[00:00:01] sphery: spl_autoload_register has been in since 5.1.2 per http://us3.php.net/manual/en/function.spl-autoload-register.php
[00:00:20] andreax: Yeah found it too... Let me dig a bit if i missed something...
[00:01:04] sphery: abarbaccia: can you pastebin the output of the following, please: svn info
[00:01:19] abarbaccia: 21505
[00:01:36] kormoc: andreax, gentoo?
[00:01:57] abarbaccia: sphery: im running 21505
[00:02:17] andreax: kormoc: Yeah.
[00:02:32] kormoc: andreax, you're missing the spl use flag for php
[00:02:59] sphery: abarbaccia: gcc version?
[00:03:17] kormoc: andreax, for what it's worth, here's my enabled php flags, apache2 bcmath bzip2 cli crypt ctype curl gd-external json ldap mysql mysqli nls pcre pdo posix reflection session simplexml sockets spl ssl sysvipc tokenizer truetype unicode xml xmlreader zip zlib
[00:03:18] abarbaccia: 4.3.3
[00:03:54] kormoc: reflection is a new one that you'll want to enable, as it'll be used for the JSON endpoint
[00:04:20] xris: kormoc: anyone ever think of adding a gentoo directory to the mythtv packaging tree?
[00:04:44] andreax: kormoc: Oh, thanks. Ill enable all them and recompile... thankyou. And thanks xris.
[00:05:17] sphery: abarbaccia: do you have the output from configure, still?
[00:05:17] Dagmar: So I guess issuing a make clean worked then
[00:05:19] kormoc: andreax, erm, the ldap one won't ever be required for mythweb FYI
[00:05:32] kormoc: xris, hrm. To put documentation on build requirements?
[00:05:41] andreax: kormoc: I was about to ask! :) thx.
[00:05:50] Dagmar: Oh come on!
[00:06:01] sphery: kormoc: could put your ebuild there :)
[00:06:05] Dagmar: What if poeple need their televisions to sync with an Active Directory domain?
[00:06:09] abarbaccia: sphery: http://pastebin.com/m510937f8
[00:06:12] kormoc: sphery, heh, true
[00:06:13] Dagmar: They're going to need LDAP with some patches to do that!
[00:06:30] sphery: kormoc: since they have redhat and windows and macos packaging stuff in there
[00:06:50] Captain_Murdoch: anyone compiling the latest trunk with gcc 4.1.1?
[00:06:55] kormoc: We could do a repo there that people sync against, hrm
[00:06:58] Captain_Murdoch: latest == less than 2 hours old
[00:07:13] kormoc: 4.3.2 here
[00:07:25] xris: kormoc: yeah.
[00:07:32] sphery: Captain_Murdoch: I am (r21506), but I have the vanilla (broken) gcc 4.1.1, not the red hat "patches a plenty" version
[00:07:33] ** Captain_Murdoch puts on his glasses to check if 4.3.2 == 4.1.1  :) **
[00:07:42] xris: kormoc: http://svn.mythtv.org/trac/browser/trunk/packaging
[00:07:48] Dagmar: Was yer Qt built with a different version?
[00:07:52] Captain_Murdoch: sphery, this is 4.1.1 from an old fedora so it may be patched.
[00:08:15] sphery: Captain_Murdoch: yeah, pretty sure it was... They backported some fixes that were deemed too invasive for the GNU tree.
[00:08:19] Captain_Murdoch: it's breaking on Daniel's socket patch 21505 and I was trying to see if it was gcc or my qt 4.3
[00:08:30] sphery: though TTBOMK, that only affects the 64-bit version
[00:09:04] scan is now known as scan_away
[00:09:05] sphery: I'd guess your gcc can do everything mine can (but yours does it right ;), so I'd lean toward Qt
[00:09:49] ** sphery considers doing a release build (and totally messing up his profile ccache) to see if that's why users can't compile since the ProgramInfo/RecordingInfo **
[00:09:59] Captain_Murdoch: yeah, I made a mod to his patch, but haven't tested yet, still compiling. don't really want to make changes to encourage 4.3 usage either since it does require another patch
[00:10:00] sphery: anyone successfully building current trunk with release build?
[00:11:22] kormoc: sphery, I was I think, let me verify
[00:11:52] bonne (bonne!n=bonne@csgsolar.nexon.com.au) has joined #mythtv-users

[00:13:08] ** kormoc rebuilds to be sure **
[00:13:10] mkrufky (mkrufky!n=Jeff@unaffiliated/mkrufky) has quit (Read error: 110 (Connection timed out))
[00:14:29] sphery: heh, thanks for sacrificing your ccache for me :)
[00:15:37] kyler: Argh! I finally gave up on my old recordings after upgrading to the latest trunk. That was working for awhile but after I get a few new recordings it reverts to not listing any of them.
[00:16:06] kyler: ProgramInfo: FromStringList, not enough items in list.
[00:16:22] kormoc: sphery, heh, if anyone should, it's me, I do have 12 2.2 ghz+ core 2 cores available for compiling :)
[00:16:59] sphery: abarbaccia: I think this error is going to require a complete log file of the entire build--the actual problem is mentioned during compile as a warning (non error), but results in an error at link time, so the "short" log I got with just the failure doesn't have the info I need. Any chance you could do a make clean && make 2>&1 | tee mklog
[00:17:40] kyler: On the upside, I haven't had the frontend freeze since the upgrade.
[00:18:12] sphery: kormoc: makes me wonder if your CPU's with distcc would be faster than the disk I/O with ccache :)
[00:18:31] kormoc: heh
[00:18:47] kormoc: my ccache is distributed as well actually, nfs mounted so all the boxes share it
[00:19:09] kormoc: so it doesn't matter which node gets the recompile request, it's a cache hit if it can be
[00:20:44] sphery: either abarbaccia doesn't use ccache or he didn't notice my request for a full log :)
[00:24:35] Dagmar: When did he pastebin it??
[00:24:54] rushfan (rushfan!n=rushfan@adsl-76-241-71-250.dsl.bcvloh.sbcglobal.net) has quit ("Lost terminal")
[00:25:05] kormoc: sphery, he uses ccache, line 128 of his pastebin
[00:25:27] sphery: he pastebin'ed the log showing the actual error at http://pastebin.com/m1cfbbf29 , but I need the compile logs to find the error
[00:26:10] sphery: actually, I could just look through the class (which I'm considering doing because I'm getting bored), but thought it would be faster to just find the warning that tells me where the mistake is
[00:28:45] kormoc: sphery, all plugins and core build, gcc 4.3.2, release build
[00:28:59] sphery: kormoc: thanks
[00:29:20] sphery: I'm now thinking that I might be able to trigger the error by building without my ccache... Testing the theory.

[00:29:49] gbutters_away is now known as gbutters
[00:30:38] kormoc: 15 minutes for a full, clean compile, not too shabby
[00:31:36] sphery: (nice
[00:31:41] sphery: much more for me
[00:32:17] kormoc: just grab a mac pro and toss it into your distcc rotation ;)
[00:32:35] sphery: huh, didn't realize that distcc and ccache are enabled by default in our config
[00:33:04] sphery: I can't buy any Apple equipment. I was turned away from the store--not cool enough.  :(
[00:33:21] ** kormoc blinks **
[00:33:24] sphery: I'm a PC, and I run GNU/Linux.
[00:33:27] ** kormoc laughs **
[00:33:39] kormoc: I always wave my credit card and they let me in
[00:33:56] sphery: I really wanted to do a parody ad that said that, but my lack of artistic skills prevented it...
[00:34:18] sphery: yeah, I supposed if I didn't have the word cheapskate written across my forehead that might work for me.
[00:35:21] kormoc: %s/written/tattooed/ ?
[00:35:45] sphery: yeah, better word
[00:36:19] Dagmar: w
[00:36:28] Dagmar: Written, because tattoos ain't cheap
[00:36:37] kormoc: ha
[00:36:53] Dagmar: Three square inches of tattoo is >$200
[00:37:00] Dagmar: 1 sharpie, $1.85
[00:37:52] sphery: I just used the GIMP to make a mirror image of the word in 72-point MS Comic Sans, then used OpenOffice to print it on my inkjet, then put it up to my forehead and brushed water on the back of the paper to transfer the tattoo.
[00:38:07] kormoc: Actually, I bet I know a guy or two that would do a 'cheapskate' tattoo for free
[00:38:27] sphery: or, for a bottle of bacon vodka at most :)
[00:38:32] Gav8in: "jailhouse" ?
[00:40:26] kormoc: heh, i *know* I could get someone to do it for a bottle of vodka, bacon or not ;)
[00:40:30] kormoc: nah, not jailhouse

[00:51:49] kyler: Anyone using Gloss? I'm looking for an alternate frontend. (Well, an alternative to me running mysql and mplayer by hand.)
[00:52:31] kormoc: nope, and why?
[00:52:56] kyler: trunk frontend breaks for me – won't list my recordings
[00:53:11] kormoc: might want to fix that
[00:53:38] kyler: Yeah, it's not pleasant. I at least need something simple my wife can use to watch news in the morning.
[00:53:42] iamlindoro: It won't list your recordings because you've broken your setup, it's not trunk's fault
[00:54:01] iamlindoro: and an alternate frontend won't work around broken DB or mismatched versions
[00:54:12] Scopeuk (Scopeuk!n=scopeukf@cpc1-mfld11-0-0-cust667.nott.cable.ntl.com) has quit (Read error: 110 (Connection timed out))
[00:54:19] kormoc: wow, gloss doesn't even attempt to work with myth really, still requires mysql.txt, doesn't support config.xml, nor upnp, nor trunk
[00:54:24] kyler: DB's fine. Backend's fine. I have no problems accessing them.
[00:54:55] iamlindoro: kyler, If they were fine, you would see recordings
[00:55:03] iamlindoro: so they may *appear* fine, but they are not.
[00:55:09] kormoc: nor does it use the python bindings, he wrote his own SQL interface
[00:55:16] kyler: I do when I use mysql directly. Another frontend could do that too.
[00:55:30] iamlindoro: *headdesk*
[00:55:46] iamlindoro: to BOTH of the last two comments
[00:55:49] kormoc: kyler, so you're saying it's not a configuration issue when everyone else who runs trunk sees their recordings fine?
[00:56:00] ** kormoc shrugs **
[00:56:09] kyler: No, I'm saying I don't care. I just want to watch the recordings there.
[00:56:31] kyler: ...using something easier than the manual method I'm using now.
[00:56:39] kormoc: so why not just fix the configuration issue?
[00:57:30] kyler: kormac: If I knew how to fix it I'd be all over it.
[00:57:41] kyler: (I was up all night trying things.)
[00:57:56] kormoc: it's moc, not mac, and you haven't pastebinned any logs for us to see afaik
[00:58:30] kormoc: mythfrontend -v most &> file_to_pastebin.log would be quite handy

[01:12:57] Dagmar: Yeah the vague nature of his query gave me pause or I'd have considered saying "Oh well, just wait for iamlindoro... He'll be around in a few more hours"
[01:13:03] iamlindoro: heh
[01:13:05] iamlindoro: well thanks

[02:32:48] vhann: So what is not supported on this card: http://www.linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/DViCO_F . . . Dual_Express
[02:33:18] iamlindoro: vhann, anything besides digital OTA or digital cable
[02:33:23] iamlindoro: (is not supported)
[02:33:39] iamlindoro: You can capture whatever is unencrypted QAM from Cable, or from an antenna
[02:34:07] Dagmar: ...and as far as I can tell, none of the ports on that card (except for the 3.5mm audio one) are outputs
[02:34:09] vhann: So, if I connect the card to say the coax out of my PVR it should work right?
[02:34:15] iamlindoro: vhann, no
[02:34:26] brutus: i`ve managed to make mysql work the problem was the login, fired up frontend and now my red led works , what next ?
[02:34:27] Dagmar: You'd want to use s-video for that hop if you can
[02:34:30] iamlindoro: cable boxes do not output digital over coax
[02:34:31] vhann: Sorry, yeah, I meant input
[02:34:33] vhann: Oh cool
[02:34:46] redparchel: does anyone have a copy of [or know where to get] MythTwit [originally hosted at http://www.nugatory.co.uk/~mark/2007/09/30/mythtwit-v003/]&nb sp;?
[02:34:50] Dagmar: s-video won't be as prone to interference from the next-door neighbors piece of crap NES16
[02:34:51] iamlindoro: that card will be unable to capture *anything* from your cable box
[02:34:54] vhann: so, if I use the S-video to YUV converter included it would work?
[02:34:57] iamlindoro: no
[02:34:57] iamlindoro: no
[02:34:58] iamlindoro: no
[02:34:58] iamlindoro: no
[02:34:59] iamlindoro: no
[02:35:01] iamlindoro: again
[02:35:02] iamlindoro: no
[02:35:21] Dagmar: iamlindoro: Drivers don't work?
[02:35:30] iamlindoro: The ONLY THING that card can capture is antenna, or (straight from the wall) whatever channels your cable co leaves unencrypted
[02:35:37] iamlindoro: Dagmar, Correct, no analog support on the card
[02:36:00] Dagmar: Ohhh *ouch*!
[02:36:08] vhann: iamlindoro: I'm not sure, but any TV I plug in the coax out displays correctly, so I assume it's unencrypted
[02:36:10] Dagmar: Wait, you _sure_ about that?
[02:36:20] Dagmar: I'm looking at it on NewEgg. It's definitely got s-video inputs
[02:36:24] iamlindoro: vhann, coaxial out from your cable box is RF, not QAM
[02:36:31] Dagmar: ...now whether or not his STB has an s-video output he can use is another matter
[02:36:36] iamlindoro: Dagmar, not driver support
[02:36:40] iamlindoro: er no
[02:36:46] iamlindoro: "It is supported under Linux since kernel 2.6.27. (Note: Analog support is not implemented yet). "
[02:36:49] Dagmar: Drat. Yeah that kinda sucks then
[02:37:28] iamlindoro: vhann, The coax out from your cable box is an analog source. The coax out of your wall is (likely) a digital one. The one out of the wall can be captured, BUT only the (very few) channels the cable co does not encrypt.
[02:38:16] vhann: iamlindoro: There is no cable where I live, we get TV from a satellite receiver which is plugged in the provider's PVR
[02:38:30] iamlindoro: vhann, Then that card will be unable to capture anything for you
[02:38:33] iamlindoro: nothing whatsoever
[02:38:40] vhann: Oh
[02:39:42] vhann: Do you know of any card which has analog support?
[02:39:55] vhann: (I guess this is what I need)
[02:40:44] iamlindoro: Buy a second hand Hauppauge PVR-150 or PVR-500. Failing that, buy an HVR-1600.
[02:41:05] iamlindoro: don't look at another card and decide it's "good enough"
[02:41:18] vhann: Ok
[02:41:37] vhann: I didn't know what to buy since this is the first media center I built
[02:41:53] brutus: pvr 2000 i think its ok
[02:41:59] brutus: from leadtek
[02:42:25] vhann: Well, thanks a lot brutus iamlindoro and Dagmar
[02:42:42] iamlindoro: brutus, no, it's not.
[02:42:44] brutus: i use dth2000 h from leadtek on ubuntu 9.04 and its still on dev
[02:42:58] brutus: i have image but no sound
[02:43:02] iamlindoro: brutus, That card is not an acceptable option... you don't even have a working myth box, PLEASE don't give advice
[02:43:16] vhann: Support is currently limited to digital TV mode only. Analog support (both analog TV & A/V input) will be added to the CX23885 driver soon; which will enable preview analog video support. This feature is already supported on CX23887-based products
[02:43:37] iamlindoro: vhann, don't know what you are looking at
[02:43:44] brutus: iamlindoro : first the card has to be supported to be used by mythtv
[02:43:56] vhann: http://www.linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/ATSC_PC . . . _PCIe_Cards:
[02:44:07] iamlindoro: brutus, PLEASE DON'T GIVE MYTH ADVICE if you don't have a working myth box!
[02:44:32] brutus: and yeah i dont have a working myth tv box because lazy tutorials
[02:44:43] iamlindoro: so stop giving advice
[02:44:49] iamlindoro: because so far it's 100% wrong
[02:44:52] brutus: and have to make byhand the mysql database for mythtv
[02:46:32] vhann: iamlindoro: Are there PCIE 1x versions of those Hauppauge cards?
[02:46:52] iamlindoro: vhann, The HVR-1800 exists and *mostly* works, but has driver issues and will not currently work for analog in myth
[02:47:29] vhann: iamlindoro: So those cards you recommend me are? PCI cards?
[02:47:38] iamlindoro: vhann, correct, PCI
[02:47:59] vhann: What's the maximum resolution I can get from a PCI tuner card?
[02:48:28] vhann: *Do you know what is... ?
[02:48:40] iamlindoro: the maximum resolution your box is going to output will be 720x480, so anything above is irrelevant
[02:48:53] brutus: i`ve managed finally to install mythtv on ubuntu :D
[02:49:07] brutus: ty guys
[02:56:53] vhann: iamlindoro: Is Hauppauge HVR-1600 less good than PVR-150 and/or PVR-500?
[02:57:08] iamlindoro: vhann, HVR-1600 is the replacement for the PVR-150
[02:57:14] vhann: Because by the look of it the last two can't be bought anymore
[02:57:23] vhann: What do you mean 'replacement' ?
[02:57:31] iamlindoro: meaning it's the product that replaced it
[02:57:42] iamlindoro: the former are more well understood and the old standbys

[03:17:32] wagnerrp: mythtwit....? seriously...?
[03:20:18] redparchel: yes seriously .. its a great paging system for when your recordings are done .. i used it for almost 2 years .. i just formated my mythbox and apparentl the source isnt hosted anymore
[03:21:25] iamlindoro: the point of a DVR is not to need to know when things record, and to watch them on your schedule
[03:21:39] wagnerrp: i just dont see the point of making my actions available to the world at large
[03:21:48] redparchel: they don't need to be
[03:22:08] wagnerrp: when five minutes with some bash and a command line emailer can accomplish the same feat
[03:22:31] iamlindoro: or 40 or so characters in perl
[03:22:47] redparchel: sure it could ... and that will be my next option.
[03:22:50] iamlindoro: not that I wrote such a thing and posted it to the wiki as a joke, only to find a bunch of retards actually using
[03:22:54] iamlindoro: it
[03:23:06] iamlindoro: that would be silly
[03:23:17] wagnerrp: or youve got an ical feed for upcoming recordings
[03:23:43] wagnerrp: and an rss feed for recorded programs
[03:24:08] wagnerrp: it might be worthwhile to copy the rss code into the 'backend logs' page
[03:24:16] wagnerrp: kormoc could probably pull that off in a couple of minutes
[03:25:07] redparchel: there are many options, but for me mythtwit worked well, I'll just wrap up the twitter perl api into a userjob
[03:25:50] iamlindoro: some people can't take a hint

[03:26:41] iamlindoro: COUGH COUGH

[03:29:28] iamlindoro: Is there another kind?
[03:30:00] wagnerrp: 'english – profanity' is a subset of english, using only profanity to convey thoughts
[03:30:10] iamlindoro: I like it

[03:36:02] Dagmar: All we can do is try new ways to encourage people to get it (and show them how to get it)
[03:36:14] wagnerrp: man, if only we had a webpage to put all this stuff on....
[03:36:18] Dagmar: heh
[03:36:49] redparchel: and if only it had a "search" box where you could put in what you wanted and it would .. magically? ... return it in a nice list?
[03:36:59] wagnerrp: the fact that you have had mythtv functional for several years puts you heads above most people in here
[03:37:14] wagnerrp: theres at least a handful of people in here daily that dont even know mythtv documentation exists
[03:37:24] wagnerrp: yet somehow they manage to find the IRC channel
[03:37:26] wagnerrp: go figure...
[03:37:30] redparchel: HA!
[03:37:37] Dagmar: There's so much that _could_ be documented there's an ugly catch-22
[03:38:04] Dagmar: Like, I could definitely sit down and document every little piece of the thing, including how to troubleshoot each piece on any platform...
[03:38:20] Dagmar: ...and 95% of the people would see it and say "WALL OF TEXT OMG"
[03:38:28] wagnerrp: im talking about things like... 'mythtv says i cannot connect to the database, what is a database'
[03:38:32] Dagmar: ...and they'd be at least half-right.
[03:39:00] Dagmar: Now, if we could ship say, a video DVD...
[03:39:03] redparchel: if i remember some of the docs a few years ago, it was on HUGE page w/ some html anchors
[03:39:21] Dagmar: Yeah but at least it was sequential
[03:39:22] redparchel: i dont think more people made it past the intro
[03:39:32] redparchel: true
[03:39:51] Dagmar: They get it into their heads that since TV is very much plug-n-play that anything connected to it must necessarily also be plug-n-play
[03:40:19] wagnerrp: yeah, luckily by the time i tried mythtv (early 06), gentoo had a full step-by-step guide to go off of
[03:40:33] Dagmar: ...which just isn't going to be the case for a long while. Particularly as long as myth is capable of handing more than a small number of input and storage mechanisms
[03:41:13] redparchel: gentoo mythtv was FUN right up to the lirc configuration
[03:41:25] redparchel: then it just got ... ugly
[03:41:40] Dagmar: LIRC is a bitch
[03:41:48] Dagmar: Kinda the same reasons as what I cited above
[03:41:48] wagnerrp: luckily both of my tuners at least have IR codes built into the drivers
[03:41:56] wagnerrp: i only needed the lircrc file
[03:42:05] wagnerrp: err... both of my remotes
[03:42:16] Dagmar: There's a jillion different remotes, no mechanism for autodetection worth messing with coding for, and many input devices as well
[03:43:05] redparchel: can we talk about how ubuntu handles it? lets just put every possiblity in to one GIANT config file ..
[03:43:27] clever: thats not what i saw last time
[03:43:34] clever: i had 200 tiny config files, 1 per remote
[03:43:36] wagnerrp: redparchel: i thought ubuntu had a bunch of individual files with includes
[03:43:42] redparchel: if your remote is at the bottom there is actually a lag between button presses
[03:43:47] clever: and the dpkg configure script used include's, like wagnerrp just said
[03:44:04] Dagmar: Yeah that was just a bad solution on their part
[03:44:47] Dagmar: Honestly going to that point, they could have just said "Okay. Now we want you to push a few buttons on the remote. Start by pressing PLAY. Now FFWD. Now the number 1. Now hold the power button down..." and just worked out which remote the user had by process of elimination
[03:45:33] clever: you could create a special remote definition file, which has the 'play' button from 200 remotes, and unique names for each code
[03:45:35] wagnerrp: Dagmar: the Harmony remotes actually do something similar to that

[03:46:56] clever: with a well crafted file like that, you can quickly deduce the exact remote the user is using with just a few buttons
[03:47:06] zugzug: I think it has dual tuners IIRC
[03:47:12] Dagmar: zugzug: None of them are OS-dependent than I'm aware of
[03:47:24] wagnerrp: zugzug: do you mean the HDHR? network attached tuner?
[03:47:26] clever: zugzug: HDHR i beleive is OS independent, ethernet based, dual digital capture
[03:47:32] Dagmar: ...aside from possibly you could apply that term to the ones that have zero support outside of Windows
[03:47:53] zugzug: yea
[03:48:06] Dagmar: Host independent
[03:49:03] wagnerrp: well its technically OS independent
[03:49:32] Dagmar: Yeah but it's on par with any other network device in that sense
[03:49:32] wagnerrp: the protocol is completely open, all you need is an OS that can handle the network traffic
[03:49:48] Dagmar: It would sound silly to say your Linksys router is "OS indenpendent"
[03:49:50] wagnerrp: which means support for 10/100 ethernet cards or better

[03:52:37] wagnerrp: i mean youre paying $60-$80/tuner
[03:53:04] wagnerrp: you can easily find single tuners running for $35-$50
[03:53:20] wagnerrp: dual tuners usually start around $100
[03:53:44] wagnerrp: the cheapest i have ever seen the HDHR for is $120

[03:53:57] zugzug: is it reliable?
[03:54:05] wagnerrp: on the other hand... it lets me use my freebsd file server as my primary backend
[03:54:16] wagnerrp: considering freebsd has hardly any tuner support
[03:54:36] wagnerrp: zugzug: some people have complained about needing to power cycle it occasionally
[03:54:44] wagnerrp: ive had once since november, and it has only hiccuped once
[03:54:46] Dagmar: Cuz you know... someone could take over the local broadcast station and use it to exploit your machine
[03:55:12] wagnerrp: Dagmar: huh?
[03:55:20] zugzug: wagnerrp: that's what I'm doing. I don't want to combine my nas with my DVR. I follow KISS. Let the nas nas and the DVR DVR. It's more stable that way
[03:56:56] wagnerrp: zugzug: but i want to run my dvr on my 'nas'... considering my 'nas' already runs about half a dozen other servers, and probably weighs around 100lbs
[03:57:05] Dagmar: wagnerrp: FreeBSD has this aversion to anything that could ever even remotely be considered a possible vulnerability vector
[03:57:19] zugzug: ummmmmm
[03:57:21] zugzug: large nas
[03:57:21] wagnerrp: Dagmar: thats OpenBSD
[03:57:23] zugzug: what does it run?
[03:57:42] Dagmar: wagnerrp: From where Linux generally stands, they're all three paranoid crazies
[03:57:46] wagnerrp: freebsd just lacks drivers, because no one has bothered to write them
[03:58:07] wagnerrp: there are drivers for the PVR line, but i cant get them to compile
[03:58:14] zugzug: last time I was on here people were telling me the mythtv backend is garbage on freebsd
[03:58:35] wagnerrp: mythbackend runs just fine on freebsd
[03:58:46] wagnerrp: but as i said, the problem is near complete lack of tuner cards
[04:01:15] wagnerrp: anyway, my 'nas' is a big heavy steel double-wide tower, with 16 hard drives

[04:08:30] sphery: abarbaccia: yeah, but this time, I need you to do a make clean first
[04:08:38] Dagmar: That's basically all you have to do--redirect the output through a pipe so that it makes a text file copy of everything it said as it compiled.
[04:08:40] abarbaccia: make distclean good?
[04:08:40] sphery: I need the compile portion as well as the link part
[04:08:48] sphery: make distclean is even better.
[04:09:01] Dagmar: make distclean should kill the problem
[04:09:04] sphery: It will be a large log file, but you should be able to find a site to post it
[04:09:14] abarbaccia: pastebin
[04:09:14] sphery: he already did a make distclean and it didn't fix it :)
[04:09:23] Dagmar: I'm not sure how that's even possible tho
[04:09:29] sphery: yeah, if pastebin doesn't allow something that long, let me know
[04:09:36] Dagmar: ...not unless something's triggering a linking bug
[04:09:50] sphery: Dagmar: the error he's getting may actually be due to an invalid C++ construct
[04:09:56] Dagmar: Could be
[04:10:03] abarbaccia: omg. i might have found a REAL bug
[04:10:09] abarbaccia: woot!
[04:10:21] Dagmar: The kind of bug that kills civilizations
[04:10:24] sphery: and some linkers may be more strict about it than others (like mine)
[04:11:14] Dagmar: You didn't start naming new libraries after alphabet letters did you?
[04:11:36] Dagmar: I had an instructor once who was in a bit of a hurry and made liba.so, libb.so...
[04:11:44] abarbaccia: 99% of my errors are usually found between the chair and the keyboard
[04:11:51] Dagmar: The next bit I think you can guess
[04:12:22] clever: Dagmar: forgot which one was which?
[04:12:29] clever: or did he screw up libc? :P
[04:12:40] Dagmar: clever: He went on to make a third library
[04:12:48] clever: oh boy
[04:12:56] abarbaccia: http://pastebin.com/m200527a6
[04:14:02] Dagmar: Yeah he facepalmed over that
[04:14:55] Dagmar: OKay yeah THAT's why I was slightly hinting at the exact error earlier
[04:15:03] Dagmar: This is definitely a C++ eff up, i.e., "just a bug"
[04:17:59] wagnerrp: is that a C++ error? or is that trying to link against the wrong libraries?
[04:18:19] wagnerrp: abarbaccia: uninstall the current version, and try building again
[04:19:12] abarbaccia: wagnerrp: i don't believe anything is installed currently
[04:19:30] abarbaccia: i have removed all packages, and all installed files
[04:19:51] wagnerrp: do a 'make uninstall' just to make sure
[04:20:28] Dagmar: Now, ccache might be screwing things up
[04:20:40] Dagmar: ...but that's a guess based on my unfamiliarity with ccache
[04:21:01] Dagmar: ...but starting at line 1541 what I'm seeing is definitely just a programming error
[04:22:11] wagnerrp: there was some refactoring of the ProgramInfo stuff
[04:22:15] wagnerrp: this may be related to that
[04:22:15] abarbaccia: wagnerrp: i did that multiple times before (this is day 2 of trying to compile). there is nothing installed on my system as of now.

[04:30:33] kormoc: kyler: what distro?
[04:30:33] sphery: yeah, I'm 99% positive this is just a super-picky linker that's upset because we're violating: http://gcc.gnu.org/faq.html#vtables

[04:32:10] kormoc: that's from a invalid hostname being used previously

[04:34:44] kyler: It's not pretty...http://lairds.us/temp/mythtv/housekeeping.txt
[04:34:52] kormoc: Yeah, that's a corrupt table there
[04:35:05] kyler: sphery: Yeah, binary copies aren't my favorite either.
[04:35:18] Dagmar: Binary dumps are generally unsafe unless you plan on never changing the system
[04:35:30] abarbaccia: im going through and finding any left over libmyth* files and manually removing them
[04:35:35] sphery: kormoc: he's querying a varbinary table because that's part way into the UTF-8 conversion
[04:35:45] Dagmar: Oh god
[04:35:50] Dagmar: The conversion crashed?
[04:35:54] sphery: yeah
[04:36:15] Dagmar: I don't suppose there's any chance he could restore the last backup before that and start it over...
[04:36:25] sphery: abarbaccia: left over libmyth* files can actually cause the error we're seeing
[04:36:29] kyler: Note that the table was the same when I ran it originally – not from backups.
[04:36:35] wagnerrp: the schema update *should* make a backup before doing anything
[04:36:40] sphery: abarbaccia: I didn't think you had any since you said you hadn't installed mythtv yet
[04:36:52] abarbaccia: sphery: when u said it was a linking problem and u were able to build, i figured it was probably something sloppy on my end
[04:36:55] abarbaccia: that's what is odd
[04:36:59] abarbaccia: i didn't install myth yet
[04:37:06] abarbaccia: on a VM i was testing
[04:37:08] abarbaccia: same error.
[04:37:08] kormoc: kyler: well, so to be blunt here, your data is all suspect and is unlikely to be valid
[04:37:09] kyler: wagnerrp: It did. I tried using it (late last night – I've slept since) and it didn't work but I could try again.
[04:37:09] sphery: kyler: can you re-restore the pre-upgrade backup (whatever you have) and then repeat those commands kormoc gave you, please?
[04:37:19] kyler: sphery: Will do.
[04:37:30] Dagmar: abarbaccia: Yeah I'm really pretty sure it's not a stale library installed in /usr/lib screwing things up
[04:37:38] Dagmar: The error you get from that is quite different
[04:37:54] abarbaccia: okay, well im testing the build right now and we'll see what the outcome is..
[04:37:54] kyler: sphery: The upshot is that I can get the backend working great (recording and all).
[04:37:58] Dagmar: The words you used earlier this afternoon wwere more in line with the other kind of error which is why we jumped on "run make clean!"
[04:38:02] sphery: kyler: how big is your non-binary backup (and if compressed, what compression)?
[04:38:18] kormoc: kyler: that you know of, to be fair, you likely haven't really vetted all the data
[04:38:53] Dagmar: abarbaccia: For reference, look at this URL http://osdir.com/ml/drivers.unichrome.user/2005-04/msg00217.html
[04:39:05] Dagmar: THAT is the type of error you get from stale libraries in /usr/lib getting in the way
[04:39:23] kyler: kormoc: Sure. It ran a couple days and has been recording what I want. That's been nice.
[04:39:24] Dagmar: A key clue being "../../libs/libmythtv/libmythtv-0.17.so: undefined reference to
[04:39:24] Dagmar: `XvMCGetSurfaceStatus'
[04:39:39] Dagmar: Note that the origin is a shared object library, and it's talking about specific symbols
[04:40:21] Dagmar: Yours is coming from an object file, but is referencing distinct function calls in groups
[04:40:48] abarbaccia: well, it just built lol
[04:41:04] Dagmar: That's either ccache pulling a stunt and resurrecting old pieces, or a scoping error that the compiler doesn't like one bit (and I have not a clue how to fix)
[04:41:10] Dagmar: Awesome
[04:41:28] Dagmar: Did you run make clean earlier and distclean this time?
[04:41:32] Dagmar: What did you do differently?
[04:41:46] abarbaccia: i removed all the old libraries manually from /usr/lib/libmyth*
[04:41:57] abarbaccia: and /usr/share/lib/libmyth*
[04:42:02] abarbaccia: make distclean
[04:42:04] kyler: I've restored from an upgrade backup. I think it's a slightly different one than I used before. (There was one that was uncompressed.) housekeeping looks good. Rerunning upgrade...
[04:42:25] Dagmar: Hmm... I'll have to turn on ccache here later and see if it does something different between clean and distclean
[04:42:46] Dagmar: I should really learn how to use it, but I don't care enough. I have plenty of megahurts to go 'round.  :)
[04:43:10] RyeBrye: ccache really shouldn't. it takes a hash of the preprocessed source and uses that to retrieve the precompiled (cached) version. the likelihood of a cache collission is incredibly low
[04:43:15] kyler: Ug. No I think this was a later backup. It was already at 1238.
[04:43:52] Dagmar: Yeah but we're also talking about build files that involve moc
[04:43:54] Dagmar: ...and moc is evil
[04:44:04] Dagmar: evil! *shakesfist*
[04:44:10] sphery: kyler: assuming you were upgrading from -fixes, you should have a 1214 backup somewhere

[04:51:07] Dagmar: ...but hey if it works now who cares
[04:51:55] sphery: kyler: you're looking on the right machine, right? (the one that's running mythbackend/doing the upgrade)
[04:52:11] kyler: sphery: Yup. Unfortunately.

[05:05:00] sphery: kyler: without a /good/ pre-upgrade backup, there's not much you can do
[05:06:27] sphery: kyler: at /minimum/ if you can't get a good pre-upgrade backup to restore, you should backup your upgraded/trunk DB ( http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Database_Backup_and_Restore ), then drop the DB, then do a partial restore (without plugin data) ( http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Database_Backup_an . . . _of_a_backup )
[05:06:39] sphery: kyler: that will basically minimize the amount of corruption in your DB
[05:07:31] kyler: sphery: I went through that last night. I'll take another pass at it. Thanks.
[05:09:41] sphery: well, if you've done it once and it didn't help, then it probably won't help this time, either.
[05:10:50] kyler: sphery: I'm still boggled by the mismatch between the backend and the frontend. The protocol really relies on the database schema? There's so much hardcoding that I really wouldn't expect that.
[05:11:12] kormoc: Yeah, if the database schema is broken, the protocol is broken
[05:11:40] kormoc: and any other frontend clones would likely break in the same way, as it's speced to

[05:12:42] wagnerrp: kyler: we want people to talk to the backend, without resorting to search through the database
[05:13:00] kormoc: the whole point of the frontend is more then just recordings, it's the comm flagging, seek table markups, etc
[05:13:05] kyler: wagnerrp: It's a fragile system.
[05:13:05] wagnerrp: and using neither isnt an option, because then you just get a channel id and a start time
[05:13:16] wagnerrp: no metadata
[05:13:20] kormoc: a frontend that only supports recordings... might as well use mythlink.pl or whatever it's called this week
[05:13:45] kormoc: kyler: only when your database is broken. You happened to have corrupted a enterprise level data store and you call it fragile....
[05:14:44] kyler: kormoc: Well...the upgrade process did it. I was "hands off" on the database for all the years it's been running.
[05:14:49] kormoc: not true

[05:35:49] sphery: kyler: for the most part Blue and G.A.N.T both fall back to default for their theme stuff

[05:36:15] sphery: you're welcome.
[05:36:24] sphery: sorry I couldn't give you a procedure to fix the data
[05:37:26] sphery: though, if it helps any, I think I'll be sending something to the list reminding people that when Myth upgrades the DB it makes a DB backup and that if /anything/ at all goes wrong during the upgrade they need to save a copy of the /original/ backup made before /any/ upgrades were attempted.
[05:37:38] sphery: So, you may just save some other users a lot of trouble.  :)
[05:38:20] kyler: sphery: I'm alright with having it recording well for now. I need to get a better playback system than manually poking mysql but that's alright.

[05:48:17] wagnerrp: miro-bridge is intended to go the other direction
[05:48:30] wagnerrp: dump miro streaming content into mythtv
[05:48:36] kyler: wagnerrp: Yup. I like the idea of having it at home though.
[05:49:07] kyler: When I started using Miro (DemocracyPlayer) I longed for it to be integrated into Myth.

[06:58:02] matt2154: Hi there, is it possible to watch recorded shows at less than full screen? My CPU can't handle 1280x1024
[06:58:20] wagnerrp: im finding that the little python program i have runs too fast
[06:58:25] sphery: matt2154: scaling the video takes virtually no resources--it's all done on the video card
[06:58:37] wagnerrp: i dont ask for another keypress until ive sent the previous one to the socket
[06:58:41] sphery: matt2154: decoding the video is CPU intensive
[06:58:42] kormoc: matt2154: it'd only make it worse, as the decoding is the cpu costly part, and you'd just be decoding + scaling rather decoding
[06:58:50] kormoc: *rather then just decoding
[06:58:52] sphery: matt2154: what's the source type?
[06:58:53] kormoc: wagnerrp: hrm
[06:58:53] matt2154: sphery: unfortunately i have an old nvidia, so my cpu is doing all of the work...
[06:58:59] wagnerrp: but i find i can press right for a couple seconds, and it will keep skipping right for half a minute
[06:59:17] sphery: matt2154: if you have Xv, your GPU is doing all of the scaling
[06:59:22] wagnerrp: just wondering if you'd noticed similar behavior
[06:59:24] kormoc: wagnerrp: you running HEAD (or close to HEAD)?
[06:59:41] sphery: matt2154: Xv has been around for 15 (?) years
[06:59:42] wagnerrp: close to, built on saturday i think
[07:00:06] kormoc: wagnerrp: mythweb's remote now has a interactive mode, when enabled, we capture all keypresses rather then having to click on things to send the keys
[07:00:08] wagnerrp: which means its probably only ~100 commits behind... :P
[07:00:22] sphery: d'oh... July 1991, so it's been around for 18 yrs
[07:00:23] kormoc: wagnerrp: if you don't mind, give that a go and see if it has the same lag issue, is worse, or better?
[07:01:21] matt2154: sphery: well xvinfo does return me values, but I'm still incredibly stuttery when watching. The recordings havent been transcoded, so they are still in .nuv format. They were recorded off an ATI TV-wonder (bttv framegrabber).
[07:01:25] wagnerrp: kormoc: well what im saying is that at least in the python script that does the same thing, when you hold a key and it auto-repeats, it runs far too fast for the frontend
[07:01:30] wagnerrp: checking mythweb now...
[07:01:52] sphery: matt2154: so they're standard definition? What processor type?
[07:02:18] wagnerrp: its not letting me select the proper frontend
[07:02:24] kormoc: ooh?
[07:02:48] wagnerrp: yeah, clicking on the left side buttons do nothing
[07:02:54] sphery: matt2154: standard def MPEG-4 decoding would probably require at least a 1GHz P4 or Athlon CPU but would be better with something in the 1.5GHz range.
[07:03:06] ** kormoc blinks **
[07:03:15] matt2154: sphery: if I watch the file with mplayer at native resolution, it is very nice and smooth. Yes, SD, and dmesg reports a Pentium 4 1.80GHz stepping 2.
[07:03:16] sphery: and, of course, would only work with proper Xv support
[07:03:24] kormoc: so after clicking on the left button and then a keyboard button, it claims no FE was selected?
[07:03:35] sphery: matt2154: good news, then, we can make it work!  :D
[07:03:49] matt2154: sphery: excellent, I'm new, any advice would be welcomed :)
[07:04:08] wagnerrp: kormoc: no... but its stuck on the frontend it connected to initially
[07:04:13] wagnerrp: it wont let me select another frontend
[07:04:13] sphery: matt2154: So, I will lay odds that if you go into Utilities/Setup|Setup|TV Settings and change the Playback Profile group from CPU+ to Slim (on the 3rd screen), it will work like a charm
[07:04:20] kormoc: wagnerrp: hrm. That's... odd...
[07:04:25] wagnerrp: turning off plugins to see what happens....
[07:05:46] matt2154: sphery: I was using CPU--, let me try switching it to "slim"
[07:05:56] wagnerrp: firefox 3.5, no plugins... same behavior
[07:06:11] wagnerrp: im showing POST hits in the logs
[07:06:14] wagnerrp: so its doing something
[07:06:41] sphery: matt2154: are you using a PVR-350 for TV out?
[07:06:50] wagnerrp: im not showing any errors in the log
[07:07:02] kormoc: hrm
[07:07:26] sphery: matt2154: I'm guessing no since you mentioned an nvidia video card, but if so, it may be the source of some issues
[07:07:39] wagnerrp: well now something is borked
[07:07:57] wagnerrp: --version is reporting rev 20721, but protocol 48
[07:08:04] wagnerrp: on the frontend in question
[07:08:21] wagnerrp: of course i cant switch between either of the other two frontends anyway
[07:08:58] matt2154: sphery: no, i'm using an nvidia and ouputting directly to an 19" LCD. That made it look much smoother. Still very artifacty though... I would still prefer to have it output at native resolution or max 1.5 scaling
[07:09:35] matt2154: sphery: nvidia NV6 Vanta/Vanta LT according to lspci
[07:10:04] wagnerrp: wow, a Vanta
[07:10:23] kormoc: matt2154: change the X resolution, and you're gonna get a bit of nast artifacts due to it being a frame grabber
[07:10:30] matt2154: yeah, it is the onboard in this compaq evo slim pc
[07:10:42] wagnerrp: i remember complaining about having to use one of those for a dual opty workstation at school, like 5 years ago
[07:11:26] matt2154: kormoc: are you suggesting changing my desktop resolution?
[07:11:31] kormoc: yes
[07:11:31] sphery: matt2154: so, I'm guessing it's not the nvidia proprietary drivers?
[07:11:37] wagnerrp: ok... switching addons back on
[07:11:44] wagnerrp: lets see if firebug can make some sense of this
[07:12:04] wagnerrp: oh wait! it connected to the right one from the start
[07:12:05] sphery: matt2154: once you get it working, you can tell Myth to switch resolutions for video playback
[07:12:35] wagnerrp: well... the correct one is highlighted
[07:12:40] wagnerrp: but its not actually doing anything
[07:12:50] matt2154: sphery: yeah, nvidia's proprietary drivers dont support this card anymore. blah blah blah blobs are evil :)
[07:13:01] wagnerrp: neither in manual nor interactive mode
[07:13:04] sphery: then you can have a nice high-res menu (at LCD's native res) and then output to the LCD at the video resolution and use the LCD's scaler, instead
[07:13:13] kormoc: wagnerrp: hrm. that's odd, I can't duplicate
[07:13:22] Dagmar: Right so...
[07:13:23] sphery: matt2154: though I'd wager that the video card's scaler will be just as good or better than the LCD's
[07:13:27] Dagmar: I'm a bit of a chauvanist pig

[07:13:51] Dagmar: ...but it's glorious
[07:13:53] sphery: matt2154: IMHO, your best bet is to run MythTV (GUI's and video playback) at the LCD's native resolution

[07:21:21] kormoc: depending on the LCD, you might be able to run it in non-scaler mode, and it'll just display it smaller with black borders
[07:21:34] kormoc: sphery: he did request no/limited scaling
[07:21:56] matt2154_: kormoc: this display doesnt allow non-scaled. It is an HP1955.

[07:22:40] matt2154_: sphery: I think I missed a conversation fragment. What did you say before "then you can have a nice high-res menu..."

[07:23:54] sphery: but to do non-scaling, he'd have to do 640x480 res for recording (to make it 4:3 with square pixels) and then he'd have a tiny window in the center 1/4 of the 19" screen
[07:23:59] wagnerrp: it maybe stretches all video to the full screen
[07:24:03] matt2154_: No, I mean to say, if I send it 800x600, it will scale it up internally and still display it across 19 inches
[07:24:22] Dagmar: Okay, so that's fine then
[07:24:29] Dagmar: The menus will look much better at native res

[07:25:03] Dagmar: ...and frankly X will probably do a better job of upscaling
[07:25:26] Dagmar: It's sort of down to personal taste, since monitors tend to not induce freaking lag when they rescale
[07:25:32] Dagmar: Televisions are hateful about it
[07:25:34] clever: i find that my tvout looks worse if i set the res to something close to sdtv
[07:25:56] matt2154_: So, is it possible to have it non-scaled and letterboxed so to speak?
[07:26:00] wagnerrp: kormoc: it seems to be doing something... clicking the button killed my other socket interface
[07:26:04] clever: looks better if i set the res high and let the nvidia board downscale it
[07:26:06] sphery: yeah, tv out would, but I'll bet he's using VGA out since he's going to a monitor
[07:26:07] Dagmar: matt2154_: It darn well *should*
[07:26:10] sphery: (or DVI)
[07:26:35] wagnerrp: frontend logs reported a connection
[07:26:52] Dagmar: matt2154_: Let's put it this way, if someone in a business environment used a black background and the thing scaled their display up so that the windows bar FILLED the screen, they'd throw it out
[07:27:04] sphery: matt2154_: closest you could do with Myth is tell Myth to use a window of size 640x480 and record at 640x480
[07:27:21] sphery: though scaling should /not/ be the weak link in your chain
[07:27:25] Dagmar: It should _not_ get the idea that output from the video card at 1280x1024 should need rescaling just because there's letterboxing
[07:27:29] sphery: the NTSC signal source is the weak link
[07:27:59] Dagmar: By now I'm real sure that Myth does the right thing about that
[07:28:15] matt2154_: sphery: and since you had me change my playback profile to "slim", my problem is no longer with a pegged cpu. Now, the issue is that it is captured via an analog card at a low res
[07:28:27] Dagmar: I've got several off widescreen things, and a boatload of 4:3 recordings with letterboxing going on
[07:28:32] matt2154_: sphery: Displaying it so blown up is very noisy
[07:28:38] sphery: matt2154_: yep...
[07:28:48] Dagmar: matt2154_: That's becuase NTSC kinda sucks
[07:28:51] matt2154_: sphery: So I'd like to force myth to show it at its native resolution
[07:29:10] Dagmar: Like, NTSC looks okay on a TV becasue there's a lot of smoothing happening in multiple dimensions
[07:29:30] Dagmar: It tends to look like crap when you put it on a good digital display
[07:29:39] clever: yeah ive seen that
[07:30:07] Dagmar: You're looking at the same thing you were on the CRT TV, but now you can see artifacting and how un-sharp those lines really are
[07:30:22] Dagmar: I solve it by sitting way across the room. Heh
[07:31:13] sphery: yeah, the only reason having a 640x480 window with unscaled video in the middle of your 19" monitor will look better is because the artifacts (just like the video) will be 1/4 the size they would be at full screen
[07:31:24] matt2154_: Yes, I understand the ins and outs of analog tv. Am I out of luck with respect to getting myth to display my video in a subwindow or a letterbox?
[07:31:41] sphery: no, just set it up to run in a window
[07:31:53] sphery: there's also a setting to tell Myth to use a different size for GUI and video

[07:32:12] kormoc: seems silly to waste a 19" monitor, why not just buy a 10" monitor?
[07:32:21] matt2154_: hehe
[07:32:42] sphery: I think the window will be much smaller than a 10" monitor
[07:32:53] kormoc: it's still less wasted
[07:32:58] sphery: true
[07:33:13] matt2154_: OK, I'm trolling through TV Setting on the front end. Any idea where I find the run in a window setting?
[07:33:16] sphery: By my (3:30am) math (therefore, likely wrong), it would be like a 4.5" monitor
[07:33:17] kormoc: although I think the 10" lcd I had was 520x360 or something like that
[07:34:11] wagnerrp: oh wait... now it magically started working...

[07:38:12] wagnerrp: curses is stacking up key presses
[07:38:22] sphery: curses, foiled again!
[07:38:51] kormoc: ahh
[07:38:52] wagnerrp: now why mythweb could not connect before, and now its working fine....
[07:38:57] wagnerrp: ....i have no clue
[07:39:06] kormoc: ncurses is... fun in that way
[07:39:07] wagnerrp: i didnt do anything that would have made any difference
[07:39:55] wagnerrp: i guess ill have to look for a way to flush the buffer before requesting another key press
[07:42:17] kormoc: I found a bug
[07:45:19] kormoc: hrm
[07:45:45] kormoc: the frontend isn't accepting any special char keys anymore
[07:45:47] kormoc: namely /
[07:45:54] kormoc: is it working for you?
[07:46:55] matt2154_: sphery: Sigh, it looks like the "Seperate video modes for GUI and TV playback", causes xrandr to be run, and the desktop resolution to change when I start playing a video. Then my monitor scales the 640x480 up to 1280x1024 and I'm back to where I started. Is there an option for letterboxing instead? I know that myth has this functionality, because when I'm browsing my recordings it it shows me clip from the current
[07:46:56] matt2154_: selection in a tiny tiny little window...
[07:47:26] kormoc: matt2154_: you didn't enable run in a window
[07:47:48] matt2154_: kormoc: ok, ill try that again...
[07:49:29] sphery: the separate modes may not work with the run in a window thing (separate modes may make video run fullscreen again)--I've never used it myself, so I don't know
[07:49:40] sphery: (though fullscreen at lower res)
[07:50:30] sphery: but if that doesn't work, then the only option is to run in a window with everything set to 640x480
[07:51:38] sphery: or the 2nd best option, to find a 640x480 monitor; or the best option, to do digital TV :)
[07:52:08] sphery: as Myth always scales the video to "full" window size
[07:52:51] matt2154_: Sigh. Run in a window still scales it up to full screen. Telling it to use different resoultions for the GUI and the tv, get outsmarted by my monitor autoscaling. I give up. I'll figure out the transcoding, and just watch in mplayer
[07:53:15] sphery: you shouldn't need transcoding to watch in mplayer
[07:53:21] kormoc: if your monitor is resizing windows to full screen, that's just broken X
[07:53:51] matt2154_: You're right, I don't need transcoding to watch in mplayer. However, it freaks out anytime I try to fast forward or rewind
[07:54:00] matt2154_: when watching the nuv file
[07:54:04] sphery: I think he's right--the Separate video modes for GUI and TV playback will cause X to switch to a video mode at a lower resolution, then his monitor is upscaling that to make it full screen
[07:54:25] matt2154_: sphery: exactly
[07:54:33] sphery: matt2154_: turns out, though, the one I wanted you to switch was "Use GUI size for TV playback"
[07:55:08] sphery: but then you need 640x480 res
[07:55:43] sphery: for both gui and video
[07:58:23] matt2154_: sphery: Perfect! That does the job. Not letter boxed, but at least the video is at native resolution. I'll just swap in a black desktop background...
[08:02:33] Dagmar: You could always, I dunno, run it fullscreen
[08:03:12] matt2154_: Dagmar: huh?

[12:18:51] henkpoley: btw, what is the adviced way to remove your broken channel lineup ?
[12:19:08] henkpoley: MythTV's own "delete all channels" seems to keep the data around
[12:19:22] henkpoley: It's hard to edit with phpmyadmin
[12:19:29] GreyFoxx: Delete all removes from the database immediately
[12:19:54] GreyFoxx: you might have to restart mythbackend (but then you are warned about that when you start mythtv-setup with the backend running)

[15:08:53] henkpoley: yay, AlJazeera (13003 now) works
[15:09:31] henkpoley: hmm, this mythtv installation uses different keybindings..
[15:10:44] J-e-f-f-A: Gav8in: in the ATSC world, the channels get named with a sub-channel, such as 25.1 25.2 25.3, etc. In the Qam world, I think the channel number gets broadcast as part of the signal, but I'm not positive. (IE The QAM frequency has little or no relation to the 'virtual' channel number – at least that's the way it works in the Sat world...)
[15:10:50] henkpoley: Channel 5 is analog (noise even).. after that LiveTV only tunes analog.. until I restart livetv
[15:11:45] Gav8in: jeffA, yeah. I'm asking because I'm coding up a scheduler, and I need to name these things. it's natural to call the subchannels "channels", and the master channels "carriers", so I guess I'll use that until corrected.
[15:11:58] J-e-f-f-A: henkpoley: To switch to a different tuner/source, you have to either use the OSD Channel Guide, or the menu to change the source. (At least in 0.21-fixes – trunk has an option to allow cross-source channel changinging in live tv)
[15:12:22] henkpoley: Used to be [C] isn't it ?
[15:13:24] J-e-f-f-A: henkpoley: I don't know that "C" works to switch tuners anymore, but bringing up the Menu with "M" lets you switch sources and/or inputs.
[15:13:51] J-e-f-f-A: henkpoley: IIRC, "C" works to switch tuners within the same source, but not cross-source... I think that's what it is...

[15:14:56] henkpoley: You know what makes MythTV decides something is "the same" channel ? For analog that used to be the xmltv id
[15:15:12] henkpoley: I now have analog and digital showing up under the same number
[15:16:17] J-e-f-f-A: henkpoley: I believe that's still true (xmltv id)
[15:16:38] J-e-f-f-A: henkpoley: Having two different sources with the same channel numbers will just confuse Myth I think...
[15:17:28] henkpoley: I had it working on 0.19–0.21
[15:18:29] henkpoley: Now to see how I get everything to autostart with self compiled trunk
[15:18:34] J-e-f-f-A: henkpoley: IIRC, the scheduler uses the callsign to differentiate different channels. (But I may be wrong...)
[15:20:51] J-e-f-f-A: henkpoley: I take it you already know that trunk is in a high state of flux right now, and you're likely to run into issues...  ;-) Lots of commits happening right now...

[15:23:40] wagnerrp: i havent seen anything in the commit logs about it
[15:23:43] sphery: henkpoley: from your pastebin, the Db characterset was utf8 only because you were part way through the upgrade
[15:24:25] sphery: henkpoley: because all the others were latin1, your DB server was properly configured, so it was a different corruption.
[15:24:44] J-e-f-f-A: wagnerrp: I saw something a day or two about IP timeout handling that was commited that may have helped with that issue...

[15:25:29] wagnerrp: well... drops connection... retries... drops connection....
[15:26:33] henkpoley: sphery: Yes I probably have a *real* 1214 backup from months ago, before I cleaned up my mythtv

[15:27:23] davidm is now known as Guest56705
[15:27:31] henkpoley: but it didn't, and then I just *downgraded the db version number*, because that just worked at the time

[15:29:46] henkpoley: sphery: I expect mythbackend switches to the mythtv user and looks in /home/mythtv
[15:30:03] henkpoley: where the backup isn't configured
[15:30:18] sphery: mazda01: if you're not specifying a --filename option in your backup, you don't need it
[15:30:49] wagnerrp: J-e-f-f-A: well if nothing else... ill just have to switch MBEs to the one with the analog tuners tonight
[15:30:57] sphery: mazda01: i.e. the one that's in there works for the default filename format
[15:31:51] J-e-f-f-A: wagnerrp: 6516 – Mythfilldatabase times out when rescheuduling "I've been looking at the socket code recently and already have a patch that retries more effectively... This can also cause recorders to go offline until mythbackend is restarted and cause slave backends to disconnect permanently."
[15:32:25] sphery: henkpoley: when run automatically by the backend, the ~/.mythtv/backuprc is not used. Instead, the information used by mythtv-setup or mythbackend (whichever is performing the upgrade) is written to the "database information file" (/tmp/mythtv_db_backup_conf_WPde1n in the example above)
[15:32:38] sphery: information used by the program to get to the DB
[15:32:39] J-e-f-f-A: wagnerrp: so it's not commited yet, but he's working on the socket code... ;-)
[15:32:55] sphery: therefore, known to be good information (since mythtv-setup or mythbackend used it)
[15:33:20] wagnerrp: J-e-f-f-A: the bug only showed up sometime in the last couple days
[15:33:25] wagnerrp: that sounds too old
[15:33:44] henkpoley: sphery: then mythvsetup uses the 'mythtv' mysql-user, which appears to not have all privileges for the kinf backup that the script want to do
[15:33:55] iamlindoro: wagnerrp: you have a PM from me
[15:34:13] sphery: henkpoley: do you know which privs are missing? I'm guessing that user was set up by your distro?
[15:34:37] J-e-f-f-A: wagnerrp: The ticket itself was opened May 2nd, but there has been activity the last few days.
[15:34:42] henkpoley: sphery: on my own user (/home/henk) I just fixed it by using the mysql superuser
[15:34:46] sphery: (as the "official" mc.sql script creates a mythtv user with GRANT ALL...)
[15:35:36] Dassu: Is somebody here using Mythstream with youtube parser ?
[15:36:05] songer: hello people
[15:36:21] sphery: henkpoley: so when you do sudo mythbackend, does it actually run as root or does the mythbackend script do some kind of switch user thing? (I'm guessing this is *buntu, right?)
[15:36:50] henkpoley: sphery: ubuntu with my own compiled mythtv-trunk
[15:37:19] henkpoley: btw, "as long as the callsigns are the same, scheduled recordings will be moved from one tuner to another"
[15:37:28] songer: I already install mythtv but something is missing
[15:37:41] sphery: so is mythbackend actually the elf binary or a wrapper script (like in *buntu-packaged mythtv)?

[15:39:37] songer: How can I install an X display
[15:40:09] henkpoley: songer: install it where ?
[15:40:22] songer: for mythtv
[15:40:41] sphery: henkpoley: sounds like it's the binary, so it ran as system root. Then it would write the db info file as root with 400 privs, then when mythbackend spawned a new process to run the backup, that process would have be be running as root... I don't know my sudo to know well enough if that would work properly without, i.e., sudo -i'
[15:40:50] henkpoley: songer: most distros include Xorg by default
[15:40:58] songer: it says, Note that this program requires an X display
[15:41:22] sphery: songer: you just need to start an X display or, if one's started, you need to use a user who has permissions to use the X display
[15:41:35] sphery: i.e. you can't install Myth if X isn't installed
[15:42:49] songer: Ok, if I run mythtv just see a blue screen without words
[15:42:59] J-e-f-f-A: songer: "X" is your 'windows' like GUI environment... so if you're using a mouse within Linux, you have an X environment installed... "X" is short for "X-Windows"...
[15:43:20] songer: ok
[15:43:29] sphery: henkpoley: if you still have any of the DB backups that were created before a failed upgrade (or if you have the a DB backup from months ago), I'd love to get one

[16:25:38] J-e-f-f-A: what are backups?  ;-) hehehe
[16:26:11] sphery: I have a feeling that a lot of people who experience DB upgrade failures and then say, "it's now fixed," are not actually fixing the problems that caused the failure, but are fixing the symptoms (i.e. the complaints)
[16:27:16] sphery: I think a /lot/ of people are going to lose a lot of myth history in this upgrade because they're just messing with stuff they don't understand to get things "working" (and are just causing corruption or other issues that will surface much later)
[16:27:27] gbee: we need greater resilience, but I don't really know what that actually involves
[16:27:36] sphery: yeah
[16:27:53] gbee: and we really need to stop users screwing with their database manually
[16:27:59] sphery: +1
[16:28:07] sphery: MySQL embedded ftw!
[16:28:15] jams: well i would say drop mysql and use postgres..but doubtful that will happen =)
[16:29:12] sphery: mysql embedded has the huge advantage that it's a single-process DB (meaning that no process outside the process that's running it can access its data--well, without directly accessing the DB data files on disk, that is)
[16:29:22] gbee: embedded postgres?
[16:29:50] gbee: I gon't care what dbms is actually used, I just want it embedded, hidden from the user
[16:29:53] sphery: I'd hate to convert all the MySQL to Postgres
[16:30:20] jams: sphery- it's a pain. I started on it but got tired of correcting all the mysqlism crap
[16:30:32] gbee: sphery: which is just one reason embedded mysql makes the most sense, at least as a first step
[16:30:34] sphery: yeah, we have a lot of that
[16:30:47] jams: agreed there is alot of mysqlism
[16:31:28] sphery: Though I have to admit that http://svn.mythtv.org/trac/ticket/6060 would completely circumvent any protections provided by the embedded DB
[16:31:43] jams: at one point I even had tried using jdbc.
[16:32:44] jams: you will probably get alot of complaints from people that have a seperate parition for mysql.
[16:33:02] jams: or seperate mysql server for that fact.

[16:33:16] sphery: partition would be easy
[16:33:23] sphery: SG's could handle that
[16:33:36] jams: i suppose thats true
[16:33:38] sphery: the separate server probably isn't a problem, either--we'll need a mythdataserver type process
[16:33:50] sphery: just make it so that can run on any host, like mythjobqueue
[16:34:13] sphery: so the only "problem" will be that you'll have to install Myth stuff (libs and mythdataserver) to the host that runs mythdataserver
[16:34:29] gbee: we need to be less afraid of upsetting a minority (or even the majority) in order to make these important changes
[16:34:43] sphery: and since HDD space is /so/ valuable today, I'm sure a lot of people will complain, but I think it's for the greater good

[16:35:41] jams: just test it well. To date I have never seen an embedded mysql install go well. It will find a way to kill itself early and often.
[16:35:56] sphery: really
[16:35:59] gbee: but this is all talk, just as it was a month, 3 months, 6 months, 12 months .... 4 years ago
[16:36:01] sphery: not good news, there
[16:36:57] gbee: I won't have the time to do it for 0.23, so someone else will have to step up
[16:37:06] sphery: yeah
[16:37:41] abarbaccia: im still having some trouble with the storage groups on mythvideo. im reading commits 19976–19979 but i don't understand what needs to change.
[16:38:03] sphery: If you tried to do it, I think we'd need to have an intervention (you've done far more than your share this time around, so some of the rest of us need to get involved).
[16:38:19] jams: sphery- for #6060 i think the people that would use it, are probably already ok messing around with their db.
[16:39:24] mgisbers is now known as mgisbers_away
[16:39:33] sphery: jams: right, for now. But, once users can no longer run mysql client against their DB's someone will "help" by writing a contrib script or something that allows executing random SQL through that protocol command

[16:43:26] sphery: songer: thanks... did you get it working?
[16:43:37] johannes__: are these problems related to the backend or frontend?
[16:43:42] songer: no
[16:44:16] sphery: johannes__: it's basically a problem whose source is unknown that seems to affect new distros (i.e. Ubuntu 9.04/FC10+ and probably others)
[16:44:27] sphery: and there's no known fix or workaround at this point
[16:44:36] sphery: some people get them and some don't
[16:44:52] sphery: but danielk does, so he has a good motivation to fix them, somehow :)
[16:45:11] abarbaccia: iamlindoro: sorry to be a pain, can you help point out changes needed to be made for SG in mythvideo (if you know)? i want to test before 0.22 closes
[16:45:23] sphery: songer: did you check to see if you have the MS core web fonts installed (something like mscorettfonts)
[16:45:39] johannes__: sphery I was so excited to get mythtv finally up and running, but thanks for the info, lets hope he can fix it
[16:46:00] sphery: abarbaccia: I really don't know. I haven't configured it on my systems (since only my dev box is running trunk currently and I'm not developing on that part of myth)
[16:46:10] sphery: johannes__: what distro? Ubuntu 9.04?
[16:46:21] songer: letme check
[16:46:33] sphery: songer: can you try running mythfrontend and post the output
[16:46:39] sphery: songer: mythtv is not the binary name
[16:46:45] sphery: it's a test program
[16:46:59] abarbaccia: sphery: yes. i'm testing this one piece specifically in a VM environment i have setup for just this...
[16:46:59] johannes__: sphery the backend is 9.04 and and the client kubuntu 9.10

[16:49:39] sphery: johannes__: it exists on 0.21-fixes but is more common on trunk and it exists almost exclusively on new distros, so it could be anything from kernel/network subsystem changes to library changes (anything from glibc on up)
[16:50:47] johannes__: sphery I could try to use 8.04 for the backend, but its kernel doesnt support s2api
[16:50:52] sphery: in theory, we'll have it generally working by the time 0.22 is released, but if you could follow the commits log and if you see danielk commit any socket-related changes, you may want to upgrade/test at that version (both backend and frontend). And, if he requests feedback on the changes, any input you can give will likely help him fix it right.

[18:54:02] sphery: cityLights: yeah, the ALSA input patch is in current trunk
[18:54:21] cityLights: I also asked on the pulseaudio channel and was told that most distros these days use pulse
[18:54:31] iamlindoro: We do not.
[18:54:34] iamlindoro: And won't.
[18:54:42] cityLights: and that fedora no longer supports oss
[18:54:59] cityLights: hi iamlindoro
[18:55:01] sphery: cityLights: anything that uses ALSA drivers supports the OSS API
[18:55:04] cityLights: look I am just a user
[18:55:08] juski: if pulseaudio allowed low latency – which in turn allows audio to stay in sync with video... ;-)
[18:55:10] sphery: the API is all we use, not the OSS drivers
[18:55:22] cityLights: right
[18:55:33] sphery: API just lets us talk to the drivers and the ALSA drivers allow us to talk using either ALSA API or OSS API
[18:55:41] sphery: all you have to do is load the OSS compatiblity modules

[18:56:23] iamlindoro: cityLights: .22 is feature frozen, we will not be adding/modifying any more features or support for any more APIs
[18:56:38] ** juski smacks distcc **
[18:56:43] cityLights: so they cliam that if the program is writen in compliance to
[18:56:52] cityLights: ALSA it should all work fine
[18:57:18] sphery: cityLights: note that none of this is related to the ALSA input patch that went in
[18:57:23] juski: cityLights: story I heard was that a pulseaudio dev said there was no easy way around the problem
[18:57:31] iamlindoro: cityLights: Unless you are writing the patches to make it work, nobody wants to hear the lecture
[18:57:33] J-e-f-f-A: cityLights: sure, you'll get sound with Pulseaudio, but what good is it if it's 1/2 a second (or more?) out of sync with the video?

[18:59:25] sphery: can't find it, so I'm probably wrong
[18:59:41] cityLights: ok I just want to see if I can tell them some how to fix this
[18:59:51] Gorgen: sphery: I get that message and one about "A/V sync" or something similar.. happens when zapping between HD channels
[19:00:18] cityLights: I love your program , and use it often
[19:00:18] sphery: I'm guessing it was in a pastebin I saw from a user in here...

[19:01:04] cityLights: however mythtv and pulse can't live on the same system
[19:01:18] cityLights: thus most distro will have issues running 0.22
[19:01:23] iamlindoro: cityLights: I understand that there is a language barrier, but you need to understand that it is not appropriate to tell this channel, or any other channel, what needs improving/how it should be improved unless you are going to do the work yourself. It is very, very offensive

[19:03:43] iamlindoro: cityLights: help you with what?
[19:03:51] cityLights: solve this issue
[19:03:56] iamlindoro: what issue?
[19:03:57] sphery: Gorgen: a pastebin of the logs would be interesting, but I can't promise I'll be able to help at all
[19:04:02] cityLights: which I wrote about before
[19:04:08] kormoc: cityLights, the problem is the pulse developers know the audio sync is a issue with certain ALSA features we use that pulse doesn't do well. If we dropped the features, it'd work well with Pulse, but we won't, and thus it's a stalemate
[19:04:11] iamlindoro: which one?
[19:04:17] cityLights: I mean he does know alsa inside and out
[19:04:36] iamlindoro: he wrote a patch to allow ALSA input for framegrabbers. That has NOTHING to do with pulse.
[19:04:43] kormoc: cityLights, or you just enable ALSA OSS Emulation and continue to use OSS capturing?
[19:04:53] sphery: cityLights: explaining what issue you're having will allow people to suggest fixes or workarounds
[19:04:55] kormoc: cause you know, that does work *now* and will continue to work...
[19:05:01] gbee: "utf supprt"?? Err, we've supported UTF for years
[19:05:13] cityLights: right
[19:05:20] kormoc: sphery, he's explained it before, he was ALSA only, no oss emulation layer
[19:05:30] Gav8in: what's UTF? UTF-8?
[19:05:33] cityLights: gbee: I am reffering to the power search using only hebrew letters
[19:05:35] Gav8in: UTF-16 ?

[19:06:17] kormoc: gbee, we suspect his issue is the RTL tokens in the listings feed, but have been unable to get a raw dump of his data to search for said tokens
[19:06:46] sphery: cityLights: really, the issue you have with UTF-8 can easily be worked around by not using the power search stuff--i.e. everything works for you as long as you do not type in the title in a power search rule

[19:07:03] kormoc: gbee, and by we, I mean me
[19:07:25] sphery: and, if it is an issue, is probably not fixed by trunk's changes to utf-8 handling--it probably requires proper RTL support
[19:07:36] gbee: it's not a UTF-8 issue anyway
[19:07:41] cityLights: sphery: right all if fine as long as I dont use power search
[19:08:01] edman007: hmm, if my cable company has encrypted HD, it there any way at all that i could hook that up to mythtv? are there cable boxes that will give me an unencrypted QAM feed?
[19:08:08] ** kormoc is amused that city lights wouldn't be able to use power **
[19:08:26] kormoc: edman007, QAM, no, HDPVR, yes
[19:08:29] cityLights: but it is importent as my epg gives every chapter of californication a diffrent name
[19:08:32] iamlindoro: edman007: No. You would need to capture an analog output of the cable box. One option in the forthcoming MythTV .22 is the Hauppauge HD-PVR
[19:08:44] cityLights: so regular rules dont record the session
[19:08:55] iamlindoro: where you can capture the component outputs of the box, which will be HD
[19:10:06] edman007: iamlindoro, and that will work with linux?
[19:10:22] cityLights: so , I just wanted to drop by, see if there is anything that can help with.
[19:10:27] iamlindoro: Yes, there is a linux driver

[19:18:28] edman007: and youtube uses that

[19:25:54] juski: I still have a suspicion the problem is that qt is normalising coordinates. if it is that, working around it could be a sod
[19:26:00] Gorgen: ok, that's understandable.. so I should probably try to get hold of a proper CAM and try with that.. Is there any CAM support in mythtv?

[19:28:31] sphery: Gorgen: right, so with a proper cam it should just work (assuming you can get hardware cam for DVB-S2)

[19:39:00] J-e-f-f-A: jpabq: Especially when he blasts relevant specific web links out like machine-gun fire...  ;-)
[19:39:43] sphery: jpabq: after you switched TV providers, your chanid's changed, so all the recorded programs showed stuff like "#1021" for the channel number ("#<chanid>") rather than a pretty channel number with channel icon
[19:39:59] sphery: and really, it's just my mail client (and gossamer) that have good memories :)
[19:40:31] wagnerrp: iamlindoro: i have to let you know... graphite running in 8-bit jpeg VNC looks god awful
[19:40:34] juski: hmm according to the qt docs themselves, qrect can do some pretty weird stuff if there are negative numbers. If you wanna go negative they say, use QRectF

[19:41:58] sphery: free of charge != free
[19:42:06] sphery: is it really free?
[19:42:10] J-e-f-f-A: Yep.
[19:42:16] iamlindoro: Stallman free != normal people free
[19:42:36] J-e-f-f-A: The *server* isn't free, but the client is.
[19:42:47] J-e-f-f-A: But 'freenx' takes care of the server part... ;-)

[20:05:07] messerting: Hi, simple question: What does it mean when the log says stuff like "Program #6 not found in PAT!". Is it something unexpected or is it normal behavior?
[20:05:31] wagnerrp: messerting: it means your cablecompany has shuffled digital channels around on you
[20:05:31] sphery: J-e-f-f-A: yeah, seems (at first glance to a guy who knows nothing about audio) pretty nice. It's on sale on newegg's 24-hr sale today.
[20:05:36] wagnerrp: you need to rescan
[20:05:38] J-e-f-f-A: wagnerrp: they appear to be... I dunno... Only the 'surround' speaker outputs are labelled with additional lables, such as "Surround/Zone 3 R"
[20:06:11] messerting: wagnerrp: hm, ok, but I just started out with a fresh db, and a newly created channels.conf (from w_scan)

[20:07:23] sphery: (think Homer Simpson)
[20:07:31] J-e-f-f-A: sphery: one odd thing about it (imho anyways), is the front video input doesnt' have S-Video...
[20:07:34] sphery: though his was floor pie
[20:07:48] J-e-f-f-A: sphery: Although it's got Digital audio input... strange...

[20:48:15] juski: 4 continuous stereo sources, switch between em at the point of listening...
[20:48:34] henkpoley: iamlindoro: juski just mentioned it wanted "cat5 audio senders" .. didn't expect him to mean some (semi-pro)? audio equipment.. but that's probably because I'm not into that
[20:49:02] iamlindoro: henkpoley: Think he just meant baluns, which are consumer equipment
[20:49:03] iamlindoro: and cheap
[20:49:12] juski: electronic baluns :)
[20:49:24] juski: not only cheap, very simple to use
[20:49:57] henkpoley: Ah, non digital? Only use cat5 for the shielding properties ?
[20:50:00] wagnerrp: just converts the normal signal/ground connection into a balanced signal, suitable for use over twisted pair cabling
[20:50:08] wagnerrp: cat5 typically has no shielding
[20:50:18] cityLights: tell me , I am googling to find how to reach Alan Calvert also known as cal

[20:50:48] henkpoley: cat5 is twisted, which shields it from interference.. you are right that there is no mesh around it or something
[20:50:59] messerting: Regarding the "Full scan (tuned)" in mythtv-setup – I've got some "initial-tuning-data" (from w_scan) that lists about 14 different frequencies (all with the same symbolrate and modulation). Should I do a full scan on all those freqs?
[20:51:01] wagnerrp: it doesnt shield anything
[20:51:04] iamlindoro: cityLights: bugging patch submitters over e-mail is a quick way to make them stop submitting patches
[20:51:23] wagnerrp: both pairs are acted on by the interference in the same manner
[20:51:33] wagnerrp: and the far end just takes the differential signal between the two pairs
[20:51:35] iamlindoro: cityLights: People submit patches because it's something they want to do, they don't want to be hit up for information having *nothing* to do with their patch
[20:51:40] cityLights: ok what are my options to find a guide while I study how to work with alsa?
[20:51:46] wagnerrp: the interference cancels out, there is no shielding
[20:51:49] cityLights: I mean most of the code seems readable
[20:51:55] iamlindoro: cityLights: Read the code, that's your guide
[20:51:58] juski: common mode rejection works on the principle that any interference is likely to be induced roughly equally on both parts of the pair – so when they're subtracted at the other end the interference is nulled out
[20:52:01] wagnerrp: shielding means the interference never gets into the signal lines to begin with
[20:52:35] cityLights: o electronics – this is someting I am good at
[20:53:15] iamlindoro: why do we seem to keep collecting new dustybins and clevers?
[20:53:25] iamlindoro: and never new spherys?
[20:53:25] cityLights: twisted pair != shield

[20:55:31] iamlindoro: But seriously, bugging someone nice enough to submit a patch about ALSA to get them to teach you how to make pulseaudio work when you see not to have any expertise in how audio works period seems like a bad way to protect our patch submitters
[20:57:09] kormoc: or, he can, as I keep saying, just use ALSA OSS emulation and call it good, rather then attempting to be 'pure'
[20:57:36] iamlindoro: The headache-inducing part is he appears to want to make pulseaudio output work
[20:57:47] iamlindoro: so why is he trying to bug someone who wrote a patch for ALSA input for framegrabbers?
[20:57:57] kormoc: well, that's because of his bluetooth headset that he claims the ALSA driver for only works with pulse
[20:58:17] iamlindoro: riiiiiiiiiight
[21:00:09] kormoc: کلمات مرتبط keeps failing on win32 for some reason, any thoughts?

[21:03:34] iamlindoro: hmmm
[21:03:37] iamlindoro: weird
[21:03:56] kormoc: and even then, certain unicode farsi chars won't work in wordpad, FDFC for example

[21:40:22] henkpoley: Errors were from 23:34:40.480 to 23:34:40.665
[21:40:45] henkpoley: Hmm
[21:40:47] sphery: if that's the case, it was likely only a very short-lived connection (which wouldn't be that important overall)

[21:43:53] gbee: ok, newbie question, what card do I want for VDPAU? 9400GT's look cheap, but do they run hot? Would an 8 series be cooler?
[21:44:23] wagnerrp: do you want deinterlacing?
[21:44:33] gbee: yeah
[21:44:56] wagnerrp: then you probably want a fanless 9500GT... i have no idea about the heat output of those things
[21:45:34] gbee: didn't know there was a difference between any of them when it came to deinterlacing
[21:45:45] wagnerrp: deinterlacing is done on the shader hardware
[21:45:58] henkpoley: btw, sphery and wagnerrp thanks for being helpful today. Quite a change from what experienced before in the mythtv community
[21:46:01] wagnerrp: you need a bit of power to do 1080i deinterlacing

[21:46:45] gbee: wagnerrp: ok, just haven't had issues with deinterlacing 1080i on my 8200, but I'll take your advice all the same
[21:47:23] wagnerrp: gbee: you can do the lesser deinterlacers on an 8200
[21:47:39] wagnerrp: but you need an 9500 or better to be capable of all forms of deinterlacing
[21:47:59] sphery: henkpoley: my pleasure--especially since you gave me the info I needed to diagnose what happened in your upgrade so we could plan for it.
[21:48:02] wagnerrp: someone put up a benchmark took, and a forum database of card capability a while back

[23:20:21] sphery: Nice... http://svn.mythtv.org/trac/ticket/4978, "update to finnish icon and xmltv id grabber lookup.txt". It's about time someone finished that up.
[23:20:24] momelod: can anyone tell me how i can delete items from the recordings list when those items dont actually exist. I tried the solution described here: http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Frequently_Asked_Questions, titled: How do I remove recordings that no longer exist on disk? and that does create empty .nuv files, but i still cant delete them from the list
[23:21:17] momelod: and mythfrontend keeps outputing this error: 2009-08–25 19:20:51.679 NVP::OpenFile(): Error, couldn't read file: myth://192.168.100.1:6543/1001_20090201213000.nuv
[23:21:40] sphery: momelod: one second... I'll respond in the wiki with the proper answer (as the one there is wrong).
[23:22:02] momelod: there is an empty file owned by mythtv in the recordings directory named 1001_20090201213000.nuv
[23:22:05] momelod: thanks sphery

[23:23:15] iamlindoro: gbee, FWIW it's not much better w/ the glasses
[23:23:36] sphery: yeah, with the glasses, you vomit after the end of the episode

[23:24:35] gbee: heh, well I'll hold on to the recording until I can find a pair of glasses to see for myself
[23:24:43] sphery: gbee: if you didn't pick up the glasses before the episode originally aired, but you kept your glasses from Amityville 3D, they'll work for it. (I'm 99% positive that Amityville 3D was the last "major" work done in blue/yellow anaglyph before the Superbowl commercial/Chuck.)
[23:24:47] wagnerrp: gbee: ive got one of the Asus 8200 boards... HDMI is working fine
[23:24:59] gbee: wagnerrp: audio ?
[23:25:11] wagnerrp: s/HDMI/HDMI audio/
[23:25:18] sphery: gbee: the Amityville 3D glasshes should be in the pile around the 1983 stuff
[23:25:58] sphery: momelod: I'm taking a moment as I'm testing... Having to set up so I can delete stuff that doesn't exist.
[23:26:14] gbee: wagnerrp: ok cool, I've got an atx Asus 8200 board, looking at the matx variant of the same family for the myth box (M3N78-VM)
[23:26:18] momelod: i can test for u, if u like
[23:26:30] wagnerrp: thats the one
[23:27:02] gbee: sphery: hehe, I did have a pair in a 'junk' draw for years, but they were still thrown out years ago
[23:27:15] wagnerrp: spent a couple hours of tinker around with the asoundrc files before i just gave up, directly typed in the hardware address into mythtv
[23:27:16] gbee: wagnerrp: great, thanks
[23:27:19] wagnerrp: has worked fine since
[23:27:37] sphery: yeah, most of them use red/cyan, but for some reason Intel wanted blue/yellow... Don't know why they'd choose one versus the other, but nearly everyone uses red/cyan
[23:27:56] wagnerrp: i believe jya has update that dropdown so the correct hardware port is one of the default options
[23:28:16] wagnerrp: ALSA:plughw0,3 or something like that
[23:28:19] sphery: plughw:0,3 is only correct if your sound CODEC is wired in a very specific way
[23:28:37] sphery: i.e. audio chipset and mobo dependent

[23:28:59] wagnerrp: well gbee is looking at the exact same board i have
[23:29:00] gbee: and only if it's the first device, in my experience it's just as likely to be hw:1,3
[23:29:09] sphery: right, 0 is card 0
[23:30:10] gbee: ok, well it's card 0 on this machine, so it should be on the other

[23:34:28] wagnerrp: happy birthday, youre getting a computer!
[23:34:48] wagnerrp: crap....
[23:35:10] wagnerrp: Troy is one of those disks with mix-and-match video
[23:35:57] wagnerrp: nevermind, its the usually two files, but with another 50 or so for bonus features
[23:36:17] wagnerrp: 25GB... thats a big'un
[23:37:05] iamlindoro: heh, wagnerrp is now addicted too :)
[23:37:54] wagnerrp: iamlindoro: not for long... ive checked the list of what content is actually on HDDVD
[23:38:06] wagnerrp: and ive burned through most of what i would consider purchasing
[23:38:21] iamlindoro: yeah, I'm about done too
[23:39:08] kormoc: just buy a few billion copies of firefly/serenity so we get a new movie or two
[23:39:47] ** iamlindoro already has his copy in three formats :) **
[23:39:51] wagnerrp: is firefly on hddvd?
[23:39:55] iamlindoro: yeah
[23:39:57] iamlindoro: well no
[23:40:00] iamlindoro: Serenity is
[23:40:06] wagnerrp: well i have serenity
[23:40:08] iamlindoro: Firefly on Blu though
[23:40:20] kormoc: Mmm... High Resolution Kaylee...
[23:40:28] iamlindoro: 1080 peees of her

[23:40:52] dashcloud: iamlindoro: I heard that disc had BD+ on it- any problems with it?
[23:41:07] iamlindoro: dashcloud, Pretty much every disk released now has BD+
[23:41:18] wagnerrp: dashcloud: free BD+ decoding is very very limited
[23:41:18] iamlindoro: But Slysoft keeps plugging away and making them rippable, soooo
[23:41:32] ** iamlindoro queues up some Kaylee in MythVideo **

[23:42:30] iamlindoro: heh
[23:42:41] iamlindoro: wagnerrp, Have you done any EVO remuxing in linux?
[23:42:58] iamlindoro: does MKVMerge handle it? If so, have an example command line of what you use?
[23:43:09] iamlindoro: I have a few items that don't seek properly and a remux ought to fix them up
[23:43:36] wagnerrp: ive been using mmg (the gui) but give me a second and ill have it print out the command line
[23:44:33] iamlindoro: wagnerrp, I'm down to use the GUI I guess-- that's in linux?
[23:44:45] wagnerrp: freebsd, same difference
[23:45:17] wagnerrp: the GUI is just a wrapper around the mkvmerge command
[23:45:27] iamlindoro: ah-hah, cool
[23:45:40] iamlindoro: and it doesn't have trouble with EVO or m2ts?
[23:45:50] wagnerrp: none that ive noticed
[23:45:54] iamlindoro: neato
[23:45:56] iamlindoro: thanks

[23:50:30] iamlindoro: wagnerrp, Sounds like the latter... It's a mandatory audio track on HD-DVD
[23:50:36] wagnerrp: at least the GUI doesnt

[23:52:15] wagnerrp: and my sound card decide now was the time to stop working... i cant tell what audio track is what
[23:52:47] iamlindoro: Unfortunately, We here in MythLand are currently screwed when it comes to 8 channel tracks
[23:52:57] iamlindoro: since Myth has hardcoded assumptions of 2 or 6 channel audio

[23:55:35] sphery: er, sorry... seems it was Sr on the 8-tracks :)
[23:56:09] wagnerrp: anyway, you still want a command line example?
[23:56:47] iamlindoro: wagnerrp, Have it going right now w/ the GUI-- thanks
[23:56:58] iamlindoro: and you're right, it appears not to detect the trueHD track properly
[23:57:32] wagnerrp: its showing up for me on Batman Begins... and there was one other i cant think of off hand
[23:57:38] wagnerrp: but tsmuxer never got them
[23:58:10] iamlindoro: This progress bar is worrisome
[23:58:26] wagnerrp: how so?
