[05:13:59] | BitS: | after renaming /etc/mythtv, it started |
[05:14:31] | BitS: | the only difference is the dbport was set to 0 in the new config.xml instead of 6543 which I added in my frustration |
[05:14:44] | BitS: | I just set that back and it still seems to work |
[05:15:05] | BitS: | it also added a mediarenderer tag to the config file |

[05:36:37] | BitS: | I set DBPort in mysql.txt to 6543, |
[05:36:38] | BitS: | yes |
[05:36:51] | BitS: | I am a dumbass for using a mythtv port as the mysql port |

[06:11:12] | wagnerrp: | did you go through the setup? |
[06:11:19] | Willy: | no |
[06:11:26] | Willy: | how do i do that |
[06:11:29] | wagnerrp: | and you expect it to work? |
[06:11:39] | wagnerrp: | you do that by following the instructions |
[06:11:45] | wagnerrp: | use the documentation on the webpage |

[06:11:56] | wagnerrp: | find some specific howto for your distro |
[06:12:06] | wagnerrp: | mythtv is not something you can just step into and expect to work |
[06:12:10] | wagnerrp: | you need to read |
[06:13:44] | Willy: | ok |

[06:15:08] | Willy: | same thing |
[06:15:55] | wagnerrp: | you ran mythtv-setup? went step by step, adding your tuner card, adding a source, connecting listings data, connecting your source to an input on a card, scanning (or pulling the channels from the listings source), setting up recording directories, making sure permissions are proper on everything... |
[06:16:22] | BitS: | wagnerrp: if you care: http://cvs.mythtv.org/trac/ticket/7446 |
[06:16:31] | BitS: | my own stupid mistake |
[06:16:33] | BitS: | sort of |
[06:17:36] | BitS: | it was my mistake, but some sort of warning/error output rather than hanging indefinitely would be better :) |
[06:17:56] | wagnerrp: | it should have reported that it could not connect to the database |
[06:18:04] | Willy: | i did |
[06:18:04] | BitS: | thanks again for your help |
[06:18:05] | Willy: | i saw the capture card on it |
[06:18:12] | BitS: | yea, that would have made my life much easier |
[06:18:20] | BitS: | thats the only reason I put in a bug report |
[06:18:57] | wagnerrp: | i mean im fairly certain it prints a lack-of-db error |
[06:19:23] | wagnerrp: | and i believe it then dumps you back to the database configuration window |
[06:19:23] | BitS: | yea, if it can't connect it does |
[06:19:23] | BitS: | yea |
[06:19:24] | wagnerrp: | or at least it used to |
[06:19:24] | BitS: | I think the problem is it can connect |
[06:19:24] | BitS: | but can't actually communicate |
[06:19:29] | BitS: | it may be a mysql library error |
[06:19:32] | BitS: | or bug rather |
[06:20:09] | wagnerrp: | you could have something there |
[06:20:48] | Willy: | wagnerrp is there something more simple to use to watch tv on computer instead of mythtv |
[06:21:27] | wagnerrp: | tvtime, xawtv, mplayer, vlc, any other v4l-capable player under linux |
[06:21:33] | BitS: | I would expect it to timeout, but I left it running last night and it appeared to be in the same state when I got home this evening, so if it was planning on timing out, the time out value is set more than a little too high |
[06:21:33] | BitS: | :) |
[06:21:43] | wagnerrp: | mythtv does not exist to 'watch tv on computer' |
[06:21:53] | wagnerrp: | it exists to record tv for later, so you can watch at your leisure |
[06:21:58] | Willy: | that i can connect my cable to the card? |
[06:22:07] | wagnerrp: | and as such will be far more complicated than any of those programs |
[06:22:07] | BitS: | anyway, I've I don't get to bed and make it to work on time tomorrow my boss is going to be more than slightly ignored |

[06:24:54] | wagnerrp: | how would i know? i dont use ubuntu |
[06:25:09] | wagnerrp: | try the proper channel, or try google |

[06:35:20] | Memphisau: | hey |
[06:36:05] | Memphisau: | on my new install, my dvico fusionmce remote is basically repeating all button presses twice |
[06:36:36] | oobe: | in mythtv or irw |
[06:36:38] | jya (jya!n=avenardj@gw2.hydrix.com) has quit () | |
[06:36:54] | wagnerrp: | Memphisau: check out the lircrc man page |
[06:36:59] | Memphisau: | and if I check in irw it usually has 2–3 lines for each button press, however even if I am relatively quick on the press and get 1 line, mythtv will still act like i've pressed it twice |
[06:37:17] | wagnerrp: | there are functions to only use every so many keypresses |
[06:37:21] | wagnerrp: | to cut down on repeats |
[06:37:22] | Memphisau: | I have been reading much documentation, fiddling with the repeat and delay settings only seem to stop it working entirely for me |
[06:37:25] | oobe: | if its in mythtv check /etc/lirc/lircd.conf to see you havent repeated things |
[06:38:15] | oobe: | else check your lircrc and lower the number of repeat = |
[06:38:32] | Memphisau: | the lircd.conf only points to include another file which defines my remote; it's in /usr/share/lirc/remotes/dvico |
[06:38:57] | Memphisau: | and I already cleared that file of all other remote definitions except mine (figured that may have been doubling up on the remote) |
[06:39:23] | Wicked: | :o damn. lirc and pvr-150's on ubuntu 9.10 dont work currently |

[06:40:46] | Memphisau: | I tried tweaking the value for each key (find + replace), which actually made it stop working until I put the settings back (and restarted lircd again) |
[06:42:17] | sphery: | Memphisau: check you gap (in /etc/lircd.conf)... Try doubling it (i.e. from 125000 to 250000 or whatever--it should be around that order of magnitude) |
[06:42:31] | Wicked (Wicked!n=zero@unaffiliated/blazed) has quit () | |
[06:42:38] | sphery: | if that helps, then play around with it to find the right value |

[06:44:07] | sphery: | so try up'ing it to 400000 and see if it helps |
[06:44:20] | Memphisau: | hang on, just restarting daemons now |
[06:45:23] | Memphisau: | tried 595843, but it's still doubling up on the input |
[06:46:38] | Memphisau: | actually even when it does only have 1 line in irw, it's still sending 2 presses to mythtv frontend |
[06:47:25] | oobe: | i never use the lirc setup in mythbuntu i made my own from scratch and disabled lirc generator |
[06:47:29] | sphery: | might be that it's sending both press and release events, then |
[06:47:29] | oobe: | i have no problems |

[06:50:08] | oobe: | Memphisau, does your remote look like this http://lirc.sourceforge.net/remotes/dvico/FusionRemote.jpg |
[06:50:47] | Memphisau: | it's not that exact one |
[06:51:07] | oobe: | http://www.itee.uq.edu.au/~chrisp/Linux-DVB/DVICO/dd4-remote.PNG |
[06:51:12] | Memphisau: | it's like the one in this: http://edge101.dealsdirect.net/images/product . . . t1_18352.jpg |
[06:51:17] | Memphisau: | yeah that one |
[06:51:41] | oobe: | gee your lucky |
[06:51:45] | oobe: | i have the same remote |
[06:51:50] | oobe: | and i wrote a guide |
[06:51:53] | Memphisau: | but the receiver is a USB thing, not on the end of that 3.5" audo plug |
[06:52:12] | oobe: | oh ok |
[06:52:28] | oobe: | its the reciever that makes the difference in configuration |
[06:52:37] | oobe: | i have seen a usb reciever |
[06:52:48] | oobe: | perhaps this is why its messing up |
[06:53:06] | oobe: | i would suggest if you have the time to make your own lircd.conf using irrecord |
[06:53:12] | oobe: | and then back it up |
[06:53:21] | oobe: | so you dont need to again |

[07:15:09] | Memphisau: | ouch |

[07:17:47] | wagnerrp: | well EVERYONE over here either has a digital tv, or a tuner box (since we have no more analog) |
[07:17:59] | wagnerrp: | but broadcasters still only give the current show |
[07:18:05] | wagnerrp: | or the next couple if youre lucky |
[07:18:09] | Administrator_: | so which annena to buy? |
[07:18:20] | Memphisau: | our government(s) have kept putting the switch off for several years |
[07:18:23] | Administrator_: | antenna* |
[07:18:33] | Memphisau: | it was meant to be no more analogue by 2008, now it's 2011 or 2012 I believe |
[07:18:58] | wagnerrp: | Administrator_: antennaweb.org, tvfool.com |
[07:19:24] | wagnerrp: | we cant tell you what antenna to get, because we dont know *any* details about your particular situation |
[07:19:37] | wagnerrp: | if your house is built under the tower |
[07:19:56] | Administrator_: | tvfool.com fails |
[07:20:00] | Willy_: | hey i try no grabber |
[07:20:01] | wagnerrp: | you could probably get by with just what little reception you get from the wires leading to the nub at the back of the tv |
[07:20:08] | Willy_: | would something work like that or not? |
[07:20:19] | Administrator_: | and dont ubnderstand antennaweb |
[07:20:24] | wagnerrp: | if you are several hundred miles away from civilization, youre going to need a big tower |
[07:20:33] | Administrator_: | only lists like 3 channels for my adress |

[07:20:53] | Administrator_: | im in worcester mass |
[07:21:04] | Administrator_: | park hill rd to be exact |
[07:21:46] | wagnerrp: | so... plug it into antennaweb, and it gives you what channels you should get with different ratings of antenna |

[07:26:26] | justinh: | that is until they actually roll out digital services in your area |
[07:27:27] | justinh: | oh ffs we're getting *another* channel on freeview |
[07:28:05] | wagnerrp: | they had all that extra bandwidth after recompressing the program tables, they had to do something with it |
[07:28:18] | wagnerrp: | cant let that 50kbps go to waste when you can add another video channel in there |
[07:28:26] | Memphisau: | lol |
[07:28:51] | justinh: | no, that's gonna be for the 'HD' mux |
[07:28:57] | wagnerrp: | they say anything more about going through with that? |
[07:29:02] | ** tjcarter smacks KDE too, just because it seems like a good idea. ** | |
[07:29:25] | Memphisau: | our networks here have had the regulatory noose released somewhat (it used to be that they were only allowed a second separate channel of programming if atleast some % of the programming was in HD) |
[07:29:39] | Willy_: | ok i got the trial |
[07:29:41] | justinh: | it's actually less good to smack programs 'just because' when you've met people involved in the project |
[07:29:53] | Memphisau: | now they are allowed a second channel in SD, we've already got 1 and have a couple more from the other networks coming |
[07:30:24] | Memphisau: | this is FTA though |
[07:30:30] | tjcarter: | justinh: I don't actually know if I've met people currently involved in KDE or not, I haven't kept up =) |
[07:30:38] | justinh: | heh |
[07:30:38] | Willy_: | it didn't work |
[07:30:48] | Willy_: | still i click watch tv and nothing happen |
[07:30:48] | tjcarter: | I used to know people involved |
[07:32:08] | justinh: | maybe this 'new' channel being advertised is just a rebrand of an existing one |
[07:34:04] | Willy_: | i think i am having success |
[07:34:09] | Willy_: | man this is hard work |
[07:34:10] | justinh: | ahh yes. Viva is to replace TMF |
[07:34:23] | justinh: | hard work? you don't know the meaning of it |
[07:34:35] | Willy_: | ;-) |
[07:36:02] | Memphisau: | to physical and/or mentally exert alot of effort? |
[07:36:13] | Willy_: | wowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww |
[07:36:17] | Willy_: | i got it |
[07:36:19] | Willy_: | i see tv |
[07:36:39] | justinh: | so this 'Viva' is taking the place of TMF.. great – but the network company is offering 2 extra channel slots for when analogue is switched off. FFS they go from 6 multiplexes down to 5, slim down the bitrate of channels to make room, do away with some data services & stuff – suddenly there's room for 2 more TV channels? Grrr |
[07:37:42] | justinh: | then again with decent encoding.. watched Chuck last night & it was only about 800MiB.. no noticable motion artifacts unlike higher bitrate channels |
[07:38:03] | Willy_: | how do i change channels |
[07:38:41] | justinh: | hmmm. How do you go 'up' or 'down' channels? |
[07:38:58] | Willy_: | with the arrow? |
[07:39:21] | justinh: | have you even LOOKED at the manual yet? |
[07:39:38] | Willy_: | man i think i only got 8 an 9 |

[08:12:31] | tjcarter: | They patented this in 2002? |
[08:12:34] | tjcarter: | Fail. |
[08:12:39] | Dagmar: | I think this bullshit would stop if people were allowed to sue patentholders by finding and declaring prior art in the public domain |

[08:21:58] | tjcarter: | the patent expires in 2022 which means it was filed in 2002 which means TiVo is prior art. |
[08:22:20] | justinh: | which means tivo would have to fight it |
[08:22:34] | justinh: | tivo vs the almighty macrovision. Prace bet now! |
[08:22:37] | tjcarter: | Nope, anyone sued can cite TiVo as prior art. |
[08:23:01] | justinh: | tivo have already been sued IIRC |
[08:23:45] | tjcarter: | do they own TV Guide or something? |
[08:24:30] | justinh: | yup |
[08:24:32] | tjcarter: | Or whatever the TV listings channel was before it was bought by TV Guide |
[08:24:58] | tjcarter: | Then they're gonna claim TiVo's use of the grid stems from their channel grid on the TV listings channel |
[08:25:00] | oobe: | does anyone know if its possible to add banner art to osd.xml |
[08:25:07] | tjcarter: | and therefore is not prior art |
[08:25:08] | justinh: | oobe: nope |
[08:25:20] | justinh: | tjcarter: yup |
[08:25:26] | oobe: | ty i just tried saves me trying to force it to work |
[08:25:39] | tjcarter: | question is, did they patent the TV listings channel in the 90s? |
[08:25:51] | tjcarter: | If they didn't, that argument falls flat. |
[08:26:05] | tjcarter: | OTOH, TiVo's classic interface isn't a grid |
[08:26:10] | tjcarter: | it's a pair of lists |
[08:26:11] | justinh: | oobe: unless you meant 'possible to change the c++ code to display pointless metadata' – in which case the answer is YES |
[08:26:49] | justinh: | there are way too many cases in the OSD code now IMHO |
[08:28:28] | justinh: | so anyway, it's all just another reason we should all worry about software being seen as patentable :( |
[08:28:52] | clever: | Dagmar: america seems to think they can sue anybody over anything |
[08:29:19] | justinh: | and further muddies the water when folks argue about why mythtv doesn't allow some (potentially) illegal stuff yet so clearly violates in other areas :P |

[13:48:49] | sphery: | justinh: yeah, the "Unfortunately, the MythTV developers incorrectly use MySQL..." part is completely wrong. |
[13:48:50] | Dibblah: | "developers incorrectly use MySQL" |
[13:49:04] | ddettman: | who has he spoken to on the #mythtv-dev channel ? |
[13:49:09] | Dibblah: | Used mysql to store data which at the time it couldn't handle. |
[13:49:13] | justinh: | wonder how his fork is going |
[13:49:25] | sphery: | MythTV 0.21-fixes and before did not set the connection encoding which meant that if the MySQL server wasn't configured a specific way, data corruption resulted |
[13:49:44] | sphery: | Of course, we would have fixed it--had /anyone/ figured out what the problem was |
[13:50:21] | sphery: | but, instead, the people who were affected by the issue just did hacks like changing their DB schema and writing up wiki pages to teach others how to break their systems. |

[13:51:31] | justinh: | yeah cos there are so many OSS PVRs |
[13:51:37] | stuarta: | why is it the clueless congregate on forums? |

[13:53:33] | justinh: | the operative word being WAS |
[13:53:40] | sphery: | The only thing Myth did wrong was fail to set the connection charset |
[13:53:50] | Dibblah: | But... When you correct the "wrong" and people bitch about it because their workaround has broken the DB? |
[13:53:52] | sphery: | but no one realized that was a problem |
[13:54:07] | justinh: | problem is when people take what's in the wiki as official |
[13:54:21] | GreyFoxx: | dibbz: Users will bitch at anything :) |
[13:54:36] | Dibblah: | Even the wiki doc on the workaround (after a very short time) had a big warning on it. |
[13:54:40] | usg990a: | despite the tone of his blog, I as a gentoo user appreciate know that I could run into an issue no matter where fault is. |
[13:54:58] | GreyFoxx: | dibbz: I use to support software that we discovered a bug in, and fixed it... turns out the customer had EXPLOITED the bug to do stuff they were not suppose to do and freaked when we fixed the bug |
[13:55:08] | ** sphery should really finish the DB-charset-check-and-fix script ** | |
[13:55:08] | GreyFoxx: | They knew they were exploiting the bug |
[13:58:51] | sphery: | They must be mad. This prevents any chance of modifying data in the db by hand or via PHPMyAdmin. Where any sensible developer would just use UTF-8 everywhere, they seem to be taking a backwards step. Gah! Idiots. |

[14:07:02] | HypNoMadic: | oops sorry – stuarta – should the memory % in top never change, or can it change a bit? like from 5.5% to 5.6% is normal even if I'm not moving around or using the frontend at the moment? |
[14:07:41] | sphery: | it changes constantly |
[14:07:54] | stuarta: | abnormaly would be to continue going up |

[14:35:43] | gbee: | PG was customisable? I thought I pioneered that with metallurgy ... |
[14:35:46] | tjcarter: | (which was a total redo of the theme) |

[14:37:31] | tjcarter: | nah, when you redid it, I remember thinking the new version wasn't to my liking, but glass was lickable, so I started using that. Well, just saw PG-wide and decided it looked better than I remembered, and am now using that |

[14:51:03] | sid3windr: | and mysql with utf8 |
[14:51:03] | justinh: | python! |
[14:51:09] | sid3windr: | and perl. |
[14:51:11] | Dibblah: | QT4 migration was essentially touching most code. |
[14:51:12] | justinh: | BASIC! |
[14:51:14] | sid3windr: | shouldn't be more than 60 lines, no? |
[14:51:20] | CyberKnet: | heh |
[14:51:20] | filefreak: | FORTRAN! |
[14:51:24] | justinh: | assembler! |
[14:51:35] | filefreak: | punch cards and tape |
[14:51:37] | Dibblah: | Quite a bit of it isn't just mechanical rewrites – It's actually understood + rewritten. |
[14:51:49] | CyberKnet: | sid3windr: 20 lines if it was ported to perl |
[14:52:00] | CyberKnet: | sid3windr: unoptimized, of course. |
[14:52:11] | justinh: | Dibblah: it's actually got to the point where it's completely demoralising |
[14:52:16] | Memphisau: | our favourite kind of optimized? |
[14:52:39] | sid3windr: | CyberKnet: but 15 of those are the gpl notice, no? |
[14:52:48] | CyberKnet: | sid3windr: and the shebang... |
[14:52:50] | gbee: | if mythtv is bloated, and I'd argue it's not, it's only because we accepted every ridiculous feature patch submitted by the users |
[14:52:52] | justinh: | I mean like, not to the point where you might take a break & go back later. Like you just can't be arsed to even look at the code anymore & do the stuff you wanna do for your own benefit |
[14:52:54] | sid3windr: | :D |
[14:53:18] | Dibblah: | gbee: Exactly the problem. |
[14:53:31] | CyberKnet: | aaah man. It's sad to hear you guys talk like that. |
[14:53:36] | Memphisau: | can't people just afford the hardware to run it? |
[14:53:41] | justinh: | when have user requests ever been accepted? seriously |
[14:53:49] | Dibblah: | I was trying to diagnose why I get (on some machines) 2fps in sticky ffwd. |
[14:53:59] | gbee: | so what you're effectively saying is that in the same breath users are complaining that it's bloated and asking why X/Y aren't included? |
[14:54:17] | Dibblah: | The code is so grotesquely convoluted to cover all possible use cases. :( |
[14:54:21] | Memphisau: | well that's what's currently happening I think |
[14:54:39] | Memphisau: | but I think they just need more hardware to deal with the added features |
[14:54:45] | justinh: | Memphisau: the ratio of ideas deemed worthy of inclusion is a small figure |
[14:54:56] | justinh: | I mean VERY small |
[14:55:04] | Dibblah: | Ideas are easy. |
[14:55:10] | Memphisau: | yeah |
[14:55:13] | Dibblah: | Implementations are moderately easy. |
[14:55:21] | Dibblah: | Testing and debugging is _hard_. |
[14:55:41] | Memphisau: | yeah, and then convincing people it's good software :p |
[14:55:48] | iamlindoro: | A feature that reads the mind of one user confuses the crap out of the next-- thus the current drive to rip out settings and settle on sensible defaults. PEople can adapt. Those that can't adapt can... |

[14:58:17] | CyberKnet: | mag0o: I didn't google ... was just curious. It was the only thing I could get that made sense. |
[14:58:22] | mag0o: | heh |
[14:58:23] | Dibblah: | Right. Read this *once* only and tell me what it means: |
[14:58:25] | Dibblah: | "If enabled, then immediately after rewinding, only skip forward the same amount as skipping backwards." |

[15:00:28] | CyberKnet: | Dibblah: immediately after rewinding, don't skip forward by 30 seconds, use a smaller increment instead |

[15:18:34] | eFfeM: | Dibblah: thanks that helped |
[15:18:50] | roy_hobbs: | Are there any models that can adjust the quality of the encoding in the hardware, so I don't have to transcode on the fly? I want to have a front-end in a remote location with only ~100kB connection. And the processor in the backend isn't extremely powerful. |
[15:19:24] | justinh: | 100kbit/sec is not gonna be very good |
[15:19:34] | eFfeM: | wagnerrp: wrt your suggestions yesterday: I've moved to 0.22rc1 and that got me rolling (haven't seen video yet, but I can get into setup :-) |
[15:19:42] | wagnerrp: | kB, 800kbit/sec |
[15:19:44] | sid3windr: | they see you rollin' |
[15:19:46] | sid3windr: | they hatin' |
[15:19:52] | justinh: | looks like you need to alter your expectations of what mythtv can do |
[15:20:09] | justinh: | doubt it's 100KB/sec |
[15:20:11] | sphery: | Only analog capture cards will allow you to adjust the bitrate. Digital capture just captures whatever the broadcaster/re-broadcaster gives you. |
[15:20:17] | wagnerrp: | roy_hobbs: mythtv will currently not be capable of what you want |
[15:20:29] | sid3windr: | justinh: why not? |
[15:20:34] | roy_hobbs: | I was able to stream video pretty good up there with VLC |
[15:20:44] | sphery: | and "on the fly" changes to bitrate aren't supported by Myth |
[15:20:44] | justinh: | if you want place shifting, get one of those stupid shaped pieces of crap |
[15:20:51] | sid3windr: | at least here in Belgium 1Mbit upload is getting pretty common |
[15:20:54] | wagnerrp: | there is automated streaming with on-the-fly transcoding in mythweb through a flash player |
[15:20:54] | roy_hobbs: | 96 kbit audio and 700 video |
[15:21:03] | sid3windr: | and we're a third world country concerning internets ;/ |
[15:21:06] | wagnerrp: | but mythtv is not designed to do that on its own |
[15:21:13] | justinh: | sid3windr: try 128kb upload |
[15:21:16] | wagnerrp: | and the flash player is far from a real frontend |
[15:21:22] | sid3windr: | :) |
[15:21:31] | justinh: | oo sorry 256kb |
[15:21:55] | roy_hobbs: | wagnerrp: hmm, even if the quality from the capture card chances without myth knowing about it? |
[15:22:06] | justinh: | roy_hobbs: no |
[15:22:14] | justinh: | mythtv can't do what you want to do with it |
[15:22:32] | wagnerrp: | digital tuners and mpeg encoders, mythtv just gets what the card sends to it |
[15:22:45] | wagnerrp: | and mpeg encoders only work off pre-defined profiles |
[15:22:46] | sphery: | yay... "Weather is green!" I just may get to see that Ares 1X launch today. |
[15:23:01] | wagnerrp: | (and 700kbps is painfully low for mpeg2) |
[15:23:16] | roy_hobbs: | Well, I guess I can just use it as a pvr and use my own vlc commands for streaming. |
[15:23:23] | justinh: | sigh |
[15:23:36] | justinh: | stupid people always want placeshifting |
[15:23:44] | sphery: | roy_hobbs: that works well--since Myth is designed as a PVR ;) |
[15:24:04] | justinh: | I'd love to see placeshifting outlawed or something |
[15:24:16] | sphery: | yeah |
[15:24:33] | sphery: | roy_hobbs: might want to check out http://www.slingmedia.com/ , too |
[15:24:33] | wagnerrp: | 0.23 may have restructured recording storage, which would allow multiple files attached to a single recording |
[15:24:39] | sphery: | as it's more designed for what you want |
[15:24:49] | roy_hobbs: | sphery: that's what I want, a DIY slingbox |
[15:24:56] | justinh: | why DIY? |
[15:24:57] | wagnerrp: | from that point, you could in theory run a transcoder to add a low bitrate copy, that would be played remotely |
[15:25:09] | wagnerrp: | but its not going to work in 0.22 |
[15:25:24] | roy_hobbs: | justinh: more interesting that way |
[15:25:44] | justinh: | interesting? wtf point is it making it more 'interesting' to implement? |
[15:26:02] | justinh: | means it takes longer, more time == more money – unless you don't value your time :P |
[15:26:08] | sphery: | justinh: because who wouldn't want to pay 100x as much to get an extremely-powerful general-purpose CPU that can do real-time transcoding of high-bitrate/high-resolution video to low-bitrate/low-resolution video? |
[15:26:20] | sphery: | (OK, a bit of an exaggeration, but...) |
[15:26:37] | justinh: | and FWIW it's kind of 'cool' to have video streamed from home but jesus it looks awful |
[15:26:39] | sphery: | countdown resumed! |
[15:27:00] | justinh: | while it's watchable I wouldn't wanna see the majority of stuff that way |
[15:27:08] | sphery: | justinh: yeah, if it's not DVD quality or better, it's not worth the effort |
[15:27:18] | justinh: | like DVD vs youtube.. hmmm |
[15:27:21] | sphery: | I mean, if you want to imagine what it should look like, just read a book. |
[15:27:23] | roy_hobbs: | 100x ? all i need is the capture card |
[15:27:36] | justinh: | then there's all the electrickery costs too |
[15:27:46] | sphery: | roy_hobbs: just saying that transcoding high-bitrate/high-resolution video in real time takes a /big/ processor |
[15:27:51] | justinh: | 100 or more watts vs 15 or whatever |
[15:28:08] | justinh: | plus sling have gone to great pains to make it dead easy to set up |
[15:28:11] | justinh: | and use |
[15:28:40] | roy_hobbs: | yeah but it doesn't have a digital output that i can use to save to a harddrive too |
[15:28:44] | justinh: | but hey if you like painful commandline junk, it's your funeral. I've had enough of trying to be a voice of reason around here |
[15:29:22] | wagnerrp: | do you actually want place shifting? or do you want to watch stuff remotely on your laptop? |

[16:11:33] | gizmobay: | when mythfilldatabase runs, does it start two processes: mythfilldatabase; sh -c mythfilldatabase |
[16:11:58] | gizmobay: | when set to run through the FE |
[16:12:52] | iamlindoro: | yes |
[16:13:21] | gbee: | huh? |
[16:13:23] | iamlindoro: | onyl one if which is actually mythfilldatabase |
[16:13:32] | wagnerrp: | so whats going on with the wiki? someone doing database cleanup? someone else on the same vhost overrunning their CPU quota? |
[16:13:52] | sphery: | gizmobay: I saw your post on the list... It looks like it really ran at 3:11 and for some reason the frontend time reported is off by exactly 1 hour (DST or time zone issue?) |
[16:14:20] | gizmobay: | I wonder why it just keeps running and running |
[16:14:57] | sphery: | have you tried running it from the command line as the same user that runs mythbackend to see if it terminates normally? |
[16:15:12] | sphery: | (the master backend--not the frontend--runs mythfilldatabase) |
[16:15:14] | gizmobay: | yes, it terminates normally |
[16:15:47] | sphery: | In that case, I still think it's related to http://svn.mythtv.org/trac/ticket/7135 |
[16:15:49] | gizmobay: | probably should've said I set it through the FE |

[17:17:20] | wagnerrp: | i mean theres only so much room you can take up with code |
[17:17:44] | wagnerrp: | and you dont need/want big flashy images in your driver GUI |

[17:18:53] | wagnerrp: | at least when printer drivers are that large, they usually come with image editing software, and a bunch of other crap |
[17:19:02] | wagnerrp: | but what can you possibly provide with bluetooth? |

[17:23:22] | wagnerrp: | looks like its really only 40MB |
[17:23:35] | wagnerrp: | but comes with 32 and 64-bit, for several versions of windows |
[17:23:46] | wagnerrp: | that still seems mighty large |
[17:25:42] | Dagmar: | The issue with bluetooth is that the drivers generally contain WAY more than just the hardware driver |
[17:26:02] | Dagmar: | They usually include the entire BT stack as well as connectors for the various sub-functions like voice, printing, PIM transfer, etc |
[17:26:36] | wagnerrp: | yes, because its so much easier to rewrite an entire stack, than to just provide a driver that plugs into the existing one |
[17:26:49] | Dagmar: | You make this joke, but you do not see the reality of it |
[17:27:01] | Dagmar: | I have 4 different dongles for BT |
[17:27:09] | wagnerrp: | i can understand for the 98SE driver where there was no stack |
[17:27:12] | Dagmar: | They pretty much will eff up |
[17:27:16] | wagnerrp: | or even the XP driver where it was piss poor |
[17:27:42] | wagnerrp: | but vista and certainly 7 should have a fully functional stack |
[17:27:45] | Dagmar: | ...and whether or not they have an impulse button on them changes whether or not they do certain things. |
[17:28:02] | Dagmar: | Xp is the reason these things come with a massive collection of drivers |
[17:29:03] | Dagmar: | What little XP ships with doesn't work for crap |

[19:02:50] | wagnerrp: | do we realize that these people are just whackjobs, and games merely happened to be the thing that triggered them? |
[19:03:03] | Dibblah: | Some people need someone else to devise their entertainment. |
[19:03:08] | wagnerrp: | or do we ban all games because 'oversimulation causes violence!' |
[19:03:35] | Dibblah: | Again – the problem (with younger people) is understimulation. |
[19:03:42] | sphery: | wagnerrp: if you don't consider Soccer a violent sport, you obviously don't care about children! |

[19:04:28] | Zero-P: | How do you get a mouse to work with MythTV Setup? |
[19:04:54] | Dibblah: | You need to train it to use a remote control first. |
[19:04:55] | wagnerrp: | by using the keyboard |
[19:05:09] | iamlindoro: | by submitting numerous patches for mouse support |
[19:05:28] | wagnerrp: | (theres actually a setting in the frontend once you get mythtv running that causes the mouse cursor to be visible) |
[19:05:35] | Zero-P: | OK, so how do I get the drop-down menus to work without a mouse? |
[19:05:47] | Dibblah: | Wow. We're in a time warp. |
[19:05:48] | Zero-P: | I'm still on setup |
[19:05:51] | sphery: | Zero-P: a) make sure you're using 0.22-fixes or trunk, b) disable the setting, "Hide Mouse Cursor in MythTV", c) use it enough to realize that you'll probably be better off finding some control mechanism that doesn't require a mouse (like a remote) |
[19:05:58] | wagnerrp: | left and right arrows |
[19:06:00] | Dibblah: | Zero-P: Left / right / up / down. |

[19:07:40] | Zero-P: | OK, but I want to see the options. |
[19:07:51] | Dibblah: | The suggestion that mouse cursor is active while moving was made recently. |
[19:07:58] | Dibblah: | But it's not in trunk yet. |
[19:08:03] | wagnerrp: | do those menus actually drop down? ive never actually tried |
[19:08:05] | Dibblah: | Zero-P: Then scroll through them. |
[19:08:12] | Dibblah: | If you have a mouse, yes. |
[19:08:40] | sphery: | anyone have any ideas how 2 different processes on the same system could get different system times (not talking about localized time specs, but actual system time) |
[19:08:49] | sphery: | i.e. mythfrontend and mythbackend |
[19:08:54] | iamlindoro: | They're spinboxes, not dropdowns |
[19:08:59] | Zero-P: | Lol, if I move xchat over next to the drop-down control, I can find it blind. The mouse works. It's just hidden. |
[19:09:15] | wagnerrp: | Zero-P: thats what weve been saying |
[19:09:32] | wagnerrp: | (the option that toggles cursor visibility) |
[19:09:51] | sphery: | wagnerrp: the ones in mythtv-setup drop down because they're Qt drop downs (but you have to know how to do it and it causes/makes obvious some issues with our settings code) |
[19:10:25] | Dibblah: | sphery: Different TZ setting? |
[19:10:35] | sphery: | both reported Europe/Warsaw |
[19:10:38] | Dibblah: | ie run by different users / differing environment. |
[19:10:39] | Zero-P: | OK, so I need to run mythfrontend, enable the mouse, then run setup? |

[19:22:42] | sphery: | so I can't figure out how both frontend and backend could get Europe/Warsaw and have a different UTC offset when we just calc UTC offset by getting the number of seconds between QDateTime::currentDateTime().toUTC() and QDateTime::currentDateTime() |
[19:23:27] | sphery: | if it's different time zones, it means that the mechanism we're using to determine the time zone is broken |
[19:23:53] | sphery: | (i.e. one process was in an environment with a different time zone but we didn't detect it) |
[19:24:28] | sphery: | if they were on different hosts, it could easily be different definitions of Europe/Warsaw, but they were the same host |
[19:31:15] | gbee: | sphery: yeah but the time files are regularly updated for changes to things like summer time dates, so he could easily be running the same time zone on both but have one old version which has the +1 change on another day? |
[19:31:34] | Dagmar: | You shoudln't have to determine the time zone from userspace |
[19:31:53] | Dagmar: | gbee: That's pretty much what would have to happen |
[19:32:10] | Dagmar: | glibc should be doing the conversions for everything that wasn't written by a madman with a taste for failure |
[19:32:41] | sphery: | gbee: on the same host? |
[19:32:48] | Dagmar: | If someone started their backend, then updated to the new glibc with more recent legistative activity on DST changes without restarting things which used it, in theory it could fail |

[19:33:49] | ** gbee was going to say the same ** | |
[19:34:10] | Dagmar: | You should grab the current epoch second and explicitly pass it to both calls |
[19:34:26] | sphery: | but it persisted for the entire hour |
[19:34:37] | Dagmar: | Then their system is messed up |
[19:35:08] | sphery: | I realize that calc_utc_offset() is broken, but danielk ported it to Qt4 (using the broken/Qt3 approach) before he saw my patch for it |
[19:35:24] | gbee: | I'd not loose sleep over a system being non-functional for an hour at 2am in the morning twice a year |
[19:35:42] | sphery: | that may be the best plan, gbee |
[19:35:42] | gbee: | lose |
[19:36:17] | sphery: | Dagmar: as far as "shoudln't have to determine the time zone from userspace", patches greatly appreciated at http://svn.mythtv.org/trac/ticket/7418 . Please make it a series of patches as the changes are /far/ too invasive for a single patch. |
[19:36:20] | gbee: | at least in the UK there isn't anything worth recording at that time in the morning on a Sunday |
[19:36:21] | sphery: | :) |
[19:36:54] | Dagmar: | sphery: Considering I went through this madness for a medical web app I'll look into it |
[19:37:07] | sphery: | gbee: yeah, what really got me was that 2 different users saw it--and the /only/ effect was an inability to start mythfrontend during that one hour |
[19:37:16] | sphery: | I can't reproduce it, though |
[19:37:33] | Dagmar: | That guy's system is broken |
[19:37:35] | gbee: | vampires? |
[19:37:47] | sphery: | I just trashed my filesystem timestamps--I mean tested it on my dev box |
[19:37:52] | J-e-f-f-A: | sphery: do both have the same code to retrieve the time? |
[19:37:59] | Eviltwin: | I occasionally have an issue with scheduling in MythTV where the show appears immediately in the schedule but not in the upcoming recordings |
[19:38:08] | Eviltwin: | Or if I make a change, it's not reflected in upcoming recordings |
[19:38:13] | Eviltwin: | Seems to correct itself overnight |
[19:38:18] | Eviltwin: | I'm trying to figure out what corrects it |
[19:38:23] | sphery: | J-e-f-f-A: yeah, exactly the same--same calc_utc_offset() and same mechanism for determining time zone |
[19:38:46] | sphery: | Eviltwin: using MythWeb? |
[19:38:56] | Eviltwin: | Sometimes, yeah |
[19:39:05] | sphery: | do you see the issue with mythfrontend, too? |
[19:39:06] | Dagmar: | That dude's system _has_ to be broken or he's found some bug in At |
[19:39:08] | Dagmar: | er Qt |
[19:39:09] | J-e-f-f-A: | sphery: strange... was thinking maybe one read the hardware RTC, the other read the system RTC, I dunno... |
[19:39:12] | Eviltwin: | sphery: No |
[19:39:27] | Dagmar: | The only thing that reads the hardware RTC is hwclock |
[19:39:45] | Dagmar: | The clock the kernel uses (and everything else) is entirely software |
[19:40:12] | sphery: | Eviltwin: does it really take that long to "correct itself"? Have you tried looking 20 minutes later? |
[19:40:26] | Eviltwin: | Pretty sure I did |
[19:40:45] | sphery: | Eviltwin: I'm thinking your system just takes forever to reschedule, so you don't see changes in upcoming recordings for a while |
[19:40:45] | Eviltwin: | I didn't see the corrected version till I refreshed the next morning |
[19:40:53] | Eviltwin: | Is there a way to trigger a rescheduling? |
[19:40:58] | J-e-f-f-A: | Dagmar: yeah, That's what I thought was/should be happening... just kinda 'brainstorming'... |
[19:41:34] | Eviltwin: | I was trying to use mythbackend --resched |
[19:41:39] | Eviltwin: | Didn't seem to do anything |
[19:41:55] | Eviltwin: | --testsched and --printsched both showed the same, incomplete schedule |
[19:42:08] | sphery: | Dagmar: yeah, the hardware clock thing was my addition--only because I have no idea how a system that stores local time in the hw clock would know which occurrence of 2:00am to 3:00am it's in if the system rebooted |
[19:42:13] | sphery: | Dagmar: thoughts? |
[19:42:35] | Dagmar: | That would be exactly why system clocks are kept in UTC |

[19:42:51] | Dagmar: | You can't reliably convert from one time to another accurately using local time because of DST changce |
[19:42:57] | Dagmar: | s/changce/changes/; |
[19:43:07] | sphery: | Eviltwin: mythbackend --resched requests a reschedule, but it can take /much/ longer to run than the "mythbackend --resched" takes to run (as "mythbackend --resched" simply sends a message to the backend) |
[19:43:09] | Dagmar: | You've no idea which pass through the 2–3am hour you're on |
[19:43:16] | J-e-f-f-A: | Humm... I wonder if he's one of those users that keeps his system clock in Local time – that's possible, right? |
[19:43:33] | Dagmar: | Looking at some Qt docs it appears maybe things shuold be calling Qt::UTC |
[19:43:37] | wagnerrp: | wouldnt matter to this case |
[19:43:51] | sphery: | Dagmar: right, so if you store your local time in hw clock, then reboot after 2:00am but before 3:00am, it would be confused about whether DST is in effect? |
[19:44:19] | Dagmar: | It would have no idea which end of that change it's on, exactly. |
[19:44:42] | Dagmar: | but most notably, if you try adding 3600 seconds to the local time, you can't be sure you have the correct answer |
[19:44:57] | sphery: | but, in theory, the kernel would pick one when it reads in the time, then return unix time to libc, which would do local time conversions as requested? |
[19:45:15] | Dagmar: | Yep. This is why there's TZ |
[19:45:48] | Dagmar: | Apps are supposed to get epochtime and then convert it to local time via glibc (or some wrapper to that for the given framework) before displaying it if they're _ever_ to perform any operations on that time |
[19:46:35] | Dagmar: | The glibc calls look at TZ in the environment (then globally) and convert based on that when the appropriate function is called |
[19:47:44] | Dagmar: | Looks like 3.3 and 4.2 versions of Qt use the same functions. That's good |
[19:48:23] | Dagmar: | I'll grab the 0.22-rc and rifle through the code for an hour or two once I'm done checking out the cabling for this firewall changeover here at work |
[19:49:01] | sphery: | note that converting Myth to use UTC is a /huge/ job |
[19:50:19] | sphery: | it requires converting every timestamp/date/time in the DB as well as converting the protocol and all server/client code (including MythWeb) as well as adding in local time conversion for all UI display and ... |
[19:50:22] | Dagmar: | Oh ho! |
[19:50:23] | Dagmar: | http://lists.trolltech.com/qt-interest/2008-04/msg00223.html |
[19:50:28] | Dagmar: | Who |
[19:50:37] | Dagmar: | Whoa... Stuff is stored in the DB in local time? |
[19:50:39] | Dagmar: | OUch |
[19:51:05] | sphery: | thus one part of the reason no one wants to convert Myth to use UTC |
[19:51:11] | sphery: | big job, little benefit |
[19:51:40] | Dagmar: | Yep. Might be worth mentioning to the other devs to start using UTC for things whenever they can |
[19:51:46] | Dagmar: | s/UTC/epoch seconds/; |
[19:52:06] | Dagmar: | It's definitely easier to parse a big int than it is a datestring |
[19:52:28] | Dagmar: | ...in part because you don't have to give a damn about whether months comes first, or what the day of the week is called |
[19:52:47] | Captain_Murdoch: | mixed would be worse. don't want to have to tell my mind to convert in some cases, not convert in others, write SQL that converts one var when doing a compare/join, etc.. |
[19:52:54] | Dagmar: | The thing we used to convert date strings to UTC was several hundred lines of code full of regexps and it wasn't guaranteed to work |
[19:52:56] | wagnerrp: | do you actually have to parse the datestring though? or does it come out as some struct? |
[19:53:10] | sphery: | "That would mean, QDateTime cannot be used for DateTimes before Epoche??" -> "QDateTime can. The timezone database it uses can't." |
[19:53:21] | Captain_Murdoch: | toSTring(Qt::ISO_Date); fromSTring(Qt::ISO_Date); |
[19:53:24] | wagnerrp: | at least in python, pulling a date out of mysql returns a fully parsed class object |
[19:53:30] | Dagmar: | sphery: I don't think that's what's going on here since that guy isn't running his machine in 1969 |
[19:53:34] | sphery: | there goes my plan to take my Myth box back to 1921 on my upcoming time travel trip... |
[19:53:38] | Dagmar: | ...but it's got to be similar |
[19:53:46] | sphery: | Dagmar: yeah.. just thought it was funny :) |
[19:53:54] | Dagmar: | Negative epoch times make code go nuts sometimes |
[19:54:33] | Dagmar: | We *always* made any people's birthdays that were input, or anything that looked like it was even close to 1970 go through the converter and back out again to be verified by the user for that reason |
[19:55:28] | xris: | sphery: what about converting everything to just use unix timestamps? |
[19:55:42] | sphery: | wagnerrp: yeah, we get a QDateTime or a Q?String which we can pass to QDateTime::fromString() and let Qt handle parsing. |
[19:55:43] | xris: | store things as ints, let the client (or mysql) convert on the way out? |
[19:55:52] | Dagmar: | xris: You mean epoch time, right? |
[19:56:02] | xris: | yeah |
[19:56:16] | wagnerrp: | but what will we do 27 years from now???? |
[19:56:18] | Dagmar: | That's pretty much what I've been saying is the only way to be sure timezone conversions won't eff up |
[19:56:19] | sphery: | xris: that would be ideal--but I had other things to do for the next 10 years :) |
[19:56:30] | Dagmar: | wagnerrp: We ask the Cybertronic Overmind what to do. |
[19:56:35] | xris: | heh |
[19:56:59] | Dagmar: | That is, if the Intertubulon Mastertron hasn't already demanded we begin using Swatch beats |
[19:57:19] | wagnerrp: | can mythbrowser still use an external browser? or is it all the internal one now? |

[19:58:21] | Rigor_M: | the site it still down ? |
[19:58:26] | Rigor_M: | is* |
[19:58:28] | wagnerrp: | the site is up |
[19:58:29] | iamlindoro: | and you lose the remote navigation stuff |
[19:58:35] | sphery: | so you still want to compile support for QtWebKit (which you now /have/ to do) |
[19:58:47] | Rigor_M: | hum.. I cant go on it.. www.mythtv.org I mean |

[19:59:23] | iamlindoro: | heh |
[19:59:43] | iamlindoro: | But I can just use Hulabaloo Desktop! |
[20:00:23] | sphery: | yes, and restart lircd before and after each time, then restart all lirc clients after lircd restart |
[20:00:27] | sphery: | ??? |
[20:00:49] | wagnerrp: | eh? |
[20:00:55] | sphery: | the --release thing? |
[20:00:57] | wagnerrp: | it kills lirc? |
[20:01:14] | javatexan (javatexan!n=mia@129.62.151.110) has quit ("Leaving.") | |
[20:01:26] | sphery: | no, it requires a specific LIRC configuration that tells about button press and release events--generating them if the remote doesn't support them |
[20:02:02] | sphery: | so if you have a lircrc set up for a remote without separate press and release events, you get duplicate events in other clients |
[20:02:10] | sphery: | I think... or something... |
[20:02:55] | Eviltwin: | So is there a way to force a scheduling/rescheduling? |
[20:03:03] | Eviltwin: | Or is it something I have to wait for? |
[20:03:14] | wagnerrp: | yeah, theres a flag you can pass to mythbackend |
[20:03:26] | wagnerrp: | or you can alter a schedule, or you can just wait |
[20:03:29] | sphery: | Eviltwin: mythbackend --resched (which you've been doing) is the only way to request a resched |

[20:04:57] | sphery: | Eviltwin: but how long it takes is up to a) your system resources, b) your mysql configuration/performance, c) the number of recording rules you have, d) the number of channels and programs you have, e) the number of tuners (and virtual tuners) you have, f) system I/O, and g) how much processor time the involved processes get |
[20:05:14] | sphery: | possibly a few others I've forgotten... the moral of the story--it might take a while |
[20:05:30] | sphery: | some users have systems where reschedules take many minutes |
[20:06:04] | simonckenyon: | is it possible to drive myth complete with a remote? and if so, what is the minimum number of keys that need to be mapped? |
[20:06:15] | sphery: | I don't remember hearing of any where it takes more than 5, but (especially with the "who needs power--I'll just get a toy instead of a CPU" change) I could see it taking up to 10mins |
[20:06:20] | janneg: | 104 |

[20:07:09] | simonckenyon: | i have this really rather cute sony bd remote which is not working just ever so well |
[20:07:13] | sphery: | Eviltwin: also, the type of recording rule has an impact ("this channel" rules kill the scheduler) |
[20:07:18] | wagnerrp: | i mean even clever was running <2min scheduling on a very large lineup and an old P2 |
[20:07:20] | simonckenyon: | s/not/now/ |
[20:07:21] | sphery: | kill being a relative term |
[20:08:31] | wagnerrp: | simonckenyon: most mythtv users only use a remote |
[20:08:35] | janneg: | sphery: I can bring the scheduler down with one recording rule and 4 tuner + 16 virtuals |
[20:08:55] | ** J-e-f-f-A has no idea how long a reschedule takes on his system... ** | |
[20:09:31] | wagnerrp: | the only things you absolutely need are a 4-way and an enter/ok |
[20:09:31] | simonckenyon: | but the number of keys is mind boggling. i once did a mapping of keys vs. modes and it put me off the whole process for months |
[20:09:51] | wagnerrp: | you also should have buttons for both menu and info |
[20:10:16] | simonckenyon: | is that just mythtv or do you include video/music in that? |
[20:10:21] | Dibblah: | Menu, info, UDLR, select, exit. |
[20:10:25] | Dibblah: | That's all you need. |
[20:10:31] | J-e-f-f-A: | ESC ? |
[20:10:40] | iamlindoro: | That's "exit" |
[20:10:41] | Dibblah: | "exit" |
[20:10:45] | J-e-f-f-A: | oops! |
[20:11:12] | Dibblah: | Menu / info are annoying and it's possible to do *most* things without them. |
[20:11:12] | simonckenyon: | i will try with that and see how far i get |
[20:11:41] | Dibblah: | And there are plans to consolidate everything properly so they make sense, rather than a bit of a random split as it is currently. |
[20:11:55] | simonckenyon: | oh yes please |
[20:12:10] | eFfeM-away is now known as eFfeM | |
[20:12:11] | Dibblah: | (between info / menu) |
[20:12:36] | simonckenyon: | oh well |
[20:12:58] | Dibblah: | If you don't like the menu layout, create your own theme. |
[20:13:16] | Dibblah: | Or alter one of the three existing ones. |
[20:13:27] | sphery: | janneg: wow... That guy who's trying to do 12 physical tuners with 96 virtual tuners (after hacking the code to increase the max virtual encoders per card setting) is gonna have issues. http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/mythtv/users/402911#402911 :) |
[20:13:33] | iamlindoro: | Four now :) |
[20:13:42] | Dibblah: | SIMPLIFY!!! |
[20:13:45] | Dibblah: | REMOVE!!! |
[20:13:52] | Dibblah: | Less settings is good! :) |
[20:14:04] | simonckenyon: | it is not the menu layout that it is problem – it is all the keys: E M I O [ | ] W and god knows how many others |
[20:14:24] | J-e-f-f-A: | Dibblah: do you have one of those microwaves from a convience store with just 8 buttons for different times? ;-) |
[20:14:25] | Dibblah: | You don't _have_ to use _any_ of those? |
[20:14:44] | simonckenyon: | i agree with less settings – they are tons which i have no idea what they do and i've been using myth for several years now |
[20:15:04] | sphery: | janneg: only reason I can see for /anyone/ to have 120 tuners is if they're trying to make some kind of company that sells TV... |

[20:15:59] | sphery: | J-e-f-f-A: but recording 120 channels at once? |
[20:16:09] | J-e-f-f-A: | sphery: 120 rooms? ;-) hehehe |
[20:16:15] | sphery: | I guess if he does LiveTV for 120 rooms... |
[20:16:24] | sphery: | but still, but a few more cards... |
[20:16:32] | sphery: | and just do separate systems |
[20:16:33] | simonckenyon: | todays programme is brought to you by the words disk and bandwidth |

[20:19:29] | simonckenyon: | i will check now |
[20:19:43] | sphery: | my next question will be what kind of battery life |
[20:20:04] | sphery: | because, after all, it's not greentooth |
[20:20:38] | sphery: | there should really be a law against making software called <whatever>-ng, though |
[20:21:28] | simonckenyon: | sphery: i suppose about 30 feet. had to go out of the office and halfway down the stairs |
[20:21:35] | sphery: | nice |
[20:22:00] | sphery: | I have an ATI AIW and it's great--good range--but the problem is that button presses can get missed |
[20:22:12] | simonckenyon: | the old software just plain did not work – this does now – but only recently |
[20:22:16] | sphery: | (especially if I have people who are good antennas sitting next to me) |
[20:23:38] | simonckenyon: | i've been trying to get it to work for so long – just pleased to finally get it working – will have to go and buy some more (one per frontend) – consistency |
[20:23:43] | sphery: | my complaint about the -ng is not so much about forking as being more akin to calling USB 1.1 "Full Speed USB"--because all the faster versions since them are no longer "Full Speed" |
[20:24:02] | JJ1 (JJ1!n=jjensen@208.42.91.222) has joined #mythtv-users | |
[20:24:17] | sphery: | so, which would you like, "Full speed", "Hi-Speed" or "SuperSpeed"? |
[20:24:25] | simonckenyon: | the chap who wrote the original now points to the version on code.google.com – so not really a fork |
[20:24:30] | sphery: | if I knew nothing of the tech, I'd think full speed was the best... |
[20:25:02] | sphery: | simonckenyon: so, any ideas on battery life? |
[20:25:34] | simonckenyon: | not really – but new battaries in a couple of weeks ago – wil let you know |
[20:25:59] | simonckenyon: | it does have disconnect code in there – so maybe we might be lucky |

[20:27:00] | wagnerrp: | no |
[20:27:07] | simonckenyon: | it works with lirc – it is a daemon that prods stuff into lircd |
[20:27:08] | wagnerrp: | it interfaces with the frontend's socket interface |
[20:27:25] | wagnerrp: | or was that the wii remote? |
[20:27:42] | simonckenyon: | the code i'm using uses lirc |

[20:31:30] | RyeBrye: | Yeah the bluray remote is definitely a sweet deal... $20 for a wireless remote = win |

[20:50:45] | rwat: | am I right in thinking that mythmusic can't use an itunes back end yet or did I miss something? |
[20:50:51] | _ben: | messerting: I assume so – can see pulseaudio in the process list |
[20:50:54] | wagnerrp: | that is correct |
[20:51:04] | wagnerrp: | mythmusic is incapable of using anything but direct file access |
[20:51:21] | wagnerrp: | however they are some 3rd party helper programs that will provide itunes and upnp as a filesystem |
[20:52:48] | wagnerrp: | _ben: mythtv does not work properly with pulseaudio |
[20:52:53] | rwat: | I wonder why nobody has utilised the same stuff that helps rhythmbox and friends use it |
[20:53:08] | wagnerrp: | however that is one behavior that is not typical with the normal problems |
[20:53:14] | ** rwat is happily using mythtv with pulseaudio ** | |

[20:54:20] | wagnerrp: | rwat: mythmusic wont get updated unless someone takes the time for a rewrite (which it could stand to use), and all the devs have been busy working on other things they wanted to do |
[20:56:13] | wagnerrp: | while that stuff would be nice, mythtv is really intended to be the base of all this content, rather than pull it from some other server |
[20:56:22] | sphery: | rwat: there's no problem with pulseaudio in mythmusic--A/V sync isn't an issue there |
[20:56:32] | wagnerrp: | most people are going to be running their backend as a file server, and store their music there |
[20:56:40] | sphery: | it's just that mythmusic uses the same audio stuff that mythtv uses (where there is a problem) |
[20:56:43] | wagnerrp: | rather than stream it from some apple/windows box |
[20:56:52] | messerting: | _ben: on my laptop, that I use as an extra frontend, I run pulseaudio. There I usually start by "pulseaudio -k; pulseaudio -D; mythfrontend" |
[20:57:58] | _ben: | messerting: cheers, i'll have a play around with that |

[20:59:31] | messerting: | _ben: but for something more reliable, I'd simply uninstall pulseaudio |
[21:00:01] | _ben: | Yeah, I have no real need for it |
[21:00:21] | ** messerting just realise that I've got pulseaudio installed on my main frontend... hm ** | |
[21:00:56] | _ben: | messerting: altho that pulseaudio -k... stuff did the trick |

[21:01:14] | messerting: | _ben: good :) |
[21:02:50] | _ben: | Kinda brings me to the next issue I have. My combined front/backend shutsdown when not in action. If it powers itself up and the TV is not on I don't get audio via HDMI – I'm guessing there's not a lot I can do about this? |

[21:12:26] | wagnerrp: | what functionality? |
[21:12:52] | rwat: | what's the difference between streaming some audio-only content recorded with the mythtv backend and some music? |
[21:13:05] | iamlindoro: | myth doesn't stream music |
[21:13:15] | wagnerrp: | nothing, the backend can stream arbitrary files now, including music |
[21:13:16] | rwat: | I guess that the audio-only channels are still mpegs |
[21:13:25] | wagnerrp: | however mythmusic is not programmed to receive such streams |
[21:13:29] | rwat: | whereas music could be ogg, flac etc |
[21:13:33] | messerting: | _ben: I've got my xorg.conf here, giving true 1366x768 if that would be of interest http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/HTPC |
[21:13:39] | wagnerrp: | not is it programmed to receive any streams, besides those straight from the file system |
[21:13:41] | messerting: | but, I gotta go, see you all |

[21:14:03] | wagnerrp: | as i explained, the code isnt there |
[21:14:09] | rwat: | wagnerrp: it seems to make more sense to me to actually start from the TV end |
[21:14:42] | rwat: | and adapt it to serve music locations |
[21:14:50] | wagnerrp: | eh? |
[21:15:17] | rwat: | instead of using mythmusic as a starting point use "Watch Recordings" |
[21:15:23] | wagnerrp: | it makes more sense to start with the backend, and have the backend server music elsewhere |
[21:15:38] | wagnerrp: | which will probably end up happening with 0.23 |
[21:15:44] | gbee: | but I wouldn't want to do that ... music isn't recordings ... |
[21:15:56] | wagnerrp: | but that has absolutely nothing to do with being able to receive stuff from upnp/itunes |
[21:15:58] | rwat: | well it's only a question of what you call something |
[21:16:16] | rwat: | I'm not wedded to itunes if there's another way to get music around the house |
[21:16:33] | wagnerrp: | right now, you can use upnp |

[21:17:07] | rwat: | ahh ok |
[21:17:12] | wagnerrp: | and any upnp client in the house will be able to stream music from the backend |
[21:17:31] | rwat: | but mythtv itself doesn't have a upnp frontend? |

[21:18:52] | rwat: | the backend just needs to organise things so that each section is an album and each "program" is a track |
[21:19:05] | wagnerrp: | but the watch recordings screen is in no way conducive to listening to music |
[21:19:18] | rwat: | wagnerrp: what would you need to see there? |
[21:19:28] | gbee: | requirements for browsing music and recordings are pretty different IMHO |

[21:21:58] | wagnerrp: | C++, with Qt libraries |
[21:21:58] | _ben: | c++ i expect mostly |
[21:22:07] | rwat: | been a while since I wrote any c++ |
[21:22:13] | rwat: | mainly python these days |
[21:22:16] | wagnerrp: | the qt stuff makes it look a lot different from standard c++ |
[21:22:42] | wagnerrp: | the syntax is all the same, but there are special function calls for a LOT of stuff |
[21:23:09] | rwat: | yeah I know the sort of thing, it's like writing in a whole new language |
[21:24:18] | rwat: | ok so for now I need to export a filesystem share |
[21:24:24] | rwat: | is there a preferred type to use? |
[21:24:34] | wagnerrp: | nfs |
[21:25:06] | rwat: | I suppose that works |
[21:25:06] | wagnerrp: | anyway, mythmusic is due for a big overhaul to bring it up to the new ui |
[21:25:33] | wagnerrp: | i would expect it gets SG support at the same time, probably in time for 0.23 |
[21:25:50] | rwat: | so about this time next year then |

[21:25:57] | CyberKnet: | heh |
[21:26:06] | wagnerrp: | think early next year |
[21:26:14] | rwat: | well that would be very nice |
[21:26:34] | wagnerrp: | no one (devs included) are interested in another long cycle like 0.22 was |
[21:26:49] | rwat: | I think the devs shold just call the next release 1.0 |
[21:26:53] | wagnerrp: | but that cycle was understandable considering what all was redone |
[21:27:03] | CyberKnet: | rewrites take time |
[21:27:17] | rwat: | 0.22 is running very nicely for me ATM |
[21:27:20] | wagnerrp: | yeah, it almost was a rewrite |
[21:27:22] | rwat: | much more reliable than 0.21 |
[21:27:22] | iamlindoro: | I think someone should give me a pony and a set of concubines |
[21:27:52] | wagnerrp: | looking to start your own horseback harem? |
[21:27:58] | iamlindoro: | 1.0 means nothing, your children are likely to be old and grey before Myth gets a 1.0 |
[21:28:10] | android6011_: | ha |
[21:28:27] | iamlindoro: | the "1.0 means it's stable" is just buying in to the "version numbers mean something" BS-- they don't. |
[21:28:34] | CyberKnet: | iamlindoro: If you get those concubines and start now, yours also will be :) |
[21:29:20] | iamlindoro: | I'm willing to dies trying |

[21:30:56] | skd5aner: | Hi all |
[21:30:58] | rwat: | IME mythtv is very reliable |
[21:31:02] | Dagmar: | rwat: Because you don |
[21:31:12] | Dagmar: | rwat: Because you don't understand software version numbers. |
[21:31:14] | rwat: | maybe not easy to setup always, but then neither is apache |
[21:31:41] | rwat: | Dagmar: so enlighten me – what should happen before we see mythtv 1.0 ? |
[21:31:42] | skd5aner: | I'm sure this has been asked a ton today – but what's up with mythtv.org, seems very sporadic since yesterday, and either down or just flat unusable |
[21:31:51] | Dagmar: | rwat: No. |
[21:32:03] | Dagmar: | If you _really_ needed to know, you'd have Googled and learned by now. |
[21:32:11] | wagnerrp: | basically, 1.0 shouldnt happen until youve got enough machine intelligence that mythtv sets itself up on its own |
[21:32:24] | iamlindoro: | rwat: Nothing. Because 1.0 means nothing. |
[21:32:39] | rwat: | wagnerrp: nothing ever sets itself up |
[21:32:40] | iamlindoro: | and "if it means nothing then why not use it" is not a valid argument for using it |
[21:32:50] | Dagmar: | rwat: Try Ubuntu sometime |
[21:32:56] | J-e-f-f-A: | rwat: LMC did (according to their videos!!!) |
[21:33:15] | ** rwat has been using ubuntu since Hoary ** | |
[21:34:25] | rwat: | iamlindoro: all I'm saying is that if there's no reason to use one number more than another, how would anyone get to 1.0 if they start on 0.1 ? |
[21:34:30] | sphery: | I thought SkyNet set itself up??? |
[21:34:41] | iamlindoro: | rwat: Myth will *always* have releases of greater and lesser reliability. Going to a whole number scheme just means trading major minor cycling for major number cycling--- and without a more compelling reason than that, there's no reason to do it at all. |
[21:35:04] | Dagmar: | The numbers only have meaning relative to each other. |
[21:35:15] | Dagmar: | This is why "1.0" by itself means not a damn thing. |
[21:35:24] | iamlindoro: | rwat: Lots of closed source companies just arbitrarily declare the first public release as 1.0-- it doesn't mean anything oto*them*, either. |
[21:35:30] | sphery: | kind of like the Signal Strength numbers reported by capture cards... |
[21:36:06] | Dagmar: | iamlindoro: Yeah internally they're going by build "7100" and half the staff is saying "I'm faxing my resume otu if we actually release next week" |
[21:36:10] | Dagmar: | ;) |
[21:36:14] | iamlindoro: | heh |
[21:36:16] | wagnerrp: | winamp had no version 4, many buildings have no floor 13 |
[21:36:22] | rwat: | having a 0.x version never put me off using something, but seeing a number greater than 1 gives you at least some feeling that a lot has gone into it |
[21:36:27] | iamlindoro: | Leisure Suit Larry had no #3 |
[21:36:32] | wagnerrp: | i myself have never actually found a first floor in any building at my university |
[21:36:48] | wagnerrp: | lowest ive ever been to was the second floor |
[21:36:50] | J-e-f-f-A: | MQ had no version 2.3 -> 4.9 – jumped right to 5.0 ... |
[21:36:50] | sphery: | rwat: that's a perfect reason to keep it <1.0 |
[21:36:58] | wagnerrp: | they have a couple clean rooms down there |
[21:36:59] | iamlindoro: | rwat: Well, you know a lot has gone into Myth. Now you don't need us to call it 1.0 to give you a fuzzy feeling any more! Yay! |
[21:36:59] | Dagmar: | No one really gives a damn about this |
[21:37:06] | sphery: | rwat: it's called, "Managing expectations." |
[21:37:20] | rwat: | as a very longstanding mythtv user I think it deserves to feel bigger than a 0.22 |
[21:37:43] | rwat: | but hey it's only my opinion, I"m not going to shoot anyone over it :) |
[21:37:46] | iamlindoro: | Seriously, you need to bring a much better case than "it makes people feel better," or "it makes people feel more confident," because, and I hate to sound callous here-- we don't *care* how you feel |
[21:38:02] | iamlindoro: | Use it, like it, hate it, don't use it, it's all the same to us |
[21:38:17] | sphery: | and, if you approach it with caution, your results will likely be much better, anyway :) |
[21:38:17] | J-e-f-f-A: | "MythTV 2009?" *NOT!* |
[21:38:34] | Dagmar: | "TWO POINT OH!" |
[21:38:36] | rwat: | I"m sure you secretly like it if other people love it |
[21:38:44] | iamlindoro: | Glad you like it if you do, sorry you don't if you don't, but if a silly number is what you need to get the warm fuzzies, then we're fine if you use Sage, too |
[21:39:06] | wagnerrp: | Dagmar: at least its not 'two dot oh' |
[21:39:23] | skd5aner: | rwat: probably best to give up and drop it – some topics are just sacred in this community |
[21:39:41] | J-e-f-f-A: | Dagmar: reminds me of when VW came out with the new Beetle, and called it "Beetle 2.0" on billboards... |
[21:39:46] | rwat: | like I say it's no big deal, it just amuses me when (as has been pointed out) so much work goes into a rewrite which takes about a year, and the thing goes from 0.21 to 0.22 |
[21:39:47] | iamlindoro: | Well there come my commit messages from 6 hours ago... |
[21:40:10] | iamlindoro: | rwat: It amuses us that people think that version numbers are a metric of distance |
[21:40:27] | iamlindoro: | "How many did we come this time, guys?" "Seven. Definitely seven." |

Is there a better/different channel changing script i should be using? |
[21:41:32] | skd5aner: | if you really need a number to judge "progress" – just use release/commit #s |
[21:41:36] | J-e-f-f-A: | Wicked: I can point you to the one I use... give me a sec. |

[21:43:47] | iamlindoro: | Next time we release something we'll call it MythTV eleventy billion in honor of you |
[21:43:55] | rwat: | I'll look out for that |
[21:44:01] | iamlindoro: | see that you do |
[21:44:02] | eFfeM: | hi, i just installed mythweb from the ubuntu feed but if I go to the page I get a message about installation and the password, but ch 14 of the install doc does not mention any passwd setting for the database, what is the step I should take ? |
[21:44:25] | wagnerrp: | you should be following a mythbuntu install guide |
[21:44:26] | jams: | Wicked- are you using a really old version of ivtv? |
[21:44:33] | wagnerrp: | not anything on the mythtv website |
[21:44:42] | Wicked: | jams, i dont think so. im using the one provided in ubuntu 9.10 |
[21:44:47] | jams: | that was supposed to have been fixed some time ago |
[21:45:12] | wagnerrp: | mythbuntu may have automatically set up a database password that uses |
[21:45:22] | wagnerrp: | or, it could be using the defaults... 'mythtv:mythtv' |
[21:45:28] | J-e-f-f-A: | Wicked: take a peek at http://jartz.gotdns.com:8008/files/ivtv_audio_issue and ChanChangeDISH_1.sh and whichever fix_video*_audio.sh script I call from it... ;-) |
[21:45:39] | eFfeM: | wagnerrp: it came with a password but it needs to be set somewhere |
[21:45:49] | Wicked: | ok J-e-f-f-A thanks |
[21:46:00] | skd5aner: | Does Mark Kendall frequent the IRC channels much? If so, what's his handle? |
[21:46:14] | wagnerrp: | mythweb comes with a custom includable httpd.conf |

[21:47:58] | J-e-f-f-A: | Wicked: Adding the 'launch' of the fix_video... scripts fixed my audio issues 100%. All I see on the recording is a 1/4sec blip of it switching audio inputs, but 99.9% of the time, that's before anything relevant in the program anyways... ;-) |
[21:48:31] | eFfeM: | wagnerp, that did it, thanks alot (again :-) ) |
[21:48:52] | Wicked: | J-e-f-f-A, ok cool. im gonna try to see if i can get that working for me |
[21:51:15] | J-e-f-f-A: | Wicked: note that the v4l2-ctl that I had on my system initially (I think from a package install) didn't work – I had to d/l the ivtv tools and compile them myself – (FC8 system) – But try your installed v4l2-ctl first – if it works, no need to go through that trouble. |
[21:51:31] | Wicked: | yea |
[21:52:21] | J-e-f-f-A: | Wicked: When you switch the input to "0", the video will get a bit distorted, then back to 1, and it's clear, and the audio is perfect. I put a 2nd one in after 2 seconds for 'good measure'... ;-) |
[21:52:56] | Wicked: | ah |
[21:53:50] | J-e-f-f-A: | Wicked: And the reason I put it in a seperate script is that I didn't wait on the channel-change script to complete – and didn't want to extend my channel-change script by 3.75 seconds per channel change! ;-) |
[21:54:42] | J-e-f-f-A: | Wicked: So Myth happily starts recording from the PVR, and about 1 sec into the recording the video is distorted for 1/4 a sec, but the audio is perfect every time now. |
[21:55:24] | J-e-f-f-A: | Wicked: Before this 'fix' (workaround) – I would get 'scratchy' audio on about 30% of my recordings. |
[21:55:44] | Wicked: | yea |
[21:55:47] | Wicked: | awesome. |

[21:56:36] | J-e-f-f-A: | Wicked: I was really flustrated when all the things I found didn't help, but it was just a 'bogus' version of v4l2-ctl (or outdated I should say...) |
[21:56:48] | Wicked: | ah |
[21:57:15] | Wicked: | well i found one work aaround from the knopmyth wiki...but even with that....some recordings would be crap audio |

[22:31:04] | Dibblah: | (Basically, jump doesn't work too well in the UK – different ad timings are common) |
[22:32:04] | sphery: | Dibblah: if you have REW/FFWDSTICKY key bindings, you can just use them instead of using SEEKFFWD/REW + StickyKeys to make SEEKFFWD/REW = FFWD/REWSTICKY , right? |
[22:32:33] | Dibblah: | Yes, but the bindings by default are left / right as well. |
[22:32:44] | Dibblah: | Means having less of the remote to learn. |
[22:33:22] | sphery: | left/right are SEEKREW/FFWD, so just remap SEEKREW/FFWD in TV Playback and then map left/right to REW/FFWDSTICKY |

[22:34:54] | sphery: | so, maybe we just need "keybinding themes" so to speak |
[22:35:29] | sphery: | Josh__: do you have any channel and/or input priorities defined? if so, that's likely why |
[22:35:41] | sphery: | channel and input priorities are evi;l |
[22:35:47] | Josh__: | sphery, AFAIK, I have not set any channel or input priorities. |
[22:35:56] | Dibblah: | Or if you have "avoid conflicts between liveTV and recordings" set. |
[22:36:08] | sphery: | Josh__: and you have your digital tuner connected first? |
[22:36:14] | Dibblah: | It'll use the last tuner preferentially for live. |
[22:36:27] | sphery: | i.e. when you set up, you went into "Connect Inputs" and did the digital tuner, then did the analog tuner? |
[22:36:36] | Josh__: | Dibblah, hmm, is there a way to check for that via SQL? |

[22:37:14] | Josh__: | sphery, the STB is has the highest cardinputid, however, it shows 4th on the list? |

[22:38:01] | Josh__: | sphery, http://mythtv.pastebin.ca/1647128 |
[22:38:40] | sphery: | on that, HVR-1600 (Analog) is 6 and Set-Top Box is 7 |
[22:39:12] | Josh__: | sphery, correct. I want the Analog tuner to have priorotiy over the STB, on channels that are available on both. |
[22:39:16] | sphery: | the order mysql outputs them is irrelevant without an ORDER BY |
[22:39:31] | Josh__: | hmm. |
[22:39:32] | sphery: | select * from cardinput order by cardinputid; |
[22:39:43] | Josh__: | I thought SQL output by the primary key? |

[22:42:31] | Josh__: | Dibblah, just checed "avoid conflicts" is unchecked. |
[22:42:52] | sphery: | and you've actually tested what's being used? |
[22:42:57] | sphery: | did you test with LiveTV or recordings? |
[22:42:57] | henkpoley (henkpoley!n=henkpole@poley.xs4all.nl) has joined #mythtv-users | |
[22:43:13] | sphery: | LiveTV without avoid conflicts uses the most-preferred local tuner first |
[22:43:40] | Josh__: | sphery, I've been checking with livetv, because if livetv takes the STB, then the only channel available for recordings (without interrupting livtv) is the analog tuner. |
[22:44:17] | sphery: | are all the inputs on the same host? |
[22:44:23] | Josh__: | sphery, correct. |
[22:45:35] | sphery: | then it should be using HD-Homerun (0) first |
[22:45:48] | Josh__: | sphery, it does. |
[22:45:52] | sphery: | if you want it to use Set-Top Box first, set "avoid conflicts" |
[22:46:19] | Josh__: | sphery, I do not want livetv to use the set top box unless there is not a channel available on any other source. |
[22:46:24] | sphery: | if you want it to use something else first (for LiveTV), reconnect inputs in a different order |
[22:46:38] | Josh__: | sphery, recordings too, for that matter. |
[22:46:44] | sphery: | do you want recordings to use Set-Top Box? |
[22:47:01] | sphery: | ok, so you need to stick STB in the middle |
[22:47:05] | Josh__: | sphery, only if the channel being recorded is not available on any other input |
[22:47:25] | Josh__: | sphery, taht will put the analog tuner last? |
[22:47:52] | sphery: | because with recordings you always get the best (lowest cardinputid). With LiveTV you always get the best (lowest cardinputid) local /or/ with avoid conflicts, the last (highest cardinputid) |
[22:48:36] | sphery: | yeah, basically, delete card 5 and card 4, then recreate them and connect Set-Top Box first, then HVR-1600 (Analog) second |
[22:48:39] | stoth (stoth!n=obe2@ool-18bfe0d5.dyn.optonline.net) has left #mythtv-users () | |
[22:49:15] | sphery: | and then mark "avoid conflicts" and then it will use HVR-1600 (Analog) first for LiveTV and HD-Homerun (0) first for recordings |
[22:49:17] | Josh__: | sphery, but then recordings will use the STB first, regardless of channel. |
[22:49:41] | Josh__: | sphery, I'm trying to keep the STB free for livetv if needed. |
[22:49:47] | Josh__: | but *only* if needed |
[22:49:55] | sphery: | no, recordings will use HD-Homerun (0), then HD-Homerun (1), then HVR-1600 (Digital), then Set-Top Box (and, finally) HVR-1600 (Analog) |
[22:50:36] | sphery: | Josh__: if you want LiveTV to prefer the STB, then you've got it set up right--except check "avoid conflicts" |
[22:50:41] | Josh__: | sphery, exactly. All the channels available on HVR-1600 (analog) are also available on the Set-Top box. It'll hit the STB, find the channel, and lock that up so that none of those channels are available for livetv |
[22:51:03] | Josh__: | sphery, I don't want *anything* to prefer the stb. |
[22:51:24] | Josh__: | nothing should touch the STB unless the channel is not availble on any other input. |
[22:51:33] | sphery: | myth doesn't do that |
[22:52:15] | Josh__: | sphery, the way I've got it now *should* do that. 'avoid conflicts' unchecked. |
[22:52:31] | sphery: | basically, you have access to either end of the list for "choose this one first", but you can't say, "choose this one last" |
[22:53:28] | Josh__: | livetv starts on the HDHomerun. Channel is changed , and if the next channel tuned is availble on the HVR1600 (analog) but not availble on any of the digital tuners, it should hit the analog before the STB |
[22:53:35] | sphery: | right, without "avoid conflicts", it will use HD-Homerun (0), then HD-Homerun (1), then HVR-1600 (Digital), then HVR-1600 (Analog), then Set-Top Box for recordings and livetv |
[22:53:44] | Josh__: | sphery, but it's not. |

[22:53:53] | ** iamlindoro ets the settings on fire ** | |
[22:53:54] | sphery: | so what's it doing? |
[22:53:55] | iamlindoro: | sets |
[22:54:16] | Josh__: | sphery, hit "LiveTV", the HDHR(0) is used. |
[22:54:23] | sphery: | ok, great |
[22:54:39] | Josh__: | change channel to something availble on both the analog HVR1600 and also the STB, it's using the STB |
[22:55:23] | sphery: | ah, yeah, that's because when LiveTV switches channels automatically, it grabs the first thing it finds (for which order isn't guaranteed) |
[22:55:44] | Josh__: | sphery, oh, ew. |
[22:55:46] | sphery: | you'd need to change to the input you want and /then/ change channel |
[22:55:55] | sphery: | sorry, I was missing the crux of the problem |
[22:56:05] | sphery: | but thanks for re-re-re-explaining it so I'd get it |

[23:00:08] | sphery: | Josh__: definitely read http://www.mythtv.org/docs/mythtv-HOWTO-12.html#ss12.6 (really, all of Section 12) before doing so |
[23:00:43] | sphery: | in there, you'll learn that input priorities are not "where to record" priorities, they're "what to record" priorities |
[23:01:03] | sphery: | and there /is/ a difference--which can mean missing recordings that you really want |

[23:18:11] | sphery: | Josh__: so how much extra electricity/$ does running a fridge for your computer cost? |

[23:18:39] | sphery: | heh |
[23:20:12] | sphery: | Yeah, I'm getting all upset that I can't find an AMD 240e 45W TDP CPU available anywhere and I'll be stuck getting an AMD 240 65W TDP CPU, instead (which may or may not run at less power than the 240e)... I definitely wouldn't want to consider running another refrigerator in my house. :) |
[23:20:55] | Josh__: | sphery, funny thing is that when that case came out, noone considered the implications of running your CPU at sub-arctic temperatures. |
[23:21:18] | sphery: | heh, yeah |
[23:21:27] | Josh__: | people started getting nervous when ice began forming around their CPU area |
[23:21:46] | sphery: | it's amazing how much the focus of computing shifted in the last 5 years--from pure power to energy-efficient power |
[23:22:07] | sphery: | wow... ice + electronics don't sound like a good mix |
