[01:15:29] android6011: if right now if i said i needed a card and it had to support analog, what card would you recommend
[01:17:16] wagnerrp: PVR-150
[01:18:58] android6011: ok and what about one that does analog AND digital
[01:19:23] android6011: my bad on the caps and
[01:19:45] Dagmar: We'd talk about how it would be cool if someone invented a program that allowed people to search the entirety of the interwebs at once
[01:19:46] whoDat_: didn't i read somewhere that with .22 I can use my hdtv5500 in both HD and SD modes at once now?
[01:20:02] iamlindoro: .22 can't turn one tuner into tow, so no
[01:20:05] iamlindoro: er two
[01:20:22] whoDat_: hmm thought I read something along those lines
[01:20:47] wagnerrp: your hdtv5500 only has a digital mode
[01:20:48] whoDat_: maybe that i can set both up as two different tuners, just not record with both at the same time.
[01:20:53] iamlindoro: We haven't finished the replicator code yet
[01:20:54] wagnerrp: there is no 'HD' or 'SD'
[01:21:14] whoDat_: i meant analog/digital sorry
[01:21:42] wagnerrp: digital... we dont speak of the analog on that card
[01:21:55] iamlindoro: and even if we did, it's still just one tuner
[01:21:59] whoDat_: i use it as an analog card
[01:22:04] iamlindoro: meaning you would onyl ever be able to use one at a time
[01:23:34] whoDat_: i have it hooked straight into my time warner cable coax so had to use analog mode on it
[01:23:56] iamlindoro: erm... that doesn't make any sense
[01:23:59] wagnerrp: your time warner cable MUST provide the 'must carry' stations
[01:24:04] iamlindoro: you use digital straight off the coax
[01:24:14] wagnerrp: that would be any broadcast stations in your area
[01:24:21] whoDat_: i would only get the network stations though right?
[01:24:24] wagnerrp: and possibly more
[01:24:26] whoDat_: not scifi, etc
[01:24:30] wagnerrp: probably not
[01:24:34] iamlindoro: correct
[01:24:36] wagnerrp: but have you actually checked?
[01:24:42] whoDat_: so thats why i have it in analog mode
[01:24:50] gandalfcome (gandalfcome!n=gandalfc@mithrandir.anu.edu.au) has joined #mythtv-users
[01:24:53] iamlindoro: but using that card only for analog is like buying a BMW and only storing things in the trunk
[01:24:57] whoDat_: i checked like over 6 months ago
[01:25:03] whoDat_: it could have changed since then
[01:25:31] iamlindoro: there's no point in buying what is already an overpriced digital card to use it only for analog
[01:25:48] iamlindoro: when you could have spent 1/6th the amount on a PVR-150 that would do it ten times better
[01:25:58] whoDat_: i use firewire from my cable box for digital HD channels (but it only has the network channels unencrypted).. so if it only allows those 6 or so channels over firewire, i figured it would be those same 6 over coax using QAM

[01:26:36] wagnerrp: not at all
[01:26:41] whoDat_: iamlindoro: I already had the 5500, from when i used to use it at my apt. different situation here, but i just..already had the card.
[01:26:44] wagnerrp: those are completely independent systems
[01:27:40] whoDat_: once i get .22 installed i will play around with QAM on it then. see what i can get.
[01:28:10] whoDat_: because firewire is very unrealiable anyway
[01:28:35] whoDat_: the cable box doesnt initialize the firewire half the time
[01:29:33] wagnerrp: no need to play around, silicondust maintains lists of these things

[01:58:34] MTughan: What kind of CPU for Myth would we need to scale 640x480 MPG @ 5Mb/s up to about 720p HD?
[01:58:44] android6011: which is the better of the hvr 1600 models?
[01:58:59] MTughan: We have a 2.8GHz Celeron D ATM, wondering if that'll be sufficient.
[01:59:00] wagnerrp: the same kind of CPU that myth would need to play 640x480 natively
[01:59:26] MTughan: Doesn't require anything more powerful?
[01:59:36] wagnerrp: mythtv does no software scaling
[01:59:50] MTughan: Ah, point. How about for ffmpeg then?
[01:59:51] wagnerrp: either you do it in the video card with Xv, or you dont do it at all
[02:00:29] MTughan: What's Xv?
[02:00:37] wagnerrp: XVideo
[02:00:48] wagnerrp: X11 extension for video playback
[02:00:56] wagnerrp: mythtv is relatively worthless without it

[02:03:31] wagnerrp: eh?
[02:03:40] Dagmar: Three more years and they'll be PR rating video cards
[02:03:45] Dagmar: Just to keep all the damn numbers straight
[02:04:39] MTughan: Is there a list of supported cards per X version then?
[02:04:46] wagnerrp: around the time AMD's chips cycle back to the 7000 line?
[02:04:57] Dagmar: THere's a list of what nVidia cards support VDPAU on the wiki
[02:05:12] MTughan: Our current card is an Intel integrated.
[02:05:22] Dagmar: The "per X version" is a dead end because there will at any given time only be one version of X a sane person should be using
[02:05:43] MTughan: True, but updates don't always get pushed out.
[02:06:00] wagnerrp: im waiting for the first person to buy a radeon 7000 off ebay because they figure its the last of the modern cards to support AGP
[02:06:21] wagnerrp: 'almost as good as the radeon HD 7000'

[02:09:21] Eviltwin: I left
[02:09:26] Eviltwin: It completely disappeared

[02:13:45] android6011: kd3: how was the quality before it died?
[02:14:10] android6011: and we are talking about the same one right? http://images.amazon.com/images/G/01/electron . . . HD0-1-lg.jpg
[02:14:33] kd3: http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Hauppauge_HVR-1600
[02:14:49] kd3: fine; I've got it hooked up to a directv box and a 21" display
[02:15:13] android6011: kd3: ya ive seen the wiki but I know there are a few variants of the 1600
[02:15:23] android6011: some have red+white audio ports
[02:15:31] kd3: ya, I've got the 1199, not the one with dual-audio
[02:15:37] ** kd3 looks at his box **
[02:15:53] wagnerrp: the 1/8" jack is the vanilla version
[02:16:02] wagnerrp: dual RCA is the MCE version
[02:16:20] android6011: ok
[02:16:31] android6011: but the chipsets are same right?
[02:16:40] android6011: so quality should be good on both?

[02:22:51] android6011: mchou: the fact that i dont have one yet? lol
[02:22:56] mchou: lol
[02:23:04] android6011: mchou: I am just looking for opinions first
[02:23:08] mchou: android6011: avoid
[02:23:13] android6011: mchou: why?
[02:23:28] mchou: cause it doesnt work worth jack
[02:23:55] android6011: mchou: you get a bad one too? or have you just heard bad reports?
[02:24:07] mchou: android6011: I have MANY bad ones
[02:25:08] android6011: mchou: the mce edition or the regular one?

[02:26:28] wagnerrp: http://mythtv.beirdo.ca/ircLog/channel/1/history
[02:26:30] android6011: mchou: and what card would you recommend then? I have to have analog, and I would like it to double as a digital as well
[02:26:51] wagnerrp: currently, the 1600 is the only such card
[02:26:59] wagnerrp: so if not that, buy a digital tuner and a 150 of ebay
[02:27:13] mchou: get separate analog and digital receivers

[02:29:45] android6011: because I see on kernellabs one of the devs is fixing up the driver a bit
[02:29:57] mchou: pci bus hogging; bad reception, dropouts in recordings, you name them

[02:30:41] mchou: android6011: yup
[02:30:45] mchou: lol
[02:30:50] mchou: be my guest
[02:30:51] wagnerrp: when using digital, bad reception means no video quality
[02:31:00] wagnerrp: either you have the original lossless signal
[02:31:03] wagnerrp: or you have nothing
[02:31:08] android6011: i see
[02:31:19] android6011: well i think thats what that dev is working on is the digiral part
[02:31:21] mchou: wagnerrp: you clearly dont know what you're talking about
[02:31:22] android6011: digital*
[02:31:33] mchou: android6011: forget it man
[02:31:46] android6011: is the pvr 150 really that good?
[02:31:49] mchou: android6011: it doesnt even work right in windoze
[02:32:03] Dagmar: The PVR-150 works great for analog NTSC/PAL cable
[02:32:32] wagnerrp: its not a function of quality, but rather ease
[02:32:39] wagnerrp: you dont want to deal with the hassle of a framegrabber
[02:32:46] J-e-f-f-A: android6011: the 150 is great. I also have a 500 (dual 150 basically), 250 and 350. ;-)
[02:33:02] android6011: I just want really good analog right now
[02:33:15] wagnerrp: the PVR line (and a couple other IVTV cards) are mpeg encoders
[02:33:28] mchou: wagnerrp: If you have poor reception in digital you get dropouts in the picture. You hardly ever get no picture
[02:33:30] wagnerrp: meaning mythtv does literally nothing to the recording but copy
[02:33:55] wagnerrp: you get blocks of no data
[02:34:00] wagnerrp: which means no picture
[02:34:12] mchou: lol
[02:34:22] wagnerrp: you may only lose part of a frame, but then that part of the frame is gone until the I frame
[02:34:30] J-e-f-f-A: You get 'chirping' 'blocking', and basically un-watchable video.
[02:34:43] mchou: J-e-f-f-A is correct
[02:34:58] mchou: you get frames all right
[02:35:24] mchou: even frames that are pretty complete

[02:37:43] mchou: s/is/are
[02:38:09] wagnerrp: no, but you lose the whole macroblock
[02:39:09] wagnerrp: you get the whole block, or you get garbage, nothing
[02:39:44] mchou: no, there's error concealment
[02:39:59] android6011: the only pvr 500 i can find have non standard brackets
[02:40:00] wagnerrp: depends entirely on the playback device
[02:40:06] benklop: is there a place I can change that, or..
[02:40:51] mchou: wagnerrp: no, the point is you don't necessarily lose the whole macroblock
[02:41:35] J-e-f-f-A: android6011: People have said that Hauppauge will send you the correct bracket for free. Might be prudent to check with them before buying, but then again, it's only $39, right?  ;-)
[02:42:14] mchou: J-e-f-f-A: how much do they charge for the bracket? :)
[02:42:23] wagnerrp: as he said... free
[02:42:50] mchou: that includes shipping?
[02:43:08] android6011: $50 with shipping
[02:43:15] mchou: heh
[02:43:21] android6011: mchou: wait
[02:43:24] android6011: did u mean the bracket
[02:43:26] android6011: or card
[02:43:27] mchou: android6011: you get the point :)
[02:43:33] mchou: hahah
[02:43:54] J-e-f-f-A: I don't know – that's why I said that... (he meant the bracket android6011...)
[02:44:09] android6011: heh well the card with ghetto bracket is $50 with shipping
[02:44:17] android6011: J-e-f-f-A: where did you see if for $40?
[02:45:15] wagnerrp: there was some canadian retailer who was also selling them on their US site for that much
[02:45:23] J-e-f-f-A: android6011: on fleabay and/or online. the "HP Media Center" one, right?

[02:46:18] mchou: those work
[02:46:26] wagnerrp: if youre getting a 500, you probably want to pick up one of the daughter cards while youre at it
[02:46:32] mchou: whatever the avermedia name is
[02:46:47] mchou: I forget what's it's called
[02:47:22] wagnerrp: http://www.ivtvdriver.org/index.php/Supported_hardware
[02:47:23] J-e-f-f-A: android6011: $39, free shipping: http://cgi.ebay.com/Hauppauge-WinTV-PVR-150-M . . . em1c0d557909
[02:47:25] wagnerrp: anything on that list
[02:47:32] mchou: ahh, avermedia m179
[02:47:37] J-e-f-f-A: oh, that's a 150. oops,
[02:47:43] android6011: ya
[02:48:12] android6011: wagnerrp: do all those have hardware encoders?
[02:48:24] wagnerrp: all ivtv cards are mpeg encoders
[02:48:52] android6011: ok
[02:50:14] J-e-f-f-A: android6011: seems the prices went 'up' a little bit – 49.99 shipped seems to be the current going price for a PVR-500 with the HP bracket...
[02:50:24] android6011: ya
[02:50:43] android6011: all the avermedia ones are single tuner only right?
[02:51:14] mchou: android6011: what sources are you trying to record from?
[02:51:26] android6011: analog cable
[02:51:42] mchou: android6011: forget pve-x50s
[02:51:47] mchou: pvr*
[02:51:59] mchou: I recommend those only with svideo
[02:52:00] android6011: mchou: then what should i get
[02:52:07] J-e-f-f-A: android6011: Here's one with the 'regular' pci bracket, and the daughtercard with the 2nd tuner video ports – current auction is $26 1day 17hrs left... http://cgi.ebay.com/Hauppauge-WinTV-PVR-500-M . . . em4cebb965e3
[02:52:44] mchou: android6011: get pvr-x50 and a vcr with svideo out :)
[02:52:52] Loto: damn thoes things are cheap now
[02:53:06] mchou: avoid pvr-x50 tuners
[02:53:08] android6011: J-e-f-f-A: that does look like a good deal
[02:53:36] mchou: tuners on those things are virtual toys
[02:53:53] mchou: svideo on the other hand, perfectly fine
[02:54:00] J-e-f-f-A: android6011: $8.50 shipping, and it'll probably go up close to $50... but bid what you're willing to pay, and if you win it, so be it. ;-)
[02:54:44] ** J-e-f-f-A has only used the S-video input on his PVR-xxx cards, and is still impressed with them to this day... ;-) **
[02:55:05] mchou: J-e-f-f-A: that what I say :)
[02:56:10] mchou: android6011: where you live?

[02:57:55] mchou: android6011: who is cable provider?
[02:58:02] android6011: knology
[02:58:14] android6011: i get a few clearqam channels but thats it

[02:58:48] android6011: but where ilive is under contract so
[02:59:17] J-e-f-f-A: android6011: You could always switch to sattelite... ;-)
[02:59:18] mchou: android6011: you should see about firewire
[02:59:38] mchou: android6011: that might be better than buying pvr-x50s
[02:59:40] android6011: i dont think im "allowed" to have satellite where i live either
[02:59:46] android6011: dont ask
[02:59:49] mchou: android6011: what?

[03:00:02] kd3: you live in an apartment or a covenant-controlled community?

[03:01:54] android6011: ya
[03:01:58] android6011: its in the contract too

[03:05:14] mchou: sphery: your making android6011 sound like he's some singular case
[03:05:37] mchou: sphery: it's pretty clear to me he's not a singular case
[03:05:48] sphery: well, even though the US Supreme Court said that my homeowner's association could not prevent my installing a large antenna for the purpose of reception of OTA broadcast TV, I put my antenna in my attic because it's a lot easier than dealing with the HOA.

[03:06:46] android6011: do they daughter boards for 150 work for 500?
[03:07:27] sphery: I'm just saying that making all your neighbors (or even just the loud/annoying ones with nothing better to do than police stupid HOA/apartment rules) can make living where you live unbearable--whether you're within the bounds of the law or not.
[03:07:39] sphery: making them upset, that is
[03:07:49] J-e-f-f-A: android6011: The a/v daughterboard, yes.
[03:07:56] android6011: ok
[03:08:06] android6011: sphery: absolutely
[03:08:39] J-e-f-f-A: android6011: mostly useless for a 150, (well, does provide additional inputs, but much more useful on a PVR-500, where it gives the 2nd tuner video inputs)
[03:09:08] mchou: sphery: that's fine and dandy, but rights unexercised are rights losts

[03:09:40] mchou: sphery: how's that any different than living under the taliban?
[03:09:49] android6011: i see the pvr 500 has 2 daughter board connectors, why?
[03:10:37] sphery: I'm just picking my fights.
[03:10:41] Dagmar: Lord only knows
[03:10:48] J-e-f-f-A: android6011: One is for the 2nd inputs for tuner #1 (useless IMHO), and the 2nd set is for the video inputs for the 2nd tuner.
[03:11:01] Dagmar: One of htem is for the second backplane piece htat has the second svideo and composite inputs
[03:11:35] android6011: ok
[03:11:42] mchou: sphery: I'm sure that's what a lot of people in the afghan villages said when the taliban started taking over

[04:27:52] sphery: why would you need to start a media player at a specific time?
[04:27:53] ** wagnerrp tries to think of a scenario where one might want to run mplayer through cron **

[04:28:19] sphery: ah... can be done
[04:29:05] sphery: funny thing is I maintain a Myth box for some friends and I put a 'net radio script on there and for a while he did exactly that (but I still didn't think of that reason)
[04:29:37] wagnerrp: just make sure you set DISPLAY properly, and have the necessary X authentication
[04:29:38] sphery: It works fine--just have to set it up right. I'm assuming you want to start music, so the easiest approach is to start mplayer in an environment with no DISPLAY
[04:30:05] sphery: if there's no DISPLAY, it doesn't need X authority
[04:30:05] redparchel: and if i wanted to start video?
[04:30:27] wagnerrp: then you need those two things
[04:30:31] redparchel: kk
[04:30:32] sphery: then it's more complex--have to set the environment for DISPLAY and X auth--which is what wagnerrp said
[04:30:43] sphery: (2x before I said it :)
[04:31:06] redparchel: ahhh i see it now!
[04:31:09] sphery: So, I'm guessing your video alarm clock is of a sunrise, right?
[04:31:22] redparchel: right
[04:31:33] sphery: you could sell that thing--project it onto a nice wall in the bedroom :)
[04:31:52] sphery: get a USB projector for a Chumby and wow...
[04:32:10] wagnerrp: need some heat lamps
[04:32:16] sphery: oh, yeah.
[04:32:31] sphery: and, while you're at it, might as well do some of those fluorescent tubes from a tanning bed
[04:32:43] redparchel: hahaha

[04:35:55] wagnerrp: my sister has a alarm clock/lamp that does something very similar
[04:36:08] wagnerrp: just a bit array of white LEDs
[04:36:27] sphery: wow... some people are /way/ too into alarm clocks: http://www.blogcatalog.com/blog/alarm-clock-blog
[04:37:21] wagnerrp: i could stand to get one of those that you stick under your bed, and it starts punching you

[04:47:21] Dagmar: You won't sleep through the vibrator under your mattress.
[04:47:29] Dagmar: That thing was making me wake up swingin
[04:48:22] wagnerrp: the only thing i remember that consistently woke me up was when i had my bed lofted, with my desk underneath and rather large speakers attached to the posts
[04:48:37] wagnerrp: if i forgot to turn off the subs, i was INSTANTLY up
[04:48:49] Dagmar: That's pretty much how that vibrator works
[04:48:51] wagnerrp: although i was also usually hit by something thrown by my roommate
[04:49:00] Dagmar: If you have box springs, the whole thing starts to resonate
[04:49:28] Dagmar: Plus you can change the pitch of the audible alarm so you don't wind up sleeping through something you're used to hearing
[04:50:30] wagnerrp: when shows play a beatles song, why cant they just play the beatles song?
[04:50:35] wagnerrp: why do they have to play a crappy cover

[05:38:53] Dagmar: I don't think it would ever be a good idea to rescan just for entering the inventory screen

[10:44:04] janneg: eFfeM: no idea, I'm just a mythweb user and no php developer
[10:46:39] simonckenyon: i just set the timezone once for the OS and then it all just worked
[10:47:38] justinh: that's how it should be
[10:47:39] Dibblah: Yeah. Modifying php.ini seems... Unnecessary.
[10:47:54] ** justinh smacks ubuntu over the head repeatedly **
[10:50:45] eFfeM: Dibblah: php has its own notion of timezones and dst etc. there is a var in php.ini called date.timezone; various google posts point to that
[10:51:03] Dibblah: Yes. Never found it necessary.
[10:51:15] Dibblah: So it seems likely that hacking there is incorrect.
[10:51:23] eFfeM: simonckenyon: the time I get under linux is correct
[10:51:32] Dibblah: ... Running as what user?
[10:51:40] eFfeM: Dibblah: without modding php.ini it was also wrong
[10:51:57] Dibblah: There are two users involved in the Myth side – mythtv and the web server user (http, etc)
[10:52:16] eFfeM: dibblah, i am running a remote backend; the time on the backend is correct; the time on the system on which i run the browser is also ok
[10:52:34] Dibblah: "time" is variable.
[10:52:47] Dibblah: The offset is in the TZ environment variable.
[10:53:03] Dibblah: Again, hacking around in the php.ini is incorrect.
[10:53:10] Dibblah: Myth handles (ish) DST.
[10:53:27] Dibblah: If you are getting incorrect times, fix it at the source.
[10:53:55] eFfeM: ok, will look at TZ actually it is not set, but date gives me the correct time

[10:54:38] eFfeM: Dibblah: thought php.ini was the solution several solutions in myth fora point to it
[10:54:50] simonckenyon: that is what i have here also – correct time and no TZ var set
[10:55:04] simonckenyon: i do have a correct /etc/localtime
[10:55:20] eFfeM: simonckenyon: what timezone are you in? I am in CET, /etc/localtime is ok here too
[10:55:34] simonckenyon: i am in GMT
[10:56:12] eFfeM: simonckenyon: ah, but GMT is easy, I have GMT time too (but I am in CET)
[10:56:24] eFfeM: no need for offsetting for GMT
[10:56:28] Dibblah: You have CET time.
[10:56:33] eFfeM: yes
[10:56:36] Dibblah: Which is one hour ahead of GMT.
[10:56:54] eFfeM: yes and the time in mythweb is one hour too early so GMT
[10:56:58] eFfeM: date says: Fri Oct 30 11:56:37 CET 2009
[10:57:54] Dibblah: Again. Myth and mythweb handle DST correctly, as long as the OS is not misconfigured.
[10:57:57] simonckenyon: you have restarted apache each time you've made a change?
[10:58:04] eFfeM: mythweb says 10.57
[10:58:14] eFfeM: simonckenyon: yes
[10:58:22] Dibblah: Hacking around in random configuration files which are not /etc/timezone is not the right way to do it.
[10:58:34] eFfeM: Dibblah: you already told that
[10:58:40] Dibblah: /etc/localtime, even.
[10:59:07] Dibblah: Try running mythfilldatabase.
[11:00:44] Thomas- (Thomas-!i=tomas@krixor.xy.org) has quit ("hardware changes")
[11:00:53] eFfeM: Dibblah: filling the database again will not help, the database is ok, the backend is ok and record at the right time, the schedules are there etc. it is the time in the web page that is off.
[11:01:08] eFfeM: Dibblah: this http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/MythWeb#Time_Stamp_is_off_by_an_hour came up with the php.ini suggestion
[11:01:48] eFfeM: yeah, I know it is a wiki but it is on mythtv.org so it has some authority for me and this one definitely talks about php.ini

[11:02:17] eFfeM: see also the remark that php has its own timezone info
[11:02:57] eFfeM: i do *NOT* consider editing php.ini according to the instructions in the wiki as "hacking random configuration files" ....
[11:04:16] Dibblah: Instructions in the wiki are written by random people and audited very, very seldom.
[11:04:54] Dibblah: CET does not have the issue described by that section.
[11:05:01] eFfeM: i know, but it is better than nothing and since it is the mythtv.org wiki i would give it some credit

[15:19:19] benklop: hmm.. somehow my database contains records for current recordings for every show recorded november 23–24 2006.. those shows are long LONG gone
[15:19:35] wagnerrp: oldrecorded
[15:19:44] wagnerrp: keeps a record of every show you have ever recorded
[15:19:49] wagnerrp: so it knows not to record it again
[15:20:12] benklop: no, these are in recorded
[15:20:40] wagnerrp: then you have orphaned recordings, there is a script in contrib to clean those up
[15:21:01] benklop: yeah.. a few of them are messing up jamu
[15:21:51] benklop: it doesn't know what to do with the accented e in pokemon, although i'm sure _I_ never recorded that....
[15:22:01] benklop: and so jamu crashes
[15:22:07] iamlindoro: jamu is fine with that accent
[15:22:11] iamlindoro: read the jamu page
[15:22:15] iamlindoro: your locale is broken
[15:22:20] wagnerrp: you need to set up 'LANG'
[15:22:32] wagnerrp: yes... UTF is a bitch
[15:22:33] benklop: either that or the database is wrong
[15:22:51] wagnerrp: its what iamlindoro said, do that
[15:23:01] wagnerrp: if youre still having problems, then we can try to diagnose
[15:23:06] benklop: since I had some partial corruption thing..
[15:23:29] benklop: ok, i don't think it'll be an issue after i get rid of these orphans though
[15:23:43] iamlindoro: it'll be an issue in the future-- you need to fix your core problem
[15:23:44] wagnerrp: if the database is wrong, JAMU just wont find any images for the recording and will continue silently
[15:24:13] wagnerrp: the fact that it crashed means either your environment is wrong, or there is something to fix in JAMU
[15:24:14] RDV_Linux: benklop: see http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Jamu#This_stupid_t . . . _not_work.21 #5
[15:24:35] wagnerrp: crashes are bad, and must always be fixed
[15:24:45] benklop: alright.. just FYI the exact error is UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode character u'\xe9' in position 26: ordinal not in range(128)
[15:24:58] iamlindoro: Yes, that's the "user hasn't read the wiki page" error
[15:25:12] wagnerrp: PEBKAC
[15:25:14] benklop: lol, oki read it... just decided to see what it would do out of the box first
[15:25:31] benklop: and perhaps not the whole thing
[15:25:51] RDV_Linux: benklop: Do the locale environment fix then retry. If Jamu still crashes then report back in this channel.
[15:26:14] benklop: ok. still, it made me aware of an orphan problem
[15:26:49] RDV_Linux: benklop: Fixing the orphans will cut down on unnecessary downloads.
[15:27:48] eFfeM: for all those who were bothered with my timezone problem: I found the cause. apparently mythweb looks at /etc/timezone before looking at /etc/localtime and /etc/timezone had wrong info; removing /etc/timezone did not help; mythweb caches and the test to update the cache daily is wrong
[15:27:57] eFfeM: after fixing that my time is ok :-)

[15:49:40] benklop: wagnerrp: and i might. I've yet to look at the other themes though

[15:55:09] benklop: what do you mean?
[15:55:17] justinh: changing backgrounds like that is way too jarring
[15:55:34] benklop: yeah.. that was my thought too
[15:56:07] benklop: iamlindoro: i'll put it on my list of patches to make... i'm gonna have to take a weekend and look into the code eventually here
[15:56:12] benklop: :-P
[15:56:19] justinh: heh, good luck with that
[15:56:29] wagnerrp: its very likely already on someone elses (long) list
[15:56:37] wagnerrp: but if you get it out first, more power to you
[15:56:42] wagnerrp: im sure the other person wont mind
[15:56:49] benklop: well I at least am familiar with Qt 4, so that should help..
[15:57:05] benklop: but I don't actually know anything about how to program Qt to fade an image in or out
[15:57:06] justinh: nope
[15:57:15] benklop: lol, why not?
[15:57:21] justinh: and there is no inbuilt class to fade images in & out
[15:57:23] iamlindoro: because myth's UI code is home grown, not Qt
[15:58:07] justinh: it just happens to use some qt image classes
[15:58:31] benklop: well so if Qt's image classes can be made to fade, then mythUI can fade right?
[15:58:52] justinh: nope
[15:59:03] benklop: lol, you're full of positive answers today
[15:59:09] wagnerrp: nope
[15:59:09] justinh: qt4.5 doesn't have any means to do it
[15:59:57] justinh: it'll also mean a major change to the UI code
[15:59:58] iamlindoro: it's not a matter of positive or negative answers-- it's statements of fact
[15:59:59] benklop: yeah, but that doesn't mean it's impossible to subclass QImage to QFadeImage and implement it there...
[16:00:23] wagnerrp: http://gizmodo.com/5372927/friday-is-the-perf . . . -office-riot
[16:00:30] justinh: it'll have to be threaded too
[16:00:38] justinh: unless you want users to be happy to wait
[16:00:39] benklop: does mythUI just change the image in a single QImage on each change, or does it create and destroy a QImage every time?
[16:00:49] iamlindoro: If you want to contribute to Myth UI code — and by all means, please do, it would be great to have more people working on it-- that means taking a careful learning look at MythUI
[16:00:53] justinh: the latter I think
[16:03:05] justinh: oops more likely to be the first out of those

[16:08:41] justinh: it'd have to be timed & threaded
[16:09:00] justinh: so the user doesn't have to wait for the transition to finish
[16:09:35] justinh: and AFAIK there's no QFadingImage in 4.5
[16:09:53] benklop: no, there isn't
[16:10:06] benklop: I just made tat name up as it seemed fitting
[16:10:08] justinh: 4.6 has loads of inbuilt animation classes
[16:10:16] justinh: no point reinventing the wheel
[16:10:38] benklop: but since 4.6 isn't out, can't really depend on it
[16:10:56] justinh: sigh
[16:11:10] justinh: so we get stuck with another shoehorned in feature
[16:11:57] justinh: it'll be out by the end of the year they say, and distros shouldn't be far behind that I'd hope
[16:13:03] benklop: yeah..
[16:13:20] benklop: on the other hand you could use the alphablending feature of QImage.. fade to black on each one
[16:13:54] justinh: fade to transparent
[16:14:07] justinh: and fade the other image's opacity up
[16:14:22] justinh: or have a choice
[16:14:29] justinh: fade to $colour
[16:14:37] justinh: make it themable
[16:16:56] justinh: maybe make the transition class more universal, not just applying to images – everything in mythui instead
[16:17:14] iamlindoro: It would likely have to be
[16:17:14] justinh: since every element can have alpha :)
[16:17:24] benklop: that's true
[16:17:24] iamlindoro: remember the "everything belongs in the painters" debacle of '08
[16:17:59] benklop: is there a link? I wasn't paying attention most of that year
[16:18:13] justinh: and rather than the 'amount' based xfades of screenstack, have a fade *timed*
[16:18:16] iamlindoro: No, it's nothing that went on anywehre on a list or logged
[16:18:24] justinh: so it'll take 50msec or whatever
[16:18:51] justinh: not 100 x 1% alpha changes at $speed-of-your-box
[16:19:30] justinh: so much of the original mythui stuff is hard-wired it hurts
[16:19:57] Dibblah: Less than the original UI ;)
[16:20:34] justinh: nope. screenstack transitions. you have them with gl, or don't have them with qt. :-(

[16:24:20] iamlindoro: yep
[16:24:25] justinh: that'd lessen the jarring effect – not changing it immediately when flicking through
[16:25:14] justinh: might not be too hard to put a timed alpha fade on any of the UI components
[16:25:32] justinh: look at alphapulse, e.g.
[16:25:44] justinh: xfading.. harder
[16:25:49] benklop: fading from one image to the next would be a little harde tho
[16:26:38] justinh: though you could always eat up a bit more RAM having lastimage=currentimage; loadnextimage; fadeOUTlastimage; fadeINnextimage
[16:26:40] benklop: i assume that's what you meant
[16:27:00] justinh: yeah
[16:27:17] justinh: where fadeOUT and fadeIN reduce & increase alpha respectively

[16:28:48] justinh: fading out, then fading in separately would still be better than a jump though

[16:29:21] benklop: not sure how mythUI is on that..
[16:29:22] justinh: but ffs put it on a <speed> tag, not <delay> and <amount> tag

[16:31:10] quicksilver: if you give it a total time (i.e. allow 1 second for effect)
[16:31:11] justinh: i.e. slow down something like a movement as it gets to the finish point

[16:31:24] quicksilver: (or as few as it allows)
[16:31:31] justinh: yeah exactly
[16:31:32] quicksilver: and always run at the same speed.
[16:31:39] quicksilver: (in one sense of the word 'speed')
[16:31:47] justinh: rather than saying 255 iterations of 1 unit change

[17:08:08] benklop: it's finding the right info but putting it in the wrong place
[17:08:27] iamlindoro: sounds like broken database
[17:08:44] benklop: all these videos are new in the database
[17:08:56] iamlindoro: or possibly a very out of date copy of bindings, I suppose
[17:08:56] RDV_Linux: benklop: I have never seen that one nor has anyone ever reported such an issue.
[17:10:43] benklop: RDV_Linux: okay, well, i'd like to just wipe the mythvideo portion of my database and try again...

[17:14:01] RDV_Linux: benklop: You can just configure MythVideo (SG's or FE video dir) to point to a dir with no videos and then rescan in MythVideo.
[17:14:05] elmojo: iamlindoro: interesting thread here...http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.video.ffmpeg.devel/97440

[17:15:39] RDV_Linux: benklop: After rescanning change your SG or FE video settings back and go to it.
[17:15:47] iamlindoro: elmojo: Have been following, we should pick it up in the next sync
[17:16:12] iamlindoro: elmojo: AFAICT it should be transparent as far as myth is concerned
[17:16:29] elmojo: yep, it will be nice for us using spdif
[17:16:48] iamlindoro: elmojo: Well... you know that not all TrueHD is muxed w/ AC3, right?
[17:16:53] iamlindoro: in fact, almost none of it is
[17:17:05] iamlindoro: There are about a half dozen Blu rays out there that do that
[17:17:11] elmojo: true, but AC3 is required for Bluray, right?
[17:17:35] iamlindoro: At least a stereo track, sure-- but the above patch doesn't really pertain to that
[17:17:41] elmojo: it's the only mandatory audio codec
[17:18:03] iamlindoro: it just allows playbackof those couple of blu rays that use the bizarre THD/AC3 combined mux
[17:18:19] elmojo: heh, yes I guess they could create a Bluray with a "poor" AC3 track
[17:18:24] iamlindoro: for a long, long time there was only one Blu ray that did it, but the number that does is still ~ a half dozen
[17:19:08] elmojo: sure, but I usually like solutions to work for "everything" :0
[17:19:30] iamlindoro: As do I
[17:19:49] iamlindoro: just wasn't quite sure about the "us using spdif" comment, wanted to make sure you didn't think they all did that

[17:39:41] wagnerrp: you may have had bad characters left over in the database (due to using gentoo/latin-1 mysql), and jamu was using the database record rather than the filename

[17:41:15] sphery: MTughan: Good. I think you'll like it much better than the PVR-350 TV out--you get a /lot/ more capability. And, the higher resolution is extremely useful (and square pixels--once you get the resolution set up).

[17:43:19] wagnerrp: MTughan: youre no longer restricted to what the 350 framebuffer supports
[17:43:20] MTughan: Er, dpkg-reconfigure.
[17:44:07] wagnerrp: namely, support for higher resultions, better painters, and the ability to play back HD content
[17:45:05] MTughan: Well, we'll need a different tuner for HD content first. ;)
[17:46:11] sphery: MTughan: OpenGL painter (which is required for some themes), ffwd > 3x, resolution > 720x480, ability to play back any kind of video your system can decode (I think even if you use PVR-350 TV out Xv support, the scaling is /very/ limited, so high-def stuff doesn't work)
[17:46:18] sphery: and many more
[17:46:55] sphery: basically, the PVR-350 TV out is unloved and bitrotting (because the hardware is far less capable than any video card you can buy today)

[17:52:33] wagnerrp: why cant the phoneco just tell me their schedule for my street...
[17:52:46] eFfeM: btw is ther an easy way to delete things from the recording scheme ?
[17:52:51] wagnerrp: im just a couple blocks from the DSLAM and want my precious fiber
[17:52:59] wagnerrp: 'd'
[17:53:07] wagnerrp: or 'm' --> delete
[17:53:17] eFfeM: wagnerrp: they want to let you feel that they are in charge ; monopoly ....
[17:53:34] benklop: is there a way to make mythtv NOT suspend pulseaudio?
[17:53:42] wagnerrp: apparently theyre hitting apartment buildings and complexes first
[17:53:55] eFfeM: yup, larger volume = more revenue
[17:53:55] benklop: i know nobody will understand, but I need mythtv running through it
[17:54:01] wagnerrp: which would explain why they were hitting a couple buildings on the avenue, and on the other side of town
[17:54:23] wagnerrp: benklop: yes, there is a env flag you can set to force mythtv to use pulse audio
[17:54:29] wagnerrp: i dont recall what it is offhand
[17:54:41] benklop: any idea where I can locate that?
[17:54:52] wagnerrp: understand that it will almost certainly be broken (bad a/v sync)
[17:55:24] wagnerrp: its listed somewhere in the ticket for the pulseaudio output driver
[17:55:47] squidly: why do people insist on using pulseaudio?
[17:55:52] squidly: or ESD or things like that?
[17:56:10] wagnerrp: they do have their place, but they are not needed for nearly all users
[17:56:23] eFfeM: wagnerrp: d and m do not work, I'm in the recording scheme screen, have two entries, they are done, not planned or so, I can only select by title then get a popup but d does not work, i have click on the title link to actually delete
[17:56:42] wagnerrp: i do not know what the 'recording scheme' screen is
[17:57:03] wagnerrp: you mean the recording rule list?
[17:57:06] squidly: wagnerrp: what place. I dont really know what it does, other then break my sound for me, and makes me remove it
[17:57:35] wagnerrp: squidly: as a sound server, pumping sound to remote machines
[17:57:38] eFfeM: wagnerp sorry meant recording schedules, translated improperly

[17:58:56] wagnerrp: benklop: you watched video for more than a couple minutes straight?
[17:59:13] benklop: wagnerrp: used it for most of last year with pulse underneath
[17:59:26] wagnerrp: then you are the rare user that did not have problems
[18:00:01] benklop: up until just recently when I enabled spdif output, but I still use pulse in-between for mythmusic and mythvideo when there aren't AC3 tracks
[18:00:19] benklop: wagnerrp: that's because I was very careful in how I set it up
[18:00:48] benklop: but it allowed myth to play music throughout my house
[18:00:50] squidly: wagnerrp: I cant really think of a need to pump sound to a remote machine. Save for pushing it to some kind of player
[18:01:08] wagnerrp: squidly: see benklop's example above
[18:01:21] benklop: squidly: i have a few netbooting boxes that all they do is start up pulseaudio in recieving mode and hook to speakers

[18:02:12] davidm is now known as Guest62800
[18:02:15] benklop: clever: pulseaudio can broadcast multicast RTP audio.. so anybody on the network can play it
[18:02:20] clever: ahh
[18:02:26] wagnerrp: the problem with such a distribution system is syncing it
[18:02:44] wagnerrp: chances are your playback was off by several tens of ms between systems
[18:02:49] clever: the digital STB has the same problem
[18:02:55] clever: the STB is several seconds late
[18:02:55] benklop: wagnerrp: it's a few milliseconds off, but you don't notice it unless you listen carefully.
[18:02:56] wagnerrp: which means if your zones are too close together, it sounds bad
[18:03:11] clever: so if you can hear a plain old analog tv, you get major desync between the rooms
[18:03:48] clever: the STB is several whole words behinds the plain analog tv
[18:03:53] benklop: clever: the fact that my amplifier in the living room has a few ms of lag anyway helps even out things between the remote stations and it

[19:01:03] gbee: green theme to this unexpected spending spree, opted for an Antec 80%+ PSU
[19:01:32] jduggan: nice
[19:01:32] gbee: well there goes the beer money
[19:01:39] jduggan: i need a decent PSU
[19:02:03] wagnerrp: looks like theyre up to 500GB on the single-platter drives
[19:02:52] wagnerrp: im surprised they never sold any 375GB disks
[19:03:31] wagnerrp: they expect people wont understand not-round numbers?
[19:04:14] gbee: +next day delivery, total £90 .... ouch
[19:04:28] jduggan: the samsung 1tb are 55 on ebuyer, quite cheap
[19:04:41] iamlindoro: gbee: Lucky you, that would be the shipment cost alone here
[19:04:51] iamlindoro: gbee: guess the small geographic distribution helps :)

[19:06:49] jduggan: :)
[19:07:06] wagnerrp: for £90, you could probably go to a store now and pick one up
[19:07:10] gbee: making decisions in minutes and ordering next-day .... I hate this, but needs must

[19:11:06] ** wagnerrp has never seen an unbranded hard drive **
[19:11:15] gbee: well one WD 1TB for ... drum roll ... £100 (sale price)
[19:11:40] gbee: wagnerrp: well they've branded it with their in-house name 'TheTechGuys'
[19:12:48] iamlindoro: "I never thought I'd like TiVo much. It turns out it can do most of what I've always used MythTV for, and the price isn't bad."
[19:12:54] iamlindoro: Someone's clearly not paying attention
[19:14:19] gbee: nah, nothing decent on the PSU side either, price is higher too even taking the lack of a delivery charge into account
[19:14:40] ** gbee takes his lumps **
[19:15:04] jduggan: you can pay for next day delivery with ebuyer
[19:15:06] jduggan: even now
[19:15:08] jduggan: for saturday

[20:04:53] iamlindoro: or a month
[20:05:02] skd5aner: regarding .23, I've seen some word that it'll be a fairly "quick" release following .22's release... I know things are flexible, but what does "quick" mean in this context?

[20:05:32] iamlindoro: skd5aner: three months until freeze, release a month later
[20:05:39] iamlindoro: tentatively March 1
[20:06:01] PeaceKeeper: iamlindoro: I like the wiki. That is a nicly written page.
[20:06:08] skd5aner: thanks – appreciate the context... the reason I'm asking is because I follow commits and have been watching some of the things going into post .22
[20:06:19] iamlindoro: PeaceKeeper: Thank, I accept full credit. :)
[20:06:45] iamlindoro: skd5aner: What about them in particular?
[20:06:46] skd5aner: prior to .21 I used to run trunk and update every 6–12 weeks or so, but now I'm in the habbit of running a bit more stable using -fixes...
[20:07:09] PeaceKeeper: iamlindoro: Then credit is given where credit is due. ;p Where is the best place to ask questions about theming (IRC or Mail list?)
[20:07:22] skd5aner: so, I'm debating if I want to run .22-fixes and simply hold off on the additional items if .23 is going to be released relatively "soon"
[20:07:25] iamlindoro: PeaceKeeper: Either is fine, most of the same suspects are present on both
[20:07:41] PeaceKeeper: Is there a theme irc channel?

[20:07:56] PeaceKeeper: cool thx!
[20:08:01] iamlindoro: np

[20:09:11] iamlindoro: it definitely won't be backported

[20:09:28] iamlindoro: well, not *that* bad, but bad enough that they won't get backported
[20:09:45] iamlindoro: and will likely require some polish even once they're committed
[20:10:00] skd5aner: I was assuming it wouoldn't be, but that majority of my library is in .iso and I really want to utilize some of the cool new stuff you've been working on (Robert right?)
[20:10:11] iamlindoro: That's me :)
[20:10:37] iamlindoro: There's a lot to come, I'm sort of tearing out some of the more aggravating parts of the code right now to cimplify my life for the upcoming stuff
[20:10:41] skd5aner: yea – I typically don't do bleeding edge updates of trunk, but usually wait for something to "stabilize" a few weeks or so

[20:19:30] gbee: probable merge of mythvideo and mythmusic into mythfrontend, uhh, feel like there should be something else

[20:20:33] iamlindoro: and yeah, the mythvideo merge-in
[20:21:06] elmojo: so merging PBB and mythvideo is targeted for 0.23?
[20:21:21] skd5aner: speaking of last.fm gbee, I frequently use iTunes because it integrates my playcounts into last.fm. Would be great if mythmusic could be a last.fm client for submitting plays

[20:23:34] gbee: you can't practically merge the UI of video + recordings, most people want very different things from them both

[20:39:24] GreyFoxx: too long maybe, but my boxes always run trunk (updated bi weekly if not more so) and it's rarely unstable
[20:39:49] GreyFoxx: my wife and daughter have had maybe 1 or 2 complaints about segfaults but that's about it
[20:40:17] skd5aner: well – like I said, I used to run a fairly current trunk for a while, even after .21 release for a while
[20:41:02] skd5aner: I follow commits, so I can usually tell when it feels safe for me (a non-dev) to jump into the trunk pool, just never had anything forcing me to do it this time

[21:29:23] iamlindoro: thus, transition
[21:29:24] sphery: http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/MythVideo
[21:29:33] justinh: so you need to install mythvideo & mythmusic & mythgallery

[21:32:19] EnderTheThird_: iamlindoro: Any suggestions on how to remedy said mismatch? Aside from trying a crapload of SVN co's?
[21:32:29] squidly: sphery: I feel ya there
[21:32:32] sphery: peoples: because the /receiver/ should do volume control
[21:32:44] iamlindoro: EnderTheThird_: Just check revisions on your systems and make them match (and make sure your DB isnt' crashed)
[21:32:56] justinh: peoples: it's generally not even a volume control anyway
[21:33:03] EnderTheThird_: I don't think the DB is crashed. New recordings have gone fine and Mythweb works like a champ
[21:33:21] sphery: EnderTheThird: "crashed DB" usually means one or more tables
[21:33:27] sphery: i.e. can affect different parts of Myth
[21:33:33] EnderTheThird_: Ah, got ya.
[21:33:39] Dibblah: EnderTheThird: Have you considered the pastebin I asked for earlier?...
[21:33:41] peoples: sphery: ok , an how i'm able do control the volume  ?
[21:34:00] peoples: alsamixer also shows one entry on my hdmi device
[21:34:00] sphery: peoples: with the remote for your audio/video receiver
[21:34:06] EnderTheThird_: Dibblah: file was 500kB. Sorry, forgot to tell you. Trying to find a pastebin that will let me load such a big file.
[21:34:23] sphery: peoples: or a nice universal remote with volume buttons properly mapped
[21:35:01] justinh: if you use a digital output chances are you're doing so because you like the fidelity of the audio to be maintained throughout the system, right?
[21:35:02] peoples: sphery: better , but mapped to what ? alsamixer shows no volume slider for my hdmi device ?
[21:35:06] EnderTheThird_: http://pastebin.com/m52d649b1
[21:35:14] sphery: peoples: or don't use IEC958 or S/PDIF output... If you use analog, Myth does volume control
[21:35:19] justinh: and if you want fidelity to be retained you do NOT mash the volume up with quick & dirty software
[21:35:43] peoples: sphery: analog ? what is that ;D
[21:35:48] sphery: peoples: mapped to the signal that's sent by the remote for your a/v receiver--has /nothing/ to do with LIRC. The universal remote will send the signal which will be picked up directly by the a/v receiver

[21:36:48] peoples: :)
[21:36:49] EnderTheThird_: Oh, and themes/myththemes are both 22600.
[21:37:18] sphery: Basically, it's impossible to do volume control with digital output without resorting to broken tricks like softvol and re-encoding streams--and if you're so concerned about getting the quality benefit of digital, you do /not/ want to do that. You want to do volume control the way it was intended--using the A/V receiver.
[21:37:37] EnderTheThird_: Dibblah: Posted the pastebin link above. http://pastebin.com/m52d649b1 Sorry for delay. Let me know if you see anything.
[21:37:46] sphery: peoples: that's 2 separate options a) analog, b) universal remote talking directly to the receiver

[21:40:15] justinh: well, saying "digital is better than cheap analogue" is ok :)
[21:40:33] sphery: I'm not saying that digital is bad--just saying that people who refuse to use anything analog because "it's analog" are over-simplifying things

[21:42:24] EnderTheThird_: Haha, oops, wrong window. I'm an idiot.
[21:42:31] Dibblah: EnderTheThird: You definitely have recordings and you definitely have a filter set.
[21:42:46] [Peter]: sphery: I guess most people like to think that their receivers has better DACs than their soundcards
[21:43:06] EnderTheThird_: Dibblah: I'm not sure where the filter is set incorrectly though. I've checked from "watch Recordings" and from "Playback" settings in TV Settings. Both are set to All Programs.
[21:43:09] sphery: yeah: 10.30 17:39:17 <+sphery> justinh: no, digital isn't better--but the PC audio D->A is worse
[21:43:27] sphery: but basically, if you have to use digital, then you have to understand its limitations
[21:43:52] [Peter]: sure, keep the volume at 100% at all times.
[21:43:52] sphery: and the person I was trying to help was focused on the word analog and completely missed the point of my either/or

[23:15:17] skd5aner: re: trailers – I think I saw someone submitted a patch one time that would allow a use to view a trailer of a movie IF they had that trailer stored locally – would something like that still be up for consideration?
[23:15:50] skd5aner: it would be nice to preview movies in your collection if you HAD the trailers. I know several movies include them as extras, so you could rip the trailer title
[23:16:33] skd5aner: that would be "legit" I would think

[23:17:39] iamlindoro: (.22)
[23:17:51] skd5aner: ah, nice! Of course – I think that was one of your earlier works right?
[23:17:58] iamlindoro: you can associate trailers with your films from mythvideo's edit metadata screen
[23:18:03] skd5aner: pre-dev promotion
[23:18:11] iamlindoro: skd5aner, well, it was about a year ago, but one of the earlier things I submitted, yeah
[23:18:43] skd5aner: cool, I think that could really be a neat feature – I remember asking about it at the time

[23:20:05] skd5aner: I think you could really do some cool things with trailers: preview selected movies, watch random trailers/trailer cinema, use the trailer as the preview for a movie like the recording preview
[23:20:22] sphery: iamlindoro: sweet!
[23:20:26] iamlindoro: skd5aner, the first two are already options
[23:20:32] chris_: Anybody here by chance using a Motorola DCH3200 box via firewire?
[23:20:35] iamlindoro: the third is just waiting on the video widget
[23:20:47] benklop: iamlindoro: ah.. so that doesn't mean you can watch the trailers from mythmovies
[23:20:48] skd5aner: iamlindoro: we think alike :)
[23:20:49] sphery: now all we have to do is make it a law that /all/ DVD's and Blu-Rays sold must contain at least one trailer

[23:21:07] iamlindoro: chris_, Even if they were, firewire behavior varies from headend to headend-- meaning they would need that box, on your headend, in your city
[23:21:10] iamlindoro: benklop, right
[23:21:25] chris_: Just looking for some help with changing channels on it.
[23:21:38] iamlindoro: chris_, which will vary in exactly the way I mentioned
[23:21:56] iamlindoro: what works for one person will not for the next, etc.
[23:22:17] chris_: Wow...
[23:22:34] skd5aner: iamlindoro: I know they disabled search in trac – do you happen to know which ticket it was that included the patch for trailers?
[23:22:39] iamlindoro: that said, channel changing usually works for more people than actual video capture does
[23:23:25] iamlindoro: skd5aner, 5920
[23:23:46] chris_: Well video capture is fine. The problem seems to be specific to the DCH3200 boxes. majoridiot is no longer supporting mythchanger, but he said he had received several emails from people about the DCH3200 boxes.
[23:23:57] chris_: Channels can be changed just fine from the command line.
[23:24:01] sphery: Woah... 0.21's DB Schema Version was 1214. 0.22's is 1244. What are the chances that they'd both end with a 4. o.O
[23:24:07] chris_: But it absolutely refuses to from within mythtv.
[23:24:13] iamlindoro: sphery, one in ten
[23:24:17] sphery: heh
[23:24:24] benklop: iamlindoro: any idea of the legalities of youtube videos within a non-youtube UI?
[23:25:01] iamlindoro: benklop, It's almost certainly a violation of their terms of service, so it's probably nothing we can really integrate
[23:25:18] meshe: http://www.youtube.com/t/terms
[23:25:32] iamlindoro: benklop, That said, it might be possible/plausible to use our embedded browser widget to get creative about web video
[23:26:02] iamlindoro: ie write our own parsing/menuing interface, and when it comes time to play the item, pop up a web browser widget of the actual page

[23:26:55] meshe: http://code.google.com/apis/youtube/overview.html &mdash ; The Custom Player takes you a step beyond just pasting a video into your site. Anyone can easily configure the custom player to show playlists, favorites, or their own videos.

[23:27:40] meshe: it's google now :)
[23:28:27] sphery: iamlindoro: the big problem with doing Trash--I mean Flash--through the integrated web browser is that you completely lose "mouse" control over the Flash widget.
[23:29:19] iamlindoro: sphery, yup, glad I don't have to make it work :)
[23:29:58] justinh: I thought mythtube used mythui – it was more that it was still in a very early stage of gestation

[23:30:27] iamlindoro: justinh, and I got tired of fixing it when the author disappeared :)
[23:30:48] meshe: so you broke it?
[23:30:56] iamlindoro: no I stopped fixing it :)
[23:30:59] iamlindoro: er so I
[23:30:59] meshe: hehe
[23:31:02] justinh: it def. showed a lot of promise. the guy doing it even seemed keen to play ball with our protestations of how to keep it in with a chance of being official
[23:31:30] skd5aner: justinh: maybe so, I know the first revision wasn't – maybe it got semi-translated to a preliminary mythui compatible version, but yea – support from the author was lacking
[23:31:52] skd5aner: was hoping it'd get to a stage where it'd be integrated and maintained by "the devs" haha
[23:31:53] justinh: it's always sad when plugin authors stick to their guns or give up arguing their case
[23:31:55] iamlindoro: It was always MythUI

[23:32:11] justinh: unless you're thinking of the Israeli effort
[23:32:20] sphery: but it was MythNews MythUI before gb ee's 2nd pass through MythNews, right?
[23:32:25] skd5aner: you know, I think it's kinda funny how long .22 took (understandably so) and we are actually coming out with no new plugins, and in fact – LESS plugins than .21
[23:32:26] iamlindoro: yup

[23:34:34] skd5aner: I was going to ask about the mythphone – cool concept, never used it – however, why did someone delete the wiki article for it? Shouldn't it be left there for archival sake?
[23:34:35] meshe: 17
[23:34:44] justinh: RC2 will be the last before the proper release
[23:34:50] _ben: Cool
[23:34:51] justinh: or is planned to be at any rate

[23:37:36] skd5aner: but – seriously, anyone know why the mythphone wiki article was removed entirely instead of updated to indicate it's no longer supported?
[23:37:36] tmkt: while watching sopranos
[23:37:39] benklop: but that can still be done pretty easily
[23:37:58] sphery: I started with 0.13
[23:38:06] justinh: I still like my idea about a new notification gadget
[23:38:29] benklop: meshe: so you don't have to pick up the phone to know whos calling
[23:38:38] skd5aner: I had a script that worked on my ipcop box which pulled the CID info out of the vonage SIP info and sent it to mythosd, but it's been broke for over a year for me
[23:38:46] justinh: people don't call our landline anyway
[23:38:47] skd5aner: anyone know if mythosd has been fixed in .22?
[23:38:54] tmkt: i wanna get stattracker running in PBP so i can watch my fantasy football scores changed while watching the game
[23:38:55] sphery: skd5aner: because the only thing worse than no information is old/outdated information cluttering up searches for information?
[23:39:01] meshe: wouldn't do much good unless i could get my cell provider to talk to myth
[23:39:01] justinh: was it broken in 0.21? works fine here
[23:39:17] skd5aner: yea – it was broke for a while I believe
[23:39:30] justinh: mythtvosd would be ace if it was mythui'd
[23:39:31] sphery: IIRC it's fixed in 0.22
[23:39:41] sphery: in the works
[23:39:46] justinh: making it so might be quite simple, but pointless until the osd is mythui'd
[23:40:01] meshe: i have custom ring tomes for anyone i care to talk to, if i'm watching tv then i can tell by the sound if i care who's calling, all else go to voice mail
[23:40:07] sphery: (both OSD going mythui and notifications going mythui in OSD and GUI)
[23:40:40] justinh: our parents are the only ones who call us on the landline, and I never want to speak to mine
[23:40:58] meshe: justinh: sounds like a good reason to get rid of the land line ;)
[23:41:04] justinh: always when I've sat down to watch something

[23:53:42] justinh: and the answer is no. I won't be maintaining it
[23:54:23] _ben: <curiousity>why?</curiousity>
[23:54:26] justinh: I have some ideas for a new theme which I may or may not unleash on the public at some point but I will NOT be listening to 'user input'
[23:54:46] justinh: _ben: because all my old themes bite donkeys arses
[23:55:18] justinh: in hindsight all were rushed, slapdash efforts
[23:55:30] _ben: i dunno

[23:55:36] _ben: i like greyhem :)
[23:55:38] android6011: ok well the hard drive died in my frontend
[23:55:38] justinh: I spread myself way too thin, pandering to what I perceived people might like
[23:55:39] MythGuy7 (MythGuy7!n=mythguy@user182.82-197-231.netatonce.net) has joined #mythtv-users
[23:55:40] iamlindoro: I am very very happy to have a basically done theme in the pipe, with a whole release cycle to tweak it
[23:55:49] android6011: anyone do pxe booting for their frontend
[23:56:19] justinh: so the next one won't have mythgallery themed, and quite a lot of other things will be unthemed too – i.e. stuff I never use
[23:56:24] justinh: android6011: yes thanks
[23:57:04] android6011: justinh: is there a certain guide you followed or anything? also, i read one place with pxe, all the hard work is done on the server and not the local client
[23:57:10] android6011: you know if thats true?
[23:57:29] justinh: what?
[23:57:53] android6011: justinh: i kinda figured you were talking to the wrong person when you said thanks
[23:57:55] justinh: it doesn't necessarily make the client a dumb terminal if that's what you mean
[23:58:05] android6011: ya
[23:58:08] android6011: thats what i meant
[23:58:36] MythGuy7 (MythGuy7!n=mythguy@user182.82-197-231.netatonce.net) has quit (Client Quit)
[23:58:38] justinh: nah, all it means is that it boots from a network share & treats a nfs mount as local storage generally
[23:58:50] android6011: ok
[23:59:07] skd5aner: justinh: yea – was gonna ask about a conversion to .22, I've used this theme for like 2 years now, love it
[23:59:11] android6011: i installed mythbuntu-diskless-server on my backend but now im stuck because a link in the wiki is dead
[23:59:32] skd5aner: that's fine – appreciated the effort and theme while it lasted
[23:59:41] justinh: as of 0.22 the majority if not all themes should 'work' for the time being
[23:59:55] _ben: whats teh default theme atm?
