Hi

[00:13:09]

Dabian:

I am guessing its "External channel change command" . unless thats for people with an actual TV-set?

[00:13:15]

pyther:

I have a 9400GT. How can I find out if it supports VDPAU?

[00:13:19]

Dabian:

Hello pyther, how are you?

[00:13:51]

Dabian:

pyther : Try I out, I guess, or check the hardware compability list, maybe.

[00:14:24]

pyther:

I take it that VDPAU isn't suppose to cause mythfrontend to segfault?

[00:15:05]

Dabian:

pyther : I am not deep with the design decisions of Myth .. but shooting from the hip, I would tend to agree with you.

[00:15:26]

pyther:

lol :D

[00:15:39]

pyther:

could the drivers cause issues?

[00:15:57]

Dabian:

Wouldn't surprise me the least if it could.

[00:16:10]

Dabian:

Still .. I don't think the front end is supposed to barf.

[00:16:33]

pyther:

So maybe the beta drivers are causing issues :-/

[00:17:14]

Dabian:

Triggering some lacking input sanitation sure could cause such a failure, with a poorly working driver, I guess.

[00:17:57]

Dabian:

pyther : I don't know the VDPAU at all though.

pyther:

Dabian, ya I looked at it

[00:23:49]

Dabian:

THere is some good stuff in the mailinglist also.

[00:24:17]

Dabian:

Some guy got something working .. but apparently not all.

[00:25:44]

pyther:

hmm I might try some other beta drivers

[00:25:55]

pyther:

I don't really care much, I have a fairly beefy cpu

[00:26:30]

Dabian:

beefy? Don't know that one .. I'm stuck with AMD here!

[00:27:02]

pyther:

I got a AMD X2 250 3.0ghz/CPU

[00:27:28]

Dabian:

I think mine is similar to that.

[00:28:05]

Dabian:

Nah .. X2 1GHz apparently?

[00:28:21]

Dabian:

I thought the 6000+ was supposed to be faster?

[00:30:28]

Dabian:

"The vitals on the X2 6000+ are simply this: two cores at 3GHz with 1MB of L2 cache per core, primed for Socket AM2."

[00:30:43]

Dabian:

Hmm .. I wonder if I was ripped off :/

Dabian:

Oh well .. thats a different deal .. lets focus on myth.

[00:36:36]

pyther:

Dabian, you might have cpu frequency running

[00:36:46]

pyther:

my cpu is clocked at 800Mhz when it is idle

OK .. looked at the docs .. didn't find anything about my problem.

[00:48:25]

pyther:

Dabian, do you have a command called "cpufreq-info"

[00:49:42]

Dabian:

pyther, I do now. :)

[00:49:57]

pyther:

run it in terminal

[00:50:20]

Dabian:

cpufreq stats: 3.00 GHz:4,80%, 2.80 GHz:0,14%, 2.60 GHz:0,16%, 2.40 GHz:0,17%, 2.20 GHz:0,17%, 2.00 GHz:0,20%, 1.80 GHz:1,28%, 1000 MHz:93,08% (5027)

[00:50:45]

pyther:

Do you see something called hardware limits?

[00:51:07]

Dagmar:

That shouldn't cause a major problem

[00:51:23]

Dagmar:

Just set the governor to 'performance' if it does

[00:51:50]

pyther:

Dagmar, I think the concern was that he saw that cpuinfo reported his cpu as only supporting 1Ghz

[00:52:10]

Dabian:

pyther : Thats very acurate. :)

[00:52:21]

Dagmar:

That's _normal_ if the CPU governor modules are trying to keep you from burning power you don't need to

[00:52:49]

Dagmar:

It'll crank things up to full speed if you put the system under load

[00:53:00]

Dabian:

Cool

[00:53:22]

Dagmar:

The only problem it causes is that in some cases VDPAU will become starved because the memory bus is tied to that

[00:53:29]

Dagmar:

If VDPAU never screws up, don't worry about it

[00:53:40]

[00:54:19]

Dabian:

Dagmar : Apparently pythers system triggers a segmentation violation in mythfrontend.

[00:54:48]

Dagmar:

Then experimentally set the cpufreq governor to 'performance' or just disable it

[00:55:11]

Dagmar:

Playback doesnt automatically add enough system load to make the speed governor kick things up

[00:55:18]

Dagmar:

...which is _fine_

[00:55:23]

pyther:

Yippy

[00:55:30]

[00:55:50]

[00:56:03]

Dabian: It bans gay rights

[00:56:10]

[00:56:30]

I'm waiting for a new qt release

[00:57:13]

to fix another myth bug

[01:00:09]

Dabian:

Dagmar : Btw. do you know if its possible to make channel scan work with an ivtv card, like PVR500? (I have the PVR500 .. one of the tuners seems to have blown though – the Samsung one)

[01:00:45]

Dagmar:

No. It's not.

[01:00:49]

Dagmar:

It's currently quite broken.

[01:01:00]

Dabian:

Darn

[01:01:09]

Dagmar:

If you're in the US there's little point.

[01:01:13]

Dabian:

Whats the work around? Manually entering all frequensies?

[01:01:21]

Dabian:

I'm in Denmark.

[01:01:36]

Dagmar:

Manually entering channels, I would think

[01:01:53]

Dagmar:

Analog broadcast stations are assigned channel numbers there, right>?

[01:02:12]

Dabian:

Dagmar : Thats the common way to do it, yeah.

[01:02:13]

Dagmar:

Once you know which frequency table is in use in that region, the rest is just simple integers

[01:02:29]

Dabian:

Dagmar : I am assuming europe-west

[01:02:54]

Dabian:

Which seems to work with ivtv-tune and mplayer /dev/video1

[01:02:56]

Dagmar:

That would probably be a safe assumption

[01:04:28]

Dabian:

Once I manually entered all the channels .. I want to download a program guide .. thats quite cumbersome too, right?

[01:04:43]

Dagmar:

That, as far as I know, is entirely in the purview of XMLTV

[01:04:52]

Dagmar:

...at least outside the US it is.

[01:05:11]

Dabian:

Its different in the US?

[01:05:37]

Dagmar:

Yes, in the US we got sick of it and some people put together SchedulesDirect to continue getting cheap listings data that someone _else_ manages and massages

[01:05:52]

Dagmar:

For awhile we were just getting the listings straight from Zap2it

[01:06:35]

Dagmar:

In the US there's little point in scanning for analog channels, since a trial SchedulesDirect account is free, and Myth can populate the channel list in one database pull

[01:06:53]

Dabian:

Sounds neat .. I wonder why we don't get something like that here. :/

if i have a backend and combined frontend machine and a recording is scheduled and the machine is suspended will it wake up to record? or is there a settings somewhere that will have it do that?

[01:07:18]

Dagmar:

Probably not enough demand to reach critical mass

[01:07:28]

Dagmar:

I imagine most people there are probably just buying TiVos or something

[01:07:44]

Dabian:

Dagmar : lol .. we don't have TiVo's yet.

[01:07:45]

Dagmar:

bep: You'll have to set up a few things

[01:08:08]

Dagmar:

Dabian: Then you probably have almost no demand for machine-readable listings data I suspect

[01:08:31]

Dabian:

Dagmar : I guess not .. also .. most areas have their own frequencies, I guess.

[01:08:41]

Dagmar:

Write letters to your broadcasters _now_ while there's still time to show them that they don't need to look upon that as a vehicle for added revenue

[01:08:57]

Dagmar:

If the station has a website, they should probably just put up an XML feed themselves

[01:09:11]

Dabian:

Dagmar : For instance, I live in an area of 600 homes or so ... we have our own frequency table.

It's more than a little pointless since someone wanting that clearly is indicating an interest in the programming

[01:11:36]

Dagmar:

...and ads are how they make money

[01:12:14]

Dabian:

Is all your channels made from commercial revinues?

[01:12:34]

Dagmar:

I could put the information for the next month of programming for one of our broadcast channels in the space used by just one pull of the masthead graphic from their website

[01:21:23]

Dagmar:

1. They keep my feet protected from the elemements or...

[01:21:29]

Dagmar:

2. They're useful for smashing things in.

[01:21:35]

Dagmar:

Crocs are neither.

[01:21:54]

Dabian:

So, since you're in Tennessee, 2. is the real reason, I suspect. ;)

hey, gang.... anyone know if ubuntu 9.10 has lirc-modules "included"...?

[01:30:04]

wilberfan:

i can't get my hauppauge 350 remote to work...

[01:30:07]

Dagmar:

The countries who have them got together to ban them because we've already got enough to blow up the planet 100x over, and we've no idea how to safely get rid of them in light of the fact that there'll probably be ONE whacko left who'll decide now's the time to make their play for control of the entire world

[01:30:07]

wagnerrp:

i doubt it

[01:30:08]

Dabian:

Dagmar : But they are effective, if the weather is right.

[01:30:19]

wagnerrp:

you probably have to install an lirc package to get lirc modules

[01:30:24]

Dagmar:

Dabian: So are air-fuel bombs

[01:30:32]

wilberfan:

wagnerrp, i don't see lirc-modules in synaptic...

[01:30:32]

thats not likely something to be installed stock

[01:30:44]

Dagmar : Napalm. :)

[01:31:00]

Dagmar:

Dabian: No... that's messy, and not nearly as effective.

[01:31:07]

wilberfan:

wagnerrp, any idea how/where to get the module(s) i need??

[01:31:15]

wagnerrp:

ask in #ubuntu?

[01:31:29]

wilberfan:

wagnerrp, seems like a reasonable idea!

[01:31:32]

[01:31:33]

wilberfan : apt-cache search lirc

[01:31:50]

Dabian:

oops, sorry. :X

[01:32:05]

wilberfan:

Dabian, tried that...

[01:32:14]

wilberfan:

all i find is "lirc-modules-source"

[01:32:32]

wilberfan:

i can't believe you'd have to compile a lirc module in ubuntu...

[01:32:48]

wilberfan:

my debian myth box had modules avail from the repos...

[01:32:51]

Dabian:

wilberfan : I find considerable more .. maybe you haven't enabled universe and multiverse sources?

[01:33:15]

wilberfan:

lemme double-check... i checked that once today already...

[01:33:38]

Dabian:

wilberfan : Remember to run "sudo apt-get update" when you're done. :)

[01:34:16]

wilberfan:

"main" "universe" "restricted" "multiverse" are all checked...

[01:35:04]

Dabian:

Dagmar : You're right about the nukes, btw. We can't get rid of them .. because of that .. and eventually some sick coitus is going to get some, who doesn't give a darn ...

we're talkin' ubuntu 9.10, right?

right

[01:41:16]

wilberfan:

and your apt-cache searches are showing available modules??

[01:41:19]

Dabian:

wilberfan : I don't think you would need the source for that remote ... I used it myself.

[01:41:40]

Dabian:

wilberfan : Which modules are you looking for?

[01:42:12]

wilberfan:

well in my debian experience there's usually lirc-modules that match the kernel you're running...

[01:42:24]

Dabian:

wilberfan : Did you try just installing "lirc" ?

[01:42:31]

wilberfan:

yep. hours ago! ;-)

[01:42:53]

Dabian:

mythbuntu-lirc-generator ?

[01:43:19]

wilberfan:

i have some existing lirc config files (that work in the debian install) that I copied over...

[01:43:41]

wilberfan:

why would "/etc/init.d/lirc restart" FAIL on stop and fail on start?

[01:43:42]

Dabian:

Not sure if they work with Ubuntu.

[01:43:53]

wilberfan:

something fundamental is missing, right?

[01:44:00]

Dabian:

wilberfan: You might need to restart.

[01:44:11]

Can somebody check my logic real quick? I have a DTA and a STB and I'd ideally like to use the DTA with my capture card. There's a working LIRC config for the STB but not for the DTA, however, I've noticed that the stock comcast remote works with either of these two devices. This surely means they use the same IR codes, so the config for the STB shoudl work with the DTA, right?

though Myth now uses either ~/.mythtv/lircrc or ~/.lircrc

does that work?

can mythtv be used to control other devices via IR? like... could i setup a myth tv frontend so that when it comes out of suspension it (with the aid of a connected usb/serial IR transmitter) turns on my TV and amp then sets them to the appropriate channels/inputs?

[02:22:32]

wilberfan: yeah, works fine

[02:22:38]

wagnerrp:

Rebecca: no

[02:22:49]

wilberfan:

[02:22:53]

wagnerrp:

myth only currently has external scripts for channel changing

[02:23:12]

Rebecca:

wagnerrp: okay

[02:23:16]

sphery:

wilberfan: I'm guessing you have a line in your frontend log--something about "unable to connect to device" (or socket or something like that) right where it's attempting to initialize LIRC support

[02:23:22]

wagnerrp:

you could set up your standby script to turn off the tv when called, and turn it back on when woken

[02:23:49]

wagnerrp:

or you could program in your own functionality using irexec outside of mythtv

[02:23:57]

Rebecca:

wagnerrp: okay. so it could be done, but would require some hacking to get working

[02:24:03]

[02:25:08]

Rebecca:

i guess i could get one of those fancy script/programmable remotes instead

[02:25:31]

wagnerrp:

then you either need to get a programmable remote, or you need to program in such capability using irexec as mentioned

[02:25:34]

wilberfan:

sphery, /var/log/mythtv/mythfrontend.log

[02:25:42]

Dagmar, where is that located?

[03:00:18]

that's true, but i prefer to keep everything under /etc/cron* it makes it easier to find when i go looking for stuff. i might forget to look in /var/spool/cron*

it worked, by the way

[03:00:26]

ahh

[03:00:41]

jst: You are kinda not using cron correctly if you're restarting the "service"

[03:01:17]

jst:

i just wanted to make sure it was rereading /etc/crontab

[03:01:29]

jst: `crontab -l user` to list 'em, and more importantly `crontab -e user` to edit

"The crontab utility is the program used to install, deinstall or list the tables used to drive the cron(8) daemon in Vixie Cron. Each user can have their own crontab, and though these are files in /var, they are not intended to be edited directly."

I'm looking at a lircd config file that works with my set top box except that the ZERO code doesn't work. A the bottom of the tutorial is an alternate lirc config file that supposedly works, but it's missing some of the functionality on some MCE remote buttons. Is there a way to include the IR code for 0 in the alternate config (which is in raw format) and include it in the working config?

no, the 9300 is considerably more powerful

when defining an external channel change command in myth backend setup, do I have to specify the full path to the perlscript?

[04:26:14]

bllz:

the full path is /usr/bin/change-channel.pl

[04:31:01]

bllz:

also, the documentation says "You will need to add the script to the 'change change script' entry in the General section of 'mythtv-setup'.", but I see no such entry in the General section.

[04:31:13]

bllz:

the closest thing i've seen is in the input connections section

k_ross; okay, for whatever reason it's not working lol

[04:45:17]

bllz:

i have the permissions set to 770

[04:45:36]

bllz:

and i made it executable by chmod +x /path/to/script.py

[04:45:47]

bllz:

and i'm able to manually send irsend commands and they work

[04:45:53]

bllz:

so i'm not sure what the problem is... any ideas?

[04:46:16]

k_ross:

does the script work if you run it manually?

[04:46:19]

clever:

bllz: did you try running the script from a terminal?

[04:46:24]

k_ross:

for example: channel-change.pl 123

[04:46:31]

bllz:

hmm i'll try that now

[04:46:48]

bllz:

also, I should mention that i'm determining that it's not working because when i hit "scan channels" nothing happens

[04:46:58]

bllz:

i'm suddenly wondering if this is an appropriate way to test it

[04:47:25]

k_ross:

i don't think you use "scan channels" when using an external STB

[04:47:28]

k_ross:

at least i didn't

[04:48:13]

bllz:

ooh

[04:48:17]

bllz:

lol maybe it's been working all along

[04:48:35]

bllz:

but let's try the script anyway

[04:50:00]

wagnerrp:

anyone know their way around regular expressions?

[04:50:12]

clever:

wagnerrp: ive been using them alot lately

[04:50:49]

k_ross:

i have two tuner cards, for which i did channels scans, and two HD-PVR's with FIOS, which uses a channel change program, which i did not scan channels. it filled in the channel list from Schedules Direct

[04:50:58]

wagnerrp:

im trying to parse out the response of a title search... http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/MythVideo_Grabber_Script_Format

[04:51:08]

wagnerrp:

but am running up against the problem that that year is optional

[04:51:39]

bllz:

clever, k_ross: how do you run a python script again? what's the command?

[04:51:39]

wagnerrp:

so if i mark the year as optional, it gets consumed by the greedy title pattern

[04:51:41]

bllz:

is it sh?

[04:51:59]

clever:

if its a proper cgi script, you just run it directly

[04:52:02]

wagnerrp:

you just run the script

[04:52:08]

clever:

/path/to/script.py 123

[04:52:13]

clever:

or script.py 123

[04:52:15]

k_ross:

make it executable, then run it

[04:52:15]

bllz:

hmm... that didn't work...

[04:52:21]

wagnerrp:

any properly written script will have a proper bang at the top to denote its interpreter

[04:52:25]

bllz:

it should already be executable... i did chmod +x

[04:52:32]

clever:

what error?

[04:53:01]

clever:

wagnerrp: ($\d{4}$|) maybe

[04:53:03]

k_ross:

if it's python, the first line of the script needs to be "#!/usr/bin/python"

[04:53:14]

actually it just popped up... : root@server:~# /usr/bin/change-channel.py

feels like it has the wrong #! line

[04:53:54]

bllz:

k_ross: how do I remedy this? I didn't write the script

[04:53:57]

wagnerrp:

what is the first line of that script?

[04:54:10]

clever:

bllz: what is the 1st line of the script?

[04:54:24]

clever:

lol, nearly word for word

[04:54:33]

but the first functional line is...

[04:54:46]

bllz:

import os, sys, re, time

[04:55:07]

wagnerrp:

the first line should be '#!/usr/bin/python' or maybe '#!/usr/bin/env python'

[04:55:12]

clever:

the first line must be #!/usr/bin/python

[04:55:19]

bllz:

ah okay

[04:55:21]

bllz:

i'll just add that now

[04:55:31]

wagnerrp:

if you dont have something like that in there

[04:55:33]

bllz:

do i add that before the comments?

[04:55:37]

wagnerrp:

you need to find the author and slap them

[04:55:39]

wagnerrp:

yes

[04:55:42]

wagnerrp:

first line

[04:55:47]

bllz:

haha yeah sounds like a pretty big f-up on their part

[04:56:08]

wagnerrp:

or, you can just run the command as 'python /path/to/script'

[04:56:11]

bllz:

WIN!

[04:56:14]

bllz:

you guys are amazing

[04:56:17]

k_ross:

not that big, since you could still run it as "python channel-change.py"

[04:56:25]

for now, just specify the full path

clever:

to encode the component outputs

[05:06:12]

You need a cable box with component output

wagnerrp: What script

[05:06:39]

Where's this script at?

[05:06:39]

wagnerrp: i think it's a lirc command actually...

[05:06:45]

Dagmar:

It does.

[05:06:45]

clever:

wagnerrp: perl isnt doing it, its passing the command to sh

[05:06:49]

clever:

wagnerrp: which is why sh complained

[05:07:02]

wagnerrp:

clever: i know, but it passed a full path to sh

[05:07:08]

wagnerrp:

it probably shouldnt be doing that

[05:07:17]

clever:

probly the script author is expecting PATH to be buggered

[05:07:27]

Dagmar:

Then he's a noob

[05:07:38]

the script author should not work around his users' deficiencies

yeah, the location of sleep differs just between 2 of my systems

So where's this perl script at?

here's the script: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Motorola_DC . . . hange_Script (second one. the perl one)

[05:08:07]

i can pastebin it too if that's easier

k_ross:

what is with that channel map in the script? i mean, to change to channel 106, it sends 111 plus 5 channel downs?

[05:15:21]

wagnerrp:

'which' is more common, my systems dont have a 'type' executable

[05:15:35]

clever:

wagnerrp: thats because type is a bash INTERNAL

[05:16:41]

Dagmar:

I'm sure they meant well

i guess

0 works fine on my dct2000

[05:17:37]

wagnerrp:

but to be honest, nearly every time ive seen recursion in code

[05:17:42]

k_ross:

couldn't they just figure out how to get the 0 key to work?

[05:17:47]

it could far more easily and cleanly be done in a loop

[05:18:51]

I know why he's doing the weird call to sleep externally tho, but it's silly

[05:19:01]

wagnerrp:

i dont understand that whole table at all

[05:19:13]

wagnerrp:

can you not type in '900' directly?

[05:19:13]

Dagmar:

Normally sleep() in perl only sleeps until the top of the next clock seconds.

[05:19:23]

Dagmar:

wagnerrp: Apparenrly not with his remote profile

[05:19:25]

bllz:

Dagmar: i think there was some issue where if you didn't sleep, you'd get errors if the ir codes came in too fast (or something)

[05:19:27]

clever:

wagnerrp: that table will also horidly break the next time they add or remove a channel

[05:19:34]

bllz:

wagnerrp: nope, you can't

[05:19:36]

clever:

and is tunned to a certain lineup

[05:19:36]

why ever would you have to go to '911' and keep cycling down

[05:19:48]

wagnerrp:

why not? thats retarded

[05:19:58]

bllz:

wagnerrp: you can, actually, but it would require a different config file (which i have... and it works) but then I wouldn't have a ready made channel-change scritp to use

[05:20:10]

Dagmar:

I think clever had it right in suspecting the guy's 0 key was broken

[05:20:13]

is the '0' button not programmed?

[05:20:54]

bllz:

But there's no need to call exit from perl, ever really

[05:22:23]

clever:

Dagmar: currently, i'm working on booting my mythbackend from a tmpfs with some tftp in the mix

[05:22:25]

Dagmar:

That's the reason there's both exec() and system()

[05:22:32]

Dagmar:

One returns immediately, the other doesn't.

[05:22:34]

clever:

is that the kind of thing you would expect from me? :P

[05:22:47]

Dagmar:

...and there's a CPAN module to get usleep so you can do 1/3 second sleeps in perl

[05:23:13]

Dagmar:

Likes 43–45 could be replaced with a much simpler loop

[05:23:17]

wagnerrp:

im looking at this code... and what was the website where the actual shape of the html code was some japanese mountain range on its side?

[05:23:20]

k_ross:

the easiest way to make the script work with a functional 0 key is to remove the "if(defined($chanmap{$channel}))" and everything up to and including the "else" after it, and the curly braces

[05:23:20]

Dagmar:

shift inside of a loop is bad

you might find them near /usrc/share/myth* if your distro is sane

[05:26:28]

k_ross:

clever: ah, that's much easier on the eyes!

[05:26:34]

bllz:

clever: so when you say rename the commands I just use the names in lircd.conf right (sorry for the volume of stupid questions)

[05:27:00]

clever:

just rename the buttons in lircd.conf so you have 0 thru 9

[05:27:03]

Dagmar:

unless ($ARGV[0] =~ /\d+/) { print "Shoot me$/"; exit 1;}

[05:27:09]

clever:

and maybe add or remove the OK and EXIT commands from my example

[05:27:22]

clever:

OK forces it to go to the channel NOW, and then EXIT hides the OSD

[05:30:35]

** clever stabs irssi **

[05:31:10]

Dagmar:

my $digit yuck

[05:31:19]

bllz: yeah, read the lircd.conf to see what its called, then edit the bash script

[05:31:22]

Dagmar:

@array = split('', $chan);

[05:32:04]

Dagmar:

At least the thing is documented.

[05:32:14]

Dagmar:

That scores almost enough points in my book to make up for the rest of it

[05:32:22]

to whomever asked if channel change scripts come with myth, yes they are in the "contrib" directory

[05:32:32]

including the one clever posted

If it were this crazy and utterly undocumented the drive it's on should probably be shredded

[05:33:02]

clever:

k_ross: ive since modified mine to include OCR from a usb webcam

[05:33:20]

clever:

k_ross: if the script fails and winds up on the wrong channel, it beeps and tries again

[05:33:22]

[05:33:30]

k_ross:

[05:33:43]

its the kind of thing Dagmar would shoot me for even thinking of using:P

[05:34:04]

wagnerrp:

indeed

[05:34:10]

Dagmar:

Using a webcam to spy on the thing to make sure it changed the channel properly is exactly the kind of thing I was talking about a minute ago

[05:34:12]

Dagmar:

hehe

[05:34:19]

clever:

see

[05:34:41]

Dagmar:

Like, for that much trouble surely someone could come up with a "real" solution

[05:34:43]

clever:

and i couldnt find any good OCR software, so i just use imagemagick to compare the old image to the new one:P

[05:34:54]

for that amount of effort

[05:34:55]

Dagmar:

Okay *whew*

[05:35:00]

clever:

Dagmar: ok, how do you get a serial ir blaster to stop dropping digits at random?

[05:35:05]

wagnerrp:

you may as well crack the thing open and add your own serial port

[05:35:05]

Dagmar:

I thought you'd used an _actual_ OCR library

[05:35:24]

clever:

wagnerrp: it has a serial port, i have the control scripts, it doesnt react to them at all

[05:35:26]

Dagmar:

clever: You tape the sonofagun emitter right to the front of the sensor with black electrical tape

[05:35:50]

clever:

Dagmar: its hasnt moved in months, but every now and then it will drop a digit

[05:36:08]

Dagmar:

Is the conf file the blaster is using filled with raw codes?

[05:36:08]

clever:

its got perfect reception, but still messes up because the carrier freq is made by the host cpu

those look like clearly defined and properly decoded codes

[05:36:50]

THe chances of the device reading the sent codes properly goes up if it's not seeing the equivalent of a scratchy 8bit 4Khz sample, but instead the result of say, a tone generator

[05:36:53]

clever:

not ugly sampled wave forms

[05:37:04]

Dagmar:

Okay that's good

[05:37:17]

Dagmar:

I'd just go for the electrical tape then

[05:37:24]

wonder if its network or just underpowered cpu that is the issue now

[05:45:50]

Dagmar:

fhobia: Provided there's no old people with 2.4Ghz cordless phones around, and your content is SD quality, you should be able to watch one stream

[05:46:01]

Dagmar:

...also providing no one start using the microwave oven

[05:46:53]

Dagmar:

Ya might wanna move the AP to channels 1 or 11.

[05:47:05]

Dagmar:

They are the ones that don't overlap with things like bluetooth devices and so on

[05:47:15]

fhobia:

i moved to channel 11

[05:47:19]

fhobia:

HD content here

[05:47:19]

Dagmar:

good.

[05:47:26]

clever:

i cringe when i scan for networks and find 5 of them on channel 6

[05:47:28]

bllz:

clever, you carry your name well

[05:47:34]

bllz:

your script works

[05:47:35]

bllz:

thanks so much

[05:47:39]

Dagmar:

That'll be dodgy without 802.11g, and it'll still be a bit dodgy

[05:49:56]

bllz:

So when i'm changing channels through an external stb, I don't need to run the scan for channels function on the myth backend setup?

[05:50:13]

clever:

bllz: you cant scan for channels when using an external tuner

[05:50:31]

clever:

scanning works by changing the tuner in the card and reading the signal levels

[05:50:37]

bllz:

clever: ah okay, i had assumed (falsly, apparently) that the channel changing script would take over

[05:51:10]

clever:

all of the channels should be added using something like schedulesdirect.org

[05:51:45]

jst:

strange problem i'm experiencing... whenever i have mythtv running, no other programs can produce audio... flash player, vlc, etc. are all essentially mute... anyone know what could be causing this?

[05:52:09]

bllz:

clever: yeah i already have a subscription. so no further configuration will be necessary?

[05:52:09]

Dagmar:

A lack of dmix

[05:52:33]

Dagmar:

dmix is the ALSA facility that muxes multiple audio streams so that you can actually play sound from more than one source at a time

[05:52:53]

Dagmar:

It _attempts_ to take advantage of sound cards that can already do this (which are mainly SoundBlasters)

[05:53:14]

Dagmar:

However, it's ability to detect this correctly is on par with the average 900 line psychic

[05:53:21]

jst:

hahaha

[05:53:35]

Dagmar:

So it _frequently_ fails horribly, thinking that the card can do it fine

[05:53:47]

Dagmar:

It's also remarkably full of fail if you try to use OSS device names like /dev/dsp

[05:54:14]

[R]:

do they still have 900 psychics?

[05:54:20]

[R]:

miss cleo hasn't run commericals in forever

[05:54:35]

Dagmar:

As long as there are opinionated fat black women, there will be 900-number psychic hotlines

[05:54:39]

jst:

i'm not going to bother fixing it... installing a new motherboard tomorrow, so maybe that will take care of it :)

[05:54:51]

Dagmar:

...because there will probably never be a shortage of people too stupid to know better.

[05:55:04]

[R]:

ROFL

[05:55:05]

jst:

a friend of mine used to call up psychics... claim that she got ripped off by other psychics and lost tens of thousands of dollars...

[05:55:06]

clever:

Dagmar: my phone co refuses to even let 900 numbers dial out:P

[05:55:13]

jst:

asked them if they were legitimate or not... of course they said yes

[05:55:21]

jst:

then she asked them to prove they were legit by telling her her name

[05:55:29]

jst:

it was f'ing hilarious

[05:55:36]

clever:

caller id...

[05:55:40]

Dagmar:

Better to ask them "Will I be caught"

[05:55:45]

jst:

one of them actually said "i'm sick, it's interfering with my ability"

[05:56:06]

Dagmar:

I mean, if you're going to mess with them, make them think you're a serial killer.

[05:56:39]

Dagmar:

This also works for telemarketers.

[05:56:42]

clever:

next time the telemarketers call, start talking about where you hid the bodies

[05:56:46]

clever:

see:P

[05:56:48]

Dagmar:

"May I speak to Mr. So-and-so?"

[05:57:15]

[R]:

jst: don't they know you shouldn't go to work when you are sick

[05:57:28]

Dagmar:

"I'm not sure... Lemme check. *sound of something heavy and irregular rolling* ... Hmm.. .That's the name in the wallet alright"

[05:57:37]

Dagmar:

I used to have a large bag of potatoes for that

[05:58:02]

Dagmar:

It was awesome until I freaked out one enough that she called the police.

[05:58:12]

clever:

[05:58:20]

[05:58:29]

okay

and if you already have a lineup & scan repeatedly of *course* the scanner will find duplicates

[07:32:40]

justinh:

I'm starting to think that in future whoever changes stuff like this in mythtv should be forced to document it extensively

[07:32:47]

fhobia:

so how do i clear out the tables ?

[07:33:13]

justinh:

fhobia: why did you scan multiple times anyway?

[07:33:35]

fhobia:

trust me i don't want to, but i only got like 10 channels while my tv got about a 100

[07:33:41]

[07:33:45]

justinh:

meh

[07:33:47]

fhobia:

trynig to figuer out why i can't get more than 10 channels on the pc

[07:33:50]

justinh:

delete all channels

[07:33:53]

fhobia:

so i've just been playing around

[07:34:11]

justinh:

but if you expect to be able to use schedulesdirect prepare to have to do some funky stuff

[07:34:29]

fhobia:

no, i don't need to

[07:34:38]

fhobia:

i have all the channels written down on a sheet of paper

[07:34:47]

fhobia:

but i can't get most of them on the pc while i can get them on the tv

[07:35:11]

justinh:

1. in digital TV there are no 'channels'

[07:35:28]

justinh:

at least not in the traditional sense where one frequency == one channel

[07:36:05]

fhobia:

so like 2.1, 2.2 those are not channels ?

[07:36:08]

fhobia:

we call them frequencies ?

[07:36:15]

justinh:

if one device on the coax is able to pull in more than another one it's clear you've got issues with signal strength

[07:36:32]

clever:

fhobia: 2.1 and 2.2 are seperate streams on the same freq

[07:36:55]

justinh:

having channel numbers with points in them is just plain retarded IMHO

[07:37:00]

Dagmar:

They're often called subchannels

[07:37:07]

fhobia:

signal strength is shown to be some 90% on the mythtv setup though

[07:37:21]

justinh:

fhobia: phooey

[07:37:22]

Dagmar:

justinh: When they're typically all the same broadcast company?

[07:37:29]

fhobia:

so how can i clear the database of frequencies ?

[07:37:30]

justinh:

Dagmar: IMHO yeah

[07:37:54]

justinh:

fhobia: there's a 'delete channels' option in mythtv-setup's channel editor

[07:37:59]

Dagmar:

Here, 5 is Channel 5 from analog, 5.1 is also them showing less popular content, and 5.2 is such rarified content you wonder who the hell would watch it over PBS

[07:38:17]

fhobia:

how dare they call it "delete channels" !!!

[07:38:40]

justinh:

fhobia: some devs have been battling plain English naming of things but common sense is winning ;-)

[07:39:03]

fhobia:

where is that option? :-P

[07:39:04]

fhobia:

...

[07:39:09]

justinh:

like these goddamn plain English error messages people get in their logs. People are simply *dumbfounded* by them

[07:39:34]

justinh:

effing big DELETE button in the channel editor. Christ

[07:40:00]

clever:

justinh: i would rather have D just work when in the channel editor:P

[07:40:01]

fhobia:

i thought you were talking about a delete all

[07:40:07]

justinh:

or you can highlight one channel & press D

[07:40:23]

justinh:

I think I might as well be talking to a wall

[07:40:40]

fhobia:

ahhhh

[07:40:50]

fhobia:

yes, deleted them all

[07:41:31]

justinh:

anyway if it's still the case that your PC can't pull in as many 'channels' as the TV can, you probably have issues with signal strength

[07:41:59]

justinh:

i.e. you split the cable too many ways, or there's not enough signal for the PC's tuner card(s) but enough for the teevee.. etc

[07:42:23]

justinh:

.. or you selected the wrong frequency table in mythtv-setup

[07:42:53]

fhobia:

i think that is what happened initially

[07:43:00]

fhobia:

i just have it setup to default now

[07:45:11]

fhobia:

this time i think i got it :-)

[07:45:27]

fhobia:

hopefully the same "frequency" in my tv will match what i get on the pc's tuner

[07:46:10]

justinh:

so is this from an antenna or cable?

[07:46:19]

fhobia:

cable

[07:46:58]

justinh:

even with cable there's a limit to the amount of times you can get away with splitting it. Even one split (to two) might be too much

[07:47:16]

justinh:

depends ;-)

[07:48:26]

fhobia:

ok, i'll remove the split if i still can't get many channels to see if theres any difference

[07:48:28]

k_ross:

when you say your tv gets 100 channels from the cable, is this using a cable box from the cable company, or no box at all, and the tv is plugged straight into the cable coming out of the wall?

[07:49:44]

fhobia:

latter

[07:50:34]

k_ross:

and what kind of tuner card do you have? analog only? clear QAM?

[07:51:04]

fhobia:

clear QAM

[07:51:57]

justinh:

so yeah remove the split, put the PC as the only thing on the cable & see what you get

[07:52:22]

roger

[07:52:43]

justinh:

if that gets you everything you think you should get maybe your cable company will be able to give you more signal if you ask them nicely

[07:53:03]

justinh:

failing that, a cable amp will probably do you

[07:55:35]

k_ross:

i don't use a QAM tuner, so i've never done this. but isn't there a place in mythtv-setup to choose the frequency table to use, for the different cable tv "standards"?

[07:56:41]

fhobia:

yeah, i initially chose "us-cable"

[07:56:47]

fhobia:

now i just have it on "default"

[07:56:55]

fhobia:

oh, something i had forgotten to tell

[07:57:00]

fhobia:

what that i just changed the splitter

[07:57:17]

fhobia:

the old one which i scanned couple times was 5–900 MHz

[07:57:35]

fhobia:

now this new one is 5MHz – 2.3 GHz

[07:59:11]

k_ross:

i don't think cable goes over 900 mhz

[07:59:55]

fhobia:

yeah, i don't think it make a difference

[08:00:49]

fhobia:

guess itmust have been the frquency table then

[08:01:39]

justinh:

or the signal strength

[08:01:48]

or lacking having an option on the tuner driver enabled

or does that script to include downloaded shows as recordings still work?

justinh:

sigh

[08:26:19]

justinh:

you obviously meant public domain freely downloadable 'shows' right

[08:27:03]

justinh:

if you use categories etc properly it's easy to distinguish different things

[08:27:53]

justinh:

but tv recordings are tv recordings & shouldn't be mixed with *any* downloaded content. Scripts & hacks which do that are WRONG

can only do that if it's single sided

[10:00:22]

justinh:

in which case you should check the wiki at linuxtv.org

[10:00:46]

justinh:

because – if it works in linux it'll more than likely work with mythtv

don't even know if that exists, but this doesn't look like a normal pci-e slot?

i have searched many dead ends on google and many say you can but none show you how

[10:30:07]

henrik__:

MattyZee, no, it's not possible to install mythbackend on the dreambox and therefor it can not be setup as a secondary backend.

hmm. been playing with youtube XL. seems like it'd work fine within mythbrowser, except it actually expects a remote control, and mythbrowser intercepts "up/down/left/right" presses and changes them to "move screen left" etc. i realise those can be changed via keybindings, but that'll change it for every website.

Well, here was my plan, to run a dual P4 2.4ghz sever for the backend, and then a Acer Rivo Atom N270 powered front end.

[12:08:11]

djyox:

Just because I can pick up a dual cpu server for around $150 or less.

[12:09:13]

djyox:

and the Revo (maybe thats how it's spelled?) would do nothing but play movies off of my file storage server and the backend.

[12:10:01]

djyox:

So the dual cpu would do anything and everything, because the data storage isn't much for power there, just space.

hello! has anyone experienced strange problems using the alsa a52encode plugin as an output for mythtv, but not in other applications?

[17:57:38]

benklop:

i think I've found a post that describes the reason, but i'm not sure about practical solutions

[17:57:55]

benklop:

http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1165897

[17:57:57]

dmz:

:(

[17:58:19]

benklop:

basically it's a side effect of the way ALSA works and the fact that myth has a built in ffmpeg

[17:59:14]

benklop:

and it means I can't get sound out of anything myth that doesn't contain ac3

[17:59:56]

benklop:

so mythmusic, mythvideo (for videos without ac3) are totally silent for me

[18:03:01]

benklop:

anyone know of a non-processor intense way to fix this? the only thing that comes to mind is have another process actually call the ac3 plugin.. which would mean using sox or something to get audio from one place and pipe it in to another

[18:03:29]

wagnerrp:

or you just use 2-channel PCM

[18:04:12]

benklop:

wagnerrp no good, my amp seems to give me rather corrupt sounding audio unless I send it ac3.. it doesn't seem to like pcm

[18:04:17]

benklop:

and I can't really use analog

[18:05:55]

benklop:

my amp won't allow me to specify both an analog and a digital input for one device, at least not in a way that seems to work often

[18:08:35]

benklop:

honestly this looks like an ALSA design flaw to me

[18:08:42]

benklop:

or at least a design flaw of that plugin

[18:09:45]

i'm not really expecing that mythtv fix it, just looking for possible workarounds that don't involve me hacking at code i'm not familiar with

Why the hell would someone buy something if they had a fair use use-case in mind that becomes nearly impossible if they buy it legitimately

Making some last-minute changes to my Qt4 build at the moment actually

[19:46:09]

you wont be noticed as just one more

You're good.

It had a very specific scope, and clear instructions on how to reproduce it

[19:50:16]

haha, yea – needless to say, I've been on the other end of "trouble ticket" and "bug reports" before – so I kind of have an expectation of what consititutes a good and bad report

[19:50:50]

I want to make it as easy as possible, so that my problems don't get shoved to the bottom of the list simply because I don't provide good info

low hanging fruit tend to get attention quicker than some other problems

[19:52:02]

skd5aner:

yea – that's why I'm hoping this one is. Iamlindoro already fixed the other semi-related theme problem I had, so I'm thinking this might be a quick fix

[19:52:26]

Dagmar:

Low-hanging fruit have the most flavor.

[19:52:43]

justinh:

long shot but have you tried a different theme?

[19:52:44]

skd5aner:

however, I have a liveTV issue that I'm not sure will float to the top anytime soon, not to mention it verges between bug and feature request :(

[19:52:58]

skd5aner:

yea, graphite and terra – same

[19:53:19]

justinh:

yeah all the 'bugs' on my list are feature changes

[19:53:39]

justinh:

need to get one with those – not prepared to even use a newer mythtv til they're committed

[19:53:46]

skd5aner:

Well, let me go submit this bug – I'm eager to chat a little about the liveTV thing and get some of your opinions on it before I submit anything on it

[19:54:01]

defaultro:

hey folks, how do I remove that huge number 1 image once we play on a recording?

[19:55:12]

wagnerrp:

as in you played something, exited playback, and now that image is stuck on screen?

[19:55:35]

defaultro:

no

[19:55:43]

defaultro:

it just gets displayed before the real recording

[19:55:50]

defaultro:

it stays like for 5 seconds

[19:55:55]

kormoc:

a number 1 is displayed before the real recording?

[19:55:56]

** kormoc blinks **

[19:56:00]

defaultro:

yep

[19:56:04]

wagnerrp:

right, to say... 'im doing something, please wait'

[19:56:05]

kormoc:

never heard of such a thing

[19:56:08]

defaultro:

yep

[19:56:13]

wagnerrp:

its the cinema countdown thing

[19:56:14]

defaultro:

Playback starting

[19:56:16]

defaultro:

yes

[19:56:24]

kormoc:

when did that get in there?

[19:56:25]

wagnerrp:

only its not an animation currently, just a single frame

[19:56:30]

defaultro:

countdown but it really isn't a countdown since it's just number 1

[19:56:31]

wagnerrp:

early this year?

[19:56:40]

kormoc:

shows how long it's been sense I've watched tv

[19:56:56]

defaultro:

i'd rather want to see a black screen

[19:56:59]

wagnerrp:

its all mythtv 'Internal' playback

[19:57:05]

justinh:

I'd rather playback started sooner :)

[19:57:11]

kormoc:

so replace the image with a black one?

[19:57:11]

wagnerrp:

whenever the internal playback starts up, it does that

[19:57:12]

defaultro:

that's true too

[19:57:17]

iamlindoro:

kormoc: It's themed

[19:57:21]

defaultro:

kormoc, i didn't do that in .21

[19:57:34]

defaultro:

any theme I chose, it was always black

[19:57:41]

justinh:

yeah it always was

[19:57:49]

iamlindoro:

kormoc: In this case you're looking at the terra loading image, it seems

[19:57:58]

justinh:

and then somebody decided it'd be more friendly to show it was actually doing *something* instead

[19:58:15]

defaultro:

so that black that we saw before was really an image?

[19:58:20]

kormoc:

ahh

[19:58:24]

justinh:

no. it was just black screen

[19:58:33]

defaultro:

there you go, i wanted it that way

[19:58:53]

justinh:

I couldn't care less. start playing video already :)

[19:58:54]

defaultro:

i'm not sure whyI don't like the cinema countdown. Maybe, it's not animated

[19:59:10]

defaultro:

that's what I really want too. How do we do that

[19:59:21]

justinh:

dig in the code, find out what the holdup is

[19:59:28]

defaultro:

:P

[19:59:38]

defaultro:

maybe the buffer I put was too big

[19:59:47]

wagnerrp:

what buffer?

[19:59:55]

defaultro:

something on the setup

[19:59:59]

defaultro:

it's in one of the pages

[20:00:05]

defaultro:

ringbuffer something

[20:00:08]

kormoc:

why'd you modify it?

[20:00:09]

justinh:

that the mythical 'ring buffer' setting I have a vague memory of?

[20:00:11]

wagnerrp:

placebo

[20:00:15]

wagnerrp:

does nothing anymore

[20:00:16]

defaultro:

i didn't modify it in the code

[20:00:23]

justinh:

wagnerrp: since when?

[20:00:37]

defaultro:

i modified it on the gui page. I set it to 9144 something

[20:00:44]

kormoc:

justinh: it's been dead for awhile

[20:00:51]

wagnerrp:

i assumed since the ring buffer got removed in place of just recording everything

[20:00:59]

kormoc:

defaultro: but why? if you don't know what it does or have a reason to modify it, why did you?

[20:01:03]

wagnerrp:

or is that still used for playback access?

[20:01:05]

defaultro:

i wish it can be as fast as mplayer, when I run mplayer, the recording is displayed withing 1 or 2 seconds

[20:01:14]

** kormoc just doesn't get changing things for the sake of changing them **

[20:01:26]

Dagmar:

...and this is why you don't run Gentoo.

[20:01:37]

justinh:

HDRingbufferSize

[20:01:38]

defaultro:

who is running Gentoo?

[20:01:43]

defaultro:

yeah, HDRingbuffersize

[20:01:48]

kormoc:

amusingly enough, I do run Gentoo :P

[20:02:01]

kormoc:

ooh, that one is used, but only for livetv iirc?

[20:02:03]

defaultro:

i'm running fedora core 6

[20:02:18]

justinh:

kormoc: dunno, I don't use livetv :)

[20:02:18]

wagnerrp:

thats quite ancient

[20:02:20]

defaultro:

and it's 12 now :)

[20:02:30]

defaultro:

it is but it works pretty well

[20:04:01]

defaultro:

so what could be the reason why it takes 4 seconds to play a recording compared to playing the same recording using mplayer?

[20:04:10]

justinh:

sigh

[20:04:14]

justinh:

wth do you think?

[20:04:26]

defaultro:

huh, that's why I am asking for help

[20:04:28]

justinh:

database accesses, buffering.. yada yada yada yada yada yada yada

[20:04:34]

defaultro:

oh ok

[20:04:37]

justinh:

font caching... etc

[20:04:40]

defaultro:

got it

[20:04:52]

Dagmar:

defaultro: Prove that it's a bug

[20:04:59]

Dagmar:

...or just fix it.

[20:05:01]

justinh:

it's not a bug

[20:05:04]

defaultro:

nope, I am not saying it's a bug. LOL!!!!

[20:05:08]

Dagmar:

At the moemnt, it's apparently just a complaint.

[20:05:30]

justinh:

Dagmar: one a few of us have & some of us have even looked into it. but that buffering code is voodoo to me

[20:05:33]

defaultro:

i've never said anything above that it was a bug. I was seeking some guidance on how to make it fast

[20:05:59]

defaultro:

just wondering why my mythvideo plays really quick although it calls mplayer in playcommand

[20:06:06]

justinh:

the bitch is, on some systems it's lightning quick

[20:06:08]

Dagmar:

defaultro: Sprinkle the code with printfs or run it under GDB and find out what it's spending all it's time doing.

[20:06:14]

justinh:

so it's possibly lib related too

[20:06:34]

defaultro:

that would be a good one so I can learn how to code and debug

[20:06:51]

defaultro:

but need some tutorial links on how to get started

defaultro: Think of it this way. mplayer is a bicycle. Myth is a tank. They will both get you somewhere.

[20:07:16]

justinh:

just slap some VERBOSE(VB_IMPORTANT... in the code, compile..

[20:07:38]

mplayer will *always* start up faster than myth because it is doing infinitely less under the hood

[20:07:40]

Dagmar:

defaultro: `gdb command`

[20:07:50]

defaultro:

yep, I think just like justin said, disk access could be the culprit on my system

[20:08:02]

justinh:

when did I say disk access?

[20:08:14]

defaultro:

sigh :( database access

[20:08:19]

defaultro:

data is stored on database

[20:08:25]

defaultro:

which is stored on disc

[20:08:28]

No.

[20:08:28]

defaultro:

disk

[20:08:34]

defaultro:

k

[20:08:35]

justinh:

there's already good evidence to show that it might be lib related since some people's (including dev) playback starts much faster

[20:08:36]

Dagmar:

A crappy database stores everything on a disk.

[20:08:47]

Dagmar:

A decently-performing database keeps as much in RAM as it can

[20:08:47]

defaultro:

k

[20:08:56]

Dagmar:

This is why it's called a database and not a wrapper gor grep

[20:08:59]

defaultro:

well, if it's indexed, yes

[20:09:30]

defaultro:

since you said memory, another culprit on my setup could be memory since it's small

[20:09:32]

Dagmar:

Oracle's so damn snooty it wants it's own paging file

[20:09:43]

does anyone using lirc here?

i may need to upgrade ram since it's so small

Try something more specific.

[20:11:45]

try asking in #lirc

that's what I meant

nescius:

justinh: long time dead channel

[20:12:03]

so?

[20:12:29]

Dagmar:

I'd ask in #lirc just to admire the high-quality silience they've got in there

[20:12:31]

I asked two days ago, very specific, just how to set lircd -n --device=/dev/input/event9 --driver=dev/input in the configuration files

lirc configuration files??

[20:14:19]

tzanger:

justinh: sure, but if your bandwidth is not great or you want to ensure no dropouts... makes sense to me

[20:14:27]

Dagmar:

nescius: Since where you're going to need to stick that will necessarily be a part of init, which varies from distro to distro

[20:14:47]

Dagmar:

Someone familiar with how init happens on your distribution would be able to give you details off the top of their head.

[20:14:51]

seems silly since it's trivial to capture the stream and record it, but yeah I guess

[20:15:22]

tzanger: You never actually _read_ the user agreement for Hulu did you

They kinda have a serious problem with the whole idea of someone _downloading_ their content.

[20:17:17]

heh if you say so

[20:20:44]

It's against their user agreement, which actually DOES make it _illegal_ by side-effect.

ignoring me and calling me names doesn't really affect me. I'm happy to stop discussing what I was asked to take off-chan

I kind of ran into a situation where livetv is basically unusable with multirec, or at least extremely non-user friendly at best

[20:22:51]

justinh:

skd5aner: I thought browsing across sources was allowed now

[20:22:51]

iamlindoro:

skd5aner: If it's the same thing you've been harping on for a few days, it's not a bug, it's a known limitation of multirec, but there are numerous ways to work around it

[20:22:53]

Dagmar:

Violation of a user agreement instantly voids any granted authorization.

[20:23:08]

Dagmar:

Therefore violation of a user agreement DOES constitute a violation of law in most respects.

you can't please anybody :)

[20:23:53]

people wanted multirec. YAY. Whoah that just peed off all the livetv users. Whoops. :P

[20:23:54]

skd5aner:

iamlindoro: yea, but wanted to chat about it with some other folks, just brought it up once the other night and no one was on to really chat about it

[20:24:03]

iamlindoro:

anyway, if you don't want to deal with the "locked into multiplex" thing, the "easy" solution is to create all of your tuners with one max recording, then to go into each in turn and increase it to 2, then to go back through and increas it to 3, etc.

[20:24:06]

Dagmar:

skd5aner; Have you tried diddling the nice levels?

[20:24:16]

iamlindoro:

then the virtual tuners will be in series

[20:24:37]

justinh:

interesting

[20:24:38]

skd5aner:

multirec benefits > Live TV, no question about that

[20:24:49]

iamlindoro:

ie in a three tuner system, 1 – 4 – 7, 2 – 5 – 8, 3 – 6 – 9

[20:24:53]

justinh:

change your viewing habits </brokenrecord>

[20:25:16]

iamlindoro:

then you will *never* be locked into a multiplex until you are out of tuners

[20:25:21]

skd5aner:

iamlindoro: yea, I think that workaround is probably the easiest for anyone who picks up the remote – which is what I'll do

[20:25:52]

bbc iplayer folks are apparently looking into the possibility of doing an API :)

[20:25:54]

I just didn't know if this was a known limitation to the devs

[20:27:16]

skd5aner:

iamlindoro: fair enough, I figured I probably wasn't the first to come across it

[20:27:30]

justinh:

holy cow. there's already a 'backstage' API .. I keep forgetting about that

[20:27:43]

[20:28:53]

Dagmar:

Better be prepared to hide those women

[20:29:04]

skd5aner:

multirec is AWESOME, but what iamlindoro was explainging is the only downside right now to the way it's architected. LiveTV isn't smart enough on it's own to switch to a different physical tuner if the channel you want to watch is on a different multiplex

[20:30:30]

skd5aner:

iamlindoro: your new plugin, can it support youtube and similiar sites? I thought the idea of mythtube would have been kind of neat, if only for novalty.

[20:30:45]

iamlindoro:

There has been talk of making multirec a little more dynamic (ie only create the virtual instances when they are necessary, rather than pre-populating them)

[20:30:51]

iamlindoro:

skd5aner: Haven't you seen the videos?

While I've read much on the subject, I have a two server setup, my main backend which is multipurposed as a file server/tftpd/dns/dhcp server as well as a secondary slave. While my main backend server runs the mysql db, I'd like the second to have a read-only replicant. Is this safe to do on a mythbackend slave server?

[20:32:58]

iamlindoro:

skd5aner: just watch the video...

[20:33:17]

** skd5aner is watching **

[20:33:47]

dserban_:

I vaguely remember reading that I should _not_ have mysql installed on a slave. But I assume that statement was made for concurrency issues (atomicity)..

[20:35:39]

wagnerrp:

its because mythtv only uses a single mysql database

[20:35:53]

wagnerrp:

running a mysql server on a slave backend will be pointless, because it will go unused

[20:36:07]

wagnerrp:

and if it is used, you end up with two detached mythtv systems running

[20:38:12]

wagnerrp: well I was asking if I could run a replicant in read-only mode which replicates what's on the master backend. Only for redundancy.

[20:38:53]

iamlindoro:

Will be better still when/if people start writing scripts for it

[20:39:11]

you can theoretically add any support for any site you like with a simple script

[20:41:31]

It's interesting, when you search youtube, it brought up the integrate browser, but when you navigated youtube (near the end), it played just the video

[20:41:36]

Greek-Boy:

Dagmar: Why do u say that? Do you think there will be legal issues with it?

[20:41:38]

Dagmar: if it streams much like a browser, I don't think there'd be any issue.

[20:41:41]

what is the difference between the two?

[20:42:06]

dserban_:

iamlindoro: you just opened a can of worms. :D

[20:43:51]

dserban_:

wagnerrp: so I guess I shouldn't have a problem since the slave backend would complain about the db if it was misconfigured and using the local one. As long as it's read-only and replicating from the original master. I should be problem-free. \o/

dserban_ et al, The plugin as distributed uses APIs 100%... there is no scraping and no violation of any terms of service ain any of the included code

[20:49:31]

skd5aner:

That was going to be my next question (beyond scripts), if a site releases an API, do you directly integrate with the API... I guess the answer is yes

[20:49:53]

iamlindoro:

Which was the whole point-- to build a plugin that gives people the access to network resources they want, make it (very) easily expandable, and do it in a way that makes respecitng ToS possible

[20:49:59]

iamlindoro:

skd5aner: That's all up to the grabber script

[20:50:13]

the script interfaces with the site/API and returns results in the plugin format

Most hobbyists are not at a technical level necessary to maintain a myth system, and people who buy turnkey systems don't want to

[21:00:22]

skd5aner:

Also, a lot of people fork and add so much customization that they can't then easily integrate into future release of myth

[21:00:48]

Greek-Boy:

but thats the whole business model of supporting open source software

[21:01:06]

Greek-Boy:

well, I guess it can't work for the home end-user / consumer

[21:01:31]

skd5aner:

so, they shoot themselves in the foot – "I want myth, but I want to make it do XYZ", so they drastically change the architecture and then they are hosed when they want to reintroduce all the new changes in a later version of myth

[21:01:43]

Greek-Boy:

but someone is bound to take the mythtv source code and use it for future video on demand, in-room hotel entertainment, etc

[21:01:51]

iamlindoro:

It works on a local level-- I have multiple Myth support consulting contracts... but as a turnkey system, it's just far too technical

It's *possible* to make it work, is you have on-site management of the hardware, and a very very minimal menu theme

I've seen the threads from time to time on the mailing list about hotels and other businesses looking at myth, but I think to myself "how in the world do they expect that to work"?

[21:04:38]

skd5aner: A couple powerful backends, a small hotel, and a menu theme with "watch TV" and "Watch movies" as the only items

[21:04:50]

wagnerrp:

skd5aner: if you limit yourself to a very restricted hardware set, make that work, limit the menus

[21:04:55]

you can get myth to be very stable

[21:05:00]

and i wonder if each guest can record in a user space just for that room?

spend $10-$15K on the storage capacity to do so

recording rules is probably not very useful for someone who's going to be there for 3.7 days.

I agree – if you can get a support structure for myth, then it's feasible

did they have to modify much of the code or just the themes and buttons?

[21:09:17]

justinh:

Greek-Boy: use your imagination

[21:09:20]

wagnerrp:

with ION systems, you can get by with maybe $250 in a custom box behind the tv, or maybe mounted in the wall

[21:09:23]

skd5aner:

that's how asterisk is able to survive as a very viable solution for companies, because Digium has a strong support model, and even has a certification program for local support techs

mythfrontend keeps checking 10.0.0.2 for the backend server, only the machine it's on is in the 192.168 range. It refuses to go anywhere else, and if I replace the localhost entry in ~/.mythtv/config.xml, it replaces it with localhost on startup >_<

if there were #mythtv-theming logs, you could check them

Is there an easy way to set that address to localhost?

[21:16:09]

and the kid wont be able to watch movies in that nfs share

skd5aner:

Greek-Boy: assuming you used NFS, and not Storage Groups

[21:23:04]

u know, i've never been able to get mythfrontend to control my main volume mixer

[21:23:09]

hal9000:

It essentially gets stuck at the background image

it should come up after a couple seconds and claim it could not connect to the backend

[21:23:17]

i've tried all the combinations in the general settings

[21:23:30]

justinh:

hal9000: well, it's getting the backend IP out of the database

[21:23:34]

and then proceed to function as normal, allowing access to whatever functions you can perform without backend access

[21:23:40]

run mythfrontend with -v database & you'll see

wagnerrp:

open 'mythtv-setup'... first group, first page

[21:23:59]

Greek-Boy:

Mixer device is /dev/mixer

[21:24:01]

wagnerrp:

it will say 10.0.0.2 as the master backend ip

[21:24:09]

justinh:

the config.xml tells mythfrontend where to find the database

[21:24:13]

Greek-Boy:

Mixer Control is set to Master

[21:24:13]

wagnerrp:

Greek-Boy: are you using analog or digital audio?

[21:24:29]

so mythfrontend goes & finds the database, finds out what the backend IP is.. and tada...

[21:24:54]

Greek-Boy:

wagnerrp: Digital

[21:25:12]

wagnerrp:

or in a real CF... when using upnp, the frontend goes out and finds the backend, which tells it where the database is, which tells it where the backend is

[21:25:24]

one of my other frontend, a dell studio also doesn't have a toslink output

and my amp doesn't have a digital co-ax input :-(

[21:31:58]

justinh:

ouch. lame amp

[21:32:16]

so i gotta build my own toslink and interface it to the SPDIF on the board of the dell studio

[21:32:20]

lame dell

[21:32:42]

i could have done the same with the acer revo if it had a SPDIF onboard ( but it doesn't :-( )

[21:32:49]

Greek-Boy:

ah well, such is life

[21:33:01]

Greek-Boy:

i guess i'll hunt for a usb toslink solution for the revo

[21:33:25]

Greek-Boy:

and if I buy anymore revo's i'll make sure it's the latest model, the one that has atom dual core

[21:34:08]

revo is actually a very nice front end, u can wall mount it behind the tv or anywhere u want

[21:34:21]

wagnerrp:

Greek-Boy: why do you need toslink?

[21:34:25]

but u gotta use VDPAU or else playback stutters

oh, no spdif on the amp

[21:34:46]

wagnerrp:

why kind of amp has toslink and no coax?

[21:34:46]

wagnerrp: Its the only way to get a digital signal into my amp

justinh:

a toy one :P

[21:35:19]

Greek-Boy:

it's a LG complete home theater

[21:35:32]

wagnerrp:

hell, you can probably crack open the amp, spend 3 minutes soldering on a connector, and have spdif

[21:35:44]

Greek-Boy:

it sucks because it has HDMI output but can only play DVD's. hahaha

[21:35:55]

Greek-Boy:

but the sound clarity is very good on it

[21:35:59]

justinh:

Lame's Good ?

[21:36:09]

wagnerrp:

since it almost certainly runs the toslink input through a transceiver, resulting in a standard spdif signal

[21:36:10]

Greek-Boy:

in fact, most ppl that hear my system think it rocks

[21:36:34]

Essobi is now known as EssobiDontCare

hmmm that it might, but not if it's bereft of useful inputs

[21:36:52]

wagnerrp: You mean if I open up my amp I could probably solder the coax signal somehere?

[21:37:00]

** Greek-Boy wonders..... **

[21:37:13]

wagnerrp:

i mean toslink and spdif send exactly the same signal

[21:37:19]

wagnerrp:

one is optical, one is electrical

[21:37:26]

Greek-Boy:

yeah

[21:37:30]

wagnerrp:

or perhaps rf, i dont know

[21:37:43]

so I gotta get behding the tranceiver

[21:37:47]

justinh:

wagnerrp: right the first time

[21:37:54]

wagnerrp:

but somewhere on that board, its going to run through a transceiver, and output standard spdif

[21:38:03]

iamlindoro:

skd5aner: IF it's not working, you mangled the setup

skd5aner: you add each digital tuner, each with one virtual tuner

[21:43:50]

skd5aner:

iamlindoro: just did exactly as you said, add each physical tuner, with only 1...

[21:43:54]

wagnerrp:

once youve added all of those, you go back and add additional virtual tuner

[21:44:04]

skd5aner:

then go back through the list, in the same order, and increase it to too

skd5aner:

s/too/two

even in the database, it looks correct

[21:44:24]

skd5aner:

eactly as you said

[21:45:04]

wagnerrp:

if you have mythtv set up to use the last tuner (avoid scheduling conflicts or something)

[21:45:21]

wagnerrp:

it will go from 1, to 4, and then get stuck on 4 again

it just makes sure the next use of livetv grabs a tuner not being used

[21:48:14]

skd5aner:

wagnerrp: yes, I suppose that's the only way it'd work :)

[21:48:17]

but if youre already using all four, then the whole thing is shot

and theres no reason to do any special ordering past that

[21:48:33]

yup – makes sense

[21:48:45]

if you mean digital capture, then thats subject to debate, but generally anything relatively cheap with good linux support as per linuxtv.org

[21:50:01]

whats the standard number of pci-e slots these days

[21:50:08]

if you want to capture HD being output from your cablebox, you must but an HDPVR

[21:50:15]

wagnerrp:

and capture the video over component

[21:50:18]

wagnerrp:

its the only option

[21:50:49]

ablyss:

qam doesn't require that

[21:50:59]

wagnerrp:

alternates are digital capture (not HD, just digital) from your cable box

[21:51:24]

wagnerrp:

or digital tuning (again digital, not hd) of QAM or ATSC

[21:51:25]

skd5aner:

Ok – unchecking "Avoid Conflicts between live TV and scheduled shows" seems to have helped, but why would having that checked cause the issue?

ok so I have to buy an HDPVR which is USB? in order to capture HD from cablebox?

[21:52:06]

wagnerrp:

you cannot digitally capture encrypted QAM channels through a tuner, nor channels marked copy-once/copy-never over firewire

[21:52:14]

benklop:

has anybody here managed to get mythstream working with a recent .22-fixes?

[21:52:26]

event if its outputing from the cablebox?

has anyone tried one of those HDMI capture devices, like the blackmajic intensity pro? they are about the same price as an hd-pvr. they have linux drivers, according to their website

[21:53:13]

wagnerrp:

k_ross: they have linux drivers, but its using their own proprietary API rather than the standard V4L one

[21:53:19]

i thought there was a way to remove HDCP, like with an HDFury or some such device. but with no v4l drivers, it doesn't matter.

[21:54:29]

dorgan:

iamlindoro: ok but once I have the HD-PVR i will be able to capture HD from the cablebox?

[21:55:34]

k_ross:

i already have 2 hd-pvr's. was just wondering about other options

[21:55:38]

ablyss:

by law the cable co. has to stream unencrypted QAM signals, though they don't have to tell you that.. you don't need a cable box to receive the the QAM signals provided by the cable co.

[21:55:52]

wagnerrp:

ablyss: you absolutely do

[21:55:56]

iamlindoro:

skd5aner: Yes. The checkbox causes liveTV sessions to jump later in the order ,nothing more

[21:56:14]

wagnerrp:

they are required by law to stream the local 'must carry' channels over unencrypted QAM

[21:56:23]

wagnerrp:

stuff you can already get over ATSC anyway

[21:56:30]

wagnerrp:

everything else, theyre free to do with as they please

[21:56:56]

ablyss: You are wrong

[21:57:06]

iamlindoro:

only *clearQam* can be tuner without the box

[21:57:13]

wagnerrp:

a box is needed for anything encrypted

[21:57:27]

which is generally everything not labeled 'must carry'

mrec_:

Hi, I'm trying to set up analog TV with mythtv but for some reason I'm not able to get the channel scan button, it's always grayed out and I'm only able to select "fetch channels from listing source"

[21:57:33]

iamlindoro:

by contrast, *all* cable channels are QAM, and recording *all* of them, regardless of their encryption status, requires a box

[21:57:38]

mrec_:

any idea what's wrong?

[21:57:42]

wagnerrp:

in other words, almost everything not already being broadcast locally

[21:57:55]

ablyss:

clearqam?

[21:57:59]

iamlindoro:

mrec_: our channel scanner rewrite doesn't include an analog scanner just yet

[21:58:04]

clear, as in not-encrypted

[21:58:39]

mrec_:

iamlindoro: uhm.. but this worked with earlier versions?

[21:58:47]

okay clearQAM is till provided by the cable co. though right?

[21:58:54]

wagnerrp:

mrec_: yes, the channel scanner got rewritten for 0.22

[21:58:55]

iamlindoro:

mrec_: Yup, channel scanner was ripped out and rewritten for .22

[21:59:01]

[21:59:02]

minus analog scanning so far ;)

[21:59:12]

Whether or not you can watch anything isn't their problem.

[21:59:25]

[21:59:32]

mrec_:

iamlindoro: do you know how someone can use analog TV then?

[21:59:40]

skd5aner:

iamlindoro: well, the box also ignores local tuners for live tv, which is something I'm trying to do because this FE is also a SBE with an HDPVR connected...

obliged is t he key word

it's a gap, but I'm sure not one that's specific enough for the devs to worry about right now

skd5aner: when all the devs are replaced by live tv using pod people..

[22:03:25]

iamlindoro:

dorgan: The only side of that card that is useful in myth presently is the digital side, which will give you nothing when connected to a cable box

[22:03:55]

iamlindoro:

and even if the analog side would work in myth, you'd just get SD

[22:04:00]

hmm really what I am trying to do is replace my cable provider HD-DVR with a mythbox

If you want to retain all your channels, and in their proper resolution, the only option is a STB + HD-PVR

personally i would not buy an hd-pvr

Dagmar:

Greek-Boy: Why wouldn't it be able to

[22:08:27]

same thing with supporting HDCP in HDMI

[22:08:28]

Greek-Boy:

Dagmar: I know it can do 5.1. I was wondering if it can do higher

like 7.1

[22:09:47]

Dagmar:

wagnerrp: why?

it doesnt have the bandwidth

[22:10:07]

and usb 2.0 does?

[22:10:10]

wagnerrp:

1080p60 is 375mbps

[22:10:34]

do most bluray discs output Dolby TrueHD?

you could recompress it like hd-pvr does, but then you're back to where we are now

[22:10:52]

wagnerrp:

either that, or have an on-board encoder like the HDPVR

[22:10:59]

AndyCap:

Greek-Boy: do any? :P

ok so HD-PVR it is

ok

What about it

[22:11:26]

justinh:

dunno wtf the point in > 5.1 audio is

[22:11:28]

wagnerrp:

its all unencrypted

[22:11:30]

iamlindoro:

dorgan: If all you need is you rlocal and network channels, it's a great option

[22:11:33]

dorgan:

most of the HD I record is from the standard broadcasters

[22:11:34]

get an ATSC tuner, and youre done

Dagmar:

In part because it's a complete piece of crap

[22:39:12]

Dagmar:

I know it's using the Linux kernel, as well as PAM, and possibly the fingerprint libraries from Linux as wel

[22:39:28]

Dagmar:

The manual and associated documentation mention nothing about this

[22:41:53]

wagnerrp:

they seem to have quite a few lawsuits under their belt

[22:42:02]

cynicismic:

Anyone know much about jamu in 0.22?

[22:42:08]

wagnerrp:

is that just because theres such rampant use of it, theyre an easy side to back?

[22:42:18]

wagnerrp:

cynicismic: what do you want to know

[22:42:30]

Dagmar:

wagnerrp: I think it's a matter of the violations being flagrant

[22:42:35]

cynicismic:

I upgraded to karmic couple of weeks ago and cron is dumping loads of errors from the hourly cron job that runs jamu

[22:42:50]

wagnerrp:

what errors, specifically

[22:42:56]

cynicismic:

getting "Error: There must be a directory for Videos and each graphic type. The (fanartdir) directory is missing."

[22:42:57]

RDV_Linux:

cynicismic: pastbin and example

[22:43:09]

wagnerrp:

well theres your answer

[22:43:18]

wagnerrp:

you need to set up mythvideo for jamu to work properly

[22:43:29]

cynicismic:

I've set those up in mythtvfrontend and in jamu.conf in myth users homedir

[22:43:42]

cynicismic:

directories exist and have correct permissions

[22:43:43]

Dagmar:

rofl

[22:43:47]

Dagmar:

Operating System: Proprietory

[22:43:51]

iamlindoro:

cynicismic: you need to have mythvideo installed on the abckend running jamu, and have in configured there too

[22:44:02]

iamlindoro:

not just a remote frontend

[22:44:19]

RDV_Linux:

cynicismic: I will PM you and we will get this resolved.

programmerq:

mythtv is a upnp server... is that for recordings? mythvideo? both?

[22:51:39]

J-e-f-f-A:

programmerq: Recordings, Videos and Music.

[22:51:53]

programmerq:

sweet

[22:52:18]

J-e-f-f-A:

programmerq: But it doesn't 'transcode', so your upnp player has to be 'compatible' with the video/audio format.

[22:53:14]

programmerq:

but I could transcode ahead of time if needed I'm sure.

[22:53:55]

J-e-f-f-A:

programmerq: Yeah. What were you thinking of using as a player? BTW: The upnp interface is very basic – basically a file browser.

[22:54:32]

J-e-f-f-A:

You get a choice of "Recordings" "Videos" "Music", then By Date, By Title, etc...

[22:54:39]

wagnerrp:

well upnp in general is very basic, its up to the client device to provide the interface

[22:55:44]

programmerq:

xbox360. I'd feel rather silly paying for a new box for running mythfrontend if I can basically watch all the content I'll have in mythtv on what I already have.

[22:55:50]

AndyCap:

I really should try the ps3 again now that I've upgraded to 0.22

[22:55:52]

wagnerrp:

yeah... no good

[22:56:00]

J-e-f-f-A:

wagnerrp: yes and no – You can do html presentation to *most* upnp devices.

[22:56:12]

programmerq:

I'm not sure that the 360 can do h.264 at 1080p

[22:56:12]

wagnerrp:

the xbox360 runs its own blend of upnp

[22:56:38]

Dagmar:

...because clearly, that mechanism isn't yet fucked up enough for Microsoft's tastes

[22:56:51]

wagnerrp:

after helping design the upnp standard, microsoft decided it should burn and make the 360 a media center extender instead

[22:56:55]

J-e-f-f-A:

Dagmar: lol – agreed!

[22:57:15]

wagnerrp:

and no myth dev has decided to write up the necessary changes to the protocol to allow the 360 to detect and connect

[22:57:40]

programmerq:

oh, so I'm not even going to be able to use the 360 for the myth upnp? hmmm.

[22:57:47]

wagnerrp:

no

[22:57:56]

wagnerrp:

technically, you cannot use the 360 for anything upnp

[22:57:59]

Dagmar:

"Damnit! We designed this new protocol with no security mechanisms whatsoever, but we forgot to make it vague and self-contradictory! Quick! Bring in the patching team!"

[22:58:55]

wagnerrp:

thats right, you have been able to get a former upnp server to work, after you switched it into media center mode

[22:59:04]

J-e-f-f-A:

programmerq: Perhaps, but the fact remains that such 'xbox360 compatibility' doesn't exist within Myth's upnp server.

[22:59:10]

wagnerrp:

at which point it is no longer a upnp compliant device

[22:59:18]

wagnerrp:

but rather a media center compliant device

[22:59:21]

Dagmar:

...and wow, I like how they sidestepped home security in Windows 7.

[22:59:28]

programmerq:

so mayble I'll just run the mythtv upnp on one interface, and then xbox360 pseudo-upnp on another network interface.

[22:59:29]

Dagmar:

There doesn't appear to be _any_ facility for a read-only guest share

[23:04:52]

programmerq:

What's everyone's preference for using multiple drives for recordings/music/video?

[23:05:15]

programmerq:

can I add seperate paths to mythtv? or is it just better to do LVM or similar?

[23:05:20]

skd5aner:

Use them with storage groups for video/recordings

[23:05:21]

J-e-f-f-A:

programmerq: I use 6 drives with Storage Groups – everyone is different – it's just TV IMHO.

[23:06:20]

programmerq:

I don't recall the storage groups option, but the last time I set up myth was about two years ago.

[23:06:30]

programmerq:

so I've probably forgotten.

[23:08:06]

J-e-f-f-A:

programmerq: They were new in 0.21 – I like them better than using LVM – because if you have a drive fail, at least you only lose the data on that ONE drive, not the whole LVM.

[23:08:14]

programmerq:

right

[23:08:25]

programmerq:

still has a few limitations from the looks of it (reading up on the wiki)

[23:08:34]

programmerq:

but it definitely looks like a good way to go.

[23:08:58]

programmerq:

I'd like to put my whole DVD collection into myth videos-- especially the kid stuff.

[23:09:01]

J-e-f-f-A:

programmerq: The only one I'm aware of is ISOs – but the good news is you can run a combination of storage groups and 'conventional' list of directories with mythvideo.

[23:09:19]

programmerq:

ISOs and not being able to use an external player.

[23:09:38]

programmerq:

not sure that not being able to use the external player is too much of a disadvantage though-- the internal has always served me well.

[23:09:54]

J-e-f-f-A:

programmerq: Right, but IIRC, you can still use an external player if the video is not in a storage group dir.

[23:10:01]

programmerq:

right

[23:10:14]

J-e-f-f-A:

programmerq: yes, the internal player has come a LONG way. ;-) They've done a great job with it.

[23:11:10]

programmerq:

I definitely want to go and get my acer revo tonight. I'd like to plop mythbuntu on that and another machine for a backend and call it good.

[23:12:52]

programmerq:

I'm 90% confident that the acer revo with the nvidia ion LE will still be able to play back h.264 1080p video in mythtv, but I haven't found a specific confirmation of that fact.
