[00:00:26] MNIchie_: Working with whichever version came with Ubunut Karmic, which said supported this card out of the box.
[00:00:32] devinheitmueller: MNIchie_: and are you running 0.22? Or the svn trunk? Or something else?
[00:00:37] MNIchie_: .22
[00:00:59] devinheitmueller: Yeah, that should be working fine (it was when I ran it a few weeks ago). You doing ATSC or ClearQAM?
[00:01:40] MNIchie_: ClearQAM, and ATSC, no channels have been picked up on either
[00:01:54] devinheitmueller: hmmm....
[00:02:04] devinheitmueller: Have you tried rebooting the PC? Any errors in dmesg?
[00:02:44] MNIchie_: no errors and yes I have rebooted. I can scan and watch TV in kaffeine if that makes any difference in troubleshooting.
[00:02:58] devinheitmueller: Well, that suggest that you've basically got a valid signal.
[00:03:25] devinheitmueller: Did you try increasing the tuning timeout?
[00:03:34] MNIchie_: changed it to 6 secs
[00:03:41] th1_: J-e-f-f-A, Dagmar : Yay problem solved
[00:03:53] devinheitmueller: Sounds like you tried all the obvious stuff.  :-/
[00:03:54] th1_: now it takes 1 second to load Recordings screen
[00:03:56] J-e-f-f-A: MNIchie_: : You have the tuner setup as a DVB tuner in myth, right? ^^ and yeah, increase the timeout, like 15–20 secs...
[00:04:15] J-e-f-f-A: th1_: That's better. ;-)
[00:04:18] th1_: yes
[00:04:31] th1_: it was just wasting time looking for missing files every time
[00:04:34] MNIchie_: J-e-f-f-A: yes DVB:/dev/dvb/adaptor0/frontend0
[00:04:44] devinheitmueller: J-e-f-f-A: shouldn't be needed. With the current code, the xc5000 has one of the fastest locks of all the ATSC/ClearQAM tuners.
[00:05:25] th1_: omg *everything* is massively faster now
[00:05:28] th1_: even live TV
[00:05:39] J-e-f-f-A: devinheitmueller: I couldn't get any 'scan' locks on the 'standard' 950 (non-Qam) without a huge timeout.
[00:05:59] devinheitmueller: Yeah, the older 950 uses a totally different demod and tuner.
[00:06:27] J-e-f-f-A: devinheitmueller: It was the same story with my old HD3000 tuner too.
[00:06:41] devinheitmueller: Most of the drivers are *very* poorly optimized for lock time.
[00:06:54] devinheitmueller: (it's something I've been working on fixing)
[00:07:23] J-e-f-f-A: devinheitmueller: Ah, cool. ;-)
[00:07:53] devinheitmueller: Generally speaking, all of the tuners should lock within 1 second.
[00:08:00] devinheitmueller: (for ATSC/ClearQAM)
[00:08:08] J-e-f-f-A: devinheitmueller: Nice. ;-)
[00:08:18] devinheitmueller: Well, *many* of them are nowhere near that.
[00:08:31] J-e-f-f-A: devinheitmueller: Yeah, understood. ;-)
[00:09:04] devinheitmueller: Anyway, I don't know what MNIchie_'s issue is though. I will have to break out my 950q and see if I can reproduce it.
[00:09:35] MNIchie_: Using the mythtv version that is in the Ubuntu Repos btw
[00:09:41] devinheitmueller: understood.
[00:09:57] devinheitmueller: I built a box with that a couple of days ago, so I can use that.
[00:10:23] devinheitmueller: ... so much for me having a dedicated production system to DVR "The Office".  :-(
[00:11:00] MNIchie_: I saw that LinuxTV is saying NTSC is now supported for this card. Am I suppose to set up a separate capture card for the NTSC portion?
[00:11:32] devinheitmueller: Yeah, the NTSC is supported (in tvtime), and it works in MythTV, but you cannot reliably have the card setup for both digital and analog.
[00:11:52] devinheitmueller: There's some sort of timing bug that mythtv exposes when switching between modes, which locks up the demod.
[00:11:57] devinheitmueller: It's on my todo list.
[00:12:39] MNIchie_: if you happen to know off the top of your head, what is the card type suppose to be for analog?
[00:12:52] devinheitmueller: It's a standard v4l device.
[00:13:10] J-e-f-f-A: ie "lamegrabber" hehehehe...
[00:13:46] devinheitmueller: There's a bug in MythTV though so you need to go into the recording profiles and make sure the capture resolution is 720x480 for all capture modes.
[00:13:48] MNIchie_: its autofilling video device as /dev/video0, but when I use those settings, it will not even let me press the scan button(greyed out)
[00:14:03] devinheitmueller: The channel scanner for analog is disabled in MythTV.
[00:14:08] devinheitmueller: (for all cards)
[00:14:34] devinheitmueller: The channel scanner for analog is completely broken and since the developers didn't have the time to fix it they just disabled it entirely.
[00:14:40] CShadowRun (CShadowRun!n=cshadowr@cshadowrun.com) has left #mythtv-users ("Leaving.")
[00:15:08] MNIchie_: So to add channels to it I...(sorry about all the questions btw)
[00:15:25] kormoc: MNIchie_: schedulesdirect.org
[00:15:40] devinheitmueller: Yeah, the only option is a schedulesdirect.org subscription.
[00:15:51] devinheitmueller: ... and no, it's no a conspiracy...  :-0
[00:15:53] devinheitmueller: :-)
[00:16:15] kormoc: devinheitmueller: that's what they *would* say!
[00:16:20] MNIchie_: I used to have an account, just kinda nervous to reenable for a device that isn't currently working
[00:16:33] devinheitmueller: There is a two week trial.
[00:16:53] devinheitmueller: You can create a new account, get everything working, and then pay for the subscription.
[00:17:01] MNIchie_: well solves that issue. Still miss zap2it though
[00:17:22] devinheitmueller: MNIchie_: feel free to submit patches.  :-)
[00:18:00] MNIchie_: if I figure it out, will do

[00:22:51] TauPan: Hi... I'm currently having trouble getting my new hvr 1300 to work... I managed to download the firmware and figure out that I need /dev/video1 for the mpeg encoded stream with ivtv. And now I get a good picture, and can change channels, but audio (and video, I think) runs too slow and stops after a few seconds.
[00:27:34] Dagmar: Hmm... Icon importer needs a "skip ALL THESE button". Will write ticket later tonight
[00:27:39] th1_: jarle, are you still there?

[01:03:17] abqjp: Dagmar: there is no sticker on the bottom?
[01:03:44] Dagmar: abqjp: It's not that. It's more a matter of I can't see the bottom of the thing from ~12 miles away.
[01:04:02] Dagmar: I forgot to swap which unit the coax was plugged into before I left for work today
[01:04:06] abqjp: Since you got it recently, it is likely to be a rev E2, or some such.

[01:04:42] BobLfoot: I am trying to configure mythweb and keep getting the Apache Test Page not mythweb – what did I mess up? Can some suggest what to check? I don't know apache that well.
[01:04:48] BobLfoot: The system is Fedora12 and everything was installed via yum not from source
[01:04:54] abqjp: Dagmar: why does the rev matter?
[01:05:06] Dagmar: BobLfoot: Did you feed Apache the configuration file for MythWEb?
[01:05:26] Dagmar: abqjp: Apparently C1 units need the firmware loaded into them initially
[01:05:31] Dagmar: ..from Windows
[01:05:43] MNIchie_ (MNIchie_!n=MNIchie@c-76-123-177-235.hsd1.ms.comcast.net) has joined #mythtv-users
[01:05:48] abqjp: Dagmar: true, but C1 units have not been shipped for well over a year.
[01:06:12] Dagmar: While I am using VirtualBox to do ssh exports here onto Windows 7, I'm not really interested in making my life hell by trying to ssh into the myth box and setting up W7 in a virtualbox just to export the screen back here, etc etc
[01:06:28] BobLfoot: Dagmar: I think show, but please elaborate as to what you mean. I have an /etc/httpd/conf.d/mythweb.conf file if that's what you mean

[01:07:01] Dagmar: BobLfoot: Which distro are you using and are you SURE Apache is actually reading that?
[01:07:24] BobLfoot: Dagmar: Fedora12 and myth 0.22 isntalled via yum
[01:07:36] Dagmar: ...and the second half?
[01:08:52] Dagmar: I'll take the silence to mean "I have no idea how to check that."
[01:08:55] BobLfoot: Dagmar: as I said earlier I know very little of Apache. How do we verify it is reading the mythweb.conf file. It's in the proper directory. And it poisnt to the mythweb installation.
[01:09:08] Dagmar: Look in /etc/httpd/httpd.conf
[01:09:25] Dagmar: You will either see a line like this (usually at the bottom) or you won't:
[01:09:27] Dagmar: Include /etc/httpd/conf.d/*.conf
[01:09:41] Dagmar: Without it, nothing in /etc/httpd/conf.d/ will have any effect on MythTV
[01:09:48] Dagmar: If there's *not* one there, you get to add it

[01:10:16] Dagmar: If there is one there, you need to make sure the mythweb.conf file is a) world readable and b) you set the path to where MythWeb is *correctly*
[01:10:38] MNIchie_: I just got a SD subscription and all the analog channels added, but watching live tv does not work. Is there an easy way to myth to give meaningful error message? Tried running it from the terminal, but the only errors was a non descript looking timeout
[01:11:27] kormoc: check the backend log
[01:11:39] BobLfoot: Dagmar: I have an /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf file but no /etc/httpd/httpd.conf
[01:11:54] Dagmar: That'll do

[01:12:35] hipitihop (hipitihop!n=denis@203.132.229.35) has joined #mythtv-users
[01:13:04] Dagmar: Being that your idewa of "directory declaration" and mine may differ, does that mean there's a line that says "include /etc/httpd/conf.d/*.conf" in there?
[01:13:11] xris: BobLfoot: sounds like it's not loading the mythweb config
[01:13:35] xris: I'd recommend reading the INSTALL and README docs that come with mythweb and acting as if you did the install manually
[01:13:59] snarkster: im trying to locate a suitable PCI video card with svideo out.. can someone give me some suggestions
[01:14:21] Dagmar: snarkster: FWIW, nVidia 5200 had a PCI model
[01:14:30] Dagmar: You'll be looking for something around that model number
[01:14:38] snarkster: awesome
[01:14:40] snarkster: thank you
[01:14:56] BobLfoot: Dagmar: and xris I pasted from the conf to http://fpaste.org/N6xT/
[01:15:16] BobLfoot: Dagmar: that way you can see what I am calling a "directory declaration"
[01:15:39] BobLfoot: xris: let me do some reading
[01:15:49] Dagmar: BobLfoot: Okay for future reference when I ask a very specific question about whether or not there's an include statement in a particular file, that's what I want to know about
[01:15:54] Dagmar: Not some other nearly unrelated thing
[01:16:23] Dagmar: Where your mythweb.conf file leaves means NOTHING to apache until it's actually being read in as a config file
[01:16:31] Dagmar: s/leave/lives/;
[01:16:49] BobLfoot: Dagmar: looking for your include statement now
[01:17:02] Dagmar: The stuff you pasted has almost nothing to do with myth
[01:19:19] BobLfoot: Dagmar: found the line Include conf.d/*.conf in the file /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf
[01:22:11] Dagmar: So where is your mythweb.conf file at?
[01:22:59] BobLfoot: Dagmar: /etc/httpd/conf.d/mythweb.conf
[01:23:23] Dagmar: It shoudl be getting read then. You will need to look in that file now
[01:24:01] Dagmar: About 30 lines from the top are some <Directory> sections
[01:24:12] Dagmar: That path MUST be correct, as stated in the README/INSTALL for Mythweb
[01:24:25] BobLfoot: Dagmar: opening /etc/httpd/conf.d/mythweb.conf with editor
[01:29:06] snarkster: is this a suitable card? http://www.newegg.com/Product/ImageGallery.as . . . Video%20Card
[01:29:20] BobLfoot: Dagmar: I appreciate you patience – I have INSTALL from /usr/share/mythweb and /etc/httpd/conf.d/mythweb.conf files both open now. mythweb.conf has <Directory "/usr/share/mythweb"> on line 15 but INSTALL refers to a /var/www/html/data and I'm unsure where Fedora/yum put things when it installed.
[01:30:23] wagnerrp: snarkster: for what purpose?
[01:31:18] wagnerrp: specifically, for what content?
[01:34:01] snarkster: movies
[01:34:19] Dagmar: BobLfoot: Well, you're going to need to find out where the mythweb files got put then
[01:34:22] wagnerrp: let me rephrase... what resolution?
[01:34:38] snarkster: we are on satellite so the mythbox will just be used for encoding my dvd collection and playing internet radio
[01:34:48] snarkster: standard tv resolution
[01:35:12] snarkster: we dont have HD
[01:35:26] wagnerrp: your output is irrelevant, its the resolution of the content
[01:35:29] snarkster: brb
[01:35:32] wagnerrp: which DVD, will run fine over PCI
[01:35:34] wagnerrp: however
[01:35:59] wagnerrp: the svideo output on modern cards is considerably better than that of an aged one like a 5200

[01:36:35] wagnerrp: and a 8400PCI is going to be insignificantly more expensive than a 5200
[01:36:54] Dagmar: They make a PCI 8400?
[01:36:55] MNIchie_: I cannot watch liveTV I've looked through my backend log, whenever I start trying to watch, this appears in the log

[02:00:46] BobLfoot: Dagmar: excellent idea – I'll check the Fedora rpm and see who the packager,maintainer is and file a bug
[02:05:15] snarkster: wagnerrp: true but this machine only has pci slots.
[02:05:51] Dagmar: BobLfoot: This is smarter than you think, since it means hopefully the NEXT time you upgrade maybe they'll actually check their work and ship a working package
[02:06:21] Dagmar: I mean, my mythweb-svn23095-i686–1mythtv.tgz package "just works" and it's for Slackware
[02:06:52] Dagmar: Granted I had to cut a custom apache package just for that conf.d/* thing to work, but the fedora maintainer needs a pinching if he shipped one that didn' work

[02:08:45] Dagmar: BobLfoot: That's fine, it's not shorthand. It's onomatopoeia
[02:10:01] BobLfoot: Dagmar: the plot thickens – mythtv and mythweb are not Fedora components they're from the rpmfusion repo. Diffeent bug reporting method, but I'lls till be doing it.
[02:10:11] Dagmar: BobLfoot: It's rahter likely that once you set the path in mythweb.conf correctly and restart apache you'll be done
[02:10:27] Dagmar: That's pretty much the only thing, and it's all on that one stanza

[02:12:35] Dagmar: It's all explained in MythWeb's install doc.
[02:12:46] Dagmar: ...what little there is to esplain
[02:12:56] BobLfoot: Dagmar: thats /usr/share/mythweb but /usr/share/mythweb/data is an empty directory does that seem right?
[02:13:24] Dagmar: It's generally supposed to be empty
[02:13:32] Dagmar: It'll also need to be slightly writeable
[02:13:40] Dagmar: That's where mythweb sticks the thumbnails it generates
[02:16:06] BobLfoot: Dagmar: ls-l shows drwxrwxr-x for /usr/share/mythweb/data that should be ok – right?
[02:17:23] Dagmar: So long as the group ownership of that directory is the same as the apache httpd you're fine
[02:18:22] BobLfoot: Dagmar: It just can't be easy. Rpmfusion bugzilla needs a security cert to operate. Oh Joy
[02:21:27] BobLfoot: Dagmar: just to confirm http://localhost/mythweb or http://aa.bb.cc.dd/mythweb or http://aa.bb.cc.dd:80/ should launch mythweb if configured properly and aa.bb.cc.dd is my mythbackend / mythweb box rights?
[02:21:42] BobLfoot: *right ! rights
[02:22:10] Dagmar: BobLfoot: if it's configured as the install/readme suggest so that it's basically the only thing apache cares about, you don't need the /mythweb part on the URL

[03:08:20] RDV_Linux: bubba_: What is the issue?
[03:08:31] iamlindoro: suprsonic, your splitter is not removing audio
[03:08:52] iamlindoro: video and audio are multiplexed together in digital cable-- you cannot get one without the other
[03:08:55] bubba_: RDV_Linux: It's having a hard time updating the database after I've moved to a new system
[03:09:06] bubba_: RDV_Linux: One sec for the exact error
[03:09:20] suprsonic: iamlindoro: its really odd, cause when I unplug the cable for a quick second and put it back in there is sound, then it goes off.
[03:09:44] suprsonic: sometimes its only the background music of a show, but no words
[03:09:54] iamlindoro: suprsonic, indicates that the audio stream is broken in some way, but the split isn't what's breaking it
[03:10:07] RDV_Linux: bubba_: Along with the error (pastbin please) I wan to know 0.22 or trunk, what jamu version and if you are using Mythbuntu or not.

[03:13:04] bubba_: typo
[03:13:12] BobLfoot: The Fedora "out of box" setup for mythweb in F12 isn't working. I've pasted my /etc/httpd/conf.d/mythweb.conf file to http://fpaste.org/fhaf and the output of locate mythweb to http://fpaste.org/OU14/. I'm stumped as to where it might be broken. I've read the INSTALL and README and spent time here earlier tonight to no avail so far.
[03:13:14] RDV_Linux: bubba_: What I am referring to is that jamu does only requires read-only permission to the video directories unless you are trying to move a video file.
[03:13:15] bubba_: RDV_Linux: http://pastebin.com/f2685606d
[03:13:32] J-e-f-f-A: bubba_: lots of typos – iamlindoro was trying to tell you that...
[03:13:44] kormoc: BobLfoot: and what happens when you go to the ip?

[03:17:57] RDV_Linux: bubba_: Yes please update the script as as the persmisions change was made in v0.5.9 but you want the latest for 0.22+fixes which is v0.6.0
[03:19:48] BobLfoot: kormoc : tail /var/log/httpd/error_log shows File does not exit /var/www/html/mythweb
[03:19:56] BobLfoot: *exist !exit
[03:20:26] kormoc: So verify that config is even being loaded?

[03:22:24] RDV_Linux: bubba_: Never felt ignored I need four hand and multiple keyboards tonight;)
[03:22:33] BobLfoot: kormoc: went thru where the config is with Dagmar earlier. And from what we could tell it was in the proper folder to be loaded. Is there another way to confirm loading?
[03:23:03] kormoc: BobLfoot: I'm sure there is, but I don't know offhand what it'd be. Perhaps checking google or apache's docs
[03:23:43] bubba_: RDV_Linux, OK, I think it's working now
[03:23:51] RDV_Linux: bubba_: The latest version of jamu has a new display of the video and image directories it will use. Just run jamu with the -MVf option and the new display is at the very top of the output
[03:24:04] BobLfoot: kormoc: the real killer here is that mythweb.conf is pointing to /usr/share/mythweb not the /var/www/html/mythweb
[03:24:18] bubba_: RDV_Linux, one other problem that I was having before is that jamu was finding everything for the TV shows, but not the movies
[03:24:33] kormoc: because the top of mythweb.conf aliases /var/www/html/mythweb to point to /user/share/mythweb
[03:24:33] bubba_: RDV_Linux, I'll have to confirm that same problem when this jamu run is complete
[03:24:48] bubba_: RDV_Linux, any suggestions on common reasons?
[03:24:50] MNIchie_: ok, officially lost here. I can't get mythtv to play live tv or record. I have the hauppauge 950Q (which says it is supported). If anyone has any hints on this please share
[03:25:22] RDV_Linux: bubba_: That could only be one of two things the movie file naming convention cannot be parsed by jamu or TMDB was having issues.
[03:26:15] RDV_Linux: bubba_: If it happens again then I would need a specific video file name to look at and/or try locally.
[03:26:32] bubba_: RDV_Linux, I couldn't imagine the movie names being bad.. they're named the title of the move...
[03:26:39] bubba_: RDV_Linux, yeah, this is a bad report
[03:26:55] bubba_: RDV, let me see if I can get a run with a movie file to fail and I'll get back to you
[03:27:01] bubba_: RDV_Linux, , let me see if I can get a run with a movie file to fail and I'll get back to you

[03:33:30] bubba_: RDV_Linux, most files I could just do the "update metadata" menu selection and everything was fine
[03:33:54] RDV_Linux: bubba_: The issue is that the video's in MythVideo do not have reference numbers, Try rerunning kamu with the -MGV options and Jamu will guess at the right movies then run with the -MIV options to interactively select the movies that jamu could not guess at.
[03:34:19] RDV_Linux: s/kamu/jamu/

[03:57:12] RDV_Linux: bubba_: Yes run jamu -MIV to do an interactive session and clean up the last ones. It may take some time totally depended on how many are left.
[03:57:54] bubba_: RDV_Linux, hmm... seems to be hung
[03:59:08] RDV_Linux: bubba_: I have no idea how responsive TMDB and TVDB are so as I said it can take some time.
[03:59:45] bubba_: RDV_Linux, gotcha... I don't see any children of the jamu process
[04:00:00] bubba_: RDV_Linux, I will be patient

[04:05:54] BobLfoot (BobLfoot!n=Bob@fedora/BobLfoot) has left #mythtv-users ()
[04:05:55] bubba_: it records all channels that I pay for, except one
[04:06:13] bubba_: Speedy2, it records all channels that I pay for, except one (Fox HD)
[04:06:29] bubba_: Speedy2, is there a way to determine if the channel is encryped or not
[04:06:39] Speedy2: Does it have firewire?
[04:06:47] Speedy2: What's the model number?
[04:07:42] bubba_: yes, I'm recording over firewire
[04:08:00] Dagmar: Encryption is probably why it didn't record that then
[04:08:15] bubba_: ctb-6200, I'm not sure where it is on the stb... lemme double check
[04:08:15] Speedy2: But you can probably get FoxHD via ATSC
[04:08:31] bubba_: Speedy2, ATSC == antenna?
[04:08:40] bubba_: Speedy2, OTA
[04:09:10] Speedy2: ATSC == OTA == antenna
[04:09:15] bubba_: Speedy2, I have had limited success with antennas... I am in a condo
[04:09:18] Speedy2: hrm
[04:09:24] Speedy2: You want a great solution?
[04:09:36] bubba_: I would love a _great_ solution
[04:09:39] Speedy2: Run the center conductor to some large piece of metal and hook it with an alligator clip
[04:09:48] Speedy2: That works magically for me.
[04:10:21] Speedy2: Just make sure it's not AC
[04:10:23] bubba_: Speedy2, thanks for the tip, I will do that if I can't get FW to work

[04:10:42] bubba_: Speedy2, I'm not entirely sure how to hook ATSC into my PC though
[04:10:49] bubba_: Speedy2, anyway I can find that out on my own
[04:10:52] Speedy2: bubba_: You can buy a USB/ATSC adapter for pretty cheap.
[04:10:57] Dagmar: Yep
[04:11:02] Dagmar: ATSC isn't real hard
[04:11:19] bubba_: Speedy2, that would be nice too because then I could have a secondary tuner (on some channels) for free! (nearly free)
[04:11:29] wagnerrp: s/adapter/tuner/
[04:11:34] Speedy2: bubba_: You could have several of the USB/ATSC adapters for not much $$
[04:11:52] bubba_: Speedy2, very true, if your solution works for me :)
[04:12:05] Dagmar: wagnerrp: My first HD-PVR recording, one hour, 1.6Gb. Welll... I *tried* to get it to work in a hurry. heh
[04:12:40] bubba_: Speedy2, where the heck is this model number on the 6200?
[04:12:42] Speedy2: bubba_: Try to clip to something like a window frame (as an example)

[04:13:32] bubba_: Speedy2, can I determine if the channel is encrypted?
[04:13:43] Speedy2: The cable company can mark certain channels " high value" so it won't send it across Firewire without encryption (5C)
[04:13:45] Dagmar: yep. hit up the wiki for "5c"
[04:13:50] Dagmar: There's a way to tell
[04:14:00] bubba_: Speedy2, I had problems with other channels before and I changed the speed of the FW port
[04:14:10] Dagmar: ...and it's not a "high value" thing.
[04:14:14] bubba_: now everything is rocking except that one channel
[04:14:16] Speedy2: Are you using a VIA IEEE-1394?
[04:14:29] Speedy2: Dagmar: That's the name cable companies use.
[04:14:30] bubba_: how would I check
[04:14:31] Speedy2: phrase.
[04:14:35] Dagmar: It's flat out a matter of "This channel is broadcast by someone who is a member of the Five Company Copyright Cartel"
[04:14:37] Speedy2: bubba_: lspci
[04:14:58] Speedy2: Dagmar: 5C inclues people like Intel . 5C is the encryption standard, not broadcasters.
[04:15:05] Dagmar: Speedy2: Yes, well, if I believed everything the cable company people say, I'd be in line for a lobotomy
[04:15:20] Speedy2: I'm not talking about their customer service people.

[04:16:00] bubba_: I had to call my cable company to get them to enable the FW port
[04:16:01] Speedy2: 5C is the encryption standard.
[04:16:08] Speedy2: But Comcast is not part of 5C.
[04:16:13] Speedy2: (for example)
[04:16:24] bubba_: really?
[04:16:29] bubba_: Comcast is my provider
[04:16:32] Speedy2: I know
[04:16:45] Speedy2: Comcast is not a company involved in the development of 5C. But they use it.
[04:16:50] Speedy2: (on your firewire link)
[04:17:21] bubba_: hipitihop, the nvidia driver and the mythtv startup scripts would be unrelated
[04:17:38] bubba_: hipitihop, what distro are you using?
[04:18:57] hipitihop: bubba_, that would make sense, but why suddenly after last update-manager update/upgrade and then disable of nvidia 185 and enable of nvidia 195, is ther enow no backend or frontend starting up and conctrol center complains about dependencies ?
[04:19:27] [R]: hipitihop: what does the log say?
[04:19:30] Speedy2: bubba_: The TI IC might be the one inside the STB. Sounds like Agere is your IEEE controller.

[04:19:51] bubba_: hipitihop, it's likely the update-manager upgrade did something and not the graphics driver update
[04:20:04] bubba_: hipitihop, which version of Linux are you running?
[04:20:21] hipitihop: ubuntu 9.10
[04:20:40] hipitihop: checking mythbackend.log
[04:21:53] hipitihop: hmm nothing really there
[04:21:53] bubba_: hipitihop, ugh... I'm not sure what ubuntu uses for "services"
[04:22:07] bubba_: hipitihop, can you start them manually?
[04:22:33] bubba_: hipitihop, is it just that you can't start them on boot
[04:22:59] bubba_: hipitihop, what is the dependency that is complained about?
[04:23:28] bubba_: RDV_Linux, 10 minutes+ in interactive mode with no prompt
[04:23:33] hipitihop: bubba_, after the first reboot and noticing frontend didn't start I went to menus and it wasn't there either... control center still there and when I checked it had "no back end" and "no frontend" and complained about dependencies when I tried to enable both
[04:24:00] hipitihop: wasn't specific about dependencies
[04:24:28] bubba_: hipitihop, I would probably suggest re-installing mythfrontend and backend... I'm really not an expert though so I wouldn't know exactly how to do that cleanly
[04:24:45] RDV_Linux: bubba_: Kill jamu with a few ctrl+c's in a row. The see is the tvdb and tmdb web sites are responsive.

[04:25:15] hipitihop: bubba_, eek, I trust that means my existing re recordings are safe
[04:25:45] bubba_: hipitihop, that you can check with 'ls /var/lib/mythtv/recordings/'
[04:26:11] hipitihop: bubba_, just in the middle of switching from the 195 to 190 and if that doesn't work then I switch back to 185 and then see what I can enable
[04:26:18] RDV_Linux: bubba_: The responsive test is not always a perfect indicator as there are caching sites but it may reveal something. Try the -MIV at a later time.

[04:27:50] hipitihop: what log should I look at to see what happened in the last update-manager run ?
[04:28:06] RDV_Linux: bubba_: both sites are also good for me. So I really can add not more assuming you actually got updates on the -MGV run as it is really the same code.
[04:28:38] bubba_: RDV_Linux, hmm... I can update them through the mythvideo UI
[04:28:50] bubba_: RDV_Linux, does it use the same backend as the script?
[04:29:41] RDV_Linux: bubba_: I am not sure what you are referring to with the "backend" question. Jamu only runs on a backend.
[04:30:34] bubba_: RDV_Linux, what I mean is whatever code is used behind the mythvideo UI
[04:30:35] RDV_Linux: bubba_: If you have multiple myth BE's you need to run Jamu on each of them that have video files.
[04:30:45] bubba_: RDV_Linux, single backend
[04:31:05] bubba_: RDV_Linux, What I'm asking is- Does mythvideo's UI use jamu?
[04:31:18] bubba_: RDV_Linux, or do they share some code that pulls the info/art?
[04:31:29] bubba_: RDV_Linux, or are they independent?
[04:31:39] RDV_Linux: bubba_: No Jamu is seperate code then what MythVideo uses. Although the grabber some of the grabber code is shared.
[04:31:57] bubba_: RDV_Linux, gotcha, because the UI works, but jamu is hanging
[04:32:36] bubba_: RDV_Linux, was just curious
[04:32:54] RDV_Linux: bubba_: If -MGV worked then I have no idea what the issue may be. The issue you describe is a first for me.
[04:33:20] RDV_Linux: bubba_: Are you running jamu remotely?
[04:33:26] bubba_: RDV_Linux, interesting
[04:33:43] bubba_: RDV_Linux, the ^C commands never succeeded
[04:33:52] bubba_: RDV_Linux, yes, I'm generally sshing into the system
[04:34:06] bubba_: RDV_Linux, I could try through VNC
[04:34:29] bubba_: RDV_Linux, nevermind, last ^C did cancel now
[04:35:00] RDV_Linux: bubba_: I only ask as the issue seems seems to be an interface one rather than a processing issue. I may be you are not seeing the interface displayed and it is waiting for a response from you.
[04:35:36] bubba_: RDV_Linux, that is a good lead, but usually scripts don't have that type of behavior from my experiece
[04:35:48] RDV_Linux: bubba_: I am not familiar enough with ssh to help you on this one.
[04:35:51] bubba_: RDV_Linux, also, ssh is pretty solid
[04:36:00] bubba_: RDV_Linux, I will try from VNC anyway

[04:38:21] Dagmar: ssh should behave no differently from telnet
[04:38:47] bubba_: VNC->open terminal seems hung on jamu MIV too
[04:39:02] bubba_: hipitihop, this looks really bad too: 2010-01–15 13:09:56 remove mythtv 0.22.0+fixes22594–0ubuntu1 0.22.0+fixes22594–0ubuntu1
[04:40:33] hipitihop: bubba_, indeed

[04:40:51] bubba_: hipitihop, when I search that file for 'mythtv' I only see "remove" and "status" lines and never "installed"

[04:45:48] bubba_: hipitihop, and then try to re-install
[04:46:08] bubba_: hipitihop, it's possible that the "remove" operation wiped out your database (I really don't know)

[05:15:35] [R]: space is free... as soon as i fix my usb... im gonna do everything at max cbr

[05:18:38] Dagmar: abqjp: ooh! You wouldn't happen to know a more "meaningful" translation of 0xf firmware would you?
[05:20:41] abqjp: Dagmar: you have the latest firmware.
[05:21:59] abqjp: Dagmar: woops, no you don't. The latest firmware shows up as 0x12.

[05:24:37] MNIchie_: Can somebody go through their mythbackend log and tell me if this is normal, the channel this was actually on was channel 2. No idea why it is saying 1002(livetv/recording is also not working). "Finished recording Jimmy Kimmel Live: channel 1002"
[05:25:07] Dagmar: abqjp: Yeah but I'm just going to have to load the software on my W7 box and upgrade blindly at the rate things are doing
[05:25:23] Dagmar: er going. I've found no correlation to actual decimal versions
[05:25:34] [R]: MNIchie_: 1002 is the channel id in the database
[05:25:46] abqjp: MNIchie_: the 1000 part is the "line up".
[05:26:35] MNIchie_: hoped I had found my error, back the drawing board
[05:26:38] abqjp: MNIchie_: if you had two schedule direct line-ups (OTA, and Satellite for example), you could have 1002 and 2002 to represent channel two on the different soruces.

[05:28:28] abqjp: Dagmar: however, that rare lock-up can brick the HD-PVR, so don't wait too long to update.
[05:28:55] Dagmar: Yeah I'll be doing an update to it tonight
[05:29:24] Dagmar: Especially after hearing that
[05:29:52] Dagmar: I just lost a 500Gb Seagate because of an "eventual self-destruct firmware bug" that gave me JUST enough warning to backup my data
[05:32:16] abqjp: Dagmar: I have never actually talked to anyone that had that lock up happen to them, but Hauppauge said that was one of the things fixed, so....

[08:28:17] justinh: see after all the fuss made about compiz etc, linux desktop environments still mostly hurt
[08:29:08] Tanthrix: k_ross: It's new to me as well. I've been using Arch for my myth box for 3 years now.
[08:29:24] justinh: what makes people change distro I wonder?
[08:29:38] k_ross: the gnome/metacity/nautilus combo does seem fairly 90's compared to modern commercial OS's
[08:29:43] Tanthrix: For me, it was Arch's rolling release. You basically had to update weekly, or you'd get left behind and be screwed.

[08:30:01] justinh: I've been going off ubuntu for ages, but then I'm not exactly a fan of linux. Or computers
[08:30:05] Tanthrix: My myth box has worked more or less perfectly for 3 years now, and it was precisely because I never touched it.
[08:30:17] k_ross: long time debian user here. going on 10 years. didn't want to switch just for mythtv

[08:30:29] Tanthrix: Finally went to upgrade myth so I could get an HD-PVR, needed qt4, but I couldn't install it due to the fact I was so out of date.
[08:31:47] justinh: yeah if I want qt4 on my current backend I'll have to build it myself
[08:31:51] justinh: by that rationale I might aswell be on slack or gentoo
[08:31:53] justinh: either that or dist-upgrade :-\
[08:31:56] justinh: change the whole distro just for some packages? MEH
[08:32:15] k_ross: debian is pretty lean, pulse audio hasn't infected it yet.
[08:32:47] justinh: that's another annoyance. the kernel changes when you upgrade too, which on a perfectly working system can be a worry
[08:33:23] justinh: then pulseaudio GRRR, stuff being moved around.. show me an incentive to upgrade :)
[08:33:29] k_ross: well glad you got your video tear-free. good night all

[08:34:16] Tanthrix: Is Ubuntu using pulse these days?
[08:34:21] justinh: totally
[08:34:34] justinh: they're 100% behind it
[08:35:05] Tanthrix: I wonder why I get no audio with mplayer then using -ao pulse. And if I don't do that, I get access denied for accesing /dev/dsp.
[08:35:12] justinh: I think part of the reasoning is, get it in front of as many users as possible, have many bugs reports & squished
[08:35:23] Tanthrix: Makes sense, to some extent.
[08:35:33] justinh: not from a user's PoV ;-)
[08:35:41] Tanthrix: True enough..
[08:36:17] justinh: I found it 'works' out of the box & mythfrontend just suspended it when it was open. fair enough
[08:36:38] justinh: but generally audio playback was very laggy using pA
[08:39:00] justinh: flash games & system sounds coming out half a second late, that sort of thing

[08:39:35] justinh: fix for all PA issues.. DISABLE IT :D

[08:53:18] Tanthrix: justinh: You want to know bitterness? 8 hours yesterday after installing my new GT 220 in my 3 year old, perfectly working myth system the motherboard died.
[08:53:37] Speedy2: How'd the MB die?
[08:54:22] Tanthrix: Don't know. I was watching Conan live ish and the signal appeared to have serious issues. All kinds of errors, damaged stream, etc..
[08:54:35] Speedy2: Did you run memtest86+ on it?
[08:54:48] Speedy2: That's a positive indicator of CPU/chipset/voltage regulation
[08:55:11] Tanthrix: Figured I had a bad cable from all that moving the system around, but that wasn't it. So I shut the system down, rebooted, no luck. I then removed my AverTV card, reseated it, booted up, and I haven't been able to get it to stay up for more than 5 minutes since then.
[08:55:27] justinh: ow

[08:55:56] Speedy2: CPU fan loose?
[08:55:57] Tanthrix: When it's cold, it runs for about 5 minutes. Strangly though, if I try and go into the bios, it says it's password protected. This is despite my resetting the BIOS and flashing it with the latest update.
[08:55:59] hipitihop: Any aussie users here that have ABC iView intergated ?
[08:56:22] Tanthrix: But after 5 minutes, it will die. Then if I turn it back on, it quits immediately after 5–10 seconds until it cools down again.
[08:56:40] Speedy2: What CPU?
[08:56:45] Tanthrix: Tried every conceivable hail mary thing I could to get it up and running, stripped it down to nothing but the PSU / mobo, tried swapping the PSU
[08:57:01] Tanthrix: E4400 Core 2 Duo. But that's not it, since I have that in my new system now and it's working fine.

[08:58:15] Tanthrix: Or bulging.
[08:58:15] justinh: weird
[08:58:17] Speedy2: What brand MB?
[08:58:17] justinh: I had a bunch of bad issues with my current backend before christmas. turned out to be crud on the ram contacts
[08:58:17] Speedy2: Any loose pieces of metal?
[08:58:41] Tanthrix: Indeed. It almost seems like a thermal sensor got fried, so it's killing it off to "save" it. But that doesn't explain the BIOS password, which I have never in my life set, and even if I had, which should have been killed off with the numerous bios resets and the two flashing.
[08:58:41] Tanthrix: MSI brand.
[08:58:46] Tanthrix: No loose metal, checked very carefully.
[08:59:16] Speedy2: Video card is PCI-E?
[08:59:30] Tanthrix: Oh! The one strange thing that happened was the system came on for a second while I was reinserting the AverTV card, way back before this issue occured. I am certain I did not push the power button.
[08:59:47] Tanthrix: Yes, but I also tried a PCI video card. Same deal.
[09:00:27] justinh: I unplug the PSU while I'm doing stuff like that
[09:00:28] Tanthrix: justinh: I also moved the ram from their current slots to the two opposing slots. And I reseated the CPU
[09:00:46] justinh: got a special grounding plug :)
[09:00:47] Speedy2: Yes
[09:00:52] Speedy2: PCI is always powered on
[09:00:56] Speedy2: ALWAYS UNPLUG POWER
[09:01:37] Tanthrix: Never done that in 10 years of being a computer tech without any issues occuring, but I'm willing to change my ways.
[09:01:40] justinh: that it caused the damage you've seen is unlikely but possible
[09:01:49] Tanthrix: Aye.
[09:02:10] Speedy2: PCI 2.2+ has pins routed to it allowing wake-on-lan
[09:02:17] Speedy2: Pulling the PCI card or inserting one simulates this
[09:02:20] justinh: like the guys who never take ESD precautions never run into any problems. Until they do ;-)
[09:02:30] Speedy2: Also to support WoL it provides power to PCI devices
[09:02:31] Speedy2: (sometimes)
[09:02:43] Tanthrix: justinh: Hehe. Well, that's part of the reason I kept plugged in so the system was still grounded. But really, just laziness.
[09:03:17] justinh: I've been lazy before too. shortened the life of many a HDD probably by just letting stuff dangle by their cables
[09:03:34] justinh: bah I'll mount them properly when it's all installed :D
[09:03:38] Tanthrix: hehe
[09:05:07] Tanthrix: In any event, I'm thinking about buying another mobo once I get my new myth box setup. Cold spare.
[09:05:07] justinh: course since SATA I'm more likely to do a proper job since those connectors will barely support the weight of a drive

[09:06:02] Speedy2: Downgrade to a much older vesion
[09:06:03] Speedy2: version
[09:06:05] Speedy2: see if it takes
[09:06:05] Tanthrix: But it's clearly thermally related too, since it runs for 5 minutes cold, and 5–10 seconds hot. Repeatable.
[09:06:18] Speedy2: Did you try touching to chips?
[09:06:26] Speedy2: To see if anything was absurdly hot?
[09:06:32] Speedy2: Do it when you're grounded, it's safe.
[09:06:34] Tanthrix: Speedy2: Aye, and everything felt good.
[09:06:39] justinh: there's not really any point in that
[09:06:45] Speedy2: ?
[09:07:03] justinh: unless you've got some serious contacts in component sourcing you won't be able to replace much

[09:07:36] Tanthrix: If only it were bad caps...I've replaced the caps on 5 boards now with full success.
[09:07:51] justinh: could be a dodgy vcore regulator I guess
[09:07:56] justinh: those aren't too hard to get hold of
[09:08:09] Speedy2: Tanthrix: I'd suggest putting a really old BIOS in. Also check the BIOS's fan/temp numbers to see if anything is out of whack
[09:08:11] Speedy2: leave it there the entire time.
[09:08:15] Tanthrix: I've already spent so much time on it, I'm done. Too much woe and bitterness in my heart.
[09:08:16] justinh: or a PSU supervisor chip..
[09:08:18] Speedy2: watch it.
[09:08:29] Tanthrix: Speedy2: The issue is that I can't get into the BIOS, because of the password.
[09:08:49] Speedy2: Is the BIOS socketed?
[09:08:59] justinh: they never are these days
[09:09:11] justinh: not in the last 10 years or so AFAIK
[09:09:21] Tanthrix: Speedy2: I could try downgrading, but I can't see why that would do any good. And no, it's not I'm afraid.
[09:09:26] justinh: they never have the room for a PLCC socket anyways
[09:10:15] Speedy2: Tanthrix: There are other programs you can try to re-write the bIOS flash
[09:10:17] Speedy2: I used one the other night
[09:10:18] Speedy2: one sec
[09:11:25] Speedy2: Uniflash
[09:12:32] Tanthrix: Speedy2: After spending so many hours on this, doing so many hail mary things, I am done. Too much woe and bitterness in my heart to every look at it again. I think I can say with 99 percent certainty that it is dead.
[09:12:36] Tanthrix: Well, I flashed it twice with the provided utility – each time it went though and did everything without issue, as near as I can tell.
[09:12:46] Speedy2: Tanthrix: Send the MB to me :)
[09:13:56] Tanthrix: Speedy2: Hehe...I could have used you the other night. You've got the same spunk that I *had* before the woe set in.
[09:15:56] Speedy2: I can understand
[09:16:39] Speedy2: I recently got an ITE PCI-IDE card. I tried to update it's BIOS. It took quite a bit of work for me to figure out what was wrong, but finally I got it.
[09:17:56] justinh: reminds me I should put a bootable USB stick together with something DOS-like on it
[09:18:16] justinh: I chucked my last floppy drive out a *long* time ago

[09:41:12] Dibblah: GT220 is pretty much the lowest power.
[09:41:27] Speedy2: Dibblah: Do you know the power numbers at idle ?

[09:47:45] justinh: a bit high?!
[09:47:45] Tanthrix: Newegg sucks. The very day I recieve my GT 220 with 512MB of memory, they offer the same card with 1GB for the same price I paid for half.
[09:47:50] Speedy2: Did you contact them?
[09:47:55] Speedy2: Sometimes they will fix it for you.
[09:48:13] Speedy2: justinh: You think 8W is good? At idle?

[09:48:52] Tanthrix: Newegg? They're no Amazon.com. I think they'd tell me to fuck off.
[09:48:58] Speedy2: Dibblah: Were you talking total system consumption at idle or just GPU at idle?
[09:49:03] Speedy2: Tanthrix: Sometimes they are decent.
[09:49:29] justinh: Speedy2: take an fx5200 at idle – bet it's way more than 8W anyway
[09:49:30] Dibblah: You're kidding, right?
[09:49:41] Tanthrix: I suppose it couldn't hurt to try, though I don't think having 1GB vs 512MB will make any difference for myth and vdpau.
[09:49:42] Dibblah: GPU.
[09:49:51] Speedy2: <justinh> IIRC that's system idle not just GPU
[09:50:00] Dibblah: Tanthrix: It can with the hungrier themes.
[09:50:12] Dibblah: Speedy2: You need to measure some.
[09:50:27] Dibblah: 8w for full system is not going to happen on anything x86 based.
[09:50:49] Dibblah: Even ION based systems are ~20w.
[09:50:59] Tanthrix: Dibblah: Hrm. I just use the default – think it would matter then?
[09:52:29] Speedy2: Dibblah: One can always dream .
[09:52:29] Dibblah: Try it with the theme you use.
[09:52:31] justinh: 8 Watts is bugger all anyway
[09:52:31] Dibblah: Speedy2: Most standard frontends will be about 60w from the wall.
[09:52:31] justinh: considering what they can pull full tilt
[09:54:24] Speedy2: 60W sounds right. Just wondering why at idle the GPU is blowing 8W, it should be able to bring all the clocks way down at idle. Most STB SoCs don't even use 8W full-tilt. But they are not x86 or GPU shader architecture.
[09:54:30] justinh: Tanthrix: with any theme using fanart etc, budget way more than 1GB RAM

[10:16:25] Dibblah: STB SoCs are custom designed for only video decoding.
[10:16:25] Dibblah: So are a completely different animal.
[10:16:56] Dibblah: They don't use grub.
[10:16:58] justinh: prolly have way less gates too
[10:17:25] Dibblah: (grub2 is essentially a complete rewrite)
[10:17:26] justinh: not many STB SoCs need massive heatsinks either :)
[10:17:35] Speedy2: I'm comparing a modern SoC with everything and the kitchen-sink vs. nVidia GPU that has dedicated video decode circutry wondering why nVidia can't bring the same features with much less power
[10:17:39] justinh: well whatever, I hate that they use grub2
[10:17:57] Speedy2: SInce the video decode logic is theoretically done in hardware. But maybe it's macro-coded to use shaders and what not.
[10:18:00] Dibblah: Speedy2: It also has dedicated 3d hardware.
[10:18:14] Dibblah: But most of the decode is _not_ in custom hardware.
[10:18:36] Dibblah: Anyway, the power consumption comes from the number of ungated gates.
[10:18:54] Speedy2: I was under the impression they had dedicated logic to do it, but it would make perfect sense if they used 3D hardware to do it
[10:18:59] Dibblah: ie the gates that are always powered.
[10:19:17] Speedy2: Well power consumption is related to many things, including capacitance, switching frequency, leakage
[10:19:22] Dibblah: AFAIK, there is a very small amount of silicon dedicated to video decode.
[10:19:22] Speedy2: voltage
[10:19:51] justinh: for the price of the hardware I don't think we should grumble much
[10:19:54] Dibblah: You're talking primarily about leakage in a idle GPU.
[10:20:18] Dibblah: Yup. For general purpose hardware, 8w is insanely low.

[10:21:07] justinh: like I said. not exactly tripping over solutions :)
[10:21:42] justinh: now there IS a low power hardware decoder, that mini PCIe effort

[10:23:49] justinh: still relies on a binary blob of firmware but you can't have the moon on a stick
[10:24:18] Dibblah: There are far, far worse companies than broadcom.

[11:21:28] Tanthrix: loki_666: What's your angle? If you just want to cut commercials without losing quality, a lossless transcode will work just fine in myth.

[11:35:47] Tanthrix: Abo: What user are you running mythbackend and mythfrontend as?
[11:36:50] Tanthrix: Whatever user that is, it needs to have a proper mysql.txt file in its home directory in a .mythtv folder
[11:37:26] Tanthrix: That file contains the address for the sql server (most likely localhost for you) and the login, password, and database name for myth.

[11:39:06] Abo: Tanthrix: as mythtv I think.
[11:39:07] Tanthrix: So, if you run mythbackend/mythfrontend from a user called Abo, you need to copy and paste the info from that wiki into /home/abo/.mythtv/mysql.txt and modify the login/password etc.. accordingly.
[11:40:40] Tanthrix: Abo: mythtv looks right, that's what it's saying in the pastebin. So follow the steps in that wiki there to create a /home/mythtv/.mythtv/mysql.txt file, make the database, etc..
[11:40:48] Tanthrix: Abo: I've got to run, but best of luck to you.

[14:43:31] gbee: it's not the theme ... but without a backtrace this discussion is pointless
[14:43:51] justinh: the error I saw him talk about was it not being able to find a theme image
[14:43:58] gbee: not really prepared to help people avoid segfaults, that's selfish, fixing them is more important
[14:44:07] gbee: justinh: yeah, won't cause a crash

[14:44:33] justinh: like I said, shouldn't – but it could indicate another problem
[14:44:36] gbee: and I see the same error all the time because it's missing from Terra
[14:44:39] Abo: justinh: does the same thing with two other themes.
[14:45:01] justinh: Abo: so you need to get into debugging mode then
[14:45:19] justinh: either grab a package of mythtv built for debugging support, or build it yourself
[14:45:29] justinh: this kind of stuff needs to be reported & looked into
[14:45:30] Abo: justinh: how do I that? get into debugging mode?
[14:45:56] ivor: Abo: you've really got to devote a bit of time to reading through the docs linked earlier.
[14:46:01] ivor: it'll help you out a lot.
[14:46:13] Abo: gbee: was the page you pointed me to the "build-it-yourself?"
[14:46:32] justinh: it's a PITA for new users (or indeed anybody) to have to do this but it'll benefit everybody
[14:47:05] ivor: Abo: also worth getting a coffee and a snack and reading through http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Debugging

[14:49:07] j-rod: :)
[14:49:14] _ben: er
[14:49:16] wagnerrp: 100GbE doesnt even exist as a standard yet does it?
[14:49:17] justinh: Abo: mythtv.org, in the documentation is a section on fault finding
[14:49:19] _ben: s/channel/cheaper
[14:49:38] j-rod: no 100GbE yet, no
[14:49:47] justinh: Abo: some distros helpfully package mythtv with debugging enabled, all ready to go
[14:49:55] j-rod: at least, I ain't seen any drivers for any 100GbE NICs yet...
[14:50:02] justinh: no idea if those are actually any use though...
[14:50:11] wagnerrp: you could do 8x infiniband though... 40Gbps
[14:50:11] j-rod: have seen way too many 10GbE ones though
[14:50:30] j-rod: true, and ipoib
[14:50:36] wagnerrp: or is it 4x QDR thats 40gbps
[14:50:58] justinh: you might also need faster HDDs ;-)
[14:51:00] j-rod: I used to have to care about infiniband and myrinet. quite happy being ignorant of it now.
[14:51:31] wagnerrp: was looking through that a bit yesterday, looking for hardware upgrades at work
[14:51:47] j-rod: ah memories. had a 256-port myrinet switch overnighted to my house, arriving black friday one year
[14:51:50] Abo: justinh: I am looking http://www.mythtv.org/docs/mythtv-HOWTO-22.html#ss22.2 which gbee pointed me to and the one ivor just sent this pages are confusing to me.

[14:52:22] j-rod: turned out to be a software problem in the switch firmware
[14:52:22] justinh: Abo: which distro are you running? I think there are debug packages for mythtv for ubuntu
[14:52:25] wagnerrp: but switching to i7s, and possible multi-proc i7s.... gigabit just wont cut it
[14:52:34] Abo: justinh: isn't there a apt-get install kind of thing and then I can have compiler like app that can step through problem?
[14:52:54] Abo: justinh: Ubuntu Karmic (9.10)
[14:53:09] justinh: Abo: if you can get packages built with debug support as far as I know you just then need to run mythfrontend through gdb like the howto describes
[14:53:42] justinh: but then, compiling mythtv & the plugins isn't that hard
[14:54:30] Abo: justinh: don't understand the last get packages with gdb support. How would I know if the packages have it or not?
[14:54:43] justinh: I think they're listed in apt

[14:59:14] Abo: ivor: multiverse is checked in software sources
[14:59:31] justinh: ivor: not sure they're in the standard ubuntu repos
[14:59:48] RDV_Linux: wagnerrp: gbee is correct. iamlindoro was just asking me why some of the grabbers take so long. It come down to how many web reads it takes to collect the info and how fast the site is.

[15:01:12] justinh: which will come after hell freezes over. tell rambo3 that
[15:01:15] CyberKnet: The Vulcan is tripod mounted you know... I was thinking about the servo connections, and a webcam hookup... then someone comes along to touch the remote and KABLAMO!

[15:20:37] wagnerrp: no, trac is at fault
[15:20:50] wagnerrp: when trac zips up the archive, it strips execute permissions
[15:21:29] wagnerrp: the ebuilds on gentoo are set up to use the zip files from trac, so they can serve the archives straight from the portage servers
[15:21:39] wagnerrp: and not put any load on mythtv.org
[15:22:09] iamlindoro: So what are they doing about the many other things that need +x? MythVideo scripts, MythWeather, etc?
[15:22:11] gbee: it can't do an svn checkout instead?
[15:23:37] wagnerrp: gbee: well the intent is that users dont hit trac or svn
[15:23:58] wagnerrp: they grab an archive matching the revision of the ebuild off the gentoo servers
[15:24:32] wagnerrp: it used to maintain a local svn tree, but that changed a year or so ago
[15:25:01] wagnerrp: looks like mythvideo has the same issue
[15:25:28] wagnerrp: but its executable when installed
[15:25:44] gbee: wagnerrp: but what I'm suggesting is that instead of grabbing a zip via trac, it grabs a checkout and zips that
[15:26:39] wagnerrp: gbee: it just has a file name... tries to pull it off the gentoo servers first, falling back to the trac link
[15:26:53] wagnerrp: theres no reason why it couldnt do that, just means considerably more code
[15:28:02] wagnerrp: seems the mythvideo ebuild has some code to specifically mark that stuff executable, ill have to do that on this one too
[15:28:25] gbee: I'm willing to bet that pulling via trac is worse for the servers, I doubt trac caches the archive – this might even explain the recent problems with trac crippling the server and/or freezing up
[15:29:44] wagnerrp: gbee: only if gentoo users are running custom ebuilds
[15:30:36] wagnerrp: im not to say they arent... i have no idea
[15:31:44] gbee: don't gentoo users lose their club membership unless they tinker with everything?

[16:20:43] devinheitmueller: MNichie: it does work, although there is a timing bug switching back and forth from analog to digital.
[16:20:59] devinheitmueller: .... and you have to make sure that the no_poweroff is set.
[16:21:11] devinheitmueller: .... and you have to set the capture resolution to 720x480 to work around a mythtv bug.
[16:21:24] MNichie: ah I have not changed the res
[16:21:27] devinheitmueller: What behavior are you seeing?
[16:21:44] devinheitmueller: If you don't fix the resolution, the picture will show up be appear vertically stretched.
[16:21:49] MNichie: when I click on liveTV it says please wait, then exits back to the menu

[17:01:52] dmz: no but good luck :)
[17:02:15] kisak: I'm running mythtv 0.21-fixes p20877 and I don't want to whole heartedly shove my head into a hole
[17:02:41] kisak: so no harm has been done yet
[17:03:25] ivor: well you'll be backing up your database between upgrades anyway so no danger anyway.
[17:04:43] kisak: does a straight install of mythtv 0.22 use utf8 or latin1 encoding?
[17:04:55] kisak: for the database
[17:07:06] kisak: this is true ivor
[17:07:41] clever: this is weird
[17:07:55] clever: i restarted the master backend and it seems mythwelcome crippled my other system

[17:11:56] kisak: I had read http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Fixing_Corrupt_Dat . . . trunk.2F0.22 and interprited "the old mysql configuration file" as the backup of mythconverg, not my.cnf
[17:12:42] kisak: ok, good to go
[17:14:05] skd5aner: Does anyone know if VDPAU would perform better with 1GB of GDDR3 Memory, or 512MB of GDDR5 memory? I'm looking at the GT240, which comes in both varieties
[17:14:20] skd5aner: would speed of memory, or quantity of memory play a bigger impact?
[17:16:23] iamlindoro: Neither, when dealing with those quantities
[17:17:18] iamlindoro: and neither memory speed is likely to be a bottleneck either
[17:18:05] kisak: indeed, both are above and beyond sufficient

[17:18:42] skd5aner: iamlindoro: thanks – my assumption would be that they are fairly equal, but I know from early reports with VDPAU that memory size >512MB was recommended
[17:18:47] skd5aner: if I recall correctly
[17:19:03] skd5aner: I really should say, >256MB
[17:19:04] gbee: vdpau lives and dies on video memory

[17:20:30] gbee: 256MB wasn't, at least not with earlier drivers (could have changed, but I doubt it)
[17:20:38] skd5aner: so, for "future proofing" – do you think it would make any difference, not just in memory clock speed, but quanitity to have a card with > 512MB?
[17:21:25] kisak: to think that within the next 5 years, an opensource equivilent to vdpau probably will be started
[17:22:28] iamlindoro: Only it'll do half as much, require a card twice as expensive, only support JPEG2000, and flicker madly, causing seizures
[17:22:32] gbee: even if it is (and I doubt it would compare), it's still going to need a large amount of video memory
[17:22:32] skd5aner: Also, the cards I'm looking at are the feature set "c" cards, so they have the ability for MPEG4 acceleration and some advanced scaling abilities, I know Mark has started working on putting these into myth
[17:22:58] iamlindoro: Divx/xvid acceleration is a joke
[17:23:08] skd5aner: simply because the CPU can handle it?
[17:23:23] iamlindoro: any system capable of using a Feature Set C VDPAU card is drastically overpowered for any such content
[17:23:54] kisak: I remember wanting/needed a mpeg2 accelerator card but I was too poor to actually consider getting one
[17:24:27] skd5aner: maybe – but still nice, could it impact video quality though?

[17:25:46] skd5aner: still sucked
[17:25:50] clever: skd5aner: my P2 400mhz can handle mpeg2 from the pvr-150 :P
[17:26:09] kisak: so there's no manual instructions for backing up mythconverg at this point, just those perl scripts
[17:26:14] skd5aner: clever: but at what bitrate? :)
[17:26:19] clever: skd5aner: ~1gig/hour
[17:26:33] clever: but just bearly, if nfs is buggering around, it cant handle it
[17:26:35] skd5aner: do you actually use a P2 400 for that?
[17:26:46] clever: skd5aner: not anymore, its just a headless master backend

[17:27:10] gbee: I don't think there is a desktop processor launched in the last ten years which can't adequately handle mpeg2, and anything in the last 6 can probably do HD mpeg2 standing on it's head

[17:27:54] clever: skd5aner: my router is a P1 200mhz :P
[17:27:55] gbee: vdpau etc only make sense for H.264 and VLC
[17:28:06] iamlindoro: s/VLC/VC-1/
[17:28:25] skd5aner: clever: lol – some serious one-ups-manship going on here this morning I guess
[17:28:49] clever: my bigest problem is the 30 second reschedule times
[17:29:24] skd5aner: gbee: ignorant question here, but wouldn't the efficiency used to decode MPEG2 have improved in the last 10 years too?
[17:29:53] devinheitmueller: gbee: vdpau works for MPEG2 I believe as well.
[17:29:56] kisak: I'm just waiting to see multi-thousand AI battle each other on a mid-evil field on the gpu
[17:30:22] skd5aner: Feature Set "c" VDPAU cards "Complete acceleration for MPEG-1, MPEG-2, MPEG-4 Part 2 (a.k.a MPEG-4 ASP), VC-1/WMV9 and H.264."
[17:30:27] devinheitmueller: Yup.
[17:31:13] devinheitmueller: I personally prefer to see my main CPU at 20% instead of 80% (and with the deinterlacing it can be even worse)
[17:31:23] devinheitmueller: (this is with 1080i MPEG2)
[17:31:53] iamlindoro: There's another amusing one, MPEG-1 acceleration
[17:32:39] iamlindoro: Just in case I want to accelerate a 120x80 clip I downloaded in the 90s
[17:32:42] skd5aner: it was probably fairly trivial for them to accomplish and it's something they can use to market the solution

[17:33:22] iamlindoro: You're missing the point-- which is that it's a joke
[17:33:49] iamlindoro: It's *obviously* marketing, since anyone who knows beter knows that their 486 was capable of playing pretty much any MPEG-1 ever produced
[17:33:52] skd5aner: nope, I got that it's fairly pointless...
[17:34:40] Josh_Borke: iamlindoro: unfortunately not many people know better ;-)
[17:35:28] kisak: I think the greater value of having vdpau some of the codecs that don't need the support is so that you don't have to switch away from using vdpau whenever you tell it to play that older file
[17:36:01] ** devinheitmueller breaks out his old 3DO... **
[17:36:07] iamlindoro: kisak: You don't have to anyway
[17:36:21] iamlindoro: kisak: all the players that support VDPAU fall back to software decode when it's not supported
[17:36:29] gbee: devinheitmueller: vdpau does support mpeg2, but you're just shifting load from one processor to another, for a dedicated frontend box that doesn't gain you much tangible – maybe it's slightly lower power, although I've seen no benchmarks to prove it
[17:36:54] kisak: I do not have a media player setup yet that will fall back on software decoding
[17:36:58] devinheitmueller: I haven't done any analysis of the power usage, although I do have the equipment here.
[17:37:06] GreyFoxx: kisak: Myth will
[17:37:12] iamlindoro: kisak: Myth, xine, mplayer, XBMC
[17:37:28] devinheitmueller: I don't think the xine vdpau support has been merged yet.
[17:37:37] skd5aner: gbee: maybe so, but the CPU is general purpose, whereas the GPU is not – so shift the load off the CPU which could be doing other tasks (commflag, etc) and let the GPU take the heat (dumb pun intended)
[17:37:55] iamlindoro: devinheitmueller: well, granted, I meant their VDPAU branch
[17:37:56] gbee: skd5aner: which is why I was careful to say "dedicated frontend"
[17:38:04] devinheitmueller: iamlindoro: ah, gotcha.
[17:38:18] skd5aner: gbee: yup – your point is still valid, I doubt you are really gaining any power saves, etc
[17:38:23] devinheitmueller: iamlindoro: I just keep an eye on it because it would be nice to see Kaffeine pick up vdpau.
[17:38:25] gbee: sure, if you are using the machine for other CPU intensive tasks then vdpau comes into it's own
[17:38:54] devinheitmueller: skd5aner: I believe the power savings is actually considerable – I just haven't measured it.
[17:39:00] kisak: myth is in the works to be upgraded today. Last I heard, xine has large unaddressed security issues, mplayer is the only setup I've used vdpau on so far, and I haven't experimented with XBMC yet
[17:39:32] devinheitmueller: skd5aner: I believe phoernix did an analysis of the power consumption at one point, and it was really promising.

[17:40:02] skd5aner: I have not played with or seen the results of vdpau, but I've also heard that quality wise, it produces a better PQ – I'm assuming due to the deinterlacing ability – versus software decoding

[17:40:52] iamlindoro: skd5aner: I have kept quiet about this, but to be quite frank, I think the people arguing VDPAU produces markedly better PQ are delusional, defensive people who see the need to justify their expense/devotion to it
[17:40:53] andreax (andreax!n=andreaz@p57B94EB1.dip.t-dialin.net) has joined #mythtv-users
[17:41:06] skd5aner: devinheitmueller: well, I know the new GT 2*0 series is their 40nm production, which cuts the power requirements in half from the 9*00 series
[17:41:22] skd5aner: which is a nice win
[17:41:49] abqjp: VDPAU: what, exactly, is the advanced deinterlacer supposed to do better than the temporal deinterlacer?
[17:41:50] iamlindoro: As someone with what I think are fairly discerning tastes, the best VDPAU deinterlacers are comparable to the best software ones, but not markedly better-- but tell that to a VDPAU devotee and they turn nasty, fast
[17:42:15] iamlindoro: s/the best/I think the best/
[17:42:25] skd5aner: iamlindoro: interesting, in the eye of the beholder I suppose – and money sometimes makes everything look better, right? (HDMI monster cables anyone?)
[17:42:27] gbee: skd5aner: a few of us disagree with that, some of the deinterlacers are very good, but most of the improvement is in the minds a vocal few, is vdpau deinterlacing better than kernel/linear/bob ... well of course, does that mean it beats all software decoding, no
[17:42:43] iamlindoro: Everyone is so desperate for a panacea that they're willing to ignore the flaws that stare then in the face
[17:43:03] GreyFoxx: iamlindoro: I can tell you that without a doubt playback of my ripped DVD's looks visually better using the VDPAU renderer than they do with XVideo
[17:43:04] iamlindoro: s/then/them/
[17:43:08] devinheitmueller: The cost issue has mostly gone away though, since you can buy vdpau-enabled cards for $25.
[17:43:23] iamlindoro: GreyFoxx: to your eyes... personally I don't feel that way
[17:43:36] GreyFoxx: My wife noticed with and asked if I had done anything
[17:43:40] gbee: and vdpau does not handle stream errors well, software (ffmpeg) can hide a multitude of errors so that you'd never even know they were there but VDPAU turns it into a blocky mess
[17:43:48] GreyFoxx: and she would have no idea what xvideo or vdpau is :)
[17:43:55] meshe: is it really a cost issue, when you spend a couple hundred on a processor capable doing software decode of HD
[17:44:11] gbee: and that's actually quite an important distinction for terrestrial/satellite broadcasts
[17:44:28] skd5aner: gbee: that's one thing I was concerned about, in a way, is how resilient VDPAU is compared to software
[17:44:44] iamlindoro: GreyFoxx: It's all anecdotal, though-- I have had to turn VDPAU off on at least one occasion because the GF wondered why the picture kept breaking up and because she thought something looked "Wrong" with the motion on 1080i channels
[17:44:50] GreyFoxx: Software is better at handling srteam glitches
[17:45:06] kisak: gbee: that's not particularly fair, ffmpeg is a fairly mature pipeline at this point, compared to vdpau which just hit the radar not too long ago
[17:45:06] abqjp: In a way, it would be nice to choose the video renderer based on stream type. In other words, VDPAU for H.264 and software for mpeg2.
[17:45:24] GreyFoxx: iamlindoro: The only time I've seen a problem with the VDPAU renderer was on h264 videos with too many reference frames for our implementation
[17:45:34] GreyFoxx: which when moved back to xvideo looked fine
[17:45:39] gbee: skd5aner: I use vdpau all the time, but it has it's faults which is something that many vdpau zealots refuse to accept
[17:45:40] iamlindoro: GreyFoxx: Then you must have a particularly clean cable signal :)
[17:45:53] GreyFoxx: actually it is :)
[17:46:12] iamlindoro: GreyFoxx: anyway, I'm not saying it's *bad*-- VDPAU is great-- it's just not perfect/a panacea/better in all the ways some people like to claim it is
[17:46:22] GreyFoxx: somepeople are fools :)
[17:46:35] iamlindoro: you're telling me
[17:46:50] nutron: silly intel... wth, they expect my usb sticks to use FAT? Damned noobs.
[17:46:53] devinheitmueller: abqjp: I believe you actually can choose the renderer, but not based on stream type – you can do it by resolution though, which may be good enough if all your mpeg2 is one resolution but all your vdpau is another.
[17:47:33] gbee: I'm currently leaning towards using software for SD and vdpau for HD, but only because this is my dev machine and I'm often watching a recording while waiting for something to compile
[17:48:15] skd5aner: well, I'm definitely ready to give VPDAU a shot, to me it still seems like a Beta quality product (which is really what I've always considered the *nix nvidia drivers to be anyway), but the potential is there
[17:48:18] abqjp: devinheitmueller: unfortunately, I have 720p/1080i via OTA, and via my HD-PVR (Directv).
[17:48:31] devinheitmueller: abqjp: ah, ok then.
[17:49:31] skd5aner: I've got to admit, the way I have mythtv setup now when playing MPEG2 SD conent, leaves something to be desired in the PQ department, but I'm so used to it now it doesn't bother me
[17:49:59] skd5aner: It's not bad, but it's just not quite as good as if I watched it directly from the cable
[17:50:57] skd5aner: HD, on the other hand, looks great
[17:50:58] meshe: that's probably your tuner card
[17:51:12] skd5aner: PVR-250s and PVR-500s
[17:51:14] devinheitmueller: skd5aner: which card?
[17:51:18] devinheitmueller: skd5aner: ah, ok.
[17:51:22] ** meshe nods **
[17:51:32] skd5aner: IVTV
[17:51:33] devinheitmueller: skd5aner: are you coming through the tuner, or the s-video/composite?
[17:51:36] skd5aner: tuner
[17:51:39] devinheitmueller: ok.
[17:51:41] meshe: they are good cards, but the PQ does leave something to be desired
[17:52:09] J-e-f-f-A: skd5aner: My PQ is excellent through my 250 and 500, but I feed them S-Video from Dish STBs...
[17:52:11] skd5aner: any advice? anything I can do/check/change?
[17:52:21] devinheitmueller: I'm hoping to take a harder look at some of the analog quality for some of the newer cards in the next few weeks.
[17:52:25] GreyFoxx: I should put my QAM cards back in and do a scan, see what's available these days
[17:52:26] nutron: s-video/composite is really decent quality on my pvr-150's and 500's imho.
[17:52:32] GreyFoxx: I've got 3 of them sitting there doing nothing :)
[17:52:36] skd5aner: J-e-f-f-A: my STB feeds my HD-PVR, I know I could do a recording group, but...
[17:53:53] skd5aner: devinheitmueller: seeing's how the 250s/500s aren't even close to being considered newer, what's the prognosis on any PQ improvements in that department?
[17:54:35] devinheitmueller: skd5aner: probably pretty low, unless I uncover a bug in the same video decoder that happens to be used by those boards.
[17:54:57] skd5aner: fair enough
[17:54:58] skd5aner: and honestly – they've "just worked" for me for so long, I haven't even thought about replacing them. What analog cards are still out there today that are worthwhile?
[17:55:09] skd5aner: US – NTSC
[17:55:15] devinheitmueller: skd5aner: one thing you might want to try is comparing the quality of the tuner input versus the s-video, which will let you gauge whether the quality if a product of the can tuner or the video decoder.
[17:55:41] meshe: i don't think you can buy analog tuners new in the US anymore
[17:56:01] skd5aner: meshe: yea, I heard Hauppauge was asked to stop making them like 3 years ago
[17:56:02] devinheitmueller: meshe: not dedicated tuners, but you can certainly buy hybrids that do both analog and digital.
[17:56:19] devinheitmueller: (in fact, pretty much all of their tuners support both)
[17:56:38] J-e-f-f-A: skd5aner: I also find that viewing the same recording on my backend, which has an older card (Nvidia 5600) is not as nice looking as on my frontends (Nvidia 8600s) – the SD video seems to be scaled better on the nerwer cards. [just my perception, may or may not be true...]  ;-)
[17:57:37] skd5aner: My tuner situation is evolutional – 4 PVR-250s, then a PVR-500 (replacing 2 of the 250s), then an Airstair Air2PC gen 3 I think (HD5000), then an HDHR, then an HD-PVR
[17:59:06] skd5aner: devinheitmueller: you seem to be "the guy" to ask, so which hybrid tuners would be good for me to consider?
[17:59:19] J-e-f-f-A: skd5aner: devinheitmueller 's recommendation about trying the s-video input and comparing the quality is a great one – if it's better via s-video, then it's probably an issue with the Analog TV tuner on the card, and not the mpeg encoder or your settings.
[17:59:30] devinheitmueller: skd5aner: depends on what functionality you need.
[17:59:45] skd5aner: jeffa: I agree, and I'm happy to try that out
[18:00:21] devinheitmueller: I wrote an article on why "which tuner should I go with" is a really hard question to answer: http://www.kernellabs.com/blog/?p=1123
[18:00:23] skd5aner: but, I have 4 cards, and 1 STB, and I don't want to rent 3 more STBs just for that – so I can test it out to help determine the problem, but in the long run I can't set it up that way
[18:00:56] J-e-f-f-A: skd5aner: There have been 'mixed' reports of the quality of the TV tuners in the PVR-150/250/350/500 cards – some say they're fine, many others complain about them. I've never used the Analog tuner myself, just the S-Video inputs.
[18:01:00] skd5aner: devinheitmueller: so, in my situation... given the tuners I've listed above, I record all analog content via Cable, and HD content via QAM
[18:01:03] devinheitmueller: just to be clear, I wasn't suggesting switching between s-video and the tuner input as any sort of long-term solution. I was suggesting it would help debug the source of the problem.
[18:01:16] nutron: skd5aner: can you not purchase the stb's? I've been buying my digital boxes locally for $20 – $30 each. I have 5, just need to find the sixth.
[18:01:19] skd5aner: I'm considering setting up an antenna for OTA ATSC
[18:01:43] devinheitmueller: skd5aner: I've been pretty happy with the HVR-1600, as long as you run the latest v4l-dvb code.
[18:01:45] skd5aner: nutron: no, here you can only rent them
[18:01:57] devinheitmueller: ... and in fact it can capture both analog and digital at the same time...

[18:02:24] clever: skd5aner: up here its maybe 20$ a month to rent or 200$ to buy
[18:02:49] skd5aner: clever: it's only $5 a month to rent an additional STB, and I plan to get at least one more because I have 2 HD-PVRs

[18:03:03] devinheitmueller: The 1250/1800/1850 all have various driver issues with analog, so I would stay away from them. And the 2250 doesn't have analog support at all in the Linux diver.
[18:03:07] nutron: skd5aner: ouch, yuck
[18:03:10] TauPan: hi... can anybody spot the problem here? http://pastebin.com/m6e51e0a9 live tv on hvr 1300 stops after a few seconds or minutes with these errors, the same happens when I try to switch channels.
[18:03:50] devinheitmueller: TauPan: any errors in the dmesg output?
[18:03:55] skd5aner: devinheitmueller: I really appreciate it, I'll do a bit of research on the 1600 – any other I should compare against that would also record analog?
[18:03:58] nutron: devinheitmueller: doesn't that then just leave the 1600?  :)
[18:04:25] TauPan: not sure if those are errors:
[18:04:25] TauPan: 919.629455] cx88[0]/2-bb: VIDIOC_S_FMT: w: 720, h: 576, f: 4
[18:04:29] devinheitmueller: nutron: well, in terms of PCI/PCIe hauppauge cards that are currently available, pretty much.
[18:04:43] skd5aner: I wouldn't mind poping out my old Airstar HD5000s and PVR-250s to get a single card that'll do what both of those do indpendantly
[18:04:55] devinheitmueller: nutron: I've heard really good things about the HVR-1950, but it's USB so some people aren't interested in that.
[18:05:05] skd5aner: oh – great question – is the 1600 available in PCI?
[18:05:12] TauPan: in mythbackend.log I get: 2010-01–15 19:04:37.853 ERROR when trying to delete file: /GetPlaybackURL/UNABLE/TO/FIND/LOCAL/FILE/ON/abrasax/1007_20100115005449.mpg. File doesn't exist. Database metadata will not be removed.
[18:05:13] devinheitmueller: skd5aner: Yes, the 1600 is a PCI design.
[18:05:18] devinheitmueller: skd5aner: the 1250/1800/1850 are all PCIe.
[18:05:22] J-e-f-f-A: skd5aner: It's *only* pci.  ;-) hehe
[18:05:25] skd5aner: sweet – cause the backend is still PCI :)
[18:05:38] TauPan: however I'm sure I've set my directories correctly and the have the correct permissions
[18:05:44] devinheitmueller: TauPan: can you please pastebin your dmesg so I can get some more context?
[18:06:01] TauPan: devinheitmueller: ok
[18:07:03] TauPan: ah, mplayer also stops after aw hile
[18:07:31] devinheitmueller: J-e-f-f-A: the 1600 is the only one that has an encoder. There is another PCI hauppauge hybrid card, but it only has a framegrabber for analog.
[18:07:38] devinheitmueller: lunch just arrived, bbiab.
[18:09:01] TauPan: devinheitmueller: http://pastebin.com/m325a4d4
[18:09:07] TauPan: (full dmesg output)
[18:09:09] skd5aner: hmmm, now I have to decide if it's worth it to spend money on a new card that does the same thing my old cards already do (only with a chance that it does it slightly better)
[18:12:31] TauPan: hm, mplayer simply says "end of file"
[18:12:43] ** TauPan looksk at his interrupts. **
[18:14:08] ** iamlindoro strongly suspects very broken cable stream/signal **
[18:14:08] TauPan: hm, three times cx88[0] on interrupt 18
[18:14:31] TauPan: it's analog tv, encoded with the card's on-board encoder
[18:14:42] Dagmar: TauPan: So when you see those things, as sad as this sounds, sometimes you can get rid of them by going and _touching_ that file (`touch filename`) to create it so that the backend has something to delete, and then nukes that entry from the db
[18:14:44] TauPan: watching from framegrabber works
[18:15:53] iamlindoro: Ah, if an analog signal then yeah, devinheitmueller is probably right an possible driver issue

[19:11:48] skd5aner: anyway – had a couple quick follow up Qs for you...
[19:11:58] devinheitmueller: shoot.
[19:12:14] skd5aner: 1) you mentioned you were going to work on some of the "newer" cards re: analog PQ, which cards were you referring to? was the 1600 one of them?
[19:12:33] devinheitmueller: Yeah, the 1600 is definitely on my list of cards to look at.
[19:12:58] Dagmar: grrr i hate lm_sensors
[19:13:00] skd5aner: is there a noticable difference in PQ on that card within linux vs Windows?
[19:13:14] devinheitmueller: Bear in mind that some of the cards are already pretty good. My first step is to try to evaluate the relative quality of the cards. The second step is to identify *why* the ones that are worse are like that.
[19:13:41] devinheitmueller: I'm not really at a point where I can comment on which cards are good/bad at this stage.
[19:13:46] skd5aner: i see, yea – was curious your reasoning behind it
[19:14:11] skd5aner: er, curious about
[19:14:27] devinheitmueller: I've looked at a couple of boards in particular that I use regularly for testing, and I hooked one of them up to the analog generator and said, "wow, that is f**k'ed up."
[19:14:36] skd5aner: ha – nice
[19:14:54] devinheitmueller: Now that I have the tools necessary to better evaluate the actual quality of the decoders, I will be doing testing to see where they are each at.
[19:15:09] skd5aner: I look forward to see the output!
[19:15:15] devinheitmueller: Would recommend you keep an eye on the blog, since that is where I usually talk about such topics.
[19:15:20] skd5aner: I'll probably hold off and see where things go...

[19:16:04] skd5aner: yea – was reading about how you worked on some of the QAM capabilities for the 1600 recently
[19:16:25] devinheitmueller: Yeah, it is *MUCH* better now.
[19:16:30] skd5aner: and the ALSA stuff – didn't get that at first, but reading through some of the comments it was interesting
[19:16:56] devinheitmueller: Well, the ALSA stuff is all about being able to listen to analog audio in cases where you're using raw video capture (as opposed to using the MPEG encoder).
[19:17:06] devinheitmueller: For example, if you use tvtime, you're not using the MPEG encoder.

[19:17:32] devinheitmueller: ... these things are less critical to people using the card for DVR, but more valuable for people who want to watch live TV with low latency.
[19:17:40] skd5aner: well, anyway, I guess my other question is that there appears to be different models and/or revisions of the 1600, anything to look out for there or are they all functionally the same in linux?
[19:18:01] messerting (messerting!n=messerti@cm-84.208.182.112.getinternet.no) has joined #mythtv-users
[19:18:05] devinheitmueller: .... for example, you could never play your PS3 if you're using the MPEG encoder.
[19:18:29] skd5aner: devinheitmueller: yup, the comments helped clarify, but I can remember the discussions 6 years ago when people were asking if they could play their gamecubes through myth ;)
[19:18:30] devinheitmueller: There are only a few variants of the 1600, depending on whether you need IR and/or FM support.
[19:18:43] Dagmar: Wait, what?
[19:18:47] Dagmar: Never play your PS2?
[19:18:50] Dagmar: er PS3?
[19:19:08] Dagmar: Did you mean "never play the video files on your PS3?"
[19:19:24] devinheitmueller: I honestly couldn't say whether the FM works on the 1600 under Linux since the board I happened to have doesn't have it – but the IR should work fine if you get a board that includes the support.
[19:19:59] skd5aner: Dagmar: he means, play a PS3 (or realtime system) through a capture card, the latency would kill you
[19:20:15] devinheitmueller: Dagmar: I mean you could never play a video console on a feed that goes through a TV tuner if it uses the MPEG encoder. The latency is high enough that by the time you saw the fireball come at you, you would be dead.
[19:21:05] devinheitmueller: With an application like tvtime and raw video capture, the latency is actually low enough that you can use it to play video games.
[19:21:15] skd5aner: devinheitmueller: good deal, just was browsing around and saw a few different options for the 1600
[19:21:26] skd5aner: thx
[19:21:29] devinheitmueller: np
[19:22:09] skd5aner: I might hold off and see the output of your tests for the analog stuff, I've been living with the PVR-250 quality since 2004, I can wait a little longer
[19:22:10] Dagmar: Oh god yeah
[19:22:40] Dagmar: Hell half the time you have to give LCD TVs the evil eye about it because they'll engage a rescaler or somesuch that adds a nice 75ms lag

[19:23:04] Dagmar: Suddenly, Guitar Hero becomes the Bob Dylan Singalong
[19:23:19] devinheitmueller: skd5aner: much of it also depends on how sensitive you are to such things. The cards basically work, it's just a question of how well optimized/fine tuned they are.
[19:24:20] skd5aner: well, I'm sensitive enough to think that I've suffered for a long time with what I've got ;)
[19:24:42] Dagmar: ...and since you're actually here to be able to casually confirm/deny this, the deal with TVTime is such because the tuner card just paints the video into a window of video RAM, right?
[19:25:59] devinheitmueller: Dagmar: Well, no. Tvtime still reads the video like any other application, but then it turns around and immediately outputs it to XVideo. So there is no MPEG encoding or on-disk buffering, or network I/O between a backend/frontend.

[19:48:57] devinheitmueller: TauPan: my guess is that the driver doesn't properly handle the case where you're not allowed to change the video standard after streaming is started. On those devices, once the encoder is running you cannot change the video standard or capture resolution without stopping the encoder, and then restarting it after the change. Perhaps the driver doesn't deny the request like it should.
[19:49:29] devinheitmueller: ... and then when the encoder receives the command while the stream is running it puts the chip into an unknown state.

[21:58:02] songer: i wanna watch movies on mythtv

[22:09:07] gbee: that's upnp independent of mythvideo
[22:09:22] gbee: it does it's own scan for some reason
[22:09:23] wagnerrp: yeah, upnp maintains its own separate cache of files
[22:09:28] wagnerrp: it doesnt use videometadata
[22:09:53] wagnerrp: that could be changed now that content is available over SGs, but no one has yet bothered to
[22:11:28] Dagmar: Hmm... I'm not so sure it's a good thing it's doing that unless it's required to by the UPnP spec or something

[22:22:01] gbee: the file system watcher can't come soon enough, a lot of things would benefit from that

[22:22:19] iamlindoro: in linux, yes
[22:22:50] iamlindoro: MFileSystemWatcher is a wrapper for QFileSystemWatcher, which is the Qt functionality that wraps the various platform filesystem watchers
[22:23:02] gbee: superm1: platform independent, but yes it will use the best tool on each system, wrapper for QT's stuff
[22:23:23] superm1: so what does thw wrapper add then that's not in QFileSystemWatcher?
[22:23:23] gbee: iamlindoro managed to explain that better
[22:23:52] iamlindoro: Myth message/event sending and handling
[22:24:48] iamlindoro: ie translating an updateevent into a Myth event that we can propagate to frontends, multiple backends, etc.
[22:25:00] superm1: Right
[22:25:15] gbee: superm1: it will deal with storage groups and myth's event system, simplify things at the point where it's actually called upon as well as sharing a single instance between multiple plugins
[22:27:09] Captain_Murdoch: and MFileSystemWatcher will maintain a cache of all files found on all systems. new backend starts up, it sends out notifications messages to other MFileSystemWatchers about what files it has available. If the local FE has a MFileSystemWatcher, then it doesn't have to ask the BE if a file exists, because it already knows.
[22:28:45] elmojo: iamlindoro: I finally figured out why MPEG-TS seeking is so slow in MythTV

[22:29:08] ** sphery waits anxiously **
[22:29:09] iamlindoro: elmojo: Is it because I hate community?
[22:29:16] iamlindoro: because that tends to be a good reason
[22:29:34] sphery: I'm assuming this is the without-seektable seeking, right?
[22:29:39] elmojo: iamlindoro: yes... please stop hating community
[22:29:56] elmojo: sphery: correct... using libavf seeking
[22:29:56] iamlindoro: elmojo: Last I heard you mentioned differences between linear read and using a ringbuffer, but do tell
[22:30:12] sphery: elmojo: cool... Would be great to fix that
[22:30:30] sphery: the suspense is killing me
[22:30:42] elmojo: iamlindoro: it has to do with how MPEG-TS performs seeks and how our RingBuffer code handles EOF seeks
[22:31:24] iamlindoro: elmojo: any viable solution/improvement?
[22:31:46] elmojo: iamlindoro: yes... it's easy to improve dramatically
[22:31:56] sphery: sweet!
[22:32:03] elmojo: I've got seek times down from 1 second to about 0.25 seconds
[22:32:13] ** iamlindoro really needs to start working harder, as elmojo keeps putting him to shame **
[22:32:25] elmojo: yeah right
[22:32:34] iamlindoro: elmojo: Oh, pfft, just 75% better, I thought you were going to quote a big improvement
[22:32:43] elmojo: I'm probably going to just file a bug and wait for the BSP to release the patch :)
[22:32:57] iamlindoro: awww
[22:33:01] elmojo: 4x better
[22:33:07] iamlindoro: If it's about getting us to notice you, we notice you :)
[22:33:25] ** elmojo waves both hands in the air **
[22:33:41] iamlindoro: elmojo: So what's the method for the magic improvement?
[22:34:11] iamlindoro: You know, so I can create a patch and see what it is to feel like elmojo for a day
[22:34:13] elmojo: the EOF handling in the RingBuffer safe_read function just needs optimizing
[22:34:26] elmojo: right now we implement delays and retries when we shouldn't
[22:35:07] elmojo: not much you can do if it's the EOF... we shouldn't wait and retry... the file isn't going to start growing magically
[22:35:36] elmojo: I'm going to but some debug in ffplay and see how it handles the EOF situation compared to us
[22:35:46] iamlindoro: cool
[22:35:50] iamlindoro: ncie work, though
[22:36:03] iamlindoro: er nice
[22:36:12] elmojo: iamlindoro: would you prefer to not have to create seek tables for your Bluray stuff?
[22:38:37] iamlindoro: elmojo: I prefer *any* improvements, regardless of whether they have direct application to me, but it is a rhetorical question I hope :)
