| [18:33:16] | sphery: | janneg would be the one to ask. He last told me: sphery: seek tables for mkv should generally work. they don't work for h264 in mkv since we can't parse the bitstream format mkv/mov/mp4 use to store h264 |
| [18:33:41] | sphery: | so I think the idea is to make them work, but it makes sense for ones we know we can't parse to do nothing |

| [18:33:54] | sphery: | (until we can parse them) |
| [18:34:00] | JoshBorke`gone is now known as JoshBorke | |
| [18:34:50] | sphery: | guess I should have quoted him long before because his answer is far more meaningful than my half-recollection of what he said :) |
| [18:34:50] | elmojo: | sphery: the seek tables (at least with mythtranscode) are built using ffmpeg and not our parser so I don't understand that comment |
| [18:35:19] | sphery: | I'll say it's way, way beyond my understanding of player/parse/myth/ffmpeg stuff :) |
| [18:35:35] | elmojo: | but maybe on the playback side there is something I'm missing |
| [18:41:03] | mag0o: | sphery: *excellent* |
| [18:41:20] | mag0o: | i can now swap between themes and painters and exit mfe without hanging |

| [18:44:36] | janneg: | no, I would prefer if seeking in .mkv would just work without seektables |
| [18:47:21] | Captain_Murdoch: | transcoding should (re)build the index, but --buildindex shouldn't transcode. and yeah, it would be nice if we had a helper program that this and other code moved into but that'd be low on my priority list so I never have looked into it. |

| [18:51:28] | elmojo: | janneg: seeking in mkv seems to work in matroska just fine for everything I have |
| [18:51:29] | Maliuta (Maliuta!n=scooby@kiev.lusan.id.au) has quit (SendQ exceeded) | |
| [18:51:45] | elmojo: | no seek tables should be needed |
| [18:53:28] | elmojo: | janneg: in fact if you do an lseek in a matroska file it will cause the matroska decoder to fail and exit |
| [18:57:10] | lotia_ is now known as lotia | |

| [19:01:07] | sphery: | mag0o: and you said your CPU usage by mythfrontend wasn't huge before reverting those changesets |
| [19:02:22] | mag0o: | correct |
| [19:02:40] | mag0o: | less than 25%, and firefox was using most of that |

| [19:19:03] | AnNahar: | help friends |
| [19:19:11] | AnNahar: | Starting mythbackend: chown: invalid user: `mythtv:mythtv' |
| [19:19:16] | AnNahar: | how do i recreate that user/group properly? |
| [19:21:15] | superm1: | AnNahar, did you start with some packages? |
| [19:21:22] | AnNahar: | yum install mythtv stuff |
| [19:21:32] | superm1: | ah not sure on the rpm world, sorry |
| [19:21:47] | superm1: | they probably have some postinstall hooks though that you need to rerun |
| [19:22:00] | superm1: | (if you were on a *buntu, dpkg-reconfigure mythtv-common would normally do it) |
| [19:22:24] | AnNahar: | i have mythtv-common installed |
| [19:22:47] | elmojo: | Captain_Murdoch, janneg: thanks I'll put together a patch that bypasses transcoding when we specify --buildindex for mythtranscode and also disallow mkv seek table building |

| [19:29:00] | elmojo: | sphery: applying #5110 may not make since if I provide a patch that avoids transcoding when using --buildindex |
| [19:29:07] | elmojo: | err, sense |
| [19:29:58] | sphery: | elmojo: ah, cool |
| [19:30:00] | sphery: | then I'll wait |
| [19:30:09] | sphery: | (it has some things I was needing to clean up, anyway) |
| [19:30:13] | elmojo: | I'll try to get it ready later today |
| [19:30:20] | sphery: | great.... thx |
