Brad-D:

so i feel like the dumb guy who's late to the party... but damn user jobs are cool!

[00:00:42]

wagnerrp:

one of them tried to give my sister a reckless op for tailgaiting, speeding, cutting someone off, and changing lanes without signalling

[00:01:17]

Beirdo:

well, if she WAS doing all that, maybe she deserves reckless :)

[00:01:27]

Beirdo:

or maybe they just wanted a date

[00:01:36]

wagnerrp:

she was a good 15 feet behind the motorcycle in front of her, 20ft ahead of the prius she changed lanes to pass, used her signal, and never exceeded 35

[00:01:47]

Beirdo:

they wanted a date :)

[00:02:11]

wagnerrp:

the cop was just pissed because the prius was an idiot who never made it past 20mph, and still hit the breaks when my sister passed them

[00:02:21]

wagnerrp:

(cop was behind the prius)

[00:02:43]

Beirdo:

hehe

[00:02:49]

wagnerrp:

it was a female cop... but you never know

[00:02:53]

Beirdo:

the cop was probably tailgating the prius

[00:03:07]

Beirdo:

I intentionally slow down if people tailgate me

[00:03:08]

wagnerrp:

i would do if they were going 20 in a 35

[00:03:31]

Beirdo:

yeah, well, I'd be doing 35 :)

[00:03:46]

Beirdo:

at first anyways... but you ride my ass, I will soon be doing 20

[00:04:02]

Beirdo:

people here (Puerto Rico) like to tailgate

[00:04:13]

Beirdo:

it pisses me off :)

[00:04:19]

wagnerrp:

ill ride your ass if i cant pass you, and youre not going at least the speed limit

[00:04:40]

Beirdo:

yeah well... then back off so you can pass when it's safe, and all is good

[00:05:00]

Beirdo:

:)

[00:05:12]

wagnerrp:

if i can pass at all, i wont tailgate

[00:05:14]

Beirdo:

I've been rear-ended by idiots who follow too closely

[00:05:20]

wagnerrp:

even if i cant do so at that moment because of oncoming traffic

[00:05:30]

Beirdo:

because I had to emergency brake due to potholes, etc

[00:05:32]

Beirdo:

WHAM

[00:05:36]

Beirdo:

idiots

[00:06:02]

Beirdo:

but yeah, I do the limit or slightly above generally :)

[00:06:03]

wagnerrp:

this is behavior learned from another road near my house

[00:06:20]

wagnerrp:

fairly straight, four lane, 35mph road that people would go 30mph on side by side

[00:06:31]

Beirdo:

Oooh, that's sucky

[00:06:38]

wagnerrp:

now its a VERY wide 2-lane plus turn

[00:06:41]

wagnerrp:

and people go 25

[00:06:55]

Beirdo:

what gets me... on the freeway with a limit of 65...

[00:06:57]

wagnerrp:

so you get ten cars stacked up behind some putz in front, because theres no passing

[00:07:02]

Beirdo:

the fucktards doing 45 in the left lane

[00:07:06]

GrahamIRC (GrahamIRC!~GrahamIRC@93-97-162-128.zone5.bethere.co.uk) has joined #mythtv-users

[00:07:55]

wagnerrp:

i mean these are like 15-ft lanes, you can practically get two cars side by side on them

[00:07:56]

Beirdo:

you can get a ticket for not doing AT LEAST the limit in the left lane here

[00:08:09]

Beirdo:

and a ticket for doing OVER the limit

[00:08:16]

Beirdo:

and one for 20+ UNDER the limit

[00:08:19]

Beirdo:

heh

[00:08:31]

Beirdo:

so those tards are due at least 2 tickets.

[00:08:59]

Beirdo:

makes me wanna drive a beat-up hummer

[00:09:15]

Beirdo:

yer doing the limit NOW, buttwad! :)

[00:09:47]

wagnerrp:

whats really fun is the highway ramps with very large shoulders, and the people who decide they want to drive on that instead of the lane

[00:09:54]

Beirdo:

heh

[00:10:03]

wagnerrp:

so you take that to mean theyre letting you pass, and you do so

[00:10:59]

GrahamIRC:

Hi! I wonder if any kind souls here could help me with a problem I have with playback of some vob files using the internal Mythtv player?

[00:11:07]

Beirdo:

oh NO

[00:11:13]

Beirdo:

someone wants to be on topic?

[00:11:15]

Beirdo:

heh

[00:11:25]

wagnerrp:

GrahamIRC: mythvideo? is this with storage groups?

[00:11:50]

GrahamIRC:

The problem I have is that some files show the incorrect play back length, now I understand that this is a problem with incorrect frame rate in the container file

[00:12:13]

GrahamIRC:

and that I could run it through mencoder or ffmpeg to potentially correct this

[00:12:39]

rooter7 (rooter7!~carl@75-92-50-94.war.clearwire-wmx.net) has joined #mythtv-users

[00:12:43]

GrahamIRC:

but doing that seems to lose the alternate audio tracks and all the subtitles (I guess it's coming out as an AVI?)

[00:12:57]

jolaren:

Anyone managed to run mythtv on a popcorn hour?

[00:13:15]

GrahamIRC:

is there anywhere to correct the length without re-encoding and without losing audio/subtitle tracks?

[00:13:24]

rooter7:

Commercial-skip is completely wrong all the time these days.

[00:13:33]

GrahamIRC:

lol, sorry Beirdo to take things on topic!

[00:13:39]

rooter7:

Anyone else have this problem?

[00:13:44]

Beirdo:

GrahamIRC: not a problem :)

[00:14:22]

GrahamIRC:

this run-length error also seems to be popping up a lot on recorded programs now too since updating to 0.22 – tis very frustrating!

[00:14:31]

rooter7:

I've run myisamchk /var/lib/mysql/mythconverg/recordedmarkup.MYI and re-scanned, but no improvement.

[00:14:39]

GrahamIRC:

oddly, with recorded programs it's always the same channels that are affected!

[00:15:02]

Beirdo:

GrahamIRC: what kind of recording methodology?

[00:15:20]

GrahamIRC:

sorry, what do you mean?

[00:15:31]

Beirdo:

what kind of capture card, etc

[00:15:32]

GrahamIRC:

I'm using a PVR-150 to record of a satellite box

[00:15:44]

GrahamIRC:

never had any probs before 0.22

[00:15:44]

Beirdo:

OK, so analog -> MPEG2

[00:15:48]

GrahamIRC:

yes

[00:15:50]

Beirdo:

K.

[00:16:06]

Beirdo:

I was thinking if that were digital, it might just be bad encoding

[00:16:15]

GrahamIRC:

'tis very odd that it always affects the same channels though

[00:16:18]

Beirdo:

but I doubt ivtv cares what channel the video is from :)

[00:16:25]

GrahamIRC:

must be something there it's not liking

[00:16:41]

Beirdo:

could be, but I can't think of what...

[00:17:06]

Beirdo:

is this channel sports or something else that would normally require higher bitrates for good encoding?

[00:17:06]

GrahamIRC:

no, I agree, but nonetheless the channels that are affected are always affected whilst those that are not affected are never affected!

[00:17:20]

GrahamIRC:

nope

[00:17:27]

Beirdo:

hmm

[00:17:33]

Beirdo:

how odd

[00:17:41]

GrahamIRC:

and it should just be a composite signal as far as myth is concerned

[00:17:53]

GrahamIRC:

yes, it's very odd and driving me nuts! lol

[00:18:14]

Beirdo:

well, yeah, but if the card gives it crappy encoding if it can't do a good enough job...

[00:18:34]

Beirdo:

but if it's not something that's high motion, that shouldn't be the case

[00:19:10]

GrahamIRC:

doesn't seem to be affected by the programme material, just the channel it's recording from

[00:19:13]

Beirdo:

I remember recording hockey at too low a bitrate and having odd playback issues

[00:19:16]

Beirdo:

K

[00:19:18]

GrahamIRC:

and as I say, never was a problem with 0.21

[00:19:33]

GrahamIRC:

I record all at the same bitrate

[00:19:42]

Beirdo:

wagnerrp: any ideas what may be causing that?

[00:19:58]

Beirdo:

did you upgrade ivtv as well?

[00:20:01]

GrahamIRC:

they playback fine, just wrong length reported and so they end prematurely

[00:20:10]

GrahamIRC:

everything upgraded

[00:20:19]

GrahamIRC:

I use the ATRPMS repo

[00:20:21]

Beirdo:

hmmm. great :) too many variabls :)

[00:20:30]

GrahamIRC:

lol I know

[00:20:51]

GrahamIRC:

I'm more bothered by the vob issue I described first

[00:20:54]

Beirdo:

not sure what could cause that.

[00:21:09]

rooter7:

Is nayone having commercial-skip problems?

[00:21:12]

wagnerrp:

give me a second to catch up... was in the other channel

[00:21:14]

GrahamIRC:

really looking for something that will do the stream copy like ffmpeg without losing the subtitles and additional audio channels

[00:21:25]

wagnerrp:

rooter7: yes, mythcommflag has never been perfect

[00:21:35]

wagnerrp:

some shows do great, others, not so much

[00:21:37]

Beirdo:

hmm, maybe a demux/remux?

[00:21:48]

rooter7:

But lately it's been completely wrong all the time. Worse than nothing.

[00:22:04]

GrahamIRC:

not sure how to do that Beirdo – know of any links?

[00:22:08]

rooter7:

Used to work great.

[00:22:12]

Beirdo:

errrm

[00:22:17]

wagnerrp:

GrahamIRC: vob files? or recordings?

[00:22:18]

Beirdo:

one sec

[00:22:22]

GrahamIRC:

vob

[00:22:43]

Beirdo:

maybe look at mplex?

[00:22:53]

Beirdo:

it's been a while for me since I was dealing with that

[00:23:00]

wagnerrp:

i dont know how much of that is actually handled by mythtv

[00:23:11]

wagnerrp:

and how much is handled by some 3rd party dvd library myth pulls in

[00:23:13]

GrahamIRC:

remux might be an idea as some internal player also selects wrong audio channel and there doesn't seem to be a way to override that so I end up using xine to play them back

[00:23:33]

GrahamIRC:

it's a shame the internal player wont allow you to select the audio/subtitle tracks on a command line

[00:23:34]

wagnerrp:

you can override the channel through the 'm' menu

[00:23:38]

wagnerrp:

but its a one time thing

[00:23:43]

wagnerrp:

theres no default options

[00:24:00]

GrahamIRC:

yes – not very g/f friendly tho lol

[00:24:13]

GrahamIRC:

which is why I end up using xine for those files – would rather not tho

[00:24:28]

GrahamIRC:

thanks beirdo, I'll do some research on mplex

[00:24:41]

wagnerrp:

you can try remultiplexing to some other container

[00:24:47]

wagnerrp:

mkvtoolnix or mp4box

[00:25:00]

GrahamIRC:

does anyone know if ffmpeg has the ability to keep all of the audio/subtitle channels or is it like mencoder and puts out avi?

[00:25:01]

wagnerrp:

or even tsmuxer

[00:25:02]

Beirdo:

cool

[00:25:12]

[R]:

GrahamIRC: ffmpeg will do wahtever you tell it

[00:25:22]

[R]:

its got half a million options

[00:25:24]

Beirdo:

[R]: or try to

[00:25:24]

[R]:

and codecs

[00:25:30]

rooter7:

One of the main attractions of Myth is commercial-skip. Has anyone heard of a case where it is completely wrong, all the time? If not, how do I turn off all previous flagging in recorded shows?

[00:25:31]

GrahamIRC:

hmm that's half the problem! lol

[00:25:47]

rooter7:

It's worse than nothing.

[00:25:50]

Beirdo:

rooter7: it can be turned off

[00:25:55]

[R]:

rooter7: disable it in the forntend

[00:25:59]

[R]:

rooter7: are you in the US?

[00:26:07]

GrahamIRC:

personally I've never bothered with commercial skip, I just use the forward button :-D

[00:26:13]

rooter7:

Sure I can turn off flagging, but how do I clear flags for recorded shows?

[00:26:21]

rooter7:

Yes, US.

[00:26:30]

wagnerrp:

rooter7: if its disabled, what does it matter?

[00:26:38]

jolaren:

2gb ram and a asus AT3N7A-I would be very cheap

[00:26:45]

rooter7:

Have 3 months of recoded shows.

[00:26:59]

rooter7:

recorded

[00:27:15]

wagnerrp:

but if its turned off, mythtv will just ignore the commflagging

[00:27:21]

wagnerrp:

like it never existed in the first place

[00:27:25]

Beirdo:

just tell it not to honor the commflag

[00:27:31]

rooter7:

Oh.

[00:27:49]

rooter7:

Has anyone heard of a case where it's just so far off?

[00:28:21]

wagnerrp:

ive got plenty of recordings where it either adds a bunch of extra cuts inside the commercial breaks, or just outright fails

[00:28:25]

Beirdo:

it happens, I'm sure

[00:28:28]

rooter7:

... choppping out chunks of the show and leaving commercials...

[00:28:33]

GrahamIRC:

Sorry [R] – will ffmpeg output to vob or mkv or a container that supports multiple audio channels and subtitle tracks?

[00:28:35]

rooter7:

all the time...

[00:28:44]

wagnerrp:

if it bothers you, take a stab at fixing the algorithm

[00:29:19]

[R]:

GrahamIRC: yuou'll have to check the ffmpeg docs to figure out what contianus your ffmpeg supports

[00:29:22]

rooter7:

No idea where to start, much less what's wrong..

[00:29:24]

GrahamIRC:

whatever you do you can bet the broadcasters are gonna try to slip the adds in without an algorithm noticing!

[00:29:45]

[R]:

the comm flagger always fails for me with those "news at 9" commericals halfway through the commerical break

[00:29:59]

wagnerrp:

GrahamIRC: does anything other than mythtv have automatic commercial detection?

[00:30:11]

Beirdo:

And the stupid show ad overlays during the shows... blech

[00:30:13]

GrahamIRC:

I don't think so

[00:30:18]

rooter7:

OBut it still does pretty good tho, doesn't it? Mine is completely off, all the time.

[00:30:29]

wagnerrp:

[R]: i dont get those during the break, but i do at the end

[00:30:34]

rooter7:

... worse than nothing.

[00:30:38]

Beirdo:

yeah, we heard ya, rooter7 :)

[00:31:02]

rooter7:

Sounds like I'm alone in this.

[00:31:31]

rooter7:

Alan N says he has this problem, but when he uses coreavc it works fine. How could that have any bearing?

[00:31:43]

GrahamIRC:

I've noticed that the audio often breaks during the adds – I'm sure this anomoly could be used to make it more accurate

[00:31:44]

wagnerrp:

it wouldnt, at all

[00:32:02]

wagnerrp:

nor would he be using coreavc with mythtv

[00:32:14]

rooter7:

... says he is...

[00:32:23]

** Beirdo hands wagnerrp the trout :) **

[00:33:05]

rooter7:

?

[00:33:14]

wagnerrp:

it can be done, but you have to do some non-trivial hacking to get it to work

[00:33:39]

wagnerrp:

and that assuming youre using h264 content

[00:33:46]

wagnerrp:

which you would only have if you were using an HDPVR

[00:33:56]

rooter7:

Oh man...

[00:34:00]

wagnerrp:

broadcast content wouldnt use it

[00:34:10]

rooter7:

Using r5000 so h264.

[00:34:22]

rooter7:

(Dish)

[00:34:50]

rooter7:

Could this be an h264 problem?

[00:34:58]

rooter7:

Not supported by Myth?

[00:35:00]

Defense|Twin (Defense|Twin!~jepz@d137204.adsl.hansenet.de) has quit (Remote host closed the connection)

[00:35:20]

rooter7:

My mpeg2 (OTA) flags just fine.

[00:35:52]

rooter7:

60 Minutes is flawless.

[00:36:33]

rooter7:

Is HDPVR content flagging badly, or fairly good?

[00:36:40]

[R]:

works fine for me

[00:36:49]

wagnerrp:

its just slow, as are most operations with the HDPVR

[00:37:11]

rooter7:

Is HDPVR a program stream, or transport stream?

[00:37:18]

wagnerrp:

ts

[00:37:29]

rooter7:

pff...

[00:37:36]

wagnerrp:

?

[00:37:45]

rooter7:

blows my theory...

[00:38:44]

rooter7:

Maybe it's something to do with the construct of a Dish ts specifically.

[00:39:09]

rooter7:

... meses up timing markers or something. But this is radically wrong flagging.

[00:39:29]

wagnerrp:

doubtful, since the commflagger is working on the decompressed frames

[00:39:39]

wagnerrp:

if it plays fine, it will flag fine

[00:39:48]

rooter7:

schite.

[00:40:18]

rooter7:

I guess I have to do without.

[00:41:14]

rooter7:

I wonder if the flagged intervals are right, just shifted one direction or t'other by a significant amount?

[00:41:29]

wagnerrp:

this is a pretty ugly mess

[00:41:49]

wagnerrp:

he sets up a frameserver under WINE to pass to mythtv

[00:42:08]

rooter7:

ack...

[00:42:28]

wagnerrp:

hard to believe thats higher performance than using libavcodec directly

[00:42:35]

GrahamIRC:

:-s

[00:42:40]

rooter7:

y

[00:43:02]

rooter7:

I'm too dumb to fix it tho.

[00:43:36]

rooter7:

Maybe if I cntact him. Who writes mythcommflag?

[00:43:49]

wagnerrp:

should be in the commit logs

[00:44:11]

rooter7:

I could send him clips. Maybe he'd be intereted in investigating.

[00:45:02]

rooter7:

Thanks wagnerrp. Worth looking into.

[00:45:57]

wagnerrp:

if the decoder actually makes a difference in commflagging accuracy

[00:46:04]

wagnerrp:

thats something you should bring to ffmpeg

[00:46:51]

wagnerrp:

but theyll probably say its very unlikely

[00:47:19]

rooter7:

What is? Should I suggest a switch to ffmpeg or avcodec?

[00:47:33]

wagnerrp:

ffmpeg == libavcodec

[00:47:51]

wagnerrp:

what version are you currently running?

[00:49:42]

rooter7:

There doesn't seem to be a switch for version, but mythtv-fixes-0.22–23506 custom compiled.

[00:49:59]

rooter7:

svn

[00:50:11]

rooter7:

Been broken for months.

[00:50:12]

wagnerrp:

hold off until 0.23

[00:50:33]

wagnerrp:

the latest ffmpeg sync brought some huge improvements in h264 decoding

[00:50:50]

rooter7:

I doubt they know there's a problem... and with so few of us.

[00:52:27]

rooter7:

... if the problem is with h264.

[00:53:10]

rooter7:

Anyway thanks wagnerrp

sphery: you still interested in a backtrace of the continuously running mythfilldatabase issue?

[01:39:10]

sphery:

elmojo: definitely

[01:39:32]

sphery:

can you get one of the hung process vs the segfault of a manual run that was posted on the list

[01:39:43]

sphery:

(I think the segfault is the same one on some other ticket...)

[01:39:57]

sphery:

should probably respond to that thread to mention that

[01:42:26]

sphery:

ok, maybe not the same, but probably a similar (related) issue

it's on an Ubuntu 9.10 32-bit running 0.22-fixes

[01:55:15]

and to answer your question it's the hung process variety

so would my in-laws :)

[01:59:25]

jolaren:

yeah i have wondered bout others

[01:59:39]

sphery:

elmojo: since you'll be running long term, a profile build should be fine

[01:59:57]

sphery:

jolaren: should be some announcements on the lists for ones for the theming competition

[01:59:59]

elmojo:

sphery: so compile-type=profile and not debug?

[02:00:09]

sphery:

(which may be updated past 0.22-fixes, though)

[02:00:20]

sphery:

elmojo: right... will give much better performance

I'll keep an eye on it and ping you next time it happens to be 100% sure I get what you need

just a normal thread backtrace should be good

I have a feeling it's socket-related issues

I'm thinkin now that it would perhaps be easier to get a dreambox for the bedroom instead.. would be cheaper :P

Jester05:

hey

[05:33:05]

Jester05:

does anyone know if I could use a regular wireless adapter as a wireless accesspoint assuming I run the right software?

[05:33:17]

Jester05:

i'm looking at building my own router..

[05:33:24]

wagnerrp:

thise doesnt sound like it has anything to do with mythtv

[05:33:35]

Jester05:

well its for mythtv..

[05:33:50]

wagnerrp:

its for your home network

[05:33:51]

Jester05:

i want to be able to stream my 1080p material wirelessly

[05:34:01]

wagnerrp:

youre not actually intending to play content wirelessly are you?

[05:34:07]

Jester05:

yes but I was in here a while back and had talked to someone about it for ab it

[05:34:22]

Jester05:

using 3 draft n channels it can be done

[05:34:40]

wagnerrp:

no, it cannot

[05:34:42]

Jester05:

and I found a 3 channel draft N adapter for pretty cheap

[05:35:09]

wagnerrp:

G carries sufficient bandwidth for nearly all of the content mythtv will use

[05:35:13]

wagnerrp:

but it doesnt have the reliability

[05:35:15]

Jester05:

each channel of draft N is running ~130Mbps

[05:35:19]

wagnerrp:

your network WILL drop

[05:35:25]

wagnerrp:

and not infrequently

i've used my G setup for 720p w/ no real problems.. at night

[05:35:49]

wagnerrp:

but mythtv is not designed for such a network

[05:36:02]

Jester05:

but using (3) wireless N channels you should be fine..

[05:36:04]

wagnerrp:

it has very little buffer

[05:36:16]

[R]:

Jester05: its not a bw issue

[05:36:35]

Jester05:

what is the problem with it then?

[05:36:41]

RyeBrye:

I'm using wide channel N and have no problems

[05:36:42]

wagnerrp:

as mentioned, reliability

[05:36:57]

wagnerrp:

is there a reason you cannot run wires?

[05:37:30]

Jester05:

wagnerrp, perhaps your gear is just showing age?

[05:37:43]

wagnerrp:

got nothing to do with that

[05:37:50]

Jester05:

I know of alot of people who use wireless to stream gigs worth of data without issue

[05:38:06]

wagnerrp:

transfer is one thing

[05:38:09]

RyeBrye:

But I use the N network exclusively for one link between my n router and the frontend machine that I can't run wires to – and I have it on a non-congested part of the spectrum for my area. I'm usually over 130Mbps

[05:38:24]

wagnerrp:

with realtime use, you will have network dropouts

[05:38:31]

wagnerrp:

and it will cause pausing in mythtv playback

[05:38:51]

RyeBrye:

I do occasionally have that in myth – I would say it is pretty rare – but it does happen

[05:39:09]

RyeBrye:

If there was any practical way to run wires to where the frontend is, I would

[05:39:09]

Jester05:

I agree to an extent but I've heard that its possible with good gear.. as RyeBrye is saying

[05:39:51]

Jester05:

at any rate... take a look at this card guys

[05:39:51]

Jester05:

http://www.amazon.com/TP-LINK-TL-WN951N-802-1 . . . p/B002D11AYY

[05:39:53]

wagnerrp:

go ahead if you want, either way, this is not the channel for help configuring your computer as an access point

[05:40:29]

RyeBrye:

I also bought 9dbi antennas for the 802.11n card in my frontend fwiw

[05:40:36]

RyeBrye:

before I did that I had a lot of dropouts

[05:40:41]

Jester05:

well wagnerrp no one else seems to be holding a conversation and if RyeBrye wants to talk to me about it .. whats the issue?

[05:41:16]

Jester05:

RyeBrye, I assumed I'd have to be running external antennas across the board

[05:41:30]

wagnerrp:

the issue is that there are much better places to be holding this conversation

[05:41:42]

wagnerrp:

generally, your distro's channel

[05:41:57]

wagnerrp:

one where there will be people who know the ins and outs of this sort of thing

[05:42:06]

RyeBrye:

Oh, but I am not setting up my computer as an AP – I have a linksys wrt350n router I'm using as the AP

[05:42:14]

Jester05:

wagnerrp, I don't have a specific distro.. I run anything and everything depending on which box it is and how much time I had to configure that box at the time of setting itup

[05:42:54]

wagnerrp:

Jester05: in that case, you may want to check out the ALIX and Soekris boards

[05:43:01]

wagnerrp:

see what people generally run on those systems

[05:43:23]

Jester05:

RyeBrye, does it seem like your router gets overworked at times streaming for myth? .. we have a 10/100/1000 LAN router but it seems like that router couldn't keep up with the data transfer.. note its being used for myth and general use

[05:43:37]

Jester05:

alright

[05:43:58]

RyeBrye:

No, it handles it all fine. the 350n has a fair amount of RAM and a gigabit switch

[05:44:05]

wagnerrp:

your machines, and more likely the protocols youre using, are going to drop out before you saturate any decent gigabit switch

[05:44:08]

RyeBrye:

I'm running dd-wrt on it

[05:44:25]

Jester05:

wagnerrp, have you ever done anything crazy with your myth system.. I'm kind of trying to figure out what the capabilities of myth are.. seems to be endless thus far

[05:44:55]

wagnerrp:

no real way to answer an indirect question like that

[05:45:18]

RyeBrye:

I don't think the people here would consider what they do crazy... and if there are limitations that a dev runs into he will code up a solution to remove that limitation

[05:45:24]

wagnerrp:

the only thing 'abnormal' ive really got going on my systems is my boot

[05:45:32]

Jester05:

I know .. I just don't know what all has been done on it yet.. it would be nice to use it for home security too

[05:45:36]

RyeBrye:

diskless nfs stuff?

[05:45:50]

wagnerrp:

i run multiple systems off a single cloned disk image over iscsi

[05:46:28]

[R]:

diskless nbd > diskless nfs

[05:46:34]

Jester05:

I had been looking at doing something like that

[05:46:43]

Jester05:

creating a mythtv cluster essentially

[05:46:48]

wagnerrp:

i update one image, clone it, copy an overlay for each individual system

[05:46:57]

wagnerrp:

makes it much easier to maintain several systems

[05:47:06]

Jester05:

hmm

Jester05:

alright thanks RyeBrye .. i just found a broadcom for $15 :-\

[05:48:16]

Jester05:

dunno if i'd trust that manufacturer tho

[05:48:36]

Jester05:

esp not if I want to try to use it for myth lol

[05:48:39]

wagnerrp:

as far as other stuff... setups 'normal' people would consider crazy are par for the course around here

[05:48:39]

RyeBrye:

istr the card I bought being cheaper when I got it

[05:48:59]

wagnerrp:

its nothing for someone to have a 10+TB setup, with half a dozen tuners or more

[05:49:11]

RyeBrye:

and undervolting the hard drives to make them quieter

[05:49:24]

Jester05:

yeah

[05:49:29]

i just upgraded to 10TB this past week :) only two tuners though, haha

The only time myth gets shut down is when my 16 month old decides to hold in the big button on the front of my combined be / fe downstairs

[05:53:34]

wagnerrp:

anyway, those ALIX and Soekris boxes have their own communities based around turning them into rather high end routers and access points

[05:53:39]

wagnerrp:

Jester05: ^^^

[05:54:33]

Jester05:

wagnerrp, I got you.. I was going to use an old p4 2.4ghz slim box i have tho

[05:54:35]

Jester05:

not sure..

[05:54:49]

Jester05:

its frontending in my bedroom but.. cant do 1080 :-\

[05:54:52]

wagnerrp:

right, im just saying they would have guides explaining what you need to do

[05:54:55]

Jester05:

seems to handle 720p well enough

[05:55:09]

Jester05:

yeah I'll look up their channel in a bit

[05:55:19]

Jester05:

but I have a question thats up your alley

[05:55:26]

RyeBrye:

Jester05: you have a vdpau capable card in that p4 box? 1080 would be nothing for it with a decent nvidia card

[05:55:30]

Jester05:

and it'll hinge what i do router wise

[05:55:33]

wagnerrp:

is this old P4 going to be doing anything other than acting as an access point?

[05:56:16]

Jester05:

RyeBrye, this box is OLDDD and i dont want to put more money in it if I dont have to.. plus I cant find a AGP vdpau cap card

[05:56:31]

[R]:

pci!

[05:56:32]

Jester05:

wagnerrp, thats what I'm unsure of

[05:56:52]

wagnerrp:

if not, youll do much better shelling out $200 for a little ALIX box, or ~$100 for a nice router

[05:56:58]

wagnerrp:

get something low power

[05:57:10]

Chicago:

wagnerrp, hey

[05:57:11]

wagnerrp:

that P4 is probably draining almost $100/yr in power costs

[05:57:17]

Jester05:

yeah I've considered that too

[05:57:28]

Jester05:

i'll get to my other ? tho

[05:57:45]

Jester05:

I need to give you some background on my myth setup so you know it tho

[05:57:55]

wagnerrp:

shoot

[05:58:05]

Chicago:

wagnerrp, if the mythzoneminder is going away... using the configuration I mentioned yesterday; is there any reason not to have the "camera" now come up as a channel in mythguide? Perhaps either always recording or not... with full access to the myth internal player

[05:58:40]

wagnerrp:

Chicago: im not saying its going away

[05:58:49]

Jester05:

wagnerrp, my master backend is also my main frontend in my living room.. its an old P4 2.8ghz @ 800mhz, 2x2gig @ 400mhz, FX5700LE

[05:58:58]

RyeBrye:

I thought mythzoneminder was abandoned

[05:59:02]

wagnerrp:

im saying theres discussion about dropping it as an official plugin, since none of the current devs use it and want to maintain it

[05:59:05]

Chicago:

oh okay, I thought perhaps without a maintainer it would simply degrade by itself over time

[05:59:09]

wagnerrp:

right

[05:59:15]

Jester05:

the issue is.. it does not handle 1080 at all and rarely 720..

[05:59:38]

wagnerrp:

Jester05: what motherboard?

[05:59:50]

Jester05:

I dont know if I should drop that box completely and just build a new box for frontend and backend or use the new box only for frontend and keep the master backend as backend

[06:00:07]

Jester05:

wagnerrp, its an old chaintec

[06:00:16]

Jester05:

I have it maxed pretty much

[06:00:17]

wagnerrp:

socket 775 or 478?

[06:00:22]

Jester05:

478

[06:00:32]

wagnerrp:

ah... better to just swap out the guts

[06:00:35]

Jester05:

800fsb 400rsb

[06:01:04]

wagnerrp:

you can pick up a nice AMD dual core, nvidia graphics, and 2GB of memory for <$200

[06:01:17]

wagnerrp:

plenty for a combined FE/BE on most mythtv setups

[06:01:19]

Jester05:

yeah but.. do I want to make a new pc do backend work too or dual boot it as a myth frontend and allow for windows gaming on my 52" samsung w/ 500w surround lol

[06:01:41]

Jester05:

also.. all of my tuner cards are PCI

[06:02:00]

Chicago:

Jester05, a dual-booting backend would probably be more of an interruption to your recording schedule than its worth.

[06:02:00]

Jester05:

I have 2 analogs which I'm using.. and 2 digital which i am not currently using

[06:02:08]

wagnerrp:

use the old P4 for backend and access point duty

[06:02:09]

Jester05:

and both my digitals can tune 2 streams at once

[06:02:10]

RyeBrye:

I keep looking for excuses to buy more tuners or to upgrade to a digital cable with HD premium package and get an HD-PVR – but haven't found any yet :(

[06:02:20]

wagnerrp:

buy a new box as a frontend-only/gaming machine

[06:02:47]

wagnerrp:

Jester05: theyre dual tuner cards?

[06:02:57]

[R]:

RyeBrye: hd makes me happy

[06:03:01]

Jester05:

yeah.. i was shocked

[06:03:09]

wagnerrp:

what model?

[06:03:14]

Jester05:

wagnerrp, they're old divio's

[06:03:17]

Jester05:

3 and 5

[06:03:23]

Jester05:

lemme find a link

[06:03:44]

wagnerrp:

divco?

[06:03:56]

Jester05:

i have the Dvico HDTV 3 and HDTV 5

[06:04:07]

Jester05:

they SUCK for analog use

[06:04:23]

Jester05:

but digital.. I've only used once but worked well at the time

[06:04:38]

RyeBrye:

I have a HDHR and I love it

[06:04:55]

Jester05:

I need to take the time to set myth up to use them for unencrypted digital

[06:05:17]

Jester05:

RyeBrye, how do you change the channel? IR or something else?

[06:05:36]

wagnerrp:

HDHR is a digital tuner, myth changes channels directly

[06:05:46]

Jester05:

ohhh

[06:05:55]

Jester05:

i thought it was a component tuner

[06:05:59]

Jester05:

well recorder*

[06:06:18]

RyeBrye:

HD-PVR is the component one

[06:06:23]

Jester05:

ahh

[06:06:27]

Jester05:

yes thats what I'm thinking

[06:06:41]

wagnerrp:

are you sure thats a dual tuner? i see no mention of such on their website

[06:06:53]

Jester05:

wagnerrp, who?

[06:06:57]

wagnerrp:

you

[06:07:11]

Jester05:

yes I've used them for digital in the past

[06:07:24]

wagnerrp:

you can record multiple things simultaneously on a single tuner

[06:07:26]

Jester05:

back in .. windows :-x

[06:07:28]

wagnerrp:

mythtv defaults to two

[06:07:29]

Jester05:

and once in linux

[06:08:08]

Jester05:

wagnerrp, I'm pretty sure myth showed it as 2 tuners

[06:08:19]

wagnerrp:

yes, it will show up in mythtv as two tuners

[06:08:28]

wagnerrp:

however it will only show up in linux as a single tuner

[06:08:35]

Jester05:

yeah

[06:08:51]

wagnerrp:

its a somewhat confusing convention in mythtv of what it calls 'multirec'

[06:09:05]

Chicago:

once upon a time on a Monday. My HD Homerun was set as "two" inputs per tuner and was scheduled to record House on FOX and Chuck on NBC at the same time... since both recordings ended up being of Chuck and I didn't get House... I'm wondering, is the limit to recording two programs from one tuner on an hdhr limited to streams available only on the same multiplex?

[06:09:08]

Jester05:

hmm

[06:09:15]

wagnerrp:

basically, you capture the entire stream on one channel, and you record multiple subchannels there in

[06:09:59]

wagnerrp:

Chicago: all recordings on a single tuner must be on the same multiplex

[06:10:06]

Jester05:

I just know i've watched one feed and it allowed me to switch to a different tuner.. as i said I haven't messed much with it

[06:10:10]

wagnerrp:

meaning they must be on the same physical frequency

[06:10:16]

Chicago:

do I need to nanny that myself, or should mythbackend be a genius for me?

[06:10:16]

Jester05:

ohh

[06:10:36]

wagnerrp:

mythbackend is supposed to manage scheduling of all that properly

[06:10:48]

wagnerrp:

not sure how you could have ended up with two recordings of the same thing

[06:10:54]

wagnerrp:

unless your channel table was messed up

[06:11:12]

Chicago:

okay, maybe it was only a fluke... since then I've set the HDHR's to be seen as only "one"... I guess I can give it a shot again tomorrow... Monday is my busiest day for recording live television.

[06:11:26]

wagnerrp:

are you using broadcast or cable?

[06:11:31]

Chicago:

yes

[06:11:38]

Chicago:

ATSC on digital cable

[06:11:51]

wagnerrp:

so QAM cable

[06:12:00]

Chicago:

yes, exactly

[06:12:10]

wagnerrp:

QAM256 has roughly double the bandwidth of broadcast ATSC (8VSB)

[06:12:18]

Jester05:

prob qam 256

[06:12:18]

wagnerrp:

so its actually worthwhile for multirec

[06:12:37]

Jester05:

I have qam 256

[06:12:45]

wagnerrp:

the only thing multirec gets you on broadcast is better capability of managing overlap between shows on the same channel

[06:12:50]

Jester05:

but.. I dont know how much of it is uncrypted

[06:13:07]

wagnerrp:

you can do it on a single tuner, rather than having to use two separate tuners during the overlap period

[06:13:27]

Chicago:

Jester05, a channel scan which shows you the available channels is useful... and fortunately the channel map changes over time and new unencrypted channels may become available for you.

[06:13:38]

Jester05:

but if it must be on the same channel the odds if it actually coming in handy arent great

[06:14:19]

Jester05:

Chicago, it seems like it picks up many channels that don't actually work when I try to view them tho

[06:15:01]

The hvr1600 has been working too

[06:17:07]

wagnerrp: lol

[06:17:26]

wagnerrp:

cablecard will never function on any open source platform

[06:17:47]

wagnerrp:

and absolutely not one where the user has free access to actually insert their own code

[06:17:47]

Jester05:

whats keeping someone from writing their own driver for the device tho?

[06:18:03]

Chicago:

Jester05, don't ask

[06:18:08]

[R]:

Jester05: the fact that everyhting is encrypted and there is no spec?

[06:18:35]

Jester05:

well I mean aren't their tuners that work with a cable card under windows currently

[06:18:43]

and?

[06:18:47]

Jester05:

ATI has big contraption

[06:18:53]

theres lots of hardware that works in windows that doesnt work in linux

[06:19:05]

due to driver support

[06:19:21]

[06:22:25]

Jester05:

but ORTA could be done lol

[06:22:56]

Jester05:

whats the test decryption thing myth has for DVB now?

[06:23:19]

[R]:

it tries to guess if its encrypted

[06:23:21]

wagnerrp:

Jester05: breaking through cable and satellite encryption is considered a breach of ToS for those respective services, not something mythtv or this channel will take part in

[06:23:22]

[R]:

and skip it if it is

[06:23:51]

Jester05:

wagnerrp, I'm just saying theoretically..

[06:24:33]

Jester05:

I mean you'd have to know how the encryption is written to do so and I'm sure they change the encryption patterns all the time so it'd realistically be next to impossible to do

[06:24:35]

wagnerrp:

theoretically or not, there are tools right now that will do it, and they are considered off limit topics in this channel

[06:25:31]

Jester05:

wagnerrp, are there actually ways to do it that the providers can't get around on a regular basis tho? I thought there was essentially no way around it at this point

[06:25:52]

i dont really know anything about them

[06:25:58]

it depends on where you are in relation to the satellite

It wouldn't be good here. No one would complain, but I know from experience Lightening would like it. My grandparents had a HAM tower here. Lightening always getting the TV or fridge.

[06:43:48]

Jester05:

bonelifer, if you ground it properly it shouldn't

[06:44:01]

Jester05:

problem is most grounders are undersized and or not driven deep enough

[06:44:03]

bonelifer:

We got rid of it after my grandmother died and my parents moved in. No more losing TV's or fridges.

[06:44:21]

It was well grounded. didn't help.

[06:44:35]

if you don't hit magma you aren't deep enough

Jester05:

you use that to tune your digital cable

[06:50:29]

Jester05:

?

[06:50:35]

Jester05:

or your OTA digital?

[06:50:38]

RyeBrye:

No, I just have analog cable

[06:50:42]

RyeBrye:

I use it for ATSC

[06:50:44]

Jester05:

ohh

[06:50:49]

RyeBrye:

I can get QAM, but the signal OTA is better

[06:51:01]

RyeBrye:

more reliable at least

[06:51:05]

Jester05:

well still even w/ analog cable I've picked up digital cable.. I have TWC tho

[06:51:15]

Jester05:

ohh

[06:51:23]

Jester05:

I get what you're saying..

[06:51:25]

RyeBrye:

my local cable company likes to randomly move the QAM channels around

[06:51:45]

RyeBrye:

so one day NBC is on 103–5 and then a few weeks later it's on 5–1 and then it's back to 103–2 later... which doesn't play well with myth

[06:51:50]

Jester05:

yeah true.. maybe I should set one of my digital tuners up for OTA

[06:52:06]

RyeBrye:

antennaweb.org should let you see what you can get OTA easily

[06:52:08]

Jester05:

yes I agree there

[06:52:24]

Jester05:

alright.. it'd be nice to get all of the Think programs

[06:52:54]

wagnerrp:

arent those usually carried by PBS?

[06:53:46]

Jester05:

well I get like 10 think channels

[06:53:54]

Jester05:

so not to the same frequency

[06:54:30]

Jester05:

I used that site but it doesnt even talk about channel 16

[06:54:41]

Jester05:

i get prob 8–10 subs under channel 16

[06:56:14]

Jester05:

if I come across another sat dish at an auction i'm going to buy it lol

[06:56:24]

Jester05:

just to try to mess with this whole FTA stuff

Jester05:

wagnerrp, what that digital media port called

[06:58:06]

Jester05:

I think it may just be known as media port..

[06:58:55]

Jester05:

at any rate.. I think it can do HDMI and I know there are recording cards that have that port so you could essentially record HDMI out of your cable box

[07:10:29]

wagnerrp:

digital media port?

[07:10:53]

wagnerrp:

you cannot record HDMI

if you can get 1080p out of your hardware do you not need to use deinterlacers

lol i wasnt thinking

[10:15:15]

heh seems there are only about 10 people on the whole of the internet who've complained about flash video playback tearing

[10:15:30]

oobe:

it used to happen to me

[10:15:43]

oobe:

it was cause of compiz fusion though

[10:15:47]

oobe:

i just stopped using it

[10:15:48]

justinh:

but at least one guy is on the ball. he's made a couple of flash objects to test for it

[10:16:08]

justinh:

I get tearing on my windows laptop all the time. it really bugs me

[10:16:41]

justinh:

at first it was all video playback but tweaking the video device settings fixed that. now it's only flash

[10:17:02]

justinh:

a bit OT.. if you upgrade your system RAM is it also a good idea to increase the swap file size & if so.. is it quite straightforward to do that?

[10:41:55]

justinh:

the swap partition is usually a fixed size so I'm guessing some rejiggling of partitions would be needed

[10:42:19]

oobe:

i dont bother

[10:42:27]

oobe:

it hasnt harmed me

[10:42:44]

oobe:

but the old rule of thumb was to have 2x the size of ram

[10:43:09]

oobe:

its less relevant now cause systems dont swap as much with such high memory sizes

[10:43:34]

oobe:

these days a 2gb ram systems can suspend to ram without swap

[10:44:38]

justinh:

the backend I thought was giving up the ghost a while back has been going fine since I cleaned the ram contacts, steady as a rock for over 100 days..so I'm thinking I'll give it another lease of life with another gig of ram or so. it's only got 512 now

[10:44:50]

oobe:

also if you want to add more swap but dont want to repartition you can create a swap file instead

[10:45:03]

justinh:

not at a point where I can see myself upgrading myth from 0.21 yet

[10:46:12]

been funny, since analogue was switched off here & the DTV muxes were jiggled around with, mythbackend hasn't fallen over at all

you can achieve max transfer speeds

[10:53:30]

oobe:

but 2 pcs connected to the wifi router both using wifi cards it halfs the throughput

[10:53:31]

justinh:

depends very much on all the hardware involved

[10:53:47]

oobe:

this is standard but i am looking for more details

[10:53:57]

justinh:

some wifi stuff will slow down to the speed of the slowest device accessing it

[10:54:07]

justinh:

I dunno the whole ins & outs of it

[10:54:09]

oobe:

no all would be compatable

[10:54:21]

oobe:

all would be using wireless-n

[10:54:28]

justinh:

shouldn't be an issue then

[10:54:42]

justinh:

but if all devices are *using* the network obviously it'll affect throughput

[10:55:05]

oobe:

yea

[10:55:07]

justinh:

if they're just *connected* to the network (i.e. present on the network) that alone won't make much traffic

[10:55:23]

oobe:

it does half it

[10:55:31]

oobe:

but i think i can get away with that

[10:55:31]

justinh:

wouldn't have thought so

[10:55:40]

oobe:

its strange

[10:55:50]

oobe:

but i cant phrase it correctly to find an example

[10:56:05]

justinh:

if anything, two network devices vying for bandwidth on the same access point would do worse than halve it

[10:57:34]

justinh:

but I'd have thought that if you had say two laptops connected to a router wirelessly, both would have whatever access speed the hardware allows

[10:58:03]

justinh:

and if you connected a machine up to the network with a wired connection that wouldn't affect wireless anyway

[10:59:12]

justinh:

like when my laptop is connected to the wireless network at home the connection speed isn't halved when my wife's laptop joins the network

[10:59:56]

justinh:

not as far as I know anyway

[11:02:37]

oobe:

no its not halfed when you both connect

[11:02:49]

oobe:

its halfed if you try to upload files to her

[11:02:56]

oobe:

*i think

[11:03:06]

justinh:

who cares? wireless is shite anyway

[11:03:08]

oobe:

but i just asked in madwifi and someone said i shouuld be ok

[11:03:29]

justinh:

it's *convenient* and nothing else

[11:03:39]

justinh:

you want speed, get wired. end of story

[11:04:05]

justinh:

I mean you want *guaranteed* *quantifiable* speed, get wired

[11:04:16]

justinh:

oops. add *reliable* to that mix

[11:04:41]

its only reliable until you have a slight power bump and your linksys switch goes tits up

i mean youve already got the address and port of the backend status page

[16:51:38]

stuartm:

wagnerrp: provide at least some measure of security for those running backends on shared networks, e.g. Universities, if the upnp discovery makes it easy to discover the address of those machines it was figured prudent to add a measure to prevent anyone from connecting

the status page doesn't let you delete/modify recordings etc, it's read only

you can pull the security pin straight off the GetSetting page

IMHO the pin isn't secure enough anyway, but I'd not remove it, just replace it with a greater level of security – the argument that because it's a local network application no real security is required isn't going to hold forever

while trying to write my own client I found a gazillion ways to crash the backend

[17:05:23]

yea

[17:05:28]

sid3windr:

something that intentionally creates wrong input

[17:05:35]

to catch bugs

[17:06:32]

ive seen a handful of those backend crashing bugs over the years, but they all get closed pretty quickly on trac

of course those are bugs discovered through normal behavior

no-one has really looked at how mythtv might be used, as any other local application might, to attack a system generally, whether it's to cause damage by deleting user/system files, retrieving system/user passwords, priviledge escalation etc

[17:07:01]

sid3windr:

back then I wasnt trying to break stuff

[17:07:06]

sid3windr:

was just trying to figure out the protocol

[17:07:16]

sid3windr:

but like, I passed the wrong tuner number to some request

[17:07:17]

sid3windr:

and boom =)

[17:07:40]

sid3windr:

which, is highly annoying that anyone on the network can do that, because there was no authentication on the control socket (dunno if there is now)

[17:07:59]

sid3windr:

still it's not that big of a risk, if you find someone connecting to your home network crashing your backend

most of the time we assume that security isn't important in myth because we only consider the damage being limited to mythtv's database and recordings, but we provide several routes for remote users to execute external commands etc, all of which can be used to do damage outside of myth itself

[17:09:55]

but.. but.. my recordings!

[17:10:11]

wagnerrp:

so themoviedb.org opened up, and mythtv switched over to using that instead

[17:10:40]

wagnerrp:

if youre still using 0.21, there are instructions on how to install that grabber over top of the old imdb grabber

sphery:

wagnerrp / stuartm : IIRC, the UPnP interface allows discovering the MySQL connection info (including username/password), so some felt that it was stupidly insecure to allow access to everyone since it could compromise not only MythTV, but also the MySQL server on which mythconverg is run (for those who stupi^H^H^H^H^Hchoose to run mythconverg on a mission-critical MySQL server).

and before the pin existed, GetConnectionInfo would return those details without any challenge

wagnerrp: I was refering to autodiscovery as the complete process, not just the initial multicast and response

[17:18:31]

at the very least those should be protected by the pin, arguably retrieval methods should too

[17:20:43]

wagnerrp: might be worth mentioning to CDev (perhaps in thread at http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/mythtv/dev/418085#418085 ), as he's basically rewriting the MythXML stuff, now.

text subtitles are one of the more unused parts of mythtv

considering the only way to get them is to OCR them from the source yourself

[17:39:34]

wagnerrp:

so youre not going to find a lot of users experienced in them to help diagnose something

so the best way is put the subtitles to mkv file? or using external player like mplayer?

dont know, i dont use them

or don't transcode/strip the subtitles when transcoding

[17:49:02]

there are no binaries, everything is user compiled

[17:49:54]

i know but the one way is do own package... and download it from official portage tree

[17:50:06]

Zdeno:

so how faar is 0.23 version?

[17:50:25]

wagnerrp:

copy the existing package into a new folder

add that folder as an overlay

Or rather, to rephrase, do you guys think the crystal hd will be supported in 0.24? :)

[19:08:55]

wagnerrp:

that all depends

[19:09:20]

wagnerrp:

the current consensus is just to let the crystalhd get supported as a decoding engine upstream in ffmpeg

[19:09:32]

wagnerrp:

then its fairly trivial to add support in mythtv

[19:09:59]

high-rez:

That sounds pretty smart. So it'll just be one of jy's libav* syncs?

kormoc: mythweb.conf should be the only place I need to set that stuff right?

[19:10:38]

wagnerrp:

so if it exists in ffmpeg 6–8 months down the line when jan neg does another sync in prep for 0.24, theres a good chance mythtv will support it

[19:10:47]

kormoc:

bsdfox: yes

[19:15:16]

high-rez:

Generally speaking, functionally all it does is decode right? Overlays, color correction etc wouldn't be supported by it, correct?

[19:15:33]

wagnerrp:

correct

[19:15:50]

wagnerrp:

it would be a decoding engine, in place of ffmpeg currently

[19:15:59]

wagnerrp:

you still need to use Xv to handle the other tasks

[19:17:28]

Interesting. So it couple turn an appletv into a competent frontend. :D

I'm going to write the decoder as soon as my card arrives

we can write a upnp auth plugin in c/c++/python/etc and have it as a auto-detected database service via upnp rather then having to do all the credential pass arounds.

I saw they have sold for < $35 on ebay which makes them quite attractive.

[19:24:33]

wagnerrp:

kormoc: i dont understand what that would do, drizzle just seems to be another database implementation

[19:25:47]

bsdfox:

kormoc: got it all fixed up (had a stray mythweb.conf that was being read after the one I was editing) thanks

[19:26:29]

kormoc:

wagnerrp: sorta... but think entirely plugin extendable, we could write a auth plugin that announces it's presence via upnp so the backend/frontends can find it, and when they connect to it we can bypass auth, just let them in. No more messing with grants, no fixing incorrect grants, no fixing incorrect mysql ip issues, it'd just work (tm)(r)

[19:26:41]

bsdfox:

one more question.. after swapping backends a few times mythtv thinks I've got tuners 5–7 on my old backend "Encoder 5 is remote on gameinwatch (currently not connected)." and "Encoder 8 is local on bowser and is not recording."

[19:26:58]

bsdfox:

any way for me to reset these to 1–3 and get rid of the remote tuner entries?

[19:27:13]

** kormoc eyes that question towards sphery **

[19:27:40]

xris:

bsdfox: can delete the remote tuner entries from the db, but renaming the new ones could get messy because there are quite a few tables that link back to them so you'd have to change the id numbers in multiple places.

[19:27:49]

kormoc:

wagnerrp: think about how the frontends upnp discover the backend. We can do the same with the database layer with drizzle now, less configuration, less user pain, etc

[19:27:55]

xris:

but to delete, I think you can just wipe the entries from the capturecard table.

[19:28:23]

kormoc:

would need to truncate to reset autoindex position

[19:28:41]

bsdfox:

xris: alright. I can live with them being numbered a little higher :)

[19:29:34]

wagnerrp:

so this would be a means of implementing the embedded sql server?

[19:29:45]

wagnerrp:

use drizzle to abstract sql?

[19:30:05]

kormoc:

wagnerrp: nah, you wouldn't need to embed it anymore, a lot of the same benefits, less work to get it correct

[19:30:26]

wagnerrp:

i mean drizzle would basically be acting as a proxy to the mysql server?

[19:30:46]

kormoc:

drizzle is a mysql server, just redone in a lot of fundamental ways

[19:31:03]

kormoc:

in this setup, drizzle would replace mysql

[19:31:09]

wagnerrp:

so it would be embedded drizzle, rather than embedded mysql

[19:31:16]

kormoc:

not embedded

[19:31:29]

kormoc:

just install drizzle, install the myth-upnp-drizzle-auth plugin, done

[19:34:02]

wagnerrp:

well one of the problems with UPNP is that a search must listen on the local address on port 1900

[19:34:23]

wagnerrp:

and right now, the backend, and this auth plugin would both want that port

[19:34:35]

wagnerrp:

as would any additional application that is looking to search for them on that machine

[19:34:55]

kormoc:

erm

[19:35:05]

kormoc:

multiple upnp apps do run on machines somehow...

[19:35:38]

wagnerrp:

do they?

[19:36:05]

wagnerrp:

none of the search tools ive found have worked if the backend is running on that machine

[19:36:24]

wagnerrp:

maybe im just doing something wrong

[19:36:26]

wagnerrp:

entirely possible

[19:36:46]

kormoc:

I'll research, but if so, that's a huge failure

its odd, my frontend can see it my PS3 can't let me go check again. I jsut did another scan

hmm actualy it just client which uses upnp

[21:17:21]

Maybe rights problem?

[21:17:51]

the frontend scan and the uPnP file list have nothing to do with one another

Hmm./.. no experience there I'll keep quit ;-)

[21:18:09]

Hiisty:

hansaplast: but deekjx says that videos are ok in the frontend, and i think that upnp just shares them

[21:18:12]

hansaplast:

*quiet

[21:18:21]

iamlindoro:

The frontend scan only pertains to using MythVideo from the frontend. uPnP has its own file scanner on the backend which occurs by default every 15 minutes

[21:18:36]

iamlindoro:

if you are using Storage groups for video, upnp will not work

[21:18:49]

iamlindoro:

the upnp scanner scans the local video directory setting

[21:19:30]

hansaplast:

which user runs the upnp scanner. Still could be rights prob

[21:19:52]

gbee:

it's run by the backend, so whatever user you have the backend running under

prob root. So guess not

[21:20:34]

hmm

[21:20:40]

gbee:

hope not :)

[21:21:01]

deekjx:

are you saying I need to leave the frontend up so that I can see them via the UPnP? I set my backend scan to 5 minutes

[21:21:04]

Hiisty:

deekjx: your ps3 can connect to the server?

[21:21:19]

deekjx:

yes, but it doesn't see any files

[21:21:23]

Hiisty:

no need for FE

[21:22:36]

iamlindoro:

no, I'm saying you need to configure the local video file setting to point at the appropriate directory, and if you are using storage groups for videos, then the uPnP scanner likely has no idea where to look

[21:22:50]

deekjx:

Hiisty: I go to Videos on the XMB on the PS3. I choose the MythTV Media Server. Then I chose Vidoes -> Videos_Root -> no files

[21:22:51]

so yes, you would use a frontend to set that value, but needn't leave it running

deekjx: i'm running also 0.22 FE and BE in the same machine, no storage groups and upnp works fine

[21:31:28]

[21:32:17]

sphery:

so not even using the X-specified DPI at all.

[21:32:29]

deekjx:

hmm, I guess I'll just reboot it all again. The family started watching a movie on the PS3 so will be a bit before I can test that out

[21:33:12]

natanojl:

sphery: I replaced that with qt_defaultDpiX/qt_defaultDpiY and now Qt responds to the DPI setting in X

yeah, no real hurry... they're not all that quick at getting around to them, anyway.

[21:36:25]

sphery:

they've applied one of 3 patches I gave them. One of the 2 unapplied ones is the most important (and fixes a pretty bad bug).

[21:36:28]

natanojl:

yeah, it was a bit of a mystery

[21:36:55]

sphery:

and now we know why it's not working

[21:37:44]

Yup

sphery: Is this the patch for the hung threads ?

sphery:

high-rez: no, I didn't do a patch for that one

[21:39:26]

high-rez:

I don't know why it happened, but that problem has mostly gone away for me.

[21:39:42]

high-rez:

(Increasing the WAF)

[21:39:50]

sphery:

I couldn't reproduce it, then someone found the Qt bug ( http://bugreports.qt.nokia.com/browse/QTBUG-5990 ), and I realized it's only on GUI apps.

[21:40:09]

sphery:

you mean the defunct process thing? Or am I talking about the wrong ticket?

[21:40:34]

high-rez:

I can't remember the exact message, but essentially NVP can't instantiate because another thread was already running.

[21:40:49]

sphery:

or perhaps you meant the deadlock when you tried to play back

[21:41:16]

high-rez:

Like, watching livetv, hit back to go to the menu, then go back to livetv, and it would fail complaining another thread was already running. Would have to restart mythfrontend.

[21:41:18]

sphery:

where I gave you the patch that removes the timer that we have that's doing the same as the QTimer

[21:41:26]

high-rez:

Yeah.

[21:41:30]

sphery:

You're not using the patch, now?

[21:41:42]

sphery:

all the patch does is change timing on the threads

[21:42:00]

sphery:

it "fixed" the issue as a side effect

[21:42:27]

high-rez:

I'm not quite sure if I'm running the patch now. I recompile way too often.

[21:42:30]

sphery:

we still need to properly fix the race conditions, but we had it mostly tuned to work well enough on most systems

[21:42:38]

sphery:

heh, just curious

[21:42:48]

high-rez:

What line should I look for in my tree ?

[21:42:58]

high-rez:

Actually I'll jsut svn diff

[21:43:03]

high-rez:

See if its all the same.

[21:43:07]

sphery:

I think after [23575] the patch will need an update

[21:43:30]

high-rez:

Yeah, not running it ATM. But things appear to have settled down – and I'm not quite sure why.

hi could someone tell me in .22 does myth have intelligent handling of multiple capture cards for the same video source?

[22:27:00]

bugger:

i.e. if you've got two overlaping recordings scheduled on the same channel, use only one card, not one of the first and the second on the second?

[22:27:23]

bugger:

or if there's a free tuner and the recording is scheduled on the one you're watching live tv on, automatically using the spare tuner?

[22:28:53]

bugger:

high-rez: no

[22:28:58]

I don't understand why you'd have two simultaneous recordings on the same channel – but myth will do multirec if you have two recordings on the same transport.

[22:29:07]

(same transport being a big difference)

[22:29:09]

[22:29:51]

high-rez:

Uhm, ok (but it works quite a bit different for digital than analog inputs).

[22:29:52]

bugger:

both on the channel 9

[22:30:15]

bugger:

the scheduler will always set up tuner 1 to do the first recording and tuner 2 to do the second recording

[22:30:46]

bugger:

why can't we have it just use the one tuner to do both recordings, in the overlap period it just stores the program from channel 9 to two files, one for the first recording and one for the second

[22:30:55]

bugger:

it'd be a far more efficient use of the tuners

Aha. I believe the answer to that question is because you haven't yet submitted the patch for that.

[22:31:24]

** high-rez ducks **

[22:31:31]

iamlindoro:

don't duck, that's the right answer

[22:31:39]

bugger:

high-rez: lol so it doesn't do that in .22

[22:31:52]

iamlindoro:

generally people starting sentences with "why can't" are the people who can't submit a patch in spite of how simple they like to make it sound

[22:31:54]

high-rez:

That said, if its digital, and you enabled multirec, then I believe it'll always use the same tuner.

[22:32:34]

bugger:

ah ok

[22:32:51]

high-rez:

Which is why its important to know if its digital (dvb, atsc) or not.

[22:33:01]

bugger:

iamlindoro: well in such a large project submitting a patch isn't just a matter of quick hack

[22:33:13]

iamlindoro:

bugger: Then you shouldn't phrase it as "why can't..."

[22:33:17]

bugger:

it'd take me weeks to even understand how to do it

[22:33:40]

iamlindoro:

as there are multiple very complicated issues to take into account, particularly whether the API makes such a thing simple and the implications for the scheduler

[22:33:58]

iamlindoro:

Yes, but you're the one who wants it-- so if it's worth the weeks you think it would take, then that's your cross to bear

[22:34:39]

[22:34:44]

kormoc:

it's less the scheduler and more getting the file writer to stream to multiple targets at the right points...

[22:34:46]

iamlindoro:

bugger: right, so it's definitely not a simple problem... it was the subject of an entire branch that was abandoned, and the people who *wrote* the scheduler were the ones who decided it was unfeaible

[22:35:11]

iamlindoro:

devinheitmueller: heh

[22:35:17]

ah ok, so multirec does it as a sideeffect of what multirec does

bugger:

iamlindoro: ah i figured it must have been considered

[22:35:51]

yunosh:

hi, what could cause prebuffering pauses only if watching livetv? i suspected network issues because this is a remote frontend via wlan and it only happens with high-bandwidth channels. but it happens *only* on livetv, not when watching recordings from the same channels

[22:36:01]

high-rez:

Sure, because it can tune two or more channel that are on the same transport... So you get what you want as long as you're dvb/atsc.

[22:36:09]

** devinheitmueller wonders where he can get a slice of decent apple pie in midtown Manhattan... **

how about my second questions is there automatic shifting of a recording to a spare tuner if you're watching live tv on the one it's scheduled for?

and i don't have any issues with the combined be/fe

since a lovely little upgrade

[22:39:55]

yunosh: well, it might not actually be prebuffering. The delay you are seeing when switching channels on LiveTV could just be a tuning lock delay.

[22:40:08]

high-rez:

What tuner?

[22:40:27]

devinheitmueller:

But yeah, if you don't see it on the same system that is a combined fe/be, then it's probably not a tuning delay.

kormoc: i recently came across some problem with someone using innodb and jamu

[22:54:54]

since its transactional, jamu was making all the changes to the database, and then they all got rolled back to nothing when jamu exited

wagnerrp: by default, everything is a transaction and by default everything auto-commits. You can turn off the auto-commit so then it'll rollback on disconnect automatically, but that's sorta bad practice when mixing innodb + myisam queries

[22:56:49]

kormoc:

as the innodb rolls back but the myisam doesn't

[22:57:17]

wagnerrp:

probably why no one has ever complained about it before

Do you have any idea what the power consumption actually is?

wagnerrp:

bleh... its not worth finding the logs for when iamlindoro threatened to kick him

[23:06:18]

bjd:

just cos it says green.....

[23:06:52]

bjd is now known as green-bjd

[23:07:00]

iamlindoro:

yeah, and then the tuners stay at full power full time sucking out juice like there's no tomorrow

[23:07:11]

** green-bjd is an eco friendly IRC user **

[23:07:28]

devinheitmueller:

I'm curious what people think "green" is in this context?

[23:07:31]

devinheitmueller:

20W?

[23:07:32]

wagnerrp:

really? i just thought you were jealous of something

[23:07:33]

devinheitmueller:

50?

[23:08:02]

green-bjd:

devinheitmueller: depends, if he's running vm's ...

[23:08:21]

devinheitmueller:

iamlindoro: I'm quite confident the tuner draw is usually a relatively low percentage on a typical desktop system.

[23:08:35]

wagnerrp:

devinheitmueller: i wouldnt be so sure

[23:08:47]

wagnerrp:

dont tuners generally idle 5–10W?

[23:08:50]

devinheitmueller:

wagnerrp: Well, what type of numbers are we talking about?

[23:08:59]

devinheitmueller:

depends on the tuner.

[23:09:27]

devinheitmueller:

For example, my typical USB tuners do around 350mw @ 5V.

[23:09:41]

wagnerrp:

i mean PCI cards

[23:09:56]

devinheitmueller:

Sure, the PCI cards draw more, but not *that* much more.

[23:10:08]

devinheitmueller:

(not that I have numbers to back up that assertion)

[23:10:09]

wagnerrp:

i have no reference for that, just some value i saw thrown out at one point

[23:10:17]

gbee:

my new iron claims to be green, reckons that it will save me £50, of course small print states that the £50 is a estimated value based on current energy prices and an assumed lifespan of 8 years, I've not once had an iron last 8 years, lucky if they last 4

[23:11:05]

devinheitmueller:

For example, last week I took a six month old Dell Inspiron, dropped in a new power supply and Nvidia GT210 video card, and shaved off nearly 20 watts.

[23:11:12]

devinheitmueller:

(it idles at 57W)

[23:11:59]

devinheitmueller:

I'm just trying to figure out whether that is "horrific" or "terrific".

[23:12:13]

wagnerrp:

yeah, the compute nodes we have at work (2.66 C2D, 2GB DDR2–800, intel graphics, 250GB) idle around 45W

[23:12:19]

kormoc:

hrm

[23:12:29]

wagnerrp:

peak load is about double that

[23:12:35]

green-bjd:

:)

[23:12:46]

devinheitmueller:

Well, on this system, HD 1080i playback consumes 67W.

[23:12:48]

green-bjd:

i just killed a load of HP boxes at work

kamikaze2112 (kamikaze2112!~kiddt@kiddt.bmts.com) has left #mythtv-users ()

[23:13:04]

green-bjd:

they idled at 450w :)

[23:13:11]

devinheitmueller:

Oh, it's 67W during LiveTV playback of 1080i, so that's both capturing and displaying.

[23:13:43]

wagnerrp:

we could probably drop another 5W off if we bothered spinning down the hard drives

[23:13:47]

devinheitmueller:

My IT hat would say "67 watts is great". My hardware engineer hat would say "67 watts is horrible"

[23:14:31]

kormoc:

my mini is 13w idle, my usb drive is 8 watts idle, and whatever the hdpvr uses idle

[23:15:03]

wagnerrp:

devinheitmueller: on the other hand, consider you only run that box a couple hours a night, and put it in standby the rest of the time

[23:15:07]

devinheitmueller:

Yeah, 13 is more around where I would like to get. I have doubts that is possible with a generic desktop system though.

[23:15:09]

wagnerrp:

your power bill drops below $10/yr

[23:15:41]

devinheitmueller:

Yeah, I need a good power management strategy that takes into account standby. In my case, I have a combined frontend/backend.

[23:15:52]

devinheitmueller:

Hence it would have to properly come out of suspend to record programs.

[23:15:53]

green-bjd is now known as bjd

i think mid-30s for playback is about the best you can expect to get with desktop hardware

[23:16:03]

gbee:

my printer is supposedly 8w idle, until now that seemed a little high but not unreasonable

[23:16:15]

and thats including stuff like underclocking and undervolting to only what you need

wagnerrp:

if you want lower, you need laptop hardware

[23:17:00]

devinheitmueller:

Yeah, I've done zero actual optimization for power consumption. The only reason I had any numbers was because I was replacing the power supply and video card anyway, and happened to have a Kill-A-Watt kicking around.

[23:17:08]

kormoc:

I wonder if my getting a snazzy mini will be cheaper in the long run

[23:17:31]

that means people are going to come after me for getting their imdb grabbers back

send them after me-- and besides, it was two reasons, not just one
