| [00:51:52] | jolaren: | dorgan, I have the same mobo, works fine for me |
| [01:00:56] | dorgan: | jolaren: what size power supply do you use? |
| [01:01:15] | dorgan: | meaning Watts? |
| [01:01:31] | wagnerrp: | dorgan: what do you intend to put in this BE? |
| [01:01:39] | dorgan: | BE/FE |
| [01:01:52] | dorgan: | inside this case: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811204035 |
| [01:02:35] | wagnerrp: | chances are with those parts listed, you cannot install enough drives in that case to max out a 300W supply |
| [01:02:56] | dorgan: | oh yeah 300? I was think minimum 450 |
| [01:02:57] | bonelifer|BBL: | I have that video card. From reviews at different sites, it seems a good buy. It only draws power from the pci-e slot so it doesn't need extra power. |
| [01:03:07] | dorgan: | nice |
| [01:03:23] | wagnerrp: | the processor is going to pull 65W maximum, more likely 20–40W |
| [01:03:32] | wagnerrp: | the video card is going to pull another 40–50W |
| [01:03:37] | wagnerrp: | the board, maybe 15W |
| [01:03:45] | wagnerrp: | 10–15 for the memory |
| [01:04:03] | wagnerrp: | and 15–20W for spinup of each hard drive |
| [01:04:13] | dorgan: | so i guess going with the HDHomerun works out well less power/heat in case |
| [01:04:18] | jolaren: | dorgan, 400w |
| [01:04:46] | dorgan: | will i need a micro-ATX power supply for the case I listed? |
| [01:04:50] | jolaren: | dorgan, i wouldve gone with a 300w but none les was found |
| [01:05:04] | wagnerrp: | that case appears to take a standard ATX supply |
| [01:05:14] | wagnerrp: | there is no such things as a 'micro-atx' power supply |
| [01:05:53] | bonelifer|BBL: | Looks like it would use a regular ATX power supply |
| [01:05:55] | wagnerrp: | youre probably thinking of SFX and TFX that you often see in use by inwin and shuttle machines |
| [01:06:37] | wagnerrp: | which are not that frequently found, and even less often found worthwhile |
| [01:07:45] | bonelifer|BBL: | From going to user reviews and searching for power supply the first review with those terms says: "Plenty of room, supports ATX power supply" |
| [01:07:55] | jolaren: | the hauppage wintv nova-t 500 are like 90euro's in sweden :( and so cheap in the us |
| [01:08:13] | wagnerrp: | you can buy nova-t cards in the US? |
| [01:08:36] | jolaren: | you can't? thought so |
| [01:08:39] | jolaren: | perhaps it was aussies |
| [01:08:52] | wagnerrp: | we dont have DVB-T |
| [01:08:56] | Beirdo: | US doesn't have much (any?) DVB-T |
| [01:08:57] | bonelifer|BBL: | anything can be got on ebay. :) |
| [01:08:59] | wagnerrp: | a nova-t would be absolutely worthless over here |

| [01:09:39] | Beirdo: | Wow. I'm sure Aussies would be offended to be mistaken for Americans :) |
| [01:09:43] | wagnerrp: | 90E isnt bad for a dual digital tuner |
| [01:09:58] | jolaren: | I guess not :-) |
| [01:10:14] | jolaren: | I installed a 15 usd 1x tuner dvb-t from dealextreme on a friends computer |
| [01:10:16] | jolaren: | worked fine |
| [01:10:19] | Beirdo: | 90Euro's what in US$, 130ish? |
| [01:10:24] | jolaren: | was usb tho (i dont want things stickin out) |
| [01:10:27] | wagnerrp: | ~$120 |
| [01:10:43] | Beirdo: | that's not bad :) |
| [01:10:51] | wagnerrp: | no, not at all |
| [01:11:02] | jolaren: | 90euro equals 121,87 |
| [01:11:07] | wagnerrp: | a bit cheaper than you usually find 2250s |
| [01:11:12] | Beirdo: | I should get one to install into justinh's machine so he can capture BBC7 for me :) |
| [01:11:12] | wagnerrp: | and much cheaper than HDHRs |
| [01:11:15] | Beirdo: | hehe |
| [01:11:26] | Beirdo: | just kidding, BTW |
| [01:11:39] | jolaren: | just buy a 15 usd dvb-t card from china :P |
| [01:11:50] | Beirdo: | does me no good unless I'm in the UK :) |
| [01:12:14] | jolaren: | :) |
| [01:12:48] | jolaren: | I guess I'll have to invest in annother hauppage card |
| [01:12:52] | Beirdo: | with satellite, you could likely receive it :) but I am being silly... the internet still works for me |
| [01:12:53] | wagnerrp: | dont you have a nice big antenna over there that could probably pick it up? |
| [01:13:09] | jolaren: | Just that I have a pretty weak channel strenght tho already and I believe a splitter would make it even worse |
| [01:13:34] | wagnerrp: | i hear no one is using it currently from lack of funding |
| [01:13:43] | Beirdo: | amplify then split |
| [01:14:06] | Beirdo: | heh. can't aim that puppy at European birds |

| [01:14:30] | jolaren: | Beirdo, amplify, how? |
| [01:14:33] | Beirdo: | Think it's still running though |
| [01:14:36] | wagnerrp: | sure... but tha gain is so high you could probably pick up reflections off the ionosphere |
| [01:14:40] | Beirdo: | ummm, an amplifier? |
| [01:15:19] | Beirdo: | splitters are only 3dB loss |
| [01:15:28] | wagnerrp: | s/only/at minimum/ |
| [01:15:30] | jolaren: | Beirdo, I googled for a picture now.. I understand you now |
| [01:15:44] | Beirdo: | well, 2-way are only 3.5dB usually |
| [01:15:59] | Beirdo: | google Arecibo observatory |
| [01:16:04] | Beirdo: | THAT is an antenna :) |
| [01:16:17] | jolaren: | hehe wifi bazooka <3 |
| [01:16:19] | Beirdo: | radio observatory :) |
| [01:16:31] | wagnerrp: | you hear anything more about that getting shut down? |
| [01:16:33] | Beirdo: | the source of SETI data |
| [01:16:44] | Beirdo: | nah, they say that every year |
| [01:16:52] | wagnerrp: | last i heard, Cornell didnt have the money to pay for it |
| [01:16:55] | Beirdo: | it will cost billions to mothball it safely |
| [01:17:07] | jolaren: | Some guy at holiday location (whatever to call it?) has connected his router to his parabolic antenn on the roof |
| [01:17:20] | jolaren: | The place where I have my country houes |
| [01:17:21] | jolaren: | house' |
| [01:17:38] | jolaren: | That's pretty sweet, he can take signals from the other side of the water |
| [01:17:39] | wagnerrp: | really? why? it didnt cost anything like that to build |
| [01:17:55] | Beirdo: | because they'd have to put it back to natural state |
| [01:17:58] | Beirdo: | stupid laws :) |
| [01:18:01] | wagnerrp: | ah |
| [01:18:11] | wagnerrp: | nah |
| [01:18:16] | wagnerrp: | just fill it with water |
| [01:18:21] | Beirdo: | can't |
| [01:18:22] | jolaren: | I'm so sad I don't have Comedy Central HD |
| [01:18:26] | wagnerrp: | artificial lake |
| [01:18:28] | wagnerrp: | you lie |
| [01:18:29] | Beirdo: | it's in the mountains... |
| [01:18:29] | jolaren: | I just can't wait til it'll send in Sweden |
| [01:18:32] | wagnerrp: | i saw it in a movie |
| [01:18:39] | Beirdo: | hehe |
| [01:18:39] | wagnerrp: | movies are real i tell you |
| [01:18:46] | Beirdo: | yeah, and they said it was Cuba |
| [01:18:52] | wagnerrp: | minor details |
| [01:18:53] | Beirdo: | retarded 007 |
| [01:19:04] | Beirdo: | Cuba has better rum |
| [01:19:09] | Beirdo: | and better cigars |
| [01:19:31] | Beirdo: | both fully legal for Canadians in Canada :) |
| [01:19:31] | jolaren: | I'm thinkin about lowering the fan on the CPU (it sounds alot) I can do that from bios, should I check something before doing so? |
| [01:19:35] | wagnerrp: | that was a great movie... only decent bond we got out of brosnen though |
| [01:19:51] | Beirdo: | my favorite rum is Cuban... my favorite cigars are too. |
| [01:19:51] | Beirdo: | hehe |
| [01:19:56] | wagnerrp: | jolaren: cpu temperature |
| [01:19:59] | Beirdo: | yeah, it was a good movie |
| [01:20:01] | wagnerrp: | can also be done in the bios |
| [01:20:12] | wagnerrp: | they went downhill from there.... |
| [01:20:39] | Beirdo: | They went downhill after Connery, IMHO |
| [01:20:53] | wagnerrp: | the dalton ones were pretty good |
| [01:21:04] | Beirdo: | yeah, but not as good :) |
| [01:21:22] | Beirdo: | he was a good plateau, but lower than Connery :) |
| [01:21:47] | wagnerrp: | and of course Walken is the greatest evil mastermind ever |
| [01:22:00] | Beirdo: | Oh yeah, he was good :) |
| [01:22:21] | bonelifer: | what's that? more cowbell? |
| [01:22:47] | Beirdo: | let's flood Silicon Valley :) |
| [01:22:48] | wagnerrp: | nah, more oil wells |
| [01:23:00] | wagnerrp: | its cool, i have a blimp |
| [01:23:07] | Beirdo: | heh |
| [01:23:20] | bonelifer: | Yes, sir, got your cowbell right here. He's good at suprising people. |
| [01:24:15] | Beirdo: | OMG, why did I buy gummy bears |
| [01:24:27] | Beirdo: | never go to Walgreens when you're hungry |
| [01:24:28] | bonelifer: | because they're YUMMY? |
| [01:24:31] | Beirdo: | bad bad bad |
| [01:24:40] | Beirdo: | that they are |
| [01:24:47] | Beirdo: | and keyboard-friendly |
| [01:24:51] | bonelifer: | Never go to Walgreens period. |
| [01:24:58] | Beirdo: | but not really nutritious |
| [01:24:59] | Beirdo: | bah |
| [01:25:12] | Beirdo: | I had to pick up my prescriptions :) |
| [01:25:16] | bonelifer: | My pharmacist would beat me senseless if she knew I had been there. |
| [01:25:41] | bonelifer: | She hates them like nothing else. |
| [01:25:44] | Beirdo: | of course. |
| [01:26:00] | Beirdo: | because they have better prices, and likely wouldn't hire her? :) |
| [01:26:10] | wagnerrp: | any suggestion of what to use to re-lube a fan? |
| [01:26:22] | Beirdo: | heheh |
| [01:26:27] | Beirdo: | sorry... |
| [01:26:31] | bonelifer: | She used to work for them. Plus from my own experience, they are RUDE, don't know what they are doing, etc. |
| [01:26:37] | wagnerrp: | i tried graphite, but that didnt last too long |
| [01:26:38] | Beirdo: | my brain went straight to the gutter, wagnerrp |
| [01:26:42] | Beirdo: | KY |
| [01:26:45] | Beirdo: | hehe |
| [01:26:49] | Beirdo: | anyways. |
| [01:27:18] | Beirdo: | bonelifer: I'm sure it's different in different places... not that it matters anyways |
| [01:27:43] | wagnerrp: | i went to walgreens a couple months ago to pick up a prescription |
| [01:27:45] | bonelifer: | We have like 3 Wal-Greens, its the same all over. |
| [01:27:58] | wagnerrp: | it was like 7:30pm, and while i was waiting, they got a call |
| [01:28:19] | wagnerrp: | they had it on speakerphone, and i overheard the person on the other end as 'how do i tell if someone has alcohol poisoning' |
| [01:28:45] | Beirdo: | if I want a 24hr pharmacy.. I have a choice of Walgreens... or Walgreens |
| [01:29:27] | bonelifer: | I think that USADrugs is 24 hour drive through. |
| [01:29:45] | Beirdo: | yeah, but I'd have to drive across the ocean to get there |
| [01:30:05] | Beirdo: | CVS *just* came to Puerto Rico, and aren't open yet |
| [01:30:20] | bonelifer: | Plus we have a place called Crawfords that delivers to your house and I believe they will come in to fill an order if it's an emergency. |
| [01:30:47] | bonelifer: | are you from Puerto Rico? |
| [01:30:53] | Beirdo: | no. |
| [01:30:56] | Beirdo: | From Canada |
| [01:31:01] | Beirdo: | living in Puerto Rico :) |
| [01:31:04] | bonelifer: | No. Not that. |
| [01:31:08] | bonelifer: | cries. |
| [01:31:09] | bonelifer: | :) |
| [01:31:30] | Beirdo: | heh |
| [01:31:53] | bonelifer: | a friend of mine just moved to Illinois from there. His dad is with the US Air Force. |
| [01:31:58] | Beirdo: | so much for the gummy bears |
| [01:32:23] | Beirdo: | It's nice down here... |
| [01:32:34] | Beirdo: | but the power grid blows |
| [01:32:40] | bonelifer: | I have this bad habit of eating the whole bag of gummy bears, bad I know. |
| [01:32:47] | Beirdo: | yeah me too |
| [01:32:49] | Beirdo: | hehe |
| [01:32:51] | bonelifer: | They just moved from Canada. :) |
| [01:33:17] | Beirdo: | heh |
| [01:33:35] | bonelifer: | I don't think his dad has ever been to Puerto Rico. |
| [01:33:52] | Beirdo: | Ohhh, CSI Miami... in Spanish |
| [01:34:02] | Beirdo: | no Air Force base here anymore |
| [01:34:25] | Beirdo: | Aguadilla used to have one... it's now long decommissioned |
| [01:34:31] | bonelifer: | I have all the Spanish channels disabled so you have to manually type the channel number in. |
| [01:34:36] | Beirdo: | Ramey Air Force Base |
| [01:34:39] | wagnerrp: | what does the language matter? |
| [01:34:43] | Beirdo: | if I did that, I'd have one channel |
| [01:34:49] | wagnerrp: | words dont take his sunglasses on and off |
| [01:35:04] | Beirdo: | and don't make the women any less attractive |
| [01:35:07] | bonelifer: | At one time he was a good actor, not anymore. |
| [01:35:25] | wagnerrp: | when was that? |
| [01:35:34] | bonelifer: | Before I was born? |
| [01:35:36] | bonelifer: | :) |
| [01:35:38] | wagnerrp: | when he got his ass kicked by rambo? |
| [01:35:38] | Beirdo: | heh |
| [01:35:52] | Beirdo: | I don't mind his acting |
| [01:35:53] | bonelifer: | and I'll be 31 in April |
| [01:36:05] | Beirdo: | his attitude however... |
| [01:36:25] | Beirdo: | Mr. "I'm too good for NYPD Blue" |
| [01:36:30] | Beirdo: | OK, loser |
| [01:36:38] | bonelifer: | Also his character need extradited to Brazil, if the people he arrest aren't above the law and he's going to give them a hard time. Then he needs to do hard time for that murder. |
| [01:36:59] | Beirdo: | quit making sense. |
| [01:37:04] | Beirdo: | it's TV, not reality |
| [01:37:12] | bonelifer: | I'm talking 30 years hard labor |
| [01:37:12] | wagnerrp: | either of you watch burn notice? |
| [01:37:18] | Beirdo: | yeah |
| [01:37:19] | kormoc: | NOES! IT'S THE TRUTH! |
| [01:37:20] | Beirdo: | when I can |
| [01:37:23] | bonelifer: | Love it. |
| [01:37:56] | wagnerrp: | they had bruce campbell mimic the dramatic eyewear last week |
| [01:38:16] | Beirdo: | and I missed it |
| [01:38:21] | bonelifer: | I missed it. I had to go walk the bags of fur otherwise known as my sisters dogs. |
| [01:38:22] | Beirdo: | dang |
| [01:38:38] | Beirdo: | go pick up chicks |
| [01:38:49] | Beirdo: | that's what dogs are for... don't you watch TV? |
| [01:39:06] | bonelifer: | 5 dogs, all large, all live INSIDE the HOUSE. |
| [01:39:14] | Beirdo: | puppies work best |
| [01:39:22] | bonelifer: | They probably wouldn't work so good for that. |
| [01:39:23] | Beirdo: | what is she thinking? |
| [01:39:36] | bonelifer: | You ASSume to much Beirdo. |
| [01:39:42] | wagnerrp: | huh... seems the bearing doesnt use lubrication |
| [01:39:49] | Beirdo: | ohhh, she wasn't? :) |
| [01:39:51] | wagnerrp: | a good cleaning and the fan works great |
| [01:40:02] | wagnerrp: | can that be right? |
| [01:40:03] | bonelifer: | dog hoarder |
| [01:40:39] | Beirdo: | when the dog food budget exceeds the human food budget, it's time to stop collecting mutts |
| [01:41:01] | bonelifer: | the two chocolate labs yank you around. So I yanked right back with the lead real hard every other step for awhile and they learned REAL SLOW. |
| [01:41:08] | dorgan: | just ordered: http://www.newegg.com/Product/ComboBundleDeta . . . p;Tpk=328159 plus HDHome Run on amazon |
| [01:41:12] | Beirdo: | hehe |
| [01:41:19] | Beirdo: | labs are great dogs though |
| [01:41:32] | Beirdo: | stubborn, but great dogs |
| [01:41:40] | bonelifer: | Well these are dogs that were abandoned and they never REALLY trained them. |
| [01:41:47] | Beirdo: | yeah |
| [01:41:59] | Beirdo: | a 80+ lb untrained furry missile |
| [01:42:27] | bonelifer: | The male is large than the rest. He's a complete WIMP. hollar at him even a little and he runs under the table. |
| [01:42:46] | Beirdo: | awww, poor abused dog |
| [01:43:06] | Beirdo: | I hate it when dogs have been abused so much they are scared silly like that |
| [01:43:13] | bonelifer: | it doesn't take a lot to rattle my chain and he's a little dense. therefore my chain rattles a lot with him. |
| [01:43:14] | Beirdo: | I feel like abusing the former ownes |
| [01:44:29] | bonelifer: | He should realize don't yank me and he gets to stay out longer, yank me till my shoulder almost pulls out of socket and he barely has time to pee and poop and it's back in. Like I said, real dense. |
| [01:44:44] | Beirdo: | yeah well |
| [01:44:54] | bonelifer: | and she's hyper stupid. |
| [01:45:22] | bonelifer: | really needs a farm or something she'd be good with farm animals. |
| [01:45:32] | bonelifer: | it'd give her something to chase. |

| [04:49:22] | slickrick: | actually not drop them, put purge all the data from them. |
| [04:49:50] | wagnerrp: | sure |
| [04:50:44] | slickrick: | cool ... i'i guess i shouldn't delete videosource tho. :) |
| [04:51:24] | wagnerrp: | metadata*, cast, genre, and country |
| [04:52:09] | slickrick: | great, thats what i was thinking. thanks wagnerrp. |
| [04:55:05] | slickrick: | what about videocategory? |
| [04:55:15] | wagnerrp: | that one too |
| [04:55:31] | wagnerrp: | technically, you can leave category, genre, country, and cast |

| [05:08:10] | slickrick: | oh, like the numbering for the intid column? |
| [05:08:16] | wagnerrp: | right |
| [05:08:35] | wagnerrp: | alternatively, you could just unmount your media directory |
| [05:08:37] | wagnerrp: | and rescan |
| [05:08:46] | wagnerrp: | mythvideo will flush everything on its own |
| [05:09:08] | slickrick: | how would i reset the numbering otherwise? |
| [05:09:32] | slickrick: | i didn't notice any numbering wierdness since i haven't re-run jamu yet. |
| [05:09:46] | wagnerrp: | the only way to reset the numbering is to do so manually with a mysql call |
| [05:09:55] | wagnerrp: | its not a problem |
| [05:10:27] | wagnerrp: | i just found it annoying when my numbers were in the tens of thousands from repeated fresh scans |
| [05:10:43] | slickrick: | yeah i can see why. |
| [05:12:21] | slickrick: | question about jamu ... i find it doesn't work for me unless i specify the file locations in mythtvsetup. but, i don't want to use sg's. |
| [05:12:39] | slickrick: | for example i have fanrtdir: defined in my jamu.conf and it seems to ignore it completely. |
| [05:12:58] | wagnerrp: | then define them in the mythvideo setup in the frontend |
| [05:13:18] | wagnerrp: | why dont you want to use storage groups? |
| [05:13:31] | slickrick: | because then i can't use xine and mplayer ... |
| [05:13:46] | wagnerrp: | why do you want to use xine and mplayer? |
| [05:14:05] | slickrick: | gee i dunno ... force of habit? =) |
| [05:14:40] | wagnerrp: | dont expect external player support to ever get added to storage groups |
| [05:14:56] | slickrick: | really? |
| [05:15:02] | slickrick: | this doc says 0.23 http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/MythVideo |
| [05:15:30] | wagnerrp: | the only way to add support is to mount a filesystem for those players to use |
| [05:15:33] | slickrick: | it sort of indicated sg's were experimental in 0.22 as well which is what i am using. |
| [05:15:39] | wagnerrp: | or at least produce a file pipe for them to read from |
| [05:16:29] | slickrick: | i don't mind doing that. i don't see huge advantages for sg's in my setup ... massive backend, and multiple diskless frontends. |
| [05:16:50] | wagnerrp: | theres absolutely a huge advantage, you dont have to use NFS |
| [05:17:09] | wagnerrp: | and in 0.24, there is a planned 'file system watcher' which will take the place of manual scanning |
| [05:17:37] | [R]: | isn't that what inotify is for? |
| [05:17:48] | slickrick: | i know nfs is old and slow, but what is the disadvantage? i have had no problem with it playing all my media on my frontends. |
| [05:18:02] | wagnerrp: | slickrick: the user has to set it up |
| [05:18:20] | slickrick: | that a good point. |

| [05:18:42] | wagnerrp: | the whole purpose of SGs is to simplify things for the user |
| [05:18:51] | slickrick: | tho in a lot of regular environments it's on person settings the whole thing up. ie. i set it all up... gf complains when it doesn't work. |
| [05:19:12] | slickrick: | maybe i need to give the internal player a go again. |
| [05:19:53] | achandra: | Not sure if anyone else has run into this...but...even after removing video storage groups I had a tough time playing iso's as described in the .22 guides for removal of storage groups. After moving the iso's to /media/videos and pointing frontend to this location now all is okay. Anyone else run into this? |
| [05:20:27] | wagnerrp: | achandra: ISOs are simply not yet supported, due to a limitation in the 3rd party dvd playback library |
| [05:20:33] | wagnerrp: | you have to use local access for that |
| [05:21:06] | slickrick: | wagnerrp: so isin't that a huge limitation to using sg's? if people are backing up their dvd collection as iso's and can no longer play them. |

| [05:21:47] | achandra: | wagnerrp, what i ran into is that though the /var/lib/mythtv/videos directory resides and even if you remove the storage group from backend...for some reason the FE doesnt like them to live there. Even if i enabled file browsing mode...it didnt work, until i re-defined a new location. |

| [05:23:01] | wagnerrp: | foxbuntu: yes |
| [05:23:07] | iamlindoro: | you left all the metadata that *pointed* at your now deleted SG |
| [05:23:28] | iamlindoro: | which is why it still didn't work. You need to remove the Video SG, set up a local path, and *rescan* |
| [05:23:48] | achandra: | iamlindoro, i see...and now that i created the /media/videos...the metadata was recreated upon downloading the new metadata? |
| [05:24:02] | iamlindoro: | No, the metadata was reset when you scanned |
| [05:24:03] | foxbuntu: | wagnerrp, one last ?, when setting it up, does it show up as seperate device nodes for each encoder? |

| [05:31:15] | slickrick: | it always comlains about fanart but when i run ./jamu.py -f -C ./jamu.conf | grep fanartdir i see it's set. |
| [05:32:04] | wagnerrp: | you cant set them in jamu.conf |
| [05:32:36] | wagnerrp: | set them in mythfrontend, in the mythvideo setup |
| [05:32:52] | slickrick: | you kidding me .... my sample jamu.conf example that came with my distro shows a setting for them. |
| [05:32:52] | wagnerrp: | local folders get set in the frontend, sgs get set in mythtv-setup |
| [05:33:03] | wagnerrp: | and jamu simply reads either from the database |
| [05:34:00] | slickrick: | okay, but what if jamu is not running on a frontend? like if it's running on a backend with no fe? |
| [05:34:13] | wagnerrp: | then set up mythvideo on that backend |
| [05:35:04] | slickrick: | i don't want to do that ... besides my backend has no X. |
| [05:35:26] | wagnerrp: | so forward the display to another machine that does have a X server |
| [05:36:03] | slickrick: | i should have thought of that ... it's what i do with mythtvsetup. thanks. |
| [05:37:16] | wagnerrp: | the folders you define in the config file are to allow jamu to be used independently of mythtv and its database |
| [05:37:19] | achandra: | Also..with respect to the fast forwarding of videos...notice that anything faster than 3x ff causes a crash of the video. any ideas? |
| [05:37:47] | wagnerrp: | achandra: anything faster than 3x causes mythtv to start jumping by keyframe |
| [05:38:05] | wagnerrp: | the internal player is designed to use exact seeking with a prebuilt keyframe list |
| [05:38:29] | wagnerrp: | and has problems with playback of some content if it doesnt have that |
| [05:40:27] | wagnerrp: | you can try building a seektable for that specific file with mythcommflag |
| [05:42:20] | slickrick: | as always thanks for your help wagnerrp. installing mythvideo on the BE works great. |
| [05:43:28] | wagnerrp: | iamlindoro: i assume at this point, the ISO stuff isnt going to make it in for 0.23? |

| [05:44:07] | wagnerrp: | fair enough |
| [05:44:27] | iamlindoro: | but yeah, since we're in freeze it's a definite no |
| [05:44:31] | jamesd2: | wagnerrp, do you have a url that explains how to do that? |
| [05:44:42] | wagnerrp: | jamesd2: to do....? |
| [05:45:08] | jamesd2: | wagnerrp, you can try building a seektable for that specific file with mythcommflag |
| [05:45:44] | wagnerrp: | http://mythtv.org/wiki/Mythcommflag#Non_Flagging_Operations |
| [05:46:01] | wagnerrp: | use the '--video' and '--rebuild' options |
| [05:46:10] | GadgetWisdomGuru: | Out of curiosity, is there a master list of the new features for 0.23? |
| [05:46:43] | wagnerrp: | http://mythtv.org/wiki/Release_Notes_-_0.23 |
| [05:46:44] | jamesd2: | wagnerrp, can it flag commercials and do the --video --rebuilt options all in one pass? |
| [05:46:47] | wagnerrp: | although its rather vacent |
| [05:47:08] | GadgetWisdomGuru: | That's why I asked. I'd seen that page. |
| [05:47:41] | wagnerrp: | jamesd2: not sure why you'd want to |
| [05:48:31] | jamesd2: | wagnerrp, so that the show supports fast forward at more than 3x and still have commercial flagged. but after reading i see that i can't do it... |
| [05:48:57] | wagnerrp: | recordings will already have a seektable built when you record them |
| [05:49:06] | wagnerrp: | and mythtranscode will rebuild it after a transcode |
| [05:49:23] | wagnerrp: | unless something is broken, there should be no need to build a seektable against a recording |
| [05:49:35] | wagnerrp: | and there should be no need to build a commflag against a non-recording |
| [05:50:38] | achandra: | wagnerrp, i find that the function for 3x, 5x etc works okay for recorded tv. Just barfs when trying to do it on transcoded dvd's. |
| [05:50:56] | wagnerrp: | achandra: very possible, for the above reason |
| [05:51:02] | achandra: | k |
| [05:51:03] | jamesd2: | isee the same thing as achandra does... and really fast forward basicly only mutes the audio and moves the file at little more than real time i found it was haster to choose shorten play back time option to 1.5 times normal |
| [05:51:31] | wagnerrp: | jamesd2: fast forward will run at 3x, or whatever the fastest your CPU is capable of decoding at |
| [05:51:36] | jamesd2: | i see it on recorded tv, don't use dvd's in my fast forward |
| [05:51:40] | wagnerrp: | 3x and below do a full decode |
| [05:51:47] | achandra: | wagnerrp, however...im just happy even in experimental mode, my iso's appear to work just fine now. |
| [05:52:01] | wagnerrp: | 5x and above just jump between keyframes |
| [05:52:31] | jamesd2: | i have a 2.4ghz dual core opteron, 4GB ram, and 256GB sata 7200 rpm disks and nvidia fx1400 ... it should handle faster than realtime |
| [05:52:40] | wagnerrp: | what content? |
| [05:53:05] | jamesd2: | recorded tv off a kworld 115 digital so HD |
| [05:53:06] | wagnerrp: | a 256GB disk drive? |
| [05:53:16] | jamesd2: | well a pair of them |
| [05:53:25] | wagnerrp: | there is no such thing |
| [05:53:35] | jamesd2: | okay its actually 250GB |
| [05:53:49] | jamesd2: | sorry fingers are used to typing ram amount s |
| [05:53:59] | wagnerrp: | anyway, yes... it should be able to handle 2–3x realtime of full bitrate ATSC |
| [05:54:10] | wagnerrp: | probably closer to 2 |
| [05:57:08] | jamesd2: | if the economy didn't suck right now i would of probably upgraded the video card and got larger harddrives by now... the cpus are basicly maxed out at 2.4ghz dual core with 1MB l2 per core on a 939 motherboard. |
| [05:57:30] | wagnerrp: | yeah... not much you can do with an old 939 board |
| [05:57:33] | jamesd2: | getting faster doesn't make financial sense |
| [05:57:54] | wagnerrp: | if you can even find a faster chip for purchase |
| [05:59:02] | jamesd2: | there are 2.8ghz dual core i beleve, but its like $300+ and then am2 cpu and mother board is less, but the system has 4GB of ecc ram ( eh it was a gift from Sun.com) couldn't turn it down. |
| [05:59:55] | wagnerrp: | also consider that was a new system 5 years ago |
| [06:00:29] | jamesd2: | yeah i had it about 4 years now... Sun ultra 20 large config with extra harddrive... |
| [06:02:15] | slickrick: | i can't believe there is no setting in jamu to make it assume or try the filename as inetref. |
| [06:02:47] | GadgetWisdomGuru: | I wonder exactly how little processing power you can get away with on a MythTV system. Anyone had any luck running the whole thing on an Atom, assuming playback offloading to the GPU? |
| [06:03:09] | [R]: | well you're not going to get good comm flagging |
| [06:03:23] | [R]: | but a dual core atom will work... assuming no analog encoding has to be done |
| [06:03:42] | GadgetWisdomGuru: | Well, analog is dead, figuratively speaking, anyway. |
| [06:04:11] | bonelifer: | YES. New non-oem Cooler installed on the CPU. |
| [06:04:20] | bonelifer: | that mama-jama is huge for something that's smaller than other non-stock coolers. |

| [06:07:21] | GadgetWisdomGuru: | It would be close quarters in a MicroATX. |
| [06:07:42] | bonelifer: | well it's the Antec Fusion Remote Black, so height isn't a problem |
| [06:07:57] | GadgetWisdomGuru: | I got something similar recently, but I opted for a vertical fan |
| [06:08:37] | GadgetWisdomGuru: | I had the height, but the area around it wasn't large. |
| [06:09:16] | bonelifer: | I was worried at first earlier. Having to remove the oem mounting plate. But then I thought, hey you're using a non-stock cooler, stop the madness of being worried., You've already voided the warranty on the CPU as the instructions said using non-oem heatsinks void the warranty |
| [06:09:46] | GadgetWisdomGuru: | It does? I've never noticed that. |
| [06:09:53] | GadgetWisdomGuru: | maybe I should actually read the manual. |

| [06:14:13] | GadgetWisdomGuru: | Achandra, there is Mythnetvision, I suppose |

| [06:15:25] | wagnerrp: | achandra: why not add a menu entry for boxee? |
| [06:15:40] | GadgetWisdomGuru: | So I need very little power in the front and a bunch in the back for transcoding. |
| [06:15:43] | achandra: | wagnerrp: really? is that possible? |
| [06:15:50] | wagnerrp: | just edit the menu xml |

| [06:16:10] | achandra: | wagnerrp, i see cool. |
| [06:16:15] | wagnerrp: | when you call an external command, mythtv stops responding to lirc commands until it exits |
| [06:16:40] | GadgetWisdomGuru: | Bonelifer, it is always a risk. No warranties on home built systems. |
| [06:17:07] | bonelifer: | was just worried I'd get sloppy since I'm out of practice. |
| [06:17:26] | bonelifer: | I mean we're talk around $1100–1380 |
| [06:17:41] | GadgetWisdomGuru: | Exactly. |
| [06:17:56] | GadgetWisdomGuru: | The only part that truly worries me is the CPU/CPU fan installation. |
| [06:18:06] | wagnerrp: | expensive system, unless youre counting a bunch of hard drives in with that caost |
| [06:18:09] | GadgetWisdomGuru: | The pins on CPUs are very delicate. |
| [06:18:46] | GadgetWisdomGuru: | I just replaced a CPU fan on my main system, and it went smoothly, but the time before, the heat paste had fused the fan to the CPU to the point the two wouldn't separate. |
| [06:19:10] | wagnerrp: | GadgetWisdomGuru: thats why you dont use thermal paste |

| [06:20:05] | wagnerrp: | if you have any form of retention clip, you just use grease |
| [06:20:31] | GadgetWisdomGuru: | Excuse me then |
| [06:20:34] | GadgetWisdomGuru: | Thermal grase. |
| [06:20:36] | GadgetWisdomGuru: | grease. |
| [06:20:45] | GadgetWisdomGuru: | I misspoke |
| [06:20:48] | bonelifer: | http://www.williamjacoby.net/files/that.html |
| [06:21:01] | GadgetWisdomGuru: | The stuff still has this tendency to fuse. |
| [06:21:08] | wagnerrp: | cheap stuff does, sure |
| [06:21:11] | bonelifer: | that accounts for some of the build. Some other misc stuff I could of done without, but you know |
| [06:21:22] | GadgetWisdomGuru: | I checked the bottle. It's grease. |
| [06:21:38] | wagnerrp: | i accidently yanked a P4 out of the socket of one of the systems at work |
| [06:21:58] | wagnerrp: | because it was attached to the heatsink harder than the socket |
| [06:22:09] | wagnerrp: | but once it was out, a simple twist and it detached |
| [06:22:10] | bonelifer: | remember the episode of Screensavers were Yoshi used a P4 to do some cooking. |
| [06:22:27] | GadgetWisdomGuru: | Wagnerrp, that is exactly what happened the second to last time. And the CPU never worked again. |
| [06:22:56] | wagnerrp: | this one continued working just fine, once i dropped in a heatsink with a working fan |
| [06:23:09] | GadgetWisdomGuru: | That's why I am always worried when I remove a CPU fan. I'm very careful, but one wrong move could cause an expensive loss. |

| [06:24:15] | wagnerrp: | really... i would think zalman would sell decent stuff |
| [06:24:45] | GadgetWisdomGuru: | They did. I think maybe you have to not replace a fan while the system is still hot. |
| [06:25:03] | GadgetWisdomGuru: | The last time, I let it cool down for a bit. It made it easier. |
| [06:25:19] | GadgetWisdomGuru: | But that is just a theory on my part. |
| [06:26:11] | wagnerrp: | heat has got nothing to do with it, so much as age and composition |
| [06:26:37] | wagnerrp: | its at the point where all the grease has cooked off |
| [06:27:33] | wagnerrp: | anyway, thats only even a problem with the AMD desktop chips |
| [06:27:52] | GadgetWisdomGuru: | Well, I've been using almost exclusively AMD for about five years now. |
| [06:27:53] | wagnerrp: | all intel stuff, and the amd server stuff, have a separate retention clip for the processor itself |
| [06:28:12] | GadgetWisdomGuru: | Next build, I've decided to reconsider that and possibly go Intel. |
| [06:28:24] | GadgetWisdomGuru: | But that is likely a few months to a year away. |
| [06:28:31] | wagnerrp: | theres no way you can remove the processor without tearing the whole socket off the board |
| [06:28:44] | GadgetWisdomGuru: | Sounds good |
| [06:28:57] | wagnerrp: | the processors also dont have pins to get damaged |

| [07:24:46] | GadgetWisdomGuru: | Okay. |
| [07:25:04] | GadgetWisdomGuru: | MythTV supports MPEG2 Lossless right now. |
| [07:25:11] | oobe: | i would of thought you could do lossless transcoding with any media type |
| [07:25:27] | oobe: | yea thats what streams our broadcasters use mpeg2 |
| [07:25:32] | GadgetWisdomGuru: | Alas, no. |
| [07:25:41] | GadgetWisdomGuru: | My broadcast feeds use MPEG2 also. |
| [07:25:59] | oobe: | oh and the HD-PVR transcodes it |
| [07:26:03] | GadgetWisdomGuru: | No |
| [07:26:29] | oobe: | then how does it end up being h.264 |
| [07:26:32] | GadgetWisdomGuru: | The HD-PVR is an analog-digital converter |
| [07:26:39] | GadgetWisdomGuru: | It exploits the analog loophole. |
| [07:26:53] | GadgetWisdomGuru: | namely that certain companies encrypt everything. |
| [07:27:59] | oobe: | so it captures analogue content to h.264 |

| [07:55:24] | wagnerrp: | mythnettv has never been an official plugin |
| [07:55:31] | wagnerrp: | and trunk has not yet been branched to 0.23 |
| [07:56:17] | achandra: | i see..any way to build into the current version of mythbuntu i have? aka mythbuntu 9.10? |
| [07:59:22] | oobe: | achandra, if you are using .22 then no |
| [07:59:43] | achandra: | oobe, indeed i am |
| [07:59:52] | oobe: | if you are using the trunk repos then it should install with the rest of the plugins |
| [08:00:14] | achandra: | i see |
| [08:00:31] | oobe: | but as wagnerrp .23 does not exist yet and trunk will go through various stages on instability before it is branched to .23 |

| [08:00:53] | wagnerrp: | no, there is no mythnetvision in trunk either |
| [08:01:00] | wagnerrp: | it will not be installed in 'mythplugins' |
| [08:01:07] | wagnerrp: | erm... there is a mythnetvision |
| [08:01:09] | wagnerrp: | there is no mythnettv |
| [08:01:32] | achandra: | sorry my mistake |
| [08:01:44] | achandra: | mythnetvision it is |
| [08:02:25] | achandra: | and mythnetvision is in the trunk and not part of 0.22 or cant be built back into 0.22? |
| [08:02:44] | oobe: | achandra, no it cant |

| [08:06:26] | oobe: | and not to hard if you install the deps |
| [08:06:49] | oobe: | i think you need to understand that moving to trunk means you cant go back to .22 |
| [08:07:16] | achandra: | k |
| [08:07:52] | oobe: | if you want to use trunk they have a repo on the mythbuntu site so building is not necessary |

| [08:09:45] | oobe: | then it is possible to restore you backup and remove the trunk repos and reinstall the .22 ones |

| [11:28:49] | oobe: | http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/IPTV |
| [11:30:36] | Zdeno: | i upgraded mythtv to version 0.22_p23586 and got problem with stability coz every time when mythtv cant get any packet then application freeze... i must unplug usb keyboard then plug in it again... but mythfrontend crashed.. there is no screen... maybe blue sometimes.. but i can see in ps ax the mythfrontend still running ^^ |
| [11:31:11] | oobe: | are you talking about using iptv still? |
| [11:33:52] | Zdeno: | aye for iptv you need to have playlist with ip addresses everything works fine on previous old version 0.22_p23069.. when frontend could not load address there was pop-up alert message.. application freeze for a while but without crash |
| [11:35:35] | oobe: | have you checked the logs |
| [11:37:30] | Zdeno: | where i can find frontend logs? |
| [11:38:07] | Zdeno: | coz in /var/log/mythtv are backend logs only |
| [11:39:37] | oobe: | Zdeno, that means you not logging mythfrontend |

| [16:48:25] | XLV: | oobe, even if you set it in bios to do suspend to hdd? |
| [16:49:01] | oobe: | s3 is only supported in the bios for usb wake up |
| [16:49:25] | Brad-D: | perfect, thanks |
| [16:49:49] | Beirdo: | no problem :) |
| [16:50:06] | oobe: | but it appears as if i could shut it down fully and wake up using com1 according to /proc/acpi/wakeup |
| [16:50:11] | XLV: | oobe, on some mbs you need to flip a jumper of usb wake up |
| [16:50:28] | XLV: | or was it usb power on? |
| [16:50:34] | oobe: | according to my manual it only supports usb s3 |
| [16:51:03] | oobe: | i would like to fully shut it down and turn it on using remote though |
| [16:51:18] | oobe: | but the resume time of suspend to ram is much faster than a full boot |
| [16:51:22] | oobe: | so thats a plus |
| [16:51:58] | oobe: | i dont like the idea of it using electricity and possibly over using components while in s3 |
| [16:52:16] | XLV: | yeah, exactly, and suspend to hdd the system doesnt lose state on a power outage |
| [16:52:39] | XLV: | suspend to hdd doesnt use any more current than when the system is on standby |
| [16:54:44] | devinheitmueller: | Be forewarned: the quality of driver support in terms of the ability for the USB device to wake the system up varies greatly by driver/device. |

| [16:55:07] | oobe: | yeah unfortunatly usb doesnt support s4 wake |
| [16:55:18] | wagnerrp: | what exactly is S4? |
| [16:55:24] | oobe: | and when i tried suspend to disk it just powered down |
| [16:55:26] | clever: | ive found that even a plain PS2 keyboard cant handle suspend |
| [16:55:28] | Beirdo: | it's an Audi |
| [16:55:36] | clever: | windows b*tches that the keyboard wont even let it enter standby |
| [16:55:37] | oobe: | s4 is suspend to disk / hibernate |
| [16:55:44] | wagnerrp: | i thought that was S5 |
| [16:55:45] | clever: | useless windows drivers :P |
| [16:55:46] | XLV: | http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suspend_to_RAM#Power_States |
| [16:55:52] | XLV: | s5 is off |
| [16:55:53] | devinheitmueller: | You need more than just the host controller to support wakeup, you need the driver support to work as well for the USB device in question. |
| [16:55:59] | iamlindoro: | done |
| [16:56:26] | oobe: | wagnerrp, s5 is actually fully powered down i think |
| [16:56:34] | devinheitmueller: | iamlindoro: if only you could set them on fire for real... |

| [16:58:16] | Beirdo: | I do. |
| [16:58:25] | Beirdo: | I use it every time I take my laptop somewhere |
| [16:58:26] | wagnerrp: | no so far as with mythtv |
| [16:58:30] | Beirdo: | Oooh :) |
| [16:58:32] | wagnerrp: | i used to use it with my laptop to keep work open |
| [16:58:39] | Beirdo: | yeah, true |
| [16:58:39] | clever: | wagnerrp: it lets me psysicaly disassemble the desktop, then put it back together a month later and the OS be none the wiser! |
| [16:58:47] | wagnerrp: | but with mythtv, who cares |
| [16:58:56] | Beirdo: | yeah, just shut it down |
| [16:58:57] | wagnerrp: | its going to start back up in the state you want it anyway |
| [16:59:04] | clever: | yeah, with myth you can generaly just standby (to ram) |
| [16:59:04] | oobe: | so anyway in /proc/acpi/wakeup it appears that com1 is s5 so i am thinking about getting a rs232 remote reciever in the hope that i could fully power down or suspend to disk and wake it using the power button on my remote |
| [16:59:09] | wagnerrp: | and will probably just end up taking longer with standby |
| [16:59:12] | clever: | if you loose power and shut it off wrong, nothing is damaged |
| [16:59:12] | devinheitmueller: | It was more of an issue when system boot used to take longer than it does today. |
| [16:59:16] | wagnerrp: | it certainly will when shutdown |

| [17:00:31] | oobe: | i like it the way it is i just dont know how much elictricity suspend to ram actually wastes |
| [17:00:52] | wagnerrp: | oobe: it wastes something under 5W |
| [17:01:05] | oobe: | per hr day week? |
| [17:01:09] | wagnerrp: | and depending on the hardware, usually far under 5W |
| [17:01:10] | devinheitmueller: | wagnerrp: speak for yourself. I started at 64K and a 0MB disk. |
| [17:01:40] | clever: | devinheitmueller: in those days, bootup was seconds |
| [17:01:46] | wagnerrp: | devinheitmueller: i didnt start much beyond that, but i didnt start hibernating until my P3 laptop |
| [17:01:49] | clever: | maybe better then even a modern pc |
| [17:01:55] | devinheitmueller: | clever: in those days, bootup was instantaneous. |
| [17:02:06] | devinheitmueller: | clever: flip switch, see prompt. |
| [17:02:13] | clever: | devinheitmueller: not really instant, but faster then your monitor could warm up |

| [17:03:37] | clever: | even wiht a floppy drive, it didnt usualy access them until you enter the command |
| [17:03:48] | wagnerrp: | oobe: anyway, a computer on standby for a year is only going to consume a few dollars worth of electricity |
| [17:03:50] | clever: | no POST really |
| [17:04:02] | XLV: | it was roms.. and 16KB or so |
| [17:04:13] | oobe: | thanks wagnerrp i think i will leave it how it is then |
| [17:04:14] | devinheitmueller: | clever: depends on the hardware. The Apple for example pretty much *always* did a POST. |
| [17:04:17] | wagnerrp: | IMHO, its worth that much for shutdown/startup times of a couple seconds |
| [17:04:21] | oobe: | it actually works awesome |
| [17:04:24] | clever: | devinheitmueller: i'm refering to a C64 |
| [17:04:34] | XLV: | now even if we had an OS in nand, it would take some secs to read from it, OSs now are huge |

| [17:05:28] | XLV: | btw spectrum 128K here.. then amiga 500 |
| [17:05:38] | XLV: | still got the speccy, though it doesnt work |
| [17:05:41] | devinheitmueller: | clever: which is one of the big plusses for my Apple IIe – you didn't have to know the magic sequence "LOAD *,8,1". You just whacked the power switch and it booted the floppy. |
| [17:06:05] | Beirdo: | devinheitmueller: very loudly and flatulently :) |
| [17:06:15] | clever: | devinheitmueller: sounds like how the game carts on the c64 worked |
| [17:06:26] | clever: | the rom in the cart basicaly replaced the OS roms |
| [17:06:26] | wagnerrp: | devinheitmueller: sure, but your Apple IIe didnt come with a TURBO BUTTON! |
| [17:06:39] | Beirdo: | I grew up with Apple ][+ |
| [17:06:47] | clever: | i think my 100mhz pc had a turbo! |
| [17:06:54] | Beirdo: | and then C64 |
| [17:07:06] | Beirdo: | then an PC AT clone :) |
| [17:07:12] | Beirdo: | then it all went downhill |
| [17:07:14] | Beirdo: | hehe |
| [17:07:43] | devinheitmueller: | clever: Even the 8MHz 80286 had a turbo. Forget 100MHz. |

| [17:08:09] | wagnerrp: | even my old 8MHz 8086 had a turbo |
| [17:08:28] | clever: | devinheitmueller: that case was weird, you basicaly had a blob of 40 jumpers to select what speed it would display on the front panel in both modes |
| [17:08:35] | wagnerrp: | my the time you got to 100MHz, i thought they had dropped the turbos, because you couldnt see the speed on the 2-digit LED readout anyway |

| [17:49:32] | oobe: | oh then you can spend less that board has a lot of bells and whistles that you wont use |
| [17:49:44] | dustybin: | the latest intel boards require either a expensive CPU with built in gfx, or a less expensive CPU and a extra graphic card |

| [19:19:11] | iamlindoro: | read your backend logs, but more importantly, read the myth documentation carefully |
| [19:19:47] | iamlindoro: | Top guesses would be you didn't set up a schedules direct account, lineups, download channels, and attach them to the input OR permissions issues on your recording dirs |

| [21:34:36] | squish102: | was the hauppauge hvr-2250 card not a favorite for this channel? |
| [21:34:49] | squish102: | well supported in mythtv? |
| [21:35:07] | wagnerrp: | its not supported by mythtv |
| [21:35:13] | wagnerrp: | its supported by v4l-dvb |
| [21:35:26] | squish102: | well? |
| [21:35:27] | wagnerrp: | and mythtv in turn supports the v4l and dvb apis |
| [21:35:41] | stevieman: | 2 quick questions, is it possible to change the mythtranscode option for a recorded video? and 2 is there a way to automate mythtranscode? I select the auto transcode and nothing happens, I go into mythweb and select the the transcode option for the recording and it transcodes just fine |
| [21:35:47] | wagnerrp: | so if it is listed as supported on linuxtv.org, you can use it with mythtv |
| [21:36:09] | devinheitmueller: | wagnerrp: I'm not sure that's really a fair statement. In reality, there *are* cards that are supported by v4l-dvb, which do not work under MythTV. So it's a perfectly reasonable question as to whether a card works under MythTV. |
| [21:36:49] | wagnerrp: | devinheitmueller: well there are a couple exceptions, but those are all non-standard cards arent they? |
| [21:37:01] | wagnerrp: | stuff like the HVR-1800/1850 which need special code to manage |
| [21:37:03] | devinheitmueller: | But to answer squish102's question, yes, the 2250 does work under MythTV, but bear in mind only the digital side of the card has driver support (the analog support is not implemented). |
| [21:37:07] | wagnerrp: | since theyre not a v4l framegrabber |
| [21:38:01] | devinheitmueller: | wagnerrp: from an API standpoint, any card that is supported in v4l-dvb *should* work under MythTV. But the combination of MythTV doing some dumb things in its code and bugs in the drivers, it cannot be guaranteed. |
| [21:39:00] | devinheitmueller: | I've had a number of cases where I've had cards that worked in other applications, and then had to do additional work to get them to work under MythTV (as MythTV can expose bugs in the drivers that other applications do not). |
| [21:39:58] | devinheitmueller: | The 1800/1850 situation is one such example. The analog support for that card does work in general (for example, it works with tvtime). But work needs to be done to fix the edge cases that MythTV happens to expose. |

| [21:40:47] | squish102: | thanks devinheitmueller, i saw it on special, but if the analog doesn't work it is not that special |
| [21:41:09] | wagnerrp: | just out of curiosity, could the 1800 be used as a framegrabber in mythtv? or is the bug elsewhere? |
| [21:41:33] | devinheitmueller: | wagnerrp: the bug is in common code to both the MPEG portion or the frame grabber. |
| [21:42:02] | stevieman: | Is there a way to change the transcoding quality of a already recorded video? |
| [21:42:04] | devinheitmueller: | And most people wouldn't find the framegrabber very useful at this point, since KernelLabs changes for ALSA audio support haven't been merged (hence you would be able to do raw video but have no ability to get the audio) |

| [21:47:18] | squish102: | now that i have connected a few tuners to one box, i guess there is a place that i can put priority on which tuner i want to use first to record and also which channels (HD before SD)? |
| [21:47:58] | wagnerrp: | just add the tuners in the order you want them to be used |
| [21:48:40] | wagnerrp: | you can fiddle with priorities, but doing so generally has unintended consequences |
| [21:48:47] | squish102: | I think i have got the hd-homerun to have a higher priority, but then they still record 'DT' instead of 'HD' |
| [21:49:36] | squish102: | ok, so clear them all out, and add them back in the order of priority |

| [23:43:16] | Brad-D: | kormoc: because i googled how to do an nfs mount, and the website i visited had it in? :) |
| [23:43:24] | bjd: | nooooooo |
| [23:43:24] | kormoc: | remove that |
| [23:43:39] | bjd: | make sure you understand everything you copy and paste |
| [23:43:42] | wagnerrp: | Brad-D: is this for a slave backend? |
| [23:43:47] | Brad-D: | thanks, will do that. |
| [23:44:06] | kormoc: | (I'd also remove intr , but doubt it'd help speed wise) |
| [23:44:11] | Brad-D: | wagnerrp: i did have a slave backend running on this server, but with the nfs mounts i found i didn't need it? |

| [23:45:54] | wagnerrp: | Brad-D: if you are not running a slave backend on the machine, just remove the mount all together |
| [23:45:57] | wagnerrp: | its completely unneeded |

| [23:48:30] | wagnerrp: | because the file isnt where the frontend expects it to be |

| [23:48:46] | Brad-D: | hmm good point |
| [23:48:50] | Brad-D: | so the optimal setting is? |
| [23:49:16] | wagnerrp: | optimal setting is to have all storage paths available in the same place on all backends |
| [23:49:36] | wagnerrp: | shared over nfs |
| [23:50:25] | wagnerrp: | hopefully by 0.24 or 0.25, the nfs requirement will be removed |
| [23:50:36] | wagnerrp: | and mythtv will simply record to any available file server over mythprotocol |
| [23:51:18] | wagnerrp: | the capability is all there, but the storage and balancing code has to be rewritten to use it |
| [23:51:25] | Brad-D: | i feel like the dumb kid here, hehe.. sorry to be slow! So i should run mythbackend on both machines (despite the fact that one doesn't have a tuner), then set up the same directory structure on both, and nfs mount to the drives that aren't local |
| [23:51:42] | wagnerrp: | no, only run the backend on the machines you have storage on |
| [23:51:56] | wagnerrp: | my comment before was based under the expectation that most people only have storage on their backend |
| [23:52:38] | wagnerrp: | make that 'all machines that have recording storage and run some form of mythtv program should have the storage mounted in the same location' |
| [23:53:07] | wagnerrp: | for instance... make them all mount to /mnt/mythtv/<machine name>/<partition number>/ |
| [23:53:11] | Brad-D: | so if on my mythbackend i have a storage group /brad/storage/ and i try to play a video on the front end.. it will look locally for /brad/storage/ (which will be nfs mounted)? |
| [23:53:31] | wagnerrp: | backends need NFS access to all partitions they want to write to |
| [23:53:49] | wagnerrp: | frontends can stream from the backend, if the file is not found locally |
| [23:54:05] | wagnerrp: | so dont bother mounting anything on the remote frontend |
| [23:54:19] | wagnerrp: | just have the storage on the remote frontend be in the same location that the backend sees it |
| [23:54:40] | wagnerrp: | so the frontend can find and access the file locally rather than have to pull it from the backend |
| [23:54:48] | Brad-D: | ahh okay, i think i get it now |
| [23:55:08] | Brad-D: | so a frontend, will look to the storage group dir locally.. if it finds it, it plays locally, if it doesn't, it goes the the mythbackend streaming? |
| [23:55:17] | wagnerrp: | correct |
| [23:55:40] | wagnerrp: | which in your case, would result in sending the same data both directions over the network |
| [23:55:50] | Brad-D: | thanks wagnerrp, i appreciate you walking me through that really slowly, hehehe |

| [23:56:42] | jarle: | doesn't seem like mythtv is able to tune my new dvb-s2 card (Hauppauge! Win-TV Nove s2) Is there a trick to this? |
| [23:56:51] | Brad-D: | so in terms of best practices, how do you manage all your directories. similar to the /mnt/mythtv/machinename structure you gave above? |

| [23:58:06] | wagnerrp: | the above is how i do my directories |
| [23:58:18] | wagnerrp: | i used to have several disks shared between two backends |
| [23:58:26] | wagnerrp: | but at the moment, its all on one machine |
| [23:58:31] | wagnerrp: | so it doesnt really matter any more |

| [23:59:41] | wagnerrp: | if it says it can, yes |
