iamlindoro:

Your STB possesses a much cleaner electronic environment than your computer, and likely a much more sensitive tuner

[00:01:04]

Tomas-:

shouldn't szap stats show some errors if the signal is bad?

[00:01:05]

iamlindoro:

tuners in PCs are another beast entirely, concluding that all is well because a TV or STb works is a false conclusion

[00:01:25]

metalac:

so i've had this problem ever since i got hdpvr and no idea what might be the deal

[00:01:39]

metalac:

when i watch LiveTv the first show works fine

[00:01:54]

metalac:

but as soon as next show starts, then the video becomes choppy

[00:02:03]

iamlindoro:

Tomas-, performance of all the DVB Apps will vary wildly between drivers, hardware, etc.

[00:02:06]

metalac:

any idea what might be happening?

[00:02:10]

Tomas-:

iamlindoro: check

[00:02:18]

iamlindoro:

one tuner might report accurate numbers, one might report 0 across the board

[00:02:45]

iamlindoro:

for example, one particular ATSC tuner always reports 0% signal strength

[00:03:03]

[R]:

metalac: what errors are in the logs

[00:03:35]

Tomas-:

iamlindoro:

[00:03:51]

Tomas-:

iamlindoro: http://pastebin.com/chmjA6zs this one seems to report something atleast

[00:04:10]

metalac:

[R]: bunch of prebuffering pause

[00:04:36]

[R]:

what about the backend

[00:04:46]

metalac:

[R]: no errors on backend

[00:05:28]

metalac:

although last prebuffering pause was 2 minutes ago

[00:05:32]

metalac:

but it's still choppy

[00:05:36]

[R]:

weird

[00:05:38]

metalac:

it's not super bad though

[00:05:43]

[R]:

i dont watch livetv anymore

[00:05:46]

[R]:

but when i did, i enver had problems

[00:05:48]

metalac:

i'd say every 5 seconds there is a slight stutter

[00:06:00]

metalac:

audio works just fine

[00:07:24]

[R]:

and if you stop and go back to live tv its good?

[00:07:32]

metalac:

yep

[00:07:45]

metalac:

and it's good until the next show starts

there are a few patches in trac

[00:09:05]

[R]:

i used all of them

[00:09:18]

[R]:

i've never had a problem in forever

[00:09:28]

[R]:

i think one of them has to do with livetv buffer switching

[00:10:05]

[R]:

HD-PVR (#6719, #6611, #6602)

[00:12:28]

I'll look into it

hey hey, anyone having any problems with their Videos(not recordings) only playing back at dolby 2.0 with Myth 0.23?

[01:31:57]

tmkt:

Seems the pass through options are gone in the General Settings

[01:33:58]

iamlindoro:

I'll let you know when .23 exists

[01:35:23]

iamlindoro:

anyway, audio settings have been reworked in trunk, but passthrough settings have *not* been removed, they just use different language. I suggest reading the audio options carefully.

[01:35:41]

iamlindoro:

and as you've chosen to run trunk the commit message for the new settings, which explains them in detail

they dont let you do that?

hi wagnerrp

[02:43:27]

maddslacker:

what kind of phone?

[02:44:08]

wagnerrp:

whatever this 'Brent Bolin' character on the mailing list is using

[02:44:18]

maddslacker:

ah

[02:44:23]

maddslacker:

hey, quick question?

[02:44:54]

wagnerrp:

doesnt seem to be that quick...

[02:44:58]

[R]:

wagnerrp: looks like that tcp keepalive patch works perfect for me

[02:44:59]

maddslacker:

sorry, kids

[02:45:19]

maddslacker:

anyway, mythvideo has been working perfectly, but i made an mkv with aac sound, and had no sound

[02:45:33]

[R]:

maddslacker: what does the log say

[02:45:33]

maddslacker:

got a suggestion here to recompile mythtv with libaad enabled, did that

[02:45:45]

wagnerrp:

yeah, there are known issues with aac and mythtv

[02:45:51]

maddslacker:

now the mkv's work great, but other videos won't play at all

[02:45:58]

maddslacker:

[R], one sec

[02:46:03]

wagnerrp:

you can use faad which doesnt work with some forms of aac

[02:46:08]

[R]:

maddslacker: so it used t owork and now it doesnt? sounds like you screwed it up when you refcompiled it

[02:46:14]

wagnerrp:

or you can use libavcodec, which doesnt work with other forms of aac

[02:46:18]

maddslacker:

wagnerrp, am I better off recompilig without libfaad and converting to avi's for now?

[02:46:35]

maddslacker:

[R], not exactfly

[02:46:39]

wagnerrp:

i dont know what the recommended solution is off hand

[02:46:43]

wagnerrp:

its nothing to do with mkvs

[02:46:45]

maddslacker:

it fixed what I was after, broke everythgin else

[02:46:50]

wagnerrp:

only the fact that its aac

[02:46:54]

maddslacker:

right

[02:46:57]

[R]:

so if the other files worked

[02:47:00]

maddslacker:

yeah, the video played, just no sound

[02:47:01]

[R]:

and you broke their playback

[02:47:06]

[R]:

then you screwed it up when recomilining

[02:47:14]

maddslacker:

very helpful, thanks

[02:47:20]

iamlindoro:

faad is actually the one that *does* support all the AAC formats-- it's ffmpeg's implementation that is missing HE-AAC and a couple others

[02:47:31]

maddslacker:

iamlindoro, makes sense

[02:47:46]

maddslacker:

iamlindoro, so should I take libfaad back out, or is there somethign simple I'm missing?

[02:47:47]

wagnerrp:

ok, they just wanted to get rid of the extra external dependency and found they couldnt?

[02:48:08]

maddslacker:

I literally added --enable-libfaad to the same build script I used ebfore

[02:48:19]

maddslacker:

*before

[02:48:37]

iamlindoro:

wagnerrp, libfaad is still required is one wants to play back HE-AAC, which is most people's encodes and LATM in NZ, norway, etc... FFmpeg working on implementing the rest and then we can drop it as a compile option

[02:48:56]

maddslacker:

iamlindoro, I happened to notice svn of ffmpeg has the rest of the codecs

[02:49:07]

iamlindoro:

maddslacker, Tehre is nothing about compiling against libfaad that would prevent other videos from playing, [R] is likely correct that you broke something else when recompiling

[02:49:14]

maddslacker:

ok

[02:49:30]

maddslacker:

with the exact same script o na stable system though? i.e. it's the same version as before

[02:49:39]

iamlindoro:

log output of a file that does not play would liekly be enlightening

[02:49:47]

maddslacker:

not like a -current or anything

[02:49:51]

maddslacker:

one sec

[02:51:53]

maddslacker:

gonna be a min, have to kick the kids off the tv...heh

[02:52:21]

wagnerrp:

just pull up the telnet interface, and run the file remotely

[02:52:24]

maddslacker:

wait,. I have it on this machine

[02:53:49]

maddslacker:

no, frontend logs when attempting to play back a file you are having issues with

(unless youre using ubuntu)

[04:51:36]

greenwom:

I am using ubuntu – I killed the backend and reran the setup. Still can't select ASTC (not an option) and can't scan for channels

[04:52:00]

wagnerrp:

you are adding it as a DVB tuner, not an NTSC tuner?

[04:53:21]

greenwom:

sorry, don't unnderstand the question, This is an ASTC tuner

[04:53:29]

greenwom:

love to be educated

[04:53:51]

wagnerrp:

not quite, its an ATSC tuner, and all digital tuners in linux are handled by the DVB subsystem

[04:54:01]

maddslacker:

if settings and coverart don't save in the frontend, which directory should I check write permissions on?

[04:54:25]

wagnerrp:

when you added the card (or usb box in this case), you should have added it as a DVB tuner

[04:54:39]

wagnerrp:

maddslacker: local or storage group content?

[04:54:55]

maddslacker:

local

[04:55:06]

greenwom:

ok changed it to a DVB tuner in setup.. still can't scan (is a restart required?

[04:55:31]

wagnerrp:

then it will be in whatever directories you defined in the video setup in the frontend settings

[04:55:42]

maddslacker:

hmm

[04:55:43]

** maddslacker pokes around **

[04:55:50]

or if you have not defined such directories, it will fall back to the base video directory

youve walked through all the steps?

added the tuner card, added a source for the tuner card, bound the source to the particular input you want?

a 'source' is an abstract concept of your content source

in your case, it would probably be 'broadcast channels'

the source contains the list of channels

and can be bound to multiple tuners, generally all tuners attached to that antenna

anyone here know why mythweb would still point to an old ip address? I've searched for config files and looked at sudo dpkg-reconfigure but nothing points it to the backend new ip address.

[10:03:49]

oobe:

kabads, setenv db_server "ip" in mythweb.conf

[10:04:15]

kabads:

oobe: thanks – just looking now

[10:05:03]

kabads:

oobe: does that also apply for a mythweb package install? This makes mythweb.conf harder to find if it does.

[10:06:25]

oobe:

the package manager should put in the correct values anyway but that is where the value is set

[10:06:33]

but it is also set as localhost

[10:12:03]

oobe:

changed it to the backend ip

[10:12:41]

kabads:

trying that but not getting any errors now, looks like http://mybackend/mythweb will time out

[10:13:11]

oobe:

you need to restart apache

[10:13:20]

kabads:

done that – and the mythbackend

[10:13:27]

and also set the user and password fields correctly

that's very similar to mine, apart from password

[10:15:08]

oobe:

setenv db_login "mythtv"

[10:16:10]

kabads:

yup – that's how they are

[10:16:25]

kabads:

it didn't time out, just gave database error

[10:16:43]

oobe:

you can verify your password with this assuming your frontend is configured correctly cat ~/.mythtv/config.xml | grep DBPass

[10:17:02]

oobe:

put the database error in pastebin

[10:18:08]

kabads:

there wasn't one – this was just on the browser – where would the log file be for that error?

[10:19:24]

it needs to bet set correctly not just for mythweb but for remote frontends too

hmm, I seem to recall that it worked perfectly well with 127.0.0.1, but then I only use mythweb on another machine as a potential client. I watch most of my recordings through ps3, so i am probably wrong there.

sorry – the frontend is reporting that the ip address is wrong

is it up to the mythTV team to take care of informing the user of possible consequential changes and alterations to the users current setup? Or is it the Ubuntu team' responsibility?

[12:49:44]

zetheroo:

I would just like to know about this kind of thing in general as I deem this a pretty important issue with some software out there in the open source domain ... the need for proper and full (as possible) disclosure on the workings of the program

[12:49:45]

Hoxzer:

depends. If you use packages from ubuntu repostories then it's the ubuntu team is responsible. If you use the source then it's MythTV that's responsible. However there is no guarantee so actually you can't really sue anybody :)

[12:50:23]

AndyCap:

I'd say writing startup scripts, making sure it is well integrated in the distro and has a sane config to match the rest of the system falls squarely on the distros shoulders

[12:50:40]

zetheroo:

yeah ... I am not looking to sue anyone ;) ...

[12:51:08]

zetheroo:

AndyCap: but does mythtv have to have this running daemon or "user" in order to work?

[12:51:29]

AndyCap:

zetheroo: of course, but that's not related to your issue

[12:52:03]

zetheroo:

well .. how would anyone get around something like that?

[12:52:09]

AndyCap:

zetheroo: starting daemon/backgroud processes without registering them as logged in users in wtmp or whatever policykit checks is an excercise for the distro

[12:52:26]

zetheroo:

or are you saying that policykit needs tweaking by the Ubuntu team?

Hehe https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/policykit/+bug/368594

Jay2k1:

hi there

[13:32:56]

Jay2k1:

i am using DefaultStartOffset and DefaultEndOffset and found a bug, I think, or perhaps I am doing something wrong

[13:33:12]

tmkt:

yeah...they are set for DTS and 5.1

[13:33:17]

Jay2k1:

I have set it to start recording 2 minutes early and end recordings 5 minutes late

[13:33:53]

tmkt:

worked fine with 0.22...0.23 passthrough doesn't seem to be passthroughing

[13:34:06]

Jay2k1:

now when scheduling a recording from mythweb, these values are in the appropriate fields, everything's cool

[13:34:43]

Jay2k1:

but when I schedule a recording from within the frontend on my tv, it takes the DefaultStartOffset value for both start early and finish late

[13:35:22]

Jay2k1:

meaning it would start 2 minutes early and end 2 minutes late, although I set it to start 2 minutes early and end 5 mins late in the preferences

[13:35:23]

wagnerrp:

tmkt: you have to set your speaker configuration to 5.1, turn off upconvert, and check both DD and DTS under 'audio processing capabilities'

[13:36:00]

Jay2k1:

to be sure i changed the start offset from 2 to 3 in the prefs and voila, in the frontend, when scheduling a record, it had "3" in both fields

[13:36:11]

tmkt:

yeah..those are my exact settings

[13:36:27]

Jay2k1:

anyone experienced this problem too? using mythtv 0.22 (mythbuntu)

[13:36:37]

wagnerrp:

are you sure the source is actually 5.1?

[13:36:45]

tmkt:

live tv passes through fine

[13:36:55]

wagnerrp:

maybe you have multiple audio tracks and youre pulling the wrong one?

[13:37:02]

tmkt:

22 played it 5.1.. mplayer plays it 5.1

[13:37:18]

tmkt:

all my Handbrake DVD rips using ac3/5.1 passthrough audio

[13:41:07]

wagnerrp:

Jay2k1: update your mythtv... http://svn.mythtv.org/trac/changeset/23110/

wagnerrp: though he finally figured it out (and sent a message saying so in yet another new thread, so I didn't see it until after responding), the guy who didn't read the instructions in the error message also failed to read the instructions for fixing the issue after being told how to fix it.

[13:47:34]

sphery:

just thought you'd appreciate the consistency of behavior :)

[13:48:02]

Jay2k1:

is there some howto or so that tells me how to apply this code change to my existing installation?

[13:48:14]

sphery:

Jay2k1: upgrade

[13:48:18]

sphery:

that's not the only bug fixed

[13:48:44]

sphery:

and if you're not using the current 0.22-fixes, then when you find the next already-fixed bug, you'll just be wasting wagnerrp's time when you ask about it, too :)

[13:50:10]

upgrading should be as easy as telling your package manager to do it for you

Jay2k1: what distro? what repos? what SVN revision are you running, now (use mythbackend --version to find out)?

[13:57:25]

sphery:

Jay2k1: that particular fix is 8 weeks old, so if your repo is lacking that fix, then the packager isn't keeping up at all

[13:58:11]

sphery:

to the point that in our 4-month release cycle, you'd see at most one update per release (meaning you'll always have a broken Myth)

[13:58:40]

sphery:

and if that's the case, you might want to consider switching to a more Myth-friendly distro (like Mythbuntu) that keeps up with the fixes

[13:58:41]

Jay2k1:

using mythbuntu 9.10 karmic, default karmic repos, rev 22594, branches/release-0-22-fixes

[13:59:11]

sphery:

you're using the pre-release, not 0.22 version they put in just so they could get 0.22-fixes into Karmic

[13:59:36]

sphery:

You need to enable the repo that has the current 0.22-fixes branch. I don't know how. Someone using *buntu could tell you.

[14:00:23]

sphery:

#mythbuntu likely has someone who could help you enable the repo to get it. Just make sure you don't enable the trunk repo if you don't want to upgrade to trunk (it's a one-way path, so once you do, you're stuck on trunk until 0.23).

[14:01:33]

Jay2k1:

yeah, I wouldn't want to do that, I've just spent three weeks or so until it was running fine ;)

[14:01:46]

tmkt:

wagnerrp: should i be able to see useful info in the logs?

[14:02:01]

Jay2k1:

but thank you very much for this advice, it's a huge point forward

[14:03:22]

sphery:

Jay2k1: upgrading from broken-0.21-plus-some-changes to 0.22-fixes will not break anything, so you should still do that

[14:03:32]

sphery:

just don't do a trunk upgrade and things will work great.

[14:03:39]

sphery:

(much better than they do now)

[14:04:09]

sphery:

(where broken-0.21-plus-some-changes is the pre 0.22 version that's in the default *buntu install)

when making mytharvhivehelper in mythplugins, I get: make[2]: *** No rule to make target `/usr/include/mythtv/libavutil/internal.h', needed by `main.o'. Stop

Copying that file from ../mythtv/libs/libavutil/internal.h into that location fixed it... but... that should have probably been installed when I installed the mythtv package.

any ideas why after upgrading to the latest fixes (from the pre-0.22 in stock mythbuntu) the remote no longer works? mythfrontend connects to lircd and irw shows that it's all configured correctly, but the frontend stubbornly ignores remote presses

under 0.22, you want to use the VDPAU Normal profile

[22:44:54]

wagnerrp:

which means, you will be able to play mpeg2, h264, or vc1 fully accelerated

[22:45:06]

klk:

I guess what I really want to figure out is whether or not i'll need a new cpu also

[22:45:14]

wagnerrp:

and you can use all but the advanced 2x deint at 1080i

[22:45:27]

the card isnt powerful enough to use that deint at that resolution

[22:45:43]

also.... you cannot play any HD content outside of VDPAU

[22:48:34]

i don't plan to be playing back ripped blu-rays or anything like that

[22:48:39]

for any mpeg2, h264, or vc1 content, it will work fine

[22:48:45]

that includes ripped blurays

[22:49:06]

klk:

but you made a comment about straining to push 720p60

[22:49:14]

** Beirdo rips a blueray in half **

[22:49:23]

klk:

ouch

[22:49:24]

wagnerrp:

that does not include video encoded poorly, with every option turned on just because the transcoder thought it was cool to do so

[22:49:54]

klk:

i'll mainly be using it to playback recordings from my HDhomerun and one or two HD-PVR's once I get them set up

[22:50:00]

wagnerrp:

uncompressed 720p60 is going to be nearing the practical limits of the PCI bus

[22:50:13]

wagnerrp:

that means you cannot do software decoding, and pass the uncompressed video onto the card

[22:50:34]

wagnerrp:

you can send the compressed video onto the card, because the highest bitrate content you will ever see would be bluray at ~5MB/s

[22:50:35]

klk:

yeah, but the whole idea is to have the card do the decoding, right?

[22:51:10]

klk:

so it sounds like my old FE shouldn't really have problems with the way I plan to use it

[22:51:32]

wagnerrp:

again, if you have compliant video, it will all work fine

hi. i'm having some weirdness with jamu. when i run it with -MIV it never goes interactive, it just skips through my collection without prompting.

[22:54:48]

slickrick:

all my videos are named according to the imdb 'tt' id (ie tt0000000.iso) but jamu always says "themoviedb.com does not recognize the movie (tt0000000) – Cannot update metadata – skipping"

[22:54:52]

slickrick:

any ideas?

[22:55:09]

slickrick:

it was going interactive previously but not anymore.

[22:55:52]

btw, searching themoviedb.org with the tt id yields the correct results.

[22:55:53]

oobe:

slickrick, there is no need to name movies by there imdb number

[22:56:04]

oobe:

infact you should expect it to not work

[22:56:34]

RDV_Linux:

slickrick: Your naming convention is not supported by MythVideo so when jamu searches for a movie to list is does not find anything and therefore skips it.

[22:57:07]

slickrick:

oobe: okay ... so if i have a huge collection i have imported is there any work around. this is what i was using with the old metadata program.

[22:57:19]

slickrick:

dang ... okay will need to go back and rework this.

[22:57:56]

oobe:

you need to rename the files to the proper names if you can think of an easy way to do it then thats your best bet

[22:58:04]

slickrick:

can i insert the inetref manually and expect it to work? instead of renaming all the file names, which means I would need to get my dvds out of storage.

[22:58:20]

RDV_Linux:

slickrick: A IMDB search on TMDB works but Jamu is using a name search when the Video's videmetadata record does not have a TMDB or IMDB number.

[22:58:59]

slickrick:

RDV_Linux: okay that makes sense. my old naming scheme seemed to work great for the old metadata tool but not jamu.

[22:59:32]

RDV_Linux:

slickrick: Yes Jamu looks for the inetref first and only parses the filename when one does not exist.

[22:59:54]

slickrick:

where does the inetref field in the videometadata table come from? Will populating this field manually/programatically help jamu?

[23:00:52]

slickrick:

and if choose to leave it as is, any ideas why jamu doesn't go interactive despite the -I command? it did before, but then I cleaned out all my mythvideo tables to start fresh and it has not worked since.

[23:02:03]

RDV_Linux:

slickrick: Yes once populated jamu can do the rest of the work with the "-M ". As far as changed behaviour of Jamu I cannot remember when it reacted differently but I did revamp interactive mode in trunk.

slickrick:

RDV_Linux: Are you a minder reader in your spare time? That's just what I was thinking of doing! :)

[23:04:58]

slickrick:

RDV_Linux: Where can I get the inetref from? is the number in the url when you look up a movie from themoviedb?

[23:06:11]

RDV_Linux:

slickrick: spare time? The inetref is the field in the videometadata table that stored an IMDB/TMDB or TVDB number. In your case a IMDB number.

[23:07:13]

[23:08:57]

RDV_Linux:

slickrick: I figure your script would read in your file names, then look up the videometadata record, and populate that record with the IMDB number less the "tt"

[23:09:50]
