| [00:28:23] | mtrelins: | hi guys |
| [00:28:28] | mtrelins: | got a question |
| [00:30:24] | [R]: | 42 |
| [00:30:39] | Beirdo: | well, we aren't mind readers... spit it out :) |
| [00:30:53] | mtrelins: | it's about jamu |
| [00:31:01] | mtrelins: | i originally was using sg |
| [00:31:04] | mtrelins: | ran jamu |
| [00:31:07] | mtrelins: | it filled in everything |
| [00:31:11] | mtrelins: | now i'm not using storage groups |
| [00:31:17] | mtrelins: | but the artwork isn't showing up |
| [00:31:22] | mtrelins: | and when i rerun jamu |
| [00:31:27] | mtrelins: | it says there's nothing to update |
| [00:31:28] | Beirdo: | http://www.amazon.com/NETGEAR-ReadyNAS-4-Bay- . . . p/B000VA3TXY |
| [00:31:34] | Beirdo: | Hmmm, that could be cool |
| [00:31:52] | Beirdo: | so you broke your system... nice |
| [00:32:38] | wagnerrp: | mtrelins: its likely not doing anything because you already have artwork defined |
| [00:32:53] | wagnerrp: | but its artwork mapped to a file in the storage group, rather than the absolute path |
| [00:32:56] | RDV_Linux: | mtrelins: Have you removed all the old storage groups and replaced them with front end settings on the backend you run Jamu? Also after getting rid of the storage groups did you rescan in MythVideo? |
| [00:33:00] | Beirdo: | I dunno what to suggest other than next time don't fix what ain't broke :) |
| [00:33:25] | aroazen (aroazen!~andrewroa@70-59-232-134.phnx.qwest.net) has joined #mythtv-users | |
| [00:33:42] | mtrelins: | beirdo: sg were broke ;) |
| [00:33:54] | Beirdo: | doubtful |
| [00:33:54] | mtrelins: | kept getting cut off while watching movies |
| [00:33:57] | aroazen: | hello |
| [00:34:03] | Beirdo: | did you put in a bug? |
| [00:34:13] | mtrelins: | no, because i don't know what caused it |
| [00:34:15] | mtrelins: | other than "sg" |
| [00:34:20] | RDV_Linux: | mtrelins: wagnerrp's comments are likely correct as to Jamu everything looks in order so nothing to update. |
| [00:34:28] | Beirdo: | heh |
| [00:34:35] | mtrelins: | turned it off, rescanned, watching successfully for 7–8 movies |
| [00:34:44] | ** Beirdo walks away before breaking something ** | |
| [00:35:15] | aroazen: | 10.04 is going to crush my dreams, isn't it |
| [00:35:24] | RDV_Linux: | mtrelins: turned what off? Answer the first set of questions I asked you. |
| [00:35:25] | wagnerrp: | how so? |
| [00:35:31] | wagnerrp: | aroazen: ^^^ |
| [00:35:54] | mtrelins: | i disabled storage groups |
| [00:36:00] | mtrelins: | and did samba mounts |
| [00:36:08] | mtrelins: | now i can view the videos just fine |
| [00:36:16] | wagnerrp: | why not NFS? |
| [00:36:19] | mtrelins: | i deleted my art |
| [00:36:57] | RDV_Linux: | mtrelins: I assume that means you removed storage groups for video, coverart, fanart, banners and screenshots. |
| [00:37:27] | aroazen: | if I've got a wifi box, do I install the backend during the regular install or afterward? the router recognizes the wifi's MAC address and fixes it at 192.168.2.5, but the liveCD doesn't |
| [00:37:55] | wagnerrp: | aroazen: hopefully youre only going to be running mythtv on a single machine? |
| [00:38:02] | aroazen: | yes |
| [00:38:10] | RDV_Linux: | mtrelins: On the backend you run Jamu you must run the MythTV front end and set up video, coverart, fanart and banners paths. |
| [00:38:11] | aroazen: | this is not my first mythbox btw |
| [00:38:19] | aroazen: | dual PVR-150s |
| [00:38:30] | wagnerrp: | questions about mythbuntu installs should be asked in #mythbuntu |
| [00:38:33] | aroazen: | aha |
| [00:38:34] | mtrelins: | i have done that |
| [00:38:35] | aroazen: | thanks |

| [00:46:51] | RDV_Linux: | mtrelins: Look at the warnings at the beginning of the pastebin, Jamu sure thinks you have not removed the storage groups. Then look at the table below that for what directories Jamu is trying to use. All but one is a storage group. Jamu gets all that info from your Mythtv database. |

| [00:48:12] | mtrelins: | so i just changed it to the default |
| [00:49:09] | RDV_Linux: | mtrelins: When focus is on a storage group you want to delete just hit the "d" key and confirm the delete. |

| [01:01:46] | mtrelins: | is it wrong to want to use storage groups for the art, etc, but not for the movies? |
| [01:01:56] | mtrelins: | will that work for the frontends wrt the fan art, etc? |
| [01:03:31] | Beirdo: | try it and find out |
| [01:03:47] | Beirdo: | and NFS > samba when talking between two Linux boxes |
| [01:03:56] | mtrelins: | i was over this last nigt |
| [01:03:59] | mtrelins: | i couldn't agree more |
| [01:04:00] | mtrelins: | however |
| [01:04:01] | banjodude: | hello. nuvexport is telling me it requires ffmpeg 0.5., which I have installed. Any ideas? |
| [01:04:02] | Beirdo: | samba is for one thing... to communicate with Windows |
| [01:04:09] | mtrelins: | there's a business requirement from my better half |
| [01:04:17] | mtrelins: | she wants windows and mac access to that same share |
| [01:04:21] | Beirdo: | so? |
| [01:04:31] | Beirdo: | run NFS AND Samba pointing at the same directory |
| [01:04:32] | mtrelins: | and i don't feel right about nfs and samba pointing to the same location |
| [01:04:33] | Beirdo: | jeez |
| [01:04:34] | Beirdo: | :) |
| [01:04:37] | wagnerrp: | what prevents you from running both at the same time? |
| [01:04:39] | mtrelins: | i thought locking occurs? |
| [01:05:02] | Beirdo: | not that I've ever heard of |
| [01:05:08] | wagnerrp: | why would it, isnt all your access read only anyway? |
| [01:05:14] | mtrelins: | no |
| [01:05:17] | mtrelins: | read/write |
| [01:05:32] | wagnerrp: | why would you need to write? |
| [01:05:38] | wagnerrp: | this is just archival storage of video |
| [01:05:52] | wagnerrp: | you dump videos in there, and leave it |
| [01:05:53] | Beirdo: | doesn't matter anyways. samba's an application |
| [01:06:02] | Beirdo: | NFS is kernel-space + application |
| [01:06:22] | mtrelins: | well, so far this "aint" broke |
| [01:06:28] | Beirdo: | they don't really affect each other at all, any more than anything else that wants to read/write a file |
| [01:06:33] | mtrelins: | i just can't get jamu to update the videos again |
| [01:07:57] | mtrelins: | besides i could just as easily swap to nfs after this is done |
| [01:08:24] | mtrelins: | i think i'm going to kill off storage directories for the fan art, banners, etc |
| [01:08:41] | Beirdo: | enjoy your busted setup |
| [01:08:52] | RDV_Linux: | mtrelins: Pastbin the results from a /.../jamu.py -MVf again |

| [01:09:56] | RDV_Linux: | mtrelins: After fixing the directories did you go into MythVideo and do a rescan like I asked? |

| [01:15:10] | mtrelins: | ok needed to delete the previous art i had |
| [01:15:14] | mtrelins: | it's working now |
| [01:15:35] | wagnerrp: | so its the first thing i mentioned |
| [01:15:53] | wagnerrp: | you still had artwork entries in the database, but they were bad since they were mapped to storage group files rather than absolute fiels |
| [01:15:53] | RDV_Linux: | mtrelins: Well that looks better. You should not have needed to delete the previous artwork, but I am glad that it is now working. |
| [01:16:07] | mtrelins: | ok don't thrash me for this.... |
| [01:16:24] | mtrelins: | but i don't think SG work for me because they are pointed to a raid volume which is external usb drives |
| [01:16:25] | mtrelins: | hehe |
| [01:16:53] | wagnerrp: | the only reason SGs wouldnt work for you is if you were using ISOs or VIDEO_TS folders |
| [01:17:00] | mtrelins: | i do have some of those |
| [01:17:07] | mtrelins: | but it was failing on regular divx, xvid, and mkv |
| [01:17:15] | mtrelins: | samba has been a champ so far |
| [01:17:51] | mtrelins: | i just have one more annoyance to clear up... |
| [01:17:53] | mtrelins: | with my remote |
| [01:17:56] | mtrelins: | when i hit Volume up |
| [01:17:59] | mtrelins: | or any key for that matter |
| [01:18:06] | mtrelins: | it shows a ?, Seek, and then a ? |
| [01:18:11] | mtrelins: | after doing a volume up |
| [01:18:18] | mtrelins: | when watching live tv |
| [01:18:27] | mtrelins: | any ideas? |
| [01:18:43] | mtrelins: | when i use the visual keyboard it puts in a * after everything |
| [01:18:57] | paul-h (paul-h!~paulh@5adce26c.bb.sky.com) has joined #mythtv-users | |
| [01:18:59] | mtrelins: | used irrecord the other day, tested back w/ irw |
| [01:19:18] | mtrelins: | updated ~/.mythtv/lircrc |
| [01:25:22] | mtrelins: | if my blueray rips (mkv) are pixelating during playback is that samba's fault or the internal movie player's fault? |
| [01:25:32] | mtrelins: | playback was fine in 0.21 with mplayer |
| [01:25:37] | mtrelins: | same hardware |
| [01:26:06] | Beirdo: | arrrr. |
| [01:26:13] | ** Beirdo shoots mtrelins' parrot ** | |
| [01:28:46] | mtrelins: | so that's a yes? |
| [01:30:43] | Beirdo: | that's me kicking your peg-leg out from under ya, pirate! |
| [01:31:25] | mtrelins: | hypothetically speaking i can have a bluray rip if i own the bluray |
| [01:31:31] | Beirdo: | if you want to know if playback issues are caused by samba, play back from local disk |
| [01:31:38] | Beirdo: | mtrelins: no you can't, not in the USA |
| [01:31:45] | mtrelins: | oh seriously? |
| [01:31:47] | wagnerrp: | mtrelins: no, you can rip your own bluray disk if you have the blurary disk |
| [01:32:01] | Beirdo: | bypassing encryption... that's DMCA violation, no? |
| [01:32:04] | mtrelins: | can i rip a dvd if i own the dvd? |
| [01:32:49] | Beirdo: | technically, no |
| [01:32:56] | wagnerrp: | again, depends on your view of the DMCA |
| [01:33:06] | mtrelins: | laaame |
| [01:33:22] | mtrelins: | i thought u were allowed to back up what you owned |
| [01:33:34] | wagnerrp: | certainly, you just cant decrypt it |
| [01:33:39] | Beirdo: | wagnerrp: they've charged people for doing such things... and for writing de-css code |
| [01:33:48] | mtrelins: | most of what i use the living room frontend for is ripping so that i can watch on the nettop in the bedroom |
| [01:34:12] | Beirdo: | my view is that the DMCA is a crappy law, but it IS the law |
| [01:34:12] | wagnerrp: | Beirdo: for distributing decryption code, sure... no one has ever been charged for ripping their own content |
| [01:34:28] | mtrelins: | it's like a blue law |
| [01:34:38] | mtrelins: | i didn't write the code |
| [01:34:53] | mtrelins: | but like i said, i usually rip a dvd so i can watch in the bedroom |
| [01:35:06] | mtrelins: | no optical drive in the bedroom |
| [01:35:08] | Beirdo: | TMI |
| [01:35:36] | Beirdo: | anyways.. if you are wondering if the pixelation is due to samba... copy it locally, and use a local directory |
| [01:35:50] | Beirdo: | if it's still pixellated, it's not samba causing it |
| [01:36:19] | wagnerrp: | not that samba could do such a thing as cause pixellation in video |
| [01:36:20] | mtrelins: | i guess at that point i'd have to setup an alternate player for those, eh? |
| [01:37:00] | wagnerrp: | and for what its worth, mplayer and mythtv all use the same decoding libraries, scaling is done in the video card |
| [01:37:10] | wagnerrp: | there should be no difference in quality between mplayer and mythtv output |
| [01:37:25] | mtrelins: | hmm |
| [01:37:36] | mtrelins: | is there a way to increase the cache size for playback? |
| [01:37:41] | mtrelins: | of the internal player |
| [01:37:46] | wagnerrp: | no |
| [01:37:56] | wagnerrp: | you just need to ensure you have a sufficiently fast and reliable network |
| [01:38:07] | mtrelins: | 100mbit switched |
| [01:38:15] | Beirdo: | and that's how samba could cause |
| [01:38:20] | wagnerrp: | which means 100mbit switched is plenty fine for anything |
| [01:38:28] | clever: | ive increased the cache size before to make it work on a 802.11b wifi |
| [01:38:31] | Beirdo: | samba is slow |
| [01:38:34] | clever: | it didnt help because of a related bug |
| [01:38:54] | mtrelins: | clever: did you get a workaround? |
| [01:38:55] | clever: | the instant it blocks on network access, it completely ignores the cache and locks everything up:P |
| [01:39:03] | Beirdo: | anyways, mplayer and mythtv may use the same libs, but are we sure it's the same version of them? |
| [01:39:30] | wagnerrp: | certainly current mythtv is going to be using newer libraries than a several year old copy of mplater |
| [01:39:36] | clever: | i just stopped using that slow wifi card |
| [01:41:28] | mtrelins: | is the jamu.py ... -MV good for a cron command? |
| [01:41:44] | mtrelins: | for incremental changes |

| [01:46:58] | high-rez: | If you tell myth you have a 7.1 setup – and it gets a 5.1 audio source does it attempt to do any up conversion or does it just output 6 channels of sound ? |
| [01:47:15] | wagnerrp: | are you running trunk? |
| [01:48:37] | high-rez: | wagner: I am running trunk. |
| [01:48:58] | wagnerrp: | then yes, it should handle upconversion and resampling as needed |
| [01:49:07] | high-rez: | I'm curious. My receiver will take 8 channel LPCM, but I only have 5.1 configured on it right now. |

| [01:49:36] | high-rez: | (or down if I had a 8 channel audio source) |
| [01:50:35] | high-rez: | So I should tell it I have 5.1 so it doesn't try to upsconvert 5.1 data to 7.1 – forcing my receiver to downconvert back to 5.1 ? |

| [01:57:04] | gafir: | hello, here is a quick question not directly related to mythtv but I thought you'd be best judge on this. I have recorded a video from my comcast dvr using firewire and test-mpeg2 — The first 55 seconds work, and then nothing can play beyond that (the part that was played a video recorded by the comcast dvr) — only VLC plays it properly, any other player or editor on Ubuntu just stops playing it — any idea what's happening here?

| [02:02:35] | mtrelins: | corrupt file? |
| [02:03:27] | gafir: | mtrelins:what i think it might be is that it's seen as a "stream" rather than a file with a beginning and an end |
| [02:03:33] | gafir: | it might be corrupted too |
| [02:03:55] | gafir: | but is there a way to put it back on track? make it clean and playable/convertable to other formats? |
| [02:03:55] | mtrelins: | vlc would probably play a dvd i dragged on the pavement |
| [02:04:01] | mtrelins: | transcode it? |

| [02:11:21] | gafir: | it looks on VLC that if I am "displaying locally" while transcoding the streaming, it works, it's only coz i wasn't displaying locally, i think |

| [02:13:07] | Beirdo: | there's a few MPEG tools in ubuntu and others for demuxing, remuxing |
| [02:13:09] | gafir: | what would be the best format for me to transcode it? |
| [02:13:16] | gafir: | MP4? |
| [02:13:23] | Beirdo: | whatever you need |
| [02:13:24] | gafir: | from VLC |
| [02:13:32] | Beirdo: | this isn't #vlc |

| [02:14:52] | gafir: | wagnerrp: ok sounds good then |
| [02:15:20] | wagnerrp: | 'mp4' amounts to one audio codec with multiple forms, two video formats with a whole slew of forms and derivative works, and a container that can carry just about any common audio or video codec you might want to stuff in it |
| [02:17:27] | gafir: | it's a bit confusing all these choices :-) |

| [04:40:26] | simcop2387-lap: | finding out which ones are the output channels is the fun part, once you do that you can use that same pattern to make a proper "surroudn51" that maps things correctly for your card (or even to multiple cards if you take the time) |

| [05:49:50] | Beirdo: | errrm |
| [05:50:01] | Beirdo: | it's the same as your toall |
| [05:50:23] | Beirdo: | but mapping the inputs, and named !surround51 to override (as far as I can tell) |
| [05:51:00] | simcop2387-lap: | put a simple; pcm.!surround51 {type plug; slave.pcm realsurround51} pcm.realsurround51 {theotherstuffhere} |

| [05:51:57] | simcop2387-lap: | i ran into strange issues too with them before i did that, like it didn't like some formats, but the plug type will "just make it work" |
| [05:52:30] | simcop2387-lap: | it'll do that by resampling, reformatting (8->16 or 16->8 etc) as neccesary |

| [06:00:44] | wagnerrp: | apparently the UK government has put up a website which allows users to specify and vote on laws that they would like to see repealed |

| [06:01:21] | simcop2387-lap: | hahaha |
| [06:01:26] | Beirdo: | way to make them not take the site seriously |
| [06:02:44] | wagnerrp: | and of course the comments that refusing to repeal them can only end in chaos |

| [06:09:09] | Beirdo: | heh |
| [06:09:30] | wagnerrp: | i mean we were supposed to move to config.xml |
| [06:09:37] | wagnerrp: | the perl bindings use config.xml |
| [06:09:45] | wagnerrp: | i rewrote the python bindings to use config.xml |
| [06:09:45] | Beirdo: | why the BLEEP is this trying to open it 2 channel? |
| [06:09:52] | Beirdo: | I told it to upmix to 5.1! |
| [06:09:58] | wagnerrp: | but mythtv seems to ignore it and continue to hit mysql.txt |
| [06:10:51] | Beirdo: | BAH |

| [06:18:22] | simcop2387-lap: | heh |
| [06:19:26] | simcop2387-lap: | yea i haven't run into that just yet simply because i'm just using it to upmix everything, so it might be that there's other strange issues going on when you want to switch |
| [06:19:45] | Beirdo: | quite likely |
| [06:19:55] | Beirdo: | thanks for the leg up though, it really did help |
| [06:20:20] | wagnerrp: | heres a good one.... 1708, a man posts a prediction that some astrologer would pass away on a certain day followed by another blurb confirming his dead |
| [06:20:58] | wagnerrp: | april first when the (supposedly dead astrologer) left his house, people thought they were seeing a dead man, because of course everything in the papers was true |

| [07:08:07] | Beirdo: | don't think so |
| [07:08:21] | Beirdo: | there, updated the asoundrc |
| [07:09:25] | Beirdo: | I'll try simplifying some other time, this is now working. |
| [07:09:38] | Beirdo: | BTW, the audio setup screens need work :) |
| [07:09:41] | jya: | something not even trunk doesn't do |

| [07:11:25] | Beirdo: | the funkiness, I think |
| [07:11:31] | Beirdo: | myth would reject alsa |
| [07:11:49] | Beirdo: | meanwhile, mplayer was happy |
| [07:12:06] | Beirdo: | so it's something we are asking for that they don't or something, I guess |
| [07:12:43] | jya: | Beirdo: if you selected surround51 in the list provided, it would be the real pcm device |
| [07:12:46] | jya: | not the plug one |
| [07:13:04] | jya: | [reading your log now] |
| [07:13:18] | jya: | missing too much info there... you would have had a previous error |
| [07:13:34] | Beirdo: | yeah, look at the asoundrc now :) |
| [07:14:15] | Beirdo: | oh, and trying to find out how to turn the outputs on... dang |
| [07:14:25] | Beirdo: | model=5stack to the driver module |
| [07:14:55] | Beirdo: | and I'm pretty sure it's 7.1 capable |
| [07:15:01] | Beirdo: | but I have 5.1 speakers |
| [07:16:33] | jya: | on my box |
| [07:16:42] | jya: | surround5.1 reports 8 channels available |
| [07:16:44] | simcop2387-lap: | Beirdo: i think i got lucky i didn't have to do any of that |
| [07:17:08] | jya: | my guess is that surround51, surround60 and surround7.1, surround40, all points to the same physical device |
| [07:18:18] | jya: | Beirdo: I still think that simply changing how you connected your speakers would have been easier... |
| [07:19:07] | simcop2387-lap: | in my case i used the route plugin to make an up mixer so i can just switch for my headphones easy, while still having some programs go only to the headphones (sip/skype) |
| [07:21:13] | Beirdo: | jya yeah, but that wasn't possible |
| [07:21:36] | jya: | because you want the pink cable to go with the pink connector :) |
| [07:21:38] | Beirdo: | as one that it seemed to want to have as the default was on the front of the PV |
| [07:21:40] | jya: | ? |
| [07:21:41] | Beirdo: | PC |
| [07:22:05] | Beirdo: | I tried every combination |
| [07:22:34] | simcop2387-lap: | jya: maybe he's using spare speakers and things to make a 5.1? i've done that :) |
| [07:22:41] | Beirdo: | no |
| [07:22:49] | Beirdo: | it's a Dell 5.1 speaker set |
| [07:23:10] | Beirdo: | anyways, it shoulda been easier :) |
| [07:23:24] | Beirdo: | but it wasn't... thankfully it WORKS now |
| [07:23:43] | simcop2387-lap: | and i'm off to bed |
| [07:23:50] | jya: | good.. that all that matters in the end |
| [07:23:57] | jya: | once it's configured |
| [07:24:03] | jya: | you don't need to worry about it... |
| [07:24:19] | jya: | If you ever get the chance to test 7.1 analog |
| [07:24:22] | Beirdo: | not sure that the subwoofer's getting much of the upmix though |
| [07:24:35] | jya: | I couldn't find any reference to what channel order ALSA use for those |
| [07:24:40] | Beirdo: | yeah, I could try setting up a spare set of speakers as side |
| [07:24:44] | jya: | so I made up something that seemed logical |
| [07:24:49] | jya: | but with alsa, you never know |
| [07:25:04] | Beirdo: | umm, speaker-test -Dsurround71 -c8 |
| [07:25:09] | Beirdo: | it should tell ya |
| [07:25:10] | jya: | internally, myth now entirely works with WAV / SMPTE order |
| [07:25:30] | jya: | for analog output |
| [07:25:36] | jya: | have to do 7.1 SMPTE -> ALSA |
| [07:25:47] | jya: | I don't use analog.. |
| [07:25:49] | Beirdo: | gotcha |
| [07:26:08] | jya: | my testing so far has been using my ipod headset |
| [07:26:15] | jya: | plugged in one of the back connector |
| [07:26:30] | Beirdo: | oh jeez |
| [07:26:36] | jya: | not the most convenient way of testing |
| [07:26:43] | Beirdo: | I do have 5.1 analog running now. |
| [07:26:44] | Beirdo: | heh |
| [07:26:55] | Beirdo: | 7.1 wouldn't be too hard |
| [07:27:18] | Beirdo: | although, honestly... my recordings are in stereo |
| [07:27:23] | jya: | i need to code a test mode, sending pink noise to each channel |
| [07:27:46] | Beirdo: | the HDPVR gives stereo... as does the pvr250 |
| [07:27:51] | jya: | I extracted the pink noise generator from speaker-test already |
| [07:28:06] | jya: | doesn't the hdpvr sends out via spdif ? |
| [07:28:12] | Beirdo: | once I get an HD Homerun for OTA, I may get some non-stereo :) |
| [07:28:15] | jya: | it doesn't pass surround ? |

| [07:33:21] | Beirdo: | no wonder it doesn't sound loud :) |
| [07:33:35] | Beirdo: | just went into alsamixer and started muting things |
| [07:33:42] | jya: | so if using a given alsa device, use the mixer allocated to that device automatically.. |

| [07:33:59] | jya: | and activate software control if using passthrough or re-encoded AC3 |
| [07:34:31] | Beirdo: | actually... |
| [07:34:42] | Beirdo: | center and right, I think |
| [07:34:50] | jya: | front and center should easily have 90% of the information |
| [07:34:59] | Beirdo: | wha? |
| [07:35:05] | Beirdo: | no they shouldn't |

| [07:35:27] | Beirdo: | rear has... none |
| [07:35:32] | Beirdo: | LFE... none |
| [07:35:42] | Beirdo: | and it sounds like left... none |
| [07:35:50] | jya: | if using myth upmixer |
| [07:35:53] | jya: | there's no LFE |
| [07:36:09] | Beirdo: | ummm |
| [07:36:14] | Beirdo: | so 5.1 is 5.0? |
| [07:36:20] | jya: | yes |
| [07:36:28] | Beirdo: | and this is better somehow? |
| [07:36:39] | Beirdo: | I think I'll use the alsa upmixer then |
| [07:36:42] | jya: | well, it's coming from stereo :P |
| [07:36:54] | jya: | the upmixer in myth |
| [07:37:01] | Beirdo: | right |
| [07:37:04] | jya: | is more in line with DTS-ES one |
| [07:37:14] | jya: | quality-wise |
| [07:37:30] | jya: | it's not using fixed weight value like you've done here |
| [07:37:49] | Beirdo: | I don't care about perceived quality... if most of the speakers are silent, there's no point, is there? |
| [07:38:07] | jya: | you should definitely have left + right + center very clearly |
| [07:38:13] | jya: | surround not so much |
| [07:38:23] | Beirdo: | any thought of doing surround decoding? |
| [07:38:26] | jya: | for most TV show |
| [07:38:42] | jya: | the center is likely going to be the loudest |
| [07:38:50] | Beirdo: | quite likely, yes |
| [07:39:15] | Beirdo: | but I would expect the LFE to be used, and the rear speakers... |
| [07:39:16] | jya: | if you check libmythsurround |
| [07:39:20] | jya: | elprocessor.cpp |
| [07:39:21] | Beirdo: | let me go check |
| [07:39:29] | jya: | you have some coefficient you can play with |
| [07:39:41] | jya: | a tad more weight is given to the center channel |
| [07:39:47] | jya: | you can easily change it |
| [07:39:55] | Beirdo: | OK, there's front left |
| [07:40:04] | jya: | try this one |
| [07:40:14] | jya: | this sample I mean |
| [07:40:17] | Beirdo: | and absolutely nothing in rear |
| [07:40:21] | Beirdo: | either speaker |
| [07:40:21] | jya: | getting the link |
| [07:41:04] | jya: | http://www.avenard.org/files/media/videotest/channelsPLII.mpg |
| [07:41:13] | jya: | this is a Pro-Logic II sample |
| [07:41:17] | jya: | so stereo |
| [07:41:23] | jya: | but with alsa upmixer |
| [07:41:28] | jya: | sorry myth upmixer |
| [07:41:39] | jya: | you'll get discrete 5.0 channel |
| [07:41:50] | jya: | best way to check if everything is working ok |
| [07:41:58] | Beirdo: | OK, one sec |
| [07:42:03] | jya: | http://www.avenard.org/files/media/videotest/audiotest/ |
| [07:42:28] | jya: | you'll find AAC 5.1, DTS, AC3, WMV, mono test sample |
| [07:42:44] | jya: | for full discrete test |
| [07:42:52] | jya: | make sure the upmixer quality is set to best |
| [07:43:12] | jya: | the 6chan48kpink |
| [07:43:34] | jya: | is a file sending pink front left, rear left, center etc |

| [07:44:35] | Beirdo: | and I would definitely expect the LFE to be used :) |
| [07:45:03] | jya: | the LFE gets a bit.. but it's not discrete |
| [07:45:41] | Beirdo: | I would think that a straight-up mix of left/right, then LPF would be what most people would expect |

| [07:46:46] | jya: | Beirdo: I reused the libmythfreesurround library |
| [07:47:00] | jya: | Foobar played with the weight factor a bit |
| [07:47:08] | jya: | but ultimately, nothing was change there |
| [07:47:39] | Beirdo: | fair enough |
| [07:48:42] | jya: | I doubt we would achieve better result though |
| [07:48:50] | jya: | it's a very good upmixer.. |

| [07:51:55] | jya: | records the audio output from myth with an alsa plug |
| [07:52:10] | jya: | then play back that stereo file, with myth configured in 5.1 |
| [07:52:16] | jya: | see what you get :) |
| [07:52:36] | Beirdo: | this will sound SO much better once I have everything set in place |
| [07:53:04] | Beirdo: | unfortunately... rear... requires wires across the floor |

| [09:37:31] | justinh: | and even then you have to know how to interpret the numbers. mythtv assumes the driver reports signal level & quality a certain way – which isn't always the case |
| [09:39:35] | eps_: | what is femon? |
| [09:39:55] | eps_: | me-tv also reports almost identical signal data |
| [09:40:09] | justinh: | femon is one of the dvb utils programs |
| [09:40:26] | eps_: | just found it via google, I shall try that |
| [09:41:04] | justinh: | I find that the signal level is actually the inverse of what you'd expect with my card's drivers |
| [09:41:09] | eps_: | I'm wondering what my best course of action would be. the single connection between the antenna and the pc (plug in the wall) is correctly seated and teh antenna is unmovable |
| [09:41:15] | justinh: | i.e. lower numbers == stronger signal |
| [09:41:19] | eps_: | haha oh I see |
| [09:41:31] | justinh: | some drivers differ |
| [09:41:44] | justinh: | the numbers you should *really* be looking at are BER and UNC |
| [09:41:55] | justinh: | Bit Error Rate and Uncorrectable errors |
| [09:42:11] | justinh: | oh and SNR. SNR should be as high as possible (up to FFFF) |
| [09:42:29] | justinh: | BER and UNC should both be as near to zero as possible. |
| [09:42:30] | eps_: | SNR sits between 99 and 100% for most channels |
| [09:42:44] | eps_: | I'll look at BER and UNC now, when I work out femon |
| [09:43:21] | eps_: | FE: Philips TDA10046H DVB-T (DVBT) |
| [09:43:21] | eps_: | status VY | signal 50% | snr 49% | ber 81338 | unc 0 | |
| [09:43:36] | eps_: | should I be running this while changing channels or? |
| [09:44:06] | eps_: | ah yes |
| [09:44:14] | justinh: | with digital TV the concept of channels is out of the window really |
| [09:44:25] | justinh: | ow. bad SNR, and very high BER |
| [09:44:30] | justinh: | your signal is mush |
| [09:44:42] | eps_: | status SCVYL | signal 53% | snr 99% | ber 8122 | unc 0 | FE_HAS_LOCK <--- this is on the channel I wish to watch |
| [09:44:50] | justinh: | ber is way too high |
| [09:45:08] | justinh: | you'll be seeing frequent blocking, jumps & all kinds of nasty stuff |
| [09:45:15] | justinh: | am I right? |
| [09:45:22] | eps_: | oh yes, especially while trying to watch the tour de france :P |
| [09:45:53] | eps_: | okay so a bad ber would suggest an issue with the co-ax cable I'm using or with the antenna? (or both?) |
| [09:45:58] | justinh: | so channels on other frequencies perform better? |
| [09:46:01] | eps_: | I'd guess a problem with the connections |
| [09:46:12] | justinh: | it can be interference, or all kinds of things |
| [09:46:34] | justinh: | oh FFS I've got to run environmental tests on a unit I tested 3 months ago because some **** lost the results |
| [09:46:41] | eps_: | status SCVYL | signal 61% | snr 100% | ber 466 | unc 0 | FE_HAS_LOCK <--- this is my highest signal channel |
| [09:46:53] | justinh: | that's still not very good |
| [09:46:57] | eps_: | much lower ber but fast action still ends with jaggies |
| [09:47:14] | justinh: | you need to deinterlace the video, then |
| [09:47:30] | eps_: | done, I will see if that improves it |
| [09:47:42] | justinh: | ARGHH. How can I run environmental tests when I don't have any thermocouples?! |
| [09:48:01] | justinh: | Oh well. it's gonna have to wait til I've ordered some more |
| [09:48:12] | eps_: | grab a candle :P |
| [09:48:56] | eps_: | okay so justinh I need to focus more on reducing the ber than on the signal strength? ... could that be caused by the offset of the antenna from the transmitter? (I can't imagine that would cause the issue) |
| [09:49:06] | justinh: | it's always the same. they decide the spec says the machine will run up to 50 degrees C, then we test it & find that the internal temperature exceeds the HDD's max temp rating |
| [09:49:21] | justinh: | and the video codec chip is hot enough to boil water on |
| [09:49:31] | justinh: | eps_: yes. signal quality is king |
| [09:49:57] | justinh: | eps_: experiment – and replacing the coax with better quality cable can't harm either |
| [09:50:02] | eps_: | justinh, you should live in australia. we find out specs are worthless every summer with temps up to 50*c |
| [09:50:13] | justinh: | overall foil screened cable |
| [09:50:28] | justinh: | not the crappy old UHF coax with like 50% screen coverage |
| [09:50:40] | justinh: | and foam insulator in the middle, not the crummy air spaced PVC junk |
| [09:50:46] | map7_: | Has anyone here got a HVR-2200 working correctly with SBS in Australia? |
| [09:50:49] | eps_: | the antenna appears to be a good quality one, it can't go any further towards the transmitter due to a chimney but that isn't blocking it, it should have LOS. |
| [09:50:59] | eps_: | I am using a 10m cheap coax cable from the wall to the pc though |
| [09:51:50] | eps_: | this cable has plasic (see through) around the copper and wire+foil around that but it is pretty thin compared to normal coax |
| [09:52:57] | eps_: | map7_, do your other channels work? |
| [09:53:10] | map7_: | yes all other channels work |
| [09:53:16] | map7_: | and I can get SBS to work sometimes |
| [09:53:34] | map7_: | once SBS is working if I change channel to channel 7 then back to SBS it stops working |
| [09:53:35] | eps_: | usually SBS are on another broadcasting tower (some times with ABC) |
| [09:53:52] | map7_: | it sits on 'LMs' so i suspect it's not getting signal |
| [09:54:14] | eps_: | LMs is a partial lock I think, me-tv usually picks those up (I'm watching sbs using me-tv now) |
| [09:54:23] | map7_: | but on my other mythtv box I can watch SBS fine and switch between channels |
| [09:54:24] | eps_: | which region are you in? |
| [09:54:26] | justinh: | eps_: try swapping the feed from the socket to the PC |
| [09:54:32] | justinh: | use real coax :) |
| [09:54:35] | map7_: | eps, oak park |
| [09:54:58] | eps_: | justinh, I'll try a shorter length I have, when I can work up the effort to move the whole pc |
| [09:54:59] | map7_: | I've brought some high quality coax |

| [10:00:00] | eps_: | yes that sounds correct. what card are you using in the other mythtv box that does work? |
| [10:00:17] | map7_: | I also have a sometimes issue with channel 9 and have heard that these channels are in a different codec than the rest of the channels is this correct? |
| [10:00:42] | eps_: | I don't know I'm sorry. it is up in qld on the mt kynock transmitter but other than that I do not know |
| [10:00:50] | map7_: | HVR Nova-T single PCI, but it uses an old version of mythbuntu that uses mplayer I think |
| [10:01:33] | eps_: | I think you should look to increase the lock time allowed in mythsetup and also check dmesg for any firmware errors related to your hvr2200 |

| [11:20:44] | eps_: | map7_, great news :) |
| [11:20:49] | map7_: | is this anything to worry about? |
| [11:20:53] | eps_: | no |
| [11:21:04] | eps_: | your mythbackend is starting at the same time as mythfrontend |
| [11:21:19] | eps_: | you really want the backend up and running before the frontend |
| [11:21:37] | eps_: | on my myth computers one takes about 8 seconds and the other 5 seconds and ubuntu does all the staggering for me |
| [11:21:38] | map7_: | is there a way to set priority on startup scripts? |
| [11:22:06] | eps_: | there is but I couldn't work it out when I had a quick look. ubuntu moved to upstart which is confusing. on the old init.d system it's pretty straight forward |
| [11:22:51] | map7_: | yeah I haven't looked much at upstart myself. |
| [11:23:21] | eps_: | I reboot my myth computer roughly once every six months so I don't care enough to fix it |
| [11:24:49] | map7_: | yeah I suppose I shouldn't worry about this one |

| [12:09:30] | map7_: | When setting up a remote frontend what's the difference between saving the 'database details' and the 'backend details'? |

| [12:13:11] | justinh: | or rather, you shouldn't have to |
| [12:13:33] | justinh: | a frontend can locate a backend by looking at the database |
| [12:15:12] | map7_: | yes it automatically finds them then asks me the question 'save database details' or 'save backend details' |
| [12:17:47] | map7_: | so does 'save backend details' just save the name of my backend I like to connect to on the remote frontend? |
| [12:19:40] | justinh: | no |
| [12:19:58] | justinh: | there can be only one master backend |

| [12:23:14] | map7_: | yes I understand. When I start me remote frontend for the first time it finds my backend, I select it, then it asks if I would like to save the details. The options are save database details, save backend details or don't save. what's the difference between saving the database details or the backend details? |
| [12:29:47] | justinh: | I dont remember ever having had to save backend details |
| [12:29:56] | justinh: | database details sure |
| [12:30:55] | map7_: | yeah I've only recently seen this when setting up the new mythtv remote frontends |
| [12:31:21] | justinh: | yet another triumph of the documentation :-\ |
| [12:32:35] | map7_: | I suppose I'll just continue saving the database details. |
| [12:34:43] | justinh: | the only changeset I can find relating to it might be http://svn.mythtv.org/trac/changeset/15618 |
| [12:34:51] | justinh: | which is about as clear as mud |
| [12:35:15] | justinh: | do whatever works for you :) |
| [12:35:55] | map7_: | well the database details has always worked and still works for me |
| [12:36:07] | map7_: | but you always wonder what the other option is for |
| [12:36:17] | map7_: | especially when there is no documentation about the other option |
| [12:37:59] | justinh: | for the 5 minutes it'd have taken whoever committed the feature to update the docs, this is silly |
| [12:39:06] | map7_: | oh well I'm just happy I've got my new mythtv build all working with my HVR-2200, EPG through shepherd and a remote frontend over wifi tonight |
| [12:39:14] | map7_: | I think I'll quit whilst I'm ahead |
| [12:39:44] | justinh: | ugh. good luck with the wireless |
| [12:40:35] | map7_: | The wireless is just for my notebook at home, seems to be working nice |
| [12:40:44] | map7_: | Wireless-N mind you |
| [12:41:23] | map7_: | With the end solution all the frontends will be wired |
| [12:41:29] | map7_: | and diskless |
| [12:41:51] | justinh: | I used to have a diskless frontend |
| [12:41:59] | justinh: | pain in the backside |
| [12:42:04] | map7_: | This new system will be replacing a system I built two years ago for my boss which has 6 diskless frontends |
| [12:42:16] | justinh: | stupid sky2 network controller sometimes wouldn't come up at boot |
| [12:42:25] | map7_: | and I use diskless thin clients at work |
| [12:42:49] | justinh: | one boot in 4 would fail. proper pain in the arse |
| [12:43:11] | map7_: | that sounds bad. |
| [12:43:27] | justinh: | so upgraded my laptop's hdd & put the old laptop drive in the frontend :) |
| [12:43:33] | justinh: | now as good as diskless |
| [12:43:50] | justinh: | only without the stupid temperamental NIC |
| [12:44:03] | justinh: | mind, it seems to come up with network everytime now |
| [12:44:09] | map7_: | yeah I've had issues with bad NICs and thin clients |
| [12:44:30] | justinh: | I might use a uSB bootloader in future or summink |
| [12:44:42] | map7_: | I try and stick with intel and realtek chipsets |
| [12:44:57] | justinh: | about time motherboard flash was big enough to put the bloomin kernel on |
| [12:45:00] | map7_: | yeah USB bootloaders are a great idea |
| [12:45:12] | map7_: | i agree |
| [12:45:19] | justinh: | the cheapness of it all. sheesh |
| [12:45:40] | justinh: | imagine what you could do with half a gig :) |
| [12:46:22] | justinh: | oh dear. this isn't good. at room temp, the video codec in this DVR is reaching 71 deg C |

| [15:40:07] | iamlindoro: | Or a reasonable facsimile |
| [15:40:17] | sphery: | You disappeared right when I discovered metadata. |
| [15:40:50] | sphery: | Since you couldn't get the blow-by-blow report of my thoughts, I guess you'll just have to settle for the summary: |
| [15:40:53] | sphery: | 8-D |
| [15:41:00] | sphery: | (I love it.) |
| [15:41:02] | iamlindoro: | ha |
| [15:41:08] | iamlindoro: | what did you discover about it? |
| [15:41:41] | iamlindoro: | and wonder what prompted the discovery |
| [15:41:44] | sphery: | I upgraded to 0.23-fixes (finally), and set it up for MythVideo and Watch Recordings, and it really makes the UI better. |
| [15:42:00] | sphery: | (thanks for forcing me to admit how far behind I was.) |

| [15:43:04] | sphery: | yeah, I know a lot of it is waiting on the schema changes, so ... |
| [15:43:44] | iamlindoro: | Think at this point really doing them right means .25, so no real rush |
| [15:43:53] | iamlindoro: | still would be nice to start on that work early in a cycle to polish it, though |

| [15:44:39] | sphery: | Yeah, 0.24 will be a challenge for that much, but we can get things going before 0.24. We should be able to get the schema in place and then do incremental conversion. Could actually finish the conversion for 0.24, probably. |
| [15:44:57] | PennStateJoe74: | i recently moved to a new house and re-did my setup. one of the things i had to do was take my sata dvd/cd rom drive and connect it via a 10 foot usb cable using a sata to usb adapter. now ubuntu no longer seems to recognize the drive. any suggestions... |
| [15:45:00] | sphery: | anyway, I'll talk with you more about it once I start adding the changes. |

| [16:50:56] | Standerd: | it's not really a VLC question but #hardware appears locked, and I figured people here would know. I'm a novice who wants to encode a family VHS tape, eg to have it in an AVI or some other digital format. I have a VHS player with a Composite Video Out yellow slot, and a friend has a video card with a Composite Video In video slot. Is this enough to be able to convert the tape? |
| [16:52:21] | wagnerrp: | assuming you have drivers for it |
| [16:52:32] | Standerd: | the video card? yes |
| [16:52:38] | wagnerrp: | however mythtv is not designed for, or optimal for such usage |
| [16:52:50] | wagnerrp: | the capture card |
| [16:53:09] | wagnerrp: | 'video card' usually refers to an output card |
| [16:53:14] | Standerd: | oh, I don't have a capture card |
| [16:53:33] | wagnerrp: | if you dont have a card that could capture video, just how do you intend to capture video? |
| [16:53:35] | Standerd: | well...does the fact that the video card have a Video In slot means it doubles as a capture card? |
| [16:54:17] | wagnerrp: | VIVO stuff on video cards is generally poorly supported on linux |

| [18:12:49] | benoit35: | hi all, i have updated to 0.23 branches last day and i can't launch any video since, i'm using qt 4.5.3 |
| [18:13:09] | dewman: | iamlindoro, thanks....that helps... |
| [18:13:16] | iamlindoro: | dewman: np, good luck |
| [18:13:55] | justinh: | benoit35: and your logs say what? |
| [18:14:04] | justinh: | and by video what do you mean? |
| [18:18:04] | iamlindoro: | That would be telling |
| [18:18:48] | justinh: | welcome back btw iamlindoro :) Heard you'd taken a break |
| [18:19:15] | iamlindoro: | Slight break, then 9 days in the forest |
| [18:19:17] | iamlindoro: | But thanks |
| [18:19:41] | benoit35: | video = dvd,tv,avi... |

| [18:19:57] | benoit35: | mythfrontend log : http://mythtv.pastebin.ca/1895611 |
| [18:20:13] | iamlindoro: | Beirdo: I'm back, so I escaped that fate ;) |
| [18:20:17] | Beirdo: | heh |
| [18:20:53] | Beirdo: | iamlindoro: in trunk... there don't seem to be HD1080i or HD720p icons in the frontend in Arclight. |
| [18:21:06] | justinh: | ooo mythfrontend has taste not playing that disc |
| [18:21:13] | Beirdo: | is this due to the new stuff rolling in that hasn't made it into the themes yet or something? |
| [18:21:16] | iamlindoro: | Beirdo: Arclight has them, but it's quite likely the pginfo refactor broke the flags |
| [18:21:33] | iamlindoro: | Think there may be an open ticket on that |
| [18:21:42] | Beirdo: | K. just so you know there is a disconnect there :) |
| [18:21:47] | iamlindoro: | Beirdo: http://svn.mythtv.org/trac/ticket/8589 |
| [18:22:05] | iamlindoro: | So it does appear to have been the pginfo refactor |
| [18:22:12] | justinh: | benoit35: was mythtv all you upgraded? like umm.. did you upgrade the distro too? |
| [18:22:16] | iamlindoro: | danielk should probably check that patch |
| [18:22:20] | Beirdo: | oh look at that :) |
| [18:22:37] | Beirdo: | and another thing (not the theme's fault) |
| [18:22:42] | Beirdo: | the HD icon is bogus |
| [18:23:00] | Beirdo: | it should be determined by the file content, not the listings data (once it's recorded) |
| [18:23:28] | benoit35: | no just mythtv, i'm using a personnal dristro based on lfs and archlinux |
| [18:23:32] | Beirdo: | not the theme's issue :) |
| [18:23:46] | Beirdo: | it's just getting bogus data, and doing what it's told |

| [18:28:13] | wagnerrp: | sounds like youre going into livetv, and your backend is not properly starting a recording |
| [18:28:20] | wagnerrp: | check you backend logs for errors indicating why |
| [18:29:30] | wagnerrp: | oh, youre in mythvideo, not recordings |
| [18:30:03] | justinh: | can't say I've ever known anybody here have problems getting video to display at all |

| [18:32:58] | iamlindoro: | yuck, what's with all the high verbosity logs? |
| [18:33:03] | iamlindoro: | Makes them less helpful, not moreso |
| [18:33:31] | iamlindoro: | also the excerpts aren't helpful-- logs at normal verbosity, from start to finish are a lot more likely to be helpful |
| [18:33:59] | wagnerrp: | iamlindoro: you mean those 19ms of data arent enough? |

| [20:58:30] | high-rez: | So, i'm a bit confused agbout the whole digital out thing with also. Generally speaking, if you want to output to HDMI, should an HDMI device have on channel (subdevice) or many ? |
| [20:59:03] | high-rez: | On my hardware, for example, I understand that due to a bug I have to specify the specific plughw device in order to get alsa to output correctly. |
| [20:59:49] | wagnerrp: | digital... audio? |
| [21:00:01] | high-rez: | Right, digital audio. |
| [21:00:09] | wagnerrp: | that depends on your hardware |
| [21:00:19] | wagnerrp: | some hardware outright doesnt support muxing into HDMI |
| [21:00:26] | high-rez: | Well I have an nvidia onboard hdmi (not in use) and a geforce 210. |
| [21:00:38] | high-rez: | The question is with the geforce 210, how many subdevices should it have ? |
| [21:00:46] | wagnerrp: | some only supports SPDIF over HDMI, and requires you connect the SPDIF headers to your board to pass through |
| [21:00:50] | high-rez: | Mine has four subdevices, but I think I read that its an enumeration bug ? |
| [21:00:59] | wagnerrp: | a GF210 should have onboard hardware, for proper output |
| [21:01:14] | wagnerrp: | i would imagine it would have one audio device per output |
| [21:01:16] | high-rez: | Right, my card has real hdmi audio. But how many subdevices should it have ? |
| [21:02:28] | high-rez: | And if it is supposed to have multiple devices (the hdmi output) – are those devices used for different thnings? E.g. device 3 for ac3/dts, device8 for lpcm ? |
| [21:03:13] | high-rez: | E.g. this is the aplay -l output for my geforce 210: http://pastebin.ca/1895703 |
| [21:03:57] | Beirdo: | ALSA.. aaaaaahhhhh!!! |
| [21:04:02] | ** Beirdo runs away screaming ** | |
| [21:04:11] | high-rez: | Alsa drives me nuts :) |
| [21:04:29] | high-rez: | I love how the pc speaker is now an alsa device |
| [21:04:46] | Beirdo: | cat /dev/kmem > /dev/dsp |
| [21:04:50] | Beirdo: | hehe |
| [21:05:03] | Beirdo: | that used to be my "go/no go" test with OSS |
| [21:05:20] | high-rez: | I like /dev/urandom better. Its much more random, though not really. |
| [21:05:23] | Beirdo: | if you get silence... your sound ain't workin |
| [21:05:50] | Beirdo: | speaker-test is useful though for alsa |
| [21:05:57] | Beirdo: | I used it a LOT last night |
| [21:06:01] | high-rez: | Yeah speaker test is *grrreat* |
| [21:06:17] | Beirdo: | like Tony the Tiger |
| [21:06:46] | high-rez: | You know Tony the tiger isn't such a good guy any more. Turns out he was shaking kids down. |
| [21:06:57] | Beirdo: | it's grreeeaaaat! |
| [21:07:00] | Beirdo: | oh wait |
| [21:07:11] | Beirdo: | coulda been worse things to do with kids. |
| [21:07:22] | Beirdo: | but I digress |

| [22:59:54] | bradlis7: | And when I move the GUI behind the toolbar, it still shows up |
| [23:00:08] | bradlis7: | I'm using the latest version in the ubuntu repos |
| [23:01:01] | Brik1: | bradlis7 – i would love if that was my only issue ;) |
| [23:01:43] | bradlis7: | haha. it's minor, but from my searches, scan displacement should do the trick, and it's annoying that it doesn't |
| [23:02:19] | Brik1: | I have seen that but i'm still trying to sort out guide data and channel listings |
| [23:02:42] | bradlis7: | @Brik1, I've spent 3–4 days getting it working (at least most of the time), and getting my channels |

| [23:06:15] | ** skd5aner has lived in too many cities – he can recognize too many local network affiliate icons in the icon editor :S ** | |
| [23:06:30] | bradlis7: | it also has vertical/horizontal scaling |
| [23:06:30] | Beirdo: | skd5aner: heh, fun |
| [23:07:04] | Beirdo: | it's not just displacement. Overscan includes all directions last I heard |

| [23:07:11] | Brik1: | in general playback there is horiz and vert scalling too |
| [23:07:14] | skd5aner: | Beirdo: I know you mentioned you go in on occasion, I wanted to give you an idea of how I'm tackling them... |
| [23:07:16] | Brik1: | screen2 |
| [23:07:21] | Beirdo: | !url overscan |
| [23:07:21] | MythLogBot: | overscan: http://hd.engadget.com/2010/05/27/hd-101-over . . . l-tvs-do-it/ |
| [23:07:30] | Beirdo: | skd5aner: cool |
| [23:07:46] | Brik1: | my tv also has a "pixel for pixel" mode |
| [23:07:58] | skd5aner: | Beirdo: If there's a local network icon, I always pick that one (as long as it's valid... if it's only the generic national network icon, I do not approve it, I leave it as-is... |
| [23:08:06] | Brik1: | when thats enabled I see the artifacts you describe |
| [23:08:18] | Beirdo: | skd5aner: sounds the same as my methodology |
| [23:08:20] | skd5aner: | ... that way it's there for someone to pick, but it won't prevent them from getting a local network affiliate icon when/if one eventually shows up |
| [23:08:44] | Brik1: | when its not enabled I get the overscan (cuts off top some) |
| [23:08:58] | skd5aner: | so, if you go in, you'll probably see a lot of fox, nbc, abc, and cbs icons that technically would work, but if we "approve" them now, then the folks would never benefit if a local icon ever came around |
| [23:08:58] | Beirdo: | cuts all sides off including the top |
| [23:09:10] | Beirdo: | true nuff |
| [23:09:56] | skd5aner: | Beirdo: I really do try to validate everything between zap2it/xmltvid, wikipedia, network/affiliate website, and lyngsat, so I hope it goes to good use for folks |
| [23:09:57] | Beirdo: | if you have nvidia card, I thought there was a way to fix that in the setup of X somehow |
| [23:09:58] | Brik1: | weird question, is there a way to generate a channels.conf from the winzode HDHomerun setup tool? |
| [23:10:21] | bradlis7: | @Brik1, but I show toolbars on my screen. I don't want the tv to cut it off, I want myth to do it |
| [23:10:31] | skd5aner: | If you are looking to lesson overscan, you can use nvidia-settings and modify overscan with the slider... but you must SAVE the settings for them to span x sessions |
| [23:11:00] | skd5aner: | however, my problem is I have underscan, and the tool doesn't allow you to "grow" the screen to create overscan |
| [23:11:06] | Beirdo: | bradlis7: you want a cropping in playback? |
| [23:11:14] | Beirdo: | I don't think that's supported |
| [23:11:14] | bradlis7: | yes |
| [23:11:24] | Beirdo: | I could be wrong though |
| [23:11:27] | bradlis7: | ok, then what is scan displacement for? |
| [23:11:45] | Beirdo: | I dunno. For someone else to explain? :) |
| [23:12:19] | Beirdo: | I'm fine with my setup the way it is, it never was necessary to remove that normally-off-the-screen info |
| [23:12:46] | Beirdo: | it would be cool if we could leverage it (if it's there) in the commercial detection though |
| [23:12:51] | skd5aner: | bradlis7: you may be able to do it via xorg.conf, but the nvidia-settings gui doesn't allow you to add overscan, just subtract |
| [23:12:53] | bradlis7: | haha |
| [23:13:04] | bradlis7: | oh ok |
| [23:13:05] | Brik1: | I just found a way to generate a channels.conf from hdhomerun channels database |
| [23:13:13] | bradlis7: | @brik1, how? |

| [23:14:00] | Brik1: | found this http://www.silicondust.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=8331 because I cant seem to get an acurate channels listing matc up to guide data |
| [23:14:43] | Beirdo: | OOK |
| [23:14:49] | skd5aner: | Brik1: in North America, It shouln't be hard – but you do have to go in and manually set up the xmltvid for each channel based on what your lineup is in Schedules Direct |
| [23:15:07] | Beirdo: | I guess I'll have that fun after I buy one in a bit |
| [23:15:11] | Beirdo: | for OTA capture |
| [23:15:20] | Brik1: | ugh |
| [23:15:25] | skd5aner: | I have the problem with QAM |
| [23:15:28] | skd5aner: | same as OTA |
| [23:15:58] | Brik1: | i'm gona go play with the HDhr channels listings, wont be watching IRC for a bit, thanks all |
| [23:16:07] | Beirdo: | have fun |
| [23:16:10] | bradlis7: | my problem with the channels is that each channel was found 4 times, and i had to manually set channel numbers, and then they would never lock on to the channel, so i had to manually delete the ones that didn't work |
| [23:18:32] | skd5aner: | Well, you have to be careful – you can edit channum, callsign, and xmltvid |
| [23:18:53] | skd5aner: | channum and callsign should match what you see in Schedules Direct |
| [23:19:33] | skd5aner: | Also, my scan turns up a BUNCH of untunable channels – I just know which ones I should expect to see, and either delete or check the rest as unvisible |
| [23:20:50] | bradlis7: | @skd5aner, oh ok... do you use mythweb? |
| [23:22:07] | skd5aner: | bradlis7: yes, typically – althouh sometimes I leverage phpmyadmin too |

| [23:22:37] | skd5aner: | but mythweb works good for that task, just be careful – it's always a good idea to back up your database (or at least your channels table) before going in there |
| [23:22:56] | skd5aner: | dinner is here, so good luck |
| [23:24:05] | bradlis7: | thanks |
| [23:24:13] | skd5aner: | if you ask me, this is the one thing that truely "sucks" about mythtv... yes, I said it! Trying to get scanned digital channels aligned to listing data is way overly complicated for the average user |
| [23:24:29] | skd5aner: | but, that's my only major complaint... so :) |
| [23:25:11] | bradlis7: | yeah, it's still great overall though |
| [23:25:35] | Beirdo: | so don't scan? :) |

| [23:25:50] | ** Beirdo ducks and runs ** | |
