[00:34:55] k-man: wagnerrp: thanks
[00:35:12] wagnerrp: Shadow__X: no, thats user support, here is the correct place
[00:35:20] Shadow__X: oh ok thanks
[00:35:55] wagnerrp: what version of mythtv are you trying to build?
[00:36:08] Shadow__X: .23 fixes
[00:36:18] wagnerrp: ah, right... thats right at the top
[00:36:39] Shadow__X: yeah
[00:36:45] wagnerrp: anyway... thats not even a mythtv bug
[00:36:50] wagnerrp: youre still trying to build Qt
[00:37:08] Shadow__X: wagnerrp: oh ok so what should i do
[00:37:20] wagnerrp: figure out why Qt isnt building?
[00:37:32] wagnerrp: says 'this version of mac os x is unsupported'
[00:38:03] Shadow__X: so #qt i go? its os x snow leopard

[00:38:53] wagnerrp: (or rather 4.4.3 is not set up to allow building on osx 10.6)
[00:39:41] Shadow__X: should i try to build qt 4.5 or 4.6 manually?
[00:39:48] wagnerrp: open up the file in question
[00:39:51] wagnerrp: line 68
[00:39:55] wagnerrp: youll see what you need to do
[00:42:00] Shadow__X: ah so put # in front of 4.4 and remove it from 4–6 correct
[00:42:08] wagnerrp: looks like it to me
[00:42:16] wagnerrp: '#' being a comment

[00:58:52] Captain_Murdoch: wagnerrp, I'm up on the fence. essentially he's doing what they want you to do when they encrypt. you record the encrypted stream and then have to decrypt on playback. don't cablecard versions of windows and tivo3 store the encrypted streams on disk and then decrypt on playback?
[00:59:51] ** Captain_Murdoch may be wrong, but he's willing to admit it. :) **
[01:00:56] wagnerrp: Captain_Murdoch: hardcam/softcam argument aside, its patching against the mythbuntu release version
[01:01:09] wagnerrp: you know, the one 400 revisions before the official 0.23 release
[01:01:12] wagnerrp: :)
[01:01:36] Captain_Murdoch: yeah, that makes it a feature request without a patch.

[01:59:12] wagnerrp: also one of the few people running centos
[02:03:29] J-e-f-f-A: Gee, why is mythbackend trying to generate a preview with dimensions of 0x0? "Preview Error: Despite command '/usr/local/bin/mythbackend --generate-preview 0x0 --chanid 8550 --starttime 20100708210000 ' returning success" ... "MainServer: Failed to make preview image."
[02:03:55] wagnerrp: that probably makes it decide on its own based off the resolution of the video
[02:04:13] J-e-f-f-A: wagnerrp: so probably a failed recording... doh! /me checks.

[02:06:43] GreyFoxx: I take it our minimum python version is 2.6 now ?:)
[02:06:47] wagnerrp: it was a rerun
[02:07:01] wagnerrp: GreyFoxx: that depends on what youre referring to
[02:07:06] J-e-f-f-A: wagnerrp: tonight? Should have been a new episode....
[02:07:13] wagnerrp: minimum /should/ be 2.5
[02:07:26] Beirdo: stupid upstart
[02:07:29] wagnerrp: but there are one or two MNV grabbers that need 2.6
[02:07:35] GreyFoxx: I'm assuming that is the cause of this : http://www.pastebin.ca/1897027
[02:08:32] GreyFoxx: I noticed when the movie metadata lookup app started complaining after I updated an hour ago :)
[02:08:47] wagnerrp: 'with' is supposed to exist in 2.5
[02:08:53] wagnerrp: but i think i need to import it from __future__
[02:09:09] ** wagnerrp isnt making a joke **
[02:09:15] Beirdo: heh
[02:09:27] Beirdo: stupid STUPID upstart
[02:09:30] GreyFoxx: heh
[02:09:46] Beirdo: I want normal init... please
[02:10:13] Beirdo: aiccu can not be started until AFTER my network is up, you stupid ubuntu piece of junk
[02:10:25] Beirdo: my building had a power failure...
[02:10:48] Beirdo: just before I got home... firewall didn't bring my IPv6 tunnel back up because upstart is retarded
[02:11:44] Shadow__X: now it is failing later on libqtsql.4.6.0.dylib error 1
[02:12:54] Shadow__X: http://pastebin.ca/1897029
[02:13:35] J-e-f-f-A: wagnerrp: Yeah, you're right... it is a rerun... why did they do that?
[02:13:43] Beirdo: because they can
[02:13:46] Shadow__X: it seems as if i might actually need to goto qt it seems as if most of these issues are qt related
[02:14:23] wagnerrp: GreyFoxx: want to give http://pastebin.ca/1897031 a try?
[02:14:44] GreyFoxx: Sure, I'll try it in just a sec
[02:14:44] wagnerrp: i intend to keep 2.5 support through 0.24
[02:14:49] GreyFoxx: yay
[02:14:50] wagnerrp: but i have no machine to test it on
[02:15:02] wagnerrp: so sometimes i miss stuff like that
[02:15:53] GreyFoxx: No errors installing that time
[02:15:53] wagnerrp: although ill probably bump it to 2.6 after the branch
[02:15:58] ** GreyFoxx tests the grabbers **
[02:16:18] GreyFoxx: Woop, all fixed now :)
[02:16:24] wagnerrp: considering 2.7 is already out

[02:32:01] Beirdo: thou shalt not make 2.7 a dependency... yet
[02:32:50] Beirdo: 699 to go... you think we'll make it before 0.24?

[03:23:52] wagnerrp: 'pickle' is the standard serialization mechanism in python
[03:23:59] [R]: wagnerrp: haha
[03:24:17] wagnerrp: but most of the classes in the python bindings cannot be used because they contain a connection of some sort
[03:24:44] wagnerrp: so i need to manually define the data to pack and unpack

[03:44:07] Beirdo: http://www.monoprice.com/products/product.asp . . . amp;format=2
[03:44:15] Beirdo: hmmm, this could be a useful tool
[03:44:41] wagnerrp: not really
[03:44:48] [R]: for what?
[03:44:49] Beirdo: why not?
[03:44:54] wagnerrp: only for 8 and 9 series nvidia cards
[03:45:07] Beirdo: to put the audio from my current setup onto the HDMI :)
[03:45:11] Beirdo: yeah
[03:45:19] wagnerrp: er... prior to 8-series cards
[03:45:19] Beirdo: and a LOT of people still use those
[03:45:20] [R]: i have a motherboard with an onboard 8200 or something
[03:45:26] wagnerrp: or 2-series ATI
[03:45:27] [R]: and it muxes the audio onto the hdmi
[03:45:30] [R]: dvi*
[03:45:42] [R]: freaked the fsck out of me when i realized that it was doing it
[03:45:44] wagnerrp: anything 8-series or newer supports muxing audio into hdmi
[03:45:52] Beirdo: well, the 9500GT I have has no HDMI
[03:45:55] Beirdo: only DVI
[03:46:06] Beirdo: and doesn't show up as an audio device that I've ever seen
[03:46:07] [R]: Beirdo: it does it with dvi for me
[03:46:08] wagnerrp: doubtful
[03:46:26] Beirdo: what's doubtful?
[03:46:27] wagnerrp: that 'DVI' port is probably an HDMI port with a DVI connector
[03:46:34] Beirdo: it's DVI-D
[03:46:41] [R]: well it has a dvi and an hdmi
[03:46:48] wagnerrp: and youve probably got holes for an SPDIF header somewhere on the board you can tap into
[03:47:29] Beirdo: then wouldn't it show in ALSA somehow?
[03:47:39] wagnerrp: no, its just passthrough
[03:47:46] Beirdo: gah
[03:48:00] wagnerrp: you feed it a SPDIF signal into that header, and it muxes it into the video feed
[03:48:03] Beirdo: well, I can LOOK
[03:48:09] Beirdo: hehe
[03:48:14] Beirdo: but I dunno :)
[03:48:27] wagnerrp: exactly what that $40 box does... for free
[03:48:37] Beirdo: yeah, if it has it... :)
[03:49:22] Beirdo: certainly doesn't seem to be a connector on the outside anyways
[03:49:34] Beirdo: and I'm not opening it right now, it's recording
[03:51:59] Beirdo: something to look into though :)
[03:52:32] Beirdo: not that I REALLY want to find a way to route an optical cable into the box
[03:53:26] Beirdo: I guess it MIGHT be able to do it onto a non-optical output, I dunno. I'd have to research it all
[03:53:27] ekristen: Beirdo: correct me if I am wrong but the only ways to stream recordings from mythtv is either using the mythprotocol via port 6543 or via mythweb? of course the option to mount the drive where the recordings are stored is an option too
[03:53:43] wagnerrp: ekristen: you can hit the XML interface
[03:53:50] Beirdo: you can use UPnP
[03:54:07] ekristen: wagnerrp: really? the XML interface has a way to deliver the content?
[03:54:07] Beirdo: if you have such players around
[03:54:25] ekristen: whats the syntax for the UPnP do you know?
[03:54:33] ekristen: or point me to the documentation?
[03:54:34] wagnerrp: http://<backend>:6544/Myth/GetRecording . . . 00:00:00>
[03:54:58] wagnerrp: the UPNP is just that, UPNP
[03:55:10] wagnerrp: you access it as documented by the UPNP AV protocol
[03:55:39] [R]: i want a upnp device
[03:55:41] [R]: something small and cheap
[03:56:00] wagnerrp: for what its worth, i believe the UPnP interface uses the link i gave above
[03:56:03] ekristen: ah I misread the xml api on the GetRecording
[03:56:09] ekristen: I took it for what was currently recording
[03:56:13] ekristen: thanks wagnerrp !
[03:56:16] ekristen: thanks Beirdo !
[03:57:04] wagnerrp: if youre using python, ive got a file object set up to stream over mythprotocol in the bindings
[03:58:24] ekristen: wagnerrp: really?
[03:58:51] ekristen: it just so happens I have a little project call mythboxee
[03:59:10] ekristen: I was rewriting it to use the XML interface
[03:59:24] ekristen: s/was/am/
[03:59:41] wagnerrp: from MythTV import ftopen; ftopen('myth://<storage group>@<backend>[:port]/path/to/file.mpg')
[04:00:03] wagnerrp: it returns a FileTransfer object, that behaves like a standard python file object
[04:00:26] ekristen: can I get the source from you?
[04:00:31] wagnerrp: no
[04:01:04] wagnerrp: you can get the source from you
[04:01:08] Beirdo: eww. mythboxee?!
[04:01:14] ** Beirdo shudders **
[04:01:35] wagnerrp: youve already got the bindings installed, you dope... :P
[04:01:54] ekristen: oh
[04:02:00] ekristen: I am a n00b to python
[04:02:08] ekristen: Beirdo: why the shudders?
[04:02:30] wagnerrp: well when xbmc did it, they did it badly
[04:02:45] wagnerrp: ignoring protocol and schema checks
[04:02:52] ekristen: well that is unfortunate
[04:02:56] wagnerrp: if youre using the XML interface, there are no checks to ignore
[04:03:08] wagnerrp: and if youre using the python bindings, they handle all those checks for you
[04:03:10] ekristen: the current version I am working on is just going to use the XML interface
[04:03:36] ekristen: eventually I would like to be able to use the mythtv bindings, but one step at a time ;)
[04:03:53] wagnerrp: fair enough, there is documentation on the wiki describing them
[04:04:06] wagnerrp: as well as the internal documentation, accessible through the interpreter shell
[04:04:20] ekristen: sweet, so the mythtv ftopen comes with python?
[04:04:21] wagnerrp: there are some significant changes that will show up in 0.24
[04:04:32] wagnerrp: (after some radical changes that showed up in 0.23)
[04:04:35] ekristen: I am assuming that is why I would already have it?
[04:04:37] Beirdo: well cool. I hope ya do it right, and everyone will be happy :)
[04:05:07] ekristen: Beirdo: me too, like I said I am strictly using the XML interface
[04:05:08] wagnerrp: if you installed mythtv, and you had the necessary prereqs, and didnt intentionally disable the python bindings, you have them installed
[04:05:16] ekristen: ah
[04:05:22] Beirdo: well, I'm all for having it done right :)
[04:05:41] Beirdo: time to watch Trailer Park Boys :)
[04:05:53] ekristen: wagnerrp: my understand is I will have to provide the libraries with the boxee app if I am going to get it to work on other peopls computers that don't have mythtv installed
[04:06:12] ekristen: Beirdo: do you use boxee?
[04:06:33] wagnerrp: pull them out of the source tree if you need them
[04:06:38] Beirdo: nope
[04:06:44] Beirdo: no need for it
[04:06:55] Beirdo: I do mythtv :)
[04:07:09] Beirdo: all I want
[04:07:18] wagnerrp: bastardize them as you please
[04:07:32] wagnerrp: i never put any sort of licensing terms on them, so as far as im concerned, there are none
[04:07:49] ekristen: wagnerrp: if I want to use them in the boxee app I will probably have to do that, thanks for the heads up
[04:07:52] wagnerrp: its probably technically covered under lgpl or something
[04:08:23] Beirdo: Hmm, wagnerrp I think if you didn't specify otherwise, they'd fall under MythTV's general GPL2.0+ license, no?
[04:08:41] ekristen: Beirdo: me too, I just find the boxee interface more appealing, my wife finds it easier to use as well, plus there is a lot more content support (but then again it does have a company behind it vs a strictly OS community)
[04:08:48] wagnerrp: there was some discussion about this a week or two ago
[04:09:11] wagnerrp: and the suggestion was that libraries for external access are best done under lgpl or public domain
[04:09:27] Beirdo: there is no such thing as public domain
[04:09:43] Beirdo: as that does NOT work anywhere but US/Canada/UK (perhaps)
[04:09:58] Beirdo: but yeah, LGPL would work well :)
[04:10:01] wagnerrp: well... WTFPL then... :)
[04:10:05] ekristen: MIT ;)

[04:10:37] wagnerrp: yeah, weve got a kitten grinder out back
[04:10:40] [R]: HAHA
[04:10:54] wagnerrp: purees them for hotdog meat
[04:11:02] clever: mmmmmmmmm
[04:11:24] [R]: i'm pretty sure the type of meat allowed in hotdogs is regulated and cat isn't one of the acceptable meats
[04:11:29] Beirdo: heh. remind me not to eat hot dogs at a Reds home game
[04:11:47] clever: [R]: enless you make and cook them all yourself and never pass it thru a regulated store
[04:11:56] Beirdo: wagnerrp: how the BLEEP did the Reds get into first in their division?! :)
[04:12:03] Beirdo: congrats :)
[04:12:04] clever: homemade kitten meat hotdogs!
[04:12:09] [R]: ROFL
[04:12:50] wagnerrp: Beirdo: you cover them in brown mustard and relish, theyre so delicious
[04:13:05] Beirdo: the Reds?
[04:13:06] Beirdo: hehe
[04:13:12] Beirdo: I'll trust you on that
[04:13:35] wagnerrp: dont jerk me around Beirdo! its a simple question! a baby could answer it! if you were a hot dog and you were starving, would you eat yourself?
[04:13:50] Beirdo: hehe, but of course

[05:49:35] rhollan: freetype install tries to remove a non-existant dir? Did it install that dir after?
[05:50:25] rhollan: doe you have to run ldconfig or something similar to reload the shared lib cache?
[05:50:31] Shadow__X: it does rm -f /freetype/internal/* then rmdir /internal
[05:50:44] Shadow__X: i am not sure
[05:50:48] rhollan: but does it end up putting stuff there?
[05:51:07] rhollan: on linux, if you add shared libraries, you generally have to reload the shared library cache with ldconfig

[05:55:35] Shadow__X: clever: any suggestions
[05:55:46] clever: cant think of anything else
[05:56:23] rhollan: install freetype as best you can and reboot? Hoping any shared lib cache gets loaded then? Just an idea.

[08:44:50] eoke: bjd: Cheers noted, does using the older firmware cause any other issues or limitations?
[08:45:43] bjd: Nup, works perfectly

[08:57:23] growler: probably the only useful bits are the hardware, and the last sentance which contains the fix for the nova-t 500 problems
[08:58:06] growler: the nova-t is really a USB controller and two of their USB tuners, stuck on a PCI card, hence the reference to USB disconnects

[09:14:18] justinh: eoke: a while ago I bought a USB dual tuner from Maplin for £25 which works very well. I don't use it in production though
[09:14:24] justinh: and I'm not sure if they still sell it
[09:17:59] eoke: justinh: Cheers for that though I'd be concerned that it won't be the exact same part they originally sold to you if that makes sense. As I'm new to MythTV I'm trying to keep the variables to a minimum.
[09:19:23] eoke: Any idea what kind of bandwidth is required between the backend and front end for standard and high def? I'm wondering if Wi-Fi will cut it or if I need to think about running LAN cables.

[09:25:38] growler: bjd: very, it's near silent, and thanks to the ION it's fine for HD playback
[09:27:02] growler: for recent kernels you need to build the IR drivers yourself rather than using their .deb, but that's not really a problem

[09:46:14] sid3windr: my socalled "gigabit" powerline gets about 20Mbit halfduplex through

[10:16:12] justinh: if you're happy with a lame piece of crap credit card size remote, use the remote that comes with most TV tuner cards :-)
[10:16:38] justinh: a lot of people like Windows MCE remotes. They work in linux & are good for mythtv
[10:16:47] Jay2k1 (Jay2k1!~J@85.183.203.242) has joined #mythtv-users
[10:17:22] justinh: some like Logitech Harmony remotes, but they don't come with a receiver so you've got to make sure you've got a receiver it'll work with
[10:18:36] drindt: justinh: tested various windows mce remotes and iam unsatisfacted with it. so i would try the harmony
[10:18:48] justinh: so 'best' comes down to whether or not you need it to work with other devices versus the number of buttons it has, versus whether it's supplied with a receiver and/or IR blaster
[10:19:07] justinh: what's wrong with the various mce remotes you've tried?
[10:20:02] justinh: IMHO most things people find 'wrong' with remotes can be fixed by tweaking LIRC
[10:20:27] justinh: although I'm not too happy about my harmony's quite slow repeat rate
[10:20:56] justinh: you can only tweak the button sending interval to 100msec
[10:21:28] justinh: and by default the interval is much greater than that
[10:22:20] drindt: the remote i have here is a techsolo, and the keys are double and such. the description on the keys doesnt fit my needs and such
[10:23:16] justinh: getting multiple presses for one button press is easily fixed by tweaking your lirc config
[10:23:55] justinh: BTW when I say 'MCE Remote' I mean Original Microsoft MCE Certified remote, not some OEM junk
[10:24:39] justinh: you know – the ones which actually have enough buttons to be useful, and they're labelled useful things like Guide, Menu, Info etc :)
[10:25:23] justinh: I think my Harmony 525 is okay – it certainly has enough logically named buttons
[10:25:39] justinh: the tricky part is making it work with the receiver you use
[10:25:58] justinh: though with mine that was easy – it's a home-made serial port receiver :)
[10:26:22] drindt: justinh: i found actually a kameleon they had a display on top with the keys http://www.conrad.de/ce/de/product/342073/ONE . . . ERNBEDIENUNG
[10:27:11] justinh: those OneForAll made remotes can be tricky to make work
[10:27:18] justinh: I've got a OFA-6 model too
[10:27:41] justinh: it was impossible to find a code for it with enough active buttons
[10:27:52] justinh: so I ended up reprogramming it with a JP1 cable
[10:28:03] justinh: and as for well named buttons... nope
[10:28:07] justinh: no INFO button
[10:28:12] justinh: no GUIDE button
[10:28:21] justinh: and the MENU button is right at the top
[10:28:26] drindt: i thought that i can build in new graphics
[10:28:38] drindt: for the buttons so that would be great
[10:28:44] justinh: LOL no
[10:28:56] justinh: those are just legends with lights behind them
[10:28:58] drindt: why? lol that would be perfect
[10:29:21] justinh: you wouldn't get that for under 50 Euro
[10:29:37] drindt: probably not
[10:29:50] justinh: nice if you could, but no
[10:30:10] justinh: nah it's just an EL strip underneath the key legends
[10:30:45] justinh: for that kind of money you can prolly find a Harmony 525
[10:32:24] drindt: justinh: ok, i will take a look later when i have more time, i just got money now for buying a slim dvd drive
[10:33:18] drindt: here is my myth box http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=190913& . . . l=9f43eb2172 if you want taking a look
[10:34:15] drindt: the box needs overall just 29W
[10:34:16] justinh: I don't do facebook anymore
[10:34:28] drindt: justinh: the album is public
[10:34:35] drindt: should
[10:35:43] justinh: I could just say looking at pics of other people's mythtv systems leaves me cold :)

[12:21:48] k-man: so build and install mythtv first, then make clean, make install the plugins?
[12:22:51] justinh: don't need to clean up generally – just depends what changes between revisions I think
[12:25:28] gbee: k-man: you only need to clean if there have been changes to the library API/ABI

[12:34:38] justinh: I liked J-rod's comment about it yesterday or so. He feels it's no coincidence its name rhymes with trash & crash ;-)
[12:36:05] justinh: anyway the plugin is unlikely to be mythstream since nobody appears to have updated it for at least a couple of mythtv versions

[15:56:31] ttist25: I got my no color from firewire thing straight (for anyone who was here yesterday thanks for the help)
[15:57:52] ttist25: now i'm playing with mythnetvision and I find that it's not working how I had envisioned it would – it looks like it's loading the <link url> instead of the <enclosure url> which, to me would make more sense
[15:58:21] stevieman: I've been trying to improve HD playback on my P4 system, recontly I changed out the cpu for a 3ghz chip (cost me $10) and added 512 megs of ram (now have a gig) HD playback is almost perfect, still some studdering and I was wonder if I should be using CPU++ or CPU — in the playback setup. I'm using Bob (2x) also.
[15:58:37] ttist25: anyone have any idea where I would go to try to change where mythnetvision looks for the content it loads from rss?

[16:01:09] sphery: ttist25: if it's a grabber provided by MythTV, it's probably a Terms of Service requirement that the video you're interested in seeing be played only inside a browser, so MNV opens a browser pointing to the page with the video. If it's a grabber you're creating for some new source, after verifying the ToS requirements, you can probably change things to work appropriately (though I don't know how--other than to direct you to the grabber ...
[16:01:15] sphery: ... documentation on the wiki)
[16:01:36] sphery: stevieman: CPU-anything playback profile groups are about the worst possible choice
[16:01:47] sphery: stevieman: Slim is a great choice
[16:02:05] sphery: stevieman: and if you want to customize, you should create a new custom profile group rather than edit one of the examples
[16:02:09] ttist25: ok – so just take a look at some of the python scripts for clues and check the wiki?
[16:02:13] gbee: sphery: I think ttist25 is asking where to configure which sources are used

[16:02:45] sphery: gbee: ah, thanks--that may be
[16:02:57] sphery: stevieman: http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Playback_profiles for info on editing/creating your own
[16:03:02] gbee: sphery: oh, just read further back and you might have been right to begin with
[16:03:14] stevieman: sphery: so I should make my own profile and only have one option in it something like <=0 > 0 Bob (2x)
[16:03:21] stevieman: sphery: oh thanks
[16:03:29] gbee: ttist25: so I'd look at the script if you want to change which url it uses
[16:03:37] sphery: stevieman: probably >= 0 , though :)
[16:03:44] RDV_Linux: ttist25: If you are talking about python grabbers then I can answer almost any of your questions. If you are referring to RSS feed links then they are parsed within the MythNetvision plugin itself.
[16:04:22] ** gbee defers to RDV_Linux since he knows less than nothing about MNV **
[16:04:34] stevieman: sphery: yah something like that, I was just pulling that off the top of m head. We had a power outage at home today and my myth box didn't come back up so I can't verify anything right now :)
[16:04:40] sphery: stevieman: having only one profile in a playback profile group isn't a requirement, though--and may not make sense. The only benefit to having a single entry is that it allows you to verify that you're using the one you think you're using (or, if it won't work for the current video) the fallback to default
[16:04:46] gbee: that would be me who knows nothing, in case that wasn't clear
[16:05:08] ttist25: I think I'm looking for how to modify the way the plugin parses the feed
[16:05:11] stevieman: sphery: either the power is out or my house blew up, I'm going with power outage
[16:05:12] sphery: gbee: and me who knows nothing, too :)
[16:05:34] RDV_Linux: ttist25: That is why I did not remark when you first posted your question.

[16:05:40] sphery: all I know is that MNV is some black magic that does amazing things in MythTV that I didn't expect to ever be possible
[16:05:43] stevieman: sphery: ok, good to know, I'm so close to getting HD playback on this machine
[16:05:49] ttist25: for instance all of the feeds I have looked at (from different publishers) use <link> to load a webpage with the video on it
[16:06:26] ttist25: wheras the <enclosure> tag has a property of url that holds the link to the actual media file
[16:06:54] ttist25: it looks like mythnetvision is using the <link> url
[16:06:56] sphery: stevieman: if it's about performance, I /highly/ recommend getting the right hardware for the job (i.e. ideally a sufficiently-powerful CPU and additionally, if desired, a VDPAU-capable GPU--though in a pinch, simply using a VDPAU-capable GPU with a toy processor, like Atom, will work)
[16:07:00] iamlindoro: ttist25: MNV doesn't do any direct playback of media files yet-- therefore the in-context web playback is what it will do when an item is selected
[16:07:31] iamlindoro: ttist25: In the future it shoudl become possible to play back media files more directly, but that it not presently possible, and is far more complicated than simply changing the parsing
[16:07:35] sphery: and there's one of the magicians of MNV
[16:07:52] RDV_Linux: ttist25: As I have written a few MNV grabbers I can say that different sources use different tags, and each grabber needs to do a fair amount of investigation in order to produce "Full browser screen autoplayback" links
[16:08:05] ttist25: ok – I messed with something called mythnettv (i think) that went out and grabbed new videos from a feed and dropped them in and they showed up in my recordings folder
[16:08:29] iamlindoro: If you want what you describe just now, you want mirobridge-- for now, at least
[16:08:29] sphery: ttist25: and saving the enclosure, for example to integrate into MythVideo, may not (most likely will not) be allowed by ToS
[16:08:51] iamlindoro: sphery: Well, for RSS it assuredly is, if the media file is exposed there
[16:08:54] ttist25: ok – got it
[16:08:57] stevieman: sphery: yah, I've got a budget right now that I have to deal with and since I don't have an HDTV and it's only 4 channels I'm dealing with I'd like to make this work and not spend money :) If I can't make it work then I'll find something more powerful but that means a whole computer, HD, vid, and a new install of Myth :(
[16:09:21] ttist25: that gives me something to start with – thanks a bunch for the info

[16:12:11] stevieman: sphery: No alas the best slot on this machine is AGP, my understanding is VDPAU cards or only PCI-E
[16:12:38] stevieman: sphery: that should read "are only PCI-E "

[19:12:11] Shadow__X: i suppose so but thats what moving foward is all about think about motors in cars now from back in the day sure its still internal combustion but years ago v8's had 175 hp sometimes 200 now you can have that from a puny 4cyl
[19:12:22] J-e-f-f-A: Shadow__X: I think the only thing missing from my Droid is a video output... Heck, even Composite video would be fine to be able to play videos back through my a/v system in the truck...
[19:13:19] J-e-f-f-A: Shadow__X: re: HP – Yeah, but that V8 at 175HP is gonna last a lot longer than that I4 putting out 175hp... And it'll have a lot more low-end torque too. ;-)
[19:13:44] J-e-f-f-A: Shadow__X: And those HP ratings in those days were often low-balled on purpose. ;-)
[19:13:55] Shadow__X: J-e-f-f-A: not necessarily

[20:17:23] wagnerrp: not sure how you would daisy chain multiple stbs

[20:18:02] smithzv: I am a little confused on how to set up Myth video sources. I am recording off Comcast with one analog tuner hooked up to a DTA also using the firewire interface on the digital STB. For scheduling purposes, I would like Myth to understand that channel 32 on the DTA is the same as 32 coming from the firewire, but channel 652 is only available for the firewire input. Should I have 2 video sources or 1?
[20:18:08] J-e-f-f-A: whoever: eh? it's not a scsi bus...
[20:18:28] wagnerrp: smithzv: two separate sources
[20:18:44] wagnerrp: each source should only contain those channels that the connected capture devices can access
[20:18:56] whoever: J-e-f-f-A: ya but thaught i't though it out there,
[20:19:03] wagnerrp: for scheduling purposes, it shouldnt make any difference
[20:19:13] wagnerrp: since you shouldnt be using 'record on this channel' rules anyway
[20:19:38] smithzv: wagnerrp: Hmmm... okay, I think I see
[20:19:45] Shadow__X: whoever: you need 2 video sources one for the analog one for the stb
[20:19:51] J-e-f-f-A: whoever: The capture card turns the analog input into a digital representation of it. If you've got a hardware encoder (such as an Hauppauge PVR-150), then it's encoded into MPEG, otherwise it's just raw video frames which the system then has to compress itself.
[20:20:55] J-e-f-f-A: whoever: You could get a PVR-500 card, which has to independent tuners/encoders – it's basically two PVR-150s on one card, occupying one PCI slot instead of two.

[20:22:42] wagnerrp: whoever: if you are recording analog cable with an analog tuner, then yes, you need two sources

[23:48:17] iamlindoro: if you are expecting some sort of album art download, then that isn't going to happen
[23:48:21] wagnerrp: mythmusic doesnt have any mechanism to pull album art does it?
[23:48:28] iamlindoro: not presently
[23:48:38] wagnerrp: i didnt think so
[23:49:08] iamlindoro: though it's just a compatible metadata script (and an hour or so's work adding the generic metadata classes) from having it
[23:49:17] iamlindoro: that said, I don't volunteer :)
[23:49:28] wagnerrp: heh
[23:49:41] wagnerrp: not sure if any patches would even be accepted at the moment
[23:49:51] Brik8: hmmm, I thought it did. maybe i saw it on xbmc, what about vizualizations? I get a ? in the middle of screen, have selected album art.
[23:50:00] wagnerrp: paul has been pretty quiet about the rewrite
[23:50:22] wagnerrp: who knows how much of the old codebase is still around

[23:54:05] wagnerrp: musicbrainz only seems to do metadata, not artwork
[23:55:09] Brik8: somone must have some ideas, there is an "albumart" vizualization in myth .23 I read it scans a folder for images.
[23:55:38] iamlindoro: That doesn't mean there's a place that aggregates the album art
