[00:00:16] Beirdo: myth_system is as of now... thread-safe (as far as I can tell), and should no longer be missing any SIGCHLD
[00:07:15] cocoa117 (cocoa117!~cocoa117@188-223-64-197.zone14.bethere.co.uk) has quit (Quit: Leaving)
[00:07:21] i_is_cat: i think both backends just had to be restarted or something because it seems to work now
[00:14:00] i_is_cat: yep i just tested it and both cards are functional thats awesome
[00:14:33] i_is_cat: how do i get the composite input to work with a wii? it is complaining about not having a preset channel..
[00:16:41] wagnerrp: you dont
[00:16:55] sphery: Beirdo: No SIGCHLD left behind!
[00:17:03] wagnerrp: mythtv is going to have several seconds of latency between capture and playback
[00:17:05] wagnerrp: even in 'livetv'
[00:17:13] wagnerrp: not something you want to use in an interactive session
[00:17:18] wagnerrp: and certainly not for a game console
[00:17:29] i_is_cat: i dont care about the latency, is it possible?
[00:17:44] wagnerrp: sure, but youll have to make a dummy channel to use for that input
[00:18:01] i_is_cat: is there some guide on how to setup a dummy channel like you say?
[00:18:11] wagnerrp: not really
[00:18:21] wagnerrp: youre in undocumented territory there
[00:19:03] i_is_cat: would you mind helping me out? :) its something ive been wanting to do for a long time
[00:19:08] Beirdo: sphery: yeah, something like that :)
[00:19:41] Beirdo: and I have enough debug logging in there that if it acts retarded, I should be able to help from the logs
[00:19:41] wagnerrp: go into the channel editor, and add a channel for that dummy source
[00:20:08] sphery: wow, someone was busy with the commits
[00:20:10] Beirdo: now I wait for a clean build to finish so I can restart the backend as well
[00:20:28] ** sphery thinks it's now dinner time **
[00:20:34] wagnerrp: sphery: but hes so fast, only 2 minutes for all 15 of em
[00:20:45] Beirdo: hehe
[00:21:16] Beirdo: 23 to go to hit 26000
[00:21:25] Beirdo: told ya we'd make it, didn't I? :)
[00:21:31] wagnerrp: ive got one for you right here
[00:21:36] wagnerrp: and another on the way

[00:25:55] sphery: wagnerrp: wow, that is fast
[00:26:25] sphery: only a month ago, my system would have taken 1/5 that time to just make a single connection
[00:27:53] sphery: I think I might need an iron pill... My RF remote is working well today.
[00:28:10] Beirdo: here, eat this re-bar
[00:28:18] sphery: num, num
[00:28:58] Beirdo: one other thing that's annoying me.
[00:29:09] wagnerrp: airline food
[00:29:13] Beirdo: the previews from 1080i with the green bar on the bottom
[00:29:19] wagnerrp: i mean, why is it so bad?
[00:29:25] i_is_cat: on the channel options – video4linux section, the first setting; frequency or channel. any recommendations?
[00:29:29] Beirdo: playback isn't showing it, but previews do
[00:29:52] Beirdo: wagnerrp: you try cooking for thousands of people at a time and have the food not suck :)
[00:30:41] Beirdo: they should just put BBQs on every plane
[00:30:50] wagnerrp: oof, seems my png library got updated by something
[00:31:28] Beirdo: png! right off the head
[00:31:30] sphery: perhaps because of the major security hole?
[00:31:57] Beirdo: so when are they going to upgrade Paris Hilton?

[00:32:43] sphery: http://www.libpng.org/pub/png/libpng.html has a nice mention of the security hole
[00:33:06] Beirdo: sorry, I'll stop there in the name of keeping the channel somewhat family friendly, shall we say?
[00:33:28] wagnerrp: im only talking about gardening implements, what are you talking about?

[00:34:22] wagnerrp: a bit late... its like 8:30
[00:35:46] Beirdo: I got 25min
[00:35:49] Pluribus: new FFMPEG works great. Went though all my videos and they seemed correct to me :-) no more libfaad2 for me :-)

[00:41:47] Beirdo: heh
[00:42:16] Pluribus: Havent touched BSD since 386BSD
[00:42:28] Beirdo: glad you got it working :)
[00:42:45] Beirdo: I actually would care more about FreeBSD than Windows, personally
[00:42:59] jst: I built (twice) and downloaded a precompiled version of the Windows client and I'm getting the following error: "Protocol version mismatch (frontend=23056,backend=56)" ... Any ideas?
[00:43:11] wagnerrp: you have an old backend
[00:43:16] wagnerrp: upgrade to 0.23.1
[00:43:24] Pluribus: Beirdo, Amen to that :-)
[00:43:28] jst: I'm using mythbuntu-repos... shouldn't that take care of it? :)
[00:43:59] jst: Ahh, 0.23.1.
[00:44:01] jst: Nevermind. :)
[00:44:03] jst: Thanks, wagnerrp.
[00:44:23] jya (jya!~avenardj@gw2.hydrix.com) has joined #mythtv-users
[00:45:52] Pluribus: Ok, r25977 built lets see if it works :-)
[00:46:39] janneg: wagnerrp: do you have binutils installed into /usr/local/bin?
[00:46:51] wagnerrp: yes
[00:47:24] janneg: ok, different version than /usr/bin I presume
[00:48:17] wagnerrp: yeah
[00:48:35] wagnerrp: i installed that because i was having problems compiling
[00:48:36] janneg: COMPILER_PATH let's gcc search there for the programs it calls, see http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/Environment-Variables.html
[00:48:47] wagnerrp: but i dont remember if that was for the int64 stuff
[00:48:52] wagnerrp: or the assembler stuff
[00:49:05] janneg: no the assembler error in vp5.c
[00:49:28] wagnerrp: right, im saying i was having compile issues prior to the assembler issues
[00:49:48] wagnerrp: i installed binutils to try to fix compile issues
[00:49:52] wagnerrp: but i dont rememebr which set of compile issues
[00:50:41] Beirdo: janneg: nice work on the mucho cleanup there :)
[00:51:07] pizzledizzle (pizzledizzle!~pizdets@pool-96-250-215-244.nycmny.fios.verizon.net) has joined #mythtv-users
[00:51:10] janneg: I was only aware of the assembler issues and LONG_LONG_MIN
[00:51:22] wagnerrp: yeah, those were the two issues
[00:51:28] Beirdo: hmmm.
[00:51:40] Beirdo: seems External Tuning is not using myth_system :)
[00:57:30] wagnerrp: janneg: it fails assembly with the built in utilities
[00:57:48] wagnerrp: i need the tools in binutils, and that environmental variable to tell the compiler to use them
[01:00:04] janneg: wagnerrp: we were wondering why setting COMPILER_PATH was fixing the assembler issues earlier today. I wasn't aware that you had newer binutils in /usr/local
[01:00:22] wagnerrp: yeah, i think that was one of the first things you told me to try
[01:00:29] wagnerrp: someone told me to try it
[01:01:18] Beirdo: Hmmm.
[01:01:33] Beirdo: I guess I should extend myth_system to include a timeout...

[01:57:47] Beirdo: gotta make sure the timeouts work
[02:04:27] Beirdo: haHA
[02:04:42] Beirdo: I think one of my changes may even fix the hangng previewgen issue

[03:05:55] nightwalk: Can anyone point me to a more mythtv-friendly case? The ones I found have no place for an ir reciever :/
[03:06:31] [R]: i think i'm jjust gonna cut a hole in mine
[03:06:32] nightwalk: This is the best I've found so far: http://www.newegg.com/Product/ImageGallery.as . . . se%20with%20
[03:06:44] Shadow__X: thats what i call a link
[03:06:45] [R]: i was gonna replace the "on" led with it... but i dunno if i really like that
[03:07:36] nightwalk: Perils of dumping the description as GET data :)
[03:08:33] nightwalk: I thought about that, too. Don't think it'd work too well replacing the on button, and I wouldn't be able to tell whether the unit was off or on besides.
[03:09:00] [R]: i thought about the reset button
[03:09:05] [R]: cuz i have reset which is very small and circular
[03:09:30] [R]: http://www.antec.com/Believe_it/product.php?id=MzA=
[03:09:36] [R]: that's what i have... they have some nice cases i think
[03:09:38] nightwalk: Only way I could see carving up the case working is if I could get my hands on a piece of darkened plexiglass or something
[03:09:59] nightwalk: Antec is ungodly expensive (and for no reason), though
[03:10:28] [R]: whats "expensive"?
[03:11:14] nightwalk: > $50, for any case that lacks any extra killer features
[03:11:35] [R]: oh
[03:12:11] Shadow__X: [R]: how much was that case around 100 bucks?
[03:12:35] [R]: i got it on sale at frys
[03:12:39] [R]: like 40 or 50
[03:12:44] [R]: but that was like 3 years ago
[03:12:49] Shadow__X: nice and oh ok
[03:13:01] Shadow__X: i believe frys is the same as microcenter where i live
[03:13:05] Shadow__X: if i am not mistaken
[03:13:41] Shadow__X: their pricing is weird more than half the time the prices on objects are cheaper then their sticker price
[03:13:54] [R]: maybe similar
[03:13:56] [R]: but its not the same
[03:14:33] nightwalk: So, no real "mythtv" cases out there, then? Just homebrewed hacks?
[03:14:51] [R]: theres some pretty nice ones people talk about on the ml
[03:14:57] [R]: but they're probably too expensive for you
[03:15:01] [R]: if 50 is your upper limit
[03:15:23] nightwalk: 50 is my upper limit for cases that don't do anything special. Not my upper limit, period.
[03:15:26] wagnerrp: nightwalk: any decent case is going to be > $50
[03:15:33] wagnerrp: thats not the limit for 'killer features'
[03:15:47] wagnerrp: like it or not, you get what you pay for
[03:15:54] Shadow__X: i fully agree
[03:16:12] nightwalk: Well, when all I'm asking for is a crafted piece of metal with a power supply, I don't think the bar is set too high :)

[03:17:00] Shadow__X: if you dont want it to fall in on yourself or break if you sneeze around it then at times you are
[03:17:21] wagnerrp: any decent power supply is going to be > $50 on its own
[03:18:09] nightwalk: I've had no problem with the $30-$40 power supplies.
[03:18:25] Shadow__X: that you know of
[03:18:36] nightwalk: More expensive ones go out at the same rate, in my experience. Only difference is, when the more expensive ones go out, you're out more money
[03:18:59] wagnerrp: cheaper ones are very noisy
[03:19:22] wagnerrp: if you want to run high end parts, or overclock, or undervolt, or use a lot of hard drives, or do anything demanding
[03:19:29] wagnerrp: a cheap power supply will choke
[03:19:40] nightwalk: Well, that's why you have to know a bit about the physics of the fan. Just make sure you get one that uses a big fan, and very little noise :)
[03:19:42] wagnerrp: i mean noisy voltage, not noise
[03:20:02] wagnerrp: electronic, not acoustic
[03:20:07] [R]: but you just get that super duper sata cable... and then noise isn't a problem for your hard drives
[03:20:07] [R]: :)
[03:20:27] sphery: 80 PLUS ftw!
[03:20:27] Shadow__X: i love how stable the rails are on cheap psu's
[03:20:36] nightwalk: My typical system runs no more than 4 drives, and has no better than a nvidia 9500GT in it. Even a measly 300W power supply can keep up, but I use a 400W generally
[03:21:20] nightwalk: Now, if we were talking servers here, I'd agree...but we're not
[03:21:53] wagnerrp: sure we are, were talking machines that are expected to run for years without fail
[03:21:57] Shadow__X: so what do you think you are paying for when you get a better psu? better paint? stronger metal?
[03:22:05] nightwalk: better caps
[03:22:21] nightwalk: The japanese caps rather than the crappy chinese ones, for one thing
[03:22:23] sphery: don't want to pop a cap in your PSU

[03:26:33] nightwalk: Hmm...maybe I could get a case that has front-side usb ports without a cover. That way, I could unfasten the usb port, and attach my usb ir dongle in between.
[03:26:53] nightwalk: Might look like less of a hack-job...

[03:30:12] nightwalk: Finding a case like that seems to be the trick, though. All of the ones I'm seeing that don't bother with the port covers are short HTPC cases. Wouldn't leave enough room for a full size expansion card, and a AMD stock cooler might not fit :/

[03:36:05] wagnerrp: what are we supposed to be thinking about?
[03:36:06] dserban_: hmm, I guess my question is this. Because contribuited scripts are in the wiki, and since anyone can edit the wiki... There's no real reasoning for security is there?  :P
[03:36:13] nightwalk: You only want an Acer if you enjoy pain
[03:36:43] ahhughes_: nightwalk, is that just an opinion or some kinda factual reason why acer is bad?
[03:36:50] nightwalk: Acers break way, way more frequently than other types of laptops. They use the cheapest crap they can find, and it shows
[03:37:14] ahhughes_: but that means?
[03:37:16] dserban_: Acer's like K-Mart, they want to go into bankruptcy, but the budget/welfare consumers just won't let them.
[03:37:41] ahhughes_: poorpers
[03:37:41] nightwalk: Oh, there was a link that came up in one channel or the other in the past couple weeks. Apparently, they did a poll and acer came up short. Of course, I already knew that. My shop likes to cheap out, and Acer is the cheapest
[03:38:04] ahhughes_: I like cheap too, this is only for my HTPC box
[03:38:24] dserban_: ahhughes_, you can get away with a 300 box for your htpc box.
[03:38:25] nightwalk: Do you also like 'broken'? Because that's what it'll be before long
[03:38:56] nightwalk: Get a cheap hp if you insist on using a laptop for a htpc
[03:39:00] dserban_: so no one has any "feedback" on my security quip? Myth doesn't care?

[03:40:25] wagnerrp: plus, weve got enough devs checking over wiki changes daily

[03:41:53] ahhughes_: so to summarize this advice... "acer has poor build quality and uses cheap parts – but it would run myth (at least for a while) ok"
[03:42:04] dserban_: ahhughes_, correct
[03:42:10] wagnerrp: rather expensive to run myth on

[03:43:08] ahhughes_: $50 case, and earplug's too?
[03:43:31] nightwalk: At least as far as laptops are concerned. Their monitors don't seem to be too bad.
[03:43:39] ahhughes_: well $800 AU is kinda my budget.
[03:43:46] dserban_: Meh, you don't know how to shop
[03:43:54] dserban_: Oooohh! You're aussie, rough

[16:34:24] stuartm: skd5aner: I got a genuine original MCE remote/receiver off ebay just a couple of weeks ago
[16:34:39] stuartm: from Singapore, cost £12 or something
[16:36:36] stuartm: http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/MCE_Remote#Media_Center_Remotes < number 3, proper backlight etc
[16:37:15] wagnerrp: backlight?
[16:37:47] wagnerrp: heh... mine doesnt even show up in the list
[16:39:21] iamlindoro: yay, 26000 is mine
[16:42:10] stuartm: wagnerrp: the first three shown there were manufactured for and branded as Microsoft by Philips, but I think they've stopped selling them in many markets and there are now far more third party 'mce' compatible remotes/receivers around

[16:43:24] stuartm: I happen to really like the original, it's well balanced, just the right number of buttons, comfortable and the backlight is a nice touch
[16:44:07] wagnerrp: looks like this one... http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16880121003
[16:45:02] wagnerrp: different company, same exact model number
[16:45:11] stuartm: but I can only get it now by buying from places like Singapore where they are being sold without the MS branding, but are otherwise identical (same factory, different channel)

[16:47:52] Nidhoegger: hi, ive got a little problem. ive update today to the gentoo stable kernel 2.6.35-r4 and thus had to update to lirc 0.8.7 (0.8.6 doesnt work with that kernel).
[16:47:54] justinh: but then I figured – how hard is it for somebody like me to gut the casing of a receiver & mount a PCB in a box myself? ;)
[16:47:58] wagnerrp: yeah, i cant reach everything without repositioning
[16:48:20] Nidhoegger: irw says the keys are correct, but instead of the /dev/lircd i got /dev/lirc0 only, but when i set this in the frontend, the remote wont work
[16:48:24] justinh: stuartm: that's one of the problems I have with my harmony 515
[16:48:28] stuartm: justinh: yep, I very nearly did that

[16:49:11] Nidhoegger: on x86 it is

[16:49:49] wagnerrp: i dont expect people to still be running 32-bit

[16:50:16] ** wagnerrp will stop being needlessly troublesome **
[16:50:22] Nidhoegger: the problem is that i dont get mythtv working with lirc anymore
[16:50:30] justinh: come to think.. I've not moved to 64-bit yet lol
[16:50:43] wagnerrp: isnt lirc0 supposed to be a specific device
[16:50:53] wagnerrp: and lircd pull from all those devices, and multiplex it out?
[16:50:57] justinh: Nidhoegger: you know mythfrontend needs to be restarted to pick up any change in lirc ?
[16:50:58] wagnerrp: meaning you havent actually run lircd
[16:51:14] Nidhoegger: i thought so too, but lircd doenst exist anymore...and lircd is definitivley started
[16:51:16] justinh: surely if lircd wasn't running irw wouldn't work

[16:52:19] Nidhoegger: yes
[16:52:25] wagnerrp: 'ps' and make sure it actually is running
[16:52:35] wagnerrp: that warning just means the init scripts think its running
[16:52:42] wagnerrp: if it has crashed in the background
[16:52:46] justinh: and the button defs within it actually agree with what irw outputs and is in lircd.conf?

[16:52:48] Nidhoegger: ps says its running
[16:53:03] Nidhoegger: yes it does justinh
[16:53:58] Nidhoegger: i think its just that lirc cant listen on /dev/lircd, so i need to figure out why its missing after the update
[16:54:04] Nidhoegger: *lirc=mythtv

[17:08:01] Nidhoegger: in mkv files (720p) i get pixel artifacts, in ogm i get stuttering playback

[18:22:30] Beirdo: the mceusb part was pretty dead simple once the driver supported it.
[18:22:35] tgm4883: wagnerrp, or if possible, could it be updated in -fixes
[18:22:47] Beirdo: I use j-rod's kernel tree, so it worked fine :)
[18:23:14] wagnerrp: tgm4883: best to ask sphery about that
[18:23:15] Beirdo: I think his stuff is going into the main kernel stream soon, but not sure when that is
[18:23:21] skd5aner: Beirdo: yea, I just googled that model number and "mceusb" – looks like it works out of the box for RX, but TX might be a different story
[18:23:23] skd5aner: GP-IR02BK
[18:23:23] tgm4883: wagnerrp, well do, thanks
[18:23:43] Beirdo: tx works with the module I'm using
[18:23:45] tgm4883: sphery, would it be possible to get the updated mythconverg_restore.pl into -fixes
[18:23:51] Beirdo: i have 2 emitters hooked to it
[18:25:03] skd5aner: Beirdo: cool, I likely will not need those, but good to know you've seen some success
[18:25:21] skd5aner: maybe I'll buy it – I feel a lot more comfortable now knowing someone got it to work
[18:25:26] Beirdo: the driver on lirc.org wasn't new enough, I think
[18:25:36] Beirdo: but it does work given the right drivers :)
[18:25:37] skd5aner: hmmm
[18:27:47] Beirdo: apparently, should be in current fedora kernels and in lirc cvs
[18:28:09] Beirdo: and should be in vanilla for 2.6.36
[18:28:11] sphery: tgm4883: main reason I didn't put it in -fixes is because the --drop_database and --create_database stuff is a new feature, not a fix, really
[18:28:41] tgm4883: ah
[18:28:56] Beirdo: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811996004
[18:28:58] Beirdo: hmmmm
[18:29:01] Beirdo: tempting :)
[18:29:04] tgm4883: sphery, makes sense, same reason i'm asking, cause we don't want to do that downstream
[18:29:12] tgm4883: sphery, thanks for the info, we'll figure it out
[18:29:25] justinh: heh how did I know who was asking about videoplus stuff before even looking – other than the fact he's asked before
[18:29:29] sphery: I might be convinced to break our feature/fix rule (or at least interpret it /very/ liberally), but I'll have to think about it a bit (and see what all changed since 0.23)
[18:30:55] tgm4883: sphery, reason is i've got a MCC plugin for backup/restore, so without drop/create db functionality, i have to do that another way for a single release until 0.24
[18:31:40] sphery: ah, yeah, you guys will be using 0.23.1 (or 0.23-fixes) for 10.10, right?
[18:31:50] tgm4883: yep
[18:31:56] sphery: I'll go ahead and put the trunk version into -fixes, then
[18:32:05] tgm4883: awesome, thanks!
[18:32:27] sphery: yeah, thanks for the heads up--I had forgotten about the plan for 10.10, and I'd /much/ rather have the newer one in 10.10
[18:32:52] Beirdo: Captain_Murdoch: can we get themes moved into a SG?
[18:32:59] justinh: you know what'd be really awesome if mythtv had? Piano-style keys on the top of the case for using features like record, play, fast forward, rewind etc
[18:33:12] Beirdo: with local caching from that? or does that even make sense?
[18:33:13] justinh: and the ability to record on VHS tapes. I still have loads of them
[18:33:38] sphery: "Fix database creation from the restore script. Using mc.sql is broken because of database permission issues. This moves the trunk version of mythconverg_restore.pl to 0.23-fixes."  :) Works for me
[18:34:31] Captain_Murdoch: Beirdo, I worked on that a while back, having the ability to have a theme only installed on the MBE and served up to FE's via myth:// requests. I have a patch which allows that, but it is/was a little slower than local. it might be better with my recent RemoteFile mod. I'll have to test again sometime. thought in that case was FE tells mbe to download a theme and MBE installs locally in ~/.mythtv/themes/blah and then any
[18:34:31] Captain_Murdoch: FE can use that theme immediately
[18:35:09] Captain_Murdoch: Beirdo, I have a built-in 'Themes' SG which pointed at ~/.mythtv/themes (on Linux and CONFROOT/themes elsewhere)

[18:36:23] skd5aner: Beirdo: any idea what the difference is between http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16880121002 and http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000W5GK5C/ref=oss_product&n bsp;?
[18:36:46] Beirdo: OK. The issue being that some themes get rather large and may eventually overfill /home on some boxes
[18:37:42] kormoc: Beirdo, oh come on. if they don't have a hundred megs for /home, it's a crap setup
[18:38:05] Beirdo: skd5aner: looks about the same
[18:38:23] Beirdo: kormoc: 100M? I think they are getting bigger than that bit by bit :)
[18:38:24] justinh: even a 'large' theme doesn't amount to *that* much space yet sheesh

[18:38:48] justinh: maybe if they cache loads of themes at different resolutions.. but even then it should still be a drop in the ocean
[18:38:54] sphery: that's with all themes in mythtv and myththemes installed
[18:39:08] justinh: since blootube-wide went west, maybe ;)
[18:39:14] kormoc: justinh, themecache is hardcoded to 2 now iirc
[18:39:15] Beirdo: umm
[18:39:18] skd5aner: hmmm, I do have an HD-PVR, I suppose I could use that for IR RX, but will it take anything besides the bundeled remote?
[18:39:19] sphery: yeah, after the old ones were removed
[18:39:24] kormoc: so it's maxed at 2x(max theme size)
[18:39:28] [R]: skd5aner: no
[18:39:30] Beirdo: Arclight itself is 37MB
[18:39:35] Captain_Murdoch: Beirdo, who doesn't have a Gig of storage? that's a lot of themes, even Arclight size themes. :)
[18:39:44] Beirdo: yeah, I guess
[18:39:49] iamlindoro: Beirdo: Huh? 9.5 M here
[18:39:53] Beirdo: skd5aner: I'd suggest against that
[18:39:58] iamlindoro: 9.5M ./Arclight
[18:39:58] ** Captain_Murdoch notices that all comments inbetween were along the same line. **
[18:40:03] skd5aner: [R]: ok, I figured that might be the answer given I used to use the old i2c IR receiver with my PVR-250 in the day
[18:40:16] Beirdo: I'm looking at ~/.mythtv/themecache/Arclight.1920.1080
[18:40:19] Captain_Murdoch: iamlindoro, it's all his pr0n backgrounds. ;)
[18:40:23] Beirdo: 37204 Arclight.1920.1080
[18:40:27] iamlindoro: Beirdo: That's themecache, not the theme
[18:40:34] iamlindoro: ie, all your fanart, coverart, etc.
[18:40:40] Beirdo: aaaahhh
[18:40:42] iamlindoro: And that wouldn't go in what Captain_Murdoch is talking about
[18:40:43] Beirdo: OK
[18:40:45] Captain_Murdoch: themecache will always be local, so the theme is a drop in the bucket
[18:40:48] Beirdo: no it wouldn't
[18:40:55] Beirdo: never mind then
[18:41:05] justinh: so anyway, suffer little user who only allocates 2k to /home :)
[18:41:06] Beirdo: doesn't make sense the way I was thinking :)
[18:41:56] Captain_Murdoch: that's kinda why I ditched the patch and took it out of my tree. it was noticably slower for no big benefit. with the MBE's QNetworkDiskCache used by the download manager, you can download the same theme on multiple frontends without hitting the web site multiple times since the theme package file will be in the MBE's QNetworkDiskCache (which defaults to 50MB max size)
[18:42:02] btwe_afk is now known as btwe
[18:42:22] Beirdo: yeah, it's already kinda covered with the cache anyways

[18:43:35] Captain_Murdoch: yeah, that actually sped things up. once you viewed it once it was faster the second time, but we still had to go back to the MBE to check to see if the file was modified, so it was better just to leave it local and have each FE have his own copy.
[18:43:40] Beirdo: skd5aner: get professional installation of the remote from newegg... for #250?
[18:43:44] Beirdo: $250 rather

[18:45:06] wagnerrp: define 'soon'
[18:45:18] trumee: i am planning to upgrade from 0.22 and was wondering whether to go with 0.23.1 or wait for 0.24
[18:45:18] skd5aner: within the hour!
[18:45:35] trumee: wagnerrp: next 3 weeks
[18:45:46] wagnerrp: no
[18:46:06] trumee: wagnerrp: ok, i will go with 0.23.1 then
[18:47:21] trumee: strange, there is no mythgame video on youtube. is mythgame in development?
[18:47:57] wagnerrp: it continues to get patches, yes
[18:47:58] trumee: although, i have never seen an installation of one. i suppose mythgame is a frontend to mame?
[18:48:56] trumee: if it were possible to play with PS3 sixaxis controller with mythgame it will be awesome, anybody done that?
[18:49:35] justinh: strange, there don't seem to be any *good* mythtv videos on youtube at all
[18:49:47] [R]: trumee: mythgame is a launcher for other emulators... it doesn't do antyhing
[18:50:00] Beirdo: trumee: so youtube is the way to know if something's in development? Strange.
[18:50:00] [R]: trumee: so the emulators you use are the ones that need to support your hardware
[18:50:04] trumee: [R]: thanks. going to try it out
[18:50:48] justinh: way too many things shot on somebody's crappy camera phone, handheld.. too fuzzy to make much out

[18:56:09] wagnerrp: skd5aner: i have a VDPAU capable card that does component video
[18:56:25] skd5aner: wagnerrp: 8xxx series?
[18:56:32] justinh: stuartm: at one point one of the vids did have some rather racey programme titles in it IIRC ;)
[18:56:32] wagnerrp: yeah
[18:56:37] skd5aner: 8600?
[18:57:04] Gibby: I think today is christmas, just got 5 packages in the mail, hopefully some tuner cards
[18:57:05] wagnerrp: 4
[18:57:18] skd5aner: I want a card that's capable of handling whatever's thown at it, I know in the 8000 series, that was basically the 8600, can the 8400 do 2x advanced?
[18:57:44] [R]: skd5aner: the wiki lists what can d owhat
[18:58:01] kormoc: skd5aner, my 9400 can't do 2x advanced
[18:58:05] skd5aner: [R]: right, which is what I'm basing that off of (from memory)
[18:58:23] skd5aner: kormoc: I've actually got the GT240 in my frontend now, it works beautifully :)
[18:58:34] skd5aner: via VGA out
[18:58:48] tgm4883: Is there a page somewhere with the different versions of db schema that are in different mythtv versions?
[18:58:51] stuartm: justinh: if it was merely packaging then I'd expect that the increase in RMAs would have pretty quickly caused them to review the packaging/handling :) But yeah, it may have a contributory effect here, the drive was OEM so just a bit of bubble wrap and an oversized box
[18:59:17] skd5aner: wagnerrp: what deinterlacer do you run with the 8400? Does it work well enough for you?
[18:59:26] kormoc: tgm4883, unlikely
[18:59:32] wagnerrp: temporal 1x i think
[18:59:54] tgm4883: kormoc, ok. Does DB schema usually change within a given release (0.23.1)?
[18:59:55] stuartm: decided to put in an RMA request just to see what they say, should work out cheaper than buying another drive considering the prices have crept back up a little since
[19:00:40] kormoc: tgm4883, point releases can bump it, yes
[19:00:43] justinh: stuartm: don't think I've ever bought a hard drive or optical drive mail order
[19:00:45] Beirdo: tgm4883: it shouldn't. as a policy, if we need a db schema change, we should be doing a point release
[19:01:12] Beirdo: so 0.23.1 should have a stable db schema, and if we need to change it in the 0.23 stream, we'd put out 0.23.2
[19:01:14] justinh: mail order is never that much cheaper than the local sheds round here for a lot of things, by the time you factor in delivery time & costs
[19:01:15] tgm4883: reason I ask is I have a user that says after an update they are getting 'Error: MythTV database has newer TV schema (1263) than expected (1254)."
[19:01:28] Beirdo: tgm4883: then they are using trunk
[19:01:29] tgm4883: thought they might have enabled trunk somewhere but wanted to verify

[20:11:05] i_is_cat: no... the wii recording through a composite input not working as a frontend, that would be silly
[20:11:15] i_is_cat: then i most likely wouldnt be able to play games :(
[20:11:48] iamlindoro: Wii doesn't have any inputs
[20:11:54] iamlindoro: and if it were recording, that wouldn't be a frontend
[20:12:15] iamlindoro: They're asking if you're running a frontend on it, not a backend-- basically, they are asking you to explain yourself
[20:13:02] i_is_cat: ok, mis-worded, the wii is being recorded by mythtv from a pvr150's composite input on a slave backend
[20:13:10] sid3windr: that's how I read it too :)
[20:13:25] sid3windr: but you can't play games on myth live tv

[20:13:56] i_is_cat: it sure is.. thats why i have it split between the tv and the pvr150
[20:17:27] justinh: bet the picture sucks
[20:17:37] justinh: you can't split video signals with a Y-cable
[20:17:42] i_is_cat: actually its quite decent
[20:17:51] justinh: or rather, you can but it'll end up double terminated & suck
[20:18:11] i_is_cat: it is noticeably degraded, but not to the point where it causes any issues for me whatsoever
[20:18:39] justinh: meh. your funeral
[20:18:55] i_is_cat: lol funeral?
[20:19:04] justinh: I mean it's your loss
[20:19:34] justinh: double terminating is generally a great way to really mess up video
[20:19:34] i_is_cat: the loss really only appears when mythtv is actually recording it.. if myth isnt using that input, the quality is normal
[20:20:06] justinh: bah, the input would be terminated no matter what I'd have thought
[20:20:18] justinh: anywaz if you happy.. so be it
[20:20:20] i_is_cat: i dont know much about that sort of thing, i just know what i see..

[20:50:17] Beirdo: Well, I was gonna do it, but it's his anyways, so he's welcome to it :)
[20:51:11] iamlindoro: Don't have srong feelings one way or another-- MythCenter should be deleted
[20:51:14] iamlindoro: er strong
[20:51:19] Beirdo: why?
[20:51:23] Beirdo: it's a valid theme
[20:51:37] Beirdo: maybe someone out there likes it ;)
[20:51:40] iamlindoro: No, it's not-- it's a wreck that is not even half-ported to MythUI and
[20:51:47] iamlindoro: mostly falls abck to default
[20:51:54] iamlindoro: at the very least it has no business in core
[20:52:13] Beirdo: well, yeah, much of it is default, that's true. P)
[20:52:15] Beirdo: :)
[20:52:35] Beirdo: parts of metallurgy (esp. setup) may still need work too
[20:52:53] iamlindoro: metallurgy is even less ported than MythCenter
[20:52:59] Beirdo: the mythweather setup has been fixed, but I'm sure a few others need tweaking too
[20:53:10] Beirdo: well, the weather part is ported :0
[20:53:11] Beirdo: hehe
[20:53:29] Beirdo: and really, it's not all that hard to do
[20:53:35] Beirdo: just time consuming

[20:54:34] iamlindoro: The lack of enough MythUI themes leaves people with the impression that the MythUI port was a whole lot of nothing much
[20:54:45] iamlindoro: And porting non-MythUI themes forward just perpetuates that belief
[20:54:56] Beirdo: the first part, I can believe
[20:55:06] Beirdo: second part... might be stretching it a bit
[20:55:17] Beirdo: but we need people to make themes :)
[20:55:24] iamlindoro: Beirdo: I'm sorry, but you weren't exactly around in the direct aftermath of the MythUI port, and dealing daily with all the underwhelmed abuse
[20:55:40] Beirdo: the problem is, not many of us are graphically inclined.
[20:55:40] iamlindoro: And there was plenty of it
[20:55:57] Beirdo: yeah, well, that was what, over a year ago?
[20:56:09] iamlindoro: So?
[20:56:10] Beirdo: at some point, we should move forward :)
[20:56:13] iamlindoro: Exactly
[20:56:16] iamlindoro: we *should* move forward
[20:56:18] iamlindoro: not back
[20:56:47] Beirdo: and if someone wants to retrofit the old themes to work properly now, we don't lose much in the process, although granted, the themes can be a lot nicer now
[20:57:01] kormoc: the point is no one wants to retrofit the old themes
[20:57:02] Beirdo: some people actually may WANT stripped-down themes though
[20:57:12] Beirdo: yeah.
[20:57:21] kormoc: which is why they should just get deleted

[20:58:12] Beirdo: and we can track how many people are using it
[20:58:14] kormoc: ...
[20:58:28] Beirdo: if nobody's using it, deletion is not an issue
[20:58:35] kormoc: this is the part of OSS when there's no-one who wants to work on it
[20:58:42] Beirdo: heh
[20:58:47] kormoc: so you have to force someone else to do it or let it die
[20:59:11] Beirdo: kormoc: yeah, but if we find that a significant number of people want... say metallurgy... one of us may step up to revitalize it
[20:59:33] iamlindoro: None of us *cares* what people want

[21:05:40] skd5aner: yea, those were the three I was thinking of, actually – terra, arclight, graphite and then the 4'th I added was childish
[21:05:48] iamlindoro: Graphite missing a couple screens, Terra missing a fair number
[21:05:48] sphery: i.e. no one is making new themes becaues they can just use MythGarbage

[21:07:24] skd5aner: I just throw that out there because, while I think the few "complete" themes are out there, people still would like more choice – I tend to think that people have used some of these themes for years and are very comfortable with them...
[21:07:42] skd5aner: granted, they're just "default" screens that have been "skinned" and shouldn't remain that way
[21:08:10] jams: for whatever reason people stick with the linhes theme, but it's not my cup of tea thats for sure
[21:08:16] iamlindoro: jams: There's a linhes theme? Is it derived from something or a full MythUI theme?
[21:08:22] skd5aner: but I've seen several of the devs argue over the past 6 months if mythcenter should be nuked or maintained with several on either side of that argument
[21:08:24] iamlindoro: If so, pics?

[21:11:08] skd5aner: never saw glass, heard of it though, was it actually distributed in /themes or myththemes?
[21:11:10] sphery: and now we're choosing one of the worst ones to keep maintaining rather than actually using some of those
[21:11:18] sphery: glass wasn't

[21:12:59] sybolt (sybolt!~sybolt@sybolt.xs4all.nl) has quit (Ping timeout: 276 seconds)
[21:13:21] skd5aner: hey, my opinions may not really care much weight since I too am not stepping up to the plate to convert and/or maintain them... but I would think that eliminating them would leave a very small group of usable themes remaining – themes people could chose today if they wanted to
[21:13:25] sphery: oh, and blootubelite-wide, too (and there was a wide of blootube and PG)
[21:13:29] trumee is now known as zzztrumee
[21:14:04] sphery: but the idea was to get rid of all the old stuff so that new stuff could take its place
[21:14:19] zzztrumee is now known as trumee
[21:14:20] sphery: but instead, some have decided to re-invent the old and take 2 steps backwards
[21:14:21] skd5aner: do you think deleting old themes is going to spark a rush of new ones to replace them?
[21:14:23] skd5aner: I mean, I would hope so
[21:14:26] skd5aner: but I doubt it
[21:14:37] sphery: (one step being recreating the old, the other step being using default instead of actually redoing the rest of the them)
[21:14:40] sphery: and they call that a port
[21:14:45] sphery: and it's /not/
[21:14:49] skd5aner: i think iamlindoro's contest idea was a great example of something that should have worked, but didn't really bring in a ton of great work

[21:15:31] sphery: skd5aner: I think continuing to maintain the old garbage will significantly decrease the chances of people making new themes
[21:15:33] Beirdo: if we want new themes, there's only one real sure-fire way to get them
[21:15:37] Beirdo: hire someone to do it
[21:15:55] sphery: after all, if we put our worst foot forward, no one can see any reason to make a new theme--after all the MythTV UI sucks compared to XBMC
[21:15:56] Beirdo: the people who CAN do it are busy with other things
[21:16:07] iamlindoro: On the contrary, I think the contest was well worth it-- it cost us literally nothing (besides the value of my time finding all the prizes, managing the contest, and handling ir, and kormoc's time in setting up voting), and we got three themes-- sure, would have been nice to have more, but three themes ain't bad-- and all three are at least better than MythCenter
[21:16:14] sphery: oh, wait, really now it's just that MythTV themes that suck--with a couple of designed-for-MythUI exceptions
[21:16:18] iamlindoro: s/ir/it/
[21:16:45] skd5aner: iamlindoro: I think it was worth it, it just would have been nice to see more participation
[21:17:06] Beirdo: and if we do another theme competition, we may get more participation again
[21:17:10] iamlindoro: Schedules Direct can fund a grant and pay me to write new, attractive default and default-wide :P
[21:17:14] Beirdo: or maybe not
[21:17:37] skd5aner: I guess I was just saying, to your point, the incentitive to do it was there, just not sure people cared enough (besides the 2–3 who actually submitted something)

[21:18:11] iamlindoro: skd5aner: I think that's an enormously negative way of looking at it-- it's only a disappointment if you had the preconceived notion that we were going to have dozens of entries to choose from
[21:18:32] iamlindoro: The community in general did no work and got three themes out of it-- from the perspective of the user, there's not much to complain about
[21:19:02] skd5aner: I mean, I didn't assume I was alone in those thoughts, I've heard others (and I thought you) who had similiar sentiments... not that it was a failure, but that expectations were higher
[21:19:04] skd5aner: maybe not
[21:19:13] iamlindoro: Add to that the three or four fringe themes that have popped up since then from people claiming they couldn't finish a contest theme in time, and it's difficult to consider it a failure
[21:19:48] sybolt (sybolt!~sybolt@sybolt.xs4all.nl) has joined #mythtv-users
[21:19:53] iamlindoro: And I'll go on record saying *every* single theme written since MythUI wipes the floor with MythCenter
[21:19:57] skd5aner: sorry to put the negative slant on it – I think Childish was cool for what it is
[21:20:18] skd5aner: P.S. I've never used mythcenter, so I'm not standing up for it ;)
[21:20:20] iamlindoro: and LCARS is great for a certain Niche, and TransBlue is simple and there's nothing wrong with it
[21:20:39] sphery: yeah, the theme contest was great
[21:20:48] keith4: every once in awhile, my firewire-connected box seems to drop off the firewire bus, and no amount of `firewire_test`ing, module reloading, or box rebooting will fix it. i have to toggle the power on the cable box. anyone have an idea for how to detect this before the "why are these recordings not found?" stage?
[21:20:50] iamlindoro: and then there's Willi and blue-abstract and the one from the ubuntu forest and the new Forest one... plenty of themes
[21:20:56] sphery: and we actually have some nice themes because of it
[21:20:58] iamlindoro: all better than MythCenter, which is the millstone around our necks

[21:21:52] skd5aner: ok ok... I take it back, like I said – I've heard others express a slight dissapointment with turnout, but I guess I'm the only one left who thinks that way... I'm just a fan of competition, and would have liked to have seen more than "3" competitors when it was a "top 3" contents – that's all
[21:21:53] sphery: keith4: Have you tried installing seatbelts on the bus? Or maybe child-proof door locks? (Sorry, don't know anything about firewire, so I'll shut up, now.)
[21:22:14] keith4: sphery: hehe. everyone knows that buses don't have seatbelts!
[21:22:21] sphery: heh, true
[21:22:21] tidd1: unrelated to myth specifically, but thought there might be some real world help here. mysql innodb rollback from 5.1 to 5.0, has anybody done it here? If so, any gotchas?
[21:22:46] wagnerrp: maybe #mysql ?
[21:23:05] tidd1: yeah, I cannot seem to write in channel there
[21:23:21] wagnerrp: they probably only allow registered users
[21:23:32] wagnerrp: or it may be muted for people with voice only
[21:24:05] tidd1: yeah, thanks anyhow
[21:24:51] wagnerrp: message 'nickserv' for instructions on how to register

[21:50:11] justinh: I think I can easy churn out something better than all the post comp themes I've laid eyes on. My primary motivation for theming was always that there was nothing that even came close to what I liked – but since mythui that has lessened a hell of a lot

[22:10:16] wagnerrp: it was $50/yr before?
[22:10:51] sphery: it was $49.99 retail for a 12mo card
[22:11:58] sphery: but the 12mo used to be 12+1 (so you got 13mos), and you could still find cards for as low as $39.99, meaning $3.08/mo, then they dropped the 12+1 and they're now 12mo only, making it $3.33/mo
[22:12:44] stuartm: cheap
[22:12:53] sphery: and now with the $10 increase, it's $4.99/mo retail... if we assume we'll be able to get subs for $49.99 on the street, that's $4.16/mo

[22:16:36] sphery: seems they're $32.22 on buy.com right now... but since I don't think my console will last 'til the end of my current sub...
[22:17:01] sphery: oh, but that's $32.22 + $10S&H... so the $39.99 w/free shipping ones are better
