[01:15:04] abbronzato: (hello)
[01:15:08] wagnerrp: huh?
[01:15:43] abbronzato: hello wagnerrp, unlucky the lspci manteiner does not answer and no change at all to the database
[01:16:02] Azelphur: what does that have to do with mythtv o.O
[01:16:05] wagnerrp: we dont do hardware
[01:16:14] abbronzato: do you remeber , maybe 2 days ago, about a not supported card, recognized as a not existen one
[01:16:25] wagnerrp: yeah, thats not our responsibility
[01:16:30] wagnerrp: we dont maintain that stuff here

[01:16:59] abbronzato: sorry :( this is the nearest site qhere i thinked to ask

[01:18:13] wagnerrp: assuming lspci is part of the gnu toolkit
[01:18:13] abbronzato: sorry
[01:18:16] wagnerrp: i dont know if it is

[01:19:41] abbronzato: wagnerrp, i know it
[01:19:45] wagnerrp: abbronzato: unrelated to the discussion
[01:20:20] wagnerrp: anyway, this is all completely irrelevant, as no one has started working on your capture card, so being recognized properly in lspci isnt going to make a bit of difference

[01:23:38] abbronzato: wagnerrp, help a bit with a search... actually is recognized as a card with some results: from a working state to a 'brick' one, for this i tried to make something
[01:24:01] abbronzato: and after all you as well say that that one does not exist
[01:24:26] wagnerrp: HVR-4400 wasnt it?
[01:24:32] abbronzato: y
[01:25:22] abbronzato: but looking with the lspci answer the google make crazy
[01:26:21] wagnerrp: heh... nvidia still supports the 6-series cards in their most recent drivers
[01:26:56] Beirdo: didn't we go over this just a few days ago, abbronzato?
[01:27:53] abbronzato: here begin the lspci bad result, and i tried to ask here if someone can modify coreectly that database, all this
[01:28:30] Beirdo: right. But even if the lspci lists it correctly, it is still not supported, there is no driver in Linux

[01:28:51] darkdrgn2k3: can any one recommand nice small cases for a mythtv puter
[01:28:56] wagnerrp: so, any such efforts would be futile anyway
[01:29:02] abbronzato: yes, but maybe help someone else with a search, the info are most clear.. etcetc
[01:29:05] Beirdo: wagnerrp: not futile :)
[01:29:08] wagnerrp: darkdrgn2k3: frontend? backend? combined?
[01:29:23] darkdrgn2k3: wagnerrp: frontend or combined
[01:29:29] Beirdo: heh, having correct lspci entry would keep the next person from a futile search for drivers
[01:29:35] Beirdo: or help anyways
[01:30:01] wagnerrp: darkdrgn2k3: which one? it makes a big difference
[01:30:15] abbronzato: yes, is enough give a look in the web about the reported ls... card
[01:30:26] abbronzato: many useless try ;)
[01:30:32] darkdrgn2k3: wagnerrp: im looking for both :-P actually but lets say combined
[01:30:32] wagnerrp: combined would have to hold hard drives, and tuner cards, and maybe other stuff
[01:30:49] wagnerrp: how are you liking that case beirdo?
[01:31:04] abbronzato: ok, i left , bye, thanks the same
[01:31:04] Beirdo: I like it... it's a bit tight, but pretty snazzy
[01:31:05] darkdrgn2k3: wagnerrp: oh rght.. ok .. lets for FE then..

[01:31:38] Beirdo: the case has two backplates, but 1 slot is all you'll get on the mobo
[01:31:38] wagnerrp: well if hes going FE only, he doesnt need something that 'big'
[01:31:44] Beirdo: true
[01:31:45] Beirdo: one sec
[01:32:04] darkdrgn2k3: Beirdo: gimme the biger one to plz... i wanna eventualy replace my combined
[01:32:43] Beirdo: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16856119021
[01:32:51] Beirdo: that's what I plan to use for my frontend
[01:33:03] wagnerrp: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811112265 is the one he just bought for his backend
[01:33:14] Beirdo: yup
[01:33:14] darkdrgn2k3: nice be..
[01:33:23] darkdrgn2k3: i have a cube for my combined right now
[01:33:43] Beirdo: and as of about half an hour ago... HVR-2250 is up :)
[01:34:03] darkdrgn2k3: ...frankly i donno why i get a tuner
[01:34:07] darkdrgn2k3: not like i can tune to anything :(
[01:34:09] wagnerrp: Beirdo: thats not a full size 5.25" bay is it?
[01:34:17] Beirdo: yes it is
[01:34:25] wagnerrp: really...
[01:34:32] Beirdo: it has a flappy door that opens when the DVD drive hits it
[01:34:44] darkdrgn2k3: id love to get something liek this:
[01:34:45] darkdrgn2k3: http://www.tigerdirect.ca/applications/Search . . . p;CatId=3429
[01:34:58] wagnerrp: and the dimensions are great
[01:35:14] wagnerrp: full size, not a slim? youre certain?
[01:35:25] Beirdo: on which?
[01:35:29] Beirdo: frontend or backend?
[01:35:34] wagnerrp: foxconn barebones
[01:35:42] Beirdo: oooh
[01:35:47] Beirdo: I was thinking the wrong one
[01:35:48] Beirdo: one sec
[01:36:18] Beirdo: pretty sure it's fullsize
[01:36:32] darkdrgn2k3: oooo
[01:36:32] darkdrgn2k3: http://www.tigerdirect.ca/applications/Search . . . p;CatId=3429
[01:36:35] wagnerrp: that would be fantastic

[01:38:10] [R] ([R]!~rbox@unaffiliated/rbox) has joined #mythtv-users
[01:38:18] wagnerrp: I kinda plan to put THAT in it
[01:38:30] Beirdo: in a frontend box?
[01:38:34] Beirdo: but why?
[01:38:42] wagnerrp: detached frontend
[01:38:46] wagnerrp: or tunerless combo
[01:38:50] wagnerrp: whichever you prefer
[01:38:58] Beirdo: heh, OK :)
[01:39:15] wagnerrp: have a suspended 2.5" drive in there for the system
[01:39:21] Beirdo: ah
[01:39:38] wagnerrp: have a removable drive that i can carry back and forth, and chuck whatever movies and recordings i want on it
[01:39:40] Beirdo: yeah the backend box makes me happy
[01:40:21] wagnerrp: and... is that svideo or spdif on the back?
[01:40:45] Beirdo: spdif
[01:40:47] wagnerrp: spdif
[01:40:53] wagnerrp: thats a shame... would have to get a video card
[01:40:55] Beirdo: according to newegg at least
[01:40:59] Beirdo: there is video
[01:41:03] Beirdo: VGA
[01:41:12] wagnerrp: yeah, either a video card or a scan converter
[01:41:13] Beirdo: Intel GMA x4500
[01:41:18] wagnerrp: i figure a video card would be cheaper
[01:41:23] Beirdo: yeah :)
[01:41:29] Beirdo: and more useful for myth
[01:42:00] wagnerrp: yeah, i dont think the 4500 supports VAAPI
[01:42:03] wagnerrp: only the 4500HD
[01:42:35] Beirdo: I have my eye on it for size... and capability of using Core2 processors
[01:43:02] Beirdo: although I plan on dumbing down to a slightly cheaper processor
[01:43:10] Beirdo: it CAN do Core2 Quad, apparently
[01:43:24] Beirdo: I plan on buying in a couple weeks
[01:43:37] Beirdo: got more than enough to mess with with the new backend first :)
[01:44:20] wagnerrp: i had been considering one of these... http://silverstonetek.com/products/p_spec.php . . . amp;area=usa
[01:44:38] Beirdo: the one downside is the 1 x DDR2 slot
[01:44:51] wagnerrp: its surprisingly hard to find a case that takes full size drives and is <14" deep
[01:45:44] Beirdo: yeah
[01:46:14] Beirdo: well, I should head home
[01:46:22] Beirdo: got a fun weekend ahead of me :)

[02:18:27] mythluvah: Does someone know how to add the correct repository for Ubuntu 10.04 so that updates actually occur?
[02:18:48] tgm4883: mythluvah, you mean auto-builds?
[02:19:23] mythluvah: well when I do an apt-get upgrade myth* or mythtv, it says I'm up to date. When I go to SVN, I'm clearly on an old build (21458)
[02:19:52] tgm4883: mythluvah, sec
[02:20:24] tgm4883: ah, you are on the shipped version
[02:20:31] tgm4883: you need to add the mythbuntu-repos package http://mythbuntu.org/auto-builds
[02:20:59] mythluvah: so I do an apt-get for 'mythbuntu-repos' ?
[02:21:04] tgm4883: no
[02:21:10] tgm4883: you go to that web page and you read
[02:21:59] mythluvah: But I'm not running mythbuntu.. Does it matter?
[02:22:07] tgm4883: doesn't matter
[02:22:27] tgm4883: Ubuntu and Mythbuntu are kinda the same
[02:22:36] tgm4883: in respect to packages anyway
[02:22:56] mythluvah: I see. So I should cancel the svn build I'm doing? Or just leave it for now?
[02:23:30] tgm4883: well it's not necessary since the packages are precompiled for you by activating auto-builds
[02:23:44] tgm4883: but if you are in to compiling keep going I guess
[02:24:20] mythluvah: not really, but wasn't sure if there would be some weird conflict. :) I'll do the make install and see what happens.. If all goes well, I'll use the auto-builds for future fixes..
[02:24:56] mythluvah: Thanks for the help!
[02:25:14] tgm4883: IIRC, you should look into checkinstall so you can easily remove it

[03:09:52] wagnerrp: Captain_Murdoch: thats how we have the compute nodes at work set up
[03:09:52] Beirdo: why does an HVR-2250 have a MAC address?
[03:10:08] wagnerrp: a read only root NFS
[03:10:34] wagnerrp: memory disks for tmp and var, and nfs mount for home
[03:10:45] wagnerrp: Beirdo: interactive stuff
[03:10:58] Beirdo: but a MAC?
[03:10:59] wagnerrp: i think all digital tuners have a MAC address
[03:11:17] Beirdo: that's frigging weird to me :)
[03:11:46] wagnerrp: i know it was considered for identifying between multiple tuner cards
[03:11:51] Beirdo: unless it's an ethernet card, I see no reason it would need an IEEE802 MAC :)
[03:11:59] Beirdo: but meh :)
[03:12:06] wagnerrp: say you have two tuners on different antenna, or one on an antenna, one on cable
[03:12:06] Beirdo: just odd :)
[03:12:14] wagnerrp: keeping them differentiated across a reboot
[03:12:30] Beirdo: yeah, I can see how it's useful for identifying a card
[03:12:30] wagnerrp: would be great if analog cards had something similar...

[03:15:25] wagnerrp: oh fun... gentoo wants to update gcc
[03:15:28] wagnerrp: this will take a while
[03:15:59] Beirdo: insert ubuntu CD... reboot
[03:16:04] Beirdo: might be faster
[03:16:14] wagnerrp: meh, ive got their netboot installer set up
[03:16:21] wagnerrp: just need to copy a few files, and thats it
[03:16:49] wagnerrp: an old one though, maybe 9.04
[03:17:13] wagnerrp: a while back, someone told my cousin 'windows sucks, you should install leenix'
[03:17:24] wagnerrp: so he does, borks the whole thing
[03:17:27] wagnerrp: no windows, no linux
[03:17:50] Beirdo: heh
[03:18:13] wagnerrp: i got their computer, and it was a 160GB hard drive, with a pre-SP1 copy of XP
[03:18:21] wagnerrp: which doesnt support drives larger than 137GB
[03:18:50] wagnerrp: so i install it, patch it up, and theres 20GB unusable without finding some utility to expand the NTFS partition on it
[03:19:07] wagnerrp: i went ahead and installed ubuntu to let my cousin see what he was getting into
[03:19:14] wagnerrp: i dont think theyve ever used it
[03:19:53] Beirdo: family++
[03:23:39] wagnerrp: maybe you can offer some insight with this script im using
[03:23:46] wagnerrp: http://pastebin.com/VxSq8SdQ
[03:24:23] wagnerrp: i can put any amount of sleep in between lines 17 and 18... it never pulls an address
[03:24:54] Beirdo: weird
[03:25:02] wagnerrp: so it fails to mount the disk, fails to fsck it, fails to switch root, and subsequently runs the emergency shell
[03:25:11] wagnerrp: at which point i run line 18 manually, and everything works fine
[03:25:44] Beirdo: no clue off hand
[03:26:06] Beirdo: I assume you whacked the web looking for udhcpc and initrd, etc?
[03:26:11] wagnerrp: OH! i see it
[03:26:18] wagnerrp: that script /is/ working
[03:26:22] Beirdo: oh?
[03:26:30] wagnerrp: the one that exists in the initrd thats causing me problems isnt
[03:26:38] wagnerrp: my proc and sys mounts are wrong

[03:26:54] Beirdo: oh
[03:27:00] wagnerrp: so they arent mounted when i try to run udhcpc, it fails, and then they are mounted properly the second time
[03:27:08] Beirdo: that could do it
[03:27:29] wagnerrp: ive got 'mount -t proc /proc /proc'
[03:27:33] wagnerrp: instead of 'none'
[03:29:15] Beirdo: don't ya love it when you find silly things like that
[03:30:10] wagnerrp: of course, and you can never find it until you have someone else look at it
[03:31:08] Beirdo: but of course
[03:31:26] wagnerrp: can you catch and handle a ctrl-c in bourne script?
[03:32:40] Beirdo: yes
[03:33:00] Beirdo: just trying to remember the incantation
[03:33:18] Beirdo: probably have to man bash
[03:33:38] wagnerrp: im thinking i should run this in a loop every 30 seconds or so
[03:33:47] wagnerrp: with a ctrl-c to drop out to the emergency shell
[03:34:23] wagnerrp: one of my machines never seems to pick up the iscsi mount on the first try
[03:34:31] wagnerrp: so i always have to go down to the basement to hit reset
[03:35:15] Beirdo: yuck
[03:39:32] Beirdo: OK, have my udev rules for the 2250

[03:52:21] clever: i could modify it next to check for .mounted in each fs and not bother trying again, so its safe to re-run

[04:59:21] wagnerrp: so i dropped a stage3 (base system install) on top of it

[04:59:48] wagnerrp: it seems to be running fine with minimal effort

[05:01:06] wagnerrp: thats improvement, right?
[05:01:10] Beirdo: for sure

[05:15:19] Beirdo: nope
[05:15:33] wagnerrp: its almost painfully simple compared to a linux one
[05:15:51] wagnerrp: no endless list of options to configure
[05:16:07] Beirdo: yeah, but the options are for a reason
[05:16:13] wagnerrp: just a couple device families
[05:16:13] Beirdo: just like in myth

[05:58:44] elmargol: dustybin: depends on the screen size. SD looks just fine on <32"
[05:59:48] jamesd_: i dont have a problem with it on my 42" 1080p, though its easy to get spoiled on 1080* content
[06:01:13] dustybin: SD + VGA Scart looks awesome
[06:01:40] dustybin: when we move over to HD, sure ill switch but there still is no point
[06:03:58] jamesd_: the biggest reason for SD is the amount of content it allowed they can put 4+ shows per channel and who really needs HD talk shows...
[06:05:06] dustybin: when i watch my tv, i dont think about the quality, i watch what it is, im sure if i had HD, the spark would wear off, and i would be doing the same as if i had SD
[06:05:38] dustybin: SD or HD doesnt make the film better or worse
[06:06:25] jamesd_: HD sporting events rock its totally cool to be able to see the blades of glass on the field even though i just have rabbit ears.
[06:06:34] jamesd_: er grass
[06:06:38] elmargol: The real problem is they are not using 100% SD most content over here is compressed to death
[06:06:52] elmargol: If you split 5Mbit on 6 channels it is going to suck :)
[06:06:59] dustybin: jamesd_: that would still wear off and turn normal, even SD is still amazing compared to analogue
[06:07:07] elmargol: At least if you are using mpeg2
[06:07:20] elmargol: it is all depending on the bitrate

[06:25:04] elmargol: HD is outdated *g*
[06:25:05] wagnerrp: oh?
[06:25:17] wagnerrp: where might you find 4K content?
[06:26:16] wagnerrp: more importantly, where are you going to find a machine to decode 4K h.264?
[06:26:28] wagnerrp: or even 4k mpeg2 for that matter
[06:26:28] elmargol: http://xkcd.com/732/ ^^
[06:26:51] elmargol: wagnerrp: on youtube
[06:27:12] elmargol: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N0m1XmvBey8 <--
[06:27:18] wagnerrp: bleh, the 4k stuff on youtube is garbage bitrate
[06:27:23] wagnerrp: and it still plays awful
[06:27:40] elmargol: you can't decode it *g*
[06:28:23] wagnerrp: flash just outright barfs? ill admit ive not actually tried
[06:29:37] wagnerrp: anyway, a high end processor may do 15mbps per core, decoding
[06:30:17] wagnerrp: and for 4K video, youre looking at probably 125mbps
[06:32:03] wagnerrp: mpeg2 would be double to triple that, and its not set up for multi-threaded decoding
[06:32:30] dustybin: if the content is excellent and the quality is cack, ill still watch it, if the content is poor and the quality is amazing HD, i wont watch it, resolution doesnt make a cack film any better or worse
[06:33:30] wagnerrp: sure it does
[06:34:08] wagnerrp: if youve got macroblocking all over the place, youre going to get fed up and stop watching
[06:35:35] dustybin: same with audio, if i heard some of my favourite tracks played from a analogue audio cassette or i had a chance to listen to cd quality music i hate, i would choose the analogue audio cassette
[06:37:29] elmargol: dustybin: you must be strange
[06:37:29] elmargol: audio quality on cassette sucks big time
[06:37:47] elmargol: vinyl maybe... cassette no way
[06:37:48] dustybin: it was good enough
[06:38:39] elmargol: yea like black and white tv
[06:38:55] dustybin: everything is too perfect these days, low quality doesnt mean its bad, its character
[06:39:04] elmargol: or needle printers
[06:39:23] wagnerrp: low quality because of intent is character
[06:39:31] wagnerrp: low quality because of poor medium is just garbage
[06:40:13] dustybin: wagnerrp: what im trying to say is, the content comes first, whatever the output is, comes 2nd
[06:40:51] dustybin: not the other way round, lets watch this cack film because i happen to have the hd video for it
[06:41:36] dustybin: ohhhh its HD, amazing, amazing, hold on... this film is cack..
[06:43:22] elmargol: there is even worse... I hate 3d sooooo mch
[06:43:28] elmargol: it is just stupid
[06:43:38] wagnerrp: meh... i just see low quality blockiness, fuzzyness, etc... as something that gets in the way
[06:43:38] dustybin: we need to do a experiment, a human watching a film with SD quality and a human watching the same film with HD quality, did the person watching the same film in HD quality enjoy the film better than the guy watching it in SD quality
[06:43:53] wagnerrp: you notice it, and you cant get immersed in the film, show, song, whatever
[06:44:41] wagnerrp: dustybin: that depends, is atmosphere and staging something used to good effect in the film?
[06:44:52] dustybin: equal
[06:45:59] dustybin: man i enjoyed that film so much, i could see every detail, i could see the guys hair :-S
[06:46:37] wagnerrp: i assume youve been to a theater before?
[06:46:45] dustybin: sure
[06:47:01] wagnerrp: you have a dark theater, large screen, loud audio
[06:47:07] wagnerrp: it really helps immerse you in the film
[06:47:08] dustybin: its good sure
[06:48:06] wagnerrp: if the film relies on its environment to set up the mood, it can significantly help a film
[06:48:12] dustybin: but when you are watching the film, your mind doesnt focus on how many pixels are on the screen, you are engaged in the story, same as SD or HD, its equal
[06:48:19] wagnerrp: if the film is nothing but a bunch of people talking, then no, it makes no difference
[06:49:01] wagnerrp: its nothing to do with how many pixels are on screen
[06:49:08] dustybin: of course
[06:49:17] wagnerrp: its whether at your screen size, can you easily pick out the individual pixels
[06:49:26] wagnerrp: alternatively is the screen very blurry
[06:49:28] dustybin: hahahaa
[06:49:36] wagnerrp: if you want a large screen, you need higher resolution
[06:49:45] wagnerrp: or else that is going to stand out
[06:50:14] dustybin: ok
[06:50:18] wagnerrp: its not about letting you see more
[06:50:25] wagnerrp: its about distracting you less at larger screen sizes
[06:50:47] dustybin: ok good point
[06:50:50] wagnerrp: films have always had vastly higher resolution and quality than broadcast tv and dvds
[06:51:10] wagnerrp: if you want the same kind of experience, you need similarly high resolution video
[06:52:05] dustybin: maybe HD will make you engage into a film easier than SD, less distractions
[06:52:22] wagnerrp: IF you have a sufficiently large tv
[06:52:27] dustybin: ok
[06:54:03] dustybin: the world is trying to be ultra pixel perfect, ultra clean audio, bring back some bad quality :D
[06:55:04] wagnerrp: youre not looking for bad quality, youre looking for realistic quality
[06:55:09] wagnerrp: 'clean' is not realistic

[06:58:37] Beirdo: BONK
[06:58:59] wagnerrp: no, the problem is that its far from perfect
[06:59:09] wagnerrp: like you say, its too 'clean'
[07:00:09] wagnerrp: buildings are dirty, they have cracks
[07:00:17] wagnerrp: theres crap on the streets
[07:00:33] wagnerrp: blemishes on people, specular diffusion in the skin
[07:00:59] wagnerrp: theres all sorts of things that CG skips out on, because its too complex, or takes too much resources
[07:01:18] Beirdo: or because people are too lazy to implement :)
[07:01:47] wagnerrp: as a result, stuff just looks 'wrong', or its 'too pristine'
[07:01:51] wagnerrp: its unrealistic
[07:02:17] dustybin: is there a such thing as a linux project what is complete
[07:02:31] dustybin: there is nothing more required for it
[07:02:34] Beirdo: nothing is complete
[07:02:36] Beirdo: ever
[07:02:44] wagnerrp: you cant tell what is missing, but subconsciously, you know its fake
[07:02:45] dustybin: why?
[07:03:22] dustybin: can adding and changing eventually mess up what was once good, like adobe software...
[07:03:27] wagnerrp: thats why well done model-based stuff from the 70s looks better than modern CG

[07:06:28] Beirdo: nah, I already had a laugh over that one
[07:07:03] dustybin: the adobe stuff is a joke, photoshop was finished years ago, and yet they still release stuff
[07:07:10] Beirdo: we don't care
[07:07:30] Beirdo: and it's not finished, obviously.
[07:07:58] dustybin: well, im trying to say, maybe software should stop, instead of turning into a bloatfest for no reason, it can spoil the original good product

[07:52:40] IXian-Probe: hi, I'm looking for a mediaserver setup that downloads podcasts over rss and automatically(automagically?) transfers them to a mobile device. (Though, I know that the last part depends on the client software.) Does Mythtv have a uPnP server plugin and a RSS/Atom plugin?
[08:02:08] justinh: it has a upnp server built-in
[08:02:44] justinh: but as for an RSS feed plugin – no such thing exists although several people have written scripts to make rss feeds from mythtv content – but only for recordings as far as I know
[08:03:15] IXian-Probe: I just found the mythnetv plugin that said it has an rss reader.. so I think I got my question answered.
[08:03:16] justinh: wouldn't you just be better served with a podcast client?
[08:03:20] IXian-Probe: thanks :)
[08:04:10] IXian-Probe: well, I only want my mobile devices to download when I'm home, but I'd like to have it automated completely.
[08:04:26] IXian-Probe: and I would want to cache everything on a central server
[08:04:33] justinh: I don't think any podcast client can do that. the transferring is always left to the user
[08:04:36] IXian-Probe: since I have several mobile devices and I want them to have identical content.

[12:48:40] jean_: justinh: hi, thank you for reply. I restart mythfrontend after each change, but no luck
[12:49:19] justinh: and as I said mythfrontend won't read ~/.lircrc/
[12:49:54] justinh: er ~/.lirc/ I mean
[12:50:59] jean_: justinh: ok, so right place to go is ~/.lircrc
[12:51:00] jean_: ?
[12:51:19] justinh: or in ~/.mythtv/lircrc
[12:51:40] justinh: i.e. the file is either called ~/.lircrc or ~/.mythtv/lircrc

[14:32:58] wagnerrp: and couldnt understand why
[14:33:13] stoth: that indeed would be my doing.
[14:33:23] wagnerrp: i know its got something to do with interactive capability, but beyond that, i didnt really understand it myself
[14:33:36] elmargol: strange the scan application does not work aswell
[14:34:09] stoth: we need a unique serial no per board. When we migrated from the technotrende band into haup made hardware we followed the existing serial number model, using mac addresses.
[14:34:24] wagnerrp: also, hes got beer and/or other gifts lined up for you for the the -2250 driver

[15:06:00] sofar: is the transcode profile stored in the db as part of each recorded show?
[15:06:57] sofar: because no matter what I try, it takes my 720p profile for all my recordings, even though I've added my SD profile to all my SD recordiing schedules

[15:32:02] wagnerrp: no, the default transcode settings has been set once a show has been recorded

[15:33:34] mythluvah: Also, the plugins menu appears, but I can't enter it.

[17:39:35] wagnerrp: DaPsaille: the problem is in how mythtv handles multiplexes
[17:39:48] wagnerrp: it creates multiple virtual tuners, which get handled just like any other tuner
[17:40:07] wagnerrp: when you are doing livetv, by default, it will pick the first available tuner it finds from the top of the list down
[17:40:26] wagnerrp: if you define a digital tuner with three virtual tuners
[17:40:41] wagnerrp: livetv will choose the second virtual tuner, and be locked to the same multiplex as the recording
[17:41:03] wagnerrp: you either need to change the setting that tells livetv to 'avoid conflicts with recordings', which tells it to take from the bottom of the list up
[17:41:16] wagnerrp: or you just need to manually switch tuners to a fully available one in livetv

[17:46:51] wagnerrp: but not one for which there is an easy solution

[17:48:01] wagnerrp: depending on your country of origin, you shouldnt be scanning anyway

[17:49:06] bwallen: What is a good indoor antenna for OTA broadcasts in the USA?
[17:49:09] DaPsaille: so dual tuner configuration work un scheduled mode but not in livetv
[17:49:15] backslash7: wagnerrp: The first time I used mythtv everything worked great. When I wanted to use it again a couple of months later, it didn't anymore and I was told I had to create a bunch of files and that analog scanning had been disabled because nobody uses it anyway. So it's enabled again in 0.23?
[17:49:17] DaPsaille: or it may cause problems
[17:49:22] wagnerrp: it works just fine in livetv, its just a bit quirky
[17:49:48] wagnerrp: you may want to set a button on your remote to let you cycle through your tuners

[17:52:17] DaPsaille: just for being sure ... for a dual tuner do i need to create a new video source or may i link the second tuner to the existent source ?
[17:52:41] wagnerrp: DaPsaille: the 'video source' is an abstract 'source of content'
[17:52:47] DaPsaille: ok
[17:52:54] wagnerrp: be it an antenna, or a cable subscription, or satellite subscription, etc...
[17:53:16] wagnerrp: the video source defines the channel list, and guide provider
[17:53:27] wagnerrp: then you can map one or more tuners to it as appropriate
[17:53:55] DaPsaille: so i need only to make 1 frequency scan for the two tunners  ?
[17:54:11] wagnerrp: if they run off the same source, correct
[17:54:16] DaPsaille: ok perfect
[17:54:34] DaPsaille: it seems that documentation lacks dual tuner config .. if i'm wrong please tell me
[17:54:56] frtorres: I have been using 0.23.1 version with Haup hdpvr 1212 box. I control a DirectTV STB with HD channels. I got a seg fault when changing from a std channel to a HD channel.
[17:54:59] DaPsaille: and don't tell me to create it ^^ i don't understand half the things i do
[17:55:22] wagnerrp: DaPsaille: its not that it lacks it, theres just little need to document how do to it
[17:55:31] frtorres: I recompliled mythtv from trunk, same problem. Googled but not much ingo. Any hint about it?
[17:55:34] wagnerrp: you add a second, and third, and any subsequent tuner just as you did the first
[17:55:50] DaPsaille: ok
[17:56:01] wagnerrp: frtorres: using digital audio?
[17:56:06] frtorres: btw if I run mythfrontend and the first channel is a HD channels works ok.
[17:56:36] frtorres: wagnerrp, no.
[17:56:41] tgm4883: wagnerrp, is there an issue with digital audio on the HDPVR?
[17:56:54] tgm4883: i'm fighting audio issues on mine now
[17:57:02] wagnerrp: tgm4883: sort of
[17:57:17] wagnerrp: there are issues where the STB hasnt actually finished tuning
[17:57:24] wagnerrp: so its not yet sending a proper audio stream
[17:57:28] tgm4883: wagnerrp, if you tell me the issue is that sometimes audio doesn't get recorded i'll be happy
[17:57:30] tgm4883: hmm
[17:57:34] wagnerrp: but the channel changer script has returned
[17:57:35] tgm4883: that might actually be my issue
[17:57:46] wagnerrp: leading mythtv to believe that the stb is ready to capture from
[17:58:01] tgm4883: fixes for that?
[17:58:03] wagnerrp: it tries to pull a feed from the HDPVR, and without the audio stream, there are problems
[17:58:18] wagnerrp: put a 'sleep' in your channel changer script
[17:58:21] tgm4883: I'm getting video, but no audio
[17:58:26] tgm4883: ok, i'll try that
[17:58:33] wagnerrp: its not a clean solution
[17:58:46] wagnerrp: but it will have to do until hauppauge gets it fixed in their own firmware
[17:58:54] tgm4883: ok sounds good
[17:59:27] tgm4883: sorry to hijack you helping frtorres
[18:02:19] wagnerrp: frtorres: the HDPVR will merely output a stream at whatever resolution is set to it, it does no scaling
[18:02:33] wagnerrp: previously, mythtv would have trouble if the HDPVR changed resolutions mid-stream
[18:02:42] wagnerrp: but as far as i know, that should all work fine now
[18:04:31] frtorres: mmm. wagnerrp. If my first tunned channel is a HD and I change to another HD channel, works ok, but changing from a std to HD channel. I got a segfault
[18:05:15] wagnerrp: i dont actually have an HDPVR, so i cant really help you further
[18:05:33] wagnerrp: i know of that old issue as mentioned, but i was under the impression it had been fixed some time ago
[18:05:44] frtorres: I updated to the latest haup firmware
[18:06:01] DaPsaille: wagnerrp thanks for the tip for cycling tuners, it works but ...
[18:06:02] frtorres: wagnerrp: It is ok, thanks for youtr help
[18:06:45] DaPsaille: if i manually record 1 program on multiplex1 then another on multiplex 2 ten another to mp 3 ... it stops recording on multiplex1 without asking me ... feature or bug ?
[18:06:50] backslash7: wagnerrp: I just checked out the mythtv 0.23 branch and the README file says "Release 0.22". Should I file a bug report? ;)
[18:07:58] wagnerrp: DaPsaille: thats the scheduler in action
[18:08:16] Beirdo: argh. what's the "use Qt painter" commandline option again?
[18:08:17] wagnerrp: for whatever reason, the recording on multiplex 3 was at a higher priority than that on 1

[18:08:49] DaPsaille: and does this apply to planified recordings ? (i mean without notificaiton) ?
[18:09:07] wagnerrp: planified? scheduled?
[18:09:15] Beirdo: danke
[18:09:32] DaPsaille: sorry .... i was in livetv mode and i've pressed R key for the 3 precedent records
[18:09:37] wagnerrp: for scheduled recordings, you can review the list of upcoming recordings and resolve any recording conflicts you may come across manually

[18:10:07] wagnerrp: i dont know what exactly happens when you use 'r' in livetv mode
[18:10:12] Beirdo: only to run mythtv-setup
[18:10:15] DaPsaille: r for record
[18:10:17] wagnerrp: i would have assumed once you had both tuners in ues
[18:10:26] wagnerrp: it would have simply not allowed you to access another multiplex
[18:10:43] wagnerrp: you would have been locked to those two muxes for livetv until one or the other recording finished
[18:10:48] DaPsaille: yes but it doesn't ask me or warn me that the first record will be stopped

[22:53:17] Beirdo: I don't need 12ft total of cabling.
[22:53:23] Beirdo: per receiver
[22:53:26] Beirdo: that's retarded
[22:53:30] [R]: lol
[22:53:50] [R]: what about get a gender changer
[22:53:59] [R]: with a m/f
[22:54:01] [R]: null mdoem
[22:54:07] [R]: their like 50 cents
[22:54:30] Beirdo: because it's lame? :)
[22:54:36] [R]: http://www.monoprice.com/products/product.asp . . . amp;format=2
[22:54:37] [R]: lol
[22:54:40] Beirdo: better than a 6ft cable
[22:55:32] Beirdo: and they are $0.88 :)
[22:55:33] Beirdo: hehe
[22:55:37] [R]: lol
[22:55:47] Beirdo: oooh, $0.84 as I'm buying 3
[22:55:57] [R]: lol

[22:56:38] Beirdo: the little POS I have are the F-F gender changer
[22:56:49] Beirdo: and they are going back (as they were $4 each)
[22:57:01] Beirdo: and I'll wait for monoprice's ones to show
[22:58:34] [R]: can you use 2 sets of remote codes with 1 lirc reciever?
[23:01:05] lbt (lbt!~david@Maemo/community/contributor/lbt) has joined #mythtv-users
[23:01:31] wagnerrp: depends on whether the receiver can accept arbitrary codes, or only the pre-programmed ones
[23:02:36] [R]: yes, it can
[23:02:38] NightMonkey (NightMonkey!~NightMonk@pdpc/supporter/professional/nightmonkey) has quit (Ping timeout: 245 seconds)
[23:02:45] [R]: i'm talking about lirc itself
[23:03:40] [R]: with my serial ir receiver it can take anything you throw at it... but i want it to have my audio receiver codes and another set of codes
[23:04:01] [R]: i want the tv to pick up when the volume changes and have myth show the osd on the screen, so i get visual feedback when changing the channel
[23:04:09] [R]: i want the computer*
[23:05:26] Beirdo: fugh!
[23:05:47] Beirdo: I guess I need to decide how I want to do this
[23:06:10] Beirdo: I think my HVR-2250 will not get any use for a few days as I'll have no way to change channels
[23:06:20] Beirdo: I'll use the one working cableset with the HDPVR
[23:06:41] Beirdo: I bought a single overpriced nullmodem M-F at Rat Shack
[23:07:10] [R]: lol

[23:10:00] Beirdo: Hmmm
[23:10:16] Beirdo: I don't feel like setting up lirc and moving the mceusb
[23:10:40] Beirdo: as then I'd have to get it working with the hdhomerun to control the frontend
[23:10:49] russell5: hey quick serial cable question seeing that you are talking about it. if i didnt have a null modem cable would i just get a time out with the serial channel changer program
[23:11:06] BLZbubba: ok cool, init=/bin/bash --login works, even though init=/bin/sh doesnt. weird
[23:11:19] Beirdo: russell5: certainly
[23:11:32] russell5: mmmm
[23:11:41] Beirdo: as the transmit line from the PC goes to the transmit line from the receiver
[23:11:49] Beirdo: rather than to the receive line
[23:11:49] russell5: i just assumed my cable box's serial port was disabled but i could not have a right cable
[23:11:58] Beirdo: there's no communication
[23:12:03] russell5: makes sense
[23:12:07] [R]: russell5: well check if the pins are straight or crossed
[23:12:22] Beirdo: at least in my setup, that as precisely my issue with the directv setup

[23:15:11] wagnerrp: 1350VA UPS at Frys, for anyone with one around
[23:15:25] wagnerrp: $80
[23:15:30] [R]: is that good?
[23:15:46] wagnerrp: retail for one that large is usually $150-$200
[23:15:49] Beirdo: not bad, what brand?
[23:15:58] wagnerrp: cyberpower, ive got one in my basement
[23:16:07] wagnerrp: works well enough, needs a serial port for communication
[23:16:12] Beirdo: heh
[23:16:22] Beirdo: woohoo
[23:16:38] Beirdo: serial channel changing perfectly on the first receiver
[23:16:41] russell5: howhow can i tell if its a null modem calbe? its just one i use at work to connect to our swicthes
[23:16:54] Beirdo: is it DB9?
[23:17:09] Beirdo: take a multimeter and beep out pin 1 -> pin 1
[23:17:12] Beirdo: etc
[23:17:34] Beirdo: 2 and 3 are Rx/Tx (maybe Tx/Rx) IIRC
[23:18:07] [R]: its only 9 pins... not hard to test them all
[23:18:22] russell5: maybee ill just get a null modem adapter and try again. lol (dont have a multimeter)
[23:18:38] [R]: how do you test your batteries then?
[23:19:18] russell5: lol i put them and and see is the device works. lol i should get one
[23:19:18] Beirdo: 7 (IIRC) should go straight through (GNS)
[23:19:21] wagnerrp: gotta test em all
[23:19:22] Beirdo: GND even
[23:19:32] [R]: gotta catch them all!
[23:19:38] Beirdo: Tx, Rx, GND are the most important :)
[23:19:48] [R]: russell5: but what happens if there is 4 batteries and only 1 is dead?
[23:19:51] wagnerrp: catch what?
[23:20:02] [R]: i dunno
[23:20:05] [R]: you said gotta test them all
[23:20:08] russell5: i waste batteries i guess
[23:20:14] wagnerrp: all the pins
[23:20:35] [R]: i hate when you put the positive and negative backwards
[23:20:39] [R]: and it says its a negative voltage
[23:20:48] [R]: some guy at work tried explaining it to me but that didnt help

[23:24:14] wagnerrp: you run a sump pump to keep your basement dry
[23:24:21] [R]: ok...
[23:24:24] wagnerrp: you need to run it frequently
[23:24:29] Beirdo: you COULD hang the UPS from the ceiling :)
[23:24:33] [R]: so thats why he wants to put it on a ups
[23:24:36] [R]: incase the power goes out
[23:24:36] wagnerrp: 5 minutes of power for your sump pump isnt going to get you much
[23:24:45] [R]: oh... its not a veyr big battery
[23:24:53] [R]: i've seen upss that do like 30 minutes
[23:24:53] Beirdo: well, yeah

[23:24:59] wagnerrp: if your power is out for so long that the amount of water in your basement becomes a problem
[23:25:02] Beirdo: get a diesel genset
[23:25:11] wagnerrp: that little bit of stored capacity isnt going to do squat
[23:25:21] bjd: wouldn't a dehumifidier (or however you spell it) be in your basement?
[23:25:41] wagnerrp: [R]: it all depends on your load
[23:25:43] [R]: bjd: that removes humidity in the air
[23:26:00] bjd: no shit sherlock
[23:26:03] wagnerrp: my 1250VA unit running in the basement will run for maybe 5 minutes at full load
[23:26:24] wagnerrp: it runs for maybe 20 minutes at the 300–350W load i typically have on it
[23:26:41] bjd: we don't really have basements :)
[23:26:52] wagnerrp: or if i shut down everything but the modem, router, switches, and access points, it will run that 20W of load for most of the day
[23:27:27] wagnerrp: those units are not linear
[23:27:35] wagnerrp: the faster you pull power, the less total energy you can use

[23:33:09] cleith: anybody here today?
[23:33:27] bjd: no
[23:33:34] cleith: nice
[23:34:50] cleith: anybody got an idea why my setup might stutter when the OSD is up? I have pretty decent hardware and using VDPAU. Not sure what to check.
[23:35:26] bjd: what are you doing when it stutters?
[23:35:41] bjd: watching something or just using the OSD?
[23:36:05] bjd: and what hardware?
[23:36:12] bjd: and versions?
[23:36:53] cleith: either watching live tv or something recorded. notice it most on volume change. say if I press up volume a few times, playback seems to stutter with each key press.
[23:36:59] cleith: myth 0.23.1
[23:37:22] cleith: are there any known issues?
[23:37:40] bjd: don't think so
[23:37:53] cleith: does yours stutter?
[23:38:02] wagnerrp: what is 'decent hardware'?
[23:38:32] bjd: mine is fine across a variety of hardware
[23:39:58] cleith: i5 quad. 4GB ram. nvidia 9800. hdpvr.
[23:40:31] wagnerrp: you should probably just use the opengl renderer, instead of vdpau
[23:41:07] cleith: really. i thought VDPAU was best if it worked?
[23:41:40] wagnerrp: VDPAU is best if you need hardware acceleration if it worked
[23:42:18] cleith: ok, I might give that a try.
[23:44:12] cleith: anybody know about playing dvd ISOs? recently I have ripped a bunch using brasero but they fail to play with myth. usually the menu comes up, but once you choose play movie it aborts. anybody know what might be going on there?
[23:45:04] cleith: also fails with totem, so it is not really a myth problem per say, but just wondered if anyone had some experience with it.
[23:47:28] cleith: no takers on that one?
