[02:14:04] benklop: i've recently upgraded to .23.1 from .23 and I am not getting VERY high cpu usage from mythfrontend when at an idle
[02:14:14] benklop: eg at menus and such
[02:14:29] benklop: usually after skipping forward or back in a show
[02:14:40] benklop: it starts preezing up every second or so, and then if I pause or go to a menu or anything the mythfrontend process uses as much CPU as is available
[02:14:51] benklop: ts a single core box, so if there is 1 thread with an issue I guess I could imagine this not being noticed on newer machines

[03:44:26] skybandit: does myth tv work with windows? or is it still being developed?
[03:45:09] wagnerrp: frontend only
[03:45:35] wagnerrp: use as a backend is planned, but not currently in development
[03:46:04] skybandit: ty
[03:46:21] skybandit: im going to have to read up this for sure
[03:46:43] skybandit: i just came across it and had to check it out
[03:47:19] wagnerrp: http://mythtv.org/wiki/Executive_Overview
[03:48:12] skybandit: im a noob so if you dont mind, could you explain in a nutshell the advantages or differences of front-end over back-end?
[03:48:31] wagnerrp: see the above link
[03:49:30] stoth (stoth!~stoth@ool-4572125f.dyn.optonline.net) has joined #mythtv-users
[03:49:39] wagnerrp: there is no advantage or disadvantage of one over the other, they serve entirely different purposes
[03:51:03] skybandit: by briefly reading your link i see im going to have to read up on this a bit
[03:51:11] skybandit: do you have any forums?
[03:51:26] wagnerrp: none official, we have mailing lists
[03:51:35] wagnerrp: ever used windows media center?
[03:52:00] skybandit: not sure, is that the same as windows media player?
[03:52:11] wagnerrp: no
[03:52:24] wagnerrp: ever seen the ads about direct tv's new multi-room dvrs?
[03:52:27] skybandit: i guess i havent then
[03:52:42] skybandit: im in canada so i dont see dtv ads
[03:53:03] wagnerrp: anyway, the backend does the recording, the frontend does the playback
[03:53:06] skybandit: but i understand the concept of duel tuners, etc
[03:53:23] wagnerrp: two separate programs, can be run on the same machine, or different machines
[03:53:42] wagnerrp: this lets you run multiple frontends off the same tuners and disk space
[03:53:50] wagnerrp: rather than having to record the same things in every room
[03:54:05] wagnerrp: also lets you have one giant box in the closet/basement/attic/crawlspace
[03:54:13] skybandit: this has me intrigued
[03:54:13] wagnerrp: that holds all youre hard drives and tuner cards
[03:54:25] wagnerrp: and have comparatively small boxes at each tv
[03:55:19] wagnerrp: its basically the same thing as those DTV systems, as media center extenders, as sagetv extenders, ....
[03:55:36] skybandit: oh my, i got lots of reading to do...lol
[03:57:07] skybandit: wish you guys had a forum where i could read up on set-up etc, and ask any questions as I go
[03:57:37] wagnerrp: we have the wiki and the official documentation to read through
[03:57:45] wagnerrp: and there is the mailing list, and its archives
[03:58:15] wagnerrp: beyond that, there are a handful of 3rd party forums dedicated to mythtv
[03:59:12] skybandit: do you have a link to any of these 3rd party forums?
[03:59:36] wagnerrp: there is mythtvtalk.com, and there is a mythbuntu section on the ubuntu forums
[04:00:01] wagnerrp: i would really stay away from there as a new user, and the mailing list for that matter
[04:00:22] wagnerrp: all youre going to find is a bunch of wrong information by people who dont know what theyre doing
[04:00:35] skybandit: as a noob what do you recommend?
[04:00:58] wagnerrp: the wiki has a fair bit of wrong or outdated information on its own, but were trying to correct that for the frequented pages
[04:01:28] wagnerrp: and this channel is going to be primarily devs, and a few long time users
[04:02:40] skybandit: i need something that i can follow along at a pace to allow me to gather all i need and ask questions as I go
[04:03:14] wagnerrp: read through the official docs and the wiki
[04:03:21] wagnerrp: pop in here for questions as you need
[04:03:44] skybandit: ill do my reading at the links you have provided, and when i get really stuck I will come back here and peaster you ;)
[04:03:45] wagnerrp: basic questions a 'noob' is going to ask are likely going to be answered in here in short order
[04:04:06] skybandit: peaster = pester
[04:04:29] skybandit: ill do my research before i come here to bug...promise

[04:05:39] wagnerrp: we dont write drivers
[04:05:56] wagnerrp: aside from a few specific devices, we dont support individual tuner cards
[04:06:03] wagnerrp: its just like windows, we just support the API

I am stuck with the mythtv-setup options...I think I have it configured correctly, but I can't get it to download any program guide.....I did test the hd pvr box, and it seems to be working, yet I can't watch TV, even though when I ran a cat command on it, it did record a minute or so before I stopped it....
[04:25:13] wagnerrp: Crankygeek01: you have set up a schedules direct account?
[04:25:19] Crankygeek01: Any help would be greatly appreciated....

[04:55:21] Crankygeek01: Hopefully you will still be around when this is done  :)
[04:57:37] Crankygeek01: Do you know if there is a way to set this up to use the directv remote, or am I better off using the cheap remote that came with the HD PVR?
[04:58:12] wagnerrp: i dont know if the remote that came with the HDPVR accepts generic inputs
[04:58:33] wagnerrp: if you have the receiver working, you can run 'mode2', and start pressing buttons
[04:58:51] wagnerrp: if it responds to both, you can reprogram it however you desire
[04:59:06] wagnerrp: iif it only responds to the hauppauge remote, then youre stuck with it
[04:59:43] Crankygeek01: ok, not sure what you mean, but the database is done

[05:31:36] wagnerrp: you set this up as an HDPVR right?
[05:31:46] wagnerrp: the card type
[05:39:34] Crankygeek01: Yes
[05:41:00] wagnerrp: what did you tell it to use as a channel changer?
[05:42:11] Crankygeek01: umm, let me check
[05:44:55] Crankygeek01: THe external channel change command?
[05:45:04] Crankygeek01: is that what you are looking for?
[05:47:03] wagnerrp: yes
[05:47:12] wagnerrp: since that is not a tuner, you need an external channel changer
[05:47:27] wagnerrp: it sounds like that is failing, and causing the recordingg to abort
[05:47:54] Crankygeek01: That line is blank
[05:48:19] wagnerrp: then thats why its failing
[05:48:27] wagnerrp: since you dont have an external channel changer set up yet
[05:48:35] wagnerrp: just put '/bin/true' in there
[05:48:46] wagnerrp: you can fix that later once you have recording working
[05:48:51] Crankygeek01: no quotes?
[05:49:26] wagnerrp: no
[05:49:42] Crankygeek01: ok, let me try it again
[05:51:29] Crankygeek01: ok, I get video now, but no sound
[05:51:45] Crankygeek01: I think I have this hooked up wrong........
[05:52:39] Crankygeek01: I should I have the inout coming from the STB into the pvr, then the output on the pvr going to the TV...?
[05:53:05] Crankygeek01: I should I have the input*** coming from the STB into the pvr, then the output on the pvr going to the TV...?
[05:53:23] wagnerrp: the 'outputs' on that box are merely passthrough
[05:54:01] Crankygeek01: ok, so the actual video is coming through the monitor cable?
[05:54:48] wagnerrp: the video is run through your video card, if thats what youre asking
[05:54:53] Crankygeek01: yes
[05:55:04] Crankygeek01: better way of saying it
[05:56:03] Crankygeek01: well, how do I get the sound up to the TV?
[05:56:33] Crankygeek01: I am using a regular monitor cable from the video card to the vga inout on the TV
[05:56:53] wagnerrp: why not DVI/HDMI?
[05:57:00] wagnerrp: and you use the outputs on your sound card
[05:57:09] wagnerrp: unless you have a video card that supports HDMI audio
[05:57:53] Crankygeek01: I am using a nvidia 7800 series, just 2 dvi outputs

[05:58:43] wagnerrp: so use DVI, and separate audio from your sound card
[05:58:44] Crankygeek01: and the back of the TV only has a standard monitor jack on the back
[05:59:09] wagnerrp: funky...
[05:59:13] wagnerrp: old HDTV?
[05:59:26] wagnerrp: like, pre-2005?
[05:59:27] Crankygeek01: so I will need to purchase a DVI to HDMI cable?
[05:59:38] wagnerrp: does your tv have HDMI?
[05:59:49] Crankygeek01: Sony XBR
[05:59:52] Crankygeek01: yes
[06:00:11] wagnerrp: then yes, you can pick up DVI->HDMI cables for ~$5 online
[06:00:11] Crankygeek01: but the vid card doesn't have an hdmi output
[06:00:38] Crankygeek01: let me see what I have for sound inputs
[06:03:27] Crankygeek01: I am thinking I should probably invest in a better video card
[06:04:06] Crankygeek01: The TV signal was very skippy, I think the card is probably causing that

[06:06:14] wagnerrp: gt210 or 220
[06:07:35] Crankygeek01: Ahh, the video is smooth now, I had to change the resolution on the DTV box
[06:07:58] wagnerrp: eh?
[06:09:04] Crankygeek01: strange, the box is always set to 1080i, but when I switched it to 480p, the jumping stopped
[06:09:25] wagnerrp: what is your processor?
[06:09:48] Crankygeek01: AMD Athlon 64x2 3800+
[06:10:03] wagnerrp: 2.2GHz?
[06:10:19] Crankygeek01: 2.3 I think
[06:10:29] wagnerrp: that chip is going to peak out at... maybe 8–9Mbps
[06:10:40] wagnerrp: peak bitrate on the HDPVR is 13.5Mbps
[06:10:49] wagnerrp: and it scales based off the resolution of the source
[06:10:58] wagnerrp: higher the resolution of the source, higher the bitrate of the content

[06:12:35] Crankygeek01: What kind of CPU should I be looking at?
[06:14:09] wagnerrp: for software decoding? you want a modern architecture (athlon II, phenom II, core 2, core i3/5/7) at 2.5GHz or better
[06:14:19] wagnerrp: the athlons, maybe 2.7GHz or better

[17:06:02] sphery: heh, I'll keep that in mind :)
[17:06:21] skd5aner: anyway – I knew you were working on the --dd-grab-all stuff

[17:07:31] sphery: wagnerrp / iamlindoro : BTW, you'll appreciate this. On the plane home, we had in-seat entertainment computers. They had ads before 10K feet, including one for "Lone Star". The TV-on-demand had the premiere of Lone Star. Seems kind of dated...  :)
[17:07:54] sphery: skd5aner: exactly

[17:08:59] skd5aner: sphery: I'm sure he does, but he might want to update that post since it's a sticky with thousands of views
[17:09:14] sphery: I guess maybe he's still mentioning --refresh-all because of the performance/system requirements issue with --dd-grab-all
[17:09:25] sphery: Oh, I see what you mean...

[17:09:47] sphery: thanks for noticing
[17:09:50] skd5aner: np
[17:10:13] sphery: also, with --refresh-all you'd probably also want --refresh-today

[17:48:31] wagnerrp: some old DVB cards were limited in bus bandwidth, which meant they couldnt be used with higher bandwidth HD streams

[17:50:13] Roed: wagnerrp: Okay. I will try to find a new card very soon. Maybe post it here to see wheater or not you like it.. Thank you very much for the help :-)
[17:50:14] skd5aner: my startup scripts havne't worked for a while
[17:50:18] wagnerrp: tj__: is this something in the mythtv logs? or is this your startup script complaining?

[17:50:50] wagnerrp: Roed: basically, if youre recording analog, and not just watching directly, you want a hardware encoder

[17:51:42] Roed: wagnerrp: Ok. i will look for one of those on their website. Thanks
[17:52:06] wagnerrp: they no longer sell their analog only cards, only combo units with DVB-T
[17:52:22] wagnerrp: at least over here, you can pick up their older analog-only cards used very cheaply
[17:52:46] wagnerrp: or you may just want to have DVB-T for when local channels start poping up

[17:56:08] Roed: argh. and its very important?

[18:02:01] wagnerrp: you also need to add them to the same input group, so mythtv knows it cannot use both at the same time
[18:02:19] Roed: Ok.
[18:02:39] Roed: When i go into capture cards i got 1. in Input connections i got 3

[18:30:47] Nede: wagnerrp: I already have a Hauppauge HVR-400 and a technotriend 1500
[18:30:48] skd5aner: when connecting the frontend, it's extremely slow and will never play back video

[18:31:42] Nede: wagnerrp: I need to change my pentium 4 ....
[18:32:04] wagnerrp: a P4 will do all of that
[18:32:33] wagnerrp: however its a bit underperforming if you want to do hardware raid, transcoding, or commercial flagging
[18:32:46] wagnerrp: it also consumes huge amounts of power for what its capable of
[18:34:58] skd5aner: man, this really sucks... wtf is going on
[18:35:33] Nede: wagnerrp: but want to change the machine, I recommend a powerful processor core i7 or just type a core duo? ram? The powerful GPU is the only frontend or backend?
[18:35:37] Crankygeek: <wagnerrp> What did you have me type in that line last night for the channel changer, I can't remember
[18:35:54] wagnerrp: '/bin/true'

[18:36:34] wagnerrp: Nede: most of the task of the backend is to just shuffle files around
[18:37:09] wagnerrp: the scheduler, database, and guide download code all consume a lot of power, but only for short periods of the day
[18:37:32] wagnerrp: the more channels and tuners you have, the longer a scheduler run will take, and more desirable it will be to have a more powerful backend
[18:37:48] wagnerrp: then there is the jobqueue, commercial detection, transcoding, etc...
[18:37:54] wagnerrp: if you want to do those, the more power the better
[18:38:11] wagnerrp: 1GB is sufficient on a dedicated backend, 2GB is better
[18:38:17] wagnerrp: more than that, and its just going to disk cache
[18:38:29] wagnerrp: a GPU does exactly nothing on the backend
[18:38:53] skd5aner: ahhhh... here's a pretty dumb question, if I compiled mythtv with --enable-proc-opt, and now I have a new CPU, I imagine that it could have some issue running correct?

[18:43:47] wagnerrp: stoth: the only issues you may run up against is the upnp detection
[18:44:00] wagnerrp: just make sure all your systems have config.xmls set up so it doesnt

[18:44:20] Nede: sorry, one moment..
[18:45:02] Nede: I bought this card for my new frontend: Asus AT5IONT-I. I made a good buy for the frontend?
[18:45:06] wagnerrp: Nede: if you are considering converting from a pentium 4 to an Atom system, you are probably downgrading
[18:45:41] kormoc: knightr, yeah?
[18:45:42] skd5aner: hmmm, in the backend logs in mytweb it shows constant "scheduled items" entries
[18:46:07] wagnerrp: stoth: to disable upnp, you can either use '--noupnp' on the command line, or set the upnp PIN to <blank>
[18:46:22] wagnerrp: thats an impressive heatsink
[18:46:23] Nede: wagnerrp: only frontend...
[18:46:52] Nede: wagnerrp: p4 for backend....
[18:48:29] knightr: kormoc, Looks like the "Only display favorite channels:" checkbox had been checked by mistake... I dug up the query in the getChannelList (or something like that code) to check what could make the query fail and then I found this had been clicked (not on purpose)... )-;
[18:49:03] kormoc: ahh!

[18:50:51] wagnerrp: stoth: mc.sql
[18:51:03] stoth: thx
[18:51:04] wagnerrp: but to be honest, all it does it create the mythconverg table and set up default encoding
[18:51:04] tgm4883: When mythtv is scheduling, If I have a schedule that is true for 2 different channels at the same time, how does mythtv choose which one to record?
[18:51:13] tgm4883: let me clarify that
[18:51:14] wagnerrp: database, rather
[18:51:23] tgm4883: the schedule is for the same show
[18:51:58] Nede: wagnerrp: but does not decode the backend?
[18:51:59] wagnerrp: tgm4883: assuming you have no schedule or recorder priorities, i assume from the top of the list down
[18:52:09] wagnerrp: Nede: no, the backend does not decode anything
[18:52:19] Nede: ah thack
[18:52:27] Nede: ah thank
[18:52:34] tgm4883: wagnerrp, ok, thats what I was assuming too. So starting at channel 2 until it finds the first one
[18:53:00] tgm4883: basicaly I have a schedule for recording oregon football, and this week it might also be on ESPN (although likely not)
[18:53:03] stoth: whey! An "OpenCable recorder"
[18:53:10] tgm4883: "College Football: Stanford at Oregon or Washington at USC"

[18:53:40] ttist25: Hello. I'm capturing HD from my 1394 connection on my HD cable box. If I play recordings from within MythTV it's very choppy. If I navigate to the storage/recordings folder outside of myth and play those recordings they play pretty much flawlessly. I know I can change the player for videos but I can't find a concrete answer on whether I can change the default player for recordings. Can I?
[18:54:16] Nede: wagnerrp: one question: SSD? benefits for the backend or frontend or all two! Just for the know, the data for normal hd
[18:54:17] ttist25: ps – using VLC outside of myth
[18:54:26] wagnerrp: ttist25: mythtv does not support external players
[18:54:36] wagnerrp: Nede: no benefits, except higher cost
[18:54:49] Nede: ahahaha
[18:54:57] ttist25: I was afraid of that – thanks wagner
[18:55:00] tgm4883: ttist25, sounds like you need to try different playback profiles

[19:13:41] skd5aner: oooh, ahhh... make -j8 ;)
[19:13:53] wagnerrp: that processor should be able to do decoding entirely in software
[19:14:01] wagnerrp: but may struggle depending on the deint filter you use
[19:14:33] ttist25: well – like I said – it works great if I play these recordings in VLC
[19:15:02] wagnerrp: make sure you are using the proprietary nvidia drivers and xv
[19:15:02] ttist25: so – unless MythTV is using up a hell of a lot of resources – I think it should be able to handle it
[19:15:09] wagnerrp: and maybe try using bob or onefield
[19:15:11] ttist25: yep – been through that
[19:15:34] ttist25: not familiar with bob or onefield
[19:16:12] ttist25: is that something i should be looking for?
[19:16:27] wagnerrp: its in the playback profiles
[19:16:38] wagnerrp: select one, and hit 'edit' to get into the more advanced options
[19:17:47] ttist25: ok – I'm not infront of the box right now but I should look for bob or onefield?
[19:18:18] wagnerrp: those are low requirement deinterlacers
[19:18:25] ttist25: ok
[19:18:41] ttist25: and deinterlacing happens at playback time?
[19:18:52] wagnerrp: when else would it happend?
[19:19:17] ttist25: no clue boss! i'm still fumbling my way through :)
[19:19:20] skd5aner: well, in all fairness, you *could* deinterlace content before playback

[19:19:58] ttist25: I'll give those a shot

[19:21:29] ttist25: actually now that I think of it, I don't think I was in playback profiles – maybe only recording profiles

[19:23:55] wagnerrp: recording profiles are to control how you handle compression

[21:25:10] wagnerrp: sid3windr: an old P4 system is going to consume 100–150W on average
[21:25:36] wagnerrp: a modern system with power savings and clock scaling is going to be 25–50W onaverage
[21:25:56] sid3windr: yes, but how much does a watt cost, vs the cost of the atom/c2d +board+ new ram .. :)
[21:26:02] sphery: and a nice 80 PLUS PSU!
[21:26:08] wagnerrp: so depending on your parts and cost of power in your area, youre looking at 3–5 years for recovery
[21:26:09] sid3windr: hehe
[21:26:21] sid3windr: new 80 plus psu will surely add a year or two at least =)
[21:26:44] ttist25: it's not working
[21:26:53] wagnerrp: of course if youre the kind of person who actually wants to do data processing, youre looking at ROI in a few months
[21:26:57] ttist25: she's not going for it
[21:27:03] sphery: I've gotten all my 80 plus for $39.99 or less (one at $39.99, 2 at $19.99 and all the rest at $29.99)
[21:27:13] sphery: total of 9
[21:27:34] sphery: of course, it was a no brainer for me to switch--since my old ones were blowing up :)
[21:27:51] Beirdo: heh
[21:28:03] wagnerrp: sid3windr: considering that same system that runs under load 50–75W less than the P4 system is also going to crank out 3–4x the work
[21:28:24] sphery: and will run under load much less of the time
[21:28:29] wagnerrp: so youre replacing 4 machines for maybe 1/7th the power consumption
[21:28:40] sphery: and the P4 probably doesn't do any real power savings even if it does freq scaling, right?
[21:28:55] wagnerrp: sure it does
[21:28:56] sphery: meaning at load or not, it's pretty much the same power usage
[21:29:07] wagnerrp: it will clock itself down to 200MHz for the purposes of not burning up
[21:29:15] wagnerrp: but its not going to do idle clock scaling
[21:29:23] wagnerrp: the kernel doesnt have access to that
[21:29:24] sid3windr: p4 clockback does not save watts
[21:29:27] sid3windr: hehe
[21:29:34] sid3windr: yes it may be doing 4x the work
[21:29:37] sid3windr: but usually it's just doing nothing

[21:56:12] sid3windr: I have a small htpc case without fan, putting in an atom system that is passively cooled isn't a good idea, right
[21:56:49] NightMonkey: sid3windr: It Depends(tm).
[21:56:57] sid3windr: on what ? ;)
[21:57:04] sid3windr: room temperature? ;)
[21:57:08] wagnerrp: it depends on the size of your heatsink, and the open-ness of the case
[21:57:29] sid3windr: it's a big.ss heatsink I think, but the case isn't very open
[21:57:34] sid3windr: it has a vent opening above the cpu
[21:57:44] sid3windr: but it's meant to have a c2d cooler below it
[21:57:54] wagnerrp: got a drill press?

[21:58:55] sid3windr: dunno what a sheet stamp is
[21:59:02] sid3windr: google image gives sheets of stamps
[21:59:02] sid3windr: ;)
[21:59:12] wagnerrp: sheet metal stamp
[21:59:12] sid3windr: heatsink would be something like this http://www.zotacusa.com/zotac-ionitx-f-e-atom . . . erboard.html
[21:59:29] wagnerrp: a big mechanical or hydraulic press that punches holes in sheet metal
[21:59:47] sid3windr: NightMonkey: well, that would be a useful thing to have in any case I think – but We are not able to ship this item to your default shipping address.

[22:02:06] wagnerrp: why not use that tiny fan that comes with it
[22:02:12] NightMonkey: Well, something like it, anyway.
[22:02:16] sid3windr: hmm
[22:02:19] sid3windr: does that board come with a fan?
[22:02:36] Beirdo: put down the ;) bong
[22:02:39] sid3windr: oh hmm
[22:02:46] wagnerrp: sure looks like it in the pictures you posted
[22:02:51] sid3windr: well if there wasn't one included I'd probably be looking for something like it indeed
[22:02:52] wagnerrp: tiny little 60x60x10
[22:02:57] sid3windr: unless now you guys said no it's excellent without fan
[22:03:03] sid3windr: because obviously even the tiniest fan makes noise
[22:03:12] sid3windr: most tiny fans make more noise than the big ones too
[22:03:22] sid3windr: but I'm sure they won't be that crazy to bundle a 12krpm fan :P
[22:03:33] sid3windr: this pc is in the bedroom, currently on a pentium dualcore with stock intel cooler
[22:03:43] sid3windr: if I can cut down the noise some more that would be good

[22:24:53] Beirdo: I think that we should be using SetSetting() in there

[22:26:23] Beirdo: I'll create a patch locally and try it
[22:26:46] Beirdo: but the report of it running every 3h is definitely the case, and not the expected behavior
[22:27:00] Beirdo: if the setting isn't in the db, it never adds it, only updates it if it's there
[22:27:07] Beirdo: a pretty clear bug, I'd say

[22:59:59] dlonie`: Some themes don't even show which entry is highlighted, making navigation fun :-)
[23:00:17] dlonie`: Any ideas?
[23:03:03] wagnerrp: the 'highlighted' issue is one where youre using pre-release themes with a released 0.23, or visa versa
[23:03:17] wagnerrp: problems with image loads would be documented in your frontend logs
[23:04:42] dlonie`: I've tried clearing out /usr/share/mythtv and reinstall to clean old themes, but it still happens. I don't see any problems in the log other than font substitutions, but I'll look again.

[23:08:41] wagnerrp: ssh forwarding... it could be OpenGL issues
