[00:00:30] wagnerrp: chef
[00:00:51] skd5aner: ah, that'd be a good opportunity for a chef I would think!
[00:00:52] wagnerrp: its a joke... it wasnt a boat
[00:00:53] Beirdo: Phillies would be OK.

[00:37:08] wagnerrp: if video is jumpy, you are probably using the wrong playback profile
[00:38:21] Crankygeek: Not sure what you mean, what should it be set for and where would I find it?
[00:38:39] wagnerrp: should be set to 'Slim' or 'VDPAU Normal'

[00:54:50] wagnerrp: using the wrong device? what do you have set for audio output?

[00:57:02] Crankygeek: in the backend it's set to ASLA:HDMI
[00:57:25] wagnerrp: check that against what you see with `aplay`
[00:57:37] wagnerrp: the backend?
[00:57:38] wagnerrp: no...
[00:57:43] wagnerrp: the backend doesnt do playback
[00:57:45] wagnerrp: the frontend does
[00:58:26] Crankygeek: Still under the playback menu?
[00:59:04] wagnerrp: dont remember where that is off hand
[00:59:27] iamlindoro: Utilities/Setup->sEtup->General
[01:01:59] Crankygeek: I see where it is set to ALSA:HDMI, but nothing that says aplay
[01:02:12] wagnerrp: you run `aplay`, on the command line
[01:02:31] wagnerrp: it lists your available devices and interfaces
[01:02:37] Crankygeek: ahh, sorry, as you can tell, I am a noob with myth

[01:08:59] Beirdo: OK, disks attached
[01:09:42] Crankygeek: all it see is the built in Intel audio card from the motherboard
[01:09:56] wagnerrp: you are using the nvidia drivers?
[01:09:59] wagnerrp: not 'nv'?
[01:10:27] Crankygeek: I am using the recommended nVidia drivers that ubuntu installed
[01:10:44] wagnerrp: are those the proprietary nvidia drivers?
[01:10:50] Crankygeek: yes
[01:11:19] wagnerrp: what version of ubuntu?
[01:11:39] Crankygeek: I am using Mythbuntu
[01:11:55] iamlindoro: sigh
[01:12:22] Crankygeek: Is that a problem?
[01:13:02] Crankygeek: Was I better off starting with Ubuntu 10.04 LTS and installing Myth from the repositories?
[01:13:14] iamlindoro: no, but the fact that it takes asking three attempts at each question to get you to answer it is saddening
[01:13:24] iamlindoro: Good think wagnerrp is a more patient guy than I
[01:13:37] wagnerrp: no, because then you would have to tend with pulseaudio
[01:13:51] Crankygeek: Like I said, I am new to this stuff
[01:14:02] Crankygeek: Thanks for being patient though
[01:16:41] awalls: FOX is shameless
[01:17:03] awalls: Hyping television shows is not newsworthy.
[01:18:08] ** awalls wonders why he even watches tv **
[01:19:17] Crankygeek: So is there something I can do here to figure out why nVidia is not showing up in aplay?
[01:19:52] iamlindoro: Are you running a new enough version of ALSA that HDMI out from your video card is supported?
[01:19:54] wagnerrp: if it doesnt show up, its really out of our territory
[01:20:00] wagnerrp: perhaps too old a version of ALSA
[01:20:06] wagnerrp: might want to ask the #ubuntu people
[01:20:42] iamlindoro: ALSA needs to be 1.0.23 or greater to support nVidia HDMI audio, as I recall-- and even then often requires tweaks
[01:21:05] iamlindoro: And all curerntly released Ubuntu is ALSA <= 1.0.22
[01:21:19] iamlindoro: so unless you've compiled your own ALSA to get support, it's not supported
[01:22:26] Crankygeek: ok, thanks for all the help.....after I get that figured out, is there someone here that can help me with deciphering how to get my remote working with Directv?
[01:23:03] wagnerrp: as in an IR blaster?
[01:23:37] Crankygeek: yes, seeing I don't have the correct cable to go serial to USB

[02:18:25] ** NightMonkey bets on dd **
[02:18:37] steve__: Hello all, I have a question regarding routing a multihomed mythubuntu box with IPTV. With both NIC connected I can only get either internet or multicast, but never both. Tried various route commands but just no luck. Anyone willing to spend a few minutes?
[02:19:12] wagnerrp: steve__: mythbackend will only listen on one interface
[02:19:13] Shadow__X: NightMonkey: i somewhat recently discovered you can use pv in combination with dd to get speed and eta
[02:19:19] wagnerrp: but it should ba able to access content on both
[02:19:44] Beirdo: you may need to read up on multicast
[02:20:15] steve__: I have fiber to the house, and two seperate IP's assigned by the ISP, one internet only, the other IPTV only, both dhcp
[02:20:42] NightMonkey: Shadow__X: pv?
[02:20:50] steve__: I have tried 'route add -net 224.0.0.0 netmask 240.0.0.0' as suggested by some googling
[02:20:55] steve__: pv?
[02:21:02] steve__: nm
[02:21:15] NightMonkey: Shadow__X: pvmove, you mean?
[02:21:35] Shadow__X: NightMonkey: nope pv pipe viewer http://www.ivarch.com/programs/quickref/pv.shtml

[02:22:32] NightMonkey: Shadow__X: Oh. I just do a loop with kill -SIGUSR1 on dd.
[02:23:00] NightMonkey: No eta though.
[02:23:16] Shadow__X: NightMonkey: yeah its pretty neat check it out
[02:24:06] Beirdo: OK, grub now on all 6 drives
[02:24:16] Beirdo: one of em's coming out when I'm done all this
[02:24:33] Beirdo: that way if the stupid bios boots to the wrong disk, it SHOULD still boot
[02:24:59] Shadow__X: Beirdo: what are you using to sync them
[02:25:09] Beirdo: md
[02:25:17] Beirdo: on a running system

[02:27:12] Beirdo: syncing off the old drive to a new one... 25–30MB/s

[02:30:26] NightMonkey: Man, downsizing is everywhere. Even here.
[02:30:26] Beirdo: the other 300G already died on Sunday
[02:32:47] Beirdo: doing /var/lib/mysql will be easy

[03:42:33] iamlindoro: heh
[03:42:45] wagnerrp: actually, hes got a server farm of old P3s in his basement, couldnt he use those for some form of distributed decoding?
[03:42:56] wagnerrp: you know, like send chunks of video out tens of seconds in advance
[03:43:09] wagnerrp: and have them return the raw video?
[03:43:41] iamlindoro: heh, he can just kvm between each screen every three seconds to catch the next clip
[03:44:08] wagnerrp: surely that would be a grand use of 2kW
[03:44:15] wagnerrp: its winter now, has to heat his home somehow
[03:45:27] wagnerrp: Beirdo: do you actually have an rsync server set up? or are you just using it instead of `cp` for the progress indicator?
[03:45:54] Beirdo: hmm?
[03:46:05] Beirdo: no, I'm syncing using md
[03:46:08] wagnerrp: you said you were shuffling stuff around with rsync

[03:47:23] sphery: yeah, but doesn't show how much longer it will take
[03:47:28] Beirdo: had to bounce a pile of stuff
[03:47:39] Beirdo: it was only 770MB of crap to rsync
[03:48:25] sphery: ah, that wouldn't take too long
[03:48:42] sphery: for my 1TB moves, I have to do --progress or I go crazy trying to schedule things
[03:48:47] Beirdo: hehe
[03:49:00] Beirdo: well, most of the heavy moving is md's problem
[03:49:10] sphery: mine?
[03:49:12] sphery: :)
[03:49:15] Beirdo: I needed that rsync so I could umount /dev/md1
[03:49:20] Beirdo: to shrink it
[03:49:24] sphery: I've never heard of (the other) md
[03:49:39] sphery: oh, wait, like multiple-device md?
[03:49:43] Beirdo: yes
[03:49:46] jk-: how about unix domain sockets?
[03:49:52] Beirdo: these are all raid1 software raid
[03:49:53] sphery: Ah, I thought it was some kind of dd replacement
[03:50:02] Beirdo: jk-: what about them?
[03:50:26] jk-: Beirdo: the new var will not have the old sockets present
[03:50:36] Beirdo: as I said, I had to bounce a bunch of daemons when I did the mount -M
[03:50:40] jk-: ah :)
[03:51:08] Beirdo: mysql, cron, atd, syslog, postfix, apache, xrdp
[03:51:09] sphery: I could never move a file system that's in use by a running system
[03:51:20] sphery: I always take the simple approach and just use a boot/root disk
[03:51:28] Beirdo: hehe
[03:51:29] Beirdo: wuss
[03:51:30] Beirdo: :)
[03:51:44] sphery: Yeah, that's what separates the sys admins from hacks like me
[03:51:47] Beirdo: you do it the smart way
[03:51:55] sphery: good thing no one expects me to be a sys admin :)
[03:51:57] Beirdo: this is risky and messy
[03:52:03] sphery: heh
[03:52:30] Beirdo: but until I dropped mysql and tried to get it back up... the backend was hunky dory

[04:04:05] Beirdo: it's not single-threaded
[04:04:20] Beirdo: clearly

[04:05:32] Beirdo: I'm running commflag at max cpu, not niced, BTW

[04:39:30] Beirdo: hehe
[04:39:37] Beirdo: we both are nuts :)
[04:41:45] wagnerrp: no, i just have to remove these drives from this machine
[04:41:50] wagnerrp: to allow it to boot properly
[04:41:56] wagnerrp: and the other backend doesnt do zfs
[04:42:11] Beirdo: zfs can be a pain :)
[04:42:23] Beirdo: a good pain though
[04:42:36] Beirdo: computers so suck
[04:42:47] wagnerrp: the only fault is sometimes its /too/ automated
[04:42:54] stoth: zfs peaked my interest a couple of years ago. Is it stable under Linux now? Production worthy?
[04:43:03] Beirdo: not available in Linux
[04:43:08] wagnerrp: so you cant forcefully fix something like the 4k sector issue on EARS drives
[04:43:17] wagnerrp: not natively anyway... there is a FUSE program to mount it
[04:43:21] Beirdo: you can compile it yourself if ya want
[04:43:35] Beirdo: it's "open source" but not GPL-compatible
[04:43:42] stoth: last I heard the only stable platform was solaris
[04:43:53] Beirdo: so nobody will be distributing it for Linux
[04:44:13] Beirdo: it's in FreeBSD too, wagnerrp could comment on stability
[04:45:51] Beirdo: I like the concept.
[04:46:01] Beirdo: we use it at work with Solaris
[04:46:31] Beirdo: but... right now, my biggest need would be for video storage in myth, and JBOD + SG works for that :)
[04:46:47] wagnerrp: fbsd 7.0 had it, but it had some issues
[04:46:56] wagnerrp: 8.0/8.1 has a much improved version
[04:47:16] Beirdo: and now that opensolaris is a goner...
[04:47:25] Beirdo: I may want to try nexenta
[04:47:43] Beirdo: goner, although open... heh
[04:47:55] wagnerrp: but zfs wants a pretty beefy machine
[04:48:05] wagnerrp: of course 'beefy' is relative, and any modern system can run it fine
[04:48:07] Beirdo: yah
[04:48:12] Beirdo: depends on mode though
[04:48:37] wagnerrp: well of course Z takes a lot of power, and Z2 considerably more
[04:48:41] Beirdo: if you are doing the RAID5 equivalent (RAIDZ?) it would need more, I bet
[04:48:47] wagnerrp: but i mean as far as memory, the more the better
[04:48:50] Beirdo: yeah
[04:49:05] wagnerrp: 4GB is recommended minimum
[04:49:12] Beirdo: heh
[04:49:35] Beirdo: I'll pass for now
[04:49:40] stoth: Beirdo: opensolaris has been pulled from circulation?
[04:49:41] wagnerrp: basically, it does windows-style data prefetch, and heavy caching
[04:49:48] wagnerrp: much of which is disabled by default under 4GB
[04:50:12] Beirdo: stoth: not sure if they removed it from the site, but they have canceled any Sun/Oracle support, last I heard
[04:50:13] wagnerrp: ive not had significant trouble running it on my 2GB server
[04:50:38] Beirdo: i.e. the guys who were being paid to work on it are no longer in that position, I would guess
[04:51:00] Beirdo: and being Oracle... heh

[05:09:56] wagnerrp: thats awful... like 32MB/s
[05:10:40] wagnerrp: i dont know if its slow because of the source drives? (ancient 300GBs) or the destination (4K WD EARS Green)

[05:11:09] Beirdo: 300GB can't be all THAT ancient

[09:15:27] pak0: when you start to record one channel, and jump to watch another on same multiplex, you have the problem of very poor signal strenght, but if you jump to another input and select the same channel, the problem is solved
[09:15:56] pak0: i try ti to set up only one channel recording for input on setup, but the problem persist and then you cannot change to another input
[09:19:11] lyricnz: thanks for your help the other day guys. I've still got a couple of problems to solve, that would be great :)
[09:20:14] justinh: pak0: sounds like you need to enable the LNA
[09:20:57] justinh: for some obscure reason the optimum mode of operation (i.e. with LNA activated) isn't the default in the driver – or at least wasn't for a considerable time
[09:21:14] justinh: IIRC the modprobe option is force_lna=1

[09:23:09] pak0: hmm
[09:23:14] pak0: /etc/modprobe?
[09:23:26] justinh: pak0: varies according to distro
[09:23:28] lyricnz: channel scanner finds channel 9 (all channels on that multiplex), but cannot livetv or record it. fails.
[09:23:52] justinh: pak0: on *buntu it's /etc/modprobe.d/options
[09:24:09] lyricnz: and the "media server" part doesn't seem to be working 100% – my popcorn hour, xbox 360, and ps3 can all see the server, but not the content
[09:24:19] lyricnz: any clues, on either issue?
[09:24:19] justinh: pak0: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=880830 looks sensible
[09:24:49] justinh: lyricnz: xbox360 won't play a lot of the content myth can serve anyway – i.e. mpeg recordings
[09:25:14] lyricnz: yeah, I'm thinking the videos+music in particular, not just the recordings
[09:25:50] lyricnz: all seem to "sortof work" (ie: can see the volumes, but not the media), or something like that – I can reproduce if someone has things I should be looking for
[09:25:54] justinh: I've not had much experience playing with upnp but the things I've tried it with (O2 joggler & some software apps in windows machines) have worked just fine
[09:26:38] justinh: lyricnz: AFAIK it should all 'just work' if you can see the upnp server at all – even if whatever you're using can't play the stuff you should still see it all
[09:27:29] lyricnz: yeah, hmm, didn't work like that for me. probably some bust config, since the box has been through every myth version over last 8 years or so
[09:27:47] lyricnz: though i think it got reinstalled from scratch about 5 years ago
[09:28:10] justinh: lyricnz: what I mean is, it won't be busted mythtv config since you can only enable or disable the upnp server
[09:28:48] justinh: if the content works in mythtv it should be ok on the upnp side too
[09:29:36] lyricnz: my frontend mounts the mythvideo directory which is exported by samba. is that kind of nonsense not needed anymore?
[09:29:39] justinh: unless you need to do something on your router or whatever.. but then if it was that I'd expect you wouldn't be able to even see the server
[09:30:02] justinh: lyricnz: it's mythbackend which does the upnp serving not mythfrontend

[09:30:21] pak0: thank you justinh, but dont solved my problem
[09:30:38] justinh: pak0: you'd have to reload the module of course
[09:30:46] lyricnz: you said "if the content works in mythtv" <=== presumably talking about the frontend "working"
[09:31:07] justinh: i.e. stop mythbackend, reload the module with the correct option, then restart mythbackend
[09:31:25] pak0: i have restarted all my computer
[09:31:52] pak0: but stills the same, i have to select another input manually and then i can watch and record two channels on same multiplex w/o poor signal
[09:32:14] justinh: pak0: maybe your signal is just crud then
[09:32:25] justinh: pak0: but check the LNA is actually enabled with modinfo
[09:32:38] justinh: modinfo dvb-usb-dib0700
[09:33:01] pak0: colud not find module
[09:33:03] pak0: argggg
[09:33:08] justinh: pak0: i.e. the signal is good enough for one tuner but not the other
[09:33:32] lyricnz: justinh: it could be a storage-group vs non-storage-group issue. my system predates storage groups, so they're not used for video etc
[09:33:44] pak0: sorry, miss key
[09:33:45] justinh: even a 2-way splitter (internal to the card) isn't always an equal split
[09:34:04] justinh: lyricnz: I dunno. it worked even before I used SGs
[09:34:33] justinh: lyricnz: and in any case SGs aren't in place for music yet :)
[09:34:46] pak0: http://pastebin.com/CxFTPqqe
[09:34:47] justinh: lyricnz: ah – you of course need to tell the backend machine where the stuff is
[09:35:23] lyricnz: uh, it has directories configured directly, I suppose. it must do, that's where all the metadata is right?
[09:35:45] justinh: the metadata is always in the database
[09:36:01] pak0: is correct my pastebin?
[09:36:19] justinh: pak0: seems modinfo doesn't report what is actually loaded
[09:36:45] justinh: dmesg might know

[09:40:58] justinh: or maybe even cat /sys/module/dvb-usb-dib0700/parameters/force_lna_activation
[09:41:42] justinh: if that answers 0 then the LNA isn't activated – i.e. the modprobe.d/options file didn't do its thing

[10:32:02] pak0: watch one channel and record another on same multiplex

[10:34:24] Peitolm: where did you get that error?
[10:34:54] pak0: because i do modprobe
[10:34:59] pak0: is mine error
[10:35:06] pak0: what i have to do?
[10:35:21] Peitolm: so you got that error when you tried to modprobe
[10:35:25] Peitolm: yes?
[10:35:36] Peitolm: please copy and paste the command line you ran wth modprobe
[10:35:49] pak0: i do modprobe force_lna_activation and get fatal error

[10:38:39] Peitolm: try your recording and watching again

[10:39:27] Peitolm: if that fails, then run 'rmmod dvb-usb-dib0700 && modprobe dvb-usb-dib0700 force_lna_activation=1' and retry
[10:39:46] pak0: it seems to work
[10:39:50] pak0: fine now!
[10:39:53] pak0: hmm
[10:39:59] pak0: nop, a little poor signal return
[10:40:15] pak0: recording one channel and wathing another on same multiplex
[10:41:06] Peitolm: o.k., stop the record and watch, try the rmmod command above and then re-test
[10:41:09] pak0: very very poor signal problem
[10:41:31] pak0: w/o restart?
[10:42:52] Peitolm: yes
[10:43:20] Peitolm: the rmmod should work as long as nothing else is accessing the device, (so you may need to stop the backend temporarily
[10:44:09] pak0: at this moment im recording one and watching another w/o poor signal problem
[10:44:26] pak0: and two on same multiplex
[10:44:54] pak0: what i have to do for fix that them? if i restart now the problem return really?
[10:45:05] justinh: how do you *know* it's a signal problem?
[10:45:10] pak0: the only i have do it now its the rmmod and modprobe
[10:45:25] justinh: but for one thing you should force_lna_activation for that card all the time anyway
[10:45:29] pak0: i can watch all my channels very fine
[10:45:42] pak0: and record one and watch another on another multiplex w/o problems
[10:45:44] justinh: what does femon -a 1 say when you think the signal is poor?

[10:49:25] pak0: yes
[10:49:44] justinh: eew
[10:49:56] justinh: so adapter 1 is having problems
[10:50:25] justinh: they're not necessarily both tuned to the same frequency though
[10:50:30] pak0: that card have two inputs for external cable, but for diverity tecnology
[10:50:48] pak0: maybe i have to test it with two cables on my card?
[10:51:09] pak0: but at this time, test it with only one and work, after i do rmmod and modprobe
[10:52:21] justinh: it shouldn't matter
[10:54:53] pak0: after i have run 'rmmod dvb-usb-dib0700 && modprobe dvb-usb-dib0700 force_lna_activation=1' and retry
[10:55:07] pak0: now i can watch and record two channels on same multiplex
[10:55:17] pak0: and have the option on /modprobe.d/option
[10:55:30] pak0: i have to do anything more or when i restart i loss that?
[10:55:40] justinh: sigh
[10:56:06] justinh: I hate ubuntu for its habit of messing around with config files
[10:56:23] pak0: me too
[10:56:36] pak0: is better to jump to another distribution for use mythttv?
[10:56:48] pak0: i would jump if is the best solution too
[10:56:54] justinh: I think the options file might be called /etc/modprobe.d/options.conf
[10:57:15] justinh: if your file is called that it should be ok as far as I know
[10:57:36] pak0: just restarted my computer and testing now
[10:57:44] pak0: this is very common on ubuntu
[10:58:08] pak0: you have sound on spidf, two weeks before, you jump to the new version of ubuntu, and then dont have sound xD
[10:58:40] Peitolm: might be worth checking that your module is being loaded with the correct option, and you don't have to do something like modules-update
[10:58:49] pak0: i remember one year ago fighting with one dvb-t i dont remember the name, the card is loaded and tune fine, on next update, break it xD
[10:59:01] justinh: or you could modify /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf – put the line dvb-usb-dib0700 in there, then ADD the line dvb-usb-dib0700 force_lna_activation=1 so it always gets loaded with that option
[10:59:17] pak0: now i have restarted my computer and i m wathing and recording two channels on same multiplex
[10:59:22] justinh: that would stop the module being loaded automatically – and then would later load it with the option you want
[10:59:22] pak0: its seems to work
[10:59:37] justinh: I said all along you absolutely need that lna option enabled
[11:00:24] pak0: the only i have do it its set on modprobe.d/options the force_load option, restart and dont work, shutdown and dont work, do it one rmmodprobe and run 'rmmod dvb-usb-dib0700 && modprobe dvb-usb-dib0700 force_lna_activation=1' and retry and work very fine at this moment
[11:00:43] justinh: there might be a good reason why the option isn't enabled by default but surely the driver could detect which card it is & *always* enable the LNA for it
[11:00:46] pak0: and just restarted and stills working
[11:01:09] justinh: pak0: maybe ask in #ubuntu for a way to force a module to load with options

[16:43:02] skd5aner: iamlindoro: did you ever see the video where Bowser's minions complain about how easy it should be to kill Mario but they have all these dumb rules that Bowser gave them so it makes it easy for Mario to kill them?
[16:43:05] Beirdo: wonder how it got to be NULL, but still, we should be checking before dereference :)
[16:43:13] skd5aner: heh – I think it was on collegehumor
[16:43:47] iamlindoro: Beirdo: I think mark should make the determination, though, as it's possible that there's a deeper issue-- it's likely that the decoder should *never* be NULL, or that it's checked elsewhere
[16:44:20] Beirdo: and also GetDecoder() is silly when all it does is uses the "decoder" from within the class... why we use the public method internally is beyond me
[16:44:23] Beirdo: yeah
[16:44:32] Beirdo: the real problem is how the decoder is NULL
[16:44:51] Beirdo: but we can expect these crashes until we religiously null-check things :)
[16:45:54] Beirdo: wonder what got borked...
[16:46:32] iamlindoro: Almost certainly that the channel failed to tune, thus there was no data, thus no way to get a decoder

[16:48:16] iamlindoro: The FE log indicates that it can't read from the RB and that peek returned an error condition-- granted, we shouldn't be attempting to get the encoding type when tuning failed, but the fundamental issue is the failure to get working data (which appears to possibly be a RingBuffer or socket problem)
[16:48:51] Beirdo: maybe a broken signal monitor?
[16:49:17] Beirdo: I dunno. need coffee, and off to a pointless training session
[16:49:22] iamlindoro: I don't think so, the ringbuffer is failing in private functions
[16:50:26] Beirdo: I'm sure we'll run it to the ground. Odd that it doesn't happen to more people, but we have plenty of race condition/signal dependent behavior to send us insane.

[16:51:39] iamlindoro: But again, that's just the symptom, not the cause
[16:51:53] Beirdo: maybe it's trying to update the OSD before it has valid signal?
[16:52:04] iamlindoro: Not according to the logs
[16:52:31] iamlindoro: Yes, there is a small bug exposed in that the playback stuff is attempting to operate on a null recording, but it's the null recording and ringbuffer failure that's the real bug
[16:52:56] Beirdo: quite likely so
[16:53:28] Beirdo: should be able to fix the symptom at least, but that's not ideal... be nice to fix the problem
[16:54:16] Beirdo: do surgery and remove the tumor rather than applying another band-aid as it were

[17:04:39] wagnerrp: version 0.24.0 has not been released
[17:04:50] iamlindoro: tell your packager to fix their install of the python bindings and metadata scripts
[17:04:54] waza-ari: according to my dpkg it is 0.24.0
[17:04:55] kormoc_afk is now known as kormoc
[17:05:03] wagnerrp: there is no 0.24 branch
[17:05:09] iamlindoro: whatever your packager chooses to call it, there's still no .24
[17:05:11] wagnerrp: there is trunk
[17:05:35] waza-ari: hm. in mythbuntu it is called 0.24 :)
[17:05:40] wagnerrp: iamlindoro: do errors from the grabbers get printed to the logs?
[17:05:56] iamlindoro: wagnerrp: no
[17:06:07] iamlindoro: but the command being run is
[17:06:20] iamlindoro: which can be cut, pasted, and inspected
[17:06:59] waza-ari: what is the command?
[17:07:10] wagnerrp: waza-ari: run 'select data,hostname from settings where value like "mythvideo.%Grabber";' in mysql
[17:07:21] wagnerrp: see what is defined as your metadata grabbers
[17:07:26] iamlindoro: wagnerrp: That won't matter
[17:07:31] iamlindoro: Those settings aren't used any more
[17:07:32] wagnerrp: then run those paths directly, and see if they error
[17:07:35] wagnerrp: oh?
[17:07:40] iamlindoro: nope
[17:07:47] iamlindoro: Haven't been since the generic metadata stuff went in
[17:07:49] wagnerrp: then i need to fix where theyre pulled from in the bindings
[17:08:21] iamlindoro: Ideally the bindings can have a default value, since there's presently no way to *set* the new values either
[17:08:32] iamlindoro: since there's only one compliant TV grabber, and one compliant Movie grabber
[17:08:54] wagnerrp: i would have to adjust the installer to statically define the PREFIX to make that work
[17:08:58] wagnerrp: certainly do-able
[17:09:17] wagnerrp: either that, or have them work it out from where they are installed
[17:09:30] iamlindoro: "TelevisionGrabber" and "MovieGrabber" are the settings
[17:09:42] iamlindoro: anyway, his settings of those are fine (since it's just using the defaults, as everyone is)
[17:09:50] iamlindoro: his problem is mismatched scripts and bindings
[17:09:56] iamlindoro: because of packager screw ups

[17:14:12] wagnerrp: install from source
[17:14:17] iamlindoro: You're using trunk (the development code) so if you aren't able to properly compile and install myth yourself (in which case it would work fine) then you are at their mercy
[17:14:55] ** tgm4883 pops his head in **
[17:15:04] wagnerrp: trunk exists for development, not for use
[17:15:23] waza-ari: yeah, alright. I have no problem compiling it myself, but why compile, if there are packages out there?

[17:15:38] tgm4883: mismatched scripts/binding?
[17:15:54] waza-ari: wagnerrp: yeah, but 0.24 has some nice new feautures, such as mass metadata grabbing...
[17:16:03] wagnerrp: the packages only exist for testing their package system
[17:16:25] wagnerrp: getting it working with changes in trunk, testing new things
[17:16:31] tgm4883: wagnerrp, there is a password required for installation now. So people will at least have to read the warnings
[17:16:36] wagnerrp: heh
[17:16:47] ThisOtherGuy: iamlindoro: any idea why it only shows up when I'm on a show and not when I'm on the show group?
[17:17:09] tgm4883: the password is in the text, so it's not difficult to get. But they will at least know to expect breakage

[17:40:02] wagnerrp: how long ago did you upgrade to trunk?
[17:40:31] waza-ari: i just upgraded today
[17:40:43] wagnerrp: then you should have a database backup you can recover from

[17:41:43] waza-ari: whats the default path to store them? cannot remember the path myth displayed me...
[17:42:09] wagnerrp: i think it will store to the Backups storage group if one is defined
[17:42:17] wagnerrp: otherwise placing it in one of the Default groups
[17:48:40] Saviq_afk is now known as Saviq
[17:52:02] waza-ari: where do i find the groups? ...
[17:52:31] wagnerrp: mythtv-setup
[17:53:34] waza-ari: i cannot start mythtv-setup because of the database issue...
[17:53:43] sphery: right, it falls back to one of the directories in the default storage group
[17:53:51] sphery: so look in your recordings directories for a .sql.gz file
[17:53:53] wagnerrp: select * from storagegroup;
[17:54:11] wagnerrp: mythbuntu stuffs then in /var somewhere
[17:54:15] wagnerrp: /var/db/mythtv or something
[17:54:16] sphery: you most likely don't have a backup sg set up

[18:02:20] Beirdo: i can hopefully finish the latest round of upgrades on the backend box tonight
[18:02:27] wagnerrp: you can make filesystem snapshots
[18:02:36] sphery: wagnerrp: oh, ... was going to say you can tell the backup script what filename to use
[18:02:42] wagnerrp: and then you can 'send' those snapshots, or the differences between one snapshot to another, to a file
[18:02:53] sphery: got it\
[18:02:55] Beirdo: have a COW, man
[18:03:05] sphery: definitely outside my aoe
[18:03:22] wagnerrp: the problem is that it requires the destination to be an exact duplicate of the source for it to work
[18:03:24] wagnerrp: names included
[18:03:38] wagnerrp: and if you change the names, you cant just change them back

[18:03:52] Beirdo: this reminds me of hearing the now ex-wife whining about Veritas doing similar crap

[18:05:01] wagnerrp: waza-ari: the backups are named against their schema

[18:05:14] Beirdo: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001LMY3MM/
[18:05:21] waza-ari: yeah, there is none with 1254 in the name

[18:09:20] wagnerrp: if youre not recording tv, why are you running mythtv?
[18:09:38] Beirdo: wagnerrp: you sure that processor's dual channel? it uses DDR3

[18:10:08] Beirdo: hah
[18:10:11] wagnerrp: Beirdo: the 3 in DDR3 doesnt mean triple channel

[18:10:16] Beirdo: idiotic
[18:10:22] waza-ari: so... without some movies in mythvideo there is nothing to recover

[18:37:37] Beirdo: you can use || too, BTW
[18:37:50] Beirdo: i.e. run the second command only if the first one failed
[18:37:56] wagnerrp: trumee: is it an MCE variant?
[18:38:07] trumee: wagnerrp: that is what i dont know.
[18:38:19] trumee: wagnerrp: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewIt . . . 120630220778
[18:38:44] wagnerrp: yes, that has an FM tuner
[18:38:55] trumee: wagnerrp: enlarging the picture doesnt say MCE
[18:38:57] Beirdo: but... I want an AM tuner
[18:39:00] Beirdo: hhe
[18:39:08] skd5aner: wagnerrp: did you say you're going to rewrite MythFM? :)
[18:39:15] wagnerrp: the MCE variants come with FM tuners, they also come with RCA L/R audio, instead of a 1/8" jack
[18:39:16] trumee: wagnerrp: MCE versions dont have radio tuners?
[18:39:34] wagnerrp: nope, never used FM, nor do i have an FM capable tuner card
[18:39:58] skd5aner: that shouldn't stop you ;)
[18:40:18] trumee: wagnerrp: so there is no difference between MCE and non-MCE cards wrt fm tuner?
[18:40:31] wagnerrp: the vanilla -150s have no FM tuner
[18:40:36] Beirdo: I'd like to use the FM in my HVR-2250 sometime, but it's not supported yet, and really, it's not much of a priority
[18:41:22] trumee: wagnerrp: any idea what those 3 jacks on one end are?
[18:42:08] wagnerrp: [14:39] <wagnerrp> the MCE variants come with FM tuners, they also come with RCA L/R audio, instead of a 1/8" jack
[18:42:27] trumee: wagnerrp: so that card is an MCE variant?
[18:42:38] wagnerrp: in other words... those are the distinguishing characteristics of the MCE cards
[18:42:42] trumee: wagnerrp: doesnt say that on the card though
[18:42:55] awalls: The yellow one is video.
[18:43:00] awalls: It's MCE.
[18:43:14] wagnerrp: yeah, but the vanilla ones have the yellow jack too

[18:43:30] Beirdo: how about the chocolate ones?
[18:43:53] ThisNewGuy: Anyone know if there's a way to have jamu download new images (e.g. for a new season of a show or if the most popular image changes)?
[18:43:59] trumee: wagnerrp: i plan to replace my wintv-250 with this card since wintv-250 doesnt have radio tuner
[18:44:27] awalls: ivtv-radio is your only option for FM-radio at the moment with a pvr-150
[18:44:31] wagnerrp: why would you want to run radio through your TV speakers?

[18:47:00] awalls: Um no.
[18:47:19] awalls: You're using the MPEG encoder chip to pass along PCM audio.
[18:47:22] trumee: awalls: uh oh!. so i cant do both together?
[18:47:24] awalls: Yay.
[18:47:29] wagnerrp: trumee: no, you either need to lock the tuner through mythprotocol so mythtv wont use it
[18:47:36] waza-ari: Hey again... after restoring the database mythtv does not start anymore. The frontend log says "Connection to master server timed out" (localhost:6543). But ps -ax shows the backend process running on this machine... any ideas?
[18:47:44] wagnerrp: or you need to call the program from the mythtv menu with EXEC_TUNER
[18:47:47] wagnerrp: so mythtv pulls that tuner
[18:47:52] awalls: trumee: correct (on the same pvr-150 card)
[18:47:55] trumee: wagnerrp, awalls: uh. crap, so it is no longer a choice then.
[18:48:06] Beirdo: awalls: it doesn't even MPEG encode the audio?
[18:48:21] Beirdo: how unfortunate
[18:48:36] trumee: i bought a usb fm tuner, but there is so much interefence that it hardly picks up the signal
[18:48:38] awalls: Well the anaolg tuner can only tune to one of FM, Low VHF, High VUF and UHF at a time.
[18:48:59] awalls: EMI from a PC is horrible.
[18:49:06] Beirdo: yes, but it sounded like you were saying the radio interface would pass on PCM, not MPEG audio?
[18:49:12] awalls: you'll want a good antenn far from the PC.
[18:49:22] awalls: Beirdo: YEs PCM audio
[18:49:33] Beirdo: awww. :)
[18:49:48] Beirdo: makes sense though, show up as an ALSA device, essentially?
[18:49:53] awalls: I suppose there might be a way to horse the driver into compressing it into an MPEG container with no vide.
[18:50:03] wagnerrp: well to be fair, isnt it like 12-bit, 22kHz audio?
[18:50:18] awalls: But why,? PCM is small.
[18:50:24] awalls: 48 ksps
[18:50:28] wagnerrp: i thought the quality you get from FM is fairly poor
[18:50:31] Beirdo: true true
[18:50:45] wagnerrp: 48kbps, so quarter CD quality
[18:50:48] Beirdo: but if I wanted to capture to a file, I'd want MP3 :)

[18:51:19] awalls: ivtv needs an ivtv-alsa module written for it.
[18:51:36] awalls: HVR-1600: DTV and FM radio
[18:51:39] trumee: i only have two pci slots and both have pvr-250 in them
[18:51:41] Beirdo: awalls: cool, good to know
[18:52:06] awalls: LEadTek PVR-3100 H (?) for you DVB-T guys
[18:52:07] trumee: awalls: i have analog cable streams so no DTV.
[18:52:10] Beirdo: if some decade we make something for FM recording in myth, it's good to know the options
[18:52:30] Beirdo: still dunno how the scheduling could/would work for that
[18:52:42] trumee: awalls: i need a card which can play analog cable stream and fm radio simultaneously
[18:52:43] awalls: Oops, no wait the LeadTek card shares an XC3028 tuner between both analog and DTV.
[18:53:00] Beirdo: does the PVR-500 have FM?
[18:53:05] awalls: truemee PVR-500 MCE
[18:53:35] awalls: Yeah, I think only the first of the two analog tuners will do radio on a PVR-500MCE
[18:53:50] skd5aner: Isaac was always against FM in mythtv
[18:53:50] awalls: IIRC some comments in the ivtv driver code properly
[18:53:52] Beirdo: but it would have the desired affect, I'd bet
[18:54:09] Beirdo: skd5aner: yeah, well...
[18:54:10] skd5aner: not to say that couldn't change, but his reasoning was that there's no data behind it – no scheduler, etc
[18:54:19] Beirdo: there can be
[18:54:26] trumee: awalls: so i can use pvr-500 for simultaneous radio and video streams? and it is well supported under mythtv?
[18:54:44] awalls: PVR-150 MPEG video capture is
[18:54:45] skd5aner: just repeating the party line Beirdo, not necesarily marching in line ;)
[18:54:57] Beirdo: after all, I have iPhone app that can find some of that info... there are some scheduling sources, however useful they may be
[18:55:11] awalls: PVR-500 I mean
[18:55:22] awalls: PVR-500 FM radio: ivtv-radio
[18:55:38] devinheitmueller: None of those cards will do simultaneous analog video capture and FM capture (since they share the same audio decoder)
[18:55:53] awalls: If it matters to any MythTV dev's I like haveing a nice UI for FM radio.
[18:56:07] Beirdo: devinheitmueller: the PVR-500 would as it's two encoders, I'd think
[18:56:13] devinheitmueller: Well, in that case, yet.
[18:56:13] awalls: devinheitmueller: PVR-500 has two AV decoders.
[18:56:15] devinheitmueller: yes.
[18:56:17] skd5aner: You know, there are song identification services out there – you could apply that to radio recorded data – almost like "commflagging" to identify what got recorded
[18:56:24] devinheitmueller: The PVR-500 will, because it has two decoders.

[18:58:57] trumee: it has got Yellow, White and Red ports, any idea what that means?
[18:59:05] skd5aner: hmmm, that would be cool to use a song fingerprint service to "tag" a radio recording... but I wonder if any of that is "open" or exposed at all
[18:59:06] jams: then they overheat and start producing crappy blocky streams
[18:59:23] jams: unless you put a fan on them
[18:59:35] Beirdo: jams.... fans are cheap... you need better ventilation :)
[18:59:45] wagnerrp: awalls: IMHO, all of that should be consumed by mythmusic, or otherwise be in some separate UI for dealing with all sorts of audio streams
[18:59:49] jams: no..it has to be a big fan
[19:00:04] jams: a very big fan
[19:00:05] wagnerrp: lump FM radio in with pandora, lastfm, podcasts, whatever
[19:00:23] Beirdo: wagnerrp: stop making sense :)
[19:00:44] skd5aner: yea, I wouldn't think, if it were integrated, it shouldn't be seperate
[19:00:51] wagnerrp: i know paul is current rewriting mythmusic, but i dont know what his intentions are as far as streaming content
[19:00:56] skd5aner: just like video is going towards the consolidated approach
[19:01:00] skd5aner: audio consolidation make sense
[19:01:10] iamlindoro: His intention is to have "pluggable" streaming sources as I understand it
[19:01:16] iamlindoro: see the already-written shoutcast code in svn
[19:01:32] skd5aner: yea, I think he commited a large portion of the old eskil shoutcast streaming patches
[19:01:40] skd5aner: at least to help him with the underlying framework
[19:02:06] iamlindoro: Basically a new module inherits from MusicIODevice, which is like any "file" device or ringbuffer

[19:45:02] dewman: mythmusic would really be slick if it could be built to play the music from digital cable. Instead of having the channels in the channel listings for tv have it list the music channels in mythmusic....Just an idea.. I have no idea if thats possible or not...
[19:46:09] ThisNewGuy: RDV_Linux: Thanks
[19:46:33] wagnerrp: yes, you could in theory have it set up to manage a livetv chain, limiting access to a subset of audio-only channels
[19:49:34] Beirdo: heh, the only clear QAM channels on the cable provider I had in PR... were the audio channels.
[19:49:56] Beirdo: then the air2pc (which sucks at QAM anyways) died

[19:52:54] iamlindoro: SANE. DEFAULTS. PEOPLE.
[19:53:10] wagnerrp: dewman: better would be an option in the channel editor for 'audio only'
[19:53:19] wagnerrp: if its audio only, it shows up in mythmusic
[19:53:25] wagnerrp: if otherwise, it shows up in normal tv
[19:53:28] iamlindoro: Putting music-only channels in MythMusic is fine. Leaving then in TV is fine. Adding checkboxes for everyone is NOT FINE.
[19:54:02] sphery: +1 on sane defaults
[19:54:10] wagnerrp: the problem is that most of those channels, at least the ones ive seen, are not 'audio only'
[19:54:24] wagnerrp: they have some nearly static mpeg image
[19:54:30] Beirdo: yeah
[19:54:31] sphery: and it's still infinitely configurable--i.e. everyone gets the source, so they can change their local copies if they feel the need :)
[19:54:53] wagnerrp: you could have some check where if the video bitrate is below some amount, make it an audio channel
[19:55:33] sphery: but that doesn't help for WMFE-ENC, which is turned into what you've defined as an "audio channel" during primetime
[19:55:38] sphery: so if I scan at the wrong time...
[19:55:55] wagnerrp: well like i said, that would just be fore the default setting
[19:55:58] sphery: (it's the encore channel on my PBS, where they re-broadcast stuff that was HDTV in primetime)
[19:56:19] sphery: yeah, that would be ok
[19:56:39] sphery: but like you said before, should be configurable
[19:56:53] wagnerrp: have 'visible' and 'audio only', one would define where it shows up, the other whether is shows up at all

[19:57:36] iamlindoro: Don't even need to resort to a bitrate trick, since there's no videa stream
[19:57:43] sphery: audio/hidden/...
[19:58:13] wagnerrp: iamlindoro: oh? i figured it was an mpeg stream with a bunch of blank P frames

[19:59:49] iamlindoro: In fact, only in this dev cycle did we finally start handling those channels nicely
[20:01:07] iamlindoro: And the scanner actually used to check for the still picture flag to determine audio only-- and still does ttbomk-- we just don't do anything useful with that info once we've got it
[20:03:01] skd5aner: what about things that come through an STB, like "Music Choice" or Sirus XM on DirecTV, which could go through an HD-PVR – no way to easily "scan" that
[20:03:35] iamlindoro: Music choice is exactly what I've been talking about
[20:03:47] iamlindoro: it's just a stupid marketing name for a channel with still_picture toggled to on
[20:03:54] skd5aner: yup
[20:03:54] wagnerrp: hes saying coming through an analog tuner, its going to be full bitrate regardless
[20:04:02] skd5aner: exactly

[20:07:14] skd5aner: I had comcast when i lived in Chicago – and they encrypted just as much and firewire ports were just as locked down at the time
[20:07:28] iamlindoro: Which is not par for the course
[20:07:47] skd5aner: well, that definitely could have changed over the last several years
[20:07:54] iamlindoro: Comcast has an agreement with TiVo that will make the HDHR Prime usable in most markets, whereas it will be useless for TWC in every market
[20:08:09] iamlindoro: Comcast traditionally leaves a fair amount open via ClearQAM, including all the music channels
[20:08:18] iamlindoro: Firewire is more likely to work in Comcast than anywhere else
[20:08:19] iamlindoro: etc.
[20:08:31] iamlindoro: You may not love them, but they're a damn sight better than most of the alternatives
[20:08:33] skd5aner: There's really no providers that I can really say are consumer friendly, but I guess some are better than others and I'll definitely agree that TWC is *not* one of those companies

[20:10:50] skd5aner: Yea, TWC does have some compression issues too, but I've seen worse as far as PQ goes
[20:11:04] skd5aner: not giving them a thumbs up, but at least it's watchable 95% of the time
[20:12:05] skd5aner: however, I'm in one of their markets where they are heavily rolling out SDV, but hopefully that won't impact QAM – it definitely shouldn't. I wonder if the HDHR Prime is SDV capable?
[20:12:34] iamlindoro: yes, it is

[20:22:56] trumee: wagnerrp: AMD Athlon(tm) II X2 250 Processor, nvidia GPu onboard and 3 hard disks
[20:23:14] skd5aner: well, not enough to break the camels back I would assume
[20:23:45] trumee: wagnerrp: somewhere i had read that usb issue could be because of low power supply
[20:24:00] wagnerrp: doubtful
[20:24:51] eriksson25: Hi, I have managed to compile my mantis drivers for my terratec cinergy c pci. But I need to know what files its using. v4l folder is filled with files and modules. And there is planty of mantis.xxx files there.
[20:24:58] trumee: wagnerrp: problem is that before i added the third harddisk and fm tuner, the remote had worked great
[20:25:09] Peitolm: the USB bus has it's own power limits
[20:25:11] eriksson25: Anyone know how I can find witch files/drivers its using.
[20:25:13] wagnerrp: USB tuners take next to nothing
[20:25:22] wagnerrp: hard drives are only going to cause problems on boot and spinup
[20:26:02] trumee: is it possible to find out via software if insufficient power is an issue (lmsensors?)

[20:27:37] eriksson25: I try to run ./configure --dvb-dir=/path/to/driver but dont know what file I shuld point it to.

[20:28:41] awalls: trumee: Whether a PVR-500 does PAL-BG or not for RF depends on the analog tuner on the unit; be careful when purchasing and you should be fine.
[20:29:05] awalls: for Baseband input (CVBS or SVideo), any PVR-500 can do PAL-BG

[20:53:41] iamlindoro: your capture device being in a bad state
[20:54:01] iamlindoro: eg, a frozen/overheated HD-PVR
[20:54:33] Peitolm: I have PVR-250 and a skystar card
[20:54:48] iamlindoro: video nodes are analog nodes, so it's not your DVB card
[20:55:10] iamlindoro: it's either the framegrabber side of your DVB card, or the pvr-250, and as previously mentioned, it's a device error
[20:55:19] iamlindoro: so you have a hardware or driver issue
[20:55:39] Peitolm: o.k., i'm going with driver as it was previously fine
[20:55:58] iamlindoro: lots of things are previously fine... until they break

[20:58:02] Peitolm: a reboot does fix it
[20:58:30] Peitolm: so i recon its driver
[21:01:30] iamlindoro: Temperature is *not* the only factor that can play into failing hardware
[21:01:44] iamlindoro: You haven't said anything yet that indicates a driver issue over a hardware one
[21:02:11] iamlindoro: a reboot can absolutely resolve some issues that might occur if you have dodgy HW
[21:02:18] Peitolm: apart from a reboot always fixing it
[21:02:26] iamlindoro: That doesn't mean anything
[21:02:33] kormoc: that doesn't indicate software over hardware
[21:02:42] Peitolm: what would
[21:02:54] kormoc: using different hardware and having the same issue
[21:03:00] iamlindoro: ^
[21:03:32] iamlindoro: Who teaches these kids troubleshooting techniques these days, I tell ya
[21:04:46] Peitolm: isn't that a bit harsh?
[21:05:21] Peitolm: Tomorrow I'll swap the 250 for a 350, see if that solves it
[21:06:04] Peitolm: but given this setup was working fine until recently, ie before the last kernel upgrade, I'm going to believe it's software for now
[21:07:14] iamlindoro: It's not a matter of right or wrong, we're just suggesting that if you're going to make a conclusion, at least do the legwork to make sure it's sound
[21:07:47] Peitolm: fair enough
