[01:20:02] | wagnerrp: | nutron_: desktop environments have always wanted a sound server managing audio |
[01:20:08] | wagnerrp: | gnome used to use esound |
[01:20:10] | wagnerrp: | kde used arts |
[01:20:25] | wagnerrp: | pulseaudio is just providing a nice GUI and control interface |
[01:20:35] | wagnerrp: | with the trade off of being far more invasive than the others |
[01:20:52] | wagnerrp: | oh, and being garbage for multimedia applications |
[01:20:55] | nutron_ (nutron_!~dserban@24.67.96.21) has joined #mythtv-users | |
[01:21:08] | nutron_: | Yes, though no one ever really cried about arts and esd did they? |
[01:21:13] | nutron_: | wtf. |
[01:21:22] | wagnerrp: | because they werent so invasive |
[01:21:29] | wagnerrp: | you could use them, or you could avoid them |
[01:22:06] | nutron_: | hmm there goes my router again :( |
[01:22:57] | nutron_: | right, hence my original question... why did pulse gain so much traction? Though completely rhetorical. |
[01:23:38] | J-e-f-f-A: | wagnerrp: Memory question for you – What's the difference between "Bank Interleave" and/or "Channel Interleave"? If I understand it correctly, Channel interleave = Dual Channel mode, and Bank interleave is switching between the two banks on a dimm, right? |
[01:23:54] | wagnerrp: | in the news: norwegian boy scares off pack of wolves by playing Creed from the speaker phone on his cell phone |

[01:25:35] | wagnerrp: | nutron_: because desktop environments only care about being able to play their system bells and alarms regardless of what other sound is being played concurrently |
[01:25:38] | wagnerrp: | nothing else matters |
[01:25:43] | wagnerrp: | and pulse provided a fancy GUI |
[01:25:54] | J-e-f-f-A: | wagnerrp: Ah, ok. ;-) Because my new MB doesn't work with the 8x 2GB DDR3 dimms (single-sided) above 4GB unless I have "Bank Interleave" disabled. But works perfect with it disabled. |
[01:26:02] | Hilikus: | when i try to watch videos on thecomedynetwork.ca using mythbrowser i see the website render fine and i can hear the audio but the picture is not there. youtube works fine |
[01:26:46] | Hilikus: | i see some errors in the log about GTK but i am not sure that they come from this specific problem |
[01:27:04] | iamlindoro: | We don't have any control over how the flash player renders anything |
[01:27:18] | ** wagnerrp debates replying to the mailing list thread about the C-32 bill that the mailing list is english only ** | |
[01:27:21] | iamlindoro: | mythbrowser is just a very thin wrapper around Qt's WebKit |
[01:27:26] | nutron_: | Hilikus: don't really know how to help you, if it works in youtube, it should work everywhere imho. |

[01:27:48] | nutron_: | can't myth just ban flash? we'll make billions. |
[01:27:49] | iamlindoro: | If you have an issue, then it's something you should take up with Qt or Adobe, or both |
[01:28:00] | iamlindoro: | Hilikus, Because all flash applications are not created equal |
[01:28:12] | Hilikus: | i see |
[01:28:40] | Hilikus: | thanks iamlindoro |
[01:28:41] | iamlindoro: | Regardless, it's not an issue we're able to help with, as neither component is myth code |
[01:28:44] | iamlindoro: | np |
[01:28:49] | Hilikus: | i thought it was mythbrowser |

[01:57:59] | nichos: | is the playback profile (vdpau, etc) only relevent on playback of recordings? |

[01:59:51] | J-e-f-f-A: | nichos: Yes, that's why it's called a "playback" profile. You need to increase the bitrate on your recording profile(s). |
[02:00:35] | nichos: | isn't live also technically recorded? |
[02:00:58] | nichos: | that's why i thought maybe i was on the wrong track |

[02:07:00] | nichos: | i have that too, but no options there |
[02:07:13] | J-e-f-f-A: | nichos: What's your source? |
[02:07:29] | nichos: | here's where I am: recording profiles->hdhomerun recorders-> and then i get a list: create new, default, live, high, low |

[02:07:36] | nichos: | *hdhr |
[02:08:05] | J-e-f-f-A: | Ok, so the recording profiles don't apply, as it's just dumping the raw mpeg stream to disk. |
[02:08:39] | nichos: | i do have a "transcoders" there too |
[02:08:58] | J-e-f-f-A: | nichos: In that case, there should be no difference between "Live TV" quality and scheduled recordings with that tuner. ^ Oh, if you're transcoding, then that'll do it... |
[02:09:14] | J-e-f-f-A: | nichos: Are you intentionally transcoding to save space? |

[02:11:46] | J-e-f-f-A: | humm... Are you sure the channel you're recording is actually in HD, and not a SD resolution? Just because it's digital doesn't mean it's HD... ;-) |
[02:12:03] | nichos: | definitely |
[02:12:08] | nichos: | it's glee (primetime) |
[02:12:17] | nichos: | also did it on modern familiy |
[02:12:59] | J-e-f-f-A: | nichos: So does it start to play fine, then you get pixelation? |
[02:13:02] | nichos: | i thought it was a heat issue, but the mb is reporting 33, and the cpu is 41 |
[02:13:27] | J-e-f-f-A: | nichos: it might still be a heat issue – for your video card... |
[02:13:37] | nichos: | any way to check that from the command line? |
[02:13:40] | nichos: | (im sshd:) |
[02:14:05] | nichos: | that's a good point, b/c it's recording 3 HD streams, and we were watching an hd show from earlier |

[02:32:46] | J-e-f-f-A: | nichos: Did that do it? ;-) |
[02:32:47] | wagnerrp: | there may be some low power units within that envelope |
[02:32:51] | nichos: | ya, lol |

[02:32:58] | wagnerrp: | but the standard C2Q were not |
[02:33:14] | wookey: | hi guys. I'm running mythtv 0.21 on Debian lenny on an ITX box, with haupage winTV USB box receiving DVB-T |
[02:33:18] | nichos: | I thought that was for the SD broadcasts, I wanted grey instead of black on the sides (plasma) |
[02:33:33] | J-e-f-f-A: | nichos: awesome. I only knew that because someone had some other funky stuff with that set to "Gray" a month or two ago, and someone else here had them change it to "Black"... ;-) |
[02:33:36] | wookey: | I applied some security upgrades yesterday and now whilst I can watch existing recordings I can;t make new ones |
[02:33:43] | wagnerrp: | wookey: youre not likely to get much support for 0.21 |
[02:33:48] | aclonedsheep: | i have a kentsfield |
[02:33:57] | wookey: | I know – but I tried upgrading and found that my machine was too slow |
[02:34:07] | wookey: | so I've had to stick with this until better hardware |
[02:34:08] | J-e-f-f-A: | nichos: That's what you get for having a plasma. ;-) hehehehehe... |
[02:34:11] | wagnerrp: | chances are your 'security upgrades' did something to restrict permissions to your tuner device |
[02:34:33] | aclonedsheep: | wagnerrp, i figured out how i could network a backend from upstairs in my office — so I want that to be the i5 box, but i wanna use what I can from my dead core2quad desktop, so a barebones i could try popping the CPU into was appealing :/ |
[02:34:37] | wagnerrp: | wookey: 0.24 should not have significantly higher requirements than 0.21 |
[02:35:01] | wookey: | I know (i tried with 0.21) but I couldn't get it to stop being all jerky |
[02:35:07] | wookey: | I mean tried with 0.32 |
[02:35:09] | wookey: | 0.23 |
[02:35:11] | aclonedsheep: | i could just get another ion box for the front end |

[02:35:49] | J-e-f-f-A: | nichos: I thought you said it fixed it? You *might* have to restart the frontend, but not the backend... |
[02:36:10] | wookey: | wagnerrp: When I hit 'record' does it check tuner device is OK before putting the prog in the database? |
[02:36:22] | wookey: | the problem seems to be adding entreis to the 'to record' list |

[02:36:58] | nichos: | this was recorded a few days ago (not sure if that matters) |

[02:38:15] | nichos: | and since mplayer is doing it too, it must be in the recording |

[02:40:12] | J-e-f-f-A: | nichos: Then I'm not sure, man... I've got two HDHR's and have never had an issue with them. Do you have them configured with their device IDs, or IP addresses? (should be the former...) |
[02:40:20] | kormoc: | (or rather if it didn't and then it dl()'d a lib |
[02:41:13] | nichos: | jeffa – i'll keep an eye on it, it's possible it was the reception, but it was on the black stuff |
[02:41:15] | nichos: | it seems fine now |
[02:42:24] | J-e-f-f-A: | nichos: ^^ Do you have the HDHR configured as the device ID in Myth, or as the IP address? It should be configured with the device ID. |
[02:43:08] | nichos: | i believe device |

[02:46:20] | J-e-f-f-A: | Although I don't have VDPAU functioning on this system-- for some reason the nvidia driver isn't 'behaving' on this FC13 system... (vdpau isn't detected for some reason by configure, even though it's running the nvidia binary driver... strange...) |
[02:46:29] | innatech: | Hey. I've added an HD-PVR to my MythTV setup after one of my HVR-1600 PCI cards died. To my dissapointment, the S-Video recording on the HD-PVR looks much worse--black levels all washed out, a line of static crawling across the top of the screen and a generally muddier and more blurry image than my surviving HVR-1600. Apparently the v4l2-ctl picture controls for the HD-PVR are broken in the current kernel. What can I do? Can I get |
[02:46:29] | innatech: | the frontend to hold different picture settings depending on the source in use? |
[02:47:00] | kormoc: | No and why would you use a hdpvr for svideo? |
[02:47:13] | nichos: | im at 65' and it looks like it's holding, but i do have some pixelation |
[02:47:26] | nichos: | maybe ill open the case for a few days |

[02:49:18] | J-e-f-f-A: | nichos: this particular card is just an 8400GS with 512MB ram. (on my backend, I don't run a frontend on it very often...) |
[02:49:26] | nichos: | so maybe I'll set it to just "Normal" (not vdpau normal, but normal normal) and see how it goes |
[02:49:36] | clgshaft: | hey guys, i need a little help, i am having a few issues with the mythtv setup. I have a 2250, 1600 (not working) and two 95q's (one working) when i let the backend run overnight, or during the day and i try to watchtv it says it is not connected to the backend, but i can watch recordings, and movies on my nas. |
[02:49:40] | nichos: | FYI, ihave almost exactly this: http://www.mythtvtalk.com/mkv-playback-pixelation-issues-14182/ |
[02:50:01] | J-e-f-f-A: | nichos: is it a Passive (no fan) or Actively cooled (fan) card? If Active, maybe the fan failed? If passive, not enough airflow? |
[02:50:18] | J-e-f-f-A: | nichos: try "Slim" and see what happens. |
[02:50:23] | innatech: | Is there a known remedy for the line of static at the top of the frame? I get it with my HD-Homerun, too. |
[02:50:23] | nichos: | passive |

[02:52:51] | kormoc: | innatech, the digital is a bit stream down the pipe. If you see it, it's in the stream. There's nothing being modified by the card. They're counting on your tv overscaning it out of view |

[02:53:15] | kormoc: | iamlindoro, your analog capture card might be emulating overscan which is why it's not there. the HDPVR does not |
[02:53:26] | innatech: | kormoc, so is the CX-18/HVR-1600 not picking it up because its capture is slightly cropped in HW? |
[02:53:27] | nichos: | ive got noting on but openbox and waiting to get under 60 :^) |

[02:56:20] | nichos: | jeff, it's still doing it and them temp is at 60, with the slim profile |

[03:28:26] | wagnerrp: | mythtv calls an external script |
[03:28:26] | Beirdo: | cba123: it will likely work... but the IR blaster in it is finnicy |
[03:28:36] | wagnerrp: | which in turn can use LIRC's 'irsend' executable |
[03:28:49] | kormoc: | cba123, I liked using firewire to control cable boxes |
[03:28:50] | wagnerrp: | now whether LIRC supports the blaster on the HDPVR... i dont know |
[03:29:13] | Beirdo: | it did for me... with a driver from j-rod |
[03:29:54] | Beirdo: | but if you can use firewire, you'll be a lot happier :) |
[03:30:04] | cba123: | kormoc, I don't have firewire on this, UVerse. |
[03:30:09] | Beirdo: | time remaining.... 13min |
[03:30:45] | kormoc: | cba123, they're legally required to give it to you at your request if you have a HD plan |
[03:31:21] | Beirdo: | isn't that only for cable? |
[03:31:40] | kormoc: | Uverse is cable, no? |
[03:31:44] | cba123: | kormoc, Yeah, I think only cable. This is kinda-sorta-fttn |
[03:31:50] | wagnerrp: | kormoc: no, IPTV |
[03:31:55] | wagnerrp: | not cable like verizon |
[03:31:56] | kormoc: | ahh, whoops |
[03:32:12] | cba123: | Like, UVerse wants to be FiOS when it grows up, afaik. |
[03:32:46] | wagnerrp: | uverse cant grow up to be like verizon fios without a complete redesign of their system |
[03:33:05] | wagnerrp: | they cant switch to fiber optic, but thats different |
[03:33:20] | wagnerrp: | uverse sends video over your internet connection |
[03:33:40] | cba123: | wagnerrp, What I've read says they are fiber to the neighborhood, like to the vrad or whatever, then copper to me |
[03:34:03] | wagnerrp: | cba123: verizon fios uses a traditional QAM-modulated digital cable system, transmitted over an optical carrier |
[03:34:25] | wagnerrp: | s/cant/can/ |

[05:14:34] | sphery: | wagnerrp: excellent |
[05:14:37] | sphery: | thanks |
[05:14:51] | wagnerrp: | it just provides a list of Program objects |
[05:14:57] | wagnerrp: | or maybe an iterable, cant remember |
[05:16:09] | sphery: | all I needed was a link :) |
[05:16:18] | sphery: | making it work is left as an exercise to the reader |
[05:16:33] | wagnerrp: | yeah, saw the thread |
[05:16:45] | sphery: | so is it actually using the mythxml stuff or backend proto or ??? |
[05:17:02] | wagnerrp: | there is no mythxml stuff is there? |
[05:17:26] | wagnerrp: | oh, seems that is a valid call |
[05:17:33] | wagnerrp: | well... i may have one that runs through that too |
[05:17:34] | wagnerrp: | cant remember |
[05:17:49] | sphery: | so the one you pointed to goes through backend proto? |
[05:18:25] | wagnerrp: | yeah, looks like the same call through a backend proto connection, or a mythxml 'connection' |
[05:18:31] | wagnerrp: | with the same behavior |
[05:18:35] | wagnerrp: | provides a list of Program objects |
[05:18:40] | sphery: | cool |
[05:18:50] | wagnerrp: | but the information contained in the program object will be slightly different |
[05:19:07] | wagnerrp: | since the xml interface doesnt provide exactly what a ProgramInfo wants |
[05:19:11] | sphery: | yeah, the mythxml one is stripped down |
[05:19:22] | wagnerrp: | not by much |
[05:19:28] | sphery: | and without a GetRecordedDetails (or GetRecordingDetails), it's not very useful |
[05:19:28] | wagnerrp: | it does have a lot of information there |
[05:19:33] | sphery: | since you can't get filename, etc. |
[05:19:48] | wagnerrp: | what else would you need....right, filename |
[05:19:57] | sphery: | and sg |
[05:20:11] | sphery: | basically, it looks like program details, but without the recorded info |
[05:20:31] | wagnerrp: | i suppose it gives you everything you need to access it from the backend webserver |
[05:20:36] | wagnerrp: | the GetRecorded call |
[05:20:47] | sphery: | yeah |
[05:20:54] | sphery: | which is fine if you're just streaming it |
[05:21:09] | wagnerrp: | well i ended up stalling on the script i was intending to write myself |
[05:21:16] | sphery: | heh |
[05:21:22] | sphery: | no probs--at least he has more info now |
[05:21:32] | wagnerrp: | since theres just not enough access currently available to do /good/ storage balancing |
[05:21:38] | sphery: | maybe he'll do a first run, then you can fix it :) |
[05:22:08] | sphery: | yeah, having a nice script on the wiki would be great |
[05:23:17] | wagnerrp: | id want some manner of forcing a specific storage directory to use when doing a remote write |
[05:23:46] | wagnerrp: | as it stands, youre up to the decision of the backend |
[05:23:52] | wagnerrp: | which i believe will be blind free space |
[05:24:15] | sphery: | ah, yeah |
[05:24:26] | wagnerrp: | otherwise, im stuck using child processes spawned through ssh to pull onto each machine and run locally |
[05:24:31] | sphery: | I think the SG scheduler is only used for recording |
[05:25:08] | wagnerrp: | and honestly, id love to have a backend call to 'move this recording here' |
[05:25:19] | wagnerrp: | avoid the whole python filetransfer system |
[05:25:25] | sphery: | agreed |
[05:25:28] | wagnerrp: | as much time as ive spent on it, its still junk |
[05:25:31] | sphery: | it's part of the plan |
[05:25:43] | wagnerrp: | and the more capability i put into it, it just gets slower and slower |
[05:26:04] | sphery: | yeah |
[05:26:16] | wagnerrp: | im down to ~20MB/s transfers, from the original linear code which was 44MB/s |
[05:26:27] | sphery: | btw, I'm planning on pushing the mythvideo schema integration patch, tomorrow |
[05:26:50] | wagnerrp: | thats all from the mess of code i wrote for thread safety and backend events |
[05:27:02] | sphery: | nothing changes in the DB after it--except we're guaranteed to have mythvideo tables, after--but it has those couple of small mods for the mythvideo schema version in python bindings |
[05:27:02] | wagnerrp: | less than half the original performance |
[05:27:34] | wagnerrp: | because im doing all sorts of conditional checking, and timeouts, and other stuff that just doesnt really work well in python |
[05:27:49] | wagnerrp: | could certainly do it a lot cleaner and faster in cython |
[05:28:07] | sphery: | and, so, tomorrow night, once we're guaranteed to have mythvideo tables, Beirdo can rewrite the UPnP code to use it and remove the UPnP scanner code :) |
[05:28:33] | sphery: | interesting |
[05:29:02] | sphery: | or you could just do it in C/C++ :) |
[05:29:09] | wagnerrp: | yes, cython |
[05:29:21] | wagnerrp: | its a blend between python and C |
[05:29:27] | sphery: | no, I mean C/C++ with Qt and stick it in the backend |
[05:29:48] | wagnerrp: | no, i mean performance issues with the python bindings |
[05:30:07] | wagnerrp: | not talking about the balancing code |
[05:30:14] | sphery: | yeah, I'm getting back to your, "and honestly, id love to have a backend call to 'move this recording here'" |
[05:30:19] | wagnerrp: | but rather deficiencies in the bindings that would cause problems with the balancing code |
[05:30:54] | k-man: | so i managed to catch the output of -v playback when the dvd player crashed, what should i do with it? |
[05:31:12] | k-man: | it crashed with a segfault by the way |
[05:31:21] | k-man: | and i can fairly consistently make it crash |

[05:34:06] | sphery: | k-man: though if you have a package-based install, you should use the debug packages |
[05:34:13] | sphery: | don't switch to source just for the backtrace |
[05:34:18] | k-man: | no, its built from source |
[05:34:29] | k-man: | just got it from git too, so its current fixes |

[05:34:57] | sphery: | wagnerrp: well, it's not highly serial, so missing episodes isn't an issue (it's about like "The Office"--most stand on their own, but occasionally, there's reference to earlier episode happenings) |
[05:35:43] | sphery: | k-man: cool, markk has started looking at the dvd code, again, so I'm sure he'll appreciate the backtrace |
[05:36:14] | wagnerrp: | seems i missed two, plus the first couple minutes of a third |
[05:36:29] | wagnerrp: | honestly, i havent been watching it because one of the missed episodes was the pilot |
[05:38:48] | k-man: | the wiki is not super clear about how to run a backtrace on the frontend |
[05:39:04] | k-man: | i think i can work it out from the instructions for the backend |
[05:39:38] | k-man: | you think i can get away with just recompiling mythtv? or will i need to do the plugins too? |

[06:04:27] | Captain_Murdoch: | sphery, wagnerrp, it wouldn't be that hard to have the filetransfer write code use the storage scheduler to determine the best dir to write to. LiveTV does it on slave backends. it sends an event to the scheduler which calculates the best dir and calls back through mythproto to set the dir to use. the slave waits for a short period of time and if it hasn't heard back yet, it just uses the dir with the most free space. |
[06:04:54] | Captain_Murdoch: | should have said livetv does it on all backends, even slaves. |
[06:04:58] | wagnerrp: | Captain_Murdoch: no, im thinking something a bit more complicated |
[06:05:24] | wagnerrp: | something that would take into account the expiration order, upcoming recordings, per-show limits |
[06:05:50] | wagnerrp: | something that would actually re-order things such that they should expire in order |
[06:06:23] | wagnerrp: | just for moving things around, a pure free-space balancing works perfectly fine |
[06:07:20] | Computer_Czar (Computer_Czar!~phoenix@rrcs-50-84-72-10.sw.biz.rr.com) has joined #mythtv-users | |
[06:08:48] | Captain_Murdoch: | the normal scheduler could/should handle that scheduling with some work. it was designed with only disks in mind because at the time we had only 1 dir for recording. it should take lots more info into account, but there are higher things on my list since it works well enough for me. |
[06:11:54] | Beirdo: | I think I shoulda increased the gain on this rip :) |
[06:12:00] | Captain_Murdoch: | I worked on a 'migrate' job at one point to copy/move files around between SG directories (local and/or remote). it's trivial since to do since I added remote writing via the ringbuffer. you just open one for read, another for write and copy data between. I have a patch for testing that adds a --copyfile option to mythcommflag and it copies to/from local and remote files. given something like that, it just needs the o |
[06:12:00] | Captain_Murdoch: | ptional housekeeper logic to shuffle things around if necessary. the better part A is for scheduling, the less need for part B reordering, except when the user does something that affects B like deleting shows before they expire. |
[06:12:42] | ** Captain_Murdoch sees the time and decides it's too late to get the brain worked up, so he calls it a night. ** | |
[06:12:50] | wagnerrp: | heh, night |
[06:14:27] | Captain_Murdoch: | :) feel free to enhance/modify/etc. any of that code as long as you maintain existing functionality, even if it's not the default. :) |
[06:15:00] | wagnerrp: | yeah, i really need to get back to the jobqueue stuff, which is really relying on the recorded/videofile stuff |
[06:15:07] | wagnerrp: | as well as the mainserver rework |
[06:15:13] | wagnerrp: | and this other thing... |
[06:15:16] | wagnerrp: | and that other stuff... |
[06:15:17] | wagnerrp: | and... |
[06:15:19] | Captain_Murdoch: | yep |
[06:15:41] | sphery: | Captain_Murdoch: with recordedfile schema, we'll have mediafile.dirid, and if we move the autoexpirer's file system identification code to general availability, we then know which recordings are where and can create an SG balancer that takes autoexpire order into account |
[06:15:44] | nutron: | sphery: did you watch sintel? |
[06:15:53] | nutron: | Oh serious business. |
[06:15:55] | ** nutron goes quiet ** | |
[06:16:04] | wagnerrp: | sintel? |
[06:16:15] | sphery: | plus, it would make it easier to do the file system re-balancing wagnerrp is mentioning |
[06:16:18] | nutron: | the 3rd open movie |
[06:16:28] | sphery: | since with current schema we don't really know where recordings exist |
[06:16:31] | wagnerrp: | nutron: nah, if it were really serious, it would be done in #mythtv |
[06:16:48] | sphery: | nutron: not yet--got it downloaded, but have to move it into mythvideo directories and then put in metadata, then can watch |
[06:16:51] | sphery: | might not be today |
[06:16:56] | nutron: | heh |
[06:17:03] | sphery: | and, yeah, not really serious |
[06:17:10] | nutron: | obsessive enough? you can watch it on your computer. |
[06:17:19] | nutron: | Well I hate interrupting thoughts =) |
[06:17:30] | sphery: | heh, why use the little screen when I have a perfectly good big screen |
[06:17:38] | sphery: | besides, it would take me 3s to start moving it |
[06:17:59] | nutron: | 10 mins of your time and meh i've been router fondling managed to watch it twice it's only really about 11 mins |
[06:18:10] | wagnerrp: | 2K resolution? |
[06:18:15] | wagnerrp: | wonder if VDPAU can handle that... |
[06:18:16] | nutron: | 4k even |
[06:18:29] | wagnerrp: | i dont see a 4k version |
[06:18:42] | nutron: | oh saw it on the ewwwtube |
[06:19:00] | nutron: | I read they were working on it, maybe unreleased on the site still since it's probably massive |
[06:19:04] | wagnerrp: | heh... the 2K downloadable is probably higher bitrate than the 4K youtube |
[06:19:06] | Captain_Murdoch: | sphery, filesystem id code is all in MainServer::GetFilesystemInfos() |
[06:19:27] | nutron: | wagnerrp: probably. still looks amazing spanning 3 screens |
[06:19:32] | wagnerrp: | nutron: they could just make it bittorrent only |
[06:19:37] | sphery: | I got the 2048x872 version |
[06:19:43] | nutron: | though i thought about taking the skill saw to the monitor frames :) |
[06:20:15] | sphery: | Captain_Murdoch: ah, cool, then just need to make the info available |
[06:20:19] | ** wagnerrp could watch the 4K version at full size... ** | |
[06:20:36] | nutron: | I'm impressed even though it's old news to me.. it's on my old crufty mythbox until I figure out my started late bs |
[06:21:14] | nutron: | 4k how? |
[06:21:20] | k-man: | ok, got a core and a backtrace of dvd crashing, should i email it or just make a ticket and attach? |
[06:21:40] | ** wagnerrp has a large enough display to handle that resolution ** | |
[06:22:02] | AndyCap: | wagnerrp: crt projector? |
[06:22:04] | sphery: | k-man: ticket should be good |
[06:22:14] | Captain_Murdoch: | sphery, yeah, we could even cache it for X seconds and have helpers to access the cache and auto-refresh it if necessary. but, I said I was going to bed and I don't need anymore to think about. :) |
[06:22:17] | wagnerrp: | ooh... vertical is too large |
[06:22:24] | wagnerrp: | i dont know if those HPs are designed to rotate |
[06:22:31] | sphery: | k-man: probably don't need to put the core up there... start with just the backtrace (and possibly log) |
[06:22:38] | wagnerrp: | AndyCap: machine at work with a trio of 30" monitors |
[06:22:45] | sphery: | Captain_Murdoch: heh, gn |
[06:22:56] | AndyCap: | wagnerrp: ah. hehe. |
[06:23:17] | nutron: | ok someone seriously watch the movie, tell me it's good and i'll be happy .. |
[06:23:18] | wagnerrp: | thought i could do it as is, but its too tall |
[06:23:21] | nutron: | heh |
[06:23:30] | wagnerrp: | but if they rotate, i could watch it full size |

[07:29:06] | wagnerrp: | gtroy: by 'thin client', you mean a dumb X server with audio? |
[07:29:20] | gtroy: | yes |
[07:29:40] | wagnerrp: | meaning the decoding would be done on a central system, and the uncompressed video pushed out over the network? |
[07:29:49] | gtroy: | as much as possible |
[07:30:02] | gtroy: | I have a beast of a machine in my bedroom |
[07:30:14] | gtroy: | and a e140 neoware |
[07:30:40] | wagnerrp: | standard definition video is 15MB/s, 1080p is 93MB/s |
[07:30:41] | gtroy: | I'm not expecting to do HD |
[07:30:49] | gtroy: | hmmm |
[07:31:07] | gtroy: | so it is possible to run a dumb X client |
[07:31:09] | wagnerrp: | its certainly doable over gigabit, but not realistic or worthwhile use of resources |
[07:31:22] | gtroy: | right |
[07:31:35] | wagnerrp: | that dumb X SERVER (mythfrontend is the client) must support opengl, or at minimum Xv |
[07:31:42] | wagnerrp: | mythtv does not do software scaling |
[07:31:48] | gtroy: | I see |
[07:32:26] | gtroy: | I'm trying to figure my way through a distributed htpc |
[07:32:36] | aclonedsheep: | wagnerrp, just ordered i5 sandy bridge parts to fix my desktop into a spiffy backend, and ordered a next-gen ION as my front end :D finally settled that i hope |

[07:33:08] | gtroy: | ;) |
[07:33:13] | aclonedsheep: | hows it going? |
[07:33:19] | wagnerrp: | looks to be an old 1GHz Via Eden system |
[07:33:21] | gtroy: | good, pm me sometime |
[07:33:26] | aclonedsheep: | you still on AIM? |
[07:33:29] | gtroy: | right wagnerrp |
[07:33:31] | aclonedsheep: | or just here all the time? |
[07:33:33] | gtroy: | yup, I am |
[07:33:39] | gtroy: | aim |
[07:33:51] | wagnerrp: | im pretty sure Xv requires direct rendering |
[07:34:17] | wagnerrp: | opengl can be done remotely, but no Via chip is going to have enough opengl grunt to use for video scaling |
[07:34:20] | gtroy: | wagnerrp what would you suggest I do with the e140 |
[07:34:28] | wagnerrp: | junk it |
[07:34:36] | gtroy: | yeah :( |
[07:34:59] | aclonedsheep: | grtroy i sent ya an IM |
[07:35:02] | wagnerrp: | does that have a normal ATX PSU? |
[07:35:09] | gtroy: | no |
[07:35:17] | gtroy: | it's low power |
[07:35:22] | gtroy: | 25W or so |
[07:35:38] | wagnerrp: | ATX implies the type of power connector |
[07:35:53] | wagnerrp: | specifically, a 10x2 or 12x2 plug |
[07:36:08] | gtroy: | well, it's external |
[07:36:31] | wagnerrp: | so its a power brick, with an internal DC supply |
[07:36:35] | gtroy: | exactly |
[07:36:58] | gtroy: | I don't know how much power I could push to a pci gpu |
[07:37:10] | ** Beirdo yawns ** | |
[07:37:27] | wagnerrp: | well you could keep the case, stuff it with ION or mini-itx athlon/core2 guts |
[07:37:30] | Beirdo: | I can't wait until I have my new headphones |
[07:38:14] | wagnerrp: | you could add a second video card to your desktop, and a long HDMI cable to the TV |
[07:38:23] | gtroy: | trying this on shoestring budget |
[07:38:40] | wagnerrp: | GT210 is available for ~$25 after rebate |
[07:39:05] | gtroy: | I have a 9600GT in this |
[07:39:09] | wagnerrp: | stuff it in a spare slot, use HDMI audio, maybe another $10 for a long HDMI cable to reach your TV |
[07:39:12] | Beirdo: | and MythTV (over time) will likely be requiring plenty of shoestrings :) |
[07:39:31] | wagnerrp: | a 9600 will do, if it has the SPDIF headers on it |
[07:39:38] | aclonedsheep: | i just got stuff for my backend/ front end but the tuner , haha |
[07:39:40] | gtroy: | hdmi is cheap... |
[07:39:41] | wagnerrp: | otherwise, youll have to use a separate audio line |
[07:40:06] | wagnerrp: | the GT cards have integrated audio, the older 8xx and 9xx series only do passthrough |
[07:40:14] | gtroy: | right |
[07:40:32] | gtroy: | I should just build a box with enough guts to do the job |
[07:41:48] | wagnerrp: | correct |
[07:41:58] | wagnerrp: | thin clients are a nice concept |
[07:42:06] | gtroy: | but for media...I'm not sure |
[07:42:11] | wagnerrp: | but they only lend themselves to low power, low data applications |
[07:42:26] | wagnerrp: | office applications, terminals, stuff thats going to be largely static |
[07:42:39] | wagnerrp: | they just dont cut it for video |
[07:42:58] | gtroy: | zotac ion would be good |
[07:43:11] | wagnerrp: | only as a dedicated frontend |
[07:43:11] | gtroy: | just can't put down the cash atm |
[07:43:27] | wagnerrp: | they are not recommended for a backend or combo machine |
[07:43:42] | Beirdo: | Oooh fun. 12" 45RPM single |
[07:43:43] | wagnerrp: | and really, real hardware is preferred for a dedicated frontend |
[07:44:28] | wagnerrp: | running diskless is about as 'thin' as you can get with mythtv |
[07:44:42] | wagnerrp: | which saves you about $40 |
[07:45:12] | wagnerrp: | there are people who run multiple frontends on a single machine, but thats not for the faint of heart |
[07:45:47] | wagnerrp: | and even running a single frontend on an independent screen from a desktop is not trivial |
[07:46:15] | wagnerrp: | Beirdo: youve used lawrence rust's build script? |
[07:46:41] | Beirdo: | not for a few weeks, but yes |

[08:04:39] | Beirdo: | heh |
[08:04:53] | Beirdo: | I hope those detected clips are only pops from the record |

[08:13:19] | Beirdo: | the choice of the Beirdo :) |
[08:20:14] | justinh1: | reminds me I still need to go over my vinyl recordings & declick em |
[08:20:44] | justinh1: | fyi that means zooming right in & sorting them out with a pencil tool, not using any sort of plugin. even $$$ plugins get it wrong |

[08:29:43] | justinh1: | ZOMG 4 mins! |
[08:30:09] | dserban: | yeah the roflcopter has landed. |

[08:30:52] | nutron: | 5 mins in some cases |
[08:31:08] | justinh1: | do you mean the show starts 4 minutes late & myth isn't able to detect the time shift because it's not omnicognic? |
[08:31:37] | justinh1: | broadcasters are notoriously bad at starting/ending shows on time |
[08:32:04] | nutron: | justinh1, nah i went over it with kormoc and sphery, seems like a reschedule is called, then gets interrupted, that's where the recording starts. Seems to be getting worse. |
[08:32:08] | justinh1: | strangely, since the advent of PVR technology they've got worse |
[08:32:10] | nutron: | so every single show is cut short. |
[08:32:13] | justinh1: | eew |
[08:32:28] | justinh1: | is this what happens when you run mythbackend on a pogoplug then? ;-) |
[08:32:39] | justinh1: | pogoplug/atom |
[08:32:41] | justinh1: | same diff |
[08:32:58] | nutron: | nah, dual opty w/4gb ram, it's powerful enough, even profiled the db with kormoc's script. |

[08:33:19] | sphery: | nutron: btw, Sinter was great |
[08:33:36] | sphery: | amazing how much improved it is over the first 2 |
[08:33:37] | nutron: | but... I upped the verbosity for logging since... maybe that's what's causing it.. iowait |
[08:33:48] | nutron: | sphery, i know, i was blown away |
[08:34:14] | justinh1: | eep. I've been able to do like 10 simultaneous recordings on my machine with a FS that's fragmented to hell |
[08:34:23] | nutron: | the detail is fantastic too, I'll definately buy the dvd set, just to keep the project healthy (not that one person can, but I assume others will do the same) |
[08:34:24] | justinh1: | no problems with the scheduler either |
[08:34:47] | nutron: | justinh1, yeah I know, I got peeps stumped... I'm stumped too. |
[08:35:27] | nutron: | sphery, maybe it _is_ the no keyframe entries is what kills it |
[08:35:41] | nutron: | the logging? pwning my backend? shouldn't... |
[08:35:52] | sphery: | could be... |
[08:35:59] | nutron: | maybe if I turn off the commflags |
[08:36:04] | nutron: | see if that does it |
[08:36:15] | sphery: | or: mythbackend -v none |
[08:36:18] | sphery: | and see if that helps |
[08:36:24] | justinh1: | actually I've noticed the scheduler doesn't run a reschedule for a while -or it's taking a while when I select a show to record in the guide |
[08:36:33] | sphery: | unless it's not the I/O from logging, but the processing/erroring |
[08:36:35] | nutron: | hmm ... eeeew a one hour show is missing 14 mins |
[08:36:40] | justinh1: | it was much faster when it was more or less a fresh install with the original db |

[08:37:37] | nutron: | justinh1, I upped all I could on the db... it started from a pristine install, so I dunno, and I'm not really all that retarded .. though I did quadruple check my settings and my recording rules. |
[08:37:46] | justinh1: | I set something to record, the icon doesn't appear for a while & in the meantime it says 'not listed' in the rec status text.. until eventually it changes to whatever the recording type should be |
[08:38:04] | nutron: | sphery, you mean other processes? or myth having some sort of issue? |
[08:38:06] | justinh1: | maybe it's mysql being an ass |

[08:39:37] | sphery: | nutron: did you send the logs/db, yet? |
[08:39:48] | nutron: | sphery, no I just got home |
[08:39:50] | nutron: | want me to? |

[08:41:22] | nutron: | wow... on cp... it's taking too long, I wonder how big the log is |
[08:41:29] | nutron: | :o |
[08:41:47] | justinh1: | that was the next question.. how full is the partition mysql lives on? ;-) |
[08:41:48] | Beirdo: | as in, yes, Helix... from KW |
[08:42:08] | nutron: | justinh1, pretty empty... 72gb free or so |
[08:42:13] | nutron: | but not after these logs :) |
[08:42:31] | Beirdo: | IIRC the drummer in this band is/was a janitor at a friend's high school |
[08:42:33] | nutron: | from kw? not ky? |
[08:42:40] | Beirdo: | Kitchener-Waterloo |
[08:42:46] | nutron: | oh hah, :) |
[08:42:54] | justinh1: | word to the wise – I was downloading a bunch of stuff to my home dir, and that dir was on the same partition /var/mysql lived on. it got full & that made mysql very poorly |
[08:42:59] | nutron: | I'm west, Ontario is a different country... so is Quebec :P |
[08:43:00] | Beirdo: | where I was born... and where I went to university |
[08:43:37] | nutron: | yikes... 1.4 gb for the log |
[08:43:39] | justinh1: | it made mysql so poorly I had to free up the space and create a new database from a backup |
[08:43:50] | Beirdo: | hehe |
[08:43:51] | nutron: | rrrough. Nah I have plenty |
[08:44:04] | Beirdo: | /var/mysql really should have a partition to itself to prevent that |
[08:44:07] | justinh1: | just saying.. so it doesn't happen to anybody who doesn't take backups |
[08:44:11] | nutron: | I've learned from the past... linux likes free space. |
[08:44:31] | justinh1: | Beirdo: or just have /home on its own partition, as is sometimes the norm on nonbuntu |
[08:44:35] | nutron: | Oh I cron a backup every night... scp it to a nas-type box... and burned once a month |
[08:44:49] | Beirdo: | yeah, but /var/log often shares a filesystem, and then fills it |
[08:45:08] | ** justinh1 smites everything and everybody who uses /var ** | |
[08:45:10] | nutron: | jeebs... from 1.4gb to 67mb ... repeat much? |
[08:45:25] | justinh1: | course it repeats a lot ;) |
[08:45:28] | ** nutron wonders how justinh1 feels about qmail ** | |
[08:45:46] | justinh1: | I need to cure all my systems of ubuntu-ness |
[08:45:48] | Beirdo: | oooh, one clipping event |
[08:45:50] | nutron: | oh crap I forgot to pull out the first keyframe is .. lines |
[08:45:57] | Beirdo: | I think that was a record pop |
[08:46:10] | nutron: | Beirdo, shouldn't you be coding? =) |
[08:46:10] | justinh1: | for all I say I can't stand the distro I still use it rather a lot :P |
[08:46:12] | Beirdo: | I am recording a bit hot though |
[08:46:17] | Beirdo: | no |
[08:46:20] | nutron: | hah |
[08:46:32] | Beirdo: | I don't feel like it right at the moment |
[08:46:33] | nutron: | <-- was kidding |
[08:46:48] | Beirdo: | and I'm playing with new toys |
[08:46:51] | justinh1: | Beirdo: the joy of using my Sony MD deck as the A/D converter was that it had a very gentle limiter that kicked in to stop clipping |
[08:46:54] | nutron: | :o toys! |
[08:46:59] | nutron: | Yay for boobies. |
[08:47:03] | nutron: | err toys. |
[08:47:24] | Beirdo: | justinh1: yeah, but it also loses that tiny bit of quality recompressing |
[08:47:32] | justinh1: | nah |
[08:47:51] | Beirdo: | I'm using a preamp with USB ADC... right into audacity |
[08:47:52] | justinh1: | I recorded everything with plenty headroom anyway |
[08:48:02] | Beirdo: | then save to FLAC |
[08:48:03] | justinh1: | ugh. I hate audacity |
[08:48:16] | Beirdo: | I've used far worse |
[08:48:34] | justinh1: | people criticise mythtv for usability – they should try & navigate a huge audio file in audacity |

[08:48:36] | nutron: | what's better justinh1 ? |
[08:48:45] | justinh1: | nothing, for free |
[08:48:45] | Beirdo: | define huge :) |
[08:48:52] | justinh1: | huge.. like > 30 mins |
[08:49:00] | nutron: | I see. |
[08:49:00] | Beirdo: | heh |
[08:49:01] | justinh1: | or 2 hours |
[08:49:07] | Beirdo: | yeah, been there, done that |
[08:49:11] | Beirdo: | Goon Show rips |
[08:49:29] | justinh1: | <3 Sony Vegas. blimmin excellent video editor & DAW software par excellance |
[08:49:38] | justinh1: | non-destructive too |
[08:49:47] | justinh1: | actually cool edit used to be the best free |
[08:50:02] | justinh1: | nothing free can hold a candle to that now |
[08:50:16] | Beirdo: | Audacity is as good as cooledit in my experience |
[08:50:36] | justinh1: | they need to fix the zooming so it works with a mousewheel |
[08:51:05] | Beirdo: | oh, for sure |
[08:51:15] | Beirdo: | it still has issues |
[08:51:25] | justinh1: | seen how that works in Ableton? Yikes. that's just beyond intuitive |
[08:51:35] | Beirdo: | nope |
[08:51:52] | Beirdo: | OK, capturing side B |
[08:51:54] | nutron: | anyone know if deadline scheduler would be better for ... say anyone when it comes to sata sans ncq? |
[08:51:59] | justinh1: | Ableton is easily the best software I've ever paid money for |
[08:53:24] | justinh1: | Beirdo: the waveform view has an overview above it, where a box acts like a zoom window – meaning the view below – the large view – is everything in the window. Click & move mouse up & down, zooms in & out. Click & move left to right moves the window |
[08:55:02] | justinh1: | actually GIMP could use some scrollwheel zooming love too. not CTRL mousewheel. Grrr |
[08:56:16] | justinh1: | reminds me I saw a tweet yesterday – somebody saying all mythtv developers have no regard for usability or architecture. That guy needs some Trout Over IP |
[08:56:20] | Beirdo: | stupid DSL dropped |
[08:56:33] | Beirdo: | oooh nice |
[08:56:58] | Beirdo: | anyone who tweets such malarky is a dolt |
[08:57:23] | justinh1: | yeah it's so unusable my wife has no problems operating it & she even figured out how to turn off timestretch from one of her shows |
[08:58:07] | Beirdo: | and anyone who makes such claims has obviously never tried to grow a large project :) |
[08:58:23] | justinh1: | oo apparently I can improve my laptop's DPC latency by disabling the IrDA crap onboard. I didn't even realise it had that stuff |
[08:58:38] | Beirdo: | what would be cool is to be able to start the turntable from the PC |
[08:58:39] | Beirdo: | hehe |
[08:58:48] | Beirdo: | and even better... flip the record |
[08:58:49] | justinh1: | Beirdo: true. and everytime somebody makes a feature request God kills a kitten |
[08:59:10] | justinh1: | Beirdo: come on not even the Ion USB turntable can do that (start, I mean) |
[08:59:25] | Beirdo: | yeah, but they suck :) |
[08:59:34] | justinh1: | yeah plastic turntables all suck |
[08:59:37] | Beirdo: | this one has a start sync input |
[08:59:51] | Beirdo: | might be an output |
[08:59:54] | Beirdo: | not sure which :) |
[08:59:56] | justinh1: | not even sure they use magnetic cartridges, those Ion efforts |
[08:59:58] | nutron: | it's probably the booze, but this story makes me feel feelings and i'm not sure i'm comfortable with it <-- stellar youtube comment about sintel ... heh |

[09:01:30] | Beirdo: | AndyCap: they are called "CD Players" |
[09:01:42] | AndyCap: | Beirdo: bah, humbug. |
[09:01:53] | justinh1: | I went to a DJ workshop at a sound/light tradeshow a few years ago. I was the only punter in a crowd of 300 people who could align a cart & set up a tonearm |
[09:02:11] | Beirdo: | jeez |
[09:02:37] | Beirdo: | I'll probably buy a better turntable later... with 1/2" mount :) |
[09:02:42] | justinh1: | get turntable, put cart on.. off you go. LOL |
[09:02:54] | justinh1: | and wonder why the stylus jumps out when you back cue |
[09:03:01] | Beirdo: | hehehe |
[09:03:15] | Beirdo: | yeah, well, I'm not planning to do any of that |
[09:03:48] | justinh1: | I wish I'd had a better turntable to do my transcription though. SL1210s suck for sound quality |

[09:04:28] | Beirdo: | yeah, no kidding |
[09:05:03] | Beirdo: | this is an OK turntable, but I don't like it as much as an old Dual |
[09:05:35] | justinh1: | I quite fancy a rega planar for my next one. when I'm older |
[09:05:44] | Beirdo: | which is completely manual, but... |
[09:05:55] | Beirdo: | well, you can feed a stack of discs to it |
[09:06:04] | justinh1: | not sure it'll be a good choice with a mix of 33 & 45 rpm on dance music vinyl |
[09:06:05] | Beirdo: | but that's about as auto as it gets for those |
[09:06:11] | Beirdo: | hehe |
[09:06:22] | justinh1: | heh all the old stereograms had stackers like that |
[09:06:32] | Beirdo: | I ripped a 45RPM 12" single today |
[09:06:47] | Beirdo: | Culture Club – The War Song |
[09:07:01] | justinh1: | I'm not sure stacking records is such a good idea. the base of the cart needs to be parallel with the record surface, ideally |
[09:07:12] | Beirdo: | which reminds me of the -users ML... "people are stupid..." |
[09:07:18] | justinh1: | hahaha |
[09:07:19] | Beirdo: | yeah, it's not a good plan |
[09:07:35] | justinh1: | you should make a 200 disc vinyl autochanger |
[09:07:41] | Beirdo: | hahaah :) |
[09:07:51] | justinh1: | with firewire! |
[09:07:52] | Beirdo: | Wurlitzer used to sell em |
[09:07:58] | Beirdo: | they are called jukeboxes |
[09:08:03] | Beirdo: | well, no firewire ;) |
[09:08:04] | AndyCap: | Harr harr |
[09:08:17] | AndyCap: | Beirdo: maybe ask Stern to make one? |
[09:08:31] | Beirdo: | huh? |
[09:08:51] | justinh1: | btw re laser reading record players, somebody's had a go scanning records & reproducing sound from that |
[09:09:05] | justinh1: | I mean on a flatbed scanner lol |
[09:09:32] | Beirdo: | hehe |
[09:09:36] | Beirdo: | freaks |
[09:09:36] | AndyCap: | justinh1: Not sure if I call that sound, but it would be cool if developed further |
[09:09:43] | justinh1: | hahaha http://www.elpj.com/ |
[09:09:46] | AndyCap: | justinh1: sounded like something from the edison era |
[09:10:13] | justinh1: | prices start at 10 grand :-O |
[09:10:34] | justinh1: | well 10 grand ish |
[09:10:37] | Beirdo: | hahaha |
[09:11:15] | AndyCap: | ooh, an actual laser turntable, |
[09:11:40] | AndyCap: | next, writable records, hello piracy. |
[09:11:45] | Beirdo: | they could at least put spdif out |
[09:12:25] | justinh1: | AndyCap: you can actually buy a vinyl cutter for home use for about $500 or so |
[09:12:30] | justinh1: | blanks cost about $10 each |
[09:12:38] | justinh1: | still way cheaper than having acetates cut |
[09:12:48] | justinh1: | Vestax make it |
[09:12:50] | AndyCap: | justinh1: does that work from sound or an image of a disc? |
[09:13:03] | justinh1: | audio input |
[09:13:07] | AndyCap: | heh, cool |
[09:13:35] | AndyCap: | heh, Image. I guess mold or master is more appropriate. |
[09:13:57] | justinh1: | oh wait the vestax one was still over 5 grand |
[09:14:29] | AndyCap: | considering the cost of cd-r when it was introduced that isn't so bad |
[09:14:38] | AndyCap: | but I guess it will never hit the mass market. :P |
[09:15:15] | justinh1: | there was one you mounted on a normal turntable |
[09:16:16] | AndyCap: | Your scientists have discovered the secret of Mass Production, this allows you to build the submarine. |
[09:17:32] | justinh1: | da da dahhhhhhhhh! http://www.htfr.com/more-info/MR34618 |

[09:23:23] | nutron: | cd burners are cheaper |
[09:23:37] | AndyCap: | nutron: they didn't use to be |
[09:24:04] | justinh1: | cd burners used to be like ££££££££ |
[09:24:04] | nutron: | Aye, I remember. |
[09:24:11] | justinh1: | then they were like £££££ |
[09:24:18] | justinh1: | and then £££... and so on :) |
[09:24:25] | nutron: | And so forth. |
[09:24:28] | justinh1: | now we get CD burners free in boxes of cornflakes |
[09:24:30] | AndyCap: | so if home vinly cutters take off.. :P |
[09:24:57] | justinh1: | hahahahaha I remember spending half a month's wages on my first CD burner & SCSI card |
[09:25:10] | nutron: | I'm getting the nagging feeling that part of my missing recordings has to do with IO. Looks like it's always in wait state. Though my loadavg never goes higher than 1.8 or so. |
[09:25:17] | Beirdo: | now a coffee almost costs more |
[09:25:18] | nutron: | Dual core, I guess that's acceptable. |
[09:25:57] | nutron: | justinh1, I remember holding out for the 2x drives... bought a philips pos for 400 dollars. It broke within 2 weeks. |
[09:26:38] | justinh1: | my first burner must've done over a thousand discs before it gave up |
[09:26:43] | nutron: | Have you guys ever heard of IO causing missing chunks of recordings? |
[09:26:51] | justinh1: | nutron: nope |
[09:27:02] | nutron: | justinh1, it was a design flaw. I went through 3 different ones before I gave up. |
[09:27:02] | justinh1: | a system like yours shouldn't be IO bound |
[09:27:17] | nutron: | justinh1, Yeah I know, but I'm grasping here. |
[09:27:25] | justinh1: | nutron: unless you've got a raid array of 128MB USB sticks :P |
[09:27:33] | nutron: | lol!!!! |
[09:27:38] | nutron: | haha, that's something I'd do... |
[09:27:53] | justinh1: | that's something clever or dustybin'd do too |

[09:31:04] | nutron: | what's the largest message a sane email server will take? I've set mine at work to 2gigs :) (a clever attempt at having management deal with departed employees home folders) |
[09:31:26] | nutron: | seeing that policy states that blah blah blah.. i have hundreds of gigs of files that haven't been touched since 1999 |
[09:32:49] | justinh1: | OMG.. if you take the year you were born, add your age to it, you get the answer 2011! :-O |

[11:20:10] | balor: | How do I search for string "foo" in the EPG? |
[11:21:40] | justinh1: | from where? |
[11:21:52] | justinh1: | mythfrontend? Manage recordings > search > yada yada yada |
[11:23:34] | justinh1: | come to think about it, it might be cool to be able to search the epg from the screen where the epg is shown, but nobody's coded that. Yet |
[11:25:08] | balor: | ah |
[11:25:25] | balor: | So can I jump to channel 9611? From the "watching live tv" bit |
[11:25:36] | justinh1: | yes |
[11:25:37] | balor: | I did want to search fro "RTE Radio" |
[11:25:46] | balor: | but I've figured out that the channel is 9611 |
[11:26:45] | justinh1: | depending on whether or not you've got 'select changes channels' enabled (I can't remember what the defaull setting is) you use number keys – or number keys followed by SELECT |
[11:27:48] | balor: | It's doing *something* where something may be crashing |
[11:27:52] | justinh1: | ah it's not that setting. see here: http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/User_Manual:Watch_TV |
[11:28:20] | justinh1: | jumping to channels by number is turned off by default? that seems a bit daft |
[11:29:14] | justinh1: | balor: sometimes some things do bad things. Only sometimes. The trick is to know what that something is, and when the some times are |
[11:29:41] | justinh1: | the backend log is a great place to look for hints |
[11:29:49] | balor: | Is there any way to browse to channel X and then say, show this in livetv now? |
[11:29:57] | balor: | Rather than go through live tv. |
[11:30:08] | justinh1: | not that I know of |
[11:30:16] | balor: | i.e. start the livetv at predefined channel X, not the last channle I was looking at |
[11:30:18] | balor: | hmm... |
[11:31:15] | balor: | Given that there are 55000 or so channels on Astra, I'd like to be able to search for channels |
[11:31:19] | justinh1: | I never use live tv :) |
[11:31:29] | justinh1: | 100 channels is way too many |
[11:31:50] | justinh1: | there's not enough quality programming to go round even 100 channels let alone thousands :D |
[11:32:11] | balor: | I use it for the radio |
[11:32:30] | balor: | I live in the UK and want both UK and Irish news (being an Irishman) |

[11:34:11] | balor: | I also want to record |
[11:34:17] | balor: | and view my video collection |
[11:35:35] | justinh1: | then in your position I'd likely trim down the amount of channels to something er.. manageable. I've seen what's available on Astra etc & it's a bewildering array of utter shite |
[11:35:45] | balor: | yeah |
[11:35:58] | balor: | that makes sense |
[11:36:01] | justinh1: | how many religious channels? shopping channels? etc :) |
[11:36:05] | balor: | no idea |
[11:36:13] | justinh1: | loads. that's how many lol |
[11:36:29] | balor: | It'd be nice to have a "make mythtv only reflect the freesat+ channels" option for the UK/IE |
[11:36:31] | justinh1: | there are over 1000 channels available to UK folks |
[11:36:51] | justinh1: | or originated in the UK |
[11:37:28] | justinh1: | when it goes to that sort of number it really makes more sense to look at what you use TV for in terms of what you want to watch programming wise, not channels :) |
[11:38:27] | justinh1: | time taken to decide whether you like what's on a channel at a given time = about 30 secs. 30 secs x 200 channels.. == more than the remaining time of whatever you pick to watch :P |

[11:58:41] | hashbang: | seanhodges: sounds like you're trying to use a different sender address to that which you subscribed with. Check your mail client settings. |
[11:59:27] | balor: | hashbang: You can do that by pressing select. My problem is, with 50000 channels, how to find the channel you want. I'd like some search function |
[12:00:09] | hashbang: | balor: right. Stuffed then, probably. At least the program guide is fairly quick to scroll. But I feel your pain. |
[12:00:34] | hashbang: | balor: I'd probably go to the channel editor in mythweb and make a bunch of channels invisible |
[12:00:54] | hashbang: | balor: come to think of it, your browser can search for things in that page |
[12:00:55] | balor: | I'll do that. I only found mythweb last week. |
[12:01:20] | hashbang: | balor: you'll end up with RSI in your radio box clicking finger, but... |
[12:01:32] | hashbang: | it's probably the /quickest/ way of achieving what you want |
[12:01:55] | hashbang: | heh, or just use a SQL update to make everything /invisible/ then select the things you want visible. :-) |
[12:02:10] | hashbang: | might be easiest with 50K channels. |
[12:02:43] | balor: | good idea |

[15:31:33] | wagnerrp: | pretty sure none of the iParts do hardware decoding of divx, and none of them has enough power to do it in software |
[15:31:49] | JEDIDIAH__: | yeah... |
[15:31:55] | wagnerrp: | 'course i dont know why anyone would use hd divx anyway |
[15:32:28] | wagnerrp: | or any of the ASP blends |
[15:34:46] | JEDIDIAH__: | ...probably the same reason mythtv used it. |
[15:35:19] | wagnerrp: | because the code was written 8 years ago when h264 wasnt even finalized, and no one has bothered to update it? |
[15:36:30] | JEDIDIAH__: | sounds like the classic legacy problem. |
[15:37:57] | JEDIDIAH__: | although even now h264 still doesn't make so much sense for transcoding TV that will be watched and then discarded. |
[15:38:27] | wagnerrp: | h264 doesnt make so much sense for transcoding TV that will be stored either |
[15:39:31] | JEDIDIAH__: | Sure it does. It's remarkably more efficient. (storagewise) |
[15:40:04] | JEDIDIAH__: | for some devices, it's not even an option anyways. |
[15:40:07] | wagnerrp: | 2–3x more efficient, sure |
[15:40:18] | wagnerrp: | but with a huge power cost for compression |
[15:40:56] | wagnerrp: | that power cost is not inconsequential |
[15:41:08] | wagnerrp: | and is a good portion of the cost of the storage space you would otherwise be saving |
[15:41:42] | wagnerrp: | IMHO, the only reason for transcoding mythtv content is to support those some devices thjat require specific formats |

[18:49:17] | cal_: | thx |
[18:53:24] | nutron: | sphery: it looks good, plzip... is that compatible with any other format or is it its own? |
[18:54:42] | jcarlos: | Can I set a particular channel not to update its EIT in a system with EIT enabled ? |
[18:54:45] | kormoc: | plzip == pzip == xz afaik |
[18:54:49] | kormoc: | it's all LZMA |
[18:55:15] | nutron: | a'ight, so this should take a while :) |
[18:55:30] | sphery: | nutron: different specific file format, but same LZMA algorithm |
[18:55:32] | kormoc: | jcarlos, in the channel editor set useonairguide = negative |
[18:55:49] | nutron: | heh first time i've seen top report a program using 200% cpu |
[18:55:50] | sphery: | so if you use lzip or plzip, you'll need to use the same to decompress |
[18:55:56] | sphery: | something like 7-zip may also support 9it |
[18:56:10] | sphery: | heh, threads are great on multicore |
[18:56:13] | jcarlos: | kormoc: Thanks |
[18:56:17] | kormoc: | I'm fairly sure lzip and plzip work together |
[18:56:26] | sphery: | right |
[18:56:27] | jcarlos: | kormoc: And i |
[18:56:28] | nutron: | sphery: indeed, I was just asking about the algo really, trying to gauge the time I have to twiddle my diddles. |
[18:56:35] | sphery: | "the same" meant lzip or plzip |
[18:56:59] | sphery: | versus using something like xz, which is also LZMA, but doesn't support the lz format |
[18:57:19] | jcarlos: | kormoc: And if I uncheck the "Visible" check it keeps updating EIT if "Use on air guide" is checked ? |
[18:57:22] | sphery: | nutron: with plzip, almost exactly half as much time as with lzip :) |
[18:57:32] | sphery: | (it's really that good at scaling) |
[18:57:36] | kormoc: | jcarlos, no idea |
[18:57:47] | kormoc: | (assuming your IO system can handle it) |
[18:58:11] | nutron: | right. I tried this insane compressor .. can't remember the name now, but on a dual cpu octo core, it took 8 days to compress a 7.8 gb dvd vob set... tried it because I wanted to see if it actually _did_ compress pre-compressed files. |
[18:58:23] | nutron: | 8-something-or-other... lzma based |
[18:58:23] | sphery: | jcarlos: http://code.mythtv.org/trac/ticket/7908 |
[18:58:34] | ** kormoc raises an eyebrow ** | |
[18:58:47] | kormoc: | sounds like you have a horrible IO system if it takes 8 days to process 7.8 gb |
[18:59:02] | jcarlos: | sphery: Hehe ... thanks you know all ... :-) |
[18:59:12] | kormoc: | my lowly 8 core box would handle that under an hour I'm sure |
[18:59:13] | nutron: | kormoc: nah, it was the compressor... it had sliding windows, tried different sizes until it found the best possible solution |
[18:59:14] | sphery: | heh |
[18:59:27] | ** kormoc raises an eyebrow ** | |
[18:59:34] | sphery: | kormoc: I wouldn't be surprised if xz took that long |
[18:59:46] | kormoc: | that's a lesson in fruitlessness |
[18:59:49] | nutron: | it was in a "funded" test... really can't remember the name now |
[18:59:52] | kormoc: | sphery, that bad eh? |
[19:00:18] | sphery: | xz takes much longer |
[19:00:21] | nutron: | heh, I tried it as an experiment... it was a waste of time, I think it managed to save 300mb or so |
[19:00:33] | kormoc: | I've really only used plzip |
[19:00:47] | kormoc: | as everything I have is multicore/multicpu |
[19:00:58] | sphery: | on my 320MB DB, it took 14s for gzip, and 9m for xz |
[19:01:24] | sphery: | and that was simple text (versus already-compressed binary) |
[19:01:26] | nutron: | heh crazy |
[19:01:51] | sphery: | and I think as the input size increases, the time required increases non-linearly with LZMA |
[19:02:29] | nutron: | 8pak I think it was called |

[19:07:56] | sphery: | heh |
[19:09:01] | nutron: | hm I give up... it was called 8 pak something. Due to it being the 8th attempt at super compression. |
[19:10:02] | toeb: | ahhh, now both remote frontends get stuck at "please wait..." and only the frontend on the same machine as the backend is starting livetv! |
[19:10:20] | wagnerrp: | can the remote frontends play recordings? |
[19:12:45] | toeb: | yes, i even can use one one frontend to start live tv, this frontend gets stuck at the "please wait..." screen. then go to the other frontend and use the the livetv recording group to view the recording which i had started on the stuck frontend.... |
[19:13:17] | kormoc: | nutron, 8th? more like 8 hundred thousandth |
[19:13:57] | toeb: | wagnerrp: but as i mentioned before, there are alwas to recordings created, one with 0B and the other is recorded normal |
[19:14:07] | nutron: | oh heh.. no .. by this programmer. |
[19:15:56] | nutron: | Anyhow not important now, the power I wasted with that experiment makes me feel dirty. |

[19:23:46] | kormoc: | so finish it! |
[19:23:50] | mongy: | I have a slight problem with the media library and scanning for videos. I recently reinstalled my os (ubuntu 10.10) and it no longer sees any videos in the folder I set up for it to look in when scanning for changes. Now it worked before but the only thing different with this install is I am now using encrypted home folder, so could that be it? |
[19:24:00] | kormoc: | What sorta geek are you when you can't remote home... :P |
[19:24:11] | kormoc: | mongy, logs? |
[19:24:19] | nutron: | y'know... I had it all running wonderfully ... then I decided it wasn't good enough.. so I tore it all down.. that was 8 months ago.. :) |
[19:24:39] | kormoc: | nutron, spend the 10 minutes and get it going again |
[19:24:47] | nutron: | I know .. I should install windows and call it done |
[19:25:03] | toeb: | could the frontend be sending the command to start livetv accidentally twice? |
[19:25:23] | mongy: | kormoc, which log in particular |
[19:25:23] | kormoc: | unlikely |

[19:25:54] | kormoc: | (.24 has backend scanning, no?) |
[19:25:59] | toeb: | kormoc: but why are there always two recordings created? |
[19:26:01] | kormoc: | nutron, meh. Shorewall makes it easy |

[19:26:15] | Enox2: | Hi. I'm having difficulty with a channel scan on a HVR-1600 for OTR (ATSC?) channels in north america. Whatever I do I seem to get "Failed to find any channels". I'm not even sure where to start to fix this. |
[19:26:18] | kormoc: | wagnerrp, of video files? |
[19:26:34] | wagnerrp: | i dont think that got put in until after the branch |
[19:26:34] | kormoc: | mongy, so make it writable! it's telling you exactly what you need to do... |
[19:26:37] | kormoc: | ahh |
[19:27:00] | Enox2: | OTR=OTA..over the air, sorry. |
[19:27:20] | mongy: | so make group mythtv write access for my home folder.... ok |

[19:29:00] | wagnerrp: | kormoc: no iptables for bsd |
[19:29:27] | kormoc: | shorewall doesn't require iptables does it? it's just a plugin |
[19:29:39] | wagnerrp: | nutron: m0n0wall seems like its abandoned |
[19:29:47] | nutron: | kormoc: yeah heavily uses iptables |
[19:29:49] | kormoc: | ahh, nope, it's only netfilter |
[19:29:51] | wagnerrp: | they still havent upgraded past 6.2 |
[19:29:57] | nutron: | wagnerrp: really? it's pretty though.. |
[19:30:25] | wagnerrp: | i could probably take their web service and update it though |

[19:32:41] | nutron: | any of you know of some small script that pumps system stats into syslog on a regular basis? I'm getting the feeling that there's something wrong with my backend box. |
[19:32:47] | Enox2: | How do I troubleshoot the other two possibilities? |
[19:32:59] | nutron: | I guess I could cron uptime>logger and call it done.. but that's not enough info i'm thinking |
[19:33:57] | nutron: | I screwed the system up when I was upping the ivtv buffers... ran out of addressable space on the pci bus. Played with the memory hole settings like crazy and finally go it to boot up again. |
[19:34:35] | kormoc: | nutron, auditd? Cacti? |
[19:34:53] | Enox2: | Ahh, apparently "default" isn't "us-bcast". I may have some results with "us-bcast" |
[19:35:16] | nutron: | so i have a niggly little feeling that io is being hosed somewhat... i do have some warnings in dmesg that the kernel ends up moving some memory addresses around for different cards... |
[19:35:46] | nutron: | cacti .. well i am running snmp on this box, just haven't setup the cacti poller on the other server .. meh |

[19:46:33] | nutron: | i have sar installed .. i forgot all about it |
[19:46:33] | kormoc: | skd5aner, you can't watch 1080i content, so then you have limited access to your recordings, doesn't support high bitrate streams.... sounds perfect! |
[19:46:37] | wagnerrp: | it doesnt have the power for it |

[19:49:03] | wagnerrp: | when it first came out |
[19:54:10] | Wicked: | you can use xbmc as a frontend. it supports myth:// upto mythtv0.23. 0.24 doesnt work unless in xbcm trunk iirc |
[19:54:30] | kormoc: | Wicked, and doesn't change the limitations of the hardware |
[19:54:32] | wagnerrp: | Wicked: no, you cant |
[19:54:45] | wagnerrp: | XBMC claims to support the hardware decoder, however they managed to pull that off |
[19:54:55] | wagnerrp: | however the hardware decoder cannot do MPEG2 |
[19:55:02] | wagnerrp: | and it is limited in its support of h264 |
[19:55:05] | Wicked: | wagnerrp, hmm. i use xbmc to access my recorded tv from mythtv. |
[19:55:27] | wagnerrp: | sure, you /can/ use XBMC to access recorded content in mythtv |
[19:55:42] | kormoc: | Wicked, we're talking about XbMC on the Apple TV |
[19:56:01] | wagnerrp: | but using XBMC instead of the first party Apple video players on the ATV does not make it magically capable of handling video beyond the capabilities of the hardware |

[19:57:23] | wagnerrp: | im interested as to how they got access to the hardware decoders |
[19:57:28] | Wicked: | well from what he said it can handle hw decoding...but can only output @ 720 |
[19:57:34] | kormoc: | Wicked, so what are you saying? We're saying XbMC on atv does not support anything other then low bit rate 720p h264. Are you diagreeing? |
[19:58:03] | Wicked: | im only going on what the guy who developed the atv port told me.... |
[19:58:07] | kormoc: | wagnerrp, new atv is the same as the intel gsa 600 gfx card. Same drivers should work for both |

[19:58:39] | kormoc: | skd5aner, when? |
[19:58:47] | skd5aner: | [21 14:46] <+kormoc> skd5aner, you can't watch 1080i content, so then you have limited access to your recordings, doesn't support high bitrate streams.... sounds perfect! |
[19:58:56] | wagnerrp: | kormoc: i knew it used the same SGX535 as the GMA500, but i didnt think the drivers would apply so easily |
[19:59:01] | kormoc: | Wicked, and when folks have sent 1080i content to it, it barfed |
[19:59:17] | kormoc: | skd5aner, yes I did |
[19:59:18] | wagnerrp: | Wicked: if thats the case, then apple is intentionally crippling that chip |
[19:59:19] | Wicked: | 1080p |
[19:59:24] | wagnerrp: | they only claim support for L3.1 content |
[19:59:31] | skd5aner: | k, wanted to make sure I wasn't confused or something |
[19:59:33] | skd5aner: | thx |
[19:59:33] | Wicked: | and the sourcecode for it is here: https://github.com/xbmc/atv2 |
[19:59:39] | Wicked: | waiting to be merged back in |
[19:59:40] | kormoc: | Wicked, 1080p isn't being broadcasted in the world |
[19:59:55] | Wicked: | no but blurays are iirc |
[20:00:11] | kormoc: | bluerays are way too high bitrate to send to the device |

[20:00:50] | wagnerrp: | you can convert some 1080i content to 1080p |
[20:01:07] | sdkovacs: | sounds like a lot of hoops to jump through. |
[20:01:08] | kormoc: | Wicked, you're making it sound so perfect of a device! |
[20:01:19] | Wicked: | and you guys are trashing it. |
[20:01:26] | Wicked: | im not saying its the best thing. |
[20:01:29] | wagnerrp: | Wicked: yes, we are |
[20:01:34] | Wicked: | but its a cool device and cool they got it ported to it. |
[20:01:37] | sceo: | I'm confused about storage groups in my setup. I have two backends, a master and a secondary. I also have two laptops, which are only frontends. On the frontends, I can see the recordings and watch live TV, but there's nothing for "Watch Videos." However, both backends can see the videos no problem. How can I configure it so my frontends also see my videos? |
[20:01:45] | wagnerrp: | because according to the specs listed on the apple website... http://www.apple.com/appletv/specs.html |
[20:01:46] | Wicked: | *alot* of people will happily use it for movies and media |
[20:01:47] | kormoc: | Wicked, we're saying as a mythtv frontend it's not worth it. Nothing more, nothing less |
[20:01:49] | wagnerrp: | its pretty much garbage |
[20:02:19] | kormoc: | Wicked, I think a lot of people will be disappointed with it like the ones I know who have used it so far |
[20:02:26] | wagnerrp: | Wicked: according to the advertised capability, they sized it specifically to handle low bitrate content available through iTunes |
[20:03:02] | wagnerrp: | which means the hardware is insufficient to handle any broadcast HD, retail HD media |
[20:03:29] | Enox2: | Ok, I've been trying for a hour to get a channel scan going. Any suggestions on what might be misconfigured? |
[20:03:35] | kormoc: | Wicked, other then the ones downloading [720P XbMC ATV RIP] |
[20:03:40] | Enox2: | Is there some sort of howto or step-by-step to follow? |
[20:03:49] | wagnerrp: | now if they intentionally gimped the device in software to prevent people from having access to that content |
[20:03:55] | kormoc: | Enox2, in the wiki |
[20:04:01] | wagnerrp: | then XBMC may very well be able to pull a lot more power out of it |
[20:04:04] | Enox2: | I didn't really see a step-by-step in there. |
[20:04:15] | Enox2: | I read a lot of general information, however. |
[20:04:18] | wagnerrp: | and honestly, i wouldnt put it past apple to do so |
[20:04:38] | toeb: | can i chanche the -v of the backend while it is running? |
[20:04:41] | wagnerrp: | Wicked: but at least from the advertised specs, its no good for mythtv |
[20:06:13] | sdkovacs: | they explain here how davilla got access to the Apple Hardware API |
[20:06:16] | sdkovacs: | http://www.tuaw.com/2011/01/20/xbmc-for-ios-a . . . w-available/ |
[20:06:23] | Wicked: | maybe for a hd setup. it would prob work fine with my SD content |
[20:06:23] | wagnerrp: | for SD content, it should be fine |
[20:06:23] | Wicked: | since i dont have hdtv |
[20:06:27] | Enox2: | SEarched for "failed to find any channels" "howto" and such have failed to provide useful results on the wiki. |
[20:06:32] | wagnerrp: | again, according to the specs, the device is incapable of handling mpeg2 in hardware |
[20:06:40] | wagnerrp: | but the ARM chip should have enough power for decoding in software |
[20:07:40] | Enox2: | The bias seems to suggest once it's installed it should "just work". This hasn't been anywhere near my experience. |
[20:08:36] | wagnerrp: | sdkovacs: the only thing i see there is it plays '1080p' |
[20:08:40] | wagnerrp: | i have no idea what that means |

[20:11:42] | wagnerrp: | sdkovacs: im saying theres an absolutely huge range of requirements that 'h264' and even '1080p' can encompass |
[20:12:03] | wagnerrp: | unless you define a standard, such as 'bluray' or 'dvb-t2' |
[20:12:11] | wagnerrp: | that makes no indication on the power of the device |
[20:12:12] | sdkovacs: | wagnerrp:I understand.I'm just providing links to the API |
[20:12:25] | Wicked: | it looks like(from the video) to be playing a x264 video @ ~3mb fine. But it was not really a high action scene. |
[20:12:54] | wagnerrp: | Wicked: heck, the ARM on that can probably handle a 3mbps h264 video fine in software |
[20:13:08] | Wicked: | doubtful |
[20:13:14] | wagnerrp: | and some people think that bitrate is good enough for 720p |
[20:13:48] | Wicked: | like i said it wasnt a high action scene. im guessing it can handle higher bitrates as well. |
[20:14:13] | wagnerrp: | until someone posts some performance benchmarks, there is no way of knowing |
[20:14:28] | Enox2: | http://www.mythtv.org/docs/mythtv-HOWTO.html#toc1 doesn't seem to cover what I'm experiencing. Any suggestions where to go, or just give up? |
[20:14:32] | wagnerrp: | and the capabilities published by apple say it cant |

[21:32:40] | justinh: | seriously considering modifying my hardware though, to just bypass the IR part & connect directly, but that presents the problem of the standard IR receivers filtering out the carrier – so any data sent can't be based on existing codes unless irsend has a nocarrier option or summink |

[21:33:57] | justinh: | Beirdo: I've gathered that the best place is way in front of the units you're controlling.. which kinda sucks if you want to conceal it any |
[21:34:04] | wagnerrp: | anyone know if you can build a transmitter with a PL2303? |
[21:34:28] | wagnerrp: | board doesnt have any serial ports |
[21:34:39] | justinh: | wagnerrp: maybe, but not according to lirc.org |
[21:34:53] | ** Beirdo cues some KLF. ** | |
[21:34:54] | justinh: | they say it's micro, FDTI chip or bust for USB |
[21:35:13] | justinh: | and from what I've seen of the FDTI stuff it's way young yet |
[21:36:04] | wagnerrp: | shame... need to find a way to blast |
[21:36:23] | Beirdo: | tis easiest to buy a mceusb ;) |
[21:36:26] | wagnerrp: | i burned up one of my MCEUSB transmitters by plugging it into a battery to see if it would even light up |
[21:36:39] | Beirdo: | eek |
[21:36:52] | Beirdo: | you can buy replacement transmitters on Amazon |
[21:36:54] | wagnerrp: | Beirdo: problem is i would have to run two boxes |
[21:37:10] | wagnerrp: | TV (and receiver) is too far away to hook the blasters into |
[21:37:17] | Beirdo: | ahh |
[21:37:33] | wagnerrp: | and irsend doesnt work well with multiple units |
[21:37:46] | Beirdo: | well, not without a fair amount of work, yea |
[21:38:49] | wagnerrp: | plus i figured serial would have at least some chance of working on freebsd |
[21:39:17] | Beirdo: | heh, it needs to use the CTS/RTS lines or something like that, not Tx/Rx |
[21:39:34] | Beirdo: | not sure how that would be controlled for PL2303 |
[21:40:01] | Beirdo: | is there a FIRC? |
[21:40:26] | Beirdo: | i.e. does LIRC even run right in FreeBSD? |
[21:40:50] | wagnerrp: | it even runs on windows |
[21:41:03] | Beirdo: | heh |
[21:41:04] | Beirdo: | K |
[21:41:36] | justinh: | yeah & it even works with usb-serial converters in windows |
[21:41:37] | wagnerrp: | it works, but driver support is lacking |
[21:41:46] | justinh: | I tested mine with a cheap usb serial thing from ebay |
[21:42:01] | justinh: | but not in linux, which I find strange |
[21:42:41] | justinh: | wagnerrp: according to search results lirc'll work with PL2303 |
[21:43:25] | justinh: | ah no.. not homebrew lirc hardware |
[21:43:47] | justinh: | so yer gonna need a micro |

[23:52:27] | k-man: | gdb is giving me this warning: warning: core file may not match specified executable file |
[23:52:33] | wagnerrp: | sid3windr: a t3 will never fail because youre paying very large sums of money to ensure it never fails |
[23:52:45] | nutron_: | Beirdo: lol cbc just played Helix |
[23:53:04] | k-man: | is that warning a problem? |
[23:53:38] | wagnerrp: | k-man: yes, it means you cannot make a valid backtrace |
[23:53:53] | Beirdo: | nutron_: nice |
[23:54:10] | k-man: | wagnerrp: ok, i'll try rebuilding mythtv |
[23:54:23] | wagnerrp: | helix? |
[23:54:37] | wagnerrp: | k-man: there is no sensible reason you should be getting that error |
[23:54:40] | k-man: | does make install strip the binaries? |
[23:54:48] | Beirdo: | oh trust me... T3s do fail |
[23:54:54] | wagnerrp: | unless you crashed, and subsequently updated mythtv |
[23:55:00] | k-man: | wagnerrp: no idea why i'm getting it |
[23:55:07] | Beirdo: | and when they do... it causes much pain :) |
[23:55:09] | k-man: | wagnerrp: nope |
[23:55:21] | wagnerrp: | Beirdo: sure, but when youre paying >$1000/mo so that someone calls YOU when it goes down |
