[00:00:49] bumblebeebat: I am thinking it might be easier just to re-install, I have no clue why the detect audio devices would not work
[00:01:20] bumblebeebat: I have tried re-installing alsa-base with no luck
[00:08:57] mycoDA: bumblebeebat – there is also something to be said for 10.04 – lot of buntu-ites are stayin with the LTS release
[00:10:51] bumblebeebat: what do you mean by buntu-ites
[00:12:36] wagnerrp: people who use [u/myth]buntu
[00:13:49] bumblebeebat: ahhhh, yeah, looks like there are some big changes on the horizon
[00:13:58] zombor (zombor!~zombor_@kohana/developer/zombor) has quit (Remote host closed the connection)
[00:14:23] bumblebeebat: It might be a good time to stick with something stable
[00:15:57] mycoDA: apparently the mythbuntu team will be releasing all myth versions for 10.04 til 12.04 comes out
[00:16:13] mycoDA: april next year obviously lol
[00:16:46] wagnerrp: 'big changes on the horizon' would be for 0.25
[00:17:03] wagnerrp: 11.04 will not ship with 0.25
[00:17:07] bumblebeebat: makes sense, I think unity is to make things a bit less stable

[00:18:18] bumblebeebat: I was talking to changes to ubuntu, but those will not be included in mythbuntu
[00:18:52] bumblebeebat: can anyone suggest an alternative distro
[00:19:42] [R]: wagnerrp: trying to use mythfs.py again... still getting errors from samba :(

[00:30:21] wagnerrp: anyone watching chaos?
[00:30:54] tmkt: charos?
[00:31:00] tmkt: chaos even
[00:32:08] wagnerrp: nevermind
[00:32:30] wagnerrp: i was going to say they did a ___really___awful___ actor switch between the pilot and second episode
[00:32:34] wagnerrp: but its not the same character
[00:32:54] tmkt: new show? what channel?
[00:33:00] tmkt: looking for something new to watch
[00:33:03] wagnerrp: CBS, now

[00:38:45] sphery: wagnerrp: chaos is already listed as "almost definitely will be cancelled"
[00:39:09] wagnerrp: sphery: yeah, i figured as much
[00:39:14] wagnerrp: but... its not bad while it lasts
[00:39:26] sphery: they said that Breaking In did well, though
[00:39:43] wagnerrp: really? i thought that was bad...
[00:39:53] tmkt: Mad Love is bad..
[00:40:22] sphery: I admit that I can't make a subjective decision on Mad Love
[00:40:25] tmkt: Office with will ferrell was good last night, and modern family on wed was pretty good
[00:40:35] sphery: I didn't like Will Ferrell on Office
[00:40:43] tmkt: I prefer the prerfect couples show more then mad love
[00:40:46] mycoDA: j-e-f-f-a daylight saving is over – its 10:340 am for us
[00:41:29] sphery: I wasn't a fan of Perfect Couples. Better With You was not too bad, though.
[00:41:34] tmkt: using boxee today for the main reason for buying it..mlnbtv..works great
[00:41:46] tmkt: wanted to check out breakin in
[00:41:58] tmkt: Did you ssee Defenders or Ordinary Family?
[00:42:01] tmkt: enjoyed those 2
[00:42:04] tmkt: Shameless...was great

[00:58:22] mzb: .
[01:03:55] mycoDA: hey mzb
[01:04:09] mzb: gday
[01:04:50] mycoDA: whats happinin on the pudenda of the world?
[01:04:52] sphery: wagnerrp: ah, just figured out where the Nyquist frequency quote came from
[01:08:07] mzb: opportunity keeps knocking on my door, atm ;)
[01:08:54] mycoDA: surprises me that the master backend cant do a schedule run say once a day after data grab, hand off schedules to a slave backend and shut down letting something tiny do the actual recording
[01:09:09] mzb: starting to wonder if I need a sign on the door that says "Opportunities accepted, this week's minimum price = $XXX/hr"
[01:09:22] mycoDA: lol
[01:09:44] mycoDA: even an arm chip could handle the load of recording
[01:10:45] GreyFoxx: schedules change for a lot of reasons, it's smarter (and built in) to shutdown the slaves except when they are needed to do recordings
[01:11:16] zombor (zombor!~zombor_@kohana/developer/zombor) has quit (Remote host closed the connection)
[01:13:00] mycoDA: not unless you fetch data they dont lol
[01:13:24] GreyFoxx: yes they do
[01:13:43] mycoDA: may be useful in the US i spose, but the only option over her is shepherd and it only fetches once a day (or moans endlessly)
[01:13:55] GreyFoxx: if you delete a recording and tell it to go ahead and record again later if it's on, then a reschedule wuold be needed (it might be on in 5 minutes)
[01:14:09] GreyFoxx: If you have DVB and get listings that constantly change or get updated over the wire
[01:14:34] GreyFoxx: if you have it set to only record 5 episodes of a show, and delete 1 it will attempt to record another one
[01:14:42] GreyFoxx: there are tons of reasons
[01:16:01] mycoDA: master backend would need to be up to delete a recording, so that is 2 o those gone
[01:16:25] GreyFoxx: So you would want a system where you couldn't delete a recording?
[01:16:32] mycoDA: sure – if you are constantly grabbing schedule data you need the master backend, that too is obvious
[01:16:39] GreyFoxx: the master backend also controls autoexpiry
[01:17:20] mycoDA: no – it would be cool to be able to shut down the master backend (that needs to be able to do a lot more than just record) after it farmed out recordings
[01:17:23] mzb: pointless doing EPG OTA here ... quality is very poor
[01:17:40] mycoDA: obviously for playback and deletion etc, it needs to be up
[01:18:06] [R] ([R]!~rbox@unaffiliated/rbox) has quit (Quit: Leaving)
[01:18:09] GreyFoxx: I've shutdown my master backend while a slave was recording, but that was just momentarily
[01:18:12] mycoDA: but i would think most of us would spend a lot less time watching than the machine is up waiting to record, or downloading or whatever
[01:18:48] wagnerrp: tmkt: did defenders end up getting canned?
[01:18:57] mycoDA: having a fusion box or even arm doing that would potentially save a reasonable bit o power
[01:19:23] GreyFoxx: myco: Hence why my master backend is also the house dhcp server, file server for all content including video/recording and the slaves go to sleep when not needed
[01:19:27] wagnerrp: mycoDA: if your backend has tuners, then its not going to be allowed to shut down
[01:19:40] wagnerrp: if your backend is a low power machine without tuners, why bother shutting it down?
[01:20:08] wagnerrp: GreyFoxx: you ever use mythmessage?
[01:20:29] GreyFoxx: I was playing with it the other day :)
[01:20:48] wagnerrp: what is the command line syntax
[01:20:58] wagnerrp: there seems to be a conflict between what the help says, and what the code says
[01:21:04] wagnerrp: i cant make heads or tails of it
[01:21:52] GreyFoxx: mythmessage --message_text="Test"
[01:22:06] GreyFoxx: And add the other values if you direct it to a single fe
[01:22:31] wagnerrp: only... message_text is not a valid option
[01:22:51] mycoDA: wagnerrp – that is my point – a machine with tuners doesnt inherently need to be the machine with the sql and scheduling etc conceptually
[01:22:58] wagnerrp: from what i can tell... you could run 'mythmessage --fark-bars="Test"' and get the same effect
[01:23:30] wagnerrp: mycoDA: no, but that is an unofficial, and relatively untested, setup
[01:23:35] mycoDA: i am not saying it is architecturally possible now – just that it would be cool if it were
[01:23:38] wagnerrp: however it is also one that some of us intend to go
[01:24:04] wagnerrp: a generic daemon, that runs everything
[01:24:18] mycoDA: that if the scheduler and schedule runner could be separated, a slave could just have a schedule runner and record threads, in a nas even
[01:24:28] wagnerrp: on the master, it starts up the process running the embedded database, recording, disk, and job schedulers
[01:24:49] sphery: wagnerrp: best "documentation" for it is probably: http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/mythtv/ . . . 70122#470122
[01:24:51] wagnerrp: everywhere else, it starts up a stripped down backend containing the recorder and file server
[01:24:58] mycoDA: nice
[01:25:19] mycoDA: but.... can the master shut down and the slaves still record?
[01:25:30] wagnerrp: other machines, it would start up a jobqueue, or a dedicated file server
[01:25:57] wagnerrp: in the event of a master shutdown, the slaves will continue doing whatever they were last doing, and then idle loop waiting for the master to come back online
[01:26:15] wagnerrp: i dont think any possible future architecture would allow anything to function without the master
[01:26:25] sphery: mycoDA: you can't let the workers in without a boss to manage them
[01:26:27] wagnerrp: besides perhaps a detached frontend, laptop to take on trips
[01:26:36] mycoDA: why not let thm keep a set of schedules that could keep em going for say 12 or 24h
[01:26:59] sphery: mycoDA: because when they're all operating independently, what happens when there are conflicts/overlap
[01:27:07] sphery: besides, you /need/ the database
[01:27:15] mycoDA: you can send em out with a defined schedule tho sphery
[01:27:19] sphery: so why would you want the master to shut down?
[01:27:28] sphery: mycoDA: but schedules change
[01:27:34] mycoDA: power mainly (from an eco pov)
[01:27:38] wagnerrp: there is no good reason to take the master down, and leave other stuff running
[01:27:40] sphery: for reasons like GreyFoxx mentioned, and many more
[01:27:57] sphery: mycoDA: but you need the database... so it has to run somewhere
[01:28:03] mycoDA: grey foxx only metioned stuff that needs the dbase up anyway
[01:28:04] sphery: your low powered systems probably aren't up to the task
[01:28:15] mycoDA: sphery – that is the point
[01:28:21] sphery: so you keep your master running and have it shut itself down when not needed
[01:28:28] mycoDA: the database is not conceptually neede for everything
[01:28:41] sphery: mycoDA: what I'm saying is that even /while/ recording, we need the database
[01:28:57] mycoDA: at the moment
[01:29:10] sphery: how do you think fun things like seek tables and recording information get written into the db?
[01:29:25] mycoDA: could be done later when it comes back up
[01:29:37] sphery: anyway, as wagnerrp said, you'll be able to put the master backend wherever you want--even if it doesn't have tuners
[01:30:04] mycoDA: the point was more allowing recordings to happen without the database for a while
[01:30:11] sphery: it's called master/slave for a reason (and not peer2peer)
[01:30:17] mycoDA: yep
[01:30:42] mycoDA: nothing you have said makes it impractical
[01:31:05] mycoDA: i am not saying it should happen in 0.25
[01:31:14] mycoDA: maybe would be nice by 1.0 tho :P
[01:31:20] sphery: well, come up with a patch that wins over those (like me) who think it's a bad idea
[01:31:33] mycoDA: would be more than a patch
[01:31:37] mycoDA: lol
[01:31:39] sphery: heh, yeah
[01:31:55] sphery: but I think you'll be happy enough when you see what we /do/ have planned
[01:32:06] mycoDA: it would likely require a separting out a schedule runner and record threads from the rest of the backend
[01:32:17] mycoDA: i know i will sphery
[01:32:22] mycoDA: myth is already amazing
[01:32:30] sphery: we are doing that
[01:32:34] mycoDA: any better is just cherries
[01:32:41] sphery: but we're still planning to maintain the master/slave architecture
[01:32:51] mycoDA: not saying it shouldnt
[01:32:54] sphery: rather than the "free-for-all recorders" approach :)
[01:33:28] mycoDA: just that a slave could hold onto enough commands to keep it going through the work day after the boss has given it its work schedule
[01:33:45] mycoDA: the boss can still call up with urgent jobs of course and change it all
[01:33:57] mycoDA: btu what boss doesnt like a long lunch?
[01:34:04] wagnerrp: separating out the record tasks is something planned
[01:34:18] wagnerrp: but the database and schedulers are something core that IMHO should stay in the master
[01:34:36] mycoDA: i dont think scheduling should come out
[01:34:55] mycoDA: just an ability for a slave to run a scheduled job que assigned by the master scheduler
[01:34:57] wagnerrp: although i always intend to have a big monolithic server somewhere in my house
[01:35:04] sphery: mycoDA: ok, here's the problem... a slave is given a "do this for the next 12 hours"... the backend boots back up 2 hours later, pulls a new schedule, and needs to change the instructions, but the network isn't responding, so the remote backend records all the wrong things--while, in the meantime, the master recorded some of those shows itself... now the network comes up, and the remote backend tries to report its stuff... what do we ...
[01:35:08] mycoDA: it shouldnt be able to make decisions for itself
[01:35:10] sphery: ... do now?
[01:35:57] mycoDA: same as you would if the network had been down before – get rid of it – tho you might be able to keep stuff the master didnt grab
[01:36:08] mycoDA: before there would have been nothing
[01:36:26] sphery: we'd have to figure out what the slave /did/ grab--remember there was a schedule/listings change
[01:36:42] sphery: anyway, it's confusion for no good reason
[01:36:57] mycoDA: both slave and master should have the info on what channels and times it was scheduled for
[01:37:03] sphery: when you can run a Core 2 Duo Mobile system at 10W or a Core i3/i5 /Desktop/ System at 25W
[01:37:17] mycoDA: or an arm at 1W lol
[01:37:45] sphery: just design your system better and you can have your power savings /and/ put the database, scheduler, and at least a couple tuners all on a nice machine
[01:37:57] sphery: which means fewer points of failure
[01:40:17] sphery: and if you think about it... an ARM system running at 1W (let's say 0 to make the math easy/interesting) compared to a poorly-designed backend running at 150W. You do 4 hours of recording a day. So, that's 150W * 4hr = 600 Wh/day or 18kWh/mo. At average US price/kWh of $0.12/kWh, that's $2.16 you didn't save.
[01:40:19] GreyFoxx: The new web setup interface is looking pretty spiffy :) Nice to see all the progress going on
[01:40:32] sphery: Now, design your backend better and you can cut that in half without trying
[01:41:29] sphery: basically, when you drop power usage from 150W to 75W, that's a 50% improvement, but it's hugely more important than a drop from 10W to 1W (or even 25W to 1W)
[01:41:40] sphery: thus, my manifesto: http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/mythtv/users/448321#448321
[01:41:52] sphery: shut down systems when not in use and you'll save power/money
[01:42:18] sphery: but using an Atom or an ARM because it's low power won't necessarily save you enough to make it worthwhile
[01:42:32] sphery: especially if you just build a proper powerful system in the first place
[01:44:07] sphery: Anyway, I'm a big fan of saving power--until it becomes a lossy proposition (you lose more from trying to save than you gain)--which is why I don't have any power-constrained systems. Instead, I buy power-efficient systems.
[01:45:39] mycoDA: there is no point discussing alternatives to a personal manifesto i find
[01:47:58] sphery: heh, well, I'm just saying that swapping your 10mpg car for a 20mpg car is /much/ more useful than swapping your 20mpg car for a 40mpg car
[01:48:10] sphery: and there are way too many people who don't seem to realize that
[01:48:25] sphery: both may be double the fuel efficiency, but the first saves a /lot/ more fuel
[01:50:05] mycoDA: being from a family of accountants and economists, the law of diminishing returns is a familiar friend
[01:51:53] sphery: heh, yeah. anyway, I think what we have planned--when we actually get it implemented--will be enough to give you a lot of options you currently miss
[01:52:03] sphery: and will allow you to get some good efficiency from the system
[01:55:37] mycoDA: i had a fair idea that i had heard you guys talking about pulling out the recording threads :) once that is done it didnt seem an enormous task (and a fairly minor jump in logic, listening to friends on efnet #desktops chattin about ruddy NAS units running clients for this an that) for a slave backend to have a job que
[01:59:29] wagnerrp: actually, slave backends will not have job queues
[02:01:07] wagnerrp: sphery: beginning of fringe, theyre trying to transfer someone's consciousness into a cadaver
[02:01:18] wagnerrp: sparks fly, circuit breakers trip, nothing happens
[02:01:32] wagnerrp: they return a (now noticeably breathing) cadaver to the medical collage

[02:34:29] wagnerrp: hey, im just talking about drugs, thats every couple episodes in fringe
[02:35:18] sphery: guh... looks like another HDD is failing (a 750GB in my remote backend)
[02:35:32] sphery: and I still don't have the one I got back after an RMA working, yet
[02:36:49] sphery: and I may not be able to watch tonight's Fringe tonight because of it (seems to be stored in the sectors that are having problems)
[02:37:48] sphery: skd5aner: and I was just talking about Abby Normal's brain
[02:40:31] sphery: and the worst part of the remote backend's hard drive failing is that the system doesn't have on-board SATA, so I either get a replacement IDE drive or have to jump through hoops and/or replace the mobo/cpu/ram
[02:41:53] mycoDA: or ide-sata, or usb-sata
[02:42:20] wagnerrp: mmm... product placement
[02:42:24] mycoDA: or put /boot on usb
[02:42:26] sphery: I have a PCI SATA card that's already using both ports
[02:42:38] sphery: but those are the hoops I'm talking about
[02:45:35] wagnerrp: yeah, sprint is paying a lot of money to keep fringe on the air

[03:47:28] skd5aner: the product placement for the ford sync is a little over the top whenever they do it
[03:47:55] skd5aner: "Call Peter – hey, look how well that worked... it's dialing peter!"
[03:48:24] wagnerrp: yeah well... nothing beats modern family
[03:48:28] wagnerrp: and heroes was a close second
[03:48:50] skd5aner: heh – modern family can basically do no wrong in my eyes ;)
[03:49:12] skd5aner: which product placemetns are over the top?
[03:49:20] skd5aner: I don't recall any in particular?
[03:49:34] skd5aner: heroes – what a waste of way too many hours of my life
[03:49:51] wagnerrp: the ipad ad?
[03:50:04] skd5aner: yea – but I found that more funny than anything
[03:50:26] skd5aner: satirical almost
[03:50:28] wagnerrp: the whole friggen episode that was an ad for a single product
[03:50:42] wagnerrp: come children, lets sit around the animated video of a fire
[03:50:49] skd5aner: yea – basically making fun of fanbois
[03:50:53] skd5aner: but still
[03:51:18] skd5aner: In that episode I'd rather them really use the "ipad" than the "tablet 5000" or some other fictional thing
[03:52:07] skd5aner: There's been other shows, I think 30 rock might have been one of them, where they do product placement in an almost mocking kind of way
[03:52:19] wagnerrp: kormoc_afk: why swap files over a partition?
[03:52:21] skd5aner: I find that pretty fnny too
[03:52:25] skd5aner: anyway – good night!

[04:02:10] ** wagnerrp is excited about cowboys fighting aliens **
[04:02:24] sphery: gotta say that Broyles is doing great in this episode
[04:02:46] wagnerrp: that was great
[04:05:13] wagnerrp: i thought that looked like sam rockwell
[04:06:48] sphery: wow, trailer for C&A looks great
[04:07:05] wagnerrp: it looks like good old mindless fun
[04:10:24] sphery: yeah
[04:11:35] wagnerrp: well it will be interesting to see how quickly ipv6 uptake starts happening in asia/japan/australia
[04:13:32] sphery: why there?
[04:13:39] wagnerrp: theyre out
[04:13:47] sphery: ohhh
[04:13:55] wagnerrp: theyve hit their last /8
[04:13:58] sphery: and no new IPv4 blocks to give to them?
[04:14:12] wagnerrp: which under their last block policy, each ISP is allowed 1024 addresses of that
[04:15:06] wagnerrp: europe is expected to run out around the end of the year
[04:15:27] wagnerrp: weve still got several years worth
[04:15:40] wagnerrp: after that... its all NAT
[04:17:05] sphery: wonder if google is going to put out a public dns server on ipv6 anytime
[04:20:15] GreyFoxx: probably around ipv6 day
[04:20:21] GreyFoxx: or so the rumour goes

[04:21:12] wagnerrp: oh... i see how mythmessage works now
[04:22:03] wagnerrp: GreyFoxx: think anyone would have a problem if i changed it to standard QString replacement syntax?
[04:22:17] wagnerrp: use %1, %2, %3... in the template
[04:22:29] wagnerrp: matching each of the args on the command line
[04:22:46] GreyFoxx: Honestly I don't know how many people even use it
[04:22:54] GreyFoxx: It's rare anyone mentions it
[04:23:13] wagnerrp: considering its new to 0.25, im sure youre right
[04:23:27] GreyFoxx: yeah but mythtvosd did
[04:23:40] GreyFoxx: and it did the same thing with similar commandline args :)
[04:26:29] wagnerrp: or, i could make unregistered options go into another qvariantmap
[04:26:49] wagnerrp: yeah, i think ill do that
[04:36:19] sphery: and it's never existed in a released version
[04:36:26] sphery: (since it's replacing the mythtvosd binary)
[04:36:38] sphery: ah, but you guys said that :)

[04:45:24] wagnerrp: yeah, but you wouldnt want to script something into asterisk to call the necessary webpage on an incoming call
[04:45:45] wagnerrp: at that point, it would be easier to just use 'nc'
[04:45:56] wagnerrp: (assuming netcat can do udp)
[04:46:31] iamlindoro: nah

[15:56:11] sphery: wagnerrp: And, in truth, in the start script my init script calls (which is the same one I use for my master and remote backends), I have a MySQL server ping (mysqladmin ping) that will sleep for 1s, then 2s, then 3s, ... to 60s, then continue sleeping for 60s before allowing startup (and, the same for a remote backend "pinging" the master backend by using the bindings to connect to the MBE). Makes a lot more sense to put that kind of ...
[15:56:17] sphery: ... stuff in the script that starts MythTV rather than in MythTV.
[15:57:04] wagnerrp: i have nothing
[15:57:08] wagnerrp: but then i do netboot
[15:57:22] wagnerrp: so if the master is down, then so are all the other machines, obviously

[15:58:00] gregL (gregL!~greg@cpe-74-76-125-87.nycap.res.rr.com) has joined #mythtv-users
[16:00:08] sphery: in truth, if you use a hostname for the DB server that's not localhost, 127.0.0.1, or the local host name used by your backend, the ping would be used to delay startup by default
[16:00:28] sphery: but that would allow startup if the host is there--even if the DB isn't
[16:00:50] sphery: so the DB WOL is the best approach for what he needs
[16:01:03] sphery: as a matter of fact, pretty sure I wrote all this up on -users once
[16:01:10] sphery: and, IIRC, because of upstart
[16:02:04] sphery: http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/mythtv/users/370119#370119
[16:02:19] sphery: actually, was because of *buntu's other great blunder--NetworkManager
[16:02:50] wagnerrp: theres nothing wrong with networkmanager when used as intended
[16:03:04] wagnerrp: and thats for laptops and other mobile systems that NEED a gui interface to networking
[16:03:12] sphery: right
[16:03:37] sphery: but not really appropriate for a server-type system where the network may not be started before the server apps

[16:03:48] wagnerrp: and even then, the GUI pretty easily lets you tell the system it can connect immediately, and doesnt need to wait for the DM to set up, or the user to log in
[16:04:07] sphery: but *buntu really likes the idea of "one size fits all--or we'll hammer it in until it fits"
[16:04:08] wagnerrp: at which point the network is available as soon as the networkmanager daemon starts up
[16:04:16] sphery: they want "Unity" of software
[16:04:34] wagnerrp: which if the init sequence were done properly, would be one of the first things to go
[16:05:04] wagnerrp: meaning the /entire/ problem with networkmanager is just a misconfiguration on someone's part
[16:05:12] sphery: but when they started using it, that capability didn't exist, did it?
[16:05:17] sphery: or did they just do their init wrong?
[16:05:31] wagnerrp: they just did their init wrong
[16:05:31] sphery: because I know that people had to remove it or rewrite stuff to make it work

[16:06:39] wagnerrp: and thats it
[16:07:06] sphery: yeah, but this is a whole other version of NM than the oen from Feb 2009
[16:07:07] wagnerrp: oh, and 'available to all users'
[16:07:27] sphery: anyway, something was very broken back then
[16:07:30] wagnerrp: is it? ive been using NM on my laptop for a couple years, and its been there as long as i can remember
[16:07:42] sphery: then it must be their init scripts
[16:07:49] sphery: or their config was broken
[16:08:02] sphery: but it definitely didn't work unless the user fixed things
[16:13:09] sphery: So, the remote backend has also been getting MCEs... Maybe it's time to replace it (which would also allow me to get a nice SATA-supporting mobo)
[16:13:31] sphery: I really ought to install mcelog so I can figure out what mces are logged
[16:14:39] wagnerrp: your machine might take exception to that invasive logging
[16:16:44] sphery: heh
[16:27:14] justinh: Scopeuk-AFK: you can't do a simple dvb-t scan & find any channels? sounds like your tuner driver doesn't like AUTO parameters – and maybe the tuning timeouts & delays are too short
[16:28:23] justinh: actually I had a problem with one of my crappy USB tuners doing a full scan. it didn't like offsets & I never managed to figure out why
[16:28:50] justinh: no amount of timeout changing could fix it either

[18:22:42] cleith: Hello
[18:23:05] cleith: When you press "w" to get metadata for videos, is it a script that runs?
[18:26:10] Scopeuk-AFK is now known as Scopeuk
[18:27:11] wagnerrp: yes
[18:28:49] wagnerrp: cleith: ^^^
[18:37:29] cleith: do you know the name of the script or location?
[18:38:14] cleith: I think I need to override some stuff
[18:38:28] cleith: Is this info still valid? http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/FillMythMetadata.pl
[18:38:59] cleith: In particular, is there a Createnfos.py script?
[18:39:20] sphery: highly doubtful that script works properly
[18:39:39] wagnerrp: fillmythmetadata.pl is not usable as a metadata grabber script
[18:39:56] wagnerrp: it was designed as a standalone, external grabber
[18:40:08] wagnerrp: and chances are it has not been properly updated to fit newer schemas
[18:40:15] cleith: OK. Is there a way to override some settings?
[18:40:21] sphery: http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/MythVideo + http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/MythVideo#Metadata_Lookup + http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/MythVideo_File_Parsing
[18:40:36] wagnerrp: the grabbers are located in $PREFIX/share/mythtv/metadata/
[18:40:50] sphery: + http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/MythVideo_Grabber_Script_Format
[18:41:17] sphery: and most importantly http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/MythVideo#Metadata . . . ubleshooting
[18:41:38] wagnerrp: what settings are you wanting to override?
[18:41:42] cleith: Awesome, thanks. Looks like I have some reading to do
[18:41:51] wagnerrp: its entirely possible what you are wanting to override is not something handled by the script
[18:42:00] wagnerrp: but rather is performed internally in c++
[18:42:00] sphery: you can probably save yourself a /lot/ of time by explaining exactly what's happening
[18:42:20] wagnerrp: the grabbers just return matches to a search
[18:42:27] wagnerrp: the internal code decides what to do with it from there
[18:42:42] sphery: wagnerrp: do you know for sure FillMythMetadata.pl isn't valid? If so, perhaps we need a works with icon on it
[18:42:46] sphery: (with an old version?)
[18:42:59] wagnerrp: sphery: according to the page, it will only work with 0.23
[18:43:08] wagnerrp: (mentioned in the first couple lines)
[18:43:09] sphery: it says it supports 0.23 only, but I'd be surprised if it even does that properly
[18:43:25] sphery: I'd guess it's more like the MythWeb "support" for 0.23's MV
[18:43:41] cleith: I have a couple of dvds that don't match correctly, but I have found IMDb IDs that look like good fits, so I was hoping to override them somehow
[18:43:48] sphery: i.e. doesn't put proper data in place and breaks the requirements
[18:44:31] wagnerrp: so hit 'i', and select the option to manually specify the movie id
[18:44:41] wagnerrp: you should be using the TMDB ID, rather than IMDB
[18:44:45] wagnerrp: but either should work
[18:44:46] cleith: I even see in the GUI where I can override a "unique video ID" but didn't seem to help putting the IMDb values in
[18:44:49] sphery: but note that we don't use the "We steal your data" IMDb, we instead use themoviedb.org
[18:45:05] sphery: use tmdb id
[18:45:12] sphery: if there is no entry on tmdb, create one
[18:45:20] sphery: and put (original, not copied) description, etc.
[18:45:34] sphery: http://www.themoviedb.org/
[18:45:35] wagnerrp: if the entry on tmdb does not have the matching imdb id, then using an imdb id in mythvideo will not work
[18:46:25] sphery: and fear not, themoviedb.org doesn't steal your input, like IMDb does
[18:47:38] cleith: OK, I am all for free (non-stolen) stuff. What about the artwork though if I try to add an entry?
[18:48:40] wagnerrp: themoviedb assumes any artwork you upload is user generated content, and that you have the copyright to it and are allowing them to disseminate it
[18:49:38] n0tk (n0tk!~n0tk@mail.stpaulinternet.net) has quit (Quit: Bye)
[18:49:41] cleith: hmmm... somehow I doubt the artwork I see on that site is all user generated, but I get the drift
[18:50:10] wagnerrp: yeah, and if anyone cares, thats why takedown buttons are right there
[18:50:28] sphery: the important thing is to check the license associated with the artwork (especially movie posters) and do your best to adhere to the requirements of the license
[18:50:46] wagnerrp: aside from coverart, the better images on there are generally user generated
[18:50:55] wagnerrp: while crappy stuff tends to be a screen shot
[18:50:56] sphery: agreed
[18:51:12] sphery: or a camera picture of a DVD in its case
[18:51:23] sphery: (yes, there are those)
[18:51:30] sphery: not recommending the approach, though :)
[18:51:34] cleith: lol
[18:52:09] sphery: can't speak to the license for anyof these, but http://forums.themoviedb.org/topic/383/source . . . and-posters/ lists some sources
[18:52:23] cleith: awesome
[18:52:34] sphery: http://forums.themoviedb.org/ has a search and you can find many threads about artwork/covers/posters/...
[18:54:16] sphery: cleith: oh, and as a member of the community who enjoys having a source of high-quality movie info that's not restricted by IMDb's license and stealing of copyright on all submissions, thanks for making tmdb better by adding content to it
[18:55:05] cleith: Yeah, I'll probably give it a try, I'm just worried about the artwork
[18:55:11] cleith: about finding it that is
[18:55:19] cleith: I am no artist
[18:55:27] sphery: oh, and for TV (versus movies), please use http://thetvdb.com/
[18:55:57] sphery: I still have to try to convince tvdb to add some cast info
[18:56:00] wagnerrp: basically, the complaint about imdb is that the whole thing started out as user generated content
[18:56:25] wagnerrp: but a couple years ago, they took ownership of it all, closed up access in their TOS, and started actively blocking scrapers
[18:56:25] sphery: 99% of the reason I use these sites is to look up who cast members are ("Where have I seen that person, before?")
[18:56:53] cleith: what stops ppl from taking from imdb and adding to tmdb? I see the movie I want on imdb but not tmdb
[18:56:56] sphery: yeah, I'm not a fan of what they've done. TV.com did the same
[18:57:05] sphery: (when CNet took it over, IIRC)
[18:57:22] wagnerrp: cleith: technically, nothing
[18:57:25] sphery: now I laugh when I see incorrect information on tv.com :)
[18:57:35] wagnerrp: but if you copy verbatim, youre opening stuff up to copyright takedowns
[18:57:58] sphery: and could be putting the tmdb project in a bad position
[18:58:06] cleith: right
[18:58:13] sphery: since you have the show, just watch it, then write up your own description
[18:58:15] wagnerrp: if its something you wrote on IMDB, then you own it and can put it where ever you want
[18:58:21] wagnerrp: otherwise, yeah... use your own words
[18:58:35] sphery: as far as facts are concerned... cast members, dates, ..., you can generally just copy those from IMDb
[18:58:41] cleith: I can paraphrase
[18:58:51] sphery: be careful with paraphrasing, though
[18:59:02] sphery: i.e. changing a few words does not make it an original composition :)
[18:59:16] JEDIDIAH__: some of the plot descriptions from tv.com can be quite a hoot. especially when using 90s vulgar political rhetoric to describe a show from the 50s
[18:59:23] sphery: same goes with descriptions from TMS (Schedules Direct) or your XMLTV listings provider
[18:59:53] cleith: thanks for the help on metadata
[18:59:56] sphery: best bet is to actually watch the show and write your own description
[19:00:07] sphery: (also wonderful when the imdb description is wrong :)
[19:00:31] sphery: or, as in the case of a B sci-fi movie I watched, the title is wrong
[19:00:40] cleith: I'll try. It's Peter Rabbit. I'll probably see it so many times I'll want to purge it from myth
[19:01:18] wagnerrp: JEDIDIAH__: personally, i like the descriptions of the old silent film shorts on imdb
[19:01:37] wagnerrp: sort by year, and check out anything before 1910 or so
[19:02:11] sphery: http://www.themoviedb.org/movie/16123 ... The show is called "100 Million BC" and the plot centered around some scientists who went 70 million years back in time from the present.
[19:02:20] JEDIDIAH__: well, it was all experimental back then and it had not yet occured to anyone to censor anything.
[19:02:20] sphery: Was still worth the $1 from Redbox

[19:08:50] wagnerrp: why are they still making these things?
[19:09:14] cleith: sphery: ah, thanks
[19:09:37] wagnerrp: why does super mario brothers always get such bad ratings
[19:09:48] wagnerrp: sure it was an awful movie, but it was awful in a fun way
[19:10:26] sphery: yeah, they should really have a separate ratings scale for bad shows
[19:10:40] sphery: some are bad because they're bad, but others are bad enough to be good
[19:11:38] sphery: anyway, hoping they clean up the keywords once they allow translating them
[19:12:09] wagnerrp: considering the site even says to only use english keywords

[19:14:34] wagnerrp: the only difference between the GP drives and the standard ones are some different timeouts in the firmware
[19:14:45] wagnerrp: and about a 50% markup
[19:15:38] FabriceMG: it's just marketing
[19:16:13] FabriceMG: thx wagnerrp
[19:16:14] wagnerrp: no, its re-tuned firmware... and marketing
[19:16:38] wagnerrp: same thing with the black and RE drives
[19:16:45] wagnerrp: same hardware, optimized firmware
[19:16:57] FabriceMG: really gain with mythv?
[19:17:09] Scopeuk is now known as Scopeuk-AFK
[19:18:04] wagnerrp: the GPs? not really
[19:18:38] wagnerrp: they probably have some more aggressive caching strategy, and less aggressive power conservation than the greens
[19:19:41] wagnerrp: but unless youre trying to record 15MB/s+ to a single disk, you probably dont have to worry
[19:20:33] trumee: wagnerrp: mythtv-0.24 hasnt made it to portage yet :(
[19:20:34] wagnerrp: one disk per simultaneous recording is ideal, but probably 4–5 physical tuners per disk is a functional limit
[19:20:47] wagnerrp: trumee: that depends on whose portage youre using
[19:21:00] trumee: wagnerrp: i was using the main repo

[19:29:57] wagnerrp: maybe some of the context stuff, but thats it
[19:30:32] cleith: sphery: have you uploaded to tmdb?
[19:30:44] cleith: sphery: how could I correct a tagline?
[19:30:52] trumee: wagnerrp: this is the menu of 0.23, http://www.pastie.org/1801508
[19:31:01] wagnerrp: i dont believe you can delete taglines
[19:31:14] trumee: wagnerrp: i moved Watch TV to the top, but it is different to 0.24
[19:31:22] cleith: can I delete the whole entry and start over?
[19:31:31] wagnerrp: no
[19:31:38] wagnerrp: only admins can delete movies
[19:31:56] wagnerrp: i thought the default menu layout was changed before 0.23
[19:32:02] cleith: wagnerrp: OK
[19:33:19] cleith: what does myth use for coverart and background, not sure what that corresponds to on tmdb: poster? backdrop?
[19:33:40] justinh: fanart is used for backgrounds
[19:34:22] cleith: is that backdrop in tmdb speak?
[19:34:36] Scopeuk-AFK is now known as Scopeuk
[19:35:15] trumee: i know it is not officially supported but do i need to define any paths if i install myth to /opt/myth-0.24
[19:35:34] trumee: s/path/shell variables
[19:35:36] wagnerrp: trumee: yeah, Watch TV was moved to the bottom of the list end of june 2009
[19:35:39] wagnerrp: so before 0.22
[19:36:26] wagnerrp: so how you manage to have that in 0.23... you must have edited the menu theme manually
[19:36:35] cleith: justinh: if there is more than one piece of fanart (backdrop?) on tmdb, how does myth choose?
[19:36:45] trumee: wagnerrp: yes, i did move Watch TV to the top
[19:37:11] trumee: wagnerrp: there is no Media Library in 0.24 too
[19:37:25] wagnerrp: well, you know our opinions on live tv
[19:37:41] wagnerrp: yes there is, the top option in 0.24 (and 0.23, and 0.22) is Media Library
[19:37:53] justinh: cleith: in the past I think it just got the 1st one. maybe now it grabs the one with the highest rating
[19:38:10] justinh: or maybe it always did the latter & I was unlucky enough to end up with the sucky ones ;)
[19:38:18] cleith: ah, thanks
[19:38:38] trumee: i will probably remove "Browse Videos", "Video List", "Video Manager" too. "Video Gallery" is sufficient, and is similar to 0.23
[19:39:00] trumee: wagnerrp: hmm, i dont have a Media Library in 0.24 here!
[19:39:12] trumee: wagnerrp: and i built from source today
[19:39:19] wagnerrp: trumee: not sure how you would remove those, since those are only available through a hard-coded context menu
[19:39:54] trumee: wagnerrp: is it possible to move "Video Gallery" to the top?
[19:39:54] wagnerrp: and similarly, that behavior has not changed since 0.22
[19:39:58] justinh: loads of UK TV shows on thetvdb.com have awful fanart
[19:40:04] wagnerrp: if you change the c++ code, sure
[19:40:15] trumee: wagnerrp: not thru menu xml file?

[19:44:27] justinh: FabriceMG: they don't *know* what version of protocol they should speak, so the plugin *lies*

[19:45:16] wagnerrp: mythbox is little more than a menu interface
[19:45:27] justinh: still though, it's not part of the mythtv project – and if you have a problem with it, that isn't our concern here :)

[19:46:29] FabriceMG: but if 1 guys have one problem with the mythtv protocol, this channel is good place, no?
[19:46:45] justinh: FabriceMG: no, because the client you're using has nothing to do with this project
[19:47:16] justinh: last time I used that python thing on XBMC you had to edit a config file to tell it what protocol version to say it was using
[19:47:18] FabriceMG: YOU ARE NOT FAIRPLAY justinh
[19:47:18] wagnerrp: are you trying to program using the myth protocol?
[19:47:28] FabriceMG: yep
[19:47:31] wagnerrp: or are you looking for assistance with some 3rd party application that uses myth protocol?
[19:47:31] justinh: they added a setting, IIRC
[19:48:43] cleith: stupid question: how do I take a screenshot of playback (video)?
[19:48:56] wagnerrp: the print screen button
[19:49:15] cleith: Great, where does the file go?
[19:49:27] wagnerrp: somewhere in ~/.mythtv/ i believe
[19:49:36] cleith: awesome, thanks again
[19:49:47] wagnerrp: or, you can pull a screenshot over the http server
[19:51:28] wagnerrp: FabriceMG: if you are actually looking to write code that intefaces with the protocol, we can help you here, or in the dev channel
[19:51:58] wagnerrp: if you are looking to use someone else's code that interfaces with the protocol, and it is not working, then you need to inquire where ever they provide support
[19:52:04] trumee: are there any binaries of mythtv frontend for windows?
[19:52:20] justinh: heh. i.e. join the 5000-post long thread on a forum :D
[19:52:31] [R]: i think someone makes some crappy windows binaries somewhere
[19:52:31] wagnerrp: and for what its worth, mythbox is generally considered obsolete, and an integrated C replacement is in the works
[19:52:33] cleith: wagnerrp: hmmm... does that work for videos? I just got a black screen
[19:53:14] [R]: why is it... taht every time i hit 'i' from watch recordings screen the font is always WAYYYY too small?
[19:53:16] FabriceMG: well, now , (soon), 1 guys work in mythbox addon for xbmc, and I use mythtv protcol, just that at this time, beta version , more bug
[19:53:18] wagnerrp: cleith: it was broken previously, but i believe it was fixed prior to 0.24
[19:53:36] cleith: wagnerrp: OK, that the only way to get a screengrab?
[19:53:54] wagnerrp: i mean the http server capture was broken
[19:53:59] justinh: they speak English in WHAT?
[19:54:09] wagnerrp: the screenshot... not sure, always worked the handful of times ive tried

[19:57:59] FabriceMG: no , it's one other addon
[19:59:11] justinh: FabriceMG: so I gather from what you've said, that you're trying to use the XBMC mythbox plugin & it only speaks the trunk protocol version? when English isn't your first language you're going to have to try to make yourself more clear
[19:59:44] wagnerrp: justinh: actually, the release mythbox plugin only speaks 0.23 and previous
[20:00:09] justinh: heh

[20:01:24] justinh: be interesting to see if the pVR addons for XBMC present everything as ONEBIGLIST (tm) or whether it'll do group browsing etc

[23:14:56] sphery: wagnerrp: ah, now my commits aren't purple in my tickets folder
[23:15:12] sphery: (i.e. no indication that I'm the one committing/pushing them)  :(
[23:16:09] sphery: that said, the auto-milestone thing is awesome
[23:18:51] sphery: Guess I need to rewrite mythtv/mythtv-use_logpath_argument.patch
[23:19:08] sphery: (though it should be /much/ easier now that you've switched everything to use the new command line parser)
[23:21:07] wagnerrp: yeah, ive got everything moved over, just need to push it to my branch
[23:21:15] [R] ([R]!~rbox@unaffiliated/rbox) has joined #mythtv-users
[23:21:42] wagnerrp: you should be able to get the addLogFile method to programmatically assign a default value based off the command name
[23:22:37] wagnerrp: right now, its blank
[23:22:51] wagnerrp: but you could have it do /var/log/mythtv/<m_appname>.log
[23:23:10] sphery: yeah, I have some logic that will allow it to work with all the different use cases we'll need
[23:23:48] wagnerrp: so they could then use '--logfile' alone to have it log to the default
[23:23:54] sphery: I'll take a look at it later... Just thought it was funny that you did the hard part faster than I did the "quick change until the hard part is done"
[23:23:57] wagnerrp: or '--logfile some_path' to specify otherwise
[23:24:14] sphery: yeah, I'll work it in
[23:25:03] wagnerrp: well i mean you change the one line in mythcommandlineparser.cpp, and that default now takes effect in all programs that support a log file
[23:25:07] wagnerrp: same thing with pidfile
[23:25:20] sphery: right
[23:25:25] sphery: but there's more to my patch than just that
[23:25:38] wagnerrp: ah
[23:25:38] sphery: just give me a chance to catch up with stuff
[23:27:29] wagnerrp: well i was talking to danielk earlier, and he had a couple concerns
[23:27:48] wagnerrp: lack of preparse... but since the whole thing is parsed at once, which may very well be before QApplication, that shouldnt be an issue
[23:28:28] wagnerrp: the add() method makes it a bit too easy to have non-standard options
[23:28:45] wagnerrp: but hopefully the add<option_set>() methods will prevent that
[23:29:05] wagnerrp: and the use of qvariant causes a dynamic typing risk
[23:29:43] wagnerrp: now hopefully ive prevented that by all the to<type>() methods, since they will just return an empty value if the data cannot be converted
[23:29:55] wagnerrp: but thats one well have to be conscious of
[23:30:21] sphery: too easy to have non-standard options meaning that people might not realize the option they want was already defined elsewhere?
[23:31:00] wagnerrp: right now, i do testing with canConvert(), but that can be replaced with absolute type testing if needed
[23:31:14] wagnerrp: im not really sure what his concern with that one was
[23:31:28] wagnerrp: since the existing system is just as easy to do such
[23:31:34] sphery: well, I still think it's better than the before :)
[23:31:46] wagnerrp: especially considering the existing system has the parsing loop outside
[23:31:51] sphery: I'm sure there's room for improvement, but I've never seen software that lacked said room
