[00:01:10] ICM^: eh, i'll worry about it later
[00:01:14] wagnerrp: i would imagine so
[00:02:07] ICM^: whoa. this costs $?
[00:02:30] iamlindoro: ICM^: yes
[00:03:02] iamlindoro: $20/year, or literally pennies per day... and is sold at cost
[00:03:36] ICM^: fair enough, just wasn't expecting it
[00:04:41] ICM^: since i'll probably be changing locations (between here in Rochester NY, home in Philly, and wherever I co-op), when you pay for the service, you're not stuck to one location, correct?
[00:04:53] wagnerrp: you can have up to four lineups
[00:05:01] wagnerrp: you can delete old ones to make room for new ones
[00:05:04] ICM^: okay
[00:05:04] ICM^: :)
[00:05:18] wagnerrp: we used to have free guide data from zap2it
[00:05:27] wagnerrp: but it got abused by commercial applications
[00:05:44] wagnerrp: so the service was shut down, and schedules direct was set up to license the content
[00:05:49] ICM^: that's dicks
[00:06:09] ICM^: but oh well, $20/yr really isn't bad, considering I don't even pay the cable bill
[00:06:33] wagnerrp: dorm cable?
[00:06:42] Metoer (Metoer!metoer@77.68.145.221) has quit (Ping timeout: 276 seconds)
[00:06:45] ICM^: yep
[00:07:02] wagnerrp: so, you pay large amounts for cable... :)
[00:07:16] ICM^: well, perhaps :p
[00:07:27] ICM^: but other people get to pay for my large amounts of electricity usage
[00:07:56] wagnerrp: you would be surprised just how little electricity you use
[00:08:26] ICM^: I actually am in one of the on-campus apartments
[00:09:07] ICM^: I run a Linux server non-stop, my desktop non-stop, two monitors, a laser printer ... only one here for the summer so a fridge, washer/dryer to myself, AC.. my carbon footprint is a little high right now
[00:10:08] wagnerrp: a small fridge might consume $5 in power a month

[00:10:18] ICM^: it's a full-sized fridge
[00:10:24] ICM^: this apartment is meant for 4 people
[00:10:35] ICM^: i'm just here taking summer classes so my roommates are in whatever state. lol
[00:10:38] wagnerrp: washer and dryer only use power when your using it, so one versus four makes no difference
[00:10:46] ICM^: true
[00:10:48] wagnerrp: a large fridge and freezer might be double that
[00:10:55] russell5: im trying to get a 2250 working in gentoo with 2.6.39 and all i get is this message in dmesg [ 1.004901] saa7130/34: v4l2 driver version 0.2.16 loaded i copied the firmware to /lib/firmware and the support is built into the kernel (not as a module)
[00:10:59] wagnerrp: laser printers shut down after an idle period
[00:11:14] ICM^: Alright, got the SD lineup
[00:11:16] wagnerrp: LCD monitors dont consume much, and shut down down after an idle period
[00:11:37] ICM^: default channel frequency table? or should I use us-cable?
[00:11:58] wagnerrp: and even if youve got power hungry parts in that server and desktop, i doubt you would be running more than 300W combined between them
[00:12:51] wagnerrp: the AC would be the killer, but on campus apartments likely means recently built
[00:13:01] wagnerrp: which means high efficiency AC, with heavy insulation
[00:13:04] ICM^: these are, yep
[00:13:13] ICM^: definitely heavy insulation in these buildings
[00:13:17] ICM^: it's necessary
[00:13:21] ICM^: for the winters..

[00:16:22] ICM^: scanning channels
[00:16:29] ICM^: ... 'Failed to find any new channels!'
[00:17:03] wagnerrp: why are you scanning channels?
[00:17:32] ICM^: because I just realized I'm an idiot>
[00:17:35] ICM^: *? >_>
[00:17:36] iamlindoro: ICM^: Why are you still trying to scan channels?
[00:17:45] ICM^: as soon as I said that, I realized.
[00:18:02] ** ICM^ instead, fetches channels from listing source **
[00:18:12] wagnerrp: its the button to the right of that, 'fetch channels from listings source'
[00:18:18] wagnerrp: right
[00:18:28] iamlindoro: Hopefully you haven't shredded your video source with all the attempting to scan
[00:20:26] ICM^: We'll see
[00:20:43] ICM^: How resource intensive is the mythtv-frontend?
[00:21:11] techmik (techmik!~quassel@c-76-109-173-83.hsd1.fl.comcast.net) has joined #mythtv-users
[00:22:31] wagnerrp: depending on the resolution and theme, anywhere from a couple hundred MB to a GB
[00:22:34] iamlindoro: as intensive as the content you throw at it
[00:23:00] wagnerrp: the UI is pretty trivial to run, the hard part is decoding
[00:23:12] ICM^: I thought decoding was done by the back-end? or the hardware-encoder?
[00:23:25] dkeith (dkeith!~dkeith@173.48.207.227) has joined #mythtv-users
[00:23:25] iamlindoro: how would an encoder handle decode?
[00:23:46] ICM^: oh. derp. alright.
[00:23:59] ICM^: I misread there
[00:24:31] wagnerrp: you wont have any problem with the content you get out of a PVR-150
[00:24:47] wagnerrp: unless youre trying to run MythTV on a VIA box, or old Pentium II
[00:25:14] ICM^: I have an older laptop, just curious if, over the LAN, I'd be able to stream TV to it
[00:25:36] ICM^: AMD Turion64, 1.8 GHz, 512 MB of RAM
[00:25:55] wagnerrp: plenty for pvr-150 recordings
[00:26:20] wagnerrp: iffy for broadcast digital
[00:26:35] wagnerrp: out of the question for HD H264
[00:26:44] wagnerrp: (bluray or HDPVR output)
[00:29:45] ICM^: crap. any way to delete a directory on the 'DEfault Storage Group Directories'
[00:29:53] wagnerrp: 'd'

[00:38:05] ICM^: anything else?
[00:38:25] wagnerrp: should be it
[00:38:37] ** ICM^ loads up the MythTV front-end **
[00:38:38] wagnerrp: did mythfilldatabase seem to be doing anything?
[00:38:46] wagnerrp: it should have taken several minutes to run
[00:39:01] ICM^: it appeared to, looks like it was grabbing files
[00:40:02] ICM^: hm.

[00:41:05] wagnerrp: check your backend logs for an explanation why the recording failed

[00:44:10] ICM^: I think I do, actually. the mythtv backend runs under the user 'mythtv' yes?
[00:44:24] ICM^: er, hm. It's a permissions issue to say the least
[00:44:34] wagnerrp: depends on how you started mythbackend
[00:44:46] wagnerrp: but if you used init scripts, thats a good assumption
[00:45:00] iamlindoro: and/or who provides your packages and init script
[00:45:24] capleton: hey, how's everyone doing? I have a semi-noob question about something in the wiki, for autostarting... wow, I guess, what does the "gnome autostart" do? Like, what is the point of that script?
[00:45:36] techmik (techmik!~quassel@c-76-109-173-83.hsd1.fl.comcast.net) has quit (Remote host closed the connection)
[00:46:00] ICM^: yeah. I changed the folders to where it saves liveTV and recordings. they're owned and restricted to the user 'ian'. whoops.
[00:46:02] wagnerrp: capleton: that would be something to ask in #gnome
[00:46:26] wagnerrp: capleton: thats a line from our wiki? could you give some context?
[00:46:47] capleton: http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Frontend_Auto_Login#GDM_Auto_Login
[00:47:15] wagnerrp: so the actual script would be '.gnomerc'
[00:47:44] wagnerrp: that would be a script that is automatically run when gnome loads under your user account
[00:47:54] techmik (techmik!~quassel@c-76-109-173-83.hsd1.fl.comcast.net) has joined #mythtv-users
[00:47:57] wagnerrp: specifically, it waits 10 seconds, and then starts mythfrontend
[00:48:16] capleton: Oh I see; so it's for users who use gnome, but do not use gdm?
[00:48:46] wagnerrp: gdm just performs autologin
[00:48:57] wagnerrp: the .gnomerc tells gnome to run mythfrontend after being started
[00:49:08] wagnerrp: either by gdm, or by startx
[00:49:33] capleton: lol, ohh wow. I am a dumbass :facepalm: Okay, i get it now
[00:49:41] capleton: Thanks wagnerrp
[00:49:50] ** iamlindoro wonders why he's seeing Dunkin Donuts commercials on a local channel when there isn't a Dunkin donuts in hundreds of miles **

[00:52:26] iamlindoro: But that *is* a hell of a claim
[00:52:32] iamlindoro: maybe I should be happy we don't have those
[00:52:44] wagnerrp: capleton: autostarting mythfrontend from gnome seems like a bad thing to do
[00:52:56] ICM^: is there any proper way to stop the mythbackend ?
[00:53:25] wagnerrp: if you started it through the init scripts, you should stop it through those same init scripts
[00:53:26] iamlindoro: ICM^: You should be starting and stopping it using your distro's init system

[00:55:58] ICM^: lol.

[01:00:58] wagnerrp: your recording directory must be readable, writable, and executable by the user running mythbackend
[01:01:28] ICM^: exactly wagnerrp — but when I try to change the permissions, the permissions don't change -.-
[01:01:45] wagnerrp: russell5: the HVR-2250 is not a saa7130/34 device
[01:01:55] wagnerrp: thats all you see, because that driver is not finding anything to load
[01:02:28] russell5: yeah its saa7164 wrong driver iguess then
[01:03:12] wagnerrp: 'chown -R mythtv:mythtv /media/650GB/MythTV; chmod 755 /media/640GB/MythTV'
[01:03:48] iamlindoro: The above also assumes mythtv has the right to traverse to /media/640GB, too
[01:04:20] iamlindoro: meaning if you have correct permissions on the bottommost directory but can't traverse to it, you are still just as screwed
[01:07:08] iamlindoro: Grrr, how can I fix bugs when Comcast won't give me more than 30s of uptime at once

[04:39:46] [R]: it does it in the code... it does it with ioctl
[04:40:08] Gibby: so to change/disable that, i would have to change it, then re-compile i guess
[04:40:13] [R]: no
[04:40:17] [R]: why would you not want myth to set it

[05:02:07] wagnerrp: youve pulled your lineup from schedules direct?
[05:02:24] wagnerrp: these are direct analog, not capture off a cable box?
[05:02:30] wagnerrp: what kernel version are you using?

[05:02:56] DaiTengu: yeah, direct analog. 2.6.38
[05:03:13] wagnerrp: what distro? what version of mythtv?
[05:03:21] DaiTengu: mythbuntu .24.1
[05:03:35] wagnerrp: how recently have you updated mythtv?
[05:03:42] DaiTengu: fresh install
[05:03:52] DaiTengu: with all the updates applied
[05:04:00] wagnerrp: from the mythbuntu ppa?
[05:04:26] DaiTengu: yeah, along with the mythtv-updates repository.
[05:05:20] DaiTengu: There's still a few things i need to poke at, like trying to play a channel directly from vlc.
[05:05:39] wagnerrp: first, try 'cat /dev/video0 > some_file.mpg'
[05:07:00] Gibby: Can block an FE from using certain inputs?
[05:07:09] wagnerrp: no
[05:07:12] DaiTengu: hmm, just a blue screen from cat /dev/video0
[05:07:23] DaiTengu: that may help to explain my problem
[05:07:29] DaiTengu: digital works though
[05:07:54] Gibby: Can you set it to a certain input by default?
[05:07:55] wagnerrp: blue usually means no signal input the encoder
[05:08:22] wagnerrp: tuned to a channel with too low signal, or a disconnected baseband input
[05:08:47] DaiTengu: need to find a list of frequencies, hang on :p
[05:11:19] DaiTengu: I freaked out a bit when I found Google bought SageTV, so I'm trying alternatives :)
[05:11:35] DaiTengu: I had a SageTV setup for the last 6 years.
[05:12:45] DaiTengu: well that worked. I can see TV from the /cat/video1 output
[05:13:04] wagnerrp: well at least that means the card works
[05:13:24] wagnerrp: you have it configured as an IVTV MPEG encoder, correct? not a V4L input?
[05:13:43] Beirdo: ergh
[05:13:44] DaiTengu: let me double check, I know I initially did v4l
[05:13:53] DaiTengu: but changed it after hours on google :)
[05:14:12] Beirdo: how can I convince my graphics card to run X with nothing attached to it?

[13:15:21] spirit3: Yes, this used to happen almost daily – now nightly I check if the tuners are in use, if not I stop myth backend, reload modules, restart myth
[13:15:31] spirit3: I now see perhaps one issue a week with failed recordings
[13:15:48] spirit3: if they're in use it waits until they're idle – so it restarts nightly without fail

[13:22:38] hashbang: ?
[13:23:25] spirit3: This was some months ago – but I think so, yes – the module options etc
[13:23:33] hashbang: e.g. cat /sys/module/dvb_usb_dib0700/parameters/force_lna_activation

[13:27:28] hashbang: spirit3: maybe it's the 2K/8K bug that Malcolm Priestly mentions, and you'll just have to wait until 2012...
[13:28:20] spirit3: what am I looking for on the power control variables?
[13:28:26] spirit3: Most are set to auto, with a few set to 'on'
[13:29:12] lapion: It would appear like all v4l2 possibilities have been removed from myth-setup and mythtv-tuning..
[13:32:29] hashbang: spirit3: most should be on
[13:32:50] hashbang: spirit3: auto means the kernel will attempt to power down USB devices when it thinks they aren't being used

[15:14:27] iamlindoro: I am of two minds about that
[15:14:32] skd5aner: (or things already addressed in master)
[15:14:39] iamlindoro: On one hand obviously we need bug reports
[15:14:52] skd5aner: Well, when I say "as many" I'm not looking to set any records here :)
[15:14:56] iamlindoro: but on a personal level when I see someone open up a ton of tickets at once, I get totally disheartened
[15:15:06] iamlindoro: And don't want to work on anything
[15:15:09] iamlindoro: and I know I'm not alone
[15:15:17] skd5aner: just get the obvious ones I've run into since 0.24 is released that are impactful or noticiable
[15:15:44] sphery: what's an EPG?
[15:15:48] iamlindoro: Nick Morott did a similar thing a year or so ago, I refused to look at *any* of them until this month because it made me so frustrated
[15:15:51] skd5aner: I would say less than 5–10 total (including the 2–3 I already ahve open)
[15:16:00] iamlindoro: especially when they were all in a row, and he cross referenced a ton of them
[15:16:05] skd5aner: and not all simultaneously
[15:16:06] _abbenormal: electronic program guide epg
[15:16:13] iamlindoro: and some of them were totally feature requests
[15:16:19] iamlindoro: In fact, I just closed one of those yesterday
[15:16:23] sphery: (between my "find all new series" inactive rule and my existing schedules, I never use the EPG )
[15:16:41] sphery: just use "Upcoming Recordings" to find new series and make active rules for them
[15:17:23] skd5aner: well, you know I know the difference between a true bug and feature request, except in those instances where it's a gray area and one dev calls it a bug and another calls it a feature request... but generally – I'm talking about things that hang, segfault, refuse to play properly, or appear generally broken
[15:17:33] sphery: iamlindoro: FWIW, though, isn't there a plan to rewrite guidegrid to make it themable?
[15:17:41] iamlindoro: sphery: I'll believe it when I see it
[15:17:54] sphery: heh, plan doesn't mean that it's something that will get done :)
[15:18:20] sphery: after all, look at all my plans--though, really, I've gotten a couple of big ones done this year... the new command line parser, the new logger
[15:18:41] iamlindoro: Put another way, I don't expect that the Guide Grid is going to be rewritten in anything remotely resembling the near future, no
[15:18:43] skd5aner: I think my trac track record (heh) is pretty good, very little cruft or invalid items out there
[15:18:57] sphery: iamlindoro: but we /could/ modify it to allow 99 channels per screen!

[15:20:24] sphery: I just don't get why someone thinks that having 99 channels on a single screen makes sense (or even any number greater than the current 12)
[15:21:19] sphery: I assume his definition of "On larger TV's at higher resolutions" is much different from mine...
[15:22:01] iamlindoro: better mean higher resolutions *and* dimensions
[15:22:22] sphery: yeah, but even at 1920x1080 at 100", do you really want more than 12
[15:22:35] iamlindoro: I mean, doesn't everyone like to inspect their Guide on the wall like a late Monet?
[15:22:41] sphery: heh
[15:23:01] ** iamlindoro pulls over the rail ladder to check what's on channel 1 **
[15:23:14] sphery: Ticket #9901: When I try to read the EPG, my shadow blocks the row I'm reading
[15:23:43] sphery: (assuming a projector)
[15:24:55] skd5aner: I would say my only complaint from a design standpoint is that sometimes it's hard to see which line has the focus – the contrast for the highlighted row isn't always obvious
[15:25:05] skd5aner: (in the epg obviously)
[15:25:22] skd5aner: but, it's not that bad
[15:25:25] iamlindoro: That's not design, that's theming
[15:25:44] sphery: yeah
[15:25:48] skd5aner: ah – I rarely change themes, so I sometimes don't realize what's by design and what's unique to the theme
[15:25:52] iamlindoro: The color, highlight, outline, etc. are themed
[15:26:10] sphery: though I'll admit that it seems the category color thing would make it hard to theme such that it's always visible
[15:26:21] iamlindoro: It's design, it's just not the type of design I thought you were referring to ;)
[15:26:46] iamlindoro: sphery: That's why I turn off category colors in my themes
[15:27:30] iamlindoro: hmm, seems we lost the ability to do that
[15:27:58] sphery: yeah, it was removed
[15:30:08] iamlindoro: Clearly it needs to be a setting

[18:02:11] sphery: none that I've ever found
[18:02:23] Gibby: ugh
[18:02:24] sphery: did your dish dual-tuner turn out to not use IR on the 2nd tuner?
[18:02:39] Gibby: yep
[18:02:48] Gibby: even tho i have saved statements from 3 tech's saying it does
[18:02:49] wagnerrp: Gibby: the issue is more that there are no standard RF communications protocols
[18:02:52] Gibby: and the manual
[18:02:55] sphery: wow--even though both the customer service guy and manual said it does
[18:03:07] wagnerrp: all RF devices tend to use their own custom sequencing
[18:03:23] sphery: Gibby: sounds like you need to get them to replace the STB with 2x (or two 2x) single-tuner ones

[18:03:39] Gibby: so now since you get your first receiver to free and each additiontal is $7 for a single or $14 for a duo, it will cost me $7 more a month for 4 STB's
[18:03:49] sphery: unless you want to reverse engineer their proto and create your own blaster
[18:03:52] Gibby: yep and they have to put up a different dish
[18:04:02] sphery: or create a robotic arm to press buttons on their remote :)
[18:04:12] Gibby: i don't have that much time, i am still having issues with the hdpvr
[18:04:40] sphery: Gibby: you should be able to argue for them to waive that additional fee since their hardware didn't work as described--and it's the reason you switched to dish
[18:05:08] Gibby: yeah haven't tried it yet, just got into work, going to call them later, just wanted to double check on the rf blaster thing first
[18:05:15] Gibby: it just erks me
[18:05:29] sphery: yeah, understandably
[18:05:31] sphery: I'd be upset, too

[18:08:01] jams: do I need to update?
[18:08:02] wagnerrp: you get that when you try to run data_mythtv.py against 0.23
[18:08:44] jams: bah your right. that gentoo box is .23
[18:08:45] Gibby: thinking about instead of 2 sd and 2 hd, just getting 3 hd..... and adding another hdpvr, i have just had so many jittering issues with it so far
[18:08:45] sphery: wagnerrp: heh, yeah--but the robotic arm would look cooler!

[18:08:58] Gibby: think i might have a bad gigaswitch... replacement should be in the morning
[18:09:50] jams: wagnerrp- does gentoo have a package or overlay (?) for master
[18:10:08] wagnerrp: https://github.com/MythTV/packaging/tree/master/Gentoo
[18:10:24] Gibby: theoretically shouldn't a gigabit network support around 75 hdpvrs at max bitrate?
[18:10:57] jams: thx
[18:11:04] wagnerrp: HDPVRs do not use the network
[18:11:07] wagnerrp: theyre USB
[18:12:19] Gibby: correct, but to get to the fe it is network
[18:12:22] wagnerrp: because of packet and protocol overheads, along with limitations of hardware, drivers, and network stacks
[18:12:29] wagnerrp: youre probably looking closer to 55–60
[18:12:39] sphery: Gibby: You might want to ask on the -users list if anyone else has a dish duo and what they're doing with it
[18:12:58] sphery: would get more eyes--and maybe someone has seen a way to make the 2nd tuner work
[18:13:03] Gibby: wagnerrp, correct, i was not taking into account overhead
[18:13:24] Gibby: yeah, i will sign-up for the list again and ask, i see it was asked on the mailing list back in 06 it looks like
[18:14:16] Gibby: wagnerrp, i guess the limitation would be the usb speed on the BE then, since it is less than the network, but i should have no issues with 3 or 4 hdpvr's i think
[18:14:21] Gibby: but i have an issue with just 1 :(

[23:04:05] sphery: why don't dates work in trac, now
[23:04:17] sphery: like I can't see any more detail to "10 months ago" by hovering or clicking
[23:04:20] sphery: that sucks
[23:04:23] sphery: stupid Trac
[23:04:31] wagnerrp: works here
[23:04:41] sphery: what do you do? just hover?
[23:04:49] wagnerrp: august 17 and 18
[23:04:50] sphery: are you logged in or not?
[23:04:59] wagnerrp: logged in, yes
[23:05:21] wagnerrp: you have to hover, clicking does nothing
[23:05:24] sphery: yeah, on Aug 17: 20100817 15:54:31< Captain_Murdoch> I don't know of any reasons that we couldn't substitute 'autoexpire' for 'preserve' in the maxepisodes query and rip out all the other preserve stuff. I've always held that maxepisodes was different than autoexpire, but it's not a huge deal as long as the episode can re-record. I never use the 'record new delete old' and never have things auto-expire for space reasons either.
[23:05:31] sphery: what are you hovering over?
[23:05:38] sphery: the time itself isn't even showing a link
[23:05:45] sphery: ah, now it works
[23:05:48] wagnerrp: changed 10 months ago
[23:05:52] sphery: I was used to it showing a link
[23:06:15] sphery: but it's this newfangled, "Links are for lusers, let's just rewrite the browser in JavaScript" Web 2.0 stuff...
[23:06:37] sphery: after all, why give the user an indication that more info is available... It's much better as a hidden Easter egg
[23:06:53] wagnerrp: so, not low fruit, but a behavioral change with people on both sides
[23:07:01] ** wagnerrp moves onto the next **
[23:07:11] sphery: they used to be clickable and take you to the changes for that day--I'm guessing we lost that because Trac no longer knows about commits
[23:07:23] sphery: (which is why we can't search commit messages in Trac, anymore)
[23:07:30] zombor (zombor!~zombor_@kohana/developer/zombor) has joined #mythtv-users
[23:07:55] sphery: wagnerrp: yeah, looks like CM gave permission to stuartm to change it to work the way stuartm wants, even thoughit's separate
[23:08:32] sphery: it will make it more understandable for people who don't take the time to learn how the different rules work
[23:09:37] Beirdo: wagnerrp: I think 16 will do :)
[23:09:38] Beirdo: heh
[23:10:11] wagnerrp: Beirdo: you never know when you might want to set up a shared memory system with more slots than that
[23:11:17] sphery: but it will mean that we'll have to flip autoexpire bits automatically if the user sets record new/delete old or they'll wonder why it's not recording new
[23:12:07] wagnerrp: i want to close 9014 with a 'this is why you dont run apache as root'
[23:12:37] wagnerrp: s/apache/lighttpd/
[23:12:49] sphery: why isn't trac responding forme
[23:12:55] sphery: ah, there... just very slow
[23:12:58] wagnerrp: it hates you
[23:13:25] Beirdo: wagnerrp: if I had such a machine, I'd be having a lot of fun with it... and the electricity bill
[23:14:07] wagnerrp: Beirdo: no you wouldnt, the neighbor would, until they found the 3/4" extension cord
[23:14:25] Beirdo: hehe, yah
[23:14:43] kormoc (kormoc!~kormoc@mythtv/developer/kormoc) has quit (Ping timeout: 240 seconds)
[23:14:46] sphery: Tianhe-1A is only 4.28MW for 5120 AMD GPUs
[23:14:46] Beirdo: or the glowing self-contained nuclear reactor on their balcony
[23:14:46] wagnerrp: sphery: you were planning on reworking on the whole mysql.txt/config.xml/upnp thing, right?
[23:15:03] Beirdo: eww. AMD...
[23:15:06] sphery: oops, 4.04
[23:15:29] sphery: wagnerrp: yeah... in ref to which ticket?
[23:15:41] wagnerrp: 7799
[23:15:43] sphery: just making sure it's not going beyond where I intend to go :)
[23:15:59] sphery: ah, yeah, I have that one in my "stealth" list
[23:16:21] Beirdo: yay, I see paul took a stab at the MHEG stuff that's apparently borked
[23:16:32] sphery: if you want to assign it to me, that's fine
[23:16:42] Beirdo: thank you. I have no way of testing it in any significant fashion
[23:17:14] wagnerrp: 8094 too
[23:17:28] Beirdo: and the horse it rode in in.
[23:17:30] Beirdo: on.
[23:17:33] sphery: yeah, that will be included in my changes
[23:17:35] Beirdo: stupid fingers
[23:17:48] wagnerrp: although that one might need a new python patch
[23:17:55] sphery: where included means "will do the right thing"--don't know about that patch, as I haven't looked at it
[23:18:28] wagnerrp: basically, if it cant find anything on UPNP, it tries to hit the backend web server on localhost instead
[23:18:41] wagnerrp: for users running their backend on 127.0.0.1
[23:19:02] sphery: in my plan, it will first use config files (config.xml, then mysql.txt), then upnp
[23:19:14] sphery: can easily add in http as a final fallback
[23:19:22] wagnerrp: right, thats the idea
[23:19:28] wagnerrp: just a final fallback
[23:20:02] sphery: oh, and using a config file means using /all/ of it (if it contains db info, we won't search for a backend using UPnP, which overwrites the info we just found in the config file), then ask it for db info
[23:20:08] sphery: we'll actually use the info we find
[23:20:23] sphery: my end paren was a few words too early
[23:20:25] wagnerrp: thats the way the python bindings are set up
[23:20:44] wagnerrp: it takes the first instance it finds with sufficient information to login
[23:20:46] wagnerrp: and if that fails, it fails
[23:20:47] sphery: yeah, and perl actually uses the info, too
[23:20:52] sphery: only mythtv code doesn't
[23:21:23] wagnerrp: Beirdo: 8801, the upnp mythvideo stuff
[23:21:29] Beirdo: yeah
[23:21:30] wagnerrp: right now, everything is just a big flat direeectory?
[23:21:37] Beirdo: it's done except for that
[23:21:39] Beirdo: yes
[23:21:44] wagnerrp: eew
[23:21:53] wagnerrp: has it always been like that?
[23:21:53] Beirdo: the directory structure isn't shown somehow
[23:22:05] Beirdo: no, we had two scanners before
[23:22:05] wagnerrp: i know it used to show up like that on my PS3
[23:22:12] wagnerrp: but i always assumed it was a limitation of the PS3
[23:22:16] Beirdo: hmm
[23:22:31] wagnerrp: no, i mean that it was a flat directory
[23:22:37] Beirdo: I'm pretty sure we had a directory structure when I'd tested it before
[23:22:37] wagnerrp: nothing to do with which database table its using
[23:23:14] Beirdo: it has something to do with how we populate data pulled from the db though ... into the structures used for UPnP
[23:23:18] Beirdo: so...
[23:23:45] Beirdo: we can call that closed if we want, but then open another task to have the directory structure come out via UPnP?
[23:23:52] sphery: isn't 8801 from before the upnp conversion to use videometadata?
[23:24:03] wagnerrp: nah, just trading one open ticket for another
[23:24:05] wagnerrp: no benefit
[23:24:05] Beirdo: originally yes
[23:24:34] sphery: so in theory if the problem existed before the change to use videometadata, that's unrelated to the problem, right?
[23:24:52] Beirdo: I'm not sure anymore
[23:26:00] sphery: heh, "This has been committed as a4ba70865147 in master." but https://github.com/MythTV/mythtv/commit/a4ba7 . . . 93b2b3be001/ disagrees, "Make the socketthread quit before waiting
[23:26:17] sphery: wonder if that's one of the commits that got renumbered in the merge debacle
[23:26:30] Beirdo: nah
[23:26:37] Beirdo: more likely a cut/paste
[23:26:38] sphery: (merge debacle that happened when a private repo was merged into trunk)
[23:27:03] Beirdo: as that did point at a real commit, but seemingly the wrong one
[23:27:24] sphery: guess that makes sense
[23:27:45] Beirdo: that was likely me pasting the wrong thing :)
[23:28:27] Beirdo: what were you looking for?
[23:29:18] lapion: I just found a really painfull but unrelated mistake I made, I set the local backend to 10.10.10.12 (local-lan address) and the master backend to 127.0.0.1
[23:30:06] wagnerrp: you sure the address isnt 10.10.3.21?
[23:30:15] lapion: and so the localserver was looping... and exiting without noticeable reason..... after some research and googling I found out my mistake both have to be the same address
[23:30:57] lapion: be it localhost or the local lan address

[23:41:43] MaverickTech: good morning peoples
[23:41:51] MaverickTech: I have a question about some hangs in my myth frontend
[23:41:57] MaverickTech: what's the polite path – ask here, or post to mythtv-users@... ?
[23:42:16] ** wagnerrp suggest MaverickTech lay off the ganja **
[23:42:43] wagnerrp: good morning? madness... madness i say
[23:43:17] MaverickTech: sun in the east is about the only clue – otherwise my sleep is all screwed up ;)
[23:43:45] wagnerrp: anyway, shoot
[23:43:52] kormoc: wagnerrp, looks like it's 9:45 am where he is
[23:44:06] MaverickTech: --- Received a CTCP TIME from kormoc ;)
[23:44:16] kormoc: MaverickTech, handy thing that is
[23:44:19] wagnerrp: that just means his clock is broken
[23:44:25] kormoc: heh, fair 'nuff
[23:44:55] MaverickTech: I am a programmer, so timezones are only a suggestion, they're not to be followed
[23:45:00] MaverickTech: anyways...
[23:45:30] MaverickTech: when scrolling through 'recordings', i.e. with the down button jammed down in the remote, the frontend has a habit of locking up
[23:45:34] MaverickTech: crap – phone
[23:45:34] MaverickTech: btrb
[23:46:00] wagnerrp: must be on the ganja... he just crapped on his phone
[23:48:05] iamlindoro: don't be silly
[23:48:06] iamlindoro: he crapped it *out*
[23:48:07] kormoc: or he removed his phone from the brap
[23:48:50] wagnerrp: is a brap when you burp so hard, crap comes out of your mouth?
[23:49:08] iamlindoro: no, you're talking about a shurp
