[01:13:10] wagnerrp: iamlindoro: are you intending to tie artwork into the program deleter like thumbnails are?
[01:13:28] wagnerrp: or do you just intend to let them sit there, or run a housekeeper to eventually clean them up?

[01:25:53] iamlindoro: wagnerrp: I don't intend to do any cleanup at the moment, since there's a lot of cross pollination with videos and whatnot-- I keep seeing opportunities for users to get PO'd if we touch that stuff
[01:26:54] sphery: but will be relatively easy to do so after the new schema, if sphery would get his stuff done...
[01:27:41] wagnerrp: ok, i was just going through the existing delete thread to write up the analog for the library i wrote
[01:27:51] wagnerrp: was just wondering if you intended to put anything in there for that

[01:35:34] sailerboy (sailerboy!sailerboy@ipv61.sailerboy.net) has quit (Ping timeout: 264 seconds)
[01:35:48] iamlindoro: as of right now, no plans to-- but I could be convinced if there was a well-working patch
[01:35:49] wagnerrp: i wouldnt doubt that
[01:36:12] iamlindoro: and yeah, the new schema would help since they'll all live in the same place
[01:36:29] wagnerrp: i would rather see such a thing implemented as part of the existing recording cleanup in the housekeeper
[01:36:52] wagnerrp: rather than having to check that there are no other users of each bit of content on each deletion
[01:38:35] wagnerrp: were only talking hundreds of MB maximum even with the largest of collections
[01:39:01] wagnerrp: so its not like its something that cant wait until 0.26 and the new schema
[01:39:33] Meliorator (Meliorator!m@dunnington.eu) has quit (Ping timeout: 276 seconds)
[01:39:53] sphery: yeah, with the recordedfile schema, we'll have an entry for each image, and can easily delete the image with the recording/video if there are no other users of that image
[01:40:13] sphery: I think iamlindoro's approach is perfect for the interim :)
[01:40:54] zombor (zombor!~zombor_@kohana/developer/zombor) has joined #mythtv-users
[01:41:22] wagnerrp: well we have an entry for every image now
[01:41:28] iamlindoro: Well at least someone approves of my approach to something these days :)
[01:41:30] wagnerrp: which is more than can be said for thumbnails
[01:42:00] wagnerrp: which are a 'search the filesystem for something that looks right' approach
[01:42:05] sphery: where are the entries for images now?
[01:42:13] iamlindoro: sphery: recordedartwork
[01:42:21] sphery: ahh
[01:42:29] sphery: so that's one that gets moved?
[01:42:38] iamlindoro: moved?
[01:42:39] sphery: I think I half remember you mentioning it
[01:42:49] wagnerrp: yeah, it will have to be migrated over to the new schema
[01:42:52] sphery: moved to mediafile
[01:43:04] iamlindoro: well, less moved as much as interpreted, but sure
[01:45:17] Meliorator (Meliorator!m@dunnington.eu) has joined #mythtv-users
[01:46:44] sphery: just saying that all the info in it will be in metadatacommon + mediafile entries, so we probably wouldn't need recordedartwork after the switch, right?
[01:48:01] iamlindoro: in theory-- right now it's keyed off of inetref, so there's a many-rec-or-rule to one row relationship
[01:48:34] iamlindoro: will need to figure out how to do that properly in the new schema-- as changing the artwork for a season of a show needs to propagate to the members of that season
[01:49:41] sphery: guess so
[01:49:43] iamlindoro: moreover, the existing code gets the latest artwork when none is available for a specific season
[01:49:49] iamlindoro: which is a nice feature
[01:50:03] iamlindoro: ie, you roll over to season 6 of chuck, and no artwork has been grabbed yet--- so you get season 5's art

[02:11:34] k-man: can you make buttons with gradients in the theme system?
[02:12:43] lwizardl: I was wondering if anyone knows of a web site that lists whats airing on various EPG datas for fta satellites. i can find places like lyngsat for the locations of the sat but not whats on each
[02:15:32] wagnerrp: schedules direct should
[02:17:20] lwizardl: yeah but for that wouldn't I have to have each satellite location by hand into the site

[02:24:17] k-man: I think gradient buttons and selectors could work well for long items
[02:24:43] k-man: so you don't have to have a massively wide button or selector to fit long items
[02:24:59] k-man: maybe some themes already do that
[02:24:59] ThisNewGuy: iamlindoro: would you consider adding an API to look up all episodes for a show or a season? My end goal would be to compare what I have recorded/watched vs. what exists (perhaps in mythweb)
[02:25:40] iamlindoro: ThisNewGuy: To be honest, I would find that of extremely limited utility, and each time we add something like that, we require that potential grabber script authors (and their metadata sources) comply with our niche demands
[02:25:52] iamlindoro: ThisNewGuy: I'm not trying to be discouraging, I just am not sure how it would have broad use
[02:26:34] ThisNewGuy: iamlindoro: k
[02:27:13] iamlindoro: wagnerrp: Actually, the 3x prime tuner fix was by me in June: https://github.com/MythTV/mythtv/commit/7c2c2 . . . bs/libmythtv
[02:27:28] iamlindoro: But it still indicates he isn't running current fixes
[02:27:44] wagnerrp: this june? or last june?
[02:27:58] iamlindoro: ThisNewGuy: Again, don't want to rain on your parade, I am extremely glad you are enthusiastic about it-- just don't want to compel script authors to support niche functionality
[02:28:01] iamlindoro: wagnerrp: this june
[02:28:06] iamlindoro: ~45 days ago
[02:29:00] wagnerrp: ThisNewGuy: at least for thetvdb, that information is returned by their API
[02:29:26] wagnerrp: but that is a weird behavior of their api that all queries return all episodes of the show in question
[02:29:38] wagnerrp: i wouldnt expect most other services to behave in that manner
[02:29:57] ** iamlindoro is still waiting for someone to run up with a RageTV grabber **
[02:30:08] iamlindoro: but then... I've been waiting ~2 years for that
[02:30:17] wagnerrp: heh
[02:31:07] iamlindoro: I am very surprised that people kept hacked together scripts for a number of French and German metadata sites limping along, but once the metadata classes actually got rewritten and became mature, nobody has stepped forward with more scripts
[02:31:45] iamlindoro: I've flirted with the idea of adding support for adult content, but I'd at least need to find someone to write a grabber script for it (and "grabber script" takes on a new meaning)
[02:31:55] shipit (shipit!~shipit@204-15-2-155-static.ipnetworksinc.net) has quit (Read error: Connection reset by peer)
[02:33:02] wagnerrp: and would require the availability of a 'ipdb' for which to write a grabber against
[02:33:17] iamlindoro: There are a couple (I think)
[02:33:29] wagnerrp: although i dont know what additional information you would need
[02:33:48] iamlindoro: Not much, just would need a way to keep the libraries distinct in some way
[02:34:04] wagnerrp: ah, so beefed up parental mode
[02:34:16] iamlindoro: as TV and movies are easy-- one has season/episode, the other doesn't... adult content is just like movies-- so needs a logical distinction to know which grabber to use

[06:50:47] justinh: I've run into a few things that made me wish for a theme testing tool lately
[06:51:12] justinh: I wouldn't theme mytharchive without one. I'm not even going *near* that plugin
[06:51:55] k-man: hehe
[06:52:16] k-man: it would be cool to have a tool like firebug in firefox for mythtv themes
[06:52:52] justinh: you ever tried theming mytharchive?
[06:52:54] k-man: is there a mechanism in the themes to space buttons and objects relative to other items?
[06:53:03] k-man: justinh, no, not even looked at it
[06:53:14] justinh: it's no laughing matter, believe me

[06:54:52] k-man: justinh, ok, thanks. i've been using TemplateToolkit to help with the spacing thing
[06:55:42] justinh: I find it easy enough to do it on the fly. All my main text & buttons are in areas 40px high :)
[06:56:07] Beirdo: I have been trying all night to get TS file through it
[06:56:11] Beirdo: no luck
[06:56:15] Beirdo: so far
[06:56:35] Beirdo: no wonder people were whining bout DVB captures if this is how it is
[06:57:03] justinh: k-man: first item say at 140px, so you know the next one is 190px (10px spacing) – then the next at 240px .. etc
[06:57:46] justinh: Beirdo: I generally don't have any trouble losslessly cutting DVB recordings but when I do, nothing can fix em apart from projectx
[06:58:10] justinh: never had one yet that iamlindoro's script couldn't fettle though
[06:58:38] justinh: the ones I've had bother with in the past were pretty shot – but they were before the script
[06:59:09] justinh: what was the name of that utility I used to use to turn TS into PS? Hmmm
[06:59:19] Beirdo: well, I'm trying to get the mpeg2fix nonsense behaving
[06:59:32] Beirdo: I ahve it seemingly working perfectly for my PS
[06:59:43] Beirdo: but far from it with OTA TS :)
[07:00:33] Beirdo: nothing a bit of persistance likely won't fix
[07:02:50] justinh: bah. I know it wasn't tmpgenc or whatever.. arghhh this is really bugging me now
[07:03:10] justinh: aha! PVAStrumento!
[07:03:10] Beirdo: likely replex or something like that?
[07:04:02] justinh: bah it's not GPL.. or even open. Just 'free'
[07:04:17] Beirdo: what is it with idiots honking horns to get someone to come out of an apartment building... at midnight?
[07:04:22] Beirdo: get a life!

[07:11:50] justinh: I can shove a bunch of DVB samples in my dropbox if you like
[07:11:54] Beirdo: nb_fields = 3 is a valid value?!@?!@?!
[07:12:03] k-man: also getting rid of the BOLD everywhere is good too imho
[07:12:06] Beirdo: stupid libmpeg2
[07:12:19] justinh: k-man: I think I've got everything down to about 4 different sizes/styles now
[07:12:25] k-man: justinh, nice
[07:12:27] Beirdo: justinh: sure, they may come in handy in a few days, no rush though
[07:12:55] justinh: 2 text colours & maybe 3 sizes. One for titles, then 2 main ones in black & in white – then a much smaller one
[07:13:26] justinh: coloured text really doesn't work for me, certainly not as a way to indicate the status of something
[07:13:34] Beirdo: nb_fields = 6, 4 also seem to be valid values.
[07:13:50] Beirdo: I will have to beat this thing with a hockey stick
[07:22:02] k-man: justinh, what do you prefer as a way of indicating status?
[07:22:16] Beirdo: frick
[07:22:31] Beirdo: it seems to be related to repeat_first_field
[07:23:09] justinh: k-man: images or background colours
[07:23:57] k-man: how do I turn off auto-expire?
[07:24:22] justinh: Menu > storage options.. disable autoexpire :)
[07:24:30] k-man: in be?
[07:24:55] justinh: do you mean just disable one recording from expiring to test an icon state?
[07:25:04] justinh: or do you mean globally disable it?
[07:25:13] k-man: no, I mean, on my test machine which has little hdd space, my recordings keep dissapearing
[07:25:22] k-man: I think its because they are auto expired or something
[07:25:32] justinh: yeah that'll be a backend setting
[07:25:40] k-man: in fact, thats just a guess – but why else would all my recordings just dissapear
[07:25:40] justinh: so mythtv-setup for you
[07:25:51] justinh: the log would show why

[12:45:00] justinh: hmm they're all in /home/mythtv/.mythtv/channels on my backend & yet my frontend can find em just fine – but then I've probably also got em in a share somehow

[12:45:45] justinh: oops
[12:45:45] k-man: well, they are not showing up on my remote fe, but they work on my combined fe/be
[12:47:20] justinh: nope they're not on the share as such. maybe I copied em over to the remote FE
[12:47:58] k-man: justinh, this is interesting – I see the TV Settings option on my mythtv setup here, which is running .24 fixes
[12:49:01] justinh: just check you've not got mixed versions there
[12:49:10] justinh: I ran into that recently. it's *very* annoying
[12:49:33] k-man: justinh, highly unlikely as I installed on a clean machine using git
[12:49:38] k-man: but I'll check
[12:50:29] k-man: so, are the channel icon locations stored per fe? or they have to be in the same place on all fes?
[12:50:56] justinh: dunno. I'd have to look in the code to find out
[12:52:30] wagnerrp: johnf1911: we have ATSC and QAM, i dont see how that is 'less proper' than DVB
[12:52:36] k-man: well, afaict by looking at the db, that is the case
[12:53:38] wagnerrp: especially considering were the first with a nationwide rollout
[12:54:03] jya: wagnerrp: ion2 can do HBR
[12:56:13] wagnerrp: ah, page does say it works
[12:57:05] wagnerrp: its the GT220 with varying reports
[12:58:14] johnf1911: wagnerrp: there's no or minimal unencrypted content
[12:58:23] johnf1911: none here in Canada
[12:58:37] johnf1911: ATSC is good though
[12:58:40] johnf1911: QAM, less so
[12:59:03] johnf1911: at least in theory DVB makes it easier to get cable/satellite content in perfect provider streams
[12:59:05] wagnerrp: depends entirely on your privider
[12:59:09] wagnerrp: provider
[12:59:26] wagnerrp: over here, providers can choose to put content in the clear
[12:59:37] johnf1911: they can choose to here, they just don't

[12:59:57] wagnerrp: they can choose to put content encrypted by copy freely, in which case you can use it with a HDHomeRun Prime or InfiniTV
[13:00:15] johnf1911: we don't have cable card either, sadly
[13:00:17] wagnerrp: over there, youve got stuff like Sky which offers no means of tuning
[13:01:02] wagnerrp: youve got other providers who dont offer CAMs and smart cards for DVB-C cards
[13:01:26] wagnerrp: you have more that are using CI+ which simply dont have any tuner card support
[13:01:52] wagnerrp: CI+ is a full DRM implementation, as opposed to CI which is standard conditional access
[13:02:01] wagnerrp: which puts them in the same boat as us
[13:02:11] k-man: with channel icons, is it possible to show only the icon, unless icon is missing, then show text, in the guide?
[13:04:33] johnf1911: wagnerrp: it's always easiest to imagine the grass being greener on the other side of the fence^Watlantic

[13:40:56] k-man: how do you make sure the OSD gets the right aspect ratio?
[13:41:23] sphery: in theory, if X is configured properly and you don't have any aspect ratio override set in MythTV, it will just work
[13:41:24] stuartm: ?
[13:41:25] k-man: I have a circular logo in the OSD and it comes out oval
[13:41:37] k-man: and the logs say OSD: Scaling factors: 0.9x0.96
[13:41:38] sphery: most people tend to break it with aspect ratio overrides they set
[13:41:39] stuartm: k-man: which video renderer?
[13:41:49] sphery: which tells MythTV to treat /all/ video as a specific resolution
[13:41:50] k-man: err... software
[13:41:57] sphery: oh, yeah, Xv, too
[13:42:03] k-man: on a mac
[13:42:47] sphery: if you have a 16:9 video on a 4:3 screen, OSD will get stretched in Xv; or a 4:3 video in a 16:9 screen, OSD will get squished
[13:42:49] stuartm: k-man: right, we can't maintain the correct aspect ratio with Xv (or other software rendering), it's a limitation of the method
[13:43:09] sphery: yeah, since it draws the OSD on the video, then lets the video card scale it
[13:43:15] stuartm: you need to use OpenGL, VDPAU etc to see the OSD at the correct resolution/aspect-ratio
[13:43:26] k-man: ok
[13:43:32] k-man: thanks
[13:44:17] k-man: this is weird. I set the gui size explicitly to 800x600
[13:44:19] stuartm: the resolution bothers me more than the aspect-ratio, seeing that beautiful 1920x1080 OSD squashed to 720x576 :(

[14:56:03] wagnerrp: stuartm, justinh: well thats the problem, the screen setup wizard should be drawn completely outside the existing UI context
[14:56:23] wagnerrp: although saying that, i have no idea how difficult that would be in the current code
[14:57:40] wagnerrp: justinh: a connector, manufactured by a company in missouri, for use in computers made by another company in new york.... is metric?
[14:58:12] stuartm: or people should just stop using old CRT screens which overscan and have no built-in correction mechanism
[14:59:00] stuartm: </devil's advocate>
[14:59:16] wagnerrp: nice thought, but most digital displays overscan too
[14:59:30] stuartm: wagnerrp: really? I've yet to see one that does
[14:59:51] stuartm: and wtf ....
[14:59:52] wagnerrp: computer monitors dont, televisions do
[15:00:04] wagnerrp: because manufacturers are retarded
[15:00:25] wagnerrp: not to mention the fact that almost no 720p displays are actually 720p
[15:00:35] wagnerrp: theyre really something like 1366x768
[15:00:48] wagnerrp: and if you feed them that resolution, they will overscan
[15:01:04] stuartm: wagnerrp: I'm referring to TVs, I've not seen a single overscanning HD TV before now, although it's not as though I hang out in electrical stores looking at all the models on offer
[15:01:29] wagnerrp: both HDTVs ive owned overscan
[15:01:31] stuartm: wagnerrp: right, mine is 1366x768, but it doesn't overscan
[15:01:44] wagnerrp: a 26" Samsung and a 42" Vizio
[15:04:10] sphery: many will overscan TV inputs and underscan computer inputs
[15:04:25] stuartm: 32" Sony here, and the 40" Samsung I used for two weeks on holiday didn't overscan either
[15:04:50] sphery: so it's hard to guess from observation what's going on "under the hood"
[15:05:18] stuartm: well I'll accept that there are sets out there that do over/underscan, I withhold the right to say that's f**ked up
[15:05:34] wagnerrp: oh, ill agree completely with that latter part
[15:05:57] sphery: but we can't let the user see the ugly edges the broadcaster leaves in place or they'll think their tv is broken!
[15:06:13] wagnerrp: why do broadcasters leave in ugly edges?
[15:06:14] stuartm: sphery: they don't leave those ugly edges here in the UK ...
[15:06:24] stuartm: that's an analogue thing
[15:06:40] wagnerrp: stuartm: when they broadcast 480i over digital, you often see those
[15:06:45] sphery: yep
[15:06:49] wagnerrp: because they dont bother to spend the time cleaning it up
[15:07:06] stuartm: wagnerrp: hmm, so maybe this is more of an ATSC thing
[15:07:25] wagnerrp: no, its a lazy f**king broadcast engineer thing
[15:09:00] stuartm: the way things are organised over there with all those hundreds/thousands of affiliates etc, it's probably harder to get broadcasters to sort out their act?

[16:31:10] wagnerrp: honestly, we dont scan analog over here
[16:31:22] wagnerrp: we just pull channels from our scheduling data provider
[16:32:16] new_tolinux: well, I only have analog..... and I know it's working, since tvtime does it, and it was working before in 9.04.... although, new pc and it doesn't work anymore seems
[16:32:31] new_tolinux: I just don't know anymore what I did in 9.04
[16:32:37] wagnerrp: are you running the stock unstable myth that comes with 10.04?
[16:32:46] wagnerrp: or have you updated to their stable PPAs?
[16:33:17] new_tolinux: I am running 10.04 from the cd, didn't do any updates yet, since I read that some updates would break mythtv live anyway
[16:33:31] new_tolinux: also, a clean install

[16:34:08] wagnerrp: mythbuntu's PPAs
[16:34:11] wagnerrp: enable them and update
[16:34:29] new_tolinux: that means doing an 11.04 install? or a mythdora install?
[16:34:55] wagnerrp: that means taking your 10.04, enabling the mythbuntu PPAs, and running auto-update

[17:45:01] new_tolinux: do I need to use a newer version of mythtv? at the moment it's using 0.23+daily-fixes, but I see that I also can choose 0.23.1, 0.24.x or 0.25
[17:45:33] sphery: 0.24.x is the currently-supported version
[17:45:44] sphery: and, IMHO, much more stable than 0.23.x
[17:45:46] new_tolinux: and that will work in 10.04?
[17:45:56] new_tolinux: or do I need to go to 11.04 first?
[17:45:58] sphery: (and has some pretty significant channel scanning fixes)
[17:46:32] sphery: I don't know my *buntu, but I'd guess that if http://mythbuntu.org/repos offers you 0.24.x on your *buntu, it would work

[17:48:32] new_tolinux: lol
[17:49:41] new_tolinux: you aren't running mythtv? or are you using mythdora?
[17:51:56] new_tolinux: for me mythbuntu was more or less the first try.... since I run ubuntu on multiple pc's here.... although, this particular one should just display TV and record/convert, so I guess it doesn't really matter which linux flavour it runs on

[17:53:52] alex--: thx
[17:53:59] alex--: it requires a mysql server, why?
[17:54:02] sphery: well, we are working to make it easier to set up

[17:56:06] sphery: new_tolinux: fwiw, your choice to go with Mythbuntu was an excellent choice. It is, IMHO, the best way to get started--and, especially for people who use unmodified MythTV code, to continue using MythTV.
[17:56:46] new_tolinux: well, at least I know it was working, about 2 years ago I had it running with 9.04
[17:58:06] new_tolinux: but I guess it needed some updates or other tweaking, and since 9.04 isn't supported anymore, it didn't work out-of-the-box yesterday....
[17:58:23] new_tolinux: and I guess that I never made notes about what I did *oops*

[17:59:40] sphery: Yeah, the mythbuntu packagers do a great job of keeping up with mythtv development and adjusting their packages to take advantage of changes in our codebase... I would be using Mythbuntu if I weren't messing with MythTV internals.
[18:00:17] sphery: and, in reality, notes from 9.04 wouldn't necessarily help too much with 10.04 or beyond--a lot of stuff changes between releases
[18:00:55] sphery: so "rediscovering" how to do stuff isn't really a bad approach
[18:02:11] new_tolinux: hmm.... it would probably give me at least a few hints where to start..... since I more or less guess that the actual problem isn't with mythtv or the card, but with mythtv using the card
[18:05:41] new_tolinux: ok.... a lot of "Added Channel europe-west ..." and at the end a warning "Failed to find any new channels!"
[18:08:20] new_tolinux: and in the front-end just a whole lot of "snow"
[18:12:19] new_tolinux: changing the card type from "Analog V4L capture card" to "IVTV MPEG-2 encoder card" as suggested earlier doesn't change anything, except that I get an error about opening a buffer

[18:25:52] new_tolinux: from the other room (#ubuntu-mythtv) : (18:14:05) greg L: new_tolinux, I am not 100% sure,but I think you should be using mpeg-2 not V4L..

[18:27:09] new_tolinux: hmmz.... I know.... and he knows too, that's why he suggested me to have a look in this channel
[18:27:49] new_tolinux: but, in the end, I have a pinnacle pctv card, and it works, it only doesn't work in mythtv atm.....
[18:28:45] new_tolinux: why should I spend a lot of money on a new card, if I have a working one, which has worked with mythtv before?
[18:29:01] wagnerrp: because theyre a PITA to work with in general

[18:36:04] new_tolinux: in fact, that was the main reason that I changed to mythbuntu in the first place, since in w2k I had no program which I could schedule recordings with
[18:36:51] new_tolinux: and.... since the card is actually working..... it should not be that much of a hassle to get mythtv working with it either I guess

[19:09:44] stuartm: new_tolinux: we're not trying to discourage you, but the problem here will be finding someone with enough experience of using those cards, most of the world has now moved onto digital and digital cards are a lot easier to setup/use, anyone who had to use an old fashioned framegrabber in the past will have tried hard to forget the experience
[19:10:37] stuartm: the hardware doesn't get much testing with MythTV now for the same reason, meaning that it's not impossible that something has broken when it comes to scanning etc

[19:11:16] wagnerrp: actually, analog scanning in 0.22 was broken
[19:11:22] wagnerrp: but i thought that was fixed before 0.23
[19:11:27] wagnerrp: certainly in 0.24
[19:11:48] new_tolinux: I don't recall which version was bundled with mythbuntu 9.04, although it could be 0.21
[19:12:08] wagnerrp: it was
[19:12:37] new_tolinux: but like I said, it's probably not really a scanning-problem, but a problem between mythtv and that card
[19:13:22] new_tolinux: if it was just a scanning-problem, then I certainly would have more than a lot of snow
[19:14:07] new_tolinux: since it's very unlikely that every channel which get locked would produce snow, although mythtv states in the end that no channels were found, it does lock about 40 channels (maybe more)

[20:20:40] wagnerrp: only the frontend
[20:24:56] justinh: and with no mythtv backend, no mythbox plugin for XBMC will ever work
[20:25:25] Scopeuk-AFK is now known as Scopeuk

[20:47:19] alex--: mythbackend can run on windows too
[20:47:48] wagnerrp: but it wont do anything
[20:47:50] justinh: not with tv tuner cards it can't
[20:47:52] wagnerrp: due to lack of tuner support
[20:48:26] wagnerrp: the most you could hope for it is a file server for storage group content
[20:48:42] wagnerrp: but thats assuming it actually has the ability to use the completely foreign filesystem format
[20:49:11] justinh: if all you're interested in doing is watching live television in XBMC mythtv is not for you. maybe try something else
[20:50:06] alex--: live television & recording in XBMC
[20:50:13] alex--: they told me i should run mythv
[20:50:17] justinh: heh
[20:50:24] alex--: the next system i'm going to install xbmc on is a linux machine
[20:50:25] wagnerrp: they didnt realize you were insistent on using windows
[20:50:31] justinh: but to use tv tuners you need linux
[20:50:32] alex--: but i'm only going to buy that system if mythtv is working
[20:50:35] justinh: (with mythtv)
[20:50:39] alex--: ah
[20:50:46] wagnerrp: you cant get mythtv working without that linux system
[20:50:49] wagnerrp: bit of a catch 22 there
[20:51:10] justinh: and no, doing it in a virtual machine is likely too hard to be worth it
[20:52:43] jya (jya!~jyavenard@mythtv/developer/jya) has joined #mythtv-users
[20:52:58] new_tolinux: you don't want to do it in a virtual machine, since you've got no proper virtual card for receiving the signal....
[20:53:22] wagnerrp: speaking of which, what tuner card do you have?
[20:54:36] jya (jya!~jyavenard@mythtv/developer/jya) has quit (Client Quit)
[20:58:57] wagnerrp: WTF
[20:59:30] wagnerrp: neil cooper is a tool
[21:00:07] wagnerrp: hes complaining that there are non-US movies he owns that are on IMDB but not TMDB
[21:00:18] wagnerrp: so he is proposing we add an IMDB metadata grabber for 0.25
[21:01:20] stuartm: riiiight
[21:03:29] stuartm: funny, when I find a film that's not on TMDB I create it ... but maybe that's because I'm community minded and I know that for every film I take the time to add, there are hundreds more being added by other volunteers like myself
[21:03:48] wagnerrp: thats because... youre not a tool
[21:04:03] stuartm: if everyone decided they couldn't be bothered, well tmdb or imdb wouldn't exist
[21:04:51] justinh: open source may not even exist
[21:05:06] justinh: but hey, at least he bothered to 'contribute' eh
[21:05:08] wagnerrp: civilization might not exist
[21:06:27] justinh: I hope he doesn't have any kids. or ever have any
[21:07:14] justinh: oh wow massively useful! the gui,extra debug is awesome
[21:07:51] stuartm: justinh: a little noisy for my tastes, which is why I moved all the image loading/caching stuff to extra
[21:08:01] justinh: stuartm: showing me how I've hammered stuff together a bit – my buttonlist area dimensions are out of whack
[21:08:51] stuartm: justinh: have you seen the layout debugging stuff? Draws the name of widgets and shows lines around their areas?
[21:09:26] stuartm: tbh I deliberately kept logging to a minimum in mythui, I went through and pulled out a bunch of it once I'd got things mostly finished/stable
[21:10:15] stuartm: justinh: it's a bindable action, TOGGLEUIDEBUG or something
[21:11:01] Scopeuk is now known as Scopeuk-AFK
[21:11:34] stuartm: under JumpPoints, 'Toggle Show Widget Borders' and 'Toggle Show Widget Names'
[21:11:45] stuartm: or maybe that was only added after the 0.24 release
[21:12:03] iamlindoro: I seem to it recall being a bit more recent, yeah
[21:14:12] stuartm: it's all a blur ;)
[21:15:23] justinh: stuartm: ha I'd forgot all about that
[21:15:42] justinh: one for tomorrow. I'm going to bed
[21:15:50] justinh: naa night
[21:18:00] sphery: They're jump points added by https://github.com/MythTV/mythtv/commit/7c0a2 . . . 9218118b4ee5 (specifically, "Toggle Show Widget Borders" and "Toggle Show Widget Names") on Mar 5, so must be unstable, only
[21:18:36] sphery: ah, it seems I'm just repeating you all
[21:18:45] sphery: didn't notice you'd already gotten there
