| [02:08:53] | FreakShow_: | Looks like I finally got mythTV up and running. Hooray...! |
| [02:10:40] | FreakShow_: | Anybody have experience setting this up with HD Homerun? |
| [02:10:59] | FreakShow_: | A lot of the channels do not seem to be properly setup but some are. |
| [02:11:51] | skd5aner: | FreakShow_: lots of people, you should be able to do a scan via mythtv-setup if your provider (OTA or Cable) sends either ATSC or ClearQAM |
| [02:13:31] | FreakShow_: | skd5aner: BTW. Thanks for the tip yesterday. I followed your advice and just installed MythBuntu... There was just no way it was going on my existing Ubuntu 10.04 setup... |
| [02:13:54] | skd5aner: | ah, different name today? |
| [02:14:27] | skd5aner: | glad you got it up and running |
| [02:15:12] | FreakShow_: | Yep, can't remember my nicknames. Using WebIRC somethin' or 'nother... |
| [02:15:34] | skd5aner: | Clumpy |
| [02:16:03] | FreakShow_: | Thanks... There's my Alzheimer's setting in... |
| [02:16:55] | FreakShow_: | Using the AMD Proprietary driver... Is that advisable? |
| [02:18:14] | skd5aner: | huh? |
| [02:19:03] | FreakShow_: | MythBuntu has two options – Open Source Video or AMD Proprietary. Chose AMD... Wondering if anyone else has an opinion on that or if it matters... |
| [02:26:05] | skd5aner: | as in, video out? |
| [02:26:12] | FreakShow_: | Wow, the interfaces are overwhelming. This is incredible... I don't even know where to begin... |
| [02:26:28] | skd5aner: | what video cards are you using? something built into the motherboard? |
| [02:26:39] | FreakShow_: | MythWeb – Wow!! This is coooollll..... |
| [02:27:07] | skd5aner: | http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/User_Manual:Index |
| [02:27:16] | FreakShow_: | I'm just talking about the video board on the box I set up. Don't even have a digital tuner. Just an ATI 3650 video card... |
| [02:27:41] | skd5aner: | that's still the place to go to understand any configuration options, it's best to understand what the settings mean and how to use them before you attempt to change any of them from their defaults – most times, the defaults are set that way for a reason |
| [02:27:42] | FreakShow_: | Using the Networked HD Homerun for the tuner... |
| [02:30:08] | FreakShow_: | Yeah, I'm getting some TV channels and I signed up for Schedules Direct so I have an account. But I don't think the channels have come in correctly... |
| [02:30:29] | FreakShow_: | Not all of them anyhow... Probably screwed something up in the setup and not sure what I did. |
| [02:30:47] | FreakShow_: | They should offer a University course in MythTV. Dang... Lots of options. |

| [03:19:00] | FreakShow_: | What's up with some channels showing one over the other? (I.E. Two channel screens of the same channel on the WATCH TV function – one on top of the other at the same time vertically squished onto the screen...)? |
| [03:19:22] | tgm4883: | FreakShow_, don't use bob2x |
| [03:19:39] | tgm4883: | use a different deinterlacer |
| [03:19:46] | tgm4883: | or buy an NVidia card |
| [03:20:36] | FreakShow_: | What is bob2x? |
| [03:22:29] | tgm4883: | FreakShow_, a deinterlacer |
| [03:22:34] | FreakShow_: | Is Nvidia Card a better deal with MythTV? Any reasons or explanations before I go tearing my box apart? |
| [03:23:08] | sailerboy (sailerboy!sailerboy@ipv61.sailerboy.net) has joined #mythtv-users | |
| [03:23:28] | tgm4883: | FreakShow_, just change your playback profile to use something besides bob2x as the deinterlacer. In the past AMD hasn't been the best at supporting Linux. This may have changed some but I believe NVidia still supports Linux way better |
| [03:25:58] | FreakShow_: | Where is the playback profile setup? Is that on the backend or the frontend? |
| [03:26:02] | mycosys: | freakshow ATI drivers for linux are not very stable, especially for the recent cards, and do not support decode acceleration |

| [03:26:24] | tgm4883: | FreakShow_, it's a frontend thing |
| [03:26:27] | mycosys: | or to be accurate do not support decode acceleration in any manner that is used |
| [03:26:41] | tgm4883: | since Playback would happen on the frontend |
| [03:27:22] | FreakShow_: | Thanks for bearing with me. I'm really impressed by all the bells and whistles here but its pretty overwhelming... Just trying to get to a point with basic functionality right now... |
| [03:27:44] | mycosys: | Nvidia drivers, although closed source, are stable and have excellent decode acceleration support |
| [03:28:24] | ** tgm4883 just got back from vacation and it's about 90 degrees in my house so i'm grouchy ** | |
| [03:29:11] | mycosys: | I would for 90F at the moment |
| [03:29:21] | mycosys: | it is about 15C at the moment |
| [03:29:42] | FreakShow_: | All right. I've got tons of hardware in a box over here. I've got a GT430, GeForce 210, and a Geforce 8800? Which one would you use? |

| [03:31:28] | mycosys: | otherwise 210 |
| [03:31:44] | mycosys: | ut the 430 has the power for inverse telecine etc on hd |
| [03:32:47] | FreakShow_: | Thanks. The card in here right now is AMD/ATI 3650HD |

| [03:42:35] | FreakShow_: | Thank you sir... Would have never figured that out in a million years. |
| [03:43:26] | FreakShow_: | OK. Question... Does the video card affect the recordings at all? This MythWeb looks like other clients on the network can grab a recorded show and play it back in VLC or whatever... |
| [03:44:56] | mycosys: | nope – doesnt affect recodings – just playack |
| [03:45:09] | mycosys: | can also run the mythtv frontend across the network |
| [03:45:13] | mycosys: | even on windows |
| [03:45:29] | mycosys: | for viewing oth recordings and live tv |

| [04:14:46] | endip: | Any suggestions? |
| [04:18:16] | [R]: | well theres no such thing as an "hd cable tuner" |
| [04:18:34] | [R]: | the linuxtv wiki shows what tuners are supported |
| [04:18:45] | [R]: | theres also the hd homerun as a ethernet solution |

| [06:36:30] | Guest96319: | But I just can't seem to find the correct playback option |
| [06:36:58] | Guest96319: | on 0.23 playback worked fine on the option 'High Quality' in Setup->TV->Playback |
| [06:37:23] | Guest96319: | I have googled, and haven't really found anyone with the same problem, especially related to 0.24 |
| [06:38:21] | Guest96319: | anyone got any ideas? |
| [06:38:39] | Guest96319: | it pretty much starts playing, and just freezes frames |

| [06:42:09] | dekarl: | (05:38:18) sph ery: Freak Show_: Playback Profile setup is mythfrontend Utilities/Setup|Setup|TV Setting|Playback, 3rd screen... Change the Playback Profile group from CPU+ to Slim |
| [06:42:09] | dekarl: | (05:41:29) myco sys: or just put the <NVidia Card, if you got one lying around> in and choose vdpau high quality and ur done lol |
| [06:42:38] | mycosys: | needs to e an nvidia that supports vdpau |
| [06:42:56] | mycosys: | ie most 8xxx and newer |
| [06:43:02] | mycosys: | apart from some 8800s |
| [06:43:42] | mycosys: | 8400gs is powerful enough for most stuff, ut not all post processing, same for gt210 |
| [06:44:01] | Guest96319: | yeah thats what I am thinking of getting a nvidia and be done with it |
| [06:44:19] | Guest96319: | I have tried all the profiles, slim, normal, etc and even tried creating my own |
| [06:44:21] | Guest96319: | no luck :/ |
| [06:44:38] | Guest96319: | I tried to disable sound to make sure its not trying to do something with syncing |
| [06:45:03] | Guest96319: | The thing is it worked perfectly fine with 0.23, and I am using xmbc to use playback now and its working fine too |
| [06:53:33] | Guest96319: | Altenatively, anyone got a weblink on how to downgrade from 0.24 to 0.23? |

| [08:36:28] | DjMadness: | Hi guys, I have been looking for a DVB-C tuner with CI/CAM module for use in mythtv, that is either USB or expresscard and is supported under linux, does anyone in here have such a solution ? the linuxtv wiki does not seam to have been updated for a long time, and there is nothing on there that would even state that its useable. (which cannot sound right since hw support under linux is allot better, than is what being posted.) |

| [10:19:37] | sphery: | DjMadness: There aren't usually a lot of people using CI/CAM modules in here. You can hang out and might come across someone, but you'll likely get the fastest response by sending an e-mail to the mythtv-users mailing list ( http://www.mythtv.org/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users ), since more people are likly to notice the post than a random question in here. |
| [10:20:37] | waxhead_ (waxhead_!~pete@ppp121-45-214-7.lns20.cbr1.internode.on.net) has joined #mythtv-users | |
| [10:24:27] | sphery: | ServerSage: that sounds like either a problem with the playback profile or the video drivers (but I'd need some kind of screenshot or picture to make a better guess). I'd recommend trying the Slim playback profile group (Utilities/Setup|Setup|TV Settings|Playback, 3rd screen). If that doesn't help, it's almost definitely a video driver issue. Might want to post to mythtv-users mailing list and see if anyone else has seen similar (and ... |
| [10:24:33] | sphery: | ... linking to a screenshot or pic of the screen would likely get the most helpful replies). |
| [10:26:19] | ServerSage: | sphery: If it is drivers there really isn't much that can be done (limited options with a mac mini). I'll do as suggested and get a screen shot tomorrow. I'm pretty sure it's just an overscan issue. I had the same issue in Linux and just adjusted the scaling up a bit to solve it. |
| [10:27:25] | ServerSage: | sphery: Actually, just tried it on my Mac Pro which has a totally different video card, and the recordings all have that nasty line across the bottom. I think it really is part of the recording. I just need to adjust playback to hide it. |

| [10:43:07] | sphery: | ServerSage: ah, if it's part of recording, you can zoom it off screen... how are you "bumping up the Vertical scaling"? You can use MythTV's manual zoom or use one of the pre-configured zoom levels. Another option is the crop filter ( http://www.mythtv.org/docs/mythtv-HOWTO-10.html#ss10.4 ) |
| [10:44:00] | sphery: | manual zoom has the benefit of allowing you to move the zoomed image up/down, so if it's only on the bottom of the recording, you can move the image down so you don't lose an equal amount on top |
| [10:44:59] | sphery: | the other option is to set up your video output to output an image larger than shown on your TV (or to use your TV's scaler to zoom in--and put some of the output off screen), but those approaches will lose equal amounts on top and bottom (and will likely lose some on left and right, too) |
| [10:46:37] | ServerSage: | sphery: I've been using the "Vertical Scaling" in the playback settings, which I believe does as you just described – zooms the image so you loose a bit of the image on all sides (which is ok in my book). |
| [10:46:56] | ServerSage: | sphery: But, setting it does NOTHING at all. So I'll give these filters a go I suppose. |
| [10:48:27] | sphery: | hmmm... it's likely only used with certain outputs--likely only Xv--so may not work with quartz |
| [10:49:41] | stuartm: | the 'bar' could be a rendering issue on OSX, the old multiples of 4 or 16 in video buffers issue |
| [10:50:16] | stuartm: | but a video driver bug is also a good explanation |
| [10:51:11] | ServerSage: | stuartm: Nope, it's part of the recording. Exists in Linux, Windows, OSX, and is visible even in VLC and MPlayer. I'm trying to get a screen shot now, not easy when the entire house is sleeping and I Have to be quiet. Hehe. |
| [10:52:06] | sphery: | might be worth trying the zoom modes--easiest is to start with a half or full zoom--and see if that "covers" it... |
| [10:52:38] | sphery: | if so, that at least lets us know it's possible to zoom on quartz output |
| [10:52:59] | ServerSage: | sphery: Is this the same as hitting 'w'? If so, that works. |
| [10:53:28] | stuartm: | ServerSage: interesting, normally you _might_ expect that at the top of the picture, but not the bottom |
| [10:54:03] | ServerSage: | Okay, got a screen shot: http://tinypic.com/r/20a848x/7 |
| [10:54:26] | ServerSage: | Forgive the extreme black bars at the top and bottom, it's a 1080i recording being veiwed on my 1920x1200 display. |

| [10:54:52] | ServerSage: | But, you see the bar at the bottom (grey in the screen cap). That is at the very bottom of the 1080p TV. |
| [10:55:39] | dekarl: | 1080 might be coded as 1088 and 8 pixels must be ignored... if that bar is pixel line 1081 to 1088 that might be a hint |
| [10:55:55] | sphery: | ServerSage: w is different--it's TOGGLEASPECT, which basically tells the player that the video's display aspect ratio is different from what the video says |
| [10:56:20] | sphery: | zoom is more like the Vertical Scaling setting |
| [10:56:41] | jarle (jarle!~jarle@70.84-234-133.customer.lyse.net) has joined #mythtv-users | |
| [10:56:58] | ServerSage: | dekarl hit the nail on the head. It's 8 pixels exactly. |
| [10:57:11] | ServerSage: | dekarl: So, how does one fix that? |
| [11:00:46] | sphery: | there's code to deal with that... may not be in use for the (lightly tested, at best) mac os x support :) |
| [11:01:10] | dekarl is now known as dekarl_afk | |
| [11:05:44] | ServerSage: | sphery: Not what I want to hear. lol |
| [11:07:27] | ServerSage: | sphery: Where can I find the zoom stuff in myth? |
| [11:08:43] | ServerSage: | sphery: Oh, you mean in playback? Not really a solution. |
| [11:09:41] | sphery: | yes, it's code that's used in playing back the recording |
| [11:11:02] | ServerSage: | Okay, just played with it while playing a recordings (menu->video->manual zoom mode) and I can zoom it so it hides the bar perfectly. |
| [11:11:44] | sphery: | ServerSage: Try applying this patch to your code: http://code.mythtv.org/trac/attachment/ticket . . . _vdpau.patch . If it works, we can probably get that backported to -fixes. |
| [11:13:04] | ServerSage: | I was actually using the binary from sf.net. I'll have to grab it and compile tomorrow and report back. It's way, WAY past my bedtime. |
| [11:13:09] | sphery: | ah, wait, that's not the fix that went in, that was a user-provided patch... This is what went in: https://github.com/MythTV/mythtv/commit/bf01a135 |
| [11:13:37] | sphery: | which means we'd likely need a similar patch for videoout_quartz.cpp |
| [11:13:48] | ServerSage: | sphery: Wait, that looks like a vdpau patch….you just answered my question. :) |
| [11:14:12] | ServerSage: | sphery: I was going to say, I assume that won't work on OSX... |
| [11:15:12] | sphery: | well, the user patch was a non-vdpau-specific patch (despite its name) |
| [11:15:18] | sphery: | but the proper fix was vdpau-specific |
| [11:15:40] | sphery: | so we'd need the quartz-specific version of a fix |
| [11:16:10] | sphery: | if you'd like to try to create one, that would be very much appreciated |
| [11:16:33] | ServerSage: | sphery: Afraid I'm not a programmer, but I did stay at a holiday inn express once... |
| [11:17:08] | sphery: | if you get stuck or whatever, feel free to create a ticket and say that it seems to be the same type of issue from #8409 with the quartz renderer and include a link to a small (50–100MB or so) clip from a recording that displays the issue |
| [11:17:19] | sphery: | (or just a small recording you create with live tv) |
| [11:19:05] | ServerSage: | sphery: Great, will do. Thanks for the help, at least now I know *what* the problem is, a workaround to keep the wife happy, and a path to take in order to get it fixed. GREATLY appreciated. |
| [11:19:35] | sphery: | yeah, looks like it's a not-straightforward conversion to get the quartz equivalent (the videoout_quartz.cpp is very different from videoout_vdpau.cpp) |
| [11:19:47] | ServerSage: | sphery: One last question, when I create an example recording, what is ok to record and post? I assume copywritten material is a no-no. |
| [11:20:17] | sphery: | because it will be a very small excerpt, it's not likely to be a big problem with copyright |
| [11:20:42] | ServerSage: | sphery: Alrighty. Thanks again for the assist. |
| [11:21:08] | sphery: | you could choose to just flip to and away from an affected channel during a commercial break if you really want to make it unlikely for anyone to come after you |
| [11:22:14] | sphery: | thank you... oh, and note that the guy who will likely handle it is in the middle of a move half-way around the world, so it could be a while before he gets to it |
| [11:23:54] | ServerSage: | sphery: I don't expect anybody to break their backs to get this fixed. Free time is precious, I understand. |
| [11:28:09] | EvilGuru: | On OS X I always get a green line along the bottom, not part of the recording |
| [11:28:35] | ServerSage: | EvilGuru: I only get it for recordings captured from an HD-PVR. |
| [11:28:47] | ServerSage: | EvilGuru: HDHomeRun recordings are fine. |
| [11:29:04] | ServerSage: | EvilGuru: And they are DEFINITELY part of the recording. |
| [11:29:30] | EvilGuru: | ServerSage: Could be a different issue then, as I only the green bar on OS X |
| [11:30:10] | ServerSage: | EvilGuru: Is it just solid green, or does it flicker different colors like a corrupted video? |
| [11:30:17] | EvilGuru: | Solid green |
| [11:30:29] | ServerSage: | EvilGuru: Odd, I've never seen that. |
| [11:30:52] | EvilGuru: | But the OS X frontend builds are questionable anyway |

| [12:23:15] | EvilGuru: | How do the channel closed screens on Freeview/DVB-T work? |
| [12:23:43] | EvilGuru: | As I have MHEG enabled on my frontend but trying to watch a closed channel gives me a black screen, as opposed to my TV which shows a closed image |
| [12:25:39] | stuartm: | it used to work, but we may have disabled the use of MHEG on off-air channels because they routinely fail to signal that the MHEG should be torn down when the channel comes on-air again |
| [12:26:23] | stuartm: | they even acknowledge as much normally "If you see this screen but hear audio then try retuning the channel" or words to that effect |
| [12:27:22] | stuartm: | note, I only say that we 'may' have disabled it, I don't specifically remember such a change being made just a lot of people complaining that the mheg wasn't going away when the channel started broadcasting |
| [12:28:58] | EvilGuru: | So does myth know the channel is off air? |

| [12:38:28] | stuartm: | but only once it's tuned |
| [12:39:12] | stuartm: | that may or may not mean that it's off-air, it could be a data-only channel (which logically defeats my earlier supposition) |
| [12:39:32] | stuartm: | ok, I don't know what's going on there |
| [12:46:56] | sphery: | stuartm: re your #mythtv comment... I'm guessing "SD blockedtime" means something other than MythFillMinHour/MythFillMaxHour, right? If not, we explicitly disable min/max hour when users enable MythFillGrabberSuggestsTime. |
| [12:58:47] | stuartm: | sphery: the SD blockedtime seems to be a server defined period when grabbers must not be run, I guess it's intended for periods of planned downtime or especially heavy load |
| [13:00:30] | stuartm: | it's a counterpart to suggestedTime but although we parse it, the value is then unused anywhere |

| [15:33:52] | darkdrgn2k: | whats mythdroid all about any one know? |
| [15:37:08] | wagnerrp: | remote control and limited frontend for android |
| [15:39:29] | darkdrgn2k: | is that the "best" thats out there right now |
| [15:39:55] | wagnerrp: | only purpose written one for android i know of |
| [15:40:36] | darkdrgn2k: | man i really wish there was a way to stream stuff to an android tablet LoL |
| [15:40:49] | darkdrgn2k: | ok differnt question. |
| [15:41:01] | darkdrgn2k: | im looking are re-building my Myth network at home to somethign more stable |
| [15:41:10] | darkdrgn2k: | (been running fedora+trunk for the last few years) |
| [15:41:38] | darkdrgn2k: | whats the best +most stable way torun myth? mythdora ? |
| [15:42:09] | wagnerrp: | im partial to gentoo personally |
| [15:42:24] | darkdrgn2k: | gento+compiled myth or emerged myth |
| [15:42:33] | wagnerrp: | same difference |
| [15:43:06] | darkdrgn2k: | the way i have it setup now is 1 BE/FE 1 closet BE with a HD PVR and a PXE boot FE in the bedroom |
| [15:43:43] | darkdrgn2k: | so that means i'd have to compile all 3 all over again right? |
| [15:44:48] | wagnerrp: | i have one combined fe/be, and two more dedicated bes running gentoo |
| [15:44:58] | wagnerrp: | i compile once, and use that to re-image the other two machines |
| [15:45:03] | wagnerrp: | s/bes/fes/ |
| [15:45:35] | darkdrgn2k: | do you have distributed storage (ie storage on all your bes) |
| [15:46:05] | wagnerrp: | a shared iscsi base image |
| [15:46:24] | wagnerrp: | on first boot, they load in their specific overlay from an nfs share |
| [15:46:25] | darkdrgn2k: | what about verison updates... |
| [15:46:30] | wagnerrp: | version updates? |
| [15:46:43] | darkdrgn2k: | ie myth .24-.25 |
| [15:46:49] | darkdrgn2k: | need re- compile on all right |
| [15:47:02] | wagnerrp: | no, i have one shared iscsi base image |
| [15:47:09] | darkdrgn2k: | oo |
| [15:47:13] | darkdrgn2k: | one shared image for all bes |
| [15:47:39] | wagnerrp: | i manage the one image, clone it for the three machines |
| [15:47:53] | wagnerrp: | so each machine has its own cloned image with full read/write access |
| [15:48:12] | wagnerrp: | so on first boot, the base image tells it to pull an overlay of various configs and reboot |
| [15:48:19] | darkdrgn2k: | dam that'd be quite the probject |
| [15:48:21] | wagnerrp: | on second reboot, it boots into its particular role |

| [17:19:05] | scampgb: | Hi – could some kind soul please give me a hand with stuttering in Myth playback? |
| [17:19:33] | scampgb: | I thought I'd solved it by changing the playback profile to Slim.. but it seems to have recurred |
| [17:19:50] | [R]: | what kind of video are you playing? |
| [17:20:44] | scampgb: | A mythtv recording of a DVB-T recording. The problem started about a month ago, since when I've done everything I can think of – including a complete reinstall. The problem is intermittent – it's fine for several minutes, then virtually unwatchable |
| [17:21:59] | scampgb: | I get the same issue when playing back an AVI file |
| [17:22:24] | scampgb: | The machine is a combined BE/FE, and I don't get the problem when watching the programme on a remote FE |
| [17:22:26] | [R]: | that doestn tell me anyting about the kind of video |
| [17:22:57] | scampgb: | Sorry, I'm not sure how to tell what's actually in the file – could you point me in the right direction? |
| [17:23:26] | [R]: | mythffmpeg -i |
| [17:25:33] | scampgb: | Thanks – just checking |
| [17:27:44] | scampgb: | It's mpegts, bitrate 4475kb/s, yuv420p, 720x576 |
| [17:27:49] | scampgb: | Does that help? |
| [17:29:42] | scampgb: | Processor utilisation during playback is around 30% (most of it by mythfrontend) |
| [17:29:44] | [R]: | thats pretty carppy video |
| [17:29:53] | [R]: | it shoudl be able to handle it on slim just fine |
| [17:30:41] | messerting (messerting!~messertin@39.79-161-65.customer.lyse.net) has quit (Read error: Operation timed out) | |
| [17:30:49] | scampgb: | Yeah – sometimes it plays back fine, other times I get either freezing for a fraction of a second, or corruption of the video |
| [17:31:14] | [R]: | on the same vidoe file? |
| [17:31:33] | scampgb: | The myth logs (with -v playback) shows things like "Video is 4.6654 frames ahead of audio" whenever the problem happens |
| [17:31:49] | scampgb: | Yes – but it seems to happen with all files, including those that I recorded recently and those that I recorded years ago |
| [17:32:16] | [R]: | so it doesnt happen at the same spot if you reply the video file? |
| [17:32:19] | scampgb: | The machine is a perfectly vanilla Debian Squeezy install with mythtv stable |
| [17:33:11] | Seeker`: | sounds a lot like the problems I've been having |
| [17:33:24] | Seeker`: | does the audio repeat itself? |
| [17:33:47] | scampgb: | Kinda difficult to tell. It seems to be "sticky", so that once it happens it keeps happening. If I leave it for a few mins and replay the same section of the video, I don't get the problem |
| [17:34:07] | scampgb: | I'm just testing it again. the audio doesn't repeat itself, if just stops. |
| [17:34:28] | Seeker`: | ah, not the same then |
| [17:34:58] | scampgb: | Hmm… I've just tested it again – and got delays/artifacts at exactly the same point (a big explosion onscreen). |
| [17:35:43] | scampgb: | When it happens, the logs show that it's doubling video frame rate interval to catch up with the audio |
| [17:35:51] | scampgb: | The audio stutters at around the same point |

| [17:39:59] | wagnerrp: | what is your sound card? are you using pulseaudio? |
| [17:40:43] | scampgb: | The machine is using ALSA:default for playback – I think the sound card is onboard, and I'm not using pulseaudio |
| [17:42:41] | scampgb: | I'm just trying to work out what the sound card is |
| [17:45:01] | scampgb: | The main board is an MSI MS-6380E, with AC97 (ALC650) chipset |
| [17:46:19] | scampgb: | ALSA says that it's a VIA 8233A |
| [17:48:07] | wagnerrp: | i think i had one of those boards |

| [18:28:01] | FnC: | Afternoon all... I need to start storing my recordings.. i have a lot of HD recordings – m2ts mpg files right now... i would like to remove commercials, and remove any secondary audio streams.. Storage space isnt a major concern.. but i want to Maintain quality.. Ultimately i want to end up with mkv files... Does anyone do something similar? Im having a hard time finding any howtos for this sort of thing... |

| [18:37:10] | wagnerrp: | if you dont need to have mkvs, use edit mode during playback to mark your commercials, and then use a lossless transcoding profile to remove them from the mpegs |
| [18:37:31] | wagnerrp: | should take all of about five minutes of clipping, and then another three minutes for the transcoder, on an hour long show |
| [18:38:02] | wagnerrp: | that will get you down to 65–70% of the original |
| [18:38:25] | FnC: | ....so once i have my cutlist done, how to i tell it to use a transcoding profile? |
| [18:38:27] | wagnerrp: | if you want, remux to mkv afterwards for another couple percent due to the more efficient container |
| [18:38:31] | FnC: | er which one to use |
| [18:38:46] | wagnerrp: | there is no built in lossless profile, you have to edit one of the existing ones |
| [18:38:54] | wagnerrp: | most people use the autodetect mpeg2 profile for such |
| [18:39:02] | wagnerrp: | there is a checkbox for 'lossless' |
| [18:39:05] | wagnerrp: | just check that off |
| [18:39:08] | wagnerrp: | there are no other options |

| [18:45:35] | wagnerrp: | its a bug with the Qt4 libraries |

| [19:01:37] | FnC: | i notcied there were two autodetect profiles... |
| [19:01:53] | dekarl: | stuartm: I agree, stripping the "end-of-programming" pseudo programmes should be done in the grabber. |
| [19:02:59] | FnC: | autodetect from mpeg2 and autodtetect from rtjpeg/mpeg4... should i just change those both.. for the lossless settings? |
| [19:03:09] | justinh: | good luck with that |
| [19:03:12] | FnC: | and when i choose autodetect it will use one of the two? |
| [19:04:26] | justinh: | you don't really wanna transcode to rtjpeg |
| [19:04:36] | justinh: | not unless you want the files to be much bigger |
| [19:04:41] | wagnerrp: | lossless only works for mpeg2 |
| [19:06:36] | FnC: | ok, but when im watching the video and go to transcode i only have a "Autodetect" and not a "Autodetect mpeg2" ....i just want to make sure if i select autodetect it will use the transcoder that is autodetect mpeg2 for lossless |
| [19:06:50] | wagnerrp: | yes, that is the purpose of autodetect |
| [19:06:59] | wagnerrp: | if the content is mpeg2, it will run the autodetect mpeg2 profile |
| [19:07:18] | wagnerrp: | if the content is mpeg4 or rtjpeg, it will run the autodetect rtjpeg/mpeg4 profile |
| [19:07:28] | wagnerrp: | autodetect on the source, not the result |
| [19:07:47] | FnC: | ok.. just wanted to make sure, that that function worked well enough.. (autodetect stuff normally scares me) but i guess in this case its quite accurate and easily detectable |

| [19:28:51] | iamlindoro: | the more I make it do, the more people complain |
| [19:29:59] | wagnerrp: | i dont understand why mythtv doesnt have any way to store release group names |
| [19:30:12] | wagnerrp: | you have to give them credit for their hard work and labor |
| [19:30:19] | [R]: | HAHA |
| [19:30:40] | wagnerrp: | i mean you dont want to be a dick and just steal their work |
| [19:31:46] | iamlindoro: | wagnerrp: To put it in terms that people actually ask for, how about the desire to parse ".Bluray." from the title so that they can proudly display a little blu-ray icon |
| [19:32:08] | laga: | iamlindoro: can you resize the blu-ray icon and make it really blurry? |
| [19:32:09] | iamlindoro: | even though the file bears no resemblance to a bluray at 4 Mbit 720p, with no features, chapters, or additional stuff |
| [19:32:21] | iamlindoro: | laga: heh |

| [19:33:08] | wagnerrp: | iamlindoro: on 0.23.1? |
| [19:33:13] | iamlindoro: | heh, not on stupid .23 |
| [19:33:19] | wagnerrp: | well there you go |
| [19:33:55] | iamlindoro: | I can't be held responsible for .18 not playing Blu-ray either |
| [19:34:12] | [R]: | you must backport it! |
| [19:34:24] | iamlindoro: | heh |
| [19:35:07] | justinh: | for the record, I wasn't complaining about mythvideo :-) |
| [19:35:50] | justinh: | I guess I could always just edit every 'misspelling' I find.. might take a while though |
| [19:35:59] | justinh: | (and submit it back) |
| [19:36:06] | iamlindoro: | justinh: I know you weren't, though it made me think of the recent complaining about the removal of JAMU in favor of a scheme that gives the user so much more, simply because people can't be bothered to learn the new way |
| [19:36:38] | justinh: | heh that all in the background stuff is pretty awesome but really highlights the short-sightedness of the tvdb |
| [19:37:01] | justinh: | but I've decided not to care too much since it's only really affecting Torchpoo |
| [19:37:21] | iamlindoro: | justinh: Well, even that is totally handleable in the new scheme |
| [19:37:40] | justinh: | heheh. more win :-) |
| [19:37:48] | iamlindoro: | You go to your TW: MD recording rule, perform a lookup that points it at the Torchwood record at TVDB, and thereafter it gets it all right |
| [19:38:08] | iamlindoro: | That's how my rule is set up, and as a result the recordings get their correct Season, Episode, artwork, etc. |

| [19:39:33] | ** justinh ponders renaming this theme something that reflects the time it's taking to do ** | |
| [19:39:55] | iamlindoro: | I think the best way is to just have it check the device's built-in channel map for each channel when mythfilldatabase runs, and only insert those which are subscribed and not copy protected |
| [19:39:56] | sid3windr: | hehe |
| [19:40:11] | iamlindoro: | and remove those which are unsubscribed or copy protected |
| [19:40:29] | sid3windr: | maybe when there is .CAM. in the directory or file name, you could make the metadata images a bit blurry and put a standing up person in front? perhaps play cracklingpopcorn.wav ? |

| [20:38:40] | ShapeShifter__: | The tuner hooked up to the sky / rabbit ear antenna populated fine. The one with the cable / QAM256 channels is all screwed up... |
| [20:42:40] | skd5aner: | You have to manually enter the XMLTVID for each channel |
| [20:42:40] | wagnerrp: | the deal is the same with any other digital tuner |
| [20:42:42] | wagnerrp: | scan for channels |
| [20:42:50] | wagnerrp: | and then match them up |
| [20:43:37] | ShapeShifter__: | OK, so I grab the XMLTVID from Schedules Direct or ZAP 2 IT and then edit in the channel list on MythWeb right? |
| [20:43:50] | wagnerrp: | yes |
| [20:44:10] | wagnerrp: | zap2it exposes xmltv ids on their website? |
| [20:44:16] | ShapeShifter__: | You guys are great. If you have any favorite projects or charities let me know and I'll make a contrib... |
| [20:44:47] | wagnerrp: | donations of code, themes, or documentation welcome |
| [20:45:04] | stuartm: | there's a brewery I like to contribute to ... |
| [20:45:49] | ShapeShifter__: | wagnerrp and skd5aner only... |
| [20:45:57] | ShapeShifter__: | sorry |
| [20:46:20] | skd5aner: | wagnerrp: zap2it doesn't do it directly, but I believe it's exposed in the query string |
| [20:47:12] | skd5aner: | wagnerrp: for example – http://tvlistings.zap2it.com/tvlistings/ZCSGr . . . p;channel=12 |
| [20:47:16] | skd5aner: | "10035" |
| [20:47:17] | ShapeShifter__: | So I don't even need to worry about the channel number really then right? I'll just take the channel #'s it from the homerun config gui... |
| [20:47:44] | iamlindoro: | Once you put the XMLTVid in, you can run mythfilldatabase --do-channel-updates |
| [20:47:49] | iamlindoro: | and all your channels will have correct logical numbering |
| [20:47:52] | ShapeShifter__: | The XMLTVID is the key to getting your SchedulesDirect data correctly... |
| [20:48:00] | iamlindoro: | (and naming) |
| [20:50:38] | skd5aner: | ShapeShifter__: no need to donate anything in my name in this instance... I only said one line :) But, if you're really scratching for something which also helps projects like MythTV, you can always donate to a developer who helps create drivers for tuner cards which mythtv leverages – http://www.devinheitmueller.com/linux_support_fund.html |
| [20:50:42] | ShapeShifter__: | One more thing as I continue to absorb MythTV. I'm getting about a 0.7 second delay. Track synchronization of the audio at -0.7 second works approximately in VLC. Is there a setting I can put in backend / frontend that will sync these up? |
| [20:52:19] | skd5aner: | the frontend does this, but only on a per recording basis currently |
| [20:52:43] | ShapeShifter__: | Just made a donation... |
| [20:52:55] | justinh: | wha? were do delays like that come from? |
| [20:52:57] | skd5aner: | the recommendation is to set the sync on a receiver or TV, but if you are seeing the delay in both mythtv and vlc, then I'd be wondering why there's a delay |
| [20:53:18] | iamlindoro: | Well now devin is just going to spend all that on hookers and blow |
| [20:53:19] | wagnerrp: | ShapeShifter__: are you outputting to an AV receiver independent from your tv? |
| [20:53:19] | iamlindoro: | ;) |
| [20:53:26] | ** iamlindoro waits for him to turn up having read the logs ** | |
| [20:53:35] | skd5aner: | iamlindoro: and blackjack! |
| [20:53:40] | ShapeShifter__: | Nahh. Just playing back on the computer... |
| [20:54:13] | wagnerrp: | content from any digital tuner is compressed by the broadcaster, and mythtv has no control over it |
| [20:54:16] | justinh: | 0.7 seconds is a heck of a long time in video terms |
| [20:54:30] | wagnerrp: | it is very unlikely your broadcaster has screwed up in such a manner to produce such an offset |
| [20:54:31] | skd5aner: | yea, I'd be surprised unless you had something in the middle causing that delay |
| [20:54:39] | ShapeShifter__: | Using a Core2Duo 8400 on the backend... |
| [20:54:46] | skd5aner: | and i you're seeing it in both vlc and mythtv, that's odd as well |
| [20:54:46] | wagnerrp: | which means there much be some configuration issue on your system causing it |
| [20:54:54] | justinh: | using pulseaudio! |

| [20:57:36] | iamlindoro: | justinh: That's because he's in his last days |
| [20:58:22] | skd5aner: | last I heard, he's looking to flee |

| [20:58:42] | iamlindoro: | Tunisia recognized the transitional council |
| [20:58:44] | justinh: | some tweets saying he's dead already |
| [20:58:47] | iamlindoro: | so they wouldn't be a great place to flee |

| [22:35:12] | oopepe: | Hi, in the python bindings there is a VideoMetadata class. What is the format of the images attribute? |
| [22:36:06] | wagnerrp: | its advised you simply import that class directly into a Video object |
| [22:36:24] | wagnerrp: | Video.importMetadata() |
| [22:37:34] | wagnerrp: | VideoMetadata.Images is a subclass, based off a list |
| [22:37:52] | wagnerrp: | it contains a list of all images from the grabber response |
| [22:41:24] | ShapeShifter__: | So I watched the videos I scheduled for record directly on the frontend Myth and no problem. Weird... |
| [22:41:39] | ShapeShifter__: | Are there multiple audio streams that come off a HDHomerun? |
| [22:41:48] | wagnerrp: | depends |
| [22:41:57] | ShapeShifter__: | Like 5.1 and 2 channel...? |
| [22:41:59] | wagnerrp: | the HDHomeRun behaves like any digital tuner |
| [22:42:14] | wagnerrp: | it simply passes on all the elementary streams defined for that channel |
| [22:42:26] | wagnerrp: | if there are multiple audio and video for a single channel, it passes them all |
| [22:43:17] | bumblebeebat_ (bumblebeebat_!~sean@wnpgmb016qw-ds01-57-105.dynamic.mtsallstream.net) has joined #mythtv-users | |
| [22:43:32] | ShapeShifter__: | So I sucked down the recorded file from the MythWeb interface and watched on another system on the network and on a Laptop – audio synch issues in VLC. On Front-End ran on the backend system no problems with audio sync... |
| [22:44:15] | oopepe: | wagnerrp: Thank you. |
| [22:47:14] | wagnerrp: | oopepe: may i ask what youre doing that you need direct access to the internals of that class? |
| [22:49:04] | oopepe: | wagnerrp: I need more help. Im trying to write a python script that creates video preview thumbnails and imports them via video.importMetadata() into the video. I didnt want to update the db directly. Is this the right way to do it? How to i create a correct VideMetadata Object for the update? |
| [22:49:33] | wagnerrp: | not the way to do it |
| [22:50:02] | wagnerrp: | the VideoMetadata is only intended to be used between the grabber interface and the Recoded/Video objects |
| [22:50:17] | wagnerrp: | if you want to add a thumbnail, do it manually |
| [22:51:16] | oopepe: | But then im dependant on the db layout. Id like to update the thumbail with some python mythtv code. Is that possible? |
| [22:51:27] | wagnerrp: | if the file is already in the correct place, just set the 'screenshot' value, and then 'update()' |
| [22:51:32] | wagnerrp: | if the file is somewhere else |
| [22:51:46] | wagnerrp: | specify whatever filename you want to use in the screenshot value |
| [22:51:52] | wagnerrp: | s/value/attribute/ |
| [22:52:21] | wagnerrp: | and then use "openScreenshot('w')" to get a writable file object |
| [22:52:33] | wagnerrp: | just read in the screen shot from the source, and write it out to that file object |
| [22:52:36] | oopepe: | Ok, is this a full system path or a relative path to the screenshot storaegroup? |
| [22:52:41] | wagnerrp: | just a filename |
| [22:52:47] | wagnerrp: | including extension |
| [22:52:49] | oopepe: | ok |
| [22:53:04] | wagnerrp: | all artwork is stored in the base directory of the storage group |
| [22:53:12] | wagnerrp: | so technically, it is a relative path |
| [22:53:22] | wagnerrp: | but that path is only going to be one level deepe |
| [22:54:31] | oopepe: | Oh, so if i have subdirectorys in my screenshot name like "path/my_screenshot.png" then this does not work? |
| [22:54:51] | wagnerrp: | it will work on 0.25 |
| [22:54:57] | wagnerrp: | it may not work on 0.24 or 0.23 |
| [22:55:16] | wagnerrp: | when the storage group writing stuff was put in initially to allow such artwork upload to the backend |
| [22:55:26] | wagnerrp: | it did not support writing outside the root path |
