[01:06:12] wagnerrp: the user didnt provide logs of ethtool
[01:06:26] J-e-f-f-A: ah, gotcha. ;-)
[01:07:27] wagnerrp: dmesg logs made note of NDIS and wlan drivers
[01:07:37] wagnerrp: i was curious as to what speed it claimed to connect at
[01:09:45] J-e-f-f-A: gotcha.

[01:27:42] devinheitmueller: wagnerrp: fyi: "RNDIS" is not really NDIS, nor does it use ndiswrapper under Linux. It's basically a USB device class for ethernet devices.
[01:28:18] wagnerrp: oh? well its still odd that it registers as a wlan device
[01:28:33] devinheitmueller: It was a Microsoft standard for USB Ethernet devices to all use a common driver, and it came out before the USB consortium came up with their own USB device class for Ethernet.
[01:28:42] devinheitmueller: wagnerrp: probably just ifconfig being wonky.
[01:29:44] devinheitmueller: Or that's what the Linux driver author called the rndis driver. If you look at the ifconfig output, there is no mention of wireless. It's a standard Ethernet device.
[01:30:37] devinheitmueller: Anyway, the fact that it's RNDIS is the reason it "just worked" under Linux without any need for it's own USB driver or having to change an existing driver to know about the DCR-2650's USB PID/VID.
[01:30:45] wagnerrp: right, it was only dmesg reporting that stuff
[01:31:32] wagnerrp: so that was just additional cruft rndis carried with it when it got loaded?
[01:31:50] devinheitmueller: Probably.
[01:32:10] devinheitmueller: I haven't looked at the Linux RNDIS driver code, but that would be a reasonable guess.
[01:33:10] devinheitmueller: If you do a google for "RNDIS" you will see it's actually pretty popular. Lots of devices use it (for example, many phones use it for USB tethering).
[01:34:30] devinheitmueller: Anyway, just popped in to clear that up. Ttyl.
[01:34:48] wagnerrp: thanks, later

[01:56:10] wagnerrp: BN?
[01:56:27] J-e-f-f-A: Burn Notice. ;-)
[01:56:35] wagnerrp: oh, didnt see tonight
[01:56:50] J-e-f-f-A: Ah, you've got it scheduled, no?
[01:59:30] wagnerrp: scheduled yes, but ive got nothing to record it on
[01:59:51] wagnerrp: still havent gotten my cable boxes installed after they shut off analog earlier this year
[02:00:41] J-e-f-f-A: eek...
[02:01:50] J-e-f-f-A: It's online in a day or so, right?
[02:02:53] wagnerrp: yeah, hulu carries the last couple episodes
[02:04:10] J-e-f-f-A: Well, at least you don't totally miss it... yikes. USA is one of my favorite channels... ;-) As a matter of fact, it probably IS my most recorded channel...
[02:06:13] bdfoster (bdfoster!~bdfoster@unaffiliated/bdfoster) has quit (Quit: Quitting now...)
[02:07:23] J-e-f-f-A: Dang, I hadn't watched Hulu in a while... the quality is pretty darn good... ;-)
[02:07:37] wagnerrp: well...
[02:07:51] wagnerrp: ill say its about as good as i got off the analog tuners on my 150s
[02:07:57] wagnerrp: but that isnt saying much
[02:08:21] J-e-f-f-A: Yeah, it's not HD, but dang, it's pretty good...
[02:08:48] wagnerrp: theres no analog noise, thats as much as ill give it
[02:09:09] J-e-f-f-A: Yeah. ;-)
[02:09:09] wagnerrp: its still like 360p or something
[02:10:14] J-e-f-f-A: I had PVR-150's until I went to HD about a year ago... But was using Sat STB's via S-Video... So no analog noise for me back then... just an occasional sat signal artifacts...
[02:10:20] bbc581 (bbc581!~bbc581@74-129-133-88.dhcp.insightbb.com) has joined #mythtv-users
[02:10:31] wagnerrp: yeah, im trying to pair it to DTAs
[02:10:48] wagnerrp: which means crummy quality coming out of the box, to crummier quality going into the tuners
[02:11:01] J-e-f-f-A: Hopefully the type with video outputs?
[02:11:54] wagnerrp: they dont make DTAs with video outputs, hence the 'tuners'
[02:12:34] J-e-f-f-A: Ah, ok, I guess I've only seen them on the HD converter boxes then (ATSC)
[02:13:00] J-e-f-f-A: You have the DTAs now? What's left to figure out?
[02:13:09] wagnerrp: blasting
[02:13:47] J-e-f-f-A: Ah...  ;-) Been there, done that. ;-) I used to use a Serial IR blaster, now I use a MCE remote receiver to blast to one of my STB's.
[02:14:53] J-e-f-f-A: I fought with my old Dish DP7200 receiver... It wasn't until I broke out my O-scope that I found that the signal needed to be repeated at least 3x for the receiver to respond... Otherwise, the waveforms were perfect...
[02:16:39] wagnerrp: i cant even get my IR lights to light up
[02:16:44] wagnerrp: for all i know, theyre all burnt out
[02:17:02] J-e-f-f-A: What are you blasting wit?
[02:17:06] J-e-f-f-A: *with
[02:17:12] wagnerrp: the 150s and an mceusb
[02:17:21] wagnerrp: actually, i couldnt get the mceusb to light up
[02:17:30] wagnerrp: so i tested hitting it with 1.5V
[02:17:39] wagnerrp: i got a response out of that!
[02:17:54] wagnerrp: (and im sure it burned out)
[02:17:56] clever: you know about LED's and current limiting?
[02:18:13] J-e-f-f-A: Try it again, with a 100ohm resistor inline -
[02:18:19] clever: yeah
[02:18:35] J-e-f-f-A: If you did it briefly (just a tap), the led is probably ok.
[02:18:50] J-e-f-f-A: If you held it on, well, that might not be the case. ;-)
[02:18:55] clever: ive fried a regular led once before, and the smell and smoke was noticable
[02:18:58] wagnerrp: yeah, its dead
[02:19:04] clever: plus, it now has a brown tint inside the lense
[02:19:17] clever: surprised the smell could escape the sealed plastic end
[02:19:35] wagnerrp: you just need some replacement smoke
[02:19:51] clever: i actualy know of a site that told some back in april
[02:20:01] J-e-f-f-A: wagnerrp: Well, it is just an IR LED, you could open it up and solder a new LED on there... it might not be as small though. ;-)
[02:20:10] clever: i think they sold it on april 1st :P
[02:21:56] J-e-f-f-A: I found some on fleabay, but they're $6.48 each... grr... They're 'pretty', but grrr...
[02:22:46] wagnerrp: http://www3.telus.net/bc_triumph_registry/images/Smokekit2.jpg
[02:23:33] J-e-f-f-A: wagnerrp: Ooh, just found one for $3.99 each and free shipping – that's more like it... auction# 250676228397
[02:23:46] J-e-f-f-A: humm.. ships from china though, so you'd have it in 2 or 3 weeks...
[02:23:50] wagnerrp: well i need two of them
[02:23:55] wagnerrp: and the mceusb is too far to use anyway
[02:23:58] clever: wagnerrp: lol
[02:24:05] wagnerrp: so i would either need to buy another unit
[02:24:22] wagnerrp: or i need to buy a replacement cable for one of my 150s, which got snapped off in the port
[02:24:34] clever: wagnerrp: i was thinking more of http://www.sparkfun.com/products/10622 'Magic Blue Smoke Refilling Kit'
[02:25:09] wagnerrp: gearheads do it bigger
[02:25:37] clever: i havent used the 150 blaster in ages
[02:25:46] clever: the driver ceased to compile one day
[02:26:30] bbc581: yeah it was a b**** try to keep up with that thread
[02:26:46] wagnerrp: thread?
[02:27:17] J-e-f-f-A: wagnerrp: Lots of hits on "mce receiver" on fleabay... cheapest one I've seen so far is $13.99 for just a receiver and 1 blaster... (free shipping too)
[02:27:26] bbc581: yeah I had the same problem compiling the drivers myself I was having a problem with my distribution
[02:27:47] clever: it worked fine until i did a dist-upgrade
[02:28:13] J-e-f-f-A: I had similar issues with the Serial IR blasting — upgrades often broke it...
[02:28:15] bbc581: yeah they started integrating all that stuff into the kernel
[02:28:16] clever: i need to redo the entire master backend, the alsa libs and qt libs are now holding mythtv back
[02:29:47] J-e-f-f-A: wagnerrp: ooh, 2 for $6.95 – and US seller... # 360336112217
[02:30:33] bbc581: im getting to see this wife exceptance factor thing is going to qualify for a solid state drive purchase
[02:32:38] J-e-f-f-A: bbc581: I <3 my SSD – my backend FLIES now... Even with >500 channels and ~1200 recordings and ~4 years of 'previously recorded' history...
[02:32:54] J-e-f-f-A: bbc581: Mythweb locally on the backend is near-instant with everything...
[02:33:19] J-e-f-f-A: bbc581: and remote (via internet) is many times faster too.
[02:38:50] bbc581: has anyone had any problems using the analog drivers for the saa7164?

[06:46:09] justinh: well in programs all the CheckState calls seem to be referring to bools.. and a bool is either one or the other.. off or full AFAIK
[06:46:18] k-man: justinh, I don't see half and full in arclight (at least not on my initial look
[06:46:53] justinh: I can't even think of when 3 checked states would be useful

[06:47:16] dekarl: k-man: drawing primitives in xml, something like svg? (on, off, maybe and "inherit whatever is default". perfect.)
[06:47:31] k-man: justinh, maybe half is like "not defined" or something
[06:48:09] justinh: k-man: I'm still looking in the code. nothing I've found is setting the CheckState to half anywhere
[06:48:11] k-man: dekarl, no idea as I don't know anything about the syntax of svg
[06:48:58] justinh: k-man: safe to say you can't use svg in mythui xml
[06:49:23] k-man: I was just thinking it would be nice to be able to do some sort of line drawing instead of having to include an image
[06:49:31] dekarl: justinh: you can't loads svg images?
[06:49:36] justinh: no
[06:49:43] dekarl: bummer
[06:49:53] justinh: not that it'll improve anything anyway
[06:49:56] dekarl: I'm not going to ask about "embedded svg" or something
[06:50:07] justinh: since every svg would be converted to a bitmap like everything else
[06:50:25] dekarl: hmm, svg renders well as opengl (or so I'm told)
[06:50:47] justinh: dekarl: not in mythtv
[06:51:08] dekarl: anyway, I'm not coming up with a patch for that, so I'll better shut up ;)
[06:51:11] justinh: everything gets loaded, scaled & alpha-multipled into a qimage
[06:51:33] justinh: I think the sooner the qt painter is ditched the better :-)
[06:51:55] justinh: if we were using qt to do opengl painting.. different story

[06:52:31] justinh: sometimes I even question whether it's still necessary to prescale images
[06:52:41] k-man: justinh, interestingly, Arclight has an empty space for not checked, and a spot for checked
[06:52:47] k-man: I could work with that
[06:52:49] dekarl: "just gl and some video surfaces is enough for everyone"
[06:53:13] k-man: is the qt painter going to be ditched?
[06:53:22] justinh: well, my grep of the stuff in mythtv is complete... nowhere is doing SetCheckState to anything other than a bool
[06:53:27] justinh: k-man: I hope so
[06:53:42] dekarl: justinh: I can see good prescaling and filtering going a long way if you render interlaced to analogue crts...
[06:53:53] justinh: it's of limited use now, and is only really still around for legacy compatability
[06:54:06] justinh: dekarl: gl's scaling filters are better than qt's
[06:54:18] justinh: and nothing gets rendered interlaced
[06:54:53] justinh: your X is always progressive unless you're using an interlaced mode – and if you're using a TV out of a VGA card you ain't in an interlaced mode
[06:55:07] kth (kth!~kth@unaffiliated/kth) has joined #mythtv-users
[06:55:11] dekarl: justinh: don't know the details on what scaling gets used. And well, it's gets rendered to look nice on interlaced ;)
[06:55:30] justinh: it gets rendered. end of story
[06:55:40] justinh: the same as when it goes to a HDTV. no difference
[06:56:11] justinh: the scaling used in mythtv is the best qt has – which I think the equivalent of is cubic interpolation
[06:56:47] justinh: I've got a comparison somewhere from when I was messing with bringing effects to the mythui painters
[06:57:43] dekarl: I didnt want to suggest to invest work in making old interlaced output look better or something, no worries :)
[06:57:44] justinh: prescaling is done because the best scaling qt offers would be too slow on some older systems to use on the fly
[06:58:37] justinh: but if you just use gl.. it doesn't take much longer to scale & display an image than it does just to display it – unless your gl really sucks (Intel)
[06:59:40] justinh: I suspect the qt painter may not have long left :)
[07:00:52] justinh: I mean even with Intel's sucky gl on my laptop, scaling & rotating on the fly with mythui was pretty funky fast – I mean you could scroll through the watch recordings list/epg & menus in a blur still
[07:01:11] justinh: and it was only slightly slower than with prescaled images
[07:01:13] dekarl: just use gl sounds good. Let the embedded fans add some nice mipmapped image cache and only upload the relevant sizes to not trash their tablets/phones video memory ;)
[07:01:27] justinh: let the embedded fans die in a fire
[07:01:32] justinh: mythtv isn't for embedded systems
[07:02:20] justinh: anyway there are other improvements that can be made to help those with less power.. like dirty area redrawing – where only the screen areas which change are redrawn
[07:02:45] justinh: the qt painter does that at the moment but the gl one doesn't.. but it can be made to quite easily
[07:03:04] justinh: XBMC have only recently started doing dirty area redrawing
[07:03:25] k-man: justinh, did it improved things performance wise?
[07:03:34] justinh: not for the vast majority of people
[07:03:55] dekarl: I don't see real reasons to not run the *frontend* on tablet/appletv kind embedded stuff. Heard of the xbmc work in that area.
[07:04:05] justinh: but for folks with less than powerful gl... (portable devices) .. sure
[07:04:42] justinh: dekarl: AFAIK appletv isn't exactly a lowly gl device. the GPU in that is pretty capable AFAIK
[07:05:08] justinh: same with tablets.. it's more about the CPU I think
[07:05:26] justinh: the drawing doesn't take as long as the CPU telling it to do the drawing :D
[07:05:57] justinh: so maybe if XBMC is gearing up for tablet use maybe they might want to rethink the OneBigListOfEverything(TM)
[07:06:05] dekarl: true, it's been an issue of only 16MB memory and no real CPU/GPU at all, but now with >1GB memory in most phones that's long gone
[07:06:21] justinh: mythfrontend on a phone? MEH
[07:06:28] justinh: I wish I could make that MEH much bigger
[07:07:27] justinh: I think battery tech needs to catch up with CPU speed improvements in mobile devices before long
[07:08:03] dekarl: "phone" as a synonym of the one embedded platform with the highest number of units around. it's more or less the same specs as any tablet / embedded stb / boxeebox...
[07:08:24] AndyCap: same s***, different wrapping? :)
[07:08:32] justinh: the concept of mythfrontend on a STB is dead to me
[07:09:26] justinh: people go... "ooo this STB looks linuxy" I COULD RUN MYTHFRONTEND ON IT!
[07:09:42] AndyCap: and here I thought mythtv was all about the applianc. :P
[07:09:47] AndyCap: +e
[07:10:12] justinh: yeah, they sure could.. apart from the fact the stupid piece of crap relies on HW accelerated video decoding no mere mortal linux user is ever gonna get their grubby hands on a driver for
[07:10:49] justinh: AndyCap: the people who talk about mythtv as a 'product' are prone to fall into that kind of trap
[07:10:58] dekarl: justinh: been there, wanted that, looked at the specs and moved on (and yes, the one thing that's missing is an API for the graphics / video acceleration)
[07:11:35] justinh: it's a pretty damn big 'one thing' though
[07:11:43] AndyCap: hehe, an SDK for set-top boxes based on some sort of ION platform. :P
[07:12:13] AndyCap: but I guess having your receiver fall over on crappy video is a no-go
[07:12:33] justinh: they tend to cope with broadcast stuff they're designed for
[07:12:45] justinh: and if it fails with your own content you can just recode it
[07:12:59] justinh: and if you're doing anything else, it's your own stupid fault

[15:24:12] devinheitmueller: That's good news.
[15:24:17] NickHu: Yeah :)
[15:24:32] NickHu: But I'm not exactly sure what that option does; by disabling it do I lose EIT?
[15:24:36] devinheitmueller: Wait a second. That suggests the mythtv core is somehow broken if it's attempting to tune while a scan is in progress...
[15:24:48] devinheitmueller: It should have either stopped doing EIT, or informed you that the tuner was unavailable.
[15:25:55] NickHu: Meh, I guess it looks like that
[15:26:12] NickHu: But then again arch linux in general has always been "quirky", you kinda get used to it

[15:31:54] devinheitmueller: I won't dare speculate. Given the time of day though, I imagine there are probably others from Europe on the channel. Would be good for them to chime in if they know anything...
[15:32:45] laga: NickHu: active EIT scan is "active" in the sense that it actively switches transponders/channels to collect new data
[15:32:59] laga: with "passive EIT scan" being opportunistic and only recording data from the currently tuned channel
[15:34:00] NickHu: Yeah, I understand the reasoning, but I guess it depends on which point you want to look at it from; for example, one could interpret active as what you are actively doing (i.e. actively watching tv/recording on a channel)

[17:55:54] Scopeuk: likwid--_, distro?
[17:56:04] wagnerrp: likwid--_: sounds like compiz
[17:56:16] Scopeuk: likwid--_, you have to turn on legacy fullscreen compatability in compiz if its installed

[17:57:15] likwid--_: content+artwork
[18:02:39] likwid--_: otherwise its just giant screens of blue pixelated background.

[18:23:11] likwid--_: so do i need to install it so i can enable that workaround?
[18:26:13] tgm4883: likwid--_, no
[18:26:26] tgm4883: if you don't have compiz installed, then that isn't the right bug
[18:27:24] tgm4883: I'm assuming you have checked that the frontend is set to fullscreen
[18:27:38] tgm4883: and that a 'dpkg -l compiz' actually says it is uninstalled
[18:29:11] likwid--_: yea i checked that.. No packages found matching compiz.. ill see was else is goin on

[19:11:33] Seeker`: any ideas at all?
[19:12:14] likwid--_: whats the permissions on the file
[19:12:19] iamlindoro: Is the file actually filling up? If so, the issue is with the stream itself
[19:12:23] iamlindoro: The permissions are not relevant
[19:12:33] iamlindoro: The backend is writing it, meaning it has permissions ot read it and stream it
[19:13:05] Seeker`: the file is present on the backend
[19:13:13] Seeker`: (the .jpg file)
[19:13:20] iamlindoro: I didn't ask if it was present-- I asked if it was filling up
[19:13:22] iamlindoro: Forget the jpg
[19:13:26] iamlindoro: I'm asking about the recording
[19:13:37] iamlindoro: the icon message is irrelevant
[19:13:57] Seeker`: there was a recording scheduled to happen 40 mins ago; It doesn't look like it tuned properly, but got about 88MB of data
[19:14:09] Seeker`: which doesn't seem enough for a 36 min recording :P
[19:14:12] iamlindoro: "L" with nothing else means the channel itself has locked on the tuner. The next step would be opening the file for writing and writing it out to disk
[19:14:42] iamlindoro: Right, so there's something wrong with a) the tuner, b) your channels (possibly requiring a rescan), or c) the stream from the channels
[19:14:46] iamlindoro: my money would be on "B"
[19:14:53] iamlindoro: and after that, A"
[19:15:26] Seeker`: it did this last night too, and a reboot fixed it.
[19:15:39] iamlindoro: Then it's almost certainly a tuner or tuner driver issue
[19:15:41] Seeker`: Kinda want to get to the root cause rather than just rebooting again
[19:15:57] iamlindoro: If it took a reboot to fix,. and myth isn't reporting errors, then it's not a myth problem
[19:16:08] iamlindoro: Myth won't report errors when the driver doesn't report errors
[19:16:21] iamlindoro: if the driver doesn't report errors, there is something wrong with it, or with the hardware
[19:16:33] iamlindoro: because as far as myth knows, everything is hunky dory, and this is just a very very low bitrate file
[19:16:54] Seeker`: will see if rebooting again fixes it
[19:18:49] Seeker`: mmm, reboot fixed it again
[19:18:57] iamlindoro: Basically, myth is a very very fancy frontend to information and data passed to it by the V4L-DVB API and drivers. If the driver reports an error, we act on it. If the driver reports nothing, we assume everything is fine. Even when the channels scanned are no longer functional, we at least say something about it
[19:19:23] iamlindoro: So the fact that everything is just sitting there acting as though everything is fine, and the fact that a reboot fixes it, pretty much confirms a driver or hardware issue
[19:20:00] Seeker`: well, its a nova-t 500, so I would have thought that the drivers would be relatively stable as it seems to be a widely used card
[19:20:23] iamlindoro: Widely used cards (and driver which used to be awesome and stable) break with new kernals all the time, sadly
[19:20:29] iamlindoro: er kernels
[19:20:34] iamlindoro: my spelling is atrocious today
[19:20:55] iamlindoro: Someone "cleans things up" and breaks half the DVB drivers for an entire kernel release
[19:20:56] Seeker`: you managed to get "atrocious" though :P
[19:21:06] iamlindoro: For some reason it seems to happen a lot more often these days

[19:22:14] devinheitmueller: Also, what kernel are you running? There was some breakage for that board introduced in 3.0, and there are patches pending for 3.1 that fix them (if I recall)
[19:23:06] Seeker`: err, whatever mythbuntu uses. I've restarted the machine now, so I'll take a look at dmesg next time it happens
[19:23:19] devinheitmueller: Which mythbuntu?

[19:23:59] devinheitmueller: Hmm, yeah, check dmesg then. You shouldn't have the breakage introduced in 3.0, but there could be other stuff going on.
[19:24:07] devinheitmueller: Also, you know the Nova-T cannot survive a soft-reboot, right?
[19:24:23] devinheitmueller: If you need to reboot, you need to power off the system, then power it back on.
[19:24:25] iamlindoro: It likes it hard
[19:24:33] devinheitmueller: Uh.
[19:24:53] Seeker`: I did "sudo reboot". Seems to have fixed it :)
[19:25:06] iamlindoro: That would be a soft reboot
[19:25:17] devinheitmueller: Running "reboot" is bad. There is a high probability that one tuner or the other is screwed up.
[19:25:23] devinheitmueller: (not necessarily always the same tuner)
[19:25:43] iamlindoro: devinheitmueller: Screwed up in a fashion that could cause the issue he's seeing?
[19:25:49] iamlindoro: Lock but no/broken stream?
[19:25:54] devinheitmueller: hard to say without seeing the dmesg output.
[19:26:37] devinheitmueller: Also, I don't know what patches Ubuntu may have backported into their stable kernel.
[19:27:02] Disputin (Disputin!~disp@65.102.58.17) has joined #mythtv-users
[19:27:18] Seeker`: Last night I did a proper power off when I rebooted to fix the problem
[19:28:21] Seeker`: just tried manually switching tuners on livetv, both seems to be working correctly
[19:28:39] devinheitmueller: Also, I don't think that board handles suspend/resume properly, so you are likely to see issues there as well if you let the system go to sleep.
[19:28:57] Seeker`: i haven#t set it up to go to sleep
[19:29:08] devinheitmueller: Bear in mind the soft-reboot doesn't guarantee failure. It's just a matter of chance.
[19:29:34] devinheitmueller: Your PC will likely go to sleep by default unless you have specifically taken action to set it up to *not* go to sleep.
[19:30:00] iamlindoro: Seeker`: Remember, just because it's momentarily okay doesn't mean that it's ok on an ongoing basis-- I would take devinheitmueller's work and perform a hard reboot if you care about anything scheduled to record
[19:30:10] iamlindoro: then at least you will have eliminated that as a source of issues
[19:30:27] iamlindoro: versus coming back the next time and us just having to say, "Well, you didn't do a hard reboot..." and start you over again
[19:30:55] iamlindoro: s/work/word/
[19:30:58] Seeker`: k, doing a hard reboot
[19:31:56] Seeker`: devinheitmueller: before I removed the monitor I had it running for a few days without ever having to wake it up from more than screen blanking
[19:36:48] devinheitmueller: I probably wouldn't want to speculate any further until I saw the dmesg output from when the problem occurs.
[19:39:12] Seeker`: yeah, I'll post some more info as/when it happens again
[19:39:19] Seeker`: thanks for your help + time

[23:01:03] sphery: You should choose either Slim (for all software decode and display) or one of the VDPAU profiles (for hardware decoding/display in the GPU)
[23:01:32] marsilainen: I'm using "CPU+" (the default)
[23:01:37] sphery: yeah, definitely don't use that
[23:01:44] marsilainen: which is best?
[23:01:44] sphery: Try VDPAU Slim to start with
[23:01:49] marsilainen: ok
[23:02:08] sphery: if that works, work your way up through Normal and High Quality and drop back if your system can't keep up with one
[23:02:42] marsilainen: ah, yes, instantly better
[23:02:45] marsilainen: thanks
[23:02:49] sphery: cool
[23:02:59] marsilainen: can you explain briefly what I've done? :)
[23:03:10] Seeker`: offloaded decoding to the video card
[23:03:14] marsilainen: ie. what do I lose by switching from CPU+ to VDPAU slim?
[23:03:15] marsilainen: ok
[23:03:17] sphery: yeah, we've actually removed the CPU+, CPU++ and CPU-- profiles from our development version because they're so broken
[23:03:26] sphery: you lose a broken mythtv and gain a working one?
[23:03:27] sphery: :)
[23:03:29] marsilainen: hah
[23:03:34] sphery: CPU+ is broken garbage
[23:03:41] sphery: it's 1990-style video decode
[23:04:12] marsilainen: so does Normal give something over Slim?
[23:04:19] marsilainen: in terms of effects or something?
[23:04:34] sphery: mainly Normal and High Quality are increasing the amount of processing done for deinterlacing
[23:04:48] marsilainen: done by the CPU or the GPU?
[23:05:07] sphery: so play back an interlaced recording (i.e. from NBC or CBS or PBS or whatever is appropriate for your country) and test it with Normal and High Quality
[23:05:30] marsilainen: ok, I'll have to figure out what that might be in the UK
[23:05:44] Seeker`: any normal broadcast TV
[23:05:44] sphery: the VDPAU ones do it on the (VDPAU-compatible NVIDIA) GPU (using VDPAU-compatible NVIDIA proprietary drivers)
[23:06:53] Seeker`: bah, I wish the 3d drivers for some of the atom chips were better, they'd be quite capable if they were
[23:08:24] marsilainen: ok, well thanks for the help I shall continue to play
[23:08:25] marsilainen: so far so good
[23:08:38] marsilainen: took me a little bit to get audio through HDMI working
[23:08:48] marsilainen: but apart from that it's been quite smooth
[23:09:17] sphery: heh, yeah, hdmi loves to make things more difficult--but you only have to plug in one cable, so it must be worth it ;)
[23:09:58] marsilainen: hehe
[23:10:42] marsilainen: yeah, for me it was just a case of figuring out the right "sp/dif" device to use (it gave me a choice of 4 and happened to be the second one for whatever reason)
[23:11:07] Seeker`: I haven't managed to get anything other than mythtv to be able to output sound over hdmi yet

[23:54:10] iamlindoro: sphery: In unstable/development, you can also edit the description, inetref, season, and episode.
[23:54:26] iamlindoro: FWIW ;)

[23:55:44] iamlindoro: sphery: I think it's hilarious how when the guy wanted to do the insane Netflix Stream->Capture->Stream->Watch thing, and you said not to, everyone came to his aid and lost their marbles... and now that he's come back and realized it won't work, the same guys who defended him are losing their marbles on *him* :)
[23:57:07] sphery: heh, yeah
[23:57:30] sphery: and didn't notice the inetref/season/episode stuff in unstable--makes sense, though
[23:57:54] sphery: I'll just pretend that I knew it and left them out because he only asked about title/subtitle/description stuff
[23:57:58] shipit (shipit!~shipit@67.221.38.116) has quit (Remote host closed the connection)

[23:59:57] sphery: shhh, someone might notice it, now
