[00:00:32] russk: i think i got confused after upgrading the kernel and rebuilt nvidia-drivers i was changing too many things at once

[00:01:41] sphery: ah, yeah, that can mess with whether vdpau works
[00:02:35] russk: that slow-motion thing was pretty weird  :-)
[00:03:49] Cardoe (Cardoe!~Cardoe@gentoo/developer/Cardoe) has joined #mythtv-users
[00:04:26] sphery: slow motion or slideshow?
[00:05:40] Yammeh: Is there an issue with importing a channel.conf file that's been compiled using scan?
[00:05:42] sphery: I get a slideshow using OpenGL renderer with timestretch >1.0... My dual-core 3GHz Athlon II X2 250 with nvidia GT220 and nvidia proprietary drivers is basically right on the edge of being able to use the OpenGL renderer for playback, so timestretch pushes it over the top and results in tons of dropped frames
[00:06:11] sphery: Yammeh: probably many issues... the mythtv-setup channel scanner is the only really supported way of getting channels into mythtv
[00:06:20] sphery: any reason you can't use it?
[00:07:25] yianni: Speaking of channels, can't we add a transponder manually any more?
[00:07:29] Yammeh: Maybe I'm not using it in the correct way, but it doesn't seem very easy to use..
[00:07:40] Yammeh: I'm on Input connections, I've selected my card
[00:08:02] Yammeh: click scan for channels, then it asks for details for a transponder?
[00:08:50] sphery: yianni: I don't know how, but someone on the list said they could only figure out how to do it by scanning a single transport or something
[00:09:23] sphery: ah, that was in your thread...
[00:09:32] sphery: and it was "tuned scan using the new transponder as input"
[00:09:32] yianni: Yes, he was replying to me...
[00:09:47] sphery: I'm guessing if it was possible before, it should be possible now
[00:10:09] sphery: but I have never tried using that code (since I just have OTA ATSC channels, so nothing complex like DVB-S)
[00:10:32] yianni: I'm (also) having issues with a disecq switch, the program keeps asking for input connections.
[00:11:19] yianni: The form to add a new transponder is empty. The option is there to add one but the fields are not there. No labels, nothing.
[00:12:12] yianni: I opened a ticket with all these observations but it was closed by danielk as a configuration issue.
[00:13:23] trumee is now known as trumee_afk
[00:13:49] yianni: by the way, the channels list is still empty even after copying the mythweb folders from scratch.
[00:14:55] yianni: On a more positive note, I realised that the EIT for Greek digital channels (the 4 that are available in my area) is working.
[00:16:19] Yammeh: sphery, am I trying to scan for new channels incorrectly?
[00:17:27] sphery: Yammeh: are you using DVB-S or something?
[00:17:46] Yammeh: Yes
[00:17:53] sphery: if so, the best I can do is point you to: http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/DVB-S
[00:18:01] sphery: I don't know my -S
[00:18:13] Yammeh: Okay, thanks
[00:18:38] yianni: Good luck, Yammeh.
[00:18:47] sphery: might have more luck on mythtv-users mailing list... or you can hang out here and see if any -S users show up to help
[00:19:36] Yammeh: I don't know a fat lot about satellites myself, so I'm not really a lot of help
[00:19:37] sphery: but it sounds like you and yianni and several other -S users could benefit from a nice thread on how to configure/scan -S (during which you may be able to better define/prove the bug yianni tried to report)
[00:19:47] jpabq (jpabq!~jpabq@mythtv/developer/jpabq) has quit (Quit: jpabq)
[00:20:31] sphery: hehe, well, starting a discussion in which various users--some more experienced with mythtv and some more experienced with the channel scanner and/or the "new" channel scanner in 0.25beta--can compare notes sounds like it would be very helpful to many people
[00:21:06] mzb_ is now known as mzb
[00:21:07] sphery: and would likely be a good source for working out a new page for the wiki providing a good tutorial or whatever
[00:21:23] yianni: I'll try to find some time tomorrow (it's 2 am here) when the kids are not around the tv to make some thorough and documented tests and comment on the users list.
[00:21:34] sphery: (assuming the current DVB-S page is too high-level or something)
[00:21:41] Yammeh: Hmm, it seems I can import from the channels.conf when I'm adding it from the channel editor
[00:22:09] yianni: Yammeh, do you have a diseqc or just a single lnb?
[00:22:29] Yammeh: No idea, I'm using a Sky dish to try to pick up freesat channels
[00:22:47] Yammeh: I chose LNB on the device type in MythTV setup though
[00:23:13] yianni: One satellite, then. LNB is the round thing at the centre of the dish.
[00:23:23] yianni: Technically speaking..
[00:24:23] yianni: I was ok with Hotbird, then I decided to add a diseqc and Astra too... bad plan.
[00:24:49] Yammeh: Well, I scanned Astra with scan, these are the channels I'm trying to import
[00:25:02] yianni: mythtv scan?
[00:25:08] yianni: or dvbscan
[00:25:18] Yammeh: dvb-apps, do I guess it's dvbscan
[00:26:00] yianni: It's been 2 years since I used that program..
[00:26:39] Yammeh: How do you scan for your channels then?
[00:26:40] yianni: Mythtv used to scan dvb-s ok, I had rescanned my one lnb (hotbird) without major issues.
[00:27:20] yianni: Lately though, it's been messing up. And I don't know if its the diseqc switch addition or anything else to blame.
[00:27:38] yianni: Bottom line, I can't scan for channels.
[00:28:22] yianni: Last time I tried adding one frequency from lyngsat.com, It added only the channels on that transponder and no more.
[00:28:42] Yammeh: Well, that's my problem too
[00:28:48] yianni: Whereas it used to add other transports.
[00:29:02] wagnerrp: google offers flash applications through their marketplace?
[00:30:33] wagnerrp: sphery: you do realize this means capt'm cant upgrade any longer, right?
[00:30:57] sphery: wagnerrp: he missed his opportunity... that'll teach him!

[00:31:16] yianni: Google market has been renamed to Google Play.
[00:32:01] wagnerrp: yes, but why would they be doing flash applications?
[00:32:40] wagnerrp: people want to use flash even less than they do java
[00:32:42] Yammeh: What do you mean flash applications? Ports of old flash games?
[00:32:45] zombor (zombor!~zombor_@kohana/developer/zombor) has joined #mythtv-users
[00:32:51] Yammeh: Or actually written in flash?
[00:33:31] wagnerrp: i dont know, some guy complaining that flash games hes buying on google play do not play properly through mythbrowser on his 1024x768 16:9 TV
[00:33:38] wagnerrp: theyre fat
[00:34:19] zombor (zombor!~zombor_@kohana/developer/zombor) has quit (Remote host closed the connection)
[00:34:27] Yammeh: Considering google are losing flash support in the future OS, I can't see why they'd allow flash apps on the market

[01:36:03] Captain_Murdoch: wagnerrp, sphery talked with me when he was working on the patch. :) I'm fine with it.
[01:37:02] wagnerrp: well in other news, someone has finally done it... the Ferrari Mistress... http://jalopnik.com/5892051
[01:37:10] sphery: FWIW, I sent a little note to the -users list
[01:37:25] sphery: trying to encourage 0.21-fixes and below users to update to 0.24-fixes, now
[01:38:40] sphery: our buildbot waterfall would be much nicer if it kept the column headers on screen when scrolling
[01:39:15] wagnerrp: and timestamp column as well
[01:40:08] sphery: yeah
[01:40:16] sphery: where's HTML5/CSS3 when you need it
[01:40:42] sphery: (actually, that's all doable with HTML4.x and CSS2, but since those aren't buzzwords)
[01:41:06] sphery: oh well, at least it doesn't lock up firefox like github

[01:48:27] lwizardl: hello
[01:50:38] lwizardl: If I want to take the output from my mythtv box using the composite (Yellow RCA) connection and feed that into multiple televisions for viewing the same display what would be the best option to do this ?
[01:51:18] [R]: gouging your eyes out
[01:51:23] [R]: it'll be quicker
[01:51:28] lwizardl: lol
[01:51:47] wagnerrp: get an HDMI splitter?
[01:52:10] lwizardl: i was thinking about a composite splitter
[01:52:42] wagnerrp: well you definitely dont want that
[01:52:54] wagnerrp: even if you thought you did, you would at least want an svideo one
[01:53:15] wagnerrp: but to be honest, its getting hard to find video cards with either
[01:53:46] lwizardl: yeah my box has DVI, VGA, and S-Video/RCA out on it
[01:54:01] hpeter (hpeter!~hpeter@c-82-150-208-75.dsl.hotze.com) has quit (Quit: hpeter)
[01:54:06] ServerSage: lwizardl: I'm just curious, what would make you want to do that?
[01:55:50] lwizardl: ServerSage, well it's not exactly related to mythtv but I wanted to take the output from my CCTV and feed it to the house televisions. figured someone might have done something similar with their mythbox
[01:56:18] ServerSage: lwizardl: I'm not sure I understand why you want to split composite to do so...
[01:56:46] ServerSage: lwizardl: Are you keeping the cctv head, and also pumping it through myth?
[01:56:49] lwizardl: ServerSage, it is what my cctv dvr has for output (no vga, etc)
[01:56:57] lwizardl: ServerSage, no
[01:57:25] wagnerrp: there are not-that-expensive systems that let you modulate multiple inputs over coaxial for distribution
[01:57:39] wagnerrp: or you can get cheaper matrix switches
[01:57:55] wagnerrp: my parents have a matrix switch in their motor home
[01:58:37] lwizardl: ServerSage, it is just the people that use mythtv seem to know lots about television based stuff so I was wondering if someone here had done something like this and if so how.
[01:58:40] ServerSage: lwizardl: Aaah, so you want to run both your myth box and your cctv into a single input on your TV.
[01:59:03] lwizardl: ServerSage, nope :)
[01:59:30] ServerSage: I'll just shut up now, clearly I'm sleep deprived and over alcoholed.
[02:01:54] lwizardl: ServerSage, lol i'll explain. I want to take my CCTV dvr unit (which only has Composite yellow for output) and then feed it into each television in the house (4 televisions total, the dvr unit only has one output). I plan to feed the CCTV into AV#2 on the televisions. which do not have or use mythtv on that connection port
[02:02:38] ServerSage: See, knew I was missing something simple. Thanks for beating it into my brain, I feel a sense of satisfaction now that I understand. Hehe.
[02:04:09] lwizardl: ServerSage, not a problem I know it is kinda offtopic and which what cause the confusion. that was my fault and I apologize for it.
[02:04:31] wagnerrp: i would suggest [myth]zoneminder
[02:04:37] ServerSage: lwizardl: *shrug* Doesn't bother me, I learned something new.
[02:04:38] wagnerrp: but thats only available from the local machine
[02:05:25] lwizardl: wagnerrp, yeah I was looking at that before. it is also used in LinuxMCE setup
[02:05:57] gigem_ (gigem_!~david@mythtv/developer/gigem) has quit (Remote host closed the connection)

[02:06:30] wagnerrp: who is "they"?
[02:07:06] lwizardl: would something like this work out properly ? http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-Composite-SVideo- . . . em3f0c8963ac
[02:07:32] ServerSage: Dunno, folks who kick the tires on the code. I just thought I remembered reading that when I did my zoneminder/mythzoneminder install and went through the headaches.

[02:09:52] ServerSage: Gotcha, my misunderstanding.
[02:10:57] wagnerrp: now if the zoneminder people are looking to expand to more of a networked install, that would be fantastic
[02:11:22] wagnerrp: personally, i never really cared for the architecture much, so i havent looked at it in maybe 3 years
[02:12:15] wagnerrp: id rather see the capability rewritten using chunks of myth's encoder libraries and a modified backend
[02:17:51] ServerSage: I thought I read something about it. https://github.com/MythTV/mythtv/commit/ab02583
[02:18:20] ServerSage: But, it's not exactly what I implied, so I still stand corrected.

[07:17:57] sphery: for those who didn't want to be prompted
[07:18:55] wagnerrp: ah
[07:19:14] wagnerrp: im considering putting together a "split" script
[07:19:31] wagnerrp: and working it into a new capability for mythtranscode for 0.26
[07:20:12] wagnerrp: add a 'show divider' markup point in the editor
[07:20:16] wagnerrp: run mythtranscode

[07:50:23] lapion: wagnerrp, very good idea, the capability to split recordings into multiple programs. Keep in mind that some shows are not individually named in all guides, there is great need for manual splitting of recordings into 2 or more shows..
[07:51:31] lapion: or even into 2 or more episodes of the same show..
[07:52:18] wagnerrp: for the moment at least, im going to require it be of the same show, and have all individual subtitles listed
[07:52:46] wagnerrp: if the guide data is lacking, the user can modify the subtitle through the UI before running the task
[07:54:40] wagnerrp: if this stuff is going to be pushed back into the recording tables, better to have all the necessary metadata worked out before performing the split
[07:54:53] lapion: all information the channel in question give to the quide creators is the approximate time of the show, never the episode name or such info
[07:56:19] wagnerrp: i would expect if youre using a guide service that doesnt have such data, the channels arent giving the guide creators anything and the xmltv script is some form of grabber
[07:56:25] wagnerrp: s/grabber/scraper/
[07:57:36] lapion: some weekends there is a marathon, and then you get blocks of 2 hours of the same show listed, with multiple separate episodes, even some that continue during the following listing
[07:58:51] wagnerrp: at least with schedules direct, the episode names are almost always give
[07:59:16] wagnerrp: i.e. "Pilot; Ernest Cobb", or "The Ames Bros; Sonny Brunett"
[07:59:32] lapion: no it's the channel owners that don't provide the information to any of the guide ..
[07:59:41] wagnerrp: in any case, as mentioned, i would rather have all the final information available before inserting the guide data
[07:59:59] wagnerrp: if that means setting up a new UI for the user to manually provide such data before running the utility, so be it
[08:02:06] lapion: maybe something akin to the program finder in recordings ..

[12:36:37] ptarcher: I managed to get vainfo to correctly show it can decode h264 videos, but when I tried to get mplayer and also mythtv to work decoding using vaapi I never got any video playback
[12:37:58] ptarcher: as mythtv 0.25 auto detects vaapi and tries to playback using vaapi I couldn't view video files, and mythtv would just show the 'Loading' screen
[12:38:11] ptarcher: but the sound would start playing
[12:38:42] ptarcher: this happened for both live tv, and also video playback
[12:40:39] kenni: ptarcher: TTBOMK, the VAAPI support in MythTV currently only works for some specific Intel chipsets (last generation, before Sandy Bridge), from user reports it doesn't work with the newer Intel chipsets. So getting it to work with VAAPI with non-Intel is most likely a no-go at the moment..
[12:42:04] ptarcher: kenni, thanks for the insight, should I probe mplayer people more than? seeing that mplayer to also have the same problems
[12:42:26] ptarcher: its also good to know that sandy bridge doesn't work, as I was thinking that might be a better solution to ATi
[12:50:46] kenni: ptarcher: I don't know enough about the subject to conclude if the issue is in the ATI VAAPI implementation or in the integration in the players (MythTV or mplayer). The developer who did the VAAPI integration in MythTV is not active anymore, so it's very hard to say if and when someone will look at it in MythTV.

[17:31:15] Jordack: silly question. I have two tuners. HDHomeRun and HDHomePrime. the non-prime gets very few channels and I use the Scan for channels option. The Prime gets lots of channels and i use the Retrieve line up option. Can I use the same video Source for both tuners or should i setup seperate one? ( i hope i explaind that well)
[17:31:32] wagnerrp: no, different sources
[17:31:53] wagnerrp: each source should only contain channels that are tunable by each member input

[17:34:10] wagnerrp: you can use the same SD lineup
[17:34:18] wagnerrp: however i dont know if that will reduce MFD run time
[17:34:28] wagnerrp: just how long does it take for you to run MFD?
[17:34:47] wagnerrp: you should be looking at maybe 5–10 minutes

[17:35:23] Jordack: the last time i ran it manaully about 3 hours :) but that was an --update-all. I just reinstalled my system it had some other odd issues going on with it
[17:35:24] wagnerrp: s/one/run/
[17:35:38] wagnerrp: no, you should be using --dd-grab-all

[18:23:08] Yanc: ertyu-m, it could be well it yes. the network (a wifi) is being joined quite late in the process. shall i restart the backend service after the network (make it in the script itself?)

[18:34:06] wagnerrp: i may have to get that change in for trunk after all...
[18:34:13] wagnerrp: this is a laptop?
[18:34:38] Yanc: no a desktop but connected via wifi
[18:34:55] wagnerrp: if its statically positioned, why not wire it?
[18:35:44] wagnerrp: wireless is generally troublesome for mythtv if not absolutely needed
[18:36:04] wagnerrp: G is barely enough to manage HD video to a single frontend
[18:36:10] wagnerrp: and wont do two simultaneously
[18:36:48] wagnerrp: and the whole lot are going to have problems with the very limited forward caching used in mythtv, and intermittent timeouts and reconnections on wireless
[18:37:01] Yanc: hard to wire it here. its just for recording 1 only and no hd video.. once i get to watch tv its very fine :) i just find it burdensome that i need to load the backend again – but after that all fine
[18:37:46] wagnerrp: right now, there is a change in the way certain things are handled in upcoming 0.25
[18:37:58] wagnerrp: where if the network is not completely configured prior to start up
[18:38:10] wagnerrp: mythtv applications will not function properly
[18:38:14] wagnerrp: and will need to be restarted
[18:38:55] Yanc: ow ic .. so basically even if i fix it now – the next update would completely brake it ?
[18:39:48] wagnerrp: it would mean your wireless would need to be connected, and your machine would have to have an IP, before mythfrontend starts
[18:40:24] wagnerrp: for the frontend, failing to do so would mean things like the popup listener, network control socket, web server, and RAOP functions would not work
[18:40:41] wagnerrp: for the backend, it would mean no remote frontends or slave backends would be able to connect to it
[18:41:39] wagnerrp: there would also be difficulties if you dropped networks and received a new IP over DHCP
[18:41:51] wagnerrp: but previously, the backend would fail to operate properly in that case anyway
[18:42:06] Yanc: with regards to ip etc that shouldnt be a problem – am with a static ip

[20:25:17] sphery: (using syslog to filter out the excess messages)
[20:25:50] sphery: Beirdo was mentioning how syslog could be useful for diskless frontends, using remote logging to the backend host, for example

[20:27:32] wagnerrp: my machines all have disks... what are you talking about?
[20:28:06] sphery: more than the network disks?
[20:28:17] wagnerrp: heh, well there is that
[20:29:04] wagnerrp: logging to the virtual disk means i get to keep those logs separate between different versions
[20:29:18] wagnerrp: if i flip between two different builds, i dont have mixing between the two
[20:29:33] wagnerrp: and if i want network access, i can always access the database logs anyway
[20:29:48] sphery: true
[20:30:20] wagnerrp: my whole reason for going iscsi rather than nfs was specifically that it is a "real disk" as far as nearly all of linux is concerned
[20:30:28] wagnerrp: so there is no special handling needed for it outside the initrd
[20:30:47] sphery: yeah, I'm not a fan of nfs
[20:30:52] wagnerrp: theres all sorts of funkiness you have to deal with when doing nfsroot
[20:31:00] sphery: and it's getting more an more complex with nfs4 and beyond
[20:31:09] sphery: (beyond sounds like it could be a real mess)
[20:31:15] wagnerrp: admittedly, most of that is done by scripts packaged by the distro
[20:31:22] wagnerrp: but it can still be a real mess
[20:31:28] sphery: yeah
[20:32:01] wagnerrp: iscsi bypasses that (so would ataoe, but i couldnt find a usable freebsd target)

[20:37:03] k-man: wagnerrp, does iscsi only allow one connectoin at a time to the drive?
[20:37:18] k-man: ie, you can't have multiple hosts mounting it simultaneously?
[20:37:46] tmkt: so any tips on getting airplay working? I've set the variable, i've tried 2 different RAOP keys..i've had audio play, and had the option to play video ones, but nothing happened other then a bunch of errors in the frontend error log
[20:38:20] wagnerrp: k-man: no, you can connect as many devices to an iscsi target as your server is capable of handling
[20:38:47] k-man: wagnerrp, in a read/write sense?
[20:38:53] k-man: sounds pretty interesting
[20:38:56] wagnerrp: correct
[20:39:17] wagnerrp: that said, its just a disk, like any other disk
[20:39:41] k-man: i see
[20:40:14] wagnerrp: and having two separate filesystem libraries try to make simultaneous writes to files and metadata is a recipe for disaster
[20:40:59] wagnerrp: there are certain 'cluster file systems' designed specifically for this type of operation
[20:41:17] k-man: ah i see
[20:41:21] wagnerrp: allowing multiple systems simultaneous block-level access to the devices
[20:41:36] wagnerrp: but those are fairly specialized, and rarely used outside of large SAN setups
[20:42:15] wagnerrp: two systems trying to use the same EXT4 partition simultaneously is just going to result in data corruption

[23:13:54] ben1066: Ohi
[23:14:18] ben1066: For recording a single dvbt stream, from a standard not accelerated usb reciever
[23:14:26] ben1066: what sort of cpu power is required?
[23:14:39] wagnerrp: what is a 'not accelerated' usb receiver?
[23:14:46] ben1066: i have an old via c7 running atm as an ftp server and was wondering if I could stick it on there
[23:14:47] wagnerrp: for that matter, what is an 'accelerated' usb receiver?
[23:14:51] ben1066: as in non transcoding
[23:15:00] wagnerrp: digital tuners dont transcode
[23:15:12] wagnerrp: theyre digital
[23:15:17] ben1066: some do...at least from what i read on linuxtv.org :P
[23:15:22] wagnerrp: the video comes as a pre-compressed MPEG2 or MPEG4 stream
[23:15:33] wagnerrp: recompressing that would be pointless
[23:15:34] ben1066: decompressing then
[23:15:34] ben1066: :P
[23:15:43] ben1066: w/e
[23:15:50] ben1066: anyway, so it doesnt need that much power?
[23:15:52] wagnerrp: you cant buy tuners capable of decompressing video these days
[23:16:06] ben1066: i know you cant, thats why I said standard
[23:16:10] wagnerrp: no one bothers making the "full featured" cards any longer
[23:16:28] wagnerrp: those went out of style in the early 2000s
[23:16:36] ben1066: but that shouldnt matter since all I want to do is serve the files over ftp or dlna?

[23:17:12] wagnerrp: a C7 would likely be enough to run a backend on, with only a single tuner and likely limited channels
[23:17:29] ben1066: all I want to do is to record a single tuner to a file
[23:17:35] wagnerrp: but you wont want to do commercial detection or any other post processing on it
[23:17:38] ben1066: I dont watch much tv but I end up missing what I do want to watch :P
[23:17:53] wagnerrp: so... you dont want to run mythtv?
[23:17:55] ben1066: wagnerrp: it does have some hardware acceleration...
[23:18:26] wagnerrp: hardware acceleration for playback only
[23:18:29] ben1066: wagnerrp: eh what? no...I do want...
[23:18:32] wagnerrp: mythtv cannot use it for post-processing tasks
[23:18:46] wagnerrp: and that acceleration is for partial offload of MPEG2 only
[23:18:58] wagnerrp: its insufficient for dealing with anything HD
[23:19:03] wagnerrp: and wont help at all for H264
[23:19:17] ben1066: i dont want hd.. I get 4 channels if I pay rediculous amount for a tuner

[23:19:18] ben1066: :P
[23:19:18] wagnerrp: plus support for it has been removed from the soon-to-be-released 0.25 anyway
[23:19:22] Hilikus: hey guys
[23:19:55] wagnerrp: as mentioned, an ancient C7 should be enough to run the scheduler against a single tuner and a handful of channels
[23:20:00] Hilikus: i'm trying to add an rss feed to mythnetvision but after i click on save, the feed doesn't show in the list, it is just ignored, no errors or anything
[23:20:13] abqjp (abqjp!~jpabq@174-28-190-94.albq.qwest.net) has joined #mythtv-users
[23:20:14] wagnerrp: and recording itself is little more than a file copy
[23:20:39] ben1066: why only a handful of channels?
[23:21:07] wagnerrp: the scheduler is a very intensive bit of code
[23:21:23] Hilikus: where are these feeds stored? can i add them somewhere else, not through the frontend?
[23:21:35] ben1066: really? i would have thought it more akin to cron than something than does a lot of work...
[23:21:36] wagnerrp: the more channels you have, the more recording rules you have to match shows on those channels, the more tuners you have to place those show on
[23:21:40] wagnerrp: the longer it takes to run
[23:21:57] wagnerrp: if it happens to get triggered around the time of recording
[23:22:12] wagnerrp: a long scheduler run can cause a show to be delayed, or not get scheduled at all
[23:22:45] ben1066: its only a temporary solution anyway, I plan to switch to a celeron/pentium sandy bridge or atom based server soonish
[23:22:55] wagnerrp: if it gets triggered while you are trying to watch something, a long scheduler run can cause mysql to start blocking queries from the frontend
[23:23:28] ben1066: wagnerrp: oh nono, I dont plan on a full frontend, only mythweb and a ftp/dlna server
[23:23:32] ben1066: just enough to schedule
[23:23:34] ben1066: and stream
[23:23:44] ben1066: its really only for prerecorded stuff, not live....

[23:24:06] wagnerrp: pre-recorded stuff will still suffer if your scheduler runs take too long
[23:24:24] wagnerrp: but with only a handful of channels, you should be fine
[23:29:43] Hilikus: mmm i tried a different feed and it worked. it must be something about this particular feed. what format is accepted by mythtv?
[23:29:48] PhilQ (PhilQ!~phil@80.229.134.17) has joined #mythtv-users
[23:29:57] Hilikus: this is the one i'm trying to add unsuccessfully http://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/api/users/Colo . . . erby=updated
[23:30:08] Hilikus: it's a normal youtube feed for a channel
[23:30:31] Hilikus: it works on firefox just fine
[23:32:10] wagnerrp: the MNV grabber scripts were designed to return something approximating standard RSS formats, to allow RSS feeds to be used directly... http://mythtv.org/wiki/MythNetvision_Grabber_ . . . bber_Scripts
