[00:28:13] GrahamIRC: Music? Recordings? Video? EPG icons?
[00:28:35] GrahamIRC: it strikes me that it probably doesn't need access to any does it?
[00:28:50] GrahamIRC: just database access?
[00:29:13] bobc: wagnerrp: I'm wondering about line 89 gcc.exe: error: unrecognized option '-V' that appears to be where it goes bad with the next comment gcc.exe: fatal error: no input files

[01:45:41] GrahamIRC: if I have a myth master backend with no capture devices (dummy ones only) running as a VM what stores does it actually need access to?
[01:46:37] wagnerrp: anything you want that machine to transcode
[01:46:44] wagnerrp: plus mythweb needs file access if it is to stream
[01:46:56] GrahamIRC: Music? Recordings? Video? EPG icons? Cos it strikes me that it probably doesn't need access to any does it? Just database access?
[01:47:01] wagnerrp: plus the HLS stuff may need file access, not sure about that one
[01:47:05] GrahamIRC: ah mythweb, yes
[01:47:11] GrahamIRC: HLS?
[01:47:23] wagnerrp: http live streaming
[01:47:27] GrahamIRC: ok
[01:47:49] Nasha: Hello all, quick question: Can anyone tell me what script is called when the sleep-timer reaches 0 on MythFrontend?
[01:48:02] GrahamIRC: but without mythweb, just database?
[01:48:20] Jordack (Jordack!Jordack@c-71-238-174-148.hsd1.mi.comcast.net) has quit ()
[01:48:43] Nasha: Database and any media i believe
[01:48:56] wagnerrp: Nasha: the only sleep timer in mythfrontend is to exit playback/livetv
[01:49:24] Nasha: Yes, i want to modify it so it turns my tv off :)
[01:50:03] wagnerrp: i do not believe that triggers anything
[01:50:24] Nasha: Damn, i thought it might be wishful thinking
[01:50:33] wagnerrp: feel free to look into the System Event mechanism
[01:50:44] wagnerrp: and have it fire off something when that explires
[01:51:03] wagnerrp: youre likely looking at no more than a couple lines
[01:51:30] kmcorbett (kmcorbett!~kmcorbett@173-9-35-41-NewEngland.hfc.comcastbusiness.net) has joined #mythtv-users
[01:52:06] Nasha: By system event mechanism, do you mean the system event command editor in FE setup?
[01:52:29] wagnerrp: correct
[01:52:39] Nasha: Theres no event in there for sleep
[01:52:47] wagnerrp: i know
[01:52:58] wagnerrp: im saying youre probably looking at a couple lines of code in the right place to add one
[01:53:12] Nasha: Gotchya!

[01:53:50] Nasha: I shall continue on my search
[01:54:56] Nasha: While i have you... Could you think of any reason why, aftwer editiing ~/.mythtv/lircrc and rebooting, the changes arent recognised in myth?
[01:55:15] wagnerrp: whats the name of that option in the UI?
[01:55:50] Nasha: Im not following....?
[01:55:58] wagnerrp: the only two reasons ~/.mythtv/lircrc would be ignored is youre either not using lirc, and your remote is instead sending X events
[01:56:19] wagnerrp: or whatever starts mythfrontend is redirecting the config directory somewhere other than ~/.mythtv/
[01:56:23] wagnerrp: the sleep thing
[01:56:24] Nasha: Both of which are not the cause. Its very odd
[01:56:28] wagnerrp: what is it specifically called
[01:57:57] NashaK (NashaK!cbab4331@gateway/web/freenode/ip.203.171.67.49) has joined #mythtv-users
[01:58:01] GrahamIRC: some remotes appear as HID devices (keyboard and mouse in the case of the speedlink I have), used to be the case that you needed a certain config to get them to play with lirc
[01:58:21] NashaK: Sorry about that, not sure what happened to my other nick
[01:58:39] NashaK: Ok, neither of wagners suggestions are the cause
[01:58:47] NashaK: Ive been using my remote fine for months
[01:58:59] NashaK: I decided to change a few things, and now the changes arent recognised. Its very odd

[02:09:53] wagnerrp: https://github.com/MythTV/mythtv/blob/master/ . . . ay.cpp#L8435
[02:09:54] NashaK: seems my remote issue is irexec related
[02:10:38] wagnerrp: in that function, add a gCoreContext->SendSystemEvent("SOME_STRING_OF_YOUR_CHOOSING")
[02:11:40] NashaK: manually start irexec and all commands work :/
[02:11:56] wagnerrp: irexec makes mythtv IR work?
[02:12:00] NashaK: Very interesting wagnerrp
[02:12:02] wagnerrp: that makes absolutely zero sense
[02:12:17] NashaK: No, the commands that are failing call irexec
[02:12:43] wagnerrp: nothing calls irexec
[02:13:01] NashaK: My remote config does
[02:13:08] wagnerrp: irexec runs, and calls other executables on IR input
[02:13:24] NashaK: well yes, ok
[02:13:31] wagnerrp: do you mean irsend?
[02:13:42] NashaK: irsend works fine
[02:13:52] NashaK: irexec is not starting at boot, that is the issue
[02:14:21] NashaK: if i manually launch it, everything works as expected
[02:16:03] NashaK: Which is very odd.... Something in updates last night must have caused it to break
[02:16:26] NashaK: And its only a coincidence that i was playing with remote config today and it wasnt working

[07:12:55] Beirdo: maybe :)
[07:13:15] Beirdo: whazzup?
[07:13:45] wagnerrp: im trying to whip together a script to split 2-episode recordings
[07:13:51] wagnerrp: like fox has been doing with alcatraz
[07:14:04] wagnerrp: im using the bookmark as a split point currently
[07:14:25] wagnerrp: but i intend to expand it with a new type of marker in the future, and do a full cutlist application in one shot
[07:14:34] Beirdo: heh
[07:14:34] wagnerrp: anyway... right now, im just having issues with mythtranscode
[07:14:43] Beirdo: there's a big surprise :)
[07:14:55] Beirdo: it's a royal PITA on a good day
[07:15:04] Beirdo: what's its damage today?
[07:15:05] wagnerrp: heres the command im running... http://pastebin.com/QgXHVUL2
[07:15:32] wagnerrp: its reading the file, its eating up a small bit of CPU, it makes periodic logs to the logfile
[07:15:44] wagnerrp: everything _looks_ normal
[07:15:57] wagnerrp: its just not writing anything to --outfile, or anywhere else for that matter
[07:16:16] Beirdo: well, it won't until it gets past the area you said to cut out
[07:16:28] wagnerrp: i told it to invert that
[07:16:37] wagnerrp: which should mean i want that section, right?
[07:16:51] Beirdo: ummm, perhaps
[07:17:00] wagnerrp: oh, shit
[07:17:02] Beirdo: not sure if invert has ever been tested
[07:17:02] wagnerrp: i just fixed that
[07:17:06] wagnerrp: and im running an old version
[07:17:10] Beirdo: hahah
[07:17:10] wagnerrp: .....
[07:17:13] Beirdo: ooops
[07:17:43] Beirdo: that's a wee bit embarrassing.
[07:17:57] wagnerrp: seriously... 1c2ce6a08
[07:18:18] Beirdo: yeah, I remember seeing one about inverting the cuts
[07:18:28] wagnerrp: i was just skimming through the code for independent reasons, realized it was broken, so i fixed it
[07:18:35] wagnerrp: i completely blanked on that
[07:18:50] Beirdo: nice catch too
[07:19:02] Beirdo: and now you just proved it was borked :)
[07:20:09] wagnerrp: well thanks... detailing your stupid actions to someone else always seems to help you realize theyre stupid on your own
[07:20:37] Beirdo: hehehe
[07:20:51] Beirdo: it does seem to have that affect
[07:20:59] wagnerrp: i dont know why it is, but its invariably the case
[07:21:36] Beirdo: ugh. someone is being encouraged to put in a bug agains 0.24 mythtranscode mpeg2...
[07:21:42] clever: helps make you explain it in simple terms and think about it from another viewpoint
[07:21:46] Beirdo: that will be closed won't fix
[07:22:17] Beirdo: that whole chunk of code has been reworked, and unless someone ELSE wants to fix the bug.....
[07:23:50] wagnerrp: Beirdo: its actually worse than you think
[07:24:02] wagnerrp: since the previous error would convert the boolean to a string, and parse that list
[07:24:07] wagnerrp: it would discard everything as being invalid
[07:24:17] wagnerrp: and cut out the segment from 0 to 999999999
[07:24:25] Beirdo: gah!
[07:24:32] Beirdo: that's lame :)
[07:24:46] wagnerrp: it wasnt waiting until 221618 to start outputting
[07:24:52] wagnerrp: it was waiting until 999999999
[07:24:59] Beirdo: heheh. wow
[07:25:25] wagnerrp: so that would be like... three months?

[07:31:07] wagnerrp: i forgot to close that didnt i...
[07:31:18] wagnerrp: yep
[07:31:39] kenni: I'm trying to figure out how the change in e1d3ac854 (the addition of some intelligence) gets triggered?
[07:32:30] kenni: should it print out the long help text for the failed option?
[07:32:48] wagnerrp: lets say you ran ... mythfilldatabase --with-some-gibberish
[07:32:57] wagnerrp: its supposed to print out the full generic help text
[07:33:18] wagnerrp: if instead you ran ... mythfilldatabase --help dd-grab-all --with-some-gibberish
[07:33:31] wagnerrp: it would still error, but it would print the detailed help for --dd-grab-all
[07:34:35] kenni: Hmm, that was what I though, but it doesn't do it here...hmm

[07:44:56] wagnerrp: whoops, wrong channel
[07:45:02] wagnerrp: kenni: see response in #mythtv
[07:45:42] wagnerrp: anyway, i dont know any way for the parser to realize the user wanted to apply 'xxx' to the --file option
[07:46:14] wagnerrp: since if it did, that would break the behavior of someone legitimately wanting to supply an argument after a boolean
[07:46:38] [R]: you just need to add the mindreader plugin
[07:46:57] wagnerrp: it would provide a more descriptive error in that situation, at the expense of breaking the parser in other situations
[07:48:44] kenni: ok, unfortunately I'll have to go now, I'll follow up tonight :)
[07:49:00] wagnerrp: kenni: for example, making that produce a meaningful error would break the use of ... mythavtest --windowed somefile.mpg
[07:49:08] wagnerrp: somefile.mpg wouldnt get cycled back through
[07:49:18] wagnerrp: and would instead report an error that --windowed did not accept arguments
[07:57:30] wagnerrp: Beirdo: well its still not happy about something
[07:57:42] wagnerrp: i wonder if its having problems with that first cut being from 0–0

[16:08:26] ben1066: how "expensive" is it to run just the scheduler to record then?
[16:09:37] wagnerrp: are you the C7 guy?
[16:09:45] ben1066: yea
[16:09:54] ben1066: its just what I had for free :P
[16:10:16] wagnerrp: the scheduler really isnt that "expensive"
[16:10:42] ben1066: Ram isnt a worry since I have 2gb, and from what ive read only 512 is needed
[16:10:47] wagnerrp: on my system, with a few dozen channels, several dozen rules, two weeks of guide data, and several thousand old recordings to run through for duplicate matching
[16:11:01] wagnerrp: scheduler runs only take some 2–3 seconds on average
[16:11:23] ben1066: well, i dont plan on having thousands....or a few dozen cahnnels
[16:11:23] ben1066: :p
[16:11:31] ben1066: Im in teh UK, most tv sucks
[16:11:41] wagnerrp: on the other hand, thats a 3.3GHz Phenom II, with several GB of DDR3
[16:12:04] ben1066: Yea, Im trying..whatever I use, to keep it mostly passive
[16:12:07] wagnerrp: and likely 10–15x the single threaded performance of an old C7
[16:12:25] ben1066: I think when I upgrade itll be a sandy bridge celeron dual core ht, 8gb ddr3
[16:12:28] wagnerrp: 20–30 second scheduler runs arent a significant issue
[16:12:43] wagnerrp: they get to be a problem once they hit around a minute
[16:12:53] ben1066: so if yours is 10x the performance...then theoretically, I can do what you can :P
[16:12:59] ben1066: its just pushing it a bit
[16:13:07] wagnerrp: and with only a few channels to worry about, and no backlog of old recordings to match against, you shouldnt be in any trouble
[16:13:17] ben1066: cool :d

[16:18:33] wagnerrp: right, which is more or less meaningless

[16:19:23] wagnerrp: thats... not.. pretty near
[16:19:40] wagnerrp: thats out in the boonies

[16:21:04] wagnerrp: and remember, 10x the distance means 1/100th the power level

[16:23:56] wagnerrp: its cycling your USB controller, and reloading all the devices
[16:24:14] adam_: how do I go about fixing that
[16:24:26] adam_: ive been reading all day and cannot seem to find a solution
[16:24:26] wagnerrp: youll need to write up a UDEV rule to produce a static name for that device
[16:24:55] wagnerrp: something to specifically identify it, rather than a numbered event node
[16:24:59] adam_: oh ok
[16:25:05] adam_: il go look that up then
[16:25:06] adam_: thanks
[16:25:43] wagnerrp: adam_: your distro may actually have something set up for that purpose already
[16:25:59] wagnerrp: are there any folders in /dev/input?
[16:26:13] wagnerrp: perhaps 'by-path' or 'by-id'?
[16:26:34] adam_: there is by-path
[16:26:36] adam_: and events 0–7
[16:26:43] adam_: or events 0–8 rather
[16:27:11] wagnerrp: the contents of by-path will be symlinks to those events for particular devices
[16:27:16] wagnerrp: based off their placement on the USB tree
[16:27:38] adam_: by-path containts two things
[16:27:48] wagnerrp: see which one corresponds to your IR receiver
[16:28:08] wagnerrp: standby a couple times, and see if that symlink name remains the same
[16:28:22] wagnerrp: if youre lucky, the USB tree should remain the same
[16:28:30] wagnerrp: in which case you point lircd at that symlink
[16:28:49] wagnerrp: and restart lircd when you come out of standby, to update it against the new target of that symlink
[16:30:16] wagnerrp: if not, let me know and i can dig through my rules to figure out what is producing this on my system... http://pastebin.com/LruV5mC2

[16:31:08] adam_: for some reason
[16:31:14] ben1066: wagnerrp: if I have a 2.5ghz dual core ht celeron, am I gonna hit any limitations?
[16:31:32] ben1066: sandy bridge generation
[16:31:34] wagnerrp: they make celerons with hyperthreading?
[16:31:44] ben1066: they do indeed
[16:31:48] wagnerrp: i thought that was reserved for i5s and i7s
[16:31:53] wagnerrp: even the i3s dont do HT
[16:31:59] ben1066: http://www.dabs.com/products/intel-celeron-g5 . . . mb-7P81.html
[16:32:21] ben1066: Wait wrong one
[16:32:22] ben1066: :p
[16:33:07] wagnerrp: yeah, G530 doesnt do HT
[16:33:18] ben1066: I did see a pentium or celeron that did...
[16:33:21] wagnerrp: no matter, for most workloads, HT really doesnt help much
[16:33:44] ben1066: or it may have been the atom...
[16:33:52] wagnerrp: anyway, that would make a nice mythtv frontend/backend
[16:34:02] ben1066: Hmm, seems like a good plan then :p
[16:34:19] wagnerrp: capable of playing back just about anything besides perhaps the highest bitrate bluray content
[16:34:30] ben1066: what on the integrated graphics?
[16:34:42] wagnerrp: chances are that would choke somewhere around 30–35Mbps H264
[16:34:55] ben1066: depending on the case and mobo I use
[16:35:01] adam_: wagnerrp it keeps creatiing an extra event
[16:35:03] ben1066: I could add a dedicated GPU
[16:35:05] wagnerrp: mythtv 0.25 will support VAAPI for use on the integrated graphics
[16:35:21] wagnerrp: but nvidia/vdpau is preferred
[16:35:22] adam_: but the by-path doesnt change
[16:35:41] ben1066: whats a good gpu to use?

[16:37:01] wagnerrp: decent enough, and not bad of a price
[16:37:27] wagnerrp: although depending on where this will be placed in relation to your tv, a fanless version may be preferable
[16:37:37] ben1066: thats what I was thinking
[16:37:44] ben1066: Im trying to keep fans to a minimum
[16:37:53] ben1066: Im going to need one for anything above an atom cpu
[16:38:13] ben1066: so maybe itll be a 210 :P
[16:38:17] wagnerrp: big 120mm CPU fans are generally quiet, but those tiny little graphics fans can get loud and annoying
[16:38:36] ben1066: my gtx 560 ti in my main pc makes a lot of noise :P
[16:38:47] ben1066: its the asus direct cu2 version, has two massive fans

[16:39:10] ben1066: yay fanless
[16:39:27] wagnerrp: ive got a 9800GTX running fanless in my desktop currently
[16:39:35] wagnerrp: with a big honking heatsink strapped to it
[16:39:43] wagnerrp: after the original fan died
[16:39:44] ertyu-m: the bearings tend to be so flimsy on those tiny fans that just touching the fan can destroy the bearing
[16:39:55] ben1066: yea mine has 120mm fans
[16:40:22] wagnerrp: ive got a 6800GS with a dead fan, and a 6600GT with a dead fan, and a R9800Pro with a dead fan, and...
[16:40:42] wagnerrp: to be honest, i dont upgrade my video cards for performance, i upgrade them when the fan dies
[16:40:55] ben1066: i upgrade mine when they decide to blow up
[16:41:00] ben1066: the caps blew on my last one
[16:41:01] ben1066: :p
[16:41:03] wagnerrp: blown caps?

[16:41:46] wagnerrp: adam_: no clue
[16:42:34] wagnerrp: adam_: one of the 'lsusb' options will tell you what driver is loaded for a USB device
[16:42:50] wagnerrp: ben1066: i actually went through my old parts bin a couple days back
[16:43:20] ben1066: eh?
[16:43:31] wagnerrp: and found a 6200LE from an old mythfrontend with eight of eight caps all blown

[16:46:08] ben1066: adn why is that better?
[16:46:20] sphery: BobLfoot: no
[16:46:28] wagnerrp: because USB is designed for low speed peripherals
[16:46:50] sphery: BobLfoot: but a better description of what you mean might allow me to help you fix your config
[16:46:51] wagnerrp: not high speed devices with explicit time and buffering constraints
[16:47:28] BobLfoot: sphery: I see nothing in the mailing lists or google about this since 2010, yet my Centos Mythbox screwed this up last night.
[16:47:42] sphery: how so
[16:48:27] BobLfoot: sphery: I use broadcast EIT info and several – I won't say all cause I ahven't checked all – listings are off by 1 hour.
[16:48:58] sphery: ah, with EIT, I can imagine having problems, since it's totally up to the network to do the right thing
[16:49:03] sphery: I assumed you were using Schedules Direct
[16:49:13] BobLfoot: sphery: 11:00 O'clock news shows at 10. etc.
[16:49:23] sphery: FWIW, with Schedules Direct, you shouldn't have any problems.
[16:49:32] wagnerrp: all bets are off when using garbage data
[16:49:40] BobLfoot: sphery: So I am at network mercy and the same 3 day wait I had in October for stuff to settler out.
[16:49:45] sphery: yep
[16:49:48] wagnerrp: its entirely possible, and not unlikely, your broadcaster fu--ed up
[16:49:56] wagnerrp: and is sending you data at the wrong offset
[16:50:01] sphery: or, you could sign up for a 7-day free trial of Schedules Direct and take matters into your own hands

[16:50:33] BobLfoot: wagnerrp: all three major networks — and their on air stuff when I look thru the tv at it is spot on. Don't think so.
[16:50:50] sphery: and it will give you 2 weeks of high-quality data with good episode identification, allowing for better duplicate matching--even across 5+ years of use
[16:51:04] BobLfoot: Wish I knew enough to flush the current data and fouce a reload. well time to RTFM before the next "Fall back"
[16:51:12] sphery: BobLfoot: if they're sending good data, now, you need to ^^^
[16:51:38] wagnerrp: BobLfoot: well then perhaps mythtv just has poor behavior with respect to EIT when dealing with DST changes
[16:51:40] sphery: stop all mythtv units, truncate table program; , then restart and wait
[16:51:44] wagnerrp: because no one actually uses it
[16:51:46] BobLfoot: sphery: can you suggest what RTFM to learn howto "force a relaod"
[16:52:11] wagnerrp: truncate table program; ?
[16:52:33] BobLfoot: wagnerrp: thats an mysql command iirc
[16:52:52] wagnerrp: there is no mechanism in mythtv to 'flush the data'
[16:53:03] wagnerrp: besides deleting the channels
[16:54:07] ben1066: wagnerrp: do I need dedicated gfx or will the integrated graphics be enough
[16:54:17] ben1066: that seems to be the defining factor between matx and mitc
[16:54:56] wagnerrp: nvidia graphics are recommended, but the current integrated intel stuff should be enough
[16:55:06] sphery: I just don't get why someone would choose a luxury DVR system (an expensive one) and then choose to not pay $25/yr (~$0.07/day) and hobble along with limited amounts of data that's not very useful for duplicate detection (especially over the long term or across channels)
[16:55:18] ben1066: wagnerrp: I can get away with smaller and cheaper that way, that's all :p
[16:57:09] ben1066: £260 seems to be about what its gonna cost...
[16:57:11] sphery: wagnerrp: have you set up an OpenGL renderer profile (or profile group)? What kind of performance do you see with it? (And can you do timestretch?)
[16:58:04] sphery: (I'd still like to add some OpenGL profile groups by default, but haven't found anyone willing to share ones that they've made work on their systems... And since I'm getting terrible performance out of them, I figure someone else should come up with the profiles.)
[17:04:46] BobLfoot: sphery: some of us are just cheap scots and do it all for free {save our labor and contributons to community} or not at all :0

[17:08:23] sphery: but, anyway, if you're happy wasting your time on issues like this or on fixing problems with duplicate detection or missing recordings due to limited data or whatever, I suppose it works for you
[17:09:33] sphery: It just seems to me to be the wrong place to try to cut costs
[17:12:07] BobLfoot: sphery: mythtv has been such an improvement over the old VHS recorder that the little bit of hassle is minor, but you're right the $25 SD subscription would be a nice birthday present for the wife to give me.
[17:12:41] sphery: I guess, though, it's a more reasonable choice for an OTA user to make than for a person who has a $100/mo cable TV subscription (some of whom still think they should be able to use EIT)
[17:13:33] wagnerrp: sphery: well... cable tv doesnt have EIT anyway
[17:13:35] wagnerrp: so its moot
[17:13:43] sphery: right
[17:13:56] sphery: but lots come in here complaining when it doesn't work for them with their cable subs
[17:14:45] wagnerrp: cant help ignorance
[17:15:21] sphery: true, but the arguing and complaining when they find out the data isn't there...
[17:15:27] BobLfoot: I have 4 OTA tuners and 2 tuners hooked to Satellite Boxes. Haven't hooked the infrared from PC to Sat yet though
[17:18:07] BobLfoot: sphery: so which updates faster; SD or EIT when local station bumps the show 30 minutes cause the ball game ran into OT.

[17:42:43] sphery: pretty sure you don't get much more than channel/start time/end time/title/subtitle/description
[17:43:16] wagnerrp: BobLfoot: nearly anyone doing scheduled recordings is going to have a DVR with a subscription guide service
[17:43:23] sphery: though that means you won't have any garbage data in people :)
[17:43:34] wagnerrp: and few TVs over here actually provide much in the way of an EPG to make use of broadcast EIT data
[17:43:48] BobLfoot: gotta say I really like the user job script feature – I post process most shows down to a 0.5gb per hr resolution and carry on thumb drive to watch from laptop.
[17:43:55] wagnerrp: so most TV stations dont bother providing any more than the bare minimum required by the FCC
[17:43:58] sphery: and many of those that do use the TV guide encrypted data
[17:44:22] sphery: where the TV manufacturer pays Gemstar/TV guide for the right to include their decoder in the TV set
[17:44:26] wagnerrp: 0.5gb per hour... so youre cutting this stuff down to 720x480?
[17:44:56] wagnerrp: even at 480p and h264, thats a bit low

[17:51:47] sphery: BobLfoot: hehe, I'm surprised you were able to fit XP in 30GB... but if you have a 30GB HDD, I'm guessing the cutting is going to be necessary just because a laptop of that vintage likely couldn't handle high-bitrate, high-definition TV
[17:51:53] Slappy: the transcoded ones, whether transcoded in linux or win7 sometimes stop at 5:00

[17:54:32] BobLfoot: don't recall why i chose that wagnerrp — probably saw it on some goggle howto and never ventured to try anything else, cxause it worked.
[17:55:35] BobLfoot: wagnerrp: you misunderstand vlc plays the ffmpeg recoded stuff ; mythfrontend plays the original recordings unadulterated from the master backend over lan.
[17:56:27] BobLfoot: and will sometimes miss-sync , but it's not State o' art hardware so beggars can't bbe picky.
[17:56:45] wagnerrp: no, im saying a 1.4GHz P4 will not play HD MPEG2 content without support from XvMC
[17:56:58] wagnerrp: a 1.4GHz P4 is roughly as capable as my 1GHz P3 laptop
[17:57:03] sphery: BobLfoot: hehe, for a minute, I /though/ maybe my listings (or, scheduler, actually) got confused by the time change since this morning my system recorded a show called, "Missing," with description, "The cases of 22 missing children and two missing adults; Internet safety; emergency contacts, safety skills and the buddy system; waiting for the school bus; becoming lost in a store." --a show I never would have chosen to record

[18:02:17] wagnerrp: putting a 1.4GHz P-M probably closer to a 2.0GHz P4

[18:02:54] BobLfoot: I jsut upgraded the memory from 512 to 2.0 — that made a diff
[18:04:43] metaron: Hi, does anyone out there think they might be able to help me debug an h264 playback problem with 0.24.2?
[18:05:08] wagnerrp: DVB recording? or did you encode this yourself?
[18:05:38] wagnerrp: or from something like an HDPVR or digital camcorder?
[18:05:52] metaron: it's a file I got from my brother – plays fine in mplayer – but is shocking in the internal player
[18:05:59] BobLfoot: wagnerrp: sphery — thanks again – I'll cut my noise so you can help others
[18:06:02] ben1066: wagnerrp: why is it being removed?
[18:06:14] wagnerrp: ben1066: XvMC?
[18:06:18] ben1066: yea?
[18:06:25] wagnerrp: because it sucks balls
[18:06:37] metaron: nope Xv, (savage chipset) on a celeron 1Ghz
[18:06:38] wagnerrp: and no hardware has been released that has supported it in several years
[18:07:18] wagnerrp: nvidia dropped support completely like three years ago
[18:07:29] wagnerrp: intel support is largely unmaintained, if it still exists
[18:07:37] wagnerrp: ATI never supported it in the first place
[18:09:43] wagnerrp: but it only offered limited offload, and only for mpeg2, is completely unnecessary on any mainstream CPU from the last 5–6 years, and has some nasty implications with regards to OSDs
[18:11:36] metaron: the file(s) seemed to play fine when I did the original installation with 0.24.1 (gentoo) but since the upgrade to 0.24.2 I only seem to get 60% cpu usage and playback just isn't happening.
[18:12:52] sphery: but, hey, XvMC was cool stuff in 2000
[18:13:32] sphery: metaron: mythfrontend Utilities/Setup|
[18:13:50] sphery: Setup|TV Settings, 3rd screen.. check your Playback Profile group--you want Slim
[18:14:19] ben1066: anyone here use a usb dvbt stick?
[18:14:29] sphery: though a celeron 1GHz with Savage graphics is unlikely to be uesful for more than very low bitrate H.264

[18:15:18] Jester86: I found a wifi adapter that works well enough to stream mythtv wirelessly =)
[18:16:03] wagnerrp: a single system isnt really a problem
[18:16:07] wagnerrp: multiple systems are
[18:16:17] wagnerrp: and you still have network dropouts that mythtv is not designed to handle well
[18:16:29] Jester86: that'd be dependent on the TX source wouldn't it?

[18:16:51] wagnerrp: what?
[18:16:54] Jester86: the router..
[18:17:07] Jester86: if you had multiple FEs using wireless
[18:17:16] ben1066: standard def dvbt is mpeg2 right?
[18:17:30] Jester86: or would more network traffic in the air period would cause problems?
[18:17:32] wagnerrp: well it would depend on whether you were doing B, G, or N
[18:17:45] Jester86: n
[18:17:48] wagnerrp: 802.11 is inherently broadcast
[18:17:58] wagnerrp: however much bandwidth that router has, is shared among all clients
[18:18:21] wagnerrp: and that 300Mbps, or 450Mbps, or even 600Mbps that router may be rated for is just the signalling rate
[18:18:30] wagnerrp: the actually data rate is far less
[18:18:34] wagnerrp: often less than half that
[18:18:35] Jester86: yeah

[18:18:58] wagnerrp: again, with periodic dropouts calling stalls in playback
[18:19:06] wagnerrp: ben1066: some is MPEG2, some is H264
[18:19:09] Jester86: yeah this laptop is only pulling 78mbs on the 2 channel usb adapter and ~30mbs on the integrated adapter
[18:19:09] metaron: sphery: I set it to cpu++ at about the time of the upgrade, I've now set it to slim. Top shows about 15% cpu usage against mythtv, but playback only shows about one fame every second
[18:19:09] wagnerrp: depends on the broadcaster
[18:19:44] Jester86: yeah
[18:19:45] ben1066: Uses DVB-T/MPEG-2 for SD and DVB-T2/H.264/MPEG-4 for HD transmissions.
[18:19:53] ben1066: according to wikipedia :P
[18:19:58] ben1066: thats uk specific mind
[18:19:58] Jester86: I have a Dlinks Gaming router.. 3 channel
[18:20:17] ** awalls jams the nearby network clients when using the microwave oven **
[18:20:27] ben1066: see its odd, my tv supports h264/mpeg4 for dvbt2 yet dlna only does avchd and mpeg2
[18:20:33] awalls: Time for a new microwave oven I guess.
[18:21:02] wagnerrp: awalls: nah, time for 5GHz gear

[18:22:31] ben1066: CAT6 isn't that needed yet...
[18:22:55] Jester86: yeah i know. I'm wondering if I should run it when i buy a house this summer

[18:23:14] awalls: Yes.
[18:23:16] Jester86: not sure it'll still be what you need by the time you need something better than 53
[18:23:17] wagnerrp: i would suggest running cat7
[18:23:17] ** BobLfoot runs gigabit on cat5 with no issues .... yet. small lan **
[18:23:19] Jester86: 5e*

[18:24:47] wagnerrp: run enough for any foreseeable future possibility
[18:25:04] Jester86: yeah
[18:25:08] wagnerrp: i.e. dont just run one ETH line to a jack, run several
[18:25:10] awalls: As a general rule, always overprovision. Someone will find a use for the bandwidth. ;)
[18:25:14] Jester86: its determining what thay may be is the difficult part..
[18:25:18] wagnerrp: if youre not using it, you can always just leave it bare
[18:25:24] wagnerrp: or run it into an unused port on a patch panel
[18:25:57] Jester86: yeah
[18:26:20] awalls: One port in each bedroom, two ports in each family room, and living room. One or two over the kitchen counters.
[18:26:30] ben1066: id say two in all rooms...
[18:26:36] awalls: I would advise against any being run to the bathrooms. ;)
[18:26:42] BobLfoot: except when that unuse cable becomes a directional amplifying antenna for some nuisance signal wagnerrp
[18:26:54] wagnerrp: awalls: why is that?

[18:28:38] wagnerrp: sadly its a CRT, and "little boxes" capable of outputting to CRT are getting a bit rare

[18:30:06] sphery: metaron: no other ideas, sorry
[18:30:33] wagnerrp: Jester86: sure, ive got one running one of my frontends
[18:30:42] wagnerrp: im saying you cant buy NEW hardware with such outputs
[18:30:49] Jester86: ohh yeah true
[18:30:50] wagnerrp: leaving you to a cheesy scan converter
[18:30:56] metaron: sphery: thanks for the suggestion!
[18:31:02] BobLfoot: wagnerrp: look on web for rf modulator – that'll take vga to crt real easy and for under $10 USD. most video cards can do vga nowadays
[18:31:12] Jester86: wagnerrp, what are your thoughts on the raspberry pi?
[18:31:25] sphery: metaron: good luck
[18:32:27] wagnerrp: BobLfoot: an RF modulator is for modulating over VHF....
[18:32:41] wagnerrp: a scan converter converts from one baseband signaling to another
[18:33:07] wagnerrp: you would use a scan converter to run from VGA to svideo, and the a modulator to run from svideo to RF
[18:33:23] wagnerrp: youre just talking about a device that does both steps in one unit
[18:33:31] BobLfoot: wagnerrp: assumed your crt was old ntsc tv
[18:33:39] wagnerrp: sure, but it has svideo and composite inputs
[18:33:50] wagnerrp: every tv made in the last 25 years or so will have those
[18:34:08] wagnerrp: Jester86: worthless until such time as someone writes an openmax decoder for mythtv
[18:34:26] wagnerrp: Jester86: still worthless after that until such time as someone cleans up the frontend's memory consumption
[18:34:46] wagnerrp: 256MB is too small as it is to run a frontend comfortably
[18:35:06] wagnerrp: running it on the 180MB or so left after the GPU gets what it wants is going to be painful
[18:35:15] wagnerrp: its the same problem as trying to use a PS3

[19:38:43] wagnerrp: its pretty cut and dry
[19:39:14] wagnerrp: syncing boxes using a portable hard drive is a bit of a grey area
[19:39:31] wagnerrp: there are a lot of legitimate uses of such behavior
[19:39:50] wagnerrp: such as an independent system you take with you on trips
[19:40:18] wagnerrp: syncing over the internet has very few legitimate uses
[19:40:23] wizbit: aye ok
[19:41:21] wagnerrp: and most of those uses are invalidated by telling them they should have the remote hosts VPN into the local ones, and run a single shared system
[19:41:45] wagnerrp: of course there are complaints about insufficient bandwidth
[19:42:01] wagnerrp: but thats going to be less and less of an issue in the future

[19:42:25] wizbit: then that means there will be no need for mythtv :(
[19:42:38] wizbit: but i will still run it anyway
[19:42:38] wagnerrp: how so?
[19:42:54] wizbit: maybe the tv channels will let you have access to everything
[19:43:02] wizbit: select what you want to watch
[19:43:02] wagnerrp: just because you now have enough bandwidth to stream video from some VOD provider

[19:47:10] wagnerrp: yes, this is why DRM must be banned
[19:47:15] wizbit: agreed
[19:47:55] wagnerrp: it takes content control away from the content owner (you), and put it in control of the license owner (some company with an inherent motivation to make you keep paying for content you already own)
[19:48:22] wizbit: its a business model?!
[19:49:21] wagnerrp: yes, DRM is not to stop piracy, no matter what anyone may claim otherwise... it is a business model to eliminate the concept of personal ownership, and make society a perpetually paid service

[21:45:39] williammanda: when setting up rules in the firewall...I get the option of in and out
[21:45:50] wagnerrp: there is rarely any need to send data OUT of a specific port
[21:46:08] wagnerrp: typically, you send it out some available >1024 port
[21:46:22] wagnerrp: and the firewall administrator is not so anal as to prevent that
[21:46:38] wagnerrp: servers listen on a known port, in this case 6543 and 6544
[21:46:54] wagnerrp: for TCP, connection requests come in on that port
[21:47:20] wagnerrp: and the bidirectional communication is established between port 6543/6544 on the server, and that random >1024 port on the client
[21:47:50] wagnerrp: in a stateful firewall, you track the initial allowed inbound connection on the server port
[21:48:04] wagnerrp: and subsequent outbound communication through that connection is handled automatically
