[00:03:09] lwizardl: i know the card works. I had it working this morning on Win7 Ult with MCE

[00:04:27] wagnerrp: shouldnt the HVR-1600 driver be included in 2.6.38 kernel?

[00:29:59] lwizardl: i thought it was already in the released distro iso. but i can not seem to get it to work at all in linux
[00:30:27] G: hmmm crazy question, and this might another of those "we don't really do it this way" but I'm retiring my old MythTV box which uses an HDHomeRun in favour to a newly configured/built MythTV box, which has been configured to the HDHomeRun as well. I've tested the new machine quite well and everything seems fine, so I want to make the old box stop recording, but I want the old backend up for a little while longer. Is there a "no recordings" flag type thin
[00:30:46] G: i.e. I want to prevent the LiveTV and scheduled recordings to happen
[00:31:34] wagnerrp: remove all the recording rules, and remove the 'livetv' option from the menu xml
[00:32:15] G: no other way? Okay, I was afraid that may be the case :)
[00:32:28] wagnerrp: you can disable the scheduler on the command line
[00:32:34] wagnerrp: but that is really intended for debugging only
[00:32:39] wagnerrp: i dont know the implications of that
[00:33:14] G: yeah, the only other way I can think of is if I just make the tuner invisible to that machine
[00:33:32] lwizardl: wagnerrp, do you know of a working guide for properly installing and configuring the hvr-1600 card for mythtv ?
[00:33:34] G: although I was hoping that I could avoid that
[00:34:02] wagnerrp: lwizardl: should be configured like any other digital or mpeg encoder card
[00:34:20] G: wagnerrp: thanks, certainly makes sense, knew what I was attempting was a bit 'crazy' ;)
[00:35:55] lwizardl: wagnerrp, okay I have never had a working mythtv configuration. so what options I try to set must be the wrong ones
[00:41:39] wagnerrp: lwizardl: were any drivers available from your distro for the -1600?
[00:45:55] n1md4 (n1md4!~nimda@anion.cinosure.com) has quit (Ping timeout: 240 seconds)
[00:46:14] lwizardl: I would hope so but out of all the guides I have tried in the past they all seem to have the same "make" process
[00:47:04] lwizardl: i must have attempted to get a working myth setup about 30 times now
[00:49:04] wagnerrp: no, you should not have to make anything
[00:49:20] wagnerrp: you should plug your card in, boot your computer, and the proper drivers should load automatically
[00:49:29] wagnerrp: you should see a /dev/video0 and a /dev/dvb/adapter0/
[00:50:09] lwizardl: other then inside of myth, is there a way to test those
[00:51:00] wagnerrp: do they exist?
[00:51:08] lwizardl: i think it said video0 video24 video32
[00:51:28] wagnerrp: you have that input connected to analog cable?
[00:51:31] n1md4 (n1md4!~nimda@anion.cinosure.com) has joined #mythtv-users
[00:52:02] lwizardl: and i do see a directory for /dev/dvb/adapter0 which has demux0 dvr0 frontend0 in it
[00:52:06] lwizardl: yes
[00:52:26] lwizardl: just straight coaxial.
[00:52:41] wagnerrp: add a "MPEG-2 Encoder" card, and it should detect your /dev/video0
[00:53:01] wagnerrp: add a "DTV DVB" card, and it should detect your /dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend0
[00:53:13] lwizardl: i have a digital cable box from comcast also but i was looking at using the firewire for that after i find out if my system works or not
[00:53:28] wagnerrp: no, you do not want to use firewire for anything
[00:53:33] lwizardl: ok i'll load myth setup. i'm on my myth box right now
[00:54:38] lwizardl: i have the IVTV MPEG-2 encoder card set for /dev/video0
[00:54:50] lwizardl: says hvr-160 [cx18]
[00:55:04] wagnerrp: ok
[00:56:16] lwizardl: and as DVB DTV CARD V3.X
[00:56:50] lwizardl: /dev/dvb/adapter0/front0 comes up Samsung S5H1409 WAM / Subtype ATSC
[00:58:27] lwizardl: okay as the DVB it is finding something. so far all encrypted tho
[00:58:52] wagnerrp: you should expect everything but the local broadcast channels to be encrypted
[00:58:58] lwizardl: yeah
[01:02:01] lwizardl: this is the longest it has ever taken to scan
[01:02:10] lwizardl: so maybe that is a good thing
[01:02:32] wagnerrp: should expect it to take several minutes for a full digital scan
[01:09:27] dekarl1 (dekarl1!~dekarl@p4FCEFA0A.dip.t-dialin.net) has joined #mythtv-users
[01:10:08] lwizardl: nope just static again
[01:10:22] wagnerrp: there is no such thing as static on digital channels
[01:10:29] wagnerrp: its not possible

[01:11:04] lwizardl: it looks like on old sd tvs when you have no source its the static "ant race" image
[01:11:35] wagnerrp: does your local comcast franchise even do analog cable any longer?
[01:11:46] wagnerrp: most of them have long since gone to those miniboxes, and dropped analog service
[01:12:00] lwizardl: when i had windows mce this morning it found 22 channels
[01:12:17] lwizardl: my cablebox is rng150
[01:12:42] wagnerrp: i wouldnt expect MCE to find anything
[01:12:57] wagnerrp: i would expect it to operate exactly like mythtv and provide you a list of analog channels for your service
[01:13:04] wagnerrp: you shouldnt be scanning analog
[01:13:12] lwizardl: most was doubles but it found them
[01:17:28] lwizardl: 17.1 17.2 13.1 13.2 8.1 3.1 209.3 213.1 203.1 208.2 208.1 35.1 35.2 35.3 41.1 41.2 was the only ones that actually seemed to work
[01:17:39] wagnerrp: those are all digital, nothing analog
[01:17:53] lwizardl: yeah
[01:21:05] lwizardl: just what windows found.
[01:22:45] lwizardl: i think there was others also just not that i can remember exact channels

[14:07:24] jarle: I seem to have run into this bug: http://code.mythtv.org/trac/ticket/8028 Why is it that I can record a channel, and play back the recording, but not watch live-tv???
[14:07:41] jarle: (for the specific channel)
[14:10:51] shortbus: anyone here have any "current" recomendations for transcoding shows to be used with dnla streaming to a samsung tv (7550) via the built in service of mythtv backend. I am trying not to use the frontend at all, but instead use the playback portion of the dlna streaming to the tv and setup mythweb to use for scheduling via laptop, phone, tablet, or even tv browser.
[14:11:31] shortbus: I have been reading documentation on how to auto transcode, but most of it is either an old hacked up scirpt, or uses the frontend
[14:13:20] shortbus: My end goal would be to replace the nuv container as the main file in the database with something that is friendly with the dlna devices i have on my network, mainly the samsung tv, but also possibly some of the other devices like the ps3
[14:14:43] shortbus: I do not require auto removal of the commercials so it should be as easy as calling mythtranscode on a specific file and then replacing the file name with the new file in the database correct?
[14:15:00] shortbus: is there a "more friendly" way of doing this?

[14:17:44] shortbus: i saw a script somewhere for moving nuv to mkv

[14:32:23] jarle: shortbus: I have (hardly) used it myself, so I'm not the right person to guide you through this project.
[14:32:37] shortbus: jarle: I am currently reading http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Nuvexport
[14:32:43] shortbus: heh
[14:33:32] shortbus: well... I have always used a frontend myself, but in an effort to consolidate and downsize the number of needed remotes I am trying to setup dlna playback that can use just the one remote
[14:33:36] shortbus: WAF
[14:33:50] shortbus: also KAF (kid acceptablity factor)
[14:33:55] shortbus: heh
[14:34:22] shortbus: the fact that they do not even need a remote and can just use their hand to control the tv helps too
[14:36:00] shortbus: this is the tv i just bought about 3 months ago... http://www.samsung.com/us/video/tvs/UN55ES7550FXZA
[14:36:09] shortbus: the thing is pretty darn cool
[14:36:21] shortbus: it even has an "upgrade" path
[14:36:23] shortbus: heh
[14:37:32] shortbus: it will play back mkv containers at full 1080p so i was thinking to try using that... but then the ps3 (or anything else) may not be able to play it back
[14:38:52] shortbus: and I really do not care about getting rid of commercials, reducing file size, or anything other than making it something the tv (and possibly other devices) can play back
[14:41:06] jarle: shortbus: only problem is that transcoding will use a lot of time/CPU, so if you record a lot the machine will be quite busy...
[14:41:44] shortbus: yea
[14:42:04] shortbus: i don't record but about 5 shows a week most on different days
[14:43:01] AndyCap: remultiplexing is cheaper than re-encoding though if what's inside the container is usable for both
[14:43:25] shortbus: remultiplexing? thats a new term to me
[14:43:49] shortbus: AndyCap: thanks for that... i will have to research that
[14:44:20] shortbus: is this what you mean "ffmpeg -i <filename> -acodec copy -vcodec copy <tmpfilename>"
[14:44:26] shortbus: ie... remux
[14:44:34] AndyCap: close enough
[14:44:56] shortbus: as per the http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Mythtranscode at the bottom of the page
[14:45:04] shortbus: ;-)
[14:45:53] shortbus: is there an easy way to maybe have mythtranscode do that and change the name in the correct place in the db to point to the new file?
[14:46:02] ** shortbus has his wishing hat on **
[14:48:37] shortbus: ie... mythtranscode --infile /MythTV/tv/1856_20060425200000.mpg --mpeg2 --passthrough --outfile /MythTV/tv/1856_20060425200000.mpeg2
[14:49:11] shortbus: would that change the name in the db to point to the new mpeg2 file instead of the original mpg file?
[14:51:14] shortbus: aah... just looked and saw tht --passthrough is borken

[18:32:32] shortbus: raise your arm and put a flat palm to the camera
[18:32:42] shortbus: usually thats the only thing that will trigger it
[18:32:48] wagnerrp: takes too long, takes too much effort
[18:32:54] shortbus: it also has speech recognition
[18:33:03] shortbus: hello tv power off
[18:33:12] shortbus: and it shuts down
[18:33:30] wagnerrp: im not going to greet my tv as a trigger to enable speech recognition
[18:33:49] shortbus: i think you can change it
[18:33:54] shortbus: but it works well for us
[18:34:05] shortbus: words my 2 year old can say
[18:34:17] wagnerrp: if you want to do speech recognition, it needs to be natural language, and always on, such that it can determine through context whether the command was directed at the tv, or just normal speech
[18:34:39] wagnerrp: and we dont have anywhere near the processing capability to do that yet
[18:34:49] shortbus: it is always on, and again i am amazed at how well it does.
[18:35:18] shortbus: it has never triggered accidentally, mainly because no one ever says "hello tv"
[18:35:37] wagnerrp: right, because it requires the command trigger before it engages
[18:35:51] shortbus: the biggest problem with speech recognition is when there is a lot of noise around and it can not filter out everything to hear the "hello tv"
[18:35:57] shortbus: right
[18:36:04] wagnerrp: thats no good
[18:36:22] shortbus: but if you have the "special" remote and its microphone is near it always gets the right information
[18:36:37] shortbus: no good for you is great for me though ;-)
[18:36:58] shortbus: i guess that just goes to show that everyone has different needs and opinions on products
[18:37:14] shortbus: i can not fathom who would use a chromebook
[18:37:27] shortbus: ;-)
[18:38:16] wagnerrp: you have a small child, so you're willing to put up with some nuisance to avoid having a small remote that can be used in a destructive fashion
[18:38:25] shortbus: 2 small children
[18:38:29] shortbus: 2 and 4
[18:38:48] shortbus: and you can say that again!
[18:38:51] shortbus: ;-)
[18:38:51] wagnerrp: for general use, i just dont see the current capability of voice and gesture control to replace the speed and simpleness of a remote
[18:38:59] shortbus: oh no
[18:39:03] shortbus: never
[18:39:05] shortbus: well
[18:39:14] shortbus: maybe in the future
[18:39:31] shortbus: but by then everything will be a mesh with chips implanted in our brain
[18:39:33] shortbus: ;-)
[18:39:48] wagnerrp: as for chromebook, i completely agree with you... excepting certain cases
[18:40:05] wagnerrp: i dont have a problem with the concept of a PC or laptop acting as a dumb terminal client
[18:40:29] wagnerrp: i do have a problem with the terminal server being google, or some other organization that is not me
[18:40:36] shortbus: nanobots creating microcircuitry that will interface us directly with our gadgets
[18:40:55] shortbus: oh yea, i see its use... just do not see what it gains you over a tablet
[18:41:02] shortbus: its too little to late
[18:41:54] shortbus: i guess there is a niche for it
[18:41:55] wagnerrp: chromebook, tablet, smartphone with "the cloud", its all the same thing
[18:42:00] shortbus: lol
[18:42:04] wagnerrp: all these applications that depend on resources outside my control
[18:42:14] shortbus: and that is why i will not use them

[18:46:13] wagnerrp: it doesnt even need to be opt in, it could be the default behavior
[18:46:16] shortbus: but then i think people should be able to do whatever they want with their purchased hardware
[18:46:32] wagnerrp: but it should at least be set up that you dont _have_ to use their server farm, you can supply your own
[18:46:59] wagnerrp: and you just dont see that outside of things designed for commercial systems
[18:47:23] shortbus: a lot of enterprise services are that way
[18:47:29] shortbus: if you have the money for it ;-)
[18:47:46] wagnerrp: right, only available if you buy a thousand units
[18:48:01] shortbus: or pay tens of thousands for one
[18:48:42] shortbus: i got a quote on an emc backup solution that was over $1million USD
[18:50:04] shortbus: i countered with a linux based glusterfs solution and a deduplication routine run as a cron job running on backblaze pod hardware for less than $40K USD
[18:50:39] shortbus: http://blog.backblaze.com/2011/07/20/petabyte . . . ore-secrets/
[18:50:53] shortbus: in case you are not familiar with the backblaze pod design
[18:50:55] wagnerrp: that backblaze isnt going to be anything like the performance of the EMC solution
[18:51:21] wagnerrp: and in all honestly, not very robust unless youve got redundant hardware running duplicates
[18:51:59] shortbus: when its running 10Gbit *2 bonded with redundant everything... it will be damn close
[18:52:34] shortbus: and it would be a fraction of the cost
[18:53:17] wagnerrp: the backblaze stuff is only intended for backend archival storage, not a live SAN
[18:53:48] wagnerrp: which is what you're buying with the EMC solution
[18:54:01] shortbus: not 100% sure about that... i have not been too impressed with the emc solutions i have bought in the past
[18:54:24] wagnerrp: the high density archive, layered with SSD and RAM caches for higher speed live access
[18:54:55] shortbus: they always promise great iops and perfect uptime and reliable multipathing... and it always seems to fall short of what they promise
[18:55:31] wagnerrp: right, but on the blazebox, everything is bottlenecked behind port expanders
[18:55:46] shortbus: true
[18:55:54] wagnerrp: at least the SUN thumper stuff provided a dedicated channel to each drive (at significantly increased cost)
[18:56:21] shortbus: i was thinking of a way to modify the backblaze to do that exact type of thing
[18:56:47] shortbus: 1/2 the storage really... but using a true backplane with 1 to 1 port to drive mapping
[18:57:05] wagnerrp: replace the expanders with straight-through backplanes, use a bunch of SAS controller cards
[18:57:11] shortbus: exactly
[18:57:20] shortbus: not hard to modify really
[18:57:29] shortbus: then you can get some REAL performance
[18:57:30] wagnerrp: although its easier to do that with multiples of 4, rather than 5
[18:57:53] wagnerrp: in fours, you get the multilane cables and cards, in fives, you've got to wire everything up individually
[18:58:29] shortbus: yep, and you have to give up space for the actual backplane
[18:58:45] wagnerrp: why?
[18:58:52] wagnerrp: you already have a backplane
[18:59:05] wagnerrp: you're just now using ones with multiple lanes rather than just one
[18:59:19] shortbus: depends on the setup you go with
[19:00:18] shortbus: http://www.chassis-plans.com/backplanes.html
[19:00:50] shortbus: if your going to use a pci backplane with lots of sas cards or a sata backplane with fewer cards
[19:01:21] wagnerrp: id still rather go freebsd/zfs, and use smaller parity sets
[19:01:39] shortbus: hmmm
[19:01:43] shortbus: thats a possiblity
[19:02:34] wagnerrp: then just give it a nice big SLC SSD, and that takes care of all your write IOPS concerns, and a good deal of the read concerns

[19:03:01] shortbus: i use a lot of fusion io cards
[19:03:39] shortbus: only problem with them in sometimes when the system crashes they take a lot of time to flush buffers when they come back up
[19:03:42] shortbus: not horrible
[19:03:49] wagnerrp: ZFS has what it calls an "L2ARC", which is just a second layer of disk cache intended to exist on some non-volatile storage
[19:03:52] shortbus: but my hpc solutions have to wait on them at time
[19:04:47] wagnerrp: its all handled natively, internal to the filesystem, rather than having to program some middleware to handle it for you
[19:04:48] shortbus: going to have to play with that

[19:04:54] wagnerrp: same thing with deduplication
[19:05:21] wagnerrp: checksumming can detect bitrot, and if you let it handle your parity/mirror sets, it can internally correct for it
[19:06:41] wagnerrp: stripes are sized to individual files, rather than arbitrarily to 128K or 256K, so you dont have to worry about reading out existing data to calculate parity before writing
[19:06:49] shortbus: yea, zfs has some cool features... i need to look into using it more
[19:06:58] wagnerrp: you're only writing over data you're already working on, meaning it's already cached

[19:09:40] shortbus: add a few of these on it http://www.fusionio.com/products/iodrive-octal/
[19:10:23] shortbus: and a few SAS cards that can handle lots of drives and you should be in business for some really high thoughput
[19:10:49] shortbus: and all for a fraction of the cost of the emc solution
[19:11:44] wagnerrp: i was more thinking something like this... http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16816118181
[19:11:50] wagnerrp: you would only need three
[19:12:30] shortbus: ie http://www.lsi.com/products/storagecomponents . . . 0-24i4e.aspx
[19:12:59] shortbus: the one i listed is a 24 port SAS card
[19:13:10] wagnerrp: nah, much too expensive
[19:13:17] wagnerrp: you listed a SAS RAID card
[19:13:20] shortbus: true
[19:13:48] wagnerrp: like $1500 for one
[19:13:59] wagnerrp: compared to $400

[19:15:08] wagnerrp: sure, but its a lot more costly, and theres a decent amount of overhead compared to a "dumber" card

[19:16:00] shortbus: you ever played with gluster fs?
[19:16:07] wagnerrp: nope
[19:16:12] shortbus: it works very well
[19:16:29] wagnerrp: cluster i used to play with on campus was just a single file server and NFS
[19:16:30] shortbus: especially when you have 10Gbit networking
[19:16:42] shortbus: glusterfs is very nice
[19:16:53] shortbus: you can stripe files across lots of servers
[19:17:05] shortbus: distributed, replicated, and striped
[19:17:12] shortbus: all in one setup
[19:17:55] shortbus: clients can mount a native glusterfs using a fuse module or it can be mounted as nfsv3
[19:18:31] wagnerrp: three of those cards, one of these... http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131861 , one of these... http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16833736004 , and two slots left for the fusionio cards
[19:18:46] shortbus: http://www.gluster.org/
[19:19:08] wagnerrp: although im not sure asus's pedigree as a server manufacturer
[19:20:12] shortbus: i am sure that you can get a supermicro or tyan with the same setup
[19:21:06] wagnerrp: i didnt look far, the next closest on newegg was a supermicro and an intel with four 3.0 slots
[19:21:18] wagnerrp: and they were mostly x4 electrical
[19:21:23] shortbus: right
[19:21:43] shortbus: thats the trick in PCIe slots...
[19:21:58] shortbus: most people just look at the port not what it really can do
[19:22:23] shortbus: ie... they see its a mechanical 16x but do not look and see its really only an electrical 8x
[19:22:30] shortbus: or 1x
[19:22:35] shortbus: heh
[19:23:12] shortbus: the problem would be the fusionio cards... they are expensive
[19:23:39] wagnerrp: i recall when the first NF4 SLI boards came out, there was a way you could trick the drivers into running with SLI enabled on any NF4 chipset
[19:24:11] shortbus: but even at a cost of $30K per box you can buy lots of them for $1M
[19:24:20] wagnerrp: so you had a bunch of people modding NF4 Ultra boards to run SLI with x16/x1, with roughly 90% the performance the people running NF4 SLI boards at x8/x8 were getting
[19:24:28] shortbus: lol
[19:25:17] wagnerrp: and even companies selling Ultra boards with two physical x16 slots, so you wouldnt have to dremel out the notch to fit a larger card
[19:26:12] shortbus: i have been thinking of using this one... http://www.chassis-plans.com/single-board-com . . . ckplane.html
[19:26:30] shortbus: only PCIe 2.0
[19:26:40] shortbus: but that will work for most cards
[19:27:21] wagnerrp: well it should work for all cards, just at half the speed
[19:27:40] wagnerrp: of course how much bandwidth does this thing actually offer back to the host system
[19:27:47] shortbus: all 20 slots are 16x electrical and mechanical
[19:28:06] shortbus: it uses an sbc onboard to connect
[19:28:09] shortbus: it is the system
[19:29:04] shortbus: they call it a "system host board"
[19:29:28] wagnerrp: sure, the slots are full speed back to their respective PCIe controllers, but PCIe 2.0 is 500MB/s bidirectional
[19:29:44] wagnerrp: you're just not going to have 125GB/s available bandwidth to the CPU
[19:30:12] shortbus: oh ... true

[19:32:11] wagnerrp: ive never personally dealt with those things, but i understand the concept
[19:32:33] wagnerrp: (backplane systems)
[19:33:33] shortbus: so they have multiple PCIe edge connectors
[19:33:43] shortbus: and this one claims ... Intel® Quick Path Interconnect – 4.4GT/s or 5.8GT/s
[19:34:11] shortbus: saying of course that processor determines speed
[19:34:55] shortbus: again... this board is expensive
[19:35:09] shortbus: that is why you do not see it in standard server class systems
[19:35:45] wagnerrp: well its not expensive, its just uncommon
[19:35:48] wagnerrp: and volume drives price
[19:35:53] shortbus: exactly
[19:35:54] shortbus: yes
[19:35:56] shortbus: very true
[19:37:54] shortbus: and you have to find a chassis to support the setup
[19:38:00] shortbus: and most of those are custom
[19:38:59] shortbus: ever seen a rackmount, or any other, chassis with 20 slots for expansion, and dont forget the connections for the SBC

[19:49:53] russell5: a little. not really loud but could be better
[19:51:02] wagnerrp: personally, i would take your old desktop parts, build a new backend system in the basement with the tuners and hard drives, and make your existing machine a dedicated frontend
[19:51:27] wagnerrp: use the remote to turn it on and off, and let the other machine stay on all the time for server duties
