[00:24:59] aarcane: So I finally got Mythtv working for my backend. I'm trying to figure something out..
[00:25:11] aarcane: I've apparently left it watching some channel on one of my two frontends...
[00:25:32] aarcane: and I've come back to a folder of 122 GB of small video files...
[00:25:50] wagnerrp: they will expire in short order on their own
[00:26:05] aarcane: How can I limit the amount of live television that mythtv will archive in this fashion? I don't want them around long, and I don't want more than about 100GiB of this type of files.
[00:26:22] wagnerrp: they will expire faster if you need the room
[00:28:14] aarcane: I don't have a theoretical limit it's close to hitting in hardware or software, but I'd like to know precisely how much space live television will consume ahead of time, and preferably to limit it manually. Of course recordings can grow pretty much indefinitely
[00:28:49] wagnerrp: you can partition off part of your hard drive, and force livetv to only use that partition
[00:29:27] wagnerrp: otherwise, livetv could grow to be as much as you can record in a 24 hour period
[00:29:56] wagnerrp: or roughly 170GB (assuming one frontend)
[00:29:58] aarcane: I've got ZFS, so I can just set a quota on a filesystem if it comes to that, but I'd like to keep all my recordings in a single dataset and NOT forcibly limit it
[00:30:06] aarcane: I have two frontends in theory.
[00:30:12] aarcane: one should be seldom used.
[00:31:15] aarcane: can I set that 24 hour thing to something closer to 6 hours without detrimentally affecting anything?
[00:31:27] wagnerrp: there might be a setting, i don't know where it is
[00:31:40] wagnerrp: but the question is... why do you think you need to limit it?
[00:32:16] earthworm (earthworm!~biggaz@host-78-144-63-123.as13285.net) has quit (Read error: Operation timed out)
[00:32:17] wagnerrp: mythtv's disk scheduler really doesn't work well with multiple ZFS data sets
[00:32:30] wagnerrp: since all of them will appear to be the same size
[00:32:30] Guest10918 (Guest10918!~williamma@c-69-180-207-35.hsd1.tn.comcast.net) has quit (Ping timeout: 264 seconds)
[00:33:04] aarcane: I particularly dislike having processes automatically consuming disk resources. I'm recovering from having <100GiB of free space, and I don't want to end up at that point again any time soon.
[00:33:22] wagnerrp: yeah, that's the other thing
[00:33:29] wagnerrp: ZFS doesn't like being anywhere close to full
[00:33:48] wagnerrp: usually, once you get within about 20%, you're heading into some serious performance issues
[00:34:02] wagnerrp: far more so than is typical for POSIX filesystems
[00:34:10] aarcane: yeah, I know. I was just there.
[00:34:28] aarcane: I upgraded from 5TiB to 12TiB of usable space at the same time I acquired an HD Homerun
[00:34:38] wagnerrp: so the best solution... tell MythTV you want to reserve like 2TB of space on the array
[00:34:46] wagnerrp: once you hit that limit, it starts expiring content
[00:34:53] wagnerrp: livetv is always expired before recordings
[00:35:23] [R] ([R]!~rbox@unaffiliated/rbox) has quit (Quit: Leaving)
[00:35:23] wagnerrp: if something else starts using that space, MythTV will begin expiring content to maintain that much free space
[00:35:33] aarcane: My preference is to Expire live tv early and often while not expiring recordings except as specified in recording preferences
[00:39:48] natanojl (natanojl!~jonatan@mythtv/developer/natanojl) has quit (Read error: Operation timed out)
[00:39:57] wagnerrp: live tv will always be expired before scheduled recordings

[00:49:34] wagnerrp: just five minutes into a new series and they kill him off

[00:56:17] Hydr0p0nX: yea, it's on my record list
[00:56:22] Hydr0p0nX: just haven't watched it yet
[00:57:15] wagnerrp: if he's playing an important role in something, you know his role is to die
[00:57:20] Hydr0p0nX: yea
[00:57:24] Hydr0p0nX: oh
[00:57:58] Hydr0p0nX: oh, how reliable have you found the commercial detection to be?
[00:58:06] Hydr0p0nX: i noticed the wiki made it sound iffy
[00:58:24] wagnerrp: usually pretty decent, if you're in the US
[00:58:45] wagnerrp: there was a bug a couple years back that would horribly botch all runs, but since that was fixed, it's not bad
[01:00:11] Hydr0p0nX: safe to assume it's accurate in most cases or do you review cut lists before cutting them?
[01:00:23] wagnerrp: i don't even use them when producing cutlists
[01:00:47] wagnerrp: either i generate the cutlist as i'm watching, or a build one from scratch later
[01:00:54] Hydr0p0nX: ahh
[01:01:01] wagnerrp: it only takes me maybe 2–3 minutes for an hour long show anyway
[01:01:23] Hydr0p0nX: will be reviewing them for a little while then
[01:01:33] wagnerrp: i completely forgot he was the bad guy in highlander

[01:10:52] wagnerrp: the other three majors come in just fine, but FOX is iffy
[01:13:14] wagnerrp: i've still got an old (white) HDHR
[01:13:38] wagnerrp: i need another tuner, i think ill just pick up one of the new ones, and hope for an improved demod

[01:20:05] wagnerrp: they're playing Get Shorty on a PBS station?

[01:23:08] wagnerrp: you know, i have three PBS stations in range
[01:24:33] Hydr0p0nX: 3 ?
[01:24:42] Hydr0p0nX: i didn't know there were 3 pbs stations =/

[01:41:01] wagnerrp: they pick up a lot of documentaries and old british TV shows

[08:01:28] trumee: OT, is it possible to route sound to a single speaker of a 7.1 speaker setup. want to minimise sound late in the night.
[08:03:53] caelor: trumee, it depends – how are you getting sound from Myth to the speakers? (SPDIF digital out to an external speaker system, or an analog 7.1 system connected to your PC hardware?)
[08:04:19] trumee: caelor: analog system using alsa
[08:05:04] caelor: you should be able to put something together with an asoundrc that remaps channels to a single one
[08:05:39] trumee: caelor: i will then connect headphone to that single speaker. Ideally bluetooth would have been useful, but getting it to work is a hassle
[08:06:08] caelor: yeah
[08:06:27] trumee: caelor: with a modified .asoundrc, will i have to modify the audio settings in mythtv?
[08:07:08] caelor: if MythTV is set to use alsa:default, then no, probably just restarting the frontend
[08:07:16] caelor: (or maybe not even that)
[08:07:37] trumee: caelor: can i map the audio change to a menu item, so i can modify audio setup from frontend?
[08:08:14] caelor: that would involve a change to menu.xml to add the menu item, but yes, you could use the menu to fire a script that reconfigured
[08:08:40] caelor: another alternative is using irexec with a remote button to fire the script
[08:09:08] caelor: (maybe using a frontend services API call to display a notification that the audio has been modified, if you're running 0.27)
[08:10:11] caelor: another option is to have a USB soundcard/headphones, and relaunch the frontend with a "forced" hostname (so it picks up an alternate config), that is configured to use the headphone soundcard
[08:11:17] caelor: the latter is probably the simpler solution to implement

I would like mythweb to show my local offset instead of UTC. Is this doable? If yes, how? I have tried futzing with php.ini and date.timezone to no avail.
[10:24:37] pb1: also, big thanks to fetzerch for making mythbackend work with xbmc, much appreciated :)

[15:15:38] wagnerrp: still?
[15:16:03] croccydile: Well I got the script to work, but it produced an unusable video
[15:16:47] croccydile: I'm wondering if the commercial removal thingy made the mpeg-2 source screwed up now
[15:17:06] wagnerrp: try playing the mpeg2 source
[15:17:34] croccydile: Source is ok
[15:17:53] croccydile: [mp2 @ 0x204d850] incomplete frame
[15:17:55] croccydile: Error while decoding stream #0:1: Invalid data found when processing input
[15:18:09] croccydile: ffmpeg gets to a frame about 18 minutes in, and then just dies
[15:18:18] croccydile: or rather it just skips to the end
[15:19:36] croccydile: Ill have to try one that hasnt had the commercial script work on it
[15:19:51] wagnerrp: commercial script? or mythtranscode?
[15:20:07] croccydile: it uses mythtranscode to do the lossless mpeg2 cutting
[15:20:13] croccydile: The one from teh wiki
[15:20:28] wagnerrp: as opposed to just running mythtranscode directly?
[15:20:35] wagnerrp: i don't understand the purpose
[15:20:46] croccydile: mythtranscode wont do x264?
[15:21:19] wagnerrp: no, only rtjpeg and mpeg4 (asp)
[15:21:28] croccydile: Yeah...
[15:22:08] wagnerrp: but why use lossless cutting if you're just going to transcode it?

[15:23:23] croccydile: I may have to skip that now
[15:23:30] wagnerrp: run mythtranscode in frame server mode
[15:23:42] wagnerrp: and serve raw frames to the external encoder
[15:23:52] croccydile: *Is not skilled enough to do that*
[15:24:33] croccydile: What about audio?

[17:47:06] croccydile: Awrrrr...
[18:01:38] wagnerrp: NextToNothing: it's certainly possible. my tv reports it needs to perform a firmware update every couple months
[18:02:44] wagnerrp: but how to actually do it... you would first need to figure out how to build your own firmware, then you would need to spoof the cryptographic signature from the manufacturer, and spoof your network location along with the update communications protocol in order to make it pull a new firmware from you
[18:03:12] wagnerrp: it can be done, sure, but it's about as far from a trivial exercise as you can get, and _well_ outside the scope of this channel
[18:04:03] NextToNothing: Hm.
[18:04:08] wagnerrp: this channel deals with "replacing the firmware" of a TV by hooking up a PC to it running MythTV, and turning the TV into a dumb monitor
[18:04:20] SpeedEvil: wagnerrp: it might not be.
[18:04:32] SpeedEvil: you could install a myth frontend on the TV.
[18:05:06] SpeedEvil: but ##embedded ##electronics – practically' for most tvs it will not be remotely practical

[18:06:28] SpeedEvil: some TVs are actually running Linux
[18:06:45] SpeedEvil: porting is very different from coding,
[18:06:45] wagnerrp: i'd say most TVs are actually running Linux
[18:07:05] SpeedEvil: it has its own unique problem, starting out with undocumented hardware
[18:07:33] wagnerrp: but there's a huge difference between embedded Busybox/Linux on a low-memory platform with an unknown hardware decoder, and a typical PC running GNU/Linux with gobs of memory and CPU
[18:08:36] wagnerrp: and that's ignoring the issue of the system being cryptographically locked, requiring signed software
[18:08:39] SpeedEvil: quite
[18:08:50] NextToNothing: As far as I can tell, the firmware is used on multiple TVs.. It's a Matsui tv, but the Logik TVs also have the exact same (at least front end wise) firmware on because they're both DSG Retail brands (Currys, PCWorld etc)
[18:08:53] SpeedEvil: some devices will let you upload for ware
[18:09:00] SpeedEvil: firmware
[18:10:10] wagnerrp: sure, but most devices that do that will only accept firmware signed by the manufacturer
[18:10:58] SpeedEvil: varies.
[18:11:10] SpeedEvil: requiring signature is common.

[21:19:02] Baylink: QUERY: I'm running xorg 1.12.3 from RPM on SuSE 12, and just switching to HDMI over to a 32" Philips. The set is 720p physical, but is reporting 1080i via DDC, and I can't figure out how to block the autodetected (but fake, and poorly scaled) resolution, and there are no knobs in the TV menus to shut it off. Can't I blacklist that resolution from autodetect somehow?
[21:19:29] ahow628: wagnerrp: I've looked in mythbackend.log, syslog.log, and kern.log but can't find anything about out of memory. Any other log to check in?
[21:19:47] wagnerrp: so where did the claim of "out of memory" come from?
[21:20:18] wagnerrp: or are you seeing it fly by on the screen during boot?
[21:22:02] ahow628: wagnerrp: It popped up and instead of saying the usual "report to Ubuntu" it said "can't report because of lack of memory" or something similar, plus another pop up saying "out of memory" error. I can't remember exactly what it said and haven't seen it since. I don't see boot because it is headless and I VNC into it after login.
[21:24:45] ahow628: And about that same time, it mythbackend stopped starting automatically at boot. Now I have to start it with "mythbackend -d" in a terminal.
[21:24:50] wagnerrp: that sounds like apport itself has run out of memory, not mythbackend
[21:24:58] ahow628: oh, ok.

[22:41:57] Baylink: fetching does not, and doing a channel scan in the editor isn't *either*; no channels found on any of 3 tuners.
[22:42:19] Baylink: How odd.
[22:42:22] ahow628: Really? Mine did on clear qam but pulled the regular version instead of the HD version. Had to manually get the channel ids.

[22:42:55] wagnerrp: if you had to manually get the channel ids, then you scanned
[22:43:23] wagnerrp: scanning analog channels on a 250 *should* work, but i couldn't tell you the last time anyone has tried it
[22:43:26] ahow628: Oh.
[22:43:30] Baylink: I only did the scan as a backstop; I expected fetch to populate the channel list, and it didn't.

That got me a new, and current channel lineup (they recently swapped ch 10 back onto ch 10, from 12 — do *not* ask :-)... but every channel is identifiably the right channel, but looks like scrambled pay TV used to. I'm on us-cable as I believe I'm supposed to be (it was the same on 'default').

[22:51:46] wagnerrp: ground loop?
[22:52:23] Baylink: Not impossible, but no one (is supposed to have) touched any of the cabling, and both TVs in the house seem ok.

[23:29:58] croccydile: O_o
[23:30:16] croccydile: I remember when I had mythtv in 2005, 250gb was my storage
[23:30:30] wagnerrp: 3TBx5+2 array, plus another four loose 2TB drives
[23:33:15] croccydile: Damn all I have is a 2TB disk for now
[23:33:39] croccydile: I guess when you have a lot of space, you find something to fill it with
[23:33:45] croccydile: Here its all modern marvels and how its made :p
[23:34:21] wagnerrp: here it's half a decade of archived HD recordings, and a bunch of DVD and bluray images
[23:35:59] Baylink: It's Isaac's Corollary to Parkinson's Law, yes: Recordings expand to deplete the available space.

[23:36:53] wagnerrp: well that 15TB replaces a previous 5.25TB
[23:36:55] Baylink: I'm looking at an HP dl180g6 as a backend; it has 12 SAS/SATA holes on the front, in 2U; I just need to make sure the controller firmware will take larger than a 1T drive.
[23:36:59] wagnerrp: so i've got plenty of room for a while
[23:37:21] Baylink: Their otherwise excellent MSA20 shelf will only allow a 2TB RAID volume, which sucks.

[23:38:53] wagnerrp: one of these and a bunch of cheap hotswap bays... http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16816118142
[23:39:01] Baylink: Yeah; I just figure they're pretty good at power and cooling.

[23:46:28] croccydile: I just have my mini-itx with a bunch of drives

[23:46:58] croccydile: I guess ill clear off this 3TB and stick that one in >_>
[23:47:01] Baylink: I wonder if these could be IVTV tunertype problems; one of my three tuners is coming up with an unknown PCI ID.
[23:47:16] croccydile: Oh no! :c
[23:48:21] wagnerrp: mini-itx?
[23:48:30] ** wagnerrp chuckles... http://images10.newegg.com/NeweggImage/Produc . . . 2-551-01.jpg **
[23:49:21] Baylink: Nope; it's a full-size ASUS AM3+ board. 2PCI and 4 PCIe of various sizes.
[23:49:23] croccydile: One moment please
[23:49:32] wagnerrp: i do have a mini-itx board for one of my frontends
[23:49:53] wagnerrp: as you can see, mythtv tends to be a money sink if you let it
[23:49:54] wagnerrp: :)
[23:50:16] croccydile: I dont have a very good shot of mine, and this is old https://www.dropbox.com/s/3p9fymg06sgad98/DSC_0162.JPG
[23:50:47] Baylink: Pastebin: http://pastebin.com/xmfNvZ8x
[23:51:01] Baylink: What's actually in there should be a 250 and a 500
[23:51:22] croccydile: Man your using a 500
[23:51:24] croccydile: I *hated* mine
[23:51:43] wagnerrp: that's a lian-li isn't it? q... something?
[23:51:46] Baylink: Ours has never recorded on both channels but I *could not find* a 3-PCI board in town yesterday.
[23:51:47] wagnerrp: one of the devs has one of those
[23:52:14] croccydile: Close, bitfenix prodigy... but downstairs the TV DOES have a lian-li pc-q08 ^^
[23:53:01] wagnerrp: yeah, that's what i'm thinking of
[23:53:21] croccydile: I like the prodigy more, its far easier to work on
[23:53:39] croccydile: The Q08 is compact and snazzy looking, but I rate its build difficulty was a 9.5/10
[23:53:46] wagnerrp: don't have to remove the power supply to do anything?
[23:53:58] croccydile: YEP!
[23:54:17] croccydile: That is one of the most difficult computers ive ever worked on
[23:54:18] wagnerrp: yeah, that's a bit of an unfortunate design
[23:54:41] wagnerrp: would have been interesting if they mounted the board on the side that opens, like an old mac pro
[23:55:28] croccydile: Yeah I think they fixed it in a later revision with a panel that can pop off or something... another reason for the difficulty is the sides screw on with little screws your always afraid to strip
[23:55:36] croccydile: The prodigy is far easier with thumbscrew sides
[23:56:09] wagnerrp: i don't regret that monster of a case, but i'm in the mood for something much smaller
[23:56:29] croccydile: I was recommended the prodigy by a friend, and no regrets about it
[23:56:41] croccydile: The board I have in there has 6 sata ports (!) so I can max out the bays too
[23:56:57] croccydile: Asrock Z87 miniITX with haswell cpu
[23:57:01] wagnerrp: i've actually got a design in my head for stuffing the whole thing in a wall-mount utility cabinet
[23:57:11] croccydile: Thats not a bad idea either
[23:57:19] wagnerrp: but it's a question of time, and getting around to it
[23:58:22] croccydile: Yeah I had been on leave from work with an injury, so thats the only way ive gotten all this stuff done here
[23:58:26] Baylink: Well, Emmys. Back on this fix tomorrow.
[23:58:33] croccydile: Since I had to move and get new furniture and stuffs
[23:58:47] wagnerrp: build it like a rackmount case, bolted to the wall front down
[23:58:55] Baylink: Thanks wagnerrp.
[23:58:59] wagnerrp: hard drives on the bottom with a bunch of fans, blowing up
[23:59:04] wagnerrp: later
[23:59:07] croccydile: This is a fairly recent one of my battlestation https://www.dropbox.com/s/b79ahggh7j8ban2/DSC_0224.JPG
