[02:11:27] qu: Does anyone know what ./configure wants to enable vdpau?
[02:11:50] qu: I've installed every vdpau-related header file I can think of.
[02:12:05] qu: (Debian Testing)
[02:13:05] wagnerrp: it should only require libvdpau, and presumably any headers that should be included with that but are placed in a separate package by distros for unknown reasons
[02:13:51] qu: I have libvdpai-dev installed, but ./configure refuses to recognize it.
[02:14:54] wagnerrp: then look into config.ep and figure out what it's complaining about
[02:16:59] kisak: the gentoo ebuild optionally adds --enable-vdpau to ./configure
[02:17:32] qu: I manually put that in, but still no-go. Checking config.ep...
[02:17:37] wagnerrp: it's unnecessary. vdpau is enabled by default
[02:17:55] wagnerrp: it's only disabled if you're missing dependencies
[02:19:28] kisak: I should disable the use flag and see if this ebuild still builds in vdpau support since that line looks off in the ebuild if it works automatically by default
[02:19:58] wagnerrp: there's no harm in forcing it to enabled
[02:20:11] wagnerrp: since it's still going to go through the same configure check to see if the prereqs exist
[02:21:10] kisak: meaning the ebuild may fail to disable vdpau if the crazy user wants it disabled, but has the dependencies for vdpau
[02:21:26] wagnerrp: is there no negative?
[02:22:18] kisak: the line reads `use vdpau && myconf="${myconf} --enable-vdpau"` instead of `myconf="${myconf} $(use_enable vdpau)"`
[02:22:26] wsuetholz (wsuetholz!~Thunderbi@cpe-65-28-33-191.wi.res.rr.com) has quit (Ping timeout: 264 seconds)
[02:23:13] kisak: anyway, only crazy admins would have that scenario
[02:25:05] qu: O hell, whereas I put --enable-vdpau at the beginning of (my very long) configure, toward the end was still --disable-vdpau.
[02:25:54] wagnerrp: if you have a very long configure, you're probably doing something wrong
[02:25:57] [R] ([R]!~rbox@unaffiliated/rbox) has joined #mythtv-users
[02:26:14] qu: I disable everything except what I absolutely use.
[02:26:18] wagnerrp: why?
[02:26:32] qu: Extra flotsam to go wrong.
[02:26:48] wagnerrp: not really
[02:26:53] qu: There have been times when compile would fail due to an unrelated device.
[02:26:57] kisak: inactive code is ... inert
[02:27:14] qu: Trust me.
[02:27:41] qu: I'm trying to get hardware accel on this AMD card.
[02:27:57] wagnerrp: if the compile fails due to an unrelated device, that's either a misconfigured system, or a bug in mythtv that aught to get fixed
[02:28:18] wagnerrp: either way, it's better to see it than throw arguments on top of it to mask the issue
[02:28:34] qu: There have been bugs. I just do it this way for years because of that. I can't use Myth at all for now.
[02:28:55] qu: Neither QT nor any GL works.
[02:29:15] wagnerrp: standard behavior for AMD hardware on Linux
[02:29:22] kisak: sad but true
[02:29:49] qu: I've been floundering around with this for weeks, putting up with insults that I should go to nVidia by ppl who don't know what else I'm doing.
[02:30:09] wagnerrp: are you the opencl guy?
[02:30:14] qu: Yes.
[02:30:19] qu: And CAL++
[02:30:22] kisak: last I heard vaapi was the way to go with this scenario
[02:30:28] wagnerrp: the same issue exists there as well
[02:30:39] wagnerrp: the industry overwhelmingly uses CUDA because it works
[02:30:40] qu: VA-API doesn't work with Myth.
[02:30:56] wagnerrp: even if theoretical numbers claim AMD hardware is faster
[02:31:33] qu: It's not theoretical. I'm getting 1.52 MHashes/sec on it, which is light-years ahead of anything else.
[02:31:39] Korny: Open ELC seem to have AMD stuff working well
[02:31:49] Korny: with xbmc
[02:32:37] Korny: So there's hope lol
[02:33:21] kisak: well, this is where someone discretely hands you a disclaimer that your milage may vary and let you do whatever you want
[02:33:24] qu: Nobody knows how to use xbmc with the myth backend. And I don't think it can cut commercials..
[02:34:07] kisak: it would in my house :D
[02:34:09] Korny: Hey wagnerrp, you use an intel graphics card for one of yoru boxes, how do you adjust overscan? its not as simple as a nvidia card with a slider
[02:34:10] qu: Hey man, I've been around for 10 years.
[02:34:35] wagnerrp: with the screen setup wizard, in mythfrontend
[02:34:54] wagnerrp: you don't adjust overscan, you merely resize the mythtv UI to match
[02:35:03] Korny: I meant outside myth, or don't you worry about that
[02:35:14] qu: OK Myth is compiled. Now to see what kind of potatoes we have.
[02:35:16] wagnerrp: i don't do anything outside of myth
[02:36:16] wagnerrp: ok... 10 hours later and my system is mostly functional after a bungled upgrade, time to set up a Clang buildbot
[02:36:49] ** Korny is debating upgrading to ubuntu 14.04 lts **
[02:37:12] Korny: Everything is running so well right now, I sitll have 3 years worth of support :/
[02:37:26] wagnerrp: apparently the freebsd10 stage 2 bootloader doesn't know how to handle a system with 14 disks
[02:37:31] wagnerrp: so it just up and crashes
[02:38:02] Korny: 14 disks isn't THAT rare
[02:38:11] wagnerrp: either that, or it can't handle RAID-Z2 vdevs
[02:38:38] wagnerrp: either way, i have to wait until halfway through my boot cycle to turn half my hard drives on
[02:39:10] wagnerrp: and at some point, i need to haul 100lbs of server back down two flights of stairs to my basement
[02:39:47] Korny: That makes me feel even lazier about rebooting one of my front ends using terminal emulator on my phone :(
[02:39:57] Korny: instead of getting up and walking 10 feet to the front end
[02:40:27] wagnerrp: my big concern is that it's also my general server, including mail
[02:40:35] wagnerrp: so if i lose power when i'm out of town, that's it
[02:40:43] wagnerrp: no remote recover
[02:40:44] wagnerrp: y
[02:45:05] qu: Everything fails. vaapi, vdpau, qt, opengl1.
[02:45:48] Gumby (Gumby!~gumby@unaffiliated/gumby) has joined #mythtv-users
[02:46:44] qu: Setting Painter to Auto and Playbach to opengl1, error on output device.
[02:47:02] qu: Playback to vaapi and mythfrontend segfaults.
[02:47:36] qu: Playback on vdpau, it tries to start the video forever.
[02:47:56] qu: Playback on qt, error on output device.
[02:48:09] wagnerrp: should be opengl2
[02:48:27] qu: Oh? Not Auto?
[02:48:34] wagnerrp: no, not opengl1
[02:48:51] qu: What should I set Playback to?
[02:49:11] qu: vaapi, vdpau, normal, etc.
[02:49:17] wagnerrp: no... i mean the option is "opengl2", not "opengl1". are you actually seeing "opengl1"?
[02:49:54] qu: I can choose for Painter, Qt, Auto, Opengl1 or opengl2.

[03:03:50] qu: Another night without TV.
[03:05:21] Korny: What exactly are you trying to do? Because if you're really desprate you could livecd boot a mythbuntu distro
[03:05:58] qu: Trying to run Myth on an AMD 7990.
[03:06:21] qu: But this isn't the only thing the 7990 is doing, so I can't boot to something else.
[03:06:42] qu: Myth is not taking in the headers needed, from the driver includes.
[03:07:22] qu: va-api works on the system, opengl works, opencl works. But none of it in mythtv.
[03:07:49] qu: I have a feeling this is a busted aspect of myth.
[03:08:01] qu: No AMD.
[03:10:47] Korny: You spent 800 dollars+ on a video card ugg :)
[03:11:22] Korny: I dont' keep track of video cards anymore, but is that a fairly new card?
[03:11:23] wagnerrp: because he's cheaping out and not buying the $3000+ card with ECC memory
[03:11:38] wagnerrp: he's using it as a poor mans compute card, not a graphics card
[03:11:38] Korny: Maybe the linux drivers just suck balls?
[03:11:53] Korny: oh
[03:12:32] qu: Actually it's a $1,200 card.
[03:12:54] qu: You mean a 'poor man's supercomputer'?
[03:13:15] qu: triple 7990's, water-cooled.
[03:13:46] Korny: I don't think I could ever spend that much money on one of those lol
[03:13:53] qu: The 7990 is discontinued. But it's still the fastest opencl on the planet.
[03:13:59] wagnerrp: i don't consider the vector units on a GPU to be sufficiently general purpose to be considered a "supercomputer"
[03:14:07] kisak: if you want to think in 1980's supercomputer terms, sure why not
[03:14:21] qu: You ppl don't know.
[03:14:32] wagnerrp: nah, he's got something comparable to late 90s in that thing
[03:14:48] qu: So we're going to bicker over the video card, rather than find the problem.
[03:15:16] wagnerrp: neither of us know anything about the video rendering aspects of mythtv to find the problem
[03:15:28] wagnerrp: so drivel is all that remains
[03:15:30] wagnerrp: :)
[03:15:46] qu: I gues I'll read a book.
[03:15:49] kisak: I'm just a random other user on the side

[03:16:56] wagnerrp: i think we angered him
[03:18:05] wagnerrp: my comment wasn't untrue
[03:18:19] kisak: he's wanting a paid corporate dev's cooperation from this channel
[03:18:35] wagnerrp: you don't use cheap cards like that for computing because they are designed for graphics, where everything is processed once through and then discarded
[03:18:54] wagnerrp: if you're doing computations with those things, errors develop and propagate downstream, causing bad things
[03:19:01] kisak: for a problem that's over 5 years old in the driver
[03:19:03] wagnerrp: unless you're just computing hashes
[03:19:16] wagnerrp: which means... bitcoin miner?

[03:20:08] ctmjr: thats my guess
[03:22:11] ctmjr: spend all that money on 3 cards and cannot get mythtv too work
[03:22:42] wagnerrp: nah, spend all that money on 3 cards to drown out your TV in fan noise

[03:25:24] Korny: well hmm thats odd, my front end locked up, taking a tuner with it
[03:25:43] Korny: now I rebooted teh front end but the tunner still thinks that its watching live tv
[03:25:58] wagnerrp: i thought that issue had been fixed
[03:26:21] wagnerrp: xbmc users had been getting that _a_lot_, since they were not being clean about disconnecting, and leaving things open
[03:26:28] Korny: I'm not using xbmc
[03:26:38] Korny: I've never had this happen that I know of
[03:26:40] wagnerrp: i know, but the frontend locking up would have the same effect
[03:26:55] wagnerrp: the livetv session terminating uncleanly
[03:27:17] wagnerrp: i'm saying i thought as a result of that, someone patched the backend to force the tuner to close when the frontend went offline
[03:27:34] Korny: Any gracefull way of killing it? I like the 2 other recordings going on lol
[03:28:03] wagnerrp: easiest way is to just restart the backend when you get the opportunity
[03:28:18] wagnerrp: there's probably some way to free it using the internal protocol, but i'm not sure of the incantation off hand
[03:31:11] Korny: sigh
[03:31:23] Korny: sex sent me to the ER is funny
[03:31:43] wagnerrp: ?
[03:32:27] wagnerrp: is this something on Spike, like 1000 ways to die?
[03:32:31] Korny: Show on TLC I'm recording, and family guy, I'm stuck on Wild Hockey
[03:32:34] Korny: no
[03:32:47] Korny: Its more like mystery diagnosis ER shows
[03:32:51] [R]: i've had myth automatically continue the recording

[20:40:34] MartinT: if they have 2, would they be willing to part with both ;)

[21:26:05] xris: wagnerrp: there's a bug that you locked a couple months back, talking about sync issues and likely conflict with mythtv and the nvidia drivers (both open and proprietary) with older 4-digit nvidia card model numbers
[21:29:15] wagnerrp: any bug i might have locked would have been due to "me too" comments
[21:29:18] wagnerrp: feel free to unlock
[21:32:11] xris: yeah, guess I didn't want to touch it in case it was more than that. now to dig it back up again.  :)

[21:57:42] wagnerrp: define "cheap"
[21:58:57] drocsid: $5–10
[21:59:21] drocsid: usb dvb-t tuners are $5 and less
[21:59:55] wagnerrp: yeah. expect $40+ per tuner for something decent

[22:00:55] wagnerrp: i've got two, but you're going to pay $40-$50/tuner for one
[22:00:55] stuartm: usb dvb-t tuners for $5? Don't think I've ever seen anything under $20
[22:00:56] drocsid: tonsofpcs: are you using the hdhr or a different one?
[22:01:06] tonsofpcs: HDHR3-US
[22:01:26] drocsid: stuartm: you haven't looked on ebay
[22:01:29] tonsofpcs: I have two of them, that makes four tuners total
[22:01:50] tonsofpcs: drocsid: plastic case labeled 'tuner' != tuner
[22:01:53] wagnerrp: i prefer not to buy questionable electronics on ebay
[22:03:12] stuartm: OK, some going on Ebay for £7 – which is $11 and change
[22:03:28] drocsid: http://www.ebay.com/itm/USB-2-0-DVB-T-Digital . . . em2a3083178f
[22:04:12] wagnerrp: in any case, that's DVB-T, not ATSDC
[22:04:22] tonsofpcs: that's $7...
[22:06:02] stuartm: guess ATSC tuners are going to cost more on average simply because there's a smaller market for them
[22:06:37] stuartm: drocsid: interesting that those same tuners direct from china are twice the price on the UK version of ebay
[22:08:19] wagnerrp: there's also the issue that all the countries that use ATSC can pay more
[22:08:39] wagnerrp: DVB-T is used in many poorer countries
[22:11:19] stuartm: could be, although it's also the case that DVB-T is used by the richest countries
[22:11:45] wagnerrp: but there's no "region coding" in DVB
[22:12:00] wagnerrp: so there's no market control of pricing

[22:21:39] stuartm: for those that like pretty pictures – https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DVB-T#Countries . . . _using_DVB-T
[22:22:43] stuartm: suprising that ISDB-T has penetrated as far as it has
[22:23:12] wagnerrp: when you're selling tuners to places like central africa and south east asia, you simply can't charge more than a couple bucks
[22:23:25] wagnerrp: so a couple bucks, plus shipping, and you have fleabay
[22:23:56] wagnerrp: digital TV hasn't taken off in mexico yet for us to feel that effect
[22:25:32] wagnerrp: personally? i'd rather pay another $20 and _not_ have to deal with fleabay
[22:27:47] BillK (BillK!~BillK-Fre@106-68-64-226.dyn.iinet.net.au) has joined #mythtv-users
[22:28:42] stuartm: yeah, I really wouldn't bother with anything that cheap personally
[22:29:08] stuartm: the cheaper usb stuff especially has had all sorts of problems with overheating etc
[22:29:16] Steve-Goodey: wagnerrp: Am I right in thinking usb tuners not so good compared to pcie?
[22:29:28] stuartm: and reception too, bad pcb layouts and shielding
[22:29:42] wagnerrp: i'm not the person to ask. i have a predisposition against anything USB
[22:30:26] wagnerrp: but as a general rule, if i'm not going to be connecting and disconnecting it frequently, there's no reason for it to be USB
[22:31:25] stuartm: Steve-Goodey: they could be, but quality varies for both, but more often the usb stuff is unrealiable simply because it was built to be cheap
[22:32:28] wagnerrp: USB itself was built to be cheap
[22:32:30] stuartm: fewer chinese sweat shops are turning out pci kit for whatever reason
[22:32:33] wagnerrp: so the principles carry on
[22:32:37] Steve-Goodey: The advantage I see that PCTV290e supported in kernal whereas the pcie ones use binary blobs.
[22:32:56] Steve-Goodey: Which seem a pain to build
[22:33:33] stuartm: Steve-Goodey: all of them? The pci-e dvb-t2 cards do have a significant price advantage IMHO
[22:34:51] wagnerrp: i think my HVR-1250 is one of the few tuners that actually doesn't need a firmware
[22:34:53] stuartm: dual and quad tuners for just 50%-100% more than the single tuner 290e
[22:35:49] stuartm: yeah, most tuners – usb or pci(e) require a binary firmware
[22:36:14] Steve-Goodey: 290e seem all gone now, can't see anywhere to get them so was looking at tbs ones.
[22:36:34] stuartm: the driver itself is open, just not in the kernel (yet)
[22:37:37] stuartm: rebuilding is only an issue if you plan on upgrading the machine frequently, which is usually not the case for a backend
[22:38:15] stuartm: that said, I'd also be more comfortable if the driver was in the dvb tree and therefore guaranteed to be maintained
