| [16:59:13] | Beirdo: | wagnerrp: that should be simple :) Don't lock the input devices, run in background |
| [16:59:15] | wagnerrp: | would be nice to get that in for 0.26, especially with the issue where the server is frequently returning faults, meaning it gets rerun on every startup |

| [17:19:22] | Beirdo: | no, we are not ready for rc |
| [17:19:54] | Beirdo: | there's no reason to delay the beta been mentioned on the list, it's two days late already, and it's fait accompli now |
| [17:20:30] | danielk22: | Beirdo: No. There are no non-critical bug fixes allowed after the beta is cut. There is no reason to stop bug fixes now when there are so many blockers outstanding. |
| [17:21:24] | Beirdo: | yes there certainly is. to get the blockers fixed rather than "wasting" energy on non-blockers |
| [17:24:42] | stuartm: | Beirdo: IMHO it's worth waiting, especially since we want as many people as possible to test the beta and asking them to risk recording when there are known backend deadlocks is unfair |
| [17:25:14] | stuartm: | plus I can imagine that we'll get fewer people risking running a beta while the Olympics are still occurring |

| [17:39:35] | Beirdo: | which is fairly common, I think |
| [17:51:37] | Beirdo: | danielk22: for the tickets you listed above, they should have their priorities bumped to how they are being treated |
| [17:51:51] | Beirdo: | we should not stop a release for a minor bug :) |
| [17:52:13] | Beirdo: | if it's being considered a blocker, it should be changed to that. IMHO |
| [17:56:38] | gigem: | skd5aner: #10967 is a known issue, along with some variations. I'd hoped to work on it for 0.26, but it didn't happen. |
| [17:56:38] | ** MythLogBot http://code.mythtv.org/trac/ticket/10967 ** | |
| [17:57:39] | skd5aner: | gigem: yea, I know we even chatted about it, but I felt it was something that warranted a ticket so it doesnt' get lost |
| [17:58:31] | gigem: | np. |
| [17:58:34] | skd5aner: | :) |
| [18:08:40] | skd5aner: | When you guys are prepared to cut beta / RC / Final, you might want to have your communications/marketting stuff prepared... |
| [18:09:25] | skd5aner: | I know I haven't done ANYTHING with release notes this entire cycle, and no one had anything prepared for the announcement for 0.25's release, so I went ahead and did that at the last minute too... just some friendly advice |
| [18:10:02] | skd5aner: | I think MythTV could really use a marketing guru, unfortunately that's not me |
| [18:11:33] | Beirdo: | and a project manager |
| [18:12:30] | skd5aner: | A little 1 to 2 sentence blurb on the website and/or mailing list projects a negative image that the devs don't really care about the release |
| [18:13:02] | stuartm: | I do think we should refrain from publishing timetables publicly in future, it only serves to feel that we're then obliged to stick rigidly to that schedule |
| [18:13:06] | skd5aner: | Beirdo: yea, that'd be great... but they'd have to have some super tough skin |
| [18:13:47] | danielk22: | stuartm: Speaking of the backtraceless deadlock, I take it it did not re-occur last night? |
| [18:14:14] | skd5aner: | stuartm: yes and no... it's a good motivator, but it's hard with a volunteer army to have accountability – and what are the goals? too vauge |
| [18:14:15] | stuartm: | we have to be flexible so long as we're working with an unknown number of man hours to achieve the goals |
| [18:14:26] | Beirdo: | skd5aner: for sure. thick skin is a necessity |
| [18:14:40] | Beirdo: | some cat herding skills would be invaluable too :) |
| [18:14:46] | wagnerrp: | anyone else notice --printexpire no longer seems to work? |
| [18:14:57] | wagnerrp: | someone mentioned it about an hour back on the -users list |
| [18:15:07] | skd5aner: | Beirdo: and a high level of trust from all the devs |
| [18:15:11] | Beirdo: | wagnerrp: really? eek |
| [18:15:51] | Beirdo: | skd5aner: yeah, that would help :0 |
| [18:16:05] | Beirdo: | so that brings us down to.. nobody. Woohoo! |
| [18:16:05] | stuartm: | skd5aner: I'd say it's de-motivational, if you know you aren't going to have time to finish something by a deadline isn't it more likely that you'll shelve it entirely instead of doing your best even if it's a day or three late? |
| [18:16:09] | Beirdo: | status quo |
| [18:16:15] | skd5aner: | Beirdo: cool, so let's go reach out to our investors and get some funding!!! ;) |
| [18:16:15] | stuartm: | danielk22: no deadlocks last night |
| [18:16:37] | Seeker`: | heh, mythtv needs someone to decide to pay the devs £100k a year :P |
| [18:16:44] | wagnerrp: | if (!cmdline.toBool("printexpire"))... that looks inverted |
| [18:16:46] | Beirdo: | more |
| [18:16:53] | skd5aner: | stuartm: I think soft dates are better than hard dates... no dates seems to lead to perptual development |
| [18:18:06] | stuartm: | skd5aner: right, soft dates are what I'm advocating, with enough communication and acceptance that dates may get pushed back in order to allow people to finish specific tasks |
| [18:18:16] | wagnerrp: | sphery: acually, looks like you already responded to that thread |
| [18:18:17] | skd5aner: | +1 |
| [18:18:45] | Beirdo: | stuartm: yeah, it's the communication that's always been our downfall in the past, though. Something we all need to work on, I guess |
| [18:19:33] | stuartm: | I'll admit I didn't look at the calendar when we set the beta release date, if I had realised it would fall squarely into the Olypmic fortnight I might have said something earlier |
| [18:19:37] | Beirdo: | as far back as I can remember, there've been last-minute bombs that one or two people knew about, and the rest are surprised by :) |
| [18:19:44] | Beirdo: | yeah, that too :) |
| [18:19:56] | Beirdo: | we should avoid Olympics, SuperBowl, etc |
| [18:20:16] | Beirdo: | ah well, it happens |
| [18:20:22] | danielk22: | We've run into the Olympics before. I think gigem did mention it. |
| [18:20:38] | stuartm: | personally I could care less about the Olypmics, but I know a _lot_ of people are interested and are recording many events (we've got ~20 dedicated Olympic channels here alone) |
| [18:21:01] | ** Seeker` twitches ** | |
| [18:21:04] | danielk22: | I believe we've also run into the SuperBowl, hard to keep track of these things when you aren't a big sports fan. :) |
| [18:21:16] | Beirdo: | seriously though, how many people are going to use the beta? |
| [18:21:34] | Beirdo: | we still have a chunk of 0.24 users that haven't dared to touch 0.25! |
| [18:21:36] | skd5aner: | Yea, I work in an industry where we have annual events that trigger complete freezes for tech changes... I suppose MythTV probably has theirs too... SuperBowl, Fall Premiers, Olympics, World Cup... |
| [18:21:46] | stuartm: | so it's understandable that even fewer people would want to risk testing an unstable release, and if they aren't testing it, then the beta label serves no purpose |
| [18:21:48] | danielk22: | Beirdo: You'd be surprised, we've gotten a number of bug reports right after cutting a beta before. |
| [18:22:02] | Beirdo: | danielk22: cool. :) |
| [18:22:31] | stuartm: | Beirdo: there have to be some and like I say, if there aren't any new people testing then why do we even bother with the beta stage? |
| [18:22:46] | Beirdo: | good question |
| [18:22:50] | Beirdo: | :) |
| [18:23:05] | danielk22: | I'm surprised at the number of people using 0.21,0.22,0.23.. we didn't have that latency in the 0.1x days. |
| [18:23:28] | Beirdo: | yeah, now some of them might be because of feature sunsetting |
| [18:23:33] | skd5aner: | stuartm: well, I do understnad people usually wait a few weeks after release to deploy, I typically wait a week because there's been plenty of times where critical bugs were foudn within a few days of release, but I typically am not scared to deploy the latest release relatively quickly |
| [18:23:33] | Beirdo: | but I doubt all of them are |
| [18:24:03] | ** Seeker` just runs master permamently, updates every few days. Rarely has an unusable system. ** | |
| [18:24:09] | skd5aner: | Unfortunately, due to the nature of the beast, it's hard for the average user to truly "test"... they basically have to just upgrade |
| [18:24:23] | Beirdo: | Seeker`: same here. since before I was a dev |
| [18:24:31] | Beirdo: | well, it was trunk then, but same thing |
| [18:24:36] | skd5aner: | I do think if there was a true ability to downgrade the db automatically 1 revision, you'd get an exponential uptake in early adopters/testers |
| [18:25:09] | stuartm: | danielk22: I think a lot of the latency comes from more and more people seeing their MythTV setups as mission critical instead of just a fun side hobby |
| [18:25:19] | Beirdo: | well, you do have a backup from just before the upgrade, but point well taken |
| [18:25:35] | Seeker`: | just refuse to support anything older than the current release more than, say, a month after it has been released |
| [18:26:11] | Beirdo: | I personally will support one release back, and past that, we've changed so much code, it's almost meaningless for me to try |
| [18:26:34] | Beirdo: | like no point trying to support 0.21 |
| [18:26:45] | danielk22: | Seeker`: Most of the support is end-user provided in the mythtv-users mailing list. We rarely backport fixes more than one release back. |
| [18:26:47] | Beirdo: | or even 0.24 |
| [18:27:15] | stuartm: | I'll sometimes go two versions back, if it's a bug I've known existed since that time and I can backport a fix without too much hassle |
| [18:27:37] | Beirdo: | yeah, some things are easy enough to backport |
| [18:27:40] | Seeker`: | Is there anything to inform users a new version has been released? Like with themes? |
| [18:28:07] | skd5aner: | Beirdo: the issue is not a backup of the db... it's the fact that if you do ANYTHING with the system post the upgrade, i.e. use it to record anything, those recordings then become orphaned |
| [18:28:10] | Beirdo: | like in the application? no |
| [18:28:20] | Beirdo: | skd5aner: understood |
| [18:28:24] | stuartm: | Seeker`: there's not notification no, we've planned to implement one but it's a feature that keeps sliding down the todo list |
| [18:28:51] | Seeker`: | stuartm: is it not a copy and paste of the theme code? |
| [18:29:11] | skd5aner: | stuartm: btw – probably terrible timing for a "feature request", but it falls in my realm of UX irritabilities... |
| [18:29:27] | Beirdo: | Seeker`: it would require some server-side code too |
| [18:29:43] | Beirdo: | somewhere for ET to phone home to |
| [18:30:14] | skd5aner: | stuartm: I love that the theme downloader alerts to a new version of a theme available, but there's no way for a user to understand what's changed or why they should upgrade the theme... it'd be nice if some very basic release notes could be shown |
| [18:30:15] | Seeker`: | Beirdo: if the system knows what version it is running, then you can just have a text file on mythtv.org containing '0.25' |
| [18:30:57] | stuartm: | Seeker`: well it's simple enough to tell a user what the current version is if they _ask_ by say going to the 'About' screen, what we'd planned was a little more fancy involving actively notifying users in the UI to updates |
| [18:31:26] | skd5aner: | I'm surprised mythbuntu didn't do something like that anyway |
| [18:31:36] | skd5aner: | (or other distros) |
| [18:31:56] | stuartm: | skd5aner: that's easy enough, there is something like that already in themeinfo.xml, albeit for listing known issues rather than a summary of changes |
| [18:31:58] | Seeker`: | stuartm: I mean couldn't it use the same code as the theme updates notification. The server side stuff doesn't have to be more complicated than a version number in a text file afaict |
| [18:32:52] | stuartm: | Seeker`: yeah that's what I'm saying, that would be simple, we'd just had in mind something a little more 'active' |
| [18:33:09] | stuartm: | but we do that as a stop-gap |
| [18:33:16] | skd5aner: | stuartm: I remember when Google finally added that to the Android Market/Play store a few years ago... you never knew what an app update was for until they added a field for the developer to list the changes for the last few versions |
| [18:33:59] | skd5aner: | stuartm: I think you should do it like corporate enterprises... let's just "push" new versions to everyone and force a reboot ;) |
| [18:34:13] | stuartm: | we really do need someone to work on some server side glue though, for hosting and serving updates on grabbers/plugins in addition to themes |
| [18:35:54] | stuartm: | skd5aner: you mean all those space wasting updates for apps you don't actually want but which come 'bundled' with the phone and no option to uninstall? |
| [18:36:17] | stuartm: | they could at least let you ignore updates for them |

| [18:37:23] | Seeker`: | stuartm: what sort of plugins? |
| [18:37:27] | stuartm: | I don't care about Facebook damn it, and I don't want that 13MB update for it ... |
| [18:37:31] | dmfrey_ (dmfrey_!~dmfrey@webdefence.cluster-h.websense.net) has joined #mythtv | |
| [18:37:34] | Beirdo: | :) |
| [18:37:37] | stuartm: | Seeker`: plugin plugins |
| [18:38:46] | stuartm: | Seeker`: my thought is that if we provide a place for third parties to upload their plugins and allow download/install from within the frontend we might get more people interested in creating some neat stuff |
| [18:39:59] | stuartm: | I'm also creating a widget feature for 0.27 and I'd like to encourage people to be inventive |
| [18:40:27] | tgm4883: | skd5aner, do what? |
| [18:40:28] | Seeker`: | widgets being things that appear on the menu screen? |
| [18:40:32] | stuartm: | that is, a _simple_ widget feature |
| [18:41:15] | skd5aner: | tgm4883: talking about notifying users about a new release |
| [18:41:21] | skd5aner: | (within the app) |
| [18:41:23] | tgm4883: | ah |
| [18:41:58] | skd5aner: | just was saying that even though MythTV doesn't do that (yet), that I'm kinda surprised that something like mythbuntu hasn't done something like that on their own |
| [18:41:59] | stuartm: | Seeker`: any screen potentially, we get frequent requests from people wanting to display various things in the UI and I'm hoping this will satisfy them |
| [18:42:11] | Seeker`: | ah, fair enough |
| [18:42:36] | Beirdo: | stuartm: like a news bar across the bottom with weather updates? :) |
| [18:42:44] | Beirdo: | and sports scores? |
| [18:42:46] | stuartm: | it's going to be basic, but still good for stuff like weather/news etc |
| [18:42:52] | Beirdo: | stocks? |
| [18:42:52] | stuartm: | Beirdo: exactly |
| [18:42:56] | Beirdo: | sweet |
| [18:43:50] | Seeker`: | I keep on getting tempted to write a new simple frontend that can do lots of shiny effects. But then I remember how much work it would be. |
| [18:44:13] | Beirdo: | if it does lots of shiny effects, it's no longer simple :) |
| [18:44:49] | Seeker`: | simple in terms of implemented screens :P |
| [18:45:27] | sphery: | wagnerrp: yeah, I didn't have a chance (nor a running box) to test, but at least he has other options |
| [18:45:34] | stuartm: | people keep talking about that, I really don't understand why they'd start from scratch instead of plugging in that stuff into the existing UI lib – from day one it was written to be extended with animation at a later date |
| [18:46:21] | Seeker`: | stuartm: the 'problem' I have with the UI lib isn't that it is hard to add animation, its that exposing new information on a given screen is a pain |
| [18:47:41] | stuartm: | actually that's easier than anything |
| [18:48:47] | stuartm: | especially with mapped strings/images/states |
| [18:50:00] | Seeker`: | stuartm: but you have to explicitly expose them for every window type. Like if you wanted to do a 'currently playing' widget whenever you aren't playing a video for AirPlay stuff, it would have to be implemented in 'menu', 'recordings', 'watch videos' etc. |
| [18:50:45] | stuartm: | Seeker`: not really, that's why we have screen stacks |
| [18:51:07] | stuartm: | unless I'm misunderstanding |
| [18:52:34] | stuartm: | fwiw, there's absolutely no reason we can't have a 'global' map too if we're talking about actually embedding that information directly into each screen |
| [18:55:20] | Seeker`: | last time I looked at writing stuff for the UI, the information you could display on a screen was goverened by what was made available in some c code, which is different for different screens. Like 'now playing' information about which video is playing is only available in osd.xml. Information about what videos are on the system are only available in the videos.xml file |
| [18:56:58] | Beirdo: | stuartm: I look forward to the fun new toys :) We should put our heads together and get mythgallery redone to the mythui stuff soon too, even if we temporarily lose the effects |
| [19:00:38] | stuartm: | Seeker`: right, since generally information displayed in one place isn't actually necessary or even wanted elsewhere, but there's nothing stopping us having some global information which can be pulled in/displayed in any screen |
| [19:00:49] | stuartm: | it's not difficult |
| [19:02:42] | Seeker`: | I think if you're talking about making it easier for people to write plugins etc. it might be useful to have some more information available globally in the UI |

| [19:52:39] | stichnot: | bill6502: thanks for the initial release notes page. I have some reasonably major caption/subtitle related changes that ought to be documented. I'd be happy to add them if you wouldn't mind creating a suitable section that I could populate. |
| [19:53:47] | skd5aner: | Beirdo: so... that said, what is the "official" stance? I've heard multiple opinions on which platforms are officially supported and which are best efforts – woudl be good to nail that down once and for all |
| [19:54:35] | Beirdo: | it would, yes |
| [19:55:00] | skd5aner: | bill6502: thanks so much for doing that... I've had a wild year, and it's nice to see someone step up since I haven't had a chance to keep it up this go around |
| [19:55:06] | Beirdo: | I shall bring that up officially :) |
| [19:55:49] | skd5aner: | stichnot: take a look at the 0.25 release notes, and then copy and paste the CC/subtitles section so that you can use the similiar format :) |
| [19:55:59] | skd5aner: | stichnot: thanks to you as well |

| [20:04:06] | stuartm: | 0.26 is a maintenance release? |
| [20:04:18] | Beirdo: | umm, no |
| [20:04:32] | stuartm: | heh, so says the release notes |
| [20:04:34] | Beirdo: | why would we release a maintenance release? |
| [20:04:44] | Beirdo: | that's what point releases are for, no? |
| [20:07:23] | bill6502: | stuartm: Beirdo, I'll fix that, thought I read here that it was to pick up things not available at 0.25 time. I didn't just want to put "None" for Key New Features. |
| [20:07:49] | Beirdo: | depends on what you call "key" |
| [20:10:02] | stichnot: | skd5aner: I think the current 0.26 is missing a big part of the skeleton of where subtitle changes should go, and I'm not ready to presume to add that skeleton yet... |
| [20:15:17] | dekarl: | would HLS*recorder* qualify as major new feature? maybe jya can add his list of streams as example? |
| [20:15:39] | Beirdo: | I would think that would be a major new feature, yes |
| [20:16:10] | Beirdo: | centralized logging server as well, but that's much behind the scenes, and most users will never care |
| [20:26:34] | bill6502: | I've got to leave the office now but I'll leave this up and try to add/change based on whats written here. The Maintenance Release comment is gone already. I think I see stichnot's commits and will look up the HLS recorder info. I felt the logging and UTC changes were (very) Major Changes as opposed to Key Features. |
| [20:27:57] | bill6502: | And, by the way, thanks for all of your hard work! |

| [20:42:18] | danielk22: | jya: An HLSStreamHandler will allow HLS to be handled in the new IPTVRecorder as just another source of data. |
