[00:00:47] danielk22: knightr: You're right about the context being stripped. I'm not sure why it is difficult to call where it is needed?

[00:07:35] knightr: I don't remember exactly in which screen I wanted to use it in but I was unable to satisfiy all the requirements for using it... I think the code I needed to modify was another library which diid/does not already depend on libmyth.
[00:09:54] knightr: The other thing I don't quite understand is why it's written like it's initializing something that needs to be intialized once to be used later, wouldn't having some methods that would have been called when we needed to lookup the translation for those group names have worked?
[00:11:45] jya_: danielk22: the CFLAGS difference between the two config.mak (master vs devel/resync) is that it contains two extra : -Werror=implicit-function-declaration -Werror=missing-prototypes
[00:13:33] jya_: could that explain the error about error: ‘time_t’ was not declared in this scope ?

[00:52:24] knightr: danielk22, BTW, unfortunately the context is QObject on those strings (some which I gradually want to get rid of0, the only difference is in the disambiguation string/old-style comment and even that is not identical for all the strings in each group.What I had more in mind for that more like having one method per group we want to get the translation for.
[00:54:06] knightr: The disambguation string *can* be part of the lookup (it's not currently as you saw) but it looks more like it was used like and old-style Qt comment (it's no longer the right way to comment nowadays...)

[01:26:13] jya_: skd5aner: have you tried with the latest ffmpeg? (and ffplay)
[01:27:38] skd5aner: jya: nope, I've avoided dealing with ffmpeg ever since myth decided to provide "mythffmpeg"
[01:28:38] skd5aner: I have a feeling this one might just be a corner case – where the file is just abnormally corrupted. I think I've seen it twice ever, but deleted the first one I had and haven't seen any new cases in the last 4 weeks
[01:28:56] skd5aner: I just found it odd that at least one other player could play it back fine
[01:42:55] danielk22: knightr: I think you are right about it being an old style Qt comment and not a context.
[01:44:57] danielk22: As for the initialization, it was just easier to do it all at once. For context you could either just add a 'context' param to i18n, or create separate translation functions, or even create separate classes so you don't use the QObject::tr().
[01:46:45] danielk22: If you don't use the QObject::tr() though it means the class holding the translations must be in header since it will be QObject derived, which means it can't be as closely tied to ProgramInfo as it is now, being in the same cpp. But if there is a need for these translations in libmythbase or libmythui as you mentioned that could be a good thing.
[01:47:58] danielk22: Anyway. The main thing is the i18n() function takes a QString and translates it and keeps all the translations for it in in one place.

[02:31:56] danielk22: jya_: http://pastebin.ca/2293043 <-- should fix the linux complaint. Untested.
[02:33:35] jya_: danielk22: that's a rather drastic change for what is probably just a missing header somewhere
[02:35:47] danielk22: time_t never should have been exposed there. The quick'n'dirty fix is to just include sys/time.h header, but it isn't a good fix.
[02:36:49] jya_: fair enough...
[02:39:40] danielk22: jya_: I think wagnerrp is going to need to look at the mytharchivehelper problem. It looks like it is actually system headers that can't find a bunch of time API related things, but they should be including whatever headers they need themselves. As far as I can tell our code is ok.
[02:39:54] dblain: wagnerrp; Currently the Service API has no way to specify required parameters... it could be added if truely needed. I always assumed the method would check for valid parameters and return an error if needed.
[02:40:23] jya_: danielk22: now i'm even more confused on why the buildbot is failing then
[02:40:30] jya_: when it works for master

[02:47:27] danielk22: no, i renamed the function so the compiler would catch any places i missed replacing.
[02:47:44] jya_: ok… then I get other type of errors
[02:48:48] jya_: http://pastebin.com/bXwGPVpm
[02:49:26] jya_: looks like it's just a matter of deleting the system myth library..
[02:50:10] danielk22: hmm, we shouldn't be linking with the system myth library.. there is a problem with the link path somewhere..
[02:50:40] danielk22: All our internal paths should be listed before system paths on the link line to prevent this type of problem..
[02:50:44] jya_: i've always had this issue on the mac, that's why the build script normally delete the libmyth* first
[02:51:54] danielk22: jya_: It is possible we need to do something different on the mac. With ldd it looks for libraries from left to right among the -L's
[02:54:18] danielk22: jya_: https://developer.apple.com/library/mac/#docu . . . n1/ld.1.html Looks like to get the desired behavior we'd need to remove the system paths with -Z and then re-add them later with -L

[03:32:41] danielk22: jya: It actually looks like time_t should be properly defined in C++ code if we use "#include <ctime>" In that case we should revert that patch I wrote and just include ctime...
[03:33:05] danielk22: This could be used to fix compilation of mythsystem.h as well.
[03:35:35] danielk22: On posix systems time_t should be either a int64_t or int32_t and on non-posix systems it must be a type supporting arithmatic operations (+,-,/,*)
[03:36:47] danielk22: In the microsoft compiler it is __int64 unless you define a special macro that makes it __int32

[12:25:11] jya: stuartm: are you there?
[12:36:38] jya: do we have to open the codec for every video streams in the file, even though we are only going to select one stream? can't we just fully ignore them ?

[12:57:05] stuartm: no, that's what my patch did, stopped it from initialising every codec
[12:57:51] jya: I had rewritten all that part… hold a sec… let me copy it here
[12:58:20] bas-t (bas-t!~tycho@52484E89.cm-4-1b.dynamic.ziggo.nl) has joined #mythtv
[12:59:23] jya: now I get errors during playback, about a codec not being initialised, like "AFD: No codec for stream index 2, type(Video) id(MJPEG:8)"
[12:59:42] jya: in AvFormatDecoder::GetFrame, I reads a packet, and tries to process it, no matter which stream first.
[12:59:59] jya: if it's the selected stream, then it will also try to display it.
[13:00:31] jya: actually my bad...
[13:00:41] stuartm: hmm, it should need to do that, I was unaware that it even tried to
[13:00:45] stuartm: shouldn't
[13:00:56] jya: looking at the code: if it's not the selected stream, it just ignores it
[13:01:00] jya: ok...
[13:01:07] jya: then my code is good then...
[13:01:51] stuartm: if (pkt->stream_index != selectedTrack[kTrackTypeVideo].av_stream_index)
[13:02:11] stuartm: that should prevent decoding of anything except the selected stream
[13:03:29] stuartm: there's no good reason for decoding all video streams simultaneously, danielk22 mentioned something about mheg utilising that behaviour but it's the first I've heard of it and I've never seen it in the wild
[13:04:09] stuartm: there is a very good reason for decoding multiple audio streams – that's something I want to implement in the future
[13:04:37] danielk22: stuartm: I don't think we support decoding multiple video streams in avformatdecoder.
[13:05:02] danielk22: We support switching between which video stream to decode.
[13:05:41] danielk22: But only for MHEG.
[13:07:44] jya: danielk22: is MHEG is video stream or a data one ?
[13:07:48] danielk22: data
[13:08:07] jya: ok, so the code we're talking about here is not applicable
[13:08:28] danielk22: I don't think so.
[13:09:14] danielk22: But it is possible we trick ffmpeg into changing the data to video.. I don't recall the mechanics of how it worked.
[13:10:20] danielk22: We need to collect samples of all the crazy stuff out in the wild for regression testing.

[13:10:28] stuartm: pretty sure it's unaffected and unrelated to the code we're modifying
[13:11:25] danielk22: Yeah, I think so too.
[13:11:45] jya: danielk22: stuartm : ok here is my take on it
[13:11:45] jya: http://pastebin.com/rEXiCdwF
[13:12:11] danielk22: stuartm: How much is mheg used in the UK?
[13:12:47] jya: what I do is scan all the streams at once. for audio and subtitle, the code is opened for every stream like it used to be… for video streams, I only do that once we've parsed all the streams
[13:13:16] jya: then I search for the best video streams, select it, and only open the codec and init the video output for that stream, and only that one
[13:13:44] jya: the streams that aren't selected, aren't even added to the list of "tracks"
[13:14:13] danielk22: jya: I think that works better in concept. But this patch isn't very readable wrt to seeing what changed.
[13:14:41] danielk22: Is it indentation changes or ordering that doesn't allow diff to show just the changes?
[13:14:43] jya: ok… i basically only moved the existing code, to be done only outside of the loop
[13:15:06] jya: and do so after selecting which video stream to use
[13:15:26] jya: oh, and another thing is that I don't interrupt the scan if a stream is found to not be handled, I just ignore it
[13:16:13] jya: the patch is really just two blocks… what is removed, and what is added. Both really are identical, just shifted down
[13:16:48] jya: and then I simplified the code in regards to opening the codec, because it was common code in a few place
[13:17:40] jya: all i can say, is that it works. including the trailers I played with that contains a MJPEG stream that confused myth yesterday
[13:18:55] jya: the differece with stuartm approach, is that it doesn't stop after the first video stream, it reads them all, and select the "best" one (that is according to ffmpeg utility functions)
[13:19:00] danielk22: jya: Commit it to the ffmpeg branch when you are happy with it and I'll do a careful review there. Sounds good.
[13:20:06] jya: what shits me, is that the bug I'm really after and that lead me to look into the whole thing, isn't even fixed. For some reasons, some videos don't play via Storage Group since my last june ffmpeg resync
[13:20:19] jya: it works on all my other machine, but my mac mini
[13:20:20] stuartm: danielk22: heh, it's widely used by broadcasters, especially the BBC and increasingly so, the BBC have just launched a new service using MHEG – http://www.bbc.co.uk/mediacentre/latestnews/2 . . . dbutton.html
[13:20:44] jya: stuartm: do you have a stream I could test? and how do I select the various mheg bit ?
[13:21:33] jya: the BBC is so much in advance compare to everyone else really
[13:21:33] stuartm: whether it's actually used much on a daily basis by viewers I don't know, I imagine it gets used for weather and stuff like lottery results, possibly during major sporting events to switch between events/angles

[13:22:15] jya: stuartm: so when you select a program in the menu, where does it get it from?
[13:22:36] stuartm: jya: yeah I can provide some stuff, F2 is default bound to Red (red button is most often used to access the MHEG service be it a menu or otherwise)
[13:23:12] stuartm: jya: it retunes usually to another channel, but this latest stuff is backed by http – so it starts streaming
[13:23:23] jya: interesting

[14:37:35] stuartm: invalid meaning <= 0
[14:38:23] stuartm: we should probably catch that when parsing though
[14:38:46] stuartm: it would help to know which theme and which screen in particular is causing the warning to be displayed
[14:39:19] stuartm: ah, pbb, so we just need to know the theme
[14:40:46] stichnot: I'm assuming (hoping) that the repeated restart of "Build background buttonlist item 0" messages just means he's exiting and re-entering the pbb
[14:41:53] sphery: stichnot: I've been thinking of marking it "works as designed, but in the future we may add additional user-configurability" sound good?

[14:44:05] stichnot: stuartm: thanks, I'll start the triage
[14:46:36] sphery: bsilvereagle: not those patches, but some different patches such that it generally does what users want, but only for specifically-handled-in-code cases (like the guide jump point)
[14:49:00] bsilvereagle: sphery: I'm hitting guide on my remote and not getting that effect. So idk what's up. Is there a specifc code lirc should be throwing other than "s" ?
[14:49:07] stichnot: stuartm: unlikely to have a textedit widget in the pbb. Would that apply for textarea widgets?

[20:24:14] stichnot: tgm4883: no, I thought it would be better for a regular user of the theme to file a bug
[20:35:48] sphery: gigem: do we want "this channel" in there? Why not just "Record only this showing", "Record all showings" and "Record with options"?
[20:36:42] stuartm: gigem: here in the UK the selection is along the lines of "Record (this program)" and "Record Series"
[20:36:44] sphery: at least now--when we have channel recording rules tied to the callsign of the channel with the stored-in-rule recordingid, channel rules cause problems when the users rescan and get new chanids, so I'd prefer we don't make them seem the right choice until we change the record table to store the actual callsign value (and not the channel id) being used for matching "this channel" rules (which is something I'd like to do, eventually)
[20:37:38] gigem: sphery: I forgot to ask which option between kAllRecord and kChannelRecord should be offered.
[20:39:14] stuartm: sphery: even callsign is problematic, we get occasional rebrands of channels here in the UK, same content but different name
[20:40:05] stuartm: it's much better than chanid which is not remotely stable
[20:40:45] gigem: chanid hasn't been used in at least 9 years.

[20:43:39] stuartm: I've only ever used channel recordings as a poor man's repeat filter or to prevent recording of a programme with the same name shown elsewhere (this wouldn't be a problem if we keyed off series id instead of title)

[20:44:55] gigem: We could just bite the bullet and offer both channel and all options. That would mean 4 options in the new dialog. I wouldn't want any more than that, though. The problem I have with the all instead of channel option, is that channel is the correct choice most of the time here in the states.

[20:58:17] stuartm: the only thing holding me back on that is that I know, without a shadow of doubt, that there will be dozens of differing opinions on which actions get assigned in each context, this will eventually lead to it being made configurable and yet more configuration screens
[21:06:43] stichnot: stuartm: flexible key idea?
[21:12:34] stuartm: stichnot: maybe better that I don't explain it at length, as anyone here can tell you I have no shortage of ideas but only a few of them ever get done :)

[21:15:57] stichnot: stuartm: it piqued my interest because of #10581 which allows user-defined "hot keys" but only in the Playback OSD
[21:15:57] ** MythLogBot http://code.mythtv.org/trac/ticket/10581 **
[21:18:39] stuartm: stichnot: ok, basic idea is to have four global keys which perform different actions in each screen, an on-screen key indicates what they do, this is a very familiar concept here in the UK going back to the dawn of Teletext 20+ years ago – http://miffteevee.co.uk/imagebin/mheg2.png http://miffteevee.co.uk/imagebin/mimic_foxsat2.png http://miffteevee.co.uk/imagebin/BBC%20MHEG%206.jpg
[21:20:20] stuartm: I'd ultimately combine it with a theme for UK users using the colour keys which we're all so familiar with, obviously those keys aren't available on many remotes in the US
[21:46:06] stichnot: stuartm: Interesting. Also complementary to 10581 since a user is unlikely to want a color key showing during playback
[21:48:26] sphery_: stuartm / gigem: (I got lost in the netsplit) yeah, I'd like to eventually change the record table to store the callsign value rather than the chanid used to find the chanid.callsign, and if we do that, we could also add a notification in Manage Rules screen (or, eventually, when we get the generic notification mechanism... ;) that tells you if a callsign is no longer valid (i.e. after you rescan, none of your channels have the stored ...
[21:48:32] sphery_: ... callsign), so you can go in and select the new callsign in the recording rule (from a button list of available callsigns) and/or edit your channels to put the callsigns back to your prefered values

[21:51:27] sphery: stuartm: also, your 4-key idea fits well with my plan for extension of the key bindings to support "inheritance" so to speak--where, rather than saying, "use key P", you can say, "inherit keylist from Global/FLEXKEY1", which would allow you to set suggested defaults and then users to remap
[21:51:43] sraue (sraue!~stephan@xbmc/staff/sraue) has quit (Ping timeout: 260 seconds)
[21:52:40] sphery: I see it as allowing me to do things like unroll our key overloading--where chanup/chandown are currently hard-coded to do something other than change channels in recording playback (because you're not in Live TV), but the user can't change it to do something else they use more often
[21:52:53] gigem: sphery: Methinks you misunderstand. The chanid stored in record is not user for anything, AFAIK. The "callsign" is already saved directly in record as record.station. Having a way simply change a no longer valid callsign/station would be nice. It can already be done, though in a round about way — change the rules to kAllRecord so it matches a showing on the new channel, edit the rule through that showing
[21:52:55] gigem: and then change the rule back ti kChannelRecord.
[21:56:11] stichnot: sphery: does your plan combine key bindings and menu customization, or are those separate?
[21:56:13] sphery: yeah, that's the approach that I've recommended people use to update them (though I tell them the "change it back to a channel rule" part is optional :). I didn't realize that we were already using station, though--so that's nice.
[21:57:00] sphery: stichnot: just key bindings for now... I see menu customization as something done through menu themes (and fully believe OSD menu should also be themed :)
[21:58:43] stichnot: I think either themed OSD menus or my "hot menu" customization could come very close to making the mythical 5-button remote usable.
[21:59:47] sraue (sraue!~stephan@xbmc/staff/sraue) has joined #mythtv
[22:00:09] sphery: yeah, agreed
[22:04:27] jpabq_: gigem: I would consider a "find one" option, as long as that also set the "this episode" flag.
[22:07:38] peper03 (peper03!~peper03@port-92-203-34-138.dynamic.qsc.de) has joined #mythtv
[22:09:22] stuartm: fwiw I think 'Find one' should replace 'This Showing' but as jpabq_ suggests, it should restrict it to that exact episode
[22:10:02] gigem: jpabq_: Hey, someone else uses that nice little option! That's probably not common enough of a case to merit being on the "simple" dialog. That might be suitable for the context-sensitive menu, though.
[22:10:05] stuartm: e.g. options become "Record this episode", "Record this series" etc
[22:11:48] gigem: stuartm: Hmm, that might work. "Record this episode" if it's not generic and "Record this showing" if it is.
[22:12:55] gigem: Of course, probably not everyone has generics marked.
[22:15:06] stuartm: gigem: well there are other distinguishing characteristics of what is or isn't generic, the presence of a subtitle or a series id
[22:17:14] stuartm: but if we can pull it off, having it switch like that would be very neat and in keeping with the intent of this feature
[22:17:24] gigem: If you have that information, your grabber should be setting program.generic, then. That's what the ScheduleDirect grabber does.
[22:17:38] stuartm: gigem: it might do, I'd have to check on that
[22:18:36] stuartm: anything marked as a movie (film) would show "Record this movie" or simply "Record this" I guess, since it's neither generic nor an episode
[22:20:34] gigem: Program? Specials and possibly some other things besides Movies/Films would fall into that category.
[22:22:39] Chutt: simplifying the recording options?
[22:26:30] gigem: Chutt: Kind of. I made a change recently to reduce the number of applicable rule types. This discussion is adding a dialog menu with only the most basic and common options when a new rules is being created instead of going straight to the rule editor. It would be similar to how a dialog is brought when you press SELECT on a program that is already scheduled.
[22:29:17] Chutt: that stuff's overcomplicated and due for an overhaul, so, cool =)
[22:31:07] gigem: Yeah. That's why I'm trying to do it. The trick is to not lose any significant functionality. So far, I've been successful.
[22:32:18] Chutt: have you looked at how, say, wmc presents its recording options?
[22:33:01] stuartm: Chutt: we've looked at how various DVR operate, though I've personally never played with wmc
[22:34:43] Chutt: since i've had to use it because of silly copy-once rules :(
[22:35:34] Chutt: but they do a good job of presenting things very simply, yet still have enough customizability that i haven't had issues
[22:36:04] gigem: I looked a little over a year ago. Feature wise, it was pretty equivalent to TiVo. For simplicity, I kind of like my Mom's FIOS DVR. It' perhaps not quite as featureful as WMC/TiVo, but it close and it's pretty simple to use. That's what I'm shooting for, but again, without the loss of power that still sets MythTV apart, IMHO.
[22:37:18] taylorr: Chutt: you mean you use WMC now?
[22:37:29] Chutt: yeah, since i want to record stuff in hd
[22:38:31] gigem: Is FIOS available in your area? Generally, everything except the premium movie channels are copy-freely.
[22:38:35] Chutt: nope
[22:38:43] taylorr: Chutt: gotta love TWC :)
[22:38:51] Chutt: it's twc or broadcast
[22:39:22] gigem: I've got some un-unsed HD-PVRs you can buy! :)
[22:39:35] Chutt: heh
[22:39:39] gigem: s/un-unsed/no longer used/
[22:39:46] Chutt: 3x cable box rentals would be crazy expensive compared to one cablecard
[22:39:57] taylorr: I've read threads where a local TWC agreed to relax the copy flags until corporate found out and told them no
[22:40:20] Chutt: my local office didn't know what a cablecard was earlier in the year
[22:40:28] Chutt: so i don't think they'll understand 'copy flags' =)
[22:40:39] taylorr: I switched to directv with 2x HD boxes... only $6/month for the extra box
[22:41:19] Chutt: i'm just dumping cable once my bundle pricing runs out, anyway
[22:41:54] taylorr: good decision... I don't like cable operators at all... directv has been a pleasure to deal with so far
[22:43:04] Chutt: that said – wmc does a decent amount of ui things pretty nicely
[22:44:09] taylorr: does it still require XBOXs for remote frontends?
[22:44:19] Chutt: there's a new one out from ceton
[22:44:38] Chutt: but you only need the extender if you're wanting to watch copy-once stuff, iirc

[23:05:44] taylorr: do you still have channels with the changing frame rates?
[23:10:59] dekarl: gigem, thanks. Looking at the messages reveals to many details I'd rather not know :) (like programid not being a unique key without partnumber :/
[23:11:19] gigem: taylorr: Yes, any 720p channel that allows the cable provider to insert commercials has rate changes.
[23:12:07] gigem: dekarl: :) and yw.
[23:17:10] stichnot: taylorr, gigem: yeah, the idea of fixing time display for position/duration/seeking, based on a precomputed markup, has me fired up at the moment
[23:19:45] stichnot: the nice thing is that it won't affect playback, avsync, etc. at all, so I can test locally with manually inserted markup and make sure duration/position looks suitably wacky, before moving to the next step of getting the recorder and mythcommflag to generate the markup
