[00:00:00] SarahEmm: and are you sure dma is on on your hard drive?
[00:00:00] mirak_: I think it is
[00:00:00] mirak_: the cpu is not craming
[00:00:00] mchou: bobc: pvr 150 has great pic quality, except for channel 2. moy othere card have OK (but not stellar quality) for all channels.
[00:00:00] mirak_: I mean it's not to 100%
[00:00:00] SarahEmm: mirak: err, you're not maxing out your CPU, but it's a bad framerate?
[00:00:00] mirak_: I have a seagate ide 250G hard drive
[00:00:00] SarahEmm: that's odd.
[00:00:00] mirak_: yes
[00:00:00] SarahEmm: check with hdparm?
[00:01:00] mchou: bobc: so whenever a show on channel two, I want to use card 3 :)
[00:01:00] mchou: otherise use cards 1 and 2 :)
[00:01:00] SarahEmm: mirak: what resolution?
[00:01:00] mirak_: UDMA modes: udma0 udma1 udma2 udma3 udma4 *udma5
[00:01:00] mirak_: AdvancedPM=no WriteCache=enabled
[00:01:00] rtsai1111: mchou: what if you set up two separate lineups?
[00:01:00] mirak_: SarahEmm: how can I know the resolution ?
[00:02:00] mirak_: playback is for sure in 1240*1024, but I don't know for capture
[00:02:00] bobc: mchou: yeah, I think you're out of luck
[00:03:00] bobc: mchou: but on a positive note, there may be a work around for the remote issue I have for the PVR150
[00:03:00] dhofstra (~dhofstra@c-24-7-238-28.hsd1.in.comcast.net) Quit (Remote closed the connection)
[00:03:00] bobc: doesn't that make you feel better...
[00:03:00] SarahEmm: mirak: it's in either mythsetup or somewhere in the config part of the frontend..
[00:03:00] mchou: nah, I'm not out of luck. as rtsai1111 says I can have two separate line-ups. No channel 2 for pvr150 :(
[00:03:00] SarahEmm: under recording in the frontend maybe?
[00:04:00] ** gnarface yawn **
[00:04:00] gnarface: how many times can i recompile gcc with -march=athlon-xp and -O3 before it segfaults every time i try to compile something?
[00:05:00] mirak_: bobc: I have found the capture settings, where I can set mpeg4 settings
[00:05:00] mirak_: etctera
[00:05:00] mchou: bobc: heh, told you something will come around :)
[00:05:00] mirak_: but how do I enable the mode I want among the presets ?
[00:06:00] mchou: gnarface: why you want to compile for march=athlon-xp is boyond me.
[00:06:00] mirak_: SarahEmm: I think that the problem comes from the video card that can't capture at this resolution
[00:06:00] Agrajag-: gnarface: lemme guess, gentoo
[00:07:00] mchou: Agrajag-: what gave you that clue? :)
[00:07:00] Agrajag-: gee.. i dunno :P

[00:07:00] SarahEmm: mirak: okay....
[00:07:00] mchou: gnarface: common problem only for gentoo :)
[00:08:00] Agrajag-: well the common problem is gentoo users who like to compile everythign with flags they don't understand
[00:08:00] gnarface: [Klatuu]: no, but if you figure out how to do that let me know
[00:08:00] [Klatuu]: mmmk
[00:09:00] CygnusX1_: gcc -o wall x5 r3 q1 'kitchen sink'
[00:09:00] Agrajag-: haha
[00:10:00] SarahEmm: lol
[00:10:00] gnarface: Agrajag-: i'm aware of the relative recklessness of the settings. i'm just trying to correlate my experiences with anyone else's. it could be bad ram too you know.
[00:11:00] mchou: lol.
[00:11:00] mchou: bad ram.
[00:11:00] mirak_: anyone know how to change the capture resolution ?
[00:11:00] mchou: yeah, that's the first thing I suspect when compiler craps out on me :)
[00:12:00] gnarface: mirak_: did you try ivtvctl -f width=720,height=480
[00:12:00] gnarface: mchou: obviously you don't use athlons much.
[00:13:00] mchou: lol, I only have 3 athlonXPs at home :)
[00:14:00] Esotericisms: j-rod you around?

[00:15:00] braniff: what does WriteAudio: buffer underrun mean ??
[00:17:00] kormoc: usually it means it can't write to the buffer fast enough
[00:17:00] agile (~mike@cavok2226.august.net) Quit (Remote closed the connection)
[00:17:00] braniff: ok
[00:17:00] Ashlar: got a problem, hope someone can help... When I go into livetv, I can change sources via 'Y', no problem.. but when I try to change channels on any of the three cards, from four different remote frontends, the video / audio stops.
[00:18:00] Ashlar: If I hit escape twice, I can get back to the myth menu, so the box isn't locked up. While the video / audio is frozen, I can see the ringbuffer increasing in size, and when I hit escape twice, it gets deleted. (so I din't think it's a permissions issue with the livetv buffer).
[00:18:00] mirak_: gnarface: I don't have this
[00:19:00] Ashlar: I've wiped out the settings and started from scratch.. no joy.. cranked up the debug on the backend, nothing jumps out.. frontend segfaults on -v all or -v channel
[00:19:00] rtsai1111: Ashlar: why don't you try simplifying down to a single card in a combined fe/be?
[00:19:00] Ashlar: actually, let me try it from the backend's mythfrontend (never use it)
[00:20:00] braniff: how do I get rid of WriteAudio: buffer underrun ??
[00:20:00] ** braniff feels lucky **
[00:21:00] kormoc: figure out what's causing it and fix it :P
[00:22:00] braniff: heh
[00:22:00] mirak_: seems the capture card died ot soemthing
[00:22:00] mirak_: how to reainitialise it ?

[00:24:00] braniff: reboot?
[00:24:00] Ashlar: well dip me in chocolate and call me a fatsicle.. it works from the backend's mythfrontend
[00:24:00] kormoc: that would be a waste of chocolate :P
[00:25:00] Esotericisms: damn piece of shit ATI cards
[00:25:00] kormoc: yup
[00:25:00] Ashlar: so the question is.. why can the local frontend change channels and the remote ones can't
[00:25:00] mirak_: wow nice
[00:26:00] mirak_: braniff: no, cable prolem
[00:26:00] mirak_: problem
[00:27:00] ** braniff thinks that if he idles here long enough, his problem will just go away **
[00:27:00] braniff: bah! buffer underrun
[00:27:00] rtsai1111: Can't help you there; I only have a combined FE/BE.
[00:28:00] rtsai1111: Ashlar: since you have so many FEs, how about you send me one. I'll figure out what's wrong, and tell you how to fix your other FEs :).
[00:29:00] Ashlar: lol.. blame it on the wife.. 1 fe per tv (of course, 2 are xboxes)
[00:29:00] rtsai1111: Esotericism: why not just shell out the $50 for an nVidia FX5200 (or less for an MX400 or something) be done with it? Use your ATI card for something else.
[00:30:00] rtsai1111: Ashlar: then you can send me a TV as well, to satisfy your "one FE per TV" rule.
[00:30:00] rtsai1111: as long as I'm flying blind, I'd just suggest you concentrate on the PC FE before tackling the xbox FE problems.
[00:30:00] SarahEmm: heh
[00:30:00] ** SarahEmm just got her xbox FE finally up and running today **
[00:31:00] SarahEmm: it's so much more natural of an interface to use a remote than a keyboard..
[00:31:00] Ashlar: well, the xbox's work great other than this livetv thing.. playback recordings great, music, etc etc
[00:31:00] ** rtsai1111 has a remote for his PC **
[00:31:00] SarahEmm: rtsai1111: true.. this is my only FE with a remote tho, others have wireless keyboards instead
[00:32:00] ** rtsai1111 hasn't taught the remote the IR keyboard codes yet, so is actually still using a wireless keyboard **
[00:32:00] Ashlar: I love my irman + rs 15–2116
[00:32:00] rtsai1111: ashlar: are you using jp1 with that?
[00:32:00] Ashlar: you know it
[00:33:00] rtsai1111: I have an RS 15–2116 that I've been meaning to use with JP1 and a wireless keyboard IR receiver.
[00:33:00] rtsai1111: Is it easy?
[00:33:00] dhofstra: I've always been amazed that rpm packages for (Suse and Mandrake at least) dont seem to have a configuration available to tell LIRC that your homebrew reciever is also a transmitter
[00:33:00] Esotericisms: rtsai1111, that is what I am going to have to do
[00:33:00] rtsai1111: I've bought the JP1 cable and stuff, but then my PSU decided to crap out on me.
[00:33:00] dhofstra: JP1 is awesome
[00:33:00] Ashlar: via jp1, I was able to learn some of the buttons that are otherwise 'unlearnable'.. like scan
[00:33:00] dhofstra: I love the extenders
[00:33:00] rtsai1111: which was more painful: jp1 or mythtv?
[00:34:00] dcfogg: so Im still here and still have the same problem.........if anyone can help???please help .........I can have sound with live tv if I unmute the Line input but it doesn't shut down when I close MythTV ....if I mute Line input I get no sound and there seems to be no way to enable capture on the line input
[00:34:00] Ashlar: myth, by far.. jp1 is easy, other than finding the right software / resources on the net.. there is a lot of link rot when you find a jp1 site
[00:34:00] dhofstra: err.. tough choice .. jp1 wasnt so painful as it was tedius getting my remote setup just right (I am a perfectionist)
[00:34:00] rtsai1111: anyone using jp1 and wireless keyboard IR that wouldn't mind sharing their jp1 configuration?
[00:35:00] mirak_: do you have any advice to have fine interlaced capture with mpeg4 ?
[00:35:00] Ashlar: rtsai1111: interesting idea.. I know that the rs 15–2116 is a
[00:36:00] Ashlar: err is a powerful IR output.. never thought about using it with an IR kb receiver
[00:36:00] SarahEmm: mirak: fine interlaced capture?
[00:36:00] Ashlar: would kinda cut out the middle man.. no need for lirc
[00:36:00] SarahEmm: i'm running MPEG4 here.. seems that there's not many of us left doing software encoding
[00:37:00] rtsai1111: yeah, but mythtv and xine are fully lirc-aware. No need to reconfigure xine keybindings
[00:37:00] rtsai1111: and you'd have to fiddle with window manager keybindings if you want to program a key to do anything non-myth-related.
[00:37:00] braniff: what's the best hardware encoder to buy anyway?
[00:37:00] rtsai1111: but the keyboard is too nice to have when typing stuff in like "synaesthesia" for configuring mythmusic
[00:38:00] SarahEmm: braniff: the only supported ones are the hauppauge PVR-xxx ones
[00:38:00] SarahEmm: the -250 and -350 are the oldest and most stable.. the -150 and -500 are new
[00:38:00] SarahEmm: the -150 seems a lot of people are using now
[00:38:00] SarahEmm: the -500 i've not heard of anyone using in production yet..
[00:38:00] SarahEmm: i'm still software encoding :)
[00:39:00] kormoc: yay for bttv!
[00:39:00] braniff: yeah i've got one of those WinTV Go things too
[00:39:00] mirak_: problem with my card is that when I go above 288 in height, it's insterlaced capture

[00:40:00] Agrajag-: well deinterlace it (in the capture settings)
[00:40:00] mirak_: the results are really not good
[00:41:00] braniff: hmm i see a PVR-150 for $99 US.
[00:41:00] SarahEmm: yep
[00:41:00] SarahEmm: they're cheeap :)
[00:41:00] SarahEmm: the -500 is dual-tuner

[00:42:00] Bob-Laptop: braniff: I got mine for $60 after rebates
[00:42:00] SarahEmm: there's a few disadvantages, but overall hardware encoding seems to be the way to go
[00:42:00] braniff: yeah this bttv bs is getting old
[00:42:00] Agrajag-: nah dvb is :)

[00:43:00] SarahEmm: i've had no issues with mine other than not being able to go dual-tuner because of CPU load
[00:43:00] gnarface: uh oh
[00:43:00] gnarface: you just said the wrong thing braniff
[00:43:00] Bob-Laptop: opello: I looked at the 500s, but I chose 3 150s for about the same money
[00:44:00] ** gnarface ducks **
[00:44:00] fryfrog: dang, someone said my name a long time ago :/
[00:44:00] opello: Bob-Laptop: you must have gotten quite a deal on them? i guess i read about all the issues with the different versions of the 150 that it scared me into getting a 500 — and all i've got is a pundit, so pretty much 1 usable slot as far as length
[00:45:00] ** braniff is blaming his problems on bttv **
[00:45:00] braniff: specifically that buffer underrun and myth crashing problems
[00:45:00] Bob-Laptop: opello: well the three cards were 180 after rebates,
[00:45:00] opello: ah
[00:46:00] Bob-Laptop: opello: so far they have worked great
[00:46:00] SarahEmm: braniff: well, i'm running bttv here with 0.18-r1 and have no issues
[00:46:00] opello: cool :) no big problems with my 500 either
[00:46:00] braniff: what soundcard, SarahEmm ?
[00:46:00] Bob-Laptop: opello: I have a pile of small desktops I am using for backends
[00:47:00] SarahEmm: braniff: my bttv card supports btaudio
[00:47:00] SarahEmm: so none :)
[00:47:00] opello: neat, i guess i never thought of multiple backends — but that doesn't really work for moving as often as i will be for the next few years :/
[00:48:00] braniff: yeah! that's a great idea! btaudio
[00:48:00] braniff: that's the next thing to try
[00:48:00] SarahEmm: some cards support it, but most seem to not

[00:48:00] SarahEmm: the ATI TV Wonder (original, plain, no VE Pro CX or whatever) supports it
[00:48:00] braniff: mine does, because i used to run it w/ 0.15
[00:49:00] SarahEmm: oh
[00:49:00] SarahEmm: why did you stop?
[00:49:00] braniff: i really don't remember why i stopped heh
[00:49:00] SarahEmm: heh okay
[00:49:00] SarahEmm: works very well for me
[00:49:00] SarahEmm: hardware encoding would be nice 'cuz i wouldn't be limited to one tuner like you are with bttv unless you have lots of cpu or multiple boxes
[00:50:00] [Klatuu] (~blah@206.63.6.222) has joined #mythtv-users
[00:51:00] fryfrog: or multiple soundcards
[00:52:00] SarahEmm: true, but as long as your cards support btaudio that's not an issue
[00:54:00] dcfogg: what would dmesg look like if my card works with btaudio if that is the same as module tvaudio???
[00:54:00] fryfrog: ah, true
[00:54:00] SarahEmm: i dunno what tvaudio is
[00:55:00] fryfrog: dcfogg: you would modprobe the btaudio driver and if you can get sound from it, it works :)
[00:55:00] SarahEmm: btaudio just won't produce any sound if your card doesn't support it
[00:55:00] fryfrog: it'll load for any bttv card, but if you don't get sound from it it don't support it :)
[00:55:00] dcfogg: I don't know if I have that module built
[00:56:00] SarahEmm: it's OSS..
[00:56:00] SarahEmm: at least only the OSS one works for me
[00:56:00] fryfrog: there is an alsa module of the same name

[02:55:00] Randall64: So I've got a 2005fpw on the way for my office, but now I want a device to capture hdtv.
[02:56:00] maddhaggis: or is it passthru only?
[02:56:00] Randall64: maddhaggis: That'd happen at a layer above alsa, wouldn't it?
[02:56:00] maddhaggis: ???
[02:56:00] Randall64: There are ac3 libraries at least, but alsa does 5.1 audio afaik.
[02:57:00] Randall64: You could also pass through.
[02:57:00] Randall64: That reminds, I need that header for my athlon64.
[02:57:00] Randall64: spdif
[02:58:00] maddhaggis: the audigy 2 supports dts and dolby digital decoding, I was just wondering if that support was available for linux
[02:59:00] dcfogg: fryfrog, can you help me with the settings for snd-bt87x???
[02:59:00] fryfrog: dcfogg: i can only guess and hope i'm right, all i have are 4x pvr 250 hardware mpeg2 cards
[03:00:00] fryfrog: soon to be only 3!
[03:00:00] dcfogg: well I don't use the patch cable with it do I???
[03:01:00] fryfrog: if the bt87x driver WORKS, you wouldn't
[03:01:00] fryfrog: if it doesn't you'll have to :/
[03:01:00] maddhaggis: where in ivtv can i adjust my tuner options?
[03:01:00] fryfrog: wtf, the guy from sopranos is on L&O?
[03:02:00] dcfogg: well I have the backend videocard set to /dev/sound/dsp1 and the frontend set to the soundcard and I am getting nothing
[03:02:00] fryfrog: you can try googling for your exact card to see if it *should* work with bt87x
[03:03:00] fryfrog: i had two bttv cards, neither worked with the btaudio driver
[03:03:00] dcfogg: ok ;-)
[03:03:00] maddhaggis: did you change the levels in your mixer?
[03:03:00] fryfrog: oh, easy tests
[03:03:00] fryfrog: you can use something like tvtime maybe?
[03:03:00] fryfrog: and get rid of the complexity that mythtv is for testing if you simply should have working soudn ;)
[03:03:00] fryfrog: tvtime or ummm

[03:12:00] fryfrog: are you running mythfrontend as root or a normal user?
[03:12:00] EricAnderson: normal
[03:13:00] fryfrog: if normal user, try doing "chmod +s `which mythfrontend`"
[03:13:00] fryfrog: that'll let mythfrontend spawn its important threads with realtime priority and can fix some unsmoothness
[03:13:00] EricAnderson: that'll speed it up
[03:13:00] EricAnderson: But thats a serious security flaw
[03:13:00] fryfrog: do you use your mythbox for anything high end?
[03:14:00] GreyFoxx: not every setuid app is a security problem

[03:15:00] EricAnderson: Let me ask you this... it appears as if I got my program channels just fine, but show data isnt here
[03:15:00] fryfrog: the nice thing though is that it doesn't run EVERYTHING as root
[03:15:00] fryfrog: just playback threads

[03:16:00] Randall64: Put mythtv on an emachine and forget about it.
[03:16:00] EricAnderson: Is there a typical problem with program guide data? In which you can get the channels but not the show data?

[06:59:00] sidd: but i think i get your point
[06:59:00] sidd: does it have anything to do with the refresh rate of h/v freq of te tv?
[07:00:00] gnarface: sidd: if you're getting a display and those values are just a *little* off then yes, you could have the improper h/v freq settings
[07:00:00] sidd: but then, a 2.6.9 kernel with 0.3.3k drivers works fine except for no sound in tuner.

[07:03:00] gnarface: huh?
[07:03:00] gnarface: this doesn't seem to make any sense.

[07:04:00] sidd: tuner -> pvr150 -> streaming server (ethernet) ->network (multicast) -> settop box -> Television
[07:04:00] gnarface: ...
[07:04:00] gnarface: ok
[07:04:00] gnarface: i really don't know much about multicast
[07:05:00] gnarface: but what i do know is that somewhere there is a video card sending a signal to that tv
[07:05:00] gnarface: you need to figure out which computer that video card is in
[07:05:00] gnarface: and then make sure its software is configured correctly for the tv
[07:05:00] sidd: the streaming server has some kind of a mechanism wherein if i specify channel as 20 then the settop box will display the stream on channel 20 (selected via remote on the set top box)
[07:06:00] sidd: gnarface, if it were the tv or the streaming s/w, how could kernel 2.6.9 with the 3.3k drivers work fine?
[07:06:00] gnarface: dear god
[07:06:00] gnarface: how should i know?
[07:06:00] sidd: now, 3.3k drivers with 2.6.11 still gives larger than tv images.
[07:06:00] sidd: :)
[07:06:00] sidd: rhetorically speaking.
[07:07:00] gnarface: ok
[07:07:00] gnarface: so it all used to work?
[07:07:00] gnarface: one might suggest you just don't poke it
[07:07:00] gnarface: i don't know anything about that settop box
[07:07:00] j-rod is now known as j-rod|afk
[07:07:00] gnarface: so it's gotta be part of the problem
[07:07:00] gnarface: first thing's first
[07:07:00] gnarface: you need to figure out which video card has ultimate control of the tv
[07:08:00] gnarface: if a kernel change broke it, then it seems more likely you've got a directfb config problem, since if it was an S
[07:08:00] gnarface: and X server issue
[07:08:00] gnarface: then the config would be kernel independant
[07:08:00] gnarface: what exactly is the set-top box?
[07:09:00] gnarface: another computer just running mythfrontend?
[07:09:00] gnarface: and then putting the output to a composite out?
[07:09:00] sidd: it is an inhouse development.
[07:09:00] gnarface: and you changed the kernel on the *back* end box?
[07:09:00] gnarface: hmm.
[07:09:00] sidd: gnarface, yes, as i wan not getting any audio in tuner in this kernel+driver combination.
[07:10:00] gnarface: sidd: i've told you all i can really, considering your setup there's a lot of variables i'm in the dark on.
[07:10:00] gnarface: something doesn't make sense though. check for things that might have changed without your knowlege
[07:11:00] gnarface: check to make sure for example the new kernel config didn't overwrite any modules for video card drivers
[07:11:00] gnarface: check also the actual resolution of the recordings and the playback settings
[07:12:00] sidd: gnarface, thanks anyways. the previous developer told me it was the same with kernel2.6.9 also, but a driver upgrade to 0.3.3k ivtv solved it. will work in that direction then.'

[08:27:00] TV_Dunce: maybe only me, a rqw newbie
[08:27:00] matmrosko: do you know where more information is stored about recordings? i've grabbed a frew shows from a friend

[08:29:00] mirak: why there is no DVB-T-S-C card ?
[08:29:00] fryfrog: Terrestial, Satalite, Cable?
[08:29:00] Agrajag-: you want one card that does all 3?
[08:29:00] DSL_MTLCA: fryfrog-> that's what i'm asking... where is all recorded info hidden? i have "recorded" and i re comm-flagged it, so i have "recordedmarkup" for it too...
[08:30:00] TV_Dunce: tvtime shows a picture
[08:30:00] fryfrog: if thats what you mean, sounds like you should talk to hardware companies not #mythtv :)
[08:30:00] fryfrog: DSL_MTLCA: I think there are like 5 or 6 tables you'll need
[08:30:00] ** TV_Dunce must be on ignore :( **
[08:30:00] fryfrog: when i rebuilt, i just DIDN'T keep the settings related tables
[08:30:00] mirak: Agrajag-: yes
[08:31:00] mirak: fryfrog: yes
[08:31:00] Agrajag-: mirak: where are you that has all 3?
[08:31:00] TV_Dunce: but, i can't get sound in tvtime either, just a picture
[08:31:00] mirak: I have cable, and there is also hertzian numeric
[08:31:00] TV_Dunce: anyone have aclue ?
[08:31:00] mirak: and since it's expensive, why not get sattelite ?

[08:33:00] TV_Dunce: it showed picture earlier, but now only shows in tvtime
[08:33:00] mirak: Agrajag-: I am aware it's not the same frequencies range, but it would be cool to have all in one.
[08:33:00] TV_Dunce: yes it does
[08:33:00] TV_Dunce: have audio out
[08:33:00] mirak: plus hertzian analog and a video in while we are at it
[08:33:00] Agrajag-: TV_Dunce: do you have a cable connected from that to line in on your soundcard?
[08:34:00] TV_Dunce: yes
[08:34:00] Agrajag-: using alsa?
[08:34:00] TV_Dunce: i've tried alsa
[08:34:00] TV_Dunce: and all the other choices

[08:36:00] Agrajag-: and mute it

[08:38:00] Agrajag-: haha
[08:38:00] mchou: so I dont have to get ripped at the theatre :)
[08:38:00] Agrajag-: i'll tell you what it's like and i dont even have to see it
[08:38:00] Agrajag-: crap
[08:39:00] mchou: well, no doubt the first two were utter crap.
[08:39:00] mchou: I want my refund :)
[08:40:00] TV_Dunce: in alsamixer, everything is full
[08:40:00] TV_Dunce: but the 'line in' has no meter showing
[08:40:00] Agrajag-: well it shouldn't be.. put everything so it's green.. not orange/red
[08:40:00] Agrajag-: is line in set to 'capture'?
[08:41:00] TV_Dunce: where do you set that ?
[08:41:00] Agrajag-: press f4
[08:41:00] Agrajag-: wait f5 is more useful
[08:41:00] Agrajag-: depending on your alsamixer version
[08:42:00] TV_Dunce: it seems to be on 'capture'
[08:42:00] Agrajag-: press space when you've got it selected to set it to capture
[08:42:00] TV_Dunce: es
[08:43:00] Agrajag-: don't mute it
[08:43:00] TV_Dunce: it's on capture
[08:43:00] Agrajag-: and try tvtime
[08:43:00] TV_Dunce: no sound
[08:43:00] TV_Dunce: lol
[08:43:00] Agrajag-: sure you've got the cables right?
[08:43:00] TV_Dunce: yes
[08:43:00] TV_Dunce: i do'nt think any audio is coming out of the tuner card
[08:43:00] Agrajag-: guess it could be a driver problem, i have no idea about that card so i dunno
[08:44:00] TV_Dunce: i'm using the bttv driver
[08:44:00] TV_Dunce: it's a conexant chip, with a phillips tuner
[08:44:00] TV_Dunce: that was a huge pita
[08:44:00] TV_Dunce: but, i did have myth tv showing a picture today
[08:45:00] TV_Dunce: dunno why it has stopped
[08:45:00] TV_Dunce: but, it never did audio at all
[08:45:00] TV_Dunce: either
[08:45:00] TV_Dunce: the card does sound in Windows ....
[08:45:00] TV_Dunce: aaargh
[08:46:00] Agrajag-: recheck the cables :)
[08:46:00] TV_Dunce: the cables are correct
[08:46:00] Agrajag-: famous last words
[08:46:00] TV_Dunce: it must be something in the driver
[08:46:00] Agrajag-: hmm
[08:47:00] Agrajag-: well if it's analogue and you get a picture, i dont see why the sound shouldn't work
[08:47:00] TV_Dunce: if i hook the output cable directly to an amplifier (from the tv-card) it gets no sound
[08:47:00] TV_Dunce: but, in windows, it does
[08:48:00] Agrajag-: you do that when tvtime is open and it's tuned to a channel yeah?
[08:48:00] TV_Dunce: so, i don't think any audio is even comin out of the card at all
[08:48:00] TV_Dunce: yes
[08:48:00] Agrajag-: hmm
[08:48:00] TV_Dunce: getting a great picture
[08:48:00] TV_Dunce: before, i could not get any response at all
[08:48:00] TV_Dunce: so, i'm doing way better
[08:48:00] TV_Dunce: lol
[08:48:00] Agrajag-: maybe there's a snd module you need to load for that card?
[08:49:00] TV_Dunce: hmmm
[08:49:00] TV_Dunce: dunno about that
[08:49:00] TV_Dunce: i think that should be in the bttv driver,
[08:49:00] TV_Dunce: i do know that it does not dectect my card properly
[08:50:00] TV_Dunce: there are bugs in the driver ..... so i have to force the card detection, AND the address of the tuner module
[08:50:00] TV_Dunce: so, something is probably wrong in that part
[08:51:00] TV_Dunce: i just wish i could get a picture in Myth ----
[08:51:00] TV_Dunce: it worked for a while, then it just stopped

[09:40:00] johnp_: dvb or analog ?
[09:40:00] Agrajag-: dvb

[09:40:00] adante: i'm about 5/5, but i might take a page out of your book
[09:40:00] Agrajag-: yeah. they never start on time – always late
[09:40:00] Agrajag-: you know why the stations do that?
[09:41:00] johnp_: wonder if you get reschedule events ?
[09:41:00] Agrajag-: it's all a ratings sham
[09:41:00] Agrajag-: nah johnp_
[09:41:00] Agrajag-: it's so that you can't flick to another channel right when another show starts
[09:41:00] Agrajag-: for example with big brother, you can't go watch another program on another channel when it finishes
[09:41:00] johnp_: where in the world are you ?
[09:41:00] adante: no kidding, that's dirty
[09:41:00] Agrajag-: because it's gone overtime
[09:41:00] Agrajag-: australia
[09:42:00] Agrajag-: but now every station does it
[09:42:00] Agrajag-: that's why no one ever uses/used g-code here too
[09:43:00] adante: how did g-code work anyhoo

[09:49:00] Agrajag-: but i got a couple of replies, heh

[09:50:00] Agrajag-: i was afraid maybe americans liked those ads :P
[09:50:00] elgoog: Two tuners in the one box, one analogue, t'other digital. When I go to live TV, the analogue tuner defaults to it's start channel. When I change tuner inputs, DVB card can't tune.
[09:51:00] elgoog: I traced it down to the cardinput table
[09:51:00] Bob-Laptop: Agrajag-: trust me they do get worse
[09:51:00] Agrajag-: set a default channel for the dvb card?
[09:51:00] elgoog: I have
[09:51:00] elgoog: using both mythtv-setup and directly via mysql
[09:51:00] Agrajag-: ok.. i have 2 dvb cards and one analogue and i dont have any problems.. so what's the problem with cardinput?
[09:51:00] elgoog: After I try using the DVB card, the startchan field for the second card is always cleared
[09:52:00] elgoog: ie looks like something in the code is clearing the field for the second card...
[09:52:00] Agrajag-: hmm it shouldn't clear it
[09:52:00] Agrajag-: it should set it to whatever channel you were watching
[09:53:00] elgoog: Trouble is, until I manage to tune to a channel, it keeps 'reverting' the value in the startchan field to empty.
[09:53:00] Agrajag-: strange
[09:53:00] elgoog: I hacked the code to hard-tune to a known good dvb channel and things work (somewhat) and the field is populated correctly. But when I remove my hack, it's back to clearing the field again.
[09:54:00] Agrajag-: i just tried changing cards and changing channels, then i quit livetv, and the startchan field had changed to the last channel i had watched on both cards
[09:54:00] Agrajag-: what myth version are you using?
[09:55:00] Agrajag-: elgoog: do you get the same problem if you start with the dvb card, change channels, then exit live tv?
[09:55:00] elgoog: CVS from last night
[09:55:00] elgoog: I'll try that – all I have to do is change the DVB card to preferred input, right?
[09:55:00] Agrajag-: yeah i think so

[10:07:00] Agrajag-: hmm i dunno
[10:07:00] Agrajag-: it's weird that your startchan gets written with nothing
[10:07:00] Agrajag-: your channels are setup properly yeah?
[10:07:00] Agrajag-: (im still using 0.18.. so i guess it could be a problem with cvs, dunno)
[10:08:00] elgoog: I'm pretty sure it's all setup – as I said, if I hack the source it seems to save the channel correctly.
[10:10:00] Agrajag-: strange.. i have a similar setup to you, except my analogue card doesn't share any channels with my dvb cards (i just use it for recording from a vcr)
[10:11:00] Agrajag-: and when i go to live tv my analogue card is the default input too
[10:11:00] elgoog: I have made sure my digital channels have different numbers, just to make sure it isn't getting confused that way
[10:11:00] elgoog: My default input is the analogue card as well
[10:16:00] elgoog: Any debug commands I can use to watch the db traffic/queries?
[10:17:00] Agrajag-: hmm not sure
[10:18:00] johnp_: Dumb question : When you set the starting inputs, did you stop the backend ?
[10:19:00] elgoog: no, but I've restarted it since with the new settings.
[10:19:00] johnp_: yeah don't think that works.
[10:19:00] johnp_: the BE will overwrite the settings on exit
[10:19:00] johnp_: (I think)
[10:20:00] elgoog: yes, I noticed it doesn't update its state based on (external) changes to the tables

[10:40:00] gnarface: mwahahhaha. they actually helped me fix my problem in #gentoo, and it only took an hour
[10:40:00] mirak: the interface is also unintuitive at possible
[10:40:00] mirak: :-/
[10:41:00] mirak: it would be nice also to have different shift speed
[10:41:00] mirak: not just one for forward or rewind
[10:41:00] mirak: :)
[10:42:00] elgoog: Seems like myth don't like multiple channels with the same name...
[10:42:00] mirak: should there be optical video output from cable and sattelite devices one day ?
[10:43:00] mirak: it would be nice to be able to record directly the numeric stream
[10:44:00] splat1 is now known as splAt1
[10:45:00] gnarface: mirak: you're not thinking big enough. you should be able to watch the optical analog transmission directly with only a lighting amplification
[10:46:00] fryfrog: mirak: optical DIGITAL or an optical picture?
[10:48:00] fryfrog: i HATE #gentoo
[10:49:00] fryfrog: only cause there are like 100s of people talking at once
[10:49:00] fryfrog: i can't follow it for more than about 60 seconds :o
[10:49:00] elgoog: Yep... multiple channels with the same name _really_ confuses mythtv-setup.
[10:59:00] gnarface: fryfrog: my impression of #gentoo was much the same. auto-name-highlighting is my savior.

[11:53:00] johnp_: (oops)
[11:53:00] Ray-Ven: maybe I should mention that I use RPMs?!
[11:54:00] Ray-Ven: but the video it self works perfect – so I think the rpms are okay
[11:55:00] gnarface: Ray-Ven: tvtime likes to change the line-in volume on you on exit and start. make sure that your problem isn't just that tvtime is muting/setting to 0 your line-in when you exit it
[11:58:00] Ray-Ven: well – seems to be allright – I'm using Kamix (alsa) to adjust
[11:59:00] Ray-Ven: Capturesource is line in – and activated
[11:59:00] Agrajag-: volume up?
[11:59:00] Ray-Ven: sure :-)
[12:00:00] Ray-Ven: oh – I think mythtv is using OSS
[12:01:00] Ray-Ven: but anyway – If i use oss with KDETV it works too
[12:03:00] Agrajag-: well make sure you're pointing it to the correct device
[12:04:00] Ray-Ven: you mean /dev/dsp?
[12:05:00] Agrajag-: yep
[12:05:00] Ray-Ven: should be the right one – got 2 soundcards – 1st is dsp and dsp0 and dsp1 – tried them all – without success

[14:53:00] wasabi: One wire to the frontend.
[14:53:00] wasabi: Or wifi.
[14:55:00] GreyFoxx: the frontend is basically display/playback, most recording related stuff is done by the backend.
[14:55:00] GreyFoxx: Most people just run both on one box
[14:56:00] wasabi: yeah

[14:56:00] wasabi: The only moving part left will be the cd drive
[14:57:00] GreyFoxx: looks pretty

[17:06:00] Beirdo: the x700 should be usable though
[17:07:00] Beirdo: better than what's in my PVR now (9600 Pro) which works great
[17:07:00] tcube: it has higher CPU usage , around 80% while nvidia at 40%
[17:07:00] tcube: HD is different beast
[17:08:00] Beirdo: yeah
[17:08:00] Beirdo: that will be the deciding factor right there for me

[18:01:00] mirak: is it possible to read the mpeg4 stream with a player ?
[18:01:00] mirak: I mean the mpeg4 recordings from mythtv
[18:02:00] GreyFoxx: define "a player"
[18:02:00] mirak: a media player
[18:03:00] GreyFoxx: Are you talking about hardware or another piece of software
[18:03:00] mirak: like mplayer*
[18:03:00] mirak: gxine
[18:03:00] mirak: vlc
[18:03:00] GreyFoxx: ahhh
[18:03:00] mirak: whatever
[18:03:00] GreyFoxx: I think you have to patch mplayer since myth uses a slightly customized version of nupplevideo
[18:04:00] GreyFoxx: but I've never actually tried
[18:04:00] GreyFoxx: You can easily enough run nuv2avi to convert them to avi's which mplayer et all should play without a problem
[18:05:00] mirak: a 10G file ...
[18:05:00] GreyFoxx: If you want something smaller, you will have to transcode it to a lower bitrate :)
[18:06:00] mirak: it's not in apt
[18:06:00] GreyFoxx: 10Gigs is pretty large for a show
[18:06:00] mirak: I don't want something smaller
[18:06:00] mirak: it's a basketball game
[18:06:00] akira: In myth-video, i can't stop, pause, rewind, etc, but the remote works fine with everything else, does anybody know why?

[18:06:00] mirak: is there a way to jump at some position ?
[18:06:00] GreyFoxx: akira: You likely have to configure whatever software mythvideo is calling to understrand the remote
[18:07:00] GreyFoxx: mirak: You have to configure it in the setup/appearance menus, I don't think there is a keycombo to do it
[18:07:00] GreyFoxx: as for jump you can bookmark a position to come back to, or jump by a configured amount (down arrow is 10 minute jump by default)

[18:11:00] mirak: this suck
[18:11:00] mirak: and also you can't configure while playing
[18:11:00] mirak: and it resets the place where the playing is
[18:11:00] GreyFoxx: mirak: You can save a bookmark so that when you go back in it will take you back to the same place
[18:12:00] GreyFoxx: Press enter while a video is playing and it should say "Position saved" , and then when you come back to the show it will jump back to that spot

[18:14:00] mirak: it should be automatic
[18:14:00] mirak: automatic bookmark on exit
[18:14:00] rtsai1111: these only work if your mythvideo player is "Internal" and not xine or mplayer or anything like that
[18:15:00] mirak: rtsai1111: how to use xine ?
[18:15:00] GreyFoxx: mirak: Most people do not want that or it would be
[18:15:00] GreyFoxx: But you can certainly add an option to myth to set it to automatic
[18:15:00] rtsai1111: i think there is a myth option for automatic bookmark on exit
[18:16:00] GreyFoxx: rtsai1111: Cool
[18:16:00] rtsai1111: (only for internal myth player, but I don't know if it also applies to mythvideo "internal" stuff)
[18:16:00] GreyFoxx: It likely does
[18:16:00] rtsai1111: i agree, but I'm c.y.a.

[18:23:00] rtsai1111: I don't know of any packages

[18:26:00] CyberKnet: DVI->VGA converters that come with video cards... does anyone know if it is the adapter doing the conversion of if the adapter merely changes an output mode on the video card somehow?
[18:26:00] xml-blog: rtsai1111, thanks anyway
[18:27:00] kormoc: CyberKnet, no conversion is done
[18:27:00] kormoc: there are two parts on a dvi
[18:27:00] kormoc: dvi-d which is digital
[18:27:00] kormoc: and a analog dvi
[18:27:00] kormoc: the dvi to vga adapter just converts the analog dvi out to vga
[18:27:00] CyberKnet: aha
[18:28:00] CyberKnet: looking at a KVM that is dvi. I dont have a dvi display yet, but both my video cards are DVI out with the VGA adapter
[18:28:00] CyberKnet: wondering if that kvm botches the dvi analog signal
[18:28:00] CyberKnet: =)
[18:28:00] kormoc: the vga to dvi only 'converts' it to the analog dvi, which is why dvi-d only monitors can't use them.
[18:29:00] kormoc: hehe, might be, kvms are nutty
[18:29:00] CyberKnet: Yes, they are.
[18:29:00] CyberKnet: Thanks for that information kormoc. that was extremely helpful =)
[18:29:00] kormoc: You're quite welcome :)
[18:29:00] CyberKnet: now to email the manufacturer and ask if their kvm botches the dvi-a signal or not
[18:29:00] CyberKnet: I wonder if the sales drones would even know.

[18:34:00] kormoc: yeah, hence why I said it was dvi-d, but then in the specs...
[18:34:00] CyberKnet: in theoriy I should be able to stick an adapter on the end of them and have it work, but according to the picture, I couldn't
[18:35:00] CyberKnet: I wonder if it is a shot of a pre-release model, or someoen at that company doesn't know the difference between DVI-I and DVI-D

[19:04:00] rtsai1111: maybe that's good enough for my question. Is digital output something that either works or it doesn't? I have my MythTV using optical output to my receiver. Does that mean I have AC3 digital sound and stuff all working properly, or is it possible that analog signals are going over that cable?
[19:04:00] CyberKnet: mind you, I dont have any better inputs on my crap tv, so... =)

[19:13:00] j-rod: which options?
[19:13:00] Esotericisms: I lost it only for XORG .. not for the terminals
[19:14:00] Esotericisms: Option "TVStandard" "NTSC-M"
[19:14:00] Esotericisms: Option "TVOutFormat" "SVIDEO"

[19:21:00] Esotericisms: for 'Section "Monitor"' right?

[19:28:00] j-rod: probably the effects of an interlaced display
[19:28:00] j-rod: there's another slider that can smooth that out a bit
[19:29:00] j-rod: (in nvidia-settings)
[19:29:00] Esotericisms: yeah I do have a flat screen tube tv (not plasma or anything

[19:30:00] j-rod: bump that up
[19:30:00] j-rod: huh?
[19:30:00] Esotericisms: 800 ... 1024?
[19:30:00] j-rod: I'm running at 1024
[19:30:00] Esotericisms: things still seem a little blured (text that is)
[19:30:00] j-rod: yup, not much that can be done about that
[19:31:00] j-rod: the tv out is actually converting the signal to roughly 720x480
[19:32:00] j-rod: so lots of info gets tossed out to squeeze everything into a resolution an NTSC TV set understands
[19:32:00] j-rod: you'll be fine in Myth though
[19:32:00] Esotericisms: ok
[19:32:00] Esotericisms: ok sounds good to me ...

[19:32:00] Esotericisms: that is true
[19:33:00] Esotericisms: unless you are using an HDTV with a DVI port
[19:33:00] j-rod: (though a pregressive-scan HDTV is actually pretty useable)
[19:33:00] kormoc: would it be better to set the x res to 720x480?
[19:33:00] Esotericisms: probably for desktop mode ..
[19:33:00] j-rod: as long as its 720p, things are similar at 1080i (interlace jitter effects)
[19:34:00] j-rod: I like a higher res for the desktop for when I have to drop to it to do anything
[19:34:00] Esotericisms: damn ... I really wish I could get rid of this tile on screen
[19:34:00] j-rod: in theory, you might be slightly better off setting X to 720x480 when watching video, since there's less coversion going on
[19:34:00] j-rod: but it doesn't make much difference visually to me
[19:35:00] j-rod: so I stick with the higher res so the desktop is at least somewhat useable
[19:35:00] j-rod: though most of the time I just shell in from my laptop anymore...
[19:35:00] Esotericisms: damnit ... my audio is gone :(

[20:27:00] Beirdo: different design
[20:27:00] epoch: ah
[20:27:00] Beirdo: but meant to be a replacement
[20:27:00] epoch: better/worse?

[21:07:00] epoch: though, in the US if something like this happened, the president would be *so* impeached
[21:07:00] epoch: like, immediately
[21:07:00] Beirdo: nah
[21:07:00] CyberKnet: sure didn't
[21:07:00] Beirdo: he'd be congratulated
[21:07:00] epoch: why?
[21:07:00] kormoc: did bc's vote reform thing pass?
[21:07:00] CyberKnet: because in the USA we like our president to lie to us
[21:07:00] Beirdo: because... the rich run America
[21:07:00] CyberKnet: ergo Gulf War 2
[21:07:00] epoch: heh
[21:08:00] Beirdo: screw the poor
[21:08:00] epoch: wait, the poor don't vote, do they?
[21:08:00] Beirdo: as often as you can... and don't pay alimony
[21:08:00] CyberKnet: !!!WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCTION!!! (yes daddy I'll get him for you)
[21:09:00] CyberKnet: epoch: statistically speaking, the turnout % of the poor is low. However, the education level of the poor is statistically similar to the turnout level of voting in the same segment. Draw your own conclusions...
[21:09:00] CyberKnet: also, 98% of statistics are made up.
[21:09:00] epoch: heh
[21:09:00] Beirdo: and the intimidation in the poor areas is higher too

[21:14:00] CyberKnet: Beirdo: Hmmm... I think there are just more middle class in oklahoma than there are lower class. but the poor are dirt poor.
[21:14:00] CyberKnet: a very large gap.
[21:14:00] CyberKnet: Not too many middle of the roaders
[21:14:00] Beirdo: the dirt poor in USA and Canada are richer than the average in many countries
[21:14:00] CyberKnet: that is true.

[21:18:00] Beirdo: because it's OK!
[21:18:00] CyberKnet: Beirdo: I don't dislike OCZ... but I have seen some slip ups in their producti n the past, and their excuse is always "We didn't make it, we sourced it from a third party."
[21:18:00] CyberKnet: Beirdo: that excuse is just as bad (if not worse) in my books.
[21:18:00] CyberKnet: They usually make good on it, but still...
[21:18:00] Beirdo: well, their custom cabling is what's making me think about them
[21:19:00] CyberKnet: i.e. an Arctic Silver thermal grease that claimed to be 99% silver that was 0.09% silver
[21:19:00] CyberKnet: arctic silver knock off, that is
[21:19:00] CyberKnet: using the stuff was actually worse than using no grease at all
[21:20:00] CyberKnet: and their response was to recall it and blame it on a third party supplier. They never tested the stuff after placing their order.
[21:20:00] Esotericisms: I love Commerical Flagging
[21:20:00] Esotericisms: it rocks
[21:20:00] CyberKnet: they got a test sample, then ordered bulk and never retested.

[21:21:00] laga: Esotericisms: geforce 2 mx?
[21:22:00] CyberKnet: Beirdo: It could be very relevant.

[21:31:00] Beirdo: there
[21:31:00] kormoc: CyberKnet, one of the things that sold myself the most with them is as a company, I havn't ever had such a great experence.
[21:31:00] Beirdo: TheUni3: not necessarily
[21:31:00] kormoc: CyberKnet, I bought mine, and about 2 months later, I get a call from them about 8 pm on a friday night, they told me that some of their customers were having issues with their power supplys having a run of bad caps
[21:31:00] BobJensen: Beirdo: Ultra makes a PSU that is modular also
[21:32:00] kormoc: CyberKnet, they said my psu was in the same lot and might have a problem
[21:32:00] CyberKnet: kormoc: well that's a pretty decent company then
[21:32:00] TheUni3: BobJensen: the rails on the ultra are terrible, from what i've heard
[21:32:00] kormoc: CyberKnet, so they mailed myself a new one, free of charge, just in case

[21:57:00] kormoc: it's a really awesome voting system
[21:57:00] kormoc: it allows one to vote for who they want without wasting the vote
[21:57:00] Beirdo: musta been just the west-coast dingbats
[21:57:00] CyberKnet: Australia has a really awesome voting system.
[21:57:00] Beirdo: we're too stupid to adopt something that useful
[21:58:00] kormoc: CyberKnet, Australia uses STV :)
[21:58:00] CyberKnet: kormoc: ch-ching
[21:58:00] Beirdo: and has STDs
[21:58:00] Beirdo: oh wait
[21:58:00] CyberKnet: Beirdo: that's just me, not australia as a whole...
[21:58:00] Beirdo: uh huh
[21:58:00] Beirdo: and all the sheep?
[21:58:00] CyberKnet: and it's not really transferrable... it just makes other women spoiled for everyone else
[21:59:00] CyberKnet: it's not something you could catch by sleeping with my sloppy seconds
[21:59:00] CyberKnet: much to your chagrin
[21:59:00] CyberKnet: ;)
[21:59:00] kormoc: I do have a small complaint of how they did it
[21:59:00] kormoc: it didn't pass in bc
[21:59:00] ** Beirdo slaps CyberKnet with a salmon **
[21:59:00] kormoc: it only got 57% approval
[21:59:00] kormoc: the requirements was 60% by vote and 60% of the runnings
[22:00:00] kormoc: it was approved in all runnings, but only 57% of the population voted yes
[22:00:00] kormoc: it should have passed imho
[22:00:00] Esotericisms: well I just found that commercial flagging doesn't always work :/
[22:00:00] Beirdo: nope
[22:00:00] Beirdo: it shoulda followed the rules they set forward

[22:01:00] Beirdo: as well they should have
[22:01:00] kormoc: ooh?
[22:01:00] Beirdo: voting reform should require more than 50% + 1
[22:02:00] kormoc: the law says it only requires 50%+1
[22:02:00] kormoc: and the past few dozen was passed that way
[22:02:00] Beirdo: I think 60% even isn't enough

[22:07:00] Beirdo: well then you'll have to wait until enough people support it
[22:07:00] CyberKnet: Yes.

[22:08:00] Beirdo: the question was too vague
[22:09:00] Beirdo: and the results would never have actually meant separation, the rest of the country would have told them where to shove their vague question
[22:09:00] Esotericisms: so the ir blaster cable has to go over the IR port ... interesting
[22:09:00] CyberKnet: australian prisoners still have to right to vote. isn't that interesting?
[22:09:00] CyberKnet: "felons" in australia can vote.
[22:09:00] Esotericisms: hrm
[22:09:00] Beirdo: any constitutional change REQUIRES acceptance by something like 6 of the 10 provinces
[22:10:00] Beirdo: CyberKnet: figuring Australia was founded as a penal colony, that makes sense :)

[22:17:00] kormoc: Beirdo, actually, I don't, given we've had the stuff to do it in school and what not.
[22:17:00] kormoc: Beirdo, one shot of 100% == 2 shots of 50% == 4 shots of 25%...
[22:17:00] intrade: could probably run the car on that
[22:18:00] Beirdo: to get more than 80% alcohol you will need a damn good reflux still or to distill it about 10 times
[22:18:00] kormoc: it's not that bad.
[22:18:00] Beirdo: I know how it scales, silly
[22:18:00] intrade: yea his mate imported a still from europe
[22:18:00] kormoc: distill it a ton of times is how we did it :)

[23:03:00] Beirdo: Esotericisms: I think you need to RTFM on Apache

[23:03:00] Ashlar: Esotericisms: yah, hit apache.org- they have a very detailed section on it
[23:04:00] Esotericisms: yeah ... I have never had a problem before ... so that is why I was wondering

[23:10:00] opello: dang, still says 'not flagged'
[23:10:00] jasoncohen: Hydrian, i'm using the niveus RF/universal IR remote with GreyFoxx's driver. It works well
[23:10:00] jasoncohen: Hydrian, $40 for the remote + the RF base
[23:10:00] Hydrian: jasoncohen: is that lirc supported?
[23:10:00] jasoncohen: it is controlled directly through the driver like an IR Keyboard so no need to use lirc
[23:11:00] jasoncohen: it's quite simple to use
[23:11:00] Hydrian: The base just emulate keystokes?
[23:11:00] Hydrian: oh... never mind... I can't read
[23:12:00] jasoncohen: the only downside is that the keymap is currently in the driver – atiremote.c but i believe GreyFoxx is planning to change that. Even so, it's easy to edit as there are comments for each button. then you just copy it to /usr/src/linux/drivers/usb/input/ and then do make modules && make modules_install and finally modprobe ati_remote lolatype=1
[23:13:00] Hydrian: Ah
