[00:00:00] hadees: ShockValue, best bet is search the mythtv mailing list archives for your direct tv box model number
[00:00:00] hadees: ShockValue, another option if you never can get it to work would be IR blasting
[00:00:00] ShockValue: did that.. lots of people havin the problem a few weeks ago, but the thread tapered off with no solution :(
[00:01:00] GeckoFiend: ShockValue yep
[00:02:00] ShockValue: yep what? :D

[00:03:00] Kronuz: hey, where do I change the NTSC-PAL stuff for xv (mplayer and xine)
[00:03:00] Kronuz: ?
[00:03:00] GeckoFiend: sorry yep I have directv.
[00:03:00] bobc (~no@64-126-52-53-dhcp-kc.everestkc.net) has joined #mythtv-users
[00:03:00] GeckoFiend: and I have no problem with channels <100
[00:03:00] ShockValue: ah.. what reciever are you using?
[00:04:00] GeckoFiend: Sat-A65 from sony
[00:04:00] ShockValue: hrm.. reading more on gossamer it looks like this might be a d10–100 only problem.. i guess DirectV sent an upgrade via satelite that hozed it
[00:05:00] hadees: ShockValue, sounds like you need to get an IR blaster atleast temp
[00:05:00] ShockValue: sounds like i need a reciever that DIrectV cant "upgrade" for me :)
[00:06:00] hadees: or drop direct tv
[00:06:00] GeckoFiend: hadees that's not an option for a lot of folks
[00:06:00] GeckoFiend: like me for instance
[00:07:00] hadees: i wonder if i can sue direct tv for bombarding me from space with signals
[00:07:00] hadees: they could give me cancer
[00:07:00] JonK: of course you can, winning such a suit, however, quite another matter

[00:16:00] SarahEmm: hihi!
[00:17:00] ** SarahEmm finally picked up a PVR-500, woo! :) **
[00:17:00] Kronuz: :(
[00:17:00] JonK: do you have it working?
[00:17:00] SarahEmm: Kronuz: mew?
[00:17:00] SarahEmm: JonK: not yet. just opened the box right now
[00:17:00] Kronuz: I'm still having problems with xv (it's on b&n and with a green block on the bottom)
[00:18:00] SarahEmm: b&n?
[00:18:00] Kronuz: while playing something on either mplayer or xine using xv in my pvr350
[00:18:00] Kronuz: I think it's a PAL-NTSC problem
[00:18:00] JonK: best of luck, I've only been able to get 1 tuner working, and then with a hideous tinny scracthy sound quality
[00:18:00] SarahEmm: JonK: it's going in my devel backend right now anyway, as i have to get some kind of closed captioning support working before i use it.. this'll let me hack away at that anyway tho

[00:18:00] mchou: SarahEmm: did yours come with an extension bracket?
[00:18:00] SarahEmm: yeah, it did. that was unexpected.....
[00:18:00] SarahEmm: i thought that was a seperate buy
[00:18:00] mchou: hmm, nice.
[00:19:00] Kronuz: but I don't know how to fic it, I've read the ivtv mailing lists, but couldn't find how to fix it
[00:19:00] mchou: where did you buy it?
[00:19:00] SarahEmm: mchou: Canada Computers, a local store chain
[00:19:00] JonK: mine did too — what is that for? if i want to have seperate signal into each tuner?
[00:19:00] SarahEmm: jonk: if you feed it svideo or composite, the board itself only has one set of ports
[00:19:00] mchou: JonK: for anothe svid/composite input
[00:19:00] SarahEmm: so you need the bracket for the other ports
[00:19:00] SarahEmm: i'm feeding it cable input, so i don't need it
[00:19:00] JonK: oh...
[00:20:00] JonK: im feeding cable too, so i didn't use it either
[00:20:00] mchou: SarahEmm: how much was it in CDN$?
[00:20:00] mchou: SarahEmm: or US$ :)

[00:25:00] SarahEmm: yeah, something like that
[00:25:00] Kronuz: HELP!!
[00:25:00] SarahEmm: very reasonable imho for a dual tuner card :)
[00:25:00] Kronuz: :P
[00:25:00] mchou: SarahEmm: take a close up pic of it b4 you put it in the computer :)
[00:26:00] SarahEmm: hopefully i can get it running and hack up some CC code for it
[00:26:00] SarahEmm: mchou: whatcha looking for?
[00:26:00] ** Kronuz is crying for help **
[00:26:00] mchou: what does the label on the tuner say?
[00:26:00] mchou: like what rev....
[00:26:00] SarahEmm: ntsc/ntsc-j 23552 rev d592

[00:28:00] splAt1 is now known as splat1
[00:29:00] mchou: JonK: you know what rev 500 you got?

[00:32:00] JonK: i actually ordered one from buy.com, they sent me a "it's backorded, click here to cancel" message
[00:33:00] JonK: so i did, and ordered one from another website
[00:33:00] JonK: then i get teh message "your order has shipped"

[00:33:00] JonK: have a pvr350 in it already
[00:33:00] SarahEmm: i have a single bttv right now doing software MPEG4 because i wanted something working fast without coding anything
[00:33:00] JonK: but modprobe ivtv only gets one tuner loading
[00:33:00] SarahEmm: i've been running that for like 2 years now on myth...

[00:34:00] SarahEmm: but when the -500 came out, i wanted one 'cuz i only have one PCI slot, so this will give me two tuners in that space, plus make it hardware encoded:)

[00:34:00] mchou: JonK: put ivtv log in pastebin pls.
[00:34:00] Beirdo: SarahEmm: you went to Canada Computers?

[00:35:00] Beirdo: the College St one is close to me
[00:35:00] SarahEmm: Beirdo: don't say that yet, it's not installed or working or coded on yet ;)
[00:35:00] Beirdo: ;)
[00:35:00] SarahEmm: mchou: not even close.
[00:35:00] SarahEmm: mchou: but they have a fair bit of geek gear.
[00:36:00] SarahEmm: i still make a frys run whenever i'm in CA.

[01:11:00] Beirdo: I'm a clueful one
[01:11:00] SarahEmm: Beirdo: yeah, stabilizing the TDD/TTY support in asterisk. the core asterisk stuff is *almost* fully working, i have another 2 bugfix patches to submit...
[01:11:00] Beirdo: and su is fucked
[01:11:00] SarahEmm: once that's done, i start writing apps for stuff like textmail and textconferencing

[01:12:00] SarahEmm: anyone know where the slot bracket with the extra connectors plugs into the PVR-500?
[01:12:00] Beirdo: gotta get your new toy running to your satisfaction
[01:12:00] SarahEmm: there's two sockets on the card, Header1 and Header2... i can assume header1, but with no docs..
[01:13:00] Beirdo: hehe, they sell em OEM?
[01:13:00] SarahEmm: yeah
[01:13:00] Beirdo: cheap little bastards
[01:13:00] SarahEmm: there's no non-OEM 500 is there?
[01:13:00] Beirdo: not sure
[01:13:00] Beirdo: but Canada Computers are definitely cheap little bastards
[01:13:00] JonK: from dmesg: kernel: No module symbols loaded – kernel modules not enabled.
[01:13:00] Beirdo: which is why I shop there :)
[01:13:00] JonK: what the hell is going on?
[01:14:00] Beirdo: JonK: you have a kernel with no modules support
[01:14:00] JonK: then why does it probe and load modules?
[01:14:00] Beirdo: hmm
[01:14:00] JonK: why can I lsmod rmmod and insmod them?
[01:14:00] ** Beirdo shrugs **
[01:14:00] SarahEmm: Beirdo: *nods* true :)
[01:14:00] Beirdo: that's what the error is seeming to say
[01:14:00] Beirdo: I have about $1500 slated to go to them soon
[01:14:00] SarahEmm: Beirdo: i'll assume it plugs into Header1... the doc link on hauppauge.com gives a 403 :P

[01:21:00] Beirdo: heh

[01:22:00] sphing: vonage doesn't have my area code

[01:25:00] sphing: yea thats what i was asking earlier
[01:25:00] j-rod: not sure how nice vonage and asterisk will play together...
[01:25:00] sphing: like 89%
[01:25:00] Beirdo: j-rod: they don't
[01:25:00] j-rod: probably should have read up on things, but hey
[01:25:00] Beirdo: not at all
[01:26:00] SarahEmm: woo. card and bracket installed, tokenring card moved to make room.
[01:26:00] SarahEmm: :)
[01:26:00] j-rod: TokenRing?!?!?

[01:26:00] Beirdo: sphing: hmmm, you may need to tweak some bitrates, etc to make it easier on the frontend
[01:26:00] SarahEmm: mchou: yes, but that's only partially related :) this is the workbench box which connects into the cisco lab
[01:27:00] Beirdo: heh

[01:34:00] Beirdo: hehe
[01:35:00] mchou: KarlosII: why?
[01:35:00] KarlosII: exegesis in #azureus thinks it is and has blacklisted me fromt he channel
[01:35:00] Beirdo: sphing: you tell it which to use when you setup a recording
[01:35:00] Beirdo: jeez
[01:35:00] mchou: KarlosII: you can talk about the Sopranos :)
[01:35:00] KarlosII: :)
[01:35:00] Beirdo: #azureus is a fuckin torrent program
[01:35:00] sphing: live tv is having the problem
[01:35:00] j-rod: FC4 final, disc 1, download almost complete...
[01:35:00] Beirdo: hence any tv shows there are related to torrent
[01:36:00] mchou: hehe.
[01:36:00] Beirdo: sphing: then tweak the livetv profile
[01:36:00] mchou: so what can you talk about in #azereus???
[01:36:00] mchou: hehe
[01:37:00] KarlosII: Beirdo, so talking about tvshows theres is talking warez?
[01:37:00] SarahEmm: non-tv BT stuff
[01:37:00] mchou: like linus distros?
[01:37:00] Beirdo: not much, legitimately according to freenode policy
[01:37:00] KarlosII: oh
[01:37:00] SarahEmm: mchou:y eah.
[01:37:00] sphing: rather... how do I tell it which profile group to use?
[01:37:00] Beirdo: live TV always uses Live TV
[01:37:00] KarlosII: geepers the guy could have avoided being anal and explained it better
[01:37:00] KarlosII: anhywho
[01:37:00] Beirdo: in the group that matches your capture card type
[01:37:00] sphing: ah.. ok
[01:38:00] Beirdo: KarlosII: where's the fun in that?
[01:38:00] mchou: KarlosII: hehe, you did learn the lesson :)
[01:39:00] KarlosII: dun matter I just use another ip and I'm in
[01:39:00] KarlosII: Beirdo, heh
[01:40:00] Beirdo: heh, I'd ban you on sight doing that
[01:41:00] KarlosII: Beirdo, heh like I said I just go around the ban to obtain the support and avoid discussing what the guy is up in arms about
[01:41:00] KarlosII: which is what i meant
[01:41:00] Beirdo: heh
[01:41:00] Beirdo: still, you go around my ban, I extend the ban
[01:41:00] Beirdo: you're lucky he didn't :)
[01:41:00] KarlosII: he doesn't know
[01:42:00] KarlosII: and what he don't knwo won't hurt him
[01:42:00] Beirdo: we could fix that
[01:42:00] Beirdo: hehe
[01:42:00] KarlosII: I know you could
[01:42:00] KarlosII: :)
[01:42:00] Beirdo: not worth the effort
[01:42:00] Beirdo: besides, you have to deal with a drunk premier, so I'll give you a break
[01:43:00] KarlosII: anyhow I gotta see what i can do to help get these ubuntu backports of 0.18.1 mythtv done
[01:43:00] KarlosII: rotflol
[01:43:00] Beirdo: mdz is working on it, I think
[01:43:00] Beirdo: but whatever works
[01:44:00] Kronuz: aghrrr... I can't make my zsnes's keys work
[01:44:00] Kronuz: the arrows aren't working
[01:44:00] KarlosII: Beirdo, well then I'll tlak to him about helping him
[01:44:00] Kronuz: could anyone please send me his working zsnes config file?
[01:44:00] Beirdo: I know he was asking about where to put mythjobqueue earlier today
[01:45:00] KarlosII: hmm
[01:45:00] Beirdo: so he's gotta be working on packaging some version
[01:45:00] Beirdo: whether for ubuntu or debian, I dunno
[01:45:00] KarlosII: I need to take on one project to dedicate my time
[01:45:00] KarlosII: I'm a ubuntu convert from kanotix now
[01:46:00] Beirdo: I use ubuntu (replacing FC1)
[01:46:00] ** SarahEmm is a gentoo convert from debian **

[01:46:00] j-rod: I'm about to become a SUSE user

[01:47:00] j-rod: still plenty of RH, but also a whole lot more SUSE
[01:47:00] j-rod: Novell's office is just down the road from Linux Networx HQ.
[01:47:00] j-rod: translation: good deals on SUSE for LN
[01:47:00] Ashlar: god I love using my xbox to play xmame / zsnes :)
[01:48:00] Ashlar: it's just _so_ wrong :)
[01:48:00] j-rod: so most new stuff at LN is SLES9 or SUSE Pro

[01:50:00] jams: but that's just my .02

[01:51:00] j-rod: eh
[01:51:00] j-rod: SUSE is over-engineered
[01:51:00] SarahEmm: lol, my lspci is up to 18 lines on this box
[01:51:00] Beirdo: hehe
[01:52:00] j-rod: and their cli management stuff SUCKS
[01:52:00] j-rod: at least in my experience
[01:52:00] Beirdo: SuSE sucks, you say? :)
[01:52:00] Beirdo: hehe
[01:52:00] j-rod: sokay
[01:52:00] Beirdo: just reading between the lines :)
[01:52:00] Ashlar: SarahEmm: yah, that too, but the sheer evil of using a MS product to run linux, running an emulator, to run SNES / arcade games.. all without contributing a $ to MS.. that tickles me every time
[01:52:00] tallywag: pro&cons on xandros pls
[01:52:00] sphing: does it take like 5 secs to change channels?
[01:52:00] j-rod: nah, I don't think it sucks, but there are things I certainly don't like about it
[01:53:00] j-rod: but there are things I like about it too
[01:53:00] Beirdo: any distro will have that, especially at first
[01:53:00] mchou: haha. I'm listening to NPR. NYC just passed a bill to legislate 2 female public bathrooms for every guy bathroom
[01:53:00] SarahEmm: Ashlar: hehe :)
[01:53:00] sphing: mchou: yea i heard that

[01:56:00] Ashlar: sphing: yup, 2 of em.. m10k
[01:56:00] j-rod: but I REALLY bites when you manually change a server config file, then someone runs yast, and the change gets blown away
[01:56:00] KarlosII: makes me wonder why it takes women long in the bathroom
[01:56:00] mchou: KarlosII: they dont have urinals :)

[01:57:00] Ashlar: sphing: I used knoppmyth for the most recent, which has all the -epia goodies
[01:57:00] mchou: KarlosII: that wasn't a joke.
[01:57:00] sphing: Ashlar: I think the problem is that the Recording Profile is using "MPEG-2 Hardware Encoder" which is causing me problems
[01:57:00] j-rod: that's a significant improvement then
[01:58:00] Ashlar: Kronuz: nope, but then again, all I use is an xbox controller, never kb
[01:58:00] ** SarahEmm uses the xbox dvd remote **
[01:58:00] SarahEmm: seems to work well
[01:58:00] j-rod: jams, I guess that mostly nullifies my first two complaints
[01:58:00] mchou: KarlosII: guys would probably take just as long as women if they had to use the potty insteady of urinals.
[01:58:00] j-rod: :)
[01:58:00] jams: well I still find myself doing thing outside of yast
[01:59:00] j-rod: oh, suse's text mode installer is brutal too
[01:59:00] Ashlar: sphing: nope, I've got pvr-250s and the frontend plays em back smooth as butter

[02:02:00] jams: later
[02:02:00] Ashlar: sphing: eh, on my direct connect to cable box, about 3–4 secs.. a little longer on the box w/ ir blaster
[02:03:00] sphing: mine is a solid 5 secs with analog cable
[02:04:00] Ashlar: eh.. depends on a lot of things.. network, filesystem of the partition where the ringbuffer lives, etc etc..
[02:04:00] Ashlar: OSD fade in / out (which used to be problematic on the epia, but works like a dream w/ KM)
[02:05:00] sphing: and your %CPU?
[02:05:00] Ashlar: 1ghz nehemiah
[02:05:00] Ashlar: stepping 3 and 5, IIRC
[02:05:00] Ashlar: (I have two boxes)
[02:06:00] sphing: no i mean how much %CPU is the frontend using
[02:07:00] Ashlar: oh.. on playback? eh.. 10–20 (heavy while ffw or rew sometimes, maybe 25%)
[02:07:00] sphing: i'm at 60–90%
[02:07:00] Ashlar: ouch
[02:08:00] sphing: i'm watching baseball and its like high 60s
[02:09:00] Ashlar: when I was on via proprietary drivers, it hovered at about 30%
[02:09:00] Ashlar: but it also fluctuated wildly
[02:10:00] Ashlar: in a really dark show / scene, it'd go up to 50

[03:17:00] dhofstra: SarahEmm you said above that your xbox is 'great' as a frontend, in my experience it is ok, but mighty slow.. do you have extra RAM or something?
[03:19:00] SarahEmm: *Shrug* it's a little slower than my other boxes, but not annoyingly so for me
[03:19:00] SarahEmm: i've pondered putting more RAM in it
[03:19:00] SarahEmm: afaik it's just adding a few extra chips or somesuch
[03:19:00] SarahEmm: but the speed doesn't bother me much now
[03:20:00] Kronuz: emulation is always slow or does it has to do with that I'm using a pvr350?
[03:21:00] Kronuz: (of SNES and NES, that is)
[03:21:00] dhofstra: ok, mine is a real drag, nice enough for casual viewing, but nowhere near responsive enough for a real frontend. Most people have a 'faster' experience than me. I wonder if mine is borked somehow
[03:22:00] SarahEmm: dhofstra: hrm. i dunno, i made it only start any processes absolutely required, no heavy window manager or anything, cronned stuff is pared down to only absolutely required stuff
[03:22:00] SarahEmm: it took some optimizing, and it's not lightning fast, but it doesn't bother me
[03:22:00] dhofstra: ok thats cool
[03:22:00] Kronuz: it seems it's the pvr350
[03:22:00] Kronuz: if I play without it it's a lot faster
[03:23:00] GreyFoxx: the 350's framebuffer is pretty slow
[03:23:00] dhofstra: like for instance, pulling up the OSD to 'browse' channels definitley makes the video stutter on my xbox
[03:23:00] Kronuz: :(
[03:23:00] Kronuz: GreyFoxx: ther's no known way around?
[03:23:00] Kronuz: GreyFoxx: to make it work faster
[03:23:00] GreyFoxx: Don't use the 350's framebuffer
[03:23:00] Kronuz: GreyFoxx: but for tv output
[03:23:00] GreyFoxx: If there was an easy way it would be done already
[03:23:00] GeckoFiend: yeah use an nvidia card

[03:24:00] SarahEmm: there's enough advantages to it like easy tv output, how small it is, integrated IRness (well, nice receiver), lowish power, etc...
[03:24:00] GreyFoxx: The 350's framebuffer was not intended to be used as a general video card
[03:24:00] SarahEmm: so i don't really mind if it's a little slower *Shrug*
[03:24:00] SarahEmm: mchou: 0.3.6g
[03:24:00] dhofstra: yeah, that IR reciever on the xbox works from under my dresser, its the best reciever Ive ever seen
[03:24:00] Kronuz: but if I use nvidia, then there goes the hardware decoding, right?
[03:25:00] SarahEmm: yeah, it's good stuff :)
[03:25:00] SarahEmm: and the LED on the front is handy hehe :)
[03:25:00] mchou: speaking of video cards, what a good cheap video card that can offload mpeg-2 from the processor?
[03:25:00] SarahEmm: and it's small and blends in with the living room
[03:25:00] SarahEmm: and is low power relatively
[03:25:00] flindet: When I try to launch mame from mythgame, it uses joytype 4, yet I need joytype 1. I can't find anywhere to configure this. Does anyone know how I can change the parameters mythgame passes to xmame?
[03:25:00] GreyFoxx: Kronuz: You could looks at using XvMC to use the decoding abilities of the nvidia card
[03:25:00] GeckoFiend: Kronuz not at all
[03:25:00] GreyFoxx: Not quite the same as the 350, but it will lessen the load on the CPU
[03:25:00] mchou: XvMC is a bit buggy, no?
[03:25:00] GreyFoxx: I've personally never had a problem with it
[03:26:00] GeckoFiend: mchou current CVS has had a lot of XvMC improvements

[03:28:00] Ashlar: flindet, go to mythgame, choose mame, then hit 'i'

[03:28:00] SarahEmm: mchou: i'm not on a 350
[03:29:00] GreyFoxx: Kronuz: the XvMC is a function of the drivers for the nvidia card
[03:29:00] GreyFoxx: the xvmc libs are installed with the Nvidia Driver
[03:29:00] Kronuz: GreyFoxx: so I need to get nvidia drivers, I suppose
[03:29:00] mchou: SarahEmm: oh, I inferred you were cause you seemed to rave about the decoder :)
[03:29:00] GreyFoxx: Kronuz: Yes

[03:30:00] SarahEmm: mchou: mew? i did?
[03:30:00] GreyFoxx: Grey still last I looked, and mine never crashed. Though it is on the most unused frontend in the house :)
[03:30:00] Kronuz: :S 10MB!!
[03:31:00] jemarcks_: mchou, howdy
[03:31:00] GreyFoxx: Kronuz: How big is the harddrive you are installing on ?
[03:31:00] mchou: hi jemarcks_
[03:31:00] dhofstra: cant remember the last time 10mb scared me... heh
[03:31:00] GeckoFiend: mchou I use an Fx5200 in my main FE, but since my display is a 720p natice I only output 720p.
[03:31:00] GeckoFiend: course I also don't use XvMC
[03:31:00] dhofstra: man I'd kill for 720p native
[03:31:00] jemarcks_: mchou, im burning some dvd's tonite... cleaning out my recordings. :D
[03:31:00] mchou: GeckoFiend: hmm?? you dont use xvmc?

[03:32:00] mchou: GeckoFiend: why is that?
[03:32:00] dhofstra: 540p on my set, and 1080i modelines just give nasty picture, I still use Jarrods in540p for my best picture, even HDTV
[03:32:00] GeckoFiend: dhofstra still has the grey OSD, but it doesn't crash all the time. A full color OSD is on the way though
[03:32:00] dhofstra: hmm. nice

[03:34:00] dhofstra: heh; I will note that I had to have dual-channel RAM enabled for a good smooth picture thought (512mb)
[03:34:00] dhofstra: 2.5 celeron does just fine on 1080i
[03:34:00] GeckoFiend: mchou you know I hear that alot... But oddly enough I have no issues at all
[03:35:00] mchou: a 2.5 celeron and Gforce4200ti aint got enough juice :)
[03:35:00] dhofstra: i beg to differ
[03:35:00] mchou: not for 1080i. Enough for 540p though.
[03:35:00] mchou: dhofstra: what vid card you got?
[03:35:00] dhofstra: nvidia 5200
[03:36:00] mchou: well, that explains some things.
[03:36:00] dhofstra: I did use a 440MX before with no problems
[03:36:00] dhofstra: the 440mx was about 90 percent cpu, the 5200 is lower
[03:36:00] mchou: That cause Geforce4200Ti doesnt do mpeg2 offload......
[03:36:00] dhofstra: well, a 5200 is like 30 bucks.. heh
[03:37:00] Kronuz: Geforce4200Ti that's what I have

[03:37:00] mchou: a 5200 is $30?? where?
[03:37:00] Kronuz: GreyFoxx: will a Geforce4200Ti not work for mpeg accel?

[03:42:00] dhofstra: mchou, off the top of my head, I was surprised that the 5200 only beat the 440mx by like 10 percent cpu or so. the 440 actually scaled my HDTV better, both my 5200's push the image off to the right if it is std def broadcast
[03:42:00] jams: think it;s gigabyte
[03:43:00] mchou: dhofstra: hmm? push to the right? what does that mean?
[03:43:00] jams: it's been well over 7 months and I don't feel like opening the case to get a look a the label

[03:45:00] Kronuz: is it on the FAQ?
[03:45:00] batdog|gone is now known as batdog
[03:45:00] dhofstra: mchou: my 440MX scaled the image just perfect. now, the 5200's display HD perfect, but if the HD channel is in SD mode (like for news), the 4:3 content is off center to the right. It still is perfectly on the screen, but the SD stuff in a HD signal somehow gets pushed to the right of the screen
[03:45:00] sphing: Kronuz: I don't know but I need to find out
[03:45:00] Kronuz: sphing: you also configuring it?
[03:46:00] dhofstra: has happened on 3 5200's for me, same modeline, slap a 440mx in there and the SD stuff is centered
[03:46:00] mchou: dhofstra: so you saying I'd be better off getting 440MX? :)
[03:46:00] dhofstra: not really
[03:46:00] dhofstra: think of the right side shift as 'burn in' reducer...
[03:46:00] dhofstra: =)

[03:47:00] sphing: Kronuz: my mythtv was compiled with it... i'm trying to figure out how to install it

[03:47:00] dhofstra: my 2.5 was in the 90 percent cpu, maybe even high 90's but it never skipped with the 440mx
[03:47:00] Kronuz: do I need to re-compile it?
[03:47:00] dhofstra: i'd have to check, but the 5200 is more in the 80s
[03:47:00] GreyFoxx: Kronuz: Yes
[03:47:00] Kronuz: GreyFoxx: yes to it's there by default?
[03:48:00] GreyFoxx: No, Yes you need to recompile if it's not already compiled in

[03:55:00] GreyFoxx: yup

[03:55:00] sphing: i dont even know how to get it
[03:55:00] Kronuz: hehe
[03:56:00] flindet: so, then, if we use XvMC, it does hardware decoding too like a 350?
[03:56:00] GreyFoxx: sphing: Here's a shot in the dark, try google
[03:56:00] sphing: I am... everything is for XFree... nothing for Xorg
[03:56:00] GreyFoxx: flindet: basically. Offloads some of the mpeg decoding to the videocard
[03:57:00] flindet: Hmm.. maybe I should try it. That would sure simplify stuff like mythgame. Do I have to give xorg a "xvmc" driver, or do I just use "nvidia"?
[03:57:00] GreyFoxx: no, just the nvidia driver

[04:12:00] GreyFoxx: SarahEmm: Pretty much cat /dev/video0 > file.mpg
[04:12:00] ananke: SarahEmm : load the drivers, and mplayer /dev/video or /dev/video0 :)
[04:12:00] [Klatuu]: gmplayer /dev/video0
[04:12:00] Ashlar: SarahEmm: yah, what he said ;)
[04:12:00] SarahEmm: okay.. but how do you tune?
[04:12:00] GreyFoxx: or mplayer -cache 8192 /dev/video0
[04:12:00] SarahEmm: and set ntsc/pal and such?
[04:12:00] GreyFoxx: there are a couple of tuning apps/scrips with the driver
[04:12:00] GreyFoxx: it defaults to ntsc
[04:12:00] Ashlar: if you're ntsc, should be default
[04:13:00] GreyFoxx: but you can use the ivtvctl for that
[04:13:00] SarahEmm: *nods* ivtvctl seems to be the tool to use, i think?
[04:13:00] SarahEmm: okay...
[04:13:00] Ashlar: yup
[04:13:00] SarahEmm: it wants a frequency though, and i'm not sure in what format or whatever
[04:13:00] Ashlar: ptune / ptune-ui
[04:13:00] SarahEmm: what does that come with?
[04:13:00] GreyFoxx: This is the script I use to load the drivers and set my basic info at boot. but it doesn't tune a channel
[04:13:00] GreyFoxx: http://www.phaze.org/mythtv/rc.ivtv
[04:13:00] GreyFoxx: SarahEmm: ivtv drivers/source

[04:13:00] SarahEmm: ptune.pl :)
[04:13:00] [Klatuu]: I want more than black screen when I am watching live tv
[04:14:00] Ashlar: when I set up a new card, I usually use ivtvctl to set the input, then ptune to set the freq (if tuner input) then mplayer /dev/videoX
[04:15:00] SarahEmm: cool, thanks. getting ptune running now

[05:33:00] ananke: briand : uhmm, what's the issue
[05:34:00] briand: the issue is, I don't know how to do that.  :)
[05:34:00] gnarface: uh
[05:34:00] briand: and I don't appear to have a mkfs.reiserfs command
[05:34:00] gnarface: mkreiserfs /dev/hdwhatever
[05:34:00] ananke: uhmm, backup your data, format it with reiserfs, restore the data
[05:34:00] briand: there is no data to back up. brand new myth install, only a "lost+found" directory on that partition
[05:34:00] gnarface: Beirdo: java applet for streaming video. part of the flumotion.net project
[05:35:00] Beirdo: and why would we know about it here?
[05:35:00] gnarface: haha.
[05:35:00] ananke: briand : there are no directories on partitions. they can only exist on filesystems. this means, you already have a filesystem on it, and most likely it's not reiserfs
[05:35:00] gnarface: briand: fricking mkreiserfs [devicename] its nothard
[05:35:00] gnarface: not hard
[05:35:00] Beirdo: this isn't #flumotion ;)
[05:36:00] gnarface: Beirdo: btw which perl modules does nuvexport rely on?
[05:36:00] briand: well, without trying, I'm gonna gues that 'fricking' is not a valid command.
[05:36:00] gnarface: mythtv::db for one...
[05:36:00] gnarface: is there others?
[05:36:00] Beirdo: I don't remember, you'd have to look
[05:36:00] briand: also appears, as I stated at the outset, that I don't have mkreiserfs either.
[05:36:00] briand: thus the question.
[05:36:00] Beirdo: mythtv::db is part of nuvexport
[05:36:00] Beirdo: you have to make install
[05:36:00] ananke: briand : that question would be better suited for a channel that supports your distro
[05:36:00] Beirdo: anyways, I'm going to bed
[05:37:00] ananke: briand : as it has very little to do with mythtv
[05:37:00] Beirdo: you all have fun

[14:52:00] mejo: Beirdo: what, pasting the lines, or what do you mean?
[14:52:00] mejo: ah, sorry.
[14:52:00] mejo: next time i'll do.
[14:53:00] Beirdo: :)
[14:53:00] Beirdo: you did do a ./configure, right?
[14:53:00] mejo: anyway, do you have any assumptions why it fails to build from source for me?

[16:09:00] iggy: okay, I tried rolling back to the last ivtv driver I was using, and I'm still having trouble getting mythtv to change to the correct channel before it starts recording
[16:10:00] Ashlar: iggy, can you change channels via ptune, or in livetv?
[16:10:00] iggy: well, I've never had much luck with livetv, but with ptune yes
[16:11:00] iggy: I can mplayer /dev/video0 and use ptune in another term, and it'll change channels just fine
[16:11:00] ** BlueCamel feeds his projector with dvi. **
[16:11:00] Ashlar: well, that's good.. means it's not a tuner module issue
[16:11:00] BlueCamel: the lack of dvi on a epia board has me going the combinded badkend-frontend route
[16:12:00] BlueCamel: using nvidia *cough* I hope
[16:12:00] Ashlar: BlueCamel: I thought there was a mini-itx with dvi
[16:12:00] BlueCamel: I swore I would never buy nvidia for linux
[16:12:00] iggy: yeah, I'm guessing it's mythtv/mythtv's dislike for "beta" drivers
[16:12:00] iggy: just don't know how to go about narrowing it down
[16:12:00] BlueCamel: Ashlar: Hmm, I haven't seen it yet
[16:12:00] iggy: Beirdo: help a brother out here
[16:13:00] BlueCamel: Ashlar: with the ce266 mpeg decoder, 1ghz cpu, dvi, and output of hdtv would be nice
[16:13:00] BlueCamel: but I might be asking a lot :)
[16:13:00] Beirdo: hmm, what?
[16:13:00] iggy: BlueCamel: I don't think an epia could handle hdtv
[16:14:00] Beirdo: yeah, not bloody likely
[16:14:00] Beirdo: you be dreaming, BlueCamel
[16:14:00] Ashlar: BlueCamel: http://www.viavpsd.com/product/epia_ms_spec.j . . . rboardId=281
[16:14:00] BlueCamel: I thought that was the point of the unichromie drivers with mpeg decoding
[16:14:00] Ashlar: dvi / lds header, it appears

[16:15:00] Beirdo: feel free to prove us wrong
[16:15:00] iggy: there's much more than just mpeg decoding that has to be done to an hdtv stream I believe
[16:15:00] BlueCamel: using xvmc + unichrome on the via ce266
[16:15:00] BlueCamel: Yeah, don't know one way or the other, just repeating what I see on the list
[16:15:00] Beirdo: but I'm pretty sure there ain't nearly enough oomph in a mini-itx board to possibly do HDTV
[16:16:00] iggy: I see people in here with >2 Ghz celerons that have trouble with it
[16:16:00] Ashlar: actually, one of the newer mini-itx's has both mpeg-2/4 hw decoding
[16:16:00] BlueCamel: I saw that Ashlar, was dual cpu as well iirc
[16:16:00] Beirdo: so?
[16:16:00] BlueCamel: iggy: using xmvc too?
[16:16:00] iggy: Beirdo: ignore them, help me
[16:16:00] Beirdo: so does the PVR-350, it can't do HDTV decoding last I heard
[16:17:00] Beirdo: iggy: whazzup?
[16:17:00] iggy: BlueCamel: no idea what other people use
[16:17:00] BlueCamel: anyway
[16:17:00] iggy: Beirdo: mythtv hates me... fix it

[16:17:00] ** BlueCamel will try it soon **
[16:17:00] Beirdo: have a shotgun
[16:17:00] Beirdo: OK, that's likely a tuner issue
[16:18:00] iggy: ptune works fine

[16:24:00] iggy: I think so
[16:24:00] Beirdo: likely not that then
[16:24:00] iggy: but some of the channels in my lineup are not really there
[16:24:00] Ashlar: check the backend logs, it usually complains about that
[16:24:00] Beirdo: I don't have any -150 experience, so I dunno specifics to look for

[16:26:00] SarahEmm: hihi
[16:27:00] Beirdo: hmm
[16:27:00] Beirdo: not off hand, sorry. need someone with a bit more of a -150 clue here
[16:27:00] Beirdo: j-rod|afk is likely still asleep, but he could potentially help
[16:27:00] iggy: I don't think it's a 150 problem personally
[16:28:00] iggy: so, what about this?
[16:28:00] Beirdo: OK, did you change anything other than ivtv?
[16:28:00] iggy: I had 3 set as the starting channel for one of the tuners, but I manually took 3 out of the lineup

[16:30:00] iggy: been a little sidetracked for the past couple of weeks you know, so I'm not sure when things actually broke or when I made changes that could have done it

[16:37:00] Ashlar: (restart the backend)

[16:39:00] Beirdo: yep
[16:39:00] Beirdo: at least reminding you to do it might be nice

[18:51:00] SarahEmm: any other ideas?
[18:52:00] JonK: SarahEmm problems with the 500?
[18:52:00] SarahEmm: yeah heh :)
[18:52:00] iggy: try different ivtv versions
[18:52:00] JonK: I just walked in, what's it doing?
[18:52:00] SarahEmm: just getting static when i mplayer the device
[18:52:00] JonK: static like tv static? do you have a cable plugged in?
[18:52:00] SarahEmm: tv like static, yes
[18:53:00] JonK: and not in the fm slot
[18:53:00] SarahEmm: and yes, i have a cable plugged in :P
[18:53:00] SarahEmm: yes, the tv slot
[18:53:00] JonK: have you tried tuning with ivtvctl?
[18:53:00] JonK: the tune.pl script
[18:55:00] SarahEmm: i'm using ivtvctl -u 0x0000000000003000 -p 7
[18:55:00] SarahEmm: then ptune.pl 3
[18:55:00] SarahEmm: then mplayer /dev/video0
[18:55:00] SarahEmm: that look like it should work?
[18:55:00] JonK: is -p the type?
[18:55:00] iggy: input
[18:55:00] JonK: should it be ntsc?
[18:56:00] JonK: or pal?
[18:56:00] SarahEmm: ntsc
[18:56:00] SarahEmm: -p is the input, i think it's 7?
[18:56:00] SarahEmm: 7 and 6 are both shown as Tuner
[18:56:00] SarahEmm: something i read said the -500 uses 7
[18:56:00] JonK: mine i think is 6 for both, i'm in office so cant look at my notes
[18:56:00] SarahEmm: hrm
[18:56:00] SarahEmm: lemme try 6 again then
[18:56:00] JonK: (they at home)
[18:57:00] JonK: try 6 — couldn't hurt?
[18:57:00] JonK: do you get anything on /dev/video1?
[18:57:00] JonK: and is this your only card?
[18:58:00] SarahEmm: also just static
[18:58:00] SarahEmm: and yes, only card
[18:58:00] SarahEmm: this is my devel backend, took out the old card
[18:58:00] JonK: you're blessed enough to have a non-devl backend as well?
[18:59:00] SarahEmm: video1 does the same thing, static
[18:59:00] SarahEmm: yeah, i have a seperate one for testing and coding on before i promote it to the live one
[18:59:00] SarahEmm: so i don't screw up stuff on the one that's in main use
[18:59:00] JonK: does it look like no signal static? (snow) or more black
[18:59:00] JonK: i only have the main one,
[18:59:00] JonK: it's mass fux0red at the moment
[19:00:00] JonK: and a second frontend that's compiling everything right now
[19:00:00] JonK: anything funky in dmesg?
[19:01:00] SarahEmm: no sigfnal static
[19:02:00] SarahEmm: my log output from loading modules:
[19:02:00] SarahEmm: http://pastebin.ca/13973
[19:04:00] SarahEmm: hmm, wait a sec....
[19:04:00] iggy: it's setting ntsc

[19:04:00] SarahEmm: iggy: right.. i'm in north america
[19:05:00] iggy: yeah, but you said it was setting pal
[19:05:00] JonK: i wondered about all the wm8775 output
[19:06:00] SarahEmm: if i don't force it iggy, when i go to play with mplayer it changes it to pal
[19:06:00] JonK: that all looks fine, what's in modprobe.conf
[19:06:00] JonK: or modprobe.d
[19:06:00] iggy: what kind of mplayer command line are you using?
[19:06:00] SarahEmm: iggy: just mplayer /dev/video0
[19:07:00] SarahEmm: JonK: nothing related to the modules i'm using at all
[19:07:00] iggy: try: cat /dev/video0 > tmp.mpg & mplayer tmp.mpg
[19:07:00] JonK: anyone happen to be using a snapstream firefly?
[19:07:00] iggy: sounds like mplayer may be doing something funny
[19:07:00] JonK: i think that's what she's been doing

[19:17:00] SarahEmm: nothing related to ivtv

[19:23:00] JonK: you need the same line ending in 81–1 ivtv
[19:23:00] JonK: and then options cx25840 i2c_enable=1,1
[19:25:00] SarahEmm: i don't need that line unless it want it to autoload the module when i access the video device.. i'm manually loading
[19:25:00] SarahEmm: i had the i2c_enable, iggy said to remove it heh

[19:27:00] SarahEmm: i feel unbeleivably stupid.
[19:27:00] SarahEmm: SECOND TIME I'VE DONE THAT
[19:28:00] SarahEmm: it helps if you have an uninterrupted cable path from the incoming cable connection in the basement to the card ;)
[19:28:00] Beirdo: hehe
[19:28:00] Beirdo: I'd imagine so
[19:28:00] Ashlar: lol
[19:29:00] JonK: i asked if it was plugged in!!
[19:29:00] SarahEmm: second time i've done that in a few months, spent hours and hours...
[19:29:00] SarahEmm: JonK: the cable was plugged into the card
[19:29:00] SarahEmm: unfortunately, that cable did not quite go all the way...
[19:29:00] JonK: lol
[19:30:00] JonK: i have the enable line in my conf file, but i also need it with -1 for the pvr350
[19:30:00] iggy: yeah, I think you only need it if you have mixed cards
[19:31:00] SarahEmm: i'm working on getting that cable hooked up.. bbiaf.
[19:33:00] SarahEmm: my partner must have unplugged that while we were cleaning a month ago, and i hadn't used the devel box since then...
[19:33:00] SarahEmm: lemme try now :)
[19:33:00] JonK: she's blaming partner!

[19:34:00] SarahEmm: lemme try the card....
[19:34:00] RoflMyWaffle: Hey, I gotta question for you really smart people out there
[19:34:00] RoflMyWaffle: I'm just starting with mythtv because of the functionality....
[19:35:00] RoflMyWaffle: ....but I have direct tv, is there a way the program guides will still work with a composite capture?
[19:35:00] JonK: mythtv provides it's own program guide
[19:35:00] Beirdo: not off the sat
[19:35:00] RoflMyWaffle: I understand that
[19:36:00] RoflMyWaffle: does zap2it offer the program guide
[19:36:00] Beirdo: yes
[19:36:00] RoflMyWaffle: its hard to explain what exactly i mean
[19:37:00] SarahEmm: woo!
[19:37:00] SarahEmm: t'was it!
[19:37:00] SarahEmm: both tuners work great now:)
[19:37:00] SarahEmm: stupid sarahemm :P
[19:37:00] JonK: but now that it's working SWEET!
[19:37:00] SarahEmm: yeah!
[19:37:00] JonK: it's always the best part, whatever the reason it was not
[19:37:00] SarahEmm: and with no module options of any kind to any modules :P
[19:37:00] SarahEmm: i spent hours playing with options...
[19:37:00] RoflMyWaffle: do any of you actually use myth tv with direct tv, if so, does it work good, or it the fact that you have 2 interfaces (the dtv reciever and myth tv box) make changing channels and recording diffucult or confusing?
[19:38:00] Ashlar: woot
[19:38:00] SarahEmm: i checked if the outlet was conneted to the incoming cable feed at the demarc, and checked if the cable was plugged into the box, but never checked if the cable was plugged in at the outlet end....
[19:38:00] Beirdo: analog cable here
[19:38:00] JonK: stupid ex
[19:38:00] RoflMyWaffle: aww... :(
[19:38:00] JonK: analog here too
[19:39:00] RoflMyWaffle: I want to use it, but the fact that you gotta change channels with the dtv remote, then record with the mythbox makes it seem too confusing
[19:39:00] iggy: google for ir blaster
[19:39:00] Beirdo: no you don't
[19:39:00] Beirdo: :)
[19:39:00] RoflMyWaffle: ir blaster?
[19:40:00] iggy: yes
[19:40:00] RoflMyWaffle: OHHH! Is that one of those dtv tuner cards?!?!
[19:40:00] RoflMyWaffle: I just remembered those
[19:40:00] iggy: GOOGLE FOR IT
[19:40:00] RoflMyWaffle: i will
[19:40:00] JonK: you tell him iggy
[19:40:00] Ashlar: RoflMyWaffle: ir blaster.. sends IR and changes channels on the dtv box
[19:40:00] SarahEmm: woooohoooo nice picture too :)
[19:42:00] RoflMyWaffle: ooo. THIS MAKES EVERYTHING EASY!
[19:42:00] RoflMyWaffle: But configuration with linux/myth tv, you sure this is linux capable?
[19:43:00] RoflMyWaffle: o wait
[19:43:00] RoflMyWaffle: says here works with myth tv
[19:43:00] RoflMyWaffle: skeet....
[19:43:00] JonK: y
[19:44:00] RoflMyWaffle: looks like this one would be best for myth tv and dtv...
[19:44:00] RoflMyWaffle: http://mytvstore.com/product_id_004.html
[19:44:00] Ashlar: if you feel like paying too much, sure.. try http://www.irblaster.info/
[19:44:00] SarahEmm: wow, this rocks :) Yay!
[19:45:00] RoflMyWaffle: hmmm, now dont yell at me if they already have this, but what would also be cool is an IR reciever for you mythbox so you can teach it like, when this button on the remote is pressed, do this function
[19:46:00] SarahEmm: that exists
[19:46:00] SarahEmm: i'm using it right now, in fact
[19:46:00] SarahEmm: *points in front of her*
[19:46:00] JonK: but she didnt yell
[19:46:00] RoflMyWaffle: w00t!
[19:46:00] SarahEmm: my xbox is a myth frontend, i'm using the xbox dvd receiver on that
[19:46:00] RoflMyWaffle: wow, thats crazy cool
[19:46:00] RoflMyWaffle: hows the xbox capture?
[19:47:00] JonK: it doesn't that why she said "Frontend"
[19:47:00] RoflMyWaffle: still new to this
[19:47:00] JonK: using mythtv, you can have many computers (each with a tv)
[19:47:00] JonK: attach to one backend
[19:47:00] JonK: and retreive and play content stored on the backend
[19:47:00] iggy: SarahEmm: soon, you'll be on your way to recording multiple things at once, and filling up your hard drives with stuff you are never going to watch like the rest of us
[19:47:00] RoflMyWaffle: i thought a front end was a small installation that drew the programs and stuff from the backend
[19:48:00] JonK: yes, and she has one installed on her xbox
[19:48:00] JonK: y
[19:49:00] RoflMyWaffle: but i thought the front end just basically, rather than saving all the files to the front end, it sends em straight to the back end
[19:49:00] RoflMyWaffle: guess not
[19:49:00] RoflMyWaffle: so a front end is just used to watch the recorded videos from another box?
[19:49:00] JonK: mythfrontend is a software program
[19:49:00] JonK: it runs on each computer you want to access media from
[19:49:00] RoflMyWaffle: oh ok
[19:49:00] RoflMyWaffle: ahh, now im getting it
[19:50:00] JonK: if you have mythfrontend running on the same amchine taht is running mythbackend then it's all self contained
[19:50:00] SarahEmm: the backend does the recording and storage of media, the frontend pulls said media from the backend and plays it to you
[19:50:00] JonK: but you can run mythfrontend on a machine different than the machine running mythbackend (another software program)
[19:50:00] j-rod|afk is now known as j-rod
[19:50:00] RoflMyWaffle: oh ok
[19:50:00] RoflMyWaffle: think i might just use my mac mini for a front end or something
[19:51:00] SarahEmm: does myth have a working frontend on ppc yet?
[19:51:00] RoflMyWaffle: believe so
[19:51:00] Beirdo: has for a long time in OSX
[19:51:00] iggy: definitely on linux/ppc
[19:51:00] SarahEmm: ahh okay
[19:51:00] RoflMyWaffle: honestly, i just got hyped about myth tv from an episode of systm
[19:51:00] SarahEmm: coolies
[19:51:00] SarahEmm: mythtv rocks :)

[19:52:00] ** RoflMyWaffle is hyped and needs money to buy parts for mythbox **
[19:52:00] SarahEmm: heh
[19:52:00] Beirdo: RoflMyWaffle: that will always be the case
[19:52:00] xris: Beirdo: not true. *I* need money for a firewall box. my mythbox is happy.
[19:53:00] RoflMyWaffle: so whats that remote thing called, where you train it to your regular remote buttons to do functions on the mythbox
[19:53:00] Beirdo: xris: you were *given* an HDTV card, don't pull that on me :)
[19:53:00] Beirdo: hehe
[19:53:00] xris: yeah, but I can't use it because of crappy reception.
[19:53:00] Beirdo: hehe
[19:53:00] Beirdo: see, you need more money... for antennas
[19:53:00] SarahEmm: RoflMyWaffle: ir receiver?
[19:53:00] xris: now, if someone were to give me a dvb card that I could use with my dish, that'd be something else.
[19:53:00] RoflMyWaffle: please read up, i dont think anyone saw that question.....
[19:54:00] JonK: question?
[19:54:00] RoflMyWaffle: so whats that remote thing called, where you train it to your regular remote buttons to do functions on the mythbox

[20:40:00] sphing: iggy: i got it.. major problem was that emerge mythtv disables xvmc
[20:40:00] SarahEmm: well, VBI works better than i imagined it owuld...

[20:46:00] ShockValue: i dont know about the VBI but NTSC is right I assume since i live in the USA
[20:46:00] ShockValue: this is in mythtvsetup program, not in the frontend settings.. am i in the right spot?

[22:39:00] phi0x: well when i do this in fedora core 3: /sbin/lspci
[22:40:00] iggy: sphing: because I said so
[22:40:00] phi0x: i get this info for tv tuner: 00:0f.0 Multimedia video controller: Conexant Winfast TV2000 XP (rev 05)
[22:40:00] phi0x: now i dont have a winfast tv2000xp in my media box
[22:40:00] phi0x: only ati hdtv wonder
[22:40:00] SarahEmm: that's likely it then
[22:40:00] SarahEmm: do you know if it's supported at all?
[22:40:00] sphing: iggy: well is there anything you can i should look out for?
[22:40:00] phi0x: well what you mean by supported, on ati site under linux drivers section they have no tv tuner support link
[22:41:00] phi0x: for drivers
[22:41:00] phi0x: they dont have drivers for the tv tuner for linux.
[22:41:00] iggy: sphing: no, use portage, that's what it's there for
[22:41:00] sphing: i have xvmc already in my use
[22:41:00] sphing: and my ./configure from portage disables it
[22:42:00] SarahEmm: phi0x: okay.... i mean 'supported' as in 'is possible to use in linux' :)
[22:42:00] SarahEmm: sometimes that info is hard to find tho
[22:42:00] SarahEmm: especially if you don't even know what chipset.. can you look at the card?
[22:42:00] iggy: sphing: then figure out why, don't try to beat portage at it's own game.... work with it, not against it
[22:42:00] phi0x: chipsets on the hdtv wonder and theater 550 pro are encased in the metal box
[22:43:00] SarahEmm: phi0x: oh. hrm.
[22:43:00] phi0x: you know the metal encasement on tv tuners, well chipset is under it.
[22:43:00] iggy: google
[22:43:00] SarahEmm: ahh, doesn't look supported as of end of march
[22:43:00] sphing: iggy: well how do i turn it on then?
[22:43:00] GreyFoxx: Under the tuner? Odd. Normally they are away from the tuner to avoid the head and any rf interference
[22:43:00] sphing: i'm new to gentoo
[22:44:00] iggy: sphing: you have USE=unichrome too?

[23:05:00] epoch: and my video playback is choppy
[23:05:00] sphing: what board?
[23:05:00] iggy: sphing: good, when that gets done, try mythtv again
[23:05:00] epoch: what gives?
[23:05:00] sphing: is it a epia board?
[23:05:00] epoch: sphing: nvidia geforce4

[23:05:00] sphing: epoch are you using xvmc
[23:05:00] epoch: yep
[23:06:00] braniff: epoch: could try setting the recording to lower quality
[23:06:00] epoch: lower quality eh.. hrm
[23:06:00] iggy: or google for that error, and get at least 20 things to try
[23:06:00] iggy: :o
[23:06:00] epoch: heh
[23:06:00] epoch: tx
[23:06:00] sphing: epoch: whats the %CPU when your watching tv
[23:07:00] epoch: how do I lower recording quality?
[23:07:00] sphing: recording profiles

[23:19:00] SarahEmm: PVC?
[23:19:00] SarahEmm: i don't think it'll affect any plastics no...
[23:19:00] sskk: Video box then.
[23:19:00] GotD0t: heh
[23:19:00] SarahEmm: what's the PC used for?
[23:19:00] SarahEmm: ahh
[23:19:00] SarahEmm: a myth box? depends.. probably not a huge difference
[23:19:00] SarahEmm: 10k scsi you mean, or sata?
[23:20:00] sskk: had a sata in mind
[23:20:00] SarahEmm: probably not worth the extra money.
[23:20:00] SarahEmm: 10k costs a Lot more
[23:21:00] sskk: sure. Its just that I don't like the long time spend switching to another channel, I thought that maybe part of that latency was dye to a slow disk...
[23:23:00] SarahEmm: naw
[23:23:00] SarahEmm: i doubt you'd see any difference with a faster disk
[23:23:00] braniff: there's a certain amount of latency built into any PVR because it's recording and then playing back
[23:23:00] epoch: hrm
[23:23:00] epoch: does XvMC depend on GLX in any way?
[23:24:00] epoch: or, is it related to that?
[23:24:00] epoch: I've got glx disabled, because X won't start with it enabled (for some weird reason)

[23:25:00] sskk: so, there's no known trick for speeding up channel switching? (not even with two input tuners?)
[23:27:00] SarahEmm: woooohooo! PVR-500 is working :)
[23:27:00] SarahEmm: of course, still no captions, but i'm getting there slowly
[23:28:00] iggy: epoch: not specifically dependent, but glx with nvidia cards means a lot more

[23:28:00] sskk: SarahEmm – Have you had your machine turned completely off (not just rebooted) after you had it working...? you should better do that... After I halt my box, the tuner won't tune – then after a reinstall it works again – I have no solution...

[23:29:00] SarahEmm: you're on a -500 too
[23:29:00] SarahEmm: ?
[23:30:00] sskk: no, 150, but I understand a 500= 2 x 150s
[23:30:00] SarahEmm: yeah, basically
[23:30:00] SarahEmm: seems to work great other than myth's lack of captioning support for it
[23:30:00] SarahEmm: the driver itself seems to support it OK, i can get the data from the commandline, but myth doesn't usei t
[23:31:00] SarahEmm: so i start digging into code soon i think

I'm using nvidia for output and this morning sort of worked, just it seems it was connected to the composite when it should have been connected to the Super video (all black and white)
[23:32:00] SarahEmm: err, what? is it connected to svideo or composite?
[23:32:00] SarahEmm: and has that changed?
[23:32:00] sphing: Kronuz run it froma command line... then when you close the front end, you can see what error messages are
[23:32:00] Kronuz: ... but I changed something, and I don't know what it was (I was trying to fix the black and white stuff)
[23:33:00] Kronuz: sphing: froma? I'll try :)
[23:33:00] Kronuz: also I'm going to use that xvattr thing for the blue border

Then I compile an install some of the newest ivtv drivers and copy the HcwMakoA.ROM file from the CD, that came with my pvr-150. Almost everything works (even though I can't change the tuning through mythtv or via ptune.pl). No matter how much I reboot, I can't break the install. Now when I shutdown my box completely, waits a moment, and then boots, I can only see snow, and
[23:58:00] sskk: Guess it's something about the firmware, on the tuner chip?
