[00:00:00] | xris: | quink: google adsense ads on things like the irc channel faq page. |

[00:01:00] | xris: | at this point, I think I want to just get to $100 to get my check and will take them down. |
[00:02:00] | xris: | people can make micropayments with paypall if they want. |
[00:02:00] | gr8nash: | micropayments? |
[00:02:00] | gr8nash: | heh never heard of that |
[00:03:00] | xris: | gr8nash: well, people ask if they can donate for mythweb/nuvexport... (no one actually does, but they do ask if they can).. I think you can send as little as $.01 through paypal |
[00:04:00] | quink: | I'll send you 10$ if you incorporate mythstreamtv and let it stream videos and music |
[00:04:00] | Beirdo: | heh |
[00:04:00] | Beirdo: | that's a wussie bounty |
[00:04:00] | Beirdo: | :) |
[00:04:00] | quink: | i know. |
[00:05:00] | xris: | quink: I'll take you up on it (it's already on my todo list) |
[00:06:00] | xris: | problem is that there are other things lower on the list. heh. |
[00:06:00] | quink: | yeah well, you have a 10hr deadline. |

[00:08:00] | rjune: | quink: he might be more willing if you threw in a pizza and some beer |
[00:09:00] | quink: | isn't that 10$? |
[00:09:00] | quink: | personal pan pizza and 1 beer. |
[00:09:00] | quink: | heheh |
[00:09:00] | rjune: | that's so weak |
[00:09:00] | quink: | hey i'm a poor college kid. |
[00:09:00] | xris: | ok. now the nuvexport website has google ads. |
[00:09:00] | quink: | i'm making 300$ less then i need a month |
[00:09:00] | rjune: | so you can't afford pizza and beer? I've never met a college kid that poor |
[00:09:00] | kormoc: | quink, so spending it on myth hardware is prudent? :P |
[00:10:00] | quink: | nah it was spent a long time ago |
[00:10:00] | quink: | my box is like 2 years old |
[00:10:00] | quink: | or more |
[00:10:00] | quink: | i think i've been in since myth .10 or .11 i forget |
[00:11:00] | xris: | heh, that's why I set up the ads. figured people'd be more likely to click ads than shell out their own money. |

[00:15:00] | quink: | hahah |
[00:15:00] | quink: | super awesome. |
[00:16:00] | _Nero_: | can anyone make anything of this? Opening OSS audio device '/dev/dsp'. Couldn't get registers: No such process. |
[00:16:00] | xris: | should click on the "therainforestsite.com" link on forevermore.net, too — I don't get money for that one, and it goes to a good cause (should click that daily, anyway) |

[00:37:00] | gr8nash: | xris, you plan on incorperating mythstreamtv? |
[00:37:00] | xris: | gr8nash: someday. |
[00:37:00] | gr8nash: | is isaac ok with that.. since its vlc? |
[00:38:00] | xris: | would be an optional flag to enable. and it wouldn't require vlc.. just need support in mythweb to better integrate with it. |
[00:38:00] | xris: | then people can install vlc and mythstreamtv if they want, but not have to patch mythweb. |
[00:38:00] | gr8nash: | ahh good idea.. makes sense |
[00:39:00] | gr8nash: | what about that remote control from the web i saw |
[00:39:00] | gr8nash: | what ever happened with that? |
[00:39:00] | xris: | needs some help from the mythstreamtv author, too. I won't add it unless it's more easily configurable than it was when I last looked at it. |
[00:41:00] | gr8nash: | did that guy with a web gui remote ever submit a patch? |
[00:41:00] | xris: | no clue |
[00:41:00] | gr8nash: | did you ever see it? |
[00:41:00] | xris: | I mark patches when they come into my mailbox, but I don't really look at them until I have time to devote to them. |
[00:41:00] | gr8nash: | the interface i mean |
[00:42:00] | gr8nash: | uh ohh computer starting to crash |

[01:05:00] | kormoc: | your mythbackend is protocal version 17, and mythweb is talking version 15 |

[01:19:00] | kormoc: | riddlebox, iirc my mythbackend and mythweb both talk protocal version 17 and they are both 18.1. So yes, the backend seems to be 18.1 in your case |
[01:19:00] | riddlebox: | do you think I should just compile it on my own? |

[01:21:00] | twisted_one_: | kormoc, can you help me for a minute, trying to help a buddy get myth going and we are troubleshooting his machine |
[01:22:00] | kormoc: | twisted_one, what's up? |
[01:22:00] | twisted_one_: | I need to know how I can tell if hte db is getting created properly, well created at all for that matter |
[01:22:00] | riddlebox: | kormoc: for mandrake the one I had going before it was in /var/www/html/ |

[01:25:00] | kormoc: | twisted_one, mysql logs say anything? |
[01:26:00] | riddlebox: | kormoc:nope no extra mythweb in there |
[01:26:00] | twisted_one_: | kormoc, its a new setup so doubtful |
[01:27:00] | twisted_one_: | looking at the setup script it is there, but the fs is 0 so Im going to copy over the script from my box |
[01:28:00] | kormoc: | riddlebox, if you move /var/html/mythweb to /var/html/mythweb.old and refresh the page, does it change? |

[01:45:00] | twisted_one: | I ran through mythsetup just fine |
[01:45:00] | twisted_one: | and then I ran mythfrontend and it locked |
[01:45:00] | kormoc: | twisted_one, don't think so... |
[01:45:00] | twisted_one: | and now whenever I go to use mythsetup it locks as well |
[01:45:00] | twisted_one: | I half wonder if its the theme |
[01:45:00] | kormoc: | odd |
[01:45:00] | twisted_one: | is there a way to change that outside of the mythgui? |

[04:12:00] | AlHaz: | dmesg: remind me what that is |
[04:13:00] | GreyFoxx: | the section is called "Configuring the Zap2It.com DataDirect service".. Can't get much more clear than that |
[04:13:00] | dmesg: | AlHaz: it's a chipset made my philips for capture cards |
[04:13:00] | dmesg: | my card has it, but the driver isn't loading correctly – I get no audio or video, and can't change the input in either tvtime or xawtv |
[04:14:00] | AlHaz: | dmesg: analog or dvb? |
[04:14:00] | dmesg: | analog |
[04:14:00] | AlHaz: | dmesg: 2.6 kernel? |
[04:14:00] | dmesg: | yes |
[04:14:00] | AlHaz: | dmesg: build your own? |
[04:15:00] | dmesg: | no – precompiled debian 2.6.11-1-k7 |
[04:15:00] | AlHaz: | hmm |
[04:15:00] | __Ace__: | how do I make mythtv recognice an .avi file (divx/xvid), when its put in the /video folder? |
[04:15:00] | AlHaz: | well, I've noticed in my own romps through 2.6 that it's much more possible than in 2.4 to fail to meet the actual dependencies of a given driver |
[04:15:00] | dmesg: | but 2.4x might do it? |
[04:15:00] | __Ace__: | I mean, mythtv seems to be using mplayer, so should be able to play it |
[04:16:00] | AlHaz: | the dvb core has to be monolithic before you can build drivers for nearly all of the dvb front ends, for example |
[04:16:00] | dmesg: | don't I have to load a bunch of kernel patches? |
[04:16:00] | AlHaz: | there might be something in there that needs to be built differently |
[04:16:00] | dmesg: | AlHaz: actually, I'm thinking that the "type" parameter that the saa7134 module is loading under is wrong, but I can't find a list of card types |
[04:16:00] | AlHaz: | dmesg: what kernel messages do you get when that driver loads and you try to use it? |
[04:17:00] | dmesg: | however, 2.6 kern autodetects the card and uses that driver |
[04:17:00] | AlHaz: | oh, there should be a file called CARDLIST |
[04:17:00] | AlHaz: | somewhere in the kernel source documentation |
[04:17:00] | AlHaz: | probably under bttv, if that driver is one of the ones maintained by the bttv guy |
[04:18:00] | dmesg: | in my dmesg I get "tuner 2–004b: tuner type not set" |
[04:18:00] | AlHaz: | that's certainly a problem |
[04:18:00] | dmesg: | yeah |
[04:18:00] | dmesg: | but I'm clueless |
[04:18:00] | AlHaz: | which card do you have? |
[04:19:00] | dmesg: | it's an msi tv@nywhere plus (philips saa7133 chipset as listed by lspci) |
[04:19:00] | steven_h: | hey, stupid question: how come in mythtv-setup, in the cahnnel editor, I can't get to the Scan Channels or Advanced buttons? |
[04:19:00] | steven_h: | the cursor skips right over them when using arrow keys... any help? |
[04:19:00] | iggy: | need a newer tuner module |
[04:19:00] | AlHaz: | iggy: or it isn't detected |
[04:19:00] | dmesg: | yaeh |
[04:20:00] | iggy: | I believe that one is detected |
[04:20:00] | dmesg: | tuner module is loaded, however |
[04:20:00] | Agrajag-: | steven_h: i think those are just for dvb cards |
[04:20:00] | iggy: | that card has a silicon tuner? |
[04:20:00] | AlHaz: | in 2.6.12.2 there isn't an entry in the list for the msi card |
[04:20:00] | dmesg: | AlHaz: I don't know |
[04:21:00] | AlHaz: | so you'll have to figure out what tuner it has, and pass the right arguments |
[04:21:00] | dmesg: | yeah |
[04:21:00] | dmesg: | that's how it's looking |
[04:21:00] | dmesg: | or take it back to the store and get an ati ve instead ;) |
[04:21:00] | AlHaz: | which isn't a big deal |

[04:24:00] | iggy: | if you don't have those, you need to grab a newer tuner module (video4linux snapshot or new kernel) |
[04:25:00] | dmesg: | I'm thinking of just getting 2.6.12–2 from kernel.org |

[05:02:00] | GreyFoxx: | The same file extensions are used to detect the files, but it's not currently doing any crc checks |
[05:02:00] | Rhapsody2: | how do i get to the video source and tuner card setting screen on KnoppMyth? |
[05:03:00] | steven_h: | GreyFoxx: but if I don't define a video source, I can't define any tv channels, right?? |
[05:03:00] | steven_h: | Rhapsody2: run mythtv-setup from the command line |
[05:03:00] | GreyFoxx: | gr8nash_home: huh? guess at what roms you want to play? I'm not sure exactly what you mean |
[05:03:00] | Rhapsody2: | k, thx |
[05:03:00] | gr8nash_home: | currently mythgame scans for games and leaves out ~60% of my collection |
[05:03:00] | GreyFoxx: | steven_h: you could make one up, and fill the database manually |
[05:03:00] | ignatius: | welp |
[05:04:00] | GreyFoxx: | gr8nash_home: Oh |
[05:04:00] | ignatius: | looks like this kernel compile is going to take a minute ;) |
[05:04:00] | gr8nash_home: | so its still does that i take it =( |
[05:04:00] | Rhapsody2: | steven_h: perfect, that is what i wanted |
[05:04:00] | GreyFoxx: | well, with the current version (of mine) it will detect them based on file extension, so as long as the extensions are matching it will find them . Also does proper recursive directory searching |
[05:05:00] | gr8nash_home: | sweet so if its a good extension for snes it will add it! nice! |
[05:05:00] | GreyFoxx: | yup |
[05:05:00] | GreyFoxx: | and you can edit the extensions you want to associate with each game player |
[05:05:00] | steven_h: | well, what I did was I defined a video source, connected it to the Television input, and added in three channels in the channel editor. But MythTV won't then let me change channels – it always is stuck on the first one... |
[05:05:00] | gr8nash_home: | you fixed mythgame! |
[05:05:00] | gr8nash_home: | sweet .. !! |
[05:06:00] | GreyFoxx: | I've got a couple screenshots of the new screens in www.phaze.org/mythtv/mythgame/ |
[05:06:00] | GreyFoxx: | you can add/remove emulators/pc games at will. So no code changes are needed to add a new one or to change stuff if the parameters for an emulator changes |
[05:06:00] | gr8nash_home: | well nice.. didnt know you can code.. |
[05:07:00] | GreyFoxx: | plus when setting something as a favourite game it's updated immediatly in the favourite list, no more needing to go out and back into mythgame for it to show up |
[05:07:00] | banyan: | I'm only using avidemux2 to remove commercials and convert to dvd format. |
[05:07:00] | banyan: | though there may be far better ways to do that. |
[05:08:00] | gr8nash_home: | very nice GreyFoxx that is a HUGE improvement to mythgame! |
[05:08:00] | gr8nash_home: | huge |
[05:08:00] | GreyFoxx: | gr8nash_home: heh, It's been an experience learning more of the myth internals, but I've been coding since I was 9 :) |
[05:08:00] | steven_h: | could this have anything to do with the "rank" option in the channel editor – can't find any info about it |
[05:08:00] | GreyFoxx: | so while I'm not the greatest, I can usually figure my way through just about anything :) |

[05:11:00] | GreyFoxx: | steven_h: can't say I've personally tried adding channels manually so I'm not 100% sure exactly what stepped you would need to go through |
[05:11:00] | gr8nash_home: | i never use the screenshots cause its too much work |
[05:11:00] | gr8nash_home: | =) |
[05:11:00] | gr8nash_home: | the game DB (cant remember the exact name) doesnt have a primary key |
[05:11:00] | gr8nash_home: | so you cant edit it |
[05:12:00] | gr8nash_home: | you could add that as well once you have subversion access |
[05:12:00] | GreyFoxx: | Sure you can, don't need indexes or keys to edit it :) |
[05:12:00] | GreyFoxx: | but I've already got keys/indexes added in my version :) |
[05:12:00] | gr8nash_home: | sweet |
[05:12:00] | gr8nash_home: | webmin doesnt seem to want to edit it.. it just wants me to make a primary key |

[05:18:00] | gr8nash_home: | CyberKnet, not me.. i wish i could do php ;) |
[05:19:00] | xris: | CyberKnet: yeah, that, too |
[05:19:00] | xris: | gr8nash_home: it took me a day to learn it. |
[05:19:00] | steven_h: | so, does anyone else here have any idea how to configure mythTV to work without the channel listings? IE: set up channels manually? |
[05:19:00] | gr8nash_home: | lol.. nice.. not to rub it in or anything |
[05:20:00] | CyberKnet: | xris: Apparently if we set debug level to E_ALL in php.[ini|conf] then it will show variable use prior to assignment... which isn't quite the same thing, but it approximates it fairly nicely. |
[05:21:00] | xris: | ah |
[05:21:00] | gr8nash_home: | xris did you come from a "C" background? |
[05:21:00] | xris: | well, I'd like it to have certain global variables, along with real local variables. |
[05:21:00] | xris: | gr8nash_home: perl |
[05:21:00] | xris: | and pascal before that. |
[05:22:00] | xris: | but I've been coding for long enough that aside from minor differences, most programming languages all look the same. |
[05:22:00] | gr8nash_home: | VB and C(blah) dont look anything alike |
[05:23:00] | gr8nash_home: | the fact that i am faily profecient in visual basic is killing me on cpp |
[05:23:00] | Rhapsody2: | what video card tv out ports work with linux, not requiring any extra drivers, mainly KnoppMyth? |
[05:23:00] | CyberKnet: | gr8nash_home: C[++] and Visual Basic look similar enough. |
[05:23:00] | gr8nash_home: | not to me they dont.. |
[05:23:00] | gr8nash_home: | NOTHING alike by my eye |
[05:24:00] | CyberKnet: | gr8nash_home: take C# (c++/java related language) and VB.NET ... essentially the same languages, just they use different keywords and C# has semicolons at the end. |
[05:24:00] | gr8nash_home: | ok.. not NOTHING..but not ALOT either |
[05:24:00] | AlHaz: | Rhapsody2: heh, i've never seen knoppmyth but I'm going to posit that it won't work out of the box on tv-out in any configuration |

[05:25:00] | CyberKnet: | Rhapsody2: buy an infrared keyboard and keep your sanity. |
[05:25:00] | Rhapsody2: | it was suppose to install it, what should i do? |
[05:25:00] | CyberKnet: | gr8nash_home: Yes. VB6 is an inferior programming language. |
[05:25:00] | Rhapsody2: | it was suppose to load in the drivers |
[05:25:00] | xris: | Rhapsody2: generally, people say that nvidia cards/drivers work best with linux. |
[05:25:00] | CyberKnet: | Rhapsody2: sorry, I have no idea. I use the 500 which doesn't include the remote. |
[05:25:00] | gr8nash_home: | lol.. its inferior compared to what.. thats like saying dos is infereior.. |
[05:25:00] | gr8nash_home: | it was fine for its time |
[05:25:00] | xris: | gr8nash_home: DOS *is* inferior. it lacks tab-completion. ;) (well, without some serious hacking) |
[05:26:00] | CyberKnet: | gr8nash_home: inferior for an object oriented language. Look up the meaning of polymorphism. |
[05:26:00] | Chutt: | my pvr-500's not working :( |

[05:46:00] | Chutt: | right |
[05:46:00] | CyberKnet: | mchou: But also at the same time I removed about 3 splits in my signal and raised it by about 10db at the card. =) |
[05:47:00] | mchou: | CyberKnet: bah, the card has a splitter :) |
[05:47:00] | CyberKnet: | Chutt: well crap. I thought I might have been able to contribute back for a change. out of curiosity, where did you buy it from? |
[05:48:00] | mchou: | CyberKnet: lose at least 4dB right there :) |
[05:48:00] | CyberKnet: | mchou: Yes. I wondered while looking at it if it was an amplified split or not =P" |

[05:49:00] | CyberKnet: | mine was white box, I assumed MCE. it also had an internal breakout cable. |

[05:49:00] | Chutt: | yeah |
[05:49:00] | CyberKnet: | mchou: is yours 492, or 592? |

[06:23:00] | defaultro: | good evening guys |
[06:23:00] | defaultro: | anyone here uses mythvideo? |
[06:23:00] | GreyFoxx: | replaced it and everything works now ? |
[06:23:00] | MonMotha: | GreyFoxx: yup, works great |
[06:23:00] | GreyFoxx: | defaultro: I use it all the time |
[06:23:00] | MonMotha: | excellent picture quality, too |
[06:24:00] | MonMotha: | must have a much better digitizer than the crap bttv |
[06:24:00] | defaultro: | Cool. I would like to know what field I need to modify so that it points to mplayer or xine |
[06:24:00] | defaultro: | GreyFoxx, I'm creating an iso file now. I want to test it later. :) |
[06:24:00] | UncleBill: | as opposed to? |
[06:24:00] | banyan: | I have to say, I recently upgraded from red hat 9 to fc3, and the iec958 optical out playback quality went from really alias-y and bad to cd-quality, so they fixed something there. |
[06:25:00] | MonMotha: | UncleBill: the easy way is to use nuvexport |
[06:25:00] | GreyFoxx: | defaultro: Setup, Video Settings, Player Settings is where you specify the app/commandline to be run |
[06:25:00] | defaultro: | in mythfrontend? |
[06:25:00] | MonMotha: | UncleBill: however, you can do it by hand using mythtranscode and a couple named pipes into your favorite mpeg encoder |
[06:25:00] | MonMotha: | oh wait, bleh |
[06:25:00] | MonMotha: | I can't read apparently |
[06:25:00] | MonMotha: | vobs? just grab it and pass it through transcode |
[06:26:00] | defaultro: | can you please paste me your current configuration? |
[06:26:00] | defaultro: | i mean, the command line |
[06:26:00] | UncleBill: | what params should I use, MonMotha? |
[06:26:00] | GreyFoxx: | default : yes in mythfrontend |
[06:26:00] | defaultro: | o |
[06:26:00] | defaultro: | ok |
[06:26:00] | GreyFoxx: | hold on, I'll grab my info |
[06:26:00] | MonMotha: | UncleBill: my recommendation would be to find a good frontend. transcode is a beast |
[06:27:00] | defaultro: | what about the value that you wrote there, can you share it to me please? |
[06:27:00] | MonMotha: | but I can work out somethign that'll at least work if you like (btw, vob is already MPEG2, just a different container) |
[06:27:00] | UncleBill: | what front end do you recommend? |
[06:27:00] | MonMotha: | if you want to just take the vob and turn it into an mpeg2 a/v multiplex, you can use mplex |
[06:27:00] | UncleBill: | I just want it to be smaller |
[06:27:00] | GreyFoxx: | defaultro: my commandline is – mplayer -fs -zoom -quiet -framedrop -autosync 20 %s |
[06:27:00] | MonMotha: | UncleBill: then why not encode to xvid? |
[06:27:00] | defaultro: | bam ;) thanks GreyFoxx |
[06:28:00] | UncleBill: | how can I do that after I alredy have the .vob? |
[06:28:00] | defaultro: | do i need the first minus sign? |
[06:28:00] | GreyFoxx: | no |
[06:28:00] | MonMotha: | UncleBill: yeah, the vob is the raw file right off the DVD |
[06:28:00] | MonMotha: | most anything can understand it as the input |
[06:28:00] | defaultro: | ok |
[06:29:00] | MonMotha: | UncleBill: look at dvd::rip, it may let you point it at a vob file |
[06:30:00] | GreyFoxx: | man, svn looks to be pretty sweet |
[06:30:00] | UncleBill: | is that a perl package? |
[06:30:00] | defaultro: | GreyFoxx, could it be this field in settings table? VideoDefaultPlayer |

[06:32:00] | UncleBill: | looks like dvd::rip is a full-featured gui-based ripper. I'm hoping for something command line. is transcode my boy? |
[06:32:00] | MonMotha: | UncleBill: oh, if you just want command line, then yeah |
[06:32:00] | MonMotha: | dvd::rip is just a frontend for transcode anyway |
[06:32:00] | MonMotha: | but be aware, transcode is a beast... |
[06:32:00] | ** UncleBill is old-school ** | |
[06:32:00] | MonMotha: | you could also look at mencoder |
[06:32:00] | defaultro: | GreyFoxx, what vo is yours using then? |
[06:32:00] | MonMotha: | heh, normally I use command line stuff too, in preference to frontends at least, but transcode really is a beast |
[06:33:00] | GreyFoxx: | defaultro: It defaults to use xv if it's available |
[06:33:00] | MonMotha: | you can easily work out multi line transcode setups |
[06:33:00] | defaultro: | ok |
[06:33:00] | UncleBill: | yer scaring me. should I even tackle transcode? |

[06:34:00] | UncleBill: | so on transcode, what am I actually converting to and from? you say .vob from mythvideo is really mpeg2? |
[06:35:00] | MonMotha: | UncleBill: a vob file is just a raw rip from a DVD |
[06:35:00] | MonMotha: | which is what mythvideo does on it's highest quality "perfect" option |
[06:35:00] | Chutt: | heh |
[06:35:00] | MonMotha: | a VOB is MPEG2 video multiplexed with AC3 audio in a special way |
[06:36:00] | Chutt: | no_timer_check was breaking my video playback |
[06:36:00] | Chutt: | but, without no_timer_check, my system clock runs too fast |
[06:36:00] | Chutt: | hmmmm |
[06:36:00] | MonMotha: | you can remultiplex the video and reencode the audio into MPEG2 audio, then multiplex into an MPEG2 container with no quality loss on the video, but the file will be just abotu as big |
[06:36:00] | UncleBill: | what does mythvideo do on the other excellent and good settings? |
[06:36:00] | MonMotha: | if you want to save space, I'd recommend reencoding the video to xvid (whcih is mpeg4) and the audio to vorbis or MP3 and using an AVI container |
[06:37:00] | defaultro: | GreyFoxx, where do you put your .iso files and where do you tell Myth? |
[06:37:00] | UncleBill: | ok |
[06:37:00] | MonMotha: | UncleBill: pretty much what I just described, but without asking you 1000 questions |
[06:38:00] | GreyFoxx: | defaultro: I don't have any .iso files, so I don't put them anywhere :)\ |
[06:38:00] | GreyFoxx: | all I playback in myth video are various .mpg/.avi files |
[06:38:00] | defaultro: | ok |
[06:39:00] | ** GreyFoxx looks at the clock and thinks it' bedtime ** | |

[08:13:00] | Atamido: | 480p? |
[08:13:00] | therealgalen: | No, like 720p/1080i |
[08:14:00] | Atamido: | 720p? 1080i? 1080p? |
[08:14:00] | MonMotha: | therealgalen: XvMC or no? |
[08:14:00] | therealgalen: | I would assume XvMC |
[08:14:00] | MonMotha: | since when was 480p even considered HD? :) |
[08:14:00] | ** Atamido wishes that broadcasters and such didn't pretend that 1080p didn't exist. ** | |
[08:14:00] | MonMotha: | ok, then not too bad. My 2400+ AthlonXP can do 1080i w/ XvMC using about 35% CPU usage |
[08:14:00] | MonMotha: | Atamido: 8VSB doesn't have the bandwidth required for 1080o |
[08:14:00] | MonMotha: | er 1080p |
[08:14:00] | jasoncohen (~jason@pcp0011382713pcs.ebrnsw01.nj.comcast.net) has joined #mythtv-users | |
[08:15:00] | Atamido: | MonMotha: Anything above standard broadcast is HDTV. |
[08:15:00] | MonMotha: | but yes, 1080p would be nice |
[08:15:00] | MonMotha: | Atamido: 480p is essentially standard broadcast, it's just not interlaced. Most people call it "EDTV" (at least the marketroids) |
[08:15:00] | therealgalen: | Here's what I'm trying to do. I'm currently in need of a RAID 5 box – I'm so sick of all my drives dying and taking my data with them – so I have found a handful of motherboards with hardware raid 5 support (and linux drivers) |
[08:15:00] | UncleBill: | MonMotha, I paosted the output on pastebin.com |
[08:16:00] | therealgalen: | I'm debating as to which CPU I need to get, because I would like to be able to do a little HDTV watching before I have to upgrade the CPU. |
[08:16:00] | Atamido: | Right, 480p is one step above broadcast. |
[08:16:00] | ** Atamido states this as progressive being better than interlaced. ** | |
[08:17:00] | therealgalen: | How does de-interlacing work out with XvMC? |
[08:17:00] | MonMotha: | yeah, in the end, it doesn't look all that much better (though it'll be sent digitally, so there won't be any analog noise). On high motion scenes, you won't have interface artifacts, whcih is nice |
[08:17:00] | MonMotha: | oh yeah, I certainly like progressive better than interlace |
[08:17:00] | MonMotha: | supposedly XvMC deinterlaces, but it doesnt' for me |
[08:17:00] | MonMotha: | so I run my interlaced stuff through kerneldeint |

[08:17:00] | Atamido: | Althought the HDTV standard includes several refresh rates including 480p @24fps. |
[08:18:00] | Atamido: | Which is lower fps than broadcast. |
[08:18:00] | therealgalen: | monmotha – what sort of cpu hit does that have? |
[08:18:00] | Atamido: | Although, since film is just 24fps, it should be peachy. |
[08:18:00] | MonMotha: | yeah, they did that so that they could do film without the pulldown |
[08:18:00] | MonMotha: | yup |
[08:18:00] | ** Atamido wanders off to bed now. ** | |
[08:18:00] | MonMotha: | therealgalen: 2400+ AthlonXP |
[08:18:00] | ** Atamido hates silly pulldown.. ** | |
[08:19:00] | therealgalen: | I'm currently looking at a socket 754 mobo + ? cpu. The semperons start ~$55, and I could later on stick an AMD64 3400 or something in there for cheap. |
[08:19:00] | MonMotha: | I can do 720p entirely in software (since I can disable the deint filter and use libmpeg2), which I usually do since XvMC is buggy |
[08:20:00] | therealgalen: | (I am not an expert with x86 hardware.) |
[08:20:00] | MonMotha: | that's because x86 sucks ;) |
[08:20:00] | MonMotha: | I'm not familiar with the latest offerings of AMD and Intel, though |
[08:21:00] | therealgalen: | oh xvmc is buggy? |
[08:21:00] | therealgalen: | define "buggy" |
[08:21:00] | MonMotha: | it seems to have some problems, for me |
[08:22:00] | MonMotha: | your OSD will be grayscale, but that's OK. I have some other OSD problems though. When the OSD is on screen, the video stutters and such. It can also crash things if you change the OSD too fast (like holding down the volume change button) |
[08:22:00] | MonMotha: | XvMC also seems less tolerant of bad data (since I'm doing OTA hi-def, that happens) than libmpeg2 |
[08:22:00] | therealgalen: | What happens when it gets bad data? |
[08:23:00] | MonMotha: | most of the time Myth dies or locks up in such a way that you have to kill it |
[08:23:00] | therealgalen: | Hmmm, and how often do you get bad data? |
[08:24:00] | MonMotha: | therealgalen: often enough that it's an issue |
[08:24:00] | MonMotha: | remember, this is over the air programming |
[08:24:00] | MonMotha: | if someone walks in front of the antenna, it can blip |
[08:24:00] | therealgalen: | lol |
[08:25:00] | therealgalen: | is there any way you can do partial xvmc stuff? |
[08:25:00] | therealgalen: | (to reduce the bugginess) |
[08:26:00] | therealgalen: | So I guess that would put one between a rock a hard spot... |

[08:27:00] | poonj: | hey guys, anyone here setup .htaccess for their mythweb directory? |
[08:27:00] | poonj: | it says that I should have the authuserfile in /var/www/htpasswd, which I created |
[08:27:00] | poonj: | using htpasswd -c htpasswd poonj |
[08:28:00] | MonMotha: | status 1f | signal da5d | snr f9c9 | ber 00000000 | unc 00000000 | FE_HAS_LOCK |
[08:28:00] | poonj: | however, when I reload the directory, it doesn't ask for a password |
[08:28:00] | therealgalen: | and you used htpasswd to create the file? |
[08:28:00] | MonMotha: | that's my signal info, so it's a VERY good signal |
[08:28:00] | MonMotha: | in fact, I'm so close to the broadcast site that at night I can get some nasty multipath |
[08:28:00] | MonMotha: | I almost need an attenuator |
[08:29:00] | poonj: | therealgalen, yeah |
[08:30:00] | therealgalen: | poonj: sounds like an issue with apache, perhaps you should check #apache ? i could help further, but not right now :) |
[08:30:00] | therealgalen: | monmotha: wow, so it's just really picky with bad data. XvMC is so close, yet so far.... |
[08:31:00] | therealgalen: | monmotha: how usable would you say your mythtv system is? |
[08:31:00] | poonj: | okay |
[08:33:00] | MonMotha: | therealgalen: standard def is great (I have two tuners: a new PVR-150 that's working great now, and an old BTTV that works fine too) |
[08:33:00] | MonMotha: | HD isn't bad. I only use XvMC for 1080i though. It would be nice if there was an option to auto switch my playback options for different types of content |
[08:34:00] | MonMotha: | I also need some sort of filtering on my audio. A low-pass on my BTTV's audio would be great...there's a nasty high-pitch squeal on it |
[08:39:00] | MonMotha: | though actually, MP3 compression seems to take that out |

[09:07:00] | poonj: | hey guys, anyone here have a pchdtv3000 setup? |
[09:07:00] | therealgalen: | monmotha – what air protocol is your HDTV? |
[09:07:00] | MonMotha: | therealgalen: ATSC |
[09:07:00] | MonMotha: | poonj: yes |
[09:07:00] | poonj: | Hey MonMotha: do you use dvb in the 2.6.12 kernel? |
[09:07:00] | MonMotha: | yes |
[09:07:00] | MonMotha: | it works great |
[09:08:00] | MonMotha: | I even had it patched into a 2.6.10 kernel when it was first written |
[09:08:00] | poonj: | I'm having some confusion on the setup.. |
[09:08:00] | didj: | ive read you can stream over 802.11g, but whats the deal with b, standard 11mb/s, "might work" or "bahaha" |
[09:08:00] | poonj: | I'm also using a PVR-150 in my system, which works great |
[09:08:00] | poonj: | however, in order to detect channels, I have to use the scan in the mythtv-setup, which generates a list of channels |
[09:09:00] | MonMotha: | yes |
[09:09:00] | poonj: | however, those channels are different from the ones that are downloaded for the program guide in mythfilldatabase |
[09:09:00] | MonMotha: | yes |
[09:09:00] | poonj: | is there a way around that? |
[09:09:00] | MonMotha: | edit the database (use phpmyadmin or something, or just do it by hand with the command line mysql clien) |
[09:09:00] | poonj: | edit the channels you mean? |
[09:09:00] | MonMotha: | move the mplexid and serviceid fields from the detected channels to the ones imported by mythfilldatabase |
[09:09:00] | poonj: | oh okay |
[09:10:00] | poonj: | its not something I can edit in mythtv-setup? |
[09:10:00] | MonMotha: | you have to do it by hand. the mythtv frontends aren't capable of this righ tnow |
[09:10:00] | MonMotha: | not that I know of |
[09:10:00] | poonj: | okay |
[09:10:00] | MonMotha: | then just delete the channels detected with the scan |
[09:10:00] | poonj: | got it |
[09:10:00] | MonMotha: | you can also tell it to use the over the air guide data, but it's usually wrong |
[09:10:00] | poonj: | I have to delete it through the database right? |
[09:10:00] | MonMotha: | that's how I did it |
[09:10:00] | poonj: | okay |
[09:10:00] | MonMotha: | since you'll be modifying it by hand anyway, you might as well |
[09:10:00] | poonj: | yeah, I noticed you can't delete channels in mythev-setup |
[09:11:00] | MonMotha: | try hitting d or m |
[09:11:00] | poonj: | okay |
[09:11:00] | banyan (~banyan@S010600000a000001.cg.shawcable.net) Quit ("Leaving") | |
[09:11:00] | poonj: | do you have a pchdtv/pvr-250 setup as well? |
[09:11:00] | poonj: | or something comparable of course |
[09:11:00] | poonj: | or just HD for now? |
[09:11:00] | MonMotha: | I have a PVR-150, an old BTTV, and my pcHDTV 3000 |
[09:12:00] | MonMotha: | all 3 work |
[09:12:00] | poonj: | okay, I was also wondering |
[09:12:00] | MonMotha: | was a pain in the ass, mostly because my first PVR-150 was defective |
[09:12:00] | therealgalen: | monmotha or anybody else have any experience with surround sound output? |
[09:12:00] | poonj: | is there a way to switch between cards to view during live tv? |
[09:12:00] | poonj: | oh? that sucks.. |
[09:12:00] | MonMotha: | therealgalen: not right now... |
[09:12:00] | MonMotha: | poonj: yeah, hit y |
[09:13:00] | MonMotha: | it would be nice if it would automagically change for uniquely numbered channels |
[09:13:00] | MonMotha: | I have my OTA HD channels numbered 900+ |
[09:13:00] | therealgalen: | (not right now = too busy) |
[09:13:00] | poonj: | okay cool |
[09:14:00] | MonMotha: | therealgalen: not right now = not set up yet |
[09:14:00] | MonMotha: | if you use ALSA, it'll try to do it for you |
[09:14:00] | MonMotha: | however, it'll get mad if you have surround sound programming but ALSA is told you only have stereo output |
[09:15:00] | therealgalen: | monmotha: ooohhh ok. i'm just trying to get an understanding of how it's supposed to work and verify it'll work with the mobo i'm looking at |
[09:15:00] | poonj: | MonMotha, so if you make different channels for both cable and hd |
[09:15:00] | poonj: | it'll automatically switch to different cards? |
[09:15:00] | MonMotha: | no, it won't |
[09:15:00] | MonMotha: | it would be nice if it would |
[09:15:00] | poonj: | so there isn't a way to specify which card to use |
[09:15:00] | MonMotha: | hit y, it'll cycle through them |
[09:15:00] | MonMotha: | kinda a silly system, actually |
[09:15:00] | poonj: | y? |
[09:16:00] | MonMotha: | hti the 'y' key |
[09:16:00] | MonMotha: | while watching live tv |
[09:16:00] | poonj: | what is that supposed to do? |
[09:16:00] | poonj: | oh okay |
[09:16:00] | MonMotha: | switches tv tuners |
[09:16:00] | poonj: | what about during recording? |
[09:16:00] | poonj: | I guess the channel number |
[09:16:00] | MonMotha: | it'll pick the highest priority one that can tune that channel |
[09:16:00] | poonj: | I see |
[09:16:00] | MonMotha: | I have my HD tuner set to 5, my PVR-150 to 3, and my BTTV to 0 |
[09:17:00] | MonMotha: | anything available over the air goes to my HD tuner, unless that is already in use, then the PVR-150 gets used for anything off cable, then the BTTV if the PVR-150 is in use and the program is either cable only or the HD is already in use |
[09:17:00] | poonj: | but if the HD channels are in a different set compared to the cable ones |
[09:17:00] | poonj: | then it should know when you set to record? |
[09:18:00] | MonMotha: | no, setting up a recording, it sets up that SHOW to be recorded. The tuner to use is chosen when the recording starts based on what is available |
[09:18:00] | poonj: | okay |
[09:18:00] | poonj: | man |
[09:18:00] | poonj: | I need to get more pvr cards |
[09:19:00] | poonj: | but cable quality doesn't seem to cut it.. |
[09:19:00] | poonj: | HD looks so amazing |
[09:19:00] | poonj: | also, which bitrate did you choose to store your HD feeds at? |
[09:19:00] | MonMotha: | um, I store them raw |
[09:19:00] | MonMotha: | whatever it comes in at (usually around 10–15Mbit) |
[09:19:00] | kormoc is now known as kormoc|afk | |
[09:19:00] | poonj: | how do you do that? |
[09:19:00] | MonMotha: | reencoding HD in real time is well nigh impossible |
[09:19:00] | MonMotha: | that's the default |
[09:19:00] | poonj: | doesn't it ask which format to use? |
[09:20:00] | therealgalen: | poonj: that's why i'm getting setup with mythtv: hdt |
[09:20:00] | MonMotha: | oh, it ignores that |
[09:20:00] | therealgalen: | v |
[09:20:00] | poonj: | oh? |
[09:20:00] | MonMotha: | the capture codec and bitrate settings for DVB is ignored |
[09:20:00] | poonj: | I see.. |
[09:20:00] | MonMotha: | it just writes it to the hard drive however it comes in |
[09:20:00] | MonMotha: | youc an transcode it later, if you like |
[09:20:00] | poonj: | yeah |
[09:20:00] | poonj: | what would you suggest for transcoding |
[09:20:00] | poonj: | in terms of bit rate and such |
[09:20:00] | poonj: | for a HDTV feed |
[09:20:00] | MonMotha: | will you be downresing? |
[09:21:00] | poonj: | well, I guess |
[09:21:00] | poonj: | for a movie I'd like to fit it on a DVD |
[09:21:00] | poonj: | if the movie is 2hrs long, I'd want it to be a perfect 4.7gb |
[09:21:00] | MonMotha: | use nuvexport for that |
[09:21:00] | poonj: | okay.. |
[09:21:00] | poonj: | what about removing commercials |
[09:21:00] | MonMotha: | you'll have to downres it to 720x480i |
[09:22:00] | poonj: | would flagging them in myth |
[09:22:00] | MonMotha: | run commflag and export that to a cutlist, check everything, then tell nuvexport to use the myth cutlist |
[09:22:00] | poonj: | okay |
[09:22:00] | MonMotha: | same as with SD |
[09:22:00] | poonj: | is commflagging accurate? |
[09:22:00] | poonj: | I've been doing some stuff manually |
[09:23:00] | poonj: | therealgalen, HD is awesome |
[09:23:00] | poonj: | therealgalen, its the best thing for mythtv in my opinion |
[09:23:00] | poonj: | quality is just eye-catching, especially movies that you can record...dvd quality |
[09:24:00] | MonMotha: | poonj: in theory, better than DVD quality |
[09:24:00] | MonMotha: | DVDs are broadcast quality, just without the noise |
[09:24:00] | poonj: | yeah |
[09:24:00] | MonMotha: | I've had troublw with the commflagginc recetly |
[09:24:00] | MonMotha: | I need to go play with the options |
[09:24:00] | poonj: | those are found in the frontend right? |
[09:25:00] | MonMotha: | it used to work until they made the "uber mega everything commercial detection" stuff that doesn't seem to work well for me |
[09:25:00] | poonj: | I also wanted to ask you as well...how much HD space do you have? |
[09:25:00] | MonMotha: | yeah...under playback I think, oddly enough |
[09:25:00] | MonMotha: | HD space? not enough... :) |
[09:25:00] | MonMotha: | 130GB righ tnow |
[09:25:00] | poonj: | 1hr of HD is 9gb right? |
[09:25:00] | poonj: | or 4.7gb? |
[09:25:00] | poonj: | something to that nature.. |
[09:25:00] | MonMotha: | hum, it's under general now |
[09:26:00] | poonj: | commflag? |
[09:26:00] | MonMotha: | around here, most broadcasters seem to be doing about 5GB/hr for H |
[09:26:00] | MonMotha: | HD |
[09:26:00] | MonMotha: | yeah |
[09:26:00] | poonj: | yeah... |
[09:26:00] | poonj: | so I mean...that'll eat up a ton of space.. |
[09:26:00] | MonMotha: | yeah, it does |
[09:26:00] | poonj: | I ask becasue I was thinkig of setting up a huge RAID |
[09:26:00] | MonMotha: | I need to get a big SATA card and some HDDs |
[09:26:00] | MonMotha: | but that costs money |
[09:26:00] | poonj: | I was able to get a 3ware card |
[09:27:00] | poonj: | so the costs will be with the HDs |
[09:27:00] | MonMotha: | I need to go write this driver so I can make some money |
[09:27:00] | poonj: | but I don't know if it'll be worth powering 6 HDs for 24hrs/7 days a week |
[09:27:00] | poonj: | a driver? |
[09:27:00] | MonMotha: | totally unrelated |
[09:27:00] | poonj: | oaky |
[09:27:00] | MonMotha: | need to port some old custom code from 2.4 to 2.6 |
[09:27:00] | MonMotha: | the APIs changed quite a bit |
[09:27:00] | poonj: | for what? |
[09:28:00] | MonMotha: | USB, mostly |
[09:28:00] | poonj: | cool |
[09:28:00] | MonMotha: | I need to make it use hotplug for firmware loading too |
[09:28:00] | poonj: | what kind of dev? |
[09:28:00] | MonMotha: | little server daughterboard |
[09:28:00] | poonj: | wow, sounds fun |
[09:28:00] | MonMotha: | has an LCD screen, some pushbuttons (server runs headless), watchdog, and an I2C interface for stuff |
[09:29:00] | therealgalen: | monmotha: i'm setting up a raid5, so my machine will be a file server and mythtv box |
[09:29:00] | therealgalen: | mythtv will come a bit later |
[09:29:00] | MonMotha: | my backend is pretty much dedicated to MythTV |
[09:29:00] | MonMotha: | it's one hell of a box |
[09:29:00] | MonMotha: | I have no free PCI slots |
[09:30:00] | therealgalen: | I'm gonna start out with the cheapest CPU possible (semperon 2500 or so), then go to say an AMD64 3400 later on |
[09:30:00] | MonMotha: | heh, this is a dual 1.4GHz AthlonMP |
[09:30:00] | therealgalen: | I have my target set on this mobo: http://www.hothardware.com/printarticle.cfm?articleid=585 |
[09:31:00] | therealgalen: | have you tried watching hdtv on the athlon? |
[09:31:00] | therealgalen: | (with xvmc of course) |
[09:31:00] | MonMotha: | that's a dedicated backend |
[09:31:00] | MonMotha: | and MPEG decoding doesn't benefit much from dual procs |
[09:32:00] | MonMotha: | my desktop (which is a 2400+ AthonXP) handles it fine |
[09:32:00] | MonMotha: | 720p I can even do with no XvMC |
[09:32:00] | therealgalen: | yeah, i know duals don't help mpeg2 decoding, i was just curious if with xvmc it could be done |
[09:32:00] | therealgalen: | (on that low a cpu) |
[09:33:00] | MonMotha: | oh, it's got like a Rage Pro in it :) |
[09:33:00] | MonMotha: | it runs a text console :) |
[09:33:00] | MonMotha: | I dont' even have X set up on it |
[09:33:00] | therealgalen: | lol |
[09:33:00] | MonMotha: | it's a dedicated backend |
[09:33:00] | therealgalen: | you weren't kidding |
[09:34:00] | MonMotha: | no, I wasn't |
[09:34:00] | MonMotha: | it's actually rather overpowered |
[09:34:00] | MonMotha: | I guess I could put a decent video card in it (the AGP slot is free) and use it when I'm in the room |
[09:35:00] | MonMotha: | the Rage Pro is onboard |
[09:35:00] | therealgalen: | i'm attempting to consolidate everything, cut power/space/complexity |
[09:35:00] | MonMotha: | well, during the school year, this thing serves as a backend to about 5 people including myself |
[09:35:00] | MonMotha: | we go in on a cable box :) |
[09:36:00] | MonMotha: | (which I'm sure the cable company loves) |
[09:36:00] | therealgalen: | why should they really care? it's not like you're using up a finite resource, and 1 box versus 0 boxes = cheaper |
[09:37:00] | therealgalen: | :) |
[09:37:00] | therealgalen: | i mean = more money for them |
[09:39:00] | MonMotha: | well, remember, they consider sharing cable to be theft of service |
[09:39:00] | MonMotha: | which it kinda is |
[09:39:00] | MonMotha: | however, we all live on the same campus anyway, so I say it's like we're roommates :) |

[09:46:00] | MonMotha: | poonj: yes |
[09:46:00] | poonj: | MonMotha: or do some users use windows and such? |
[09:46:00] | poonj: | okay.. |
[09:46:00] | MonMotha: | we had someone who tried to get it working in windows...and failed miserably |
[09:47:00] | poonj: | yeah..there is a frontend apparently |
[09:47:00] | MonMotha: | yes, apparently |
[09:47:00] | didj: | ive had 0 success with winmyth :\ |
[09:47:00] | poonj: | heh |
[09:47:00] | poonj: | well, I guess people are gonna have to export it in some viewable format |
[09:47:00] | poonj: | and then just playback in WMP |
[09:48:00] | didj: | if you install the DSmyth filters |
[09:48:00] | didj: | you can play .nuvs |
[09:48:00] | poonj: | .nuvs could be huge though right? |
[09:48:00] | didj: | the aspect ratio is screwed (thinks everything is 4:3), but just override in your player |
[09:48:00] | poonj: | well, I guess if you're on a home network |
[09:48:00] | didj: | just transcode to mpeg-4 in myth |
[09:48:00] | poonj: | transcoding takes a while.. |
[09:48:00] | poonj: | heh |
[09:48:00] | poonj: | btw |
[09:48:00] | poonj: | which is a better cpu for multimedia like this? |
[09:49:00] | poonj: | the amd or intel chips? |
[09:49:00] | poonj: | for transcoding...don't you want higher clock speeds? |

[10:00:00] | MonMotha: | actually, this is something that Pentium 4s are unusually good at |
[10:01:00] | MonMotha: | I normally don't like P4s, but they're good at manipulating MPEG stuff |

[10:12:00] | ik1: | anyone ever have an issue w/ the pvr-350 and not being able to tune anything? |
[10:12:00] | ik1: | most posts in the mailing lists indicate that they have trouble with fine-tuning certain channels. |
[10:13:00] | ik1: | I just can't get anything at all |
[10:13:00] | MonMotha: | is it detecting your tuner? |
[10:13:00] | ik1: | let me doublecheck. |
[10:13:00] | ik1: | whenever i use ptune.pl and change the channel the tv output blinks for a second, then snow again. |
[10:14:00] | ik1: | there it is: |
[10:14:00] | ik1: | tuner: chip found at addr 0xc2 i2c-bus ivtv i2c driver #0 |
[10:14:00] | ik1: | lsmod shows that the module is installed as well. |
[10:14:00] | MonMotha: | did you just get this card? |
[10:15:00] | ik1: | yep |
[10:15:00] | ik1: | is it a common problem? |
[10:16:00] | ik1: | it was working a couple of days ago. |
[10:16:00] | ik1: | then it stopped while I was trying to figure out why I can't see TV output when I start X. |
[10:16:00] | ik1: | (I've followed most of the howtos to the 't') |

[10:16:00] | MonMotha: | ah, then I have no clue |
[10:17:00] | ik1: | anyhow – that's secondary now. hehe no point if the device can't even tune to certain channels. |
[10:17:00] | MonMotha: | I just had a PVR-150 that had a defective tuner module. Exchanged it for another and everything just worked |
[10:17:00] | ik1: | did you experience the same thing? |
[10:17:00] | ik1: | can't tune anything? |
[10:17:00] | ik1: | (snow even though the tuner was detected) |
[10:17:00] | ik1: | I'm changing the channels now, still no cookies. |
[10:18:00] | ik1: | I've made sure I've got the type set to NTSC |
[10:18:00] | MonMotha: | basically, yes |
[10:18:00] | MonMotha: | however, if yours was working, that's probably not the cause |
[10:18:00] | ik1: | I wonder if the tuner just crapped out on me. |
[10:19:00] | ik1: | hr,m |
[10:19:00] | ik1: | frustrating, to say the least. |
[10:19:00] | ik1: | lol |

[11:12:00] | ik1: | I think I found the problem |
[11:12:00] | ik1: | something is setting my tuner type on my pvr350 to type=2 instead of 47. |
[11:13:00] | ik1: | I'm looking through my modprobe, but there seems to be no mention of type=2 :S |
[11:13:00] | ik1: | here's the related line:tuner: type set to 2 (Philips NTSC (FI1236,FM1236 and compatibles)) by insmod option |
[11:13:00] | ik1: | thing is that I don't declare that anywhere.... |
[11:13:00] | ik1: | any ideas? |
[11:16:00] | fatmatt: | ik1: just a sec... |
[11:16:00] | fatmatt: | what kernel are you using? |

[11:16:00] | ik1: | 2.6.10–1.771_FC2 |
[11:17:00] | ik1: | strnagest thing is that a couplke of days ago earlier my 350 worked fine. |
[11:17:00] | ik1: | now it's snow no matter what channel I set it to |
[11:17:00] | ik1: | (the card is a model 990, about 4 days old now.) |
[11:18:00] | fatmatt: | its been removed from 2.6.12 and you'll get a "this is deprecated" warning in 2.6.10 but try,, |
[11:18:00] | ik1: | I tried setting the tuner and the type parameters for the ivtv module, but I get the following error: ivtv: Setting Tuner 47 |
[11:18:00] | ik1: | tuner: type already set to 2, ignoring request for 47 |
[11:19:00] | ik1: | I'm going to re-do all of the sections in my modprobe pertaining to the ivtv sections. |
[11:19:00] | fatmatt: | there's an insmod option for tuner, I hashed out the lines.. something like tuner=5 |
[11:19:00] | fatmatt: | looking for it |
[11:20:00] | fatmatt: | options bttv card=8 tuner=5 audiomux=0 automute=1 |
[11:20:00] | fatmatt: | options tuner |
[11:21:00] | ik1: | I have a bttv line there, but it's quoted out. |
[11:21:00] | fatmatt: | "options tuner type=xx" |
[11:21:00] | fatmatt: | is the one I think.. |
[11:21:00] | fatmatt: | worth a shot anyway |
[11:21:00] | ik1: | I'm not using a bttv tuner so I've quoted them out... |
[11:21:00] | ik1: | #options tuner tuner=47 |
[11:21:00] | ik1: | when I have it on, I get the same 'type already set...' error |
[11:21:00] | fatmatt: | ahhh, |
[11:22:00] | ik1: | so strange. |
[11:22:00] | fatmatt: | I haven't used the ivtv stuff |
[11:22:00] | ik1: | I must have munged something somewhere. |
[11:22:00] | ik1: | thanks for the tip though :) |
[11:22:00] | fatmatt: | can you rmmod and insmod the ivtv modules? |
[11:22:00] | fatmatt: | btw, while we're talking about it, what is the advantage of ivtv? |
[11:23:00] | ik1: | ahh – the ivtv drivers pertain to the hauppauge pvr-xxx cards |
[11:23:00] | ik1: | (along with other cards that have the same chipsets, etc) |
[11:23:00] | fatmatt: | ahh okay, don't have one of those, |
[11:23:00] | ik1: | they'll capture directly to MPEG2 |
[11:24:00] | ik1: | I'd say they're quite nice, but I don't really know cause mine isn't working. |
[11:24:00] | ik1: | LoL |
[11:24:00] | ik1: | and to think – I've been messing with mtyh on and of for a few months now and still no cookies. |
[11:24:00] | ik1: | LoL |
[11:24:00] | ik1: | makes me feel like a dope. |
[11:24:00] | fatmatt: | any upgrrade I do will likely be another digital tuner |
[11:24:00] | ik1: | nice |
[11:25:00] | fatmatt: | yah, even the cheapo ones without onboard decoding do a good job for me |
[11:26:00] | fatmatt: | down to my last pci slot in this one though |
[11:27:00] | ik1: | haha hardcore |
[11:27:00] | ik1: | I'm using the pvr=350 for TV out... that and the low CPU overhead. |
[11:27:00] | fatmatt: | bbl |
[11:27:00] | fatmatt: | dinner |
[11:28:00] | ik1: | even though the output is huge, it's still attached to a 722GB array. |
[11:28:00] | ik1: | so – plenty of space for now. |

[14:43:00] | Tommck_: | AlHaz – I'm sure that was a design decision |
[14:43:00] | AlHaz: | Things are a little worse for my signal in a couple ways |
[14:44:00] | AlHaz: | 1: We have a for-pay HD system out here called USDTV. Their signal looks just like any other HD signal except it's encrypted. |
[14:45:00] | AlHaz: | myth doesn't properly detect them as encrypted, since they're probably not using a CA system that looks like regular dVB |
[14:45:00] | AlHaz: | so i have a bunch of meaningless callsigns in the channel list |
[14:45:00] | AlHaz: | channels i can't actually watch |
[14:45:00] | AlHaz: | but myth is more than willing to sit there and try |
[14:45:00] | AlHaz: | and lock up |
[14:45:00] | AlHaz: | or crash |
[14:45:00] | MonMotha: | mythtv is remarkably not hardy when it comes to digital TV |
[14:46:00] | MonMotha: | it pretty much assumes you've got bog standard analog capture going on |
[14:46:00] | MonMotha: | throw digital at it and it's like "OHHH! IT LOOKS GREAT! BTW, I'm crashing now!" |

[14:47:00] | AlHaz: | had shitty VHF antenna on the roof, 300ohm wire going to each apartment |

[14:48:00] | AlHaz: | or something |

[14:49:00] | AlHaz: | the winegard has 75ohm out |
[14:50:00] | AlHaz: | I brought it out to a splitter, stuck a matching . . . i hate calling it a transformer when i know it's a bunch of capacitors . . . . anyway, put the dongle on one side, and ran RG6 over to my dtv dish |
[14:50:00] | MonMotha: | I'm so close to the tower here that I can pick up an acceptable signal for DTV using a couple pieces of random length wire put up as a dipole |

[14:51:00] | MonMotha: | has a preamp that I turn off when I'm at home because otherwise I get horrible multipath, especially at night |
[14:51:00] | MonMotha: | in fact, I may need to acqurie an attenuator |
[14:51:00] | AlHaz: | I need to just buy a damn house so that i can do it right |
[14:52:00] | MonMotha: | I've got a 10 foot (or so) dish I could acquire...if I had a place to put it |
[14:52:00] | MonMotha: | would hav eto get myself a DVB-S card then though |
[14:55:00] | AlHaz: | for some reason my atsc signal is pretty bad this morning |
[14:56:00] | MonMotha: | I'm watching my local FOX station right now. Looks fine |
[14:56:00] | MonMotha: | at least, looks as good as they normally make it look |
[14:56:00] | MonMotha: | none of the local broadcasters do a good job with their HD DTV signals |
[14:57:00] | AlHaz: | mostly just upconverted |
[14:57:00] | AlHaz: | I'd like to know what compells some of them to broadcast everything in 16x9 and put big gray blocks on the sides of the 4x3 content |
[14:58:00] | AlHaz: | I have no idea what they're playing at. Can't picture the scenario where a 16x9 tv needs help centering a 4x3 picture. |
[14:58:00] | MonMotha: | would be nice to know, yes |
[14:58:00] | MonMotha: | I get plenty of use out of my 16:9 zoom to 4:3 function (since I have a 4:3 TV, aka computer monitor) |
[14:58:00] | MonMotha: | of course, the loacl CBS affiliate is really dumb |
[14:58:00] | AlHaz: | where is that function? I haven't found it yet |
[14:59:00] | MonMotha: | they take 4:3 content and stretch it to 16:9, and broadcast it taht way |
[14:59:00] | MonMotha: | which really sucks if you're on a TV without aspect ratio override |
[14:59:00] | MonMotha: | AlHaz: hit w |
[14:59:00] | AlHaz: | k |
[14:59:00] | MonMotha: | that's aspect ratio override |
[14:59:00] | MonMotha: | the zooms are in there somewhere |
[15:00:00] | MonMotha: | there's also a manual zoom if you have a 16:9 TV and are watching something that's widescreen, but not that wide (you can get it to where it's still barn doored, but not also letterboxed) |
[15:02:00] | AlHaz: | I perhaps made a mistake in purchasing the winegard antenna. I have a friend who runs an AV consulting/retail/installation business, he tells me winegard antennae typically have a lot of gain but aren't particularly directional |
[15:02:00] | AlHaz: | maybe I'd be better off with less gain, more directional |
[15:02:00] | MonMotha: | gain and directionality generally go together |
[15:02:00] | AlHaz: | yeah, I know |
[15:03:00] | MonMotha: | but yes, if you have multipath problems, more directionality is better |
[15:03:00] | MonMotha: | you can always compensate for excessive gain with an attenuator |
[15:03:00] | AlHaz: | there are mountains, though, so i could be getting multipath |
[15:04:00] | MonMotha: | yes, possibly |
[15:04:00] | AlHaz: | there |
[15:04:00] | AlHaz: | it's entirely possible that i'm the only person in the building trying to use the antenna |
[15:04:00] | AlHaz: | but since i only speak to one of my neighbors, *shrug* |
[15:04:00] | MonMotha: | wow, linux needs better documentation |
[15:05:00] | MonMotha: | the current USB API is virtually undocumented |
[15:05:00] | AlHaz: | I've been here 5 years, guy next to me – weirdo israeli programmer – has been here 7. the apartments on the back of the place never have anybody in 'em for more than a year. people come and go, and none of them are very interesting. |
[15:06:00] | AlHaz: | I'm not against being neighborly but i have a hard time socializing with people that i have nothing in common with except a wall, so i mostly ignore them. |
[15:07:00] | AlHaz: | need to buy a house, so i can ignore them from a safe distance. |
[15:09:00] | AlHaz: | it's the little things that tip me off as to whether new tennants actually use their brains or are just going through the motions. Like if they choose to park their moving van on the lawn in front of their door, or in the parking lot where it makes it impossible for me to get in or out of my parking space. |
[15:10:00] | AlHaz: | despite the words "NO PARKING" painted every 3 feet across where they parked it |
[15:11:00] | honey is now known as honeyzzz | |
[15:11:00] | AlHaz: | the next clue is the little painted wood decorations hung around their door. |

[16:24:00] | jonK: | deleting both |

[16:25:00] | Tommck_: | I think the Romans would say "caveat dumbass" or something like that ;) |
[16:25:00] | jonK: | i think I must have ran mythbackend and it began a schema upgrade that for some reason did not complete, or did not get marked as completed |

[19:01:00] | iznogood: | Is there anywhere I can get a clue which IR device I should choose, in kernel and or in lirc? |
[19:01:00] | iznogood: | I have an internal irda port in my barebone |

[19:02:00] | Kronuz: | hello |
[19:02:00] | CyberKnet: | er.. that would be in response to laga's alias =) |
[19:03:00] | kormoc: | hihi |
[19:03:00] | CyberKnet: | iznogood: you choose an ir device that has a PS/2 interface |
[19:03:00] | CyberKnet: | kormoc: wow. =) Simply wow. |
[19:03:00] | Kronuz: | hey, what would be needed to make MythMusic not to stop playing the MP3s once you go back to other menues? |
[19:03:00] | laga: | CyberKnet: heh |
[19:03:00] | CyberKnet: | kormoc: I don't think even I could pull off being that late =P" |
[19:03:00] | ** kormoc laughs ** | |
[19:03:00] | CyberKnet: | Kronuz: an architecture overhaul. |
[19:04:00] | kormoc: | Luckly xris is awesome :P |
[19:04:00] | CyberKnet: | kormoc: very lucky. |
[19:04:00] | Kronuz: | like if you want to kepp the music while you configure MythTV or while you see some slideshows |
[19:04:00] | Kronuz: | CyberKnet: would it really be that difficult? |
[19:04:00] | iznogood: | CyberKnet: I'm not sure I understand completely, do I choose the driver which uses PS/2 or do I have to buy an external one? |
[19:04:00] | CyberKnet: | Kronuz: aye. |
[19:05:00] | CyberKnet: | iznogood: I was tongue-in-cheek inferring you should just get a PS/2 or USB infrared keyboard. |
[19:05:00] | CyberKnet: | iznogood: they're a ton easier than setting up lirc. |
[19:05:00] | Kronuz: | CyberKnet: I was thinking about launching a child process playing the MP3 and then exit the plugin while leaving the child running (then when you go back to the plugin it checks for the running child.... which would be more like a MP3 player server/client) |
[19:05:00] | ** kormoc perfers RF ps/2 devices ** | |
[19:06:00] | iznogood: | I want to use a remote control, not an keyboard :) |
[19:06:00] | Kronuz: | then whenever you start liveTV or DVD or vide player, you just stop the MP3 player that's on the background (if any) |
[19:06:00] | kormoc: | Kronuz, till you want to watch a recording and have to go to myth music to stop the music? |
[19:06:00] | kormoc: | how do those plugins know to stop it? |
[19:07:00] | Kronuz: | nope, it would be needed to change a bit the code for the other plugins probably... |
[19:07:00] | CyberKnet: | kormoc: RF PS/2 device is good if you can still find a niveus media remote |
[19:07:00] | kormoc: | sounds a bit... messy imho |
[19:07:00] | Kronuz: | or to add a "before start plugin" callback list |
[19:07:00] | CyberKnet: | iznogood: You hae a learning remote learn the IR codes from the IR keyboard, silly. |
[19:07:00] | Kronuz: | to which any plugin could attach a function |
[19:08:00] | iznogood: | That won't do, because I want to use the mediacentre remote |
[19:08:00] | Kronuz: | (MythMusic would attach a stop playing routing if the plugin to be started is incompatible like a DVD player or LiveTV) |
[19:08:00] | CyberKnet: | Kronuz: I think you should search the dev archives. this has been discussed before. |
[19:08:00] | Kronuz: | hmm |
[19:08:00] | Kronuz: | CyberKnet: and how did it all ended? |
[19:09:00] | CyberKnet: | iznogood: well then you'll have to find an IR blaster and deal with lirc. I can't help you with that because I like to keep my sanity and not run lirc. |
[19:09:00] | CyberKnet: | Kronuz: search and find out. |
[19:09:00] | Kronuz: | lol |
[19:09:00] | Kronuz: | :P |
[19:09:00] | iznogood: | Is it that hard? |
[19:09:00] | CyberKnet: | Kronuz: What? I don't use mythmusic. why would I remember the outcome? I didn't follow the threads very closely. |
[19:10:00] | CyberKnet: | iznogood: I know that I personally prefer to avoid it, as do many other people. But you want the Media Center remote, so that's not an option for you. |
[19:10:00] | Kronuz: | 'cause I think that's a must (to be able to hear music while you're in the gallery slideshow) |
[19:10:00] | CyberKnet: | Kronuz: no, _TV_ is a must for MythTV |
[19:10:00] | CyberKnet: | ;) |
[19:10:00] | Kronuz: | lol |
[19:10:00] | Kronuz: | and perhaps also while configuring/navigating MythTV |
[19:10:00] | CyberKnet: | Music is a "nice to have" in MythTV |
[19:10:00] | Kronuz: | (it would be nice) |
[19:11:00] | CyberKnet: | that's why MythMusic is a plugin, and TV is integrated. |
[19:11:00] | Kronuz: | nicer then |
[19:11:00] | CyberKnet: | Kronuz: well, go find the archived copy of those threads. I'd try a search for MythTV music background |
[19:11:00] | CyberKnet: | ymmv. |
[19:12:00] | Kronuz: | the plugins can rally use some work (to add consistency and improve usability) |
[19:12:00] | CyberKnet: | Kronuz: volunteering? =) |
[19:12:00] | Kronuz: | I guess :) |
[19:13:00] | Kronuz: | but I hope I can find the time :( |

[19:14:00] | Kronuz: | the new one, that is |
[19:14:00] | Kronuz: | is it stalled right now? |
[19:14:00] | CyberKnet: | I'd really go check out those old threads though about backgrounding the music. I'm sure they can provide some insight as to why it would take an architecture change to facilitate it. |
[19:14:00] | CyberKnet: | mythui? It's not stalled as far as I know. |
[19:14:00] | Kronuz: | oh, cool :) |
[19:15:00] | Kronuz: | 'cause the fading effect is really cool |
[19:15:00] | CyberKnet: | Chutt was just bragging on it some a few nights ago =) |
[19:15:00] | CyberKnet: | and I think I saw mythcontrols get checked in fairly recently. |
[19:15:00] | CyberKnet: | although I do confess I don't watch the commits as closely as I should, or as closely as I used to. |
[19:16:00] | Kronuz: | I just need to setup my SSH so I can work from this computer |

[22:50:00] | iznogood: | ah ok |
[22:50:00] | iznogood: | then do #ls -l /dev/cdrom |
[22:51:00] | emilylove: | rwxrwxrwx |
[22:51:00] | iznogood: | it should look at the end like : cdrom -> hdg |
[22:51:00] | emilylove: | root root |
[22:51:00] | emilylove: | yup thats at the end of it |
[22:51:00] | iznogood: | ok |
[22:51:00] | iznogood: | no try, put in a datacd |
[22:52:00] | iznogood: | and try, (maybe as root), #mount /dev/cdrom /mnt |
[22:52:00] | Kronuz: | hey, does mythtv has a bot for cvs commits? |
[22:52:00] | Kronuz: | (in the IRC) |
[22:52:00] | kormoc: | no? |
[22:53:00] | emilylove: | mount: no medium found |
[22:53:00] | kormoc: | that'd be sorta annoying... |
[22:53:00] | rw (~user@rw.user) has left #mythtv-users | |
[22:53:00] | Kronuz: | yeah, probably |
[22:53:00] | kormoc: | just sign up for the mailing list. |
[22:53:00] | iznogood: | and there is an "working" data cd in the drive? |
[22:54:00] | emilylove: | iz — yes |
[22:54:00] | emilylove: | it works in my windows box |
[22:55:00] | iznogood: | hmm |
[22:55:00] | iznogood: | then try this: # dmesg |grep SCSI |
[22:55:00] | TimmyJ: | anyone know of a program for ivtv drivers suited towards watching TV on your desktop (ability to resize, etc.) yet still be able to change channels |
[22:55:00] | iznogood: | and check if you see the cdrom drive claimed as scdX |
[22:55:00] | emilylove: | nothing came up |
[22:56:00] | ** iznogood thinks ** | |
[22:58:00] | emilylove: | <-- tears at her hair in frustration |
[22:58:00] | iznogood: | please do #dmesg |
[22:58:00] | iznogood: | and look at the last lines |
[22:58:00] | iznogood: | do you see error output? |
[22:59:00] | iznogood: | If not, try /var/log/syslog for errors on hdg. |
[22:59:00] | emilylove: | hdg: cdrom_pc_intr: The drive appears confused (ireason = 0x01) |
[23:00:00] | iznogood: | you did install your system with this cdrom-drive? |
[23:00:00] | emilylove: | iz — yes |
[23:00:00] | emilylove: | its a burner if that means anything |
[23:01:00] | emilylove: | in fact it has been working fine and just stopped about an hour ago for no reason that I can tell |
[23:01:00] | iznogood: | And you did try windows again, after it stopped working? |
[23:02:00] | iznogood: | (Sorry for the stupid questions, I work @ an ISP helpdesk, it's a habit!) |
[23:04:00] | emilylove: | ha ha its cool yes and the cd works in windows... |
[23:04:00] | emilylove: | but NO cd works in the linux box... |
[23:04:00] | emilylove: | this all started when myth wouldn't use freedb with my audio cds |
[23:04:00] | iznogood: | you have started mythtv currently? |
[23:06:00] | emilylove: | its not running now but yes, I hav started it |
[23:07:00] | emilylove: | i was just trying to get the cd's to start detecting in kscd |
[23:07:00] | emilylove: | I'm gonna shutdown and replace the ide cable..maybe its bad. |
[23:07:00] | iznogood: | It's possible, but then again it also wouldn't work in windows |
[23:08:00] | iznogood: | But I've never seen a drive mallfunction which wasn't broken in linux |
[23:09:00] | emilylove: | oh no no I guess you misunderstood |
[23:09:00] | emilylove: | I have two machines in here |
[23:09:00] | emilylove: | one with windows, one with linux |
[23:09:00] | emilylove: | I've swapped teh cd between the two |
[23:09:00] | hadees: | emilylove, so mabey your cd drive in your linux machine is either broken |
[23:10:00] | hadees: | or doesn't have the right driver |
[23:10:00] | iznogood: | aaah |
[23:10:00] | emilylove: | its possible, but the cd drive worked in windows just 4 days ago... |
[23:10:00] | hadees: | emilylove, what is distro are you using? you are likely to find more help on this area in their channel |
[23:11:00] | hadees: | just because this is a more general problem with your CD drive |
[23:11:00] | iznogood: | Then I think there can be something wrong with the drive |
[23:11:00] | hadees: | and likely doesn't have anything to do with mythtv |
[23:11:00] | iznogood: | hadees: the drive gets detected by the ide lyaer |
[23:11:00] | iznogood: | layer |
[23:11:00] | iznogood: | no it hasn't |
[23:11:00] | iznogood: | this is a bit off topic here |
[23:11:00] | hadees: | emilylove, and you can't mount it |
[23:12:00] | hadees: | iznogood, well even besides the off topic point, the people in this channel aren't experts with every distro |
[23:12:00] | hadees: | so like #redhat would know more about redhat then most people in here |
[23:12:00] | hadees: | etc |
[23:12:00] | iznogood: | yes true |
[23:12:00] | emilylove: | wow! i replaced the cable..no irq 9 error at startup...thats an improvement |
[23:13:00] | hadees: | guess my work here is done |
[23:13:00] | iznogood: | however, ide problems, are linux in general |

[23:15:00] | iznogood: | hadees: not in the ide part, that has stabilized over so many years now in the main kernel |
[23:15:00] | iznogood: | that could be true |

[23:43:00] | SlicerDicer-: | char *port = "/dev/ttyS0"; |
[23:43:00] | SlicerDicer-: | thats what it says default |
[23:43:00] | SlicerDicer-: | just modify it to /dev/ttyS1 or whatever you n eed |
[23:43:00] | rben: | only got the one serial port, so shouldn't be too hard |
[23:44:00] | SlicerDicer-: | then you will want to copy that folder to /usr/bin/dct-channel or at least thats what I did and then you can direct mythtv to use the external tuner there |
[23:44:00] | SlicerDicer-: | its pretty cut and dry |
[23:44:00] | SlicerDicer-: | much more simple than lirc anyday |
[23:44:00] | SlicerDicer-: | dont you agree? |
[23:44:00] | rben: | true, but still need to get the remote to work that controls the front end |
[23:44:00] | bhursey (~sofa@dyn50-48.clayton.edu) Quit ("Leaving") | |
[23:45:00] | SlicerDicer-: | that is simple enough |
[23:45:00] | rben: | But you just saved me a bunch of time |
[23:45:00] | SlicerDicer-: | rben, yeah its awesome with the rs232 |
[23:45:00] | SlicerDicer-: | if your cablebox is off for some reason it will turn it on |
[23:45:00] | rben: | what is wierd is that I thought I had all the lirc stuff set up for the remote to work, and irw works |
[23:45:00] | SlicerDicer-: | all kinda stuff |
[23:45:00] | rben: | that's really cool |
[23:45:00] | SlicerDicer-: | yep |
[23:46:00] | rben: | hope to move the tvbox out to livingroom tonight |
[23:46:00] | rben: | make my wife happy |
[23:46:00] | SlicerDicer-: | hehe |
[23:46:00] | rben: | then going to set up front end back here in office |
[23:46:00] | rben: | using wireless between the two |
[23:46:00] | SlicerDicer-: | rben, I got a dedicated box for mythtv |
[23:46:00] | beavis (~beavis@p54A7A6CA.dip0.t-ipconnect.de) Quit ("Verlassend") | |
[23:46:00] | SlicerDicer-: | it works great |
[23:46:00] | rben: | we'll have 2 when I'm done |
[23:46:00] | SlicerDicer-: | covered the ir sensor with ducttape |
[23:46:00] | rben: | one for backend and livingroom and one for office frontend |
[23:47:00] | SlicerDicer-: | I run 2 cableboxes in my living room one for watching tv one for recording with mythtv |
[23:47:00] | SlicerDicer-: | so they are independent |
[23:47:00] | rben: | that's neat |
[23:47:00] | rben: | got 2 tuners on my box |
[23:47:00] | SlicerDicer-: | if I want to watch say dog eat dog while shit on a stick records I can do that |
[23:47:00] | rben: | so one will be hooked up to straight cable and one ot digital box |
[23:48:00] | rben: | finally got PVR-350 tvout working |
[23:48:00] | rben: | thanks to the knoppmythwiki |
[23:49:00] | emilylove: | irq 9: nobody cared! |
[23:49:00] | emilylove: | handlers: |
[23:49:00] | emilylove: | blahblah |
[23:49:00] | emilylove: | disabpling irq 9 |
[23:49:00] | emilylove: | wha in th eworld does that mean? |
[23:50:00] | iznogood: | emilylove: I presume it isn't beeping anymore? |
[23:50:00] | emilylove: | no that correct |
[23:50:00] | emilylove: | no idea why it was |
[23:50:00] | rben: | Ok, so here's what is wierd. I have lirc set up so that it's started in the rc5.d init directory, but once it boots, I sometimes have to restart it and then restart the frontend before the remote works |
[23:50:00] | emilylove: | i wonder if it overheated or something. I left it off for a few minutes and it came right back |
[23:50:00] | iznogood: | I'm not sure irq 9 has something to do with your ide controller, or does it? |
[23:51:00] | emilylove: | int he handlers it said ide something or other |

[23:51:00] | kormoc: | emilylove, did you check the voltages in the bios? |
[23:51:00] | emilylove: | it was on bootup and it was a bunch of seeminly meaningless numbers |
[23:51:00] | SlicerDicer-: | rben, let me know if you have problems once you get your rs232 |
[23:51:00] | emilylove: | kormoc the voltages? its autodetect... |
[23:51:00] | SlicerDicer-: | rben, just grab one from radioshack too btw |
[23:51:00] | rben: | SlicerDicer-: I will |
[23:51:00] | emilylove: | and i have to admit it worked fine for a long time with windows on it |
[23:51:00] | kormoc: | emilylove, no, the output voltages of the power supply, i.e. making sure it's still good. |
[23:51:00] | emilylove: | oh thats a good idea...i can do tat |
[23:51:00] | kormoc: | :) |
[23:52:00] | rben: | might have a cable in a box around here somewhere |

[23:55:00] | emilylove: | aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh |
[23:55:00] | emilylove: | stupid BEEPING again |
