[00:20:00] ascii`: i have to restart my computer to regain controll off it:p
[00:20:00] fatmatt: is it freezin when you go to set up channels?
[00:21:00] ascii`: i don't come to that point..
[00:21:00] ascii`: it freezes with the first question..i can move the menu up and down for like 2 seconds..then it freezes...
[00:22:00] fatmatt: where does it feeze? if your using the xmltv tv guude data (non-US) then it switches to the terminal you started it from to put in chan inf, maybe try alt-tab to get to the terminal
[00:23:00] fatmatt: whats the first question? the one about deleting/not deleting the chanel config?
[00:24:00] ascii`: i run 'mythtv-setup', and get the question "Would you like to clear all program data...", and before i can manage to answer anything, it freezes..can't move the cursor, can't use ALT + TAB..

[00:27:00] ascii`: fatmatt, do u know what might be the problem?
[00:28:00] fatmatt: ascii`: not really sure, maybe something to do with the database as it'll be looking at that first, maybe check permissions, see if you can connect from terminal as mythtv user, failing that, are there any error messages in the terminal? maybe start mythtv-setup and point it at a log file
[00:29:00] fatmatt: something like "mythtv-setup > /home/mythtv/log" so if you reboot you can check for error messages

[01:14:00] Agrajag-: use winamp then
[01:14:00] ascii`: syle2, i can't get mythtv to work at all, so stfu:p

[01:20:00] syle2: how hard is it to type "init 3"
[01:20:00] nuonguy_AFK: ascii: That sounds like X/graphics-card/driver issues – what are you running?
[01:20:00] ascii`: syle2, very hard it seems..
[01:21:00] ascii`: nuonguy_AFK, nvidia i think..2 sec..
[01:21:00] Agrajag-: syle2: since when does init 3 kill X?
[01:21:00] ascii`: nvidia
[01:22:00] syle2: since the dark ages
[01:22:00] nuonguy_AFK: Anything interesting in /var/log/messages or dmesg or /var/log/X.0.log?
[01:22:00] mocker: agra: since init 3 is full system w/o X
[01:22:00] syle2: if X is broken i just alt-ctrl-F1 to terminal anyways
[01:23:00] Agrajag-: who says?
[01:23:00] Agrajag-: on debian it certainly isn't
[01:23:00] syle2: who cares about debian
[01:23:00] syle2: slackware redhat
[01:23:00] syle2: then freebsd
[01:23:00] Agrajag-: you're a tool syle2
[01:23:00] mocker: Agra: Look up std init levels
[01:23:00] ascii`: syle2, doesn't work..hehe..

[01:24:00] nuonguy_AFK: Agrajag: What happens if you go to a terminal (e.g. CONTROL-ALT-F!) and then as root type 'init 3' – your X server keeps running?
[01:24:00] mocker: erp, dinner...
[01:24:00] Agrajag-: mocker: ok, i've tried, i can't find *anywhere* in any standards docs that says init 3 isn't meant to run X
[01:24:00] syle2: theres only one real way to kill X
[01:25:00] syle2: edit /etc/inittab take out the line
[01:25:00] syle2: init q
[01:25:00] nuonguy_AFK: Agrajag: What does the last line of your inittab look like?
[01:25:00] mocker: agra: im on my blackberry or id find a link...
[01:25:00] mocker: :)
[01:25:00] syle2: agra your a tool for running debian over freebsd
[01:26:00] ascii`: nuonguy_AFK, what drivers do u use?

[01:26:00] nuonguy_AFK: Whatever came standard with xorg
[01:26:00] Agrajag-: syle2: yeah well funny how my machine actually works, and i spent about 1 hour getting myth setup, and you spent a *week*
[01:26:00] syle2: unlike you i didn;t run knoppmyth
[01:26:00] Agrajag-: mocker: trust me, there is no standard anywhere that says anything about what runlevels should run X
[01:27:00] Agrajag-: im not using knoppmyth you fool
[01:27:00] syle2: what distro is knopp
[01:27:00] syle2: debian right
[01:27:00] Agrajag-: no, it's not debian
[01:27:00] nuonguy_AFK: Agrajag: What does your /etc/inittab say about running X? It runs it something other than 5?
[01:27:00] Agrajag-: it's a debian derivative – that does _not_ make it debian
[01:28:00] syle2: agra i;m not having this discussion with you, if you can actually code a c program then you;d possibly be worth my time
[01:28:00] Agrajag-: nuonguy_AFK: it runs in whatever runlevels i tell it to, based on /etc/rc.N/ symlinks
[01:28:00] Krazylegz: I have KnoppMyth. Do I have to look something up for someone?
[01:28:00] Agrajag-: syle2: i code in C for a living
[01:28:00] syle2: do you
[01:28:00] syle2: then explain to me why pthreads are better than using fork
[01:29:00] Agrajag-: wtf? they're totally different?
[01:29:00] Agrajag-: you can't say one is better than another
[01:29:00] Krazylegz: Those are different....
[01:29:00] Agrajag-: it depends on the situation
[01:29:00] syle2: newb c programmer
[01:29:00] syle2: whatever
[01:29:00] Agrajag-: that's like saying "why is a bus better than an aeroplane"
[01:30:00] Agrajag-: and i think you'll find, in *most* cases, you're better off using select() than threads
[01:30:00] syle2: select has njothing to do with threads omg
[01:30:00] Chutt: syle2, you really don't know what you're talking about, do you?
[01:30:00] syle2: select is a ,,ahh forget it
[01:30:00] Krazylegz: FITE.
[01:30:00] Agrajag-: err yes it does, you've just proven you're stupidity
[01:30:00] Agrajag-: your rather
[01:31:00] Chutt: syle2, if you want to stay in here, you need to clean up your act
[01:31:00] syle2: i don;t respond well to threats so do what you have to
[01:31:00] Chutt: i've _almost_ had enough crap
[01:31:00] syle2: i'm jnust stating facts is all
[01:31:00] ** DarkBeer has had enough **
[01:31:00] Chutt: no, you're not
[01:31:00] ascii`: nuonguy_AFK, switched to the xorg nv drivers, and now mythtv-setup is running:p
[01:31:00] nuonguy_AFK: yay
[01:32:00] Agrajag-: syle2: read this and learn http://threading.2038bug.com/index.html
[01:32:00] syle2: at least he knows what google is
[01:32:00] syle2: keep learning agra
[01:32:00] soi-disant: that's good advice to anyone, anywhere, ever
[01:33:00] Chutt: threads are good for some things, separate processes for others, and keeping everything in one process and using select is good for yet more stuff
[01:33:00] Chutt: none of them are 'better'

[01:46:00] nuonguy_AFK: I still haven't been able to get my myth setup to work completely, so I think I might try uninstalling all the myth stuff and then building right from SVN
[01:47:00] nuonguy_AFK: Cheap advice: Don't try to use the AverTV GO 007 FM card
[01:47:00] Krazylegz: You think the SVN will be more stable than the release?
[01:47:00] nuonguy_AFK: I don't know, but at least I might be able to hack it enough to get it to work
[01:47:00] nuonguy_AFK: The problem I have is that changing channels mucks with my audio

[01:48:00] nuonguy_AFK: FC4
[01:48:00] Chutt: ah, not that issue, then
[01:49:00] Krazylegz: Ah. Well, SVN could help, and if it doesn't, it shouldn't be too hard to go back to .18?
[01:49:00] nuonguy_AFK: Right
[01:50:00] nuonguy_AFK: I've done the setup often enough, that should only take a coupla minutes :-(

[01:50:00] Krazylegz: Er, that time I wasn't talking to myself. Crap.
[01:54:00] nuonguy_AFK: I followed this guy's FC4 instructions: but he has instructions for stuff that seem unnecessary
[01:54:00] nuonguy_AFK: Like his modprobe.conf stuff is completely handled during the installer
[01:54:00] nuonguy_AFK: And I don't understand the .asoundrc stuff at all

[02:36:00] pfn: does mythtv have functionality like that of slingbox?
[02:37:00] mr-david: have an hdtv antenna question. I get good reception on some channels with the antenna in one position and good reception for the others with the antenna moved to a second position. is it possible to run two antennas in parallel? Will it solve my problem?
[02:38:00] nuonguy_AFK: what's slingbox?
[02:38:00] GreyFoxx: pfn: How about you be a little more specific on what functions you are referring to :)
[02:38:00] pfn: slingbox is a tv-to-net stb
[02:39:00] pfn: basically allows you to watch any tv source you have connected to it via a piece of software (currently windows-only)
[02:39:00] GreyFoxx: sounds pretty much like mythtv
[02:39:00] pfn: allows you to watch and control (timeshift, live, etc)
[02:39:00] GreyFoxx: yup
[02:39:00] mr-david: any hd heads here?
[02:39:00] pfn: so I can watch live tv from a mythtv box from any client?
[02:39:00] nuonguy_AFK: I think the answer (with some caveats regarding setup and config) is yes, but I think your problem is going to be bandwidth
[02:39:00] GreyFoxx: I'm watching livetv off my machyine in the basement right now
[02:40:00] GreyFoxx: pfn: that depends on what you mean by any client. if you mean a ny client software no
[02:40:00] pfn: then what clients does it support?
[02:40:00] GreyFoxx: itself
[02:41:00] GreyFoxx: mythbackend handles the capture portion
[02:41:00] GreyFoxx: mythfrontend talks to the backend and plays back the stream
[02:41:00] GreyFoxx: now if you have a hardware encoding capture card like a pvr 150/250 then the captures are in mpeg2 and can be played by anything that can read the files over the network
[02:42:00] GreyFoxx: there is also a winmyth client but that's not part of the official source tree
[02:43:00] pfn: so does mythbackend require X?
[02:43:00] GreyFoxx: You can use mythstreamtv to stream to a remote computer over the net if you want to say watch something while at work streamed from home
[02:43:00] Agrajag-: it requires qt and x libs
[02:44:00] GreyFoxx: It's linked against QT, not sure if it really "needs" X or not. But by default it is linked to it

[03:07:00] Agrajag-: vividan: well, you're kinda asking for those kind of problems using unstable. and last i checked, stable is about 2 months old ("really old?")
[03:07:00] Chutt: and what?
[03:07:00] GreyFoxx: hahahahahahaha
[03:07:00] GreyFoxx: ahh I love it!

[03:39:00] GreyFoxx: blh: as high as you like. Just keep turning it up until you don't notice any improvements

[03:43:00] GreyFoxx: and the bitrate
[03:44:00] GreyFoxx: and of course you have to remember you are doing an analog recording, so it's not going to be "identical"
[03:45:00] blh: so it will be more like a vcr recording?
[03:46:00] GreyFoxx: much better than a vcr, but like I said it's not a digital recording so there is the potential for loss.
[03:46:00] GreyFoxx: in my experience recording through my 250's look better than directly into the tv (tv has a crappy tuner)

[04:10:00] CyberKnet: Agrajag-: Mobile Athlon64
[04:11:00] jemarcks: agrajag, it depends on what its doing and what power management is in effect... also how bright the screen is set to.
[04:11:00] cisox: I have a Hauppauge PVR-500MCE and am running the latest version of MythTV on Gentoo Linux. I am not sure exactly how the card should be setup in MythTV, but I have built the ivtv modules for the card and all seems to work there. I have two questions, firstly is that whenever I try to access the tuner, meaning "Watch TV" or cat /dev/video0, my machine just reboots.
[04:11:00] jemarcks: _Nero_, is it a IR or a wired version?
[04:11:00] CyberKnet: GreyFoxx: the email should arrive shortly from knet at cyberknet dot net
[04:11:00] cisox: Any ideas as to why this might happen?
[04:11:00] GreyFoxx: cool
[04:11:00] _Nero_: jemarcks- IR..
[04:11:00] Agrajag-: jemarcks: yeah.. i just need an average around about figure
[04:11:00] _Nero_: hold on.. lemme see if I can find what kind it is.
[04:12:00] CyberKnet: GreyFoxx: Yep. anyways, I'm off.. just wanted to pass that email on to you since you did the modification of ati_remote to work with their remote.
[04:12:00] GreyFoxx: Thanks :)
[04:13:00] jemarcks: agrajag-, well my IBM thinkpad T42p has a power adapter that outputs 16v@4.5A so its less than that depending on what your doing. :D
[04:13:00] Agrajag-: ok, ta
[04:13:00] CyberKnet: GreyFoxx: if nothing else it's a good email address to try to get specs from if they release a similar but incompatible product.

[04:18:00] _Nero_: jemarcks- it has its own ps2 reciever- no need to use lirc with it.. it uses native PS2 keyboard drivers..
[04:18:00] jemarcks: oh duh! ok

[04:20:00] jemarcks: _nero_, ah... i need a lirc receiver and its hard to find time to build my own... im shopping for a good one.
[04:21:00] _Nero_: but, if you have a signal learning remote, you can just point the remote at the keyboard, and learn the keystrokes..

[04:23:00] NightMonkey: cisox: Not from Portage?
[04:24:00] _Nero_: is anyone running mythtv on Fedora Core4 yet?
[04:24:00] cisox: NightMonkey: I was planning on getting it from portage, but then had some issues so I tried this version.
[04:24:00] NightMonkey: cisox: Mine is from Portage. Works great. Give it a shot. What kernel are you running?
[04:24:00] cisox: NightMonkey: Do you suggest I go with the portage version?
[04:25:00] cisox: NightMonkey: 2.6.12-gentoo-r10
[04:25:00] NightMonkey: cisox: I'm using ivtv with my PVR-350, but you may be better off with Portage – just give it a shot.

[04:26:00] cisox: NightMonkey: I am pretty sure I don't have any options set
[04:26:00] NightMonkey: cisox: Cool. Make sure to remove all traces of your custom installed ivtv.
[04:26:00] cisox: Inded
[04:27:00] EruditeHermit: hi, when I run mythtv-setup, and try to configure my card, I get Audio Device: None. If I change it and go back, it goes back to none
[04:27:00] NightMonkey: cisox: In fact, to facilitate that, you might want to rebuild a fresh kernel + modules tree.
[04:27:00] EruditeHermit: can anyone help?
[04:27:00] NightMonkey: cisox: But, that's just a suggestion.
[04:27:00] cisox: NightMonkey: I will see how this goes first
[04:27:00] EruditeHermit: Actually, I am unable to get sound with my mythtv setup so if anyone can help with that, i'd appreciate it
[04:27:00] alexjh: EruditeHermit: are you able to get any sound out? ie play a wav file?
[04:27:00] EruditeHermit: alexjh: yes
[04:28:00] NightMonkey: cisox: Make sure to move the msp3400.so from the _kernel tree_ out of the way once you install ivtv.
[04:28:00] EruditeHermit: alexjh: not with myth, but with other apps such as tvtime, xine etc
[04:28:00] alexjh: ls -l /dev/dsp
[04:28:00] alexjh: what does that give you?
[04:28:00] cisox: NightMonkey: I don't think I have it compiled in or moduled in, what option is it in the kernel?
[04:28:00] EruditeHermit: alexjh: no such file or directory, but I am using ALSA
[04:29:00] NightMonkey: cisox: One sec, let me look that up (been a while since i messed with my kernel .config there).
[04:29:00] cisox: NightMonkey: Also, how do you suggest I setup MythTV with the PVR-500 and what is VBI?
[04:29:00] blh: is it normal for there to be a long delay when changing channels?
[04:29:00] alexjh: yes
[04:29:00] alexjh: it needs to rebuffer
[04:32:00] NightMonkey: cisox: (Still looking up what triggers msp3400.so building). VBI is teletext, or Closed Captioning. It is a stream for text to display along with video.
[04:32:00] EruditeHermit: alexjh: any ideas?
[04:32:00] NightMonkey: cisox: Still being fixed in ivtv. Don't enable it for now.
[04:32:00] cisox: NightMonkey: Thanks alot btw
[04:33:00] cisox: NightMonkey: So I should select MPEG2 Encoder when I setup my tuners in MythTV?
[04:35:00] NightMonkey: cisox: Yes.
[04:35:00] NightMonkey: cisox: So, I *think* this is it: "Conexant 2388x (bt878 successor) support" under "Video for Linux" config in menuconfig.

[04:36:00] simcop2387: well i can now attempt to help with pvr150's! mines working fine :)
[04:37:00] NightMonkey: Now, I *think* that you need to configure this so that the proper kernel API hooks are in place for ivtv to work with. Then, once you install ivtv, you replace in-kernel modules with ivtv. I think the ebuilds have instructions for that, too.
[04:37:00] NightMonkey: cisox: ^^^
[04:37:00] alexjh: EruditeHermit: no, sorry
[04:37:00] alexjh: I'm actually using alsa as well, and I set my audio device to 'default' but it saves the option
[04:38:00] EruditeHermit: alexjh: what sound card do you have?
[04:38:00] alexjh: ati ixp
[04:38:00] NightMonkey: cisox: You might also get some help by reading this: http://www.bitbenderforums.com/~ralpha6/knopp . . . ppmythtv.htm

[04:38:00] alexjh: onboard my pundit-r
[04:38:00] NightMonkey: cisox: Even though it is for KnoppMyth, the MythTV stuffs look right.
[04:38:00] EruditeHermit: alexjh: are there any docs for getting an audigy2 working with myth?
[04:39:00] alexjh: haven't seen any but that doesn't mean they don't exist :)
[04:39:00] EruditeHermit: setting up sound in myth is a pain
[04:40:00] cisox: NightMonkey: Awesome, thanks for the help. I am going to try it out and I will let you know the outcome
[04:40:00] NightMonkey: cisox: I don't have a PVR-500, so someone with direct experience might help you more than I can. But, with Gentoo, you should first try what the devs have laid down for you first, then, reluctantly, go around Portage. Or, better yet, make a new ebuild codifying your discoveries ;).
[04:41:00] NightMonkey: cisox: Did you have Video for Linux set up in your kernel?
[04:42:00] GreyFoxx: EruditeHermit: What problems are you having ?
[04:42:00] cisox: NightMonkey: Yes, the IVTV stuff seems to work fine, it just reboots my machine when I go to actually capture anything from the tuners

[04:43:00] GreyFoxx: EruditeHermit: What are your sound device/mixer set to ?
[04:43:00] cisox: NightMonkey: Also, one more question not pertaining to my PVR issue, when I go to setup for the music and such for MythTV, it just acts like there is nothing to configure and doesn't take me anywhere, any idea why this would happen?
[04:43:00] NightMonkey: cisox: When you are ready to tear your hair out, you might try #ivtv-dev. Quiet channel, but sometimes helpful.
[04:44:00] EruditeHermit: GreyFoxx: in mythtv-setup, I try to set it to default, but it doesn't remember the setting and when I go back it says None
[04:44:00] NightMonkey: cisox: Hmm... Are you using mythmusic ebuild?
[04:44:00] GreyFoxx: EruditeHermit: In mythfrontend settings, under General
[04:44:00] GreyFoxx: what are in ther e?
[04:44:00] EruditeHermit: GreyFoxx: in mythfrontend, it is set to ALSA:default and the mixer is default
[04:45:00] GreyFoxx: And you are using alsa I assume? That should do it
[04:45:00] cisox: NightMonkey: I used all of the myth ebuilds, it seems like several modules just aren't really working like they should.
[04:45:00] EruditeHermit: GreyFoxx: yes my machine is using ALSA
[04:45:00] GreyFoxx: unless you have customized your alsa config to use some other name

[04:47:00] GreyFoxx: EruditeHermit: Using a software encoding card ?
[04:47:00] NightMonkey: cisox: Hmm... That's odd. What guide(s) are you using to set up your box?
[04:47:00] EruditeHermit: GreyFoxx: yes
[04:48:00] GreyFoxx: then yeah, you are hearing it raw from the tuner
[04:48:00] GreyFoxx: you need to do some sort of mixer settings with one of those
[04:48:00] cisox: NightMonkey: Mostly just the IVTV wiki stuff. I was trying to find documentation but got hung up on this. Any suggestions?

[04:49:00] cisox: Thanks
[04:50:00] NightMonkey: cisox: Well, of course mythtv.org/docs. Unfortunately, the guide I used to setup my box is woefully out of date, but you might check the Gentoo Forums for new info, too.
[04:50:00] EruditeHermit: GreyFoxx: yeah, I followed that, but it still doesn't work
[04:51:00] EruditeHermit: GreyFoxx: my sound card has 100s of those mixer settings
[04:52:00] NightMonkey: cisox: And you know about gossamer-threads, right?

[06:44:00] cosmo_: im rather limited with space. Is it possible to hardware encode mpg-1? Or do I have to heat cpu with transcode?
[06:44:00] nuonguy: I can get invoke 'umix -d /dev/mixer1' and umix brings up controls for mixer1

[06:57:00] nuonguy: That's part of the problem
[06:57:00] nuonguy: I had to enable OSS on my card to get any audio to work
[06:57:00] nuonguy: It still stops working when I change channels
[06:58:00] nuonguy: To be clear: player DVDs always worked; Live TV audio didn't work until I enabled OSS and then I could at least manually setup my mixer devices to hear the TV until I change channels

[14:24:00] monkeyBox: hmmm... I see, so I have to record at a lower bitrate then, in order to accommodate? I don't know much about digital video, so I wasn't sure if there was any technology out there that could compress it "on-the-fly" so that it could be streamed over slower connections
[14:26:00] syle2: i thought the clients themselves buffered a certain amount before playing it to compensate for that
[14:26:00] laga: syle2: it's in the settings of the frontend.
[14:26:00] laga: monkeyBox: you might want to take a look at mythstreamtv
[14:26:00] GreyFoxx: syle: Yeah but that is for dealling with jitter or "jumpy" latency. If the bitrate is too high eventually the buffer runs out faster than it can be replenshed

[14:27:00] laga: 802.11b works well for my dvb-c recordings. sometimes. :)
[14:27:00] GreyFoxx: And if you want it over the internet I would suggest mythstreamtv as it will "transcode" on the fly to a lower bitrate/other media formate and stream that

[16:32:00] Beirdo: sure. because my asterisk is also behind the nat

[16:33:00] sphing: and you can receive calls also?
[16:33:00] Beirdo: NAT + SIP can be a HUGE nightmare
[16:33:00] GreyFoxx: only problem I run into is my works cisco pix box seems to cause issues if it's idle for too long
[16:34:00] sphing: especially for me, considering i IPSEC to another system that allows no incoming connections
[16:34:00] GreyFoxx: So I just route around that through another outbound firewall for all traffic to that box
[16:34:00] Beirdo: IAX works great through NAT
[16:34:00] Beirdo: so my provider connections are all IAX
[16:34:00] sphing: yes, but I don't have asterisks... my sip server is in a diff city
[16:35:00] GreyFoxx: Beirdo: I'll have to toy with that then.

[17:03:00] simcop2387: nope i was doing it wrong, whoops
[17:03:00] simcop2387: GreyFoxx: is there anyway to have mythfrontend start straight into watching tv?

[17:04:00] simcop2387: yes
[17:04:00] GreyFoxx: No idea, I've never looked to do that
[17:04:00] simcop2387: i want to start it there when i hit the power button on my remote
[17:05:00] GreyFoxx: Well, there is a jump point for livetv, but of course mythfrontend would have to be running already

[17:06:00] simcop2387: ah
[17:06:00] simcop2387: hmm
[17:07:00] simcop2387: my other idea is to start the "mythtv" program first in a shell script then after it exits have it run mythfrontend but i'd rather not have to do that if i don't have to, mythfrontend can go straight to a plugin when run but tv isn't a plugin :(

[17:09:00] Beirdo: broccoli rules
[17:10:00] simcop2387: yea, the main reason i don't want to start mythtv directly is that the program guide doesn't work properly then and i don't know how to fix that :)
[17:10:00] GreyFoxx: simcop2387: So havving myth frontend run all the time, and just configure the power button to jump right to live tv is not sufficient ?

[19:25:00] blh: if i have a pvr 250, am i taking advantage of the mpg2 hardware encoder, even though mythtv encodes things in nubble format?
[19:25:00] GreyFoxx: blh: If you have a 250 it just written as the mpeg to the .nuv files
[19:25:00] laga: it's spelled nuppel
[19:25:00] laga: and...yeah, see what greyfoxx's written ;)
[19:26:00] GreyFoxx: the nupplevideo format is only really used for software encoders
[19:26:00] blh: GreyFoxx: can you change it to mpg2 files, so that they are easier to backup, etc..?
[19:26:00] GreyFoxx: huh?
[19:26:00] GreyFoxx: It's IS an mpeg2 file, it just has a .nuv filename
[19:26:00] laga: blh: mv file.nuv file.mpg
[19:27:00] blh: so if i changed file.nuv to file.mpg, i would be able to make svcd's out of them, etc..? cause i have gone through a lengthy process of converting them once in order to back somethings up
[19:28:00] laga: blh: take a look at nuvexport
[19:28:00] GreyFoxx: blh: Well you would have to ensure it's either recorded or reencoded to have the right resolution/max bitrate tht an svcd allows
[19:29:00] blh: ahhh.. ok, but the encoding is all the same? why use .nub rather than .mpg?
[19:29:00] adante: THINK OF THE CHILDREN
[19:30:00] laga: blh: because of historical reasons? ;)
[19:30:00] laga: blh: FYI, in unix, file extensions mean nothing
[19:30:00] Beirdo: think of the kittens
[19:31:00] blh: laga, i know that.. but it doesnt seem to make sense, if they are mpg2 files, just to change the extention to .nuv.. just cause in unix extensions mean nothing
[19:31:00] laga: .oO(...every time you masturbate, a kitten kills god...)
[19:31:00] laga: blh: well, if it bothers you, file a bug in trac at cvs.mythtv.org
[19:33:00] blh: it doesnt bother me.. just curious as to the reasoning behind it.. and it has to be more than "just cause in unix extensions mean nothing"
[19:33:00] laga: BTW, would anyone know why my mpeg2enc called by nuvexport would only eat up 50% of my cpu cycles? even renicing to a negative nice level doesn't help
[19:34:00] laga: blh: well. back in the golden days, mythtv only supported software encoders. and they used nuppelvideo to do the encoding and they saw that it was good
[19:34:00] laga: blh: when the pvr x50s came up, they just continued to use this extension
[19:35:00] blh: laga: ahh.. that makes more sence.. so .nub and .mpg files are exactly the same?
[19:35:00] laga: blh: no.
[19:35:00] laga: blh: it's the content that matters.
[19:36:00] blh: ok.. so, mv file.nuv file.mpg; wont actually do the trick then?
[19:36:00] blh: you actually have to export those files to another format
[19:36:00] blh: correct?
[19:36:00] laga: blh: rtjpeg and mpeg4 recordings are in a nuppelvideo container, while the mpeg2 from the hardware encoders/dvb cards is dumped to disk with a .nuv extension.

[19:37:00] laga: right.
[19:37:00] jharrisonwk: what can be done if your provider gives an encrypted signal?
[19:37:00] Beirdo: nothing
[19:37:00] blh: so just mv file.nuv file.mpg; would actually do the trick.. as long as i am not using a software encoder?
[19:37:00] Beirdo: use their equipment to decrypt
[19:38:00] Beirdo: then capture the analog output instead of putting it into the TV
[19:38:00] laga: blh: umm. well, that'd give you a file with an .mpg extension.
[19:38:00] jharrisonwk: Beirdo: I was thinking of that
[19:38:00] jharrisonwk: Beirdo: but then I will have to change channels on the equipment they give me right?
[19:38:00] Beirdo: yes
[19:38:00] Beirdo: using an IR transmitter from the myth box
[19:38:00] Beirdo: generally
[19:39:00] blh: laga: right, but is it actually an mpg2 encoded file? or will it still need re-encoding?
[19:39:00] laga: blh: IT'S MPEG2 FOR GOD'S SAKE
[19:39:00] laga: *sigh*

[19:40:00] jharrisonwk: Beirdo: you can control channels with mythtv with an ir transmitter from the mythtv box
[19:40:00] Beirdo: yes
[19:40:00] blh: <blh> laga: ahh.. that makes more sence.. so .nub and .mpg files are exactly the same?
[19:40:00] blh: <laga> blh: no.
[19:40:00] blh: <laga> blh: it's the content that matters.
[19:40:00] Beirdo: it's like the mythbox is using a remote
[19:40:00] jharrisonwk: Beirdo: so you mean when I change channels on mythtv box mythtv box transmits the IR to the equipment and thus changes the channel
[19:40:00] jharrisonwk: Beirdo: ah I see
[19:40:00] blh: so that wasnt right.. its actually the same two files, with 2 different extentions?
[19:41:00] jharrisonwk: Beirdo: what about getting the digital signal from the provider and then have digital output from the providers equipment to digital capture card on mythtv
[19:41:00] jharrisonwk: Beirdo: that works too?
[19:41:00] Beirdo: if it's unencrypted, and you can find a card to capture the format, sure
[19:42:00] jharrisonwk: Beirdo: format?
[19:42:00] Beirdo: yes
[19:42:00] laga: blh: you just don't get it. a file with a .nuv extension may contain a variety of formats. for example, mpeeg4, rtjpeg or mpeg2.

[19:43:00] blh: laga: so just changing the file extension would work, since the .nuv file is actually a container for the mpg2 stream that came off my encoder?
[19:43:00] jharrisonwk: im sure I can build one based on linux for much cheaper then that
[19:44:00] jharrisonwk: im now plotting on how to go about this
[19:44:00] laga: blh: it. is. not. a. container.
[19:44:00] laga: blh: it's like 'cat /dev/video > /foo.nuv'
[19:45:00] blh: right.. which would make a mpg2 file w/ a .nuv extension.. which would make it so that i could just "mv foo.nuv foo.mpg", and it would be all i have to do?

[21:27:00] MrSpiffy: yo
[21:27:00] dougl: roggae: you are here
[21:27:00] dougl: there is a howto to make/setup mythtv on le2005... I just need to find it
[21:28:00] Beirdo: gooooogle
[21:28:00] MrSpiffy: google oogle oggle
[21:29:00] MrSpiffy: ney Beirdo, are they going to integrate your scripts into mythtv – like a media/recording option to export ?
[21:29:00] Beirdo: ?
[21:29:00] Beirdo: you mean nuvexport? That's more xris' than mine
[21:29:00] MrSpiffy: interate nuvexport into mythtv suite
[21:29:00] Beirdo: and I doubt it will be directly integrated any time soon
[21:30:00] MrSpiffy: too bad – it's good stuff. nelongs there
[21:30:00] MrSpiffy: belongs that is
[21:30:00] Beirdo: so YOU integrate it :)
[21:30:00] Beirdo: :)
[21:30:00] MrSpiffy: um
[21:30:00] MrSpiffy: er
[21:30:00] Beirdo: right
[21:30:00] Beirdo: and that's why it won't happen any time soon
[21:31:00] MrSpiffy: It's doen't look so bad – your scripts take command line opts, just store the opts in a mysql table in the mythconverge db
[21:31:00] Beirdo: they aren't my scripts.
[21:31:00] MrSpiffy: oh
[21:31:00] Beirdo: I helped with them
[21:31:00] MrSpiffy: thought they were
[21:32:00] Beirdo: xris did most of the work
[21:32:00] Beirdo: parts of it I wrote
[21:32:00] MrSpiffy: I wonder how mythfrontend or mythbackend takes commands to load perl scripts
[21:32:00] MrSpiffy: with opts
[21:33:00] Sneaker__: Hi
[21:33:00] MrSpiffy: ho
[21:33:00] Sneaker__: I'am running linuxbox with vnc, and running mythtvsetup is causing some problems because the xmlgrabber runs in terminal. Is there a way to run xmlgrabber in shell?
[21:34:00] MrSpiffy: right now I go ver to my backend and run the script at the console. It would be cool if it could be launched on a frontend like "begin transcoding" or "commercial flagging" job
[21:35:00] MrSpiffy: Sneaker__, I know this isn;t an answer but I have run mythtvsetup from an ssh session
[21:36:00] MrSpiffy: if you have sshd running on the machine then you could go that way
[21:36:00] MrSpiffy: ssh hostname mythtvsetup

[21:45:00] MrSpiffy: hehe

[21:47:00] ** MrSpiffy has had bad luck getting these things to work in an emulator **
[21:48:00] jharrisonwk: MrSpiffy: quake 2 runs in linux I think
[21:48:00] jharrisonwk: MrSpiffy: not the others though as far as I know
[21:48:00] jharrisonwk: MrSpiffy: maybe with winex
[21:48:00] sona: probably with cedega
[21:48:00] sona: quake2 works geat
[21:48:00] sona: great
[21:49:00] jharrisonwk: yeah cedega == winex
[21:49:00] MrSpiffy: jharrisonwk, I did try some of the q2 ports for linux – messed around with SDL al lthat – ran like crap
[21:50:00] jharrisonwk: MrSpiffy: really?
[21:50:00] MrSpiffy: jharrisonwk, never tried winex
[21:50:00] MrSpiffy: jharrisonwk, yeah – lag city between action and reaction
[21:50:00] jharrisonwk: MrSpiffy: all linux games for me run much smoother then on windows
[21:51:00] jharrisonwk: MrSpiffy: what graphics card do you have?
[21:51:00] MrSpiffy: i810
[21:51:00] jharrisonwk: intel?

[21:51:00] jharrisonwk: thats why
[21:51:00] jharrisonwk: intel linux support sucks

[21:51:00] MrSpiffy: amen brother

[21:52:00] jharrisonwk: but alas I have not played much games lately as I find myself coding and doing other things recently
[21:52:00] blh: jharrisonwk: do you use a radeon for tv-out by chance? have you had success w/ gatos?
[21:53:00] jharrisonwk: blh: I do use radeon with tv out but not with gatos
[21:54:00] jharrisonwk: blh: I use the fglrx ati proprietary driver

[21:54:00] MrSpiffy: jharrisonwk, what distrib?
[21:55:00] jharrisonwk: MrSpiffy: debian
[21:55:00] Sneaker__: weird!
[21:55:00] jharrisonwk: blh: radeon 9000 pro 2
[21:55:00] jharrisonwk: MrSpiffy: debian or nothing!
[21:55:00] Sneaker__: I moved my display to the linux box, but still, it wont run the xmlgrabber in terminal
[21:55:00] Sneaker__: any ideas?
[21:56:00] Sneaker__: it just runs through the part where it should be "grabbing" and tells me that I must run with --manual parameter.
[21:56:00] Sneaker__: bug?

[22:01:00] Sneaker__: because atm. I dont have anything in the xml file
[22:02:00] Sneaker__: and with mythfilldatabase it will move data from .xml to mysql database
[22:02:00] Sneaker__: --manual parameter is because my feed for the xml doesnt include channel numbers
[22:02:00] Sneaker__: so I have to punch it manually

[22:09:00] Beirdo: I think I'll swap in a Sipura later on
[22:09:00] Beirdo: if I really wanna geek out... bring a Sipura device, and reprogram her wrt54g and put asterisk on it
[22:09:00] GreyFoxx: heh yeah
[22:10:00] Beirdo: have the Sipura contact asterisk on it, and trunk with IAX to home
[22:10:00] Beirdo: hehe
[22:10:00] Beirdo: SIP + NAT = suck
[22:10:00] Beirdo: I think that would be rather fun

[22:11:00] GreyFoxx: now he has half his family on it
[22:11:00] GreyFoxx: they all call each other, he ordered them all SIP phones (cheapy grandstreams) and now they can all call each other for free since they all have broadband. Use to use up about $1000 or so a month between them all in LD charges
[22:12:00] GreyFoxx: his biggest problem has been NAT on a few of them, but we were thinking of putting asterisk on one of those units and peering it to get around that

[22:14:00] Beirdo: NAT will no longer be an issue
[22:14:00] GreyFoxx: apprently his wifes family are on the phone all the time heh
[22:14:00] Beirdo: as long as you don't try to transcode, the WRT54g may not have the balls to do that
[22:14:00] GreyFoxx: now he can still use his house phone too :)
[22:14:00] Beirdo: there are prebuilt packages for it though :)
