[00:00:00] Chutt: maybe? please don't lie when you're describing a problem.
[00:01:00] Gumby: Chutt: I could have sworn I did it last night

[00:02:00] Gumby: its gotta be something wrong with mythtv as far as I can tell.
[00:04:00] FuDing: Gumby the reason I ask is because I had a helluva time tracking down an intermittent vid error one time
[00:04:00] FuDing: didnt find it until I swapped vid cards
[00:04:00] FuDing: the first card had a bad ram chip
[00:04:00] FuDing: but you could only tell when running certain apps
[00:06:00] Gumby: FuDing: well, I was running this card with these tuners just yesterday and they ran fine
[00:06:00] FuDing: what did you change since then
[00:07:00] Gumby: since then I was messing with libqt stuff, thats about it
[00:07:00] FuDing: can you revert?
[00:07:00] Gumby: but I have all of that back to normal
[00:08:00] Gumby: and I have also checked it in here with someone that runs debian sarge. we have the same libqt packages
[00:08:00] FuDing: maybe you don't ;)
[00:08:00] FuDing: what about dependencies
[00:09:00] Gumby: I have run apt-get build-dep mythtv to make sure I have all the deps according to the debian packages at least
[00:09:00] Gumby: it shouldnt compile without the deps should it?
[00:10:00] FuDing: what I am asking is, when you went back to the old libqt, didnt it leave behind some updated deps

[00:10:00] Gumby: I dont believe so no. the deps I had installed were conflicting
[00:10:00] Gumby: so they were removed

[00:11:00] FuDing: then I go back to the hardware theory ;)
[00:11:00] whyz: hello.. i'm using an svideo cable together with my pvr350. on the other end, there's a svideo to scart adapter. This setup only gives me black&white picture.. is there some way to get around this?
[00:12:00] Gumby: FuDing: how is it hardware if I can a) play back an ivtv stream just fine and b) use tvtime to view the bttv card?
[00:13:00] FuDing: If yourestored the software exactly as it was the last time it worked, how is it not hardware?
[00:14:00] adante_ (n=adante@203-206-92-93.dyn.iinet.net.au) Quit (No route to host)
[00:15:00] Gumby: FuDing: I have said I have the same qtlibs. thats it. the kernel is different (allthough I think it ran ok on this kernel last night), and mythtv has been recompiled.
[00:17:00] FuDing: you didnt say that when I asked you what had changed since then LOL
[00:17:00] Gumby: well, as of last night the kernel was the same
[00:17:00] Gumby: as of last night the cards were the same

[01:05:00] Gumby: well, it looks like my kernel is the problem. Doesnt want to play with myth very well.
[01:05:00] Gumby: anyone know which kernel modules myth requires or if there are any patches that it prefers?
[01:06:00] Gumby: symptoms are stuttering playing back with both ivtv and bttv cards

[01:25:00] Servo888: ...
[01:26:00] Servo888: privileges might be a better term... But levels makes sense. Just like you have multiple security levels.
[01:27:00] Servo888: all I'm asking is should the user / root need read, write, exec rights?
[01:27:00] Dagmar: That implies a hierarchy. Chmod has no such thing.
[01:27:00] Dagmar: You need read-write access to the device as the user you intend to have reading from the tuner

[01:46:00] Servo888: Ok here's a strange issue... When I hit 'watch tv' I get about 3 seconds worth of show and then the picture stops, and mythtv goes back to the main screen (after about 10 secondS)
[01:46:00] Servo888: cating the input is fine; I get the video as long as I want and I can watch it fine
[01:52:00] Servo888: anybody?... I'll give you guys a cookie or something
[01:54:00] Servo888: two cookies maybe?
[01:54:00] Servo888: I'll like usps them; only 2 days coast to coast
[02:15:00] Gumby: hrm, does anyone know which video and audio codec are most commonly used for bttv cards?
[02:15:00] Gumby: for the livetv and recording profiles that is
[02:18:00] Servo888: Gumby, for recording or decoding?
[02:18:00] Servo888: afaik nupple video and mpeg are used for recoding.
[02:19:00] Servo888: At least in mythtv
[02:19:00] GreyFoxx: nupplevideo is acontainer, not a codec
[02:19:00] Servo888: So this one has decided to speak
[02:19:00] GreyFoxx: but for bttv cards you only have 2 choices. mpeg4 or rtjpeg
[02:19:00] Dagmar: They should just rename it NippleVideo, since we're all *thinking* it anyway
[02:19:00] GreyFoxx: most use mpeg4 unless they are hurting for cpu at which point they go rtjpeg
[02:21:00] Servo888: Hey GreyFoxx since you seem helpfull can you read above about my mythtv issue? So I'm watching tv, for about 2–3 seconds, and then the pictures freezes and mythtv goes back to the main menu.
[02:21:00] GreyFoxx: no idea
[02:21:00] GreyFoxx: I've seen people describe the same problem before. But I have no idea what it is as I've never seen it so I usually ignored the conversation :)
[02:22:00] Servo888: ah ok
[02:26:00] Gumby: hrm, strange. mythfronted cant connect to the backend on the same box all of a sudden
[02:27:00] Gumby: or maybe thats just a lirc message
[02:28:00] Gumby: as soon as I start the frontend the backend crashes
[02:28:00] Gumby: :(
[02:28:00] Gumby: all the backend shows is....
[02:29:00] Gumby: 2005-11–12 18:28:16.324 adding: fileserver as a remote ringbuffer
[02:29:00] Gumby: 2005-11–12 18:28:16.410 Changing from None to WatchingLiveTV
[02:29:00] Gumby: then of course nothing as its crashed
[02:30:00] Gumby: anyone have any ideas?
[02:30:00] Gumby: hrm, looks like it might be the bttv card. I removed the module and the fronted works now
[02:32:00] Gumby: tvtime allows the card to work just fine though.
[02:32:00] Gumby: strange

[08:31:00] mace: hi, can anyone help me out with building myth from source? i'd like to build from svn, but am unsure whether i should go for latest trunk or if there's a 'safer' bet (wife'll be unimpressed if the box doesn't record her programs, but ideally i'd like to use trunk so i can fix stuff)
[08:34:00] sungrazer: have it ever struck you that one of the main reasons men do stuff is because they want to impress the women.... ;)
[08:34:00] ** mace was being sarcastic :-P **
[08:34:00] sungrazer: hehe
[08:35:00] sungrazer: on a more serious note, I've been trying to build mythtv from source, and just installing it using rpms, and I've also tried the distro
[08:35:00] sungrazer: either of the installations break heavily whenever I upgrade the system

[08:37:00] sungrazer: mace: system wide upgrade. such as yum upgrade or apt-get upgrade :-)
[08:43:00] mace: sungrazer: aye, but an apt-get upgrade can update a single package, or install a new c compiler :)
[08:43:00] mace: are you talking a big upgrade then?

[08:55:00] ivor: do you want dvd playback? :)
[08:56:00] mace: at some point, but i don't have a dvd player in that machine atm so i won't be too unhappy if i don't have it atm

[08:58:00] ivor: mace: re DVD take a look in config.log to see why it's disabled.
[08:58:00] mace: ivor: i do read both mailing lists, but it's a full time job to keep up with all the specifics, which is why i suggested someone that happens to already do that, to just keep a brief summary of what the score is
[08:59:00] ivor: hmmm myth doesn't make a config.log. never noticed that.
[08:59:00] Dagmar: Myth's configure script only pretends to be GNU
[08:59:00] ivor: Basically check the configure script to see what the prerequisites are.
[08:59:00] ivor: libdvd* I assume.
[08:59:00] mace: it wants libdvdnav
[09:00:00] Dagmar: The first time I built it I had to bang on it a little to get it to be able to build against Slackware's slightly oblong Qt package
[09:00:00] Dagmar: mace: Probably libdvdread and libdvdcss as well'
[09:00:00] mace: that's the only one configure checks for (but you're no doubt correct)
[09:00:00] ivor: indeed, I expect dvdnav won't install without the others. :)
[09:02:00] Dagmar: You wanna know that libdvd* I have installed?
[09:02:00] mace: nah configure's happy nwo
[09:03:00] mace: now
[09:03:00] Dagmar: Okay.
[09:03:00] ** mace tries building **
[09:03:00] mace: only a p3 so will take a while
[09:03:00] Dagmar: Oof
[09:03:00] mace: hopefully ccache will mitigate future builds

[09:05:00] mace: themes has it's own configure so i'm guessing a similar setup
[09:06:00] Dagmar: Yeah, but themes gets done *quick*

[09:15:00] Dagmar: hmm... It worked for the last release tarball of that
[09:15:00] Dagmar: ...and there are *no* problems with making prefix=/usr
[09:16:00] mace: oddness
[09:16:00] mace: oh, ahh
[09:17:00] mace: sneaky, it's trying to use mythtv's mythconfig.mak
[09:18:00] Aneurysm9: yeah, if I try to use another prefix it comes up with a broken symlink to that
[09:20:00] Dagmar: Try adding "QMAKE_PROJECT_DEPTH = 0" to the *.pro files
[09:20:00] Dagmar: I've got mythtv and myth-themes building as packages here. Nothing broken in 'em
[09:21:00] Dagmar: That variable makes qmake/moc be less retarded about file paths, so it may just not ever be hitting whatever's causing your broken symlinks
[09:21:00] Aneurysm9: I've got nothing broken either, one system using --prefix=/usr and another with --prefix=/usr/local but I would surmise if you tried to mix the prefixes things may go bad

[10:16:00] P4C0: hello
[10:17:00] Dagmar: this hour of the night is a bit slow
[10:18:00] Dagmar: About six hours earlier from now, or maybe eight hours further along there will likely be someone
[10:18:00] P4C0: ok, but I just want to know a little more about nexus tv
[10:19:00] sungrazer: the hauppage card – I am about to buy one too
[10:19:00] P4C0: as far as I know is it possible to just buy a nexus tv card, a normal rca antenna and just plug it all together and have free tv from everywhere?
[10:20:00] P4C0: but the satellite tv service is free? I mean it's hard for me to beleve that there's no fee for that, no encription, no authentication, just some satellites giving free tv signals to all places in the world!?
[10:20:00] Dagmar: It's not free
[10:21:00] sungrazer: you need a subscription to be able to receive the encrypted channels
[10:21:00] P4C0: I have heard that you can crack it? and get the service for free? btw, which are the services providers?
[10:22:00] P4C0: and there's no unencrypted channels at all?
[10:22:00] Dagmar: Some of the channels are unencrypted, but I've no idea which ones those might be
[10:23:00] sungrazer: depends on what sattelite you're pulling the signal from and your location in the world, I guess
[10:23:00] P4C0: the worst ones, that's for sure
[10:23:00] sungrazer: possibly
[10:24:00] P4C0: I just heared about a guy that live in cuba, and have this setup and according to him he get signals from 3 satellites for free... it was just to hard to beleve, so I'm trying to do some research, at least the card exists :p
[10:24:00] sungrazer: if you want encrypted services you need to sign up for a subscription. it's as simple as that
[10:24:00] P4C0: is there a place to find the available subscriptors?
[10:25:00] sungrazer: surely – but it's usually specific to the country you are living in
[10:25:00] splat1 is now known as splAt1
[10:26:00] P4C0: well I'm in Panama right now, and as far as I know, here there's no satellite subscriptors, we do have a direct tv and cable tv operators
[10:27:00] P4C0: and I have heared about some buildings that have their own antennas for tv, but there's no publicity about it in the medias
[10:30:00] sungrazer: if you make a phone call to the tv channel that you want to watch they might know how you should go about to get tv via a sattelite dish

[10:34:00] sungrazer: another link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Communications_in_Panama
[10:34:00] sungrazer: might give you a few leads
[10:35:00] sungrazer: "Only one company in Panama holds a concession for satellite TV services: DirecTV Latin America"
[10:35:00] P4C0: yeah, does direct tv guys...
[10:35:00] sungrazer: mind you, I've never been to panama, nor do I know squat about the region so I might be totally off :D
[10:36:00] P4C0: but how does it works... I mean does direct tv owns a satellite or something?
[10:36:00] P4C0: sungrazer, where are you from?
[10:36:00] sungrazer: usually you need to have a tuner, a sattelite dish pointed in the correct direction and some LNBs to pick up the signal
[10:37:00] sungrazer: I'm in norway
[10:37:00] P4C0: Intelsat is used primarily for international communications. PanAmSat (US) provides international broadcast and data services in Panama. <--hummm
[10:37:00] P4C0: sungrazer, cold?
[10:38:00] sungrazer: 7.5 C
[10:38:00] sungrazer: not particularly cold, no
[10:39:00] P4C0: I was in spain about 3 weeks ago, but it wasn't that cold, 15 C or so, I just love the cold, I have no idea what I'm doing in such a hot place like this :p
[10:42:00] toom: do I really have to allow_url_fopen = On in my php.ini for if mythtv is running on the same host than apache?

[17:59:00] ivor: Juski: you probably want to use inkscape to draw first, and then tidy up and merge stuff in Gimp.
[17:59:00] sandos: Juski: maybe inkscape? =)
[17:59:00] GreyFoxx: I'm sure the vast majority of the work is done in PS since by far most Graphic designers are Windows/Mac fella who are trained in it :)

[18:08:00] Juski: prodigy7: that's either a timezone problem, or a time sync issue between the backend & frontend
[18:08:00] prodigy7: ahhhhh – good hint
[18:08:00] prodigy7: Sun Nov 13 19:09:34 Local time zone must be set--see zic manual page 2005

[18:10:00] Juski: well, you know now so there's no problem, right? ;)
[18:12:00] prodigy7: juski: there are maybe some people who don't chat in irc and find someone like you :-)
[18:13:00] Juski: on my 1st frontend I never saw the problem because I was using ntp on the backend & the frontend
[18:14:00] Juski: I forgot to do that on the new frontend
[18:15:00] prodigy7: now, sometime, when i installed gentoo, i forgot set timezone like today ... but that's the first time i forgot this on an pc which works an an frontend :-)
[18:16:00] Silence_: Lets see if I've got this straight: If I want to record something and watch something at the same time I would need two tuners, right?

[21:09:00] AndyS: I've got it all up ad running but I have to hit certain keys several times before they are recognized.
[21:10:00] rachel: hi guys, is there anyone here who can help me with the transcoding options?
[21:10:00] slide: rachel, hehe just what i was about to start looking into :)
[21:10:00] mofu_: marc_in_lux: I think XFS is prefered as long as its supported by your distro. I'm running RAID-0 on my backend right now . . . .
[21:11:00] rachel: i'm a little confused here as to what my settings should be in terms of the options in dvb encoders vs transcoders..
[21:11:00] mofu_: rachel: satellite type stuff?
[21:11:00] marc_in_lux: mofu_, can one shrink an xfs filesystem nowadays
[21:11:00] marc_in_lux: ?
[21:12:00] mofu_: marc_in_lux: not sure . . . .
[21:12:00] rachel: finally got hdtv working but my machine seems to be too slow to play it regular, so i'm trying to set up transcoding options
[21:12:00] mofu_: rachel: what are your machine specs?
[21:13:00] rachel: for the frontend or backend?
[21:13:00] rachel: they're separate machines
[21:13:00] mofu_: my personal opinion is that transcoding HD defeats the purpose . . .
[21:13:00] mofu_: frontend
[21:13:00] rachel: yea, i've been trying to isolate if it's just the frontend machine is too slow or the network or twhat
[21:14:00] rachel: the frontend is 2.26ghz
[21:14:00] mofu_: rachel: if its 10/100 over Cat5 it should be fine for a couple streams
[21:14:00] mofu_: 2.26Ghz? what type?
[21:14:00] rachel: p4
[21:15:00] mofu_: probably a little short, do you have dual channel memory on the motherboard?
[21:15:00] rachel: no
[21:16:00] AndyS: #help
[21:16:00] AndyS: ?
[21:16:00] mofu_: I have 2.8Ghz Celeron-D w/512MB on Dual Channel board . . . . about 80% at 1080i
[21:16:00] mofu_: I would say no chance w/o dual channel at only 2.26 . . . . sorry,

[21:17:00] rachel: the frontend machine is a digimatriz
[21:17:00] rachel: x rather
[21:17:00] slide: Should i not bother with transcoding if i only have like a 1.7Ghz?
[21:17:00] slide: Is that too slow?

[21:18:00] mofu_: I think Nvidia stuff is helpful also, have you seen any reports of people using Digimatrix successfully as HD frontend?
[21:19:00] mofu_: it probably needs to understand what stream type its working with
[21:19:00] Juski: ziggy2: excellent news!
[21:19:00] mofu_: sorry, don't know much about transcoding . . .
[21:19:00] rachel: thanks anyway mofu_
