[00:00:00] | dhofstra_: | anyway, I used it as a livecd, apt-got mythtv and plugins, and it ran damn well on this pIII 600mhz as a live cd |
[00:00:00] | mofu: | you prefer kde or gnome? |

[00:00:00] | dhofstra_: | someone should package up a 'live cd' frontend.. |

[00:00:00] | dhofstra_: | i like kde |
[00:00:00] | mofu: | like KnoppMyth?? |
[00:01:00] | rjune: | that's not a livecd |
[00:01:00] | Zentar: | this channel has the guys who encode atlantis? |
[00:01:00] | dhofstra_: | knoppmyth doesnt run a frontend as a livecd, though i thought it would only install |
[00:01:00] | mofu: | yes it is |
[00:01:00] | mofu: | it used to |
[00:01:00] | rjune: | didn't about 2 months or so ago |
[00:01:00] | SuPerher0: | guys how do you incorporate a directv reciever into mythtv (channel lineups) |
[00:02:00] | dhofstra_: | i couldnt believe how well the livecd worked ... I was thinking it would choke on the mpeg2 streams |
[00:02:00] | Zentar: | just wanted to know the general time period they release it was all.. i need to do some xmas shopping lol |
[00:02:00] | mofu: | what a waste, they should drop the Knopp prefix if it doesn't run live |

[00:02:00] | Servo888: | I've got an unecrypted dvd (movies from one of those dvd recorders); I want to make an iso image of it – can I just use the dd command? |
[00:02:00] | dhofstra_: | SuPerher0 if you are in the US, you can just add the directtv lineup to your zap2it listings |
[00:03:00] | SuPerher0: | it wont let me |
[00:03:00] | SuPerher0: | maybe i didnt see it |
[00:03:00] | mofu: | SuPerher0: plug it into tv/encoder card |
[00:03:00] | dhofstra_: | Servo888 dunno, but I use dvddecryptor under wine flawlessly.. it can make an iso just fine |
[00:03:00] | mofu: | err, sorry, you asked about lineups, Zap2It has Direct |
[00:03:00] | dhofstra_: | also DVDShrink works flawlessly under wine too... |
[00:04:00] | dhofstra_: | wine got alot better now that it is beta |
[00:04:00] | mofu: | Wine will be quite popular under OSX86 . . . |
[00:05:00] | dhofstra_: | walmart music download even worked; although I cant play the damn DRM'd files... lol |

[00:07:00] | SuPerher0: | yea i have the lineups now, thx. BTW does anyone here watch satellite on mythtv |
[00:07:00] | dhofstra_: | me |
[00:07:00] | dhofstra_: | I have homebrew lirc transmitter (amplified version) firing off to two sat boxen |
[00:08:00] | dhofstra_: | works flawlessly. the one thing I did is edit the change_channel_lirc script to send the 'exit' remote code right after sending the channel number info so that the sat boxes OSD cleared the screen right away |
[00:08:00] | _nero_: | anyone here running spdif on a soundblaster live card?? |
[00:10:00] | SuPerher0: | dhofstra_: so your transmitter controlls your mythbox, and your mythbox controlls your 2 dbs ird's, right? |
[00:11:00] | dhofstra_: | SuPerher0: no, my homebrew lirc reciever recieves the commands from my remote, lirc then sends that info to mythtv, mythtv then sends the command back to lirc transmitter; transmitter led fires at sat box; sat box changes channel |

[00:12:00] | SuPerher0: | wow thats confusing as hell, hehe |
[00:12:00] | dhofstra_: | lol |
[00:13:00] | eidolon: | that's not different from any other 'secondary' system that needs to control an external tuner. such as a vcr. |
[00:13:00] | eidolon: | er, no different. |
[00:13:00] | dhofstra_: | my finger --> remote button --> ir signal --> caught by lirc reciever --> lirc sends command to mythtv --> myth sends command to lirc transmitter --> transmitter sends sat remote key to sat box. |
[00:13:00] | SuPerher0: | but you use a IR-blaster thing ? |
[00:14:00] | SuPerher0: | ok what is a lirc reciever? |
[00:14:00] | dhofstra_: | I have made the homebrew reciever and homebrew transmitter.. they both work on the same serial port |

[00:14:00] | dhofstra_: | many people run 1 instance of lirc to use their hauppauge remote as a reciever, and they buy a transmitter for the serial port run by 2nd instance of lirc |
[00:15:00] | SuPerher0: | i have a rf serial port adapter |
[00:15:00] | SuPerher0: | i mean IR |
[00:15:00] | dhofstra_: | the lirc site has schematics. I once gmail'd someone a parts list .. I can forward it to you if you like.. it seems like a great project but probably takes more time and $$ than it is worth |
[00:15:00] | SuPerher0: | yea i love collecting stuff like that |

[00:21:00] | dhofstra_: | eidolon i guess you could just use the lircd --nodaemon and that will show you messages that normally would go to the log while you use mythtv. |

[00:22:00] | eidolon: | okay, it's listening... |
[00:22:00] | dhofstra_: | so when you notice it is no longer working/ switch to that terminal and see if there are any errors in the --nodaemon window |

[00:24:00] | eidolon: | lircd-0.7.2pvr150[10329]: accepted new client on /dev/lircd |

[00:25:00] | dhofstra_: | did you setup your /etc/lircd.conf with actual buttons for your hauppauge remote? |
[00:25:00] | eidolon: | it's -possible- this is a physical connection on the receiver. it was working before i moved things, but i also rebooted, restarted myth, etc etc etc. |
[00:25:00] | eidolon: | yeah, this is knoppmyth. everything -was- working. i could navigate the menus and everything. |
[00:25:00] | dhofstra_: | oh |
[00:26:00] | dhofstra_: | well that will drive you bonkers.. heh |
[00:26:00] | eidolon: | no kidding. |

[00:26:00] | dhofstra_: | SuPerher0 did you still want that email? |

[00:44:00] | dhofstra_: | i could run that on my PIII 600mhz with kde |

[00:52:00] | mofu: | lol |
[00:52:00] | Brixius: | for a small distro fe, you could probably strip knoppmyth of the backend installer and it would fit on a 512 cf card, you can allready boot from cd frontend with it. |

[02:28:00] | Captain_Murdoch: | Kelerion: nah, my backends store to a remote NFS server. I've got a question about the disk usage when there are multiple backends sharing storage. I think the disk usage is calculated wrong but can't test myself right now. |
[02:28:00] | Kelerion: | ahh okies.. sorry can't help then |
[02:28:00] | Goshen: | Captain_Murdoch: no, the display shows on both, and the video plays on the monitor not the tv, I want them both to play on the tv |
[02:28:00] | Captain_Murdoch: | might fire up one on my dev box so I can test. |
[02:29:00] | Goshen: | Captain_Murdoch: this is a very common problem in windows, and I know how to fix it there, its in the driver settings |

[02:29:00] | Kelerion: | you think it's calculating the usage wrong? |
[02:29:00] | Goshen: | Captain_Murdoch: happens all of the time when I go to a seminar and the gui shows just find on the projector, but the video always plays on their laptop screen and not on the projector |
[02:29:00] | Captain_Murdoch: | Goshen: are they separate X displays (ie, 0.0 and 0.1 or 0.0 and 1.0, etc..) |
[02:29:00] | Goshen: | no, they are the same |
[02:29:00] | Goshen: | what I see on the tv, I see on the monitor |

[02:30:00] | GreyFoxx: | Sounds like an ATI card to me :) |
[02:30:00] | Captain_Murdoch: | Kelerion: there is some code to make slaves not count their space if they share storage with the master, but I think that code might have been taken out accidentilly a while back because I can't find it where I thought it was. |

[02:31:00] | Goshen: | butI am runnning xorg |
[02:31:00] | GreyFoxx: | Captain_Murdoch: Nope, my slave is currently storing to it's local drive, but the master writes to an nfs store |

[03:45:00] | quantum_: | no, it is an older program |
[03:46:00] | Kelerion: | you could try symlinking the deps.. and forcing it.. but it's unlikely |
[03:47:00] | Kelerion: | depends on the program/dist/deps etc etc |
[03:47:00] | quantum_: | hmm, there is no general way to handle this type of problem? |
[03:49:00] | Kelerion: | I don't know if ncurses allows multiple versions and if there'd be any conflict |
[03:50:00] | quantum_: | guess I could try and figure out where the program is specing out that version and change it also |
[03:51:00] | quantum_: | ln -s libncurses.so.5.4 libncurses.so.1.9.9e |
[03:51:00] | quantum_: | that didn't work |
[03:51:00] | Brixius: | I think I broke my myth :( I tried compiling and installing the svn myth on knoppmyth, apparently that doesn't work. |

[03:52:00] | NightMonkey: | Kelerion: I found a thread in the Gentoo Forums on your mobo – it doesn't look pretty, but, from my skim of it, it looks like only kernels > 2.6.12 have some support, and disabling apic on boot appears to help some stuffs. http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-304540-p . . . tart-50.html . Many of the solutions aren't Gentoo-specific, but YMMV. |
[03:53:00] | Kelerion: | never installed gentoo before.. but have the disks |
[03:53:00] | NightMonkey: | Kelerion: Again, some of the solutions don't require Gentoo – might help with other distros. |
[03:54:00] | NightMonkey: | Kelerion: The noapic boot option (or the apic=debug) might help? |
[03:54:00] | Kelerion: | I tend to do that by default anyways when I'm installing.. saves tons of problems later |
[03:54:00] | Kelerion: | but will bookmark it and read it in the morning (it's 4am!) lol |
[03:54:00] | Kelerion: | thanks for the tip! |
[03:54:00] | NightMonkey: | Kelerion: No sweat. |
[03:55:00] | NightMonkey: | Kelerion: Many complaints on the Gentoo Forums relate to video driver support for ATI (not very good), so you won't be out of the woods, yet, I'm afraid... |
[03:56:00] | Kelerion: | I have an onboard ATI x300 driving one monitor and a pci-e x700 driving the other two (trips monitor setup) so should be fun.. lol |
[03:57:00] | Brixius: | how can I tell what version of the backend vs frontend I'm using is there something like a --version option to print the version? |
[03:57:00] | NightMonkey: | Kelerion: Wow, You're a Frontiersman. ;) |
[03:59:00] | Kelerion: | Brixius, tells you in the logs when you starup backend.. or run frontend from console and it'll tell you there |
[03:59:00] | Brixius: | ok, thanks |

[05:43:00] | PaulWay[w]: | In nuvexport when printing 'x of y frames', why is y about 1.5 orders of magnitude larger than it should be? |
[05:44:00] | kormoc: | PaulWay[w], nuvexport only guesses the frame count, it's not very accurate. |
[05:44:00] | PaulWay[w]: | E.g. I've just compressed a half-hour show that reckoned it had 657576 frames, and it got to 37471 and finished. |
[05:45:00] | PaulWay[w]: | Admittedly this is with a cut list, but the cut is probably only 10% in from the end... |
[05:45:00] | Chutt: | the quicktime format decoder is in mythtv/libs/libavformat/, btw. |
[05:45:00] | PaulWay[w]: | kormoc: Is that done in mythtranscode or nuvexport? |
[05:45:00] | kormoc: | Chutt, but is it actually used in mythfrontend for recorded tv? |
[05:46:00] | kormoc: | PaulWay[w], I beleive it is done in nuvexport, and I beleive the issue is with newer versions of transcode that changed how they calculate the frames. |
[05:46:00] | Chutt: | not for recording it |
[05:46:00] | Chutt: | but it's there. |
[05:46:00] | Chutt: | and compiled, and playback works. |
[05:46:00] | PaulWay[w]: | kormoc: it seems to have been this way since I was using 0.17... |
[05:46:00] | kormoc: | kk. fair nuff, but adding quicktime to the xbox won't help with porting myth. |
[05:46:00] | Chutt: | because myth uses ffmpeg :p |
[05:46:00] | kormoc: | Chutt, ahh, oops :P |
[05:47:00] | kormoc: | PaulWay[w], yeah, I beleive it's a issue with transcode or ffmpeg, whichever is the default, not mythtranscode. |

[05:48:00] | kormoc: | PaulWay[w], at least, that's my rememberence. Might wanna poke at https://svn.forevermore.net/nuvexport/ and see if there's already a ticket about that |
[05:48:00] | PaulWay[w]: | The FPS is fairly accurate, and I can work it out by dividing from 25 FPS. |
[05:49:00] | pembo13: | quick question, how do i record something that i am watching? |
[05:50:00] | PaulWay[w]: | Press 'r' on the keyboard. |

[05:50:00] | PaulWay[w]: | If you've got a remote set up, you should be able to press it's 'record' button. |
[05:50:00] | PaulWay[w]: | I think so. It's been a long while since I've done that. |
[05:50:00] | ** Gumby is trying to think of a good way to sort his data. 1x200gb 3x80gb 1x40gb 1x20gb. I was using LVM but it seems to be a bit flaky thus far. ** | |
[05:50:00] | Gumby: | anyone have any suggestions? |
[05:51:00] | JoeyJoeJo: | what would you guys suggest as a good frontend for a living room that is quiet and low cost? |
[05:51:00] | PaulWay[w]: | The Via EPIA machines work pretty well. |
[05:52:00] | kormoc: | Gumby, lvm isn't /that/ bad. I've heard good things about evms ontop of lvm. |
[05:52:00] | Gumby: | kormoc: well, I keep getting bad fs errors and then the volume is all of a sudden switched to read only. |
[05:52:00] | PaulWay[w]: | AFAIK there's an install for running a front end on one either via network boot or local disk. |
[05:52:00] | kormoc: | Gumby, that would be how it's designed, sounds like one of your drives are going bad. |
[05:53:00] | PaulWay[w]: | Gumby: That's pretty odd – I'm using LVM and have no problems. What is the flakiness? |
[05:53:00] | Gumby: | Dec 5 20:22:09 localhost kernel: EXT3-fs error (device dm-0): ext3_readdir: bad entry in directory #42844167: rec_len is smaller than minimal – offset=0, inode=0, rec_len=0, name_len=0 |
[05:53:00] | Gumby: | Dec 5 20:22:09 localhost kernel: EXT3-fs error (device dm-0) in start_transaction: Journal has aborted |
[05:53:00] | kormoc: | Gumby, you're not using rieser are you? |
[05:53:00] | Gumby: | kormoc: nope, ext3 |
[05:53:00] | Gumby: | I made the mistake of LVM+reiserfs once |
[05:53:00] | Gumby: | heh |
[05:53:00] | PaulWay[w]: | You're using ext3 on that? |
[05:53:00] | kormoc: | kk, rieser + lvm == death it seems. |
[05:53:00] | PaulWay[w]: | Hmmm,. |
[05:53:00] | Gumby: | PaulWay[w]: see what kormoc said |
[05:53:00] | Gumby: | heh |
[05:53:00] | PaulWay[w]: | I use lvm and xfs. |
[05:54:00] | Gumby: | lvm is too flaky in situations where power loss is a possability |
[05:54:00] | Gumby: | err |
[05:54:00] | kormoc: | Gumby, have you done a full forced fsck on it? |
[05:54:00] | Gumby: | reiserfs |
[05:54:00] | PaulWay[w]: | Unfortunately it means I can't shrink my partition. |
[05:54:00] | Gumby: | kormoc: yeah, whenever the errors happen. |
[05:54:00] | kormoc: | and fsck comes out clean? |
[05:54:00] | Gumby: | it recovers just fine. but then within a few days I get the errors again |
[05:54:00] | rjune: | take the money you would save on windows, and purchase a battery |
[05:54:00] | PaulWay[w]: | lvm may not be the cause of your flakiness... |
[05:54:00] | Gumby: | PaulWay[w]: it may not be. But if a drive is failing then its not an option at the moment. |
[05:55:00] | Gumby: | I am in the process of backing up right now |
[05:55:00] | kormoc: | actually, how large is your LVM? |
[05:55:00] | PaulWay[w]: | Have you got smartmon and looked into the smart information? |
[05:55:00] | PaulWay[w]: | kormoc: 500GB would be my estimate. |
[05:55:00] | Gumby: | then I'll break up the LVM and see if Ican deduce which drive is causing the trouble (if it is a single drive) |
[05:55:00] | Gumby: | about 430 something |
[05:55:00] | PaulWay[w]: | I'd suggest trying to replace some of the smaller drives with a newer, single larger one. |
[05:55:00] | kormoc: | hrm |
[05:56:00] | Gumby: | /dev/mapper/4474-storage 425G 34G 371G 9% /storage |
[05:56:00] | PaulWay[w]: | Oh well, back of head calculation... |
[05:56:00] | kormoc: | Gumby, do you have a block number for the errored read/write? |
[05:56:00] | Gumby: | PaulWay[w]: hehe, in an ideal world I'd have the money to do that |
[05:56:00] | pembo13: | umm, another question, once i have used "left" to go backwards in time, how do i go back to normal time? |
[05:56:00] | Gumby: | kormoc: one sec, let me check the logs |
[05:56:00] | kormoc: | I seem to recall reading about a issue with LVM + ext3 + large arrays with it screwing up and miscalulating blocks as way way way beyond the end of the drive array |
[05:56:00] | PaulWay[w]: | pembo13: are you using stickykeys? |
[05:57:00] | PaulWay[w]: | ext3 doesn't handle creating and deleting very large files well. Use xfs or jfs. |
[05:57:00] | pembo13: | PaulWay[w]: i don't yet know enough to say yes or no, but i would say no |
[05:57:00] | Gumby: | kormoc: this is all I see..... |

[05:57:00] | Gumby: | thats in /var/log/messages |
[05:57:00] | kormoc: | that's the error |
[05:57:00] | PaulWay[w]: | That's definitely it. |
[05:57:00] | kormoc: | yeah... |
[05:57:00] | ** kormoc trys to recall the fix ** | |
[05:58:00] | PaulWay[w]: | Use xfs. |
[05:58:00] | kormoc: | PaulWay[w], ext3 is surprisingly simple to recover large filesystem errors on tho ;) |
[05:58:00] | PaulWay[w]: | pembo13: what does the 'right' key do? |
[05:58:00] | Gumby: | so dont use ext3? |
[05:58:00] | PaulWay[w]: | kormoc: I'm not a file system expert, I'm just saying what's working for me. |
[05:58:00] | Gumby: | use something else like xfs or reiser? |
[05:59:00] | PaulWay[w]: | Every guide I've seen – Jarod's, for instance – says to use xfs or jfs, or if you _really_ need to, reiser. |
[05:59:00] | kormoc: | Gumby, can you dumpe2fs -h /dev/vgx/lvx and make sure that the directory inode is valid? |
[05:59:00] | Gumby: | reiser has been unstable for me. xfs I have 0 experience with |

[06:02:00] | GorgJr: | okay this is really weird.. mythtv starts up jsut fine, audio/video work fine.. then it crashes after like 2 seconds and goes back to the main menu... |

[06:03:00] | PaulWay[w]: | Gumby: I was going to say 'that's an awful old kernel'... |
[06:03:00] | Gumby: | kormoc: its a debian kernel thats been compiled by myself. 2.6.8-myth |
[06:03:00] | GorgJr: | mythfrontend |
[06:03:00] | Gumby: | hehe, just as old |
[06:03:00] | PaulWay[w]: | GorgJr: is this when you play live TV? |
[06:03:00] | GorgJr: | yeah |
[06:03:00] | kormoc: | Gumby, vanilla sources? |
[06:03:00] | GorgJr: | I have 2.1gb free... |
[06:03:00] | Gumby: | kormoc: I forget. its been some time. |
[06:04:00] | PaulWay[w]: | GorgJr: and what happens when you try to play a recording? |
[06:04:00] | Gumby: | kormoc: I compiled and tested so many. had issues with newer kernels and ivtv |
[06:04:00] | GorgJr: | I do'nt have any recordings... |
[06:04:00] | Gumby: | kormoc: I believe it was a debian source |
[06:04:00] | PaulWay[w]: | Ah, crap, it's going to rain when I want to go out to dinner. |
[06:04:00] | Gumby: | kormoc: yes, it was a debian source kernel |
[06:05:00] | kormoc: | Gumby, hrm. The patch to fix that issue was to have gone into 2.6.4. I wonder if perhaps a debian specific patch screwed it up |
[06:05:00] | Gumby: | kormoc: hrm, which patch was it... how can I figure it out? |
[06:05:00] | kormoc: | (and by the way, there's a way to speed up ext3's direectory lookups quite a bit with htrees) |
[06:05:00] | GorgJr: | fuck |
[06:06:00] | GorgJr: | this makes no sense |
[06:06:00] | kormoc: | Gumby, it was part of the large block-device patch |
[06:06:00] | PaulWay[w]: | 75 Km/h storm front approaching... |
[06:06:00] | kormoc: | hrm |
[06:06:00] | kormoc: | Gumby, I would try using a newer vanilla kernel if I was you. |
[06:06:00] | pembo13: | how do i watch an inprogress recording? |
[06:07:00] | kormoc: | cause yeah, that directory is a valid inode so fsck should have been able to fix it. |
[06:07:00] | PaulWay[w]: | GorgJr: Is the front end running from a command line? |
[06:07:00] | kormoc: | pembo13, go into recorded programs and select it and watch it |
[06:07:00] | Gumby: | kormoc: I gave it a shot. I had issues with ivtv being VERY choppy with them |
[06:08:00] | kormoc: | Gumby, I'm using 2.6.15 with ivtv .4.0 and it's been fine with my m179 (pvr 250 rebranded) |
[06:08:00] | PaulWay[w]: | GorgJr: the front end might be outputting some useful debug. |
[06:08:00] | GorgJr: | hrmm |
[06:08:00] | pembo13: | kormoc: i thought so, but it shows no recordings |
[06:08:00] | Gumby: | hrm. maybe I can try 2.6.15 |
[06:08:00] | Gumby: | did you apply any other patches? |
[06:08:00] | Gumby: | just vanilla source? |
[06:08:00] | pembo13: | kormoc: however, when i go to watch tv it says that i am currently recording something |
[06:08:00] | kormoc: | just vanilla |
[06:08:00] | GorgJr: | PaulWay[w], , it records fine... |
[06:08:00] | Gumby: | kernel.org ? |
[06:08:00] | kormoc: | yup |

[06:10:00] | GorgJr: | i get a few of those.. |

[06:12:00] | GorgJr: | http://rafb.net/paste/results/I2S0pL30.html |
[06:12:00] | PaulWay[w]: | And does the mythbackend log say anything at that time? |
[06:13:00] | PaulWay[w]: | GorgJr: that makes me think that there's some problem with mythfrontend communicating on port 6543 or whatever local socket it uses with the backend. |
[06:13:00] | GorgJr: | okay |
[06:13:00] | GorgJr: | it should be fine |
[06:13:00] | PaulWay[w]: | But if you can watch a recorded program, it uses the same protocol, and that works. |
[06:13:00] | PaulWay[w]: | Have you googled the error? |

[06:34:00] | PaulWay[w]: | make install will, make won't. |
[06:34:00] | PaulWay[w]: | make just leaves all the executables in their respective directories. |
[06:35:00] | PaulWay[w]: | You _should_ be able to run a binary from within the source directory and it run OK, but you may have to set LD_LIBRARY_PATH to include the freshly compiled libraries. |
[06:35:00] | nuonguy: | I guess I'll have to --configure-prefix=/home/mythuser/bin ... or something |
[06:35:00] | nuonguy: | Well, the problem I had was that mythplugins was looking for a header I didn't want to install |

[06:37:00] | GorgJr: | still alot to figure out with it |
[06:37:00] | GorgJr: | not rocket science but great |
[06:38:00] | nuonguy: | First off, it ran kudzu which overwrote my modprobe.conf |
[06:38:00] | Gumby: | kormoc: hrm, ok.. I am a little bit confused. I am in the vanillal 2.6.14.3 kernel (/usr/src/linux-2.6.14.3) and I did patch -p0 < ../patch-2.6.15-rc1 am I missing something here |
[06:38:00] | GorgJr: | modprobe.conf |
[06:38:00] | kormoc: | nuonguy, in all fairness, that wasn't the nvidia driver, that was the rpm you got. |
[06:38:00] | Gumby: | it is asking for the file to patch |
[06:38:00] | nuonguy: | And then, when I finally figured that out, and started running again, watching TV will hard hang X |
[06:38:00] | kormoc: | Gumby, try -p1 and -p2 and -p3 |
[06:38:00] | kormoc: | Gumby, I never remember what the magic p number is |
[06:38:00] | nuonguy: | kormoc: You think I'd have better luck just running the installer from nvidia.com? |
[06:38:00] | kormoc: | nuonguy, yup |

[06:39:00] | Gumby: | ah, I see the patches need to be in the kernel dir possibly |
[06:39:00] | kormoc: | hrm... not sure. I throw mine in there, so I never tried otherwise |
[06:40:00] | Gumby: | -p1 seems to work |
[06:40:00] | kormoc: | yeah, it's the 'patch level', it's sorta automagic that patch does |

[07:11:00] | ** kormoc nods ** | |

[08:15:00] | ** kormoc shugs ** | |
[08:15:00] | kormoc: | I would think so, but it all depends on how it's packaged |

[08:19:00] | nuonguy: | How you gonna find out whether your lvm issue is resolved? |
[08:20:00] | Gumby: | dunno yet :) |
[08:20:00] | Gumby: | I am first going to test the drives to see if get filesystem errors on any |
[08:20:00] | nuonguy: | filesystem errors on your lvm? |
[08:20:00] | nuonguy: | Are you serious? |
[08:20:00] | Gumby: | if after a couple weeks I see no errors on each drive I will rebuild the lvm |
[08:21:00] | nuonguy: | Oh man! |
[08:21:00] | Gumby: | s/lvm/volume |
[08:21:00] | kormoc: | Gumby, I would do a forced fsck overnight if I was you, btw. |
[08:21:00] | nuonguy: | I just build a big LVM setup a few weeks ago |
[08:21:00] | eskil (n=eskil@natint3.juniper.net) Quit (Read error: 110 (Connection timed out)) | |
[08:21:00] | nuonguy: | So, I ran for a coupla days, going smoothly |
[08:21:00] | Gumby: | kormoc: Ive already totalled the volume |
[08:21:00] | nuonguy: | Then, bam! Major filesystem corruption on my LVM pool |
[08:21:00] | kormoc: | nuonguy, it's a known issue with large filesystems on LVM. |
[08:21:00] | nuonguy: | I thought it was flakey drives |
[08:21:00] | nuonguy: | DamN!!!!!!!!!!!!! |
[08:21:00] | nuonguy: | Wish I'd known that! |
[08:22:00] | kormoc: | but it should be fixed in the newer kernels |
[08:22:00] | nuonguy: | I've been spending days (literally days at a stretch) running badblocks |
[08:22:00] | nuonguy: | ANd it found nothing! |
[08:22:00] | kormoc: | nuonguy, ext3? |
[08:22:00] | nuonguy: | On any of the drives! |
[08:22:00] | nuonguy: | yeah |
[08:22:00] | Gumby: | Ive run fsck already multiple times. each time it works for a few days and then start giving the errors I posted earlier. then I run fsck again and it fixes it all then works again for another few days etc. |
[08:22:00] | ** kormoc nod ** | |
[08:22:00] | kormoc: | s |
[08:22:00] | Gumby: | on and on |
[08:22:00] | nuonguy: | shit! |
[08:22:00] | nuonguy: | Wish I'd known about this! |
[08:22:00] | nuonguy: | What distro do you use? |
[08:23:00] | nuonguy: | I feel like such a moron now |
[08:23:00] | Gumby: | lol |
[08:23:00] | kormoc: | basically, what happens is the filesystem gets reported that a block exists outside of the array and trys to write to it and it fails, leaving the drive to seem damnaged, and lvm trys to recover it and it all goes to hell |
[08:23:00] | nuonguy: | Where's the avatar with a big L on the forehead? |
[08:23:00] | kormoc: | it's not a certain distro, it was a linux kernel issue :P |
[08:23:00] | nuonguy: | great |
[08:23:00] | Gumby: | I was using another volume before with reiserfs and the same drives. I never got these errors. But then the volume got corrupted during a power outtage |
[08:23:00] | kormoc: | but only with ext3 and lvm. |
[08:23:00] | nuonguy: | Well |
[08:23:00] | Gumby: | so maybe it is ext3 that is the problem |
[08:24:00] | kormoc: | Gumby, yeah, it is the combination of ext3 and lvm. |
[08:24:00] | nuonguy: | So do I have to wait for the 2.6.15 release before this gets fixed? |

[08:24:00] | ** nuonguy <= LOOOOOOSER!! ** | |
[08:24:00] | kormoc: | nuonguy, it should be fixed as of... 2.6.8 I beleive |
[08:24:00] | nuonguy: | What? |
[08:24:00] | nuonguy: | Then why all the patching, Gumby? |

[08:25:00] | nuonguy: | I'd assumed I was having flakey drive issues |

[08:25:00] | Gumby: | nuonguy: I just chose a vanilla 2.6.14.3 kernel. no patches |
[08:25:00] | nuonguy: | over 1TB |
[08:25:00] | kormoc: | ahh, yeah... |
[08:25:00] | nuonguy: | I took the drives out of a dumpster at work |
[08:25:00] | nuonguy: | Took my chances |
[08:26:00] | kormoc: | I have 320 gb lvm's that are perfectly fine, but someone reported that on a single 500 gb drive on lvm it was having issues |
[08:26:00] | nuonguy: | Figured I'd paid for that 'perk' by having this drive issue |
[08:26:00] | kormoc: | heh |
[08:26:00] | Gumby: | 1TB of storage from a dumpster? |
[08:26:00] | nuonguy: | Yeah |
[08:26:00] | Gumby: | where the heck do you go dumpster diving? |
[08:26:00] | nuonguy: | I work at a place where that's not that unual |

[08:32:00] | nuonguy: | and I gotta get some sleep |
[08:33:00] | nuonguy: | Gumby, are you going to run tune2fs and badblocks and stuff to see if your physical drives are ok? |
[08:33:00] | Gumby: | nuonguy: I sure am |
[08:33:00] | nuonguy: | Nothing ever turned up for me |
[08:35:00] | nuonguy: | I did tune2fs -C0 -c 1 so that fsck runs each time I reboot |

[10:24:00] | Dextris: | i have a problem between selectin either Hauppage WinTV-HVR 1300 (133e) or Hauppauge WinTV NOVA-T DVB-T (78e). Latest one is said to be terrestial-version, but does it still work with normal cable-plugin? or does it mean that terrestial is just add-on? |
[10:25:00] | Dextris: | and why is terrestial-version cheaper than cable-version? |
[10:27:00] | Juski: | Dextris: the HVR1300 isn't yet supported in Linux, so that kind of rules that one out for you |
[10:28:00] | Juski: | it's being worked on as we speak though ;) |
[10:28:00] | Dextris: | darn.. |
[10:28:00] | Tanthrix: | Is the PVR-150MCE supported by the stable drivers yet |
[10:28:00] | riksta (n=rick@213.121.151.210) Quit ("Leaving") | |
[10:28:00] | Dextris: | is any digital-HW-encoding card supported by linux yet? |
[10:29:00] | Juski: | I was under the impression it's now stable enough for lots of people to use |
[10:29:00] | Dextris: | and by the way, what is MCE? |
[10:29:00] | Tanthrix: | Well, I'm using it right now, and it's stable beyond this occasional audio cut out problem that I'm having. |
[10:29:00] | Juski: | and the more people who use it, the more chance they have of nailing all the problems |
[10:30:00] | Tanthrix: | And the one time it plain quit working on me with no changes of any kind. |
[10:30:00] | Juski: | MCE.. how've you not heard of that PoS? |
[10:30:00] | Juski: | ;) |
[10:30:00] | Tanthrix: | Just a regular PVR150 without the remote and what not. |
[10:30:00] | Dextris: | ouh :) |
[10:31:00] | Juski: | non MCE version comes with remote & IR blaster IIRC.. MCE version comes with no remote and FM tuner |
[10:31:00] | Dextris: | why does our local netshop at here in finland is trying to sell PVR-150MCE under digital-tv-car section? :D |
[10:31:00] | Tanthrix: | My god, it's actually true! Turning the computer off and/or unplugging it for 30 seconds actually does fix problems! |
[10:31:00] | Juski: | ask them, Dextris |
[10:31:00] | Tanthrix: | I just rebooted normally with no fix, but then tried the turn off / unplug and it works fine now. |
[10:32:00] | Dextris: | Juski: so, none digital-tv-card isnt supported by linux? |
[10:32:00] | Juski: | maybe the card just needed a proper full-on hard reset that the PCI reset doesn't give |
[10:33:00] | Juski: | Dextris: if you want DVB-T there are lots to choose from |
[10:33:00] | Dextris: | well, i dont want to use just antenna, i prefer cable as i have it |
[10:33:00] | Juski: | there are some PVR250 clones still available, but 150 drivers are getting better all the time |
[10:33:00] | Tanthrix: | Well, I figure that's the case, but I'm always skeptical of solutions like that. |
[10:33:00] | Tanthrix: | But now that I think about it, it was sphery that told me about it methinks, and he knows what he's talking about. |
[10:34:00] | Tanthrix: | Just too many gulliable people out there that buy into the correlation = causation argument. |
[10:34:00] | Tanthrix: | And it's for that reason we have homeopathic medicine ;) |
[10:34:00] | Juski: | Tanthrix: there's been talk of some registers on the card getting wrong values in them – which only a powerdown can fix (seemingly) |
[10:35:00] | Juski: | Hauppauge are working with the V4L developers for the HVR card drivers (!) |
[10:35:00] | Tanthrix: | Interesting. |
[10:35:00] | Juski: | and that includes the HVR1300 (DVB-T and analog hardware MPEG2 encoding) |

[10:37:00] | Tanthrix: | Er, not fix. |
[10:37:00] | Juski: | it might be better than having to reboot |
[10:37:00] | Juski: | rebooting is a Windows PoS way to fix things |
[10:38:00] | Tanthrix: | I'm just wondering if the latest drivers actually will be any better, and worth the trouble of installing. |
[10:38:00] | samborambo: | ok, new problem with MythDVD transcode.......can only transcode one title at a time |
[10:38:00] | Tanthrix: | As far as I can tell the problem only manifests itself after a reboot, so I just need to remember to do a full shutdown whenever I need to restart my system. |
[10:38:00] | Juski: | Tanthrix: in the case of the PVR150 they probably will be |

[10:47:00] | Juski: | it's ivtv's way of telling you to bin the bttv card & get another PVR card ;) |
[10:47:00] | Gumby: | lol |
[10:48:00] | Gumby: | and my bank account can turn around and tell ivtv to shove it up its own ass cause there is no way in hell the cash is coming out for a 4th tuner card |
[10:48:00] | NightMonkey (n=NightMon@pdpc/supporter/sustaining/NightMonkey) Quit (Client Quit) | |
[10:49:00] | Dextris: | what would you people recommend to buy if i'd like to set up PVR that would work stable? I'd like to toss myself intoa digital era because analog transmissions will end at at the end of year 2007.. so any idea to buy digital-tuner yet if they wont even work on linux? |
[10:49:00] | samborambo: | four cards? you watch that much tv? get outside and go for a run :P |
[10:49:00] | Juski: | I'm running 3 DVB-T tuners in my mythbackend |
[10:50:00] | Juski: | stable as a very big, very heavy rock |
[10:50:00] | Dextris: | should i just get pvr-150 insted of digital-tuner? |
[10:50:00] | Juski: | in 12 months I've only ever needed to power it down or reboot for system maintenance (cleaning fans, changing CPU HSF), and vacuuming behind it |
[10:51:00] | Tanthrix: | A pvr-150 is pretty cheap and works pretty damn well once you figure it out. |
[10:51:00] | Juski: | Dextris: you said it yourself. Analogue transmissions are going down in 2007 |
[10:51:00] | Tanthrix: | I've satisfied with mine. |
[10:51:00] | samborambo (n=samboram@219-89-6-209.dialup.xtra.co.nz) Quit ("Leaving") | |
[10:52:00] | Juski: | with DVB, there's no digitizing of video and audio to be done.. you just take the mpeg stream from the datastream they transmit and whack it down onto your HDD |
[10:52:00] | Gumby: | looks like the kernels tveeprom works with bttv no problem. Its just ivtv's tveeprom that is causing the issues |
[10:52:00] | Dextris: | Juski: yes, and i'd be happier with better quality of digital-tv. |
[10:52:00] | Juski: | I would never say it's better quality |
[10:52:00] | Dextris: | Juski: why? |
[10:52:00] | Juski: | it certainly isn't here in the UK |
[10:52:00] | Dextris: | :D |
[10:52:00] | Tanthrix: | Thanks for the help. I'm off |

[10:53:00] | Juski: | Digital Video Broadcasting – Terrestrial |
[10:53:00] | Juski: | looks great on most things on most channels, most of the time |
[10:54:00] | Juski: | but every now & then... say on a music show with lots of moving lights ... it looks like frickin Lego |
[10:54:00] | Dextris: | and DVB-C = CABLE ? |
[10:54:00] | Juski: | yep |
[10:55:00] | Juski: | there've been a few users of Finnish DVB-C in here |
[10:55:00] | Dextris: | and if i'd like to get PVR working i should just satisfy with DVB-T? |
[10:55:00] | Juski: | you could do |
[10:55:00] | Juski: | DVB-C will be a little bit more effort, but that'll work aswell probably |
[10:56:00] | Dextris: | and what does 'little bit more effort' mean? like coding a few hundreds of code or just doin some extra configuration? |
[10:57:00] | walto (n=walto@vaag.demon.nl) Quit (Read error: 113 (No route to host)) | |

[10:58:00] | Dextris: | ok, but they work stable on linux at the time? |
[10:58:00] | Juski: | yes |
[10:58:00] | Dextris: | cool :) |
[10:58:00] | Juski: | the DVB drivers are very mature now |
[10:58:00] | Juski: | helps when Conexant make datasheets available for the chips ;) |
[11:02:00] | Dextris: | does DVB cards really require 1.5Ghz CPU for MPEG2-decoding and 2.8Ghz for analog as it is said on hauppages homepage? and why does analog cards work with just 733Mhz CPU? |
[11:02:00] | Juski: | Dextris: I was running my frontend on an Athlon 800 for a few months |
[11:03:00] | Dextris: | well, i'm going to have Duron 600 at first |
[11:03:00] | Juski: | it worked really well, but it wasn't fast on channel changing |
[11:03:00] | Juski: | you'll need a nvidia card and use xvmc then |
[11:03:00] | Dextris: | i only have matrox-cards :/ |

[11:03:00] | Juski: | hi jono |
[11:03:00] | jono: | heya Juski :) |
[11:04:00] | Juski: | btw did anyone catch the tsunami documentary last night? |
[11:04:00] | jono: | Juski, any idea how I can reduce flicker in tv? |
[11:04:00] | Juski: | bloody hell! actual camcorder footage of it all going off... scary |
[11:04:00] | Juski: | jono: what kinda graphics card you got? |
[11:05:00] | jono: | Juski, ATI Radeon X800 |
[11:05:00] | Juski: | are we talking about interlace flicker now.. like there's a horizontal line & it seems to be wobbling? |
[11:05:00] | jono: | it just looks like a wave of flicker runs across the screen |
[11:05:00] | Juski: | hmmm... |
[11:05:00] | jono: | I tried all of the de-interlace options and none worked |
[11:05:00] | Juski: | a wave? |
[11:06:00] | jono: | yeah, the flicker move from one side of the screen to the other |
[11:06:00] | jono: | I notice it particularly on solid blocks of colour in shows, such as a background |
[11:06:00] | Juski: | probably PSU noise |
[11:06:00] | ivor: | how's your tv connected? |
[11:06:00] | jono: | ivor, s-video |
[11:07:00] | Juski: | it's not flicker, or due to interlacing |
[11:07:00] | Juski: | could be a shitty video buffer on the ATI card too |
[11:07:00] | jono: | so what is interlacing? |
[11:07:00] | Juski: | gfx card manufactrers only ever use cheap crap |
[11:07:00] | ivor: | is it a "grainy" flicker? how close together is the "flicker". |
[11:08:00] | jono: | ivor, it does sem a bit grainy |
[11:08:00] | ivor: | is is straight vertical bands or diagonal. |
[11:08:00] | ivor: | (wondering if it's just composite dot-drawl) |
[11:08:00] | jono: | I think it is diagonal, but I am not in front of the machine now |
[11:08:00] | jono: | ivor, what's that? |
[11:08:00] | ivor: | do you just see it on solid graphics or on normal video. |
[11:08:00] | Juski: | interlacing is the act of effectively doubling the resolution without actually increasing it.. by showing alternate fields of 'interlaced' picture |
[11:09:00] | Juski: | I thought dot crawl was only obvious on the edges of things |
[11:09:00] | ivor: | Juski: you can see it as rippling grain on solid blocks of colour too. |
[11:09:00] | Juski: | ahhh |
[11:09:00] | jono: | ivor, it see it in the tv video – I don't think there is flicker in the myth menus |
[11:09:00] | Juski: | I've got a tiny bit of that on my tv out aswell |
[11:10:00] | Juski: | but my dvd player did it, so I just assumed it was the telly's fault |
[11:10:00] | Juski: | (hence my plan to try VGA-RGB soon) |
[11:10:00] | jono: | any suggestions as to howI prevent this? |
[11:10:00] | ivor: | jono: its either electrical interference from something in your machine... or its a poor quality s-video out. |
[11:11:00] | Juski: | might be a grounding issue |
[11:11:00] | ivor: | jono: what sort of video card is it? |
[11:11:00] | jono: | ivor, ATI Radeon X800 |
[11:11:00] | jono: | its weird cause the other day I didnt have this flicker, it really came on last nigth |
[11:12:00] | jono: | ivor, if I remember right, I also get the flicker on my monitor, so its probably not the s-video |
[11:12:00] | jono: | what kind of things cause interference? I doubt its my PSU as I bought an expensive quiet PSU that should not cause interference |
[11:13:00] | ivor: | strange that you'd get the same flicker on a monitor since they're different frequencies. |
[11:13:00] | Juski: | jono: do you have speed controlled fans? |
[11:13:00] | jono: | Juski, not usre |
[11:13:00] | ivor: | have you changed anything? like running the machine without the case on or anything like that? |
[11:14:00] | Juski: | they can be a culprit |
[11:14:00] | Juski: | PCs can have the sides on?! |
[11:14:00] | Juski: | ;) |
[11:14:00] | jono: | ivor, nope, it was running as normal |
[11:15:00] | jono: | Juski, how do I tell if I have speed controlled fans? |
[11:15:00] | Juski: | what kind of case is it? |
[11:15:00] | jono: | Silverstone LC-14M |
[11:15:00] | Juski: | hmmm |
[11:15:00] | Juski: | it might still be the fans causing the interference |
[11:15:00] | Juski: | what motherboard? some motherboards have smart fan control |
[11:16:00] | jono: | actually that may make sense, the machine was on a long time last night and it flickered after a few hours of use |
[11:16:00] | Juski: | there ya go |
[11:16:00] | ivor: | aha. |
[11:16:00] | jono: | don't know off hnad (I am work), I can check tonight though |
[11:16:00] | Juski: | probably easily fixed, too |
[11:16:00] | jono: | I can check tonight if it flickers when I first turn it on, if it doesnt, then I know its the fans |
[11:17:00] | Juski: | my spare machine wipes out medium wave radio.. just not got round to buying a new PSU for it yet |
[11:17:00] | jono: | Juski, really? how is it fixed? |
[11:17:00] | ivor: | find the fan and put a different one in. |
[11:17:00] | Juski: | jono: some capacitors and/or a big lump of ferrite |
[11:17:00] | ivor: | or get one with a supressor in the cable |

[13:34:00] | laga: | rjune: a lovely one, though ;) |
[13:34:00] | Juski: | whizzing 64MB from a USB2.0 device shouldn't take long |
[13:37:00] | Juski: | that sounds like a really cool idea.. knoppmyth (kindof) on a stick :) |
[13:38:00] | laga: | what? greyfoxx' project? |
[13:38:00] | Juski: | ok.. maybe knoppmyth isn't a good one to compare it to |
[13:38:00] | Juski: | myth on a stick ;) |
[13:39:00] | laga: | hehe, yep. he called it mythslax, iirc |
[13:39:00] | GreyFoxx: | Slaxware on a USBStick or CDrom |
[13:39:00] | GreyFoxx: | slax is mini distro based on Slackware |
[13:39:00] | GreyFoxx: | laga: I think I'm gonna wait and just release it when 0.19 is out(hopefully end of Dec) |
[13:39:00] | Juski: | ahhh |
[13:40:00] | GreyFoxx: | Juski: Currently it's 156M or so |
[13:40:00] | laga: | GreyFoxx: spiffy :) |
[13:40:00] | laga: | i wonder how long i will be able to stay on 0.19 before i will want to upgrade to SVN again *sigh* |
[13:40:00] | GreyFoxx: | full mythfrontend/backend. Intended as a frontend but nothing stopping it from being a master ort slave backend |
[13:40:00] | GreyFoxx: | heh |

[13:45:00] | Juski: | no.. was just a general comment |
[13:45:00] | otwin: | i don't think pxe-booting is much slower booting than anything else |
[13:45:00] | GreyFoxx: | ahh |
[13:46:00] | Juski: | really, otwin? |
[13:46:00] | otwin: | CD's make noise ;-) |
[13:46:00] | ivor: | GreyFoxx: still booting? blimey. |
[13:46:00] | GreyFoxx: | mythslax will be distributed as an ISO that can either be booted off a CD or placed on a usb stick |
[13:46:00] | rjune: | we get start to login on our terms in about 30s |
[13:46:00] | GreyFoxx: | there boottime was around 70–80 seconds |
[13:46:00] | Juski: | takes my minimyth about a minute to fully load |
[13:46:00] | GreyFoxx: | including X+myth launch |
[13:46:00] | otwin: | the problem is not transfer |
[13:46:00] | Juski: | what is it? uncramming it? |
[13:46:00] | ivor: | I'm at 45secs at the moment. poweron to menu. :) |
[13:47:00] | otwin: | it's more initializing, mounting and so on |
[13:47:00] | GreyFoxx: | I'm also testing this on an old slow box which I think only has USB 1 |
[13:47:00] | Kelerion: | GreyFoxx: you been working on this a while? |
[13:48:00] | GreyFoxx: | Kelerion: the bootable usb key thing? Spent a couple weeks getting it ready a couple months ago. Then didn't touch it til last night when I started updating the modules for released along with myth 0.19 |
[13:49:00] | GreyFoxx: | and by a couple weeks I mean an hour here or there spread over a couple weeks |
[13:49:00] | Kelerion: | sorry.. meant mythslax in general |
[13:49:00] | GreyFoxx: | I started it in Aug/Sept. Just got life busy after |
[13:49:00] | Kelerion: | "This site will be filled in hopefully this weekend. – GreyFoxx, Aug 12, 2005".. it happens to us all.. lol |
[13:49:00] | GreyFoxx: | but I plan to release when 0.19 comes out. |

[13:51:00] | Kelerion: | some time next year.. I'm planning on giving the linuxbios project a go.. with either a diskless frontend or a usbkey one.. should be a fun "project" |
[13:51:00] | laga: | Kelerion: would be cool if you could fit mythfrontend + X into the eeprom ;) |
[13:52:00] | Juski: | yeh like _that's_ gonna be possible |
[13:52:00] | GreyFoxx: | All of my frontends are diskless. But a friend of mine wanted to go diskless without setting up the dhcp/tftp/etc servers. And I came accross slax and fel it would be perfect |
[13:52:00] | Kelerion: | lol.. I think that might be impossible.. lol |
[13:52:00] | laga: | i really need to start working on my debian+mythtv+nfsroot howto. should be fun. |

[13:54:00] | Kelerion: | doesn't this sound cool.. from the linux bios homepage: |
[13:54:00] | Kelerion: | Note that, on newer systems, there need be no moving parts at all. At LANL, we are building a new 'no moving parts' 16-node cluster to demonstrate this capability. The cluster will fit in a toolbox, run from a battery, boot in 10 seconds, and be controlled from your laptop (which, sadly, will still have a few moving parts). |
[13:54:00] | Juski: | Kelerion: it's a great idea in theory |
[13:56:00] | Kelerion: | I keep scouring ebay every couple of months for people setting job-lots of old pc's.. am determined one of these days to build myself a cluster.. just to say I've done it.. lol |

[14:14:00] | eidolon: | mornin |
[14:14:00] | eidolon: | so is anyone using hte mythtv 'phone' interface? i'm looking for some information on it. |
[14:22:00] | laga: | you'd better ask a more specific question. |
[14:22:00] | laga: | anyways, i'm off. cya later. |
[14:25:00] | eidolon: | hah. well. i'm doing -some- VOIP stuff with another provider, so i'm curious what voip system mythtv is using – i just selected it on the menu for giggles, and saw a pair of open windows. does the VOIP system in mythtv 'work' assuming i get a terminated number from a proviuder, and secondly, the two 'windows' on the display -a re they for video? |
[14:28:00] | Kelerion: | they're for webcam's |
[14:29:00] | otwin: | eidolon: i once tried it out for fun – i was able to call my voip number from my cell phone and mythphone could pick up the phone. did not have to modify anything on my firewall or do any NAT. that is all i can tell you |
[14:30:00] | Kelerion: | and about the same experience here |
[14:30:00] | eidolon: | Kelerion: *nod* that was my question. if i can build a mythbox with a webcam for a couple hundred bucks, that's a videophone, pure and simple. |
[14:30:00] | eidolon: | in my ongoing explorations, I shall attempt this :) |
[14:31:00] | ** eidolon is writing another article for the blog now about thejoy that is joystickmenurc ** | |
[14:32:00] | ** GreyFoxx ponders updating ivtv hrm ** | |
[14:32:00] | ** Xenna wonders when ivtv is going to support his setup... ** | |
[14:33:00] | eidolon: | random question du jour. Can i screenshot mythtv? other than pointing my digicam at it and watching hte pretty moire patterns? |
[14:33:00] | rjune: | on fedora you just hit the print screen button |
[14:34:00] | GreyFoxx: | Xenna: What setup is that ? |
[14:34:00] | Xenna: | PVR500 + PVR350 |
[14:34:00] | Xenna: | On an MSI NEO2 motherboard |
[14:34:00] | GreyFoxx: | eidolon: From a shell witrh theDISPLAY variable set you can use the import command to grab the X screen |
[14:34:00] | GreyFoxx: | And it doesn't support those card together now ? |
[14:34:00] | eidolon: | ah, i wasn't sure if mythtv was in the framebuffer outside of X or not. |
[14:35:00] | Xenna: | But according to Hans th eproblems is probably in the i2c kernel stuff |
[14:35:00] | GreyFoxx: | ahhh |
[14:35:00] | GreyFoxx: | eidolon: Myth's display is on an X controlled screen, assuming you are not referring to screenshots of playing video |
[14:35:00] | GreyFoxx: | that's a different story |
[14:35:00] | Xenna: | cards work great on their own, but when I put them in together they both fail in interesting ways |
[14:36:00] | eidolon: | *nod* i -htought- there was a 'well, sorta' aspect here. for now i just want to grab the main screen. |
[14:36:00] | GreyFoxx: | then a simple "import -window root file.jpg" would do it assuming DISPLAY is pointing to the right screen |
[14:37:00] | Xenna: | Hans Verkuyl and me are currently swapping patches and logfiles on a regular basis :( |
[14:37:00] | GreyFoxx: | Fun |
[14:37:00] | eidolon: | GreyFoxx: how savvy are you on xmame settings? i've hit a problem where half my games work, and half don't...

[17:44:00] | kormoc: | hence setting cc for just the echo statement |
[17:44:00] | eidolon: | sure, that's still in the same shell instance. but i betcha that make is gonna shell out at some point to, say, start the compile :) |
[17:44:00] | kormoc: | as it would for the make statement |
[17:44:00] | nuonguy: | I thought that a line like "FOO=BAR make" would set the env variable FOO to BAR and then invoke make with that var set" |

[17:45:00] | nuonguy: | The question is whetner Make's precedence will use the environment variable or the built-in one |
[17:45:00] | eidolon: | because there are times when the new shell instance won't inherit – like buried in the middle of a make or another shells cript or something. |

[17:46:00] | eidolon: | no, but... okay, what i'm saying here is... it's always a good idea to export your vars before running another app. that guarantees the var will be set in all children. |
[17:46:00] | ** kormoc ponders. ** | |
[17:46:00] | nuonguy: | The other way to do it is make FOO=BAR |
[17:46:00] | eidolon: | that's different |
[17:46:00] | eidolon: | that's setting a -make- variable |
[17:46:00] | nuonguy: | It's a precedence |
[17:46:00] | eidolon: | no, they're totally different. |
[17:46:00] | kormoc: | I think one of the issues is if he leaves CC="" blank, all other makes he does in that shell will be foobared too, leading to many more problems. |
[17:46:00] | ** kormoc shrugs ** | |
[17:46:00] | nuonguy: | Make first uses the command line, then it'll check the environment variable, then it'll use the defaults |

[18:43:00] | Juski: | _willcooke_: what sort of problems? |
[18:44:00] | ol_schoola: | ...and noticed it calls mod_env for PATH INFO |
[18:44:00] | _willcooke_: | Hey Juski, Are you always here?! ;) Well, I think I've worked out why I cant watch live tv. It would seem that my channels aren't being populated properly. |
[18:44:00] | ol_schoola: | http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/mythtv/ . . . _env;#164553 has the answer but I have the old configuration path |
[18:45:00] | Kelerion: | just finished listening to the lugradio review of myth.. got a nice review |
[18:45:00] | Juski: | _willcooke_: step 1... do a scan (dvb util) and make a channels.conf.. Step2: look in channels.conf & make a note of some details from the 1st channel. Step3: go into mythtv-setup and do a channel scan, but enter the initial tuning parameters from the channels.conf you took notes from rather than do a complete scan ... that _should_ get you everything |
[18:46:00] | Juski: | I tend to lurk a lot ;) |
[18:46:00] | _willcooke_: | Juski, I got that going yesterday, but I've wiped it all and started again. I'll give it a go. One thing I've noticed is that I can't do a channel scan until I've set up a video source, is that normal? |
[18:47:00] | Juski: | yes |
[18:47:00] | Juski: | the annoying bit is that you technically don't even need a 'video source' when you have DVB |
[18:47:00] | _willcooke_: | Ah, OK. Right, I'm doing a tv_grab_uk_rt with only one channel set, so it will do it quickly, just waiting for that to finish..... |
[18:47:00] | _willcooke_: | ok, that's done. |
[18:47:00] | Juski: | infact I skipped that part of the setup, and I'm getting guide data from the on-air stuff |
[18:48:00] | ol_schoola is now known as ol-schoola_ | |
[18:48:00] | Juski: | _willcooke_: it _should_ work like this: populate your channels using the mythtv-setup DVB scanner |
[18:48:00] | _willcooke_: | Juski, ahhhhhhh! Good even better. I've download and compiled tv_grab_dvb and got it running, how to I integrate that with myth. |
[18:48:00] | Juski: | you don't need that with 0.18 |
[18:49:00] | _willcooke_: | Juski, I'm using the Breezy packages, let me find what version this is... |
[18:49:00] | Juski: | I installed 0.18 from breezy on Thursday of last week |
[18:50:00] | _willcooke_: | Ah, ok. Then I should be golden. tv_grab_dvb doesnt appear in my list of grabbers, should it? |
[18:50:00] | Juski: | mythtv will automatically populate the programguide from DVB EIT itself as a matter of course (so long as a DVB tuner is active) |
[18:51:00] | Juski: | no, tv_grab_dvb shouldn't appear in the list of grabbers |
[18:51:00] | _willcooke_: | Juski, right hold on a sec, I'll change the card set up so that it's always active... |
[18:51:00] | Juski: | tv_grab_uk_rt showed up and I didn't even have xmltv installed (lol) |
[18:52:00] | _willcooke_: | Juski, Can you step me through this, I'll run setup again and delete the cards and the channels. |
[18:52:00] | Juski: | no probs |
[18:52:00] | _willcooke_: | Juski, OK, deleted cards and channels. |
[18:52:00] | _willcooke_: | Juski, 1. General.... |
[18:53:00] | Juski: | shouldn't need to go in there.. unless you've not already had it working |
[18:53:00] | _willcooke_: | IP address correct, dir's all ok, everything else ok |
[18:53:00] | Juski: | cool |
[18:53:00] | _willcooke_: | 2. Capture cards. |
[18:53:00] | Juski: | 2. capture cards |
[18:53:00] | _willcooke_: | New cap card |
[18:54:00] | Juski: | aye. select your card |
[18:54:00] | _willcooke_: | OK, card 0, it's detected the type (I'll leave the other card for now) |
[18:54:00] | Juski: | then go advanced... use TS recording |
[18:54:00] | Juski: | then erm.. video sources |
[18:54:00] | kahuna_: | just curious, why TS? |
[18:55:00] | Juski: | cures a number of audio anomalies we UK users sometimes get |
[18:55:00] | kahuna_: | I see. |
[18:55:00] | _willcooke_: | OK, vid sources, --> new source |
[18:55:00] | Juski: | oh and also select 'use hardware decoder'.. this also helps |

[18:56:00] | _willcooke_: | OK, thats sat there at 50% I need to go back and tell it about the chans now? |
[18:56:00] | Juski: | _willcooke_: it doesn't matter – but changes something about how the driver deals with the card – also helps with audio probs allegedly |
[18:56:00] | Juski: | will – press ALT TAB |
[18:57:00] | _willcooke_: | done, I've told it I want BBC 1 and nothing else, for now anyway.... |
[18:57:00] | Juski: | right.. so it'll be like north-west.bbc1.bbc.co.uk |
[18:57:00] | ol-schoola_ is now known as ol-schoola | |
[18:58:00] | _willcooke_: | something like that, so now to chan edit? |
[18:58:00] | Juski: | so now go in & do a scan |
[18:58:00] | _willcooke_: | I cant select scan for channels |
[18:59:00] | Juski: | ahh you've not linked the video source to the capture card yet ;) |
[18:59:00] | _willcooke_: | AHHHH! |
[19:00:00] | _willcooke_: | Sorted, OK, doing a scan |
[19:00:00] | Juski: | complete scan? |
[19:00:00] | _willcooke_: | this will take a few mins |
[19:00:00] | _willcooke_: | yeah, complete |

[19:02:00] | Juski: | now go into the channel editor |
[19:03:00] | _willcooke_: | ok, I can see them there, and a few dodgy ones, like the beeb interactive stuff |
[19:03:00] | Juski: | and set each channel to have an xmltv id |
[19:03:00] | Juski: | initially, just do bbc1 |
[19:04:00] | Juski: | then quit out of the setup program and do mythfilldatabase |
[19:04:00] | _willcooke_: | is that the bbc1.bbc.co.uk stuff? |
[19:04:00] | Juski: | I remember you saying you don't want to use the onair guide |
[19:04:00] | Juski: | yes |
[19:04:00] | _willcooke_: | Well, after you said the RT one was a bit weighty, I think I'd prefer the dvb one. |
[19:05:00] | Juski: | you can find a list of all the xmltv IDs in the tv_grab_uk_rt directory (I think it lives in /usr/share/xmltv/tv_grab_uk_rt) |
[19:05:00] | Juski: | one thing tho – the RT guide has star ratings for films – very handy |
[19:05:00] | Juski: | and it's 2 weeks' worth of data |
[19:05:00] | Juski: | on-air is just 7 |
[19:05:00] | Juski: | (if you're lucky) |
[19:06:00] | kahuna_: | I noticed that the ratings are very strict though. Lots of 1 and 2 star movies |
[19:06:00] | _willcooke_: | Hmmmm, let's go for the RT one for now |
[19:06:00] | _willcooke_: | ok, hold on a sec, just making sure I got the right xmltv id |
[19:06:00] | Juski: | they have high standards ;) |

[19:18:00] | Juski: | so now, Will.. you need the other XMLTVIDs for the rest of the channels, and the grabber needs to know it has to grab them |
[19:18:00] | Juski: | ? |
[19:18:00] | _willcooke_: | Ah, up and down to change channels! |
[19:18:00] | Juski: | but you'll only have guide data for bbc1 right? |
[19:19:00] | _willcooke_: | I think that was my main problem, I didnt set those xmltv ids! |
[19:19:00] | _willcooke_: | Juski, Are you going to LUGradio live next year? If so, then I owe you a shed load of beer! |
[19:19:00] | Juski: | so have a peek in the file called chanids within the tv_grab_uk_rt directory – all the XMLTV IDs are there |
[19:20:00] | _willcooke_: | Ooo, Top Gear! |
[19:20:00] | _willcooke_: | Juski, will do, that'll keep me busy for a few hours! |
[19:20:00] | Juski: | and to save you doing mythtv-setup again, you can edit the <whatever>.conf file in your ~/.mythtv directory |
[19:20:00] | Juski: | where <whatever> is the name of the video source you used |
[19:20:00] | _willcooke_: | Will do |
[19:20:00] | Juski: | since you're buying, I'm GOING! |
[19:20:00] | _willcooke_: | I think I left the name blank! Ooops! |

[19:21:00] | _willcooke_: | Juski, Sweet! I'll see if I can convince Jono or one of the other boys to put us up, I think Jono owes you a few as well?! |
[19:21:00] | Juski: | sweeten the deal why don'tcha ...hehehh |
[19:21:00] | Juski: | I don't mind paying board for a night – don't sweat it |
[19:22:00] | _willcooke_: | No big LUG-love-in then! ;) |
[19:22:00] | Juski: | if jono can swing a discount that'd be sweet tho |
[19:23:00] | _willcooke_: | Juski, I would think he'd let you in free.. they normally do this thing that if you can think of a good reason not to pay, you dont have to. |
[19:23:00] | dennis_p: | I have a mysql.txt file should I change localhost or something? |
[19:23:00] | Juski: | dennis_p: everything you need to know is in that howto |
[19:23:00] | _willcooke_: | dennis_p, try setting it to your actualy IP address, or run mythtv-setup again, it should ask you to set the database connections up again |
[19:23:00] | Juski: | I'm already down as going with a mythtv box anyway Will :) |
[19:24:00] | _willcooke_: | dennis_p, however, bear in mind I've been using myth for approx 5 mins |
[19:24:00] | _willcooke_: | Juski, Excellent! |

[19:26:00] | Juski: | not bad eh will... try mythfrontend & watch some telly though |
[19:27:00] | will__: | I have a hardware question about harddrives. I am trying to find a new harddrive for a workstation, and I came across the Maxtor QuickView series. They say they are "designed for PVR", however I don't see how they're different than normal PC drives. I'm skeptical because the 100gb QuickView drive is in the price range of 80gb PC drives. What's the difference? |
[19:27:00] | Juski: | will__: probably cache optimisation |
[19:28:00] | will__: | designed for reading large continuous files? |
[19:28:00] | Juski: | basically |
[19:28:00] | will__: | instead of more random access? |

[19:29:00] | _willcooke_: | Nah mate, I was doing battle with this until about mid night |

[20:14:00] | GreyFoxx: | _sixi|1b: You have to load up Video Manager(under mythvideo) and then for each video try to pull in the imdb data. It wont doing it automatically |
[20:14:00] | laga: | _sixi|1b: :) look for the video manager. choose a file there and hit "m", that's how it works me things |
[20:14:00] | laga: | thinks* |
[20:14:00] | GreyFoxx: | and if the search can't find it you can enter the imdb id number |

[20:46:00] | kormoc: | StefanD, stable ivtv is |
[20:46:00] | kormoc: | StefanD, ivtv .4.x is the stable branch, .5.x is the dev branch |
[20:46:00] | kahuna_: | ivtv scares me. They keep rewriting the code. |
[20:46:00] | Chutt: | they're not rewriting anything |
[20:46:00] | kormoc: | the code reorginazation is a good thing imho. |
[20:47:00] | StefanD: | well i guess i'll have to wait a while then. But i'm having ivtv problems and i would try anything |
[20:47:00] | kormoc: | StefanD, with .4.x? |
[20:47:00] | kahuna_: | Chutt: Haven't you looked at the .5.x release compared to the .4.x? Complete overhaul |
[20:47:00] | StefanD: | yes |
[20:47:00] | kormoc: | kahuna_, ooh? most of the work was removing the tuner and other assorted modules and back porting the changes to the v4l components. |
[20:47:00] | Chutt: | uh |
[20:47:00] | StefanD: | every 25–30 seconds the sound stutters, and the picture makes a little jump |
[20:48:00] | Chutt: | all they're doing is moving stuff from ivtv into the kernel. |
[20:48:00] | Chutt: | it's not a 'complete overhaul' |
[20:48:00] | Chutt: | no more duplicate modules |
[20:48:00] | kormoc: | kahuna_, the tuner module and others came from the kernel, and were only included to get them stable with the 150/500 and now it's getting back ported. |
[20:48:00] | kahuna_: | Well I see that they have a different system for initializing the i2c components but that must just be because they moved the stuff to the kernel |
[20:49:00] | sap: | hi guys, i'm trying to get my nova-t working with mythtv. the drivers seem to be installed ok since i can see tv external to mythtv using scan tzap and mplayer. |

[22:31:00] | chris86wm: | USA-louisiana |
[22:31:00] | dennis_p: | I think tv guide gets collected via internet and matched to station nmae so if you can see it via cable or sat it knows when to record |
