[06:58:00] ** cesman thinks cwsmith is just ignoring this questions.... **

[06:59:00] Ediehow: k
[06:59:00] cwsmith: and the remote from ati would help

[07:00:00] Ediehow: no fith
[07:00:00] Ediehow: fitz
[07:01:00] kormoc: lirc is a kernel module
[07:01:00] Fitzsimmons: oh really
[07:01:00] Ediehow: for me, it just needs access to serial port
[07:01:00] Ediehow: it is?
[07:01:00] Fitzsimmons: ah right
[07:01:00] cwsmith: ya i used lirc on my main box :)
[07:01:00] kormoc: sorta
[07:01:00] Fitzsimmons: good point
[07:01:00] cwsmith: which has a pvr350 which was really easy to set up :)
[07:01:00] Ediehow: i don't have an lirc module loaded
[07:01:00] kormoc: depends on which part of lirc you are using
[07:01:00] Ediehow: or even an lirc module compiled
[07:01:00] Fitzsimmons: I on the other hand need a few modules since I've got my receiver on a tuner card
[07:01:00] Ediehow: ok, let me go to 7676 real quick
[07:01:00] Ediehow: brb

[07:07:00] kormoc: where'd you get myth?
[07:07:00] Ediehow: maybe it's cuz i enabled the opengl thing too
[07:07:00] Ediehow: repos, i've been using it for quite some time
[07:07:00] Ediehow: just not with xvmc
[07:07:00] kormoc: what opengl thing?
[07:07:00] Ediehow: the setting
[07:07:00] Ediehow: on the same page
[07:07:00] kormoc: what setting?
[07:07:00] Ediehow: sync
[07:07:00] Ediehow: http://pastebin.com/479962

[07:08:00] Cardoe: hey kormoc
[07:08:00] Cardoe: did you test out that ebuild?
[07:08:00] kormoc: Cardoe, I certainly did
[07:08:00] Cardoe: did it work?
[07:08:00] Cardoe: I literally just drove back to my apartment.
[07:08:00] Ediehow: i wonder why it keeps core dumping
[07:08:00] Cardoe: Just gonna unpack some stuff and test it out myself.
[07:09:00] kormoc: Cardoe, there's a small issue with the backend not accepting connections from the frontend when started via the init.d script, and I havn't been able to track down why yet, but start it manually, and it's been working fine
[07:09:00] Cardoe: hrm
[07:09:00] kormoc: Ediehow, glxinfo | grep -i direct
[07:09:00] Cardoe: so some change to the initscript isn't good.
[07:10:00] Cardoe: kormoc: it no longer runs as root
[07:10:00] Ediehow: :O
[07:10:00] Cardoe: it runs as mythtv
[07:10:00] kormoc: Ediehow, it does say something about direct rendering: yes, right?
[07:10:00] kormoc: Cardoe, hrm.
[07:10:00] Ediehow: http://pastebin.com/479962
[07:12:00] kormoc: Cardoe, yeah, the backend shuts down right away via the init.d script
[07:12:00] Cardoe: ok
[07:12:00] Cardoe: I'll emerge it and tinker with the script
[07:13:00] Ediehow: kormoc: any ideas?
[07:15:00] kormoc: Ediehow, so direct rendering is enabled?
[07:16:00] Ediehow: you mean in xorg.conf?
[07:16:00] kormoc: Ediehow, no, in glxinfo
[07:17:00] kormoc: Cardoe, I'm wondering if it requres a shell
[07:17:00] Ediehow: http://pastebin.com/479965
[07:17:00] kormoc: that's fine
[07:18:00] Ediehow: :O
[07:18:00] kormoc: dmesg shows anything odd?
[07:19:00] Ediehow: you mean after i run mythtv?
[07:20:00] Ediehow: i really hope the multitasking problems are gone:O
[07:20:00] Ediehow: that's specifically why I bought the nvidia card
[07:20:00] Ediehow: and replaced my radeon 9600se
[07:20:00] Moodles: anyone familiar with tzap? I'm running it on a tv station, signal says 4000 to 4d00 and snr is 4b00 to 5700.. does this mean strong reception?

[07:24:00] kormoc: and with XVMC you are getitng core dumps
[07:24:00] Ediehow: kormoc: i told you why that was
[07:25:00] Ediehow: and i was told repeatedly in this channel that was the reason why
[07:25:00] Ediehow: because the ati driver did not have hardware decoding in linux
[07:25:00] kormoc: uh huh
[07:25:00] Ediehow: uh huh what?
[07:25:00] kormoc: and for some reason, your distro has something foobared to prevent nvidia's XMVC working
[07:25:00] Ediehow: where is this "and?" coming from?
[07:26:00] Cardoe: Ediehow: what nvidia card do you have/
[07:26:00] kormoc: Cardoe, 6200
[07:26:00] Ediehow: is fedora the reason ati does not have hardware decoding in linux?
[07:26:00] kormoc: no
[07:26:00] kormoc: ATI has no hardware decoding under any distro
[07:26:00] Ediehow: because that apparently was my problem before, from what everyone said
[07:26:00] Cardoe: Ediehow: are you using binary nvidia drivers?
[07:26:00] Ediehow: yes
[07:26:00] Ediehow: 7676
[07:26:00] Cardoe: try a different version
[07:26:00] Cardoe: newer or older
[07:26:00] Ediehow: the latest do not work with xvmc
[07:26:00] kormoc: Cardoe, yes, and I made him drop to 7676 after the 8xxx ones caused issues
[07:27:00] Ediehow: apparently
[07:27:00] kormoc: Ediehow, you can try with the 8176 ones
[07:27:00] kormoc: Ediehow, they work, as long as you disable opengl vsync
[07:27:00] Ediehow: ok
[07:27:00] Ediehow: 78 introduced xvmc problems?
[07:28:00] kormoc: yeah, some people have reported so, aye
[07:28:00] Ediehow: k
[07:28:00] kormoc: 76 introduced XV vsync issues, which XVMC is a part of XV, so that's why 7676 is recommended
[07:29:00] Ediehow: isn't there some way to get more information as to why it's segfaulting?
[07:29:00] kormoc: gdb

[07:32:00] Ediehow: well, i had the 74 drivers installed
[07:32:00] Ediehow: then upgraded to 78
[07:32:00] Ediehow: then down to 76
[07:32:00] Ediehow: is there something else i can test xvmc with?
[07:32:00] Ediehow: totem? mplayer?
[07:33:00] kormoc: mplayer with a mpeg-2 file will
[07:33:00] Ediehow: ok, totem says it supports the xvmc driver

[07:33:00] Ediehow: ok

[07:38:00] kormoc: sure
[07:38:00] kormoc: could be
[07:39:00] Ediehow: it says totem can use xvmc driver
[07:39:00] Ediehow: i wonder how i say to use that
[07:39:00] Ediehow: not in prefs, i see
[07:41:00] Ediehow: this really SUCKS

[07:41:00] Ediehow: and multitasking does the same STUPID thing

[07:41:00] kormoc: Ediehow, check the cpu usage
[07:42:00] kormoc: if it's not maxed out, then it's not cause it's not using xvmc

[07:44:00] Ediehow: 6%

[08:03:00] kormoc: Eszenia, in any case, it all points to an issue with your software somewhere
[08:03:00] kormoc: Eszenia, and the easiest way to fix it would be to reinstall from scratch
[08:04:00] Eszenia: that's kind of out of the question;)
[08:04:00] Eszenia: but let me see what happens after failsafe has everything working, then i start gnome-session
[08:04:00] kormoc: so something that gnome-session starts up
[08:05:00] thechris: just a shot in the dark, does mythtv have any "record to VCR" features
[08:05:00] kormoc: thechris, no
[08:05:00] thechris: i guessed as much
[08:06:00] so_: thechris, it has create dvd type functionality
[08:06:00] so_: and you can create a playlist and run it off to VCR manually if you like
[08:07:00] Eszenia: yeah, i started gnome-session, and it went poo
[08:08:00] Eszenia: WHATTTTTTTTT?
[08:08:00] Eszenia: it's nautilus!
[08:08:00] SlicerDicer-: kormoc: you still around?
[08:08:00] so_: yesh Nautilus is Gnome's default desktop/file manager
[08:08:00] Eszenia: why would nautilus do that?
[08:09:00] so_: try running nautlius in failsafe see what happens/error messages
[08:09:00] so_: maybe even try strace
[08:09:00] thechris: so_: i was thinking of this. my parents/older relatives all have VHS.
[08:11:00] poop: What would a record to VCR feature do?
[08:11:00] so_: I dunno send some IR to the VCR to get it to start recording maybe
[08:11:00] thechris: i guess make a playlist, then play it on a seperate ouptut and some IR magic
[08:12:00] poop: ah, sounds unrealiable though
[08:12:00] thechris: its pretty much what my parents want
[08:12:00] thechris: well, my dad
[08:12:00] poop: Maybe you can talk sense to him.
[08:12:00] so_: with enough CPU, I'd just be burning DVD+-RWs, dvd players are like $20+
[08:13:00] poop: I wonder if my VCR still works.
[08:13:00] Eszenia: - were u following the convo?
[08:13:00] Eszenia: so
[08:13:00] Eszenia: it seems nautilus causes poor performance for multitasking while playing mpeg2s/dvds etc
[08:13:00] so_: I dunno, I'm using fluxbox in knoppmyth :)
[08:14:00] so_: I can see that, but so would Konqueror I'm thinking
[08:15:00] Eszenia: it does
[08:15:00] Eszenia: both do, it seems
[08:15:00] Eszenia: but why?
[08:15:00] so_: when you open a directory with them they go and render thumbnails etc, and they also have the habit of watching directories with things like HAL
[08:16:00] Eszenia: or it may be gnome-vfs-daemon
[08:16:00] so_: basically the same thing as HAL if I remember correctly
[08:17:00] Eszenia: how do u mean?
[08:17:00] Eszenia: i thought i remembered something about hal being problematic and not necessary
[08:18:00] Eszenia: the problem occurs in kde even without konq running
[08:18:00] so_: shrug
[08:19:00] so_: gnome-vfs-daemon interfaces with HAL from what I'm reading here
[08:19:00] Eszenia: ok, so i stopped hal
[08:19:00] Eszenia: let's se
[08:19:00] so_: probably just generates too much I/O traffic to the disks
[08:19:00] Eszenia: that's not it
[08:20:00] Eszenia: problem still occurring in kde
[08:21:00] Eszenia: hmm, i spoke too soon
[08:21:00] Eszenia: i did totem
[08:21:00] Eszenia: err
[08:22:00] Eszenia: failsafe, metacity, totem, and was playing it, then did firefox, and started scrolling up and down a page
[08:22:00] Eszenia: and it started jolting
[08:22:00] Eszenia: oh wait, that's only if i do it really quickly, not if i do it normally
[08:23:00] so_: sure that isn't a video card problem or an interrupt IRQ problem?

[09:17:00] Juski: Moodles: signal indicates the strength of the signal. Snr is the 'signal to noise ratio', ber is the 'basic error rate' (iirc) and unc is the amount of uncorrectable errors
[09:20:00] Moodles: I get, Signal "4d00", snr "4d00" (usualy its the same as signal), ber "bfb6cb88", unc "bfb6cc24"
[09:20:00] Moodles: I assume this is ultra bad
[09:20:00] Juski: Moodles: but be aware some DVB drivers report things like the signal strength in different ways to others – mine, for example has 0000 as the strongest signal. What you need to look for is high SNR, low BER and preferably zero UNC

[09:21:00] Ediehow: what version of driver are you using?

[09:22:00] Ediehow: do you have any xvmc specific options in xorg.conf?
[09:22:00] Juski: no
[09:22:00] Moodles: Juski: yeah I run the dvbstream blah blah | mplayer -, I get a different crash message everytime, I assume my indoor antennae just sucks, or there's too much noise (considering there is 2 computers next to it)

[09:32:00] Ediehow: http://www.divms.uiowa.edu/~jjurich/changelog.txt
[09:32:00] Ediehow: Added a new Xv adaptor on GeForce4 and GeForceFX which uses the
[09:32:00] Ediehow: 3D engine to do Xv PutImage requests. This allows XvMC to operate
[09:32:00] Ediehow: when the video overlay is not available (such as in TwinView).
[09:32:00] Ediehow: XvMC still uses the overlay by default, when available. A new
[09:32:00] Ediehow: XF86Config option "XvmcUsesTextures" has been added to force
[09:32:00] Ediehow: usage of the 3D engine for XvMCPutSurface even when overlays are
[09:32:00] Ediehow: available.
[09:33:00] Juski: yeah yeah
[09:34:00] Ediehow: well what about that?
[09:34:00] Juski: so put "XcMCPutSurface" "1" in your xorg.conf I guess

[11:08:00] Juski: afaik the 150 card have a /dev/video32 that the ivtv driver gives you which _might_ just work
[11:08:00] Shadowpillar: nope
[11:10:00] Juski: that must just work for 250 & 350 cards then
[11:10:00] Juski: que sera
[11:12:00] Shadowpillar: well this is great
[11:13:00] Juski: Shadowpillar: a $10 tuner card will do the console viewing on your PC job
[11:13:00] Shadowpillar: I can prolly sell this thing

[11:15:00] Juski: Shadowpillar: that's just plain old sour grapes :P
[11:15:00] Shadowpillar: this card has done anything but work perfectly
[11:15:00] Shadowpillar: spent over a day and a half getting it to play nice
[11:16:00] Juski: Shadowpillar: of course you can watch tv with a $10 tuner card, but don't expect to be able to record with it.. bttv cards a very sucky in my experience
[11:16:00] Shadowpillar: then took 6 hours to download all the stuff needed for mythtv and then setting it all up
[11:16:00] Shadowpillar: I wasnt planning to
[11:16:00] Shadowpillar: there's not much on tv worth recording
[11:16:00] Shadowpillar: :P
[11:17:00] Shadowpillar: could hold onto the card though...
[11:17:00] Juski: now that really _is_ a bad case of sour grapes
[11:17:00] Shadowpillar: because I do want to make a media center pc
[11:17:00] Shadowpillar: I have an old shuttle mobo with a 433 mhz cpu on it
[11:17:00] Shadowpillar: onboard video and sound work well
[11:18:00] Juski: riiiight. that'll work like really 'well'... and be very bad for playing back video

[11:18:00] Shadowpillar: my video card makes playback smooth
[11:19:00] Juski: with a 433mhz CPU.. ahem
[11:19:00] Shadowpillar: in my case, 400 mhz for this comp :P
[11:20:00] Juski: even with xvmc that might be asking a bit much
[11:20:00] Shadowpillar: you'd be surprised what linux+old hardware can still do
[11:20:00] Shadowpillar: maybe not run superfast on a large resolution
[11:20:00] Juski: erm.. my 800mhz box had problems playing back mpeg2 at 720x576 without xvmc
[11:21:00] Shadowpillar: anyway
[11:21:00] Shadowpillar: know of any brooktree cards?
[11:21:00] Juski: Shadowpillar: the world is your (crappy) oyster for brooktree cards

[11:22:00] Goulkreek: Hello everybody
[11:22:00] Goulkreek: I try to use mythtv using a USB Wireless keyboard, but mythtv only accept the Escape key in navigation. Is there anyone who can help me ?
[11:22:00] Goulkreek: Note : My USB keyboard is working well in a XTerm (in FC4)
[11:22:00] Goulkreek: Thanks in advance !
[11:24:00] Juski: Goulkreek: maybe it's a window focus issue, not keyboard
[11:25:00] Goulkreek: Ah. even if Escape or PageDOWN/UP keys are seen by mythtv ?
[11:25:00] Juski: possibly
[11:25:00] Goulkreek: I check it
[11:26:00] Goulkreek: thx
[11:26:00] Juski: the thing is, are the keyboard's arrow keys working in the xterm?
[11:26:00] Goulkreek: yes all is ok in an xterm
[11:26:00] Juski: it's probably still a keyboard config issue
[11:27:00] Goulkreek: yes i believe. How can I change this config ?
[11:27:00] Goulkreek: is it a mythtv config file ?
[11:27:00] Juski: probably an xorg.conf issue
[11:28:00] Goulkreek: hum, I have already checked it, and it seems ok for kb
[11:28:00] Juski: try some other apps that use cursor keys to be 100% sure they're working ok
[11:29:00] Goulkreek: yes good idea. I do it now
[11:29:00] Goulkreek: I have tried xchat... and it is ok
[11:30:00] Juski: weird
[11:30:00] Juski: mythtv should _not_ care about the keyboard – I mean if it works in other apps it should be ok
[11:31:00] Goulkreek: yes i think the same.
[11:32:00] DonLKSAB: Yo
[11:32:00] DonLKSAB: Hi all
[11:32:00] DonLKSAB: Everyone had a nice christmas?

[11:33:00] Goulkreek: yes nice christmas thx.
[11:33:00] DonLKSAB: cool
[11:33:00] Goulkreek: i hope U 2
[11:33:00] DonLKSAB: Yes
[11:33:00] DonLKSAB: Exelent :-)
[11:34:00] DonLKSAB: Doing the last tweeks on my installation now :-)
[11:34:00] DonLKSAB: Not much things left to solve now
[11:35:00] Goulkreek: you're lucky. I have one left misunderstood problem on my platform with mythtv
[11:36:00] Goulkreek: no keyboard in mythtv while in any other app it is ok
[11:36:00] DonLKSAB: Odd
[11:36:00] Goulkreek: Juski : I have restarted mythbackend service and it is ok
[11:36:00] Goulkreek: Don' : My last problem is solved now
[11:37:00] Goulkreek: thx for your "aura"
[11:37:00] DonLKSAB: hehe
[11:37:00] Goulkreek: Thx Justi having taken care about me ;-)
[11:39:00] Juski: Goulkreek: thanks.. I still can't see why that would have helped – but maybe if you plugged the keyboard in after booting & running mythbackend... I just don't know
[11:39:00] Goulkreek: thx
[11:43:00] t00m: stupid firefox doesn't build with distcc either

[12:49:00] Kelerion: was just wondering if your widescreen version of your theme was available to download for testing yet? (just got my new tv and am dying to get it all working nicely)
[12:49:00] Juski: Kelerion: nope
[12:50:00] Juski: doubt it will be til next year.
[12:50:00] Kelerion: am doing a complete flatten-reinstall of my box today – it's become unstable over the last couple of months and WAF is going downwards.. lol
[12:50:00] Kelerion: okies.. thanks anyways :) keep up the good work

[12:53:00] Juski: ermm... I just realised that when I reinstalled the os I lost a lot
[12:53:00] Kelerion: oops
[12:53:00] Juski: I think it's all done apart from weather-ui
[12:53:00] Kelerion: does it need the svn version?
[12:54:00] Juski: nah the theme just ignores definitions that don't exist
[12:54:00] Kelerion: cool
[12:54:00] Kelerion: I can install release then – anything for stability at the moment.. lol
[12:54:00] Juski: but it doesn't work the other way, so if you use svn you need a theme with the new stuff in it
[12:55:00] Kelerion: I was dying to try the new stuff in svn a few weeks ago – so I installed it.. loved it.. but not *quite* stable enough.. so went backwards again.. but it wasn't the same
[12:56:00] Juski: I find it hard to say this but there's nothing that attracts me to the SVN version
[12:57:00] Juski: can't see me upgrading til 0.20 brings the new UI stuff
[12:57:00] Kelerion: I loved the idea of the new livetv functionality.. but to be honest.. I don't watch that much livetv anymore
[12:57:00] Ediehow: livetv is new?
[12:58:00] Ediehow: oh ok
[12:58:00] Kelerion: nope.. rewritten
[12:58:00] Ediehow: nevermind
[12:58:00] Ediehow: i don
[12:58:00] Ediehow: 't get it though, doens't all of it just use mplayer?

[12:58:00] ** Kelerion chuckles **
[13:00:00] Kelerion: my wife and I work all day – so myth records everything and we settle down around 8pm and start catching up.. if we don't have enough to watch I dig a DVD out we haven't watched for a while and remember to add more recordings for that day
[13:01:00] Shadowpillar: Juski: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16815123001 this one look good?
[13:02:00] Juski: just fired up my testing box, so I'll be able to do some theme work once I've got mythtv going on it
[13:02:00] Shadowpillar: Juski: it's saa7134 based
[13:02:00] Shadowpillar: Juski: is that well supported under linux from your experience?

[13:15:00] Juski: most DRM is pathetic anyway. look at Itunes... you can't play that mp4 file on just anything, but they let you burn a CD and erm... how easy is it to rip a CD? ;)
[13:15:00] Ediehow: so you guys want regulation for artists' works?
[13:15:00] Shadowpillar: the DMCA passed, the mpaa and riaa took all focus off music (compare music pre-1998 to post 1998, you will notice a quality drop) and onto litigation and racketeering
[13:15:00] Shadowpillar: also, I dont pay for new music as I dont listen to new music :)
[13:15:00] Shadowpillar: I do buy the older stuff though
[13:16:00] Shadowpillar: however, the RIAA will consider that a sale lost to piracy, at least claim it is
[13:16:00] Juski: there's a reason why cinema revenues are down. when was the last time you went 3 times in a row to see different films & didnt feel "that was 2 hours of my life I'll never get back" ?
[13:16:00] Shadowpillar: bingo
[13:17:00] Shadowpillar: and part of it is intentional as they can blame losses on piracy, thus strengthening their arguement to a bunch of old rich white guys who are socially inept or socially behind the times and have no idea what's going on outside of the political world
[13:17:00] Shadowpillar: some of it is racketeering, the other is dumb fear

[15:30:00] madbrain: however I'd really like to get the DVHS to work, to allow my video collection to grow. HDTV eats up ~10 GB/hr so even a 1 TB RAID array is only going to be 100 hrs...
[15:31:00] Fitzsimmons: 10 GB/hr eh
[15:32:00] \Grooby\_: i transcode mine
[15:32:00] \Grooby\_: down to about 5.5/hr
[15:32:00] \Grooby\_: ehehehe
[15:32:00] \Grooby\_: so 1TB raid is 200 hrs
[15:32:00] \Grooby\_: or so
[15:33:00] madbrain: that must take a long time to transcode, though, right ?
[15:33:00] madbrain: and I don't particularly want to lose quality. plus the tapes are going to live longer than the hard drives
[15:33:00] Fitzsimmons: the tapes are magnetic too aren't they?
[15:34:00] madbrain: yeah
[15:34:00] madbrain: but mostly they'll be sitting on shelves, not like the hard drive spinning every day
[15:34:00] Fitzsimmons: good point
[15:35:00] \Grooby\_: no medium will last forever
[15:35:00] \Grooby\_: hehehehe
[15:35:00] madbrain: right
[15:35:00] madbrain: I'd hate to backup the entire 1 TB array though
[15:35:00] madbrain: but I can copy the tapes one at a time if they go bad
[15:36:00] Fitzsimmons: both of those conclusions have some fallacy to them ;)
[15:36:00] \Grooby\_: raid those tapes
[15:36:00] \Grooby\_: j/k

[15:38:00] \Grooby\_: anyway....got a question regarding mythmusic

[21:31:00] Fitzsimmons: well, supposedly it is the lirc_gpio module
[21:31:00] Fitzsimmons: but that relies on bttv, which I am led to belive is obsolete/depreciated
[21:32:00] Fitzsimmons: never mind, there it is :|
[21:32:00] Fitzsimmons: I wonder if that means my capture card works with more than one type of kernel module
[21:33:00] Fitzsimmons: yes, it does. the one I'm running now is the successor

[22:31:00] praet: ive got an nvida fx 5200 in one box, and just built anothe mx 4000 for another

[22:33:00] d3ity: praet: on top of that, its got a waterblock on it...

[22:33:00] d3ity: twas my aging gaming box
[22:33:00] d3ity: now its the bitorrent/fileserver with 800GB of storage...soon to be the mythtv box as well
[22:34:00] praet: do you have another box to use as a frontend?
[22:35:00] d3ity: praet: not particularly, do i need one?
[22:35:00] d3ity: honestly i pretty much dove headfirst into this idea..
[22:37:00] praet: well you could throw another smaller machine with a tv out and pull the captures from your pvr machine on a lan
[22:37:00] d3ity: praet: its possible to do it all on the same box though right?
[22:37:00] praet: yeah
[22:38:00] d3ity: phew.
[22:38:00] praet: anyways how far did you get.. did you get drivers loaded?

[22:38:00] d3ity: praet: the box i speak of is back in my dorm room

[22:38:00] d3ity: for i am stuck at home.
[22:39:00] praet: aha
[22:39:00] psofa: btw i think its way better to use mysql query database instead of mythweb.At least for editing the channel list
[22:39:00] d3ity: ugh, my tv doesnt have svideo built in
[22:39:00] psofa: scart?
[22:39:00] d3ity: so that means i need that stupid little converter box that never works
[22:39:00] praet: you get a free s-vid to compsite converter with the card?
[22:39:00] psofa: does it have scart
[22:40:00] psofa: ?
[22:40:00] d3ity: praet: nope.
[22:40:00] d3ity: praet: not with the mx4000 i'm looking at

[22:41:00] d3ity: god knows the thing is a piece of junk.
[22:41:00] d3ity: praet: also, i'd like to ask a stupid question... those RCA cables, you know the ones with the red, white, and yellow connector for audio and video.... is that all i need? or is this composite shit a diffrent kind of cable?
[22:42:00] d3ity: i know theres composite, and component...and it drives me crazy.
[22:42:00] hackmiester: d3ity: that is composite
[22:42:00] praet: yellow cable = composite
[22:42:00] hackmiester: d3ity: yellow is video
[22:42:00] hackmiester: composite video.
[22:42:00] psofa: if yout tv doesnt have svideo o doubt it has component
[22:42:00] d3ity: hackmiester ok, then my question is...why the hell doesnt it work with my ati card.
[22:42:00] d3ity: psofa: thats what i thought
[22:42:00] hackmiester: psofa: mine doesn't.
[22:42:00] d3ity: my ati card hates TV-Out for some reason... idk, i might go pick up a new cable or something
[22:43:00] d3ity: but the cables i have been using were just stolen from my DVD player.
[22:43:00] praet: d3ity try this, unplug your monitor, plug in the tvout to your tv and set your tv to that line in, then turn on your pc
[22:43:00] hackmiester: d3ity: what card? ati tv out doesn't work worth jack shit in Linux
[22:43:00] psofa: d3ity, i think you should invest in a cheap fx5200
[22:43:00] psofa: to save you from the ati troubles
[22:43:00] d3ity: hackmiester, definatley know this
[22:43:00] hackmiester: heh
[22:43:00] d3ity: psofa: but then i have to buy another one of those retarted converter boxes.
[22:43:00] darkdrgn2k: hackmiester: it does work, only in VESA mode
[22:43:00] hackmiester: I'm currently wrestling with a Mach64 to get it working

[22:44:00] darkdrgn2k: Whats a good card for TV OUT
[22:44:00] darkdrgn2k: hackmiester: mine worked in vesa.. though mytthv output was krap
[22:44:00] d3ity: praet: i'll give it a shot when i'm back at college.
[22:44:00] d3ity: praet: if not, i'll order one of these mx4000's and buy the stupid little box
[22:44:00] d3ity: i really really have grown to hate ATI and thier video cards and whatnot
[22:44:00] praet: someone posted a bit back the cheap converter
[22:45:00] d3ity: praet: hasnt someone made an agp card that has a friggin coax hookup on it?

[22:45:00] d3ity: just.... out.
[22:45:00] d3ity: praet: ok, that looks simple.
[22:45:00] d3ity: i'll take three
[22:46:00] darkdrgn2k: d3ity: i gots 2 :-P
[22:46:00] praet: d3ity that is svideo to composite
[22:46:00] praet: yeah ive got an extra here as well
[22:46:00] darkdrgn2k: d3ity: works well too
[22:46:00] praet: d3ity the pvr350 has coax out
[22:46:00] d3ity: praet: that would be perfect for my application with that mx4000 provided my ATI card takes a shit on me, like it always always does
[22:46:00] d3ity: praet: 20 bucks for the mx4000, or returning my 150 and spending another 100 bucks

[22:51:00] thechris: 6.9 you say?
[22:51:00] d3ity: thechris: well, first off, getting fglrx to work would probably be your first step, while you're doing that... i'm going to go copy war and peace backwards in a dark room.

[22:54:00] thechris: hmm seems: There is a separate, source only, branch with support for TV-out. It is maintained by Federico Ulivi.
[22:55:00] kormoc: d3ity, nope
[22:55:00] praet: ou are using fire gl ddx with myth no problems?
[22:55:00] kormoc: d3ity, for you, you need to use fglrx
[22:55:00] d3ity: kormoc: for 3d accel i know i need fglrx
[22:56:00] kormoc: thechris, I would really try gatos before working with smaller projects, lots of people use gatos
[22:56:00] praet: fglrx is opengl though right?
[22:56:00] kormoc: d3ity, and for tvout on newer ati's
[22:57:00] d3ity: kormoc: meh.
[22:57:00] d3ity: kormoc: i hate ATI.
[22:57:00] ** d3ity says this as an x700 sits in his laptop **
[22:57:00] thechris: kormoc: it looks like GATOS has the ati.2 module in the kernel now. but it says it has an emphasis on "tv in"
[22:58:00] kormoc: thechris, http://gatos.sourceforge.net/theater_out.php
[22:59:00] kormoc: d3ity, indeed, ati does have it's sucky side

[23:00:00] thechris: man, my new wifi card ain't too bad.
[23:00:00] thechris: i can connect to a wifi network 2 houses over
[23:01:00] thechris: maybe i should tell them to secure that...
[23:01:00] thechris: or maybe i'll just change the password to the router...
[23:01:00] kormoc: and turn off the inet just to help them be secure
[23:02:00] thechris: kormoc: hmm. no they might not like that.
[23:02:00] thechris: though it would teach them a lesson
[23:03:00] ** d3ity has a brilliant idea **
[23:03:00] d3ity: anyone happen to be interested in a cheap barebone athlon xp 2000+ system?
[23:03:00] kormoc: d3ity, how cheap?
[23:03:00] d3ity: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem . . . m=8742726665
[23:03:00] d3ity: kormoc: ....cheap
[23:03:00] d3ity: as of right now, 10 bucks.
[23:04:00] d3ity: pretty much just trying to get rid of it

[23:43:00] mishehu: I don't think I follow

[23:47:00] wasabi_: Looking for a DVI capture card.
[23:48:00] wasabi_: Something that is not a tuner.
[23:48:00] eiggirC: and the fourth 40 Gb is my root drive
[23:48:00] wasabi_: Or a HDMP or whatever capture, too.
[23:48:00] eiggirC: wasabi_: tried google? Its not something I've ever used
[23:48:00] wasabi_: Yeah. Not having much luck.
[23:48:00] wasabi_: Hard to find "dvi in"
[23:48:00] eiggirC: do you mean HDTV ?
[23:49:00] eiggirC: or DVB-x where x is S, T, something or something else
[23:49:00] wasabi_: Well, yes, HDTV, but no tuner.
[23:49:00] eiggirC: S for Satellite, T for Terrestrial
[23:49:00] wasabi_: I have no need to tune.

[23:49:00] wasabi_: I have a satalite box which provides a DVI out.
[23:49:00] mishehu: eiggirC: I don't see why if it's raid0 why it wouldn't expire files correctly
[23:49:00] Juski: wasabi_: afaik there's no such thing as a DVI or HDMI capture device in the consumer arena
[23:50:00] mishehu: it acts as any other file system.
[23:50:00] wasabi_: Well, any suggestions on how this might work?
[23:50:00] _diZZ_: Hi there!
[23:50:00] eiggirC: mishehu: cos if I go to "status" on my frontend, it shows 40 Gb with 10 Gb remaining, which is my root partition
[23:50:00] _diZZ_: Is there any ppc users around?
[23:50:00] Juski: the kind of data rate you'd get from such a capture card would be phenomenal!
[23:50:00] eiggirC: mishehu: not the raid device
[23:50:00] eiggirC: dizz: not me – mine's coming in late january
[23:50:00] mishehu: eiggirC: hmm, I never paid attention to that, let me see what might says (I have no raid on my backend)
[23:50:00] _diZZ_: ok.
[23:51:00] eiggirC: mishehu: I think maybe I should have used LVM to make one dirty big partition, with an initrd
[23:51:00] _diZZ_: I have annoying problem with mythmusic and mac mini (running Linux)
[23:51:00] eiggirC: is it debian ?
[23:51:00] _diZZ_: Yup..
[23:51:00] eiggirC: debian is going through... issues, with mythtv

[23:52:00] eiggirC: the recommendation is to compile mythtv from source on debian
[23:52:00] mishehu: eiggirC: you running 0.18.1?

[23:52:00] eiggirC: 0.18.1.20050510–1
[23:52:00] Juski: wasabi_: have a look here: http://www.videoclarity.com/html/CV-Hardware.html
[23:52:00] eiggirC: mishehu: yes looks like it
[23:52:00] psofa: does import from channels.conf require latest dvbscan utils?
[23:53:00] mishehu: eiggirC: check your path settings in the configuration menus. when I look at the "System Status" -> "Machine Status", it shows me accurate informaiton for the partition that is used by mythtv.
[23:53:00] _diZZ_: I don't think that the problem is the distribution. If could be that the alsa driver for mac mini is still incomplete or there are some problems with the myht music and big endians.
[23:54:00] wasabi_: Okay so how do most of you do Dish TV?
[23:54:00] wasabi_: What comes out of hte satilite box?
[23:54:00] eiggirC: mishehu: okay thanks – I must have missed a setting somewhjere

[23:55:00] Juski: wasabi_: for HDTV most people use PCI HDTV tuners or firewire when possible (not often because providers often encrypt HD content over firewire, thereby disabling capture)
[23:55:00] wasabi_: So the PCI HDTV tuners can "tune into" whatever hte satilite outputs?
[23:55:00] mishehu: on an athlon xp 3200+, I have a pvr250 and run both an backend and a front end. hd and dvd drive are pata, and are on separate channels. whenever the backend is recording something, if I play a dvd, I lose audio "carrier". has anybody else experienced this?
[23:55:00] wasabi_: Sort of like how things on analog used to be on channel 3. ;0
[23:57:00] Juski: no, wasabi_ I don't think so
[23:57:00] psofa: erm how can i use dvbtune?
[23:57:00] wasabi_: So... how do they do what you said?
[23:57:00] eiggirC: mishehu: watch the load average while it works
[23:57:00] eiggirC: could be underpowered?
[23:57:00] eiggirC: mishehu: got DMA turned on?
[23:58:00] eiggirC: I've got no DVD drive, but does it do digital audio or a CD-like sound cable?
[23:59:00] Juski: wasabi_: as far as I know you can only use the PCI HDTV tuners to grab over the air signals, not satellite
[23:59:00] wasabi_: So... back to the original question. ;)
[23:59:00] wasabi_: <wasabi_> Okay so how do most of you do Dish TV?
