[00:00:00] Juski: hmmm
[00:00:00] d3ity: could be a bad cable connection...not sure.
[00:00:00] Balders: I gave up on winmyth a few months ago, but what ever was current then (probably still current now) claimed to be in sync with backend 0.18
[00:00:00] Juski: yeh could be

[00:00:00] ** Juski gave up on winmyth the 2nd time it crashed the backend & locked his machine **
[00:01:00] d3ity: Juski, ever used gatos?
[00:01:00] d3ity: anyone else happen to use gatos?
[00:01:00] Juski: maybe if the winmyth developers read the source of mythtv instead of reverse engineering the protocol....
[00:01:00] Juski: d3ity: apparently gatos is now included in X.Org
[00:02:00] riddlebox: hrmm I may be on to something, in Set Priorities it does see it but it is labeled to not record
[00:02:00] d3ity: Juski, Whats this stream-type option in the menu you sent me to
[00:02:00] Juski: d3ity: have a look on the net for how to set up your video card on Slack
[00:02:00] Juski: d3ity: stream-type?
[00:02:00] EricL: Does anyone know where to get the debs for MythTV for Debian sarge?
[00:02:00] d3ity: Juski, yeah, under MPEG-2 Encoders
[00:03:00] d3ity: right after you set the resolution
[00:03:00] Juski: what is it now?
[00:03:00] d3ity: MPEG-2 PS
[00:03:00] Juski: thats right

[00:03:00] d3ity: might there be a way to modify it to get smoother framerates?
[00:03:00] ** Juski powers up the spare box his PVR150 is in **
[00:04:00] Guyfromhe: my prv-150 has smooth framerates
[00:04:00] Juski: so does mine
[00:04:00] d3ity: Guyfromhe, yeah, but it has no output
[00:04:00] d3ity: the output would be the video card.
[00:05:00] Guyfromhe: the output is my pvr350
[00:05:00] Juski: d3ity: when you configured X, how did you do it? follow any guide?
[00:05:00] d3ity: Guyfromhe, aren't you special
[00:05:00] d3ity: Juski, xorgcfg. Just let it autodetect after installing the tv_output gatos drivers

[00:05:00] d3ity: perhaps i should use xorgconf and try it through that

[00:09:00] defII: Im not getting any picture when I do the dd test for the 350, any suggestions?
[00:09:00] Juski: nope
[00:09:00] defII: Am I supposed to see it in the console?
[00:10:00] Guyfromhe: defII: in or out?
[00:10:00] defII: Guyfromhe, hmm...
[00:10:00] kormoc: defII, no, you dd it to a file and then view it via mplayer
[00:10:00] Balders (n=psolomon@60-240-124-246.tpgi.com.au) has left #mythtv-users
[00:10:00] defII: kormoc, ohh
[00:11:00] d3ity: ok, running xorgconfig broke my TV-out
[00:11:00] defII: so at the end of th dd if=.......... > filename ?
[00:11:00] d3ity: perhaps i shall delve deeper and reenable it
[00:11:00] kormoc: defII, yes
[00:11:00] kormoc: defII, no

[00:11:00] kormoc: defII, sorry, if you were cat /dev/blah you would pipe it to a file
[00:12:00] kormoc: defII, the dd command is dd if=blah of=bleh, if is Input File, of is Output File, so no direction needed
[00:12:00] jemarcks_ (n=jemarcks@cpe-67-9-156-75.austin.res.rr.com) has joined #mythtv-users
[00:12:00] defII: kormoc, how do you watch it then, terminal?
[00:13:00] kormoc: defII, you don't via a terminal, you have to watch it via mplayer or xine or similar
[00:13:00] defII: kormoc, ok so I run the dd test and then open /dev/... in mplayer?
[00:13:00] kormoc: no...
[00:13:00] defII: kormoc, lol
[00:13:00] kormoc: you open the of=bleh in mplayer
[00:13:00] kormoc: copy and paste the full dd line
[00:14:00] defII: dd if=/dev/video of=/dev/video16 bs=64k
[00:15:00] kormoc: so then you are outputing it to the video out, do you have a tv hooked up via the tv out?
[00:15:00] defII: kormoc, no
[00:15:00] Camisa (n=Camisa@c-67-176-161-7.hsd1.in.comcast.net) Quit ("Leaving")
[00:16:00] kormoc: defII, so why are you testing the tvout if you can't view it?
[00:16:00] defII: kormoc, kinda didn't know what I was doing (I hate honesty)
[00:16:00] kormoc: fair nuff, and that would by why it was doing nothing
[00:17:00] kormoc: to test to see if it at least has input
[00:17:00] Juski: aye
[00:17:00] kormoc: do this
[00:17:00] defII: I was doing cat /dev/video0 > file.mpg
[00:17:00] defII: and everything is fine?
[00:17:00] kormoc: yup
[00:17:00] defII: and everything is fine
[00:17:00] defII: no question mark
[00:17:00] kormoc: then it's all good
[00:18:00] defII: blank screen when I switch to live tv
[00:18:00] kormoc: but the file.mpg displays correctly?
[00:18:00] defII: yes
[00:18:00] kormoc: mythtv-settings, capture-cards is setup correctly? hardware mpeg card and so on?
[00:19:00] defII: yes
[00:19:00] kormoc: what does the backend's logs say?
[00:19:00] defII: I'm watching the backend and it just says switching to live tv

[00:20:00] kormoc: you sure you have it set to use the right input off of the card?

[00:20:00] defII: in setup > tvsettings > playback I have the hardware decoder checked and set to video16
[00:20:00] kormoc: that would be outputing to an external tv then
[00:20:00] Raven301 (n=raven_30@customer-200-79-91-5.uninet-ide.com.mx) has joined #mythtv-users
[00:20:00] defII: which is what ivtv says is the location of my decoder
[00:21:00] kormoc: the 350 only decodes to the tvout
[00:21:00] Man_Friday-b (n=General_@grove4.demon.co.uk) Quit ()
[00:21:00] defII: hmm
[00:21:00] defII: so I have to hook a tv to the output?
[00:21:00] kormoc: if you want the hardware decoder, yes
[00:21:00] Juski: shit. just realised something about this dvb radio patch... it means that all the radio programmes end up in the programme guide... which can be a bit erm... confusing... maybe we'll then need a way to demarcate TV&Radio channels
[00:22:00] defII: kormoc, soo If im using my video card as tvout then I dont get hardware decoding?
[00:22:00] defII: hmm
[00:23:00] kormoc: defII, your videocard might be doing hardware decoding (if it's an nvidia card)
[00:23:00] defII: ati
[00:23:00] kormoc: then yes, no hardware decoding
[00:23:00] Juski: definitely not doing any decoding then
[00:23:00] defII: wait the reason I got this was for the hardware encoder..
[00:23:00] kormoc: now, the 350's tvout is a full videocard
[00:23:00] kormoc: not ment for games, but works fine for videos
[00:23:00] Guyfromhe: the 150 is a hardware encoder only
[00:24:00] defII: hmm
[00:24:00] kormoc: Guyfromhe, which would be why we're talking bout the 350
[00:25:00] defII: kormoc, lol thx
[00:25:00] defII: I was all screwed up
[00:25:00] wega_ (n=wega@24-178-202-218.dhcp.ftwo.tx.charter.com) has joined #mythtv-users
[00:25:00] defII: the encoder is what I care about not the decoder
[00:25:00] kormoc: then yeah, you really should have picked up a 150 or a 500
[00:26:00] defII: kormoc, ohh yeah i disabled the tv-out and magically got tv
[00:26:00] majesty (i=majesty@pcp648071pcs.mkethn01.fl.comcast.net) Quit (Read error: 110 (Connection timed out))
[00:26:00] defII: kormoc, ill probobly replace it with a 500
[00:26:00] Guyfromhe: thats what I was saying
[00:26:00] ** kormoc nods **
[00:26:00] defII: that way i get 2 tuners
[00:26:00] kormoc: tho, if you are actually using your ati card for tvout, just switch the tv out to the 350, it's nicer overall imho
[00:27:00] defII: damnit I should have read things better
[00:27:00] Guyfromhe: it really is
[00:27:00] Guyfromhe: unl;ess your using hd out or something
[00:27:00] Guyfromhe: use the 350

[00:27:00] defII: kormoc, yeah but I got it going to an hdmi input
[00:27:00] kormoc: hdtv doesn't work with ati cards iirc
[00:27:00] defII: its a 9800pro
[00:27:00] defII: not some rinky dink card
[00:27:00] kormoc: something about a rendering bug with large res mpeg-2 files
[00:28:00] Guyfromhe: plus it's not gunna be much better if your capping a SD source anyway
[00:28:00] defII: kormoc, running it a 1920x540
[00:28:00] kormoc: defII, yeah, but it has some really runky dink linux drivers that make the card mostly useless

[00:28:00] Guyfromhe: unless your using it for something else
[00:28:00] defII: kormoc, well... that actually are getting better
[00:28:00] defII: kormoc, I'll agree with you though
[00:28:00] kormoc: compaired to others out there, they are lightyears behind and only gonna keep falling back
[00:29:00] defII: I was gonna get an nvidia card to rplace this one but I did'nt want to spend alot
[00:29:00] defII: plus it has to be able to push WoW on my bigscreen without a glitch
[00:29:00] ** kormoc shrugs **
[00:30:00] Juski: defII: yeah but it wasn't HD
[00:30:00] kyu_flux_: does anyone here know if you can use a digital tuner card with comcast + myth?
[00:30:00] kormoc: my 5200 could do that, and I paid $40 for it.
[00:30:00] wega_ (n=wega@24-178-202-218.dhcp.ftwo.tx.charter.com) has left #mythtv-users
[00:30:00] defII: kormoc, you think?
[00:30:00] kormoc: kyu_flux, only if you can deencrypt the signal
[00:30:00] kormoc: defII, it's pushing 1024x1536 just fine
[00:31:00] kyu_flux_: kormoc: that was part of my question (implicit) – Comcast doesn't encrypt their OTA HD channels, but do they encrypt their digital ones?
[00:31:00] kormoc: yes
[00:31:00] kyu_flux_: SOB ... alright... thanks. =)
[00:31:00] kyu_flux_: i'm gunna have to do that whole "firewire out etc etc etc" stuff
[00:31:00] kyu_flux_: or just be happy with analog capture
[00:32:00] defII: kormoc, seriously you got me thinking, whats the real difference between the 2?
[00:33:00] kormoc: defII, between the nvidia and ati card? well, nvidia's drivers are way better and easier to setup and running in a multitude of ways. Setting up my ati card at work for just dual head with hardware 3d accelleration on both heads was a huge bitch. My 5200 is way faster then my 9200 at work (by about 2x or so)
[00:33:00] defII: kormoc, and what do you mean by ati cant do HDTV?
[00:34:00] kormoc: defII, better support for multiple video cards and full hardware accelleration across all of them
[00:35:00] kormoc: defII, there's an ati driver bug with hdtv res on certain cards, I seem to recall that it's 9800's and below that on decoding of hd tv res mpeg2 video, they leave a huge green strip in it, and it's a hardware bug, not a driver bug
[00:36:00] defII: kormoc, ok I havent tried any hd yet so I cant comment

[00:59:00] cosmo_: are negative numbers high or low priority? stupid question indeed, but Im not sure if it corresponds to unix nice levels
[01:00:00] Juski: logic would suggest they're a lower priority than positive numbers
[01:01:00] Juski: but I dunno.. you're talking about rec & tuner priorities, yeh?
[01:02:00] kormoc: it is
[01:02:00] Juski: cosmo_: see http://www.mythtv.org/docs/mythtv-HOWTO-12.html#ss12.2
[01:02:00] cosmo_: yup, arent unix nice values high priority for neg numbers, Im all reversed here

[01:17:00] Slurpee`: juski, ive been fuckin with video card for almost 2 weeks
[01:18:00] Juski: Slurpee`: told you what to do the other day
[01:18:00] defII: cool
[01:18:00] Slurpee`: i just dont have time to mess with it
[01:18:00] Juski: so don't get it working then :-P
[01:18:00] Slurpee`: i work full time and go to college full time and i don thave have rich parents paying for everything .....

[01:19:00] Juski: my mythtv boxes work
[01:19:00] Slurpee`: then u can make 50 bux off me :)
[01:20:00] Juski: I'm not being funny here Slurpee` but you don't seem like the ignorant type.. I'm sure if you take it easy (rush less) and take time to learn what you're doing it'll all come
[01:21:00] ** Juski 's first mythtv box took 2 weeks to get going.. before work, after work, during lunchbreaks.. til 4 in the morning... **

[01:21:00] ** Juski 's last mythtv box took 2 hours to get going, one year later **
[01:21:00] Slurpee`: ive been working since about christmas
[01:22:00] Slurpee`: do u think ive changed too many settings for my video card ?
[01:22:00] Slurpee`: think i need to reformat ?
[01:22:00] Juski: Slurpee`: also – you have this 'can't' attitude man.. either that or its cos you panic & change stuff without really knowing what you're breaking.. don't take this personally but you need to take a step back from it & work more slowly
[01:23:00] Slurpee`: well im not even at home now
[01:23:00] Slurpee`: im at work
[01:23:00] Slurpee`: trying to resreach thigns to try for when i get home
[01:23:00] Juski: dump the distro you've got to one that'll just install more or less finished.. maybe ubuntu
[01:24:00] Juski: that's half your problems out of the way for a start
[01:25:00] Juski: then follow arabaccia.com 's brilliant how-to guide _slowly_, double checking everything you type before pressing ENTER ;)
[01:25:00] Slurpee`: which problems would be half way outa the way
[01:25:00] Slurpee`: my main problem is getting vid and tv card to work
[01:25:00] Juski: the video card subject, we covered the other day
[01:26:00] Juski: you know.. nvidia has a linux drivers section.. download a driver from there, unpack it & see if the install script will work.. chances are it might
[01:29:00] Juski: and there are literally _countless_ how-to guides out there for getting nvidia cards configured
[01:29:00] Slurpee`: yea
[01:29:00] Slurpee`: see
[01:29:00] Slurpee`: i think my problem is that i followed way too many guides
[01:29:00] Slurpee`: and listneed to too many people
[01:30:00] Slurpee`: and i made way too many changes
[01:30:00] kormoc: well, obviously you never listened to the right people :P
[01:30:00] Slurpee`: thats why i think i need a fresh install
[01:30:00] Slurpee`: because when i did install, x started up fine
[01:30:00] Slurpee`: now that ive made changes, i cant even get x to start
[01:30:00] kormoc: with what error?
[01:31:00] Slurpee`: some video card error, im pretty sure
[01:31:00] Juski: if you can ssh into the box, you can fix it
[01:31:00] Slurpee`: i kno im pissed
[01:31:00] Slurpee`: i forgot about the hit F1 on the bios
[01:31:00] kormoc: Slurpee`, so why don't you just put up the error in a pastebin so one of us can help you fix it?
[01:31:00] Slurpee`: i tried that, but no one helped
[01:31:00] Slurpee`: ive been hangin out here and #debian on efnet
[01:32:00] Slurpee`: and debian on this network too
[01:32:00] Juski: whats the IP address of this box then?
[01:32:00] Juski: got putty, all ready & waiting
[01:32:00] Slurpee`: <Slurpee`> i forgot about the hit F1 on the bios
[01:32:00] Slurpee`: its just sitting there waiting for someone to hit f1

[02:32:00] hagios: JeffATL, nope. same thing. video on 5 and 6 and static on every other channel

[02:33:00] kormoc: Elmoe, don't enable that part?
[02:33:00] kormoc: Elmoe, or just get a mirror and use the code?
[02:34:00] hagios: JeffATL, i have it set to input 4 (which it says is the tuner) and ntsc

[02:36:00] sven: Since I couldn't get the MythTV cd to find my USB tv-wonder, I decided to ask, about an Error 2 when I try to compile BtTv-0.9.15. The error reads: bttv-driver.c, function 'bttv_suspend', 3596 error: too many arguments to function 'pci_restore_state'
[02:36:00] hagios: JeffATL, cable
[02:36:00] JeffATL: hagios: make sure your tuner mode is set to US cable
[02:36:00] hagios: JeffATL, i can watch it just fine on the tv next to it
[02:36:00] hagios: how do i do that. haha
[02:36:00] JeffATL: i don't recall; run mythsetup or whatever it is
[02:36:00] hagios: i looked through itvtctrl and don't rcemember seeing it
[02:37:00] JeffATL: hagios: stopping at channel 6 is the dead giveaway
[02:37:00] hagios: oh. well i've already gone through the mythtv setup
[02:37:00] hagios: hmm
[02:37:00] hagios: well it only gives channels 5,6
[02:37:00] hagios: nothing else
[02:37:00] Elmoe: JuzzzzZki: Any idea where I could still grab a copy of libdts/libdca?
[02:37:00] JuzzzzZki: d3ity: you'll just have to go & buy a $40 nvidia card to replace it :) You could spend less & still get help decoding MPEG though
[02:37:00] kormoc: Elmoe, http://developers.videolan.org/svn.html
[02:38:00] Elmoe: kormoc: I thought they pulled it because of the legal shit though
[02:38:00] JuzzzzZki: Elmoe: what do you need libdts/libdca for? If there's a patent issue, maybe nowhere
[02:38:00] kormoc: Elmoe, might be a different lib?

[02:39:00] hagios: JeffATL, man this is no depressing. the only channel i get has john stamos on it.
[02:39:00] JeffATL: hagios: i feel yoh pain
[02:41:00] hagios: JeffATL, well the 'channel frequency table' in mythtvsetup is set to 'us-cable'
[02:42:00] hagios: and mythtv can like detect my inputs from my card correctly

[06:15:00] Z-Morek: I wonder if maybe it's not accessing the DB quick enough as it's a backend/frontend

[13:19:00] PaulWay: It seems to cause it to not get any data from the card. I get a message every second in the log about it.

[13:23:00] PaulWay: But, yes, I should just FGI.
[13:24:00] Juski: PaulWay: is heirarchy set to auto or none in mythtv-setup for the multiplexes?
[13:24:00] Juski: typically it should be none IIRC
[13:25:00] PaulWay: Hmmm. Just a minute, Juski, will check.
[13:25:00] Juski: might be set to 'auto' by default, which may not help
[13:25:00] Kelerion: am gonna have to setup dvb in a couple of days – I just know it's gonna give me grief from all the questions that get asked about it
[13:27:00] PaulWay: Juski: All transports were on 'auto'. I've now set them to 'none'.
[13:28:00] PaulWay: Kelerion: For the most part it's actually great.
[13:28:00] PaulWay: I
[13:29:00] PaulWay: Most annoyingly, I've just noticed that the unsupported hierarchy parameter message was before mythbackend used DVB0 (the one that failed before) to get successfully lock on to a signal.
[13:30:00] PaulWay: It goes from None to RecordingOnly, opens the card successfully (using TS mode) and then gets no data from it.

[13:32:00] PaulWay: And it's even had trouble (earlier) tuning the same channel that it (later) tuned and recorded successfully.

[14:09:00] Beirdo: benzine is used for checking the watermarks in stamps
[14:09:00] Juski: hi laga.. lookin busy, as usual ;)3
[14:09:00] Beirdo: or is it benzene?
[14:09:00] Beirdo: I never remember which one
[14:09:00] Beirdo: lighter fluid
[14:09:00] laga: Juski: hehe ;). pays the bills ;)
[14:09:00] Juski: both probablyu carcinogens
[14:09:00] Juski: got to figure a way to put some series termination in the strobe lines of this ATA Flash devcie
[14:10:00] Beirdo: oh yeah, they are
[14:10:00] Merlin83b: An Uzi 9mm, Juski.
[14:10:00] Juski: softies are blaming the hardware now... ping, pong
[14:10:00] Beirdo: you shouldn't need much termination on those lines

[14:11:00] Juski: Beirdo: but there's none.. should be about 82 Ohms
[14:11:00] Juski: sorry 22 Ohms
[14:13:00] Beirdo: I don't think we EVER used termination to our flash devices
[14:13:00] Beirdo: how badly is it overshooting/ringing?
[14:13:00] ** Beirdo is an embedded software dude, primarily, but knows his hardware sufficiently :) **
[14:14:00] Juski: this is an IDE flash, so the interface needs to follow IDE interface rules
[14:15:00] Juski: impossible to say how bad it's overshooting/ringing – some bastard is hogging both good 'scopes
[14:15:00] laga: shoot him
[14:15:00] Beirdo: heh
[14:16:00] Juski: but it this way – our IDE bus analyser is sometimes showing different data for the same access
[14:16:00] Beirdo: heh
[14:16:00] Beirdo: OK, that's not a good thing for sure :)
[14:16:00] Beirdo: kick your cow-worker in the head and steal a scope :)
[14:17:00] Beirdo: hehe
[14:17:00] Juski: I'll just soak him in IPA & set light to him instead
[14:17:00] Juski: that'll teach the twat
[14:17:00] Beirdo: IPA?
[14:17:00] Beirdo: as in India Pale Ale?
[14:17:00] Juski: isopropyl alcohol
[14:17:00] Beirdo: no wasting fine beer?
[14:17:00] Beirdo: OK
[14:17:00] Beirdo: whew
[14:18:00] laga: beer
[14:18:00] laga: yummy
[14:18:00] Beirdo: it's not something silly like pull-up resistors on the lines that are too small in value or something is it?
[14:18:00] Juski: no oullups
[14:18:00] Beirdo: K :)
[14:18:00] Beirdo: that one catches some people
[14:19:00] Juski: waiting to speak to the manufacturer to see what their opinion is
[14:19:00] Beirdo: too strong or too weak a pullup can cause interesting results :)
[14:19:00] Juski: metastablity, that'd be called ;)
[14:19:00] Beirdo: hehe, yup
[14:19:00] Beirdo: fun stuff

[14:20:00] Beirdo: not bad
[14:21:00] Juski: better than 300m of video RG58 anyway ;)
[14:21:00] Beirdo: heheh
[14:21:00] Beirdo: it uses lvds or what?
[14:21:00] Beirdo: or do they say?
[14:21:00] Juski: it's differential yeh
[14:21:00] Beirdo: coolness
[14:21:00] Juski: 'they' = me
[14:21:00] Beirdo: oh, you designed it?
[14:22:00] Beirdo: nice stuff
[14:22:00] Juski: I snaffled a basic schematic off the interweb & built the circuits
[14:22:00] Beirdo: cool
[14:22:00] Juski: got it running off single rail supplies without messy potential dividers on the opamp inputs too
[14:23:00] Beirdo: :)
[14:23:00] Beirdo: good
[14:23:00] Juski: split +12V to +/- 6V using a 6V regulator
[14:24:00] Juski: does away with the need for decoupling capacitors, too
[14:24:00] Beirdo: ahhh
[14:24:00] Juski: and each end fits in a box the size of a ciggy packet
[14:24:00] Beirdo: so the + of the regulator is your circuit ground
[14:24:00] Beirdo: nice
[14:24:00] Juski: Beirdo: spot on
[14:24:00] Beirdo: I wouldn't have thought of doing it that way

[14:25:00] Beirdo: geek on :)
[14:25:00] Beirdo: as long as the 12V supply is stable, that should work pretty well

[14:26:00] Beirdo: if some dillhole hooks up 9V instead of 12V, it could give interesting results :)
[14:27:00] Juski: opamps used are Elantec 2044

[14:28:00] Juski: Beirdo: good enough for our DVRs
[14:28:00] Beirdo: make us an ASIC :)

[14:29:00] fryfrog: tubes are back you say?
[14:29:00] fryfrog: heck yeah!
[14:29:00] Juski: analogue, not _antique_
[14:29:00] Beirdo: tubes have never been out in some circles :)
[14:29:00] Beirdo: still makes the best amplifiers
[14:29:00] Beirdo: and they are good as space-heaters too
[14:29:00] Juski: hmmm I beg to differ there. I like my HF audible, thanks
[14:29:00] fryfrog: amps?? PFFFT, tubes still make the best computers and house heaters!!!
[14:30:00] Beirdo: Juski, I wasn't referring to ham radio :)
[14:30:00] Beirdo: guitar amps..
[14:30:00] Beirdo: tubes rule
[14:30:00] Juski: try doing a D-A convert with valves ;)
[14:30:00] Beirdo: hehehe
[14:30:00] Beirdo: that would be one huge-ass hot DAC
[14:31:00] Juski: 5.1 channel tube amp... takes 500Watts, and that's just the DAC
[14:31:00] fryfrog: hhaha
[14:31:00] Beirdo: well, DAC you can do with resistors anyways
[14:31:00] Beirdo: it's ADC that gets truly bitchy
[14:32:00] Juski: well time to go make a little bodge adapter...
[14:32:00] Juski: afk

[15:59:00] mocker_: Beirdo: Yo.
[15:59:00] fryfrog: i tried that before
[15:59:00] Beirdo: not if it uses the same lineup as the old card
[15:59:00] fryfrog: i need something a little more detailed
[15:59:00] Beirdo: mocker_: heya. nice _
[15:59:00] mocker_: Ack.
[15:59:00] defaultro: Hey Beirdo, how are you?
[15:59:00] mocker_: Wonder what the deal is.
[16:00:00] praet: defaultro: ou can use the existing linup
[16:00:00] Beirdo: tired, busy, but OK :)
[16:00:00] Juski: laga, confusi0n: http://jusftp.no-ip.org/downloads/juskizap.tar.bz2
[16:00:00] defaultro: is there such line up in zap2it for comcast?
[16:00:00] ** mocker_ | [10:00] Irssi uptime: 124d 16h 14m 21s **
[16:00:00] defaultro: thanks for the reply :D
[16:00:00] fryfrog: defaultro: I think that you would have to build your own line up, using their xmltv ids or something
[16:00:00] Beirdo: hey, no problem
[16:00:00] defaultro: and mythtv knows which card to use to record programs assuming it was conflicting previously, right?
[16:00:00] mocker_ is now known as mcoker
[16:00:00] mcoker is now known as mocker
[16:00:00] fryfrog: defaultro: cause as far as I can tell, it doesn't "line up" automagically
[16:01:00] defaultro: you have to uncheck it in zap2it
[16:01:00] defaultro: i might get disconnected, f**k
[16:01:00] praet: defaultro: try zap2it labs and walk through the questions to find available linups in yuor area
[16:01:00] fryfrog: Probably using the OTA schedule and mapping it to the rigth channel numbers would be the way to go, since there aren't many hd chans besides the big 5 or 11 or what
[16:01:00] defaultro: i've done that
[16:01:00] t00m: how do tell nuvexport where the recordings directory is?
[16:01:00] defaultro: my question was only about the second tuner
[16:01:00] Beirdo: it asks the database, t00m
[16:01:00] defaultro: if i need to add a new lineup
[16:01:00] defaultro: :D

[16:02:00] Beirdo: nice :)
[16:02:00] fryfrog: google for dbox returns a lot of stuff, very unrelated to eachother
[16:02:00] Beirdo: now all the people in India can use VoIP to annoy us :)
[16:02:00] fryfrog: is dbox a cable box?
[16:02:00] fryfrog: a software debugger?
[16:03:00] t00m: Beirdo: which table do i have to change? don't want to switch on tv for 10secs
[16:03:00] mocker: Flash Operator Panel is awesome.
[16:03:00] defaultro: so fryfrog, there is comcast lineup in zap2it?
[16:03:00] fryfrog: "dbox is a multidisciplinary collective encompassing photography, design and creative direction."
[16:03:00] Juski: dbox2 is a cable box, haxx0r3d to run linux
[16:03:00] Beirdo: it'd be in settings
[16:03:00] Beirdo: somewhere
[16:03:00] fryfrog: defaultro: depends on if you mean HDTV or normal cable?
[16:04:00] defaultro: oh ok
[16:04:00] t00m: RecordFilePrefix
[16:04:00] t00m: thx Beirdo
[16:04:00] Beirdo: that sounds right :)
[16:04:00] Beirdo: no prob
[16:04:00] stf28: Juski: what's the alias number into the dev folder
[16:04:00] defaultro: if both but i don't have digital, just regular QAM
[16:04:00] Beirdo: QAM THIS!
[16:04:00] Juski: stf28: no idea
[16:04:00] fryfrog: ap2it does have the HDTV channels
[16:04:00] Juski: try in #dvb, sft28
[16:04:00] defaultro: ok
[16:05:00] fryfrog: but of course, on cable they are like channel 841 but in myth its like 2#56 or something
[16:05:00] stf28: Juski: what shoud i to to wotrk withc this device !?!
[16:05:00] Juski: you can have letters in frequency IDs?
[16:05:00] stf28: Juski: what shoud i to to wotrk with this device !?!
[16:06:00] Juski: stf28: get some drivers.
[16:06:00] defaultro: so that means, for comcast, I would have to add a new zip code coz I currently have OTA lineup
[16:06:00] stf28: Juski: can you be more explicatif
[16:07:00] fryfrog: defaultro: i dunno, i never got my air2pc card working how i wanted
[16:07:00] defaultro: oh, ouch
[16:07:00] defaultro: i might be hitting the same wal
[16:07:00] defaultro: wall
[16:07:00] fryfrog: defaultro: my ideas are just guesses, but it boiled down to creating a new line up with zap2it, running a myth channel scan, then using that new (with hdtv only chans) and editing the DB channel entries
[16:08:00] Juski: stf28: you need device drivers loaded for the card to work. try googling for a setup guide for your card on your distro of linux
[16:08:00] defaultro: i just dry ran the zap2it, then i only see the 98 regular channels
[16:08:00] fryfrog: so i'd manually find that channel 5#2 was ABC HD, then make the channel number 802 to match comcasts
[16:08:00] mocker: Beirdo: Oh, I had a question that maybe you'll know. Is there any way in Myth to jump specifically to an application? My new remote has keys like 'My Music'. It would be cool to jump right to mythmusic when pressed.
[16:08:00] defaultro: in my case, i don't have digital comcast
[16:08:00] stf28: Juski: I kwon i need to use the ttpci but when i do a modprob of this module nothing append
[16:08:00] mocker: I searched the keys.txt but didn't find anything.
[16:08:00] Beirdo: mocker: never looked, but I think there's a way to do that
[16:08:00] defaultro: but i heard back in May last year, we can capture some HD via QAM
[16:08:00] fryfrog: defaultro: the line up you pick in zap2it doesn't matter
[16:09:00] Beirdo: I just leave my setup with defaults
[16:09:00] defaultro: ok
[16:09:00] Beirdo: but I think I heard someone talking about that before
[16:09:00] fryfrog: defaultro: i pick one that has the HDTV chans (that matches), then uncheck EVERYTHING but the hdtv chans... that way its not got much in it
[16:09:00] Juski: stf28: then maybe your kernel doesn't have that module available. it might be time to roll your own kernel
[16:09:00] defaultro: ok
[16:10:00] defaultro: so that means, I should select comcast digital in zap2it then uncheck things that I don't need
[16:10:00] fryfrog: in theory
[16:10:00] fryfrog: but again, i never finished it :)
[16:10:00] fryfrog: i was able to tune hdtv in livetv, but had no good lineup bound so it wasn' tused
[16:10:00] defaultro: gotcha
[16:10:00] fryfrog: maybe i'll try again in a week or so
[16:11:00] defaultro: i'll order Fusion HDTV5 Lite version
[16:11:00] Beirdo: sorry, mocker, can't be of much help there
[16:11:00] defaultro: it's just $99
[16:11:00] fryfrog: at first i was going to change the xmltv ids, but now that i think, it ight be easier to just change the channel to the right one
[16:11:00] defaultro: as compared to my $168 air2pc
[16:11:00] fryfrog: defaultro: how is driver support, the air2pc's is *IN* the kernel now
[16:11:00] defaultro: it is in 2.6.15
[16:11:00] fryfrog: ah, spiffy
[16:11:00] defaultro: Lite is much more supported than gold
[16:11:00] defaultro: but gold works too
[16:12:00] fryfrog: except that 0.4.0 and 0.4.1 don't compile in 2.6.15 :/
[16:12:00] defaultro: the driver is still newer
[16:12:00] defaultro: what's the 0.4.1?
[16:12:00] fryfrog: what is the diff between lite and gold?
[16:12:00] fryfrog: ivtv sorry
[16:12:00] defaultro: remote control
[16:12:00] confusi0n: Juski: thanks a lot for that, does it work then? so all i'd need is a general purpose capture card? not a dvb card? if they're inexpensive and this works i will pick one up asap. one question though, if you're taking it to a capture card wont a channel change result in the dbox epg crap showing on the screen rather than mythtv's?
[16:12:00] fryfrog: do you have pvr250?
[16:12:00] defaultro: i've never used ivtv
[16:12:00] fryfrog: ah
[16:12:00] confusi0n: sorry for th elong post, lol
[16:12:00] defaultro: nope
[16:12:00] fryfrog: what tv cards do you use?
[16:12:00] defaultro: just air2pc
[16:12:00] fryfrog: bttv?
[16:13:00] defaultro: i used the dvb
[16:13:00] fryfrog: i'm confused
[16:13:00] defaultro: it's just emulation
[16:13:00] fryfrog: you already have hdtv cards?
[16:13:00] defaultro: not real dvb
[16:13:00] defaultro: yep, just one
[16:13:00] defaultro: but am buying a new one
[16:13:00] fryfrog: ahhh
[16:13:00] fryfrog: it recieves hdtv?
[16:13:00] defaultro: yep
[16:13:00] Juski: confusi0n: PVR cards are da best type to get. I picked upa PVR150 for little over £40 on saturday
[16:13:00] defaultro: the Lite does NTSC w/ caption, ATSC
[16:13:00] fryfrog: so why not get the same one?
[16:14:00] defaultro: air2pc is more expensive

[16:34:00] Beirdo: nice
[16:34:00] confusi0n: right
[16:34:00] Juski: edit config.txt first.. put your dbox IP addy in there
[16:34:00] confusi0n: someone send me a pvr card
[16:35:00] confusi0n: will it do something now juski, with no capture card, so i can have it all setup ready?
[16:35:00] Juski: thjen use the getchans script.. it'll save a file called chans.txt
[16:35:00] Juski: then you can use ./dbox2zap with a channel number
[16:35:00] confusi0n: k
[16:36:00] Juski: with offset in config.txt set to '50', to get channel 1 you'd do
[16:36:00] kados: so i bought a hd-3000 pci card a while back because I heard that they would be unavailable after the broadcast flag was passed ... now I've got the card and I'd like to set up a FTA Satellite reciever so I can watch FTA satellite programming ... I've got a directv dish ... anyone know if that will work?
[16:36:00] Juski: ./dbox2zap 501
[16:36:00] Juski: channel 135 would be: ./dbox2zap 50135
[16:36:00] confusi0n: aye

[17:37:00] kcody: disabled it how? by setting the timers to zero, or by disabling dpms?

[17:38:00] GreyFoxx: kcody: Not once , ever
[17:39:00] kcody: love to know how that happened... the way the code reads, if the extension is present, the DPMSEnable and DPMSDisable calls get sent regardless of the startup configuration

[17:40:00] GreyFoxx: All I can tell ya is that I've never had it reactivate on any of my machines
[17:40:00] kcody: it -should- only happen if you watch a stream, go back to the menus, then leave it there without exiting
[17:40:00] GreyFoxx: My myth boxes run 24/7
[17:40:00] adante: hmm, thanks for the advice kcody.. seems odd that it would be a graphics card problem but i'll give it a go
[17:41:00] GreyFoxx: and most of that time they are at the menu after having watched a video

[17:42:00] Silence_ (n=Silence@12-223-108-140.client.insightbb.com) has left #mythtv-users
[17:42:00] GreyFoxx: yes
[17:42:00] GreyFoxx: xset s off
[17:42:00] GreyFoxx: before the call to the window manager
[17:42:00] kcody: GreyFoxx: that's the difference, you're disabling dpms by zeroing the timer
[17:43:00] GreyFoxx: in fact, in my current configs all I'm doing is xset s off, I use to reference dpms directly, but xset s off did the trick so that's all I use
[17:44:00] kcody: 'xset dpms disable' should be sufficient (according to spec) but myth doesn't check for 'disable' at startup
[17:44:00] kcody: and with the xset s off, the xset dpms disable becomes superfluous
[17:44:00] kcody: for your setup, myth is still 'DPMSDisable' and 'DPMSEnable' whenever you enter or exit a stream

[17:45:00] kcody: GreyFoxx: should say 'DPMS Enabled', 'DPMS Disabled'. Doesn't happen if you actually remove the DPMS extension from xorg.conf.
[17:46:00] kcody: see the patch i put in trac for what the correct behavior should be
[17:46:00] GreyFoxx: I don't get that message, but then I don't have a DPMS option in my x config either
[17:46:00] GreyFoxx: I saw that
[17:47:00] kcody: think it'll make it in? i'll need it to implement a proper energy star control panel
[17:47:00] kcody: (that was not a plug to get you to commit it, it was a request for opinion)
[17:47:00] GreyFoxx: Wasn't it rejected? I could totally be thinking of another one
[17:48:00] kcody: there was one that added a simple wakeup event to all LIRC keypresses, that one was (and should have been) rejected
[17:48:00] GreyFoxx: That the one about lirc wakeups ?
[17:48:00] GreyFoxx: ok, that's what I meant
[17:48:00] kcody: i'm talking about ticket 982
[17:49:00] GreyFoxx: ahhh I see it now
[17:49:00] GreyFoxx: I had skimmed and forgot it as I was reading through them this morning :)
[17:49:00] kcody: ;) you're reading a search for new tickets? or are you getting digests?

[18:12:00] a1fa: yeah
[18:12:00] a1fa: i cant believe it supports this lame resolution
[18:12:00] a1fa: 852x480
[18:13:00] a1fa: so i need to buy a 42" HDTV plazma
[18:13:00] a1fa: which cost like what?
[18:13:00] kormoc: 6k to 8k or so
[18:14:00] a1fa: fuck

[19:10:00] _willcooke_: Ah, only for sid...
[19:11:00] laga: _willcooke_: for sid, it has
[19:11:00] JeffATL: 640x480 and 800x600 don't seem to fly – i can get *console* to show up on the TV via s-video though
[19:12:00] confusi0n: if i post a question on the mythtv-dev mailing list
[19:12:00] _willcooke_: laga, got it, OK. Is that FAQ entry ok?
[19:12:00] confusi0n: will i get spat on and drowned in my own own piss?
[19:12:00] laga: _willcooke_: i actually wonder why he only has them for sid. mythtv works spiffily with sarge as well
[19:12:00] _willcooke_: laga, I thought so to
[19:12:00] JeffATL: confusi0n: no – just pissed on and drowned in your own spit :)
[19:12:00] JeffATL: (kidding)
[19:12:00] confusi0n: lol
[19:13:00] confusi0n: no really, is it a question friendly mailing list?
[19:13:00] laga: _willcooke_: that entry looks good. i can't verify it, though, since i only run sarge and ubuntu
[19:13:00] Beirdo: heh :)
[19:13:00] laga: confusi0n: might start with -users first and after two days move on to -dev or so :)

[19:13:00] Beirdo: they put qmgr into a chroot, but no syslog socket in the chroot

[19:24:00] CygnusX1: Does anyone happen to have an nvidia xorg.conf configured such that you can "use the computer" on a monitor and run mythfrontend on a TV?
[19:24:00] Cardoe: Beirdo: well since jarod has ignored my patches to 0-18-fixes to make it work with modular X...
[19:24:00] Beirdo: maybe he's busy
[19:24:00] Cardoe: probably
[19:24:00] Cardoe: so I'm just gonna snap 0.19
[19:25:00] Cardoe: since Chutt said that's a better idea anyway
[19:25:00] Beirdo: OK :)
[19:25:00] Beirdo: hehe
[19:25:00] Beirdo: I ain't gonna argue with him
[19:25:00] Beirdo: and I just use svn up anyways

[19:27:00] Cardoe: Beirdo: as a packager its kinda tough to support infinite code combos

[19:29:00] CygnusX1: praet, Let me qualify that a bit...I might have asked too much. I don't need to use both at once...but, I want to be able th use the computer on the monitor and when I am ready to watch some TV, fire up mythfrontend and send it to the TV.
[19:30:00] Beirdo: hehe, can't help ya there
[19:31:00] Cardoe: damnit
[19:31:00] Cardoe: so I upgraded initscripts
[19:31:00] eiggirC: Cardoe: why not just buy a PVR-150 ?
[19:31:00] Cardoe: and I know I didn't change back the settings that makes it automatically say -y to fsck
[19:31:00] Cardoe: eiggirC: because I have a PVR-150 LP
[19:31:00] Cardoe: because I'm a poor college student
[19:31:00] Cardoe: so if ya wanna get me one ;)
[19:32:00] eiggirC: Cardoe: simile
[19:32:00] Cardoe: ?
[19:32:00] eiggirC: you could get a normal slot cover
[19:33:00] eiggirC: and drill holes
[19:33:00] eiggirC: its not like the covers are in short supply
[19:33:00] jarango: What is the command to consifure the frontend ?
[19:33:00] eiggirC: how good are you with your hands cardoe?
[19:33:00] Cardoe: eiggirC: if I had a drill
[19:33:00] Cardoe: I'll do it sometime when I can go home.
[19:33:00] fryfrog: what man is w/o a drill?
[19:33:00] eiggirC: Cardoe: you'd need a drill press, and probably a dremel too
[19:34:00] eiggirC: Cardoe: in fact a workshop
[19:34:00] Cardoe: fryfrog: a college student with a small apartment?
[19:34:00] fryfrog: bah!
[19:34:00] Cardoe: like I said... when I go home.
[19:34:00] fryfrog: excuses :)
[19:34:00] Cardoe: plus
[19:34:00] Cardoe: it's a lot easier to bitch
[19:34:00] Cardoe: and hope that someone knows where I can aquire one
[19:34:00] Cardoe: ;)
[19:34:00] eiggirC: Cardoe: in the meantime – get funky with cable ties
[19:35:00] Cardoe: eiggirC: around the coax in through the screw hole?
[19:35:00] Cardoe: nothing but net?
[19:36:00] eiggirC: I'd suggest taking the low profile bracket off and store it
[19:36:00] eiggirC: then see if you can use cable ties / slip ties to hold the card in
[19:37:00] jarango: What is the 'mythtv' executable for ?
[19:37:00] laga: jarango: starts mythtv in livetv mode
[19:37:00] eiggirC: and for playing local media
[19:38:00] Cardoe: eiggirC: the LP bracket is off
[19:38:00] laga: really? like mythtv somefile.mpg?
[19:38:00] Cardoe: otherwise it wouldn't fit in the slot
[19:38:00] eiggirC: laga: yeah
[19:38:00] jarango: laga: thks, how about mythfrontend ?
[19:38:00] eiggirC: Cardoe: you could also use the cables to help hold the card in place. Fasten the cables to your desk or something

[19:41:00] eiggirC: Cardoe: gentle is good

[19:42:00] laga: _willcooke_: nice. why do you need the kernel headers?
[19:43:00] _willcooke_: laga, dunno! Good point. I'm confused now!
[19:43:00] ** _willcooke_ tries to remember why they are there **
[19:43:00] laga: _willcooke_: probably nvidia driver or ivtv.
[19:44:00] _willcooke_: laga, Ahh, yes nvidia drivers prolly
[19:44:00] laga: though i can't install linux-headers on my system. at least not last time i checked. i need to investigate again, i think
[19:44:00] _willcooke_: shall I leave it in, or take it out? Cant hurt really
[19:44:00] laga: make a note about how it's useful for ivtv/nvidia etc
[19:45:00] kormoc: jarango, you should run myth via the mythfrontend executable

[19:57:00] _willcooke_: alfa, jarango says there is not .mythtv/mysql.txt file in the myth users home
[19:57:00] a1fa: /etc/mythtv/mysql.txt

[20:06:00] jarango: a1fa: Thanks, why isn't the system fetching it from /etc/mythtv/ ?
[20:08:00] jarango: I have a list of videos that I want to watch with mythvideo plugin. Is this added through the backend or frontend configuration ?
[20:08:00] Jusk1: wooo! my cat5 video sender is in place & works brilliantly now I've established one of my network sockets was wired wrongly
[20:09:00] Jusk1: just need to wire up the scart sockets, put the circuit boards in their boxes and I'm done
[20:10:00] _willcooke_: Jusk1, Cool! what sort of video are you sending? svideo?
[20:10:00] Jusk1: just composite for now.. bloody good though
[20:10:00] Jusk1: good as a direct connection
[20:10:00] _willcooke_: Jusk1, what sort of range?
[20:10:00] Jusk1: dammit... didn't want to zap to channel four right now.. they're sifting thru someone's poo
[20:11:00] _willcooke_: eurgh
[20:11:00] Jusk1: _willcooke_ I tested it over 300m of cat5 today & there was barely any difference  – good to 6.5Mhz
[20:11:00] _willcooke_: WOW!
[20:11:00] jarango: How do I configure mythvideo plugin ?
[20:11:00] Jusk1: over 600m it looked like it'd been on VHS
[20:11:00] _willcooke_: jarango, use the setup screen
[20:11:00] _willcooke_: Jusk1, are you using just one pair
[20:12:00] jarango: _willcooke_: On the frontend or backend ?
[20:12:00] Jusk1: bear in mind though, that it doesn't have any compensation for high frequency losses either
[20:12:00] Jusk1: using all 4 pairs.. svideo takes 2 pairs.. stereo audio the other two
[20:13:00] Jusk1: I'll take a screenshot soon
[20:13:00] _willcooke_: jarango, frontend. For videos, copy the to the mythtv movies directory (by default "movies" I think) then in the fronend go to setup, then video manager. That should refresh the list, then you can "watch videos" and they should all appear
[20:13:00] Jusk1: well maybe tomorrow
[20:13:00] _willcooke_: Jusk1, :) Audio as well eh! Nice!
[20:13:00] Jusk1: not any cop without audio
[20:13:00] _willcooke_: Jusk1, could you lob in another cat5 with the power for your frontend box?
[20:14:00] jarango: _willcooke_: Thanks much
[20:14:00] Jusk1: I could pass power to the box with some decoupling componentry
[20:14:00] _willcooke_: Jusk1, Eeek! Sounds like that could end up with a funny smell
[20:14:00] Jusk1: without losing any pairs
[20:14:00] ** _willcooke_ built a POE for his wifi **
[20:15:00] Jusk1: that's how they do the cat5 senders which pass remote signals
[20:15:00] _willcooke_: Jusk1, have you seen the KAT5 modules, they're pretty cool.
[20:15:00] Jusk1: they cost a bomb for what they're doing though
[20:16:00] _willcooke_: Jusk1, yeah, they're pretty steep
[20:16:00] Jusk1: Keene Electronics.. £200 for £15 worth of components
[20:16:00] _willcooke_: damn my internet is slow today
[20:16:00] Jusk1: when I get round to it I'll publish plans
[20:16:00] _willcooke_: Jusk1, http://www.kat5.tv/index1.html
[20:17:00] Jusk1: aha keith doxey's site
[20:17:00] Jusk1: got the idea from there, found out how to do it without costing arms & legs
[20:17:00] _willcooke_: :)
[20:18:00] _willcooke_: yeah Keith's a nice bloke. I spoke to him when I was getting in to HA, he was really forth coming with good advice
[20:18:00] Jusk1: tell him I was almost after his business.
[20:18:00] _willcooke_: :))
[20:19:00] Jusk1: I costed it right down to a custom screen printed & moulded case
[20:19:00] _willcooke_: Jusk1, I look forward to a demo at LUGR Live
[20:20:00] Jusk1: was thinking about that today – might be necessary actually if I can't get a signal in the hall
[20:20:00] JeffATL: Jusk1: after all – "you can't stop the signal"
[20:20:00] _willcooke_: Jusk1, do you want a gofer? I'm happy to help. I'll bring a few fuck-off aerials with me!
[20:20:00] Jusk1: gonna do a presentation video – a rolling video demo if you will
[20:21:00] Jusk1: hell yeah, Will.. any extra hands will be most appreciated
[20:21:00] Jusk1: I might want to get myself around seeing other things
[20:21:00] _willcooke_: Jusk1, I'm there! I'll bring my frontend and backends along, might be able to convince the wife to let me bring the telly as well!
[20:21:00] Jusk1: shouldn't be any need for that.. I'll be taking a box
[20:22:00] Jusk1: but it might be good to actually
[20:22:00] _willcooke_: Jusk1, suits me!
[20:22:00] _willcooke_: Jusk1, either way, I'll bring whatever you need
[20:22:00] Jusk1: could be kinda overwhelming

[20:48:00] _willcooke_: Jusk1, hold on, I was reading about this just the other day. There is a program that lets you do it....
[20:48:00] Jusk1: I'm googling for it.. but only finding loads of links to lame windows apps
[20:49:00] GreyFoxx: Juski: You can tell Myth to only use X calls for that particular session and take the snapshot that way
[20:50:00] GreyFoxx: that;s how I got all my OSD screenshots
[20:50:00] GreyFoxx: NO_XV=1 mythfrontend
[20:50:00] GreyFoxx: and then in another shell with DISPLAY set, import -window root file.jpg
[20:50:00] wswanson: GreyFoxx: I can't remember, did you do the hack for the ati niveus remote?
[20:51:00] _willcooke_: Jusk1, www.google.co.uk/linux
[20:51:00] GreyFoxx: wswanson: yeah
[20:51:00] Jusk1: aha
[20:51:00] GreyFoxx: I need to sit down and relook at that
[20:51:00] Jusk1: I'll just use the NO_XV=1 thing... cheers GreyFoxx
[20:51:00] _willcooke_: :)
[20:51:00] wswanson: GreyFoxx: did you do anything special with keymapping for mythmusic?
[20:52:00] GreyFoxx: wswanson: Not, not really. I pretty much never use mythmusic
[20:52:00] GreyFoxx: though I'm looking at it right now cause for some reason It's never moving on in my playlist
[20:52:00] GreyFoxx: It plays the same song over and over
[20:52:00] GreyFoxx: if I move ot another song it plays it , but then repeats it again
[20:52:00] Jusk1: I'm so gonna uninstall mythphone.. or else give it some good login details
[20:53:00] wswanson: that would be annoying... i don't have that problem.. the mplayer control problem was more annoying, but I came up with a reasonable keymap for volume control, etc.... I'll let you know if I come up with something for mythmusic mapping
[20:53:00] GreyFoxx: wswanson: I have a input.conf for mplayer which used most of the same controls as myth
[20:53:00] GreyFoxx: http://www.phaze.org/mythtv/input.conf
[20:53:00] GreyFoxx: Keeps the main controls consistent
[20:53:00] wswanson: ah, that sounds more elaborate than what I have... do you have it posted .... voila. thanks

[20:55:00] wswanson: that would be good... i've been dragging your hack from box to box for a while now. i really do like the niveus remote because it is RF with good range and it is cheap.

[23:38:00] Jusk1: rylz: does the /mnt/store directory exist?
[23:38:00] Jusk1: run mythbackend in a terminal window (stop the daemon first) and tell us what errors it spits out

[23:40:00] defII: Jusk1, jp1? is that the name of the manufacturer?
[23:41:00] rylz: Jusk1: it existed, but the write permission was only set for the owner, root, so i temporarily set the write permission for group and others, but i'm still having the same problem
[23:42:00] SqWaw: Jusk1, remotemanager, windows based?
[23:42:00] Jusk1: defII: it's a general term.. some remotes have a connector in the battery compartment (or space to solder one) so you can reprogram them in ways that only more expensive remotes can be done
[23:42:00] Jusk1: SqWaw: apparently RM will now work in Linux
[23:42:00] SqWaw: is there a website?

[23:43:00] SqWaw: ya*
[23:43:00] Jusk1: not that I _want_ to hear about problems... but I wanna fix any that crop up
[23:44:00] Jusk1: SqWaw: my email addy is in the readme file – drop me a mail – guaranteed I'll look into it
[23:44:00] Jusk1: or it may already be fixed.. see the changelog in the latest download
[23:45:00] ** Jusk1 needs to revamp his webshite, but can't be arsed **
[23:45:00] wswanson: here's an interesting scenario... mythtv uses datadirect in the US. I have an SA 3250HD tuner using Firewire, and a Air2PC HD5000 tuner doing ATSC/QAM256 cable. They get different channels, but I can only setup 1 at labs.zap2it.com. Any suggestions?
[23:45:00] Beirdo: you can setup more than one lineup last I looked
[23:45:00] Beirdo: I have 2
[23:46:00] GreyFoxx: I have 2 lineups from different providers under my single zap2it account
[23:47:00] SqWaw: Jusk1, I'm not sure if its just the SVN acting up... as its the SVN, but sometimes when I go to 'Media Library > Music' the progress bar will just stop at one point and stay on the screen. Music will begin playing though.
[23:47:00] SqWaw: and it'll be frozen. I have to kill X to get out of it.
[23:48:00] SqWaw: I'm not sure if the progress bar is theme related or not, but whatever.
[23:49:00] Jusk1: SqWaw: I had it hang up on me at that point the other day... had to kill mythfrontend.. but it restarted fine the next time & every time after that
[23:50:00] SqWaw: Yes, it only happends sometimes
[23:50:00] SqWaw: I dont think its theme related
[23:50:00] wswanson: ah, but you can only setup 1 lineup per source.... and both are the same provider, but allow me to get different channels

[23:50:00] Jusk1: SqWaw: probably right ;) (I hope so)
[23:50:00] SqWaw: Lol
[23:51:00] Jusk1: next update. more will be widened.. like the search 'lists' function
[23:51:00] wswanson: you cannot setup two lineups from the same provider/source with different available channels
[23:51:00] SqWaw: otherwise no problems, there used to be a problem with the program details screen, but i just checked and apparently you fixed it
[23:51:00] Jusk1: and the 4:3 theme probably needs some attention to
[23:51:00] Jusk1: at this rate I'm gonna need some sort of version tracking system
[23:53:00] SqWaw: ur theme should be into the myththemes sv
[23:53:00] SqWaw: n

[23:53:00] Jusk1: maybe it's a bit young for that yet.. or maybe it's too damn big
[23:54:00] Jusk1: dunno how big the other themes are... suspect mine is bigger than the others put together
[23:54:00] SqWaw: well anyhow its nice. you try making an osd yet?
[23:54:00] Jusk1: not _yet_
[23:54:00] SqWaw: LOL
[23:54:00] SqWaw: well for now, your theme+ the new isthmus is a pretty good combo
[23:55:00] SqWaw: isthmus is a bit bright though, thats why i like ur grey theme
[23:55:00] SqWaw: so u should make a grey osd
[23:57:00] znoG: anyone have MythTV working with a BT878 based card?
[23:57:00] wswanson: znoG, a long time ago
[23:57:00] GreyFoxx: SqWaw: vThere is one
[23:57:00] SqWaw: can't say that *I* do....
[23:57:00] SqWaw: ew?
[23:57:00] znoG: nice, good, i'm getting one tomorrow so I'm keeping my hopes up of getting it working well with MythTV :)
[23:57:00] SqWaw: GreyFoxx, project grayhem osd?
[23:58:00] GreyFoxx: No, but a Gray-OSD that fits in nicely with it :)
[23:58:00] GreyFoxx: http://www.phaze.org/mythtv/osd/
[23:58:00] ** SqWaw quickly looks at his themes directory **
[23:58:00] Beirdo: GreyFoxx, ever use symon on OpenBSD?
[23:58:00] GreyFoxx: there are several screenshots too, the higher the number the newer the screenshot :)

[23:58:00] GreyFoxx: Beirdo: Nope
[23:59:00] Beirdo: aw
[23:59:00] Beirdo: I want to graph the usage of each queue
[23:59:00] kormoc: Beirdo, can't you just setup mysql logging and graph from that?
