[00:03:00] NotLarry: How much necessary?
[00:03:00] kormoc: required
[00:04:00] kormoc: how else can you download the program listings?
[00:05:00] NotLarry: Guess I need to just install windows on the box. All I was looking for was a way to feed tv through the capture card to the screen (maybe a little pause live tv in the process)...
[00:06:00] NotLarry: Right now I don't want the listings or the scheduled recording, etc... Just want to get the tv signal from composit in to VGA out
[00:06:00] kormoc: well, you can do that fine
[00:06:00] NotLarry: Somehow I didn't get that working
[00:06:00] ** NotLarry goes back to the man pages **
[00:06:00] kormoc: mythtv.org's documentation is slightly better...
[00:08:00] simon_c: NotLarry: I had loads of problems actually recording anything with no tv data.
[00:08:00] simon_c: NotLarry: I use mythweb to schedule manual recordings from the avinput on my analogue card
[00:10:00] kormoc: simon_c, he just wants live tv
[00:11:00] juski: livetv? hell even Leadtek's rubbish software can do that ;)
[00:12:00] juski: found out that episode I thought I'd missed.. I actually hadn't.. it'd already been watched & deleted, so I just missed the repeat (phew)
[00:12:00] kwilson: Has anyone ever gotten this error? Channel(/dev/video0)::SetColourAttribute(): failed to se t controls, error: No such device
[00:13:00] kwilson: I get this when starting mythbackend
[00:13:00] simon_c: kormoc: aHH
[00:13:00] kwilson: my live tv is not working
[00:13:00] kwilson: basically capture is not working anymore
[00:13:00] juski: kwilson.. does your tuner work outside of mythtv?
[00:13:00] kormoc: kwilson, undo whatever you did to break it
[00:14:00] kwilson: no, cat /dev/video0 > test.mpg yields an empty file
[00:14:00] juski: oops
[00:14:00] kwilson: i wish it was that simple
[00:14:00] juski: one day I'll have a temperamental system & I'll wish I'd never been so glib

[00:17:00] juski: so erm.. what happenned in between it working and now? power-cut or something? ungraceful shutdown? upgrades?
[00:17:00] mchou: kwilson: I ran into this before, but I forgot what I did to fix it. It must have been pretty simple, otherwise I would have remembered

[00:20:00] kwilson: the card is a pvr 150
[00:20:00] juski: wrong ivtv then
[00:21:00] juski: that's a little bug.. remember reading that somewhere
[00:21:00] juski: 150 cards being detected as pvr250...
[00:21:00] kwilson: what should I do?
[00:21:00] juski: what ver. ivtv is it?
[00:22:00] juski: 0.4.2.. damn.. that's pretty new

[00:36:00] mik3: i've noticed commflagging getting progressively less effective here in the us

[00:42:00] mik3: well, it still works very well on about 50% of the channels I record from – the others, well, it has gotten worse steadily over the last few months. 2 channels that come to mind are cbs and spike.
[00:43:00] mik3: i'm not complaining – i guess the broadcasters are just getting "smarter"?

[01:00:00] sphery: but thanks

[01:12:00] jd86: randomly recordings will not record, and i go to play them and it says this recording can not be found, whats up with this
[01:15:00] jd86: and also, the foward, rewind and other buttons do not work while watching videos and thats quite annoying, how do i fix this? 9also does not work with keyboard)
[01:18:00] k-man_: what do you mean when watching a vide?
[01:18:00] k-man_: video?
[01:18:00] k-man_: like not a recording and not live tv?
[01:18:00] k-man_: but in mythvideo?
[01:19:00] k-man_: i believe mythvideo uses mplayer to play videos
[01:20:00] k-man_: so you need to configure mplayer's keys for rewind and ff
[01:20:00] jd86: mythvideo
[01:20:00] jd86: and it is using mplayer
[01:20:00] jd86: and i used a config file which others have used i guess i should review it
[01:21:00] k-man_: where did you put it?
[01:21:00] k-man_: did you try plaing the videos directly with mplayer and testing that your keys work in mplayer?
[01:21:00] jd86: i have it at both /home/tvuser/.lircrc and /home/tvuser/.mythtv/lircrc
[01:22:00] jd86: that'd be a good idea eh?

[01:25:00] redline--: anyone know any good irc chans for dvd ripping/encoding or good tutorials?
[01:25:00] juski: OMFG.. I just don't beleive this. there are now four shows I want to watch at 9pm tomorrow night
[01:26:00] juski: last week there were three, and I could only record 2... need another tuner in that box
[01:26:00] redline--: juski: i think you should cut back on some tv
[01:26:00] juski: and an aerial amp.
[01:26:00] redline--: hehe 4 shows =p your worse than my wife by 2 shows
[01:27:00] juski: redline--: it's ok.. there's bog all else on most of the week

[01:28:00] juski: lost.. bah. I thought '24' was far-fetched
[01:28:00] jd86: anyone have any idea bout the other question?
[01:28:00] juski: jd86: only thing I can think of is that your disk is foo'ed
[01:29:00] juski: recordings don't just vanish
[01:29:00] redline--: they do though juski
[01:29:00] juski: oh no they don't
[01:29:00] sean33 (n=yaknow@gw.neurometrics.net) has joined #mythtv-users
[01:29:00] redline--: im wonder about a couple of recordings ive had that are now gone.
[01:29:00] juski: or rather.. they _shouldn't_
[01:30:00] juski: even if they're expired by mythtv, the DB entries for them will be gone too
[01:30:00] jd86: juski: they don't start
[01:30:00] juski: so you should _never_ experience 'cannot find' problems
[01:31:00] juski: ah.. so the DB entry is there but there's no file
[01:31:00] jd86: juski: its like i've watched it and as it started to record it just creates it and then doesn't go red and record
[01:31:00] redline--: cannot find problems will happen with the current svn if you had .18 installed prior
[01:31:00] juski: that's not the same as a recording vanishing though
[01:31:00] jd86: then i worded the question wrong
[01:31:00] jd86: it was never there in the first place
[01:31:00] jd86: it creates entry and then doesn't have a file to go with it
[01:31:00] jd86: sorry for the mis communication

[01:31:00] juski: never experienced that problem either though
[01:31:00] redline--: jd i think its a bug in the current svn
[01:32:00] jd86: redline--: any reason it selects my favorite shows not to record?
[01:32:00] juski: and all the testing I've done of svn was mostly superficial
[01:32:00] redline--: no, ive seen it supposedly record but never do it
[01:33:00] jd86: could it have to do with a misconfiguration?
[01:33:00] redline--: my wife is recording american idol now ill check after its done to see if its there
[01:33:00] juski: is this recording during watching live tv?
[01:33:00] redline--: it could possibly, there are new changes that have been made that arent documented yet
[01:33:00] redline--: yea Juski
[01:34:00] juski: that's another thing I've not used much.. live tv
[01:34:00] redline--: i got the OSD for recording and then select record and watch but it never records
[01:34:00] juski: can't.. when most of the shows I want to watch are on at the same time, or at awkward times ;)
[01:34:00] jd86: i never use live tv
[01:34:00] jd86: but i might ahve to now
[01:34:00] jd86: because of this problem
[01:35:00] redline--: ../dev/vg/video 340G 46G 295G 14% /video =)
[01:35:00] juski: you do realise to expect problems using SVN though...
[01:36:00] redline--: yes I do
[01:36:00] redline--: the most recent as of last night fixed several funky issues
[01:36:00] redline--: and the new README in svn says its .19 now
[01:36:00] redline--: also ./configure shows "release" as the type
[01:37:00] juski: I tend to get pissed off if things don't record when I expect them to, so I stuck with 0.16, 0.18.. it's bad enough when the schedules get screwed up
[01:37:00] juski: feature freeze
[01:37:00] juski: any changes will be bug fixes until the actual release
[01:38:00] redline--: I really like myth and its potential, im just getting my wife to like it now, i pulled my media center box and replaced it with a myth frontend
[01:38:00] juski: how bad was MCE?
[01:38:00] juski: (or good) ?
[01:39:00] redline--: mce is nice for regular tv
[01:39:00] redline--: it was polished
[01:39:00] redline--: but...
[01:39:00] juski: I don't think I could live with it only supporting 2 SD tuners though
[01:39:00] redline--: no commercial flagging
[01:39:00] redline--: and you can not record digital tv casue MS blocks all digital content as copy protected
[01:40:00] juski: what?!
[01:40:00] redline--: yeap
[01:40:00] redline--: couldnt record hbo or show time
[01:40:00] juski: HD & SD?
[01:40:00] redline--: would always freeze up on thise channels
[01:40:00] redline--: sd
[01:40:00] redline--: sd digital
[01:41:00] juski: that's very sucky
[01:41:00] redline--: then i tried to use vista beta 2 which has the most current MCE code
[01:41:00] juski: same thing, but worse?
[01:41:00] jd86: when i get back from vacation i'll do svn update
[01:41:00] redline--: and when i switched to sd digital i got a blue screen saying it was protected digital content
[01:42:00] juski: isn't that just cos of the broadcast flag though?
[01:42:00] redline--: broadcast flags arent even legal yet
[01:42:00] juski: we don't have that here, and it's not likely we will
[01:42:00] redline--: that has been delayed until summer of 2006
[01:42:00] juski: but M$ are checking for it.. they must be
[01:43:00] juski: so erm.. can you pause digital TV?
[01:43:00] redline--: and if.. you already have a non flagged tuner you wont even be affected by it
[01:43:00] blackcamera: I've looked and searched everywhere, i'm using fc4, with a pvr-150. When i try to watch live tv through myth i get my log filled up with lines like ... 006-01–25 19:28:01.580 RemoteFile::Read() failed in RingBuffer::safe_read().
[01:43:00] blackcamera: Couldn't read file: rbuf://127.0.0.1:6543/movies/buffer/ringbuf1.nuv
[01:43:00] redline--: chmod 777 /movies
[01:44:00] juski: yup
[01:44:00] redline--: juski you cant even watch digital tv
[01:44:00] juski: but I thought that was one of MCE's selling points... have up to 2 SD & one HD tuner.. watch/record the lot
[01:45:00] juski: I'm shocked... I thought it'd be restrictive but not that bad...
[01:45:00] ** juski hugs his mythtv box gently **
[01:45:00] redline--: sure 2 sd channels 2–99(non digital) and HD (certain stations like fox and cbs abc)
[01:46:00] redline--: im sure if oyu switched to hd-hbo it would be blocked
[01:46:00] juski: but you can't get HBO over the air, right?

[01:47:00] redline--: thtis is the whole reason I am here now is casue of all that crap with MS MCE
[01:47:00] blackcamera: after chomoding to 777, i restarted the backend and the front end, with the same errors. using ivtv 0.4.2, i can get a picture with mplayer /dev/video0
[01:47:00] juski: hell – they should make a plugin thing.. hardware dongle/CAM or something so you're at least entitled to record the encrypted stream & decode it on playback.. or something
[01:47:00] redline--: i really didnt have time to dedicate to myth witha 14 month old and wife nagging me all the time so iwanted easy with MS
[01:48:00] redline--: after i saw that i formated the disk and installed gentoo
[01:48:00] juski: blackcamera: have you set the capture card type in mythtv-setup to be 'mpeg encoder card (PVR250/350)' ? that's what you need for the pVR150, 250, 350 etc

[01:54:00] redline--: 1080P is

[01:55:00] redline--: I know what yea mean
[01:55:00] juski: anyway UK HDTV will be mpeg4. try decoding that on a 3GHz machine, even with xvmc

[03:12:00] xris: personally, I prefer the right amount of meat... like none.
[03:12:00] mchou: haha!!
[03:12:00] ** xris has an awesome thai peanut bbq tofu recipe **
[03:12:00] mchou: I dont like too much meat.....
[03:14:00] kormoc: mchou, it's not that it's bad, it's just standard fast cooked bbq, and the sauce is a bit... bitter.
[03:14:00] kormoc: xris, you should share that one :)
[03:14:00] xris: kormoc: I'll try to remember to bring in the book so you can copy it
[03:15:00] Krazylegz: xris: You should get on my mom's Netflix friends list.
[03:15:00] xris: kormoc: ok, building ffmpeg from cvs today with your use flags
[03:15:00] xris: will see if it can handle ts
[03:15:00] kormoc: kk, hopefully it shall

[03:17:00] Krazylegz: You could eat a Big Horn Salad at The Ram.
[03:17:00] xris: not a big fan of salads
[03:17:00] Krazylegz: I should refuse to eat meat too. Just vegetables and desserts.
[03:17:00] xris: haha

[03:22:00] Krazylegz: Yeah, soldierly.

[03:25:00] robperkins: ah, ok, that is what i am using now.
[03:25:00] robperkins: but the version i have is dog slow using ffmpeg
[03:25:00] xris: robperkins: turn off denoise
[03:25:00] xris: it's always slow.
[03:25:00] xris: linux encoders suck for speed
[03:25:00] Mayol: hmm
[03:25:00] robperkins: right, that doesnt work for me anyway.
[03:25:00] Mayol: ffmpeg is good,
[03:26:00] Mayol: tried to find a good encoder for mpeg4 3gp
[03:26:00] xris: robperkins: why not?
[03:26:00] Mayol: that could encode with cbr
[03:27:00] xris: why would you want cbr?
[03:27:00] Mayol: take a guess =)

[04:38:00] Captain_Murdoch: dtm, and what do you expect it to do?
[04:38:00] hpAuto: non of the preview pictures load on my mythweb eather
[04:38:00] Captain_Murdoch: you have to tell it to skip unless you turn on auto-skip. and it doesn't remove the commercials, it just lets you skip them.
[04:39:00] a1fa: yup
[04:39:00] a1fa: thats the bug
[04:39:00] a1fa: :P
[04:39:00] a1fa: i let it record a show
[04:39:00] a1fa: but it kept recording
[04:39:00] dtm: Captain_Murdoch: Hmmmmmmm........ Well... I expect commercial skipping to probably skip the commercials.
[04:40:00] dtm: Captain_Murdoch: oh what now? it doesn't edit them out?
[04:40:00] Captain_Murdoch: no, you have to copy the commercial skip list to the cutlist and run transcode or nuvexport to actually cut them out of the video.
[04:40:00] dtm: Captain_Murdoch: by what means do i skip them? does that only work for mythtv's inline playback?
[04:41:00] Captain_Murdoch: the skip list is just for skipping, it doesn't modify the file, it just allows you to skip the commercials during playback (within Myth)
[04:41:00] dtm: Captain_Murdoch: there's no way to get it to edit them out, is there? or to create an EDL for mencoder?

[04:47:00] dtm: Captain_Murdoch: i have 0.18.x
[04:49:00] Captain_Murdoch: dtm, well, with 0.19, you'll be able to use "mythcommflag --gencutlist" to copy the commercial skip list to the cutlist, then "mythcommflag --getcutlist" to display the cutlist, you can capture the cutlist and create a EDL file if you want.
[04:49:00] Captain_Murdoch: I should add a --getskiplist so you can bypass the first step and just get the skip list directly. :)

[04:57:00] dtm: Nothingman: i dunno. i just signed up the other day.  :)
[04:57:00] Captain_Murdoch: strict requires blank to be more uniform and dark, non-strict requires just blank (ie, all one color, but with wider leeway than strict). also, strict requires commercial lengths to be closer to 30sec, 60sec, etc. exactly but non-strict gives a little leeway in the lengths.
[04:57:00] dtm: Captain_Murdoch: <voice type="spock"> Fascinating, captain. </voice>

[06:18:00] mchou: defaultro: when you bought the Fusion, it came with no other accessories other than the card, correct?
[06:18:00] defaultro: i have to upgrade or downgrade my wireless phone
[06:18:00] defaultro: yep
[06:18:00] defaultro: it's the lite version
[06:18:00] mchou: like it didnt have a remote control or anything......
[06:18:00] defaultro: just cd and audio wire
[06:18:00] defaultro: nope
[06:19:00] defaultro: the gold comes with the remote
[06:19:00] mchou: defaultro: ok. I think I'm gonna buy the snapstream bundle
[06:19:00] defaultro: what is it
[06:19:00] mchou: $107 shipped with mce remote

[06:21:00] defaultro: do you watch 24?
[06:21:00] mchou: yup. just saw this wks episode
[06:21:00] defaultro: cool huh ;)
[06:21:00] nanoITX: So, I have jerky HD playback on a monitor with 720p and 1080i material using HW MPEG2 decoding on a CN400 via openchrome. Any suggestions?
[06:21:00] mchou: 24 is getting old for me though. Where is House MD???
[06:22:00] defaultro: i didn't have any recording
[06:22:00] defaultro: ah, american idol 2 hrs
[06:22:00] defaultro: nano, weak cpu prolly
[06:22:00] nanoITX: I can't get the monitor vsync rate to match the material (too slow at 720 25fps)
[06:22:00] defaultro: i don't have any issues with HD :)
[06:22:00] nanoITX: defaultro: got a modeline I could look at?
[06:22:00] defaultro: hmmm
[06:22:00] defaultro: depends on your card too
[06:23:00] defaultro: am running at 1920x1080
[06:23:00] nanoITX: CN400, on an LCD right now.
[06:23:00] defaultro: couldn't remember where i had it
[06:23:00] defaultro: mine is crt
[06:23:00] defaultro: rear projection crt
[06:23:00] mchou: nanoITX: lol, on an LCD, no wonder
[06:23:00] mchou: get a real tube man :)
[06:23:00] nanoITX: Well the CN400 will do 1920x1080 but the LCD monitor won't do better than 1280x1024
[06:23:00] defaultro: mchou, btw, on July/August, I'm going to buy a CRT projector :D
[06:24:00] mchou: defaultro: nice, which one?
[06:24:00] defaultro: either marquee 8500 or barco 808
[06:24:00] nanoITX: mchou: I have one, but don't quite want to burn the Sony if I fuck up.
[06:24:00] defaultro: they said, it can take 720p 960p and 1080i
[06:24:00] defaultro: even 1080p but still on the works
[06:25:00] defaultro: am building a dedicated ht in the basement
[06:25:00] mchou: defaultro: hmm, nice. How $ do those babies run these days?
[06:25:00] nanoITX: mchou: I can understand pixel latency on the LCD, but the driver shouldn't be dropping frames, no?
[06:25:00] defaultro: some are $1400-$2000, depending on the bulb
[06:25:00] defaultro: some are $1000
[06:25:00] mchou: nanoITX: frame drops are not an LCD problem :)
[06:25:00] nanoITX: right.
[06:25:00] defaultro: i also see some guys at avsforum that they got theirs for $700
[06:25:00] mchou: defaultro: really?? did they say where?
[06:26:00] defaultro: avsforum thread, crt channel
[06:26:00] nanoITX: so why am I dropping frames if the CPU is not saturated?
[06:26:00] defaultro: you can also search at videogon.com
[06:26:00] defaultro: looks like am gonna buy at curt palmes
[06:26:00] nanoITX: the CN400 is doing H/W decoding and I'm pegged at around 30% CPU for 1080i/
[06:26:00] defaultro: www.curtpalme.com

[06:27:00] defaultro: prolly for another 4 yrs
[06:27:00] defaultro: LOL
[06:28:00] defaultro: as long as it delivers pq
[06:28:00] defaultro: i'm fine with that

[06:30:00] defaultro: it can deliver 1080p without a pain
[06:30:00] defaultro: $10k

[07:13:00] dtm: Captain_Murdoch: ok i'm trying to understand how to use mythcommflag. but i don't.  :) what am i supposed to be able to 'get' or do with what i get?
[07:14:00] dtm: Captain_Murdoch: is that for internal use only until 0.19 when i can create EDL?
[07:14:00] nanoITX: I think I got stable 1080i playback.
[07:14:00] nanoITX: finally!
[07:14:00] kormoc: yeah?
[07:14:00] dtm: nanoITX: well done.
[07:14:00] nanoITX: stupid me... half the time I forgot -V xxmc
[07:15:00] ** nanoITX is a stubbord S.o.B. **
[07:15:00] nanoITX: er, stubborn
[07:15:00] dtm: :/
[07:15:00] kormoc: hehe
[07:15:00] nanoITX: 30% idle too, on the 1.0 GHz Via nano
[07:15:00] kormoc: nice
[07:16:00] nanoITX: so, that's 70% busy... Hmm, a fanless 800 Mhz *might* be able to pull that off: 1-(1–0.3)/0.8=12.5% idle, in theory.
[07:17:00] kormoc: it likely doesn't scale that perfectly
[07:17:00] nanoITX: still loses frames when overlaying OSD, but that's understandable, and Ivor knows about it.
[07:18:00] nanoITX: yeah, 12% was too close for comfort — that's why I got the 1.0 GHz nano. Still, I wanted a *fanless* system, and this thing puts out about 14 DbA with it's fan.
[07:18:00] nanoITX: I'm downloading a few more sample clips at 1080i so I can stress it a bit.
[07:19:00] dtm: nanoITX: i'd like to see what a fanless G4 can do.
[07:19:00] nanoITX: dtm: like an old Mac Cube?
[07:20:00] dtm: nanoITX: yeah or a mac mini or a powerbook
[07:21:00] nanoITX: dtm: I've read that tha mac mini has trouble with HD playback. I had considered it at one point.
[07:21:00] kormoc: mac minis are not fanless
[07:21:00] kormoc: and powerbooks are not fanless as well
[07:21:00] kormoc: nanoITX, it's funny, a external firewire hd is faster then the internal one in the mini :)
[07:21:00] dtm: nanoITX: oic
[07:21:00] dtm: kormoc: the fans are optional.
[07:22:00] kormoc: dtm, not especially, from what I've seen, they just spin slowly most of the time and spin up when they get hot
[07:23:00] dtm: kormoc: ok well you wouldn't be able to hear it anyway
[07:23:00] nanoITX: 14 DbA at 1 meter is pretty good though: about as loud as a whisper. Though, when I see people with 3.5 GHz Intel "burnlikethesun-eons" trying to render 1080i in software, I chucle at my little CN400 and 1 Ghz nano
[07:23:00] dtm: nanoITX: wheee
[07:23:00] kormoc: dtm, you can when they spin up
[07:23:00] ** nanoITX still wants fanless. **
[07:23:00] ** kormoc shrugs **
[07:24:00] nanoITX: I had disconnected the fan at one point to see how hot the proc got running full speed, but chickened out at 70C.
[07:24:00] Chutt: my xp-m 2200+ machine (current production mythbox) is quieter than my old via m10000 (old production mythbox)
[07:24:00] kormoc: nanoITX, my 2.4 ghz p4 can do 1080i in software without too much stress, you only need 2 ghz to software 1080i
[07:24:00] dtm: why does xine suddenly say it doesn't have a demuxer for some of my .nuv files which are just mpeg2/mp3 from my hardware codec, and which it could play earlier today?
[07:24:00] Chutt: same case for both machines.
[07:24:00] mchou: Chutt: really?
[07:24:00] Chutt: no, i'm lying
[07:25:00] Chutt: of course it is :p
[07:25:00] nanoITX: kormoc: I was pulling a number out of my A**. Your 2.4 ghz P4 draws how many megawatts?
[07:25:00] kormoc: Chutt, cpu fan? or perhaps northbridge ?
[07:25:00] Chutt: they both only had a cpu fan
[07:25:00] nanoITX: Stil, I *almost* considered a hushpc with a heatpipe instead
[07:25:00] mchou: Chutt: kind of surprised xp-m would be cooler/quieter than m10000
[07:25:00] Chutt: and the xp-m is something like 6x faster than the m10000
[07:25:00] kormoc: nanoITX, around 80 watts or so iirc
[07:25:00] nanoITX: A heatpipe would be *perfect* for this box.
[07:26:00] nanoITX: kormoc: yeah, just the CPU.
[07:26:00] Chutt: mchou, it's a laptop cpu in a desktop case with a 80mm fan on it :p
[07:26:00] kormoc: nanoITX, well, my little myth shuttle box is only drawing 250 watts total
[07:26:00] nanoITX: It does suck that this needs a fan at all.
[07:26:00] Chutt: oh, and i undervolted it a bit
[07:26:00] mchou: Chutt: heh, that make a tad more sense :)
[07:26:00] Chutt: i bought a new tiny case for the m10000, but it sounds like an airplane
[07:27:00] Chutt: and i never felt like buying a 3rd replacement cpu fan for the m10000
[07:27:00] nanoITX: kormoc: well *my* little myth box in a Silverstone LC08 case draws less than 60 watts total and can still render 1080i in real time.
[07:27:00] ** nanoITX questions the wisdom of this "mine is smaller than yours" contest. **
[07:27:00] kormoc: nanoITX, 1080i while commflagging and transcoding?
[07:27:00] nanoITX: I'm just happy it's working.
[07:28:00] nanoITX: kormoc: naw, just rendering and deinterlacing.
[07:28:00] nanoITX: I let the back end do the heavy stuff.
[07:28:00] mchou: nanoITX: you've never seen the ipod flea, have you?
[07:28:00] kormoc: yeah, I wanted a box that could do it all
[07:28:00] Chutt: i figure i'll upgrade my production box to a nf4 w/ a mobile xp64 at some point
[07:28:00] nanoITX: mchou: no.
[07:28:00] mchou: nanoITX: goggle for it.
[07:28:00] mchou: google*
[07:28:00] kormoc: nanoITX, I'm more just saying that the intel platform isn't /that/ bad for myth
[07:28:00] ** kormoc shrugs **
[07:28:00] Chutt: shouldn't be any warmer, and will be better at doing stuff like goom at hd resolutions
[07:28:00] mchou: nanoITX: it's damn funny :)
[07:29:00] wylie: Chutt: what's goom?
[07:29:00] Chutt: one of the visualizations in mythmusic.
[07:30:00] nanoITX: does the girl come with it?
[07:30:00] dtm: i have manually deleted some of my .nuv files. how do i manually reconcile this with my database? i can't delete it in mythfrontend.
[07:31:00] nanoITX: kormoc: yeah, intel is O.K.
[07:32:00] nanoITX: I was just scared of S/W MPEG2 decoding.
[07:32:00] kormoc: nanoITX, you can get hardware mpeg2 decoding with any nvidia card :)
[07:32:00] nanoITX: kormoc: with open source drivers?
[07:33:00] mchou: kormoc: not any
[07:33:00] kormoc: mchou, okay, any newer one, mx4000+ I beleive?
[07:33:00] dtm: i want to do myth on nintendo64 plz
[07:33:00] kormoc: nanoITX, not yet, I don't beleive
[07:33:00] dtm: i have the 8MB ram upgrade. somebody get on that
[07:33:00] nanoITX: 'course the CN400 is bleeding edge under Linux. (Thanks, Ivor!)
[07:33:00] kormoc: nanoITX, but nvidia's own drive is quite nice.
[07:33:00] nanoITX: I wanted a completely free software solution.... just because.
[07:33:00] Chutt: yeah
[07:34:00] Chutt: because a decompiled binary translated into C is a "completely" free software solution :p
[07:34:00] Chutt: (how the open source via driver started)
[07:34:00] mchou: reverse engineering is OK though :)
[07:34:00] nanoITX: Chutt: openchrome is clean code, and Via opened the base on which it is based, but H/W MPEG2 was ripped out of unichrome.
[07:34:00] Chutt: that's not proper reverse engineering.
[07:35:00] Chutt: nanoITX, it didn't start as clean code.
[07:35:00] nanoITX: how it got free is largely irrelevant to me as long as there is no issue now.
[07:35:00] nanoITX: Besides, reverse enginerring for reasons of interoperability is *still* legal in the U.S.
[07:35:00] mchou: haha, tell that to MSFT :)
[07:36:00] Chutt: but that wasn't reverse engineering :p
[07:36:00] dtm: whether there is no issue now is irrelevant to the potential for it to become an issue in the future
[07:36:00] nanoITX: now, the issue with libdvdcss is another matter...
[07:36:00] nanoITX: dtm: er, via freed the root of the fork, so it's free now and forever.
[07:36:00] dtm: nanoITX: s w e e t
[07:37:00] nanoITX: at least, AFAIK.
[07:37:00] nanoITX: but, the "official" unichrome drivers don't have Ivor's XvMC VLD MPEG2 decoding support
[07:37:00] nanoITX: hence, openchrome.
[07:37:00] dtm: i'm sure lots of embedded manufacturers have performed illegal use of gpl code anyway so maybe we'll have a standoff ;)
[07:38:00] dtm: mutually assured destruction
[07:38:00] kormoc: dtm, proving it is the problem
[07:38:00] dtm: ;]
[07:38:00] nanoITX: dtm: when I worked at Teradyne, we developed a product with GPL code. It was fun inviting RMS to explain the do's and don'ts.
[07:39:00] dtm: haaa. nanoITX did you read the RMS hosting howto first
[07:39:00] nanoITX: What sucked was that we only distributed to about 12 customers (at several $million each) world wide who had no incentive to redistribute.
[07:39:00] dtm: did you obey RMS compatible protocol
[07:39:00] nanoITX: dtm: I *wrote* the RMS hosting howto.

[07:39:00] dtm: nanoITX: you have the cheese?
[07:40:00] dtm: YOU ARE THE KEEPER OF THE CHEESE?
[07:40:00] dtm: yeah that's what i'm referring to lol
[07:40:00] nanoITX: I think we are talking about different things.
[07:40:00] dtm: what else could we possibly be talking about, another RMS?  :)
[07:41:00] nanoITX: It went well: he was there to explain, we were there to ask, but the one ground rule I laid was *NO* debate about the merits or disadvantages of the GPL — we used GPL code, we honoured the license, and that was it.
[07:41:00] dtm: what would make you think that
[07:41:00] dtm: yeah that's wise
[07:41:00] nanoITX: I think you are refering to a different howto on hosting RMS
[07:41:00] nanoITX: ... make sure to have a supply of his favorite teas... and internet access...
[07:42:00] dtm: yeah.
[07:42:00] dtm: i've only heard of one howto
[07:42:00] nanoITX: I had made some changes to syslinux so it could do different installs depending on whether the device was headless, or whether the *yes, wipe out the disk* serial dongle was inserted.
[07:43:00] kormoc: My lug had Jon "Maddog" Hall for a talk, he was quite cool
[07:43:00] dtm: nanoITX: didn't you have an issue with cheese?
[07:43:00] nanoITX: Well, the one on /. was written by me... lemme find the link.
[07:43:00] kormoc: never could get RMS to stop by
[07:43:00] dtm: nanoITX: you didn't have the proper cheeses or something?
[07:43:00] nanoITX: dtm: don't remember.
[07:43:00] dtm: k
[07:43:00] nanoITX: Proper *teas*

[07:48:00] nanoITX: The sad thing is that we never got to really contribute back to the community... just give source to those that paid million$ for binaries.
[07:49:00] nanoITX: And, having paid those million$, they weren't about to redistribute.

[07:56:00] nanoITX: I respect the man because he is so damn stubborn and pigheaded in his belief. This does not mean I agree with his phililosophy: Both Free code and Microsoft can exist, and there is a place for both. Of course, caveat emptor.
[08:00:00] dtm: the law provides a framework of balance between the rights of the individual/corporation vs. the rights of the collective public. but grassroots efforts will always be required in order to remove the profit from corruption, and that grassroots mentality will always require hypervigilant, although not zealous, leadership
[08:00:00] nanoITX: 250 of 454 MB downloaded (a NASA 1080i shuttle launch)
[08:00:00] dtm: ooo cool
[08:00:00] nanoITX: yes.
[08:00:00] dtm: so what's that, five minutes?  ;)
[08:00:00] nanoITX: I wish. I have 1.5 Mb/s x 384 Kb/s DSL.
[08:01:00] nanoITX: Yes, a cable modem would be faster.
[08:01:00] nanoITX: No, comcast won't give me a static IP address.
[08:01:00] dtm: so my communication with RMS has always been based around rewarding his hypervigilance and innovation but requesting self restraint of zeal ;)
[08:01:00] dtm: nanoITX: no i was suggesting that 454MB gets you 5 mins TRT of HD footage ;)
[08:01:00] nanoITX: Oh, that. Yeah, I suppose.
[08:02:00] dtm: hehehe
[08:02:00] dtm: nanoITX: where are you working now
[08:02:00] nanoITX: I have a 15 second trailer I was using for initial testing, and I wanted someting a bit longer.
[08:02:00] buu: Hrm. This is a weird problem
[08:02:00] nanoITX: dtm: you wouldn't believe me if I told you.
[08:02:00] dtm: i ran 'mythcommflag --all' which has been at almost 100% cpu for the last 42 minutes
[08:02:00] dtm: nanoITX: what, microsoft?
[08:02:00] buu: Well, I'm sure it's not a problem, but I've got a couple of .mpg files in /myth/video
[08:02:00] nanoITX: Let's just say that the devil pays well.
[08:02:00] buu: Then when I go to "play video" from the myth front end screen, it lists nothing
[08:02:00] dtm: :-I
[08:03:00] ** nanoITX feels like a cheap code whore. **
[08:03:00] dtm: nanoITX: what are rights and dignity worth?  :)
[08:03:00] dtm: nanoITX: sounds like you're suggesting those are at stake or for sale
[08:03:00] nanoITX: Nobody is forced to buy Microsoft.
[08:03:00] dtm: yeah, they effectively are. hence the illegal monopoly.
[08:03:00] nanoITX: that's business.
[08:03:00] dtm: heh. geez.
[08:04:00] dtm: that's economic coercion. i.e. force
[08:04:00] nanoITX: It is odd, because I use strictlu free stuff at home.
[08:04:00] nanoITX: dtm: no. "Go code your own". RMS did.
[08:04:00] dtm: nanoITX: ha. he's a software engineer!
[08:04:00] nanoITX: and Linus, and us, and me.
[08:04:00] buu: nanoITX: I'm pretty sure microsoft didn't get convicted of being a monopoly for regular business practices..
[08:05:00] dtm: not me! i'm a sysadmin and volunteer. i utterly depend on you guys.
[08:05:00] nanoITX: I write test software for them.
[08:05:00] nanoITX: business is dirty.
[08:05:00] nanoITX: actually, I write software to manage shared test labs of large numbers of test machines.
[08:05:00] buu: Anyway, am I right in assuming my .mpg files should show up in the video screen for mythfrontend?
[08:05:00] buu: Do I have to add them to a database?
[08:06:00] nanoITX: But. I do feel *unclean* some days.
[08:06:00] buu: That's never a good sign
[08:06:00] nanoITX: Still, never attribute to malice what can be explained by stupidity. Make of that remark what you will.
[08:07:00] dtm: nanoITX: you can't globalize or fully rationalize your personal decisions, sir. you can't have it both ways.
[08:07:00] buu: nanoITX: Less whining, more fixing!
[08:07:00] dtm: nanoITX: i make a nonsequitur of that remark sir :)
[08:08:00] dtm: buu: what video screen?
[08:08:00] dtm: buu: you should get at least a .png
[08:08:00] nanoITX: I am a libertarian. I do not see a natural monopoly as evil, merely inconvenient. So, I see value *both* in Microsoft's offerings as well as free software.
[08:08:00] dtm: a thumbnail
[08:08:00] buu: dtm: When I boot the front end, then click "play videos"
[08:08:00] dtm: nanoITX: they are not a natural monopoly. that's absurd to the extreme.
[08:08:00] buu: Itjust shows me an empty screen with "video/" at the top
[08:08:00] buu: Do I need to update something someplace? Relaunch myth?
[08:08:00] nanoITX: I say they are: Microsoft never put a gun to anyone's head: they just offered deals that were inconvenient to refuse.
[08:09:00] nanoITX: I'd rather not talk about them: I do not speak for them.
[08:09:00] dtm: nanoITX: by loading the market and sabotaging competition
[08:09:00] ** cesman ponders which channel he is in **
[08:09:00] buu: cesman: You are my only hope!
[08:09:00] dtm: nanoITX: yeah and you wouldn't speak rationally for them if you did! so never mind
[08:09:00] nanoITX: fine by me. I am a libertarian.
[08:10:00] cesman: hope for what?
[08:10:00] nanoITX: put another way: if there was no MSF
[08:10:00] buu: cesman: Solving my problems
[08:10:00] dtm: nanoITX: ok then you'd eventually become a fascist or victim thereof
[08:10:00] nanoITX: T, there would be less pressure for there to be free software. And, I believe the existance of free software is a good thing.
[08:10:00] buu: cesman: I just want to watch a video =[
[08:10:00] cesman: so what is stopping you?
[08:11:00] dtm: nanoITX: that's an absurdly vacuous and nonsequitur pseudo-rationale
[08:11:00] buu: cesman: The video play mode isn't detecting them.
[08:11:00] dtm: nanoITX: anyway, sorry, never mind :)
[08:11:00] cesman: did you run the vidoe manager?
[08:11:00] buu: cesman: Um. No? How?
[08:12:00] dtm: cesman: what's the video manager
[08:12:00] buu: Heh
[08:12:00] dtm: is 'mythcommflag --all' supposed to manually scan all content, end to end?
[08:12:00] ** cesman ponders if anyone reads the MythTV docs... **
[08:12:00] dtm: cesman: oh good grief.
[08:12:00] buu: No =[
[08:12:00] dtm: cesman: the docs and the experience they entail are complex and huge.
[08:12:00] cesman: good gried nothing...
[08:13:00] buu: cesman: Where do I find this manager?
[08:13:00] dtm: cesman: no, good grief"
[08:13:00] dtm: no good grief everything.
[08:13:00] dtm: everything about it is complex and minute
[08:13:00] cesman: it is under the settings
[08:14:00] buu: Ok great, I found it
[08:14:00] buu: Thanks
[08:16:00] cesman: you're welcome

[08:17:00] buu: aumix shows my volume is up..
[08:18:00] dtm: no "ends justifying the means", nor less guilt by comparison .. only by intent. i.e. rule of law
[08:19:00] nanoITX: to each his own. I *am* an odd one there because their commercial stuff isn't good enuf "for me", even at the employee discount. Fortunately for them, they still sell to lots of others. How long this will continue depends on what the market demands and accepts.
[08:19:00] dtm: nanoITX: nor less guilty by proximity of personal impact. doesn't matter how it affects me personally

[08:20:00] buu: Hmph.
[08:20:00] dtm: nanoITX: and what they demand and accept depends on the public's (and the public's leadership's) awareness of M$'s war against the global public, like any illegal monopoly. that's why they're illegal.

[08:20:00] dtm: just like with the RIAA.
[08:21:00] nanoITX: dtm: as a libertarian I believe the proper response to a monopoly leveraging it's strenght is community backlash and organization. Any government that can quash a monopolist is more to be feared than the monopolist itself. The fact that Linux exists *proves* that MSFT is "mostly harmless".
[08:21:00] Chutt: when did this channel become /.?
[08:21:00] buu: lsmod shows 'snd_ac97_codec' and so forth
[08:22:00] buu: But I get no output.
[08:22:00] dtm: nanoITX: no, it doesn't. but the rest of that is true :)
[08:22:00] dtm: nanoITX: winning the war against the public will prove that it's mostly harmless, someday
[08:22:00] nanoITX: I do not submit to the notion of "illegal monopoly". Inconvenient, perhaps. But the state should not be the one to try to "correct" that.
[08:22:00] buu: That's sad.
[08:23:00] dtm: nanoITX: that would assume an ideally informed public, which is impossible, and is to a large degree due to the illlegal monopoly. that's why they're illegal.
[08:23:00] Chutt: you guys go talk in #morons or something
[08:23:00] dtm: the game is utterly and fundamentally rigged

[08:25:00] buu: You mean does any other app play sound?
[08:26:00] dtm: yeah!
[08:26:00] nanoITX: dtm:yes, strenght is derived from the public being generally incapable of forming a proper value analysis. Eventually, the market corrects this. Forceful response to the inconvenience caused by a monopolist is caving into impatience, and ultimately creating a greater evil. How many people can billy-gee kill? Georgy boy? Hmm. I see the proposed cure far worse than the disease. Anyway, shall we agree to disagree and remain utterly
[08:26:00] nanoITX: disgusted (or disgusting, as the case may be)?

[08:30:00] dtm: now i can't delete them from mythfrontend.
[08:30:00] Chutt: manually delete them from the database.
[08:30:00] dtm: a delete request simply does nothing
[08:31:00] dtm: Chutt: oh ok so i'm just not supposed to do that ;)
[08:31:00] dtm: in the first place
[08:31:00] Chutt: and use the frontend, or mythweb next time
[08:31:00] nanoITX: yeah, db looks out of sync with reality.
[08:31:00] Chutt: there's several tables to delete entries from.
[08:31:00] dtm: it'd be nice if the filenames in some way could also reflect the show's name
[08:31:00] dtm: because i have had to preview them in external apps
[08:32:00] Chutt: there's scripts in contrib to rename things
[08:32:00] Chutt: or create links, etc
[08:32:00] dtm: oh ok.
[08:32:00] nanoITX: dtm: perhaps if you created new files with the old names that have bogus content, the frontend would let you delete them (for real and from the db).
[08:32:00] dtm: nanoITX: it doesn't :)
[08:32:00] dtm: apparently
[08:33:00] nanoITX: bah
[08:33:00] dtm: i used 'touch'
[08:34:00] dtm: why does mythencode.pl need a patched mencoder?

[16:26:00] engi1: The video works great
[16:27:00] engi1: And if I record with arecord, the sound in is fine
[16:27:00] engi1: into the sounds card
[16:27:00] engi1: It's just puersuading mythtv to listen to the mike input
[16:27:00] juski: just a case of pointing mythtv at the right audio device in mythtv-setup
[16:27:00] engi1: Is myth listening to the OSS sound source
[16:27:00] engi1: ?
[16:27:00] juski: the mike input?! use the line input
[16:27:00] engi1: juski: I know. This is a nforce2 board – no line input
[16:27:00] engi1: Not that I've found
[16:27:00] juski: ouch
[16:28:00] juski: mono sound here you come
[16:28:00] juski: if you want stereo sound, you might aswell stop at this point
[16:28:00] stuarta: or go buy a proper soundcard
[16:28:00] juski: I thought all these new boards have smartjack or whatever so you can reassign inputs
[16:29:00] directhex|work: correct
[16:29:00] engi1: I've never figured out how to do that with linux
[16:29:00] directhex|work: you do it in alsa by muting/unmuting some toggleswitches in alsamixer

[16:29:00] directhex|work: ^^ like that
[16:30:00] juski: as for getting myth to capture from an audio device.. I just used dev/dsp when I mucked with a framegrabber (for 10 minutes)
[16:30:00] engi1: directhex|work: Thanks, will try
[16:30:00] juski: I dunno what the alsa device name would be
[16:33:00] engi1: Irritatingly, if I turn up the output volume of the mike channel I can hear the sound piped straight through
[16:33:00] engi1: however myth still won't record it
[16:33:00] engi1: (it is set to be a capture device)
[16:34:00] juski: so mythtv is probably set to use the wrong device.. it'd be /dev/dsp by default or something
[16:34:00] engi1: juski: It is set to use /dev/dsp – but there are sub devices

[16:48:00] Kelerion: nah.. something else.. I don't think I have my device settings right in xorg.. I think (however I have *no* idea why) it's loading the "nv" driver instead of the "nvidia" driver

[19:56:00] metalac: and fx5200
[19:57:00] ** GreyFoxx has 3 dxr3's sitting on a shelf. Everytime I see them I think I need to get back to working on that, then life and my family steal all of my time until I forget about it again :) **
[19:58:00] ** metalac has two under the bed, hopefully there will be some use for them in future **
[19:58:00] GreyFoxx: I really liked the video output when I was using them. Sweet stuff

[19:58:00] GreyFoxx: of course if you want to go HD they are not an option heh
[19:58:00] metalac: hey so how much does nvidia's encoding offload the cpu? with dxr3 the cpu was less that 10% at all times no matter what the DVD was
[19:59:00] GreyFoxx: metalac: I don't use hardware decoding on my nvidia cards. Though when I tried it for a few minutes it was fairly significant
[19:59:00] metalac: ok
[19:59:00] metalac: i heard that Sigma Designs is supposed to come out with some HD card
[19:59:00] metalac: apparently they have the chip out already
[20:00:00] GreyFoxx: There is a dev board for the em8621. PCI based, does mpeg2/4/h264. HDTV component, VGA and Svideo I think outputs
[20:00:00] metalac: that would be soo sweet
[20:00:00] xris: nice
[20:01:00] metalac: then the 3.0ghz requirement for HD would go out the door :)
[20:01:00] ** xris would still settle for legal DVB from Dish. **
[20:01:00] metalac: but i bet the card would be really pricy
[20:01:00] stuarta: well 8702 works, but now I've 2.5hrs of recordings.
[20:01:00] stuarta: Have to wait till the weekend for more testing.
[20:01:00] GreyFoxx: metalac: Certainly more than an cheap Nvidia fx5200 :)
[20:02:00] Chutt: stuarta, won't be fixed in 0.19, then.
[20:02:00] stuarta: no problems. Unless beavis can work something out.
[20:02:00] metalac: GreyFoxx: but it should be worth it if it covers a wide array of formats and if it's decent price say sub $200
[20:02:00] Chutt: it'd only be worth it if you can use it as a video card.
[20:03:00] GreyFoxx: metalac: I suspect you wont see it under $$200, at least not initiallly
[20:03:00] Chutt: and use it for stuff other than decoding.
[20:03:00] metalac: Chutt: well you can always have a cheap ass card to deal with UI, but have this bad boy deal with actuall stuff we care about
[20:03:00] Chutt: err
[20:04:00] Chutt: how do you handle displaying the ui on one video output, and the decoded video on another?
[20:04:00] beavis: Chutt: oh, so there are only 1 or 2 days left? we still have some plugins to translate
[20:04:00] Chutt: yes.
[20:04:00] metalac: just like did DVDs on my Hollywood+
[20:04:00] laga: doesn't that already work? run X on your vga card and tell mythtv to output via the pvr 350?
[20:04:00] Chutt: laga, X runs on the pvr-350
[20:05:00] laga: Chutt: yes, but you don't have to do that.
[20:05:00] Chutt: metalac, that's a crappy user experience.
[20:05:00] metalac: Chutt: i used to pass a command to mplayer so that it would decode on hollywood plus
[20:05:00] Chutt: you can either switch displays
[20:05:00] Chutt: or switch inputs on your display

[20:07:00] metalac: Chutt: if i remember correctly hollywood+ used to connect to video card and grab it's output and send it to TV and when you watched MPEG2 then hollywood would do it byitself
[20:08:00] GreyFoxx: You remember incorrectly
[20:08:00] GreyFoxx: There was a VGA passthrough and the mpeg video would be overlayed on it using the onboard em9xxx chip
[20:08:00] GreyFoxx: but the VGA in no way makes it out the TV out of the dxr3
[20:08:00] metalac: i remember that the cable cost more than the card itself :)
[20:08:00] GreyFoxx: If it did I'd add support for the card tomorrow :)
[20:09:00] metalac: hehe
[20:11:00] metalac: around here dxr3s can be bought for as little as $15 in second hand stores
[20:12:00] GreyFoxx: yup
[20:12:00] metalac: i bought both of mine for $30 3–4 years ago, i assume they only get cheaper
[20:13:00] metalac: the cable was another $15 i think :), but well worth it
[20:15:00] Juski: $15 for a poxy VGA cable?
[20:15:00] Juski: charlatans ;)
[20:16:00] metalac: ahahaah
[20:16:00] metalac: i just checked it's $10, but shipping is extra :)
[20:17:00] Juski: when it's that short a length, going from card to card, it doesn't even have to be very good cable
[20:17:00] Juski: certainly not at TV resolutions ;)
[20:17:00] metalac: i know
[20:18:00] metalac: but that connector is weird from what i remember

I've got comcast digital cable (boston area), i'm wondering if anyone knows how I go about getting a cable box with firewire out? Actually mine might have it, I haven't checked yet..
[20:55:00] support_: but, assuming it doesn't, can I buy one? do I have to ask Comcast for one?

[20:56:00] support_: (firewire sounds like the bomb, HD support and also the signal is staying digital instead of going digital->analog->digital
[20:57:00] metalac: i thought all HD cards just dump the stream straight to the drive
[20:58:00] xris: metalac: pretty much
[20:58:00] metalac: so then firewire is not THAT big of a deal
[20:58:00] metalac: i mean you save on a card
[20:59:00] xris: metalac: right. but you can't GET hd cable without a firewire card

[21:00:00] xris: technically, firewire doesn't have to be HD, either. they're only required to output 480p, but I think it's cheaper for them to not have to resample/transcode the signal
[21:00:00] support_: so does anyone know what the deal is? should I call my cable provider and ask them to swap me out for a box that has firewire output?
[21:01:00] metalac: well you can always try :)
[21:01:00] support_: or is it possible to buy a third-party box, not from them?
[21:01:00] xris: support_: if you pay for HD content, they're supposed to provide you with a firewire-capable box on request. not necessarily for free, either.
[21:01:00] support_: xris: I don't want HD content, i don't think I pay for it
[21:01:00] xris: support_: then you're out of luck
[21:02:00] support_: xris: so you're saying the only way to get a firewire-capable box is to pay for HD content?

[21:53:00] swarm_: is this an ivtv error or a myth config error? Channel(/dev/video0)::SetColourAttribute(): failed to set controls, error: No such device
[21:53:00] laga: would be better if you gave us the name of the card so we don't have to click. ;)

[21:54:00] swarm_: use a fanless fx 5200 would be my choice
[21:56:00] metalac: yeah fx 5200 seem to be the cheap standard these days
[21:56:00] xris: metalac: nvidia has better linux drivers... and if all you're doing is tv out, you don't need much of a gpu

[22:00:00] ole_schoola: anyone know what provides it or should i build source from videolan's ftp site
[22:00:00] metalac: scottder: they all have that
[22:01:00] metalac: everything past 5200 and newer
[22:01:00] scottder: offer any advantage....

[22:01:00] metalac: offloads your cpu when it decodes mpeg2
[22:01:00] kormoc: yup
[22:02:00] scottder: Ok, so worth the $10 more it costs then
[22:02:00] metalac: so say you're recording and watching at the same time
[22:02:00] kormoc: scottder, as opposed to?
[22:02:00] scottder: only going to have a 1ghz processor in it
[22:02:00] kormoc: ole_schoola, http://www.videolan.org/dtsdec.html

[22:02:00] xris: of course, with a hardware encoder, the cpu is barely touched, anyway
[22:03:00] kormoc: scottder, ahh, yeah. tho, as I said, I'd recommend going a step up to the 6200 just for the nice boost, but I'm running a 5200 just fine
[22:03:00] scottder: Yeah this is going to be pretty basic....
[22:03:00] scottder: so keeping cost low is good

[22:22:00] kormoc: run the frontend on the laptop
[22:22:00] Kyler: Esuirin: mythfrontend is all I think I needed. You'll need MySQL info for it to use.
[22:22:00] Esuirin: right
[22:23:00] Esuirin: so i don't need to do yum install mythtv-suite?
[22:23:00] Kyler: No, you shouldn't need everything.
[22:23:00] kormoc: if there's just a mythfrontend package, then no, else yes

[23:03:00] Esuirin: #192.168.0.101 laptop
[23:03:00] Esuirin: why did i have to comment that out on desktop?
[23:03:00] Esuirin: in /etc/hosts
[23:03:00] xris: Esuirin: has to do with mysql's anti-hacking and host lookups
[23:03:00] xris: it's a PITA
[23:03:00] kormoc: xris, so it doesn't start the innodb engine, less memory usage and faster startup times
[23:03:00] Esuirin: is there any way i can give my laptop a hostname?
[23:04:00] xris: Esuirin: hosts entry shouldn't matter. could be that you need to re-issue the grant command once with the ip and once with the name
[23:04:00] xris: that should cover it.
[23:04:00] Esuirin: i think i had done that:O
[23:04:00] Esuirin: i am pretty sure i did, actually
[23:04:00] xris: well, won't hurt to do it again
[23:05:00] Esuirin: i mean, i don't think that fixed it:O
[23:05:00] Esuirin: does not having lirc on this machine slow down myth from loading?
[23:05:00] Esuirin: pre-scaling themes takes forever:O
[23:05:00] kormoc: Esuirin, no
[23:05:00] kormoc: they are unrelated
[23:06:00] Esuirin: to use alsa, what do i put as audio putput device again?
[23:06:00] Esuirin: audio output
[23:06:00] kormoc: alsa: default
[23:06:00] Esuirin: and what for mixer device?
[23:06:00] kormoc: I just disabled myth's mixer
[23:07:00] kormoc: I control it from external

[23:07:00] Esuirin: where do i tell it where that is located?
[23:07:00] kormoc: the db tells it where it's located. to change what the db says, use mythtv-setup
[23:08:00] Esuirin: ohhhhhh
[23:08:00] Esuirin: that could be a problem
[23:08:00] Esuirin: on the machine i usually use

[23:08:00] Esuirin: it's localhost
[23:08:00] Esuirin: so i need to put local ip?
[23:08:00] Esuirin: like 192.168.0.100?
[23:08:00] kormoc: yes
[23:08:00] Esuirin: k
[23:09:00] xris: Esuirin: or "desktop"
[23:09:00] ole_schoola: ./configure indicates ccache=no, i thought default was =on and should I care? not using distcc
[23:09:00] xris: ole_schoola: ccache has little to do with distcc
[23:10:00] ole_schoola: check
[23:10:00] xris: if you have ccache installed, it should work.. otherwise, no.
[23:10:00] ole_schoola: ..but should it not be =yes by deafault?
[23:10:00] xris: but it won't matter
[23:10:00] ole_schoola: how not?
[23:10:00] kormoc: ccache emulates gcc
[23:10:00] xris: ccache only helps when recompiling stuff
[23:11:00] ole_schoola: ok, but i expect to be recompiling =)
[23:11:00] kormoc: so even if it's not isntalled, and it thinks it is, it will just compile using gcc and nothings the matter
[23:11:00] Esuirin: got it
[23:11:00] ole_schoola: figured as much, thanks
