[00:00:00] xpis: The information should be somewhere on fedora.redhat.com
[00:01:00] briand: no doubt. anyway.. I'll be in the living room, squinting at a 12" monitor (the myth box usually only uses the pvr-350's TV-Out port.)
[00:01:00] xpis: Try fedorafaq.org
[00:01:00] briand: and i'll install the stuff from the cd
[00:02:00] PeterA: Does anyone use teletext subtitles successfully with mythtv?
[00:02:00] xpis: You have probably updated qt since you installed, so the qt-devel package there won't work.
[00:03:00] xpis: Do you have another FC3 machine with yum working you can copy the repos.d from?

[00:07:00] xpis: Replace $releasever with 3, and $basearch with i386
[00:08:00] briand: grab all of those?
[00:08:00] xpis: And use fedora.repo and fedora-updates.repo.
[00:08:00] xpis: Probably fedora-extras-devel and fedora-extras too.
[00:11:00] briand: okay.. got 'em. now just scp 'em over to /etc on my mythbox, right?
[00:12:00] briand: er, rather... /etc/yum.repos.d

[00:18:00] flyr: Hi..
[00:18:00] Spida: hi
[00:19:00] flyr: Is it now recommended (required?) to run mythfilldatabase in the mythbackend, rather than cron?
[00:19:00] Spida: flyr: aeh, whats the difference? you can run mythfilldatabase with cron
[00:20:00] eidolon (n=eido@pdpc/supporter/monthlybronze/eidolon) Quit ("NOT THE THIRD SWITCH!!!")
[00:20:00] xpis: It's best to NOT do it with cron as to do it at random times.
[00:20:00] xpis: Having mythtv run it will ensure that it gets run at random times, as requested by datadirect.
[00:20:00] Spida: hm, does ivtv need anything beside the firmware and ivtv.ko?
[00:20:00] kormoc: xpis, it's not random times
[00:21:00] kormoc: xpis, they tell you the best time to grab listings
[00:21:00] Spida: xpis: you can run it at random times with cron, too.
[00:21:00] xpis: kormoc: yes. And that time is a random time during daytime hours.
[00:21:00] kormoc: xpis, it's not random, no
[00:21:00] kormoc: xpis, they pick the low usage times and balance it out based on that
[00:21:00] xpis: kormoc: ok, diversified.
[00:22:00] flyr: Yeah, I realize it's considerate to run it at a random time...
[00:22:00] xpis: kormoc: it doesn't matter.. it is whatever the server requests – which is what mythtv does.

[00:22:00] lars-ut is now known as lars-ut-away
[00:22:00] kormoc: xpis, saying random times tho would mean it's the same as a random cron time, which it's not, tis all
[00:22:00] flyr: However, after upgrading it's not inserting new data.
[00:22:00] kormoc: flyr, that's more likley due to the 3 day limit now
[00:22:00] SlicerDicer-: kormoc: now I found something totally weird haha
[00:23:00] kormoc: flyr, datadirect is getting so hammered, they lowered it down to 3 days from 13.
[00:23:00] SlicerDicer-: kormoc: my history was making it borken :/
[00:23:00] kormoc: ouch
[00:23:00] SlicerDicer-: I hate dumping my history heh
[00:24:00] jasta: backi tup
[00:24:00] jasta: i just gzip it.
[00:24:00] jasta: once every other month
[00:24:00] flyr: kormoc: I read that. But isn't the load the same: data for today and third day out?
[00:25:00] flyr: kormoc: Two days, no matter whether you have 13 days worth or 3?
[00:25:00] kormoc: flyr, for most people, aye, but they had a lot of issues (one person was pulling over 1000 times a day the full 13 day set)
[00:25:00] flyr: kormoc: they deserve to be filtered...
[00:26:00] kormoc: my understanding is they are working on that, but until they get a solution, this is what we have
[00:26:00] SlicerDicer-: kormoc: thats absolutely lame those smacktards should be banned
[00:26:00] SlicerDicer-: I was reading that myself just a few mins ago
[00:27:00] GreyFoxx: fyi, they restored it back to 13 days
[00:27:00] kormoc: yay!
[00:27:00] SlicerDicer-: yeah they did
[00:27:00] SlicerDicer-: it was on there forums

[00:27:00] briand: xpis: okay. i have all your .repo files, and have made the edits. placed 'em in /etc/yum.repo.d and ran `yum install qt-devel` and it doesn't try anything other than [at-stable]. ditto when i move them to /etc instead of /etc/yum.repo.d
[00:28:00] splat1 is now known as splAt1
[00:28:00] SlicerDicer-: kormoc: but they should do like what gentoo resync mirrors do and say only one update allowed per day anymore than that can lead to ban and strike fear in people like me! :p
[00:28:00] SlicerDicer-: remember me being scared about being banned haha
[00:28:00] kormoc: SlicerDicer-, they already do say that, as they only update the data once a day
[00:28:00] SlicerDicer-: ohh well I did not read it heh
[00:28:00] kormoc: :P
[00:28:00] SlicerDicer-: I just know :)
[00:29:00] xpis: briand: try putting the data directly into yum.conf
[00:29:00] SlicerDicer-: Gentoo has shown me the true and righteous path! ;-)

[00:36:00] xpis: briand: there's not that much data.. just copy and paste...
[00:36:00] xpis: but yes, that would work..
[00:36:00] briand: actually, it doesn't work.
[00:39:00] xpis: uh.. you misplaced your ;
[00:40:00] briand: indeed.
[00:40:00] xpis: for i in *.repoHERE>>;<<HERE do cat $i >>yum.conf; done
[00:40:00] briand: anyway.. there all in there now.
[00:40:00] xpis: ok.. does it work now?
[00:40:00] briand: now, i'm just trying to figure out why it's still only looking at at-stable, even though some of those are set at enable=1

[00:53:00] achew22: I don't know — I'm checking the dammage
[00:53:00] briand: xpis: did that. but the qt-devel still has the same dependancy for mplayer, which has the dependancy for libviaXvMC.so.1 ... thus, same result.
[00:53:00] achew22: I will just reinstall its no bigg
[00:53:00] achew22: biggy*
[00:54:00] xpis: qt-devel does NOT depend on mplayer
[00:54:00] D-side: oh how I screw myself over with all things mythtv.
[00:54:00] D-side: i have no idea what to do with this problem. pfeh.
[00:54:00] xpis: It's most likely being caused by severely messed up packages on your system. Most likely from atrpms.

[00:55:00] xris: fyi to everyone, zap2it just removed their 3-day cap... but please don't go downloading your listings now or their servers may overload. Things should start working properly with your next automated download.
[00:55:00] xpis: try using apt-get to delete mythtv-suite.
[00:55:00] D-side: xris: they were limiting listings to 3 days worth? for how long?
[00:55:00] achew22: I have a general question... i'm not sure what this is its a window that says "run as root – KDE su" then it says "Please enter your password" and under command it says "mythbackend '-session' '10a1cf746800001139...'"
[00:55:00] xpis: xris: are you sure you wanted to announce that?
[00:55:00] xris: D-side: since the 11th or so
[00:55:00] briand: xpis: won't that remove my current myth installation?
[00:55:00] achew22: what is that?
[00:56:00] xpis: briand: yes, it will.
[00:56:00] D-side: xris: shows how perceptive I am. thanks though.
[00:56:00] achew22: briand: you cant make an omlet without breaking a few pots/pans
[00:56:00] xris: xpis: I trust users here to be polite to the nice people who give us free tv listing data.

[00:57:00] xpis: achew22: topic

[00:57:00] achew22: any really cool features?
[00:57:00] xpis: achew22: mpeg2 splicing
[00:57:00] achew22: ooh!
[00:57:00] briand: xpis: i'm not convinced this is the way to go (deleting the current myth installation). mplayer is, in fact, part of the qt-devel package
[00:57:00] achew22: thats cool — I have a pvr-150

[00:58:00] D-side: i'll just throw this out here... anyone see an issue upgrading from 0.18.1 to 0.19, with regards to opengl related stuff failing?
[00:58:00] xris: xpis: I still need to try that out
[00:58:00] xris: D-side: never had an issue.. been running svn for months
[00:58:00] briand: yes.. mpeg2 splicing is the main reason i want to upgrade... i have a pvr-350 and a pvr-500
[00:58:00] xpis: briand: no, mplayer is a atrpms package.
[00:59:00] xpis: briand: it is not included with qt-devel.
[00:59:00] achew22: why would you need to beable to control mythfrontend through telnet?
[00:59:00] xpis: briand: it's not included by fedora at all due to patent/copyright concerns.
[00:59:00] D-side: xris: i figured as much. its my... interesting installation thats the fault, so i'm going to have tons of fun tracking it down.
[00:59:00] D-side: i can't really upgrade until theres an 0.19 xbmcmythtv update anyway.
[01:00:00] kslater: I'm thinking the telent interface would be great for those that can get to their box remotely

[01:01:00] xris: D-side: :(
[01:01:00] briand: xpis: well, we commented out the references to AT-STABLE, so it's not even looking there. We ran "yum clean all" so there's nothing left over from before...
[01:01:00] xris: kslater: it's to control the frontend.. as in remotely tell it to play livetv, etc.
[01:01:00] D-side: oh dont feel sorry for me in the slightest. i've gone and screwed myself majorly, to the point where I have no one to blame but myself.
[01:01:00] jerky_2: what is mpeg2 splicing?
[01:02:00] xpis: briand: but there are atrpms packages. Atrpms packages have completely messed up dependencies.

[01:02:00] D-side: I decided it would be a nice idea to xen'ify the mythtv box. :)
[01:02:00] achew22: WHAT!!! I didn't have LAME installed?!?!?!?
[01:02:00] briand: jerky_2: taking your regular captured tv shows, and then trimming out the commercials (or whatever), then transcoding to a new file just like the old one, but without the commercials (or whatever)
[01:02:00] D-side: thats... lame. :D
[01:03:00] jerky_2: ah, ok – so it's not reducing the quality at all? that's nice
[01:03:00] xpis: jerky_2: exactly.
[01:03:00] D-side: but, theres no transcoding done in the new method, no? or did i catch that wrong
[01:03:00] kslater: xris: so you could setup recordings, etc, right?
[01:03:00] achew22: I would rank the mpeg2 splicing about a 9 on a scale from 1 to 10 for sexyness
[01:03:00] D-side: afk, dinner.

[01:05:00] Blammo[work]: achew22 : agreed
[01:05:00] briand: xpis: well, I don't think I'm going to completely trash my current (working) mythtv setup just to see if this will fix the fact I can't get qt-devel via yum in order to compile the new mythtv
[01:05:00] achew22: thankyou — last time i went upstairs with a pizza in, there were flames when I came back down
[01:05:00] briand: achew22: run `at`
[01:06:00] sPiN: hey guys is it normal for my console where i started mythfrontend to have this constant scrolling of the time and date then rebuffering (230482304 2304234)?
[01:06:00] sPiN: im watching tv, and it looks just fine, ive recorded stuff and it looks great, but just dont remember seeing this rebuffering msg that keeps constantly scrolling before
[01:06:00] achew22: briand: "Bash: at: command not found"
[01:07:00] briand: tch tch
[01:07:00] achew22: its okay — I apt-geted it

[01:08:00] jerky_2: has anyone here experienced problems using nvidia's 7676 driver, as recommended by the myth 0.19 wiki? for some reason for me, 7676 doesn't work, but 8178 does. i have a geforce4 ti 4400

[01:08:00] achew22: wow — your right
[01:08:00] sPiN: jerky_2, ive been using the 8178 drivers from the get go for my mythtv, its worked fine
[01:09:00] sPiN: i ran the svn until a couple days ago when .19 final came out, and its been fine as well
[01:09:00] jerky_2: they do work, they even work for openGL apps like quake4, and they give reasonable performance... the part that kills me is the OpenGL vsync and XvMC options don't bring my HDTV 1080i perfomrance up to a watchable level
[01:09:00] jerky_2: i have a P4 2.2 GHz, which plays 720p HD ok, but can't quite keep up with 1080i HD, it comes up just short

[01:11:00] kslater: what's the current state of the art for hdtv and myth? What's the least DRMish choice?
[01:11:00] jerky_2: i'm not sure, but the choices i read the most about were the pcHDTV 3000 and the air2PC card
[01:11:00] achew22: i wish this would comiple faster... my pizza might be done

[02:16:00] xris: if that didn't, then you have repositories conflicting with each other.. which atrpms does sometimes... you'll have to pick and choose what to install
[02:17:00] xpis: atrpms and freshrpms conflict badly.
[02:17:00] mattwj2005: do you think that'll get better in the future?
[02:17:00] briand: um..
[02:17:00] ole_schoola: i only enable freshrpms when i have to pickup a specific package, then i disable it, no worries then
[02:18:00] mattwj2005: mofu is the ota HDTV or through the cable?
[02:18:00] xris: xpis: atrpms and a LOT of stuff conflict. in the case of briand it's conflicting with the freetype packages in fedora core
[02:18:00] mofu: mattwj2005: the big problem from what I've seen so far is the the Cable companies, at least Comcast do not include the Identification bits in the streams, without that it will never be automated
[02:18:00] xris: briand: apt-get dist-upgrade
[02:18:00] briand: looking at the pastebin I put up.. it seems that atrpms is where it got ALL of the stuff it wanted. and it conflicts with itself, apparently.

[02:19:00] achew22: xpis: what is that called on the apt-get list?

[02:19:00] Yellow-Snow: WOW! i added some foam to my computer b/c it came w/ my new HD and its sooooo much quieter!
[02:19:00] achew22: ubuntu
[02:19:00] briand: xris: um.. that will replace everything on the machine, will it not?
[02:19:00] mattwj2005: so what do you have to do for setup? with an analog tuner I know all it has to do is scan
[02:19:00] xris: briand: no, the error message shows libfreetype.atrpms conflicting with freetype (core)....
[02:19:00] xris: dist-upgrade will upgrade and fix dependencies that it might not otherwise fix.
[02:20:00] xpis: achew22: try x-dev
[02:20:00] achew22: thanks
[02:20:00] xris: it can break certain things, but it's how axel expects people to use his repository.
[02:20:00] xris: briand: the other option is to use yum or smart...
[02:20:00] ole_schoola: mattjw2005: search on 'sweet D3000' in users list

[02:21:00] achew22: xpis: I used the apt-get install mythtv way to install mythtv before, should I apt-get remove mythtv?
[02:21:00] ole_schoola: after your first boot
[02:21:00] xpis: briand: this is why I suggested that you remove mythtv-suite.
[02:21:00] ole_schoola: achew: NO!
[02:22:00] achew22: okay...
[02:22:00] ole_schoola: achew: the exact destructions are in the CVS build hoto on the wiki!
[02:22:00] mofu: mattwj2005: I use dvbtools and mplayer to find the unencrypted HD streams, and load the channels.conf to myth, works ok for just a few channels, would be a royal pain for a 100,
[02:23:00] mofu: The HUGE problem is that the cable company can move the channels around anytime, easy broadcast update to their boxes, myth is clueless when this happens
[02:23:00] achew22: xpis: still erroring, i put it on pastebin: http://patebin.ca/41531
[02:23:00] briand: okay.. so, what I've learned today: You can't do that. Erase your disk and start over.
[02:23:00] mattwj2005: that sucks
[02:23:00] briand: I guess that means I'll just wait for the binary rpms to become available.
[02:24:00] xpis: achew22: xf86? Do you have both xorg and xfree installed?
[02:25:00] mofu: mattwj2005: happened to me last week all of a sudden CBS moved and another channel was gone
[02:25:00] xpis: achew22: did you re-run the configure script?

[02:26:00] mofu: mattwj2005: going through a list of 100 or more channels from an atscscan w/ mplayer takes a long time

[02:27:00] xpis: briand: degauss the hard disk.
[02:27:00] ole_schoola: mofu: throw out the small ones ;)
[02:27:00] xpis: briand: Your packages are quite messed up.
[02:27:00] mofu: ole_schoola: yep, now I look for big streams and just check those, HD only
[02:27:00] xpis: briand: you have unsatisfied dependencies all over.
[02:27:00] ole_schoola: briand: sounds like what xpis said
[02:27:00] ole_schoola: it can happen
[02:28:00] simcop2387: mofu: i've got a couple 1hour recordings now, didn't see them as being wrong

[02:28:00] briand: forgetting yum. forgetting apt-get. what is smart?
[02:28:00] achew22: lets hope its smart
[02:28:00] xpis: briand: any package manager will bark at you for trying to do anything with packages with unsatisfied dependencies for things that aren't even available.
[02:29:00] mofu: simcop2387: yeah, mine are OK now, when you get a chance check the same thing on a one hour program you start watching before it finishes recording.
[02:29:00] ole_schoola: briand: it's another package manager
[02:29:00] simcop2387: mofu: i did, don't recall seeing anything like that
[02:29:00] ole_schoola: manages depsolving much better than yum but slower than apt

[02:29:00] briand: xpis: i can understand that. what i can't understand is why fixing a package manager's fuckup requires removing the core (and WORKING!!!) application on the machine.
[02:30:00] ole_schoola: because package managers have gawd-like powers ;)
[02:30:00] mofu: simcop2387: when the recording stops while you are watching it the time error occurs I think I'm gong to double check, watching 24 now
[02:31:00] xpis: briand: it's not the package manager. It's the packages. They are there to serve you. Don't fear the packages.
[02:32:00] ole_schoola: xpis: the package managers can foul up your system quicker than snot if you're not careful or there's a bug in the PM
[02:33:00] ole_schoola: xpis: but you are right about the packages, they are what they are
[02:33:00] ** D-side ponders the max velocity of mucus. **
[02:33:00] briand: xpis: i'm not fearing the packages. i installed mythtv-suite a year ago. since then, I've upgraded everything except mythtv (ivtv, etc, etc).. removing mythtv-suite would undo ALL of that, and I'd be left with building a mythtv box from scratch again.

[02:33:00] xpis: ole_schoola/briand: the packages installed are messed up. This was caused by apt and atrpms. Thus, you have packages from multiple sources installed that are causing unfilled dependencies.
[02:33:00] mofu: most package manager problems seem to be in rpm based systems . . . . Rarely have had a problem with Debian/Ubuntu
[02:34:00] xpis: Thus, any package manager you throw in will be working with the *same* rpms.
[02:34:00] xpis: The same RPMs that are messed up.
[02:34:00] ole_schoola: xpis/briand: totally agree, saving that system is prolly beyond your abuilities right now
[02:34:00] ole_schoola: i recommend a smart install after a burn-down
[02:34:00] xpis: I could save it, but it wouldn't be worth the effort.
[02:34:00] xpis: It would be much easier to just reinstall from scratch
[02:35:00] xpis: (reinstalling atrpms and freshrpms rpms from scratch, that is)
[02:35:00] ole_schoola: well i' know i'm no elite enough to do it, but i do know it would take some serious sorting out
[02:35:00] xpis: (not install fedora from scratch)
[02:35:00] xpis: To save it would involve fixing packages one at a time.
[02:36:00] xpis: A fix would be to mass delete everything from atrpms.
[02:36:00] ole_schoola: xpis: not ribbing you, giving you credit
[02:36:00] ole_schoola: blowing out the cache i imagine

[02:40:00] briand: why not, then simply blow the duplicate freetype packages away?
[02:40:00] ole_schoola: briand: problems with apt/dependencies can get very, very deep. they can be solved. if you are having this much trouble with your sources conflicting (which is what we think happened at some point), you're going to have one helluva time returning to a workable state. not trying to discourage you or put you down, just looking at path of least resistance, that's all
[02:40:00] xpis: briand: it's not limited to duplicate freetype packages.
[02:40:00] briand: xpis: actually, it is.
[02:40:00] mofu: mattwj2005: some people think the air2pc has an edge, but you have to use 2.6.15 kernel or a patched 2.6.13 kernel

[02:43:00] D-side: i wonder how bad qtembedded+directfb can really be...
[02:43:00] briand: xpis: but, looking at the pastebin, freetype is one of the packages that _this_ install (of qt-devel) wants to put on my machine. there is no pre-existing version.

[02:54:00] xris: briand: personally, at this point, I'd say to remove all atrpms packages, and temporarily disable all atrpms repositories.

[03:17:00] Yellow-Snow: rtsai1111 yea not as good vent but i dont care

[03:27:00] briand: xris: is that what i should do now, then? `apt-get remove myth-suite` ??
[03:27:00] xris: yup
[03:27:00] briand: i don't have anything scheduled on myth until tomorrow night.
[03:28:00] briand: wow. that was faster than I thought. "E: Couldn't find package myth-suite"

[03:29:00] Kelerion: Manolis: yup

[03:30:00] Manolis: Kelerion: I've had good luck with that driver and a cheap USB webcam, never had it lock my machine though
[03:30:00] briand: i assume I should stop mythbackend first, eh?
[03:31:00] scottder: there is no rpms nvidia-graphics7676 ATrpms package for the 2.6.14 kernel
[03:31:00] scottder: but there is for the 2.6.15 kernel
[03:31:00] scottder: go figure
[03:31:00] Kelerion: Manolis: when I saw the driver and it said it supported the chipset.. I was hopeful.. so I spent ages getting a kernel module build environment in place.. built it.. got a second of images.. then freeze.. gutted.. lol
[03:32:00] Manolis: Kelerion: what app are you using to test it? MPlayer, VLC ?
[03:33:00] Kelerion: tried them both.. they wouldn't even get an image.. so I used the scpa* test utils and they just freeze it
[03:34:00] briand: xris: errors out, nearly immediately, with "E: Couldn't find package mythtv-backend-0.18.1–112.rhfc3.at" (that's the first package listed in the rpm -qa '*myth*' output)

[03:39:00] briand: xris: okay.. and, obviously, this will completely remove MythTV from the system... yes? ..and how does this help me get QT installed?
[03:39:00] Manolis: Kelerion: is the camera /dev/video0 ? maybe try driver=v4l2 ?
[03:40:00] xris: briand: I don't know. I told you to remove atrpms
[03:40:00] xris: not myth
[03:40:00] rav3r: i have some audio files in my video listings (oops) and have fixed my directory stucture, but still, myth lists some of the audio files under videos, even after it scans for new files. how can i get rid of these files, without having to delete the files?
[03:40:00] briand: xris: okay, then I'm totally confused and or mis-informed.

[03:43:00] Manolis: Kelerion: I always had the best luck with VLC, not to mention it has great streaming support ;)
[03:43:00] briand: xris: okay, so I -don't- remove myth-suite or whatever is returned by `rpm -qa '*myth*' ?
[03:43:00] xris: briand: you shouldn't need to, no
[03:43:00] briand: well, now at least I understand the source of my confusion.
[03:44:00] briand: that's exactly what you said i should do, not 10 minutes ago.
[03:44:00] xris: I was just hoping that you had fewer atrpms packages installed so it'd be easier to cleanse your system. it's too hard to do that with as many as you have, though, so we should just get your qt stuff to install
[03:44:00] xris: briand: I'm probably as confused about this as you... you ask one thing, so I tell you how to do it.
[03:44:00] Kelerion: Manolis: what vlc command would be good to try?
[03:45:00] briand: xris: probably so.  ;)
[03:45:00] Kelerion: vlc gives that same light green with dark green grid
[03:45:00] rav3r: what file stores the directory of video files?
[03:46:00] xpis: briand: you could just upgrade to fc5 and wipe everything
[03:46:00] xris: briand: personally, at this point I'd just reinstall.. but I've done that so many times I'm pretty fast at it.

[03:49:00] xris: jerky_3: best I figured, it just isn't the correct choice for such things.
[03:49:00] Kelerion: any recommendations for a well supported webcam for linux?
[03:49:00] xris: it totally f's up the output from my pvr-150... it looks decent for hdtv recordings.
[03:49:00] rav3r: under
[03:50:00] jerky_3: i'm in a bind cause i'm using a p4 2.2, which comes up just short for 1080i HDTV, so i need it
[03:50:00] xris: jerky_3: nice -0
[03:50:00] kormoc: jerky_3, hrm... NvAGP or AGPgart?
[03:50:00] Manolis: Kelerion: I stopped looking after I got my $10 el Cheapo special working, I WISH I could get my iSight working though

[03:52:00] xris: the lowest non-root users can do is 0
[03:52:00] jerky_3: kormoc, not sure what those do – but i saw a page telling me to set Option "NvAGP" "3"
[03:52:00] briand: xris: i agree.
[03:52:00] jerky_3: i also tried enabling fast writes and SBA
[03:52:00] xris: (and btw, -10 is +10.. to get negative you need --10)
[03:52:00] kormoc: jerky_3, that's the correct setting, aye
[03:52:00] jerky_3: i'm using a geforce4 ti 4400, which nvidia says only supports 1 of the 2 parts of XvMC
[03:53:00] jerky_3: i'm not sure what that means for me but it can't be good
[03:53:00] xris: brb.. need to go test my motion-detection webcam
[03:53:00] rav3r: under "video list" i have a folder listed "mattmusic" How do i get rid of it here without deleteing the actual directory?
[03:53:00] jerky_3: also, for some reason i've been having a hell of a time getting nvida-graphics7676 installed correctly, whereas 8178 worked easily
[03:54:00] briand: xris: so, failing strafing the disk and starting over, having already removed freetype .. what's the next step?
[03:54:00] jerky_3: it does this thing where X boots to a black screen and just hangs there... but if i boot with driver "nv" it will boot, then i can init 3, change driver to "nvidia", then init 5.

[03:59:00] xcomp_: it used to work too. don't know how it got messed up
[03:59:00] briand: xris: okay. `yum update` is running. will advise.
[04:00:00] xcomp_: jerky_3: yes it is. and i'm running that as root anyway.
[04:01:00] briand: xris: okay. it fails with the same error i started out with, after trying `yum install qt-devel` , namely: "Error: Missing Dependency: libviaXvMC.so.1 is needed by package mplayer"
[04:02:00] xris: rpm -e --nodeps mplayer
[04:03:00] jerky_3: so, it seems that a p4 2.2 isn't sufficient for decoding 1080i HDTV without a card that's fully XvMC compatible
[04:03:00] jerky_3: is anyone using a similar or lower powered processor that has an XvMC card that reduces the cpu load a lot?
[04:03:00] briand: xris: done. now `yum update` again?
[04:03:00] jerky_3: i have heard the most popular choice is the nvidia fx 5200 fanless series for myth boxes
[04:03:00] xris: briand: yup. just have to keep trying
[04:03:00] xcomp_: man this sucks. i can't record anymore and I have no clue what's gone wrong.

[04:04:00] xcomp_: jerky_3: but I did unload all the sound modules and reload them
[04:05:00] xcomp_: i also upgraded alsa libs and init scripts for good measure
[04:05:00] jerky_3: when funky things start happening to me, i ahve a fixdvb.sh script i run
[04:05:00] jerky_3: does some modprobe -r 's and a modprobe again and chown's the device to the mythtv user
[04:05:00] xcomp_: i have mythtv running as root though.
[04:05:00] briand: xris: okay. 262M to download... and it's runnin'
[04:05:00] xris: briand: that's a start
[04:06:00] briand: xris: heh.. yeah, i guess so.
[04:06:00] xcomp_: something's borked with the sound driver and I can't capture sound anymore
[04:07:00] briand: I guess, with 142 packages to update, I can go do something else (such as enjoy the fire in the living room) for a bit...

[04:34:00] D-side: xris: yeah, sorry i presented it in such a way to make you worry. :)
[04:34:00] xris: rav3r: .19 might be easier.
[04:34:00] xris: Wembley: upgrade both frontend and backend
[04:34:00] Wembley: I know they are both the latest version
[04:34:00] hadees: also i think there is something wrong with the gentoo startup script for .19
[04:34:00] D-side: hadees: why do you say that?
[04:34:00] xris: Wembley: obviously not or you wouldn't get the error
[04:34:00] hadees: but that isn't a mythtv problem
[04:35:00] hadees: D-side, it wasn't working for me, i had to start mythbackend in a screen session to get it running

[04:35:00] xris: or NOT in /usr/local

[04:36:00] hadees: this is strange also, i just watched a recording speed up for no reason in .19
[04:37:00] hadees: i hope that is mythtv play back and not in the recording
[04:37:00] D-side: livetv not working should have been my first hint.
[04:37:00] sndguru: lametailgrep : got a RADEON 9250 on FC4
[04:37:00] D-side: hm, heres a particularly silly question. does 0.19 give a shit what version of ivtv is in use?
[04:37:00] xris: D-side: nope... only inasmuch as it should work
[04:38:00] D-side: i really didnt think so, and tht was my final straw to grasp at.
[04:38:00] lametailgrep: i have an older Rage 128 based card.. the radeons have ATI written linux drivers (which are apparently quite good). Mine would use third party drivers IMO
[04:38:00] D-side: my test conditions are garbage, i don't expect anything here to work correctly.
[04:38:00] xris: lametailgrep: ati only has drivers for the 8500+ cards
[04:38:00] xris: that'd be radeon.. post rage
[04:39:00] lametailgrep: well there are stock drivers included with X that work, i'd imagine all i have to do is force display to tvout, provided support exists.
[04:39:00] lametailgrep: (and by work, i mean work in accelerated mode in X over VGA at least)
[04:39:00] xris: lametailgrep: yeah. quality won't be so hot, though.
[04:40:00] sndguru: does the frontend control transcoding or the backend :?
[04:40:00] lametailgrep: what res do you pipe to your TV over your video-out?
[04:40:00] rav3r: i installed .18 with yum install mythtv-suite, is this something that will be set up for .19?
[04:40:00] lametailgrep: 1024, 800? 640?
[04:41:00] xris: lametailgrep: 800x600 for me
[04:41:00] lametailgrep: rav3r, likely yeah, but give time for the package maintainers to update binaries before it's available on yum.
[04:41:00] hadees: so anyone else getting a speed up issue?

[05:59:00] Wembley: that is, when I am on an analog channel, and the signal gets poor, it gets "blocky" just like a digital signal
[06:01:00] Night-Red: simpler question i know that there is a way to get the program guide in tv mode to do transparent with out the show in a small square in the corner how do i do that?
[06:02:00] fryfrog: Wembley: a lot of cable providers send their "analog" channels in digital on another station, i think the box transparently subs them in

[06:04:00] Wembley: fryfrog: what was the problem with that?
[06:05:00] fryfrog: Wembley: it mainly was just a pain in the ass, and it was hard to tell if the box would send a chan or not
[06:05:00] fryfrog: ie, it wouldn't send some HD chans, would send other...
[06:05:00] briand: xris: [shrug] .. most of the stuff is < 1:00 to download... some, though are 5, 6, or 15 minutes
[06:05:00] fryfrog: sometimes it wouldn't send digital channels, sometimes it would
[06:05:00] Wembley: fryfrog: yeah it depends on if the channel is set to enable 5c encryption

[06:43:00] rav3r: how do i do that on fedora c4?

[06:48:00] dev-: xine/mplayer kind of suck for playing dvds. might as well get a cheap apex
[06:48:00] Yellow-Snow2: ...
[06:48:00] dev-: i have many dvds that are unplayable by xine for whatever reason.
[06:48:00] Yellow-Snow2: why dev?
[06:48:00] Yellow-Snow2: hm
[06:48:00] Yellow-Snow2: even w/ the.. um.. plugins?
[06:48:00] dev-: yup. and these are retail
[06:48:00] Yellow-Snow2: hm
[06:48:00] dev-: like gone in 60 seconds, go to "play movie" and xine segfaults.
[06:49:00] Yellow-Snow2: what about
[06:49:00] Yellow-Snow2: hm
[06:49:00] dev-: mplayer will play the ones xine cant, but no menu support in mplayer which blows
[06:49:00] Yellow-Snow2: hm
[06:49:00] Yellow-Snow2: whast that program to run windos programs on linux
[06:49:00] dev-: oh and there's nothing wrong with my xine build ;) its just some dvds dont work, most work fine
[06:49:00] Wembley: for some reason xawtv segfaults my computer ubt tvtime works fine
[06:49:00] dev-: wine
[06:49:00] Yellow-Snow2: use wine
[06:49:00] Yellow-Snow2: for a windows dvd player
[06:49:00] Yellow-Snow2: ?
[06:50:00] dev-: may work, dunno, would be interesting. cedega proves wine can do hardware accel just fine
[06:50:00] dev-: but then it wouldnt work with lirc i bet
[06:51:00] Yellow-Snow2: hm
[06:51:00] Yellow-Snow2 is now known as Yellow-Snow

[06:55:00] Yellow-Snow: so whats your opinion on wine and using a windows dvd program? or any other options?
[06:55:00] xris: for playing dvd's/
[06:55:00] xris: ?
[06:55:00] Yellow-Snow: yup
[06:55:00] Gumby: atrpms repository is broken for mythtv 0.19
[06:56:00] Mudhoney: using wine for dvd programs is more than likely a lot more work than using linux dvd player software
[06:56:00] dev-: no reason windvd/powerdvd wouldnt work under wine, but you i doubt lirc would work. infact im 99% sure it wouldnt
[06:56:00] dev-: yeah its just toobad xine sort of sucks
[06:56:00] xris: Yellow-Snow: personally, I use a dvd player
[06:56:00] dev-: it plays 80% of dvds, but that 20% makes it suck.
[06:57:00] Puh: are there any known problems with 2.4.x kernels and the linuxtv-1.1.1 -dvb package?
[06:57:00] Yellow-Snow: i know xris.. thats the best way to go.. but i wonder there has to be a decent alternatve
[06:57:00] Mudhoney: there are other players, I'm not sure all the ones I've used but I've been able to play just about everything with mplayer/xine
[06:57:00] Puh: it seems that my tuners get jammed every now and then and i'm suspecting a kernel/driver upgrade might help
[06:57:00] dev-: gone in 60 seconds wont play in xine
[06:57:00] dev-: retail
[06:57:00] dev-: heh
[06:58:00] dev-: apollo13 wont either
[06:58:00] dev-: there's a few others i have that wont, but all of them work fine in mplayer
[06:58:00] Mudhoney: do they use a special encryption?
[06:58:00] dev-: they work in mplayer
[06:59:00] dev-: which is fine and dandy, but menu support is nice ;p
[06:59:00] dev-: i use xbox's to play dvds on my tvs anyway, would just be nice if there was 1 program that could play all dvds
[06:59:00] dev-: oh, with menu support ;)
[06:59:00] Yellow-Snow: there is
[06:59:00] Yellow-Snow: just lirc wont work
[06:59:00] Mudhoney: you should find out why they wont play
[07:00:00] Yellow-Snow: my comp locks up when i try to play a dvd
[07:00:00] Yellow-Snow: using mplayer
[07:00:00] Mudhoney: vlc is another option, I think it has menu support
[07:00:00] Mudhoney: if you find out why those specific movies don't work you can do something about it instead of just saying they don't work :)
[07:01:00] dev-: and how would i find out why they dont work. its not like it cant decrypt with libdvdcss, it opens .ifo, it loads to menu, then you hit play and it segfaults
[07:02:00] dev-: i have a few hundred movies, only a couple dont work
[07:02:00] Mudhoney: alright, so then it's a matter of google and talking to the developers, helping them fix the problem
[07:02:00] Mudhoney: oh I see
[07:02:00] dev-: libdvdread: Found 4 VTS's
[07:02:00] dev-: libdvdread: Elapsed time 0

[07:05:00] Yellow-Snow: my xine says "no input plugin to handle"
[07:05:00] dev-: again, the vast majority of my dvds play fine. its just a few that dont. but those few that dont just shows that xine could not be trusted, at least in my case, to be my sole dvd player

[07:42:00] xris: I think most people just fix the first AllowOverride they see, instead of the correct one.
[07:42:00] Gumby: xris: I have everything set propery, mod_env is set in httpd.conf, all the db settings are correct but I see no activity at all in the db log files.
[07:42:00] xris: Gumby: what's mythweb say when you access it?
[07:43:00] Gumby: same type of error as Arkkis stated
[07:43:00] ** Gumby checks the AllowOverride instructions **
[07:45:00] xris: Gumby: follow that link I pasted to him
[07:45:00] xris: there's been a fair amount of discussion about it on the mailing list

[07:52:00] xris: quitte: pvr-150 works fine
[07:53:00] Gumby: yep, already did. allthough I dont see mythweb stuff in there
[07:53:00] xris: Gumby?
[07:53:00] quitte: xris: yay. ill buy one then. a replacement with same chipset shoulddo the trick i guess?
[07:53:00] Gumby: xris: sorry, mythweather
[07:53:00] jarango: What tw-tunner TV card is best supported in Mythtv ?
[07:53:00] JoeyJoeJo: does anyone know if the pvr-350 can record on multiple inputs at the same time?
[07:53:00] quitte: 32¤ well spent :D
[07:53:00] xris: Gumby: in the code
[07:53:00] fryfrog: JoeyJoeJo: no cards can do that, afaik
[07:53:00] xris: modules/weather
[07:53:00] fryfrog: JoeyJoeJo: while it has different inputs, it only has one mpeg encoder
[07:53:00] xris: jarango: mythtv doesn't care. if it works in linux, it should work in mythtv.
[07:54:00] JoeyJoeJo: fryfrog: darn, that sucks.
[07:54:00] xris: as for the specific, that depends on what type of tv you want to receive.
[07:54:00] fryfrog: JoeyJoeJo: not really, if it could record from multiple inputs at the same time it'd be more expensive :)
[07:54:00] xris: JoeyJoeJo: only the pvr-500, and only because it's designed to have 2 inputs
[07:54:00] RancidLM: hey all.. my card has svideo input and composite input.. how do i switch to use them if i hook up a video game system into it?
[07:54:00] quitte: ugh :( not even dvb-s can be used to record multipleprograms on a stream at a time?
[07:54:00] fryfrog: You might consider looking at a pvr500
[07:54:00] xris: quitte: still has to tune to a single channel to get the stream
[07:55:00] fryfrog: RancidLM: you don't wanna hook a game up to myth
[07:55:00] fryfrog: the delay makes it un-trivial to play
[07:55:00] jarango: xris: What card would you recommend than ?
[07:55:00] quitte: xris: and there is no code that knows for example that pro7 and sat1 are on the sae stream?
[07:55:00] Gumby: xris: and how does one use that module exactly?? I seem to have missed something
[07:55:00] RancidLM: fryfrog: i just wanna view my other inputs

[07:56:00] k-man: is there .debs of .19 yet?
[07:56:00] fryfrog: RancidLM: you can set new inputs up in Mythsetup i spose?
[07:56:00] RancidLM: fryfrog: but in mythtv front end how do i switch the inputs
[07:56:00] quitte: ill propably live togeher with a friend and two dvb-s cards
[07:56:00] mchou: defaultro: heh, I'd be interested in that as well
[07:56:00] xris: you wanted to know about the database, and it's a fairly simple grep for "settings" in that code to see what it pulls
[07:56:00] fryfrog: put say channel 999 on a new listing, bind that to the "svideo" input and then turn to channel 999
[07:56:00] Gumby: xris: lol, thats my problem. I cant get it configured in the first place. It doesnt seem to save any of the settings I give it.
[07:56:00] RancidLM: fryfrog: i used "c" but it does nothing
[07:56:00] defaultro: hey mchou
[07:56:00] defaultro: what's up?
[07:56:00] Gumby: xris: it says press "i" to save. So I do, but nothing gets saved.
[07:56:00] fryfrog: the Y key will switch between card?
[07:56:00] mchou: defaultro: not much
[07:56:00] fryfrog: RancidLM: if it isn't setup, what would it switch between?

[07:58:00] defaultro: so it should record 24 next week :)
[07:58:00] mchou: defaultro: you mean you upgraded to 0.19?
[07:58:00] defaultro: am upgrading now
[07:58:00] defaultro: but i have been using trunk

[07:59:00] scott: Anyone here regularly just set programs to auto flag commercials and then transcode afterwards? if so, how often do you run into problems where it doesn't flag correctly and you miss parts of shows or still have commercials? or does it usually vary from network to network depending on how clean their commercial segways are?
[07:59:00] mchou: defaultro: I'm not upgrading till the next OS distro release comes out.
[07:59:00] defaultro: mchou, i just hope that with this version, it will show all the channels be it from different tuner
[07:59:00] sphery: xris, did you find your screenshot prog?
[08:00:00] defaultro: mchou, am still on FC3
[08:00:00] defaultro: about 3 weeks ago, I upgraded lirc, kernel and nvidia drivers
[08:00:00] mchou: defaultro: what do you mean? I though you set your own channel sources?
[08:00:00] defaultro: mchou, yes. What I mean is in LiveTV
[08:01:00] mchou: bah. Who needs liveTV
[08:01:00] defaultro: mchou, coz currently, when i LiveTV, and assuming it chooses tuner1, it will only show channels for tuner1
[08:01:00] mchou: defaultro: sometimes you really puzzle me :)
[08:01:00] defaultro: why?
[08:02:00] mchou: Watching liveTV defats the whole purpose of myth :)
[08:02:00] mchou: defeats*
[08:02:00] defaultro: :D
[08:02:00] quitte: mchou: imagine soccer world championships and you hear the sounds outside 5 min before you know why
[08:02:00] defaultro: i seldome do LiveTV
[08:02:00] defaultro: seldom
[08:02:00] rav3r: funny how there is a "play dvd" option, but no "play audio cd" option...
[08:02:00] xris: sphery: didn't want a prog, just a keystroke. gave up on screenshots until I could get channel icons installed.... found an rpm mess when I tried to install xmltv
[08:02:00] defaultro: mchou, once every 2 weeks
[08:02:00] mchou: quitte: then I tun on the TV w/o using myth, fool
[08:02:00] mchou: turn*

[08:03:00] mchou: quitte: well, that's YOUR problem :)
[08:03:00] defaultro: mchou, next thing I will buy is a nice htpc case. Currently, the case ruins my home theater
[08:03:00] defaultro: prolly when i move to the new house
[08:04:00] mchou: quitte: what about the rare instances when myth breaks down or your OS/HW breaks? :)
[08:04:00] defaultro: I'm thinking of D-vine Ahanix but the power supply is just 300watts, it's lame
[08:04:00] quitte: mchou: then i drink beer and fix it
[08:04:00] mchou: quitte: redunancy is a good thing :)
[08:04:00] quitte: mchou: as in always have a bottle left?

[08:05:00] quitte: mchou: ypui hae only one power supply
[08:05:00] quitte: argh
[08:05:00] mchou: quitte: muhahaha
[08:05:00] sphery: xris: OK. Was going to suggest xwd (with "-frame" if you want decorations) for easy command-line access, but it requires using convert or something to go to PNG/JPEG.

[08:09:00] mchou: defaultro: haha
[08:10:00] mchou: stop joking around
[08:10:00] jarango: Are there any converters from PAL to NTSC ?
[08:10:00] defaultro: what's your recommendation
[08:10:00] tfm: defaultro: adaptec is acceptable ;)
[08:10:00] quitte: mchou: throw them away. hdds are cheap. and software raid is expensive in cpu power
[08:10:00] mchou: my recommendation is to use linux SW raid :)

[08:10:00] defaultro: ok
[08:10:00] defaultro: then just use the built in SATA controller?
[08:11:00] xris: defaultro: kernel raid is WAY better than promise raid.
[08:11:00] tfm: sw raid is cheap, but difficult in recovery
[08:11:00] defaultro: xris, ok
[08:11:00] tfm: hw raid is expensive, but easy in recovery
[08:11:00] defaultro: how many harddisk can we stack in SATA?
[08:11:00] xris: if you're using linux, 3ware is really your only reliable choice... lsi is decent, and adaptec is FINALLY providing some decent linux support, but it's lagging.
[08:11:00] mchou: hw raid is also BUGGY
[08:11:00] xris: defaultro: sata is one plug, one drive
[08:11:00] quitte: tfm: i dontsee how recovery with linux sw raid is difficult
[08:11:00] defaultro: ouch
[08:12:00] tfm: xris: adaptec has _good_ support, I'm using a 2400a now already for 5 years, excellent card
[08:12:00] xris: defaultro: my new mobo has like 6 onboard plugs.
[08:12:00] defaultro: badabing
[08:12:00] tfm: quitte: I know out of experience that software raid causes problems at multiple people, as /boot is typically not mirrored
[08:12:00] defaultro: so if we are going to use sw linux raid, what type of card do we need so we can have multiple HDDs?
[08:12:00] xris: tfm: must be on the small scale. we've only started carrying them recently, and they still haven't made it out of the testing phase... but adaptec is really pushing us to use their stuff.
[08:13:00] mchou: tfm: how many times you write to /boot?
[08:13:00] xris: defaultro: standard sata card would be fine
[08:13:00] mchou: lol
[08:13:00] quitte: defaultro: a controller for the hdds ;)
[08:13:00] Gumby: does anyone here use mythweather and is willing to show me the relevant info in their database for it so Ican figure out what to put into mine? I cant seem to get anything to save in the mythtv weather setup
[08:13:00] tfm: xris: depending on their controllers, their is support, as with every hw in linux
[08:13:00] defaultro: xris, how many can it accomodate?
[08:13:00] tfm: mchou: not a lot --> causing the problems after 2 years
[08:13:00] xris: defaultro: how many drives are you intending to plug in?
[08:13:00] mchou: tfm: back up your /boot on a usb stick :)
[08:13:00] defaultro: about 5 huge drives
[08:14:00] quitte: defaultro: no problem
[08:14:00] xris: defaultro: with raid5? then spend some money and get a nice 3ware card.
[08:14:00] tfm: blah, I would never advice linux sw raid to somebody, its just not acceptable
[08:14:00] fryfrog: defaultro: my mb has 8x sata plugs :)
[08:14:00] tfm: as long as linux LVM isn;t mature and doesn';t supprt raid1, go for hw raid
[08:14:00] mchou: tfm: bullshit
[08:14:00] xris: tfm: raid1 is way better in kernel raid than hardware.
[08:14:00] defaultro: whew!! :D
[08:14:00] fryfrog: that is bs
[08:14:00] fryfrog: for sure :)
[08:14:00] mchou: fryfrog: what's bs?
[08:14:00] fryfrog: linux software raid is fine, but if you can spend the $$ on a good card hardware is better

[08:16:00] jarango: I am looking into byuing a PAL/NTSC adapter. Does anyone have any experience with these ?
[08:16:00] quitte: tfm: there is no reason to not use sw raid1 on /boot

[08:16:00] tfm: jarango: a big group goes for PVR cards from hauppauge due to their easy use
[08:16:00] xris: tfm: you either do the rebuild in the hardware's bios, or in linux... the ease you have in using the raid bios is part of the cost of the card.
[08:16:00] fryfrog: tfm: what special procedure do you need? I have 2 entries in my grub.conf
[08:16:00] tfm: jarango: look mythtv wiki for supported cards

[08:17:00] mchou: tfm: how can boot be out of date?
[08:17:00] tfm: xris: my point ;), but with hw raid, its all in the background, just replace a disk and reboot....
[08:17:00] mchou: if it's out of date it wont boot :)
[08:17:00] tfm: mchou: linux sw raid doesn't mirror /boot
[08:17:00] xris: tfm: raid1 does
[08:17:00] fryfrog: tfm: sure it does
[08:18:00] fryfrog: well, sorta
[08:18:00] tfm: it doesn't....
[08:18:00] fryfrog: it can't / doesn't boot from /dev/mdX
[08:18:00] fryfrog: but it can boot from the partition that they use
[08:18:00] fryfrog: ie, /dev/sda1 and /dev/sdb1
[08:18:00] mchou: tfm: that's what usb sticks are for
[08:19:00] rav3r: found the play audio cd option. it wasn't as intuitive as mythDVD
[08:19:00] mchou: back up /boot on a usb stick
[08:19:00] fryfrog: but sure, a *good* hardware raid card is better than software raid :)
[08:19:00] tfm: soit, not having this discussion, have fun wioth your own choice, and enjoy it ;)
[08:19:00] fryfrog: software raid though is a *cheap* way to do raid
[08:19:00] mchou: fryfrog: it's also about 20x more expensive
[08:19:00] tfm: I'll keep on using my adaptec 2400a, supported since 5 years ;)
[08:19:00] fryfrog: anything times 0 is 0 :)
[08:19:00] Gumby: woulnd anyone here that uses mythweather be willing to run a few sql command for me?
[08:20:00] fryfrog: i'll use a 3ware card if you send it to me :)
[08:20:00] mchou: tfm: haha, wait till your /boot goes corrupt
[08:20:00] mchou: no raid will help that
[08:20:00] tfm: mchou: it can only happen in userspace
[08:20:00] mchou: USB stick back-ups :)
[08:20:00] mchou: tfm: huh??
[08:21:00] tfm: I've been using linux now for 11 years and I've never seen /boot getting corrupted
[08:21:00] tfm: except when we had ext2 bugs
[08:21:00] mchou: '/boot can only go bad in userspace?
[08:21:00] mchou: lol
[08:21:00] fryfrog: he means like, users deleting shit
[08:21:00] fryfrog: i don't keep my /boot mounted, so in theory it couldn't get corrupted from dirty reboots
[08:21:00] tfm: or processes accessing the files --> user space
[08:22:00] fryfrog: but nothing stops users or what not from nuking it when its mounted :)

[08:22:00] fryfrog: adaptec ide or scsi card?
[08:22:00] fryfrog: 5 years, thats gotta be scsi and like 8–16G drives?
[08:22:00] tfm: ide
[08:22:00] tfm: 2400a
[08:22:00] mchou: haha!!
[08:22:00] tfm: that a 4port raid5 card
[08:22:00] fryfrog: ah
[08:22:00] fryfrog: how much cache?
[08:23:00] tfm: I think I have 32MB
[08:23:00] tfm: sufficient for my needs
[08:23:00] tfm: but you can make it bigger

[08:33:00] Juski: mchou: maybe they won't

[08:34:00] tfm: I've seen these kind of encryptions comming and going, they all eventually get broken
[08:35:00] Juski: if it means, sometime down the line, that someone can't continue to use their plasma/lcd they bought before hdcp came out, maybe consumers will revolt
[08:35:00] Juski: tfm: yes, but now there's the DMCA
[08:35:00] tfm: juski: for us people
[08:35:00] mchou: Juski: shit, I'm revolting cause my vidcard wont support HDCP :)
[08:35:00] tfm: juski: here in europe that is _no_ problem

[08:36:00] Juski: RancidLM: you can indeed use SATA1 controllers with SATA2 devices, and vice versa
[08:37:00] tfm: juski: but we can reverse eng., its our right

[08:37:00] RancidLM: Juski: thnx
[08:37:00] Juski: he got away with it, but not befor they hauled his ass off
[08:38:00] mchou: Juski: what do you mean? Is DVD Jon in a gulag somewhere?
[08:38:00] Juski: they still took him to court didn't they?
[08:38:00] xris: Juski: and he won. every time
[08:38:00] mchou: Juski: indeed. But he won, no?
[08:39:00] Juski: who'd of thought though.. "europe, the land of the free" lol
[08:39:00] xris: is norway europe?
[08:39:00] tfm: juski: that was a test trial for europe which he won
[08:39:00] mchou: "winning in court" is of course an oxymoron in this case :)

[08:39:00] ** xris kicks his mythbox to make apt go faster **
[08:39:00] Juski: didn't they decide to change the law so it won't happen again though?
[08:40:00] tfm: juski: more specific, in scandenavian country's, its your right to reverse eng.
[08:40:00] mchou: Juski: I think so.
[08:40:00] Juski: anyway, after yesterday I don't think it's a good idea I think too much about this stuff. it can get very disheartening
[08:40:00] mchou: Juski: what happened yesterday?
[08:41:00] tfm: and some months ago, the bill on software patents was rejected by the european parlement, so thats a good sign
[08:41:00] Juski: I thought a lot about this and how we consumers are being screwed over left, right & centre
[08:41:00] mchou: Juski: I dont think consumers are being screwed.
[08:42:00] mchou: Juski: I just wont spend any money on crap
[08:42:00] Juski: I figure that if DRM becomes untenable or unavoidable, I'll just end up not watching TV

[08:42:00] Juski: hopefully a few million will think the same way (yeh right)
[08:42:00] mchou: Juski: yeah, that too
[08:43:00] mchou: Juski: I consider myself relatively savvy technically. But if I'm confused, so will Joe SixPack
[08:43:00] mchou: and confusion means ppl wont spend money :)
[08:43:00] Juski: true
[08:43:00] xris: mchou: unfortunately, in that case, confusion will mean that people will buy with ignorance.
[08:44:00] mchou: xris: naw, I give them more credit than that....
[08:44:00] mchou: they will revolt when "What do you mean my plasma wont work??"
[08:44:00] Juski: what I'm most bothered about isn't that there's no open source solution to all this – it's mostly that very few companies stand to gain from it.
[08:44:00] xris: you seriously give them that much credit? the 40% who didn't vote, and the 51% of the others who voted for mr monkey face?
[08:45:00] xris: Juski: it's all about lobyists and misinformation
[08:45:00] mchou: xris: that's only in US where ppl are poorly edumacated :)
[08:45:00] xris: mchou: and that's where all of these copying laws are coming from
[08:45:00] Juski: mchou: we have plenty of unedumacted peeps here in Europe, believe me

[10:07:00] abcde: Oh.
[10:08:00] Gumby: I think something went wrong with the backend or something becuase I also started to have issues with mythweb

[11:52:00] juski: that's what interlacing is – splitting one frame of video into 2 fields

[12:33:00] Jasper: now it gets complicated

[12:34:00] ** juski digs into walls & floors at home with impunity **
[12:35:00] directhex|work: Jasper, the video & audio quality you'd get by adding an RF modulation/demodulation step would be painful
[12:35:00] directhex|work: think of a home-recorded VHS tape, once the tape's been well-used
[12:35:00] sndguru: :P what about a 10mbit coax network
[12:35:00] juski: directhex|work: it's not that bad if you buy a decent modulator
[12:36:00] juski: having onlt mono audio would bother me though
[12:36:00] directhex|work: juski, it's pretty shit. but i've got a frontend next to my tv, hooked up via VGA
[12:36:00] directhex|work: and i've played enough games consoles through really bad connections to get an appreciation for good signals
[12:37:00] Jasper: but juski I have analog television input?
[12:37:00] juski: yeh but console modulators are pretty shitty
[12:37:00] Jasper: so that's mono anyways?
[12:37:00] juski: Jasper: mostly
[12:38:00] Jasper: I just figured...without mythtv is comes over the same cable...so with mythtv in between it can't be much worse..if it goes over the same cable..
[12:39:00] juski: for that to work, there's got to be free frequency space on the cable
[12:39:00] Jasper: how do you mean?
[12:40:00] juski: I mean – you'd have to tune the output of the RF modulator to a frequency that doesn't already have a TV channel on it
[12:40:00] Jasper: why? I mean the tv won't have any channels on the cable any more EXCEPT mythtv
[12:40:00] juski: and also one that isn't so close to an existing channel that it causes interference
[12:41:00] Jasper: I don't want to combine mythtv in a channel

[12:49:00] juski: 20 metres thick? where the hell do you live? in the vaults of a bank?!
[12:49:00] Spida: juski: *g*
[12:49:00] Rule: a bank isnt 20 meters thick :)
[12:50:00] Jasper: no it has to go from the living room to another room
[12:50:00] Jasper: through the walls
[12:50:00] Jasper: :P
[12:50:00] juski: if it's a stud partition you don't even need a drill
[12:50:00] Rule: so drill multiple times :)
[12:50:00] Jasper: don't need to drill..
[12:50:00] Jasper: all the holes are allready there..
[12:50:00] Jasper: it's just that I don't think I can get a s-video connecter through them
[12:50:00] Jasper: :P
[12:51:00] Rule: oic... solder :)
[12:51:00] juski: widen the holes, dummass
[12:51:00] Jasper: it's no good to widen them since there are pipes behind them with the same width..
[12:51:00] Jasper: all the pipes got installed on building the house..
[12:52:00] juski: really? what will they think of next
[12:52:00] juski: can you go under the floor? that's usually the shortest route
[12:53:00] Jasper: no
[12:53:00] juski: sometimes a good way to go between rooms too without drilling into walls.. esp. if it's a simple partition.. the floorspace can be continuous
[12:54:00] coffee88: How about a wireless video sender?
[12:55:00] fryfrog: you could go for the, cable all over the house method?
[12:55:00] juski: fucking hell no. wireless senders are crap
[12:55:00] coffee88: but easier than drilling?
[12:55:00] Jasper: juski I just found a site saying hf converters can deliver stereo sound
[12:55:00] juski: like your TV with wiggly lines? get a wireless sender :-P
[12:55:00] dtm: wifi bridge with optional directional antennas
[12:55:00] juski: Jasper: depends where you live & what TV system you use

[12:56:00] juski: netherlans use NICAM stereo don't you? it's slightly tricky modulating nicam stereo
[12:57:00] Rule: mythfrontend ... cat5 and be done with it ;)
[12:57:00] Spida: Rule: ack.
[12:57:00] juski: Jasper: you can buy (or make) little boxes to take svideo & audio that put all the signals on one cat5 cable
[12:57:00] juski: then you just have one cable to run for everything
[12:57:00] Rule: been thinking about adding another... there is something tempting about the MediaMVP from hauppauge... tell me Im wrong
[12:58:00] Jasper: yeah but what to do with cat5?

[12:58:00] Jasper: :P
[12:58:00] juski: Jasper: cat5 is what 6mm diameter – easy to route
[12:58:00] juski: you missed my point – you can buy or make video & audio to cat5 converters
[12:58:00] Jasper: hmm ok but then you also have to convert it back right?
[12:59:00] juski: I've got a cable box downstairs plugged into my backend machine upstairs
[12:59:00] Spida: Unexpected response to MYTH_PROTO_VERSION 'MYTH_PROTO_VERSION 26' <- whats this?

[14:12:00] Yellow-Snow: u forgot dirty*
[14:12:00] kahuna_: Jasper: I wouldn't do that personally. I like to see if there are any blockers.
[14:13:00] Jasper: what do you mean?
[14:13:00] juski: if you do it regularly you've got nothing to worry about, but 42 packages updating, and sweeping changes in some of them... it's like "eeeeeeeeeeeek"
[14:13:00] kahuna_: Some new packages can conflict (block) newer packeages.
[14:13:00] Jasper: hmm
[14:13:00] Jasper: can't you overforce that or something?

[14:14:00] kahuna_: If you run it automatically, you don't get to see the blockers and might never get an important update.
[14:14:00] coffee88: I never bother updating for minor version bumps though...
[14:14:00] juski: when I upgraded apache on my old spare box, it took me a couple of hours in #gentoo to sort it out.. turned out I didn't have enough entropy for php4 to work :-/
[14:14:00] juski: i.e. my random number generator wasn't random enough
[14:14:00] kahuna_: Jasper: I dont think so. a blocking condition happens when portage is not smart enough to do it on it's own and requires human intervention.
[14:15:00] coffee88: I think I was reading that log today for some random reason. It was a headless box, huh?
[14:15:00] juski: it was at that point I realised I'm not the kind of person who's suited to using gentoo
[14:15:00] kahuna_: It happens more often than you might think too.

[14:15:00] kahuna_: juski: I mostly use ubuntu these days, but gentoo on my myth box. There's advantages to useing a source based distro when you run svn stuff :)
[14:15:00] Jasper: juski so are you gonna change system?
[14:16:00] juski: totally gonna change system
[14:16:00] Jasper: to wha?
[14:16:00] Jasper: what
[14:16:00] juski: kahuna_: ubuntu can do svn too
[14:16:00] juski: it's no harder
[14:16:00] laga: even my debian sarge can do svn *shrug*
[14:16:00] kahuna_: I know, but when I'm compiling a bunch of sources I like the package masking in gentoo more than checkinstall in debian.
[14:17:00] kahuna_: just a personal preference.

[14:20:00] rjune: using the high ascii set?
[14:20:00] ** ivor shrugs, just lame and sad in equal measure. who cares? **

[14:21:00] juski: more likely the MPAA & RIAA are gonna go after him, if you know what I mean
[14:21:00] kahuna_: I tried out xvmc and I only got 5% CPU, but it studdered like a drunken whore. I'm looking forward to the day when xvmc works good, because then I can play HD on my box.
[14:22:00] ivor: kahuna_: what h/w
[14:22:00] juski: xvmc gives me <15% CPU usage using my EPIA 1Ghz. looks very nice too
[14:22:00] Jasper: weeee it finished compiling gcc :P

[14:23:00] Merlin83b: What graphics card, kahuna_?
[14:23:00] kahuna_: nvidia fx5200
[14:23:00] juski: btw Jasper watch out for xmltv stopping working when the dependency check doesn't pull in all the PERL modules you need
[14:23:00] directhex|work: kahuna_, use the 7676 driver
[14:24:00] Jasper: that's what happend on debian juski
[14:24:00] kahuna_: directhex|work: Is it stable? The stable gentoo driver is 65-something IIRC
[14:24:00] Jasper: no perl modules were installed...and I couldn't get them installed
[14:24:00] Jasper: ..
[14:24:00] juski: _that_ is why you swapped distro?
[14:24:00] juski: cpan is great for that
[14:24:00] directhex|work: kahuna_, 8178 is the current stable driver from nvidia. 7676 is the only one with working xvmc
[14:24:00] Jasper: I installed the CPAN:Bundle
[14:24:00] kahuna_: anything lower than that doesn't work then?
[14:24:00] laga: 7676 worked fine for me with xvmc
[14:24:00] Jasper: but it missed like all this important stuff.... and I didn't wanna install them one by one..
[14:24:00] Jasper: :P
[14:25:00] directhex|work: dh_make_perl!
[14:25:00] kahuna_: I'll have to try it along with that tasty chromakey OSD
[14:25:00] Merlin83b: Now that I do need to try.
[14:25:00] ivor: I thought it was the opengl sync that was the trouble... or is it completely broke?
[14:25:00] laga: chromakey OSd rocks :)
[14:25:00] Jasper: and besides I wanted to try something else..
[14:25:00] juski: how's the chromakey OSD with via XvMC?
[14:26:00] juski: I'll know before long, but just curious
[14:26:00] kahuna_: is chromakey in 0.19? or do I have to patch?
[14:26:00] Jasper: and waiting for this compilation gives me time to write a letter in english to get a job :P
[14:26:00] Merlin83b: Meant to be good juski.
[14:26:00] directhex|work: are there any hot sexy nekkid pics of the new theme in 0.19?
[14:26:00] juski: just do the download & try it
[14:26:00] kahuna_: what new theme?
[14:26:00] juski: mythcenter (sic)
[14:27:00] kahuna_: I've been using SVN for so long that I take anything "new" for granted :)
[14:27:00] directhex|work: where "just do the download" means "upgrade your backend & all frontends, and edit dsmyth to work with 0.19 too"?
[14:27:00] juski: no.. download the source & just copy the theme across
[14:27:00] juski: pfft
[14:27:00] ivor: wonder if anyone's ever tried working out whether an opensource xvmc lib was possible.
[14:28:00] kahuna_: So the 7676 driver is the way to go then? Even better than earlier drivers?
[14:28:00] ivor: s/xvmc/nvidia xvmc/

[14:29:00] coffee88: Asked before, and the solution's still not on the gentoo forums, or any obvious searches.... The old 18 ebuild ran the backend as root, and 19 now as mythtv... This seems to cause some big issues. Anything I need to know/do before upgrading?
[14:29:00] marco_g: Hi
[14:30:00] directhex|work: chown -R mythtv /
[14:30:00] coffee88: heh
[14:30:00] ivor: lol
[14:30:00] kahuna_: haha

[14:31:00] directhex|work: gah, what a bunch of geeks. commands are funny now? ;)
[14:31:00] kahuna_: coffee88: Just launch your backend under the user that you want ot run it.
[14:31:00] coffee88: Spida: ringbuffer and recording perms, I think, though no one is quite sure,....
[14:31:00] kahuna_: Make sure all suid bits are turned off except for maybe root on the frontend
[14:31:00] Spida: coffee88: what kind of symptoms?
[14:32:00] Jasper: hmm coffee88 that means I'm about to be f*cked..
[14:32:00] Spida: kahuna_: why?
[14:32:00] coffee88: can't view TV, and can't record new shows, but can watch old ones....
[14:32:00] kahuna_: Spida: there's no sense in it if you run it as the user that owns your myth files.
[14:32:00] Spida: yeah, ok
[14:33:00] coffee88: Jasper: There are a couple of suggestions of things to try – maily chaning perms, but they seem a bit like stabs in the dark. YMMV
[14:33:00] directhex|work: probably permissions on ringbuffer.nuv, and the myth recordings/buffer directories
[14:33:00] Jasper: hmm coffee88 we'll see what happends..it's just compiling 23 of 50 so I have a lot of time to go
[14:33:00] ivor: and permissions on capture devices.
[14:33:00] Jasper: before actually seeing the result :P
[14:33:00] kahuna_: coffee88: chown -R mythtv <your video directory>
[14:33:00] Jasper: glibc now
[14:33:00] Jasper: ..
[14:34:00] kahuna_: You do have your video dir on a separate partition right? ;)
[14:34:00] coffee88: Jasper: heh. I'd wait to see how you got on, but I'm updating a 600 epia.... Might have to risk it anyway, if I don't want to have to wait a week....
[14:35:00] Jasper: where did you hear about those problems?
[14:35:00] coffee88: kahuna_: I'll see if I have issues. I'm sure they can be solved....
[14:35:00] marco_g: Yesterday I installed MythTV on my PC and it is working great.
[14:35:00] Spida: ah, permissions, cool
[14:35:00] coffee88: Jasper: Forums. I always check there now before I try new stuff, just in case it's not worth it.
[14:36:00] Spida: seems to work now
[14:36:00] marco_g: But I am using some crappy TV card that I borrowed and would like a better card.

[14:36:00] Merlin83b: Do you already have TV out?

[14:37:00] Jasper: :P
[14:37:00] marco_g: Merlin83b: I have a spare nvidia card, is that a good choice for a dedicated MythTV box?
[14:37:00] Merlin83b: marco_g: Yep, it's fine. You need a PVR500 if you want two tuners, or a PVR150 if you want one.
[14:37:00] marco_g: Merlin83b: Or can I better buy a PVR350? I wonder how well the TV out support is.
[14:38:00] Merlin83b: marco_g: nvidia cards work fine.
[14:38:00] coffee88: Jasper: Does your current back end run as root?
[14:38:00] Jasper: yea
[14:38:00] Jasper: but that can be changes easily I guess..
[14:38:00] madar: Hello this is probably going to sound like a dumb question but how can I change the channel? PVR150MCE
[14:38:00] coffee88: Anyone, does the real time threads help much? Is it worth running 19 as root to use them?
[14:38:00] Jasper: I got back and frontend on same machine..
[14:39:00] marco_g: Merlin83b: The PVR500 is quite cheap (120 euros), the PVR350 is 134 and the PVR150 is 75. So I think I can better buy the PVR500 when it comes to that.
[14:39:00] Jasper: I got a 500
[14:39:00] madar: I can only get the first channel 03 locally
[14:39:00] Merlin83b: marco_g: If you want two tuners, a PVR500 is your best bet.
[14:39:00] Jasper: it works ok...only I got a problem with interlace with them
[14:39:00] madar: sound works pictures great but no changing to another channel
[14:39:00] Jasper: might be the drivers...waiting for a response ..
[14:39:00] madar: any ideas what I should be doing?
[14:39:00] marco_g: Merlin83b: But I have seen reports that the PVR500 has worse video quality and the driver is still under development.
[14:40:00] marco_g: Merlin83b: Ok, cool, thanks. :-)
[14:40:00] kahuna_: the 150 is good quality and the drivers are the same as the 500.
[14:40:00] Merlin83b: A few people here have PVR500s. Jasper, juski.
[14:40:00] marco_g: kahuna_: Ah :-)
[14:40:00] kahuna_: There is no VBI though, and I had to hack the driver to work around a hardware bug.
[14:40:00] Jasper: 150 and 500 have same tuner right?
[14:41:00] marco_g: Are the specs available for the PVR500? If it comes to just some hacking, I could do that.
[14:41:00] madar: hey kahuna your using a PVR150MCE?
[14:41:00] kahuna_: I think so.
[14:41:00] kahuna_: Yup
[14:41:00] madar: I can't change channels any ideas?
[14:41:00] kahuna_: Channel change should work fine.
[14:41:00] marco_g: Are there any other Dutch people here, btw? I am moving to some city where I can get digital television over cable. I was wondering if anyone got that to work.
[14:41:00] Jasper: marco_g it aint hard setting the pvr 500 up...
[14:42:00] madar: what do you use to change them? This model has no remote and it doesn't seem to respond to the keyboard
[14:42:00] kahuna_: Not unless your box has a firewire port, or you can capture analog.

[14:43:00] kahuna_: madar: try the ivtv-tune program from the shell once.
[14:43:00] Jasper: so your worry is the quality of the tuner?
[14:43:00] madar: okay thanks

[14:43:00] Jasper: can't help you with that since I am still experiencing some problems myself..
[14:43:00] marco_g: Jasper: Related to the card?
[14:44:00] kahuna_: Quality is OK, but not near as good as the 300 of course. That's mostly due to the mpeg decoder in the 300 though.

[14:44:00] Jasper: marco_g take a look at http://home.planet.nl/~verberk/root/blaat.mpg ... that's how far I got with it...
[14:45:00] Jasper: kahuna_ you mean the 350?
[14:45:00] marco_g: kahuna_: I am not expecting perfect quality. I just don't want lines or some crap in the corner of the screen or so. :)
[14:45:00] kahuna_: yes, the 350 :)
[14:45:00] madar: up arrows right left plus minus page up, etc no dice
[14:45:00] Jasper: is the 350 tuner that much better then kahuna_ ?
[14:45:00] kahuna_: marco_g: That's not a problem for me.
[14:45:00] madar: and no ","s
[14:45:00] madar: ha
[14:45:00] kahuna_: not the tuner really, just the decoder.
[14:46:00] Jasper: weird...you would expect the cards having the same..
[14:46:00] kahuna_: madar: try brining up the guide with M
[14:46:00] marco_g: Jasper: Eek, TMF! ;-)
[14:46:00] Arkkis: xris, thanks for all the help, now I got mythweb working, new mythweb seems to be pretty nice
[14:46:00] Jasper: yeah..only channel which tuned automatically..
[14:46:00] ** Beirdo continues to shake his fist at Bell Canada **
[14:46:00] marco_g: How does audio input work on the PVR500?
[14:46:00] kahuna_: madar: then browse the guide to change the chan.
[14:47:00] madar: hmm, but I'm in an area where there is no EPG data
[14:47:00] marco_g: On the PVR350 you need an aditional cable to the soundcard, for the PVR500 it's not required, right?
[14:47:00] kahuna_: Don't worry, just try to change channels in the guide.
[14:47:00] Jasper: but marco_g why would you want a pvr if you're moving to digital tv?
[14:47:00] kahuna_: you'll still get the guide, just not filled in
[14:48:00] marco_g: Jasper: Because I want to do recordings, play movies, etc.
[14:48:00] Jasper: so?
[14:48:00] marco_g: Jasper: So what? :)
[14:48:00] Jasper: you can byt a nova-t?
[14:48:00] Jasper: buy even
[14:49:00] madar: dumb question again, but how do I navigate to the guide? Not seeing it in Mythfrontend
[14:49:00] Jasper: ?
[14:49:00] kahuna_: press M from livetv
[14:49:00] Jasper: or go to recordings
[14:49:00] Jasper: :P
[14:49:00] kahuna_: madar: then choose program guide.
[14:49:00] marco_g: Jasper: Well, that's why I asked how to get digital cable on the PC. :)
[14:49:00] Jasper: take a look at the nova-t on www.hauppauge.com

[14:50:00] directhex|work: i'll have a nova-t spare soon
[14:50:00] Jasper: the only problem is the lack of digital support in the netherlands at the moment...so if you move to a place without digital...you won't be able to use your box I think

[14:51:00] sphing: coffee88: then post on the wiki so i wont have the same problem... *yey*
[14:52:00] coffee88: Cool.
[14:52:00] kahuna_: madar: try scanning for channels
[14:52:00] madar: I can't see how to make it switch, enter isn't working
[14:52:00] marco_g: Jasper: Isn't Nova-T for satellite tv?
[14:52:00] Jasper: madar there's a list of commands on mythtv.org ?
[14:52:00] juski: just thought – I don't actually need to change distros. here I am moaning about having to maintain gentoo vs installing ubuntu, but getting xmltv working on ubuntu required some jumping through hoops
[14:53:00] kahuna_: enter should work. I'm guessing that your channels are programmed in incorrectly.
[14:53:00] Jasper: I believe it's also capable of receiving 'digital' air television
[14:53:00] laga: juski: keep your gentoo with your working yxmltv in a chroot
[14:53:00] Jasper: you should take a look at the specs
[14:53:00] kahuna_: just try scanning for channels madar. It's easier than entering them by hand
[14:53:00] madar: not seeing the "scan" option in there
[14:53:00] marco_g: Jasper: AFAIK there are two separate standards.
[14:53:00] Jasper: I believe the nova-t requires a faster pc?
[14:53:00] juski: laga: I think I'll get by, by just tarring up /usr.. then if the upgrade goes pear-shaped I'll just untar it back
[14:53:00] coffee88: yes, nova-t picks up digital dvt-b
[14:54:00] Jasper: yeah that's what I thought, so you should be able to use it..
[14:54:00] coffee88: nova t doesn't seem to use any cpu on a 600mhz epia.
[14:54:00] kahuna_: In mythtv-setup, channel editor, sources, then channel scanner.
[14:54:00] Jasper: but like I said..not everyone has digital..so if you move..you won't be able to use it..
[14:54:00] kahuna_: madar: But I also think it depends on the theme your using
[14:54:00] Merlin83b: Nova-t just dumps the raw mpeg2 stream onto the PCI bus, essentially.

[14:55:00] Merlin83b: Not much CPU required.
[14:55:00] juski: about 0.5% CPu typically ;-)
[14:55:00] Jasper: I meant the harddisk rates
[14:55:00] juski: what? like 2–5GB per hour? that's nothing really
[14:55:00] marco_g: Jasper: I was mainly asking because I don't know a thing about DVB and I was wondering if there was anyone here using it with the Essent cable TV. Because it would suck if I bought such a card, just to find out it is not compatible. ;-)
[14:55:00] juski: oops – 1 to 2 GB per hour
[14:56:00] kahuna_: Just like the hauppage cards as far as mpeg2 size. Maybe some additional stuff if you get the TS.
[14:56:00] madar: maybe that's it
[14:56:00] Jasper: yeah marco_g that would suck..but I can't help you with that...that's why I bought the analog...to be certain
[14:56:00] madar: this is in the frontend right?
[14:56:00] Kelerion: juski: got zoneminder compiled.. just configuring it all now
[14:56:00] kahuna_: madar: yes.
[14:56:00] Kelerion: worked a treat under ubuntu once it had all the deps
[14:56:00] kahuna_: Not in the frontend, but in mythtv-setup, sorry/
[14:56:00] marco_g: Jasper: According to wikipedia DVB-C is used for cable.
[14:56:00] Jasper: I think I'll wait for hdtv before switching to digital television marco_g
[14:57:00] juski: Kelerion: cool :-)
[14:57:00] Kelerion: will let you know how it goes
[14:57:00] marco_g: Jasper: Yeah, I can always buy another card later. :-)
[14:57:00] juski: reckon I'm ok just backing up the DB & /usr then?
[14:57:00] Jasper: if only we had hdtv here :(

[15:08:00] ** coffee88 wonders why olympic curling is so addictive to watch.... **
[15:08:00] madar: yeah I tried that and but I can't select Scan
[15:08:00] kahuna_: After you set up the video source you have to associate an input connection with it.
[15:09:00] ** stuarta wonders why coffee88 is even watching curling **
[15:09:00] madar: and I'm guessing it because it doesn't know what to scan
[15:09:00] ** coffee88 so does coffee88 **
[15:09:00] juski: coffee88: you mean I'm sat here at work waiting for my review when I could be at home watching curling?
[15:09:00] johnp_: madar : what kind of card are you using ? (Also what version of mythtv)
[15:09:00] ** stuarta sadly lost 1.5hrs to watching the snowboard half pipe on sat **
[15:09:00] coffee88: Yup! Womens curling no less...
[15:09:00] kahuna_: madar: I'm guessing it's because you didn't follow the directions exactly.
[15:10:00] Arkkis: Hey, anyone tried the new 0.19 editing of cutlist? Any problems with it?
[15:10:00] stuarta: works fine.

[15:10:00] marco_g: Jasper: You want to get your program guide somehow?
[15:10:00] madar: PVR150MCE
[15:10:00] marco_g: Jasper: There are some scripts to fetch the programs from tvgids.nl, although I have not tried them yet.
[15:10:00] Arkkis: stuarta, when I watch a recording, and hit "e", all I get is a similar effect like "pause"
[15:10:00] marco_g: Jasper: The default one didn't work for me, though.
[15:11:00] Jasper: yeah marco_g I used them
[15:11:00] juski: btw I checked into ivtvctl – there's nothing about field reversal
[15:11:00] ** coffee88 prefers the curling to the chores he knows he has to do before the gf gets home on f**** valentines day **
[15:11:00] Jasper: you need to download tv_grab_nl_py ...that's an updated grabber
[15:11:00] johnp_: madar : Assuming you've gone through steps 1–4 correctly then if you're using 0.18 it only works with dvb-t if you're using 0.19 dunno :)
[15:11:00] Jasper: but it's sooooo slow
[15:11:00] madar: myth 18.1
[15:11:00] stuarta: hmmmm.
[15:11:00] juski: hey Jasper: do an ivtvctl -C & pop the result into a pastebin for me would ya?
[15:11:00] Jasper: sure
[15:12:00] johnp_: madar : so it won't work.
[15:12:00] marco_g: Jasper: Oh...
[15:12:00] madar: sorry not sure what you mean by dvb-t
[15:12:00] madar: where should I be setting that?
[15:12:00] stuarta: Arkkis: more digging is required.
[15:13:00] kahuna_: madar: I think he meant to say that to marco

[15:22:00] marco_g: Is it easy to hack mythtv, to get patches applied, etc?
[15:22:00] diamon: Ok, I'm jumping on the excuse of 0.19's release to upgrade from Dedora Core 3 to 4, which will change my database from 3.24(or whatever 3.x) to 4. I've heard there's some kind of problem doing this, anyone know for sure? I was going to just use the backup and restore info from the Wiki.
[15:22:00] marco_g: Perhaps this is not the right channel to ask...
[15:22:00] stuarta: marco_g: yes.
[15:22:00] diamon: Dedora should be Fedora, of course. Arrgh.
[15:23:00] marco_g: Jasper: I see it now...

[15:31:00] Beirdo: I wrote the code for that last night

[15:45:00] juski: (720x576)

[15:45:00] Jasper: juski 400Xsomething
[15:46:00] Klatuu: I have the integrated directv box which does not degrade the picture
[15:46:00] Jasper: 480x480 I think
[15:46:00] diamon: Klatuu: I don't know the model. it's supposed to be some newer one, with a DVD writer built-in. She had it set to max, but it looked like what mine did when set to a hideous bitrate...
[15:46:00] Jasper: how can I set the resolution?

[15:49:00] stuarta: Arkkis: it shouldn't be crashing, so start there.
[15:50:00] Klatuu: does 0.19 work better with mysql 5?
[15:50:00] stuarta: sona_: did you --enable-dvb-eit when you compiled it?
[15:50:00] Jasper: hmm juski ... http://home.planet.nl/~verberk/720.mpg it's looks better doesn't it?
[15:50:00] Arkkis: stuarta, okay, should'nt be crashing.. ..next?
[15:51:00] sona_: stuarta: I use gentoo nad compiled with useflag dvb
[15:51:00] stuarta: Arkkis: firstly, how did you install it.
[15:51:00] Arkkis: emerge mythtv
[15:51:00] Arkkis: :)
[15:51:00] sona_: no shit dude :p
[15:52:00] sona_: ops
[15:52:00] Jasper: omg it's gonna compile a package of 23 mb now..
[15:52:00] Jasper: this is gonna take ages..
[15:52:00] coffee88: Jasper: What's it compiling now?
[15:52:00] Jasper: no clue
[15:52:00] Jasper: can't see
[15:52:00] Jasper: it's unpacking gcc-3.3.6.tar.bz2
[15:53:00] Jasper: looks like gcc
[15:53:00] Jasper: I thought it allready did that..
[15:53:00] coffee88: I thought it just did that?!
[15:53:00] Arkkis: stuarta, I used gentoo emerge to install mythtv. Everything else seems to be working fine, but the cutlist
[15:53:00] stuarta: juski is the gentoo expert :-P
[15:53:00] Jasper: gcc patches it says
[15:53:00] coffee88: heh
[15:54:00] Jasper: I think you'll win coffee88
[15:54:00] sona_: stuarta: but the problem is probably not eit... as I sad, can't scan for channels either, it only finds the transport id's, after that I see alot of timeouts and no table messages...
[15:54:00] Jasper: :P
[15:54:00] stuarta: is there an option to emerge myththemes?
[15:54:00] Jasper: juski did you see the new mpeg it looks better imho
[15:54:00] stuarta: sona_: that bit is a known problem, just repeat, it eventually finds them all
[15:54:00] coffee88: I will be impressed, if so!
[15:54:00] Arkkis: stuarta, ok, I'll harass juski then =)
[15:55:00] diamon: Jasper: Remember, there's a time-honored tradition of starting a compile, and then going to bed. Like magic, it's usually done by the time you're conscious again.  :)
[15:55:00] sona_: stuarta: ok, however it worked without any problems in 0.18
[15:55:00] Arkkis: juski, dude, do you have 0.19 running on your gentoo?
[15:55:00] Jasper: yeah diamon
[15:55:00] coffee88: stuarta: emerge mythtv-themes
[15:55:00] Jasper: but I didn't think it would take all day when I started it this morning
[15:55:00] Jasper: :P
[15:55:00] stuarta: I know. It's in a area that is being completely rewritten
[15:55:00] stuarta: Arkkis: what coffee88 said...
[15:56:00] sona_: when you emerge mythtv 0.19 mythtvthemes are a dependency
[15:56:00] Jasper: sona_ are teh plugins also a dependency then?
[15:56:00] sona_: nope
[15:56:00] stuarta: does it clear out the old themes tho?
[15:56:00] sona_: you'll have to emerge em later
[15:56:00] Jasper: so 0.19 doesn't use mplayer anymore right?
[15:56:00] Jasper: that's sweet
[15:56:00] Jasper: :P
[15:56:00] sona_: stuarta: it should

[15:59:00] sona_: Arkkis: are you using mythtv 0.19 or .18 ?
[15:59:00] Cardoe: Gentoo's MythTV 0.19 automatically pulls in mythtv-themes 0.19
[16:00:00] Jasper: GreyFoxx it didn't have it's own player ?

[16:00:00] Arkkis: .19
[16:00:00] Jasper: huh
[16:00:00] GreyFoxx: Ever since at least 0.18 you could specify "internal" in mythvideo to use the internal player
[16:01:00] Jasper: never saw that

[16:01:00] Jasper: I should read the tutorials..

[16:01:00] coffee88: Cardoe, are you aware of any issues moving from running mythbackend as root under 18 to mythtv in 19? There seem to be some issues in the forums
[16:01:00] diamon: Does it work better now in .19?
[16:01:00] GreyFoxx: I've been using the internal player happily since January
[16:01:00] GreyFoxx: err July
[16:01:00] Cardoe: coffee88: what forums?
[16:01:00] coffee88: Gentoo forums
[16:01:00] Cardoe: coffee88: the issue is mythbackend doesn't run as root anymore
[16:01:00] Cardoe: gimme a link?
[16:02:00] Arkkis: diamon, I'm happy with .19, but I was having crash issues with .18 and mysql5, so it's easy to be happy after that
[16:02:00] Cardoe: I love how I'm the maintainer
[16:02:00] Jasper: this is funny..I randomly catted my video to file yesterday and today...and I managed to cap the same music clip..
[16:02:00] GreyFoxx: I have a few videos that return a bad fps which myth doesn't handle well, but I plan on patching that. But that's 2 out of a couple thousand videos
[16:02:00] coffee88: 2 secs....
[16:02:00] Cardoe: And no one reports any issues to me
[16:03:00] Arkkis: Cardoe, I could report an issue with my cutlist, would that make you happy?
[16:03:00] diamon: Arkkis: Nice to know! I should have mysql4, as I was thinking to use FC4 and not get all bleeding-edge with FC5...
[16:03:00] Jasper: juski take a look at http://home.planet.nl/~verberk/root/test.mpg ...that's what you get when changing the resolution
[16:03:00] Merlin83b: Internal player eh? Wander what I'm using.
[16:04:00] Merlin83b: Probably mplayer.
[16:04:00] Jasper: I couldn't figure out the commands for mplayer
[16:04:00] Jasper: so always had to quit mythfrontend
[16:04:00] Jasper: :P
[16:04:00] Merlin83b: Came all set up for me. Mmm, knoppmyth :-)

[16:19:00] Beirdo: so if people want to add new commands, they make a plugin
[16:19:00] stuarta: Arkkis: currently out of ideas.
[16:19:00] juski: Jasper: both 720 examples look great here
[16:19:00] Beirdo: because C makes for small code which runs fast
[16:19:00] juski: the original file looks bluury but dithered – it's the video scaling doing that
[16:20:00] simcop2387: hope you don't plan on using already compiled code from people :)
[16:20:00] Cardoe: jvs: you're missing some needed modules in your kernel config

[16:21:00] GreyFoxx: My msntv is on the way here :)
[16:21:00] juski: 480x480 looked gash on my setup, but not as bad as yours did. 720x576 seems sweet to me though

[16:22:00] Jasper: the last link I posted is with highest bitrate

[16:23:00] jvs: Cardoe, just upgraded the kernel using oldconfig
[16:24:00] scopeuk: okguys which is quickest distro from 0 to myht in 3 hours or less preferably
[16:24:00] juski: Jasper – leave the capture size @ 720x576 but turn down the bitrate or you'll eat HDD space too quickly
[16:24:00] Beirdo: the one you are used to, scopeuk
[16:24:00] juski: that clip I sent is 2500kbps
[16:24:00] Jasper: k, but it's normal that a higher bitrate makes it look better juski ?

[16:36:00] stuarta: did it scan in one go, or did you need several attempts?
[16:36:00] coffee88: Jasper: it's mythtv itself that's taking this time. I suspect the others should be faster. But I'm convinced the box is never this slow.....
[16:36:00] sona_: 2 attempts
[16:36:00] stuarta: better than my last effort :)

[16:52:00] madar: just to test it

[16:53:00] Jasper: I used scantv

[16:54:00] madar: anyway, does anyone here have PVR150MCE have any thoughts on what I may be doing wrong?
[16:54:00] Jasper: or 720 ?
[16:54:00] madar: no
[16:54:00] madar: like 469.250

[18:31:00] Jasper: didn't complete etc-update
[18:32:00] xris: Chutt: kind of annoying. compressed static files would cut down on almost all of their issues.
[18:32:00] xris: let the clients handle the rest.
[18:33:00] Chutt: seems they're considering it
[18:33:00] Chutt: but they're looking for non-client invasive changes
[18:33:00] Chutt: probably due to the other 'developers' whining about changes being too difficult.
[18:34:00] Beirdo: yeah, you'd think that sucking down the entire lineup and filtering on the client machine would reduce their resource load...
[18:34:00] Beirdo: but other developers are lazy, overworked, etc.

[19:37:00] malaTG: rm
[19:37:00] xris: malaTG: reinstall the programs that put them there... which in this case would be php and mod_ssl
[19:37:00] kormoc: malaTG, you can't...
[19:37:00] xris: kormoc: he wanted to start over with a clean apache install
[19:37:00] kormoc: well, other then that
[19:37:00] kormoc: ahh, gotcha
[19:38:00] xris: malaTG: just do the rpm -e --nodeps thing for php and mod_ssl, etc.. then reinstall

[19:42:00] Baylink: If you have a different opinion of what makes a useful, helpful and friendly website than I do, that's fine. Characterising the approach I'm taking in the unequivocally bad terms you are is not an approach I'll accept.
[19:42:00] Chutt: basically, i do not want personal comments scattered throughout my documentation.
[19:43:00] Chutt: the release notes were created by kevin as part of the documentation.
[19:43:00] Jasper: will emerging the new mythtv version automatically install mythweb?
[19:44:00] xris: Jasper: I'd suggest removing the old one first, unless portage keeps track of deleted files, too.
[19:44:00] Chutt: putting 'Chris doesn't like repeating himself' in the release notes.. is that a new feature?
[19:44:00] Baylink: If you're treating the entire wiki as "your documentation" then I've made a mistake, and my work here is done.

[19:47:00] Baylink: 14:43:10] <Chutt> the release notes were created by kevin as part of thern documentation.
[19:47:00] Jasper: I HOPE NOT
[19:47:00] Jasper: :P
[19:47:00] Chutt: and that equates to the entire wiki... how?
[19:47:00] ** coffee88 gets called away for more "quality time"...... **
[19:47:00] Jasper: :p
[19:48:00] Baylink: That implies, since the release notes were created as a page on the *wiki* proper, going back to 0.17 or so, and not as part of the distributed documentation, that you mean that the entire site is "your documentation." At least, that's what it means to me.
[19:48:00] Chutt: you're insane.

[20:33:00] scopeuk: yes i type crap
[20:33:00] scopeuk: ive admited it on many occasions

[20:34:00] Kyler: Brightness = 160
[20:34:00] Kyler: Contrast = 50
[20:34:00] D-side: scopeuk: but, didnt you tell me once you've got a good reason for it?
[20:34:00] laga: D-side: i know, i ment understanding what he writes
[20:34:00] Kyler: Saturation = 64
[20:34:00] Kyler: Now recordings look decent. The saturation was getting set to 127 by Myth so I'm guessing there's a misunderstanding of the scale.
[20:34:00] D-side: laga: yeah, you've got that right.
[20:34:00] scopeuk: i told you i had a partial reson in being syslexic but beyond that its jsut lazyness
[20:34:00] Beirdo: hehe
[20:34:00] scopeuk: if im too mushed up tell me and ill retype the message slowly
[20:35:00] laga: nothing wrong with dyslexia, but mixed with laziness it's just deadly!
[20:35:00] scopeuk: yep
[20:35:00] D-side: thats right, i knew there was a reason i dont crap on you in #m0n0wall.

[20:38:00] scopeuk: ok
[20:38:00] scopeuk: i will make the effort when asking for help
[20:38:00] scopeuk: feel free to tell me to bugger off every one else does
[20:38:00] laga: D-side: ouch. i read an article about xen the other day and it was all great. nice to have a look behind the scenes ;)
[20:39:00] laga: scopeuk: you probably can expect pity for your dyslexia (i know it sucks), but not for your laziness.
[20:39:00] D-side: laga: dont get me wrong, xen IS great.
[20:40:00] laga: scopeuk: and if i fsck up my next english class test because i picked up some of your misspelt words, then we'll have to have a word or two again... ;)))

[22:00:00] Juski: Jasper: everything should be the same proto version
[22:00:00] Juski: or they may not work
[22:00:00] Jasper: yeah but I forgot to unmask

[22:03:00] Jasper: ah k
[22:03:00] Jasper: maybe me forgetting to update mythdvd makes my livetv fail..
[22:03:00] Arkkis: kormoc, where does one get that, do you use kde or?
[22:03:00] quitte: i asked a few times before – but as i still dont know – what is the status of saa7134? can it be used as a encoder or only as v4l device?
[22:03:00] coffee88: mythtv user has no groups, I suspect it could be that... Can't spend the time now to sort it though....
[22:04:00] Beirdo: quitte: it's a v4l device
[22:04:00] coffee88: Jasper: I updated mythdvd and still can't see it...

[22:05:00] kormoc: Arkkis, I use kde's konsole, aye. It should be included.
[22:05:00] Juski: some DVB cards are based on saa7134
[22:05:00] Arkkis: weird
[22:06:00] coffee88: Jasper: Not sure yet, but I think I need to change perms. Being told I've spend too much time on pc's tonight... Have to sort it tomorrow. Search gentto forums for mythtv and I think you can find a solution that woksk....
[22:06:00] Juski: doubtless one or two (unsupported in Linux) MCE pvr type cards too
[22:06:00] coffee88: works, even.
[22:06:00] Jasper: ok coffee88
[22:06:00] Jasper: I'll sort it out for ya

[22:08:00] quitte: dasOp: ah. great. and? can it be used as encoder?
[22:08:00] dasOp: encoder? a grabber just supplies a raw feed
[22:08:00] Juski: dasOp: the same way DVB tuners can have cx8800 devices
[22:09:00] quitte: dasOp: it si a encoder that can output mpeg-ts streams. look at the Readme.saa7134 in the kernel
[22:09:00] dasOp: Juski: I dont think I possess the knowledge to actually back my prior claim. :P can you please elaborate?
[22:09:00] Juski: and some encoding cards feed digital video from the likes of saa7134 devices into the encoder
[22:09:00] Juski: dasOp: the main video decoder (e.g. saa7134 or cx8800) sit on the PCI bus and act as the interface to the DVB bits ;-)

[22:13:00] Jasper: I unmasked mythvideo also...mighht be handy :P
[22:14:00] Juski: quitte: you misunderstand... the saa7134 is a perfectly good basis for a framegrabber card. it also has uses in DVB & encoder designs
[22:14:00] Juski: that's not the same thing as saying the saa7134 can encode mpeg2 on the fly ;-)
[22:14:00] dasOp: it most definitely cant :P
[22:14:00] dasOp: if it can be used for dvb, all it can do is pass along the mpeg2 stream
[22:15:00] ivor: Juski: what's your fave schematic editor then?
[22:15:00] Juski: very true, dasOp

[23:04:00] Jasper: but maybe some files haven't been replaced during the emerge because it was running is that an option?
[23:05:00] xpis: Jasper: that would be doubtful.. emerge should fail if it can't replace files.

[23:15:00] Achew22: xpis: http://pastebin.com/555146
