[00:00:00] briand: dev-: okay.. hmm... i don't see it pointing to /dev/lirc-anything.. just looking at /etc/sysconfig/lircd to grab any options (and that file has LIRCD_OPTIONS=<blank>)
[00:00:00] TUplink: well.. that like mplayer..
[00:00:00] TUplink: didnt think that was a prog
[00:00:00] TUplink: im thick headed
[00:00:00] Juski: it's not, IMHO
[00:00:00] Juski: actually – the dependencies listing in the docs could do with some provisos
[00:01:00] TUplink: thats to much to read...
[00:01:00] dev-: briand: thats where you should put the device line, if its not explicity put in your init script
[00:01:00] dev-: id check the init script first though..
[00:01:00] Juski: turns out you need a wee bit more than qt & mysql... ;)
[00:01:00] TUplink: ill be glad when someone packages mythtv-suite
[00:02:00] pac1: cpu is pegged at 100% butthen mythfilldatabase is taking 38%
[00:02:00] TUplink: just a weeeeeeeeeeee bit
[00:02:00] threat (n=threat@60-240-43-214.static.tpgi.com.au) has joined #mythtv-users
[00:02:00] dev-: TUplink: too much to read? i think your should fdisk and reinstall windows xp then plzkthnxbye
[00:02:00] briand: dev-: 'k... so i add (after the =) --device=/dev/lirc0  ??
[00:02:00] TUplink: on fedora if it says its missing just try " yum install <what is says">-devel"
[00:03:00] Pitchin_uk (n=dave@host86-134-12-45.range86-134.btcentralplus.com) has joined #mythtv-users
[00:03:00] Juski: I think I read & re-read every howto & readme for a fortnight before installing – went quite smoothly when I got round to the install
[00:03:00] threat: werd
[00:03:00] dtm: whirred
[00:03:00] Juski: word?
[00:03:00] dev-: briand: if /dev/lirc0 is your device, then yup, but again id doublecheck the init script just to make sure its not being specified in there too
[00:03:00] TUplink: i hate winblows

[00:03:00] TUplink: i figured it out this far...
[00:03:00] TUplink: i had 18 working
[00:03:00] Juski: TUplink: must be bloody dark in your house without the lights on during the day then
[00:03:00] TUplink: i have 19 working.... just want the rest of it
[00:04:00] Pitchin_uk: evening juski
[00:04:00] scottder: anyone on FC4 do a successful upgrade using RPMs yet?
[00:04:00] briand: dev-: it's called in the init script with lircd and $LIRCD_OPTIONS (which is set in /etc/sysconfig/lircd) .. since it was blank, it loaded up with the default (ie: /dev/lirc), which didn't exist... lemme try changing that in /etc/sysconfig/lircd and we'll try it again.
[00:04:00] Juski: evenin Pitchin_uk
[00:04:00] xris: scottder: I did in fc3
[00:05:00] Juski: can anybody help this guy out? http://www.mythtvtalk.com/forum/viewtopic.php . . . p;highlight=
[00:05:00] Juski: ;-)
[00:05:00] TUplink: lircd is next ;)
[00:05:00] dev-: briand: cool, ls /dev/lirc* should show you the device if you dont know what it is
[00:05:00] briand: it is lirc0 now... i think it used to be /dev/lirc (which is why it used to work, and now it doesn't)
[00:05:00] TUplink: can i get an IR reciver and use my universal TV Remote?
[00:06:00] flyr (n=flyr@io.visi.com) has joined #mythtv-users
[00:06:00] dev-: briand: ahh, yeah, that'll do it. you upgraded lirc then? thats when my device changed too
[00:06:00] Juski: TUplink: depends what kind of IR receiver you get. LIRC serial receivers will work with just about any remote
[00:07:00] briand: yes, i upgraded it thinking that (for some reason) 0.7.1 wasn't working after the whole 'get rid of atrpms' bit we went thru the other night
[00:07:00] quitte: dan. i cant find the menu again to configure output sound devices
[00:07:00] quitte: err damn.(i really need a bunch of ne keyboards)
[00:08:00] dev-: output sound devicesa? setup->tvsettings->playback ?

[00:09:00] dev-: oh its setup->general
[00:09:00] dev-: ;p
[00:09:00] Jasper: juski? did the guy try to press R on the channel guide?
[00:09:00] Pitchin_uk: once i have update the database with the xmltv ids will my mythfilldatabse work??
[00:09:00] Jasper: christ..
[00:10:00] Jasper: I thought I was a n00b :P
[00:10:00] pac1: dev-, could this cause the prebuffering and jitter?audio waiting for space on soundcard: have 5408 need 6144
[00:10:00] pac1:
[00:10:00] Juski: god bless the noobs
[00:10:00] quitte: dev-: it's gone. nowhere in those menus any more
[00:10:00] pac1: Juski, some of us are not what we seem.
[00:10:00] dev-: quitte: setup->general , i actually just looked
[00:10:00] dev-: few screens in.
[00:11:00] dev-: pac1: yes, it can
[00:11:00] quitte: ah found it. was looking in tv settings->general
[00:11:00] Jasper: juski did you catch the part in irc where I said I bought a new video card....except for the fact it didn't have my tv-out on it 8)
[00:11:00] quitte: dev-: if i want to use alsa – what do i set mixer to?
[00:11:00] Pitchin_uk: juski – once i have update the database with the xmltv ids will my mythfilldatabse work??
[00:11:00] pac1: dev-, Ok, I'll chase that down.
[00:11:00] Juski: Jasper: oops!
[00:11:00] dev-: quitte: /dev/mixer
[00:11:00] quitte: dev-: doesnt work
[00:11:00] dev-: pac1: try enableing aggressive soundcard buffering and see if that helps
[00:11:00] Jasper: well juski when I opened the box it only had composite..
[00:11:00] Juski: I try to have a life rather than keep up with channel logs when I'm not here :-O
[00:11:00] Jasper: so gonna return it tomorrow
[00:11:00] Jasper: :P
[00:12:00] dev-: quitte: alsa configured correctly? hehe
[00:12:00] JimBowen: Juski: Sorry to bother you again, but the page says to use the card type "Digital Video Broadcast Card (DVB)", which doesn't exist in the list. Is this the same thing as DVB DTV capture card (v3.x), which I was using before?
[00:12:00] Jasper: it was like 20 mins ago ...so I thought you might had seen it
[00:12:00] psofa (n=psofa@ppp79-adsl-173.ath.forthnet.gr) has joined #mythtv-users
[00:12:00] Agrajag-: JimBowen: you need to compile with --enable-dvb
[00:13:00] JimBowen: Agrajag: I did :/
[00:13:00] briand: dev-: this is weird. after booting... no lircd service, and it still won't load
[00:13:00] quitte: dev-: alsamixer works – and mythaudio works
[00:13:00] Agrajag-: JimBowen: did you also specify the dvb headers?
[00:13:00] m1k3 (n=mshields@2001:4830:150d:1:8077:4391:89f:b8da) Quit (Read error: 60 (Operation timed out))
[00:13:00] JimBowen: Agrajag: No?
[00:13:00] briand: do I need to put "" around the --device=/dev/lirc0  ??
[00:13:00] Agrajag-: JimBowen: ./configure --help
[00:13:00] dev-: quitte: actually i think by default its /dev/sound/mixer — i just have a symlink. if alsamixer works you have a mixer device, just have to find it. check /dev for 'mixer' it should be in there somewhere. maybe /dev/sound
[00:13:00] Pitchin_uk: juski- what do you reckon??
[00:13:00] JimBowen: Ok
[00:14:00] Yellow-Snow (n=none@ip70-172-236-166.br.br.cox.net) has joined #mythtv-users
[00:14:00] psofa: im having some trouble.I set up a second remote frontend but i get prebuffering pauses during playback.It seems like fast farward with many skips
[00:15:00] kormoc: psofa, network fast enough?
[00:15:00] psofa: and i dont know how to test the damn network
[00:15:00] dev-: ftp some files back and forth
[00:15:00] psofa: its supposed to be fast but i want to make sure of it
[00:15:00] kormoc: ftp/scp/other_file_transfer_program
[00:15:00] dev-: 1big file, back and forth, preferably
[00:15:00] Juski: JimBowen: yep to the DTV capture card doo-dah
[00:16:00] dev-: if your bitrate is 5500 for mpeg2 you need at least 6mbit throughput
[00:16:00] psofa: okay lemme check it
[00:16:00] Juski: Pitchin_uk: once you have the xmltvids in the DB and your .xmltv file in .mythtv/ are set, mythfilldatabase _should_ work
[00:17:00] Juski: JimBowen: check that when you ran ./configure --enable-dvb that it did actually enable dvb ;-)
[00:17:00] quitte: great – now im getting a popping noise about every minute
[00:17:00] toma is now known as toma_
[00:18:00] kormoc: quitte, change the capture rate and/or turn down the capture volume
[00:18:00] Juski: bout time tuner cards had audio limiters on their inputs I think – some ac97 codecs have em

[00:20:00] Pitchin_uk: juski – why do you think that it isnt working at the mo??
[00:20:00] rikstahh (n=rick@213.121.151.210) has joined #mythtv-users
[00:20:00] JimBowen: Juski: Yes, before I used that it was saying:
[00:20:00] JimBowen: Error: DVB card configured on video device 0,
[00:20:00] JimBowen: but MythTV was not compiled with DVB support.
[00:20:00] JimBowen: Recompile MythTV with DVB support or remove the card
[00:20:00] JimBowen: from the configuration and restart MythTV.
[00:20:00] Juski: Pitchin_uk: well, I have no idea. try popping the output of mythfilldatabase into a pastey bin & I'll take a squizz
[00:20:00] JimBowen: It no longwer says that
[00:21:00] Juski: JimBowen: mmmkay
[00:21:00] rikstahh (n=rick@213.121.151.210) Quit (Connection reset by peer)
[00:21:00] Juski: JimBowen: if you've not got the linuxtv dvb utils, now would be a good time to get em
[00:21:00] JimBowen: The default location /usr/include _does_ contain linux/dvb/frontend.h
[00:22:00] dev-: darn i ate all my valentines day chocolate
[00:23:00] briand: this still has me puzzled. despite adding a "--device=/dev/lirc0" to the options line in /etc/sysconfig/lircd, lircd still doesn't load. running `service lircd start` does nothing. manually running `lircd --device=/dev/lirc0` loads up a (non-responsive) lircd
[00:23:00] Juski: it's not valentines day anyway – it's Clinton Cards day ;-) why only be uber romantic once a year?
[00:24:00] dev-: briand: have you looked at the init script yet to see why it might not be loading?
[00:24:00] briand: dev-: several times.
[00:24:00] dev-: if you put it in a pastebin i'll see if i can find out why
[00:24:00] ** Serbitar fribbles **
[00:25:00] briand: 'k.. stand by a sec
[00:25:00] jams: anybody in here having trouble compiling svn mythmusic?
[00:25:00] Pitchin_uk: juski – http://pastebin.com/558710 it seems to pause on that channel itn bit??
[00:25:00] Juski: shit – gonna have to ring t' hotel so I can stay at the LUGradio Live bash

[00:27:00] psofa: is that ok?
[00:27:00] dev-: thats 100mbit, yeah, you did it both ways and got the same speed?
[00:27:00] jams: This is the error i'm getting http://pastebin.com/558712

[00:29:00] psofa: so im ok i guess
[00:29:00] briand: dev-: http://pastebin.ca/41903
[00:29:00] dev-: yup
[00:29:00] Pitchin_uk: what freeview.xmltv
[00:29:00] jebel: Hi everyone. Just updated to .19 and having some troubles. The Frontend says " Unexpected response to MYTH_PROTO_VERSION:" The backend says "WriteStringList: Error, invalid string list." and "Unknown socket closing".

[00:30:00] Pitchin_uk: Juski – here you go http://pastebin.com/558718
[00:30:00] briand: dev-: a-ha.
[00:30:00] JimBowen: Ok, done everything on that webpage, though now mythtv-setup itself is complaining about that truncation. It says Card 5 is set to start on channel BBC O, which does not exist.
[00:30:00] jebel: I saw something on mythtv-users about making sure you have a real address and not 127.0.0.1... already checked that. Also I compiled lated SVN and have the same issues. :-/
[00:31:00] dev-: check out lines 15,16,17 on the pastebin, those are tests
[00:31:00] dev-: if any of them fail it will exit
[00:31:00] dev-: -x are executables it looks for, -f are files
[00:31:00] splat1 is now known as splAt1
[00:31:00] dev-: if any of those are missings, poof, exit, no start
[00:31:00] JimBowen: If I change it to BBC ONE in the input connections menu it just changes back
[00:31:00] Juski: JimBowen: slight discrepancy between the channels mythfilldatabase inserted & the channels you found
[00:32:00] JimBowen: Juski: Should I manually edit the database?

[00:32:00] Serbitar: drop database and restarT?
[00:32:00] dev-: jebel: does your mythtv user in mysql have lock table grants?
[00:33:00] briand: hmm.. at least now it says "Starting infrared remote control daemon:" ... lemme go see if it's working
[00:34:00] Pitchin_uk: Juski – any ideas
[00:34:00] Juski: Pitchin_uk: well for one thing your mythfilldatabase is doing itn.co.uk – and that xmltv file you gave me has no itn.co.uk in there
[00:35:00] Pitchin_uk: juski – is it worth dding that line in??
[00:35:00] Pitchin_uk: juski – adding even
[00:35:00] Juski: so that tells me mythfilldatabase is using a different file
[00:36:00] psofa: NVP: Prebuffer wait timed out 10 times.
[00:36:00] psofa: No useable audio output driver found.
[00:36:00] psofa: Don't disable OSS support unless you're not running on Linux.
[00:36:00] psofa: NVP: Disabling Audio, reason is: Unable to create AudioOutput.
[00:36:00] psofa: thats all the strange things im getting
[00:36:00] Pitchin_uk: in the mythfilldatabse is says about the tv grab???.conf
[00:36:00] psofa: and after that im all prebuffering pauses
[00:37:00] psofa: and ofcourse no sound.Ive got alsa up and running though
[00:37:00] TUplink: ok... whereis a list of dependcies?
[00:37:00] dev-: the docs.
[00:37:00] TUplink: yea.... what is find is about 4 things
[00:37:00] dev-: psofa: audio settings are right in settings->general ?
[00:37:00] JimBowen: Well I'm going to have to leave it here, or I'll miss my lecture tomorrow morning. Thankks Juski, Agrajag, Serbitar. I'll be back tomorrow no doubt.
[00:38:00] briand: dev-: yup. that was it. remote is working now. :) thanks for your help!!
[00:38:00] dev-: no prob
[00:38:00] TUplink: i cant get plugins to install transcode
[00:38:00] Juski: np JimBowen
[00:38:00] TUplink: just instaled the newest one
[00:38:00] Pitchin_uk: juski – it says channel itn.co.uk (184) not seen on site at /usr/bin/tv_grab_uk_rt line 203.

[00:40:00] quitte_: what'S the problem with snd-bt87x? btaudio used to detect the card just fine.
[00:40:00] quitte_: i hate alsa
[00:40:00] Pitchin_uk: juski – final thought could it be a prob with my grabber or is it more likely to be the file mythfilldatabase is pointing to??
[00:40:00] TUplink: so how cani get transcode to be compiled in plugins
[00:40:00] quitte_: any idea what i should set id to?
[00:40:00] Juski: Pitchin_uk: first time it runs it can take quite a while – best leave it to do its stuff
[00:41:00] Pitchin_uk: ok i'll leave it over night – does it matter if the backend service is running

[00:44:00] Juski: briand... the contrib directory

[00:46:00] Juski: dtm: blatant, flagrant noobism... didn't RTFM-ism
[00:46:00] Juski: mostly the latter
[00:46:00] Juski: those posts will go unanswered I hope
[00:47:00] Beirdo: nah

[00:47:00] Beirdo: with "banner RTFM"

[00:48:00] Juski: heh... do unto others.. I remember the reply to my 1st post
[00:48:00] briand: so, just `cp etc.init.d.mythbackend.lsb /etc/init.d/mythbackend`  ??
[00:49:00] psofa: quitte, ty
[00:49:00] psofa: it works now
[00:49:00] psofa: and the strange prebuffering pauses too
[00:49:00] quitte: psofa: great. doesnt work for me :(
[00:49:00] psofa: hahaha
[00:49:00] psofa: lol
[00:50:00] psofa: only thing now is that dvb-s channel switching is still too slow
[00:50:00] squish102: so is nuvexport not part of the base mythtv suite?
[00:50:00] psofa: compared to vdr
[00:50:00] Juski: vdr.. blah blah blah
[00:50:00] squish102: nor mythburn
[00:50:00] Juski: if vdr is so damn good...
[00:50:00] psofa: bcause i dont want to use both
[00:50:00] psofa: :D
[00:51:00] psofa: i use myth for everything else than tv
[00:51:00] Juski: so get used to _not_ watching live tv
[00:51:00] psofa: :(
[00:51:00] quitte: actually vdr can do things that are really missing – especially recording several programs from one card
[00:51:00] Juski: I stopped watching live a year ago & I don't miss it
[00:51:00] Juski: all that is coming to mythtv
[00:52:00] Juski: so :-P
[00:52:00] psofa: so theres nothing i can do to make channels changing faster?
[00:52:00] Juski: psofa: nope
[00:52:00] quitte: Juski: im just allergic to those go use something else things on perfectly valid coplaints
[00:52:00] Juski: quitte: looking forward to seeing your code
[00:52:00] psofa: so its a general myth problem and not only me?
[00:53:00] jams: psofa- how fast are your channel changes

[01:52:00] buu: Kelerion: The extension was given by a webserver.

[03:52:00] kormoc: DartmanX1, if you get a hardware mpeg 2 encoder, it will encode to mpeg2
[03:52:00] kormoc: Yellow-Snow, no, but no idea if it's supported
[03:53:00] DartmanX1: so it's a probalem with the TV Wonder card, then
[03:53:00] Yellow-Snow: seems pretty badass eh?
[03:53:00] kormoc: DartmanX1, you can use nuvexport to convert the nuv files into other formats
[03:54:00] DartmanX1: Im trying that. When I tried to DVD, it said unknown format for DVD
[03:54:00] xpis: Yellow-Snow: I'm using a Kworld Terminator. So yes, it would be supported.

[03:59:00] achew22: Yellow-Snow, sounds hard to setup
[04:00:00] Yellow-Snow: hm
[04:00:00] achew22: so... why not compile it?

[04:00:00] achew22: kormoc, if I went through and compiled it for windows would I become a hero and everyone would throw a ticketrape parrade

[04:01:00] DartmanX1: okay, so if softwar empeg encoding isn't supported by myth, does that mean it's impossible for me to make a DVD of the tv shows I record?
[04:01:00] xpis: achew22: if you succeeded... and provided instructions... you would be a hero.
[04:01:00] kormoc: DartmanX1, no, you just need to get nuvexport working

[04:02:00] achew22: I'll put up the donation page now...

[05:49:00] achew22: anyways... back to the more important things in life... me
[05:50:00] achew22: I have a question. I got Svideo out working on my NVidea chip and I was wondering what to do when the screen goes black and it says (on the monitor not the tv) "sync out of range"
[05:50:00] ** Gumby` tries to figure out why mythfrontend keeps segfaulting **
[05:50:00] Gumby`: achew22: can you post your xorg.conf somewhere?
[05:50:00] achew22: sure... one sec
[05:50:00] Chutt: Gumby`, backtraces help with that.
[05:50:00] Gumby`: svideo to TV I assume?
[05:50:00] achew22: I just issed a reboot so its gotta reboot
[05:50:00] achew22: yes
[05:50:00] achew22: exactly right
[05:51:00] Chutt: why is this channel turning into a linux help channel?
[05:51:00] achew22: how isn't that pertaining to mythtv?
[05:51:00] Gumby`: Chutt: achew22 because hes in a pissy mood and he doesnt want it to
[05:51:00] Chutt: how's setting up X have to do with myth?
[05:51:00] Gumby`: errr
[05:51:00] Gumby`: -chutt
[05:52:00] achew22: um... outputting an tv signal to a tv through myth pertains to mythtv in my mind
[05:52:00] achew22: if you don't like I'd be happy to move this into a private chatroom
[05:52:00] Gumby`: its more of a distro question IMHO. But its not totally irrelivant to myth
[05:52:00] Chutt: right, but it doesn't have much to do with myth itself.
[05:52:00] achew22: but if you disqualify everything that isn't exactly myth then noone would be here
[05:53:00] achew22: your people who have issues copiling would be kicked out becasue thats not souly mythtv

[05:59:00] ** kormoc whispers to quitte, 'it is myth related if Chutt says it is...' :P **
[05:59:00] quitte: Chutt: so why was the ringbuffer removed? i just dont see a point in removing things that are useful for some
[05:59:00] Chutt: what's it useful for?
[05:59:00] Gumby`: achew22: is your card dual output at one time, or does it just have two outputs?
[06:00:00] achew22: I don't understand
[06:00:00] kormoc: quitte, I actually like the new live tv method. If you run out of space, it auto expires and it's all good.
[06:00:00] quitte: for livetv when you are zapping – people do that. and why prevent them from doingit?
[06:00:00] Chutt: what about the non-ringbuffer stuff changes that?
[06:00:00] achew22: it has 2 outputs i think is the answer
[06:00:00] Gumby`: achew22: well, just because a video card has a svid out and a vga connector doesnt mean that it can do twinview (both at the same time)
[06:00:00] kormoc: achew22, some videocards can only output on one connector at a time
[06:00:00] achew22: 1 at a time
[06:00:00] achew22: but it will do console on both
[06:00:00] achew22: so I think it is capible of both
[06:01:00] Gumby`: achew22: ok, then your xorg.conf is totalyl wrong
[06:01:00] achew22: chuckle...
[06:01:00] Gumby`: achew22: naw, console will work on both no problem
[06:01:00] Chutt: the non-ringbuffer makes channel flipping faster for most people, even
[06:01:00] quitte: i give up. i' prefer areal livetv method anyways where the hdd ca go to sleep
[06:01:00] achew22: Gumby` sounds like me... totaly wrong
[06:01:00] kormoc: quitte, you couldn't do that with the ringbuffer anyway.
[06:01:00] achew22: Gumby` i'm going to go check on the reboot process and see if the livetv mode will work now
[06:01:00] Gumby`: quitte: then dont use mythtv. use something like xawtv or tvtime, might be better suited for your needs
[06:01:00] Chutt: you give up even before you gave a reason why
[06:01:00] Chutt: heh
[06:02:00] achew22: and not make it freak out
[06:02:00] Gumby`: achew22: no need to reboot.
[06:02:00] Gumby`: achew22: just restart X
[06:02:00] achew22: really? but I can't see anything
[06:02:00] Gumby`: can you get to a console?
[06:02:00] achew22: no
[06:02:00] achew22: well... don't know how so thats the issue
[06:02:00] Gumby`: ctrl+alt+f1 doesnt work ?
[06:02:00] Gumby`: what distro is this?
[06:02:00] achew22: okay i already issued the ssh reboot command
[06:02:00] achew22: Ubuntu
[06:03:00] achew22: there are a lot of U's in Ubuntu
[06:03:00] quitte: Gumby`: saying you can use something different is not an excuse for not including something.
[06:03:00] achew22: is xpis a developer?
[06:03:00] quitte: achew22: xheck out unununium
[06:03:00] achew22: lol
[06:03:00] Gumby`: quitte: mythtv was never developed to do what you are asking it to do.
[06:04:00] Gumby`: quitte: mythtv was never meant for the use of livetv without touching the hard drive
[06:04:00] Chutt: there's hooks for running external programs for live-tv, though
[06:04:00] Gumby`: so if thats what you want, you need to use something else
[06:04:00] Chutt: since people bitch about it every now and then
[06:04:00] quitte: Gumby`: and how is adding a plugin to do it a problem except that it wasnt meant to be there when planning it?
[06:04:00] Gumby`: quitte: I not once said it wasnt,
[06:04:00] dev-: oh boy im glad im detaching and not getting into this conversation
[06:04:00] ** dev- & **
[06:05:00] Gumby`: lol
[06:05:00] achew22: dev- be glad
[06:05:00] achew22: dev- will you frolic in the rain with me?
[06:05:00] Gumby`: achew22: be quiet and fix your X issues
[06:05:00] Gumby`: hehehe
[06:05:00] achew22: lol
[06:05:00] achew22: leme check on it
[06:05:00] achew22: brb
[06:05:00] Chutt: live-tv without hitting the harddrive is limited to a couple types of capture cards, and machine with tuner cards in them.
[06:05:00] fatmatt: anyone using myth for internet radio stuff?
[06:06:00] quitte: i really wonderwhy everytime you make some suggesion how things should work everybody jumps at your throat
[06:06:00] achew22: lol — your config file made it worse ;)
[06:06:00] Gumby`: achew22: dont use my WHOLE config. that was just a sample silly man
[06:06:00] quitte: Chutt: ah great. a technical explanation. i can live with that
[06:06:00] achew22: ohh...
[06:06:00] ** achew22 feels really stupid **
[06:07:00] Gumby`: achew22: use your config, but have a look at mine as a guide to edit yours.
[06:07:00] Gumby`: lemme look at yours again, one sec
[06:07:00] achew22: http://pastebin.com/559077
[06:08:00] Chutt: um
[06:08:00] Chutt: why do you have video card options in the input settings section?
[06:08:00] achew22: Chutt you can make fun of me now
[06:08:00] quitte: from mypoint of view tv should be handled asjust another plugin btw. mythtv is useful even if no tv capture cardis available as a easy to use multimedia station for dvds webbrowsinig burning etc.
[06:09:00] Chutt: quitte, it's a built-in plugin.
[06:09:00] Chutt: never saw the need to make it separate.
[06:09:00] achew22: if you don't configure it what happens?
[06:09:00] Chutt: nothing?
[06:09:00] achew22: yeah....
[06:09:00] quitte: Chutt: it's just logical to do so. maybe you can think about it for .20
[06:10:00] Chutt: nope
[06:10:00] achew22: Gumby` you found a cure for my stupidity?
[06:10:00] Chutt: won't :p
[06:10:00] Gumby`: achew22: death?
[06:10:00] quitte: of course not :p
[06:10:00] achew22: lol
[06:10:00] Gumby`: hehe
[06:10:00] achew22: Chutt are you a dev?
[06:10:00] Chutt: no
[06:10:00] ** kormoc chuckles. **
[06:10:00] achew22: you REALLY wont be thinking about doing it in that case
[06:10:00] Gumby`: quitte: what video card do you have?
[06:10:00] ** kormoc whispers to achew22, 'You should pick up on something right about now...' **
[06:11:00] achew22: don't argue with the boss?
[06:11:00] quitte: Gumby`: depends. bttv pvr-150 dvb-s and none. dependingon te location where i set the system up.
[06:11:00] achew22: or don't argue with ops?
[06:11:00] Gumby`: achew22: video card, not tuner card :)
[06:11:00] achew22: ohh
[06:11:00] achew22: sorry
[06:12:00] ** kormoc whispers to achew22, 'he is _-*the*-_ dev' **
[06:12:00] achew22: nVidia Corporation nForce2 AGP
[06:12:00] Chutt: quitte, i'm actually more pondering removing plugins
[06:12:00] achew22: ohh
[06:12:00] quitte: oh. then the answer is unichrome geforce2 g400 i810
[06:12:00] achew22: then he should have answered yes to are you a dev?
[06:12:00] kormoc: Chutt, have them been more work then they are worth sort of thing?
[06:12:00] Chutt: naw
[06:12:00] achew22: hey Chutt, since your the dev can I ask you some quesitons that are kindof code specific?
[06:12:00] Chutt: achew22, no
[06:12:00] achew22: alright
[06:13:00] Chutt: kormoc, would be easier to unify interfaces if everything's in the same place, is all
[06:13:00] kormoc: Chutt, understandable. I've often wondered if the interface was a bit more complex due to the plugins.
[06:13:00] quitte: Chutt: why remove? wouldnt splitting it up into smaller modules be a better idea? so that they can be handled as subprojects taking load off your shoulders?
[06:13:00] Chutt: quitte, what's separate plugins have to do with handling them as subprojects?
[06:13:00] achew22: Gumby` i have a nVidia Corporation nForce2 AGP
[06:14:00] quitte: it just makes it possible
[06:14:00] kormoc: achew22, nForce is a motherboard, GeForce is a videocard
[06:14:00] Chutt: no more different, really
[06:14:00] Chutt: it's not like anyone actually maintains the plugins
[06:14:00] achew22: sorry... i'm getting tired I took my sleep medicine
[06:14:00] achew22: nVidia Corporation NV18 [GeForce4 MX – nForce GPU] (rev a3)
[06:15:00] Gumby`: achew22: may I msg you (dont want to flood here)
[06:15:00] quitte: Chutt: but libmyth already providersthe infrastructure to make your own plugins?
[06:15:00] Chutt: sure
[06:15:00] achew22: Gumby` msg at will
[06:15:00] Chutt: i wouldn't be removing _that_
[06:16:00] quitte: Chutt: how stable is libmyth?

[06:16:00] Chutt: what type of stable do you mean?
[06:16:00] achew22: What version of QT is mythtv built in?
[06:16:00] dmachi (n=dmachi@pool-71-254-40-88.roa.east.verizon.net) has joined #mythtv-users
[06:16:00] Chutt: > 3.1, < 4.0
[06:16:00] metalac: i just got my viewsonic n3250w installed and the TV quality is kinda bad so i'm wondering what sort of things i can do to improve it?
[06:16:00] Gumby`: grrr, I cant message. freakin freenode
[06:16:00] quitte: Chutt: i dont care for binary compatibility. but will current plugins be able to compile for .20?
[06:16:00] Gumby`: achew22: ok, one sec...
[06:16:00] metalac: everything looks kinda fuzzy
[06:16:00] Chutt: quitte, depends
[06:17:00] Chutt: libmyth hasn't had a really big major change in a while
[06:17:00] quitte: Chutt: let me guess. on your decision making? ;)
[06:17:00] Chutt: yeah
[06:17:00] Chutt: i've been redoing the ui for a bit
[06:17:00] Chutt: that'll make all the plugins have to change
[06:17:00] Chutt: if i ever have time to finish
[06:18:00] dmachi: anyone here using a pvr350? I seem to be having issues when live tv switches to a new ring buffer between programs. Additionally, I can't seem to get it to schedule a recordidng any more? I noticed one trac ticket, but not much else. Anyone have any info or ideas?
[06:18:00] quitte: i hope theres more documentation than just the headers then.
[06:18:00] Chutt: dmachi, try current svn
[06:18:00] Chutt: quitte, why? i'll probably end up migrating all the plugins anyway
[06:18:00] dmachi: Chutt, in the 0.19 fixes branch, or the main trunk?
[06:19:00] Chutt: dmachi, main trunk
[06:19:00] dmachi: Chutt, ok thanks
[06:19:00] quitte: Chutt: sounds like you dont want others to work on your baby a lot.
[06:19:00] Chutt: quitte, err, there's something like 15 other people with svn access
[06:19:00] Chutt: so, uh...
[06:20:00] Gumby`: achew22: have a look at http://ultimate.kicks-ass.net/files/xorg.conf.changes
[06:20:00] Gumby`: tell me if it makes sense or not
[06:20:00] quitte: still i'D expect more plugins to pop up from other devs if documentation exists
[06:20:00] kormoc: quitte, all projects need a leader, who sets a path which is followed. without that, people would be stepping on each other a lot and it would break down.
[06:20:00] dmachi: Chutt one other question. Since its going to take time to recompile, do you know that this is a fixed bug and svn has the fix in it for sure (sorry, i have to make sure to record a show for my wife tonight or i'll be in trouble).
[06:20:00] Chutt: copying existing plugins is easy enough, generally
[06:20:00] achew22: Gumby` use my origional?
[06:20:00] Chutt: dmachi, i checked in a fix for one thing that could cause it to hang there.
[06:21:00] Gumby`: achew22: yes, but make those changes
[06:21:00] dmachi: Chutt: cool, gracias.
[06:21:00] Chutt: dmachi, obviously, i don't know if it's what's making it happen to you
[06:21:00] dmachi: Chutt: of course. Do you know about the scheduled recordiong problem too?
[06:21:00] Chutt: no
[06:21:00] quitte: kormoc: if there is a standard interface to use the gui additions wouldnt have to break the main project.
[06:21:00] Chutt: err
[06:21:00] Chutt: sure it would
[06:22:00] Gumby`: gah. my frontend crashes are getting worse.
[06:22:00] ** Gumby` googles how to backtrace **
[06:22:00] Chutt: i'm changing from one standard interface for doing the ui to another
[06:22:00] kormoc: quitte, it's the nature of progress.
[06:22:00] Chutt: no compatability layer possible.
[06:22:00] quitte: Chutt: ok so the problem is that myth is not yet stable enough for that?
[06:22:00] Chutt: um
[06:22:00] Chutt: s/stable/static/
[06:23:00] quitte: ok
[06:23:00] achew22: okay Gumby` I will be checking it now... brb
[06:23:00] Chutt: boring.
[06:23:00] Chutt: unchanging.
[06:23:00] Chutt: :p
[06:23:00] Chutt: go ask why the kernel people change their external apis all the time =)
[06:25:00] quitte: well. i guess i've made my thoughts clear enough. separating ui and functionality seems to be logic to me. thats it.
[06:25:00] Chutt: heh
[06:25:00] Chutt: well, most of the existing plugins _are_ ui
[06:25:00] Chutt: there's very little actual functionality in them
[06:26:00] quitte: ui is xml files calling external programs?
[06:26:00] Chutt: english?
[06:26:00] kormoc: quitte, things like mythvideo are just a interface to call mplayer/xine/myth to play a video.
[06:27:00] quitte: the mnus can be easily changed by just editting xml files. so it seemed to me thy were just calling external programs or functions
[06:27:00] Chutt: they're calling internal functions, for the most part.
[06:27:00] Chutt: mythvideo is all ui, for instance
[06:27:00] Chutt: aside from some minor database stuff

[06:41:00] MrEntropy: ?
[06:42:00] quitte: something that spits out motion pictures
[06:42:00] MrEntropy: my quarrel is that they require a grabber, i've taken a look at the info that the grabber gets and it's nothing to do with frequencies.
[06:43:00] Klatuu (n=blah@67-40-212-8.tukw.qwest.net) has joined #mythtv-users
[06:43:00] MrEntropy: quitte: but you specify channels in the channel editor
[06:43:00] MrEntropy: quitte: so why the video sources?
[06:43:00] quitte: MrEntropy: so you have just a composite or svideo in?
[06:43:00] MrEntropy: quitte: DVB-T
[06:43:00] quitte: that has channels
[06:44:00] quitte: each channel would be a video source, i think
[06:44:00] MrEntropy: quitte: but i still have to scan for them in the channel editor
[06:44:00] quitte: can you give them names there,too?
[06:45:00] MrEntropy: nope, they get sucked off the dvb stream, the networks name their own channels
[06:45:00] MrEntropy: quitte: ok, is there any way i can specify the video sources manually?
[06:46:00] quitte: wait ill have a look at myth-setup. maybe tha helps me understand your questions
[06:47:00] MrEntropy: i'll detail a little more. i only have a dvb-t card, and the grabber for australia does not give mythtv dvb channel data for my area. So therefore in order to enable the channel scanner in the channel editor i have to download a channel list from a city that's not mine, which is just downright messy.
[06:48:00] quitte: MrEntropy: seems to me its the source of program information for the channels,actually
[06:48:00] quitte: MrEntropy: us eit data only would be approprate then i think
[06:49:00] quitte: s/us/use
[06:49:00] MrEntropy: quitte: oh wow...i didn't see that option before, that's awesome, i'll see if it works. thank you.

[07:26:00] Gumby`: hrm, nm. its working now
[07:26:00] Gumby`: strange

[07:26:00] Gumby`: two seconds ago it wasnt
[07:26:00] Chutt: heisenbugs rock
[07:26:00] Gumby`: I'd click the numbers, they'd appear on the screen, I'd click enter... but the channel wouldnt change
[07:27:00] Chutt: non-existant channel?
[07:27:00] Gumby`: same channel, both times
[07:27:00] kormoc: Gumby, I had that happen once as well, worked fine after I restarted the backend.
[07:27:00] Chutt: there _may
[07:27:00] Gumby`: hrm, 03 [enter] doesnt work, but 3 [enter] does
[07:27:00] Chutt: err, _may_ be something in the logs saying why it didn't change
[07:28:00] Gumby`: hrm, I have to fix the keypress rate on my ati remote.
[07:29:00] Gumby`: Chutt: earlier you said the ring buffer didnt exist anymore... if thats so then this message might need to be changed....
[07:30:00] Gumby`: 2006-02–16 23:28:42.327 TVRec(1): RingBufferChanged()
[07:30:00] Gumby`: hehe
[07:30:00] Chutt: yeah
[07:30:00] Chutt: didn't bother changing the class name
[07:30:00] Gumby`: so the livetv recordings, they just stick around until you expire them manually?
[07:31:00] Chutt: naw, they get autodeleted whenever space is needed
[07:31:00] Chutt: unless they're short (< 3 minutes, i think)
[07:31:00] kormoc: Chutt, I'm reading wikipedia about heisenbug bugs, the Schroedinbug bug is the most amusing, and the one I run into the most :P
[07:31:00] Chutt: then they get deleted right away
[07:31:00] Chutt: or there's also a maximum age setting for them, so you could delete them > 1 day, or so
[07:31:00] Chutt: though that's only set to the day
[07:32:00] Chutt: but they have the highest autoexpire ranking, so they go first
[07:32:00] Gumby`: ah nice, I didnt see that
[07:32:00] Chutt: and you can't disable autoexpire for them
[07:32:00] MrEntropy: ok, so i've gotten the frontend and backend set up. when i select "watch tv" it comes up with a black screen (with osd at the bottom) and starts recording. Why is it recording? i set no such thing
[07:32:00] Gumby`: thats good
[07:32:00] kormoc: MrEntropy, all tv is recorded
[07:32:00] Gumby`: MrEntropy: thats how mythtv works. if it didnt record how do you expect to timeshift?
[07:33:00] MrEntropy: kormoc: can i turn it off?
[07:33:00] Chutt: no.
[07:33:00] MrEntropy: hmm
[07:33:00] MrEntropy: ok

[07:34:00] Gumby`: Chutt: us the delete > 1 day etc for livetv files in mythtv-setup or in the setup section within the frontend?
[07:34:00] Gigamonkey: anyone around that wouldnt mind answering some hardware questions ?
[07:34:00] Gumby`: Gigamonkey: questions can only be answered when properly asked
[07:34:00] Gigamonkey: ok
[07:34:00] Chutt: honestly, i have absolutely no idea

[07:36:00] Gumby`: asuming its an appropriate question for the forum/placae you are asking it
[07:37:00] Gumby`: Chutt: found it. its in the setup of mythfrontend in the TV Settings. First page
[07:37:00] Gumby`: set to 1day by default
[07:37:00] Gigamonkey: I hav eone of these http://www.avantek.co.uk/acl/mobo/in_se7501cw2.htm motherboards I would like to know if it would be resonable to use it as an htpc

[07:38:00] Gumby`: lol
[07:38:00] mchou: Gigamonkey: what a waste
[07:38:00] kormoc: Gigamonkey, likely a bit of a overkill
[07:38:00] Gumby`: um, a bit overkill
[07:38:00] Gigamonkey: no its not
[07:38:00] Gigamonkey: wait
[07:38:00] Gigamonkey: no its not a waste
[07:38:00] Gigamonkey: its free
[07:38:00] mchou: Gigamonkey: you have an aorport in your living room?
[07:38:00] mchou: airport*
[07:38:00] Gigamonkey: airport ?
[07:38:00] mchou: complete with traffic controllers?
[07:39:00] kormoc: Gigamonkey, that's awesome, but as a backend, it's a bit much, if I was you, I'd sell it and buy a shuttle and use that as a backend.
[07:39:00] Gigamonkey: ah interesting you should ask that question because when i fire this server up it sounds like one
[07:39:00] Gumby`: Gigamonkey: you can run an htpc on 1/4 of that power
[07:39:00] mchou: Gigamonkey: exactly :)
[07:39:00] Chutt: hrm
[07:39:00] Gigamonkey: mrchu i have an add on question to that point
[07:39:00] Chutt: aspect ratio's off on this menu
[07:39:00] Gumby`: Gigamonkey: possibly 1/8th that power if you have an ivtv based card
[07:39:00] Gigamonkey: im looking to put that mobo in one of these http://www.antec.com/us/support_productInfo_d . . . ProdID=15730
[07:40:00] Gigamonkey: overrure II
[07:40:00] Gigamonkey: overture
[07:40:00] mchou: lol
[07:40:00] Gigamonkey: do you think it would have enough cooling
[07:40:00] mchou: forget about it
[07:40:00] Gigamonkey: ya thats what i thought
[07:40:00] Gigamonkey: SUck
[07:40:00] mchou: you buy a diswasher type case, tat might provide enough cooling :)
[07:40:00] Gumby`: Gigamonkey: seriously, sell that system and buy two or three other ones
[07:41:00] mchou: that*
[07:41:00] Gigamonkey: lol mchou
[07:41:00] Gigamonkey: the 40 mill fans on this thing scream
[07:41:00] Gumby`: thats one hell of a system, its just HUGE overkill for an htp
[07:41:00] Gumby`: c
[07:41:00] Gigamonkey: its in a 1u half depth case atm
[07:41:00] Gigamonkey: ya i know
[07:41:00] Gigamonkey: its quite kick ass
[07:42:00] Gigamonkey: it was a game server
[07:42:00] Gigamonkey: but my data center and free 100mb uplink closed
[07:42:00] Gumby`: and you scored it for free?
[07:42:00] Gigamonkey: yes i did
[07:42:00] Gumby`: you suck
[07:42:00] mchou: Gigamonkey: did the procs com free too?
[07:42:00] Russ (i=foobar@ip70-190-223-46.ph.ph.cox.net) Quit ("I like core dumps")
[07:42:00] Gigamonkey: yes they did
[07:42:00] mchou: come*
[07:42:00] Gigamonkey: and the 4 gigs of ram
[07:42:00] mchou: nice
[07:42:00] Gigamonkey: and the scsi drive
[07:42:00] Gumby`: yeah yeah, shut up already
[07:42:00] Gigamonkey: lol
[07:43:00] mchou: five finger discount? :)
[07:43:00] Gigamonkey: wanna buy it ?
[07:43:00] Gigamonkey: no no
[07:43:00] Gumby`: lol, no.
[07:43:00] Gumby`: I have no need for such a beast
[07:43:00] Gigamonkey: i know the vp of biz dev at www.rackable.com
[07:43:00] mchou: or maybe 10 fingers in this case :)
[07:43:00] Gigamonkey: he gave it to me
[07:43:00] mchou: biz dev?
[07:43:00] mchou: lol
[07:43:00] kormoc: Gigamonkey, honestly, I doubt you could fit a power supply into that overture II that would power that board
[07:43:00] Gigamonkey: yes
[07:43:00] Gumby`: sounds like a "quick, company is going out of business and we might not get our last paycheck.... smash and grab time"
[07:43:00] Gigamonkey: the board only needs a 300W PS and it comes with a 450
[07:44:00] kormoc: Gigamonkey, dual xeons and 4 gigs of ram should really take a 450 watt PS imho.
[07:44:00] mchou: Gigamonkey: are you a powerful CEO or something?
[07:44:00] kormoc: Gigamonkey, that overture is a small case
[07:44:00] mchou: :)
[07:44:00] Gigamonkey: Kor you should see what its in
[07:44:00] Gigamonkey: its very small
[07:44:00] kormoc: Gigamonkey, different form factors
[07:44:00] Gigamonkey: im only worried about coling
[07:44:00] mchou: Gigamonkey: redundant power supplies?
[07:44:00] Gigamonkey: cooling
[07:44:00] kormoc: Gigamonkey, the case it's currently in the PS is beside the mobo
[07:44:00] Gigamonkey: no
[07:44:00] kormoc: Gigamonkey, the overture, the PS will likely hang over the board
[07:44:00] Gigamonkey: yes kor
[07:45:00] Gigamonkey: ah
[07:45:00] Gigamonkey: hmm
[07:45:00] Gigamonkey: no i dont think so
[07:45:00] Gigamonkey: the OvII is a side mount
[07:45:00] Gigamonkey: ill show u
[07:45:00] Gigamonkey: sec
[07:46:00] Gigamonkey: ah you may be right
[07:46:00] Gigamonkey: take a look at this
[07:46:00] Gigamonkey: http://www.antec.com/pdf/drawings/overtureII_techdrawing.pdf
[07:46:00] Gigamonkey: it does seem lick it sitts above on the left side front
[07:46:00] Gigamonkey: whats your take?
[07:46:00] Gigamonkey: like
[07:46:00] Gigamonkey: mchou: no im not a ceo type
[07:46:00] Gigamonkey: and rackable just went public
[07:47:00] mchou: so why did biz dev guy give it to you? :)
[07:47:00] Gigamonkey: they dont give out server to just any slob on the street
[07:47:00] Gigamonkey: because i know him we are friends
[07:47:00] Gigamonkey: and i needed a server
[07:47:00] mchou: lol
[07:47:00] Gigamonkey: and this was 3 years ago
[07:47:00] kormoc: Gigamonkey, it's one of those cases, your're likely gonna need to give it a shot and see how it fits, but likely imho, it won't fit really nice.
[07:47:00] Gigamonkey: so this server would have run around 4k
[07:47:00] Gigamonkey: neway
[07:48:00] Gigamonkey: kormoc i tend to agree with you
[07:48:00] mchou: Gigamonkey: you get rack mount drives with that thing?
[07:48:00] Gigamonkey: i really need to know how high that ps is off of the board
[07:48:00] Gigamonkey: no 1 drive internal
[07:48:00] Gigamonkey: 180gig scsi
[07:48:00] mchou: Gigamonkey: bah
[07:49:00] mchou: that's nowhere near enough
[07:49:00] Gigamonkey: but
[07:49:00] Gigamonkey: ya i nkow
[07:49:00] Gigamonkey: i will add sata drives to it
[07:49:00] Gigamonkey: two or three
[07:49:00] Gigamonkey: dont want to afford scsi
[07:49:00] Gigamonkey: no reason for it
[07:50:00] Gigamonkey: this overture is a sweet case tho
[07:50:00] Gumby`: better hope that mobos onboard chipset is well supported in linux
[07:50:00] Gigamonkey: it is
[07:50:00] Gigamonkey: its intel
[07:50:00] mchou: it's an intel board
[07:50:00] Gumby`: I mean the scsi driver
[07:50:00] Gigamonkey: it is
[07:50:00] Gumby`: probably is, but you better check just in case
[07:50:00] mchou: of course it's well supported
[07:50:00] kormoc: Gumby, intel brand boards are going to be supported
[07:51:00] Gigamonkey: it has run gentoo like a champ in the past
[07:51:00] Gigamonkey: but i was thinking of running windows on it
[07:51:00] Gumby`: I had one hell of a time getting a dual xeon board running windows once. lol
[07:51:00] Gigamonkey: so that i can use it for other things like games and what not
[07:51:00] kormoc: Gigamonkey, there's no agp on it, so you're going to be limited to pci videocards if you want to have it be a frontend as ell
[07:51:00] Gigamonkey: this thing runs win 2003 like a shmap
[07:51:00] kormoc: Gigamonkey, xeon's aren't really that good with games, is my understanding
[07:51:00] mchou: haha!
[07:51:00] Gumby`: spent 24hrs at a clients. ended up putting linux on and running windows in a vmware session. poor back, but its what my boss decided to do
[07:51:00] Gigamonkey: yes Kormoc
[07:51:00] mchou: shmap :)
[07:51:00] Gigamonkey: LOL gumby
[07:52:00] Gigamonkey: thats sad
[07:52:00] Gigamonkey: shmap = champ
[07:52:00] Gigamonkey: ANYway
[07:52:00] Gumby`: installed winnt, install went fine, when it did the swap from fat to ntfs, the thing kernel paniced after reboot
[07:52:00] Gigamonkey: so lest say the case will work
[07:52:00] Gumby`: would no longer so the hdd. lol
[07:52:00] Gigamonkey: lets
[07:53:00] Gigamonkey: next step for me is cards
[07:53:00] mchou: I thought it was a contraction of shit and crap :)
[07:53:00] Gigamonkey: i assume i need a cap card and a vid card
[07:53:00] Gigamonkey: Lol
[07:53:00] kormoc: Gigamonkey, do you know what version the pci slots are?
[07:53:00] Gigamonkey: um
[07:53:00] Gigamonkey: good question
[07:53:00] Gigamonkey: sec
[07:54:00] Gigamonkey: hree independent PCI buses, up to five total slots: one PCI-X 64-bit/133MHz, two PCI-X 64-bit/100MHz, two 32-bit/33MHz

[07:55:00] Gigamonkey: so i think im ok there

[07:56:00] mchou: servers dont need agp
[07:56:00] Gigamonkey: thats very true

[08:00:00] Gigamonkey: above
[08:00:00] Gigamonkey: i think not
[08:00:00] Chutt: you'll have to recompile
[08:00:00] Gumby`: gah
[08:00:00] kormoc: Gigamonkey, other then it might not fix, could cause the ram to overheat if it's stagnet air
[08:00:00] Gumby`: I'll just wait for now. hehe
[08:01:00] Gumby`: I'm not in a compiling mood. I am using atrpms currently anyhow. maybe its a bug and tehy'll be fixed when the packages go stable
[08:01:00] Chutt: doubtful
[08:01:00] Chutt: where's it segfaulting?
[08:01:00] Chutt: like, are you just running it, and it dies?

[08:03:00] Gigamonkey: any idea what i box like this will fetch on ebay ?
[08:03:00] Gumby`: I wonder if it has something to do with the buffer that isnt a buffer but more like a live recording
[08:03:00] Gumby`: hehe
[08:03:00] Gumby`: I was thinking hdd space maybe, but looks like I have lots of space

[08:42:00] mchou: which is?
[08:43:00] fatmatt: umm, 2.6.15 I think
[08:43:00] fatmatt: at least it will be when I pull that machine apart to install the new card
[08:44:00] mchou: I think that should be up to date
[08:44:00] mchou: as far as the fusion is concerned.
[08:44:00] mchou: where did you get your fusion, and how much did you pay?
[08:44:00] fatmatt: there's a dvico lite that has been in the kernel for a while, but research on the plus gives me a whole bunch of stuff about 6–12 months old that suggests patching
[08:45:00] mchou: ahh, plus might require patching
[08:45:00] fatmatt: I'm trying to work out if I get the lite or the plus, I want kernel, not patched support

[10:34:00] quitte: dogbert: just nothing that isnt a package should go to usr. thats what usr/local is for

[10:35:00] quitte: dogbert: noticed that some files arent in 0.19 any more? they are still on your disk,though
[10:35:00] dogbert: true
[10:35:00] dogbert: not harming anything being there though
[10:36:00] stuarta: i beg to differ
[10:36:00] quitte: dogbert: just use --prefix=/usr/local next time. usr/local is early in the path anyways
[10:37:00] dogbert: how so? if a lib is there but nothing uses it how can that be harmful?
[10:37:00] stuarta: the trick lies in making sure nothing uses it.

[11:14:00] Calroth: is it possible for an analog and digital input to share the same channel?

[11:14:00] dogbert: Calroth: nope
[11:15:00] Calroth: (it worked fine in 0.18)
[11:15:00] dogbert: eh?
[11:15:00] quitte: MrIch: grub is the wrong place anyways
[11:15:00] quitte: learn about sysvinit
[11:15:00] Calroth: e.g. channel 2 has both dvb and analog tuning params
[11:16:00] dogbert: Calroth: each in-duh-vidual channel can come from one tuner source, and one only AFAIK
[11:17:00] Calroth: hmm
[11:17:00] quitte: dogbert: no. it is possible to have multiple tuners so that if you have overlapping schedules a free tuner is picked
[11:17:00] Calroth: both analog and digital seem to be reading the "mplexid" column in the channel table
[11:18:00] dogbert: I know that, but I didn't think you could mix tuner types on each channel
[11:18:00] quitte: dogbert: why not. i dont know – but i'd be surprised
[11:18:00] Calroth: worked fine for me for 0.18, as said
[11:19:00] Calroth: but now, if i set up a channel for dvb, the analog doesn't tune, only picks up static
[11:19:00] dogbert: my 2 DVB-T tuners have been assigned the same video source, but that's not the same thing
[11:20:00] dogbert: Calroth: so you might need to have two channels instead of one (one digi, one analogue)
[11:20:00] Calroth: yeah, I guess
[11:20:00] dogbert: damn that won't work the same way either – myth chooses the recording channel by chanid, not channel name
[11:21:00] Calroth: although as mentioned above, having the same channel helps with overlaps in scheduling :-)
[11:24:00] dogbert: I suppose myth 0.19 is making an assumption that if mplexid isn't 'null' then it's a digital channel
[11:26:00] dogbert: Calroth: it'd be worth making a post to the users list with this – or even the dev list

[11:53:00] quitte: Calroth: well that is nonsense
[11:54:00] dogbert: Calroth: heh.
[11:54:00] dogbert: quitte: makes perfect sense
[11:54:00] quitte: dogbert: uhm thatd be a insanely low snr then
[11:55:00] dogbert: quitte: I know
[11:55:00] quitte: and it'd mean getting several channels at once all the time
[11:56:00] dogbert: quitte: no it wouldn't
[11:56:00] dogbert: it'd just mean the analogue tuner wouldn't be able to demodulate anything at that frequency & all you'd get is mush
[11:56:00] quitte: it wouldn't? aren't the digital channels on a remarkably higher frequency range?
[11:56:00] dogbert: quitte: depends
[11:57:00] dogbert: digital channels are on muxes whose frequency isn't the same as the analogue channels
[11:57:00] dogbert: there's no rule that says they're always on higher frequencies
[11:57:00] dogbert: certainly not the case in the UK – they can be anywhere in the band
[11:57:00] quitte: this is all very confusing to me.
[11:58:00] quitte: some 10000mhz go to the lnb and then some 1000–2100mhz come back?

[11:59:00] fred_basset: the lnb is meant to downconvert the incoming freq, to one that can be transmitted along wires.
[12:00:00] dogbert: quitte: I got the lnb info. the value in dB is the noise figure, not SNR. so lower numbers are better
[12:00:00] dogbert: if they quote 0.7dB SNR they're mistaken ;-)
[12:00:00] quitte: ugh. so 0,7 is really bad
[12:01:00] fred_basset: ~= 0 signal
[12:01:00] quitte: the crappy ones from the supermarket are 0.6 and 0.5
[12:01:00] dogbert: good ones are like 0.3dB & less
[12:01:00] quitte: damn. that sure explains why i have to jump out the window every few weeks
[12:02:00] fred_basset: dogbert: is that the attenuation of the lnb?
[12:02:00] dogbert: it's very interesting how LNBs work... they take frequencies in the high GHz range, mix them with a local oscillator & the resultant frequency is lower than the input :-)
[12:03:00] quitte: and i bet if you open them you dont get to see anything interesting?
[12:03:00] dogbert: fred_basset: the dB figure is the 'noise figure' – i.e. the amount of noise output by the amplifier in the LNB
[12:03:00] dogbert: quitte: SHF amps aren't very interesting to look at, no
[12:03:00] fred_basset: ah.
[12:04:00] dogbert: fred_basset: you could look at that like an attenuator in some ways because the incoming signal will have noise added to it ;-)
[12:04:00] quitte: db is logarithmic – so 0,5db is a lot better than 0,7?

[12:05:00] quitte: sigh. so hard to buy things you dont understand the specs of
[12:05:00] dogbert: gain = amplification factor
[12:05:00] fred_basset: dvb-s is a bit of a technical art...
[12:05:00] dogbert: more is better
[12:06:00] dogbert: gain.. higher numbers better
[12:06:00] quitte: this one i have here doesnt even mention gain
[12:06:00] dogbert: noise figure – lower numbers are better
[12:06:00] dogbert: quitte: well... find another shop
[12:07:00] quitte: but noise is relative – so noise distance is more important?
[12:07:00] quitte: dogbert: i was looking at the actual lnb
[12:07:00] dogbert: well, a 50dB gain amp with a noise figure of 3dB will be worse than a 45dB gain LNB with a noise figure of 0.5dB
[12:08:00] dogbert: go for lower noise
[12:08:00] quitte: i dont have very long cables – so i'd think amp is really not that important
[12:08:00] dogbert: course 0.2dB might not make all that much difference at all if you get a good signal in the first place
[12:10:00] quitte: dogbert: do you know about positioning the lnb in its holding? as in moving away from the dish or to the dish?
[12:10:00] dogbert: OMFG.. that's a satellite & cable publication called SCATMAG
[12:10:00] Dibblah: quitte: Ah. You're here.
[12:10:00] quitte: i'd think there is some linkage to which astras you get better

[12:14:00] fred_basset: cartoons in general :)

[12:14:00] Elbonian: Indeed.
[12:15:00] dogbert: fred_basset: they have laws against that kind of thing
[12:15:00] fred_basset: wouldn't fit anyway...
[12:15:00] [Jasper]: hmm why is it that some sites say the nvidia geforce 4 has full hardware mpeg2 decoding?
[12:15:00] GreyFoxx: Because the hardware does ?
[12:16:00] [Jasper]: hmm GreyFoxx but the 5200 doesn't?
[12:16:00] GreyFoxx: I would expect that it does
[12:18:00] ivor: perhaps its a typical "marketing distortion field"
[12:19:00] [Jasper]: probably
[12:19:00] [Jasper]: it would be weird having a geforce4 with full mpeg2 hardware decoding...and 6200 without
[12:21:00] dogbert: do any of them perform _full_ decoding anyway? I've always been led to believe xvmc just 'helped'
[12:22:00] ivor: dogbert: all shades of grey.
[12:22:00] ivor: dx3 was about the only one that did full decoding I think.
[12:23:00] [Jasper]: all those specs got me a bit confused...some sites saying they do have it...some sites saying they don't
[12:23:00] Dibblah: ... The fully-featured DVB cards do full decoding.
[12:23:00] [Jasper]: I think it's just support from the card
[12:24:00] ivor: Dibblah: yeah I thought we were talking about video cards. :)
[12:24:00] Dibblah: You just feed in the raw mpeg stream and it squirts it out the video / audio connector. Same with the pvr350.
[12:24:00] Dibblah: How aren't they video cards? ;)
[12:25:00] dogbert: fully featured DVB cards aren't made anymore afaik
[12:25:00] ivor: Dibblah: true
[12:25:00] [Jasper]: but the question is...are there, or are there not nvidia cards with full mpeg2 hardware :P
[12:25:00] dogbert: ask nvidia
[12:26:00] dogbert: they make the chips, so they'd know & they'd always tell the truth, right? ;)
[12:26:00] ivor: wahahahahahahahhaaaaahahahaaa
[12:26:00] [Jasper]: :p\
[12:27:00] dogbert: from the nvidia site, regarding 'purevideo': "With dedicated hardware to accelerate MPEG-2/DVD"
[12:27:00] dogbert: looks like they only assist then
[12:30:00] dogbert: still, on my 800mhz system xvmc took cpu usage down by a fair amount, and I only have an fx5200
[12:31:00] dogbert: might not be _full_ decoding but it's worth having :-)
[12:34:00] Dr_Barnowl (n=Dr_Barno@spc2-bolt7-3-1-cust104.bagu.broadband.ntl.com) has joined #mythtv-users
[12:34:00] Dr_Barnowl: Hello
[12:34:00] Dr_Barnowl: Here'sa fun one : if my Myth box reboots without a keyboard plugged in, some of the buttons on the remote stop working.
[12:35:00] Dr_Barnowl: Suggestions for tricking Linux into thinking a keyboard is plugged in at all times?
[12:36:00] dogbert: never had my frontend reboot cos it has no keyboard.. i dont think having a keyboard unplugged is the problem
[12:37:00] Dr_Barnowl: No, the problem is not that it's rebooting. The problem is, when I *choose* to reboot it, if I don't have a keyboard plugged in while it boots, some of the buttons on the remote (including OK and Exit) stop working.
[12:37:00] dogbert: eew
[12:38:00] splAt1 is now known as splat1
[12:38:00] Dr_Barnowl: I'd guess it's something to do with the way the remote driver sends events through the keyboard.
[12:38:00] dogbert: you using irexec by any chance? irexec similautes keybaord presses doesn't it? no yeboard – nothing to simulate?
[12:38:00] Dr_Barnowl: But I'm not up for another marathon C hacking session to fix it.
[12:38:00] dogbert: yeboard? keyboard
[12:39:00] Dr_Barnowl: No, the driver just does it on it's own
[12:39:00] ** fred_basset chews on dogberts yeboard... **
[12:40:00] Dr_Barnowl: The last time, it was buttons on the remote not working because they had no mapping values ; had to submit a kernal patch to get that one fixed.
[12:40:00] ** dogbert unplugs & replugs keyboards with wild abandon to no apparent ill-effect, on a regular basis **
[12:40:00] Dr_Barnowl: Yeah, once it's booted, you can unplug it
[12:40:00] Dr_Barnowl: It's just booting without one that causes it
[12:40:00] Dr_Barnowl: Thing is, I've now got a USE for the keyboard.
[12:40:00] Dr_Barnowl: Instead of just sitting behind my MythTV box....
[12:40:00] dogbert: same on my frontend though – I sometimes plug a keyboard in
[12:41:00] dogbert: sometimes I don't.. works regardless
[12:41:00] Dr_Barnowl: Bah.
[12:41:00] dogbert: can't think of any logical reason why X would care
[12:41:00] Dr_Barnowl: s'not X.
[12:41:00] Dr_Barnowl: It's the keyboard drivers, I think
[12:42:00] dogbert: is it a USB keyboard?
[12:42:00] Dr_Barnowl: Because "OK" actually generates an "ENTER" keypress normally, but it stops when you unplug it.
[12:42:00] Dr_Barnowl: PS/2
[12:43:00] quitte: thats a funny way to use lirc
[12:43:00] Dr_Barnowl: Something about the ir-common module must abuse the keyboard driver to generate keypresses. And if you don't plug in a keyboard, it doesn't work anymore.....
[12:43:00] dogbert: I don't know enough about how linux treats keyboard devices to be able to help, obviously
[12:43:00] Dr_Barnowl: LIRC not involved for the "OK" key. Just weird ones like "NEXT_SONG".
[12:43:00] Dr_Barnowl: Where there is an obvious mapping to a standard keyboard key, it's used.
[12:44:00] tweak_st: you check the lirc mailing archive?
[12:44:00] Dr_Barnowl: Otherwise, LIRC maps it to the equivalent Myth keypress. Check out linux/drivers/media/common/ir-common.c
[12:44:00] tweak_st: maybe somebody else had your problem
[12:45:00] dogbert: it's hardly expected behaviour to only have a keyboard plugged in sometimes – it'd usually be one or the other
[12:45:00] fred_basset (n=stuarta@81.1.94.11) Quit ("they're breaking my network!!!!")
[12:45:00] Dr_Barnowl: I'ts not an LIRC problem, because the buttons concerned don't go through LIRC
[12:46:00] dogbert: wha?
[12:46:00] quitte: could i use ok button as enter in my terminal when i have setup a remote and myth running?
[12:46:00] Dr_Barnowl: On my system, yes
[12:46:00] dogbert: ouch
[12:46:00] Dr_Barnowl: Even wihtout myth or LIRC running
[12:46:00] quitte: thats clearly a bug
[12:46:00] Dr_Barnowl: It's the way the driver is implemented
[12:47:00] quitte: should only work with myth
[12:47:00] Dr_Barnowl: The driver generates keyboard impulses.
[12:47:00] dogbert: post your lircrc file
[12:47:00] quitte: so you type your gf grabs ir and pushes buttons and your system is fucked. hooray!
[12:47:00] dogbert: Dr_Barnowl: lirc tends to direct keypress events at applications
[12:47:00] Dr_Barnowl: I only admin it from a ssh terminal
[12:48:00] Dr_Barnowl: So that's not a problem.
[12:48:00] quitte: it is a potentially dangerous problem that you have to know to avoid. and it wouldnt come to anybodys mind before it happens that it might happen
[12:49:00] dogbert: what kind of remote is it? one of them things that sits in the keyboard area?
[12:49:00] quitte: i'd expect the ir to control myth even if it is running on a different terminal
[12:50:00] Dr_Barnowl: It's the stock remote from a Hauppauge WinTV-Nova-T PCI
[12:50:00] dogbert: the thing is. LIRC simulates keypresses IIRC. some IR receivers have to be cludged to work like keyboard devices
[12:51:00] Dr_Barnowl: .lircrc at http://pastebin.ca/41935
[12:51:00] dogbert: you generally don't need to mess about with kernel shennanigans to get LIRC to operate
[12:51:00] Dr_Barnowl: I had to patch the driver because it was missing some of the button impulses rom the remote : my remote was a newer revision than the driver code.
[12:52:00] dogbert: ah
[12:52:00] Dr_Barnowl: It was making the kernal log show up things like "unknown keycode"
[12:52:00] dogbert: didn't irrecord work?
[12:52:00] Dr_Barnowl: It's an event device
[12:52:00] Calroth: are you sure you were even using lirc?
[12:52:00] dogbert: right...
[12:52:00] Dr_Barnowl: Using lirc compiled in /dev/event mode
[12:52:00] Calroth: iirc, plugging the nova-t receiver in generated keypresses without even using lirc
[12:52:00] dogbert: yeh i can see how it's gone wrong now
[12:53:00] Calroth: i.e. if you turn off lirc and plug in your keyboard, the remote will (may) still work :-)
[12:53:00] dogbert: that's cludgy
[12:53:00] Dr_Barnowl: Yeah, the remote behves like a keyboard
[12:53:00] Dr_Barnowl: With weird keys like "NEXT_SONG" – they're all defined in the kernel keyboard.h file
[12:54:00] quitte: is that normal lirc behaviour?
[12:54:00] Dr_Barnowl: LIRC is not involved
[12:54:00] Dr_Barnowl: AFK a mo
[12:54:00] dogbert: in your position I'd get a serial LIRC receiver
[12:54:00] Calroth: for what it's worth, I soldered together a serial port to ir adaptor for my nova-t remote, and use lirc_serial
[12:55:00] quitte: that really got me worried. but im happy again.
[12:55:00] dogbert: Calroth: doing it that way has the advantage you can use remotes other than hauppauge's crappy $0.20 thing ;-)
[12:55:00] Calroth: yeah – one less remote on the lounge table, you can re-use your tv remove
[12:56:00] ** dogbert uses a custom-programmed OneForAll-6 **
[12:56:00] Calroth: assuming your tv will ignore the input when you're pointing it at the myth box ;-)
[12:56:00] dogbert: heh
[12:56:00] quitte: soldering iron fixes tv ir
[12:56:00] Dr_Barnowl: back.... I'm fine with it, I'm happy with the behaviour : apart from it not working when it boots without a keyboard plugged into the PS/2 port
[12:57:00] Dr_Barnowl: I mean, I hacked my way through the driver code and got a frickin' patch in the Linux Kernel, how many people can say that.....
[12:57:00] quitte: hmmm. even a drill could do it
[12:58:00] Dr_Barnowl: I just wondered if there was a way of telling the kernel "regardless of what the hardware says, you have a keyboard plugged in, so damn well behave like it"
[12:58:00] ** quitte gets a hammer and goes out to fix his dish **
[12:58:00] Dr_Barnowl: I suppose there might be a BIOS option I can set....

[13:14:00] [Jasper]: and when I resize the gui too fall of the tv..it's kinda ugly
[13:14:00] dogbert: Jasper: I already told you – bump up the overscan so the black bars no longer appear on any channels, & resize the gui a tad
[13:15:00] [Jasper]: dogbert...but the tvchannels use the gui size at the moment
[13:15:00] [Jasper]: some channels have black bars..some don't
[13:15:00] dogbert: so? set them to not use the gui size
[13:15:00] Beirdo: so live with it
[13:15:00] [Jasper]: dogbert so you suggest..not use the gui size...make the overscan even larger...and then select gui size again?

[13:18:00] [Jasper]: overscan is at max and still black bars..

[13:18:00] [Jasper]: yes I know that
[13:18:00] [Jasper]: but I got a geforce2 not very good overscanning capabilites
[13:18:00] laga: you can adjust the overscan in mythtv as well.

[13:24:00] [Jasper]: :P
[13:25:00] laga: huh? i didn't know it gets bigger when you overscan in mythtv
[13:25:00] dogbert: 'trying' would be a better word ;-)
[13:27:00] [Jasper]: :p
[13:28:00] [Jasper]: it doesn't get bigger...but it falls of the screen :P
[13:28:00] dogbert: try a different OSD theme then
[13:28:00] laga: and it is normal if you don't use mythtv's overscans etting?
[13:30:00] dogbert: Jasper: what video mode are you using?
[13:31:00] [Jasper]: 800x600
[13:31:00] dogbert: I can't change the amount of overscan in my video driver at all – merely enable & disable it
[13:32:00] [Jasper]: I use nvtv
[13:32:00] dogbert: Jasper: try other modes – there might be one that fits better
[13:32:00] [Jasper]: might wanna try 1024x768
[13:32:00] dogbert: nvtv has lots of modes to try
[13:34:00] Kyler: Grrrr...I thought I finally had things working *so* well. This morning I saw that there was a buffer overrun at 6:43AM. Then I found the backend unresponsive. I restarted it and discovered that I didn't get any of my recordings from this morning – not even the one that would have been recording at 6:43. I also see that when I restarted there was a flurry of dropped data from the three encoders that started. Ug.

[14:08:00] Beirdo: now, auto mode q...
[14:08:00] Dibblah: No. Auto kick-ban would be extreme.
[14:08:00] Beirdo: for 5 minutes or something
[14:08:00] Beirdo: that would be cool

[14:08:00] Beirdo: for a limited time

[15:15:00] chuckyp: Okay need a little help with getting the program guide to display the right time.
[15:17:00] chuckyp: I'm in Ohio using Eastern Standard Time. System clock in bios is set for current time here. Mythtv shows the time as being five hours ahead.
[15:17:00] chuckyp: and program guide data is five hours behind the actual time here not system time.
[15:18:00] chuckyp: So how do I even come close to sorting this out.
[15:18:00] Kelerion: theres an option in the frontend->setup to specify a time offset
[15:18:00] Kelerion: I seem to recall
[15:18:00] synmoo: Does the system clock think it's UTC?
[15:18:00] chuckyp: synmoo, yes
[15:18:00] chuckyp: Kelerion, I've looked and can't find that.
[15:18:00] synmoo: thats the problem
[15:18:00] synmoo: if in the bios the clock is set for local time
[15:18:00] chuckyp: synmoo, Okay so how do I fix that?
[15:19:00] synmoo: and the system thinks this time is UTC
[15:19:00] chuckyp: synmoo, like the results of date show 5+ hrs of current time and say UTC
[15:19:00] dogbert: what'
[15:20:00] dogbert: what's your local time say?
[15:20:00] dogbert: and what timezone is your system set to?
[15:20:00] chuckyp: dogbert, I just set the timezone via tzone or whatever to Eastern
[15:20:00] dogbert: ah ok
[15:20:00] chuckyp: dogbert, but the system clock still thinks its in utc
[15:20:00] synmoo: yeah but the box thinks it's time is UTC
[15:21:00] synmoo: then applies the timezone adjustment to that
[15:21:00] dogbert: .. if it's set to the right timezone
[15:21:00] chuckyp: synmoo, Shouldn't the bios time be set to my local time?
[15:22:00] chuckyp: synmoo, Or should I set it to UTC
[15:22:00] dogbert: set the BIOS time to local time
[15:22:00] synmoo: well the timezone the box is in.. and whether or not the box thinks it's in UTC are differen
[15:22:00] dogbert: set the linux timezone to be where you are
[15:22:00] synmoo: if the box thinks the system clock is set to UTC, it will apply the timezone setting to that
[15:22:00] synmoo: if the box knows that it's clock is NOT UTC
[15:22:00] synmoo: it will NOT apply the timezone correction to normal time
[15:22:00] synmoo: so two options:
[15:23:00] synmoo: well 3
[15:23:00] synmoo: 1. set the system clock to UTC
[15:23:00] synmoo: 2. tell the box that the system clock is local time, not UTC
[15:23:00] synmoo: or 3. set your timezone to GMT/UTC
[15:23:00] chuckyp: Okay how do we do option 2
[15:24:00] synmoo: I know how to do it during the initial box install, but not after the fact. :-)
[15:24:00] dogbert: make a symlink from the right place in /usr/share/zoneinfo to /etc/local/timezone ?
[15:25:00] dogbert: oops
[15:25:00] synmoo: Just set your clock in the BIOS to UTC. All will magically be fixed and the time will still be shown correctly.
[15:25:00] dogbert: ls -al /etc/localtime
[15:25:00] dogbert: lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 22 Jun 24 2005 /etc/localtime -> /usr/share/zoneinfo/GB
[15:26:00] dogbert: synmoo: yes, but what about DST? how would that be handled in UTC?
[15:26:00] synmoo: the timezone settings would handle that
[15:27:00] synmoo: set your timezone to eastern and use daylight when appropriate and it will adjust the times that are show to you from UTC
[15:27:00] dogbert: for such a seemingly simple thing, it's complicated isn't it? ;-)
[15:27:00] ** Kelerion is glad he's in the uk.. no messing them :) **
[15:27:00] synmoo: it really is
[15:27:00] chuckyp: synmoo, The reason I didn't use the timezone thing during setup is because it thinks the hardware clock is UTC
[15:27:00] synmoo: the idea is that all systems in the world should be at UTC
[15:28:00] synmoo: right
[15:28:00] chuckyp: synmoo, So it would be -5hrs behind what the current time is if I used it.
[15:28:00] dogbert: and all time is a positive integer, where zero is midnight, jan 1st 1970... heh
[15:29:00] chuckyp: synmoo, So the way it should be fixed is setting the hardware clock to UTC
[15:29:00] synmoo: chuckyp: That's probably the easiest way, yes.
[15:29:00] chuckyp: synmoo, But thats not going to fix the problem because it will add 5 hours to that. Which is wrong
[15:29:00] chuckyp: synmoo, It needs to subtract 5 hours.
[15:29:00] synmoo: wait your listings are 5 hours ahead or 5 behind?
[15:30:00] chuckyp: synmoo, Here its 10:30hrs right now here mythtv is showing 15:30hrs. and the program guide is showing data for 0530hrs. if that makes any sense to you.
[15:30:00] synmoo: chuckyp: wtf
[15:30:00] chuckyp: so program data is 5 hours behind current time.
[15:31:00] chuckyp: mythtv is 5 hours ahead of current time.
[15:31:00] synmoo: wow
[15:31:00] chuckyp: lol
[15:31:00] chuckyp: exactly
[15:31:00] synmoo: ok lets fix one at ttime
[15:31:00] synmoo: set your bios for UTC
[15:31:00] synmoo: lol
[15:31:00] chuckyp: alright
[15:31:00] chuckyp: lets try that and reboot hold up
[15:31:00] synmoo: hold on
[15:31:00] chuckyp: have to run across the room
[15:31:00] chuckyp: k holding
[15:31:00] synmoo: what time does the clock say in gnome/kde whatever on the task bar?
[15:32:00] chuckyp: let me check
[15:32:00] chuckyp: time on task bar is 1532
[15:32:00] chuckyp: so 5 hours plus
[15:33:00] dogbert: you're on Uk time :-)
[15:33:00] chuckyp: dogbert, Yes i'm on UTC
[15:33:00] chuckyp: dogbert, Hence the problem
[15:33:00] chuckyp: dogbert, It should be on EST
[15:33:00] dogbert: ahhh.. UTC = greenwich?
[15:33:00] chuckyp: dogbert, yes
[15:33:00] dogbert: so nice they picked us
[15:34:00] synmoo: well you're the prime meridian or whatever. :-)
[15:34:00] dogbert: figures.. not on form today
[15:34:00] synmoo: chuckyp: ok set the bios clock to UTC so 1532 and we'll go from there
[15:34:00] chuckyp: synmoo, Okay let me do that. Plus I don't even want to know what ntp is going to do at 4 am
[15:35:00] dogbert: chuckyp: ntp should be okay
[15:36:00] chuckyp: Okay does nix have the ability to change the bios time or hardware time?
[15:36:00] dogbert: iirc, you set your time to what the local timezone is at install time, then set the time to what the local time is
[15:37:00] chuckyp: Because I just checked it and it was UTC so I'm changing it to local time.
[15:37:00] dogbert: then when you shut down it sets your BIOS time to current system time
[15:37:00] dogbert: no hang on.. I'll STFU
[15:38:00] dogbert: aha..
[15:38:00] dogbert: http://www.linuxsa.org.au/tips/time.html
[15:38:00] dogbert: [#mythtv-users]
[15:39:00] dogbert: When Linux boots, one of the initialisation scripts will run the /sbin/hwclock program to copy the current hardware clock time to the system clock. hwclock will assume the hardware clock is set to local time unless it is run with the --utc switch.
[15:39:00] chuckyp: synmoo, Okay set the bios time to "local time" (it was UTC for some reason). And now the time in myth and one the taskbar is correct.
[15:39:00] synmoo: awesome
[15:39:00] synmoo: now reboot to make sure it stays that way
[15:39:00] synmoo: :-)
[15:39:00] dogbert: and I learnt a little about how linux time works
[15:40:00] chuckyp: k
[15:41:00] dogbert: little tip for yous... if you have different frontends, it helps a lot to have them all get their time via ntp to avoid playback issues
[15:41:00] chuckyp: synmoo, I'm rebooting now I'm sure it will stay that way atleast until crontab runs NTP at 4am
[15:41:00] chuckyp: synmoo, But we'll check anyways
[15:41:00] laga: dogbert: why would that mess with playback?
[15:41:00] dogbert: laga: the way myth worked out its playback timing I think

[15:44:00] Elbonian: What if your house straddled a timezone?
[15:44:00] chuckyp: synmoo, Okay on reboot time stayed correct; now just the program guide is behind 5 hours.
[15:44:00] dogbert: I think it's because myth uses absolute timestamps
[15:46:00] dogbert: (if it does it might explain it anyway)
[15:46:00] chuckyp: synmoo, So now how do we fix the programguide data?
[15:46:00] laga: dogbert: i should set up ntp then :)
[15:47:00] dogbert: laga: newer versions of minimyth chuck their guts if you don't tell em a timeserver
[15:47:00] dogbert: apparently it's really important that the timing be close to the backend
[15:47:00] laga: dogbert: sounds like a fragile distro
[15:47:00] chuckyp: I think I'm jsut going to reinstall
[15:48:00] dogbert: laga: my gentoo frontend was the same
[15:48:00] dogbert: chuckyp: no no no... :-)
[15:48:00] chuckyp: dogbert, Okay well then how would I get the programguide correct?
[15:48:00] dogbert: chuckyp: if the guide data was grabbed & your TZ was wrong...

[15:49:00] dogbert: so grab your epg data again & see how it goes then
[15:49:00] chuckyp: UTC is wrong but if I change the timezone it will mess up the time, SO I have to set the bios to UTC and select a timezone somehow.
[15:50:00] dogbert: myth thinks it's the right time, right
[15:50:00] dogbert: system thinks its the right time
[15:50:00] chuckyp: system does not think its the right time.

[15:51:00] chuckyp: dogbert, So what do you want me to do re-run mythfilldatabase?
[15:51:00] rjune: chuckyp: what distro?
[15:51:00] chuckyp: dogbert, i.e. go into mythtv-setup and blow out channel data then re-run it.
[15:51:00] dogbert: don't take any of my advice today ;-)
[15:51:00] chuckyp: rjune, knoppmyth its debian based.
[15:51:00] threat: sooooo, is there a debian package for mythtv?
[15:51:00] threat: chuckyp, is there?
[15:51:00] rjune: dunno how to set time there3
[15:52:00] dogbert: chuckyp: how did the time end up wrong anyway? select the wrong TZ at install time?
[15:52:00] chuckyp: threat, I don't know knoppmyth is a distro designed with mythtv built in etc...
[15:52:00] chuckyp: dogbert, yes
[15:53:00] dogbert: chuckyp: I'll pull that page I posted earlier
[15:53:00] chuckyp: dogbert, I didn't select a timezone at install time. I just told it to leave the setting alone becuase If i select a timezone it will put it 5 hours behind current time. Because it thinks the bios is UTC.
[15:54:00] chuckyp: I'm completely lost.
[15:54:00] dogbert: so am I LOL
[15:55:00] deego (n=user@12.166.244.34) has joined #mythtv-users
[15:55:00] chuckyp: dogbert, Here's the way I think it should be and is on every other install. BIOS time should be set to local time. Right?
[15:55:00] dogbert: we're not really UTC all year round in the UK..
[15:55:00] dogbert: chuckyp: yup
[15:55:00] threat: chuckyp, yeah, buts its an complete distro
[15:56:00] chuckyp: dogbert, Okay then during the install if I select eastern time. For the time zone. it changes it to -5hours behind the BIOS time. You still with me?
[15:57:00] chuckyp: dogbert, Hence why I didn't do that. Because then I would have to set the bios to UTC the software to EST and pray that the program data was correct and that NTP would function properly.
[15:57:00] threat: b
[15:57:00] dogbert: no it wouldn't do that
[15:57:00] dogbert: if your TZ is set right & you use ntp, then surely you'll end up with the right time
[15:58:00] scopeuk: its like one of the spec opps guns
[15:58:00] dogbert: linux uses the TZ info to work out your offset from UTC
[15:58:00] dogbert: NTP info is in UTC
[15:58:00] Elbonian: dogbert: http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/B00005KJJ9 Nice and cheap :-)
[15:58:00] dogbert: therefore... :-)
[15:58:00] scopeuk: sorry wrong chan
[15:59:00] dogbert: Elbonian: ohh 'high speed' USB cables? bet they move fast at that price too ;-)
[15:59:00] chuckyp: dogbert, Okay then my problem began that my timezone Is not set and I ran ntp which updated the BIOS time to UTC. and since my timezone isn't set it is using UTC instead of subtracint the hours.
[15:59:00] dogbert: so set your timezone already
[15:59:00] dogbert: ntp sets _system_ time not bios time
[16:00:00] chuckyp: dogbert, NTP sets BIOS time trust me it just did.
[16:00:00] dogbert: how do you know that?
[16:01:00] dogbert: cos when you shut your system down, your BIOS clock gets set to the current time to make sure it keeps track during the time your machine's powered off
[16:01:00] chuckyp: dogbert, because if I run ntp it changes the bios time and adds 5 hours it thinks the clock is 5 hours behind.

[16:02:00] dogbert: USB cables.. £10.. half price!
[16:02:00] quitte: dogbert: ntp doesn't set bios time. maybe your shutdown scrits do.

[16:02:00] dogbert: quite, quitte ;-)
[16:02:00] quitte: dogbert: im just backing you
[16:03:00] chuckyp: dogbert, Okay well the question still is how do I tell nix that this box is in EST
[16:03:00] dogbert: wait a bloody minute here chuckyp
[16:03:00] chuckyp: dogbert, because it still thinks its in UTC
[16:03:00] dogbert: set your BIOS time to your local time or whatever. it doesn't matter
[16:03:00] quitte: chuckyp: tzconfig
[16:03:00] dogbert: set up your timezone, then set the time & date with the _date_ command
[16:04:00] chuckyp: quitte, I've tried tzconfig not working.
[16:04:00] quitte: chuckyp: how does it not work?
[16:04:00] chuckyp: quitte, Well i've told it est and when I type date in it still thnks its UTC
[16:05:00] chuckyp: quitte, here watch.
[16:05:00] quitte: chuckyp: when i run it i get told my current timezone was Europe/Berlin and im asked wether i wanted to change that
[16:05:00] dogbert: chuckyp: knoppmyth isn't having its timezone setting stored in /usr/lib/timezone is it?

[19:25:00] chuckyp: Beirdo, Is ther any way to shrink the size of the theme or maybe I don't have to do that. The problem is in some windows within mythtv i'm losing the first few characters off the left of my tv. I need to move it over or shrink the image some how.
[19:25:00] a1cypher: then it screws up again as soon as I change channels.
[19:25:00] chuckyp: a1cypher, What type of tuner are you using?
[19:26:00] Beirdo: chuckyp: there is a gui size adjustment in the frontend setup menu
[19:26:00] Beirdo: or you can tweak your overscan in X

[19:27:00] chuckyp: Beirdo, Wouldn't I want to go under zero for over scan
[19:27:00] Beirdo: yup
[19:27:00] chuckyp: Beirdo, And let me look for that gui size adjustment.
[19:27:00] a1cypher: its a Hauppauge WinTV 150
[19:28:00] Cardoe: hey Beirdo
[19:28:00] Beirdo: whazzup?
[19:28:00] a1cypher: I think it may have something to do with it trying to change channels. I am using the IR Blaster to change channels on my reciever; is it possible to disable the commands from myth to the card to change channels since I am not using cable, just S-Vid?
[19:28:00] Cardoe: nada. you?
[19:28:00] Cardoe: Issac got a little upset last night

[19:29:00] Cardoe: wife musta made him sleep on the couch or something
[19:29:00] Beirdo: it does happen sometimes to all of us
[19:29:00] chuckyp: a1cypher, Yeah get rid of the external channel change script in mythtv-setup

[19:29:00] Cardoe: yep

[19:31:00] Chutt: ssure
[19:31:00] a1cypher: ?? that's got nothing to do with Myth
[19:32:00] a1cypher: I want the internal changer, the one that tells the Card to switch channels on the Coax input to stop

[19:47:00] r10: KaZeR: what will happen if I do a make install on the source I downloadet from the mythtv site ?
[19:47:00] KaZeR: r10, you may go into trouble because of paths. although this is doable, i wouldn't recommend it.

[21:07:00] dev-: im having a problem with livetv wheen it swtiches between liveshows on the same channel/tuner
[21:08:00] dev-: where the frontend just stops

[21:08:00] Juski: scheduled recordings are going well so far
[21:09:00] dev-: its the livetv stuff i have problems with
[21:09:00] ILuser: yeah i may have to hold off until wifey won't freak if her recordings don't happen
[21:09:00] dev-: slowass channel changing when its supposed to be faster
[21:09:00] dev-: mythfrontend stopping when livetv shows switch
[21:09:00] ILuser: yeah i gave up on the fast livetv channel changing already
[21:10:00] dev-: i think it was faster for me in .18
[21:10:00] dmachi: dev-: I have that same problem with the switch between programs :(
[21:10:00] dev-: maybe because my frontends are remote, dunno.. but its slow ;/
[21:10:00] ILuser: who knows
[21:10:00] dev-: dmachi: ugh, great, any idea whats wrong with it?
[21:10:00] dmachi: thought the channel change speed, seems to me (even with 19) to be faster than my moms tivo :P
[21:10:00] ILuser: hah i hear that
[21:11:00] ILuser: i dropped the tivo long time ago over that
[21:11:00] dev-: ive only seen a tivo once, never used one heh
[21:11:00] dmachi: dev-: I had seen some bugs that seem to indicate it was a problem with the pvr-350
[21:11:00] dev-: i dont have a 350 ;/
[21:11:00] dev-: 4 250's
[21:11:00] dmachi: well i think the bug was actually for pvr-*50
[21:11:00] dev-: ugh..
[21:11:00] dmachi: anyway, i tried to update to svn last night
[21:11:00] dmachi: but it didn't fi the probelm
[21:12:00] dmachi: are you having problems going into the guide and scheduling a recording too?
[21:12:00] dev-: havent tried that yet, i do all my scheduling fom mythweb
[21:12:00] ILuser: ah so yeah, maybe i'll hold off ;) thanks for sharing guys
[21:12:00] dev-: wil try now though, any specific to do?
[21:13:00] dev-: any+thing
[21:13:00] dmachi: hit guide, select a program, and try to make it record
[21:13:00] dev-: osd guide while watching livetv or guilde in 'manage recordings'?
[21:13:00] dmachi: it just did nothing for me (though a program i had already scheduled did in fact record fine)

[21:15:00] dmachi: i've not really started to try to isolate the problem yet.
[21:16:00] dmachi: but my wife is getting pissy with me because it basically freezes and i have to escape to the menu between each program
[21:16:00] dev-: yeah.. i have that same problem
[21:16:00] ILuser: dmachi: been there
[21:16:00] dmachi: :)
[21:16:00] Juski: lesson to be learned here. record everything & watch when you want to watch it, not when 'they' want you to
[21:16:00] dev-: nothing in the frontend log really except 'timing out wait due to impending livetv switch'
[21:17:00] Juski: you spend more time watching great TV
[21:17:00] dev-: then 'waited too ong for ringbuffer pause'
[21:17:00] dev-: then froze
[21:17:00] dmachi: yeah thats basically what I get
[21:17:00] dev-: Juski: great advice juski, but sometimes you just channel surf to see whats on and land on tlc or dsc
[21:17:00] dev-: and want to watch it for more than 1 program :P

[22:21:00] dev-: has livetv been deprecated too is that why it doesnt work?
[22:21:00] dev-: ;p
[22:21:00] kormoc: dev-, not at all, but live tv is now just done as instantly scheduled recordings.
[22:22:00] briand: livetv works fine on my system, under 0.19
[22:22:00] Ediehow: dev-: so it'd be like define('home', $_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'] ? $
[22:22:00] Ediehow: change server_name to whatever ?
[22:22:00] dev-: briand: have you watched livetv past the current shows time, like say, 2 episodes of the simpsons back to back?
[22:22:00] kormoc: dev-, hence why it shows up instantly on the recorded tv list, and allows to be streamed to clients.

[23:06:00] briand: ..but, because I once recorded the local news, and on a different occasion, recorded the national news... they always show up as 'previously recorded' (because in the listings database, they have the same "original airdate" [== 1957!!], and are marked as 'reruns'. I might suggest that the "rerun" flag and "original airdate" be _ignored_ when the program's category == "News"
[23:06:00] tweak_st: Juski did you have problems with the visualizations?
[23:07:00] Juski: tweak_st: I don't use em
[23:07:00] Ediehow: dev-: did you create a /var/www/mythweb directory thing in httpd.conf?
[23:07:00] dev-: no because i dont have anything else on my master backend that uses apache
[23:08:00] Juski: I might use the albumart one when I get my music DB back on track though
[23:08:00] dev-: so i gues the focus of .19 was mythmusic
[23:08:00] dev-: heh
[23:08:00] dev-: 'who cares about livetv, lets release this busted thing' :)
[23:09:00] tweak_st: theres one that uses albumart??
[23:09:00] tweak_st: i was thinking of adding that in
[23:09:00] tweak_st: link pls!
[23:09:00] Juski: in mythvideo my remote's menu button doesn't bring up the options anymore (like choosing gallery, browse, list).. has that key changed?
[23:10:00] tweak_st: juski is that the settings or watch videos?
[23:11:00] Juski: watch videos

[23:27:00] ircsloth: can someone tell me how I can disable the auto commercial flagging job? My mythbox seems to be crashing and I read that this can often be one of the causes on the knoppmyth wiki
[23:28:00] Chutt: briand, notice the big huge 'guide for submitting features requests, bugs, and patches' link at the top of the new ticket page?
[23:28:00] Chutt: no, of course you didn't
[23:28:00] Chutt: why do i even bother asking
[23:28:00] briand: ircsloth: turn off commercial flagging in setup.
[23:28:00] ircsloth: I checked the crontabs on the box and can't find any jobs
[23:28:00] juski_: briand: no I was just saying... there's a hell of a lot of work in putting a new theme together – far more than is first apparent
[23:28:00] briand: Chutt: what are you on about??

[23:29:00] Chutt: First, please verify that:
[23:29:00] juski_: jams: would you agree? kinda makes you wish you'd never started it sometimes
[23:29:00] Chutt: That this is really a bug, and not a feature request. Feature requests should go in the wiki.

[23:30:00] juski_: mythvideo, especially.. that's a beast – admittedly not as much as ui.xml is ;-)
[23:30:00] briand: Chutt: yes, I've read that. So, you think having something work correctly is a "feature request" ???
[23:30:00] eye69: Hello. I'm having trouble finding where I can limit the maximum time (or space) that the livetv buffer can use.
[23:30:00] Chutt: sure it is
[23:30:00] Chutt: it works correctly now.
[23:30:00] briand: No it doesn't.
[23:30:00] Chutt: um
[23:30:00] Chutt: the data you're getting is bad.
[23:30:00] Chutt: that's myth's fault?
[23:30:00] juski_: eye69: it'll take as much disk on the recording partition as you've got
[23:30:00] kormoc: eye69, there is no live tv buffer. it's stored the same as normal recordsing, with it se tot autoexpire first.
[23:31:00] briand: I believe that's flagged as an "enhancement" for that reason.
[23:31:00] briand: ..ie: not a bug. ..but something that requires programming to 'fix'
[23:31:00] jams: Juski- i'm hoping the new ui will reduce the redundancy in the themes
[23:31:00] Chutt: ie, feature request.
[23:31:00] eye69: juski_: So there's no way to limit? My partitioning scheme is quite suboptimal, so I only have 5.5GB on / for playing around right now.
[23:32:00] naetrick (n=naetrick@71.224.114.133) has joined #mythtv-users
[23:32:00] briand: but, since 99% of the north american users are getting their data from the same place... it is going to affect 99% of the North American users.
[23:32:00] naetrick: Is MythTv's commercial skip for playback only?
[23:32:00] kormoc: eye69, when your disk space gets low, it autodeletes old recordings to make room for new ones
[23:32:00] juski_: jams: I'm hoping the new ui will do a lot of things ;-)
[23:32:00] jams: so true
[23:33:00] eye69: kormoc: Ok, so having a separate partition (or one that I don't care if it gets full) is the only way?
[23:33:00] jams: guess we just have to wait for chutt to get some free time
[23:33:00] briand: Chutt: "As a feature, I'd like MythWeb not to flag as "previously recorded" shows that I obviously haven't (or couldn't!) previously record." Something like that?
[23:33:00] kormoc: eye69, I beleive you can set the admount it thinks is low, but I don't know how well that would work for you.
[23:33:00] Chutt: for the wiki?
[23:33:00] Beirdo: briand: I've never seen such behavior
[23:33:00] Chutt: first off, it's not mythweb doing the flagging
[23:33:00] kormoc: eye69, and recording tv takes up a lot of room, 5.5g isn't a lot at all
[23:34:00] juski_: quick question (OT) about xorg.conf without a keyboard configured... would I just wipe out any mention of keyboard/mouse devices?
[23:34:00] kormoc: eye69, if you only want to do live tv, tvtime/xawtv might be better options
[23:34:00] chuggachu: is there a fix for the signed packages problem using yum?
[23:34:00] briand: Beirdo: record tonight's ABC Nightly News. Every ABC Nightly news after that will show up in mythweb's listings as "previously recorded"
[23:34:00] naetrick: Anyone?
[23:34:00] Beirdo: then change the duplicate policy
[23:35:00] eye69: kormoc: I was asking as a temporary measure until I can fix my partitioning.
[23:35:00] Beirdo: give me a moment for it to load up my huge recording schedules page :)
[23:35:00] briand: to what? it's marked as a 'rerun' with an original airdate years old.
[23:35:00] juski_: naetrick: commflagging affects recorded programs upon playback, but some utils like mythburn (bah!) and nuvexport.. and even lossless transcode will chop out commercials
[23:36:00] briand: the subtitle is always the same, the main title is always the same but, alas.. .the news is not always the same. ;)
[23:36:00] eye69: kormoc: I found something saying 1GB, but that doesn't seem to have helped.
[23:36:00] briand: I'm not sure if this affects the scheduler — (hm.. i should check that) I think it's just a display thing in mythweb.
[23:37:00] Beirdo: Duplicate Check method: when you setup the recording
[23:37:00] Beirdo: and mythweb just shows what the scheduler tells it
[23:38:00] Beirdo: which is what Chutt was trying to tell you.. It's NOT mythweb that determines what's previously recorded
[23:39:00] Anduin: Beirdo – I don't think that is true anymore, there was that mythweb patch awhile ago that did some manual merge thing.
[23:39:00] Chutt: why i changed it to 'mythtv', not 'mythweb'
[23:39:00] Chutt: unless xris is ignoring that data
[23:39:00] naetrick: juski_: Ok, thanks... I thought I told nuvexport to do so, though... does mythcommflag cut out commercials, or just check for them?

[23:40:00] juski_: not now Pitchin_uk
[23:40:00] Chutt: Anduin, heh
[23:40:00] Pitchin_uk: ok

[23:40:00] Chutt: i have to figure out what in this ffmpeg merge broke ts playback
[23:41:00] Pitchin_uk: nope probs – just to let you know i have successfully ran mythfilldatabase
[23:41:00] Pitchin_uk: all it took was patience
[23:41:00] naetrick: juski_: That I did... I used "myth cutlist", yet it didn't cut them out

[23:41:00] bmbler: Hi. Is this the right place to ask questions about getting ivtv loaded? (I get "ivtv0: unable to open firmware v4l-cx2341x-enc.fw" in the log. Thi sfile does exist under /lib/hotplug/. I am using ubuntu dapper.)
[23:41:00] Pitchin_uk: question for the floor how do i remove channels
[23:42:00] juski_: Pitchin_uk: if you're using DVB (freeview) set them to invisible or they'll come back like a bad smell
[23:42:00] Pitchin_uk: ok
[23:42:00] briand: Anduin: ...and I *love* having the "I want to know if I've recorded this movie before" thing... but there are some categories where it is impractical ('news', and possibly 'newsmagazine')
[23:43:00] Chutt: briand, if mythweb's doing it's own 'recorded before' detection, then i was wrong, and it's certainly a mythweb bug
[23:43:00] ircsloth (n=cswanson@blk-137-103-28.eastlink.ca) Quit ("Lost terminal")
[23:44:00] briand: Chutt: well, not a 'bug' per-se.. in that it's only reporting (as you intimated) what it has been told from the database. I did, indeed, previously record "ABC World News Tonight" and that show's original airdate is the same as tonight's...
[23:44:00] briand: ..but some analysis and clever coding can get around Tribune Media's lazy channel editors.. :)
[23:45:00] briand: (I can say that because I know them, personally ... well, not all of them, but quite a few of them)
[23:45:00] Pitchin_uk: at least i can do that through mythweb!!
[23:45:00] Chutt: naw, it'd be a bug if it's not joining the data properly
[23:45:00] juski_: Pitchin_uk: you can in 0.19 anyway ;)
[23:45:00] Beirdo: too bad xris isn't here to help decipher
[23:46:00] briand: Chutt: I'll check to make sure it isn't also affecting the scheduler, thus preventing recording subsequent showings...
[23:46:00] Pitchin_uk: how easy is it to upgrade??
[23:46:00] Beirdo: I get the fun of having 4 wisdom teeth yanked tomorrow
[23:46:00] Beirdo: YAY
[23:46:00] briand: yeowch.
[23:46:00] Ediehow: Beirdo: so how is harper?
[23:46:00] Beirdo: how should I know?
[23:47:00] briand: Beirdo: have they already done the x-rays? are they simple extractions, or do they need to do some fairly intensive oral surgery?
[23:47:00] Beirdo: heh, one of em will be a PAIN
[23:47:00] Beirdo: but we shall see
[23:47:00] briand: (ie: are they impacted wisdom teeth?)
[23:47:00] Beirdo: nah
[23:48:00] Beirdo: the best part: no dental insurance. :)
[23:48:00] briand: well, i wish you the best... there is -nothing- more debilitating than a toothache.
[23:48:00] Beirdo: sure there is
[23:48:00] briand: Beirdo: been there, done that. bled on the t-shirt.
[23:48:00] Beirdo: migraine
[23:48:00] briand: possibly linked. ;)
[23:48:00] Beirdo: true enough
[23:48:00] briand: i used to have migraines... how's your caffeine intake?
[23:48:00] Beirdo: so after noon tomorrow, I will likely be doped up for a while
[23:48:00] bmbler: Where is the pvr-150 firmware supposed to be located? (dmesg reports "ivtv0: unable to open firmware v4l-cx2341x-enc.fw")
[23:48:00] Beirdo: I get migraines occasionally.
[23:49:00] briand: i haven't had a migraine since I started drinking coffee regularly (at about 14 years of age)
[23:49:00] Beirdo: not recently, thankfully, all recent headaches have been directly stress related, or caffeine withdrawl
[23:49:00] juski_: cool – dvd playback works now, but the bottom few lines are the wrong colour.
[23:49:00] briand: and, as it turns out, caffeine pills are regularly prescribed for persistent migraine sufferers.
[23:49:00] Beirdo: my caffeine intake is too high
[23:49:00] Beirdo: heh
[23:50:00] briand: mine used to be... i might drink 10–15 cups of coffee per day, now.
[23:50:00] Beirdo: !?
[23:50:00] briand: ...used to be in the 50–60 cup range!
[23:50:00] Beirdo: holy crap
[23:50:00] Beirdo: my 2-carafe-a-day is down to 2-cups a day
[23:50:00] Beirdo: and it's still too much
[23:50:00] briand: and, no, before you ask.. I have -no- trouble sleeping.
[23:50:00] Beirdo: I can believe it
[23:50:00] Beirdo: kicking that habit will frigging hurt
[23:51:00] Beirdo: trust me
[23:51:00] briand: it just doesn't keep me awake.... conversely, it doesn't "wake me up" either.
[23:51:00] sphery: Chutt: Your response to the latest comment on #1024 is classic... lol.
[23:51:00] Beirdo: cutting it down to 2 cups a day or so will be a week of hell
[23:51:00] Beirdo: so bought lots of "nutritious" liquids like V8...
[23:52:00] bmbler: Where is the pvr-150 firmware supposed to be located? (dmesg reports "ivtv0: unable to open firmware v4l-cx2341x-enc.fw")

[23:54:00] Ediehow: ivtv
[23:54:00] xris: rjune: ?
[23:54:00] Beirdo: briand: high blood pressure
[23:54:00] briand: ah.
[23:54:00] bmbler: I think I have, and it appears to need to be in /lib/firmware/kernel-version/ or /lib/hotplug/firmware. I placed it in both and still get the same error.
[23:54:00] briand: yeah, that'd do it.
[23:54:00] Beirdo: and all round general health reasons
[23:54:00] rjune: xris: you were building RPMs for SVN myth right?
[23:54:00] xris: rjune: I do, yes
[23:54:00] Beirdo: being too addicted to caffeine isn't good for me. YMMV
[23:54:00] briand: Mine stays fairly regularly at 120/72, despite the caffeine.
[23:55:00] Beirdo: bastard
[23:55:00] Beirdo: my last was 140/100
[23:55:00] Beirdo: heh

[23:55:00] rjune: Beirdo: I was asked if I was dead
