[00:00:00] kormoc: unicorn___, or myth, I had my head stuck in mplayer world...
[00:00:00] xris: FunkyELF: ^^^
[00:00:00] FunkyELF: then its a pain to share those files with other people
[00:01:00] xris: FunkyELF: sharing is not the point of myth.. in fact, in the US, it's not even legal.
[00:01:00] galorin: Does anyone know about the mpeg2video ac-tex damaged at ..... errors that I keep getting, that make myvideo choppy?
[00:01:00] Jasper: hm what's differnce between amd geode and xp?
[00:01:00] FunkyELF: I thought that was the entire point of myth. If you wanted your stuff to stay on one machine I'd buy a tivo
[00:02:00] FunkyELF: there are legal things to share in the US
[00:02:00] kormoc: Jasper, a geode is A hollow or partly hollow, hard, globular body, usually from 2.5 to 30 cm or more in diameter found in certain limestone beds and, rarely, in some shale beds, characterized by a thin and sometimes incomplete outermost layer of chalcedony, by a cavity that is partly filled with a lining of inward-projecting crystals deposited from solution on the cavity walls, and by evidence of growth by expansion in the caviti
[00:02:00] kormoc: es of fossils or along fracture surfaces of the shells.
[00:02:00] FunkyELF: like news broadcasts and such....or am I wrong?
[00:02:00] unicorn___: hmm, mixer unable to find control Master.
[00:02:00] Juski: FunkyELF: I'll be damned if I'm giving DVDs to all & sundry cos they missed a show
[00:02:00] Jasper: sweet kormoc
[00:02:00] kormoc: Jasper, but in reality, it's just a low power version of the xp
[00:04:00] unicorn___: anyway, late gotta go
[00:04:00] unicorn___: later all
[00:04:00] Juski: lower wattage, or just lower grunt?
[00:04:00] Juski: later unicorn___
[00:04:00] kormoc: Juski, much lower wattage at a little lower grunt, at least that's the theory
[00:04:00] kormoc: Juski, but I havn't seen any benchmarks yet
[00:04:00] Juski: well, XPs could do with being less hot ;)
[00:05:00] Jasper: and the pro kormoc ?
[00:05:00] kormoc: Jasper, which pro?
[00:05:00] Jasper: athlon pro
[00:05:00] kormoc: ahh, not sure about that one
[00:05:00] kormoc: amd's site likely has a blurb about it
[00:06:00] FunkyELF: whats the difference between the 'recorded' and the 'recordedprogram' tables?...I mean, why are there two tables which seem to have the same info
[00:06:00] unicorn___ (n=thanosz@thanosz.logos.cy.net) Quit ("Leaving")
[00:08:00] Jasper: hmm would it be an idea to get a dual intel 800 mhz Juski ?
[00:08:00] Jasper: or is that a bad idea for myth?
[00:08:00] Juski: I thought you had no cash
[00:08:00] Jasper: I don't..
[00:08:00] Jasper: :P
[00:09:00] kormoc: Jasper, the pentium d 820 is a very nice proc for the price, as long as you don't want to do any virtual machines on it
[00:09:00] I8usc (n=I8usc@telly.kndr.org) has joined #mythtv-users
[00:09:00] kormoc: Juski, funny enough, the intel dual core 64 bit procs are substantionally cheaper then amd's offerings.
[00:10:00] Jasper: hmm
[00:10:00] Jasper: but I was thinking Juski I allready got this 800 mhz
[00:10:00] Jasper: and a 800 mhz is prolly cheap to get..
[00:10:00] beavis (n=beavis@p54A784F9.dip0.t-ipconnect.de) Quit (Remote closed the connection)
[00:11:00] kormoc: ooh! you mean actual proc speed and not fsb :P
[00:11:00] Jasper: men..I don't know the difference between that stuff..
[00:11:00] Jasper: only thing I know is my compilation times
[00:11:00] Jasper: :P
[00:11:00] kormoc: Jasper, sure, smp works fine with myth. Myth won't 'use' the second proc, but other things (mysql, comflag, etc) would benifit
[00:11:00] FunkyELF: does anyone know the difference between recorded and recordedprogram tables? is one a new table from 0.19 and the other left over from 0.18.1 ?
[00:12:00] Juski: recordedprogram is stuff you recorded in the past
[00:12:00] Jasper: hmm so kormoc...would mpeg2 decoding benefit from it?
[00:12:00] kormoc: FunkyELF, recorded is likely what's on your drive right now
[00:12:00] Juski: IIRC
[00:12:00] kormoc: Jasper, hrm. it would help as it would remove the need for mysql/other processes from using the proc myth is, but it won't help a lot
[00:13:00] riddlebox (n=james@24-171-11-166.dhcp.stls.mo.charter.com) has joined #mythtv-users
[00:13:00] sphery: FunkyELF: kind of...
[00:13:00] brando1 (n=brandon@blurry.skewedvision.com) has left #mythtv-users
[00:14:00] sphery: recorded shows what recordings you have on your system
[00:14:00] sphery: recordedprogram shows the information that was in the program title (program listings stuff) that was "expired"
[00:14:00] sphery: that way you can see all the details you had when you decided to record the show
[00:15:00] FunkyELF: okay
[00:15:00] sphery: recordedprogram is new in 0.19 (0.18 didn't store the extra details)
[00:15:00] FunkyELF: I'm wondering why in mythweb now it outlines programs that I don't have set up to record but I've recorded in the past
[00:15:00] galorin (n=mythtv@83.151.192.142) Quit ("Leaving")
[00:15:00] sphery: And, when you delete shows from recorded, the program info in recordedprogram is deleted, too.
[00:15:00] sphery: That's in oldrecorded
[00:15:00] FunkyELF: like if one time I recorded fox 35 news at 10....now every fox 35 news at 10 has a different boarder around it
[00:16:00] sphery: You can use the Previously Recorded page in mythfrontend to remove stuff from oldrecorded
[00:16:00] FunkyELF: sphery, cool, thanks
[00:16:00] sphery: heh. Fox 35--mine, too. You near Melbourne?
[00:16:00] FunkyELF: Orlando
[00:16:00] sphery: Just down the road... :)
[00:16:00] FunkyELF: cool
[00:17:00] FunkyELF: Bike Week next week ;-)
[00:17:00] sphery: Yeah. They're looking at finding a way to resolve things like news that have the same subtitle...
[00:17:00] sphery: Don't think anyone's come up with a good way to distinguish
[00:17:00] kormoc: sphery, don't they also check the description?
[00:17:00] sphery: (Some mentioned ignoring news, but that doesn't help other stuff)
[00:17:00] sphery: Yeah, but for the news, it's always the same...
[00:17:00] kormoc: ahh, gotcha
[00:18:00] I8usc (n=I8usc@telly.kndr.org) Quit ("leaving")
[00:18:00] sphery: guess I should have said, "subtitle and description"
[00:18:00] Jasper: you guys think it's possible to boot from a firewire/usb2.0 external harddisk?
[00:18:00] FunkyELF: yeah...I was ticked once because my brother called me and said "turn on the Daily Show....this is funny as hell" and I said "Don't worry about it, I record it every night".....and then it thought it was a duplicate and skipped it
[00:18:00] kormoc: Jasper, if your mobo supports it, sure
[00:18:00] kormoc: hrm
[00:18:00] Jasper: prolly not
[00:18:00] kormoc: that would be why I don't have any daily shows recorded
[00:19:00] Jasper: since firewire didn;t even exist when my motherboard was made
[00:19:00] Jasper: :P
[00:19:00] FunkyELF: Jasper, I just read an article about BIOS's regarding that. Aparently AwardBios is good about that and Phoenix isn't even tho they are from the same company
[00:19:00] kormoc: hence the awards!
[00:19:00] Jasper: but I don't have onboard firewire
[00:19:00] Jasper: and only usb 1.1 I think
[00:19:00] I8usc (n=I8usc@telly.kndr.org) has joined #mythtv-users
[00:19:00] Jasper: or 1.x
[00:19:00] Jasper: dunno what it's called
[00:20:00] kormoc: you can boot off of usb 1.1 or 1.0 if your bios supports it
[00:20:00] FunkyELF: Jasper, I think it was either on slashdot or osnews. Check them out
[00:20:00] kormoc: which reminds me, I want to make that usb stick I have into a emergency boot disk fixer uper too
[00:20:00] sphery: FunkyELF: http://www.theinquirer.net/?article=29963 :)
[00:21:00] Jasper: yeah kormoc..but it's just too slow I guess for an external disk
[00:21:00] I8usc: screen -t irc 3 irssi
[00:21:00] I8usc: that was brilliant
[00:22:00] FunkyELF: sphery, yeah, that was it
[00:22:00] FunkyELF: I heard this new EFI that is replacing bioses is supposed to be great. It will allow you to use your cd-rom / dvd-rom without turning on the computer

[00:26:00] kormoc: Funky|Away, it's not required to do that, my cheap-assed shuttle does that already :P
[00:26:00] kormoc: Funky|Away, what it allows for is DRM realistically

[00:29:00] achew22: hello all
[00:30:00] kormoc: Hello Dr. Nick!
[00:30:00] Funky|Away is now known as FunkyELF
[00:30:00] achew22: thats hi everybody (but good try)
[00:30:00] Jasper: hi achew22 (again)
[00:30:00] FunkyELF: So.....heres a good question about editing commercial flags.....
[00:30:00] Jasper: did you get it too work"?
[00:30:00] achew22: :D
[00:31:00] achew22: push e then z then e then x
[00:31:00] FunkyELF: what do you do when at the end of a show they have a little clip that is 3 to 5 seconds long ?
[00:31:00] FunkyELF: achew22, what does the x ?
[00:31:00] achew22: go to it then push enter go to delete after
[00:31:00] achew22: x transcodes
[00:31:00] FunkyELF: achew22, doesn't work....it always wants to move it because it is really close to the other one
[00:32:00] FunkyELF: you need two cut points that are 5 seconds apart from each other
[00:32:00] achew22: push up and down to make the scroll time different
[00:32:00] achew22: down is slower up is faster...
[00:32:00] ivor (n=ivor@kde/developer/ivor) Quit ("ZZZZZzzzzzzzzz......")
[00:32:00] FunkyELF: and it never lets me. It'll always want to move the nearest cutpoint to the spot
[00:32:00] achew22: max is 10 min is 1 frame you need to find a good number in the middle (1 sec)
[00:33:00] FunkyELF: achew22, I know....I go frames or keyframes.....that has nothing to do with it
[00:33:00] Jasper: achew22 does lirc work?
[00:33:00] FunkyELF: I get it to the right spot, but they are too close and myth won't let me put a cut point that close to an existing one
[00:33:00] achew22: not yet Jasper i'm getting there
[00:33:00] achew22: current problem is with xorg
[00:33:00] achew22: ooh maybe someone in here will know — how do you setup tvout through svideo on?
[00:33:00] achew22: nvidea card
[00:34:00] Jasper: ?
[00:34:00] Jasper: just put it on xorg.conf
[00:34:00] achew22: where? and how.... and how do I get it to output to vga too
[00:34:00] FunkyELF: achew22, that is not the problem....I go frame by frame and when I hit enter and the menu pops up, there is no option to delete after the frame or before the frame....it is always about moving the cutpoint to the current
[00:35:00] achew22: move the cutpoint then....
[00:35:00] LedHed is now known as Led-Hed-AFK
[00:35:00] Jasper: hmm achew22 aren't there preset lines which are #'ed in your config?
[00:35:00] Jasper: did you use nvidia-xconfig ?
[00:35:00] achew22: where is that?
[00:35:00] FunkyELF: achew22, no....I need to delete before 10:00 and after 10:03 for example
[00:36:00] achew22: whats in those 3 secconds?
[00:36:00] Jasper: hmm achew22 hang on
[00:36:00] FunkyELF: I create the cutpoint at 10 minutes, then I go to 10 minutes and 3 seconds, and hit enter....and it wants to move the 10:00 cut point to 10:03
[00:36:00] achew22: yeah what usefull content is 3 sec. long?
[00:36:00] FunkyELF: a little clip at the end of the show
[00:36:00] Juski: achew22: "TVOutFormat" "Composite" #or S-VIDEO etc
[00:36:00] Jasper: achew22 http://www.linuxhardware.org/article.pl?sid=01/05/29/2147241
[00:37:00] Juski: nice one Jasper
[00:37:00] Juski: you remembered :-)
[00:37:00] FunkyELF: it is very common.....if there is an episode where someone gets lost or left behind. they'll roll the credits and then show some commercials, then show a little 3 second clip of the guy saying "Guys, where are you?" and thats it
[00:37:00] FunkyELF: the show "the office" does it all the time
[00:38:00] Juski: what?!
[00:38:00] Juski: even more glad I don't live in the USA now
[00:38:00] Jasper: juski rememberd what?
[00:38:00] Jasper: :P
[00:38:00] FunkyELF: I think "My Name is Earl" does it too.....there is always a clip of them talking in bed
[00:39:00] FunkyELF: There has got to be a place in the code to change that tolerance and re-compile it

[00:42:00] Jasper: just exit it?
[00:42:00] Jasper: ctr-alt-backspace
[00:42:00] achew22: then...
[00:42:00] Octane: anyone here use SB Live! (original) with ALSA and Myth?
[00:44:00] achew22: Jasper, how do I start it with kde when its shutdown?

[00:46:00] Jasper: startx ?
[00:48:00] kormoc: achew22, and in the nvidia driver readme, they go over how to setup tv out
[00:48:00] kormoc: that's such a old howto
[00:48:00] Jasper: does it matter?
[00:48:00] Jasper: :P
[00:48:00] Jasper: if it works
[00:49:00] kormoc: it's just amsuing that it still is mostly correct :P
[00:49:00] Jasper: :p
[00:49:00] Jasper: oe
[00:49:00] Jasper: dell pc for 350 euro
[00:51:00] Jasper: damn
[00:51:00] Jasper: the guy reboots to restart x..
[00:53:00] xris: FunkyELF: in .19?
[00:54:00] FunkyELF: fozi in #mythtv said in svn you can insert a cutpoint regardless where the next cutpoint is
[00:55:00] xris: FunkyELF: pretty sure .19 works like that, too
[00:55:00] ** FunkyELF goes and tries it to be sure. **
[00:55:00] FunkyELF: I may not have tried it in .19
[00:56:00] bmk789: is there anything i should know when designing a distro around mythtv?
[00:56:00] Jasper: hmm
[00:56:00] Jasper: will a ATA disk be fast enough for mythtv?
[00:56:00] kormoc: bmk789, if you don't know already, there already is one, known as knoppmyth
[00:56:00] Jasper: with HD content?
[00:56:00] kormoc: Jasper, very likely
[00:56:00] kormoc: Jasper, htparm -t /dev/hdx to speed test the drive
[00:57:00] Jasper: yeah well I don't have the drive kormoc
[00:57:00] bmk789: ive read about knoppmyth but the distro i have in mine is different than any other
[00:57:00] Jasper: I need to go buy a new one...since mine crashed this night..
[00:57:00] bmk789: in mind*
[00:57:00] Jasper: :(
[00:57:00] Jasper: which is it then bmk789 ?
[00:57:00] Jasper: writing your own?
[00:57:00] bmk789: ya
[00:58:00] Jasper: ?
[00:58:00] FunkyELF: xris, nope...I still get the "you are close to an existing cutpoint" dialog box come up
[00:58:00] Jasper: seriously bmk789 ?
[00:58:00] Jasper: :p
[00:58:00] Kelerion: ok – thats neat... just tried it as a hunch... mencoder can convert the .bin file from a vcd too... thats pretty neat
[00:58:00] bmk789: planning on it

[00:58:00] Jasper: why bmk789 ?
[00:59:00] bmk789: my dream would be put microsoft outta business :p
[00:59:00] Jasper: good luck
[00:59:00] Jasper: :P
[00:59:00] kormoc: Jasper, it's not like there's a lot of distros out there ( http://www.rocklinux.org/wiki/Main_Page ) :P
[01:00:00] kormoc: bmk789, that sure is a dream, but what makes your distro unique?
[01:00:00] bmk789: easy as a mac, with clustering capabilities and a VRAID system im designing
[01:00:00] kormoc: bmk789, uh huh. And how are you going to do this?
[01:01:00] bmk789: make it my lifes work
[01:01:00] Jasper: lol
[01:01:00] Jasper: I taste some sarcasm..
[01:01:00] Jasper: :P
[01:01:00] FunkyELF: will it be done before the broadcast flag?
[01:01:00] Jasper: bmk789 how old are you:?
[01:01:00] kormoc: that's a lot of code to write :P
[01:02:00] bmk789: 14 but i learn fast
[01:02:00] Jasper: ah
[01:02:00] Jasper: k
[01:02:00] Jasper: ..
[01:02:00] Jasper: :P
[01:02:00] Octane: noone here uses sblive with 5 speaker setup?
[01:02:00] kormoc: ahh, youth.. the young idealism before the crushing wieight of apathy...
[01:02:00] FunkyELF: Octane, I used to....in Windows tho : /
[01:02:00] Octane: doh!
[01:02:00] Kelerion: I used to too
[01:03:00] kormoc: Octane, http://www.linuxforums.org/forum/gaming-games . . . ts-alsa.html
[01:03:00] Jasper: bmk789 what operating system are you using right now?
[01:03:00] bmk789: gentoo
[01:03:00] kormoc: Octane, you'd need to modify it a bit but it can help you on the right track
[01:03:00] bmk789: installed it right first try :)
[01:03:00] Octane: kormoc ill check it out, good looking out
[01:04:00] Jasper: congrats bmk789
[01:04:00] Jasper: so did I ..
[01:04:00] FunkyELF: bmk789, if you want one that is as easy as mac....I think you can run Myth natively on a mac. Why don't you get some capture cards working with it?
[01:04:00] kormoc: Yay for people who can read! :)
[01:04:00] Jasper: the manual is written nicely
[01:04:00] FunkyELF: ...right now it is only the frontend that runs on a mac right?
[01:04:00] xris: FunkyELF: just the frontend
[01:04:00] Kelerion: well.. gotta give him credit.. gentoo isn't the easiest distro to install for anyone
[01:04:00] Jasper: Kelerion even I got it running first time..
[01:04:00] ** FunkyELF is on gentoo **
[01:04:00] kormoc: FunkyELF, the backend in theory work run fine, just no need to check, as there's no capture card drivers yet
[01:05:00] Kelerion: I didn't say it was hard – I said it wasn't the easiest
[01:05:00] Jasper: :p
[01:05:00] kormoc: Kelerion, I agree, most of the people who try just can't read, hence my joy at people who can!
[01:05:00] Jasper: but the manual of gentoo is really good..compared to some others..
[01:05:00] FunkyELF: i want to try the new graphical installer for gentoo
[01:05:00] Jasper: although I have to say...you get more help from debian users then gentoo users..
[01:05:00] Jasper: :P
[01:05:00] Kelerion: it *is* one of the best written documentation project I've seen for any project
[01:06:00] kormoc: which new one? the one from 2002? 2003? 2004? 2005? 2006? 2023? :P
[01:06:00] FunkyELF: American Idol Time ! ! !
[01:06:00] Jasper: lol
[01:06:00] FunkyELF is now known as Funky|Idol
[01:06:00] Kelerion: I don't use gentoo.. but I regularly visit the docs site because the info from there is pretty usable for other distros
[01:06:00] kormoc: 99.9% of all gentoo problems can be fixed by reading the manual, forums, or bugzilla
[01:06:00] bmk789: yep
[01:07:00] riddlebox (n=james@24-171-11-166.dhcp.stls.mo.charter.com) Quit ("Leaving")
[01:07:00] Jasper: is it gonna be graphical like windows bmk789 ?
[01:07:00] kormoc: would have to be, to be easy as a mac

[01:09:00] bmk789: cool thx
[01:09:00] kormoc: bmk789, and I'd recommend you get qemu to test on. Having a virtual machine lock up is way better then your real one, yet alone all the reboots
[01:10:00] bmk789: ya
[01:10:00] Jasper: omg no..
[01:10:00] Jasper: that looks like stuff I once learned at college
[01:10:00] Jasper: :P
[01:10:00] kormoc: yay for ASM!
[01:12:00] Jasper: how long would it take to write your own system...
[01:12:00] Jasper: on your own..
[01:12:00] Kelerion: Jasper, I was thinking the same thing... I thought I'd seen the last of that...
[01:13:00] Jasper: like only 1 year to get all your hardware running maybe..
[01:13:00] kormoc: Jasper, took me a weekend to have my own 'os' boot and display suff in svga modes
[01:13:00] Jasper: oh that aint too bad
[01:13:00] kormoc: Jasper, and that satafied my taste in os development :)
[01:13:00] Jasper: ;p
[01:14:00] Jasper: I can imagine
[01:14:00] Jasper: I never liked it either
[01:14:00] Jasper: had to write software for these program boards

[01:16:00] Jasper: why make it linux based
[01:16:00] Jasper: just write it all from scratch
[01:16:00] Jasper: :P
[01:16:00] kormoc: bmk789, so how are you gonna make linux so user friendly?
[01:17:00] Jasper: kormoc if linux would have ever been user friendly....ms would be bankrupt
[01:17:00] Jasper: it will never be user friendly I guess..
[01:17:00] kormoc: heh, it's getting much much better
[01:17:00] Jasper: but making it user friendly means loosing control..
[01:17:00] Jasper: I guess..
[01:17:00] kormoc: not at all, it's all about balance
[01:18:00] Jasper: yeah but that's very delicate...between getting a blue screen...or actually having logs too look in..
[01:18:00] Jasper: :P
[01:18:00] bmk789: im thinking of just making it debian based
[01:18:00] Kelerion: ubuntu is on the right track... damn easy to use.. but still has the power
[01:19:00] kormoc: stable, non bleeding edge hardware tends to just 'work' after some configuration with newer distros, they boot up and give you ready to go.
[01:19:00] Jasper: hmm bmk789 you're giving in a lot?
[01:20:00] kormoc: bmk789, sure, but how are you going to make it so user friendly? Are you going to use xwindows? write your own?
[01:20:00] bmk789: kde
[01:20:00] kormoc: bmk789, so again, how are you going to make kde so user friendly?
[01:20:00] kormoc: bmk789, a lot of os x's stuff just can not be done with how xwindows arch is today.
[01:21:00] Mersault: ubuntu is the best distro for a desktop system I've seen in a long time. I gave up on desktop linux about a little over a year ago and got a mac, but I recently tried ubuntu for mythtv, and I've got to say, I could use it if I didn't have my mac

[01:22:00] ** kormoc chuckles **
[01:22:00] kormoc: bmk789, your goals are going quite the bit down. So then, why would people use your distro? what makes it special that other distros can't have?
[01:22:00] bmk789: im not as focused on user-friendlyness as much as this VRIAD
[01:23:00] kormoc: VRIAD?

[01:23:00] bmk789: the idea is for multiple nodes running it will create i virtual pc between themselves and each PC would be a terminal to that virtual machine
[01:24:00] kormoc: hrm
[01:24:00] kormoc: so sort of like xwindows?
[01:24:00] bmk789: so you can have a media center in your living room and setup a recording, then go to your bedroom later and watch that recording from another PC
[01:24:00] kormoc: ahh
[01:24:00] kormoc: so you're gonna write a myth clone
[01:24:00] ** Kelerion just smiles **
[01:25:00] bmk789: ok then, im crazy
[01:25:00] kormoc: hehe, not at all :P
[01:25:00] Jasper: hmm
[01:25:00] xris: will be even easier once myth gets zeroconf hooked up.
[01:25:00] Jasper: bmk789 what happend to writing a new distro?
[01:25:00] Kelerion: is that planned?
[01:25:00] xris: turn on the machine, or even just boot from a usb disk, and instant frontend
[01:26:00] Jasper: you're just gonna use existing stuff...it would be exciting if you made it all yourself
[01:26:00] Jasper: :P
[01:26:00] bmk789: i didnt say writing
[01:26:00] xris: Kelerion: at some point in the future, yes.
[01:26:00] Kelerion: cool
[01:26:00] xris: lxm was supposed to help with it, but they didn't fare so well $$$-wise.
[01:26:00] kormoc: they disappeared *really* *really* fast
[01:26:00] kormoc: they opened their doors for like, one month iirc
[01:26:00] xris: kormoc: nah, was at least 6 months
[01:26:00] kormoc: ahh, my, how times flys
[01:27:00] Jasper: yeah I'm gonna write a OS tomorrow
[01:27:00] xris: I just wonder if the company behind them is still around... the one building hardware.
[01:27:00] Jasper: it's so much fun being unemployed...all this spare time..
[01:27:00] Jasper: :p
[01:27:00] xris: Jasper: man, I've been getting barraged by recruiters for weeks now.
[01:27:00] kormoc: Jasper, stop taking showers and start writing utilities and you can be the next RMS!
[01:28:00] xris: and I don't need/want a new job.
[01:28:00] Jasper: for what xris?
[01:28:00] Jasper: what kinda job?
[01:28:00] Jasper: RMS kormoc?
[01:28:00] xris: Jasper: perl/php/database stuff, mostly
[01:28:00] xris: Jasper: stalman
[01:28:00] bmk789: mythtv has a built-in transcode frontend correct?
[01:28:00] Jasper: I never finished college for that..
[01:28:00] Jasper: only did 2 of the 4 years :P
[01:28:00] xris: bmk789: for some stuff, yes
[01:29:00] xris: Jasper: I never did any school for that.. but it paid my way through school for other things.
[01:29:00] Jasper: I only made some money writing php/mysql stufff
[01:30:00] kormoc: xris, i'd say Technovera is poofed as well, as their domain was the same as LXM
[01:31:00] xris: kormoc: they never activated the domain, though
[01:31:00] xris: they wanted to stay secret
[01:31:00] xris: it's unfortunate, though
[01:31:00] kormoc: amusing
[01:31:00] kormoc: so how did you get the theme they did?
[01:32:00] xris: me? I had an acct
[01:32:00] xris: they've released the themes to the mythtv community now, though.
[01:32:00] kormoc: hrm, but had to access it via a ip address?
[01:33:00] xris: someone is supposed to be updating them and putting them into the myth source, or at least make them available for download
[01:35:00] Jasper: hmm
[01:35:00] Jasper: sohuld i make it linux based..
[01:35:00] Jasper: or just totaly from scratch..
[01:35:00] Jasper: :P
[01:35:00] kormoc: Jasper, go from scratch!
[01:36:00] Jasper: must be so hard..
[01:36:00] kormoc: Jasper, we'll see you in a few months when you got a irc app written for it :P
[01:36:00] Jasper: well kormoc..that WOULD be really sweet though
[01:36:00] Jasper: meaning I got a network device working

[02:38:00] xpis: Kelerion: that is directly from a mythtv recording. It happens very sporadically on certain recordings, and I can't reproduce it.
[02:39:00] Kelerion: grounding maybe?
[02:39:00] xpis: btw, I'm not xris.
[02:39:00] Kelerion: oops
[02:40:00] xpis: We are two different people.
[02:40:00] Kelerion: yeah.. I know that.. I just read it wrong
[02:40:00] Kelerion: it's 2:40am
[02:40:00] xpis: Since it is certain recordings only, and for the entire recording, I am convinced it is not a hardware issue.
[02:42:00] Kelerion: don't know then.. not experienced anything like that myself
[02:42:00] xpis: It could be technically be a sound card issue, but this is a C-Media chipset that is fairly rock solid.

[02:44:00] xpis: Hm.. since it takes exactly 1.6 seconds to start, it could be a buffer problem.

[02:44:00] xpis: Let me get a sample count...
[02:46:00] xpis: Almost exactly 65535 samples.
[02:46:00] xpis: Hardware/analog issue? I think not.
[02:47:00] Kelerion: yeah... 64k... unlikely hardware then
[02:48:00] Kelerion: no idea then.. sound card issues/debugging is outta my league
[02:50:00] xpis: Actually, it was set to 48000 samples/second, so it is higher than that, and not exactly 64kis (bitwise kilosamples)
[02:52:00] xpis: Do you have mythtv using the alsa interface directly, or using the oss/dsp emulation?
[02:52:00] Kelerion: alsa
[02:53:00] xpis: And how many recordings do you do?
[02:53:00] Kelerion: about 15 hours a day
[02:54:00] xpis: That's way more than me... so you would have noticed any problems most likely.
[02:55:00] xpis: I am using the OSS sound devices, so perhaps it's an alsa DSP emulation buffer problem.

[02:58:00] xpis: xris: not being reproducible doesn't help things.

[03:00:00] xpis: Kelerion: As I said, it's not reproducible. It's happened twice, and it lasts for the length of the one recording, nothing more.

[03:02:00] xpis: xris: basically, somehow samples are being added to one another, creating a very annoying effect. But it doesn't happen until sample 73728.
[03:02:00] xris: weird
[03:03:00] xpis: that mp3 file is a 13 second clip from the beginning of one of the affected recordings. As I said, this has happened on two recordings out of more than a hundred.
[03:06:00] xpis: (it's a straight dump from mplayer of the affected nupplevideo file)
[03:08:00] xpis: I think this is a lame issue. I can create a very similar effect by lowering the bitrate to around 48kbps.

[04:10:00] Krazylegz: ServerSag: Care to elaborate?
[04:11:00] rtsai: ServerSag: I use mythmusic all the time with no problem (about 1800 MP3s)
[04:12:00] ServerSag: Krazylegz – Sure. I'll start with it hanging. If I'm listening to music, and I pause. Then press 3 to edit my list, change my list around, and hit escape to play the new list, it hangs. I'm running 0.19, Gentoo on an AMD64, an NVidia 6600 video card, and a hauppauge 350. This system is only a frontend.

[04:14:00] a1fa: i wonder if i cen combine them into one
[04:15:00] Krazylegz: ServerSag: My MythMusic hangs sometimes, but it's due to the visualizations. I'm on .18.
[04:15:00] Krazylegz: ServerSag: So, different issue.
[04:16:00] rtsai: fozi: yes, OTA HDTV (USA)
[04:16:00] rtsai: fozi: there's no way to profile mythbackend. The "--compile-type=profile" is not a gprof kind of profiling; it's for something else unrelated
[04:16:00] ServerSag: Krazylegz – that is what I believe my second problem is related to. mythmusic causing mythtv to crash. It only happens when visuals are full screen and when the song is changing.

[04:20:00] fozi: rtsai: kind of kcachegrind does only visualization, callgrind is a valgrind frontend and generates the data

[05:48:00] Achew22: or does it do it auto
[05:48:00] kormoc: if it supports Digital Power Management System (dpms) it does

[05:51:00] Achew22: yep — its turned on then
[05:51:00] Achew22: maybe it was my old box that screenblanked...
[05:52:00] dev-: ive never tried dpms with my tv so dunno if there's something special you need to do
[05:52:00] dev-: its not plasma/lcd and the tv is not left on the menu screen for hours at a time so im not worried about it ;)
[05:52:00] Achew22: dev- its worse — rear projection
[05:53:00] dev-: ah, yeah, should have it blank after 10–15minutes probably

[05:55:00] Achew22: hrm...
[05:55:00] Achew22: how do I go about that?
[05:56:00] dev-: xscreensaver, just configure the power management options and leave the little grpahical things turned off

[08:23:00] Calroth: do you have permissions to the device?

[08:40:00] ma123: ok
[08:41:00] kormoc: ma123, and uhh
[08:41:00] kormoc: ma123, you missed the last e on hauppauge
[08:41:00] kormoc: hence why the driver didn't build I'd venture to guess
[08:41:00] kormoc: oh, nm
[08:41:00] kormoc: I just misread it
[08:41:00] ma123: lirc_dev.ko and lirc_i2c.ko as drivers and lirc and lircd in /dev
[08:42:00] kormoc: http://www.lirc.org/html/table.html
[08:42:00] kormoc: according to that, you don't need a third driver, oddly enough
[08:43:00] ma123: ok
[08:43:00] Calroth: with the hauppauge cards, i think the hauppauge driver itself implements the remote control
[08:43:00] Calroth: and sends it as keyboard events to the OS
[08:43:00] Calroth: and lirc is just a wrapper for that
[08:43:00] ma123: ok
[08:43:00] Calroth: but I dunno for sure, maybe someone with a PVR-350 can say for sure :-)
[08:43:00] ma123: but it still does not work :(
[08:44:00] Calroth: sorry

[08:45:00] Calroth: just putting numbers to the console
[08:46:00] ma123: hmm that i have not tried
[08:46:00] ma123: how would you test that?
[08:46:00] Calroth: do "rmmod" on the lirc modules, and just try hitting buttons on the remote?
[08:50:00] ma123: nothing happens
[08:51:00] Calroth: strange
[08:52:00] Calroth: the card itself works fine though, right?

[10:09:00] rf: for a seasoned mythtv junkie: I have used linux for over 10 years. I currently use debian for servers. I have a tivo. I feel a little lazy. Am I better off (being new to mythtv) installing debian and going from there or using another dist like knoppmyth?
[10:09:00] stuarta: use debian, works a treat for me
[10:09:00] rf: tivo comment only there in case the advice is to stick with a tivo :-)
[10:10:00] phar0e: where's the fun in that?
[10:10:00] rf: yeah, thinking that might be the go.
[10:10:00] Calroth: debian is fun
[10:10:00] Juski: where's the sense in having a tivo if you're a seasoned linux-head ?
[10:10:00] rf: to be honest I've tried knoppmyth twice and am finding it's attempts at 'user friendlyness' going against it as it really isnt that helpful or automatic at all for me...
[10:11:00] stuarta: so you can try & put linux on it?
[10:11:00] rf: Juski: Wife.
[10:11:00] Calroth: you know linux, so some advice everyone says: get all your components working outside of myth before starting on myth :-)
[10:11:00] Juski: rf: I have a wife too. she lovees mythtv
[10:11:00] rf: Juski: which is why I'm trying mythtv now :-). I expect it will do most wonderful things that the tivo can't.
[10:12:00] Calroth: the differences between distros don't go away when using myth... so use whatever distro you know and love
[10:12:00] Juski: there are better apps from my point of view for live tv, but I don't care about livetv
[10:12:00] stuarta: stuff I want to watch is on when I have better things to do.
[10:13:00] Juski: same here ;)
[10:13:00] rf: I want it to record tv, do season passes, get tv guide data primarily (like the tivo). However, outputting at greater than SDTV, and being able to play media files (h.264, divx, etc) are bonuses
[10:13:00] Juski: outputting SDTV @ higher resolution is futile
[10:13:00] rf: ok. debian it is.

[10:16:00] stuarta: it's a lot easier than it was.
[10:16:00] rf: i'm assuming myth requires X?
[10:17:00] Calroth: pretty much, yes
[10:18:00] Calroth: there are probably some ways you can run mythfrontend without it, but x.org is the way to go
[10:18:00] Juski: rf: not quite, but it's a royal PITA to get working with directFB. and chances are you'll need good acceleration, so it's best to go with X
[10:18:00] rf: x it is.
[10:20:00] Juski: you don't need Gnome or KDE though. lots of people prefer lightweight WMs
[10:21:00] rf: yeah. if I use kde/gnome it'll probably be just for installation and be removed once it works right. will probably use icewm or something I suspect otherwise.

[11:18:00] stuarta: sadly 9227 is broken, 9228 has the first part of eit caching :(
[11:18:00] gbee: aye .. was looking forward to that
[11:19:00] Juski: how come DVB keeps getting broken?
[11:19:00] stuarta: daniel is in ATSC land...
[11:19:00] stuarta: limits his testing.
[11:19:00] Juski: new recorder class needed? so you can have one for ATSC, one for 'proper' DVB ?
[11:20:00] ** stuarta scratches head **
[11:21:00] stuarta: gbee: 9224 touches all the vital areas for dvb
[11:21:00] galorin: Juski, I've just done a svn checkout and built from that. On .19 I got that same behavior
[11:22:00] fozi: yes and 9224 breaks badly
[11:22:00] stuarta: galorin: suggest you test svn no later than 9223.
[11:22:00] fozi: 9223 is working
[11:22:00] gbee: stuarta: I bow to your superior knowledge of things DVB
[11:23:00] stuarta: only learnt from trying to understand the old siparser.... :0

[12:55:00] stuarta: I know about filmfour
[12:55:00] Juski: gbee: when they switch analogue off, the old analogue space goes to the highest bidder

[14:02:00] STemplar_: I want to do that with the commandline
[14:02:00] Juski: should be easy enough to do with a bit of PERL

[14:04:00] Juski: STemplar_: first step would be to parse the .conf file for the different muxes, then write the data into dtv_multiplex rows. Then, referencing said table, make entries in the channel table accordingly
[14:04:00] galorin: I'm sure I built the plugins after, but what the heck, just takes a few minutes to re-do the plugins.
[14:04:00] STemplar_: ok gonna check it out no
[14:04:00] STemplar_: w
[14:05:00] STemplar_: I read that there was an old perl script that did all this
[14:06:00] galorin: Oh, minor annoyance. I've got a couple channels that the scanner hasn't picked up, so I've used the import channels.conf to get 'em in, but I'm not picking up any EIT data for them, even after telling it to in the channel editor
[14:06:00] Juski: STemplar_: there sure was
[14:07:00] Juski: galorin: the mux the channels you're not getting data for may have incomplete data in dtv_multiplex
[14:07:00] STemplar_: Juski: do you know where I can find it? that would make it a lot easier ;)
[14:08:00] Juski: galorin: I found that without networkid & another column, EIT scanning didn't for every mux
[14:09:00] galorin: yep Iv'e got missing data for some of the MUXes. How do I get ahold of this data?
[14:10:00] Juski: galorin: networkid should be the same for all the muxes AFAIK
[14:10:00] stuarta: rescanning will update the database.

[15:22:00] stuarta: s'pose that's better than a positioner

[15:24:00] Juski: not counting the beeb's testing
[15:24:00] Dibblah: There's only 5 non-FTAs broadcasting at the moment on the sats I have access to.
[15:24:00] Dibblah: But they're DVB-S2 :(
[15:24:00] stuarta: only 5 crypted channels?
[15:24:00] Juski: what's DVB-S2 ?

[15:44:00] Juski: someone reckoned they could play 720p with a 1Ghz CPU & xvmc yesterday
[15:45:00] sphing: 1ghz cpu isnt very descriptive
[15:45:00] dev: lol
[15:45:00] Juski: seen reports that 2400 athlons can play 1080i with xvmc enabled. dunno what or who to believe
[15:45:00] dev: i dunno if it matters what cpu it is with a 1ghz clockrate, you're not playing hd hehe
[15:47:00] Juski: I think Via EPIA could prolly play 720p with its onboard mpeg2 decoder, if the decoder could handle it
[15:47:00] sphing: Juski: i'm still confused as to where people get the content... with the exception of firewire, how else can you record hd?
[15:47:00] dev: yeah? you think? hrm i should try it heh

[15:50:00] sphing: i'm stuck there

[15:51:00] rtsai: sphing: not really. You still get a good picture and widescreen-aspect-ratio content
[15:51:00] Jasper: even if I'm not gonna use it..

[15:51:00] rtsai: and 5.1 audio

[17:19:00] sphing: the reason I ask is youre dealing with a medium thats R/W and can be easily and quickly removed... so you need to take measures to prevent a removal during certain FS operations
[17:19:00] sphing: but I guess its no different thatn a power off
[17:20:00] Jasper^off: ah I see phing
[17:20:00] Jasper^off: but I was just thinking how easy it would be if stores sold distro's on usb key...fully installed
[17:21:00] sphing: yea it would be nice... but theres some limitations on them, something like 100,000 writes?
[17:21:00] Jasper^off: huh?
[17:21:00] Jasper^off: seriously?
[17:21:00] Jasper^off: never knew that
[17:21:00] sphing: on usb sticks... yea i've heard that... never personally seen it so it could be a myth but its definately resonable
[17:22:00] sphing: so your OS should minimize writes to avoid that from happening

[17:23:00] AranC23: like in 0.19 that is
[17:23:00] Jasper^off: well sphing...I wanted to store all the files on the harddisk..just the usb stick for the os...
[17:23:00] sphing: ahh... I see what you're saying...
[17:23:00] Jasper^off: and make a register on the second partition of the usb stick
[17:23:00] Jasper^off: so you never have to format the windows partition/reinstall
[17:24:00] sphing: still minimize writes to the stick
[17:24:00] Jasper^off: just plugin the usb stick and be operating on your own system..
[17:24:00] Jasper^off: and take the usb stick with you too your work...and you are still on your own system
[17:24:00] Jasper^off: so it has to be working with all hardware
[17:24:00] GreyFoxx: I have a couple linux stations that do that
[17:24:00] scopeuk: hack off the sys admins big time
[17:24:00] scopeuk: they dont like knoppix either
[17:24:00] sphing: Jasper^off: but if the apps are installed on the hd, not much will work
[17:25:00] Jasper^off: that's something I have to think about sphing :P
[17:25:00] Jasper^off: since you don't want your games..
[17:25:00] Jasper^off: but you might want your other files
[17:25:00] Jasper^off: like documents
[17:26:00] sphing: so you might need to build a file onto the HD that tells where everything is isntalled
[17:26:00] sphing: (but that opens a pandoras box of security)
[17:26:00] Kelerion: and sounds suspiciously like a windows registry
[17:26:00] sphing: lol... yea it does

[17:27:00] AranC23: If I want to keep all my currently scheduled jobs from running temporarily, can I just update the jobqueue table and set them all to PAUSED, or I do I need to set the cmds field to PAUSE and let the schedule do something? anyone know off hand?
[17:27:00] Jasper^off: sphing...the registery would be on the second partition of the usb stick
[17:28:00] sphing: Jasper^off: but that would require all the programs to be installed in the same place across all the machines
[17:28:00] Jasper^off: hmm ...you're right
[17:28:00] Jasper^off: so the only solution is putting a registery on the harddisk
[17:28:00] sphing: Jasper^off: but dont make it a regular file
[17:28:00] scopeuk: couldyou not have it plug the windows registery asuming the host box will be windows
[17:28:00] Jasper^off: no windows..
[17:29:00] scopeuk: ok
[17:29:00] Jasper^off: it's all just a wild idea
[17:29:00] Jasper^off: but I thought it would be fun to try
[17:29:00] sphing: Jasper^off: if you make it a non-regular file, then it forces the programs to do a syscall to register a program and adds a little more security

[17:30:00] Jasper^off: :P
[17:30:00] Jasper^off: so it will need a lot of drivers
[17:30:00] sphing: well of course

[17:52:00] scottder: I have two from today like that....odd...
[17:54:00] scottder: maybe because the recordings were scheduled pre-0.19...no worries...
[17:54:00] scottder: they play fine, that's what matters....was just curious

[22:14:00] aquatic0384: ok well
[22:15:00] aquatic0384: i am following a tutorial, and i have done all that they say however once i try to add mythbackend to start upon login, it will not let me
[22:15:00] aquatic0384: frontend works
[22:15:00] aquatic0384: tutorial is http://www.abarbaccia.com/content/view/17/29/

[22:19:00] aquatic0384: i am not really sure

[22:19:00] aquatic0384: again i am very new with linux

[22:19:00] Puke2: Hi
[22:19:00] aquatic0384: and he has tried to help
[22:19:00] aquatic0384: but hasnt setup his mythtv yet
[22:20:00] aquatic0384: so he doesnt know
[22:21:00] xris: aquatic0384: did you use packages?
[22:21:00] Puke2: What might be a reason that channel names are appearing as "Channel 10" etc. instead of their actual names?

[22:22:00] xris: and I think there's a setting somewhere in the frontend for that... "use name instead of number" or something like that.
[22:22:00] aquatic0384: umm yeah i think so, the tutorial said that myth comes with packages, but he couldnt get the backend to work so he just did that other comand

[22:24:00] aquatic0384: i think so i just used apt-get to get all the files
[22:25:00] xris: hmm, it's still .18.1. lame
[22:25:00] xris: let me install it here and see what it says
[22:25:00] aquatic0384: ok
[22:26:00] Puke2: Xris: the actual names are the numbers (weird)
[22:27:00] xris: aquatic0384: when I apt-get install mythtv, it walks me through the setup for the init.d stuff. did it do that for you?
[22:27:00] xris: Puke2: strange
[22:27:00] aquatic0384: yeah
[22:27:00] aquatic0384: i went through that stuff
[22:27:00] aquatic0384: should i re-install it?
[22:27:00] xris: then that "tee" command you ran wiped out the correct startup script
[22:28:00] xris: I would apt-get remove mythtv, and rm /etc/init.d/mythbackend
[22:28:00] Puke2: Anyone have any ideas for the above issue?
[22:29:00] xris: and then look around for somewhere that has packages for mythtv .19, since it's much nicer than .18
[22:29:00] aquatic0384: ok
[22:29:00] aquatic0384: then
[22:30:00] aquatic0384: i will do that however
[22:30:00] aquatic0384: once mythtv is running, just the frontend
[22:30:00] aquatic0384: i cannot quit it without logging off
[22:32:00] aquatic0384: esc logs me off
[22:34:00] rsquared: yeah.. my menus fly on my box w/.19

[22:35:00] Puke2: What distro?
[22:35:00] aquatic0384: i suppose that once i do that i can uninstall the myth stuff and then get the .19
[22:35:00] aquatic0384: ubuntu
[22:35:00] aquatic0384: breezy
[22:36:00] Puke2: I have no idea, i suggest fedora
[22:36:00] aquatic0384: haha

[22:36:00] Puke2: Perfect working tutorial
[22:37:00] Puke2: Except for my channel problem ;)
[22:37:00] aquatic0384: yeah but i dont want to start all over
[22:37:00] bird603568: pfft use SLS
[22:37:00] aquatic0384: takes to long
[22:37:00] bird603568: ;)
[22:37:00] bird603568: or LFS
