[00:16:31] a1fa: Juski: want the url? :
[00:16:41] Juski: monolith: edit the .htaccess file in the root of your mythweb directory
[00:16:43] monolith: im trying to allow override for the .htaccess file but it doesn't seem to be working, and i dont know how to enable the mod_* in ubuntu
[00:16:58] monolith: Juski, i did that – changed the password and login for the database
[00:17:07] a1fa: monolith : it should be enabled by default
[00:17:11] Juski: a1fa: there's a URL for xbmc now?
[00:17:18] a1fa: ftp site
[00:17:40] Kabutor: how can I watch DVB-s video with mplayer?
[00:18:04] monolith: a1fa, thats what i had thought – but it doesnt seem to want to work...
[00:18:24] a1fa: check your apache error
[00:18:26] monolith: wait
[00:18:45] monolith: i think i was doing something stupid – i didnt run mythfildatabase maybe since the DB wasnt populated i was getting errors...

[00:20:47] roger55: Kabutor, mplayer -ao alsa -cache 8192 -vo xv -vf pp=lb – < /dev/dvb/adapter0/dvr0
[00:21:18] roger55: Kabutor, and you set the channel via 'szap -r arte' for example
[00:21:37] Kabutor: Im setting them via szap, but mplayer refuses to work
[00:21:49] roger55: Kabutor, szap -r ?
[00:21:54] Kabutor: ATM its filling cache (0,00% thoug=)
[00:22:11] monolith: alright – that didnt work as planned – anybody else try setting up the new mythweb on ubuntu?
[00:22:13] Kabutor: - r ?
[00:22:15] BCVisin: where can I find a list of supported video capture cards or tv tuner cards?
[00:22:26] roger55: Kabutor, yes. szap -r channelname
[00:23:04] Kabutor: ok roger55 prepare to have sex :D
[00:23:14] Kabutor: what is the -r for?
[00:23:38] roger55: -r  : set up /dev/dvb/adapterX/dvr0 for TS recording
[00:24:00] Kabutor: I see.. that did the trick..
[00:24:01] roger55: Kabutor, does mythtv work for you or not?
[00:24:37] Kabutor: yes, In my box plugged to the tv, but now Im testing another card in another computer :)
[00:24:46] roger55: Kabutor, because mplayer works here, but mythtv refuses to show me any video.
[00:26:01] roger55: http://rafb.net/paste/results/MdIm6J16.html if someone's interested.
[00:26:09] Kabutor: no idea atm, I have a very poor bt848 in the mythtv atm

[00:27:16] roger55: it's a wintv-nova se2 plus and the gfx card is an nvidia 6200 with the 1.0.8178-r3 drivers
[00:27:37] roger55: Kabutor, yes with the command above.
[00:28:07] Kabutor: maybe mythtv works with /dev/video0 ?
[00:30:11] roger55: Kabutor, oh does it?
[00:30:29] roger55: Kabutor, did you have your dvb-s card in use with mythtv?
[00:30:38] Kabutor: nomego, I have bt848
[00:30:52] Kabutor: I plan on moving this dvb-s later
[00:31:14] Kabutor: I cant touch the mythtv or my girlfriend killsme
[00:31:25] Kabutor: so I have to test in another pc
[00:31:52] Kabutor: roger55, you exec the myth-setuo right?
[00:31:59] roger55: many times.
[00:32:13] Kabutor: I think you have a similar problem as I have here
[00:32:22] Kabutor: if I do that command in mplayer it works fine
[00:32:25] roger55: I must have gotten lost somewhere getting thedamn card to work at all.
[00:32:43] Kabutor: but If i replace dvb/adapter0/... for /dev/video0 it doesnt work
[00:33:22] Kabutor: and dont know how to know what device is /dev/video0
[00:33:35] Kabutor: its symlinking /dev/v4l/video0 here
[00:34:18] roger55: Kabutor, I guess that is the svideo in port of my card

[00:56:17] defi_: theyre used to be at least in 0.18 seperate dir's for livetv and recordings
[00:56:30] defi_: now I guess its just recordings
[00:57:01] defi_: seeing as theyre is only one dir option in mythtv-setup
[00:57:12] Kelerion: livetv *is* just a recording now
[00:57:19] a1fa: Run the mythtvmain.py script and go into the Settings screen to specify your
[00:57:21] a1fa: connection details and paths.
[00:57:24] a1fa: i am gonna go try this
[00:57:45] Juski: a1fa: yes.. run the mythtvmain.py script. hmm.. great idea.... run run run run you bastard
[00:57:56] defi_: Kelerion so simple yet so hard to understand...lol
[00:57:59] Kelerion: whats the script do?
[00:58:17] a1fa: Juski : it works for me dude
[00:58:50] defi_: Guess i can rip that old 6GB hard drive i was using for livetv out now
[00:59:38] Juski: ok I'm gonna wipe the apps directory again
[00:59:50] defi_: ok so what the hell is the netflix plugin for other than searching theyre catalog?
[01:00:05] Kelerion: think "blockbusters"

[01:03:06] Juski: arrest me for the crime of making their noisy black box do something _useful_ ?
[01:03:32] Kelerion: I've never even used an xbox.. am not a gaming-type...
[01:04:12] Juski: erm.. wtf is with my ftp client? It's not uploading directories.. that'd explain some stuff
[01:05:44] Kelerion: defi.. if you run /usr/local/share/mythtv/mythflix/scripts/netflix.pl (or whereever it is on yours) you can set the username/password etc

[01:13:42] Kelerion: Juski, what you up to? rebuilding everything?
[01:15:49] Juski: Kelerion: playing with XBMC
[01:15:57] Kelerion: ahh ok
[01:16:03] Juski: that'd explain it – hadn't set my xbox' IP address lol
[01:17:15] ** Juski drools at all this smooth scrolling **
[01:17:57] Juski: yeh my theme was _based_ on project Mayhem III but...
[01:18:51] Juski: right I gawt some erroring going on here
[01:20:25] Kelerion: so can XBMC integrate with myth? or just play media? music, video's etc
[01:21:23] opello: there's some xbox/mythtv thing done in python iirc, but it's only for 0.18 i think
[01:21:30] Juski: Kelerion: it can play recorded files, schdule recordings, use livetv... the last 2 didn't work last time I tried it
[01:21:50] Juski: opello: it's been updated – a1fa & I are trying out the CVS version now
[01:21:57] Kelerion: oh.. cool... I thought the two projects were completely seperate
[01:22:11] opello: aha
[01:22:13] opello: cool
[01:22:18] Juski: Kelerion: yeh they are seperate. XBMC is just a spiffy media player thingy
[01:22:36] Juski: but these ere python scripts give it basic frontend functionality

[01:24:32] a1fa: damn it dude
[01:24:36] a1fa: everything works
[01:24:38] Juski: monolith: not mythburn.. and it's the closest thing there is
[01:24:39] a1fa: but i cant do livetv
[01:24:40] a1fa: :P
[01:25:04] a1fa: Encoder 1 is local on mytivo and is watching Live TV: 'Scary Movie 3' on TBS. This recording will end at 8:45 PM.
[01:25:04] monolith: Juski, i have mythburn working on 0.18 i just dont know how to get it into 0.19
[01:25:15] Kelerion: you can pickup xbox's now for next-to-nothing can't you?
[01:25:18] a1fa: but i cant tune to it
[01:25:26] Juski: a1fa: restart of the backend is needed then
[01:25:38] Juski: and forget about livetv – it's not been reworked for 0.19 AFAIK
[01:26:34] a1fa: why is that?
[01:26:56] Juski: a1fa: the livetv method has been totally changed since 0.18

[01:54:55] Juski: Kelerion: chipping the box is inconsequential
[01:55:50] Kelerion: I was figuring it couldn't be beyond me if so many people have done it.. it probably all makes more sense when you actually have an xbox in front of you
[01:56:38] Juski: takes about half an hour to fit a chip
[01:56:48] Juski: one hour to get XBMC running in total

[01:58:09] rtsai: xris: here?
[01:58:18] Kelerion: if I buy a modded box.. does that mean all the bios and dash stuff would already be done?
[01:58:34] Juski: Kelerion: probably
[01:59:00] Juski: flashing takes all of 5 mins if the DVD drive reads normal writeable media
[01:59:20] Kelerion: ok – that sounds like something I'd probably consider trying as a new project then
[01:59:24] dev: yeah usualy the chip is preflashed with cromwell bios, a legal bios. the only time you need to modify the dashboard is if you're trying to do, um, not so legal things with it :)
[02:00:21] dev: modifying xbox's isnt a good topic of discussion for this, logged, channel
[02:00:32] Kelerion: that kind of legal doesn't bother me.. if I've bought a box – as far as I'm concerned – I can do whatever I want with it
[02:01:01] dev: Kelerion: thats right, but some of the software thats wrritten for the box is illegal, regardless of if you own the hardware or not
[02:01:17] Kelerion: ahh.. ok.. that makes sense
[02:01:26] Juski: bah it's a bag o shite anyway – lipsync going in & out of step...
[02:01:31] Juski: going back to the older one
[02:01:47] defi_: ok can you order movies through mytflix

[02:17:39] JasonX: it also bombs out after a few secs playing sometimes, no matter what ringbuffer & cache settings u set

[02:48:00] ricochet: rtsai, the debian package

[02:52:59] rtsai: (what kinds of things don't have sound?)
[02:53:11] ricochet: I didn't mean it doesnt player video too :)
[02:53:24] ricochet: having a problem with live tv and recordings
[02:53:41] rtsai: so nothing tv related works
[02:53:49] rtsai: (no recoridng, and therefore nothing to play back?)
[02:54:35] ricochet: video plays
[02:54:52] ricochet: just not audio
[02:55:09] rtsai: what kind of capture card are you using?
[02:55:16] ricochet: PVR-250
[02:55:48] rtsai: don't those require looping soundcard output or some such?
[02:55:58] ricochet: I'm using my optical out too, so I send it to plug:iec958
[02:56:26] rtsai: what output device did you configure with mythtv?
[02:56:28] rtsai: for audio?
[02:56:31] rtsai: I have /dev/dsp on mine.
[02:56:35] rtsai: (optical out)
[02:57:29] ricochet: I have /dev/dsp configured. I tried the alsa plug:ice958 thing (which I have kde using)
[02:57:48] ricochet: nope, there is not loop-to-audio
[02:57:58] ricochet: loop to the soundcard
[02:58:00] rtsai: I mean, your "Audio output device" in the Setup:General screen says "/dev/dsp", and that doesn't work?
[02:58:13] ricochet: correct
[02:58:35] rtsai: is the pvr-250 the one with the tv-out, or are you using a video card for that?
[02:59:09] ricochet: I'm using the video card. the encoder & decoder is the pvr-350

[02:59:58] ricochet: so what about the --enable-oss thing? what program wants that argument?
[03:00:19] rtsai: that's a compile flag, so it shouldn'affect you. If you run "mythfrontend --version", you should see "using_oss using_alsa"
[03:00:32] rtsai: the debian stuff should have pretty mcuh everything turned on...
[03:00:52] ricochet: $ mythfrontend --version
[03:00:52] ricochet: 0.18.1.20050510–1
[03:01:12] rtsai: ah
[03:01:17] rtsai: not the latest and greatest
[03:01:20] rtsai: that's fine
[03:01:27] rtsai: what kernel version?
[03:01:36] ricochet: 2.6
[03:01:44] rtsai: do you have a /proc/config.gz?
[03:01:52] rtsai: self-built, or pre-built?
[03:02:13] ricochet: 2.6.14-1–686 #1 debian kernel
[03:02:22] rtsai: what I'm getting at is that mplayer can probably do native ALSA, but mythtv requires ALSA emulation of OSS. So let's make sure your kernel has OSS support
[03:02:36] ricochet: no config.gz

[03:04:50] rtsai: i guess you can pastebin it
[03:04:51] ricochet: I see _oss things
[03:04:56] rtsai: yeah, that's what i was looking for
[03:05:10] rtsai: snd_pcm_oss and snd_mixer_oss
[03:05:13] ricochet: theres snd_mixer_oss, snd_pcm_oss, etc
[03:05:45] ricochet: snd_pcm_oss 55040 0
[03:05:50] Beirdo: mythtv doesn't require OSS emulation, it can be compiled for native ALSA last I looked
[03:05:53] ricochet: not sure if the 0 is significant
[03:06:15] rtsai: Beirdo: 0.18?
[03:06:30] Beirdo: pretty sure
[03:06:31] rtsai: ricochet: the "0" just means nothing is playing audio right now :)
[03:06:41] ricochet: ok
[03:06:47] Beirdo: but OSS definitely worked in 0.18 :)
[03:07:14] rtsai: the last thing I can think of is to go back to the "Audio output" page and "use internal volume controls", and make sure the master volume isn't set to 0% or anything dumb like that
[03:07:24] rtsai: ricochet: otherwise, I'm tapped out. Good luck.
[03:07:55] rtsai: narf: who cares? Just take it and run :)
[03:08:01] ricochet: rtsai, this is in my .asoundrc:pcm.!default {

[03:09:07] ricochet: rtsai, it was to get the optical to be default, IIRC

[03:10:19] rtsai: and it has both analog and optical out?
[03:10:22] ricochet: yep
[03:10:45] rtsai: I remember when I was first setting up my system, all my audio was actually giong out through the audio ports. I don't remember what I did to change it though.,
[03:11:01] rtsai: Have you at least checked the analog ports with cheap desktop speakers or something just to see if that's what's happening?
[03:11:10] rtsai: at least you'll know exactly what it is that needs fixing ...
[03:11:16] rtsai: ^audio^analog
[03:11:31] ricochet: I think that is how I used to have it setup (back when mythtv worked)

[03:17:40] rtsai: I don't use kde
[03:17:57] ricochet: I was just gonna say that it plays audio
[03:18:05] rtsai: how about you rename your .asoundrc to something else, do the "amixer ... 0" and see if that works?
[03:18:27] rtsai: yeah, I think just there's something somewhere telling myth to do something else.

[03:39:25] Beirdo: tutorial?
[03:39:39] Beirdo: create your cutlist for the show
[03:39:44] Beirdo: then run nuvexport
[03:39:48] jnunez: achew22: Do you mean outside of the MythTV editor interface

[03:41:07] Beirdo: if it works for you...
[03:41:26] achew22: if I screw up the cut on the news then I watch the news without commercials (replayed at 10)
[03:41:28] Beirdo: anyways, bring up a shell, and run nuvexport
[03:41:34] Beirdo: it's not rocket science
[03:41:48] jnunez: Beirdo: News shows might be better because they usually have sharp cuts to ads

[03:44:06] jnunez: cool.
[03:44:09] achew22: really easy
[03:44:30] achew22: remember when it tells you to apt-get install mythtv go to section 9.2 and compile the new binaries insead of getting .18.1
[03:44:36] Beirdo: the problem is, I want to have the nfsd up before I go to bed

[03:50:01] Beirdo: got the RAID all up and running (4 * 300G Seagate SATA)
[03:50:14] Beirdo: got all the data moved over (LVM++) :)
[03:50:26] mchou: LVM++??
[03:50:27] Beirdo: now I'm gonna go fuck it all up by installing a new OS
[03:50:29] Beirdo: yes
[03:50:33] wasabi_: i just decommissioned 3 sata drives, about 500gb total.
[03:50:33] Beirdo: as in LVM rules
[03:50:34] mchou: wth is that?
[03:50:37] wasabi_: Replaced with two 400GBs
[03:50:40] wasabi_: same. LVM. ;)
[03:50:51] wasabi_: So now my total is 4x160GB + 2x400GB
[03:50:52] Beirdo: LVM over RAID rules
[03:50:56] wasabi_: I use evms.

[04:10:50] seme|Home: is anyone even using the "Internal" player?
[04:11:00] achew22: there isn't an internal player... is there?
[04:11:14] achew22: i thought it just used some other program that wasn't xine
[04:11:16] jams: yes there is
[04:11:37] seme|Home: yeah there is an "Internal" player which I think uses mplayer but I'm not sure
[04:11:38] achew22: why was it setup with mplayer by default on my box then?
[04:12:04] jams: because mplayer is still the default setting
[04:12:17] achew22: then it uses mplayer to play it and its not internal...
[04:12:24] seme|Home: thats what it was on my box too... but the "Internal" player has nicer integration such as teh menu support, etc
[04:12:49] seme|Home: just replace the mplayer config with "Internal" in the video player config
[04:12:51] jams: achew22- right if your using mplayer that is the case. However Myth can use it's own internal player to play videos
[04:13:04] seme|Home: jams are you using the internal player
[04:13:10] jams: I have
[04:13:10] achew22: jams how do I do that?
[04:13:23] achew22: clear the box for it?

[04:13:32] achew22: ohh — nevermind
[04:13:33] seme|Home: no change it to "Internal"
[04:13:41] achew22: i'll play with ti
[04:13:52] jams: achew22- it's in the mythvideo settings. clear the box and type Internal. be sure to write down what was there before you clear the box.

[05:21:04] nosun: :p
[05:21:12] buddy: I have just done a NEW install of MthTv
[05:21:20] myNOOBtv: Nosun think of it like this....
[05:21:31] myNOOBtv: get your video card working with it's drivers
[05:21:39] myNOOBtv: then get the capture card working
[05:21:52] myNOOBtv: then try to install mythTV with yum
[05:21:55] buddy: no updates no touching of anything but the mythtv-setup and mythfilldatabase questions
[05:21:59] nosun: the video card part is done;)
[05:22:03] nosun: nvidia
[05:22:04] myNOOBtv: the guide is not perfect
[05:22:10] myNOOBtv: congrats :)
[05:22:22] buddy: well sort of :)
[05:22:25] nosun: that I had a idea I would need to do though;)
[05:22:32] nosun: as for the cap cards
[05:22:34] nosun: I dunno
[05:22:41] myNOOBtv: which card do you have?
[05:22:43] nosun: I think I will try getting one going first then 2
[05:22:43] buddy: I ONLY see tv video in the mythphone option
[05:22:44] nosun: :p
[05:22:58] nosun: Zoltrix TV Max
[05:22:59] myNOOBtv: it's just as easy to do both at once honestly
[05:23:15] nosun: the other is based on same shit
[05:23:16] buddy: what do I need to do to have mythphone stop useing the tv turner?
[05:23:16] myNOOBtv: is that an IVTV driver card?
[05:23:20] nosun: so should work with same drivers
[05:23:31] nosun: give sec

[05:28:20] myNOOBtv: Brook Tree
[05:28:20] myNOOBtv: Brook Tree is the manufacturer of the bttv set of video capture chipsets. Many of these cards also provide audio capabilities supported by the btaudio drivers. These cards are software driven components in that they rely on the computer processor to handle much of the load, unlike the Haupauge PVR series of hardware encoders. As a result, a processor closer to 1Ghz is needed to capture using one of these cards, especially for
[05:28:20] myNOOBtv: Live TV viewing since that involves both encoding and decoding at the same time.
[05:28:25] buddyv: doh hit wrong key
[05:28:47] myNOOBtv: so if your at 600MHz you need more cpu :/
[05:28:55] achew22: get a hardware encoder
[05:29:02] myNOOBtv: aye
[05:29:16] nosun: as I said I have a MSI TV@nywhere but :P

[05:29:34] nosun: but I question its compatibility

[05:33:27] achew22: only reason I wouldn't want to do that
[05:33:32] myNOOBtv: $50 or so right?

[05:45:05] myNOOBtv: but a cold boot fixes it
[05:45:05] Beirdo: and that's another reason it pisses me off that I buggered the console
[05:45:06] Beirdo: heh
[05:45:24] achew22: AAAHHH MUST KILL NUVEXPORT FOR BEING SO SLOW
[05:45:28] myNOOBtv: does ctrl-alt-f2 work on your version?
[05:45:32] mchou: Beirdo: what do you mean by buggered the text console?
[05:45:59] Beirdo: that has nothing to do with distro, and yes, it works, but the video mode on the text consoles is stuck at something the TV won't display
[05:46:25] achew22: do you have a nvidea card?
[05:46:28] Beirdo: no
[05:46:33] achew22: nevermind

[05:55:29] Beirdo: and I decided to rsync the old filesystem
[05:55:42] damo21: hi, i have followed just about every online help with getting mythtv to work with ubuntu breezy but im still getting permission problems accessing the mysql database
[05:55:49] mchou: Beirdo: so how much live storage have you got now?
[05:56:08] Beirdo: 900G of RAID5, 80G system disk
[05:56:14] buddy: what name is your mysql database?
[05:56:19] Beirdo: so 60G less than before
[05:56:21] damo21: mythconverg
[05:56:21] mchou: damo21: then you didn't follow every step
[05:56:31] narf: damo21: are you using a remote frontend?
[05:56:31] buddy: and pw?
[05:56:46] damo21: username mythtv pw mythtv
[05:56:54] damo21: the backend is logged in fine
[05:56:55] mchou: Beirdo: how much of the 900GB is for myth?
[05:57:05] Beirdo: 400G just like before
[05:57:07] kormoc: damo21, are you using a remote frontend?
[05:57:08] damo21: but when i login using mythweb i get the following error
[05:57:25] buddy: bad ip address ?
[05:57:25] Beirdo: didn't resize anything, just pvmoved the entire LVM onto the RAID
[05:57:27] kormoc: damo21, is mythweb on a different computer then the database?
[05:57:36] damo21: no everything on the one machine
[05:57:40] mchou: Beirdo: what do you use the other 500G for mostly?
[05:57:44] narf: nm then
[05:58:10] Beirdo: mp3s, downloaded ISOs, backups of my linode, etc
[05:58:28] Beirdo: 100G for converted video
[05:58:33] mchou: that's a shitload of mp3
[05:58:40] damo21: phpmyadmin says that mythtv is logged in at localhost 4 times
[05:58:58] damo21: so that means the backend works?
[05:59:05] Beirdo: meh, only 10G of mp3 right now
[05:59:32] buddy: what error are you geting?
[05:59:33] damo21: but when i login to mythweb it says: Warning at /usr/share/mythtv/mythweb/includes/init.php, line 54:

[06:01:18] damo21: not explicitly... but i saw tv_grab_au run successfully
[06:01:41] damo21: when i ran mythtv-setup
[06:01:49] seme|Home: ok so tv is now working
[06:01:54] seme|Home: but the quality looks aweful
[06:01:54] buddy: use web browser & go to ip address of you mythtv server what do you see?
[06:02:00] seme|Home: its really interlaced
[06:02:08] seme|Home: and the color and brightness are really off
[06:02:10] damo21: buddy: i see a page with 2 error messages
[06:02:16] seme|Home: is it possible to make adjustments?
[06:02:26] buddy: mythfill did not run correctly
[06:02:42] damo21: ok what is the command to fill the database
[06:02:49] buddy: mythfilldatabase
[06:02:52] damo21: k
[06:02:54] buddy: user mythtv
[06:02:56] kormoc: damo21, did you edit the .htaccess file in mythweb's directory?
[06:03:11] damo21: kormoc: no
[06:03:27] damo21: kormoc: there is no such file
[06:03:30] kormoc: damo21, you might want to do that, cause as of 0.19, that's where the database stuff is now stored.
[06:03:36] kormoc: damo21, well, that could be an issue
[06:03:52] damo21: kormoc: im not familiar with apache
[06:04:09] buddy: ahh i did not know that I'am stil on .18
[06:04:23] kormoc: damo21, it should have came with mythweb
[06:04:42] achew22: is there a way in bash script to run two commands at the same time? or is there a command line version of nuvexport
[06:04:53] buddy: i guess its a good time to ask Which version are you installing :)
[06:05:08] damo21: kormoc: i installed mythtv from ubuntu, it seems some dependencies were omitted, like libnss-db... took ages to get the backend working
[06:05:28] kormoc: achew22, command1 & (next line) command2 &
[06:05:52] achew22: i just realised that there was a manpage for nuvexport
[06:05:57] achew22: i'm going to see if I can do it through that
[06:06:47] damo21: kormoc: ok im installing mythtv 0.19
[06:07:48] damo21: kormoc: which version of mythweb goes with mythtv 0.19
[06:07:51] buddy: well I ask my question here cause I cant figure what went wrong :)
[06:08:05] kormoc: damo21, mythweb 0.19
[06:08:14] damo21: ok
[06:08:19] buddy: why do I have live TV in the mythphone option?
[06:08:41] achew22: would someone be willing to help me with the setup for my custom commercial cutting job?
[06:09:04] buddy: and does apt-get upgrade mythtv work with out any issues?
[06:10:10] achew22: buddy yeah but it will only get you to 0.18.1
[06:10:15] seme|Home: is it possible to change the tv to deinterlaced mode?
[06:10:20] seme|Home: or does that not make sense
[06:10:26] achew22: yes... its in your setup somewehre
[06:10:29] kormoc: seme|Home, not really, no
[06:10:40] buddy: i have 18.1 now I'll wait till later
[06:10:46] seme|Home: hrm...
[06:10:57] kormoc: achew22, that enables deinterlacing filters, but tv's are interlaced likely, unless they are hdtv, which it should auto do it's thing
[06:11:01] seme|Home: I just got the TV working but I can't tell why the quality is so bad
[06:11:04] damo21: does mythweb 0.18.1–3 work with mythtv 0.18.1–5?
[06:11:24] seme|Home: I'm watching it on my lcd does that usually cause a problem?
[06:11:35] achew22: it probably will — but go to the site and get 0.18.1–5 to prevent any issues
[06:11:42] kormoc: seme|Home, nah, just enable the deiinterlacing filter in the playback options
[06:12:01] kormoc: achew22, the -3 and -5 is maintainer versions, not offical versions
[06:12:10] achew22: nevermind then

[06:32:48] Gumby: does anyone here know if there is something that will take the keypress rate of my ati remote and make it so that a single keypress isnt repeated within say .5 seconds or so?
[06:32:49] kormoc: seme|Home, perhaps you do need to then
[06:32:58] Gumby: from one press I am getting 5 or so presses
[06:33:01] Gumby: quite frustrating
[06:33:02] seme|Home: maybe
[06:33:03] seme|Home: ;)
[06:33:14] kormoc: Gumby, I do beleive there is a repeat thing for lirc
[06:33:22] xris: Gumby: recalibrate lirc
[06:33:38] Gumby: the ati remote isnt using lirc as far as I know
[06:33:44] kormoc: ahh
[06:33:48] kormoc: then likely not
[06:34:13] xris: Gumby: depends on what driver.. there's a keyboard driver for it, or you can use lirc.
[06:34:17] Gumby: I've messed with the kernel module and recompiled it before and it helps, but its still not great
[06:34:37] Gumby: xris: you dont happen to know of a URL where I can read up on it would you.
[06:34:59] Gumby: I guess I am using the keyboard driver.... not sure though
[06:35:06] kormoc: I need to get lirc working
[06:35:09] xris: Gumby: sorry, not a clue. I remember having a horrible time with my lola remote (same driver)... ended up just not using it.
[06:35:22] Gumby: all I know is that I load the ati_remote kernel module and it works... or at least receives input
[06:35:24] xris: Gumby: if it was a kernel module specifically for the remote, it's the keyboard driver.
[06:35:24] kormoc: I have the remote working fine, irw reads it fine, just myth doesn't do anything when a key is pressed
[06:35:45] Gumby: ah, ok. I'll see if I can get lirc working then
[06:35:50] xris: kormoc: you configure the lirc config file for myth?
[06:36:09] xris: kormoc: ~/.lircrc
[06:36:19] kormoc: xris, sure did, and myth reads it fine
[06:36:22] xris: weird
[06:36:40] kormoc: xris, just the remote presses generate no event, for all of X even, it's not just limited to myth
[06:36:49] Gumby: the "fetch channels from listings source" option in mythtv-setup takes some time to complete... this is fine, but it'd be good if the user was notified that something was indeed happening instead of just what appears to be a frozen screen
[06:40:52] xris: Gumby: submit a bug report or no one will know it needs to be done.

[06:59:32] damo21: 4.0
[06:59:56] xris: do you have the compat library installed?

[07:00:08] xris: mysql compat headers
[07:00:18] damo21: checking
[07:00:19] xris: sometimes needed for interaction with php/perl libraries
[07:02:23] damo21: im running ubuntu, cant seem to find that package what is its name?

[07:14:15] damo21: xris: oh... cool ok
[07:14:48] xris: damo21: or you could just listen to what the author recommends (me, btw) and install it from tarball... I think packages for web apps is just silly. too many choices on where to install.

[07:18:45] damo21: xris: made a htpasswd file etc
[07:19:18] xris: damo21: is there a conf file for apache that points to the mythweb install directory?
[07:19:48] damo21: xris: probably not
[07:20:32] damo21: xris: ohhh the directory is invisible, but the address works
[07:20:56] xris: damo21: ?
[07:21:04] xris: it's probably aliased or something
[07:21:37] damo21: xris: the structure of my /var/www/ has a symlink to the correct directory
[07:21:48] xris: makes sense. but f'd up.
[07:22:06] xris: but that's why I suggest using the tarball... people put their web installs in really whacked places.
[07:22:30] damo21: xris: im just a linux noob, installed from synaptic
[07:22:45] xris: damo21: as long as it works.
[07:23:18] damo21: xris: yeah thats why im here, coz the whacked ubuntu packages dont work flawlessly
[07:23:24] xris: there are a few tweaks in the README that you might want to check on (search for AllowOverride) if it doesn't work...
[07:23:25] xris: http://svn.mythtv.org/trac/browser/branches/r . . . thweb/README
[07:23:36] xris: I added them after the release — not sure if the distros have put things in there or not
[07:23:59] xris: for newbie myth people, I think fedora is the easier to get running.
[07:24:06] damo21: ok
[07:24:11] xris: axel puts a lot of work into getting the packages to work out of the box...

[08:57:37] damo21: how do i find out which user:group apache2 uses in ubuntu
[08:57:50] damo21: join #ubuntu
[09:01:03] pjn: mod_env is included in apache2 under ubuntu
[09:01:35] pjn: you can check it by making a phpinfo file and seeing what modules are loaded

[09:06:55] pjn: you need to set allowoverride on the mythweb directory in apache2.conf
[09:08:21] Pitchin_uk: what is htpasswd ??
[09:10:27] pjn: is is a program that you can use to generate password files to restrict access to various directories of your webserver when used with a .htaccess file
[09:11:14] Pitchin_uk: how do i run it because just typing htpasswd doesn't work
[09:11:40] pjn: just typing htpasswd gives you usage doesn't it?
[09:12:04] pjn: htpasswd -c .htpasswd username password
[09:12:06] Pitchin_uk: no – it says command not found
[09:12:08] pjn: at a guess

[10:41:38] stuarta: it would be warm
[10:41:39] Jasper: :p
[10:41:43] Jasper: it's not warm
[10:41:44] Jasper: it's snowing
[10:41:45] Jasper: :)
[10:42:01] stuarta: if it were afternoon, you would be in a warm country
[10:42:22] Jasper: :p;
[10:43:15] Jasper: anyone have a clue how a computer detects what language keyboard you use?
[10:43:25] Juski: it doesn't
[10:43:28] Juski: you tell it
[10:43:41] Jasper: well yeah in linux...but windows seems to recognise a lot of it
[10:43:58] Jasper: maybe by keypresses you did before or something.
[10:44:31] Juski: ????
[10:44:41] Jasper: I mean during the installation
[10:45:26] Juski: oh, maybe there's an ID string in the keyboard registers
[10:45:50] Juski: having to say what kind of keyboard you're using is no big deal though

[10:47:09] Jasper: lol
[10:47:22] Juski: 8, penny chews
[10:47:55] Jasper: ok...so let's say in japan...how will it know it should display weird signs?
[10:48:22] Juski: Jasper: next you'll be saying that having a put a CD in the drive to install a distro is too much like hard work, or downloading one.. whoah.. can't we just power up a machine & it'll know I want ubuntu & just get it itself?
[10:48:25] greg__: Jasper you pick the keyboard mapping you're using in windows too
[10:48:33] greg__: it's somewhere in the control panel
[10:48:37] Jasper: what happens when you plug your keyboard into a japanse computer which has just been formatted?
[10:48:58] stuarta: nothing, you have to turn it on first
[10:49:16] Jasper: but I mean...you won't have a europian keymapping in command then or?
[10:49:34] greg__: you'd have whatever the japanese install disk default is
[10:49:45] greg__: when i install windows i get a US keyboard, even though i don't have one
[10:49:50] greg__: almost the firs tthing i have to change
[10:49:54] Juski: it's one of the first things you do in an install, depending on the distro
[10:50:09] Jasper: greg you have a us keyboard layout?
[10:50:16] greg__: nope
[10:50:25] Jasper: what kinda keyboard do you have then?
[10:50:29] greg__: ie
[10:50:39] greg__: hmm, or uk in here, ie at home
[10:50:55] Juski: anyway to change your keyboard config in Linux is pretty easy. google it
[10:51:03] greg__: it can't tell, the keyboards are the same. they have different symbols drawn on them and the keyboard mapping determines what a keypress appears as
[10:51:04] ** hydroksyde come from new zealand... any other NZ MythTV users? **
[10:51:10] Jasper: Juski I don't need to know how to change it

[10:53:28] hydroksyde: yes
[10:53:32] hydroksyde: it can take days
[10:53:44] hydroksyde: and the case i'm using is designed for windows XP MCE
[10:53:47] hydroksyde: it's a nice case
[10:54:21] hydroksyde: but i can't get the front panel, which incorporates the front controls (play, pause, stop, record, etc. and volume), IR, and LCD
[10:56:24] greg__: any idea how those frontpanel buttons are connected? Serial? usb? some crazy proprietary interface?
[10:56:30] hydroksyde: USB
[10:56:38] hydroksyde: it uses some phillips controller
[10:56:48] greg__: your best bet is googling and hoping someone's written a linux driver for it
[10:56:54] stuarta: maybe it looks like a keyboard?
[10:56:56] greg__: unless it's a standard HID device or something lucky
[10:56:56] hydroksyde: that apparently will one day be supported through the USB gadget API
[10:57:03] hydroksyde: but not yet
[10:57:18] hydroksyde: it's definitely not a generic HID
[10:57:27] Jasper: anyways what I mean juski was bios level drivers for the keyboard
[10:57:30] greg__: you're probably shafted then, unless googling turns up someone having worked on it
[10:57:57] greg__: maybe the kernel mailing list?
[10:57:57] hydroksyde: http://www.pp.co.nz/ProductsC.php?pp_id=PC00061 – there's the one
[10:58:10] hydroksyde: the keyboard works, the remote and front panel stuff doesn't
[10:58:31] hydroksyde: and no, the IR is not stock MCE remote IR
[11:01:19] stuarta: what does lsusb say about it?
[11:01:27] hydroksyde: can't remember
[11:01:36] hydroksyde: the case is not with me at the moment

[11:02:06] hydroksyde: errr
[11:02:08] hydroksyde: something
[11:02:09] stuarta: that'll at least give you the usb id to google for.
[11:02:14] hydroksyde: yes
[11:02:32] hydroksyde: I'm working on my home PC now

[11:02:48] hydroksyde: shows up in irw
[11:02:57] hydroksyde: mythtv is built with lirc
[11:03:13] hydroksyde: i have the appropriate ~/.mythtv/lircrc
[11:03:25] hydroksyde: unless...
[11:03:50] greg__: if it shows up in irw you're most of the way there
[11:04:01] greg__: your mythtv is compiled with native lirc support?
[11:04:06] hydroksyde: yep
[11:04:23] greg__: your lircrc is in mythtv format, not the irxevent one?
[11:04:26] hydroksyde: hmmm... lirc would be handled on the frontend...
[11:04:27] Juski: as long as what's in the lircd.conf file aligns with your lircrc file, all will be well
[11:04:29] greg__: it should say program mythtv, above all the bits
[11:04:49] hydroksyde: it's the one in mythtv-0.19/configfiles
[11:04:57] Juski: oh dear.. it's no use having the remote receiver attached to the backend machine ;-)
[11:05:05] phar0e: where do I place my iconmap.xml file?

[11:06:50] Juski: what's up with making your own lircrc files anyway?
[11:07:20] hydroksyde: erm
[11:07:26] Juski: oops that's the old linux "I had to so everyone else should have to" line isn't it? ;-)
[11:07:27] hydroksyde: because no one exists for your remote

[11:59:46] Jasper: :P
[11:59:57] Jasper: and how it actually draws it :P
[12:01:11] phar0e: anyone here use a wireless keyboard with their mythfrontend?
[12:02:06] Juski: Jasper: wikipedia is good for that kind of thing.. or howstuffworks.com... but they're not always right of course
[12:02:16] stuarta: ahh, thread delete in mutt :)
[12:03:38] Juski: Jasper: your keyboard sends out a stream of 1's and 0's to the PC motherboard which end up in a register. the register is read & that's how a PC knows which key has been pressed... put in a very oversimplified way
[12:04:04] Jasper: yeah well I know how the integer works Juski....but can the bios for example draw a japanse sign?
[12:04:20] Jasper: by iteself....it knows how to draw a e when I let it print an e in assembly..
[12:04:25] Jasper: but will it also do that with other signs..
[12:04:27] Juski: then to draw characters on the screen these little men who are too tiny to see with the naked eye, they paint the letters one dot at a time
[12:04:27] Jasper: see my problem?
[12:05:00] greg__: sometimes one of those poor little men dies Juski. That's why you get dead pixels on lcd screens
[12:05:07] Jasper: can I put just any sign in a string and will the bios then print it :P
[12:05:09] Jasper: that's the question
[12:05:10] greg__: i hold a little funeral everytime a pixel dies :(
[12:05:13] Juski: greg__: exactly
[12:05:51] greg__: Jasper I'd be amazed if your bios supports unicode
[12:06:01] greg__: so if it doesn't it probably just does ascii
[12:06:18] Jasper: yeah...and that's exactly the problem
[12:06:18] Juski: Jasper: I think PC BIOS' just deal with ASCII
[12:06:36] Jasper: so I need to rewrite the driver which gets loaded so it knows all the unicode signs..
[12:06:37] greg__: Jasper, why are you going through the bios? thats only really to get you up and running in a proper OS
[12:06:48] greg__: jasper there;'s no driver involved
[12:06:53] greg__: the bios is the driver
[12:07:02] Jasper: writing own os greg__

[12:08:19] greg__: hmm there used to be educational OS's. Simple ones designed to show how an OS was written
[12:08:20] greg__: like minix
[12:08:26] greg__: maybe there's some more modern equivalent?
[12:09:44] Juski: is there really any need to reinvent the wheel though?
[12:10:18] greg__: i assume he's doing it for fun

[12:11:02] greg__: well that should all keep you busy for the next few years anyway ;)
[12:11:11] Jasper: and that's exactly the problem...I need to structure my filesystem so it uses the unicode code of directory names to get it into a b+tree

[12:46:00] pjn: I've set the post show recording time to 360 seconds in the mythfrontend setup, and the pre show recording time to 60 seconds. mythtv is only recording shows a minute early and finishing on time, not finishing 5 minutes late. There are no shows being recorded after the current show. Any ideas?
[12:46:21] pjn: s/5 minutes/6 minutes/
[12:48:18] greg__: try setting the record early and record endlate options in the recording schedule instead
[12:48:25] greg__: when you create the recording schedule
[12:48:52] greg__: there's another pre and post thing which relate to getting yoru mythtv box up in time to be ready for a recording, and something after. so you may be setting the wrong one?
[12:48:56] pjn: I thought the default settings I've changed should apply to all recordings
[12:49:12] pjn: hmm, I'll have another look
[12:49:14] greg__: i think they're different things. there was a thread about this last week on the mailing list. you may want to search it

[14:52:47] Juski: Kelerion: I think Silverstone PSUs are made by FSP
[14:53:30] mchou: Juski: I wouldnt doubt it. But I thought FSP PSU are supposed to have a good rep
[14:54:02] mchou: Juski: kinda surprising to hear of a blow up.....
[14:54:19] Juski: you could try fixing the original PSU – maybe its internal fuse has just gone, though the root cause may well be the main switcher going short, or the input crowbar protection circuit
[14:54:44] ** stuarta thinks juski could blow up anything **
[14:54:48] Juski: it's worth the price of a new fuse to try
[14:54:56] mchou: Juski: you know much about fixing PSUs?
[14:55:12] Juski: switch-mode PSUs.. yeh I've repaired a few
[14:55:30] Kelerion: Juski, thanks... I'll have a look at it... it just went "pop" so could be the fuse
[14:55:52] stuarta: or a tranny
[14:55:59] mchou: Juski: my PSU has low voltage....Is there a way I can "fix" that?
[14:56:18] Juski: mchou: buy a one with bigger capacity
[14:56:20] mchou: Juski: uniformily low voltage on all rails
[14:56:28] Juski: unless you wanna change the main reservoir cap
[14:56:45] mchou: Juski: I dont think it's a capacity issue in this case
[14:56:51] Juski: usually something about 150 microfarads at 400V
[14:57:12] Juski: cost about £5 to change
[14:57:35] Juski: they're easy to spot – they're the biggest single component, usually
[14:57:39] mchou: Juski: Is that the big honking cap in the PSU?
[14:57:48] Juski: yup
[14:58:08] mchou: Juski: how do you discharge it prior to desolder?
[14:58:20] Juski: screwdriver
[14:58:59] Juski: if you just pull the plug while your pc is powered up it should drain itself ;-)
[14:59:11] mchou: Juski: so how do I know what value to replace it with?
[14:59:43] mchou: I mean in my case
[15:00:01] Juski: mchou: you read what value is on the case of the cap – it's ok to use a bigger value but make sure the voltage & temp rating of the new one are at least the same as the old one
[15:00:28] mchou: Juski: no no, if I wanna up the voltage.....
[15:00:33] Juski: though it's a good idea to replace it with a better one, especially the temperature rating
[15:01:05] Juski: mchou: if the voltages are too low, then the main reservoir cap is probably failing
[15:01:25] Juski: either that or you're overloading the PSU
[15:01:51] mchou: my PSU hasnt blown yet :)
[15:02:10] mchou: been this way for quite some time now
[15:02:17] Juski: in the latter case you should buy a better PSU – not necessarily more watts, but better quality & capable of delivering its rated current on the rails that matter
[15:02:24] mchou: like 2+ yrs
[15:02:42] mchou: already ordered a new PSU

[15:03:53] woodwizzle: I figure they have to do with which ones autoexpire and get commercial skipped maybe, but I have no clue which ones mean what
[15:04:02] Juski: the book means recordings are bookmarked. the flag means they've been commflagged

[15:05:37] woodwizzle: If I were to add a 2nd tuner card so I can record more programs or watch tv and record... would I have to split my cable to go into both cards?
[15:05:49] woodwizzle: mchou, Yup
[15:06:00] Juski: woodwizzle: yep, if you're talking about the antenna coax
[15:06:21] Juski: if you take svid or composite, you'd need another cable/satellite box too
[15:06:33] woodwizzle: Juski, poop I already have it split once. I was hoping the 2nd chip could read the coax from the first card.
[15:07:01] Juski: woodwizzle: how would it do that?

[15:08:30] mchou: woodwizzle: hell, it should be almost free
[15:08:44] woodwizzle: mchou, Practically yes =)
[15:08:44] Juski: oh and if you use a framegrabber card that connects to your soundcard, you'll also need another soundcard

[15:09:16] greg__: oh, yuck. was about to ask what kind of card. but sw encoder :(
[15:09:22] Juski: two software encoders (framegrabbers) and you need 2 soundcards
[15:09:24] greg__: my little via would have a fit
[15:09:46] Juski: unless the tuner cards have onboard audio capture too – which most don't
[15:09:48] woodwizzle: mchou, are the x50s the only hardware encoders?

[15:10:23] woodwizzle: mchou, aww damn
[15:10:25] greg__: well without going money crazy
[15:10:32] woodwizzle: mchou, so it probably wouldn't be worth getting then
[15:10:45] mchou: woodwizzle: depends on what cpu you got
[15:10:58] mchou: woodwizzle: where you live?
[15:11:03] Juski: sw encoders are erm... very pale by comparison with hauppauge pvr cards by the time you've encoded to mjpeg
[15:11:18] woodwizzle: AMD 2500. I do have it underclocked a tad because its in my living room and I wanna play the heat issues pretty safe
[15:11:18] mchou: Juski: huh???
[15:11:19] greg__: woodwizzle if its your friends card why not try it out?
[15:11:24] greg__: surely he'll let you try before you buy
[15:11:29] greg__: otherwise give him a slap
[15:11:39] mchou: woodwizzle: nah, 2500xp is plenty
[15:11:42] Juski: what I mean is, framegrabbers & mjpeg encoding <<<< PVR150 quality
[15:11:50] mchou: SW will work just fine for ya
[15:11:51] woodwizzle: greg__, Yeah, but mythtv has never really been "plug-nplay" just to try it out friendly for me.

[15:22:50] mchou: woodwizzle: PM if interested :)
[15:22:51] _rjune: woodwizzle: have you guys figured out how to vote yet?
[15:23:19] mchou: _rjune: hahah!! That's not the problem with FL
[15:23:27] _rjune: it's one of many
[15:23:28] stuarta: greg__: sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't
[15:23:31] woodwizzle: I think I know how to, but who knows, maybe I was one of the hanging chads
[15:23:35] mchou: _rjune: it's all that vote rigging :)
[15:23:46] greg__: i get lots of false positives and lots of false negatives stuarta
[15:24:04] greg__: skip ahead is good enough for me tbh tho
[15:24:25] _rjune: mchou: if gov. jeb is like his brother, that's possible too, but Al Gore was quite explicit in stating that floridians were too stupid to understand the butterfly ballot
[15:24:32] stuarta: overall, it's rubbish. but nobody has been bothered to fix it yet..
[15:24:57] mchou: _rjune: dammit, al gore was right! :)
[15:24:59] greg__: strikes me as a difficult problem to fix
[15:25:30] stuarta: need several different methods to detect all the commercials.
[15:25:59] stuarta: aspect ratio changes has been suggested....

[15:29:35] Captain_Murdoch: mythcommflag already uses aspect ratio changes, both letterbox/pillarbox and actual physical aspect changes in the stream.
[15:31:21] greg__: it can tell that in an encoded analog stream? Does it check for black letterboxing in the image?
[15:31:25] Captain_Murdoch: people pop up every 6 months thinking that they can do a better job at flagging and they work on it a while and then give up because they only suceed in making it worse. It's not an exact science like a lot of people think.
[15:31:33] greg__: i know the dvb stream itself would have AR in it
[15:31:36] Captain_Murdoch: yes, it checks for letterbox/pillarbox.
[15:31:40] greg__: cool
[15:32:06] mchou: Captain_Murdoch: they pop up that often? :)
[15:32:55] Captain_Murdoch: it scans the frame to see if the top and bottom are black and ditto for the sides. if it fits within a certain spec, it assumes the frame is letterbox/pillarbox. then it looks at the list of frames and decides whether the video is letterbox/pillarboxed and if so uses that info to help identify commercials.
[15:33:10] greg__: cool
[15:33:25] greg__: must play merry havoc with films that go letterbox for panaromic shots

[15:34:56] greg__: stuff like the blank frame looks like it should be very reliable. that must be an american thing, they don't seem to appear in the ukl broadcasts i get
[15:35:04] Captain_Murdoch: the 'All' method uses weights, it finds blocks of show and then weights each block based on certain criteria to determine whehter it thinks that block is show or commercial
[15:35:36] mchou: greg__: so how would you suggest commercials in the UK be detected?
[15:35:56] mchou: like is there a dead giveaway?
[15:36:00] greg__: i haven't, look up : "greg__ strikes me as a difficult problem to fix"
[15:36:09] greg__: i'm talking about it, not criticising it
[15:36:16] stuarta: black magic :)
[15:36:27] greg__: aye, like i said, strikes me as the hardest part of mythtv
[15:36:28] Captain_Murdoch: blank-frame used to be very reliable back 3 years ago when I wrote that code, but over time it became less and less reliable. There are even some shows like Law & Order that put a blank frame at 30 or 60 seconds into the show, possibly to fool blank-frame detection, that started messing things up, so I started working on other methods. About the only thing I work on now is 'All' and that's not that much since it usually wor
[15:36:28] Captain_Murdoch: for me.
[15:36:42] mchou: greg__: I didnt say you were criticizing. I'm asking what commercials in the UK are like
[15:36:46] greg__: i've worked with mpeg streams, i can work with drivers. stuff likethat either works or doesn't
[15:36:57] greg__: they're shite mchou :) they have no blank frames, usually don't change AR
[15:37:05] greg__: the volume goes up
[15:37:07] greg__: a fair bit
[15:37:13] mchou: greg__: how aboute volume?
[15:37:16] greg__: but that happens during scenes in movies too
[15:37:38] greg__: volume is the biggest give away i'd guess
[15:37:42] greg__: they go annoyingly loud
[15:37:49] Juski: greg__: the perceived volume goes up, not actual volume
[15:37:50] Captain_Murdoch: greg__ if you understand that, that's a bonus. :) too many people think it should be 0 or 100%, nothing in between. I wrote the code and I don't even use the auto-skip because I know it will probably never be 100% accurate.

[15:38:16] Captain_Murdoch: the audio "compression" I think is what it is called.
[15:38:34] Juski: yes – commercials are compressed to within a millimetre of the regulations
[15:38:47] mchou: Juski: what the diff betw percieved/actual volume?
[15:38:52] znoG_ is now known as znoG
[15:38:54] greg__: so it really isn't louder in a decibel sense of the word?
[15:39:06] Juski: exactly
[15:39:10] greg__: lol that's cool
[15:39:15] Captain_Murdoch: right now the flagger does nothing with audio. I'd like to delve into that area some,but am no audio expert. The flagger was the first time I've delved into video coding as well.
[15:39:15] greg__: annoying, but cool :)
[15:39:21] Juski: it _sounds_ louder
[15:39:35] mchou: Juski: you're incorrect
[15:39:45] Juski: mchou I'm not
[15:39:59] greg__: heh
[15:40:03] mchou: Juski: load up a clip in Vegas and you'll understand why
[15:40:06] Juski: you can have two piece of audio peaking at the same level, with the same average level and one could sound louder
[15:40:34] greg__: because it's inane waffle about ambulance chasing solicitors or weight loss products?
[15:40:34] greg__: ;)
[15:41:12] greg__: i'll have to google that audio compression think. i find that sort of trick of the mind interesting

[15:42:23] Juski: yes, not overall 'loudness' in terms of peak levels
[15:42:56] Niklas_E: if the tvkard works with mplayer and tvtime and doesn't work with mythtv, but have been working before I updated the drivers, is it mythth it is wrong? the video starts at normal speed but slows down after a while and I haven't sound either
[15:42:59] Juski: so you've accused me of being wrong yet just backed me up

[15:43:59] ole_schoola: company called SIA makes it, used to be owned by JBL
[15:44:11] mchou: I never said anything about dynamic range
[15:44:16] mchou: that wasnt me
[15:44:20] Juski: ah
[15:44:42] Juski: anyway it'd be harder to determine than just the peak levels is what I'm saying – it's more complex
[15:44:46] greg__: just reading up on it now, says the entire add is at a constant high volume as opposed to having the normal highs/lows.
[15:44:51] stuarta: old_schoola: that wouldn't be much use inside the commflagger :)
[15:45:03] greg__: well, if thats the case then a period of show where the difference between min and max audios is way smaller than normal
[15:45:20] greg__: would be a part with comrpessed audio, eg an ad
[15:45:24] ole_schoola: stuarta, no but it IS a way to fft analyze ;)
[15:45:42] Juski: suppose that'd be simpler than a lot of what commflag is doing
[15:45:43] stuarta: can do that with audacity IIRC

[15:48:26] greg__: probably for the best, one tv channel is enough ;)
[15:48:56] stuarta: no xmvc for me. anyway I don't watch livetv
[15:49:18] greg__: i like mythtv for xvmc, i can pause films if the phone rings then get to skip the commercials because of the backlog
[15:49:22] greg__: for live tv even
[15:49:27] greg__: bah, got xvmc on my brain now
[15:50:27] nuxil: ok , V it is..
[15:50:38] nuxil: now for my recording problem
[15:50:52] nuxil: why cany i watch and record at the same time
[15:50:58] greg__: well you've clearly got two working tuners, if pip works
[15:51:02] greg__: so that's the good news :)
[15:51:19] nuxil: yes.. pvr 500 has 2 tuners
[15:51:37] greg__: so what goes wrong if you're recording and try to watch tv?
[15:51:49] greg__: if i press record and then want to watch channels i always have to escape out of live tv then go back in
[15:51:55] greg__: i can't just channel up/down

[15:53:53] greg__: can you then watch live tv, with the other tuner?
[15:54:17] nuxil: yes i can go back an watch tv.. but nothing is recorded
[15:54:21] greg__: i've had to do that, it decided to use the tuner i was watchign tv with instead of the otehr one. so i had to escape, then watch tv again which gives me the 2nd tuner
[15:54:30] nuxil: i checked ion my recoding dir..
[15:54:48] greg__: under system status, theres a tuner status bit
[15:54:53] greg__: you can see what your two tuners are doing
[15:55:07] greg__: let it record the show, escape to menu and check that
[15:55:40] greg__: after that i'm out of ideas, you got logging turned on?
[15:55:56] nuxil: logging turned on?
[15:55:58] Juski: anyway mchou: I'm speaking from experience with UK adverts. In occasional cases the programme content is measurably quieter but that doesn't happen very often. One of my cable channels has advert sound 6dB hotter than programmes, so that'd be a dead giveaway but that's the only case I've ever encountered
[15:56:21] greg__: Juski, have a look at http://www.crtc.gc.ca/eng/INFO_SHT/G3.HTM
[15:56:34] nuxil: greg__ i'll try your method.. see if it works..
[15:56:41] greg__: it's about the annoying things they do with sound in ads
[15:56:58] greg__: nuxil if that fails try the mailing list i guess, and turn on logging
[15:57:24] nuxil: ok. thxz for your help so far
[15:57:32] Juski: greg__: I have a good idea what they do – had 2 weeks' experience in a commercial production dept of a radio station when I was at college

[17:03:44] Juski: stuarta: I think crayzee meant he's wanting to mix analogue & digital
[17:04:03] Juski: I run 2 dvb-t with one datasource too, but I don't mix
[17:04:05] stuarta: I read it the other way :)
[17:04:27] crayzee: Yeah I want to mix 2 terrestrial with one DVB-t.

[17:04:49] Juski: crayzee: call it 'analogue' rather than terrestrial to avoid confusion

[17:47:47] xris: I don't use either of them, so it's a low priority for me to fix.
[17:48:18] ille_: xris, now I will use the music part since I got the m3u streaming working
[17:48:48] coffee88: I'm still having no luck getting the backend status page to load (different BE/web server). Does it work differently (e.g. protocols?) to the other pages at all?
[17:48:50] ille_: xris, used gnump3d before pointing at the music directory
[17:49:23] kormoc: coffee88, it uses the fopen.urls option to talk to the backend, which returns the page
[17:49:56] coffee88: kormoc: Is that the only page that does? Would a firewall block that from happening?
[17:50:07] xris: ille_: I'm working with someone to rewrite mythweb... his patches may actually do the playlist thing already.
[17:50:17] kormoc: coffee88, yeah, it's the only page that does, and yeah, a firewall would prevent that
[17:50:25] kormoc: coffee88, the rest of the pages talk via the mysql server
[17:50:34] coffee88: Ah that will be why then...

[18:04:11] kormoc: coffee88, you need the web server to be able to talk to port 6543 (I beleive?) on the backend
[18:04:23] Beirdo: I think it's 6544
[18:04:36] kormoc: ahh
[18:04:39] Beirdo: 6543 being the backend protocol port (or am I out of it?)

[18:12:11] xris: I need more drives of the same size so I can use raid instead of lvm
[18:13:39] Beirdo: hehe
[18:13:47] Beirdo: my 900G RAID is humming along just fine
[18:13:55] Beirdo: the stats there was my linode
[18:14:00] Beirdo: (where the logs are currently)
[18:14:01] Beirdo: d
[18:14:20] xris: ahh
[18:14:23] xris: that's not good, then
[18:14:26] Beirdo: OK, got it to 90% full
[18:14:39] kormoc: the 320 gig western digital sata drives are rather nice for the price
[18:14:47] Beirdo: be careful
[18:14:56] xris: kormoc: yes. but to add the price of a RAID card busts my budget.
[18:15:05] Beirdo: some RAID controllers don't like the JB-series disks
[18:15:06] ** kormoc raises an eyebrow at Beirdo. **
[18:15:12] Beirdo: as they do stupid things.
[18:15:25] xris: Beirdo: JB is PATA
[18:15:26] kormoc: xris, hehe, fair nuff.
[18:15:28] Beirdo: like retry a write or read automatically if there's an errror
[18:15:34] Beirdo: OK, the SATA equivalent
[18:15:41] Beirdo: JD? I can't remember
[18:15:42] ** coffee88 feels deja vu that another drive manufacturer discussion is about to kick off... **
[18:15:43] xris: Beirdo: that's why WD released the raid edition drives.
[18:15:46] xris: KD
[18:16:14] Beirdo: yeah, WD made "RAID edition" drives so they can charge more for a drive that isn't dumb :)
[18:16:23] Beirdo: hhe
[18:16:26] kormoc: Beirdo, that's most drives tho, that have the retry issue
[18:16:32] Beirdo: just be careful what kinda drives you use
[18:16:33] xris: Beirdo: they don't cost more
[18:16:41] Beirdo: they *shouldn't*
[18:16:45] ole_schoola: that marketing guy probably got a bonus for coming up with that one
[18:16:47] Beirdo: but many stores do charge more
[18:16:54] kormoc: it's sorta ata spec to retry over and over again, and the RE editions don't follow the specs
[18:17:02] Beirdo: um, no
[18:17:09] kormoc: ooh?
[18:17:09] xris: Beirdo: then that's f'd up... the drives basically just disable write caching and other stuff that f's with raid performance/reliability
[18:17:14] Beirdo: ATA spec says if you fail, say it's failed
[18:17:52] kormoc: on a hard failure
[18:18:00] kormoc: the RE drives instantly fail on a soft failure
[18:18:10] Juski: unless you turn that feature off
[18:18:35] Beirdo: yeah
[18:19:19] Juski: I've evaluated RE drives.. don't use em for non-raid applications
[18:19:23] Beirdo: OK, drive space back under control. 90% is the sweet-point
[18:20:36] Juski: these new seagate 500GB models I've got are nice
[18:20:42] Beirdo: heh
[18:20:52] Beirdo: I like my Seagate 300G ones I got on Saturday
[18:21:00] Beirdo: I ain't paying for 400G or 500G drives right now
[18:21:03] Beirdo: not worth it to me
[18:21:15] Juski: cool, quiet, not as fast as maxtors but they like being near other disks more
[18:21:18] Juski: like 5 times more
[18:21:22] xris: Juski: yeah. they're missing features that the raid controller provides, but are basically necessary for normal drive operation.
[18:21:42] Beirdo: I don't want maxtors
[18:21:45] Beirdo: ever
[18:21:54] xris: yeah, maxtor (even though it's now seagate) isn't worth it.
[18:22:08] Beirdo: maxtor got bought?
[18:22:10] Beirdo: since when?
[18:22:17] kormoc: a month or three ago
[18:22:21] kormoc: somewhere in that range
[18:22:21] Juski: december or so
[18:22:24] Beirdo: eek
[18:22:40] kormoc: Seagate is gonna put maxtor tech into their drives!
[18:22:41] Beirdo: the only good Maxtor drives were the ex-Quantum ones
[18:23:16] Beirdo: Seagate won't likely adopt the shit parts, just the good parts :)
[18:23:29] kormoc: I don't have much faith in seagate myself :P
[18:23:29] Beirdo: unless the marketroids prevail
[18:23:43] xanderp: Fujitsu's are pretty much crap in my opinion... always fail on my raid sets at work..
[18:23:53] Beirdo: they've consistantly made good drives for a LONG time. (seagate)
[18:24:00] Beirdo: Fushitsu's worse than Maxtor
[18:25:05] xris: Beirdo: we really only sell seagate and WD. more WD lately, which is an interesting market trend, though the drives seem to hold up just as well as seagate in the field.
[18:25:11] xanderp: maxtor lost my vote back in the day when they were selling drives with 'superstacker' or whatever to say your 50meg harddrive was 100meg (through compression) and trying to sell the drive as a 100meg...
[18:25:17] Beirdo: well that's a good thing, xris :)
[18:25:32] xanderp: i've had pretty good luck with WD
[18:25:33] xris: no one in the industry seems to want to touch maxtor
[18:25:43] Beirdo: maybe (just maybe) WD will be trustworthy, but I've been bitten SO many times by them in the past
[18:26:03] Beirdo: I have ONE Maxtor drive, but only because I needed a disk immediately.
[18:26:13] Beirdo: and I replaced it with something else within a month
[18:26:18] Beirdo: it's on the shelf
[18:26:39] Beirdo: OK, I need food.
[18:26:45] Beirdo: friggin starving here
[18:26:46] xris: Beirdo: they made a dramatic shift in quality about 1.5 years ago
[18:26:53] Beirdo: good to hear
[18:27:02] Beirdo: shift UPWARDS I assume?
[18:27:04] xanderp: funny... i've got 2 old junker drives on my desk drawer... a 20gig WD, and a 120G maxtor.... the maxtor has sharpie on the label saying 'corrupts data'
[18:27:04] Beirdo: hehe
[18:27:05] xris: about the same time that maxtor started getting really bad.
[18:27:09] sona: I've never had any problems with any maxotr hdd, amazingly..
[18:27:26] Beirdo: heh
[18:27:29] Beirdo: BRB
[18:27:30] Juski: nor have I
[18:28:02] xanderp: i've lost data on more than one maxtor
[18:28:27] drdaz_: I've never had an issue with WD drives myself.. got 4 and none have failed
[18:28:52] xris: drdaz_: helps having large numbers (meaning in the thousands) of drives to compare to...
[18:29:00] drdaz_: lol true
[18:29:12] drdaz_: but..
[18:29:40] drdaz_: I am assuming, perhaps wrongly, that folks here aren't talking of experience with quantities that large
[18:29:41] xris: from a personal side of things, you're unlikely to get failures from any manufacturer... since you're such a tiny sample.
[18:29:57] sona: yes that's probably why people think maxotr suck, cause sooo many use them
[18:30:31] xris: sona: actually, it's all about relative numbers... maxtors suck in comparison to enterprise-level solutions, which area lead by seagate and wd.
[18:30:33] kormoc: Beirdo, I've fun WD for a long time, and it's been awesome quality for myself all along, hence why every single drive I own is a WD
[18:31:11] xris: kormoc: I still have a 20G maxtor sitting around in case one of my servers dies and I need a temporary replacement drive
[18:31:50] kormoc: my boot drive on my one box is a 1.2 gig WD

[19:06:30] atom_jack: hmmm, ivtvctl -d /dev/video0 -Y reports mute = 0
[19:06:34] atom_jack: and volume = 58880
[19:06:57] kormoc: well then, does anything play audio?
[19:07:00] atom_jack: yeah
[19:07:14] atom_jack: that's not the issue, i'm checking it in media player classic on my XP box which does sound just fine
[19:07:44] xris: kormoc: you're completely correct
[19:07:55] atom_jack: and looking at the mpg's properties in mpc, it shows there's an audio stream and yet i don't hear any sound
[19:08:13] kormoc: atom_jack, maybe it's a bad version of ivtv
[19:08:18] kormoc: or of the firmware

[20:41:51] Gumby: but now when I cat /dev/video0 >test.mpg a 0byte file is created :(
[20:42:54] Juski: lol
[20:42:54] Gumby: the current dmesg output after modprobe ivtv is @ http://ultimate.kicks-ass.net/errors/ivtv.txt
[20:42:54] Gumby: I just cant figure this one out
[20:42:54] atom_jack: did you try video1 instead of video0?

[20:43:26] Gumby: atom_jack: no, I dont have a video1 device
[20:43:54] atom_jack: what about if after you boot up you rmmod ivtv and modprobe it again? what's dmesg look like then, same errors?

[20:47:24] atom_jack: hrm
[20:50:14] Gumby: odd thing is, I have had this happen in two different distros
[20:50:37] Gumby: so maybe its a hardware issue
[20:51:08] Gumby: but it seems odd to me that it worked after the initial install of the ivtv drivers and then after a reboot it was broken

[21:24:52] xris: if you're getting that, then it's not pulling the vars from the .htaccess filer
[21:25:51] sandos: is it not pretty bisarre that I need to use directfb to be able vsync with mplayer?
[21:25:51] sandos: youd think that functionality should be in most drivers...

[21:27:42] xris: yeah
[21:27:51] xris: only other thing I can think of is the allowoverride stuff
[21:28:01] xris: but if you put in the specific directory, that should be fine

[21:28:47] dagfinnr: AllowOverride All

[21:28:54] dagfinnr: yeah, i put this in the httpd.conf
[21:29:06] xris: hmm... I've seen SOME problems with some installs needing RewriteBase set in the .htaccess file to /
[21:29:18] dagfinnr: the readme had the dir without the " but i added it
[21:29:21] dagfinnr: hm
[21:29:28] xris: um, you don't want quotes
[21:29:29] dagfinnr: where do i set that in the .htaccess file?
[21:29:55] dagfinnr: all my other dirs have quotes xris, and theyre auto generated i think, atleast i havent written them :P
[21:30:30] xris: ahh, I guess quotes are fine... should update the readme, then
[21:30:45] xris: .htaccess has a RewriteBase line in it already, commented out.
[21:30:48] otwin: meushi: with ´ivtvctl -z´ you can select the audio track on pvr-x50 cards – don´t know of a way to do this from within mythtv though

[21:34:00] dagfinnr: no luck there either
[21:34:15] dagfinnr: strange ..
[21:34:32] xris: I've run out of ideas
[21:35:46] dagfinnr: well, it would be strange if this would work without many many hours trying different thing..nothing mythtv things has done so far :/ hehe
[21:36:15] xris: I've had very little trouble with mythtv. worst is getting lirc transmitter working.
[21:36:32] xris: mythweb always works for me, but then again, I'm the one who sets the standards.
[21:37:25] dagfinnr: hehe, lirc actually worked nicely here the first time but im using a standard hauppage remote control
[21:37:53] dagfinnr: is there any way i can degrade mythweb with yum ?
[21:38:13] dagfinnr: (if it aint broke, dont fix it) <- i never learn! lol
[21:38:59] xris: dagfinnr: transmitter, not receiver
[21:39:10] xris: old mythweb won't work with new mythtv
[21:39:12] dagfinnr: aha
[21:39:17] dagfinnr: darnit..
[21:39:31] xris: it's basically a frontend... has to keep up with changes in the backend.

[21:45:19] robthebob: dagfinnr, you still having trouble with mythweb?
[21:45:33] xris: dagfinnr: what was it?
[21:45:41] dagfinnr: in the old mythweb i was using a symlink 'tv', to ease the url, the same i used now, that seemed to be the error. Thanks for trying to help me xris.
[21:45:49] otwin: ooh, i see you are in luxembourg! salut!
[21:46:00] xris: lol
[21:46:09] robthebob: is it working ok now then?
[21:46:27] dagfinnr: when i removed the symlink its works
[21:46:48] dagfinnr: but the links at the main, what should they show? the actual contents of the video dirs etc?
[21:47:09] robthebob: yeah
[21:47:38] dagfinnr: looks like its replacing mythweb with mythweb.php

[22:46:08] Indiana_June: xris: what do you use for your books currently?
[22:46:37] xris: Indiana_June: me? nothing. I don't think I've read more than about 4 books since grad school.
[22:47:01] Indiana_June: I misunderstood the "I need a barcode"
[22:47:07] xris: I have a ton of cookbooks that I occasionally page through, but my wife does most of the reading.
[22:47:37] Indiana_June: heh
[22:47:38] xris: I'm curious about keeping track of the books we have... database would be cool, but fairly pointless.
[22:47:48] Indiana_June: I used openbiblio for a bit

[23:33:32] Gumby: all my guide data is two hours ahead of what it should be. Anyone have any idea why that might be and where to look to fix it?

[23:34:03] Gumby: ah, I see the problem me thinks.
[23:34:06] drdaz: Gumby: check your timezone settings

[23:34:22] xris: blueVoid: mysql.txt is set up with the wrong db login info
[23:34:53] xris: Gumby: there's also an "offset" correction somewhere in setup
[23:35:06] Gumby: cool, thx xris
[23:35:53] blueVoid: xris: Alright, I figured it was somewhere along those lines.. where can I find mysql.txt, and what is the right db login information? I never remember making a login for it
[23:36:41] xris: blueVoid: /etc/mythtv/mysql.txt or /usr/share/mythtv/mysql.txt or /usr/local/.....
[23:36:50] blueVoid: ok
[23:37:00] xris: correct info is whatever you set it up as during insall
[23:37:01] xris: install
[23:37:22] blueVoid: is there a way I can see what the information is, or somehow reset it?

[23:46:58] Sneezer: http://pastebin.com/587989 okay thats what it says now...
[23:47:41] xris: and /var/lib/mythtv/ is your recordings directory?

[23:48:10] xris: what nuvexport are you running?

[23:48:51] Sneezer: nuvexport version: 0.3 0.20060228.svn
[23:48:57] xris: .3 doesn't work with .18
[23:49:09] Sneezer: good call — go to .2
[23:49:31] xris: there was no easy way for me to detect .18, so I just left it at that.
[23:49:49] Sneezer: I am running .18 so your right

[23:50:32] xris: Sneezer: the "basename" bit says you're running .18
[23:50:33] xris: and yes, I am
[23:50:52] Sneezer: very good work — complements and contgrats from me on the great software
[23:51:09] xris: :)
[23:51:12] Sneezer: I also like the look of your site ;)
[23:51:38] Sneezer: anyways — how do I deal with it being .18
[23:51:46] xris: really? I think it's kind of lame. no time to fix it.
[23:51:52] xris: upgrade to .19 is the best way.
[23:51:56] Sneezer: its simple which is what I like
[23:52:00] Sneezer: .19 doesn't like me
[23:52:01] xris: or downgrade to .2.whatever.svn
[23:52:17] Sneezer: I think i'll downgrade to .2.whatever.svn
[23:52:21] Sneezer: where do I untar the fiels to
[23:52:41] xris: if you're installing by hand, doesn't matter, there's a makefile
[23:53:56] Sneezer: okay and do I need to delete anything
[23:54:39] xris: shouldn't
[23:54:57] Sneezer: whats the switch to unbz2tar a file
[23:55:01] xris: I haven't changed the file structure that much... main diff is that .3 no longer has mpeg2cut

[23:56:32] blueVoid: ok, thanks
[23:57:02] Gumby: ok, this is strange. my guide is telling me a program is on at a specific time, but when I set up a recording the time is still off by 2 hours
[23:57:10] Sneezer: xris is there a way to have it silently do that so that I can add it as a userjob
[23:57:10] Gumby: my tz is set properly now also

[23:58:09] robthebob: how come pressing the Vol+/- buttons on my remote also toggle subtitles?
[23:58:28] xris: robthebob: because you set it up that way?
[23:59:31] Sneezer: xris so its the same thing-- but i just change it to nuvexport --chanid=1072_20060303213000_20060303220200.nuv --mode=divx --path=/var/lib/mythtv/dad/ --ffmpeg --deinterlace --debug
