[00:00:13] polak (polak!n=Mike@CPE001346470f7d-CM00159a07e0be.cpe.net.cable.rogers.com) has joined #mythtv-users
[00:00:16] polak: hello
[00:00:28] corpix: hello polak
[00:00:52] polak: is DataDirect ofline by any chance?
[00:00:56] vividan: kormoc: still having issues with the password thing. In the end it would be nice to have a password protected mythweb so maybe help me get that setup?
[00:01:09] ** polak is setting up MythTV for the first time and just got a DataDirect account **
[00:01:27] kormoc: vividan, in the .htaccecss file it talks a little about how to set that up
[00:01:52] corpix: vividan, for newer releases i think you need to set up htdigest
[00:01:56] vividan: k
[00:02:21] corpix: AuthType Digest
[00:02:26] corpix: AuthName "MythTV"
[00:02:26] corpix: AuthDigestFile /var/htdigest
[00:02:27] polak: I keep getting Authorization failed when trying to Retrieve Lineups in mythsetup... or when trying to mythfilldatabase
[00:02:51] vividan: what are valid realms?
[00:02:57] kormoc: polak, it always fails once
[00:03:13] corpix: polak, maybe you need to set up mysql for user "mythtv"
[00:03:14] polak: kormoc, yes I read... but unfortunately... for me, it's EVERY time ;)
[00:03:36] polak: I've run the sql script... it's there
[00:03:51] kormoc: heh, well, that's just odd
[00:04:03] polak: ... yep :| :(
[00:04:13] corpix: i had to set up mysql manually, could be that its done automagically in later releases
[00:04:13] kormoc: I assume when you setup the datadirect stuff in mythtv-setup, it pulled down your listing area and all that?
[00:04:21] kormoc: corpix, it's not
[00:04:26] corpix: oh ok
[00:04:35] polak: kormoc, no... I can't even Retrieve Listing there... :|
[00:04:42] polak: again "Authorization Failed"
[00:04:43] kormoc: corpix, but he wouldn't be getting datadirect errors if it wasn't setup
[00:04:50] kormoc: polak, you sure your user/password was correct?
[00:04:50] polak: I can loging to labs.zap2it.com no problemo
[00:05:00] corpix: i see
[00:05:04] polak: oh yes... trust me I've rechecked it 100 times... going nuts ;)
[00:05:12] kormoc: you have wget with ssl support?
[00:05:40] polak: 1.10.2 > 1.9.1 so I guess so...
[00:06:03] kormoc: well, it's a compile time option
[00:06:18] kormoc: ldd /usr/bin/wget
[00:06:22] polak: ahhh... I'll look into that in a sec...
[00:06:28] kormoc: it should show libssl and libcrpyto
[00:06:32] vividan: kormoc: yayayayya it's working thank you so much!
[00:06:38] polak: yep... :( it's there
[00:06:38] kormoc: you're welcome

[00:25:25] kury-: anyone here running gentoo? I'm having some problems setting up the mysql part of myth..
[00:25:56] kormoc: what problems?
[00:26:03] kury-: why does "eselect mysql list" return nothing when I have mysql installed/emerged??
[00:26:27] kury-: something to do w/ the setups... and the current workings of mysql...

[00:26:53] kormoc: you don't have eselect-mysql installed?
[00:27:12] kormoc: tho, you don't even need to do that if you only have one version of mysql installed
[00:28:29] kury-: kormoc, I have eselect-mysql installed.. (the latest)
[00:28:43] kormoc: so what does eselect mysql list say?
[00:28:51] kury-: kormoc, and I only have one version of mysql install... (I'm pretty sure anyways)
[00:29:03] kury-: Available MySQL versions:
[00:29:03] kury-: (none found)
[00:29:08] kormoc: huh
[00:29:26] kormoc: mysql --version says?

[00:29:44] kury-: but... mysql is installed.. I've never really done anything with it... but it should be there.. and it is from what I can tell
[00:29:57] kury-: mysql Ver 14.7 Distrib 4.1.14, for pc-linux-gnu (i686) using readline 5.1

[00:33:06] kormoc: I would just continue on, cause there's no issues with not using eselect

[00:34:10] kormoc: ooh? why's that?
[00:35:05] polak: kormoc, ha... it worked... just needed some time I guess...
[00:35:12] kormoc: cool :)

[00:46:45] blk: hi, is it possible to launch external apps from within mythtv and can it handle a touchscreen? (configured as pointer device (mouse) in X)
[00:47:05] kormoc: check the mailing list about touchscreens
[00:47:14] kury-: kormoc: mysql -u root -p < /usr/share/mythtv/database/mc.sql
[00:47:14] kury-: Enter password:
[00:47:14] kury-: ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: YES)
[00:47:16] kormoc: as for external apps, depends on what you want
[00:47:34] kormoc: kury-, did you set the password for root?
[00:48:05] kury-: kormoc, ya.. and I've reset it... and I've retyped it... and I keep getting error 1045
[00:48:31] JasonX: corpix: I dont suppose you know if you managed to get ac3 pass thru via spdif AND downmixed stereo via analog simultaneously (via mplayer)
[00:48:38] kormoc: kury-, try mysql -u root -p -h 127.0.0.1
[00:49:47] kury-: kormoc, same thing
[00:49:59] ** kormoc blinks **
[00:50:27] kormoc: anything odd in the mysql log?
[00:53:44] corpix: JasonX, sorry, no. i played around with my asoundrc thats all
[00:54:42] kury-: kormoc, seems like I can only connect if I setup a completely blank password??
[00:55:25] JasonX: corpix OK I dunno if its possible anyway i dont even know if windows can do that but i think it did, i'll check it tomorrow
[00:55:40] kury-: kormoc, nothing in the log either.. (/var/log/mysql/mysql.log)
[00:56:05] corpix: JasonX, maybe the #alsa guys can help you out
[00:57:23] blk: kormoc: in my case the external app would be gpsdrive, but the question wasn't meant that specific
[00:57:24] JasonX: corpix: ahhhh i hadnt even thought of an alsa irc chan – doh! well anyway i got simul audio for normal stereo, ac3 pass thru would be icing on cake, else i'll need to add a ac3 on/off switch to myth GUI
[00:57:37] JasonX: cheers
[00:57:42] corpix: cheers
[00:58:50] kormoc: blk, you'd need to write your own mythplugin for that then, you see there's already a handfull of plugins, and I would have pointed you towards one that was more common if it existed
[00:59:08] kormoc: kury-, that's super odd, have you reemerged mysql by chance?
[00:59:26] kury-: kormoc, lol.. not today :P
[00:59:39] kormoc: kury-, might want to, just to be sure it's clean
[00:59:50] kury-: ight..
[01:00:06] blk: kormoc: ok, i guess that shouldn't be too hard – gonna take a look at some other plugins, do you have a suggestion on which one is a good start for learning?
[01:00:54] AngryElf: hey all, i need some method of converting my 3 drives into one filesystem so i can use it as my recordings directory
[01:01:41] kormoc: blk, mythvideo includes code to launch media players, so it would be simple to change that to whatever you would want

[01:02:26] kormoc: you're welcome
[01:03:07] blk: as for touchscreens if i'm right that should be working (at least partly) -> patches were merged into the trunk in january for initial support
[01:04:40] kormoc: Yeah, and iirc, on the mailing list, they have patches for full support
[01:05:36] blk: 3 days ago was a merge "Mouse support in the menus. Click + drag left to emulate escape." – guess it'll be svn then :)

[01:08:02] blk: i'm planning on using it for my carpc – investigating several solutions..last one was GPE/matchbox-wm
[01:08:51] JasonX: BTW has anyone come across a cable that can split an svideo output to give svideo AND composite in colour from just a 4 prong svideo out AND would an svideo amplifier improve the tv-picture
[01:11:45] JasonX: I have seen a device at maplins that claims to convert svideo to colour composite and an svideo splitter on ebay BUT dunno if this is gonna work as if svideo is split signal may degrade, so maybe i need a distribution amp that also converts :?

[01:15:45] monkeypet: Hi can someone try my torrent and just tell me if it starts downloading: http://yoeu.net/~fa/xebian.tar.bz2.torrent
[01:16:05] dtm: punctuation and grammer applied at just the right vector can produce what linguistic science knows as sentences.
[01:16:17] dtm: holy freaking crap. did i just say 'grammer'?
[01:16:18] goodwill: are there recomendation on what infra red receiver would be good? (looked all over wiki)

[01:17:41] rhacer: I've got the same question goodwill
[01:17:50] JasonX: i use punk-tuation an anarchic version of grammir
[01:18:36] goodwill: it seems like a replaytv remote woudl be good for that but I do not see it being supported by lirc
[01:21:12] rhacer: I've got a Harmony remote I just want an IR receiver that will support it.
[01:25:51] corpix: dtm, lol

[01:58:49] Perdignus: thanks bagleabuse
[01:59:04] Achew22: yeah — whats your problem?
[01:59:24] Perdignus: I think I have everything installed ok, but when Myth tries to play or record from it, my system reboots
[01:59:34] Achew22: I don't think its installed ok then
[01:59:39] Achew22: what specificly fails?
[02:00:12] Perdignus: I'm not sure where it's failing but I never get a picture on the screen, it goes black then reboots
[02:00:21] Achew22: it reboots?
[02:00:25] Perdignus: maybe I should go through the install again
[02:00:33] Perdignus: yeah, the computer reboots
[02:01:09] Achew22: that is very strange
[02:01:15] Achew22: what are you running
[02:01:33] Perdignus: yeah, I've never had a problem like this on this box
[02:01:45] Achew22: what distro
[02:01:54] Perdignus: I'm running debian sid, 2.6.16 (compileing 2.6.16.1 right now)
[02:02:22] Perdignus: I'm running udev, not hotplug, is that an issue for getting the firmware to load properly?
[02:02:47] Achew22: what ivtv are you running?
[02:03:18] Perdignus: 0.6.1
[02:03:22] corpix: Is it currently possible to just record the _AUDIO_ but not the video for a dvb-radio channel ?
[02:03:43] corpix: ... since it is a waste of hdd space
[02:03:45] Achew22: I don't beleive so — you could parse it out wiht some program

[02:05:03] mchou: Perdignus: myth is all user space, and userspace apps dont cause reboots :)
[02:05:13] Perdignus: should xawtv be able to view tv from a WinTV-PVR 500 if it's setup properly?
[02:05:20] Achew22: yes
[02:05:32] corpix: so does kaffeine
[02:05:57] Perdignus: I'll shoot for that then move onto Myth, it must be an install problem
[02:06:29] corpix: btw, i RMA'd my pvr-500 did it get for some of you also that HOT ? 65°C here (on a nforce4board)
[02:06:33] mchou: Perdignus: how was ivtv "installed"
[02:07:13] corpix: Achew22, ?
[02:07:18] mchou: Perdignus: I mean did you compile it yourself from source or some other fashion?
[02:07:44] Perdignus: mchou: I d/l'd the firmware files and put them in place then
[02:08:04] mchou: Perdignus: I saked about the driver, not the firmware
[02:08:11] mchou: asked*
[02:08:19] Perdignus: then d/l'd, unarchived and did a make then make install on the driver
[02:08:41] mchou: Perdignus: which version of driver and kernel?
[02:09:19] Perdignus: mchou: kernel is 2.6.16 , ivtv is 0.6.1
[02:09:24] mchou: ok.
[02:09:37] mchou: missed it when you mentioned it earlier
[02:09:43] Perdignus: np

[02:10:26] mchou: Perdignus: paste the output of the ivtv driver load in pastebin
[02:11:22] Perdignus: one thing that might be the cause, is that I originall installed 0.4.4 not knowing it was for the 2.4 kernel
[02:12:12] mchou: Perdignus: well, make sure you remove all traced of the 0.4.4 install then
[02:12:18] mchou: traces*
[02:12:39] Perdignus: mchou: I thought an install of 0.6.1 would overwrite anyting left by 0.4.4, not true?
[02:12:54] mchou: Perdignus: I doubt if that's true at all
[02:13:41] mchou: Perdignus: in fact you might need to do "make modules_install" on your kernel src tree again
[02:13:49] blk (blk!n=blk@212-41-121-13.adsl.solnet.ch) has quit ("->")
[02:14:17] mchou: since the prior install of 0.4.4 would have overwritten the "correct" kernel modules

[02:14:45] rhacer: so are there any rules of thumb for what I should plan on spending on building a single tuner MythTV box?
[02:14:58] Perdignus: mchou: I'm about to finish a compile on 2.6.16.1, maybe I should install that then try a reinstall?
[02:15:06] mchou: rhacer: yeah, plan on more tuners :)
[02:15:14] Anduin: rhacer: More than you'd think.
[02:15:40] mchou: Perdignus: yeah, that's probably work
[02:15:45] mchou: that'd*
[02:15:56] Perdignus: mchou: I'll give that a go, thanks for your help
[02:16:04] Achew22: would someone be willing to help me with mythweb
[02:16:14] rhacer: mchou: I don't know. I don't get enough cable tv I don't usually find myself needing to tape more than one thing.
[02:16:31] mchou: rhacer: what's this one thing?
[02:16:37] rhacer: Anduin: I'm guessing I could buy something far more cheaply
[02:17:52] mchou: ok, I'm confused. Is there a way to make all recordings default to "High Quality" ?
[02:18:42] mchou: it seems myth defaults to "default", but I cant find where to change that behavior.....

[02:51:09] mchou: SlicerDicer: lol

[02:51:33] Achew22: does anyone have any experience with winbackup?

[02:51:41] SlicerDicer: if I would have known this was going to be a issue I would have allocated more to my /tmp

[02:52:03] SlicerDicer: mchou: sounds good
[02:52:06] SlicerDicer: I will look into it

[04:41:03] SlicerDicer-: just a idea

[05:11:26] Szii: It's the encoding which is the killer.
[05:11:32] rjune: Bangers: only to record

[05:11:50] Szii: You'd be pushing it...might be okay with a hardward MPEG2 encoder.
[05:11:51] polpak: encoding being playback?
[05:11:52] rjune: Bangers: where were you getting mythtv from though?
[05:12:03] Szii: Playback = decoding.
[05:12:14] rjune: Bangers: gah, only to play, not record
[05:12:54] rjune: that'll take about 8 or 9 hours to encode a dvd. not that I have that very setup as a frontend
[05:12:59] polpak: Szii, ah.. see my question above about the Hauppauge cards.. Those have built in encoders w/ HW support so my understanding is they'd require very little for CPU
[05:13:03] Szii: It's an MPEG2 encoded file. Lots of people play .mpg files in Windows with less than a P3–600. :)
[05:13:29] Szii: Not all Hauppage have MPEG -DECODERS-, only the Pvr350
[05:13:32] rjune: Szii: depends on the resolution. hi-res stuff can beat on the proc
[05:13:45] Szii: The others, 250 and 150 have MPEG encoders but not HW decoders.
[05:13:48] phar0e: HELP, what should I order from taco bell?
[05:13:55] rjune: phar0e: shit.
[05:14:00] rjune: that's all they server. ;-)
[05:14:11] Szii: 2 tacos, one steak quesadilla and a large Mtn. Dew.
[05:14:39] polpak: Szii, but the encoders are all that's needed for recording
[05:14:50] Szii: He's talking about a playback box thoguh.
[05:15:20] polpak: Szii, oh.. I'm needing an all in one solution
[05:15:27] phar0e: a P600MHz couldn't playback a HDTV mpeg stream very easily
[05:15:42] Criggie: my frontend is a celeron 500 with i810 chipset... not exactly stunning hardware. Works fine except for accelerated playback... tends to stutter regularly.
[05:15:58] Criggie: phar0e: yeah – HD is a can of worms
[05:16:18] phar0e: HD is as big as when color TV came out, everyone needs to upgrade immediately
[05:16:24] Szii: laugh
[05:16:43] Criggie: phar0e: here in NZ there is one test HD stream, in auckland only, and its showing crap.
[05:16:49] phar0e: lol

[05:20:57] MooglyGuy: I don't necessarily disagree, I just disagree that it's a Linux-only thing. You find a lack of QA/QC with anything involving shareware and freeware.
[05:20:57] rjune: uhm, and it's different in the windows world whY?
[05:20:58] WAR_CH|LD: tables corrupting, etc.
[05:21:08] rjune: it's not even just shareware
[05:21:12] Szii: Tables corrupting = bad
[05:21:21] MooglyGuy: And, as the Elder Scrolls series has proven, even with payware. :P
[05:21:24] Szii: Using ISAM tables, or BDB?
[05:21:26] rjune: plenty of commercial software is like that. how many games do you buy and have work out of the box
[05:21:27] WAR_CH|LD: i've jsut done a repair, but I need to ask would it be benefical to convert the tables from MyISAM to InnoDB
[05:21:30] WAR_CH|LD: table types
[05:21:33] Szii: hahahaha, Oblivion = crashhog
[05:21:42] Szii: No, stay with MyISAM.
[05:21:49] Szii: It's not a table "type" problem, per se.
[05:22:05] MooglyGuy: Actually, I haven't had Oblivion crash on me yet, but that's just because I use the 360 version. However, Bethesda need a cockpunch for leaving disk caching turned on in the commercial release of the game.
[05:22:15] rhacer: ISAM is fast. InnoDB claims to be ACID.
[05:22:29] WAR_CH|LD: well, it stuffed up all my recordings on the weekend
[05:22:32] rhacer: but I can't imagine needing InnoDB for a DVR.
[05:22:37] MooglyGuy: I mean, it has the potential to become so utterly fragmented that menus wind up taking 60+ seconds just to come up.
[05:22:47] polpak: So here's what I'm looking for. I need an all in one solution.. I'm thinking of using a Hauppauge card (250, 150, or 500) or two for recording, an nvidia card for the tv out.. Running on a Intel P3 750 with 512 MB or so of ram.. Will this work? And which Hauppauge(s) would you recommend?
[05:22:54] Szii: I've run MyISAM pretty hard though production boxes and never seen a corruption.
[05:22:57] WAR_CH|LD: so MyISAM is the way to go?
[05:23:06] Szii: Of course, we don't shut 'em down and they're on UPS and what not
[05:23:07] MooglyGuy: I'd say a good rule of thumb is, "If you have to put in a workaround where holding a button on the controller while starting the game will clear the disk cache, you probably should leave that feature out".
[05:23:12] MooglyGuy: But anyway. Bed for me.
[05:23:34] Szii: I would stay with MyISAM. Check your disk controller's firmware and drivers.
[05:23:43] Bangers: rjune: yes only do decode. to decode a divx/xvid file across a network, is a 600Mhz p3/512Mb enough?
[05:23:48] Szii: And run hard disk utilities...you may have a hardware prob.
[05:24:17] rjune: Bangers: for most stuff it should be ok, but as noted, HDTV will beat it up pretty bad
[05:24:30] rjune: I used the hardframedrop with mplayer for that reason
[05:24:31] WAR_CH|LD: yeah, Szii i've had that thought too
[05:24:43] rjune: at least I did when I was using the P3
[05:24:49] WAR_CH|LD: dosen't anyone here use logrotate to rotate eht myth logs, and have any problems with it?
[05:25:03] WAR_CH|LD: I get the impression when hte logs rotation the backend freezes and then does't work anymore
[05:25:08] Szii: Havne't used it with MythTV, but been using logrotate for years.
[05:25:24] Szii: Probably because MythTV has the file open
[05:25:31] WAR_CH|LD: yeah, thats what i thought.
[05:25:32] Szii: Then you rotate it out from underneath it
[05:25:38] Szii: And MythTV loses the inode.
[05:25:43] Szii: and doens't recover.
[05:25:53] WAR_CH|LD: exactly, how do I solve it? just dont rotate?
[05:26:11] Szii: Or shut down MythTV before the rotation.
[05:26:16] Szii: Cron job it.
[05:26:28] Szii: Or patch it.
[05:26:33] Szii: It would be a trivial fix.
[05:26:40] polpak: ....
[05:26:44] WAR_CH|LD: yeah, a bit beyond my skills thou I think
[05:26:46] WAR_CH|LD: I unno
[05:27:20] Szii: depends on your coding skills.
[05:27:25] Szii: :)
[05:27:27] WAR_CH|LD: I have none. :)
[05:27:31] polpak: if anyone could look at my questions above and give me some kind of answer.. that'd be great =)
[05:28:08] WAR_CH|LD: firstly, what would be the best way to terminate he backend, just "kill mythbackend" or soemthing more elegant?
[05:28:10] Szii: I would advise that you get teh 150s
[05:28:30] Szii: Because the 150 is the newer 250s, hardware ENcoding, but no hardware decoding.
[05:28:31] WAR_CH|LD: i'm using 500's polpak, the ivtv drivers are good
[05:28:48] Szii: I've heard of some quality issues with the 500s, but not tried them myself.
[05:28:52] WAR_CH|LD: 500's are just 2x150's on one board
[05:29:14] Szii: They share components, and you're stacking components (like RF tuners) pretty close together.
[05:29:27] Szii: I have a pair of 150s in my box...standalone.
[05:29:45] Szii: Works fine, and if I blow one out...at least I can use the second one. :P
[05:30:08] dtm: phar0e: it's funny you say that coz i occasionally watched black/white for tv and video games as recently as 20–24 years ago
[05:30:12] Szii: The 150s are "newer 250s" so you're really up against "150 vs 500"
[05:30:21] polpak: Szii, also, did my specs (750 P3) sound like it'd work if I had a Nvidia card for the tvout?
[05:30:34] dtm: phar0e: color was a luxury for Atari 2600
[05:30:35] mchou: polpak: work for what?
[05:30:45] phar0e: dtm: that's why everyone needs HDTV
[05:30:48] dtm: oic
[05:30:53] Szii: If you have a non-HD stream, and a 150, then probably.
[05:30:54] dtm: phar0e: yes! for Atari 2600!!
[05:31:07] dtm: phar0e: i play atari 2600 games on my buddy's xbox
[05:31:07] phar0e: no, no games allowed, only educational TV programs
[05:31:09] Szii: The encoding is the killer, and if you offload that to the hardware, you should do okay.
[05:31:20] polpak: mchou, I need an all in one, non HD..
[05:31:36] mchou: 750 is cutting it close
[05:31:42] mchou: even for decode
[05:31:55] mchou: and even with xvmc
[05:32:08] Szii: ...people watch mpg files all the time with less hardware under Windows Media Player.
[05:32:14] mchou: lol
[05:32:15] Szii: It would depend on his stream.
[05:32:38] polpak: Szii, how do you mean "stream" ?
[05:32:39] mchou: except they arent doing sdtv res in windows media player
[05:32:42] Szii: He goes 1080i, yeah, it's a problem. :P
[05:33:04] phar0e: people play 120x80 .asf files in windows media player
[05:33:24] mchou: phar0e: exactly :)

[12:00:48] Juski: wrong unit used when you put the frequency in
[12:01:26] Juski: either it says you put khz into the box & you need to put in Hz, or vice versa
[12:01:27] moemoe: Juski: i created a channels.conf using scan
[12:01:34] haj: can i define what command mythbackend runs when it does the transcoding?
[12:01:54] Juski: moemoe – so does that mean you imported the channels.conf file?
[12:02:02] moemoe: Juski: yes, right
[12:02:27] haj: i'd like it to run transcode and commflag with schedtool.. :)
[12:02:55] moemoe: I would have preferred only to import a list of transponders and let mythtv do the scan, but found no way to do it
[12:03:27] Juski: haj: you can set myth to auto commflag & then transcode – but bear in mind that if the commflag marks are wrong you'll end up with bits missing from transcoded files
[12:04:07] Juski: moemoe: dvb stuff is fairly broken in 0.19 – 0.19-fixes is better – and svn will work better still

[12:04:57] haj: Juski: i know i know, atm it transcodes and then does commflag.. what i want to do is just to use batch-scheduling on those jobs to make sure they don't use anything but idle cpu-cycles.
[12:05:28] Juski: haj: you can specify when jobs are run – between any times you like
[12:05:45] ** Juski is sure that's mentioned in the mythtv FM **
[12:06:05] haj: Juski: but i guess i can only change the command used to run the programs by editing the source..
[12:06:45] Juski: haj: you could set up a user job to do what you want – then run that
[12:07:06] Juski: again that's covered in the manual or the wiki
[12:07:20] haj: perhaps.. i think i'll do a bit of reading :)
[12:07:43] moemoe: mhh okay, i think i'll try to put a svn-checkout into some .debs and test it again
[12:10:44] Juski: haj: setup of a user job is quite simple – you put the command you'd like to run as a user job in the user job #x box, then you can set myth up to run that job on a number of recordings quite simply... and you can set the time limits of when user jobs can run – as well as how much CPU they are entitled to

[12:13:59] Juski: haj: easy peasy – put that as a user job & select that to run instead of transcode when you choose which job to run

[19:43:47] RaYmAn-Bx: drdaz_: oh, cool. Working well? Is it getting tv guide data from there as well?
[19:44:00] RaYmAn-Bx: drdaz_: "finally" sounds like it was a whole lot of work?
[19:44:31] drdaz_: RaYmAn-Bx, nah... I still scrape from TDCs website... its the same data and it covers a longer period
[19:44:50] drdaz_: and yes it was a lot of work... the CAM I bought off ebay was duff
[19:44:59] drdaz_: figuring that out was hard
[19:45:18] drdaz_: also the drivers for my DVB card are a little experimental atm
[19:45:18] RaYmAn-Bx: drdaz_: you use the xmltvdk tvdanmark grabber? All the times seems to be somewhat wrong for me.
[19:45:22] RaYmAn-Bx: sucky :/
[19:45:38] haj: RaYmAn-Bx: -fixes ?
[19:45:48] drdaz_: that, coupled with the need to manually patch myth to work with my card... it was a bit of a pain
[19:46:07] haj: there seems to be lot of danes here? :)
[19:46:15] RaYmAn-Bx: haj: semi-development version available through svn
[19:46:24] haj: RaYmAn-Bx: ok
[19:46:37] RaYmAn-Bx: haj: well, we are at least 3 danes here ;)
[19:46:43] drdaz_: but yeah I use the tdc scraper off the yahoo group
[19:46:44] haj: yeb :)
[19:46:53] ** haj uses the tdc-one as well.. :) **
[19:46:57] drdaz_: :)
[19:47:08] drdaz_: the tv2 one stopped working for me very suddenly
[19:47:12] haj: its nice, when you have tdc cable... :)
[19:47:18] RaYmAn-Bx: the start/stop times work fine for you or?
[19:47:28] drdaz_: heh my analog isnt thru TDC :p
[19:47:33] drdaz_: yeah they do
[19:47:41] haj: then the 'shared' channels work with the guide as well.
[19:47:47] RaYmAn-Bx: mine seem to be slightly off
[19:47:58] drdaz_: haj: 'shared'?
[19:48:02] RaYmAn-Bx: i.e. I get a bunch of adverts in the beginning and lack the ending of the programs
[19:48:08] drdaz_: damn
[19:48:16] drdaz_: I get that with some channels
[19:48:21] haj: RaYmAn-Bx: they seem to work.. but i did set it up to start recording a bit before and continue a bit after :)

[19:48:36] RaYmAn-Bx: haj: yeah, I've been planning to do that :P
[19:48:58] RaYmAn-Bx: the biggest problem I'm having is lack of sound on some recordings..but I still don't know whether to blame ivtv or mythtv for that
[19:49:02] haj: drdaz_: like hallmark that shares the channel with foxtv

[19:49:17] drdaz_: oh!
[19:49:24] drdaz_: that 'works'?
[19:49:36] drdaz_: as in you get the right data in those channels?
[19:49:48] haj: drdaz_: yeb.
[19:49:50] drdaz_: hmm
[19:50:10] drdaz_: actually I havent ever bothered to check whether mine do :p
[19:50:23] drdaz_: I find it more fun to mess with my box than actually watch TV on it
[19:50:25] drdaz_: sad really
[19:50:27] RaYmAn-Bx: heh
[19:50:34] haj: :)
[19:51:05] ** haj did enough messing.. finding a Socket 939-motherboard that supported both AGP-cards and my PVR-500 was pretty hard ;) **
[19:51:10] drdaz_: one thing that cheeses me off.. TV2 doesnt 'autodetect' 16:9 mode
[19:51:18] drdaz_: ALi!
[19:51:22] drdaz_: for teh win!
[19:51:23] haj: i'm on my 3rd board.. this one seems to work though :)

[19:51:34] kormoc: haj, shouldn't have been that hard, just don't go with via :P
[19:51:37] drdaz_: heh
[19:51:44] RaYmAn-Bx: I only had to go through two cards before I had one that worked
[19:51:53] haj: drdaz_: it 'reset' when i tried using the PVR..
[19:52:05] drdaz_: I got myself an ASRock 939Dual Sata2
[19:52:07] haj: drdaz_: now i'm using a Nforce3 250gb based...
[19:52:11] RaYmAn-Bx: the PVR-500 seems to be notoriously bad with via chipsets (And others)
[19:52:12] drdaz_: AGP and PCI-E
[19:52:20] drdaz_: all works well
[19:52:32] haj: works pretty much ok, except for a minor hardware-monitoring bugs.
[19:52:48] haj: better go watch some tv with the girlfriend :)
[19:52:53] drdaz_: enjoy!
[19:52:54] haj: talk to you later.
[19:53:56] drdaz_: seriously tho... why in gods name does myth not automagically switch to 16:9 on TV2? It does it for other channels that broadcast in true 16:9
[19:54:14] kormoc: because it's not telling myth it's 16:9?
[19:54:19] drdaz_: TV2 ends up being all squashed up in the middle of the screen :(
[19:54:28] drdaz_: I'd guess thats the case
[19:54:40] drdaz_: but... then why in god's name isnt it doing that?
[19:54:43] drdaz_: :D
[19:54:58] kormoc: heh, likely cause they just don't care? :P
[19:55:22] drdaz_: I'd have thought they would
[19:55:45] drdaz_: they are like... one of only 3 channels broadcasting in true digital over here
[19:56:08] drdaz_: if it's not working for me... it must not be working for all the folks with STBs...?
[19:57:38] RaYmAn-Bx: drdaz_: have you checked whether it works with the box they provide?
[19:57:56] drdaz_: not really...
[19:58:00] drdaz_: but that box blows
[19:58:19] framp (framp!n=framp@p54A0F326.dip.t-dialin.net) has joined #mythtv-users
[19:58:19] drdaz_: it didnt do it with the channels that work in myth
[19:58:34] drdaz_: had to do everything with the TV's stretch functions
[20:00:47] drdaz_: I'd imagine I should be able to see in some logs how the streams identify themselves wrt aspect ratio and stuff dont u think?
[20:01:35] drdaz_: one thing about the digital streams tho... apart from being of a much higher quality than those generated by my PVR card... they are also alot smaller
[20:01:48] drdaz_: thats a very pleasant surprise
[20:02:27] Juski: that's the advantage of letting professionals do the encoding
[20:02:34] drdaz_: :) yes
[20:03:10] Juski: they can optimise a lot of stuff too – so it looks better at lower bitrates (up to a point)
[20:03:29] drdaz_: yeah

[20:04:05] drdaz_: I'm kinda hoping that I can evade their 50Kr/month surcharge by throwing their STB back at them
[20:04:21] drdaz_: I suspect it wont work tho
[20:04:27] RaYmAn-Bx: what's that for?
[20:04:44] charmw: Hey all... is there a .config file I can set the weather locale for? Using knoppmyth and the weather module won't let me edit or reset (m) the locale.
[20:04:45] drdaz_: the privilege of having a good picture
[20:04:49] drdaz_: :-|
[20:05:07] RaYmAn-Bx: I called them and asked if you could get selector without buying their stupid box..The woman I talked to could hardly understand what I meant, but finally said no (not sure I trust that though)
[20:05:12] RaYmAn-Bx: card fee or something?
[20:05:17] gnome42 (gnome42!n=obi@dsl-131-99.aei.ca) has joined #mythtv-users
[20:05:26] RaYmAn-Bx: or is it better than standard selector digital or something?
[20:05:40] drdaz_: they insisted to me that I have to use a box provided by them too
[20:05:48] drdaz_: I just ignored them
[20:05:51] RaYmAn-Bx: heh
[20:05:54] RaYmAn-Bx: they always do that
[20:06:02] Juski: can you use the service with a DVB card?
[20:06:10] RaYmAn-Bx: not officially :P
[20:06:11] drdaz_: the card fee is 200/year
[20:06:14] Juski: legally, I mean?
[20:06:25] RaYmAn-Bx: hmm
[20:06:46] drdaz_: I've skimmed the rules... there's nothing forbidding it specifically
[20:06:52] drdaz_: afaict
[20:06:54] RaYmAn-Bx: It might infringe on their terms tbh...But i'm not sure if they can enforce it unless it interferes with something
[20:07:08] Juski: what I mean is – it's all unencrypted, yeah?
[20:07:13] drdaz_: no
[20:07:23] charmw: RaYmAn-Bx: They're all outsourced to who knows where overseas... man sometimes I'd rather spend an extra few bucks just to know the support I get will speak clear English.
[20:07:28] Juski: in that case you don't wanna be talking about it here
[20:08:01] RaYmAn-Bx: charmw: the woman I talked to was definitely danish..She just had no clue about anything
[20:08:17] drdaz_: I'm using a viaccess CAM to watch most of the channels
[20:08:28] Juski: outsourcing customer support is a false economy – and some firms are learning the hard way :-)
[20:08:56] Juski: drdaz_: so long as you're paying for it :-)

[20:09:21] drdaz_: I am :)
[20:09:29] drdaz_: thats why I cant imagine they have any problem with it
[20:09:39] drdaz_: they can refuse support on it by all means
[20:10:00] RaYmAn-Bx: I think they only care if your hw causes problems for them
[20:10:25] RaYmAn-Bx: you aren't really allowed to use third party ADSL hardware either, but people do it happily and it works
[20:10:38] drdaz_: the rules say they reserve the right to examine your setup... the only thing there is concern about is reprogramming CAMs and cards I believe
[20:10:55] drdaz_: 3rd party adsl hardware?
[20:10:56] Juski: yeh NTL didn't support routers at first – but now everyone's got em
[20:11:06] RaYmAn-Bx: drdaz_: yes, like ADSL modems or adsl routers..
[20:11:24] drdaz_: oh u mean ones they didnt supply themselves
[20:11:31] RaYmAn-Bx: Juski: most providers here provide ADSL modems/routers for free (which you have to give back as well)

[20:12:37] RaYmAn-Bx: yeah, as I said, they only really care if the hardware you use cause problems for other people
[20:13:06] drdaz_: I expect thats why the support folks say that at selector HQ... they want to avoid using time on correcting issues they arent responsible for
[20:13:32] drdaz_: when I called them... I asked them if they used pairing
[20:13:33] thebrasse: Hello! Can someone tell me what my .lircrc files needs to look like in order to use MythTV's native lirc support (without irxevent)?
[20:13:59] thebrasse: Is there some documentation on .lircrc somewhere?
[20:14:01] RaYmAn-Bx: well, there's no reason to require that you buy one to get it, since you _buy_ it and hence keep the box..so if you have it, then stop having it and resubscribe you shouldn't really need to buy another box :P
[20:14:19] RaYmAn-Bx: thebrasse: .mythtv/lircrc is the correct file for mythtvs lirc support
[20:14:45] drdaz_: and after explaining what that was the chick told me that they didnt lock smartcards to STBs but that I could only use the card with an approved box
[20:15:18] RaYmAn-Bx: which again doesn't seem to be true :P
[20:15:40] drdaz_: actually.. that reminds me.. I use cybercity's IP phone solution... if u call a TDC line with it you get kicked!
[20:15:57] drdaz_: from the queue I mean.. not physically
[20:15:59] drdaz_: :p
[20:16:16] RaYmAn-Bx: what do you mean? (not that I have a tdc line anyways)
[20:16:39] drdaz_: not sure if its CC stopping me from sleeping with the enemy or TDC not wanting to have anything to do with CC customers..
[20:16:44] corpix: thebrasse, here is mine to give you an example (its huge!): http://pastebin.com/638496
[20:16:50] drdaz_: oh I mean if I call a support line from my CC line
[20:17:02] drdaz_: a TDC support line I mean
[20:17:11] RaYmAn-Bx: ah
[20:17:32] thebrasse: rayman, ok.. Is there some documentation on .mythtv/lircrc somewhere? The online docs doesn't really say much...
[20:17:47] thebrasse: corpix, thanks, I'll take a look.

[20:18:24] RaYmAn-Bx: thebrasse: as far as I can tell you simply need to use whatever keybindings you have as commands for lircrc
[20:22:21] thebrasse: hmm, IÃ'm guessing tht 'button' (in lircrc) is the lirc button name, config is what is supposed to happen when I press that button. What different values can prog have?
[20:22:45] RaYmAn-Bx: prog should be mythtv for mythtv..
[20:24:01] thebrasse: In corpix lircrc I can see irexec and mplayer as well..
[20:24:29] thebrasse: I would just like to know how it all fits together..
[20:24:39] corpix: thebrasse, sure
[20:25:03] RaYmAn-Bx: "prog =" defines which program the command is for..i.e. mythtv only picks up lircrc config entries that match "prog = mythtv"
[20:25:30] corpix: thebrasse, "play" wouldnt interfer with mythtv if its used for mplayer at a time
[20:25:51] corpix: but it _is_ sent to mythtv as well
[20:27:46] charmw: So, is there a config file I can edit for the Myth-Weather?
[20:28:06] charmw: Or does it depend on the locale I set on install???

[20:28:44] drdaz_: RaYmAn-Bx: another advantage to not using TDCs box is that there are a bunch of channels available on the cable that arent visible otherwise
[20:28:59] drdaz_: ie. TDC dont include them in their channel listings
[20:29:10] corpix: charmw, simply use the "configuration" menu, its stored in the mysql db

[20:29:26] charmw: corpix: the configuration menu times out
[20:29:42] corpix: charmw, then use a mysql shell
[20:29:49] charmw: but I know a but of mysql... okay thanks.
[20:29:56] drdaz_: for example... BBC Radio 1... I thought I'd lost that for good
[20:29:57] corpix: or fix your mythtv install
[20:30:14] drdaz_: it wasnt on their listing... but I found it using dvbscan :D
[20:31:31] thebrasse: corpix, so who actually sends the commands to mplayer (or xine in my case)? Would mythfrontend send commands to xine?

[20:32:18] corpix: thebrasse, your remote ;)
[20:32:26] corpix: then lirc
[20:33:04] kormoc: thebrasse, for mythvideo, you might want to just switch to the internal video player, so the generic mythtv remote config works the same in recorded tv and videos
[20:33:17] corpix: thebrasse, i never managed to make progs send lirc codes
[20:34:12] corpix: kormoc, hi ! its still a riddle for me to use internal, you said only type "internal" (without the ") in play command ?
[20:34:23] kormoc: yup
[20:34:37] corpix: hmm, still tells me "internal : command not found"
[20:34:59] corpix: is there a binary which is called by "internal" ?
[20:35:05] Juski: utils/settings > settings > media settings > video > playback is where you set that
[20:35:11] kormoc: corpix, nope
[20:35:21] Juski: there's no command as such to use mythtv's internal video player
[20:35:22] kormoc: corpix, try a capital I
[20:35:30] corpix: ok
[20:36:04] corpix: I: command not found
[20:36:13] Juski: Internal
[20:36:14] kormoc: Internal
[20:36:21] corpix: oh, ok ;)
[20:36:26] thebrasse: kormoc, is the internal player any good? =)
[20:36:42] kormoc: thebrasse, it's the same as when you watch recorded tv, I think so
[20:37:01] drdaz_: kormoc, it wont show menus yet will it?
[20:37:21] kormoc: drdaz_, menus? you mean for dvds?
[20:37:24] drdaz_: yep
[20:37:42] kormoc: right, it won't, but you can have mythtdvd use xine and mythvideo use the internal
[20:37:55] drdaz_: oh!
[20:37:59] drdaz_: hmm
[20:38:08] drdaz_: think I'll give that a shot actually
[20:38:19] corpix: kormoc, ok, _setting_ it works now, but it couldnt play anything
[20:38:31] kormoc: corpix, ooh?
[20:38:36] corpix: 2006-04–03 22:37:43.532 Could not open /media/cube/hdc1/.movies/movies_hdd6/somemovie.avi. 1 retries remaining.
[20:38:50] kormoc: and that file does exist?
[20:38:54] corpix: its mounted and accessible as user of course
[20:38:55] corpix: yes
[20:39:00] kormoc: and it's readable by the mythtv user?
[20:39:02] corpix: yes
[20:39:13] kormoc: the backend user?
[20:39:15] corpix: hmm, i go back to mplayer i think
[20:39:25] corpix: yes, since "mplayer" can read it
[20:39:29] kormoc: nope
[20:39:34] kormoc: mplayer will run as the frontend user
[20:39:44] kormoc: Internal will go via the backend iirc
[20:39:49] corpix: hmm, ok its 777 anyways
[20:39:56] kormoc: fair nuff
[20:40:26] drdaz_: kormoc, it uses the same deinterlace settings as when watching TV right?
[20:40:32] kormoc: wait, no it won't ever go as the backend, scratch that
[20:40:37] kormoc: drdaz_, aye
[20:40:49] drdaz_: kormoc, is there any way of telling it not to? :p
[20:40:54] kormoc: don't think so
[20:40:57] drdaz_: :(
[20:41:03] corpix: anyways, its not that bad, i just wanted to see how it looks
[20:41:30] corpix: have a lot of matroska files which could hardly played i guess

[20:56:03] kormoc: drdaz_, actually, deinterlacing I didn't think did anything when it wasn't interlaced, have you tried playing with the aspect ratio?
[20:56:12] kormoc: achew22, heh, g'luck with ti
[20:56:23] achew22: I got it working in 46 min
[20:56:36] achew22: thats 3days 5 hours faster than gentoo
[20:56:54] meushi: heh
[20:57:03] Anduin: In 15 years gentoo would have saved you that on ls alone.
[20:57:11] drdaz_: kormoc, it doesnt look like an AR issue... it looks alot like a deinterlacing thing
[20:57:29] kormoc: fair nuff
[20:57:40] achew22: Anduin but I just use it for mythtv
[20:57:42] achew22: nothing else

[22:10:37] Juski: couple of alignment issues that shouldn't take long to fix... lemme see
[22:11:04] Juski: eppler: in 0.19 everything is kept, but live recordings expire after 24 hours by default
[22:11:48] Juski: if you quit to the main menu I think the recording stops though
[22:11:51] eppler: juski: yes, but it doesn't record while i'm browsing the menus – i'll have several livetv 'chunks' – am i correct?
[22:11:54] Gurft: do plugins ever send anything to teh mythfrontend log?
[22:12:08] Juski: which is just one reason you should move into the 21st century & stop using livetv ;-)
[22:12:49] haj: Juski: it is a pretty neat feature :)
[22:13:17] Juski: haj: it'd be easy enough to code, but I can see all the complaints streaming in

[22:21:20] Gurft: haj... why not compile on another i386 box, then NFS mount and do the make install on the XBOX?
[22:22:01] haj: Gurft: that might work.. but i don't have any other machines running ubuntu :) and i bet the libraries will be incompatible.

[22:24:43] Gurft: Okay, NVIDIA overscan really stinks... I'm tryin got figure out how to get it to just scale vertically....
[22:25:18] haj: hm .. sourceforge cvs.. it has an uptime of like, 25% ? :)
[22:25:22] Juski: Gurft: you can't
[22:26:31] Juski: overscan so the vertical areas are filled, and take the hit on the sides. TV is supposed to be shown overscanned anyway – most TVs overscan by 5% in all directions – sometimes as much as 10% !
[22:27:07] Juski: if the mythtv UI doesn't fit, adjust the size in the appearances setup pages. If you want the desktop to fit – hard lines
[22:29:28] Juski: what'll also help is using a screen res with the right aspect ratio – e.g. 4:3 == 800x600; 16:9 ==1280x720 (etc)

[22:46:57] Gurft: mmm, sadly I'm no where near a good pint
[22:47:06] Juski: Gurft: it's usually caused by the capture card grabbing the whole of the active video signal – areas that don't necessarily have picture info on them
[22:47:11] mirak: corpix: I think I have done that already, but not installed mythtv
[22:47:22] mirak: in fact I am here on an old install, but something seems broken
[22:47:27] mirak: I use ubuntu
[22:47:31] Juski: Gurft: and those bits come out looking green or blueish depending on certain things
[22:47:32] Gurft: okay, cool, I overscanned it out :)
[22:48:11] Gurft: now, should I go through the motions of moving the directv box over from the Composite input to SVIDEO, or is it not worth my time?
[22:48:15] Juski: I use a 720x576 video mode on my EPia frontend – it fits absolutely perfectly with just under 5% overscan
