[00:01:34] achew22: scales: did you write it yourself or get one from the internet?
[00:01:54] achew22: opello: new news about my lack of sound... /dev/dsp is busy. Do you know what causes that?
[00:02:15] opello: achew22: lsof | grep dsp ?
[00:02:38] opello: seems like something is holding it open
[00:03:05] scales: it was taken from online but i edited it
[00:03:33] achew22: try the one you got straight from the internet
[00:03:37] achew22: change it one line at a time
[00:04:03] scales: hang on
[00:04:23] achew22: opello: 1st off, what is lsof? and 2nd no results
[00:04:39] opello: lsof lists open files
[00:04:46] achew22: hrm....
[00:06:07] patientfox: hey is anyone familiar with trying to start a video in mythvideo and having nothing happen... the screen darkens for a sec and it says it's loading, then it just goes back and nothing happens...
[00:06:23] patientfox: and the player settings are the default out of the box settings... i can get mplayer to work from xterm... any thoughts?
[00:06:50] achew22: opello: why does it say its busy then?

[00:12:00] butterfly_: I vote that someone please put in an option to restart mythfrontend to the mythweb :)
[00:12:32] opello: butterfly_: did you get it restarted?
[00:12:37] butterfly_: yes
[00:12:40] patientfox: is there any way to change mythvideo so it uses the older directory based display, instead of showing all the video files in one big group?
[00:12:56] butterfly_: thank you
[00:14:18] opello: np
[00:14:19] butterfly_: my hubby setup mythrename.pl which automatically renames the files to human readable .. that's how we can watch our shows in our bedroom on xbox.. the live tv nuv files are listed below all the other shows that are human readable renamed

[02:03:00] GreyFoxx: no idea
[02:03:05] mythvn: thanks
[02:03:35] GreyFoxx: any recordings from a mpeg source are written directly to disk and not manipulated
[02:03:47] GreyFoxx: so either vlc is messed up, or the video source is :)
[02:03:53] mythvn: i see
[02:04:25] mythvn: the source plays fine in mythfrontend
[02:04:34] mythvn: let me google and see what i can find out
[02:04:35] mythvn: thanks
[02:04:41] GreyFoxx: then I wouldsuspect a vlc problem

[02:57:37] Dagmar: Monitors have a vastly different gamma profile from television displays

[03:40:20] scales: and i say that /path/to/config.conf is /etc/lircd.conf, and i get the reply bash: lircd: command not found
[03:40:39] kormoc: do you have lirc installed?

[03:41:03] kormoc: well, are you root?
[03:41:05] scales: yes
[03:41:23] kormoc: you might want to see if lircd is in /usr/bin or /usr/sbin or /bin or /sbin
[03:41:34] scales: i can run /sbin/service lircd start
[03:41:52] scales: and that starts lirc
[03:41:57] kormoc: So then you just need to find the lircd
[03:42:06] scales: where should it be

[04:45:07] opello: well, i had: (select id, search from searches where search != "" order by id desc limit 5) order by id
[04:45:09] huhlig: question, is there a way to have mythtv-backend run turn a file in the pretty directory into a divx or similer format for transport?
[04:45:15] huhlig: or to run a script when idle?
[04:45:22] opello: to get the 5 recent and flip them so they're chronological
[04:46:13] opello: then i decided i should only have distinct searches, by mysql 4.0.27 didn't like that, so i was wondering if there was a workaround or something
[04:46:27] opello: peeling off the sort and flipping my display routine did the trick though :)
[04:46:37] achew22: huhlig run mythtv-setup and change one of your userjobs to do that

[04:47:53] huhlig: its there

[04:48:38] opello: xris: but that flips it before the 'limit 5'
[04:49:05] opello: and if i do () order by id, i have to select the id, which breaks on distinct it seems

[05:59:23] xris: nice
[05:59:32] marmoset: yeah, bought at the right time somehow
[05:59:33] xris: mine's gone from 237 to 303
[05:59:37] marmoset: wasn't even in the market
[05:59:40] coolego1: hmmm... I wonder how much resolution you would need to make a 64' tv look decent...
[05:59:41] achew22: huh yeah — syntax isn't too hard on that...
[05:59:50] achew22: all the %% stuff are vars for myth so don't change those
[05:59:50] xris: but a tiny house behind me just went for 300, so I know mine's worth more
[06:00:08] coolego1: probably at least 10,000 pixels across...
[06:00:47] achew22: huhlig: if its not in the /myth/tv folder it will be in tmp/fifodir_8242/
[06:01:11] huhlig: cant I just tell it to output elseware
[06:01:13] achew22: so if you want to change it you should change all the occurences of /tmp/fifodir_8242/ to /XXX/XXX/XXX

[06:02:00] xris: ok, I really want to know what broke ffmpeg AND transcode
[06:02:03] achew22: if you want I'll add a $5 that can be the folder you want to output to. but know that the folder that gets the output will be cleared out completely every time you run this (aka. don't make it your home folder)
[06:02:10] achew22: xris: it was the sound card

[06:02:30] achew22: why?
[06:02:37] xris: soundcard and gdm
[06:02:43] xris: gdm is still f'd up, though.
[06:03:14] coolego1: for some of us it's just easier to reinstall than screw around with it for hours... I've reinstalled mythdora and/or knoppmyth about 10 times in the last 3 days

[06:08:24] xris: the rest of it is generally in the nvidia-settings program

[06:09:38] xris: hmm, weird. freshrpms xvidcore library is just broken. atrpms works.
[06:10:28] coolego1: I just ran the nvidia-settings but in the display devices section, the TV out isn't listed. Is it detecting the tv out based on what's connected. I'm trying to use the svideo to composite cable so it shouldn't be able to get feedback from the devices
[06:12:00] xris: there is no svideo to composite cable.. the svideo-like plug on the card has extra pins, basically it's both svideo and composite... anyway, it should detect.
[06:12:45] xris: here's the device section from mine: http://pastebin.ca/66077

[06:39:10] Dagmar: Hoxzer: Most of them that have s-video output will just enable it automatically at boot in twinview mode if there's something connected to it.
[06:39:16] alieas: hi all
[06:41:23] alieas: is anybody using dvi -> hdmi? I can do it 1920x1080 on my windows box np. still trying with linux – randr says I'm in 800x600. I tell it to use other resolutions no prevail. Is adding custom modeline to xorg.conf required?
[06:42:13] xris: Dagmar: I can't get overscan to work automatically, but those numbers are from nvidia-settings
[06:42:52] Dagmar: Yeah, I noticed that myself. I've been setting it using nvidia-settings -l in the meantime, but it seemed to react rather poorly to me feeding X values larger than 1
[06:43:08] xris: Dagmar: same here
[06:43:18] Dagmar: THe next step for me is probably going to be to go ferreting around in the driver source
[06:43:30] xris: you have access to the driver source?
[06:44:56] Dagmar: I've got what I download from nVidia, the parts of which that are source seem pretty readable (and fairly commented)
[06:45:26] xris: I think that's the kernel interface layer
[06:45:31] xris: pretty sure the driver itself is binary
[06:45:56] Dagmar: Yeah, but the kernel interface layer... ah hell it's not like I'm doing anything important right now. I'll go look at it
[06:46:00] Dagmar: heh
[06:46:01] _splat1 is now known as splat1
[06:46:15] xris: heh
[06:50:21] Dagmar: Okay. In the past most of the objects the driver would recognize were exposed, but not anymore apparently
[06:50:30] Dagmar: The only bits I can really see now are the kernel module parameters.
[06:50:54] Dagmar: Either way, I've had reasonable success with taking the value it has in nvidia-settings and dividing by 255
[06:51:35] Dagmar: ...but I think it might just be broken, (or my TV is *that* damn cheap)

[09:18:15] grndslm: does it take up a lot more cpu than just blank frame
[09:18:28] lucas123: imho, all other methods are just completely broken.

[11:01:26] scopeuk: its a decoder
[11:01:37] Juski: so where's it's frickin output?
[11:01:45] scopeuk: your output is spat back through pc x then out through your normal gfx hardware
[11:01:53] Juski: bleh
[11:02:01] stuarta: better still, where's the input!
[11:02:24] Juski: much ado about nothing as yet innit
[11:02:27] scopeuk: over the bus
[11:02:45] Juski: single lane PCI-E.. ooo that'll be fast

[11:04:55] scopeuk: we could do with startigna fund for this sort of thing a piece of hardware with huge potential is lanched and we need to buy in to get even clsoed support
[11:05:09] scopeuk: Juski who knows
[11:05:20] scopeuk: i guess it could be modified to output in mpeg 2
[11:05:31] scopeuk: then decoe that with the gfx
[11:05:35] Juski: if they pay the licence fees yeah
[11:05:38] scopeuk: reduce bandwidth requirements
[11:05:48] Juski: does anyone know how to say "pie in the sky" ?

[11:07:38] Juski: a 6Ghz dual-core might just be the ticket
[11:07:59] scopeuk: yeh i mean the cost of that whould probabl be comparable with that card

[11:14:57] Juski: it's all academic anyway since there's not been any announcement about the final format of UK HD
[11:15:09] stuarta: since it's a reference design, it's basically got all the hardware you need to debug it attached I reckon

[12:32:49] Juski: that'd prolly explain why I couldn't get the mythtv user to startx properly at bootup time
[12:32:53] D-side: heh
[12:33:12] Juski: definitely explained why ssh wouldn't work for the mythtv user
[12:33:14] D-side: how long did it take you?
[12:33:25] Juski: a few hours, off & on
[12:33:32] D-side: heh. i've been there.
[12:33:36] Juski: just a process of elimination
[12:33:50] Juski: it was either that or something to do with PAM... glad it was the former
[12:34:30] D-side: indeed.
[12:34:46] Juski: just doing useradd mythtv isn't enough, obviously, so don't do it kids ;-)
[12:35:03] D-side: no adduser script on that distro?
[12:35:13] stuarta: Juski: adduser
[12:35:26] D-side: i think you said gentoo though, and that'd be a no.
[12:35:41] Juski: yup
[12:35:58] Juski: had to go back to (forgotten) basics
[12:36:14] stuarta: thou you can add flags to useradd to make it do it
[12:36:19] D-side: just a brief "duh" moment.
[12:36:41] stuarta: IIRC useradd -m -k /etc/skel -C "realname" username
[12:36:41] Juski: I used to do it in Unix many moons ago
[12:36:44] D-side: i have a stuck green pixel on my brand new ds lite and it makes me sad :(
[12:37:08] D-side: i dont htink you need to add the skel location, it'll default to /etc/skel
[12:37:30] D-side: and as for the rest of the syntax, i just don't know. i'd check the man page, but nah. ;)
[12:38:12] Juski: one more little niggle... when X starts it says 'no hostname', yet echo $HOSTNAME tells me the hostname my dhcp server assigns it
[12:38:41] stuarta: explicitly set it
[12:39:04] Juski: in the startx command you mean?
[12:39:19] stuarta: hostname
[12:39:38] D-side: Juski: hm. specify it in /etc/hosts ?
[12:39:42] stuarta: just on boot, set it to something, even if it's localhost
[12:40:02] Juski: so in other words put it in local.start or something?
[12:40:04] D-side: Juski: when you log in at the console, does it show the hostname as "$whatever.localdomain" ?

[12:53:04] D-side: not that i'm knocking it at all; i realize its damn impossible.

[12:56:40] Juski: that'll make things a hell of a lot easier for folks – when ivtv is in the standard kernel :-)

[16:37:39] tank-man: i read that too but i have a via kt133 and pvr250 working ok

[16:38:08] kormoc: tank-man, sure, it's possable, but there's been so many people with strange issues with vias
[16:38:24] denmaeth: so the card can right directly to the hard drive
[16:38:24] kormoc: not always, sometimes via's refuse to allow bus mastering, which is required for the pvrs
[16:39:03] kormoc: sometimes they refuse to listen to the pci latency request, so the kernel drivers think the pci is running and one speed and it's running at an entirely different speed

[16:48:13] kormoc: you could add it to your modules autoload file
[16:48:33] onetwo: do you mean modprobe.conf?
[16:48:38] kormoc: no

[16:49:24] kormoc: your distro has a file somewhere that does the same thing

[16:50:52] kormoc: my modprobe.conf is just alias and options and installs, nothing actually about loading of modules automatically

[16:52:01] kormoc: I really didn't think so

[17:04:11] dev: any of you guys have an idea as to why the starting channel on one of my slavebackends keeps reverting to channel 1 for no reason?
[17:04:22] dev: ive set it to channel 2 i cant even tell you how many times heh
[17:04:31] dev: and its just 1 tuner on 1 slavebackend that keeps doing it
[17:06:47] dev: its a problem because it mysteriously reverts to channel 1, sometimes after backend restarts, or reboots, and when you go to watch livetv it bitches its not in the database as a valid channel
[17:06:52] dev: i guess i could just add a channel 1 manually...
[17:07:29] dev: ive shut down all the backends and run mythtv-setup and changed it, still reverts. ive left everything running and changed it, still reverts

[17:13:11] dev: the problem is not the jobs, its that they dont complete when set to 'high' cpu usage in mythtv-setup
[17:13:13] tank-man: the rest will be queued
[17:13:14] dev: i have 4 tuners
[17:13:20] dev: want them flagging them on the fly
[17:13:34] dev: with 1 for reserve hehe
[17:13:38] tank-man: flagging on the fly uses more resorces
[17:13:52] dev: its a dual xeon 2.8 thats a dedicated mythbackend
[17:13:54] dev: it should be able to handle it
[17:14:05] dev: if an xp3200 can handle 2, this should be able to handle 5
[17:14:28] tank-man: i can onnly dream of those clock speeds :)
[17:14:40] dev: i just checked out latest -fixes and recompiled all the backends so i'll see if it comes up
[17:14:43] dev: maybe it was already fixed
[17:14:50] dev: i was many revisions behind, 9878
[17:15:26] dev: as long as nothing breaks this weekend i'll be happy
[17:15:33] dev: it can break all it wants next week. just not this weekend. le mans ;)
[17:15:49] dev: been having problems with the master backend just dieing out of nowhere
[17:16:08] dev: of course i enabled all logging and havent seen anything. but this mroning a slave backend just stopped responding
[17:16:16] dev: but i had the master at latest fixes and the slaves at 9878
[17:16:34] dev: so i brought them all up to the same revision heh.
[17:16:50] dev: i just couldnt do it with the slaves yesterday because they're almost always recording
[17:17:11] scopeuk: ok dumb question but why continue develope ment on 19.1 when the effort could gointo .20
[17:17:37] dev: 0.19.1 will be -fixes
[17:17:51] dev: its not really 'development', its a maintenance release
[17:18:03] cesman: what he said
[17:18:07] scopeuk: fair enough
[17:18:15] cesman: and 0.20 may still be a ways off
[17:18:21] scopeuk: fair eough
[17:19:31] dev: with all the problems i had going from 0.18 to 0.19 i may hold off on 0.20 for a bit when its released hehe
[17:19:54] dev: i really liked the way livetv worked in 0.19 so i had to update. dont see anything in 0.20 yet thats a must have
[17:19:57] scopeuk: my upgrade was fairly painless but then again im usign knoppmyth
[17:19:58] dev: i dont use dvb
[17:20:08] scopeuk: me either
[17:20:25] dev: thats the biggest thing ive seen with 0.20
[17:20:36] dev: its a must for dvb users
[17:20:59] dev: my problems with 0.19 were all io related
[17:21:15] dev: a single drive that 4 tuners recorded to and 4 commflag jobs accessed at a time

[17:21:37] dev: when top of the our or mid hour would hit it would take several seconds to switch fifos
[17:21:44] dev: *hour
[17:21:57] dev: if it even would switch..alot of times it would just lock
[17:22:16] dev: that problem is long gone with the new hardware hehe
[17:23:19] dev: not to mention ext3 sucks if you want quickness

[18:36:10] scales: ok back, so would it be a better idea to use it so i could control things like the dvd player or music player in mythtv? or are those things already controlled by mythtv
[18:36:46] scales: meaning would lirc automatically work for those without further configuration
[18:38:29] xris: scales: depends on what you use for the dvd player.
[18:39:08] scales: i am not sure what the default is, i never really set it up it just kinda worked
[18:39:09] xris: and you'd likely need to build your lirc control and possibly remap some keys in mythtv to unify the controls, since lirc won't be aware of a difference between mythtv's tv viewer and music player...
[18:39:30] xris: scales: dvd is either myth internal or mplayer.
[18:40:26] kormoc: xine also will work for dvd playing if you can get the command line right
[18:40:35] scales: probably is myth internal then? i dont think i chose mplayer, i followed jarod's fedora guide and think i just used what myth was default to
[18:40:54] kormoc: default is mplayer I beleive
[18:41:06] xris: scales: depends on what version of myth you're using.. I think internal is only default in svn (if that)
[18:41:31] scales: while the dvd did start up, it played in french so i still need to find the setting for that. i am using 0.19 i believe
[18:44:54] xris: scales: if it's mplayer, you'll likely need to build a separate lirc config section for it.
[18:45:17] scales: i see........... grrrrr
[18:46:10] xris: sample: http://svn.wilsonet.com/projects/mythtvology/ . . . pgrey-g3.txt
[18:46:48] scales: well, if i use the lircrc file that i just made for myth, and compile myth to support lirc, myth works, then could i just tweak/alter the lircrc file an not recompile myth?

[20:56:13] scales: i tried yum install lame, said there was nothing to do, i just need the mp3 encoder
[20:56:18] scales: does it come withlame?
[20:56:34] reze: why this MYTH_PROTO_VERSION-message? I have frontend and backend on the same machine and didn't change the "127.0.0.1" setting anywhere
[20:57:00] xris: scales: despite its name, lame is an mp3 encoder
[20:57:04] kormoc: reze, your backend and frontend are different versions
[20:57:07] xris: do you have lame installed?
[20:57:12] scales: ah
[20:57:14] scales: odd
[20:57:20] scales: i must not have typed it correctly
[20:57:27] scales: lame is installing :)
[20:57:37] reze: kormoc: but i only use the gentoo-ebuid it's the 0.19 version

[20:58:33] reze: restart the backend? why? I'll give it a try...

[21:02:26] kormoc: reze, you didn't try from source before the ebuild?
[21:03:49] reze: no ... i think there was an older version of mythtv on the system before ...0.18.xx because I wanted to try MythTv already some months ago but only merged it. Now I emerge sync'ed and updated MythTV
[21:04:57] reze: do I have to emerge -C mythtv before a new install? %-|
[21:05:12] reze: eh, before an update, I mean
[21:06:11] kormoc: you shouldn't
[21:06:25] reze: don't think so, too
[21:07:00] reze: perhaps the "ReadStringList timeout (quick)" message before is the key?

[21:10:13] scales: xine has more options? or vice versa

[21:10:40] kormoc: you might want ot just read up about them on their website
[21:10:45] dev: biggest difference is xine can do dvd menus
[21:10:45] xris: scales: they're both video player programs... xine : mplayer :: firefox : opera (or something like that)
[21:10:54] scales: ok
[21:10:59] scales: ah i see
[21:11:02] xris: scales: why are you compiling mythtv by hand in fedora?
[21:11:06] scales: so i should use xine :)
[21:11:08] Juski: re
[21:11:08] kormoc: dev, mplayer can mencode
[21:11:14] scales: humm
[21:11:15] scales: i see
[21:11:19] kormoc: mplayer also support win32 codecs
[21:11:22] scales: to each its own
[21:11:25] xris: kormoc: so does xine
[21:11:28] dev: xine supports win32 codesc
[21:11:37] scales: so use xine more for just dvd playback
[21:11:39] kormoc: xris, really? I was sure it wasn't done yet.
[21:11:46] kormoc: nifty
[21:11:55] xris: kormoc: I didn't know that mplayer did. xine has for years.
[21:11:58] Juski: who needs win32 codecs?
[21:12:05] dev: anyone who wants to play .mov heh
[21:12:11] Juski: blech
[21:12:20] kormoc: herm, I think that is backwards, mplayer was the first to do win32 codecs I thought
[21:12:33] dev: mplayer is older
[21:12:41] ** Juski senses a holy war is about to erupt & retreats **
[21:12:43] dev: so therefore yes it did do win32 codecs before xine :P
[21:13:13] xris: scales: back to the question.. why are you compiling mythtv from scratch?
[21:14:08] kormoc: dev, that's not always true, sometimes older projects absorb stuff newer projects invent
[21:14:38] dev: correct

[21:15:33] dev: i only use xines for dvds, mplayer for everything else
[21:15:34] scales: i have to compile lirc into it......yes?
[21:15:49] scales: or enable it rather
[21:15:56] dev: i didnt claim *everything* thats older has the stuff that newer programs do
[21:16:01] dev: just that mplayer did before xine heh
[21:16:12] dev: sheesh
[21:16:20] kormoc: well, how you put it was more akin to. mplayer is older, thus it was first
[21:16:25] xris: scales: atrpms packages have lirc included
[21:16:38] kormoc: it's just not really informative
[21:16:43] scales: i was following a tutorial because i have installed lirc, and made my own .conf file but when i launch myth it doesnt work
[21:17:03] xris: scales: you need to have an lircrc file configured for your remote, too
[21:17:03] scales: kormoc told me i should compile it
[21:17:10] scales: yep i got that
[21:17:13] xris: !trout kormoc
[21:17:13] ** MythLogBot slaps kormoc with a trout on behalf of xris... **
[21:17:22] kormoc: well, I said if it's not compiled with lirc support you need to compile it with lirc support
[21:17:28] scales: i see
[21:17:28] xris: ahh
[21:17:30] kormoc: I have no idea if yours is or not
[21:17:33] scales: uh huh
[21:17:42] scales: i did myth through yum
[21:17:52] xris: scales: I sent you a link to a sample lircrc file.
[21:17:56] scales: yes
[21:18:00] xris: you'll have to modify it to fit the buttons on your own remote
[21:18:08] xris: and put it in ~/.mythtv/lircrc
[21:18:11] scales: i had already used irrecord to make my own
[21:18:19] xris: scales: that's lirc.conf
[21:18:19] scales: that was the lircd.conf
[21:18:21] scales: right
[21:18:24] xris: lircrc is the per-program config
[21:18:37] reze: oh my god, I can watch TV !
[21:18:40] reze: xD
[21:18:48] scales: then i had already made an lircrc file and placed it in the ~/.mythtv/lircrc
[21:18:53] scales: well
[21:18:58] xris: here is the one I use
[21:18:59] xris: http://svn.mythtv.org/trac/browser/trunk/myth . . . mple.mceusb2
[21:19:07] reze: what are the keyboard-bindings for zapping channels?
[21:19:19] scales: just placed it in ~/.mythtv
[21:19:46] Juski: gardengnome: do you know if there's a xine keymap around for the zenega/s100 ?
[21:20:10] xris: scales: then it should work
[21:20:18] scales: xris: i have a lircrc file that i feel would work
[21:20:20] scales: humm
[21:20:21] xris: scales: have you tested that lirc itself is working, via irw?
[21:20:22] scales: yeah
[21:20:30] scales: and it does get the signals
[21:20:37] scales: it seems to check out
[21:20:43] scales: but just not when i start myth
[21:20:45] scales: now
[21:20:47] scales: before
[21:22:16] scales: i started myth, and left -v all, and when i looked in the junk, i found a few lines that said lircd error something about bad format. so i made a new one last night, replaced it, and now when i run myth, the remote doesnt work, but i do not get those same messages in the -v all junk

[21:43:43] bluef0x: i have no idea what that means
[21:44:45] xris: bluef0x: good beginner text editor is called nano... or you can use gedit if you prefer a gui
[21:44:58] xris: the yum config files are all just text files

[21:45:29] bluef0x: i cant figure out how to find that directory
[21:45:35] xris: wait, nevermind.. he tells you right there how to do it
[21:45:48] bluef0x: ohhhhhhhh
[21:45:52] xris: after the first paragraph in #6 there's a list of commands
[21:45:55] bluef0x: ok
[21:46:02] bluef0x: i thought i had to go to a folder and do that
[21:46:03] bluef0x: sorry
[21:46:05] bluef0x: thanks
[21:46:13] dev: directory
[21:46:22] dev: in unix they're directories not folders ;p
[21:46:46] xris: bluef0x: "cd" stands for "change directory"... like in the old dos days

[21:47:18] dev: to help the windows people
[21:47:25] dev: but the fact remains, in unix they're called directories
[21:47:32] dev: spin that however you want kormoc :P but thats the way it is
[21:47:42] dev: its not cf
[21:47:43] kormoc: actually, I don't think it's speced anyway
[21:47:44] dev: its cd
[21:47:44] xris: kormoc: folder refers to the graphical representation of a directory.
[21:48:01] xris: most people these days use the terms interchangeably, though
[21:48:05] bluef0x: i got it
[21:48:12] bluef0x: was a dumb little moment
[21:48:19] kormoc: fair nuff

[21:49:26] xris: bluef0x: what version of fedora?
[21:49:32] bluef0x: 4
[21:49:48] xris: then you have xorg, not xfree

[22:31:14] speedsix: xris, I fixed it by changing the English_GB.lang file to not translate movie>film. Not sure if this is the best way
[22:31:16] janneg: Juski: what are you trying to merge?
[22:31:49] Juski: janneg: xmodmap. got some keys to remap. it was in portage for xorg 6.8.2 last week I think but now it's not :-/
[22:32:05] janneg: it's probably a package that exists only for modular xorg
[22:32:07] Juski: so I have to upgrade to xorg 7.whatever
[22:32:28] Juski: it worked with 6.8.2 last week I'm sure of it
[22:32:58] janneg: if there was an ebuild you can get it from cvs
[22:33:30] Juski: erm... that's a new one for me
[22:33:59] janneg: the gentoo portage cvs
[22:34:18] janneg: Juski: but x11-base/xorg-x11–6.8.2-r7 (/usr/bin/xmodmap)
[22:34:50] janneg: xmodmap is in the old all in one ebuild
[22:34:59] Juski: ahhh

[23:13:33] grndslm: for anybody using ivtv drivers, specifically a pvr-150/500....is there any significant benefit with the 0.6.x drivers as opposed to the 0.4.x drivers??
[23:13:53] Juski: lol no. 0.6.x are for users of kernels > 2.6.15
[23:14:01] grndslm: i am currently using dapper drake, and wondering if the upgrade to the 2.16 kernel would be worth it
[23:14:10] grndslm: so, there's no benefit of upgrading the kernel
[23:14:53] Juski: if your box is working, not really

[23:16:01] grndslm: how do you guys encode analog stations?? in terms of rez, bitrate, etc.??
[23:16:17] Juski: full PAL res, <> 2mbits
[23:16:41] Juski: experiment to see what looks best to you for least disk usage
[23:17:11] grndslm: how many gigs/hr do you come up with that bitrate?
[23:17:20] Juski: about 2
[23:17:23] grndslm: whew
[23:17:33] Juski: HDD space is very cheap these days
[23:17:37] grndslm: aren't tivos around 1??
[23:17:49] Juski: no idea
[23:18:04] Juski: with over 600GB recordings space I can afford it :-P
[23:18:12] grndslm: i've got lvm setu with damn near a half a tb, but i was hoping to archive more than put shows on dvd....but dvd will prolly be the final route
[23:18:31] Juski: why bother? ;-)
[23:18:42] grndslm: do you keep in mpeg-4?
[23:19:00] Juski: I started out with grand visions of keeping stuff, but on reflection it's really not worth it IMHO
[23:20:22] grndslm: there's prolly only a couple shows i'd like to archive (that 70s show and boondocks), and they'd prolly be better on dvd anyway....
[23:20:44] grndslm: which tuner do you use?
[23:21:47] xris: grndslm: I archive to dvd... I encode to xvid avi and then burn those to dvd.  :)
[23:21:58] grndslm: what do you use for playback?
[23:22:05] xris: xine
[23:22:14] grndslm: any stand alones??
[23:22:15] xris: because I'm too lazy to set mythvideo back up
[23:22:32] D-side: heh
[23:22:47] grndslm: i'd like my discs to be fairly universal if i take 'em to a friend's house or somethin'
[23:23:40] grndslm: for conforming to standalone players, keeping 'em in mpeg4 would be best, no?
[23:24:03] grndslm: so long as they can play dvd-rs....
[23:24:12] xris: grndslm: depends on the container format and what kind of mpeg4 you're talking about
[23:24:16] xris: and what players.

[23:24:25] Juski: mpeg2 would be best for standalone players otherwise you will have to recode them to mpeg2
[23:24:55] grndslm: myth automatically records in mpeg2 or 4?
[23:25:23] kayelem: that's another "it depends", isn't it?
[23:25:33] kayelem: mine records mpeg2 as that's what I get off-air
[23:25:40] Juski: pvr cards & DVB tuners record mpeg2
[23:26:01] Juski: that's what you get over firewire too
[23:26:09] grndslm: i thought myth used to use nuv?
[23:26:10] Juski: (from cable boxen)
[23:26:17] Juski: nah
[23:26:21] xris: grndslm: nuv is a container format, not a video format
[23:26:36] xris: software encoders go into nuv containers as rtjpeg or divx video

[23:27:03] xris: hardware encoders, dvb, firewire all come in natively as mpeg2
[23:27:10] Juski: ach well.. not staying up all night watching X recompile, so night all
[23:27:21] xris: well, except for the plextor hardware encoder that does mpeg4

[23:29:21] grndslm: nobody knows what the tivo uses?
[23:29:36] grndslm: my girlfriend's looks pretty nice for only a gig/hr
[23:30:10] kayelem: off-air mpeg2 from my DVB-T card is about 1G/hour
[23:30:23] marmoset: grndslm: what setting does she have it on?
[23:30:40] marmoset: grndslm: I had my tivo on low quality, which was fine most of the time, and I think that was 1G/hour
[23:30:52] kayelem: then DVB-T in the UK is heavily compressed and shows artifacts
[23:31:04] marmoset: the default mpeg2 for a pvr250, which ends up 2.2GB/hr, isn't even comparable to the tivo output
[23:31:11] grndslm: i couldn't tell ya all that...i just know the playback was extremely impressive....no motion blur like with myth....
[23:31:28] kayelem: I'm likely to bolt a wok on a south-facing wall and get a DVB-S card; I gather they compress less
[23:31:32] marmoset: grndslm: I mean, the tivo output is like 100x better than myth low quality
[23:31:34] marmoset: er
[23:31:35] marmoset: heh
[23:31:37] marmoset: reveruse
[23:31:37] marmoset: d
[23:31:47] marmoset: I mean, the myth output is 100x better than the tivo low quality
[23:31:58] marmoset: I couldn't watch tivo on my 52" tv, it was way too blocky
[23:32:25] kayelem: I don't see any motion blur with my myth box; was watching motor racing last night and it'd show on that
[23:32:45] marmoset: grndslm: was it motion blur you were seeing, or interlace stuff?
[23:33:08] kayelem: I have interlaced DVB-T feed ->interlaced PAL TV so there's nothing odd going on
[23:33:24] grndslm: i dunno, really...i just know when anything moves, all the outlines of objects get really blocky...like steps
[23:33:38] kayelem: sounds more like an interlacing issue
[23:33:40] marmoset: grndslm: be sure you enable deinterlacing on the frontend, and possibly denoising too, IMO it looks better than uncompressed live TV
[23:34:03] marmoset: (for regular SD)
[23:34:29] grndslm: kernel or bob is supposed to be the best right....i should just see which one works the best of those 2?
[23:34:33] kayelem: I get this "combing" effect on moving vertical edges if a) I have deinterlace off and watch on a progressive monitor or b) watch on an interlaced TV with deinterlace on.
[23:34:55] grndslm: solutions?
[23:35:01] marmoset: grndslm: yeah, just try them both, I can't remember which is better
[23:35:17] kayelem: deinterlacing is really for watching on progressive displays, yeah?
[23:35:28] grndslm: progressive display is what??? an lcd?
[23:35:32] grndslm: anything other than a tube?

[23:36:46] grndslm: fedora?
[23:37:13] grndslm: i really want a 2.16 kernel because it's got support for the pvr150
[23:37:20] grndslm: but i guess if it ain't broke, don't fix it
[23:37:39] xris: grndslm: 150 works fine in 2.4
[23:37:41] kayelem: I've been playing with knoppmyth but I'm going to set up a slackware box; mostly as that's the distro i know best
[23:37:55] Dibblah: I'm assuming "hondaman" isn't here ;)
[23:38:06] kayelem: knoppmyth's good for trying things out quickly, ime; but I keep breaking it when i hack about with it.

[23:38:59] grndslm: i was too limited/ too focused
[23:39:30] xris: grndslm: why not just upgrade to the latest ubuntu?
[23:39:52] grndslm: that's what i'm using...but i wanted to try the 2.16 kernel....
[23:40:02] grndslm: i guess i could upgrade it, but i dunno....
[23:40:36] grndslm: fedora is going to be built around the 2.16 kernel, whereas dapper will be around the 2.15 kernel....and i read that true 150/500 support didn't come until the 2.16 branch
[23:41:10] xris: grndslm: you mean 2.6.16? I've been reading that as 2.6
[23:41:33] grndslm: yea, my bad...my eyes are a little lazy right now
[23:42:18] grndslm: anyway....does anybody have a pvr-500??
[23:42:40] grndslm: i have a problem when adding my second tuner in the mythsetup
[23:43:13] xris: grndslm: again, though.. pvr-150 works fine with older kernels.. you just don't get the latest driver.
[23:43:18] gardengnome: Juski: i haven't seen a keymap for xine yet, but that doesn't mean anything.
[23:43:45] grndslm: i can get it to work occasionally after repeatedly changing both of the tuners to /dev/video1, but it always reverts to /dev/video0
[23:43:52] grndslm: which version of the driver should i get?
[23:44:08] grndslm: 0.4.2, 0.4.0?
[23:44:55] kayelem: I've never had any problem upgrading kernels (or patching them heavily) with slackware
[23:45:27] kayelem: I like it as it uses vanilla kernels, can be handy when you need specific patches for stuff or very recent kernels
[23:45:41] xris: grndslm: whichever one works best
[23:45:46] grndslm: wow...i wonder if i'll ever have the balls to patch my kernel heavily
[23:46:11] kayelem: grndslm, you'd have to if you try using a Linux box for multitrack audio mixing...
[23:46:20] grndslm: does anybody know for sure which version of the ivtv driver will work best with a pvr-500
