[01:45:08] tank-man: press e while watching
[01:46:14] PaulWay[w]: Then 'z' (I think) includes any commercial-flagged regions automatically.
[01:46:27] PaulWay[w]: Check them, because they're not always right.

[05:16:29] __rich__: has anyone ever been electrically shocked by their cable coaxial? Is that normal, or does that indicate that there is a grounding problem?
[05:16:44] __rich__: no friggin way I'm connecting that thing to my computer
[05:17:22] tank-man: no. idon't know
[05:21:21] Agrajag-: __rich__: yeah i do
[05:21:36] Agrajag-: __rich__: like i feel a fairly strongish tingling when i touch it
[05:21:43] __rich__: that's what I get
[05:21:53] Agrajag-: i've got mine connected fine :)
[05:22:01] NeTTwerk: ugh
[05:22:37] __rich__: I think i'm going to wire it through my surge protector to see if that properly grounds it. I hate to add another connection, though...the signal is shit as it is, especially split between two tuners in my pvr500
[05:23:40] __rich__: but last night I connected the coax directly to my tuner, and this morning the hard drive I was using as a root and boot filesystem was toast
[05:24:59] __rich__: when I connect it to my cable box, I see a small blue arc of electricity when contact is made
[05:26:31] NeTTwerk: fack
[05:27:06] Agrajag-: __rich__: hmm doesn't sound good. i assumed it was supposed to be like that, heh

[05:33:28] __rich__: I'll call my cable company and check
[05:33:38] __rich__: I'm not electronics whiz
[05:34:58] John1: rich..
[05:35:07] John1: I had the problem at an apartment
[05:35:18] John1: I used aligator clips connected to the outside of the case and to the outside of the coax
[05:35:28] John1: I hooked those together.. making a common ground
[05:35:58] John1: then, I'd connect the cable to the card (if I didn't do that, it'd shut the computer down from the voltage difference)
[05:36:24] John1: but.. yea, might want to talk to an electrician or the cable company – see if they can professionally ground the two systems together :)
[05:37:08] __rich__: when you say the "outside of the coax", do you just mean on the plastic shielding?
[05:37:40] John1: no, the metal part that screws onto the coax connection
[05:37:48] __rich__: oh i see, that makes more sense
[05:38:02] John1: I don't know how bad the difference is between the inside signal, though
[05:38:30] __rich__: well this cable is extended about three times from the other side of the house from the outside , through the basement and up to the living room
[05:38:49] __rich__: ground is probably screwed up somewhere along there
[05:39:04] John1: sounds like it, heh

[06:17:06] PaulWay[w]: I always do my transcoding after I've put in my cut list to remove the ads and save some more space.

[06:20:54] JohnQ: I'm not intending to KEEP these recordings longterm.. just wanna save a bit of space... and keep the myth box busy as I sleep :-)
[06:21:26] JohnQ: When you say "Begin Transcoding" is that a "start NOW" or a "Add to the queue" type of "begin"?
[06:25:48] JohnQ: Now if I can just figure out how to make it automagically transcode after the comertial flagging..
[06:31:43] tank-man: you can have it auto transcode but it will be with commercials, but you can have it skip commercials on play back
[06:33:22] JohnQ: Ya.. thats what I wanna do, but for whatever reason, it doesnt auto transcode.
[06:38:52] exmod (exmod!n=juski@spc2-salf1-0-0-cust442.bagu.broadband.ntl.com) has joined #mythtv-users
[06:39:30] exmod: you know... transcoding only works if you specify a transcoding profile before you attempt to do any transcoding
[06:40:06] PaulWay[w]: "Begin Transcoding" means "Add to the queue", above, there. JohnQ.
[06:40:23] PaulWay[w]: exmod: No, if one isn't specified it'll use the default.
[06:40:36] PaulWay[w]: If you haven't set up a default then I don't know what happens.
[06:40:41] PaulWay[w]: Probably doesn't transcode, as you say.
[06:41:05] defaultro: if you were to choose guys for your new computer, Intel or AMD cpu?
[06:41:10] exmod: if you haven't set up the default it won't do anything apart from fail to transcode saying 'unknown video codec'
[06:41:17] PaulWay[w]: I have a feeling getting it to auto transcode is a setting in the back end config.
[06:41:22] PaulWay[w]: defaultro: AMD every time.
[06:41:28] der_oschni (der_oschni!n=oschni@caesar.powerbrand.de) has joined #mythtv-users
[06:41:28] defaultro: ok
[06:41:30] PaulWay[w]: Intel are too expensive.
[06:41:36] defaultro: that's what i saw too
[06:41:39] defaultro: it's too expensive
[06:41:40] exmod: I'd choose whichever runs coolest at idle
[06:41:50] PaulWay[w]: Which is also another good point.
[06:42:04] defaultro: k
[06:42:15] exmod: I'm sick of AMD XP CPUs based systems pulling 120W from the mains
[06:42:31] PaulWay[w]: In which case you'd pay much more for a Pentium M rather than get a cheap AMD.
[06:42:37] defaultro: i'm thinking of going with AMD which is AM2 based
[06:43:00] defaultro: i was really happy with my amd 3000+
[06:43:04] exmod: apparently AMD chips are better now for that, but better than intel?
[06:43:15] PaulWay[w]: I personally think the low-end AM2-based AMD processors are enough for everyone.
[06:43:22] defaultro: it was an athlon
[06:43:36] exmod: one thing I DO know... I won't be expecting to get much gain from moving to 64-bit
[06:43:37] PaulWay[w]: Enough computing power without sucking the juice or blowing the heat.
[06:43:41] defaultro: then i'll get gigabyte again
[06:43:44] PaulWay[w]: Yep.
[06:44:06] defaultro: this is what am planning for my next machine, http://www.gigabyte-usa.com/Products/Motherbo . . . oductID=2310
[06:44:19] PaulWay[w]: exmod: 64-bit really only roxors if you've got specially designed applications or need more than 4GB per process.
[06:44:47] PaulWay[w]: Are you planning on using two video cards in it?
[06:44:58] PaulWay[w]: Is it a dedicated front end or a games machine as well?
[06:45:17] defaultro: i still don't konw
[06:45:19] defaultro: :)
[06:45:23] exmod: PaulWay[w]: you mean, apart from the fact that some stuff mythtv relies on doesn't do 64-bit well
[06:45:24] ikke (ikke!n=ikke@xdsl-205-40.nblnetworks.fi) has joined #mythtv-users
[06:45:25] defaultro: maybe games
[06:45:33] defaultro: or maybe as backend
[06:45:33] exmod: defaultro: ooo as many as TWO PCI slots? eew
[06:45:39] PaulWay[w]: exmod: Yes, that too.
[06:46:01] exmod: 64-bit still hasn't happened properly yet IMHO
[06:46:02] PaulWay[w]: defaultro: It's your money, but IMO a SLI system is wasted on MythTV.
[06:46:02] defaultro: i don't know where i'm going to use that machine yet LOL
[06:46:11] defaultro: yep
[06:46:16] defaultro: we don't need SLI for myth
[06:46:25] defaultro: my agp 6600 is doing a good job
[06:46:28] PaulWay[w]: exmod: The problem is that half of the codec code is still assuming 32-bit-ness.
[06:46:32] exmod: having only 2 PCI slots rules it out as a backend.. unless you're only gonna have dual tuners
[06:46:45] defaultro: yep, thanks for catching that
[06:46:48] PaulWay[w]: Depends on how many channels you want to record simultaneously.
[06:47:04] defaultro: well, i have to find a multituner HDTV then
[06:47:05] defaultro: :D
[06:47:18] defaultro: something that supports ATSC and QAM
[06:47:27] PaulWay[w]: I believe the PC-3000 cards do that...
[06:47:29] defaultro: 2 of those, I get 4 tuners
[06:47:38] defaultro: i might go with Dvico again
[06:47:50] exmod: I'd recommend 2 tuners as a minimum – I know you can have multiple backends but why should you have to?
[06:48:06] defaultro: yeah, good point
[06:48:29] exmod: as for the new motherboards these days – it'd be nice if they didn't concentrate so much on gaming ricer stuff
[06:48:42] defaultro: ah
[06:49:44] defaultro: i was lucky then with my old mobo, i got 4 pci and 1 agp
[06:50:04] defaultro: i have one more pci unused but it's being blocked by my spdif output
[06:50:28] exmod: heh
[06:50:37] defaultro: oh no, i have 5
[06:50:39] defaultro: :P
[06:50:48] exmod: and wtf is this all about? "Enhances security with NVIDIA TCP/IP Acceleration technology"... doesn't sound very usable in Linux whatever it is
[06:50:51] defaultro: look at my picture below, http://restricted.dyndns.org/pvr.html
[06:51:04] defaultro: yeah, it's all crap
[06:51:06] PaulWay[w]: Sorry, the HD-5500 seems to be the latest incarnation. Only has one tuner though.
[06:51:28] defaultro: ok
[06:51:43] PaulWay[w]: The DViCO Fusion* cards work well, I believe.
[06:51:53] defaultro: yes, i have that
[06:52:08] defaultro: you can see all my cards on the link i provided
[06:52:13] exmod: well yeah – the biggest market for them is the MCE market – and that can only support 2 tuners :-]
[06:52:28] defaultro: MCE is the microsoft right?
[06:52:47] exmod: yup
[06:54:01] exmod: defaultro: that linky not worky
[06:54:07] defaultro: hmm
[06:54:11] defaultro: what's the error?
[06:54:25] PaulWay[w]: defaultro: Link worked fine for me.
[06:54:35] PaulWay[w]: I have a feeling you've mislabelled the inputs, though.
[06:54:43] defaultro: you are correct
[06:54:45] PaulWay[w]: Which card does the comcast cable go into?
[06:54:46] defaultro: i noticed it only now :D
[06:55:05] defaultro: the internal is labeled wrong
[06:55:23] defaultro: right now, I'm looking for my original picture

[08:19:57] Davo_Souvlaki: i followed this guide: http://www.mythtv.org/docs/mythtv-HOWTO-3.html but it didnt help
[08:20:24] Anduin: benderz0r: You have no sound card?
[08:20:43] exmod: any guide that tells you to do stuff without telling you _why_ you're doing it is bound to cause problems
[08:21:06] Davo_Souvlaki: yeah it would be nice to know the why part
[08:21:11] exmod: wireddd: no idea. #1 suspect would be the firmware – try newer
[08:21:39] wireddd: hmm it isn't in the mpegs, it must be some kind of a problem with my sound card
[08:21:39] benderz0r: Anduin: I have a sound card, though the cable bought (by some one not me) is rca
[08:22:14] exmod: benderz0r: so buy a new cable, or get a 3.5mm stereo jack to phono (rca) adapter
[08:22:43] benderz0r: exmod: the 'cost more monies' solution isn't really on the table, at least for awhile :|
[08:22:45] Davo_Souvlaki: i tried "apt-get build-dep mythtv" but it said: "E: Unable to find a source package for mythtv"
[08:22:51] Davo_Souvlaki: how can i fix that?
[08:22:56] Anduin: benderz0r: The 350 expects to be fed MPEG data, not PCM directly.
[08:23:03] benderz0r: one can enable out bound sound on the 350 if the tv out is enabled, whhy not normally
[08:23:09] exmod: benderz0r: cost more monies? what? how much would you spend on a bit of copper wire?
[08:23:10] wireddd: Davo_Souvlaki, you are way past that
[08:23:16] Davo_Souvlaki: wat now then?
[08:23:19] benderz0r: Anduin: I only need tv and recorded programs to out put sound :|
[08:23:41] exmod: $2 buys you a lead to tide you over, benderz0r
[08:23:43] benderz0r: exmod: I didn't spend it, I suggested it was a bad time... 50$ on a 20m three wire rca
[08:23:57] benderz0r: bad idea at the time*
[08:24:01] exmod: so buy an adapter... hell even radioshite sell them
[08:24:06] Davo_Souvlaki: wireddd: MythTV wont get past the initial setup, probably due to the database stuff
[08:24:08] Anduin: benderz0r: When TV out is enabled it is sending the MEPG data to the card it decodes it and output video/sound
[08:24:20] wireddd: Davo_Souvlaki, you need to figure out what username /password will let you login to mysql so you can import the database
[08:24:30] exmod: anyway how come you're not using the pvr350 for tv out? ;)
[08:24:39] benderz0r: exmod: the adapter in question costs $30 locally and 15$ + shipping + time
[08:24:51] benderz0r: exmod: it doesn't seem to like me, that would be the best solution
[08:25:05] Davo_Souvlaki: wireddd: i think its root for username and [blank] for the password
[08:25:06] exmod: benderz0r: no frigging way. a stereo jack to rca socket adapter? ROFLMAO
[08:25:21] benderz0r: exmod: I set it to use tv out on it and it just doesn't show up on the tv and the tv doesn't work (you go to watch tv and it's blank and times out)
[08:25:29] exmod: or would that be for "the emperor's new cable" solution from 'Monster' ?
[08:25:31] Anduin: even radio shack would only get you for $5
[08:25:32] benderz0r: exmod: you haven't been to australia have you?
[08:25:32] Davo_Souvlaki: wireddd: wat do i do with that now
[08:25:34] Davo_Souvlaki: ?
[08:25:34] wireddd: what happens if you do "mysql" as root

[08:26:18] benderz0r: yes, and they are pricks...they are a joke of what they used to be, you can hardly even get simple items from them any more
[08:26:21] exmod: you are over-egging the situation methinks
[08:26:32] benderz0r: the best option about is jaycar though they are the ones that have to order it in
[08:26:55] exmod: you could make one – if you can solder it's a good way to get one
[08:26:57] benderz0r: exmod: I lie not, if I had time I'd scan the prices for you

[08:33:26] benderz0r: mmm get an odd error along the lines of ringbuf(somefile) : invalid file (fd 17) when opening 'same file'.
[08:33:36] benderz0r: anyway I've got to wander off
[08:33:43] exmod: benderz0r: mythbackend is still running I bet
[08:33:55] exmod: Davo_Souvlaki: which distro?
[08:34:03] benderz0r: exmod: yes, and?
[08:34:09] Davo_Souvlaki: my distro: debian testing
[08:34:22] exmod: benderz0r: only one process can use a device at a time in most cases
[08:34:31] benderz0r: kk
[08:34:35] asfui: Davo_Souvlaki: if you have it added to the runlevel, you have to run the init script with stop parameter
[08:34:37] exmod: Davo_Souvlaki: prolly /etc/init.d/mysql stop
[08:34:55] asfui: Davo_Souvlaki: something like /etc/init.d/mysqld stop
[08:35:09] exmod: why are folks using distro they don't know how to use? oops. I am too
[08:35:50] benderz0r: later all
[08:35:54] benderz0r: thanks for the help
[08:35:55] Davo_Souvlaki: exmod: because its a good way to learn
[08:35:57] Davo_Souvlaki: cya
[08:35:58] exmod: later benderz0r
[08:36:02] Davo_Souvlaki: /etc/init.d/mysql stop seemed to work
[08:36:11] exmod: Davo_Souvlaki: cool – you learnt something
[08:36:12] Davo_Souvlaki: wat next?

[10:09:46] jammyd: Merlin83b: Is there a page anywhere tracking the progress of the myth SoC projects?

[12:24:12] Beirdo: and because it's planar, I need to transfer each plane separately
[12:24:24] Beirdo: janneg, hmmm, what happens?
[12:25:04] GreyFoxx: Beirdo: Well I guess the more time it spends on the GPU being manipulated the less painfull that GPU->CPU traffic will be overall
[12:25:05] janneg: it fails with invalid command GLend
[12:25:16] Beirdo: glEnd?
[12:25:19] Beirdo: hmm
[12:25:29] janneg: yes
[12:25:50] Aid` (Aid`!n=Aid@sonic.dsnet.us) has joined #mythtv-users
[12:26:06] Beirdo: how odd, wonder what its issue is. be aware that the svn is being updated a lot though, an update may fix that
[12:26:25] Beirdo: I should get you to send me the output for glewinfo for that card
[12:26:59] janneg: tested revision 50, and will do
[12:27:51] Beirdo: OK, that may have been while it was kinda busted, let me look
[12:28:35] Beirdo: hmmm, no, that one "should" work, worked on both my cards.
[12:28:56] Beirdo: I guess glewinfo and a dump of the log for the run might be instructive
[12:29:30] Beirdo: one thing to watch out for, if it dies an unnatural death, ipcs will show IPC shm and IPC message queues not cleaned up
[12:29:39] Beirdo: you'd have to remove them with ipcrm
[12:30:01] Beirdo: it's annoying, but the only sane way I could find to pass the data between the processes
[12:30:12] janneg: the exact error is [9472] <0> OpenGL ERROR 0502: invalid operation (Label: glEnd)
[12:30:18] Beirdo: I wish openGL would let me have multiple contexts in separate threads
[12:31:03] Beirdo: OK, that generally means there's an error between the glBegin and glEnd. I guess an svn up would be the place to start
[12:34:19] janneg: full log: http://pastebin.ca/131257
[12:34:33] Beirdo: thanks ;)
[12:35:58] Beirdo: how odd
[12:36:37] janneg: and mailed glewinfo
[12:36:53] Beirdo: oh, right now, it will write each frame to a .ppm file in a subdir of the pwd (out/)
[12:37:09] Beirdo: which will get big fast
[12:38:00] Beirdo: weird, it identified your card as PCI when it's PCIe? go, nvidia
[12:38:48] janneg: yes, it's PCIe.
[12:38:51] Beirdo: OK, we are using the same nvidia driver version, that's good
[12:40:20] janneg: I'm using a never ffmpeg. I had to switch the ffmpeg configure parts to pkconfig
[12:40:40] Beirdo: ahh
[12:40:57] Beirdo: I doubt that would cause that problem, that would just affect decoding right now
[12:41:57] janneg: I doubt it too, just FYI
[12:42:08] Beirdo: hmm. unless the Cg failed. that could be an issue
[12:43:00] Beirdo: I think if the fragment program doesn't get properly loaded, OpenGL may raise that error when you try to use it.
[12:43:08] Beirdo: I'll put in more error checking on the Cg part
[12:45:15] Beirdo: so I take it you figured it out so far without any docs :) heh
[12:47:20] janneg: in this case source was enough documentation
[12:47:25] Beirdo: good :)
[12:47:48] Beirdo: it's getting a bit complex, but I think it still is possible to follow... for now
[12:53:57] Beirdo: OK, just checked in the error handler for Cg
[12:54:43] janneg: <0> Cg error: CG ERROR : The file could not be read.
[12:54:57] Beirdo: oh?
[12:55:02] Beirdo: OK, that could be an issue
[12:55:17] Beirdo: hmmm, it tries to read the .cg file from the current directory

[12:57:16] janneg: [9863] <0> 1950 frames in 40.449455 (48.21 FPS) doesn't look that fast for format conversions
[12:57:39] Beirdo: it's not converting, and that's likely being limited by the system bus
[12:57:51] Beirdo: although I'd expect PCIe can do a bit better
[12:58:08] Beirdo: you are also transferring larger frames than I am
[12:58:36] Beirdo: my numbers were with 624x464 frames
[12:58:47] Beirdo: hmm, we'll work on it :)
[13:00:03] janneg: it's even slower if I write the ppm, i.e. after mkdir out
[13:00:21] Beirdo: heh.
[13:00:37] Beirdo: yeah, feel free to #if 0 the line where it does videoOut()

[13:01:46] Beirdo: even faster than my AMD64 3200+
[13:01:54] Beirdo: so it shouldn't be being affected by that
[13:02:37] Beirdo: ffmpeg is used to decode the video to YUV420P (the default for mpeg decoding anyways)
[13:03:06] Beirdo: I feed the three planes to the GPU, combine them into one buffer in the GPU, then pull three planes back from the GPU
[13:03:22] Beirdo: then convert to RGB with ffmpeg to make the ppm files

[13:03:59] Beirdo: it was the only easy way to determine if the output was successful, but GOD it takes a lot of space to store RGB24 :)
[13:04:56] janneg: yeah. without video_out it is 58fps, using 110–120 percent cpu
[13:04:58] Beirdo: oh, it actually will load 2 frames into the GPU (somewhat smartly) as I will need the previous frame also once I get some motion estimation into there
[13:05:14] Beirdo: yeah, ffmpeg decoding like mad :)
[13:05:16] Beirdo: heh
[13:06:00] Beirdo: I'm hoping that once the frames are IN the GPU, the processing there will be quick enough that the limiting factor remains the transfer to/from the GPU
[13:06:28] Beirdo: only one way to know, and that is to code it :)
[13:07:11] Beirdo: I pity anyone who tries this with an old VIA chipset
[13:07:20] Beirdo: the DMA controller will likely fall over
[13:07:44] GreyFoxx: So, do you see this as something that can be usefully used with multiple GPU's?
[13:07:49] Beirdo: yes
[13:08:10] Beirdo: my testing currently uses the 6600 and the FX5200 at the same time
[13:08:19] Beirdo: I feed a frame to whichever is ready
[13:08:57] Beirdo: using 2 or more will effect efficiency of loading the previous frame as it won't necessarily be already loaded, but still should speed things up
[13:09:12] Beirdo: sorry, FX5500
[13:09:16] ** Beirdo slaps himself **
[13:09:17] GreyFoxx: but we'd still be killing the bus
[13:09:32] Beirdo: yeah, nothing I can think of to fix that... yet
[13:09:44] GreyFoxx: and no chance of using this with GF4 MX440's ?:)
[13:09:48] Beirdo: if we can implement the MPEG decoding...
[13:10:06] Beirdo: nah, it won't support the fragment processor being programmed
[13:10:07] Beirdo: ;(
[13:10:31] Beirdo: can likely do SOMETHING with it with the vertex processor, but I'm not sure how much
[13:10:51] Beirdo: it has register combiners for the fragments, and some limited texturing IIRC
[13:10:53] GreyFoxx: I'm currently curious about scaling and format conversions on the mx440
[13:11:01] Beirdo: ah
[13:11:16] Beirdo: format conversion you should be able to do, I'd hope
[13:11:38] Beirdo: but I'm not sure how as that normally gets done in the fragment processor
[13:11:39] Beirdo: hmmm
[13:11:40] GreyFoxx: Hmmmm well doesn't XvMC use GL textures on teh card ?
[13:11:48] Beirdo: I think so
[13:12:04] Beirdo: with the register combining, you can likely get it to do simple math
[13:12:14] Beirdo: and RGB->YUV is simple math
[13:12:35] Beirdo: not sure how to pull the frame back out though
[13:12:37] Beirdo: hmmm
[13:13:03] GreyFoxx: Cg available on Nvidia's site somewhere ?

[13:14:32] Beirdo: not the most elegant packaging, but it works
[13:14:44] Beirdo: or as an RPM
[13:15:08] GreyFoxx: Beirdo: Well, I run Slackware and that's how it packages stuff so I can using the slackare packaging to add/remove it :)
[13:15:24] Beirdo: perfect for you then
[13:15:30] GreyFoxx: You running 1.5 beta 1 or 2 ?
[13:15:35] Beirdo: 1.4.1

[13:29:11] Beirdo: hmm
[13:29:27] Beirdo: shouldn't be
[13:30:10] Beirdo: when I tested here with the loadFrame and unloadFrame (in render_child.c) #if 0'd out, I got about 120fps on each "card"
[13:30:25] Beirdo: although, you'll need to un-#if 0 the usleep(1000) for that
[13:31:00] Beirdo: so the bottleneck seemed to have been in the GPU->CPU direction for me on AGP and PCI
[13:33:40] janneg: 282.25 FPS with one card, which is only slightly better than 240fps
[13:36:47] janneg: 248.67 FPS with the usleep
[13:36:54] Beirdo: OK
[13:37:14] Beirdo: the usleep is necessary if you use more than one card otherwise one "card" will hog the message queue
[13:37:42] Beirdo: card 0 has inherent priority over card 1 in the message queue, so card 1 would suffer :)
[13:38:45] Beirdo: so the infrastructure poses a framerate limitation as well
[13:39:00] Beirdo: some of that will obviously be ffmpeg's decoding
[13:39:32] Beirdo: which, if we could do that in the GPU... wouldn't be as much of an issue
[13:39:57] Beirdo: I'd like to do it in the GPU, but the complexity of MPEG decoding hurts the brain
[13:40:00] janneg: but will involve a lot of codinf
[13:40:13] Beirdo: yup
[13:40:15] janneg: ^H
[13:40:36] Beirdo: which is why I wanted to start with something a bit milder and do motion estimation/denoising first
[13:41:16] Beirdo: for a first attempt, I think I'll take the algorithm yuvdenoise uses and implement
[13:41:49] Beirdo: which will require some subsampling, etc
[13:41:51] Beirdo: fun stuff
[13:42:14] Beirdo: but first, I need a BIG pot of coffee :)
[13:43:40] janneg: since the decoding is not the limiting factor and the throughput is roughly the same regardless of the gpu interface
[13:43:40] Beirdo: the nice thing about using ffmpeg to decode is that I can mess with video from many different sources
[13:44:31] janneg: it might be a hardware limitation or some software issue in kernel, nvidia-drivers...
[13:44:39] Beirdo: it could be, yes

[14:10:48] Beirdo: oh, true
[14:10:49] janneg: I suspect the nvidia driver
[14:11:01] Beirdo: quite plausible

[14:22:18] Beirdo: with the ppm output enabled (as is obvious by the first line)
[14:22:19] janneg: ok. --no-vmliux excludes the kernel part

[16:22:13] laga: i believe that is possible. i believe that, if two channels have the same callsign, the only show up once. IMHO. and you can assign priorities to cards, or just add them into the right order.

[17:02:01] Juski: nothing is broken – they both work on a windows box
[17:02:39] John1: or perhaps the quality if your ata timing is borderline, within the tolerance of one drive but not the other
[17:02:40] Juski: and the windows box sends it slightly different commands. I'm just wondering how sony think they can get away with having 2 firmware revs with the same version number

[19:04:52] juski: the end of year workshops were what put the final nail in the coffin. first the assignment was to design & build a logic probe. that got re-jigged so then we had to lay out a PCB & build one. Then they handed us PCBs & a bag of bits. Some students who'd previously got distinctions were asking me which way round to solder a resistor. Mine was built & tested in under 30 minutes – the lecturer made me re-test it in front

[19:08:20] juski: sigger: really? I couldn't have put up with 4 years of that
[19:08:21] _willcooke_: Well, I'm thinking of upgrading my old Practika to a digital. I've got about 500UKP to spend, I've heard the cannon is the way to go, but a few reviews I've read of the fuji says it's the same camera. Any exp.?
[19:08:46] hashbang: sigger: certainly mine was expecting more original work, I think.
[19:08:47] Beirdo: I would stick to either Canon or Nikon
[19:08:57] Beirdo: for the number of available lenses
[19:09:08] hashbang: _willcooke_: what beirdo says, and my preference would be for canon.
[19:09:10] _willcooke_: they have the same mount?
[19:09:17] Beirdo: no, different mounts
[19:09:19] hashbang: _willcooke_: I've seen some odd artifacts with nikons
[19:09:20] _willcooke_: canon / nikon?
[19:09:23] Beirdo: and my preference is Nikon
[19:09:32] juski: course the biggest joke at Poly was that I was about the only person there who'd opted to go there. everybody I knew didn't get the grades they needed for other places, so went in by 'clearing'.. lol
[19:09:37] Beirdo: never seen any artifacts with my D70
[19:09:49] sigger: (caveat: only speaking from my US experience) I think the world has gotten so specialized that we all need further than 12th class training to compete in the workplace. College has become the next level of vocational training
[19:10:37] _willcooke_: Beirdo, would you buy from ebay?
[19:10:53] Beirdo: no
[19:10:56] _willcooke_: :)
[19:10:59] Beirdo: not for something that pricey
[19:11:02] _willcooke_: that's what I thought
[19:11:08] hashbang: Beirdo: I've not /used/ either, though, and from my Oly 750, I've learnt ergonomics is a bigger factor even for me.
[19:11:15] Beirdo: I'd insist on going to a camera shop
[19:11:25] juski: rule of thumb with Ebay... don't buy anything with money you might miss

[19:14:06] juski: (and the driver to a large extent)
[19:14:09] haj: FX-something
[19:14:10] Beirdo: then you can think about where to buy it
[19:14:50] hashbang: _willcooke_: of course, if you get good pre-sales service, you might feel bad about taking your custom somewhere cheaper.
[19:14:53] juski: haj: I think some 6xxx cards don't support overlay. search the users' mailing list for more detail on that horror story
[19:14:53] _willcooke_: plus if I'm buying 2nd hand I can take it back if it doesn't work
[19:14:54] hashbang: _willcooke_: I would.
[19:15:01] Beirdo: aye
[19:15:26] haj: juski: okay.. thanks for the tip :)

[19:18:44] juski: (that didn't use silly memory sticks anyway)
[19:18:57] _willcooke_: that thingy where you put you lens on a bellows and then tilt the bottom of the lens out, makes pictures look like scale models
[19:19:09] Beirdo: nah
[19:19:38] _willcooke_: juski, I hear that – I bought an HP for about 500quid and the next year a camera half the size, twice the pixels and about 2/3rds the cost comes out
[19:19:42] hashbang: juski: yeah, I paid 250GBP for a Kodak DC215 (1.3MP, 2x optical zoom) in 2000, I paid 350 for an Oly C-750UZ (4MP, 10x optical zoom) in 2004

[20:07:49] evilDagmar: Led-Hed: When you're watching TV it doesnt' need one. When it's sitting at the menu, DPMS kicks in and blanks/suspends things at the appropriate time

[20:09:32] evilDagmar: The more I look at it the more I am seriously thinking about biting the bullet and learning C++ just to beat some more advanced functionality into it
[20:09:44] juski: evilDagmar: don't forget the Qt

[20:10:26] juski: evilDagmar: oh more config options. grrrreat
[20:10:39] evilDagmar: juski: Actually, I'm thinking about throwing in something like Xine's config
[20:10:54] Led-Hed: is DPMS a feature that the monitor needs to support?
[20:10:57] medwards: oh god...
[20:11:09] medwards: Xine only needs like half of those options.. the rest should be autodetected..

[20:12:57] fir3: someone here running mythfrontend on the macbook?
[20:13:01] DrNickRiviera: yeah
[20:13:16] TiTaN_pi8: is anybody able to watch recordings from mythtv with a hardware mpeg encoder on windows? I was under the impression that this should work automatically, but when I try it, the windows pc doesn't play but just reads from the hard disk for several minutes (10 minutes+)...
[20:13:29] DrNickRiviera: that was referring to what juski said
[20:13:36] evilDagmar: TiTaN_pi8: One of the Hauppauge PVR cards?
[20:13:40] TiTaN_pi8: yes
[20:13:42] TiTaN_pi8: pvr 500
[20:13:50] evilDagmar: TiTaN_pi8: It should work with Windows Media PLayer just fine
[20:13:59] TiTaN_pi8: strange, it doesn't :s
[20:14:01] evilDagmar: It's a relatively boring MPG file
[20:14:03] juski: TiTaN_pi8: yeah, I used to do that. You should try mythstreamtv, or _tapeworm_
[20:14:14] evilDagmar: TiTaN_pi8: What kind of a network do you have?
[20:14:17] juski: tapeworm has a sucky UI but it works
[20:14:18] TiTaN_pi8: btw i am using a cvs version
[20:14:23] evilDagmar: Doesn't matter.
[20:14:30] juski: cvs version? so what.. 0.18-something? :-P
[20:14:33] TiTaN_pi8: evilDagmar 100mbit but i copied the file to the windows box by ftp
[20:14:36] evilDagmar: The card does all the encoding so it's not going to change no matter what version of Myth you're using
[20:14:54] juski: TiTaN_pi8: you might not have any joy with WMP. try VLC instead
[20:14:57] evilDagmar: TiTaN_pi8: Okay, then you need to beat the hell out of Windows Media Player 10 or remove your viruses or whatever
[20:15:03] TiTaN_pi8: hehe
[20:15:06] TiTaN_pi8: i will try vlc
[20:15:19] TiTaN_pi8: winamp doesn't work either (but it sucks for video) :)
[20:15:35] evilDagmar: I am able to play the files, even across the CIFS/Samba fileshare, and I have literally installed *nothing* on this XP machine but Mozilla, some games, and Cygwin
[20:15:43] juski: and give tapeworm a shot. it's free-ish but they recommend you donate to charity – quite noble some might say
[20:15:51] evilDagmar: Everythine about WMP has come in through WindowsUpdate.
[20:15:52] TiTaN_pi8: i'll check it out
[20:15:53] evilDagmar: It *should* work
[20:16:09] evilDagmar: Have you tried playing *other* MPG files?
[20:16:24] juski: WMP doesn't do mpeg2 out of the box anyway
[20:16:32] evilDagmar: You could have fooled mine.
[20:17:00] juski: really? so why do they try & flog you mpeg2 decoders to make MCE work?
[20:17:03] TiTaN_pi8: this is exactly what happens when i double click the mpg file i downloaded from the mythtv box: wmp opens and loads for about 2 secs and then displays the length of the video wich is 0:00 :s then it just rattels on searching stuff on the hard disk but it never plays
[20:17:12] TiTaN_pi8: i can play other mpeg2 files
[20:17:30] evilDagmar: TiTaN_pi8: Try a different file from your myth box. That one may have gotten corrupted somehow
[20:17:34] juski: if you have a DVD player program installed, say powerdvd.. you can just play the files in that believe it or not
[20:17:36] evilDagmar: Or set up Samba
[20:17:38] Led-Hed: will DPMS kick in if you are watching s show or movie?
[20:17:41] evilDagmar: That will make things much easier
[20:17:43] juski: Led-Hed: nope
[20:17:46] evilDagmar: Led-Hed: dear god of course not
[20:17:51] evilDagmar: That would be awful
[20:18:03] juski: or nice.. depending on what you're watching ;)
[20:18:05] TiTaN_pi8: evilDagmar: yes, i am going to install samba, but that won't work if this doesn't work i think.
[20:18:09] TiTaN_pi8: vlc is almost installed
[20:18:18] Led-Hed: well there is no mouse movement or keyboard activity. which is what usually prevents DPMS from activating

[20:21:38] TiTaN_pi8: i'll try that
[20:21:53] juski: or install a DVD player program. powerdvd coped with my pvr card recordings – and dvb last time I tried

[20:23:40] sigger: anyone wanna take a couple minutes to give me an idea how to have my USB thumb drive automount so I can add its contents via Video Manager. (yes, my alternative is to RTFM; but first I gotta find out where in TFM)
[20:24:40] juski: sigger: make a symbolic link to where your thumb drive will automount to, in the video directory
[20:24:58] TiTaN_pi8: windvd works perfectly
[20:25:10] juski: TiTaN_pi8: result!
[20:25:12] sigger: its the automount part that I have no experience with, actually
[20:25:33] TiTaN_pi8: thanks :)
[20:25:40] juski: I've been meaning to play with automounting so I can wikify it
[20:26:00] TiTaN_pi8: btw, is anybody interested in a 'user managed system' for mythweb?
[20:26:11] juski: TiTaN_pi8: what would that mean?
[20:26:41] juski: sigger: ubuntu automounts most stuff by default and I've not worked out what black magic it uses yet
[20:27:04] TiTaN_pi8: you can manage (add/edit/delete) users and groups with their individual rights for using mythweb
[20:27:18] sigger: if I continue to plug and unplug should it continue to come it as the same e.g. sda1
[20:27:25] juski: TiTaN_pi8: sounds cool-ish :)
[20:27:56] TiTaN_pi8: for example you can have a couple of users that are allowed to record any time and do administrative tasks such as delete other users' recordings... and another group of users that have more limited rights...
[20:27:59] juski: TiTaN_pi8: that could tie in with a SoC project (make mythtv multi-user) actually
[20:28:11] TiTaN_pi8: i am working on that
[20:28:17] juski: lol. figures
[20:28:39] juski: before anyone else asks, is it ready yet??!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!? ;)
[20:28:44] TiTaN_pi8: but my code is probably not good enough for the project, i just learned php on my own

[21:34:38] janneg: Beirdo: have you tried to pack the planes into BGRA? it seems to be much faster except that it doesn't work
[21:34:56] Beirdo: it's of no use
[21:35:08] Beirdo: to do that, you need to have them not in a planar format
[21:35:26] Beirdo: i.e. they will be read from CPU memory in order R, G, B, A
[21:35:43] Beirdo: (or equivalently – Y, U, V, 0)
[21:35:59] Beirdo: but planar YUV is stored with all the Y first, then all the U, then all the V
[21:36:07] Miek (Miek!n=a@unaffiliated/mikechml) has left #mythtv-users ()

[21:37:40] janneg: yeah, I meant something different. pack the Y with Cg into a smaller BGRA texture
[21:38:13] Beirdo: hmmm, the problem isn't the internal structure but rather what goes across the bus
[21:38:59] Beirdo: I thought about it, but I can't think of any better format to transfer in than the YUV420P that MPEG decodes to anyways
[21:39:37] janneg: no, if it's just the data transfer load and unlaod should take roughly the same time

[21:39:54] Beirdo: not necessarily
[21:40:09] Beirdo: on AGP (for instance) CPU->GPU is much faster than GPU->CPU
[21:40:42] Beirdo: as CPU->GPU is accelerated on the bus, but GPU->CPU is totally unoptimized, and is essentially PCI
[21:41:33] Beirdo: and PCIe, if not properly supported in the kernel may be about the same

[21:46:41] Beirdo: which is what janneg's doing with his setup
[21:47:06] ** kormoc nods **

[21:52:07] Beirdo: hhe
[21:52:51] kormoc: hehe, I donno, this is pretty bad... a few days of downtime a month so far
[21:53:07] Beirdo: OK, I think we are on the same page then
[21:53:25] Beirdo: I had downtime for half of yesterday, about 2h today
[21:53:35] Beirdo: and they drop sync all the time
[21:53:52] kormoc: Last month, I think I had downtime for about 4 days, in 12 to 24 hour chunks at a time
[21:54:00] Beirdo: jeez

[21:55:05] Beirdo: PRTC doesn't do DSL in this neighborhood yet
[21:55:35] Beirdo: if it weren't for the 500ms latency, I MIGHT consider direcpc
