[00:06:33] gremgrem: I keep getting an error in the job queue on my transcode jobs, but grepping through my mythbackend log doesn't reveal any problems. Anyone offer a bit of help?
[00:06:50] mirak: mythtv says my video device is busy, so I shoud stop a recording and such, but I am not doing anything

[00:13:06] xris: mirak: reboot?
[00:13:15] mirak: xris: no I have this problem since some time
[00:13:24] mirak: xris: when I run the backend as root I have video
[00:13:40] xris: then you need to fix the permissions on the video device.
[00:13:42] mirak: mythtv is in the video and audio group so should have acces to the device
[00:13:53] xris: or just run as root like most of us do, so you can get realtime priority
[00:13:59] mirak: ah
[00:14:18] mirak: but here i record a programm and it doesn't remember having saved it
[00:15:28] mirak: xris: any idea ?
[00:16:27] media_: .. I have a client that has bad hardware so I usually have to reflash it every couple of weeks. I'm getting tired of resetting the key bindings. I need to know if the default key bindings are set in the code for the frontend, or backend, or where ever. I've had no luck in finding where Key_* is actually defaulted in the code
[00:17:51] xris: mirak: sorry, no clue. but once you get it up and running with livetv, it should work fine with recordings.
[00:18:27] xris: media_: grep?
[00:19:38] mirak: xris: it doesn't

[00:22:08] mirak: xris: even as root there is nothing scheduled
[00:22:16] media_: xris: .. I'm not that new to programming.. grep didn't find anything that I was expecting, keybindings (the name of the db table) didn't even return something useful
[00:22:44] media_: xris: am I to be looking through mythui, the frontend, db?
[00:25:25] mirak: help
[00:25:32] mirak: there is not even an error message !
[00:26:14] mirak: I suspect I have only read acces on mysql
[00:26:21] mirak: why do you think of that ?
[00:27:30] mirak: what
[00:27:40] kormoc: media_, current keybindings are stored in the DB iirc
[00:28:19] kormoc: media_, mythconverg.keybindings to be exact
[00:28:57] xris: kormoc: yes, but not the defaults
[00:29:15] xris: media_: grep the code.
[00:29:24] xris: mirak: did you schedule anything to record?
[00:29:44] kormoc: the thing is, honestly, he shouldn't need to reset them if he reflashes the box and gives it the same hostname
[00:29:55] mirak: xris: if I do that they are not saved
[00:30:01] evil_andy: ok, I can't figure sound out at all...
[00:30:04] mirak: so if I look in upcoming, there is nothing
[00:30:11] kormoc: evil_andy, welcome to linux
[00:30:19] kormoc: mirak, you might have the grants wrong ?
[00:30:42] evil_andy: kormoc, gee, thanks, I meant in terms of mythtv, I've been in the world of linux for quite a while thank you very much
[00:30:44] mirak: kormoc: I am wondering that but I don't know how to change that
[00:31:02] mirak: I don't know if it's on table or tablespace
[00:31:04] Aid` (Aid`!n=Aid@69.54.213.102) has quit (Read error: 113 (No route to host))
[00:31:33] media_: xris: kormx: the best I can find is MythMainWindow::MythMainWindow() in libs/mythui/mainwindow which calls registerkey on several keys, however, it appears to be a subset. So my question is, where is the absolute code or db section that does set the defaults? If this is the location, am I right in seeing that not all globals are set? Just this small subset of 20 bindings is it?
[00:31:56] evil_andy: mythtv won't take input from my sound card, I have audio coming from line out on the tuner to line in on the sound card, as well as internal wiring going from audio out on the tuner to aux in on the sound card, I used alsamixer to select aux OR line in for capture, but nothing is picking up sound.

[00:33:31] media_: xris: I don't see anything referencing volume adjustments, PIP, commercial skipping, and about 30 other bindings that also show up in the db for each client
[00:34:16] xris: media_: grep, or ask in the dev channel
[00:34:34] Aid` (Aid`!n=Aid@sonic.dsnet.us) has joined #mythtv-users
[00:35:00] mirak: kormoc: any idea how to fix that ?
[00:35:42] kormoc: mirak, re-do the grants? delete the old ones from and start fresh?
[00:35:52] xris: mirak: explain again what you're trying to do and what's not working
[00:36:20] xris: n/m, kormoc explained
[00:37:09] mirak: xris: first I can't run video on mythtv user, so as a service I guess and not have the message saying the video card is busy
[00:37:38] mirak: second, if I run as root the backend, I have no problem having video, but I can't save the records I scheduled
[00:37:52] mirak: they are simply not saved after I entered and saved them
[00:38:16] kormoc: the backend does require root usually, unless you want to muck about with the /dev pr emissions

[00:39:43] mirak: this is fine
[00:39:59] mirak: I can log to mysql as mythtv password mythtv
[00:40:31] evil_andy: hmm I am using gentoo for it, which just requires you to add the mythtv user to the video and audio groups :(
[00:40:37] xris: mirak: and insert records?
[00:40:46] mirak: xris: no !
[00:40:58] xris: mirak: then fix your grants
[00:41:00] mirak: xris: you mean through mysql command line ?
[00:41:05] xris: yes

[00:47:58] mirak: s
[00:48:06] briand: show tables;

[00:48:10] Anduin: mirak: download a good MySQL GUI, try it.

[01:04:01] mirak: I have set the rights xris
[01:04:12] mirak: delete insert update on mythtv
[01:04:20] mirak: I can view video now
[01:04:29] mirak: but it still doesn't save recordings
[01:04:38] evil_andy: Z_Morek, on gentoo, there are a bunch of different groups, and no, there isn't a 'staff' group, even adding to root group doesn't fix it :P
[01:04:57] xris: mirak: mythtv is the username, not the database name

[01:06:02] xris: run that ^^^^
[01:06:21] evil_andy: ok, Z_Morek, do you know what device mythtv reads it's audio input from? (and where to set that?)
[01:07:34] john1: evil_andy, it's set in mythsetup, where you configure the cards
[01:07:41] mirak: xris: ok I see them inside the database, the records, but not inside mythtv that's weirds
[01:07:44] john1: or.. so I believe
[01:08:17] kormoc: evil_andy, john1 is correct, under the capture card settings, in mythtv-setup
[01:08:44] xris: mirak: restart the backend, wait 30 seconds, restart the frontend
[01:08:46] evil_andy: thanks
[01:08:48] xris: (or check mythweb)
[01:09:10] mirak: I am not sure it's installed

[01:15:43] moxjake: I am running mythfilldatabase in a cron job. After this runs, the backend "forgets" all of the scheduled recordings and does not record anything. Also, I cannot tell it to record anything. If I restart the backend the problem is solved. Any ideas?
[01:16:47] flindet_: everytime that I record a show, it says it can't find the recording. Any ideas?
[01:16:51] flindet_: Old recordings play just fine
[01:17:00] flindet_: I've checked mythtv-setup, and it is recording to /video
[01:17:06] flindet_: touching a file to /video as mythtv works fine
[01:17:17] moxjake: Did this start happening after an upgrade?
[01:17:22] kormoc: moxjake, are you in the us?
[01:17:29] moxjake: kormoc, Yes
[01:17:37] kormoc: moxjake, and you are running 0.19?
[01:17:41] moxjake: mythtv version .19, ubuntu
[01:17:51] moxjake: mysql5
[01:18:03] flindet_: moxjake: I had a series of problems with lock-ups. I havne't used my myth in 2 months. I've now upgraded to fedora 5 (from 4).
[01:18:12] kormoc: moxjake, then don't run it via cron. Zap2it, your listing provider can tell the backend when to run it next, so they don't get hammered so hard.
[01:18:41] moxjake: kormoc: Really? I didn't know that, this cron thing set itself up automagically
[01:19:03] moxjake: I will remove the cron job and see if the problem goes away
[01:19:11] kormoc: g'luck
[01:19:37] moxjake: flindet_: After you upgraded to FC5, did you reinstall your drivers and such...also does livetv work still?
[01:19:46] flindet_: livetv does not work
[01:19:52] flindet_: I got new ivtv drivers as part of the upgrade
[01:20:06] flindet_: if I try livetv, it immediately exits to the screen
[01:20:08] moxjake: Can you watch video in mplayer?
[01:20:16] moxjake: I had a similar problem when I installed mine
[01:20:16] flindet_: that is a lower priority for me, but obviously if it's related I'm interested
[01:20:21] moxjake: yes, its related
[01:20:26] flindet_: moxjake: not sure. let me try. I'll be back
[01:20:29] moxjake: ok
[01:20:33] flindet_: I can watch old recordings, though
[01:20:46] moxjake: yeah, thats because they are already recorded and dont use your capture card
[01:20:54] moxjake: it really sounds like your capture card drivers are mucked up
[01:21:15] mirak: kormoc: I have granted all rights
[01:21:23] mirak: don't know why it doesn't work
[01:23:36] flindet_: Okay, I did a capture on each of the 3 tuners and played them back with mplayer. The screen was black, but I could hear the audio fine
[01:23:58] moxjake: ok, did you put tuner0–86,86, or whatever its supposed to say in your hotplug file?
[01:24:08] flindet_: I know nothing of that
[01:24:26] kormoc: I don't think that's hotplug's job, that would be the modules.conf job
[01:24:30] moxjake: alright, thats probably your problem, lemme see if I can rustle up exactly what its supposed to say
[01:24:38] moxjake: ^^ yep modules.conf was what I meant, thanks kormoc
[01:24:38] flindet_: sweet. thanks
[01:25:49] Anduin: flindet_: Depending on which ivtv version you upgraded from/to it may just be the Tuner 0 Tuner 1 problem.
[01:26:08] flindet_: i have alias-char-major-81 ivtv in my /etc/modprobe.conf
[01:26:16] flindet_: tuner 0 tuner 1?
[01:27:01] moxjake: do you hav ea pvr500?
[01:27:14] flindet_: i have a pvr-350 and 2 pvr-250s
[01:27:15] Anduin: flindet_: Yeah, tuner names changed for a good number of cards to be consistent.
[01:27:21] flindet_: oh
[01:27:34] flindet_: okay, maybe I just need to find the docs somewhere or something
[01:27:41] moxjake: ok, you need something like
[01:27:43] flindet_: bummer

[01:27:48] moxjake: alias-char-major-81 videodev
[01:27:58] moxjake: then alias-char-major-81–0 ivtv
[01:28:04] moxjake: those two lines should get tuner 0 working
[01:28:12] moxjake: then you just need ones for tuner 1 and 2
[01:28:39] flindet_: in /etc/modprobe.conf I have "alias char-major-81 ivtv" and "alias char-major-81–0 ivtv"
[01:28:56] mirak: Session management error: Authentication Rejected, reason : None of the authentication protocols specified are supported and host-based authentication failed
[01:29:07] mirak: kormoc: I got that error when starting the daemon
[01:29:07] kormoc: mirak, not uncommon, and usually safe to ignore
[01:29:14] mirak: ah
[01:29:21] flindet_: moxjake: what how do I increment it for tuner 2?
[01:29:23] moxjake: flindet_: Okay, thats probably okay, although the first one might be videodev rather than ivtv
[01:29:42] moxjake: alias char-major-81–1 ivtv
[01:30:03] moxjake: I know theres something funny about the pvr350 cards, but I"m not sure what it is
[01:30:31] kormoc: the 350 is odd with the video out stuff, but outside of that, it's exactly the same as the 250
[01:30:40] Anduin: Yeah, that has nothing to do with tuner devices.
[01:30:57] moxjake: Okay, I wasn't sure what was different about them
[01:31:12] moxjake: I know at wilsonet.com/mythtv/fcmyth.php there is a guide for setting up mythtv on Fedora Core
[01:31:32] moxjake: IIRC, it says which stuff gets broken between FC4 and 5
[01:31:49] flindet_: moxjake: You're an F'n hero
[01:31:53] flindet_: the videodev fixed it
[01:31:59] flindet_: I'm not sure that this change is going to be permanent, though
[01:32:06] flindet_: I'll play with it and can ask for help in #fedora I guess
[01:32:07] flindet_: thanks!
[01:32:12] Anduin: flindet_: try running ivtvctl -n the compare the tuner name to what is in the DB (cardinput table, also the other one but that is for default input)
[01:32:21] briand: if it would help.. I'm running FC3 with a PVR350 and a PVR500

[01:32:51] flindet_: assuming that the devices aren't all pointing to the same tuner... hmm
[01:33:16] flindet_: I did cat /dev/video0 > test.mpg
[01:33:22] flindet_: then /dev/video1 and so on
[01:33:44] flindet_: and all three came back okay, though they are on the same channel
[01:33:56] evil_andy: john1, thanks, I got it put in there, I'm using alsa, so I did ALSA:default, that should work right?
[01:35:35] briand: flindet_: you can use ivtvctl to specify a device and change the channel on two of them

[01:39:29] briand: if you're already getting mad, what's the point in bringing Windows into it??
[01:40:01] Aid`: briand: i can't get my card to work on linux... it has an install CD for windows right in the box?
[01:40:06] Agrajag-: how'd that windows soc project go?
[01:40:21] Aid`: Anduin: are they both free?

[01:40:33] evil_andy: can I actually tell the backend to use ALSA:default for input?
[01:40:41] briand: nor are either user-modifiable, I should guess.

[01:40:54] defaultro (defaultro!n=def@c-67-184-169-1.hsd1.il.comcast.net) has joined #mythtv-users
[01:40:56] kormoc: evil_andy, no
[01:41:03] kormoc: evil_andy, the backend only has alsa support
[01:41:35] Aid`: well i love mythtv and all but there's just no support for my DVB-S card even though mythtv wiki says it works w/linux
[01:41:44] evil_andy: ok, but alsa doesn't necessarily create links for /dev/dsp
[01:41:48] evil_andy: so what should I put there?
[01:42:05] evil_andy: or did you mean the backend only has OSS support?
[01:42:19] antiPosix: Does "transcoding" mean encoding a NuppelVideo/PCM to a MPEG4/MP3 ?
[01:42:20] kormoc: evil_andy, yes, the backend only speaks oss, so it needs oss support
[01:42:35] evil_andy: aHA! now we're getting somewhere :) ok, time to recompile the kernel, fun fun
[01:42:39] evil_andy: thanks
[01:42:41] kormoc: evil_andy, you can load the alsa-oss emulation module and get a oss device from your alsa driver too
[01:42:44] evil_andy: ya
[01:42:52] evil_andy: that's what I'm gonna do, just recompile the module and load it
[01:42:56] briand: Aid`: well, the europeans use DVB-S a LOT more than here in the US... you might try hanging out here during hours they'd be awake/online, perhaps one of them can give you a hand
[01:43:18] antiPosix: I gave the finger to ALSA and stuck with my wonderfully working OSS
[01:43:30] mirak: honestly mythtv really suck for users
[01:43:38] evil_andy: nah
[01:43:42] briand: really?
[01:43:46] scales: it just takes a little time
[01:43:51] mirak: that's a hell to configure
[01:43:53] briand: i think my cat has figured out how to run my mythtv setup...
[01:44:03] scales: took me, a newb to linux, about 4–5 installs to finally understand it
[01:44:06] evil_andy: once you know all the stuff (i.e. that it only supports OSS on the client side, that it prefers IP addresses to names, etc) it's not too bad
[01:44:09] scales: once you do it once
[01:44:11] scales: it isnt bad
[01:44:16] mirak: only geeks can setup that
[01:44:21] mirak: I mean not geeks
[01:44:21] antiPosix: ALSA blows. I'll wait till Torvalds annouces V3.0
[01:44:28] mirak: but people who are good with computer
[01:44:28] kormoc: mirak, it is a linux program
[01:44:44] antiPosix: the marriage between kernel and driver(aka driver) scares me
[01:44:52] briand: yeah, and keeping a linux system running requires no less...
[01:44:58] antiPosix: module(aka driver)
[01:45:04] briand: -- or, at least a willingness to learn.
[01:45:18] mirak: kormoc: it only depends of how they want it to be
[01:45:35] kormoc: antiPosix, honestly this isn't the place to keep going on about that, and if you really have good solid reasons for saying that, the linux kernel mailing list is much better of a place to air out your grievances
[01:45:39] antiPosix: briand: learn ALSA perfectly so in 9 months you can unlearn it because of the better working sound system?
[01:45:54] flindet_: well, I can capture manually fine. But when I try to record a show through myth and play it back, myth tells me it can't find the file
[01:45:57] kormoc: mirak, it's made to work for the programmers, so they're happy
[01:46:13] flindet_: I tried logging into mysql as "mythtv" and it let me log in, but when I try to use the "mythtv" database, it says access denied!
[01:46:15] antiPosix: kormoc: I appologize
[01:46:32] mirak: kormoc: this sucks, and linux sucks for that
[01:46:36] Agrajag-: kormoc: hmm so looking at that log looks like it didn't get very far
[01:46:40] mirak: though I use it, but "I know"
[01:46:42] mirak: :)
[01:47:02] scales: humm
[01:47:03] kormoc: flindet_, you don't have the user created or setup right, might want to rerun the mc.sql import
[01:47:14] kormoc: Agrajag-, aye, didn't seem to, but then, I haven't tried it myself
[01:47:17] scales: my zap2 thing is being goofy
[01:47:18] antiPosix: so anyone care to enlighten me about transcoding?
[01:47:38] antiPosix: is it encoding from NUV to MPEG4
[01:47:57] Sebulba02: it's like coding, but in a transient state :)
[01:48:16] kormoc: antiPosix, it can, but it will still be in a nuv container
[01:48:32] GreyFoxx: nuv is not a codec,it's a container like avi.
[01:48:40] kormoc: antiPosix, nuv is a container format, it holds a video format (like rtjpeg or mpeg4)
[01:48:45] antiPosix: kormoc: so significantly smaller files? correct?
[01:48:57] kormoc: antiPosix, depends on your starting material, but it can, yes
[01:48:58] antiPosix: I thought nuv was NuppelVideo
[01:49:00] briand: it can also do "lossless" transcoding (really just an mpeg2->mpeg2 copy, omitting portions called out in the 'edit' table in the database)
[01:49:04] defaultro: hi kormoc
[01:49:16] defaultro: that's cool to learn that nuv is a container
[01:49:24] kormoc: antiPosix, nupple video happens to be the main user of the nuv container, but it'd not the only one.
[01:49:32] flindet_: Nevermind. My database works fine.
[01:49:40] antiPosix: I have a cheapo tuner(which I love) 320x280. I am getting about 1.5GB per half hour. will transcoding best that?
[01:49:41] flindet_: It's just that when I record something, it says it can't find the file. Hmmm
[01:49:48] evil_andy: well, sofar, except for nothing in the gentoo docs saying that I needed OSS emulation, this has been a pretty painless install of mythtv... that, and the fact that I can't change channels in liveTv without the remote frontend crapping out
[01:49:54] kormoc: mornin defaultro
[01:49:59] defaultro: :D
[01:50:09] defaultro: I missed my mythtv
[01:50:09] kormoc: flindet_, check the backend logs?
[01:50:23] defaultro: it's been off for almost 25 days now
[01:50:33] antiPosix: is transcoding "niced"?
[01:50:36] kormoc: antiPosix, it can, depending on your settings.
[01:50:47] antiPosix: how do I know if a broadcast has been transcoded?
[01:51:03] antiPosix: its currently set to auto
[01:51:06] kormoc: there's a icon in the view recordings' page

[01:51:54] kormoc: I think that's the cutlist?
[01:51:59] ** kormoc peers around for someone that's more sure **
[01:52:26] ** evil_andy named his mythbox "tivo" **
[01:52:31] flindet_: let me see if I can find where the logs live
[01:52:45] ** kormoc watches evil_andy get sued faster then a buttered hog can run. **
[01:52:45] evil_andy: I just felt it wouldn't be right unless I infringed on someones trademark in the process :)
[01:52:52] kormoc: flindet_, /var/logs/something
[01:52:56] evil_andy: haha
[01:53:06] antiPosix: what icon represents an already transcoded recording
[01:53:18] antiPosix: using the default theme in 0.19
[01:53:26] kormoc: antiPosix, might want to check the documentation, it might say somewhere?
[01:54:19] evil_andy: antiPosix, check your frontend logs, what is the theme it's using? G.A.N.T was my default...
[01:54:22] antiPosix: what is the book icon?
[01:54:31] antiPosix: yes, G.A.N.T.
[01:54:39] evil_andy: ahh, ok
[01:55:14] evil_andy: wellllll, you could cross reference the theme.xml file with the icons :-D
[01:55:23] flindet_: kormoc: In the logs I see: ChannelBase: Could not find input: Tuner 0 on card when setting channel 52
[01:55:43] kormoc: flindet_, well, that points to your card's drivers not being setup right
[01:55:50] flindet_: man alive
[01:56:03] flindet_: that's weird though because a cat /dev/video0 > test.mpg works fine
[01:56:16] kormoc: perhaps a setting is screwed up in myth?
[01:56:27] Anduin: flindet_: Or it is exactly what I said many lines ago.
[01:56:27] flindet_: okay. I'll try to reset my tuners. thanks
[01:56:48] Anduin: flindet_: That ivtvctl -n would tell you in under a second.
[01:56:53] flindet_: Anduin: You mentioned the tuner 0 tuner 1 thing but I didn't understand and haven't found it in google yet
[01:57:35] Anduin: flindet_: You now see Tuner 0, run ivtvctl -n and see if you actually have Tuner 1, this is the essence of the Tuner 0 Tuner 1 issue.
[01:58:07] flindet_: Anduin: Yeah, it says "Input 0 Name Tuner 1"
[01:58:15] flindet_: so, do I just need to set that in mythtv-setup or something?
[01:58:33] antiPosix: where is the theme.xml file
[01:58:37] flindet_: Thanks, Anduin. I'm sorry to be hard-headed here.
[01:58:40] antiPosix: it not in ~/mythtv
[01:58:47] antiPosix: or in /usr/local/etc
[01:58:47] Anduin: flindet_: Yes, with a warning that almost everyone who goes to do that somehow ends up with duplicate entries in cardinput.
[01:59:13] Anduin: flindet_: (So when it doesn't work, don't give up, check your DB)
[01:59:16] antiPosix: I meant ~/.mythtv
[01:59:43] flindet_: Anduin: Okay. Man, sounds nasty. Maybe I should just change it in mysql directly?

[02:07:05] flindet_: Anduin: I know the basics of SQL. I just have to find what table this is in.
[02:07:07] Anduin: flindet_: cardinput and capturecard

[02:07:31] evil_andy: antiPosix, heh, I have the $10 version of your card :P
[02:07:42] antiPosix: evil_andy: nice!

[02:08:11] antiPosix: its actual 540x280( but I dont have widescreen input)
[02:08:26] evil_andy: however... SOUND! oh well, gonna swap out the sound card see if that fixes it...
[02:08:39] antiPosix: donk3y: just fork over the case and get a Hauppauge 250
[02:08:44] antiPosix: I mean 150
[02:08:53] evil_andy: hmm
[02:08:56] antiPosix: not case, cash

[03:06:13] sphing: GreyFoxx: you around?
[03:06:17] antiPosix: I dont beleive ALSA using /dev/dsp
[03:06:20] evil|away: this box does nothing but mythtv
[03:06:36] evil|away: doesn't even have X running on it :P
[03:06:38] antiPosix: so fuser -v /dev/dsp shows nothing?
[03:06:44] evil|away: all configuration is done over ssh tunnels
[03:07:01] evil|away: nothing is using /dev/dsp
[03:07:13] antiPosix: is your out and in both stereo?
[03:07:25] evil|away: and I'm using oss emulation in ALSA, so I do get /dev/dsp
[03:07:27] scales: where can i look at the mythtv logs? i would like to check the status on why lirc doesnt start with mythtv
[03:07:41] Anduin: antiPosix: System Status
[03:07:42] evil|away: yep, I'm using internal cabling, I can hear the sound, it's just barely audible

[03:10:57] evil|away: I'm using the internal CD IN plug on the INSIDE of the case
[03:11:11] evil|away: because line in doesn't work
[03:11:27] evil|away: and I have set CD as my capture device
[03:11:55] robbins87: scales>>> sorry, didn't see you had repsonded... I'm using the newer silver and grey remote
[03:12:16] robbins87: also, my lirc doesn't start with myth either
[03:12:31] robbins87: can you even get it to recognize your remote at all? with the usr/bin/irw thing?
[03:12:57] antiPosix: is mythtv using /dev/dsp or the alsa equiv
[03:13:15] antiPosix: like /dev/sound/something...
[03:13:31] evil|away: /dev/dsp
[03:13:54] antiPosix: what happens if you rmmod your alsa driver for your device
[03:14:40] antiPosix: lsmod | grep snd (I think)
[03:14:55] antiPosix: snd_blah would be the crappy alsa driver
[03:15:09] antiPosix: sorry, I mean the functional ALSA driver :)
[03:15:26] antiPosix: rmmod soundcore

[03:16:05] evil|away: antiPosix, the problem is not that I have no sound
[03:16:12] evil|away: just that it's VERY VERY quiet
[03:16:20] evil|away: I have all my mixer settings at 100%
[03:16:25] antiPosix: evil|away: : you are getting bleed
[03:16:37] antiPosix: your audio is NOT working(in my opnion)
[03:16:37] kormoc: evil|away, the cd line is a un amped line, you need to go in via say, a mic line to get higher volume out of it
[03:17:01] evil|away: kormoc, that's weird though, using tvtime, the cd line was just fine for input
[03:17:29] kormoc: hrm, that's strange, I know with my old bttv card, it was just quite unless I used the mic input and did the +20 db gain

[03:17:37] evil|away: I dunno
[03:17:46] kormoc: evil|away, what about the mythtv volume mixer? is that up?
[03:17:49] antiPosix: I suggested the 20 db gain
[03:17:49] evil|away: I'm confuzzled at this point
[03:18:03] evil|away: well here's the thing
[03:18:09] evil|away: I'm also using a remote frontend
[03:18:20] evil|away: so I'll I'm configuring here is the backend
[03:18:29] evil|away: my frontend has sound working properly
[03:18:30] kormoc: evil|away, sure, but that frontend also has volume controls
[03:18:42] kormoc: evil|away, and myth has it's own internal mixer for each frontend
[03:18:49] evil|away: hmm
[03:18:52] antiPosix: jack up the PCM
[03:18:53] evil|away: well, let me see...
[03:18:58] kormoc: evil|away, try using ] to up the internal myth volume iirc
[03:19:49] antiPosix: anyone know how I can see what has been transcoded without snooping the /mnt/store dir manually
[03:20:04] KyleAnderson (KyleAnderson!n=kyle@tech.noc.sagonet.net) has quit ("Ex-Chat")
[03:21:10] antiPosix: how exactly does auto-transcoding work
[03:21:13] evil|away: oh wow
[03:21:33] evil|away: I'm getting a realllly reallly tinny sound (on top of the sound of the show) when I crank up the PCM on mythtv
[03:21:49] fysa: you could look in the database for the transcode commands and modify them to do something else also, antiPosix.
[03:21:56] kormoc: antiPosix, it transcodes via running mythtranscode on the file, to a tmp files, and when done, moves it overtop of the original file
[03:22:09] kormoc: evil|away, is it a nasty sound?
[03:22:29] evil|away: oh ya, very nasty, like a tweeter playing a high pitched whine
[03:22:38] fysa: which board, evil?
[03:22:41] antiPosix: when it does transcode a recording, how will I know
[03:22:51] evil|away: fysa, it's an SB audioPCI
[03:22:52] kormoc: evil|away, that's normal, that's why people recommend the mixers to never be set above 90%
[03:22:56] antiPosix: unless I play it and see the lossy quality(since my settings make it lossy)
[03:23:23] evil|away: kormoc, yeah, the sound from the show is plainly heard under that noise, but the whine is about 3x louder
[03:23:55] kormoc: evil|away, yeah, mine did that too when the mixers were near 95%+
[03:23:55] evil|away: and the sound for the show, is fine
[03:24:43] evil|away: yeah... so if this IS the audio bleeding through, where is it bleeding through FROM?! I have set all possible inputs as capture sources (and waited for the buffer to catch up) and none have the volume hight enough...
[03:24:47] evil|away: not even line-in
[03:24:56] evil|away: well lemme try mic :(
[03:24:58] evil|away: bbl
[03:25:02] kormoc: antiPosix, like I suspected, the answer is in the docs, like I said you should check
[03:25:06] kormoc: antiPosix, http://mythtv.org/docs/mythtv-HOWTO-23.html#ss23.24
[03:25:41] kormoc: evil|away, it can just be electronic interference from the motherboard/cpu/other cards/etc
[03:25:59] evil|away: yeah, it's not exactly a top of the line system :P

[03:33:25] kormoc: donk3y, you should look into getting a hdtv cable box from your cable company with firewire out, so you can capture directly from the box purely digital

[03:34:47] kormoc: donk3y, there's a chance you can capture right now directly form it, or you might need to get the cable company to turn it on for you
[03:35:08] kormoc: donk3y, but in anycase, in the us, the cable company is required by law to turn them on if you are a hdtv subscriber
[03:35:11] donk3y: o my that would be incredible. Can you line me to a how to?

[03:37:05] donk3y: kormoc: is it hard to configure, i am some what of a newbie?
[03:37:18] evil|sleep: kormoc, so... why do those seem to be less expensive?!

[04:27:36] evil|sleep: yeah, if you ssh into a box, and run, say, xclock, you are forwarding that program over ssh to YOUR x session
[04:27:56] evil|sleep: correct me if I'm wrong, but I am pretty sure that's how it works
[04:28:22] sigger_: yes, unless you give it the DISPLAY environment var.
[04:28:23] evil|sleep: and not all extensions can be forwarded
[04:28:29] kormoc: evil|sleep, unless you do something like say, DISPLAY=:0.0 which forces it to use the local x server

[04:35:35] kormoc: brunner1, in the mysql database
[04:35:42] evil|sleep: in the sql db right?
[04:35:50] brunner1: when I nmap localhost, I don't see a mysql server running

[04:36:37] kormoc: yes
[04:36:43] kormoc: or
[04:36:55] kormoc: you can shut down the db, and backup the mysql data directory

[04:38:58] brunner1: levander: ask in #sd
[04:39:24] levander: brunner1: azureus is written in java though, how slow is it?
[04:39:56] brunner1: I haven't experience any performance issues, and I usually use pretty old hardware
[04:40:01] brunner1: experienced*
[04:40:10] levander: brunner1: interesting, i'll try it
[04:40:28] levander: brunner1: what's #sd for? all the topic says is that they are abandoning freenode
[04:40:36] brunner1: I'd ask in #sd before you go with azureus. they may have many better ideas
[04:41:13] brunner1: levander: it's a non-profit organization that provides free unix shells to people who wish to learn unix, but there are alot of linux and unix gurus who idle there
[04:41:21] brunner1: and they don't mind off-topic chat
[04:42:10] kormoc: we tend to not mind ot chat ether, it's just bittorrent is a 'banned' topic in here, due to the grey area legal issues.
[04:43:09] brunner1: good call. talk of FTP should probably be forbidden as well, as it used to be pretty common to trade copyrighted material via FTP.
[04:43:28] kormoc: it tends to be so, aye
[04:43:41] levander: ah, now i get why yall don't want that discussed in here
[04:43:48] brunner1: and let's not forget IRC... oh shit
[04:43:53] levander: the hills have eyes
[04:44:18] brunner1: Usenet, too. don't forget Usenet.
[04:44:19] kormoc: it was a request by the mythtv developers, who don't want to get into legal trouble
[04:44:36] brunner1: oh. I see.
[04:44:38] kormoc: they've already been put into news articles as a illegal recording software
[04:44:45] brunner1: well, I can respect that then
[04:44:57] kormoc: and given they give us the time and software for free, yeah, we try to respect their wishes.
[04:45:08] evil|sleep: that nc's a bitch too... soooo much copyrighted stuff shared over netcat

[04:46:56] brunner1: man, if that's not retarded, I'm not sure what is
[04:47:41] brunner1: speaking of ignorance, where would I go to configure mythtv to use TCP/IP sockets instead of unix sockets?
[04:47:59] kormoc: for?
[04:48:15] brunner1: for access by other frontends
[04:48:55] kormoc: well, might I inquire why?
[04:50:19] kormoc: and I don't think you can use tcp/ip directly, as remote unix sockets tend to tunnel over tcp/ip, don't they?
[04:50:33] brunner1: so that I can sit in my hot tub and watch TV
[04:50:36] brunner1: if you must know
[04:51:08] brunner1: I feel pretty certain that there's a way to do it
[04:51:10] kormoc: well, I'm wondering why pure tcp/ip is better then unix socket tunneled over tcp/ip ?
[04:51:39] brunner1: because the frontends I want to use are setup for TCP/IP connections to mysql
[04:52:00] kormoc: okay, so then you want to turn on networking in mysql
[04:52:04] kormoc: that's a different question
[04:52:08] brunner1: ah
[04:52:11] brunner1: sorry
[04:52:17] kormoc: in your my.cnf file, there will be one of two different lines, or both
[04:52:18] brunner1: poorly worded question
[04:52:24] kormoc: check for a skip-networking line
[04:52:26] kormoc: and comment it out
[04:52:31] brunner1: alright, thanks
[04:52:40] kormoc: and check for a line that's something like, bind 127.0.0.1 and comment it out
[04:52:55] kormoc: then restart mysql, and you should have remote access
[04:53:02] brunner1: cool. I appreciate it.
[04:53:20] kormoc: and to allow the remote frontends, you'll need to setup a extra grant, and that's covered in the documentation.
[04:54:10] b8: ok guys, im desperate, ive tried everything I can think of to do, but I keep getting this error when I try to record a show via the program guide:

[04:54:27] b8: but the listings are _there_

[04:56:03] dev: i had that problem once, and all 'new scheduled recordings'.. i blew away my channels in mythtv-setup and reset up the zap2it feed
[04:56:07] dev: fixed after that
[04:56:20] b8: cool, i will look into that
[04:56:28] b8: the docs say that will happen if the listings change
[04:56:38] b8: but they appear to not have changed, its really wierd
[04:56:49] dev: yeah, something changed on mine that wasnt very noticeable.. still dont know what it was
[04:57:07] dev: i had mine running for over 1.5years and think i reset channels once 6months+ ago
[04:57:33] simcop2387: i need to save this to somewhere i can remember where it is

[04:57:43] simcop2387: recorded markup keeps getting clobbered
[04:58:38] mes: does anyone know where to set the local oscillator freq in 0.20?
[04:58:57] mes: that is for DVB-S
[04:59:07] simcop2387: was 0.20 released?
[04:59:09] dev: i had mythbackend drop again. and this time it was svn not 0.19
[04:59:15] ** simcop2387 hasn't paid attention **
[04:59:19] dev: but i didnt have all logging on
[04:59:40] mes: this is a svn build, the LOF is gone
[04:59:41] sphing: does anyone have their myth system connected to their tv via dvi?
[04:59:57] kormoc: simcop2387, no, it wasn't
[05:00:08] simcop2387: kormoc: k i didn't think it was close enough last i looked
[05:00:12] fysa: I have it connected to projector via DVI and TV via SVideo, sphing.
[05:00:32] lmpbzktwn5: hi, i have a mythfilldatabase problem-- 401 unauthorized comes up all the time. there is no 200 OK response at all
[05:01:02] simcop2387: lmpbzktwn5: sounds like a password/username is typed in wrong if you are using data direct
[05:01:03] kormoc: lmpbzktwn5, you sure your lap2it user and password are correct and not expired?
[05:01:11] sphing: fysa: I have mine connected with dvi -> hdmi cable and X is bigger than the tv
[05:01:20] lmpbzktwn5: yes, i just signed up for it 2 days ago and it's in correctly
[05:01:23] sphing: well the whole screen, even on boot up
[05:01:37] simcop2387: would anyone be so kind as to PM me the schema for the recorded markup table
[05:01:38] fysa: what display are you using?
[05:01:44] sphing: but what i care about is X... is there a way to push X in a little
[05:01:45] sphing: display?
[05:02:08] kormoc: sphing, you could change X's resolution
[05:02:12] fysa: my projector lets me select what the DVI port is 'doing' — PC Analog, PC Digital, HDCP
[05:02:25] lmpbzktwn5: my frontend and backend are on the same machine, so for the IP setup within the mythtvsetup program, the IP's should both be 127.0.0.1, correct?
[05:02:26] sphing: kormoc: tried it, it seems the tv just stretches is out again
[05:02:29] simcop2387: sphing: sounds like overscanning is happening, dunno what you can do about that for X in general
[05:02:31] fysa: I had to use HDCP on the projector and then set my xorg.conf to ignore Edid.
[05:02:40] kormoc: lmpbzktwn5, aye
[05:02:49] sphing: simcop2387: thats what I thought... but its DVI.. i thought overscanning was on on tvout
[05:02:50] kormoc: sphing, that's a bit... strange... no tv settings to change?
[05:02:52] fysa: and manually specify a resolution
[05:03:02] simcop2387: sphing: the tv itself may be doing it
[05:03:13] sphing: kormoc: gone up and down the tv menu and followed the manual
[05:03:20] fysa: otherwise the projector would get picked up as being 1024x768, when it's actually 1280x720.
[05:03:43] fysa: I use this: Modeline "1280x720" 62.156 1280 1352 1392 1648 720 728 733 753 -HSync -VSync
[05:04:04] lmpbzktwn5: kormoc: any other ideas as to what might be wrong?
[05:04:07] fysa: and then in the "Device" section for my NVidia card, I have: Option "UseEdidFreqs" "false"
[05:04:25] kormoc: lmpbzktwn5, no, but you could email zap2it and see what they think?
[05:04:46] fysa: and then _only_ Modes "1280x720" under Section "Screen"
[05:05:03] lmpbzktwn5: kormoc: yeah, i guess i could do that... is there anyway to get the data manually from another source and import it into myth?

[05:06:01] fysa: you don't have a 1360x768 mode defined.
[05:06:18] fysa: under Section "Monitor"
[05:06:18] kormoc: no, but he has a 720p mode defined
[05:06:43] fysa: if it's an LCD, 1360x768 is going to be native.
[05:06:43] kormoc: sphery, so which is your tv?
[05:06:49] sphing: yes it an lcd
[05:06:52] sphing: one sec..
[05:07:02] kormoc: so why the 720p modeline?
[05:07:08] kormoc: pastebin up your xorg.log?
[05:07:10] fysa: exactly. that should be erased.
[05:07:12] fysa: he did :)

[05:39:52] atomjack: does it say anything about EDID?
[05:40:39] sphing: yes...
[05:40:46] atomjack: where's the xconfig file stored, i forget
[05:41:12] atomjack: and, does your tv (hdtv?) support 1024x768?
[05:41:27] sphing: http://pastebin.com/773780
[05:41:34] sphing: is the full log..
[05:41:46] atomjack: oh hmm
[05:41:48] sphing: according to the manual it wants 1280x768 at 60hz
[05:42:10] sphing: atomjack if I uncomment this line: Option "IgnoreEDID"
[05:42:16] sphing: it gives me that its depricated...
[05:42:18] atomjack: cause i was having a problem getting X to display 1280x720 to my hdtv at first and it was complaining about some EDID thing but there's an IgnoreEDID option that fixed it..but it doesnt look like you are getting that one
[05:42:23] atomjack: oh hrm
[05:42:30] atomjack: where is the location of the xconfig file, so i can look at mine
[05:42:43] atomjack: i forget, it was a long time that i configured it and i havent needed to update it since
[05:42:45] xris: usually /etc/X11
[05:42:56] atomjack: that's right, xorg.conf
[05:43:43] atomjack: yeah in the screen section i have

[05:44:04] sphing: http://pastebin.com/773781
[05:44:11] sphing: is the log file with the ignoreedid in place
[05:44:29] sphing: line 418
[05:44:50] atomjack: ahhh
[05:45:29] atomjack: did you try settign UseEDID to false?
[05:45:43] atomjack: or the mode validation thing?
[05:45:57] atomjack: i am not sure if that's the problem, as when i was having problems it specifically said something about violating EDID or something..
[05:46:10] atomjack: i eventually found the answer was for it to ignore edid, since i knew my tv could display at that resolution
[05:49:34] sphing: hmm
[05:50:17] atomjack: wow yeah..so somehow my lineups got deleted and readding them fixed the mythfilldatabase prob

[12:25:46] gbee: well I'd split the data into two parts, postcode & region – region&xmltvid

[12:43:04] gbee: Juski, you can do it how you like, but I'm just saying if you divide it like I suggested it will make the file/files much smaller and make updating easier :)

[12:43:19] Juski: true
[12:43:33] Juski: parsing em is still where I have the brainblock though
[12:44:02] Juski: I'll get it in the end even if I have to have a line per postcode
[12:44:10] gbee: if it's done in xml format you could quite easily put both set of data in the one file
[12:44:31] Juski: that was my thinking

[13:45:22] antiPosi1: yes
[13:45:36] Imaginativeone: are there any affordable fully-configured MythTV systems?
[13:45:50] antiPosi1: I think I recall from the box for the card it was 544x240
[13:46:10] antiPosi1: but that would look silly, right? since its not 4:3
[13:46:25] GreyFoxx: that would be an interlaced "half" frame
[13:46:39] GreyFoxx: it would be 544x480 with both frames
[13:47:03] antiPosi1: to get the best res out of mythtv, what should I set the Default record profile to be? 544x480?
[13:47:24] antiPosi1: or 544x240
[13:47:28] GreyFoxx: x480
[13:47:33] antiPosi1: or 320x240 which is my current setting
[13:47:46] GreyFoxx: It depends also on what resolution you are running X in and hwo well your card scales
[13:48:08] antiPosi1: I used the 240 as my lowest common denominator and to make it 4:3 I deduced I should make the top 320(hence the 320x240)
[13:48:17] GreyFoxx: The broadcaster is likely only sending 544x480 down the wire
[13:48:39] GreyFoxx: personally I run X as 720x480, and also record at the same
[13:49:00] antiPosi1: my X is 800x600
[13:49:23] antiPosi1: would lowering my res in X reduce some burden on the CPU?
[13:49:37] GreyFoxx: After some tweaking the other day I found that what I have set now is by far the best visual quality I've gotten out of that machine
[13:50:04] GreyFoxx: antiPosix: Not really, since the scaling of the video would be happenning in hardware unless you have another problem
[13:50:08] antiPosi1: lowering my X res would surely free up video ram(I only have 16MB)
[13:51:02] GreyFoxx: I highly doubt that's a problem

[13:54:17] GreyFoxx: 544x480, 640x480 and even try 720x480 just for shits n giggles

[14:13:20] Kelerion: but you *can* adjust contrast and color etc from mythfrontend till you have it how you like it
[14:13:46] stuarta: !trout author stupid article
[14:13:46] ** MythLogBot slaps author with a stupid article trout on behalf of stuarta... **
[14:14:17] Kelerion: and then you can apply that to all channels with a really simple sql statement.. it's in the archives
[14:14:33] Juski_: the point is being missed though isn't it?
[14:14:45] GreyFoxx: Kelerion: Yeah, but a user shouldn't have to enter mysql reaslly
[14:14:45] Kelerion: no.. you shouldn't have to run a sql statement.. I get the point :)
[14:15:15] Juski_: mythtv is alright – I mean _I_ know how to work it :-P
[14:15:17] GreyFoxx: I've got several things I want to work on all making it a much less manual configuration pain for certain things
[14:15:20] Merlin83b: Shouldn't have to run mysql at all, but that's a seperate debate ;-)
[14:16:01] Kelerion: and simplifying and db extraction is all being worked on at the moment..
[14:16:07] Kelerion: abstraction
[14:16:15] hashbang: TBH, though, SQL fiddling is usually easier than some of the UIs on 'appliances'
[14:16:37] Juski_: db absraction is being worked on? not what I'd heard
[14:16:41] hashbang: e.g. /adding/ new channels to an already-customised channel list
[14:16:47] Kelerion: I thought it was
[14:16:59] hashbang: most appliances only seem to allow you to build an entirely new channel list
[14:16:59] Juski_: on the 'to-do if someone gets round to it' list
[14:17:06] GreyFoxx: define abstraction in this context
[14:17:06] Kelerion: ahh ok.. lol
[14:17:36] gbee: don't actually think the article is too bad, he's only mentioning things we already know and plan on improving
[14:17:38] Kelerion: making a db layer that isn't db reliant.. ie you can use whichever db you want.. mysql, pg etc
[14:17:54] GreyFoxx: Noone is working on that , at least not actively
[14:18:12] gbee: if the article bitched about usability after we've made those improvements, then I'd be a little pissed
[14:18:21] Kelerion: ahh ok.. someones obviously thinking about it though.. you have an option in the setup.. it's only got mysql in it at the moment though
[14:19:10] gbee: Kelerion: it's unlikely to happen soon, the work involved isn't actually worth the result imho
[14:19:11] mishehu is now known as res_segfault
[14:19:38] Kelerion: I don't think it is either.. I'm perfectly happy with mysql.. it's the only db I ever use for anything
[14:20:48] gbee: some thought was given to an embedded db with sqlite, but sqlite proved far too slow and also too limited
[14:21:04] Kelerion: I think the article does have one good idea though.. a recommended list of hardware for a specific setup.. "use this hardware.. put it together like this... run through these steps.. your done" type thing
[14:21:25] gbee: in the forseeable future all that is likely to happen is that the db communication will be handled entirely by the backend
[14:21:31] Kelerion: based on the most common type of setup
[14:21:39] gbee: rather than MFE talking to mysql itself
[14:21:56] GreyFoxx: gbee: That's exactly what I was just thinking about
[14:21:57] Kelerion: gbee: wouldn't that slow down mfe though?
[14:22:12] stuarta: not sure Chutt's ever going to accept something like postgres support.
[14:22:28] Merlin83b: I'd vote (as a user of a low power, low memory system) for embedded stuff in BE. I don't really want to run mysql on the system and wouldn't if it wasn't a requirement. That said I fully understand the if you don't like something, fix it nature of open source and will generally keep quiet on such matters :-)
[14:22:41] gbee: not if the myth protocol was replaced with something better, which is the other thing being discussed
[14:23:21] stuarta: gbee: you on RT data or EIT data?
[14:23:49] Kelerion: still be an extra step though.. mfe asks mbe for something.. mbe does it.. mbe passes results to mfe... or wouldn't you really notice much difference?
[14:23:53] gbee: a mix, film showing channels RT data, EIT for the rest

[14:27:15] stuarta: s/the/they
[14:27:44] gbee: exactly what are we getting from EIT these days? cast info? reliable/accurate subtitles? content flags? etc
[14:28:17] stuarta: *reasonable* title, description info +content flags
[14:28:44] stuarta: the monkeys are getting better at being consistent with the way they type the subtitle into the description
[14:29:01] stuarta: which allows the fixups to find them better.
[14:29:30] stuarta: as there's no separate subtitle field in EIT data
[14:29:50] gbee: think I'll stick with RT data for channels that matter – having something not record because of a bad subtitle, or generic description would be annoying
[14:30:22] stuarta: I just regularly review things, and try to conjure up new fixup regexps :-/
[14:30:27] Juski_: well we _do_ pay for rt data afterall ;)
[14:30:50] stuarta: really must try and figure out the 24 regexp to get decent subtitle info.

[16:19:57] gardengnome: despratehouswife: you can attach mythtv to a digital cable box. either via firewire (mythtv will control the box directly then and get all the video over firewire) or with your pvr 150 + irblaster. mythtv will emulate a remote using the irblaster to switch the box to the right channel – recording will take place over the composite/svideo input of your pvr 150 then.

[16:52:52] tank-man: despratehousewif, did you turn up the volume with the keyboard? f10/f11 keys?
[16:53:02] tank-man: in mythtv
[16:53:21] despratehousewif: i normally use the volume keys on my key board
[16:54:00] jg555: The problem just started this morning
[16:54:05] despratehousewif: nothing is muted
[16:54:11] despratehousewif: i have checked
[16:54:21] gardengnome: despratehousewif: humm. and none of these "bars" is set to 0%? or, say, lower than 50%? and no "m" to be seen?
[16:54:50] despratehousewif: a few o f them are blank
[16:55:20] despratehousewif: only like 2 of them have colors in them
[16:55:22] tank-man: jg555, is your zap2it subscription still valid?

[16:56:47] jg555: tank-man, it doesn't make sense at all
[16:56:59] despratehousewif: there are 3 of them with the ketter c over them
[16:57:25] despratehousewif: on is master1 i think the letters are blurry cause i am starring at my tv screen
[16:57:28] gardengnome: despratehousewif: the description can be found *under* these bars, with a blue background.
[16:57:28] jg555: I've used iptraf to watch the packets, it shows a reset during transmission then just stops
[16:58:12] gardengnome: despratehousewif: master1 is "blank"? then use the arrow keys to turn up the volume. what about the others?
[16:58:20] despratehousewif: i hop i get this right
[16:59:15] despratehousewif: master 1, 3d conts, 3dconts, 3d contsd, surround, surround
[16:59:43] gardengnome: despratehousewif: which ones are turned up? "master" and "pcm"?
[16:59:50] despratehousewif: yes
[17:00:39] gardengnome: despratehousewif: that looks fine :/ turn up "master 1" just for fun and start mythfrontend to see if it's working

[17:00:56] despratehousewif: how do i turn it up?
[17:01:24] gardengnome: despratehousewif: arrow keys
[17:02:59] despratehousewif: not working still

[17:04:23] despratehousewif: just not when mythtv is on
[17:04:41] despratehousewif: this sucks
[17:04:42] despratehousewif: lol
[17:04:51] tank-man: try f10 and f11 for volume in mythtv
[17:05:02] Kyler: Is there a good reference for how to transcode (using nuvexport) MythTV recordings so that MS Windows users can view them? My wife is trying to show a news clip in her class tomorrow and there's a Windows machine in the room.
[17:05:05] gardengnome: despratehousewif: try what tank-man said, if you haven't already.
[17:05:43] tank-man: Kyler, nuvexport is just a perl script, you need the depenancy apps installed
[17:05:45] despratehousewif: nothing
[17:06:24] Kyler: tank-man: I'm aware of that. I'm looking for help creating files that MS users can view.
[17:06:36] gardengnome: despratehousewif: do you have an old recording? one where you are *sure* that sound used to work?
[17:06:47] tank-man: any files outputed from nuxexport can be played in windows
[17:07:07] gardengnome: tank-man: no. i don't think so... maybe you'll need additional codecs.
[17:07:17] gardengnome: s/maybe/likely/
[17:07:44] Kyler: Right. She's playing one now and only getting audio.

[17:08:28] Kyler: MPEG1 is a little huge.
[17:08:34] despratehousewif: so i wanted to look into the audi ste up n myth tv
[17:08:55] tank-man: then install the codecs on the windows box if you can
[17:09:18] GreyFoxx: Kyler: You can use nuvexport to convert to an xvid/avi, or if you are using aPVR card and it's already mpeg2 you can just use a player that can play that
[17:09:21] despratehousewif: audio setup
[17:09:25] Kyler: tank-man: That's the point. It's not managed by me. I'm looking for help creating files that *can* be played already.
[17:09:44] despratehousewif: it says audio output device /dev/dsp
[17:09:52] tank-man: you are stuck with mpg1 then
[17:09:56] Kyler: GreyFoxx: I have it in MPEG2. I'm hoping I can put it in something a bit more efficient.
[17:10:03] despratehousewif: then it gives me 3 options
[17:10:14] GreyFoxx: Kyler: Then nuvexport is likely your best option.
[17:10:24] despratehousewif: enable ac3 to spdif passthrough
[17:10:35] Kyler: GreyFoxx: Yes, the question is what nuvexport options do I use?
[17:10:41] gardengnome: despratehousewif: nope.
[17:10:41] despratehousewif: agressive sound card buffering
[17:10:44] GreyFoxx: Kyler: BUT usually you have to install a codec on the windows machine to make it play divx, xvid etc
[17:10:54] GreyFoxx: the default windows codec support kinda sucks
[17:11:00] despratehousewif: use internal volume controls
[17:11:01] gardengnome: despratehousewif: i think you're looking for "audio device" or something – sorry, i only know the german terms.
[17:11:17] Kyler: O.k., so the bottom line is that Windows doesn't come with any low bandwidth codecs that nuvexport supports, right?
[17:11:17] gardengnome: despratehousewif: it should be on the same screen.
[17:11:31] GreyFoxx: Kyler: Pretty much
[17:11:40] GreyFoxx: install an xvid codec and you're gold
[17:12:02] Kyler: Grr...I'm not happy with the answer but I appreciate the confirmation.

[17:14:59] Kyler: Just in case I can get a codec on these Windows machines...any advice? I'd like to put MPlayer on them but just a codec for whatever's already configured is probably better. Are any of them known to be good and safe?
[17:15:37] Kyler: GreyFoxx: Ah! Good point. I'll throw an MPEG2 file somewhere and have her check.
[17:15:41] GreyFoxx: Well, mplayer comes with mpeg2 support, not sure if it still requires you to install a seperate mpeg44 codec or not

[17:15:54] tank-man: vlc can play mpeg2

[17:16:28] Kyler: gardengnome: Good idea. I'd like to send her out into the world with a USB drive that will handle such things.
[17:16:30] GreyFoxx: and you can just drag and drop the file onto the mplayer app
[17:17:08] Kyler: tank-man: VLC would be nice because she could easily view streaming video.
[17:17:37] Kyler: I'd like this to be integrated with the browser she uses though so it seems like a codec is the way to go.

[20:45:57] damian666: hmm sorry i meant my recordings from live-tv instead of movies
[20:46:25] fred_basset: at the moment there isn't a direct, easily accessible method to do that
[20:46:37] fred_basset: you will have to write yourself a user job to do it.
[20:46:38] Anduin: damian666: mythexport can probably do it (I don't use it)

[21:52:27] kormoc: fysa, my current mythbox (Celeron 2.53 ghz, 6200) plays my 720p H264 testclip just fine, but I'm curious as to how it would handle 1080i
[21:52:40] Sebulba02: ctrl+f1+q+f5+alt
[21:52:45] fysa: let me check.
[21:53:03] sigger: I would thnk 1080i is easier than 720p, no?
[21:53:07] fysa: http://www.nzone.com/object/nzone_hdcontent_home.html
[21:53:13] sigger: kormoc, thank you.
[21:53:26] sigger: this gives me a really good running start.
[21:53:33] fysa: wait.
[21:53:43] kormoc: sigger, g'luck with it, let us know what you end up with and how it works out
[21:54:13] fysa: http://trailer.nerodigital.com/eng/The_Greate . . . _Played.html
[21:54:26] sigger: anything you'd recommend in the micro-atx size? wanna try to get smaller.
[21:54:33] fysa: I think those are all MPEG-4 AVC.
[21:54:39] sigger: gotta run, but will read later. thanks again
[21:55:00] fysa: Apple has a bunch too.
[21:55:04] kormoc: sigger, sadly, not really. I've only delt with ATX, BTX, and mini-atx. Others in here from time to time have
[21:55:10] kormoc: fysa, nifty, thanks
[21:56:02] fysa: Once we have CoreAVC, I think I could handle 1080p.
[21:56:06] sigger: what size is that shuttle box?
[21:56:14] kormoc: sigger, mini-atx
[21:56:52] sigger: kormoc: k, I'll poke around on newegg some more.
[21:56:52] kormoc: sigger, it's 13" x 9" X 8" or so
[21:57:27] sigger: ya its got the size on bottom, I just didn't know what mobo standard name it was based on

[22:14:45] jams: yep
[22:14:48] Sebulba02: wise move
[22:15:00] Juski: what/where/who changed? argghh
[22:15:35] ** jams is still miffed at loosing his svn server **
[22:15:46] jams: stupid linode
[22:16:08] stuarta: what did it do to you?
[22:16:31] Sebulba02: a good imagination can be dangerous with that question..
[22:16:39] Juski: if/when mythtv ever did away with the Qt painter, would it still have to prescale the theme images & stuff?
[22:17:04] jams: stuarta- it allowed me to format the drive without backup up !
[22:17:18] stuarta: hehe....
[22:17:31] jams: i switched from centos to arch and I forgot to grab the svn stuff
[22:17:33] Sebulba02: did it at least ask you if you REALLY wanted to do that?

[22:18:31] gardengnome: jams: ouch :)

[22:18:56] Juski: jams: yeah that's what you'd reasonably expect.. let the GPU do the scaling :)
[22:19:54] jams: what the heck, might as well set the thing up right now
[22:20:09] jams: it will be a nice break from .cpp
[22:20:57] Juski: stuarta: just remembered. I still need to send you that exporter script to have a look at
[22:21:25] stuarta: trac it
[22:21:32] stuarta: or email it
[22:22:15] Juski: I'll just save this stuff then dig it out
[22:23:19] Juski: whoah. where has the 'next' button gorn?
[22:27:13] Sebulba02: gorn? :p
[22:27:36] stuarta: anyone know a uk equivalent of linode?
[22:28:53] jams: nope
[22:31:10] Juski: stuarta: hope this is all in order: http://svn.mythtv.org/trac/ticket/2233  :)
[22:32:30] stuarta: do those parameters line up with those that are passed to a generic user script?
[22:32:50] Juski: stuarta: I have it running as a user job on my box, so I think that'd be a yes :)
[22:35:58] stuarta: although I figure it should be possible to pull the exportdir out of the DB
[22:38:34] Juski: stuarta: I was gonna do it that way at first but I thought it might be handy to have more than one variation so you could export different types of show to different places
[22:40:37] Juski: I'll be using that script a lot come 0.20
[22:41:21] Juski: I think I listen to more radio than I watch TV
[22:41:44] stuarta: i record more than I watch.
[22:42:04] Juski: I deleted about 300GB of unwatched crap again yesterday
[22:42:16] Juski: but recorded 'knight rider 2000'... heh
[22:42:39] stuarta: tho I just made it through 6hrs of tv in 3.5–4hrs
[22:42:59] Sebulba02: heh
[22:43:03] Juski: that's going some
[22:43:32] Sebulba02: so you can accomplish more in the day too
[22:44:43] Juski: I could accomplish more in a day at work if people stopped bloody pestering me to do crappy little jobs they could do themselves
[22:45:00] stuarta: 1 of the few shows commflagging works on, plus 1.35x timestretch :)

[22:46:43] Sebulba02: there's a new commflagger?
[22:47:45] stuarta: yup
[22:48:25] Sebulba02: can't wait to see that
[22:48:33] Juski: or not see it ;)
[22:48:35] stuarta: still a work in progress.

[22:54:29] Juski: nope
[22:54:42] jams: alieas- it is nice
[22:55:06] Juski: there's mythstream but it's no Mac app yet
[22:55:15] Sebulba02: wouldn't that just require a webbrowser/
[22:55:16] alieas: yeah, looks pretty interesting actually I'm a little jealous
[22:55:16] Sebulba02: ?
[22:55:30] Juski: and it's not one of the best maintained plugins, is mythstream
[22:55:34] alieas: flash player really
[22:57:45] alieas: but integrated into the front end with previews, etc
[23:01:49] Juski: anyway not being able to see youtube on a 32" screen is no loss to me

[23:14:03] simon_c_home: Hi all. I've got some problems picking up all the cahnnels on my dvb-t card. I'm using 0.19, and the scan picks up some of the channels, but not all of them.
[23:14:32] Agrajag-: does the 'scan' program from dvb-utils pick them up?
[23:14:33] stuarta: simon_c_home: keep scanning, or try head.
[23:14:48] stuarta: it eventually finds all of them
[23:14:53] simon_c_home: Agrajag-: I've not tried that. Will do.
[23:15:06] simon_c_home: stuarta: Just keep on re-running the scan you mean ?
[23:15:19] Juski: you've not tried dvb-utils? go straight to jail, do not collect £200
[23:15:25] stuarta: yep, 0.19 scanning had lots of issues, which have been fixed.
[23:15:37] Juski: very fixed :)  :)  :)

[23:17:03] pushpop: Anyone here use MythTV via firewire to there cablebox?
[23:17:08] simon_c_home: If got the database form 0.18 availale , if I just inserted the rows from the channel table from there, would that cause me any problems ?
[23:17:33] simon_c_home: c/if/I've/
[23:17:35] Agrajag-: i've got dvb problems with 2.6.16 and 2.6.17 though, 2.6.15 works fine. appears to be a myth problem since mplayer works fine (myth just doesn't get a lock on some channels)
[23:17:39] stuarta: simon_c_home: should be able to just put in the 0.18 database, and start it up and it'll upgrade it to 0.19
[23:18:15] simon_c_home: stuarta: yeh, I wanted to start from scratch, to document how I did it.
[23:18:17] stuarta: Agrajag-: yeah, I have issues with >2.5.15.6
[23:18:40] stuarta: simon_c_home: ah, no worries.
[23:18:43] simon_c_home: I've been running on 0.19 for a week now, and just noticed I dont' have all teh channels, so the database is kind of diverging from the 0.18 one.
[23:18:48] jams: Juski what xml editor do you use?

[23:19:00] Anduin: stuarta: I know, I actually do have mine able to go to 2.5x (easy change if you only care about the speed), great for news shows.
[23:19:03] quink: whats required for mythtv to process live tv input?
[23:19:21] simon_c_home: I'll re-run the scan a few more times, and failling that just import the table rows.

[23:23:01] pushpop: xris: I can get all the functionality myth offers va firewire?
[23:23:03] pushpop: via*
[23:23:14] xris: yeah
[23:23:27] xris: depending on your cable box and cable provider, of course
[23:23:47] pushpop: xris: I'm kinda new to the world of linux, is it hard to configure it? i'm running ubuntu
[23:24:33] xris: no worse than mythtv itself.. a lot easier than some of the tuner cards.

[23:40:19] d0nk3y: sudo apt-get build-dep mythtv : It says it could not be satisfied, is there something wrong with that command? I am using Ubuntu

[23:40:45] gardengnome: Jusk1: then you should read some reviews of the E6300.. nice & affordable CPU
[23:41:02] stuarta: night all
[23:41:05] gardengnome: d0nk3y: you're probably missing deb-src entries in your sources.list...

[23:41:37] d0nk3y: gardengnome: sorry I am kinda new to linux/ubuntu how would I go about addint it?

[23:42:47] Jusk1: gardengnome: CPU reviews.. pah. I hate them & their superior 'we got 0.5 fps better with 16 meglaposers enabled in <somegame> than with a <insert random CPU codename here>"
[23:43:03] Jusk1: toms1337ware :)
[23:43:36] d0nk3y: gardengnome: what a apt-get install mythtv be ok?
[23:43:39] d0nk3y: would*
[23:44:16] Jusk1: d0nk3y: not with the standard umbongo package manager setup, no
[23:44:32] d0nk3y: crap
[23:44:47] d0nk3y: I would i add deb-src to my sources.list?
[23:44:50] d0nk3y: how*
[23:45:10] Jusk1: you need to know where the debs live of course :)

[23:45:47] Jusk1: gardengnome: that CPU indeed looks spiffy. now all I need is a motherboard without that stupid pci-x connector & enough proper PCI slots...
[23:46:25] xris: Jusk1: um, isn't pci-x backwards compatible?
[23:46:27] gardengnome: Jusk1: you won't get any mainboards without pci express slots anymore :/
[23:46:48] xris: the two on my old dual athlon board were (or maybe I'm confusing -X with 64 bit pci)
[23:47:00] gardengnome: isn't there a difference between pci-x and pci-e(express)?
[23:47:07] Jusk1: e/x.. same diff to me.. I'm totally alienated
[23:47:10] xris: gardengnome: huge diff
[23:47:19] xris: X is an extra-long pci slot
[23:47:24] gardengnome: xris: well, he meant pci-e :)
[23:47:29] xris: so I noticed.
[23:48:10] gardengnome: well, maybe you can get a socket 775 board with an AGP slot, but keep in mind it'll also have to support the new core 2 duo cpus..

[23:48:40] gardengnome: these nvidia 7600GS cards look nice, though.
[23:49:19] gardengnome: add 2 gig of RAM... and you'are gonna be poor again in no time :)

[23:51:12] d0nk3y: marc@ubuntu:~/mythtv$ ./configure --prefix=/usr --enable-xvmc --enable-firewire
[23:51:13] d0nk3y: You must have the Lame MP3 encoding library installed to compile Myth.
[23:51:17] gardengnome: Jusk1: i don't think core 2 duo processors are going to work with that...
[23:51:19] d0nk3y: Any idea's on that?

[23:51:49] gardengnome: d0nk3y: apt-get install liblame-dev
[23:51:53] d0nk3y: thx
[23:52:04] Jusk1: gardengnome: asrock's site says different
[23:52:57] Jusk1: 5 PCI slots, no need to upgrade graphics... works with core duo.. there has to be some catch
[23:53:23] gardengnome: http://www.asrock.com/product/775i65PE.htm – no it does not. :)
[23:53:40] gardengnome: http://www.asrock.com/product/ConRoe865PE.htm – maybe you're looking for that...
[23:53:51] Jusk1: bugger

[23:54:24] gardengnome: the last one is probably the same, maybe with modified voltage regulator modules and a BIOS update.
[23:54:25] Sebulba02: hah, someone managed to finally get the acronym BFG into their product.
[23:54:34] gardengnome: well, it's an asrock board. :)
[23:57:35] Jusk1: and no UK seller I know of stocks it
[23:57:49] d0nk3y: gardengnome: I am not able to run the "qmake" command is there a way to add that command to the system?
[23:58:22] gardengnome: Jusk1: it's probably too new. i don't think there are a lot of boards out there yet... but don't take my word on it, i'm not really well-informed anymore about hardware..
[23:58:45] gardengnome: d0nk3y: have you read the official mythtv documentation?
[23:59:09] d0nk3y: gardengnome: I am following http://www.ubuntu-mythtv.blogspot.com/
