[00:10:31] greg_: Access denied for user 'mythtv'@'localhost' (using password: YES)
[00:10:38] greg_: basically that

[00:11:22] briand: "bad magic number!!"
[00:11:24] briand: ;)
[00:11:37] greg_: ?
[00:12:01] kormoc: it didn't crash, it errored out cause you screwed up the db setup somehow
[00:12:10] Anduin: greg_: That is an extremely common error, not a crash.
[00:12:23] greg_: it closes out on me
[00:12:29] greg_: i call that a crash
[00:12:32] kormoc: not at all
[00:12:50] kormoc: a crash is cause of a bug that causes a unsafe shutdown of the application
[00:12:51] greg_: w/e
[00:12:56] greg_: how do i fix it?
[00:13:05] kormoc: this is just a misconfiguration and it exited out correctly and safely
[00:13:10] kormoc: you fix your database permissions
[00:13:28] kormoc: read the myth documentation on setting up your database, it's all covered there
[00:13:59] greg_: why read u already kno
[00:14:06] greg_: u could just tell me
[00:14:11] kormoc: no, I can't

[00:15:00] greg_: all i did was
[00:15:02] greg_: sudo apt-get install mysql-server
[00:15:13] kormoc: well, you need to follow the other instructions
[00:15:44] greg_: they dont have just 1 guide
[00:15:56] kormoc: mythtv does

[00:28:43] greg_: plz
[00:29:02] Anduin: greg_: You will win few friends in this channel by 1) refusing to read the docs (or even google for an extremely common problem) 2) keep typing plz instead of please
[00:29:21] greg_: ive googled for 3 days
[00:29:28] Scuzzle: Did you follow the instructions at http://www.mythtv.org/docs/mythtv-HOWTO-6.html especially section 6.2, since that seems to be where your problem lies.
[00:29:38] Scuzzle: Maybe...
[00:31:17] greg_: ii go to an irc channel to get an answer not to get told to go to google
[00:31:41] Scuzzle: Did I point you at Google, or at a manual page?
[00:32:23] greg_: no
[00:32:31] kormoc: that wasn't a yes or no question
[00:32:34] greg_: talkin to everyone else
[00:34:37] greg_: To setup the initial MySQL databases:
[00:34:37] greg_: $ cd database
[00:34:37] greg_: Mandriva and Red Hat Linux/Fedora Core
[00:34:37] greg_: $ mysql -u root < mc.sql
[00:34:37] greg_: Debian 3.0
[00:34:38] greg_: $ mysql < mc.sql
[00:34:40] greg_: Gentoo
[00:34:42] greg_: $ su
[00:34:44] greg_: # mysql < /usr/share/mythtv/database/mc.sql
[00:34:46] greg_: none of those work
[00:34:56] Anduin: greg_: Do not paste here.
[00:35:16] greg_: k
[00:35:34] greg_: well none of the comands on mythtv site work
[00:36:21] Scuzzle: You mentioned you installed mysql from apt... Did you install myth from apt too?
[00:36:30] greg_: yes
[00:36:56] greg_: thats how the ubuntu tutorial said to
[00:37:36] Scuzzle: Does typing 'mysql' on it's own get you connected to mysql?
[00:38:20] greg_: no
[00:38:29] greg_: i get error acess denied
[00:38:31] kormoc: he didn't start it running

[00:40:08] Scuzzle: I'm not familiar with Ubuntu, so not sure what it's procedure for starting mysql is... But probably something like "/etc/init.d/mysql start"

[00:41:34] greg_: i hav no idea
[00:41:52] Scuzzle: Well try it then...
[00:42:18] greg_: no such file or directory
[00:44:17] Scuzzle: Is mysql in the /etc/init.d directory?
[00:44:26] kormoc: it might be mysqld
[00:45:56] greg_: i can get to mysql administration is that what u want?
[00:47:03] Scuzzle: Just open a command line, and type "ls /etc/init.d/*sql*"
[00:47:43] greg_: no such file
[00:48:07] Scuzzle: When you used APT to install mysql did it claim to have worked?
[00:48:16] greg_: yes
[00:49:00] greg_: its in my services
[00:51:34] Scuzzle: When you were attempting to use the 'mysql' command earlier, what user are you?
[00:52:20] greg_: me
[00:52:31] greg_: i cant be root
[00:52:37] greg_: in ubuntu
[00:53:45] Scuzzle: Sorry, greg I think my zero knowledge of Ubuntu is going to prevent me helping you much. So when you open up a terminal window, you can't type 'su' to become root?

[00:55:46] Scuzzle: Well, what happens?
[00:55:52] greg_: i get mysql monitoring thingy
[00:56:54] Scuzzle: You know that manual page I pointed you at earlier, it was requiring you to have a file called mc.sql, did you ever find/look for that?
[00:57:43] greg_: i opened when u sent it

[00:59:37] greg_: *sigh*
[01:00:51] greg_: i guess its impossible
[01:00:57] cheatersrealm: what?
[01:01:02] Anduin: clearly
[01:01:05] Scuzzle: greg_: Sorry, it's two in the morning now, I'm going to have to leave you to figure it out. You might want to type 'show databases;' in the mysql "monitoring thingy" if you see a mythconverg, it means the database has at least been set up. The manuals will help, but you may need to refer to the mysql manuals too, if security is broken for you.
[01:02:08] Scuzzle: If it's impossible, then alot of folks here must be superheroes of some kind... :p
[01:02:33] greg_: i mean impossible for me
[01:03:10] Scuzzle: But g'niite everyone, *yawns*.

[02:06:53] greg_: they all get an error having to do with mythtv database
[02:06:55] Anduin: greg_: Exactly one of which will use the myth database.
[02:07:11] ender224455: Artos: thanks, I will try following these steps (I'm just worried Knoppmyth will have some differences as far as directories go)

[07:31:34] gambler: Is there a tv-tuner card that is reccomended for myth? Im in australia...
[07:31:57] Juski: what a question
[07:32:32] Juski: mythtv doesn't recommend tuners. but if you're in Australia I recommend you take a look at dvb-t tuners if you live in an area which can get digital
[07:32:39] gambler: my first mythtv project didnt work out ... I had an analogue card.
[07:33:01] Juski: see www.linuxtv.org & the dvb wiki for details on which dvb-t tuners work in linux
[07:34:26] Juski: you might even be able to get HDTV where you live with a dvb-t tuner :)
[07:34:39] gambler: juski what is the difference between an analogue and digital tuner?
[07:35:24] Juski: well for one thing with a digital tuner – there's no conversion of the video & audio signal – you get the mpeg2 stream right there onto the PCI bus. it's more like DVD quality than TV
[07:35:58] gambler: interesting....do most new tvs use digital tuners?
[07:36:25] Juski: also – with dvb-t tuners there's no encoding involved so the load on your cpu while recording from even 3 cards will be very low indeed (my old 800mhz system could record 3 shows at the same time & still stream to my frontend)
[07:36:50] Juski: let's get this straight... 'digital tuner' does not necessarily mean dvb-t
[07:37:23] Juski: they're talking about switching analogue off in Oz anyway – have you missed that?
[07:37:55] Juski: http://www.dba.org.au/
[07:39:03] Juski: anyway I need to go showing (I steeeeeeenk)
[07:39:09] Juski: s/showing/shower
[07:39:50] gambler: ok go clean thyself
[07:47:04] Juski: yeh so I'd say if you can get digital tv where you live, go for a dvb-t tuner or two. Just avoid the Hauppauge Nova-T 500 (note I said nova-t 500) cos there are no working linux drivers yet

[13:11:59] Kelerion: are the sockets compatible basicly?
[13:12:16] Zider: doubt that
[13:12:58] Juski: with enough force, I bet anything could be made to fit ;)
[13:13:35] ** Kelerion chuckles **
[13:15:25] riddlebox: is anyone using fedora to run mythtv?
[13:17:23] Juski: does anyone get tired of seeing metaquestions?
[13:18:37] Zider: metawhat?
[13:19:24] Juski: very very general questions
[13:19:38] Ribs: riddlebox, I would suspect so... there are even dedicated guides to doing so
[13:19:47] Juski: just ask the question riddlebox – get down to the bones of what you want to know
[13:20:53] riddlebox: in fedora, can you issue a yum upgrade and recieve a new kernel and still have the ivtv drivers work, so you dont have to recompile the drivers all the time?
[13:22:55] Juski: that'd very much depend on whether or not there's an ivtv package for the kernel version you upgrade to
[13:23:43] riddlebox: I have mythtv running in ubuntu right now, but I have to watch my updates to make sure I dont break dependency on the kernel
[13:24:17] Juski: I tend to ignore most of the updates
[13:24:34] Juski: I upgrade stuff when I see fit thanks very much mr Umbongo
[13:24:39] Kelerion: once it's running properly.. why even do any updates? your not getting any benefit out of them
[13:25:04] Juski: yeh it's not like some 1337 h@xx0r is gonna take your myth box down in the middle of the night is it?
[13:25:26] Kelerion: only time I let my myth box get updates is when I'm uprading myth itself
[13:26:08] Juski: I still need to find out how to turn the damn update notification off
[13:26:24] Juski: couldn't find it on umbongo's website
[13:27:04] Kelerion: same here.. I removed update-notifier from the session startup too.. didn't do a bloody thing.. lol
[13:27:29] Juski: might alias it to something harmless
[13:28:00] Juski: unless it's built into the frickin core.. nothing would surprise me
[13:29:04] Ribs: Do mythtv and mysql 5.0 get along these days?
[13:29:11] Ribs: I heared there used to be issues
[13:29:12] Kelerion: I suppose you could remove the notification panel.. things like that tend to stop working then I've noticed
[13:29:37] riddlebox: Ribs, mythtv 0.19 works fine with it
[13:29:43] Ribs: fantastic, cheers.
[13:30:09] Ribs: is it 0.18 that has the issues?
[13:30:20] riddlebox: thats how I understand it
[13:30:43] Ribs: hrm
[13:31:22] Juski: 0.19-fixes works fine. 0.19 does not
[13:31:34] riddlebox: ahh thats it
[13:31:37] Ribs: ah
[13:31:52] Ribs: it's a shitter that Ubuntu only supplies 0.18
[13:32:01] Ribs: maybe I should just bite the bullet and compile the damned thing
[13:32:10] riddlebox: yeah I know, I had to compile everything as well
[13:32:15] Juski: Ribs: if you're on dapper you have no need to compile
[13:32:25] Juski: get the hamsta debs... see the channel faq

[13:52:14] riddlebox: Juski, if I have compiled my mythtv stuff, if I put those sources in, will it erase my database and stuff?
[13:52:38] Juski: if you value your DB, you'd best back it up before upgrading

[13:53:58] riddlebox: cheatersrealm,

[13:54:18] cheatersrealm: I was planning on modifying http://www.section6.net/wiki/index.php/Instal . . . Ubuntu_Linux
[13:54:22] cheatersrealm: and using the package in multiverse
[13:54:54] Juski: cheatersrealm: don't go there. get the hamsta debs instead
[13:54:59] Juski: see the channel faq
[13:55:02] cheatersrealm: ok
[13:55:24] cheatersrealm: I just installed it so it'd dist-upgrading right now
[13:55:46] riddlebox: cheatersrealm, http://hyams.webhop.net/mythtv/myth_ubuntu.html and also use the FAQ in the topic to settle any differences

[13:56:00] cheatersrealm: aight
[13:56:25] cheatersrealm: I'll use the hamsta debs then
[13:56:33] cheatersrealm: I liked the section6 guide I have though
[13:56:36] cheatersrealm: it seems to be good
[13:56:42] cheatersrealm: except you gotta build everything from source
[13:56:49] Juski: heh
[13:57:25] cheatersrealm: yeah personal websites get hidden sometimes
[13:57:25] riddlebox: Juski, this guy took some extra steps which I though was a cool thing, like tells you how to create a cron job to make sure the mythbackend is running all the time
[13:57:30] cheatersrealm: on google
[13:57:56] Juski: riddlebox: generally not a good idea. if mythbackend crashes I'd want to know WHY
[13:58:08] cheatersrealm: anyone know if there is ubuntu kernel that supports v4l?
[13:58:13] cheatersrealm: or does it already support v4l?
[13:58:19] gardengnome: cheatersrealm: it does already.
[13:58:44] Juski: hey hey gardengnome :) did you get all tidied up in time?
[13:58:51] gardengnome: Juski: no. hehehe :)
[13:59:01] gardengnome: gardengnome: i'm still at it. :)
[13:59:50] Juski: got a call from mrs J this morning, apologising for not ringing last night... jesus she's not well today though.. lol
[13:59:56] cheatersrealm: ok, so it seems that my kernel loaded 'tuner' so I hope that it's got the right stuff
[14:00:20] gardengnome: Juski: heheh :)
[14:01:50] Juski: looked in on her when I got home an hour or so ago.. bucket by the bed :-O getting no sympathy from me :-P
[14:02:58] gardengnome: Juski: you need to get her some food. chinese, maybe?
[14:03:14] gardengnome: fish and chips should work, too.

[14:03:42] gardengnome: hehe :)
[14:04:29] Juski: maybe a nice greasy fry-up
[14:05:00] Juski: seriously.. stay out all night without telling me there are repurcusions
[14:05:09] riddlebox: Juski, if you do not like personal websites as tips and stuff, how do you feel about having packages in other repositories instead of the main ones?
[14:05:35] cheatersrealm: riddlebox: it's hard to get packages into repositories
[14:05:38] gardengnome: riddlebox: well. how do you get stuff into the wiki? you edit it. how do you stuff into the main repositories?
[14:05:40] Juski: riddlebox: needs must. there's no good reason for the likes of ubuntu not to have 0.19 packages in there
[14:05:40] cheatersrealm: riddlebox: it's easy to edit a wiki
[14:06:13] gardengnome: i think they don't do upgrades of packages once a distro is released
[14:06:24] Juski: when I say 'no good reason' – I mean the reason is stupid IP & software patent law
[14:06:35] riddlebox: ohh I see
[14:06:53] Juski: the wiki's been there for ages – people should use it otherwise what's the point in having it?
[14:07:16] gardengnome: yep
[14:07:29] Juski: right now it's sometimes like a juggling act, reading between the pages of two or more howto guides
[14:07:30] gardengnome: and some of the stuff in those external websites is just... wrong, or way too complicated
[14:07:55] Juski: and when do you ever see someone explain why your're doing what they tell you to do?
[14:08:01] riddlebox: thats true, I was just wondering, cause right after dapper came out, the only thing you could do was force the install of mysql4 and mythtv-0.18 but there were so many problems getting that to work
[14:08:15] Juski: how can noobs learn if they're just typing stuff into terminals like dumb monkeys?
[14:08:24] riddlebox: and most of the other repositories didnt yet have working 0.19 packages yet
[14:08:43] riddlebox: so I was forced to compile my own
[14:09:11] Juski: with the mythtv.org docs – you can just about figure out what to do (IMHO) regarding doing the actual setup. but sometimes it's the _install_ itself that gives folks the headaches
[14:09:51] Juski: anyway things will improve a lot in future. people are working on ways to make less stuff for peeps to configure from scratch by themselves
[14:09:58] riddlebox: Juski, I agree, the docs are actually good, that is how I learned to save my database and put it back in after a new install

[17:12:58] Ribs: jenn`, now is a good time to stop :)
[17:13:01] jenn`: lol
[17:13:11] jenn`: I have USB mice now...is that ok?
[17:13:18] Ribs: USB is hotpluggable, yes
[17:13:21] JohnFlux_: yeah USB is fine
[17:13:22] jenn`: k then
[17:13:23] Ribs: it was designed to be
[17:13:35] jenn`: learn something new everyday
[17:13:51] jenn`: anyway....i'm gonna repeat my question now in hopes that someone somewhere has an idea
[17:14:07] Ribs: jenn`, mysql screwup?
[17:14:08] jenn`: I'm trying to get mythtv up and running and I get an error: QMYSQL3: Unable to connect Database error was: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2) mysqld.sock is really located in /tmp
[17:14:26] Ribs: jenn`, MySql server version & MythTV version please...
[17:14:40] JohnQ: There has to be a way to fix this without rebooting.. I mean... its a mouse!
[17:14:44] jenn`: lol
[17:15:02] Ribs: JohnQ, Unplug the mouse... then the pointer won't jerk around anymore
[17:15:05] jenn`: mysql Ver 14.7 Distrib 4.1.21, for pc-linux-gnu (i686) using readline 5.1
[17:15:23] Ribs: jenn`, translated means MySQL version 5 ?

[17:15:35] jenn`: i dunno
[17:15:43] GreyFoxx: Ribs: No, it means 4.1.21
[17:15:50] Ribs: hrm
[17:16:02] Ribs: well, there goes my theory of the mysql v5 problems...
[17:16:06] jenn`: i'm running gentoo as well, if it means anything
[17:16:09] jenn`: lol
[17:16:14] JohnFlux_: MSDN report of the hot plug mouse problem: http://blogs.msdn.com/oldnewthing/archive/2004/09/17/230839.aspx
[17:16:19] JohnFlux_: btw ;)
[17:16:33] jenn`: well the gentoo-wiki page on mythtv suggested it was a problem with qt not having the mysql use flag, so i recompiled it with it and made sure qt3 was the only version on my system (it wasnt, but it is now)
[17:16:34] ** Ribs resists the urge to blame gentoo **
[17:16:40] jenn`: hey now.
[17:16:50] Ribs: I have baaad memories of Gentoo
[17:16:54] jenn`: i <3 gentoo
[17:17:39] Ribs: you did restart the server after compiling it again, right?
[17:17:50] Ribs: oh, it's qt you recompiled
[17:17:50] Ribs: hrm
[17:18:00] JohnFlux_: if I want to play movies remotely, do I have to store the movies in a place that all machines can view them from
[17:18:04] JohnFlux_: or can I stream them
[17:18:11] jenn`: i restarted mysql and mythbackend after i did anything at all, just because i had no better ideas
[17:18:15] JohnFlux_: currently my remote machine seems to be looking locally

[17:30:16] JohnFlux_: but I want the dvd cover images :)
[17:30:48] JohnFlux_: well i have a few old touchscreen machines
[17:31:12] JohnFlux_: this way i can browse on the touchscreen, then when I play, it plays on the touchscreen and on the main screen at the same time
[17:31:31] JohnFlux_: vlc can stream a video to many computers at a time
[17:31:33] JohnFlux_: it's mostly me just mucking about heh
[17:31:53] GreyFoxx: I use vlc multicast all the time at work
[17:32:29] JohnFlux_: ah cool
[17:32:35] JohnFlux_: i can just setup a ssh -c vlc multicast for the play command right?

[17:33:58] sceo: I was importing a DVD and it died half-way (literally; that is — it ripped into a giant .vob in /myth/tmp — then I got "Error: couldn't start transcode" Can I 'transcode' a .vob file directly?
[17:34:06] JohnFlux_: hmm, is hard setting up an nfs server? :)

[17:34:56] JohnFlux_: GreyFoxx: i'm looking for a package to apt-get ;)
[17:34:59] mdfedderly: so when I try and watch tv, I just get a blue screen, what does that mean?
[17:35:09] GreyFoxx: JohnFlux_: You don't need a package
[17:35:19] GreyFoxx: IT should be already built into your distro
[17:35:27] GreyFoxx: you just need to configure and enable it at most
[17:35:30] sceo: Anduin: mtd is running
[17:35:57] JohnFlux_: just reading instructions now ..
[17:35:59] JohnFlux_: when they load :/ stupid internet connection
[17:36:02] sceo: the thought then, is, I can transcode [options options
[17:36:06] Anduin: sceo: Yeah, you should check the mtd log to see why it failed to transcode, but when transcoding mtd just calls transcode with the .vob
[17:36:09] sceo: ] myrip.vob?
[17:36:52] sceo: ok — maybe running transcode will give me better error messages... my log just has " job failed: job dvd 1 1 3 0 -1 /myth/music/Movies/mymovie"

[18:32:41] jenn`: Anduin, mysql was definitely using /tmp/mysql.sock
[18:32:43] jenn`: no question about it
[18:32:52] jenn`: mythtv was looking for /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock...dont know why it would be
[18:32:57] jenn`: unless its like hardcoded
[18:33:13] Anduin: jenn`: It is unless it finds the right entry in a my.cnf file

[18:34:15] gardengnome: mdfedderly: use dmesg to see if your card driver was properly loaded.
[18:34:17] Anduin: jenn`: It has nothing to do with myth
[18:34:26] jenn`: then what else could it be?
[18:34:29] jenn`: if there's no other my.cnf

[18:40:36] cheatersrealm: tvtime works but only for composite (and I assume s-video, but haven't tried it)
[18:40:40] cheatersrealm: the antenna in does not
[18:40:59] cheatersrealm: antenna gives me no signal in tvtime
[18:41:06] cheatersrealm: and it does the same blue screen thing in mythtv
[18:41:18] cheatersrealm: so I assume that mythtv is also getting 'no signal' from the antenna

[18:46:46] cheatersrealm: dunno, I was hoping someone had an answer about why ati tv wonder pro's antenna in was flaky under linux
[18:48:54] gardengnome: tuner.ko was probably loaded with a wrong tuner type.
[18:50:07] cheatersrealm: according to ubuntu
[18:50:13] cheatersrealm: it thinks that it is a tv wonder pro
[18:50:18] cheatersrealm: under the device manager

[18:53:55] cheatersrealm: what line should I grep dmesg for?
[18:54:26] gardengnome: dunno off-hand. maybe "tuner"?

[19:13:06] CCFL_Man: GreyFoxx: i think your right, the professional file servers cost shitloads and could be just as reliable as one you build yourself
[19:13:35] GreyFoxx: A build it your own is more flexible (in drive space, ram, network etc) and is easier to do stuff do as needed
[19:13:51] GreyFoxx: honestly you don';t need much cpu for file serving. So if you have plenty it cando other tasks as well
[19:14:37] gardengnome: cheatersrealm: so, the sticker on the tuner says the same as dmesg?
[19:15:13] cheatersrealm: gardengnome: yes

[19:21:57] CCFL_Man: GreyFoxx: ahh
[19:21:59] Artos: lots of cases can handle one cdrom bay and 7 hard-drives. you can just use extra 5.25" slots with hard-drive rail mounts in them.
[19:22:02] cheatersrealm: CCFL_Man: one for storage and one for tv tuner stuff
[19:22:34] CCFL_Man: cheatersrealm: i'm going to have a whole server system in my house starting with a file server
[19:22:38] GreyFoxx: We'e got drive cages that fit 5 sata drives in the space of three 5 1/4" bays
[19:22:56] CCFL_Man: sounds like a good idear
[19:23:00] cheatersrealm: CCFL_Man: you might consider running a large zfs + raid-z fileserver, and then just reading and writing to that
[19:23:08] Artos: This is the case I'm using for my fileserver: http://www.pcstats.com/articleview.cfm?articleID=976
[19:23:19] cheatersrealm: CCFL_Man: if you can afford it, try to get a sun box with loads of storage
[19:23:26] CCFL_Man: hmm..
[19:23:49] cheatersrealm: CCFL_Man: zfs and raid-z is great for fileservers, sadly my raid card didn't like solaris/linux, so I'm stuck with windows on that machine
[19:24:29] CCFL_Man: i do want atleast 1TB in one volume

[19:25:03] CCFL_Man: i may have to raid 2 500gb drives together somehow, but i want to use sata 2
[19:25:19] cheatersrealm: CCFL_Man: you might consider getting some redundancy
[19:25:30] GreyFoxx: CCFL_Man: raid5 on several drives and you are good to go
[19:25:49] GreyFoxx: 320G sata drives are $114CDN now,so it's not that expensive
[19:26:09] CCFL_Man: hmm.. true
[19:26:17] cheatersrealm: gotta love western digital 320gb drives :) (I have 4 running in raid 5)
[19:27:05] CCFL_Man: cheatersrealm: more redundancy means more money, and the data isn't that mission critical to lose, it's just a library of all shows i want to have
[19:27:26] CCFL_Man: you can raid 5 sata drives?
[19:27:44] GreyFoxx: Certainly
[19:28:58] CCFL_Man: then i'll be good to go
[19:29:03] cheatersrealm: CCFL_Man: raid 5's cost is 1 drive
[19:29:14] cheatersrealm: CCFL_Man: if I recall, so is raid-z
[19:29:40] jams: ug where is the simple example when you need it
[19:29:50] CCFL_Man: but if i want to add another drive to the raid array, i'll need to reformat and repartition everything, bit i want atleast 1TB per volume
[19:30:05] CCFL_Man: interesting
[19:30:28] GreyFoxx: CCFL_Man: There is experimental support for adding to a raid setup on the fly, but nowhere near production

[19:32:37] Artos: which motherboard are you going to use that has pci-x?
[19:33:07] CCFL_Man: oh schnit, it is pci-x
[19:33:10] sephen: Does anyone have some magic settings for making transcoded files look better and be smaller? I'm currently recording from a PVR250, at 720x480. 1hr=2g. If I re-encode, the file ends up being 500M, but really crappy quality. I've used other utils in Windows before that would take a 2G MPEG2 file and convert it to 200M MPEG4 and it looks awesome. Why does the transcode on my Myth suck so much? :)
[19:34:39] sephen: PCIe you mean? PCI-X is server technology – 133Mhz, 64bit PCI slots. PCIe (PCI Express) is the serialized slot showing up on desktops.
[19:34:48] Artos: that card is PCI-X. the server teech.
[19:34:55] Artos: there are some PCIe sataII raid cards though.
[19:34:55] Artos: http://www.cooldrives.com/sapciexracor.html
[19:36:02] sephen: Guess I should have clicked on the link.. :) I'd never trust my data to a highpoint card though. If you're looking for a reliable SATA RAID card, use an LSI Logic MegaRAID or a 3Ware card.
[19:36:10] Artos: yeah
[19:36:26] CCFL_Man: then thats what i'll look for
[19:36:36] Artos: are they usually x4?
[19:38:01] CCFL_Man: damn, they are expensive
[19:38:22] CCFL_Man: sata is probably a better technology anyway
[19:38:31] CCFL_Man: than crappy ide
[19:38:52] cheatersrealm: if you're gonna have more than a few drives, ide cables will start to fill up a case
[19:38:52] Artos: pretty much every intel chipset has a x4 PCIe slot, but I've seen a ton of mobos that don't actually pull it out to a connector. they only pull out a x16 for graphics. so just have to be careful. :)

[20:36:44] snecklifter: gardengnome, using cifs at the moment
[20:36:50] snecklifter: u think nfs betteR?
[20:37:33] gardengnome: uh, now. my point was: use some networked file system to mount your video/music directories in your frontend
[20:38:02] snecklifter: ah so i am doing that of course
[20:38:12] snecklifter: mythvideo rebuilds the database on remote frontend
[20:38:18] fysa: which resolution should I be recording in to use mytharchive without re-encoding?
[20:38:26] snecklifter: before it can access files
[20:38:49] Anduin: snecklifter: You need to have the same path on all machines
[20:38:55] snecklifter: talked to Justin at LUGRadio about it and he mentioned path has to be tha same
[20:38:56] fysa: cifs is working for me
[20:39:08] snecklifter: ah, so i need a mythtv user on remote fe?
[20:39:17] snecklifter: user called mythtv that is
[20:40:04] fysa: ttl=100 in my cifs options helped quite a bit for letting mythvideo access samba shares better.
[20:40:38] ender224455: what is a good number of Decibals for a CPU fan to have if it is going to be used in a frontend? My computer is currently loud as a jet engine...
[20:41:02] fysa: which CPU, ender?
[20:41:15] ender224455: AMD Athlon XP 2000+
[20:41:24] fysa: nforce chipset?
[20:41:35] ender224455: no, I don't think so (is that the mobo?)
[20:42:50] fysa: with Athlon XP and certain motherboards, there are a few hacks to enable a sort of Cool 'n Quiet that adjusts CPU frequency/voltage as necessary.
[20:43:40] fysa: http://cpufreqd.sourceforge.net/
[20:44:01] ender224455: ah.. I'm pretty sure my fan is part of the problem though. The original fan that came with the CPU wasn't cool enough (or I mounted it wrong) so I replaced it with a massive one (this was years ago)
[20:44:32] fysa: with something like this enabled, your CPU will run at half-clock 80% of the time — allowing you to use a quieter/slower fan
[20:44:48] ender224455: oh ok, thanks!

[21:16:21] House: checking the hostname file, i somehow hit a space during installation

[21:20:01] sphery: no prob
[21:20:06] Anduin: (well that, and I don't fstat every day(
[21:20:07] sphery: Just having a weird issue...
[21:20:18] sphery: Given this program: http://pastebin.ca/150397
[21:20:28] sphery: I get this result: http://pastebin.ca/150398
[21:21:09] sphery: And, buf.st_blksize * buf.st_blocks gives me a different value from if I multiply buf.st_blksize and buf.st_blocks after the fact...
[21:21:16] sphery: How could that be?
[21:21:28] sphery: It's not an overflow (just a 1.2GiB file)
[21:22:20] sphery: I know that we shouldn't be using buf.st_blksize * buf.st_blocks (because the units of st_blocks is undefined)
[21:22:28] sphery: But I'm having a hard time figuring out how best to fix it.
[21:22:59] sphery: I'm currently estimating the file size (in an integral number of blocks) with size_t fsize = ((buf.st_size / buf.st_blksize) + 1) * buf.st_blksize;
[21:23:11] sphery: but it's likely to be (much) smaller than the real value.
[21:24:15] Anduin: sphery: So you want st_size to always = st_bloxks * st_blksize?
[21:24:52] sphery: According to http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/000095399 . . . /stat.h.html
[21:24:58] sphery: the units of st_blocks is undefined.
[21:25:19] sphery: On my system the value returned by st_blocks * st_blksize is "close enough"
[21:26:12] sphery: On some systems, it's off by a lot--i.e. st_blocks uses the 512-byte standard, but st_blksize is 4096, meaning we start ftruncating the file as if it were 8 times its size
[21:26:32] sphery: (so, either nothing happens for a long while or the file size actually increases--depending on implementation).
[21:26:57] sphery: I just don't see why the program returns 1439727616 for buf.st_blksize * buf.st_blocks
[21:27:12] sphery: but multiplying them after the program gives 10029662208
[21:27:36] sphery: (a factor of 6.966360925871 greater than returned by the program)
[21:29:18] liran_ (liran_!i=liran@212.199.177.207.static.012.net.il) has left #mythtv-users ()
[21:29:48] Anduin: sphery: I don't see how this isn't just a blocks vs. bytes issue...
[21:32:56] sphery: The current issue is why buf.st_blksize * buf.st_blocks gives 1439727616 when buf.st_blksize = 4096 and buf.st_blocks = 2448648
[21:33:00] sphery: 4096 * 2448648 = 10029662208
[21:35:11] sphery: So, basically, on my system, st_blocks is the number of 512-byte blocks. st_blksize (the preferred I/O blocksize) is 4096.
[21:35:46] sphery: So, multiplying st_blocks by st_blksize should give a meaningless number that's about 8x greater than the real number of blocks used
[21:35:57] sphery: but it's pretty close to the real number of blocks used.
[21:37:07] Anduin: sphery: ah, I see
[21:37:19] Anduin: (I haven't looked at the delete code)
[21:38:35] sphery: Yeah, I have a "fix", but it only estimates the actual size on disk (by using one block more than the minimum)--meaning that the first truncate could be very large.
[21:39:05] sphery: Delete code is in programs/mythbackend/mainserver.cpp around line 1640
[21:39:18] Anduin: Yeah, I'm there.
[21:39:52] sphery: I (think I) understand all the issues except why the current code works well enough on my system.
[21:40:15] sphery: Especially since the individual values returned on my system indicate it should be off by a factor of 8.
[21:41:01] sphery: Only when the program executes buf.st_blksize * buf.st_blocks, the value is "auto" corrected... :)
[21:41:24] sphery: And I don't see how that's happening.
[21:41:44] sphery: Sorry about this turning into much more than a quick question. I figured I was missing something completely obvious.
[21:42:38] Anduin: sphery: It shouldn't be auto corrected, it should be overflowing
[21:43:17] sphery: there should be an overflow?
[21:44:41] sphery: d'oh
[21:44:50] Anduin: Exactly
[21:44:58] sphery: I checked the actual number of blocks to see if there'd be an overflow.
[21:45:09] sphery: I didn't check the number I was getting...
[21:45:13] Anduin: Yeah the result is >10b
[21:45:17] scott__: anyone here seen Lost? is it worth watching?

[21:46:17] sphery: (Checking the wrong value...)
[21:46:41] Anduin: sphery: better than me, I always forget what st_blocksize actually means
[21:47:17] sphery: I can't believe it. I thought I had checked everything. But I checked the wrong thing, instead.
[21:47:22] sphery: Thanks for the sanity check.
[21:47:33] sphery: I'll get a patch in place.
[21:47:46] sphery: Funny, though, that the overflow results in a nearly correct number.

[22:42:01] sigger_: (mythmusic that is, of course)
[22:42:04] GreyFoxx: Hahaha Sweet. I've got my mythbox at work sending a stream to my home box whcih is recording it with the new iptv recording atthe same time as recording a local multicast stream
[22:43:40] fysa: What kbps is the stream from work?
[22:43:46] fysa: It's transcoding in real-time?
[22:43:51] GreyFoxx: Nope, no transcoding
[22:44:01] GreyFoxx: I have it just repacking the ,mpeg2ps as a ts and sending it
[22:44:12] GreyFoxx: I get 10mbit to my office regularly
[22:44:14] fysa: ah
[22:44:22] GreyFoxx: this is currently running at 2mbit
[22:44:31] fysa: 2mbit is pretty reasonable.
[22:44:51] GreyFoxx: Though I could lower the bitrate if required
[22:45:00] GreyFoxx: and I'd do transcoding if it wasn't an mpeg2 source
[22:45:32] fysa: 'new iptv' — does that mean like, today-svn?
[22:45:52] GreyFoxx: new in the last couple months.
[22:46:11] GreyFoxx: and I just started using anew patch from the mailing list which allows per channel URLS
[22:46:54] GreyFoxx: show I have 997 watching for multicast 224.0.0.199:1234, 998 for directed unicast to port 4443, and 999 as directed unicast to port 4444
[22:47:00] GreyFoxx: all 3 are recording right now.
[22:47:13] GreyFoxx: multicasting a dvd, and recording 2 unicast streams
[22:47:21] fysa: http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/IPTV – will this get me what I need?
[22:47:46] GreyFoxx: I didn't think there was anything about it on the wiki
[22:48:07] GreyFoxx: I figured I'd end up writing something
[22:48:17] fysa: please let me know when you do.. ;)
[22:48:35] fysa: I'd love to setup a backend in Hong Kong at my wife's parents house and add that as a source here. ;)
[22:48:55] GreyFoxx: Now, if I could makethe backend support this then I could just treat my office tuner as another slave backend
[22:49:06] GreyFoxx: by that I mean support outputting it
[22:49:16] GreyFoxx: using vlc to generatethe stream right now
[22:49:20] fysa: ah
[22:49:50] fysa: if that were the case, you'd just use one stream URL to capture and the frontend would send channel-change commands to the back-end. right?
[22:50:16] fysa: or one stream URL per capture-card, anyway?
[22:50:47] GreyFoxx: The in svn code is one URL per defined capture card

[22:50:56] GreyFoxx: but I'm using a patch that gives per channel urls
[22:51:20] gardengnome: GreyFoxx: silly question... why don't you use the normal mythtv streaming stuff between your work and home backends?
[22:51:33] GreyFoxx: gardengnome: Cause I'm playing with the IPTV stuff
[22:51:38] GreyFoxx: :)
[22:51:47] fysa: that would make it cifs/nfs based
[22:51:50] fysa: right?
[22:51:54] GreyFoxx: already found a few bugs, but overall it's pretty cool
[22:52:03] GreyFoxx: fysa: Huh ?
[22:52:33] fysa: you could use multiple backends in different locations if you used cifs/nfs/samba to give them access to the same recording directory?
[22:52:38] fysa: (and not use iptv)
[22:52:44] gardengnome: GreyFoxx: ah, right. :)
[22:52:59] GreyFoxx: fysa: Too often that stuffis filtered by ISPs
[22:53:10] fysa: yeah, exactly. which is why iptv is exciting to me.
[22:53:22] fysa: samba/cifs over the internet is slightly painful.
[22:53:29] GreyFoxx: and I'd rather use IPTV since it's intended to handle dissapearing udp packets on the way
[22:58:29] fysa: how did you figure it out? just by looking through the code? .. or writing the code? ;)
[22:58:39] GreyFoxx: reading the code
[22:58:55] GreyFoxx: reading the code and trial and error
[22:59:33] GreyFoxx: Heck I could use vlc to stream anything to it now. A online webcast, dvd, some file,whatever
[23:00:50] GreyFoxx: Actually I lied, it's moving at 3.6mbits
[23:02:13] fysa: will it support VP62/NSV? ;)
[23:02:40] GreyFoxx: right now it will only allow mpeg1/2 and h264

[23:18:34] gardengnome: House: see keys.txt, there's also a bunch of other keys listed
[23:18:46] House: but the guide one isnt listed...
[23:18:52] House: it says hit m
[23:18:56] House: and m brings up the menu
[23:19:51] GreyFoxx: if you are watching livetv the first option is the program guide
[23:20:01] GreyFoxx: if you are watching a recording I don't think it's listed
[23:20:23] greg: when i try to uninstall mythtv ot mysql i get an error about mythtv database

[23:20:52] House: theres a key that does it... i had it before i lost my lircrc file
[23:20:54] GreyFoxx: greg: by being more specific about the error
[23:21:03] scottder: greg whatst the error message
[23:21:19] greg: dpkg: error processing mythtv-database (--configure):
[23:21:33] GreyFoxx: sounds like another package maybe ?
[23:21:53] GreyFoxx: maybe your distro usses a seperate package for setting up the initial database ?
[23:22:08] gardengnome: GreyFoxx: it does. i suppose there was a problem when installing mythtv-database.
[23:22:17] greg: yup
[23:22:26] greg: thats why i wanna uninstall

[23:22:36] gardengnome: greg: wanna fix it?
[23:22:47] greg: i have tried
[23:22:57] GreyFoxx: I think he's offering to help you
[23:23:01] gardengnome: heh
[23:23:08] gardengnome: right :)
[23:23:10] greg: ok
[23:23:21] fysa: I've got a Thinkpad T20 that's missing a key but has 5 batteries ;)
[23:23:25] greg: srry im a freshman
[23:23:40] Beirdo: well, it's the system board that will need fixing/replacing
[23:24:12] greg: so how do i fix it?
[23:24:29] gardengnome: greg: open a terminal, type "mysqladmin -u root password YOURNEWPASS". that will set a password for your *mysql* root account. then you enter "dpkg-reconfigure mythtv-database" where you put in your new password.
[23:24:32] Zider: press the "fix" button ;)

[23:25:16] gardengnome: GreyFoxx: yeh ;)
[23:26:11] gardengnome: greg: that should get ya started... you might wanna consider upgrading to 0.19, see the channel faq... the password for the db user "mythtv" can be found in "/etc/mythtv/mysql.txt".
[23:26:18] gardengnome: anyways, i'm off to bed.
[23:26:42] sceo: Kind of an odd question. Ever hear of Myth not releasing your CD? I press the button on my drive and it won't come out. It reads it fine (I just imported it). If I reboot and eject it during POST, it's fine--so it seems like something in Myth. I'm using R5C7. Anyone else every seen anything like this?
[23:27:30] Anduin: sceo: 0.19 bug
[23:27:40] Anduin: probably
[23:27:55] Zider: or some automounter

[23:29:40] greg: cant connect to it
[23:30:10] jimg: It was the firewall with Fedora Core 5, I tested on my Unbuntu mythtv box at my parents and it works, they also have the RV016 firewall
[23:30:27] jimg: I tested on a non myhtv fedora core 5, and it fails
[23:30:36] Beirdo: OK, time to power off the T22 to put memory from the A30p into it
[23:31:00] fysa: let me know if you ever need extra batteries ;) (if my T20 batteries work in it, that is)
