[00:00:11] firefly2442: anyone have any suggestions? http://pastebin.ca/188300
[00:00:19] bofh_omega (bofh_omega!n=omega@p549E2B6C.dip0.t-ipconnect.de) has quit (Client Quit)
[00:00:33] siXy: yeah i had to get it to do some interesting stuff to get different lirc daemons to tie to different usb hardware devices, and then use a very modifeid irxevent to redirect the output to differnt places... balh blah blah
[00:00:34] kormoc: firefly2442, sure, install myth correctly
[00:00:37] monkeypet: firefly2442: run ldconfig.
[00:00:42] gentoo-user7184 (gentoo-user7184!i=xwdkgn@ems01.your-freedom.de) has quit ()
[00:00:47] siXy: havent put anything on the web about it yet, however
[00:01:24] monkeypet: siXy: why are you rewritingit?
[00:01:47] siXy: probably will do eventually, but given the complete lack of support i recieved from the mailing list its not exactly a the top of my priorityies right now
[00:02:03] firefly2442: monkeypet, hmm, that didn't seem to help
[00:02:08] siXy: becuase it wouldnt do what i wanted it to do in its current state
[00:02:08] Anduin: firefly2442: error is clear, if you used the default prefix you probably just lack your system search /usr/local/lib (so when ldconfig ran it did nothing)
[00:02:15] kormoc: well of course, given you're now a competing project.
[00:03:01] siXy: meh im not trying to start my own project, i just wanted to adapt lirc to work with my rather specific and unusual requirements...
[00:03:27] kormoc: heh, you said re-write, that's not adapting lirc :P
[00:03:36] monkeypet: What could be better than lirc... it can toast bread as well ;)
[00:03:54] siXy: well... rewiriting may have been the wrong word, but very little if any of the old code remains

[00:05:26] h0ser: when my kernel loads (mythdora) ir_kbd_i2c loads as a module and i think it is causing my remote not to work, i like lircd, however when i do rmmod ir_common or modprobe -r, it crashes the computer, is there a way to stop it from loading in the first place?
[00:05:27] siXy: monkeypet lirc is great for serial-based devices. its not that optimised for usb devices imo
[00:05:47] RandomDude16: hey
[00:05:53] kormoc: h0ser, sure, depends on your distro of course
[00:05:58] RandomDude16: I need help with my remote.
[00:06:03] RandomDude16: I got it working but not in myth,
[00:06:06] RandomDude16: *myth.
[00:06:21] h0ser: kormoc: i mentioned i am running mythdora, i tried putting ir_common and ir_kbd_i2c in /etc/hotplug/blacklist but it didnt work either
[00:06:31] RandomDude16: I got it starting up at boot and everything but not working.
[00:06:40] RandomDude16: its the new media center remote
[00:06:42] siXy: random dude, you probably havent made the config file yet.
[00:07:00] kormoc: h0ser, hotplug != module loading at bootup
[00:07:15] h0ser: well, someone suggest that on efnet : )
[00:07:20] kormoc: h0ser, I donno how to, cause I donno mythdora, and every distro is different
[00:07:20] RandomDude16: I need help making it.
[00:07:34] h0ser: kormoc: its just fedora core 4
[00:07:39] h0ser: if you happen to know that :)
[00:07:43] kormoc: I don't know fedora :P
[00:07:50] h0ser: well then – n/m – heh
[00:08:12] siXy: randomdude – http://wilsonet.com/mythtv/fcmyth.php has a pretty easy howto
[00:08:50] ShockValue: whats the key to slowdown playback? i switched from "ALSA:default" to "default", and that helped, but now everyting is playing doubletime :)
[00:08:52] RandomDude16: im using ubuntu dapper
[00:09:18] siXy: the bit you are probably missing, however, is the lircrc file, which lives in ~./mythtv
[00:10:45] siXy: the lirc parts are fairly generic. but if you google you should be able to find a lircrc for your remote.
[00:11:03] firefly2442: Do I need to specify command arguments for ldconfig? Sorry, this is the first time I've heard about it.
[00:11:29] siXy: have a look at it beofre you stil it in – often they have parts specific to particular peoples setups, for example people who use external amplifiers dont always bother with the volume control parts
[00:11:54] monkeypet: firefly2442: there is a configuration file in /etc/...
[00:11:55] Anduin: firefly2442: /etc/ld.so.conf (and some other files now) control where
[00:12:19] kormoc: http://kormoc.homelinux.org/lircrc <-- my lircrc for my mceusb2 remote
[00:12:49] siXy: oh yeah.. forgot to mention that there are several types of the mce remote – check which one you have :)
[00:18:22] hadees: anyone using mythlcdsever? I am having an issue with the LCD screen where it isn't clearing completely of the ServerScreen when mythtv starts up, although when mythtv over writes an area with its own menus its fine
[00:19:43] marmoset (marmoset!i=marmoset@malformed.org) has left #mythtv-users ()
[00:22:42] J-e-f-f-A: hadees: I had it setup on one of my frontends a few months ago, but then fried a 40x4 lcd (I had the wrong pinout... yuck), and haven't fiddled with it since. I don't remember having that issue w/it though...
[00:23:13] hadees: J-e-f-f-A, any idea what to call that issue, i am having trouble searching for it
[00:23:35] hadees: i am guessing it is an lcdproc problem
[00:24:09] J-e-f-f-A: hadees: perhaps something like "mythlcd display corruption" ...
[00:25:02] firefly2442: Anduin, /etc/ld.so.conf doesn't exist, are there other places where it's stored?
[00:25:38] Anduin: firefly2442: /etc/ld.so.conf.d
[00:26:55] firefly2442: Anduin, I've got /etc/ld.so.cache .... that's about it
[00:27:57] firefly2442: can I just create this file?
[00:30:13] Anduin: firefly2442: It not being there is unlikely (possible, but unlikely), I assume ldconfig -p is pages long?
[00:31:16] firefly2442: Anduin, yep, it seems after looking online, Ubuntu does not have this file by default
[00:32:15] Anduin: firefly2442: Yeah, I see that in the MythTV Ubuntu page

[00:42:00] tibbetts: Installing 0.18 on debian, and I'm getting ReadStringList timeout (quick) messages from the frontend, along with slow menu operation and live tv not working. The backend hasn't logged anything that seems relevant. is there popular wisdom about what causes this? Googling the mailing list doesn't seem to find anything relevant.
[00:42:09] tibbetts: s/debian/ubuntu/ sorry
[00:42:38] GreyFoxx: tibbetts: why not 0.20 ? 0.18 is kinda ancient :)
[00:43:06] tibbetts: cause it is whats in ubuntu. I figured I would start here and upgrade once I had it working.
[00:43:43] tibbetts: maybe that's a bad plan.
[00:44:14] firefly2442: tibbetts, there aren't any 0.20 packages in Dapper to upgrade to
[00:44:30] firefly2442: tibbetts, Edgy has some but not all of them are ready yet apparently
[00:45:15] siXy: arent there some unnoficial 0.20 pacakges for 6.06 flying about somewhere?

[00:48:44] seeKay: tibbetts: that's why i switched to gentoo for my mythtv machine... ubuntu was quick to put a system together, but crap like gnome and were just taking up space... also gentoo is like a week behind the mythtv developers in adding packages to their system
[00:49:03] tibbetts: gentoo causes hairy palms
[00:49:28] seeKay: gentoo does take a while, but you have to screw with ubuntu so much to get it to run mythtv that you might as well be compiling yourself
[00:49:29] tibbetts: :)
[00:49:50] seeKay: adding all these repositories from questionable sources and what not :P
[00:50:26] seeKay: so is anyone in here running 0.20 and have mytharchive installed/working?

[03:28:23] Ibeam: is there anyway that i can manually edit a DVB channel video or audio pid? (as opposed to the chanPID)

[03:29:44] Ibeam: the channel table only has a place for channel PID, rather than seperate vid/aud PIDs....

[04:17:51] siXy: and even then i dont guarntee it will work, you may need to fiddle some
[04:18:05] siXy: whats wrong with running it on the backend?
[04:18:16] ShockValue: backend is behind the firewall.
[04:18:24] ShockValue: and i'd rather not open it up
[04:18:40] siXy: you only have to open one port....
[04:19:05] ShockValue: yeah, but I already have an apache server sitting there bored on my DMZ. i'd rather use that if i can
[04:19:41] siXy: well, try if you want but i dont promise it will be easy
[04:19:59] ShockValue: just as long as you'll promise to still respect me in the morning
[04:20:11] siXy: hehehe
[04:23:17] metalac (metalac!n=dejan@dsl254-025-029.sea1.dsl.speakeasy.net) has joined #mythtv-users
[04:23:33] metalac: hey so i'm continiung with my poll to see what hardware you run for HD ;)
[04:23:56] metalac: so if you run 1080i WITHOUT XvMC can you tell me what cpu you got?
[04:24:25] siXy: WHY do you not want to use xvmc?
[04:24:46] metalac: no pretty OSD and no PIP
[04:24:55] metalac: and it's buggy
[04:26:24] siXy: not especially. but if you really dont want to how about gl2?
[04:26:40] metalac: gl2?
[04:27:03] siXy: yep.
[04:27:10] metalac: what's that?
[04:27:24] siXy: opengl based video acceleration
[04:27:42] metalac: that doesn't do anything for HD, only for drawing menus in X
[04:27:57] siXy: wrong.
[04:28:07] metalac: can i see some docs about it?
[04:28:25] siXy: probably. google is your friend. or man mplayer.
[04:28:36] metalac: OpenGL (Open Graphics Library) is an API for writing applications that produce both 2D and 3D graphics. MythUI will use OpenGL to render menus starting with version 0.20.
[04:28:47] metalac: says nothing about mpeg2 streams
[04:29:06] siXy: becuase its had opengl video accel for ages.
[04:29:43] metalac: but opengl doesn't deal AT ALL with mpeg2 streams, it renders graphics
[04:30:25] siXy: y'know if you dont want help thats fine....
[04:30:34] metalac: ahahaaha is somebody geting mad
[04:30:45] Ibeam: metalac: openGL does deal with the rendering
[04:30:45] metalac: you really didn't provide help just put some terms in here
[04:30:54] metalac: Ibeam: of mpeg2 streams??
[04:31:46] Ibeam: mythtv has been capable of handling the video rendering using GL for a long time
[04:31:56] metalac: where do you enable it?
[04:32:15] siXy: metalac rtfm
[04:32:34] metalac: siXy: that's because there is nothing about it in the manual since that DOES NOT exist
[04:32:41] metalac: OPENGL is used for MENUS not MPEG
[04:32:55] Ibeam: I suggest you do some reading about what GL is , if you have it setup or not, etc etc
[04:33:13] siXy: metalac support generally works better if newbies dont try to pretend they know what they are talking about
[04:33:23] siXy: gl getting hd to work.
[04:33:24] metalac: siXy: i'm no newbie here ok
[04:33:45] siXy: "OPENGL is used for MENUS not MPEG – yes you are"
[04:33:48] metalac: Ibeam: i have gl setup and I'm using it drow menus
[04:34:14] Ibeam: that's good
[04:35:06] metalac: they only thing opengl might do is do vsync
[04:35:17] Ibeam: :)
[04:35:46] siXy: for the last time – man mplayer
[04:35:53] ** siXy calls it quits with this one **
[04:36:38] metalac: thank you ;)
[04:36:39] Aid` (Aid`!n=Aid@69.54.213.95) has quit (Read error: 110 (Connection timed out))
[04:37:37] metalac: -fixed-vo (BETA CODE!)
[04:37:37] metalac: Enforces a fixed video system for multiple files (one (un)initialisation for all files). Therefore only one window will be opened for all files. Currently the following drivers are fixed-vo compliant: x11, xv, xvidix, xmga, gl2, and svga.
[04:37:45] metalac: only thing where gl2 is mentioned in man mplayer
[04:41:50] metalac: gl2 is open GL output, should work on mplayer using vo=gl2 in .mplayer/config or just doing mplayer -vo gl2 filename if you just want to test it. I know I can play 720P ok with GL2 but it does use more CPU usage (still looks good atleast though) I believe I was able to do gl2 output on my athlon 64 3500+ on 1920x1080 barely, so like I said, you need a fast computer probably.
[04:41:57] metalac: so obviously gl2 is no better than xV

[04:53:05] harryk: evening all
[04:53:25] harryk: can I bother the channel for a bit of assistance
[04:54:09] siXy: just ask your question :)
[04:54:11] harryk: setting up the hd5500 under myth, documentation is weak to the say the best
[04:54:56] harryk: i think the problem appears that myth is attempting to use /dev/video2 as the card, and thats fine, but when attempting to scan for channels, I get the following ouput
[04:56:11] harryk: 2006-10–01 23:47:50.406 pcHDTV::GetSignal_v4l1(fd 13, input 1, v4l2): error(Invalid argument)
[04:56:13] metalac: harryk: do you use zap2it at al?
[04:56:20] harryk: repeated through the end of the scan
[04:56:21] harryk: yes
[04:56:32] harryk: my pvr500 uses it for the local cable
[04:56:40] harryk: i setup a 2nd listing for ota
[04:57:37] metalac: try instead of scanning to use the source
[04:58:05] metalac: there are two buttons in setup one is to scan for channels and one is to use the source to get channel data
[04:58:08] harryk: ... correct me if I'm wrong, but I think I did that.
[04:58:16] harryk: prior to trying to scan for channels
[04:58:40] metalac: hmmmm
[04:58:51] harryk: how can I confirm
[04:58:55] harryk: rather
[04:58:59] metalac: try doing it again :)
[04:59:06] harryk: I think that I did ;) ...
[04:59:07] harryk: one sec
[04:59:29] siXy: harryk have you tried tuning a specific channel rather than scanning?
[04:59:52] harryk: not through myth
[05:00:01] harryk: when I run through the dtsignal program
[05:00:11] harryk: I am able to see the frequency for the channels
[05:01:05] harryk: ok, so I go through mythtv-setup, into input connections
[05:01:21] harryk: then under my hd card, I select fetch channels from listing source
[05:01:24] harryk: nothing happens
[05:01:28] metalac: ok that's good
[05:01:30] metalac: nothing should happen
[05:01:35] harryk: ok
[05:01:42] metalac: maybe a slight pause depending on your internet connection
[05:01:42] harryk: thats actually reassuring
[05:01:44] metalac: and then that's it
[05:01:46] harryk: ok
[05:01:57] metalac: now go to channel editor and see if there is any channels there
[05:03:08] harryk: ok, I go into the channel editor, select 'broadcast' (for the ota listing) and nothing is displayed
[05:03:27] harryk: so does that mean I'm not retrieving anything for that listing
[05:03:35] harryk: err.. source
[05:03:45] metalac: it seems like it
[05:04:18] harryk: ... should I have to run mythfill prior to being able to see that list?
[05:04:42] siXy: harryk- ive had mixed results with the myth scanner depending on tuner card. if you manually add a channel does that get you anywhere?
[05:04:46] metalac: no it should be there right away
[05:05:02] metalac: it seems that for HD* cards you need to scan
[05:05:03] harryk: siXy, I haven't tried to manually add one
[05:05:06] metalac: http://mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/Configuring_ . . . ideo_Sources
[05:05:48] metalac: seems that the trick is to use a different frequency table
[05:06:09] harryk: and I confirmed that I'm already using the bcast table
[05:07:16] metalac: well it says you should use "Cable", "Cable HRC" or "Cable IRC" frequency table
[05:07:29] harryk: thats only assuming that you're using a cable feed
[05:07:41] harryk: previous sentence
[05:07:56] harryk: For OTA use the 8-VSB modulation and the broadcast frequency table,
[05:07:58] metalac: oh :)
[05:07:59] metalac: sorry
[05:08:02] harryk: no worries
[05:08:03] metalac: forgot your ota
[05:08:13] harryk: i'm not exactly a newb, i did read before comming here ;)
[05:08:21] metalac: are you on 0.20?

[05:09:08] harryk: i did the upgrade earlier this evening, and have since restarted the system
[05:09:19] metalac: it never hurts to try :)
[05:09:31] harryk: no I mean, I did restart earlier
[05:09:38] metalac: oh
[05:09:39] harryk: after the upgrade
[05:10:09] metalac: not sure what the problem might be

[05:11:46] harryk: siXy, when I do the dtvscan well...
[05:11:47] harryk: crap

[05:32:55] harryk: and this puts my thoughts back to myth incorrectly trying to use /dev/video2

[05:39:45] siXy: yeah in the lirc code theres a very crude anti-flooding mechanism that filters out lots of the inputs. you can decrease its agressiveness if you want to, by downloading the source, editing and recompiling
[05:39:59] harryk: siXy, ok, still nothing in myth
[05:40:16] skizo1: siXy: hrmm
[05:40:20] harryk: wait
[05:40:21] harryk: wiat
[05:40:29] harryk: there ... it got it
[05:40:31] harryk: one sec
[05:40:45] siXy: harryk – i havent done it for a little while and i havent got a mythbox with me now so i cant really be of much use. its one of those options – and your card should show up as dvb:0 or somthing like that
[05:41:15] harryk: i think it just locked onto some
[05:41:28] harryk: I did have to change it to the dvb0 device
[05:41:32] harryk: that seems to have done the trick
[05:41:42] harryk: documentation is really poor on this subject, atleast in my opinion
[05:42:29] siXy: thats becuase noone gets paid to do it.
[05:42:35] harryk: heh
[05:42:40] harryk: too true
[05:43:13] harryk: i;m just saying that clarification on how hd cards should be setup would be nice
[05:43:27] harryk: i'm willing to take up the cause and submit some doc updates
[05:44:23] siXy: go for it. it would defiantely be appreciated
[05:46:21] ShockValue: this sounds like a bad sign: Wrote partition table, but re-read table failed. Reboot to update table.
[05:47:24] harryk: thats sounds like a crap shoot
[05:48:25] skizo1: siXy: do you have any idea where that input filtering code is at in the source? I've got 0.8.1 downloaded

[05:53:35] skizo1: i see
[05:54:29] harryk: siXy, heh... after all that and the pc isn't capable of displaying the content
[05:54:37] siXy: ?
[05:54:39] harryk: or atleast appears that way
[05:54:53] harryk: i just get a blue screen, instead of video
[05:54:54] siXy: what spec?
[05:55:00] harryk: p4 2.8ghz
[05:55:05] harryk: 256mb
[05:55:16] siXy: gfx card?
[05:55:16] harryk: but i'm (currently) attempting to use integrated intel video
[05:55:46] siXy: right. geet a geforce 6200 or above and at least double the ram and you will be fine
[05:55:56] siXy: the cpu is plenty fast enough
[05:56:10] harryk: ram won't be a problem, i've got the sticks sitting next to me... the video card... well thats the problem
[05:56:23] harryk: the board I am using (alot of freeby stuff) only has pci slots
[05:56:30] harryk: and with that only 3
[05:56:36] harryk: 1 for pvr-500
[05:56:41] harryk: 1 for pchdtv5500
[05:56:49] harryk: 1 for gigabit card – I could remove this
[05:56:55] harryk: but no AGP slots
[05:56:58] harryk: or PCIe
[05:57:07] Dagmar: siXy: Not quite. The newer nVidia's don't have the stuff that lets XvMC accellerate things
[05:57:16] Dagmar: NV41, some of the NV42 and NV43

[06:00:27] harryk: as a question
[06:00:32] harryk: just because I can't watch it
[06:00:40] harryk: doesn't necessarily mean I can't record it, correct?
[06:00:46] harryk: and watch it on another box?
[06:00:59] Dagmar: That's fairly true
[06:01:18] Dagmar: Recording it is not that big of a deal, particualrly since you'll get the stuff over firewire
[06:01:54] harryk: Dagmar, actually, i'm using an internal pchdtv 5500
[06:02:20] siXy: recording hd required very little power. playing it will work on fx cards, but they sometimes have funny overscan issues
[06:02:34] Dagmar: Well, if it's doing hardware-based encoding you should be fine

[06:19:00] gentoo-user7184: is there a way that u can save them as .nuv? and then use nuvexport or?
[06:20:12] gentoo-user7184: or can i just use trancode or ffmpeg and do it manually?
[06:21:05] Dagmar: It would be dumb to convert files to nuv
[06:21:20] Dagmar: ...and it helps when you read documentation.
[06:21:24] gentoo-user7184: yea but i am trying to conver them to .avi xvid
[06:21:40] Dagmar: nuvexport will convert *from* the mpg format you get from PVR cards to DivX and whatnot just fine
[06:22:05] gentoo-user7184: i have tried konvert, however the file sizes are still large and when u play it back the image is centered in the middle of screen
[06:22:21] simcop2387: anyone got a use for a hair brush turned stun gun?

[06:27:44] Dagmar: http://forevermore.net/files/nuvexport/archiv . . . .svn.tar.bz2 I *think* will work
[06:27:46] gentoo-user7184: and now i get an error with .3 saying ffmpeg can't support aac
[06:27:55] gentoo-user7184: must be an error withing the ebuild for .3
[06:28:01] gentoo-user7184: with in**
[06:28:09] Dagmar: Ummm you aren't likely to need aac
[06:28:28] Dagmar: Typically DivX is still going to be using mp3 for the audio
[06:28:34] gentoo-user7184: yea i just took it out of the useflags for ffmpeg
[06:29:02] gentoo-user7184: also i could never get divx to encode with nuvexport in the past
[06:29:23] gentoo-user7184: am missing an plugin for ffmped/transcode/mencoder?
[06:29:27] gentoo-user7184: am i**
[06:29:36] Dagmar: This is because nuvexport is very sensitive to the exact versions of ffmpeg/mencoder/transcode because they keep changing their interfaces.
[06:29:54] gentoo-user7184: oo alright
[06:30:20] gentoo-user7184: u see i was running mythtv .20 but i got fed up with it
[06:30:24] gentoo-user7184: and went back to .19
[06:31:24] gentoo-user7184: .20 backend would use my cpu 100% all the time... whether i was/wasn't watching tv/transcoding/or commerial flagging

[09:11:46] Dagmar: The worst that can happen is that everything will break.
[09:11:52] Dagmar: ...which will give you something to fix.
[09:12:08] Dagmar: ...and make Myth that much more fun to use when it's working again.
[09:12:11] otwin: believe me, it can't break more than what i have now
[09:12:16] Dagmar: HAHAH
[09:12:20] otwin: no /bin, no /etc
[09:12:28] Dagmar: You still have /. man
[09:13:00] otwin: if you can't even do ls -l
[09:13:02] Dagmar: Things can always break more unless you're staring at a pile of rust and paint flakes, and then there could be a sudden and unexplainable wind.
[09:13:07] Dagmar: You don't need ls.
[09:13:14] Dagmar: echo * works

[09:13:45] Dibblah: echo is internal.

[09:14:04] Dagmar: When you break too many things, knowing what you actually have becomes pretty important.  :)
[09:14:12] otwin: :-)
[09:14:14] Dibblah: Echo isn't a builtin. echo is. ;)
[09:15:21] otwin: well i'll boot with a rescue cd, chroot and see if I can fix this – but I guess a reinstall will be faster
[09:15:38] Dagmar: That's probably the case.
[09:15:50] Dagmar: Make a list of what you installed this time in case you have to do it again--it'll make things go faster.
[09:15:54] otwin: but mythbackend kept on running for a couple of hours :-)
[09:16:01] Dibblah: A chroot ain't going to work any better than you have now...
[09:16:27] Dibblah: Ick. It's too early. I used ain't wrong. :(
[09:16:32] Dagmar: Yeah, but he can at least exit it, install more stuff, and try again without rebooting.
[09:16:39] Dibblah: Indeed.
[09:16:43] otwin: thats what I meant

[09:17:45] Dibblah: Not that I have, actually, but it sounds like a losing proposition.

[09:50:48] Dagmar: It's mainly Qt buggery tho
[09:51:20] quicksilver: my machine runs myth fine whilst compiling anything/everything
[09:51:32] quicksilver: depends how fast it is
[09:51:41] rufnut: whats yr machine ?
[09:52:54] rufnut: at the moment i have no xxmc support so all is done cpu wise
[09:55:13] quicksilver: I have an athlon64 3000+ (single core)
[09:55:18] quicksilver: everything is CPU, no hardware assist
[09:55:32] quicksilver: it can quite happily record 1 channel, play another, and compile at the same time
[09:55:36] rufnut: i am on a p4 1.6
[09:55:58] rufnut: maybe you have niceness setup right
[09:56:13] rufnut: i demand all when i compile
[09:56:30] ** quicksilver shrugs **
[09:56:36] quicksilver: I have niceness on the default settings
[09:56:48] quicksilver: the kernel threads which service the cards get niced, the kernel does that automatically
[09:57:28] rufnut: yeah but if i have it setup to compile it will killeverything else
[09:57:37] rufnut: and so it should
[09:57:54] rufnut: takes long enough
[09:58:02] ** [mbm] loves hardware assist – xvmc and spdif passthrough **
[09:58:10] rufnut: yes me too
[09:58:59] rufnut: dts on that spdif too

[09:59:56] Freman: I simply don't have "recordedseek" table
[10:00:11] rufnut: quicksilver do you use dvb ?

[10:01:31] rufnut: o n high definition
[10:01:42] quicksilver: no, not HD
[10:01:56] rufnut: ahhhh that would load yr cpu up
[10:02:00] quicksilver: indeed
[10:02:12] rufnut: you dont use xvmc or xxmc
[10:02:16] quicksilver: I'm just watching UK broadcast TV
[10:02:25] rufnut: what vid card do you have ?
[10:02:25] Dibblah: [mbm]: Did you get anywhere with your streams that were breaking Myth?
[10:02:54] quicksilver: rufnut: ATI radeon 9200 or something in that series
[10:02:59] quicksilver: it might be an 9250 I forget
[10:03:13] Dibblah: Recordedseek is new with 0.20 – All of the seektables used to be in recordedmarkup.
[10:03:23] rufnut: hmm you should get some dri action happening
[10:03:24] [mbm]: Dibblah: haven't had time, and I'm getting pissed off at comcast because each time I look the streams are different .. last week they screwed up and encrypted some channels which were supposed to be unencrypted and unencrypted some encrypted channels like the movie channel
[10:03:43] quicksilver: rufnut: I am using the TV-out drivers which aren't in the main driver tree
[10:03:49] quicksilver: rufnut: anyhow, I don't need hardware assist :P
[10:04:00] quicksilver: it's less than 20% CPU load to play fullscreen mpeg2 or mpeg4
[10:04:12] rufnut: tv-out
[10:04:21] quicksilver: it runs OK even with the CPU scaled down to 1Ghz
[10:04:23] Dibblah: Freman: That last comment was for you :)
[10:04:35] rufnut: thats analog i guess
[10:04:38] ** [mbm] ended up watching "the greated game ever played" on some movie channel instead of debugging it **
[10:05:02] Dibblah: [mbm]: That's what happens when a company believes that nothing apart from their hardware will be connected to their network.
[10:05:09] quicksilver: rufnut: the tv-out is s-video, so, yes, it's analog
[10:05:18] quicksilver: rufnut: I only have a cheap, old, 23" analog TV
[10:05:29] rufnut: the input is analog too ?
[10:05:36] rufnut: same here
[10:05:40] quicksilver: typically the input is digital
[10:05:42] rufnut: 68 cm
[10:05:45] quicksilver: but I watch analog channels too
[10:05:55] Dibblah: I only have 83" :(
[10:06:03] rufnut: lol
[10:06:05] quicksilver: when it's been recorded to mpeg2/4, it doesn't really matter whether the original was analog or digital
[10:06:13] [mbm]: Dibblah: yeah I know.. when they installed the cable initially they ran the tv through the automatic channel scan and the installer was suprised to see that my tv had picked up any of their digital channels — then he tried to sell me a cablecard
[10:06:18] Dibblah: quicksilver: Yes, it does.
[10:06:24] quicksilver: Dibblah: ?
[10:06:48] Dibblah: You'll get far more artifacts on a mpeg2 recording being re-recorded to mpeg2.
[10:07:03] rufnut: when i record hi def mpeg2 and its huge
[10:07:09] quicksilver: Dibblah: true but that's not what we were talking about
[10:07:11] rufnut: god i love it
[10:07:16] quicksilver: Dibblah: we were talking about CPU usage, I think :)
[10:07:23] Dibblah: If either of them is mpeg4, however, it's a different set of artifacts, which oddly is a little better.
[10:07:30] quicksilver: Dibblah: I actually don't transcode the digital, that gets spooled in native format
[10:07:43] quicksilver: so the DVB-T stays in native mpeg2, while the analog is compressed mpeg4
[10:07:49] [mbm]: disks are cheap, I just dump raw streams without transcoding ;)
[10:08:01] rufnut: why not
[10:08:02] Dibblah: [mbm]: The cablecard you can't actually plug into anything, you mean?
[10:08:25] rufnut: i would too
[10:08:31] Freman: I only transocde the stuff I intend to keep for a while
[10:08:37] [mbm]: Dibblah: well, my tv is 'digital cable ready' with the ability to tune unscrambled channels and will accept a cablecard .. but yeah, I thought it was pointless
[10:09:34] Freman: disks are cheap, but 23" lcd wide screen monitors arn't – that's what I'm saving for (rather then spending all my mony on disks)
[10:10:18] [mbm]: hmm good point, I wish I actually could run native res on my tv
[10:10:56] Dibblah: I wish the XV scaling wasn't so... Cheap.
[10:11:17] [mbm]: I'm using xvmc and it looks pretty damned good
[10:11:30] Dibblah: xvmc is slightly different.
[10:11:32] Dibblah: I think.
[10:11:45] [mbm]: well, the mc is motion compensation
[10:11:54] Dibblah: I know.
[10:11:55] Freman: oh no, you got me wrong, the two 23" wide screen monitors are for my PC... the $4k projector which I buy later is for the tv (c:
[10:12:14] [mbm]: Freman: well, I use my tv as a monitor for the mythtv box
[10:12:20] Freman: yes, so do I
[10:12:21] Freman: for now
[10:12:24] [mbm]: 32" lcd
[10:12:39] Freman: 68cm crt )c:
[10:14:22] [mbm]: Dibblah: I'm finding that even hd channels have minor mpeg compression artifacts
[10:14:47] Dibblah: HD tends to be worse, artifact wise.
[10:15:16] Dibblah: Since the companies don't yet know how much bandwidth they can squeeze before the customer starts to complain.
[10:15:31] Dibblah: Except in Europe, of course.
[10:15:53] Dibblah: Since we didn't go for the cheap'n'nasty mpeg2 HD standards ;)
[10:16:04] [mbm]: well, what annoys me is I thought things would magically get better after moving away from ntsc, and they did, but I was expecting the frames to be uncompressed tiff quality which they aren't
[10:16:14] [mbm]: right
[10:17:05] [mbm]: most of the channels worth watching still aren't broadcasting in digital
[10:17:10] Dibblah: Would have thought they would have learned after the NTSC / PAL fiasco...
[10:18:07] [mbm]: ntsc looks like crap on a hd set .. you really notice how much the lower the color resolution is from the luminance
[10:18:30] Freman: mpeg2 looks fine in AU
[10:18:51] Freman: but then, there's nothing worth watching on our measly 5 channels
[10:19:13] [mbm]: few hundred channels here, still nothing worth watching
[10:19:46] [mbm]: and if there was anything worth watching, you can bet they'll repeat it over and over until you're sick of it

[10:20:12] Freman: well, think. Big brother is on one of ours... that leaves us with 4 watchable channels, one chooses to run sports for a week, 3 watchable channels, one is abc, the other is sbs, the left over one is usualy channel 7, it wouldn't know what good programming was if it got smacked over the head
[10:21:05] Freman: channel 10 (big brother) runs things late almost constantly, and very very frequently at seeminly random intervals will swap between current season and previous season episodes
[10:21:28] Freman: wouldn't be the first time I've watched a House ep and thought I chould check my hard disk for temporal errors
[10:21:29] [mbm]: I'm lucky if I get to watch two new episodes in any given week
[10:21:43] Freman: two new eps in a week? omg!
[10:21:52] Freman: we have to wait a week between episodes, and usualy 2
[10:22:03] [mbm]: well, I mean across multiple programs
[10:22:18] Freman: there's normally only one thing on at a time worth watching
[10:22:34] Freman: thank god for mythtv tho – it means I don't have to stay up till 12:30 to watch it
[10:22:47] [mbm]: I've got a record list of about 30 programs and most of the time it ends up being the same episodes over and over
[10:23:11] Freman: sounds lke our simpsons (c:
[10:23:42] [mbm]: I consider it pretty pathetic to give it 30 programs to record and find that a week later it's only recorded two episodes
[10:24:37] [mbm]: which sadly means I either tell it to record the repeats, or I surf live tv when I run out of things to watch
[10:25:52] [mbm]: at this rate it would probably be cheaper for me to go on amazon and buy seasons on dvd than it would be for me to pay for cable

[10:51:44] Dagmar: Actually, you just erred with nuvexport
[10:51:58] Dagmar: One of the things it tells the encoder is what aspect ratio to use
[10:52:16] Dagmar: Basically, the problem with nuvexport is that xris isn't god.
[10:52:35] Dagmar: ffmpeg, transcode, and even mencoder keep changing their interfaces, so basically...
[10:53:00] Dagmar: The first time you try to use a new version, run it with --debug. That'll make it do _nothing_ but instead emit the commands it was _going_ to execute.
[10:53:22] Dagmar: Then you cut and paste those one at a time (after you've checked out that they're sane and not doing something like saying 4:3 when they should say 16:9)...
[10:53:41] Dagmar: ...and then you go and diddle nuvexport so that it does the right thing.
[10:54:02] Dagmar: OR you can just pester xris to tell you exactly what versions of the stuff he's using and install those same exact versions on your machine.
[10:54:48] Dagmar: I spent the last two nights looking at it, and short of adding some very finicky checks and tests to nuvexport there just isn't any good solution.

[11:05:58] bofh_omega: this is what mythtv gives me when I try to do scheduled recording
[11:06:01] Dagmar: The aspect ratio is a separate bit of data explicitly mentioned in the video file that tells the player what aspect ratio to display in
[11:06:28] jcsmith: g'morning everyone, i just installed myth .20 yesterday and i'm having some trouble getting the program guide to work, it appears that mythfill database is running properly however there is no data in the program guide
[11:06:32] LLcoolM: Dagmar: how can i get the channel listings anyway?
[11:06:44] LLcoolM: it refuses to scan because it says it doesnt find the videocard
[11:06:59] Dagmar: LLcoolM: Then you need to ignore Myth for a moment and work on why the card isn't showing up
[11:07:13] bofh_omega: jcsmith: you have to "connect" the programms to each other. Have a look at mythtv-setup and the last point in the list.
[11:07:18] Dagmar: Use tvtime or something like that to verify your card actually works first.
[11:07:39] Freman: Dagmar, *shakes head* could just ask the user whether they want it in widescreen or not (c:
[11:07:53] Dagmar: Freman: Actually, it's supposed to detect such things.
[11:08:07] Dagmar: Fremen: You *might* want to look at the force_aspect option in /etc/nuvexportrc
[11:09:11] Dagmar: jcsmith: Bofh_omega is dead on. You definitely need to define a tuner card, then define the channel data source (i.e., tell it about your zap2it account or whatever) and then assign the data source to the tuner in mythtv-setup
[11:09:13] Freman: tah, I didn't even know that file existed (c:
[11:09:57] jcsmith: bofh_omega, Dagmar, i'm looking into it right now, i was nearly positive i did that tho

[11:11:25] Juski: well, set mythttv-setup to look for a v4l card on /dev/video0
[11:11:45] bofh_omega: Dagmar: what's the meaning of "to be dead on"? Sry my english isn't that good
[11:12:02] Dagmar: bofh_omega: The idiom means "to be exactly right"

[11:57:00] Dibblah: So what are you actually asking? It won't do DVB-s2 channels, it doesn't have a CAM slot.
[12:00:41] Dibblah: (Those are two seperate issues – Most of the HD channels are encrypted in most places, and most of the Eur providers are using DVB-S2 for those channels too)
[12:01:49] Dibblah: I am of course assuming you want sat stuff. And that you're in Europe ;)
[12:03:43] BULLE: Dibblah: sorry to barge in on the discussion, and you might have already explained this, but, if i buy a dvb receiver card, that has cam support, and buy one of the cheap ones with no video decoder on board, will i be able to receive HDTV streams aswell then ?
[12:03:58] BULLE: Dibblah: and then just use cpu and graphics card, to decode the hdtv stream
[12:03:59] Dibblah: Generally no.
[12:04:10] BULLE: Dibblah: oh, why not ?
[12:04:45] Dibblah: Most providers don't provide a CAM to plug in. Most providers are using DVB-S2, which isn't supported by Linux in any good way yet.
[12:04:45] BULLE: just write the bits to to hd, and have the software worry about decoding it ?
[12:05:00] Dagmar: That's pretty much the way Myth was designed to work, man
[12:05:19] Dagmar: The backend _just_ records, and the frontend _just_ plays.
[12:05:36] BULLE: Dagmar: yeah, this was more of a dvb question i guess
[12:05:36] jcsmith: will mythweb run with php5?
[12:05:46] Dibblah: Decoding <> Decrypting.
[12:05:55] Juski: jcsmith: yes
[12:05:56] Dibblah: Decrypting is done by the card.
[12:06:31] Dibblah: Well, actually, decrypting is done by the CAM.
[12:06:47] Dibblah: But the data stream gets passed through the CAM by the card.
[12:06:52] ** jcsmith goes to try and figure out why mythweb is not working and begins to question my decision to install .20 **
[12:09:56] Juski: jcsmith: which 0.20 ? I had a problem yesterday on -fixes rev 113xx (or similar) which has a typo preventing recording_schedules.php working
[12:10:08] Dagmar: jcsmiht: You got myth-plugins-0.20a, right?
[12:10:26] jcsmith: i downloaded the -fixes branch saturday mid-day and compiled it
[12:10:31] Dagmar: There was a small, but sufficiently fatal "oopsie" in 0.20 that called for 0.20a to be released
[12:11:45] jcsmith: ...jucki: might the type-o have been in the .htaccess file because i can't get any of mythweb to work and in my apache logs there is an error complaining about this line:
[12:12:06] jcsmith: RewriteEngine
[12:12:18] Juski: jcsmith: you need mod_rewrite loaded in apache

[12:14:47] Juski: problem I had yesterday was just with mythweb loading but none of the tv related stuff worked. not 0.20a related stuff either
[12:16:37] jcsmith: i think most of my problems are stemming from upgrading my os at the same time i upgraded myth, quiet a lot changed between breezy and dapper i'm noticing
[12:17:11] Juski: apache has changed a fair bit I think
[12:17:45] jcsmith: yes it has, in breezy, with apache mod_rewrite was loaded by default
[12:17:46] Juski: to enable modules in apache you now have to make symlinks from mods_available to mods_enabled .. messy
[12:17:53] jcsmith: yea, i just discovered that
[12:18:08] jcsmith: altho, i think its quiet nice, much better than messing with the dammed apache.conf
[12:18:10] Juski: what the hell was wrong with leaving it all in apache.conf?
[12:18:20] Juski: we'll agree to disagree then
[12:18:22] Juski: ;)
[12:18:52] jcsmith: i'm sure that opinion just stems from my ignorance of apache tho
[12:25:51] Juski: I think mod_env & mod_rewrite were already enabled on my dapper box yesterday... maybe the previous mythtv (from packages) has changed the config

[14:12:43] GreyFoxx: the most obvious diff is that one uses X11 for output and the other will use xv if available. I seem to remember also finding that the preview window would use the local(or network mounted) file system if the file was available where as normal playback would use mythbackend even though it could have used the direct playback

[16:20:14] fryfrog: if you don't like it, go back to 0.19 and load your db

[16:20:37] fryfrog: yes
[16:20:45] LoneShadow: ok
[16:20:46] fryfrog: you have to drop the 0.20 db and re-create the 0.19 one

[16:21:47] LoneShadow: 0.20 is not working out well for me :(
[16:21:48] fryfrog: so you might find almost everything works except... mythvideo
[16:21:49] fryfrog: or something
[16:21:55] fryfrog: worked fine for me :)
[16:22:01] fryfrog: in fact, better than 0.19

[16:22:45] LoneShadow: it does work with mythtv, but takes more than 20 seconds
[16:23:11] opello: why would you do it that way and not use myth video?

[16:44:23] DigerLAP: reading what you wrote jeffmeden will myth record shows and not record the commercials or do you does it just flag em for skipping during playback?

[17:00:06] seth|laptop: fryfrog, I just ran 'lirc-reconfig.sh' and knoppmyth installed it for me, but I did tweak the lirc.conf file, to enable some different keys. The only problem I have with it, is if my daughter, or cats unplug it. It requires a reboot to get it back again. It's USB.
[17:00:37] fryfrog: oh, thats odd
[17:00:47] orogor: looks like it s same version to me
[17:00:49] fryfrog: i'd have though a rmmod / modprobe would pick it up again?
[17:01:14] fryfrog: actually, i'd have thought plug/unplug wouldn't need *anything*, but failing that an rmmod / modprobe should do it
[17:01:44] seth|laptop: thats what I thought. And when it unplugs, lircd takes up a steady 43% of the cpu. killing the process removes it, and then restarting it brings it back down to like .06% but the remote no longer works, until I rebbot, kind of a pain. :-(
[17:01:53] fryfrog: could you use the internal USB header on your motherboard to hook up a usb port that you leave *inside* the case, that way they can't even reach it?
[17:01:59] ivor: oh what a complete wally.
[17:02:04] jeffmeden: fryfrog: yeah it would be nice if i could read the faq
[17:02:17] ivor: I guess it won't find any channels... if I've disconnected the aerial.
[17:02:21] seth|laptop: thats a good idea fryfrog, I do hav a header available in there

[17:37:15] jeffmeden: or can you generally expect a more expensive card to work better
[17:37:50] fryfrog: jeffmeden: I have the same problem, but in my area the "analog" channels are also broadcast in digital
[17:37:54] orogor: for hertzian tuner cards nope
[17:37:55] kormoc: it's more about how much interference your computer gives the card at that point.
[17:38:07] fryfrog: jeffmeden: so instead of using my mpeg2 card as a tuner, i'll hook up 2x cable boxes via svideo
[17:38:37] kormoc: if you can keep the interference down, you should get a cleaner signal to record
[17:38:50] jeffmeden: fryfrog: i'd rather not tie up two digital cable boxes
[17:39:01] ** hjohnson runs around like a chicken with his head cut off. **
[17:39:10] jeffmeden: kormoc: explain
[17:39:50] jeffmeden: what am i gonna do, open up the computer and tell it to stfu
[17:39:51] kormoc: jeffmeden, well, the tuners on most of those cards are very similar, but the hardest part in a internal tuner is dealing with all the interference the rest of the computer gives off
[17:40:12] jeffmeden: so is it worth it to buy a USB2 external tuner?
[17:40:35] kormoc: jeffmeden, no, but moving cards around can give better results, as well as less cards == better, and turning on such features as spread spectrum in the bios, which cuts down the interference in exchange for some decrease in performance
[17:41:24] seth|laptop: orogor check this out, it might help – http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.tv.xmltv.announce/88

[17:50:30] seth|laptop: hey, Juski, does mytharchive reduce the size of the file before it burns it to dvd?
[17:50:56] Juski: wow. 'best' quality setting with the top level of supersampling is gonna take 4 minutes for a 4 second clip. damn
[17:51:12] Juski: seth|laptop: it _can_ do that if the files you select are too big for the disc
[17:51:37] seth|laptop: orogor, here is another link that may help you – http://gentoo-wiki.com/XMLTV
[17:51:53] Juski: it's the #1 reason to not go with a low powered backend machine too
[17:52:08] seth|laptop: well the average boohbah show for my daughter off of PBS-HD is 3.5GB
[17:52:31] fryfrog: wow
[17:52:31] Juski: seth|laptop: transcoding HDTV to SDTV.. YMMV
[17:52:43] fryfrog: Your Method May Vary?
[17:52:44] seth|laptop: I can't see burning 1 show to a disk, that could get expensive
[17:52:52] Juski: mileage may vary
[17:52:55] fryfrog: oh
[17:53:04] Juski: or, you may get far, or nowhere at all
[17:53:12] fryfrog: i should mess around with transcoding, but i had such a bad experience with it the first time :)
[17:53:23] Juski: it certainly won't be HD for long
[17:54:11] Juski: seth|laptop: just buy her a 50TB array for her next birthday :-P
[17:54:17] seth|laptop: well as long as there is picture and sound, my 11month old won't care , hehe
[17:54:20] hjohnson: seth|laptop: yeah, I'd downsample.. and given that it's a kids show, it should compress fairly well.
[17:54:27] hjohnson: seth|laptop: is it animated or live-action?
[17:54:34] seth|laptop: live action
[17:54:35] hjohnson: (animation is a prime candidate for massive amounts of ocmpression)
[17:54:36] Juski: computer-animated/live
[17:54:45] hjohnson: ahh
[17:54:45] seth|laptop: yeah thats it
[17:54:52] Juski: think teletubbies on MORE acid
[17:54:58] seth|laptop: exactly
[17:55:08] hjohnson: still, you should be able to downsample it to SDTV and not lose a lot.. the kid will never notice. :P
[17:55:25] seth|laptop: that sounds good, but how is that accomplished?

[18:55:05] quantum: is there any way around the problem, I can't imagine a lot of people don't have the issue
[18:55:34] seth|laptop: change you video playback line from internal or mplayer to 'xine -pfhq --no-splash'

[19:15:43] Juski: metalac: or it might worsen.. you never know with nvidia
[19:15:50] metalac: true
[19:16:01] metalac: hey does overscaning use a lot of CPU power?
[19:16:31] Juski: shouldn't use much, but if myth is doing the scaling....
[19:16:46] kormoc: esp on hd
[19:17:04] metalac: what do you mean by scaling?
[19:17:13] kormoc: resizing the video for output
[19:17:23] kormoc: making it larger or smaller
[19:17:32] metalac: well i'm running my GUI at 1920x1080
[19:17:32] stuarta: ie. overscanning
[19:17:36] Juski: like if you checked the 'use GUI size for TV playback' box
[19:18:22] Juski: and the gui size happens to be different to a) the res the video is and b) your X resolution
[19:18:44] metalac: it is cuz max my input can be is 1080i, but i run myth at 1080p
[19:19:05] dverzolla (dverzolla!n=dverzoll@200.186.101.19) has quit (Connection timed out)
[19:19:11] metalac: i turned it off lets see what happens
[19:19:15] fryfrog: does anyone setup myth to switch resoultions around?
[19:19:18] kormoc: forget about i/p when talking about res, it's not gonna scale to make a interlaced video progressive
[19:19:45] fryfrog: The problem I have is that "720p" the video mode is *way* overscanned and makes using myth or anything else really annoying
[19:19:46] Juski: yeh but it'll scale a 704x576 picture to fit 720x576, say
[19:19:58] metalac: hey that fixed it :)
[19:20:04] Kelerion: back.. kinda
[19:20:07] fryfrog: and I'm not sure how to get it to fit on screen nicely
[19:20:07] dverzolla (dverzolla!n=dverzoll@200.186.101.19) has joined #mythtv-users
[19:20:18] fryfrog: ie, what one might do with the controls on the front of their monitor
[19:20:25] metalac: i'm geting 90+% cpu usage still but it's looking nice
[19:20:37] Juski: fryfrog... keep the 'use gui size for tv playback' box unchecked and adjust the GUI size to fit the TV
[19:20:38] Kelerion: ok..so I added a slave backend to my setup here... and I first tested watching TV.. and trying PiP... woohoo!! it works!
[19:20:49] fryfrog: that is what i've done
[19:20:56] fryfrog: it was a pain in the ass though :)
[19:21:14] Juski: yeh I think I heard somebody was working something out about that
[19:21:15] fryfrog: also, the bg of my wm causes the screen to be bright on the edges
[19:21:20] fryfrog: have to set the bg to black
[19:21:32] fryfrog: and even then, the stupid slit on fluxbox makes a bit of haze on the bottom
[19:21:33] Kelerion: but only on live tv... am I missing something? shouldn't it also work whle I'm watching a recording? I spend 95% of my time watching recordings (as I suspect most myth users do!)
[19:21:45] fryfrog: I think I need to find the "perfect" modeline for X, but that is not easy :(
[19:21:59] Juski: Kelerion: no PiP doesn't work for watching recordings
[19:22:14] Kelerion: that sounds a bit wierd for a PVR
[19:22:21] Juski: somebody did a patch for PiP & PaP IIRC, but I bet it blows
[19:22:22] metalac: so the problem with HD now is that there is some lines on top of screen that are screwing up the whole picture
[19:22:31] Kelerion: PaP?
[19:22:39] Juski: picture and picture – i.e. 2 side by side
[19:22:44] Kelerion: ahh
[19:22:52] fryfrog: metalac: like, static?
[19:22:56] Juski: RTFML ;)
[19:23:16] fryfrog: Kelerion: why would you *use* PiP if you are watching a recording?
[19:23:17] ** Kelerion chuckles **
[19:23:27] fryfrog: i mean, PiP is so you can watch 2 shows "live" w/o missing something
[19:23:30] kormoc: fryfrog, to watch two boring shows at once!
[19:23:32] fryfrog: but if they are recordings...
[19:23:32] Kelerion: because... my slave backend is for my CCTV cameras :P
[19:23:35] Juski: I've never seen PiP as anything other than a gimmick for people with short attention spans
[19:23:38] fryfrog: *ohhh*
[19:24:01] fryfrog: do you record it with my 24/7?
[19:24:12] Kelerion: huh?
[19:24:15] metalac: fryfrog: no just some lines like it's not aligning right or something
[19:24:21] kormoc: fryfrog, of course he does, till it autoexpires!
[19:24:22] Zider: I use PiP on my tv to see if a show has started or not while I play NES..
[19:24:55] Juski: Zider: how do you stand the lag? or do you use your TV's PiP ?
[19:25:05] Zider: Juski: the tvs
[19:25:11] Juski: thought as much ;)
[19:25:25] fryfrog: thats a good idea :)
[19:25:39] fryfrog: speaking of nes, i need to get that working with myth
[19:25:58] Kelerion: I'd have preferred to have had something where the second source was just a streamed image from my zoneminder box.. but didn't think that'd be doable
[19:25:59] Juski: good excuse for when you get fragged I suppose.. "I was seeing if CSI had started yet..."
[19:26:04] metalac: i'm still confused why the X usage is sooo HUGE
[19:26:05] Zider: it has 3 scarts, with svhs/composite on each, and is slow on switching.. so it takes forevre to flip thru it back to the NES.. ;)
[19:26:25] metalac: it's like 30% minimum no matter what I play, SD or HD
[19:26:27] Zider: fryfrog: I can recommend mednafen
[19:27:14] Juski: Kelerion: I dont think it'd be too hard to write an extension for that, in theory – but everything's THAT sodding easy in _theory_
[19:27:34] ** Kelerion laughs **
[19:27:43] kormoc: metalac, welcome to the world of X
[19:28:47] Kelerion: in *theorry* you could just have a second source... give it a URL to get a stream from.. and your done... presuming the stream was in a format mythtv could actually play
[19:29:18] fryfrog: anyone know anything about DS emu?
[19:29:26] fryfrog: doesn't seem possible in linux?
[19:29:32] fryfrog: at this time, i mean
[19:30:12] Juski: Kelerion & folks: http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/mythtv/ . . . ding;#217571
[19:30:31] metalac: kormoc: it's just insane that x is using more than mythfrontend
[19:30:47] kormoc: metalac, not really, X is doing all the work
[19:30:51] Zider: fryfrog: DS?
[19:30:57] Kelerion: okies.. another one... my slave backend has two cctv cameras... on my FE I press V to bring up PiP and in displays the first camera.. how can I switch to the 3rd source (second camera)
[19:31:03] metalac: kormoc: so xv is part of X?
[19:31:16] kormoc: metalac, it's provided by the video driver to X, aye
[19:31:39] otwin (otwin!n=Use@217.31.78.25) has joined #mythtv-users
[19:31:44] Juski: Kelerion: B toggles the window focus (lets you change channels on the PiP window)
[19:31:56] metalac: kormoc: for some reason i thought that mythtv does all the work and pushes it to X for display
[19:32:04] kormoc: nope
[19:32:14] GreyFoxx: metalac: Not unless your driver doesn't have xv support
[19:32:20] fryfrog: Zider: DS as in Nintendo DS :)
[19:32:33] fryfrog: Kelerion: swap, then press Y?
[19:32:42] Zider: fryfrog: ahh, yes.. isn't that just a GBA with extra screen?
[19:32:53] fryfrog: Zider: and cpu :)
[19:32:59] kormoc: Zider, a touch screen!
[19:33:08] metalac: on mailing list people are able to play HD with less of cpu than i have, so no clue what i'm doing wrong
[19:33:09] fryfrog: Zider: I *think* I read that some guy who develops a GBA emu is adding support for DS
[19:34:17] Zider: kormoc: really? must've missed that
[19:34:19] Kelerion: so press B to toggle focus to the PiP window.. then press Y to switch the input within *that* window?
[19:34:30] Juski: Kelerion: that'd be about the size of it
[19:34:37] Kelerion: ahh ok.. thanks
[19:34:59] metalac: to watch SD i'm using over 50% of my cpu, 30% for X and 20% for mythfrontend, something is definitely wrong here
[19:35:08] Kelerion: will give it a go in a bit... just remembered I need to svn up my slave backend now.. lol
[19:35:19] GreyFoxx: metalac: from an xterm what do you get from "xvinfo" ?
[19:35:29] Juski: metalac: you definitely have 'nvidia' not 'nv' in your xorg.conf, right? ;)
[19:35:31] Zider: fryfrog: what's the name of that emu?
[19:35:40] metalac: Juski: yeah nvidia is right
[19:35:44] fryfrog: Zider: unfortunatly, i was just randomly googling around
[19:35:44] metalac: GreyFoxx: xvinfo not found
[19:35:48] fryfrog: I don't recall :(
[19:35:51] Zider: fryfrog: ah
[19:36:23] metalac: GreyFoxx: let me emerge it
[19:36:25] GreyFoxx: metalac: Are you running it as the same user that is running X ?
[19:36:35] metalac: GreyFoxx: no i sshd in as root
[19:36:37] Juski: GreyFoxx: seen as you're here.. how did you get on with trying out the screen resizing gadget? I remember you asked me to describe how it goes in XBMC... I can still do you a video for that
[19:36:46] GreyFoxx: metalac: It's not normally in root's path
[19:36:52] GreyFoxx: metalac: run it as the same user and X

[19:37:30] GreyFoxx: metalac: yes :)
[19:37:37] kormoc: GreyFoxx, it's split off as of xorg 6.9+ and thus isn't defaulted by gentoo's install

[19:40:16] fryfrog: something to use with mythgame
[19:40:19] Bazil: kormoc .. ya . something like that
[19:40:23] Juski: works (slowly) for me, does XBox linux & mythtv. very sucky indeed
[19:40:30] GreyFoxx: metalac: Put the output on pastebin
[19:40:32] Honk^gone: Bazil: learn using gentoo if you're using it =)

[19:41:15] CCFL_Man: fryfrog: ahh
[19:41:16] Bazil: see .. ive had a FULLY working version so far .. but .. today it all fucked up .. just stopped working .. mythfilldatabase doesnt do anything .. so i figured it might get fixed updating it
[19:41:23] GreyFoxx: metalac: redirect the output to a file
[19:41:28] GreyFoxx: xvinfo > file.txt
[19:41:28] Honk^gone: metalac: use ssh? =)
[19:41:46] CCFL_Man: fryfrog: you think with a tsop flash removed, an LPC mod will work on an xbox?
[19:41:46] metalac: doing that now
[19:42:05] fryfrog: CCFL_Man: I don't know anything much about xbox & modchip :(
[19:42:30] CCFL_Man: ahh

[19:43:31] ivor: Juski: pongle
[19:43:49] DigerLAP: where can I download Knoppmyth R5C7
[19:43:54] Juski: ivor... output of glxinfo on my minimyth box.. http://pastebin.ca/189060
[19:44:26] ivor: looks ok. what does glxgears give you?
[19:44:48] Juski: ivor: about 400fps
[19:45:34] Juski: 410.552 FPS to be exact
[19:45:57] GreyFoxx: That's pretty low I would think
[19:45:59] ivor: looks like you're rocking then. (even if 400 is a tad slow, are you underclocking?)
[19:46:07] Juski: ivor: not AFAIK
[19:46:12] ivor: 400's about right for a cle266
[19:46:19] ivor: I get 420 on an M9000
[19:46:27] metalac: GreyFoxx: http://www.rafb.net/paste/results/HU05Ya50.html
[19:46:34] ivor: about 750 on a 'Pro.
[19:46:39] Juski: ivor: big difference (narf)
[19:46:54] Juski: this is an M10k
[19:47:35] ivor: Juski: yeah but the 9000 was one of the early non-nehemia boards.
[19:48:02] ivor: anyway, it looks alright, you getting your fadey menus now?
[19:48:09] GreyFoxx: metalac: That looks about normal

[19:48:15] Juski: heh.. and without being logged into it over vnc, almost 500fps
[19:48:26] ivor: there you go
[19:48:26] Juski: well, 475fps anyway
[19:49:03] Juski: I'll try it on my new minimyth next time I boot the ubuntu HDD up to finish the rest of the upgrade
[19:49:36] Juski: glxgears is pretty much pegging the cpu out though
[19:49:51] metalac: GreyFoxx: people with Athlon XP 2800+ get about 10% cpu usage for SD with no xvmc, and i have a sempron 2800+ and i'm geting 50%, unless people don't know how to read cpu usage output
[19:49:54] FarrisG: I'm using 0.20 and it's all running great. I"ve noticed that mythcommflag runs by default when a recording finishes. Is there an easy way to also configure it to (a) automatically remove the commercials and/or (b) automatically transcode to some MPEG-4 format (DivX/XViD)?
[19:50:33] GreyFoxx: metalac: my xp2500+ does 10–15% for SDTV, that I would expect that
[19:50:53] metalac: GreyFoxx: yeah that sounds about right, how is your X usage?
[19:50:58] Juski: FarrisG: you don't wanna auto-remove anything. auto is seldom perfect
[19:51:22] GreyFoxx: metalac: 15% when using HDTV/1080i content, almost nothing for sdtv
[19:51:43] kormoc: FarrisG, sure, you can do a user job to import the commflags to a cutlist, but it may cut out parts of shows and what not
[19:51:56] metalac: GreyFoxx: so it seems that it's X what's killing me cuz its about 30% for SD and 45–55 for HD
[19:51:58] radi0head: When I quit the "Delete Recordings" session, It doesn't bring me back to the "Manage Recordings" until I do alt-tab. It seems like the gui doesn't refresh itself until I hi alt-tab twice. Anyone experiencing this? BTW, I'm using mythtv-svn_r11312_20060927-i486–1
[19:52:11] GreyFoxx: metalac: Yeah, sounds like something is off there
[19:52:16] metalac: GreyFoxx: any way i can benchmark it or something?
[19:52:19] GreyFoxx: I really don't know what it would be
[19:52:26] GreyFoxx: hmmmm what version of the nvidia drivers ?
[19:52:37] metalac: i just upgraded
[19:52:54] metalac: 1.0.8774
[19:53:07] GreyFoxx: metalac: try this
[19:53:09] metalac: used to be 1.0.8762 with same problem
[19:53:11] GreyFoxx: close mythfrontend
[19:53:20] GreyFoxx: rerun it from an xterm
[19:53:23] GreyFoxx: like this
[19:53:33] GreyFoxx: mythfrontend -O UseOpenGLVSync=0
[19:53:59] orogor: the stuff based on nextview epg seems to work fine
[19:54:16] orogor: now i se programms in the db
[19:54:24] orogor: but i can t see them in the epg
[19:54:27] FarrisG: So I guess what I mean is, can I setup a process so that once I verify/edit the commflag info, is it easy to setup a job that will automatically remove the verified breaks and then transcode?
[19:55:09] metalac: GreyFoxx: ahhhhh that's more like it ;) 14% for mythfrontend, nothing for X
[19:55:36] GreyFoxx: sounds like your driver is buggy for opengl vsync

[19:58:27] metalac: GreyFoxx: I'll look into gentoo's opengl manual nad see what's up
[19:59:54] lostboy1: metalac: are you using closed source drivers?
[20:00:10] metalac: lostboy1: yea

[20:00:32] GreyFoxx: metalac: back around the 81xx nvidia driver versions they had similar openglvsync issues where it would drive up CPU load
[20:00:33] orogor: it returns only the list of channels
[20:00:35] lostboy1: metalac: did you do "eselect opengl nvidia" or the like?

[20:02:01] AdamDH: hi all
[20:02:14] lostboy1: metalac: just for giggles, what frame rate do you get with glxgears?
[20:02:21] Juski: woof my mythtv box is getting busy
[20:02:52] Juski: 4 tuners on a Via KT600 board? not even I'm that daft
[20:03:18] metalac: is there anything regarding OpenGL i could do in nvidia-settings?
[20:03:19] Juski: ey AdamDH .. up for another round vs mythtv?
[20:03:22] GreyFoxx: Juski: How do you like the EPIA board? I'm being asked to do one up for my wifes cousin and was thinking of using one
[20:03:30] AdamDH: yes
[20:03:36] Juski: GreyFoxx: it's spiffy for a frontend
[20:03:52] metalac: lostboy1: ewwwwwww i get like 60fps
[20:03:58] GreyFoxx: metalac: There are settings in there but I doubt they would help. For now I would suggest turning off Oglvsync in myth
[20:04:03] GreyFoxx: metalac: ouch hehe
[20:04:08] Juski: Merlin83b is a bit fond of his dual dvb-t tuner Epia setup too
[20:04:11] AdamDH: trying to manually tune via terminal to a channle so I know the drivers work but I get nothing but static
[20:04:24] GreyFoxx: Juski: Cool. a single tuner and a small all in one board are good for her. TVout is pretty good I assume ?
[20:04:30] metalac: GreyFoxx: glxgears shouldn't have anything to do with me watching HD extra slow would it?
[20:04:54] lostboy1: metalac: 60fps says your running software gl
[20:04:57] GreyFoxx: metalac: not specifically unless openglvsync is using, but it does indicate a problem
[20:04:58] Juski: GreyFoxx: svideo doesn't sparkle as much as it should .. bit fuzzy on blues for some odd reason in PAL mode
[20:05:11] fryfrog: does yoru xorg.conf have "load glx"?
[20:05:22] metalac: fryfrog: yes it does
[20:05:24] fryfrog: i mean, thats prolly a duh :/
[20:05:28] Juski: GreyFoxx: only visible on VERY saturated colours though

[20:05:49] GreyFoxx: Juski: hmmm. I think we might have one around the office I get use to play with
[20:05:56] GreyFoxx: if the TVout is good enough I might get one for her
[20:06:10] GreyFoxx: just trying to avoid a "big" pc looking thing and don'ty wanna spend big money on it
[20:06:26] Juski: GreyFoxx: it'll need XvMC working to be any use at all though. mine is 1Ghz & xine can't cope with dvd playback without it
[20:06:38] GreyFoxx: hmmmm
[20:06:58] metalac: i turned rendeaccell on in xorg, and now i'm getting 1500fps ;)
[20:07:06] GreyFoxx: Actually now that I think of it, I've got a athlon 1.2ghz machine laying around at home
[20:07:07] Juski: though that might've been cos I hadn't turned on DMA on the DVD drive, it was so long ago now
[20:07:08] ivor: GreyFoxx: I'll add another epia vote.
[20:07:23] ivor: perfect for little low power front ends.
[20:07:29] GreyFoxx: Juski/Ivor: which bouards? M10k's?
[20:07:57] fryfrog: metalac: how do you turn that on?
[20:08:01] Juski: GreyFoxx: M10k here, modded to be fanless with a Zalman Northbridge cooler
[20:08:02] ivor: depends on your output needs. the commell boards have component out on them
[20:08:20] GreyFoxx: composite or svideo are fine for her
[20:08:29] Juski: I still need to look into modding the board to get RGB out of the TV encoder :)
[20:08:48] ivor: also... if you have HD mpeg2 then you'll want a Unichrome-pro.
[20:08:49] ** GreyFoxx heads out to pick up his little'un **
[20:09:03] metalac: fryfrog: Option RenderAccel "true" in video card section of xorg.conf
[20:09:05] ** Juski looks at his to-do list... shit! it's getting long **
[20:09:27] ivor: Juski: I think you'll have to detach the necessary pins off the board and wire them up.
[20:09:43] Juski: pin 12 is the missing link IIRC
[20:09:52] lostboy1: metalac: did that help at all?
[20:09:57] ivor: yup but I believe it's tied low on the mainboard.
[20:10:14] Juski: ivor: lifting a pin is no sweat for me
[20:10:14] metalac: lostboy1: didn't help with HD at all
[20:10:25] ivor: hmm too small for my fat fingers
[20:10:25] Juski: and I doubt they tie an output pin low
[20:10:48] Juski: that'd be somewhat BAD for the output driver ;)
[20:11:16] metalac: this is weird using xvmc i get much worse SD, now it's up to 80% for SD
[20:11:19] metalac: up from 17%
[20:11:20] metalac: weird
[20:11:26] Juski: some boards have a header with all the outputs on em.. wish I'd got one of them instead
[20:11:39] ivor: true :)
[20:11:44] Juski: then I could use a _quality_ RGB to svid encoder
[20:12:09] Juski: either that or relegate my cable box to AV2

[22:50:13] kusznir: (frontend is communicating with a seperate backend; it used to work fine. I just rebuilt it, and am now eperiencing the problems.

[23:06:33] Ibeam: is there a way to stop a tuner from being used when another tuner on the same card is being used? (composite takes over from DVB and Myth doesn't complain while recording )
[23:07:07] kormoc: wouldn't you configure them as different inputs on the same card?
[23:07:14] kormoc: then myth should do the proper thing, no?
[23:08:22] Ibeam: kormoc: yes they are different inputs, but the hardware is incapable of tuning both simultaneously,
[23:08:30] kormoc: right
[23:08:56] kormoc: myth should know that one card == one stream, and thus if they're both setup as a single card, it should know and do the proper thing

[23:10:30] Ibeam: kormoc: hmm... between analog Television and composite it does, but DVB and Analog TV/Composite it doesn't (it's a hybrid card, and it appears as 2 different devices)
[23:10:44] kormoc: ahh
[23:10:47] kormoc: that would be why then
[23:10:55] kormoc: currently, I don't think there is a way to do that then

[23:12:32] siXy: or maybe it was a 1300 im not sure, anyway, i gave up in the end
[23:12:41] Dagmar: You should be able to just tell it to only run a max of one recording job at a time.
[23:12:43] Cardoe (Cardoe!n=Cardoe@gentoo/developer/Cardoe) has joined #mythtv-users
[23:12:47] Dagmar: Then set tuner affinity for your recordings
[23:13:10] Dagmar: You are definitely allowed to tell 0.20 "I want this program recorded on tuneer two if possible"
[23:13:12] regicide666: anyone using firewire
[23:13:30] Ibeam: Dagmar: that's a good idea, but I have 3 cards so i Can't limit the number of recordings
[23:13:40] Cardoe: regicide666: I know someone that does
[23:14:01] sunnyhours4130: can anyone recommend an infrared receiver IC available in the US (making a remote control receiver for use with lirc)
[23:14:05] regicide666: I am getting data with "test-mpeg2 -r 1 > test1.mpg" but I can not play it in mplayer
[23:14:12] Dagmar: Ibeam: I don't really see that as much of a problem so long as you don't actually schedule a conflict
[23:14:18] Cardoe: Does MythVideo work with Xine?
[23:14:33] kormoc: Cardoe, why wouldn't it?
[23:14:33] xris: I think so
[23:14:42] opello: aren't there homemade irblaster circuits around somewhere?
[23:15:18] Dagmar: Many
[23:15:34] Dagmar: If you're lazy you can just order a transciever for about $25–30 pre-made
[23:15:45] xris: opello: lirc.org is a good starting place
[23:15:54] opello: sunnyhours4130: ^ :)
[23:16:11] xris: opello: or to irblaster.info and buy a nice-looking one
[23:16:13] Ibeam: Dagmar: when someone wants to watch LiveTV and that input is the only one available it tunes to it
[23:16:21] nero: opello, the ir diode + resister in series circuit is by far the easiest, and costs about a buck to make.
[23:16:28] opello: xris: sunnyhours4130 asked ... i figured someone might have the link
[23:16:32] opello: i didn't think you needed an ic
[23:16:34] xris: nero: more like $8, actually
[23:16:46] nero: xris, $8?? how so?
[23:17:07] nero: (cost me about 10c for the resistor and a buckish for the IR diode)
[23:17:47] Ibeam: Ibeam: I'm not the user of this machine, and they have a certain lack of comprehension that if all tuners are being used, then not to watch LiveTv... I hink I'll just nag them into submission.. hehe
[23:17:50] opello: oh, he was making a receiver
[23:18:01] opello: i thought he was just making the standard blaster ...
[23:18:58] Ibeam: Dagmar: ^
[23:19:30] xris: nero: cost me about $5 for the serial plug
[23:19:46] Dagmar: Ibeam: just edit the menu and take LiveTV watching out of it.  ;)
[23:19:58] Dagmar: Tell them they can only watch what is recorded
[23:19:59] nero: xris, oh yeah.. forgot about that... (i just butchered an old serial cable that wasn't in use)
[23:20:18] Ibeam: Dagmar: heh.. sounds like a plan
[23:20:23] xris: nero: all of my old serial plugs were din9 (mac)
[23:21:17] Ibeam: thanx for the info folks
[23:21:25] nero: Ok.. opello as long as you have an old serial cable laying around, it costs about a buck to build your own.. ;)
[23:21:31] opello: yeah :)
[23:22:10] opello: i'm sure i'd just go buy a solder end from the shack if they even carry that kind of stuff anymore
[23:22:41] nero: opello, at the shack that'll probably cost you about $30.00 ;)
[23:23:03] opello: heh

[23:37:37] artus30: Hi all
[23:37:48] artus30: any lirc specialist available?
[23:38:35] siXy: just ask your question :)
[23:38:50] artus30: I have a problem with lirc_serial
[23:39:07] artus30: I tried it and it loads ok
[23:39:09] siXy: oroger – not in .19. that may have changed now, but i had to write a scrip to do it
[23:39:11] artus30: I am using Suse 10.1
[23:39:26] siXy: whats the problem?
[23:39:27] artus30: mode2 does not show anything
[23:39:35] orogor: siXy, where is it ?
[23:39:44] artus30: irw not either
[23:39:52] siXy: what the script i wrote? on one of my computers
[23:40:03] orogor: apprently the issue is to associate imdb ids wit movies, even the search doesn t seems to work
[23:40:23] siXy: artus did you use the lirc thats built into suse or did you compile from source?
[23:40:58] artus30: lirc_dev: module not supported by Novell, setting U taint flag.
[23:40:59] artus30: lirc_dev: IR Remote Control driver registered, at major 61
[23:40:59] artus30: lirc_serial: module not supported by Novell, setting U taint flag.
[23:40:59] artus30: lirc_serial: auto-detected active low receiver
[23:40:59] artus30: lirc_dev: lirc_register_plugin: sample_rate: 0
[23:40:59] artus30: BIOS EDD facility v0.16 2004-Jun-25, 1 devices found
[23:41:10] artus30: Suse binary
[23:41:28] Dagmar: But a reciever made from tin foil and cherry candies, right?
[23:41:49] siXy: in that case i would check your hardware, and the settings in modprobe.conf
[23:42:08] Dagmar: mode2 seldom shows _nothing_ unless the hardware is broken
[23:42:20] artus30: and irw ?
[23:42:53] siXy: irw wont show much useful without a properly configured conf in /etc/
[23:43:09] Dagmar: Irw won't show you *anything*
[23:43:13] siXy: but mode2 *should* show something
[23:43:14] Dagmar: It's an _output_ tool
[23:43:23] siXy: thats what i said
[23:43:38] Dagmar: "wont show much useful" implies it might show somehting.
[23:43:38] artus30: how can I find out if anything is received?
[23:43:50] Dagmar: artus30: Usually, that's what you use mode2 for
[23:43:59] siXy: meh language differences :/ i need to remember that not everyone speaks the way i do
[23:44:03] Dagmar: ALl it does is spit out numbers representing the pulse lengths
[23:44:35] siXy: check the serial port isnt disabled in bios, and that your hardware is connected correctly
[23:44:37] Dagmar: If you had an IR LED on a keychain and just pushed it near the receiver, mode2 would show you largish numbers
[23:45:26] siXy: but a blank mode2 on serial devices is bad news
[23:45:26] artus30: if dmesg shows ttyS0 is it enabled in BIOS ?
[23:47:05] nasa: anyone have any luck with sa3250HD? (comcast HD box ) via firewire. I have been following this: http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/FireWire. Plugreport isn't showing any active nodes, any thing I am missing?
