[07:32:28] | Dibblah: | fuffalo: Have you skipped bits of your installation instructions? |

[07:33:00] | Dibblah: | in8: That's not likely to be the problem. |
[07:33:31] | Dibblah: | You need to set the two IPs to be the same in mythtv-setup for the MBE. Then the scheduler will run on that box. |
[07:34:06] | Dibblah: | fuffalo: Where did you put the firmware? |

[08:33:26] | Juski: | you'll find that mythbackend will still work |
[08:35:04] | Merlin83b2: | Morning Juski :) |
[08:35:07] | Juski: | when you're getting stuff working I find it best to run mythbackend in a shell, not as a daemon.. just til I know it all works |
[08:35:44] | Juski: | Merlin83b2: how's your ickle epia system? bearing up still? |
[08:36:12] | Merlin83b2: | All wonderful apart from one thing. BFSQ makes playback pause for just a moment annoyingly often. |
[08:36:18] | Merlin83b2: | If I had some spare time I'd work on that. |

[08:43:28] | Juski: | you mean X crashed? |
[08:43:55] | fuffalo_: | i dunno, my screen went black and the computer wouldn't respond to anything, so i had to power off/on |

[08:44:32] | Juski: | though I suspect if you don't know, you ain't |
[08:44:43] | Juski: | install the proper drivers for your vga card |
[08:45:35] | Juski: | and if you've not tested 1) video playback outside of mythtv or 2) the tuner hardware outside of mythtv I _strongly_ suggest you do so ASAP |
[08:46:05] | fuffalo_: | how do i test it outside of mythtv |
[08:49:25] | Juski: | depends. for (CRAPPY) software encoder cards use tvtime to test the tvtuner. for ivtv cards, read the ivtv documentation. for dvb & HDTV tuner cards use the dvb-apps |
[08:50:49] | Juski: | and see if there's an entry in the official mythtv wiki for your distro |
[08:51:03] | Juski: | if using knoppmyth, try the knoppmyth wiki (but remember to sign up first) |

[11:00:24] | frtdx: | ok |

[11:00:53] | orogor: | no idea |
[11:01:06] | frtdx: | u have to use a phone line for ur connection ? |
[11:01:18] | orogor: | technically nothing will explode when you ll plugg the second card, that s what i meant by possible |
[11:01:23] | orogor: | as for pying stuff i have no idea |
[11:01:40] | orogor: | i dont have dvb-s or dvb-t |
[11:02:09] | orogor: | i got the tv via internet and an analog card |
[11:02:12] | frtdx: | so how many free channels do u get? |
[11:03:17] | frtdx: | one thing good abt dvb is u dont have to re-encode it .. IMO .. so no dropped frames .. or audio sync problem |

[12:30:38] | Dibblah: | In contrib, there's a test app. Which AFAIR allows you to also reset the box. |

[12:31:22] | Dibblah: | Not that I have the joys of firewire here :( |
[12:31:34] | fryfrog: | i re-wrote a channel changing script and posted it to the wiki |
[12:31:46] | fryfrog: | and added my specific model of DCT6412 to the 6200ch channel changer |
[12:32:06] | Dibblah: | The Sky HD box has a firewire port... But it's "reserved for future expansion" :( |
[12:32:06] | Juski: | that, and I like to run VNC on a weird port |
[12:32:22] | Juski: | reserved for 5C enabled HDD boxen |
[12:32:50] | quicksilver: | 5C? |
[12:33:06] | Juski: | I saw $ky HD on Friday. Looked ok apart from the macroblocks |
[12:33:16] | stuarta: | maybe that should be 5c crippled boxen |
[12:33:27] | stuarta: | quicksilver: DRM crap |
[12:33:31] | fryfrog: | ahh, neat i see! |
[12:33:55] | fryfrog: | I wonder if my boxes work better with broadcast or p2p and wtf is that? :p |
[12:34:02] | Juski: | 5C encripplement |
[12:34:22] | stuarta: | oh and afternoon all |
[12:34:27] | Juski: | or is it more like $0.05 ? |
[12:34:31] | Juski: | afternoon stuarta |
[12:35:05] | quicksilver: | stuarta: ah |
[12:37:17] | Juski: | p2p? that wouldn't be direct firewire -> limewire would it? :-P |
[12:40:12] | Juski: | are belkin UPS any good? |
[12:40:19] | fryfrog: | Juski: I dunno, the wikipedia article implies that "p2p" means it is device to device communication (ie, not requiring a computer) |
[12:40:30] | fryfrog: | Juski: I have a 1000VA Belkin UPS, it does nicely |
[12:40:33] | Juski: | just for keeping a box up long enough to shut it down, I mean... |
[12:40:39] | fryfrog: | Juski: and the latest version of NUT seems to support it |
[12:40:45] | Juski: | ahhh |
[12:40:56] | fryfrog: | That said, I never finished configuring NUT :) |
[12:40:57] | Juski: | don't need 1000VA though |
[12:41:15] | fryfrog: | I'd take a look at the nutd page and pick one that is well supported |

[12:43:22] | Juski: | if push came to shove I'm sure I could write something to handle a safe shutdown |
[12:43:49] | fryfrog: | nut can do all that too |
[12:43:58] | fryfrog: | and apc-something, i forget its name |
[12:44:07] | fryfrog: | actually, nut is a bit more powrful |
[12:44:16] | fryfrog: | you can tell it what *other* computers are on the UPS too |
[12:44:17] | orogor: | i removed al the cards and data sources and stuff, then made again everything , using youir m3u , checked taht it did contain the xmlid, checked mytht had the id, imported and checked the graber got the programms |
[12:44:25] | Juski: | all I want is 'uh-oh.. ups says the power is out... time to shutdown" |

[12:51:32] | ** Merlin83b considers calling the girlfriend... ** | |
[12:51:39] | Juski: | Merlin83b: had a power cut at home with the thunderstorm.. so the box might not even be awake.. had to get mrs J to unplug the machine then plug it back in |
[12:51:41] | fryfrog: | Merlin83b: dyndns :) |
[12:51:41] | Merlin83b: | Currently at home writing up PhD... |
[12:52:09] | Juski: | box's BIOS is set to come back up after a powerout but the PSU needed reset |
[12:52:13] | Merlin83b: | fryfrog: Don't get me started. I have accounts with dyndns.org and changeip.com and neither seems to work. My router's supposed to run the dyndns.org one but refuses to do so. |
[12:52:34] | Juski: | I have a no-ip.org.. works really well :) |
[12:52:48] | ** stuarta has static ip ** | |
[12:53:05] | Juski: | my IP hasn't changed for ages |
[12:53:32] | Merlin83b: | I may try them out, Juski. No idea why the changeip.com one isn't updating, it's done from a simple cron task. |
[12:54:14] | stuarta: | it's teasing me. my server is half responding, but the connection isn't coming up |
[12:54:21] | stuarta: | stupid router |
[12:54:48] | ** stuarta goes looking for a new router ** | |
[12:55:55] | ** Merlin83b tails an access_log and sends an sms to Kes :) ** | |

[12:56:34] | Merlin83b: | On another note, any idea why I can see my mythtv box as a UPnP thing but can't see any of the recordings on it? |
[12:56:43] | Merlin83b: | Kes is my girlfriend :) |
[12:56:48] | Merlin83b: | Not the kestrel. |

[13:12:13] | Juski: | plus I hate to think how bad mythweb is on a slow connection |
[13:12:33] | ivor: | sure, but if usually the thing that triggers me wanting to record something will be browsing a web page or reading an email. i.e. I'm usually at a computer. |
[13:13:02] | Juski: | sometimes I'll be sitting somewhere reading a paper.. like the Tv section of the newspaper... |

[13:51:33] | stuarta: | hehe. been meaning to get around to that. |
[13:51:55] | Juski: | oh I thought I was the one sposed to do the stuff you suggested |

[13:52:25] | stuarta: | otherwise i'll have to hack it myself. |
[13:52:57] | Juski: | tbh I dunno if the criticism about the bitrate choice is fair. I doubt the mp2 bitrate would ever be under the target bitrate |
[13:53:39] | stuarta: | well the test recordings I did were all 64kb from memory |
[13:53:47] | Juski: | really? |
[13:53:56] | stuarta: | yeah, bbc world service |
[13:54:09] | Juski: | ah yeah |
[13:54:17] | Juski: | won't be that much work I don't think |
[13:54:39] | stuarta: | nope, just a bit of parsing of ffmpeg output. |
[13:54:50] | Juski: | that's the bloody catch |
[13:54:59] | Juski: | how often do they change the output text? |

[13:56:20] | Juski: | god my regex's are scary |
[13:56:45] | stuarta: | guess the better question is, how many stations broadcast at a higher bitrate than you want? |
[13:57:11] | stuarta: | some stuff off bbc r2 was also 64kb/s |
[13:57:13] | Juski: | hmm maybe just use the source bitrate by default then |
[13:57:26] | stuarta: | yeah that's my thinking. |
[13:57:36] | Juski: | hang on though.. 64kbit mp3 is gonna be shitty |
[13:57:41] | stuarta: | then you can just do ffmpeg -i infile.mpg outfile.mp3 |
[13:57:50] | fryfrog: | I'm trying to change the pre/post start time using mythweb, is that option called "DefaultEndOffset"? |
[13:57:56] | Juski: | most stuff is 192 or 256kbits |
[13:57:57] | fryfrog: | DefaultStartOffset |
[13:57:58] | fryfrog: | ? |
[13:58:09] | stuarta: | but upconverting 64kb to something higher won't add any info to improve quality |
[13:58:18] | Juski: | stuarta: yeah I know that |
[13:58:35] | Juski: | just I thought it was all a lot better than 64kbit |
[13:58:54] | stuarta: | would have though so too |
[13:59:01] | Juski: | it sounds better n' that |
[13:59:21] | Juski: | sounds better than DAB that's for sure.. not even DAB has a bitrate that low expect for the mono channels |

[14:11:56] | Juski: | looking at pictures would only prolly determine the manufacturer anyway – not the model no. |

[14:41:23] | Merlin83b: | stuarta: It's quite possible I have no idea :) |
[14:41:34] | robert83a1: | hello, is there some sorta utility that I can use to scan for channels other then the mythtv built in, it seems it's not detecting a few channels for me, probably cause the transmission from the cable company is weak or something. ivtv-tune I used but going trough those Mhz by hand takes a lot of time, is there some sorta other tool I could use to scan the channels myself and probably finetune em so I can see how to set those kHz-s |
[14:41:45] | Merlin83b: | stuarta: I was giving the UPnP just works paradigm a go. It didn't go. |
[14:42:11] | stuarta: | Merlin83b: the formats listed don't look like any formats myth produces. |
[14:42:47] | GreyFoxx: | Merlin83b: For my use I'm just using djmount to "mount" upnp devices |
[14:42:53] | stuarta: | robert83a1: out of interest, what version you using and where are you based? |

[14:43:30] | robert83a1: | using a PAL PVR 150 Hauppauge card |
[14:44:01] | robert83a1: | PAL-BG is the format I've selected and yet some channels like C-05 are not found... all other channelrs SR S work, I'm missing the hungarian channels |
[14:44:09] | Merlin83b: | Good point, stuarta. |
[14:44:33] | stuarta: | robert83a1: this digital or analogue ? |
[14:44:50] | fryfrog: | okay, i found *one* suggestion to change to "tcp" for nfs over gige :/ |
[14:45:04] | robert83a1: | I'm connected via the tuner interface, it comes via cable, so it's analogue |
[14:45:54] | robert83a1: | I'm trying to find some sorta software that could be used to scan frequencies , I know approx that 591Mhz is RTL KLUB |
[14:46:02] | robert83a1: | but if I do a ivtv -f 591 , all I get is static |
[14:46:48] | robert83a1: | whereas on my tv it works perfectly, I guess the 591.xxx is failing here , I checked the values for other channels that mythtv detected in the kHz format... |
[14:48:29] | robert83a1: | anyone know where I could get the ptune-ui.pl for Fedora Core 5, it's just a simple perl script, is it downloadable somewhere? |
[14:53:48] | robert83a1: | guys, also how can I change ivtv-tune region from us-cable to europe-west? I tried google I tried text, but I couldn't get the right name |
[14:55:14] | Beakster: | anyone know how long transcoding 30 mins of video should take on an athlon 800? |

[15:16:34] | Merlin83b: | It is about right for 100mbps though... |

[15:20:05] | netrix: | if you had 2 pvr 500's, one with samsung tuners and the other with phillips would you specify the tuner options this way: tuner=68,68,57,57 or do you need two "options ivtv tuner=x,x" lines for each card? |
[15:20:24] | fryfrog: | netrix: no idea, what is wrong with auto-detect? |

[15:21:53] | GreyFoxx: | oops |
[15:21:53] | netrix: | i don't think it's detecting properly because the video is all fuzzy. |

[15:25:05] | fryfrog: | iperf -c 10.0.1.2 -f M |
[15:25:09] | fryfrog: | that was with those options |

[15:25:16] | fryfrog: | bah, time for lunch and learn :( |
[15:25:19] | fryfrog: | k |
[15:26:03] | robert83a1: | netrix : if I may ask , how do you know which tuner do you have, I mean the number, is there a table somewhere online ? |
[15:26:34] | netrix: | robert83a1: check tuner.h from the ivtv driver for the list, and peel the sticker off the tuner can to see what you have. |
[15:26:58] | robert83a1: | netrix : thank you |
[15:27:17] | netrix: | robert83a1: on the back of the card is the serial number and you will see that as well when you modprobe ivtv. useful for troubleshooting multiple card installs. |
[15:30:40] | robert83a1: | netrix : it's possible to check the tuner type without peeling of the sticker, via the serial number ? ( I think that peeling the sticker off, would probably void waranty on my Hauppauge PVR-150) |
[15:31:19] | netrix: | robert83a1: not that I know of. i noticed the sticker was sticky enough to put it back on tho. |
[15:32:49] | robert83a1: | netrix : ok so on the tuner I will be able to see for example Philips FQ1216AME_MK4, and then I will know that I will have to use options ivtv tuner=56 (according to tuner.h) |
[15:33:20] | netrix: | robert83a1: yep. tho i noticed the current drivers do seem to detect the tuner properly so you may not even need to do this. |
[15:34:06] | robert83a1: | netrix : mine was not detected... mythtv havent even scanned any channel till I've set the tuner option, I'm only asking this because it might be I'm using wrong tuner option for my card, cause some channels are not detected. |
[15:34:16] | robert83a1: | (and I've used fc5 with latest updates) |
[15:34:30] | netrix: | robert83a1: when i peeled the sticker back I noticed that the exact model of the tuner was there and it was an exact match with the tuner listed in tuner.h, ie the samsungs are "TCPN2221P30A" which was in tuner.h |
[15:34:51] | netrix: | robert83a1: yeah i have had that problem with a PVR-350 card too. tho that was with an older version of ivtv. |
[15:34:56] | robert83a1: | netrix : thank you, I'll try to peel that sticker off. |

[16:18:33] | GreyFoxx: | So you can have the channel "Scifi channel" but a callsign of "SCIFI" |
[16:18:51] | GreyFoxx: | the callsign would have to match if you want myth to see them as the same channel |

[17:21:48] | fryfrog: | as long as you aren't talking kde/gnome, it isn't bad |
[17:22:01] | Zider: | cipher_nemo: the installation is only done once tho.. |
[17:22:10] | cipher_nemo: | Zider: ah, thanks... didn't know that. I assumed gentoo users booted to some stripped down kernel, then built the kernel and everything from scratch |
[17:22:14] | fryfrog: | but it definatly *isn't* faster than a binary one |
[17:22:22] | fryfrog: | cipher_nemo: yeah, that is how it works |
[17:22:43] | Zider: | cipher_nemo: stage3 (precompiled) is default installation now.. |
[17:22:57] | cipher_nemo: | fryfrog: only faster if using some odd architecture (like VIA CPUs) where other distros don't have built kernels for it |
[17:22:59] | fryfrog: | but you do still have to compile the kernel, X, mythtv, etc |
[17:23:19] | fryfrog: | nah, even then binary distros are probably faster to install than gentoo :) |
[17:23:42] | cipher_nemo: | fryfrog: so all of gentoo's sources.list are dev/source sources? hehehe |
[17:24:01] | fryfrog: | i don't know what you mean? |
[17:24:12] | fryfrog: | but yes, gentoo grabs the "source" of everything you install |

[17:26:16] | fryfrog: | netrix: is the b&w input over tuner, svideo, rca, etc? |
[17:26:28] | cipher_nemo: | so, anyone else have any complete guide links for 0.20? |
[17:26:36] | fryfrog: | and are you testing with cat /dev/video0 or in myth? |

[17:26:49] | fryfrog: | i basically followed the one that came with myth and the one on gentoo's site |
[17:26:57] | fryfrog: | it isn't *that* hard or different from original one |
[17:27:01] | netrix: | both ... have tried cat'ing /dev/video and viewing the mpg file and also in myth. same result. |
[17:27:06] | fryfrog: | *unless* you are looking for no brainer, command line by command line? |
[17:27:20] | fryfrog: | netrix: humm, what version of ivtv? |
[17:27:36] | kormoc: | cipher_nemo, ooh, each ebuild has the servers for that specific program's source code, so there is no generic list |
[17:27:56] | netrix: | fryfrog: 0.4.7 |
[17:28:19] | kormoc: | cipher_nemo, if you can't follow the one on myth's website, really you shouldn't compile from source imho |
[17:28:27] | fryfrog: | is that the latest for your kernel? I use 2.6.18 and ivtv 0.8.0 :/ |
[17:28:34] | netrix: | fryfrog: the output of loading the module is all correct, i checked the tuners and looked at the ivtv output and it is detecting the right tuners on the right card. |

[17:29:58] | netrix: | fryfrog: nope, i can cycle through all the tuners using 'y' in mythfrontend and all of them look the same. |
[17:30:07] | fryfrog: | oh |
[17:30:16] | netrix: | i'm also at the point where i will pull out the new card .. |
[17:30:20] | fryfrog: | its a pain in the ass, but have you tried removing the pvr500 and trying with *one*? |
[17:30:24] | fryfrog: | ha! |
[17:30:26] | fryfrog: | i'd try that |

[17:30:36] | netrix: | grr. back down to the basement for me then. brb. |
[17:30:38] | cipher_nemo: | fryfrog: what version of ivtv are you using for the 1 PVR-500s? |
[17:30:40] | netrix: | fryfrog: thanks. |
[17:30:51] | fryfrog: | cipher_nemo: Maybe you could be the one to start from zero and get it working on a system and document it out the wazoo :) |
[17:30:56] | cipher_nemo: | correction: netrix |
[17:31:08] | fryfrog: | cipher_nemo: I *will* be using 0.8.0 with kernel 2.6.18, my PVR500 isn't in the system yet |
[17:31:35] | cipher_nemo: | fryfrog: yeah, that seems to be the direction I'm heading, lol... darnit, I hate being a documentation pioneer hehehe :P |
[17:31:42] | fryfrog: | netrix: my totally random, off the wall guess is that it has something to do with having two :/ |
[17:31:51] | sigger: | anyone use a music player other than mythmusic (e.g. mpd) on their mythbox? |
[17:31:52] | fryfrog: | cipher_nemo: i just hate documenting period :) |
[17:32:11] | fryfrog: | i use mpd with jinzora on my server, but i don't know if that is what you mean? |
[17:32:21] | fryfrog: | mpd and myth won't share, either i think :/ |
[17:32:47] | cipher_nemo: | fryfrog: open source has a way of making its users into an oxymoron: mandatory volunteers |
[17:33:09] | fryfrog: | hehe |
[17:33:22] | fryfrog: | the problem is open source people are developers, and developers hate documenting stuff! |
[17:33:26] | fryfrog: | it isn't as fun |
[17:33:40] | ** cipher_nemo spits out some cool-looking code and wraps it... now you document it :) ** | |
[17:33:47] | sigger: | they don't share database info. I want my music access (e.g. mpd) but mythmusic is proving too cumbersome for a large collection (13K+ songs). |
[17:33:47] | fryfrog: | what the OSS community needs is an influx of technical writers who do *that* for fun |
[17:34:16] | fryfrog: | sigger: yeah, i think using the mythmusic ui with a remote is zomg tedius |
[17:34:22] | kormoc: | cipher_nemo, well, if you don't want to work for it, you could just not use it... it's not like open source is forced on you |
[17:34:24] | cipher_nemo: | fryfrog: yeah, I hear ya... I'm forced to document things in the M$ house where I'm forced to XML document everything I write in .NET apps |
[17:34:25] | fryfrog: | i think someone was talking about updating it |
[17:35:14] | sigger: | I already use mpd (in conjunction with ampache) so I'd love to do something with that since there's plenty good webserver interfaces (remote is just wrong for songlist preparation) |
[17:35:15] | cipher_nemo: | kormoc: true, but if you want to use a non-mature package, then you have to become some sort of guru with it to get anywhere :) |
[17:35:33] | cipher_nemo: | it's amazing how far MythTV came from 0.18 to 0.20 |
[17:35:37] | sigger: | fryfrog: there was a SoC guy on it, but last I looked nothing got done |
[17:36:19] | fryfrog: | yeah, i think someone was talking about the fact he sucked but was looking for his code to see what he accomplished |

[18:44:07] | kormoc: | antiPo5ix, well, that's not unheard of, gcc 4 is a bit new still, so it's buggy |
[18:44:24] | netrix: | okay ... if anyone can give me any other troubleshooting tips for a pvr 500 i'd love to hear 'em. |
[18:44:33] | netrix: | i get static-ie black and white on mine. |
[18:44:39] | antiPo5ix: | sell it on ebay and get a 150 ? |

[18:44:57] | Juski: | netrix: wrong tuner type selected? incorrect freq. table used? |
[18:45:21] | Juski: | auto doesn't always (I mean it rarely) gets it right |
[18:45:29] | netrix: | Juski: i peeled back the stickets like you said and verified the tuner types, when ivtv loads it is autodetecting the right one. |
[18:45:45] | netrix: | Juski: you mean the freq. table setting in mythtv-setup? |
[18:45:56] | netrix: | right ones i should have said. |

[18:46:02] | Juski: | netrix: prolly the wrong freq. standard, or maybe you're missing a v4l module |
[18:46:14] | Juski: | test it with cat & ivtvtune or whatever |
[18:46:25] | netrix: | okay. let me play with that. thanks. |
[18:47:06] | jeffmeden: | has anyone here dealt with a weak cable tv input and found a certain card to solve it? |
[18:47:15] | Juski: | I dunno what it is, but people have this idea they can just jump right into using gear in mythtv. I read one forum posting where a guy said his tuner didn't work in linux, but maybe if he installed mythtv.... |
[18:47:19] | netrix: | cat gives me the same result as mythtv, black and white with static-e audio. i guess that means it's not the freq. table? |
[18:47:43] | Juski: | netrix: not necessarily. you've not tried the ivtv tuner app yet have you? |
[18:48:05] | netrix: | Juski: nope ... i don't see an ivtvtune in my utils dir ...? |
[18:48:08] | Juski: | I went to the trouble of testing the tuner despite knowing I'll never use it |
[18:48:27] | Juski: | netrix: go see ivtvdriver.org & see what they suggest for testing cards |
[18:49:14] | jeffmeden: | i want to buy a better card, maybe even an encoding card, i just dont want to waste money |
[18:49:19] | Juski: | ivtvtune.pl was pulled a while back & replaced with something better |
[18:49:46] | Juski: | jeffmeden: an amp could make all the difference. or you could just threaten to leave your cable provider over the shit quality of the feed & see what they do |

[18:50:08] | fryfrog: | netrix: did you remove one of the cards? |
[18:50:10] | netrix: | i like this tip from ivtvdriver.org: Shutdown your machine and wait at least 30 seconds. The reason for this is that registers take a long time to clear. This is especially important when changing driver versions. |
[18:50:21] | netrix: | fryfrog: yeah, tried both cards on their own. same thing. |
[18:50:28] | Juski: | could be your cable is split too many times, jeffmeden |
[18:50:29] | fryfrog: | and it worked before? |
[18:50:46] | fryfrog: | man, my cable is split so many times it hurts |
[18:50:51] | netrix: | fryfrog: yep.... tho i did upgrade to 0.4.7 from 0.4.6 |
[18:51:07] | fryfrog: | at the house hookup, it goes into an amp and then to 3 rooms |
[18:51:10] | jeffmeden: | mines split like mad |
[18:51:11] | Juski: | netrix: new low voltage logic can sometimes retain settings.. you have to wait for the cards' capacitors to discharge.. that's one theory |
[18:51:21] | jeffmeden: | 5 TVs in the house plus a cable modem |
[18:51:32] | fryfrog: | in pc room, it splits 3 ways (cable modem, 2x air2pc cards), in tv room it splits 2 ways (2x hddvr) |
[18:51:35] | Juski: | jeffmeden: there ya go then. if you've not got a distribution amp, get one |
[18:51:36] | netrix: | Juksi: I wonder if it should turn off the machine for a good while and try again since I did upgrade the driver. |
[18:51:43] | fryfrog: | and in the bedroom, one tv |
[18:52:02] | fryfrog: | netrix: or you could try *downgrading* the driver :/ |
[18:52:13] | fryfrog: | netrix: actually, i'd try very hard to test via the svideo / rca port |
[18:52:14] | Dagmar: | I like how they're assuming that it's safe to leave registers that are actually important enough to affect something, untouched. |
[18:52:25] | fryfrog: | netrix: you could even hook up a windows pc with tv out on the video card |
[18:52:29] | Dagmar: | Am I the only one that thinks that warning is f**king stupid? |
[18:52:31] | fryfrog: | netrix: or a vcr or dvd player? |
[18:52:47] | Juski: | Dagmar: I think it's mostly conjecture and / or coincidence the register thing came about |
[18:53:24] | Juski: | the reason I pointed out is completely just a theory trying to explain why it might have come about – not very likely |
[18:53:39] | Dagmar: | Juski: I would think that if something doesn't work because it's not being completely initialized, that this would be called a bug, not a warning about hardware limitations. |
[18:54:22] | Juski: | though we've recently seen issues with a HDD manufacturer.. and it turned out that said manufacturer did tests, and repeatedly powering up a HDD, without anything on the bus (i.e. just the PSU) it sometimes gets its knickers in a twist & won't work |
[18:54:22] | netrix: | fryfrog: tried that already. no dice. |
[18:54:41] | fryfrog: | netrix: that is lame :/ |
[18:55:07] | fryfrog: | netrix: i guess its time to shut down for 60 seconds :p |
[18:55:17] | fryfrog: | though i honestly never had to do that when I had 4x PVR250s |
[18:55:48] | netrix: | fryfrog: tell me about it. i even replaced the cable runs with two new cables and tested with a regular tv plugging into the the cable amp and without the cable amp just to be sure my cable was okay. |
[18:55:49] | Juski: | maybe there's a design fault on the cards.. like they don't have PSU voltage supervisor chips taking care of the watchdog stuff |
[18:56:05] | Dagmar: | Juski: That sounds like Maxtor to a T. |
[18:56:16] | Juski: | easy way to save cash, that, based on the assumption of "oh don't worry there's a watchdog on the processor" |
[18:56:26] | Juski: | Dagmar: well it aint maxtor |
[18:56:35] | Dagmar: | I'm actually suprised |
[18:56:59] | Juski: | since the channel is logged I'm not gonna say |
[18:57:03] | netrix: | okay from the ivtv faq, it talks about "may need to reset the card configuration in mythtv-setup". i cleared out all the capture cards and re-added them. is ther another way? |
[18:57:18] | Juski: | netrix: nope.. that's about all there is to do |
[18:57:24] | Dagmar: | Well, stuff happens, and then you buy the hardware anyway as a cheaper refurb when they fix it. ;) |
[18:57:38] | Dagmar: | I got no problem with refurbbed Maxtor drives. :) |
[18:57:44] | Juski: | Dagmar: yup.. though something of this magnitude is gonna be a while before it's fixed |
[18:58:03] | Dagmar: | Well, honestly, it sounds like a rather small problem |
[18:58:20] | Dagmar: | How often does a machine lose power to the bus for less than thirty seconds anyway |
[18:58:28] | Juski: | yeah.. SOUNDS small.. like a CPLD change or a small mod... but to roll it out into production... |
[18:58:29] | Dagmar: | This is why we buy UPSes. |
[18:58:40] | Juski: | Dagmar: try telling our customers that |
[18:58:47] | jeffmeden: | is a 'drop amp' the same as a regular amp for CATV? |
[18:59:01] | netrix: | gonna shutdown the machine and drink a beer, then power it back on. |
[18:59:07] | Juski: | we tell them in the sales manuals, the distributors tell em.. the installers tell em.. they try to save money... |
[18:59:08] | ** netrix crosses his fingers. ** | |
[18:59:19] | Dagmar: | Juski: Really, I would. I'd still feel like the problem needed fixing, but people _should_ have UPSes. Even the cheap ones extend hardware life |
[18:59:33] | Dagmar: | I tell people they should spend the $35 on a UPs |
[18:59:46] | Dagmar: | In Nashville, it's a pretty easy sell. |
[18:59:50] | Juski: | Dagmar: trouble is, sometimes the drives don't come up the very first time you power em on |
[18:59:53] | jeffmeden: | cheap UPSs make my stomach churn |
[19:00:05] | jeffmeden: | anyone with a CATV amp that wants to trade for a good UPS msg me |

[19:00:49] | Dagmar: | Juski: Okay, that "not powering up on the first go" should definitely not happen |
[19:01:12] | netrix: | power is brtual where i am, my cheap apc's saved my ass many times this summer with all the brownouts in my area. |
[19:01:12] | jeffmeden: | my mythtv box has 90 minutes of UPS runtime |
[19:01:24] | Juski: | Dagmar: maybe only one in 10,000 power-ups, but it's not acceptable when you're shipping thousands of units a month |
[19:01:29] | jeffmeden: | my PC has 100 min |
[19:01:33] | Dagmar: | Yeah, I've got some more elaborate UPSes for my firewalls and storage box, but my desktops only need a cheap-ass $35 UPS because all your really need is about 5–8 minutes warning |
[19:01:52] | Juski: | we get through a lot of HDDs. pallet loads a week |
[19:02:00] | Dagmar: | Whew |
[19:02:21] | Dagmar: | Most of the time when the power goes out here, if it's out for more than a minute, it's going to be gone an hour or more |
[19:02:40] | Juski: | arghhh why are all OSS apps' zoom functions so retarded? |
[19:02:44] | Dagmar: | This is one of the things keeping track of power failures over the last 10 years has shown me |
[19:02:52] | Juski: | use the scrollwheel you bastards! |

[19:04:02] | Juski: | does GTK not do scrollwheels? |
[19:04:09] | Dagmar: | GTK does do scrollwheels |
[19:04:20] | Dagmar: | It does 'em fine, if you tell X about 'em. |
[19:04:21] | Juski: | so they have no excuse then |
[19:04:31] | Dagmar: | They're just buttons 5 & 6 as far as X is concerned tho. |
[19:04:52] | Dagmar: | I'm still trying to figure out why the gnome volume app goes down faster than it goes up |
[19:05:05] | Dagmar: | er not in theory tho |
[19:05:25] | Dagmar: | I think they probably did it because accidental quiet is a lot better then your neighbors suddenly hearing your porno |
[19:05:26] | jeffmeden: | can someone look at an auction and tell me if its for the right CATV amp? |
[19:06:23] | Dagmar: | I'm trying to figure out where it's going on in the code so I can fix it to be even both ways. I can't really screw up that way with the spinwheel on my keyboard |

[21:08:02] | SkaFreak: | any ideas what the problem might be |
[21:08:16] | jeffmeden: | does the backend start with no errors |
[21:08:41] | jeffmeden: | localhost can be a fickle mistress |
[21:09:00] | jeffmeden: | i had trouble with that too |
[21:09:08] | SkaFreak: | yeah, no errors |
[21:10:14] | jeffmeden: | and you can see in a netstat that its listening on the right ports |
[21:10:38] | SkaFreak: | what ports does it need again? |
[21:11:23] | jeffmeden: | 6542 and 6544 right |
[21:11:26] | jeffmeden: | erm |
[21:11:36] | jeffmeden: | just 6543 |
[21:11:42] | jeffmeden: | i think |
[21:11:55] | stuarta: | 6544 |
[21:12:08] | jeffmeden: | huh |
[21:12:12] | SkaFreak: | do I just run netstat to do that? I don't know much about networking |
[21:12:22] | jeffmeden: | tcp 0 0 localhost.localdomain:6543 localhost.localdomain:43135 ESTABLISHED |
[21:12:29] | jeffmeden: | theres my back/front connection |
[21:12:43] | stuarta: | and 6543 |
[21:12:50] | jeffmeden: | netstat -a to show all and look at the first block of output |
[21:13:07] | SkaFreak: | no |
[21:13:09] | jeffmeden: | i see 6544 open but whats it for? |
[21:13:47] | xris: | jeffmeden: that's the backend/frontend connection |
[21:13:54] | xris: | 6543 is the web interface |
[21:14:06] | xris: | for status and upnp |
[21:14:18] | SkaFreak: | first block of netstat -a only has mysql and irc |

[21:32:36] | jeffmeden: | you could .lircrc -> /home/mythtv/.mythtv/lircrc and not care either way |
[21:32:38] | aboutblank: | can't i just symlink the mapping? |
[21:34:04] | kormoc: | jeffmeden, sure, but that doesn't change the fact that likely you should tell people that when talking about myth's implimentation |

[22:59:22] | nasa: | Could not find SA3250HD on the 1394 bus. |
[22:59:37] | nasa: | what did you use to change channels? |
[22:59:50] | regicide666: | mythtv did it |
[23:00:13] | nasa: | I tried the sa3250hd_ch script — the previous post is what it tells me.... |
[23:00:28] | regicide666: | I think I have it set as a sa3250hd in mythtv |
[23:00:45] | nasa: | how did you change channels with mythtv if you never got livetv to work? |
[23:01:16] | regicide666: | well it changes channel and I can tell because I have it hooked up with svideo to a differn't tuner |
[23:01:40] | fuffalo: | i'm setting up knoppmyth, and it's semi working, i have a problem tho, i must have put in the wrong wireless information when it asked about my network, how do i get back into this screen to fix my networking |

[23:13:53] | nasa: | regicide666 and I are trying to get our firewire setups to work |

[23:14:28] | nasa: | the errors I see are: ringbuf ....mpg Invalid file (fd -1) when opening ...mpg |
[23:14:47] | metalac: | did you use test-mpeg ? |
[23:15:02] | ** nasa lets regicide666 answer that ** | |
[23:15:13] | regicide666: | I have gotten test-mpeg to work but not always make a working mpeg2 |
[23:15:33] | regicide666: | mplayer says it can't find the stream |
[23:15:48] | metalac: | well the way to check is to see if filesize is 0 |
[23:16:02] | metalac: | if filesize is non 0 then you're ok |
[23:16:04] | regicide666: | yea I know |
[23:16:07] | regicide666: | and it isn't |
[23:16:30] | metalac: | then you should be ok |
[23:16:45] | metalac: | if mplayer is not opening it might be a codec issue with mplayer |
[23:17:14] | regicide666: | my firwire box is also a dvr and if I time test-mpeg with starting to play a recorded file I get the working mpg file |
[23:17:23] | regicide666: | but if not it does not work |
[23:17:32] | metalac: | hmmm |
[23:17:36] | metalac: | no clue |
