[00:00:00] cesman: what was suggested will work
[00:00:35] sn9: ok, thanx for the info
[00:01:06] |Torg|: and work better then what you would call streaming
[00:01:12] sn9: does a frontend need to be running during recording?
[00:01:18] |Torg|: nope
[00:01:20] cesman: no
[00:01:21] sn9: good
[00:01:29] hardnova: what free to air digital cards are most compatible with ivtv ?
[00:01:46] |Torg|: all of them?
[00:01:59] cesman: free to air as in DVB?
[00:02:03] |Torg|: FTA has nothing to do with the card other then its the source
[00:02:19] |Torg|: it generally means the signal isnt encrypted
[00:03:09] hardnova: cesman i dont know i guess its broadcased digital
[00:03:25] |Torg|: what signal do you want to capture?
[00:03:49] kormoc: hardnova, uhh, no ivtv cards are DVB, if that's what you mean
[00:04:02] hardnova: HVR1100MCE ?
[00:04:10] kormoc: not supported
[00:04:35] hardnova: HVR1300MCE ?
[00:04:39] kormoc: not supported
[00:04:42] cesman: hardnova: http://ivtvdriver.org/index.php/FAQ#What_cards_are_supported.3F
[00:04:54] kormoc: cesman, I was getting to that link :P
[00:05:04] cesman: :)
[00:05:48] ** cesman ponders how many people read the last part of the channel's topic ;) **
[00:06:04] ** |Torg| wonders how many people bother to read anything **
[00:06:13] cesman: lol
[00:06:35] kormoc: |Torg|, around one percent I'd say
[00:06:53] |Torg|: were it not for the fact irc is text based id swaer 90% of the users are illiterate
[00:07:07] cesman: LOL
[00:07:28] kormoc: |Torg|, given irc is text based, I swear 90% of the users are illiterate :P
[00:07:34] cesman: that would make a great MOD
[00:07:59] |Torg|: I also wonder how many come her first, ignore google, ignore the wiki, ignore the readme, ignore the docs, and ask their question
[00:08:48] |Torg|: and I sort of wonder how they found out about irc, and this channel without going though some sort of docs

[00:26:23] Tuxguy: Can anyone recommend an ir reciever that works with linux?
[00:27:03] heanol: not ati remote wonder
[00:27:11] onewheelskyward: The IR receiver on my PVR-350 works.
[00:27:58] Tuxguy: My card doesnt come with one, i was thinking of purchasing one
[00:28:11] |Torg|: takes about $5 worth of parts to make one
[00:29:09] |Torg|: if yuor lazy, they go for $12.50
[00:29:15] Tuxguy: Oh, I don't have a serial port :(
[00:29:24] Tuxguy: Can I use USB?
[00:30:14] Tuxguy: ty
[00:30:21] hardnova: where is the circuit diagram ?
[00:31:10] |Torg|: do you know how to use google?
[00:31:45] |Torg|: http://www.ocinside.de/assets/usb_infrarot_em . . . iver_big.gif
[00:31:47] onewheelskyward: Tuxguy: I don't have a serial port either, but I had a header on my motherboard. I'm making use of that.
[00:31:59] Tuxguy: o/
[00:32:14] hardnova: nice !
[00:34:49] heanol: hrm
[00:35:30] heanol: i seem to have lirc set up correctly, i can get the correct keys when running mode2, etc
[00:35:34] heanol: and i have a lircrc..
[00:35:34] heanol: hm
[00:36:10] heanol: that also maps correctly
[00:36:19] heanol: but nothing happens in mythtv when i press buttons on it
[00:36:22] heanol: anyone have any idea why
[00:36:22] heanol: ?
[00:36:23] |Torg|: irw tells you what?
[00:37:26] heanol: what is irw?
[00:37:34] heanol: it just says connection denied
[00:37:44] |Torg|: and your thinking lirc is working?
[00:37:56] |Torg|: did you run lircd?
[00:38:00] heanol: i am running lircd yes
[00:38:07] |Torg|: is it running?
[00:38:49] heanol: haha, what the.. it isnt, i swear it was running 5 minutes ago! :)
[00:40:53] Tuxguy: heanol, You have ati wonder?
[00:41:39] ** cesman has a remote wonder **
[00:41:43] cesman: works great!
[00:42:03] Tuxguy: They said that there is a free one, but they want you to pay shipping
[00:43:05] |Torg|: a free what?
[00:47:20] DreadPir1teBob: cesman: where did you get your lirc config file?
[00:47:35] DreadPir1teBob: I haven't set that up yet for my ATI Remote Wonder
[00:47:44] |Torg|: irrecord
[00:48:25] cesman: DreadPir1teBob: I use the kernel module
[00:48:33] cesman: I like it better
[00:48:42] |Torg|: he is asking for the config file
[00:49:47] DreadPir1teBob: cesman: yes, I have the kernel module, but it still goes through lircd doesn't it?
[00:50:17] cesman: no, it doesn't
[00:50:32] Tuxguy: |Torg|, ATI TV Wonder comes with an offer for a free remote
[00:51:24] DreadPir1teBob: cesman: ok, but without any configuration, all I get is mouse cursor movement, numbers, arrows and a few other key presses. Doesn't work well for controlling Myth
[00:51:32] cesman: DreadPir1teBob: I'm sure you'll get hits if you google ati remote lircd.conf
[00:51:39] cesman: DreadPir1teBob: works great here
[00:52:11] cesman: my guess is that the default module isn't configured for MythTV
[00:52:33] cesman: so, you have to compile the module w/ your options

[00:55:22] CyfrMonk (CyfrMonk!n=kvirc@adsl-68-249-55-110.dsl.ipltin.ameritech.net) has joined #mythtv-users
[00:55:29] bsjeep (bsjeep!n=bcsmith@54-129.viasat.com) has joined #mythtv-users
[00:55:40] cesman: what is that?
[00:56:01] DreadPir1teBob: Remote Wonder Plus or the Remote Wonder?
[00:56:18] DreadPir1teBob: I have the one depicted here: http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/ATI_Remote_Wonder
[00:56:18] cesman: RW
[00:56:44] DreadPir1teBob: Ok
[00:56:44] ** cesman thought it was RW 2 not RWP... **
[00:56:46] CyfrMonk: got a new mythtv setup – can watch tv fine, but when I record the recording never show up under 'watch recordings' on the backend/frontend – but they do on another frontend?
[00:57:39] cesman: is the IP of the backend in both places in mythtv-setup?
[00:57:59] CyfrMonk: Yes
[00:58:28] CyfrMonk: both systems are ubunut 6.10 and both systems use same user info to access mysql
[00:58:48] CyfrMonk: new to mythtv, but I've been a programmer on linux for 10+ years – and I'm confused
[00:59:46] cesman: CyfrMonk: cannot say I've see that issue
[00:59:54] cesman: that would have been my first guess
[01:00:03] cesman: I'd say check your backend log
[01:00:06] cesman: and frontend as well
[01:00:48] CyfrMonk: intermittentently I see the backend segfault – maybe 5 times since I started this project two weeks ago
[01:01:06] CyfrMonk: fortunately, I got through the game sunday night without a hitch
[01:01:20] cesman: :)
[01:01:32] cesman: too bad we cannot say that for the Bears...
[01:02:30] CyfrMonk: and on the way home from work (took me 4 hours) I pass a buss of bears fans stranded
[01:02:31] cesman: no parade?
[01:02:55] CyfrMonk: and the BEARS fans where having a tailgate party with colts fans
[01:02:56] |Torg|: CyfrMonk run mythfrontend in a console window with -v all or -v all, nodatabse it will tel you why one works and other does not
[01:02:59] CyfrMonk: not making it up!
[01:03:07] cesman: while I not a sports fan, as I lived in Chicago it would have been nice t oseem them win
[01:03:09] |Torg|: I woudl guess your settings are incorrect in teh database
[01:03:21] |Torg|: they are set up hostname, so you should have two sets
[01:04:11] |Torg|: if it segfaults unlimit the box and get a coredump
[01:04:23] |Torg|: then run the coredump though the debugger and get a backtrace
[01:04:37] |Torg|: it can help you locate the cause of the issue and form there you can determine what is wrong
[01:04:51] heanol: this is really weird
[01:04:57] heanol: i have lircd and everything set up
[01:05:05] |Torg|: segfaults can also be hardwre realted, so check the memory with a memer stress program
[01:05:08] heanol: but when i start mythtv i see this in the syslog: Feb 7 02:04:34 prosser lircd-0.8.0[4625]: couldn't claim USB interface: Device or resource busy
[01:05:13] heanol: and lircd then dies
[01:05:17] heanol: any ideas?
[01:06:00] |Torg|: somethjing else is using it
[01:06:08] hardnova: just of interest again what distro's are people using for myth ?
[01:06:18] waldo: hardnova: ubuntu 6.10
[01:06:22] |Torg|: debian
[01:07:51] cesman: KnoppMyth
[01:08:40] CyfrMonk: |Torg|: okay – think i found it – the frontend sitting on the backend had 'localhost' in the setup screen for the db ... test – thanks guys
[01:09:31] |Torg|: yes localhost and 127.0.01 is the bane of most new users to myth
[01:10:08] |Torg|: myth connects to the database via a file called mysql.txt (usuauly in ~/.mythtv/). From there it connects and loads its settings via the settings table
[01:10:24] |Torg|: the "default" for mysql.txt is set to localhost
[01:10:50] |Torg|: also you need to make your mysql talk on the network and give user rights to remote systems in mysql

[01:18:23] DreadPir1teBob: but removing the mythtv user isn't necessary.
[01:18:38] DreadPir1teBob: You do have to remove the mysql database though.
[01:19:23] |Torg|: he asked how to remove the user, not how to do a complete uninstall
[01:19:55] |Torg|: and removing the user is necessary, unless you want orphaned files on your system
[01:20:27] DreadPir1teBob: He's doing a complete reinstall, not an uninstall.
[01:20:48] DreadPir1teBob: removing the user will not prevent orphaned files
[01:20:57] |Torg|: <Bakefy> How can I remove my mythtv user? I want to try and install mythtv from the begining.
[01:21:05] |Torg|: note the ? and what the question was

[01:23:04] sn9: you don't need region-free in the us
[01:23:09] hardnova: lol

[01:38:45] fooker: Does anyone know, does myth do some sort of checking for a cutlist before issuing the transcode command? I've set it up so that mythcommflag runs the --gencutlist option as well, and the cutlist is created, but mythtranscode doesn't use it when run automatically, but does use it if it's run later on from the recordings menu

[02:39:30] fooker: Someone needs to implement batch processing in mythtv. Or just "Run userjob X on all recordings"
[02:43:08] Captain_Murdoch: fooker: you can tag all recordings and then run a user job on them from the watch recordings screen.
[02:44:20] Captain_Murdoch: go to "All Programs", make sure you're focused on the left-hand side of the screen, and hit "/" to tag all recordings under "All Programs". then hit MENU to bring up the menu, go to Playlist Options, then you'll see how to run jobs on the 'playlist' you created by tagging the recordings.

[02:50:21] Ediehow: i am using ALSA:default for output
[02:51:09] Ediehow: drat
[02:51:12] Ediehow: running mythtv for console
[02:51:19] Ediehow: i get no output changing the volume

[02:54:28] Ediehow: yup, but i can't give access as it's behind a ton of firewalls
[02:54:30] Milosch: um
[02:54:36] Ediehow: but i can implement any advice myself;)
[02:54:39] kashikoi: i mean you ssh into it from a second box
[02:54:48] Ediehow: yes, but i'm on it now
[02:54:50] kashikoi: then start the frontend in the ssh window
[02:54:58] kashikoi: stdout goes to the 2nd pc
[02:55:06] kashikoi: graphics take over the frontend moniter
[02:55:07] Ediehow: kashikoi: i just typed mythtv from console
[02:55:12] Ediehow: i get output
[02:55:18] Ediehow: but it gives no extra output when i attempt to change volume
[02:55:28] kashikoi: add -v all
[02:55:34] Ediehow: ok
[02:55:35] kashikoi: and check that it isnt muted
[02:55:48] kashikoi: alsamixer is a text mode volume control for alsa
[02:55:48] Ediehow: i get sound, i just can't control it IN mythtv
[02:55:57] kashikoi: ahh
[02:56:01] kashikoi: whats the mixer set to>
[02:56:16] Ediehow: i think it may be related to 2.6.19 alsa drivers changing PCM to "Wave"
[02:56:29] kashikoi: lol
[02:56:30] Milosch: Ediehow: wow, still with that one?
[02:56:36] Ediehow: Milosch: i have no idea what to do
[02:56:40] kashikoi: you can set mythtv to just addjust the volume internaly
[02:56:46] kashikoi: before it sends the audio to alsa
[02:56:46] Ediehow: i tried:(
[02:57:05] Milosch: Ediehow: are you able to run alsamixer?
[02:57:09] Ediehow: yes
[02:57:16] kashikoi: i had too much trouble setting the 2nd alsa card for use but i found out /dev/dsp1 was the 2nd card
[02:57:23] kashikoi: so i went thru oss emulation
[02:57:45] Milosch: Ediehow: and do you have only /dev/mixer or do you have others
[02:58:17] Ediehow: http://pastebin.ca/343531
[02:58:23] Ediehow: result of running amixer
[03:00:00] Milosch: anyway, you have PCM and Wave, but i was asking if you only had the one /dev/mixer
[03:00:14] Ediehow: midi mixer mixer1 mixer2
[03:00:20] Ediehow: Milosch: no, look again, I have PCM blah
[03:00:22] Ediehow: not just PCM
[03:00:48] Milosch: line 35
[03:00:55] Milosch: but that's probably not the issue
[03:01:04] Milosch: imo
[03:02:41] Milosch: have you looked at the settings? – select * from settings where value like '%mixer%';
[03:02:45] Ediehow: i see what you mean, milosch
[03:02:46] Ediehow: but it
[03:02:54] Ediehow: s not on alsamixer
[03:02:54] Ediehow: about PCM
[03:03:03] ServerSage: If I manually update the capturecard table, will it break any other tables?

[03:03:53] Ediehow: gnome alsa mixer
[03:04:17] ServerSage: Milosch: I have 3 cards listed, I want to delete 2 of them because the systems they refer to are no longer running.
[03:04:28] Milosch: Ediehow: what about alsamixer -D /dev/mixer1 etc...
[03:04:49] Milosch: Ediehow: also check the sql, maybe you have multiple entries for one host for some reason
[03:05:17] kashikoi: Milosch -D is for a alsa device name and /dev/mixer1 is an oss name
[03:05:19] Milosch: ServerSage: probably best to do that in mythv-setup

[03:05:53] kashikoi: there not compatible
[03:05:55] Ediehow: i know -c 1, 2, 3 work
[03:06:00] Ediehow: yeah, it's OSS
[03:06:00] Milosch: ok, then -c 1
[03:06:10] Ediehow: -c 1 is the wrong soundcard
[03:06:12] Ediehow: -c 0 is it
[03:06:24] Ediehow: -c 1 is internal soundcard
[03:06:28] Milosch: whatever, can you check the sql
[03:06:39] Ediehow: what do i look for, sir?
[03:06:56] ServerSage: Milosch: The problem is, they are not listed in mythtv-setup.
[03:07:09] ServerSage: Milosch: Do I have to just delete all capture cards?
[03:07:26] Milosch: you might have to stare at it a bit, but note the hostname and MixerDevice and MixerControl
[03:07:48] Milosch: ServerSage: sadly, weird things can happen otherwise
[03:08:25] ServerSage: Milosch: Alrighty. Nothing is every easy.  :)
[03:08:30] Milosch: ServerSage: also, the entries might be there but have no text?
[03:08:46] Milosch: i wonder if in setup you can select lines below what DOES show up
[03:08:51] Milosch: and try to delete
[03:09:01] ServerSage: Milosch: Nope, they really aren't there. Nothing below my real card.
[03:09:13] ServerSage: Milosch: Good thinking though.
[03:09:14] Milosch: ok, maybe input mappings then
[03:09:55] Milosch: er, connections
[03:11:06] Ediehow: ok, this is bizarre
[03:11:25] Milosch: ?
[03:11:25] Ediehow: if i use gnome volume control and OSS mixer for my audigy, i only get PCM-2
[03:11:42] Ediehow: but changing PCM-2 there makes it go up and down
[03:12:24] Milosch: Ediehow: fwiw, when i have my mixer set to Master, Front is what is changed in myth
[03:12:32] Milosch: Ediehow: any results on that sql?
[03:12:59] Ediehow: this is nuts, i just told myth to use /dev/mixer and PCM-2 and changing volume in it does nothing
[03:13:00] Ediehow: in addition
[03:13:17] Ediehow: gnome volume properties for OSS mixer for the card, changing pcm-2 up and down changes the volume
[03:14:29] Ediehow: ok
[03:14:32] Ediehow: looking at mythconverg
[03:14:49] Ediehow: what am i looking for? what table?
[03:14:49] Milosch: anyway, i was thinking of aumix -d /dev/mixer1 ...
[03:15:12] Milosch: select * from settings where value like '%mixer%';
[03:15:28] Milosch: note the hostname and MixerDevice and MixerControl
[03:15:46] Milosch: just curious to verify that there aren't any duplicate entries per host
[03:15:50] Milosch: shouldn't happen, right?
[03:16:02] Ediehow: http://pastebin.ca/343552
[03:17:01] Milosch: can you not set MixerControl to Master?
[03:17:16] Ediehow: i can, but that doesn't work either
[03:17:16] Ediehow: :(
[03:17:57] Milosch: is localhost.localdomain used?
[03:18:16] Ediehow: i am not usre, i think that's what it was before i set it up to allow remote frontend
[03:18:42] Milosch: ok, those are per each host running the frontend
[03:18:43] Ediehow: ok, i am setting it to mixer controls:master and mixer device: /dev/mixer
[03:19:05] Milosch: Master
[03:19:06] Ediehow: changing volume on livetv does nothing:(
[03:19:35] Milosch: not sure if case matters but unless you know for sure...
[03:19:48] Ediehow: Milosch: it's Master
[03:19:55] Ediehow: i just hit left till it rotated
[03:20:14] Milosch: ok, from the RightPlace(tm) to change settings? ;)
[03:20:42] Milosch: and is your speaker setup actually connected to the correct jack?
[03:20:45] Ediehow: http://pastebin.ca/343557
[03:20:54] Ediehow: Milosch: yes, all other sound works
[03:21:04] Ediehow: if i use my gnome volume control, i can change the output that myth is playing at
[03:21:11] Milosch: i.e. not the rear speaker out or something
[03:21:12] Ediehow: i just can't change it THROUGH myth
[03:21:20] Ediehow: nor can i mute it
[03:21:53] Milosch: and you're using the keyboard?
[03:22:00] Ediehow: yup
[03:22:01] Ediehow: i have a STB
[03:22:12] Milosch: and do you see it changing via an OSD?
[03:22:27] Ediehow: super video input for video, and the other two jacks go to pvr150mce
[03:22:27] Ediehow: yes sir
[03:23:51] Milosch: there's one crazy setting for PVR-350 audio
[03:24:00] Ediehow: i mean, all of this used to work
[03:24:05] Ediehow: for a while i thought it was upgrade of myth rpms that happened
[03:24:10] Ediehow: then maybe 2.6.19's alsa
[03:24:13] Ediehow: but i have no idea:(
[03:24:29] Milosch: anyway, that setting could break the mixer for you, i would guess
[03:24:44] Ediehow: aumix -v 90
[03:24:46] Milosch: PVR350InternalAudioOnly ( in the settings table)
[03:24:48] Ediehow: that is changing the volume in mythtv
[03:25:08] Ediehow: aumix -v 50 -d /dev/mixer
[03:25:10] Ediehow: as well as that
[03:25:12] Milosch: PVR350InternalAudioOnly ( in the settings table)
[03:25:36] Ediehow: aumix -w 10 -d /dev/mixer
[03:25:38] Ediehow: but that does nothing
[03:25:40] Milosch: herro
[03:25:49] Ediehow: but
[03:25:53] Ediehow: aumix -W 10 -d /dev/mixer
[03:25:54] Ediehow: that does
[03:25:58] Milosch: trying to see where the problem could be, if you want help that is
[03:26:22] Ediehow: it's definitely PCM-2 that is the controlling variable
[03:26:40] Ediehow: you want me to change that setting?
[03:26:51] Ediehow: isn't there some script that will fix your myth table?
[03:26:54] Milosch: it's not changed if the volume is set to Master for live tv
[03:27:07] Milosch: Front or some other master out would be
[03:27:14] Ediehow: Milosch: how do you mean?
[03:27:22] Milosch: i wanted to see what the setting was currently
[03:27:53] Ediehow: PVR350InternalAudioOnly 0 home
[03:28:15] Ediehow: 0 for all 3 hosts
[03:28:24] Milosch: ok, i'll stop bothering you about that one
[03:28:37] Ediehow: so aumix -v ## changes it
[03:28:42] Ediehow: and aumix -W ## changes it
[03:28:46] Ediehow: (note the case, W is PCM 2
[03:28:47] Milosch: Master should change a master volume, for me it is Front
[03:29:47] Ediehow: so Master in mythtv is not "Master" literally?
[03:29:51] Milosch: do you have a script setup for changing volume, perhaps inadvertently?
[03:30:03] Ediehow: i have a channel change script
[03:30:16] Ediehow: where would such a script be?
[03:31:43] Ediehow: i don't get it
[03:31:51] Ediehow: aumix -W 20 -d /dev/mixer

[03:33:36] Ediehow: if i change myth volume to 0%
[03:33:38] Ediehow: and go to myth settings
[03:33:40] Ediehow: it has master at 0

[03:42:14] Milosch: i.e. rerun alsaconf

[04:28:25] j0lly: kormoc: well, dont have the Ps3 yet, the desicion of buing it was kindof depending on it being able to work as a mediacentre

[05:44:02] sanmarcos: I have Identifier "Television"
[05:44:02] sanmarcos: HorizSync 30–50
[05:44:02] sanmarcos: VertRefresh 60
[05:44:32] kormoc: you should look up what res the tv is
[05:44:42] kormoc: and google can tell you how to set dpi, as can the wiki
[05:44:56] sanmarcos: yes, I know how to set the dpi, its in the FAQ
[05:45:11] kormoc: so why ask?
[05:45:33] sanmarcos: I wanted to ask if I should force 100
[05:45:44] sanmarcos: I assume yes, but I want to be sure kormoc, I appreciate your help very much
[05:45:46] kormoc: it's up to your eyes
[05:45:55] kormoc: if it looks good, then sure, else, no need
[05:47:01] sanmarcos: I know the make and model
[05:47:06] sanmarcos: however, I cant find the resolution
[05:47:15] sanmarcos: whats a standard resolution, I know it supports NTSC and PAL
[05:47:21] sanmarcos: I have it as NTSC-M in the xorg configuration
[05:47:57] sanmarcos: whats best?
[05:48:08] kormoc: whatever looks best
[05:48:11] sanmarcos: the aspect ratio is the same as a comp monitor right (4:3)
[05:48:14] sanmarcos: I assume 800x600
[05:48:20] kormoc: it all depends on your videocard and tv and your eyes
[05:48:30] kormoc: NTSC is 4:3, aye
[05:48:37] sanmarcos: the video card is a geforce 6200
[05:48:53] sanmarcos: 800x600 should look better than 640x480
[05:49:02] sanmarcos: and I am sure it can handle 60hz
[05:49:11] kormoc: depends on the tv a bit too
[05:49:17] kormoc: 800x600 looks like crap on my tv
[05:49:38] sanmarcos: what tv do you have ?
[05:49:59] kormoc: some panasonic 22"

[06:14:20] onewheelskyward: ebay is pretty straightforward. Just make sure you know how much it'sgoing to cost you to ship it.
[06:15:06] defaultro: ah
[06:15:14] defaultro: i'll have to bring it then to USPS
[06:15:48] onewheelskyward: nah you can get the weight and get an estimate online, based on the weight and estimated linear inches.
[06:15:54] defaultro: i'm actually confuse. Sometimes, I see "But it now". When you see those signs, can someone still bid on it?

[06:38:37] kormoc: t0ny-p40, better talk to whoever made your package
[06:38:38] t0ny-p40: I only installed the frontend
[06:38:39] beernutz: i checked the xorg.conf file and it says 24 bit for both default and depth..
[06:38:54] kormoc: t0ny-p40, there is no only frontend install
[06:39:09] beernutz: it BEHAVES like it is in 8bit mode tho. at least it reminds me of that
[06:39:17] t0ny-p40: on ubuntu there is
[06:39:25] onewheelskyward: beernutz: Yeah, palette shifting was my first thought.
[06:39:29] beernutz: i also tried setting X to use 16bit color with no improvement
[06:39:31] kormoc: t0ny-p40, it's not supported by the devs, as it's considered broken

[06:45:19] kormoc: marc_, typically have to wait
[06:45:20] beernutz: not overclocked
[06:45:36] kormoc: beernutz, turbocache is the term for sharing system memory with the video card
[06:45:39] clever: how would i commflag something after it has been recorded
[06:45:40] beernutz: ohhhh
[06:45:47] beernutz: sorry.. my misunderstanding
[06:46:12] beernutz: i dont believe so, as it is an external card, not on board
[06:46:13] kormoc: marc_, any tv that accepts a DVI or HDMI plug
[06:46:26] kormoc: beernutz, doesn't matter, pci-e allows it to happen :P
[06:46:33] beernutz: interesting
[06:46:44] kormoc: beernutz, know the brand?

[06:47:59] kormoc: t0ny-p40, nope
[06:48:13] hads: composite != HD
[06:48:15] kormoc: marc_, I like samsung and sony personally
[06:48:16] beernutz: i wonder if i can tell if there is memory sharing going on
[06:48:18] clever: t0ny-p40: would it even be hi def after getting shoved thru a composite cable:P
[06:48:43] clever: hads: i was thinking the box could lower the quality to composite levels for that output
[06:48:46] t0ny-p40: No idea a friend has hidef and wants a dvr
[06:48:57] marc_: kormoc: my nvidia has a converter for s-video to the new composite replacement, I think it is called component. You still recommend DVI out though right?,
[06:49:15] t0ny-p40: oh component
[06:49:20] t0ny-p40: not composite
[06:49:21] kormoc: marc_, yes, component is still analog, DVI/HDMI is pure digital, will look like and act like a monitor
[06:49:25] t0ny-p40: me = tired
[06:49:35] marc_: ok kormoc, thanks, then I am going for HD.
[06:49:36] kormoc: t0ny-p40, if he wants to spend a few grand on hardware and write linux drivers, perhaps
[06:49:37] hads: We just got a little Panasonic 23" for the second room and it's a nice little unit
[06:49:49] marc_: does it look good?
[06:49:55] beernutz: and 1080P is absolutely amazing on DVI coming from my main workstation!
[06:52:11] kormoc: beernutz, some of the 7300 GS's are turbocache, some are not, so I would recommend trying nvidia's driver version 9629, which is the best one I've found with turbocache cards
[06:52:50] beernutz: ok.. do you know how to TELL if it is tc'd?
[06:53:04] kormoc: I think it might say something in dmesg
[06:53:26] kormoc: /proc/driver/nvidia/cards/0 might show sometihng
[06:53:45] t0ny-p40: kormoc, so its not possible at the moment to get hidef off of encrypted satellite?
[06:54:08] kormoc: t0ny-p40, not without a lot of time, effort, and skill, nope
[06:54:22] kormoc: beernutz, /proc/driver/nvidia/registry might have some info too
[06:55:18] beernutz: VideoMemoryTypeOverride: 1
[06:55:42] beernutz: that mean anything helpful?
[06:56:12] kormoc: might, might not. Mine have that and they're non TC cards
[06:56:33] beernutz: anything i can grep for besides turbo or cache?
[06:56:42] kormoc: not that I can remember
[06:56:45] clever: grep -i
[06:56:48] clever: might be Turbe

[07:17:09] marc_: can I watch a recording while it is being comflagged and have some of the flags?
[07:17:50] marc_: as in if 30% is done of connflagging and there is a commercial at 10% of the recording, if I try to play it back will it warn me that there is a commercial?
[07:18:04] hads: I don't think so
[07:18:41] onewheelskyward: yes
[07:18:45] onewheelskyward: I'm doing it right now.
[07:19:20] onewheelskyward: You have to configure your backend to run at least 2 jobs and check the 'flag while recording' box.
[07:19:38] clever: where do you do that?
[07:19:39] hads: I see. Cheers.
[07:19:53] clever: in mythtv-setup?
[07:20:01] onewheelskyward: uuh...I'm pretty sure it was in mythtv-setup but don't hold me to that.  :)
[07:20:05] marc_: onewheelskyward: why two jobs?
[07:20:09] clever: i'll look there
[07:20:10] onewheelskyward: It might have been in the frontend-setup.
[07:20:21] onewheelskyward: marc_: Because recording is a job, and mythcommflag is a separate job.
[07:21:24] hads: Is recording a job? My backend is only setup for one job and I thought it commflaged while recording.
[07:21:54] onewheelskyward: I'm not 100% sure about that, but I know my backend is setup for 4 jobs.
[07:22:17] kormoc: hads, recording is not a job, but there's a flag to only do jobs when not recording I believe
[07:22:24] marc_: ah ok, but I am done recording
[07:22:45] kormoc: onewheelskyward, that was to you too
[07:23:12] ** kormoc 's box is a 1 job box and commflags while recording just fine **
[07:23:23] onewheelskyward: Gotchya kormoc, thanks for the confirmation.
[07:25:16] hads: kormoc: Cheers

[08:16:15] justinh: morning
[08:16:43] justinh: I do not bloody believe this. just updated ivtv, tried grabbing a test stream & it turned out all shitty like the previous weeks' recordings from the card.
[08:16:51] justinh: I rebooted, and it's fine
[08:17:05] justinh: rebooting fixed it. wtf?!
[08:18:14] Milosch: they do say something about shutting down for 30 seconds to ensure clearing registers on the card
[08:18:19] justinh: bollocks
[08:18:36] hads: Right...
[08:18:36] justinh: didn't give me any problems on gentoo for well over 6 months
[08:18:51] Milosch: still, they do, and no i have not had major issues NOT doing it either
[08:19:23] kormoc: justinh, sometimes the card's firmware does get into a inconsistent state, and it's only loaded once per power cycle
[08:19:24] justinh: there aren't any capacitors on tuner cards of a large enough value to store charge for that long :)
[08:19:45] clever: kormoc: any way to force a post of the card
[08:19:47] justinh: so erm.. I should have a reboot crontab entry?
[08:19:47] Milosch: not necessarily required i guess
[08:19:51] clever: like post'ing the video board?
[08:19:56] kormoc: justinh, even tho they try to resend the firmware on the second and more ivtv loads, it just won't take
[08:19:59] kormoc: clever, nope
[08:20:00] amrit is now known as amrit|zzz
[08:20:13] Milosch: what am i doing up anyway
[08:20:18] kormoc: justinh, usually not, it's typically rare for it to happen, but it has from time to time
[08:20:27] justinh: it's very annoying when it happens
[08:20:45] justinh: can we pwease have some tuner card designs that don't suck then?
[08:20:55] kormoc: justinh, feel free to design some
[08:21:14] justinh: actually, knowing what the chipset manufacturers are like....
[08:21:59] t0ny-p40 (t0ny-p40!n=tony@67.60.43.42) has quit (Read error: 60 (Operation timed out))
[08:22:00] justinh: this is linux ffs. I thought the adage of "have you tried rebooting" was a windoze thing ;)
[08:22:05] Milosch: updating the windows driver would require/ask for a reboot, so I reckon the card is designed with this in mind ;)
[08:23:00] clever: my xp box wanted to reboot after installing ie7
[08:23:00] kormoc: justinh, heh, every once in awhile, hardware just sucks :P
[08:23:02] clever: which isnt a driver
[08:23:06] Milosch: certainly not with linux in mind ;)
[08:23:14] clever: and then after saying no for 5 hours i turn my back on it for an hour
[08:23:15] justinh: wah! I want my hardware woky 24/7
[08:23:20] clever: and it reboots itself without asking
[08:23:29] Milosch: clever: that's because it's smarter than you
[08:23:38] clever: it gave me 15mins to answer
[08:23:42] Milosch: the machine will decide what's best
[08:23:49] justinh: anyway I'm now (I think anyway) on ivtv 0.4.9
[08:23:50] kormoc: just wait for vista
[08:23:51] clever: and because i didnt answer in 15mins it rebooted
[08:24:00] clever: it was a main server in my system
[08:24:03] clever: it had to stay up
[08:24:06] justinh: if I remembered how to build ivtv right anyway...
[08:24:07] Milosch: justinh: the latest rc is working well for me
[08:24:30] justinh: they've changed the bloody dapper howto – now they have debs but the old instructions have gone!
[08:24:35] kormoc: clever, shouldn't do updates without a maintenance window then
[08:24:53] clever: i expect to be able to delay the reboot as long as posible
[08:25:04] clever: and i have no idea if the update wants a reboot till its too late
[08:25:06] justinh: yay it's 0.4.9
[08:25:07] Milosch: clever: take that crap off your server anyway, imo ;)
[08:25:10] justinh: woopee
[08:25:40] clever: finaly make on mythtv finished
[08:25:47] kormoc: clever, if you read the documentation on the update it does tell you if it requires an update or not
[08:25:54] kormoc: *reboot or not
[08:26:08] justinh: anyway it's put me in a slightly better mood than I was in last night. I'm a bit weird with this stuff – it just works brilliantly for months (tm) & I expect it to stay that way and become very pissed off when it doesn't
[08:26:15] clever: brb
[08:26:55] Milosch: hey, this software is basically turning a nice consumer grade toaster into another kind of toaster anyway
[08:26:56] ** justinh comments out the hack in the channel change script to fix the 'V' audio **
[08:26:59] kormoc: justinh, due to the nature of IVTV's firmware loading, if perchance the firmware on the drive becomes corrupt, it could cause issues like that
[08:27:28] kormoc: justinh, so if it happens again, might just want to renew the firmware and see if that fixes it or not
[08:28:11] justinh: you know me folks, I'm not one for whining that mythtv sucks or anything – it doesn't. not even close. just these little minor annoyances that have f.a. to do with mythtv that mythtv depends on ;)
[08:28:11] hads: justinh: It was more than likely the bug I told you about causing the tinny audio.
[08:28:29] justinh: hads: I worked around it with an ivtvctl command
[08:28:40] hads: Yeah, but it's not a reliable workaround.
[08:28:45] justinh: true
[08:28:47] clever: back
[08:28:56] justinh: or er.. I mean.. obviously
[08:29:21] justinh: so does the firmware actually change from time to time?
[08:29:35] justinh: I mean what they provide for people to download?
[08:30:02] kormoc: justinh, it's packed with the drivers from hapaugge
[08:30:25] justinh: yes I know that
[08:30:29] kormoc: and yeah, it contains bug fixes and codec improvements and what not
[08:30:35] justinh: riiight
[08:30:45] justinh: so I should likely update the firmware too then
[08:30:59] kormoc: typically there's versions that ivtv recommends as being non-buggy
[08:31:10] justinh: hm.
[08:31:20] justinh: pity they don't tag the firmware with revision numbers
[08:31:53] kormoc: dmesg outputs the firmware version on ivtv load
[08:32:09] justinh: really? heh I can't say I'd ever noticed
[08:32:57] kormoc: ivtv0: loaded v4l-cx2341x-enc.fw firmware (262144 bytes)
[08:33:03] kormoc: ivtv0: Encoder revision: 0x02050032
[08:33:10] kormoc: same for decoder versions as well
[08:33:37] t0ny-p40 (t0ny-p40!n=tony@67.60.43.42) has joined #mythtv-users
[08:34:54] Milosch: the latest rc version requires a newer file, or at least the larger one
[08:35:15] kormoc: I'm on 0.7.1
[08:35:54] justinh: according to diff, the files are the same, so no point copying the newly downloaded & untarred one into /lib/firmware
[08:36:06] kormoc: fair 'nuff
[08:36:07] clever: mythtv-setup wont load on my secondary frontend
[08:36:12] hads: I'm still running a patched 0.7.0, haven't got around to updating yet.
[08:36:31] justinh: they're binary files but diff would at least tell me they were different
[08:37:33] justinh: anyway i think in retrospect that my workaround for the 'V' audio was maybe the cause of the macroblocked, yucky video
[08:37:58] justinh: I hope the 'V' audio problem doesn't show up again with the updated ivtv :)
[08:38:21] justinh: all my workaround was, btw, was a register setting
[08:38:33] Milosch: ivtv-0.10.0rc1 was the version i was talking about btw
[08:38:54] hads: Milosch: Does that run with 2.6.20?
[08:38:56] justinh: when I had wonky audio during a test live tv session I tried it & it cured the bad audio
[08:39:12] Milosch: hads: ymmv, some people seem to be having trouble, i have not tried
[08:39:22] hads: justinh: Yes, there's a large thread about it at mythtvtalk
[08:39:41] justinh: hads: I'm well aware of the thread
[08:39:41] hads: Milosch: Yeah, I was just wondering. I'm still on 2.6.17
[08:39:53] clever: uname: extra operand `-'
[08:39:53] clever: Try `uname --help' for more information.
[08:39:59] clever: 2.6.15-27–386
[08:40:00] Milosch: this would be mainly for .18 and .19
[08:40:10] Milosch: .20 might work better in an rc2
[08:40:11] justinh: it wasn't until I read the ivtv changelog that I knew for sure the tinny audio problem had been nixed
[08:40:35] hads: justinh: I *told* you.
[08:40:37] clever: No error type from QSqlError? Strange...
[08:40:38] justinh: and for some reason I was reluctant to upgrade ivtv in the hope it'd fix it – hence the workaround
[08:40:44] clever: along with many other errors
[08:41:51] justinh: these cards just have a software-addressable reset line if they don't already – get em reinitialised properly
[08:42:04] justinh: s/just/should
[08:42:47] justinh: though leaving reset lines dangling in programmable logic is a pretty common thing – recently seen it on a well known HDD manufacturer's product

[09:47:34] clever: 3rd row has a starttime of 22:00:03
[09:47:38] clever: diff time zoen
[09:47:53] clever: the tz between front and backend dont match
[09:47:54] Captain_Murdoch: between frontend and backend?
[09:48:01] Captain_Murdoch: yeah,makes a difference. :)
[09:48:11] clever: the backend is mainly for other services in gmt-6
[09:48:18] clever: but the rest of the house is on gmt-4
[09:48:25] Captain_Murdoch: big house...
[09:48:30] clever: lol
[09:48:36] clever: i live in -4
[09:48:44] clever: i'll change this frontend to -6 for now
[09:49:36] Captain_Murdoch: just wrap it in a shell script to set TZ
[09:49:46] clever: wont the clock itself still be off?
[09:49:58] Captain_Murdoch: possibly, can't hurt to try
[09:50:11] stuarta: under unix the clock should *always* be GMT
[09:50:12] Captain_Murdoch: don't recall exactly, depends on how you're setup I guess.
[09:50:25] clever: echo $TZ returns nothing on the backend
[09:50:27] stuarta: just M$ frigged timezone handling up
[09:50:55] clever: so i have nothing to copy over
[09:51:33] clever: clocks match now:)

[10:30:10] justinh: probably, but ymmv
[10:32:18] stuarta: pat__: try asking about linux support in #linuxtv
[10:36:59] justinh: I'd look in the wiki & their mail list first though

[10:47:56] clever: same source
[10:48:50] justinh: I saw mythmusic segafult once when the playlist was empty. couldn't reproduce it so must've been 'one of those things' (tm)

[11:08:19] justinh: a gig of ram should be enough, hell
[11:32:45] justinh: I mean it should be enough if you're not planning to use blootube-wide at 1920x1080 anyway
[11:32:51] justinh: ;)
[11:33:32] rsdvd: :-) 4Gb is about right for blootube-wide
[11:54:16] justinh: oh I dunno. maybe 8GB
[11:54:39] qu0zl: that's for the lite version?
[11:54:44] justinh: actually with some tricks learnt from mepo-wide there might be a way to eke that down a bit
[11:54:57] justinh: no ironically the lite version needs 20GB
[11:55:02] qu0zl: heh
[11:55:30] justinh: anyway...
[11:55:31] qu0zl: one advantage of sdtv rez's, i never noticed any problems with blootube wide and half a gig of ram

[11:56:05] qu0zl: they're fuckwits alright, they even put different reviews for the same episode on different days of the week
[11:56:16] qu0zl: so i get both copies
[12:01:08] justinh: it's not like they were minor spoilers either
[12:01:17] justinh: pretty bloody major plot twists
[12:02:16] justinh: luckily it didn't detract from my enjoyment that much but it's beside the point innit
[12:11:01] qu0zl: :)
[12:11:15] qu0zl: i just don't look at them any more, they put bloody stupid things in them
[12:11:47] justinh: pity it wouldn't be easy to put a bayesian algorithm in there to spot spoilers like that
[12:12:43] justinh: they can be so contrary it's frustrating. half the time you're lucky to get a full line – the rest of the time you get a frickin essay
[12:16:56] justinh: anyone know how good (or not) MCE's EPG data is by comparison?
[12:17:34] Merlin83b: I avoid the episode summaries for anything I care about being spoiled.

[12:18:29] justinh: yeah Merlin83b it's made me think about writing a script to fix it – i.e. blot out the description of shows where I don't want it spoiled
[12:18:51] justinh: changing the theme won't do since mythweb would also need to be changed
[12:19:11] Merlin83b: I'm quite good at not looking where the description is, but I could see that, as an option per show, being a good change.
[12:19:29] justinh: there'd be a huge downside to that
[12:19:41] justinh: yetanothertickbox alert!
[12:20:12] justinh: mythtv can already have the living daylights configured out of it & I'm not sure yet more config options are a good thing
[12:20:59] Merlin83b: True.
[12:21:02] justinh: don't forget I've sat down & taken screenshots of most of the menu screens. I got bored at 160

[12:22:56] justinh: there've been new plugin additions since then too ;)
[12:23:02] Jonty: what syntax to I use to save a scan on astra-19.2E as channels.conf to import into mythtv?
[12:23:20] justinh: Jonty: AFAIK, just a plain output
[12:24:11] justinh: if there's a problem with scanning in mythtv-setup, report it & help get it fixed rather than work around it
[12:24:20] Jonty: hmm this is well confusing got channels on kaffeine but can't get any on mythtv
[12:24:42] Jonty: ok how do I report it and who to?
[12:24:55] justinh: well, does scanning in mythtv-setup work?
[12:25:23] ** stuarta lurks quietly in the corner **
[12:25:25] Jonty: no it doesn't thats why I wanted to make a channels.conf to import instead of scanning
[12:25:44] stuarta: Jonty: what version and what symptoms?
[12:26:03] Jonty: 0.20
[12:26:35] Jonty: just let me try scanning again and will give you the output

[13:45:19] mikasaari: I do have several different DVB-T machines with fully working EIT, but all DVB-C tests have had same EIT not-working problem

[13:46:17] stuarta: ooo, interesting.
[13:46:22] mikasaari: stuarta: I think they are doing some non standard, at least the networkid in dvt_multiplex is having NULL at SQL
[13:46:50] stuarta: yeah, that's a symptom...
[13:48:05] mikasaari: I fixed that one by hand in SQL and then Fully Scanned the channels. After that channels are "watchable" but EIT is not working. Would there be something which I could try dvbsnoop or something like that, to get the DVB-C to work, or am I doomed ?
[13:48:46] stuarta: no, it's just a process of 1) working out what they actually send
[13:48:55] stuarta: 2) how that relates to the standards

[13:57:55] justinh: if you can hear audio in livetv, then I'd suspect the backend & tuner hardware is ok
[13:58:46] Neeesat25: hmm I used fglrx
[13:59:11] justinh: anyway, if my memory serves me well, you have already made mythtv work before, so what did you do differently this time?
[13:59:31] Neeesat25: I have two systems running ok
[13:59:49] Neeesat25: This is the third one and I have used ATI this time instead of NVIDIA
[14:00:09] Neeesat25: I have install FGLRX drivers for it
[14:00:10] justinh: I'm tempted to say "bingo!"
[14:00:19] Neeesat25: yea but why
[14:00:46] Neeesat25: I have try to use just x11 not accelerated but still the same
[14:00:48] justinh: I just have this amazing prejudice against ATI hardware
[14:01:03] Neeesat25: Well me too but thats what I had
[14:03:34] justinh: get it sold on ebay & let some other sucker fall into the trap :)

[14:11:48] seth|laptop: ATI+Linux=p@in
[14:11:55] seth|laptop: I have a box full of them
[14:12:31] stuarta: the most recent free ATI (open src) drivers worked for me last time i tested them
[14:12:56] stuarta: tho i suspect without acceleration
[14:13:10] Neeesat25: well now it's working for me too but not so well as NVIDIA
[14:13:35] Neeesat25: Ah I do not use acceleration
[14:13:42] stuarta: me either
[14:14:09] justinh: oo our laser printer looks like it runs on something linuxy. can I use it as a frontend?
[14:15:01] stuarta: hah!
[14:17:31] Merlin83b: Only if it can print 24pps.
[14:21:11] quicksil1er: or if you promise you only want to watch programs which consist of a single still shot of a laser printer
[14:30:01] justinh: bah. livetv isn't worky. must be out of paper
[14:31:49] justinh: eek! there's a patch to allow the coreavc codec to be used in mythtv?!
[14:32:11] rsdvd: Sort of OT Question : does nayone have any decent backup scripts? I want to set something up to backup my MythMusic and phots etc ?
[14:32:27] GreyFoxx: justinh: Yup I saw something like that in there
[14:32:38] justinh: rsdvd: sadly not, though my DB backup thing is nifty
[14:33:09] GlemSom (GlemSom!n=GlemSom@50A2C120.flatrate.dk) has joined #mythtv-users
[14:33:13] stuarta: my backup strategy = dump db everytime i do testing, backup to external disk every now and again.
[14:33:18] rsdvd: justinh : I have just finished my db backup scripts – I should have asked about that to :-)
[14:33:44] GreyFoxx: I do nightly db backups, which are rsynced to a backup machine, but I also dump before any manually changes (or most of the time at least) :)
[14:33:47] janneg: but even dvb radio would be expensive. My toner catridge would probably do less than 200 solid black prints
[14:33:50] justinh: which reminds me...
[14:34:52] rsdvd: does noone backup their files then? I know backing up the mpgs would be silly – but photos/music etc ?
[14:35:12] janneg: justinh: coreavc is not of the kind of proprietary software I would want to use
[14:35:47] GreyFoxx: rsdvd: I rsync those to my backup machine as well
[14:35:58] GreyFoxx: my photos get synced to my colo box, plus my backup machine
[14:36:07] GreyFoxx: I'd be more upset about loosing those than anything else
[14:36:27] janneg: parallelizing the ffmpeg h264 decoder would be enough for me
[14:36:36] rsdvd: GreyFoxx : do you just rsync everything in the directory? – not some sort of incremental thing ?
[14:36:53] stuarta: rsync is incremental after it's first use
[14:36:58] GreyFoxx: rsdvd: rsync by it's nature is incremental
[14:37:20] rsdvd: ok!
[14:37:31] ** rsdvd needs to reas the rsync man pages **
[14:37:33] ** stuarta thinks rsync is cool **
[14:37:40] GreyFoxx: my sync to my colo box is just a script with rsync
[14:37:57] GreyFoxx: my backup machine uses rsync + BackupPC for managing it all from multiple machines.
[14:38:05] GreyFoxx: rsync is sweet
[14:38:08] stuarta: i really must get a colo, even if it's just a virtual appliance

[14:39:10] _Jaak_: Is there a way to start myth windowed? Something like mythfrontend -windowed ???
[14:39:20] GreyFoxx: I use that for data backups from windows machgines
[14:39:26] GreyFoxx: rsdvd: or you can use samba shares
[14:39:39] GreyFoxx: but if you want something you can quickly blip back on, acronis rocks... but it's not cheap

[14:48:20] stuarta: the coreavc guy was the one who asked me for my sample hd stream
[14:48:21] _Jaak_: how do i resize a windowed mythfrontend or set defealt size?
[14:48:35] stuarta: so he could implement it in coreavc and get paid for it.
[14:49:06] stuarta: so i told him the sample had been passed to the ffmpeg dev (which i know only the devs have access too :)

[15:23:38] justinh: you might have more luck capturing the output of the box with a pvr card
[15:24:32] justinh: the dbox2 network port is only 10mbit & it struggles to stream over TCP
[15:25:27] justinh: last thing I heard about the maintainer of the dbox2 code was that he was going to try & get a UDP stream recorder to work, then he just vanished
[15:29:17] decay: livetv works fine with vlc directly playing the stream... but thats not as cool as mythtv. so its not just the 10 mbit problem.
[15:30:22] decay: whats the meaning of PoS?

[15:43:59] justinh: a tuxbox I had was great until you tried to do anything over the network. then it would poo its pants, big style
[15:44:42] Merlin83b: I'll test it at somepoint then. gbee seemed to be implying it would be better.
[15:46:37] stuarta: theoretically it could be.. InnoDB perf is supposed to be better.
[15:46:45] Merlin83b: I'll give it a go and find out :)
[15:47:16] stuarta: must say though, that adding all those indexs helped a *lot*
[15:48:39] Merlin83b: When were they added?
[15:48:49] stuarta: in the last week
[15:48:57] Merlin83b: I'm ln 12398
[15:49:03] Merlin83b: Ah, then an update may be due.
[15:49:26] stuarta: put it this way. i rebuilt the frontend against the latest on mon
[15:49:41] stuarta: it did the DB update while the BE was running (ooops!)
[15:49:59] stuarta: but there after, the seeking and lockup issues i'd been seeing vanished
[15:50:06] stuarta: and it was much faster...
[15:52:41] Merlin83b: Are you using MyISAM or InnoDB?

[16:01:25] Merlin83b: The MySQL clustering engine is quite nice.
[16:01:25] stuarta: no it's an ALTER iirc
[16:01:38] justinh: maybe it's not wise to even talk about how to do it here ;)
[16:01:47] stuarta: ever tried importing a dump of mythconverg into it????

[16:03:01] stuarta: Merlin83b: you use NDB in production?
[16:03:38] Merlin83b: Nah, just had a play with it on work stuff. Nothing in production yet.
[16:04:18] stuarta: i currently wouldn't like to use it in production.
[16:04:24] stuarta: not quite ready is my feeling
[16:04:53] Merlin83b: Seemed to go okay for me, but we didn't really stress it, it was basically a matter of get it up and running and that was that.

[17:41:16] daviey: doh, is that a compile issue or a console switch?
[17:41:29] GreyFoxx: It's a config option in the frontends setup menus
[17:41:40] daviey: :(
[17:41:47] daviey: x11vnc it is

[17:43:00] GreyFoxx: My kid hides my remote if she doesn't want me to turn off her shows
[17:43:08] GreyFoxx: so I have several ways to remote control from my laptop
[17:43:35] daviey: haha, to be fair my 2 year old is sat on my lap asleep (shes unwell) so i don't really want to move
[17:43:48] GreyFoxx: VNC, telnet controls, or a commandline app that someone in here wrote that uses the telnet controls and just traps your keypresses and sends them to the frontend. IT apparently also compiles under windows natively thought I've never tried that
[17:44:10] GreyFoxx: Been there :) My little one will be 3 in April :)
[17:44:12] onewheelskyward: hehe that's an enterprising munchkin, there.
[17:45:02] GreyFoxx: onewheelskyward: She also knows when it's close to the end of one of her shows and asks about watching abnother one before this one ends heh
[17:45:20] daviey: x11vnc has done it
[17:45:29] onewheelskyward: Damn, that's pretty smart. Getting ahead of the game.
[17:45:34] daviey: now; deal or no deal or neighbours?
[17:45:57] GreyFoxx: onewheelskyward: heh yeah, if she knows I want to change it she will take the remote and quietly lay it next to her mother so it's not where I expect it hehe
[17:46:20] GreyFoxx: She LOVES the mythvideo gallery
[17:46:35] GreyFoxx: I scroll through and when she sees a poster of one of her movies she tells which which you wants :)
[17:46:38] daviey: my one know exactly what button turns the tv on/off. If she wants to play; she switches it off!
[17:46:39] GreyFoxx: which she wants
[17:47:04] GreyFoxx: My machine spends more time recording (and expiring) shows for her than anything for me :)
[17:47:14] GreyFoxx: myth+show limits+auto expire rock
[17:47:15] nelius: how can i view my recorded movies?
[17:47:36] GreyFoxx: nelius: Something you recorded with myth? Go to Watch Recordings
[17:47:40] nelius: if i go to the recordings section in fe, i can only see the recordings from lifetv
[17:47:48] GreyFoxx: nelius: Hit M
[17:48:00] daviey: nelius, are you the guy from the other day??
[17:48:01] GreyFoxx: then change the group filter to default or all depending on what you want

[17:50:40] nelius: daviey: yepp
[17:50:49] nelius: but now i solved my backend problem
[17:51:06] GreyFoxx: The worst thing about myth in every room is that my daughter knows for a fact that I CAN put on any of her shows at anytime. So I can't just say "It's not on yet" heh
[17:51:06] nelius: it was one of my best problems...
[17:51:28] nelius: usermod -G <groupname> removes all groups and just sets the new groupnames...
[17:51:50] nelius: so i removed the mythtv user from the video group w.o. noticing.
[17:52:06] nelius: and mythtv user had no permissions for my dvb-card
[17:52:24] daviey: ahh
[17:52:25] nelius: for some reason this took effect just a day after my changes
[17:53:03] nelius: and as my myth-backend runs in a xen domU debuging myth is a bit compicated...
[17:53:17] nelius: but now it's working again, thx for your patience
[17:53:24] hjohnson: hmm.. I wonder if my machine has the oomph to transcode mpeg2 to H.264 in real-time at decent video quality.
[17:53:59] nelius: and remeber: if you want to add a user to a group use "usermod -a -G <groupname> " :-)

[19:23:50] justinh: jeffmeden: if it's a v4l framegrabber card, you can use v4lctl sometimes

[19:24:31] justinh: is it a framegrabber card?
[19:24:41] jeffmeden: speaking of that tool, does it report the true card capabilites? b/c it shows the tuner runs at 320x240
[19:24:58] justinh: 320x240 may be about right
[19:25:02] jeffmeden: its a leadtek winfast card
[19:25:06] jeffmeden: uber cheap
[19:25:56] justinh: my first dabbling with tuner cards saw me trying to capture at 768x576 & it just wouldn't happen even with huffyuv without dropping loads of frames
[19:26:21] jeffmeden: i have it running at 640x480 and it looks okay
[19:26:35] justinh: if the card doesn't do audio capture onboard why not just change the recording volume in $linux-mixer ?
[19:26:43] jeffmeden: but if its only coming in at 240 lines i could save a ton of space
[19:27:12] justinh: jeffmeden: experiment with different capture resolutions if you like but be careful you don't totally screw up the settings
[19:27:27] jeffmeden: yeah
[19:27:37] jeffmeden: i tried turning the volume way down on the sound card
[19:27:38] justinh: use whatever you feel you can live with

[19:41:29] GlemSom (GlemSom!n=GlemSom@50A2C120.flatrate.dk) has quit ("Leaving")
[19:41:46] justinh: I can't remember the specific reason it doesn't show up in other players, but IIRC it has a lot to do with output methods
[19:42:00] GreyFoxx: The problem is that the driver is reporting to us that it can handle I420 format when in fact it can't
[19:42:10] daviey: i see
[19:42:11] GreyFoxx: Other players default to a different format
[19:42:26] GreyFoxx: so that hack forces us to skip I420 even if the card says it supports it
[19:43:17] justinh: just an observation here, not a criticism – but why couldn't mythtv's code be changed to just ignore I420 anyway?
[19:43:22] GreyFoxx: I think we default to I420 but mplayer defaults to YV12
[19:43:25] daviey: I wish my card was supported by the Open Source driver
[19:43:37] justinh: is it more efficient to use it if present?
[19:43:53] GreyFoxx: justinh: Not 100% sure, but I think it's less work to use I420. No need to convert between yuv layouts
[19:44:12] daviey: but is compatibility more important than efficiency?
[19:44:30] GreyFoxx: No ?
[19:44:37] GreyFoxx: Depends on if you are affected by it or not :)
[19:44:41] justinh: depends on your outlook I suppose ;)
[19:45:02] GreyFoxx: It forces the bug out into the daylight so maybe they will fix it
[19:45:11] daviey: Some players give you the option of changing in in realtime; no re-encoding. Why doesn't myth
[19:45:35] justinh: why does myth have such demanding users?
[19:45:40] GreyFoxx: daviey: Where do they give you the option?
[19:45:46] daviey: sorry, i mean't re-compiling not re-encoding
[19:46:00] daviey: hmm, i'm sure i have seen it in mplayer
[19:46:04] justinh: oh you mean another setup screen... :-|
[19:46:20] daviey: yes!! setup screens kick ass
[19:46:32] justinh: myth already has way more than 160
[19:46:35] daviey: Do we know what googles summer of code; should bring this year?
[19:46:47] justinh: fuck all, basically the same as last year?
[19:46:51] GreyFoxx: I don't image we will do that again
[19:46:54] GreyFoxx: major waste of time
[19:47:04] daviey: it was free though
[19:47:07] GreyFoxx: almost every student submitted nothing
[19:47:15] justinh: I mean I could promise to deliver a rewrite of the UI code...
[19:47:32] justinh: it'll be submitted a week next Tuesday, promise ;)
[19:47:33] stuarta: or 5 themes
[19:47:42] daviey: When i did my sandwich job at uni; i did the same ;(
[19:48:21] justinh: stuarta: nobody has enough ram to develop 5 of my themes in one lump :)
[19:48:21] kormoc: daviey, it did cost tho, it took dev's time and energy to deal with the students, and there wasn't much gained from it at all
[19:48:36] daviey: actually i did submit an adequate solution, but it wasn't as good as i hoped
[19:48:40] ** kormoc peers at the 64 gigs of ram server **
[19:48:53] justinh: some benefit will come to mythweb eventually & maybe commflagging code IIRC
[19:49:54] kormoc: justinh, mythweb's doubtful, Xris and I are both sorta both pondering just doing the work ourselves, as his tree is getting rather stale
[19:50:09] justinh: oh hell.. there goes my optimism again
[19:50:44] justinh: it's all you developers, with your arrogant attitudes... pffft I dunno ;)
[19:50:49] ** kormoc laughs **
[19:50:50] GreyFoxx: hehe
[19:51:17] fryfrog: talkin bout teh SoC?
[19:51:33] fryfrog: gallery's SoC the first year went decently, 2nd year SoC went not so as good

[19:52:08] justinh: when I start doing my next dig into t' source code I warn you now, some coaching will be needed. "what's a class again?"
[19:52:31] xris: daviey: "this year" as in 2007? I don't know if mythtv will be interested in participating again.
[19:53:04] daviey: Thats a shame
[19:53:14] fryfrog: its a lot of work, especially since most of the applicants haven't even *touched* gallery (or mythtv)
[19:53:15] xris: don't think we got any good out of it.
[19:53:22] daviey: trouble is, very few uni's focus on c++ these days
[19:53:49] justinh: I was mulling over the stuff I've been thinking about trying to do while I was driving into work – suddenly realised it's gonna need serious timing mechanisms especially if other stuff like mfd comes on apace
[19:53:56] hjohnson: daviey: heh, my favourite topic.. :) to me, universities shouldn't be in the buisness of teaching languages. <G>
[19:54:06] hjohnson: (but then, i suppose i'm an ivory-tower weenie)
[19:54:18] daviey: hjohnson, why not?
[19:54:21] justinh: I can't just do a 1. draw button.. 2. get keypress.. 3. start to move button for... while... ;)
[19:54:43] daviey: goto 10
[19:54:50] gbee: hmm, my email is getting slow
[19:54:50] hjohnson: daviey: because teaching technologies is a dead end.. the technology should just be a tool to teach the broader concepts that underly the way we do things...
[19:54:53] hjohnson: if that makes any sense.
[19:55:05] hjohnson: because that is adaptable to any language and any design.
[19:55:06] justinh: hjohnson: I get that
[19:55:14] daviey: hjohnson, but if you can code c++ you can do any modern language
[19:55:18] hjohnson: the language is just a tool to express the concept.
[19:55:54] daviey: true, but are you suggesting they only teach pseudo-code?
[19:56:07] kormoc: daviey, the problem is, so many people think they can code when they just don't understand the concepts behind it, and thus, suck major
[19:56:14] hjohnson: daviey: i'm sugesting they do mathamtics, deisgn architecture, and what not, and let the students do it in whatever language they want.
[19:56:19] justinh: hjohnson: depends on the language. e.g. not everything is object oriented etc..
[19:56:25] hjohnson: justinh: well, of course.
[19:56:40] hjohnson: but i'd be happy if OO classes and what not were say taught smaltalk 80 or something.
[19:56:54] daviey: justinh, providing it isn't a logic language OO concepts can be ported to any language
[19:56:55] justinh: I think there's still too much learning by rote in education these days
[19:57:13] kormoc: daviey, what about languages that don't support OOP?
[19:57:14] daviey: rote?
[19:57:23] hjohnson: kormoc: you can still apply the concepts..
[19:57:30] hjohnson: iv'e done OOish designs in C for example..
[19:57:32] justinh: daviey: just stuffing people full of info & getting them to regurgitate it on command
[19:57:38] gbee: it's what many employers apparently want, they want kids straight from uni with the understanding of the principals – but they prefer to teach those students their own style (and bad habits)
[19:57:47] daviey: kormoc, if you can code in OO, do you think you could easily learn other concepts?
[19:58:22] justinh: I can just about get my head around OO, but where I really fall down is inheritance & crap like that
[19:58:31] kormoc: daviey, I've meet people who can't
[19:58:35] daviey: justinh, i agree about the 'regurgitate'; thats exactly what it is. Modern students have no technology imagination.
[19:58:57] hjohnson: justinh: just think of it this way..
[19:59:31] daviey: justinh, inheritance is simple. Just think of it as inheriting the status/properties and variables of the class above it
[19:59:37] justinh: learning should for the most part be about training people to think for themselves in an original way, to solve problems by whatever means at their disposal – because that's what real life is like
[19:59:55] hjohnson: a quadrelateral is a polygon with 4 sides... a parallelogram is a quadrelateral with 2 pairs of equal length sides, a rectangle is a parallelogram where the corners are all 90 degrees, a square is a rectangle with 4 equal sides.
[20:00:02] hjohnson: that's basically inheritance.
[20:00:07] gbee: justinh: it took me a while, I must say that I couldn't understand the benefits at all – it didn't initially seem any different to the proceedural stuff I'd started with, just more work if anything – but after working with OOP for a while it suddenly became clear :)
[20:00:14] daviey: hjohnson, please can you complicate it further?
[20:00:23] hjohnson: so a square is a rectangle, but a rectangle is not a square.
[20:00:26] justinh: yeah my brain is totally procedural
[20:00:44] justinh: that's what machine coding education does to you
[20:00:48] daviey: i wish every programme was monolithic
[20:01:00] ** kormoc blinks **
[20:01:11] hjohnson: heh
[20:01:21] daviey: no for or while loops; we need "if x then goto 10" ;p
[20:01:21] hjohnson: admitedly, i like writing c for bare iron.
[20:01:37] justinh: daviey: it'd make doing something like mythtv pretty rock hard
[20:01:42] hjohnson: anyhow.. lunch
[20:01:47] kormoc: daviey, the linux kernel is monolithic, and it has for and while loops :P
[20:01:51] justinh: aye time for curry :)

[20:03:10] psofa: like buy the lappy and see ? :P

[20:14:14] gandalfcome: please help
[20:14:36] gandalfcome: is it normal that mythfrontend runs multiple instances of itself?
[20:16:07] GreyFoxx: gandalfcome: No, but you will seen each of the threads appearing as seperate processes
[20:16:35] gandalfcome: GreyFoxx: so its okay to have 3 threads for example?
[20:16:43] GreyFoxx: It is expected yes

[20:17:17] GreyFoxx: my main frontend at home, which is right now playing something is showing 9
[20:17:47] gandalfcome: GreyFoxx: eg xebian:~# pidof mythfrontend
[20:17:49] GreyFoxx: It all depends on the version of kernel and threading libraries on your machine whether or not they show up in ps or not
[20:18:42] gandalfcome: GreyFoxx: and mythfrontend(only loading the frontend takes half a minute) on the xbox is slow as hell is that normal?
[20:19:16] justinh: gandalfcome: normal for any machine that only has 32MB of usable RAM no doubt
[20:19:19] GreyFoxx: gandalfcome: I believe so since the original xbox has very very little ram
[20:19:28] gandalfcome: GreyFoxx: as this is for my parents, are there clients which they just switch on and they are ready and usable within 30 secs or so?
[20:19:51] gandalfcome: justinh: i thought xbox had 64
[20:19:59] justinh: xbox indeed has 64MB
[20:20:02] GreyFoxx: gandalfcome: Takes 20 seconds or less to boot all of my frontends from power button to myth ready to go
[20:20:05] justinh: 32MB goes to the GPU
[20:20:13] GreyFoxx: depends on your distro, and the hardware you are using
[20:20:21] null_: use initng ;-)
[20:20:27] gandalfcome: GreyFoxx: what kind of hardware do you have
[20:20:43] gandalfcome: im very interested
[20:20:50] GreyFoxx: gandalfcome: Most of my frontends are msntv2's hacked to run linux, netbooting from my fileserver
[20:21:10] GreyFoxx: but even my "regular" pc frontend takes less than 30 seconds
[20:21:28] justinh: might be nice if folks start posting init scripts to the wikiwiki one day :)
[20:21:50] gandalfcome: server works like a charm but the mythfrontend is very slow. im in germany so I probably cant msn2tv
[20:22:01] gandalfcome: null_: whats initng
[20:22:06] GreyFoxx: gandalfcome: You can get the S100 which is almost hardware identical
[20:22:07] justinh: gandalfcome: you guys have the t-online s100
[20:22:13] GreyFoxx: in fact it's a better choice than the msntv2
[20:22:25] null_: gandalfcome: a replacement for the init-system, *much* faster, boots up in about 15 seconds
[20:22:30] justinh: and zenslack which comes ready-made with mythtv 'packages'
[20:23:14] justinh: the one snag with zenslack being that the backend has to be the same version
[20:23:23] gandalfcome: null_: how do I implement it in my xbox?
[20:23:47] justinh: gandalfcome: a lot of reading up. you have to know about what the init process needs to do
[20:23:49] null_: gandalfcome: I don't know, I don't have one, but I think it'll use the sysvinit system like most other distributions...
[20:24:13] null_: gandalfcome: however I doubt that this will speed up your boot process with only 32 megs of ram...
[20:24:16] heanol: for the music and video plugins for myth.. are the locations for the music / video on the server or frontend?
[20:24:43] justinh: heanol: all but mythvideo look for files locally
[20:24:54] heanol: mythmusic too?
[20:24:55] justinh: well actually all the plugins look for files locally
[20:24:55] gandalfcome: okay guys what do you recommend, hacking the xbox further or trying the s100 (theres one on ebay in an hour for 50 euros)
[20:25:11] gandalfcome: I just need something fast and stable
[20:25:20] gandalfcome: which doesnt take too much time to set up
[20:25:20] justinh: heanol: but with mythvideo, the file paths aren't stored on a per-frontend basis
[20:25:24] null_: gandalfcome: get decent hardware for more money, then you'll have a rock-solid frontend
[20:25:39] gandalfcome: null_: no s100?
[20:25:45] heanol: justinh, so i should mount up my videos and music on each frontend?
[20:25:54] justinh: heanol: I'd advise you to store all the stuff in one place & mount it with NFS to the 'same' location on all the boxes
[20:25:59] heanol: yeah.
[20:26:19] justinh: took me quite a while to figure out what was going on with mythvideo ;)
[20:26:22] fysa: are the RM4100s worth getting now?
[20:26:29] null_: gandalfcome: I don't know about the s100, maybe that could work, but I think you'd better get some cheap standard pc hardware

[20:26:43] sinnlos: hello
[20:26:52] justinh: null_: the s100 makes a much more capable frontend than the xbox, believe me (I have 2)
[20:27:24] null_: justinh: ok, don't know about them... but I think if it shouldn't take too long to set it up it isn't the right decision, is it?
[20:27:30] justinh: I put gentoo on mine a while ago & netbooted it
[20:28:02] justinh: eh? if it doesn't take too long to set up it's not the right decision? wtf would that rationale be based on then?
[20:29:54] opello: learning is wrong, obviously
[20:30:05] gandalfcome: justinh: I am leaving this country in just about 2 weeks and have a lot on my finger tips. The server is setup perfectly I just need a frontend thats quite painless and perhaps with good tutorials. the xbox worked good to setup buty its too damn slow
[20:30:14] null_: justinh: possible, never looked for them...
[20:30:47] justinh: if you put your brain into gear, neglecting the need to do *some* hardware hacking it's not a major job
[20:31:01] gandalfcome: justinh: okay lets say I buy this s100 (how much faster than an xbox is this) do I need anything else?
[20:31:06] justinh: but considering some people manage to mess up building a PC...
[20:31:21] gandalfcome: justinh: i dont mind hardware hacking as long as its well documented
[20:31:34] gandalfcome: justinh: sort of "well"
[20:31:36] justinh: gandalfcome: the hardware hacking involves making one cable
[20:31:47] justinh: a cable you can buy from ebay I believe

[20:33:43] justinh: it's essentially just an all-in-one motherboard with TV out, LAN, USB, IDE, remote control sensor... in a nice looking little box
[20:34:07] justinh: gandalfcome: check out www.zenega-user.de
[20:34:09] gandalfcome: and its way faster than the xbox (the specs sound like xbox)
[20:34:32] justinh: put it this way gandalfcome I don't consider mythtv on xebian to be usable
[20:34:38] justinh: it's way too slow
[20:34:46] gandalfcome: justinh: then we are 2 people considering this
[20:34:47] daviey: juski, you don't use it as a fe anymore tho?
[20:34:55] sinnlos: hello, i have a error after install the ubuntu version 0.2 of mythtv http://www.ubuntuusers.de/paste/7374/
[20:35:21] gandalfcome: justinh: so is mfe "usable" on the s100?
[20:35:30] justinh: daviey: we have a rule in our house... we have 2 tvs.. one in the computer room for playing xbox games & the other is in the livingroom. the s100 was an interesting exercise
[20:35:42] justinh: gandalfcome: yes it is. it's surprisingly snappy
[20:35:44] daviey: sinnlos, tried rebooting or just running mythbackend to see if it works
[20:36:18] justinh: gandalfcome: the week before last I installed slack on the s100 & was playing back SDTV with less than 50% CPU usage
[20:36:21] sinnlos: well i reboot  :/

[20:40:40] justinh: and a heavy 19" CRT monitor. not the most snazzy of kit but we drew a lot of punters
[20:41:14] justinh: I'm too skint right now to even contemplate exhibiting this year
[20:42:18] justinh: hey isn't it about the time SCALE is going on in the USA?
[20:42:45] justinh: almost...
[20:43:08] Puh_: how can i open the teletext page?
[20:43:11] daviey: some USA'ers wanted lugradiolive to be in the US this year

[20:43:32] null_: funny, 3 harddisks of the same type died in the last 30 minutes... no way to tell me that this is not a fault in the production :-p
[20:43:34] Puh_: keys.txt says that pressing 'T' should open teletext but for me it only toggles dvb subtitles on/off
[20:43:39] daviey: Puh_, get a 2 year old daughter to lean on the keyboard. Thats the only time i have done it
[20:43:46] Puh_: :)
[20:44:41] justinh: daviey: yeah well I have erm.. reservations about exhibiting again, so we'll have to wait & see a) if anybody offers stand space and b) if anybody else steps up to the mantle
[20:44:45] daviey: Puh_, do you mean dvb teletext or standard
[20:45:07] daviey: do we have a date / location yet?
[20:45:17] justinh: daviey: for what?
[20:45:30] justinh: for LRL? no idea
[20:45:34] Puh_: well i have dvb tuners .. does it carry standard teletext pages at all?
[20:45:45] Puh_: or is it only on analog transmission?
[20:45:59] justinh: Puh_: most likely no, but a quick look at keys.txt will tell you which keys do what in mythtv
[20:46:21] Puh_: ok
[20:46:23] daviey: jusku LRL
[20:46:41] justinh: in the UK you can enable MHEG digital stuff in tv settings > playback then press F2 in livetv mode
[20:47:01] eskil (eskil!n=eskil@natint3.juniper.net) has joined #mythtv-users
[20:47:03] daviey: Puh_, no it's not standard teletet – it's an overlay like subtitles AFAIK
[20:47:25] justinh: daviey: "date not yet announced, but if you were to think in terms of July-ish 2007 then you wouldn't be far wrong"
[20:47:33] Puh_: dvb subtitles work great and they are overlay graphics
[20:47:41] Puh_: but i guess no news on teletext then
[20:48:04] daviey: Lugradiolive 2007 – 7th and 8th July 2007 Wolverhampton
[20:48:28] justinh: Puh_: what kind of DVB tuner? dvb-t / dvb-s / dvb-c ? and which country do you live in?
[20:48:33] daviey: Puh_, it does work as i have done it accidently – not sure how
[20:48:40] Puh_: dvb-c and i live in finland
[20:48:50] justinh: Puh_: I'd say more than likely NO then
[20:48:58] daviey: mine was dvb-t (UK)
[20:49:07] Puh_: ok, thank you

[21:40:19] stuarta: ubuntu puts the new password somewhere
