[00:00:59] xris: sivel27: to control what?
[00:01:08] xzcvczx: xris: irblaster probably
[00:01:25] xris: xzcvczx: and what would the ir blaster be controlling?
[00:01:27] sivel27: to control my pansat fta reciever
[00:01:35] xzcvczx: xris :)
[00:01:36] sivel27: from my laptop
[00:01:37] xris: sivel27: usually the channel change script is just a little bash script that calls ir_send
[00:02:12] xris: sivel27: the location of the frontend doesn't matter. all the frontend does is grab the video from the backend.
[00:03:34] sivel27: right, but say if im in the basemwnt with th frontend {laptop}, and the pansat controller isnt with me, could i change the channels through the laptop keyboard
[00:05:01] fryfrog: sure
[00:05:10] fryfrog: something like "yourscript.sh 844"
[00:05:43] fryfrog: where "yourscript.sh" is of course, your bash script that is written to use irsend/irblaster to change the channel

[00:07:33] nero (nero!n=_nero_@unaffiliated/nero) has joined #mythtv-users
[00:07:45] sivel27: where would i go to read up on the creation of the script,
[00:07:49] sivel27: commands, etc
[00:08:36] nero: if I want to upgrade my distro (essentially start over from scratch on the OS) but I want to keep all my recordings, etc.. which are on another partition, I simply need to export my mysql database, then re-import it after setting up Myth again on the new distro, correct?
[00:08:57] Tanthrix: nero: Aye.
[00:09:08] nero: Tanthrix, great. :)
[00:09:11] clever_ (clever_!n=clever@fctnnbsc16w-156034220059.nb.aliant.net) has quit (Connection timed out)
[00:09:19] Tanthrix: nero: As far as I know, anyway ;)
[00:09:44] nero: Tanthrix, yeah, the last time I did this was 2004, and I forgot to do the DB backup..
[00:09:51] nero: don't want to make that mistake again ;)
[00:09:52] Tanthrix: Lame.
[00:10:02] nero: to say the least!
[00:10:52] fryfrog: nero: you might also want to *restore* selectivly
[00:10:59] fryfrog: ie, just the recorded table or so
[00:11:11] nero: fryfrog, very true.
[00:11:15] fryfrog: ie, do a clean setup but import all your old previously recorded shows and currently saved programs
[00:11:22] fryfrog: thats what i did recently
[00:11:32] fryfrog: but for sure *have* a full backup, so you can pull out which ever tables you want :)
[00:11:35] nero: yup.. that is what I am mostly interested in.. cant think of anything else that would need backing up.
[00:11:41] nero: yup.. just grabbed all 11 megs of it. :)
[00:11:46] fryfrog: 11mb???
[00:11:48] fryfrog: lazy :)
[00:11:50] nero: hehe
[00:11:52] fryfrog: mine is like 90mb :)
[00:12:08] nero: I dont have a TON of recordings.. but enough that I dont want to lose.
[00:12:21] nero: I figure, new TV, new HD service, I might as well install a new distro.. ;)
[00:12:30] fryfrog: ah
[00:12:38] fryfrog: what sort of HD?
[00:12:44] nero: the TV? or the Service?
[00:12:58] fryfrog: i'd be curios of both, but was refering to the service
[00:13:01] nero: the TV is the new Samsung 720p 40" (4053H), the service is Verizon FiOS
[00:13:10] fryfrog: oh, wow nice fios!
[00:13:14] nero: yeah..
[00:13:18] fryfrog: how are you hooking the HD portion to myth? firewire?
[00:13:23] nero: too bad I wont really be able to use MythTV too much with it..
[00:13:32] nero: I am going to try.. I've heard mixed things about if it works or not..
[00:14:02] fryfrog: ah
[00:14:03] nero: some claim they can only get the OTA stuff, others say they can get everything that isnt premium (can get Discover HD, Food Network HD, ESPN HD, etc.. cant get HBO HD, Showtime HD etc..)
[00:14:21] fryfrog: i use firewire with my comcast crappy DVR HD boxes, i get everything i pay for
[00:14:25] fryfrog: from firewire
[00:14:25] Tanthrix: nero: It all depends on your cable provider.
[00:14:34] fryfrog: what sort of boxes do they give you?
[00:14:34] nero: but you need their DVR to try it anyway (its the only thing with FW out) so even if it doesnt work, I still have their crappy DVR
[00:14:40] nero: same thing that comcast gives..
[00:14:48] fryfrog: motorola DCT6412?
[00:14:50] nero: Tanthrix, I know- but it also seems to vary from place to place.
[00:14:50] kormoc_: Verizon isn't gonverned by the FCC firewire ruling, as they're not a cable-co (yet)
[00:14:54] fryfrog: you sure they don't have a plain old HD tuner?
[00:15:09] fryfrog: lucky bastards :/
[00:15:15] fryfrog: do you have fios internets, btw?
[00:15:16] Tanthrix: nero: Er, that's what I meant. Not like all Comcast is the same, but all local companies are diffient.
[00:15:27] nero: fryfrog, yup. They claim to have a $9.99/mo HD tuner but when I called they said it isnt available..
[00:15:31] FairWitness (FairWitness!n=fwitness@c-24-0-176-32.hsd1.nj.comcast.net) has joined #mythtv-users
[00:15:40] FairWitness: Sup people.
[00:15:55] nero: so I went for the $13.00/mo dvr.. though some have said the STB (non DVR) that they give you doesn't have FW out.
[00:16:05] fryfrog: nero: I actually tried to get 2 from comcast, but the dude that came out to swap em took my DVR and... brought in 2 more DVRs
[00:16:21] FairWitness: Got my brand new ubuntu-based myth installs, and everything looks great. My only question, can I force the video scan to always be progressive?
[00:16:30] nero: kormoc, yup.. Though everyone I have talked to said they are following the regs- the local OTA stuff is available.
[00:16:42] nero: so.. that all gets installed tomorrow.. and I'll know a lot more.. ;)
[00:17:05] fryfrog: FairWitness: just turn on deinterlacing, and make sure your *video* settings for Xorg are set to non-interlaced setting
[00:17:08] nero: even so, I can still use myth for everything else (videos, gallery, music, DVDs, etc..) which is about half my usage anyway.
[00:17:16] fryfrog: FairWitness: well, of course assuming you aren't using like svideo or rca out on a video card
[00:17:24] nero: bbiab.. time to start the ubuntu install..
[00:17:29] fryfrog: think you'll need component, vga or DVI / HDMI to do "progressive"
[00:17:41] FairWitness: fryfrog: Using standard VGA...Need to check the xorg..
[00:17:50] fryfrog: and for computers, "progressive" is normal... you'd have to work hard to get interlaced output
[00:17:50] riddlebox (riddlebox!n=james@75-132-225-75.dhcp.stls.mo.charter.com) has quit ("Leaving")
[00:18:33] FairWitness: fryfrog: Understood, it's just that myth's "autodetect" seems to prefer interlaced. I was assuming due to the video source.
[00:19:09] fryfrog: FairWitness: oh, yeah sure if it detects that the recording is "interlaced" it will deinterlace it, if you have deinterlacing turned on
[00:19:10] FairWitness: I find I get the best output (smoothest) with bob deinterlacing, and manually changing (via the osd) to "progressive"
[00:19:13] fryfrog: what is your source?
[00:19:33] FairWitness: Standard cable.
[00:19:41] fryfrog: humm, thats odd. i'd have thought it picked that by default
[00:19:59] fryfrog: i mean, its not like it can actually change to an "interlaced" mode if you don't have one defined in the xorg.conf file?
[00:19:59] FairWitness: Nope. It loves the interlacing. I think it's the fancy name. :)
[00:20:20] fryfrog: hehe
[00:20:35] FairWitness: No special modes. Stock install, stock rezs.
[00:27:04] giovani: I wondering if there is any feature already available (or planned) for doing a multi picture-in-picture (assuming one has the number of inputs for it) — 4 or 9 inputs to evenly divide the screen, for example

[01:51:31] Tanthrix: nero: It should be able to handle 720p just fine
[01:51:46] nero: Tanthrix, yeah, I think the problem is the DVI->HDMI
[01:52:19] nero: I couldn't get any output (including the bios screen, etc..) with the 440MX. Swapped in my main machine's 6800GT, and it all worked just fine.
[01:52:37] Tanthrix: Weird!
[01:52:56] Tanthrix: And when you tried this there were no other monitors connected, right?
[01:53:02] nero: correct.
[01:53:18] tanq: does anyone in here use the ati HDTV with an nvidia card?
[01:53:20] Tanthrix: And I presume you know the DVI output to actually work?
[01:53:26] tanq: I can't get them to work together
[01:53:40] Tanthrix: (ie, it's not physically broken)
[01:53:40] nero: Yup.. it worked before (though I guess I hadn't used it in a while)
[01:53:47] tanq: i see forums from 2004 that basically say that they don'y really work well together.
[01:53:51] nero: oh.. yeah..
[01:53:54] nero: it works.. I am using it right now..
[01:54:03] nero: on my main machine.

[01:54:29] Tanthrix: Well, I would have never thought that to be possible.
[01:54:32] xris: and/or anyone else in the northwest: http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/mythtv/users/264198
[01:55:22] nero: Tanthrix, I have heard that some cards have trouble doing the DVI->HDMI thing on samsung TVs..
[01:55:25] nero: shrug
[01:55:32] tanq: man this is frustrating.. if I use the hdtv with my geforce ti 4200 i can play the HD content for a while but it lags. if i throw in my GX 5600 (128MB) or my 6200(256mb) they freeze almost instantly.
[01:56:22] Tanthrix: nero: They *should* be 100 percent backwards compatible. I wonder if the problem might be some kind of bug with your TV.
[01:56:49] Tanthrix: nero: In any case, I'm sorry to hear that. At least video cards aren't too expensive these days.
[01:57:14] nero: Tanthrix, I wouldn't be suprised.. there are all kinds of complaints with Samsung panels + DVI->HDMI.. but when it works, it works BEAUTIFULLY.
[01:57:22] nero: humm..
[01:57:23] nero: hold on..
[01:57:24] tanq: what else besides mplayer can I use to test OTA HDTV?
[01:57:40] nero: it may be my card.. I am not really using DVI.. I am using DVI->VGA (analog) from that card..
[01:57:47] nero: and it is an old card.. so that may be the issue.
[01:58:21] Tanthrix: Wait, so you're using an DVI to VGA convertor instead of DVI to HDMI for the TV?
[01:59:18] nero: no..
[01:59:25] nero: My main monitor is VGA..
[01:59:31] nero: so, right now I am using it DVI->VGA
[01:59:44] Tanthrix: Oh, I see.
[01:59:44] nero: and I have never used that card for DVI->DVI, so it could be the card that is shot.
[01:59:55] Tanthrix: Is it possible that your card only has a DVI-A port on it?
[02:00:03] nero: Maybe.
[02:00:07] nero: Its old..
[02:00:15] nero: and I think it came out of a Dell something or another..
[02:00:22] Tanthrix: I wonder if there is a way to find out somehow
[02:00:27] nero: (got it out of surplus at the office ;) )
[02:00:38] Tanthrix: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dvi
[02:00:53] Tanthrix: chart*
[02:01:34] Tanthrix: Since DVI-A isn't DVI at all it would most certainly not work with your TV in any way.
[02:01:45] nero: no.. it looks like DVI-I
[02:02:28] Tanthrix: Though, I guess that doesn't mean *that* much because it might just be cheaper for them to use a standard plug and just leave some pins unconnected than to use the correct ports.
[02:02:38] nero: that very well could be the case..
[02:02:42] nero: its only a 32 meg card..
[02:02:55] nero: passively cooled (which is why I liked it for SDTV)
[02:02:57] Tanthrix: Could try looking up the model number.

[02:03:13] Tanthrix: I hate when they do that.

[02:03:40] tanq: what does mythtv use to play hdtv?
[02:03:43] adante: hey Tanthrix, how do you disable the database part for the video plugin?
[02:03:50] tanq: i can't remember is that a configuration option?
[02:04:03] Tanthrix: adante: It's something about "don't load metadata" or something similar
[02:04:05] nero: bbiab

[02:07:11] Tanthrix: tanq: Have you monitored your CPU usage "top -d .3" while playing back HD stuff? Your video card won't have anything to do with performance unless you're using XvMC
[02:07:28] Tanthrix: adante: NP.
[02:08:13] tanq: Tanthrix: i've only tried it in mplayer so far.. but it actually plays with my super low end card. it just gets out of sync..
[02:08:31] tanq: and i've looked at top and not really seen anything unusual
[02:09:06] tanq: when i use the newer cards it just craps out.
[02:09:09] Tanthrix: tanq: mplayer seems to be a decent amount more efficient at playing back mpeg2 than myth's internal player, for whatever reasons.
[02:09:31] tanq: i'm going to give xine a whirl and see if it gives me the same results.
[02:09:38] Tanthrix: What nvidia are you running? Are you sure the driver you have is new enough to support your newer cards?
[02:09:48] Tanthrix: nvidia driver*
[02:10:00] tanq: yes I downloaded the latest drivers from the website.
[02:10:18] tanq: and I mean nvidias website.

[02:10:50] nero: (er, nvagp, whatever it is)
[02:12:29] tanq: its not set so it should be automatic
[02:12:43] nero: you may want to try changing the settings..
[02:12:57] nero: it defaults to 1 I think? And that isn't good for many people..
[02:13:26] nero: also, if you have renderaccel on, try turing it off.
[02:13:30] nero: turning even
[02:13:32] tanq: well it is at 4x

[02:16:27] nero: well..
[02:16:46] nero: I have a little.. I had some HD content nabbed from somewhere that I tested it out with when I first got it..
[02:17:03] Tanthrix: Using your main machine's card, I take it
[02:17:09] nero: yeah.
[02:17:12] Tanthrix: hehe
[02:17:32] Tanthrix: Well, when you get it all working, you will be very happy
[02:17:37] nero: so I spent all weekend assembling Ikea furniture, moving stuff, etc..
[02:17:54] nero: moved a 300lb 36" sony trinitron
[02:18:03] nero: now it sits in our living room.. anyone want it?
[02:18:10] Tanthrix: hehe
[02:18:18] kormoc_: nero, if you deliver :P
[02:18:24] nero: kormoc, hehe..
[02:18:26] nero: yeah right.
[02:18:35] nero: I'm trying to sell the damn thing on craigslist..
[02:18:40] Tanthrix: Is it SD only?
[02:18:47] nero: had a few people interested.. but they were just kicking tires.
[02:18:49] nero: yeah.
[02:18:49] Tanthrix: Er, of course it is.
[02:19:02] Tanthrix: No HD trinitrons, those are the wegas or something.
[02:19:15] nero: though it is arguably Sony's highest quality tube..
[02:19:22] Tanthrix: I'm in the same process as you right now, upgrading to HD.
[02:19:27] nero: its the high end one that came out right before Wega..
[02:19:50] nero: so it gives a VERY nice picture.. just gotta find the right buyer.
[02:20:24] Tanthrix: I'm sure it does give a very nice picture. The question is though, for how much longer...
[02:20:41] Tanthrix: Before it begins the slow death that all new-ish CRTs embark on.
[02:22:20] nero: hehe
[02:22:20] knowledgejunkie: I've got a 6yo 36" WEGA which gives a very nice picture (weighed in at 95kg). The degauss on the screen is something else :)

[02:52:23] armbar: So what do you use to build for a stand-alone frontend?
[02:52:35] kormoc_: both and just don't run the backend
[02:53:09] armbar: so build it all and diable the backend startup?
[02:53:14] kormoc_: yes

[02:55:06] kormoc_: get a bigger drive
[02:55:10] clever[rev]: have to keep a close eye on it and delete stuff thats on autoexpire to save it
[02:55:25] clever[rev]: but why am i having to manauly delete files which are on autoexpire?
[02:55:33] clever[rev]: shouldnt it be auto deleting them on its own?
[02:56:39] kormoc_: in theory, sure
[02:56:51] clever[rev]: but there in use at the time
[02:56:54] clever[rev]: by mythcommflag
[02:57:31] clever[rev]: so if i have everything on dont expire and 2gig free with a min of 2gig free
[02:58:17] kormoc_: other thing that should likely be ticketed is, if you can't auto-expire anything, don't record when min-free-space is hit
[02:58:41] clever[rev]: yeah that would also be usefull

[03:18:49] erpo: Hi. After a while, my mythtv box starts to get choppy video. Restarting X fixes the problem. I've noticed that when mythtv is running fine, Xorg CPU usage is low, but when mythtv is having problems with choppy video playback, Xorg CPU usage sucks up whatever isn't being used by mythfrontend and mythcommflag. What's wrong? What should I do?
[03:18:55] xzcvczxx: kormoc_: thats what im thinking but unfourtunately am in single user mode so have no way to check my suspicions
[03:19:13] JoeyJoeJo: I had a similar problem once with slow data transfers.. it turned out that I wasn't using the top dma setting that my drive supported
[03:19:34] xzcvczxx: JoeyJoeJo: unfourtunately no way to check that either
[03:19:44] JoeyJoeJo: how come?

[03:21:48] kormoc_: sata won't have DMA/speed issues like PATA drives
[03:22:23] xzcvczxx: yeah but i guess the hdparm script wouldnt have started in single user mode enabling any performance increases would it
[03:22:35] sivel27: anyone having luck using a laptop with mythfrontend ?
[03:23:06] kormoc_: xzcvczxx, hdparm is rather useless with sata, go ahead and check, you won't have much to change, and nothing really performance related
[03:23:18] JoeyJoeJo: sive127: I'm using mythfrontend on a macbook pro in osx
[03:24:11] sivel27: nice. im using a dell, with intel 810 graphics and it "all-of-the-sudden" started to get virtually un-watchable

[08:59:37] bender386: how do you guys get your guide data?
[08:59:42] pat_: icetv
[09:00:06] bender386: you have to pay for that dont you?
[09:00:09] pat_: was using D1 for a while, but found their data to be crap
[09:00:19] pat_: yeah, you have to pay for icetv
[09:01:37] pigeon: i use tvguide.org.au
[09:01:39] pat_: there is also the ozTiVo data guide, http://minnie.tuhs.org/twiki/bin/view/TVGuide
[09:01:58] bender386: yeh im trying to get the oztivo one working
[09:02:23] bender386: tvguide.org.au dont go anywhere but its the same as oztivo i think
[09:02:58] pat_: yeah, the domain expired a few days ago
[09:03:02] pigeon: looks like tvguide.org.au domain has expired or not working, yeah it's basically that one
[09:03:03] pat_: and nobody renewed it
[09:03:08] pigeon: ha
[09:03:09] bender386: ah ok
[09:04:37] pat_: you've basically got 4 options: oztivo, d1, icetv, scraper

[10:25:45] hads: That's possible. I've only been using Seagate for a few years now. I do remember WD being noisy, but like you say that may have changed now.
[10:25:50] anykey_: gbee: i have a few wd drives here, they make some noise on each access, very high tone...
[10:25:59] hads: I don't really know much about Samsung drives.
[10:26:21] gbee: think I'll go with the Samsung Spinpoint, already got a couple and they are very quiet
[10:26:25] anykey_: gbee: though the warranty replacement of one of those drives is quite quiet..
[10:26:34] Ruleke: it depends on the WD drive tbh... I have a few that you can't actually hear
[10:26:44] hads: I'd go for the Samsung before the Maxtor
[10:26:52] hads: But that's just me.
[10:27:28] gbee: if I had time/money to shop around I could probably do better but the current drive is probably dead

[11:14:27] planktonboy: yup
[11:14:33] planktonboy: I have done that
[11:14:47] H0rb0rt: And why didn;'t that work?
[11:14:59] juski: I don't advise you use the cp command to copy large numbers of big files. rsync instead :)
[11:15:05] planktonboy: well just about to
[11:15:12] H0rb0rt: (btw, restarting the system to apply changes is not always nessersary, mount is a command to prevent this:p)
[11:15:23] planktonboy: ok

[11:16:01] H0rb0rt: I dont know pastbin, sorry.
[11:16:23] planktonboy: for example /dev/hda3 partition holds the files for mythmusic and mythgallery mounted in /media/Data
[11:16:37] juski: pastebin.ca ? like the one mentioned in the channel greeting?!
[11:17:05] H0rb0rt: pastebin and I am not compatible.
[11:17:19] juski: RTFM and you are not compatible either I'll wager
[11:17:21] planktonboy: and the files are in /media/Data/mythmusic and /media/Data/mythgallery respectively
[11:18:10] H0rb0rt: what is RTFM?
[11:18:14] H0rb0rt: !RTFM
[11:18:29] juski: planktonboy: if you just want to copy your recordings to the new hdd, make a new dir in / (e.g. recbackup) then mount the new hdd to /recbackup, then rsync your recordings dir to recbackup
[11:18:29] H0rb0rt: probably rules.
[11:18:40] juski: H0rb0rt: read the frickin manual
[11:18:51] planktonboy: juski ah ok

[11:19:50] planktonboy: right
[11:19:53] planktonboy: ok mate
[11:19:56] planktonboy: thanks a bunch
[11:20:03] juski: then you can unmount the original dir & adjust /etc/fstab or just edit /etc/fstab & tell mythtv-setup where the 'new' dir is
[11:20:48] planktonboy: yup
[11:20:56] planktonboy: cheers
[11:21:06] juski: until you're 100% sure the files are all there, do NOT do anything to the old ones ;)
[11:21:32] planktonboy: yes..I didnt want to lose them
[11:21:35] planktonboy: :
[11:21:40] planktonboy: :) even
[11:22:26] juski: I did a similar thing recently when I converted a partition to xfs. rsync'd all my recordings to a nice safe place, made the partition again using xfs this time & rsynced all the files back
[11:22:26] planktonboy: will have to change the symlinks for mythweb too before I forget |:)
[11:22:45] planktonboy: I have never used rsync
[11:22:58] juski: man rsync
[11:23:01] planktonboy: but i will have a read of that
[11:23:07] planktonboy: yup :)
[11:23:39] planktonboy: something new to learn
[11:23:51] planktonboy: thanks
[11:23:53] juski: be careful!
[11:23:56] juski: :)
[11:24:01] planktonboy: will do
[11:24:24] juski: what I did was have a practise run using rsync on some test files & dirs
[11:24:34] planktonboy: thats a good idea
[11:24:46] planktonboy: yeah, Im just changing some things around here
[11:25:00] planktonboy: got my new 42" lcd yesterday
[11:25:17] planktonboy: ended up getting the Sharp LC42XD1E

[11:26:06] Ruleke: think I'll get it
[11:26:40] planktonboy: and no noise and banding issues that some have experienced with it
[11:26:54] planktonboy: is that samsung the latest model

[13:22:05] Dibblah: And people that do it will meet their fate with surety.

[13:34:56] fryfrog: a good reason, if i have ever heard one!

[13:35:11] Beirdo: sucker
[13:35:12] Beirdo: :)
[13:35:12] Ruleke: ugh
[13:35:15] gbee: some guy went into space with ubuntu?!
[13:35:25] ** gbee goes to download ubuntu **
[13:35:38] gardengnome: gbee: yeah. last thing we heard from him was "so, how's dpkg-reconfigure --force mythtv-database work?"
[13:35:40] fryfrog: but then again... sometimes it is *nice* to install say... X in 5 minutes instead of an hour or three :)
[13:36:13] fryfrog: Mark Shuttleworth (right?) founded ubuntu, is really rich
[13:36:27] gbee: so I take it that not all is well in the world of ubuntu, contrary to the hype? :)
[13:36:27] fryfrog: and went to space for like 10+ days (8 at the ISS)
[13:36:47] Beirdo: gbee, don't listen to a bunch of whiners :)
[13:36:49] fryfrog: nah, i honestly think ubuntu is one of the nicest desktop distros i've ever used
[13:36:49] juski: gbee: has it ever been? ;)
[13:36:56] gardengnome: gbee: IMHO it's not really userfriendly. i don't care a lot, though.
[13:37:06] Beirdo: you'll find someone to whine about any distro
[13:37:13] fryfrog: true :)
[13:37:18] gbee: As I'm going to be reinstalling the OS on this dying HDD I had thought about trying ubuntu
[13:37:23] juski: computers R teh suck!
[13:37:27] fryfrog: what do you use now?
[13:37:40] Beirdo: if you are used to debianisms, Ubuntu is not a bad choice (in my mind)
[13:37:44] fryfrog: I think the best part about Ubuntu is that you get the good stuff about Debian w/o the debian :)
[13:38:02] gardengnome: Beirdo: right.
[13:38:04] ivor: 6 months for an update rather than 6 years you mean? :)
[13:38:10] gbee: but then again I really don't want to be uninstalling it in a month if I don't like it, I really can't be bothered with all that anymore
[13:38:11] fryfrog: ahha, exactly!
[13:38:16] gbee: fryfrog: Mandriva
[13:38:47] fryfrog: gbee: ah, rpm based
[13:38:50] gbee: yeah – gentoo is fine but not if you're updating packages regularly
[13:38:54] ivor: fryfrog: LFS, YellowDog, Ubuntu, FC5 and Kubuntu
[13:39:08] fryfrog: so far, after a bit of monkey business with the "beta" of feisty fawn, i am happier
[13:39:12] Beirdo: anyways, I should be off... gotta finish cleaning house as my mother's arriving today
[13:39:26] gbee: I stick with packages for most things and compile from source for those few apps where it's worthwhile
[13:39:30] fryfrog: I really miss the flexibility of gentoo, and how much i know it
[13:39:38] Beirdo: assuming flights through JFK ain't delayed too much
[13:40:08] fryfrog: I prefer to use the package system of the disro i use, try to keep the amount of stuff i do by hand to a minimum
[13:40:58] fryfrog: Before I switched my server / frontend to Ubuntu, I threw it onto a couple of my laptops to play around with it
[13:42:08] gbee: it's probably not representative, but my experience with knoppix (knoppmyth) put me off debian based distros
[13:42:40] fryfrog: i've not used any of the "instant myth" distros myself
[13:43:15] gbee: it was lots of little things, like X11 forwarding just refusing to work properly, ssh sessions not disconnecting etc
[13:43:18] fryfrog: i think (and long before ubuntu) that debian has the best package system out there
[13:43:39] fryfrog: the annoying little things!
[13:43:48] fryfrog: the one thing i haven't had any luck with in gentoo or ubuntu is xvmc though!
[13:44:01] fryfrog: i can't get myth to *not* stutter and go slow, but mplayer seems to work fine
[13:44:16] fryfrog: there is getting it, and i don't have any of that :/
[13:44:23] planktonboy: gotta go shopping again...thanks guys and cya later on
[13:44:58] gbee: hmm, I like Mandriva's – in particular I'm comfortable with urpmi, but then there are a couple of apt things I would like to see in urpmi, such as a full accounting of disk space used/freed when installing and updating packages
[13:45:33] ivor: I think you mentioned before... what video card for xvmc?

[14:28:53] ferguscan: Is it necessary to remote-mount a filesystem to access my videos and recorded programs from a remote front end? Or should the access of these files be taken care of by myth's own protocols?

[14:29:56] gbee: ferguscan: for recordings no
[14:30:29] gbee: for mythmusic, yes, for now you need to use nfs/smb and I think the same is still true of mythvideo
[14:30:41] ferguscan: gbee, thanks.
[14:32:13] gbee: by the time 0.21 is released I'll probably have switched mythmusic to access the files through uPnP and I imagine the same will be done for mythvideo
[14:32:31] Ruleke: hurrah
[14:32:36] GreyFoxx: mmmmmmmm upnp goodness
[14:33:27] GreyFoxx: should also be neat after the next xbox360 update in 2 weeksm, supposedly more generic upnp and mpeg4 playback, not just the MS wmv stuff should it could be more useful
[14:33:49] gbee: no promises ;) that's based on the assumption that 0.21 is some way off
[14:34:06] GreyFoxx: I think it is
[14:34:15] GreyFoxx: we'll see J-rod do a0.20.1 most likely
[14:34:25] anykey_: why?
[14:34:27] GreyFoxx: but 0.21 might not be for a bit
[14:34:48] GreyFoxx: anykey_: cause it's not ready and devs have lots of stuff we want to do first ?
[14:35:17] anykey_: GreyFoxx: i mean, why release 0.20.1 ;-)
[14:35:20] GreyFoxx: oh
[14:35:23] anykey_: i totaly agree with waiting for 0.21
[14:35:37] fryfrog: anykey_: for more fixes?
[14:35:38] j-rod: 0.20.1 to appease the masses or something
[14:35:39] GreyFoxx: well, lots of people are paranoid about downloading 0.20-fixes from SVN
[14:35:46] anykey_: hm
[14:36:00] j-rod: get the fixes out to more people
[14:36:05] GreyFoxx: so 0.20-fixes and a few more backported fixes will get put into a 0.20.1 maintenance release
[14:36:21] j-rod: prevent people from downloading 7mo old code and reporting bugs against it that are already fixed
[14:36:22] j-rod: etc
[14:36:25] anykey_: I can't remeber downloading anything from -fixes, but thats probably the gentoo ebuild that does this automagically...
[14:36:38] GreyFoxx: anykey_: I believe it does auto grab froim svn for you
[14:36:58] j-rod: likewise, the fedora packages track -fixes
[14:37:08] gardengnome: most packages already track fixes, i suppose.
[14:37:10] j-rod: I assume other packagers do too
[14:37:22] j-rod: assume/hope
[14:37:25] anykey_: heh
[14:37:30] GreyFoxx: grrr, I got a QAM capable card yesterday, but my scans don't see any channels at all. encrypted or not. So I imagine I'm using not using the right frequencie set, ro there is a filter on my line
[14:38:10] Ruleke: heh get an initial scan file for your area ?
[14:38:16] j-rod: GreyFoxx: trunk or -fixes?
[14:38:18] GreyFoxx: I've yet to find one
[14:38:41] GreyFoxx: j-rod: trunk, but I'm scanning via the v4l dvb tools I grabbed last night, on a 2.6.20.7 kernel
[14:38:52] j-rod: aha
[14:39:21] GreyFoxx: I figured I'd just get a preliminary idea of what I could see before I let myth scan
[14:39:27] GreyFoxx: but so far I've found nothign :)
[14:39:31] j-rod: bummer. :)
[14:39:46] j-rod: but yeah, istr finding nada if I didn't have the right freq table
[14:39:52] GreyFoxx: So it's either, poor configuration, bad cable, or a filter
[14:40:06] GreyFoxx: I saw a guy on the -users list who has the same card, and is also on my cable provider
[14:40:14] GreyFoxx: I might email him and ask what he used :)
[14:40:20] j-rod: what card and provider?
[14:40:32] janneg: GreyFoxx: afaik is the atsc scan from dvb-apps broken
[14:40:36] GreyFoxx: AverMedia A180 ATSC/QAM card, provider is Eastlink

[14:42:12] j-rod: janneg: so speaking of 0.20.1... what else do we need/want to get taken care of?
[14:42:35] GreyFoxx: I already put in the simple mythgame fix I wanted in there
[14:42:56] janneg: j-rod: I want to fix the channels.conf import
[14:43:07] anykey_: j-rod: put the fix for the dvd menus in mythvideo in ;-) the one that fixes the button overlays
[14:43:23] GreyFoxx: What fix is that ?
[14:43:36] GreyFoxx: the off by a few pixels thing ?

[15:28:26] gbee: Beirdo: hmm, that could have been it – I was exporting a folder within that partition but didn't remember until you suggested it
[15:29:33] Beirdo: same goes for if you have something loop mounted on the FS (or had, and losetup still has it mapped)

[15:37:25] Beirdo: workin on testing a change to the bot code that will make it explicitly ping the mysql server after 1h+ of idle on the mysql connection
[15:38:16] Beirdo: hopefully that will fix the issue xris has been seeing
[15:38:27] Beirdo: but first I gotta make sure the code works before I check it in :)
[15:38:44] kormoc|zzz: heh, nice :)
[15:40:35] Beirdo: ahhhh, I think I know WHY it happens
[15:40:41] kormoc|zzz: yeah?
[15:40:59] Beirdo: the wait_timeout option for mysqld.... if the connection's idle for x amount of time, it will disconnect you
[15:41:04] Beirdo: from the server end
[15:41:09] ** kormoc|zzz nods **
[15:41:27] Beirdo: which is sensible, as the server doesn't need millions of idle clients hanging on forever
[15:41:45] Beirdo: now why the reconnect option doesn't actually reconnect like it says it should? dunno
[15:41:56] Beirdo: chock it up to bad coding my mysql people, I guess
[15:42:28] ** kormoc|zzz nods **
[15:42:41] Beirdo: wonder what the default is on that
[15:42:52] Beirdo: and I wonder if the client can ask the server what that's set to?
[15:42:58] kormoc|zzz: likely
[15:43:04] kormoc|zzz: SELECT @@varname;
[15:44:17] Beirdo: 28800, it seems to be

[15:46:16] Beirdo: perfect

[16:01:44] Beirdo: I think you need X libraries, but I don't think you need an X display locally as long as you have one elsewhere that you can use during setup
[16:02:00] Beirdo: i.e. DISPLAY=whereever:0.0 mythtv-setup or whatever

[16:03:41] Beirdo: the setup has to be run on the backend machine.
[16:03:55] janneg: no, the setup need direct hardware access
[16:03:57] Beirdo: but the display part of the setup can be directed to another machine
[16:04:04] goreguts: ok ok
[16:04:12] goreguts: i'll have to try that out
[16:04:42] S2: is someoen here using sasc?
[16:04:50] goreguts: what would i have to do to the other machine to tell it that the backend wants to use its display?
[16:05:08] Beirdo: S2: not allowed here, move along
[16:05:40] Beirdo: goreguts, xhost + should do it (and allow from any other machine too, be careful)
[16:05:54] goreguts: alright, thanks dude
[16:05:59] Beirdo: or just xhost + backendmachine

[17:17:45] Cyberai: I'm having a weird problem

[17:19:48] Cyberai: but I can't change channels
[17:20:44] fryfrog: do you ahve the 6200ch program?
[17:20:58] Cyberai: fryfrog, I tried using "6200ch <channel no", and it says it can't find the STB
[17:21:00] fryfrog: or... if you don't use 6200ch you'd probably need to modify the script a little
[17:21:08] fryfrog: ah, what kind of STB do you have?
[17:22:13] Cyberai: Motorola DCT6416
[17:22:15] fryfrog: i had a "newish" DCT6412 and had to add its info to 6200ch.c
[17:22:26] fryfrog: ah, humm that is even newzorer
[17:22:38] fryfrog: have you tried the 6200ch from svn head perhaps?
[17:22:43] fryfrog: also, firewire_tester from head
[17:23:28] Cyberai: well, here's the really odd thing. When I was running MythDora (fed core 5 w/myth), I could change the channel sometimes. Now that I went to fed core 6 with myth I get nothing at all

[17:34:39] fryfrog: i've got recordings going now, so i can't fuck with my firewire boxes
[17:35:07] fryfrog: does anyone know how to get the brand/make/model number info that is used by 6200ch (and myth) for channel changing?
[17:35:22] fryfrog: it isn't in plugreport, do you have "gscanbus" on your system?

[18:31:18] xzcvczxx: fryfrog: well its mainly because my mythvideo dir has no room left
[18:31:22] xzcvczxx: go to hell
[18:31:25] xzcvczxx: i want T
[18:31:27] fryfrog: hehe
[18:31:44] xzcvczxx: is your myth running throught a 42" plasma?
[18:31:47] fryfrog: what is the best $/G drives now? 400G or is it up to 500G?
[18:31:49] fryfrog: no :(
[18:31:57] fryfrog: 30" WS Sony Tube
[18:31:59] fryfrog: HD
[18:31:59] xzcvczxx: 320's are here
[18:32:10] xzcvczxx: yeah see i have a hd 42" plasma running at 1024x768
[18:32:28] fryfrog: 320's were the sweet spot like 6+ mo ago, but last i looked 400G was so close that it was not important
[18:32:32] fryfrog: is that WS?
[18:32:43] xzcvczxx: WS?
[18:32:48] fryfrog: cause if it is, i think you mean 1280x768 (or you need to fix your resolution)
[18:32:50] fryfrog: widescreen
[18:32:52] xris: ws == widescreen
[18:33:10] xzcvczxx: yeah but for some reason 1024x768 looks right on it

[18:33:43] fryfrog: you should lookup the native res for the tv, but you probably need to switch to a 16:9 resoolution and fix the display size
[18:34:01] fryfrog: or maybe you need to pick a "wide" myth theme?
[18:34:29] fryfrog: maybe you've activated your tv's zoom or stretch mode too?
[18:35:15] fryfrog: also, I still have room for 2x more 320G drives
[18:35:19] fryfrog: that'd put me over 2TB :)
[18:35:29] fryfrog: well, prolly real close to or over 2TB :)
[18:36:08] ** xzcvczxx shoots fryfrog and steals his hdds **
[18:36:26] fryfrog: ahha
[18:38:04] juski: bit weevil food :)
[18:39:52] ** xzcvczxx really needs a new computer **
[18:40:08] fryfrog: if it makes you feel better, its just running on an old dual P4 2.4ghz
[18:40:44] xzcvczxx: juski: your neon theme looks much better on the tv than it does on my laptop screen :)
[18:41:00] xzcvczxx: fryfrog: yeah mine is on a 1.3 single
[18:49:07] xzcvczxx: hmmm cant find the manual for the tv to check the native resolutions
[18:49:34] fryfrog: search on the internets for the model number

[18:53:13] fryfrog: is 1024x768 what *X* detects?
[18:53:21] fryfrog: cause... TVs and X detection is *crap*
[18:53:32] fryfrog: mine detects my 1280x768 Sony as like... 800x600 :p
[18:53:38] fryfrog: I have to tell it to ignore EDID
[18:53:49] xzcvczxx: yeah i dont get it doing auto either
[18:53:53] xzcvczxx: TH-42PV60A
[18:54:09] fryfrog: what brand?
[18:54:23] xzcvczxx: panasonic
[18:54:42] fryfrog: it has an HDMI port?
[18:55:03] xzcvczxx: 2
[18:55:32] fryfrog: The TH-42PV60A can display high definition images, with a resolution of 1024x768 pixels.
[18:55:41] fryfrog: as weird as it is, looks like you are right about its native resolution possibly
[18:55:52] xzcvczxx: looks damn wide though
[18:55:55] fryfrog: you *might* want to grab a cheap ($5–10) DVI -> HDMI cable, if you can
[18:56:04] xzcvczxx: i am just waiting for the manual pdf to load
[18:56:26] xzcvczxx: why whats better about hdmi then just plugging it in directly trhought vga?
[18:56:39] fryfrog: nope, it isn't widescreen
[18:56:53] xzcvczxx: yeah
[18:56:53] fryfrog: 1020mm / 705mm it says
[18:56:59] xzcvczxx: oh ok
[18:57:15] ** xzcvczxx feels stupid now **
[18:57:19] fryfrog: though i'm sure that is the *case* dimensions
[18:57:23] fryfrog: it looks WS to me too :p
[18:57:38] fryfrog: DVI / HDMI is a digital signal, it *might* look better :)
[18:57:49] fryfrog: though at only 1024x768, it probably wouldn't matter
[18:57:57] fryfrog: so the TV has a VGA port too?
[18:58:05] xzcvczxx: oh ok well when i get a new computer i will get one with dvi and get a dvi -> hdmi converter
[18:58:08] xzcvczxx: yup it does

[18:58:45] fryfrog: i didn't think you could even get a video card that didn't have one of each :)
[18:58:46] xzcvczxx: its a mini-itx box
[18:58:55] fryfrog: fuhgedaboudit then :)

[18:59:02] xzcvczxx: lol
[18:59:21] xzcvczxx: i hate my interenet
[18:59:32] fryfrog: in *theory* it should look better since the set itself has to convert the analog back to digital
[19:00:03] fryfrog: so remove the d->a->d step and maybe it looks better!
[19:01:01] xzcvczxx: oh yup
[19:01:33] xzcvczxx: screen is 920x518mm

[19:02:25] fryfrog: i think i reversed the dimensions when i did my calculation :p
[19:02:35] fryfrog: like it was standingon end
[19:02:36] xzcvczxx: yeah it is 16x9
[19:02:48] fryfrog: why the hell does it have a 1024x768 resolution then
[19:02:53] xzcvczxx: they just fudge it so that its 1024x768 @ 16x9
[19:02:57] fryfrog: that is 1.3333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333
[19:03:05] fryfrog: weird :p

[19:03:45] xzcvczxx: oh well 1024x768 is good enuff for me
[19:05:01] fryfrog: do they call it an "HD" tv?
[19:05:07] fryfrog: cause, technically isn't that EDTV?
[19:05:18] xzcvczxx: hmmmm anyone have any idea how i can "hide" my plasma
[19:05:21] ivor: ah the lovely term "HD Ready"
[19:05:38] xzcvczxx: nah its no HD ready
[19:05:47] xzcvczxx: it is called an hdtv
[19:05:56] xzcvczxx: s/no/not
[19:06:18] fryfrog: ivor: HD Ready refers to something else
[19:06:31] fryfrog: it means it is an "HD Monitor" in that it doesn't have a built in HD *tuner*
[19:06:43] fryfrog: and is meant to recieve an HD signal via component, vga or dvi/hdmi
[19:07:01] fryfrog: nothing wrong with hd ready, it is what *most* people need/use
[19:07:27] xzcvczxx: this tv upscales dvds and stuff

[21:28:13] SlicerDicer-: I am trying to figure out why its only taking up a small box in the screen when I set it to 1080i or 720p?
[21:28:21] juski: hadees: cos they're only sdtv & look crappy scaled to hd resolution?

[21:29:20] zdzisekg: question, when watching live tv, if I try to record something, after I get out of livetv, the recording aborts. is this a bug? I'm on latest trunk
[21:29:26] hadees: juski, i know that but can a air2pc get sdtv?
[21:29:28] juski: hadees: YMMV with QAM on cable
[21:29:36] SlicerDicer-: Tanthrix: I am trying to figure out why it wont fill the screen
[21:29:54] juski: hadees: not through the same interface as the HDTV – the analogue side of it is a framegrabber (boo, hiss!)
[21:29:56] Tanthrix: SlicerDicer-: And you're sure that it's actually outputting correctly?
[21:30:17] Tanthrix: SlicerDicer-: Nvidia cards will automatically choose a resolution that works if what you give it does not.
[21:30:29] hadees: juski, oh so what i am seeing while watching tv is just a framer grabber
[21:30:35] SlicerDicer-: Tanthrix: maybe not?
[21:30:57] hadees: juski, i thought it might have switched me to my other tuner
[21:31:01] juski: hadees: not if you're using the same input as you would for HD
[21:31:15] juski: and if you've not configured the analogue side, definitely not!
[21:31:46] Tanthrix: SlicerDicer-: Doesen't quite explain the scaling, but it's something to check. Check your xorg log to make sure the mode you're giving it is actually working.

[21:32:37] SlicerDicer-: samsung HLT4675S
[21:32:52] juski: hadees: yeah you would have to configure the analogue side as a different tuner & probably different video source too
[21:33:01] Tanthrix: SlicerDicer-: Native 720P resolution? And you're using DVI?
[21:33:22] juski: hadees: in all probability it's just digital SDTV you're getting which will be why it looks so inferior to HD

[21:33:56] zdzisekg: SlicerDicer: with the nvidia binary drivers, you can run the X with --logverbose 6 and it will tell you everything you need to know about modelines for your tv
[21:34:08] SlicerDicer-: (WW) NVIDIA(0): No valid modes for "720p"; removing.
[21:34:13] SlicerDicer-: thats the main problem Tanthrix
[21:34:26] juski: hadees: not all cable channels you can get thru QAM are HDTV. not all of the digital streams are HD over the air either AFAIK
[21:34:29] hadees: juski, i guess not =(
[21:34:43] hadees: juski, yeah i know
[21:34:50] Tanthrix: SlicerDicer-: Yah, so the scaling might go away when you actually get it working.
[21:35:02] juski: so that will no doubt be why some channels look inferior to others. it'll be that they're SD, not HD
[21:35:32] SlicerDicer-: Tanthrix: I just dont know how to get hte modelines
[21:35:34] juski: hadees: sounds plausible
[21:35:34] roger55: I've read that with some dvb cards you can set the capture resolution – how is that done?
[21:35:36] Tanthrix: SlicerDicer-: You shouldn't need modelines for doing component out as I understand it, so something else is weird.
[21:35:40] juski: roger55: you can't
[21:35:47] Tanthrix: SlicerDicer-: Pastebin your xorg.conf
[21:36:17] roger55: juski, ah so that must be some cards that do hardware mpeg2 encoding of analogue sources where you can set something.
[21:36:19] juski: roger55: wherever you read that was likely talking about the analogue inputs of dvb cards
[21:36:27] roger55: :)
[21:36:32] juski: there are very few dvb tuners which do analogue hardware encoding
[21:36:50] juski: the majority of dvb cards which do analogue are framegrabbers too
[21:37:56] roger55: what about when transcoding?
[21:38:00] juski: nope
[21:38:15] ** roger55 is asking the wrong questions tonight :) **
[21:38:29] juski: everybody should speak English – problem solved :)
[21:38:31] hadees: juski, do you know why i might be getting "Error was encountered while displaying video" when going to some of the channels i just scanned for? do you have to do something to have mythfrontend be able to display hdtv? I thought it would just use the cpu to decode it and thats all

[21:39:05] Tanthrix: SlicerDicer-: Looks good to me. Start x with verbose logging then post your xorg log
[21:39:18] SlicerDicer-: Tanthrix: upgrading nvidia driver hang on
[21:39:22] juski: hadees: no idea. too tired to start digging through yo logs.. but then that's what _you_ need to be doing to find out what's going on. Oh and testing the HD tuning with an app other than mythtv to verify it's all sweet _first_
[21:39:48] juski: ALWAYS test the tuner hardware outside mythtv first!
[21:40:08] juski: cos then if it dunt work, what's to blame? mythtv.. or the driver, or... ????
[21:40:16] juski: anyway...

[21:42:44] SlicerDicer-: and defaulting to 800x600
[21:42:53] Tanthrix: SlicerDicer-: Are you starting X with verbose logging?

[21:46:14] SlicerDicer-: says same thing Tanthrix in /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[21:46:40] Tanthrix: Er, "startx --logverbose 6"
[21:47:14] SlicerDicer-: still same thing
[21:47:20] SlicerDicer-: nothing different when it goes to load it
[21:47:28] SlicerDicer-: 5 lines
[21:47:38] SlicerDicer-: no valid mode
[21:47:44] SlicerDicer-: unable to validate any modes
[21:47:50] SlicerDicer-: nvidia-auto-select
[21:47:51] Tanthrix: Something isn't right – it should be saying a lot more with logverbose
[21:47:54] SlicerDicer-: validated modes blah blah
[21:48:04] SlicerDicer-: I am quite sure its a missing modeline
[21:48:19] SlicerDicer-: everytime I have set it up with any other tv this has happend when I did not have modelines
[21:48:24] SlicerDicer-: not HD but
[21:48:33] SlicerDicer-: or horz/vert refresh
[21:48:35] zdzisekg: SlicerDicer: run `X --logverbose 6 > x.log' then paste the x.log file to pastebin. I can have a look
[21:49:26] SlicerDicer-: blank
[21:49:38] SlicerDicer-: err sorry did not do X
[21:49:56] SlicerDicer-: but then again X does not know what --logverbose is :P it needs to be -logverbose
[21:49:57] Tanthrix: SlicerDicer-: Are you sure about modelines and such? Component doesn't provide any way of figuring out what the TV can do or not, so as far as I know 720P component is 720P component
[21:50:23] kormoc: isn't it startx — -logverbose 6?
[21:50:30] SlicerDicer-: it aint spitting anything into the friggin file
[21:50:31] SlicerDicer-: lol
[21:50:32] Tanthrix: SlicerDicer-: Not like DVI with EDID and such, so the device connecting to the TV can determine things about the TV
[21:50:47] SlicerDicer-: Tanthrix: hell if I know :)
[21:50:52] SlicerDicer-: I dont know how to do this I usually read wikis
[21:50:53] SlicerDicer-: haha
[21:50:56] SlicerDicer-: or something
[21:51:04] kormoc: the — tells startx that the stuff following is for X not startx, and then X's command line option is -logverbose

[21:53:19] SlicerDicer-: modeline did nothing
[21:53:22] zdzisekg: SlicerDicer: here's a modeline I use for my Samsung DLP. perhaps try it
[21:53:24] ivor: ah which apparently doesn't work with the nvidia driver.
[21:53:26] ivor: hmm
[21:53:38] ivor: Tanthrix: ta.
[21:53:40] kormoc: SlicerDicer-, did you run with the — -log option?
[21:53:53] Tanthrix: Does anyone know for sure that modelines can be used with component out?
[21:53:54] zdzisekg: wrong modelin: try this
[21:54:19] kormoc: Tanthrix, modelines can always be used, but it's tricky
[21:54:52] Tanthrix: kormoc: It just doesn't make a lot of sense to me, since it's analog and there's no 2 way communication going on.
[21:54:53] fryfrog: modelines are like sneaking in the back door, you gotta be sneaky!
[21:55:17] SlicerDicer-: tanks zdzisekg
[21:55:19] fryfrog: Tanthrix: the mode line sets things *exactly*, so it doesn't *need* two way communication
[21:55:20] kormoc: Tanthrix, VGA is analog
[21:55:42] SlicerDicer-: no dice zdzisekg
[21:55:47] kormoc: Tanthrix, the entire point of a mode line is to yeah, take the guesswork out of it all
[21:55:50] kormoc: SlicerDicer-, what's the issue?
[21:56:06] eelriver_ (eelriver_!n=eelriver@pdpc/supporter/active/eelriver) has quit ("Leaving")
[21:56:11] zdzisekg: keep in mind that nvidia binery drivers will try to use eveything else and as last resort will fail back to the modeline in xorg.conf
[21:56:23] ivor: "Additionally, the NVIDIA driver contains a hardcoded list of mode sizes that it can drive for each combination of TV encoder and TV standard. Therefore, custom modelines in your X configuration file are ignored for TVs."
[21:56:30] SlicerDicer-: kormoc its putting it in a box
[21:56:42] SlicerDicer-: zdzisekg: can you paste your xorg.conf at rafb.net/paste or something
[21:56:50] SlicerDicer-: kormoc tiny box resolution 800x600
[21:57:04] SlicerDicer-: not 1024x720
[21:57:09] Tanthrix: So the question is, why does a 30 dollar dvd player work out of the box everytime with component output? It seems to me that they are simple standards there
[21:57:17] ivor: you need to get the Xorg log somehow. it should list the names and modes available.
[21:57:26] Tanthrix: Compared to say, VGA, which is used for all sorts of resolutions and such.
[21:57:41] Tanthrix: or DVI for that matter

[21:58:28] SlicerDicer-: crap I will just go buy one if thats the case...
[21:58:45] SlicerDicer-: kormoc
[21:58:48] SlicerDicer-: damn it
[21:58:49] Tanthrix: SlicerDicer-: Possibly since your set is native 720P, but not necessarely
[21:59:12] SlicerDicer-: kormoc its saying no valid modes
[21:59:18] SlicerDicer-: and defaulting to 800x600
[21:59:37] kormoc: got a log up somewhere?
[21:59:57] SlicerDicer-: nvm I was being a dipshit
[21:59:59] SlicerDicer-: its working

[22:00:26] SlicerDicer-: ahh I am usto it

[22:00:56] SlicerDicer-: errr
[22:01:00] ** SlicerDicer- hides at his problem **
[22:01:03] SlicerDicer-: it was stupid
[22:01:05] SlicerDicer-: however!
[22:01:08] Tanthrix: You have to tell us.
[22:01:10] SlicerDicer-: I did follow a wiki that screwed me up
[22:01:15] Tanthrix: By law, since we've been helping you.

[22:01:30] SlicerDicer-: '1280x720_60' changed to '1280x720'
[22:02:17] SlicerDicer-: now I just got to fix the overscan

[22:02:27] zdzisekg: 5:00 PM. got to go. later
