[00:12:20] | fxfitz: | Hello! I'm looking to install Myth TV on my Ubuntu desktop, but I do not have a TV tuner. I'm wondering if anyone suggests any particular card that doesn't cost too much and is known to work, and hopefully comes with a remote. |
[00:13:12] | kormoc: | fxfitz, pvr 150 |
[00:13:57] | fxfitz: | kormoc, One thing that I was interested in was TV-Out. Are there any cards that support that as well??? |
[00:14:18] | kormoc: | just grab a nvidia gfx card |
[00:15:10] | fxfitz: | But I'm not looking for something too expensive. I don't want to go buying a new video card as well as a TV tuner. :( |
[00:15:45] | kormoc: | the only tv card with tv out is the pvr 350, which is more costly then a nvidia + pvr 150, and won't do a lot of stuff |
[00:16:12] | fxfitz: | Oooooh, okay. :-P |
[00:16:26] | fxfitz: | Hehe. Do you recommend any Nvidia cards too? :-P |
[00:16:50] | kormoc: | I use a 6200 for my main mythbox, works fine |
[00:17:01] | kormoc: | 5200 or newer should work fine |
[00:17:46] | fxfitz: | kormoc, http://www.hauppauge.com/pages/products/data_pvr150.html  ;— It looks like that it has S-Video... |
[00:17:56] | kormoc: | input, yes |

[01:21:15] | Dagmar: | I mean, 640,60 80x80 should really be within the viewable area |
[01:21:18] | Dagmar: | 800x600 |
[01:21:21] | Dagmar: | er sd |
[01:21:44] | Dagmar: | I thought for a moment it might scale for the screen res in use, but that would just mean it would still be visible, since I'm running at 1024x768 |
[01:22:00] | Dagmar: | ...trying to find some hints about fademovement now |
[01:22:06] | kormoc: | try setting it to 100x100 and see where it ends up |
[01:22:29] | Anduin: | 640 x is very close, you are aiming for the right edge? |
[01:23:05] | Dagmar: | 640 puts it at farx-(farx/10*2) |
[01:23:23] | Dagmar: | I'm aiming to have it bump the right edge of the safe title area |
[01:23:27] | Dagmar: | er bumper |
[01:23:50] | Dagmar: | Are the OSD coordinates not based on the usual aspect for sd? |

[01:26:14] | Dagmar: | From adjusting align the bounding box appears to be the expected size... |
[01:27:15] | Dagmar: | THis is freaking based on 640x480 or something |

[01:58:36] | Dagmar: | That really just should not be that way. BOth OSD and menu themes should use the same size grid |
[02:00:29] | GreyFoxx: | Yeah, seems to me that when I first started making Gray-OSD that threw me off too |
[02:00:49] | Dagmar: | WEll, I'm just irked because it means the theme elements are going to be 2x scaled for me |
[02:00:55] | Dagmar: | ...meaning they're probably going to look blurry |
[02:01:14] | Dagmar: | ...or at least more blurry than what happens with the menu theme graphics |

[02:27:19] | Captain_Murdoch: | GreyFoxx: you still around? did you ever have any issues with the audio volume on the RM4100? I've adjusted everything up to max and it's still quite low. tried it on a pair of external amplified computer speekers and my bedroom TV and still the same. |

[02:40:28] | GreyFoxx: | Captain_Murdoch: USed alsamixer to push it all up ? I ran into that at first but just used alsamixer to max all of the outputs |
[02:41:42] | Captain_Murdoch: | yeah, pretty sure. I pushed them up, saved the output config and just load that in my .xinitrc. I'll doublecheck, maybe I used amixer, can't recall off the top of my head, just wanted to ask since I saw you post a while ago. :) thanks. |
[02:46:56] | GreyFoxx: | I used alsamixer, pused them up and then just alsactl store to save it |
[02:49:01] | Captain_Murdoch: | odd, alsamixer won't run, amixer did though and there were a couple that were lower than I thought. I bumped them up and verified the .aumixrc has the maxxed values now. my alsa config must not be setup right. I created this nfsroot off my wife's system, so I might not have configured something correctly with that when I setup sound for the RM4100. |
[02:49:38] | Captain_Murdoch: | I'll check into it thought. just wanted to make sure there wasnt' something like the msntv-on program. :) |

[02:57:47] | GreyFoxx: | Use to have to flip a bit on the super controller just like for controlling the LED's in order to enable audio outputs :) |

[05:49:49] | charlieS: | yeah.. 10G is the mac right now. but wave division multiplexing allows multiple 10G links over the same fiber. |
[05:50:02] | charlieS: | s/mac/max |
[05:50:20] | Mattwj2005: | yeah in the field at least |
[05:50:20] | kormoc: | which is why you need a I2 link, http://www.internet2.edu/lsr/ |
[05:50:27] | charlieS: | anyway.. tell me how to get the full channel listings after I stupidly deleted them :P |
[05:50:56] | kormoc: | 80 gigabit a second |
[05:51:05] | charlieS: | kormoc: it's not as great as it sounds. and the NLR (national lamdba rail) is better anyway. |
[05:51:12] | Mattwj2005: | buy an OCM 192 |
[05:51:31] | Mattwj2005: | build a fast large computer cluster |
[05:51:39] | Mattwj2005: | build a seach engine :) |
[05:51:46] | charlieS: | sure I2 has high speeds... but no content there. Thought I do find some good torrents every once in a while :) |
[05:52:06] | Mattwj2005: | lol |
[05:52:15] | charlieS: | though* ..argh |
[05:52:19] | kormoc: | I2 has more content then NLR, more universities :P |
[05:52:26] | Mattwj2005: | make sure you accidently have an access point open too ;) |
[05:53:01] | charlieS: | ivtv seg faults when you give it unexpected arguments (like, leave out an equals sign).. wtf is wrong with people? These are fundamental problems – of 20 years ago! |
[05:53:05] | Mattwj2005: | heck better yet give your neighborhood free wifi |
[05:53:07] | charlieS: | ivtvctl, that is. |
[05:53:19] | kormoc: | charlieS, feel free to fix it |

[05:53:48] | kormoc: | charlieS, so does everyone else, so might not want to bitch bout your free software |
[05:54:12] | charlieS: | bitching is fine, especially when there's POOR programming afoot. |
[05:54:28] | charlieS: | don't get me started on lirc.. |
[05:54:32] | kormoc: | charlieS, so don't use it if it's so poor |
[05:54:39] | charlieS: | heh |

[05:54:59] | Mattwj2005: | :S |
[05:55:16] | kormoc: | and in any case, this isn't the proper place to bitch about things, so don't |
[05:55:18] | Mattwj2005: | what is a Mail Dvi Inline Adapte |
[05:55:24] | charlieS: | lol, that'ss awesome |

[07:43:55] | kormoc: | he's lonely |
[07:44:02] | samesame: | i could run mythtv on xen dom0 and i could run other software like postfix, bind on xen domu to keep things seperate |
[07:44:33] | kormoc: | yeah, so? |
[07:44:46] | samesame: | postfix and bind dont need x so i can save memory |
[07:44:59] | samesame: | so that means i have 2 machines on 1 server |
[07:45:15] | kormoc: | yeah, so? |
[07:45:35] | samesame: | i was told that mythtv behaves better if its not mixed with other processes, so seperating like this is the way to go |
[07:46:00] | samesame: | this is powerful stuff |
[07:46:03] | kormoc: | other machines still count as other processes |
[07:46:22] | samesame: | yes but at least they are seperate |
[07:46:28] | kormoc: | they arn't |
[07:46:33] | hads: | That advise is dubious anyway though. It would be up to you to test out for yourself. |

[07:47:31] | hads: | no |
[07:47:54] | samesame: | somone told me here that you should only run mythtv only on the box, nothing else otherwise its possible mythtv will skip frames? |
[07:48:16] | kormoc: | if it skips frames with the stuff on the same machine, adding in virtual machines won't keep it from skipping frames |
[07:48:19] | hads: | 19:46:33 < hads> That advise is dubious anyway though. It would be up to you to test out for yourself. |
[07:48:26] | samesame: | ok |
[07:48:38] | samesame: | what kind of software have u got running along mythtv? |
[07:48:44] | kormoc: | yes, depending on the load, things can cause frame skipping |
[07:48:53] | samesame: | i was thinking about installing asterisk + postfix + bind and maybe squid |
[07:48:56] | hads: | Putting a question mark on the end of a sentance isn't the only thing that is required to make a question. |
[07:49:45] | SiD3WiNDR: | hmm |
[07:49:49] | samesame: | if your processor can handle the load there shouldnt be a problem |
[07:49:50] | kormoc: | samesame, the other software doesn't matter, all that matters is the disk io, cpu time, and memory requirements of the other software |

[07:50:15] | hads: | Yup |

[08:57:55] | Sid`: | i'm in Australia, dunno what they call em in the US |
[08:58:19] | Sid`: | but an RCD is a device that checks for current leakage to earth, and trips if it sees any ('safety switch, etc') |
[08:58:24] | Sid`: | stands for 'residual current device' |

[13:42:01] | Pete_: | I know mythfrontend can rip cd's, but is there a plugin just for dumb cd playback? |
[13:42:35] | directhex|work: | mythmusic will do cd playback, but it's not enormously dumb |
[13:44:02] | Pete_: | Not something I personally use, just some people are looking for cd playback similar to dvd playback, ie put the disc in and off it goes. Sorry for being lazy and asking ;) |
[13:45:32] | directhex|work: | you could misappropriate the VCD playback option at a stretch (make it launch a cd player app instead of vcd player) |
[13:46:54] | Pete_: | It'd really need to be something inside myth, this is a computer in the kitchen, mainly controlled by a remote. |
[13:48:25] | Zider: | CDDA playback belongs more in "optical disk" menu than mythmusic.. imo :P |
[13:48:50] | Pete_: | Thats where I looked at first |

[14:17:29] | gbee: | under the general settings of mythmusic is the option to auto play a CD, you also need the 'Monitor CD/DVD' option enabled in mythtv's general settings |
[14:18:53] | Pete_: | I know I have "Monitor CD/DVD" enabled, as dvds auto play, just waiting for it to update my collection before I can do anything else.. |
[14:21:18] | gbee: | it could be faster/smoother, will take a look at that now that I've noticed the issue |

[14:28:06] | Pete_: | "Searching for music files.." followed by "Updating music database" just to play a cd? (or am I missing something_ |
[14:28:08] | Pete_: | )* |
[14:29:40] | gbee: | Pete_: only does that once |
[14:30:23] | gbee: | the first time you use mythmusic it loads the list of available tracks into the database, which is extremely slow with 0.20, a lot faster in SVN |
[14:45:52] | Kevorkian: | is lircd generally considered 'stable' .. im using a pvr 250 and a happauge grey remote and it works great ... sometimes .. |
[14:46:33] | directhex|work: | lirc is "mature" software |
[14:47:27] | TSCHAKWerk: | yes, but there seems to be an argument over the quality of the code |
[14:48:48] | Kevorkian: | This is weird .. in myth it works only when it wants to .. lke I can press up a few times and it doesnt register .. but then other times it works fine .. but if I drop back to a shell .. all the number keys work perfect .. |
[14:49:01] | Kevorkian: | I have been unable to figure out where the issue is |
[14:49:30] | Kevorkian: | the keyboard on the box controls myth fine .. even when the remote dont want to work |
[14:52:26] | Kevorkian: | lircd should simply take the remote keypresses and present them to the shell ( or app ) as if they were normal keystrokes ?? |
[14:59:55] | sphery: | Kevorkian: what remote? |
[15:00:28] | Kevorkian: | happauage grey .. into a pvr250 |
[15:00:39] | sphery: | infra-red, then, right? |
[15:00:43] | Kevorkian: | yea |
[15:01:09] | sphery: | OK. I'd have useful comments if it were radio-frequency, but none for that... |
[15:01:11] | directhex|work: | Kevorkian, lircd doesn't quite do that – it runs its own protocol which apps need to understand (it does NOT just present keystrokes, as standard |
[15:02:48] | sphery: | Kevorkian: I recommend running irw (while also running Myth). It will be just another "client" on the lircd socket and will show you when a remote button press is received. |
[15:02:56] | Kevorkian: | hmmm .. directhex|work .. Perhaps something is missconfigured then .. if I do open a shell .. and press teh numbers on the remote .. I get them on teh command line as if it was typed on a keyboard |
[15:03:01] | sphery: | Chances are LIRC isn't "getting" the button presses.... |
[15:03:31] | directhex|work: | Kevorkian, that sounds VERY strange. can you pastebin your lircrc? |
[15:06:03] | Kevorkian: | sure .. its stock knoppmyth tho .. I have made no changes to it myself .. other then whatever knopp made during its install ... http://pastebin.ca/558861 |
[15:06:17] | sphery: | The most likely reason for LIRC to miss a button press is due to timing issues (which can affect serial receivers, but I don't know if it affects the i2c receivers), i.e. from using kernel's CONFIG_HZ of 100 or 250. You should use 1000 for a Myth box. |
[15:06:49] | sphery: | When Myth misses a button press, you don't see it in irw, right? |
[15:07:40] | Kevorkian: | correct .. however .. I have seen myth react to a keypress that I have missed in irw |
[15:07:41] | directhex|work: | nothing in that lircrc suggests anyting should be appearing in a console to me :x |
[15:08:27] | sphery: | Oh... I think that's the issue... |
[15:08:45] | sphery: | Sounds like the kernel's keyboard driver for the Hauppauge remote is loaded... |
[15:10:00] | Kevorkian: | hmmm |
[15:10:27] | Kevorkian: | so how do I make that go away ? |
[15:10:46] | sphery: | I can't remember the name of the module... What do you get from /sbin/lsmod |
[15:11:42] | Kevorkian: | ir_kbd_i2c 10640 1 saa7134 ??? could that be it ? |
[15:11:48] | sphery: | that's it... |
[15:11:48] | directhex|work: | that's a tv tuner |
[15:11:53] | sphery: | You'll need to blacklist it |
[15:11:57] | directhex|work: | no wait, i was looking at te wrong column |
[15:12:20] | ** sphery doesn't know how to blacklist modules on KnoppMyth... ** | |
[15:12:21] | Kevorkian: | the reciver is built into the tuner card |
[15:12:44] | sphery: | Yeah. directhex|work saw the saa7134 and missed the ir_kbd_i2c |
[15:13:48] | The_Ball (The_Ball!n=alex@122-148-187-181.static.dsl.dodo.com.au) has quit (Remote closed the connection) | |
[15:14:01] | Kevorkian: | so how would I simply unload it ? |

[15:14:24] | mkrufky (mkrufky!n=mk@unaffiliated/mkrufky) has joined #mythtv-users | |
[15:14:26] | fysafysa: | which remote is it? |
[15:14:26] | sphery: | (as root/with sudo/whatever) |
[15:14:59] | Kevorkian: | happauage grey fysafysa |
[15:15:00] | sphery: | Hauppauge remote. He wants to use LIRC (and I don't blame him because it's much more powerful). |
[15:15:06] | mkrufky: | where is the *official* place to submit feature requests? or should i just say it here, for conversation's sake? |
[15:15:50] | fysafysa: | are you using a single ~/.lircrc? |
[15:15:51] | fysafysa: | begin |
[15:15:53] | fysafysa: | prog = mythtv |
[15:15:55] | fysafysa: | button = up |
[15:15:57] | fysafysa: | config = Up |
[15:15:59] | fysafysa: | repeat = 2 |
[15:16:01] | fysafysa: | delay = 1 |
[15:16:03] | fysafysa: | end |
[15:16:20] | Kevorkian: | fysafysa, the issue seems to be that it is also acting as a keyboard |
[15:16:24] | sphery: | mkrufky: http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/Feature_Wishlist |
[15:16:30] | mkrufky: | thanks, sphery |
[15:16:31] | sphery: | but you can mention it here just for fun. |
[15:16:33] | fysafysa: | if not, maybe you should try. |
[15:16:35] | mkrufky: | ok then: |
[15:16:38] | fysafysa: | mine does that too. |
[15:16:55] | fysafysa: | with the number keys.. |
[15:17:04] | mkrufky: | i want a new status flag per recording..... a flag that states whether or not the given program has yet been "VIEWED" or not |
[15:17:39] | mkrufky: | and the auto-expire feature should take "VIEWED" status into account |
[15:17:39] | sphery: | mkrufky: It's available in SVN trunk... |
[15:17:39] | fysafysa: | but I run irexec -d |
[15:17:46] | sphery: | and auto-expire will take it into account in trunk (if you tell it to do so) |
[15:18:36] | Kevorkian: | cant rmmod that driver |
[15:18:40] | Kevorkian: | ir_kbd_i2c is in use |
[15:18:43] | Kevorkian: | by the saa |
[15:18:48] | Kevorkian: | hmmm |
[15:18:50] | directhex|work: | fysafysa, welcome to 5 minutes ago – you're being counterproductive at this point |
[15:18:51] | sphery: | mkrufky: There's a "watched" flag on recordings. You can tell Myth to automatically mark a show as watched if you exit "near the end" of the recording or you can explicitly mark shows as watched. |
[15:19:02] | fysafysa: | good for me |
[15:19:15] | mkrufky: | sphery: awesome... im glad i said it here then, without sending in the feature request |
[15:19:42] | directhex|work: | Kevorkian, you'll need to unload the saa module first then. and reload it afterwards |
[15:19:45] | mkrufky: | so this "watched" flag only exists in svn for now, right? i dont think ive seen it in my atrpms 0.20 package yet |
[15:19:48] | Kevorkian: | yea fysafysa the thought is that I somehow have the happauage keyboard driver loaded .. and its interfering with the real lircd somehow |
[15:20:09] | sphery: | mkrufky: You can tell autoexpire to increase the priority of watched shows (i.e. they are expired first). You can also tell Myth to not allow re-record for autoexpired recordings that are watched (non-watched recordings that are autoexpired are always marked to allow re-record). |
[15:20:35] | directhex|work: | Kevorkian, try "echo blacklist ir_kbd_i2c >> /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist" |
[15:20:52] | mkrufky: | sphery: awesome!1 that's exactly what i want |
[15:21:00] | mkrufky: | thanks |
[15:21:29] | fysafysa: | http://ivtvdriver.org/pipermail/ivtv-users/20 . . . /006196.html |
[15:21:50] | sphery: | Kevorkian: Sorry, forgot that ir_kbd_i2c is using saa7134. You'd have to unload it (and likely through other dependencies basically all the ivtv modules), then manually load them in order... Or, blacklist hte module and let modprobe take care of it (i.e. on a reboot). |
[15:22:33] | Kevorkian: | hmmm |
[15:22:52] | Kevorkian: | file edited .. rebooting now |
[15:22:57] | sphery: | So, since it sounds like directhex|work knows how Debian-based systems blacklist, try his recommendation. THen, the easy way to relead is a reboot... |
[15:23:00] | sphery: | Cool. |
[15:23:01] | Beirdo: | hell! |
[15:23:01] | fysafysa: | you see that thread? |
[15:23:05] | Dagmar: | He should really only need to unload the keyboard driver. |
[15:23:23] | Kevorkian: | Dagmar, it woudlnt unload |
[15:23:30] | sphery: | But the saa7134 is using it... |
[15:23:31] | directhex|work: | fysafysa, would you use a small tactical nuke to kill a fly? |
[15:23:35] | Dagmar: | sphery: That's how pretty much all the distros up-to-speed on 2.6 kernels work actually |
[15:23:49] | sphery: | location is different, though... |
[15:23:56] | Dagmar: | Kevorkian: THen that's a case where you have to kill the app that's using it, or blacklist and reboot |
[15:24:06] | Kevorkian: | rebooting now |
[15:24:59] | Dagmar: | sphery: Unlike previous versions, modutils man pages now specify all the fancy stuff that used to be different between distros before |
[15:25:22] | Dagmar: | I think the idea was basically to lay down how they thought _all of it_ should work, so there wouldn't be all this distro-specific confusionj this time |
[15:25:33] | sphery: | Oh, and in IRC, it's often easiest to recommend using a tactical nuke to kill a fly, rather than explaining how to disassemble the nuke to get the piece of sheet metal to use as a flyswatter... :) |
[15:25:54] | Dagmar: | Pfff. Anything longer than two lines of instructions just confuses people |
[15:26:12] | ** sphery would be surprised if any distro "owners" actually cared how someone /else/ thought things should work... ** | |
[15:26:40] | Dagmar: | THey don't typically dork that heavily with anything that's already been carefully laid out tho |
[15:26:47] | ** Kevorkian does teh dance of joy ** | |
[15:27:32] | Dagmar: | Some of them might change file locations to comply with their idea of a filesystem standard, but they generally don't make substantive vhanges to how things that are actually working, work, because it means an instant and direct addition to their workload. |
[15:28:03] | onixian (onixian!n=xian@host-84-223-96-250.cust-adsl.tiscali.it) has joined #mythtv-users | |
[15:28:05] | Dagmar: | Bug with distro-specific stuff means someone has to spend time to fix it, then push the fix, etc etc |
[15:28:33] | Dagmar: | Bug with pristinely constructed binaries means, kick report upstream, admire bug, go back to p-diddling around |
[15:32:20] | directhex|work: | Kevorkian, solved? |
[15:32:30] | Kevorkian: | yeppers |
[15:32:33] | Kevorkian: | I think |
[15:33:25] | Kevorkian: | the orginal issue was that it would work only when it wanted to .. it seems to feel more responsive now .. so .. unless it starts being broken again this looks lke it fixed it |
[15:35:21] | sphery: | Dagmar, I'm not finding any mention of blacklisting (other than include the line "blacklist modulename") in my man 5 modprobe.conf from module-init-tools 3.2.2 (3.3 is in development, and no newer 3.2.x versions). I'm pretty sure the location of the file is still distro-specific since /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist would be used to build modprobe.conf (the only official configuration file for modprobe) dynamically. |
[15:36:01] | Kevorkian: | anyone every hear of a artec t14a mini usb hd tuner or if there is any linux support for this ? |
[15:36:40] | mkrufky: | Kevorkian: the ATSC version, or the DVB-T version? |
[15:36:41] | sphery: | Dagmar: It's not really important, but I am interested as I build my own distro and I do it differently. |
[15:37:13] | Dagmar: | It doesn't build modprobe.conf |
[15:37:24] | Kevorkian: | not sure .. mkrufky |
[15:37:33] | mkrufky: | Kevorkian: well, what country do you live in? |
[15:37:42] | Dagmar: | First paragraph in the modprobe manpage mentions /etc/modprobe.conf is the optional config file and /etc/modprobe.d is a directory for use for the same purpose |
[15:37:42] | Kevorkian: | us |
[15:37:54] | mkrufky: | Kevorkian: not supported, sorry |
[15:38:23] | mkrufky: | Kevorkian: however, i should be relatively simple to add support for that device |
[15:38:36] | Dagmar: | `man modprobe.conf` basically tells the rest of the story |
[15:38:47] | mkrufky: | i wrote to artec and asked for a sample in exchange for linux support and got no response |
[15:39:04] | mkrufky: | so, -EOUTOFLUCK for any user thats wants to use it in linux |
[15:39:11] | Kevorkian: | yea mkrufky .. should and will be are two diffrent things tho |
[15:39:40] | mkrufky: | Kevorkian: buy two, mail one to me, and it will get full linux support in 2–3 kernel versions thereafter |
[15:40:21] | Kevorkian: | Its that easy .. huh |
[15:40:30] | mkrufky: | for me it is |
[15:40:47] | mkrufky: | afaik, the only unknown in THAT device is the tuner programming |
[15:40:48] | mkrufky: | brb |
[15:40:58] | Dagmar: | mkrufky: I could make you hate that. |
[15:41:07] | Dagmar: | I've got like nine craptacular webcams here |
[15:41:26] | mkrufky: | Dagmar: huh? make me hate what? |
[15:41:36] | Dagmar: | Only two vendor/prod codes between them, but all with differently behaving chips |
[15:41:59] | Dagmar: | mkrufky: Setting up support for hardware people send you. ;) |
[15:42:20] | mkrufky: | oh |
[15:42:27] | mkrufky: | well, i am not interested in webcams to begin with |
[15:42:55] | mkrufky: | but i have code already written for most of the components of the Artec 14 ATSC unit |
[15:42:59] | sphery: | Dagmar: Thanks... I guess I should have re-read even the intro stuff. Having read it back when 2.5 was in development, I've been skipping the intro stuff figuring it's not going to change. |
[15:43:12] | gpd: | hmm. just setup my new Asus M2NPV-VM board but the onboard graphics are giving me nasty flickering on the lower half of the screen with DVI->HDMI. :( |
[15:44:02] | Kevorkian: | so what would you recomend for hdtv in the us with myth ? |
[15:44:04] | Dagmar: | sphery: I welcome a bit of uniformity in this. Oh yes |
[15:44:14] | mkrufky: | .....and i am looking for testers for my OnAir Creator driver.... in case anybody has that device and looking for linux support |
[15:44:30] | mkrufky: | Kevorkian: depends.,... do you want USB or PCI ? |
[15:44:46] | Kevorkian: | either at the moment .. I am a blank slate .. |
[15:44:55] | mkrufky: | Kevorkian: next question, do you want ONLY digital tv, or do you want analog support also ? |
[15:44:56] | Kevorkian: | usb is nice cause I could move it to something else .. |
[15:45:47] | mkrufky: | Kevorkian: I recommend the DViCO FusionHDTV 5 USB Gold. It is a USB device that supports both OTA VSB, and QAM for digital cable |
[15:46:02] | mkrufky: | Kevorkian: it has analog capabilities, but i didnt add that to the driver yet |
[15:46:59] | mkrufky: | (i forgot to ask if you'll use it with digital cable, or just OTA stuff.... if just OTA stuff, then there are even more options) |

[15:47:53] | mkrufky: | ok, well the FusionHDTV5 USB Gold is a good all-in-one usb solution |
[15:48:16] | Kevorkian: | I havent used any .. but the rumor is that my cable co encrytps EVERYTHING |
[15:48:26] | mkrufky: | if you dont care about QAM, then there are some other devices that are still good.... but not yet supported in the mainline linux kernel without external patches |
[15:48:31] | Kevorkian: | so the qam support may not be a big deal for me |
[15:48:41] | mkrufky: | they're not allowed to encrypt everything |
[15:48:56] | Kevorkian: | besides the basics .. I mean |
[15:49:02] | mkrufky: | the standard channels that would normally be found in OTA will also have to be unencrypted on the digital cable |
[15:49:23] | mkrufky: | well, yeah... all the premium channels are encrypted -- |

[17:13:48] | sphery: | Pete_: Got a backup of the DB (or several)? |
[17:13:57] | Pete_: | I have plenty :) |
[17:14:03] | sphery: | How long have you been using Myth? |

[17:14:10] | sphery: | Did MythMusic ever work for you? |
[17:14:20] | sphery: | And you recently upgraded? |
[17:14:33] | Pete_: | The backend hasn't been upgraded since 0.20 |
[17:14:46] | sphery: | backend and frontend /must/ be running the exact same revision of Myth. |
[17:15:11] | sphery: | That would be the first step to fixing it if they're not currently running the same rev. |

[17:19:07] | sphery: | (i.e. all frontends and backends) |
[17:20:23] | Pete_: | music_xxxxx all exist in my old mythconverg database, it just seems something hasn't created them in my 'new' (0.20-svn) database |

[17:22:38] | Pete_: | And music doesn't work there |
[17:24:23] | sphery: | Well, a database upgrade should have created all the new tables for you and copied data from the old tables. Something prevented that from working. The error message in the log file would be ideal for tracking down what. |
[17:25:50] | sphery: | Otherwise, the "best" solution is to start a clean DB using ideas from http://mythtv.org/docs/mythtv-HOWTO-23.html#ss23.7 (along with http://mythtv.org/docs/mythtv-HOWTO-23.html#ss23.5). |
[17:26:56] | gbee: | Pete_: sounds like your database is hosed |
[17:27:21] | sphery: | If it's just the music stuff, you can probably fake it by deleting the appropriate music tables and ensuring that the MusicDBSchemaVer is "correct" for your starting point. |
[17:27:49] | sphery: | But I'll leave the specifics as an exercise for the reader. |
[17:27:51] | Pete_: | sphery: I didn't upgrade, I started from scratch for 0.20svn. The music tables don't exist at all in the 'new' database |
[17:28:12] | gbee: | that's what I get for reading IRC history forwards and not backwards |

[17:32:48] | sphery: | If you don't have anything you need to keep in your current fresh DB, you can just drop the existing mythconverg DB and start over. |
[17:32:58] | sphery: | If you do have stuff to save, you'll need to do things in the right order. |

[17:33:55] | gpd: | Where does one find the Dot Clock Frequency for a TV? The manual gives Vertical and Horizontal Frequencies |
[17:33:59] | Pete_: | could I export my current (working except for music) database, import mc.sql, then import my backup (replacing all the tables I have, leaving the new ones?) |
[17:34:37] | sphery: | mc.sql only creates the DB--no tables (i.e. doesn't put the schema in place). |
[17:35:02] | niter3: | is there anything new for myth lately. Any new plugins and such? |
[17:35:13] | sphery: | If you're trying to bring in stuff from a backup, the order is dependant upon the version used to create the backup and the version you're currently running. |
[17:35:46] | sphery: | niter3: MythMovies recently went into SVN trunk. Allows you to see movie listings for local theaters. |
[17:36:15] | sphery: | niter3: But, if you're using packaged versions, for the last 9 months or so, it's just been bug fixes. |
[17:36:20] | Pete_: | Well, I have a functioning 0.20-svn system for most of the machines at the moment, except music does not work. It just seems to be those tables are missing from the database music_artists etc.. |

[17:42:32] | sphery: | Pete_: One approach is http://mythtv.org/docs/mythtv-HOWTO-23.html#ss23.5 , dropping the mythconverg DB , http://mythtv.org/docs/mythtv-HOWTO-6.html#ss6.2 , start mythtv-setup and exit, http://mythtv.org/docs/mythtv-HOWTO-23.html#ss23.7 (and include other non-music tables, but not settings, as desired). Then run mythtv-setup and finish configuring, then mythfrontend settings. Then, you should be able to scan for music from ... |
[17:42:39] | sphery: | ... the frontend. |
[17:42:48] | sphery: | That's the long approach, but requires no knowledge of mythtv internals. |

[17:50:51] | sphery: | wastrel: IMHO, a $30 (in the US, at least) NVIDIA card is far cheaper than a $0 ATI card. |
[17:51:12] | wastrel: | heh i've never had nvidia before. |
[17:51:40] | modorf: | wastrel, nvidia's seem to have better binary driver support. |
[17:52:30] | sphery: | You'll spend a /lot/ of time trying to get the ATI working, you'll find that its drivers have bugs that may force you to compile your own version of Myth with a compile-time switch in place to work around the bugs, and you'll probably have issues where previews and other scaled video is in the upper-left corner instead of where it's supposed to be, and you'll probably have pink bars when you apply filters during playback. |

[19:42:54] | sphery: | yeah |
[19:43:00] | jams: | if so, then it's about two years old |
[19:43:19] | jams: | however the new mythui stuff made it disappear |
[19:44:04] | sphery: | Hmmm. Something about it looks very different... I just updated from trunk r13461 to r13648. |
[19:44:06] | jams: | the addition of base.xml made it reappear. |

[19:44:34] | sphery: | I thought I was going crazy. |
[19:45:15] | fxfitz: | I just put a PVR-150 in my computer, and I have not yet installed MythTV. Is there any way that I can check and see if it's being recognized? Right now I'm running Ubuntu Feisty Fawn. |
[19:45:28] | jams: | minimalist-wide is one of 3 themes that uses button-background.png. the new ui does not take into account that element so the strip "disappeared". When juski added base.xml it included button-background.jpg as the default background. |
[19:46:01] | jams: | hence the strip reappeared. it's not exactly "correct" but it works for now. I do the same with syth |
[19:46:04] | juski: | jams: I thought that was how it was intended to look so I put it in there |
[19:46:17] | sphery: | gbee: Are you getting a "Mutex destroy failure: Device or resource busy" on shutting down mythfrontend? On a hunch (haven't looked at any code), I'm assuming it's related to the new clock (since that's the "big" change since my last update). |

[19:46:57] | jams: | juski- i made that change about 2 years ago. |
[19:47:02] | sphery: | gbee: OK. I'll investigate it, then. Thanks. |
[19:47:13] | gbee: | I get the usual QT 3.3.8 segfault though, so maybe that masks a problem |
[19:47:34] | sphery: | Oh. I wish mine would segfault before erroring. ;) |
[19:47:51] | gbee: | not sure the clock is involved, but let me know |
[19:47:55] | jams: | the reason i said it's not "correct" is because button-background is for the menu's only. base.xml makes it global. At the moment it's the best we can do. |
[19:47:56] | sphery: | Does it even sound reasonable that it could be with the clock? |
[19:48:03] | mkrufky: | fxfitz: do 'dmesg | less' and you'll be able to look thru the kernel's debug log... the drivers output messages there when they identify devices |
[19:48:07] | juski: | jams: anyway I don't know of many themes which don't use some kind of sneaky 'improper' workaround. apart from goody-2-shoes mepo-wide :-P |

[19:48:58] | sphery: | fxfitz: It can be tested without Myth, but generally, you have to learn a lot about ivtv to make sure you do it right. In many cases, you'll spend less time just installing Myth and testing it in there. (Although many will say that's not the approved solution.) |
[19:49:15] | mkrufky: | mplayer is easier |
[19:49:30] | jams: | juski- at the time that strip was added to match the htpc case i was using |
[19:49:43] | mkrufky: | myth is good for AFTER you know your devices are all working properly |
[19:50:11] | jams: | however i haven't used that theme in ages, because horizonatal themes are hard to use. |
[19:50:30] | juski: | btw jams you don't think this looks scary do you? www.juski.co.uk/appearance.png ? |
[19:50:53] | juski: | jams: that's cos we need _proper_ horizontal menus which scroll from side to side |
[19:51:05] | jams: | man i really need to get cut/paste working for my vnc session. |
[19:51:18] | a5benwillis: | juski: Ewe |
[19:51:24] | ** mkrufky would photoshop the eye whites a bit ** | |
[19:51:43] | sphery: | juski: I think it's spookier than the fact that the guy who responded to your e-mail about using those images for your theme is using your theme. |
[19:51:47] | a5benwillis: | juski: That would scare my kids LOL |
[19:52:08] | juski: | it looks better than the shite image in the current theme |
[19:52:08] | mkrufky: | i just wouldnt want to see that vein on a 50" screen, thats all |
[19:52:10] | juski: | IMHO |
[19:52:11] | jams: | HA that is a bit much |
[19:52:24] | wastrel: | i need a new hard drive |
[19:52:25] | wastrel: | or 2 |
[19:52:33] | juski: | ok I'll rework the eye.. I remember thinking it needed something... |
[19:52:37] | sphery: | juski: for "proper" horizontal menus, do you mean the buttons move, but the highlighted one stays centered? |
[19:52:52] | sphery: | (wondering in case I get time to work on it...) |
[19:53:01] | juski: | sphery: yup |
[19:53:05] | juski: | that's what I mean |
[19:53:06] | sphery: | cool. |
[19:53:09] | jams: | sphery- yes that was the intention when horizontal menus were introduced |
[19:53:10] | mkrufky: | juski: i think if you apply a minimal blur filter on the eye whites it would be better |
[19:53:22] | jams: | however it didn't exactly make it |
[19:53:47] | sphery: | and with that approach, it wouldn't "stop" (i.e. would wrap around). |
[19:53:49] | Dagmar: | So basically horizontal was supposed to be a sliding strip of buttons? |

[19:54:33] | gbee: | sphery: I wouldn't say so, iirc we're not directly (or even indirectly) involving any mutex locks in that code |
[19:54:42] | Dagmar: | Is there any particular reason why the OSD themes are based on a 640x480 grid, while the menus base on a 800x600? |
[19:54:42] | gpd: | strange question: do I need special component cables to connect to component – or will any 3 standard RCA video cables work? |
[19:55:05] | sphery: | gbee: OK. I'll approach it with an open mind (probably the right approach, regardless :). |
[19:55:06] | Dagmar: | gpd: Any decent RCA cables will work |
[19:55:27] | gpd: | none of the modelines seem to help with my lower 1/3rd vertical flickering... |
[19:55:29] | Como|Lappy: | even cable wire or speaker wire works for component, if you're special like me |
[19:55:54] | gpd: | presumably component resolution / quality will be much worse than DVI->HMDI? |
[19:56:01] | gpd: | or am I wasting my time with HDMI? |
[19:56:21] | mkrufky: | hdmi is as good as it gets |
[19:56:35] | mkrufky: | and dvi can look as good as hdmi |
[19:56:45] | mkrufky: | component will give you the same resolution |
[19:57:01] | mkrufky: | its just a matter of preference, or whataver you have available |
[19:57:06] | gpd: | but if I can do 720p over component it will be comparable to the untrained eye? |
[19:57:33] | mkrufky: | there's really no benefit to convert from your pc to a component signal |
[19:57:36] | gbee: | sphery: there is a known reason why that error might occur according to the QT lists and that is creating a QApplication and then never calling QApplication::exec before it's destroyed |
[19:57:42] | mkrufky: | but, it should look exactly the same |
[19:58:10] | gbee: | sphery: but I can't think of a any recent commit which would cause that to be the case |
[20:00:55] | sphery: | Yeah. I'm seeing that it was a common occurrence in 2002... |
[20:01:14] | sphery: | I will admit that I shut down the frontend rather quickly--was scared by the big stripe on Minimalist-wide. :) |
[20:01:21] | sphery: | I'm letting it run for a few minutes now. |
[20:01:39] | jams: | heh |
[20:03:53] | gbee: | heh, ignored the date because I figured 2002 wasn't that long ago ... *ahem* |

[20:19:15] | jams: | heh i't not shiny |
[20:19:17] | mkrufky: | maybe a lens glare would look good there |
[20:19:30] | juski: | lens flares are too fake |
[20:19:34] | mkrufky: | err, i forget what it's actually called....... |
[20:19:38] | mkrufky: | ok u knew what i meant |

[20:19:48] | sphery: | fxfitz: You'll first create your capture cards, then you'll create your video source(s), then you'll "connect" the video source to the appropriate input, then you'll use "Fetch channels from listings provider" to create channels (do /not/ use "Scan for channels"), then you'll watch TV. |
[20:19:54] | juski: | you don't get lens flares when you look at stuff with your own eyes! |
[20:19:54] | juski: | ;) |
[20:20:10] | mkrufky: | you do if you wer contact lenses |

[20:20:49] | mkrufky: | you get used to it after a while |
[20:20:57] | juski: | I wear specs & have never seen a panavision style lens flare ;) |
[20:21:06] | jblack: | sphery: Sorry I missed your reply. Are you still there? |
[20:21:08] | mkrufky: | yeah you dont get that from normal eye glasses |
[20:22:17] | sphery: | jblack: yes, but my memory isn't... |
[20:22:24] | jblack: | sphery: I'm able to get video for transcoded shows. Shows that aren't transcoded are blue, unless I run mythfrontend with XV disabled. |
[20:22:37] | fxfitz: | sphery, Alright. How come use Fetch Channels from Listings Provider and not Scan for Channels?? |
[20:23:08] | sphery: | fxfitz: because you're in the US and the provided data is better than "guess-timated" data. |

[20:23:21] | juski: | tell you what I'll take her eyebrow stubble away that the white highlight was hiding too |
[20:23:29] | sphery: | jblack: You're not using a PVR-350 for output, right? It was a laptop? |
[20:23:32] | fxfitz: | sphery, Right. Gotcha. |
[20:23:43] | gpd: | FYI: You cannot run Powerstrip using a Bart PE CD :( |
[20:23:53] | jblack: | sphery: This is a client laptop without TV hardware. |
[20:24:34] | jblack: | sphery: I think its a memory problem. I get plenty of errors, when XV is not disabled, about not being able to allocate memory. I suspect that the problem is the bios is hosed when it comes to devoting shared memory to the video card. |
[20:24:37] | sphery: | The blue screen generally indicates that the system was configured with two displays. Xv only works on display 1 with any driver you're likely to use. |
[20:25:09] | Esotericisms: | I have a question. I am looking into building a new mythtv setup. Anyone know if this motherboard (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813186115) will work with MythTV using a dvi-to-component adapter (http://cgi.ebay.com/HDTV-Component-Video-Adap . . . mdZViewItem) |
[20:25:10] | sphery: | Does the laptop have a TV out port? |
[20:25:40] | jblack: | sphery: I don't believe so. I think I'm not being clear though. |
[20:26:14] | sphery: | Basically, what I've heard is that you get video without a problem when not using Xv, right? |
[20:26:22] | sphery: | With Xv do you ever get video? |
[20:26:25] | jblack: | Nope, though I'm using straight ubuntu rather than mythbuntu |
[20:26:29] | jblack: | gah. |
[20:26:31] | jblack: | myth can show the shows in Xv if they have been transcoded to a lower resolution. myth shows blue if the video has not been transcoded, unless I disable xv. |
[20:26:46] | sphery: | What video card? |
[20:26:51] | sphery: | (driver) |
[20:26:54] | jblack: | Onboard i845 |
[20:27:03] | sphery: | What resolution is the output? |
[20:27:08] | Esotericisms: | anyone? |
[20:27:09] | sphery: | (configured to use) |
[20:27:51] | jblack: | 1200x800, I believe. |
[20:27:53] | sphery: | IIRC, there was an issue with the i810 driver (that's the one you're using, right? just guessing) that prevented it from working properly at "high" resolution. |
[20:27:57] | jblack: | I'm restarting the machine. |
[20:28:04] | mkrufky: | Esotericisms: why bother with component? doesnt your tv have dvi input ? |
[20:28:17] | Esotericisms: | unforunately no it does not ... older tv |
[20:28:24] | sphery: | jblack: There's another (new and /much/ improved driver--I think it's called "intel", but I'll check in a moment) that fixes the issue. |
[20:28:31] | mkrufky: | Esotericisms: and i did not look at your motherboard, but it should work |
[20:28:36] | mkrufky: | Esotericisms: you dont need anything special |
[20:28:41] | juski: | jams et al – refreshy :) |
[20:28:45] | Esotericisms: | that converter should work though? |

[20:31:01] | jblack: | Unfortunately ubuntu 7.4 doesn't have the intel driver yet. |
[20:31:06] | sphery: | jblack: Switch to the intel driver (I had the right name). It's fixed. |
[20:31:23] | zdzisekg: | juski, thanx. I missed that one |
[20:31:23] | sphery: | Easy solution. Implementing the solution, on the other hand, may be much more challenging... |
[20:31:39] | jblack: | Ohh, I lied. |
[20:31:41] | sphery: | intel driver is being developed to replace i810 |

[20:33:07] | fxfitz: | Alright, well, MythTV is now working and I'm watching TV (except the quality is horrible, but it I think its because of the cable in this particular room). How would I go about setting up my remote to use? I just bought the PVR-150. |
[20:33:13] | jblack: | I'm switching to the intel driver now. Just a moment |
[20:33:45] | sphery: | That will be very nice if both are in that package for you... |
[20:33:51] | ** sphery crosses fingers ** | |
[20:34:45] | juski: | more natural as green? |
[20:34:49] | sphery: | fxfitz: signal strength can be a big issue with PVR-x50's. See http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/ivtv/devel/17953#17953 for my recommendations. |

[20:38:13] | mkrufky: | jblack: which chipset it is? |
[20:38:20] | jblack: | sphery: Ok, so if someone complains that x.org reports that memory is being stolen, he probably has an i810. Switch to the intel driver, and life gets good |
[20:38:27] | mkrufky: | i am still using i810 on my 965G chipset under feisty |

[22:15:28] | mkrufky: | i wish there was a way to have the svn version installed concurrently with the stable version, without any risk of damage to the stable one |
[22:15:31] | gbee: | at the bottom |
[22:16:16] | sphery: | There is but it involves two different networks and > 2 different computers :) |
[22:16:36] | sphery: | >= 2, actually |
[22:17:03] | planktonboy: | gbee, ah yes of course, forgot about that place :) |
[22:17:07] | planktonboy: | thanks |
[22:17:08] | mkrufky: | yup, so, it's not happening |
[22:17:29] | mkrufky: | i set up a separate mythbackend server for the sake of cx88-blackbird tests, and thats it |
[22:17:37] | Dagmar: | OH some shell magic and a lot of filecopying could do it |
[22:17:51] | Dagmar: | Just a bit of smoke and mirrors is all that would be needed |
[22:18:56] | sphery: | Here, neither. I keep saying I'll set up a dev box, but NVIDIA EOL's my cards before I do, and I haven't felt like rewarding them by buying a new card just to keep the dev box identical to my production systems. |
[22:19:22] | Dagmar: | Its' not like supported cards cost more than a cheeseburger |
[22:19:24] | mkrufky: | i've got the mirrors and the smokes, but what does that have to do with my mythbackend? |
[22:19:37] | mkrufky: | heheh, ok i gotta go guys... cu l8r |

[22:21:18] | sphery: | Uh, you don't mean "herbs," do you? |

[22:25:52] | Beirdo: | kobe beef-burger? |
[22:26:18] | directhex: | kobe only really benefits as steak, since the fat distribution is one of the main features |
[22:26:31] | Beirdo: | grind it up, it'd still make good burgers :) |
[22:26:40] | stuarta: | bloody expensive burgers |
[22:26:45] | directhex: | but not noticably better than decent lean steak |

[22:28:21] | Beirdo: | goat curry is real good |
[22:28:46] | Beirdo: | ate that occasionally in Toronto (Indian restaurants and Jamaican style both had goat) |
[22:29:12] | directhex: | never had goat at a curry house |

[22:30:05] | Dagmar: | THere are some cooks, people should just fucking worship |

[22:30:40] | Beirdo: | that was one of the highlights of the Tennessee trip :) |
[22:30:50] | Beirdo: | that and the JD distillery... and Beale St |
[22:30:51] | Dagmar: | directhex: You can eat food prepared by people like that in two places I know of. Vegas, and San Francisco |
[22:31:02] | directhex: | Dagmar, philly! |

[22:35:34] | Dagmar: | I've been told Japan and China have trouble keeping chefs because the best ones move to SF, and I can believe it |
[22:36:41] | directhex: | actually my meatballs are much better than my burgers, even though the recipes are very similar |
[22:36:52] | directhex: | i still haven't cracked the texture when making burgers |
[22:37:17] | Dagmar: | THe secret is FIRE |
[22:37:41] | Beirdo: | Wonder if Alton Brown did a Good Eats on burgers |
[22:37:48] | directhex: | i need to make them more dense. i'm wondering if the food processor might eliminate more air |
[22:38:14] | hads: | Don't process it. |
[22:38:41] | Dagmar: | Pureeing the meat is what's killing your textture |
