[00:00:45] andyman53: there were a whole bunch of these

[00:11:23] maek: do you need a window manager or X to run mythtvfrontend?
[00:11:37] pat_: just X
[00:11:37] directhex: strictly no to both
[00:11:43] directhex: in practice, you really want both
[00:12:16] pat_: without X? what do you use then, does mythtv work on directfb?
[00:12:22] directhex: x because using the framebuffer directly blows; a window manager because you'll have focus issues with spawned apps (e.g. mplayer) without
[00:12:29] directhex: pat_, all Qt apps can bypass X
[00:12:33] pat_: aah
[00:13:00] pat_: learn something every day :)
[00:14:13] andyman53: is there any fix for the zap2it guides that are expiring soon?
[00:14:28] fryfrog: 2 fixes. move or commit suicide
[00:14:34] fryfrog: oh, 3rd might be in /topic
[00:15:06] andyman53: it's really backwards that they wouldn't even turn it pay
[00:15:08] andyman53: i'd pay for those listings

[00:15:29] fryfrog: i'm sure they've done a bidness analysis of going for pay and found it doesn't work for them
[00:15:45] phiwer: &YYOOOOO
[00:15:51] andyman53: i guess...
[00:15:51] fryfrog: i suspect they could make money, but probably no where *near* the scale they make from say, tv guide, selling listings to XYZ, etc
[00:16:32] fryfrog: If you make 1.1 gigawatts of $$$, why bother with +$10k or +$100k / yr?
[00:16:52] andyman53: that is true
[00:16:57] andyman53: they didn't seem that big to me however
[00:17:04] fryfrog: data direct?
[00:17:18] fryfrog: from what i understand, they basically have a monopoly on tv listings
[00:17:25] catisonh: they were doing it as a service before, for free, if they could do it, make money, and keep the free loaders out then why not?
[00:17:41] fryfrog: they either own (or supply) tv guide, listings for tv guide channel, tivo's listings, listings that go to cable boxes, etc
[00:17:50] andyman53: wow

[00:18:19] andyman53: gotcha
[00:18:33] fryfrog: catisonh: aparantly they were losing money on it (not hard to see why, it was free, used servers and bandwidth as well as employees)
[00:19:21] catisonh: fryfrog, yeah, I can see that, but it looks like the mythtv guys are trying to find a way for them to get compensated somehow, or to take the load off them

[00:20:15] fryfrog: my guess is that they'd lease/buy/license the data from data direct, just like tivo/tvguide/etc does, *hopefully* at a rate they can afford to turn around and re-sell to us for a price we can afford
[00:20:27] varun0 (varun0!n=varun@cpe-24-27-63-213.austin.res.rr.com) has joined #mythtv-users
[00:20:36] catisonh: makes sense
[00:20:43] fryfrog: I could swing something like $1–3 a month for listings, but much more than that and I'll just turn my mythbox off and use the 2 cumcast DVRs I have
[00:20:49] clever: Dibblah: i think my bug happened again somehow
[00:20:49] catisonh: almost everyone I've talked to about it is willing to pay something
[00:21:03] fryfrog: yeah, that is the consensus i've seen too
[00:21:11] fryfrog: and it *isn't* just mythtv that needs these listings
[00:21:19] catisonh: yeah
[00:21:28] fryfrog: so the potential customer base for this "schedules direct" venture could be big enough to bring the price down
[00:21:40] catisonh: I am interested to know how big the openpvr community really is
[00:21:46] fryfrog: especially if it is say, a non-profit organization not looking to gouge the customers :)
[00:21:54] fryfrog: only labs.zap2it.com knows
[00:22:22] fryfrog: I think that the "guys" are hoping to get that data from them
[00:22:58] my2keh: anyone have a script that cleans their guide data ? Like of records in 2038? heh
[00:23:01] catisonh: I still can't believe they are stopping it with such short notice

[00:23:26] catisonh: my2keh, you could sell that data if its accurate
[00:23:34] andyman53: yeah, i'd definetly pay
[00:23:45] catisonh: then we wouldn't need zap2it
[00:23:47] my2keh: catisonh>> it's EIT so it's accurate enough heh
[00:25:42] my2keh: but sometimes has invalid records
[00:25:44] my2keh: in the future
[00:27:02] catisonh: sometimes = 99.99999%
[00:27:03] tjcarter: I find zap2it is notoriously inaccurate on some channels
[00:27:03] fryfrog: but that shouldn't actually cause any errors, should it?
[00:27:18] my2keh: catisonh>> yeah pretty much

[00:31:09] tjcarter: knowledgejunkie: I use a Sonata II for my backend
[00:31:32] knowledgejunkie: tjcarter: I use a Silverstone LC16M...
[00:31:41] cornell: I'm moving from one LAN to another. DBHostName is localhost. WHile the machine is off, I unplug from 192.168.x and plug into 192.168.y and boot up. There after, it complains that it can't find the database, or the backend server.
[00:31:49] tjcarter: I can't say I am 100% happy with the Sonata II
[00:31:57] tjcarter: little things
[00:32:04] knowledgejunkie: I'm looking for feedback on the Antec for a silent FE though
[00:32:05] tjcarter: But they sure do add up
[00:32:23] tjcarter: I suspect my experience with the Sonata II applies  ;)
[00:32:39] knowledgejunkie: have looked at the Silverstone LC11 too, and have built system with the piano black Sonata for friends
[00:33:02] tjcarter: Built-in PSU developed serious problems after about a year
[00:33:25] knowledgejunkie: Was it up the whole time or turned off regularly?

[00:38:35] Dagmar: cornell: You have to ENABLE networking for your mysql server
[00:38:54] Dagmar: By default with most distros it will allow connections over localhost just fine
[00:39:03] Dagmar: Actually going across the network is another matter entirely
[00:39:09] Dagmar: It helps if you read the docuentation.
[00:43:04] cornell: Well... Dagmar, I don't understand... Whatever needs to be enabled should be because it works fine, as a frontend and backend, if I plug it into 192.168.x, and doesn't work when I plug it into 192.168.y. Is there somewhere besides ~/.mythtv/mysql.txt (which has "localhost") where the machine's name is?
[00:45:57] coopster: i'm running mythfrontend on Ubuntu, and I can't configure the IP for the backend. It keeps trying to connect to 192.168.1.2, despite the fact that i've run dpkg-reconfigure and that all the mysql.txt say 10.0.1.1. any ideas?
[00:46:10] cornell: And I'm not going across a network (from the frontend to the backend) It's on localhost
[00:47:52] coopster: i'm running mythfrontend on Ubuntu, and I can't configure the IP for the backend. It keeps trying to connect to 192.168.1.2, despite the fact that i've run dpkg-reconfigure and that all the mysql.txt say 10.0.1.1. any ideas?

[01:01:00] thoraxe: i think the initial bootloader install got kinda janxd
[01:01:05] varun0: so when I run gnome-sound-properties and "Test" my outputs, I can hear sound. But when I play a movie, there is no sound. mplayer doesn't even dump any errors. Any leads on how to debug this?
[01:01:08] thoraxe: so the installer finds grub but grub isn't totally there

[01:04:13] thoraxe: i will give that a spin after i try norton ghost lol
[01:04:25] fryfrog: that'd nuke the partition table and mbr, i believe
[01:04:27] fryfrog: just fyi
[01:04:35] thoraxe: no data ont he disk, it can all go
[01:04:41] thoraxe: it's already been formatted multiple times
[01:04:46] thoraxe: actually i don't think ghost is the right util to use
[01:04:50] thoraxe: i need a bootable pqm
[01:04:50] fryfrog: i use a *version* of that to make a copy of my mbr, for use with the windows boot loader
[01:05:39] Cromn: hey all, i just installed myth on my gentoo box and when i try to run mythtv-setup, mythfrontend, etc i get 'Segmentation Fault' does anyone know what could be causing this error?
[01:05:54] fryfrog: re-emerge mythtv would be my guess
[01:06:00] fryfrog: probably compiled against something bum maybe?
[01:06:13] fryfrog: amd64 or x8t?
[01:06:17] fryfrog: er, x86
[01:06:20] fryfrog: and ~ or not?
[01:06:22] Cromn: x86
[01:06:35] Cromn: with a nvidia card
[01:06:41] fryfrog: humm
[01:07:57] Cromn: i'm thinking i might have setup xorg or mysql wrong or something
[01:08:19] fryfrog: shouldn't cause a seg fault in mythtv-setup
[01:08:44] fryfrog: does it have a "-v all" option? or is that only for frontend/backend?
[01:09:44] Cromn: i'm not sure what you mean
[01:10:24] thoraxe: fryfrog: should that command have taken 2 seconds?
[01:10:26] thoraxe: like not even
[01:10:40] pat_: yeah
[01:11:06] fryfrog: what command?
[01:11:08] fryfrog: oh, the dd?
[01:11:11] thoraxe: ya
[01:11:12] fryfrog: yeah, virtually instant :)
[01:11:16] thoraxe: ok
[01:11:23] thoraxe: let's try the mythdora install again for the 4th time hehe
[01:11:26] fryfrog: you could do the whole disk, if you were looking for say, dod grade erasure :)
[01:13:42] cornell: Can anybody give me a hint as to how changing the LAN ip address of a mythbox, running as a frontend and master backend, talking to itself via localhost, why changing the LAN address would cause it to no longer talk to itself?
[01:14:08] fryfrog: you maybe were using a hostname or fixed ip to reference, like you should?
[01:14:14] fryfrog: do you have phpmyadmin installed?
[01:14:38] coopster (coopster!n=bcoop@c-71-236-54-213.hsd1.tn.comcast.net) has quit (Remote closed the connection)
[01:14:59] cornell: Well... I had used a hostname and was having trouble with it. Only when I went to localhost could I get it to work (nine months ago, it's been fine since then)
[01:16:02] cornell: And no to phpmyadmin. I've used mysql commandline and mysql and mythconverg seem alive and well.
[01:16:07] jams: hostnames are not supported, only ip's
[01:16:37] thoraxe: sweet, it asked me for bootloader config
[01:16:40] cornell: So DBHostName would be better 127.0.0.1 instead of localhost?
[01:16:40] fryfrog: search your db for 127.0.0.1 or localhost or your old ip, replace it with the proper one
[01:16:57] fryfrog: if you *ONLY* have one mythtv system (fe/be) that'd be fine
[01:16:58] thoraxe: thanks fryfrog
[01:17:06] fryfrog: if you *ever* plan on having more than one, use the system's real IP
[01:17:12] thoraxe: i chose no bootloader this time
[01:17:16] thoraxe: this isn't gonna do anything but myth
[01:17:17] cornell: So there's an entry in the database itself, not just in mysql.txt
[01:17:25] thoraxe: man i really need to put this athlon xp2000 in this box
[01:17:26] fryfrog: uh, if you dont' have a boot loader it won't boot :/
[01:17:32] thoraxe: um
[01:17:35] fryfrog: cornell: correct
[01:17:35] knowledgejunkie: cornell: have you run mythtv-setup and reset the master backend's IP address? This is stored in the DB, along with hostnames for your settings
[01:17:51] thoraxe: i guess i'll find out the hard way
[01:17:59] thoraxe: i don't see how it would allow it to not make the disk bootable
[01:17:59] fryfrog: cornell: mysql.txt tells it where to look for the DB, its user, pass. The *DB* has the backend's IP, etc
[01:18:11] fryfrog: thoraxe: the *bootloader* is what boots your system
[01:18:12] thoraxe: i'm guessing i chose no to grub and yes to lilo ro something, lol
[01:18:17] knowledgejunkie: cornell: the mysql.txt file just tells your myth progs where the DB is
[01:18:31] fryfrog: it doesn't matter if you have only one OS, you need a boot loader. Windows even has one
[01:18:32] thoraxe: fryfrog: yes, that would make much sense. I suppose I'll find out what happens when the install finishes
[01:18:38] fryfrog: lilo is fine :)
[01:18:49] fryfrog: grub is the "new hotness" from like 5+ years ago, but lilo works fine
[01:18:49] thoraxe: worst case i can boot into the rescue and manually installt he bootloader?

[01:20:47] billytwowilly: hi, I notice a bunch of tv's (i.e 42 inch plasma from maxent) come with rs-232 ports. Anyone have any luck changing channels, etc with the serial port?
[01:20:55] kormoc: cornell, settings table
[01:21:04] cornell: Thanks
[01:21:22] kormoc: billytwowilly, it's rather unusual for myth to control a tv in that fasion
[01:22:21] cornell: Ah-ha... there's a bunch of rows for hostname = mythtv
[01:22:38] cornell: (wow, 353 rows)
[01:22:42] billytwowilly: kormoc: not really, there used to be a program for controlling my dct-2500 set top box through myth.. If only my cable tv provider wasn't a loser and had the serial port locked off..
[01:23:19] kormoc: billytwowilly, that's true, but that's a recording source. the tv isn't, and changing channels on a non-recording source is strange for myth to be used for
[01:23:32] knowledgejunkie: cornell: "SELECT * FROM `settings` where value like '%ServerIP%';" should show you the IPs stored in your DB. You can also run an update command on the hostname column to reflect any changes to the machine's hostname
[01:23:35] fryfrog: billytwowilly: right, that is to control a *cable box* not a TV
[01:23:50] varun0: andyman: did you figure it out?
[01:23:51] fryfrog: billytwowilly: invest in a logitech harmony remote :)
[01:23:54] billytwowilly: kormoc: I'm more interesting in turning it on and off and upping the volume and stuff, I was just using that as the example stuff to do.

[01:26:25] varun0: andyman53: did you figure it out?
[01:26:39] billytwowilly: fryfrog: you can use some of the stuff in linuxmce, to make your media follow you around, but you need to be able to turn on/off tv's and stuff.
[01:26:45] knowledgejunkie: cornell: unless you move your SQL server, yes
[01:26:58] fryfrog: billytwowilly: how does it, er, know where you are RFID?
[01:27:10] billytwowilly: fryfrog: bluetooth mobile phone
[01:27:11] cornell: Cool thank you
[01:27:17] fryfrog: ahhhh
[01:27:28] fryfrog: irblaster then?
[01:28:23] billytwowilly: fryfrog: that's the convential way to do it, but that's boring;)
[01:28:33] fryfrog: hehe
[01:28:58] billytwowilly: I wish all the cheap chinese manufacturers would agree on a data interchange format and then just put usb ports on their tv's.
[01:29:12] kormoc: firewire
[01:29:17] knowledgejunkie: cornell: no problem :) is it working?
[01:29:27] andyman53: varun: yeah, i had to check the mtd.log
[01:29:35] andyman53: and it was trying to write to a directory that didn't exist
[01:29:45] cornell: I've been looking all evening.... I'd've probably still been looking next week
[01:30:01] varun0: andyman53: haha.....yea I just ran into the same issue :-)
[01:30:02] cornell: Don't know yet, gotta do it, and swap the cable.
[01:30:14] billytwowilly: firewire = expensive overkill for just telling the tv to turn on/off volume up, change channel, etc.
[01:30:16] andyman53: hah
[01:30:59] varun0: andyman53: I feel so stupid for not telling you to look at the log
[01:31:30] kormoc: billytwowilly, it's not that costly, and it is the industry standard for A/V communications
[01:31:56] kormoc: billytwowilly, also there are tv's that accept firewire so you can view from your firewire hd camera and the like
[01:32:18] billytwowilly: kormoc: it's the standard for data transfer. It's costly because almost no cheap/small motherboards have it onboard
[01:33:13] kormoc: billytwowilly, that's not really true anymore. Almost all mobos have it onboard now-a-days and it's dirt cheap, $10 for a 4 port firewire pci card
[01:33:23] andyman53: varun0: ah, don't sweat it
[01:34:18] billytwowilly: kormoc: is it on any of the epia boards?
[01:34:22] Tanthrix: It's still overkill for the purpose. A separate headphone jack esqe serial standard for channel changing and other misc functions would be a much better way to go.
[01:35:03] kormoc: billytwowilly, some do, aye
[01:35:06] Tanthrix: But, probably not useful enough to enough people to be worthwhile
[01:35:24] kormoc: billytwowilly, typically a break-out cable is required, but they're only $5 or so
[01:35:52] billytwowilly: kormoc: well then I suppose it can be firewire, although I still like usb better since it's more widely available.

[01:36:54] kormoc: billytwowilly, honestly, it's really strange how wide spread firewire is in AV stuff, it might be more common outside of AV, but really, I'd perfer a firewire port that I could hook up to my cameras and the like in the future then a usb port that I can't :)

[01:43:21] clever: if grub is installed on a running system you can have it install to the boot sector
[01:43:39] clever: thoraxe: ive made grub floppys to boot my laptop when it didnt have a boot loader
[01:43:55] clever: once the system is up you can use the grub installed on it to fix its own boot sector
[01:44:01] thoraxe: uh
[01:44:12] thoraxe: i can get into redhat with the cd in rescue mode
[01:44:12] fryfrog: just reinstall :p

[01:44:21] fryfrog: re-do the dd, reinstall, pick grub this time :)
[01:44:24] clever: reinstall wont be needed
[01:44:32] thoraxe: roger dodger
[01:44:37] fryfrog: grub / lilo aren't *hard* but if it only took you this long to isntall...
[01:44:38] clever: if you can get into rescue mode you can probly get a console
[01:44:43] fryfrog: it'd prolly take that long just to figure it out
[01:44:45] thoraxe: i can def get a console
[01:44:47] clever: and then run the grub installer(to boot sect)
[01:44:55] fryfrog: unless you know what you are doing, then it'd be like 10 sec
[01:44:57] my2keh: clever>> thanks

[01:45:22] thoraxe: grub -> probing devices
[01:46:07] thoraxe: ok i'm in the grub menu
[01:46:13] clever: you can either install it to the MBR(it will load when booting from the drive and kill any xp/winblows) or into the partition(wont kill winblows but not shure how to run it)
[01:46:25] thoraxe: no windows, no data, just need it to boot the disk
[01:46:27] clever: any other os's on the drive you might kill?

[01:54:39] livingtm: Aval0n, If by sound driver you mean the portion that takes the sound from the PVR500, i would agree
[01:54:57] Aval0n: if it happens on your recordings
[01:55:03] Aval0n: the pvr500 isn't involved at all
[01:55:09] livingtm: Aval0n, if you are referring to the audio out card, I really dont think tahts the issue because it started when i installed the 500
[01:55:11] [-clever-]`ca: thoraxe: ahh yeah
[01:55:21] livingtm: it RECORDS static

[02:27:06] keith4_: the wiki shows three examples of mythtvosd.... with three different templates: scroller, alert, and cid... in mythtv-0.20-svn20070223/programs/mythtvosd/ there are two xml files, one for cid and one for alert. where is the scroller template?
[02:27:32] keith4_: billytwowilly: minimyth?
[02:27:33] clever: my2keh: try sheilds up at grc.com
[02:27:44] clever: my2keh: that will scan you and show the results back to you
[02:28:04] my2keh: should I scan from myth
[02:28:10] my2keh: box or from y windows box?
[02:28:12] my2keh: my*
[02:28:14] clever: scan from any pc behind the router
[02:28:16] clever: doesnt realy matter
[02:28:29] clever: all sheilds up will see is one public ip
[02:28:34] my2keh: ok

[02:29:48] my2keh: clever which option do I take?
[02:29:57] clever: my2keh: try the all service ports
[02:30:01] my2keh: k
[02:31:07] my2keh: ok port 80 is stealth?
[02:31:37] my2keh: most of them are closed
[02:32:47] clever: it could be a firewall at the isp,ata,router,mythbox
[02:33:27] my2keh: firewall blocking access you mean?
[02:34:09] clever: yeah
[02:34:17] clever: but it could be on any of those listed things
[02:34:23] my2keh: hmmm
[02:34:26] my2keh: I heard that before
[02:34:32] my2keh: ISP blocks serving from port 80
[02:34:37] clever: some isp's dont want you running websites without paying extra so they block 80 and stuff
[02:34:47] my2keh: so if I change apache to serve out of 8000 or something?
[02:34:55] clever: i have a friend running a site on 8080 and several others
[02:35:10] clever: go look at the output from shields up
[02:35:38] clever: any port showing as closed(blue) isnt blocked and is getting to the mythbox
[02:35:45] clever: you can try those
[02:36:07] my2keh: ok
[02:36:09] my2keh: so I changed it
[02:36:13] my2keh: I should retry the scan eh?

[02:37:51] thoraxe: fryfrog: woo it booted!
[02:37:53] clever: most of the time forwarding a single port is better then dmz
[02:37:53] thoraxe: lol
[02:38:01] my2keh: ok
[02:38:04] my2keh: it's OPEN!
[02:38:05] my2keh: heh
[02:38:20] clever: open means some program is running on there and acception(probly apache:P)
[02:38:34] my2keh: http://atkins.gotdns.com:81/ doesn't work
[02:38:41] my2keh: but http://192.168.1.98:81/ does
[02:38:47] clever: http://atkins.gotdns.com:8080/
[02:38:53] clever: thats a bit of a major problem
[02:39:10] clever: your router lets people on the web into its setup on port 8080 if they have the pw
[02:39:24] my2keh: you can get to the 8080?
[02:39:27] clever: either forward less at the ata or tell the router to close that up
[02:39:35] clever: i can connect to 8080 but it asks for the password
[02:39:40] my2keh: yes
[02:39:45] clever: for the WRT54G
[02:39:46] my2keh: I turned on remote administration
[02:39:57] my2keh: changed my password from the default of course
[02:40:02] clever: yeah
[02:40:06] clever: but it doesnt log failures
[02:40:12] my2keh: can you get to: http://atkins.gotdns.com:81/
[02:40:15] clever: so any1 can make a prog to try 500 passwords a day
[02:40:23] my2keh: I'm going to turn it off once I get this all working
[02:40:35] clever: that also 'works' but asks for a mythweb password
[02:40:41] my2keh: wierd!
[02:40:46] my2keh: it works for you
[02:40:48] my2keh: but not me
[02:40:51] clever: yeah
[02:41:03] clever: alot of routers wont forward stuff to itself properly when its from the inside
[02:41:06] my2keh: ugh
[02:41:14] my2keh: so I could have had this working long before
[02:41:25] my2keh: 'cause I was testing it, and of course it wasn't working
[02:41:27] my2keh: damn it!
[02:41:30] clever: ive tried to do it when making my own router but alot of the help channels wont help because they say it isnt needed
[02:41:39] clever: they say to just redo the program to use the local ip
[02:42:18] my2keh: hmm ok that's good
[02:42:23] my2keh: so it's working
[02:42:30] my2keh: now, here's an interesting question right
[02:42:39] my2keh: I'm serving mythweb out port 81
[02:42:46] clever: use http://192.168.1.98:81/ when in the house and http://atkins.gotdns.com:81/ when away
[02:42:46] my2keh: my work only allows port 80 in
[02:43:09] clever: youll need to either get a middle man to connect the ports
[02:43:16] clever: or find a port that both have open
[02:43:33] my2keh: ok
[02:43:43] clever: it would be simple to put apache on 21 22 23 24 25 78 79 80 81 82 83 8080 8000 ...
[02:43:46] my2keh: and I guess I need to change my mythtv password
[02:43:47] my2keh: heh
[02:43:50] clever: with just a ton of listen lines
[02:43:59] clever: then you can try all those when you get to work

[02:44:40] my2keh: yes
[02:44:52] my2keh: do most people leave their mythweb open?
[02:45:10] clever: ive heard some1 in here was googling for a mythweb error
[02:45:17] clever: and found 50 unprotected mythweb's with the error
[02:45:21] my2keh: ooo
[02:45:31] clever: he could easily have deleted all there shows and set it to record pron all night long:P
[02:45:56] clever: i run mine without a password but over a encrypted vpn
[02:46:12] clever: you cant even touch the port its on without the vpn client
[02:46:32] my2keh: What if it was already recording porn all night long? lol
[02:46:44] clever: he would delete yours and record gay pron:P
[02:47:02] my2keh: eek!

[02:48:55] clever: depending on how you set the pw in apache youll either protect the /mythweb/ folder or if you mess up youll just protect all or /

[02:52:24] my2keh: yes, I mostly use SSH too

[03:01:54] tcpsyn: I'm using twinview to clone my monitor (DFP @ 1280x1024) to the tv (CRT @ 1366x728)
[03:02:12] keith4_: what hardware?
[03:02:19] tcpsyn: GeForce 6200
[03:02:41] tcpsyn: LG LCD Monitor, and Westinghouse 32" LCD HDTV.
[03:02:44] keith4_: good
[03:03:02] keith4_: does the TV upsample 728 to 760?
[03:03:09] tcpsyn: I don't know.
[03:03:15] tcpsyn: The manual sucks.
[03:03:26] tcpsyn: All it really gives me is the native resolution of 1366x768
[03:03:40] tcpsyn: Doesn't say the vert/horiz settings or anything
[03:04:17] tcpsyn: When I reboot the computer with the tv attached, I can see it flash the bios, although, it doesn't use the full tv to do it.
[03:04:24] tcpsyn: And then when X starts, it says no signal.
[03:04:47] tcpsyn: I did have it working via composite @ 800x600.
[03:05:16] tcpsyn: But what good is an HDTV if I can't get comfortable resolution out of it
[03:05:24] keith4_: good question
[03:05:39] tcpsyn: Any ideas?
[03:05:56] tcpsyn: Could someone look at my xorg.conf of something and point me in the right direction?
[03:06:26] keith4_: if you don't know the expected refresh rates / resolution pairings for your TV... that's going to be tricky
[03:07:10] keith4_: does your xorg log report any settings that the TV advertises its capable of?

[03:13:07] Rudd-O: hello mythtvers
[03:13:09] Rudd-O: quick question
[03:13:23] Rudd-O: I have a theory. I have turned on "full luma range" in my BTTV card, explicitly disabled the adjust filter in the recording and the playback stages. Would this maximize the luma range capture?
[03:13:43] Rudd-O: (i noticed that the adjust filter was clipping deep black and deep white, thats why i started experimenting)
[03:14:01] Rudd-O: another question: where can I get a gamma filter that is *not* the adjust filter?
[03:14:17] keith4_: those are quick questions?
[03:14:40] Rudd-O: hahahaaaa :-) not exactly quick, but if you know the answers they will be
[03:15:45] Rudd-O: all picture controls are flat, and the image does look a bit dull, but that's because my monitor has a very dark gamma
[03:16:00] Rudd-O: I have confirmed using the playback controls that I am getting almost the full black and white range
[03:16:20] Rudd-O: but on very dark movie passages, I still see a lack of depth in black range

[03:30:03] keith4_: that's for svideo
[03:30:07] inahole: when's the mandatory HD date?
[03:30:41] inahole: i think the FCC set a date that everybody had to move to HD by
[03:30:46] keith4_: yes
[03:30:48] keith4_: they did

[03:31:02] inahole: ok, so what's the new date?
[03:31:07] tcpsyn: keith ah. So I don't need that for VGA
[03:31:25] tcpsyn: I can do HD over VGA without the TvOut stuff.
[03:31:30] tcpsyn: wonder if that's why it's not working.
[03:31:30] tcpsyn: heh
[03:31:55] inahole: the point being I don't want to get a non-HD capture card and what nots only to find out I can't get shit for use out of it because everything's HD
[03:33:26] keith4_: inahole: if I understand correctly, the fcc only mandates HD for broadcast
[03:33:36] keith4_: that won't affect cable companies, or satellite

[03:42:16] Kernel: i think so.
[03:43:27] Kernel: so...i need to find out how to shut off sub titles in mplayer? and if i want to add a subtitle button to my remotes config should i add under myth or mplayer?
[03:43:49] keith4_: i've never used mythdvd... so, verify that it is using mplayer
[03:44:01] keith4_: and then you need to worry about mplayer's controls

[03:48:00] clever: i think its B

[03:48:46] clever: but that wont go on the cmd line to keep it off by default

[03:49:23] Kernel: hmm ok
[03:49:35] clever: -sid or -slang would enable them

[06:28:11] Tanthrix: varun0: Possibly, but I doubt it, as long as something decent is doing the scaling. Now 1080i downscaled to 720p is a different matter
[06:28:39] varun0: Tanthrix: it's my samsung DLP, I've tried in vain to find anything about the quality of the scaler in it
[06:29:10] Tanthrix: varun0: Why are you so interested – trying to decide what resolution to run at or something?
[06:30:07] varun0: Tanthrix: well, 2 reasons. One, I have a <cough>backup</cough> of an HD movie in 1080p, but I'm wondering if a 720p version will look better. Two, plain ol' curiosity :-)
[06:30:58] Tanthrix: varun0: Ahh, I see. Well, I think it would be *highly* unlikely that you could tell the difference.
[06:31:24] varun0: varun0: are scaling algorithms highly proprietary, do you know?
[06:33:13] varun0: er I mean Tanthrix
[06:33:13] Tanthrix: varun0: Assuming that was directed to me, I kind of doubt it. Scaling isn't exactly an uber complex thing to do. But, for any TV, you're usually completely clueless about what chip it uses to do its scaling / deinterlacing / etc.., let alone specifically what it's doing. In the case of your setup your TV isn't scaling anything assuming you're outputting at the same res, so that would be something in whatever codec you're using
[06:33:36] varun0: hm I see
[06:33:52] Tanthrix: Deinterlacing is the big can of worms.
[06:34:34] varun0: yea so I've heard. I was trying to play around with xine to get my DVDs deinterlaced in the best way
[06:34:57] Cromn: anyone know what the mesage 'Segmention Fault' means?
[06:35:24] Tanthrix: varun0: They're all rubbish unfortunately. My TV's deinterlacer kicks the pants off of every single deinterlacer xine, mplayer, and myth's internal player are capable of using
[06:35:53] varun0: Tanthrix: is it because of hardware vs software? Or just that TV companies have more money than FOSS projects
[06:36:14] Tanthrix: Cromn: Essentially it means your program is referencing memory it shouldn't be. Many things can cause it though – it's more of a general crash error
[06:36:20] varun0: Cromn: segfaults in themselves just mean invalid memory access (I think). Have you tried searching google?
[06:36:46] inahole: log the installation
[06:36:51] Tanthrix: varun0: Probably both. From what I gather though there are no good software deinterlacers short of maybe one or two very expensive commercial ones.
[06:37:01] varun0: interesting
[06:37:20] Cromn: varun0: yes i couldn't find anything helpfull

[06:39:04] Tanthrix: Try --verbose all > file.txt

The only deinterlacer that made it look perfect without crazy flickering or polarization was my TV
[06:45:05] Tanthrix: stars*
[06:45:08] varun0: Tanthrix: yea I don't doubt it
[06:45:44] Tanthrix: Sleep well, and dream of better software deinterlacing methods
[06:46:00] varun0: Tanthrix: I don't think my 5086 does it, though

[06:46:09] Tanthrix: No, some site I found
[06:46:30] Tanthrix: And your TV must in some way if it supports 1080i/480i, which it must
[06:46:54] Tanthrix: Always depends on the set though – some are far worse than what mplayer has access to
[06:47:00] varun0: Tanthrix: hm....maybe some digging is in order

[07:09:59] juski: how are you trying to start mythtv? not with the 'mythtv' command I hope. the 'mythtv' command starts mythtv's frontend in tv mode already. what you really need to do is just bring up the frontend – and you do that with the *mythfrontend* command
[07:10:31] Tanthrix: He's getting a segfault upon starting mythtv-setup
[07:10:39] juski: ouch
[07:11:08] sion_: I have a question regarding my hauppauge pvr 150 on linux, it works (using ivtv and streaming it to mplayer), before I install mythtv I would like to know how to switch to composite in channel on the card
[07:11:32] juski: sion_: just for testing? the ivtvctl (or v4l2ctl) command is what you want
[07:12:08] sion_: juski, do you know the parameters ? mythtv will only make sense to install if composite works (digital tv decoder is my real tuner)
[07:12:11] Cromn: mythvt-setup is what i'm trying to run and i get the seg fault, but i also tryed mythfrontend and i also get the seg fault
[07:13:35] juski: sion_: ivtvctl -a $inputnum where $inputnum is a number from 0 to 5 IIRC. ivtvctl (or v4l2ctl) -n will show you which inputs are associated with each number
[07:14:00] juski: 0 is generally the tuner, and I think 1 is the 1st composite input
[07:14:37] juski: so you'd likely use ivtvctl -a 1 (or v4l2ctl -a 1). Maybe the v4l2ctl syntax is different, I've never used it
[07:14:42] sion_: juski, excellent, will try that after coffee, I have been pulling my hair out over this one.. worst is ivtv does not work with tvtime, because I would not use all the channel stuff in mythtv (decoder thing)
[07:15:05] juski: either way, using the command without any arguments will give you text describing the parameters
[07:15:44] sion_: juski, will check, thanks a lot, I was not aware of that command, tried ivtv-tune and could change to all BUT composite in (which must be done by tuner in kernel I guess)

[07:16:53] juski: sion_: related question – do you have a means of allowing mythtv to change channels on the digital TV box? you're sunk without one, really
[07:17:30] juski: Cromn: getting segfaults when you run those commands is bad news. are you running them from a terminal within an X session?
[07:18:02] jk1joel (jk1joel!i=nobody@ns.jk1.net) has joined #mythtv-users
[07:18:05] Cromn: juski: no
[07:18:16] sion_: juski, thats the issue, I don't, so I would set mythtv to external input and use my remote for the digital cable box to select channels.. not ideal, but other programs dont seem to handle a mpg stream (used tvtime in the past on another card)
[07:18:24] juski: Cromn: just from ssh or something? mythtv-setup needs an X server, as does mythfrontend
[07:18:49] juski: sion_: it's gonna make life very difficult for you, is all
[07:19:03] Cromn: i was just trying it fron the consol
[07:19:13] sion_: juski, which is sad, but if it handles the stream better then mplayer does, I am happy
[07:19:18] Cromn: i'll try it from within kde?
[07:19:19] juski: Cromn: you really need to run it from X
[07:19:30] juski: kde runs within X, so yes
[07:19:39] juski: within/on top of..
[07:20:40] juski: also sion_ just FYI, mythtv is impotent without EPG data. You'll be limited to recording one hour chunks of time in livetv, or else be restricted to scheduling manual recordings
[07:20:41] Cromn: no, i still get the seg fault
[07:21:23] juski: Cromn: it must be doing stuff before the segfault. gather up all the text output up to & including the segfault message & pop it into a pastebin
[07:22:21] Cromn: it's not outputing anything but the seg fault msg
[07:22:55] juski: Cromn: then you've got something more wrong than anybody else I've ever seen in this channel – and that's saying a lot
[07:23:37] Cromn: lol, well i like to bring a challenge
[07:23:54] juski: Cromn: FWIW, if I were you I'd think about not using mythtv. mythtv is great for TV stuff and all the other things it does but without TV, it's way too complicated for just being a media player
[07:24:17] sion_: juski, thats good to know... I could most likely stream longer sending output of /dev/video0 to a mpg file.. hmz.. I wonder if mythtv is the right solution for my crippled setup here..
[07:24:34] Cromn: yeah i agree with u at this point, i dont need the ui anyway
[07:24:53] sion_: juski, next time I should probably buy a nvtv card with a card reader to do digital
[07:25:24] juski: Cromn: if all you want to do is serve clients with media content, there are better ways. If all you want to do is play files from a share somewhere, look at geexbox
[07:25:57] juski: sion_: not in linux you wouldn't. no nvtv card drivers for linux whatsoever

[09:10:39] juski: rhollan: I use minimyth & I find that versions later than 0.20–19 just can't play back SDTV without gaps. I wouldn't care but CPU usage is about half in newer versions yet they still can't play without issues
[09:11:17] juski: I've spent *days* trying to narrow the problem down but I still keep having to revert to the version I use now
[09:12:14] juski: I'd experiment with building it myself but that is a very long arduous process. takes > 18 hours to build the whole distro on my fastest linux machine
[09:14:25] rhollan: juski: I can render 1080i without problems on a 1.3 GHz nanoITX
[09:14:31] otwin: hmm, i'm running svn r14008 on minimyth without these problems. building time for minimyth now got even longer thanks to mythbrowser dependencies – but you can disable it.
[09:15:50] rooaus: Danielk has posted on the mailing list that mythtv-vid needs testing... I feel a "svn merge" coming soon :)
[09:16:16] rhollan: Oh, BTW juski: I finally got my Myth box put together based on the nanoITX. 1/2 TB of included media goodness. All my CDs and DVDs ripped to it, and an 802.11preN USB dongle for networking
[09:16:18] juski: rhollan: I can render SDTV without problems on my m10k so long as I don't use a newer version. cpu usage is about 50% (as opposed to 25% or so) during playback but at least it copes
[09:16:33] rhollan: wierd. I am running 0.20-fixes
[09:16:38] rhollan: works fine
[09:16:54] juski: this is 0.20-fixes too, but minimyth uses what I'd call bleeding edge drivers
[09:17:38] juski: and neither the current version I've got or the newer ones can play SDTV without xvmc
[09:17:54] juski: a 1ghz CPU should cope with that pretty easily IMHO
[09:18:03] juski: even if it is a crippled C3
[09:18:37] rhollan: juski: I can play SDTV without xvmc, but need it for 1080i. Haven't found any 1080p samples I can try
[09:18:50] rhollan: I actually wanted to use a fanless 800MHz version
[09:18:53] juski: the only thing I've not yet tried is using my own xorg.conf file, but then I can't see what difference it'd make
[09:19:25] otwin: juski: are that pvr-x50 recordings?
[09:19:56] juski: if I could get away with spriting the box away to this room for any length of time I'd be working on making my own diskless install
[09:20:06] juski: otwin: pvr-150 & dvb-t
[09:20:19] juski: it's only the dvb-t recordings on BBC channels that give me hassle
[09:20:56] juski: disabling deinterlacing cures the problem & I'm not the only one to suspect the problem is caused by mythtv's video timing code
[09:21:43] juski: with the CPU usage being so low, there's not much else it can be IMHO
[09:22:08] juski: and otwin minimyth includes mythbrowser now? oh god
[09:22:39] otwin: juski: yes and that means kde libs...
[09:22:40] juski: I noticed pablo had included mythgame a while ago. it's not gonna be 'mini' much longer I fear ;)
[09:23:11] otwin: sometimes he's too nice – can't say no :-)
[09:24:06] juski: ubuntu works ok apart from occasionally messing up the audio config. I like having pcm routed to the spdif output so I can use my amp if I want to. sometimes when ubuntu boots that doesn't work – for no apparent reason :-\
[09:24:31] otwin: i wonder if my external laptop style psu would handle any d(r)ecent motherboard and cpu
[09:25:05] juski: I've yet to try a diskless knoppmyth install or something – maybe that's a quicker way to nix the problem
[09:25:26] otwin: and if I could cool it silently with a slim cooler that fits my hiper media case
[09:26:02] juski: otwin: I've considered one of those cases. would it be easy to mod it to make an IR window at the front?
[09:26:03] rhollan: hey, can I route audio to SPDIF output AND analog outputs? Sometimes I don't want to power up the amp and just use the Gateway speakerbar (/me is an ALSA noob)
[09:26:27] juski: rhollan: by default, all PCM should go to spdif, if the spdif output is enabled
[09:27:02] juski: in alsamixer there's what looks like a spdif volume control which is in fact a source selector. 0 usually routes pcm to spdif
[09:27:30] otwin: juski: my ir receiver is at the back and it works without problems – to mod the front, i am not sure – would have to check when i get home
[09:28:23] juski: otwin: been looking for a nice case with provision for an IR window at the front, without nasty audio/usb connections on the front panel. so far no dice. so much so I've started designing my own box
[09:30:32] otwin: juski: the problem with the case is the psu – it's too noisy, so I had to get an external one – and with that it's getting as expensive as other solutions
[09:30:48] rhollan: juski: so I can't have SPDIF AND analog output
[09:30:49] rhollan: ?
[09:30:51] rhollan: bummer
[09:30:55] juski: rhollan: no you can
[09:31:22] otwin: juski: it doesn't have an IR window, that's for sure.
[09:31:25] rhollan: juski: I needed some /etc/asound.conf voodoo to get audio to SPDIF
[09:31:45] juski: rhollan: nah. no need for such extreme measures in my experience
[09:32:07] rhollan: and that turned off analog audio output, though I'd be sure there'd be a way to enable both.
[09:32:29] rhollan: juski: well Ubuntu 7.04 + myth had the SPDIF enable give me lock but no audio
[09:32:54] juski: rhollan: play with alsamixer. there's what looks like a volume control for spdif.
[09:32:57] rhollan: it's not a biggie, just sometimes I don't want to turn on the big speakers
[09:33:06] rhollan: juski: didn't help.
[09:33:24] rhollan: I guess I have too severe an asound.conf that JUST enables SPDIF output
[09:33:26] juski: I got it to work in edgy, but it wouldn't work all the time
[09:34:14] rhollan: heh, I figured after spending DAYS ripping all my content, a backup would be a good idea, so Igot an external USB drive today and th mythbox is backing up content as I write
[09:34:18] rhollan: gonna take a while
[09:34:19] juski: the other thing against using ubuntu on my frontend is that after POST, I get nothing on the TV out until X starts
[09:35:04] juski: where the hell are all the instant-on boxes?!
[09:35:27] rhollan: juski: my monitor is currently a 24" 1920x1200 Gateway widescreen LCD
[09:35:35] rhollan: sol I get all POST goodness
[09:35:44] rhollan: (or badness, depending on asthetics)
[09:36:16] juski: now, if there was a upnp media player whose UI didn't *suck* ...
[09:36:48] rhollan: anyone here use MythPhone?
[09:37:01] rhollan: just wondering
[09:37:11] juski: there's another thing minimyth has had carted into it IIRC
[09:37:50] rhollan: I tried minimyth and decided that I wanted a box with content I could cart around, so went with Ubuntu + full Myth
[09:39:13] juski: another gripe about ubuntu was that it's just too slow to boot up, even after removing useless services
[09:39:42] juski: I've had my s100 box boot slack, to mythtv menus in < 20 secs
[09:39:57] juski: maybe that's the way I need to go
[09:40:03] rhollan: yeah, it takes me about a minute
[09:41:07] juski: somebody should make a series of motherboards with fast flash memory to store the OS. 1GB of fast flash is quite cheap now

[09:42:31] juski: though I'm sure that the storage latency isn't the reason for boot processes being so slow
[09:43:16] juski: otwin: do you use ram minimyth or nfs ?
[09:46:51] juski: since I'm running nfs anyway I might give the nfs root version a go
[09:49:27] juski: I need to get to the bottom of the playback problem if only for my own peace of mind
[09:50:01] juski: might be something I'm doing wrong – I mean I can't be the only person using it to play back dvb-t from BBC channels
[09:50:11] rhollan: I was torn to make a diskles front end or not, and decided that I wanted a convenient box I could move with content, though I suppose I could have just used an external USB drive, too (like I am using for backup) and boot the thing from flash.
[09:50:32] juski: probably something so obvious I've deliberately overlooked it (like the xorg.conf)
[09:52:16] BCMM: how do you do an unscheduled recording?
[09:52:35] BCMM: i mean is there a way to tell it to just record this channel, now, till i tell it to stop recording it, while i watch it?
[09:53:19] BCMM: i'm trying to digitise VHS tapes through my capture card, and they don't exactly have scheduled showing times
[09:58:43] ** sion_ watches some crappy TV just gratefull it works so well now **
[09:59:26] otwin: juski: ram minimyth
[10:06:48] BCMM: how do you rename a channel?
[10:09:06] Tanthrix: BCMM: You might just want to do cat /dev/whatever > file.mpg if all you're doing is digitizing tapes
[10:09:19] Tanthrix: Then ctrl-c out of it when you're done
[10:10:27] Tanthrix: Be careful though – if you plan on archiving them to dvds you might need to do some other things. IIRC the mpeg2 stream straight from a pvr card isn't completely dvd spec
[10:20:43] BCMM: Tanthrix: thats a point actually
[10:21:10] BCMM: (but you didn't know i had an MPEG-2 encoder capture device)
[10:21:44] BCMM: Tanthrix i've seen it suggested that some Hauppage cards output DVD-spec MPEG-2
[10:21:49] BCMM: dunno if mind eos
[10:22:08] BCMM: but TBH i don't actually know how to setup a dvd...
[10:22:17] BCMM: i mean the folder structure and all that
[10:22:41] BCMM: and i htink most tools just assume you'll want to transcode, cause they're really designed for burning pirate AVIs
[10:23:08] BCMM: from what i've seen, MythArchive looks easy
[10:23:16] BCMM: hmm
[10:23:30] BCMM: actually mytharchive lets you open arbitrary files doesn't it?
[10:24:05] BCMM: ah but
[10:24:10] BCMM: if i just cat it to a file
[10:24:16] BCMM: i can't watch while i record
[10:24:18] BCMM: and that's bad
[10:24:38] BCMM: cause i'd need to do something weird like get a small TV set just to find out when the tape finishes
[10:24:49] BCMM: is there no way to just say "record now"?
[10:25:40] juski: BCMM: schedule a manual recording on that input, longer than you need. then play the tape into mythtv, when the recording is finished, go into 'watch recordings', edit it to trim off the excess. then you can use mytharchive or whatever :)
[10:25:55] BCMM: ah ok
[10:26:11] juski: mythtv != vcr, which is why there's no 'record now' of much use. the max recording length you get with a source that doesn't have a programme guide is one hour
[10:26:22] BCMM: hmm there is really no way to just record till i tell it to stop?
[10:26:31] BCMM: i still don't see why not... ah well
[10:26:34] juski: yes, but within a one hour boundary
[10:27:17] juski: you could always make a dummy programme guide for that video source, and make the length of each 'dummy show' a couple of hours or more. that'd get around it
[10:27:21] BCMM: what is a manual recording? is that basically scheduling something to start in 1 minute and end in X minutes and then hitting play?
[10:27:41] juski: no, you schedule a manual recording in 'manage recordings'
[10:28:10] juski: if *all* you wanna do is archive tapes to DVD, mythtv isn't the best for that job
[10:31:44] BCMM: hmm how do i know when the job starts
[10:32:03] BCMM: well what is best for the job?
[10:33:57] juski: probably catting to a file and playing the file as you go with mplayer
[10:35:17] BCMM: juski: hmm mplayer can do that?
[10:35:24] BCMM: thanks, that sounds like a good solution
[10:35:53] BCMM: is there a flag i would need to pass to make it not check the file length at start of playback?
[10:36:06] juski: I don't think it'll check anyway
[10:36:12] juski: it should play until you stop it AFAIK
[10:36:52] BCMM: in any case mythtv is still useful to tune it
[10:37:14] juski: if the card isn't a pvr card, you won't be able to cat to a file though
[10:39:55] Dagmar: Okay, now that is dumb.
[10:40:17] Dagmar: There are tools that come with the ivtv driver source package which set the inputs and tuning parameters just fine
[10:40:40] Dagmar: You don't need a multi-hundred megabyte install of things to tune a freaking PVR card
[10:41:50] juski: there's a definite *need* for a tool to allow you to back up analogue tapes to a digital format but so far nobody has been assed enough to step up & write one :-P
[10:42:51] juski: unless said tapes are the most cherished home movies in the world I'd personally not bother & just buy DVDs instead of being a lame cheapskate
[10:43:38] juski: standalone dvd recorders are so cheap now it's hardly worth putting the time in
[10:44:12] rhollan: damn! It takes a *while* to backup 500GB of content to USB2 disk
[10:44:26] juski: an hour of my time is worth way more than $50, so you do your own sums
[10:44:42] Dagmar: Dude, it takes a "while" to back up 500Gb to another 500Gb drive, just going from PCI device to PCI device
[10:44:52] Dagmar: It takes bloody ages to go out through USB2
[10:45:05] rhollan: tell me about it.
[10:45:17] rhollan: But, after ripping it, I wanted a copy
[10:45:31] rhollan: I spent days ripping all my media
[10:45:46] rhollan: So I could shove it in an archive box and just playback from my myth box
[10:47:19] Dagmar: Crap. Leave it to gentoo to let things get stale
[10:47:38] rhollan: I guess I'll let it copy and check on it in the morning... er, later in the morning.

[13:06:40] styrmis: I would expect that this would work for machines with Qt3 only, and for those with both so long as QTDIR is set correctly. If so I was considering submitting it as a patch, minor as it is... any thoughts?
[13:06:54] juski: to avoid picking up those libs you could just have put -qt4 in your USE variable could you not?

[14:57:20] jams: jtmoney- drop it please

[14:57:27] jtmoney: not until juski admits he likes getting his shit packed
[14:57:38] juski: rofl
[14:57:45] mkrufky: why dont you kick him, GreyFoxx ?
[14:57:50] jtmoney: or admits that it's okay for people to be not 100% pleased with a project
[14:57:57] GreyFoxx: mkrufky:
[14:58:01] GreyFoxx: It's heading that way
[14:58:04] mkrufky: k
[14:58:18] GreyFoxx: jtmoney: just drop it
[14:58:21] jtmoney: mkrufky: is too good for an /ignore i see
[14:58:24] jtmoney: has to whine about it
[14:58:36] GreyFoxx: and it's deinfately ok for people to not be 100% pleased with anything they like
[14:58:38] jtmoney: mkrufky: were you a hall monitor?
[14:58:48] mkrufky: nope, i just got here and im being nosey
[14:58:55] jtmoney: [10:35] <juski> jtmoney: you know when you say stuff like "the ones that come with myth are a little lacking" – it's a big slap in the face to people who work on the project. Hardly going to motivate them to improve things, IS IT
[14:58:55] laga: GreyFoxx: i admire your patience
[14:58:58] mkrufky: jtmoney: but it is okay for people to be displeased with a project
[14:59:19] mkrufky: jtmoney: this type of thing might happen with open source ... developers work on what THEY WANT to work on
[14:59:34] mkrufky: jtmoney: you can complain if you like, but you should not be offensive about it
[14:59:54] mkrufky: at least, that's how *I* feel about that type of thing
[14:59:56] jtmoney: hah, it was juski who got his silk panties in a wad
[15:00:03] jtmoney: i asked one question and he attacks
[15:00:06] jtmoney: GOD FORBID
[15:00:12] GreyFoxx: laga: Hehe
[15:00:19] juski: I didn't resort to calling anybody *that* name though
[15:00:28] mkrufky: jtmoney: some people get a bit over-excited about some stuff.... it's up to other people to be the more mature person
[15:00:34] jtmoney: juski: you took it to defcon 2
[15:00:41] mkrufky: (not that im calling anybody else immature)
[15:00:51] mkrufky: but such ranting and flaming, trolling ... it's just not cool

[15:03:19] mkrufky: if you put up an ad & picture on craig's list, maybe somebody will volunteer to help explore your options, lol
[15:03:23] sion_: the world now is a better place
[15:03:46] Dr_willis: Get married, then your Sexual Orientation will be "not tonight i got a headache"
[15:03:47] Dr_willis: :)
[15:04:26] juski: become a theme designer with too many projects on the go. your orientation will be immaterial

[15:07:32] ** Dr_willis wonders how one even collects that stuff. **
[15:07:32] Dr_willis: :)
[15:07:38] sion_: maybe they are more creative males, many artists are gay too, many actors
[15:07:48] Dr_willis: counting the # of same nicks in #linux as in #GayLinux ?
[15:07:54] sion_: I bet Bill is gay too
[15:07:59] mkrufky: exactly... i'd imagine most gay linux developers have better things to talk about in devel chat rooms than sexuality
[15:08:33] juski: well yeah maybe in devel chatrooms ;)
[15:08:34] ** Dr_willis envisions a Theme discussion with mention of decopauge, and hints of floral backgrounds **

[15:09:48] Dr_willis: a Guy at work was selling these 'candels' in the glass jars the other day.. that was ok.. but when he had like 200 In his locker.. that was.. odd...
[15:09:54] juski: arghhh after my mammoth download session yesterday, teh intrewebs is very slow
[15:10:02] Dr_willis: Then he had the Catalog.... :) i quietly left.
[15:10:11] mkrufky: floral backgrounds, lol
[15:10:24] sion_: sounds like a scam ;-)
[15:11:01] Dr_willis: He is well... lets say – he has a very well decorated house. Actually I think he quit his job and became an interier decorator.
[15:11:14] jams: ooh the flowers themes could match the leafers theme
[15:11:16] Dr_willis: Wife went to one of his Rummage Sales.. said he had the 'nicest' stuff. :)
[15:11:30] Dr_willis: and LOTS of candels
[15:11:42] juski: so? my wife thought I was gay when she first saw me, so she says
[15:12:06] Dr_willis: I finialy broke my wife of the 'candel' addiction she had.
[15:12:20] Dr_willis: When the Coffe Table looks like a Bonfire when they are all lit.....

[15:35:16] bill2or3: the horror.
[15:35:18] mkrufky: i can get a bunch
[15:35:23] juski: I wonder what the legal position on that is.. a channel they hide behind mheg – but if you use a receiver platform where mheg doesn't work (or is disabled) you can see it
[15:35:34] mkrufky: i can see what the people upstairs are watching pay-per-view, lol
[15:35:39] bill2or3: mheg?
[15:35:53] mkrufky: mheg is a 2-way api
[15:36:03] mkrufky: meant for on-demand and stuff like that
[15:36:08] bill2or3: like for reporting ppg purchases?
[15:36:11] bill2or3: err, ppv
[15:36:13] mkrufky: perhaps
[15:36:15] mkrufky: yeah
[15:36:31] mkrufky: im not an expert on that, but thats what i gather ... am i wrong, juski ?
[15:36:34] juski: bill2or3: yeah it's used in the UK & Aus for 'interactive' TV services. Mostly one way in the implementation we've got here – used for games, news & weather info.. multiscreen channels...
[15:36:44] mkrufky: ok, i was right
[15:36:49] opello: multiscreen channels?
[15:37:05] opello: that sounds interesting
[15:37:24] juski: there's a way some providers can 'hide' a channel's video behind an interactive screen. you ring a phone number, they charge you money & give you a PIN code. type in the PIN on the STB and voila..
[15:37:40] juski: no encryption is being broken, so I figure it'd be legal
[15:37:40] opello: oh, not like different content on 2 monitors
[15:38:23] juski: opello: the multiscreen stuff is one video stream with X amount of audio tracks. the mheg app puts a box over one 'screen' to highlight it & switches the decoded audio to the right stream
[15:38:41] laga: that's really smart
[15:38:43] lexs: what decoder does mythtv use for h264?
[15:39:01] laga: almost as smart as CD "copy protection" which can be "circumvented" by disabled autostart in windows.
[15:39:03] janneg: libavcodec
[15:39:04] laga: lexs: ffmpeg.
[15:39:21] lexs: as i can decode a 8mbit h264 movie with 30% cpu with mplayer but i cant watch a 20mbit h264 with mythtv
[15:39:32] juski: opello: we get games too. mheg does java :-\
[15:39:49] opello: juski: heh, sounds interesting
[15:39:52] laga: juski: they also sell games for the original firmware of the s100 :>
[15:40:01] juski: laga: yeah lol. suckers
[15:40:17] juski: and they wonder why everybody is either hacking em to run linux or selling em
[15:41:15] juski: opello: some of the 'red button' stuff on bbc channels is really cool. when there's a bbc music event on we usually get live video of it, outside the normal schedule
[15:41:42] juski: same goes for sporting events. the bbc can show 2 or more courts of wimbledon without taking up any other channels

[15:54:58] sphery: janneg says he's been seeing it for a couple of months. stuarta just started seeing it (yesterday, I believe). I don't see it at all.
[15:55:34] sphery: So, changing fonts may/may not actually fix it.
[15:55:49] juski: ugh
[15:56:00] sphery: Yeah.
[15:56:29] juski: well, if there's a 'may not' there's not much point changing my osd themes yet then
[15:57:07] sphery: For a while, I was terrified that it was the FreeFont font upgrade I requested (I use Retro, which doesn't use FreeSans), but Janne says that it works in isthmus, which does use FreeFont (and his system is one that does show the problem in some themes).
[15:57:36] juski: I set my frontend to use freesans in the OSD anyway – or is that overridden by the theme?
[15:57:43] TimothyP: :(
[15:57:43] sphery: If anything, a quick patch for janne that allows him to try blootube-osd or PG-osd with another font could be useful...
[15:57:57] TimothyP: I'm trying to run mythfilldatabase and I get segmentation fault (core dumped)
[15:58:17] ** sphery thinks juski should be teaching how the fonts work... **
[15:58:23] juski: sphery: I dunno how that'd work
[15:58:28] sphery: AIUI, the theme chan choose to name a font in the font element
[15:58:33] sphery: If so, that font is used.

[15:58:57] sphery: If not, the OSD font is used.
[15:59:09] janneg: I can change the fonts in the osd myself then I get home
[15:59:31] sphery: Or, just comment out the <filename> elements...
[15:59:52] sphery: Definitely worth a try.
[16:00:05] simcop2387-tv: aha if i run it as root it plays back better...
[16:00:10] juski: IMHO we should remove the option to have a mono spaced font in the OSD anyway – it always looks crap
[16:00:15] TimothyP: When I try the mythtv-frontend then I get signal 93% S/N 4.8db BE 0 (1__) No Loc
[16:00:59] sphery: BTW, juski, I thought of you when I read this: http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/mythtv/users/281873#281873
[16:01:03] juski: sphery: there'd probably be no harm in me updating my osd themes to remove the font coding anyway
[16:01:24] sphery: "You are right, with a different font (I tried comic sans) it still doesn't look that good"
[16:01:27] sphery: weren'
[16:01:28] juski: comic sans.. roflmao
[16:01:37] sphery: t you just talking about some user switching to comic?
[16:02:24] juski: no, it was a comment somebody (gbee I think) made about half expecting to see tickets saying "xyz theme looks crap with comic sans"
[16:02:46] sphery: If you remove the font filename, then the user has full control over what font is used--and, as you said, could choose Comic Sans (assuming they put it in the mythtv share dir) and "ruin" the design
[16:02:52] juski: meaning "well DUH – everything looks crap with comic sans"
[16:02:59] sphery: Agreed.
[16:03:01] juski: sphery: on their own head be it
[16:03:38] sphery: As long as you can live with someone screwing up your design, inviting friends over, and influencing their impressions... :)
[16:03:47] juski: comic sans is barely even good enough for church parish newsletters & should be avoided at all costs – I don't even think it has ironic uses
[16:04:06] opello: hrm, that link says he exports the captions to a srt file ... wonder how? i could use that sometimes
[16:04:08] sphery: (Not that the Myth world is big enough that a lot of people would be influenced)
[16:04:20] sphery: opello: You'll have to ask him.

[16:06:31] sphery: Bad way of saying, "Welcome back!"

[16:07:41] sphery: mljohns4: use a different video renderer--one that's not in 0.20-fixes.
[16:08:03] sphery: Such as the OpenGL renderer (or is it the XvMC OpenGL renderer, or both?)
[16:08:28] sphery: In other words, for now, you don't. In the future, you'll be able to.

[16:09:10] TimothyP: big suprise :d
[16:09:15] mljohns4: yes
[16:09:19] sphery: If not, you're not using the opengl video renderer (because it doesn't exist)
[16:09:58] mljohns4: Is this something that is available in the .21 branch
[16:10:14] sphery: Then, you'll have to play around with the renderers (and verify that it's using the one you asked for, rather than falling back to another because the requested one won't work).
[16:10:22] sphery: Nope. Only mythtv-vid branch.
[16:10:28] sphery: Not 0.20-fixes, not SVN trunk.
[16:10:58] mljohns4: I'll check my logs and verify mythtv-vid – - thanks
[16:11:50] juski: sphery: just commented out the font defs & committed them. if it helps, it helps – if not – no big deal

[16:13:04] jams: man php-syslog is way more complex then it needs to be

[16:15:33] sphery: Yeah, makes a lot of sense since OSD is only used during playback, but for someone who's trying to change the appearance of the OSD, it may not seem so straightforward.
[16:16:12] sphery: Especially when they see all the other font stuff in the Appearance menus.

[16:20:52] sphery: janneg: You around?
[16:21:49] TimothyP: anybody any idea why mythtv can't get a loc on dvb-s channels while szap can, because google isn't helping at the moment
[16:21:51] ** Beirdo pouts **
[16:22:02] Beirdo: stupid E4500 has 3 seemingly dead disks
[16:22:20] juski: heh. wondered why I'd not got an email about the commit I just made. I hadn't made it yet
[16:22:48] sphery: Beirdo: make sure you turn off the computer (or turn on the A/C) before opening it: http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,291543,00.html
[16:22:59] juski: TimothyP: did you import a channels.conf file or scan in mythtv-ssetup ?
[16:23:08] Beirdo: muh?
[16:23:09] lexs: if i go inte Schedueled Recordings i can see that it is recording and i press enter and then "Stop recording" but it doesnt stop :(
[16:23:27] TimothyP: I imported
[16:23:30] TimothyP: no good?
[16:23:35] juski: lexs: try deleting it from 'watch recordings'
[16:23:47] Slyboots: TimothyP: Check to make sure you have myth configured correctly
[16:23:50] lexs: but i dont want to delete it
[16:23:53] lexs: :(
[16:23:58] sphery: lexs: try stopping from watch recordings
[16:24:02] TimothyP: Slybook I have :)
[16:24:02] Slyboots: I had that issue where I had selected the card a as a V4L instead of a DVB card, which screwed everything up
[16:24:12] TimothyP: I used DVB
[16:24:20] Slyboots: No idea then ;) ^^
[16:24:25] Beirdo: come on, you stupid drive, spin up!
[16:24:35] TimothyP: and aside from that I still have the usuall mythtv-backend crashes and the cannot connect to backend messages at random times :p
[16:24:40] juski: TimothyP: stop mythbackend, go into mythtv-setup, re-scan existing transports. that *should* work
[16:24:49] Beirdo: stupid busted SCA SCSI drives
[16:24:50] TimothyP: juski ok :d
[16:24:56] juski: and of course restart mythbackend afterwards
[16:25:28] TimothyP: :)
[16:25:35] TimothyP: is it normal only root can start/restart it?
[16:25:54] juski: only somebody with root privileges can start & stop init scripts, generally
[16:25:55] sphery: Normal (and desired)
[16:26:06] TimothyP: oh because a lot of the guides said that mythtv should do that
[16:26:06] TimothyP: :)
[16:26:26] sphery: IMHO, only root should be able to start it, but should start it as a non-root users (i.e. mythtv)
[16:26:54] sphery: That way, errant keystrokes won't cause you to miss a recording when it's accidentally shut down
[16:26:54] TimothyP: juski I did that scna thing it took les than 3 seconds is that normal?
[16:27:37] juski: TimothyP: doesn't sound right
[16:28:24] TimothyP: :d
[16:28:25] lexs: sphery: i cant find any stop recording option there
[16:28:26] lexs: :(
[16:28:36] sphery: TimothyP: might want to go into mythtv-setup and try Delete all capture cards (not Delete all capture cards on <hostname>) and Delete all video sources (again, must be Delete all), then reconfigure
[16:28:47] sphery: You may have garbage that prevents it from working
[16:28:59] sphery: lexs: Is the recording highlighted in a different color?
[16:29:08] TimothyP: ok hang on I'll do that, and am I allowed to import the channels.conf or should I use a different method?
[16:29:21] lexs: sphery: yes, purple
[16:29:27] lexs: almost pink
[16:29:35] lexs: or the text is that color
[16:29:42] sphery: TimothyP: I use mythtv to scan, because that works well with, er, mythtv
[16:30:12] sphery: lexs: OK, then when you highlight the recording (in the right column) and hit m is one of the options, "Stop Recording"
[16:30:52] sphery: lexs: If not, cancel out of the menu and highlight the recording and hit i and see if one of the options is "Stop Recording"
[16:31:02] sphery: It may also be in a sub-menu called, "Recording Options"...
[16:31:13] sphery: (These are old brain cells I'm relying on...)
[16:31:39] TimothyP: yes but I have to specify parameters for full scan (tuned) and I have no idea what thouse are
[16:32:38] lexs: sphery: in that submenu there is only "Edit recording", "show program", and "change recording title"
[16:32:42] lexs: nothing more
[16:33:07] sphery: TimothyP: Sorry. I don't know the scanning stuff well enought to help with that (I've done it exactly once in my life :).
[16:33:26] TimothyP: :d
[16:33:36] TimothyP: you lucky b**** :p
[16:33:57] sphery: OK, it's not in the Recording Options menu, it should be 2 items above that menu (above "Mark as Watched/Unwatched")

[16:35:11] sphery: lexs: is the recording you're trying to stop a LiveTV recording? I.e. did you get it by going to Watch TV?
[16:35:40] sphery: If so, your frontend probably crashed and the backend thinks it's still watching LiveTV, so you would like to stop the recording.
[16:35:54] crudpuppy: I've had this issue before but can not seem to remember how to fix – pvr150 goto watch live tv and it creates the mpg file but then in frontend log says can't open it it with a (fd -1)
[16:36:02] tcpsyn: Anyone use mythphone?
[16:36:14] lexs: sphery: yeah, i was in watch tv, pushed r to record and the r to cancel
[16:36:15] sphery: lexs: But, if the backend thinks that the frontend is watching LiveTV, it won't provide the option to stop recording, so you'll have to shut down the backend to get it to stop.
[16:36:17] lexs: it worked fine
[16:36:39] sphery: So, you were able to cancel it?
[16:36:46] lexs: yes
[16:36:48] sphery: If so, it should have stopped recording.
[16:36:49] lexs: anyways
[16:36:57] lexs: it restarted the backend now
[16:37:13] TimothyP: another werid thing about mythbackend
[16:37:40] TimothyP: whenever you use /etc/init.d/mythbackend restart it says its not running but when you do /etc/init.d/mythtbackend start it says it's running

[16:39:55] TimothyP: they are so cheap these days
[16:40:28] sphery: TimothyP: Don't know why that would happen. It's probably specific to your start scripts. You might get more help if you mention which distro you're using (and, if FC/RH, try upgrading to the most-current init script from SVN trunk: http://svn.mythtv.org/trac/browser/trunk/myth . . . init_scripts )
[16:40:49] lexs: im still kinda disturbed that i cant watch hdtv on a core 2 duo e6600

[16:47:56] juski: tcpsyn: channels don't get tuned with digital services – well not as such. channels are taken from a transponder (aka multiplex) – which needs to be tuned to. Each transponder can carry several channels
[16:47:59] sphery: lexs: "soon" we should have parallelized decoding in ffmpeg that should make any dual-core proc capable of doing H.264 playback.
[16:48:08] sphery: "soon" means within a year or so
[16:48:09] lexs: when is soon?
[16:48:25] juski: it's coming along nicely, I heard
[16:48:29] sphery: If ffmpeg gets it in time, it will be there for mythtv 0.21
[16:48:40] lexs: eg is it okay to but together a e6600 htpc
[16:48:42] sphery: If not, you'll have to use SVN trunk after 0.21
[16:48:44] juski: sphery: MIGHT be
[16:48:57] lexs: or should i go for a p4
[16:49:03] tcpsyn: juski, er. I don't know if I understand. Will I just get good reception, or do I have to mess with it?
[16:49:25] sphery: lexs: I'd say a Core 2 will always be better than a P4 (NetBust)
[16:49:27] juski: tcpsyn: there's no fine tuning to do, if that's what you mean. digital is either there or it's not (mostly)
[16:49:36] tcpsyn: that's what I wanted to know.
[16:49:39] sphery: And, with the future parallelized decoding, a Core 2 Duo will be good.

[17:07:53] tjcarter: sphery: for Cablecard?
[17:08:40] tjcarter: Cablecard should give you an MPEG stream just like the ATSC encoders that support clear QAM.
[17:08:51] lexs: sphery: the e6600 can be overclocked to 3ghz stable
[17:08:52] lexs: i think
[17:09:10] sphery: No, I'm talking component capture without hardware encoder
[17:09:31] juski: tjcarter: you're forgetting that cable card $stuff is locked down to specific hardware – i.e. the base machine
[17:09:33] tjcarter: well I would want the hardware encoder  ;)
[17:09:34] sphery: lexs: But I'd still be surprised if a 3GHz Core 2 could handle it...

[17:10:21] sphery: tjcarter: component capture is definitely possible with an ASIC, but still rather expensive
[17:10:38] sphery: I'd say give it 3–5years...
[17:11:03] lexs: actually, i can watch it just fine
[17:11:22] tjcarter: especially since it is pillarboxed on my Mac regardless of what I do, then letterboxed by my cablebox on S-Video output, then possibly pillarboxed again by the channel.
[17:11:23] lexs: seems like it peaks at 80% cpu
[17:11:57] sphery: There was a time when real-time playback of 480p60 (720x480@60fps) wasn't possible with a general-purpose CPU (and that's the only reason for the existence of--and the only use for--the Hauppauge PVR-350).
[17:12:07] sphery: lexs: cool. Might be the way to go.
[17:12:10] tjcarter: If I could fix the pillarboxing on my Mac, I would be somewhat less annoyed.

[17:20:52] olds: what distro
[17:20:55] tcpsyn: ubuntu
[17:20:59] olds: yup
[17:21:12] Slyboots: Oink.
[17:21:16] tcpsyn: whats I gotsta do
[17:21:21] Slyboots: Install libmythtv
[17:21:29] Slyboots: sudo apt-get install libmythtv
[17:21:29] olds: sudo nano /etc/ld.so.conf
[17:21:32] Slyboots: :D
[17:21:38] olds: add this to that file:
[17:21:39] olds: /usr/local/lib
[17:21:47] olds: then type "ldconfig"
[17:21:52] olds: you are done
[17:22:10] juski: whoah. nobody admits to using nano here, lest the trolls get em
[17:22:17] ** Slyboots uses vim, Nano blows **
[17:22:19] tcpsyn: heh
[17:22:21] tcpsyn: nano
[17:22:21] olds: it's on the wiki

[17:22:32] ** olds knows how to copy and paste **
[17:22:38] Slyboots: I hated vim at first, but its not actuly that bad
[17:22:57] juski: now my regex-fu is improving I might take another snifter at vi
[17:22:59] olds: did that work tcpsyn?
[17:23:31] ** mkrufky uses nano, and the trolls can fump themselves **
[17:23:38] tcpsyn: yep
[17:23:51] olds: cool
[17:23:53] tcpsyn: thanks man
[17:23:57] fryfrog: did you compile myth on your own?
[17:24:00] olds: np, I had the same problem
[17:24:02] tcpsyn: slyboots, vi is critical.
[17:24:08] tcpsyn: fryfrog, yes.
[17:24:10] fryfrog: you could also have done ./configure with --prefix=/usr
[17:24:19] olds: that is the other option :)
[17:24:20] tjcarter: vim is critical. vi you can keep.
[17:24:35] tjcarter: Granted, everyone should know enough basic vi to handle system repair
[17:24:58] juski: i
[17:24:58] juski: d
[17:24:59] Slyboots: hRight, I need to figure out why listing data is not working for me..
[17:25:01] juski: wq!
[17:25:21] Slyboots: If I use the "Over-the-Air" data, I dont get any schedual infomatino past the current showing
[17:25:57] Slyboots: If I use the uk_rt xmltv grabber, I get schedualing, but the channels dont work I have my "actual" channels, then fake ones with the listing data
[17:26:45] mkrufky: Slyboots: you can edit the channel configuration via mythweb and move those channel ids around such that the schedule data hits the real channels instead of the fake ones
[17:26:55] Slyboots: Hm
[17:27:39] sphery: tjcarter: I agree about the HDCP.
[17:27:48] Slyboots: Will take a look about that
[17:28:22] sphery: And I also hate the fact that the audio connection I want (8-channel PCM audio) is only available in HDMI 1.3+ since I hate HDMI because of the HDCP.
[17:28:56] Slyboots: heh, my card only does Mono :P
[17:29:33] sphery: Yeah, but you could copy that one channel to 8. :)
[17:29:59] Slyboots: ... What would be the point in that
[17:30:07] sphery: Slyboots: the problem with your listings is that you have 2 sets of channels. You need to match up the xmltvid's (from uk_rt) with channels from your scan.
[17:30:23] Slyboots: sphery: *nods* Im trying to find out how to do that now
[17:30:38] sphery: To clean up the DB, you'll want to do a "Delete all video sources" (and it has to be a "Delete all video sources"--deleting them individually won't work)
[17:30:45] sphery: Then, do a scan.
[17:30:53] Slyboots: Right..?
[17:31:04] sphery: Then, download listings to an XML file using tv_grab_uk_rt
[17:31:46] sphery: Then, look at the channel mappings in the XML file and match callsigns/xmltv with the channels in the DB using mythtv-setup or MythWeb's channel editor.
[17:32:00] ** lexs hopes that intel ipp threaded h264 decoder will compile **
[17:32:01] sphery: callsigns/xmltvid
[17:32:38] Slyboots: Right..;
[17:32:40] sphery: I'm sure it compiles with the Intel compiler (like you'd ever see that on my systems).
[17:32:43] tjcarter: sphery: for a couple hundred dollars and some insider connections on the AVS forum, probably you could get a device that successfully kills the HDCP.
[17:32:59] lexs: sphery: actually, you can specify gcc to be used :)
[17:33:14] sphery: And a conviction under the DMCA, too, right?
[17:33:51] sphery: lexs: Cool. I didn't think Intel acknowledged its existence (other than in their benchmarketing materials).

[17:43:48] sphery: Slyboots: there's a second page. You have to hit the Next button (which may be hidden)
[17:44:11] sphery: the ~/.mythtv/*.xmltv configures xmltv to only download listings for those channels you want
[17:44:14] Slyboots: .. The only buttons are "Back" and "Finish"
[17:45:05] Slyboots: There is a list of the channels, selecting one brings up some settings about its name, callsign and a few other settings (Comercial free station and whatnot) thats pretty much it
[17:45:13] tjcarter: lexs: Nah, it's part of this push to make Spanish the unofficially official second language of the United States. Old guard English speakers use C++. Modern progressive Spanish speakers and Bilingual people use Ñ++.

[17:47:23] tjcarter: It also have grammar less strict for people with not much school.
[17:48:02] Slyboots: Version : 0.20-svn20070122–0.0ubuntu6
[17:48:06] Slyboots: tahts from the offical repo
[17:49:32] tjcarter: it also adds things like tristate booleans.. Now you can assign true (or sure, okay, sounds_good, etc), false (or no_way, nah, etc), and a new third state whatever_man..
[17:49:38] juski: Slyboots: run mythfrontend --version & get a surprise
[17:50:01] tjcarter: Ñ++ is the future of programming, and Intel will bring it to you!
[17:50:19] juski: tjcarter: you can't have a tristate boolean. booleans are either 1 or 0 damnit. you can have a tristate 'thing' though
[17:50:51] tjcarter: juski: probably you don't want to hear about floating point booleans in QuakeC?
[17:50:52] bill2or3: "maybe"
[17:51:07] juski: facking charlatans
[17:51:22] tjcarter: all numbers are floating point, and booleans are numbers, therefore booleans are floating point.
[17:51:37] bill2or3: I cant argue with logic like that.
[17:51:40] bill2or3: you win!
[17:51:40] juski: and this is now officially annoying
[17:52:10] tjcarter: They are still evaluated to 0 or not 0, but you can assign meaning to certain values of not 0 that weren't intended by the original developers =D

[19:20:43] lexs: seems like it is kinda good: http://tvguide.swedb.se/tv
[19:21:05] lexs: Aval0n-: have you bought your caard yet?
[19:21:30] Aval0n-: no
[19:21:39] Aval0n-: i am researching as much as possible before I do
[19:21:57] Aval0n-: i did buy a kglobe 115 and 2 pvr 150's
[19:22:18] lexs: most (if not all) motherboards have a little header that you connect with a cable to a connector on the graphics card (if it has hdmi)
[19:22:45] Aval0n-: you are kidding
[19:22:47] Aval0n-: that's AWESOME
[19:22:59] Aval0n-: I'll make sure that I buy a motherboard and vid card that has that...
[19:23:00] lexs: like, i will buy: http://global.msi.com.tw/index.php?func=prodd . . . ;cat2_no=170
[19:23:15] lexs: and it has it: "1 x S/SPDIF out connector"
[19:23:24] lexs: and the video card has it as well
[19:23:32] lexs: the cable is included too :)
[19:24:01] Aval0n-: that have onbard hdmi?

[19:24:53] lexs: hm, i dont know
[19:24:55] DanielHolth: Would it be normal to have to recompile mythtv-0.20-svn to get XvMC on an nVIDIA GeForce MX 420 working? It complains about invalid parameters to the xvmc setup...
[19:25:18] lexs: Aval0n-: ill dig up a link to the video card
[19:25:19] lexs: sec

[19:26:11] DanielHolth: with my "linux-supported" card that includes a version of xine that doesn't compile, very disappointing.
[19:26:27] Aval0n-: cool
[19:26:32] lexs: Aval0n-: http://www.webhallen.com/prod.php?id=68716
[19:26:36] sphery: DanielHolth: the xine from pchdtv?

[19:26:52] sphery: Hmmm. I've never used it. Didn't see a reason to.
[19:27:00] Aval0n-: cool I saw that card for 73 bux

[19:31:42] lexs: so it must have a spdif conenctor
[19:31:44] sphery: I'd guess you'd need an 8-channel sound card connected to the video card, but the S/PDIF connectors on sound cards/motherboards only support 2-channel PCM or multi-channel compressed audio (AC-3/DTS)
[19:31:49] Aval0n-: excellent
[19:32:00] sphery: So, I'm wondering how you can get 8-channel PCM to the card
[19:32:46] Aval0n-: fantastic lexs you've sealed the card that i'm buying thanks man
[19:32:52] Aval0n-: that card good enough to play WoW?
[19:32:56] sphery: S/PDIF is amazingly old tech (and I'm surprised it's lasted that long)

[19:38:37] lexs: sphery: can you send me a show at the speed?
[19:38:40] lexs: so i can try
[19:38:54] Slyboots: Also.. I have a major weird problem when I try to build the plugins, or themes
[19:39:05] sphery: We actually need someone to write a library that uses OpenGL GLSL to decode H.264 on the GPU (because there aren't really any X API's appropriate for it).
[19:39:25] lexs: that would be cool
[19:39:28] sphery: (though it could be shoehorned into XvMC, I think XvMC should just die...)
[19:39:40] Slyboots: When I run "./configure" Iget "Project ERROR: Please run .configure"
[19:39:43] Slyboots: So uh..
[19:39:49] Slyboots: Im not quite sure what the heck is up with that
[19:40:05] lexs: Slyboots: maybe some dep that requires ./configure?
[19:40:12] lexs: in a subdir
[19:40:12] sphery: And since GLSL would be a standard that's not vendor-dependent (althouth the pixel shader code would likely be even GPU dependent), it's "cleaner"
[19:40:17] Slyboots: lexs: what do you mean..\
[19:40:51] lexs: the configure script may try run some script in a dep dir (im just guessing)
[19:41:02] Slyboots: for the themes?

[19:42:27] sphery: To The Best Of My Knowledge
[19:42:37] Slyboots: ah
[19:42:53] sphery: configure runs qmake
[19:43:14] sphery: so, it seem slike something about your configure is messed up so only the qmake gets run...
[19:44:03] sphery: And, BTW, you are running the configure in the top-level dirs, right (mythtv, mythplugins, myththemes), not in subdirs

[21:33:49] Kernel: how can i toggle subtitles on or off?
[21:34:40] Kernel: im having issues with playing dvds in mythdvd. but mythdvd uses mplayer. so i found out how to switch subtitles in mplayer(hit j) but when in myth this slows the video down.
[21:35:11] fryfrog: you could use the internal player to do dvds
[21:35:17] fryfrog: then you just use the normal myth menu

[21:36:02] Kernel: well when setting up mythdvd its says internal i hit ok then the next screen has a mplayer command
[21:36:08] Kernel: thats using mplayer right?
[21:36:12] tcpsyn: Just hangs at "No Jobs. Checking and/or waiting for DVD"
[21:36:27] tcpsyn: I'm trying to transcode
[21:36:32] Kernel: and also how would i toggle the subtitles of and on in regular myth?
[21:36:48] Kernel: im trying to set this up with a key on my remote control(the yellow button)
[21:38:24] fryfrog: maybe change that to "Internal"?
[21:38:41] sphery: tcpsyn: sounds like you're not running mtd ( http://mythtv.org/docs/mythtv-HOWTO-20.html#ss20.3 )
[21:38:45] fryfrog: humm, was the "Internal" dvd player in svn -fixes?
[21:38:51] Kernel: fryfrog: ok so change the mplayer command to just "Internal"
[21:38:52] fryfrog: i'm using svn head from a few weeks ago
[21:39:06] fryfrog: Kernel: I"m not sure, so copy down the command in case you need to "fix" It :)
[21:39:20] Kernel: fryfrog: hmm ok. will do
[21:39:31] Kernel: do you know how to change subtitles in the Internal player?
[21:39:45] Kernel: im googling and cant find out how to
[21:40:14] fryfrog: M for menu
[21:40:20] fryfrog: then poke around for the sub-title menu, i thnk
[21:40:39] Kernel: hmm damn. i was hoping i could hit like "t" or some key to do it....
[21:41:01] Kernel: im trying to bind it to one button on my remote control.
[21:41:39] fryfrog: oh, you mean like *one* button that turns subs on/off?
[21:41:48] fryfrog: there may be one, but i don't know it off the top of my head
[21:41:59] Kernel: yea ok
[21:42:12] Kernel: and my dvd command was set to Internal. the next screen was for vcd
[21:42:13] fryfrog: i know on some of the *real* tvs i've used, the mute key turns subs on
[21:42:19] fryfrog: i dunno if it does that in myth

[22:57:50] Beirdo: heh
[22:58:02] Beirdo: hate to say it, but why bother?
[22:58:12] pat_: all his home machines run solaris
[22:58:16] Beirdo: especially with xen going into Solaris 10 in an update or two
[22:58:25] Beirdo: it's in Opensolaris now...
[22:58:30] GreyFoxx: It's not just a matter of getting the mythbackend/frontend to compile and run
[22:58:31] pat_: yep
[22:58:31] GreyFoxx: It
[22:58:46] GreyFoxx: s really a matter of the hardware/drivers for the various capture cards/dvb/firewire/etc
[22:58:46] Beirdo: it's all the drivers for the video capture that's the issue
[22:59:11] pat_: oh, I'm sure he'll give it up as futile after a while. but he is a persistant bugger.
[22:59:14] Beirdo: if someone wants to pay me to do so, I'd gladly make Solaris 10 drivers... send me the hardware and pay me for my time, I'm there
[22:59:28] Beirdo: x86, then I'll do Sparc :)
[22:59:31] Beirdo: heh
[22:59:40] pat_: it'll take a while
[22:59:56] Beirdo: for Sparc, someone will have to send me a PCI IO board for my E4500 that I was trying to get running today
[23:00:09] pat_: (he's a kernel hacker, he'd probably do his own drivers for his hardware)
[23:00:20] Beirdo: heh.
[23:00:40] Beirdo: well, I'd love to get more stuff running in Solaris, but to be honest, I don't see the point
[23:01:04] pat_: we just got opensolaris and xen going on another of my friends home server
[23:01:06] Beirdo: Linux and Solaris are so nearly identical at the user programming level lately
[23:01:17] pat_: works well
[23:01:23] Beirdo: yeah, I have that running as a domU on my Linux file server
[23:02:07] pat_: me personally, I've only looked over people's shoulders as they've used solaris. I'm happy with linux for my personal use
[23:02:15] Beirdo: which reminds me, need to restart it since I took that server down today to perform DVDROM surgery
[23:02:45] Beirdo: Getting the frontend working on Solaris should be quite simple
[23:02:59] Beirdo: the backend... not so simple, not if you wanna capture :)
[23:03:12] Beirdo: and without capture, hardly any point for a backend

[23:09:59] Beirdo: bah, can't be any worse than the crappy cable provider I'm stuck with
[23:10:24] rhollan: $109.95 just to get a static IP address... too far from CO for ADSL, cable is Time-Warner (i.e. RoadRunner), so I'm stuck wuth their busines class service
[23:10:38] rhollan: 10M down 1.5M up, 1 static IP. $109.95 a month
[23:10:42] Beirdo: bah, just get a dynamic IP.
[23:10:51] Beirdo: jeez, I wish I could get that here
[23:10:51] GreyFoxx: do you actually REQUIRE a static IP ?
[23:10:52] rhollan: I like to sink my own email for hollan.org
[23:11:07] Beirdo: so use dyndns service and point your MX at the dyndns
[23:11:20] Beirdo: and get a backup MX
[23:11:24] Beirdo: not that hard to do
[23:11:56] rhollan: won't work Beirdo: IP address will not reverse-resolve to the dyndns name. Some MTAs are smart and check that.
[23:12:17] Beirdo: anyways, I have 512k/256k crappy dynamic IP... and pay $40/month for that
[23:12:21] GreyFoxx: rhollan: Setup a smarthost, so your mail server sends all mail to your ISP for delivery
[23:12:32] GreyFoxx: rather than delivers directly
[23:12:43] Beirdo: some MTAs are stupid and check that you mean
[23:12:56] rhollan: GreyFoxx: inbound email is what I care about. Setting that up for my domain would cost at least as much as hosting it myself
[23:13:04] Beirdo: anyways, puppy's whining
[23:13:05] Beirdo: BRB
[23:13:29] rhollan: I donno, 10x1.5 doen't strike me as bad for $110 a month
[23:13:46] Beirdo: so why are you whining about that?
[23:13:49] rhollan: and they're reverse-resolve the IP address to whatevr domain I want.
[23:13:59] rhollan: because I didn't expect to not be able to get DSL
[23:14:02] Beirdo: heh
[23:14:03] rhollan: I'm 24kft from the CO
[23:14:09] Beirdo: I wish I could get DSL...
[23:14:11] GreyFoxx: I don't see either the dyndns option nor the smarthost for outbound would cost anything (assuming you have free DNS)
[23:14:30] rhollan: GreyFoxx: who will host my inbound email?
[23:14:35] rhollan: for hollan.org
[23:14:39] Beirdo: you will
[23:14:55] Beirdo: what part of dyndns with the MX pointing at it do you not understand?
[23:14:57] GreyFoxx: you do, the MX record references a host for example "blah.dyndns.blah"
[23:15:12] Beirdo: and getting a backup MX is quite cheap also
[23:15:13] GreyFoxx: you keep blah./dyndns.blah" up to date with software on your pc automatically
[23:15:17] Beirdo: unless you do spamming.
[23:15:42] pat_: editdns has free backup mx services and free dns hosting
[23:15:43] rhollan: Beirdo: no, so spam, no open relay either.
[23:16:00] Beirdo: then I doubt a backup MX service would have any issues with you
[23:16:03] rhollan: The problem you see is that some MTAs make sure the IP address reverse-resolves to the domain name
[23:16:17] Beirdo: they shouldn't
[23:16:20] GreyFoxx: We do free backup MX and DNS for our ISP and colo customers, but not for anyone outside
[23:16:24] Beirdo: that's lame and stupid
[23:16:26] rhollan: I've gotten burned that way
[23:16:31] GreyFoxx: rhollan:not for mail delivery
[23:16:42] Beirdo: then email their admins and tell them they are stupid
[23:16:49] rhollan: GreyFoxx: yup, email delivery
[23:16:55] GreyFoxx: They will do it for you sending mail to THEM, but not for them sending to you
[23:16:56] rhollan: started bouncing.
[23:17:07] Beirdo: many many people use one IP with many different names, and with email
[23:17:49] Beirdo: if somebody has their MTA setup to dump incoming emails that anally, they are being retarded
[23:17:58] Beirdo: and I sure won't play along :)
[23:18:03] rhollan: Beirdo: another problem: if I have residential service, inbound ports are bound to be blocked, particularly port 25 and possibley VoIP ports
[23:18:08] GreyFoxx: Beirdo: For incomign it's faily common
[23:18:14] GreyFoxx: fairly
[23:18:29] Beirdo: yeah, but that's overcomable with smarthost
[23:18:33] pat_: that's why you use your ISPs mailserver as a smarthost for outgoing mail
[23:18:34] rhollan: GreyFoxx & Beirdo: no outgoing to me was rejected by the sending MTA
[23:18:50] GreyFoxx: rhollan: That person was broken then
[23:18:52] Beirdo: OK, that's stupid
[23:19:04] rhollan: I dunno, I figured it was a common thing to do
[23:19:08] GreyFoxx: No
[23:19:21] GreyFoxx: verifying it for incoming is common
[23:19:26] GreyFoxx: but never for outgoing
[23:19:28] Beirdo: if they want to filter incoming email uber-anally, that's one thing
[23:19:33] rhollan: Anyway, I still don't want to have an anal block everything ISP, fine me $500 for sshing into my own box.
[23:19:40] Beirdo: heh
[23:19:46] rhollan: might as well pay the $110 for peace
[23:19:46] Beirdo: so pay $110/month instead
[23:19:51] Beirdo: heh
[23:19:53] GreyFoxx: an ISP can't fine you hehe
[23:19:59] Beirdo: it's yer money :)
[23:20:00] GreyFoxx: they can cut your service though :)
[23:20:10] rhollan: if it was just email I might considr dynDns
[23:20:43] Beirdo: yeah, having static IP can be sweet
[23:20:43] GreyFoxx: My ISP blocks outgoing port 25 to anywhere but their mail server which is easily overcomeable
[23:20:57] GreyFoxx: but other than that no restrictions assuming your aren't attacking epople
[23:21:02] rhollan: Anyway the TW business rep was actually quite nice: he admitted that RR was crap, and that many techies chose the lowest level of biz service
[23:21:05] Beirdo: my ISP never told me what their mailservers are
[23:21:09] GreyFoxx: My IP has changed once in 3 years
[23:21:21] GreyFoxx: Beirdo heh
[23:21:28] rhollan: My ISP in Seattle, Avvanta was great: everything open, just please don't run an open relay
[23:21:34] GreyFoxx: I haven't had an account at my ISP in a long time :)
[23:21:36] rhollan: they didn't even check
[23:21:42] Beirdo: but as GreyFoxx knows... my ISP sucks major butt.
[23:22:07] Beirdo: sometime we'll be able to get someone else
[23:22:29] rhollan: I do have to ditch Clearwire here in Seattle. STILL no static IP after 4 weeks of promiosing onw, and all VOIP ports are blocked so no MythPhone
[23:22:42] Beirdo: heh
[23:22:51] mishehu: Beirdo: you still down in the rico?
[23:22:52] GreyFoxx: hey actually block them?
[23:22:57] Beirdo: my service is just too crappy to use VOIP right now
[23:23:07] Beirdo: mishehu, yup. and lovin it
[23:23:13] pat_: yay! futurama is back on tv now that crappy big brother has finished again
[23:23:18] Beirdo: other than the shit ISP and the flaky power grid
[23:23:34] Slyboots: What the hekc is wrong with this thing
[23:23:53] rhollan: Clearwire blocks tons of stuff and shapes the traffic so bad, prioritizing port 80 to the point that one sometimes gets DNS timeouts!
[23:24:05] Slyboots: When I try to compile myththeme or theme, (./configure) it instaly exits with "Project ERROR: please run ./configure"
[23:24:08] Slyboots: :P
[23:24:29] GreyFoxx: rhollan: suckage
[23:24:30] Slyboots: MJesus o.o
[23:24:34] Slyboots: That was a big flood o.o!
[23:25:02] GreyFoxx: We have a few customers affected by that stuff but we provide them vpning routers to get around that stuff. not many of them though thankfully
[23:25:06] rhollan: GreyFoxx: gonna drop them and just keep a dynamic IP up here with someone else.
[23:25:14] laga: Slyboots: have you installed mythtv from trunk already?
[23:25:40] Slyboots: Yea
[23:25:43] rhollan: Ah. Time-Warner calls it their "Teleworker" service. 1.0M x 1.5M + 1 static IP
[23:25:56] Slyboots: I can compile mythplugins, just not myththeme or themes
[23:25:57] rhollan: er 10.0M x 1.5M + 1 static IP
[23:26:59] mishehu: Beirdo: how's yer spanish?
[23:27:00] mishehu: heh
[23:27:06] Beirdo: que?
[23:27:12] mishehu: so
[23:27:18] Beirdo: I understand it a fair amount
[23:27:25] Beirdo: but not to speak it
[23:27:35] ** mishehu hates Beirdo for being somewhere warm year round **
[23:27:44] Beirdo: you can move too
[23:27:46] Beirdo: heh
[23:28:04] Beirdo: the hardest part was US immigration
[23:28:31] rhollan: Beirdo: where from?
[23:28:36] Beirdo: Canada
[23:28:52] GreyFoxx: make
[23:28:54] GreyFoxx: oops
[23:29:01] rhollan: mee too
[23:29:03] Beirdo: bootadm update-archive
[23:29:04] Beirdo: hehe
[23:29:12] rhollan: just got Green card in November
[23:29:20] Beirdo: got mine February
[23:29:24] GreyFoxx: rhollan: Where from ?
[23:29:25] rhollan: congrats
[23:29:30] rhollan: GreyFoxx: Montreal
[23:29:32] Beirdo: easier when marrying a US citizen :)
[23:29:39] GreyFoxx: ahhh
[23:29:42] GreyFoxx: Halifax here
[23:29:46] rhollan: My son is American. Daughter Canadian
[23:29:51] rhollan: ex-wife Canadian
[23:30:09] Beirdo: assuming the weenies actually believe you are actually married, not scamming them
[23:30:19] inahole: Canada can keep their Atlantic Institute for Market Studies. We don't want Atlantica
[23:30:20] mishehu: Beirdo: well, I'd have no problems with US immigration, but my wife wouldn't probably be too keen on moving there
[23:30:21] rhollan: takes 2 years, Beirdo
[23:30:29] Beirdo: nah
[23:30:34] Beirdo: took 6 months
[23:30:39] mishehu: as it is, I can't get her to move to israel with me either, and I've lived there before.
[23:30:40] Beirdo: if that
[23:30:44] rhollan: U.S. should take Alberta & Ontario
[23:30:51] riddlebox (riddlebox!n=james@75-132-225-75.dhcp.stls.mo.charter.com) has quit (Remote closed the connection)
[23:30:58] inahole: No
[23:31:02] Beirdo: then in 2 years you have to go to another interview to get a permanent permanent residence
[23:31:06] rhollan: BC too I suppose to get to Alaska
[23:31:19] inahole: No
[23:31:19] rhollan: But BC is even more socialist than SoCal
[23:31:25] Beirdo: mishehu, well, she's missing out
[23:31:35] inahole: I want socialized medicine
[23:31:42] rhollan: Oh, it's 104.95, not 109.95 a month.
[23:31:55] rhollan: you can have it!
[23:31:57] inahole: lol
[23:32:03] rhollan: to each his own
[23:32:08] inahole: as opposed to my 2 hour stay in the ER which costed me $3000
[23:32:13] rhollan: My son waited 36 hours when he needed a tonsillectomy
[23:32:16] inahole: sure I'll pay $110/month
[23:32:20] Beirdo: I want summer year round :)
[23:32:21] rhollan: inahole: that's what health insurance is for
[23:32:29] Beirdo: oh wait, I have it
[23:32:30] inahole: still shitty
[23:32:37] rhollan: $600 a month covers me & the kids
[23:32:41] GreyFoxx: Beirdo: Thats
[23:32:46] inahole: exactly
[23:32:52] Beirdo: health insurance is cheaper than the taxes required for socialized medicine
[23:32:53] rhollan: farr less than the income tax I paid for NO health care in Canada
[23:32:54] GreyFoxx: ' what is tempting me to head toward teh carribean
[23:32:59] inahole: Not necessarily
[23:33:13] Beirdo: GreyFoxx, yeah, just have to keep an eye out come hurricane season
[23:33:18] kormoc: I want my own private island where I can sit and drink forever and ever...
[23:33:29] laga: kormoc: "panic room"?
[23:33:33] GreyFoxx: Beirdo: I can handle that
[23:33:42] kormoc: laga, hrm?
[23:33:43] rhollan: inahole: generally, it is. There's always gonna be someone that costs $5000000 a year to keep alive
[23:33:50] Beirdo: yeah, I hear ya, GreyFoxx
[23:33:58] rhollan: O.K. gotta print and fac this contact
[23:34:06] laga: kormoc: just start drinking now and dream up the island ;)
[23:34:11] ** kormoc laughs **
[23:34:17] kormoc: laga, not quite the same :P
[23:34:27] inahole: My mom probably ate that
[23:34:30] inahole: she was very sick
[23:34:40] inahole: thankfully socialized medicine(medicaid) kept her alive
[23:34:56] inahole: She finally died when I was 24
[23:35:07] inahole: she started getting real sick when I was in about the 5th grade
[23:35:14] inahole: I would have probably been around 10 or so
[23:35:37] inahole: My mom and dad divorced shortly after I was born and I have never met him, because he was a jackass. Beat my mom and stuff

[23:35:59] inahole: Health insurance
[23:36:02] inahole: what a load of shit
[23:36:03] k-man__: for some reason, mplayer is not picking up the lircrc file when i run it from mythvideo, but it does get it if I run it from the command line
[23:36:11] k-man__: any ideas why that might be?
[23:36:16] inahole: she would not have been accepted for any health insurance because of a pre-existing condition
[23:36:36] inahole: yeah, health insurance has loopholes and it's a crock
[23:36:46] Beirdo: uh huh
[23:37:05] inahole: she had 1 prescription, alone, that was about $1500/month
[23:37:13] inahole: we couldn't have afforded that shit
[23:37:15] inahole: in other words
[23:37:17] inahole: she would have died
[23:37:22] inahole: thank god fore medicaid
[23:37:27] inahole: for*
[23:37:44] inahole: she had to have 3 or 4 blood transfusions
[23:37:48] inahole: a feeding tube
[23:37:56] inahole: a blood port
[23:37:59] Beirdo: by the way, most "socialized medicine" systems don't pay for prescriptions
[23:38:00] inahole: etc
[23:38:14] inahole: Beirdo, where from?
[23:39:04] laga: ours does. not all prescriptions of course, but quite a lot
[23:39:22] Beirdo: it may subsidize in some places though
[23:39:28] inahole: that's what I thought
[23:39:29] k-man__: Beirdo, in australia it doesn't pay for all prescriptions, but does heavily subsidise a lot of drugs
[23:39:44] fryfrog: FUCKING HEALTH INSURANCE!
[23:39:53] inahole: basically, the US is the only industrialized nation that hasn't got socialized medicine
[23:40:02] fryfrog: I mean, I'm glad I have it... but holey shit it is such a pain in the ass to deal with.
[23:40:16] inahole: well, so is my grandma's medicaid
[23:40:21] inahole: the problem with the system is the money
[23:40:30] laga: k-man__: just specify "-lircconf" for mplayer
[23:40:33] inahole: someone wants it
[23:41:00] k-man__: laga, in the fe settings?
[23:41:04] inahole: I'd rather have it, I think, than not
[23:41:04] laga: isn't medicaid a socialized medicine?
[23:41:11] inahole: yeah, like medicare
[23:41:19] laga: k-man__: you can specify a player command... you could also use mythtv's "internal" player
[23:41:31] k-man__: laga, hmm.. i might try the internal one
[23:41:42] laga: k-man__: no trouble with lirc then ;)
[23:41:49] inahole: medicare covers 65+ and medicaid covers children & people who need it that are < 65
[23:41:51] k-man__: i think i switched to mplayer back in the days of .17
[23:42:01] k-man__: its probably changed a lot since then
[23:42:06] k-man__: thanks laga
[23:43:57] inahole: A lot of the doctors here are dropping medicare patients
[23:44:27] inahole: That's because hospitals and doctors want more $$ than they're worth though
[23:45:13] Beirdo: heh. spoken like someone who didn't have to pay to get trained to be a doctor
[23:45:41] Beirdo: and doesn't have to pay malpractice insurance in case some wanker sues them to oblivion
[23:46:22] Beirdo: you wanna talk about people who get paid more than they are worth... look no further than professional athletes
[23:48:09] inahole: I agree with that too
[23:48:10] laga: the mullets! oh my god, the mullets!

[23:48:12] fryfrog: i'd like to volunteer to throw CEOs, CFOs, etc into that shark infested pool we wish we could throw people into
[23:48:14] inahole: about athletes
[23:48:14] tuxd00d (tuxd00d!n=tuxinato@128.187.148.87) has quit (Client Quit)
[23:48:23] inahole: yes
[23:48:29] inahole: ultimately, they are the one's who cause the problems
[23:48:30] Beirdo: hehe, yes and many CEOs, etc too
[23:48:54] inahole: they overprice their shit and monopolize, throw that money at the politicians, and buy legislation to benefit them
[23:49:18] inahole: that's why the health industry is so fucking expensive in this country
[23:49:20] Beirdo: if you don't like it, move somewhere that's not capitalist
[23:49:28] inahole: we spend more than everyone else and get less treatment than everyone else
[23:49:33] Beirdo: insanely capitalist
[23:49:36] Beirdo: no you don't
[23:49:46] lexs: eh, i have problems with text getting cut of in the osd
[23:49:50] inahole: yes we do
[23:49:51] Beirdo: sorry, but you are deluded if you think that.
[23:49:54] lexs: eg channels name
[23:49:58] inahole: lol
[23:50:07] inahole: that's why everyone was blocked from buying cheaper medicine from canada
[23:50:09] inahole: it's overpriced
[23:50:09] Beirdo: lexs, likely a font issue of some sort
[23:50:31] inahole: and the private sector monopolized the domestic market through the government
[23:50:40] Beirdo: blah blah blah.
[23:50:51] ** kormoc thinks this conversation is just out of control and should likely trickle to a stop... **
[23:50:57] inahole: then they took Medicare's ability to negotiate prices away from the government, and rose the prices of their drugs 8 percent across the board.
[23:51:24] Beirdo: move to the third world and reconsider... in the mean time, is there something more mythtv we can consider? like lexs' OSD issue?
[23:51:32] inahole: that's why cost here is going to double every 6–10 years.
[23:51:40] inahole: for health related stuff
[23:51:46] Beirdo: don't care.
[23:51:52] inahole: it's the truth though
[23:51:53] Beirdo: move on
[23:51:54] ** kormoc pokes inahole with a 'time to get back on topic stick.' **
[23:52:00] inahole: lol sorry
[23:52:08] inahole: I'm just irritated with my country right now
[23:52:11] laga: we need #mythtv-offtopic
[23:52:14] lexs: hm, i only have freesans.tff and freemono.tff to choose from :(
[23:52:23] laga: i'm irritated with my ndiswrapper :'(
[23:52:31] inahole: shitty
[23:52:39] inahole: just kick your computer a few times and show it who's boss
[23:52:45] laga: won't work
[23:52:55] inahole: that probably won't solve the problem, but at least it'll make you feel better and superior
[23:53:01] laga: heh
[23:53:13] laga: mythtv doesn't like packet loss unfortunately
[23:53:15] Beirdo: lexs, I've seen that issue before, and don't recall the fix... it's X server DPI settings maybe?
[23:53:19] kormoc: laga, I'm all for #chat
[23:53:32] inahole: that sucks
[23:53:38] lexs: Beirdo: i think it is correct, as this is my main computer
[23:53:40] inahole: burn it to cd and spit on it
[23:53:56] inahole: show it who's the master and who's the servant
[23:54:41] Beirdo: IIRC, mythtv is happy with the X server set at 100DPI.
[23:55:16] lexs: Beirdo: seems like many themes are pixel bound
[23:55:20] Beirdo: if it's set otherwise, different odd formatting issues have happened before, not sure if that's related to the issue
[23:55:22] lexs: eg they dont expand
[23:57:27] lexs: but it is in the epg it's most disturbing
[23:57:54] Beirdo: well, fonts may be the one big exception to that

[23:58:58] lexs: disregard the text encoding issue
