[00:10:12] mkrufky: Kazan: The code is here: http://linuxtv.org/hg/~mkrufky/dvb-pll
[00:10:14] Kazan: and it has a recording scheduled soon
[00:10:14] mkrufky: oh
[00:10:24] mkrufky: ok, you dont have to do it right now

[00:10:45] Kazan: do you know the Hauppauge HVR-1800 has linux support?
[00:10:52] mkrufky: ok, no problem... im sure somebody on the list will test it
[00:11:09] mkrufky: yes. hvr1800 is supported now, in the tree in the link above  :-)
[00:11:20] mkrufky: it will be in 2.6.24
[00:11:30] Kazan: cool
[00:11:31] mkrufky: (yes, i said 2.6.24 ... NOT 2.6.23)
[00:11:44] Kazan: i assume it's analog part is just a pvr150
[00:11:47] Kazan: what chipset is in the digital
[00:11:51] mkrufky: nope, completely different
[00:11:56] Kazan: it's not an ivtv?
[00:12:00] mkrufky: not at all
[00:12:04] mkrufky: it's all new hardware
[00:12:11] Kazan: really.. what they replace it with?
[00:12:22] mkrufky: we got the driver merged into the official v4l / dvb tree just a few days ago
[00:12:38] iamben (iamben!n=ben@dpc67142179038.direcpc.com) has quit (Read error: 104 (Connection reset by peer))
[00:12:42] mkrufky: ok, it's using the cx23885 PCIe bridge
[00:12:55] mkrufky: the pvr150, uses the cx23416 combo bridge+mpeg encoder
[00:13:07] mkrufky: the hvr1800, has a cx23417 as the encoder
[00:13:22] mkrufky: also, the tuners are all new
[00:13:26] Kazan: that's the ivtv17 encoder isn't it?
[00:13:40] Kazan: ie the 23416 minus the bridge
[00:13:44] mkrufky: close
[00:13:59] mkrufky: it's the cx23418 minus the bridge ;-)
[00:14:06] Kazan: ah
[00:14:24] mkrufky: cx23418 is used in the hvr1600 , which is not yet supported (but will be eventually)
[00:14:25] Kazan: dvb command interface or ivtv?
[00:14:31] mkrufky: ^^ both
[00:14:36] Kazan: oooh.... bilingual :D
[00:14:36] mkrufky: dvb api for atsc side
[00:14:40] Kazan: aah
[00:14:45] mkrufky: v4l2 for mpeg encoder
[00:14:49] mkrufky: and stop saying ivtv
[00:14:51] Kazan: hvr1800 also has qam256 right?
[00:14:53] mkrufky: ivtv api is obsolete
[00:15:02] Kazan: i'm refering to the chips
[00:15:03] mkrufky: replaced by v4l2 mpeg encoding api
[00:15:08] mkrufky: no ivtv chip
[00:15:21] mkrufky: ivtv is only the cx23415/6
[00:15:24] Kazan: ah
[00:15:30] mkrufky: 7/8 is all new
[00:15:36] Kazan: so technically would should be saying conexant mpeg2 encoders
[00:15:48] Kazan: can you use the analog and digital halves independantly?
[00:15:52] mkrufky: instead, i said the exact chip name
[00:15:57] Kazan: or are they sharing something... like the pci-e bridge
[00:15:58] keith4 (keith4!n=keith@216-164-160-36.c3-0.eas-ubr10.atw-eas.pa.static.cable.rcn.com) has left #mythtv-users ("Leaving")
[00:16:03] mkrufky: yes — it is a combo card, NOT a hybrid
[00:16:11] mkrufky: so, will show up as two separate devices
[00:16:27] mkrufky: and you can use them both at the same time
[00:16:30] Kazan: beautiful :D
[00:16:37] Kazan: when i build my new system i should get a pair
[00:16:48] Kazan: then relegate my current system to backend/storage node duty
[00:16:49] mkrufky: the encoder side uses tda8295 + tda18271
[00:16:54] mkrufky: (i wrote the driver for that)
[00:17:08] mkrufky: and the digital side uses mt2131 + s5h1409
[00:17:23] mkrufky: the analog side will not yet be supported in 2.6.24 — we didnt release that code yet
[00:17:35] mkrufky: for 2.6.24, only ATSC
[00:17:46] mkrufky: qam, i think, will be supported on that card, but isnt working yet
[00:17:58] mkrufky: right now just VSB
[00:18:53] Kazan: well i guess i'll have to wait for the drivers to be finished
[00:19:04] Kazan: right now my tuner setup is PVR-150, PVR-500, ATSC-110
[00:19:10] mkrufky: they'll be finished for 2.6.25
[00:19:53] mkrufky: i held back the analog tuner support because i just refactored the internal api for analog tuners to use the digital api
[00:20:09] mkrufky: so, now i will re-write the new tuner support and have that ready next
[00:20:29] mkrufky: but it wont be in time for 2.6.24 ... i think there's only a few weeks left to get stuff in for that
[00:21:50] Kazan: when do you expect it in?
[00:21:53] Kazan: pre-january?
[00:22:22] Kazan: is the atsc/qam tuner of superior quality to the atsc-110's nxt2004?
[00:23:08] mkrufky: i didnt work on the digital stuff for that card, someone else did
[00:23:17] mkrufky: so i dont know the specifics about that yet
[00:23:21] mkrufky: but i think it is superior
[00:23:26] Kazan: holy snowballs
[00:23:34] Kazan: from the 23418 datasheet
[00:23:37] mkrufky: ?
[00:23:40] Kazan: Supports interlaced YPbPr inputs along with composite video and S-video
[00:23:43] mkrufky: u have the 23418 datasheet ?!?
[00:23:50] Kazan: YPbPr = component.. ie hd analog
[00:23:51] mkrufky: oh, just a product brief, probably
[00:24:02] Kazan: the basic datasheet
[00:24:07] mkrufky: yeah, the chip supports that
[00:24:17] ** Kazan wonders if the 23418 can do mpeg2 compression of HD sized frames in realtime... **
[00:24:29] mkrufky: heh
[00:25:02] Kazan: because that would be BITCHIN
[00:25:17] Kazan: cablecard woes goodbye, hauppauge say hello to massive increase in business
[00:25:22] kdubya: id be fine if it downresed it like the slingbox hd does
[00:25:34] kdubya: still widescreen at least
[00:25:37] Kazan: well... until the cablecompanies cripple the YPbPr output resolution on their STBs
[00:25:49] Kazan: downrezzing is not acceptable
[00:26:00] Kazan: well... downrezzing more than 720p is not acceptable :P
[00:26:05] kdubya: it looks a hell of a lot better than my crappy cable signal
[00:26:07] Kazan: (i only have a 720p monitor right now)
[00:26:52] Kazan: mkrufky: what would be really awesome...
[00:27:07] Kazan: if they made a card that is to the HVR1800 as the PVR500 is to the PVR150
[00:27:08] kdubya: do people that capture through a cable box still get the channel number and OSD crap from the cable box
[00:27:11] kdubya: or can you turn that off
[00:27:16] Kazan: IE two HVR1800s on one PCB
[00:27:35] mkrufky: heh
[00:27:41] Kazan: kdubya: include an "exit" instruction at the end of your channel change chain
[00:27:42] mkrufky: you wont have to wait long for that
[00:27:48] Kazan: mkrufky: woohoo
[00:27:50] kdubya: ah
[00:27:55] Kazan: i bet it'll need PCI-E 4x though
[00:27:59] mkrufky: nope
[00:28:12] mkrufky: regular pcie would work fine
[00:28:14] Kazan: a single lane can handle all that xmit?
[00:28:18] Kazan: brb
[00:28:23] mkrufky: im already working on this support in the driver

[02:30:59] xanderp: ok, just ran into this one. I'm trying to run mytharchive on a remote frontend and it's complaining about the files being remote. there is an option to copy remote files locally in the settings, but it doesn't seem to work, help please.
[02:31:33] xanderp: degreseven: does your tv to normalization? that would be the simple way
[02:31:49] xanderp: degreseven: or your stereo?

[02:36:14] xanderp: mikeones: i guess if i told the remote frontend that the tvrecordings directory was a video directory i could get to the file that way...
[02:36:35] xanderp: mikeones: but i'd like it to read all the tvguide info for the dvd
[02:36:41] degreseven: xanderp, no, it is only stereo
[02:37:05] xanderp: degreseven: is the video surroundsound? (ac3 or something) for the audio?
[02:37:48] xanderp: degreseven: your best bet is probably to run the file through a transcoder with normalization, outside of myth, but not sure on best one to use.
[02:38:06] degreseven: xanderp, ok, thanks
[02:38:22] degreseven: xanderp, looks like audio is only 2 channel on the file
[02:38:34] xanderp: degreseven: you could probably set it up as a USER JOB# though to accomplish repeatedly.
[02:38:49] degreseven: ahh, maybe il try that
[02:38:54] degreseven: thanks

[03:16:57] H00chster: well actually it is handling it fine but for some reason it is grabbing that tuner by default and I don't recall setting priority on any tuner heh
[03:18:38] HeatHawk[LI]: When my mythtv is recording, the do weird stuff, like the mouse jumps and stuff, and my keyboard enters random keys, and its especially annoying if I am watching a show, it changes it to channel 2 by random, ideas?
[03:19:50] kdubya: you are most surely haunted
[03:21:46] HeatHawk[LI]: Well, its a usb tuner with a remote and reciever built into it, but ive tried taking the batteries out the remote, still screws everything up

[03:22:27] kdubya: it is most likely not your keyboard entering anything
[03:22:39] kdubya: probably something interfering with your IR reciever
[03:23:16] defaultro: good evening folks. This is the first time I've experience this. I was watching then suddently, the mythfrontend disappeared. I can still hear the audio though. I had to kill the fe to see it again
[03:23:34] defaultro: s/suddently/suddenly/
[03:23:45] kdubya: well if it has only crashed once consider yourself luck :P
[03:23:47] kdubya: lucky*
[03:24:20] defaultro: true but something is wrong with 0.20.2. I just upgraded last night for SD
[03:24:59] defaultro: I've got a log, checking
[03:25:02] HeatHawk[LI]: kdubya, well i cant see how tuner interference would cause my mouse and keyboard to go berserk, unless the reciever on it is fucking with them through wireless (wireless keyboard mouse combo)
[03:25:28] HeatHawk[LI]: if thats the case, how can i disable the remote function on it?
[03:25:34] kdubya: maybe it is RF interference then
[03:25:40] HeatHawk[LI]: its a hauppage wint tv usb 2
[03:25:46] kdubya: and it is the mouse and keyboard, not that remote
[03:26:06] kdubya: try a wired USB keyboard and mouse and see if the same thing happens
[03:26:20] HeatHawk[LI]: its only when the tuner is active, so im gonna have to say its related, lol

[03:40:23] qfour21: Hi there everyone. I'm having trouble getting a frontend box to connect to a backend box. mythfrontend runs just fine on the backend box, but times out connecting to the frontend. I've made sure to grant access in mysql to the entire subnet that the frontend is on. Interesting to note that from the backend box i can can open a socket to port 6543. On the frontend, openssl times out trying to do this.

[03:42:05] NightMonkey (NightMonkey!n=NightMon@pdpc/supporter/sustaining/NightMonkey) has joined #mythtv-users
[03:42:18] qfour21: would that be bind-address directive in my.cnf? hmmm... it's worth a shot
[03:45:20] qfour21: well, adding the 'bind-address' directive and bouncing mysqld didn't resolve it
[03:45:41] qfour21: maybe something in mythbackend itself?
[03:46:38] qfour21: HeatHawk[LI]: I definitely think an io error on the path that you record to would be A Bad Thing(tm)
[03:48:33] HeatHawk[LI]: ya, well, my system does funky things when it records stuff
[03:48:46] HeatHawk[LI]: im gonna try swapping the cpu to a faster one when i get the chance
[03:49:38] HeatHawk[LI]: its a sempron 2800+ 64bit (1.6, 128 cache), i have a real a64 3000+ (2.0, 512 cache) that might boost it up
[03:50:03] HeatHawk[LI]: didnt want to use it because it gets hot, but damn myth brings this computer to a crawl
[03:50:07] qfour21: is this SD content or HD?
[03:50:24] qfour21: and is it a dedicated backend box?
[03:51:03] HeatHawk[LI]: no, its regular cable, and its my linux workstation, i use it for a lot, just put on the tuner to record shows i miss
[03:51:23] qfour21: dude, if it's not HD content
[03:51:36] qfour21: you should be able to darn near use a wristwatch to record
[03:51:49] qfour21: unless your tuner is a frame grabber, not an mpeg encoder
[03:52:28] qfour21: I ran a backend on a pIII 450 with an mpeg encoder card and it never broke a sweat
[03:52:32] HeatHawk[LI]: its a wintv usb2 analog tuner?
[03:52:48] qfour21: that might be a frame grabber
[03:52:50] briand: the same can nearly be said for *recording* HD content... now, playing that back is another story...
[03:52:57] qfour21: not familiar with it
[03:53:27] HeatHawk[LI]: could be the hard drive th
[03:53:45] qfour21: definitely could be... or controller too
[03:53:47] HeatHawk[LI]: since its solid on right now, and i get that i/o error when ls on it

[03:58:51] qfour22: wonder if i can open a socket from the laptop to it

[15:36:01] kieran491: Hi
[15:37:15] kieran491: I have a machine that has a TVTuner card which is adapter0 when i first got mythtv to refer to it. it use to use adapter0 but now it thinks that adapater0 is actualy named adapter1 and i cant seem to fix it any ideas on how i can make the mythtv look at adapter1 as actaul adapter0?
[15:38:02] kslater: I think if you search you should be able to find some details on how to make the cards stay in the proper order
[15:38:10] kslater: do you have more than one capture card?
[15:38:27] kieran491: no just the one
[15:38:37] kslater: what type of card?
[15:38:41] kieran491: DVB
[15:39:08] kieran491: see what it see is
[15:39:33] kslater: where's one of the guys that use dvb cards when you need them?
[15:39:53] kieran491: What Exists = /dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend0
[15:39:54] kieran491: What It thinks = /dev/dvb/adapter1/frontend0
[15:40:21] laga: why dont you change it in the setup
[15:40:52] kieran491: i have to 0
[15:40:53] kslater: seems like a logical question, but I think he's saying it changed in the past
[15:40:58] kieran491: but it uses adapter1
[15:41:33] laga: you can change that in mythtv-setup.
[15:42:08] kslater: laga – do you know if a slave .20.2 backend will talk to a master backend at .20?
[15:42:33] kieran491: i have laga that the thing its currently set to 0 BUT it thinks 0 is refering to adapter1/front0 but in fact it should be pointing to adapter0/front0
[15:42:42] laga: kslater: it won't. unless the master backend is running 0.20-fixes. there was a protocal change after vanilla 0.20 came out
[15:42:51] kslater: cra[
[15:42:54] kslater: crap
[15:43:09] kslater: I was going to do a test install of .20.2 on the slave to ease into the upgrade
[15:43:18] laga: kslater: the protocol change occured like a year ago, so in most cases you're safe
[15:43:32] kslater: let me check my package date
[15:44:18] kslater: .20–147 from at rpms
[15:44:27] kieran491: can i change what adapater folder mythttv is refering to in the database?
[15:44:41] kslater: is the protocol version in the db anywhere?
[15:45:13] laga: kslater: what you're saying is not really making sense. that shouldn't happen.
[15:45:27] laga: kslater: is that the latest atrpms build?
[15:46:19] kslater: no, it's an old one
[15:46:47] kslater: started out as mythdora 2.32 and then I did a partial upgrade some time ago to grab some newer stuff
[15:46:59] laga: ah

[15:47:42] kslater: might be new enough
[15:49:09] kslater: seems like the protocol version should be able to be pulled from somewhere

[15:52:45] ol_schoola: i remember the first time i realized that all that stuff at boot was tucked away in dmesg. what a revelation THAT was
[15:53:02] gautada_: My system restarted after a power failure. I had several DVD rip jobs in progress. The rip function was completed and all jobs were waiting for permission to transcode. How do I restart them with mtd?
[15:54:54] kieran491: in my setup mythtv is handeling my DVB Card Number 0 and 1 as adapter1 and not handleing them as sepeart eg. adapter0, adapter1
[15:56:28] kieran491: what dose the following error mean ERROR_OPEN Subtype: DVB-T
[15:56:36] kslater: I see backend version number, but not myth protocol in the backend log.

[16:03:10] zo0m: heh
[16:03:36] Cowman: well my sources are direcTV and local insight cable. neither of which have guide data that myth can read as far as I know
[16:03:44] ol_schoola: for me, it's the only worthwhile choice. and i'll be pleased when i build .20.2 today
[16:04:27] gautada_: Again does anyone know how to restart dvd rip's transcoding job after the rip was successful but the transcoding didn't complete?
[16:04:28] ol_schoola: without sounding like an evangelist, SD is it. unless you want to invest lots of time fixing a scraper or three
[16:04:54] Cowman: although myth is in a way ruining TV for me. I've now seen every episode of every show I like to watch.... it's staggering efficency means I go through all the new content faster :P
[16:05:16] ol_schoola: Cowman: i agree :)
[16:05:36] iamben: i read in several places that reiserfs should not be used for my recording storage, what are the problems with that?
[16:05:50] zo0m: my favorite complaint is missing previews for new shows because im always skipping commercials :) so its like "wow, when did that start? that show looks awesome.." like ice truckers heh
[16:06:03] Cowman: yeah I have that
[16:06:07] zo0m: iamben: um, because reiserfs is designed for small files?
[16:06:10] Cowman: my commercial skip misses some though

[16:06:35] Cowman: I don't think it's myth, I think it's the source...and possibly the cap card.
[16:06:49] Cowman: should probably upgrade my ivtv drivers again
[16:07:15] zo0m: xfs and jfs are best for large files
[16:07:17] iamben: zo0m: i understand it may not be the fastest, but the docs act like my system will crash and burn if i use reiserfs
[16:07:24] zo0m: iamben: it may
[16:07:43] iamben: reiserfs isnt totally retarded, it knows how to handle large files
[16:07:52] zo0m: sure, its just inefficient
[16:07:56] Cowman: every 1–2 months my pvr150 basically locks up and the only fix is to totaly power down the machine and power it back up.... or it starts skipping(random 1 second black screens with no audio), same cure.
[16:07:58] zo0m: and i will not argue with you over it, so do what you want lol
[16:07:58] iamben: it excels at small files, but it handles large ones just fine

[16:08:28] iamben: so that is the only reason for them warning us against it? it isnt quite as efficient at large files?
[16:08:35] iamben: i thought there might be something more complex

[16:09:18] zo0m: "what does prebuffering pause mean?!@"
[16:09:33] zo0m: so the docs warn you against it, you want to buck the docs, go for it and run reisfer we dont give a care :)
[16:09:52] ** Dagmar makes a note in his client so that it reminds him Cowman is an ext3 user every time he speaks **
[16:09:56] zo0m: oh your mythfrontend locking up during livetv when the 1hr mark comes and your show switches over
[16:10:05] zo0m: s/oh/or
[16:10:07] iamben: i already had this machine built on reiserfs long before i considered mythtv, i was inquiring to see how important FS really is
[16:10:20] zo0m: filesystem is always important.
[16:10:25] zo0m: you choose the right fs for the right job
[16:10:29] iamben: zo0m: actually it does all of the things you've described =)
[16:10:30] zo0m: its why you have a choice in the first place
[16:10:30] Dagmar: Cowman: READ the documentation. It is there to prevent ugly problems that will later require you to erase everything to fix.
[16:10:45] kieran491: is the mythtv site down?
[16:11:19] gautada_: iamben: You can use parted or gparted and adjust your partitions. Then put myth on a new partition with a new file system
[16:11:20] Cowman: can't get it either
[16:11:48] Cowman: so ext3 has problems? what are you all using then, jfs?
[16:12:00] gautada_: Cowman: yas
[16:12:06] iamben: gautada_: i can do one better actually, i've got the OS & myth on an older 13G drive, and i have some extra identical drives laying around i can mirror to

[16:12:59] gautada_: iamben: Great use jfs along side reiserfs
[16:13:10] Dagmar: Cowman: Doesn't matter. The docs are dead on about why ext3 is not useful as the filestore
[16:13:27] kieran491: argh i reinstalled the WHOLE database deleted it reinstalled it and its picking up DVB Card number 0 and 1 as the same adapter (adapter1)
[16:13:27] ** Esine runs jfs **
[16:13:34] zo0m: i chose xfs over jfs because when searching the email lists i found more rants/complaints about corrupted jfs partitions than xfs
[16:13:38] zo0m: so im like, alright, xfs it is!
[16:13:41] zo0m: and havent had a problem since.
[16:13:41] Esine: uh.. really?
[16:13:42] zo0m: few years now
[16:13:49] zo0m: yeah esine, search the lists
[16:13:51] zo0m: :)
[16:13:53] Cowman: well next time I rebuild it I'll try xfs or jfs
[16:13:55] Esine: I haven't had any problems with jfs for like 3 years but ok
[16:14:02] Dagmar: I never noticed anything that wasn't coming from people who didn't buy a UPS

[16:14:33] zo0m: esine: really? what did you use to test? i found the opposite actually
[16:14:34] Dagmar: Between the two, jfs is probably the better choice because of the way XFS handles writes that involve a lot of very small writes
[16:14:44] Esine: zo0m, no I read some tests online and jfs was faster on some things
[16:14:53] zo0m: ah
[16:15:13] kieran491: no ideas why i am getting this problem with the DVB Card number treating 0 and 1 as the same adapater?
[16:15:51] zo0m: bonnie ran faster for me when the fs was xfs
[16:15:54] zo0m: 4096gig file
[16:16:00] zo0m: but that was just me i dunno to each their own
[16:16:06] Cowman: right now I'm thinking about scrapping my current myth machine and delegating that task to my personal fileserver. I'm just working out how I want to make that work right now

[16:24:39] Cowman: I wish someone would release a linux compatable cap card that would let me cap HDTV from my satelite reciever
[16:24:44] ChrisAshton84: 1) capture/Mic is my alsa device, but right now myth is adjusting capture/PCM creating an echo.
[16:24:46] ChrisAshton84: 2) had schedulesdirect working, but after reinstalling myth to fix sound, it doesn't filldatabase just gets Unknown for everything
[16:24:58] Cowman: all the HD cards are OTA only though :(
[16:25:00] lwizardl: iamben, do you suddenly lose sinal on fox?
[16:25:34] iamben: lwizardl: i do not. i consistently get piss-poor reception though =)
[16:25:35] trevarthan: mkrufky: what version of mythtv supports schedules direct? 0.21?
[16:25:49] Cowman: .20.2
[16:25:59] trevarthan: ok. cool.
[16:26:12] kieran491: so no one has had the problem where mythttv treats "DVB Card Number" 0 and 1 as the same adapater (adapater1) ?
[16:26:39] lwizardl: iamben, hmm because if I use my hd tuner i get the channels in and they look nice but after about 5mins they start to lose signal and then come back in
[16:26:48] mkrufky: trevarthan: 0.20.2
[16:27:46] janneg: kieran491: no, can you check the capturecard table for the videodevice entries of your dvb cards

[17:51:43] defaultro: it's in the high number
[17:51:53] Dagmar: Meh that doesn't really mean anything
[17:52:01] defaultro: and qam can only see 125 correct?
[17:52:06] Dagmar: Channel numbers don't have a whole lot to do with broadcast frequencies most of the time
[17:52:12] defaultro: oh
[17:52:23] Dagmar: No, I suspect you're thinking of broadcast cable freqs there

[17:54:33] defaultro: ok but don't know what I will do next if I found out about it :P
[17:54:46] Dagmar: Anything indicating the channel number is that high is almost certainly going to be digital tho
[17:54:53] defaultro: ok
[17:54:55] Dagmar: Look up frequency tables with Google
[17:54:59] defaultro: k
[17:55:04] defaultro: let me check it now
[17:55:16] Dagmar: If your tuner card only does analog, it's the RCA input route you go
[17:55:18] defaultro: if it's digital, I'm hoping that that channel isn't encrypted
[17:55:31] defaultro: tuner card is fusion hdtv lite
[17:55:43] defaultro: so hopefully, channel isn't encrypted

I want to record all episides of the show "psyche" which i have not recorded before. Within my schedual data there are two episodes that are repeated all week. I want to record both episodes once.
[18:50:44] Bearcat: What option do i want for that?
[18:51:41] Bearcat: Does "title" refer to the show name or the episode name?
[18:51:51] kdubya: it wont record something you already have
[18:51:58] kdubya: you dont have to do anything
[18:54:06] Bearcat: kdubya: well this week there 5 showings of psyche: one unknown with a default description, one called "Rockaby", one called "bounty hunters". Bounty hunters is repeated 4 times. I just want one of each of these. Would that be "Record One Showing of this TItle"?
[18:55:31] kdubya: i think you just pick record this show at all times on all channels
[18:55:42] kdubya: and if it already has an episode it wont record it
[18:56:53] Bearcat: cool. Thanx. I *think* that worked
[18:56:59] kdubya: yeah
[18:57:04] kdubya: i just checked

[20:01:47] mistone: I need to fix the modeline
[20:01:55] Aval0n: I wish I could fix it
[20:02:02] kdubya: Aval0n it is probably the OSD theme
[20:02:04] Aval0n: that and my backened just randomly crashes heh
[20:02:08] kdubya: you would have to edit the theme to get more info
[20:02:11] Aval0n: kdubya I don't think so
[20:02:17] Aval0n: I tried like 4 themes
[20:02:40] mistone: oh also: schedulesdirect isnt showing up as a input source :O

[20:18:53] Bearcat: The one thing that mythtv does not do that i would really love is the ability to switch back and forth from full-screen to a window. I have a feeling it will never do that though as people are oriented to "display it on my tv"
[20:21:29] [M-M]_: I think it used to be able to do that, a few years ago. But I think it was removed when the app was reorganized to use only one window
[20:21:39] Bearcat: *nods*
[20:22:26] jerickso: i don't recall it ever letting you toggle between full screen and windowed, but I don't think I've ever used it windowed either
[20:22:37] Bearcat: although i have a thought (look scared people): You can run in full-screen and just go to a different desktop right? So, i wonder if you could use compiz to display that desktop in a small window on other screens.

[20:25:01] [M-M]_: jerickso: as I recall, you used to be able to use F to toggle. might have been just the playback window, though... I don't recall much; it was quite a while ago :)
[20:25:28] jerickso: [M-M]_: I think that was just playback. It was quite a bit ago
[20:26:53] [M-M]_: jerickso: as I think about it that rings more of a bell. I seem to recall I used it because the UI was too slow for me at my native 1600x1200 res, so I'd set it for 800x600 and use Ctrl-Alt-+ to change the screen res... but then the playback window would go back to 1600x1200 and run way off the edge :)
[20:27:36] jerickso: [M-M]_: yep, now if I can just sort out my new SD.org issue

[21:58:30] RaZer0r: someone here?
[21:58:45] RaZer0r: (well a not idle person that is :p)
[21:59:19] xris: RaZer0r: lots of idle people here
[21:59:27] RaZer0r: uhu
[21:59:31] RaZer0r: i noticed
[22:00:07] RaZer0r: anyhow, the question is, i'm having a fairly low spec system, but it ran ubuntu for some time
[22:00:29] RaZer0r: i decided to make it into a mythtv system
[22:00:54] RaZer0r: and was wondering, is there such thing as a lightwight distro which runs it just optimal?
[22:01:13] xris: not really
[22:01:39] xris: the main problem with running on older hardware is that it doesn't have enough power to do the video encoding/decoding
[22:01:41] RaZer0r: so if i just put a text based debian server on it, and install it from there, what would you suggest?
[22:01:44] xris: holw old of a system?
[22:01:57] RaZer0r: well the tvcard is an mpeg2 streamer
[22:02:08] RaZer0r: cpu is a 1.2 ghz
[22:02:18] xris: that should be plenty if you have a hardware encoder card
[22:02:30] RaZer0r: only ram is 256 mb atm
[22:02:38] xris: just use a lightweight window manager like xfce or one of the "box" ones (e.g. blackbox)
[22:02:53] RaZer0r: k
[22:03:02] xris: ram is a little low, but should be ok if you're running 640x480
[22:03:05] RaZer0r: might go for xfce
[22:03:20] RaZer0r: hmmz i was thinking about 1024x768
[22:03:28] iamben: if you plan on using mythtv only, and in full screen, even xfce is overkill
[22:03:49] RaZer0r: it shall be a mythtv box only no other use for it :)
[22:03:56] xris: mythtv loads its theme files into RAM after resizing them... so the lower res you use, the less RAM those take up.
[22:04:22] RaZer0r: so a text based debian install, and a mythv backend – frontend install should be enough?
[22:04:26] xris: and TV is rarely more than 480 lines tall, so you won't gain much by using a higher res.. and your machine won't do HD.
[22:04:33] BHSPitMonkey: RaZer0r, 640 is all you need if it's going to a sd tv
[22:04:35] RaZer0r: no idd :)
[22:04:37] RaZer0r: k
[22:04:42] xris: RaZer0r: if you're going debian, you might look into knopmyth
[22:05:02] RaZer0r: debian or ubuntu servers
[22:05:08] RaZer0r: that's my choice atm
[22:05:56] xris: knopmyth is debian
[22:05:59] RaZer0r: (ubuntu has out of the box support for my hauppage 150mce ;) that's why the ubuntu choice
[22:06:08] RaZer0r: knopmyth, googling it right now :p
[22:06:50] xris: knoppix is a debian-based distro that pre configures a lot of hardware so you get a fully-working system without much effort. Knopmyth takes knoppix and does the same for mythtv and video hardware.
[22:07:21] RaZer0r: hmmz
[22:07:24] RaZer0r: handy
[22:07:50] xris: yup
[22:07:51] RaZer0r: and my ati graka? :p (it's an old pci, as the on board motherboard vga died some time ago)
[22:07:56] xris: good for the people who like .deb
[22:08:06] xris: I couldn't handle ubuntu. I like rpm too much (as a developer)
[22:08:13] RaZer0r: ah :)
[22:08:20] xris: ati and linux don't get along very well, at least for tv-out
[22:08:32] xris: if you're using a monitor, the open source radeon driver is pretty decent
[22:08:46] RaZer0r: i know, trying to get my vga to svideo convertor working
[22:10:13] xris: it might be easier to track down a $20 pci 5200fx
[22:10:15] xris: that's what I use
[22:11:02] iamben: i bought a mobo w/ onboard gf4mx w/ svideo out, i was pretty excited when i found out they made one
[22:11:03] RaZer0r: :) to bad i don't have agp port on that mobo
[22:11:38] RaZer0r: i would have used my gf4mx440 too ;)
[22:11:51] xris: that's why I went pci
[22:12:05] xris: well, and my current mythbox doesn't have agp, either. just 2 pci slots

[22:16:08] MrJackson: is anyone using a HDHomeRun w/ myth 20.2 (or the latest svn) and schedules direct? i'm having problems getting a channel list
[22:16:50] directhex: i occasionally get root menus displaying funny when using Internal to watch DVDs. is that something anyone else has gotten?
[22:17:17] ol_schoola: xris: if i plan to run vmware and xp on it a core2 duo, you think i'll have any hitches as a mbe/fe with a PVR 350?
[22:17:29] RaZer0r: well i hope i can set it up as i want
[22:17:31] ol_schoola: and an HD Homerun?
[22:17:41] RaZer0r: i got a central file server
[22:17:46] iamben: oh crap its a 4M log file, maybe i won't pastebin quite all of it
[22:17:54] directhex: ol_schoola, nobody likes the 350 anymore, unless you treat it as a 150
[22:18:04] HeatHawk[LI]: hey guys, anyone know why my keyboard and mouse go berserk when mythtv is recording stuff, the keyboard enters random stuff and my mouse goes hay wire, the tuner is a WinTV USB 2
[22:18:10] xris: ol_schoola: not a clue. you'll need a lot of RAM, though. I have a hard time with 2G in my linux workstation with XP inside of vmware
[22:18:25] xris: HeatHawk[LI]: usb kb/mouse?
[22:18:45] ol_schoola: dHex: i know, bought back around .15 or .16 and it ran good at the time for vid out, just use it record now
[22:18:47] HeatHawk[LI]: xris, yup, wireless, but i tried a wired mouse, no difference
[22:19:00] xris: HeatHawk[LI]: sounds like interference in the usb bus, and/or bad drivers.
[22:19:28] RaZer0r: http://info.razer0r.be
[22:19:30] ol_schoola: xris: thx for the heads up. i think i'm convimnced to just run the old +2500 barton as a dedicated winblose box
[22:19:36] RaZer0r: darn wrong box
[22:20:07] RaZer0r: sorry guy's
[22:20:35] HeatHawk[LI]: xris, bad drivers dosn't make sense, but maybe too much load on the bus might be right
[22:21:06] xris: HeatHawk[LI]: huh? you're talking about ivtv... they're quite often buggy
[22:21:40] BULLE: ivtv si the best!
[22:21:45] RaZer0r: lol
[22:21:54] RaZer0r: ivtv are buggy
[22:22:04] RaZer0r: that's for sure
[22:22:26] RaZer0r: glad i got a mpeg2 hardware decoder which is supported now ;)
[22:22:50] HeatHawk[LI]: ivtv? im not using that driver
[22:23:12] RaZer0r: i am
[22:23:54] RaZer0r: anyhow
[22:24:03] RaZer0r: lets try the knoppmyth
[22:24:10] iamben: xris: does this output look normal? the part about dd_state worries me http://rafb.net/p/174zbk30.html
[22:24:27] xris: HeatHawk[LI]: what driver do you use for the usb recorder, then? I thought ivtv did all of tha hauppauge stuff
[22:24:56] HeatHawk[LI]: im using the v4l dvb drivers, em28xx driver
[22:26:00] iamben: ivtv only does the pvr-x50's, none of the usb ones
[22:26:01] xris: iamben: does look a bit odd. I don't know enough about the DD format to know the answer, though. I passed it on to someone who does, though
[22:26:32] RaZer0r: buh, i hope i get my tv_grab_be working properly
[22:26:43] iamben: thanks
[22:26:44] HeatHawk[LI]: http://www.hauppauge.com/pages/products/data_usb2.html
[22:26:58] HeatHawk[LI]: might be it dosn't have an mpeg encoder in it?
[22:27:12] RaZer0r: yea
[22:27:39] iamben: i thought the problem was due to my 7 day trial running out, but i reactivated and its still not working. i also tried starting on a fresh mythtv machine with a clean setup, same issue there
[22:29:30] HeatHawk[LI]: xris, think its because it dosn't have an mpeg encoder in it? think if i put a faster cpu in it, (1.6 gig 128 cache to 2.0 512 cache) that it might process faster and not screw up my inputs?
[22:29:48] xris: HeatHawk[LI]: hard to say.. but it might help
[22:30:04] RaZer0r: so it would be proc based
[22:30:05] MrJackson: cache wont help much
[22:30:25] MrJackson: you need raw cpu speed
[22:30:27] HeatHawk[LI]: i didnt want to use that cpu because its a hotter chip (64 watts versus 89)
[22:30:28] RaZer0r: didn't know the clokcycles could actual mess up keyboard inputs?
[22:31:20] HeatHawk[LI]: MrJackson, its a sempron 2800 64 bit versus an a64 3000+, the idea is that it cant process the encoding fast enough and the bus is too loaded causing problems
[22:31:51] RaZer0r: :)
[22:32:21] RaZer0r: or the usb bus is just having a hard time giving the right throughput
[22:32:37] HeatHawk[LI]: ok

[22:43:12] Aval0n: guys, my recordings are looking kind of grainy. LiveTV looks much better. I have it set on high quality, 720x480 mpeg2 PS, 16x9, lossless transcoding, 6000–8500 bitrate. Anyone know what else I can try?
[22:43:23] iamben (iamben!n=mythtv@dpc67142179038.direcpc.com) has quit ("leaving")
[22:43:46] directhex: why are you transcoding to such high bitrates? regardless of the bitrate, transcoding kills quality
[22:44:23] Aval0n: I was just trying to match the bitrate I had for LiveTV
[22:44:52] Esine (Esine!i=nobody@tohveli.net) has quit (Remote closed the connection)
[22:44:55] Aval0n: what is "lossless transcoding"
[22:45:12] phiwer (phiwer!n=phiwer@c83-248-1-100.bredband.comhem.se) has joined #mythtv-users
[22:45:31] xris: Aval0n: exactly what it says.
[22:45:46] Aval0n: so that wouldn't kill quality?
[22:45:55] Aval0n: just going off what directhex was talking about.
[22:45:59] xris: normally when you transcode something it has to get uncompressed and then recompressed (even when going between the same format). lossless means that it doesn't.
[22:46:08] xris: in the case of mythtv, it means removing commercials without reencoding
[22:46:23] directhex: if you're not changing the format, then surely it's not transcoding?
[22:46:41] Aval0n: I left it at the default of mpeg2 PS
[22:46:47] Aval0n: what is the difference between PS and TS?
[22:46:53] directhex: some mpeg headers
[22:47:20] Aval0n: I'm just trying to figure out how to maintain the same qual on my recordings that I see on LiveTV
[22:47:57] xris: directhex: it's transcoding if you take a dvd mpeg2 and convert it to mpeg2 at a different bitrate, etc.
[22:48:16] xris: Aval0n: PS and TS are container formats.
[22:48:23] directhex: xris, yeah, but if you change the bitrate, that's not lossless. surely "lossless transcoding" is an oxymoron
[22:48:38] xris: mpeg is confusing because the container format, video coded and audio codec are all referred to by the same name.
[22:49:00] xris: directhex: it's a misnomer, yes... but gets the idea across.

[22:50:37] Aval0n: hmm
[22:50:51] Aval0n: what is the LiveTV option
[22:50:55] Aval0n: low medium and high
[22:50:58] Aval0n: then livetv
[22:51:10] Aval0n: does that just match everything to what you have set for live TV?
[22:51:15] Aval0n: I'm talking about in recording profiles
[22:51:21] directhex: floppyears, the prettiest
[22:51:32] floppyears: directhex: which one would suggest ?
[22:51:42] directhex: floppyears, at a guess, i'd say the lite-on

[22:56:04] Aval0n: loyalty to the brand, until I get let down I'm stickin with em :)

[23:12:33] zo0m: of course, emailing the list with my problems generates no responses heh
[23:13:01] zo0m: i just get "timeout" on every channel it scans. annoying as crap. windows client works fine, i can watch tv. perl script scanner sees all the channels from the masterbackend itself
[23:13:07] zo0m: yet when myth tries to scan, nothing
[23:13:18] directhex: tomb0y, right. but the video data is only 480i. whatever you do, you can't add detail

[23:50:57] iamben: i wish i had a working setup to compare mythfilldatabase's output to
[23:51:07] mistone: I wonder if its a mysql thing
[23:51:11] jerickso: CaptObviousman: I'm running mdadm
[23:51:41] Plantain (Plantain!n=plantain@unaffiliated/plantain) has joined #mythtv-users
[23:51:43] iamben: CaptObviousman: dmraid is for using your controllers pseudo-hw raid, like many mobos have onboard
[23:51:45] jerickso: mistone: no, I'm getting the tables created properly, I just don't get any data inserted into that one. if you run mythfilldatabase with -h database it'll dump sql
[23:51:52] iamben: raidtools is the old set of tools, no one uses it anymore
[23:52:00] iamben: for run of the mill linux software raid, use mdadm
[23:52:04] mistone: no I mean teh issue has to do with mysql
[23:52:05] CaptObviousman: now I just have to wait for Fry's to put a really cheap mobo+chip on sale
[23:52:16] jerickso: mistone: I don't think so
[23:52:28] iamben: mistone: in what way? i havent upgraded or changed my mysql setup lately, and its on a fresh db now
[23:52:36] mistone: oh ok
[23:52:45] mistone: I updated mysql before I checked
[23:53:10] jerickso: mistone: I think its the data coming from them. I haven't had a chance to dump the data stream yet
[23:53:21] mistone: yea I was trying to find a way to do that
[23:54:20] guest_ (guest_!n=guest@adsl-64-161-117-110.dsl.snfc21.pacbell.net) has quit (Client Quit)
[23:55:48] Plantain: Hey, mythtv seems to have gone crazy on me, I've just installed it, and apart from the 'fullscreen' going well over the edges of the screen, I can't read any of the setup text because it's the same colour as the background (white on greyish white :S )
[23:56:13] Plantain: I've managed to get it into a little window from MythTVFrontend, but I still can't read the text
[23:58:01] xris: Plantain: the "over the edges" is overscan, and is normal for TV... try purging ~/.mythtv/themecache/
[23:58:09] xris: for the other issues
[23:58:11] Anduin: mistone: tv_grab_na (the new one) should be able to save the file
[23:59:31] Plantain: xris: Okay, trying that now
