[00:05:31] daedalus8: just kidding. Unfortunately, I have no clue.
[00:05:44] docjay: the mythfilldatabase window should disappear on it own right?

[00:27:22] XpertKnobTwiddlr: which nvidia PCIe card should I buy for HDTV using myth?
[00:29:13] docjay: under setup and input connections, it lists my card and says (television) --> (none) & then (compoisite1) --> (none)
[00:29:47] docjay: do I have to configure something here just to get OTA hooked up to the card or am I missing a big step?
[00:33:40] docjay: anyone?
[00:36:43] Zathraz: what is OTA?
[00:37:12] XpertKnobTwiddlr: Zathraz: OTA = Over The Air
[00:37:58] Zathraz: docjay, first make sure the card is working ok without mythtv
[00:38:34] Zathraz: but that is more of a general rule. Then you have to 'add' the card to mythtv

[00:39:57] JoeyJoeJo: my recordings are showing up as being 3+ hours long when they're only 30 minutes.. also commercial flagging fails.. what causes this?
[00:46:00] mzb_d800: hi all ... for some reason I haven't had the tables created for me in the database for mythmusic ... the docs talk about metadata.sql but I'm unable to find it .. any suggestions?
[00:46:07] docjay: Zathraz – the card DOES work, so I'm okay there... mythtv sees it and I've added a source, but when I tell it to scan for channels, it scans but it doesn't find anything
[00:46:42] splAt1 is now known as splat1
[00:46:52] Zathraz: maybe use xawtv and do a scan? Or manually add frequencies through MythWeb?
[00:47:07] docjay: what is xawtv?
[00:47:43] Zathraz: a tvwatch app not directly related to Myth with scan option
[00:48:08] Zathraz: also make sure that mythtv has rights to the device
[00:48:42] Zathraz: as an alternative run mythfrontend with verbose logging and check that log besides syslog and messages
[00:49:53] docjay: k, also wondering my myfilldatabase windows never closes by itself.. I have a schedules direct account, could it be waiting to finish talking to thier servers?
[00:50:45] Zathraz: "myfilldatabase windows" ? I run it as a cronjob commandline. No window there....

[00:53:36] mzb_d800: you'll probably find that the grabber needs extra info ... eg. username, pass, +other prefs

[00:55:18] mzb_d800: can anyone tell me how to create the mythmusic database tables?
[00:56:02] markl_: ok noob question here: how do I get myth to use the lirc codes now that irw is working?
[00:56:10] venger: i finally get SPID sound work for aplay and then I use mythvideo internal player and watch a ripped dvd and have sound during the WB logo but from that point on I dont have any sound, any ideas?
[00:56:17] JoeyJoeJo: mzb_d800: you could install phpmyadmin and try doing it like that.. I don't know of a command that just does it
[00:56:18] venger: c/SPID/SPDIF
[00:57:03] JoeyJoeJo: mark: you need a .lircrc file.. I think it goes in ~/.mythtv
[00:57:41] JoeyJoeJo: my bad.. the file it just lircrc.. no periods
[00:58:14] mzb_d800: JoeyJoeJo: I already have that ... I even have an old mythtv database with the tables in it ... and yes I could export the structure and import to new ... but I want to know why they haven't been created in the first place, and what creates them
[00:59:22] Zathraz: mzb_d800, have you checked: http://mythtv.org/docs/mythtv-HOWTO-6.html#ss6.2
[00:59:25] JoeyJoeJo: mzb_d800: I think (the keyword here is think) that if you build a brand new DB, the first time you run mythmusic it will create the tables.. but I'm only like 50% sure about that
[01:00:33] mzb_d800: Zathraz: thanks, I already have a mythtv database ... just not the mythmusic tables
[01:00:49] mzb_d800: JoeyJoeJo: hmm ...
[01:01:13] robbins876: when i try to watch live tv in myth, i get a pink screen...audio is fine, but a pink screen for video...also, when i try to watch a video i get a a green screen, the same thing there, good audio, no video. When I run mythfrontend in terminal i see this error... http://pastebin.ca/729368
[01:01:46] Zathraz: mzb_d800, maybe it is in the README etc. as supplied by the mythmusic plugin?
[01:01:55] mzb_d800: nope
[01:02:05] JoeyJoeJo: robbins876: do you have XvMC enabled?
[01:02:21] robbins876: i have no idea
[01:02:24] robbins876: how do i do that?
[01:02:39] robbins876: i've turned it off in tv > playback settings
[01:02:46] robbins876: but it still uses it
[01:03:04] JoeyJoeJo: so you've turned XvMC off and you still get the weird video?
[01:03:22] robbins876: yep
[01:03:27] robbins876: just a pink screen

[01:04:00] JoeyJoeJo: do you have the right drivers for your video card working?
[01:04:08] robbins876: i believe so
[01:04:26] JoeyJoeJo: I'm guessing you have an nvidia card?
[01:04:29] robbins876: how would i check? everything else works. even if i capture video from my tvcard and watch it in mplayer it works there, just not in myth
[01:04:33] robbins876: yeah, i have an nvidia
[01:05:00] mzb_d800: it appears that Debian postinst scripts run mythmusic-0-7-to-0–8.sql or mythmusic-0-8-to-0–9.sql
[01:05:03] mzb_d800: but they don't exist
[01:05:04] JoeyJoeJo: check in your xorg.conf file (usually at /etc/X11/xorg.conf) and see if under "device" that the driver says nvidia
[01:05:17] JoeyJoeJo: robbins: also you can run the lsmod command and see if nvidia is in the list
[01:05:23] robbins876: yes, it does
[01:06:18] JoeyJoeJo: is nvidia listed when you run lsmod?
[01:07:32] robbins876: yep

[01:09:26] Zathraz: mzb_d800, running dpkg -S mythmusic does not provide any usefull info
[01:10:26] mzb_d800: depends what you want to know ;)
[01:10:39] mzb_d800: I've examined both the Debian package and the source
[01:10:42] mzb_d800: neither seem to work

[01:12:37] venger: mythvideo says a similar thing for 5 audio streams "Warning, audio codec 0x8f570d0 id(AC3) type (Audio) already open, leaving it alone" could this cause the loss of sound after the dvd title switch?
[01:12:38] robbins876: i installed mythtv using the yum install mythtv-suite command, how can i undo that?
[01:13:38] mzb_d800: ah ... it appears (so far) that it's looking for a local sqlserver
[01:13:43] mzb_d800: (mine is remote)
[01:15:41] Zathraz: mzb_d800, I am running MythTV on Debian with Debian packages from 0.16 to 0.20 fine
[01:16:00] mzb_d800: yes, mine runs fine, too
[01:16:18] mzb_d800: just mythmusic not working because tables don't exist
[01:16:29] mzb_d800: s/fine/fine (almost)/
[01:17:34] Zathraz: I have no issues but it is an system migrated from 0.15 to 0.20 with everything in between
[01:17:56] markl_: ok so the MCE remote has buttons to go straight to live tv, to the guide, to the dvd menu
[01:18:02] markl_: are these usable ?
[01:18:24] Zathraz: depends on mappings markl_
[01:18:37] Zathraz: you should define them in lirc config
[01:18:51] markl_: right, my question is if it is even possible to map to these
[01:19:19] cww: n00b question on the pchdtv HD-5500 card, can I _only_ receive HD signals with it? That is, since I have a STB, if I change the channel to a non-HD station, will I be able to view/recod it with teh HD-5500?
[01:19:29] Zathraz: if irw or mode2 recognizes them: yes
[01:19:56] markl_: cww: doubtful
[01:20:25] Zathraz: I guess I overlooked this on the wiki, but is it possible to play a music CD with MythTV (0.20) with Ripping it first? (direct play with for instance workbone or cdtools )
[01:20:26] markl_: Zathraz: ok cool, irw recognizes all of the buttons but only the navigation, ok, play/pause buttons seem to work
[01:21:06] cww: markl_: yeah, kind of what I thought. tyvm
[01:24:02] mzb_d800: stuff it ... exported structure from old database

[02:10:08] venger: took me forever! mplayer wouldn't just take alang=en on the command line and play my ripped dvd in english, i had to update /etc/mplayer/mplayer.conf. Its probably not worth my time trying to fix this in the mythvideo internal player
[02:11:39] Dr_willis: Travis|iMac, try some better cables? dont crank the pc volume over say 75%. and dont crank the tv to the max either. :)

[05:41:24] opello: xris: that's a good point
[05:41:58] opello: or a decoder that would give you a transport stream and take a cablecard

[05:49:52] xris: surillis: what do you want to know?
[05:49:57] surillis: i guess my question what is the impact of drm
[05:50:02] xris: what drm?
[05:50:16] surillis: digital rights managment encryption
[05:50:19] surillis: stuff like taht
[05:50:23] xris: there is no DRM on broadcast signals
[05:50:31] xris: or on firewire
[05:50:42] surillis: oh
[05:50:49] xris: broadcast flag never went into effect
[05:51:08] surillis: so i shouldn't have any trouble vieing streams
[05:51:15] surillis: sweet thanks for the info
[05:51:23] xris: didn't say that
[05:51:28] xris: signal might be encrypted...
[05:51:35] surillis: er ok
[05:51:36] xris: but that's not DRM. that's just encryption.
[05:51:46] surillis: kk
[05:51:52] xris: broadcast should be fine/unencrypted.
[05:52:06] xris: cable/QAM/firewire might be encrypted.
[05:52:15] xris: satellite is almost always encrypted..
[05:52:22] surillis: what i have head there isn't much that can be done if the signal is encrypted. how often does that happen
[05:52:23] xris: nothing legal you can do about encryption
[05:52:42] xris: surillis: what type of connection?
[05:53:02] Rommie: Can't you legally decrypt anything, so long as you don't share the information that you glean for said decryption?
[05:53:15] surillis: i am thinking about using firewire from a set top box. i was thinking that so i could controll the set top from the pc
[05:53:23] xris: Rommie: dmca forbids decryption in the US
[05:53:34] Rommie: Ouch
[05:53:51] xris: surillis: firewire varies depending on the local franchise. you should at least get the local broadcast stations in the clear (that much is required by the FCC)
[05:54:00] Rommie: In canada, you can decrypt anything (the exact case that brought this about was in regards to wireless sniffing), and view all the data, so long as you don't do anything with the data
[05:54:05] xris: if you're lucky like those in the seattle area, you could also get your SD channels, too
[05:54:54] surillis: so i might have trouble with like discovery hd and such i am in denver co using comcast
[05:56:17] surillis: again sorry for the question. i am trying to detirmine viability of the system.

[07:28:51] Netslayer: bsdfox, originally mythvideo played it through myth, so now i'm trying mplayer and interestingly with xvmc it's really laggy. waiting for it to go green
[07:30:22] NRGizeR: hey, I'm hoping someone here has an idea about this, because I've been drawing a blank.... The situtaion: I have two DVB-C cards, one for unencrypted channels, and one with a CI/conax reader. I have some pay channels from the local cablecompany.
[07:31:03] NRGizeR: Now, everything has been working swimmingly for about a month, but then my mobo crashed and I upgraded to a new computer and installed the new SuSE 10.3 on the machine (instead of 10.2 that was there)
[07:31:04] Netslayer: bsdfox, ic green :-)
[07:31:32] NRGizeR: everything worked for a while again, but then yesterday, all of a sudden, I started getting mpeg2video errors on all pay channels :<
[07:32:03] NRGizeR: if I do "watch tv" and it tunes directly to a conax chan, it shows nothing but a blank screen (and then the video error dialog)
[07:32:47] NRGizeR: HOWEVER. The weird thing is that if I watch 'regular' tv first, and then change to a conax chan, it shows the encrypted video for about 5–10seconds before freezing
[07:33:16] NRGizeR: would anyone have any idea whatsoever about what could be causing this?
[07:33:50] NRGizeR: ('worked for a while again' above means about a day btw :) during heavy configuration changes)
[07:34:26] NRGizeR: I can't recall changing anything that would be related to the CI/conax interface, and I can't see anything obvious in the logs :<
[07:35:19] NRGizeR: my immediate suspicion was of course that the CI reader is broken, but then how is it possible that it shows 5–10s of tv when I tune to the channel after watching an unencrypted one?

[08:01:37] directhex|work: Ned_, it sounds like a common symptom of not using a WM, which causes focus issues when spawning an mplayer window from inside myth

[08:14:05] Ned_: directhex|work: I'm not using a wm
[08:14:28] Ned_: I just put exec mythfrontend in the mythtv user's .xinitrc
[08:14:32] Ned_: then startx as that user
[08:14:44] Ned_: so err, I need a wm?, any suggestions ?
[08:14:52] Ned_: will twm suffice ?
[08:15:53] directhex|work: xfwm4 and *box are generally well regarded for the job
[08:15:59] Ned_: right ...
[08:16:07] directhex|work: i never got twm working as i wanted
[08:16:19] Ned_: directhex|work: so err, with those wms
[08:16:32] Ned_: what do you put in .xinitrc ?
[08:16:38] Ned_: something like,
[08:16:43] Ned_: mythfrontend &
[08:16:47] Ned_: exec wm
[08:16:49] Ned_: ?
[08:16:55] directhex|work: the reverse
[08:17:02] Ned_: err, ok
[08:17:03] Ned_: :)
[08:17:07] directhex|work: run the wm, then the app
[08:17:11] ** Ned_ tries it with twm (cuz I already have that) **
[08:18:01] Ned_: no, I lie
[08:18:07] Ned_: crap, I need to install a wm
[08:18:10] Ned_: so what do you recommend ?
[08:18:33] jduggan: something lightweight
[08:18:38] Ned_: okay,
[08:18:43] ** Ned_ tries xfwm4 **
[08:18:44] jduggan: fvwm/fluxbox
[08:18:48] jduggan: ive used
[08:18:48] Ned_: I could try ion
[08:18:55] Ned_: but I don't think it'll like that much either :p
[08:18:59] directhex|work: i've used xfwm4 for the job in the past (will require lots of gtk2 dependencies) and use openbox currently (which doesn't)
[08:19:13] Ned_: directhex|work: oh well, I don't mind the gtk2 stuff too much
[08:19:15] jduggan: is openbox yet another fork of blackbox?
[08:19:17] directhex|work: in the future i'll be shifting back to xfwm4
[08:19:22] Ned_: actually, it didn't pull very much gtk2 stuff at all
[08:19:30] sebrock: where are transcoded stuff put? same folder?
[08:20:32] Ned_: directhex|work: interesting, the mplayer keyboard shortcuts work now
[08:20:47] Ned_: which is interesting, because at _some_ point I had weird myth HUD stuff happening while video was playing ...
[08:20:51] Ned_: what's normal ?
[08:21:46] directhex|work: Ned_, normal? well, seamlessness, of course
[08:22:18] Ned_: directhex|work: heh, faire nough
[08:22:18] directhex|work: Ned_, if you want to use the internal mythtv player rather than mplayer, you need to configure mythvideo to use "Internal" as its player app
[08:22:26] Ned_: oh, right ...
[08:22:30] Ned_: and what does that use on the backend ?
[08:22:35] Ned_: like a special binary ?
[08:22:39] Ned_: or a wrapper around mplayer or something ?
[08:22:47] directhex|work: that'll use the same keyboard shortcuts as mythtv's recoring playback and so on
[08:23:24] directhex|work: myth includes its own built-in copy of ffmpeg. it uses that library for playback functionality
[08:23:24] Ned_: ok
[08:23:29] Ned_: right ...
[08:23:32] Ned_: cheers for all the help :)

[09:42:12] NRGizeR: that's 2 hours ago btw
[09:42:39] NRGizeR: Dagmar: and the thing is that encrypted chans ARE available (at least with DVB)
[09:42:54] NRGizeR: since I've had it working for about a month, and now it gives me weird errors :<
[09:43:42] NRGizeR: the workflow has been: working encrypted dvb -> crashed mobo -> upgraded machine and opensuse version -> new database since the old one was corrupted in the crash -> working channels -> not working a couple of hours later
[09:50:53] Dagmar: So, if you were actually getting encrypted stuff, how were you decrypting it?
[09:51:08] NRGizeR: CI/CAM/Conax
[09:51:27] NRGizeR: connected to a tra
[09:51:29] NRGizeR: hmpf
[09:51:34] Dagmar: Good luck sorting it out then
[09:51:43] NRGizeR: connected to a technotrend budget card
[09:52:07] NRGizeR: Dagmar: mmm... it's driving me insane really... I had this "windows moment" last night
[09:52:24] NRGizeR: you know, the frustration of it just not working, and nothing to give a hint of what to do to correct it
[09:52:45] directhex|work: is your CAM showing as initialized in dmesg et al?
[09:53:05] directhex|work: or when you restart your backend, is it in the mythtv backend log?
[09:53:29] NRGizeR: hmm... not sure if I checked this boot...
[09:53:52] NRGizeR: then again, how could it decrypt 10 seconds if I change from a free channel if the CAM wasn't working?
[09:54:01] NRGizeR: is there a technical explanation for that?
[09:54:06] directhex|work: and when attempting to tune an encrypted channel, do you see "2004-01–14 16:04:45 DVB#0 Sending PMT to CAM in slot 1." or similar in your logs?
[09:54:09] NRGizeR: I mean, could it in principal be possible?
[09:54:25] directhex|work: in principle? sure. it could be an intermitent problem
[09:54:45] directhex|work: if you want to stop trying to track it down, and simply wave your hands in the air and go "it's buggered", that's an option
[09:55:27] sebrock: Dagmar, in that case. Transcoding will only remove commersials?
[09:56:26] directhex|work: sebrock, that would be the only reason to do it, sure – but not neccessarily the only effect a transcode job would have

[09:57:33] NRGizeR: just wanted to know if it actually mattered that it was able to tune sometimes
[09:58:44] NRGizeR: the only thing I find in the backend logs when I grep for CAM though is "CAM: Conax 4.00e, 01, 0B00, 04B1"
[09:58:50] NRGizeR: so it seems to be loaded but not used?
[09:58:56] directhex|work: that's good, that's normal
[09:59:21] sebrock: directhex you are right... might worsen the quality you mean?
[09:59:23] directhex|work: that means the backend has initialized the cam. the question now is whether it gets used
[09:59:28] directhex|work: sebrock, yes
[09:59:32] sebrock: hmm damn
[09:59:43] NRGizeR: now that you say it, I do believe I had this problem back when I bought this CAM as well
[09:59:44] sebrock: ah well, the flags gets set anyway right
[09:59:50] NRGizeR: but can't remember what I did then to make it work
[10:00:01] NRGizeR: think it was pretty much rocketmagic that time around :)

[10:00:53] NRGizeR: sooo... is there a way to give myth a hint that it should be using the CAM for a given channel?
[10:01:35] directhex|work: it ought to know. when doing your setup, did you create 2 different video sources, one for the CAM-equipped card, one for the other?
[10:02:13] NRGizeR: no, didn't have one from before either...
[10:02:24] NRGizeR: didn't quite figure out how that was supposed to work :)
[10:02:46] NRGizeR: hmmm... could it be then that the channels were scanned with the wrong card?
[10:02:57] directhex|work: yes, it could
[10:03:00] directhex|work: maybe
[10:03:02] NRGizeR: hmmm...
[10:03:17] NRGizeR: then there should be a flag in the channel table somewhere for that, right?

[10:06:10] Freman: I didn't have this problem before I was forced to reformat (was 32bit back then) is now 64bit. Anyone know what might be the cause?

[10:08:08] Freman: I've got 3 tuners in total
[10:08:28] Freman: two of them are the same chipset on the same card, one is a different chipset on a differen card
[10:08:46] Freman: the individual tuner is currently recording one channel fine without issue.
[10:09:10] Freman: one of the other tuners is recording on another channel – this recording has corruption
[10:10:07] Freman: when I fire up the third one (second one on card) and go live tv there's no corruption on ch 7, 10, 2 or 28 but there's corruption on 9, which is what the second tuner is recording
[10:10:30] sebrock: because my mythweb says file is not available, however it is... using the ubuntu resp mythweb
[10:10:39] sebrock: 0.20 2007–01 something...
[10:10:52] NRGizeR: Freman: I've had this in the past as well... And I've chaulked it down to a signalstrength problem at least
[10:11:11] Freman: unfortunatly it's consistent
[10:11:13] NRGizeR: because when I put an amplifier on the antenna cable it worked again
[10:11:21] Freman: I've got an amp )c:
[10:11:28] NRGizeR: mmkay :)
[10:12:03] Freman: if I'm not recording I can watch all 5 channels on all 3 tuners (havn't tried simultaniously, havn't worked out how to do that)
[10:19:41] Freman: I think I found the problem with my mythtv... cx88[0]/2-mpeg: cx8802_timeout (Just not sure whether it's kernel version or arch or something else causing it)
[10:20:00] Freman: my logs full of cx88[0]/2-mpeg: cx8802_timeout
[10:21:27] Freman: nope that aint it

[10:41:43] Freman: I'm going to have to simulate some tests... somehow
[10:42:42] Freman: probably the first thing I have to do is get it recording on the dvico2... then try to watching something on one of the dvico4 tuners
[10:43:22] Freman: (this isn't minor corruption, this is corruption to the level that an hour long show plays out as 10 minutes of coloured blocks)
[10:45:07] NRGizeR: nice :)
[10:45:17] NRGizeR: ... or maybe not
[10:45:47] Freman: thankfully there isn't much worth watching on channel 9...
[10:46:15] Freman: then of coure... there's the posibility of problems with the damn mobo
[10:46:24] Freman: or the damn card
[10:46:26] rooaus: Freman: They are USB tuners I think, I would follow that path of enquiry.
[10:46:57] Freman: yeh, dvico dual dvb4 tuners are dual usb tuners on a via pci/usb bridge
[10:47:34] Freman: the other one is a dvb2, with an actual cx88_dvb on it
[10:49:08] Freman: I also have to doule check to make sure I have the right firmware
[10:49:10] ** Freman crys **
[10:49:15] rooaus: Freman: Some people have said they have probs with the usb tuners, but I don't know how current/relevant that is anymore.
[10:50:07] Freman: well the dvico dvb2 had one 'real' pci and one usb one – a dodgy psu nuked the usb one...
[10:51:01] Freman: the dvb4 is two usb's mounted on a pci card, and it's an issue in it's self (xc3028 + patches + patches to make the damn think work in au) – but having said that... before this format it was working fine...
[10:51:55] rooaus: Freman: Maybe it is related to one tuner in particular, Myth will use tuners based on their card number. Did you add the tuners in the same order?
[10:52:24] Freman: yes
[10:52:44] rooaus: not sure then
[10:52:59] Freman: I've had strange problems this build – if I put the dvb4 into another pci slot it shows up as a completely different card type (it's got a 1 bit eror)
[10:53:13] Freman: shows up as a SAA not USB
[10:53:36] ** Freman is actually growing tired of all the BS, I've had a mythtv box for 3 years now... **
[10:53:37] directhex|work: your hardware sounds *gently loved* to me

[11:09:40] Freman: Not all my chans are reporting S/N ratio, but all those that are (Including 9) 4.7db (min) to 4.8db (max)
[11:10:15] Freman: no, now ch9 has dropped to 4.5db
[11:10:29] Freman: all the sigs are 69%
[11:10:39] Freman: ch9 bounces...
[11:12:15] Freman: S/N and Sig both disapear, come back...
[11:13:13] Freman: good news is... it happens recording or not...
[11:13:27] Freman: so it's probably not disk access causing the issue
[11:13:35] rooaus: Freman: When was the PSU event?
[11:13:54] Freman: ummm a while back, this is a brand new card tho
[11:14:24] Freman: (I sent the toasted one back to the manufacturer, they said there was nothing wrong with it, but the one they sent me back had a different serial #)
[11:14:51] Freman: it's only one channel... but both tuners on the hacky driver card
[11:14:58] Freman: it's narrowed it down a lot

[11:16:18] Freman: supply
[11:16:29] Freman: the 5v rail would go between 5.1v and 3.3v

[11:17:27] Freman: specifically
[11:17:29] Freman: the firmware
[11:17:49] Freman: cos there's an issue in the original firmware for tuning in this counry

[11:19:31] Freman: no, sbs is perfect
[11:19:35] Freman: it's just channel 9
[11:19:59] Freman: (not much worth watching on ch 9 anyway, I record the odd show from there for 'noise in the background' type viewing)
[11:20:36] ** Freman waits for his box to reboot (so many modules, it's just easier to reload the firmware this way) **
[11:21:26] Freman: cept it's trying to unmount an nfs share on a machine that isn't on...

[14:32:49] hendrixski: or... since this question may involve code... should I ask it on the #mythtv channel?

[14:44:41] ** laga tries to reproduce the segfault **
[14:45:29] hendrixski: :-( there's nothing on the wiki about nuppel, so I thought I'd ask here.. what is the easiest way to call it? if possible, from one of the XML files that make up a menu (without having to make a whole plugin)?
[14:45:59] laga: hendrixski: make sure that mplayer doesnt take long to start because of caching.
[14:46:15] Dagmar: 1. There is no "nupple player"
[14:46:15] laga: web streams tend to be (partially) cached.
[14:46:27] Dagmar: 2. The internal player MythTV has is pretty much For The Win for most things at this point.
[14:46:42] hendrixski: laga how do I find out if it's caching?
[14:46:51] laga: hendrixski: start it in a terminal.
[14:47:13] laga: Dagmar: unless it crashes when i play a dvd ;)
[14:47:15] Dagmar: As far as _streaming across the network_ is concerned, Mplayer is *always* going to delay for a bit while it pulls up a bunch of the first part of the file so it can have a cache
[14:48:23] hendrixski: Dagmar, ah... so nuppel being "for the win" would be faster?
[14:48:30] ** hendrixski starts mplayer on a stream in a terminal **
[14:50:28] hendrixski: k, so I logged the output, then searched for 'cache' ... it pops up in a few places
[14:50:43] hendrixski: ooh, there's a -nochace option
[14:51:18] laga: ;/
[14:52:44] hendrixski: that doesn't seem to help though
[14:53:01] laga: it caches for a reason :)
[14:53:22] laga: god this drives me nuts. i cant reproduce this seg fault
[14:53:25] hendrixski: oh, I want to give it _more_ cache
[14:53:33] hendrixski: ?
[14:53:37] laga: in gdb, that is
[14:53:44] laga: hendrixski: do you know what caching means?
[14:54:19] hendrixski: roughly: that it has more memory to store extra stuff in
[14:54:40] laga: yes
[14:54:50] hendrixski: so that it doesn't have to fetch over and over etc.
[14:54:55] laga: assume it fills the cache at a certain speed. if you increase cache size, it'll take longer to fill
[14:55:12] laga: hendrixski: well, especially to buffer network problems etc
[14:55:15] hendrixski: oh
[14:57:08] hendrixski: also, it feels like the longest part is "resolving the address" ... is there a way to speed that up... maybe DNS or something?

[15:10:23] Dagmar: ...and since the page says it records in MPEG-1/2 or DivX (which is the telltale) then it's probably another craptacular framegrabber card you don't want.
[15:11:39] keith4: ew, I didn't see that
[15:11:54] Dagmar: I've learned to look, look, look for telltales.
[15:12:15] hendrixski: <Dagmar> 2. The internal player MythTV has is pretty much For The Win for most things at this point. <hendrixski> Dagmar, when you said nuppelvideo is ftw, you mean..? <Dagmar> Oh I sure as hell did not say that
[15:12:18] ** hendrixski is confused **
[15:12:30] keith4: heh
[15:12:32] Dagmar: So what part of "I didn't say that" is confusing you.
[15:12:45] keith4: what does NUV have to do with the internal video player?
[15:12:51] Dagmar: If you can't separate the meanings between two different and distinct sentences, then there is no hope for you.
[15:12:52] hendrixski: oh
[15:13:08] hendrixski: I thought nuppel *was* the internal player
[15:13:20] Dagmar: No, the internal player is the internal player.
[15:13:43] Dagmar: It happens to be able to read nuppelvideo, but it is most definitely not just an nuv player.
[15:14:10] keith4: is it going to replace mplayer as player of choice for mythvideo?
[15:14:22] Dagmar: It did a long time ago.
[15:14:35] Dagmar: And perhaps you should have remembered to look at "1. There is no "nuppel video" player."
[15:14:51] Dagmar: How I could have been saying something that doesn't exist is FTW is a little bent.
[15:15:10] hendrixski: Dagmar, umm, thanks I guess
[15:15:49] hendrixski: so what does this do? http://www.cuymedia.net/doxygen-dev-docs/html . . . -source.html
[15:16:13] ** keith4 snickers **
[15:16:13] Dagmar: It functions as a cute little text file you can print out.
[15:16:14] hendrixski: there's zero documentation about it there, and nothing came up on the wiki. does that only play a certain kind of video?
[15:16:56] Dagmar: Header files don't play *anything*
[15:17:03] Dagmar: They are just headers.
[15:17:17] keith4: that is a large header file
[15:18:01] Dagmar: Perhaps if instead of trying to be "clever" you were to just explain what it is you're trying to *do*.
[15:18:09] hendrixski: so there is no nuppel video player, despite their being a class for it
[15:18:38] Ryushin: I haven't tried the internal DVD player in a couple of months or so. Has any improvement been done to it to fix the fast skipping rewinding bug? For example, if I fast forward by hitting my skip button to move ahead 15 seconds, and I do that a few times real quick, the video will freeze and the sound will play about 10 speed.
[15:18:52] hendrixski: <hendrixski> I made a quick menu page of some of the internet TV streams that I watch by calling <action> mplayer -fs -zoom mms://stream address
[15:18:52] hendrixski: <hendrixski> The problem is that this takes a long time for mplayer to pop up, is there a way I can have that come up faster by using <edidt> SOMETHING ELSE</edit>

[15:22:22] Dagmar: I just wanted one that made sense, acutally.
[15:22:30] Dagmar: There's not any way (to my knowledge) to call the internal player through any kind of external action like a shell script.
[15:23:00] ** hendrixski never said anything about a shell script **
[15:23:08] laga: it doesnt support network stuff AFAIK
[15:23:21] keith4: hendrixski: it's nothing personal, he's always like this
[15:23:32] Dagmar: keith4: Don't give me that "like this" business.
[15:23:42] directhex|work: juski's the irritable one
[15:23:44] Dagmar: I give him a straightforward answer and he tangents off every time
[15:23:46] keith4: hendrixski: and you would be too, if you had to put up with what he puts up with ;-)
[15:24:08] hendrixski: keith4, well, I hope I'm not being a nuissance. that's not at all what I came here to do
[15:24:15] Dagmar: <action></action> calls external things, like shell scripts
[15:24:53] directhex|work: hendrixski, short answer: there is no way to avoid buffering with mms streams. and there's no elegant way to integrate it into myth until someone writes the MythLowResAndUgly plugin that none of the main developers can be bothered with
[15:25:06] keith4: Dagmar: how far back does your buffer go? did you see the question I answered last night?
[15:25:12] Dagmar: ...although usually those are done slightly more explicitly with things like EXECTV and so forth
[15:25:30] Dagmar: keith4: Nope
[15:25:37] keith4: <Cyrexion> can someone explain to me what the "re-record" option is
[15:25:37] keith4: for? if I recorded a show on sunday and tuesday comes along (2 days
[15:25:37] keith4: later), I can re-record the sunday show on a tuesday?
[15:25:37] keith4: <Cyrexion> what if that show isn't airing on tuesday?
[15:25:54] Dagmar: I'm using a window about 12 lines high. I'm *not* engaging in any kind of extended scrollback hunt unless there's sizable money on the line
[15:25:56] hendrixski: directhex|work, aha. that's Ok. i can live with the buffering for now
[15:26:04] directhex|work: hendrixski, if you think DNS is your choke point, use an IP address instead of a dns name.
[15:26:28] directhex|work: hendrixski, one way to make things more elegant is to generate a .asx file, and browse your .asx files using mythvideo
[15:26:29] Dagmar: keith4: yes, I'd be asking for that guys home address to find out how much cab fare to go stab him to death would be.
[15:26:35] keith4: lol
[15:26:44] keith4: I couldn't tell if he was serious or not
[15:26:59] hendrixski: that's a good idea.... know of any good reading materials on how I can get the ip address of the mms location?
[15:27:04] hendrixski: or on asx files?
[15:27:46] directhex|work: hendrixski, "host somehostname" ?

[16:38:27] mkrufky: does anybody have a recommendation as per which NVidia card I should buy for my new mythfrontend? (PCIe x16) ?

[16:39:03] mkrufky: looks like 7600 is well supported, but 8500+ has HD hardware decoding features (not yet supported) that may be supported in the future...
[16:39:13] Dr_willis: mkrufky, whats the budget?
[16:39:18] mkrufky: no budget :-)
[16:39:27] Dr_willis: and how imporntant is noise..
[16:39:30] Dr_willis: and heat. :)
[16:39:44] mkrufky: although i'd prefer to spend < $100 ..... i'd buy a more expensive one if it's worth it for good reason
[16:39:44] Dr_willis: Thers some decent nvidia Fanless cards out now. for like in the $50 range.
[16:39:49] jduggan: i dont think myth needs that decent a card
[16:39:56] mkrufky: i'd prefer less noise, and less heat, of course
[16:39:59] jduggan: and nvidia pci-e is gonna be decent enough IMO
[16:40:02] jduggan: s/and/any/
[16:40:05] Dr_willis: 5500,. or 5200 or somthing.. i think has a fanless design now.
[16:40:19] mkrufky: i dont think that they make 5200 / 5500 in PCIe
[16:40:32] Dr_willis: mkrufky, actually i THINK they do now.
[16:40:40] Dr_willis: it may be a different ## however.
[16:40:49] mkrufky: i know myth doesnt _need_ a super powered card, but i'd kinda like to buy something nice for forward-compatability
[16:40:54] janneg: mkrufky: afaik nvidia has no intentions to support HD decoding under linux
[16:40:56] Dr_willis: i cant keep up with nvidia stuff.. was looking the other day at cards and saw some pcie fanless cards.
[16:41:11] mkrufky: even if extra features are not yet supported, might be nice to have for the future anyway
[16:41:27] mkrufky: oh! ... ok that helps a lot janneg ... so then perhaps the 7600 series is a good bet
[16:41:29] venger: mkrufky i learned something, found a post: net result on our single port amp +15 -8dBmv for a 4-way splitter nets +7, a 4 port amp gains +7 but removes the 4-way splitter (add back the 8dBmV you lose through the splitter) net gain is a true +15 dBmV gain
[16:42:12] venger: so basically a 4 port +7 is better than a +15 if you are going to end up splitting the signal
[16:42:17] janneg: the my 6200 is to slow for the new opengl renderer at HD resolution
[16:42:19] mkrufky: can I trust a fanless card?  ;-)

[16:44:02] mkrufky: my older mythfrontend was rebooting by itself, using a AGP 5200 ... i think it was heat, but im not sure.... i just moved to a new apartment, and i dont want to deal with that problem anymore
[16:44:08] bsdfox_: get a 7300LE for $30 on newegg
[16:44:18] mkrufky: LE .. hmm, less memory, probably
[16:44:20] bsdfox_: setup lm_sensors?
[16:44:32] bsdfox_: you can get 128mb w/ 512 turbocache
[16:44:41] bsdfox_: all you need for htpc
[16:45:01] mkrufky: is that enough for the slick 3d screensavers?  ;-)
[16:45:17] bsdfox_: one of my frontends has a 5200fx and one is waiting for the 7300le to get here :)
[16:45:19] mkrufky: i think i need to re-phrase my question:
[16:45:22] janneg: turbocache isn't supported by the linux drivers, or?
[16:45:33] bsdfox_: janneg: dunno
[16:45:43] bsdfox_: 128mb is a lot of video ram for me
[16:45:46] mkrufky: all i actually need the card for is HD mythfrontend, but I move cards around all the time, so what I want to buy is the "most bang for the buck"
[16:45:49] Dagmar: It's not like it matters.
[16:45:55] Dagmar: TC isn't actually video memory.
[16:46:11] Dagmar: It's just burgling huge chunks of your *system* memory
[16:46:21] bsdfox_: oh for HD I dunno what you'll need
[16:46:39] bsdfox_: might want to get a 8-series card like 8400 or something
[16:46:51] Dagmar: It won't make much difference
[16:47:05] mkrufky: yes... as i understand, under myth, they're all just as good as each other
[16:47:07] Dagmar: If anything an 8xxx card would be more prone to driver issues
[16:47:08] bsdfox_: I know 8-series has hardware decoding for hdtv
[16:47:21] Dagmar: ...which is completely not supported by the Linux driver.
[16:47:24] mkrufky: ah... so would you recommend instead, Dagmar, a 7600 ?
[16:47:31] janneg: which is definitely not supported by the linux driver
[16:47:38] bsdfox_: if you;re getting a 7 series just get the cheap one dude
[16:47:43] Dagmar: I would recommend going cheap on the video card for now and buying as much CPU as you can if you want HD playback
[16:47:58] mkrufky: 7600 was ~ $80  — thats fine with me
[16:48:17] Dagmar: We might or might not get driver support for HD (more than likely we won't get it) but ther'es not that much a $30 video card can depreciate
[16:48:27] mkrufky: i already have the machine ready — i was using it for PCIe driver devel.... but now i want to convert it into my new frontend
[16:48:40] mkrufky: it's got a pentium D, dont remember the speed — it's surely fast enough
[16:48:50] bsdfox_: pentium D sucks
[16:48:59] mkrufky: yeah, but it's good enough :-)
[16:49:03] Dagmar: It should still be fast enough
[16:49:04] bsdfox_: doubt it
[16:49:05] xris: bsdfox_: mine works great.
[16:49:39] mkrufky: considering my old mythfrontend was an AMD athlon 2200+, and it did HD just fine, this should be an improvement
[16:49:40] bsdfox_: I can barely play full rate 1080 on my 3ghz core duo
[16:49:44] mkrufky: er, 3200+
[16:49:54] xris: bsdfox_: then something's definitely wrong
[16:50:06] mkrufky: really? 1080 works fine on my machine... you have something else wrong then, bsdfox_
[16:50:06] bsdfox_: one of my frontends is a celeron 800 :D
[16:50:40] xris: 1.8Ghz core2 duo plays HD just fine. and so does a 2.4 Ghz pentium D
[16:50:43] bsdfox_: it was the bbc sample clip
[16:50:50] xris: heck, a 2.4 Ghz pentium 4 can do it with a good video card.
[16:51:07] xris: bsdfox_: that's h.264... slightly different, and I'll grant that to you.
[16:51:08] mkrufky: ok, so in summary — I should stay away from the nvidia 8xxx series, correct? and anything else should be fine?

[16:53:00] mkrufky: hmm... 8500 for $69, 8600 for $89 ... doesnt sound expensive to me
[16:53:05] xris: Dr_willis: I went the other way. pci 5200 in the mythbox, but it's a core2 quad.
[16:53:17] xris: granted, the mythbox now has a 6800 in it.

[16:55:04] mkrufky: but if it's the same heat between the 7600 and 8x00 , then i would tend to go for the lamborguini penis, 8xxx

[17:08:45] venger: my first and only HDTV so far is a 160lb 30" panny crt
[17:08:45] my2keh: Cnet usually has reviews on most models, and user's post their own reviews as well
[17:09:13] my2keh: The reason I went with the Sammy (other then picture of course)
[17:09:17] my2keh: is that it had 3 HDMI's
[17:09:28] siXy: i tend to find user reviews unhelpful... "wow this is soooo much better than my 19" black and white crt" just doesnt help me much

[17:57:33] Ryushin: Something like a 1:100,000 contrast ratio.
[17:57:56] Ryushin: The first generation consumed a lot of heat to drive all the white leds.
[17:58:10] venger: produced?
[17:58:13] Ryushin: I was reading early this spring samsung was brining out one for the general masses.
[17:58:52] Ryushin: The company that pioneered the technology made the demos that cost $50K each.
[18:00:10] venger: to be honest, my eyes dont need higher contrast ratios, things already look good. For LCD panels I'd like new tech to offer the same levels with the absense of anomalies such as uniform panel brightess, color shift, or IPS panels having a golden tint to them on dark screens, etc

[19:03:45] fryfrog: ah
[19:03:47] fryfrog: what'd you do to fix?
[19:03:54] Ryushin: I had my TV set for ATSC and I had to change it to NTSC under mythtv-setup, general.

[19:07:54] fryfrog: Ryushin: thanks, that did it
[19:08:01] fryfrog: stuarta: I know ATSC != NTSC
[19:08:01] stuarta: it does depend on what you are trying to *capture* not what your *tv* is
[19:08:18] fryfrog: my backend has 2x DVB (ATSC) cards and 2x PVR500 (NTSC)
[19:08:18] stuarta: fryfrog: not everyone does :)
[19:08:23] fryfrog: ah, true
[19:08:40] fryfrog: aparantly, when set to "ATSC" it sends ATSC to the PVR500 which of course doesn't work
[19:09:01] stuarta: funnily enough no
[19:09:03] fryfrog: i've set to "NTSC" now and those two inputs don't complain, but... what happens when one of the ATSC DVB cards fires up?
[19:09:22] fryfrog: does it get sent an NTSC command and die?
[19:09:41] stuarta: isn't that setup a per card thing?
[19:10:12] Ryushin: fryfrog: My two ATSC cards work fine after changing it to NTSC.
[19:10:18] fryfrog: Ryushin: nice
[19:10:22] fryfrog: stuarta: yes, but it ignored it
[19:10:31] stuarta: hah!
[19:10:33] fryfrog: my PVR500's were set to "us-cable" as was the lineup
[19:11:07] Ryushin: Yea, it was a weird error. I tried all sorts of things to try and fix it. Only by a fluke did I think, what the heck, I'll change it.

[20:41:41] hendrixski: siXy, it's not stable if that's what you're asking. it's not hard... just... It's an adventure
[20:42:23] siXy: there are many degrees of 'not stable' however – I was wondering roughly where in the spectrum it was at the minute
[20:43:28] hendrixski: siXy, atm I think it's functional, has more features than the official release... just it segFaults every now and then
[20:44:04] hendrixski: I don't use it though to be honest, I'm on .20.2 which is the stable release + fixes
[20:44:04] siXy: hendrixski: thats pretty much what I wanted to hear :) thanks
[20:44:17] hendrixski: siXy, give it a spin. you'll be glad you did
[20:45:35] fryfrog: siXy: you might do the svn -fixes branch
[20:45:44] fryfrog: it'd be like 0.20.2 with fixes
[20:45:57] fryfrog: i use svn head myself too, but i just only upgrade every month or so
[20:46:11] fryfrog: when it is stable, i just keep it for a while till i decide i want to see what is new :)
[20:46:17] siXy: fryfrog: thanks I will try that

[22:15:44] siXy: i think theres something on mythtv.org about that
[22:15:57] siXy: personally I use EIT so I dont have that issue
[22:16:50] drgeb: whats EIT ?
[22:17:12] stuarta: program information
[22:17:42] stuarta: and zap2it stopped about a month or so ago...
[22:18:19] drgeb: yep they really stopped on Friday right after I joined on Saturday I got an email back from them saying they stopped
[22:18:38] siXy: drgeb: DVB channels transmit roughly 7 days of EPG data nowadays (well here they do anyway) which isnt a well written as the stuff you can get via XMLTV grabers, but is less prone to issues
[22:19:00] stuarta: those who needed zap2it have no useful EIT data
