[02:24:24] xanderp: i have "alias char-major-61 lirc_atiusb unique=1 debug=1 mask=0x0001" in that lirc file, but when I rebooted the box, the module just loaded without any of those parameters...

[03:12:17] J-e-f-f-A: iamlindoro_: At least I can expense it... it was a trip to our datacenter... ;-)
[03:12:20] iamlindoro_: The only thing worse than paying for parking was going to Gov't Center and trying to get a parking pass
[03:12:43] iamlindoro_: FWIW they make free parking in the city twice as painful as paying for it
[03:15:45] CCFL_Man2: sprouted coconut centers ftw

[03:20:05] xanderp: ours is too (usually)
[03:20:45] xanderp: they are an upper tier provider, everything is redundant out the wazoo, but this was apparently a 'perfect storm' outage
[03:21:47] iamlindoro_: A major charity site in New York I was trying to get to was out for much of the day, too... wonder if it's related
[03:22:15] iamlindoro_: at least, I believe it's hosted somewhere in New York
[03:23:00] xanderp: i called the noc and heard the startrek battlestation siren playing in the background and lots of people talking very fast... it's nice to see someone else have problems for a change!
[03:24:27] xanderp: they dropped several customers... must have been a big piece of gear to kill that much.

[03:32:44] iamlindoro: SA/Moto... heck, even Comcast charged us to support us supporting THEM
[03:32:53] CCFL_Man2: iamlindoro: all i want is more indepth documentation so i don't need support
[03:33:10] CCFL_Man2: fucking cumschat
[03:34:39] CCFL_Man2: and i want firmware updates too :P
[03:34:52] CCFL_Man2: i know i'm asking a lot
[03:34:58] iamlindoro: Well *that* they probably will charge you for
[03:35:30] CCFL_Man2: though i might be able to get it free if i point my dish to hbo's downlink

[03:42:50] CCFL_Man2: most of the time i don't need it, and if i do, the internets gives me better answers

[03:46:04] Technobabble: which winTV version is the best for a new user, the 150?
[03:48:13] iamlindoro: Technobabble: Yes.
[03:48:46] Technobabble: which one is the card with the dual inputs?
[03:48:52] iamlindoro: pvr-500
[03:49:08] Technobabble: do you need 2 boxes for that one?
[03:49:11] iamlindoro: if you are brand new and want an easy-to-setup remote as well, make sure to get the MCE edition of either
[03:49:32] iamlindoro: Technobabble: Assuming you want all your channels available on both of them, yes.
[03:49:55] Technobabble: you actually bring up a good point, this thing is going to run inside a closet.
[03:50:10] Technobabble: does myth have a way to change the TV channel from the frontside?
[03:50:15] Technobabble: frontend, rather
[03:50:43] iamlindoro: sure, it just signals the backend to change channels, and if you're controlling boxes, you use ir blasters
[03:52:01] Technobabble: so the card has an IR blaster that points at the cable box?
[03:52:15] Technobabble: or does it communcate in some other way, or are there multiple options?
[03:52:50] iamlindoro: With analog, basically only one option... IR Blasters. You get one with the MCE edition.
[03:54:28] Technobabble: i have a hauppauge card here that looks like myth doesn't read. it says NTSC 44981 LF rev E1B2
[03:54:45] Technobabble: isn't NTSC the standard for the UK? did i find a UK card?
[03:54:52] iamlindoro: Nope, NTSC is US
[03:54:56] Technobabble: (found it in a box of old computer cards)
[03:55:02] iamlindoro: PAL is Europe, not to mention most of the rest of the world
[03:55:15] Technobabble: so is this one compatable?
[03:55:43] Technobabble: i've been reading about the 150/250/350/500's
[03:55:51] iamlindoro: You need to tell me which card it is first... haven't given me enough to go by
[03:55:52] Technobabble: but this one doesn't appear to be any of that
[03:56:00] iamlindoro: Probably a much older framegrabber card
[03:56:02] Technobabble: hold on, let me go pull it out of the system
[03:56:14] iamlindoro: and myth doesn't support cards directly, it relies on V4L for card support
[03:56:32] iamlindoro: so figure out what card you have and look it up at linuxtv.org in the V4L wiki
[03:57:54] Technobabble: says 2006 on it...
[03:58:33] Technobabble: k, let me see

[03:59:42] iamlindoro: http://www.linuxtv.org/v4lwiki/index.php/Hauppauge_WinTV_Go
[03:59:43] Technobabble: i just typed this whole thing into google and that's the first result i got
[04:00:13] Technobabble: www.linuxtv.org is timing out for me, for some reason
[04:00:14] iamlindoro: It's likely supported, but so old that most modern linux doesn't contain a kernel module for it... you'd need to compile your own kernel, probably
[04:00:34] Technobabble: i'd rather spend the 54 bucks on amazon and pick up the 150
[04:00:41] Technobabble: MCE, right?
[04:00:46] iamlindoro: Well, $54 won't be an MCE w/ remote, probably
[04:01:35] Technobabble: 93 with the remote
[04:01:38] iamlindoro: This is what you want: http://www.amazon.com/Hauppauge-WinTV-PVR-150 . . . 4&sr=8-1
[04:01:47] Technobabble: but i'm not exactly sure if i'm going to use the remote unless it remotes to my frontend
[04:02:08] Technobabble: yup, that's the one.
[04:02:25] iamlindoro: You can use that remote and buy a few serial blasters, they're cheap
[04:02:39] iamlindoro: remote on the frontend, serial IR blasters on the backend
[04:03:04] Technobabble: can you buy the remote seperately?

[04:03:41] Technobabble: is it worth the extra 40ish?
[04:03:58] iamlindoro: It is to me, I wouldn't run myth without a remote, and that's one of the best and easiest to set up.

[04:16:23] Technobabble: amazon has one with remote but not MCE for 75
[04:16:34] iamlindoro: It's a different remote
[04:16:38] iamlindoro: and non-usb
[04:16:45] iamlindoro: so it needs to be attached to the card itself
[04:16:56] iamlindoro: the MCE is USB and can be put anywhere (like your frontend)

[05:30:24] Captain_Murdoch: Yggdr4sil: that is controlled by the scheduler. right now, it sets up pending recordings 30 seconds before they start and that triggers the frontend to popup that box. you could try changing the 30 to 300 in programs/mythbackend/scheduler.cpp, but I can't say for sure 100% that it will work correctly.
[05:30:53] Yggdr4sil: hmm
[05:30:59] Yggdr4sil: manually change the src ?
[05:31:20] Yggdr4sil: its just like, its almost as if myth hates when you want to just watch some dam tv

[05:31:52] Captain_Murdoch: that's that the 'R' is for in PVR/DVR. :)
[05:32:07] Yggdr4sil: haha
[05:32:19] Yggdr4sil: well what do you do if
[05:32:27] Yggdr4sil: its recording and you want to watch tv
[05:32:36] Captain_Murdoch: you buy another tuner
[05:32:39] fryfrog: Yggdr4sil: in a few days or weeks... you won't watch tv anymore
[05:32:44] Captain_Murdoch: or tell it to stop recording.
[05:32:52] Yggdr4sil: how do you tell it that ?
[05:32:53] Captain_Murdoch: only reason I ever watch LiveTV is to test something.
[05:33:01] Yggdr4sil: fryfrog its been months and i still care
[05:33:13] fryfrog: if you fire up "watchtv" and it is recording, doesn't it just ask you if you want to stop?

[05:34:18] CCFL_Man2: what the F?

[05:34:23] CCFL_Man2: No, Windows Vista Media Center does not require analog TV Tuner to receive ATSC TV signal. However, it is a requirement for Windows XP Media Center 2005.
[05:34:32] fryfrog: Yggdr4sil: time to invest in a second tuner then?

[05:37:28] xanderp: more than plenty for us
[05:37:30] fryfrog: xanderp: so 2 of them are HD *or* SD? it can't do both at once, right?

[05:59:03] Tanthrix: Not for $35 though ;)
[05:59:40] xanderp: ? you hook the SC to the NV inside the mobo? or it's done in the mobo?

[06:02:54] Tanthrix: Little cable that runs from the video card to the internal SPDIF output of your sound card, assuming you have it
[06:03:37] Tanthrix: Not really worth the extra money for an HDMI card though – it's double the price. Much cheaper to just geta hdmi>dvi adapter cable, then run the audio straight out from the sound card.
[06:04:00] Tanthrix: Only problem is that most TVs can't take a separate digital input from the hdmi, usually only analog RCA, so you're limited to that or piping the digital to your reciever

[12:28:36] at0m|c: hi, does mythtv require a video source per tuner card? just added a second pvr-x50, not sure how to go about..
[12:30:16] justinh: you can bind more than one tuner to a 'video source' (or sanely, source of EPG data). so long as all the tuners bound to one such thing have access to the same channels etc...
[12:30:41] at0m|c: yes, they receive same analog cable. the backend now has a pvr150 and a pvr350...

[16:43:24] directhex|bsp: Dagmar, i heard the semi-plausible explanation that the reason for such bizzaro hardware design on the 500 cards is the windows BDA driver infrastructure specifically disallows >1 tuner on 1 pci id
[16:43:56] opentrinity: it is possible solve the problem with xmodmap?
[16:44:01] Dagmar: I was under the impression it was just easier to stick a PCI bridge on it because it lets them simply stick two sets of the components of a PVR-150 on one card.
[16:45:42] sphery: opentrinity: TTBOMK, if you're using the linux input layer (and your remote does), LIRC should be using the remote button presses and the keyboard driver shouldn't see them.
[16:46:16] sphery: If that's not the case, you need to find some way to prevent the keyboard module from using them.
[16:46:22] directhex|bsp: Dagmar, and the nova-t 500?

[17:48:10] Dagmar: It's definitely less hassle than dealing with a store.
[17:48:26] iamlindoro_: I presume you want hardware encoding on the analog side as well?

[17:48:37] Dagmar: ...and you can't trust the crap that's written on boxes to tell you anything useful or honest.
[17:49:09] iamlindoro_: HVR-1600 and 1800 have experimental drivers, but one or both of those may only have analog or digital support yet... I don't remember.
[17:49:45] iamlindoro_: If you want well supported digital, get a HDHomerun, a Kworld 110 or 115, an Avermedia A180, or a pcHDTV HD 5500
[17:49:46] plb_: ya I tried building the beta drivers but it didn't work so well
[17:49:58] iamlindoro_: For analog, get a PVR-x50 or 500
[17:50:25] iamlindoro_: So either buy two cards or wait around for the dual-mode card drivers to mature.

[19:00:18] mkrufky: ...but there is no tda8290
[19:00:29] mkrufky: the tda8290 on YOUR board is spliced into the saa7131
[19:00:41] justinh: mkrufky: so it's not card=109 then?
[19:00:49] mkrufky: justinh: you're trying linuxtv.org hg to test?
[19:00:58] mkrufky: oh, you're passing insmod options?
[19:01:04] arod: all I've done is set tvstandard as pal-b, vertrefresh as 50 and tvoutformat as composite
[19:01:10] justinh: mkrufky: just a stock ubuntu kernel for the time being 2.6.22
[19:01:15] CCFL_Man2: this avermedia A180 seems to work good in winders
[19:01:23] justinh: mkrufky: gonna give hg a spin now. building it :)
[19:01:25] arod: should I install nvtv?
[19:01:39] mkrufky: CCFL_Man2: i couldnt get it to work in windows _at_all_ , but the linux driver works ....
[19:02:00] mkrufky: justinh: make sure you dont pass module options — let it try to autodetect
[19:02:12] justinh: mkrufky: doesn't work if I don't autodetect
[19:02:22] CCFL_Man2: mkrufky: it seems to have a good tuner, nice and sensitive
[19:02:23] justinh: mkrufky: er.. I mean if I don't pass the card type
[19:02:39] mkrufky: justinh: doesnt work if you DO pass it, apparantly either
[19:02:53] mkrufky: justinh: if it doesnt work with hg, you'll have to add support for it
[19:02:55] justinh: mkrufky: sounds like hg is the way to go then. if the stock module isn't autodetectiming-ifying
[19:03:03] mkrufky: exactly
[19:03:22] justinh: mkrufky: oh yeah I always wanted to spend many nights slaving over a hot PC writing driver code
[19:03:25] justinh: :D
[19:04:11] justinh: .. and all because the linuxtv wiki supported tuner list is either not very up to date, or my local stockists just don't have anything on the list
[19:05:19] justinh: mkrufky: how up to date is the linuxtv wiki when it comes to the list of working tuners? I realise it might not be very up to date – I mean I bet you hardly ever hear from people whose kit just works out of the box :P

[19:30:35] Andycasss: I can just see other peoples pc names and my router alias
[19:31:14] GreyFoxx: Andycasss: It has one, but I dunno if vista will see it if you are running 0.20.2
[19:31:26] GreyFoxx: It will see it with svn trunk however and the soon to be 0.21
[19:31:27] Andycasss: i did use to see it under vista
[19:31:44] Andycasss: i have the svn version (not the latest tho)
[19:31:57] GreyFoxx: at one point a change was made that removed a flag windows look for before recognizing the device

[19:33:34] Andycasss: Never tried to do it, but i was warned not to, or else it might screw up my install
[19:33:42] Andycasss: ah
[19:34:02] GreyFoxx: But that's just gonna make Vista see it, it wont give you great access to the content
[19:34:11] GreyFoxx: WMP sucks as a upnp client
[19:34:24] Andycasss: what about vlc/winamp?
[19:34:48] GreyFoxx: Never used winamp for upnp, nor have I ever seen anyone who had upnp compiled into their version of vlc
[19:35:03] GreyFoxx: so I can't say how well those would work
[19:35:37] GreyFoxx: I'll give the winamp upnp plugin a shot this weekend
[19:35:51] GreyFoxx: did you have to install a special plugin for vlc ?
[19:36:18] portahex: GreyFoxx, vista will see and play 0.20.2 content
[19:36:46] GreyFoxx: portahex: WMP will see the server, and play content, but the player is very very well...crappy
[19:37:02] portahex: yes
[19:37:04] GreyFoxx: no folders, limited abbility to navigate to other root objects
[19:37:27] GreyFoxx: But I don't think windows will "see" the device in network neighbourhood and such

[20:42:12] roothorick: well, whether or not they're willing to provide the technical documents we need is more of a legal question
[20:42:27] roothorick: iamlindoro_: I did google kthx
[20:42:41] iamlindoro_: yes, but one must READ the google results too
[20:42:55] roothorick: iamlindoro_: also, that has nothing to do with what I'm looking into buying
[20:43:00] roothorick: err
[20:43:02] justinh: roothorick: read the text
[20:43:02] iamlindoro_: ie, that one was about four results down... I see how you might have gotten distracted by a shiny object or something before you got there
[20:43:02] roothorick: justinh:
[20:43:45] iamlindoro_: it has nothing to do with what you asked? You mean like when it says "I have bought the Thermaltake Mozart working under Linux (Ubuntu 6.05) and mythtv"
[20:43:51] justinh: roothorick: in the linky iamlindoro_ just posted up here, it's mentioned that the VFD & remote are clones of imon stuff

[21:29:41] ** cafuego just moves an ugly beige case to behind the tv and stuck a tuner withr emote card in there **
[21:30:31] roothorick: think a 1.4Ghz Tbird is good enough for recording analog or digital SD while watching a DVD?
[21:30:46] fryfrog: roothorick: i'd wager yes

[21:31:25] cafuego: My 1.8GHz amd64 manages 2 digital hd streams whilst watching a third.
[21:31:30] fryfrog: roothorick: Instead of investing in all of this, why don't you just get a TV card first and try it out
[21:31:40] fryfrog: if you like it, *then* invest in a nice case, big HD, etc, etc
[21:32:14] roothorick: fryfrog: not a bad idea. Name a cheap frame grabber that Linux likes.
[21:32:15] fryfrog: i'd strongly recommend that, mythtv can be hard to setup
[21:32:23] cafuego: roothorick: I think it's pretty hard to find mobos without S/PDIF these days
[21:32:30] roothorick: cafuego: I'm not buying a new mobo
[21:32:33] fryfrog: roothorick: any bttv based card will work, but a PVR150 should be findable for $40–50
[21:32:37] roothorick: Tbird mobos are hard to find
[21:32:38] cafuego: roothorick: But indeed, do a tv card on its own first.

[21:32:50] roothorick: fryfrog: anything over $40 and it's time to commit

[21:36:38] fryfrog: no, sorry, hard drive
[21:36:41] roothorick: oh
[21:36:45] justinh: mkrufky: I googled on the card id – found all I needed was hg. it's supported after all. so now I guess to reboot, see if it really works, then play with multirec ;)
[21:36:47] roothorick: 80GB just to keep things cheap
[21:36:52] fryfrog: your resolution will depend on what your tv can handle
[21:36:55] fryfrog: how much?
[21:36:59] roothorick: $40 for the drive
[21:37:10] fryfrog: thats like 50 cents / gig?
[21:37:24] roothorick: for IDE drives that's cheap
[21:37:52] fryfrog: a 500G drive for $120 is $0.25 / G
[21:37:59] roothorick: a 500G SATA
[21:38:09] fryfrog: even a 250 or 320G drive would be better value
[21:38:22] fryfrog: is IDE more expensive now?
[21:38:30] cafuego: roothorick: You're looking at 4GB/hour I think. So 80G would give you in the vicinity of 20 hours worth of recording.
[21:38:32] roothorick: generally yes
[21:38:45] fryfrog: 2.2G / hr is more accurate estimate
[21:38:50] roothorick: cafuego: less, because there's going to be crap from the internet on there too
[21:39:05] fryfrog: can you pick one up used for even cheaper?
[21:39:08] cafuego: roothorick: Well, my estimate is bad, so still 20 or so :-)
[21:39:10] justinh: roothorick: oh those creative commons videos. a lot of people like those
[21:39:11] fryfrog: ebay or craigslist or something?
[21:39:24] roothorick: justinh: uh, er, yeah, that's it
[21:39:55] mkrufky: justinh: yay!
[21:40:01] roothorick: oh geez
[21:40:06] roothorick: 500GB WD IDE is $105
[21:40:11] fryfrog: see?
[21:40:12] cafuego: roothorick: Yes.
[21:40:21] cafuego: roothorick: 80GB is a really bad buy
[21:40:25] fryfrog: little more than twice the price... something like 6x the space?
[21:40:47] cafuego: roothorick: And it's not as if a 500GB disk wouldn't work in a theoreticla new HTPC ;-)
[21:41:09] justinh: mkrufky: from the bits I've seen on ubuntu forums maybe there's another variant skulling around out there somewhere. or maybe just some very confuzzled people
[21:41:37] mkrufky: more likely the later
[21:41:44] mkrufky: but anything is possible :-)
[21:42:12] justinh: heheheh
[21:43:31] roothorick: well, if I go with the 500GB things suddenly turn into $400
[21:43:36] roothorick: I can get a good X360 with that
[21:43:46] justinh: wow. just found a ladybird in this room.. 2nd one this year so far. having remembered something on the bbc news website about a rare version I looked it up & it's one of them. obliged to report it & send it off for analysis. weird city
[21:43:56] fryfrog: roothorick: don't buy anything but the pvr150 now
[21:44:05] fryfrog: if you *like* it (you can test just fine with 15G)
[21:44:14] fryfrog: then go further
[21:44:22] roothorick: okay
[21:44:39] bsdfox__: the difference in disk price is like $60
[21:44:49] roothorick: fryfrog: well, on the other hand, I know for a fact that computer is going to be a permanent part of my home theater
[21:44:54] roothorick: because of internet stuff
[21:46:06] cafuego: roothorick: I've found that after getting the tv card, what I need most is disk space. Not a pretty case.
[21:46:20] roothorick: cafuego: because of certain conditions in the house it needs a pretty case
[21:46:25] roothorick: not my call here
[21:46:29] cafuego: WAF eh
[21:46:31] roothorick: also, the case I chose is only like $70
[21:46:40] justinh: mkrufky: I'll edit the wiki while I've got trunk compiling. load of BS on the card's current page IMHO
[21:46:41] roothorick: more like picky mother
[21:47:00] cafuego: roothorick: Mind you, you can always add a HDD later. Just saying, 80G will fill up pretty quickly.
[21:47:23] roothorick: cafuego: yeah, I think I'll go with the 500GB
[21:47:34] roothorick: and while I'm at it, get two, because my desktop's hard drive is feeling cramped
[21:47:55] cafuego: heh
[21:48:06] roothorick: well.... maybe
[21:48:12] roothorick: how would 120GB work out?
[21:48:21] cafuego: ... they'll fill up especially quickly with creative commons videoes.
[21:48:37] cafuego: roothorick: I doubt you can even still buy those
[21:48:43] roothorick: cafuego: I have one
[21:48:46] roothorick: I'm saying, upgrade my desktop
[21:48:49] roothorick: and use the old drive
[21:48:50] cafuego: here it's 80/150/320/400/500/750/1000
[21:48:56] cafuego: s/1/2/
[21:49:24] cafuego: roothorick: 50-odd hours on a 120GB
[21:49:47] roothorick: hmmmmm
[21:50:03] roothorick: you know, my PS2 needs a bigger hard drive... it's not like I don't have places to put all these drives
[21:51:49] mkrufky: justinh: cool (sorry for delays)
[21:56:08] roothorick: my plan now is
[21:56:11] roothorick: cash my paycheck
[21:56:22] roothorick: put half of it away for a purpose that has nothing to do with MythTV
[21:56:32] roothorick: and decide what to do based on how much of it is left
[21:57:53] roothorick: chances are, it'll be just the case for now
[21:58:05] roothorick: and maybe the DVD-ROM

[22:12:54] jawil: I have lirc_serial in my modules.conf, found this during boot messages in dmesg: http://pastebin.com/m63d367a
[22:13:37] justinh: jawil: lines 1–7 are most interesting aren't they? ;)
[22:14:09] fryfrog: devsforev: udev
[22:14:19] iamlindoro_: devsforev, you will need to write udev rules for both devices so that they symlink to something like /dev/video-webcam and /dev/video-pvr
[22:14:24] justinh: jawil: are you using a stock kernel or one you made yourself?
[22:14:29] jawil: I just found a similar problem on a translated german page, I believe their solution was a downgrade to lirc-0.8.1
[22:14:43] jawil: justinh, so how do I know which ttySX to do that to?
[22:14:59] justinh: jawil: which serial port do you want the IR receiver to work on?
[22:15:15] justinh: COM1 = 03f8 usually :)
[22:15:20] jawil: justinh, does it matter? I'm not using any of the serial ports for anything else
[22:15:21] fryfrog: or just a udev rule that always puts the webcam at video1 and pvr at video1
[22:15:28] devsforev: Thanks a bunch; I'm looking up udev information right now
[22:15:39] justinh: so setserial /dev/ttyS0 uart none – before loading lirc_serial :)

[22:34:53] Miranda_: Is it expecting XF86 or Xorg?
[22:35:25] cafuego: Miranda_: yes, the setup is a GUI tool.
[22:35:40] cafuego: Miranda_: The frontend is also a GUI, needs Qt and X.
[22:37:24] Miranda_: hmm, mabye the dependancies list needs to be updated, it didn't install any X..
[22:37:52] Miranda_: xorg is the x server that most people use with mythtv-frontend, correct?
[22:38:02] jawil: justinh, downgraded to lirc-0.8.1 and everything worked fine
[22:38:07] Miranda_: it's been a while, pardon me if that's a stupid question nowadays.
[22:39:03] cafuego: Miranda_: Xorg is the replacenemt for XFree86, afetr they went stupid with their licensing.
[22:39:52] Miranda_: cafuego, okay, I knew they split, just didnt know that XF86 dropped to oblivion

[23:07:14] Miranda_: We should just throw it out and chalk it up to 'standardization'
[23:07:46] Dagmar: An arrangement of non-overlapping rectangular segments representing blocks of time, as a mechanism for illustrating the relationships of multiple varied bodies of work over time.
[23:08:01] AndyCap: Miranda_: well, seems Seregei has gotten the bright idea to patent "not heavy" water
[23:08:03] ** Dagmar ducks. **
[23:08:37] AndyCap: Miranda_: claiming that water with ever so slightly less deuterium in it is good for you.
[23:08:39] Dagmar: If you applied for it as the discovery of uses of dihydrogen monoxide as a cleaning agent you could probably get it
[23:08:54] Miranda_: Dagmar, I belive it's been done
[23:08:55] wireddd (wireddd!n=wired@unaffiliated/wireddd) has joined #mythtv-users
[23:08:56] AndyCap: not to mention that you won't get a hangover.
[23:09:06] AndyCap: Miranda_: nah, they've been trying to ban it.
[23:09:36] Dagmar: Miranda_: What do you think gave me the idea to draft patents on sex, and the crowning achievement, a detailed, 23 page patent on masturbation.
[23:09:36] nordle: MythPlugin::Init() dlerror: /usr/local/lib/mythtv/plugins/liblibmythtream.so.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory Anyone any suggestions as to whats with the liblib so.so madness?
[23:09:36] justinh: AndyCap: but you won't get drunk either – hey there's a research grant in there somewhere... tell people they're drinking really strong tasteless booze... see how many get drunk
[23:09:36] wireddd is now known as wired
[23:09:44] wired is now known as wire
[23:09:46] AndyCap: ZOMG they use dihydrogen monoxide as an industrial solvent. the use it in herbicides, and they put it in childrens foood!
[23:09:50] Dagmar: You would think that I were describing an entire circus in the abstract
[23:10:13] Dagmar: The patent on masturbation was jsut for giggles
[23:10:38] Dagmar: "Have you been spanking your monkey? Gimme $1000 bucks and no one has to know."
[23:10:42] Miranda_: http://www.freepatentsonline.com/4300473.html
[23:10:43] AndyCap: justinh: mixing water with alcohol will get you drunk and and a hangover. :-)
[23:10:58] AndyCap: no matter how little deuterium is in your water.
[23:11:10] Dagmar: Hell, the MPAA are prosecuting suits for copyright infringement in such a way they can actually say no one made any copies and STILL get money so why not
[23:11:17] justinh: http://www.dhmo.org/facts.html – roflmfao again
[23:12:16] AndyCap: penn and teller's bullshit took a ban dhmo petition to a environmentalist rally in one of their episodes
[23:12:40] Dagmar: I remember that
[23:12:46] Dagmar: It was a thing of beauty.
[23:13:30] Miranda_: Does X need to be running before I start mythtv-setup, or will mythtv-setup start X by itself?
[23:13:35] Dagmar: hahah
[23:13:41] Dagmar: WHen has any X app ever started X for you?
[23:13:43] AndyCap: Miranda_: it needs X.
[23:13:54] Miranda_: sorry, I'm a CLI person
[23:14:08] Miranda_: point taken :)
[23:14:13] Dagmar: Woulld you expect a CLI to punt you back to VGA mode 1?
[23:14:15] Dagmar: Heh
[23:14:16] AndyCap: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1-qu_0KlMvw about 8 minutes out
[23:14:56] mindframe- (mindframe-!n=mindfram@194.15.232.72.static.reverse.ltdomains.com) has quit ("Leaving")
[23:15:05] AndyCap: penn and teller are evil. :-)
[23:15:13] Dagmar: No they're not.
[23:15:18] Dagmar: They're scientists.
[23:15:31] Dagmar: ...and great showmen.  :)
[23:15:52] AndyCap: well, not all of their experiments are scientific. but yeah. they're fairly rational and I love them
[23:16:23] AndyCap: their guests do get enough rope to hang themselves
[23:16:28] Dagmar: When someone makes a really stupid argument, it begs being paralleled
[23:16:30] Miranda_: I love social experiments
[23:16:31] nordle: Can anyone tell me why mythtv is trying to load liblibmythstream.so.so and not libmythstream.so?
[23:16:41] Dagmar: nordie: because it's a plugin you may or may not have
[23:16:57] nordle: liblibmythstream.so.so does not exist, so why or how is it thinking it does exist?
[23:17:55] nordle: I could probably symlink liblibmythstream.so.so to libmythstream.so, but I'd like to understand whats calling it, where this reference is stored.
[23:18:22] Dagmar: Or, perhaps, you could find the person who compiled that and beat them with a stick
[23:18:26] justinh: nordle: installing to the wrong prefix, or something. I think the libliblibliblib bit is a typo in the source
[23:18:58] justinh: cba to report it as a bug cos it's funny
[23:19:05] Dagmar: Something went very wrong if that particular soname got compiled into a binary
[23:19:10] nordle: Dagmar: I'd have to beat myself over the head as I compiled it. I'll doulbe check the .pro and see if there is a hint there.
[23:19:14] Dagmar: hehe
[23:19:53] iamlindoro_: That's libmythstream as pronounced by max headroom
[23:20:06] justinh: nordle: running trunk? changes in config files etc because of the windows port (Ssssssssssssssssssssssssssss!) often mean needing to configure again after a make distclean
[23:20:22] justinh: and other stuff..

[23:20:42] Dagmar: Naughty naughyt unclean builds. Unclean!
[23:21:41] nordle: 0.20.2 I've just compiled mythstream from scratch, and checked the settings.pro and mythstream.pro, and there is nothing weird, all looks ok.
[23:22:03] justinh: did you check the prefix?
[23:22:04] Dagmar: You didn't happen to say, do a | tee logfile.txt 2>&1 did you
[23:22:16] Dagmar: So you could, you know, search the build output for signs of insanity
[23:22:22] justinh: /usr/ vs /usr/local
[23:23:53] nordle: http://pastebin.ca/872744 looks ok...

[23:29:19] Dagmar: I may have the arguments somewhat out of order, because bash syntax is a bit f**ked, but that's hte idea
[23:29:36] Dagmar: One of the most useful things about the build harness I use is that it logs pretty much everything
[23:30:01] Dagmar: I can not tell you how many times a compile failure or mistake has been something I could *grep* for
[23:30:10] Dagmar: ...and usually expect to find the issue
[23:30:26] nordle: I'll give it try now, thanks.

[23:36:40] nordle: I think its quite activeish, so I'm still thinking its something wrong with my environment, otherwise I would have thought someone else would have mentioned it. But I did/do not know how myth loads the plugins, so I could not check what it was trying to do, or what was telling it to try this. But this make check might be useful.
[23:38:13] iamlindoro_: IIRC everything calling it is in the theme.xml files... perhaps the implementation has changed since last time you compiled
