[00:00:13] justinh: how many aharrrs is that?
[00:00:38] directhex: justinh, it's not leasehold. very very long story
[00:01:04] justinh: well that's good anyway. one less thing to pay
[00:03:57] directhex: except freehold means paying buildings insurance
[00:04:17] justinh: and you don't with leasehold?
[00:04:47] justinh: so if your house burns down when it's on leasehold land the landowner pays for the rebuild?
[00:05:58] directhex: yes
[00:06:01] directhex: that's the norm
[00:06:09] Dorward (Dorward!n=Dorward@91.84.53.6) has joined #mythtv-users
[00:06:40] justinh: wow. didn't know that
[00:07:07] directhex: well it's not "your house" if it's leasehold. so you can't insure it
[00:07:56] EnderTheThird: Any of you guys using Cyberai's plugin for movie trailers?
[00:08:14] justinh: EnderTheThird: it's not a plugin
[00:09:01] EnderTheThird: err, you know what i mean. i'm trying it out now, and i'm wondering how many freaking trailers this thing downloads. holy crap.
[00:09:16] justinh: loads
[00:09:17] directhex: EnderTheThird, about 1100
[00:09:28] EnderTheThird: directhex: sarcasm... i hope
[00:09:30] justinh: best not to bother with it IMHO
[00:09:32] directhex: assuming parity with the xbmc plugin
[00:09:44] justinh: he's not making it up. it sounds about right
[00:09:46] directhex: s/plugin/script/blahblahblah
[00:10:03] EnderTheThird: i'm gonna run out of HDD space pretty damned quick with 1080p stuff being downloaded. crap.

[00:31:15] justinh: EnderTheThird: only the one I'd have a go at writing if I was interested in watching trailers
[00:32:11] justinh: on my 'todo' list is trying to make a plugin that plays stuff, just for the hell of it
[00:32:27] justinh: but til then I have other things to get on with
[00:33:44] justinh: AFAIK nobody has yet acheived the ideal – which'd be to start playing the media as soon as there's enough buffer. everything else I've seen downloads the whole thing first
[00:34:58] justinh: you don't have to wait when you use quacktime...

[00:37:43] directhex: it's not enormously difficult. download for 5 seconds, work out bitrate, total file size, and download rate. do 2 lines of bad maths, start playing after X seconds of downloading
[00:37:57] justinh: should be simple enough in theory. start downloading the file. wait til there's a given amount of file, play the file. if you're near the end of the stream, pause...
[00:38:25] justinh: almost snap!
[00:38:40] directhex: 'given amount' is risky. hence working out download rate versus playback rate

[00:38:54] justinh: good plan
[00:39:09] directhex: i am so smrt!
[00:39:24] justinh: how hard can it be to use myth's internal player? it's not like there aren't any examples of it knocking around...

[00:40:41] directhex: aren't apple trailers mp4?
[00:40:48] justinh: aye
[00:41:21] directhex: Internal probably isn't gonno go far then
[00:41:33] justinh: plugins which use external player code won't be welcomed with open arms I suspect
[00:42:23] justinh: calling external players is one thing – reinventing the wheel & having its own player is what got mythstream its unofficial status IIRC
[00:43:26] arschjucken (arschjucken!n=arschjuc@e179071224.adsl.alicedsl.de) has joined #mythtv-users
[00:43:48] justinh: but – the internal player isn't gonna suck at mp4 forever
[00:43:59] justinh: well, one can hope anyway ;)
[00:44:37] justinh: directhex: what was it doing for you btw?
[00:44:58] directhex: justinh, throwing odd buffer messages.let me try my frontend log
[00:45:30] directhex: " NVP: Prebuffer wait timed out 10 times"
[00:45:49] justinh: my epia's favourite line!
[00:46:08] directhex: it never actually starts playback
[00:46:27] Hannibal- (Hannibal-!i=Hannibal@is.a.certified.eqhacker.com) has joined #mythtv-users
[00:46:28] directhex: something about the file isn't getting demuxed & parsed
[00:46:39] justinh: possibly aye
[00:47:07] directhex: mplayer is happy though
[00:47:13] directhex: and ffplay, before you ask
[00:47:50] justinh: yeh remember you saying. and ffmpeg is quite old you reckon. but then – is it still older than the last myth sync to ffmpeg? ;)
[00:47:59] justinh: presumably it is
[00:48:29] directhex: svn from 20070307
[00:48:43] justinh: were the files HD or something?
[00:48:46] directhex: no
[00:48:50] justinh: eep
[00:49:10] directhex: 640x360
[00:49:10] justinh: and even if you didn't have aac support it should still give you working video

[00:57:17] Hannibal-: my only issue is the channel scanner; it hates me – constant segfaults =\
[00:57:43] Tanthrix: Hannibal-: It's pretty buggy. What card are you using?
[00:57:54] Hannibal-: tuner or video?
[00:57:57] Tanthrix: Tuner.
[00:58:13] Hannibal-: well, i have an Air2PC / AirStar first generation card

[00:58:56] Hannibal-: other than scans it's fine
[00:58:59] Tanthrix: Upgrading to the latest trunk seemed to fix it more or less.
[00:59:09] Hannibal-: you can scan with the most recent trunk?
[00:59:20] Hannibal-: i seem to only be able to scan with 0.20-fixes.
[00:59:31] Hannibal-: (not 0.21-fixes, or trunk as of a week or so ago)

[01:02:59] Tanthrix: justinh: I'm fed up with Arch Linux (due to some recent developments) and switching I think. Just wanted to know if you were happy overall, and also if there was any particular reason you went with reguler ubuntu over mythbuntu?
[01:03:21] justinh: mythbuntu wasn't around
[01:03:34] MavT: greetings
[01:03:42] justinh: and my dapper box has suited my needs just fine on my backend
[01:03:57] justinh: the new frontend is mythbuntu but FWIW it could be any-buntu
[01:04:16] Tanthrix: Aye, seems like it's not that important of an issue.
[01:04:20] justinh: went diskless & build mythtv myself
[01:05:02] MavT: building myth trunk from scratch is quite straightforward on *ubuntu

[01:09:59] justinh: just play the effing film
[01:10:06] directhex: i like dvd menu navigation, as long as i can skip "operation not allowed" trailers
[01:10:21] EnderTheThird: menus are great until you realize that you don't give a damn about them and you just want to skip all the BS and watch the movie
[01:10:29] justinh: some dvd authors should be taken out & shot though
[01:10:43] EnderTheThird: i hate that operation not allowed crap
[01:10:59] justinh: never a problem in software dvd players though
[01:11:13] justinh: well not OSS players ;)
[01:11:22] MavT: :p
[01:12:29] EnderTheThird: i haven't had much luck with dvd on svn lately, but one thing i do like about dvd is the simplicity of a standalone player

[01:39:29] justinh: favourite episode, 'the one where Ross goes "muhhhhhhhhhhh"'
[01:39:32] directhex: justinh, i still haven't done a double-take as much as when i heard the powerpuff girls discussing bollocks on cartoon network

[01:39:59] MavT: hahah
[01:40:25] rushfan: crap I remember them powerpuff girls
[01:40:30] justinh: directhex: fave baddie? dunno why but I'd have to say 'Him'
[01:40:38] rushfan: they're from like 10 years ago, arent they?
[01:40:41] directhex: the girls are arguing over the gender of a squirrel. the parting (winning) argument for it being a girl is because squirrels *eat* nuts. emphasis theirs
[01:40:44] justinh: rushfan: probably
[01:40:59] MavT: what's a good starting point for external DVD player ?
[01:41:07] directhex: justinh, being named "jo", how many options do i have? though 'him' is probably the most disconcerting
[01:41:11] MavT: I might have to have a play this afternoon
[01:41:40] justinh: rushfan: cartoons have lost their oomph recently, what little I've seen of them. where's the new generation Cow & Chicken?

[01:42:16] rushfan: I grew up watching MTV and the News
[01:42:18] rushfan: I was an odd child
[01:42:28] justinh: Cow & Chicken – like a latter day Ren & Stimpy
[01:42:30] directhex: justinh, i still need a Samurai Jack box set. that shit's beautifully drawn
[01:42:58] justinh: god, ren & stimpy.. whatever happened to them I wonder?
[01:43:04] rushfan: yeah
[01:43:09] rushfan: and that one australian animal thing
[01:43:12] rushfan: Rocco's Modern Life
[01:43:19] directhex: justinh, legal wrangling, and fights with nickelodeon. see also: invader zim
[01:43:28] justinh: aha yeah
[01:43:36] justdave: they redid powerpuff girls as an anime recently. girls are middle-schoolers instead of kindergarteners. it's more kid-friendly than the original, too
[01:43:40] justinh: hell I miss the Cartoon Network
[01:43:47] rushfan: Isnt it still around?
[01:43:56] directhex: justinh, nick have a horrible habit of signing up cartoons that kids don't really get but stoned adults go mad for. they absolutely fucking hate it when that happens
[01:43:57] rushfan: I watch Futurama on their adult swim thing
[01:44:01] justinh: used to be FTA on analogue satellite back in the day
[01:44:05] directhex: CN is going from strength to strength
[01:44:24] directhex: justdave, i refuse to acknowledge that show exists
[01:44:34] justinh: whole Sundays would vanish in a Dexter's Lab marathon
[01:44:38] justdave: heh
[01:45:15] directhex: i generally love mccracken & tartarovsky's bold snimation style
[01:45:40] directhex: dexter's lab, powerpuff girls, etc. i love the flat shading
[01:45:51] directhex: it's pretty iconic
[01:45:54] justinh: yeah I'm fond of all the pastiches they do too
[01:46:07] justinh: even the titles are all different

[02:00:02] a1fa: justdave: this is kind of like the thing xbox xbmc has
[02:00:20] DustyBin: "The 'TV out' on most graphics cards produces a less than acceptable picture and has 'hardware locked' resolutions/refresh rates. Using the VGA (RGB) out allows you to have total control."
[02:00:24] ** justinh whistles quietly **
[02:00:40] DustyBin: "This method will achieve, by far, the best result when outputting to a SD TV. The picture quality will be equal or better than that of a digibox and motion problems (unsmooth news tickers & camera 'pans') linked with resolution and refresh rates can be fine tuned with modelines. You will need to have an RGB capable SCART input on your TV."
[02:00:41] justinh: DustyBin: I suggested it earlier but have never tried it
[02:01:02] justinh: DustyBin: assuming interlaced modes work in the VGA driver then yeah

[02:21:00] justinh: DustyBin: the pixels aren't square
[02:21:18] DustyBin: no there not
[02:21:21] justinh: no need to run X in a 16:9 res
[02:21:38] justinh: I run at 720x576 & hack DISPLAYSIZE
[02:21:48] DustyBin: so 768x576 PAL is actually a wide screen resolution

[03:40:30] adante: that said ottomh i think 1080p requires a pretty beefy c2d at least
[03:41:12] iamlindoro_: The short short answer is that it depends on what type of 1080p you're playing... downloaded stuff will play with multithreaded mplayer on most C2Ds... real Blu-ray rips straight off the disk are going to take a C2D 2.2 Ghz or better
[03:42:31] iamlindoro_: and even with, say, an E4500 2.2 Ghz, to play Blu-ray bitrate 1080p, you're going to need to use mplayer with threads=2 and skiploopfilter, and then it will *juuuuust* barely play
[03:43:14] Coded1: any experience with the ps3?
[03:43:51] iamlindoro_: theoretically you could compile myth for PS3 Linux, but I wouldn't mess with that, performance is bound to be poor, and you'd be limited to USB capture devices
[03:44:14] iamlindoro_: I have sincere doubts about managing 1080 playback from it at any point in the near future
[03:45:12] Tanthrix: iamlindoro: What distro do you use? I've come to agree with you that Arch is a pain in the ass (though, perhaps for different reasons) so I'm looking to switch, likely to Mythbuntu. Any opinions?
[03:45:54] iamlindoro_: Tanthrix: truly, my gripes against arch are largely just my teasing the arch zealots :)
[03:46:25] Tanthrix: iamlindoro: I've just come to realize that the whole bleeding edge thing is awful. The way Arch is setup you're basically forced to upgrade if you want to use pacman.
[03:46:31] iamlindoro_: Tanthrix: But I do use Ubuntu and have been happy with it, and I expect (although not speaking from experience) that Mythbuntu is probably really nice
[03:47:07] Tanthrix: iamlindoro: I needed to install apache, and it required an upgrade of glibc, which basically broke everything.
[03:47:25] iamlindoro_: Gutsy itself was a super-snap to set myth up, and Mythbuntu I would expect to be even simpler
[03:47:46] iamlindoro_: my love of debian distros is predicated largely on one thing: apt-get build-dep
[03:48:13] iamlindoro_: It's hard to beat the simplicity of letting it chase down the deps for you
[03:49:05] iamlindoro_: Tanthrix: I imagine you'd be satisfied... worst comes to worst, if you feel Ubuntu is too haevy, you can let it take care of setting all the hardware up for you and start stripping out the sup[erfluous
[03:49:09] iamlindoro_: er heavy
[03:50:04] iamlindoro_: Anyway, I'm going to go play me some X-box... sorry to comment and run :)
[03:50:19] Tanthrix: iamlindoro: No prob. Thanks for the input. I'm buring mythbuntu was we speak. ;)
[03:50:56] iamlindoro_: let me know what you think in the end... have thought of rebuilding my folk's mythbox with mythbuntu at some point

[05:25:54] rpr69: you are getting the error after restarting mysql?
[05:26:12] jedix: I got that error after I restarted mysql and then re-ran the dump
[05:26:45] jedix: when I run the recover thingy, it sits there and top doesn't show it working on anything
[05:27:12] jedix: should I try again?
[05:27:30] rpr69: I've not seen that. Another repair probably won't work, but it shouldn't hurt to try

[05:27:57] jedix: it got further
[05:28:03] jedix: mythconverg.profilegroups
[05:28:03] jedix: warning  : Number of rows changed from 0 to 13
[05:28:03] jedix: status  : OK
[05:28:17] jedix: it says this now: mysqldump: Couldn't execute 'show fields from `profilegroups`': Got error 28 from storage engine (1030)
[05:28:18] rpr69: yup, mine has 13 as well
[05:28:28] jedix: the dump command
[05:28:46] jedix: it's back to not doing anything.
[05:28:52] rpr69: do you have a backup of the database?
[05:28:57] jedix: the repair is sitting there
[05:28:58] jedix: no :/
[05:29:13] rpr69: are you using isam tables?
[05:29:43] jedix: I don't know.. I would assume.. considering they are default in mysql
[05:29:57] rpr69: most likely, just checking.
[05:30:27] jedix: what does it check after profilegroup?
[05:30:45] jedix: because it just sits there..

[05:31:23] rpr69: program should be next, which would likely be fairly large.
[05:31:48] rpr69: large in relative terms of course, mine is about 35,000 records.
[05:32:01] jedix: shouldn't it at least say program
[05:32:10] jedix: no OK.. but tell me it's checking it?

[05:32:48] rpr69: and did you get an OK on profilegroups?
[05:33:02] jedix: no, and yes respectively :/
[05:33:06] rpr69: oh, yes, I saw above.
[05:34:02] rpr69: you could try myisamchk on the file.
[05:34:11] rpr69: myisamchk -r profilegroups
[05:34:15] rpr69: myisamchk -r program
[05:34:32] rpr69: you need to be in the database directory when you run that.
[05:34:53] jedix: I assume I should stop mysql for that as well?
[05:35:33] rpr69: you don't have to, at least from what the documentation says.
[05:36:17] rpr69: sorry: myisamchk -r -q program
[05:36:21] rpr69: note the -r
[05:36:27] rpr69: note the -q I mean
[05:36:31] jedix: epp
[05:36:38] jedix: I'm running it with the -r
[05:36:42] jedix: no -q
[05:36:44] jedix: what's -q?
[05:36:57] jedix: should I kill it?
[05:37:17] jedix: ah, it finished
[05:37:20] rpr69: quick mode, but I would let it go, since if quick mode didn't work, the next step would be without the -q anyway
[05:37:29] jedix: Data records: 612787
[05:37:51] rpr69: wow, that's a lot of records...
[05:38:01] jedix: yeah?
[05:38:09] rpr69: try running mysqlcheck again
[05:38:15] jedix: yeah, trying..
[05:38:21] jedix: no go.
[05:38:24] rpr69: well, I have 35,000 records, you have 20 times that.
[05:38:38] jedix: mythconverg.profilegroups OK
[05:38:40] jedix: then nothing

[05:39:10] rpr69: maybe you aren't waiting long enough?
[05:39:36] jedix: mysql goes to 99% cpu usage then stops using cpu..
[05:41:15] rpr69: program is just your listings, a mythfilldatabase should rebuild it, if the table got trashed. the problem is I get the feeling that there are going to be more tables that are problematic....

[05:41:37] jedix: I tend to agree..
[05:41:52] jedix: should probably clean out program anyways..
[05:41:54] jedix: considering
[05:42:08] jedix: how do I do that?
[05:42:31] jedix: considering I have 610K records
[05:42:44] jedix: 612
[05:42:49] rpr69: well, you could just drop the table and recreate it empty.
[05:43:03] jedix: I see..
[05:43:07] rpr69: but the bigger problem is that record, recorded and settings are all coming up...
[05:43:23] rpr69: and that's where all the good stuff is.
[05:43:32] jedix: mysqldump: Got error: 144: Table './mythconverg/program' is marked as crashed and last (automatic?) repair failed when doing LOCK TABLES
[05:43:36] clever: truncate table program; would empty it
[05:43:48] rpr69: yes truncate would empty it.
[05:43:48] jedix: record dumps
[05:43:48] clever: but truncate i dont think works on crashed tables
[05:43:55] Mixx (Mixx!i=zxcv@d60-65-201-134.col.wideopenwest.com) has joined #mythtv-users
[05:44:00] clever: or im thinking of delete from program;
[05:44:00] rpr69: drop table would probably work.
[05:44:13] rpr69: but it's not something you want to do lightly.
[05:44:14] clever: theres a repair method which drops and recreates
[05:44:18] clever: so you dont loose the layout
[05:44:24] jedix: what's that?
[05:44:32] clever: i forget
[05:44:33] rpr69: you could try: 3.
[05:44:35] rpr69: If the preceding step fails, use myisamchk --safe-recover tbl_name. Safe recovery mode uses an old recovery method that handles a few cases that regular recovery mode does not (but is slower).
[05:44:41] clever: but ive done it a hackish way before
[05:44:43] clever: drop
[05:44:51] clever: after saving the .frm
[05:44:55] clever: recreate
[05:44:57] rpr69: not sure.
[05:44:59] clever: put the frm back
[05:45:13] jedix: hehe
[05:45:15] clever: but that can cause its own hackish problems
[05:45:29] jedix: I'd rather drop from program
[05:45:33] rpr69: how did you get to this point, server crash?
[05:45:44] jedix: hdd filled up, it seems
[05:45:56] jedix: but since I recovered the tables, there's an extra 11gb free..
[05:46:05] rpr69: odd...
[05:46:08] jedix: very.
[05:46:14] clever: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/repair-table.html
[05:46:25] jedix: I have myth setup to reserve so much space for the os.. which didn't happe
[05:46:48] jedix: but I can dump the record recorded and settings tables :)
[05:47:34] rpr69: okay, that's good. The repair table command is the same as myisamchk.
[05:47:53] jedix: k, I'm running the safe-recover version now
[05:47:56] rpr69: but you can try it anyway, can't hurt.
[05:48:06] jedix: yeah
[05:48:12] jedix: strange..
[05:48:19] jedix: saferecover says Data: 0
[05:48:28] jedix: Data records: 0
[05:48:33] jedix: it's counting up though
[05:48:45] jedix: pretty slowly
[05:48:46] rpr69: it does say that it's slow in the docs.
[05:48:58] rpr69: For future reference: http://imysql.cn/docs/MySQL_51_en/ch05s10.html#check
[05:49:06] rpr69: should apply to 4 as well.
[05:49:08] jedix: 177000
[05:49:36] jedix: let's see.. we're... 2/6 there..
[05:49:41] rpr69: Actually, that link is probably not the best, now that I look at it...
[05:49:49] jedix: hehe
[05:50:09] jedix: what are these: /var/backups/mythconverg.sql.gz.1
[05:50:41] jedix: can't be a full backup.. they are ~20mb
[05:51:09] jedix: oh, they are old too
[05:51:25] jedix: should get that working again after this
[05:51:26] rpr69: the dumps compress a lot...
[05:51:33] rpr69: and yes, working backups are good.
[05:51:51] jedix: indeed
[05:51:53] rpr69: I have a daily cron that emails gzipped dump files to my gmail account.
[05:51:56] jedix: how often?

[05:52:14] jedix: hehe, gmail only allows 20mb.. damn
[05:52:32] jedix: should probably clean out programs
[05:52:33] rpr69: I wrote a script to split the file into 15MB chunks before emailing.
[05:52:43] jedix: ah, cool
[05:52:50] clever: havent heard of the split program!
[05:52:59] clever: split does exactly what you wanted:P
[05:53:06] rpr69: surprisingly, it's called split.
[05:53:07] clever: breaks a file into chunks of a chosen size
[05:53:24] clever: Output fixed-size pieces of INPUT to PREFIXaa, PREFIXab, ...; default size is 1000 lines, and default PREFIX is ‘x’. With no INPUT, or when
[05:53:27] jedix: that's crazy talk.. just use rar.... :P
[05:53:32] clever: from the man page for this split program
[05:53:42] rpr69: sorry, what I meant was my script uses split to split the files, and email them out in separate emails.
[05:53:51] clever: winzip can make multi file zip's but only to floppy, last i ever used it
[05:53:59] clever: ahh
[05:54:11] jedix: I expected as much
[05:54:16] clever: i need to fix my smtp server
[05:54:27] rpr69: and do the dump, and copy the dump to my local nas, etc.
[05:54:32] jedix: I need to setup an mx
[05:54:39] clever: i have a MX record
[05:54:45] clever: but i disabled relaying on the system
[05:54:49] jedix: or just email it via gmail pop..
[05:54:53] clever: so i couldnt be used to spam
[05:54:55] rpr69: so I have at least 30 days of offsite dumps, and multiple local copies.
[05:55:12] clever: but that broke relaying for local systems
[05:55:12] jedix: that's neat.
[05:55:17] jedix: wbn to do that with data such as digital images..
[05:55:18] clever: so now localhost cant email thru localhost
[05:55:30] jedix: I've been thinking of getting a fire safe for this reason
[05:56:09] rpr69: is the repair of program still going?
[05:56:14] jedix: yeah
[05:56:18] jedix: 499000
[05:56:45] rpr69: if record recorded and settings were ok, you should be in fairly good shape.
[05:56:49] jedix: why is my program table so damn big?
[05:56:59] rpr69: dunno. are you using eit?
[05:57:00] jedix: yeah, they dumped no problem
[05:57:05] jedix: trying to.. yeah
[05:57:13] jedix: but it's only a few hours not days..
[05:57:37] jedix: I have seen traffic for the 9 day eit or whatever
[05:57:49] rpr69: you might want to check the date on the records, if they are really old then the housekeeping thread isn't doing it's job.
[05:57:51] jedix: I also have an account with the zap2it replacement thingy
[05:58:48] rpr69: as I said, I have about 35,000 records, that cover about 40 or so channels, all using schedulesdirect data.
[05:58:48] jedix: this last 50k is taking a while
[05:59:11] rpr69: with 12 days of listings.
[06:00:03] rpr69: make that 53 channels.
[06:00:32] rpr69: with the number of records you have, you must have about 1000 channels setup... :)
[06:01:40] jedix: okay, recovered
[06:01:43] GreyFoxx: jedix: Are you running mythfilldatabase at all ?
[06:02:25] jedix: GreyFoxx: yes
[06:02:46] GreyFoxx: ok, normally that would clear out program listings older than a week or 2
[06:03:46] rpr69: I forgot, mythfilldatabase used to do that, I believe in SVN it's a thread in mythbackend.

[15:11:39] Dagmar: orkid_: Just BOOT an Ubuntu CD.

[15:11:54] Dagmar: For problems with XP's filesharing, please see ##Windows
[15:12:11] orkid_: i guess so. but it'd be nice not to have to )someone else wants to use the computer). hm. i might move the HD to the mythbuntu computer and share it fro mthere (it's an external)
[15:12:33] Dagmar: If they need to browse the web or whatever, Ubuntu is a live CD, man.
[15:12:35] orkid_: well , the thing is there is no prob sharing / straeming windows to windows, so i thought it might be interoperab ility with xp and linux
[15:12:39] Dagmar: It runs just fine from the CD alone.
[15:13:03] Dagmar: Nope. There's no "interoperability" problem.
[15:13:15] Dagmar: You might have broken either one of your machines for all we know.
[15:13:18] Dagmar: It works fine here.
[15:13:42] Dagmar: I just know from repeated experiences that XP can't share files for crap over SMB compared to Linux.

[16:14:34] Dagmar: The seek table *is* what gets populated by the commflagger, afaik
[16:15:04] code-rr: Dagmar: ok fair enough..
[16:15:06] Inssomniak: speaking of comm flagging, anyone else have relatively inaccurate atsc HD commflagginf?
[16:15:10] Dagmar: I could be wrong, but at least when I've had that get blown away, re-commflagging was what unbroke it
[16:15:30] Dagmar: insomniak: If you're talking a few frames off hte mark, that's normal
[16:15:31] code-rr: so how do you SUID mythfrontend again
[16:15:32] stuarta: code-rr: once you have fixed the data base run mythcommflag --rebuild --all
[16:15:38] Dagmar: If you're talking like, whole minutes off the mark, something is hosed.
[16:15:58] code-rr: +stuarta: its running now
[16:16:00] Dagmar: code-rr: If you're going to suid the binary, you might as well just login as root to start it.
[16:16:10] Inssomniak: Dagmar, whole minutes, it will sometimes skip right over a segement of TV between commercials
[16:16:42] Dagmar: Inssomniak: Any kind of correlation between all-dark scenes or scene transistions there?>
[16:16:45] code-rr: Dagmar: i mean when i hit fast forward x5... no problem.. if i go fastforwardx10.. it just dies. if i try PLAYING after x5 it jumps to the END (progress bar) but starts playing from the begining
[16:16:49] Dagmar: Ther'es a lot of stuff that can make the commflagger go wiggy
[16:17:04] code-rr: Dagmar: got a seperate user that STARTXs lol
[16:17:10] Dagmar: code-rr: Yeah, run the command stuarta gave and give it a while to complete
[16:17:21] Inssomniak: Dagmar, nope, it can be any show on OTA, DVB commflagging is perfect
[16:17:23] code-rr: Dagmar: happening
[16:17:28] code-rr: Dagmar: so how do you suid
[16:17:32] code-rr: is it chatter +s?
[16:17:45] Dagmar: code-rr: Running startx as a separate user accomplishes nothing.

[16:21:30] Dagmar: Are they perhaps recordings you nuked before they were going to auto-expire?

[16:24:07] Dagmar: ...and assuming you're male, we generally know a lot about spankin' it.
[16:24:12] Inssomniak: ROFL
[16:24:16] Dagmar: Trust me when I say that suiding the thing isn't going to make a bit of difference.
[16:24:21] code-er: Dagmar: *sigh* congratulations this is a bloody Myth Front end box on an internal network without a million running servies.... WHO CARES!
[16:24:35] Dagmar: So why don't you just run the frontend as root then?
[16:24:45] code-er: Dagmar: cause im lazy!
[16:24:57] Dagmar: You set the thing suid, and then any uid can invoke it as root, which is not specifically what you're aiming to do
[16:25:09] stuarta (stuarta!n=stuarta@unaffiliated/stuarta) has left #mythtv-users ("guests")
[16:25:12] Dagmar: Heck you can start the frontend from rc.local for that matter.
[16:25:16] Dagmar: It's what I'm doing here.
[16:25:22] Hannibal-: ditto; gnome doesn't like to autologin is as root, so i use sudo instead.
[16:25:23] Dagmar: ...well, effectively.
[16:25:27] code-er: Dagmar: i like my respawn so i started it from inittab
[16:25:32] Dagmar: You don't ahve to login for that actually.
[16:26:01] code-er: chmod u+s mythfrontend
[16:26:07] code-er: thanx for the answer :-D
[16:26:12] Dagmar: Basically, if you set up a runlevel script to startx, and then put the commands to start the frontend in the user account that's being used to start the thing's homedir...
[16:26:16] code-er: now to figure out the tan prebuffer pause :-S
[16:26:40] Dagmar: ...it'll start by entering the runlevel. NO login manager needed. No login session that would indicate a nonexistant user needed.

[16:27:50] Dagmar: A login session is basically just a moderately complex illuaion.
[16:27:55] Hannibal-: use video as timebase in trunk/0.21-fixes seems to cause excessive prebuffer pause for me
[16:27:56] Dagmar: s/illuaion/illusion/;

No matter what i put into xorg.conf it always defaults to 1024x768, anybody know what might be obviously wrong with my monitor, device, screen sections in my xorg.conf: http://paste.linux-noob.com/index.php?query=2486
[17:53:21] justinh: directhex: good luck with the openchrome drivers etc. rather you than me. you might find that everything but mythtv is fine with everything you can chuck at it

[17:55:44] directhex: justinh, it's still impossible not to be impessed by the miniaturization on this board though
[17:56:02] directhex: justinh, oh, and i ought to have one of those intel mini-itx boards early next week to compare
[17:56:21] justinh: directhex: I was impressed by the mini-itx, so I can imagine
[17:56:35] jblack: Would anybody care to make recommendations for a mini-itx system that can do 802.11g ?
[17:56:40] directhex: justdave, wait, let me get a comparison photo
[17:56:41] justinh: it was faultless with mythtv up to 0.20.x, then it just started falling to bits
[17:56:50] directhex: jblack, bad tech combined with bad
[17:56:52] justinh: directhex: oh I know. I've seen photos.

[17:57:57] directhex: justinh, i'm not. via didn't ship a case. i'm having to jury-rig a system with a full atx power supply, and a dvd burner on a usb adapter
[17:58:30] directhex: anyway, gotta do some washing up. bbl
[17:58:55] kreat0r: jblack: let me know if you find a good chipset, im looking for a good mini-itx board myself
[17:59:27] jblack: kreat0r: ok
[17:59:44] justinh: wireless – great for t'internet in the garden. bad is you want reliable, always there connections like you need for mythtv
[18:00:26] jblack: It's also great for old, 4 story houses for which wiring them would cost tens of thousands.
[18:00:41] jblack: I've generally been ok with myth on laptops w/ 802.11g.
[18:01:23] jblack: Livetv doesn't work well, but transcoded stuff is fine. ;)

[20:49:53] gentoofan23: Hi, I'm using mythtv from the -fixes branch on gentoo(svn revision 14972. I'm trying to export some video files into a native archive using mytharchive. However, when I attempt to export it, it gives me this: MythNativeWizard: Failed to open file for writing – /archive/Pirates1/Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl/1061_20061225200000.mpg.xml. Any ideas?
[21:00:35] directhex: which -fixes branch?
[21:02:34] Balachmar: @gentoofan23 maybe change the name into something without ":"
[21:03:37] GlemSom: For some reason fast-forwarding/rewinding seems to freeze mythtv... This is what I see in the mythfrontend.log -> http://pastebin.ca/906634

[21:09:22] gentoofan23: directhex: mythtv -fixes for 0.20.2 I think
[21:09:25] Hannibal-: can anyone tell me what happen to previews in the guide?
[21:14:07] gentoofan23: And for the curious, the : is in the title of the recording. I can't change that.
[21:18:10] justinh: Hannibal-: que?
[21:18:58] justinh: oh dear. kdevelop really doesn't seem to work very well
[21:19:44] directhex: justinh, the clue is the ^k
[21:21:13] justinh: you should see the errors in the console. invalid popup menu items, wrong sizes, disconnected slots on QObjects.. it's a farking mess!
[21:21:52] Hannibal-: when i open my guide, it's fullscreen guide, no little video window
[21:22:03] justinh: Hannibal-: that's because there are 2 guides
[21:22:23] justinh: one you get from bringing up the guide in 'watch tv' and one you access from 'schedule recordings'
[21:22:51] Hannibal-: the one for tv used to put the tv show up in a window while you guide surfing tho
[21:23:01] justinh: and now?
[21:23:07] Hannibal-: it doesn't
[21:23:10] justinh: is there just a black box?
[21:23:18] Hannibal-: no black box, no space for a box even
[21:23:24] justinh: so what have you changed?
[21:23:25] Hannibal-: the top line is pure title
[21:23:39] Hannibal-: upgraded to release-0.21-fixes
[21:23:44] Hannibal-: that's all
[21:23:57] justinh: 'all'
[21:23:58] justinh: lol
[21:24:02] Hannibal-: ;-)
[21:24:08] justinh: pretty farking big change
[21:24:38] justinh: so, when you bring up the guide are you doing it from a keypress or via the OSD menu?
[21:24:49] Hannibal-: i suppose – i guess i will to review the commits for the past month or so, because that window was in trunk a few weeks ago
[21:24:56] Hannibal-: keypress
[21:25:09] Hannibal-: i also have it set to pop the guide when i enter live tv
[21:25:15] justinh: the keybindings/jumppoints have been fiddled with
[21:25:42] justinh: if you access the guide from the OSD menu what happens?
[21:27:33] Hannibal-: hm. let me see, it used be the 'm' key that pulled that up
[21:28:38] Hannibal-: same guide menu
[21:29:51] justinh: which theme are you using btw?
[21:29:59] directhex: i'm all out of kopparberg :(
[21:32:13] Hannibal-: titiltivus or something like that
[21:32:55] justinh: Hannibal-: well at least the theme shouldn't br broken :P
[21:33:07] Hannibal-: hehe
[21:33:13] Hannibal-: i'll try a diff theme
[21:33:16] justinh: Hannibal-: check the frontend output for anything suspicious
[21:33:26] Hannibal-: pip seems broken, i get segfaults trying to use it

[21:35:41] Hannibal-: no diff with MythCenter-wide
[21:37:41] justinh: ach well. time to go buy MCE then
[21:38:31] Hannibal-: i think not ;-)
[21:40:58] kdub: get another frontend and use your TVs pip
[21:41:02] kdub: that is the obvious solution
[21:42:20] justinh: or.. never use live tv. like ever
[21:42:36] justinh: well maybe just to test tuners
[21:43:41] kdub: heh

[21:46:24] kdub: youre married?
[21:46:39] kdub: for some reason i assumed you were like 19
[21:47:51] justinh: hahaha no
[21:48:18] justinh: I dunno where you got that impression & I don't care tbh
[21:48:36] kdub: i dont know either, didnt expect you to care
[21:48:37] justinh: but somebody my age prolly shouldn't spend so much time in IRC and messing with OSS
[21:48:53] justinh: especially the last bit
[21:49:17] kdub: heh
[21:50:39] justinh: hit a brick wall in front of my latest plan. not happy. the class I want to use isn't a member of the class a function uses. so, way I understand it is I have to rewrite a big chunk of stuff or just forget the idea

[21:52:20] kdub: i think i am going to take it back until someone gets gestures working in linux
[21:53:45] justinh: what am I missing here – setContext is member of myththemeddialog but programrecpriority.cpp uses mythdialog. myththemeddialog is a child of mythdialog (I think)...
[21:53:54] justinh: kdub: gestures work already
[21:54:04] justinh: use em in firefox & mythfrontend
[21:54:17] kdub: only the gestures that are built into it

[21:57:13] justinh: I wouldn't be surprised. that works with a few very expensive human interface devices

[21:57:32] justinh: sid: yes. if you have to ask it's probably beyond your ability
[21:57:45] sid: heh, I can do it
[21:57:55] sid: I'm just being safe, and making sure.
[21:58:00] justinh: man this coding is making me pissed off
[21:58:09] justinh: X850 sounds radeon-ish
[21:58:13] sid: http://secure.newegg.com/Shopping/AddToCart.a . . . 27151154%7c1
[21:58:21] justinh: please say it's nvidia
[21:58:27] sid: justinh: yes, best graphics card you can buy on the market, and still use xorg's ati driver
[21:58:33] sid: justinh: no, it's radeon
[21:58:43] justinh: sid: forget all about mythtv if you want to keep that card then
[21:58:48] justinh: forget all about it
[21:59:05] sid: I'm getting this wireless card: http://www.microbarn.com/details.aspx?rid=101626
[21:59:16] kdub: why do you want a good video card for your HTPC?
[21:59:19] sid: So I can use Ath5k, instead of proprietary madwifi with hal blob
[21:59:29] sid: kdub: So I can play games on my desktop?
[21:59:30] kdub: just get integrated or cheap nvidia
[21:59:33] kdub: what games?
[21:59:34] sid: kdub: It will be a desktop/htpc
[21:59:38] sid: cube etc
[21:59:38] justinh: kdub: he needs a good video card, so he should dump the ati thing
[21:59:41] kdub: anyone tell you mythtv runs linux?
[21:59:41] kdub: heh
[21:59:52] kdub: in*
[22:00:02] kreat0r: haven't ati's drivers gotten a lot better?
[22:00:03] sid: That motherboard is supported by linuxbios/coreboot also
[22:00:12] kreat0r: i remember them being embarassingly bad years ago
[22:00:16] sid: my goal is to make a desktop/htpc and make it as free as possible
[22:00:23] justinh: on ATI's website they even say don't go running to them with support requests for *mythtv* (whatever that is) and most linux media players
[22:01:02] justinh: sid: free isn't always best. sad state of affairs. no point in doing it just for the sake of it. I'd call it cutting off your nose to spite microsoft
[22:01:12] iamlindoro_: I love when people say that... and then want all the codecs they want to play to work too
[22:01:32] justinh: divx? oh sorry not free
[22:01:35] justinh: mp3? sorry not free
[22:01:46] iamlindoro_: "I want a free desktop that's free free free! Oh, and I want it to play MPEG-2 and AC3 and MP3 and and and..."
[22:01:46] justinh: wmv? hahaa
[22:01:55] kdub: uhm
[22:02:19] sid: justinh: This will be a nice system. What's the problem?
[22:02:27] justinh: I want to wear a straighjacket, be laden with lead blocks and thrown into a big glass tank full of water to experience total freedom
[22:02:40] sid: X850 are good graphics, xorg's ati driver supports 3d accel, and dual output etc
[22:02:56] justinh: sid: I don't see Xv in that 'supports' list there
[22:03:13] iamlindoro_: justinh: Let the man buy his ATI driver, and let's be absolutely sure NOT to help when his mythtv can't play video
[22:03:18] iamlindoro_: er ATI card
[22:04:30] justinh: if you really want to be 'free' you must eschew any dependence on propriatary codecs. no dvd, no mp3, no divx, no wmv, no quicktime, no flash...
[22:04:58] sid: justinh: no, that's not free..that's legal
[22:05:15] sid: libdvdread3 is GPL'd, lame is gpld, xvid is gpld, ffmpeg is gpl'd
[22:05:37] sid: But using these is violating the DMCA, and infringing on patents etc, so I would be breaking American law(if I'm in america)
[22:05:41] iamlindoro_: Just because there's GPL code to play them does NOT mean they're not patent and rights encumbered
[22:05:45] sid: But I would still be using free software.
[22:06:59] kreat0r: sid has a point
[22:07:10] kreat0r: he wouldn't be violating american laws since he isn't a citizen here
[22:07:12] kdub: no he doesnt
[22:07:14] sid: Although a lot of the integrated circuits etc, there is no documentation/specs for them, there will be lots of proprietary ics on this machine, but my bios, and my user/kernel land can be very free
[22:07:31] kdub: you shouldnt feel bad for breaking stupid laws
[22:07:47] sid: massive civil disobedience
[22:08:41] sid: Thomson's mp3 patent expires in 2009, iirc. only a matter of time
[22:08:50] sid: But all those MPEG-2 patents, there are like over 700 of them
[22:09:04] sid: took longer to negotiate the patents, then it did to develop the MPEG-2 standard
[22:09:15] sid: kind of sad, american patent system is garbage. software patents should be abolished

[22:11:02] sid: And gnash is looking pretty good, I watch youtube with gnash, works fine for me
[22:11:07] sid: if ffmpeg can play the codec, it works
[22:11:46] kreat0r: sid: why waste all this time/energy on open source and shit
[22:11:48] kreat0r: go get laid
[22:11:51] kreat0r: or something
[22:12:14] sid: I get laid as much as I restart my server(it runs GNU/Linux)
[22:12:15] justinh: I more or less sit on the fence w.r.t. OSS
[22:12:21] kreat0r: hahaha
[22:12:24] sid: I wish I got laid as much as my co-worker, he runs windows server 2003
[22:12:32] kdub: dork

[22:18:41] kreat0r: why not
[22:18:46] kdub: some licensing issues
[22:18:55] kreat0r: oh yeah
[22:19:01] kreat0r: didn't icculus say it was something minor too?

[22:33:11] DustyBin: http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/RGB_Scart
[22:33:36] DustyBin: how could one ignore something like this:
[22:33:38] DustyBin: "Driving a TV directly has some advantages. The quality is superior to composite or S-video, and as the video card's TV encoder is completely bypassed, custom resolutions and refresh rates can be programmed. On the down side, this method can require some experimentation to get right."
[22:34:06] justinh: DustyBin: because it's a load of hassle & not everybody has zillions of RGB scart inputs
[22:34:25] DustyBin: i got 2x scart inputs on my TV, one is RGB capable
[22:34:27] justinh: my cable box takes SCART 1
[22:34:34] DustyBin: my gfx card is capable too
[22:34:40] DustyBin: aye ok
[22:34:47] justinh: and no no no no, I ain't putting that into mythtv.

[22:49:59] kreat0r: how can i tell if the digital chans in my area that are over air are true HD?
[22:50:06] DustyBin: justinh: was it running os x or linux
[22:50:10] justinh: I never even gave them a thought til I saw one in real life.
[22:50:12] justinh: osx
[22:50:16] DustyBin: aye nice
[22:50:54] DustyBin: justinh: the only problem you might have if your still going to use your CRT is no TV OUT
[22:51:16] justinh: DustyBin: bollocks. it'll work. same vga chipset as the thing my frontend runs on
[22:51:53] justinh: they use spare pins on the DVI port for it
[22:52:09] justinh: so you need an adapter – but it's only like a tenner
[22:52:20] DustyBin: VGA > SCART ?
[22:52:29] splat1 is now known as splAt1
[22:52:40] DustyBin: using composite
[22:53:08] DustyBin: you could use the apple remote to control it too :D
[22:53:22] justinh: no, svideo & composite out of the DVI port's spare (normally unused) pins
[22:53:37] DustyBin: i see
[22:53:39] justinh: the apple remote. careful you don't inhale it
[22:53:44] DustyBin: LOL
[22:54:02] ** DustyBin away: drop the children off **
[22:54:06] justinh: I've totally done my homework on it believe me
[22:56:54] justinh: I even have the remote worked out. lirc works, its inbuilt receiver can recognise up to 255 buttons. I can program my remote to send buttons using the mac IR codes (way more than 6). I couldn't find any evidence a while ago that PAL TV out works (but it does on my frontend with the same chipset, so should)..
[22:57:56] justinh: but more than a minor snag is the audio output – both digital & analogue are on the same socket (digi is optical) meaning you can't use them both at the same time so I'd have to turn my amp on to watch telly. I don't disapprove but wifey does

[23:01:22] Cackette: what is a decent sized HD for recording HD and regular stuff
[23:01:24] Cackette: 250?

[23:01:48] justinh: 8GB an hour? you do the sums
[23:01:59] justinh: how much do you want to store?
[23:02:02] Cackette: 8GB is for HD?
[23:02:14] justinh: anyway for a while the best price per GB has been 500GB
[23:02:23] Cackette: what does SD use per hour
[23:02:25] justinh: Cackette: average for HD.. or so
[23:03:01] justinh: depends on the bitrate you set on your pvr card or what the broadcaster churns out (for digital) – tends to be about 2GB/hour typical
[23:03:07] Cackette: ok
[23:03:11] Cackette: thanks
[23:03:30] justinh: I only record SD & have a 500GB HDD. it's almost more than enough
[23:03:42] justinh: that's just for recordings mind you
[23:04:46] kreat0r: doesanyone here record via antenna?
[23:05:01] justinh: yeah
[23:05:10] kreat0r: is the quality good?
[23:05:15] justinh: digital :D
[23:05:47] justinh: remember there may be people here from a different country to your own :P
[23:06:18] cowman: I'm having a video playpack problem, maybe someone can help
[23:06:50] ** justinh calls the A-Team **
[23:06:54] cowman: when watching livetv or trying to watch recordings from mythfrontend the video is corrupt. audio is ok but video is just a bunch of random colored lines
[23:07:04] orkid_: A-Team here, what uup
[23:07:21] justinh: orkid_: cowman has a problem no-one else can help with
[23:07:30] cowman: however, the thumbnail previews for recordings look fine, and watching tv from mplayer works fine
[23:07:39] justinh: cowman: crappy video drivers
[23:07:45] justinh: as in VGA card drivers
[23:08:05] cowman: so I need new video card drivers?
[23:08:12] orkid_: cowman: did you try to run it from another player? or transcode the files to something else and then play them (all w/o the mythfrontend)
[23:08:12] justinh: depends.
[23:08:29] cowman: why would video work in every other case except there though...
[23:08:31] justinh: if ATI, no new drivers will fix it
[23:08:46] cowman: nvidia, using the drivers provided by nvidia
[23:09:04] orkid_: cowman: trying troubleshooting here, eliminate things
[23:09:07] orkid_: cowman: simplify
[23:09:30] orkid_: cowman: try to run it with another player (that runs mythtv files) and/or transcode and try it with another player
[23:09:35] cowman: if I type mythtv from the command line, I just get raw TV and it works fine
[23:09:35] orkid_: to rule out that it's mythfrontend
[23:09:46] cowman: mplayer /dev/video1 shows TV. IT works just fine
[23:09:55] cowman: I think it has to be the frontend
[23:10:05] justinh: cowman: really? just running mythtv from the commandline works fine?
[23:10:10] orkid_: if you schedule a recording, does mythbackend record it fine ?
[23:10:16] orkid_: can you play it after it's done recording?
[23:10:25] DustyBin: justinh: the mac mini sounds like a perfect front end, saves the hassle of building something what will be 5x as big yourself
[23:10:26] justinh: that's basically the same thing as running mythfrontend & going into live tv
[23:10:34] cowman: no, but I can see the thumbnail preview and it looks ok
[23:10:38] justinh: DustyBin: yup
[23:10:47] orkid_: cowman: so it doesn't run either ?
[23:10:47] justinh: cowman: that only proves the recording is fine
[23:11:08] justinh: anyway. I'm off to watch some telly
[23:11:17] orkid_: cowman: you get garbage when you try to play a recorded tv show ?
[23:11:43] cowman: I take it back, mythtv from command line does NOT work although I could have sworn it did once
[23:11:58] cowman: and yes I get garbage for playback
[23:12:52] justinh: cowman: that sounds more sane
[23:12:52] cowman: it's very odd
[23:13:17] clever[rev]: weee
[23:13:20] clever[rev]: irexec froze up
[23:13:21] justinh: so. it used to work?
[23:13:27] justinh: cowman: ^^
[23:13:30] clever[rev]: so i hit the frontend button more
[23:13:30] clever[rev]: now i got 6 frontends!
[23:13:45] DustyBin: i forgot, the mac minis also come with a dvd player!
[23:14:05] justinh: anyway. I'm off to watch some telly. I REALLY am
[23:14:21] clever[rev]: cowman: 'mythtv' can be used like 'mplayer' for playing most files
[23:14:28] cowman: it might have once. This is a new install of myth though
[23:15:01] orkid_: does the recorded show play in mplayer?

[23:17:04] cowman: where it worked 5 minutes ago
[23:17:39] cowman: so maybe a buggy video overlay?

[23:19:48] clever[rev]: mplayer ... -vo x11
[23:21:01] orkid_: cowman: is this a new computer too? maybe it's ram ?
[23:21:28] cowman: that command worked
[23:21:32] orkid_: cowman: did you try various video outputs with mplayer (-vo .. like x11 gl2 [if you have dri])

[23:22:05] orkid_: cowman: can you play a known good video file (ideally a show recorded on another computer using mythtv)
[23:22:22] orkid_: cowman: so that shows your video correctly?
[23:22:24] cowman: gl2 works
[23:22:31] cowman: x11 works
[23:22:36] orkid_: so x11 and gl2 shows your video correctly?
[23:22:40] cowman: I'm playing an mpeg file myth recorded
[23:22:52] cowman: yup
[23:23:13] orkid_: so it sounds like whatever mythtv uses by default is 'broken' in the video card driver perhaps
[23:23:22] orkid_: this is an ATI card oyu mentioned runing fglrx ?
[23:24:11] orkid_: i don't know personally, but there might be a way to make mythtv use x11 or gl2 for its internal player, it can most definitely do this for its external player
[23:24:14] cowman: it's an nvidia card
[23:25:31] orkid_: hmm, did you try with the 'nv' driver instead of 'nvidia' ?
[23:25:51] orkid_: (you might be able to use xv and x11, but not gl2)
[23:26:37] cowman: ok, I just tried playing one of the mythtv files with xine
[23:26:59] cowman: corrupt video, but then I went into the settings and changed the playback to gl2 and it works fine that way
[23:27:19] orkid_: so it's something to do with the xv output (default at least in mplayer)
[23:27:50] cowman: would video drivers cause that? I can upgrade them in about 2 minutes
[23:29:11] orkid_: possibly
[23:29:22] cowman: brb...
[23:29:29] orkid_: or something with the X Video Extension
