[00:21:02] usg990a1235: any thoughts?
[00:21:18] directhex: what is the hostname on the broken and non-broken machines?
[00:21:45] usg990a1235: hostname on master backend is mediaserver and broken frontend is jsands
[00:24:07] usg990a1235: what strike's me as odd is that only one frontend has this problem. I just compiled it from scratch today using same sources as the other frontends

[00:36:47] Woosta: Is there any way to cron scanning for new files?
[00:37:03] mikeones: if I run nuvexport-xvid --mencoder --nice 10 --input=file.mpg form the console as mythtv user, everhting is fine. If I setup user job 1 and run nuvexport-xvid --mencoder --nice 10 --input="%FILE%" , nothing happens
[00:37:37] mikeones: anyway to logg that and see what is going on?
[00:37:48] iamlindoro__: all user jobs are logged in the backend log
[00:37:59] iamlindoro__: but your problem is almost certainly that you're not feeding it the absolute path
[00:38:14] iamlindoro__: Make it %DIR%/%FILE% and it will likely work
[00:39:30] mikeones: great! Let me try that

[00:42:47] mikeones: iamlindoro__: the show I have recorded with user job 1 enabled are in the Job queue but, they are not starting. The just stay in queued status. Let me see if the new user job 1 settings will make the next job transcode
[00:43:29] iamlindoro__: you will probably need to remove the queued jobs for it to get to any new jobs

[00:43:47] clever: damnit
[00:44:22] Woosta: robbins61: I rewrote it so it works for me, but it isn't designed to be too generic yet
[00:44:24] iamlindoro__: robbins61: No, like people have been telling you, there's unlikely to be a near-term fix (ie, in the next few days)
[00:44:35] iamlindoro__: ah, officially speaking, that is ;)

[00:48:39] Anduin: Woosta: did you just switch to UserAgent?
[00:48:43] robbins61: alright, i'll try it out
[00:48:47] Woosta: no, I rewrote it
[00:49:02] Woosta: http://rick.measham.id.au/paste/imdb.txt
[00:49:39] Woosta: It isn't as complete as the version in the distro, but -D works. -P just gets the low-res cover shot from imdb and -M isn't implemented at all.

[01:50:56] iamlindoro__: Woosta: By all means, I'm sure nobody would mind you writing up a patch to do so
[01:51:16] Ghost1227: anyone have any experience with the pvr-150?
[01:53:26] iamlindoro__: Ghost1227: Far better to just ask your question than to wait for someone to volunteer to help you
[01:53:41] Ghost1227: guess thats a good point
[01:54:06] iamlindoro__: since probably 50% of the people here own or have owned 150s
[01:54:22] Ghost1227: ok... here goes nothing... i have a pvr-150 that works well, but only up to channel 50... after 50 it just gives static
[01:55:19] iamlindoro__: It's entirely possible that only the first 50 channels in your cable lineup are transmitted in analog... the other possibility is that you're using the wrong frequency table or modulation
[01:56:11] Ghost1227: huh
[01:56:12] Ghost1227: ok
[01:57:18] iamlindoro__: easiest way to see is to plug your cable line straight into your TV and scan for channels on the TV (withouth using *any* Set Top Box). If you only get 50, then those are the only ones broadcast in analog by your provider, and the others are digital-only. My money's on that.
[01:58:13] Ghost1227: alright, will try that
[01:58:32] Ghost1227: here's another question for you then
[01:59:00] Ghost1227: in the middle of building what is gonna be a hd-htpc... any suggestions on good hd cards that work with myth?

[01:59:38] iamlindoro__: Presuming USA, The HDHomerun,. Kworld 110 or 115, and pcHDTV 5500 are all decent cards
[01:59:54] iamlindoro__: just keep in mind that, as always, you are likely only to be able to receive local channels in HD
[02:00:20] iamlindoro__: And that the digital versions of all the other channels in your cable lineup are going to be encrypted, most likely
[02:01:00] iamlindoro__: There is hope on the horizon for capture and hardware encoding of Component out from a cable box, but that's not in the wild yet.

[14:16:42] jblack: That would indicate to me that the backend server is either not running, or is somewhere other than where you told the frontend it is.
[14:16:50] quicksilver: the second choice, I think
[14:16:58] quicksilver: since the desktop frontend works OK you said
[14:17:31] rinaldi_: jblack: well the backend is definitly running, and i've got the frontend set to the backend ip
[14:17:40] jblack: Firewall, perhaps?
[14:17:45] directhex|bsp: ip binding

[14:18:41] jblack: not your most brilliant idea. ;)

[14:19:17] directhex|bsp: nope, the Powers That Be have decided it's a firewall issue. we get lots of firewall issues in here, all the time! must be that
[14:19:22] jblack: rinaldi_: As directhex suggests, I'd check the binding first. If you're binding to localhost rather than your ethernet interface...

[14:21:00] directhex|bsp: doschdn, restart the backend. seems the upnp part dies randomly on occasion
[14:21:16] jblack: mythtv-backend defaults to localhost, so unless you've changed it, it'll ignore any network interfaces you happen to have.

[15:13:08] directhex|bsp: please state the nature of the mythtv emergency
[15:14:58] Te3-BloodyIron: lol it's not quite an emergency
[15:15:20] Te3-BloodyIron: okay well im adding another backend to the system, and i want it to do more transcoding, but it doesnt have a tuner in it so i want it to transcode stuff other backends record
[15:15:42] justinh: not sure you can do that
[15:15:50] Te3-BloodyIron: however i either didnt set it up right, or something, because it doesnt copy the files to the new backend, and thus reports 242 because it cannot transcode files on another machine
[15:16:41] justinh: there's something about allowing jobs to run on a different backend – dunno if that just applies to commflagging or not though
[15:18:30] Te3-BloodyIron: well i can commflag over the network just fine
[15:18:38] Te3-BloodyIron: which helps, but not all of what i want to do :P
[15:18:46] Te3-BloodyIron: do you know if i need to set it up on the master backend, or the new backend?
[15:19:03] justinh: I think it can only run on the backend the recording is done on
[15:19:25] Te3-BloodyIron: i dunno about that, there is a flag to force such a setting, which suggests you can set it up to do the opposite
[15:19:34] Te3-BloodyIron: do you remember this flag?

[15:42:55] iamlindoro: on the contrary, it takes conscious effort or real ignorance to break things irreparably
[15:43:17] nayfly_: ahh, for instance, upgrading a graphics card driver caused 3 hours of heartache
[15:43:22] iamlindoro: There's very little a quick google and an aweness of what you just did can't fix
[15:43:29] nayfly_: all is well now, but yes, frustrating

[15:45:33] justinh: so don't come along with all this veteran shite
[15:45:47] iamlindoro: point being, it's *just* as easy to break windows, you just don't do it because you are familiar with it. It's identical in Linux
[15:46:04] nayfly_: i suppose you're right....
[15:46:09] justinh: don't allow (pointless) automagical updates to happen

[15:49:52] justinh: directhex|bsp: it's good though. those pesky early adopters have to be taught a lesson damnit
[15:49:55] Kazan: i didn't realize the BR2 specs were out.. i thought it was just 1.1
[15:49:56] iamlindoro: directhex, That's why I'll go on ripping my BR disks and just watch that sweet, sweet TS in MythVideo
[15:50:01] directhex|bsp: nayfly_, MS will release a blu-ray usb drive at some point

[15:50:15] directhex|bsp: iamlindoro, why the hell are they using TS for disc media?
[15:50:15] Kazan: iamlindoro: i was unaware that there existed a ripping tool for BR
[15:50:36] iamlindoro: directhex|bsp, I just work here, don't ask me :)
[15:50:39] Kazan: ok.. question for you guys
[15:50:41] iamlindoro: Kazan, Yup, there are several
[15:50:53] Kazan: why would recordings on my HD tuner be failing silently.. there is no error report in my backend log
[15:50:54] nayfly_: for me, blue-ray is redundant until they come up with an affordable burner
[15:51:05] directhex|bsp: nayfly_, define 'affordable'
[15:51:30] hashbang: directhex|bsp: heh. I remember paying 179GBP for my Mitsumi 4x CD burner, back in 1998 or so.
[15:51:44] nayfly_: affordable in the sense that there is market competition
[15:51:56] hashbang: directhex|bsp: and that was a couple of years after friends had bought ~400GBP Ricoh 1x/2x models.
[15:52:28] directhex|bsp: blu-ray burners are under £200
[15:52:32] justinh: 300GBP for hp scsi cd writer, sans scsi card
[15:52:48] nayfly_: random question, is there a linux drive imaging tool?
[15:52:59] justinh: nayfly_: dd

[15:53:24] Kazan: wtf
[15:53:27] Kazan: million database errors
[15:53:29] directhex|bsp: so you can stock up on cheap discontinued hd-dvd movies
[15:53:41] iamlindoro: directhex|bsp, Yes, exactly what I've been saying!
[15:54:05] iamlindoro: Get them at less than half the cost they will be when they are reissued on Blu-ray, and the files will be *identical* save the different container
[15:54:23] directhex|bsp: iamlindoro, i still want a "put disc in drive and watch it" solution in the living room. currently that means ps3 means blu-ray
[15:54:33] arschjucken: i have a question: can i configure mythtv to use its own mixer or audio? i dont like its controlling my master or pcm mixer
[15:54:58] nayfly_: i believe you can, in the general setup options
[15:55:03] directhex|bsp: i wonder when cd burning will be dropped from drives
[15:55:10] iamlindoro: directhex|bsp, Yeah... I so seldom watch anything off a disk that it's worth it to me just to get it in to mythvideo... all a matter of your watching habits, I suppose
[15:55:27] iamlindoro: arschjucken, I think you would need to use pulsa for that
[15:55:30] iamlindoro: er pulse
[15:55:32] arschjucken: i have a audigy2 zs soundcard which can hardwaremix, when i tick in general options 'use internal mixer' its controlling my pcm
[15:55:49] arschjucken: mybe i can setup something with alsa ?

[15:57:06] directhex|bsp: just what the world needs, more sound servers
[15:57:09] iamlindoro: DustyBin, I imagine Apple's AAC decoder is far more advanced than Libfaac's
[15:57:21] DustyBin: aye thats what im thinking
[15:57:50] hashbang: directhex|bsp: to be fair, pulse adds some neat features

[15:58:08] hashbang: directhex|bsp: as far as I can tell, sound can be piped from one app to another using Pulse, plus per-app mixers.
[15:58:21] iamlindoro: arschjucken, Just 'cause your card can hwmix doesn't mean Myth can take advantage of it... I still believe you're going to need to use pulse
[15:58:30] justinh: neat features? like giving you silence in mythtv without you ever needing to press mute?
[15:58:57] hashbang: justinh: JFW here on FC8
[15:58:57] directhex|bsp: iamlindoro, you'd think that, but you'd also think apple or mps's mp3 encoders would be better than some FOSS effort
[15:59:10] justinh: FC? eww
[15:59:26] arschjucken: thanks iamlindoro, will try pulse then.... thought i could onfigure alsa in some way, dunno an virutal mythtv mixer or something
[15:59:33] directhex|bsp: fedora's not cool anymore. cool kids run arch
[15:59:53] justinh: parrently unbung-too is gonna use pulseaudio in its next incarnation
[16:00:03] iamlindoro: directhex|bsp, True, but I think the understanding of MP3 format is substantially better than AAC
[16:00:25] iamlindoro: directhex|bsp, understanding by "the general public," that is
[16:00:56] iamlindoro: directhex|bsp, Then again, all my talk is conjecture anyway, libfaac might be just as good as Apple's decoder for all I know... I just wouldn't take that bet :)
[16:01:11] justinh: I just wouldn't use aac
[16:01:26] directhex|bsp: libfaad
[16:01:57] DustyBin: i found a car stereo what supports ogg, unbelievable, if this had support for usb storage it would be perfek :D

[16:03:20] directhex|bsp: DustyBin, there are a couple
[16:03:23] justinh: by the time the car engine is running & you're moving on a British road, sound quality is immaterial
[16:03:37] directhex|bsp: DustyBin, generally, if it's korean, check for ogg support
[16:03:37] DustyBin: directhex|bsp: there are, but most of them are cack
[16:03:43] DustyBin: this one looks half decent
[16:04:02] justinh: half decent isn't good enough though
[16:04:06] DustyBin: car audio direct usually only stock stuff whats pretty good

[16:39:33] javamatte: Does anyone know if this is possible: I just started using SPDIF out, working fine. However, when I transcode my ATSC (MPEG2) captures to save space, I'm pretty sure it's mp3-ifying the audio to 2 channel. Is there a way to transcode the video down but keep the digital audio track intact?
[16:39:34] directhex|bsp: so why make themes at all, if you don't care about "eye candy"?
[16:39:35] justinh: kill the menu fade!
[16:39:48] directhex|bsp: why not just use vdr-style plain text menus?
[16:40:04] iamlindoro: javamatte, Sure, just write your own transcode with ffmepg and use -acodec copy
[16:40:27] justinh: directhex|bsp:going without eye-candy doesn't mean out & out sucking like the core themes do

[16:45:15] iamlindoro: javamatte, More or less, that means learning ffmpeg syntax and scripting it. Or alternately, finding a script that does it already. Personally, I transcode my AC3 audio tracks to 5.1 channel AAC and all HD content to 720p h.264 in MP4 container
[16:45:24] directhex|bsp: justinh, you'll hate me for saying it, but myth on win32 will bring in more of them

[18:13:01] jblack: the pixie dust ran out too soon
[18:13:06] iamlindoro: Not implemented yet. Someday, everything will be streamed.
[18:13:45] GreyFoxx: tgm4883_laptop: They are intended as frontend functions and shouldn't require the backend to even be running

[18:14:44] tgm4883_laptop: ah ok, so it's being worked on for .22?
[18:14:49] tgm4883_laptop: or later

[18:16:04] GreyFoxx: yes
[18:16:09] tgm4883_laptop: any particular reason why?
[18:16:19] GreyFoxx: myth will look for the file locally first and play it if it's in the right spot
[18:16:50] GreyFoxx: tgm4883_laptop: historically it was less glitchy, and again didn't require the backend to actually be running
[18:16:52] ** jblack doesn't like nfs very much. **
[18:17:09] GreyFoxx: but nowadays it's just just the way it is cause I haven't changed it

[18:23:27] jblack: perhaps I can debug these segfaults with ./configure --enable-static --prefix=/home/jblack/mymyth --libdir-name=/home/jblack/mymyth

[18:37:06] jblack: I tried --libdir-name with configure, but using that results in myth being unable to find things such as qt

[18:53:28] tgm4883_laptop: GreyFoxx, if I could just bug you with one more question. On your setup, if the backend is off, you can still access the recordings (that are local), do they show up in watch recordings and do they still have the show data? I just want to make sure im understanding you correctly

[18:56:03] tgm4883_laptop: <GreyFoxx> myth will look for the file locally first and play it if it's in the right spot
[18:56:34] iamlindoro: tgm4883_laptop, That's taken out of context, I'm sure what he was saying made sense in the greater context

[18:57:47] zabadapp: jarle: why would it try to tune the dvb-card instead of the analog? when looking in the database I can't see anything else that differs between a dvb and an analog channel except for the freqid and mplexid/serviceid ... and since the error-msg indicates myth wouldn't select the correct tuner, it must be something missing in the db (i.e. all sourceid are the same, it thinks there's only one tuner?)
[18:57:52] iamlindoro: tgm4883_laptop, Well, now you have an answer. In the situation you described, there would be no recordings access in myth.
[18:58:14] bradd (bradd!n=bradd@shaolin.ameri.ca) has joined #mythtv-users
[18:58:19] iamlindoro: you can access all other things, like MythVideo, MythMusic, etc., assuming they're local, but not recordings.
[18:58:55] iamlindoro: Ah, I see what Greyfoxx was saying... in the situation he speaks of, you would still need the backend to be up
[18:59:31] jams: to me that sounded like a matter of streaming from the backend or reading from the local fs
[18:59:32] tgm4883_laptop: as in the backend machine, or mythtv-backend
[18:59:36] iamlindoro: He just said that he still keeps them on an NFS share, ie it will play from what it considers a local disk and, failing that, will stream
[19:00:20] iamlindoro: tgm4883_laptop, mythbackend would need to be up and running, regardless of whether you're streaming them or playing them off an NFS mount in order to get show info, to get into "Watch Recordings," etc.
[19:00:49] tgm4883_laptop: ah ok
[19:02:37] jarle: zabadapp: I only have dvb-s in my setup, so I'm note quite sure how myth handles different input sources..

[19:07:04] iamlindoro: It certainly wasn't a myth dev who said that
[19:07:54] iamlindoro: It'll come out when all of the bugs assigned to .21 have been squashed
[19:08:20] PatrickDK: .21 will make me very happy
[19:08:27] PatrickDK: I'm just overjoyed with .20 currently
[19:08:40] PatrickDK: atleast compared to when I test out .12, and compared to my replaytv
[19:08:41] jams: no my knowledge feb8th was never a date kicked around by the dev team.
[19:08:55] PatrickDK: .20 solves all issues I have with pvr

[21:28:12] justinh: the story of anybody going to PC world with the idea that they'll be able to walk out with what they went in for
[21:28:45] justinh: unless they go in expecting to be bitterly disappointed, I mean
[21:28:45] directhex: oh. blackest, store policy is to discount ex-display items, and for something that sells out like the eee, they probably decided they'd rather not impact the day's profit %
[21:29:17] justinh: do any of the DSG shops ever sell anything ex-display?

[21:33:59] justinh: for honesty / not conning ?
[21:34:29] directhex: 2) selling someone a pc, monitor, printer, and extended warranty package, rather than fetching a salesman who was standing by the all-in-ones talking about the fat bird he'd slept with so he could manage the sale

[21:54:52] AndyCap: siXy: ok. what I was thinking of was a separate front and backend machine and if I'm not mistaken mythvideo on the frontend can grab videos from the backend. so all that would be necessary is to use the symlinker script to drop the links in one of your mythvideo dirs.

[22:38:48] systemloc: on x86 hardware, can mythvideo play quicktime .MOV files?
[22:39:56] directhex: systemloc, MOV is a container format
[22:40:15] directhex: systemloc, all linux players on all arches can understand the container. a bigger question is which codecs are used therein
[22:40:36] directhex: systemloc, i don't know whether anyone ever reverse-engineered the old sorrenson3 codec used in many files
[22:40:51] systemloc: directhex: any chance of support for sorenson and/or apple's version of mpeg4 in the .mov container
[22:41:14] systemloc: directhex: are you implying that mpeg4 in a .mov is supported, then?
[22:41:21] directhex: "apple's version" doesn't exist
[22:41:26] directhex: h264 is h264
[22:41:44] systemloc: directhex: is h264 == mpeg4 ?

[23:03:56] iamlindoro_: but by all means, please *do* buy that VIA system. I won't increase my blood pressure trying to save you headaches
[23:04:19] mishehu: iamlindoro_: I already own several. they make good openvpn boxes that boot off of sd cards.
[23:04:32] fryfrog: mishehu: zounds, i need your help!

[23:05:40] fryfrog: mishehu: yeah
[23:05:52] fryfrog: i have it *almost* totally working
[23:05:59] fryfrog: so i have an openvpn server
[23:05:59] mishehu: fryfrog: tun mode, with allowing it to auto-learn
[23:06:06] mishehu: I'd have to look up in my config file
[23:06:10] fryfrog: auto-learn?
[23:06:13] fryfrog: let me look :)
[23:06:38] fryfrog: basically, right now from the "client lan" i can ping the server's lan
[23:06:42] fryfrog: but *not* the other way around
[23:06:49] fryfrog: (and i'm using tun, routed, etc)
[23:08:40] mishehu: ok, how about this about the small form factors... the alternatives that I normally see for micro-atx or mini-itx that aren't via procs are usually standard desktop procs. it seems like I have to order from overseas to get a turion or a centrino in one of them... unless somebody knows of a seller in the USA that they can refer to me.

[23:10:52] mishehu: maybe I'm not looking at the right spot on newegg.
[23:11:00] fryfrog: oh, are you looking for pre-bulit or bulid your own?
[23:11:08] mishehu: fryfrog: barebones would be fine.
[23:11:24] mishehu: I can assemble myself of course
[23:11:33] fryfrog: i dunno, i've never looked them up either, i suppose the market for "desktop" type systems running laptop parts is very small :(
[23:11:57] fryfrog: any strong intel/amd preference?
[23:12:43] fryfrog: shoot, i don't even know what socket a centrino or turion plug into :/
[23:12:58] mishehu: generally amd because it has x86_64 (more complete than intel's implementation)
[23:13:14] geu: does one of you know a knoppix channel?
[23:13:27] mishehu: I haven't kept up with them. I can't drop the cpu type down to a centrino or turion on the barebones
[23:13:32] fryfrog: tried #knoppix and #knoppmyth , etc?
[23:13:41] mishehu: geu: I'd *guess* #knoppix
[23:13:47] AndyCap: geu or /m chanserv list *knopp*
[23:14:02] fryfrog: Socket S1 for Turion
[23:14:10] mishehu: hhmmm
[23:14:40] fryfrog: I don't see that as an option for newegg's "power search" :(
[23:14:44] geu: argh. . . I tried to join #knoppix on the wrong server. . .
[23:14:52] fryfrog: i hate that :)
[23:15:10] mishehu: fryfrog: see what I mean? hard to find it
[23:15:30] fryfrog: yeah, for sure :(
[23:15:38] fryfrog: i think i'd just build a normal system with a desktop cpu
[23:15:46] fryfrog: but pick a low wattage / usage desktop cpu
[23:17:22] fryfrog: Intel looks like "Socket M"
[23:18:24] mishehu: socket m is for centrino?
[23:18:46] cafuego: centrino is a chipset
[23:19:58] mishehu: ok, pentium mobile
[23:20:10] mishehu: I forgot the -pedantic switch ;-)
[23:20:34] cafuego: feh
[23:20:46] fryfrog: centrino isn't even really a chipset
[23:21:02] fryfrog: it is more of a specificication saying "youll have a wireless network card, an intel chipset and an intel cpu"
[23:21:05] fryfrog: or something like that
[23:22:18] fryfrog: it would appear there is also a "Socket P"
[23:22:42] fryfrog: It launched on May 9, 2007, as part of the Santa Rosa platform. Socket P has 478 pins, but is not pin-compatible with Socket M or Socket 478.
[23:23:30] mzb: look for MoTD (I think that's right)
[23:24:07] mzb: s/MoDT
[23:24:17] mishehu: what's MoDT?
[23:24:46] mzb: ie: http://modt.aopen.com/
[23:24:50] mzb: mobile on desktop
[23:24:57] mzb: number of cases and platforms
[23:25:06] mzb: not just aopen

[23:55:38] mzb: if you only want a frontend, I guess the Hiper would be ok ... just but nv graphics in ;)
[23:56:02] mzb: maybe use USB tuners if combined? (and desperate)
[23:56:13] mzb: s/just but/just put/
[23:56:17] iamlindoro: mzb: Yup... too bad they dumped the nv with this newer model :(
[23:56:25] mzb: yeah
[23:57:11] mzb: hopefully I'll be playing with this soon: http://www.silverstonetek.com/products/p_cont . . . amp;area=usa
[23:57:14] iamlindoro: sorta defeats the purpose of having the nice integrated HDMI, but it's true, it could be done
[23:57:27] mzb: but that's stage 1b ;)
[23:58:01] mzb: need to get mobo + cpu first ... "customer" is notoriously unreliable and tends to let project slip through the cracks ... we'll see
[23:58:13] mzb: *projects
[23:59:23] directhex: reckon i'll save money & go mini
