[00:00:12] justinh: have to skip them manually anyway in the UK land
[00:00:55] directhex: anything that's just a upnp client has no commercial skipping
[00:01:10] directhex: commercial flagging is stored in the db, db access requires explicit mythtv support
[00:01:17] justinh: since I don't use livetv, ch+ & ch- are skip+ and skip- :)
[00:01:46] justinh: AFAIK there aren't any that can do arbitrary skips either

[00:03:11] GreyFoxx: directhex|bsp: I have a fix for what is likely causing the folder issues
[00:03:20] GreyFoxx: I just need to wait til my recortdings for tonight finish to test it
[00:03:32] justinh: how noisy is a PS3 anyway? somebody brought an xbox360 into work the other day & it made me forget all about the possibility of buying one for TV usage
[00:03:46] GreyFoxx: yeah the 360's are loud
[00:03:57] tank-man: 360 is way louder than ps3
[00:04:18] GreyFoxx: if I make as much progress tomorrow as I did today I might have the mkv/mp4 seeking done too, but I can't promise that
[00:05:04] justinh: anyway come the hud revolution in this house I'm going to need a bigger box for my frontend. That 1080 h.264 is gonna mean more cooling
[00:05:44] GreyFoxx: Now with the flatscreen and the projector I can really see the diff between HD and SD content
[00:05:49] GreyFoxx: the difference is amazing
[00:05:52] justinh: course, I could try making a new front panel for my LC02 of course
[00:06:12] justinh: then the dvd drive wouldn't stand a chance of touching the HSF

[00:09:43] directhex: the xbox 360 is mostly loud due to the optical drive
[00:11:01] justinh: and the fan
[00:11:18] justinh: never heard the drive spin up, so by gum it must get loud then
[00:11:37] justinh: and our lab ain't exactly the kind of place to hear a pin drop
[00:12:11] directhex: the ps3 gets noisy when it's hot
[00:12:22] directhex: but is fairly quiet when it's not
[00:12:34] justinh: fine, but does it get hot when playing h.264 BBC HD? ;)
[00:12:36] rcohen: is anyone aware of a problem recording audio with a plextor tv402u in recent svn?
[00:13:17] directhex: justinh, it doesn't get hot on 1080p h264 blu-ray, so presumably not
[00:13:55] justinh: heh. cool, in that case
[00:21:02] stowaway-atwork: i have 2 fans in my xbox360.
[00:21:05] stowaway-atwork: had to put another 1 in
[00:21:08] stowaway-atwork: bloody loud system

[00:33:03] xris: sure
[00:33:28] ** xris has nice deinterlaced 720i copies of planet earth downsampled from 1080i **
[00:33:53] xris: you wouldn't really want to go from 1080i to 720p... but 720p->720p would work

[02:54:51] Gumby (Gumby!n=gumby@unaffiliated/gumby) has joined #mythtv-users
[02:54:54] iamlindoro_: or torrentflux-b4rt for the fork with more options but is harder to use
[02:54:58] EnderTheThird: iamlindoro_: sounds familiar. I'm pretty sure that was it. thanks. you ever used it?
[02:55:20] iamlindoro_: yup, have used it. It's good but I seldom need BT so haven't got as much experience as some might

[02:59:44] EnderTheThird: appears to be set up alright. i was able to login as Administrator and adjust settings
[02:59:54] iamlindoro_: ivtv driver drives the radio, though, as /dev/radio0 usually
[03:00:20] johndbritton: iamlindoro_: perhaps enable isn't the best word, how can i use it? ive tried running the 'radio' command line utility but it gives a no such device error.
[03:00:58] iamlindoro_: johndbritton: Dunno, you'd probably need to install some radio application for linux and look into that-- it's sort of OT for myth
[03:01:24] johndbritton: it was looking at the wrong device did radio -c /dev/radio0 and it opened up... im not sure if i have sound yet though

[03:18:08] iamlindoro_: i mean, I still have it installed, just use it occasionally when I want to kick something off from work
[03:18:35] EnderTheThird: iamlindoro_: any idea why it'd give an invalid path for a download directory on a different HDD? I chmod'd 777 to it like it said, but it's still giving an invalid path error
[03:18:54] iamlindoro_: Oh. Hmm, no, I don't know, I download to the drive mounted at /, so I dunno

[03:56:06] levander: After you've ripped a DVD, what's the easiest way to go back and see what quality level you burned it at in MythArchive?
[03:56:22] whodat: tonight for instance.. i watched sarah connor chronicles. recorded from 10:00–11:00. i started watching it at 10:20. i think it didnt show as 2 hours until i went to forward past a commercial and it was past 11:00 so the show was done recording, but i was still watching it (since i was 20 min behind)
[03:56:51] iamlindoro_: whodat: like I said, known (and very old) bug
[03:57:24] iamlindoro_: since length is reckoned by # of frames divided by what myth perceives as the fps
[03:58:02] iamlindoro_: if you, for example, cut every single 29.97 fps frame out and leave only the 59.94 fps ones, the length will be correct
[03:59:03] whodat: ahh
[03:59:25] whodat: so how come the progress bar is correct when i play it again at a later time then?
[04:00:12] iamlindoro_: probably applies some logic to the completed recording that can't be applied to an in-progress one
[04:00:35] whodat: yah that makes sense
[04:00:57] whodat: so its prolly not fixed in .21

[04:02:09] levander: Is there any "what's new in 0.21" page anywhere?
[04:02:29] iamlindoro_: sure, right at the top of the front page of the wiki
[04:02:36] whodat: can you paste the url for this ticket?
[04:02:40] iamlindoro_: http://svn.mythtv.org/trac/ticket/799
[04:02:49] whodat: thx

[04:03:39] cesman: levander: http://mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/Release_Notes_-_0.21
[04:05:05] levander: Very little new features I'm interested in in 0.21. Have they released a bunch of bug fixes in it? Like maybe re-arranged a few things in the UI that are a little confusing?
[04:05:40] iamlindoro_: levander: there a literally hundreds of new things in .21... the big ones are the opengl video renderer from the mythtv-vid branch merge and multirec, to my mind
[04:06:00] iamlindoro_: but many many many bug fixes, flash streaming in mythweb, etc., etc.
[04:06:03] levander: What's multirec?
[04:06:27] levander: And, is opengl video renderer kind of like xvmc? Since opengl can be hardware accelerated?
[04:06:36] iamlindoro_: the ability to, when recording ATSC or DVB, record multiple channels when they exist on the same multiplex, with a single tuner
[04:06:44] levander: iamlindoro_: Yeah, I'm looking at the plugins. It looks like a lot of them have been updated.
[04:07:16] levander: How do I know if two channels are on the same multiplex?
[04:07:43] whodat: iam: interesting... "Actually I don't think they are. The temporary display of doubled length of a recording (when recording completes while you're watching the recording) is caused by the length reported by the recorder, which doesn't know the frame rate at all."
[04:07:44] iamlindoro_: if you change between them and myth reports "On same multiplex..." in the OSD
[04:07:59] Anduin: levander: or you can look at the channel table

[04:10:28] cesman: MythArchive doesn't rip DVDs
[04:11:10] cesman: MythArchive allows you to _archive_
[04:11:24] levander: Oh yeah, I meant MythDVD.

[04:17:58] iamlindoro_: whodat: That's one of those things that could be caused by about 100 slowness issues
[04:18:22] whodat: oh boy hehe
[04:18:32] iamlindoro_: and, like the NVP prebuffer pause, is a pain to nail down
[04:18:43] whodat: i upgraded to 2gig thinking that would help, it didnt.
[04:18:51] iamlindoro_: because it could be busy hard drive one time, slow tuning the next, etc.
[04:19:52] whodat: i know its not my proc, its a dual and always below 1.0 on top.

[06:10:01] xris: just on xmltv
[06:13:18] califdreas: ok, just wondering. I guess if I want to stay up-to-date, I should subscribe there too.
[06:14:17] xris: I plan to keep most of the conversation on that list, since it's the most appropriate place.
[06:15:27] califdreas: Anyway, you are proposing a project to ultimately make things like SD obsolete, or are we talking about supplemental information?
[06:16:21] xris: would love to make SD obsolete, but I doubt that would ever happen — there's too much other data that TMS has that we'll always need.
[06:16:31] xris: but TMS can't provide the channel artwork and other stuff like that.
[06:16:45] xris: nor is TMS fast enough to keep up with some local channel changes, etc.
[06:16:50] xris: (not to mention international info)
[06:18:14] califdreas: that makes sense. It shouldn't be too hard to come up with the information about the channels, though.
[06:18:25] califdreas: Much harder to keep the info well maintained.
[06:18:26] xris: right
[06:18:39] xris: channel info will also change a LOT less often
[06:18:54] xris: rather than hundreds/thousands of records daily, like program data
[06:19:29] califdreas: yep, I grew up with just four tv channels, and they never changed :P
[06:20:50] califdreas: so, not being a xmltv community member, I would still be interested in collection the data and keeping it in one place.
[06:22:13] xris: yup, that's my thought, too.. and xmltv seemed like the best umbrella to put it under

[07:21:58] ol_schoola: my brother scored a White & White some years ago. it was killed on his surprise 40th
[07:22:02] cafuego: mchou: I'm aiming for "The big lebowski". Am I far off? ;-)
[07:22:21] cafuego: mchou: Oh yeah. ABC wine. (Anything But Chardonnay)
[07:22:24] xris: heh, I've even had some ok merlots.  :)
[07:22:34] mchou: cafuego: never saw that movie. wouldnt know

[07:24:50] mchou: cafuego: as much as I might hate to admit it, I found nothing funny in a movie such as "There is something about Mary"
[07:25:15] xris: I went to school out there, and we've decided to make it a yearly venture. more remote than napa wine country, but MUCH MUCH better wine
[07:25:19] cafuego: mchou: That's because that's not a funny movie.
[07:25:21] ** ol_schoola admits it to **
[07:25:22] mchou: cafuego: movies like that never appeal to me
[07:25:29] cafuego: mchou: Coen brothers are soemwhat different.
[07:25:49] ol_schoola: i haven't even set up my pvr to capture analog cable yet
[07:25:59] mchou: Raising Arizona has been the only Coen Bro. movie I really liked
[07:26:22] ol_schoola: the atsc tuners are busy chewing up PBS shows (7 streams in my marketA)
[07:26:23] cafuego: xris: I'm a tad spoiled here, I live in Melbourne, surrounded on all sides by wine regions

[07:26:43] cafuego: heh, true
[07:27:30] ** xris is currently drinking a 2001 charles shaw cab sav. cost me $3 back then. found it in the garage. **

[07:28:58] xris: make a walla walla one your first if you get the chance.
[07:29:15] xris: russel creek wins my vote from our last trip, but it's one of dozens of good wineries.
[07:29:17] ol_schoola: i've heard very good things about the NW

[07:29:50] cafuego: Speaking of, I should pick a dinner to go with the wine

[07:30:30] mchou: nas-t
[07:30:31] xris: ol_schoola: I was impressed with the quality of the wine from this area... was never big into red wine before that trip, but it turned me into a wine snob.  :)
[07:31:01] ol_schoola: there's always a turning point. i haven't developed my sense for wines yet
[07:31:29] ol_schoola: the persistent oak overtones must be throwing it all off
[07:35:34] xris: ol_schoola: and I love oak. my favorite part of a good wine, red or whie.
[07:35:39] xris: well, depends on the wine. heh
[07:36:14] ol_schoola: that was a poor reference to my fondness of single malts ;)
[07:36:21] xris: ahh.. heh
[07:36:30] ol_schoola: but i'm getting there with wine
[07:36:33] ** xris ponders some of that, too... but I think one glass is plenty for tonight **
[07:36:48] xris: scotch, wine, rum, port, mead... it's all good.  :)
[07:36:55] mchou: Is mythphone still maintained, or is it dead?
[07:37:58] ol_schoola: i'm off to track down some obscure double bock to bring to Denver. and to think people used to drive Coors back to Chicago. oh the horror
[07:38:38] mchou: lol

[11:19:43] dserban: justinh: heh, yep. I've looked through the docs and can't tell what to do :( everything uses a serial homebrew adapter as a receiver, though... you may be right. I've probably missed something.
[11:19:44] justinh: same way you set it in any other linux. i.e. in xorg.conf
[11:20:13] str: /etc/X11/xorg.conf has no effect there is no XV86Config.4 and no xsetup wizard
[11:20:37] justinh: man xorg.conf ?
[11:20:56] str: i reduced the refresh rate and resolution already
[11:21:03] str: i dont think it is used
[11:21:23] str: /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[11:21:25] justinh: maybe bad EDID data from the monitor then
[11:21:40] justinh: need to make X & the video driver ignore it
[11:21:47] str: doesnt matter i've set it up heaps of times using xorg.conf
[11:22:06] justinh: oh well if it doesn't matter, you don't need any help. cheers
[11:22:31] str: not knoppmyth only knoppix debian ubuntu slax and redhat
[11:22:58] str: knoppmyth isnt liking the changes
[11:23:28] str: you would think it would be easy to choose a res that works with a television in knoppmyth
[11:24:08] str: 640x480 or 800x600 at 60hz im not picky at the moment
[11:27:32] str: Note: You'll still need to edit /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 to change the refresh rate or you CAN destroy your TV. / exciting (from knoppmyth FAQ)
[11:28:34] justinh: heh.
[11:29:41] directhex|work: ah, the days of TVs that don't just say "signal out of range"
[11:29:51] directhex|work: for that matter, the days of TVs with 4:3 resolutions!
[11:32:07] str: ok got it working just had to obliterate all modes except 800x600 @60 in my /etc/X11/xorg.conf about 70 or 80 lines no big deal
[11:33:57] justinh: anyway it's totally unlikely you can 'blow' any TV connected through a VGA card TV out. The onboard TV encoder generates the timing etc, it basically just converts & scales a VGA output to the selected TV standard

[14:22:56] Dibblah: Why? It's perfectly valid for their UI.
[14:23:18] Dibblah: Just because it brings up shortcomings in Myth's UI is no reason to hate it.
[14:23:25] Dagmar: _Their_ UI?
[14:23:35] Dagmar: Their UI for what, tho?
[14:23:43] Dibblah: Frontrow /...
[14:23:47] Dagmar: If you're playing a single, standalone video, sure it's fine.
[14:23:54] Dagmar: We, however, are not.
[14:24:14] Dagmar: PVR or not, there's still the viewing of live TV to be considered, and it requires more than six buttons.
[14:24:20] Dibblah: Okay. Take an example.
[14:24:40] Dibblah: Myth, pretty much the only way to select a channel is to type the name or go to the guide.
[14:24:56] Dibblah: The only way to sort this really is by number or by name.
[14:25:05] Dagmar: ...or just put chan+ or chan-
[14:25:10] Dagmar: s/put/push/;
[14:25:19] Dibblah: In most other live-tv-able things, you can bring up a menu of channel groups.
[14:25:47] Dibblah: ("DIY / Shopping / ...")
[14:25:48] Dagmar: Yes, complex navigation that has multiple axes behind it would require a special indicator.

[14:29:48] Dagmar: There's three axes involved (and I do mean the plural of 'axis') which kind of breaks using only six buttons.
[14:30:25] Dagmar: ...otherwise you have to drive people through menus they would not otherwise have to use simply _because_ six is just one button too short for a special exception button.

[14:33:33] Dagmar: You could do it with a minimum of eight buttons, but ten is somewhat the golden number for this.

[14:34:35] Dagmar: exactly.
[14:34:55] Dagmar: You COULD make it work with six buttons, but it would become awkward and people would have to slog through menus that they would otherwise have no need of.
[14:35:13] Dibblah: As with all things, it's a compromise.
[14:35:59] Dagmar: Mainly I see it as 'unreasonable people kvetching that their unreasonable idea isn't being lauded as the great stroke of genius their little minds have decided it is.
[14:36:08] jackson: Who started the six button topic anyhow? That's just stupid. If people invest in the hardware for a mythsetup, do they shoot themselves in the foot with a six button remote?

[14:45:04] |Torg|: where do you think the keyboard is now :)
[14:45:17] GreyFoxx: next to my old atari keyboard with the army of adapters to amke it work on modern systems
[14:45:26] jackson: GreyFoxx, if you don't need rf, have you seen the streamzap remotes?
[14:45:31] |Torg|: for mythtv, none. For using the tv as a really big computer monitor it works great
[14:46:10] Dibblah: The thing I beleive would advance Mythtv's setup is if lirc would just lay down and die ;)
[14:46:22] justinh: screw that
[14:46:27] |Torg|: Dibblah: exactly!
[14:46:31] jackson: lirc is fine once you wrap your head around it.
[14:46:37] justinh: nothing wrong with lirc. if people are too clueless to make it work that's their lookout
[14:46:41] Dibblah: That's the point.
[14:46:54] |Torg|: lirc is not user friendly,. it is hacker friendly tho
[14:47:06] Dibblah: Every single user of Myth has to go through the pain of an lirc initiation.
[14:47:09] |Torg|: problem is its too technical for common uses, too dull for advanced users
[14:47:20] justinh: Dibblah: seriously who gives a shit about users?
[14:47:33] directhex|work: lirc has a great design for the cutting edge 2.2 kernel
[14:47:37] Dagmar: Well, that's why I did all the cute little infographics
[14:47:38] Dibblah: devs = users / x.
[14:47:52] Dibblah: Where x is a bignum.
[14:48:01] Dagmar: Once people can "see" it working and can internalize what things happen and in what order, typically their problems go right away if they have any kind of science skills
[14:48:07] justinh: Dibblah: that doesn't answer the question
[14:48:14] Dibblah: Yes, it does.
[14:48:29] Dibblah: More good devs == good.
[14:48:36] PatrickDK: what lirc needs, is just a nice interface, that is like the keyboard editor
[14:48:47] PatrickDK: you press the button on the remote and it assigns it to that function
[14:48:50] justinh: ok then who's working for some kind of altruistic vision of utopian bliss? works for me, and that's enough
[14:48:51] Dibblah: lirc needs shot in the head.
[14:49:12] |Torg|: PatrickDK: the priblem is there is no standard IR remote protocall, its sorta like "ill just make up some off the wall binary string adn call it a remote"
[14:49:18] Dibblah: Entomb it in the input layer.
[14:49:30] |Torg|: IR remotes need standard, this is standard play, this is standrad stop, etc
[14:49:40] Dibblah: That's RC-5.
[14:49:47] justinh: if they'd decided from day one to call buttons standard things & use button codes like keyboards do, the whole thing would be a lot less painful
[14:49:47] PatrickDK: heh? I thought it could detect what was being sent to it
[14:49:53] Dibblah: And owned by Philips.
[14:49:55] PatrickDK: I'm sure it did for how I programed mine
[14:50:01] |Torg|: IF you have fromaing, IF you know there stop bits, yes
[14:50:09] justinh: |Torg|: not even that
[14:50:13] |Torg|: its why the lirc setup wants you to press a button over and over and over
[14:50:37] justinh: get lirc to output codes from 0 – 255, and let the app learn the buttons ?
[14:51:43] justinh: the real problem with lirc is the extra layer of complexity it needlessly adds
[14:51:53] |Torg|: I dunno really , I set up lirc long before dvrs existed. I did it mostly as a sience project. I spent hours teaching it what each button was, but in the end it had no real use that a keyboard could not do
[14:52:01] justinh: turns ir codes into another code, which an app then reads to use it
[14:52:09] |Torg|: I wanted a wireless keyboard, so when the RF keybaords came out I dropped lirc like a rock
[14:52:22] justinh: nothing beats an all in one remote
[14:52:32] DGnome: remote ft
[14:52:34] justinh: you can't turn your tv volume down with a wireless keyboard
[14:52:56] |Torg|: I can, I just dont

[15:20:27] Wonka: I scheduled two series for recording, the second aired directly after the first. this channel likes to start airing too early or stop too late, and doesn't seem to send some sort of marker on when to start (would this be used anyway?), so I set it to record 5 min early and late.

[16:02:30] |Torg|: Channelup is up, channeldown is down, pageup is 3 pagedown is 9
[16:02:31] beakster: Help please. My mythtv works fine, but ive just been on the roof installing a new antenna
[16:02:46] beakster: i need to know what the Signal, BE and S/N should read
[16:02:55] beakster: so I can turn the aerial to get the best signal
[16:03:04] |Torg|: beakster: it depends GREATLY on your card
[16:03:20] iamlindoro: PatrickDK, It makes sense to me that the guide should have its own cotext, so it should be a matter of setting the context to the appropriate one, and then bind the key like normal
[16:03:24] iamlindoro: er context
[16:03:32] |Torg|: I can tell you what they mean, but just about every chip out there displays them differntly
[16:03:50] beakster: |Torg| what should I be looking for while Im turning the aerial
[16:03:58] PatrickDK: heh, I can't find it anywhere
[16:04:01] beakster: should i be looking for the highest signal %?
[16:04:07] beakster: and the lowest S/N?
[16:04:35] |Torg|: beakster: signal, it may be doubbled, for example mine is in 2 hex digits XXZZ where ZZ=XX
[16:04:54] |Torg|: and SNR depends on chip, some show ber and unc as well
[16:05:14] beakster: i think both have Connexant chips
[16:05:41] beakster: currently i have "Signal 29% S/N 4.8dB BE going crazy
[16:05:54] |Torg|: ber?
[16:06:01] beakster: lookslike BE is scanning though all numbers between 0 and 999
[16:06:04] |Torg|: and what kind of card is this?
[16:06:06] beakster: not ber, BE
[16:06:31] beakster: Leadtek DTV 1000
[16:06:33] justinh: bit error
[16:06:44] beakster: oh, so BE should be as low as possible?
[16:06:50] |Torg|: signal, signal to noise, bit erro, uncorrected error
[16:06:51] justinh: myers
[16:07:12] beakster: no uncorrected error on mine, just (L) Lock
[16:07:17] beakster: and sometimes partial lock
[16:07:29] justinh: signal, signal to noise should both be as high as possible – though drivers have been unknown to lie & turn them upside down
[16:07:30] |Torg|: lock is goo, partial lock is not, you signal is very low

[16:10:30] beakster: ive just been turning it
[16:10:44] beakster: the signal varied from 22% to 32% so i locked it as 32%
[16:10:58] |Torg|: if you tune the antenna make sure it is not 180 degrees off
[16:11:12] |Torg|: do you use a preamp?

[16:14:17] |Torg|: Signifiant Other
[16:14:21] beakster: i turned aerial to get best signal %
[16:14:30] beakster: which was 32%
[16:14:47] |Torg|: just chekcing, ive known people who tune it , climb down, check, climb up, repeat
[16:15:08] |Torg|: if 32% is truly your signal strnght you will need a preamp
[16:15:51] beakster: I have an amplifier/splitter next to the media centre
[16:15:55] beakster: its not connected right now
[16:16:05] beakster: but the plan was to use that to split signal to 2 TV cards
[16:16:05] |Torg|: apt it at the source, not at the end
[16:16:09] beakster: its powered by Mains
[16:16:19] beakster: ok, I have no power on the roof tho
[16:16:31] PatrickDK: according to the source code, the guide uses 'TV Frontend'
[16:17:36] beakster: can i get a preamp that doesn't need power to put on the roof?
[16:17:49] jblack: That reminds me. I couldn't find a company that still installs antennas.
[16:17:59] |Torg|: no but you can get one that is powred by coax
[16:18:09] beakster: oh, i've just unplugged antenna and signal goes to 100%
[16:18:11] PatrickDK: all preamps need power, get a outside one and it will do it
[16:18:16] beakster: but no picture obviously
[16:18:32] beakster: could this mean that when I saw 22% it was actually a better signal than 32%?
[16:18:48] beakster: like u said about drivers turning signals upsidedown
[16:19:02] |Torg|: like justinh said, some lie
[16:19:12] |Torg|: mine tells me my SNR is over 100% all the time
[16:19:24] beakster: ok, so u think i should go turn it 180 degrees?
[16:19:48] |Torg|: its posible you hav it backwards adn are reasong the reflections and not the real signal
[16:20:31] beakster: ok, back up on the roof then. thats for the help, i'll let u know how i get on if i dont fall off and die
[16:20:43] |Torg|: and if you need to aim it in two differnt directions you can either get a rotator or use 2 antennas and mux them
[16:22:24] |Torg|: status 1f | signal ffff | snr 7090 | ber 00000000 | unc 00000000 | FE_HAS_LOCK thats an overammped signal, screwed up the AFT but signal is ok
[16:22:51] |Torg|: status 1f | signal 9393 | snr 4ce7 | ber 00000000 | unc 00000000 | FE_HAS_LOCK thats a "normal channel"

[17:39:01] beakster: |Torg| I sorted it! :)
[17:39:12] beakster: The antenna prob
[17:39:19] beakster: it seems low signal % is best
[17:39:20] |Torg|: beakster: so what was it?
[17:39:26] beakster: and i got the BE to 0 on all channels
[17:39:43] |Torg|: so your tunging data is inverse?
[17:39:47] beakster: i switched the aerial 180 degrees, that made some channels better, but some channels worse
[17:39:55] beakster: so then i rescanned channels
[17:39:59] beakster: and they are all perfect
[17:40:13] beakster: there are 2 transmitters here, so i think i was getting some from one and some from another
[17:40:40] beakster: but once switching it to the other one and rescanning it must have been getting them all from there, as opposed to before where some were the reflection
[17:40:44] beakster: thanks for the advice
[17:41:20] |Torg|: np, it took me a while to set mine correctly. I still have issues with one staiotns seems the bordcast only in one direction on HD and omnidirectional on analog
[17:41:34] beakster: what country are u in?

I am trying to record video from an ULTRAK kq7300cn quad processor.

[19:14:17] ARfdee: if i type mythbackend, it starts, but if i use the script, it has problems

[19:15:07] ARfdee: iamlindoro: as i said, the SCRIPT does not work, but running the binary does
[19:15:25] ARfdee: apparently there's a problem with the f8 mythbackend script in /etc/rc.d/init.d
[19:15:28] ARfdee: for .20.2
[19:15:40] ARfdee: cuz if i run /usr/bin/mythbackend it works fine
[19:15:53] Anduin: or a stale lock file
[19:15:58] ARfdee: Anduin: that file is not even there
[19:16:05] Dagmar: Whose script?
[19:16:07] iamlindoro: ARfdee, first off, thanks for the caps, second off, the script runs backend as a different user than you're trying to run mythbackend binary as
[19:16:11] ARfdee: that lock file, and see, it also gets an error about opening video device, etc
[19:16:27] Dagmar: Wait, what do I care anyway. Forget I said anything.
[19:17:02] ARfdee: iamlindoro: this just started after a recent upgrade of the myth rpms, it seems
[19:17:05] ARfdee: like, the one from yesterday
[19:17:14] ARfdee: the script had been working fine for months

[19:17:51] Dagmar: Another giant clue
[19:18:12] ARfdee: |Torg|: .... again, i know it's a problem with the script

[19:19:08] ARfdee: Dagmar: you're always a jerk to people in here, so i don't expect anything from you
[19:19:10] Dagmar: This is a bug you should report to the people who maintain that init script.
[19:19:29] Dagmar: ARfdee: You can get stuffed, noob. I was TRYING to be nice and forgive you being a jackass two days ago.
[19:19:44] ARfdee: Dagmar: no, you made your typical condescending and obnoxious comments right after i came in
[19:19:50] Dagmar: Looks like there's no point in that.
[19:19:55] ARfdee: right, so, why are you talking?
[19:20:19] Dagmar: /ignore arfdee all perm
[19:20:24] ARfdee: thank you!
[19:20:46] ARfdee: |Torg|: i had thought perhaps others in the channel were using the atrpms myth, so they might have been familiar with what broke in the new version
[19:20:48] ARfdee: and how to fix it
[19:21:00] Dagmar: There's just no way in hell something like that error on line 30 should happen unless something's gone horribly, horribly wrong.
[19:21:30] ARfdee: atrpms just released a new version of some of the myth rpms last night and this happened after that, in terms of the script
[19:21:36] ARfdee: everything else seems to work still, though
[19:21:39] Dagmar: Someone's apparently been attempting to do something "clever" with shell variable assignment.  :/
[19:21:44] |Torg|: well a guess here, since I dont use redhat is that that init script somehow sets up some enviroment virables, one of which is the user it runs at, and fails to do so

[19:23:05] ARfdee: that seems to be the problem
[19:23:25] directhex: that looks like some rather dodgy shell scriptage to me
[19:23:38] ARfdee: im just confused why they changed it in the new rpm
[19:23:53] |Torg|: looks like they meant ${MYTHTV_HOME}=/var/lib/mythtv and misplaced a }
[19:24:02] |Torg|: id ditch the stupid init script and write my own
[19:24:05] Dagmar: To get bash to cough up that specific message, it has to be handed something like "export /var/lib/mythtv" as a line which means someone MIGHT have been trying to do something fancy like "eval export $VARNAME=blah" but I've no idea how it could lose the = unless that line in the script is really, really fouled up

[19:46:18] ARfdee: |Torg|: what? i said the script was buggy
[19:46:25] ARfdee: i just had to get a working one
[19:46:36] ARfdee: i didn't need to change anything with the shells, etc.
[19:47:10] |Torg|: look when I tol dyou to fix the init script you wanted it to be debugged, so I attempoted to determine what in the hell was wrong with it
[19:47:28] |Torg|: I told you origionally to go rewrite it, why I asked how long you have used linux
[19:47:47] Dagmar: Better watch it. You're on the border of implying he doesn't know something.
[19:47:56] ARfdee: Dagmar: you apparently don't know something
[19:47:59] |Torg|: I wasnt the ONLY one that told you that either, but still you ran off and wanted to do it
[19:48:01] ARfdee: because you told me all these other issues that had nothing to do with it
[19:48:06] ARfdee: i ran off and wanted to do what?
[19:48:17] ARfdee: torg, i told you the script was buggy and fixing the script would solve the other things
[19:48:31] |Torg|: [13:24] <|Torg|> id ditch the stupid init script and write my own
[19:48:41] ARfdee: |Torg|: or i could get a working one as this one is buggy
[19:48:42] |Torg|: [13:25] <Dagmar> Something has to be really bad wrong for that message to appear
[19:48:45] ARfdee: which is what worked
[19:48:58] ARfdee: |Torg|: yeah, then dagmar and the other guy started saying the other things that were wrong with the system
[19:49:03] ARfdee: of which they were not, just the script had a problem
[19:49:13] ARfdee: |Torg|: i had said about 5 times that the script was broken upon coming in here
[19:49:38] |Torg|: then why didnt you rewrite it?
[19:49:39] ARfdee: Dagmar: i take it you're not going to admit you were incorrect about it being other things
[19:49:43] ARfdee: i didn't rewrite it
[19:49:50] ARfdee: |Torg|: did y ou not see the url i pasted to you?
[19:49:57] ARfdee: http://svn.mythtv.org/trac/browser/trunk/myth . . . .mythbackend
[19:50:00] ARfdee: i didn't rewrite that
[19:50:05] Dagmar: because he doesn't know how.
[19:50:17] |Torg|: I know you didnt rewrite it, I know you found it in the svn
[19:50:29] ARfdee: |Torg|: why would i rewrite it if there's already a fixed one online?
[19:50:36] visit0r: yeah, no help. AC3 to SPDIF is broken for me.
[19:50:43] visit0r: ticket filing time
[19:50:49] |Torg|: you could have taken any one of a number of init scripts on that box and with little modification gotten it to work
[19:51:07] ARfdee: |Torg|: or, i could just get a working one because the one i had had a bug
[19:51:22] |Torg|: and stil not understand how it works, yes you can
[19:51:39] ARfdee: torg, there's a post that explains how things changed in the script recently

[19:51:54] ARfdee: dinking around with it and wondering what changed is silly
[19:51:59] ARfdee: you may as well just get the new version
[19:52:29] |Torg|: me? I do have my own verison, compiled my own mythtv too, even patchit from time to time when I test out my ATSC cards
[19:52:36] |Torg|: making a init script is trivial, if you know how
[19:52:56] ARfdee: |Torg|: again, if one is already provided and you only need the functionality it provides, why would you make your own?
[19:52:58] ARfdee: why not just use the default one?
[19:53:04] ARfdee: in this case, the default one had broken from the last version
[19:53:09] ARfdee: so i just got the newer version of it and it worked fine
[19:53:19] ARfdee: you don't need to reinvent the wheel, that's silly
[19:53:22] |Torg|: becase ther eis no DEFAULT one, al the rpms you get are someones OPPIOION of how to run it
[19:53:40] ARfdee: |Torg|: that's a contributed one on svn, it works
[19:53:48] ARfdee: it's going to be the one included in the next fedora packages
[19:53:52] |Torg|: then why are you complaining?
[19:54:02] ARfdee: who is complaining? you are wondering why i didn't spend the time to rewrite one
[19:54:37] ARfdee: |Torg|: sometimes packages do have buggy scripts in them
[19:55:08] |Torg|: they shouldnt, they shoudnt brake other things
[19:55:17] ARfdee: you could spend the time trying to figure out what they are every time
[19:55:21] ARfdee: or you could just get the update
[19:55:35] ARfdee: eh? break other things?
[19:55:38] ARfdee: well, this conversation has been fun

[20:29:53] |Torg|: the point was if you seperate the BE from the FE where to put the most power

[20:30:52] jackson: xbox only has what, 64MB's of RAM?
[20:31:17] dm-madman: well the frontend is more or less a thin client, isn't it
[20:31:39] iamlindoro: the frontend needs more processor than the backend, in general-- it's doing all the playback work.
[20:31:59] dm-madman: makes sense...my pvr encodes for the backend
[20:32:00] iamlindoro: The backend can be a comparitively low-end box with decent tuners
[20:32:25] dm-madman: i know it does at least part of the encoding in hardware
[20:32:43] iamlindoro: thus, the frontends aren't *really* thin clients as such, they need some muscle... that's particularly so if you're dealing with any HD
[20:33:14] sn9: thin client frontend == hauppauge mediamvp
[20:33:17] dm-madman: so anyway, an xbox would be a really cheap solution for the client end, but i'm wondering if it will work well

[20:33:59] dm-madman: ok, that makes sense too, because the client is doing all the decoding
[20:34:04] |Torg|: again, adding to what iamlindoro was saying a FE for SD can be a number of things, some of the media players work well. But cant do HD, even close
[20:34:34] dm-madman: so if i want to do HD I should probably go ahead and build a microatx system
[20:34:50] jackson: *i* never found the xbox to be a suitable frontend. When running linux and mythfrontend, 64MB's really sucks and is slow. When using the XBMC scripts, well, they were never compatible with the backend versions that I had ran.
[20:35:05] |Torg|: HD will requre a decient video card, a dual core cpu and about a gig of memory
[20:35:24] iamlindoro: Not having done it myself, I'm told the xbmc mythtv scripts are a better, lighter-weight solution for myth if you're only dealing with SD and absolutely *have* to make the Xbox your frontend
[20:35:39] dm-madman: and even for the SD an xbox is not likely a good solution
[20:36:40] dm-madman: i was thinking i might save 100 bucks or so using an xbox, but it's not worth it if it's going to be a headache
[20:37:42] |Torg|: http://www.hauppauge.com/pages/products/data_mediamvp.html
[20:38:00] |Torg|: thats an example of one of the things people use to play SD
[20:38:16] |Torg|: I have a DSM-320 that works via UPNP, altho I dont record much SD any more

[20:40:10] EnderTheThird: hmmm, svn ./configure isn't enabling lirc support for some reason
[20:41:34] dm-madman: I found a microatx board with a built in S-Video and DVI port that fits a dual core processor. I was thinking of using that
[20:42:16] iamlindoro: As a word of advice, i'd make very sure the GPU isn't ATI, as it tends to be on those things
[20:42:45] dm-madman: It's an nvidia card and it's supported by the proprietery drivers

[20:50:30] iamlindoro: He thinks you're follin
[20:50:32] iamlindoro: er foolin
[20:50:41] |Torg|: they are called dvb cards and depend on your source of HD signal
[20:51:01] sn9: dm-madman: the only possible option for satellite hd in the usa is the hauppauge hd-pvr
[20:51:02] Jared555: is there some way to integrate mythtv with other PVR systems? (at least to the point of being able to automate the ability to view recordings from the other box on the mythtv systems)
[20:51:21] |Torg|: nexus and nova cards work too
[20:51:38] sn9: Jared555: mythvideo
[20:52:10] iamlindoro: Jared555, you can watch things recorded ON mythtv in lots of devices... watching recordings from other PVRs, however, is nigh impossible
[20:52:15] Jared555: that or can mythtv 'emulate' windows media center so that MCE extenders will work?
[20:52:31] GreyFoxx: Jared555: There is no MCE Extender layer
[20:53:00] Jared555: can't tivo share its recordings with other tivo's in the same house?
[20:53:01] GreyFoxx: and nothing I know off offhand for accessing content from mother PVR's unless you can share the data from the other system like a samba/nfs share and use mythvideo
[20:53:23] GreyFoxx: Jared555: They have some mechanism for that yeah
[20:53:41] GreyFoxx: I don't know how public the method of doing it is however
[20:53:58] dm-madman: I'm just going to replace all my DVRs with myth frontends
[20:54:08] sn9: Jared555: if you can extract video from a tivo the old (pre-official) way, mythvideo could likely play it
[20:54:26] Jared555: my thought was mainly.... if I have to buy a cable box to use digital cable on mythtv..... why not use it's PVR functionality? lol
[20:54:29] |Torg|: shaing of video is something either the providers (the ones who sel the dvrs) dont want or they ones you dont want you to watch it elsewhere strgongarm the makers to deny you fiar access to it
[20:54:39] |Torg|: dishnet and comcast dvrs are like that
[20:54:55] |Torg|: if you CAN talk to a tivo without antoehr tivo its by hacking it
[20:55:12] |Torg|: and if you have one of the old replaytvs you have to have a legay system to share it

[22:35:20] ChrisSmol: most likely no at first, an older CRT, i think it as s-video input, i need to check.
[22:35:53] sn9: ok, because recent sets also have vga in, eliminating the need for a tv encoder altogether
[22:36:49] Gokee2_Laptop: Is there any wiki page that talks about recording profiles and how much space options (like KBPS) take up? I found http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/Recording_Parameters but it does not have space in the table at all!
[22:36:53] ChrisSmol: what about the Sabrent video capture cards?
[22:36:56] directhex: sn9, i think it's a safe bet someone looking at gf2 hasn't got an lcd hdtv
[22:37:30] sn9: i've seen vga in on crt tv sets since 1985
[22:37:41] ChrisSmol: if i find this to be useful, i might set up a system on an lcd hdtv we have one day
[22:37:52] directhex: ChrisSmol, if you want a decent experience with analog, you want a card with on-board mpeg2 encoder (hauppauge pvr series). cheaper analog cards, 'frame grabbers', have several downsides
[22:38:03] ChrisSmol: like the 150?
[22:38:06] directhex: sn9, so why did you say vga was linked to 'recent'ness? is 1985 recent for tvs?
[22:38:14] directhex: ChrisSmol, precisely like the 150
[22:38:23] ChrisSmol: ok, i know that will reduce the cpu requirements
[22:38:24] sn9: directhex: because it was rare then, but not now

[22:43:54] sn9: ChrisSmol: if you have an hdtv, it almost certainly has vga in. if you have cable, your best bet is firewire, but only if it works for you
