[00:09:20] mkrufky: i dont know how to get a list, but you can cycle through them by pressing Y
[00:11:06] sirbob: Oh, and has anyone set up a DCH3416?

[00:47:19] GreyFoxx: if you don't have mythtv-setup then you are missing something
[00:48:05] nomin: "No setting found for this machine's BackendServerIP. Please run setup on this machine and modify the first page of the general settings."
[00:49:58] GreyFoxx: you seen to run mythtv-setup to configure that
[00:49:59] nomin: oh, it's a separate package now
[00:50:11] GreyFoxx: *sigh* stupid packages

[01:15:23] unstable: or even better, play some low music and black the screen, while the commercial plays.
[01:15:45] J-e-f-f-A|wintel: unstable: Umm... Why? Just have it auto-skip the commercials...
[01:15:50] nevyn: umm why not just use commercial flagging?
[01:16:01] unstable: J-e-f-f-A|wintel: What about when I'm watching live?
[01:16:20] J-e-f-f-A|wintel: unstable: Why watch live? ;-)
[01:17:54] unstable: Because I want to watch live.
[01:19:16] J-e-f-f-A|wintel: unstable: Then, no. Myth doesn't know where the commercials are until they're scanned with the comm flagging process...

[01:30:12] doug: I'm running mythtv 0.20.2 with kernel 2.6.24.4 just fine. When I tried to upgrade to kernel 2.6.25, it appears to break mythtv. When I try to watch TV, the backend just hangs....can't kill it either. Have to finally reboot
[01:30:47] doug: Same thing happens with 0.21. Anyone else experience this problem with the new kernel 2.6.25? Any ideas on how to fix it?

[01:35:22] Agrajag-: doug: where does the backend hang? do other apps that use your tv tuner work?
[01:37:25] doug: Agrajag-: Well, the backend gives the indication that it is switching the tuner to record, like it always does, then just hangs. No TV is ever presented, and the frontend ultimately goes back to the menu. However, you can't kill off the backend process, even if closing the console it was started in.
[01:37:26] unstable: J-e-f-f-A|wintel: Is there a way to have comm flagging process check in live time?
[01:38:01] stoth (stoth!n=stoth@ool-18bfe594.dyn.optonline.net) has quit ("Leaving")
[01:38:07] doug: Leaves it as a zombie/defunct process, then you can't restart a backend due to the socket still being bound to the original, failed backend.
[01:38:22] doug: TVtime runs just fine with the tuner under 2.6.25.
[01:39:30] J-e-f-f-A|wintel: unstable: Sort-of, with a fast cpu that can do it in real-time, but it also uses the length of the commercials to detect them, so that it doesn't confuse a dark scene with a commercial, so not like you want it to...
[01:39:44] doug: The tuner is a WinTV Go tuner card.
[01:40:08] hadeeees (hadeeees!n=hadees@cpe-72-177-33-43.austin.res.rr.com) has joined #mythtv-users
[01:40:23] J-e-f-f-A|wintel: unstable: Realistically, you'd have to be a little bit behind 'real-time' to have it detect/flag a commercial to skip, and tnen you'd probably catch up to live again, and it wouldn't work for the next one...
[01:40:32] doug: I should note that the TV tuner card is located in my desktop, running a secondary backend, and the primary backend is on my server.
[01:41:19] squish102: if i have the time of the recording invalid, and FF jumps all over the place and then suddenly to the end. should i run a "mythcommflag --all --rebuild" to fix it?
[01:41:39] doug: When this happens, the primary backend says something about the connection to the secondary backup is lost.

[01:55:58] Kurtism: hello
[01:56:10] Josh_: What is the suggested tuner for Digital broadcast in the US in a box with only PCI slots?
[01:56:29] Josh_: it seems that the HVR-1600 isn't supported by mythtv, and the 1800 is only PCI-E
[01:56:39] Kurtism: is it possible to use mythtv with an ati radeon x800 pro?
[01:57:06] Josh_: Kurtism, are you planning to use TV-Out, or just CRT/LCD monitor?
[01:57:14] Kurtism: just the dvi out
[01:57:24] Kurtism: so I guess that would be vga
[01:57:38] Josh_: Kurtism, I dont' see why not, I'm running on a Geforce FX5200
[01:57:49] Josh_: the x800 is a LOT better than the FX200

[02:00:00] Josh_: Kurtism, does it seem like it's losing the channel lock on the tuner, or mabye the video card isn't using hardware rendering?
[02:00:06] J-e-f-f-A|wintel: Josh_: For ATSC, I use both a PCHDTV HD3000 and a HD5500...
[02:00:15] Kurtism: I think the video card isn't using hardware rendering
[02:00:21] PatrickDK: don't let iamlindoro hear you say fta
[02:00:44] ** iamlindoro_ cracks his knuckles and gets ready for a round of corrections **
[02:00:53] Kurtism: the channel lock is there for sure but the video gets all wacky like it can't keep up with the stream of data or something
[02:01:05] Josh_: J-e-f-f-A|wintel, I don't see those on the wiki, lemme look
[02:01:22] iamlindoro_: First off, the HVR 1600 is now supported and will work fine in Myth, just requires that you get update your linuxtv hg drivers
[02:01:43] iamlindoro_: secondly, do *not* ry to use ATI with Myth, ATI themselves state that MythTV is unsupported with their cards
[02:01:51] Kurtism: dang
[02:01:54] Kurtism: that sucks
[02:01:56] iamlindoro_: thirdly, there is no hardware acceleration of any kind on ATI cards in linux
[02:02:18] iamlindoro_: an FX 5200 is a faaaaaar better choice than any ATI card for Myth
[02:02:27] Kurtism: I see
[02:02:47] Kurtism: so I should get a different card.... I wonder if my onboard video is capable of displaying it.
[02:02:57] J-e-f-f-A|wintel: Heck, a 'legacy' GeForce 4 is better than an ATI card!  ;-)
[02:02:58] Josh_: Do they make a Dual Tuner (both digital) card for ATSC?
[02:03:12] iamlindoro_: The HDHomeRun
[02:03:13] PatrickDK: not that I have seen
[02:03:22] iamlindoro_: not a card, but dual tuner
[02:03:22] PatrickDK: I haven't check the hdhomerun :)
[02:03:49] iamlindoro_: Now back to Hockey, go Sharks!
[02:04:07] Josh_: Weird, RJ45 ethernet dual tuner
[02:04:14] Kurtism: unofficially has anybody managed to get mythtv working with their ati x800?
[02:04:30] Kurtism: or is it completely impossible at this point
[02:05:37] PatrickDK: heh, I think that is nice :)
[02:05:44] PatrickDK: better than running full backends
[02:06:19] PatrickDK: kurtism, I'm sure it's *possible*
[02:06:33] PatrickDK: but it's probably not going be pretty, and the osd is probably not going work at all
[02:07:05] Kurtism: well so far I have gotten the osd to work, the only problem is the display of actual video is all slow and glitchy
[02:07:33] PatrickDK: ya, drivers can't support the fast enough video stream
[02:07:41] Josh_: J-e-f-f-A|wintel, is this what you use? http://cgi.ebay.com/BBTI-Technisat-AirStar-HD . . . cmdZViewItem
[02:07:43] iamlindoro_: That's more or less par for the course with ATI-- there's no Xv in the ATI drivers, so it's analogous to running it with the VESA driver
[02:07:44] PatrickDK: your screwed
[02:08:20] PatrickDK: heh, the hdhomerun isn't even a bad price
[02:08:28] Kurtism: thanks
[02:09:42] J-e-f-f-A|wintel: Josh_: No – http://pchdtv.com  — I've got an older HD3000, and a newer HD5500
[02:09:54] Josh_: oh, ok
[02:12:01] J-e-f-f-A|wintel: Josh_: Sorry – I should have given you the link earlier... I'm working on my myth box atm... so doing a couple of things at once... ;-)

[02:19:00] Kurtism: I just read that xv is no longer updated
[02:19:08] Kurtism: since 1994

[02:22:41] leprechau: yeah I know I can generate mplayer playlists
[02:22:42] PatrickDK: then do something like for .pls files, run mplayer --playlist %s

[02:22:51] Kurtism: ah I see
[02:22:58] PatrickDK: hehe :)

[02:24:51] leprechau: and now I just avimerge em before dropping them in my media share
[02:25:05] leprechau: but If i could playlist them with my remote I wouldn't have to do that
[02:25:07] PatrickDK: heh? downloading crap bittorent
[02:25:32] leprechau: ohh no....not torrent
[02:25:38] J-e-f-f-A|wintel: iamlindoro: Almost got my new system fully up & running... ;-) All the data is preserved, and all the recordings... now just to check that the tuners are setup right, and I have the disks mounted right at boot...
[02:25:49] iamlindoro: J-e-f-f-A|wintel: Nice, must be a relief
[02:26:40] J-e-f-f-A|wintel: iamlindoro: Yeah... It'll be nice to have it all up and running 100% again... ;-) With 2.5TB of recording space too... ;-)
[02:27:42] J-e-f-f-A|wintel: iamlindoro: I do have to move my shelf down 2" from the cieling though — this monolith case doesn't fit between the cieling and the shelf... ;-)

[02:31:31] J-e-f-f-A|wintel: iamlindoro: Do you think my current 600W supply will be sufficient for 10 HDD's? That's a total of less than 10A for the 12v side and 6A for 5V, and the supply is rated at 36A for 12v and 30A for 5v ....
[02:32:13] iamlindoro: J-e-f-f-A|wintel: I think it'll probably be fine, but I suppose it's anyone's guess
[02:32:21] J-e-f-f-A|wintel: iamlindoro: So that leave 26A of 12v power and 24A of 5v power for the motherboard and cards, and
[02:32:24] PatrickDK: what kind of cpu?

[02:36:12] PatrickDK: I seem to be doing power budget plans for stuff all the time
[02:36:17] J-e-f-f-A|wintel: PatrickDK: I was blown away when I heard that you can use SATA drives with SAS controllers... At first I thought the guy telling me it was stupid, but after I researched it, I was surprised... Makes sense though...
[02:37:12] J-e-f-f-A|wintel: PatrickDK: Now if I could only come up with the $800+ for a SAS raid controller... ;-) Nah, I'll spend it on other hardware first... ;-)

[02:40:07] J-e-f-f-A|wintel: PatrickDK: Yeah, I would do raid10, but chose to have the extra disk space with raid5... currently 3x500GB, adding my old 3x500GB to it too to bring it up to ~2.5TB... ;-)
[02:41:39] PatrickDK: heh, I almost completely hate raid5
[02:41:52] PatrickDK: I do have one raid5 setup, that I will do away with when I can
[02:42:12] PatrickDK: but that is actually 9 drives, 3 drives per raid5, and then those 3 raid0, so a raid50 setup
[02:42:36] PatrickDK: I really hate the fact that a single drive failure slows it down to 20% of it's normal speed
[02:43:40] J-e-f-f-A|wintel: PatrickDK: Yeah, I hear ya... I'll probably switch over to raid 10 when I can afford more drives... ;-)
[02:44:00] GreyFoxx: why would you do a raid5 of just 3 drives ??
[02:44:22] GreyFoxx: You loose 1 drive for parity
[02:44:31] GreyFoxx: why not a raid5 or 4 or 5 drives ?
[02:44:42] PatrickDK: like I said, raid5 sucks
[02:44:47] PatrickDK: so a large raid5 array just sucks more
[02:44:52] GreyFoxx: pfft
[02:44:56] PatrickDK: 1 drive fails
[02:45:01] PatrickDK: drive speed goes down 80%
[02:45:10] PatrickDK: server is overloaded like hell now
[02:45:12] GreyFoxx: Can't say I've Ever noticed the speed differential you describe
[02:45:12] J-e-f-f-A|wintel: GreyFoxx: I only had 3x500's initially... But I bought 3 more for the new system..
[02:45:48] J-e-f-f-A|wintel: GreyFoxx: So that'll bring it up to 6...
[02:45:55] PatrickDK: greyfoxx, you must get lucky, and do sequentual reads, and it fits in the buffer
[02:46:34] GreyFoxx: PatrickDK: I use software raid5 on dozens (and over the years hundreds) or servers including mail servers serving 40k+ clients and never run into the problem you describe
[02:46:52] GreyFoxx: I must be quite lucky :)
[02:46:57] PatrickDK: I have never run software raid
[02:47:01] GreyFoxx: ahh ok
[02:47:17] GreyFoxx: I've been unhappy with every single hardware raid experience I've ever had
[02:47:21] PatrickDK: always been hardware, or netapp/emc
[02:48:26] PatrickDK: I dunno how many email clients I'm handling
[02:48:34] PatrickDK: I know it's 19k domains now
[02:49:16] GreyFoxx: Our current setup at work is going 60k clients, was 40 last I checked. hurray for growth
[02:49:51] iamlindoro_: Kurtism: to answer your question from #linuxtv, yes, there used to be, but I haven't heard of anyone doing it for a very long time so who knows if it still works.
[02:50:03] Kurtism: interesting
[02:50:50] iamlindoro_: Anyone tried Myth fb support in the last... um, ever? Kurtism wants to know if it still works.
[02:51:22] iamlindoro_: It is by far a simpler solution just to spend $30 on an cheap Nvidia card and stop trying to wrestle with ATI
[02:51:57] Kurtism: yeah, true enough... do you know of any good cards with hdmi ports on them that will work?
[02:52:15] Kurtism: so I can output 720p video
[02:52:19] Kurtism: or even 1080p
[02:52:58] iamlindoro_: Why not buy a card with DVI and just use a DVI-HDMI cable?
[02:53:11] GreyFoxx: I don't think we're all thatr far behind
[02:53:16] linux_jones215 (linux_jones215!n=djones@cpe-65-189-63-155.cinci.res.rr.com) has joined #mythtv-users
[02:53:28] Kurtism: yeah that would work too
[02:54:14] iamlindoro_: You can pretty much double the price of any given card to get the same thing with HDMI, and no additional functionality besides audio. Any Nvidia card 5200 or better will operate identically in myth
[02:54:37] iamlindoro_: No difference between a 5200 and a 9600 when it comes to Myth
[02:54:43] Kurtism: cool, have you out put 1080p on your 5200?
[02:54:55] Kurtism: output
[02:55:01] PatrickDK: I dunno that the fx5200 has the bandwidth for 1080p
[02:55:08] PatrickDK: but it has been awhile since I calculated that
[02:55:19] iamlindoro_: Assuming you use any interface *besides* PCI, it will be fine
[02:56:18] Kurtism: my one board is agp, and my new one which I was planning on using the onboard hdmi but that's an ati 1250 integrated graphics chip so I'm hosed with that one too so I'll have to get a seperate pci express video card
[02:56:25] iamlindoro_: The sweet spot for price and taking full advantage of driver features is probably a 6xxx or 7xxx card
[02:56:44] PatrickDK: you would need atleast 4x agp
[02:56:56] Kurtism: I've got 8x agp on that board
[02:57:04] Kurtism: its an athlonxp 3200+
[02:57:10] Kurtism: 1.5 gigs of ram
[02:57:29] Kurtism: my newer pc is an Athlon X2 4400+ with 2gigs of ram
[02:57:36] iamlindoro_: PCIe will be fine, as would 8x AGP, you shouldn't have any issues with a middle of the road Nvidia card
[02:57:43] iamlindoro_: and the proprietary driver, of course
[02:58:00] PatrickDK: hell, just get an geforce 6200
[02:58:25] iamlindoro_: I think that's a good suggestion
[02:58:34] Kurtism: it sucks that the directx10 screwed over xv

[02:59:03] Lynet: Is nvidia the only cards that can use vsync timing?
[02:59:43] iamlindoro_: I would presume Intel would work w/ OpenGL vsync too
[03:00:34] Kurtism: ok well, this is both saddening and enlightening... it means my current hardware is junk... but I now have a little more direction.
[03:04:36] squish102: if i have the time of the recording invalid, and FF jumps all over the place and then suddenly to the end. should i run a "mythcommflag --all --rebuild" to fix it?
[03:05:11] squish102: the recording will show 3:40 and it should only be 1:30
[03:05:47] squish102: this is after running removecommercials, not sure if that makes a difference... i'm running a test without removecommercials
[03:05:52] J-e-f-f-A|wintel: squish102: I think that's fixed the issue for me in the past... But I can't say with 100% certainty... ;-)
[03:06:20] squish102: i hope it is remove commercials that is screwing it up

[03:09:04] squish102: maybe i should switch it off and get mythtv to skip commercials... the attempt to set up a frontend using upnp didn't work, so now i have a pc FE

[03:12:40] PatrickDK: since I readjusted my settings
[03:13:01] EnderTheThird: Any of you guys know a way to test LAN throughput w/o just transferring something via the file manager? I'm getting < 1MB/s transfer speeds and I'm not sure if it's Ubuntu or the network itself.
[03:13:39] squish102: PatrickDK the removecommercials script does a lossless transcoding
[03:13:46] squish102: http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/Script_-_RemoveCommercials
[03:13:52] PatrickDK: ya, I don't remove them
[03:13:57] PatrickDK: I dunno why you would want to
[03:15:53] squish102: well i have some upnp clients attached to other tv's in the house and they use mythtv's upnp server to stream the recordings, so cutting them out stops having to FF through commercials
[03:16:42] squish102: actually, correction, i now use ushare's upnp server as mythtv's one didnt work to good for me
[03:24:09] J-e-f-f-A|wintel: EnderTheThird: I've used 'netperf' before...

[03:29:28] J-e-f-f-A|wintel: JoeyJoeJo: What options? It's just a simple 'file server' interface, to your existing recordings/videos/music...
[03:29:51] EnderTheThird: J-e-f-f-A|wintel: I think that worked. 12–15 MBit. What is realistic for a "100 MBit" connection?
[03:30:20] J-e-f-f-A|wintel: EnderTheThird: About that... 100Mb /8bits = about that... ;-)
[03:31:07] JoeyJoeJo: JeffA|wintel: All I know is that on .20.2 I could see my backend's UPnP on my PS3, and now in .21 I can't
[03:31:13] EnderTheThird: Ah, I wasn't sure how close the actual throughput was for wired. I know wireless it's quite a bit lower. Looks like I need to try making a new network cable.
[03:31:34] EnderTheThird: Thanks for the info. Media server doesn't work too great on a 15 MBit connection, heh.

[13:50:19] i_is_cat: laid out nicely inside with big silent fans placed in optimal positions, only room for two drives unless you get a 5.25" to 3.5" and put a third behind the lcd (they say not to in the manual but there is space so i dont see why not)
[13:50:54] i_is_cat: only fits micro-atx or smaller type boards but there are quite a few of those ones with full features

[13:52:06] kleetus: i_is_cat: i am getting ready to fire up the silicon dust hdhomerun
[13:52:17] kleetus: i_is_cat: any experience with this?

[13:53:24] kleetus: i_is_cat: yeah, i will post my results
[13:53:26] Kurtism: iamlindoro: I managed to get myth working with my x800 pro this morning, I couldn't get the fglrx drivers to work but I did manage to get the non-ati driver to work... I used overlay option in xorg.conf ... though this may still in the end prove to not give the best jitterfree quality.
[13:54:14] i_is_cat: sounds good kleetus i'm interested to hear more about it
[13:54:43] kleetus: i_is_cat: i got it to watch tv while i work in my office
[13:55:25] i_is_cat: Kurtism, what distro? fglrx works quite well now.. at least the install and having 3D functionality but the quality of 3D i find to be horrendous
[13:55:48] i_is_cat: so whats it do exactly kleetus? take your tv signal and stream it across the network for any system to pick up and watch?
[13:55:49] Kurtism: I'm using debian
[13:56:18] Kurtism: when I install the fglrx I find as soon as I switch to console the whole box freezes up
[13:56:22] i_is_cat: Kurtism, i'm sorry i have never used debian before so i wouldnt know where to begin with the fglrx drivers on there but i did get it working with slackware 12..
[13:56:26] Kurtism: using ctrl+alt+f1
[13:56:44] kleetus: i_is_cat: it takes OTA HD or cable unencrypted streams and puts the mpeg2 directly onto your ethernet home network
[13:56:47] Kurtism: did you just execute the .run file from ati?
[13:57:03] i_is_cat: for the most part ya
[13:57:07] kleetus: i_is_cat: it has 2 HD tuners
[13:57:20] i_is_cat: kleetus, that sounds like a nice piece of hardware :D
[13:57:37] kleetus: i_is_cat: i have not fired it up yet, but we shall see
[13:57:48] i_is_cat: yes i am definately interested now hehe
[13:59:03] i_is_cat: the problem with the fglrx driver was the config if i remember correctly
[13:59:14] i_is_cat: it needed to be configured properly or it just did weird things

[14:00:02] Kurtism: I would love to get it working
[14:00:02] i_is_cat: i remember a couple of times seemingly random, it would stop displaying 3d entirely unless i startx as root first then logout and back in as user again.. that was a permission problem set somewhere
[14:00:24] Kurtism: well I couldn't even get fglrxinfo to display info
[14:00:31] Kurtism: it would say something like "no host" or some crap
[14:00:51] i_is_cat: have you tried the #ati channel? the guys in there set me straight when i was seriously stuck
[14:01:18] Kurtism: nope not yet, I will
[14:01:56] i_is_cat: ya a couple of times i had to idle a while but theres a few users in there who seem to know the driver like the back of their hand and dont mind helping you out at all unlike a lot of people in a lot of other chans....

[17:57:52] kormoc: Vantage13, why using a cronjob? mythbackend can run the mythfilldatabase itself and is the prefered way. Your cron script doesn't seem to finish the job, it seems to only download the data
[17:58:46] Vantage13: kormoc: that's the default why of handling it for debian packages. The cron just runs "su – mythtv -c "mythfilldatabase --quiet --remove-new-channels""
[17:58:54] Vantage13: er s/why/way/
[17:59:10] kormoc: well, it's not outputting the 'updating the database' lines that it should
[17:59:40] Vantage13: is that because of the --quiet?
[17:59:46] kormoc: and it's in bad taste. Part of the code in myth is to run the grabber at a time specified by the source, you ignore that in the crontab style
[17:59:50] kormoc: perhaps
[17:59:52] ** kormoc shrugs **
[18:00:15] Vantage13: I'll try running it manually and see what happens
[18:00:50] Vantage13: without --quiet and --remove-new-channels
[18:05:35] Vantage13: kormoc: I think I got it. One of the tables was marked crashed. Repairing it now
[18:06:00] PatrickDK: heh, I my mythbackend doesn't seem to be running mythfilldatabase anymore

[18:20:54] PatrickDK: and been in here for the last 4 months
[18:21:40] PatrickDK: the fact that mythfilldatabase stopped working for me, is probably cause the system it's on is completely trashed and needs a reinstall

[20:01:35] nicholas_: I'm having trouble finding playback settings which cope well with video corruption – if I had bad DVB-T reception for a few moments, the video is corrupt, but from then on, the audio sync is off by a few seconds. Saving position, going back to the menu, then playing again makes the audio sync go back to normal.
[20:01:57] clever: nicholas_: have you tried rewind also?
[20:02:15] clever: i get similar problems when playing 'damaged' files from unfinished torrents
[20:02:28] clever: any kind of seeking(ff/rw) tends to fix it

[20:56:27] Dagmar: tim1: Well, perhaps it would have been better if you'd left off the -y so that fsck would have told you something, rather than just telling it "fix it now"
[20:56:29] natoka: Dagmar: hmm, let me think, ... the point with xfs is that it caches stuff heavily compared with ext3 and reiserfs
[20:56:49] Dagmar: natoka: So, which of those filesystems WON'T be damaged if you kill the fucking power while there's writes left to be done?
[20:57:24] natoka: Dagmar: well with xfs you're probably going to loose the most

[21:07:56] keith4: Dagmar: agreed, but the journal is most likely not the greatest of his problems
[21:08:01] Dagmar: I know the ext2 driver will now take care not to destroy ext3 journals, but I don't know if that level of care has made it out into things like fsck yet
[21:08:20] kormoc: dagar, it would have. If the superblock doesn't indicate a journal, it can't assume the journal is valid and will toss it every time
[21:08:29] Dagmar: keith4: Well, it might have made the difference between keeping a recording and losing one, but I agree with you anyway

[21:12:14] tim1: ok im goingto do that
[21:12:20] Dagmar: For god's sake don't try to add the journal to the filesystem while it's mounted.  ;)

[21:29:36] Josh_: My myth frontend has a VGA card with 1xVGA, 1xDVI, and 1xS-Video. Is there any advantage to connecting to my new TV via a DVI-HDMI cable, or a simple VGA-VGA connection?
[21:29:41] Aval0n: I can't even hear western union anymore without immediatly thinking scam
[21:29:42] Aval0n: heh
[21:29:43] Dagmar: Actually, I know better than to take Western Union. heh
[21:30:01] Aval0n: Josh_: that depends on what input you prefert to use
[21:30:04] Dagmar: Josh: Heck, use VGA if you can
[21:30:19] Aval0n: VGA is analog (while not likely) it is prone to some interference
[21:30:30] Dagmar: It'll mean less chance the TV might think it needs to rescale something and induce about 70ms of video lag
[21:30:31] Aval0n: hdmi=dvi is digital all the way to the TV's logic board.
[21:30:53] Aval0n: also what dagmar says
[21:30:57] Josh_: so it's worth the $30 for the DVI to HDMI cable
[21:31:01] Aval0n: if your TV does not have hdmi 1.3a compliance
[21:31:08] Aval0n: you may be dealing with overscan
[21:31:21] Aval0n: Josh research how your TV deals with PC signals via hdmi first
[21:31:23] Josh_: Aval0n, I'm looking at a new samsung 40" 1080i LCD
[21:31:33] Dagmar: Whichever means uses *fewer pieces* is probably better
[21:31:38] Aval0n: I'de recommend running 720p on that
[21:31:43] Dagmar: Simpler == less hassle
[21:31:46] Josh_: Aval0n, why is that?
[21:31:49] Aval0n: Josh_: check out avsforum.com
[21:31:50] Josh_: dagar, agreed.
[21:32:08] Aval0n: Josh_: because still images on 1080i can cause flicker
[21:32:26] Aval0n: specially all the thin horizontal lines you have on mythtv menus
[21:32:44] Aval0n: it's up to you
[21:32:51] iamlindoro__: Not to mention that panel is 99% likely to be 720p native res anyway
[21:32:52] Aval0n: it will probably run 1360x768 native
[21:32:56] Josh_: Aval0n, ok.. I havent bought the TV yet, I just want the best quality possible
[21:33:15] Aval0n: I belive that set that you mention will be 1360x768
[21:33:20] Aval0n: without interlacing
[21:33:24] Josh_: Aval0n, just a sec
[21:33:32] Aval0n: I also belive it supports a "just scan" mode
[21:33:45] Aval0n: which will eliminate your overscan issue on hdmi/dvi inputs
[21:33:49] Aval0n: but don't quote me on that
[21:34:06] Josh_: Aval0n, that's correct, I'm familliar with the "Just Scan" mode with my freind's LCD
[21:34:14] Aval0n: on that set if you use the VGA input you WILL have a thin grey veritcal line on each side of the image

[21:36:05] Aval0n: or "native res"
[21:36:11] Aval0n: josh check out samsung's site
[21:36:17] Aval0n: it will tell you all you need to know
[21:36:24] Josh_: I'm not sure what EDID info is?
[21:36:36] Aval0n: make sure you set some sort of screen saver
[21:36:39] Aval0n: 15 mins
[21:36:43] Aval0n: is what I have mine set to
[21:37:11] Aval0n: EDID = Extended display identification data
[21:37:28] Aval0n: it is what your set sends via the video signal to let the source know what it's capable of displaying
[21:37:55] Josh_: Okay, that's why my PC says "Samsung" when I connect the TV as an available display device
[21:38:39] Aval0n: if you are refering to what you see in your xorg.conf that is correct
[21:38:46] Aval0n: the nvidia driver is handling the EDID for you
[21:38:54] Aval0n: I'm assuming you have an nvidia card correct?
[21:39:10] Josh_: Aval0n, no, this is on my Vista laptop..
[21:39:20] Aval0n: ok...
[21:39:32] Aval0n: so it doesn't have an nvidia graphics chipset/

[21:39:56] Josh_: Aval0n, :) Dual Geforce 8600M GT's
[21:40:08] Aval0n: ... so nvidia
[21:40:15] Josh_: definately
[21:40:26] Josh_: samsung's site says resolution is 1920x1080
[21:40:27] ** Aval0n gets increasingly confused **
[21:40:35] Aval0n: is that i or p
[21:40:37] Anduin: Hoxzer: open a ticket with the bt, also may want to delete mythvideo_fi.qm and report if that "fixes" it
[21:40:45] Josh_: for that LN40A550
[21:40:47] Hoxzer: Anduin: This is wierd.
[21:40:53] Aval0n: because if that's i that means your native res will be 1360x768 or 1280x720
[21:41:07] Aval0n: my set is 1920x1080i as well...
[21:41:22] iamlindoro__: that set is a *p* set, not an i
[21:41:29] Aval0n: ahh
[21:41:33] iamlindoro__: So that native res will be correct
[21:41:33] Aval0n: even better for you Josh
[21:41:35] Josh_: yeah, p, sorry
[21:41:38] Hoxzer: Anduin: after recompile I get segfaults as told BUT after I have used old ...fi.qm and then I try again with new one. It doesn't segfault O_o
[21:41:45] Aval0n: I'de say that's a very good purchase
[21:42:29] Josh_: hmmm

[21:59:01] sphery: I didn't think it was possible to see the ball in one of those...
[21:59:19] Dagmar: Yes, that way you'd see a lot of images of the ball in various places
[21:59:21] markl: that might be impossible, the movement wouldn't be linear in 24 fps
[21:59:37] markl: but it would be fun to try, maybe i'll take in forrest gump
[21:59:41] Dagmar: ...or just make a test video
[21:59:59] sphery: what was the model/manufacturer?
[22:00:21] markl: samsung, they had some trademark for it
[22:01:01] markl: MotionPlus i think is the term
[22:01:03] sphery: Samsung: "Auto Motion Plus" / Sony: "Motionflow"
[22:01:08] markl: yeah
[22:02:04] sphery: Don't know if it would apply to Myth, though, unless you can actually send a 1080p120 signal to the TV (doubtful)
[22:02:10] markl: maybe it only does 48 fps
[22:02:26] sphery: You'd have to get Myth outputting 1080p24 and let the TV do its "magic"
[22:02:26] markl: i only looked at it for a few minutes, but it was impressive
[22:02:52] Aval0n: automotion plus is annoying after about 10 minutes of viewing in my opinion
[22:03:19] markl: Aval0n: interesting, why?
[22:03:39] iamlindoro__: sphery, I think that's pretty accurate, which tells you something about what it's doing given the source material isn't any different than usual
[22:03:50] Aval0n: i don't know
[22:03:53] iamlindoro__: Fairly negative reactions here: http://forum.dvdtalk.com/showthread.php?t=518840
[22:03:56] Aval0n: it's just my personal opinion
[22:04:00] nicholas_: How do I get new recording rules to default to 'auto-transcode'?
[22:04:03] Aval0n: it gets annoying to me
[22:04:43] Aval0n: like i'm watching a documentry

[22:05:41] Aval0n: DVD or x264
[22:05:49] Aval0n: very clean and smooth
[22:05:54] sphery: nicholas_: Run transcoder: This is the default value used for the Auto-Transcode setting when a new scheduled recording is created.
[22:05:59] Aval0n: because it's source was a high dps
[22:06:00] markl: i just hate the film look in general

[22:06:03] ** stuarta resists the urge to tell someone to rtfm **

[22:07:24] Aval0n: sphery: do you transcode your recordings?
[22:07:27] sphery: the "Run transcoder" setting sets the default for when you create new recordings.
[22:07:33] nicholas_: phew, that took a long time to find.
[22:07:57] Aval0n: sphery just mentioned what I was talking about
[22:08:00] sphery: Aval0n: nope. Backends too low-powered. (All HDTV and Athlon XP 2400+/2000+ backends.)

[22:08:54] Aval0n: nicholas_: if the recording is screwed before you transcode that will do you no good
[22:09:02] Aval0n: sphery: nice
[22:09:16] Aval0n: my be and main FE is same machine
[22:09:20] sphery: I'm really wanting to upgrade it, though. Just havn't thought of an excuse, yet.
[22:09:31] Aval0n: core2duo 1.86ghz oc'ed to 3.03ghz
[22:09:33] sphery: stupid thing does everything I need it to
[22:09:37] Dagmar: "But honey, it was on sale!"
[22:09:39] nicholas_: Aval0n: hmm... In the middle of some of my recordings, there is a small/few second gitch in the signal. mplayer can play it back and keep the audio in sync, but mythtv loses sync and I have to save the position and renter the playback...
[22:09:47] sphery: Aval0n: Nice OC.

[22:10:46] sphery: Yeah. I've had mine since 2006, so it feels old, but it handles everything I push at it. (Don't have H.264.)
[22:11:03] Aval0n: sphery: thanks
[22:11:04] Dagmar: Mine won't play most 264-encoded files without doing some _really_ weird frameskip
[22:11:22] neztiti: Aval0n: any idea man?
[22:11:26] Dagmar: It acts like someones fast-forwarding stuff
[22:11:28] Aval0n: dagmar: what cpu?
[22:11:33] markl: Dagmar: yeah
[22:11:46] markl: i had decent results with ffmpeg from CVS
[22:11:57] Aval0n: neztiti: I'm sorry idea on what?
[22:12:01] Dagmar: Avalon: CPU isn't really the issue from what I can tell. 3800+
[22:12:07] sphery: nicholas_: probably an out-of-spec video stream or corruption due to signal issues. May work better in future Myth's (as libav* is upgraded to newer versions and catches up with the version your MPlayer is probably using).
[22:12:10] markl: but it couldn't deal with my sound
[22:12:38] Dagmar: I've got ffmpeg and x264 from CVS less than a week old
[22:12:47] Dagmar: er 3200+ actually
[22:12:57] Aval0n: what are you using to play the x264 dagmar?
[22:13:02] Dagmar: Myth's internal player
[22:13:08] neztiti: No UPnP backends found whats the wrong here?
[22:13:12] Aval0n: you using the skiploop filter patch?
[22:13:13] nicholas_: sphery: that's encouraging. The problem is very like corruption due to signal issues. Normally signal is great, but every now and then fails for a few moments.
[22:13:32] Aval0n: 3200+ isn't enough for x264 methinks =(
[22:13:35] Dagmar: neztit: Same as before. Your backend isn't running, or it can't be reached (possibly firewalling)
[22:13:43] Aval0n: you can try the skiploopfilter option though
[22:13:47] Dagmar: Avalon: It actually plays under "other OSs"
[22:14:00] Dagmar: ...with less CPU power
[22:14:02] Aval0n: right because it's offloading the work the to gpu
[22:14:13] Aval0n: which linux's only option to do that is xvmc
[22:14:15] Aval0n: which is a joke
[22:14:25] Dagmar: This is not a 1080 ressed file.
[22:14:38] Aval0n: I had the same issue with my p4 3.4ghz HT
[22:14:58] markl: i had a 3200+ and a p4 3.2 ghz before i got the dual core, neither one was very good
[22:15:00] sphery: nicholas_: have you tried adjusting the antenna or getting a better antenna or amp or ...
[22:15:03] Aval0n: Dagmar: do you have the skiploopfilter patch?
[22:15:10] Aval0n: for the mythtv internal player
[22:15:12] Dagmar: I dont' even know what it is
[22:15:20] Aval0n: it takes a lot of load off the cpu
[22:15:28] Aval0n: you would need to recompile though
[22:15:34] Aval0n: iamlindoro helped me with it
[22:15:40] Dagmar: Like I don't _already_ do that three times a month
[22:15:41] Aval0n: if you would like I'll send you the patch
[22:15:41] markl: ok what does it take to get mythtv to play back iPod MP4 files with AAC audio
[22:15:48] markl: i get the video but no audio
[22:15:50] Dagmar: Work stuff... back in 10
[22:15:52] Aval0n: ok
[22:15:54] Aval0n: se eya
[22:15:54] markl: debian
[22:16:28] nicholas_: sphery: there is a signal booster inline, and the transmitter is only about 7 miles away. How can I get Myth to tell me what it thinks is going on with the signal?
[22:17:37] sphery: nicholas_: the signal monitor (Alt-F7) is really the only tool in Myth, but it's an interactive thing and isn't used during normal usage. It's also just a "relative" measure.
[22:18:18] sphery: I'm guessing some other tools would be more appropriate (i.e. some of the DVB tools or something), but I've never tried to do any long-term signal monitoring while recording or anything, so I may be way off.

[22:20:38] sphery: Having read more about 120Hz "motion tweening," I'm starting to wonder why people tend to be against upscaling (resolution), but don't mind "inventing" information between frames. Especially since there /is/ a difference between pixels and dots (and you need more dots than pixels to display the information in an image)
[22:20:42] nicholas_: S/N 4.8 dB...
[22:20:49] Aval0n: that's pretty standard

[22:23:55] sphery: I suppose the same could apply for the time dimension, but considering the amount of processing required to extract the extra information from a single frame, I doubt current computers could handle extracting it (in real time) from all the frames that would be relevant to determining intra-frame positioning.
[22:25:03] stuarta (stuarta!n=stuarta@unaffiliated/stuarta) has left #mythtv-users ("pumpkin time")
[22:25:51] markl: sphery: it probably depends on the number of frames, if you are just doubling from 24–48 it might not be too much worse than deinterlacing 1080i
[22:29:06] phatmonkey (phatmonkey!n=ben@scooby.firshman.co.uk) has quit ()
[22:29:39] sphery: Yeah. It sounds like it doesn't even do the 24fps -> 120fps by adding 4 new frames, either. It has more to do with adjusting for the LCD's refresh characteristics to compensate for motion blur (even inserting black frames, too).
[22:30:39] markl: 24 -> 120 would be black magic
[22:30:55] markl: even 48 fps would look a hell of a lot better than film, 24 fps

[22:31:22] sphery: I'm not so much saying that I think it's a bad idea. I just can't understand the common assertion that 1:1 pixel mapping makes for the best possible picture quality--especially when they would probably accept something like the auto motion stuff.
[22:32:13] sphery: It actually makes a lot more sense, now, in the sense that it's not trying to add information as much as trying to compensate for the particular characteristics of the physical display device.

[22:34:03] sphery: I don't know that we have a rate-choosing algorithm in Myth now (might match only on video size), but it should be possible to add one.

[22:37:45] Dagmar: If you're going to let the TV do the rescaling, then it's probably a good idea to route the audio output through it as well
