[00:03:03] | black_Nightmare_: | but either way.. full mpeg4 decoding assistance on eg a PII/400 probably could be nice (whether its a htpc or just a typical stubbornly long-living pc with a dvdrom/etc drive in it) |
[00:03:18] | black_Nightmare_: | who really knows tho (especially on mythtv side too) |

[00:23:47] | iamlindoro: | black_Nightmare_: You can pretty much use any remote you like for the computer side-- Your best bet would be something with a "Cable" "TV" and "Aux" mode, like the Motorola STB remotes... then you could have lirc learn the "Aux" codeset, and use Cable for the STB, and TV for your TV if you wanted |
[00:24:12] | iamlindoro: | most universal remotes have a similar set of buttons to switch codesets |
[00:25:38] | black_Nightmare_: | hmm ok thanks |
[00:25:51] | black_Nightmare_: | if I find a nice a/v store or so in downtown I'll have to try check out re remotes |

[00:27:47] | black_Nightmare_: | iamlindoro I kinda hate many single individual remotes but then I don't like these silly generic $5 all-in-one remotes (mainly from being bulky and sometimes not so well labelled at all) neither .. you know ^-^ |
[00:28:19] | iamlindoro: | black_Nightmare_: if you *really* want to go fancy you could buy a harmony |
[00:31:56] | black_Nightmare_: | heh $170cad — I'll pass ^_^ |

[02:01:50] | hadees: | iamlindoro, so apparently xfs and jfs both have fairly small (given todays disk size) size limits of like 2 terabytes |
[02:02:14] | hadees: | extended jfs would work but isn't recommend for a system that doesn't have a 64 bit proc |
[02:02:49] | hadees: | so best as I can tell ext3 with a block-size of 4kb is the best i can get |
[02:02:57] | hadees: | that can handle up to 8tb |
[02:03:05] | hadees: | i just wish i could find someone who knows more about this |
[02:03:28] | hadees: | going through this effort and loosing my data would not be fun |
[02:04:44] | clever: | make it 1tb storage groups? |
[02:04:58] | hadees: | clever, this is for mythvideo not mythtv |
[02:05:03] | clever: | ah |
[02:05:06] | clever: | what i do |
[02:05:13] | clever: | i have all my mythvideo stuff at /media/videos/ |
[02:05:22] | clever: | and under that is the mountpoint for every drive&nfs |
[02:05:34] | clever: | repeat the same idea:P |
[02:05:54] | hadees: | clever, i could do that but then i have hard limits on each category |
[02:06:07] | clever: | i have catagorys under each |
[02:06:16] | clever: | for example /media/videos/*/foo/ |
[02:06:20] | gandalfcome (gandalfcome!n=gandalfc@mithrandir.anu.edu.au) has joined #mythtv-users | |
[02:06:35] | clever: | then i just manualy shuffle the overflow between the drives |
[02:06:43] | clever: | to balance the usage |
[02:06:44] | hadees: | clever, yeah but then you have to remember which one has which and it gets confusing |
[02:06:54] | clever: | yeah |
[02:07:01] | clever: | which is what i use locate for:P |
[02:07:11] | hadees: | lol i wish it would work from my remote |
[02:07:28] | clever: | and i try to group it in seq so i dont have to go far once i find the chunk |
[02:07:32] | hadees: | ext3 is supposed to handle up to 8tb if you use a blocksize of 4kb |
[02:07:58] | clever: | i have nearly 500gig total between all my systems |
[02:08:17] | hadees: | i have an old raid array of 2 terabytes which i was going to repurpose for mythtv but i think i'm going to hold off for a while and see how the new array works, |
[02:08:28] | hadees: | that way at least i don't loose all my data if things go south |
[02:08:35] | hadees: | ext3 is pretty stable though i guess |
[02:08:38] | clever: | all my crap is on an lvm array |
[02:08:51] | hadees: | i have hardware raid 5 |
[02:08:58] | clever: | and at several points i inflated it into a usb drive or a nbd device |
[02:09:11] | clever: | mainly to shuffle the data from drive->drive |
[02:09:17] | clever: | 01 23:09:07 < clever`rev> Total: 553.42GB Used: 515.24GB Free: 30.42GB |
[02:09:29] | clever: | a script i made parsed the output of df |
[02:09:50] | hadees: | clever, it may eventually come to that but i really just want one big filesystem on a raid array |
[02:10:02] | clever: | yeah that would be better |
[02:10:11] | clever: | right now i have everything at |
[02:10:15] | clever: | Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on |
[02:10:15] | clever: | /dev/mapper/mainvg-mainlv |
[02:10:15] | clever: | 389G 384G 5.1G 99% /media/mainlv |
[02:10:30] | hadees: | i can't believe that in a day when terabyte drives exist the state of filesystem seems behind |
[02:10:36] | clever: | and every other drive just handles the overflow then i get realy tight on space |
[02:10:53] | clever: | then->when |
[02:11:49] | hadees: | 268435456 inodes |
[02:12:02] | clever: | Filesystem Inodes IUsed IFree IUse% Mounted on |
[02:12:02] | clever: | /dev/mapper/mainvg-mainlv |
[02:12:02] | clever: | 51655968 506885 51149083 1% /media/mainlv |
[02:12:03] | hadees: | i left the inode setting alone because i was worried about running out |
[02:12:09] | clever: | mainlv holds all recordings |
[02:12:12] | clever: | mythtv source&bin |
[02:12:13] | hadees: | but i am using large files |
[02:12:15] | clever: | and build |
[02:12:24] | clever: | and the entire root for my netbooting systems |
[02:12:27] | hadees: | i wonder if i should just change it to large files |

[03:13:20] | phunyguy: | but mine is in the mail |
[03:13:30] | Joemama_: | you think http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.9877 would work with mythtv ? |
[03:13:32] | phunyguy: | not remote, but PVR-150 |
[03:14:13] | Joemama_: | right |
[03:15:09] | stoneymonster is now known as stoneymonster|aw | |
[03:15:27] | Joemama_: | think that remote would work ? |
[03:15:48] | phunyguy: | is there a config for it? |
[03:15:55] | phunyguy: | :) |
[03:15:55] | Joemama_: | dont think so |
[03:16:00] | Joemama_: | appearently it acts like a keyboard |
[03:16:02] | phunyguy: | well there is your answer |
[03:16:05] | Joemama_: | so i think it would work |
[03:16:06] | phunyguy: | hmmm |
[03:16:14] | Joemama_: | just have to configure the keys in mythtv |
[03:16:21] | phunyguy: | is it IR? |
[03:16:23] | GreyFoxx: | yeah |
[03:16:25] | Joemama_: | yes |
[03:16:35] | phunyguy: | hmmm |
[03:16:41] | GreyFoxx: | jo: Personally Id go for the MCE remote. It works well, and is dead simple to configure |
[03:16:52] | GreyFoxx: | took me 5 minutes total including compiling lirc |
[03:16:52] | Joemama_: | cheap too? |
[03:16:53] | phunyguy: | si that the PVR one?> |
[03:16:56] | phunyguy: | is* |
[03:17:03] | phunyguy: | i was thinkin of gettin one of those |
[03:17:11] | GreyFoxx: | joe: I've seen them for around $25-$35 |
[03:17:22] | GreyFoxx: | Has an IR blaster too I believe but I don't use it |

[03:25:18] | Joemama_: | not coming accross a good deal on one |
[03:26:31] | GreyFoxx: | I don't kn ow what you consider a "good deal" :) |
[03:26:51] | Joemama_: | i guess for that, ~$20 would be okay |

[03:45:05] | dmz: | hey y'all, my local cable company changed their channel linup, what's the best way to get mythfildatabase to update w/new channel listing (assuming the new channels are ready to be downloaded)? |
[03:45:07] | nvc: | i'm slowly figuring this out, it seems :P |
[03:45:12] | nvc: | i'm fairly n00b |
[03:45:17] | nvc: | i'm sorry for dumb questions |
[03:46:22] | Anduin: | nvc: You will not get a significantly better version of MythTV compiling it yourself, if you don't have a good reason to use a package, well, try it first |
[03:46:35] | Anduin: | er to not use |
[03:47:05] | stoneymonster|aw is now known as stoneymonster | |

[03:50:23] | nvc: | Anduin: i see what you meant now, i didn't realise mythtv was in the package manager |

[05:12:57] | nvc: | i have no idea how to even use mysql |
[05:17:32] | cesman: | in order to connect a remote frontend or a slave backend to a master backend, mysql must be configure to allow network access |
[05:18:01] | cesman: | in addition the IP addies in mythtv-setup must be setup appropriate (ie the IP of the master backend) |
[05:18:31] | cesman: | you'll need to edit /etc/mysql/my.conf |
[05:19:56] | cesman: | comment or delete the line that starts w/ "bind-address" |

[05:41:35] | Aneesh: | I installed on openSUSE a week ago and pulseaudio support wasn't there, so I got no sound...but the packman repositories have been updated since then. is pulseaudio support there now? |
[05:42:02] | cesman: | Aneesh: #opensuse? |
[05:42:22] | Aneesh: | its mythtv specific tho |
[05:42:28] | Aneesh: | i meant mythtv got no sound |
[05:42:37] | Aneesh: | no output through pulseaudio |
[05:43:05] | Aneesh: | is there anyway to get mythtv to output sound through pulseaudio? |
[05:43:12] | cesman: | as far as I'm aware, there is no direct support for pulse audio in MythTV |
[05:43:30] | Aneesh: | really? |
[05:43:45] | Aneesh: | there's a patch, and i read that it was committed in .21...I would I compile with the patch? |
[05:43:55] | Aneesh: | *how would I compile with the patch |
[05:44:29] | Aneesh: | http://svn.mythtv.org/trac/ticket/3598 |
[05:44:37] | Aneesh: | thats the bug ticket with the patch |
[05:44:45] | cesman: | get the source, apply the patch and compile |
[05:45:10] | Aneesh: | how exactly would I apply the patch? |
[05:45:18] | Aneesh: | I'm kind of new with compiling i guess |
[05:45:28] | Aneesh: | i'd need the dependencies and all, ./configure, and make |
[05:45:41] | Aneesh: | but i don't know how to compile with the patch |
[05:46:43] | Aneesh: | and there are supposed to be a bunch of packages for MythTV right? would I be compiling all that stuff too, or would I just be compiling one part of MythTV and installing the rest of the packages precompiled |
[05:47:17] | cesman: | based on trac, it looks like it is 0.21 |
[05:47:19] | Aneesh: | or would I in fact just download the source from here: |
[05:47:24] | Aneesh: | ? |
[05:47:33] | Aneesh: | the fix was committed in .21? |

[15:06:54] | justinh: | I know myth has been around for what – like nearly 6 years.. but all the same... |
[15:07:12] | Dibblah: | Then, when everything's back safely DRMed, they'll go back to sleep in front of the boob tube again. |
[15:07:33] | zoomzoom: | and now some cable companies are starting to limit channels on cablecards, requiring new 2-way protocols to display them that the cablecards dont support. i lost 11 hd channels over the last few weeks because it |

[15:07:40] | justinh: | Dibblah: we had a good innings! |
[15:07:46] | zoomzoom: | so even the mainstream tech like cablecards and tivos that use them arent up to par |
[15:08:26] | justinh: | Dibblah: and by then, if I really still want to watch whatever they put in front of me I'll just go to the cinema anyway |

[15:11:31] | justinh: | EvilGuru: yeah.. of course tuner cards whose drivers don't know about the flags can't obey them ;-) |
[15:11:37] | GreyFoxx: | many of those people would switch to a "legal" option if it allowed them re cording freedom |

[15:12:35] | justinh: | I've never bought the theory that people are hacking AND paying though |

[16:43:10] | iamlindoro__: | He said "all systems" |
[16:43:29] | |Torg|: | yes he said + some fixes as in not all fixes, but ok |
[16:44:07] | iamlindoro__: | I believe me meant his version was patched with some fixes, not that some were different versions, but perhaps I misunderstood |
[16:44:14] | |Torg|: | do you use the openchrome drivers and xvmc now? |
[16:44:21] | kslater: | right, the systems are running what came in with Mythdora, but it was an upgrade, etc. |
[16:44:24] | kslater: | I do |
[16:44:44] | |Torg|: | and how badly does it play the h262 streams? |
[16:44:45] | kslater: | and it works well enough, although it won't playback any ATSC captures |
[16:45:08] | kslater: | it sometimes will play back a 720p recording but the audio stutters a bit |
[16:45:20] | |Torg|: | turn off deinterlacing, does it help? |

[16:45:25] | kslater: | 1080i just gives a nice blue background – perfect audio though |
[16:45:31] | GreyFoxx: | iam: Well they wont reenable the clear signal for that one multiplex |
[16:45:36] | kslater: | haven't tried it without de-interlace |
[16:45:46] | iamlindoro__: | GreyFoxx: SKEKSIS! |
[16:46:11] | GreyFoxx: | they said "You should have been getting it, and we just corrected a mistake" . So I called a guy in the headend and he said "A new suit came in a month ago, found out that his tv was getting the digital signal in the clear and freaked out" |
[16:46:11] | iamlindoro__: | GreyFoxx: what is it they are trying so hard to protect, anyway? Does it still work via firewire? |
[16:46:15] | |Torg|: | I doubt it will work kslater I just wanted you to test it to see |
[16:46:20] | GreyFoxx: | Firewire does and will continue to work |
[16:46:26] | iamlindoro__: | Well that |
[16:46:28] | GreyFoxx: | It's just certain clear QAM channels |
[16:46:31] | iamlindoro__: | that's something I guess |
[16:46:40] | iamlindoro__: | douche |
[16:46:55] | GreyFoxx: | I can still get most, just not the "main" channels I and most apparently watch |
[16:47:38] | iamlindoro__: | Which channels became encrypted? Anything premium, or just random stuff? |
[16:47:41] | GreyFoxx: | Apparently the guy who preceeded him was the main advocate for keeping them in the clear |
[16:47:57] | ** iamlindoro__ invokes iamlindoro's law again ** | |
[16:48:07] | GreyFoxx: | iam: no, just Fox, NBC, ATC, Global, ABC, CBS, etc |
[16:48:15] | iamlindoro__: | It's like Moore's law, but more predictable |
[16:48:17] | GreyFoxx: | the "main" stations |
[16:48:28] | GreyFoxx: | nothing you pay extra for |
[16:48:31] | iamlindoro__: | GreyFoxx: so weird, the exact opposite of most US encryption situations :) |
[16:48:57] | |Torg|: | I belive its asgint FCC rules to encrypt the local brodcast staiotns, didnt stop my cable comany tho |
[16:48:59] | GreyFoxx: | Apparently he is worried about people will cable modem service getting the channels freely |
[16:49:10] | iamlindoro__: | |Torg|: except he's not anywhere governed by the FCC |
[16:49:18] | GreyFoxx: | so I have some decisions to make |

[16:50:12] | GreyFoxx: | or switch services |
[16:50:55] | |Torg|: | when you switch services, call support and ask them who the new executive was, make sure you copy him on your decision and note it was becase of his decision yo are changing |
[16:51:01] | GreyFoxx: | Worst case I might pay for expressvu and then be a bad boy when it comes to accessing the channels I pay for. But that's all I'll sya about that :) |
[16:51:23] | GreyFoxx: | But I doubt I'd do that, too much work |

[17:30:20] | |Torg|: | we got local dishnet resleers who sent out flyers that imply the same thing, "dont get cought with the digital switchover" |
[17:30:41] | |Torg|: | I would love one of those fscks to come to my door an ask me |
[17:31:32] | justinh: | there were 3 of them came to my door just now. 2 lackeys standing behind him looking up to the ultra-charming c*** |
[17:32:23] | justinh: | almost ran out of ways to say NO without resorting to bad language, but "if I had a choice between no TV & Sky, I'd pick NO TV" |
[17:32:33] | justinh: | sorted it :) |
[17:32:56] | justinh: | the lackeys seemed to find that hilarious. hey ho |

[17:34:39] | xris: | ouch |
[17:34:46] | justinh: | they're basically claiming a) no Sky, no TV after 2012.. b) that you can completely customise your channel lineup & only pay for what you want (yeah RIGHT!) and c) ADSL is always faster than cable broadband |

[17:35:38] | jduggan: | cable broadband in the UK is far superior speed wise |
[17:35:49] | webvictim: | it's more to do with getting the speed consistently. |
[17:36:04] | justinh: | had maybe 5 dropouts in as many years with cable. people I know with ADSL are always popping off |
[17:36:10] | webvictim: | although virgin media's policies are useless, and will be getting worse |
[17:36:29] | justinh: | speed isn't an issue with me. constancy of my connection IS |
[17:37:16] | justinh: | webvictim: I find it ironic how they're railing against file sharing etc when they just announced that they've upgraded their binary news retention & number of available groups |
[17:37:28] | webvictim: | it's annoying. |
[17:37:33] | justinh: | yes, alt.binaries.images.bluray or whatever is there too |
[17:37:54] | justinh: | on THEIR servers :) |
[17:37:56] | webvictim: | there's a report on the register talking about them possibly doing DPI and slowing usenet traffic. |
[17:38:07] | justinh: | if that doesn't make them party to illegality I dunno what can ;) |
[17:38:07] | webvictim: | their spokesperson has said "no, that's rubbish" |
[17:38:12] | XLV: | justinh, they'd hold some nice logs from those servers though |
[17:38:19] | webvictim: | but i can't help but think that the policy will suddenly change |
[17:38:43] | justinh: | nah, it's a british based company. they'll continue to say one thing & do another for quite some time yet |
[17:39:11] | justinh: | and no, the usenet traffic to their own servers doesn't seem to be capped |
[17:40:18] | justinh: | anyway, still – no matter how bad VM get they've still got a long way to catch up with Murdoch's merry bunch |
[17:41:30] | justinh: | course, Sky offer on-demand TV via your PC, but it's all DRM riddled shite, AND it eats into your quota. so they can shove that up their shiny arses too |

[18:19:04] | stuarta: | if you manage to need to renew your tax disk, at about the same time as the insurance renewal |
[18:19:19] | stuarta: | there is no way to convince the website you have insurance |
[18:19:22] | justinh: | I'd assume that if you've renewed online, you're renewed regardless |

[22:49:40] | directhex: | how are you capturing these HD streams you intend on transcoding? |
[22:50:39] | Alexman: | i'll capture this streams using DVB-S2 |
[22:50:59] | iamlindoro: | wait, I'll just say that unless you intend to transcode to 200x200, no fucking way, no. at all. No. |
[22:51:15] | iamlindoro: | assuming you mean encoding = transcoding |
[22:51:30] | Alexman: | yep, from mpeg2 |
[22:51:32] | iamlindoro: | whereas if you just mean capture, sure, easy no problem |
[22:51:49] | directhex: | Alexman, if it comes from dvb-s2, it will ALREADY be h264 or mpeg2. why do you want to transcode it again? what to? |
[22:52:34] | directhex: | Alexman, mythtv does not do on-the-fly transcoding from data sources anyway, so th question doesn't really apply to mythtv if your source is dvb |
[22:52:52] | Alexman: | i'm dummy on this field |
[22:53:29] | iamlindoro: | Alexman: Digital tuners (DVB included) capture pre-encoded streams, ie they are compressed at the broadcaster side |
[22:53:33] | Alexman: | just want to know if that system can maintain max load |
[22:53:40] | blackest: | would you believe i wanted the username of bvcfxbcvxkbncvknbzdxcxc,vn,xcvnsdsnksndsn on skype and apparently somebody is already using it |
[22:53:49] | iamlindoro: | if all you want to do is share them with other systems, there is no reason to transcode anything. |
[22:54:27] | iamlindoro: | presuming the machines you want to share them with have the horsepower to play back the original streams, that is |
[22:54:46] | Alexman: | apple tv match? |
[22:55:00] | directhex: | Alexman, your question is invalid for mythtv, and full of holes which detail what kind of load would be required. there's no simple answer |

[23:10:54] | dustybin: | perfect for desktop |
[23:11:15] | dustybin: | most people upgrade, i downgrade |

[23:11:53] | dustybin: | im not that bad |
[23:12:06] | dustybin: | the build quality of my IBM is excellent |
[23:12:09] | dustybin: | it feels solid |

[23:12:24] | iamlindoro: | er piece of junk |

[23:14:27] | dustybin: | do you know you could put a IDE > CF inside a mythtv frontend and use a hitachi microdrive what is a 1" hard drive and use that to boot a frontend |
[23:14:33] | iamlindoro: | that's the only piece of old stuff I'll allow in the house |

[23:14:57] | iamlindoro: | dustybin: yes, but then I'd punch myself in the face for being an idiot and not netbooting in the first place |
[23:15:03] | directhex: | dustybin, welcome to several years ago |
[23:15:16] | dustybin: | iamlindoro: netbooting is messy business, after reading more about it i dont like the sound of it |
[23:15:19] | directhex: | dustybin, you can do the whole thing just booting off a usb stick for a fraction of the cost & effort |
[23:15:21] | dustybin: | its a bit too hit and miss |
[23:15:33] | iamlindoro: | dustybin: Well, I guess you're the expert, what with having read about it online |
[23:15:36] | EnderTheThird: | iamlindoro: I want xfs if i'm mostly going to be archiving my DVDs and BDs onto the HDD, right? |
[23:15:49] | directhex: | EnderTheThird, IMHO, yes |
[23:16:05] | dustybin: | iamlindoro: with netbooting you risk stability |
[23:16:12] | iamlindoro: | EnderTheThird: I try not to get into the FS war, but I have EXT3 and XFS partitions-- mostly a matter of comfort I think |
[23:16:31] | iamlindoro: | dustybin: Again, don't need a lecture about netboot (as a person who does it) from a person who never has |
[23:16:36] | EnderTheThird: | I just remember reading that XFS is good for big files, which backups definitely would be, heh |

[23:18:13] | EnderTheThird: | Meh, you never know. I do remember my BE slowing to a halt when I used ext3 for recordings, heh |
[23:18:22] | dustybin: | do you think it would be possible to replace the fans inside my old ibm netvista with silent ones? |
[23:18:23] | EnderTheThird: | deleting stuff was a nightmare, ha |
[23:19:59] | iamlindoro: | dustybin: to silence fans you either need larger slower moving fans, or to find some passive means of cooling. Anything can be quieted by a motivated modder, but may not be worth it |
[23:20:11] | dustybin: | ok |
[23:20:39] | EnderTheThird: | any of you guys backed up BDs before? I got a 1GB drive for dirt cheap so I wanted to give it a whirl. |
[23:21:05] | EvilGuru: | Major weirdness today... couple of recordings over the past day had the first 5 minutes as corrupt as a politician and another recording did not want to be deinterlaced totally by YADIF |

[23:22:28] | iamlindoro: | EnderTheThird: I've used DumpHD to do it, but to be perfectly honest, you would be far, far better served using AnyDVD HD under Windows |
[23:22:49] | iamlindoro: | I keep a dumpy windows box in the corner w/ a Blu-ray drive *just* to rip my Bluray films |
[23:22:53] | directhex: | EnderTheThird, given keydb.cfg's lack of content, does copypasting the data files work if you have anydvdhd installed on windows? |
[23:23:05] | directhex: | damn, as i was typing... |
[23:23:10] | directhex: | should re-learn touchtyping |
[23:23:14] | directhex: | and that was for iamlindoro |
[23:23:21] | directhex: | oh fuck it, bedtime obviously |
[23:23:25] | iamlindoro: | They have defeated BD+, which all the new disks are, and there's no open source decrypt for that. Also, AACS is done with an algorithm instead of, as directhex said, a keys file |
[23:23:26] | EnderTheThird: | i figured it wasn't for me, heh |
[23:24:05] | iamlindoro: | I think it's probably the best $60 ($70 maybe?) piece of software I've ever purchased |
[23:24:06] | EnderTheThird: | iamlindoro: the Windows software is better for it eh? Bummer. I only have Linux boxes set up. |
[23:24:16] | EnderTheThird: | or easier, whatever |
[23:24:16] | iamlindoro: | So, so so much better for it |
[23:24:29] | iamlindoro: | And believe me, I'd love to have the open solution trump it, but it is *way* off |
[23:24:34] | EnderTheThird: | iamlindoro: ever tried doing it in a VM? |
[23:24:49] | iamlindoro: | once we have an open solution playback from the disk will be possible, but until then, AnyDVD is the leader by a long shot |
[23:24:51] | iamlindoro: | EnderTheThird: Can't |
[23:25:09] | iamlindoro: | Can't get the drive access it needs AFAIK |
[23:25:38] | EnderTheThird: | oh, with BD? |
[23:25:56] | iamlindoro: | with any of the formats it rips |
[23:26:13] | EnderTheThird: | Checking to see if you meant the media or the HDD storage |
[23:26:16] | EnderTheThird: | :) |
[23:26:26] | iamlindoro: | I meand the BD media, yeah |
[23:26:28] | iamlindoro: | er meant |
[23:26:46] | EnderTheThird: | Hmm, well maybe I'll have to screw around with DumpHD for awhile to see how it handles it. |
[23:27:02] | EnderTheThird: | Do you backup the entire disk, or just the movie track/title? |
[23:27:30] | iamlindoro: | The other sucky thing? Last time I did it the keysdb wasn't concatenated together in a single source, so you have to put the codes you need into yours from what you find in the Doom9 thread about it |
[23:27:33] | iamlindoro: | Whole disk |
[23:28:02] | iamlindoro: | Here's the howto in case you hadn't found it: http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/Bluray |
[23:28:22] | EnderTheThird: | Yeah, I remember checking that out, but thanks for the clicky anyway. |

[23:28:27] | iamlindoro: | now for food |
[23:28:51] | EnderTheThird: | Tonight's cheap fajita night at Don Pablo's, then off to see Hancock |
[23:29:53] | EnderTheThird: | If I copy the root Linux files to a different partition, do I have to edit Grub to make it boot of the new partition/HDD, or will it auto-detect that change? It will still be the primary drive, so I don't think it'll matter, but what do I know, heh |
[23:32:16] | clever: | EnderTheThird: depeneds on if your using the uuid or not and other things |
[23:32:55] | EnderTheThird: | hmm, guess i'll need to just give it a shot and see what happens. if it doesn't work, i'll reconnect the original one and mess with it |
[23:33:12] | EnderTheThird: | I think it is using UUIDs though, so it won't be as easy as i'd like. |
[23:33:27] | clever: | uuid's actualy make force you to change it |
[23:33:42] | clever: | because the new filesystem(assuming you just copyed the files) would have its own uuid |

[23:35:25] | clever: | so far ive got the old grub booting the new drive |
[23:35:32] | clever: | but i havent gotten grub working right on the new drive |

Anyhow, for some reason all myth windows are entirely black, with a blue border around them. They display fine if I use X forwarding to another box, so it has to be something with that x driver or some such... |
[23:38:02] | dude: | I heard myth moved to opengl, but support wasn't compiled in according to ./configure... any idea what I'm missing? |
[23:38:25] | directhex: | myth has 2 painters, qt and opengl |
[23:38:27] | directhex: | for the menus, this is |

[23:46:15] | dude: | frankly, it makes me angry to see X denying things to myth... |
[23:46:28] | dude: | no, just the cool and wacky X driver for the pvr-350 |
