[01:30:08] pac1: how do I tell which qam my cable is using? 64, 128, 256?
[01:31:14] otwin: pac1: iirc, there are cards that report signal strength somewhat reversed, so it can be 0 is not 0 – but i would check the cable first if you have doubts...
[01:33:42] otwin: after what really matters is SNR – but for those cards it would be NSR...
[01:33:59] otwin: *after all*
[01:37:46] Anduin: pac1: guess and check, or see if someone has done it for you (which qam) qam256 is a good starting place (as is the HDHR page if they have your area)

[08:23:16] mzb_d800: I'm attempting to write a small script that looks for a show by title and then records it
[08:23:25] mzb_d800: (control by sms ... long story)
[08:23:59] mzb_d800: looking at the record table, do I need to enter *all* the details?
[08:24:10] mzb_d800: any ideas/suggestions
[08:24:35] mzb_d800: example of sms might be "record doctor who"
[08:24:53] mzb_d800: and the theory is that it would then reply with something like:
[08:25:32] mzb_d800: "The next showing of Doctor Who is at 2008-07–06 19:30 as is already scheduled."
[08:25:33] mzb_d800: or
[08:25:45] mzb_d800: "The next showing of Doctor Who is at 2008-07–06 19:30 and will be recorded."
[08:26:42] mzb_d800: so, what I've got is a small query that looks for Doctor Who in the program table, any timedate after now, sorted by timedate and chanid
[08:26:52] mzb_d800: (it appears I'm talking to myself;))
[08:27:24] mzb_d800: should I grab *all* the details from the program table and just insert a new entry in the record table?
[08:27:30] mzb_d800: or is there a better way?
[08:29:39] mzb_d800: Gumby: you need to have the recordings folder mounted on the transcoding machine in the same place as that of the recording host

[17:31:07] bsdfox: I'm running .21-fixes though
[17:31:18] s1: My problem is that the channels and programs aren't named
[17:31:23] s1: all I get is unnamed
[17:31:28] wagnerrp: dl, youre helping develop mythtv?
[17:31:30] bsdfox: s1: run mythfilldatabase
[17:31:36] s1: the mythfilldatabase went fine
[17:31:46] bsdfox: try running it again
[17:31:49] bsdfox: it crashes a lot
[17:31:54] s1: it found all my channels
[17:32:12] s1: well, did a --manual twice :)
[17:32:41] dl: wagnerrp: nope — I've just been using trunk for a year or so with no real problems, until this qt4 switch.
[17:33:02] bsdfox: dl: I ended up reverting to .21-fixes because of that switch
[17:33:10] wagnerrp: if youre not actively developing, stay off trunk until the switch is finished
[17:33:15] s1: bsdfox: do I need to stop the backend to run fill db?
[17:33:18] wagnerrp: basically... its not going to work until its done
[17:33:21] bsdfox: s1: nop
[17:33:22] bsdfox: e
[17:33:46] dl: :) ok.
[17:33:53] s1: ok, running a fill db again
[17:34:46] s1: bsdfox: if the filldb works, will that show in mythweb?
[17:34:53] bsdfox: s1: yeah
[17:35:03] s1: still a no go
[17:35:22] s1: I have E8 UnknownE8 as channel names and no listings
[17:35:33] s1: is my setup wrong?
[17:37:50] wagnerrp: where are you pulling these channels from?
[17:37:59] wagnerrp: EIT, XMLTV, SchedulesDirect?

[21:45:40] iamlindoro: though if you updated the db from a .21-fixes compatible version any time in the recent past, it should have dumped a backup into your recordings directory

[22:36:08] iamlindoro: EvilGuru: At least you're smart enough to use a supported card instead of trying to hack the shit out of everything because S2 must be twice as good :)
[22:36:24] EvilGuru: Precisely
[22:36:34] EvilGuru: £20 vs £80; Supported vs Unsupported
[22:37:15] EvilGuru: By the time S2 is worth it my backend will probably be totally different (and so a PCI-e card may be feasible)
[22:37:44] iamlindoro: Yeah, may be a while but a HVR-4000 sounds like a sweet deal for you guys once everything settles down and works right
[22:38:16] EvilGuru: I read that it is either DVB-T or DVB-S(2) at any one time
[22:40:26] EvilGuru: I'll need to check, but I think it is cheaper to by a Nova-T-500 (dual DVB-T2) and a S2 card (can't remember the name)
[22:41:06] Dibblah: The T 500 is dual DVB-T
[22:41:35] Dibblah: Since the T2 standard is (only just?) ratified.

[23:05:56] nuonguy: iamlindoro: lemme see
[23:06:33] nuonguy: no
[23:06:37] gbee: if not, add it and run ldconfig
[23:06:42] gbee: then configure again (just to be sure)
[23:06:57] nuonguy: I haven't even maintained /etc/ld.so.conf
[23:07:37] iamlindoro: In most distros you wouldn't need to. If the file exists but not the entry, then in this case you will need to
[23:07:45] nuonguy: currently it just says include ld.so.conf.d/*.conf
[23:08:24] gbee: add /usr/lib64/ one line down
[23:09:31] nuonguy: that seems to have fixed it
[23:09:41] nuonguy: I don't really understand what ld.so.conf is for
[23:10:40] gbee: tells the linker, ld, where to find installed libs
[23:10:57] Dagmar: It's for speed.
[23:11:07] nuonguy: and the rpm doesn't do that when I install the rpm?
[23:11:11] iamlindoro: Now you can go yell at your packager while myth compiles :)
[23:11:26] Dagmar: It reads through those libs and makes notes about all the various symbols and etc that's in them, and stores them all in ld.so.cache
[23:11:39] nuonguy: I see
[23:12:01] Dagmar: So basically, when you run a binary and it calls for libs, the linker doesn't have to do a lot of work to find them.

[23:12:21] Dagmar: ...because the filename of those libs is basically just window-dressing
[23:12:43] nuonguy: yell at the livna maintainers?
[23:12:51] gbee: nuonguy: /usr/lib64/ _should_ be one of the directories it looks at, but obviously something isn't right with the distro/packages because it wasn't there :)
[23:13:30] Dagmar: rpm *could* do that, but it's not entirely correct for it *to* do it
[23:13:56] nuonguy: in which case would it not be correct?
[23:14:04] Dagmar: ...and it would be terribly time consuming if you installed say, 25 packages at once, and it ran ldconfig after each and every install
[23:15:01] Dagmar: This is why it's basically up to the system administrator (or interface acting as their proxy) to run ldconfig after any batch of packages have been installed that might involve requiring a change to the linker's cache because of new shared-libraries being installed.
[23:15:06] gbee: yeah, individual packages shouldn't be doing it, the common library installation locations should be preconfigured in the ld package
[23:15:39] Dagmar: There's also the small matter that technically, the rpm package can't "know" if it's libraries are being installed in a place the system will be looking for them at the moment.
[23:16:36] nuonguy: but in the case of lame, the rpm does know where it's installed and since it is not a system lib, odds are low that it's being installed 24 other libs
[23:17:13] Dagmar: The cache could be pointing to say, a set of 64-bit optimized libs (bad example, I know) and if rpm ran ldconfig, it would effect what amounts to a system-wide change when a package manager is only supposed to perform that one atomic operation, i.e., getting the files installed to the filesystem and optionally "set up" for that filesystem
[23:17:48] Dagmar: nuonguy: When you install Linux, it installed over a hundred packages.
[23:17:56] gbee: different distros take a different approach, afaik Mandriva for example runs ldconfig after installing libs although it might be done after all packages are installed rather than after each one, this is certainly convenient
[23:18:08] Dagmar: You'd basically be doubling or more the time it takes to install them if rpm ran ldconfig after each one
[23:18:29] gbee: however occassionally libs get installed to weird and non-standard locations so I have to manually add the paths

[23:23:00] Dagmar: nuonguy: I'd say more like Qt needs to have had sql support built in, or like gbee is hinting, you've got the wrong version for trunk
[23:23:16] Dagmar: You need 0.21-fixes to use Qt-3.x
[23:24:00] gbee: he has, that's a trunk source (libmythdb) but "qt-3.3"

[23:24:40] Dagmar: nuonguy: You're probably going to want to at least temporarily remove Qt3, but... I'm thinking you just need to set the QTDIR variables properly.
[23:24:48] gbee: nuonguy: run "make distclean", then "./configure --qmake=/path/to/qt4/qmake"

[23:26:35] nuonguy: when I ran configure it figured out the qmake setting
[23:27:01] Dagmar: It may have picked up on the 3.3 version of qmake

[23:27:53] gbee: nuonguy: was this an old checkout that you are updating? easiest if you just follow what I said above about the "make distclean" which will clear out any Makefiles which are still pointing to qt3
[23:27:58] nuonguy: is it safe to yank qt3 from Fedora 8?
[23:28:12] Dagmar: Are you using it for anything other than MythTV?
[23:28:24] Dagmar: It's the include paths you're going to have to change
[23:28:24] nuonguy: I checked it out a coupla days ago than ran svn up a few minutes ago
[23:28:28] nuonguy: yes
[23:29:59] nuonguy: you mean I have to use --extra-cflags?
