| [00:33:31] | De_Wr0ng: | well, our only HD cable provider has 10 – 15 channels |

| [00:42:56] | gbee: | true, but De_Wr0ng might just have money to burn ;) |
| [00:42:59] | De_Wr0ng: | let's pretend money is not an option |
| [00:44:59] | gbee: | not sure I'd be so quick to specify Nvidia over ATi either, but there is a long history of nvidia bias when it comes to linux and I'm not going to change overnight ;) |

| [13:37:58] | mzb_d800: | rm -rf /my/recordings ? ;) |
| [13:38:33] | ajh: | Computers tend to be very good at tedious repetetive activities, no sense making the user do the same. |
| [13:39:34] | mzb_d800: | :) |
| [13:39:53] | mzb_d800: | sorry, couldn't come up with a real answer |
| [13:40:09] | ajh: | I'm just migrating things off the an h.264 video server, so converting but then want to remove the old ones. |
| [13:40:27] | mzb_d800: | can you add recordings to a playlist and then delete them? |
| [13:40:51] | ajh: | Possibly, but I'm generally working from mythweb since I'm at a desk vs the tv. |
| [13:41:08] | ajh: | I should try that, I've never actually used playlist options, they didn't seem to save much work though. |
| [13:41:49] | ajh: | Still have to deal with multiple selects and waiting between them, I just want to be able to checkbox a bunch of stuff and do an action on it, one of the oldest UI optimizations :) |

| [13:44:04] | ajh: | Would be nice to see what's coming up on your calendar. |
| [13:44:20] | ajh: | Yay, convergence. :) |
| [13:47:01] | mzb_d800: | :) |
| [13:47:39] | ajh: | Anyone working on an iphone streaming server? :) |
| [13:49:41] | rooaus: | ajh: You can delete all recordings in a playlist in the frontend. Also see http://svn.mythtv.org/trac/ticket/5371 |
| [13:50:23] | ajh: | rooaus, yes but to add them all to a playlist is tedious, being able ot delete all in a group would be much more useful since you can put them in groups when you record. |
| [13:50:54] | ajh: | If you need to click through them all anyway it really isn't saving time. |
| [13:52:18] | rooaus: | Just add the recording group to the playlist. :) |
| [13:52:31] | ajh: | Can you do that? :) |
| [13:52:52] | ajh: | Still not ideal though since I'm copying by creating named links and scping those off, which is group agnostic. |
| [13:53:11] | ajh: | If I could get mytharchive to actually do what I wanted I'd probably be good. :) |
| [13:53:26] | rooaus: | yep, from memory you need to have the recording group selected, not a recording to see the option. |
| [13:54:00] | ajh: | As long as the idea is out there it has a chance of happening though, that's the beauty of free software, continual evolution. |
| [13:54:31] | ajh: | Doing mythweb with a rich interface would be really neat though, drag and drop etc. |
| [13:55:08] | mzb_d800: | if that's the case, you can create a search, show searches in the programme list => select the search, add to playlist and delete all selected |
| [13:55:11] | mzb_d800: | right? |
| [13:55:19] | ajh: | Though I think I figured out a way to use multiple USB h.264 keys. |
| [13:55:30] | ajh: | Ah, that would make sense. |
| [13:56:02] | ajh: | If I can get this box doing 8 concurrent mpeg2ts->h.264's I'll be happy. :) |
| [13:56:21] | ajh: | de-interlaced h.264 looks so much nicer on playback. |
| [13:56:36] | ajh: | realtime de-interlacing just isn't there yet on our hardware. |
| [13:57:05] | ajh: | If I had the space I'd pre-scale as well, but then you never know what the native resolution of your next display is. |
| [13:57:30] | ajh: | Thanks though, I'll try the search open! |
| [13:57:33] | ajh: | er, option! |
| [13:57:56] | mzb_d800: | only a guess on my part ... not prepared to delete|try anything like that myself ;) |
| [13:58:21] | ajh: | Well, it's always an experiment :) |
| [13:58:39] | ajh: | I'm just happy I haven't trashed mysql in weeks. :) |

| [15:17:14] | justinh: | but it's probably worth sticking with it |
| [15:17:16] | sebrock: | well I dont find all the names very consistent... Im not using the managed tree mode, All I have is maybe 10 songs in a scroll list. But I cant find the container for where the text is |
| [15:17:26] | sebrock: | justinh, is that so? total redesign? |
| [15:17:36] | justinh: | ah the single list view is a different container |
| [15:18:01] | gbee: | total redesign and if I get time mythmusic will be an even more complete re-write |
| [15:18:22] | ajh: | and yes, they've dropped their prices dramatically. |
| [15:18:30] | ajh: | oops :) |
| [15:18:50] | justinh: | hrm. my theme-fu is a little rusty |
| [15:19:09] | sebrock: | All I find is these bins... I use the view without the tree. |
| [15:20:44] | justinh: | right, IIRC the area the single list lives in is governed by the first area definition inside the musictreelist managedtreelist |
| [15:21:19] | justinh: | one of the music-ui.xml files has plenty of comments which always helps remind me ;) |
| [15:21:56] | justinh: | stuff like "regular area, but is only used if the user has ShowWholeTree set to false." |
| [15:22:33] | justinh: | I only ever use the single list view. can't stand managedtreelists one bit |
| [15:22:58] | justinh: | not only because of how they treat my selection bar graphic but that's a big factor :P |
| [15:23:45] | sebrock: | so moving the list a bit to the right is this what I need to change: <area>32,0,1200,296</area> |
| [15:23:56] | justinh: | yep, I think so |
| [15:24:05] | sebrock: | I'll give it a try |

| [16:17:16] | ajh: | Still want to work on my overlay FUSE media filesystem idea though, where you can store multiple versions of the same file for different purposes under the same name. |
| [16:18:19] | ajh: | So you can do things like keep the lossless and lossy encoded versions, and things like unscaled and scaled. |
| [16:18:53] | ajh: | Perhaps I'll get time to write that paper this year. |
| [16:19:35] | ajh: | Mostly the original idea was so you could keep thumbnails, jpegs and raw versions of photos without needing to have a ton of file references visible to the user. |
| [16:19:53] | ajh: | When you generated the other versions it would just cache them. |

| [20:44:08] | dustybin: | does every coax coming off a sat dish need its own tuner? |
| [20:44:24] | dustybin: | so if i wanted 2x tuners with freesat, id need 2 coaxes coming off the dish? |
| [20:44:28] | Dagmar: | The ones you want to watch do |
| [20:45:02] | AndyCap: | dustybin: or some unicable switches. |
| [20:45:08] | dustybin: | eek |
| [20:45:28] | dustybin: | i think id need a quad LNB? |
| [20:45:41] | dustybin: | then 2–4 DVB-S cards? |
| [20:45:59] | AndyCap: | depends what you mean by need. |
| [20:46:11] | dustybin: | well at the moment, im using a Nova-T dual tuner |
| [20:46:18] | dustybin: | which is ace |
| [20:46:43] | dustybin: | if i want to do the same thing with free sat in the UK id need a dual LNB |

| [20:46:52] | dustybin: | and have 2x DVB-s cards |
| [20:47:04] | J-e-f-f-A: | dustybin: How many sats are you pointed at? |
| [20:47:09] | dustybin: | just 1 |
| [20:47:10] | dustybin: | freesat |
| [20:47:22] | Smirnov: | i was wondering if anyone here has a suggestion for me.. my htpc has got dual monitors |
| [20:47:23] | dustybin: | 1 bird |
| [20:47:40] | dustybin: | but if i wanted to record say 2 things at the same time id need dual LNB |
| [20:47:50] | J-e-f-f-A: | dustybin: And a standard LNB? [not bandstacked] |
| [20:47:51] | Smirnov: | but whenever i turn off my receiver and turn on my htpc it will switch the primary monitor to the first monitor and then it wont detect my TV until after i reboot |
| [20:48:06] | dustybin: | J-e-f-f-A: yes standard |
| [20:48:09] | Smirnov: | is there some kind of dummy hdmi connector dealie i can do to make it think my receiver/tv is always on |
| [20:48:17] | Winkie_ (Winkie_!n=urmom@86-53-239-23.cust.telecomplete.net) has joined #mythtv-users | |
| [20:48:55] | J-e-f-f-A: | Smirnov: You need to add a line to your xorg.conf to tell it to always assume a TV is connected then. |
| [20:49:16] | AndyCap: | Smirnov: at least nvidia driver has an option to force monitor detection |
| [20:49:22] | J-e-f-f-A: | dustybin: And it's a single LNB with two outputs, right, and just one cable now coming from it? |
| [20:49:27] | Smirnov: | J-e-f-f-A: hmm i dual boot into windows sometimes,any way to do this using a hardware solution maybe |
| [20:49:55] | J-e-f-f-A: | Smirnov: Perhaps... I don't know. |
| [20:49:57] | AndyCap: | Smirnov: dvi detective or something like that to cache EDID |
| [20:50:04] | wagnerrp: | U3, cant you just reformat those and trash the U3 partition? |
| [20:50:17] | Dagmar: | Nope. |
| [20:50:36] | dustybin: | J-e-f-f-A: yes, 1 LNB, 2 outputs, each output connected to a different DVB-S card, so i can record different channels at the same time etc |
| [20:50:46] | Dagmar: | Moving/changing the reserved filesystem isn't just a matter of using fdisk |
| [20:50:51] | Smirnov: | AndyCap: oy beautiful, that sounds ike what i needed |
| [20:51:16] | J-e-f-f-A: | dustybin: So if you're talking just 2 tuners, you just need an additional cable to go to the 2nd output on the LNB. If you want to go beyond 2, you'll need to add a switch. |
| [20:51:18] | wagnerrp: | ive multiple times refused to use a friend's flash drive as soon as that U3 shit popped up |
| [20:51:29] | Smirnov: | definitely a bit pricey though.. ill have to use the xorg option for my 2nd htpc which is linux only |
| [20:51:33] | wagnerrp: | just yanked the drive before it could continue installing |
| [20:51:48] | AndyCap: | wagnerrp: so why do you have autorun on cd enabled? |
| [20:51:58] | dustybin: | J-e-f-f-A: what about a LNB with 4 outputs? |
| [20:52:00] | wagnerrp: | too lazy to disable it |
| [20:52:20] | Smirnov: | J-e-f-f-A: if i force it, then it'll fix the problem where sometimes i need to reboot my computer to get the display to show up again? |
| [20:52:38] | Smirnov: | cause sometimes I have to restart X to get my display to come back |
| [20:52:46] | J-e-f-f-A: | dustybin: That would work... Assuming it's a single LNB with 4 outputs – in the US, the typical 4-port LNBs are dual ones for Dish network... |
| [20:53:10] | J-e-f-f-A: | Smirnov: It will fix it for Linux, but not winblows. ;-) |
| [20:53:43] | AndyCap: | dustybin: also depends on what kind of outputs it has. some are for 4 tuners and some are for switches and output Horiz/Vert Hi/Lo on separate connectors. (Quad vs. Quattro) |
| [20:53:51] | Smirnov: | J-e-f-f-A: heh yeah i have my own htpc it runs mythtv only and my dads does not run linux only |
| [20:54:45] | Smirnov: | AndyCap: that dvi detective thing will work with hdcp right? |
| [20:55:04] | AndyCap: | Smirnov: no idea. i stay away from hdcp |
| [20:55:08] | dustybin: | ok, on my nova-t i can use that new feature, multi-rec, what gives me virtual 4 tuners, by recording channels off the same mux, etc, in the sat world, can you also do the same thing by recording the same channels off the same transponders? |
| [20:55:22] | Smirnov: | AndyCap: yeah i would too but its the easiest way to play the blurays from netflix |
| [20:55:40] | wagnerrp: | Smirnov: linux will not work with HDCP, it requires OS support |
| [20:55:51] | wagnerrp: | as well as application support |
| [20:55:54] | Smirnov: | wagnerrp: i know.. as i said i have to boot into windows sometimes ;) |
| [20:55:56] | J-e-f-f-A: | Ok, time to work on my sat dish while there's still light.. ;-) Been in the same spot for 7 years, needs slight adjustment of either the alighment or a branch or two... ;-) |
| [20:56:11] | Smirnov: | hell i'd rather not but gotta do what you gotta do |
| [20:56:20] | ** J-e-f-f-A goes outside... ;-) ** | |
| [20:56:36] | Smirnov: | maybe one day they will break HDCP and we will get it on Linux but until then |

| [20:57:45] | Smirnov: | i would expect not |
| [20:58:00] | wagnerrp: | you can run HDCP over DVI |
| [20:58:16] | Smirnov: | yeah but thats the end-to-end devices that need to support it |

| [20:58:35] | Smirnov: | i mean i dont think a dvi detective would break hdcp would it, wagnerrp ? |
| [20:58:37] | AndyCap: | Smirnov: doesn't mean that having an edid cache in the middle won't break it |
| [20:58:47] | Smirnov: | hmmm i guess i'll double check |
| [20:59:07] | Smirnov: | AndyCap: what kramer ? i only see gefen detectives |
| [20:59:38] | damian666: | hi folks, is it possible to tell mythtv only to deinterlace dvb-streams only if they are interlaced ?? cause i tried some settings on progressive hd material and with interlacer enabled there is about +20% usage on one cpu ( is it maybe just the overhead for detecting progressive material)? |
| [21:00:04] | wagnerrp: | i dont know, i assume the detective just captures and repeats the EDID data, rather than any actual video data |

| [21:04:58] | wagnerrp: | you know, its funny |
| [21:05:12] | Smirnov: | whats that? |
| [21:05:15] | wagnerrp: | movie studios keep making these sci-fi films where all of the technology magically works together |
| [21:05:29] | wagnerrp: | so then they produce devices to make sure that cannot happen |
| [21:05:38] | Smirnov: | its not just movie studios, every tech company thinks the future is synergized devices |
| [21:05:48] | Smirnov: | and then they never agree on an open standard to make it happen :) |

| [21:57:21] | wagnerrp: | so change the default aspect ratio |
| [21:57:35] | wagnerrp: | or just hit 'w' a couple of times |
| [21:58:36] | justinh: | so you have a wide TV, but what res is X running at? |
| [21:58:46] | jimbalaya: | wagnerrp: that zooms, so the edges are clipped, is that normal? |
| [21:58:59] | justinh: | if it's still a 4:3 resolution (which it always would be if PAL or NTSC) you can force an override |
| [21:59:04] | jimbalaya: | i'm running at an odd res – 1360x768 or something ... let me double check |
| [21:59:13] | wagnerrp: | you can zoom, but you can also put it in 4:3 and 16:9 mode, no overscaling |
| [21:59:24] | justinh: | jimbalaya: using svideo or composite out of a graphics card? |
| [21:59:32] | jimbalaya: | out of card, is vga |

| [22:54:24] | ajh: | With 0.21 does coreavc still need a patch? |
| [22:56:07] | ajh: | There are a lot of references, but nothing with versions in it. |
| [22:56:20] | Aval0n: | yes |
| [22:56:24] | ajh: | OK, thanks. |
| [22:56:25] | Aval0n: | it still has to be patched in |
| [22:56:29] | Aval0n: | it's a windows thing |
| [22:56:32] | Aval0n: | it's more of a hack |
| [22:56:38] | Aval0n: | I would expect native support for it any time soon. |
| [22:56:48] | Aval0n: | wouldn't*** |

| [22:57:25] | ajh: | Yeah, a better open h.264 decoder would of course be better, I'm only getting minor hiccups on 720p stuff. |
| [22:57:55] | ajh: | Probably just upgrade the cpu too I guess. |
| [22:58:25] | laga: | you can also try trunk + janneg's updated ffmpeg merge |
| [22:58:36] | ajh: | Actually, looks like I haven't done any OC either. |
| [22:58:46] | ajh: | Where would I find that? |
| [22:59:19] | laga: | http://www.grunau.be/ffmpeg_sync_14670.diff.bz2 |
| [22:59:24] | laga: | that's the ffmpeg patch |
| [22:59:27] | ajh: | Thanks. |
| [22:59:30] | laga: | of course, usual trunk warnings apply |
| [23:00:11] | ajh: | Yeah, I've been really crazy busy with Linux Symposium stuff for the last few months so couldn't keep up to date on what's going on. Any sense when 0.22 will go? |
| [23:00:56] | laga: | no clue |
| [23:01:05] | laga: | if you're "really crazy busy", then trunk is probably not for you. |
| [23:01:13] | ajh: | Yeah, that's what I'm thinking. |
| [23:01:24] | ajh: | I can live with some hiccups for now. :) |
| [23:01:35] | ajh: | Mostly the h.264 stuff is archive anyway. |
| [23:01:41] | laga: | coreavc seems to work well here, although the howtos are a bit lacking. i've hooked up my 22" tft to my radeon 9250 now and HD playback is really slow – dunno why that happens. |

| [23:02:01] | laga: | someone else also had that problem, it doesnt happen for him with ffmpeg. i'll experiment some more tomorrow |
| [23:02:18] | ajh: | Yeah, guess I'll avoid touching a working thing for now :) Moving in 3 months on top of everything else. |
| [23:02:33] | ajh: | I can't see pointing the dish under Linux being a fun thing. |
| [23:03:29] | ajh: | OK, thanks for the input. |

| [23:13:14] | my2keh: | I suggest that |
| [23:13:23] | my2keh: | or have another type of box that helps you |
| [23:13:30] | my2keh: | ie set top box from sat company |
| [23:13:31] | my2keh: | or FTA |
