[00:00:44] SerajewelKS: the fact that myth sometimes runs on the other core doesn't seem to impact input processing it all
[00:01:52] SerajewelKS: i'm still not sure why X would be using 75% cpu when displaying 1280x1024 video
[00:02:29] Striker: that's really weird...
[00:02:40] Dagmar: Turn on UseEvents
[00:02:41] Striker: aren't there different draw methods for the guide?
[00:02:46] Dagmar: It's mentioned in the nVidia driver readme for a reason
[00:03:01] Dagmar: ...and NO don't just throw that token in there somewhere without reading hte readme. I will not explain it again to anyone ever.
[00:03:18] SerajewelKS: Dagmar: heh, i have not looked at the readme since setting up the driver some years ago
[00:03:22] Dagmar: It will, however, seriously reduce CPU load resulting from XvMC.
[00:03:30] [gquit]bombadil ([gquit]bombadil!n=dana@CPE-70-94-44-157.wi.res.rr.com) has joined #mythtv-users
[00:03:43] Dagmar: SerajewelKS: They've made a lot of changes and additions. There's that and one other option that is only *sometiems* handy
[00:03:58] Dagmar: I try to read it through about once a year just to catch up
[00:05:01] abarber: Dagmar: i am trying to play the 1080p trailers i got from apple yesterday, but they struggle in myth and won't play with audio in vlc
[00:05:06] SerajewelKS: hmm, looks interesting. which other option were you referring to?
[00:05:39] Dagmar: abarber: Welcome to "h264-encoded media is a spiteful bitch to play under Linux"
[00:05:56] Dagmar: SerajewelKS: Since it wasn't useful for me, I can't remember what it was
[00:05:58] Dagmar: hehe
[00:06:17] abarber: haha
[00:06:19] SerajewelKS: Dagmar: nods, makes sense. we'll see if this one does the trick.
[00:06:21] Dagmar: UseEvents tho is a pretty serious switch between what amounts to the differnece between using a spinlock and watching for an IRQ
[00:06:23] abarber: is there any hope?
[00:06:48] SerajewelKS: yeah, spinlocks are not very efficient
[00:06:52] Dagmar: abarber: Actually yes but that's 2–3 months away. In the meantime there's this thing called a skiploopfilter patch that might help
[00:07:00] Dagmar: h264 uses CRAPTONS of CPU power
[00:07:22] Dagmar: ...partly because there's a final phase of decoding that fills in all the little bitty details (I am somewhat simplifying here mind you)
[00:07:36] abarber: sure
[00:07:42] Dagmar: You can actually turn that phase off, and lose some image quality, but then playback can be done with a 2.2Ghz core CPU
[00:07:48] Hoxzer (Hoxzer!n=dsadsad@dsl-hkigw7-fe1df900-39.dhcp.inet.fi) has quit (Read error: 104 (Connection reset by peer))
[00:08:01] abarber: it seems odd that it doesn't struggle with the video, but rather, with the audio instead

[00:08:57] chrissss (chrissss!n=chris@static-87-79-239-136.netcologne.de) has joined #mythtv-users
[00:09:58] SerajewelKS: Dagmar: restarted X, i don't know if that option already is having an effect or if most of the startup disk reads were cache hits, but X started much faster and my desktop environment did too
[00:10:04] mkrufky (mkrufky!n=mk@unaffiliated/mkrufky) has left #mythtv-users ()
[00:10:08] Dagmar: That's probably cache
[00:10:38] Dagmar: When XvMC is being used and worked hard, you should see much less CPU load with that option on
[00:10:52] SerajewelKS: ugh nope, X still reaching 100% of one core
[00:10:55] abarber: oh, and i'll add this as well...mkv files are playing fine, but .mov's struggle
[00:11:15] Dagmar: abarber: About all you can do is keep pounding on the ffmpeg libs
[00:11:23] Hoxzer (Hoxzer!n=dsadsad@dsl-hkigw7-fe1df900-39.dhcp.inet.fi) has joined #mythtv-users
[00:11:47] Dagmar: Differently encoded media is going to play better or worse depending on all sorts of strange variables, but mainly how well the individual codec works
[00:11:59] SerajewelKS: Dagmar: would pastebinning my xorg.conf be helpful?
[00:12:02] Dagmar: MythTV actually has very little to do with that, aside from thsat
[00:12:07] Dagmar: SerajewelKS: Maybe but doubtful
[00:12:18] SerajewelKS: ok, then what would be the next thing to examine?
[00:12:21] Dagmar: Mostly Myth just resynchs to trunk ffmpeg every so ofte
[00:12:24] Dagmar: n
[00:12:36] Dagmar: SerajewelKS: What kind of media you're tyring to play
[00:12:49] SerajewelKS: Dagmar: live hdtv
[00:12:57] Blaksmith: ok, this is a new error ... libexpat is crashing when being called from svn ...
[00:12:58] Dagmar: Yeah that's going to be a bitch always
[00:13:07] SerajewelKS: totem can play full-screen and X uses 3%
[00:13:20] wireddd (wireddd!n=wired@unaffiliated/wireddd) has quit ("0011000101110111011112")
[00:13:20] Dagmar: What mechanism is totem using tho
[00:13:30] Blaksmith: even when trying to emerge the .20.2 ... same .. and the line above it is something about svn address changing or something
[00:13:37] Dagmar: It's beginning to sound to me like maybe you're NOT getting XvMC involved in playback or something
[00:13:37] SerajewelKS: presumably xv
[00:13:49] SerajewelKS: that's entirely possible
[00:13:54] Dagmar: blacksmith:...
[00:13:57] Dagmar: 1. There is no 0.20.2
[00:14:00] chrissss: hi, does anybody know why X CPU using goes up to 98% with dvb-s sometimes?
[00:14:05] Dagmar: 2. Problems emerging it should be taken to #Gentoo
[00:14:15] Dagmar: 3. MythTV doesn't write libexpat, either.
[00:14:23] SerajewelKS: Dagmar: would that be something i could check in the myth settings?
[00:14:54] Dagmar: SerajewelKS: Yep. UNder the playback settings you may have noticed a screen with rows of really arcane stuff about resolutions >= <= and codecs
[00:14:59] Dagmar: SerajewelKS: They're all insane.
[00:15:13] SerajewelKS: yes, i recall that
[00:15:24] Dagmar: SerajewelKS: Try a different one, OR just make a new one with one codec listed so you can be ccertain of what codec is being used
[00:15:34] Blaksmith: Latest version available: 0.20.2_p15634 .... looks like it is there ... I was going to do 0.21 (with the unmasking etc... ) .. did the unmask, and 0.21 gave the same error ...
[00:15:54] SerajewelKS: Dagmar: based on this it should be using XvMC
[00:16:05] Blaksmith: so I tried the one that it wanted to update to without the unmasking ... just to see
[00:16:56] Blaksmith: checking something to make sure my portage isn't broken ..
[00:17:06] Dagmar: SerajewelKS: See, that's why I say they're insane
[00:17:24] Reiver (Reiver!n=medontwa@c-67-171-47-33.hsd1.wa.comcast.net) has joined #mythtv-users
[00:17:25] Dagmar: They're _really_ complex to try and look at and be sure what's happening
[00:18:02] Dagmar: This would be a good time to mention that if you've been trying to use MPLayer instead of the Internal player, all bets are off
[00:18:46] Blaksmith: Dagmar, another package is installing fine... it is what I"m suspecting ... for some reason, the svn where the packages USED to be, are no longer there, that's why it complained ... so therefore it IS a "mythtv" issue ... not a gentoo issue
[00:19:26] SerajewelKS: Dagmar: i don't have mplayer installed
[00:21:17] Dagmar: Blaksmith: MythTV didn't make the gentoo ebuild
[00:21:30] Dagmar: So again, any problems you have with emerging it are between you and Gentoo
[00:22:03] SerajewelKS: Dagmar: i forced it to use XvMC and use opengl for all rendering, still stuck at 100%
[00:22:20] Dagmar: SerajewelKS: Hmm... I've got nothing that I can put a finger on right now.
[00:22:31] Dagmar: Cold medicine makes my brain too squishy
[00:22:43] SerajewelKS: well thanks for trying
[00:22:48] Dagmar: hopefully iamlindoro or wagnerrp will float through soon
[00:22:56] Dagmar: or kormoc
[00:23:01] Dagmar: They might be able to think of something specific to prof
[00:23:05] Dagmar: s/prof/prod/;
[00:23:13] abarber: dagmar: is libquicktime worth a damn?
[00:23:33] Dagmar: abarber: When your options are not watching the content at all?
[00:24:22] Dagmar: abarber: This is one of those cases where if you just HAVE to have certain types of content played back, you might want to try going with a maintstream distro that has people who can obsess over making codecs work well
[00:24:45] Dagmar: Ubuntu being a good place to start
[00:25:00] SerajewelKS: Dagmar: something seems really odd because i used to get really good performance... i dunno what it could be though, there are a lot of possibilities
[00:25:06] Dagmar: There is seldom ever a quick fix to a codec slowness issue
[00:25:30] Dagmar: SerajewelKS: I'm assuming you've got at least a 2Ghz cored CPU
[00:25:44] SerajewelKS: Dagmar: amd64 2.6ghz x2
[00:25:47] Dagmar: If this is MPEG video, XvMC should "just do it"
[00:26:00] Dagmar: If it's h.264 you're just kinda screwed for now tho
[00:26:05] SerajewelKS: X is using 100% no matter what codec i use
[00:26:16] Dagmar: For all videos played?
[00:26:19] SerajewelKS: i don't need to restart the frontend, do i?
[00:26:27] SerajewelKS: for live tv
[00:26:27] Dagmar: Hell, if it's acting that weird it can't hurt
[00:26:44] SerajewelKS: the video is not choppy at all though
[00:26:54] SerajewelKS: which makes me think something is just stuck in a loop or something
[00:27:06] Dagmar: Yeah, UseEvents should have fixed any kind of that
[00:27:47] weevilofdoom: fixed my color issue
[00:28:20] weevilofdoom: http://www.cyberpunkcafe.com/page.php?38
[00:28:23] weevilofdoom: doing that
[00:29:46] Dagmar: You didn't try forcing output to svideo in the xorg.conf?
[00:30:10] xris (xris!n=xris@sea02-v600-nat.marchex.com) has quit ("Leaving")
[00:30:31] weevilofdoom: i was doing that ...
[00:30:39] Dagmar: Wow bizarre
[00:30:42] weevilofdoom: indeed
[00:30:43] SerajewelKS: Dagmar: i wonder if this is the issue: http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/mythtv/users/242086
[00:31:18] SerajewelKS: Dagmar: hrm, nm that's UseEvents
[00:31:44] weevilofdoom: however, now that i've switched to using my tv, i get a mostly green screen with scrambles at the top.. so i got some digging to do on that
[00:32:13] Dagmar: Something is buggered wit that card
[00:32:25] Dagmar: I've used s-video out on _several_ different nVidia cards.
[00:32:50] weevilofdoom: well, videos and visualizations all work fine – just tv that doesn't show up correctly
[00:32:52] SerajewelKS: Dagmar: i take it back. turning off xvideo sync-to-vblank as that thread suggested fixed it perfectly.
[00:33:02] Dagmar: Pretty much the only thing I ever had to do was set the vertical refresh to 60Hz (because that's what TVs in the US require) and the resolution to 1024x768 or 800x600 (depending on my mood and how old the card was)
[00:33:07] SerajewelKS: myth consuming ~30% and X ~10%
[00:33:23] SerajewelKS: i get some nice tearing though
[00:33:23] Dagmar: Nice
[00:33:54] Dagmar: weevilofdoom: so if you're getting garbledy video playback but the other screens look okay, disable XvMC entirely for a bit
[00:34:12] weevilofdoom: that's just in the myth settings, ya?
[00:35:07] Dagmar: SerajewelKS: By the way, if you're dealing with something that's already going to be in sync with the refresh on your display, ,you don't have to even bother with vblank synching, particularly if you have an LCD display
[00:35:22] Dagmar: weevilofdoom: yeah, it's easy enough to disable it there
[00:35:36] SerajewelKS: Dagmar: well, i turned on myth's "use opengl vblank sync for timing" and i think the tearing is gone
[00:35:50] Dagmar: Gotta have a smoke
[00:37:14] SerajewelKS: of course, now everything else xv is tearing :/
[00:38:07] Blaksmith: well, either way, my MythTV is fubar .... looks like I will have to install via source, rather than emerge, if I want to get it to work again ...
[00:38:38] Blaksmith: because now the installed one says no recording devices ... /sigh/
[00:40:24] Blaksmith: at least I can watch what was recorded
[00:41:45] weevilofdoom: either that didn't help, or i did it wrong :P
[00:45:20] weevilofdoom: it may in fact be my cable/capture card ...

[01:39:28] Dagmar: It always says 401 on the first pass.
[01:39:31] Blaksmith: ok, build worked fine using src ... ran backend, backed up the db, and tried to upgrade .... and failed... .
[01:39:43] Dagmar: Immediately after it should have a non-401 response or you DID get the user/pass wrong.
[01:39:58] Blaksmith: Database error was:
[01:39:58] Blaksmith: Duplicate column name 'audioprop'
[01:40:06] Dagmar: Blaksmith: You made backups of the recordings you'd like to keep, right?
[01:40:30] Dagmar: ...or at least a backup of the whole database before you started the upgrade, right>

[01:40:51] Blaksmith: I can still run the older version and watch
[01:41:01] Dagmar: Not anymore.

[01:41:31] Dagmar: Your database will be in a screwy state now.
[01:42:10] Blaksmith: testing ...
[01:42:43] Dagmar: Oh don't take my word for it
[01:42:54] Blaksmith: yes, I can still watch with the old version
[01:43:13] Dagmar: By all means wait until it starts exhibiting really bisarre problems because the database is stuck in a format that is not what it's supposed to be because it failed in the middle of changing it for the new version
[01:43:21] GimpyT (GimpyT!n=trevor@cpe-70-113-68-192.austin.res.rr.com) has joined #mythtv-users
[01:43:52] Blaksmith: of course, I do want to get it to 0.21 ... don't get me wrong .. I'm just letting you know, that it did not make any actual changes to the db for who knows what reason
[01:44:05] Dagmar: Then you just got lucky
[01:44:09] Blaksmith: and starting the old backend did work
[01:44:33] GimpyT: ok i suposedly was able to get a lineup with serveal attempts( the line up name is displace when you go to input sources but when you look at channles there are none
[01:44:45] Dagmar: Usually any significant upgrade results in a series of changes being made to the database one at a time to upgrade what schema it's using
[01:44:55] Dagmar: Generally it'll fail somewhere in between just to maximize the chaos.
[01:44:58] Blaksmith: but, not much is valuable anyway, so I'm not worried if I lose the whole db if that's what it takes
[01:45:43] Dagmar: This is why we encourage people especially to make a backup of hte db before doing an upgrade, becuase they might wind up having to blow it away and do mysql_installdb and < mc.sql and mythtv-setup again
[01:45:51] Dagmar: ...which ain't fun.
[01:46:18] Blaksmith: yah, I remember doing that the first time I set up MythTV lol
[01:46:44] Dagmar: Trust me it gets easier after you've done it 20 or 30 times
[01:47:16] Blaksmith: I've installed 3 times I think lol.. one was due to a hardware upgrade (new computer) heheh
[01:48:33] Blaksmith: but.... it looks like I may have to dump the whole db ... :(
[01:48:57] Dagmar: Hey at least you don't have to pick through ti
[01:49:24] Blaksmith: yep heheh ... but I will have to set up my capture card, my lIRC etc...

[01:56:19] Decepticon: i cannot decide what tv tuner card to buy. all i want is out of the box functionality with a distro like mythbuntu, i want to not fiddle with drivers, not fiddle with making the remote control work. its too much to ask?
[01:56:33] Dagmar: Yes.
[01:56:53] Decepticon: what is the closest compromise
[01:57:10] Dagmar: Buying a TiVo
[01:57:40] Blaksmith: I have the hauppauge PVR-150
[01:57:47] Dagmar: Myth doesn't work without effort and research.
[01:57:49] Decepticon: Blaksmith i have been eyeing that
[01:57:53] Blaksmith: works great so far
[01:57:56] Decepticon: Blaksmith but i read the remote doesnt work
[01:58:00] Decepticon: what is the details on that?
[01:58:11] Decepticon: the MCE remote that comes with it
[01:58:19] iamlindoro: The remote only doesn't work if you're a brain dead moron
[01:58:19] Dagmar: Decepticon: That either you misread or you read something written by a nutjob
[01:58:45] iamlindoro: unfortunately braindead morons are often the ones with blogs
[01:58:57] Decepticon: dagmar he said http://www.amazon.com/review/RRJLUTO7N3AAH/re . . . es_rtr_alt_7
[01:58:59] Dagmar: Like twincities.indymedia.org
[01:59:13] Dagmar: Decepticon: I don't care who said what. it's wholly incorrect.
[01:59:18] squish102: but the pvr-150 is only SD ?
[01:59:32] iamlindoro: so it's that you can't read, then
[01:59:33] Dagmar: The PVR-150 is only NTSC or PAL.
[01:59:35] Decepticon: can you tell me what specific part of what hes saying is incorrect and what is correct and what functions/does not function
[01:59:47] iamlindoro: He's correct, you're illiterate
[01:59:51] Dagmar: Decepticon: no, because I am not your personal fact-checking service.
[02:00:15] iamlindoro: You *can't* program the remote. That doesn't mean it doesn't work. he was complaining because it can't be reprogrammed to run other equipment.
[02:00:27] iamlindoro: Which is a far sight from "the remote doesnt work"
[02:00:29] Decepticon: well ive been doing my research for about a couple of months, and its questions like these that have me not making my final decision and buying
[02:00:40] iamlindoro: you should try sounding out or looking up the big words
[02:01:05] Blaksmith: me, I made my own IR Blaster to work with my pansat 3500 :P
[02:01:07] Decepticon: what does it mean to "program the remote"
[02:01:12] squish102: Decepticon everything he says is probably true
[02:01:28] Dagmar: iamlindoro: He's French. Some slack can be cut
[02:01:39] squish102: but he wanted a universal remote, which doesnt come with a pvr150
[02:01:43] iamlindoro: Decepticon, "can't be reprogrammed to run other equipment"
[02:02:22] Decepticon: he wants to use his mce remote with something else?
[02:02:29] Decepticon: like his tv?
[02:02:31] Dagmar: The remote that comes with the PVR-150 only speaks "PVR-150", not "Sony TV" or "DishNetwork STB" or "Some VCR or other" and can't be reprogrammed to speak those either
[02:02:35] iamlindoro: yes, he wants to use it to control all his equipment
[02:02:44] iamlindoro: which is silly to expect
[02:02:50] Decepticon: oh
[02:02:54] squish102: so he is an idiot
[02:03:00] Dagmar: The only way that sort of thing could be done would be with an additional IR transmitter that doesn't come with the PVR-150, but isn't exactly expensive either
[02:03:16] squish102: get a logitech remote if that is what u want to do
[02:05:40] squish102: these pvr150's should start becomming dirt cheap with the transition to digital broadcasting
[02:06:03] iamlindoro: s/cheap/nonexistent/
[02:06:08] iamlindoro: as hauppauge is no longer making them

[02:09:27] Decepticon: what does it mean?
[02:09:58] iamlindoro: Decepticon, The switch affects the USA only
[02:09:59] Dagmar: It means if you're in the US, which you appear to not be, after February the card will be much less useful
[02:10:10] Decepticon: how will it become less useful?
[02:10:16] Decepticon: what is the USA doing
[02:10:28] Dagmar: No longer broadcasting NTSC over the air
[02:10:37] Decepticon: they will use PAL ?
[02:10:42] Blaksmith: wheee, running mythfilldatabase ..
[02:10:44] iamlindoro: NEVER!
[02:10:56] Blaksmith: still have to tell it to use the LIRC now...
[02:10:58] iamlindoro: no, we will go from analog OTA to digital OTA
[02:11:59] Blaksmith: DataDirect FTW :D
[02:12:13] Decepticon: hm well if i move to usa after they do this, my pvr150 wont work? it will not capture anything from the wall socks?
[02:12:21] Decepticon: socket
[02:12:57] iamlindoro: It will not be able to capture antenna signals. Anyway, a card that you buy in Europe will be PAL, and useless no matter what in the USA
[02:13:06] Dagmar: You don't get anything from the wall socket here.
[02:13:11] Dagmar: ...other than electricyt.
[02:13:21] Dagmar: ...and sometimes electricity as well.
[02:13:27] Blaksmith: lol
[02:14:29] Decepticon: well let me tell you, i am moving to the usa
[02:14:36] Blaksmith: ok, I'm starting with a clean slate.... wiping all the recordings as well... just waiting for the databse to fill... lots to do
[02:14:48] Decepticon: so i should wait to buy it from there?
[02:14:52] iamlindoro: You will have to buy new tuner cards no matter what happens if you go from most places to the USA
[02:14:55] Dagmar: Decepticon: Probably so actually
[02:15:19] Dagmar: Decepticon: By the time you get here, it's likely the available options will have changed and something better might be ready to use
[02:15:22] Dagmar: ...like the HD-PVR.
[02:15:32] iamlindoro: and then your US tuner cards will be useless in Europe, yayyyyyy!
[02:15:44] Decepticon: this is a mess!

[04:17:52] Dagmar: Alsa is generally a good thing, or at least a better thing than trying to get OSS doing more than two channels, but...
[04:18:24] Dagmar: You probably want to check the wiki about specifically what needs to go into those boxes in that particular setup menu for the frontend because I can assure you that "/dev/dsp" is definitely the wrong answer.
[04:18:47] Blaksmith: heheh yah lol..
[04:19:04] Gimpy: blacksmith , I get connectian timedout when trying mythtv -start (its timeing out trying to conect to backend and i also get faild to get recording show list
[04:19:10] Blaksmith: I checked on my win box (MythTVPlayer) .. there is audio on the same recording, so I know that part is ok
[04:19:26] Blaksmith: Gimpy, try: mythfrontend
[04:20:00] Blaksmith: and, did you do mythtv-setup ?
[04:20:13] Gimpy: backsmith, i beleave that wili give me the same resules, thats why i tried -startup
[04:20:58] Blaksmith: if you have NOT done mythtv-setup then you will have major problems
[04:21:05] Gimpy: yes i did run mythtv-stup that had problems gettipg ehe line up from scheduls direct
[04:21:14] Dagmar: Get the username and password right.
[04:21:50] Blaksmith: Gimpy, you didn't answer though ... same box or remote box
[04:22:23] Gimpy: when the front end try to connect to back end i get connection timed out
[04:22:42] Gimpy: oh i didn't see that, its same box
[04:23:07] Dagmar: It's important to use the correct IP address and to NOT have some crazy "drop everything" firewall rule in palce
[04:23:16] Blaksmith: go through the setup, and verify that the IP addresses are CORRECT
[04:23:32] Gimpy: so mythtv -setup gives me an error about can't connect to backend and exits
[04:23:47] Blaksmith: remove the space
[04:23:54] Blaksmith: mythtv-setup all one word
[04:23:55] Gimpy: the ips are loopbacks with port
[04:25:36] Blaksmith: I personally set mine to the ip of the machine .. 192.168.2.2 in this case
[04:25:50] Gimpy: blacksmieh should cable freq. be set to us-cable-hrc for norh america or us cable
[04:25:52] Blaksmith: but you can use localhost
[04:26:08] Blaksmith: that's your choice .. I use us-cable for mine
[04:26:35] Gimpy: ok, i'll change that and try again
[04:26:46] kormoc: Gimpy, depends on the cable in your area, set it wrong and you won't get all your channels
[04:26:48] Blaksmith: the cable freq has nothing to do with the ip
[04:27:27] Gimpy: it has to do with myth complaining of not beable to get list when I tried to watch EV
[04:28:46] kormoc: Gimpy, no it doesn't. cable freq is purely for tuning, nothing else
[04:28:51] Blaksmith: the error you got, is that it isn't able to connect to the back end
[04:29:08] Blaksmith: which has zero to do with cable freq

[04:39:42] Gimpy: thanks for that tip
[04:39:50] kormoc: Gimpy, it's instructing you to run mythtv-setup and configure the server
[04:41:04] Gimpy: but i thaught i already did that
[04:41:25] Blaksmith: the way you said it, you did it with a space in there
[04:41:32] Blaksmith: it is: mythtv-setup .... NO space
[04:45:17] Gimpy: ok, you want to step though this together, so there isn't a misunderstanding?
[04:45:37] kormoc: Gimpy, reading the docs is highly recommended
[04:45:42] Gimpy: i was just told to run mythfilldatabase
[04:45:56] ** kormoc blinks **

[06:12:59] RyeBrye: I changed the IP on my backend / frontend – now when I run the frontend it gets a bunch of errors trying to connect to itself at the old IP – and then finally it will load... Where is that old IP stored?
[06:14:41] wagnerrp_: its stored in the database
[06:14:50] wagnerrp_: but the normal way to access it is in mythtv-setup
[06:14:53] wagnerrp_: first section, first page
[06:15:07] RyeBrye: mythtv-setup has the same long timeout thing going on with it
[06:15:15] RyeBrye: I guess I can let it timeout and then edit it when it loads
[06:15:58] wagnerrp_: mythtv-setup should have no timeout, because it does not need access to the backend
[06:16:16] wagnerrp_: actually, youre not supposed to be running the backend when you run mythtv-setup
[06:17:02] RyeBrye: it may have been because I didn't restart my backend after I changed the IP settings, I'm not sure. I'm opening the mythtv-setup now
[06:17:39] wagnerrp_: well if you change an IP without restarting network daemons, you tend to break things

[10:24:27] mzb_d800: I'm guessing that's a symptom, not the cause

[10:24:45] ivor: even if you come up with the definitive guide/working exaple/pre-built distro... people will always come back and say, well I started with your distro then I replaced x,y and z for some random reason and now its borked

[10:27:56] justinh: ebay have broken the camel's back with their fee changes.
[10:28:02] fryfrog: when the original "$200" AUD is still in my paypal account
[10:28:13] ivor: justinh: indeed, the in built myth xvmc decoder has a tendency to trip over its toes.
[10:28:32] mzb_d800: crap ... 3mins to get out the door ... thanks fryfrog ... talk to you all later

[10:30:24] levander`: Any idea why my program guide doesn't auto-update? Why do I have to run mythfilldatabase manually every time I want it updated? Is what people do is just to add a cron job to run that every day?

[10:33:55] justinh: never seemed to happen on 1.1x playback either
[10:34:04] justinh: or 0.9.. only 1x
[10:34:27] justinh: nor on anything but BBC channels. fine for my wife (other than Eastenders) but not for me :(
[10:35:49] justinh: I was going to try hacking the player code to buffer a constant amount, but compiling on the epia wasn't a realistic option – plus by the time I'd customised minimyth to the extent where I was able to build myth on it – it wouldn't be a valid experiment anyway
[10:36:17] justinh: as for why other distros were fine... that led me to suspect driver versions
[10:36:25] justinh: or a combination of everything
[10:37:24] justinh: ubuntu was a massive fail because its digital audio output was temperamental – I had it configured to output analogue & digital but it was 30/70 working/notworking on bootup
[10:38:12] justinh: much, MUCH happier with my C2D frontend. Immeasurably so infact :)

[12:39:28] klos: what network bandwidth do i need per client for a hd stream ?
[12:40:45] GreyFoxx: up to 20–24 mbit, but most are not that high
[12:40:55] jblack: From my experience, about 2 megabytes/sec per client.
[12:40:55] GreyFoxx: most are in the 8–13 mbit range
[12:41:24] jblack: So, I saw Diary of the dead, and that was pretty good. That lead to Flight of the living dead, which is great.
[12:41:38] jblack: Convinced me me try Zombie Strippers, which rocked!
[12:41:55] jblack: Now, I'm trying to decide whether or not to get my hands on "Porn of the dead"
[12:44:49] klos: im thinking about building a backend connected to a 802.11n router, the average throughput of these is 74 mbit
[12:45:02] klos: i'll have 2 client forntends runnign the appletv box
[12:45:10] justinh: the average throughput of these is 74 mbit in theory :)
[12:45:12] klos: it also uses 802.11n
[12:45:27] jblack: Ok. On 802.11g, which is not n, I can handle 1 hd stream client, or 2 transcoded clients.
[12:45:33] justinh: I wouldn't bank on any kind of wireless working to those expectations
[12:45:34] klos: nah the maximum throughput is 300mbit the avergae practical thropughput is 74
[12:45:43] jblack: 1 hd stream client is right on the edge, though.
[12:45:46] justinh: depends on conditions, chipsets... all sorts
[12:45:56] klos: yea for sure
[12:46:30] klos: but it could handle at least one hd stream
[12:46:43] klos: thats all good then :)
[12:48:12] justinh: urgh. ICE default IO error handler doing an exit(), pid = 8513, errno = 0
[12:48:51] justinh: anyway, I was gonna mention that my laptop has trouble playing video – even SD – when I'm in the same room as the wireless AP
[12:49:03] justinh: so much for theory :)
[12:49:07] klos: :)
[12:49:10] justinh: not that I expected anything else
[12:49:39] klos: i think i gonna use the apple router along with the appletv boxes, i think they should work pretty well.
[12:50:10] justinh: wherever possible I'd still be inclined to use a wired connection regardless
[12:50:19] directhex: wireless does not guarantee throughput
[12:50:38] directhex: got a microwave in your house, or houses near you? your tv will skip whilst someone warms a burrito
[12:50:55] justinh: and even if you get good results today, there's no guarantee you'll get the same results tomorrow
[12:51:06] directhex: or on thursday
[12:51:31] klos: yes thats true, i dont know about the coinditions yet, im planning for my future apartment
[12:51:45] klos: so its just thoughts for now
[12:51:46] justinh: pulling network cables is far from fun sometimes, but solid playback isn't frustrating like bitty playback is :)
[12:52:07] klos: yea if i could i would put gbit ethernet throught the whole unit
[12:52:49] klos: but its difficult if you dont own the apartment
[12:53:13] klos: and i dont want the cabeles to be visible :-/
[12:53:27] directhex: so don't. hire a professional
[12:53:53] directhex: you'll pay about £50 per end-user port
[12:54:20] klos: can you do this in a rented apartment

[12:54:44] directhex: ask your landlord
[12:54:49] klos: yea
[12:54:51] directhex: it might increase the value of the property

[12:57:24] GreyFoxx: yup
[12:57:45] justinh: faster than wireless, and you can virtually count on its reliability – well at least you can count on it more than wireless ;)
[12:57:50] klos: uh yea thats a good idea
[12:58:04] klos: i will consider this
[12:58:46] klos: does the backend of myth tv has a graphical frontend ??? :)

[12:59:26] directhex: klos, i don't understand the question
[12:59:27] justinh: mythtv-setup is a GUI tool, so needs a display
[12:59:46] justinh: and mythtv-setup must be run on the backend machine
[12:59:54] klos: ok thats what i wanted to know, im planning on integrating an ltsp server into the box
[13:00:06] klos: can i configure the backend via ltsp ?
[13:00:06] justinh: whatever that is
[13:00:17] klos: ltsp is a remote server connection
[13:00:19] directhex: linux terminal server pieshop
[13:00:22] klos: hmm well i can still use vnc
[13:00:35] klos: yea doenst matter then :)
[13:00:55] justinh: we see too many people whining that they need X installed on a backend machine
[13:01:19] justinh: when really, X is small beans compared to how much space recordings take up
[13:01:50] justinh: as for resources it 'hogs'.. heh. it needn't be running all the time (the X server)
[13:02:21] klos: but it has been developed a lot in terms of memory waste recently'
[13:02:40] justinh: only desktop environments tend to waste memory
[13:02:51] klos: i can run my desktop pc here for 3–4 weeks without restarting and using it every day
[13:03:14] klos: 1 year ago i still had to restart about every 1 or 2 weeks
[13:03:39] klos: and im running stuff like compiz now etc
[13:03:50] klos: :)
[13:04:52] justinh: mythtv + compiz == :(
[13:06:05] klos: :)
[13:06:23] klos: nur am frontend nehm ich an oder ?
[13:06:30] klos: hehe
[13:06:58] klos: sorry :) compiy only affects the mythtv frontend i reckon
[13:07:16] klos: or does it cause problem running compiz on the mythtv backend
[13:07:50] justinh: since the main ui is only about the frontend...
[13:07:58] justinh: the backend doesn't _have_ a GUI as such

[13:40:38] onexused: What's a good tv tuner card to get? I want one that works with MythTV and Linux (obviously), has hardware encoding of MPEG2 or 4, that I can connect both A/V component and coax to, and can handle both NTSC (analog) and ATSC (digital) signals.
[13:40:41] onexused: Or, where could I find a good list of options?
[13:45:16] justinh: you're asking for a lot – too much infact
[13:45:34] onexused: Oh?
[13:45:45] onexused: What can I expect, then?
[13:46:00] directhex: good analog, OR digital
[13:46:07] cesman: you can always ask for a lot, the question however is will you get what you ask for? ;)
[13:46:16] justinh: NTSC (analogue) & ATSC (digital) on one card is easy. Hardware encoding of analogue on the same card – way less common. Component inputs.. forget about it
[13:46:24] justinh: mpeg4.. forget about it
[13:46:46] DHvE (DHvE!n=mythtv@78.42.61.191) has joined #mythtv-users

[13:47:09] DHvE: Anyone out there who could answer me some Questions about DVB-S2 on MythDora 5.0`
[13:47:14] DHvE: hi
[13:47:35] justinh: and some Hauppauge HVR cards with onboard mpeg2 encoding for analogue & ATSC reception capabilities
[13:47:53] justinh: just ask the questions & see if anybody answers
[13:48:16] onexused: "Component inputs.. forget about it" so there's no way I could get a tv tuner card that I could also hook a game console to, you're saying?
[13:48:22] justinh: though with dvb-s2, don't expect much response beyond "the API isn't finished yet.. good luck"
[13:48:51] DHvE: just wanted to know if i should use the multiproto or the S2API and what kind of changes on the Mythtv Software if got to make ...
[13:48:52] onexused: mpeg4 isn't a requirement, but it'd be nice.
[13:48:52] justinh: onexused: one big snag with connecting a console or anything else to mythtv which requires real time viewing.. uhh.. no dice
[13:49:37] justinh: mythtv doesn't have any realtime viewing. certainly not near enough to realtime to make game playing possible
[13:49:46] onexused: Oh, right, I forgot about that. The recording and such. What program could I use for that? That's the -main- reason I want to do this.
[13:49:58] justinh: and besides, just use another input on your TV damnit
[13:50:20] justinh: there is no program you can use to watch analogue component signals on a TV AFAIK

[13:52:10] DHvE: noone here using DVB-S2?

[13:54:49] justinh: the curse of the early adopter, eh ;)

[13:58:30] justinh: search the mailinglists – people have posted patches for use with multiproto IIRC

[14:45:09] justinh: nor in glass-wide
[14:45:25] directhex: justinh supports users of leafers-wide only
[14:45:28] justinh: so that obviously isn't a problem with the theme
[14:46:01] gregL: Ok thanks i will have to search for a supported theme ..
[14:46:28] justinh: those themes are unsupported, but only by way of not being supported by me – on account of me not caring

[14:53:47] gregL: justin: maybe i will reinstall the themes and see if that clears it up.. Thanks for your time..
[14:53:52] justinh: and it's missing from ProjectGrayhem but is present in the -wide version.
[14:54:29] justinh: but, there should be a default wide.png file in themes/default/wide.png
[14:54:57] justinh: so either the version of myth you're running is too old or the version of the theme is too new
[14:55:07] justinh: 4:3 themes. PFFT
[14:55:54] justinh: seriously though – seems that if I don't keep em up (and I have no plans to once mythui starts breaking em) – if nobody else does – that's it
[14:56:22] justinh: same goes for some of the core themes.. people are hoping they're just gonna die off :)

[16:59:26] GlemSom: I've been google'ing for some info about Linux+HDMI+audio – but there seems to be very mixed opinions about that... I've read some graphics cards uses a spid cable – and then route the audio to the hdmi port... But I don't quite understand what kind of cable that is... Is that some cable that attaches to the motherboard – or do one have to use the actual spdif port on the mainboard – and route that to the graphicscard? (Currently I only have
[16:59:26] GlemSom: toslink – guess that will not do)
[17:01:28] sphery: Generally most sound cards (including those integrated on motherboards) have a digital audio connector on them--what people used to connect between the CD-ROM drives and the sound card. Just a little 4-wire connector. I'm guessing that's what it would use.
[17:02:02] wagnerrp_: i thought the 4-wire was an analog connector
[17:02:11] wagnerrp_: the 2-wire was digital

[17:02:52] sphery: Though, TTBOMK, if you're using any non-native HDMI audio solution (and I haven't found a native one, yet), you won't be able to get more than 2-channels of digital audio unless you encode to AC-3 or DTS (i.e. you're limited by S/PDIF, so you lose the benefits of HDMI)
[17:03:02] sphery: wagnerrp_: You're right. It's the 2-wire one... Been so long.
[17:03:43] ** sphery is waiting to find an HDMI (actually, I'd prefer DisplayPort) card that supports 8-channel PCM output. **
[17:03:44] wagnerrp_: ALSA has facilities to transcode to AC3
[17:04:00] wagnerrp_: they make TVs that support displayport?
[17:04:04] GlemSom: sphery, Ok – so basecly everything has to be re-encoded to AC3 to be in surroundsound ?
[17:04:25] wagnerrp_: glemsom: if you want to output over digital audio, yes
[17:04:33] sphery: unfortunately, most TV's will probably stick with HDMI (so I'll get to pay the HDMI license tax)

[17:05:37] GlemSom: sphery, I agree – but my receiver has a HDMI port aswell – so i was thinking about using that? (Thinks it kinda pass-through... it just uses the audio)
[17:06:05] GlemSom: sphery, Well, not ALL my sources has AC-3...

[17:06:37] PatrickDK: heh, I transcode everything into ac3
[17:06:47] sphery: Yeah, nothing wrong with using HDMI (other the the DRM-infestation in HDMI, but that will be everywhere). Just mentioning that I don't need HDMI if I don't connect it to the TV.
[17:07:00] GlemSom: But, using a regular spdif connection (a toslink for example) – or using spdif over HDMI will in the end provide me with the same result... they both need to be re-encoded to ac-3 to take advantage of surroundsound... ?
[17:07:16] wagnerrp_: correct
[17:07:24] GlemSom: Ok, thanks! :)
[17:07:40] wagnerrp_: the only way you would use surround PCM would be if your video card had an integrated sound card
[17:07:45] sphery: GlemSom: well, if the source isn't AC-3, chances are it's stereo, which should be enough for a TV. Also, many receivers will replicate the stereo channels to surround speakers.
[17:07:56] sphery: (may include "receivers" in TV's)
[17:08:10] GlemSom: hmm... yeah...
[17:09:10] GlemSom: Basecly it's because I would like the PC to be in the room behind the TV... So the fewer cables I need to put through the wall – the better! :)
[17:09:20] sphery: Basically, though, if you have an AC-3- or DTS-encoded audio source, and you want the surround, you can't let your Myth box decode it (which means that things like timestretch require decoding a lossy format, then re-encoding to a lossy format).
[17:09:38] wagnerrp_: GlemSom: youre not just going to install a modular panel anyway?
[17:10:01] sphery: GlemSom: I'm a big fan of Myth frontend in another room.
[17:10:06] GlemSom: wagnerrp_, I think I am... Just need to find one I like... (Maybe make one myself tough...)
[17:10:29] sphery: that gets to be much more expensive than just passing a cable through the wall (for the cheapskates among us)
[17:10:56] GlemSom: I really like the concept of a thin clients and a backend... But I think it's a bit too expesive if one need a client that can play HD... ?
[17:11:05] wagnerrp_: well yeah, if you consider $10-$15 to be considerably more expensive than free

[17:12:17] GlemSom: wagnerrp_, I've actually seen a company making custom wall mount panels – with HDMI, usb ect... :)
[17:12:45] GlemSom: wagnerrp_, for example: http://www.datapro.net/products/hdmi-wall-plate.html
[17:13:20] wagnerrp_: i just went with the modular ones at Lowes
[17:15:05] sphery: I guess if you're not doing separate analog speaker wires for each channel, it's a lot cheaper (at $4–6/banana plug, a 6- or 8-channel setup, requiring 2-connectors/channel on each side of the wall, gets expensive fast)
[17:15:33] sphery: My receiver is also in the other room (I only have a screen and speakers in my viewing room.)

[17:47:24] directhex: you're misinformed. multiproto doesn't allow you to decode anything. if you mean RECEIVE, then it allows you to receive broadcasts from DVB-S2 satellites, if you have legit access to HD S2 broadcasts
[17:47:27] directhex: which most people don't
[17:47:50] directhex: HD in britain for example is S, not S2, and works with the existing driver structure
[17:48:19] directhex: and multiproto replaces the current drivers AFAIK, which is why such an intrusive change has been a long time coming

[17:50:03] mirak: you fuck flys a bit
[17:50:08] mirak: but thanks for the info
[17:50:18] bronson: Is there a way to automatically transcode myth's 4MB/sec recordings down to 1MB/sec or less?
[17:50:35] bronson: Found a bunch of things for transcoding DVDs but not plain old recordings.
[17:50:49] mirak: it seems debian sid have 2.26 kernel with multiproto, I will try that
[17:52:34] GreyFoxx: bron: Myth has internal transcoding. You can have it done automatically or manually start it per recording, or make it per recording rule
[17:52:35] Anduin: bronson: Look at the transcoder settings under recording profiles, that plus the docs should get you started. There are also user jobs if you don't like that, and exporter script, etc
[17:53:30] bronson: Glad it exists, will do.

[18:01:47] Anduin: Gimpy: you need to paste your frontend log somewhere
[18:03:00] Gimpy: Anduin, will do but heads up it says i don't have any settip but i have gone though and configured it and could provide screenshot to prove it so pasting backend log
[18:03:34] Anduin: Gimpy: the frontend log too, basically just need to check that it is connecting where you think
[18:04:14] Gimpy: http://rafb.net/p/fL2aK180.html
[18:05:17] Gimpy: anduin, i ran my backend and it says that live tv wasts to use a directory but backend clames its not writable but im lookin at my permissions and they look fine to me, will past
[18:05:54] Gimpy: permissions for directory http://rafb.net/p/kG8iYr54.html
[18:07:25] Anduin: Gimpy: How many backends are you running (I only ask because the first error you pasted is a fatal one)?
[18:08:15] Gimpy: Anduin should onlbe 1 backend
[18:10:37] Gimpy: Anduin should only be 1 backend
[18:10:41] Anduin: Gimpy: I don't see how you would get to a second error after the first, your first error really should be correctable with a mythtv-setup run, you can also check the DB
[18:11:47] Anduin: Gimpy: You are running mythtv-setup and mythbackend/frontend as the same user?
[18:11:47] Gimpy: ok so what do you want me to do here? run setup again?
[18:12:00] Gimpy: yes

[18:17:07] Gimpy: Anduin, now it thinks the backend is runnipg
[18:20:21] Anduin: Gimpy: probably some bad run/lock file cleanup, I'd check your system mysql.txt, if it is setting LocalHostName it could be messing things up (most people should have a single mysql.txt until they learn to enjoy wasting their time)

[22:00:16] unsympath: hm, assuming the GMA X3100 isn't capable of accelerating MPEG2 decoding?
[22:00:50] XLV: unsympath it does, but there are other codecs besides mpeg2 used in 720p and 1080p, h264, avc
[22:01:03] XLV: so in those, you'd rely only on cpu to decode them
