[00:00:09] mchou: shit, I just remembered why my myth setup is having the hiccups
[00:00:13] dustybin: GreyFoxx: its running not to bad actually, its on 17%...
[00:00:25] dustybin: maybe need to check i have ticked that indepth setting again after
[00:00:37] GreyFoxx: indepth is a LOT more work
[00:00:40] mchou: cable signal quality degradation
[00:00:56] dustybin: GreyFoxx: ok the tick wasnt checked then!
[00:01:26] dustybin: GreyFoxx: how does it find the information about year made / publisher etc? regex and the rom ?
[00:01:27] justinh: wow. when I say grey I mean GREY! Everybody knows it's illegal to produce derivative works without permission (whatever the context, so that's me put right) but here's the bad part – media companies don't often pursue it. Granted, if they did, they'd not have time/money/resources for much else
[00:01:42] hadees: i'm trying to upgrade my database to the new scheme and i got this error "Duplicate entry 'Cl' for key 1"
[00:01:58] GreyFoxx: dusty: crc32 value
[00:02:08] dustybin: jeeze never heard of them
[00:02:20] GreyFoxx: and romname and such as well
[00:02:38] GreyFoxx: filenames are too unpredictable
[00:02:43] dustybin: yep
[00:03:02] squish102: out of interest, anyone tried the new xbmc beta?
[00:03:09] squish102: http://xbmc.org
[00:03:22] dustybin: before i setup all these modelines, mame word only work on a very few games, now just about every single one fires up
[00:03:28] dustybin: would
[00:03:42] justinh: GreyFoxx: say for the sake of argument, myth was made capable of displaying a background graphic and a banner graphic associated with a recording, video or music track... and if said stuff was got from a mystery script which provided them, based on certain criteria... would that still be bad?
[00:04:49] GreyFoxx: just: not in my eyes. If the user must supply the raphic and such (even if it's scripted)
[00:05:29] justinh: I mean if I've got a whole bunch of images lying around I want to use.. just gimme a container ;)
[00:05:48] ** dustybin checks memory **
[00:05:49] dustybin: 38911 BASIC BYTES FREE
[00:06:16] justinh: hell for all anybody here knows I might have a Betty Boo theme on my frontend already :P
[00:06:26] justinh: *Boop
[00:06:35] GreyFoxx: you don't ?
[00:06:37] GreyFoxx: hehe
[00:06:39] justinh: bad example, maybe out of copytight
[00:06:44] ** GreyFoxx takes his kid up for a bath **
[00:07:02] justinh: squish102: take that as a no, but there was jibber-jabber about it on the mailinglist
[00:07:28] directhex: copyright is however long it needs to be to protect mickey mouse, applied retroactively
[00:07:56] justinh: (still not supporting nuvs properly, and no commskipping, no timestretching, no EPG, no live TV, do not pass go, do not collect £200)
[00:08:42] justinh: new skin screenshots look spiffy though
[00:09:02] justinh: makes my etching look completely shit

[00:09:47] wagnerrp: also, you hacked your xbox, so you go directly to jail as well
[00:11:06] justinh: no I don't. uncle Bill never found out
[00:11:30] wagnerrp: isnt that protected under some DMCA clause, at least in the US
[00:12:07] justinh: might be nice if this new xbmc doesn't actually require you to have the illegally compiled (as in stolen XDK compiled) XBMC for xbox binaries like the initial linux port effort idd
[00:12:11] justinh: *did
[00:13:18] justinh: wagnerrp: right, so if MS come to my house & find the xbox which I officially own, legally, dismantle it (against my permission) – yea they could find out. but that ain't gonna happen
[00:13:57] justinh: if we're going to head down the road of 'oh you bought the hardware, but it's really not yours to do with as you like'... then God help us all
[00:13:58] wagnerrp: i didnt say it was going to be enforced
[00:14:27] EvilGuru (EvilGuru!n=freddie@witherden.org) has quit ()
[00:14:34] kormoc: justinh, it's when they trigger the 'You have to return the hardware to us at any time' clause and then sue you for breach
[00:14:38] justinh: bit frickin pointless to extend a law like that then, wouldn't you say ?
[00:15:07] justinh: or were they just sowing the seed for further impingments? ;)
[00:15:38] justinh: kormoc: does the licence say that? holy holes in doughnuts!
[00:16:04] dustybin: its time to setup this MCE remote :-)
[00:16:50] dustybin: it even comes with a IR blaster, maybe i could use that to switch off the TV
[00:16:59] justinh: ahh brad templeton is another regular on the ML IIRC.. he has a nice page about copyright myths

[00:18:56] whodat: sometimes when i change channels, the audio comes in scratchy. if I change again, it fixes the audio. any ideas on where to start looking?
[00:18:59] justinh: oh well, one less distraction
[00:19:38] whodat: this is from stv through svideo/component audio into the sound card
[00:20:22] wagnerrp: component audio?
[00:20:44] whodat: yeah

[00:25:34] justinh: if *art.png exists, use it as the background, if not, don't

[00:40:57] justinh: I don't do grafix as anything but a hobby, an my etchins are – ok not the worst myth themes on the block but as UI artwork goes.. er.. ;)
[00:41:10] justinh: still, in terms of experience I'm still a young un
[00:41:52] justinh: complete bitch that xbmc attracts so much talent, when all it is, is a bleddy file browser with knobs on
[00:42:19] ** iamlindoro throws some serif fonts and heavy feathering in a bag, shakes, and pours out an xbmc theme **
[00:42:25] justinh: maybe the whole 'we listen to requests' bit has made all the difference
[00:42:27] iamlindoro: er sans serif, that is
[00:43:36] iamlindoro: hmm... wonder if the variable resolution theme thing is still on the table for MythUI
[00:44:05] jduggan_: hrm
[00:44:07] justinh: I don't want myth to be more popular or whatever, I'd just like to help make it nicer to look at & use
[00:44:08] jduggan_: up late huh justinh
[00:44:11] jduggan_: no work tomorrow?
[00:44:11] wagnerrp: as in... a resizable window?
[00:44:22] justinh: resizable window is being worked on
[00:44:28] iamlindoro: wagnerrp, no, as in, "Wide themes don't have to be 1280x720 and only 1280x720"
[00:44:38] justinh: iamlindoro: yeah it's still on the table
[00:44:55] justinh: it's already there for the OSD themes, hence my reworking of glass-wide's OSD the other week
[00:45:07] justinh: made the world of difference too
[00:45:12] iamlindoro: oh yeah?
[00:45:17] iamlindoro: nice
[00:46:10] justinh: I dunno if the OSD is meant to be drawn at the whole screen res & aspect yet but it isn't (at least in terms of aspect) on my frontend

[01:10:29] iamlindoro: justdave, Give up on .21, by the way

[01:12:00] justdave: that's fine with me as long as .22 isn't still 2 years away :)
[01:13:05] iamlindoro: Probably not :)
[01:13:37] justdave: Honestly I'm probably not really near needing to have HD support yet anyway
[01:14:13] iamlindoro: For 99% of people, they lack the hardware to play HD-PVR recordings anyway
[01:14:39] wagnerrp: my desktop is about the only machine i have that could

[02:32:37] dustybin: its not very well coded
[02:32:48] dustybin: the layout isnt very nice either
[02:33:16] justdave: was really confusing to navigate last time I tried to use it
[02:33:36] dustybin: indeed, you need to spend some time on it cleaning it up
[02:33:52] styelz: yea, half my files dont have info. so i just go directory tree listing
[02:33:53] dustybin: remove all the crap you dont need
[02:34:31] justdave: a given channel can have multiple sources, and you have to go into category, then the channel, then pick which source to watch...
[02:35:02] styelz: i have around 13000 mp3s
[02:35:07] justdave: what would work for me is to be able to put my channels right on the main menu when you go in, and when I pick one it just randomly picks which source to use, or falls back on another if the first fails, etc.

[02:40:40] justdave: all it does is save the URL for the feed. When you decide you want to watch, it goes and downloads the feed right then, and gives you the list of episodes. Then you pick the one you want to watch, and wait for it to download enough to start viewing it. then it buffers because it's not downloading fast enough, etc.
[02:41:18] ** justdave would love to have a good podcast client integrated with Myth that would snag the videos as they became available, and had them ready to watch just like Recordings **

[02:44:00] justdave: but I'd have to find some way to hook it to update video titles in the database, since on most podcasts, the filenames don't actually match the episode titles

[08:47:12] justinh: anyway, yeah it'll be done properly. I considered just dragging speaker wires around & using a central amp but that's too limiting
[08:47:47] justinh: same source all over, same volume all over, no local switching.. ugh
[08:49:16] justinh: 2 DAB radio sources, one source coming from whatever's in the livingroom & maybe a 24/7 playlist coming off the backend machine

[08:54:10] Dibblah: Cat5 isn't cheap any more :(
[08:54:17] Dibblah: Chinese are eating it all.
[08:54:34] justinh: course I'll have to build a little receiver box with source switching & balanced inputs & amp – but that's part of the fun of the project too
[08:54:36] Dibblah: The price of base materials these days is insane.
[08:54:58] justinh: yeah but in the grand scheme of things, cat5 is still cheaper than 'real' audio cable :D
[08:55:18] justinh: and besides, I still have well in excess of 200 metres of a reel left over
[08:55:30] Dibblah: :)
[08:56:14] justinh: and the beauty about doing it this way is that 2 cables can just run around the house, terminated at each end :)
[08:56:58] justinh: oh if I had a blog I could write bollocks all day about it
[08:57:57] justinh: I expect the bathroom amp/source selection will be more interesting. that might need another touch panel like I did for the light dimming
[08:58:32] justinh: <3 QProx sensor chips
[08:59:37] wagnerrp: 1000' of cat6 goes for less than it did when i bought my spool 4 years ago
[08:59:45] ** Dibblah is planning touch panels. Total cost looks to be ~£40. **
[09:00:03] Dibblah: 2" display area, with active buttons at the sides.
[09:00:59] justinh: my bathroom light switch is a piece of work. Illuminated by blue leds (ok ugh I know), it's plain translucent faceplate on a standard back box. inside is a small PCB with the 12v powered touch sensor. wave your hand over it for switching, hold it there for dimming. logic signal is output to a box in the attic, opto-isolated hacked 'standard' remote controlled dimmer :)
[09:01:54] justinh: so all there is in the bathroom is intrinsically safe 12V :D
[09:02:00] wagnerrp: i like mine, that have a little slider along side the standard switch
[09:02:10] wagnerrp: fits in the space of a normal switch
[09:02:14] justinh: wagnerrp: not in the bathroom though
[09:02:22] wagnerrp: sure, why not?
[09:02:31] justinh: are they IP rated?
[09:02:50] justinh: I looked high & low for IP rated dimmer switches
[09:03:08] Dibblah: The common solution is to put them outside the room ;)
[09:03:09] wagnerrp: no, just direct power, about $5 at lowes
[09:03:20] wagnerrp: IP rating?
[09:03:33] justinh: ingress protection – you know – for harsh environments
[09:03:35] Dibblah: Is it rated to be insulating when wet.
[09:04:07] justinh: bathrooms can be pretty unsafe places if you don't keep electrics far enough away :P
[09:04:17] wagnerrp: no idea
[09:04:30] wagnerrp: actually, that make sense why they recently had to be replaced
[09:04:39] wagnerrp: although they failed after about 5 years

[09:05:06] wagnerrp: water vapor may have finally taken its toll
[09:05:41] justinh: then again, you'd probably not have as few clues as the electrician who was called back to finish installing a shower in a cubicle – apparently he'd forgot.. anyway he dutifully fitted a 13A socket IN THE CUBICLE & wired the shower into that by putting a plug on its mains cable! :-O
[09:06:22] justinh: wagnerrp: not sure your building inspector would like that an awful lot
[09:06:28] wagnerrp: why would a shower need power?
[09:06:48] justinh: wagnerrp: because in the UK few people have hoofing great big boilers. most of us have electric showers
[09:07:22] justinh: and a power shower can empty a hot water tank in mere seconds :P
[09:07:36] wagnerrp: but you have a local one for the shower, its not just one electric unit on the main?
[09:08:07] wagnerrp: theyre doing that over here now too
[09:08:08] justinh: immersion heaters are very wasteful. most houses have got rid of theirs

[09:08:40] wagnerrp: but it supplies a whole house
[09:09:10] justinh: they suck though, very much dependent on mains water pressure & temperature :(
[09:09:10] wagnerrp: i mean what if you want hot water somewhere other than the shower
[09:09:25] justinh: yeah the combi boiler deals with that

[09:11:15] justinh: the irony is that ends up being more expensive than an electric shower to buy
[09:11:32] Dibblah: Depends on the on-demand boiler type. I've seen a very nice one which is about twice the size of a normal boiler – But contains it all.
[09:11:51] Dibblah: A pre-heated tank and enough oomph to fill a bath.

[09:12:10] justinh: we're gonna need a new boiler eventually, and when we do, it'll be a fancy one that can run a _proper_ shower
[09:12:34] Dibblah: Annoyingly, the efficiency is actually _higher_ than a normal closed loop boiler setup.
[09:12:44] justinh: really? cool
[09:13:23] Dibblah: Boilers are more efficient when they are heating water that is cold. The condensate forms in the right place and the energy is not lost.
[09:13:41] justinh: well, our boiler is ok.. does heating & hot water on 2 separate circuits.. typical combi. condensing ones on the other hand...
[09:14:06] justinh: Dibblah: ah so no effing point getting solar water pre-heating if you have a condensing boiler then!

[12:00:33] dustybin: :P
[12:01:37] justinh: hrm. just priced some reasonable speaker cable on cpc.co.uk & it's cheap. could be way less hassle just to have a couple of amplifiers & go with speaker wiring – I mean do I _need_ it to be as fancy as I wanted it? hmmm
[12:02:23] gbee: already reconsidering the 5.1 idea, probably less than 1% of all my audio needs will actually be true 5.1 so what's the point? Plus to set it up properly would mean finding space on furniture and trailing wires all over the place
[12:02:56] justinh: if we hadn't redecorated our lounge I wouldn't have bothered
[12:03:00] gbee: might as well just get another stereo pair and save myself the money
[12:03:32] justinh: surround doesn't add that much to films anyway – certainly not as much as good audio quality does :)
[12:04:27] gbee: justinh: if this were for my TV I'd consider 5.1 more, but for listening to music and the odd tv program whilst sat at my desk – 5.1 seems like a pretty stupid idea already
[12:04:38] justinh: good speaker placement is rarely in sync with practicalities of living in a real house too
[12:05:18] justinh: gbee: yeah I'd ditch the 5.1 idea unless you were madly into games
[12:06:08] gbee: aye, almost impossible here – the shape of the room means there isn't really much choice when it comes to the layout of furniture, impossible given that to lay out speakers with any sense of balance etc
[12:06:38] justinh: we're lucky in that our lounge is the right shape, but there's only one way it'll all 'go'
[12:07:40] justinh: if we were to mount the TV above the fireplace (OW MY NECK!), one speaker would lose its pride of place
[12:08:17] gbee: guess now I have to decide between 2.1 and plain old stereo – sub would probably have to sit under the desk reducing my leg room
[12:08:50] justinh: subs don't have to be massive
[12:09:03] gbee: true
[12:09:55] justinh: 2.1 is prolly the best bang for box size
[12:10:20] justinh: or if you really like good audio, get a cheap integrated amp & some real speakers :D
[12:12:44] justinh: think my audio setup for my desk cost little over £100
[12:13:08] gbee: not really an audiophile, but these current speakers (cheapest pieces of tinny tat you could possibly buy) just sound so crap compared to my decent-ish headphones, looking to close the gap on quality a little
[12:13:17] justinh: sounds ace, goes real loud too.. ideal for those 'getting carried away' home DJing moments :D
[12:13:39] justinh: I think even the barest of 2.1 speakers would be an improvement then
[12:14:13] justinh: urgh. need to get motivated to open some source code files up
[12:14:56] gbee: the cheap-skate in me is kinda attracted to the £15 Logitech set on Ebuyer – gets an average 4.5/5 stars on the review front, though that might have more to do with the price
[12:15:11] justinh: you'd be surprised
[12:15:34] justinh: usually just the fact they have a sub marks them out as way better than just the same sized speakers on their own
[12:15:50] justinh: it's not gonna be anything like hifi but it should have more oomph
[12:16:20] laga: hopefully not too much oomph :)
[12:16:24] justinh: just so long as the sub has an independent volume control ;)
[12:16:43] gbee: Scan has them even cheaper ... and with free delivery too
[12:17:11] justinh: I was looking at those earlier.. still considering my options for this whole house audio malarkey
[12:17:34] justinh: 17W RMS too, so not too quiet ;)
[12:17:42] laga: if you're looking for 5.1, teufel.de has some nice deals. i sent mine back, tho. it was just not right for my room and i guess i had higher expectations. i might buy one again when i move

[12:19:41] laga: especially because it doesnt remember volume settings once you unplug it, which is what i generally do :( so i'd have to buy a 5.1 receiver as well
[12:20:15] gbee: shame the USB audio laptop speakers I bought don't work with this laptop due to USB kernel bugs, those are actually very nice
[12:21:17] justinh: wonder if my yammyhar amp has a way of remotely setting absolute levels
[12:21:28] justinh: that'd be nice :)

[12:35:30] justinh: gbee: in mythuibuttonlist.cpp, would it be ok to just reuse MythUIButtonList::Init() whenever the button list needs to be setup?
[12:36:22] justinh: or would it not need to do the whole parsing – I mean simply iterate through all the current buttons & calculate their positions...
[12:36:40] gbee: ah crap, they changed the rules on the free delivery offer – you now need to have at least 20 posts with avforums

[12:43:56] justinh: here == the lab, at work :P
[12:44:28] movedx_: I;ve been advised nVidia is the best GFX card vender to go with if you wanna work with MythTV. What card should I look at getting? I assume a cheap'ish one with a tv port on it would do?
[12:44:29] gbee: itemsvisible might need to be recalculated, so maybe lift everything from CalculateVisibleItems(); through to the end of the for loop, place it in a new function
[12:44:56] justinh: gotcha
[12:44:59] dvd-x: anyone knows if it's possible to use a backend as a frontend?
[12:44:59] gbee: you'll want to reset/clear m_buttonList before re-populating it

[12:51:01] movedx_: It'll be going into a monitor, justinh
[12:51:09] movedx_: May as well use the 22" I have.
[12:51:14] movedx_: In fact
[12:51:27] movedx_: If I decide to dual boot on my main machine, that has an nVidia 8800GTS
[12:51:30] movedx_: will that do?
[12:51:32] movedx_: ;p
[12:51:37] justinh: more than adequate
[12:51:42] movedx_: Excellent.
[12:51:54] movedx_: So, I need something for receiving the Freeview signal now

[12:57:46] movedx_: justinh: If I set out to buy a dvb-t pci card, is there any particular brand I should aim for, or perhaps avoid?
[12:59:07] movedx_: justinh: Also, I'm assuming I'd fit the PCI DVB-T card, then buy a freeview box and plug that into the said card and then MythTV can start searching for channels etc?
[12:59:24] gbee: movedx_: don't need a freeview box with a DVB-T card
[12:59:35] gbee: connects direct to the aerial
[12:59:43] dvd-x: well i just have 1 spare system and want to make a simple media center out of it
[12:59:49] movedx_: Got no aerial going into my room. Hmm
[13:00:25] dvd-x: so i read about mythtv and looks nice
[13:00:31] movedx_: gbee: At present, I do have NTL/Virgin Media going into my room. It's simply a cable internet connection, but I'm sure I could get the TV box setup too without to much effort
[13:00:52] dvd-x: but i just want 1 system not 2 system 1 with frontend and the other with backend
[13:01:17] dvd-x: anyone can push me into the right direction?
[13:01:59] justinh: dvd-x: everything in one box is the most common kind of setup
[13:02:06] justinh: you're reading more into it than you need to
[13:02:13] gbee: movedx_: for Sky/NTL you need a capture card (e.g. Hauppague PVR-150) which is quite different from a DVB-T/S tuner which gives direct access to Freeview/Freesat without the need for a STB to decrypt

[13:03:14] justinh: plus one or two more things..
[13:03:35] movedx_: So no advantage over just fitting a dvb-t then?
[13:03:41] gbee: no, you have to pay for encrypted channels (NTL/Sky), with DVB-T (Freeview) you get all channels free except for the cost of the card
[13:03:50] justinh: by a sheer accident, if you try to view Television X with interactive TV disabled, you'll be able to see the pron for free
[13:03:58] gbee: hence FREEview
[13:04:05] gbee: and FREEsat
[13:04:18] movedx_: Don't be funny gbee, you knew what I meant.
[13:04:24] rage__: dvd-x, to have both a frontend and backend on the same system is simple — just install both on the same machine and I *think* the default setup is for the frontend to connect to a backend on the same machine
[13:04:37] justinh: movedx_: we knew what you meant. mythtv is not about obtaining PAY TV without paying
[13:04:37] movedx_: justinh: :O
[13:04:48] movedx_: I never said it was – not once.
[13:04:53] justinh: you inferred it
[13:04:56] gbee: movedx_: not trying to be funny, you'd be suprised how many people we get in here don't actually understand the basics
[13:05:06] movedx_: I'm merely unsure how it works.
[13:05:08] rage__: if not, simply configure the frontend to have 127.0.0.1 or localhost (I forget which it prefers — though it really shouldn't matter) for its address for the database and backend
[13:05:21] rage__: aside from that, I can't name any documentation offhand :P
[13:05:38] movedx_: gbee: So I fit a DVB-T card and feed an aerial directly in to it? Hmm.
[13:05:44] gbee: movedx_: correct
[13:05:48] movedx_: I'd have to feed the aerial into the room first
[13:05:57] movedx_: what a pain – but probably worth it.

[13:06:26] justinh: you'll generally find you can't get a good enough signal if you just split the aerial feed without amplifying it first
[13:06:38] justinh: maybe one split, no more
[13:06:47] justinh: every split halves the signal level
[13:06:53] justinh: (at best)
[13:07:05] jarle (jarle!n=jarle@70.84-234-133.customer.lyse.net) has joined #mythtv-users
[13:07:15] rage__: in theory
[13:07:18] justinh: for best results, do all your channel scanning & setting up with as few things on the aerial coax as possible
[13:07:19] gbee: the difference between DVB/ATSC etc is that MythTV gets the raw digital feed, a capture card, like the PVR-150 instead could be seen as a high speed digital camera taking snapshots of the video and combining those images back into video
[13:07:20] movedx_: Well no-one else uses it in the house, so I could possibly feed a single cable down.
[13:07:21] rage__: though in my days I never experienced that
[13:08:06] justinh: rage__: you mean you never had a problem with the signal being halved because your signal was strong enough for it not to matter :)
[13:08:14] rage__: nah
[13:08:16] rage__: I used to install cable
[13:08:21] rage__: and I rarely had problems with splitters
[13:08:35] gbee: a capture card is more primitive tech, it converts an analogue image back to digital, DVB is wholly digital – like downloading a video off the net you get an exact copy
[13:08:44] justinh: then you're talking crap. even properly matched, splitting a cable is going to at least half the signal
[13:08:59] rage__: almost every time I actually ran a signal test it was neraly the same straight from the cable box on the outside of the house as in the house post splitter
[13:09:27] justinh: with cable it's different because it's being driven from a low source impedance
[13:09:27] movedx_: gbee: Is is a dvb-t card the best option for me?
[13:09:35] rage__: ah
[13:09:44] rage__: can't argue there, don't know enough about the difference :x
[13:09:58] rage__: but that's enough type type for me
[13:10:03] rage__: 8am, time for bed :)
[13:10:17] justinh: well rage__ put it this way – it's the difference between a mere aerial & a cable co. distribution amp
[13:10:20] justinh: :D
[13:10:26] gbee: movedx_: if you are happy with the range of channels available on Freeview, or you don't want to pay a TV subscription – then definately yes
[13:11:13] movedx_: gbee: freeview will likely offer me what I want. When I get my own place, then I'll get a cheap Sky box fitted and buy a decent subscription, and then make my own "Sky+" box :D
[13:11:16] gbee: I only record Freeview (and Freesat) – plenty of channels and choice, doesn't cost me a penny (ignoring the TV license)
[13:11:46] movedx_: exactly
[13:11:57] movedx_: We have a TV licence so that isn't an issue.
[13:12:45] movedx_: So what's your setup then, gbee?
[13:13:03] gbee: dvb is certainly less hassle than capturing video and higher quality since you avoid the analogue/digital conversion and noise etc
[13:13:06] movedx_: How many channels can you record at once? I'm interested in being able to record one channel, and watch another, at the same time.
[13:13:26] justinh: movedx_: if both channels are on the same multiplex, you only need one tuner card

[13:14:23] justinh: I have three pci dvb-t tuner cards
[13:14:26] movedx_: So if I had two tuners, could I record four BBC channels at once? :P
[13:14:41] justinh: you can record up to 5 channels per multiplex at the same time
[13:14:49] movedx_: :O:O:O
[13:15:01] gbee: movedx_: well main backend is a dual dvb-t tuner (minimum of 2 channels at once, theoretical maximum of maybe 14 on Freeview), a DVB-S tuner (min 1 channel, max 5/6)
[13:15:03] justinh: you need one tuner per multiplex you want to record from at the same time
[13:15:38] justinh: and that limit of 5 channels per mux is easily hacked in the source code. I made it 10 on a dev machine just for giggles
[13:15:39] gbee: the 5 channels per multiplex is an artificial limit
[13:15:54] justinh: recorded 10 shows from one tuner card – 7 TV channels & 3 radio channels
[13:15:58] gbee: but it's probably more than you'd really need
[13:16:05] justinh: all on an 800Mhz athlon box :D
[13:16:11] movedx_: lol
[13:16:13] movedx_: nice

[13:26:03] justinh: just knowing I wasn't completely wide of the mark is reassuring
[13:26:51] justinh: knowing how some things work isn't enough, it's knowing when they apply too innit
[13:27:42] gbee: buttontemplate, is a variable, in this case it's a pointer to the button template – the bit in the theme which defines what the button should look like, it is declared in the local scope of Init() meaning that it can _only_ be used there, to use it in the new function you either need to pass that variable into the function i.e. SomeFunction(variable), or instead you just create it from scratch as I'd suggest here
[13:28:31] justinh: big ahhh
[13:29:56] gbee: the explanation might have been simpler – it's a matter of scope – Global, Class, or Local – all variables declared in a function are local to that function – they simply don't exist as far as the rest of the class is concerned
[13:30:41] gbee: for clarity MythTV standards require class scope variables (so called member variables), to be prefixed with m_ – they are visible to the whole class and are declared in the .h header
[13:31:11] justinh: yeah I remember having that explained before. well, now I remember ;)
[13:31:53] gbee: global scope variables are declared outside the class entirely and generally in Myth are prefixed with g or g_ e.g. gContext

[13:44:47] justinh: I took your suggestion of (IIRC) calling it every time SetPositionArrowState is called rather literally

[13:49:41] movedx_: That's not a problem – I'm certainly not concerned ;)
[13:49:43] justinh: and myth doesn't come with the red button interactive stuff enabled by default, so...
[13:50:23] justinh: gbee: did you see that Sky have given up on their 'Picnic' plan for now? :D
[13:50:25] gbee: everything marked in red on that page I posted is encrypted
[13:50:26] movedx_: not interested in all that – simply want the BBC channels, Virgin1 (now that I know it exists on there) and perhaps the ITV and Channel 4 stuff
[13:50:45] gbee: justinh: yeah
[13:51:02] gbee: justinh: even funnier than the original news was the rebuttal from OfCom
[13:51:07] movedx_: justinh: what's that then, their picnic plan?
[13:51:33] justinh: movedx_: remove Sky News, Sky SPorts News & Sky Three, replace them with four mpeg4 pay tv channels you'd need a new STB for
[13:51:41] gbee: Sky blamed OfCom dragging their heals, but OfCom say that Sky filed all their applications months after each deadline
[13:51:49] justinh: rofl
[13:52:16] movedx_: haha
[13:52:36] justinh: not only would SKy have extended their existing monopoly by use of their usual restrictive practises, it'd have fragmented & utterly confused the public
[13:52:49] justinh: the emphasis on the latter
[13:52:59] movedx_: justinh: oh so they're removing some of their free channels and replacing them with channels that require an extra subscription?
[13:53:11] justinh: they DID plan to do that, but OFCOM kyboshed it
[13:53:18] movedx_: good stuff
[13:53:22] movedx_: OfCom rock
[13:53:30] justinh: the one time they ever did :D
[13:54:08] movedx_: I work for Vodafone, and we people saying, "I'll go to ofcom and sue you" and we're like, "fine – you signed a contract!" and Ofcom just turn them away.
[13:54:17] gbee: apparently Sky's last required filing was just a month ago (late again) and OfCom rightly say that Sky's decision clearly had nothing to do with OfCom proceeding slowly – a month in regulatory terms is nothing

[13:58:18] movedx_: lol
[13:58:32] movedx_: Sounds like a typical company and its idiot MDs
[13:59:04] justinh: oh farking heck. wife's just been on the phone to Virgin to get em to get us a cable modem so we can have the 10Mb broadband we're paying for. they wanted £40 off us!
[13:59:19] movedx_: Only 10? :(
[13:59:20] gbee: justinh: huh?
[13:59:29] movedx_: I have 20 coming into my bedroom alone
[13:59:47] justinh: yeah our BB is through the STB, so is a max of 4 -which was fine when that was the service level
[14:00:00] justinh: now they've upgraded it to 10Mb, so we need a modem now aswell
[14:00:04] movedx_: I suppose 10mbit is fine for most users I guess.
[14:00:14] justinh: and the cheeky bleeders wanted £40 to deliver it
[14:00:18] movedx_: It's cheeky for them to request money from you; you're already paying them for the service.
[14:00:25] gbee: justinh: ahh, hmm, that sucks really – my new modem was free, although that was a replacement for an older model
[14:00:29] movedx_: GO TO OFCOM!!
[14:00:33] justinh: getting it for free now (allegedly)
[14:00:40] justinh: DIY install job too

[14:01:12] movedx_: can't wait until that comes out ;)
[14:01:14] gbee: movedx_: 10mbit is more than fast enough really, at least when you look at the price of 20
[14:01:15] justinh: we considered downgrading to 2Mb, but the price difference is squat all in real terms
[14:01:25] movedx_: gbee: Yeah pretty much :)
[14:01:41] movedx_: gbee: I tend to have two or three BTs going at 10mbit, and the other 10mbit for surfing and games.
[14:02:03] justinh: pfft. blackberry. somebody dig out the link chutt posted yesterday :D

[14:03:04] gbee: Chutt's handywork – well some of it
[14:03:30] justinh: movedx_: no, the device in the link is NICE
[14:03:46] justinh: and its UI kinda makes everything available now look a bit cacka
[14:04:43] movedx_: yeah it looks good. always liked nokia. it's why I have a Nokia N96 :)
[14:05:32] movedx_: hehe that has some funky features; wonder when it'll be out?
[14:08:20] movedx_: to be fair though – simply a fancy UI and a nice gpu; hdmi port is a nice feature, but it'll be used by about 1% of Vodafone's market sgement that's for sure
[14:09:37] gbee: that's all the iPhone is really and that seems to be doing well
[14:09:59] movedx_: the iPhone can't even send MMS

[16:24:50] dustybin: when i play my ripper h264 on my PXE frontend, it keeps on pausing, the frontend says this
[16:24:53] dustybin: 2008-09–19 17:23:44.364 NVP: prebuffering pause
[16:25:01] dustybin: the CPU isnt maxed out at all, about 30%
[16:25:20] wagnerrp: prebuffering means some sort of IO stall
[16:25:31] wagnerrp: youre not receiving data fast enough from disk or network
[16:25:34] dustybin: is there enough bandwidth to play a 2000kbps h264 file over a 100mb ethernet connection?
[16:25:52] wagnerrp: is this through myth, nfs, samba?
[16:25:57] dustybin: nfs
[16:26:07] dustybin: mythvideo >> nfs
[16:26:29] wagnerrp: not sure, ive had problems with samba before

[16:28:09] Shadow__X: should i honestly care what video card i get for my new mythbox aslong as it does xv?
[16:28:16] wagnerrp: do its actually at 40%, not 30
[16:28:21] dustybin: if NFS cannot play back SDTV rip, imagine how bad a full HD file would be?!
[16:28:37] wagnerrp: Shadow__X: is it nvidia?
[16:28:49] Shadow__X: i am leaning towards them
[16:29:01] wagnerrp: then there should be no problem
[16:29:01] Anduin: dustybin: I regularly record and play HD over NFS
[16:29:01] dustybin: Shadow__X: get a nvidia FX6200
[16:29:02] Shadow__X: although a new driver release sounds promising for ati
[16:29:10] wagnerrp: ive heard the intel cards work decently too
[16:29:19] dustybin: Anduin: i wonder what the problem is
[16:29:36] dustybin: actually, it could be the crappy onboard intel chip im using at the moment
[16:29:37] wagnerrp: dustybin: is this the internal player?
[16:29:38] Shadow__X: wagnerrp, i was asking because would it make a difference if i got a 7200 8800 or a 9600
[16:29:43] dustybin: wagnerrp: yes
[16:29:43] Shadow__X: would any of those make a diff
[16:29:53] wagnerrp: see if mplayer would make a difference
[16:30:01] wagnerrp: Shadow__X: in windows, yes
[16:30:05] Shadow__X: right
[16:30:07] Shadow__X: i know that
[16:30:10] wagnerrp: in linux, not a damn bit... at the moment
[16:30:16] Shadow__X: hmm
[16:30:20] Shadow__X: thats what i though
[16:30:34] Shadow__X: but would it make sense to get a better card now for the future or just get something cheap
[16:30:39] wagnerrp: theres always the chance of someone writing a CUDA decoder, but i wouldnt keep your hopes up
[16:30:54] Shadow__X: i plan to do alot of hd so i guess better cpu

[16:42:12] iamlindoro_: Thank you for playing Dustybin's Guide to the Galaxy.
[16:43:40] dustybin: that didnt work
[16:44:02] dustybin: i wonder if 512mb of ram is enough on my frontend
[16:44:22] iamlindoro_: Streaming isn't affected by your RAM
[16:44:39] iamlindoro_: and yes, for SD that should be more than enough
[16:49:25] dustybin: ill really need to wait until my nvidia card comes and see if that makes a difference
[16:49:40] dustybin: the bottle neck might be the onboard intel chip
[16:49:58] dustybin: 2000kbps is pretty high for SD
[16:50:09] iamlindoro_: No, it's not at all
[16:50:13] dustybin: oh
[16:50:22] iamlindoro_: That Intel board should be fine-- I *would* look at drivers, though
[16:50:30] ** dustybin checks **

[16:54:03] dustybin: they
[16:54:12] iamlindoro_: 5200 or better will be fine

[16:56:00] dustybin: greedyhdeint: size changed from 0 x 0 -> 720 x 448
[16:56:01] oobe: iamlindoro_, im actuall reading about the 5200 it has some advantages i can get one on ebay for less than 10$ and it can have a color osd using xvmc :)
[16:56:20] gbee: oobe: vga, dvi, hdmi? not that I know the answer whichever you choose, but it helps
[16:56:35] oobe: dvi
[16:56:43] oobe: thats what i hope to get working
[16:56:50] kothog (kothog!n=kothog@unaffiliated/kothog) has joined #mythtv-users
[16:56:59] oobe: i would prefer hdmi but i dont know any agp hdmi cards
[16:56:59] wagnerrp: make sure that 5200 supports that resolution on digital
[16:57:14] iamlindoro_: oobe, very generally speaking, yes, AGP has bandwidth for 1080 stuff, and a 5200 is capable of 1080 output. Outside of that, you'll have to look up the specs of your specific card.
[16:57:17] oobe: it supports almost double 1080
[16:57:28] dustybin: NVP: prebuffering pause  :-(
[16:57:29] wagnerrp: oobe: HDMI === DVI, you can just get an adapter (cable)
[16:57:43] oobe: but what about sound
[16:57:46] gbee: plus the specs of the TV to see what resolutions and refresh rates it will accept
[16:57:52] oobe: doesn hdmi out put sound from the pc to tv
[16:58:07] oobe: other wise i have to plug speakers into the pc
[16:58:13] gbee: HDMI == DVI, HDMI !== DVI
[16:58:18] wagnerrp: iamlindoro_: capable of 1080 digital? because older cards usually only supported 1280 or 1600
[16:58:19] oobe: is that correct
[16:58:44] oobe: i thought DVI and hdmi are the same except hdmi does sound to
[16:58:52] wagnerrp: thats correct, HDMI has the advantage of pumping audio as well, but almost no card allows linux to take advantage of it
[16:59:00] oobe: oh ok
[16:59:05] wagnerrp: HDMI 1.3 is a deviation from DVI
[16:59:12] gbee: == – equal, === – identical :)

[16:59:19] wagnerrp: much like DL DVI is a deviation from HDMI
[16:59:21] RyeBrye: Would an extra $100 to go from a Core2 Duo a 3 Ghz to a Core2 Quad at 2.83 (either of them I'd OC up to 3.6 or 4) – see any benefit for MythTV useage?
[16:59:24] wagnerrp: both make it incompatible
[16:59:32] wagnerrp: but neither are anything you have to worry about
[16:59:45] wagnerrp: RyeBrye: do you transcode?
[16:59:47] gbee: wagnerrp: ATI cards allow sound over HDMI
[16:59:52] gbee: in linux
[16:59:59] iamlindoro_: RyeBrye, If you're running lots of commflagging/transcoding, yes. If it's just for playback, then no.
[17:00:06] oobe: wagnerrp, incompatable ?
[17:00:07] wagnerrp: yes, but ATI cards are... ATI
[17:00:32] RyeBrye: I can have the new beefy box run as the masterbackend and run commflag jobs for things recorded on a slave backend, correct?
[17:00:44] wagnerrp: oobe: HDMI 1.3 cranked up the allowable frequency for increased bandwidth, DLDVI added more connectors for increased bandwidth
[17:00:50] iamlindoro_: RyeBrye, sure
[17:01:00] wagnerrp: both extend outside their shared compatibility
[17:01:23] RyeBrye: I suppose if I had a box capable of transcoding quickly, I would transcode more
[17:01:24] wagnerrp: but as i said, you dont have to worry about either
[17:01:36] dustybin: iamlindoro_: its def the drivers, different options do different stuff
[17:01:52] gbee: my onboard ATI x1250 is connected via HDMI w/ sound, good stuff
[17:02:02] oobe: this card im looking at the 5200 says
[17:02:02] oobe: 2048 x 1536 max res
[17:02:16] oobe: so i think it should work
[17:02:25] oobe: it has dvi and s-video
[17:02:58] wagnerrp: the maximum digital resolution is NOT 2048x1536, look again
[17:03:12] wagnerrp: at best its 1920x1200, but im worried it might be 1600x1200
[17:03:59] oobe: http://cgi.ebay.com.au/NVidia-FX5200-128MB-DV . . . photohosting
[17:04:21] wagnerrp: thats fine, look somewhere else
[17:04:32] oobe: sorry you dont have to look just thought it may help if you knew what i was looking at
[17:04:52] wagnerrp: the best resolution youre ever going to get out of a single link video card is 1920x1200
[17:04:55] oobe: ah ok so you think there specs are wrong
[17:05:06] wagnerrp: that higher resolution is the maximum analog resolution
[17:05:19] oobe: which is enough for full hdtv anyway
[17:05:46] wagnerrp: correct, but i dont know if that card actually supports that high
[17:06:04] wagnerrp: for instance, my laptop supports 1600x1200 analog, but only 1024x768 digital
[17:06:08] oobe: im wondering if i can stream hdtv over my network anyway
[17:06:14] wagnerrp: older hardware doesnt support the full digital resolution
[17:06:22] wagnerrp: oobe: is it wired?
[17:06:30] oobe: this fe will be
[17:06:45] oobe: but be isnt
[17:06:51] oobe: its on a 54g
[17:06:52] wagnerrp: that could be a problem
[17:07:06] oobe: well i wont worry about hd
[17:07:22] wagnerrp: hdtv can be upwards of 19mbps, the best youll ever see over 54g is about 25mbps
[17:07:26] oobe: i usually record sd instead of hd if i get a choice to save space
[17:07:51] wagnerrp: well if youre recording digital, you have no choice
[17:07:58] wagnerrp: you just record what they give you
[17:08:20] wagnerrp: if youre recording analog, you have no choice there either, its going to be SD
[17:08:29] oobe: in australia where i live all the FTA channel give you hd and sd playing the same shows
[17:08:47] wagnerrp: they run the same show on an SD subchannel?
[17:08:56] oobe: yeah
[17:09:19] oobe: and sometimes they show different stuff but usually the sd and hd channels are the same
[17:09:32] oobe: and even then if i do record a hd show i can transcode it
[17:09:57] oobe: i dont want to upgrade everything i just want a cheap FE for the living room
[17:10:15] wagnerrp: so run a wire to the backend
[17:10:15] oobe: and SD is fine
[17:10:37] wagnerrp: expect that if you run a nearby microwave, or use a 2.4GHz phone, SD streaming will falter as well
[17:10:46] oobe: nah i would of done that already
[17:10:57] wagnerrp: ok
[17:11:01] oobe: the pc im on now is the BE im talking about

[17:12:07] SQLDb (SQLDb!i=sql@wikipedia/SQL) has left #mythtv-users ("No matter how dark the night, somehow the Sun rises once again")
[17:12:16] oobe: but that was sd
[17:12:40] oobe: and if the show hasnt been transcoded i needed to increase the buffer size
[17:13:28] oobe: im hoping this will work do you see any problems based on what we have discussed
[17:14:52] wagnerrp: basically, wireless may support SD, it will likely not support HD, and that card may not support 1920x1200 over DVI
[17:16:25] wagnerrp: some brief use of google shows at least one 5200 (by XFX) only supports 1600x1200 over DVI
[17:16:52] oobe: ok then i can do without hd
[17:17:06] oobe: but 1600x1200 is ample for dvi
[17:19:01] wagnerrp: 1280x720 would probably be a better option, just to maintain proper aspect on the tv

[17:21:17] oobe: i spose i could use ssh
[17:21:19] wagnerrp: if youre using DVI, it should be nothing more difficult than changing the resolution
[17:21:32] wagnerrp: youre not using tv-out, youre using DVI
[17:21:39] oobe: oh ok

[18:46:35] oobe: does anyone know how i can easily check the mps of my mythtv recordings?
[18:47:13] iamlindoro_: Do you mean the bitrate?
[18:47:21] oobe: yeah sorry
[18:47:24] iamlindoro_: ffmpeg -i somefile.ext
[18:47:51] iamlindoro_: or use a calculator, size of file in Kb / number of seconds = Kbps
[18:48:02] oobe: what i want to figure is how much network bandwidth my BE/FE will use streaming
[18:48:49] tank-man: simple algerbra
[18:48:49] kormoc: so look at a recording, see that it's x hours and x minutes and then look at the file size and then go to google and do some math?
[18:48:57] kormoc: google even does it for ya
[18:49:16] oobe: ffmpeg -i doesnt work with nuv
[18:49:27] kormoc: http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=1.2+ . . . ;btnG=Search
[18:50:11] gbee: if recording to nuv, or transcoding then the recording profile would give your chosen average bitrate
[18:51:12] oobe: so according to this http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=8+gi . . . ;btnG=Search i should beable to stream hdtv over a 54g network
[18:51:22] oobe: but i dont really think thats true
[18:51:31] wagnerrp: hes recording digital, so its whatever the digital gives you
[18:51:47] wagnerrp: under perfect conditions, 54g should have no trouble streaming HD mpeg2
[18:51:55] wagnerrp: but youll never get perfect conditions
[18:52:29] wagnerrp: the real problem isnt bandwidth though, its reliability
[18:52:44] wagnerrp: youll have momentary lapses in bandwidth, that will cause the video to pause
[18:52:50] gbee: if he's recording digital it wouldn't be nuv
[18:53:05] wagnerrp: ah, good point
[18:53:56] oobe: it is nuv after transcoding
[18:54:15] oobe: im yet to make a decent hdtv profile
[18:54:25] oobe: and i rarely record hdtv
[18:54:39] oobe: but still wont to know it will work
[18:55:24] wagnerrp: well ASP HD should be around 5–8mbit
[18:55:41] wagnerrp: again, it should run fine over wireless, but its other lapses you have to worry about
[18:56:34] oobe: ok ty wagnerrp but SD wont suffer from the lapses
[18:56:59] wagnerrp: sd mpeg2 will be 3–6mbit
[18:57:11] wagnerrp: sd asp will be ~1mbit
[18:57:23] oobe: what is asp?
[18:57:30] wagnerrp: mpeg2 may give you some troubles, it works fine on my laptop
[18:57:40] wagnerrp: asp should have no issues
[18:57:46] wagnerrp: asp = advanced simple profile
[18:58:00] oobe: whats that sorry?
[18:58:01] wagnerrp: as opposed to avc, advanced video codec
[18:58:08] wagnerrp: asp is what divx and xvid use
[18:58:13] oobe: oh ok
[18:58:15] wagnerrp: avc is what h.264 uses
[18:58:31] oobe: so would nuv be asp?
[18:59:09] wagnerrp: i believe mythtv transcodes to standard mpeg4 asp
[18:59:15] oobe: "Selected video codec: [ffodivx] vfm: ffmpeg (FFmpeg MPEG-4)"
[18:59:23] wagnerrp: as opposed to the modified divx or xvid
[18:59:26] oobe: thats what mplayer says
[19:01:14] oobe: so just to confirm i keep reading threads about people having trouble with modelines are saying if i use a dvi >> hdmi it should just work after i detach the FE from a key board and monitor and plug it into the tv
[19:01:57] wagnerrp: assuming its a resolution that the tv supports, it should just work

[19:04:45] gbee: modelines are kinda pointless for most people these days, it's only because the old docs refer to them that people keep using them

[19:06:34] oobe: its probably 50hz

[19:08:43] gbee: wagnerrp: depends, my Sony only has one (two technically) for HDMI and only one refresh rate per the 5 or so supported resolutions through VGA
[19:09:46] oobe: when i google any particular card i find more threads on people with problems than solutions so i guess this is why im asking so many questions plus i have never done this b4 except on an old crt which have bad overscan problems
[19:10:58] gbee: people don't post to forums when things work
[19:12:11] oobe: i know lol

[19:13:40] kormoc: Ahh, the internet. The largest ball of negativity in existence
[19:13:59] wagnerrp: of course the guy on newegg who dremels the PCIe connector so it fits in a standard PCI slot considers himself technologically knowledgable
[19:14:10] gbee: anyone reading the -users list might assume that MythTV is bug ridden, impossible to install, that no-one has ever got it to work and that it's missing hundreds of features
[19:14:35] iamlindoro_: I personally assume that forced sterilization might be a good idea
[19:14:52] gbee: reality is of course completely opposite :)
[19:15:37] wagnerrp: i think there are hundreds of features that people may want and arent in mythtv
[19:15:58] gbee: wagnerrp: thankfully people do it on hardware retail sites here too, but those are the exception and not the rule
[19:16:46] gbee: wagnerrp: yep, and it will _always_ be the case, for every new feature that is added three new ideas seem to spring up in it's place
[19:17:17] wagnerrp: there are probably a hundred features people want just related to bittorrent
[19:17:54] gbee: huge number of them are wacky ideas though, stuff that will never get implemented because only that one person would ever use it and for everyone else it would just get in the way
[19:19:48] gbee: we haven't always been strict enough in the past about people justifying features, the code of some plugins is a tangled, un-maintainable mess as a result

[19:49:34] JoshBorke: Q6600
[19:50:25] wagnerrp: mpeg2 has pretty good interleaving, so any issues are usually either lack of power, bugged decoder, or a major SNAFU at your cableco

[20:46:55] dustybin: gbee: how much power does your WAP eat?
[20:46:56] clever: which lets me create a private encrypted subnet in the hotel

[20:48:09] gbee: dustybin: not a clue really

[20:48:27] clever: one hotel even charges you per mac per day
[20:48:35] wagnerrp: clever: ddwrt specifically has a mechanism designed to use a router as an AP, its not abusing it

[20:49:40] dustybin: ok
[20:49:48] wagnerrp: the 2c3 is discontinues, look for a 2d3
[20:50:07] clever: gbee: the problem with stringing cat5 arround is that i need some way to split it to get 2 cat5's in a single port
[20:50:23] dustybin: because i run a public webserver at home, i need a router what is capable of doing multi-lan, not many home routers are capable of that
[20:50:27] wagnerrp: clever: what are you talking about?
[20:50:35] clever: wagnerrp: bringing my wifi ap to a hotel
[20:50:47] wagnerrp: put two cat5s in a single port?
[20:51:01] clever: to get 2 laptops running off a single port in the wall
[20:51:06] clever: id need a switch/hub to split it
[20:51:07] dustybin: clever: have you ever been guilty of sniffing other peoples packets?
[20:51:16] wagnerrp: so get a cheap $5 switch
[20:51:51] clever: i sniff all the time when driving down the road, but i can rarely catch 3 packets in a row
[20:52:02] clever: most of my sniffing is just to try and connect to the network so i can use it like a normal person
[20:52:18] wagnerrp: i would rather you were driving, than dicking around on your laptop
[20:52:22] dustybin: i can pick one of these up dirt cheap

[20:52:59] dustybin: they eat around 25 watts, that isnt too bad is it?
[20:53:00] clever: not yet
[20:53:22] clever: once, i threw the laptop into my bookbag and went for a bike trip arround town
[20:53:23] wagnerrp: dustybin: unless you need PCI slots, thats overkill
[20:53:26] clever: while it sniffed in silence
[20:53:31] gbee: dustybin: put simply, if you've got the time to spend on building and maintaining your own router then go for it
[20:53:46] dustybin: wagnerrp: i will need 1 PCI slot for extra NICs and the other for a wireless card
[20:53:58] wagnerrp: so get that alix board
[20:54:01] wagnerrp: it uses like... 2W
[20:54:11] keith4: odd. mythtv-setup crashes near the end of a channel scan on my QAM tuner...
[20:54:21] keith4: but it added all of the channels, as far as I can tell
[20:54:23] dustybin: wagnerrp: the alix board is about £200 with all the bits, that thin client can be bought for £10
[20:54:51] dustybin: 25 watts v 5 watts
[20:54:58] gbee: at the end of the day I simply became too busy to care, I like the easy life now, my days spent fiddling with configs is over
[20:55:01] wagnerrp: no it cant, you still have to buy network card, wireless card, memory card,
[20:55:23] dustybin: wagnerrp: thats true, but those are all dirt cheap
[20:55:44] wagnerrp: and the minipci card you get for an alix box is going to be much higher quality than some cheap ass pci card
[20:55:56] dustybin: wagnerrp: what makes you think that?
[20:56:01] dustybin: surely the same technology is used
[20:56:29] gbee: individually maybe, but it adds up and then factoring in your own time to work on it ... like I said, if your evenings are empty then knock yourself out :)
[20:56:44] wagnerrp: one is designed for consumers, the other is designed for professional installations
[20:57:45] dustybin: ive already researched full size wireless PCI cards, one of the best/compatible model is the TP-Link 651
[20:58:56] wagnerrp: so its an offbrand card with an atheros chip
[20:59:06] dustybin: yep

[21:07:24] oobe: shit sorry
[21:07:25] abqjp: gbee, can you kick this guy?
[21:07:26] oobe: i didnt relise it was that long
[21:07:28] oobe: im sorry
[21:07:30] oobe: i really need to know how to kill or cancel all my job queues
[21:07:32] oobe: a look;s like it stopped
[21:07:34] iamlindoro_: uhhhhhhhhhh
[21:07:34] oobe: sorry again
[21:07:38] oobe: i wonder why that happened in the first place
[21:07:39] iamlindoro_: Three lines would be too long
[21:07:42] gbee: abqjp: don't have privs in here – just #mythtv
[21:09:19] oobe: i wonder why someone would would ask someone else to kick someone when its obvious that they cant and its obvious the person does not deserve to be kicked for an obvious mistake
[21:09:49] oobe: thats like 3 obvious things to over look in go
[21:09:57] iamlindoro_: I wonder why someone would paste 3000 lines and ask how to cancel them, when all the jobs clearly show as "Finished?"
[21:10:13] oobe: yeah but there was still more going
[21:10:45] oobe: that was only a small sample and looked like a lot less lines when i copied it
[21:10:47] iamlindoro_: anyway, it's not obvious that gbee can't, he's a myth dev so it's reasonable to assume he could
[21:10:59] gbee: kormoc: just seen another new CSI adverts – a whole bunch of clips again from all three series, this time of suspects saying "I didn't do it" with the caption "If they won't confess, just try looking at them a little differently" followed by clips showing the CSI 'cops' extracting confessions just through looks
[21:11:13] ** kormoc blinks **
[21:11:15] iamlindoro_: and your mistake aside, there's no reason that it would have to be permanent, but also no reason we should have to hope that the pain ended soon
[21:11:21] oobe: thats right ops are often hidden on the net
[21:11:27] iamlindoro_: could have gone on all day
[21:11:27] ** gbee should put these online somewhere **
[21:12:38] kormoc: youtube!
[21:12:59] gbee: I was offered ops in here, didn't see the need at the time – but you'll actually find that those people who have ops don't choose to auto-op themselves in either channel
[21:14:48] kormoc: oobe, abqjp, the folks with +v are the ops in #mythtv-users
[21:14:57] oobe: oh ok
[21:15:30] oobe: oh so there not hidden then just dont auto op
[21:15:39] kormoc: correct
[21:15:44] oobe: then op themselves to kick or ban
[21:15:50] kormoc: as per freenode's request
[21:15:56] oobe: oh ok
[21:16:21] oobe: i like it like that so people feel equal
[21:16:22] laga: what's the deal with "hidden ops" anyways? i mean, would you behave differently if it was obvious?
[21:16:33] oobe: no
[21:16:46] kormoc: laga, Freenode thinks so, hence why they request people don't sit as ops in their channels
[21:16:55] oobe: i dont deliberatly do anything that would result in a kick or ban
[21:17:06] iamlindoro_: Wheee, finally got my Recordings back down to 0
[21:17:53] kormoc: oobe, given the channel FAQ says 3 lines max for pastes, that was well beyond the 'limit'
[21:17:54] oobe: i think the advantage is that ops are not percieved to run the channel being pestered with pms etc.
[21:18:29] oobe: it was an accident
[21:19:01] oobe: a lot of the text i copied contain 3 or 4 extra lines i didnt see untill i pasted
[21:19:04] kormoc: sure, and if I was in here, I'd have kicked you so the buffer would have went into the void and you could have rejoined without flooding us
[21:19:11] oobe: but i did copy more lines than 3
[21:20:29] oobe: its possible to make you bot auto kick after 3 lines in so many seconds

[22:16:00] wagnerrp: usually for destop form factor
[22:16:50] mchou: RyeBrye: yeah, I was wondering about that. Like whether the rebate can be applied towards a tuner card or something
[22:17:16] wagnerrp: nope, only towards authorized devices at authorized retailers
[22:17:20] oobe: dustybin, here are the specs one low-profile AGP card (card size = 6.35 cm [2.5 inches] high by 16.76 cm [6.6 inches] long)
[22:17:21] RyeBrye: Yeah, I could google and find it – but basically there is specific language in the rebate law that says "Nope, only a converter. If the covnerter has any extra features, it doesn't qualify"
[22:17:29] wagnerrp: and the only authorized devices are SD

[22:23:00] mchou: Marc Feldman
[22:23:00] mchou: Beachwood, Ohio, United States
[22:23:00] mchou: I had an idea to build a managed network of internet-connected set-top personal computers with tv tuners running dvr software heavily or completely subsidized with directed advertising and e-commerce tie-ins. The system is now patent pending. I also have a day job.
[22:23:04] mchou: "
[22:23:10] gbee: and there aren't necessarily tickets open for all the things we hope to get into 0.22
[22:23:24] mchou: "The system is now patent pending"
[22:23:30] mchou: wtf???
[22:23:32] RyeBrye: gbee – thanks. I was mostly wondering if 0.22 trunk was useable right now or not
[22:23:53] ** RyeBrye didn't want to ask if trunk was useable right now though, for fear of the beat-down that usually follows that question **
[22:23:55] gbee: one of those tickets is No. 12 – which has been open for years and which is targeted for 0.22, but it still needs months of work
[22:24:04] gbee: RyeBrye: it's usable

[22:25:00] RyeBrye: #12 – Ahh... the UI to MythUI
[22:25:25] RyeBrye: I finished that 3 months ago... I can't believe I forgot to submit the patch! ;)

[22:26:24] gbee: RyeBrye: wouldn't get your hopes up for any especially cool stuff in trunk, not just yet anyway – since 0.21 work has mostly been focused on the pretty long and boring job of switching to QT4 which brings with it no obvious end-user benefits
[22:26:54] RyeBrye: Isn't the updated HD-PVR stuff in 0.22 though? I'm just planning ahead for a system I'm building in the next week or two
[22:27:18] gbee: RyeBrye: aye and there will be an ffmpeg sync in the next week or two
[22:27:46] RyeBrye: Yeah, I like the bleeding edge because of the frequencies of those syncs and such
[22:29:06] RyeBrye: And... one final "status" question – the last update on the wiki for the multirec stuff was in May – but it says "The HDHomeRun external tuner is capable of supporting multirec, but the current version of the MythTV patch does not yet support it with that hardware." – I assume that is still the case, right? (no multirec right now with HDHomeRun)
[22:29:52] gbee: I believe that's still the case, no work has been done to add multirec support for the HDHomeRun since 0.21
[22:30:06] RyeBrye: Who do I need to buy an HDHomeRun for ;)
[22:30:24] gbee: heh
[22:31:07] gbee: DanielK has one and I think he intends to work on multirec support at some point, but there were higher priorities for him
[22:31:27] RyeBrye: Gotcha. No complaints, just wondering

[22:32:31] gbee: HDHomeRun is basically an external ATSC tuner correct?
[22:32:37] RyeBrye: It does QAM also
[22:32:55] RyeBrye: but yeah, it's an external network-attached tuner with an IR receiver in it for good measure
[22:34:38] RyeBrye: The IR receiver is kind of interesting – because the device's main feature is you can put it anywhere you have a good signal and a network attachment
[22:34:56] RyeBrye: I guess if you happen to have a good signal near your HTPC, you can make use of the IR receiver in the box
[22:35:36] RyeBrye: I don't think the multirec would apply to ATSC – just to the QAM256 part of the tuners
