[00:00:05] justinh: h.264 is a wide gamut of stuff ranging from things originating on shitty Taiwanese 'DV camcorders' to full-on AVC encoded (bastard to decode) broadcast HD.. to (bastard to decode) bluray material
[00:00:46] justinh: let's not forget mobile phones with built-in cameras at the low end too ;)
[00:00:57] cdent: hm, i guess i dont' know how to rephrase then, i wasn't aware of all the facets of the type of answer i was looking for
[00:01:16] justinh: a lot of people are in the same boat
[00:01:39] mzb_d800: how about "Full-HD" or "True-HD" (and forget the codec) ??
[00:01:39] justinh: AVC encoded h.264 1080p HD from BD.. that's about as hard as it'll get for a while
[00:01:56] mzb_d800: (prob. country specific definition ;)
[00:02:25] justinh: and you ain't playing that on a fanless system unless it has a cooler the size of a domestic fridge
[00:02:29] mzb_d800: s/definition/marketing
[00:02:33] justinh: not in linux, anyway
[00:03:01] iamlindoro: You could put it *in* the fridge :)
[00:03:03] justinh: and now, the good news. oh wait...
[00:03:07] darkdrgn2k: wow noawait seemsed to help allot..
[00:03:27] darkdrgn2k: do i need to do the same for the swap file :-P
[00:03:34] justinh: well, low battery so it's time for bed

[00:04:09] mzb_d800: one of those cases that _is_ a heatsink, and a low TPD cpu might do it? (guessing)
[00:04:09] iamlindoro: If you want to be *absolutely* safe and play pretty much anything out there, you will need a C2D at or near 3 Ghz. That's right, I said 3 Ghz. Finding that fanless, however...

[00:07:44] cdent: brb, soory, thanks for the suggestions on what to ask about
[00:07:58] wolfspirit: anyone here using the bluetooth PS3 remote? I had it working but now upon reboot my lircd just crashes with a segmentation fault.. it seems run if I comment out my lircd conf file
[00:09:03] mzb_d800: I don't have one, but wouldn't that remote be handled by devinput in X, rather than by lircd?
[00:09:33] wolfspirit: there is a daemon someone created called bdremoted that makes it work through lircd
[00:10:06] darkdrgn2k: can some one suggets a good remote?
[00:10:09] darkdrgn2k: udb
[00:10:24] darkdrgn2k: udb=usb
[00:10:33] Dagmar: ANything cheap and programmable that you like the look of.
[00:10:49] mzb_d800: wolfspirit: hmm ... check /proc/bus/input/devices.
[00:11:01] Dagmar: If you want USB, just buy a USB keyboard. Remotes aren't USB.
[00:11:05] kormoc: darkdrgn2k, Microsoft MCE Usb remotes are awesome
[00:11:10] mzb_d800: darkdrgn2k: receiver or remote?
[00:11:22] darkdrgn2k: remote
[00:11:34] mzb_d800: so you've already got a receiver?
[00:11:37] darkdrgn2k: i know i have 2.. but where can i find a microsoft mce .
[00:11:43] darkdrgn2k: sory need a receiger
[00:12:02] iamlindoro: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16880121003
[00:12:21] mzb_d800: I recently acquired a streamzap receiver (in a bundle). They seem quite nice.
[00:12:21] darkdrgn2k: new egg. wont ship to canada :(
[00:12:30] kormoc: darkdrgn2k, newegg.ca
[00:12:32] iamlindoro: I'm not suggesting that you have to buy it from them

[00:13:53] iamlindoro: Heh, they probably don't have all the distribution centers they have here just yet
[00:15:40] mzb_d800: wolfspirit: iirc, there's a devinput driver for lircd
[00:15:58] wolfspirit: it worked before that's the weird thing
[00:16:09] wolfspirit: mzb_d800: but upon reboot it now seg faults

[00:40:35] Blaidd: Can anyone suggest a good card that decodes Clear Qam that works with PCI slots?
[00:41:12] wolfspirit: Blaidd: ask me tomorrow.. I have the geforce fx 5200 pci and am about to try it out
[00:42:21] Blaidd: it's got supported linux drivers? (I just tried to get one to work that is not explicitly supported)
[00:43:22] wolfspirit: yeah the nvidia drivers
[00:43:31] Blaidd: cool
[00:43:35] squish102: wolfspirit u talking about a tuner card
[00:43:47] squish102: i mean Blaidd?
[00:43:48] wolfspirit: I get mixed up with decode and encode
[00:44:04] wolfspirit: the tuner card I have is PCI also.. the hd-3000 pchdtv
[00:44:06] Blaidd: yes, I'm looking for a tuner card
[00:46:39] Blaidd: I just tried to get the Hauppauge 1600 to work and i can get it reocgnized, but I can't get either the digital HD, or the analoge to pick up anything when scanning for channels on known good inputs
[00:47:41] kormoc (kormoc!n=kormoc@unaffiliated/kormoc) has quit ()
[00:52:58] iamlindoro: The 1600 *is* supported
[00:53:01] sphery: mwaaa-haa-haa... the ability to change themes is broken in current trunk and gbee made some changes which break many of the themes... Let the flood of messages/tickets/... begin.
[00:53:08] iamlindoro: I would seek help for it in #linuxtv if I were you

[00:53:20] iamlindoro: as both digital and analog in that card work fine.
[00:53:27] iamlindoro: both with Linux and with Myth
[00:53:53] ** sphery wonders how the price of the HVR-1600 compares to the price of the PVR-150... **
[00:53:55] iamlindoro: sphery, and the flood of responses that go something like "should have read the dev list yesterday, dumbass!"
[00:54:41] sphery: iamlindoro: Yeah. I've been trying not to be the guy who sends those responses, lately. I'm going through withdrawal.
[00:54:43] iamlindoro: sphery, last I checked it was doable for about $70... not bad if you stack that against the price of buying a hardware encoder and QAM card seperate
[00:54:52] sphery: nice
[00:54:58] sphery: how's the HDTV side?
[00:54:59] RyeBrye: Holy hell that auto-fsck thing is annoying to have on by default
[00:55:23] mchou: sphery: avoid pvr1600
[00:55:34] iamlindoro: sphery, works great-- Everyone has something to say about every card, it seems, but with my less-than-stellar QAM strength I still got good picture
[00:55:41] RyeBrye: I don't care if I've booted 36 times, I really don't care to make it boot up
[00:55:53] mchou: sphery: QAM doesnt work right on that card
[00:55:56] sphery: RyeBrye: I keep forgetting to turn off my count-based fsck on my laptop. It seems I /only/ hit the 60th boot when I'm either in the airport just before a flight or when I'm on the airplane.
[00:56:15] sphery: iamlindoro: does it do OTA ATSC (8VSB), too?
[00:56:26] mchou: sphery: and it doesnt work right not just for me, but at least 3 other people I know
[00:56:32] iamlindoro: sphery, yes (although I'm it ATSC dead zone so I didn't test that)
[00:56:37] iamlindoro: er I'm in
[00:56:38] RyeBrye: I set my count-based to 1000
[00:57:05] mchou: sphery: you're much better off getting a pinnacle from woot
[00:57:20] sphery: Hmmm. I know someone who might want one. I could buy his A180 from him and he coudl get an HVR-1600 (so he can still record analog junk)
[00:57:29] mchou: sphery: much better card than pvr1600 quality
[00:57:32] cdent: i have a 1600 if you have any specific questions
[00:57:35] cdent: hi sphery
[00:57:44] sphery: cdent: did you get things working/figured out?
[00:58:08] sphery: been busy trying to deal with a broken user configuration breaking some code that I submitted for Myth... :)
[00:58:25] mchou: cdent: can you pastebin your 'dmesg | grep tveeprom'?
[00:58:29] sphery: mchou: does the Pinnacle do both ATSC and NTSC?
[00:58:36] mchou: sphery: yes
[00:58:44] sphery: which card?
[00:59:02] mchou: and the pinnacle tuner is WAY more sensitive and faster tuning than hauppauge
[00:59:07] cdent: sphery: yes, but i have more questions
[00:59:08] iamlindoro: sphery, framegrabber only
[00:59:39] sphery: iamlindoro: Oh. I'll take the ivtv-based one, instead, then.  :)
[00:59:44] Blaidd: imlindoro: Thanks. I will
[00:59:51] mchou: sphery: I had nothing but GRIEF with 1600 digital tuner

[01:01:21] mkrufky: mchou: the OLD revisions of the HVR1600 didnt work with QAM
[01:01:26] cdent: sphery: do you mind if i msg you?
[01:01:26] iamlindoro: sphery, well, I can say no more than I found it to work fine, but hey
[01:01:29] mkrufky: there were very few of themn
[01:01:39] sphery: cdent: go ahead
[01:01:43] mkrufky: the ones in production (model 74041) di qam very well
[01:01:44] mchou: mkrufky: mine specically had a QAM label
[01:01:57] mkrufky: mchou: RMA it and I'll make sure you get one that works
[01:02:01] mchou: and mine is 74041
[01:02:12] mkrufky: maybe your card is bad
[01:02:18] mchou: mkrufky: so you have 1600?
[01:02:19] mkrufky: QAM works on the HVR1600 in my machine right now
[01:02:22] mkrufky: and i never miss a recording
[01:02:37] sphery: mkrufky: are you a Hauppauge employee?
[01:02:48] cdent: mchou: my 1600 was retail and came in a white box with some red
[01:02:56] mchou: mkrufky: I have 2 1600. and my friends have same issues
[01:03:07] mchou: cdent: thanks
[01:03:35] mkrufky: mchou: just like you can buy a hard drive DOA, maybe you had bad luck with your cards
[01:03:36] mkrufky: also
[01:03:45] mkrufky: the original windows driver didnt support QAM correctly
[01:03:51] mkrufky: get the new version and its fine
[01:04:04] mchou: mkrufky: umm, I've never bought two bad hard drives :)
[01:04:38] mchou: mkrufky: and have friends also get bad hard drives at the same time too :)
[01:04:46] mkrufky: anyway, please dont trash the only company that actually has employees that produce and release linux drivers
[01:04:57] mkrufky: OPEN SOURCE linux drivers, that is
[01:05:17] wagnerrp: pchdtv?
[01:05:29] mchou: mkrufky: dude, if the HW is bad I dont care which company produces linux drivers
[01:05:37] cdent: mchou: what's your issue? that you can't tune to anything but it's detected?
[01:05:47] mkrufky: PEBKAC

[01:06:29] mchou: cdent: my issues are: 1) tuning not stable (sometimes lock, more often not)
[01:06:29] ** iamlindoro shrugs **
[01:06:43] iamlindoro: Never saw any issues with either side of the card, and didn't use any special voodoo to make it work
[01:06:49] mchou: 2) pixelization (dropouts)
[01:07:05] Blaidd: it looks like I havea 74000 run though
[01:07:15] mchou: 3) I have HDTV and STB, and both of those receive fine
[01:07:17] mkrufky: it's 74041 that supports QAM
[01:07:21] Blaidd: damn
[01:07:25] mkrufky: they are ALL 74000
[01:07:32] mkrufky: 74000 is code for "hvr1600"
[01:07:39] mkrufky: 74041 means QAM
[01:07:56] Blaidd: it's only card right near the top where you see the prod number right?
[01:07:59] mchou: there is also 74051 now, iirc
[01:08:01] Blaidd: or is there somewhere else?
[01:08:07] mkrufky: written on the "tin can"
[01:08:15] Blaidd: hm
[01:08:16] mchou: Blaidd: dmesg | grep tveeprom
[01:08:19] cdent: mchou: perhaps your issue is related to the beta quality of the drivers, and the quality of your signal, i'm not an expert, but i have drop outs and sometimes can't tune as well, but my major issue is that, i can only record 1 hd program and then must reset
[01:08:41] iamlindoro: The drivers aren't beta.
[01:08:41] mchou: cdent: it could be driver or HW issue
[01:08:45] Blaidd: nope, mine' 74041
[01:09:03] iamlindoro: They're in mainline v4l-dvb (and the kernel, too).
[01:09:03] mchou: cdent: but I have no such issues with my pinnacle card
[01:09:08] ** mkrufky out ... good luck guys **
[01:09:11] mkrufky is now known as mkrufky-away
[01:09:15] Blaidd: Does that prod number support Clear QAM though?
[01:09:35] mchou: Blaidd: which product # specifically?
[01:09:42] cdent: mchou: i guess than that rules out signal quality, but i have had that same issue, i think, where i just can't tune
[01:09:44] Blaidd: 74041
[01:09:44] iamlindoro: Blaidd, ClearQAM is the only type of QAM you can tune.
[01:09:54] iamlindoro: With consumer digital tuners, that is
[01:09:59] Blaidd: iamlindoro Okay..
[01:10:03] iamlindoro: (not counting cablecard tuners, blah blah)

[01:10:44] iamlindoro: cdent, They are not. They are in mainline v4l-dvb.
[01:10:51] mchou: cdent: afaik the drivers are beta.
[01:10:54] psm321: iamlindoro: i'm assuming you mean that in a generic sense with tune == watch? (i was under the impression that you could tune encrypted channels but then you just have an encrypted stream sitting there and nothing you can do with it)
[01:11:04] Blaidd: I had to compile them myself and what not
[01:11:14] iamlindoro: Blaidd, having to compile them yourself ~= beta
[01:11:17] iamlindoro: er !=
[01:11:24] iamlindoro: does not equal.

[01:11:52] mchou: off* Hg
[01:11:55] Blaidd: well either way..
[01:12:09] Blaidd: do I need more than the cx18 to make the digital part work?
[01:12:22] Blaidd: (sorry, I"m still pretty new at figuring this stuff out)
[01:12:29] cdent: Blaidd: not that i'm aware of...
[01:12:38] mchou: cdent: it's definitely not a signal quality issue since ny TV, STB and other ATSC/QAM cards have no such issue
[01:12:44] mchou: my*
[01:13:02] iamlindoro: Blaidd, if you have downloaded and installed the current v4l-dvb tip and put the cx18 firmware in your distros firmware dir, then you should be fine.
[01:13:23] iamlindoro: Blaidd, If you have NOT installed firmware, then that is why you cannot properly tune.
[01:13:25] Blaidd: I thought I had..
[01:13:27] mchou: cdent: I dont think this is an isolated issue
[01:13:38] Blaidd: I have put the firmware in and I see them loaded in my dmesgs file

[01:14:16] Gumby`: hi all, I'm trying to find where mythweb stores its settings now. is in in the mythconverg db or still in a text file?
[01:14:32] mchou: cause my friends have the same problem, and I have 2 1600s
[01:15:30] mchou: cdent: all the othe functioning ATSC/QAM cards I have will actually report FE_HAS_LOCK with scan dvb, 1600 does not

[01:16:10] cdent: mchou: bug report man, i have so many bugs for cx18, but i haven't reported them...
[01:16:14] Blaidd: (I followed a link from a wiki)
[01:16:44] mchou: cdent: dude, I just gave up. cheaper & better cards out there
[01:17:05] mchou: cdent: I dont get paid to test sub par HW from Hauppauge
[01:17:32] mchou: cdent: they also use the cheapest tuners. TCL tuners are shit
[01:17:48] Blaidd: mchou: what other cards to you suggest then?
[01:18:05] mchou: I got the pinnacle and I couldnt be more pleased
[01:18:16] mchou: very very sensitive tuner
[01:18:27] mchou: $25 including shipping
[01:18:31] cdent: yeah, which NTSC/QAM/ATSC tuner do you suggest, that can also record NTSC and ATSC/QAM at the same time?
[01:18:57] mchou: umm, no NTSC HW encode on pinnacle, sorry
[01:19:32] mchou: and like I said 1600 NTSC is iffy too
[01:20:08] mchou: (this is an acknowledged driver issue re NTSC)
[01:21:37] Blaidd: iamlindoro: Nope, that's the one I"m using
[01:21:50] cdent: mchou: what do you mean by that last statement, ?re NTSC?????
[01:23:02] wolfspirit: has anyone here set their recording directory to be a samba share?

[01:27:11] wagnerrp: mythtv doesnt broadcast anything
[01:27:26] wagnerrp: mythtv just plays video through X (or in some cases a frame buffer)
[01:28:16] wagnerrp: also, mythtv does not do anything 'realtime'. even live tv has a several second lag behind the original transmission
[01:28:49] loudestnoise: emer08: but if your real question was does MythTV let you watch TV, then the answer is yes and record it as well

[12:04:15] orly_owl: Would a P4 1.8ghz 256mb be able to record one SD DVB-T channel and playback another with capture cards that featured hardware encoding and decoding?
[12:04:38] justinh: a little low on ram for a backend, but should be ok
[12:05:03] orly_owl: yeah i think i will double the ram (it's SDRAM btw)
[12:05:07] pat__: a p4 1.8 plays back sd tv (dvb-t) fine, I'm sure that recording a stream wouldn't be a problem as well. your ram is low
[12:05:14] justinh: considering a crap 800mhz athlon with 512MB ram can serve 3 frontends while recording one dvb-t channel...
[12:05:30] justinh: with plenty of headroom to spare
[12:05:33] orly_owl: assuming the tuners have hardware encoding
[12:05:47] pat__: dvb-t is by definition hardware encoded
[12:05:53] justinh: dvb-t doesn't need any encoding
[12:06:04] justinh: and dvb is NOT by definition hardware encoded
[12:06:07] orly_owl: pat__: oh ok. didnt know that
[12:06:24] orly_owl: conflicting opinions!
[12:06:26] justinh: all dvb tuners do is pull already encoded streams from the ether
[12:06:29] justinh: FACT
[12:06:42] pat__: you pull the already encoded signal from either the cable/satellite/transmitter
[12:06:48] orly_owl: the ether=the air?
[12:06:48] justinh: no encoding takes place on the card
[12:07:07] justinh: orly_owl: the airwaves, the cable, whatever
[12:07:11] orly_owl: k
[12:07:25] justinh: so, NO , it is NOT hardware encoded
[12:07:26] orly_owl: what's this i read about cards that support de/encoding then?
[12:07:35] pat__: so recording dvb-t could be done on a very low end computer
[12:07:37] justinh: orly_owl: only for analogue video
[12:07:42] orly_owl: ah right
[12:07:54] directhex: pat__, right
[12:08:12] orly_owl: so HD wouldn't really need more cpu grunt then SD
[12:08:16] justinh: but mysql isn't too comfy on a very low end computer :) and mythtv kind of needs that. Absolutely
[12:08:25] directhex: orly_owl, for recording
[12:08:32] justinh: orly_owl: nope, not for recording
[12:08:44] justinh: for transcoding, yes. for playback, definitely
[12:08:52] orly_owl: ok let's stick with SD for now.
[12:09:17] orly_owl: what tuners don't require firmware to be loaded?
[12:09:44] orly_owl: *that work with australian DVB-T. prefer PCI or USB
[12:10:12] justinh: why are you fussed about not needing firmware?
[12:10:19] orly_owl: it's less fuss
[12:10:25] justinh: it isn't really
[12:10:36] orly_owl: are there any such tuners?
[12:10:37] justinh: besides, it's damn hard to avoid it
[12:10:39] justinh: yes
[12:10:45] justinh: my 3 dvb-t tuners don't need it
[12:10:57] orly_owl: what model are they?
[12:11:11] justinh: leadtek lr6650. no longer available
[12:11:20] justinh: same as leadtek dtv-1000 IIRC
[12:11:37] justinh: but not needing firmware for a card is a shit excuse IMHO
[12:12:03] directhex: is orly_owl the one who wanted to run GoBuntu?
[12:12:11] orly_owl: no
[12:12:19] orly_owl: i dont run gobuntu
[12:12:29] directhex: someone did lately. they were unhappy that myth was linked against gl
[12:12:41] orly_owl: gl=opengl?
[12:12:43] justinh: and for all some people see firmware as some affront to OSS, GET OVER IT
[12:13:32] justinh: next thing, people will whine about their calculator's firmware not being open source
[12:14:11] directhex: justinh, do you have the source to those fonts? :o
[12:14:21] justinh: what fonts?
[12:14:32] directhex: the one you're using in order to read my question \o/
[12:14:41] justinh: I couldn't care less
[12:15:06] directhex: :o why do you hate freedom? :o
[12:15:12] orly_owl: will those tuners work with /whd
[12:15:15] orly_owl: gah
[12:15:22] pat__: I use leadtek dtv-1000t x 4 with a twinhan one for the 5th channel
[12:15:24] justinh: orly_owl: they're dvb-t, so yeah
[12:15:45] pat__: friend of mine has the dvico ones, they work fine
[12:15:46] justinh: pat__: how do you keep em cool enough? they were getting too hot in my case all next to one another
[12:15:50] orly_owl: what yeah? :/
[12:16:09] justinh: orly_owl: yeah they'll work with whatever excuse you have for HD over there
[12:16:15] orly_owl: lol ok
[12:16:17] justinh: since it's all on DVB-T
[12:16:26] orly_owl: yeah we have dvb-t
[12:16:29] mzb_d800: orly_owl: I use dtv1000t x2 + avermedia 777
[12:16:32] justinh: all 6 channels or whatever
[12:16:33] pat__: justinh: my backend lives downstairs and the case has a fan in the side that blows straight on the cards
[12:16:36] pat__: very loud
[12:16:39] orly_owl: like the US is any better with tv standards
[12:16:46] pat__: but in the under the house laundry sound doesn't matter

[12:23:52] justinh: eew segfaulty. trying to create a dialog without a parent.
[12:24:24] pat__: plug a pal to ftype on the back of the card and ftype through the rest
[12:24:28] pat__: works fine here
[12:24:49] mzb_d800: (being a relatively weak design ... in particular the pin socket tends to bend/wear over time)

[14:17:06] J-e-f-f-A|work: Interesting... Turned on my frontend this morning to check the weather on The Weather Channel ... Seems that Dish Network has made TWC an interactive channel... They now have an OSD overlay of local weather... Which you can't exit without using the dish remote...
[14:17:42] J-e-f-f-A|work: (or ssh'ing into the backend and issuing IRSEND commands to the receiver, which is what I did...) I wonder if that's a sign of what's to come for more channels?

[17:03:17] iamlindoro_: My point about it being obnoxious is made, I think
[17:03:37] jams: yes it has been
[17:04:07] iamlindoro_: anyway, the documentation has all the answers you seek, I highly recommend it as a read

[17:05:57] iamlindoro_: er S/T/C
[17:06:06] iamlindoro_: Especially the S and C folks

[17:07:11] iamlindoro_: I could easily *say* that DVB-C and S need an initial transponder to perform a scan, but what fun would that be?
[17:07:27] iamlindoro_: now forget you read that and go read the manual instead
[17:08:14] fietsbel: nothing about that in post-configuration though
[17:09:21] iamlindoro_: The static docs aren't the only form of documentation, we have a wiki too you know

[17:11:03] klarkc_away is now known as klarkc
[17:11:17] theBishop: is MythTV able to play Blu-Ray movies?
[17:11:27] wagnerrp: kind of
[17:11:32] wagnerrp: you cannot play them directly
[17:11:53] theBishop: you have to rip them first?
[17:11:57] wagnerrp: however they can be ripped/decrypted by anydvd
[17:12:07] wagnerrp: and subsequently played off the disk
[17:12:10] theBishop: windows blech
[17:12:24] wagnerrp: supposedly, anydvd runs just fine in wine
[17:12:32] iamlindoro_: VMWare, not in Wine
[17:12:39] wagnerrp: ah, my mistake
[17:12:58] theBishop: i think i'd prefer to keep windows off my machine entirely
[17:13:10] iamlindoro_: But Myth probably plays the resulting files better and with less hassle than almost anything-- and as of the next ffmpeg sync will have full audio codec support too.
[17:13:15] theBishop: what kind of progress is being made in BSD/GPL land?
[17:13:25] iamlindoro_: Slow but steady

[17:15:32] theBishop: so maybe sometime next year, i'll be able to watch the films i've legally purchased?
[17:15:50] theBishop: that would be awesome!
[17:15:59] iamlindoro_: Maybe. someone will still have to turn it from a program into a library-- I would expect a year or two
[17:16:19] zorglups (zorglups!n=Miranda@alc112.alcatel.be) has quit (Remote closed the connection)
[17:16:24] iamlindoro_: and then someone would need to add Myth support for said library, of course
[17:17:10] theBishop: blech. i love HD A/V, but the DRM is a killer... and not just in these discs
[17:17:11] wagnerrp: of course it may very well be worth the $100 such that you can play your 20 favorite movies without the disk
[17:17:25] wagnerrp: in which case slysoft is a solution right now
[17:17:31] theBishop: screw that
[17:17:33] iamlindoro_: Yeah, AnyDVD HD rocks
[17:17:41] iamlindoro_: By far the simplest solution
[17:17:43] wagnerrp: ($100 being the hard drive to store it, not anydvd)
[17:17:44] theBishop: i won't buy that out of principle
[17:17:53] theBishop: ah
[17:17:54] J-e-f-f-A|work: Is it possible yet to burn a ATSC 720p recording to a dual-layer DVD for playback in a blueray player? (like you could burn a DVD-structured CD that would play back on 'most' DVD players like a DVD, abeit much shorter video!)
[17:18:07] theBishop: well, if they released a linux version, i'd consider buying it
[17:18:39] theBishop: J-e-f-f-A|work, i'm guessing it depends on the file support on the blu-ray player
[17:18:57] wagnerrp: actually, how large is the average blu-ray?
[17:19:13] theBishop: wagnerrp, 50GB for dual-layer, which is most recent releases
[17:19:13] wagnerrp: i doubt most of them go over 40GB
[17:19:29] iamlindoro_: and if all you want is the movie file, 20–23 GB usually
[17:19:31] wagnerrp: theBishop: just because thats how much they store, doesnt mean thats how much they use
[17:19:32] iamlindoro_: er 20–30
[17:19:41] theBishop: wagnerrp, yeah, i see what you're saying now
[17:19:46] theBishop: probably 25–30GB
[17:19:50] J-e-f-f-A|work: theBishop: yeah, I've only currently got an HD-DVD player – bought it for $60 when Blue-Ray won, just as a gadget... I have about 15–20 movies...
[17:20:09] wagnerrp: i know when im ripping DVDs, i frequently only get 4–5VOBs for the movie
[17:20:15] theBishop: i did see someone made an NES emulator that runs on BD-J
[17:20:46] JEDIDIAH_: I'm not sure there are any currently released movies that I would want to spend 20–50G of disk space on.
[17:21:24] JEDIDIAH_: I already use anydvd for arcos and such.
[17:21:26] J-e-f-f-A|work: JEDIDIAH_: Eh? a 500GB disk can be had for $70 now...
[17:21:53] wagnerrp: give it time, that 20GB is all of $2.50 anymore
[17:22:35] wagnerrp: 750s are <$100, 1.5s are <$200
[17:23:01] JEDIDIAH_: I already have about 5TB of space.
[17:23:07] JEDIDIAH_: stuff adds up.

[17:27:21] JEDIDIAH_: what would a bunch of barracudas be, a school? '-)
[17:30:00] fietsbel: iamlindoro so you were telling me I needed a original channels.conf right?
[17:30:32] iamlindoro_: No. In fact, you do *not* want to import a channels.conf
[17:30:44] wagnerrp: unless youre grabbing analog from schedules direct (which youre not) you need to do a channel scan
[17:30:47] iamlindoro_: "iamlindoro_: I could easily *say* that DVB-C and S need an initial transponder to perform a scan, but what fun would that be?"
[17:30:49] iamlindoro_: is what I said
[17:30:54] wagnerrp: channels.conf is one mechanism for doing a scan
[17:31:06] iamlindoro_: He's using DVB-C
[17:31:11] wagnerrp: i know
[17:31:21] iamlindoro_: he needs to do an honest to goodness channel scan, providing it with an initial transponder
[17:32:05] fietsbel: where the hell can I find what an initial transponder is?
[17:32:20] fietsbel: I can find channels with scan and everything
[17:32:23] fietsbel: just now with mythtv
[17:32:34] fietsbel: now = not
[17:32:47] iamlindoro_: scan's output provides initial transponders
[17:32:54] iamlindoro_: first few lines, usually...
[17:33:39] fietsbel: and iamlindoro as soon as I search for chnanels I get the following :
[17:34:00] iamlindoro_: Because you are not doing what you are told
[17:34:04] fietsbel: 70.801147] dvb_ca adapter 0: DVB CAM detected and initalised succesfully
[17:34:09] iamlindoro_: ie, providing it with an initial transponder
[17:34:13] fietsbel: and it quits mythtv-setup completely
[17:34:55] iamlindoro_: taskset -c 0 mythtv-setup
[17:34:56] iamlindoro_: may help
[17:35:04] iamlindoro_: (or may not)
[17:35:34] fietsbel: cannot connect to x server
[17:36:18] iamlindoro_: You need to run it with access to X...
[17:36:43] GlemSom: If aplay -L shows me: "hdmi:CARD=Intel,DEV=0"... Then I would expect alsa to be aware of the hdmi-sound output... But using mplayer --alsa-device=hdmi says there is no such device... This is a bit confusing? :/
[17:36:53] fietsbel: I run it as root iamlindoro
[17:36:59] fietsbel: that has access to X I presume?

[17:40:50] sphery: fietsbel: There's a race condition in the current channel scanner that causes a segfault on multi-core/multi-proc systems.
[17:40:52] iamlindoro_: sphery: No problem, yeah... guess it would ust get confusing if I updated the base and the translated version remained the same
[17:41:04] sphery: fietsbel: use taskset to pin the process to a single core, then the scan works fine
[17:41:22] fietsbel: hmm :( I have no clue how to do that
[17:41:29] iamlindoro_: sphery: already gave him the command
[17:41:36] iamlindoro_: seems to have confused him
[17:41:37] fietsbel: that didn't work iamlindoro
[17:41:39] fietsbel: it has
[17:41:47] sphery: fietsbel: you do have a multi-core or multi-proc system, right?
[17:41:57] fietsbel: no
[17:42:04] sphery: fietsbel: then it doesn't apply
[17:42:14] sphery: so, nvm
[17:42:17] fietsbel: the weird thing is . when I remove the cam...it stops complaining
[17:42:33] sphery: it goes back to what iamlindoro_ said, then--crashing X is usually a problem with the drivers/card
[17:42:35] fietsbel: then it says: timeout scanning multiplex #1 found channel but it doesn't match exisiting tsid
[17:42:48] iamlindoro_: You can thank other DVB-C users for never ever EVAR documenting anything in the history of anything
[17:43:14] GlemSom: iamlindoro, It will accept alsa:device=spdif but not alsa:device=hdmi even though aplay -L tells me there's an "hdmi" device :(
[17:43:33] iamlindoro_: GlemSom: ask in #mplayer?
[17:43:52] sphery: GlemSom: aplay -L no longer provides useful information (it's a new feature in new ALSA's :)
[17:44:02] fietsbel: so basicaly it crashed because of the cam on the hardware device?
[17:44:12] sphery: meaning that the old one gave useful info, but now it gives info that's useless for a user
[17:44:22] GlemSom: Ohh ok :)
[17:44:47] sphery: you can define a logical device called hdmi if you like
[17:45:02] sphery: but getting it to work with your hdmi output may be more of a challenge :)

[20:15:08] J-e-f-f-A|work: perilousapricot: re: ir blasters — somewhat — If you've got a hardware serial port, a serial blaster works well and is simple to setup. The USB ones (such as a MCE USB receiver with IR blasters) would take less resources to transmit ir codes tough, as a serial blaster typically has to use the cpu to generate the 38khz carrier for the IR...
[20:15:53] perilousapricot: and can I control more than one device with it?
[20:16:16] perilousapricot: I've never seen the hardware before, so i'm kinda new at it
[20:16:29] J-e-f-f-A|work: perilousapricot: Assuming they use different IR codes, yes. The MCE one comes with two IR 'eyes' for placement on the front of your devices you're controlling.
[20:16:53] J-e-f-f-A|work: I built a 'buffered' serial blaster, with 3 eyes myself.

[20:25:15] perilousapricot: I've been doing a lot of bugtesting for ubuntu on pulseaudio

[20:27:20] J-e-f-f-A|work: AlNahar: That may be the only option for you then with your perticular sound card/motherboard/etc... I'm not exactly an expert in that area, I've just had to work via trial & error in the past to get it to work right if things weren't detected/configured properly automatically.

[20:28:34] J-e-f-f-A|work: AlNahar: You're using Analog output I assume?
[20:28:38] AlNahar: yessir
[20:29:18] J-e-f-f-A|work: AlNahar: Then if 'master' works, then I'd just configure myth to control the volume with the master control. Especially if 'pcm' doesn't work even in the 'alsamixer' app...
[20:29:39] AlNahar: no no, when i use it in alsamixer it works

[20:33:32] sphery: So the only option in Myth is Master
[20:33:41] AlNahar: sphery: k, so even though it shows up in gnome mixer, etc, you can't use front/pcm?

[20:34:47] AlNahar: k
[20:35:02] sphery: I have no idea what gnome mixer is doing, but if there's no control by that name in alsamixer, it's faking it (i.e. making a logical volume control called PCM that's actually attached to the Master volume or--even worse--making a softvol control and hacking--I mean--controlling the volume with that)

[20:40:09] sphery: (where "fixed" actually means there's a hack in place that prevents the symptom)]
[20:40:24] AlNahar: sphery: yeah, got that
[20:40:28] sphery: wolfspirit: and, really the deint would only cause an unbearably slow EPG, not "locked"
[20:40:41] AlNahar: i guess i am stuck with using "master" for now

[20:40:56] klarkc: =/ I cant rec in moment, not sheaduled?
[20:40:57] wolfspirit: sphery: I don't see a playback profile.. I see play back group and recording profile
[20:41:26] wolfspirit: sphery: which also has me confused.. there are like 5 different transcoding profiles.. how do I know which one it picks and when?
[20:41:49] sphery: wolfspirit: mythfrontend settings, then TV settings|Playback
[20:42:11] sphery: it's in there (screen 4 or so)
[20:42:29] sphery: Best bet, though, is to just change the playback profile group to Slim
[20:42:36] sphery: Slim is what most everyone should use to start with
[20:42:44] sphery: d/most/
[20:43:57] sphery: Slim uses deinterlacers that shouldn't cause problems (I'm pretty sure onefield is OK). See, also: http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/Playback_profiles
[20:44:51] wolfspirit: sphery: well I want high definition playback and overall everything seems great (now that I've moved my tuner to my main computer that is :P) I'm using a geforce 9600 gt and an hd-3000
[20:45:03] sphery: wolfspirit: I can't remember how the transcoding thing works. I think there's a default that's used for everything that's automatically transcoded (autodetect or something) and the only way to use the others is to explicitly say to use them in the Watch recordings screen
[20:45:21] sphery: wolfspirit: still Slim is good to start with
[20:45:24] AlNahar (AlNahar!n=fadx@68-185-239-4.dhcp.slid.la.charter.com) has left #mythtv-users ()
[20:45:40] sphery: I've actually taken Slim and made it even slimmer.
[20:45:56] wolfspirit: sphery: it doesn't reduce quality?
[20:46:46] sphery: Slim = software decoding with Xv rendering--which is what everyone should use (and only people with underpowered frontends have to use other approaches)
[20:47:12] sphery: Slim uses "lower-quality" deinterlacers that require significantly less processor power, so work on more systems
[20:48:11] sphery: However, you can use the high-quality deinterlacers, but if you do, you'll have to learn how to use Myth properly--i.e. never use LiveTV--if you're affected by the EPG/deinterlacing bug
[20:48:23] klarkc: I can watch Live video with hdpvr in mythtv?
[20:49:46] wolfspirit: sphery: it's weird.. it's like if I turn it to channel 5 the EPG works fine but others it has issues with
[20:50:13] ** justinh commits 3 days' work **
[20:50:22] sphery: channel 5 is probably a 720p channel (i.e. no deinterlacing required)
[20:50:36] justinh: channel 5, as in the UK channel?

[20:51:17] sphery: wolfspirit: what channel is "channel 5" (or what network is it an affiliate of)
[20:51:27] wolfspirit: sphery: nbc
[20:51:30] iamlindoro_: He's in Cincinnatti, so odds are not the UK one :)
[20:51:38] iamlindoro_: nbc = 1080i
[20:51:39] justinh: they sent a mix of progressive & interlaced to save bandwidth.. pisses me off no end
[20:51:43] sphery: if so, I want his antenna
[20:51:49] justinh: lol
[20:52:04] justinh: technically, channel 5 is now known as 'Five' here
[20:52:10] justinh: so my bad :)
[20:52:29] iamlindoro_: NBC, CBS = 1080i, Fox, ABC = 720p
[20:52:33] wolfspirit: sphery: well get this... the deinterlacing changes worked but it now it takes a long time for it to come up.. once it's up I can move through it
[20:53:05] justinh: right you feem lubbers. /themes are now working with svn trunk. bust my chops for 3 days, send no money now

[20:53:16] Dagmar: bustbustbust
[20:53:42] justinh: well when I say working.. the menus are working.
[20:56:30] sphery: wolfspirit: long time to come up usually means you have specified channel icons that don't exist on the local machine or that can't be read by the user running mythfrontend (you can prove that's the problem if you're missing some/all channel icons in the guide and if scrolling up or down in the guide is extremely slow, but scrolling left/right works well)
[20:59:26] wolfspirit: sphery: yeah that option was enabled but I didn't see any icons
[21:01:03] wolfspirit: sphery: I bet you that was main problem

[21:02:44] sphery: wolfspirit: if that's the problem, you should fix it. I.e. channel icons have to exist on all frontends at the exact same location. Generally, that means copying ~/.mythtv/channel to all frontends (possibly from backends).
[21:03:13] wolfspirit: or just disable icons
[21:03:16] wolfspirit: heh
[21:03:17] sphery: wolfspirit: or, if you have a broken--I mean--other than ideal configuration where one of mythfrontend and mythbackend runs as root and the other as mythtv, you'll have to copy from one user to another
[21:03:42] wolfspirit: I don't really care about icons.. that was on by default
[21:06:12] wolfspirit: sphery: thanks for the help.. even though on some channels it takes awhile longer it's a helluva lot better then before
