| [01:20:43] | Solaris444: | so i'm not running low on resources |
| [01:21:35] | Solaris444: | does anyone know why this could occur? |
| [01:22:31] | jhulst: | Solaris444: What does the myth logs show? |
| [01:23:04] | Solaris444: | where should i find the myth log? |

| [01:24:02] | jhulst: | Solaris444: How did you install mythtv? Most likely in /var/log/mythtv/ |
| [01:24:16] | Solaris444: | i installed from a package repository for my distro. |
| [01:24:38] | Solaris444: | ah yes, in that location |
| [01:24:40] | Solaris444: | readng now. |
| [01:26:11] | Solaris444: | i see, warning audio sample rate 32000Hz not supported by ivtv driver, change to 48000Hz |
| [01:26:23] | Solaris444: | surely that wouldn't cause my issue? |
| [01:26:45] | jhulst: | Solaris444: Probably not, what distro are you using? Can you ssh into the box when it's frozen? |
| [01:26:55] | Solaris444: | suse 11.0 |
| [01:27:03] | Solaris444: | the box doesn't freeze. |
| [01:27:06] | Solaris444: | that's the thing. |
| [01:27:13] | Solaris444: | it just starts failing at tasks. |
| [01:27:19] | Solaris444: | the UI is perfectly responsive. |

| [01:28:27] | Solaris444: | hmmm... |
| [01:28:33] | Solaris444: | this is interesting... |
| [01:28:50] | Solaris444: | i have 1 "mythbackend exiting" |
| [01:28:59] | Solaris444: | mutex destroy failure |
| [01:29:04] | Solaris444: | device or resource busy |
| [01:31:00] | jhulst: | Solaris444: Can you paste both the frontend and backend logs, maybe you'll have to turn up the verbosity as well |
| [01:31:11] | jhulst: | Solaris444: Paste using pastebin |
| [01:31:17] | Solaris444: | i only have a backend log. |
| [01:31:46] | jhulst: | Solaris444: okay, that may be part of the problem, you should start the frontend with logging enabled and look through that |
| [01:32:14] | Solaris444: | alright. how do i do that? is it a command line switch? |
| [01:33:21] | jhulst: | Solaris444: Yes, "-v help" |
| [01:33:29] | Solaris444: | ok sure thing |
| [01:33:43] | Solaris444: | I'll pastebin some of the backend log first |
| [01:35:15] | Solaris444: | http://pastebin.com/m6ae4b1b0 |
| [01:35:30] | Solaris444: | It's long, but i wanted to be sure there was some useful info there. |
| [01:37:01] | jhulst: | Solaris444: It looks like there are some db issues, is /var/ on a seperate partition? Is it full? |
| [01:37:51] | Solaris444: | the /var directory is on /dev/md1 |
| [01:38:10] | Solaris444: | the storage location for media is /dev/md2 |
| [01:38:22] | Solaris444: | mounted at /storage |
| [01:39:24] | jhulst: | Is there space on /dev/md1? |
| [01:41:05] | Solaris444: | checking |
| [01:42:30] | Solaris444: | yes |
| [01:42:31] | ** iamlindoro__ wonders how long a "df -h" takes ** | |
| [01:42:32] | Solaris444: | BUT |
| [01:42:44] | kormoc: | it's only 12 bytes? |
| [01:42:55] | Solaris444: | that partition is also used for temp storage. |
| [01:43:38] | Solaris444: | iamlindoro__ it takes a while when your keyboard decides to run out of batteries. there's no need to be snide. |
| [01:43:56] | Solaris444: | it's a 20GB partition. |
| [01:44:03] | jhulst: | Solaris444: That sounds like a good place to start |
| [01:44:06] | Solaris444: | with 5 or so being used by the OS. |
| [01:44:23] | Solaris444: | so you think this could be an IO problem? |
| [01:45:11] | kormoc: | failure to create temp tables could indicate a permission problem |
| [01:45:15] | jhulst: | It's a good first start |
| [01:45:24] | kormoc: | does the mysql user have rights on /var/lib/mysql or just on the files inside the directory? |
| [01:46:03] | Solaris444: | I'll check |
| [01:46:52] | Solaris444: | yes it does. on the dir and the files. |
| [01:47:26] | Solaris444: | all files under and including that dir are mysql:mysql and have rw access for the owner. |
| [01:47:32] | Solaris444: | so not a permissions isse. |
| [01:47:53] | kormoc: | well, did you check on /var/lib/mysql/.tmp? |
| [01:48:23] | Solaris444: | yes |
| [01:48:27] | Solaris444: | correct permission. |
| [01:48:43] | Solaris444: | however, on a side note, mythbackend usually fails to start on reboot. |
| [01:48:47] | Solaris444: | I have to start it manually. |
| [01:49:08] | Solaris444: | i think it is because it is trying to start before mysql at runlevel3 |
| [01:49:09] | kormoc: | Welp, there's no reason those temp tables should fail then. |
| [01:49:24] | kormoc: | That's a distro issue and likely should be taken to #distro if that's the case |
| [01:49:32] | Solaris444: | yes i agree. |
| [01:49:43] | Solaris444: | but that is only a minor issue. |
| [01:49:56] | Solaris444: | but i was just pointing out it could be the reason for the temp tables issue. |
| [01:50:01] | kormoc: | not really |
| [01:50:15] | kormoc: | if mysqld isn't running, it can't connect to the server to even attempt to create temp tables |
| [01:50:40] | Solaris444: | ok. |
| [01:50:56] | Solaris444: | so if permissions are set then it's an IO issue? |
| [01:50:57] | SlicerDicer: | kormoc: any update on the i Technology ;-) |
| [01:51:09] | kormoc: | SlicerDicer, the first commit was in last night :) |

| [01:51:13] | SlicerDicer: | nice |
| [01:51:37] | kormoc: | Solaris444, failure to create temp tables are unlikely to be a io issue |
| [01:51:38] | SlicerDicer: | kormoc: does it offer playback features? |
| [01:51:55] | kormoc: | Solaris444, you should talk to the mysql folks about that one, as it's not a myth issue |
| [01:52:14] | kormoc: | SlicerDicer, aye, if in the same storage group there's a chanid_starttime.mp4 file |
| [01:52:40] | SlicerDicer: | is that the same as what the umm |
| [01:52:46] | SlicerDicer: | mythiphone thingy is? |
| [01:52:51] | SlicerDicer: | that I linked you? |
| [01:53:13] | kormoc: | nope |
| [01:53:18] | Solaris444: | SlicerDicer: is that something to do with using the iphone as a remote for mythtv? |
| [01:53:24] | SlicerDicer: | no |
| [01:53:35] | SlicerDicer: | kormoc: I am just trying to remember format |
| [01:54:03] | SlicerDicer: | 5490_20070818200300.mpg.mp4 |
| [01:54:07] | SlicerDicer: | thats labeling of what mine are |
| [01:54:33] | kormoc: | SlicerDicer, just .mp4 rather then .mpg.mp4 and it should stream |
| [01:54:38] | SlicerDicer: | ok |
| [01:54:39] | kormoc: | I'm using https://www.kormoc.com/trac/browser/Scripts/b . . . uchExport.pl |
| [01:54:52] | kormoc: | and that'll be updated soonish to support real args and cutlists soon |
| [01:55:14] | SlicerDicer: | how is the quality when watched on a TV? |
| [01:55:17] | SlicerDicer: | through the ipod |
| [01:55:23] | kormoc: | No idea |
| [01:55:31] | SlicerDicer: | heh |
| [01:55:36] | kormoc: | but should be fairly close to the max the ipod can play back |
| [01:55:46] | kormoc: | although, I'm sure some tweaking can be done |
| [01:55:53] | SlicerDicer: | kormoc: I use mine for playing back on tvs not having a frontend :) |
| [01:56:31] | kormoc: | if you know of better encoding options/faster options, let me know and I'll update the export script |
| [01:56:55] | SlicerDicer: | kormoc: I will play with it |
| [01:57:08] | SlicerDicer: | I havent quite got it perfected yet |
| [01:57:41] | kormoc: | but yeah, stream.pl works nicely with the ipod so it supports 206 – partial content correctly as well as 304 not modified |
| [01:58:33] | SlicerDicer: | cool kormoc |
| [01:58:57] | SlicerDicer: | kormoc: does the ipod touch have vpn capability? |
| [01:59:00] | SlicerDicer: | like the iPhone? |
| [01:59:04] | kormoc: | It does |
| [01:59:13] | SlicerDicer: | do you know of any VPN shit I can use with it? |
| [01:59:26] | SlicerDicer: | cause I bashed my head into a wall trying to figure it out :/ |
| [01:59:29] | kormoc: | not offhand |
| [01:59:35] | kormoc: | I know openvpn won't work |
| [01:59:38] | SlicerDicer: | yeah |
| [02:01:10] | Solaris444: | incidentally, anyone know why the config.xml file would be empty in my /home/mythtv/.mythtv directory? |
| [02:03:42] | Gumby: | I am in need to setup mythtv for debugging as it segfaults (I think during recordings). Do I just add --compile-type=debug to my ./configure as well as any other config opts I normally compile with? |
| [02:04:05] | iamlindoro__: | yes |

| [02:09:57] | iamlindoro__: | no |
| [02:10:09] | iamlindoro__: | mysql.txt is deprecated. config.xml is the correct file. |
| [02:10:40] | Solaris444: | ok. why is mine empty? shouldn't it be automatically generated? |
| [02:11:03] | iamlindoro__: | Yes. It should. As to why yours is empty, I have no idea. |
| [02:12:06] | Solaris444: | hmm, so how should i generate it? |
| [02:12:18] | Solaris444: | run the mythtv setup program? |
| [02:12:25] | iamlindoro__: | no. |
| [02:12:35] | Solaris444: | ok. is there a command to generate the file? |
| [02:12:37] | Anduin: | Solaris444: mythfrontend -p |

| [02:39:25] | high-rez: | Knoppmythdora has the VDPAU support right? :) |
| [02:39:45] | iamlindoro__: | Knoppmythbuntdora supports VDPAU2 |
| [02:39:58] | high-rez: | Fantastic. I'll thank chutt for that. |

| [02:54:50] | iamlindoro__: | (and I needn't mention you have to trade something for those deep discounts) |

| [03:11:28] | iamlindoro__: | ahhh, I gotcha |
| [03:15:40] | iamlindoro__: | I wish Slysoft would get Firefly broken, I want those in Mythvideo |
| [03:18:00] | iamlindoro__: | jpabq, You have movies with DTS tracks, right? |
| [03:18:28] | iamlindoro__: | AFAICT since the ffmpeg sync rendering DCA -> analog out is broken |

| [03:32:58] | jpabq: | Hmmm, why is mythbackend consuming a core? |
| [03:32:58] | iamlindoro__: | Yeah, and the HDMI 1.3 gets you BTB and WTW and PCM 7.1 once you buy coresponding equipment |
| [03:33:52] | jpabq: | I would like to get a B&K ref 70, once they get all the bugs worked out of it. Expensive though. Marantz seems to have some affordable "good" equipment these days. |
| [03:34:40] | iamlindoro__: | I looked at stuff that accepts 7.1 via HDMI and about choked. Analog is fine for me (and even that isn't rigged up right now, I'd need to hang two more speakers from the ceiling.) |

| [03:36:53] | jpabq: | I actually spent quite a bit of time this weekend researching HT receivers. It seems Marantz sr6003 is one of the best ~$1000 receivers you can buy right now. I have never owned any Marantz equipment in the past. |
| [03:37:58] | iamlindoro__: | I have a Sony, it does the job for me-- I like 5.1 but I'm far more wowed by visual capabilities than audio ones |
| [03:38:53] | jpabq: | I have a 7 speaker setup now. My speakers are fine. Actually my preamp is fine — it just lacks the hdmi. |
| [03:41:16] | Lexridge: | jpabq: just curious, besides the audio, can you really tell a huge diff between component and hdmi as far as video quality? |
| [03:41:48] | TomasuAway is now known as TomasuDlrrp | |
| [03:41:59] | jpabq: | huge? No. |
| [03:42:11] | iamlindoro__: | The visible difference is negligible (and I am certain you could fool most people who thought they knew better) |
| [03:42:38] | iamlindoro__: | It's visible when you have an extra re-encode with something like the HD-PVR, but comparing straight outputs from the cable box, most perceived differences are imagined. |
| [03:42:45] | Lexridge: | I would think it would be negligible, but since I have no HDMI equipment I've never been able to compare. |
| [03:43:01] | jpabq: | HDMI is typically a little bit sharper. But the improvement is not worth spending a lot of money on. |
| [03:43:11] | jpabq: | Main reason I want HDMI is for the 8 channels of audio. |
| [03:43:28] | Lexridge: | right |
| [03:43:48] | iamlindoro__: | and even those are doable pretty much just as well via analog |

| [03:44:24] | Lexridge: | I've been told that blue-ray audio is uncompressed. What format is it considered? |
| [03:44:41] | iamlindoro__: | some is, but not all or most by any stretch. It's PCM. |
| [03:44:50] | Lexridge: | oh, okay |
| [03:44:58] | Lexridge: | at 24 bits I would assume |
| [03:45:16] | jpabq: | Often, yes. |
| [03:45:19] | iamlindoro__: | Sometimes 24, sometimes less |
| [03:45:31] | Lexridge: | and dolby digital 5.1 is what 18–20 bit? |
| [03:45:42] | jpabq: | At the rate it is going, it is going to take it 30–40 minutes to rip Die Hard 3. |
| [03:45:52] | jpabq: | Dolby Digital is 16bit. |
| [03:46:08] | Lexridge: | oh, so it must be DTS that is 18 or 20 bit then? |
| [03:46:27] | iamlindoro__: | DD and DTS are both 18 bit. |
| [03:46:36] | iamlindoro__: | but both can do 24 bit |
| [03:46:47] | jpabq: | I have never seen DD that high. |
| [03:47:01] | iamlindoro__: | they're capable of 24, just never used. |
| [03:47:43] | Lexridge: | Most older DD/DTS A/V receivers probably cannot deal with anything greated than 18 bit then? |
| [03:47:47] | iamlindoro__: | DTS-HD is being used a lot in Blu-ray, even though it's not the best of the HD options at all, but Sony and Disney seem to have thrown their weight behind it |
| [03:48:33] | jpabq: | Every disney blu-ray I have seen has been PCM 5.1. Like the National Treasure movies. Maybe their animations are different. |

| [03:48:59] | jpabq: | The Die Hard blu-ray's have DTS-HD MA, which is as good as it gets! |
| [03:49:32] | jpabq: | That is not to say that the audio on the older Die Hard movies is that great. But, they put it on the disk in a loss-less format, which is good. |
| [03:50:08] | iamlindoro__: | Right, it's in theory a bit-for-bit copy of the studio master |
| [03:50:13] | Lexridge: | I'm way behind the times as far as anything better than 5.1, and probably will be until I replace my JVC DD/DTS receiver |
| [03:50:38] | jpabq: | You have a JVC product that actually works? Wow! |
| [03:51:25] | jpabq: | I am probably just unlucky, but every JVC product I have ever owned has failed on me. I won't buy them anymore. |
| [03:51:38] | Lexridge: | It's been the best receiver I've ever owned. I have had sony, pioneer, technics. Plus the JVC had a now expired 3 year warranty. All the others died a month or two after warranty. :( |
| [03:52:18] | jpabq: | Good luck |
| [03:52:27] | Lexridge: | It's seven years old now |
| [03:52:54] | Lexridge: | It's the first and only JVC product I have ever owned. I was like you....not a fan. |
| [03:53:13] | Lexridge: | until now that is |
| [03:53:32] | jpabq: | Hey, they must work well for some people or they would not be in business anymore. |
| [03:54:23] | Lexridge: | True. My cousin had one, and talked it up so hard I thought I would try one. I got a fairly high end model. Been a satisfied customer, but I was able to get a great deal on it. |
| [03:55:12] | Lexridge: | Plus, at the time, all my equipment was either component or SVHS. It supported both with 6 i/os |
| [03:55:18] | jpabq: | Hmmmm. I am running low on disk space. |
| [03:55:58] | iamlindoro__: | Not me ;) |
| [03:56:02] | jpabq: | I remember I used to have 3 SVHS decks. Back before I discovered DVRs. Good times. |
| [03:56:06] | Lexridge: | I have downsized comsiderably since then however ;) Dumbed the VCR, dumbed the laser disc player....etc. Now, one DVD and sat rx. |
| [03:56:25] | Lexridge: | and mythtv of course |
| [03:57:34] | Lexridge: | Unforch, I had many many hours dumping all my S-VHS tapes and LaserDiscs to my computer. I literally threw out five 50 gallon garbage bags of S-VHS tapes! |
| [03:58:33] | Lexridge: | I guess that is 250 gallons of S-VHS lol holy crap!!! |
| [04:00:51] | jpabq: | Multiple .m2ts files. I am guessing one is the movie and the reset are special features? |
| [04:02:07] | Lexridge: | jpabq: do blue-ray discs still use the 2GB per (.vob) rule? |
| [04:02:21] | iamlindoro__: | jpabq, yes |
| [04:02:35] | iamlindoro__: | Lexridge, no |
| [04:02:38] | jpabq: | Lexridge, nope. A single file is 38GB |
| [04:02:40] | iamlindoro__: | jpabq, Largest is the feature |
| [04:02:48] | Lexridge: | great! |
| [04:03:11] | iamlindoro__: | HD-DVD breaks them up at the layer marker, usually 7–11 GB, but the files can be cat'ed together |
| [04:03:25] | iamlindoro__: | usually called PEVOB_1 and PEVOB_2 or FEATURE_1 and FEATURE_2 |
| [04:04:15] | Lexridge: | interesting |
| [04:04:38] | Lexridge: | perhaps a blue-ray is in my future. Do I want a computer drive, or a stand-alone? |
| [04:04:50] | iamlindoro__: | I don't know, which do you want? |
| [04:05:11] | iamlindoro__: | If you don't intend to even try to use them with your computer, get a standalone. IF you do, the opposite. |
| [04:05:22] | jpabq: | Lexridge, problem with computer drive, is not linux software than understand the menus and such. |
| [04:05:33] | jpabq: | I must be tired. |
| [04:05:42] | Lexridge: | besides the obvious ability to write with a pc drive, what would be other advantages/disadvantages? |
| [04:05:57] | Lexridge: | oh, so mplayer or VLC do not yet work with blu-ray? |
| [04:05:59] | jpabq: | problem with computer drives, is the lack of linux software that understands the menus and such. |
| [04:06:13] | jpabq: | You can play the raw movie.... |
| [04:06:16] | iamlindoro__: | neither mplayer nor VLC will play bluray menus. |
| [04:06:23] | iamlindoro__: | They will very POORLY play the movie |
| [04:06:29] | iamlindoro__: | Myth is by far the best player for the movies |
| [04:06:36] | iamlindoro__: | by a long ass shot |
| [04:06:42] | jpabq: | iamlindoro, will myth let you choose the audio track? |
| [04:06:46] | iamlindoro__: | but I'm only speaking of trunk, not of .21 |
| [04:06:48] | Lexridge: | Don't really care about menus. I always delete them anyway. |
| [04:06:58] | Lexridge: | so linux support is pretty limited. bummer |
| [04:07:06] | iamlindoro__: | jpabq, yes, and Myth is the best for precisely that reason-- no arcane command line specifying codecs, demuxes, and tracks. |
| [04:07:14] | jpabq: | 45 minutes do rip. |
| [04:07:19] | iamlindoro__: | just play, pull up the menu and change audio if necessary, done. |
| [04:07:25] | jpabq: | to rip |
| [04:08:12] | Lexridge: | okay, with a stand-alone player, is my 7 y/o JVC gonna be able to decode the audio? |
| [04:08:20] | jpabq: | mythbackend is still consuming a core. When the current recording ends, I will have to attach to it and find out why. |
| [04:08:27] | iamlindoro__: | Lexridge, No. you'll need analog outs for the HD formats. |
| [04:08:48] | iamlindoro__: | If the disk has AC3, it'll do that, but very very few do now. |
| [04:09:04] | jpabq: | Lexridge, does you JVC have 5.1 or 7.1 analog inputs? If so, that would be the way to go. You just need to get one of the better blu-ray players which will do the decoding for you. |
| [04:09:20] | Lexridge: | jpabq: it has 5.1 analog inputs. |
| [04:09:27] | iamlindoro__: | jpabq, Keep in mind, btw, when you play a blu-ray disk, that Myth (and ffmpeg) identify E-AC3 as AC3 as they're both part of the ffac3 codec |
| [04:09:42] | jpabq: | Okay. |
| [04:09:45] | iamlindoro__: | so when you swap to what Myth calls an AC3 track it's actually probably an E-AC3 one |
| [04:10:05] | iamlindoro__: | Easy way to tell is when the menu calls it a 5.1 channel and when you switch, the OSD suddenly calls it 2 channel |
| [04:10:13] | iamlindoro__: | that's E-AC3 |

| [04:12:57] | Lexridge: | sweet, but still a bit pricey. |
| [04:13:26] | jpabq: | Yeah, but it will decode EVERY possible blu-ray audio format for you. |
| [04:13:26] | Lexridge: | especially since I would also have to replace my 1080i tv with a 1080p one ;) |
| [04:13:37] | jpabq: | Of course! |

| [04:16:53] | jpabq: | Terminator? |
| [04:17:11] | iamlindoro__: | Yep |
| [04:17:51] | iamlindoro__: | And all I get for this crap is channels like "Fox News HD" |
| [04:17:52] | jpabq: | I am glad I can get the major channels via an antenna. Don't have that problem. |
| [04:18:30] | jpabq: | Well you need balanced news in HD right? Fox for the far right, and CNN for the far left. |
| [04:18:33] | Lexridge: | soon for me as well. However, ABC is the secondary for the NBC's HD channel :( |
| [04:18:52] | Lexridge: | that means ABC will never be HD :( |
| [04:19:02] | iamlindoro__: | jpabq, There are at least a few worth getting this time |
| [04:19:11] | iamlindoro__: | Speed HD and a couple others |

| [04:29:06] | lwizardl: | anyone build a mythtv box using a server rack case? |
| [04:29:20] | Lexridge: | lwizardl: I have one in a server rack case. |
| [04:29:26] | whoever: | Does anyone know why when changing channles the channele that the card is currently tuned to will pause, redraw itself then change to the selectdd channel? |
| [04:29:45] | Lexridge: | whoever: that is normal |
| [04:30:08] | GreyFoxx: | LiveTV isn't actually live |
| [04:30:36] | wagnerrp: | mythtv mandates a 2 second lag behind the actual broadcast |
| [04:30:50] | wagnerrp: | beyond that, tuner cards require time to tune, digital tuners more so |
| [04:30:54] | whoever: | Lexridge: that is? first time i hmve seem that, is there a reason why this happens ( for the current channle to redraw itself then change to the selected channel? |
| [04:31:09] | wagnerrp: | and there is some amount of hardware buffer involved as well |
| [04:31:22] | Lexridge: | see wagnerrp's post from above. |
| [04:31:35] | lwizardl: | Lexridge, would you mind answering a few things about them (rack cases) |
| [04:31:49] | Lexridge: | lwizardl: If I can |
| [04:31:49] | whoever: | can the lag be degressed ? |
| [04:32:01] | wagnerrp: | all together, theres 4–5 seconds of pause when changing channels, and theres not much you can do about it |
| [04:32:16] | GreyFoxx: | The channel change delay is system dependant |
| [04:32:18] | whoever: | ok thanks |
| [04:32:28] | GreyFoxx: | mine are 1 second on average |
| [04:32:41] | Lexridge: | wagnerrp: I have about 2.5 seconds on average |
| [04:33:01] | GreyFoxx: | but my firewire STB is 2–3 because of the delay to change the channel on the STB |
| [04:33:06] | whoever: | lwizardl: a rack case is the same as building on any other box |
| [04:33:18] | wagnerrp: | my analog tuners are a bit over 2, the digital are just under 4 |
| [04:33:56] | Lexridge: | lwizardl: are you planning on mounting this case in a 19" rack? |
| [04:34:08] | lwizardl: | Lexridge, ok the system I'm looking to put together using a server rack case. |
| [04:34:32] | lwizardl: | Lexridge, small rack yes, not my 6ft rack |
| [04:35:05] | Lexridge: | lwizardl: Be sure to spend the extra $30-$35 on the rack rails. Most cases do NOT come with them. |
| [04:35:06] | whoever: | im using the along tuner on the 1600 and from "watch tv" 'till i get a statios is about 2 seconds to change channels about 5 seconds |
| [04:35:24] | lwizardl: | Lexridge, yeah I read that online |
| [04:35:27] | Lexridge: | lwizardl: But you will be glad you have them |
| [04:35:45] | wagnerrp: | 'watch tv' goes to the already tuned channel |
| [04:35:50] | whoever: | correction the first number should be 20 not 2 |
| [04:36:04] | wagnerrp: | oh... well 20s is a problem |
| [04:36:19] | lwizardl: | Lexridge, one of my questions is are their different types of server motherboards? like how desktop mobos come in ATX, Mini-ATX, etc |
| [04:36:33] | whoever: | wagnerrp: yes but when i cick whatch tv , the screen goes blank for abaut 0 seconds then i get the last tuned chanel |
| [04:36:46] | whoever: | 20 seconds & |
| [04:36:50] | Lexridge: | lwizardl: right, and if you go with E-ATX, you must have a case at least 28" deep |
| [04:36:54] | wagnerrp: | lwizardl: server boards are typically E-ATX |
| [04:37:38] | whoever: | wagnerrp: what chan i do about the 20 seconds |
| [04:38:40] | wagnerrp: | no idea |
| [04:38:50] | Lexridge: | lwizardl: If you go with E-ATX, here is a great case. I have three of them: http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/Searc . . . ku=I202-1009 |
| [04:38:53] | lwizardl: | Lexridge, ok becuase all i know is that its a 4U case and looks similar to this http://images.tigerdirect.com/skuimages/large/I202-1081-main.jpg |
| [04:39:21] | lwizardl: | I think the ones I'm looking at are IBM cases |
| [04:39:36] | Lexridge: | lwizardl: if you are using standard ATX, that case should work. It's built by iUSA. |
| [04:39:58] | Lexridge: | It probably does not include a P/S. Check that too. |
| [04:40:09] | whoever: | wagnerrp: as soon as i changed my geometry from full to 700x500 from watch to to last tuned chanel is about 6s |
| [04:42:03] | Lexridge: | lwizardl: the link you posted is indeed an iUSA case, and very good quality. They also sell redundand P/S that fit into the standard ATX P/S slot. |
| [04:42:27] | wagnerrp: | chances are you have no use for a redundant PSU |
| [04:42:41] | Lexridge: | true |

| [04:48:18] | lwizardl: | I might have 3 of them Wednesday |
| [04:48:34] | jpabq: | iamlindoro__ you have too many _ |
| [04:49:11] | Lexridge: | lwizardl: Well, once you get the cases, then you can determine the MB you need for them. |
| [04:49:15] | lwizardl: | Lexridge, but The stats of the machines I'm sure would not handle displaying HD videos like 1080p |
| [04:49:36] | lwizardl: | Lexridge, yeah thats why i was asking if the make different styles for the server cases |
| [04:49:43] | Lexridge: | lwizardl: Keep the cases, throw out the guts, and start over. |
| [04:50:02] | Lexridge: | lwizardl: what are the specs of the machines? |
| [04:50:50] | wagnerrp: | what is the source of these '1080p' videos? |
| [04:50:57] | Lexridge: | lwizardl: Most any ATX MB will probably fit. Just make sure the cases aren't older AT style stuff. If so, you don't want them as they are useless. |
| [04:51:16] | lwizardl: | Lexridge, I'm not 100% sure on it but I think he said they was dual PIII 750's with 512MB ram, and 4x30GB SCSI in a raid setup |
| [04:51:54] | d0nets is now known as d0netsFN | |
| [04:51:55] | wagnerrp: | not a chance that would do anything 1080p |
| [04:52:01] | lwizardl: | wagnerrp, mainly 720p, 1080p trailers downloaded from Xbox Live (usually 4–5mins and 900mb) |
| [04:52:09] | wagnerrp: | the single chip wont manage mpeg2 |
| [04:52:16] | wagnerrp: | and the pair of chips wont manage h.264 |
| [04:52:23] | lwizardl: | and they are WMV files |
| [04:52:37] | Gumby: | I've just compiled mythtv with debugging options and now I am wondering how to use it with gdb do I just do gdm mythbackend (along with the options I want for gdb) or do I add things like the pidfile and logfile options for mythtv also? |
| [04:53:12] | Lexridge: | lwizardl: You will most certainly need new "guts" in these cases. |
| [04:54:03] | Lexridge: | lwizardl: You will need at least a fast dual core for 1080p, and probably a quad core for smooth operation. |

| [04:54:20] | wagnerrp: | lexridge: that depends on the source |
| [04:54:46] | lwizardl: | Lexridge, yeah I planned on getting new stuff for inside, but I wanted to find out some things before I get the machines |
| [04:55:05] | wagnerrp: | any decent modern processor can handle 1080p mpeg2 without much issue |
| [04:55:28] | wagnerrp: | the h264 that apple puts out are pretty meek as well |
| [04:55:33] | Lexridge: | true, mpeg2 is easier than h264 |
| [04:55:39] | wagnerrp: | low reference count, cavlc entropy coding |
| [04:56:38] | lwizardl: | ok so |
| [04:56:39] | wagnerrp: | and relatively low bitrate to top it off |
| [04:57:27] | Lexridge: | note that a "decent modern processor" should be a dual core. |
| [04:58:04] | Hoxzer (Hoxzer!n=dsadsad@dsl-hkigw7-fe1df900-39.dhcp.inet.fi) has joined #mythtv-users | |
| [04:58:06] | Lexridge: | but is there anything else available these days? |
| [04:58:14] | lwizardl: | what would you think I would need to playback 1080p WMV or other files, cpu/ram wise |
| [04:58:31] | knight\zzz (knight\zzz!n=knightra@c-76-104-20-98.hsd1.va.comcast.net) has quit (Read error: 60 (Operation timed out)) | |
| [04:58:34] | wagnerrp: | depends on what the wmv is |
| [04:58:37] | lwizardl: | say 3ghz dual core? |
| [04:58:46] | Gumby: | if I am using gdb to help debug and I start mythbackend with it and it shows a lot of "(no debugging symbols found)" does this mean I havnt compiled mythtv correctly for debuggging? |
| [04:59:05] | wagnerrp: | older wmv was asp based. newer wmv is vc-1, which is closer to h264 in cpu requirements |
| [04:59:14] | lwizardl: | I don't have them handy I gotta grab the .xex package and extract the wmv file from it |
| [04:59:52] | lwizardl: | I think they are VC-1 becuase I remember reading someone converting a few of them into a HD-DVD compatible disc |
| [04:59:52] | Lexridge: | I can play back 1080p with my dual core at 14Mb/s h264 with Mplayer, but VLC cannot play anything 1080p on this X2 4200 CPU. |
| [05:02:23] | Lexridge: | take wagnerrp's advice on this, as I am not qualified on this subject. I can only tell you what has worked for me. |
| [05:03:21] | lwizardl: | wagnerrp, ok so what would you look at for hardware wise to play back h264 (just incase) |
| [05:04:07] | zlyzyr (zlyzyr!n=mike@cpe-76-180-122-198.buffalo.res.rr.com) has quit (Remote closed the connection) | |
| [05:08:33] | Lexridge: | lwizardl: if you are depending on this system to create sales, then don't skimp. Go with a Xeon Quad Core with 3GB RAM. You can write it off as a business expense anyway, right? |
| [05:08:45] | lwizardl: | becuase I would be looking for like a 3.0GHz dual core or faster, I would think atleast 2GB ram would be enough, and a 1TB HDD would provide enouh space for my need |
| [05:09:08] | Lexridge: | Then, you will want a killer GFX card with HDMI output, and make sure it's all supported by linux. |
| [05:09:42] | lwizardl: | Lexridge, I'm just going to use it as a constant source of random videos so I don't have to keep changing discs during the day |
| [05:10:25] | Lexridge: | lwizardl: Get the fastest dual core you can afford then. That *should* cover it. |
| [05:11:09] | Lexridge: | lwizardl: Although a 2.0Ghz quad core might be cheaper than the fastest dual core, and get the job done the same. |
| [05:11:16] | lwizardl: | Lexridge, I was looking to have Component video out so a NVidia Graphics card, But I also need to find a way to split that display source out onto 6 Displays (x5 19" displays, and x1 46" display) |
| [05:11:37] | lwizardl: | Lexridge, and yeah It would be a business write off |
| [05:11:51] | Lexridge: | lwizardl: In that case you will need a component distribution amp. |
| [05:11:52] | jblack: | hmmmm. If he needs the best computer available today, then how could myth have done the same job two years ago? |
| [05:12:15] | Lexridge: | jblack. because he is wanting to do 1080p resolution |
| [05:12:31] | jblack: | The same question remains. |
| [05:13:13] | Lexridge: | jblack: you simply cannot do 1080p with old single core hardware. |
| [05:13:17] | lwizardl: | 2 years ago I don't think you could do 1080p only 1080i |
| [05:13:28] | Lexridge: | exactly! |
| [05:13:32] | symptom (symptom!n=symptom@ip72-197-9-177.sd.sd.cox.net) has quit ("Ex-Chat") | |
| [05:14:02] | lwizardl: | and handling 1080i vs 1080p changes the required hardware |
| [05:14:05] | Lexridge: | 1080p would be like doing 2160i |
| [05:14:33] | lwizardl: | I just understand this much from my research building my current mythtv box |
| [05:15:06] | lwizardl: | but I have to get that MOBO replaced from MSI I think it has a dry soder point |
| [05:15:21] | Lexridge: | you mean a cold solder joint |
| [05:15:34] | lwizardl: | yeah thanks for the correction |
| [05:15:35] | jblack: | I think there's a habit of sparing no expense, when someone else's wallet is involved. |
| [05:16:14] | Lexridge: | jblack: think what you will. I'm just giving suggestions. If you know better, please go on and speak your mind. |
| [05:16:20] | lwizardl: | if the computer gets bumped or moved it shuts off. and has killed now 3 HDDs and 2 dvd drives |
| [05:16:34] | Lexridge: | OUCH!!!! |
| [05:17:32] | lwizardl: | Lexridge, luckily i removed the 400gb sata and DVD_+RW drives and when back to old hardware. so I only lost a 10Gb, 20GB, and 40GB drives, and 2 DVD readers |
| [05:17:51] | Lexridge: | ah, smallish stuff. |
| [05:18:10] | lwizardl: | yeah just extra hardware i had laying around |
| [05:19:32] | lwizardl: | what would be the most supported card for recording OTA feeds? something internal |
| [05:19:32] | Lexridge: | lwizardl: basically, all I can tell you is buy the best/fastest you can afford....and you WILL need component D/As to distribute the signal to multiple monitors. Those will not be cheap. |
| [05:20:06] | lwizardl: | D/A = Distribution Amps ? |
| [05:20:24] | Lexridge: | lwizardl: There are HDMI DA's available now, but not sure if that is what you want...yes, D/A = distrubution amps. |
| [05:21:45] | Lexridge: | you will also need audio D/As if you go the component route. |
| [05:22:01] | lwizardl: | Lexridge, nah I don't want to go HDMI route. becuase I plan to use coaxial cables with F-connector -> RCA adapters and use that to feed the signals since this will allow me to have longer runs without much loss |
| [05:22:37] | Lexridge: | that should work...except for the audio. |
| [05:22:48] | lwizardl: | Lexridge, I plan to just run the audio into the sound system most likely just a surround sound system so I'll only need to feed one source for that |
| [05:23:56] | Lexridge: | BlackMagic Designs make some Mini Converters that pretty much convert anything to anything else, but they are not cheap: http://decklink.com/products/miniconverters/: |
| [05:24:27] | lwizardl: | But I will need to feed each video display the same feed. and then just the surround sound the audio cables. |
| [05:25:10] | lwizardl: | i'll look into these also more options are always nice to look into |
| [05:25:52] | Lexridge: | Depending on the length of run, SDI would be your best choice for long ones. You would need one HDMI to SDI, then and SDI D/A. That gets you 300' per run, then SDI to HDMI one each end. |
| [05:26:30] | Lexridge: | damn, I have problems typing one and on...DOH!!! |
| [05:27:00] | lwizardl: | ok because I did some research locally and all the big box shops all do the same thing. like BestBuy for example. |
| [05:27:16] | Lexridge: | they are doing SDI to HDMI? |
| [05:27:30] | lwizardl: | They have one source then that feeds into a distribution block using coaxial. |
| [05:27:43] | lwizardl: | then that feeds into each display |
| [05:28:36] | Lexridge: | okay, depending on the quality of coax used, you can probably do it cheaper that way. Be sure to use double shielded RG59..foil that is. |
| [05:28:59] | lwizardl: | I was looking at RG6 |
| [05:29:15] | Lexridge: | rg6 is even better |
| [05:30:13] | Lexridge: | you will need to make sure you get the proper connectors, and the right crimping tools. Clark Cable is a good source. |
| [05:30:19] | lwizardl: | yeah locally I can get bulk 1000ft for $95 but then I'll need end connectors, etc |
| [05:30:57] | Lexridge: | http://www.clarkwire.com/ |
| [05:31:16] | lwizardl: | Lexridge, thanks again for all the great information. You have been a great help |
| [05:31:22] | Lexridge: | I buy all my cable needs from these people. Ask for Andy |
| [05:31:57] | Lexridge: | np man |
| [05:32:33] | Lexridge: | the connectors will probably run you about $2 per, which isn't bad really. They are rated at 3Gb |
| [05:32:49] | Lexridge: | go with BNC/RCA instead of RF to RCA however. |
| [05:33:15] | Lexridge: | much cleaner fit. :) |
| [05:33:32] | lwizardl: | ok I use them for my security cameras |
| [05:33:43] | Lexridge: | cool |
| [05:34:04] | lwizardl: | I've got a 16 camera network dvr (sprite) |
| [05:34:35] | lwizardl: | thats only going to be used inside the shop in a few |
| [05:34:53] | Lexridge: | nice. I've been thinking about getting into security systems with my computer shop (side business). Not moved on it yet. |
| [05:35:33] | Lexridge: | Home Automation was my original goal, but I cannot get my partner interested in it yet. :( |
| [05:36:24] | lwizardl: | yeah I couldn't pass on it. I got the sprite 320GB (2x 160GB) with 3 Cameras for $50 |
| [05:36:39] | Lexridge: | nice deal! |
| [05:36:45] | lwizardl: | so now I just need to get the other 13 cameras |
| [05:36:55] | Lexridge: | Does anyone remember EZHome for the Amiga in the early 90s? that was mine :) |
| [05:37:33] | lwizardl: | yeah I got it from another business that was liquadated and I was the only person that knew what it was |
| [05:37:47] | Lexridge: | that happens from time to time.. Lucky you |
| [05:37:56] | lwizardl: | yeah thanks |
| [05:38:28] | Lexridge: | Kinda like the Star Trek TNG press kit I happened on. Got it for free and sold it for $2500. Gotta love that :) |
| [05:38:54] | lwizardl: | dang thats really nice |
| [05:39:08] | Lexridge: | I laughed all the way to the bank :) |
| [05:39:23] | lwizardl: | I bet |
| [05:39:50] | Lexridge: | now, If I could only sell the remaining 5 I would really laugh all the way to the bank :) |
| [05:40:09] | Lexridge: | not the same kits though....less impressive. |
| [05:40:50] | Lexridge: | well good luch lwizardl with your project. Please let us know what you decide to do. |
| [05:40:56] | kormoc: | I bid $0.01! |
| [05:41:00] | Lexridge: | luch=luck lol |
| [05:41:06] | Lexridge: | SOLD!!!! |
| [05:41:09] | lwizardl: | does the server boards have a marking of what they are? like ATX boards do |
| [05:41:12] | kormoc: | wooties! |
| [05:41:35] | kormoc: | typically a server board is a atx board... |
| [05:41:38] | Lexridge: | yea, they will be clearly advertised as E-ATX, but you don't really need that calibar of MB. |
| [05:41:49] | wagnerrp: | if theyre a dual processor board, you need room for eatx |
| [05:42:19] | kormoc: | sure, but my point is a server board is just a reliable mobo, nothng really technical |
| [05:42:28] | wagnerrp: | i have an e-atx board fit in a standard atx case |
| [05:42:37] | wagnerrp: | but i had to remove the drive cages to do so |
| [05:43:17] | Lexridge: | yea, wagnerrp: it will fit, but the drive bays must go |
| [05:43:39] | Lexridge: | don't go this route unless using external storage |
| [05:43:54] | wagnerrp: | i ran a generic web server on it for years |
| [05:43:59] | lwizardl: | yeah I'm not going to do that. I want to use the full case |
| [05:44:07] | wagnerrp: | no bulk storage, just one drive |
| [05:44:20] | wagnerrp: | but it was a dual 1GHz P3 Xeon |
| [05:44:24] | wagnerrp: | nice machine |
| [05:44:42] | Lexridge: | yea, that would be a great web server |
| [05:45:23] | wagnerrp: | used it up until the ATA controller and all my spare scsi drives died |
| [05:45:32] | wagnerrp: | about a year ago |
| [05:46:26] | Lexridge: | lwizardl: with that said, you should not need a multi-cpu MB. A single dual/quad cpu should do what you want to do...everybody agree? |
| [05:47:29] | wagnerrp: | but wheres the fun in that? |
| [05:47:44] | Lexridge: | lol |
| [05:47:57] | wagnerrp: | personally, im not a fan of the current block of quad core intels |
| [05:48:03] | lwizardl: | but what about if I later wanted it to recording a show from an OTA antenna source while also watching it. |
| [05:48:16] | lwizardl: | I've always Liked AMD processors |
| [05:48:23] | wagnerrp: | the newer chips may be different |
| [05:48:33] | wagnerrp: | but last time we did a bulk purchase at work |
| [05:48:36] | Lexridge: | Do not buy a MB using the Intel SATA RAID controller. I have had a plethora of problems with this over multiple servers. |
| [05:48:44] | lwizardl: | I've only owned 2 Intel processors and both died within 2 years |
| [05:49:17] | wagnerrp: | we ended up going with dual cores, since the limited FSB bandwidth resulted in the quad cores being about 20–30% faster than equivalently clocked dual cores |
| [05:52:41] | wagnerrp: | quickpath on the nehalem chips should fix that issue |

| [10:37:55] | NineTeen67Comet: | I am running two MythTV boxes as front ends and one Debian box running the MySQL database and another box with the nfs shared movies .. Do I need a MySQL database for each computer? Or will one mythtv (name of db) database work for all machiens? |
| [10:38:38] | clever: | all front(and back)ends must have the same database |
| [10:39:46] | NineTeen67Comet: | Awesome good then .. they've both been working, but I wasn't sure if they'd need to update something according to each'es needs .. |
| [10:39:47] | NineTeen67Comet: | thank you .. |
| [10:41:00] | NineTeen67Comet: | Secondly, I've been on the look out for a remote that will work with my comptuers. I don't really need TVin or Decoder (I'm an American in Japan on a Military base) .. but I would like to use a Remote with my computers .. Suggestions? |
| [10:41:54] | clever: | there are serial and usb based receivers |
| [10:42:47] | NineTeen67Comet: | USB would be best .. I've got a PVR 150 (Hauppauge) but the remote doesn't work (it was on the return rack) .. I'll check for USB IR Receivers .. |
| [10:43:26] | NineTeen67Comet: | Amazon has this pretty cheap .. If I hooked up the cable tv it'd at least be able to go through the channels wouldn't it? |
| [10:43:29] | NineTeen67Comet: | http://www.amazon.com/Hauppauge-1178-WinTV-HV . . . 2&sr=1-7 |
| [10:44:17] | clever: | i think the HVR is for encoding hidef tv(component) back into digital |
| [10:45:45] | NineTeen67Comet: | I'm reading the reviews on amazon about linux, and so far doesn't look supported .. and I can't find any PVR 250s or 500s .. Those two I hear about the most .. |
| [10:45:53] | clever: | http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/Hauppauge_HVR-1600 |
| [10:46:29] | clever: | ahhh atsc/ntsc! |
| [10:47:03] | NineTeen67Comet: | yes, I'm ntsc |
| [10:47:09] | clever: | from what that page says, the card will work under linux |
| [10:47:11] | DGnome: | NineTeen67Comet: the Satelco USB-remote works, as do all of the other samsung irda-based remotes.. |
| [10:47:23] | clever: | i was getting the HVR confused with a different card |
| [10:47:38] | NineTeen67Comet: | clever: aha .. unkay .. |
| [10:47:46] | NineTeen67Comet: | DGnome: I'm googling that now .. thanks much .. |
| [10:47:53] | DGnome: | NineTeen67Comet: the satelco remote costs about 12 euros |
| [10:47:59] | NineTeen67Comet: | If I can get a tv card that's remote will play nice that'd be a bonus anyhow though .. |
| [10:48:17] | NineTeen67Comet: | DGnome: so bout $24 .. that's not bad .. |
| [10:49:15] | DGnome: | NineTeen67Comet: 16USD according to google :) |
| [10:50:03] | NineTeen67Comet: | My exchange rates always sucked .. lol |

| [20:30:32] | android60_: | im trying to get my fwd account working with mythtv but i never receive the test call. do i need certain ports forwarded to the comp? |
| [20:31:30] | kormoc: | what's a fwd account? |
| [20:31:39] | android60_: | free world dial up |
| [20:31:45] | android60_: | im trying to get voip phone working |
| [20:32:28] | kormoc: | well, given they're likely attempting to connect to you when they call, forwarded ports are likely important. Might want to ask them what ports they use |
| [20:32:53] | iamlindoro_: | zbyszek: Have you followed this? http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/Hauppauge_WinTV-PVR-USB2 |

| [20:33:51] | zbyszek: | iamlindoro_ i tried, but it says, that latest kernel have built in drivers |
| [20:33:52] | android60_: | wel ii have every port on their website listed forwarded to it but i didnt know if mythtv need something extra or what |
| [20:33:54] | J-e-f-f-A|work: | android60_: You do need to forward a range of ports – IIRC, it's documented on the FWD site which ports... |
| [20:33:59] | zbyszek: | on my other computer it worked out of the box |
| [20:34:07] | kormoc: | so use the other computer? |

| [21:12:48] | Dagmar: | Short answer: You can set up the SD acccount but you should just wait until the tuner card comes in to setup MythTV. |

| [21:25:27] | justinh_: | so my new sata controller won't fit.. and the onboard won't work |
| [21:25:57] | justinh_: | this is beyond the fscking pale |

| [21:30:31] | J-e-f-f-A|work: | justinh_: (IE: the keys... used for voltage capabilities on PCI...) I haven't seen that issue in a long time, but maybe that's it... |
| [21:30:43] | justinh_: | sorted it |
| [21:30:55] | sphery: | justinh_: I did have that exact same problem |
| [21:31:12] | justinh_: | it was the bloomin inside notch – not big enough. just borrowed an emery board & widened it |

| [21:33:16] | Dagmar: | I could go look it up, but I know there's been memory sticks where the notch width mattered. |
| [21:33:19] | sphery: | justinh_: On mine it seemed to be a timing issue--it worked fine as long as I delayed the probe from the card, but since there were no options to do that in the card's firmware and since I was using a PCI card (not an integrated SATA controller), the mobo BIOS didn't have any options to help. I ended up just moving that HDD to a slightly slower system that takes just a little more time to get to the probe. :) |
| [21:33:40] | Dagmar: | I can't remember right now whether or not htere's any flavors of PCI that rely on a wider/narrower notch for keying |
| [21:34:22] | justinh_: | motherboard manual says.. primary IDE channel no worky if you use sata HDD |
| [21:34:26] | J-e-f-f-A|work: | Dagmar: I don't think so, there's just two keys IIRC, one on either end – which specify if the slot is 5v only 3.3v only or universal... |
| [21:34:42] | justinh_: | new card fits.. and sees the HDD. then |
| [21:34:44] | justinh_: | hangs |
| [21:34:56] | sphery: | justinh_: I'm pretty sure, though, that error is the SATA controller saying, "I can't find any valid SATA HDD's, perhaps because the HDD firmware isn't properly loaded." |
| [21:35:03] | J-e-f-f-A|work: | justinh_: sounds like they're emulating a standard IDE controller with sata then... |

| [21:53:08] | sphery: | iamlindoro_: the sarcasm in my "Green is better" was because often what a marketing droid calls "green" is actually worse on the environment--ref Apple's latest "Green" laptops, made of aluminum instead of plastic, so it's recyclable (but they don't account for the fact that few will rip the guts out of the laptop when it's dead to recycle the case, let alone the /huge/ electricity/carbon cost of producing aluminum |

| [22:06:59] | Dagmar: | That and those settings in the frontend basically will have no effect on your main menus, afaik |
| [22:07:01] | sphery: | Dagmar: Yeah, I like the size of the 1.5TB's, but it seems there's a lot of anecdotal evidence to support the theory that a certain manufacturer's latest drivers a /much/ lower quality than they have historically been. Oh, and I'll never do any kind of RAID for Myth. |
| [22:07:18] | sphery: | s/drivers a/drives are/ |
| [22:07:31] | Dagmar: | sphery: I'm about to start mirroring a set of 500Gb drivese myself on a NAS box |
| [22:08:11] | klpt: | hmm |
| [22:08:20] | klpt: | Dagmar: any ideas of what to change to fix that? |
| [22:08:24] | Dagmar: | I'm still on the fence about whether to do that or just span them all and trusst LVM to save my bacon |
| [22:08:29] | Dagmar: | klpt: The theme. |
| [22:08:48] | Dagmar: | Most of the themes have font declarations with fixed sizes. |
| [22:09:32] | gbee: | I'd wait on the 1.5Tb drives, early days, they've pushed pretty hard and fast to get to 1.5Tb and I wouldn't be at all suprised if quality has suffered a little in that race |
| [22:10:08] | klpt: | that's... unfortunate |
| [22:10:11] | sphery: | yeah, I'm not worried about saving my TV recordings bacon, but I have had 3 HDD failures since Oct this year, so I'm starting to wonder if it's because I historically have purchased based on $/gig |
| [22:10:30] | klpt: | Dagmar: I edited the XML files in the theme directory to push up all the default sizes, but that seemed to have no effect |
| [22:10:47] | sphery: | gbee: yeah, I already have two 1.5TB HDD's. One is on the list of models/firmwares affected by the "lock up all I/O" bug. |
| [22:10:56] | Dagmar: | Well, keep in mind that they've made another breakthrough on the order of the perpendicular recording technolog that let us have this massive jump to 1Tb, and it'll be to market in another 2 years. |
| [22:10:57] | sphery: | so I can't decide if one more is a bad thing. |
| [22:11:40] | Dagmar: | klpt: So restart the frontend or change the theme to something else and back. |
| [22:11:41] | gbee: | klpt: not really, themes are carefully (well the good ones are) calibrated to allow text to fit the space allowed based on a certain font size, you increase that font and suddenly nothing will fit the screen |
| [22:11:42] | Dagmar: | Or both. |

| [22:20:00] | gbee: | sphery: oops? |
| [22:20:03] | iamlindoro_: | Just bear that in mind. |
| [22:20:05] | klpt: | changing themes back and forth, I assume that's to force updating the theme cache? |
| [22:20:52] | klpt: | there's plenty of space for all text. my system is running 1920x1280 at 100dpi, and on a 34" screen all the text is too small to read comfortably from across the room |
| [22:20:53] | gbee: | font updates are instant, but in 0.21 most themes don't inherit from the base font definitions, they define new fonts for each screen |
| [22:21:00] | klpt: | ah |
| [22:21:01] | gbee: | theme cache is just for images |

| [22:21:31] | iamlindoro_: | I need to find some retarded new feature to add to myth as my weekend project |
| [22:21:40] | gbee: | klpt: that's changed in 0.22 with all fonts in a theme being derived from ~4 base definitions in base.xml |

| [22:23:49] | gbee: | klpt: yeah, it's a real nightmare, hence why it's being changed in 0.22 |
| [22:24:00] | sphery: | klpt: and the worst part is that you have to /test/ each and every change because--as gbee said--the font was designed to look work with the areas and positions of all the elements defined by that theme |
| [22:24:29] | iamlindoro_: | Maybe if gbee commits the PBB changes soon I can add resolution logos *poke poke* |
| [22:24:33] | sphery: | in other words, you're basically doing all the work that the themer did (except when it's done you haven't created anything new :) |
| [22:24:34] | justinh: | klpt: it's ok though. some themers gave it up a while ago. so no more evils from me |
| [22:24:50] | gbee: | meh |
| [22:25:34] | sphery: | klpt: the important question, though, is /which/ text is too small for you to see? |
| [22:25:44] | sphery: | klpt: some of the text is /not/ controlled by the theme |
| [22:26:19] | sphery: | klpt: and in some themes, you can change a setting to get a bigger font size (but it's not supported by all themes as most themers don't care to test 3 different versions of their theme) |
| [22:26:47] | gbee: | many of the -wide themes were purposefully designed for a 40" screen at HD resolutions, some were pretty sloppy though |

| [22:30:10] | sphery: | iamlindoro_: I think you should make a MythTorrent plugin for inclusion in the main source distribution of mythplugins. It would start up and show/sound like a river rushing at the viewer. When people complain, say, "Uh, did I /ever/ say, /Bit/Torrent?" |

| [22:46:47] | gbee: | Comic Sans MS, if you have it installed, since so many fonts are pretty hard to tell apart but you can always tell Comic |
| [22:47:14] | klpt: | lol |
| [22:47:27] | klpt: | i'll do that, but somebody will shoot me if I leave that one the way it is |
| [22:47:46] | ** iamlindoro_ feels bad for the poor Comic Sans creator ** | |
| [22:48:03] | gbee: | hey I like Comic, it's just massively over exposed |
| [22:48:11] | klpt: | i like comic for, well, comics |
| [22:49:05] | gbee: | I remember a time when 9/10 websites used Comic |
| [22:49:37] | Dagmar: | I remember a time when 9/10 business meeting notes used Comic. |
| [22:49:40] | Dagmar: | Oh wait, that's now. |
| [22:49:44] | opello: | heh |
| [22:49:45] | klpt: | yeah, it is |

| [22:50:19] | mcquaid: | i run myth on ubuntu, since i upgraded to 8.10 it looks like myth has swapped fields on me. I even set live tv to 320 x 240 and I still get interlacing, which i shouldn't get with half frame resolution |
| [22:50:28] | mcquaid: | i don't know if it's a myth issue or something related to bttv/v4l |
| [22:50:38] | mcquaid: | my tvtuner is a zoltrix tv genie based on the bt 878 chipset |
| [22:50:46] | mcquaid: | it has been fine in all previous versions |
| [22:50:50] | Dagmar: | *sigh8 |
| [22:50:54] | Dagmar: | It's a framegrabber. |
| [22:51:03] | judazz: | mcquaid: check you deinterlacer |
| [22:51:04] | Dagmar: | You're going to get interlaced recordings no matter what resolution you pick. |
| [22:51:08] | mcquaid: | and i know it's not a playback issue because old recordings prior to the upgrade playback fine |
| [22:51:22] | judazz: | hm okay |
| [22:51:27] | mcquaid: | if you resize a full frame grab to half frame no you shouldn't get interlacing artifacts |
| [22:51:27] | Dagmar: | You have to *make* it deinterlace them as a post-processing (or if you're mad, while recording) step |
| [22:51:45] | Dagmar: | mcquaid: what makes you think that |
| [22:51:48] | mcquaid: | that's usually a tell tale sign of wrong field order |
| [22:52:02] | kormoc: | mcquaid, erm, the frame you're resizing is first rendered with the interlacing artifacts and then resized, no? |

| [22:53:08] | mcquaid: | well i use to capture shows on the windows side, and back then my card's driver had a bug where i had to flip field order or even progressive material looked interlaced |
| [22:53:32] | mcquaid: | so i've seen this problem before, and wanted to know is there any way to specify field order |
| [22:53:34] | Dagmar: | That was your windows software. |
| [22:53:49] | kormoc: | mcquaid, read up on your driver. Myth won't have a way to do that |
| [22:53:58] | mcquaid: | yes and now i suspect v4l or something is doing the same thing, cause i've seen this before |
| [22:54:03] | klpt: | do I change the font in ui.xml? |
| [22:54:08] | klpt: | or in the other xml file? |
| [22:54:15] | klpt: | because it's defined in about 10,000 places in ui.xml |
| [22:54:20] | gbee: | theme.xml, for the menus |
| [22:54:20] | klpt: | I could regex it |
| [22:54:23] | Dagmar: | So get to editing |
| [22:54:31] | klpt: | great. |
| [22:54:32] | klpt: | :p |
| [22:54:48] | mcquaid: | i didn't think myth was the cause but thought it might have a field swap option |
| [22:54:50] | kormoc: | or just edit the font file it's pointing to |
| [22:54:57] | gbee: | ui.xml concerns all the other frontend screens, but the main menus are theme.xml |
| [22:55:05] | kormoc: | mcquaid, that's driver land. We attempt to say out of that as much as we can. |
| [22:55:30] | mcquaid: | afaik v4l is pretty limited in options that you can pass to it |
| [22:55:43] | kormoc: | well, there's also the v4l2 interface |
| [22:55:44] | Dagmar: | You could always eliminate the problem by getting rid of the framegrabber |
| [22:55:52] | kormoc: | they may have swapped over to that without you knowing |
| [22:56:01] | mcquaid: | a lot of windows software used to have a field swap option. i'm not boasting of windows or anything just saying it's a common option with a lot of video capture software |
| [22:56:13] | kormoc: | you could always go back to the previous version if that one works and this one doesn't |
| [22:56:26] | mcquaid: | ya i could, but what a pain |
| [22:56:27] | gbee: | mcquaid: most MythTV uses are using something other than old framegrabbers, e.g. digital |
| [22:56:46] | mcquaid: | well digital is only good here for ota |
| [22:57:25] | gbee: | mcquaid: in those cases we suggest hardware encoders such as the Hauppauge PVR-150 |
| [22:57:28] | kormoc: | mcquaid, why? pvr cards are 'digital' and standard, you're thinking HD |
| [22:57:36] | Dagmar: | He's not talking about ATSC "digital" |
| [22:58:02] | Dagmar: | We're talking about cards that do the tuning *and* encoding in one step so they just emit an MPEG stream. |
| [22:58:14] | mcquaid: | ah |
| [22:58:21] | gbee: | makes no sense to implement a facility that's not going to be used by the majority and in most countries analogue capture and frame grabbers are a dying breed |
| [22:58:32] | mcquaid: | ya i guess i should upgrade, but i was holding off till i figure out how to deal with HD |
| [22:58:39] | kormoc: | yet alone, it's a bloody driver option |
| [22:58:43] | Dagmar: | Mainly the answer there is the Hauppauge HD-PVR. |
| [22:58:44] | mcquaid: | don't want another analog capture card |
| [22:58:49] | kormoc: | mcquaid, hdpvr? |
| [22:59:08] | Dagmar: | ...which takes a component input and emits a video stream in h264 |

| [22:59:38] | jk1joel (jk1joel!n=jsmith@ns.jk1.net) has quit ("Leaving.") | |
| [22:59:46] | mcquaid: | i guess no one deals with framegrabbers anymore and most don't realize when a bug creeps in |
| [23:00:48] | kormoc: | mcquaid, and given it's a driver thing, we really can't help, you should seek help with the driver specific resources |
| [23:01:14] | kormoc: | and your statement that we should just add it cause windows software does ignores the fact that if the driver doesn't allow you to change it, how would it allow us to? |
| [23:01:21] | mcquaid: | i hear ya, was just hoping there was a field swap option buried in the settings somewhere... |
| [23:01:51] | mcquaid: | not an expert on this but you don't need to tell the driver, you flip fields in software |
| [23:02:20] | kormoc: | we just pull frames from the driver, we have no control on what frames we get when |
| [23:02:26] | kormoc: | or how that frame was put together |
| [23:02:48] | gbee (gbee!n=stuartm@cpc1-derb9-0-0-cust490.leic.cable.ntl.com) has left #mythtv-users ("Gone") | |
| [23:03:14] | mcquaid: | yes, but it could still be flipped after it's been pulled from the driver no? |
| [23:03:56] | mcquaid: | for example, i use to use this program way back when called avi_io on windows, one of the only capture programs that never had sync issues |
| [23:04:13] | mcquaid: | anyway he added an option 'swap fields' cause so many drivers for framegrabbers were buggy |
| [23:04:37] | kormoc: | you could always look into the existing video processing utils (mencoder/ffmpeg/etc) to see if they can do that for you |
| [23:05:25] | mcquaid: | that's an option, now if i find a way with ffmpeg can i pass that argument in myth? doesn't myth use ffmpeg under the hood? |
| [23:05:36] | directhex: | mcquaid, no |
| [23:05:43] | kormoc: | mcquaid, no. but you can setup a userjob to do it |
| [23:05:45] | directhex: | mcquaid, it uses a local snapshot of libavcodec though |

| [23:06:23] | mcquaid: | gotcha |
| [23:06:45] | mcquaid: | ok well i guess i'll look at the driver level first and see if it switched to v4l2 or something in the upgrade |
| [23:06:54] | mcquaid: | never had to muck with the driver cause it always worked in linux |
