[00:20:54] coda: hi there!
[00:21:38] coda: excuse me guys, I've recently installed mythtv and configured the WinTV Nova-T
[00:21:50] coda: now I'm trying to configure the remote control..
[00:22:08] mzb_d800: setting TZ prior to mythwelcome doesn't help either :| ... grrr
[00:22:44] gbee: any read Chinese? (or might be japanese)
[00:22:48] gbee: anyone
[00:23:04] ** cesman reads some Japanese **
[00:23:09] mzb_d800: it's all Greek to me ;)
[00:23:09] coda: I've compiled the drivers and it seems to be working now.. but, for example, if I open a console and I press the "1" button on the remote, I see "1" in the terminal.. even if lirc is not running..
[00:23:22] cesman: if it is kanji you need help, sorry
[00:23:28] cesman: cannot say I know enough
[00:23:29] mzb_d800: coda: use the devinput driver for lirc
[00:23:40] coda: does this sounds familiar for you guys?
[00:23:41] coda: oh
[00:23:43] coda: let's see
[00:24:17] gbee: nevermind, seems google translate does Chinese pretty good now
[00:24:59] iamlindoro: For make woman blow up, apply most excellent warming oil?
[00:25:22] iamlindoro: OR
[00:25:26] iamlindoro: the recent wiki change
[00:25:29] iamlindoro: which is way more boring
[00:25:38] mzb_d800: you will probably need a udev rule to make it "nice". I recently posted a rule for the DualDigital4 that might help you: http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=6794981&postcount=92
[00:25:47] coda: mzb_d800: I have the REMOTE_DRIVER set to "devinput" on my hardware.conf file.. is that correct?
[00:26:17] mzb_d800: # irrecord -H devinput -d /dev/input/event?? testrecord
[00:26:48] mzb_d800: probably, depends on distro iirc
[00:27:07] mzb_d800: anybody using mythwelcome?
[00:27:21] coda: mzb_d800: "gap not found, can't continue" :(
[00:28:47] coda: mzb_d800: the weird thing is that I see a lot of 2's on the screen.. like if I were holding the key "2" on my keyboard..
[00:28:53] mzb_d800: and how have you determined the correct input event?
[00:28:59] mzb_d800: not in X console
[00:29:09] mzb_d800: exit X
[00:29:13] coda: ahhh okok
[00:29:14] mzb_d800: do it from terminal
[00:29:15] coda: let's see
[00:30:15] coda: damn it.. same thing
[00:30:36] coda: as if I were holding the key 2 on my keyboard.. I don't get it
[00:31:02] iamlindoro: gbee, What was the content of that apge?
[00:31:03] iamlindoro: page
[00:31:12] mzb_d800: coda: how have you determined the correct input event?
[00:31:27] coda: even if I stop lircd and I press the "2" button on my remote, I see a "2" in interminal
[00:31:42] mzb_d800: yes ... got that ... ignore it atm
[00:31:49] mzb_d800: it's a _devinput_ device
[00:31:53] coda: dmesg | grep receiver
[00:32:04] mzb_d800: have you stopped X?
[00:32:06] coda: yes
[00:32:38] coda: oh... it changed after I rebooted
[00:32:42] coda: let me try again please
[00:32:50] gbee: iamlindoro: wiki spam – http://www.pastebin.ca/1347331
[00:32:57] mzb_d800: coda: that's the point of setting a udev rule

[00:33:32] iamlindoro: gbee, what an odd thing to spam about, heh
[00:33:37] coda: mzb_d800: ough.. it's recognizing it now.. what a shame :D
[00:33:37] wagnerrp: gbee: that showed up on the wiki?
[00:33:47] gbee: it's suprisingly readable for an automated translation
[00:33:50] gbee: wagnerrp: yeah
[00:33:57] mzb_d800: coda: heh, shame that it works?
[00:34:43] coda: mzb_d800: no, shame that I didn't double check the correct input event :P
[00:35:00] mzb_d800: ah
[00:35:08] coda: mzb_d800: sorry for my poor english.. :(
[00:35:27] mzb_d800: nothing wrong with it
[00:36:40] gbee: what I love about it most is that management bullcrap is the same the world over, that could have originated on the desks of any western enterprise
[00:36:48] coda: mzb_d800: so now.. is it there any easy way to configure it and use it with mythtv? :D
[00:37:08] iamlindoro: Probably largely due to it having been exported by the west :)
[00:37:23] mzb_d800: 1. irrecord to create lircd.conf (ie: button definitions)
[00:37:54] mzb_d800: 2. .lircrc (by hand?) to link the buttons to actions|keypresses

[00:38:05] coda: mzb_d800: ok, but should I put some 'specific name' to each button?
[00:38:08] mzb_d800: 3. link ~/.lircrc to ~/mythtv/
[00:38:41] mzb_d800: yes, like what it says on the button ... you can use just about anything in lircd.conf, it's only referenced by lircrc

[00:41:12] coda: mzb_d800: thanks a lot.. you're the best :P
[00:41:38] mzb_d800: np, good luck (it takes a while to setup)
[00:41:40] coda: mzb_d800: btw, what about the udev thing you said a while ago?
[00:41:44] poodyp (poodyp!n=poodyp@m350436d0.tmodns.net) has joined #mythtv-users
[00:41:47] coda: mzb_d800: no problem :P
[00:42:02] mzb_d800: well, you know how the "event" number *can* change?
[00:42:30] mzb_d800: the udev rule (when you get it right) will link that event# to something like "/dev/input/irrecord"
[00:42:30] coda: is it randomly set during the boot by udev?
[00:42:58] mzb_d800: not randomly, depends on many things, including slot of the device, module load order, etc
[00:43:09] coda: okok
[00:43:13] mzb_d800: safer to link the event to a static device name
[00:43:30] iamlindoro: Heh
[00:43:37] mzb_d800: and make it *device* specific, not port|slot specific
[00:43:44] coda: great.. is it hard to create that link? :$
[00:43:47] iamlindoro: There's something funny about wanting to read about a topic, but the top google search result is a conversation you had in a forum
[00:43:56] iamlindoro: especially when the two topics are unrelated
[00:44:12] mzb_d800: you just need to get the rule right, check the post I made re dualdigital4
[00:44:22] mzb_d800: http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=6794981&postcount=92
[00:44:54] coda: mzb_d800: thanks over and over again :)
[00:44:59] mzb_d800: ok, np
[00:46:31] coda: oh.. now that I remember.. is there any way to integrate xbmc and mythtv? :$
[00:46:43] wagnerrp: why would you want to?
[00:47:01] EvilGuru (EvilGuru!n=freddie@dyn1074-9.hor.ic.ac.uk) has quit ()
[00:47:44] coda: just because I like xbmc's interface to play music and movies
[00:48:11] wagnerrp: well myth's music interface leaves something to be desired
[00:48:19] wagnerrp: however the video interface is adequate
[00:48:39] coda: I didn't try it too much, it was just a first impression
[00:48:48] wagnerrp: and the mythui stuff in trunk is capable looking every bit as good as xbmc
[00:50:38] mzb_d800: from what I can see in welcomedialog.cpp, there's a function WelcomeDialog::updateTime which uses QTime::currentTime()
[00:51:14] mzb_d800: from http://doc.trolltech.com/4.2/qtime.html it appears that this will return UTC time, right?
[00:51:22] mzb_d800: (rather than local time)
[00:51:41] coda: is there any way to create my own module for mythtv? I mean, for example to play video from megavideo, or something like that..
[00:52:07] wagnerrp: sure, if you want
[00:52:15] wagnerrp: theres the necessary header files in the source
[00:52:15] mzb_d800: where, in theory, it should be: QTime::currentTime(Qt::LocalTime); ???
[00:53:15] coda: great :) thanks a lot again
[00:53:25] mzb_d800: (assuming that updateTime is *only* used for display)
[00:53:46] mzb_d800: should I be taking this to #mythtv?
[00:54:58] coda: for example, there's a page with lots of spanish online movies (from different sources, such as megavideo), and maybe it could be a good idea to parse that page and play them through mythtv
[00:55:02] coda: arrrghh I hate my english :D
[00:55:41] wagnerrp: sounds illegitimate
[00:56:16] coda: ahmm.. that's right, sorry :(
[00:56:20] wagnerrp: or at least scraping and externally viewing such movies would be a violation of the TOS of the site
[00:57:56] coda: actually it only contains links to external sources.. anyway it's illegal
[00:59:07] wagnerrp: nothing stopping you from making such a plugin for your own use
[00:59:15] wagnerrp: just dont mention it here, on the mailing list, or on the wiki
[00:59:25] coda: sure
[00:59:38] wagnerrp: those things result in bans
[01:00:26] coda: I know, I've just forgot it for a moment.. :( sorry again
[01:03:21] coda: gotta go bed guys, thanks a lot for your help, I really appreciate it

[01:19:43] [yzf600]: so I just started using mythtv
[01:20:01] [yzf600]: scheduled recordings are working perfectly
[01:20:24] [yzf600]: until I was watching a live TV channel and paused it before a scheduled recording started.
[01:20:49] [yzf600]: I've got a 2 tuners (an hdhomerun)
[01:21:07] [yzf600]: so the live TV was on tuner 1, and so was the scheduled recording
[01:21:11] sphery: So, my plea for help documenting how to use distro debug packages ( http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/mythtv/users/368580#368580 ) seems to have been useless... Still not documented after a year.
[01:21:25] [yzf600]: mythtv didn't switch the scheduled recording over to tuner 2
[01:21:39] iamlindoro: sphery, what made you think about it after a year?
[01:21:40] mzb_d800: there's an option somewhere for that
[01:21:43] [yzf600]: does it lack this ability, or did I not set it up right
[01:21:57] iamlindoro: Oh, forgot it was a LOST night, hooray
[01:22:11] Dagmar: I'm still catching up on BSG
[01:22:14] mzb_d800: [yzf600]: there's an option somewhere for that
[01:22:14] sphery: If anyone wants to write up info, I just reworked http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Debugging to provide a skeleton for distro-specific debugging info (i.e. how to enable the debug repos, install debug packages, and then run the debugger)...
[01:22:21] sphery: iamlindoro: I mean after a month
[01:22:42] sphery: was cleaning up my sent folder in my mail client

[01:23:04] sphery: even if it's not full documentation, it's better than the nothing we currently have...
[01:23:13] sphery: if you know anything, you know more about it than I
[01:23:14] [yzf600]: mzb_d800: would that setting be a backend setting?
[01:23:23] aegis (aegis!n=aegis@71.172.30.237) has joined #mythtv-users
[01:23:48] mzb_d800: probably, can't recall.
[01:25:03] sphery: [yzf600]: Avoid conflicts between live TV and scheduled shows: If enabled, live TV will choose a tuner card that is less likely to have scheduled recordings rather than the best card available.
[01:25:19] sphery: [yzf600]: in frontend settings, under General
[01:25:31] [yzf600]: sphery: thanks
[01:25:44] [yzf600]: I'm actually using the mythbox script in xbmc
[01:25:53] [yzf600]: so I'll have to see if it has a similar control
[01:26:08] sphery: iamlindoro: guess you LOST track of time...
[01:26:21] iamlindoro: sphery, wish I could have lost track of three more hours
[01:31:41] SlicerDicer: why would a pvr350 be recording videos in .nuv
[01:31:54] SlicerDicer: It has not done that in age
[01:31:55] SlicerDicer: s
[01:31:56] sphery: records in MPEG, then the system auto transcodes?

[01:36:46] SlicerDicer: thus I cant do path/to/foo.nuv
[01:36:59] iamlindoro: Why would your recordings be expiring instantly? Are you out of disk space?
[01:37:03] SlicerDicer: no

[01:38:04] SlicerDicer: lol
[01:38:04] J-e-f-f-A: or, you've got the max recordings set to 10, but nto 'record new and expire old'...
[01:38:08] SlicerDicer: unlikely that is the problem
[01:38:14] SlicerDicer: J-e-f-f-A: I have over 180 recordings
[01:38:20] iamlindoro: I would say that if your recordings are immediately expiring, then you have much bigger problems what what container your recordings are
[01:38:21] SlicerDicer: I just reinstalled myth and its acting stupid
[01:38:26] J-e-f-f-A: SlicerDicer: of that one program?
[01:38:35] SlicerDicer: J-e-f-f-A: no just random shit
[01:38:37] iamlindoro: You just reinstalling myth is a fairly important piece of the puzzle
[01:38:44] iamlindoro: wonder when you would mention that part
[01:38:48] sphery: only LiveTV that's less than 2 minutes should expire immediately

[01:39:13] iamlindoro: so allll of this is wrong, but the problem is recording to NUV?
[01:39:34] SlicerDicer: iamlindoro: do you really think I am that stupid?
[01:39:35] iamlindoro: So myth didn't "just start" recording wrong, this is essentially a *new* (misconfigured) myth install

[01:45:22] iamlindoro: I mean come on, "What's wrong with myth, it hasn't done this since 2004 or 2005" is a little silly in light of (10 minutes later) mentioning you just reinstalled myth
[01:46:10] sphery: And, even if he's insisting his system is properly configured, he should at least entertain the idea that its symptoms indicate that it's not.
[01:46:29] iamlindoro: Well there's only two conditions on which one will get an NUV from a pvr-350

[02:36:10] [yzf600]: myth for local, internet for rest
[02:36:41] [yzf600]: I'm having somewhat of a hard time getting xbmc to play the myth recordings well, however.
[02:36:42] a1fa_: yzf600 the slow kind
[02:36:42] mchou: netflix for everything else? :)
[02:37:20] JpSSgtRock: Does anyone have any experience with iMON Remotes and lirc 0.8.4a?
[02:37:26] [yzf600]: yea – xbmc is slow. I downloaded the latest SVN to try it. It works better, but video is still kinda jumpy
[02:37:40] JpSSgtRock: For some reason, I can't seem to get /dev/lirc0 created.
[02:37:56] [yzf600]: also the mythbox script for xbmc prevented one of my scheduled recordings from occuring tonight
[02:38:50] a1fa_: no :)
[02:38:55] a1fa_: i am talking about YZF600
[02:38:57] hadees: [yzf600], well i think the dream is to use mythtv's internal player if i could
[02:38:57] a1fa_: its slow ;P
[02:39:03] a1fa_: no torque :)
[02:39:28] [yzf600]: hadees: that is what I think I might be forced to do as well
[02:40:01] [yzf600]: couse my mythtv-frontend has the slow program guide when watching live tv issue
[02:40:13] a1fa_: thats normal
[02:40:14] a1fa_: :)
[02:40:29] JpSSgtRock: cat /proc/bus/input/devices shows no driver is loaded for the device.
[02:40:55] [yzf600]: slow as in it takes 20–40 seconds for a up button press to occur?
[02:41:05] JpSSgtRock: lsmod reports it to be 0x15c2:0x0038, which I think is the newest version.
[02:41:22] [yzf600]: I hope that isn't normal
[02:42:03] hadees: the only nice thing is i think python is easier to code in then c
[02:42:18] [yzf600]: I saw some posts about it in the middle of last year. It seems some patch was required. I would suspect my binary has the patch (using mythtv from ubuntu 8.10)

[03:26:45] k-man: oh, thats interesting

[04:06:50] Dagmar: You're working from a flawed model

[04:09:52] high-rez: Dagmar: So how do I designate one as the master and another as a slave ?
[04:10:06] iamlindoro: yes, he can, but denying their existence is counterproductive
[04:10:22] mzb_d800: I have serial, streamzap and dvico remotes all working nicely ... each use a different method and have different strengths
[04:11:25] Dagmar: high-rez: You tell them they're slaves
[04:11:42] mzb_d800: the master has it's own IP as "master", the slave has the master IP as "master"
[04:12:19] high-rez: Hmm, ok. That all seems to be automagically filled in correct in general settings.
[04:13:20] Dagmar: like from http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/User_Manual:Detail . . . tion_Backend
[04:13:55] high-rez: The recording on each backend end up being stored on that backend though, correct?
[04:14:14] Dagmar: Yeah, because it's sort of a non-issue for the backends.
[04:14:26] Dagmar: The backends don't write to a fileshare, they write to a part of the file system.
[04:14:40] Dagmar: They have no idea where those files are actually going, nor should they care because that's the way Unix works.
[04:14:58] Dagmar: It could be writing to an NFS mount in your neighbor's house
[04:15:16] high-rez: So the storage directories on the slave should actually be nfs mounts?
[04:15:26] Dagmar: s/should/could/;
[04:15:26] high-rez: (nfs mounts onto the master)
[04:15:30] Dagmar: It's a matter of what you've got in mind overall
[04:16:08] Dagmar: ...although generally you want to have ONE (count 'em) ONE directory off your / where all your storage lives, and then do your best to make sure that directory looks the same on all machines involved
[04:16:11] high-rez: I'd rather stream from the backend than over nfs. I'm being pretty bad with my setup (e.g. my slave backend is connected over 802.11 – I know this is bad)
[04:16:15] Dagmar: Like /storage
[04:16:35] high-rez: right, i'm using /mnt/store
[04:16:36] Dagmar: NFS is not the steaming pile of shit you may have been led to believe
[04:16:47] Dagmar: It's merely user-malicious
[04:17:08] high-rez: It's properly craptastic, I'll give it that.  :)
[04:17:46] Dagmar: Nah, when you have the same uid list everywhere it works fine
[04:18:02] Dagmar: It just doesn't tolerate broken network links any better than your machine tolerates having a hard disk yanked out
[04:18:28] high-rez: infact, my machine has an lsi raid card and doesn't blink when a hard drive is yanked.  :)
[04:18:44] high-rez: but i get your point
[04:18:56] Dagmar: Yeah it was designed to do that tho
[04:19:07] Dagmar: NFS provides no fallback mechanisms

[05:05:25] iamlindoro: I had n working pretty well here for a bit, but it probably helped that I was running in 5 Ghz only mode and it's a less crowded space

[05:13:30] kormoc: ahh, nah, the N network will be between two of the cards, one master, one slave
[05:13:34] mzb_d800: but you end up with less overall bandwidth
[05:13:45] kormoc: the other router endpoint will be a entirely different network off of the server
[05:14:21] mzb_d800: heh: doesn't N use all the channels? If so, same problem (bandwidth)
[05:14:36] kormoc: Does it? I thought it only used like 3 or something
[05:14:43] mzb_d800: could be
[05:14:57] wagnerrp: on the 2.4GHz bands, i dont know
[05:15:10] mzb_d800: so you'd have (say) router1 on channel 3, and router2 on channel 9
[05:15:11] wagnerrp: but the 5GHz bands have FAR FAR more bandwidth available
[05:15:12] mzb_d800: ?
[05:15:19] wagnerrp: the channels are all non-overlapping
[05:15:35] mzb_d800: that's not how wifi works
[05:15:45] kormoc: couldn't the G network be on 2.4 ghz and the N on 5 ghz and not have any issues at all?
[05:15:55] justinh: not using the band poor people use could help a lot :D
[05:16:02] mzb_d800: :)
[05:16:26] mzb_d800: isn't 5GHz == .11a ?
[05:16:33] wagnerrp: and n
[05:16:39] wagnerrp: n can run at both frequencies

[05:18:30] poodyp (poodyp!n=poodyp@m3a0436d0.tmodns.net) has joined #mythtv-users
[05:19:13] wagnerrp: right, 10MHz, or two channels in either direction
[05:19:28] wagnerrp: which is why you can only do 1, 6, and 11 at full speed
[05:19:41] wagnerrp: although it would seem N could only operate a singular network at full speed
[05:20:13] wagnerrp: in the 2.4GHz band anyway
[05:21:08] wagnerrp: depends on how far youre allowed to run outside those channels i guess
[05:21:16] mzb_d800: You do get "overlap". Thinking of wifi as (completely) discrete channels is probably not the best way.
[05:21:50] wagnerrp: its a broadcast transmission, they must run on separate channels
[05:22:04] mzb_d800: talk to mbd in #openwrt, he can explain it
[05:22:11] wagnerrp: otherwise, its like ghosting on analog tv
[05:22:16] mzb_d800: uhuh
[05:22:36] wagnerrp: or collisions on a network hub

[05:23:55] wagnerrp: i realize two networks can run on the same channel if theyre some distance away

[05:26:16] mzb_d800: both at each end
[05:26:16] kormoc: erm
[05:26:26] mzb_d800: omni/uni?
[05:26:35] ** mzb_d800 needs beer **
[05:27:01] kormoc: Very wide bandwidths are the ones that do deep penetration, not very narrow. Very narrow is high energy but low penetration. It's why submarines use VLF (Very Low Frequency)
[05:27:03] clever: mzb_d800: http://hackaday.com/2009/02/22/qrss-radio-ama . . . -narrowband/

[05:27:31] wagnerrp: kormoc: thats completely wrong (wording)
[05:27:32] mzb_d800: there can be, but I never saw the other end of it
[05:27:49] wagnerrp: bandwidth is how wide a range of frequencies you use
[05:28:05] kormoc: isn't the width of the frequency between peaks? and there for low frequency is very wide?
[05:28:09] high-rez: so, both my master and slave backend are pointing at the same source – thus the same channel numbers. Should i be using the master's video sources or create new sources? I created new sources and I couldn't tune to any of them.
[05:28:11] wagnerrp: rather deep penetration is a propery of very larger wavelengths
[05:28:19] wagnerrp: wavelength is the distance between peeks

[05:29:06] ** high-rez attenuates the deep conversation with simplistic questions **
[05:29:12] wagnerrp: the only problem is that VLF antenna have wavelengths (and antenna) on the order of miles
[05:29:22] clever: ive also seen a java applet based radio online
[05:29:34] kormoc: but it makes no sense that 10 mhz is considered narrow frequencies
[05:29:42] clever: the tuning is done in software, so it can have multiple listeners on diff channels
[05:29:50] mzb_d800: uses GPRS + HF (etc) for long distances (has a motorised antenna on the back of his 4WD)
[05:30:13] justinh: 10mhz is not much more than an analogue tv channel
[05:30:26] clever: my grandfather recently got a pace maker and is paranoid about the effect of the radios
[05:30:36] mzb_d800: heh, don't blame him ;)

[11:35:15] gbee: Shadow__X: current menu themes try to be all things to all people, if I do create a menu theme to go with the UI theme, then it will sacrifice some things which IMHO are little used

[17:17:07] LanUser: How is it that set top DVD players don't have any issues with "on purpose errors" encryption? Or do they
[17:19:28] iamlindoro_: LanUser: Some do, but more or less, DVDs follow a tree structure which allows the disk to instruct the play to branch around the bad sectors-- but by having the bad sectors there is prevents a bit-for-bit copy of the disk (or, at least, makes it hard)
[17:19:55] iamlindoro_: more or less, it's playable because the software never sees the bad bits, but a straight up copy will encounter them
[17:20:42] sphery: AIUI, DVD-ROM drives are built for data storage, and, therefore, perform all sorts of error-correction checks and strive to read and re-read to get the correct data, but STB's tend to ignore errors (as they're usually not critical during real-time video playback)--or, as iamlindoro_ mentioned, don't even read the errored sections

[18:38:52] iamlindoro_: I did borrow that one, though the HD icons are my own
[18:39:02] iamlindoro_: derived from the "Hd Ready" logo
[18:40:03] gbee: heh, I did the same – promise that I didn't nick that
[18:40:17] iamlindoro_: But I think the icon used in the Sage example is literally cut out from a few early screenshots I showed here and nowhere else... hmm.

[18:41:59] iamlindoro_: But seeing what I am fairly certain is a cut and paste from something I did made me chuckle :)
[18:42:32] gbee: screenshot, too crowded, lacks originality and the list just doesn't work

[18:47:04] iamlindoro_: S'pose so, but that needs to be a manual step, versus moving something in to MythVideo it ostensibly won't have a screenshot, and so the preview generator will run itself
[18:47:08] iamlindoro_: (once that gets added)
[18:47:11] gbee: though the latter would work best if mythvideo used programinfo
[18:47:17] iamlindoro_: yeah, first time it plays owuld be fine too
[18:48:26] gbee: we need the option to build seektables though, IMHO that's a must have for 0.22

[19:06:33] gbee: GreyFoxx: anything above 3x is useless without a seektable on mpeg2

[19:33:26] GreyFoxx: And is it -fixes or trunk ?
[19:33:28] mkrufky: while i watch HD content, too ....... i can fix the problem by ALT-TABbing away, then ALT-TAB back in to myth
[19:33:40] mkrufky: i am using the distro-packaged version in ubuntu hardy
[19:33:50] mkrufky: i wasnt planning to complain about this — i figured it was a window-manager problem
[19:34:00] GreyFoxx: It does sound like a WM problem
[19:34:01] mkrufky: but i mention it now cuz i see u talking about it in the log... maybe more info is helpful
[19:34:26] GreyFoxx: There have been reports lately of a long lag when someone hits a button and myth reacts to it
[19:34:32] mkrufky: so, sometimes i have to do the alt-tab dance before pausing ... otherwise the [P]ause button is ignored

[19:34:58] mkrufky: ive seen this only the past few months, but i have not upgraded any software on that box for the past few months, anyway
[19:35:26] GreyFoxx: It must be the embedded hidden remote keystroke logging timeing out waiting for DNS lookups or something

[20:08:59] gbee: keith4: XvMC is fairly worthless, there are almost no CPUs these days that can't handle SD/HD mpeg2
[20:09:02] keith4: justinh: k, thanks
[20:09:29] keith4: gbee: i might try a single core P4, 3ghz... and settle for 720p
[20:10:00] keith4: iirc, a similar spare box could *almost* handle live 1080i mpeg2
[20:10:23] keith4: i guess i'll just have to try it
[20:10:42] gbee: 1080i mpeg2 was playable on my single core 1.6Ghz
[20:11:35] keith4: playback at native resolution?
[20:11:40] keith4: maybe i should crank the quality down, then
[20:12:01] gbee: doesn't matter what resolution it's being played back at, the scaling is done in hardware
[20:12:14] keith4: although, i don't recall if it had problems with the recordings, or just live tv
[20:12:55] keith4: sometimes, i wish i kept notes on this stuff
[20:13:04] gbee: decoding any video uses the same amount of CPU whether it's being played at 1920x1080 or 192x108
[20:14:00] keith4: yah, but i seem to recall that Xorg used less CPU at lower res, for some reason
[20:14:03] keith4: never did figure out why
[20:14:42] mkrufky: the entire tree builds fine for me under 2.6.24–23, so i blame the user
[20:14:45] mkrufky: oops, wrong room
[20:14:52] Dagmar: gbee: Seems like there could be room for improvement there
[20:15:55] keith4: gbee: how can we explain these people who reported 100% usage on a 2.2GHz athlon then? http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/XvMC:Example_CPU_Savings
[20:16:36] iamlindoro_: these are users we're talking about, right?
[20:16:39] iamlindoro_: so there's your answer
[20:16:46] keith4: i figure they can't *all* be idiots
[20:17:15] keith4: it's certainly not the smallest sample size i've seen... so there must be at least a few useful stats here
[20:17:28] iamlindoro_: There tends to be a direct corollation between idiocy and willingness to write about yourself
[20:17:42] keith4: that's very unfortunate
[20:17:55] jams: but true
[20:18:06] iamlindoro_: I also have had non-XvMc American ATSC 1080i working on 1.8 Ghz and 2.0 Ghz processors
[20:18:39] iamlindoro_: the shorter way of saying it is they've done with XvMc what probably could have been done with proper configuration
[20:18:48] keith4: combined front/backend?
[20:19:05] iamlindoro_: yes
[20:19:11] keith4: that might make a difference
[20:19:15] iamlindoro_: Not that there's anything at all to recording digital television
[20:19:22] keith4: right
[20:19:46] keith4: but, i wonder how much overhead is involved in sucking multiple MB/s from a remote backend
[20:19:55] iamlindoro_: It would be *less* CPU for them to be seperated
[20:20:00] keith4: hopefully
[20:20:09] iamlindoro_: And it's far less data than you think
[20:20:20] iamlindoro_: 19 Mbit/s max
[20:20:25] iamlindoro_: not hopefully, literally

[20:21:16] keith4: maybe i'm crazy, but i swear that 1080i mpeg2 wasn't watchable on a 3Ghz P4 a few years ago
[20:21:41] iamlindoro_: Not crazy, but perhaps mis-recalling
[20:21:51] iamlindoro_: 1080i at broadcast bitrates is doable on much less than that
[20:21:56] keith4: hmmm
[20:22:03] iamlindoro_: as previously mentioned by several of us
[20:22:07] keith4: how much of a role does the suckiness of the video card play?
[20:22:39] iamlindoro_: depends on how sucky. If we're talking any relatively modern nvidia card with proprietary drivers, that's more than enough
[20:22:50] iamlindoro_: Is we're talking about some S3, it would definitely play a factor
[20:23:08] keith4: it's relatively new, compared to the other video cards in my cardboard box o' spare parts.... Geforce 4 era
[20:23:41] keith4: either way, that's fantastic news. it means i can move my slim frontend, and frankenstein another one together
[20:23:50] keith4: you guys have just made my day!

[20:25:12] gbee: keith4: may have been differences in compression levels, we don't get HD mpeg2 over here, but I used to transcode BBC HD h.264 to mpeg2 for playback on my laptop
[20:26:25] keith4: unfortunately, i've been transcoding a lot of my HD recordings to mpeg4... which will make it harder to playback on slower CPUs, no?
[20:26:49] keith4: but it sounds like that still shouldn't be an issue
[20:26:51] gbee: now considering that BBC HD h.264 is ~20Mbps and h.264 achieves far better compression than mpeg2, I'm really starting to wonder about the quality of ATSC HD with a max rate of 19Mbps in mpeg2
[20:27:18] iamlindoro_: gbee: It's not as bad as people make it out to be, presuming you get anything close to a full bitrate stream
[20:27:41] iamlindoro_: I think people just like to complain-- most of out 1080i channels which remain north of 13–15 Mbit look pretty fantastic
[20:27:59] keith4: thankfully, my provider only has about 20 HD channels, so they don't have to compress the hell out of them (yet)

[21:50:17] iamlindoro_: the storage group is added form mythtv-setup-- if you want to convert existing stuff to SG it takes more effort and manual tweaking
[21:50:50] iamlindoro_: To do so, you need to add the host where they live to the host field for each record, and change the path of the filename to be relative to the root of the SG

[21:51:32] yfaykya: iamlindoro: Ok so I can script some SQL to do that. So all I need do first is add a storagegroup from mythtv-setup?
[21:51:39] iamlindoro_: yes

[21:53:25] yfaykya: Os so Televsion/... instead of /Televison./....
[21:53:30] iamlindoro_: first, that matches how the new scanning code works

[21:55:18] yfaykya: Oh and what about posters? Does myth just take that from masterbackend or do I need a storagegroup for them too?
[21:57:06] iamlindoro_: for the moment, posters will still need to be locally mounted
[21:57:27] iamlindoro_: Caveats to streaming are that ISOs and VIDEO_TS directories currently do not work

[22:11:54] yfaykya: looks like it did...
[22:12:47] iamlindoro_: Might get inserted, but whether those are the correct values I couldn't tell you-- looks fine from here but I don't know your setup
[22:14:22] yfaykya: The 2 was the only thing I was worried about. Wonder if it is ref'ed anywhere else.

[22:38:32] yfaykya: etc
[22:38:44] yfaykya: Cover art is fine. Its the folders that are not.
[22:38:46] yfaykya: Like the storage group is not parsing correctly for the folder.*
[22:39:16] yfaykya: iamlandoro : I had updated the videometadata with a host as the IP address. I changed it to the hostname and it works fine now.

[22:42:18] iamlindoro_: coverart isn't going to work unless it's locally accessible, it's not streamed without my (sitting in trac) patch to add a storage group for them
[22:42:50] gbee: feel sure I would have noticed that when I tested this stuff from my netbook
