[00:07:01] iamlindoro: yes
[00:07:11] Dagmar: I figured the question answered itself
[00:07:16] iamlindoro: sphery, log in, edit, then save, yes
[00:07:33] iamlindoro: sphery, a lot of options only appear when logged in
[00:08:15] sphery: cool
[00:08:50] sphery: still don't see any character stuff
[00:08:59] sphery: but at least I could put in the guest stars
[00:09:22] SHADOW_V: is ffmpeg used for anything while the be is recording
[00:09:30] SHADOW_V: other than thumbnail creation that is
[00:09:41] kormoc: it's not used for thumbnail creation
[00:09:44] sphery: not even for thumbnail creation
[00:10:04] SHADOW_V: oh what is used for thumbnail creation
[00:10:10] sphery: mythbackend
[00:10:15] Dagmar: If you're using it to transcode tho, yeah it kinda needs support for the output format
[00:10:33] sphery: which uses libraries that were originally created as part of the ffmpeg project, but doesn't use the libraries that your system ffmpeg uses
[00:10:35] SHADOW_V: ah alright sorry for my apprehension i just dont want to ruin my fe/be due to a poorly configured ffmpeg
[00:10:43] Dagmar: Cheat
[00:10:53] iamlindoro: SHADOW_V, mythbackend does nothing with ffmpeg
[00:10:56] sphery: that's actually the biggest reason that myth doesn't use the system ffmpeg
[00:11:03] Dagmar: Find the scripts/deb/srpm or whatever used to build your current copy of ffmpeg and then modify it
[00:11:06] iamlindoro: SHADOW_V, all components we borow from ffmpeg are imported into myth's code
[00:11:12] sphery: so that users can't break myth by doing stupid tricks with ffmpeg
[00:11:24] sphery: (not that you're doing stupid things, but some people would)
[00:11:24] kormoc (kormoc!n=kormoc@unaffiliated/kormoc) has quit ("Leaving")
[00:11:27] Dagmar: It's hard to break stuff when you make the smallest change you can get away with to achieve the result you want
[00:11:58] Dagmar: If you go grab something and just throw ./configure --prefix=/usr && make && make install-strip at it, expect weird stuff to happen
[00:12:15] SHADOW_V: right i wasnt going to do that
[00:12:30] SHADOW_V: since i didnt know what flags where used i did ffmpeg -version
[00:12:39] SHADOW_V: and copied the --enable and disable info
[00:12:41] Dagmar: This would be why you go find what was used to build that binary.
[00:12:42] SHADOW_V: and was going to use that
[00:12:59] Dagmar: Much simpler, and you'll get a package you can cleanly remove or upgrade later
[00:13:13] SHADOW_V: Dagmar, so where would i get that or find that
[00:13:20] Dagmar: That depends on what distro you're using
[00:13:26] SHADOW_V: :( ubuntu
[00:13:28] Dagmar: These are things you should really learn about the distro you use
[00:13:32] SHADOW_V: i am not an idiot i swear
[00:13:33] Dagmar: OKay, so it's a deb then
[00:13:37] SHADOW_V: yeah
[00:13:49] Dagmar: Go poke around on their site and you should be able to find the thing through the web interface even
[00:14:09] Dagmar: ...although I've got no idea what to do to rebuild a deb beyond "it probably involves dpkg somehow"

[00:16:35] Dagmar: Yep
[00:16:36] Dagmar: That'll do
[00:16:43] SHADOW_V: thanks
[00:25:48] SHADOW_V: ok so in comparison the the ./configure given on that page for 8.10 and the .configure that was used on my current ffmpeg some things are different how do i know what they do or if i need them
[00:26:21] iamlindoro: ./configure --help
[00:26:31] SHADOW_V: oh ok thanks

[01:06:50] sphery: should be better in 0.22
[01:07:00] frogonwheels: ok. thanks.
[01:07:08] sphery: until the, you can just learn to use Myth as a DVR :)
[01:07:10] frogonwheels: sphery: I can cope with it for the time being.
[01:07:11] sphery: then
[01:07:22] frogonwheels: yes – we mostly record stuff anyway
[01:07:39] SHADOW_V: never watch live tv
[01:07:40] SHADOW_V: its bad
[01:07:43] frogonwheels: and play 'catch-up' during the evening.
[01:07:49] SHADOW_V: bad for your health

[01:15:41] GreyFoxx: I'll check it out in a few minutes :)
[01:16:01] iamlindoro: no problem, missed one hunk on the patch anyway, heh
[01:16:47] iamlindoro: fixed, whew

[01:27:29] iamlindoro: GreyFoxx, D'oh! I just uplaoded one additional fix
[01:27:43] iamlindoro: it's a single line
[01:27:53] iamlindoro: gamedetails.cpp
[01:28:01] GreyFoxx: k
[01:28:03] iamlindoro: add "handleImage("gameimage", m_romInfo->ImagePath()); " to the end of the handleimage part
[01:28:14] iamlindoro: It's the one missing piece of metadata for that screen
[01:28:25] iamlindoro: Sorry about that, I should have looked closer at what was missing before pinging you
[01:29:14] iamlindoro: but all of this is tested, of course

[01:30:34] frogonwheels: GreyFoxx: colleagues not quite so keen on the 'it compiles' test though.
[01:31:06] iamlindoro: GreyFoxx, thanks for looking at it so quickly
[01:31:37] iamlindoro: (and for the second commit)
[01:31:52] GreyFoxx: It was simple enough to just eyeball :)

[01:40:54] sphery: The topic of the channel should be changed to include a warning, "Beware the malevolent gaze of kormoc's eyes." Last time I got the evil eye from him I had bad luck for 3 weeks.
[01:41:05] frogonwheels: lol

[01:43:21] iamlindoro: Heh, it's all out there already, just use Graphite :)
[01:43:40] sphery: but I'd have to get a bunch of games
[01:43:49] iamlindoro: or create some dummies
[01:43:58] sphery: you didn't have mythgame in the video you did previously, did you?
[01:44:10] iamlindoro: I guess not
[01:44:28] sphery: I could do the dummy game thing (once I learn a bit about mythgame)
[01:45:41] iamlindoro: ugh, why is getting a screencast with GL such a bastard
[01:46:32] sphery: GL as in Good Luck trying to get a screenshot

[01:52:04] iamlindoro: I was kinda figuring the latter and didn't have a ton of time last night, so I just jumped right to trying another slot
[01:52:07] iamlindoro: not sure if he ever did
[01:52:42] awalls: OK. I save a new kernel message about IRQF_DISABLED not working for shared IRQs
[01:52:47] awalls: /save/saw/
[01:53:07] awalls: So it could be a new kernel interrupt handling thing too.

[01:56:32] SHADOW_V: psm321, in the settings page
[01:56:48] kormoc: why would you?
[01:56:58] SHADOW_V: i was feeling synical
[01:57:00] psm321: kormoc: heh i knew someone would ask
[01:57:04] SHADOW_V: cynical
[01:57:17] SHADOW_V: jesus i am horrible at spelling
[01:57:41] psm321: kormoc: so, i have mythtv really stressed with a ridiculous amount of recording schedules (i know, i know... i really shouldnt do that)
[01:58:01] SHADOW_V: psm321, or ya know upgrade to better stuff
[01:58:17] kormoc: Thing is, we run it at the best time for the data servers,changing that can increase the time your listings take to run
[01:58:33] psm321: kormoc: and at that number of schedules, for some reason it makes a significant difference to reschedule times to have a fresh program table versus one thats had deletes and adds done to it
[01:59:00] SHADOW_V: mythtv cluster to the rescue !
[01:59:15] psm321: kormoc: and this difference is significant enough to cause recordings to start late because the reschedule was still happening
[01:59:30] LanUser: Is "trunk" synonomous with the .22 branch?
[01:59:54] SHADOW_V: turning slow worthless hardware into a matainence filled experiment
[02:00:02] psm321: kormoc: well the thing is i have to run it manually every morning anyway because sd/tribune has issues with generic episode data on some stations (i've reported many times, it gets fixed for a while then starts happening again)

[02:00:07] kormoc: LanUser, there is no 0.22 branch, but trunk will be the 0.22 branch
[02:00:31] psm321: SHADOW_V: upgrade to what?
[02:00:41] SHADOW_V: a faster computer
[02:00:43] psm321: SHADOW_V: unfortunately reschedule is not multithreaded
[02:01:03] psm321: SHADOW_V: i have a phenom 9850
[02:01:09] SHADOW_V: oh
[02:01:14] SHADOW_V: that should be more than enough cpu
[02:01:24] LanUser: ah ok, I was just curious and trying to find the .22/trunk equivilant webpage to .21's svn/trac page here --> http://svn.mythtv.org/trac/log/branches/release-0-21-fixes/
[02:01:41] psm321: SHADOW_V: like i said, lots of schedules... way too many
[02:01:55] GreyFoxx: psm321: how many ?
[02:02:05] psm321: SHADOW_V: i have really crazy reasons for it... reasons that i could fix but i would need to code stuff
[02:02:15] psm321: GreyFoxx: you really want to know? :)
[02:02:20] GreyFoxx: yes
[02:03:10] psm321: huh... less than i thought
[02:03:14] psm321: 3395
[02:03:18] GreyFoxx: damn
[02:03:25] GreyFoxx: that is a litle excessive
[02:03:32] psm321: yeah i know
[02:03:35] GreyFoxx: but I'd try optimizing the table daily
[02:03:46] GreyFoxx: see if it makes a difference without requiring a drop/reimport
[02:03:47] psm321: which table?
[02:03:49] psm321: oh
[02:03:55] psm321: program?
[02:03:58] GreyFoxx: which worst case you could do on a simple crontab
[02:03:59] GreyFoxx: yeah
[02:04:36] psm321: i guess i could try that... i didnt think sd minded the pulls tho since they seem to recomend --refresh-all many places on the forums
[02:04:53] SHADOW_V: for one time fixes
[02:04:55] GreyFoxx: those are not recommended as a regular occurance
[02:04:55] SHADOW_V: not all the time
[02:04:57] SHADOW_V: i am sure
[02:06:38] GreyFoxx: Youcould script it to dump/clear/reimport the program table in like 3 or 4 lines of a bash script
[02:07:22] GreyFoxx: but you might wanna try a cronned optimize and see if it helps first
[02:08:42] sphery: psm321: did you mess with the storage engine in MySQL or are you using MyISAM?
[02:09:18] sphery: with MyISAM, you shouldn't see any different whether you dump&restore or analyze/optimize or neither
[02:09:56] sphery: with InnoDB, there may be some required maintenance, but I'm /sure/ the recommended approach is not to dump/restore your DB daily (otherwise, no one would be able to use MySQL for any real DB's)
[02:10:30] psm321: sphery: i'm using the default (isam i think)
[02:10:51] kormoc: isam != myisam...
[02:11:16] psm321: kormoc: i have no idea honestly, i'm just using whatever the default is
[02:11:42] sphery: kormoc: please correct me if I'm wrong/have the wrong names, too--as I know almost nothing about MySQL
[02:11:58] kormoc: nah, we use myisam, innodb is the other popular option
[02:12:12] kormoc: but isam is another engine type, and is still supported and would cause major issues if used
[02:12:19] sphery: but I remember a discussion with you where you said that analyze/optimize won't really help much with myth tables because of the way we use the DB
[02:12:46] sphery: won't hurt, but won't really help
[02:12:57] kormoc: Aye
[02:14:11] sphery: and the only way I could see a dump/restore helping with reschedules is due to memory caching
[02:14:31] psm321: i had this discussion with somebody before, i dont remember who
[02:14:33] kormoc: hrm

[02:14:50] psm321: i dont know about the theory, all i can say is that it empirically makes a difference for me
[02:15:10] psm321: it also makes a difference when i dump/reload the whole database, but i only do that every few months
[02:15:19] kormoc: http://wiki.mysqltuner.com/MySQLTuner#Quick_Start
[02:15:21] sphery: psm321: yeah, it was me--and I mentioned that kormoc knows way more than me (and GreyFoxx, too--IIRC, they both use MySQL in a commercial environment)
[02:15:28] kormoc: try running that and see what it says?
[02:15:59] kormoc: I think j-e-f-f-a found it and it seems to be fairly good for a quick glance tool :)
[02:16:02] sphery: ??? wget mysqltuner.pl
[02:16:08] sphery: don't you need an address?

[02:16:55] sphery: are the devs in Poland or did they have to find someone?
[02:16:59] kormoc: no idea

[02:21:42] kormoc: psm321, Try following the variables to adjust, I'd also increase the table cache to 256 and the join buffer to 2048k
[02:22:19] psm321: kormoc: ok thanks, i'll try that this weekend (dont want to risk breaking something when i dont have time to mess with it)
[02:22:50] sphery: good luck... I hope this time--with advice from someone who knows what he's talking about--you get it fixed up.
[02:22:59] SHADOW_V: could changing those two things really break mysql
[02:23:44] psm321: well it could change the performance for the worse maybe? or even if it makes it better have unintended side effects? i dont know... just something i dont want to risk being up all night over
[02:24:05] kormoc: It's unlikely, but hey, it's always better to be cautios
[02:24:14] psm321: plus i'd have to find a time when i can restart mysqld and those happen more frequently during the weekend
[02:24:15] SHADOW_V: cautios
[02:24:16] SHADOW_V: ?
[02:24:24] kormoc: cautious
[02:24:28] SHADOW_V: :)
[02:26:36] sphery: psm321: how long do your rescheds take? For me (on an Athlon XP 2400+ w/ 1GB RAM), a "Reschedule requested for id -1." shows "322 items in 1.9 = 0.43 match + 1.44 place" on startup (Jun 27) and "Scheduled 333 items in 1.4 = 0.08 match + 1.31 place" today after mfdb (been running since the power outage on Jun 27).
[02:26:58] sphery: 102 rules
[02:27:02] sphery: you have about 30x that many
[02:27:32] sphery: and, out of curiosity, what kind of rules do you have?
[02:27:45] psm321: somewhere between 70 seconds on a good day (recent full reload of db) to 120–130 seconds on a bad day
[02:27:46] sphery: if you have mainly "this channel" rules, you'll get terrible performance with 3300 rules.

[02:27:59] psm321: pretty much all my rules are any channel
[02:28:00] psm321: but
[02:28:14] psm321: theres a lot of them for "one-time" shows liek movies
[02:28:21] sphery: you'd actually be better off re-creating the "this channel" rules as custom rules specifying callsign (I know, makes no sense, but...)
[02:28:40] sphery: so, Find one showing on any channel for movies?
[02:28:45] psm321: basically i like to see in the program guide that something is already recorded rather than thinking its not and setting up a record again
[02:28:56] psm321: any time on any channel is what i set almost everything to
[02:29:09] sphery: even the movies?
[02:29:13] psm321: yeah
[02:29:24] psm321: because that way i see in the guide that its already recorded
[02:29:33] sphery: I think the find one would lighten the load on the scheduler significantly
[02:29:52] sphery: yeah, MythWeb shows it as previously recorded even without a matching rule
[02:29:55] kormoc: psm321, if you really want to dive into this, turn on the slow query log and we can use maatkit to analyze the scheduler query and see what's up
[02:29:56] sphery: the frontend doesn't,
[02:30:01] psm321: hence what i said about needing to code to make it the way i want without needing all the schedules... i need to change the guide to query the recorded stuff

[02:30:37] psm321: i also have quite a few (maybe 50 or so) custom rules that use title like '%a%'
[02:30:45] psm321: i suspect those are expensivew
[02:30:49] sphery: with the guide now in mythui, it may actually be worth looking into adding information showing recording history there...
[02:30:50] kormoc: Those are
[02:31:03] sphery: title like '%a%' would be very expensive
[02:31:06] sphery: tons of matches
[02:31:08] kormoc: anything that's unanchored to the start of the string would be very nasty, as it breaks all indexing
[02:31:11] psm321: well not literally the letter a
[02:31:14] kormoc: that's a full tablescan...
[02:31:18] sphery: can you give me one of your match/place lines from the backend log?
[02:31:27] sphery: just out of curiosity
[02:31:43] psm321: sphery: those vary based on whether it's doing id 0, id -1, or id nnnn
[02:31:55] sphery: right, I'd like a -1 resched
[02:31:56] psm321: 2009-07–09 22:26:37.687 Reschedule requested for id 14151.
[02:31:56] psm321: 2009-07–09 22:29:06.863 Scheduled 11524 items in 149.0 = 0.09 match + 148.92 place
[02:32:09] sphery: wow... 149s
[02:32:13] sphery: what about -1
[02:32:34] psm321: still looking for one, those are rare
[02:32:40] psm321: thats what --resched triggers right?
[02:32:43] sphery: search if id -1
[02:32:50] psm321: i dont actually have logs
[02:32:53] psm321: just my console
[02:32:54] SHADOW_V: ffmpeg doesnt want to compile and throws me this error http://pastebin.com/d59e6807f
[02:32:58] sphery: -1 says do a full resched of all rules--as if nothing is scheduled
[02:33:06] sphery: and I think --resched will trigger one
[02:33:25] sphery: -1 is done on mbe startup and mfdb completion
[02:33:52] sphery: (and by EIT--this time I'll mention it so I don't cause anyone to "correct" me)
[02:34:15] psm321: sphery: the 149 was excessive, probably the cpu was busy or soemthing... doesnt happen that often
[02:34:28] sphery: I'm guessing I'll see a line for the -1 resched in about 2–3mins :)
[02:35:04] sphery: yeah, and on a Phenom 9850
[02:35:13] sphery: are you using CPU frequency scaling?
[02:35:19] psm321: what i really want to do is "fix" (i'm not saying its necessarily broken, just that it's bad for me) the behavior where it keeps rescheduling from a minute before the record-preroll to when it actually starts

[02:36:30] psm321: 2009-07–09 22:36:21.318 Scheduled 11513 items in 129.5 = 29.16 match + 100.34 place
[02:36:54] psm321: what i think is interesting is that the place time seems to scale down when the match is how so that it approximately adds up to the same amount
[02:41:36] sphery: psm321: what do you get from: cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/{cpuinfo_min_freq,cpuinfo_max_freq,scaling_ governor,cpuinfo_cur_freq}
[02:41:51] sphery: hope I got the right place for that info

[02:43:02] SHADOW_V: heh
[02:43:16] psm321: i suspect i probably dont even have it compiled in
[02:43:26] sphery: maybe I should boot my laptop to look at where my scripts (which I can't find on my file server) read the info

[03:11:50] SHADOW_V: psm321, how many tuners do you have
[03:13:21] sphery: psm321: btw, is your database on a disc that's not used for recording (or at least a filesystem that's not used for recording)?
[03:13:50] psm321: sphery: filesystem definitely different, disc i'm not sure let me check
[03:13:53] psm321: SHADOW_V: 5
[03:14:00] sphery: filesystem is most important
[03:14:10] psm321: yes, different disk too
[03:14:24] sphery: just wondered if that might be part of the recording-start-up problem
[03:14:35] psm321: "place" shouldnt be affected by disk right?
[03:14:52] sphery: I think place is mainly cpu bound

[03:15:26] psm321: sphery: i've traced the startup thing, basically the code assumes that a reschedule will take less than 30 seconds so starting from a minute before preroll, it runs reschedule and then it keeps running it repeatedly until theres less than 30 seconds left to record
[03:15:35] psm321: i havent figured out if theres a good reason for it yet
[03:16:21] sphery: should only reschedule the recordid's of the show being recording and only at recording start/end
[03:16:32] sphery: being recorded
[03:18:19] psm321: no it does id 0
[03:19:24] psm321: perhaps its changed in more recent code?
[03:19:24] sphery: ah, yeah, it's 0
[03:19:24] psm321: my copy is from over a year ago
[03:19:27] sphery: probably because of rollups
[03:19:39] sphery: (i.e. for multiple recordings starting at once)
[03:19:53] sphery: but 0 is basically re-run place and skip match
[03:20:14] sphery: so MySQL isn't really involved (match should be in the hundredths--or, worst case, tenths--of a second)
[03:20:36] sphery: it uses the matches found previously--as stored in recordmatch
[03:21:03] psm321: isnt the whole scheduling thing also doen through mysql
[03:21:12] sphery: only the match is
[03:21:23] sphery: the place phase is in code in myth
[03:21:23] psm321: oh

[03:21:32] psm321: i didnt realize that

[03:40:44] Captain_Murdoch: no, haven't done much except my proof of concept a long time ago that just prompted you as to whether to play an alternate file.
[03:41:26] SHADOW_V: anyone here familiar with debs and checkinstall
[03:42:05] dan__t: Hello.
[03:42:10] sphery: OK. I think he wants to store some info in recordedfile, so he'll need to make sure it's deleted with the recording (unless we do a recordedfile cleanup in the housekeeper, but that seems ugly as the only reason we have it for other recorded* is to catch the accidental orphans from when things go wrong)
[03:42:29] dan__t: So, yea, got this Hauppauge 1600 to work. Turns out, it was a bad card.
[03:43:03] SHADOW_V: nvm i got it woooooo
[03:43:19] Captain_Murdoch: recordedfile is easy to clean up in mainserver. I think part of the original intent was to store preview pngs in there also and be able to delete the png cleanup code.

[03:48:43] sphery: I think long before getting to this point--3300 recording rules--I'd have just modified the EPG code to display previously-recorded info.
[03:49:22] psm321: kormoc: actually with the disk i/o i'm more concerned about recorded/recordedprogram (can never remember which it is) — not scheduler related
[03:49:37] wagnerrp: yeah, at 3300 entries, youve got a lot of shows that will never make an appearance on TV again
[03:49:40] sphery: recorded is the table of recordings
[03:49:52] psm321: sorry, i've got 2 different trains of thought going here
[03:50:08] sphery: recordedprogram is the info that was in the program table for 3 weeks around the time of the airing of the show that was recorded
[03:50:16] psm321: i very much doubt that disk i/o is a significant factor in the reschedule
[03:50:25] dan__t: lirc isn't very fun, huh
[03:50:45] sphery: yeah, the BUSQ is probably the main issue for you--with 3300 rules
[03:51:13] sphery: and it's in place so you'll hit it for each resched
[03:51:16] psm321: but i suspect its a large factor in loading my huge recordings list when i go in to watch recordings (or when it reloads that list)
[03:51:34] sphery: how many recordigns do you have?
[03:51:44] sphery: I have 900ish and my Watch Recordings is fast
[03:52:22] psm321: many more
[03:52:37] sphery: wonder how many is many
[03:52:41] psm321: fine fine
[03:52:49] sphery: just ballpark
[03:52:49] psm321: ~50000
[03:52:51] ** psm321 ducks **
[03:52:53] sphery: wow
[03:53:12] sphery: yeah, you're definitely not in the "normal use case" category here
[03:53:29] iamlindoro: Uhhh
[03:53:30] psm321: i know
[03:53:35] iamlindoro: *how* long have you had this mythbox?
[03:53:45] psm321: 4.5 years
[03:53:49] psm321: well the install
[03:53:56] sphery: I've had mine since Feb 2006
[03:53:56] psm321: its gone thru variopus hardware
[03:54:02] iamlindoro: You've recording ~50 programs a day for > 3 years?
[03:54:07] iamlindoro: recorded
[03:54:08] sphery: oh, Feb 2004
[03:54:12] sphery: wow, time flies
[03:54:21] iamlindoro: that doesn't even make sense
[03:54:31] sphery: and since Feb 2004, I've recorded 9206 shows

[03:55:14] iamlindoro: Captain_Murdoch, heh
[03:55:14] dan__t: Anyone have the blaster that came with the Hauppauge 1600 working by chance? The only docs that the MythTV wiki has on this subject links to a page that's quite dated; I'm not sure that any of that info still applies.
[03:55:16] psm321: this is why i dont like to mention the number :)
[03:55:28] psm321: every time, it leads to a discussion of how crazy i am
[03:55:31] sphery: but we really want to know /how/ it happens
[03:55:34] psm321: which i know is true but still :)
[03:55:44] iamlindoro: I'd like to know how one justifies that to oneself
[03:55:46] psm321: sphery: severe packrat tendencies
[03:55:52] sphery: that would require a lot of capture cards and a lot of concurrent recordings
[03:55:54] iamlindoro: Well... at least that's honest
[03:56:18] psm321: a fear of not being able to find X again and wanting to watch it
[03:56:21] psm321: basically
[03:56:24] psm321: irrational i know
[03:56:24] sphery: and, really, a lot of users to actually be able to watch anywhere near that amount of tv
[03:56:39] psm321: i know
[03:56:46] psm321: i'll never watch most of it
[03:56:47] iamlindoro: 1642 days since install, means an average of 31 recordings per day
[03:56:51] sphery: (or some dedicated personal assistants to take care of everything while you do nothing but watch shows in 2x timestretch :)
[03:56:53] psm321: but when i want that 1 thing, i'll have it
[03:57:02] iamlindoro: and its 49,999 friends
[03:57:10] psm321: yes
[03:57:18] psm321: actually i'm still at around 49000
[03:57:37] sphery: How long does it take you to scroll to the first title starting with the letter B in your Watch Recordings page?  ;)
[03:57:38] iamlindoro: whew, I was starting to worry you were bats**t crazy
[03:57:56] iamlindoro: sphery, not a fair measure, that's all the numbers too ;)
[03:57:56] psm321: and when some day comcast pisses me off enough that i finally cancel i'll have years worth of material to still watch
[03:58:05] sphery: iamlindoro: good point
[03:58:35] psm321: sphery: depends, some days it seems to scroll a lot faster than others, not sure why
[03:58:35] sphery: in my day, people just horded canned goods and water for their fallout shelters
[03:58:37] wagnerrp: sounds more like decades worth of material
[03:58:46] sphery: now, they're hording TV :)
[03:59:09] psm321: maybe i should just make a webpage and point people at it when they ask

[04:03:55] SHADOW_V: i'm having trouble understanding why the instuctions in http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Streaming_to_iPod_touch_or_iPhone Expire transcoded recordings
[04:04:14] SHADOW_V: in deleting old files is saying to add another identical foreach loop
[04:07:15] SHADOW_V: did the author mean to change the extension to flv
[04:07:20] SHADOW_V: for the flash video file
[04:08:15] wagnerrp: well thats a bunch of crap...
[04:08:29] wagnerrp: the picture in mallrats that supposedly has a sailboat, has no sailboat
[04:08:34] wagnerrp: its just a bunch of random shapes
[04:08:41] Captain_Murdoch: SHADOW_V, he says if you are using mythflash just modify your existing script by adding another for loop to delete the iPod mp4 files.
[04:09:38] Captain_Murdoch: s/you are using/you are _already_ using/ and s/modify your existing/modify your _already_ existing/
[04:10:06] SHADOW_V: ohhh nvm i thought he meant flash within mythweb
[04:10:11] SHADOW_V: thats why i was confused
[04:10:46] sphery: yeah, the flash streaming in MythWeb is not called mythflash :)
[04:11:08] SHADOW_V: got confused ffmpeg has frustrated me for 4 hours
[04:12:01] wagnerrp: mythflash was some mythweb modification and accompanied user job (written for 0.18?) that would transcode an additional file into flash, which could subsequently be streamed through mythweb
[04:12:12] SHADOW_V: ah alright
[04:12:24] SHADOW_V: but other than that is the streaming to ipod wiki page good
[04:12:28] SHADOW_V: i am following it
[04:13:16] dan__t: *HEADDESK* *HEADDESK* *HEADDESK* *HEADDESK* *HEADDESK*
[04:13:27] SHADOW_V: i am almost done so hopefully that was the only issue
[04:13:51] wagnerrp: dan__t: yeah... LIRC can do that to people
[04:14:03] wagnerrp: its almost as bad as ALSA
[04:14:13] SHADOW_V: lirc causing more deaths than bsod's
[04:14:15] SHADOW_V: GASP
[04:14:32] dan__t: Actually.
[04:14:35] dan__t: It just might be worse.
[04:14:56] dan__t: Fry's Electronics is closed now... damnit.
[04:15:09] SHADOW_V: iamlindoro, what are you thoughts of the new monkeys island so far
[04:15:37] iamlindoro: SHADOW_V, busy week, I don't think I'm going to get to it until the weekend
[04:15:54] SHADOW_V: oh ok well gl hope you find the time for it
[04:16:06] iamlindoro: Hope so
[04:16:08] SHADOW_V: dont forget to put AA to 16x
[04:16:27] iamlindoro: I'd rather see sprites that a screen full of goo
[04:16:46] SHADOW_V: sprites?
[04:16:59] ** iamlindoro weeps for our youth **
[04:17:05] frogonwheels: indeed
[04:17:26] dan__t: So I hit 'Watch TV', and mythfrontend blinks once real quick, then goes back to the main menu
[04:17:33] dan__t: Anyone have any idea what that's all about?
[04:17:42] kormoc: I bet the logs do!
[04:17:47] SHADOW_V: dan__t, do you have everything setting in the be correctly
[04:17:50] dan__t: I see nothing.
[04:17:52] SHADOW_V: i agree with kormoc
[04:17:52] wagnerrp: dan__t: it means for whatever reason, mythfrontend cannot access the recording file
[04:17:58] wagnerrp: the tuner make be broken
[04:18:00] dan__t: As I understand, yes, SHADOW_V.
[04:18:06] wagnerrp: you may have a file permissions issue
[04:18:11] iamlindoro: The loggles, they do nosing!
[04:18:14] dan__t: I can see its output with mplayer, and have that device configured properly.
[04:18:25] dan__t: Let me play with increasing log verbosity... should have done that to begin with.
[04:18:41] iamlindoro: it's doubtful you need to increase verbosity
[04:18:49] iamlindoro: and far more likely you need to look at the right log
[04:18:53] wagnerrp: just check the backend logs
[04:18:57] wagnerrp: see why its not recording
[04:19:43] wagnerrp: if the backend can record the file, the frontend will play it (assuming no unforeseen bugs in mythtv)
[04:20:13] dan__t: Understood.
[04:27:45] SHADOW_V: in the streaming ti itouch page there is a part where it describes updating the recording.php page where it describes a line yet i have not found the exact line and was wondering if the line i found was in the correct place
[04:28:05] SHADOW_V: its in ln 367 of recorded.php
[04:28:15] SHADOW_V: of .21-fixes
[04:28:25] kormoc: nah
[04:28:41] kormoc: just have a .mp4 file called the same as the .mpeg file and the streaming interface will pick it up
[04:28:50] kormoc: ooh, you're 0.21?
[04:29:39] SHADOW_V: yeah .21
[04:30:10] SHADOW_V: was i wrong to follow this
[04:30:11] SHADOW_V: http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Streaming_to_iPod_touch_or_iPhone
[04:30:31] kormoc: So is anyone else surprised that Conan didn't talk about Billy May's death after he was just on the show?
[04:30:40] kormoc: nah, that's likely the best for 0.21
[04:30:49] SHADOW_V: oh ok thanks kormoc
[04:31:01] SHADOW_V: http://pastebin.com/d425611c

[06:09:52] SHADOW_V: thats what i thought

[06:25:19] SHADOW_V: p
[06:25:24] kormoc: it's the same
[06:25:38] kormoc: that's the value held by the properity

[06:27:45] SHADOW_V: because from what i can tell the encode? part works
[06:27:46] wagnerrp: thats because it wants to give you the web link
[06:27:50] wagnerrp: rather than the file link
[06:28:00] SHADOW_V: hmm

[06:34:56] wagnerrp: phunyguy: you have the shipping receipts? the shipped weight?
[06:35:15] wagnerrp: cases tend to be very light when empty
[06:36:06] wagnerrp: have him photograph everything that came in the box
[06:36:14] wagnerrp: find the weights of said components
[06:36:19] wagnerrp: compare them to the shipped weights
[06:36:24] wagnerrp: go to ebay with the information
[06:36:48] wagnerrp: you did get payment BEFORE shipping right?
[06:36:56] wagnerrp: or is paypal withholding the funds or something?
[06:39:34] wagnerrp: SHADOW_V: that seems to be considerably different from the files in trunk
[06:39:59] SHADOW_V: well my recorded.php is different than the one described on the page
[06:40:07] SHADOW_V: but i still managed to find the right spot to put it in
[06:43:00] phunyguy: yes wagnerrp – 27lbs
[06:43:17] phunyguy: paypal is holding the funds
[06:43:19] phunyguy: AGAIN
[06:43:29] phunyguy: they held it initially because its a high risk transaction
[06:43:37] wagnerrp: high risk?
[06:43:45] phunyguy: then when he disputed they reapplied the hold – only i had already transferred the money
[06:43:57] phunyguy: so now my paypal balance is a couple hundred in the neg.
[06:44:06] phunyguy: high risk – electronics
[06:45:24] wagnerrp: do they have a bad record? do you have a bad record?
[06:45:30] phunyguy: negative and negative
[06:45:36] wagnerrp: i mean at this point, its just your word against theirs
[06:45:41] wagnerrp: do they have any record?
[06:45:44] phunyguy: yes
[06:45:46] phunyguy: a very good one
[06:45:48] phunyguy: and so do i
[06:45:50] wagnerrp: huh...
[06:45:57] phunyguy: thats the odd part
[06:46:04] wagnerrp: is it full of bogus purchases?
[06:46:09] phunyguy: but he was also very rude to me about 10 minutes after delivery
[06:46:11] wagnerrp: ive seen that before
[06:46:17] phunyguy: could be – but they are well spaced apart
[06:46:26] phunyguy: over 6 years
[06:46:31] phunyguy: he sent me a nasty email
[06:46:35] phunyguy: "what the f..."
[06:46:41] phunyguy: cussing all over the place
[06:47:30] wagnerrp: i mean you have a record that everything was in there at the time of shipping
[06:47:38] phunyguy: just the weight
[06:47:40] SHADOW_V: wagnerrp, how do pass directory to the if loop i cant figure it out
[06:47:43] phunyguy: i know i shipped a 27lb package
[06:47:57] wagnerrp: well is he going to say you shipped a slug of lead in there?
[06:48:01] phunyguy: if UPS picks it up and its less than 25lbs.....
[06:48:13] phunyguy: and in his claim he didnt say anything was added to make it 27lbs
[06:48:18] phunyguy: he said it was empty.
[06:48:30] phunyguy: less than 27lbs i meant*
[06:48:32] wagnerrp: so if its empty, either hes lying, or UPS removed the contents
[06:48:38] phunyguy: exactly
[06:48:40] phunyguy: that is my hope.
[06:48:43] wagnerrp: thats all there is to it
[06:49:00] phunyguy: and if he fills it with junk to make weight... i call him on it.,
[06:49:04] phunyguy: due to initial claim.
[06:49:11] wagnerrp: if he didnt request shipping insurance, its up to him to take the claim with UPS
[06:49:36] phunyguy: it was included by UPS for free
[06:49:44] phunyguy: up to a certain amount i think
[06:49:46] wagnerrp: up to what amount?
[06:49:51] wagnerrp: IIRC, only $100
[06:49:59] phunyguy: but it had a declared value of $220 (auction amount)
[06:50:05] phunyguy: thats the other thing that irks me
[06:50:10] phunyguy: the case alone was worth $200
[06:50:15] phunyguy: Antec Fusion v2
[06:50:46] phunyguy: i sold that PC at a HUGE loss.
[06:50:54] phunyguy: AND i am getting ripped off.

[06:53:30] phunyguy: how much would you think a motherboard/cpu/ram/hard drive/CD drive/HD tuner would weigh?
[06:53:34] phunyguy: about 10 lbs?
[06:53:51] SHADOW_V1: about that
[06:53:51] wagnerrp: whatever the case doesnt weigh
[06:53:59] wagnerrp: im sure Antec has detailed specs on their site
[06:54:42] wagnerrp: 21.6lbs
[06:54:44] phunyguy: 21.6lb on Antec
[06:54:49] phunyguy: lol nice
[06:55:06] phunyguy: so at least 5 lbs
[06:55:07] wagnerrp: SHADOW_V: can we get a ruling on that one?
[06:55:32] wagnerrp: well beirdo says i won

[06:57:21] SHADOW_V1: wagnerrp, you win at guessing computer component weight over me
[06:58:23] SHADOW_V1: eh so any ideas to fix my problem
[06:58:29] SHADOW_V1: it seems like thats the only thing left
[06:58:32] wagnerrp: well i *thought* i had found a bug
[06:58:38] SHADOW_V1: when
[06:58:50] wagnerrp: announcing a FileTransfer socket on an existing Monitor socket caused a crash
[06:58:59] wagnerrp: but i cant seem to repeat it
[06:59:23] SHADOW_V1: ah yeah dont you love it when that happens
[06:59:48] wagnerrp: just complains that im announcing multiple times in the logs

[07:08:33] SHADOW_V1: how do i do this
[07:08:34] SHADOW_V1: if(file_exists(/in/this/dir . '.mp4'))
[07:08:42] SHADOW_V1: in php
[07:08:55] wagnerrp: what do you mean?
[07:09:24] wagnerrp: the problem seems to be that mythweb no longer uses a direct filename to access the recordings any longer
[07:10:12] wagnerrp: or at least $show->filename is no longer the proper variable you want to use
[07:10:40] SHADOW_V1: wagnerrp, yeah i know but if i can find a way to have the if loop do this if(file_exists(/mythweb/data/recordings/$file . '.mp4'))
[07:10:42] SHADOW_V1: it will work
[07:10:50] SHADOW_V1: or atleast i like to believe it will
[07:11:05] wagnerrp: that path is the web path, you want the file path
[07:11:34] wagnerrp: the period just means 'concatenate strings'
[07:11:43] SHADOW_V1: wagnerrp, that webpath is linked to the recording dir
[07:12:05] wagnerrp: so do '/<your storage path>/' . $file . '.mp4'
[07:12:16] wagnerrp: but dont expect that to work if you have more than one recording path
[07:12:24] SHADOW_V1: no i dont
[07:12:26] SHADOW_V1: :)
[07:18:51] SHADOW_V1: wagnerrp, the var dump of $file is string(29) "4294967295_20080708045714.mpg"
[07:19:03] SHADOW_V1: does the string info showup as well
[07:19:05] wagnerrp: as far as i can tell, the absolute file path is now only available through the perl bindings
[07:19:25] SHADOW_V1: so i have to use perl pindings to make it work
[07:19:26] SHADOW_V1: ?
[07:19:41] wagnerrp: no, more that you cannot make it work trivially
[07:19:53] SHADOW_V1: hmm
[07:20:05] SHADOW_V1: there must be a way to get it to work
[07:20:13] wagnerrp: you would have to write a bit of php to go figure out the file path, in the same manner that the perl scripts are currently doing
[07:20:51] SHADOW_V1: hmm well i do not know much php but if someone could nudge me in the right direction i would do it and update the wiki
[07:21:16] SHADOW_V1: wagnerrp, why wouldnt this work if(file_exists('/mythweb/data/recordings/'. $file . '.mp4'))
[07:21:39] SHADOW_V1: if var_dump($file); gives string(29) "4294967295_20080708045714.mpg"
[07:22:10] wagnerrp: do you have a folder /mythweb/data/recordings?
[07:22:36] SHADOW_V1: yes
[07:22:49] SHADOW_V1: thats symlinked to my recording directory
[07:22:58] wagnerrp: meaning, you type in 'ls /mythweb/data/recordings', and it wont tell you that folder doesnt exist?
[07:23:19] SHADOW_V1: :/var/www/mythweb/data/recordings$ ls *.mp4
[07:23:19] SHADOW_V1: 2113_20090709203000.mpg.mp4 7108_20081020163000.mpg.mp4
[07:23:44] wagnerrp: so... you dont have a '/mythweb/data/recordings' then
[07:24:02] SHADOW_V1: why dont it
[07:24:04] SHADOW_V1: i*
[07:24:08] SHADOW_V1: its there
[07:24:24] wagnerrp: type in that command, and tell me what it says
[07:25:16] SHADOW_V1: within www root?
[07:25:27] wagnerrp: just run that command on the terminal
[07:25:32] SHADOW_V1: i get it
[07:26:01] wagnerrp: so you understand why it wont work now?
[07:26:05] SHADOW_V1: but when a webpage runs that it only access the browsers root directory
[07:26:40] wagnerrp: client-side scripting can only access files the browser makes available
[07:26:52] wagnerrp: server-side scripting runs across the full filesystem
[07:27:07] wagnerrp: or a limited filesystem if the webserver runs chrooted
[07:27:21] wagnerrp: but it is not limited to the web root
[07:27:44] SHADOW_V1: wagnerrp, so if i did /var/www/mythweb/data/recordings it would work
[07:27:47] wagnerrp: '/' in php is the same as '/' to any other program
[07:27:51] wagnerrp: yes, that would work
[07:27:59] SHADOW_V1: ah ok
[07:28:38] SHADOW_V1: F yeah it works
[07:28:39] SHADOW_V1: hmm
[07:28:49] SHADOW_V1: now i have to figure out a way so i can update it on the wiki
[07:28:53] SHADOW_V1: and have it work for others
[07:29:28] wagnerrp: IMO, the whole thing is broken
[07:29:48] SHADOW_V1: because of how it pulls the recording info?
[07:29:50] wagnerrp: if you wanted to fix it properly, you would write a perl handler which would pipe the file through
[07:30:03] wagnerrp: rather than have the server access the file directly
[07:30:09] SHADOW_V1: hmm right
[07:30:34] wagnerrp: because requiring people to link in the recordings folder limits them to a single recording disk
[07:30:35] SHADOW_V1: do you think i would get help if i did that because i am fully willing to do it but am going to need some help
[07:30:50] SHADOW_V1: right
[07:31:03] SHADOW_V1: if you use the built in way to handle files there is less fussing with that
[07:32:19] wagnerrp: im thinking the link would be a static link to the file
[07:33:17] wagnerrp: something like http://.../pl/stream/<chanid>/<recordtime>.mp4
[07:33:40] SHADOW_V1: right
[07:34:00] SHADOW_V1: i think i may have some time to look into it tomorrow
[07:34:02] wagnerrp: the perl script would check for the file, if it existed, it would cat it through... if not, it would transcode on-the-fly like the flash stuff
[07:34:18] wagnerrp: you could probably copy-paste most of the asx streaming stuff
[07:34:27] SHADOW_V1: hmm
[07:34:28] SHADOW_V1: really
[07:34:48] SHADOW_V1: because all the solutions i have seen thus far need to have user jobs and do transcoding then stream
[07:34:50] SHADOW_V1: nothing on the fly

[07:45:04] dan__t: lirc makes baby jesus cry
[07:45:17] wagnerrp: anyway, just for kicks
[07:45:38] wagnerrp: copy the 'direct download' button, copy it into the address bar, and add .mp4
[07:45:42] wagnerrp: see what happens
[07:47:18] SHADOW_V1: it works except the one that comes up is .mpg
[07:47:41] lyricnz (lyricnz!n=simonrob@203.171.196.217) has quit ()
[07:51:11] wagnerrp: seems all you have to do is change the userjob to drop the ',mpg' from the filename
[07:51:29] wagnerrp: and then use the built in mp4 file stream capacity
[07:51:44] wagnerrp: make sure its in the same directory as the original recording and youre golden
[07:52:22] SHADOW_V1: hmm so it seems like with some mods to plstream itll work
[07:52:33] wagnerrp: no mods needed
[07:52:48] wagnerrp: just change the userjob to drop the '.mpg' from the filename
[07:52:57] wagnerrp: so its just <chanid>_<starttime>.mp4
[07:53:02] SHADOW_V1: and how will it take care of transcoding it
[07:53:15] wagnerrp: the userjob will handle that like normal
[07:53:42] SHADOW_V1: itll do mp4 and h.264
[07:53:44] SHADOW_V1: ?
[07:53:53] wagnerrp: whatever the userjob is programmed to do
[07:54:02] SHADOW_V1: could i give a resolution to do
[07:54:08] wagnerrp: whatever the userjob is programmed to do
[07:54:36] SHADOW_V1: hmm so using the user job i setup?
[07:54:36] wagnerrp: the perl streaming stuff in mythweb does nothing more than dump the file through the web server

[07:55:36] wagnerrp: copy/paste into stream_mp4.pl, and change the ffmpeg command as desired
[07:56:20] SHADOW_V1: great i cant wait to get started
[07:56:43] dan__t: Alright, Showgirls is on.
[07:56:52] dan__t: Hmmm, fight with lirc, or watch Showgirls. Gee.
[07:56:59] SHADOW_V1: lirc
[07:57:19] wagnerrp: you can probably drop most of that stuff, if you just set the width/height/bitrate statically
[07:58:04] dan__t: lirc is generally a pain in the ass, right?
[07:58:29] SHADOW_V1: right which i would do since i know what the itouch can handle

[13:24:32] mazda01: t show any input from my remote?
[13:24:40] juski: mazda01: generally means lirc isn't running

[13:24:50] clever: something between irw and the remote is broken
[13:25:35] juski: use 'mode2' to find out if the receiver is actually working when lirc is running
[13:25:49] mazda01: juski, i am using a PVR-350 ir receiver. it worked before I upgraded. lirc is definitely running, there is /dev/lirc0 /dev/lirc1 /dev/lircd0 and /dev/lircd1
[13:26:19] mazda01: could it be a hardware.conf that got changed during upgrade. I just don't know what to look for?
[13:26:19] clever: i dont think i get that far
[13:26:29] clever: and im not shure if mode2 would work with the pvr receiver

[13:27:47] clever: yeah irw will work more then mode2
[13:28:17] mazda01: juski, funny. I unfortunately didn't create a backup. but you I am guessing you already assumed that.
[13:28:27] juski: hauppauge/lircd.conf.hauppauge ... got that file?
[13:28:32] clever: i allways do the upgrades from console

[14:49:19] rah: the documentation tells me that I should use mythfilldatabase
[14:49:35] rah: I'm running subversion mythtv
[14:49:43] rah: do I need to use mythfilldatabase?
[14:49:53] stuarta: do you want guide data?
[14:49:54] wagnerrp: what is 'subversion mythtv'?
[14:50:18] rah: I was told in here that it isn't necessary to run mythfilldatabase and that the documentation is out of date
[14:50:18] gbee: an underground branch of mythtv
[14:50:30] rah: stuarta: yes, I want guide data
[14:50:33] gbee: dedicated to bring down the 'establishment'
[14:50:41] wagnerrp: i mean there are branches on subversion all the way back to 0.18
[14:50:42] stuarta: you don't need MFDB if and only iff you use EIT data instead
[14:50:45] wagnerrp: what are you running?
[14:50:52] gbee: rah: mythfrontend --version
[14:51:15] rah: stuarta: can I have both?
[14:51:28] rah: gbee?
[14:51:29] wagnerrp: no
[14:51:48] wagnerrp: you do not want to mix listing providers on a single source
[14:51:53] stuarta: for different sources you can
[14:52:02] stuarta: because then it breaks
[14:52:09] wagnerrp: different listing providers will provide slightly different information about episodes
[14:52:11] stuarta: if it breaks, you get to keep both pieces
[14:52:16] gbee: rah: several different versions of mythtv are kept in the Subversion repo, so that doesn't tell us which version you are actually using
[14:52:20] wagnerrp: it will break the previous recording checking
[14:52:27] rah: gbee: trunk
[14:52:32] stuarta: it basically goes to shit
[14:53:00] rah: ok, it sounds like it doesn't cope well with using both
[14:53:05] rah: how do I use EIT data?
[14:53:19] wagnerrp: you can run mythtv with mixed providers if you only run 'new episodes only', but otherwise its broken (and cant really be fixed)
[14:53:43] rah: wagnerrp: I'd imagine it could be fixed
[14:54:06] wagnerrp: mythtv checks repeats based off the description string
[14:54:08] stuarta: not easily
[14:54:15] wagnerrp: different providers will change the description string
[14:54:33] stuarta: you use EIT by configuring it as the data source
[14:54:36] wagnerrp: the only way to fix it would be to make mythtv actually able to understand the description it is reading
[14:54:43] rah: stuarta: and then what?
[14:54:51] stuarta: run it
[14:54:55] rah: run what?
[14:55:13] stuarta: the backend
[14:55:20] rah: I did that before
[14:55:29] stuarta: the it'll go and lurk on all your channels and collect EIT data
[14:55:31] rah: I didn't get any data
[14:55:39] stuarta: did you have any channels?
[14:55:43] rah: yes, of course
[14:56:00] stuarta: did you go through steps 1 – 6 of mythtv-setup in order?
[14:56:17] rah: I would imagine so
[14:56:29] stuarta: you should know
[14:56:37] stuarta: people have a habit of trying to skip items
[14:56:50] stuarta: this results in badly configured myth which won't work
[14:57:09] stuarta: you need 1. a data source configured for EIT
[14:57:25] stuarta: 2. that datasource connected to the input card
[14:57:37] stuarta: 3. scan for channels on that datasource
[14:57:57] rah: I did that
[14:58:03] rah: I didn't get any data
[14:58:19] stuarta: how long did you leave it?
[14:58:23] rah: days
[14:58:49] rah: I hope it works this time
[14:59:23] stuarta: sphery: isn't there something on the cardinput to turn on if you want EIT??
[14:59:35] wagnerrp: how do you force an endline in a ticket on trac?
[14:59:42] stuarta: html
[14:59:45] stuarta: <p>
[14:59:57] wagnerrp: ah... tried <br> and it was ignored
[15:00:50] wagnerrp: nope, thats ignored too
[15:00:53] sphery: stuarta: there's a setting on the input connections page, IIRC (though I think it's stored in some dtv table or something...)

[15:04:08] sphery: stuarta: also, mkrufky was playing with EIT (though US-style--probably from cable) and found it only worked after he enabled Open DVB card on demand)
[15:04:33] stuarta: thats card specific
[15:04:51] sphery: oh, seems it needs to be enabled for the HVR-1600 :)
[15:05:09] stuarta: rah: there should also be an option on the card configuration to allow EIT
[15:05:10] sphery: you're right, too--I think it's in the capture card page, not input connections
[15:05:22] rah: stuarta: yes, I seem to recall enabling such an option
[15:05:28] stuarta: please check
[15:05:42] rah: this isn't the setup I have now
[15:05:49] rah: it was a setup I gave up on before
[15:06:00] rah: the setup I have now isn't set up yet :)

[15:06:33] ** stuarta demands booze **
[15:06:56] ** rah gives stuarta some Erdinger **
[15:07:06] rah: I just wanted to know how it should be done
[15:07:11] rah: because it isn't documented
[15:07:12] stuarta: hrm, weiss beer....
[15:07:21] rah: which I recalled from when I gave up before
[15:07:33] rah: you've told me know
[15:07:39] rah: so I shouldn't have any problems
[15:07:42] rah: thank you
[15:07:44] stuarta: see i thought you were having trouble setting it up
[15:08:23] ** wagnerrp loves weiss bier, admits beer isnt supposed to be that easy to drink **
[15:08:27] sphery: rah: just make sure you compile it properly--i.e. without --disable-audio-oss if you're building on GNU/Linux--otherwise, even if you get it set up, it will be broken
[15:08:31] rah: not yet, although no doubt I will :)
[15:08:45] sphery: OSS has to be enabled on GNU/Linux or you'll have breakage
[15:08:46] rah: sphery: why will it be broken with --disable-audio-oss?
[15:08:48] stuarta: weiss beer disagrees with me
[15:08:56] gbee: sphery: it shouldn't as it happens, since he's using DVB-T
[15:08:57] jpabq (jpabq!n=jpabq@71-38-213-181.albq.qwest.net) has joined #mythtv-users
[15:09:02] sphery: because it won't be able to put sound in any software-encoded video--including transcodes
[15:09:12] sphery: mythtranscode will be broken
[15:09:19] rah: sphery: why does it need OSS for that?
[15:09:35] sphery: because the code for using the ALSA API to do that isn't in
[15:09:43] sphery: and note that it's /only/ the use of the API
[15:09:48] rah: O_O
[15:09:50] sphery: it has /no/ effect on what you need installed on your system
[15:09:56] sphery: i.e. you don't have to install OSS
[15:10:07] ** wagnerrp gets lost in configure **
[15:10:10] sphery: (though, really, OSS4 kicks ALSA's but)
[15:10:34] ** rah <- JACK developer **
[15:10:41] rah: OSS4 sucks, I'm afraid :)
[15:11:00] stuarta: feel free to fix myth's jack support then
[15:11:02] sphery: but aren't you disabling JACK, too?
[15:11:07] stuarta: that's spectacularly crap
[15:11:20] rah: I'd rather not
[15:11:28] sphery: even if OSS4 is bad, it's leaps and bounds above ALSA
[15:11:29] rah: myth's code doesn't agree with me :)
[15:11:45] sphery: Now, kernel OSS sucks, but OSS4 is very different
[15:12:11] rah: I suspect we have very different expectations
[15:12:12] gbee: and very much better
[15:12:28] rah: and different ideas about what constitutes sucking
[15:12:33] jams: heck OSS3 was better then alsa
[15:12:47] rah: define "better" :)
[15:13:11] gbee: rah: yeah I'd expect that someone who has a use for Jack would probably see things very differently from the general population, you have very different requirements
[15:13:49] stuarta: the howto documentation on EIT is basically non existant
[15:14:02] rah: http://pkl.net/~node/teasel/linux-audio-03.jpeg
[15:14:06] sphery: anyway, with http://svn.mythtv.org/trac/ticket/3405 , you /might/ be able to configure without oss API usage, but as it's not even in trunk, I'm guessing that the owner has some planned changes before it will go in
[15:14:09] wagnerrp: gbee: at least theyre on the same side of things as far as pulseaudio
[15:14:20] rah: I woud be surprised if OSS was usable for that
[15:14:20] gbee: OSS4 is far superior to Alsa for users who just want audio which is easy to setup and use, Alsa is far from being that
[15:14:57] sphery: ALSA seems to be a lot like Compiz--a "because we can" kind of design
[15:15:38] wagnerrp: wait... 'Headphones input'?
[15:15:56] rah: sphery: actually, it was more "because OSS can't cut it"
[15:16:25] rah: wagnerrp: it's a bus; it has input but it's only used for output
[15:16:43] sphery: I'll agree that the OSS in the kernel--which was a snapshot of an old OSS--couldn't cut it
[15:16:51] gbee: I've never seen software which is as prevalent as Alsa and yet so obviously not designed to be user-friendly (myth comes close at times ;) )
[15:16:52] rah: wagnerrp: that control allows you to adjust the input
[15:16:59] sphery: and, if licensing of OSS were different, there may have been more push to fix OSS in kernel
[15:17:08] sphery: but instead, a bunch of people decided to reinvent the wheel
[15:17:20] gbee: and here we're really talking about the userspace side of alsa, not the drivers
[15:17:26] sphery: and, OSS development continued, then it got GPL'ed, and now it's actually nice
[15:18:18] rah: sphery: bear in mind that, at the time ALSA was created, the only thing OSS could do was accept write() after open()ing /dev/dspX
[15:18:32] gbee: though the OSS4 drivers are nice from a user perspective too, i.e. they actually work when Alsa drivers sometimes don't
[15:18:36] sphery: yeah, when ALSA started, OSS was awful
[15:18:41] rah: I don't even know if it's capable of anything more now
[15:19:05] sphery: I just dislike the whole "start over from scratch" approach
[15:19:23] wagnerrp: any way in a config.ep to figure out what compiler its trying to use?

[15:20:28] rah: think of it like this: you have 1000 nails to knock in, and someone offers you a pair of scissors
[15:20:34] sphery: rah: anyway, for now, either don't use --disable-audio-oss or apply the patch on #3405 (and cross your fingers and hope for the best), but if you have any problems with audio, don't report bugs if you used --disable-audio-oss :)
[15:20:49] sphery: instead, you could fix the patch on #3405 and submit an updated one
[15:20:55] rah: you look at the scissors and think "how the fuck is this supposed to help?"
[15:20:58] sphery: problems with audio would include transcodes without audio
[15:20:59] rah: then you go and buy a hammer
[15:21:26] rah: scissors = OSS, hammer = ALSA
[15:21:28] sphery: or get a committee of people to design a hammer which ends up being a pile driver
[15:21:43] sphery: :)
[15:21:53] rah: actually, there was one main guy and then another guy came along and started to help
[15:22:24] rah: because he realised, actually, if he did it Right, he could have a pile driver capable of banging in 1,000,000m nails
[15:22:32] sphery: ah, don't know it's dev history, but it just looked a lot like design by committee
[15:23:07] sphery: anyway, Myth uses ALSA for output without problems
[15:23:14] sphery: Myth only uses OSS API for input
[15:23:22] sphery: on GNU/Linux, that is
[15:23:29] rah: if you don't use --disable-audio-oss, go it, thanks
[15:23:35] rah: s/go/got/
[15:24:05] sphery: yeah, with --disable-audio-oss, it uses nothing for audio input, so you get no sound if myth encodes/transcodes things  :)

[15:34:41] iamlindoro: gbee: The change you committed for the item detail screen-- trying to understand-- So now it can never be a popup on top of the video menu? I would have thought the popup stack would be better as one could either make it a popup (and show the screen behind it) or just add a background if they wanted it to be a different screen
[15:35:06] iamlindoro: I may just misunderstand the change, though
[15:37:57] iamlindoro: (actually fairly sure I'm misunderstanding it, but if you'd care to set me straight...)
[15:43:14] gbee: iamlindoro: which stack it is in doesn't affect how it appears, you can make any screen appear to look like a popup (less than fullscreen)
[15:43:56] iamlindoro: gbee: I see, thought it might be that-- So what does the change... erm... change?
[15:45:29] gbee: the different stacks are more practical, they allow the main screen to change or even continue to be used when a popup is on-screen i.e. the popups aren't modal, they don't block usage of the main window

[15:47:39] gbee: that's less important for most menu popups, but for stuff like the miniplayer where you might want it to appear on screen all the time but without interfering with navigation through the frontend

[16:09:54] SHADOW_V: i am allowed to sleep
[16:09:58] SHADOW_V: or atleast so i though
[16:10:20] wagnerrp: anyway, you might want to make a new script all together, name it stream_ipod.pl or something
[16:10:31] wagnerrp: and change handler.pl to grab off the .ipod extension
[16:10:56] wagnerrp: since the streamed filename is independent of the web path
[16:11:02] SHADOW_V: wagnerrp, yeah after i eat i am going to start working on it so i can update the wiki make and make it more than a crude hack
[16:11:45] wagnerrp: then you just need to figure out the ffmpeg settings you need, and replace them in the existing stream_flv.pl

[16:26:03] iamlindoro: mkrufky: A common problem w/ WMP is that windows doesn't come with a mpeg-2 decoder
[16:26:06] sphery: but, generally, it's "more available" for other apps than without that option :)
[16:26:09] mkrufky: AndyCap: ...and this is not a real server that ill ever use to watch tv — im using it for testing only
[16:26:24] mkrufky: iamlindoro: lacking mpeg-2 --- that's the problem then
[16:26:24] wagnerrp: iamlindoro: i thought starting with Vista, they did
[16:26:25] mkrufky: wow
[16:26:29] iamlindoro: mkrufky: But there are a fair number of free-to-download ones that may make the difference
[16:26:42] mkrufky: umm... i can play mpeg2 in graphedit
[16:26:44] AndyCap: hehe, I'd have thought WMP11 would have gotten mpeg2
[16:26:47] wagnerrp: im fairly sure 7 has a decoder at least
[16:26:48] sphery: or install any DVD player app
[16:27:04] SHADOW_V: wagnerrp, i will test that for ya
[16:27:05] AndyCap: since dvd is pretty common now in the days of XP SP3 and WMP11
[16:27:13] iamlindoro: I had this same discussion with the ffmpeg folks 6 months or so ago.. let me see if I can find the KB article
[16:27:14] wagnerrp: or ffdshow... veritable swiss army knife
[16:27:15] sphery: why would they put in an MPEG-2 decoder? They can just continue to require WMV
[16:27:28] mkrufky: is microsoft denying the need for mpeg2 ?? all of us StupidAmericans use that as the digital tv standard!!
[16:27:50] AndyCap: but, but,but SMTPE said VC-1 was cool
[16:27:55] sphery: well, for TV you need Windows Media Center edition
[16:28:06] mkrufky: iamlindoro: do you recommend any particular download?
[16:28:09] sphery: like someone should be allowed to watch TV on a computer
[16:28:12] iamlindoro: I expect it has more to do with not wanting to pay the license fee when you can charge for it
[16:28:19] sphery: yeah
[16:28:30] iamlindoro: mkrufky: ffdshowis proably the gold standard
[16:28:37] sphery: I remember seeing a page on the WMP "site" that allowed buying the MPEG-2 decoder
[16:28:39] mkrufky: ok.... here's the same problem from a different angle.....
[16:28:39] iamlindoro: ugh, bad type me do
[16:28:43] sphery: was a while ago, though
[16:29:08] wagnerrp: http://sourceforge.net/projects/ffdshow-tryout/files/
[16:29:14] mkrufky: mythtv itself has uPNP server built in......... from what i have seen in OTHER upnp servers, the server transcodes on the fly if needed, in order to satisfy a renderer
[16:29:21] mkrufky: iss there a plan for that ?
[16:29:30] sphery: http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia . . . x#DVDDecoder
[16:29:31] mkrufky: thanks wagnerrp & iamlindoro :-)
[16:29:38] mkrufky: ...and sphery :-)
[16:29:42] iamlindoro: np
[16:29:43] sphery: Seems Vista Home Premium and Vista Ultimate have DVD playback
[16:29:53] sphery: Vista Ultimate includes MCE
[16:30:03] sphery: surprised they put it in VIsta Home Premium
[16:30:05] wagnerrp: ive not heard of anyone planning to write in transcoding support for the upnp server
[16:30:07] AndyCap: is there a good protocol for negotiating transcoding in upnp?
[16:30:23] gbee: the active EIT scan makes a mockery of "open on demand" but that's just the way it is, both settings have different aims, the lock exists to prevent another application using the DVB device when mythbackend is expecting to start a recording
[16:30:23] SHADOW_V: is there a way to vew programs in mythweb by category
[16:30:24] mkrufky: i believe that there is, i am just not personally familiar with it
[16:30:31] mkrufky: (protocol)
[16:30:47] wagnerrp: AFAIK, the client device is supposed to rattle off a list of capable formats
[16:30:48] AndyCap: everything I know of upnp comes from the I hate dlna and upnp blog post. :P
[16:30:56] mkrufky: lol
[16:31:22] gbee: the active EIT scan can at least be disabled (some drivers are too unstable to support 24/7 use of the device and constant channel changes
[16:31:26] wagnerrp: although i believe standard convention is just to transcode everything to mpeg2 as a lowest common codec
[16:31:42] rah: O_o
[16:31:48] rah: I don't like the sound of EIT scanning
[16:32:38] AndyCap: http://gxben.wordpress.com/2008/08/24/why-do- . . . col-so-much/
[16:33:12] gbee: mkrufky: there have been plans for realtime transcoding etc for a while, but so far they haven't got very far because those involved were too busy – Captain_Murdoch and xris both have an interest
[16:34:23] gbee: xris' wants it for the flash player in mythweb, Captain_Murdoch started working on it and thinks he'll have some free time in about a month
[16:34:47] wagnerrp: gbee: i suppose that instead of using ffmpeg directly?
[16:35:07] gbee: wagnerrp: yeah, that was only ever done as a proof of concept
[16:35:40] mkrufky: gbee: that effort would benefit iphone streaming, too
[16:35:43] wagnerrp: penny-arcade is bugged... two comics on one page

[17:19:49] RDV_Linux: iamlindoro: Does it matter which BE the Jamu's scheduled and recorded (option -MW) runs on or should the graphics only be downloaded for the specific tuners/recorders of a specific BE? Right now if you ran jamu's -MW on more than one BE identical set of graphics would be downloaded.
[17:20:54] Ryushin (Ryushin!i=proxy@windwalker.openinnovations.com) has joined #mythtv-users
[17:21:32] iamlindoro: RDV_Linux: Good question, the Watch Recordings Fanart/etc. *only* work using the local setting at the moment
[17:21:42] Spida: wagnerrp: from where do they ship?
[17:21:44] iamlindoro: RDV_Linux: It does not hunt the storage groups
[17:22:08] iamlindoro: (though ultimately I would like it to do so)
[17:22:40] RDV_Linux: Yes but if you ran Jamu on your master BE but the recorded program was on a slave BE would you still get the graphics?
[17:23:40] iamlindoro: I don't know, as I'm not familiar with Jamu's internals-- guess it depends on what you're parsing to get current/upcoming recordings
[17:23:44] wagnerrp: Spida: US only im guessing
[17:24:02] wagnerrp: it seems my MBE once again has a purpose
[17:24:09] iamlindoro: RDV_Linux: Minimally for any Watch Recordings graphics to *work* on a frontend they need to be locally mounted
[17:24:19] Spida: ok, wrong continent.
[17:24:19] wagnerrp: the HDHR patches partially fixed recording on freebsd
[17:24:25] iamlindoro: RDV_Linux: Whether Jamu parses all the backends to pull in graphics, I don't know
[17:24:58] wagnerrp: i can record just fine, but if i try to change channels in livetv, i get a couple frames before it freezes, and complains about too many buffering retries
[17:25:08] RDV_Linux: Jamu is getting ALL Scheduled and Recorded regardless of which BE the recording will ultimately be stored on.
[17:25:51] iamlindoro: RDV_Linux: In that case, it shouldn't matter where the recorded program is at all, right?

[17:26:29] iamlindoro: It'll download the images to the local setting, and for those images to work in Watch Recordings, no matter where it may be, they must currently be locally mounted
[17:26:33] wagnerrp: sid3windr: yeah

[17:27:14] sid3windr: searching "prolific" does not yield results, wagnerrp :p
[17:27:21] RDV_Linux: iamlindoro: Locally mounted on the BE or FE?
[17:28:13] iamlindoro: RDV_Linux: For it to display, it must be locally mounted in the location matching the Utilities/Setup->Setup->Media Settings->video Settings->General fanart/etc. location on the frontend
[17:28:29] iamlindoro: for it to download, I expect the same is true for wherever Jamu is being run
[17:29:33] wagnerrp: sid3windr: pl2302, pl2303... fairly well supported under linux
[17:29:43] wagnerrp: those happen to be pl2303 devices
[17:30:09] sid3windr: :)
[17:30:50] RDV_Linux: Thanks I thought it might have been from the "local" perspective of the BE and the graphics got streamed. That means that it does not matter where jamu -MW is run as long as the FE has access and settings to the graphics directories.
[17:31:11] wagnerrp: and if theyre not... well i wasted $12, or the cost of four new movies
[17:31:20] iamlindoro: RDV_Linux: Correct
[17:31:37] iamlindoro: RDV_Linux: At least, until all the pieces fall together such that it's possible to do the hunt in Storage Groups
[17:31:53] superdump (superdump!n=rob@unaffiliated/superdump) has joined #mythtv-users
[17:32:11] iamlindoro: RDV_Linux: But that may be a while as nobody but me seems to have the time/interest in making the whole experience consistent :)
[17:32:18] RDV_Linux: Are the SG groups for graphics just placeholders at this point and not used in any actual processing BE or FE?
[17:32:26] iamlindoro: They work
[17:33:00] iamlindoro: DB info needs to be properly formatted, though, and the file browsers for them can't use SGs yet, so they might as well not exist
[17:33:35] iamlindoro: so what I'm saying is, if you manually edit your records to make them relative paths (relative to the root of the SG dir) and they exist on the host for that record, they'll stream
[17:34:00] iamlindoro: but that's an extremely user-unfriendly way of working, so for all intents and purposes, one might as well consider them not to work
[17:34:03] wagnerrp: manually editing usually amounts to a single 'string/replace' command in mysql
[17:34:23] RDV_Linux: I asked as even when I had SG's for all graphics the download metadata function only put absolute paths in videometadata.
[17:34:35] iamlindoro: RDV_Linux: correct
[17:34:48] iamlindoro: Nothing but loading them uses SGs
[17:35:06] iamlindoro: so getting them into the DB w/ proper formatting is an exercise left to the user... which is bad
[17:35:11] RDV_Linux: Thanks very much. You have clarified allot,

[17:35:55] wagnerrp: i thought JAMU did all database insertion manually, outside of myth's grabber routines
[17:35:59] iamlindoro: IMO if it doesn't get fixed in time for .22 (and I expect it won't) I think the creation of those SGs should be disabled for the release
[17:36:09] sphery: I agree
[17:36:23] sphery: as it will cause more problems than "the old way"
[17:36:27] iamlindoro: yep
[17:36:56] sphery: Though, really, people could manually define them
[17:37:28] iamlindoro: yes, but that at least requires a user that knows that they're doing (and so are not a problem) or one who thinks they know what they are doing (in which case they get ridicule)
[17:37:29] sphery: (only difference between a normal SG and a "special" SG is that the special one is defined by code, so can be overridden on a slave even without first defining it on the master)
[17:37:33] sphery: right
[17:37:45] RDV_Linux: wagnerrp: Jamu was meant to emulate the grabber / metadata download processing on a mass scale.
[17:38:06] sphery: so that's what I mean, comment the names in kSpecialGroups and anyone wanting to use it can do it manually--after some research
[17:38:24] iamlindoro: sphery: exactly what I had in mind
[17:38:32] iamlindoro: leave what functionality exists, just prevent their creation
[17:38:36] sphery: yep
[17:38:39] sphery: good plan
[17:38:40] iamlindoro: at least, through the UI
[17:38:55] sphery: U(and)I are on the same page
[17:39:17] wagnerrp: RDV_Linux: right, what im saying is that youre not using the mythtv metadata insertion stuff
[17:39:27] wagnerrp: so you could support using the storage groups independently if you choose
[17:40:08] wagnerrp: in the export script, i just do a quick lookup for a 'Videos' SG
[17:40:27] wagnerrp: if it exists, i set the filename to the relative path... if not, i use an absolute path
[17:42:11] wagnerrp: if the video SGs do get disabled for the release, then they just wont exist in the table, and you know to use the old method
[17:43:58] RDV_Linux: wagnerrp: Exactly I have a design change that can dynamically recognize the use of SG groups and absolute paths and deal with any of Jamu's current processing without recking anything. The limitation is if you wanted to use Jamu to do nightly maintenance then you need to run it on each of your backends as Jamu will ignore video files that are not on the BE it is running on.
[17:45:34] RDV_Linux: I wonder what percentage of mythtv users actually have multiple BEs.
[17:45:51] iamlindoro: probably fairly sizable but certainly not the majority
[17:46:03] iamlindoro: I'd wildly guess at 15–20%
[17:46:53] RDV_Linux: That would mean the limitation would not hit too many users,

[18:24:37] kormoc: sphery, yes, I broke it by always going to the master for thumbnail request rather then detecting which backend has it and going there
[18:25:00] sphery: oh...
[18:25:17] kormoc: the getThumbnail code needs to talk directly to slave backends, I was under the mistaken impression that if the MBE couldn't do it, it'd ask the sbe and pass it around
[18:25:24] sphery: but it worked before, so I guess you changed it in the classes conversion or something?
[18:25:28] kormoc: Yeah
[18:25:33] sphery: I see

[18:26:45] sphery: (red = not right, blue = something I might be willing to work on a patch for)
[18:27:03] sphery: guess I get a bit out of date when not running my production systems on trunk
[18:27:05] kormoc: All we need to do is add in the SBE hostname as a parm fo MythBackend::find($sbe_here)
[18:27:52] sphery: and the code that asks for the preview has a programinfo with the hostname, already?
[18:28:06] sphery: i.e. code that calls get_preview_pixmap()
[18:28:08] kormoc: nah, it uses chanid/starttime
[18:28:30] kormoc: we just need to query the record(ed?) table to see which be has it
[18:28:41] sphery: ok
[18:29:00] sphery: query recorded versus GET_RECORDING in proto?
[18:29:05] kormoc: whichever
[18:29:25] kormoc: ahh
[18:29:27] kormoc: actually
[18:29:35] kormoc: just change it to
[18:29:43] kormoc: MythBackend::find($this->hostname)
[18:29:47] kormoc: that should do the trick
[18:29:52] sphery: cool
[18:30:10] kormoc: If you can test and let me know if it works or not, I'll commit that today
[18:30:29] sphery: I don't have multiple backends available on my trunk/dev system...
[18:30:30] sphery: I'
[18:30:39] sphery: ll see if I can find someone else to test, though
[18:30:54] sphery: Guess I could post your patch and ask the submitter to test
[18:31:45] kormoc: well, if it works with a single backend, it should work with multiple
[18:31:51] kormoc: you do have one more be then I do at the moment ;)
[18:31:58] sphery: heh
[18:32:55] SHADOW_V: kormoc, if you dont mind me asking what did you use to serve up the .mp4 files to the itouch did you throw a link to them in mythweb
[18:34:07] kormoc: SHADOW_V, if you were using trunk, it has a ipod mode that will serve them up

[18:45:57] kormoc: userjob
[18:46:03] SHADOW_V: mkrufky, nvm
[18:46:11] kormoc: but if it has a .mp4 that's iphone compatable, you can just stream it right in
[18:46:20] kormoc: I'm hoping to get the on the fly in soon, but we'll see
[18:46:36] SHADOW_V: right well i was planning on doing some work on it
[18:46:46] SHADOW_V: should i get trunk and work on that ?
[18:46:54] SHADOW_V: or get it working with .21
[18:46:57] kormoc: trunk
[18:47:01] kormoc: 0.21 is useless at this point
[18:47:25] SHADOW_V: alright if i upgrade to trunk will my system explode ?
[18:49:58] kormoc: $hostname is likely null, thus the same as missing, thus defaulting to the MBE

[18:52:35] SHADOW_V: iamlindoro, is it naive to think i could upgrade totrunk and have recording chug along nicely
[18:53:14] iamlindoro: tough question-- if you know exactly what you're doing there's no reason it wouldn;t
[18:53:26] iamlindoro: but if you run into any issue, and you might, then of course you might have issues
[18:53:41] SHADOW_V: of course
[18:54:04] iamlindoro: My recordings work nicely, I use trunk in production (NOTE: DON'T DO THAT!)
[18:54:17] SHADOW_V: right
[18:54:35] iamlindoro: Well, you can do it, you're just personally responsible for any issues you have
[18:54:36] SHADOW_V: i am thinking of throwing trunk on a spare box i have and throw a hvr 1600 in it and see how that goes

[18:57:59] mkrufky: im going to try that out... meanwhile what im trying to prove out is that mythbackend can stream to a upnp renderer
[18:58:03] SHADOW_V: mkrufky, yeah it works even has support for commercial skipping

[18:58:26] SHADOW_V: i believe i got music to work through mythbackend before

[18:58:33] iamlindoro: mythbackend can definitely stream to a uPnP renderer

[19:05:55] mkrufky: brb
[19:05:58] ** mkrufky crosses fingers **

[19:06:24] sphery: (but who knows what it will do to the myth systems :)
[19:06:43] iamlindoro: By not respecting the protocol I mean it lies about its protocol until myth lets it in

[21:53:30] jams: oh man it just moved up a notch on the list of gadgets i don't need but will buy
[21:53:33] mkrufky: ooooh really? so the whole iphone transcode stream task ..... it becomes a moot point in trunk ?
[21:53:35] rah: my svn trunk compilation seems to have no XMLTV video source
[21:53:44] rah: has XMLTV support been dropped?
[21:53:55] iamlindoro: no
[21:53:56] jams: nope
[21:54:25] kormoc: mkrufky, well, right now there's a iphone themed interface, and hopefully very shortly, yes, I'll have the 'live' transcoding done and in, so it'll 'instant' on without pre-encoding :)
[21:54:29] rah: why would it have no XMLTV source then?
[21:54:42] iamlindoro: misconfiguration
[21:54:50] rah: of what?
[21:54:53] mkrufky: kormoc: thats exciting :-)

[21:55:38] rah: there is no way to select an XMLTV source
[21:55:44] rah: there is no XMLTV option
[21:55:48] kormoc: mkrufky, one of the current features which I *love* is with the current ipod interface, it supports the telnet stuff so you browse to a recording, hit play on frontend, select the frontend, and boom, there it is, playing away :)
[21:55:59] rah: why is there no XMLTV option?

[21:58:14] mkrufky: :-D
[21:58:16] kormoc: hehe

[21:59:16] shadash: anybosy know when we're going to start seeing more NVIDIA ION devices?

[22:00:04] meshe: aren't there already like a dozen ION devices out there?
[22:00:26] meshe: kormoc: oooh, system crash or just player crash?
[22:00:26] shadash: nothing good yet
[22:00:33] kormoc: shadash, as the days go by under the full blood moon, more ions will appear as the solar winds interact with the upper ionosphere...
[22:00:40] kormoc: meshe, I've managed to do both :)
[22:00:44] meshe: sweet
[22:00:56] mkrufky: is the myth stuff in trunk streaming to ipod stuff — is it slicing the stream into many many tiny files?
[22:00:58] shadash: ahh makes sense
[22:01:00] kormoc: meshe, I even managed to get it to the point where I had to let it fully discharge before it'd come back... that was a bit scary
[22:01:02] meshe: maybe they execute video metadata like they do with SMS's
[22:01:14] mkrufky: (thats how apple wants it to be done)
[22:01:34] kormoc: mkrufky, aye, that's what's going in, right now it's just streaming video.mp4's correctly
[22:01:45] kormoc: (including skipping and all that jazz)
[22:02:04] kormoc: meshe, that's a very scary thought
[22:02:47] sphery: careful or you 2 will be excommunicated from the Apple fold
[22:02:49] meshe: yeah, i love the fact that some random person can text message me a hack and there's nothing i can do about it ;)

[22:03:12] kormoc: sphery, nah, we have money, that's all they really care about ;)
[22:03:19] AndyCap: meshe: nah, executing video metadata is microsoft patented technology.
[22:03:20] mkrufky: sphery: this stuff is no secret

[22:07:26] rah: kormoc: you mean someone comitted a broken patch to redirect the xmltv configuration?
[22:07:39] rah: why the hell would they do that?
[22:07:51] kormoc: rah, no, more like the UI code is under a large amount of re-work and noone checked that section
[22:08:06] kormoc: rah, it's part of the whole 'unstable branch to do development' process
[22:08:13] rah: kormoc: there has never been a UI for this

[22:09:39] rah: kormoc: there don't seem to be any other options for UK video sources except xmltv
[22:09:59] sphery: I think he means you're free to use the supported/stable version of Myth
[22:10:00] kormoc: rah, I ment more you don't have to use myth if the devs and the code is so broken in your oh so esteemed opinion...

[22:14:42] rah: someone said the UI was being overhauled for the latest release
[22:14:52] iamlindoro: indeed it is

[22:15:57] rah: (from the last time I used myth)
[22:15:59] kormoc: rah, there are plenty, you just don't see them cause the theme you are using hasn't been re-done yet (and is likely broken)
[22:16:20] kormoc: rah, keep in mind, there are no fully working themes shipping with -trunk right now

[22:16:42] rah: kormoc: what will the theme change?
[22:16:48] juski: qt painter still on holiday eh? heheh
[22:16:58] kormoc: rah, everything? nothing? Up to whomever writes it
[22:17:06] rah: "everything"?
[22:17:13] kormoc: yes, could very well be
[22:17:18] juski: yes, as opposed to letting qt make everything look fugly
[22:17:28] rah: I don't understand
[22:17:40] juski: i.e. plain nasty looking widgets in the setup screens. that's qt
[22:17:52] kormoc: current themes are likely going to get deleted unless someone decides to update them
[22:17:53] juski: (before they get ported to mythui)

[22:18:02] sphery: rah: http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/MythUI_Demo_Theme gives good examples of how to completely change everything with the new themes

[22:19:58] rah: good question
[22:20:08] rah: it sounds like the UI is going to be prettier
[22:20:11] iamlindoro: sphery, thx :)
[22:20:23] kormoc: rah, someday, perhaps
[22:20:31] juski: because some dolt who shouldn't be running trunk has decided to run trunk and has forgotten that it's *development* code in constant flux so MAY be broken in places.. ahh
[22:20:33] sphery: getting back on topic, if you're in mythtv-setup and running at a resolution < 1024x768, things will likely be cut off on some pages
[22:20:46] sphery: and if you're at or over 1024x768, things can still be cut off on some pages
[22:20:46] rah: which is a very long way from the way in which the human user interacts with the program being overhauled
[22:20:59] ** kormoc laughs **
[22:21:09] wagnerrp: any way to force firefox to open a link with an external program?
[22:21:11] sphery: because very few people care to put tons of time into mythtv-setup because once it's set up, it's set up
[22:21:13] kormoc: rah, that's not true, and if you bothered to read the bloody links given, you'd understand that
[22:21:19] rah: one of^W^W the biggest problem with mythtv is that its UI is ridiculously bad

[22:22:30] sphery: (assuming you don't care about functionality :)
[22:22:33] juski: rah: and with attitudes like yours, people who've bothered contributing to the project are supposed to feel motivated HOW?
[22:22:39] rah: kormoc: the links given do not comment on the UI; they comment on themes
[22:22:44] ** kormoc laughs **
[22:22:51] ** iamlindoro blinks **
[22:23:01] kormoc: the themes define the UI positions and such, imagine that!

[22:40:07] Dagmar: dustybin: It was the reason I put that overview page in just to try and get it spread out so I could really look at it
[22:40:15] dustybin: ok
[22:40:34] dustybin: mythtv is like a os

[22:49:52] juski: I spent a bit of time with a guy who said he was a freevo dev a couple of years ago. he started out being a bit of the last kind of person you'd want to meet at an expo but after 90 mins or so he came around
[22:50:01] meshe: i sometimes with that my /stfu alias worked on this network

[22:53:13] iamlindoro: internalizing the DB will help a lot, and card autodetection
[22:53:34] Dibblah: Not with the 13 pages (!) of playback settings it won't.
[22:53:39] iamlindoro: between those thigns and making the scanner more intuitive, -setup could become as simple as setting up the SGs and doing the scan
[22:54:04] juski: I started mapping out the settings screens the other day, then work landed on my desk :-\
[22:54:23] Dibblah: Actually, I need to dismantle my front speakers.
[22:54:43] meshe: i still say that software should have simple and expert modes and you need to take an IQ test to get to Expert
[22:54:45] Dibblah: I think I may have wired one internally with a speaker reverse polarity :(
