[00:01:17] iamlindoro: news
[00:01:18] kormoc: edit /var/www/htdocs/mythweb/modules/_shared/tmpl/_errors/db_vars_error.php and remove line 17 and give it another go
[00:01:25] kormoc: iamlindoro: yeah?
[00:01:29] iamlindoro: I fixed mythweb's streaming
[00:01:30] i_is_cat: k i will give it a go
[00:01:33] iamlindoro: - $url = "pl/stream/{$show->chanid}/{$show->recstartts}";
[00:01:33] iamlindoro: + $url = "http://127.0.0.1/mythweb/"."pl/stre . . . rtts}";
[00:01:43] iamlindoro: Only down side is everyone needs to use 127.0.0.1 from now on ;)
[00:01:46] kormoc: hehe
[00:01:57] kormoc: I need to fix that up...

[00:03:57] sphery: ah, I was thinking that was the php posix stuff wasn't installed, but instead it's the "user didn't configure mythweb.conf properly" error
[00:04:25] i_is_cat: k so now i'm getting: Warning at /var/www/htdocs/mythweb/modules/_shared/tmpl/_errors/db_vars_error.php, line 23: require(modules/_shared/tmpl/tmpl/header.php) [function.require]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory
[00:05:44] i_is_cat: i just checked it out i dont have a modules/_shared/tmpl/tmpl dir :S
[00:06:46] kormoc: of course, if you just do what sphery is saying and setup the database connection stuff correctly, that'll fix itself
[00:06:54] ** kormoc makes note to fix up error handling **
[00:08:58] i_is_cat: what you're saying mythweb.conf isnt configured properly?

[00:47:57] benklop: hey guys, is there a way to bind keys for channel up/down and a SEPARATE binding for browse up/down? as it stands, I see I can have a button to enter browse mode, and i can SWITCH browse with chan up/down, but that's not what I want
[00:48:03] benklop: I want both at the same time

[00:50:11] benklop: f0urtyfive: only if you want to record anything
[00:50:20] f0urtyfive: hehe
[00:50:24] benklop: otherwise no, it's fine
[00:50:27] f0urtyfive: its scheduling recordings now!
[00:50:35] f0urtyfive: so I've solved one problem

[00:51:47] benklop: now thankfully it's just bindings I wish could be split up
[00:52:09] f0urtyfive: yeah, segfaulting is kind of a big "one more problem" :D

[00:53:34] benklop: yeah, there are not separate bindings for browse mode up/down and channel up/down
[00:53:55] benklop: there is only channel up/down and you can set a checkbox in the settings to have it browse or not

[00:55:25] f0urtyfive: WOOO
[00:55:27] f0urtyfive: fixed
[00:55:36] f0urtyfive: benklop: incase your curious I needed the dtv_multiplex table :D
[00:55:50] i_is_cat: sphery, i added that alias line and still get the same thing :S
[00:56:11] benklop: f0urtyfive: cool :) glad you figured it out
[00:56:19] f0urtyfive: although...
[00:56:28] f0urtyfive: my frontend still does crash when I hit escape while watching live tv
[00:56:31] f0urtyfive: but its always done that
[00:56:36] f0urtyfive: I get "Illegal instruction"
[00:57:07] benklop: sounds like you need a less crapped up machine or something
[00:57:22] f0urtyfive: ?

[00:57:59] f0urtyfive: ah no the frontend segfaults too
[00:58:11] f0urtyfive: while trying to do "kickoffOutputAudioLoop exiting"
[00:58:16] benklop: it sounds like you have mismatched libraries or something
[00:59:16] f0urtyfive: its an .deb, how do you get mismatched libs from a package!
[00:59:33] iamlindoro: illegal instruction = not compiled for your architecture
[01:02:23] f0urtyfive: how do I Get rid of subtitle info from all my recordings?
[01:02:27] sphery: benklop: ah, that kind of bindings... that would be a useful change (that allows us to get rid of a stup^H^H^H^H^Hnother setting.
[01:03:08] sphery: f0urtyfive: why? if it's duplicate-detection related, it probably won't help
[01:03:17] sphery: so don't start breaking your metadata, yet :)
[01:03:45] f0urtyfive: sphery: no, I have the visual subtitle data at the top of all my recordings
[01:03:50] f0urtyfive: like its not clipping it or overscanning enough
[01:03:59] sphery: i_is_cat: and the alias is for the actual directory you're using (if not using server root)?
[01:04:18] sphery: f0urtyfive: you mean the VBI data?
[01:04:56] sphery: if so, you can use the crop filter ( http://www.mythtv.org/docs/mythtv-HOWTO-10.html#ss10.4 ), overscan, or ignore it
[01:05:04] f0urtyfive: yea
[01:05:08] f0urtyfive: thnx
[01:05:19] f0urtyfive: it was bothering me on the last recording I Was watching :P
[01:05:46] sphery: crop will just cover it up, overscanning will push it off screen
[01:06:09] sphery: generally, overscanning is probably the prettiest solution (and all analog TV is supposed to be overscanned, anyway)
[01:06:40] sphery: but then again, iamlindoro is correct about the illegal instruction
[01:07:16] f0urtyfive: seperate machines, the illegal instruction is easier to ignore :P
[01:07:20] sphery: sounds like your myth was compiled for the wrong cpu--probably using some advanced sse or soemthing that your processor doesn't support
[01:07:51] f0urtyfive: hrmmm
[01:07:58] f0urtyfive: what cpu opts does a core2quad not support?
[01:08:21] iamlindoro: "lots and lots of them"
[01:08:25] sphery: cat /proc/cpuinfo
[01:08:46] f0urtyfive: I already know what opts it SUPPORTS :P
[01:08:47] sphery: to see what it does support, then compare that with all the instructions supported by all the x86 processors in existence
[01:08:53] f0urtyfive: lol
[01:09:04] f0urtyfive: or just recompile a new version instead of using the ubuntu packages

[01:27:15] benklop: sphery: the crop filter doesnt really work too well for that use because it crops at least 16 pixels when I only need at most 2 cropped off
[01:28:14] sphery: yep
[01:28:32] benklop: plus too many channels put black borders all the way around so cropping doesn't work uniformly for all stations. plus some don't need it, so a crop filter in the playback filter chain is kinda overkill
[01:28:38] sphery: then again, it's supposed to be overscanned around 16pixels per edge
[01:29:14] benklop: well overscanning plus an HDTV just means fewer pixels to spread around
[01:29:18] sphery: guess it's 8 pixels per edge at 720x480
[01:29:51] sphery: yep, analog doesn't mix well with hdtv's
[01:30:07] benklop: i just know that 16 pixels chopped of the top of an sdtv recording looks substantial

[01:59:45] jpabq: iamlindoro: that has a LOT of potential. Honestly, I like that type of layout much better than graphite. I would still want my recGroup list wedged in there somewhere, though.
[02:00:14] iamlindoro: jpabq, I gave that some thought, was thinking just a spinbox type buttonlist would work
[02:00:18] iamlindoro: ie, only showing the current one

[02:01:41] jpabq: iamlindoro: I played around with just showing the current recGroup, and it would probably be sufficient for a theme like this one. The advantage to having a list, though, is knowing which direction to go, to get to the desired group with the fewest key presses.
[02:02:25] jpabq: Looking good!
[02:02:38] iamlindoro: jpabq, The advantage of working on a theme w/ a native res of 1920x1080 is lots of screen real estate :)
[02:03:10] iamlindoro: can put alllll the info on and still not make people feel like they're in a junkyard ;)
[02:03:44] jpabq: True.
[02:04:09] iamlindoro: Am thinking I'll hold out for our animated buttonlists, though, would like to "slide" the recording list up and down
[02:04:50] iamlindoro: It'll likely be a .23 theme, is what I'm saying :)
[02:05:00] iamlindoro: But if .23 is in March as we hope, then it won't be too bad
[02:05:38] jpabq: One advantage to using trunk, is not having to wait.

[02:07:36] iamlindoro: which is the one thing to offset the many, many downsides

[02:21:48] iamlindoro: the projector stays ;)

[02:32:21] paperclip: there's no myth-status

[02:32:52] iamlindoro: ships w/ mythbuntu IIRC
[02:32:59] tgm4883: ah, must be a addon that distro are putting in
[02:33:28] paperclip: i'm using mythbuntu 9.04..
[02:33:30] tgm4883: iamlindoro, I don't think it does anymore in mythbuntu
[02:33:35] sphery: it's a 3rd party script
[02:33:45] iamlindoro: oh no? Hmm... it used to, anyway
[02:33:51] Dagmar: THey should probably keep that. It seems too handy
[02:33:51] iamlindoro: but I'll take your word on it
[02:34:17] tgm4883: iamlindoro, yea at one point it did. IIRC it was pulled because of an issue it had with the backend
[02:34:21] tgm4883: making it crash and all
[02:34:40] paperclip: my frontend crashes all the time as it is..
[02:34:43] tgm4883: speaking of, I should look that bug up
[02:34:50] paperclip: backend is stable
[02:34:55] iamlindoro: But backend crashes are the reason users come up with complex series' of levers and pulleys to keep the backend restarting every five seconds!

[02:35:35] iamlindoro: kormoc is wise in the ways of SQL
[02:35:42] tgm4883: iamlindoro, true. I keep getting promisses that upstart will be able to do that all on it's own
[02:35:44] paperclip: i thought time/place shifting content was terrorism?
[02:35:45] Dagmar: iamlindoro: Okay. THat new guy seems like he might have found an actual bug in mythtv-setup
[02:36:02] tgm4883: which always seems to be current release +1
[02:36:07] ** iamlindoro fervently prays it's not the one bit of SQL he checked in to mythtv-setup a few weeks ago ;) **
[02:36:11] Dagmar: iamlindoro: WHen you enable strict mode in mysql, it breaks one of the calls that tries to add channels
[02:36:11] Dagmar: Very fun
[02:36:22] iamlindoro: ah, you can ask sphery about that
[02:36:30] iamlindoro: as strict mode is apparently an unsupported config
[02:36:33] Dagmar: Okay. I figured there was someone who knew their SQL back to front
[02:37:03] Dagmar: I'm sure it is, but it blew some drupal people out of the water as well and I'm trying to figure out if myth is naughty or if it's really a mysql bug
[02:37:14] j-rod: ticket #7026: closed->worksforme, you're a muppet, this isn't the help desk?
[02:37:15] sphery: Dagmar: we don't support strict mode
[02:37:21] Dagmar: Well, obviously
[02:37:46] sphery: which bit?
[02:38:18] Dagmar: When it's pushing channels into the database from within mythtv-setup it quietly fails because no value was applied to one of the text fields

[02:41:55] sphery: probably worth reporting
[02:43:02] Dagmar: Ahh... similar bugs. Cool
[02:44:06] kormoc: I'll be fixing them soon (hopefully). We'll be specifying a sql mode on the sql connection and thus things should work as expected without the rest of the server having to be modified

[02:46:41] mattwj2002: hi guys
[02:47:23] Dagmar: Cool.
[02:47:39] Dagmar: This guy woudln't have run into it except he's using mysql on win32, and they ship that with strict mode enabled by default
[02:47:44] kormoc: yeah
[02:47:59] mattwj2002: well guys I got my new motherboard :D
[02:48:49] mattwj2002: it is working great :D
[02:48:58] sphery: kormoc: I was looking at the SQL mode yesterday. A user with a Windows MySQL server ran into the "Windows MySQL enables STRICT_TRANS_TABLES by default" issue and mentioned that it also enables NO_AUTO_CREATE_USER (which doesn't affect us), and NO_ENGINE_SUBSTITUTION. It seems NO_ENGINE_SUBSTITUTION is one we should enable to prevent issues caused by invalid MythWeather when users don't enable InnoDB. I haven't looked at ...
[02:49:04] sphery: ... others to see which ones make sense.
[02:49:24] kormoc: Yeah, that one would be really useful
[02:51:06] dashcloud: while sorting out what channels my channel scan picked up, I realized that as much as I would love to have all my channels in clearqam, if they were, it would be my second job to keep up with all of them (or am I overthinking that?)
[02:51:35] Dagmar: Yes, but for the wrong reasons
[02:51:50] thedarkone: hey dagmar
[02:51:53] paperclip: matt2154_: what'd you get?
[02:51:58] Dagmar: Cable providers are working hard to eliminate that for anything except the things they're required by law to send out unecnrypted
[02:52:05] thedarkone: i have a odd problem
[02:52:20] Dagmar: ...which is to say, broadcast TV stations, and their sorry-ass subchannel stepchildren
[02:52:20] mattwj2002: paperclip did you mean me?
[02:52:29] paperclip: yes
[02:52:41] mattwj2002: ASUS M3N78-EM
[02:52:50] sphery: kormoc: Ok, it seems that's the only one we'd want.
[02:52:54] thedarkone: if i setup mythtv with alsa and turn master to 75 and control volume by pcm i get a wicked hiss
[02:52:59] sphery: all the others are bad or irrelevant
[02:53:02] mattwj2002: it isn't the fanciest thing around....it will auto over clock
[02:53:28] mattwj2002: *overclock
[02:53:28] paperclip: ahh.. was hoping for another ionitx user
[02:53:29] [R]: thedarkone: so lower the master
[02:53:40] sphery: thedarkone: ground loop (or whatever it's called?)
[02:53:44] paperclip: auto.. that's pretty nice
[02:53:54] ** j-rod decides to just stay the hell out of tickets... **
[02:53:59] mattwj2002: yup...considering I have quad cores it is really nice :D
[02:54:01] thedarkone: ground loop
[02:54:02] thedarkone: ?
[02:54:10] Dagmar: mattwj2002: Does the video chipset on that support any hardware-accellerated decompression of video?
[02:54:13] mattwj2002: it wasn't an update as much as a replacement
[02:54:20] kormoc: www.lmgtfy.com?q=ground%20loop
[02:54:47] Dagmar: Thankfully, ground loops are pretty easy to kill
[02:54:53] thedarkone: if i lower master to 60 then can't hear tv playing unless i turn tv volume to 46
[02:54:58] Dagmar: ...assuming you can find a good ground _somewhere_ nearby to use
[02:55:06] sphery: since that's not "let me Goggle that for you", I'll guess it was for him, not for me (meaning I said the wrong thing)
[02:55:07] mattwj2002: Dagmar good question
[02:55:09] mattwj2002: :)
[02:55:33] Dagmar: mattwj2002: Well, that's an 8300 and I thought the 8400 is where vdpau support starts
[02:55:35] kormoc: sphery: right, it was for him :P
[02:55:39] [R]: thedarkone: well whats PCM set to?
[02:55:46] thedarkone: 100
[02:55:47] sphery: yay, I maybe used the right term
[02:55:59] [R]: thedarkone: and if you lower that?
[02:56:07] thedarkone: no sound
[02:56:15] [R]: Dagmar: 8200/8300 onboard supports vdpau
[02:56:21] Dagmar: thedarkone: It does this when you run speaker-test, too, right?
[02:56:28] Dagmar: [R]: COol.
[02:56:29] thedarkone: yes
[02:56:37] Dagmar: I'll have to double-check that and add it to the card matrix page then
[02:56:41] [R]: thedarkone: if you lower it slightly from 100 and get no sound... there is seomrhign seriously wrong with your connection and/or your sound device
[02:56:45] thedarkone: it a new motherboard
[02:57:00] Dagmar: thedarkone: THat won't matter to a ground loop. Do you own a multimeter?

[02:57:42] Dagmar: That would probably do it then
[02:57:51] thedarkone: i see

[02:58:52] kormoc: thedarkone: the *right* pins?
[02:59:06] [R]: mattwj2002: theres a tip floating out there on the wiki about doing noevents or something like that in your config
[02:59:07] thedarkone: i did just like my old one
[02:59:24] sphery: UseEvents
[02:59:25] thedarkone: in manual don't tell u what ones to jump
[02:59:25] Dagmar: thedarkone: It's freaking easy to mess up the passthru jumpers on the chipsets trying hard to follow intel-hda's footsteps
[02:59:30] [R]: thedarkone: well you can't make stuff up
[02:59:33] kormoc: thedarkone: are you using the front audio?
[02:59:34] sphery: UseEvents, Luuuuuke
[02:59:40] thedarkone: no
[02:59:54] Dagmar: mattwj2002: It's listed in the nVidia README for hte driver
[02:59:55] kormoc: thedarkone: so remove it and see if it helps
[03:00:01] thedarkone: i will
[03:00:16] Dagmar: The front audio will likely be setup as a headset output
[03:00:27] Dagmar: You dont' wanna pass that to your stereo

[03:01:34] Dagmar: Headphone output and line-level are "close" to each other, but you'll have a grand old time getting the volume under control if you're passing headphone output to a line input
[03:01:41] [R]: mattwj2002: as Dagmar said... its in the nvidia documentation
[03:01:46] mattwj2002: okay
[03:01:54] Dagmar: It doesn't disable anytM3N78-EMhing
[03:01:57] mattwj2002: yeah I am actually using the mythubuntu drivers
[03:02:18] Dagmar: It just tells X that it should use a wait() loop instead of what amounts to a spinlock
[03:02:19] mattwj2002: the "restrictive" drivers
[03:02:33] mattwj2002: okay
[03:02:53] Dagmar: Turn on useevents and CPU usages will drop for playback of anything much involving vdpau/XvmC

[03:04:14] nuonguy: how can I make mythmusic play .m4a files?
[03:04:14] Dagmar: Well, since it's 8xxx we know it's not doing Xv accelleration, but it can't hurt
[03:04:30] iamlindoro: by sitting around for two weeks and upgrading to .22
[03:04:35] Dagmar: nuonguy: Find a lawyer?

[03:04:49] thedarkone: still does it
[03:04:50] nuonguy: for real?
[03:04:54] thedarkone: but better
[03:05:09] iamlindoro: .m4a is a recognized extension in the forthcoming .22, yes
[03:05:18] Dagmar: Maybe. Make sure you've actually got support for that format in some library or other and make sure mythmusic saw it
[03:05:19] nuonguy: are you saying this is a known issue with .21?
[03:05:30] Dagmar: If you DO have support for it, you just need to tell MythMusic to actually believe that's a music file
[03:05:39] nuonguy: it's in my playlist
[03:05:44] Dagmar: No, I'm saying it's somethign easily compiled out
[03:05:55] Dagmar: Hello patent restrictions

[03:42:55] sphery: hmmm... I'm getting a ReCAPTCHA with the "word from a scanned book" and it has a comma or a semicolon after it. I wonder if I'm supposed to include that (or if the book will end up wrong if I don't)...
[03:42:59] Dagmar: I remember that story now
[03:43:18] Dagmar: sphery: It'll probably take either if it's visually ambiguous enough
[03:44:17] sphery: it did
[03:44:32] sphery: so now I don't have a bad book scan on my conscience
[03:46:51] Dagmar: They don't hand those captchas to just one person
[03:47:02] Dagmar: They hand the same one to a lot of people, repeatedly and over time
[03:47:26] Dagmar: If bots are solving them, good for the bots.
[03:47:56] Dagmar: Mainly it's assumed that people outnumber bots, so that even though one person might get it wrong, multiple people are likely to get it right, and if one comes up with a lot of fuxx factor, they sort it out latert
[03:48:26] sphery: Yeah, but if all the people who typed in the word did it without the comma, then they might not know. Since the instructions said "type the words"...

[03:49:58] Dagmar: You could probably put "your mother wears army boots" in a small font below the recaptcha and it would be hours before someone would notce

[04:29:58] iamlindoro: sometimes, yes
[04:30:02] paperclip: hmm.. I'm guessing that if i install the server.. then tell it to grab myth-backend it won't be smart enough to just grab the xlibs

[05:08:15] tank-man: you are correct
[05:08:43] android60: ok
[05:09:21] android60: and does anyone know if the hvr 1800 analog is supported on .22? I know the issue with .21 involves the driver and myth not getting the feed from right spot or something along those lines. just wondering if its fixed in .22
[05:09:36] dserban__: is there some way I can play/pause toggle with one key in myth?
[05:11:42] tank-man: dserban_, yes
[05:11:49] tank-man: the "p" key on the keyboard
[05:11:54] iamlindoro: android60, There is nothing for myth to fix
[05:12:04] iamlindoro: android60, They need to get the driver fixed before myth will ever be able to use it
[05:12:26] dserban__: tank-man, when I'm in edit keys, play under music isn't defined, just pause is... so p applies to play and pause?

[05:14:25] mattwj2002: I am playing HD 1080i and Xorg is taking up 94% of one of my cores

[05:14:40] mattwj2002: I am using an HDHomeRun
[05:15:01] mattwj2002: Analog is fine
[05:15:31] mattwj2002: it seems to play fine just using a lot of CPU cycles
[05:16:02] dserban__: ok. it's in mythtv :)
[05:16:06] dserban__: it's a plugin
[05:16:08] iamlindoro: mattwj2002, HD decode, deinterlace, and playback is non-trivial, it's *supposed* to take a lot of cycles
[05:16:22] iamlindoro: many times moreso than analog playback
[05:16:52] mattwj2002: okay
[05:16:53] dserban__: anyway, I have a front usb keyboard on my case which has a button labeled ||> ... which is a toggle for pause and play... anyway I can make that happen in the definitions for the keys assigned to those functions?

[05:56:41] wagnerrp: personally, i have no problem with the r5000, but it has been decided not to support such a device
[05:56:48] wagnerrp: do you mean a pvr? or an hdpvr?
[05:57:37] juski: wtf? Has hell finally frozen over? http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/09/media-cent . . . requirement/
[05:57:42] wagnerrp: pvrs are typically the PVR150 and PVR500, analog encoder cards used for capture
[05:57:54] Doug8796: hdpvr
[05:57:55] wagnerrp: the hdpvr is a HD component encoder box
[05:58:03] wagnerrp: and is usually ~$200
[05:58:10] wagnerrp: but can be found as low as $150
[05:58:35] Doug8796: is it efficient?

[06:00:02] Doug8796: what works better
[06:00:08] Doug8796: r5000 or hdpvr
[06:00:19] wagnerrp: hdpvr... the r5000 is unsupported
[06:00:24] wagnerrp: i.e.... does not work at all
[06:00:24] juski: Doug8796: r5000 isn't supported & you can't talk about it here

[06:02:05] juski: Doug8796: how many times? You can't talk about it here
[06:02:57] Wicked: hmm so what does that mean juski?
[06:03:52] juski: Wicked: that means that if that story is true, USA cable subscribers will eventually be able to buy (in the near future) an approved solution to record digital cable & enjoy everything they pay for
[06:03:54] Wicked: seems like its a windows thing? all the articles im seeing are windows
[06:04:08] Wicked: very interesting...
[06:04:30] juski: not just very interesting – it's the one thing many people thought would never happen
[06:05:39] wagnerrp: juski: now the question is... what are the chances of OSS support?
[06:05:53] Doug8796: is model 1212 the betst
[06:05:57] wagnerrp: considering the cards are hardly usable even in a WMC machine
[06:05:59] juski: same as with any new tuner I guess
[06:06:11] wagnerrp: Doug8796: there is only one single HDPVR
[06:06:40] mattwj2002: honestly I don't care too much until they work well with Linux
[06:06:45] scan_away is now known as scan
[06:06:49] mattwj2002: if that ever happens
[06:06:56] juski: Doug8796: other manufacturers have announced they're going to bring out HD encoding capture devices but nobody has ever seen them yet
[06:07:00] wagnerrp: juski: i imagine it would be a fair bit harder, because the card is expecting some sort of handshaking, to ensure encryption
[06:07:59] juski: wagnerrp: yeah, but it's the holy frickin grail isn't it – so I doubt any driver attempts would fail for a lack of effort or determination ;)
[06:08:41] wagnerrp: the other question, what is the legality of such a device
[06:08:51] wagnerrp: its a licensed device, so your provider cannot complain
[06:09:02] juski: exactly
[06:09:04] wagnerrp: but are you violating DMCA in some manner by using the device
[06:09:14] iamlindoro: juski, http://www.fecitfacta.com/Arclight/
[06:09:26] iamlindoro: juski, Lots of new developments, I'm curious about your thoughts

[06:12:06] iamlindoro: thanks, btw
[06:12:21] mattwj2002: what we need is a company like pcHDTV to design one specifically for linux.....so they can handle all of the legal aspects with the DCMA and such
[06:12:37] iamlindoro: My proud papa moment of the night was the right side of the PBB
[06:12:39] wagnerrp: mattwj2002: not gonna happen... ever

[06:12:50] mattwj2002: *who
[06:13:00] iamlindoro: 2/3rd fo the area is eligible for button items, but it builds from the bottom
[06:13:03] wagnerrp: you dont understand what those cards do
[06:13:11] iamlindoro: so w/ fewer items, you see more fanart :)
[06:13:17] wagnerrp: those cards merely record the encrypted stream
[06:13:31] wagnerrp: decoding happens during playback
[06:13:43] wagnerrp: and it is a requirement of the card that it happens in that manner
[06:13:54] wagnerrp: so unencrypted video never hits the hard drive
[06:14:10] Doug8796: i wish they had 1080p support
[06:14:17] Doug8796: some of directv's channels are in 1080p
[06:14:21] Wicked: ah you have to get one of those cablecards for tivos right?
[06:14:25] juski: HDPVR goes up to 1080p
[06:14:25] wagnerrp: its in some closed, protected memory from the moment it get decoded by the card, to the moment it gets pumped out of hdmi/hdcp by the video card
[06:14:31] wagnerrp: juski: 1080i
[06:14:36] Doug8796: it said it just works with 1080i
[06:14:38] juski: thought it did 1080p
[06:15:07] juski: Doug8796: so get the satellite company's DVR then :)
[06:15:23] Doug8796: then i cant record them permanently
[06:15:28] juski: or don't – and tell them WHY :D
[06:15:36] juski: awww
[06:15:55] Doug8796: or record ps3/360
[06:16:09] juski: we need many more abstainers in the world. then at some point all these companies might stop being assholes
[06:16:43] juski: unlikely to ever happen. Joe Schmoe is happy with the crap they farm out

[06:24:43] dserban__: [R], I can change it, I was just hoping to find out if I could

[06:25:03] juski: iamlindoro: anyway fella. You saw the theming rule book, ripped it up, lit the bits on fire & scattered the ashes far & wide
[06:25:08] juski: :D
[06:25:17] dserban__: [R], well I can like I said ... merely curious
[06:25:21] iamlindoro: juski, Heh, in a good way I hope ;_)
[06:25:23] iamlindoro: ;)
[06:25:48] dserban__: iamlindoro, is that stuff for .22? It looks extremely seksi gj
[06:25:50] juski: iamlindoro: way to 'think outside the box'.
[06:25:58] wagnerrp: im guessing thats going to be the hardest part of theming for the next version or two of mythtv
[06:26:04] iamlindoro: dserban_, It's only five days old-- .23 most likely
[06:26:07] wagnerrp: everyone is still thinking 'inside the box'
[06:26:10] wagnerrp: creativity is hard
[06:26:20] juski: wagnerrp: yeah it was always kinda comforting to be restricted sometimes
[06:26:29] iamlindoro: theming itself is hard... by the time you understand the concepts you're 75% of the way through something
[06:26:34] iamlindoro: and then you look at it and go... yecchhhhh
[06:26:38] juski: I'll probably never do a good mythui theme
[06:26:43] dserban__: hah yep... been there
[06:27:09] iamlindoro: So Arclight is my chance to set Graphite on fire and pee out the flames
[06:27:22] juski: maybe an 'ok' one at some point but not til I put new toys in the painter
[06:27:33] dserban__: it looks extremely nice, though I may poke and change things here and there, but that's because I'm neurotic... anyhoo .. back to fsckin' with xmodmap and my technically challenged wireless keyboard
[06:27:50] iamlindoro: Heh, technically speaking its license will preclude you from changing it
[06:27:57] iamlindoro: not that I'd ever know
[06:28:08] dserban__: :o license?
[06:28:11] iamlindoro: yep
[06:28:25] iamlindoro: No copy, no distribute, no derivative works, and you can buy the fonts, too
[06:28:32] dserban__: lol
[06:28:43] dserban__: can I look at it maybe? or does that cost as well?
[06:28:48] dserban__: :P
[06:28:50] wagnerrp: presumably to prevent questions on how to modify it
[06:29:00] iamlindoro: I won't make a penny-- just don't care the make anything using OSS fonts, they all suck
[06:29:04] juski: wagnerrp: it won't prevent that. nothing will save him ;)
[06:29:18] iamlindoro: So I'm no compromising, and if people want to use it, they can buy a $15 font :)
[06:29:23] wagnerrp: iamlindoro... i want to change this particular aspect... can you show me how? while your at it, could you just send the patch my way?
[06:29:34] iamlindoro: wagnerrp, heh
[06:29:38] dserban__: heh
[06:29:42] juski: wagnerrp: the correct answer is GDIAF
[06:30:11] juski: I came out of 'friendly requests' a bit er.. damaged
[06:31:02] mattwj2002: is there an alternative to the Hauppauge HD-PVR Model 1212 for recording component video?
[06:31:05] iamlindoro: I learned that lesson too :)
[06:31:10] juski: mattwj2002: no
[06:31:11] wagnerrp: currently, no
[06:31:16] mattwj2002: crap
[06:31:20] wagnerrp: there are other component video recorders available
[06:31:20] iamlindoro: all e-mail w/ Graphite in the subject line that don't come through the list are summarily deleted :)
[06:31:22] mattwj2002: it is so darn expensive :(
[06:31:23] wagnerrp: but none of them do HD
[06:31:29] iamlindoro: I've deleted five this week!
[06:31:34] juski: last CES there were loads on show but nobody's seen them since

[06:33:06] juski: and as for linux support, it looks to the most casual observer as if Hauppauge are the only company who care a damn
[06:33:12] juski: :)
[06:33:42] dserban__: hah one more question... how did the bar get entered in mythcontrols without it wanting to insert Shift+| ?
[06:34:05] juski: wonder what it was like in that board meeting. Hey, anybody have any idea how many PVR cards we've sold for use in linux? Oh my GOD..
[06:34:08] wagnerrp: apparently BlackMagic is offering linux drivers.... for all the good a non-HDCP framegrabber would do
[06:34:10] [R]: dserban__: huh?
[06:34:21] mattwj2002: well more business for them :D
[06:35:15] dserban__: [R], heh... ok... grasp this.
[06:35:32] iamlindoro: wagnerrp, Plus they're not v4l drivers
[06:35:45] iamlindoro: need to build against their "SDK" PFFFFFFFFT
[06:36:29] dserban__: when I use mythcontrols, under the front end, I want to assign say.. the bar (pipe character) to an action... then... when it asks me to enter the binding... it asks if Shift+| are what I want to bind... since shift is a modifier (...) in xmodmap... grr let me try this again
[06:37:01] mgisbers_away is now known as mgisbers
[06:37:32] dserban__: right... so at all times I'd have to hit shift to enter it via keyboard... but i'm binding... grr forget it... I know it works heh... just asking a rhetorical question now i guess... and I don't want it answered... frick... I need some sleep
[06:40:00] dserban__: sorry for killin' the convo

[07:31:27] juski: I'd have thought he'd have had enough by now. heh
[07:32:45] oobe: you mean he looses all his recordings then installs a replacement then looses all his recordings again
[07:32:49] juski: I only lost *everything* I'd recorded once, and that was an rm -rf operation
[07:32:52] oobe: that's brilliant
[07:32:56] juski: oobe: yeah pretty much
[07:33:15] oobe: i wonder if mythtv will get that feature
[07:33:27] juski: even when it 'works' the recordings have random chunks of time missing if there's any weather
[07:33:32] oobe: oh wait that would suck
[07:34:02] oobe: i spose you have told him about mythtv what is his objection
[07:34:06] Dibblah: That's silly. He should have taken backups.
[07:34:09] Dibblah: Oh, wait. ;)
[07:34:10] juski: given the choice between paying £££ a year for that & having to put up with crap like that & not.. I'll take the 'not' option
[07:35:03] juski: wonder how many STBs it'll take for him to think about getting something else

[07:45:13] juski: had to play chicken with the automagical bollards in the car park this morning on the way in. Oh dear
[07:46:34] juski: stupid things are controlled by the building CCTV DVR. The illuminated sign which tells you 'stop' is controlled by the DVR too – separately from the bollards themselves. Stupid idea
[07:47:06] AndyCap: Hahaa
[07:47:09] juski: so technically it's possible for the green light to be on when the bollards are in operation :(
[07:47:46] juski: somebody's car got wiped out by one a while back – it was a write off. the indicator was green for 'go'
[07:48:12] sid3windr: uhh
[07:48:13] juski: company argued the toss & it's gone to court. guy no longer works here

[07:48:23] sid3windr: read license plates?
[07:48:27] juski: yep
[07:48:41] sid3windr: :|
[07:49:08] juski: some guy was messing with it at lunchtime one day. the indicator was green & the bollards came up as somebody was coming into the car park. bang
[07:49:09] [R]: bollards?
[07:49:17] AndyCap: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BWnfeDtnuds
[07:49:55] juski: these aren't as fast as the ones in any of the youtube vids but they can still get ya
[07:50:30] juski: put it this way, drive at the 5mph limit we have for our car parking & they can come up before you've passed over em
[07:50:31] [R]: oh damn
[07:50:42] [R]: thats so weird
[07:51:02] juski: the indicator lights should be controlled by the PLC that controls the barrier
[07:51:38] juski: like turn lights red, wait a while, raise barrier. lower barrier, wait a bit, turn indicator lights green.
[07:51:46] AndyCap: or they could make the bollards spiky.
[07:51:51] juski: then just send 'barrier up' 'barrier down' to the barrier controller. but no
[07:53:31] [R]: so that video
[07:53:36] [R]: is it t hat only certain people can go through?
[07:54:09] juski: supposedly
[07:54:21] AndyCap: [R]: public transport I think, but dunno if that reads plates or does something else, like a remote control
[07:54:42] juski: yeah it's ANPR based that one
[07:54:49] [R]: crazy british
[07:54:51] [R]: thats all i have to say
[07:55:14] juski: great way to enforce bus lanes!
[07:55:31] juski: you'd have to be a proper numpty to take those things on
[07:55:42] juski: the video shows that pretty well ;)
[07:55:42] AndyCap: the head of the driver makes quite an impression in the windshield of the large white van
[07:56:11] AndyCap: so if you are going to do stupid stuff like that, wear your seatbelt.
[07:56:34] [R]: you should always weaar your seatbelt
[07:56:36] [R]: regardless if you are being an idiot
[07:56:51] AndyCap: :)

[07:57:08] [R]: is it not the law in england?

[07:58:23] AndyCap: It was clearer with the mercedes when the airbags deployed.
[07:58:40] juski: do em for criminal damage, driving without due care.. and travelling while not wearing a seatbelt :D
[07:59:33] AndyCap: and a violation of no entry or whatever the signs posted are? :)

[08:59:36] juski: just saddens me to see fragmentation where it's not necessarily needed
[08:59:42] mzb: and I think you'll find (if I remember what Steve said) there are some important differences in the law (for eg.) that make his business possible ... whereas it would be more difficult (or require a different product) in Australia

[09:32:09] BhaalWK: One question, with a 0.22 frontend run off a 0.21 backend?
[09:32:17] juski: NO
[09:32:19] BhaalWK: s/with/will
[09:32:20] juski: absolutely not
[09:32:23] BhaalWK: Bugger...
[09:32:24] wombo_: I hope it will make it in

[09:32:42] paperclip: i think mythbuntu 9.10 will get 0.22
[09:33:12] paperclip: if not at release, shortly after
[09:33:22] juski: for best result, use version of mythtv the same always!
[09:33:36] juski: no mixy version worky!
[09:33:37] BhaalWK: Hrm, well hopefully Jaunty will upgrade happily then, my backend is more then just mythtv .. its general file server and asterisk server etc etc
[09:33:56] BhaalWK: juski: I didnt think so, but was worth asking :)
[09:35:29] BhaalWK: I guess I wont be doing any upgrades until I have a few things sorted, like an image of my current system ...
[09:36:32] BhaalWK: The frontend is easy to sort out, just switch drives, I only use small drives as it is *just* a frontend in the lounge room ... but the backend is a large system...
[09:37:33] juski: what I used to do is back up the database & take out the / drive in the backend, put a new one in. install.. import the database, run mythtv-setup... start the new backend :)

[13:34:43] juski: plenty of linuxy routers with USB :)
[13:35:15] gbee: not so much the difficulty but the hassle
[13:35:23] wombo_: yeah
[13:35:43] juski: aye quite a time vampire making the first one
[13:35:59] juski: getting it reliable enough, yada yada
[13:36:05] gbee: damn, why is the mythmusic -wide theme broken all of sudden?
[13:36:23] juski: not guilty, I hope
[13:39:19] mzb is now known as mzb_zz
[13:41:15] gbee: nah, somehow ended up with a screwy theme directory, rm -rf'd it and reinstalled
[13:41:42] gbee: good news is that GANT and blue are no longer installed :)

[14:03:44] iamlindoro: This consistency thing sure makes theming some parts fast ;)
[14:04:46] juski: faster to make, and yet ... better :)
[14:04:58] iamlindoro: yeah, that
[14:05:13] iamlindoro: I only joke because that took me all of 45 seconds from start to finish
[14:05:17] gbee: it's largely because I threw some variety into Terra to demo things that it's taking so long ... well that and I'm having to write some code :/
[14:05:18] juski: common widgetry FTW
[14:05:56] juski: no more adding custom widgets in plugins :)

[14:06:39] iamlindoro: Well, and I think I'm using inheritance MUCH more wisely this time
[14:06:53] iamlindoro: I understood *what* it was w/ Graphite, but definitely didn't understand how best to use it
[14:07:34] juski: wuh, all the screens lookey samey :(
[14:07:35] juski: ;)
[14:07:54] iamlindoro: heh
[14:08:17] juski: you & your sticking to a small number of fonts & colours
[14:08:32] juski: we've got a whole pallette of 65536 to choose from!
[14:08:53] gbee: yeah, one danger of that is that you become disorientated, it's why I've stuck a title in every page of Terra and in my next theme each plugin etc will carry over the main menu icon
[14:09:55] juski: I dunno about making every screen look the same but it'll be nice to at least have the freedom to do that
[14:09:55] gbee: http://miffteevee.co.uk/imagebin/filmstrip_menu.png << Those icons will appear somewhere on the page
[14:12:27] iamlindoro: I don't care to have the all *look* the same, but the big key is that they *act* the same
[14:12:51] iamlindoro: and yeah, onec if figute out some sleek clock/location indicator I'll add one, but still up in the air about it
[14:13:39] iamlindoro: very likely up in the top right, as one might expect
[14:20:02] juski: an analogue clock :D
[14:20:49] iamlindoro: I heard if you put an analog clock in, your screen becomes an acid trip of rotation ;)
[14:21:01] juski: only on intel hardware ;)
[14:21:35] juski: and there's a gaussian blur effect which visibly slows down the UI fades :D
[14:22:05] juski: God, why do I never aim for targets I can hit easily?
[14:22:10] iamlindoro: yay! The "upgrade necessitator effect"
[14:23:14] iamlindoro: Hmmmmmmm... just discovered a limitation in the current buttonlist implementation, unless I misunderstand something
[14:23:27] juski: actually the last blur I tried was only drawing each blurred object a few times so it shouldn't have been as slow as it got
[14:23:48] iamlindoro: upscrollarrow and downscrollarrow are statetypes, and not states within the "active," etc statetypes... so they can only ever look one way
[14:24:09] iamlindoro: which means I can't have them look different for the selected item than the unselected one-- which sort of makes the color inversion thing a bust
[14:24:53] juski: I think I remember running into that in 'concept'
[14:26:27] juski: you could fix that I bet
[14:26:50] juski: you are smart :) We like smart

[14:30:57] iamlindoro: If they think all those XBMC themes use free fonts they are in for a shock

[14:31:09] laga_: good job

[14:31:38] iamlindoro: heh, yeah... "It's free if I don't pay for it, right?"
[14:32:38] iamlindoro: And yeah, if it takes a little righteous indignation to get people a-themin', that's okay too :)
[14:33:01] iamlindoro: I'm not using closed fonts to be a dick, I'm using them so it doesn't look like poop :)
[14:33:43] j-rod: iamlindoro: out of curiosity, have you ever looked at the liberation font family?
[14:33:53] ** j-rod no font expert... **
[14:34:06] j-rod: they're professionally done and they're really truly free
[14:34:16] iamlindoro: j-rod, Yes... and w/ all respect to Red HAt (and I'm thankful for them supporting them) I just don't think any of them compare to something like frutiger
[14:34:29] iamlindoro: But that's no surprise, Frutiger is a masterpiece
[14:34:41] j-rod: heh
[14:34:55] iamlindoro: Just like it's not Picasso's fault for not being Da Vinci :)
[14:36:00] iamlindoro: And in deference to Liberation, they're not meant to be arty fonts, they're meant to be Monotype/Arial/Times New Roman replacements
[14:36:10] iamlindoro: so if I was looking to use one of those, Liberation would be for me :)

[14:42:03] wombo_: I follow the SVN religiously but every so often like today I see messages about Doxygen. What do you mean?

[14:42:25] juski: doxygen is the online document system
[14:42:34] juski: bloody useful tool
[14:42:42] wombo_: ahhh ok
[14:42:50] juski: shows you classes, members, relationships..
[14:43:02] juski: all interlinked too
[14:43:03] wombo_: but why does they require a modification to the SVN code
[14:43:27] juski: so the automagical scripts used to build the resource can work their way through the code
[14:43:33] laga_: because the documentation is in the code.
[14:44:29] iamlindoro: juski, I could not care less if someone takes Arclight and modifies it for their own use-- The only real goal of the license is to prevent a) people repackaging it w/ the fonts illegally and b) creating a "free font" version that ruins the whole look

[15:13:07] juski: there's another one with the rotate also done in the qt painter itself too – just another simple mess with the paint origin & 'rotate the paper' effect
[15:14:37] juski: can't find that one right now. it's in one or more of the diffs in that directory on the webspace
[15:14:48] sphery: iamlindoro: Very nice response, too. I may have to look up the article about fonts and font licensing and how a huge number of these "free" fonts are illegal knock-offs of commercial fonts.
[15:15:05] juski: gbee: it'll take five minutes or so to do the same again in the qt painter
[15:15:17] juski: it doesn't noticably slow anything down either :)
[15:15:38] juski: I mean like you can hold a key down on a buttonlist & it all still whizzes by faster than you can read :)

[15:25:41] juski: right. I've had enough of this autocad lark for another day
[15:25:45] juski: hometime
[15:27:41] B-Man: J-e-f-f-A: I am hoping to capture HD...
[15:27:56] J-e-f-f-A: B-Man: For HD – lots of choices – Virtually any tuner that works with Linux will work with MythTV. I use a HD-HomeRun for ATSC currently, and have also use a PCTV HD-3000, PCTV HD-5500, Hauppauge HVR-950 USB stick, and Hauppauge PVR-1250 (PCIe)
[15:28:37] Gav8in: i haven't tried anything but an HDHR, and I love it
[15:28:38] J-e-f-f-A: B-Man: there's lots of info on the Myth wiki, and even more on the linuxtv.org dvb wiki.

[15:30:22] sphery: You need a window manager
[15:30:25] Gav8in: yeah; really the main question is what your source will be. that dictates what you use.
[15:30:28] sphery: You don't need a desktop environment
[15:31:00] wombo_: apparently it doesnt need an OS
[15:31:03] sphery: you /can/ use a desktop environment (KDE/GNOME) if you have RAM to spare and don't mind the DE stuff
[15:31:09] J-e-f-f-A: B-Man: I use my backend system as somewhat of a 'desktop' when I'm at home, and occasionally as a frontend too.
[15:31:33] Gav8in: my mythtv system is also my primary computer; i use it to work from home etc..., it is fine for that application
[15:31:56] Gav8in: i just switch windows between myth and whatever i want to run in my window manager
[15:31:56] B-Man: Gav8in: Kind of the same thing I am trying to do...

[15:32:11] Gav8in: i use ratpoison as my window manager
[15:32:12] sphery: wonder if that means you can't depreciate the portion of the system in use by MythTV for personal use...
[15:32:23] Gav8in: (just because that's the wm i've used for years now, i favour it)
[15:32:38] sphery: RatPoison is great for mythfrontends because it's only about 300KiB incremental memory usage
[15:33:00] Gav8in: heh; i don't bother writing off my home office expenses

[17:18:12] sphery: mag0o: if you really want to delete all your configuration and everything, you can still do a partial restore even if you don't have the old version installed anymore
[17:19:00] mag0o: what i did was change hardware, install a fresh OK (slackware 13) and am going from 0.22 to svn
[17:19:07] sphery: mag0o: just invert the process--do a full restore, (change hostname, if required), start mythtv-setup to upgrade the DB, exit mythtv-setup, do a full backup, drop DB, create DB, do a partial restore of backup of upgraded db
[17:19:26] sphery: you mean from 0.21-fixes to SVN?
[17:19:29] mag0o: yes
[17:19:32] mag0o: sorry
[17:19:38] sphery: otherwise it would be a downgrade, involving a time machine :)
[17:19:42] mag0o: (glad the wifey is going out of town this weekend)
[17:19:52] mag0o: hehe
[17:19:53] sphery: best time to play with a Myth box
[17:20:10] sphery: Yeah, really, even with new hardware there's no reason for a partial restore
[17:20:15] mag0o: but yes, from 21-fixes to svn
[17:20:34] sphery: if your capture card hardware changes a lot, you might want to Delete all capture cards (don't delete them individually)
[17:20:41] sphery: otherwise, what you had should work fine
[17:20:50] mag0o: new hardware in way of mobo/cpu
[17:20:56] sphery: and mythtv-setup should handle the upgrade for you without issue
[17:20:57] mag0o: other than that everything else is the same
[17:21:12] sphery: (I think slack did their MySQL configuration properly for Myth.)
[17:21:56] mag0o: ok, i'll give it a whirl
[17:21:59] sphery: yeah, I recommend using the full DB, then... full restore, (possibly hostname change,) start the upgraded mythtv-setup to upgrade the DB, configure new stuff, enjoy
[17:22:07] mag0o: hostname the same
[17:22:14] sphery: that's the /best/ approach
[17:22:25] sphery: so full restore, mythtv-setup, ...

[18:03:54] sphery: Greek-B0y: on the bright side, though, channel names and numbers are user-editable, user data (not used by Myth, except for display purposes)

[18:27:53] mag0o: :)
[18:28:04] gbee: sphery: yeah, maybe it won't really matter at the end of the day but I've resisted having the database on the same drive
[18:28:10] mag0o: im in the same boat, i traded my 4x200 for 1x1tb
[18:28:29] xris: iamlindoro: my biggest is two 500G drives in my mythbox. been holding off on upgrading the 250s in my file server until the prices on 1.5T and 2T drives drops a little more
[18:28:31] mag0o: now have the 200s sitting there, collecting dust
[18:28:40] gbee: I did find a 120Gb drive in a drawer here, but I can't remember whether I yanked it because it was failing or not
[18:29:06] iamlindoro: xris: swapped 2TBs in for the 1TBs so now I've got those to find something to do with

[18:29:53] xris: my budget lately has been focused more on "finish the remodel NOW before the baby comes"
[18:29:54] gbee: I've two 1Tb in this machine currently
[18:29:57] sphery: gbee: I also set the weight on that filesystem to extremely high, so it's only used as a last resort--and I generally move recordings from my "real" recordings drives to that partition to keep it full (so it wouldn't be chosen, anyway)
[18:30:00] Dagmar: Stop using 2.5" drives then
[18:30:11] mag0o: xris, first baby?
[18:30:21] Dagmar: THey're made to be slow because it's considered more important that they don't eat your battery whole
[18:30:28] sphery: Wasn't MythWeb xris's first baby?
[18:30:39] mag0o: hehe
[18:31:01] gbee: Dagmar: only using it because it was available when my last drive died, not to save power or anything more than that
[18:31:07] xris: mag0o: first human baby, yes.  :)
[18:31:21] j-rod: sphery: heh, no worries, I'd intended to follow up on that anyway. :)

[18:31:40] mag0o: congrats...and now mythweb gets no more support :)
[18:31:57] j-rod: he's still got a while before that point in time

[18:35:22] j-rod: heh. took in an additional foster kid for a short-term placement
[18:35:32] j-rod: so we had 4 for about 3 weeks

[21:02:47] J-e-f-f-A: kormoc: J/K... ;-) I'm right there with ya... I just plowed through 200+ msgs from the last couple of days...
[21:02:56] iamlindoro: kormoc: just rm images/backgrounds/graphite_abstract*
[21:03:07] iamlindoro: and that should leave you only w/ the old ones
[21:03:16] kormoc: snazzy
[21:03:29] iamlindoro: that's from memory, so double check that filename ;)
[21:03:39] iamlindoro: I'll likely do up something a little better by the release
[21:03:51] iamlindoro: but since Graphite is forbidden fruit the release doesn't really matter :)
[21:04:00] ** kormoc laughs **
[21:04:17] sphery: forbidden fruit or fruit of the poisonous tree?
[21:04:23] iamlindoro: "yes" ?
[21:04:29] sphery: (metadata being said tree?)
[21:04:37] ** kormoc copies Kaylee* to graphite_awesome_* **
[21:04:57] iamlindoro: I'll just create a blank inscape document and run half a dozen random filters, the svn ci ;)

[21:40:41] P2E: hi guys, has anyone tried installing mythtv on slack13 yet?
[21:41:57] Dagmar: Yes.
[21:42:18] P2E: I have a stock install – is there anything I need to be aware of other than needing to install lame?
[21:42:19] dgilmore: j-rod: how many cpus does it have?
[21:42:23] Dagmar: You will need the qt-3.x package from extras/ and a clue
[21:42:31] dgilmore: j-rod: and how much ram?
[21:42:45] j-rod: dgilmore: only two 750s in it. slots for up to 8 cpu packages, iirc
[21:42:46] kormoc: P2E: you should read the documentation that covers all the compile time requirements
[21:42:51] j-rod: and 4G of RAM, can take up to 64G
[21:42:54] P2E: Dagmar: got both of those. will look.
[21:42:56] dgilmore: j-rod: yeah the 880 is 8 socket
[21:42:59] dgilmore: the 440 is 4
[21:43:02] P2E: kormoc: looked at that, that's how I figured out I needed lame.
[21:43:23] dgilmore: j-rod: i have a sb2000 here , that has dual 750's in it
[21:43:48] dgilmore: j-rod: ive never tried myth on sparc
[21:44:00] dgilmore: j-rod: i shoudl build rpmfusion for it :)
[21:44:34] j-rod: given that it currently (I think) doesn't build on ppc, I have no real desire to work on yet another arch
[21:44:35] Dagmar: I'm still working on a list of the things that don't amuse me about Slackware 13
[21:46:22] P2E: Dagmar: er.. qt-3.x doesn't appear to be in extras. so add that to your list.
[21:46:44] Dagmar: It is in there.
[21:46:54] dgilmore: j-rod: and sparc and ppc are pretty close
[21:47:20] dgilmore: j-rod: 995 of the time if it builds on one it will on the other
[21:47:27] dgilmore: unless it nees some assembly work
[21:47:38] j-rod: not close enough for this build failure, its something inside an #if ARCH_PPC, iirc
[21:47:45] j-rod: (or something like that)
[21:47:54] P2E: Dagmar: well, I don't want to contradict, but http://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/linux/slackware/slackware-13.0/extra/
[21:47:57] j-rod: I need to poke jwb and get my powerstation actually booting again
[21:47:59] Dagmar: Mainly I'm just pissed that it seems Patrick has decided to do something we didn't care for when other distributions do it
[21:48:09] Dagmar: P2E: I'm not clicking the mouse for you. It's in there.
[21:48:36] Dagmar: GOD FORBID ANYONE EVER USE A SUBDIRECTORY
[21:48:42] Dagmar: Might as well encrypt the files
[21:48:48] P2E: oh it's buried in kde3
[21:48:54] P2E: sorry, my mistake
[21:48:55] dgilmore: j-rod: i want a powerstation
[21:49:04] Dagmar: It's in *a* directory. It's _not_ "buried"
[21:49:38] Dagmar: Oi. Easier thing: `find /path/to/image -name qt*.txz`
[21:54:12] Dagmar: I would really like to know why he saw fit to remove X's configuration tool
[21:54:16] Dagmar: That was dumb.
[21:54:30] Dagmar: It probed, it was graphical, it was ugly, but it worked.
[21:54:44] Dagmar: Last night I had to go through a bunch of crap to set up a dual-headed config as a result.
[21:55:01] laga_: j-rod: is a powerstation awesome?
[21:55:22] j-rod: reasonably so
[21:55:36] laga_: j-rod: worth buying these days?
[21:55:56] j-rod: its generally solid hardware, has a nice SAS controller built-in, dual 2.5GHz dual-core ppc64 procs
[21:56:09] j-rod: worth buying if you need to do powerpc64 work, sure
[21:56:17] laga_: do you happen to know hwo much memory it can take?
[21:56:35] j-rod: don't recall offhand. I think its got at least 8 dimm sockets tho
[21:56:56] j-rod: http://us.fixstars.com/products/powerstation/
[21:57:19] j-rod: yeah, 8 slots, up to 32G
[21:57:35] laga_: neat
[21:57:51] P2E: Dagmar: I use X -configure and edit the file and put it in the right place.
[21:58:09] j-rod: people still use X servers that require an xorg.conf?
[21:59:45] j-rod: (okay, so I actually do too, but only when using count blobula)
[22:00:03] iamlindoro: Heh
[22:00:17] iamlindoro: I just named an 8-core server at work DrOctopus and *nobody got it*
[22:00:23] iamlindoro: freakin people
[22:00:33] AndyCap: j-rod: what magic X server from the future do you have? :)
[22:00:47] AndyCap: my xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.6.99–28.20090804.fc12 still needs one.
[22:01:28] j-rod: AndyCap: what driver? Haven't had one on any of my boxes using intel, radeon or nouveau for two releases now
[22:01:48] AndyCap: for the Identifier "VGA1"\nOption "Ignore" "true" magic. :>
[22:01:50] AndyCap: intel.
[22:02:31] Dagmar: You guys thinking it's that simple should add a second display.
[22:02:44] laga_: Dagmar: fire up xrandr, fiddle a bit, be done
[22:03:00] Dagmar: The xorgconfig thing that threw up an ugly little diagram let you slap in a second monitor right then and there
[22:03:04] laga_: Dagmar: i do it at work every.. well, whenever i go ther
[22:03:06] AndyCap: Dagmar: well, technically since the driver thinks VGA1 exists, HDMI out is a second display. :P
[22:03:29] AndyCap: of course, it's not very happy when VGA1 doesn't reply to the EDID queries.
[22:03:39] J-e-f-f-A: I had a 2nd monitor on my backend on both FC6 and FC8 – haven't used it in a while, didn't seem that bad when i set it up.
[22:03:44] j-rod: Dagmar: um. yeah. I *have* a second display. No xorg.conf.
[22:03:54] Dagmar: AndyCap: Well, see the thing that gets my goat is that Patrick Vokerding apparently dumped that Xorg-provided program from the package
[22:04:05] P2E: nvidia-settings is kind of nice for setting up dual-screens
[22:04:12] P2E: worksforme(tm)
[22:04:22] AndyCap: Dagmar: what progream? isn't -configure build into the server?
[22:04:30] Dagmar: It is.
[22:04:41] P2E: he's talking about the like xfree86 configurator
[22:04:42] Dagmar: However, I'm one of those loons who reads the docs and does what they say
[22:05:03] ** AndyCap gave up on that when he realized that people didn't bother to update the docs **
[22:05:19] ** j-rod staring at a dual-head nouveau-driven spanning desktop setup on a box with no xorg.conf right now **
[22:05:21] Dagmar: Well, no, this is *not* the xfree86 "ask a jillion questions" script
[22:05:31] Dagmar: It's the new one they added in xorg
[22:05:34] AndyCap: j-rod: oh, yeah, that was fairly sweet.
[22:05:37] laga_: j-rod: nouveau? why do you use that? is it usable? fast? Xv?
[22:05:38] Dagmar: Either they dropped it or he dropped it
[22:06:04] j-rod: laga_: its usable, its plenty fast enough for 2D, Xv is functional
[22:06:12] AndyCap: but, if I'm going for crappy performance my money goes to intel instead of nvidia. :)
[22:06:36] j-rod: also, Red Hat actually employs people actively working on nouveau
[22:06:42] laga_: ah, neat

[22:07:46] Dagmar: Give me a fucking break with trying to tell me how to set it up
[22:07:54] Dagmar: If the damn thing worked without a config file I would have let it run that way.

[22:44:20] juski: J-e-f-f-A: another thing. X10 sucks
[22:44:59] juski: especially if you live in CFL land :(
[22:45:21] J-e-f-f-A: juski: It's not *that* bad... It's cheap, and works 95% of the time... ^^ Yeah CFLs cause issues because of the noise they generate on the AC line...
[22:46:20] J-e-f-f-A: juski: The new stuff, "Insteon" is really nice, but very pricey...
[22:46:56] iamlindoro: juski, so when will I see the ability to crossfade a dynamic imagetype?  ;)
[22:47:10] iamlindoro: Should be simple for a GL expert such as yourself :)
[22:47:15] juski: heh

[22:47:39] ** iamlindoro dislikes the "splat" of fanart while moving through the library **
[22:48:06] juski: I have some free time this weekend so it'll be a good chance to start bashing some test apps together to get the hang of some more basic concepts
[22:48:35] juski: the plus being, I can do that part on windows :)
[22:48:38] Guest1132 (Guest1132!n=David@nat/ti/x-pilygfebazprnhwp) has quit (Remote closed the connection)

[22:48:49] iamlindoro: heh, yeah :)
[22:48:55] juski: though I might not be able to get the tools I need to do that
[22:49:11] juski: can you not just wait til qt4.6?
[22:49:13] juski: :P
[22:49:21] iamlindoro: Say what you will about stupid flaming windows, I think we could really use someone who knows compiz internals
[22:49:42] juski: even compiz doesn't use shaders exclusively AFAIK
[22:50:05] juski: there were discussions around "muhh, what about users with gf2?"
[22:50:22] iamlindoro: Heh, sounds as though you've done far more research on it than I
[22:50:49] juski: the concept of shader code is simple enough. translating it into something *I* can use in the painter is something else
[22:51:04] juski: like there's enough stuff I can pinch to do the effects we (you) want
[22:51:08] juski: ;)
[22:51:21] iamlindoro: heh
[22:51:31] juski: just getting my head around how to make myth do it.. that's the gazillion dowwar question
[22:51:59] juski: shader code can be slung in from files, text strings, structs..
[22:52:33] juski: it might even be easier than I think
[22:52:44] juski: just gotta make some more er.. leaps
[22:54:24] juski: might be some mileage in getting the gl painter to scale the images on the fly too, but abstracting out the decision making stuff will be a BITCH
[22:55:08] juski: if $paintersupportsthis { dostuff} else do_other_stuff BLECH
[22:55:45] laga_: i think those curly braces need to be on new lines :)
[22:55:50] juski: I just put one case in while I was playing with the rotation trick & it was a right mess, testing here there & everywhere
[22:56:04] juski: so that'd need one major MF'ing refactor
[22:57:26] juski: even if we start to use qt 4.x's native ability to use different painters itself it'd still involve bastards of rewriting & that wouldn't be nice for anyone

[22:59:21] iamlindoro: 4.6 seems like it'll be '10 at the earliest
[22:59:22] juski: maybe for 5.0 then
[22:59:40] juski: by that time I'll be an old man
[22:59:53] tmkt: any changes this week in mythtv-fixes? FE crashed twice today..hasnt crashed on me in months
[23:00:07] i_is_cat: ok so.. i seem to have mythweb running.. i dunno what was wrong, but what i did was download the 0.21-fixes mythweb and used the mythweb.conf file from it but kept mythweb the same as the one from trunk.. now it seems ok
[23:00:09] juski: and nobody will even need mythtv cos all our teevees will do everything we want, right? ;)
[23:00:20] i_is_cat: and if theres any serious issues with doing that lemme know now before i hose everything plz lol
[23:00:36] juski: right I is going to bedfordshire
[23:00:36] juski: nn all
[23:00:53] juski: if I manage to scrobble anything gl related over the weekend I'll post teaser shots
[23:01:53] tmkt: who does mythgallery? i'd love to add flickr to it

[23:04:15] tmkt: ok
[23:04:18] tmkt: perfect
[23:04:31] laga_: flickr would be nice
[23:04:36] laga_: please don't fsck it up ;)
[23:04:37] tmkt: so just go crazy with what is in svn
[23:04:50] tmkt: i hate having my images on the hd and flickr
[23:05:02] iamlindoro: just download code, generate patches, open a ticket w/ them when you're done
[23:05:25] tmkt: i'd like to get gallery to import the pictures from the usb/camera stuff, and ask to upload to flickr, and display flickr images, and get rid of the local hd stuff
[23:05:28] tmkt: will do
[23:05:31] tmkt: guess its all C?
[23:05:39] iamlindoro: C++/Qt4
[23:05:44] tmkt: ok..
[23:06:30] tmkt: have October off
[23:06:46] tmkt: so lots of time for that
[23:08:57] meshe: could you make the backend for that pluggable? not everyone wants/likes flickr
[23:09:21] iamlindoro: Yes, was just going to suggest same
[23:09:26] iamlindoro: I want smugmug :)
[23:09:30] tmkt: probably not.. i could see myself making it flexible for other web services
[23:09:49] tmkt: but can't see myself developing the other ones which I have no pasion for
[23:09:58] meshe: thats all i'd ask, then we could write for our favorite gallery site
[23:10:00] iamlindoro: flexibility is more than enough
[23:10:06] tmkt: ok
[23:10:08] tmkt: will do
[23:10:08] iamlindoro: and docs on writing for the interface
[23:11:10] tmkt: sure thing
[23:11:23] jduggan: wtf, i cant find the jump amount setting under playback settings, isnt it under 'Seeking' page?? i only have fastforward/rewind for sticky keys as a figure there..
[23:11:38] jduggan: 0.21-fixes btw
[23:12:56] i_is_cat: my roommate is irritated by the auto detect adjust fill thing when playing livetv lol
[23:13:12] iamlindoro: so teach him to turn it off :)
[23:13:22] i_is_cat: lol its a her and i showed her.. i just think its funny
[23:13:35] i_is_cat: i like the feature personally..
[23:14:52] i_is_cat: hmmm just testing this terra theme.. aside from the butt ugly colours its pretty nice
[23:15:13] iamlindoro: I'm sure the author appreciates the tactless description

[23:15:58] iamlindoro: No, really, she's nice
[23:16:14] i_is_cat: lol my mom is nice and she sorta of is a whore which i find pretty funny

[23:19:16] i_is_cat: mindoms, you got that right
[23:21:59] i_is_cat: i wonder if theres a way i could add something to myth that would allow you to change the colours of the themes within myth instead of having to go and edit the files.. would that be possible? not really sure how it all works..

[23:23:18] i_is_cat: not i
[23:23:39] i_is_cat: used it with a shaw cable box before.. one of the bigger motorola ones..
[23:24:32] acidbreez: did you just use a tv tuner card with it?
[23:25:02] i_is_cat: uh.. ya it was either a pvr350 or a pvr150 cant remember
[23:25:47] iamlindoro: i_is_cat, that would not really be possible. Aside from text, and if using the shape widget (which is fairly minimally used) colors aren't defined in themes, they're hardcoded images
[23:25:56] i_is_cat: and the mceusb from the pvr150 was used to blast the channels and such
[23:26:20] i_is_cat: iamlindoro, i thought that might be how its done.. oh well..
[23:28:44] i_is_cat: i set manson to record the other night and it said it was recording but both my tuners were left open and available and now i went to check the previously recorded section of myth and it shows its there taking space but it wont play or anything.. wtf? lol i deleted it so theres no point in trying to fix it now but wtf??

[23:35:39] iamlindoro: Me? Noooooooo
[23:38:37] iamlindoro: cesman, I really would like to think of a way to get people interested/on broad theming, though
[23:38:49] iamlindoro: Maybe some sort of competition?
[23:39:27] iamlindoro: ie six months to create the theme, due by .23 – 4 weeks, w/ a free year of SD for each person to submit a theme, and some fanciness for the winner?
[23:39:36] mindoms: ever had the problem that a cpu forgot how to do feholdexcept after an suspen tpo ram?
[23:39:42] iamlindoro: gbee, ^^ ?
[23:39:59] iamlindoro: (though obviously there'd have to be some sort of comparable participation prize for non-NA users)
[23:40:03] laga_: mindoms: what?
[23:40:13] iamlindoro: s/on broad/on board/
[23:41:24] mindoms: thats some system call/ instruction ... something with the floating point environment on the cpu. my laptop always failod on that after an suspend2ram. and mythfrontend uses that system call

[23:43:23] iamlindoro: heh
[23:44:13] iamlindoro: would need to be very clearly delineated, ie can only win w/ a "complete" theme, what constitutes a complete theme, what license terms the theme would need to be released under, etc.
