[00:00:20] laga: that would require some LD_LIBRARY_PATH magic i assume
[00:00:48] poodyp (poodyp!n=poodyp@cpe-98-148-122-5.socal.res.rr.com) has joined #mythtv-users
[00:00:59] matt23: or a runtime ld change
[00:01:04] iamlindoro: matt23, yes, those are on the same multiplex
[00:01:10] matt23: perhaps putting a /usr/local/mythtv/lib2 first
[00:01:17] matt23: iam: thx, wasn't sure
[00:01:19] iamlindoro: np
[00:01:42] iamlindoro: ie when they share the same major channel number but different minor channel number, that's one mux
[00:05:35] matt23: heh should get my perl/sort on and find out which one has the most
[00:06:35] Dagmar: Looks like the first winner in the "evade Dagmar's new firewall rules" contest is...
[00:06:37] Dagmar: BUDAPEST
[00:06:44] Dagmar: *plonk*
[00:07:03] Dagmar: Which member of the underfunded EU countries will be next to go in the banlist?
[00:08:47] matt23: 11 89.5 4 Comcast Hometown
[00:08:51] matt23: 998 98.12 4 CTCH (color bars)
[00:08:55] matt23: i'll take the former, thx
[00:09:01] matt23: er i mean latter! heh
[00:09:24] Dagmar: That damn colorbars channel always seems to be on reruns when I check it
[00:09:29] iamlindoro: those are on different multiplexes
[00:09:32] matt23: dude, they just stopped trying
[00:09:41] matt23: it's just a paycheck to them now
[00:09:46] Dagmar: Yep.
[00:09:47] Dagmar: Sad really.
[00:09:57] matt23: hah you could go nuts recording these...
[00:10:00] matt23: 963 121.13 2 FM-KSJO
[00:10:00] matt23: 964 121.14 2 FM-KNGY
[00:10:00] matt23: 965 121.15 2 FM-KRZZ
[00:10:20] matt23: etc .. 33 of them
[00:10:32] Dagmar: Just record one episode for the wife and tell her it's being updated with each daily episode for her
[00:10:34] matt23: wonder what bandwidth they allow
[00:10:42] iamlindoro: matt23, Just for clarity, wanted to note that your color bars example is not one multiplex
[00:10:53] iamlindoro: the 33/channel one is all audio channels
[00:10:53] matt23: honey, i just got ColorBars HD from tvtorrents
[00:11:04] iamlindoro: 38 Mbit/33 = plenty for audio
[00:11:08] matt23: iam: yah i got that, so i have to make a choice! :(  :D
[00:11:10] Dagmar: Shhh! No piracy talk!
[00:11:27] matt23: er sir, i only use tvtorrents for downloading public access shows like ColorBars
[00:11:50] matt23: <iamlindoro> 38 Mbit/33 = plenty for audio
[00:11:53] ** kormoc eyes matt23 **
[00:11:54] Dagmar: If they busted you for that, I would appeal to the press
[00:11:59] matt23: heh yeah and Sirius and XM have plenty of room for audio
[00:12:07] matt23: for 20 channels...
[00:12:13] matt23: or 100+ crappy sounding ones
[00:12:25] matt23: dagmar: thx man that means a lot
[00:12:28] iamlindoro: > 1Mbit for an audio stream is pretty damn good IMO
[00:12:32] matt23: oh ..advice. gotcha
[00:12:32] Dagmar: "I am being subject to a shakedown from the RIAA's law firm over my piracy of an NTSC test signal."
[00:12:38] matt23: hwh
[00:12:41] matt23: heh too
[00:13:40] kormoc: iamlindoro: 6x better then cd audio is absolutely horrible!
[00:13:44] iamlindoro: kormoc, heh
[00:14:04] iamlindoro: especially given it's being allotted to FM stations :)
[00:14:06] matt23: who wha? i didn't say it was bad!
[00:14:30] kormoc: you implied it was bad...
[00:14:31] matt23: i don't actually trust the entities to use the appropriate bandwidth though..e.g. Sirius, XM
[00:14:38] matt23: ^^
[00:14:57] kormoc: how is Sirius/XM related at all to the audio channels comcast is sending out?
[00:15:03] matt23: well i regret that you inferred what i wasn't implying
[00:15:05] matt23: omg
[00:15:17] matt23: hey, how about that local sports team?
[00:15:31] laga: good game
[00:15:40] Dagmar: Peter snagged a cool power
[00:15:52] matt23: two words: sticky wicket
[00:15:53] kormoc: the power to finally get a plot?
[00:16:17] iamlindoro: He harnesses the raw power of hanging plot threads to destroy his enemies
[00:16:38] iamlindoro: go go gadget Irish chick Stuck In the Future!
[00:16:44] iamlindoro: go go gadget third twin!
[00:16:51] iamlindoro: go go gadget Nissan Versa!
[00:16:59] matt23: Irish chick Stuck In the Future heh
[00:17:28] wagnerrp: go go gadget missing petrelli grandchildren
[00:17:53] iamlindoro: hah, there's another

[00:19:29] matt23: off to my 4wheeled climate changer
[00:19:39] Josh__: Matt
[00:19:41] Dagmar: iamlindoro: We're not watching it for the ironclad plot resolutions
[00:19:44] Der-Tim (Der-Tim!n=tkorves@irc.der-t.im) has joined #mythtv-users
[00:19:51] Dagmar: We're watching it to see people do whacked-out superhero stuff
[00:20:04] Dagmar: Peter bouncing around like Spiderman on empty webtanks qualifies for me
[00:20:08] mchou (mchou!n=quassel@c-67-160-223-78.hsd1.ca.comcast.net) has joined #mythtv-users
[00:20:12] matt23: josh__ you askin for me or some other matt ? heh
[00:20:15] Josh__: "H1's go to WAR – H2's go to "the mall""
[00:20:21] matt23: oh heh
[00:20:27] Josh__: saw that on someone's back window
[00:20:28] Josh__: awesome
[00:20:53] matt23: well i'm stuck changing it at a slower pace in my vw jetta :-P
[00:20:57] Dagmar: It would be cooler if H2's went to hell
[00:21:07] matt23: but at least it's a turbo so when i need to kill a baby polar bear, i just have to floor it
[00:21:20] Dagmar: Drive a two-wheeled vehicle and your view on SUV drivers as a whole will take a turn for the worse.
[00:21:29] matt23: like a segway?
[00:21:33] Josh__: matt23, it's not a real climate changer unless you can smog the other guy at the red light when you stomp the gas.
[00:21:48] Dagmar: Personally, I think the DMVs aversion to mounted anti-SUV weaponry is rather closed-minded.
[00:21:50] ** kormoc blinks **
[00:21:57] matt23: ah well it does burn a bit rich when i step on it does that count? heh
[00:22:02] kormoc: matt23: yes, a segway, they're so very common on the streets and highways....
[00:22:04] ** Josh__ has actually done that in a street race **
[00:22:10] Josh__: poor guy had his windows down
[00:22:11] matt23: kormoc: i keed.
[00:22:18] ** Josh__ laughs his ass off. **
[00:22:27] Dagmar: Gimme a waiver on that and I'll have faring-mounted tasers to market in less than a month.
[00:22:31] wagnerrp: Josh__: HMMWVs go to war, H1s go to people compensating for something
[00:22:53] Josh__: wagnerrp, that's too big for a bumper sticker :)
[00:23:09] Dagmar: Some dimwit in an SUV tries to merge into you and electrodes will automatically "reach out and touch" their ECU into braindead. Another hummer off the road for safety's sake
[00:23:11] kormoc: m1a1's go to war, the rest of you stop deluding yourselves...
[00:24:26] matt23: next you'll tell me my segway isn't going to war
[00:24:31] paperclip: grr.. newegg is charging me a restocking fee for that raid card..
[00:24:31] matt23: http://bexhuff.com/files/images/china-militar . . . iny-guns.jpg
[00:25:00] kormoc: matt23: you can go ride your segway into the nearest mine field...
[00:25:23] matt23: damn skippy, it has a triangular bottom and kevlar wheels
[00:25:34] matt23: still haven't solved the being flipped 17 feet in the air part
[00:26:04] Dagmar: paperclip: Was it defective or did you just want to return it?
[00:26:23] paperclip: it doesn't support drives > 1Tb
[00:26:37] wagnerrp: matt23: AP mines dont have enough explosive power to do that
[00:26:38] Dagmar: Wow. That kinda sucks.
[00:26:42] paperclip: this "defect" is not mentioned on Adaptec or NewEggs site..
[00:26:57] Dagmar: Well, you're clear to be able to mention that in the review section now
[00:27:00] paperclip: it took 3 days for adaptec to email me..
[00:27:01] Dagmar: ...which is a good thing.
[00:27:13] paperclip: true
[00:27:18] matt23: hey adaptec is real busy..writing documentation. er wait n/m

[00:27:40] kormoc: what model is it?
[00:27:46] mchou: call customer service
[00:28:23] mchou: paperclip: you can then forward adaptec's email
[00:28:41] mchou: new egg has live chat too
[00:29:05] paperclip: 2420sAdaptec 2254200-R PCI-X SATA II RAID
[00:30:42] paperclip: live chatting now..
[00:31:33] mchou: paperclip: if you get no satisfaction then escalate
[00:32:15] paperclip: "Unfortunately, we are only able to guarantee what is posted on our website. All RMA requests placed online are subject to the restocking fee. On refund RMA's there is always a 15% restocking fee. However, we are willing to make an exception and I have waived the restocking fee."
[00:32:34] Dagmar: Nice
[00:32:43] Dagmar: I had hopes
[00:32:52] paperclip: that was so easy :)
[00:33:18] mchou: now ask for a shipping label :)
[00:34:00] paperclip: you just print it from the RMA request form..

[01:22:08] Wicked: this may be a dumb question...but i have cable from comcast and im thinking about getting a second tv card and someone here mentioned a HVR-1600. If i put a splitter in between the cable from the wall and the stb...then ran a cable to the stb and the to the atsc/qam hook up would i be able to record 2 diff things at the same time? also to be able to use the atsc/qam connector...do you need special wiring? im pretty sure we have digital cable..but
[01:22:08] Wicked: inside our house is the same old cable we have always had
[01:22:36] Dagmar: Why would you not be able to
[01:23:06] Wicked: i dont know. im not familiar with how that card works or atsc/qam
[01:23:07] Dagmar: ...as to the rest, I'm sure you can find pictuers of the HVR-1600 at some online site which will explain the rest.
[01:23:21] Dagmar: Obviously, you need a coax splitter.
[01:23:40] Dagmar: Whether or not you'll need a signal amp depends on whether or not your cable feed has enough power
[01:23:49] Wicked: yea. but as for the cable...they dont put new cable in your house for digital right?

[01:24:13] Dagmar: ...of course, whether or not you're going to be able to pick up anything useful from the cable without an STB is probably bad odds
[01:24:37] Dagmar: We have no way of knowing what your cable company does
[01:24:53] Dagmar: I will say that there's literally zero chance it won't be "more boring old coax"
[01:25:07] Dagmar: You won't need to worry about that
[01:25:23] Dagmar: Back to the real show-stopper, the ClearQAM problem
[01:25:38] Dagmar: Digital cable programming is almost *always* encrypted
[01:25:55] Dagmar: You won't pick up anything "in the clear" that's not a station that is being broadcast in the clear using an antenna somewhere
[01:26:02] Dagmar: ...because that's an FCC requirement.
[01:26:30] Dagmar: Otherwise, you wouldn't be getting anything over cable unencrypted
[01:26:45] Dagmar: So, plan on a set top box probably being part of your future for digital cable
[01:26:53] Dagmar: Over the air ATSC, any non-such antenna will do
[01:26:58] Dagmar: It's not encrypted
[01:27:23] Wicked: ah right
[01:27:41] Dagmar: s/non-such/non-suck/;
[01:27:41] Wicked: but i should be able to get the standard local channels.
[01:27:55] Wicked: would capturing over the qam be higher quality?
[01:28:40] Dagmar: Probably wouldn't matter
[01:29:25] Wicked: ah ok. thanks for the info :)
[01:29:39] Dagmar: Your cable company might be re-encoding, but probebly not
[01:30:29] Wicked: its comcast in northeast usa

[03:51:10] Dagmar: You have to hit the power button after telling the machine to reboot?
[03:51:26] wagnerrp: im trying to move all my myth systems to a single boot image, each with a relatively small unionfs overlay
[03:51:55] wagnerrp: i want to be able to be able to cycle all the machines into a 'holding image' whenever i want to update the base image
[03:52:13] wagnerrp: and ive never had much luck with WOL
[03:52:16] Dagmar: Hmm...
[03:52:56] Dagmar: So... why would duplicating the image, modifying it, changing what the central server shares, and then rebooting them be a problem?
[03:53:38] Dagmar: Seems like the simplest way around the problem to me
[03:53:42] wagnerrp: well i would have to precisely time all the machines rebooting, with swapping out the image
[03:54:11] wagnerrp: either that, or i just make a script that changes their default boot sequence in pxelinux
[03:55:06] Dagmar: Wait...
[03:55:27] Dagmar: You should be able to just change the image and then restart any userspace stuff that uses it
[03:56:13] Dagmar: A script that jumps you run runlevel 4/5 to 2 and then back to 4/5 should do it

[04:31:29] mchou: lol
[04:31:30] [R]: this is very annoying... every now and then i'll be watching something (using vdpau) and the frontend decides to crap itself and starts to use 100% cpu and then it kills my hdpvr... after like 15 minutes of solid kill -9 on various processes i can recover my system... is there something i can do to figure out why thsi is happening?
[04:31:33] Dagmar: No, I just don't care what you think because you're a dick.
[04:32:26] Dagmar: [R]: It's likely happening because it's trunk, or because the recordings are coming down slightly corrupted, or any number of things.
[04:32:30] mchou: Dagmar: no, you don't care cause you dont know, and dont have enough deep understanding of linear algebra beyond arithmetic manipulation
[04:32:37] [R]: Dagmar: my X tends to use 100% also
[04:32:55] Dagmar: [R]: Having the frontend started in a way that writes anything it says to stdout/stderr to a file so you can look at it later will help
[04:33:02] Dagmar: mchou: Back into the ignore list, fucktard
[04:33:22] [R]: Dagmar: i do, but theres not much, just that there was an audio underrun and vdpau got preempted

[04:36:44] Dagmar: Good, you don't have to worry about it then
[04:37:10] Dagmar: There must be some other reason your HDPVR which has nothing to do with your CPU load at all mysteriously stops working when your CPU load is high
[04:37:17] Dagmar: Perhaps they're Corsican devices
[04:37:40] [R]: well my theory was that the kernel wasn't processing the usb packets cuz my runaway process was using 100% cpu
[04:38:19] Dagmar: How about that "if your CPU is otherwise occupied, it can't even listen to the USB bus anymore"

[05:23:51] wagnerrp: as in... it has no location for your area?
[05:24:18] wagnerrp: try various different searches for different names for your area, different major cities around
[05:24:18] matt23: i think some fields changed, there are 3 or 4 that throw a concat error
[05:24:45] matt23: so i went in and nuked those 4 and got the script to run without errors
[05:25:07] matt23: but i can't seem to convince mythweather on the frontend to use the script/source.
[05:25:16] matt23: hm maybe i should put my script in my src dir and reinstall
[05:25:58] matt23: bbc-current-xml is nice and all, and is working, but seems to be like 5 hours behind heh
[05:27:08] matt23: hm another mythweather update in svn eh

[05:55:39] [R]: like visual noise...
[05:57:37] matt23: er you sure that's not the vbi?
[05:57:59] [R]: its from my hdpvr
[05:58:20] [R]: thats how it looked when i watched it on my cable box also

[06:00:23] Dagmar: It's still rather likely VBI or some similar mechanism
[06:00:38] [R]: ok, so can i get rid of it some automatic way?
[06:00:43] [R]: like crop for certain channels ro something?
[06:01:06] Dagmar: You can put together a custom user job that will transcode it out if you like
[06:01:22] [R]: i think i remember a filter filters option per channel?
[06:01:28] Dagmar: ...but the honest truth is that it would probably be there if you were watching the video directly
[06:01:28] [R]: video filters*
[06:01:44] Dagmar: afaik that doesn't really apply to the HD-PVR
[06:01:46] [R]: it is... i see it when i watch directly from the cable box
[06:01:54] [R]: oh well
[06:01:57] [R]: i'll just deal i guess
[06:02:06] Dagmar: It's not tuning so much as it is picking up on the digital stream, which specifies each and every pixel in each 1920x1080 or whatever frame
[06:02:30] Dagmar: Yeah if you transcode out one or two scan lines, you're just going to get image degradation you didn't want
[06:02:40] matt23: sounds like your tv itself has a bit of underscan ? weird
[06:02:52] matt23: and does that happen with atsc now?

[06:06:53] wagnerrp: they are supposed to crop and convert the VBI data
[06:07:01] wagnerrp: but instead, they just expect overscan to take care of it
[06:08:56] [R]: well that's lame
[06:08:57] Dagmar: ...which is freaking sad since there's no excuse for that to make it into the wrong place in a _digital_ transmission
[06:09:33] Dagmar: wagnerrp: Since you were probably here and saw it I'll apologize to the channel as a whole for cussing at mchou earlier

[06:11:19] mchou: wagnerrp: I was being a dict for asking him the geometrical interpretation of determinant?

[06:11:54] paperclip: i once called bellsouth to let them know their dns server was down.. the guy told me they used dhcp and didn't need dns..
[06:12:33] wagnerrp: you were being a dick for making an insulting argument when there was no purpose to it
[06:12:53] wagnerrp: you were picking a fight
[06:12:54] mchou: wagnerrp: it's clear dagmar didn't even know what linear algebra was when 'he mentioned I took algebra and trig in 9th grade'
[06:13:17] [R]: paperclip: haha
[06:13:19] wagnerrp: he was talking about the stuff on the show
[06:13:21] matt23: paperclip: it's dynamic now, thanks to microsoft
[06:13:27] wagnerrp: which was basic algebra
[06:13:39] wagnerrp: not advanced calculus
[06:13:58] mchou: wagnerrp: exactly. doesnt have much to do with linear algebra AT ALL
[06:13:58] paperclip: so.. i say.. how do you resolve ip addresses for things like yahoo.com?
[06:14:04] paperclip: that was not in the script..
[06:14:30] mchou: wagnerrp: vector spaces. all that jazz. In other words Dagmar was out of his depth
[06:14:32] Dagmar: Especially irksome is that my kindergarden and third grade teacher (had her twice, she should have been fired when I was in Kindergarten) actually screwed me over big time when I *completed* the IQ test they gave us
[06:15:08] matt23: dude you can't complete the kobayashi maru
[06:15:10] Dagmar: Redneck elementary school suddenly has some kid _complete_ one and they get freaked out and ask questions and don't know any better when the kid's teacher tells them that she saw me _cheating_ on it
[06:15:32] matt23: well of course you were, you had the Cliff's Notes to IQ Tests for 3rd Graders
[06:15:35] Dagmar: You can't cheat on those things, but they don't know that because they're hillbillies and rednecks ten feet deep over there
[06:15:55] Dagmar: So I got to take it again, with her, my mother, and the freaking principle looming over me
[06:16:04] Dagmar: I was so freaked out I never got to the last seven.
[06:16:07] Dagmar: That gets you a 135.
[06:16:28] Dagmar: I skipped the last seven on every IQ test they gave after that. 135 every time.
[06:16:50] matt23: shoulda just skipped the last one, thus not completing it
[06:16:54] Dagmar: I caught enough flak from my parents about not having straight A's as it was without them having an even higher number to cite
[06:17:41] Dagmar: "You're a genius so you should be doing better in those classes. You're just so lazy." blah blah blah
[06:18:27] mchou: dagmar is a genius in his own mind
[06:19:04] Dagmar: They need to make kids who are in algebra play WoW now.
[06:19:08] mchou: [21:31:21] <Dagmar> They started us on Algebra in the 9th grade, and that was public school.
[06:19:08] [R]: is it possilbe to get the resolution information for a recording?
[06:19:18] Dagmar: yes
[06:19:53] Dagmar: ffmpeg can tell you, but I prefer to use the midentify binary, which is part of MPlayer
[06:20:14] Dagmar: It's got a cool mode that can emit all the information as key=value pairs you can put to use with your code.
[06:20:32] RyeBrye: I once heard a mother discussing her child's above-average height. "She's always in the one-hundred fifth percentile." It was clear that her mother was not in the "105%" of her stats class.
[06:20:33] wagnerrp: i thought midentify was just a wrapper script
[06:20:37] Dagmar: It is
[06:20:44] mchou: Dagmar: I dont know of a public school that DOESNT start algebra in the ninth grad. In fact in virtually a schhols you must pass algrebra at the end of 9th grade in order to move on to trig/geometry
[06:20:46] Dagmar: Works freaking great
[06:20:53] mchou: greade*
[06:21:11] Dagmar: VLC will occasionally tell me some whacked things, but midentify always seems to be able to tell with the stranger codecs

[06:23:17] matt23: we did algebra in 8th grade..and thus began my long drawn out split from the joy of math
[06:23:42] Dagmar: Yeah, a kid in the eighth grade has NO context for that stuff yet
[06:23:47] [R]: Dagmar: midentify is saying 0/0 for the width and height
[06:23:59] Dagmar: [R]: So lord only knows what's going on in that file then
[06:24:05] [R]: it's from the hdpvr
[06:24:06] Dagmar: ...or mplayer doesn't have support for that codec
[06:24:24] Dagmar: So does it at least realize it's h.264?
[06:24:29] Dagmar: It *should*
[06:24:46] Dagmar: matt23: ...however, now there's World of Warcraft
[06:24:50] matt23: heh
[06:24:50] [R]: mplayer can play it
[06:25:10] Dagmar: matt23: Unfortunately, the damn game is so complex that you HAVE to use advanced calculus to accurately predict what a given set of gear can do.
[06:25:16] Dagmar: *DING*
[06:25:29] matt23: you're right, put it in a curriculum
[06:25:30] Dagmar: Houston, we have context suitable for 8th graders.
[06:25:56] Dagmar: You could easily explain algebra to them in terms of game mechanics, even if they'd never played
[06:27:21] Dagmar: The only thing that made it click for me was that I started dabbling in computer animation
[06:27:32] [R]: i'm using like 60% cpu on xv playback
[06:27:35] [R]: that doesnt seem right
[06:27:50] Dagmar: If you're playing back a big h.264 stream it might well be
[06:27:56] [R]: well its 480p h264
[06:28:04] wagnerrp: [R]: youre using a P4 Celeron, dont expect much
[06:28:08] [R]: haha
[06:28:12] Dagmar: You're getting off easy
[06:28:35] [R]: i have issues with vdpau, so if i could avoid using it in certain situations, it would be best
[06:28:40] Dagmar: A 1080 stream can bring my old 2.2Ghz maching to it's knees
[06:29:05] wagnerrp: 1080 what?
[06:29:06] Dagmar: h.264 looooves the taste of your clockcycles
[06:29:15] [R]: lol
[06:29:25] Dagmar: wagnerrp: Big Buck Bunny
[06:29:38] ** paperclip needs to download that again **
[06:29:46] Dagmar: Some of the versions of that you could really tell the CPU was about 15% shy of what it needed to be
[06:29:55] [R]: well the opengl renderer uses even more
[06:29:59] [R]: guess i'm stuck with vdpau

[06:31:29] [R]: i think i read somewhere... just want to confirm it... you can't set the playback decoder based on the codec right?
[06:31:44] wagnerrp: that is correct
[06:31:46] wagnerrp: resolution only
[06:32:02] ** [R] ponders how difficult it would be to do that **

[06:32:14] Dagmar: Didn't help. Heh
[06:32:32] Dagmar: [R]: Make a few and delete them
[06:32:38] [R]: Dagmar: ?
[06:32:58] wagnerrp: the standard suggestion is to nuke the whole system and replace it
[06:33:04] mgisbers is now known as mgisbers_away
[06:33:04] Dagmar: Just go into that bit of the config menus, add a new profile, and fill in the blanks in what looks like it makes sense to you
[06:33:16] Dagmar: THen look at what you get, maybe compare it to the ones that were in there before, and make a decision
[06:33:33] wagnerrp: ~$150 will get you an AMD system capable of playing HDPVR recordings in software
[06:33:55] Dagmar: Yeah that's about what I spent on this motherboard and CPU I'm using now
[06:34:03] Dagmar: 2.6ghz core
[06:34:03] [R]: yeah i know
[06:34:28] [R]: this is what i had, so i figured i might as well see what it can do
[06:34:40] Dagmar: What video card do you have in it?
[06:34:44] [R]: 8400GS
[06:34:59] Dagmar: Well, if vdpau works you're probably set
[06:35:00] [R]: wagnerrp: how fast do you need it?
[06:35:06] [R]: Dagmar: its flaky
[06:35:15] [R]: like i said before, sometimes my frontend will just crap itself and start using 100% cpu
[06:35:31] [R]: i think i need to throw more ram in there
[06:35:33] [R]: see what happens
[06:35:58] [R]: right now top claims the frontend is using 60% ram
[06:36:16] Dagmar: Now that I know you have the dinky P4 tho, something else you said makes perfect sense
[06:36:28] Dagmar: Yes, you are GOING to have problems doing USB transfers when the machine is under high CPU load
[06:36:38] [R]: but it *shouldn't* be
[06:36:39] [R]: tahts the thing
[06:36:45] wagnerrp: [R]: you can get a 2.9 Athlon II for $70
[06:36:57] wagnerrp: that should manage full bitrate recordings off an HDPVR
[06:37:28] [R]: i teally hate how no one says how fast the processor is anymmore... you gotta lookup on the magic decoder ring
[06:38:06] Dagmar: Yeah but it only takes like two nights of poking around with Google and NewEgg to get up to speed
[06:38:08] wagnerrp: or depending on your board, it may be cheaper to pick up an Allendale chip (pentium dual-core and low end core2)
[06:38:14] matt23: well know that low level2 cache (like a celeron) is generally not good for math

[06:42:12] [R]: so the onboard video isn't that important
[06:42:26] Dagmar: Both of those will take literalyl any AMD CPU you want to throw at them, boatloads of RAM, and that one has PCIe slots, etc
[06:43:06] Dagmar: DDR2, but not such a big deal for this
[06:43:24] wagnerrp: the video chip makes no difference for decoding, only deinterlacing
[06:43:39] [R]: i could not get stable recording with 1080i

[06:59:47] hachi_ is now known as hachi
[07:00:10] hachi: hey, is there a decently safe way I can scan for new channels with my mythtv?
[07:00:11] mchou: way too lazy to use shift for punctuations
[07:00:16] hachi: on a digital card
[07:00:24] mchou: hachi: depends where you are
[07:00:36] [R]: safe?
[07:00:38] hachi: soviet america
[07:00:43] [R]: are you worried about yoru computer catching fire or something?
[07:00:54] hachi: I don't want it to destroy my existing channel settings
[07:00:58] mchou: hachi: QAM? ATSC?
[07:01:03] hachi: cause I spent a while naming the channels
[07:01:09] mchou: hachi: back up the DB
[07:01:12] [R]: hachi: thats what backups were invented for
[07:01:15] hachi: hang on, I'll figure that out as soon as I can get -setup to launch
[07:01:22] mchou: ???
[07:01:26] hachi: okiedokie
[07:01:30] hachi: fair enough
[07:01:58] mchou: hachi: QAM, ATSC for source?
[07:02:19] hachi: one of those two, I'm looking to see specifically which now
[07:02:25] mchou: god
[07:02:27] mchou: wtf
[07:02:58] wagnerrp: broadcast or cable?
[07:05:58] hachi: cable, mythtv says "QAM subtype ATSC"

[07:12:26] mchou: hachi: read the mythtv official docs
[07:12:34] mchou: it's all covered in there
[07:13:02] justinh: default scan settings should work most of the time
[07:13:10] mchou: lol
[07:13:29] justinh: and if you can't 'find any decent way to figure out the scan settings' surely that just means you can't figure out what settings to use :P
[07:13:30] hachi: bad timing justinh, I'm talking about a DVB card :]
[07:13:38] mchou: justinh, you dont even understand the context since you just joined
[07:13:54] justinh: figured that much, since analogue scanning is of little relevance
[07:14:03] [R]: oh man
[07:14:06] [R]: i love it when cops is in HD
[07:14:26] [R]: i really hate buying stuff from china on ebay... i really need my optical audio cable
[07:14:40] mchou: justinh: then why did you say this? [00:13:02] <justinh> default scan settings should work most of the time
[07:14:54] justinh: been reading up about the BBC's latest bitrate reduction on their 'HD' channel. Seems like their new encoders need bedding in

[07:15:24] mchou: [R]: you cant get an optical cable in whatever country you live?
[07:15:31] [R]: mchou: this one was only $2
[07:15:50] [R]: mchou: i can wait the 2 weeks... i just hate the waiting
[07:15:57] mchou: [R]: that includes shipping?
[07:16:00] [R]: yup
[07:16:09] [R]: buy it now for 0.99 with 0.99 shipping
[07:16:09] sid3windr: dealxtreme ftw though :]
[07:16:11] justinh: hachi: all you need to sort out is whether you need to include encrypted channels or not, and whether or not to ignore audio only channels
[07:16:14] [R]: sid3windr: it was $5 there
[07:16:45] hachi: justinh: how do I figure out whether to scan with QAM-* or whatever, there's a bunch of settings
[07:16:57] hachi: http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Dvbscan
[07:17:04] wagnerrp: hachi: you are using a QAM card with digital cable
[07:17:04] [R]: hachi: if its cable, its qam 256
[07:17:11] xaxes: hey there.. is there any way to get mythfrontend "catched in a window"? I enabled the option, but starting mythfrontend, It takes place about both screens .. after I forced it to go in a window (wmii can do this) it hold the video-size.. so I only see half of mythfrontend..excuse my bad english please ;)
[07:17:13] wagnerrp: you almost certainly want qam-256
[07:17:14] justinh: dvbscan? WTF does that have to do with mythtv?
[07:17:22] wagnerrp: and you want to ignore any encrypted channels
[07:17:25] hachi: I was looking at that page
[07:17:36] hachi: it didn't seem right
[07:17:45] hachi: but I was about to ask if it had anything to do with what I was doing
[07:17:49] justinh: surely when you scan for channels you want them to go right into mythtv, so scan for channels in mythtv-setup
[07:18:06] mchou: lord
[07:18:36] justinh: and btw that's usually after deleting all your channels. seems the best way of catching everything & existing channels being updated properly
[07:18:47] mchou: justinh: not if it's borked, like it has been for the last 2 yrs
[07:19:23] hachi: mchou: if I may ask you... do you think I should be able to use this 'dvbscan' tool to scan for channels on my card?
[07:19:42] mchou: hachi: that's what I recommend
[07:20:02] justinh: mchou: I know it's borked, but that's the 'official' line
[07:20:14] hachi: the reason I thought it didn't seem right is that I can't see any templates that are for my area
[07:20:19] justinh: nothing gets fixed properly but hey it's open source
[07:20:25] hachi: I see germany, and tons of other countries, but none of them are 'us-'
[07:20:27] mchou: hachi: you can TRY the scanner in mythtv-setup but sucess rate on that is low unless you have code base from less than 2 weeks ago
[07:20:50] mchou: justinh: stfu. It's borked for real
[07:20:57] Dagmar: Maybe youv'e gotten dvb-s and dvb-t mixed up
[07:21:18] hachi: no, I've got a very long list... uno momento
[07:21:34] Dagmar: One of them is decidedly not in the US
[07:22:26] hachi: http://nopaste.snit.ch/18020
[07:22:27] justinh: mchou: will you just chill the f out for once? I dunno how the hell you're still here anyway
[07:22:51] hachi: you know, when you two just fight... I can't tell who to believe
[07:22:54] mchou: justinh: not giving out false info, unlike you
[07:22:56] hachi: so I'm listening to you both
[07:23:10] hachi: I used the mythtv scanner last time, it wasn't exactly easy
[07:23:16] justinh: hachi: no point listening to me. I mean according to some all I talk is blatant BS anyway
[07:23:33] mchou: hachi: justinh lives in the UK
[07:23:34] hachi: I'm going to try this scan tool if I can for giggles, maybe I'll like it better
[07:23:51] mchou: hachi: he doesnt know jack shit about systems in the US
[07:24:15] wagnerrp: if those are all the channels you have, somehow you have managed to install dvb-utils without the US frequency sets
[07:24:23] wagnerrp: s/channels/tables/
[07:24:27] justinh: I'm not looking forward to rescanning either. It's always been a total PITA, even without taking into account getting channel icons and using XMLTV for guide data
[07:24:31] hachi: that would be debian for me
[07:24:36] hachi: so I'll dig it out myself
[07:24:39] hachi: thanks debian
[07:25:03] hachi: I bet there was some licensing issue
[07:25:10] mchou: lol
[07:25:18] mchou: there is NO licensing issue
[07:25:22] mchou: wtf??
[07:25:23] wagnerrp: i was under the impression the channels.conf import tool in mythtv did not work properly
[07:25:36] mchou: oh lord
[07:25:38] justinh: er what kind of licensing issue could there be on config files ffs? they're living in debian land
[07:25:53] hachi: even if it doesn't, I may be able to use this tool every couple weeks to make a diff-able output that I can see if there are new channels for me to tune
[07:25:53] justinh: wagnerrp: could be :)
[07:26:14] mchou: you dont need to use myth import of channels.conf
[07:26:33] justinh: hachi: you generally notice you have to rescan when mythtv begins to fail to record spectacularly
[07:26:56] wagnerrp: so this person clearly has no idea what any of these terms means, and you are going to advise him to tinker in the database to add the channels manually?
[07:27:22] mchou: wagnerrp: what are you, daft?
[07:28:08] wagnerrp: merely stating the obvious
[07:28:22] justinh: see, I love open source because of this. So much 'fun' isn't it? :P
[07:28:22] wagnerrp: cant use the scanner, cant use the import tool, what else is left?
[07:28:31] justinh: wagnerrp: magic wand?
[07:29:11] hachi: I'm actually just fine toying with a database... I may not know dvb and other television terminology
[07:29:19] mchou: wagnerrp: the operative fallacy was "manual"
[07:29:47] hachi: but I do talk to the mysql core hackers on a fairly regular basis
[07:29:53] mchou: lol
[07:29:54] hachi: this doesn't help me here though
[07:32:19] mchou: hachi: I wonder if scte65scan works with your cable provider :)
[07:32:43] mchou: hachi: if so, that's the easiest route
[07:32:45] hachi: hah, so... my system DOES have the us channel things... it just wasn't showing them for some bloody reason
[07:32:48] justinh: hachi: but the point is, manual DB wrangling isn't encouraged here. there's a lot can (and generally DOES) go wrong
[07:34:22] hachi: I believe you, I don't plan to play in it
[07:34:44] hachi: at most I plan to back it up, and restore it if I break something

[13:00:08] wombo: ubuntu
[13:00:23] jblack: yeah. ubuntu.
[13:00:30] stuarta: the ubuntu server edition lets you drop a LAMP install in about 5 mins
[13:00:45] Josh__: Hmm, I didnt know ubuntu had a server edition.
[13:00:47] wombo: and then you can just apt-get mythtv
[13:00:53] stuarta: personally i use debian
[13:01:00] stuarta: and roll my own mythtv
[13:01:15] stuarta: basically, whatever you are most comfortable with
[13:01:30] Josh__: I'm not gonna change distros/reintall until 0.22 is released.. I've been using Gentoo on my closet server for years now.
[13:01:45] Josh__: I'm just tired of the circular dependancies and package blocks.

[13:16:26] sid3windr: laga: ah, right, only circumvention of, true; but still, a bit off topic here because it's not about myth per se ;)
[13:16:29] stuarta: however on a server you don't want to be swapping between tasks as much (a context switch) as this lowers overall performance

[15:01:10] Josh__: This is probably a stupid question, but the technical specs for Ubuntu 9.04 "Server Edition" mention nothing about software RAID (mdadm) support?
[15:01:36] Josh__: Is that somethig I should assume it has?
[15:01:56] Josh__: http://www.ubuntu.com/products/whatisubuntu/s . . . chspecs/9.04
[15:02:31] sid3windr: don't assume with ubuntu =)
[15:02:42] iamlindoro: there's nothing to "support," really, all you need is to install the mdadm package
[15:02:57] sid3windr: yes there is
[15:03:04] sid3windr: if you want to be able to run the installer
[15:03:04] sid3windr: :p
[15:03:07] sid3windr: (on softraid)
[15:03:24] ** iamlindoro sighs **
[15:04:10] Josh__: iamlindoro: in Gentoo, I needed to compile support into the kernel.
[15:04:21] iamlindoro: Josh__, not necessary in ubuntu
[15:04:50] Josh__: okay, thanks. So far, it's looking like a feasable migration.
[15:04:51] sid3windr: iamlindoro: you don't do / on raid? :)
[15:05:17] sid3windr: (i don't mean to compile in , I mean to be able to install on softraid ;)
[15:05:34] iamlindoro: sid3windr, Even that is trivial, though in the case of the desktop edition you use the alternate installer
[15:05:41] sid3windr: indeed
[15:05:45] sid3windr: that's what I mean :>
[15:05:52] sid3windr: the "original" blend doesn't do it
[15:06:02] sid3windr: but server will, as it's just like the desktop edition actually just the debian installer

[15:54:55] iamlindoro: if someone can/wants to answer, they shall
[15:54:58] stinger151: ok thx
[15:58:36] stinger151: i have mythtv 0.22 trunk [21955] running with latest s2-lipliani on an s2–3200 and s2–3650 scanned the astra transponder with scan-s2 (found all channels) then imported the channels.conf in mythtv. than delete from channel; and did a scan on all transponders in mythtvsetup found (nearly) all channels
[15:59:04] stinger151: so
[15:59:11] stinger151: tv is working
[15:59:17] stinger151: hd channels are working
[15:59:29] stinger151: but no Eit is comming in
[16:00:09] stinger151: tried leaving the pc 20 hours running without frontend started (i think this is should start active scan after 5 minutes?)
[16:00:42] virtual: eit is not instant, some channels take much time
[16:01:03] stinger151: 20 hours and eit_cache is empty?
[16:01:27] stinger151: not even one entry
[16:01:30] virtual: did you mythfilldatabase ?
[16:01:44] stinger151: yes
[16:02:21] tmkt: Dollhouse any good?
[16:02:29] tmkt: getting hooked on true blood right now
[16:02:42] iamlindoro: Yes, Dollhouse is good
[16:02:53] iamlindoro: First few episodes are Fox screwups, but then it gets very good
[16:03:00] virtual: i have a similar prob, sometimes only a few shows known, rest not.....repair database and mythfill helps from time to time
[16:03:08] iamlindoro: ie classic "play the standalone episodes first, ignoring the story arc" stuff

[16:04:24] virtual: may be related, becaus such blocks could carry eit-info
[16:05:18] stinger151: hmm any vodoo idea what i can do :) ?

[16:24:15] zizzfizzix: wagnerrp: yes
[16:24:31] zizzfizzix: at least my package manager says so
[16:24:45] wagnerrp: what plugin specifically?
[16:25:13] zizzfizzix: mythmusic mythweb etc.
[16:25:26] zizzfizzix: mythvideo probably also
[16:25:33] zizzfizzix: 0.21 version everything
[16:26:20] wagnerrp: well once you restart the frontend, those should show up under 'Media Library'
[16:27:02] wagnerrp: however you will have to go into 'utilities, setup, media settings' and set up their scan folders
[16:27:34] wagnerrp: and then go into their managers under 'utilities', to scan for content
[16:28:01] zizzfizzix: okay wait, how do i set it up from scratch?
[16:28:28] zizzfizzix: mythtv-setup just shows some configs and not that which i want
[16:29:01] wagnerrp: mythtv-setup is for setting up programs that require a restart of the backend
[16:29:10] wagnerrp: s/programs/settings/
[16:29:24] wagnerrp: all other settings are in the frontend, and require the restart of nothing to take effect
[16:30:04] zizzfizzix: but i had bd language etc settings at first run, where will i find them now?
[16:30:20] wagnerrp: eh?
[16:30:35] zizzfizzix: db*
[16:30:37] stinger1511: i think you find them only in the db
[16:31:03] wagnerrp: you should not go into the database unless you absolutely know what youre doing
[16:31:13] wagnerrp: otherwise you will very likely break things
[16:31:26] zizzfizzix: i don't want to touch mysql directly
[16:31:34] zizzfizzix: i meant db connection settings
[16:31:39] zizzfizzix: gui language etc
[16:31:40] stinger1511: if you send only "select statements" you can check everything in the db
[16:32:00] wagnerrp: db connection settings are stored in ~/.mythtv/config.xml
[16:32:05] stinger1511: yes
[16:32:09] wagnerrp: all other settings are stored in the database
[16:32:39] stinger1511:
[16:32:41] wagnerrp: for detailed instructions of how to set up those plugins...
[16:33:03] zizzfizzix: mkay so i have to flush db and what to have vanilla install?
[16:33:12] wagnerrp: go to http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/MythVideo and http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/MythMusic
[16:34:24] wagnerrp: if you screwed up your language, delete the above file to go back through initial setup
[16:35:12] stinger1511: good idea!
[16:35:31] zizzfizzix: ~/.mythtv/config.xml ?
[16:35:46] wagnerrp: thats the default
[16:36:06] wagnerrp: if you have some wrapper script running mythfrontend, it may be elsewhere
[16:36:25] zizzfizzix: okay
[16:36:30] zizzfizzix: will try that in a minute
[16:37:13] wagnerrp: settings are stored on a per-hostname basis, so any user running the setup for the first time (no database config file) will be able to change the language
[16:38:44] stinger1511: someone knows how i can get more output on eit errors in debug than using: -v important,eit,siparser
[16:39:54] stinger1511: forget it i will go with -v all
[16:40:13] wagnerrp: considering you have 'siparser' in there, does that mean you run mythphone?
[16:41:00] stinger1511: no sorry just copyied from some page of the 1000end i googled about that problem
[16:44:48] stinger1511: should this read started acctive scan? (no frontend running) 2009-09–22 18:43:36.256 EITScanner (3): Started passive scan.

[16:55:15] stinger1511: i thought to
[16:55:55] gbee: but vdpau is capable of playing some content (h.264, mpeg2, vlc and in some cases divx)
[16:56:03] wagnerrp: stinger151: mpeg1 (which you dont need support for), mpeg2 (that any modern processor (except for the atom) doesnt need support for), and a subset of h264
[16:56:12] gbee: of course your average toaster can play mpeg2 & divx
[16:56:31] wagnerrp: only the most recent chips (GTX200 series) have support for divx
[16:57:17] gbee: vlc was used for HD-DVD, but is dying with that format (technically it can be used for bluray, but I don't think that happens much)
[16:57:21] wagnerrp: VDPAU cannot play content with too many reference frames
[16:57:41] wagnerrp: gbee: you mean VC-1
[16:57:47] stinger1511: ok
[16:58:22] gbee: heh, yeah
[16:59:37] zizzfizzix: wagnerrp: no it's not what i wanted

[16:59:53] zizzfizzix: phone=rmote control
[17:00:12] zizzfizzix: seems i found the option but remote control app says it can't connect
[17:00:28] wagnerrp: that would be the control socket on port 6546, if you enabled that, you probably have to restart the frontend for that to take effect

[17:16:55] mag0o: rip + cut out first 20 minutes
[17:17:21] justinh: point is, the encryption has never stopped piracy, only put obstacles in the way of people wanting to play stuff in unrestricted ways. gawd, I'm starting to sound like a freetard
[17:17:33] wagnerrp: mag0o: generally, you dont have to cut out the first 20 minutes
[17:17:50] wagnerrp: the ads/trailers are added into the DVD menu system, rather than the actual video file of the movie

[17:25:45] gbee: iamlindoro: aye, I'd probably buy more documentary disks such as Planet Earth if I bought anything
[17:25:48] iamlindoro: As wagnerrp mentioned, the best (and often only) choice is to rip in AnyDVD HD
[17:26:02] wagnerrp: no one has yet bothered to write a program that can understand the menu system, encrypted or not

[17:26:47] wagnerrp: unlicensed program, that is
[17:27:23] justinh: wagnerrp: but my point is that, it's all so they can 'protect' their precious content. Which is now pointless, so they may aswell give up :)
[17:27:54] wagnerrp: yeah, the only extra i ever grab are the commentary audio tracks, and the theatrical trailer if available
[17:28:12] wagnerrp: justinh: theyre still fighting to control DVD, after 14 years
[17:29:02] justinh: maybe it's not all about preventing piracy after all. maybe they just want to control every aspect of how you 'enjoy' the stuff. Eek

[19:21:53] gbee: I worry about someone seeing this as a way of adding torrent support through the backdoor and even if it's never used for illegal stuff, simply combining mythtv + torrent support is going to give the wrong impression to rights holders
[19:21:56] AndrewNC: I mean, I can understand the guy would like pictures for everything, and yeah that would be nice, but unless broadcasters started including them in the signal via some new spec, it ain't happening for free
[19:22:28] paperclip: aren't rights holders not really thrilled with time/place shifting to begin with?
[19:22:37] AndrewNC: gbee: yeah, I was thinking how you'd have to find some mechanism to restrict what that torrent client can share... can of worms
[19:23:21] AndrewNC: plus as a user, I don't necessarily want to broadcast to the internet what artwork is present on my device
[19:23:49] gbee: paperclip: right's holders, i.e. original owners of content don't give a shit, broadcasters might but it's a reality of life, commercial DVRs from big names already offer it and VCRs have done so for well over a decade

[19:27:24] AndrewNC: plenty of clients have web frontends, so you could use the browser and call it a day
[19:27:26] jblack: paperclip: I'll put this a way that makes sense to you. Myth as currently designed gets close to the edge of copyright. The current developers have a justified concern to avoid antagonizing the large rights holders. One good lawsuit, and regardless of right or wrong, and myth could die.

[19:29:19] jblack: It's in about the same place. Some have managed to stick around, others have been sued into obliteration
[19:29:22] gbee: even my moral stance on illegal torrents (or thieving bastards) puts me into an uncomfortable position, because I'm well aware that for several devs it's not a question of morality, they just don't want the legal hassles
[19:29:38] paperclip: IMHO adding libtorrent and pointing it to miro's database would be a non-issue
[19:30:24] jblack: They're not going to complicate one grey area with another grey area. If you want to see that in myth, you'd have to fork it.
[19:30:34] paperclip: most of those podcasts are available as streams anyway..
[19:30:40] gbee: and a week later someone would release packages and patches replacing miro with Pirate Bay et al

[19:32:39] paperclip: heh
[19:32:45] jblack: paperclip: Dude, it's just not gonna happen. The only sufficiently strong argument you could make is "I gathered together several million dollars into a trust fund to defend the devs against frivolous lawsuits. Here's the checkbook". Other than that, you're wasting itme.
[19:33:04] gbee: paperclip: not in perception and actually forking mythtv is extremely difficult – hence why no-one has done it yet
[19:33:06] paperclip: jblack: i didn't start the conversation..
[19:33:14] justinh: like here we are, we don't care where your files come from.. which is kind of where mythtv is but for a couple of niggles.. like parsing groupnames out of files & unraring stuff on the fly (WTF?!)
[19:33:17] jblack: oh, can we drop it then?
[19:33:27] gbee: it would take a large body of people just to sync changes etc
[19:33:41] paperclip: jblack: /ignore broken?

[19:40:52] paperclip: tekzilla and hd nation are half hour shows..
[19:41:15] paperclip: heh.. it's a viable means of distributing content..
[19:41:21] mazda01: i have file called sqlAWDgzx that's located in my / folder. when i look at it it says this on the first line, "The system tables of MySQL Server" can I delete it?
[19:41:46] gbee: paperclip: my point about the length of The Onion stuff was incidental, I wasn't making a general comment about the length of such stuff

[19:41:50] justinh: as I've found out with my podcast. My listenership is within my bandwidth allowance (just) but the spikes caused by me updating the RSS feed give my host the skits
[19:42:06] pak0: upgrading to 9.10... with myth 0.22 arffff :D!
[19:42:26] iamlindoro: pak0: Now if only MythTV 0.22 were out...
[19:42:52] pak0: anymore? i just arrived to my home
[19:43:09] justinh: mythtv 0.22 releases are a figment of a liar's imagination
[19:43:18] justinh: or a time traveller..
[19:43:36] justinh: as in.. somebody is calling *trunk* builds 0.22 erroneously
[19:44:26] gbee: smuggling is a viable means of moving something from A to B, but I don't hear anyone calling for cars to come with hidden compartments so that people can smuggle legal goods
[19:45:16] gbee: tortured that one ...
[19:45:17] paperclip: gbee: that would be handy to twart thieves
[19:45:27] justinh: WTF? B&O do a media centre app
[19:45:41] gbee: justinh: sub-£3000 ?
[19:46:35] justinh: gbee: free download. windows only. looks like youknowwhat though
[19:46:59] gbee: justinh: it's actually not that surprising, they can stick a huge markup on it and claim that it delivers better quality sound because they control the entire pipeline
[19:47:10] gbee: oh, software?
[19:47:18] gbee: heh, hence 'app'

[19:48:13] paperclip: justinh: what's the media center called?
[19:48:32] justinh: found out why my backend has been slow as hell this past week. stupid crap gnome leftover processes

[19:50:23] jduggan: interesting
[19:50:52] justinh: bloody slow download. wonder if it's hosted on sourceforge.
[19:52:32] Greek-Boy: any of u guys try the youtube plugin?
[19:53:26] iamlindoro: Depends which you mean
[19:53:26] justinh: yeah ages ago. it needed a lot of TLC
[19:53:28] justinh: as in ages ago, when it still worked
[19:53:34] iamlindoro: MythTube, yes, I tried it when it still compiled
[19:53:53] iamlindoro: Even fixed it a dozenish times
[19:54:16] jduggan: oh shat, restarted the backend in the middle of a bbc hd recording, how annoying is that
[19:54:23] stinger1511: someone here using eit?
[19:54:27] jduggan: oddly, it carried on? is that normal?
[19:54:50] justinh: ugh. visual c++
[19:54:50] jduggan: excellent tv series to, stephen fry, last chance to see :(
[19:55:12] justinh: stinger1511: I use it for radio channel EPG data
[19:55:33] jduggan: i use it for dvb-s
[19:55:38] stinger1511: cool
[19:55:41] jduggan: seems more reliable for me

[19:55:50] jduggan: for consistency, that is
[19:55:54] gbee: jduggan: resuming a recording? Yeah, that's normal, so long as it determines that it's worthwhile – 5 minutes from the end, maybe not
[19:55:54] jduggan: across +1 channels etc
[19:55:57] stinger1511: my dtv_multiplex isnt populating
[19:56:14] stinger1511: i dont have a networkid set for any transponder
[19:56:18] jduggan: radiotimes i find has different listings data which is annoying
[19:56:21] stinger1511: how the hell ....
[19:56:53] gbee: jduggan: that's why the grabber has special ids for +1 channels which just shifts the listings by an hour instead
[19:57:19] gbee: and they cause less load on the server too, since it doesn't have to grab two channels, just one
[19:57:23] jduggan: gbee: 1hour recording, it carried on about 30minutes into it i stopped the backend to make changes.. what happens to the beggining part of the show? does myth munge them together?

[19:57:40] gbee: jduggan: appears as two separate recordings
[19:57:46] jduggan: (the radio times thing)
[19:58:07] gbee: jduggan: for the last 18 months at least, maybe a little longer
[19:58:12] stinger1511:
[19:58:16] jduggan: gbee: ah, yea its been a while :)
[19:58:20] jduggan: since i updated
[19:58:25] justinh: ugh, this is coming right off my machine. *Horrible*
[19:58:26] jduggan: iw as using the same stuff
[19:58:30] jduggan: from my .19 install :)
[19:58:32] justinh: worse than even Elisa was
[19:58:49] gbee: jduggan: look at the "Timeshifted Channels" section – http://supplement.xmltv.org/tv_grab_uk_rt/channel_ids
[19:58:52] jduggan: justinh: $this?
[19:59:04] jduggan: you didnt install media centre did you? :P
[19:59:19] justinh: jduggan: BeoPlayer
[19:59:46] jduggan: gbee: ok, that was just one example :) i've also had examples where the showing on E4 would have different data
[19:59:51] gbee: justinh: stinks?
[20:00:03] jduggan: for example (and dont laugh) hollyoaks gets repeated on E4
[20:00:06] justinh: being B&O I'd have expected *much* better than that
[20:00:16] jduggan: id get duplicates if i tried to use it

[20:00:41] justinh: just goes to show my loyalties to mythtv are not the least bit unfounded, as much as I resist them
[20:00:55] gbee: jduggan: ok, I guess that still happens infrequently, but they always have the same subtitles so with "Subtitle then description" duplicate matching I've never had a problem
[20:01:16] justinh: jduggan: admit it, you only watch Hollyhocks with the sound turned down
[20:01:26] jduggan: lol
[20:01:47] gbee: not trying to sell RT btw, if EIT works for you then great, I find the descriptions lacking, especially for films
[20:02:01] jduggan: gbee: hmm, yea i didnt try swapping that
[20:02:08] justinh: I sometimes find RT's spoilers annoying
[20:02:28] justinh: like ugh, *review* the show don't tell me whut happenz
[20:02:42] jduggan: the other thing that was a little annoying... funny enough was rt's descriptions where like a4 page essay
[20:02:51] justinh: to think, the majority of its readership *pay* for that. heh
[20:02:51] jduggan: s/where/were/
[20:02:58] justinh: jduggan: were/are
[20:03:07] jduggan: justinh: true :)
[20:03:19] gbee: EIT descriptions are always favourable, they are trying to sell the programme to you (by design) whereas RT descriptions are always more detailed, accurate and frequently critical – especially for series premieres
[20:03:50] jduggan: yea

[20:04:46] justinh: reminds me I did once ponder trying to remove the adverts from ITV guide data
[20:04:52] jduggan: oh, and for all those that blatantly ignore channel 5 listings... :P, i think there's a series worth recording 'flash forward'
[20:04:56] gbee: justinh: can't say I find any of their descriptions contain true spoilers, but enough detail to allow me to make an informed decision (if I chose to read them) sure
[20:04:58] jduggan: starts 28 sept

[20:05:48] justinh: I tend not to look at the descriptions much cos the bulk of the text is hidden behind 20 remote button presses :-\
[20:05:58] jduggan: thats something else i wanted
[20:06:00] jduggan: in the guide
[20:06:05] jduggan: is there a way to quick jump
[20:06:07] gbee: or one, if you bind DETAILS
[20:06:10] jduggan: to the description pain?
[20:06:14] jduggan: excellent
[20:06:16] justinh: gbee: not got enough buttons
[20:06:20] jduggan: i'll bear that one in mind
[20:06:29] justinh: hence my desire to get rid of one of the 'menu' buttons

[20:09:26] justinh: yeah, other apps don't get that. oh no no no no. planet wtf

[20:09:56] jduggan: i have to buy a new tuner by monday

[20:11:08] jduggan: gbee: just the one, ive taken off my virgin media as im happy with dvb-s
[20:11:21] jduggan: i sold the pvr150 for 30quid :P
[20:11:38] justinh: god that's more than I bought mine for
[20:11:46] jduggan: i was holding out for a cheap dvb-s card on ebay

[20:12:54] jduggan: nova-s
[20:12:55] jduggan: bargain

[20:13:39] justinh: told them it's probably only the start of it
[20:13:55] jduggan: i gave up on freeview, signal kept dropping out when buses go by
[20:14:12] jduggan: and kids on their chicken chasers ^W^Wmopeds

[20:14:52] justinh: Hiisty: dvb-utils et al
[20:14:53] Hiisty: or then it just mythtv issue
[20:14:56] gbee: but in my dev backend, which perversely is the one I probably use more right now, I have a crappy Satelco which can't pickup the BBC HD mux without serious interference
[20:15:33] justinh: jduggan: I'm fine when I'm up there.. just getting there & back I hate
[20:15:45] gbee: jduggan: you should have a lot more luck with freeview once the switchover occurs in your region
[20:15:59] jduggan: ah i remembered you mentioned problems with satelco so i have steered clear
[20:16:08] justinh: unless you're in a region where you're gonna get 3 muxes for the price of 6
[20:16:25] jduggan: gbee: im quite happy with dvb-s, for the channels i watch, quality is great, no interference etc
[20:16:40] justinh: whereas the rest of us will get 5 for the price of 6, losing ITV4 but not any shopping channels :-\
[20:16:41] jduggan: i dont think there's much on freeview that isnt on freesat
[20:16:45] jduggan: which is worth watching that is
[20:16:59] justinh: is everything FTA now? what already is on freeview I mean
[20:17:10] jduggan: well
[20:17:10] gbee: justinh: putting up the dish just beneath the eaves I was ok with, but I'd not touch the aerial on the chimney without rigging up climbing ropes, just a lot more cautious these days
[20:17:14] jduggan: fiver
[20:17:19] jduggan: and five usa arent fta, yet
[20:17:24] jduggan: but its a matter of time iirc
[20:17:29] jduggan: are they on freeview?
[20:17:32] justinh: no great loss there, unless you're a FALL GUY fan
[20:17:47] gbee: justinh: couple of Five channels and maybe UKTV History etc are missing from Freesat
[20:17:58] justinh: UKTV history still on? lol
[20:18:13] jduggan: justinh: nope, but five occasionally gets a good US season
[20:18:16] jduggan: like House
[20:18:20] jduggan: before sky pinched it
[20:18:34] jduggan: so id be interested in the other five channels
[20:18:47] gbee: I've no idea if History is still around, I stopped looking at their listings a long time ago
[20:18:53] jduggan: lol
[20:19:34] gbee: everything they used to show that was worth seeing I probably saw 3 years earlier on the BBC anyway
[20:19:36] justinh: I tried watching House once. My heart wasnt in it
[20:19:54] justinh: ooo Chuck is recording :)
[20:20:15] wagnerrp: you guys get our shows before we do?
[20:20:36] GreyFoxx: Why not, we do here in Canada
[20:20:43] gbee: I actually liked House but at the point where Sky bought it I felt it had run it's course anyway (same for 24)
[20:20:50] GreyFoxx: some shows we've gotten months before but usually just days
[20:21:11] iamlindoro: Pretty sure they're getting Chuck Season 2, however
[20:21:42] justinh: chuck vs the lethal weapon ?
[20:22:01] gbee: wagnerrp: we regularly do these days, since you break a series into two parts around sports, we might start a week behind but there is never a break
[20:22:05] iamlindoro: justinh: Season 2
[20:22:08] justinh: S02E16 ?! noes!
[20:22:36] tmkt: and defying gravity is still on tv here
[20:22:39] tmkt: not in the us
[20:23:28] justinh: ah 22 episodes. phew. a way to go before the end of the series then :)
[20:24:02] gbee: iirc we saw the last ever episode of Pushing Daisies a week or two before it aired in the US – which we then teased iamlindoro about
[20:24:22] iamlindoro: Heh, think it was longer than that
[20:24:27] iamlindoro: ie, a month or two
[20:24:32] gbee: justinh: did you see the first series? I seem to remember that you only started watching from the first
[20:25:03] gbee: err, second
[20:25:19] justinh: not seen S1 yet
[20:25:42] justinh: will prolly see about renting a box set or something
[20:25:52] justinh: if it's not on VM onremand
[20:26:12] justinh: that's another thing my remote hasn't got enough buttons for
[20:27:41] justinh: wha? A tenner to buy it? That'll be on my xmas list then

[21:33:03] sigkill_: hey guys, forgive my ignorant line of question... the .asx stream provided by mythweb for a recording, is this original quality or transcoded on the fly?
[21:33:36] iamlindoro: the ASX is just a direct download of the original
[21:33:55] iamlindoro: it's just a four line text file pointing the player at the web server, which serves up the original
[21:35:01] sigkill_: interesting, this is a BBC recording which is too high a bitrate to play on the backend (3ghz p4) and also mythfrontend struggles on it on one of my 2.0ghz c2d, plays ok in vlc
[21:35:17] sigkill_: hence why i thought maybe it was transcoded on the fly
[21:35:36] sigkill_: it was my understanding the internal player was about as good as they get

[21:37:58] gizmobay: I'm having an issue with some recordings. I have a pvr150 using trunk with a blaster controlling the STB. While watching LiveTV if I hit record sometimes when I go to view the recording I get "no codec for stream index 0" in the FE log and the FE will end up displaying Video Frame buffering failed too many times. Sometimes I don't have any issues at all and I can view the recording.
[21:38:30] gizmobay: Can someone point me in the right direction

[22:12:04] gbee: but thanks for highlighting a continuity problem with Previously Recorded, it should bring up the same menu

[22:19:18] gbee: Upcoming Recordings
[22:19:33] jduggan: it didnt list in upcoming
[22:19:49] gbee: hit 1, or 2 to change the filter
[22:20:19] gbee: or change it through the Menu, but I don't remember how the option is listed there
[22:20:25] jduggan: i selected record anyway in thr guide which overrode the rule

[22:20:56] gbee: ok, same thing
[22:22:30] gbee: fwiw, Forget Previous should probably include current recordings, but changing that isn't something I want to get involved with personally, maybe David (gigem) will take a look if you open a ticket
[22:23:22] jduggan: ok
[22:23:41] jduggan: main thing is i can still record the show
[22:23:48] jduggan: just not hd :p
[22:29:48] jduggan: heh, that conflict i mentioned... <3 myth, there is a bbc region (london) which shares a transponder with five so i got no conflict
[22:30:23] sphery: gbee / jduggan : There are 2 flags that determine whether a show counts toward duplicate matching. One is set through Previously Recorded and manages your recording history (oldrecorded), the other is set through Watch Recordings and manages your current recording list (recorded). In each recording rule, you specify something about "Check for duplicates in" which defaults to something like "all recordings" (which means ...
[22:30:30] sphery: ... oldrecorded and recorded) and can be changed to "Previous recordings" (oldrecorded) or "Current recordings" (recorded).
[22:31:17] jduggan: aaha
[22:31:49] jduggan: i'll check the rule
[22:32:24] sphery: or just set both places to allow re-record
[22:37:14] jduggan: it was already set to current and previous
