[00:01:15] pyther: If I am transcoding and then I have a recording set to take place, will the recording have a greater priority than the transcode?
[00:02:25] kormoc: depends?
[00:02:48] pyther: What does it depend on?
[00:03:19] kormoc: what you set the priority of the transcode job to be
[00:05:14] pyther: kormoc, I'm not sure, I just selected it to transcode
[00:05:33] pyther: I pressed m while playing the video, and selected transcode
[00:07:33] jamesd2: pyther, recording uses hardly any cpu.... so it shouldn't be an issue, i have had 2 hd recordings + a transcode happening without any issue
[00:08:30] pyther: okay cool
[00:09:02] pyther: I'm on a sempron +2200 right now, but I'm watching a show and everything seems okay

[00:15:54] octon: Hey all, I'm seeing intermittent problems with recordings being aborted, I haven't been able to figure out why the aborts occur, but what would be useful is if there was a way to force myth to retry aborted recordings.
[00:16:01] octon: Anyone have any ideas?
[00:16:09] kormoc: read the logs?
[00:17:12] octon: Yeah been through them but can't see anything relevant, some times its down to myth crashing, but my monitor daemon restarts myth but the recording isn't resumed.
[00:17:13] Dagmar: It always will as far as I know
[00:17:36] Dagmar: You can hard power off the machine in the middle of a scheduled recording, and when it reboots if the show is still on, it'll start a new recording segment for it.
[00:17:37] octon: It always will, resume?
[00:17:55] Dagmar: I know for awhile I had an issue with PCI latency that was making the PVR-500 hard reboot the machine.
[00:18:13] Dagmar: Thrilled me to no end to see recordings in 4–5 pieces sometimes
[00:18:27] wagnerrp: hopefully at the commercials?
[00:18:30] octon: Yeah ... so that's the weird thing, resume starts in some cases but not others, but a manual resume works.
[00:18:42] octon: LOL ... I have a few of those.
[00:18:49] gbee: it won't always, if there are only 5 minutes left of an hour long recording, I don't know what the logic is but at some point it does give up
[00:19:22] Dagmar: wagnerrp: Right in the middle of the jail scene in Bloodrayne actually
[00:19:31] gbee: maybe it won't always bother if the programme is repeated, I really don't know, the behaviour's not documented
[00:19:34] Dagmar: I was like "Wow it's like my girlfriend is in the card"
[00:19:58] wagnerrp: im sure thats for the best... relieving you from having to watch it
[00:19:59] Dagmar: It might not bother because when it comes back up the database is bufu
[00:20:19] octon: bufu?
[00:20:21] Dagmar: wagnerrp: That girl is HOT
[00:20:39] Dagmar: octon: Broken Unbelievably For Umm...
[00:21:07] ** Dagmar whistles nonchalantly. **
[00:21:07] wagnerrp: well sure, but theres better places to find kristanna loken
[00:21:15] octon: I rebuilt the data base 2 months ago, draging along only the essentials.
[00:21:51] wagnerrp: like termi... err, no.... painkil.... no....
[00:21:56] wagnerrp: ok, youve got me
[00:22:02] Dagmar: hehehe
[00:23:06] octon: She was a bit to dominant on T3 for my liking, but each to their own.

[00:23:23] Dagmar: I can handle her, er... it
[00:24:01] octon: Being a shape shifter would be interesting! ;)
[00:25:09] octon: So does anyone have any ideas of what I can look for to diagnose why the aborts are occuring?
[00:25:25] wagnerrp: well thats odd... the commflagger for heroes seems to have stopped
[00:25:33] Dagmar: octon: The backend logs and the kernel logs
[00:25:35] kormoc: octon: the logs?
[00:25:49] Dagmar: wagnerrp: It's probably caught up to the point in the LIVE BROADCAST
[00:26:07] kormoc: octon: you'll just have to increase the verbosity but they should tell you
[00:26:13] wagnerrp: it catches up, and pauses? it doesnt just keep going at a reduced rate?
[00:26:25] Dagmar: Dunno.
[00:26:32] Dagmar: Wait and see if it starts up again
[00:26:33] gbee: octon: check kernel logs too (dmesg etc)
[00:26:42] Dagmar: It might well be stopping until the top of the next whole minute for all I know
[00:26:51] Dagmar: I just know for sure it can't commflag material not yet broadcast.
[00:27:13] gbee: octon: which kernel? what version of myth?
[00:27:59] octon: myth 0.21, ubuntu 8.10, which is:
[00:28:31] octon: 2.6.27
[00:28:35] gbee: ok, not the issue I was thinking of then
[00:28:36] kormoc: there's also a chance that there is nothing wrong and your 'restart if gone' monitor is causing it
[00:28:37] crankharder (crankharder!n=crankhar@ip68-100-2-225.dc.dc.cox.net) has joined #mythtv-users
[00:28:52] crankharder: myth will automatically "record new and delete old" w/o me enabling that option on every recording schedule, right?
[00:29:10] wagnerrp: nope, have to enable it on each
[00:29:17] octon: It looks like the problems are crashes in mythbackend.
[00:29:20] kormoc: if it was the default, why would it not be checked by default?
[00:29:21] octon: mostly.
[00:29:38] gbee: backend crashes with 0.21 (especially a recent 0.21) are rare
[00:30:12] octon: gbee: Do you know if that is true if you have image previews being generated.
[00:30:13] octon: ?
[00:30:24] crankharder: even without setting a number of recordings to keep?
[00:30:39] kormoc: the image preview is a different thread, to prevent it from bringing down the backend
[00:31:02] gbee: octon: preview images are generated by a separate backend process, even if they crash they won't take out the main backend process
[00:31:04] kormoc: what it does do is at times lock the backend up so that to monitoring scripts, it appears dead and so they restart it incorrectly
[00:31:21] Dagmar: Neotron: It's not quite that simple
[00:31:37] octon: kormac: That wouldn't necessarily stop it bringing down the backend, unless it's a separate process .. right?
[00:31:37] kormoc: crankharder: then it'll just record as many as it can
[00:31:57] gbee: not even a separate thread, an entirely separate process – but if your restart script is looking for a crashed mythbackend process it might be mistaking the preview gen one?
[00:32:31] gbee: it's also worth considering the possibility of hardware faults (faulty memory/overheating) and you should really check whether you are running the latest newest version of 0.21 available to you
[00:32:58] octon: gbee: I'll double check the myth version
[00:33:59] octon: I believe the monitor looks at the mythbackend.pid file, so it shouldn't be mistaking the process.
[00:34:12] gbee: anything below 19000 is way too old, but really you should be looking for something above 20000, we're currently over 22000
[00:35:18] crankharder: kormoc: and whatever show is the oldest... k, ty
[00:36:33] gbee: octon: consider running without the monitoring script, IMHO those things do more harm than good – my production backend hasn't crashed in over 18 months

[00:42:09] mag0o: possible bug in mythvideo – when playing the first video that has a video set to automatically play after it is done, if you exit early, saving a bookmark (thus, wanting to stop the playback completely, ideally) the 2nd part of the video begins playback
[00:42:22] gbee: octon: there are many versions of 0.21, although no official point releases fixes continued to be applied to 0.21 regularly until last month
[00:43:16] antgel: is 0.22 svn in a usable state for reasonably competent users? i don't mind dealing with the odd glitch, but if it's going to crash left, right and centre, i'll build 0.21-fixes. NB this is for a new install
[00:43:29] jblack: All these ATSC locks with timeouts. I wonder what those are.
[00:43:31] iamlindoro: mag0o, feature request, MythVideo has no way to know whether you quit playback or waited for it to finish
[00:44:04] wagnerrp: 'hard drive not installed'
[00:44:16] wagnerrp: whoops... seems like my hard drive fell out into my laptop bag
[00:44:35] mag0o: gotcha

[01:03:12] ** mag0o is hoping he's getting irc -> user correct **
[01:03:14] Rodya: Does anyone have a Hauppauge 1250 (that the driver lists as a 1270) working? I can't get mine to actually scan channels =/
[01:04:09] J-e-f-f-A: Rodya: Yes, I have one on my trunk test box.
[01:04:14] sphery: wagnerrp: thanks for looking... Guess you didn't record the episode on its original airdate. It had seriesid SH726133 (which is right for The Office).
[01:04:59] Rodya: J-e-f-f-A, any ideas for how I can get it working (the command scan just gives me a warning about not being able to tune to a different frequency when i try to scan and mythtv-setup never gets any locks)
[01:05:12] sphery: mag0o: You're welcome... I wanted to do a better fix--such that even if there was a too-close-to-end bookmark, you'd be given time to react, but it requires too many changes, so I went with the simple fix that should fix the issue completely for your usage.
[01:05:45] sphery: wagnerrp: in my oldrecorded, I see both seriesid's-- SH726133 and the trunc'ed programid EP00726133
[01:05:54] mag0o: that'll be a +++ for waf :)
[01:08:40] J-e-f-f-A: Rodya: Let me see if mine scans.... I may have used the HD-3000 or HVR-950 for the scan before...

[01:16:34] ctpaterson: Could anyone tell me if there is or is not a way? Perhaps what I'm asking can't be done?
[01:16:41] Rodya: J-e-f-f-A, I was running 0.21 from the arch linux repository, but compiling from svn now
[01:17:57] J-e-f-f-A: Rodya: Is this a 'production' system, or are you just getting started?
[01:18:11] Rodya: J-e-f-f-A, just getting started
[01:19:30] J-e-f-f-A: Rodya: Ok...  ;-) Trunk is going through alot of changes at the moment in preperation for the 0.22 release (very soon)... So you may run into issues here and there. Sub to the dev list and watch the commits... ;-)

[01:35:03] J-e-f-f-A: Rodya: I don't remember if it needs firmware or not – I didn't think so, but check for a dmesg via "dmesg |grep -i firmware"
[01:35:57] Rodya: J-e-f-f-A, didn't show anything
[01:36:33] J-e-f-f-A: Rodya: and you've rebooted fairly recently, right?
[01:37:47] Rodya: J-e-f-f-A, I had some trouble getting my system to detect the card correctly initially, so I ended up rebuilding the v4l-dvb kernel modules, then, of course, I had to restart and dmesg showed it detecting the card (this was maybe 4 hours ago)
[01:38:24] Rodya: J-e-f-f-A, it wasn't a hard reboot, though, which I can do if you think it will help
[01:38:50] J-e-f-f-A: Rodya: You don't have to re-boot – just wondering if the dmesg log has rolled or not... ;-)

[01:40:13] J-e-f-f-A: Rodya: Give that a shot... then do the dmesg command looking for 'firmware'... IIRC the 1250 doesn't need a firmware file, but if it does and it's not in place, it won't tune/scan... ;-)
[01:40:30] Rodya: J-e-f-f-A, alright, brb =)

[02:00:35] wagnerrp: you cannot create cutlists for a hdpvr recording
[02:01:10] wagnerrp: rather, you can create them, but you cant do anything with it inside mythtv
[02:01:41] wagnerrp: not without transcoding to something less efficient, and less transferrable, than h264
[02:03:01] iamlindoro: wagnerrp, Are you planning on dealing w/ the python exception thing on your big python ticket?
[02:03:16] iamlindoro: (BTW, most discussion ever on not-really-a-bug, btw)
[02:03:25] iamlindoro: s/, btw//
[02:03:34] brad3: what does everyone use for their lossless transcode and commercial remove on hdpvr recordings?
[02:03:43] wagnerrp: iamlindoro: the change mentioned in ubuntu-mythtv-dev has already been made
[02:03:50] wagnerrp: but as far as im concerned is not a solution
[02:04:01] wagnerrp: theres no reason that should fix anything
[02:04:11] wagnerrp: but then again, theres no reason why the bug should be happening

[02:06:02] iamlindoro: wagnerrp, OK, let me know when/if you update the ticket w/ a patch that includes the fix so I can close the new ticket as dupe
[02:06:33] iamlindoro: As it is it's already dangerously close to a FRWOP
[02:06:47] iamlindoro: since it's asking for the message to be reported more nicely, but is still a failure
[02:06:48] wagnerrp: when i do, its not going to be a patch
[02:07:02] wagnerrp: ill just dump on the new files
[02:07:14] RDV_Linux: brad3: I have a userjob that moves and renames the movie or show into an edit directory. It even checks if another show is being recorded and transfers in a way not to thrash the drive.

[02:13:30] JokerNfear: hey guys im having a problem with cbmcmyth and a backend server im getting an error connectiing to database ..im thinking my DB is set 127.0.0.1 and need to chang eit to the ip addy how can i do this?
[02:13:31] brad3: silly question.. my starting format seems to be .mpg is that what your starting format is? Why are you converting it into mkv?
[02:13:34] Wicked: RDV_Linux, if you dont mind could i also take a look at your scripts?
[02:13:43] Wicked: they sound interesting :)
[02:14:25] squish102: JokerNfear i think that is in mythsetup
[02:14:41] JokerNfear: yeah i changed the 2 in general to the IP but im still getting the error

[02:15:04] JokerNfear: rebooted and configured the xbmc with ip's user/pass
[02:15:10] oktiv: good evening all. i've just one question tonight. is there a way to have the system ask for confirmation when exiting live tv? since the buffer is lost when you go to the main menu of myth, a confirmation would be nice.
[02:15:34] Wicked: also does anyone know how usable trunk is? i know its getting close to release....and im getting anxious....too early to replace my 0.21-fixes?
[02:15:50] iamlindoro: JokerNfear, we don't provide help for unofficial frontends here, you'll need to ask in the XBMC channels
[02:15:59] Wicked: oktiv, yea. there is. i forget where...but i just enabled it
[02:16:09] JokerNfear: k
[02:16:57] oktiv: i know there is a confirmation for exiting the system al together, but that's the only one i've seen
[02:17:18] Wicked: nah. it asks what you want to do if you hit exit...

[02:18:35] Wicked: in live tv it asks if you want to exit live tv or not
[02:18:41] Wicked: in recordings it asks more.
[02:19:06] oktiv: cool, thats what i'm looking for. i'm digging around now
[02:19:10] Wicked: id go check but i have mythtv setup to output to my projector and its not on and takes a few mins to warm up
[02:19:24] Wicked: its in the settings somewhere ;o. i wanna say in tv settings
[02:19:46] Wicked: iirc itll be something along the lines of "prompt somethig something"
[02:20:34] oktiv: prompt at end of recording?
[02:20:39] Wicked: yea
[02:20:40] Wicked: try that

[02:40:52] iamlindoro: wagnerrp, Sorry, but lossless transcode of a whole 3 minute show in 5 seconds in impressive to me no matter what

[03:16:20] wagnerrp: a video without i-frames could not be seeked around

[03:16:58] RDV_Linux: brad3: All I do is load the video, let it index the video and hit yes two times then mark a and b and crtl-x to cut and then save as an avi file

[03:19:58] brad3: oh, that might be it
[03:20:02] brad3: how do i tell the difference?
[03:20:33] RDV_Linux: brad3: I set my STB to only output at 720p

[03:21:12] wagnerrp: i mean the frames
[03:21:14] RDV_Linux: brad3: use "ffmpeg -i filename"

[03:29:15] iamlindoro: RDV_Linux, the opposite
[03:29:26] iamlindoro: 1080i is better for drama, 720p is better for sports
[03:29:43] brad3: iamlindoro, what do you record in? how do you do your lossless transcoding?
[03:29:43] wagnerrp: drama is slow, where interlacing matters less
[03:29:52] wagnerrp: you want progressive for fast motion in sports
[03:30:01] RDV_Linux: iamlindoro: Ok the memeory is failing. brad3 trust their word over mine ;)
[03:30:08] iamlindoro: I record at the output resolution of the box, leaving the resolution decision to be made by the channel
[03:30:54] wagnerrp: although if you look at most dramas, theyre usually doubled or TCd from 24fps anyway
[03:31:34] wagnerrp: either you get full frames repeating in a 2/3 pattern
[03:31:44] wagnerrp: or you alternate between progressive and interlaced from telecining
[03:35:00] brad3: iamlindoro: and then how do you do your commercial cutting?
[03:35:53] iamlindoro: The only way to do so is what RDV_Linux explained to you
[03:36:04] iamlindoro: so when/if one does so, it's the only option
[03:37:30] brad3: is there anything you can do, if you recorded something in 1080i, to convert it to 720p, so that the avidemux route works?
[03:38:14] iamlindoro: You can transcode anything you like, but at that point the whole point of lossless is ruined

[05:52:06] android60: encoder/driver**
[05:52:07] wagnerrp: thats an mpeg card, it should just dump an mpeg stream

[05:52:36] wagnerrp: (not knowing any of the actually driver internals) audio on that card should 'just work'
[05:52:56] android60: so your saying 1800 analog should work fine?
[05:53:00] android60: ftl "With any luck I may also have time to track down the MythTV encoder related issue, something that’s been in my todo list for a long time."
[05:53:01] iamlindoro: HVR-1800... it of the driver bug
[05:53:05] wagnerrp: in linux, i thought so
[05:53:09] iamlindoro: not 1800
[05:53:13] iamlindoro: you're thinking 1600
[05:53:20] iamlindoro: 1800's driver still broken
[05:53:33] wagnerrp: but like iamlindoro (and the blog) mentioned, theres a bug in the driver that prevents it from working with mythtv
[05:53:57] android60: ya, and thats wht one of the driver devs is hoping to fix in the upcoming weekds
[05:54:24] android60: hopefully anyway
[05:54:44] wagnerrp: im more interested in getting analog on the 2250, to be honest
[05:55:17] android60: whats the diff between 2250 and 1800
[05:55:31] android60: feature wise
[05:55:42] wagnerrp: not quite double
[05:56:11] android60: ?
[05:56:24] wagnerrp: the 1800 has a digital tuner, and an analog tuner tied to an mpeg encoder
[05:56:41] wagnerrp: the 2250 has a pair of hybrid tuners each tied to an mpeg encoder
[05:56:59] android60: oh. that is nice
[05:57:17] android60: so only digital works on it right now?
[05:57:33] wagnerrp: out of curiosity, anyone know if you can use video capture on the 2250, while using digital on both tuners?
[05:57:47] wagnerrp: correct

[07:50:36] wagnerrp: for what purpose?
[07:52:00] wagnerrp: its not like commflagging is time critical
[07:52:32] [R]: realtime flagging...
[07:52:58] wagnerrp: any halfway decent processor should manage realtime commflagging on anything but h264 content
[07:53:16] jst_home: yeah, and to have commercials flagged earlier for recordings... In particular, for 1080i recordings it takes its sweet time on a single cpu
[07:53:31] jst_home: right, I've got nothing but h264 here
[07:54:05] wagnerrp: the decode prior to commflagging is not handled multithreaded?
[07:54:20] wagnerrp: well... i guess it would only be for sliced content
[07:54:25] wagnerrp: which seems to be rare for recordings
[07:54:33] justinh: not in Europe
[07:54:43] justinh: broadcast h.264 is generally slicey :)

[07:55:53] wagnerrp: well anyway, its probably a fairly simple tweek to get multithreaded decoding into mythcommflag
[07:55:58] justinh: jst_home: non-sliced
[07:56:07] wagnerrp: yeah... HDPVR, youre SOL until the ffmpeg-mt stuff comes through
[07:56:21] jst_home: ah, ok...
[07:56:26] justinh: jst_home: just means the stream is capable of being decoded by multiple processes on the fly :)
[07:56:34] wagnerrp: or someone decides to mix VDPAU into mythcommflag
[07:56:40] justinh: eesh
[07:56:51] jst_home: ah, interesting
[07:57:06] jst_home: are there speculations as to when ffmpeg-mt stuff is coming out?
[07:57:07] wagnerrp: specifically, that the video is split into multiple independent domains, that can be decoded independently
[07:57:25] jst_home: makes sense
[07:57:39] wagnerrp: ive heard the ffmpeg-mt stuff may be ready in time for sync into 0.23
[07:57:42] justinh: jst_home: not only that but you'll have to wait for the mt stuff to be incorporated into ffmpeg proper, then wait for mythtv to sync with it
[07:57:56] jst_home: right, ok

[08:00:03] justinh: tbh it's more likely a job for CUDA
[08:00:26] justinh: doubt there's any access to uncompressed video once it's been decoded
[08:00:30] wagnerrp: well... then you have to write a decoder inside CUDA, instead of taking one already put together
[08:00:58] wagnerrp: i thought there was some allowance to pull the decompressed 'textures' back out of the card
[08:00:58] Eldegast (Eldegast!n=Eldegast@91.153.61.159) has quit (Client Quit)
[08:01:20] justinh: if there is, why is anybody bothering about HDCP in the windows driver? ;)
[08:02:03] wagnerrp: probably because the windows driver locks out access to that
[08:02:13] justinh: maybe
[08:02:31] justinh: realtime commflagging anyway. FFS. total misuse of a PVR :P
[08:03:12] wagnerrp: i dont know... ill often start watching a show about halfway through
[08:03:31] clever: youd need to decode the stream in vdpau twice
[08:03:39] justinh: thankfully our ad breaks are all pretty much the same length :D
[08:03:42] Eldegast (Eldegast!n=Eldegast@91.153.61.159) has joined #mythtv-users
[08:03:50] clever: one decoder working near the tail end to flag ahead of you
[08:03:53] justinh: 4 mins, give or take a few seconds either way
[08:03:58] clever: and a 2nd decoder for actual playback
[08:04:08] justinh: clever: bloody hell. good point
[08:04:31] clever: so youll need double the power in the card, or 2 cards (maybe one in the backend)
[08:04:46] justinh: which'll be why nobody's bothered even looking at it yet.. or summink
[08:04:49] wagnerrp: i dont think VDPAU supports multiple streams at the moment
[08:05:00] justinh: last I heard it was close
[08:05:18] wagnerrp: and as far as the decoder, there is no 'double the power'
[08:05:26] clever: also, ive heard that parts of the flagger are designed to review the entire file before flagging
[08:05:27] wagnerrp: they all seem to have the same decode performance
[08:05:32] clever: so it cant work well in real time
[08:05:50] justinh: but it sounds so cool!
[08:06:02] justinh: never mind if it really works or not, it's DIGGable :P
[08:06:12] clever: wagnerrp: yeah, but decoding 2 streams at once would be double the load, is 1 1080 only 50% loading it atm?
[08:06:27] justinh: clever: always depends on the stream complexity AFAIK
[08:06:33] clever: that too
[08:06:45] clever: but its a bit of a black box, so you cant get a GPU usage %
[08:07:03] wagnerrp: clever: but its not the GPU doing it
[08:07:05] justinh: there are those people who care about livetv, and those who don't. I mean like they REALLY don't, and wish people would stop wasting precious development time on it
[08:07:32] Eldegast: I have a question about 0.22, I just upgraded yesterday to avenards trunk and noticed I can delete files in mythvideo but the files are owned by the user myth but the script that deletes the file needs the file to be owned by mythtv, anyone know what script is being used so I could modify it a bit ?
[08:07:43] clever: justinh: ive edited my menu xml to remove livetv from the main menu
[08:07:50] wagnerrp: justinh: quiet you... almost finished implementing livetv in the python bindings
[08:07:55] justinh: same with commflagging, until such time as somebody reworks it to find commercials on UK channels
[08:08:03] justinh: Eldegast: there is no 0.22
[08:08:19] justinh: Eldegast: there is no 'script' which deletes files
[08:08:41] justinh: the user you run mythfrontend as has to have permission to modify files in order to erm.. modify them. Or it can't
[08:08:42] wagnerrp: and if the files are not owned by the user running the frontend, thats up to you to fix
[08:09:24] justinh: or in the case of storage groups the delete would be performed by the backend.. and the user mythbackend runs as must have permission to modify/delete files
[08:09:36] Eldegast: Ok

[09:33:37] prupert: hi, hope this isn't a sill question, I've tried searching on the wiki and through the mailing lists but haven't found an answer yet. Is there a config file for mythcommflag that is user editable and if so, where is it stored?
[09:34:16] jvs_ (jvs_!n=jvs@90.146.56.206) has joined #mythtv-users

[09:35:51] justinh: there are no config files for any mythtv functions
[09:36:20] justinh: all mythcomflagging methods are hard coded & we merely choose which methods are employed
[09:36:49] jvs_ is now known as jvs
[09:37:15] prupert: oh, ok, fair enough, I'll use comskip instead then, I just wanted to check, since mythcommflag is better intergrated. cheers for the answer
[09:37:34] justinh: whut?
[09:37:47] justinh: comskip?
[09:38:02] prupert: yeah, its a Windows app, but you can use it via Wine apparently
[09:38:05] justinh: meh
[09:38:09] justinh: 4 right arrow
[09:38:13] justinh: 4 right arrow
[09:38:24] prupert: http://www.kaashoek.com/comskip/
[09:38:24] justinh: saves loads of time, works 95% of the time :)

[09:38:55] justinh: and FIVE?
[09:38:58] prupert: yeah, it is actually not so bad

[09:40:23] prupert: i guess so, it isn't really so much of a problem, as we have much less adverts than in the USA, i guess advert skipping is more a hobby than a necessity in the uk
[09:40:39] justinh: hobby? ROFL
[09:40:56] justinh: take up stamp collecting or train spotting instead. more kudos there
[09:41:11] prupert: I loves me some config editing, same goes for trying to get ffmpeg or mencoder to play nice – you can always improve it
[09:41:20] justinh: or just plug yer brain in & watch less commercial TV :D
[09:41:52] prupert: sadly BBC programs have gone so down hill, the only good stuff is only on commercial TV
[09:41:59] justinh: I disagree
[09:42:18] justinh: but I'm a snob & I always have been :D
[09:42:26] prupert: really, you ever seen Strictly Come Dancing...
[09:42:30] justinh: nope
[09:42:37] justinh: like I said I'm a snob ;-)
[09:42:48] prupert: aha, you have been spared then ;)
[09:42:50] justinh: saturday night TV is for people who are too sad to go out
[09:43:09] prupert: or too old – and have kids – like me
[09:43:20] justinh: put me down if that ever happens. I mean it
[09:43:31] PhoenixMage: Why do I get multiple instances of the same show through UPnP on Windows Media Player
[09:43:33] justinh: there's always something better to do than watch telly :)
[09:44:02] prupert: believe me, it will, you think you are all young and full of energy, then you hit 30, you make wierd noises whenever you bend and nappies rule your life
[09:44:07] justinh: I hoped that SCD would crash & burn but it seems that some people actually remember ballroom dancing
[09:44:12] justinh: what?
[09:44:15] justinh: I'm 37
[09:44:15] gbee: because WMP sucks?
[09:44:35] prupert: ahh, bugger, you make me feel old now and I'm only 32. oops
[09:44:41] PhoenixMage: Valid assumption
[09:44:44] justinh: lol
[09:45:02] justinh: my wife is old before her time too, don't worry about it
[09:45:27] prupert: @PhoenixMage – have you tried using XBMC to access UPnP to see if the same thing happens, just and idea
[09:45:31] justinh: I should have spotted the signs when I met her. She read 'Take a break', not Heat magazine :P
[09:45:49] prupert: LOLS Take A Break, you should have run a mile!!
[09:45:59] PhoenixMage: No, I havent
[09:46:02] PhoenixMage: I'll do that
[09:46:09] justinh: yeah but on the plus side she's not a shallow money grabbing snake with tits
[09:46:25] prupert: its got decent UPnP support I think, so that should help you work out if it is WMP or Myth

[10:49:21] portablejim: My mythtv has stopped working. I can now only get partial locks for channels. Recordings do not record (the files are not there). Anybody have suggestions as to how to get it working?
[10:49:48] justinh: sounds like a tuner card driver or a signal issue to me
[10:50:21] justinh: missing firmware? upgraded the kernel & didn't rebuild home-made modules? etc etc etc etc
[10:51:45] justinh: no suggestions on how to get it working without an appraisal of what is actually wrong with it
[10:52:26] portablejim: landed in #mythtv and was reminded to come here. But gbee did suggest re-scanning. I'll try that.
[10:53:10] justinh: no mention of what you've changed, updated, tried so far etc. Yay
[10:53:42] portablejim: as to what is wring with it, I was looking for some diagnostic tips (e.g. where the log file is).
[10:53:54] justinh: log file location depends on your distro
[10:54:00] justinh: usually /var/log/mythtv
[10:54:33] justinh: but as I said it's probably hardware or tuner related. unless you just need to rescan.
[10:56:18] justinh: diagnosis tips: try another program & see if stuff works in that. If yes, then you have a mythtv related issue. If not, then it's the hardware/firmware. This isn't rocket science
[10:57:00] portablejim: Somehow I had missed the log folder.
[10:57:03] justinh: we recently had a big rehash of channel lineups in the UK. maybe you were affected too, but you never said where you are
[10:57:41] portablejim: Australia.
[10:58:03] justinh: the point I'm trying to get across here is that you really should give a little more background to the problem if you want folks to help as much as possible. Vague questions lead to similarly vague (or no) responses
[10:58:36] gnarface: ooh ooh i love jumping into the middle of the argument without reading the back log
[10:58:48] justinh: what argument?
[10:59:10] justinh: helping people out here is tough enough without having to squeeze info out of people :P
[10:59:28] portablejim: Not having the log file made my very much in the dark as to what the problem was.
[10:59:36] gnarface: portablejim: what he is saying is that your problem would be obvious if your father had slapped you enough as a child
[10:59:54] justinh: gnarface: no I'm not. jesus

[11:06:33] portablejim: I think I will purge mythtv and reinstall. I have no clue what the problem is.
[11:07:22] portablejim: What will purging the installation delete?
[11:07:31] justinh: that won't necessarily solve anything
[11:07:41] justinh: infact it's more than likely it will NOT solve anything
[11:07:53] gnarface: *sigh* see they really don't get it justinh
[11:08:05] gnarface: portablejim: plug your gamecube into the capture card then fire up tvtime
[11:08:14] gnarface: if that works then the problem is mythtv
[11:08:18] gnarface: otherwise your hardware is jacked
[11:08:29] justinh: portablejim: I assume you're using dvb-t yes?
[11:08:34] portablejim: yes.
[11:08:44] justinh: portablejim: stop mythbackend, install kaffeine & see if you can use that without any problems
[11:09:43] justinh: and erm.. pop the output of the backend log into a pastebin. Users often complain they can't see anything wrong in their log files. Let us be the judge of that, having had the experience of seeing lots of log output
[11:11:48] justinh: the problem here is, so many things might be wrong. you don't know what's wrong, we certainly don't know what's wrong either but by working through the problem methodically (wooo big word) it shouldn't be too tricky
[11:12:14] portablejim: How much log output do you want? (it is 122MB).
[11:12:26] gnarface: what the hell?
[11:12:27] justinh: since the last time it was restarted
[11:12:38] gnarface: not using logrotate?
[11:13:11] justinh: or wipe the log file & restart mythbackend

[11:14:06] gnarface: open a terminal

[11:14:41] gnarface: once you've done that,
[11:14:50] gnarface: stop then start mythwhatever
[11:14:54] gnarface: and do whatever it was that was failing
[11:15:00] gnarface: keep an eye on the terminal
[11:15:14] gnarface: paste anything that the tail -f job outputs while you're doing it into pastebin
[11:15:45] gnarface: wait till justinh gets over his rage and comes back then show him the link
[11:15:47] gnarface: ok?
[11:16:31] gnarface: that should be the first step for just about any debugging effort
[11:16:38] gnarface: tail -f [logfile]
[11:16:41] gnarface: you just need to know the log file
[11:16:54] portablejim: Found the bloat. Same error repeated more than 5000 times.
[11:17:44] gnarface: fyi there is an option *somewhere* to have your loggers ignore repeated messages and just say the message once then it would auto-enter a line like "(last message repeated 5000 times)"
[11:17:56] gnarface: i'll leave finding it as an exercise to the reader
[11:19:34] gnarface: also, never tail your logs as root unless you trust everyone in the world
[11:20:16] mzb: portablejim, have a look for femon
[11:20:41] mzb: ps: I'm .tas.au ... if you're not averse to chatting to the poorer of my two hears ;)
[11:20:50] mzb: s/heads !
[11:21:12] mzb: iirc, femon is part of dvb-utils
[11:21:22] portablejim: Lots of Repeated log mesages. Lots from when I was playing with the database connect settings, which just made it break more.
[11:21:37] mzb: manually tune with tzap on command line, then in another shell run femon for that tuner
[11:22:39] mzb: if your tuner (or the code for it!) returns meaningful data about thing like LOCK, signal strength ... etc ... then it's something in mythtv rather than a large bird sitting on your aerial ;)
[11:23:00] mzb: if the former then rescanning will help
[11:23:15] mzb: if the latter then build yourself a HEAVIER AERIAL ;)

[11:29:35] mzb: + tzap
[11:29:43] mzb: after a "scan"
[11:30:51] mzb: ie: use command line to find out if the error is at the software end (mythtv-related) or at the hardware end (tuner, firmware, aerial, splitter, wet string has dried out)
[11:31:50] mzb: => by using other (very basic) software
[11:32:20] gnarface: xawtv tvtime?
[11:32:32] gnarface: vlc?
[11:32:43] gnarface: cat /dev/video0?

[11:33:16] portablejim: what is the first thing you want me to do?

[11:35:27] mzb: $ femon -a ${adapter number} -H (or similar)
[11:36:03] mzb: if that shows LOCK and good signal strength then you've got other issues (possibly the mythtv scanner)
[11:36:26] portablejim: I don't know which one to do, as no scan file matches my location.
[11:36:55] simonckenyon: then try w_scan
[11:37:02] mzb: anything nearby will do (ie: the same state)
[11:37:21] gnarface: austrailia has states?
[11:37:52] simonckenyon: as justin might sat – wtf?
[11:38:00] mzb: eg: if your aerial is pointed at a digital relay rather than the main transmitter mythtv will get confused (something to do with UK DVB devotees believing that .au use techniques "outside the standard" ... I believe)

[12:14:04] mzb: re-checked your connections? (the connector on the U3100 is ... let's say ... a bit weak)
[12:14:07] justinh: it's possible automagical updates can do that kind of thing
[12:14:28] justinh: which is why my backend has about 50 million updates waiting :P
[12:14:44] mzb: :)
[12:14:52] justinh: but hey, it ain't broken
[12:15:03] PhoenixMage: Whats the difference between running another box as a slave backend and just running a front end off your master?
[12:15:10] mzb: well, the mythtv portion of it isn't ;))
[12:15:34] justinh: heheh
[12:15:36] justinh: true
[12:15:46] portablejim: not sure. I keep my computer up to date. I'll try a later kernel.
[12:15:51] justinh: freenx server keeps leaving processes lying around after it
[12:15:52] portablejim: *earlier
[12:15:54] justinh: arghhh
[12:16:10] PhoenixMage: portablejim: I am using the U3100
[12:16:19] PhoenixMage: Kernel is 2.6.31
[12:16:26] justinh: did you do an update just before it broke? You said nothing had changed – if that's the case it'll be something else to blame
[12:16:41] PhoenixMage: Acutally I am running 2 of them
[12:16:44] justinh: or maybe you updated a while ago & hadn't rebooted until just the other day
[12:16:47] PhoenixMage: work great :)
[12:16:59] ** mzb 's second head grows bored and directs first head to get shared backside onto the couch **

[12:17:29] ** justinh goes back to getting blood out of the stone. seems much easier **
[12:17:38] mzb: MOAR TUNERS
[12:17:45] mzb: (and/or storage)
[12:17:50] GreyFoxx: PhoenixMage: more pci slots, more cpu for commercial detection, more storage
[12:18:05] mzb: what he ^^ said ;)
[12:18:06] PhoenixMage: ok, thanks
[12:18:15] justinh: then again if all my tuners went dead I've no way to verify what happened either
[12:18:27] justinh: should prolly invest £20 in a freeview STB at some point
[12:18:42] mzb: I've got DVB tuners coming out of my ears now
[12:18:48] PhoenixMage: Is it possible to setup multiple transcode profiles? So for example I am can take a show to transcode for me to play back on my ipod?
[12:18:48] mzb: (and STB's)
[12:18:56] justinh: I've got more tuners – they're in a box in the attic
[12:19:03] mzb: PhoenixMage, user jobs
[12:19:12] PhoenixMage: cool thanks
[12:19:17] PhoenixMage: I'll look into it
[12:19:49] simonckenyon: w_scan will search the entire DVB-T spectrum and create an initial tuning file
[12:19:56] mzb: eg: I have "Lossless transcode" (even though I have "High Quality" set to lossless) and "Cut to videos"

[12:20:51] PhoenixMage: or analogue tuners?
[12:21:35] PhoenixMage: mzb: yeah, I know thats why I am confused as to why you are lossless transcoding
[12:21:52] justinh: 'lossless transcode' actually isn't quite what it sounds like. It's cutting an mpeg file with the minimum of re-encoding
[12:22:00] mzb: it's *fast*, I've got heaps of space ....
[12:22:06] justinh: i.e. almost lossless ;)
[12:22:27] justinh: it also does away with redundant streams in the file
[12:22:33] portablejim: Still does not work,even after going to an earlier kernel.

[12:22:57] PhoenixMage: portablejim: What are you getting in dmesg in regards to the u3100?
[12:23:07] mzb: it's not the same as High Quality transcode (with high quality set to lossless)
[12:23:07] PhoenixMage: I compiled my own kernel for u3100
[12:23:17] justinh: mzb: still lossy at boundaries that don't adjoin keyframes

[12:26:59] mzb: try scanning at other times of the day
[12:27:25] justinh: also, it's worth checking the tv company's engineering work info pages if they have em ;)
[12:27:31] mzb: (particularly as you're on a low power digital relay)

[13:50:35] justinh: iamlindoro: well yeah. and it prolly won't work well for grid based layouts :P
[13:50:36] Dibblah: tmkt: Which installation instructions are you following?
[13:50:52] iamlindoro: justinh, Guess he spent a substantial amount of time making it do just that

[13:51:22] justinh: iamlindoro: but as with a few mythui features, it's possible to make a complete & utter arse of things if you really try hard enough ;)
[13:51:43] justinh: iamlindoro: wha? he made it work for grid based layouts too?
[13:51:50] iamlindoro: yeah
[13:52:05] justinh: how the effinelle? ;-O
[13:52:21] iamlindoro: not that I have experimented with it yet, but I got the sense that the big holdup was his getting grid looking right

[13:52:34] Dibblah: jya: Is it only for AC3 encoding? My receiver only does DTS :(
[13:52:56] resno: hello, where can i find the features slated for .22?
[13:53:02] tmkt: Dibblah: there are installation instructions?
[13:53:02] justinh: ah well. played a small part in sowing the seed, if not the solution :)
[13:53:05] jya: Dibblah: sorry what's that ?
[13:53:12] justinh: resno: mythtv wiki release notes
[13:53:20] Dibblah: Audio reencoding – Does it only do AC3?
[13:53:38] jya: if upmixing stereo, then yes
[13:53:53] jya: What kind of weird receiver is that ?
[13:53:59] tmkt: looked for some upgrading instructions
[13:54:34] Dibblah: SR-7200
[13:54:54] Dibblah: tmkt: Are you upgrading from 0.21 to trunk?
[13:55:03] tmkt: yeah
[13:55:07] tmkt: -fixes to -trunk
[13:55:29] Dibblah: The schema update takes a significant amount of time – And if you have interrupted it, you will be left with a database that is unusable, ISTR.
[13:56:24] tmkt: how do i know if it is doing anything? is there a progress indicator for the schema update?
[13:56:29] tmkt: when i started up the fe
[13:56:37] tmkt: i had the option to upgrade the schema i said go ahead
[13:56:45] tmkt: then waited 2 minutes...and then the fe crashed
[13:56:59] justinh: resno: http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Release_Notes_-_0.22
[13:57:17] Dibblah: How much RAM / swap on the FE?
[13:57:28] resno: justinh: thanks, i was looking at .21 and didnt realize it
[13:58:13] jya: Dibblah: The Marantz SR-7200 does AC3 as per its manual
[14:00:16] tmkt: dont care too much if the schema is all mest up
[14:00:24] tmkt: would just like the fe to come back up so i can start up again
[14:00:44] jya: seems you have to manually switch between DTS and AC3 though... I got the manual from there: http://us.marantz.com/c_sr7200_man.pdf

[14:02:26] jya: I can't say I've ever seen a receiver that doesn't do Dolby Digital if it had a digital input, provided that DD is compulsory for DVD or BR
[14:02:40] simonckenyon: last night – after a long struggle – i finally got my sony bd remote to work – not quite used to not having to point the remote at the box – i am best pleased
[14:03:13] Dibblah: I tried. Feeding it an AC3 stream doesn't appear to work. :(

[14:04:56] jya: Dibblah: I'd be interested to know how ticket #6975 works for you... and getting some feedback if you have issues, as I intend to commit it when 0.22 is out the door
[14:05:00] justinh: simonckenyon: I don't really have to point my remote at the box either. and it's IR :)
[14:05:25] tmkt: not sure if it has to do with me running mepo theme or not
[14:05:38] justinh: tmkt: probably
[14:06:10] tmkt: how do i disable the mepo theme? is that in the db? tried moving ~/.mythtv to .mythtv.old
[14:06:39] Dibblah: jya: I'll have a look after a while.
[14:06:39] justinh: rm -rf /
[14:06:50] simonckenyon: i have a diddy little logitech surround sound thing. it kept getting confused by the IR from my other remote. anyway, the response is very fast
[14:06:56] tmkt: k
[14:07:08] justinh: or just run myth with -O Theme=ThemeName
[14:07:13] justinh: :)
[14:07:13] simonckenyon: justinh: don't make suggestions like that – somebody might actually do it
[14:07:19] justinh: simonckenyon: boo hoo
[14:07:41] tmkt: what would be a valid theme for 22.. "Terra" ?
[14:07:45] simonckenyon: have you ever done it – not very pleasant
[14:07:59] justinh: simonckenyon: yes. it was a fun lesson to learn as an early gentoo user
[14:08:26] justinh: two weeks of working hard every night to get the tuner working & everything else, and then another week to repeat it all. heh
[14:08:35] simonckenyon: being a tad older than the rest of ye – it was a long time ago for me
[14:08:35] Dibblah: Terra should work.
[14:08:51] justinh: though at least 48 hours of that was compiling it on my 800mhz athlon
[14:09:02] tmkt: that was it..
[14:09:19] tmkt: so...note...dont use mepo when upgrading from 21 to 22
[14:09:30] simonckenyon: you should try a netbook
[14:09:35] justinh: there was a rumour mepo was going to be updated for trunk but nobody has seen any evidence

[14:11:42] justinh: and hopefully nor will anybody else
[14:12:22] tmkt: yeah...just something to add to the release notes
[14:12:29] tmkt: change to a different theme before trying the upgrade

[14:17:00] justinh: if the main menu xml is ok, mythfrontend *should* fall back to working default xml files for other screens
[14:17:19] justinh: but if a theme is just gonna be a customised menu, why bother at all?

[15:40:12] mcbane: hi
[15:40:31] mcbane: what svn version would you recommend to compile at the moment?
[15:40:36] PeaceKeeper: Anyone load .22 on Centos? I want to load .22 to help test / maybe help patch.
[15:40:59] ** cesman wonders the last time mcbane was on The Simpsons... **
[15:41:18] PeaceKeeper: My machines is currently CentOS 5.3 and I was not sure if that is a good OS to help test.
[15:41:34] mcbane: that guy is actually spelled McBain ;)
[15:43:39] cesman: :-)
[15:43:56] sphery: mcbane: the -fixes branch is always the best choice unless you want to help fix bugs
[15:44:24] sphery: Going from 0.21-fixes to 0.22 (when released) should be relatively painless (as long as you don't corrupt your DB)
[15:44:38] mcbane: sphery: actually I have a bug which causes 0.21-fix to segfault
[15:44:47] sphery: i.e. if using Gentoo and just getting started do /not/ use the -latin1 USE flag for MySQL
[15:44:47] mcbane: so I thought I try something new ;)
[15:44:56] sphery: which bug?
[15:45:18] mcbane: mythtv-setup segfaults if I try to do a channel scan
[15:45:32] sphery: then you need to do: taskset -c 0 mythtv-setup
[15:45:40] sphery: in 0.21-fixes and all will be fine
[15:46:00] sphery: it's a known race condition that's worked around by not using multiple cores (only in mythtv-setup where the cores aren't helpful, anyway)
[15:46:04] mcbane: I read about it, but this is a 600 mhz amd mobile with a single core. Nevertheless I tried and failed

[16:15:34] simonckenyon: to be honest – the reverse is a valid reason for using gentoo – you really have to know what you are doing to install it – so the clueless quotient is a bit lower
[16:16:24] PeaceKeeper: Gentoo "no dependency rubbish" is nice

[16:29:24] simonckenyon: well best of luck in your quest
[16:30:05] maty: i got used to the delay
[16:30:09] sphery: maty: the whole idea of Myth is to record anything you /might/ possibly decide to watch--it's not a VCR, so you don't have to record only what you think is great
[16:30:23] maty: but i wouldnt want it to be longer
[16:30:30] sphery: I delete entire seasons of shows without watching them
[16:30:57] sphery: but in the event that I run out of stuff to watch, I have stuff that's better than whatever garbage happens to air when I sit down
[16:31:01] simonckenyon: sphery: how much disk space do you have?
[16:31:07] sphery: 6.5TB :)
[16:31:10] maty: haha
[16:31:34] simonckenyon: i thought i was sad with 2.5
[16:31:43] sphery: but with standard def, even 1TB is a ton of storage... I have about 1.5TiB free right now and have almost 1000 recordings
[16:32:11] sphery: sad thing is there are quite a few people in here whose systems make my 6.5TB seem paltry
[16:32:28] sphery: 973 programs, using 4.6 TB (1 month 12 days 16 hrs 11 mins) out of 6 TB (1.4 TB free).
[16:32:29] maty: i got 100gb
[16:32:36] sphery: (where those numbers are TiB, not TB)
[16:33:01] maty: and without hd im doing good so far
[16:33:17] maty: you guys record hd or what?
[16:33:22] simonckenyon: i had a raid 5 system – but i bought 10 disks together and they all failed within a month of each other – lost a lot that day
[16:33:40] sphery: yeah, I wouldn't want less than 500GB for SDTV, but you can get by with only 100GB--after all TiVo users have done it for years :)
[16:34:00] sphery: maty: yeah, /all/ of my recordings are digital recordings and >90% are high-definition
[16:35:02] sphery: But, with 1TB HDD at $60–70 and 1.5TB at $90-$100, it's getting cheap enough to have some real storage--even on an SDTV-only system--so you can record all sorts of stuff
[16:35:22] sphery: and watch TV on /your/ schedules (not the network's) and skip commercials and timestretch and ...
[16:35:46] simonckenyon: sounds like mythtv might be worthwhile after all :-)

[16:37:33] simonckenyon: it happens if there is nothing defined – suspect it might be a corner case that was not tested

[16:38:12] sphery: yeah, we seem to have issues in several places--possibly due to settings breakage from the Qt4 port
[16:38:25] sphery: several places within the SG editor, even
[16:38:25] simonckenyon: no big deal – just confusing – and we are about to get gazillions of new users when the (windows) release comes out
[16:38:43] sphery: yeah, and the whole settings thing needs fixed, anyway
[16:38:54] sphery: it /should/ probably be a blocker, but no one wants to look into it
[16:39:01] sphery: So, I'll look at it today...
[16:39:07] simonckenyon: SG would be so cool if it did .iso files – that is what all my videos are

[16:39:16] maty: windows backend?
[16:39:20] simonckenyon: there are bigger bugs to fix that that
[16:39:26] simonckenyon: no windows backend – just frontend
[16:39:47] simonckenyon: well i could be wrong
[16:39:51] sphery: ISO's require hacks--libdvdnav only works with block devices, so the current approach is NBD
[16:40:11] maty: windows backend would be nice
[16:40:11] sphery: not pretty enough to make it in during the feature freeze, but will probably be there for 0.23
[16:40:13] maty: err
[16:40:14] maty: fe
[16:43:12] simonckenyon: sphery: could not find my way around the code – did not realise the restriction was in libdvdnav
[16:43:35] JJ1 (JJ1!n=jjensen@jeffjensen.dsl.visi.com) has joined #mythtv-users
[16:44:00] sphery: yeah--or possibly only the libdvdcss stuff--I've heard both mentioned
[16:44:25] sphery: but I'm pretty sure it's actually in libdvdnav
[16:45:42] sphery: now that I've done a google search, I'm about 99.9% positive it's a restriction in libdvdnav (which means it's /also/ a restriction in libdvdcss), but ...
[16:46:42] simonckenyon: oh well – just means i cannot use all that janu goodness – or run mixed windows and linux frontends – the full path is in the db
[16:47:09] simonckenyon: or i could be completely wrong as usual
[16:47:11] sphery: Ubuntu is setting up SG's for all "normal" video files
[16:47:38] sphery: but then using the MythVideo (local) directory list for the DVD drive
[16:47:56] simonckenyon: if you don't have iso's – everything is just hunky dory
[16:48:01] sphery: could do the same, and store your ISO's in an NFS-mounted share in the local dir list
[16:48:23] elmojo: sphery, iamlindoro: just to be sure – if I covert to using storage groups then playback will use native mythtv streaming even if the file exists locally (via nfs, samba)
[16:48:42] simonckenyon: 95% of my stuff is .iso files
[16:49:36] sphery: elmojo: pretty sure it will use local access if the hostname is the same as the local host's, might actually use local access anyway if you have NFS mounts (unless you set "Always stream ... from backend")
[16:49:54] sphery: elmojo: though all of that is just a guess as I haven't played with any of it
[16:49:56] elmojo: k, thanks
[16:50:22] sphery: simonckenyon: ah, yeah, if the majority is ISO's, then you will lose out on the SG goodness.  :)
[16:50:31] simonckenyon: will go home now and have a fiddle – i was put off my the full paths in the db
[16:50:42] sphery: unless you apply the NBD patch (which will probably make the rounds shortly after 0.22 is out)
[16:50:55] sphery: the full paths in the DB will be fixed for 0.23
[16:50:56] elmojo: the Internal player seems to have issues when playing back very high bit-rate videos across nfs and samba mounts
[16:51:02] simonckenyon: what NBD patch?
[16:51:13] sphery: the one that Grey Foxx was working on
[16:51:25] sphery: not ready, but will probably make the rounds...

[17:23:58] tmkt (tmkt!n=tmkt@CPE00242b77265d-CM0016b533ff4a.cpe.net.cable.rogers.com) has quit (Remote closed the connection)
[17:24:06] squidly: justinh: multiple devices accessing the same array can produce 50M/s access
[17:24:23] CyberKnet: That's what I was thinking ... just one HD source is ~18mbps
[17:24:24] justinh: in what kind of scenario? lol
[17:24:31] justinh: in a home network? sheesh
[17:24:54] iamlindoro: squidly: WHAT?
[17:24:58] squidly: justinh: yea. Though my raid array is doing torrents and myth to several frontends
[17:25:04] iamlindoro: If you have > 25 frontends
[17:25:10] justinh: roflmao
[17:25:14] squidly: haha
[17:25:15] iamlindoro: HD video is #-4 MB/s
[17:25:18] iamlindoro: er 3–4
[17:25:26] justinh: yeah all those ubuntu ISOs can get heavy
[17:25:29] justinh: :-/
[17:25:35] squidly: justinh: lol
[17:25:44] justinh: FYI I'm giving you a getout so you don't hang yourself in a logged channel
[17:25:48] CyberKnet: 18 megabits per second – 2.225 megabytes per second
[17:25:55] CyberKnet: 2.25 even
[17:26:08] iamlindoro: CyberKnet: figures based on maximal bitrate, Blu ray
[17:26:38] CyberKnet: iamlindoro: Are you talking megabits or megabytes? I get MB/Mb/mb mixed up...
[17:27:17] squidly: justinh: I know that. Also I know most drives wont push that much data. Actually going 50Mb/s required someone to hit 400mb/s
[17:27:23] CyberKnet: I could easily see HD doing 3–4 megabytes per second at the maximal end.
[17:27:38] justinh: squidly: over-engineering for the sake of it IMHO. carry on
[17:27:51] iamlindoro: CyberKnet: Point being Raid )/fast drives are more or less useless unless you have *dozens* of frontends
[17:27:56] iamlindoro: er RAID 0
[17:28:03] squidly: justinh: I usualy over engineer most of my stuff :D
[17:28:16] CyberKnet: iamlindoro: agreed. I do RAID 5 for redundancy.
[17:28:16] justinh: and then you go & spoil it all by putting it on a network :P
[17:28:48] squidly: that is what I do as well for my torrents/movie arrays. also it allows me to expand as I get new drives :D
[17:28:54] CyberKnet: iamlindoro: whether or not RAID speeds up access or throughput is not a priority for me, I just don't want to lose TV  :)
[17:29:23] kormoc: !trout squiidly torrents are forbidden in here
[17:29:23] ** MythLogBot slaps squiidly with a torrents are forbidden in here trout on behalf of kormoc... **
[17:29:39] justinh: file squirrels intrigue me. why do they feel the need to keep absolutely everything? And *have* absolutely everything?

[17:29:41] squidly: kormoc: ubuntu torrents and legal torrents!
[17:30:12] CyberKnet: iamlindoro: I was just trying to guage whether 5400rpm drives would give less enough throughput that I might be concerned about recording two hd and two sd sources simultaneously. 5400rpm can reduce cost significantly.
[17:30:36] kormoc: justinh: well, being a semi-file squirrel, my data is all there is of me, without it, I'd be lost...
[17:30:49] iamlindoro: CyberKnet: Really, really unlikely
[17:30:52] CyberKnet: justinh: file squirrel?
[17:30:59] CyberKnet: iamlindoro: Gotcha.
[17:31:08] justinh: CyberKnet: yeah they hoard absolutely everything :)
[17:31:18] squidly: CyberKnet: like iamlindoro 25+ frontends ;D
[17:32:01] iamlindoro: or two, but close enough
[17:32:06] CyberKnet: justinh: Are you saying that RAID5 for TV is file squirrelling?
[17:32:52] ** kormoc taps his foot waiting for the 2 tb wd blacks to drop down in price to a reasonable amount **
[17:32:52] iamlindoro: RAID5 for Myth recording drives may or may not be squirreling, but it *is* a horrible idea
[17:33:03] CyberKnet: iamlindoro: because?
[17:33:06] iamlindoro: MythVideo, OK, but recording... no es bueno
[17:33:24] CyberKnet: Not debating here, but curious as to your reasoning...
[17:33:30] iamlindoro: CyberKnet: Because you thrash on *all* those drives every time you record something
[17:33:43] CyberKnet: You would prefer mirroring?
[17:33:45] kormoc: DELETE FROM oldrecord WHERE (chanid, starttime) = ANY (SELECT chanid, starttime FROM recorded);
[17:33:52] kormoc: boom, they'll rerecord now!
[17:33:53] squidly: and shorten the life span of the drives
[17:33:59] iamlindoro: No, I'm saying you'll wear out the drives right quick that way
[17:34:14] iamlindoro: Better to use SGs for recordings, and move anything you care to keep into Mythvideo
[17:34:19] kormoc: it's why I keep a 2 year max on all my hardware
[17:34:21] CyberKnet: kormoc: Not everything re-records in a timely fashion.
[17:34:21] iamlindoro: where you'll write once, and leave it alone
[17:34:45] kormoc: CyberKnet: imho, if I haven't watched it in a timely fashion, it didn't matter that much to me
[17:34:59] iamlindoro: I once accidentally ended up with 50 recordings :)
[17:35:07] iamlindoro: when I neglected my maintenance
[17:35:28] ** kormoc has around 650 in default and 250 in deleted **
[17:35:32] CyberKnet: You use MythVideo to watch your recorded TV?
[17:35:35] iamlindoro: 26 right now and I already feel like I'm drowning
[17:36:03] squidly: iamlindoro: only you use your mythtv sysetm huh? no kids or wife or anything like that?
[17:36:04] iamlindoro: CyberKnet: I watch my shows, setting cutpoints as I go, then lossless transcode anything I'm going to keep and move it to MythVideo
[17:36:25] CyberKnet: oh. i have about 90-some recordings right now.
[17:36:33] CyberKnet: I don't necessarily watch everything right away.
[17:36:36] iamlindoro: squidly: Girlfriend, Dog, one of which doesn't use the myth box
[17:36:51] iamlindoro: CyberKnet: Even in that instance, if I know it's something I'll keep, I'll move it to MV and catch up later
[17:37:07] iamlindoro: As of now I have a MythVideo that's as pretty or prettier than Watch Recordings, so nothing is really lost :)
[17:37:11] squidly: iamlindoro: ok. My fiancee loves her "Reality" tv so I have that chewing up diskspace quite a bit
[17:37:18] squidly: I ususaly end up with about 100 recoarding
[17:37:32] kormoc: solution, get rid of the fiancee

[17:37:48] iamlindoro: Not much lost by moving it :)
[17:38:07] CyberKnet: Here's a dumb question ... can I use a user job to move something to RAID storage and still have it be in the Recorded TV screen, but not have MythTV use the RAID5 device to record new TV to?
[17:38:21] CyberKnet: keeping stuff in the RecordedTV screen versus MythVideo
[17:38:37] iamlindoro: Probably doable, though I'm not sure you gain anything from that
[17:38:46] CyberKnet: I mean, I'd be happy to write the perl script that performed the action... not asking someone else to code for me.
[17:39:04] CyberKnet: iamlindoro: I use the DVR menu layout, I'd like to keep stuff in the RecordedTV screen.
[17:39:18] iamlindoro: Media Center menu theme FTW ;)
[17:39:34] CyberKnet: heh.
[17:39:41] iamlindoro: and not just 'cause I wrote it
[17:39:57] iamlindoro: but because I happen to think it puts all the important stuff at the top and hides the rest
[17:40:18] squidly: i'm trying to find the new themes for 0.22 I like them :D
[17:40:28] kormoc: iamlindoro: should have laga run the menu mapper on it
[17:40:29] Captain_Murdoch: CyberKnet, just create an 'Archive' (or whatever name you want) Storage Group pointed at that directory. then in your user job, move the file from the regular dir into that directory and Myth will happily find it when you go to play back the recording. you can always use the myth_archiv_job.pl script in contrib which does the same thing already. just delete or comment out hte part that does the linking back to the origin
[17:40:30] Captain_Murdoch: al directory since that's not needed anymore with Storage Groups. make sure your backend can read/write the new directory so that files can be streamed and deleted as necessary.
[17:40:56] iamlindoro: kormoc: isn't it jam s who does that?
[17:41:01] kormoc: ahh
[17:41:02] kormoc: likely
[17:41:14] kormoc: Today is not my day
[17:41:18] iamlindoro: all good
[17:41:19] sphery: Captain_Murdoch: Speaking of which, would you object to my removing the symlink line from myth_archive_job.pl
[17:41:35] CyberKnet: Captain_Murdoch: very nice, thanks for the tip.
[17:41:35] Captain_Murdoch: sphery, no, feel free, or make it an option if you want.
[17:41:48] sphery: is there ever a reason to make the link?
[17:42:08] Captain_Murdoch: not really, none that I know of
[17:42:17] sphery: I'll go the easy route, then. :)
[17:42:25] iamlindoro: heh, you'll find out when someone caterwauls on the list when you change it
[17:42:34] sphery: guess so
[17:42:40] Captain_Murdoch: they can use an old copy.
[17:42:44] elmojo: iamlindoro: what trade-offs exist currently between using files versus storage groups with MythVideo?
[17:42:47] Rodya (Rodya!n=Lenish@r61h51.res.gatech.edu) has quit (Read error: 110 (Connection timed out))
[17:42:50] Captain_Murdoch: does the current version support SGs?
[17:43:04] iamlindoro: "OK, which one of you B****es took away size:small?"
[17:43:06] sphery: but if that someone is using 0.18.1, they can just use a version from closer to their version of Myth
[17:43:31] sphery: Captain_Murdoch: the current version of archive_job?
[17:43:35] Captain_Murdoch: yeah
[17:43:36] iamlindoro: elmojo: http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/MythVideo_.22_Transition_Guide
[17:43:51] sphery: no, it doesn't... I could hack in some bindings usage that gets the list of SG dirs, etc
[17:44:02] sphery: the hardest part, though, is figuring out what host we're currently on

[17:44:21] iamlindoro: elmojo: In short, no playback of ISO from SGs, and no use of external players
[17:44:24] sphery: (i.e. because there's the LocalHostName unique identifier/override and stuff)
[17:44:24] squidly: storage groups dont really require you to use nfs on between your frontend and backend
[17:44:28] tmkt: any idea what would be causing random lockups with v0.22?
[17:44:35] ** Captain_Murdoch can't remember the code he wrote. it doesn't really need to support SG's since it takes a dirname and filename as options. **
[17:44:37] iamlindoro: elmojo: There were previously many more limitations, but most of them have been solved in the past month or two
[17:44:39] olejl (olejl!n=olejl@95.66.29.135) has quit ("Leaving.")
[17:44:44] kormoc: tmkt: the lack of it's existence perhaps?
[17:44:52] elmojo: iamlindoro: those are not disadvantages for me
[17:44:58] Dagmar: Come on
[17:45:01] Dagmar: That's only a minor hindrance.
[17:45:04] sphery: tmkt: if truly random, perhaps it's cosmic rays--they're at an all-(recorded-)time high right now due to the solar minimum
[17:45:05] Dagmar: Just look at E3 coverage.
[17:45:11] tmkt: that was my guess
[17:45:16] sphery: :)
[17:45:27] iamlindoro: elmojo: If you can live with those, then it's pretty much all advantages from then on
[17:45:32] tmkt: so i put the server in a lead walled room
[17:45:37] elmojo: iamlindoro: neither the Internal player or other external players can play back high bitrate videos via nfs or samba
[17:45:38] iamlindoro: elmojo: My favorite is the "zero conf" frontend
[17:45:49] kormoc: tmkt: superman will break in to see what you're hiding
[17:45:54] tmkt: at the bottom of the SNO observatory in sudbury
[17:46:01] iamlindoro: elmojo: I dunno, I used to do so without issue, but...
[17:46:10] tmkt: backend working great
[17:46:13] iamlindoro: I continue to not have issues with those same files via SG
[17:46:46] sphery: tmkt: or in the middle of a neutrino detector
[17:46:48] elmojo: iamlindoro: bottom line is that I've never had issue with mythtv streaming while nfs and samba have sucked for me
[17:46:58] sphery: they do a good job of shielding those things from cosmic rays
[17:47:03] tmkt: thats the SNO
[17:47:08] elmojo: iamlindoro: so the SG feature is a big deal for me

[17:47:13] iamlindoro: elmojo: Cool-- so as long as you don't need to play back DVD rips, and use Internal, you should be in good shape
[17:47:17] tmkt: bottom of an old mine shaft
[17:47:35] sphery: tmkt: ah, didn't notice you mentioned that already
[17:47:48] kormoc: sphery: but then a stray neutrino can cascade into the plasma stream and cause a temporal anonymity which flips a bit to 0.5!
[17:47:51] tmkt: ok..thinking of doing a clean install of mythbuntu 9.10 beta – a wiki someewhere showing me what to backup so I dont lose my recordings?
[17:48:01] iamlindoro: Being able to plug in a new frontend, give it a working config.xml, and already have mythvideo and Recordings work is huge to me
[17:48:05] sphery: woah... that would be bad...
[17:48:16] iamlindoro: not that I add frontends often, but I do care about the user experience
[17:48:22] sphery: tmkt: do a full backup, as at: http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Database_Backup_and_Restore
[17:48:28] tmkt: ok perfect
[17:48:33] sphery: tmkt: on the new system, ideally do a full restore
[17:48:48] elmojo: iamlindoro: the Internal player wasn't an option last week due to the bugs I've been resolving
[17:49:03] sphery: tmkt: and it's easiest if you use the same hostname for old/new systems--otherwise, you may need to do http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Database_Backup_an . . . d_or_backend after restoring the old backup, but /before/ starting /any/ mythtv apps
[17:49:12] tmkt: nah..same hostname
[17:49:15] elmojo: iamlindoro: now everything is playing fine for me
[17:49:19] tmkt: dont want to do anything to complicated
[17:49:21] sphery: best approach, by far
[17:49:27] tmkt: just know that the update-manager -D
[17:49:31] tmkt: messed things up pretty good
[17:49:46] tmkt: remote isn't working anymore

[17:51:58] CyberKnet: I really liked Terra
[17:52:19] sphery: CyberKnet: or print out a large picture of the screenshots and tape it to the TV screen... Then, if it takes a while, you can just say that she must be using it wrong if it doesn't do anything...

[17:53:30] squidly: I should try my hand at theming
[17:53:32] CyberKnet: The theme designers have been doing amazing jobs.
[17:53:45] CyberKnet: much props to them – it's a hard thing to do for most of us.
[17:54:10] iamlindoro: squidly: http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/MythUI_Theme_Development
[17:54:25] iamlindoro: CyberKnet: It's a hard thing to do for the theme designers, too :)
[17:54:44] elmojo: iamlindoro: I just decided to get smart and run iperf between my frontend and my backend and I'm getting ~ 10 Mbits/sec
[17:54:51] elmojo: awesome!
[17:54:56] CyberKnet: iamlindoro: Much props and kudos to them for making things that allow me to enjoy MythTV so much.
[17:58:08] CyberKnet: One thing that always irked me in the Recorded TV screen was if a recording didn't record all the way for some reason it still shows the original time period. So maybe you intended 1:00pm-1:30pm, and recorded from 1:00pm – 1:16pm ... can I modify the theme to show the actual end time instead of the intended end time?
[17:58:59] iamlindoro: You could put recstarttime and recendtime in
[17:59:17] iamlindoro: versus starttime and endtime
[17:59:31] CyberKnet: Hmm... maybe I'll mess around with that. It's very infrequent that it would help (usually when I've been hosing with the backend) but it would definitely help on occasion.
[17:59:45] CyberKnet: Is there an reason to prefer starttime and endtime over recstarttime and recendtime?
[18:00:21] iamlindoro: many people would prefer not to see their pre-roll/postroll/whatever delay MBE had in getting the recording started
[18:00:30] CyberKnet: that makes sene.
[18:00:44] iamlindoro: to me, 9:53:27–10:01:15 makes less sense than 9:00–10:00
[18:01:06] gbee: but you can edit the theme to change that should you want
[18:01:13] sphery: iamlindoro: Oh, speaking of ready for deletion--MythTV is no longer on page 1 of Google results for "Apple trailers" now that we've removed the content from the page that linked and explained usage of the script that violates the Apple website ToS
[18:01:18] iamlindoro: yeah, I was mentioning that to him
[18:01:18] gbee: oh, iamlindoro already said that
[18:01:36] iamlindoro: sphery: what a shame ;)
[18:01:39] CyberKnet: gbee: Yes, thanks. I wasn't trying to suggest that someone else should modify themes to suit me – I hope it didn't come across that way.
[18:01:53] iamlindoro: CyberKnet: Don't think it came across that way
[18:02:09] CyberKnet: Oh, and I just found the theme xml reference for the recordings screen
[18:02:42] iamlindoro: Yes, we're trying to make sure good, up to date, and easy references for MythUI are available
[18:02:51] gbee: with mythui I'd encourage people to make custom changes to themes to suit their own tastes, it's certainly better than adding dozens of settings to do the same level of customisation and not difficult
[18:02:54] sphery: I'm actually glad that Dagmar was thinking outside the box and actually removed the content from the page (even though it hadn't been deleted, yet).
[18:02:57] CyberKnet: I really appreciate it. It's very detailed.
[18:04:22] CyberKnet: Oooh, a progress bar to show free space. Now that would be nifty on the recordings screen. The things you learn you can do... :)

[18:09:00] gbee: CyberKnet: right hand side, the list of recordings, let hand side the list of titles
[18:09:00] iamlindoro: the right list has a variable size selected item, which is not possible in the current code, but opens all sorts of awesome possibilities
[18:09:04] CyberKnet: I get it now, thanks.
[18:09:23] sphery: iamlindoro: Fixes the lack of a variable-sized button?
[18:09:30] iamlindoro: sphery: hahahahahaha
[18:09:31] CyberKnet: "is not possible in the current code" ... but is with the patch, I take it?
[18:09:43] iamlindoro: CyberKnet: correct
[18:09:50] CyberKnet: Will that patch make it for .22?

[18:10:21] iamlindoro: CyberKnet: No, but hopefully for .23
[18:10:26] gbee: CyberKnet: no, we're in feature freeze and it's just too invasive
[18:10:28] CyberKnet: gbee: Yeah, I'd never noticed before that all buttons in a button list had to be the same size.
[18:10:32] Dagmar: So it's only a matter of time before someone makes a mac kicker theme

[18:11:21] gbee: CyberKnet: not quite, Terra makes a lot of use of larger selected buttons, but does it by having them overlap their neighbours
[18:12:07] iamlindoro: CyberKnet: Plan is for a much quicker next release
[18:12:15] sphery: gbee: and using negative offsets?
[18:12:18] gbee: CyberKnet: probably February
[18:12:21] sphery: (=OpenGL painter only?)
[18:12:50] gbee: sphery: aye, but negative offsets aren't an issue unless they are off the screen negative :)

[18:24:05] iamlindoro: justinh: Yeah, just saying it's really not something said even in casual swearing here
[18:24:17] elmojo: iamlindoro: how did you like them?
[18:24:33] iamlindoro: elmojo: I thought it was a nice system, and I thought the build quality was very good
[18:24:45] justinh: I blame Charlton Brooker :P Though he never actually says it.. it's C-bleep
[18:24:47] iamlindoro: elmojo: I'm not 100% sold on VDPAU as the one and only effective renderer in a system, though
[18:24:55] elmojo: iamlindoro: I think the PS or motherboard hit the bucket – either way I can't fix it cause it's a very old SFF system
[18:25:45] justinh: they were always prone to that risk elmojo
[18:26:02] elmojo: iamlindoro: I've been happy with VDPAU but understand/agree with your opinions about it
[18:26:03] justinh: non-standard stuff always was & always will be
[18:26:34] justinh: I'd love to have a spare £250 to whack on one of those diddy asrock units. and another £500 for a spanky new telly
[18:26:39] iamlindoro: elmojo: That said the box at least has two cores so there's some hope for it taking up some slack when ffmpeg-mt is merged
[18:26:42] elmojo: justinh: I know – the question is now but another proprietary SFF or build one
[18:26:57] elmojo: s/but/buy/
[18:27:08] justinh: oh wait, I'm still hung on whether HD is really worth having or not while I'm so interested in content having narrative
[18:27:36] justinh: wonder how long it'll be before *most* content is HD. Maybe then
[18:27:42] iamlindoro: So Heroes is only managing to be 60% asscrap this season, rather than the traditional 100%
[18:27:46] elmojo: iamlindor: I'm tempted by the Acer Revo here -> http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16883103228
[18:27:59] elmojo: just because it's cheap – but no DVD drive and single core
[18:28:05] justinh: iamlindoro: I gave up on season erm. two I think
[18:28:07] iamlindoro: elmojo: Single core, though... If VDPAU can't handle something, you're humped
[18:28:21] elmojo: also wondering if I can run Temporal or Temporal Spatial on HD 1080i or not
[18:28:40] justinh: iamlindoro: it'll be like having an epia frontend playing mpeg2 sdtv!
[18:28:53] iamlindoro: heh
[18:29:01] elmojo: pretty sure worst case I could enable skip_chroma option and get VDPAU Temporal 2X working
[18:29:05] justinh: will it play? will it not play? Prace bet now!
[18:29:05] iamlindoro: wonder how many people will be angry with me for breaking MythVideo for them this release

[18:50:19] AndrewNC: squidly: my goal is to write a alsa control plugin, so volume adjustment in mythtv "just works"
[18:50:35] AndrewNC: intercept the vol adjustments for the spdif output

[18:59:06] sphery: (and it doesn't have the redacted stuff :)
[18:59:09] AndrewNC: it is a scan of a photocopy of a fax of one they pulled out of a garage sale
[18:59:31] AndrewNC: justinh: the protocol is documented, I just need hardware that supports it
[18:59:39] justinh: what what what?!
[18:59:42] wagnerrp: iamlindoro: did i see you mention a couple days ago that ALL entries in mythvideo now use relative paths?
[18:59:43] sphery: AndrewNC: told you it was an old reciever--seemingly it was made before computer-based word processing...
[18:59:44] justinh: they *documented* it?!
[18:59:50] wagnerrp: both storagegroup and local content?
[18:59:57] iamlindoro: wagnerrp: no, just those hosted in SGs
[19:00:03] AndrewNC: it is just a dedicated pin that uses some protocol I forgot
[19:00:06] justinh: that sounds like they actually want it to succeed on some level. Bloody weird
[19:00:08] sphery: iamlindoro: no, all of them do
[19:00:12] AndrewNC: some guy sells a usb box to tap into it
[19:00:28] sphery: iamlindoro: where the relative might be relative to VideoStartupDir dirs
[19:00:29] justinh: this is planet Earth still right?
[19:00:37] AndrewNC: however, I have no idea (or doubts) that nvidia hardware supports it, or has driver access
[19:00:48] iamlindoro: sphery: Erm... where do you get that idea?
[19:00:57] wagnerrp: it was some comment about using a preceding '/' in the path to determine the difference
[19:01:07] justinh: AndrewNC: so it's not using OOB signalling? didn't think there were control signals on HDMI
[19:01:11] wagnerrp: but now that doesnt work because no filenames will start with a '/'
[19:01:16] justinh: I'm happy to be wrong :)
[19:01:25] iamlindoro: wagnerrp: a preceding / is just proof that it's a local file, since filenames of local stuff are absolute
[19:01:33] sphery: iamlindoro: from the code I modified in http://svn.mythtv.org/trac/changeset/21924
[19:01:35] AndrewNC: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HDMI#CEC

[19:02:39] ** iamlindoro grumbles **
[19:02:47] AndrewNC: but their is a move to standardize the command sets
[19:02:49] iamlindoro: sass talk me about MythVideo when you don't even use it...
[19:02:54] justinh: AndrewNC: wiki article seems to say same protocol different names
[19:03:13] sphery: I'm just trying to spread rumors which you'll be attempting to quash for the next 12mos
[19:03:21] iamlindoro: yay!
[19:03:33] iamlindoro: I heard the DB backup script corrupts databases
[19:03:36] AndrewNC: the protocol is the same, but I think that the commands to do things differ

[19:05:52] justinh: $100 for something with a micro in it? bet there's a DIY project before long
[19:05:53] wagnerrp: i can use parentheses to separate parts of 'where' clauses right?
[19:05:56] AndrewNC: firm I used to work for placed many hardware engineers at nvidia, so maybe I can get some contacts and sleuth out info
[19:06:00] sphery: I should look into getting one for my TV (which has a /very/ well documented serial-control protocol
[19:06:08] wagnerrp: like 'where <blah> or (<blah> and <blah>)'
[19:06:12] sphery: getting one = generic A/V control software
[19:06:13] justinh: AndrewNC: bet the pin isn't even wired up

[19:13:06] AndrewNC: if you come up with a protocol and a homebrew design, I'll help out :-)
[19:13:53] AndrewNC: the hdmi docs include CEC info, if you can find a freely available copy

[19:45:23] justinh: or re-rip your FG collection
[19:45:24] sphery: really, both SED and NED are FED: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Field_emission_display
[19:45:39] sphery: Up with FED. Get FED up!
[19:46:53] justinh: flexy: ffmpeg -i $filename will tell you the audio codec used
[19:46:57] flexy: justinh: according to mplayer commandline output, they are "Stream #0.1: Audio: mp3, 24000 Hz, 2 channels, s16, 48 kb/s" and for example music player plays mp3 files OK.
[19:47:19] justinh: mp3, 24khz? EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEW
[19:47:36] justinh: methinks mplayer lies
[19:47:39] justinh: try ffmpeg
[19:47:54] flexy: sorry, that output was from ffmpeg
[19:48:12] sphery: So, NED = Motorola's name for FED ("Nano-emissive display") and SED is Canon's simplification of FED ("Surface-conduction electron-emitter display")
[19:48:44] sphery: I'd actually be happy with any FED, but SED and NED seem to be the most likely to be seen soon
[19:48:59] justinh: so the problem might be that the audio samplerate is retarded
[19:49:22] flexy: I agree, it seems a bit odd. :)

[20:10:12] flexy: sphery: right, I suspected it.
[20:11:06] flexy: I'm using vdpau and I should not be using any playback adjustments...
[20:11:08] sphery: so, you can play back in a different app on a different computer/monitor (ideally completely different setup with different video card and/or OS--or at least distro) and see if it's likely your system config or the video itself was badly encoded

[20:23:10] juju_: And yes, before you ask me, I see the FAQ and I disabled direct ac3 output, agressive sound buffering, etc.
[20:24:39] flexy: justinh: is it normally so that they do not even come to close to full saturated values on broadcast tv?
[20:24:59] justinh: back when broadcast standards actually meant something yeah
[20:25:37] justinh: but that was before digital TV
[20:26:09] flexy: ok, I thought I remembered something like that.
[20:26:36] AndyCap: flexy: then again, who knows what happened to the signal before your provider inserted it into your digital stream
[20:26:56] flexy: I must be checking for this at all other channels also... And make a complaint to provider. But I'm sure it leads to nothing. They have marbles for eyes...
[20:27:25] AndyCap: flexy: nah, they have no incentive to care.
[20:27:26] flexy: AndyCap: true. but they still are providing it. should make sure that it has some quality...
[20:27:39] AndyCap: flexy: why? :) most people still pay
[20:28:03] AndyCap: and they probably have a regional monopoly so.
[20:28:14] flexy: yeah, I know. I tried to complain of a pay-tv channels, which had black bars on every side... vertically and horizontally
[20:28:56] AndyCap: flexy: well, they probably think it only has bars on two sides. :) top and bottom.
[20:29:05] jduggan: hey, for any brits that didnt realise.. trueblood is airing on c4 tomorrow night, set your recording schedule up :)
[20:29:11] AndyCap: :) but you went and bought a 16:9 tv.
[20:29:16] flexy: they just did not understand. perhaps myth was not able to zoom the picture (and lose the resolution) like commercial dvb receivers. and those marble eyes did not see anything wrong with their zoomed pictures...
[20:29:48] AndyCap: most annoying feature of the cable provider here. sending 16:9 channels in 4:3 letterbox.
[20:30:02] AndyCap: Yay!
[20:30:16] flexy: yeah, 16:9 50". 4:3 picture should have bars, but just on sides. not top and bottom too...
[20:31:10] AndyCap: flexy: not if the 4:3 picture contains 16:9 letterbox from an analog signal they just mpeg encoded and stuffed into the stream.. and probably oversaturated it along the way for good measure. :>
[20:31:14] AndrewNC: AndyCap: just "zoom"
[20:31:46] AndyCap: AndrewNC: that doesn't change the fact that they provide crap.
[20:31:51] AndrewNC: I believe mfe has a feature to autodetect that and zoom
[20:31:52] flexy: AndrewNC: and lose the resolution. but then again, it's already lost when they packaged it so..
[20:31:55] AndrewNC: no, that is true
[20:32:10] justinh: AFAIK F1 coverage is shot by one company & distributed to whoever pays for it
[20:32:15] meshe_: makes me glad I don't pay a monthly cable bill, i'd cancel it otherwise
[20:32:22] AndyCap: but I suspect they think it's incentivizing purchase of HD
[20:32:42] AndyCap: at extra cost, extra boxes and extra encraption of course.
[20:32:44] flexy: justinh: that should be just that. but in which format do they distribute it?
[20:32:58] justinh: proper HD no doubt
[20:33:15] justinh: very high bitrate, pristine quality I suspect
[20:33:21] flexy: justinh: OK, then they reencode it here
[20:33:33] AndyCap: heh, garbage in = garbage out does unfortunately not mean gold in = gold out.
[20:33:42] flexy: it's normal SD resolution here. Might even be interlaced...
[20:34:08] justinh: depends – they have different rates for HD/SD I expect
[20:34:25] flexy: Stream #0.0[0x130]: Video: mpeg2video, yuv420p, 720x576 [PAR 64:45 DAR 16:9], 4900 kb/s, 25 tbr, 90k tbn, 50 tbc
[20:34:37] flexy: SD resolution here
[20:34:59] AndyCap: flexy: beside, you know who people will blame for crap picture. :) the content producer with their logo on the screen.
[20:35:14] flexy: AndyCap: true.
[20:35:27] flexy: but shit slides downwards
[20:35:35] AndyCap: hmm, I'm in the wrong line of business.
[20:36:39] flexy: customer complaints to the seller.
[20:36:52] flexy: seller complaints to importer
[20:36:55] flexy: etc
[20:37:27] justinh: customer complains to the seller. end of
[20:37:44] flexy: that is the way it goes. actually.
[20:37:47] AndyCap: flexy: cable provider only needs one or two good looking channels to remain blameless. the rest they can compress the heck out of and customer blames discovery instead of cable provider.
[20:37:59] flexy: when they get the monthly payment, they are satisfied
[20:38:22] AndyCap: no, no, channel X is fine, must be discovery that's crap.

[20:40:44] flexy: dustybin: I have actually no idea. But I would think that perhaps myth uses many threads?
[20:40:52] brad3: rdv: thanks bro, you are awesome!
[20:41:08] justinh: or maybe a higher spec DAC. Or some feet for the PSU & amplifier. Those vibrations cause jitter
[20:41:29] juju_: justinh: :) there's no problem with other players such as mplayer and xine
[20:41:37] dustybin: flexy: i havent a clue
[20:41:45] flexy: dustybin: neither do I :)
[20:42:05] justinh: juju_: they must have the special insulating feet :)
[20:42:29] juju_: justinh: too bad mythmusic miss it ;)
[20:42:45] AndyCap: justinh: or denonlink cable with clock to prevent jitter
[20:45:01] lotia_ is now known as lotia
[20:48:03] flexy: hmmm. Is it possible to screen capture directly from FE?
[20:48:22] justinh: there's a keybinding for it somewhere
[20:48:36] flexy: justinh: what format does it output?
[20:49:16] justinh: png IIRC
[20:50:15] flexy: right. I must find the keybinding... I'll try to get some material to make a useless complaint of the over exposed channels

[20:56:09] flexy: sphery: I'm using trunk
[20:56:22] sphery: (i.e. works by grabbing the frame from the video, not using the rendered video)
[20:56:35] sphery: then just map a key to the jump point and enjoy
[20:56:37] flexy: do you remember if it works with vdpau?

[21:17:31] sphery: which backend?
[21:17:44] sphery: the best way is to run mythtv-setup and change it in there
[21:18:13] sircolin: thank you I take it that's from the terminal ?
[21:18:33] sphery: if you didn't install mythtv-setup on a dedicated frontend-only system and you can't spare the 5MB of extra drive space required, you can do it with mythfrontend -p
[21:18:50] sphery: from the terminal should work
[21:19:02] sphery: though I can't guarantee your distro doesn't expect you to do it some other way
[21:19:24] sphery: sircolin: note, though, if you changed the hostname /and/ the IP address, you have a lot more stuff to fix up
[21:19:34] sphery: best bet is to never change hostnames
[21:19:35] sircolin: thanks I installed back and front on 1 box then a front end on another than my switch blow up lol
[21:20:26] sircolin: hostname remains just dhcp assigned a new ip

[21:25:35] flexy: I had once diskless FE. was it .18 or .19 at that time.
[21:26:11] flexy: It was a bitch to set to boot via net. When I got it to do so, it worked ok
[21:26:30] flexy: IIRC
[21:27:16] jduggan: pro is quiter, lower power, con is that its more work to optimise for speedy boot ups
[21:27:33] flexy: well, the biggest pro is the possibility to make it very small, but then again, being diskless does perhaps not make it so much smaller...

[21:31:33] mangus580: so in a FE box that I plan to put in the basement and run cords up through the floor... its probably not worth going diskless?
[21:32:12] jduggan: no
[21:32:17] jduggan: id say nope
[21:32:19] GreyFoxx: For a FE only machine I see no reason to not go diskless.
[21:32:38] Hiisty: stupid question, i have one program that i can see on mythweb "upcoming" -page. it has status "still recording" that is failed and i would like to remove that entry, i can't remove it from mythweb, so my question is in which table that entry is stored
[21:32:44] mangus580: if I use disk... whats the OS of choice?
[21:32:49] Hiisty: it isn't in "recorded"
[21:32:57] GreyFoxx: mangus580: Go with whatever distro you are most familiar with
[21:33:06] GreyFoxx: it wil lsave you headache
[21:33:28] mangus580: kinda what I was figuring GreyFoxx
[21:34:23] GreyFoxx: Otherwise you end up just getting recommendations of what the other person likes and you get stu cking learning their distro :)
[21:35:09] mangus580: agreed
[21:35:30] mangus580: well, the server uses fedora 10
[21:35:35] mangus580: so I should probably use that
[21:35:42] mangus580: is it possible to make it boot right to the FE?
[21:36:15] flexy: yes

[22:55:46] kormoc: Mister: why would they point you here?
[22:55:46] Dagmar: We're not googling for you
[22:55:47] sphery: jduggan: do like I do and record every new series each season, but watch shows from last season. That way, anything that's cancelled within the first season you can just delete so you don't waste your time.
[22:55:50] justinh: wrong answer. ubuntu folks know how best to update ubuntu
[22:56:07] Mister: ok ;) pherhaps he think i mean mythtv and not mythbuntu ;)
[22:56:09] kormoc: I'd say to fdisk /dev/sda and install a real distro, but that's just me ;)
[22:56:10] justinh: sphery: new series don't get marked properly with our native xmltv
[22:56:26] Mister: i search for it but i dont foudn an official mirror....
[22:56:28] sphery: justinh: can use the new title search to find new series
[22:56:34] justinh: jduggan: best thing I've ever seen on Five
[22:56:34] Dagmar: Mister: Looks like you're out of luck then
[22:56:46] sphery: justinh: shows you any title that hasn't been seen in >11mos
[22:56:59] justinh: sphery: hmm. trouble is it'll find all kinds of junk
[22:57:04] sphery: er, I mean, hasn't been seen /for/ 11mos
[22:57:24] Mister: :(
[22:58:08] sphery: wait, isn't "all kinds of junk" just a description of the program listings in general, though?
[22:58:08] justinh: might have to figure out a custom rule. if (new) and duration > 40 minutes and channel = X Y OR Z NOT AA ...
[22:58:22] kormoc: Mister: well, really, it should be no surprise, if the folks who develop mythbuntu don't have sources, we're not the group to know/fix that...
[22:59:06] Dagmar: Just download the most recent MythBuntu ISO and be done with it
[22:59:07] kormoc: http://gizmodo.com/5358305/kymera-magic-wand- . . . ates-quickly
[22:59:17] Dagmar: If you're unwilling to do anything for yourself, that's as good as it's going to get.
[22:59:34] justinh: sphery: mythweb's new titles & premieres search doesn't pull much up
[23:00:00] kormoc: yeah, it's broken right now justinh
[23:00:33] sphery: justinh: never used the mythweb one, but I know how the frontend one works
[23:01:04] sphery: basically looks for any shows not listed in olprogram\
[23:01:07] justinh: don't think I've ever tried it in MFE. buried under all them menus
[23:01:30] justinh: keep meaning to sort them out sometime
[23:01:35] sphery: yeah, somewhere like Manage Recordings|Schedule Recordings|Searches|Title Search or something
[23:03:09] justinh: new titles :)
[23:03:57] kormoc: Mister: stop talking in #mythtv, and we told you, if there's no official sources for the upgrade, there's no sources for the upgrade. Download a new mythbuntu iso and use that
[23:04:39] Mister: the new version wont work with the old tv driver... i try it
[23:04:55] kormoc: So why are you attempting to update if you know it won't work?
[23:05:02] Mister: so this version work only for me, but okay, when teheres no official packedes
[23:05:55] justinh: woo handy search cheers sphery
[23:05:59] Mister: i have tryed it, i think the old grfaphic drivers wont work with the new version and my old graphiccard
[23:06:08] justinh: found some more goodies on BBC FOUR
[23:06:18] justinh: ahh ATI. Bless
[23:06:37] elmojo: iamlindoro: have you noticed focus issues when launching the Internal player from within MythVideo?

[23:06:50] justinh: sphery: heh.
[23:07:00] iamlindoro: elmojo, only when I the Qt bookmark popup pops up
[23:07:04] iamlindoro: er when the
[23:07:09] justinh: I still can't help thinking we need to get our heads together & come up with a recommendation system of some kind
[23:07:35] Mister: can i pherhaps use a 9.04 packed sources, i want to install wome packed, or will this dont work?
[23:07:36] justinh: never thought I'd buy into that way of thinking but here I am
[23:07:42] elmojo: elmojo: k – ah, so once it converted we should be fine?
[23:07:43] sphery: justinh: perhaps using NNTP?
[23:07:49] justinh: lol
[23:08:22] sircolin: "Kymera Magic Wand Universal Remote" looks like a sex toy to me lmao
[23:08:35] justinh: sphery: I dunno, just a general headsup kinda thing would do for the time being
[23:08:44] justinh: doesn't have to be autorecord
[23:09:10] sphery: So, I've been trying to start work on a patch for fixing an issue in a ticket, but I can't find that ticket, and I've spent about 2 1/2hrs looking/getting distracted by other tickets...
[23:09:59] Mister: or can i used the cd for sources?
[23:10:32] sphery: justinh: yeah, would be nice... Probably would only go into official Myth if it used services.mythtv.org, but we'd need to get code written for the services website to do that
[23:10:56] justinh: heck I'd even pay a small fee for it :)
[23:11:32] sphery: justinh: I don't know if thetvdb.com has some "If you like this, you might like that" type stuff, or if so, if it's available through the API. If so^2, then might be able to get it into a script.
[23:12:25] justinh: might be kinda coolish

[23:14:13] sphery: iamlindoro: Fixing user's bug reports 3 hours after they're submitted is setting a very bad precedent. It's also making the rest of us look really bad.
[23:14:26] iamlindoro: ha
[23:14:33] iamlindoro: OCD
[23:14:37] sphery: justinh: yeah, especially with the planned features for updating/submitting info to tmdb and thetvdb
[23:14:43] iamlindoro: can't stand to see a bunch of MythVideo bugs even if they aren't labeled as such

[23:19:53] ** mzb warps back into #mythtv-users **
[23:20:11] justinh: next thing we know there'll be regular news updates on the mythtv.org site keeping folks up to date with stuff
[23:20:54] iamlindoro: justinh, The only unfortunate issue with that is that people get the sense that discourteous whining is rewarded
[23:20:55] justinh: by that point I hope to be back in my own universe where mythtv is by developers for developers :P
[23:21:07] mzb: stuff like a release schedule? ;)
[23:21:18] justinh: iamlindoro: essentially that's what I'm saying :)
[23:21:46] Mister: bye
[23:21:51] Mister (Mister!n=user@f054133084.adsl.alicedsl.de) has quit ("bye")
[23:22:14] iamlindoro: I 'm glad we now have it, and myth is soooo much better off for it, but I hope those folk don't think that their protests made it happen... even though I know they do
[23:22:25] sphery: wonder if Mister ever made it to #ubuntumythtv or #mythbuntu...
[23:22:43] iamlindoro: All of that hard work followed by a thread not two hours ago bitching about the UI speed, btw, having nothing to do with fanart/etc.
[23:22:50] iamlindoro: To which I respond
[23:23:07] iamlindoro: STFU, you stupid sacks of crap
[23:23:10] meshe_: he was in #ubuntu-mythtv
[23:23:13] sphery: iamlindoro: yeah, all due to broken video driver installations
[23:23:22] sphery: meshe_: ah, good... maybe they can help him
[23:23:34] justinh: he said they sent him here
[23:23:37] sphery: best bet is probably, backup DB, install current MythBuntu, restore DB, enjoy
[23:23:38] iamlindoro: and whoooooopps it was user setup
[23:23:52] meshe_: nah, noone answered and he left there too
[23:23:53] iamlindoro: good thing he didn't write a bitchy e-mail to the list in haste... oh wait
[23:23:58] justinh: iamlindoro: you know what I said. my wireless sucks in linux ;)
[23:24:03] mzb: oh, so the multi-threading was developed as a result of the bigger/better gui ? (and single threading not loading fast enough) ???
[23:24:06] sphery: what? "Thanks that was the answer. I'm using the nvidia 185 drivers but I was using the QT painter. Once I switched to the openGL painter screen changes are fast. "
[23:24:14] sphery: How could Qt painter be slow
[23:24:23] Spida: anybody seen complete system-freezes with lirc and the igorplugusb driver?
[23:24:25] justinh: mzb: point being there were less images to load so it wasn't as noticable

[23:24:33] sphery: maybe if--as he claims--he's using a QuickTime painter, it could be slow, but Qt painter shouldn't be slow
[23:24:47] sphery: it isn't for me--even over X forwarding
[23:25:07] justinh: qt painter is marginally slower than gl but not in terms where you'd notice in normal use
[23:25:25] justinh: like holding an arrow down & seeing how much of a blur it all is ;)
[23:25:26] sphery: mzb: multi-threaded image loaded was developed as a result of "always part of the plan"
[23:26:26] sphery: justinh: yeah, to me, the difference in blurring is hard to see...
[23:27:09] iamlindoro: blue-abstract-wide proves that there's no widget that can't be built out ot the Graphite button graphic :)
[23:27:20] iamlindoro: It's a textedit! It's a button! It's a progress bar!
[23:27:35] iamlindoro: (It's all the same copy of Graphite's button!)
[23:27:35] justinh: is that how he got it down to a 2k tarball?
[23:27:50] sphery: iamlindoro: that's why they use Graphite in pencils--so you can draw /any/ kind of widget
[23:28:05] iamlindoro: here it is as a progress bar: http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Image:Blue-abstract_music-player.png
[23:28:07] justinh: ROFLMAO
[23:28:11] iamlindoro: as a button and as a buttonlist: http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Image:Blue-abstrac . . . e-editor.png
[23:28:47] iamlindoro: Don't have a screenshot, but it's the textedit too :)
[23:28:54] justinh: whuh? what size is the source image?

[23:29:04] iamlindoro: 250x50 or so
[23:29:12] justinh: ah
[23:29:15] iamlindoro: and the wide version may be 350x50
[23:29:27] justinh: stretching images is bad though
[23:29:31] justinh: IMHO
[23:29:39] iamlindoro: apparently creating them oneself is much, much worse :)
[23:29:45] sphery: iamlindoro: you've gotta get him started playing with Inkscape
[23:29:50] justinh: esp ones with rounded corners, but he gets away with it cos the radius is so small
[23:30:24] iamlindoro: Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery-- I might be more irked if I wasn't already on to the next greatest thing
[23:30:30] iamlindoro: as it is, more power to him
[23:30:57] justinh: nobody bothered to rip off any of my themes :(
[23:31:20] matey (matey!n=mat@e181224189.adsl.alicedsl.de) has quit ()
[23:31:24] iamlindoro: BS

[23:31:37] justinh: I'm a c***
[23:31:39] iamlindoro: blue-a-w is a half-copy of blootube
[23:31:45] iamlindoro: and he admits it in the themeinfo
[23:31:55] iamlindoro: pearody was also a copy of one of your themes
[23:32:05] iamlindoro: and some other one someone did was a copy that violated the license IIRC
[23:32:10] justinh: was it? I thought it was ripped off mythcenter
[23:32:15] iamlindoro: some ripoff of Glass
[23:32:33] ** iamlindoro can hunt down the mythtvtalk thread if needed :) **
[23:32:49] justinh: complete blank on that for some reason
[23:33:51] justinh: heh. searched on license violation & found the pearody thread
[23:35:26] sphery: so, iamlindoro keeps updating Graphite, so I have to imagine that all the people who are using Graphite to make their themes have to keep starting over...
[23:35:37] Dagmar: We can make it worse for them
[23:35:38] justinh: good god how did I forget about that?!
[23:35:44] iamlindoro: haha, naw, they're well beyond Graphite now
[23:35:48] Dagmar: There's plenty of ways to use Perl to make XML into human-unreadable
[23:36:22] justinh: http://www.mythtvtalk.com/forum/general/6697- . . . ml#post27390 – and I wasn't a total c***. Excellent
[23:36:46] iamlindoro: IIRC, I was ;)
[23:37:00] justinh: nah
[23:37:20] iamlindoro: No, apparently I was nice too
[23:37:31] justinh: the abortion I alluded to which borrowed graphics & used them badly was xface
[23:38:23] iamlindoro: Ah, well that one had some funny stuff like the backwards video camera, but I thought it looked like it had promise
[23:38:44] iamlindoro: I still like Arclight better, but... ;)
[23:40:06] justinh: one day more people will be on board with the whole 'it's on the internet so it's free' thing being *wrong*
[23:40:56] justinh: hey does anykey_ know about the buttonlist patch?

[23:41:26] mzb: what aspect ration is that theme?
[23:41:31] mzb: (Blue Abstract)
[23:41:36] justinh: 16:9 of course
[23:41:38] iamlindoro: 16:9
[23:41:42] iamlindoro: like ALL themes :)

[23:42:27] iamlindoro: MOAR PILLARBOXZ
[23:42:42] justinh: ruh?
[23:43:18] mzb: my head probably hasn't popped back into shape yet ;) ... I'm sure it'll look 16:9 after my 2nd coffee
[23:44:15] sphery: very-wide for the cinema-aspect TV's (like the Philips 2.33:1 (21:9) "Ultra widescreen" – http://www.cinema.philips.com/ )
[23:44:18] justinh: somebody will have to issue a patch for 2.35:1 (or whatever) displays I'm sure
[23:44:31] iamlindoro: no patch needed AFAIK :)
[23:44:40] sphery: just new themes?
[23:44:45] iamlindoro: indeed
[23:44:56] justinh: and OSD themes? ;)
[23:45:02] sphery: so, are there any 4:3 mythui themes (other than default)?
[23:45:17] sphery: which isn't really mythui so much as just "better than nothing"
[23:45:19] justinh: nope
[23:45:25] sphery: heh funny
[23:45:32] kurre__ (kurre__!n=tomimo@xdsl-83-150-88-111.nebulazone.fi) has quit (Read error: 60 (Operation timed out))
[23:46:12] sphery: so, I presume that may mean that all the artistically-talented Myth users have already upgraded to widescreen TV's to appreciate the artistic aspects of good picture quality
[23:46:18] justinh: even OLPC machines are widescreen innit
[23:46:24] iamlindoro: 4:3 theme for myth read like a list of AAA Games on Linux
[23:46:36] sphery: AAA?
[23:46:50] sphery: oh, triple-A
[23:46:51] sphery: got it
[23:46:55] sphery: like the best
[23:47:04] iamlindoro: yes
[23:47:28] justinh: tuxracer?! No love for it?
[23:47:44] justinh: you must hate freedom
[23:47:49] sphery: There's breakout and <quietly>GIMP</quietly>
[23:48:37] sphery: http://roosterteeth.com/archive/episode.php?id=118
[23:49:20] iamlindoro: tuxracer is the GANT of Linux games
[23:49:35] iamlindoro: You can get Doom 3, that's like MythCenter
[23:49:47] sphery: What's the Graphite equivalent?
[23:49:51] iamlindoro: grep
[23:49:56] sphery: nice
[23:49:56] iamlindoro: grep-phite
[23:49:59] sphery: I like grep
[23:50:15] sphery: it and find tend to be my favorites

[23:52:41] mzb: wagnerrp, I've got that pre/post playback working beautifully ... not sure if it's elegant though (and I've not done anything for "pause")
[23:52:44] justinh: grounds for divorce in this house
[23:53:00] iamlindoro: justinh, Just let her know that as of next week, Meepie is DEAD
[23:53:06] iamlindoro: sphery, still not ticket
[23:53:09] iamlindoro: er no
[23:53:22] justinh: iamlindoro: I'll doctor the graphics
[23:53:22] wagnerrp: jya: whenever you get back, you put together a handful of functions for MythVideo.py
[23:53:47] wagnerrp: im doing a complete rewrite of that module to try to get into 0.22
[23:54:19] sphery: iamlindoro: yeah, trac is really making my finding this one ticket really hard
[23:54:20] wagnerrp: i rewrote the old commands to use the new ones for backwards compatibility
[23:55:14] wagnerrp: but if you use those a lot, would you might checking to see if it breaks anything with your stuff before i put it on trac?
[23:55:20] iamlindoro: sphery, Well, he used google and his brain, how could he go wrong?
