Oh, and instead of the scheduled programming it seems they're sending an Assassins Creed Infomercial on heavy rotation

does mythtv support youtube content?

[00:22:03]

wagnerrp:

not quite yet

[00:22:09]

wait until march

should be included in 0.23, yes

[00:24:13]

Michielb:

are there any internal hdpvr options?

[00:25:15]

wagnerrp:

meaning?

[00:25:47]

wagnerrp:

myth has control over the bitrate it outputs, if thats what youre asking

[00:25:55]

Michielb:

instead of the usb one, is the on that runs on pci/pci express?

[00:25:56]

wagnerrp:

i dont know what control you would want besides that

[00:26:06]

wagnerrp:

nope, just the one USB model

[00:26:24]

Michielb:

thats a bit yuck but ok

[00:26:26]

wagnerrp:

but thats not so much an issue, considering you already need an external STB to go along with it

[00:27:04]

Michielb:

the STB is the receiver right?

[00:36:36]

Michielb:

would it be considered a bad idea to run the frontend and back end off the same machine?

[00:36:49]

wagnerrp:

not at all, thats what most people do

[00:37:29]

wagnerrp:

but generally having all the hard drives, tuners, and STBs off in some closet or basement makes it easier to make a small, quiet frontend

[00:37:48]

Michielb:

how do you do it?

[00:37:55]

wagnerrp:

the alternative is to house everything in a closet behind or on another floor from the tv

[00:37:59]

wagnerrp:

and run a long video cable to the tv

[00:38:03]

Michielb:

ie, what setup do you run?

[00:38:19]

wagnerrp:

ive got a file server in the basement

[00:38:36]

wagnerrp:

a slave BE/FE in the basement underneath one of my TVs

[00:38:49]

wagnerrp:

and a FE-only hidden behind a big tv cabinet

[00:38:49]

Michielb:

how many pvrs?

[00:38:58]

wagnerrp:

two analog, three digital tuners

[00:40:25]

Michielb:

another thing i saw is that the hdpvr only supports component in, and not pure hdmi, what type of quality loss are we looking at?

[00:40:50]

wagnerrp:

depends entirely on the quality of the output of your STB

[00:40:59]

wagnerrp:

but generally ive heard its not noticeable

[00:41:30]

Michielb:

what which company do you get your service from?

[00:41:39]

wagnerrp:

local cableco

[00:43:01]

Michielb:

in your opinion what who would be best, ive seen directv and they arent bad(there interface stinks) but mythtv would get around that

[00:43:47]

Michielb:

their*

[00:44:34]

wagnerrp:

ive only used cable, and analog at that

[00:44:38]

wagnerrp:

so i have no opinion

[00:45:12]

Michielb:

do you have an idea of who is eaper?

[00:45:33]

Michielb:

cheaper

[00:45:52]

wagnerrp:

satellite claims to be cheaper in ads, if they are to be believed

[00:46:58]

Michielb:

and as far as channel content goes?

[00:47:29]

wagnerrp:

no idea

[00:50:03]

Michielb:

IR blasters...(i dont like the idea much)

[00:51:41]

wagnerrp:

you can try to get a STB that has a serial input

[00:52:12]

wagnerrp:

of course youre hard pressed to even find motherboards that have serial these days

the last two boards ive purchased dont even have RS232 headers

[00:55:07]

AndyCap:

USB-Serial should do find though if your're doing commands over it.

[00:55:11]

AndyCap:

fine..

[00:55:24]

wagnerrp:

yeah, just make sure to find one with a linux supported chipset

[00:55:34]

AndyCap:

wagnerrp: hah, find one which isn't

[00:55:37]

AndyCap:

:P

[00:55:59]

AndyCap:

that said, all the cheap stuff has pl2303's in them.

[00:55:59]

wagnerrp:

i was under the impression most actually werent

[00:56:37]

wagnerrp:

yeah, i ended up buying a half dozen last time i saw some site selling something i was sure was pl2303s

[00:56:56]

AndyCap:

the next step up ftdi also works fine, but I don't think you'll find that many no-name cables with them.

[00:57:42]

AndyCap:

the dealextreme ones I got were pl2303.

[00:58:23]

wagnerrp:

yeah, i may have gotten them from the same deal

[00:58:31]

wagnerrp:

translucent green ones, for like $6

[00:58:40]

AndyCap:

wagnerrp: plug only, no cable?

[00:58:59]

wagnerrp:

plug, and a 6" USB extension

[00:59:36]

Michielb:

ok what equipment would you need for ir blaster

[00:59:59]

wagnerrp:

that looks like them

[01:03:09]

fauxalliance:

hello

[01:03:51]

Michielb:

damn that hdpvr is expensive

[01:04:10]

wagnerrp:

the price you pay to retain control over your content

[01:04:22]

wagnerrp:

the alternative is windows MCE with a cablecard tuner

[01:04:41]

wagnerrp:

in which case the recordings remain encrypted all the way up to your screen

[01:04:44]

AndyCap:

until they close the a-hole.

[01:04:59]

Michielb:

windows annoys the shit out of me

[01:05:00]

wagnerrp:

and can be deleted, or prevented from being decrypted at any time by your cableco

[01:06:21]

Michielb:

any serving proxies, ftps from a windows box is something i dont want to do

[01:06:48]

wagnerrp:

and still wont do you a bit of good considering its encrypted on the hard drive

[01:06:56]

AndyCap:

Hmm, hello Tv-b-gone http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.14061

[01:07:00]

wagnerrp:

it has to pass back through the cablecard tuner at time of playback

[01:07:40]

Michielb:

this would probably be the best time to tell you im a comp sci student

[01:08:14]

wagnerrp:

i imagine there are a lot of those around here

[01:08:56]

Michielb:

i bet

[R]:

ablyss: nothing to do with myth

[02:13:25]

hi

[02:50:20]

i was wondering if i could get some help getting a 0.22 front to connect to a 0.21 backend and not complain about the database schema

[02:51:24]

ablyss:

i was wondering what resolution "HD" stood for in the mythfrontend media library section, ( when you have a HD video highlighted )

[02:51:55]

[R]:

Mikey: you can't

[02:51:58]

ablyss:

sometimes it will display 720, sometimes 1080i but HD ?

[02:52:26]

[R]:

ablyss: "HD" is anything 720 or higher

[02:52:26]

Mikey:

darn

[02:53:36]

Mikey:

thanks [R], that sucks, i'll try and downgrade the front end

[02:53:44]

ablyss:

[R]: ok. Is there a easy way to tell if it's progressive or interlaced ?

[02:54:40]

[R]:

ablyss: if you are playing it... and you goto the menu, and select the video scan option

[02:54:45]

[R]:

the detect option will sy either P or I

[02:55:33]

ablyss:

oh cool, thanks [R]

[02:56:28]

i just found out there's no such thing as 720i .... only 720p

well i would if i had the money so i have to use what i have

[03:35:55]

v4l does not connect but v4l-2 does work

[03:36:17]

[R]:

Michielb: however many tuners you have plus however many multirecs you can support

[03:36:30]

Michielb:

all at the same time?

[03:36:43]

[R]:

Michielb: well what would be the point of having more than one tuner?

[03:37:39]

Michielb:

is there an upper bound

[03:37:59]

[R]:

theoeretically no

[03:38:02]

[R]:

depends on your hardware

[03:38:08]

Michielb:

thnks

[03:38:11]

[R]:

but if you are using hdpvrs

[03:38:13]

Michielb:

i get that

[03:38:16]

[R]:

then you'll be limited by usb bandwidth

[03:38:25]

sphery:

and is likely in the <10 range with anything but purpose-designed hardware

[03:39:00]

Michielb:

so 3 hdpvr would still be sane?

[03:39:24]

Michielb:

how would the IR blasting work if you have that many though?

[03:39:28]

MythbuntuGuest67: my guess is you set up your capture card as a MPEG encoder card--you need to use the V4L card/analog framegrabber type

[03:39:49]

sphery:

MythbuntuGuest67: then you need to have plenty of CPU to do all the encoding because the card is doing nothing for you

[03:40:02]

well it s got a triple core

[03:40:04]

and i have set the card to v4l

specifically, 'high definition' audio refers to EAC3, DTS-HD, and other formats newly found on bluray and hddvd

[04:09:34]

defaultro:

wagnerrp, speaking of bluray, I just got Dave Matthews and Tim Reynolds, Live At Radio City. What an awesome sound! :)

[04:09:48]

wagnerrp:

well, thats a matter of opinion

[04:09:49]

sphery:

and high-definition audio is far less grainy looking than standard definition audio, so it gives the picture /much/ more definition

[04:10:15]

wagnerrp:

would that be the acoustic picture?

[04:10:24]

sphery:

(wouldn't "high-compression audio" have been a better name for it?)

wagnerrp, was that question directed for me?

[04:12:01]

oh ok

[04:12:12]

wagnerrp:

oh, sphery's comment about HD audio giving more picture definition

[04:13:07]

sphery:

I have a serious dislike of things that are not high-definition being called high-definition

[04:13:27]

wagnerrp:

well it *can* be high definition

[04:13:29]

sphery:

basically, the HD audio formats are designed to increase quality at a given bitrate compared to legacy audio formats

[04:13:38]

sphery:

so can low-definition ones

[04:13:40]

wagnerrp:

i think they support up to 24-bit, 96khz

durdenn:

hi all, kinda OT question, but maybe someone can help. i got a radeon x300 connected to a LG 50PC3D tv (720p w/ 1366x768 native).. problem is, connecting PC via HDMI or VGA, res maxes out at 1024x768.. connecting my xbox 360 etc, i get the 720p or 1080i res

[04:20:04]

durdenn:

is there a way to have my PC output a higher res? some of my recordings dont look as good as they do when i output via xbox 360

[04:20:32]

pat_:

no, there is not possible way. give up now

[04:20:39]

wagnerrp:

thats more of a distro issue

[04:20:46]

wagnerrp:

you have the proper ATI drivers loaded?

[04:21:25]

durdenn:

im using ubuntu as my linux distro

[04:22:01]

durdenn:

figured it would be more of a question to ask in #ubuntu or #windows etc but hoped someone here had a similar experience and was able to fix it

[04:22:18]

wagnerrp:

people in here avoid ATI like the plague

[04:22:38]

sphery:

wagnerrp: Yeah, you can use different representations, but EAC-3 or DTS-HD at lower sampling rates and lower bits per sample is still considered "high definition". It's akin to calling 480i digital TV "high definition" because you're broadcasting it in an ATSC format rather than NTSC (which, incidentally, you can't do--they actually limit the use of HDTV to refer to 720p or above in the US).

[04:23:03]

sphery:

they should do the same with the "HD" audio formats

[04:23:09]

sphery:

and HD radio and ...

[04:23:13]

wagnerrp:

what about the 480i upscaled to 1080i

[04:23:16]

wagnerrp:

i love that!

[04:23:27]

sphery:

yeah... that's a good point

[04:23:44]

sphery:

I don't know that they have a rule to cover that one (though they should)

[04:25:56]

wagnerrp:

fancy, 'hd radio' uses a proprietary format

[04:26:06]

wagnerrp:

HDC, whatever the hell that is

[04:27:13]

sphery:

Of course--like we could use a standard that the rest of the world is using... After all, NIH rules the US.

[04:27:24]

sphery:

(and I don't mean the "National Institutes of Health")

[04:28:15]

wagnerrp:

theyre pushing to provide encrypted subscription services over HD radio

[04:28:34]

considering theres no such thing in TV, i doubt (hope) the fcc wont allow it on radio either

[04:28:54]

i suppose I can just change the hard coded in setting for host to check but it's first suppose to read a conf file.

[04:35:31]

wagnerrp:

arguably such a program is broken

[04:35:43]

wagnerrp:

as it should fine the backend through the perl bindings

[04:36:10]

sphery:

last I looked, it used the perl bindings for some stuff and used the xml status page for other

[04:36:16]

sphery:

and possibly direct DB access for other

[04:36:23]

sphery:

I completely agree it's broken

[04:36:33]

I'd love for someone to rewrite it to use the Python bindings

[04:36:46]

sphery:

(which would also likely be a wonderful thing for *buntu--who distribute the script)

[04:36:53]

wagnerrp:

i see no 'use MythTV::Whatever' in the script

[04:37:01]

and, when rewriting it to use the Python bindings, do it properly

wagnerrp:

sphery: pushing support over on me eh?

[04:37:12]

sphery:

heh, not necessarily you

[04:37:32]

but since you did all the hard work to make the Python bindings orders of magnitude better than the perl bindings...

[04:37:38]

mazda01:

after hard coding in host IP, now works.

[04:37:43]

sphery:

someone should go to the trouble of taking advantage of your hard work

[04:37:57]

wagnerrp:

nah, the current bindings are crap

[04:38:09]

wagnerrp:

all the old bindings plus a bunch of backend functions

[04:38:15]

sphery:

yeah, we have to get your updated one in there

[04:38:21]

wagnerrp:

i should start pushing to get the new ones committed

[04:38:27]

sphery:

but at least the curernt ones are a basis for scripts

[04:38:35]

wagnerrp:

yeah, theres the problem

[04:39:09]

maybe send an email to the list, try to find any and all current uses of the bindings

it says its flagging at 58 fps

[07:45:34]

[R]:

is that slow?

[07:45:52]

wagnerrp:

720p or 1080i? what codec? what bitrate? what processor?

[07:46:10]

[R]:

its h264 max bitrate from the hdpvr

[07:46:16]

[R]:

i dont knwo if its 720 or 1080

[07:46:24]

wagnerrp:

thats damned impressive either way

something is wrong

mkrufky was last seen 39 days 7 hours 16 minutes 40 seconds ago

[08:03:06]

[R]:

i had these grand plans to build a circuit with a PIC microcontroller that would turn on my frontend

[08:03:13]

[R]:

and i never finished writing the code

[08:03:32]

wagnerrp:

interfaced to what?

[08:03:50]

wagnerrp:

ethernet? ir? x10?

[08:04:26]

wagnerrp:

depending on your board, you can likely just pick up the proper remote control to do so

[08:04:36]

[R]:

the plan was to have an ir sensor that would goto the pic, then when the pic detectged the power button, it would toggle the power switch

[08:04:47]

wagnerrp:

ive got my spare frontend booting off my IR remote

[08:04:52]

[R]:

well i have a crappy usb ir sensor plugged into my ionitx

[08:05:09]

wagnerrp:

well ive got a usb sensor too

[08:05:10]

[R]:

but it doesnt have a key that does the wake up key

[08:05:25]

wagnerrp:

although ive heard the older zotac boards dont have WO-USB

[08:05:33]

[R]:

the "power" button on this sends like ctrl f5 or something stupid like that

[08:05:37]

wagnerrp:

theyre lacking 5VSB support

[08:05:48]

[R]:

well my usb sensor lights up when its "off"

[08:05:52]

[R]:

so i think thats agood sign

[08:06:07]

[R]:

but doing it with a PIC microcontroller is more fun anyway

this thing i'm reading says wake on usb only works in S3?

[08:17:23]

wagnerrp:

depends entirely on your motherboard

[08:17:55]

wagnerrp:

why are these machine not running...

looks like the ion doesnt doo wake from s5

[08:18:08]

s/running/rebooting/

[08:18:17]

[R]:

i need to try s3 then, and see if wake on usb "just works"

[08:18:42]

wagnerrp:

no real reason to shutdown if S3 is an option

[08:18:55]

wagnerrp:

i mean youre talking the difference in a couple dollars of power a year

[08:19:17]

[R]:

well i'm doing nfs root

[08:19:22]

i dunno if that'll work with s3

so

[08:19:39]

nfs will happily log back in when it comes out of standby

oobe:

binary even

[12:51:14]

Nidhoegger:

ive made one ^^ i am not able to write a script

[12:51:20]

Nidhoegger:

the only scriptlanguages i know are PHP and MSL

[12:51:49]

oobe:

i think i saw you talking earlier you made it for german language?

[12:51:55]

Nidhoegger:

yupp

[12:52:01]

oobe:

that was fast

[12:52:07]

Nidhoegger:

6h or work

[12:52:13]

Nidhoegger:

i think thats pretty slow o_O

[12:52:21]

oobe:

seems fast to me

[12:52:45]

oobe:

to have an idea then create it but i dont have any skills

[12:53:12]

Nidhoegger:

its pretty, ehm, fast written bad sourcecode :D

[12:53:14]

Nidhoegger:

but it works

[12:53:29]

Nidhoegger:

you could make it more performant and the parsing could be a bit better

[12:53:37]

Nidhoegger:

but it recognizes errors, finds all data i want

[12:53:40]

Nidhoegger:

so im happy with it

[12:54:09]

oobe:

ppl could modify you code to make it grab in different languages

[12:54:31]

Nidhoegger:

ofbd just offers german language

[12:54:38]

oobe:

i think some grabber scripts already have an option to parse specific languages

[12:54:43]

Nidhoegger:

i know

[12:54:54]

oobe:

what site does it grab from

[12:54:56]

Nidhoegger:

i am thinking about making it grab from different pages for different languages

[12:54:58]

Nidhoegger:

ofdb.de

[12:55:08]

Nidhoegger:

and what im implementing atm is an intelligent search

[12:55:14]

oobe:

oh ok

[12:55:27]

Nidhoegger:

it removes some words, if there is no result it tries partial words of the search query and so on

[12:55:53]

Nidhoegger:

because i for example have it with Star Trek IV Der Aufstand, if you query it like that, no result, if you remove the IV you get the result

[12:56:05]

oobe:

i see why you cant make it use other languages

[12:56:06]

oobe:

http://www.ofdb.de/film/65742,Dr-House

[12:57:25]

Nidhoegger:

like i said, as soon as everything works as i want, i am planning to add more sites, so it will be a multipage grabber

[12:57:46]

oobe:

nice

[12:57:55]

oobe:

are there many german people who use mythtv

[12:58:53]

Nidhoegger:

i dont know

Dibblah:

... What's wrong with Jamu?

[12:59:02]

Nidhoegger:

dont know

[12:59:56]

oobe:

he wants german metadata from a german site

[13:00:15]

Nidhoegger:

and i am not able to set jamu up correctly ^^ i think i messed up a lot

[13:00:29]

Nidhoegger:

its my first time mythtv and ive compiled it from sources to make everything on my own

[13:00:29]

oobe:

most sites like tvdb and tmdb dont all have complete metadata in non english languages

[13:00:49]

[13:02:41]

Nidhoegger:

[13:03:25]

oobe:

using 3rd party grabbers i find i have to restart mythfrontend before the metadata shows up

[13:04:28]

Nidhoegger:

no

[13:04:40]

Nidhoegger:

it just doesnt show up until grabber has quit

[13:04:43]

Nidhoegger:

after you select the move

[13:04:49]

Nidhoegger:

3 more commands are executed

[13:04:58]

Nidhoegger:

it takes its time

[13:05:31]

oobe:

oh ok

[13:05:34]

Nidhoegger:

http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/MythVideo_Grabber_Script_Format okay, that seems to be only for the trunk version, i have the 0.22, what result must -P give?

[13:06:42]

oobe:

poster

[13:08:41]

Nidhoegger:

yeah, but which format?

[13:10:17]

oobe:

im not sure what you mean

[13:10:44]

Nidhoegger:

got it

[13:10:47]

Nidhoegger:

just return URL

[13:11:06]

Nidhoegger:

the scripts need a specific returnformat, so mythtv understands the data that the script collected

[13:11:06]

oobe:

but you can for e.g test with perl /usr/share/mythtv/mythvideo/scripts/tmdb.pl

[13:11:22]

oobe:

yea

[13:13:15]

Nidhoegger:

good

[13:13:17]

Nidhoegger:

all works now ^^

[13:13:23]

Nidhoegger:

too bad ofdb.de has no API

[13:14:30]

Nidhoegger:

is there a command to delete ALL metadata?

[13:15:27]

oobe:

there is an option inside mythvideo with the I key

[13:15:46]

oobe:

scroll down to metadata then reset

[13:15:53]

Nidhoegger:

yeah

[13:15:59]

Nidhoegger:

but i need to do that with all files *gg*

[13:16:09]

oobe:

yeah i dont know how to do it bulk

[13:16:33]

oobe:

but if you have a lot of files in one folder you could move them out of the mythvideo path

Nidhoegger: If you want help setting up Jamu I will help although only TVDB support German language queries at the moment.

[13:19:15]

Nidhoegger:

can i set my own program in jamu?

[13:19:24]

Nidhoegger:

i see it working more perfomant than the other querys

[13:19:51]

oobe:

yes jamu is highly configurable

[13:20:06]

oobe:

yuo can tell it to use 3rd party grabbers

[13:20:17]

Nidhoegger:

that cool

[13:20:18]

oobe:

but RDV_Linux is the one to talk to about that

[13:20:27]

RDV_Linux:

Nidhoegger: There is a way to add your own script in Jamu (see in the jamu-example.conf secondary sources) BUT TMDB is always the first sources looked at.

[13:20:48]

Nidhoegger:

my problem with jamu is: i read the wiki article, but somehow in my gentoo install, i muss all the files talked about

[13:20:54]

Nidhoegger:

i have no example file and so on

[13:21:08]

Nidhoegger:

i just have a jamu.conf, which contains no data

[13:22:25]

RDV_Linux:

You copy jamu-example.conf to ~/.mythtv/jamu.conf

[13:22:43]

Nidhoegger:

i dont have one ;)

[13:22:52]

Nidhoegger:

locate jamu-example.conf gives me no results

[13:22:56]

RDV_Linux:

the example config file is in the same directory as jamu.py

[13:23:29]

Nidhoegger:

ahhhh okay, that explains things :D

[13:24:23]

RDV_Linux:

Run ,/jamu -v and ./jamu -MVf and pastebin the results and supply a link and I will see what we can do;)

[13:25:43]

Nidhoegger:

jamu -v: http://pastebin.ca/1277405

[13:26:05]

Nidhoegger:

ahh okay

[13:26:10]

Nidhoegger:

thats the problem i had with jamu

[13:26:27]

Nidhoegger:

[13:28:05]

haywire:

hello

[13:28:32]

Nidhoegger:

okay RDV_Linux forget it, the problem is i ran jamu as root, as user i have no probs

[13:28:35]

Nidhoegger:

ill pastebin, mom

[13:29:04]

haywire:

is there any reason why I can play recorded videos (AVIs) on my backend but they won't play on my frontend? I applied all of the codecs from the mythcontrol centre.

[13:29:26]

Nidhoegger:

http://pastebin.ca/1722408 -> and it says here is no valid address-to-host mapping for the host (buecksteuck03)

[13:29:43]

Nidhoegger:

somehow wgetpaste doesnt pipe that in the output

[13:29:46]

RDV_Linux:

Nidhoegger: looking now

[13:31:19]

haywire:

btw, I can play the videos manually via VLC

[13:33:45]

RDV_Linux:

Nidhoegger: You only pasted part of the ./jamu -MVf output and that part at least to me looked ok. Are you running a separate front end (on a physically different pc)?

[13:35:44]

justinh:

haywire: external codecs have no relevance in mythtv

[13:35:47]

Nidhoegger:

same PC

[13:36:09]

Nidhoegger:

ive done ./jamu.py -MVf | wgetpaste -s ca

[13:36:14]

Nidhoegger:

that pastes all except errors

[13:36:38]

haywire:

justinh: thanks. Just wondering why VLC can play the videos on the frontend PC and the frontend software cannot.

[13:36:46]

Nidhoegger:

i said it has the error that no valid address to host mapping exists and so it cant execute the -MJ parameters

[13:37:04]

Nidhoegger:

it says they cannot be uses until the mapping is correct

[13:37:44]

RDV_Linux:

Nidhoegger: Then it is likely that the MythTV Internal player has issues with your video files. justinh is correct. But the internal player plays almost any type of video file.

[13:38:07]

justinh:

haywire: are you using storage groups?

[13:38:07]

Nidhoegger:

video files are played without problems?!

[13:38:21]

justinh:

this is probably a file access problem

[13:38:39]

Nidhoegger:

the problem is with my files, ive cutted the ads with avidemux, these are hardcuts, so first sec of the avi is corrupted

[13:38:55]

Nidhoegger:

but players play them anyway

[13:39:12]

Nidhoegger:

has someone a program that can fix that?

[13:39:14]

justinh:

if you're sharing a directory over the network & treating the files as 'local' then you have to make the base path the same on all myth machines. So if you export /myth/videos from the backend, mount it to /myth/videos on all frontends

[13:39:16]

haywire:

justinh: no storage groups. All the vids are strored on the backend and mounted in the same directory on the frontend. VLC has no problem playing them on the frontend.

[13:39:39]

haywire:

yes, it is in the same directory (/var/lib/mythtv/videos)

[13:39:40]

Nidhoegger:

justinh, i have the backend and frontend on the same pc

[13:39:46]

Nidhoegger:

i dont use network connections

[13:40:08]

RDV_Linux:

Nidhoegger: When you pastebin me the output from Jamu do not filter anything out it makes problem analysis more difficult.

[13:40:18]

Nidhoegger:

justinh: no, no error message, nothing

[13:43:30]

justinh:

haywire: also, is the frontend hostname entirely different to the backend's hostname?

[13:44:00]

haywire:

justinh: yes, they are different, but I use hardcoded IP addresses in the setup.

[13:44:00]

justinh:

haywire: you wouldn't see error messages pop up. errors are output to a log (optionally)

[13:44:00]

RDV_Linux:

Nidhoegger: The version you are using is slightly old v0.6.0 is the latest for 0.22+fixes although that is not likely causing your issues.

justinh: just checked the frontend log, no errors at all

[13:46:51]

RDV_Linux:

[13:54:17]

Nidhoegger:

ill first read now the commented example file to configure it properly :D

[13:55:52]

RDV_Linux:

Nidhoegger: Just to be clear, When you add your script as a secondary metadata source for movies it will ONLY be used if Jamu cannot find the movie on TMDB. I am not sure if you will get what you want from Jamu with regards to your script.

[13:56:50]

Nidhoegger:

i would more like it as primary source, becuase for many films the tmdb script finds metadata, but in english instead of german

[13:58:38]

RDV_Linux:

Nidhoegger: As TMDB and TVDB are the official sources for MythTV jamu always uses them as the primary sources.

Nidhoegger: Possible but you will be the one maintaining that code;)

[14:00:27]

Nidhoegger:

does jamu scrape/parse the official pages on its own or does it use external scripts?

[14:02:35]

RDV_Linux:

Nidhoegger: Jamu uses API's for TVDB and TMDB that are accessed within Jamu. Only secondary sources are external scripts. You could add a new config file variable that automatically uses the secondary source when the primary source routine is called. THat would be a simpler change.

[14:03:28]

RDV_Linux:

Nidhoegger: The variable method would be a lot easier to maintain between jamu releases.

[14:04:23]

Nidhoegger:

yes, you are right

[14:04:37]

Nidhoegger:

i think some people would be happy if jamu offered that feature

[14:06:13]

RDV_Linux:

Nidhoegger: Create a patch and submit it. That has already happened. The Jamu version in trunk supports parsing of directory names like MythVideo due to a user patch.

[14:06:48]

Nidhoegger:

i think i will, but first i need to lern a bit python, but i think it isnt that hard to make such a minor change

way more

like atleast 20

[15:31:18]

devinheitmueller:

Tecan: well, let's start by trying it with tvtime and see if the board works at all.

[15:52:26]

devinheitmueller:

And yes, you should expect latency. With all boards, the MythTV backend records the raw video, converts it to MPEG, and then the frontend reads the MPEG and displays it on the screen. You should expect several seconds of latency.

[15:52:55]

Tecan:

it works sweet in tvtime

OK, really, you'd want a rather recent dual-core CPU and should be able to do most anything you want--definitely anything that you could do with XvMC

you have to admit :p

[16:21:42]

sphery:

which is /not/ saying anything you can do with VDPAU

[16:21:53]

Dibblah:

Currently, there's some interaction between the deinterlacer and the ffmpeg decoder that makes mpeg4 decoding single-core only.

[16:22:06]

sid3windr: free cost is an added bonus, but not my primary concern

[16:22:11]

justinh:

you cannae really have open source paid for software though innit

[16:22:34]

sphery:

Dibblah: yeah, but XvMC is /far/ more limited than software decode and works on such a small range of video that it's not useful on a real CPU

[16:22:42]

justinh:

well you *could* but you'd be mad to pay :D

[16:23:20]

sphery:

justinh: no, you can, but once the first person paid, he could give it to anyone else.

[16:23:35]

sphery:

so you just have to charge an appropriate amount for that first copy

[16:24:01]

though $0 is the appropriate amount

another related option is to have a force sensor under furniture your likely to be on for long times (bed, couch), where the motion sensor wouldnt see you

For the last three years I have been running a HTPC with video/audio output to my 50" samsung plasma with no problems at all.

The video card is an nvidia 7300GS which has a passthrough for spdif audio. I have a pigtail adapter from the digital coax output on the back of the HTPC to 2 pin spdif connector on the video card. This has always worked fine but now with my new UN55B6000 I can not get audio via HDMI for the life of me!

It's driving me crazy and I don't want to have to use the mouse and toggle between default audio and spdif output all the time on my PC. If I have the audio via HDMI working I can leave it spdif all the time.

devinheitmueller:

iamlindoro: well, I do what I can. I am not a mythtv developer, but I can certainly relate.

[19:32:27]

iamlindoro:

devinheitmueller: The main communication breakdown seems to be the impression that Myth is a (nebulous term) "product"

[19:32:44]

that, coupled with a natrual sense of entitlement on some people's part

[19:32:48]

[19:32:57]

iamlindoro:

heh, exactly

[19:32:59]

clever:

Brad-D: the simplest thing to do is to change the master backend ip in mythtv-setup

[19:33:30]

clever:

Brad-D: the mysql server wont be moved, but a new box would take over being master, and if you keep running mythbackend on the old box, it will stream the recordings as needed

[19:33:49]

clever:

depends on what you want to do exactly though

[19:33:50]

iamlindoro:

devinheitmueller: Speaking only for myself, as a maybe-too-sensitive Myth dev, nothing takes the wind out of my sails like seeing the tidal wave of complaints from people who haven't lifted a finger

[19:33:57]

devinheitmueller:

It is tempting though to want to find some way to offer commercial support. But in reality, I think that amongst the people who complain, absolutely none of them would be willing to pay for it.

[19:34:31]

wagnerrp:

Brad-D: like clever said, the ONLY thing that denotes the master backend is which machine has the same IP as that listed for the master backend in the database

[19:34:33]

devinheitmueller:

iamlindoro: Yeah, I hear you. I see plenty of that myself. It can be quite discouraging.

[19:34:51]

iamlindoro:

devinheitmueller: Yep, entitlement culture...

[19:35:27]

iamlindoro:

devinheitmueller: And Maybe I am even less tolerant of the complaints because while I was a pretty technical person beforehand, I learned everything I know about writing code by opening up the myth code and doing it

[19:35:42]

iamlindoro:

ie, I learned by doing

[19:35:45]

wagnerrp:

i dont understand the original question

[19:35:58]

iamlindoro: well, that is how you learn. I got into the LinuxTV stuff because the tuner I bought didn't work.

.23 may end up being a very incremental release, but that's okay too I think

Hilikus:

i reinstalled my backend and now when i try to watch live tv i get this error

[20:32:35]

Hilikus:

2009-12–21 15:10:11.966 NVR(/dev/video0): Unknown video codec. Please go into the TV Settings, Recording Profiles and setup the four 'Software Encoders' profiles. Assuming RTjpeg for now.

[20:32:56]

Hilikus:

but i don't want to use software encoding in the first place

[20:33:11]

wagnerrp:

do you have a framegrabber?

[20:33:12]

Hilikus:

is this because my card was configured incorrectly? its a hauppauge 150

[20:33:22]

wagnerrp:

then its because its improperly configured

[20:33:33]

Hilikus:

ok

[20:33:33]

wagnerrp:

you need to set it as an mpeg encoder, rather than a v4l analog card

[20:33:39]

Hilikus:

oh ok

[20:34:37]

Hilikus:

it should be ivtv mpeg-2 encoder card i assume?

[20:34:44]

wagnerrp:

yes

[20:35:19]

Hilikus:

/dev/video0 video24 video32

[20:35:25]

wagnerrp:

0

[20:35:33]

wagnerrp:

if you look at dmesg as the driver loads

[20:35:35]

Hilikus:

ok. what's the difference just to know

[20:35:44]

wagnerrp:

you see that 24 and 32 are the framegrabber and VBI interface

[20:36:42]

iamlindoro:

thought one was raw audio

[20:36:43]

devinheitmueller:

video24 is PCM audio, and video32 is raw video.

[20:36:59]

devinheitmueller:

VBI is provided via /dev/vbi0

[20:37:11]

wagnerrp:

ah.. i stand corrected

[20:37:18]

wagnerrp:

regardless, you should likely never use either

[20:37:50]

devinheitmueller:

in MythTV, wagnerrp is almost certainly correct.

[20:38:06]

devinheitmueller:

Setup as an IVTV card, specifying /dev/video0 as the source.

[20:38:21]

wagnerrp:

tvtime, and similar programs can only work on framegrabbers, and are the exception

I'm pretty sure tvtime won't work with the PVR-150 raw analog, because the ivtv driver doesn't have mmap support.

[20:39:04]

devinheitmueller:

But yeah, in general those devices are designed for apps like tvtime.

[20:41:04]

Pardon, I meant to say "those device nodes", as in /dev/video24 and /dev/video32.

ive heard the encoder on the ivtv cards can cause color banding if not 720x480

You should pick 720x480, unless you are concerned about the size of the resulting recordings.

[20:50:58]

RDV_Linux:

flexy1: The options are the most important answer to analyze this problem

[20:51:18]

iamlindoro:

flexy1: Is this a show without subtitles?

[20:51:33]

If so, it's likely being interpreted as a movie

RDV_Linux: it found those shows that are not translated

iamlindoro:

right, ^^ thanks, better term

[20:52:23]

[20:55:09]

flexy1:

RDV_Linux: The problem is not with mythvideo, but with DVB recording of a show. So I don't understand the file name question. File name is the one that mythtv assigned to the show when it recorded it.

[20:55:10]

RDV_Linux:

flexy1: Run ./jamu -MWV and pastebin me ALL of the output

[20:56:01]

RDV_Linux:

flexy1: THe instruction I just wrote will help with the analysis of the issue.

[20:56:36]

flexy1:

RDV_Linux: OK, I'll do it.

[20:58:04]

RDV_Linux:

flexy1: In all likelihood the issue is that your EPG does not have subtitle (episode names) and jamu thinks that the TV show is a movie. So your "Pako:75340" entry is assumed to be a TMDB#

[20:58:10]

flexy1:

RDV_Linux: on another matter. I do have a bunch of home videos and such, wich do not have metadata. Is there a way to exclude a dir including such movies from jamu?

[20:59:24]

RDV_Linux:

flexy1: Change those videos reference number to "99999999" (eight nines) and jamu will ignore them.

[20:59:25]

flexy1:

RDV_Linux: that is very likely. The episode name and the episode description seems to be a one description

[21:00:12]

flexy1:

RDV_Linux: I noticed that. It's just little slow way to mark over 50 shows one by one.

[21:00:13]

iamlindoro:

Is there an echo in here?

[21:00:43]

flexy1:

it's included in bash, atleast. :)

[21:00:46]

RDV_Linux:

flexy1: Unfortunately the TVDB and TMDB number do overlap.

[21:01:54]

skd5aner:

flexy1: I had a lot of videos too, I wrote a SQL statement that looked for videos within a certain directory structure, and updated those records wiht the 99999999 entry

[21:02:05]

skd5aner:

s/videos/home videos

[21:02:15]

flexy1:

RDV_Linux: If the case is as you suspected, that my EPG does not have subtitle, is there a way to "go around" that problem by setting something in jamu.conf?

[21:02:52]

flexy1:

skd5aner: I thought of that, but I can't write SQL... Did not want to fuck up the database...

[21:03:24]

skd5aner:

flexy1: and I asked this same question 2 nights ago – no, not unless you manually enter sometihng for the subtitle -or- go and get the coverart yourself (in which case you can't use jamu -j or it'll delete it)

flexy: Correct although it takes several hours for the added shoes to appear on the internet. The only trick as I have been told is you do not need to add all the metadata if you do not mind English.

[21:35:04]

bllzz:

I can't control the volume or mute function from within myth using my MCE USB remote. Everything else works. When i try to adjust the volume or to mute the sound, I see the appropriate overlay show up in the frontend (i.e. the volume slider) but there is no corresponding change in sound. I tried changing between PCM and Master in the sound options, but that doesn't work. What can I try next?

or is it just a limitation in jamu.conf?

[21:45:39]

RDV_Linux:

it would have to create that file for every user on the system

MythbuntuGuest57:

you said echo w

[23:39:11]

clever:

h is the help command

[23:39:26]

clever:

w is the one you want for a list of blocked tasks

[23:39:47]

MythbuntuGuest57:

well it says it ain t there

[23:39:50]

MythbuntuGuest57:

0.0

[23:40:21]

clever:

sudo -i, and then just do a normal 'echo w > /proc/sysrq-trigger'

[23:40:44]

MythbuntuGuest57:

well was it supposed to be tee or tree

[23:40:51]

clever:

tee :P

[23:40:56]

MythbuntuGuest57:

AHA

[23:41:10]

clever:

tee has to be used to get arround how sudo breaks redirection

[23:41:24]

MythbuntuGuest57:

i see

[23:41:35]

MythbuntuGuest57:

well now i got a crapload of data

[23:41:43]

yep, throw it up on a pastebin

achandra_:

btw for those that have mythgame working...im having trouble getting it setup on mythbuntu 9.10 any ideas on a good guide for setup?

[23:43:47]

MythbuntuGuest57:

oh thnx for reminding me i forgot to get that installed

[23:44:25]

clever:

MythbuntuGuest57: 3 cpu cores??

[23:44:30]

MythbuntuGuest57:

yeah

[23:44:36]

clever:

thats an odd number

[23:44:44]

MythbuntuGuest57:

amd triple phenom

[23:45:14]

clever:

the output in dmesg is weird

[23:45:19]

clever:

it doesnt usualy look like that

[23:45:37]

clever:

maybe youve got a more recent kernel then i

MythbuntuGuest57:

hmm how do i check what kernel i got

[23:46:18]

clever:

uname -r

[23:46:35]

MythbuntuGuest57:

2.6.31-16-generic-pae

clever:

nearly identical:S

[23:47:06]

ross:

heh

[23:47:33]

ross:

it s just wierd that it just stops

[23:47:45]

ross:

if i try to remove the kernel module the whole shell hangs

[23:48:09]

clever:

yeah, ive had the same kind of problem with modules that crash

[23:48:28]

clever:

its still better then a bluescreen, atleast you can safe everything and shutdown properly

[23:48:35]

ross:

so who do we have to go visit and beat up to get that fixed

[23:48:43]

clever:

lirc dev's i'm thinking

[23:48:45]

awalls:

there should be a BUG or OOPS in the logs

[23:48:53]

ross:

what logfile

[23:48:59]

clever:

awalls: enless its a mutex problem

[23:49:13]

ross:

a muwhatnow?

[23:49:15]

awalls:

Well dmesg output of /var/log/message

[23:49:30]

clever:

ross: id load the drivers with the debug options on and get that dmesg output

[23:49:43]

clever:

almost nothing in the log right now

[23:49:45]

awalls:

Ah yes, a deadlock won't show anything.

[23:50:10]

ross:

yup looks clean

[23:50:15]

clever:

awalls: ive had lvm deadlock durring a pvmove, and then ANY process that touches the block-dev (or its fs) will also deadlock

[23:50:18]

awalls:

ross: Does dmesg show an oops?

[23:50:27]

clever:

awalls: http://mythtv.pastebin.ca/1723076

[23:50:32]

ross:

nope no oops

Good LORD

and no WTF#$$%@@@!!either

[23:50:52]

there goes that help:P

[23:51:04]

Dagmar:

I really don't know how Comcast manages to get anyone cable

[23:51:16]

Dagmar:

It just took me an hour to get a straight answer as to how the @#$@ one gets Syfy HD

[23:51:43]

ross:

well as a ex comcast employee i can tell you everything is f**ed up

[23:52:11]

clever:

i dont have a HD box yet, but i'm already getting some 'digital' channels on the bare cable

I'm attempting to set the modeline for my vizio tv and I get a blue screen. I'm getting moeline for valid mode through the verbose X log...

[23:52:23]

clever:

its only 480i, but its digital

[23:53:01]

ross:

yeah comcast modulates their signal 6khz below the actual channel so it looks encrypted

[23:53:22]

Dagmar:

Beg pardon?

[23:53:27]

ross:

on my 1250 hvr i get just about 80 digital channels

[23:54:02]

Dagmar:

yeah, that's just their vendy-machine channels mainly tho around here

[23:54:16]

awalls:

-6 kHz? What PLL can't find that....

[23:54:19]

joebob:

anyone familiar with getting proper modeline? I used this guide: http://xbmc.org/forum/showthread.php?t=54685

[23:54:36]

ross:

could be 6 mhz

[23:54:50]

ross:

6.0025

[23:55:17]

iamlindoro:

6 Mhz is the width of one full channel

[23:55:18]

ross:

the modulation is a lil bit off so teh channel looks encrypted

[23:55:36]

iamlindoro:

It's not off, it's a different frequency table

[23:55:51]

iamlindoro:

Harmonically and Incrementally related carriers

[23:55:59]

iamlindoro:

So you should be scanning with HRC or IRC

[23:56:05]

ross:

well excuse my bad english hehe i m bad in explaining things

[23:56:35]

ross:

english is not my first language and i m missing words sometimes

[23:57:12]

awalls:

ross: well I don't know what to say about a modprobe -r hanging – I would have expected a stack dump in the lock.

[23:57:21]

awalls:

/lock/log/

[23:57:31]

ross:

ima check

[23:57:47]

clever:

awalls: yeah, i was expecting a stack dump also when SysRq : Show Blocked State got ran

[23:58:04]

ross:

well no files in the lock folder

[23:58:44]

awalls:

clever: doesn't alt sysrq have an option to dump the state (including stack backtrace) of all the processes?

[23:59:00]

clever:

awalls: yeah, but then there is more to sift thru

[23:59:03]

clever:

let me find the code

[23:59:31]

clever:

ross: 'echo t | sudo tee /proc/sysrq-trigger' while its frozen
