[00:54:55] [R]: it was never under general
[00:55:14] Dagmar: Here's an idea. Try looking in the frontend setup menus

[00:57:22] wagnerrp: you are in mythfrontend, not mythtv-setup, right?

[01:04:04] wagnerrp: do you have a framegrabber?
[01:04:28] Dagmar: Yes. It's on the wiki how you set that up
[01:04:34] syamajala: its an ati tv wonder uses bttv
[01:04:51] wagnerrp: then yes, what dagmar said
[01:04:57] wagnerrp: basically, you just mute the linein
[01:05:03] wagnerrp: so the card does not pass it back out to the speakers
[01:07:04] syamajala: the sound is also out of sync

[01:47:20] [R]: so if i can get recording to work over firewire
[01:47:29] [R]: is it worth it to do an input group for the firewire and my hdpvr?
[01:48:27] wagnerrp: if theyre using the same STB
[01:49:00] wagnerrp: and you can notice the quality difference between straight digital
[01:49:05] wagnerrp: and hdpvr
[01:49:07] [R]: mmmm
[01:49:18] [R]: i guess i'll try it... and if its unreliable or whatever i'll just ditch it
[01:49:19] Dagmar: ...and don't forget gay digital.
[01:49:39] wagnerrp: well that would be the hdpvr
[01:49:46] syamajala: this is sick.
[01:49:49] wagnerrp: digital to analog to digital, it goes both ways
[01:49:53] syamajala: got mythfrontend working on my laptop
[01:50:10] syamajala: can watch tv wirelessly anywhere in my house now
[01:50:34] wagnerrp: sorta, expect momentary dropouts, and other interference
[01:51:24] [R]: wagnerrp: so wouldn't that be bi digital?
[01:51:43] wagnerrp: sure
[01:52:01] [R]: lol
[01:55:23] therealgalen: when watching live TV with mythtv and vdpau... how well does it deal with corrupted transport streams?
[01:56:01] [R]: therealgalen: depends on how badly its corrupted
[01:56:28] therealgalen: [R]: what's your experience?
[01:56:38] [R]: i don't have corrupted streams
[01:57:01] Dagmar: It doesn't. Nothing will well.
[01:57:16] Dagmar: Otherwise they wouldn't be "corrupt" streams. You'd play them and have no idea.
[01:57:37] Dagmar: The simplest way to try to clean them up is to transcode them with a known, good transcoder.

[02:09:21] afm: i have tried cable and broadcast if it's any help
[02:10:06] Dagmar: You have what kind of card?
[02:10:23] Dagmar: ...because based on that message, which frequency table you select doesn't mean a thing.

[02:11:35] afm: it's over a year old, but i loaded the newest firmware on it last week...0.22
[02:11:47] wagnerrp: youre trying to set a frequency table for something that is not a tuner?
[02:11:50] Dagmar: Oooo-kay.
[02:11:56] Dagmar: ...and with that answer I am stepping away.
[02:12:01] Dagmar: 0.22 isn't a year old.
[02:12:18] afm: the hdpvr is over a year old....
[02:13:14] Dagmar: It also has no tuner. You have seriously erred in your configuration.
[02:13:18] wagnerrp: you set this up specifically as a hdpvr in mythtv-setup? not as one of the other input types?
[02:13:28] iamlindoro: he's set the "preset tuner to channel" setting
[02:13:29] wagnerrp: you gave it a tuning command?
[02:13:56] iamlindoro: ie, the "leave this blank unless tou have an external tuner that is CONNECTED TO THE TUNER INPUT of your card"

[06:03:06] k_ross: i'm happy, i got diskless booting working
[06:03:20] k_ross: i think i'll do both my frontends as diskless
[06:04:15] k_ross: now i'll have two extra disks for which to come up with a use.. a 2.5" 80GB drive, and a 2.5" SSD
[06:04:36] k_ross: only 16 GB on the SSD. maybe i'll use it for the car PC
[06:05:02] clever: maybe a carpc with a few hours of myth recordings!
[06:05:23] k_ross: it would be a downgrade in capacity, unfortunately
[06:05:36] k_ross: 160 GB in the car PC currently. but i'd rather have an SSD in the car
[06:05:41] clever: automaticaly sync the latest recordings whenever your home wifi is in range of the car
[06:05:53] clever: you could use the ssd for the os and the 160g for video
[06:06:01] k_ross: hmm
[06:06:15] clever: would run faster, and then you only risk loosing the video files
[06:06:24] wagnerrp: that would be amusing... sync multiple GB of data at 1–2MB/s
[06:06:28] clever: if the normal drive fails, you dont loose the whole os and have to restart
[06:06:31] wagnerrp: have fun with that
[06:06:40] clever: wagnerrp: ok, how many hours does the car sit in the driveway?
[06:06:41] k_ross: so far i've managed to avoid getting into an accident while playing with the car PC, i think that would be pushing it :)
[06:06:52] wagnerrp: how long do you expect to run the PC?
[06:07:07] clever: it could run on battery for an hour or 2 while sync'ing
[06:07:07] wagnerrp: have it set to run off battery, and shut down when done?
[06:07:12] clever: yeah
[06:07:25] clever: ive left my laptop on the inverter overnight, pulling mythtv recordings from the home pc
[06:07:28] k_ross: the PC goes to standby when i turn off the ignition, can't leave it running for hours, it would drain the battery
[06:07:30] clever: off the camp ground's wifi
[06:07:42] ** clever points k_ross at what i just said **
[06:07:52] wagnerrp: clever: im wonder just how much power you have in an automotive battery
[06:08:16] clever: wagnerrp: enough to turn the starter with over 500 amps for a few seconds
[06:08:27] wagnerrp: s/power/energy/
[06:08:43] clever: k_ross: linux or windows on the carpc?
[06:08:51] k_ross: regular batteries aren't deep cycle. they aren't made to run for hours. they get ruined if you discharge them too much
[06:09:08] k_ross: i would need something like an optima deep cycle battery
[06:09:15] wagnerrp: 840Wh for an average fresh battery, thats not too bad
[06:09:19] clever: k_ross: yeah, my dad left a massive flashlight on charge in the back of the jeep one week, and the battery hasnt been the same since
[06:09:40] k_ross: windows running Road Runner. i don't like any of the linux frontends
[06:09:43] clever: he kept having to jumper the poor thing
[06:09:56] clever: k_ross: ah, with linux you have a nice tool, powertop
[06:10:00] k_ross: i don't like RR either, but i use it
[06:10:21] clever: for example, right now its saying Suggestion: Enable the CONFIG_NO_HZ kernel configuration option. This option is required to get any kind of longer sleep times in the CPU.

[06:12:34] k_ross: heh, it's an even bigger sink of time than myth tv :)
[06:12:43] clever: same
[06:13:12] clever: i often use the laptop in the car/jeep/van
[06:13:31] k_ross: with gps?
[06:13:40] clever: i also played with the idea of a 'server' laptop in the back under a seat, and then a 'client' laptop that was network booting
[06:13:57] clever: but the ethernet on the server one is toast, so i have to use 10mbit
[06:14:24] k_ross: hmm interesting. what would be the purpose of that?
[06:15:04] clever: you could have the 'server' end in a coushined box to protect the hdd from vibrations
[06:15:11] wagnerrp: i was considering the something similar, box in the trunk (to replace my AMPS onstar unit), controlled by a nokia unit on the dashboard
[06:15:30] clever: and the client one would go on/off all the time, diskless, and bolted somewhere where it will shake alot
[06:15:40] wagnerrp: but after digging through the cable harness wiring schematics, i found the system was only mono
[06:15:47] wagnerrp: and would sound like crap anyway
[06:16:30] k_ross: i put a 7" touchscreen monitor in the dash, and ran the cables to the computer in the back, next to the amplifiers and subwoofer
[06:16:49] wagnerrp: k_ross: well i was wanting to work within the existing system
[06:16:57] k_ross: understood
[06:16:58] wagnerrp: rather than having to run cables, open up the dash, whatever
[06:17:21] wagnerrp: and the onstar units have the capacity to override the stereo, and pump audio out the speakers
[06:17:33] clever: ah
[06:17:38] clever: yeah that would be nice to use
[06:17:48] wagnerrp: excepts its mono
[06:18:04] clever: i think there was a mute wire on the stereo we added
[06:18:05] wagnerrp: and even if it werent, i would have to figure out how to send the proper signal over some undocumented data bus
[06:18:11] k_ross: it doesn't have any kind of aux input for like plugging in an mp3 player?
[06:18:14] clever: that would help to do something similar
[06:18:32] wagnerrp: k_ross: there is, internally if i open up the dash
[06:19:26] k_ross: there are aftermarkets adapters that will plug into the cd changer port that will give you an aux input
[06:20:10] k_ross: assuming you don't actually have a cd changer installed
[06:20:14] clever: ive got a full 10 disk cd changer with fm transmiter
[06:20:21] clever: but it isnt installed in anything
[06:22:19] k_ross: in my particular case, i upgraded the sound system before i ever thought about putting a computer in there. it just had stock sound, not the premium sound system, so i added amps, new speakers, built a custom subwoofer enclosure, new head unit, etc.
[06:23:23] clever: yeah at that point, it doesnt take much to mute the audio
[06:23:35] clever: what i had done with the sound system in the basement, was feed the tv into line-in
[06:23:42] clever: which then fed back out to the sound system
[06:23:48] clever: so the pc could easily mute the tv
[06:24:06] k_ross: ah gotcha
[06:24:12] clever: the problem, is that when i shut the pc off, i loose all audio
[06:24:46] k_ross: wire up a relay that switches the audio to bypass the pc when it's off :)
[06:26:02] clever: yeah
[06:26:19] clever: i think i was using the tape input and tape monitor
[06:26:33] clever: so by switching that tape input off, i bypasses the computer

[07:00:12] k_ross: at least on my system
[07:02:06] clever: k_ross: didnt really use the loopback much at all
[07:02:18] clever: but it gave me the option of muting the tv from software

[12:23:18] pgee: this is further complicated by another error, where my mac front end is not compatible with the new server. and try as hard as i might, i can't seem to get the front end to compile on the mac.

[13:35:20] CyberKnet: mzb: the ps3 does make it an expensive combo ;P
[13:35:27] ivor: i think there are cheaper ones that use IR with a usb dongle.
[13:35:40] mzb: not planning on buying a ps3 ;)
[13:35:41] ivor: just get the ps3 one. :)
[13:35:45] mzb: don't want IR
[13:35:50] CyberKnet: mzb: heh heh heh
[13:36:27] ivor: mzb: yeah, just meant I hadn't seen any cheeaper bluetooth ones... the cheap ones I'd seen were IR/usb combos.
[13:36:34] mzb: yep, ~$30-$46 for original, <$25 for a copy
[13:36:38] CyberKnet: mzb: don't take this as me criticizing your choice – I'm sure you thought through what you want ... I'm sitting here wondering what kind of battery life you could get out of a bluetooth remote though.
[13:36:49] mzb: not sure
[13:37:14] CyberKnet: nothing worse than someone raining o n your parade after you thoroughly researched it.
[13:37:25] mzb: I currently use a wii-remote (don't have a wii either!;)) which I bought a "single" charger for (came with batteries!)
[13:37:44] CyberKnet: Anyone in here got an electric acoustic guitar they want to sell for a song, or give away? :)
[13:37:54] mzb: that works for probably a good day or so without being charged (iirc)
[13:38:06] CyberKnet: daily charge. wow.
[13:38:15] CyberKnet: that would drive me batty. heh.
[13:38:21] mzb: it gets a lot of use :)
[13:38:40] mzb: _extremely_ convenient
[13:38:53] CyberKnet: mzb: Yeah, but I used a keyboard for the first three years of my myth life, so I suppose I can't really talk. :) We all have our choices, huh?
[13:38:59] mzb: maybe it's 3 days ... I don't pay that much attention :)
[13:39:14] mzb: :))
[13:39:32] CyberKnet: using a microsoft mceusb2 remote now, and loving it.

[13:39:57] CyberKnet: Had u sed a Niveus PC remote (RF) before that, and liked it until the remote or receiver gave up the ghost.

[13:57:57] mzb: then follow the installation instructions on the wiki for installing from source
[13:58:27] pgee: is this where the svn comes into ?
[13:58:40] mzb: yes
[13:58:43] mzb: I assume the rev you've mentioned is actually for 0.22-fixes ... not trunk?
[13:59:53] pgee: yes it is. . i really would like the mac version to work, because that is what i mostly used. that is version 22957
[14:00:19] pgee: to clarify, i would like the mac version to work as a front end. ubuntu as the backend.
[14:01:35] mzb: you'd best do some research, or talk to an expert ... I can't help you with any mac issues relating to machines built in this millenium ;)

[16:47:50] Brad-D: hey iamlindoro, random question. Do you think it's possible to parse a .swf (flash) response from a webpage with QNetwork? Or am I barking up the wrong tree?
[16:49:28] iamlindoro: Depends on what you want to parse about it, I guess... but my instinct is to say it would be an uphill battle
[16:49:58] iamlindoro: I mean, you could look at something like the gnash source to see their disassembly/interpretation of swf, but not sure you would get what you need (or what you need)
[16:50:18] Brad-D: yeah just trying to rip out song names from the XM radio website.. it does seem to come back in almost random characters, so i think i have to decode it somehow, but NOOOOO idea
[16:50:18] Brad-D: lol
[16:51:28] Dagmar: I think you're pretty much boned for trying that route
[16:51:46] Dagmar: If you're getting back an swf, it's rather likely that it's _just_ the part that displays data
[16:52:00] Dagmar: Sniff the network, you'll probably see said swf file making a simple query
[16:53:14] sphery: And it sounds like getting at that information would, at minimum, break ToS.
[16:53:56] Dagmar: Yep
[16:54:00] Brad-D: dagmar: thanks, you are probably right

[16:57:06] sphery: I think if I were implementing it, I'd have the server create the frame(s) that have the song info on it, then send them as just something for the player to display. That way, nothing on the client side has raw data (or access to raw data) that my employer wants me to protect.
[16:57:42] sphery: because if it's just sending a query to some web service or whatever, anyone with wireshark could easily figure it out/do the same
[16:58:03] Brad-D: heheheh that's what i'm trying to do, wireshark is great!
[16:58:04] Dagmar: Ah but that's where the arms race figures in
[16:58:12] Dagmar: They can change the flash app and it's query any time they like.
[16:58:31] sphery: but if the data isn't accessible outside their network...
[16:58:40] Dagmar: Several WoW-related sites that distribute addons use a flash button like that to prevent people like WoWMatrix just having their updater client directly download the files

[17:07:23] sphery: elmojo: on the bright side, the feature freeze for 0.23 is quickly approaching, meaning 0.23 is just around the corner. So as long as it gets into trunk, it will be in -fixes /very/ soon.
[17:08:13] sphery: elmojo: I'm wondering if jan neg is planning on doing an ffmpeg sync this iteration... I think it would be quite useful (based on a lot of your, "fixed by ffmpeg changeset..." messages :), but might be kind of dangerous as we approach feature freeze.
[17:08:26] iamlindoro: Yes, he's doing it over the Christmas break

[17:14:15] elmojo: sphery: an ffmpeg sync is still planned as far as I know

[17:16:09] superdump: getting funding to work on it took too long for me, so i got another job and am now too busy to work on it myself
[17:16:30] iamlindoro: superdump: bummer, but understandable
[17:16:31] superdump: however, i pointed the people with the money to some other developers, including astrange himself

[17:17:32] superdump: but i guess it'll need clean up, refactoring and optimisation

[17:18:00] iamlindoro: yeah
[17:18:14] elmojo: sphery: I was the one who couldn't figure out that the intitial database script was resetting the password
[17:18:20] iamlindoro: will/would be nice to drop requirement for faad
[17:18:28] sphery: elmojo: ah, yeah, the "mc.sql changed the password" issue... I've been thinking about changing the restore script to do the create db commands...
[17:19:02] elmojo: sphery: that would be sweet
[17:19:05] sphery: At least until then, I've updated the wiki page with a mention of mc.sql's penchant to change the password.
[17:19:20] superdump: also one of the ffmpeg devs said he had a patch to provide potentially significant speed ups to the aac decoder
[17:19:28] superdump: most of them were just changes to the C code
[17:19:46] sphery: The original reason I didn't put the create db stuff in there is because the mc.sql can change at any time
[17:19:47] superdump: maybe those changes will land after the holiday
[17:19:50] elmojo: sphery: I was actually following the documentation on the website so the wiki wouldn't have helped

[17:22:19] sphery: then again, maybe the best bet is to remove the username-related stuff from mc.sql...
[17:23:42] iamlindoro: superdump: Yeah, as not much of an AAC user, it thrills me less than the -mt stuff, but I can see the "big picture" impact all that work will have, and am thankful for all your hard work

[17:25:21] elmojo: sphery: I would think securing that user account for mysql would be unnecessary 99.9% of the time
[17:26:05] elmojo: sphery: Mythbuntu also generates a random root mysql password that the installer doesn't know
[17:26:24] sphery: yeah, that definitely complicates things
[17:26:52] sphery: and for small security benefit (as the config.xml and/or mysql.txt contain a clear text password for the mythtv user)
[17:27:01] Artus36 (Artus36!n=Artus36@i577B99B1.versanet.de) has joined #mythtv-users
[17:27:25] wagnerrp: is that mythbuntu's doing? or simply how ubuntu installs mysql?
[17:28:36] elmojo: wagnerrp: I might be mistaken but if you install mysql-server under Ubuntu it will provide a prompt for the password
[17:28:46] elmojo: Mythbuntu automatically handles this
[17:29:19] sphery: after all, Oracle has scott/tiger, MySQL has root/'' , so ...  :)
[17:29:48] elmojo: sphery: I know people who are quite tech-savvy to say the least give up on MythTV solely due to mysql installation headaches
[17:30:19] sphery: yeah, I will likely be working on an embedded mysql for 0.24 (time permitting)
[17:30:31] sphery: has a ton of benefits
[17:30:32] elmojo: of course you've improved this part of MythTV substantially since this occurred
[17:31:29] sphery: only downside is we need a protocol for communicating with the data server (allowing enough flexibility for the app/developers without allowing too much flexibility for other stuff)
[17:32:18] elmojo: sphery: embedded mysql would be awesome
[17:32:24] elmojo: sounds like a huge effort
[17:32:41] sphery: I don't think it would be that bad once we figure out how to do it
[17:32:59] wagnerrp: so this den0ts_character has been getting rather abusive even with glaring ignorance
[17:33:37] sphery: I don't really like the "pass SQL directly over the protocol" approach (as it encourages bad things, like users changing the column encodings because they have no clue how things work and so they break their DB's)
[17:33:47] wagnerrp: sphery: last night, he couldnt be bothered to read your documentation on the backup-and-restore page
[17:34:08] sphery: but I don't know if I can convince the other devs to put SQL directly in the dataserver component
[17:34:19] sphery: wagnerrp: that is the big down side--lots of stuff there

[17:37:45] iamlindoro: The commands are in <pre> tags because that's all you *really* need, right?
[17:37:49] sphery: It does seem that some distros (Mandrake?) don't configure config.xml for normal users, so the user has to run it as root or configure config.xml themselves.
[17:38:10] sphery: iamlindoro: yeah, the words are just there to provide boundaries around the <pre> sections
[17:38:15] sphery: not at all worth reading
[17:38:26] wagnerrp: pretty sure his lack of the most basic understanding of linux meant he was running ubuntu
[17:39:01] sphery: Ubuntu's setting up a 0.22 database and setting up username/password (different from mc.sql) can complicate things...
[17:39:20] wagnerrp: yeah, he was complaining about that too
[17:39:36] wagnerrp: seems he had run mythtv-setup before trying to restore, so he complained about it in here
[17:39:54] sphery: i.e. if a user does what a certain cle ver person said in #mythtv last night, "just restore over mythconverg," when they upgrade, they will break the DB.
[17:40:12] wagnerrp: then when he just outright deleted the database to 'empty' it, the restore script errored, and he complained
[17:40:21] sphery: heh
[17:40:49] sphery: the new message is much more verbose when the script can't connect to the DB
[17:40:59] sphery: (of course, that won't hit *buntu until 9.10)
[17:41:07] sphery: er, 10.04, it seems
[17:41:10] sphery: wow, time flies
[17:41:53] wagnerrp: so im wondering, was the 0.23 release schedule put in place to try to get it out for 10.04?
[17:42:01] Defense|Twin: Hi, is it true that the WinTV-HVR1100 has only dvb-T linux support?

[17:42:18] iamlindoro: wagnerrp: not really, though it's not a terrible coincidence
[17:42:27] sphery: mainly was a compromise between "too long" and "not long enough"
[17:42:27] wagnerrp: Defense|Twin: if linuxtv.org says it so
[17:43:00] Defense|Twin: wagnerrp: where is linux.tv speaking? (where can i find a list of supportet devices?)
[17:43:03] sphery: Well, Mark S's check to each MythTV developer for $100K definitely helped us decide on the schedule
[17:43:16] sphery: (though I told the others we should hold out for more)
[17:43:25] wagnerrp: http://linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/Hauppauge_WinTV-HVR-1110
[17:43:40] Defense|Twin: wagnerrp: hm cool
[17:43:43] sphery: Defense|Twin: and for the rest of the list: http://linuxtv.org/wiki
[17:44:30] elmojo: iamlindoro: it seems a good number of people reverted back to mplayer in 0.22.... it would be nice if people would try to help get the kinks worked out
[17:44:59] iamlindoro: elmojo: Indeed :(
[17:45:09] elmojo: iamlindoro: without any doubt the video rendered side of MythTV blows away any player in the world
[17:45:14] elmojo: PERIOD
[17:45:20] wagnerrp: and contribute? nneeevaahhhh
[17:45:37] iamlindoro: elmojo: They all look for the simple solution, not the right one
[17:45:42] sphery: henrik__: and I've heard (though haven't looked at their ToS) that Google has some pretty good weather information available through XML and a real API
[17:46:07] sphery: probably good everywhere except China, knowing Google.
[17:46:28] Defense|Twin: wagnerrp: sphery: thx .. somehow i was always looking into the supported_hardware section, but there are only some links to not so good lists
[17:46:29] wagnerrp: google has weather in china, its just always bright and sunny
[17:46:40] sphery: heh
[17:46:48] Defense|Twin: wagnerrp: and now i know that i have an 1110 card :)
[17:46:51] wagnerrp: thank the PRC for their weather machines to make it so
[17:46:52] iamlindoro: wagnerrp: and presumably, 150% humidity
[17:47:07] wagnerrp: s/thank/praise/

[17:48:04] sphery: DjMadness_: with VLC?
[17:48:17] wagnerrp: DjMadness_: if you have some manner of redirecting that sopcast feed through RTSP, sure
[17:49:29] elmojo: iamlindoro: you should try out MKV seeking with my patch applied... it is super sweet.... you can pause and then press right and it will perform frame-by-frame seeking so fast it plays at almost regular speed :)
[17:49:45] GreyFoxx: elmojo: night :)
[17:49:49] GreyFoxx: nice
[17:49:51] GreyFoxx: blah
[17:50:00] iamlindoro: elmojo: Heheh... nice-- the only reason I don't have them applied ATM is that I have a *lot* of testing patches applied and I just can't keep track of any more ATM :)
[17:50:06] DjMadness_: sphery: know of any command line utilities for this ? (i think installing an X server is a bit overkill)
[17:50:11] iamlindoro: elmojo: Greyfoxx might be willing to have a look
[17:50:21] ** iamlindoro runs away after having volunteered others **
[17:50:23] sphery: DjMadness_: you can't have Myth without an installed X server

[17:50:34] wagnerrp: sphery: sure you can!
[17:50:35] sphery: an you can't really play back video without an X server
[17:50:42] AndyCap: installed X libs anyway.
[17:50:42] wagnerrp: well you are right there
[17:50:53] sphery: wagnerrp: pretty sure we use more than Qt core
[17:51:02] sphery: meaning you have to have X installed
[17:51:05] sphery: (even if you don't run it)
[17:51:16] Defense|Twin: if i have a /dev/video0 the card shoul support analog tv doesn't it?
[17:51:17] wagnerrp: sphery: like AndyCap said, you only explicitly need the libs, not the server itself
[17:51:22] elmojo: GreyFoxx: thanks.... it'd actually be nice if someone like yourself could review/improve my patches
[17:51:29] wagnerrp: just the minimal needed for X redirection
[17:51:31] GreyFoxx: I'd love to try them out
[17:51:49] wagnerrp: although that does mean you need an X server elsewhere
[17:52:07] sphery: ah, yeah
[17:52:19] GreyFoxx: anything that improves playback makes me happy
[17:52:21] BjornR1989 is now known as BjornR^AFK
[17:52:24] sphery: but the server is a tiny component of X
[17:52:30] DjMadness_: okeys... ill see what i can do...
[17:52:46] sphery: -rwsr-xr-x 1 root root 7207554 2006-10–01 17:58 /usr/bin/Xorg (with full debug)
[17:53:16] wagnerrp: sphery: well, people still want to install mythtv without that 1.6MB backend
[17:53:23] sphery: -rwxr-xr-x 1 mdean mdean 1602436 2009-12–23 12:53 xorg (copy that was stripped)
[17:53:37] sphery: yeah... 1.6MB is worth how much these days?
[17:53:45] sphery: them are some real partial cents
[17:53:49] elmojo: GreyFoxx: #7521 and it references some other patches that are useful
[17:54:00] wagnerrp: $0.00007
[17:54:00] GreyFoxx: One biggest "glitch" with playback recently is that when I seek around audio is out of sync for about a inute
[17:54:12] GreyFoxx: only with mkv's though and only since around 0.22 release
[17:54:18] GreyFoxx: cool
[17:54:19] wagnerrp: actually, thats only 1MB
[17:54:26] wagnerrp: closer to $0.00011
[17:54:34] elmojo: GreyFoxx: hmmm..... I've got some AV-sync improvements too that might help
[17:55:48] elmojo: GreyFoxx: #7759
[17:56:38] sphery: wagnerrp: and, in MythTV terms, it's 6 seconds of 2200kbps SDTV video
[17:57:20] sphery: anyone know where Google posts the ToS for their Google Weather API?
[17:57:26] elmojo: GreyFoxx: you'll definitely want #7454 for MKV too
[17:57:40] wagnerrp: i actually tried looking several months ago, and couldnt find anything
[17:57:47] sphery: yeah, me neither
[17:58:02] sphery: http://code.google.com/apis/maps/terms.html mentions weather
[17:58:03] wagnerrp: although i couldnt actually find any official google documentation for using the API either
[17:58:19] sphery: but the page is called, "Google Maps/Google Earth APIs Terms of Service"
[17:58:53] sphery: "Google Maps/Google Earth APIs are a collection of services that allow you to include maps, geocoding, and other Content from Google in your webpages or applications."
[17:58:58] sphery: I think that's it
[17:59:00] elmojo: GreyFoxx, that last patch fixes some demuxing issues that fixes video corruption related to keyfame problems
[18:00:38] wagnerrp: looks like you could pull images too, through the static maps api
[18:01:27] sphery: though the mention of weather is "things may change due to weather"

[20:35:04] Chicago: Originally, I thought I was shopping for an IR Keyboard and the one on newegg didn't come with the receiver.
[20:35:11] wagnerrp: if you buy commercial, you almost always buy receiver + remote
[20:35:17] Dagmar: If you have an open serial port and no other option is jumping out at you (becasue nothing's built into your tuner card) then serial is likely less work
[20:35:19] Chicago: I don't want to go through too much bullshit...
[20:35:56] Chicago: Well, this is a one-off frontend for the parents to have in their office room. It's mostly only for mythvideo...
[20:35:59] Dagmar: ...and that's just because the serial interface is markedly less likely to require anything to make it "go".
[20:36:41] Chicago: Is there an option I'm missing which would usually easily / universally connect to an IR header as found on most motherboards?
[20:36:42] Dagmar: There are USB ones which require even less, but you have to know which ones they are and it's seldom obvious until you have the thing in your hand or you're willing to do a lot of research.
[20:37:01] Dagmar: ...and by "a lot of research" I most certainly do not mean "ask people on IRC a billion questions"
[20:37:25] Chicago: right, I did learn the chipsets aren't all the same in the USB ones.
[20:37:29] Dagmar: In the end, I just said "screw it" and threw thirty bucks at the problem
[20:37:32] wagnerrp: im partial to the mceusb2 remotes, but thats just because its the only one ive bought
[20:37:34] Chicago: also I'm inclined to go DB-9 for compatibility.
[20:37:45] wagnerrp: basically, you plug it in, load the module, and lirc 'just works'
[20:38:02] wagnerrp: but there are several versions of MCE remote that are not 'mceusb2'
[20:38:09] Dagmar: One iguanaworks serial dongle and a $14 dollar One4All PVR-style remote from Target later and I was done.
[20:38:48] Chicago: Dagmar, up the iguanaworks serial dongle looks like par for the course
[20:39:15] Chicago: wagnerrp, if I could get a brand new receiver for the MCE IR keyboard, I think I'd be all set.
[20:39:23] Chicago: up = yup

[20:40:00] wagnerrp: youre looking for something to receive commands from your IR keyboard?
[20:40:29] Dagmar: You will absolutely want to just buy a new dongle for that
[20:40:41] Chicago: I don't own an IR keyboard yet either. I'm planning to drop a mythbox into the crawlspace of the parents house and run a video cable and wireless keyboard receiver up through the floor...
[20:40:59] wagnerrp: why do you want/need a keyboard?
[20:41:22] Chicago: The IR wireless keyboard seems quite appropriate, because it can navigate the full GUI... and it's scancodes can be fed to the universal remotes which would then mean it should work with the receiver which comes along with the keyboard.
[20:41:57] wagnerrp: dont most ir keyboards use some proprietary format? something not compatible with standard CIR scan codes?
[20:42:23] Dagmar: Almost always
[20:42:45] Chicago: Should I expect such a thing to fail with a learning remote???
[20:42:53] EvilGuru (EvilGuru!n=freddie@helium.witherden.org) has joined #mythtv-users
[20:42:54] Dagmar: This would be why you'd want to buy the dongle that translates what comes from teh keyboard into keystrokes
[20:43:13] wagnerrp: were saying a remote, and an ir keyboard, will be in no way compatible
[20:43:24] wagnerrp: you will not be able to run both off the same receiver
[20:43:32] Chicago: crap
[20:43:35] wagnerrp: unless the keyboard comes with a remote specifically designed for that
[20:43:53] Chicago: I was hoping to plug in the keyboard... then take the learning remote and feed it keys for the appropriate buttons I want to map...
[20:43:59] Chicago: then lay the keyboard to the side and just use the remote.
[20:44:08] wagnerrp: when you do the installation
[20:44:15] wagnerrp: just mount a jack on the wall
[20:44:31] wagnerrp: with video, audio (if not HDMI), and USB
[20:44:31] Chicago: I like the pretty wall mount receptacles for IR receivers.
[20:44:50] wagnerrp: plug a usb IR receiver in for normal operation
[20:45:06] wagnerrp: plug a usb keyboard in if you ever need to do maintenance that a laptop and ssh wont cut it for
[20:45:46] Chicago: Yeah, I usually use x11vnc for that, but I'm having trouble with ssvncviewer right now, because when I type... it gets sent to the console rather than as input to the X session.
[20:46:20] Chicago: wagnerrp, your advise to just run USB on the wall plate makes sense too.
[20:46:23] Chicago: Less dicking around with IR.
[20:46:33] wagnerrp: no sense making things more complex than they need be
[20:46:36] Dagmar: Just tell me you're not using x11vnc from another Linux machineTht00raL00
[20:46:59] Chicago: Dagmar, what?
[20:47:09] Dagmar: Sorry, kinda dropped something on the keyboard ther.
[20:47:18] Dagmar: Well... *dodged* something falling on the keyboard there
[20:48:31] Chicago: Dagmar x11vnc runs in xinet.d on the mythbox... if I need to connect to it, I do so from another machine... another option I use is simple X11ssh forwarding.
[20:48:46] Chicago: But I've been interested in ssvncviewer lately, so I play using x11vnc and xinet.d
[20:50:38] wagnerrp: are you doing this over the internet?
[20:51:17] Chicago: wagnerrp, negative; on a lovely ideal LAN environment.
[20:51:30] wagnerrp: then why are you bothering with ssvnc?
[20:51:55] Chicago: wagnerrp, It's faster; there is client side caching of the pixmaps.
[20:52:09] wagnerrp: if youre concerned about someone snooping on your LAN traffic, you have bigger issues than trying to control your myth box
[20:52:14] Chicago: So if you're ssvncing a 1920x1080 screen... it might appear as 1920x10000
[20:52:26] Chicago: I am the only user of my lan.
[20:52:57] Chicago: When I move the box over to the parents house... they wouldn't have the bandwidth for me to even do it as a remote X session with X11 forwarding through ssh.
[20:53:14] wagnerrp: ive not really found performance to be any significant issue when running any form of VNC over the lan
[20:53:42] wagnerrp: (currently running 1600x1200 xchat over VNC)
[20:54:26] Chicago: cool
[20:54:47] wagnerrp: i really need to get xpra working under windows...
[20:54:53] Chicago: what is xpra?
[20:55:15] wagnerrp: or maybe get NX working, ive heard that does rootless remote X as well
[20:55:28] Chicago: nevermind, I just read about xpra

[20:57:26] Chicago: yup
[20:59:17] wagnerrp: reflection just seems to be a windows X server
[20:59:29] wagnerrp: theres no client-side component
[20:59:43] Chicago: You don't want to move the whole Xsession?
[21:00:07] wagnerrp: i want to be able to shift it to whatever machine im currently using, without closing it
[21:00:22] wagnerrp: otherwise, i would just use cygwin/x and be done with it

[21:49:06] MartinJT: dammit...
[21:49:29] MartinJT: anyone know of a cheap IR receivers available in the UK then?
[21:49:41] jblack: MartinJT: Yes, it sucks spending 40 bucks on a remote and receiver.. on the upside, you only have to buy it once.\
[21:49:47] MartinJT: I read somewhere that you can build one? is taht right?
[21:50:20] jblack: Buying one will be cheaper than the expense in parts and your time. Bite the bullet buddy.
[21:51:25] MartinJT: thing is... I'm trying to setup a couple more myth frontends... and got lots of hauppauge remotes lying around...
[21:51:55] MartinJT: so was thinking that if I made one, I could make 4, therefore using economies of scale and all that...
[21:52:16] jblack: sometimes trash is trash. :|
[21:52:16] wagnerrp: well each subsequent one would take less time on your part

[22:07:36] Dagmar: You're not going to find a "universal IR reciever" that's not being marketed by liars because they're pretty much impossible to make.
[22:07:56] Dagmar: If you did some research into how IR signaling and the associated electronics work, you would not have been looking.

[22:28:38] Dagmar: Well, here's a hint:
[22:28:46] Dagmar: Foisting the work onto others isn't going to make you any friends.
[22:28:46] mzb: streamzap receiver will do what you want ... I have 2
[22:29:03] Dagmar: IR signaling isn't that complex.
[22:29:07] mzb: long day Dagmar ?
[22:29:11] MartinJT: got friends... need ir receivers...
[22:29:13] MartinJT: j/k
[22:29:20] Dagmar: mzb: I *always* have long days.
[22:29:28] mzb: ah
[22:29:37] MartinJT: i appreciate the help...
[22:29:42] Dagmar: ...and there's a special place on my dartboard for claims that they already work all day long.
[22:29:55] Dagmar: Reading to learn new things isn't that bloody hard, and in the long run it makes you more money.
[22:30:03] sid3windr: chrimbo!
[22:30:29] Dagmar: With how cobbled and duct-taped together LIRC is, if you *don't* know anything about IR signaling, the first little problem you hit will be well-nigh insurmountable
[22:30:33] mzb: speaking of which ... I'm supposed to be cleaning the house, the BBQ, the front yard ...
[22:30:33] MartinJT: Dagmar, that's how I got to where I am, so I definately agree...
[22:30:36] mzb: *sigh* ;)
[22:31:37] MartinJT: Dagmar, I probably understand more than I think to be honest... i've just been looking, and thinking, it shouldn't be this hard! i must be missing something
[22:31:37] mzb: roast BBQ chicken today, roast BBQ pork tomorrow, and fresh crayfish sat/sun ;)
[22:32:12] mzb: MartinJT, two choices:
[22:32:26] mzb: 1) something like a streamzap receiver (they work!)
[22:32:26] mzb: or
[22:32:34] mzb: 2) http://usbirboy.sourceforge.net/ (or similar)
[22:33:03] mzb: you *can't* put a homebrew serial on a serial/usb converter ... doesn't work that way
[22:33:46] wagnerrp: those things only do data? not analog signalling?
[22:33:54] AndyCap: well. close enough. http://www.huitsing.nl/irftdi/
[22:34:31] mzb: no RTS/DTS (?) at the computer end, which is what lirc needs
[22:34:53] mzb: if you wade through the feedback on dealextreme for their "media remotes with receivers" you might find something ... but again, ymmv

[23:08:34] Dagmar: You can just assume there'll be a patent wall in there somewhere important.
[23:08:56] wagnerrp: actually, its tivo's "standard", and a bunch of other manufacturers are supporting it
[23:09:13] wagnerrp: basically, your cablebox now becomes an IPTV gateway
[23:09:26] wagnerrp: it manages decryption of whatever content you are authorized to use
[23:09:32] wagnerrp: and feeds it to whatever device wants them

[23:11:12] wagnerrp: unless the FCC gets some balls, and basically tells the cablecos tough sh*t, its not going to make a bit of difference for homebrew users
[23:11:18] Dagmar: Hence, there's a patent wall in there somewhere
[23:11:37] Dagmar: They should give the FCC semi-automatic weapons and rights to use them at will.

[23:29:08] mzb: I've got an LM355Z installed, but having issues with the supply (very long lead). Electrical engineer (Dad) arriving this afternoon should be able to look at it for me.
[23:29:55] mzb: I've discovered that tomato plants don't appreciate 43C much ;)
[23:30:01] Dagmar: heh
[23:30:19] Dagmar: Very few plants do
[23:30:28] mzb: :)
[23:31:00] Dagmar: Last August we had a veritably blight here with temps at or just above 95 for almost the whole month. didn' tdrop below 88F the entire time
[23:31:11] mzb: and that was the temp ~2 feet off the floor (wet concrete) in the shade ... top of the greenhouse appears to be 5–10 degrees more
[23:31:33] Dagmar: It even killed those waxy-leaved topiary bushes out in front of the apartment complex that normally require nuclear weapons or at least a lot of kerosene to kil off
[23:31:42] mzb: hehe
[23:31:49] Dagmar: 109F will sure as hell kill tomatoes
[23:32:10] mzb: yep, trying to keep it down to ~30C max
[23:32:19] mzb: fan _appears_ to almost achieve that
[23:32:50] Dagmar: For me it was like California Fire Season had moved to Tennessee. I was definitely concerned.
[23:32:51] AndyCap: killer tomatoes.
[23:32:53] mzb: when it doesn't I can turn the water on for 20–30 seconds and then turn the fan back on .... makes a difference
[23:33:13] Dagmar: California doesn't have a lot of foliage, so when it all becomes flammable for awhile it's not a _massive_ problem
[23:33:26] Dagmar: In Tennessee, you'd think the forests were winning.
[23:34:00] mzb: this is what it looks like so far: http://www.users.on.net/~marcusbrutus/Greenhouse/
[23:34:10] Dagmar: With everything but the trees being dead, I made sure my car stayed full up with gas so I could drive a few states over if I needed to.
