[00:00:00] Dagmar: wagnerrp: I suppose you'd have to have played Crysis with the settings up on full
[00:00:25] wagnerrp: i mean the 'demoscene'...
[00:01:00] wagnerrp: is that the people trying to do 3d demos in the smallest number of kilobytes?
[00:01:23] Dagmar: I don't think demo scene coders *ever* did anything even remotely photorealistic that wasn't subsequently mapped onto some objects just because they can
[00:01:46] Dagmar: It's not so much the number of bytes as is it was the near technical impossibility
[00:02:08] Dagmar: C-64 demoscene coders were *way* beyond what most professional game programmers could manage
[00:02:24] Dagmar: This is why they wound up forming into companies like Psygnosis
[00:04:18] kormoc: wagnerrp: it's purely just a demonstration of skill, sometimes in efficiency, sometimes in visual quality, etc
[00:05:01] sid3windr: yup
[00:05:17] sid3windr: also formed remedy
[00:05:38] wagnerrp: ok, i just remember some 'demo' several years ago with several minutes of some 3d fly-through, complete with music, stored in 64KB
[00:05:51] Dagmar: There were positively tons of that stuff
[00:05:54] sid3windr: yeh, the 64kB compo is one of the branches

[00:12:32] _ben: .22
[00:12:35] [R]: 22 what
[00:12:39] [R]: final, rc, fixes?
[00:12:43] _ben: let me check
[00:13:23] _ben: 0.22.0+fixes22594–0ubuntu1
[00:13:39] poodyp (poodyp!n=poodyp@m330436d0.tmodns.net) has joined #mythtv-users
[00:13:47] [R]: theres an opptioin in the setting
[00:13:50] [R]: about 'select changes channel'
[00:13:51] [R]: or something
[00:13:52] justinh: if you're using the livetv EPG, you need to have 'use select to change channels'
[00:13:55] [R]: in the program guide settings
[00:14:01] _ben: cheers [R]
[00:14:14] justinh: but only in livetv
[00:14:33] justinh: whatever that is ;-)
[00:15:14] _ben: that did the trick
[00:15:51] sid3windr: so, [R], did this setting really change between rc, final and fixes?
[00:16:05] [R]: they removed it in fixes
[00:16:09] [R]: its always on
[00:16:21] [R]: and stupid ubuntu is shipping with an rc
[00:16:35] sid3windr: an rc of fixes? :|
[00:16:42] [R]: its not really fixes

[00:16:55] sid3windr: but they called it fixes for fun? :|
[00:17:17] [R]: the svn number matches up correctly though
[00:18:53] wagnerrp: fantastic... an hour later i realize i have putty in 'latin-1' mode
[00:20:51] Led-Hed: I'm running Ubuntu 9.10 but cant seem to Rip DVD's. What packages are needed to Rip DVD's?
[00:21:06] [R]: Led-Hed: how are you trying?
[00:21:13] Led-Hed: from the Frontend
[00:21:23] [R]: Led-Hed: and what does the log say? are you running mtd? what does it's log say?
[00:21:23] Led-Hed: going to optical -> Import DVD
[00:21:35] Led-Hed: [R], lemme check
[00:22:44] Led-Hed: mtd.log says that MTD started and is running and listening on port 2442
[00:24:38] Led-Hed: [R], nothing else in the Backend or frontend logs
[00:25:14] mzb: look in the logs dir in your tmp directory (the one you've set for mytharchive)
[00:25:19] [R]: then you need to turn up the verbosity then
[00:26:23] Led-Hed: I reinserted the DVD, log says "libdvdread: Encrypted DVD support unavailable."
[00:26:42] [R]: sounds like you are missing libdvdcss
[00:27:01] ** Led-Hed is looking **
[00:28:08] Led-Hed: is there a libdvdcss for x64?
[00:28:28] [R]: i'm sure there is
[00:28:31] [R]: but that has nothing to do with myth
[00:29:09] Led-Hed: agreed
[00:29:20] mzb: medibuntu?
[00:29:33] Led-Hed: no
[00:29:42] Led-Hed: Just plain jane 9.10

[00:47:40] Led-Hed: ok, now I can play Encrypted DVD's in Xine, but still getting errors when trying to rip

[00:48:00] [R]: what about mplayer
[00:48:33] ** Led-Hed hides, because he cant figure out how to play a DVD in mplayer **
[00:49:14] _ben: mplayer dvd://1 -dvd-device /dev/foo or whatever
[00:49:39] Led-Hed: thanks
[00:51:39] Led-Hed: ugh I give up.
[00:52:22] [R]: its amazing the things one can learn from a man page
[00:52:34] Led-Hed: its not that
[00:53:06] Led-Hed: I just need to get this DVD Ripped quickly. Its for my kids party, and its starting soon
[00:53:23] [R]: so use mencoder
[00:53:23] Led-Hed: The frontend I'm gonna be playing it on doesnt have a DVD drive
[00:53:25] [R]: use handbrake
[00:53:30] [R]: use one of the millions of other tools

[01:57:58] iamlindoro: always the chance of an 11th hour agreement, but it's sure not looking like it
[01:58:14] wagnerrp: got an article? i only saw some mention of it a couple days ago
[01:58:24] [R]: oh damn thatsn ot good

[01:58:30] [R]: no space left on my myth backend
[01:58:43] [R]: is all hope lost?

[01:59:34] wagnerrp: oh
[02:00:08] wagnerrp: i wonder what the affiliates take is on this
[02:00:24] wagnerrp: whether or not they actually stand to make any money off TW paying Fox
[02:00:32] wagnerrp: or if they only stand to lose if theyre no longer carried by cable
[02:01:08] [R]: well i saw no explosions in the backend log
[02:01:09] abqjp: iamlindoro: my sister had no CBS via Dish for almost 6 months in a similar dispute.
[02:01:10] [R]: and it was idle the whole time

[02:01:54] wagnerrp: [R]: you never rotated it?
[02:02:01] wagnerrp: mythtv logs a LOT by default
[02:02:06] [R]: nah, the backend log rotates
[02:02:12] [R]: 1gb for /home
[02:02:42] sphing: I'm sure I have a small use case, but why is a channel one to one with a video source? Is it not common use case to have a channel across multiple video sources?
[02:03:31] [R]: sphing: so you make 2 channels with identical callsigns and numbers
[02:03:34] [R]: sphing: then its the same thing
[02:04:19] wagnerrp: [R]: then what is 6.8GB?
[02:04:35] sphing: if I setup a recording on one of those channels and the input is being used for a different recording will it automatically fail over to the second input?
[02:04:41] [R]: home is 1g, opt is 2g, usr is 1.4g and var is 1.8
[02:04:44] [R]: wtf is 2g in opt
[02:04:48] [R]: oh
[02:04:53] [R]: that would be my frontend
[02:04:58] [R]: ok, i guess it adds up
[02:05:17] [R]: ha
[02:05:20] [R]: /var/log is 1g
[02:05:55] [R]: even though i'm rotating... some of those mythbackend logs are huge
[02:06:08] [R]: i get tons of h264 errors
[02:06:28] sixup (sixup!n=sixup@24.229.205.18.res-cmts.sm.ptd.net) has joined #mythtv-users
[02:07:35] sphing: if I have the same channel on two different sources and I setup a recording on said channel with myth select which ever tuner is not in use?
[02:07:47] [R]: sphing: yup... thats the whole point
[02:08:02] wagnerrp: sphing: depends on the recording rule
[02:08:14] wagnerrp: if you tell it to record on a specific channel, that means that channel on that source
[02:08:20] sphing: [R]: hmm, interesting way to model that no?
[02:08:29] wagnerrp: if you tell it to do a generic record, it will pick up the show where ever it finds it
[02:08:46] [R]: well if you do it by callsign
[02:08:49] [R]: it'll pick the free tuner
[02:08:58] [R]: assuming the callsigns match up
[02:09:05] sphing: seems like channel and channel and source set are different concepts
[02:09:27] [R]: sphing: what would you do if you had 2 inputs with the same lineup? you have 1 channel source
[02:09:32] sphing: err... {channel} and {channel, source} are diff
[02:09:48] sphing: [R] I have 2 inputs, with 2 lineups
[02:09:54] [R]: then you have 2 channel sources
[02:09:58] [R]: because its 2 diffenret lineups
[02:10:17] sphing: i have an HDHR which only reads unencryped and an hd pvr which obviously gets everything.
[02:10:36] sphing: my hd pvr can obviously record whatever my hdhr can... but channels are tied to a source
[02:10:56] [R]: i have exactluy the same setup
[02:11:16] [R]: and i have 2 sources... one for my hdpvr and one for my unencrypted
[02:12:25] sphing: so if I want to record an unencrypted channel, can I setup myth to prioritize using my hdhr, but if they're both full fall back to my hd pvr?
[02:12:38] mattwynne (mattwynne!n=mattwynn@cust104-dsl58.idnet.net) has joined #mythtv-users
[02:13:35] wagnerrp: sphing: you *can* prioritize a tuner
[02:13:45] wagnerrp: but the better option is to just specify the HDHR first
[02:14:07] wagnerrp: mythtv will then only use the HDPVR if the recording cannot be found on the HDHR source, or if the HDHR is already in use
[02:14:28] sphing: wagnerrp: yes I know, but will myth understand that a channel is on two sources (assuming my recording is 'this channel only')?
[02:14:47] wagnerrp: setting priorities for things results in unexpected behavior more often than not
[02:14:58] sphing: hehe
[02:14:59] wagnerrp: no, a 'this channel only' means that specific channel in the database
[02:15:13] sphing: gotcha.
[02:15:14] wagnerrp: you will have to separate channels, one for each source
[02:15:30] [R]: i have tuner #1 be my hdpvr and tuner #2/#3 are my unencrypted... but then for my inputs... input #1/#2 is my unencyprted and input #3 is my hdpvr
[02:15:35] sphing: so I do have a small use-case? Seems like a channel should me one-to-many with channels
[02:15:46] [R]: and livetv always picks the hdpvr first, and recordings always pick the unencrypted first
[02:15:48] [R]: works out quite nicely
[02:16:21] [R]: sphing: a channel is a channel
[02:16:46] [R]: and it is part of 1 video source
[02:17:13] sphing: [R]: I understand that's how it's done today, what I'm asking is does it make sense for a channel to potentially have more than one source
[02:17:17] [R]: i'm like 95% positive
[02:17:20] [R]: the mythtv documentation
[02:17:23] [R]: explains all of this quite nicely
[02:17:28] sphing: [R]: yes you are right
[02:17:32] [R]: sphing: then you have 2 channels
[02:17:50] abqjp: sphing: I have KOAT available via OTA, cable, and satellite. I added my OTA tuners first, followed by cabled, followed by satellite. Therefore, Myth will automatically choose OTA if available, fall back to cable next, and finally use satellite.
[02:18:05] wagnerrp: sphing: your other option is to remove those channels from the HDPVR
[02:18:33] wagnerrp: if you dont want to record them on the HDPVR, just remove them from your schedulesdirect lineup
[02:19:24] sphing: Thanks, I understand that what I'm looking for can be accomplished given the current data model. All that I'm pointing out is that it's cumbersome. There are use cases where a single logical channel can be fulfilled by multiple source, so it doesn't make sense to tie a channel to a single source.
[02:19:45] abqjp: sphing: and you don't have to.
[02:20:06] wagnerrp: sphing: patches welcome... :P
[02:20:08] [R]: the documentation explains it all quite nicely and explains why it is the way it is
[02:20:40] sphing: wagnerrp: yea, wondering how much of a rework that would be (not to mention maintaining backwards compatibility would be interesting)
[02:21:29] wagnerrp: sphing: mythtv has never had any form of backwards compatibility
[02:21:51] sphing: wagnerrp, While I'm by no means committing myself to making that patch, do you think it would get accepted if I made it
[02:22:22] wagnerrp: sphing: i think it would receive significant consideration depending on how much work was put into it
[02:23:16] wagnerrp: probably the way you would want to do it would be split channel into two tables, one for identification information, and one referencing it for tuning information
[02:24:19] sphing: wagnerrp, yea, I'm actually more interested in the changes needed to be made to scheduling code.
[02:24:42] sphing: though it would make the tuner prioritization be pretty sweet
[02:25:19] wagnerrp: sphing: you can do what you want right now, but it involves writing your own sql code for 'power recordings' or something like that

[02:26:30] Led-Hed: Is there a way to force a Poster in MythVideo (0.22)
[02:26:38] sphing: but who knows... maybe I'll get fed up with it
[02:26:48] wagnerrp: Led-Hed: you mean outside of the existing grabbers?
[02:26:53] Led-Hed: when I press menu then scan, it doesnt find an image for a specific movie
[02:27:08] [R]: Led-Hed: scan doesn't find posters...
[02:27:08] sphing: anyway whtanks for your help wagnerrp, [R], and abqjp
[02:27:12] Led-Hed: wagnerrp, ya, I have a lot of posters that I have downloaded

[02:29:02] wagnerrp: so local files... then you can technically put them whereever you please
[02:29:17] wagnerrp: then just provide the absolute file in the metadata editor in the UI
[02:29:22] Led-Hed: ok, I guess I'm using posters wrong.
[02:30:04] Led-Hed: I have the path to the posters setup correctly, but new movies I've added since upgrading to 0.22 dont have images.
[02:30:31] Led-Hed: old movies still find my images/covers I've specified
[02:30:41] wagnerrp: that would only happen if the posters do not exist, or if mythfrontend does not have write access
[02:31:02] Led-Hed: it has write access
[02:31:25] Led-Hed: and the poster exists, with the exact name as the vob. only with a .jpg extension

[03:01:38] Led-Hed: I use VLC to play Ripped DVD's. But some play in Spanish on VLC and English in Xine. Anyone know if there is a way to specify an Audio Track on a per Video basis?
[03:02:20] lyricnz: vlc --help
[03:02:32] wagnerrp: Led-Hed: depends on your container
[03:02:38] wagnerrp: some allow you to specify a default
[03:02:45] Led-Hed: container?
[03:03:06] wagnerrp: others let you define languages for the tracks, and lets the players decide their defaults
[03:03:44] wagnerrp: container... multiplex to a container, you encode to a codec
[03:04:04] wagnerrp: container would be avi, mpeg, mp4, mkv, nuv
[03:04:11] Led-Hed: ok
[03:04:18] Led-Hed: they are vob's
[03:04:18] wagnerrp: codec would be mpeg1, mpeg2, asp, avc, vc1
[03:04:27] Led-Hed: mpeg2
[03:04:37] wagnerrp: a slight modification to the mpeg2 container
[03:04:52] Led-Hed: I typically just rip the Main movie without menus
[03:07:28] wagnerrp: at least in mythtv, you can select the audio channel in a video file through the on screen menu
[03:07:38] wagnerrp: i cant say about other players
[03:07:57] Led-Hed: I was just wondering if there was a way to make it the default for that player
[03:08:21] wagnerrp: for vlc or xine? this isnt the support channel for either of those
[03:09:04] Led-Hed: agreed, but there are a lot of users here with experience with both, and I was hoping that another myth user had come across my same issue.
[03:10:35] thread (thread!n=nnnnthre@unaffiliated/thread) has joined #mythtv-users
[03:11:15] thread: anyone have any idea why mute/volume might not work? I'm using pulseaudio -> alsa -> usb dac.
[03:11:35] wagnerrp: because mythtv is not designed to work with pulse audio
[03:11:36] [R]: thread: you mean aside from the fact that pulseaudio is crap and kills baby kittens?
[03:11:36] thread: I can see the "Mute On" etc OSD when I hit F9, for instance, but nothing happens
[03:11:41] lyricnz: Led-Hed: "vlc -H" gives you a lot of perhaps-useful options (>4000 lines of output)
[03:11:47] thread: aww is that the case?
[03:11:50] wagnerrp: so youre using a mixer device that does not match your actual output device
[03:11:58] [R]: hrm... isn't taht a bit repetitive though? aren't kittens by definition babies?
[03:12:01] thread: pulseaudio has worked great for me up till now...
[03:12:09] lyricnz: death to pulseaudio!
[03:12:18] wagnerrp: and technically, unless youre running a very aged version of mythtv, or forcefully making mythtv allow pulseaudio
[03:12:25] wagnerrp: pulseaudio will be disabled when mythfrontend starts up
[03:12:30] thread: ahh
[03:12:43] thread: that explains why I don't see the stream in pavucontrol
[03:13:02] thread: am I able to play music with another app while mythtv is going?
[03:13:10] wagnerrp: aside from some outliers, pulseaudio has never worked well with mythtv
[03:13:22] thread: seems to me pulseaudio is what's allowing me to have multiple apps make sound simultaneously
[03:13:25] wagnerrp: and has almost always resulted in severe audio/video sync issues
[03:13:47] wagnerrp: ALSA allows multiple programs to output sound simultaneously just fine
[03:13:57] thread: that's interesting stuff... didn't know pa/mythtv didn't mix
[03:14:44] sphery: sphing: why not just use 2 different channels?
[03:14:52] sphery: and 2 different video sources?
[03:14:56] sphery: the way it's designed
[03:15:29] wagnerrp: sphery: well the idea was that was 'cumbersome'
[03:15:30] Led-Hed: lyricnz, I tried --audio-language English, but that didnt change anything
[03:15:46] sphing: sphery, From a users perspective... I want to record show X
[03:15:57] sphing: I don't care if it's from tuner1 or tuner2
[03:16:12] sphing: I just want to record it... why should I have to figure out which tuner is available at the time?
[03:16:15] wagnerrp: sphing: generally, specific channel recordings are not recommended for that specific reason
[03:16:28] sphery: sphing: you don't... that's what callsigns are for
[03:16:45] thread: ok.. pulseaudio isn't running. I restarted mythfronted, and mute/vol still doesn't work. Audio output device: ALSA:default, Mixer Device: ALSA:default, Mixer Controls: PCM
[03:16:46] sphery: callsign says, "Treat these 2 channels with identical callsigns as the same channel."
[03:16:51] thread: anything else I could try ?
[03:17:03] sphing: sphery, There might be a nomenclature problem...
[03:17:11] wagnerrp: sphery: the 'specific channel' recording works off callsign rather than chanid?
[03:17:15] sphery: sphing: I will admit it's not at all intuitive, but it's designed such that it works in all cases
[03:17:23] sphery: wagnerrp: yep, callsign
[03:17:31] sphing: ah, then it's designed as wanted

[03:17:42] sphery: "this channel" = "the channel from which I've selected the recording and all channels with identical callsigns"

[03:17:53] sphery: s/the recording/the episode/
[03:18:11] sphery: wagnerrp: right, so if you go changing callsigns, it will mess up your rules
[03:18:24] wagnerrp: ok, thats where i got confused, because when altering or deleting the channel, that chanes as well

[03:19:40] BobLfoot (BobLfoot!n=Bob@fedora/BobLfoot) has joined #mythtv-users
[03:20:10] sphing: sphery, so then it's exactly what I want. Record on "ABC" is regardless of channel, just find a channel that's callsign is ABC
[03:20:24] sphery: What /should/ be done is the callsigns should be removed from the channel table, then stored in a separate "channelidentifier" table (not calling it callsign, because non-US people think callsign doesn't apply to them), then the channel table should reference the channelidentifier by row ID and the record table should store the channelidentifier row ID instead of channel ID
[03:20:47] sphery: or something like that
[03:20:52] iamlindoro: someone here needs a new nick

[03:21:18] wagnerrp: i cant tell you how many times i almost replied to sphery
[03:21:23] sphery: sphing: exactly... just like you said.
[03:21:55] sphery: yeah, even my autocomplete-last-spoke wouldn't have worked well in this conversation (if I weren't one of the 2 overlapping ones :)
[03:22:30] wagnerrp: and the worst part? xchat has you both colored red
[03:22:35] iamlindoro: here too
[03:22:42] wagnerrp: i cant even visually follow the conversation
[03:22:49] sphery: wagnerrp: actually, probably the best approach would be to just store the callsign text in the record table...
[03:22:55] sphery: I could do that patch very easily
[03:23:03] wagnerrp: oh no! hes talking to himself again
[03:23:24] Led-Hed: wagnerrp, do you know of an easy way to change a VOB's track order?
[03:23:26] sphing: ok, I gotta go to dinner, but I thought the table that stored recordings used chanid to identify the channel not callsign
[03:23:54] wagnerrp: sphing: correct, it stores a chanid, which it uses to pull a callsign, which is then used for the search
[03:23:57] wagnerrp: somewhat round-about
[03:24:26] wagnerrp: Led-Hed: no idea, i dont use TS containers
[03:26:12] sphery: sphing: the table uses chanid, but the scheduler uses a join to pull out callsign
[03:26:33] sphery: which is what wagnerrp said when I wasn't looking :)
[03:28:04] wagnerrp: must spend too much time looking down at that keyboard
[03:28:17] wagnerrp: need to get you one of those german keyboards

[03:42:15] wagnerrp: if you have no analog on an mpeg encoder, you most likely are trying to use it as a v4l card
[03:42:24] wagnerrp: it should be used as an mpeg encode
[03:43:22] BobLfoot: I am using IVTV MPEG-2 Encoder Card for /dev/video0.
[03:43:40] wagnerrp: are you using it as a tuner? or video capture?
[03:44:22] BobLfoot: It is setup under Capture Card Setup
[03:45:20] BobLfoot: wagnerrp: Maybe I misunderstood it is for receiving Analog Channel 4 from my Satellite receiver Output
[03:46:20] wagnerrp: if you mention 'channel', then youre using it as a tuner
[03:46:48] wagnerrp: capture card would be if you had it hooked up over composite or svideo, with RCA or 1/8" audio (which you really should be doing in that scenario)
[03:47:02] wagnerrp: if youre using it as a tuner, everything is supposed to 'just work'
[03:47:10] wagnerrp: thats the whole point of the mpeg encoder cards
[03:48:02] BobLfoot: wagnerrp: so I thought also. Maybe I'll repeat the wiki steps. Also going to remove the HVR-1800 just in case they are conflicting with each other.
[03:48:23] wagnerrp: it would appear that on the 1600 (probably due to some issues in the driver which may be fixed by now), you have to trigger one recording on boot
[03:48:45] wagnerrp: there is a script on that page you linked when explains exactly how to do that

[08:39:25] k_ross: so i seem to have the windows version working now. is there any type of hardware acceleration of video decoding on the windows version? my guess is no....
[08:41:59] wagnerrp: k_ross: probably the standard directx acceleration
[08:42:17] wagnerrp: all the same stuff as Xv
[08:42:39] k_ross: right, just the standard scaling and color space conversion, but no codec decoding

[08:49:12] [R]: wagnerrp: whats the point of the oldrecorded table?
[08:49:42] wagnerrp: to keep track of old recordings, of course
[08:50:13] [R]: lol
[08:50:18] [R]: and what does it do with the information
[08:50:29] wagnerrp: store... for ever, and ever, and ever
[08:50:39] [R]: lol
[08:51:09] wagnerrp: i being serious
[08:51:28] wagnerrp: its for matching future recordings against ones that have already been recorded
[08:51:42] wagnerrp: duplicate tracking
[08:51:44] [R]: oh, so i dont record thigns that were already recorded
[08:51:51] wagnerrp: correct
[08:52:19] wagnerrp: if the 'duplicate' field is one, it will block all but a forced recording
[08:52:38] wagnerrp: it probably has the same behavior for any value 1–9
[08:52:45] wagnerrp: at 10, it would probably break
[08:55:33] [R]: its not going to expire stuff unless i run low on space right?
[08:55:46] wagnerrp: recordings, no
[08:55:55] wagnerrp: livetv gets expired after 24 hours (i believe)
[08:57:52] [R]: is there a list somewhere of the names of the differnet storage groups?
[08:59:13] wagnerrp: not that i know of
[08:59:37] wagnerrp: youve got Default and LiveTV for recordings, plus any additional ones you create and tell it to record to
[09:00:15] [R]: well like mythvideo has a bunch
[09:00:33] wagnerrp: and then theres Videos, Trailers, Fanart, Banners, Screenshots, Coverart for mythvideo

[09:04:07] [R]: what kind of stuff?
[09:04:21] wagnerrp: rocket science
[09:04:24] [R]: fancy
[09:04:36] [R]: i work on software defined radios
[09:04:37] wagnerrp: specifically, compressor design
[09:04:54] wagnerrp: computational simulation of compressors
[09:05:00] [R]: sounds complicated
[09:05:52] wagnerrp: well its all based around a set of five equations
[09:06:38] wagnerrp: compounded by several decades worth of flow modeling because we dont have the computational capacity to run those equations directly for any useful geometry
[09:06:58] [R]: i hate math
[09:11:18] wagnerrp: well you certainly wouldnt like my field then
[09:11:26] wagnerrp: its ALL math
[09:11:32] wagnerrp: primarily differential equations
[09:12:19] wagnerrp: basically discretized calculus
[09:12:22] [R]: yeah, i deal with RF... and theres tons of math there... and it just totally goes over my head

[13:08:42] xand: install an OS to the usb stick as if it were a harddisk

[17:37:32] |Fleck|: LNBs
[17:37:57] wagnerrp: usually that means your provider has shifted programs around within the multiplex
[17:38:14] wagnerrp: and myth found it through some other means, channame or something
[17:38:28] elmojo: sphery: it was at least a good laugh... great way to start the new year

[17:38:46] |Fleck|: wagnerrp and?
[17:39:17] wagnerrp: and? fix your channel table
[17:39:23] wagnerrp: rescan with minimal updates

[17:40:38] sphery: gbee got funnier in 2010 :)

[17:53:24] |Fleck|: maybe my compilation doesn't work OK
[17:53:40] elmojo: |Fleck|: I have my doubts that is your issue
[17:54:11] |Fleck|: elmojo no all freq. i scanned 12073000hz and there are more channels, but all without epg ;)
[17:54:17] elmojo: if you don't mind restarting from scratch then you could wipe you database and start afresh
[17:54:23] |Fleck|: noone works

[18:12:07] |Fleck|: who can tell me – what is the correct way to set input sources – one for each LNB or one for all

[18:14:59] sphery: er, nvm...

[18:48:00] Dagmar: My Logitech headset doens't.
[18:48:04] thread: they're meant to output a fixed, line-level signal
[18:48:08] thread: it's not a dac
[18:48:17] thread: dacs do not have volume controls
[18:48:33] Dagmar: That doesn't mean the USB devices driving them can't.
[18:48:48] thread: you mean drivers prolly?
[18:48:56] Dagmar: ...and yes, I can assure you it has a DAC in it.
[18:49:00] Dagmar: I wouldn't be hearing much if it weren't.
[18:49:03] thread: of course
[18:49:08] thread: it has an amp part also, though
[18:49:16] thread: there is no amp part involved in a dac

[18:52:00] Dagmar: thread: Are you for sure using ALSA and not OSS?
[18:52:05] thread: and further, the interface confuses me... I would expect to see more options when I DISABLE it.
[18:52:12] Dagmar: This guy, for instance, is screwed http://i27.tinypic.com/ienz2x.jpg
[18:52:12] thread: instead, I get more control when it is enabled.
[18:52:15] Dagmar: He's using OSS
[18:52:30] Dagmar: You can tell because he's got /dev/dsp showing--not ALSA:default
[18:52:32] wagnerrp: 'internal volume control' just means myth's volume controls work, and work directly on the mixer device given
[18:52:35] thread: wagnerrp: I like to play music and mute the tv
[18:52:47] thread: Dagmar: yeah. I'm an alsa.
[18:52:59] wagnerrp: not 'internal volume control' means youre going to control volume entirely through the external amp
[18:53:19] wagnerrp: now you could argue that would be a perfect place to offer a script for an IR blaster
[18:53:22] thread: I've got ALSA:Default it a couple places
[18:53:43] wagnerrp: but no one has found the need (and the will to program it)
[18:54:09] Dagmar: In theory ALSA can manage to control audio levels wihtout a mixer device, but it's a big pain in the ass that requires reading ALSA docs
[18:54:28] thread: I totally expected "internal volume control" to mean mythtv was going to adjust its own volume in a software mixer mode, and not worry about the system's mixers
[18:54:33] Dagmar: Nope.
[18:55:09] Dagmar: This URL *may* help with the creation of a virtual mixer device http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php/How_to_use_ . . . aster_volume

[18:55:30] Dagmar: If you go mad as a result of reading it, don't mention my name to CNN
[18:55:48] Dagmar: ALSA docs somewhat assume you already know ALSA like the back of your hand
[18:55:50] thread: I'm afraid, though, that it will change the volume of the music just the same
[18:55:56] thread: and I wanted to change them independently
[18:56:05] thread: lol what's CNN got to do with this?
[18:56:27] Dagmar: If my name comes out of Nancy Grace's mouth, I'll hunt you down and kill you.
[18:56:30] Dagmar: It's pretty simple
[18:56:35] thread: lol
[18:57:13] Dagmar: If you want to control the volume of the music and the TV separately, you're going to have to create two softmixers and configure them separately wihtin MythMusic and Myth
[18:57:17] Dagmar: I'm not entirely sure that's possible
[18:57:22] thread: hah
[18:57:33] thread: this is why I pretty well liked the idea of pulseaudio
[18:57:33] Dagmar: I've not looked at the controls for MythMusic in a long time
[18:57:37] thread: it seemed to solve all this
[18:57:39] Dagmar: PulseAudio won't help you
[18:57:51] thread: ...because it doesn't work with mythtv?
[18:58:24] Dagmar: If you want to control music levels and TV levels separately, you'll still need to configure each to use a different output, even if one is virtual
[18:58:54] Dagmar: PulseAudio is a sound server whose primary job is keeping things from coming ot a screetching halt when more than one thing tries to output to the same sound card at the same time
[18:58:57] squish103 is now known as squish102
[18:59:10] Dagmar: Generally, cheapass cards and chipsets can only handle one stream of audio at a time
[18:59:11] thread: yeah, I've never geeked out too seriously on alsa, though I suppose this might be an opportunity
[18:59:18] thread: but you're not even sure it's possible to do what i need
[18:59:33] Dagmar: If something's already playing, the sound card is effectively blocked from anything else's use
[18:59:40] Dagmar: I'm sure it's possible
[18:59:44] Dagmar: it'll just be a huge pain in the ass
[19:00:10] Dagmar: You can make ALSA "upmix" a 2-channel stereo output to 5.1, up to and including the filtering necessary for the subwoofer
[19:00:11] Dagmar: It
[19:00:16] Dagmar: It's just a big pain in the ass
[19:00:27] thread: pusleaudio seems to hook programs' audio outputs... allowing them to think they're using straight ALSA, even... and multiplex them into one stream for even "cheapass cards"
[19:00:29] Dagmar: I actually documented part of that on the myth wiki when I was trying to figure it out
[19:00:37] Dagmar: Here's the problem.
[19:00:45] Dagmar: ALSA can *already* mux outputs using dmix
[19:00:46] thread: ... AND allow me to independently change levels with like pavucontrol
[19:00:57] Dagmar: dmix is generally built right into everyone's alsa config by default now
[19:01:14] Dagmar: It just occasionally screws up and thinks it's dealing with a better sound card than it ha
[19:01:25] thread: oic
[19:01:25] wagnerrp: mythmusic wont keep playing when you exit it will it?
[19:01:34] thread: i haven't tried mythmusic
[19:01:35] Dagmar: ....but dmix is what ALSA already uses to eliminate that problem, basiclaly
[19:01:36] iamlindoro: it will if you set it to
[19:01:42] iamlindoro: (through the miniplayer
[19:01:54] Dagmar: That way it can crash silently in the background.  ;)
[19:01:57] wagnerrp: ok, i didnt think that was going to happen until it got mythui'd
[19:02:09] iamlindoro: the miniplayer has been mythui'd
[19:02:24] wagnerrp: ah
[19:02:36] Dagmar: MythMusic has had the option of playing in the background since 0.21-fixes at least
[19:03:06] Dagmar: My gf managed to bug the hell out of me one afternoon because she couldn't figure out why her music was still playing and I had to stop hacking to fix it
[19:03:38] thread: might have to check out mythmusic... I would prefer to use my MoC, though
[19:04:19] Dagmar: It's buggy and it's playlist functionality is awkward
[19:04:37] thread: doesn't anyone else want mythtv to have a software mixer? that would completely solve my problem :/
[19:04:45] thread: I know apps do this... I've seed it.
[19:04:50] thread: seen, even
[19:04:50] Dagmar: That having been said, I'll be damned if I can think of any way to make selecting music from a big pile using only four buttons *not* be a pain in the ass

[19:05:42] wagnerrp: there is softvol code in myth now, but thats intended for passthrough digital
[19:06:02] Dagmar: http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/ALSA_upmixing <-- this may help a bit
[19:06:42] Dagmar: It's details taper off because when I was writing it and got to the end, I realized that while what I did *worked*, and I read the ALSA docs to figure it out, I really still didn't understand WTF was going on in it
[19:06:48] Dagmar: Their documentation sucked that hard
[19:07:01] thread: hah
[19:07:09] Dagmar: ...but it *does* illustrate the creation of a softmixer
[19:08:23] thread: but this won't let me control the mythtv volume independent of the rest of the system
[19:08:28] thread: which is really what i need
[19:08:32] thread: right?
[19:09:51] Dagmar: *sigh*

[19:10:21] Dagmar: that's one of hte pages I read while I was figuring it out here
[19:10:24] Dagmar: Lemme put this simply
[19:10:44] Dagmar: That wiki page I linked was to make ALSA pass audio through a virtualized output
[19:10:52] thread: right, I get that
[19:11:09] Dagmar: I had a stereo audio source, and I wanted ALSA to handle the heavy lifting of splitting it out to six speakers
[19:11:33] Dagmar: You're basically creating a *virtual* device for ALSA-enabled software to send audio to
[19:11:43] Dagmar: There's no restriction on *how many of these* you might have
[19:11:56] Dagmar: There is a degree to which it *ALREADY* has many of these
[19:12:15] thread: so i should be able to create one for mythtv
[19:12:21] thread: it would have its own mixer knob
[19:12:24] Dagmar: Like, for instance, `speaker-test -c6 -Dsurround51` sends audio to the virtual 'surround51' device
[19:12:31] Dagmar: yes
[19:12:32] thread: and i could configure mtv to use ALSA:mythtv
[19:13:32] sphery: okolsi: fwiw, danielk's commit at http://svn.mythtv.org/trac/ticket/7836#comment:3 may prevent the problem that triggered the Qt bug
[19:14:02] thread: Dagmar: that's very helpful... I'll have to experiment in this direction.
[19:14:24] thread: Thanks, Dagmar & everyone
[19:14:42] Dagmar: Just be glad you're not dealing with JACK

[19:17:40] Dagmar: Maybe MTV4 or something has a schedule
[19:17:44] wagnerrp: i didnt realize mtv had any form of quality programming one would care to record
[19:17:48] Dagmar: 1 & 2 are just commercials 24/7
[19:18:14] wagnerrp: and unreality tv
[19:18:48] gizmobay: the kids like it
[19:19:31] gizmobay: SD says the show goes from 10–11 but the majority of them get clipped
[19:20:32] Dagmar: So turn up the preroll/postroll times so it records ten minutes before and after on that channel
[19:20:57] Dagmar: ...or tell your kids to stop listening to that crap music and go to a local venue

[20:04:54] danlench: the dvd transcoding is wonky also. i didn't check the md5 for the iso or the disc before i installed like i usually do so maybe there is a systemic problem in the install that i'm unaware of. it is 64 and from a clean install since the upgrade borked everything up.
[20:06:16] danlench: wonky as in it doesn't work or gather the name of the disc

[21:51:39] [R]: mangus580_: and your point?
[21:51:59] mangus580_: sorry, 22594
[21:52:01] justinp_home: Right on. I think I'll do the upgrade, and then see if it takes care of the issues I've been having before I start working on those
[21:52:03] mangus580_: you said to update to fixes
[21:52:07] [R]: mangus580_: yes... i did

[21:53:58] kc: mangus580_: See http://www.mythbuntu.org/auto-builds
[21:57:02] mangus580_: would you suggest upgrading to 0.23?
[21:57:10] kc: no
[21:57:24] kc: Just do 22-fixes with the auto-builds

[21:58:38] mkrufky: (using vdpau, of course)
[21:59:38] kc: clipping or tearing?
[21:59:44] mkrufky: tearing, actually — thanks

[22:06:57] mangus580_: that seems to have helped it
[22:07:18] mangus580_: would vdpau effect recording?
[22:07:58] Dagmar: You shold probably read up on what that is before you ask any more questions
[22:08:21] mangus580_: thanks dagmar.... complex answer to a simple question
[22:09:18] Dagmar: Thanks whining, newb
[22:09:34] Dagmar: it's always great to get bitched at for making a suggestion that will prevent making people think you're clueless
[22:10:04] mangus580_: Dag, I asked a simple yes/no question thats all
[22:10:27] mangus580_: the reason I asked, is because turning on vdpau didnt seem to fix the recording I have that was playing jerky
[22:10:28] iamlindoro: Dagmar, You may not have been around when we made the announcement, but we're going to be enforcing courteous treatment (especially of new users) in the channel a lot more diligently. Please watch the language and just leave them alone if you don't want to be friendly
[22:10:30] Dagmar: And I suggested politely that you should at least do the least bit of google searching before asking any more stupid questions
[22:10:32] kc: mangus580_: no, it will not affect recordings
[22:10:34] iamlindoro: mangus580_, No, it will not affect recording
[22:10:53] Dagmar: It's pretty much impossible for it to affect recording.
[22:11:16] mangus580_: so I wanted a quick answer... thanks guys, i had already gone looking since it was obvious Dagmar couldnt answer it
[22:11:17] kc: mangus580_: but you should read up on what VDPAU is. It's a way to playback recordings and has nothing to do with recording.
[22:11:27] Dagmar: I should put up with people being abusive?
[22:11:39] iamlindoro: Dagmar, No, but they shouldn't put up with you doing so either
[22:11:48] Dagmar: Well, childish as it may sound _he started it_
[22:11:53] iamlindoro: mangus580_, Just let it go, please, I've addressed it

[22:12:16] mangus580_: thanks iamlindoro
[22:12:56] Dagmar: I guess I'm just not accustomed to using such small words
[22:13:49] iamlindoro: Dagmar, honestly, that's enough. I like you, but you come on way, way too strong with the new users sometimes. We need to turn around the way this community is seen, and a big part of it is how new users are treated here
[22:14:13] iamlindoro: I don't mean to single you out, it's something that I hope we will be applying to everyone, and if I'm harsh with someone, I expect to be called on it too
[22:14:57] Dagmar: So, I sincerely hope you intend to apply this same standard to the newbies who think it's okay to act like a jerk to the people who would otherwise help them
[22:15:18] iamlindoro: Yes, absolutely. If someone is abusive to people trying to help them I will absolutely take action
[22:15:25] mangus580_: Dagmar, i wasnt trying to be a jerk
[22:15:38] iamlindoro: w/I/we/
[22:15:46] iamlindoro: er s/w/s/
[22:15:47] Dagmar: mangus580_: Yes. You were. You got pissy because I told you to search.
[22:15:56] mangus580_: I was trying to poke a little fun, I know how you feel about 'n00bs'
[22:16:00] Dagmar: ...and you were even classy enough to try taking parting shots.
[22:16:07] mangus580_: wasnt meant to be pissy
[22:16:15] Dagmar: Alright. Good enough
[22:16:20] Dagmar: (not being sarcastic, it's fine)
[22:16:22] mangus580_: until you took it wrong :-)
[22:17:24] Dagmar: Well, I'm a little tweaked up on it right now because I've got my new fans ordered, and I've been going carefully through a bunch of docs on vdpau to try to sort out what is hte easiest way to tell people how "well" vdpau will work on a given card
[22:17:54] Dagmar: The idea that a playback-only element could affect recording just sounds incredibly bizarre
[22:18:00] wagnerrp: Dagmar: check out qvdpautest
[22:18:13] kc: Dagmar: how well will it work with my card? :p
[22:18:21] iamlindoro: VDPAU actually allows one to DMA the raw frames back out, though nobody has actually used that part of the API yet
[22:18:23] Dagmar: kc: I've no idea
[22:18:29] kothog (kothog!n=kothog@unaffiliated/kothog) has joined #mythtv-users
[22:18:38] Dagmar: Wikipedia's page breaks it down into "feature sets" that appear to be from nVidia's documentation
[22:18:49] iamlindoro: so you could theoretically decode high bitrate stuff, pull out the frames (like with the CrystalHD decoder) and do whatever processing you wnat on them (think commflagging)
[22:18:59] wagnerrp: and either way, it would make exactly no difference to recording, since no processing is done on pre-encoded video
[22:19:02] kc: Ya, I know, I am just poking some fun  :)
[22:19:20] mangus580_: sorry Dag... bear with me, sometimes when I am in here, I will ask something that is on my mind as I go to start researching it
[22:19:25] mangus580_: when I asked it... was because I just had a difference between live tv and a recordding
[22:19:26] wagnerrp: iamlindoro: just imagine the bitching on the mailing lists from people with PCI cards
[22:19:30] Dagmar: kc: Hell, give me a few more days to look at this and I'll probably be able to tell you in dollar amounts per feature
[22:19:32] iamlindoro: wagnerrp, hehe, yeah
[22:19:33] mangus580_: and I said to myself 'self, could vdpau' effect it
[22:20:05] mangus580_: asked here, and started to research more on vdpau (since I havent yet, as MY setup at home is SD – I am setting up dad's new stuff now which is HD)
[22:20:08] Dagmar: Did you perhaps do the thing I did and set liveTV to use very close to the same res as your display, and recordings to use a higher res?
[22:20:31] mangus580_: dont think so, since its all default
[22:20:36] kc: Dagmar: I don't want that. I know I overpaid for a GTS 250 since I won't be gaming on my myth box
[22:20:41] Dagmar: I mean, even my PVR-500 can record at 720x480, but there's little point in having LiveTV set to that mode
[22:20:56] iamlindoro: Hmm, so BBC America is moving closer to airing shows in parity with the UK, but airing Dr. Who one day later is just plain silly
[22:21:09] Dagmar: kc: yeah well, people wiht 7800's and 8800's might disagree
[22:21:16] Dagmar: Some of both don't do a bit of it
[22:21:47] Dagmar: iamlindoro: Soeone's getting kickbacks from Piratebay
[22:21:47] Dagmar: ;)
[22:22:16] iamlindoro: heh
[22:22:38] iamlindoro: I'm betting they probably reduce piracy with this kind of thing, but at this point there's no compelling reason they can't just air it

[22:23:24] Dagmar: I'm thinking it's probabl got to do with the time difference
[22:23:52] iamlindoro: presumably the episode has been in the can for a while... they could have probably swam it here in time
[22:23:59] Dagmar: Like, the new episode _just_ aired a couple hours ago, right?
[22:24:17] iamlindoro: I know it aired "tonight" for the UK, it airs tomorrow here
[22:24:18] Dagmar: It's 4 in the afternoon here
[22:24:34] Dagmar: It would have aired at what, 1pm?
[22:24:49] iamlindoro: It doesn't have to air at the same time, simply the same day would do
[22:25:34] Dagmar: I figure they're allocating themselves a longer-than-six-hours window for delivery to BBCA or something

[22:26:22] iamlindoro: I suspect it's been sitting at BBC for quite some time
[22:26:28] Dagmar: If they have more than six hours, they actually have a chance to show advertisers viewership numbers and get them to pay for ads on the spot

[22:29:51] wagnerrp: i mean even if i do hit recursion by fault of my own, python is supposed to detect and break
[22:30:07] wagnerrp: ive somehow managed to fool it
