is there a way for me to force mythtv to trust channels.conf import to be right?

[00:07:46]

it keeps labelling channels as 'encrypted' when they aren't

yeah, I'm not getting anything from the logs, it just says "Unknown encoder"... when I google around for help on this issue there are a few people who talk about it

[00:17:48]

hachi:

but nobody answers their questions

[00:18:27]

hachi:

I thought restarting the whole system would let it load up the encoders again, so it's no longer 'unknown', but that doesn't seem to be the case

mazda01:

what does this mean from the mythweb backend status page; "space used by deleted recordings: 27,847 MB" I want to clear that space out, I am running out of space and I don't want deleted recordings taking up space

[00:21:00]

wagnerrp:

it means you have mythtv set to autoexpire recordings, rather than delete immediately

[00:21:20]

hachi:

there's a tickybox in the setup somewhere

[00:21:29]

wagnerrp:

in the event you run into your low space threshold, those will be the first to go

[00:22:53]

mazda01:

wagnerrp, well mythtv backend status also has this, "Space Used by Auto-expirable Recordings: 23,280 MB"

[00:23:30]

mazda01:

im fine with the auto-expire number I just don't get the space being used by deleted recordings. why would recordings that are "deleted" take up any space?

[00:23:47]

hachi:

they're just flagged as deleted

[00:23:52]

hachi:

they're still in your system

[00:23:55]

wagnerrp:

those are ones that can be expired, but you have no deleted

[00:24:00]

hachi:

in case you want to undelete them, or whatever

[00:24:31]

wagnerrp:

if you want things deleted when you hit delete, you need to change that setting

[00:24:32]

hachi:

free disk space is wasted disk space, in general

[00:24:46]

wagnerrp:

otherwise theyll just sit around until mythtv needs the space

mazda01:

i normally just delete recordings through mythweb as I don't really use mythfrontend to much based on my viewing setup. so where can I find these recordings that are "marked" deleted but aren't?

[00:25:30]

wagnerrp:

japanese man arrested for going 117mph in a 31... using his youtube video as evidence

[00:25:44]

wagnerrp:

same place you find recordings that arent marked as deleted

[00:25:48]

wagnerrp:

in your recordings folders

[00:26:02]

wagnerrp:

exactly nothing on them has changed

[00:26:12]

wagnerrp:

except a bit was flipped in a database table referencing them

[00:26:28]

hachi:

does anyone have any ideas on me debugging this unknown encoder problem?

[00:26:50]

wagnerrp:

never seen such a thing

[00:27:29]

hachi:

yeah, but there's got to be something I can do to debug it... I don't even see it trying to open a connection to the backend with that card in it

[00:27:30]

mazda01:

wagnerrp, well i don't look for checkbox's and what not in the recordings folder. i am asking where i can see exactly which recordings are marked for deletion but aren't deleted

[00:27:59]

wagnerrp:

dont know, never used that feature

[00:28:01]

hachi:

the rows are in the database, everything seems fine

[00:28:52]

hachi:

or alternately my problem of channels.conf not being trusted, and mythtv basically scans the channels anyways when I try to import it

[00:30:59]

mzb:

I've just updated again (trunk). Although I remember reading something about increased transparency I'm not quite sure if this is the issue.

[00:31:20]

mzb:

I'm using the blue-abstract-wide theme and the selected item is "invisible"

[00:31:40]

mzb:

(both in main menus and in the recordings list)

[00:31:44]

wagnerrp:

yep... covered in trac

[00:32:02]

mzb:

ah, ok ... blue-abstract specific?

[00:32:06]

wagnerrp:

from like 3 weeks ago

[00:32:31]

mzb:

k

[00:32:40]

oobe:

there is a script that fixes it

[00:32:48]

wagnerrp:

not specific to any theme

[00:33:37]

mzb:

http://svn.mythtv.org/trac/ticket/8034

[00:33:39]

mzb:

hehe

[00:33:51]

mzb:

not any theme? that's a neat trick

[00:33:56]

** mzb reads the ticket **

[00:34:26]

mzb:

ah

[00:34:47]

** mzb updates blue-abstract **

[00:35:08]

mazda01:

it must have been due to deleting the recordings through mythweb and they just didn't get deleted yet. i noticed they were all recordings i just clicked on delte in mythweb less than 10 minutes ago.

[00:35:34]

wagnerrp:

recordings deleted through mythweb behave exactly the same as recordings deleted through the frontend

[00:36:21]

wagnerrp:

in both cases, it doesnt do anything on its own

[00:36:28]

wagnerrp:

it just issues a delete command to the backend

[00:36:44]

gbee:

mzb: some non-backwards compatible changes were made which broke themes, it was unfortunately necessary and unavoidable but done now so that we could hopefully avoid similar breakage in the future

[00:37:27]

mzb:

nm, it's all good

[00:37:44]

mzb:

thanks gbee ... doesn't worry me :)

[00:41:13]

jolaren:

Except for beeing able to jump forward and backwards in live tv what makes Mythtv better then Kaffeine?

[00:42:29]

gbee:

for livetv?

[00:42:34]

mazda01:

wagnerrp, well within mythfrontend, i went to backend status and then auto expire list, found them marked as deleted, i don't think i have ever noticed that when i delete recordings through mythweb that they didn't get deleted

[00:43:42]

jolaren:

gbee: I guess anytihng, kaffeine can record programs to.. right?

[00:44:12]

wagnerrp:

on a schedule?

[00:44:51]

jolaren:

I thought so, but then again I've only installed Kaffeine and used it for a few mins

[00:47:18]

mzb:

jolaren: mythtv is (generally) best as a dedicated (set of) machine(s) [imo]

[00:47:42]

mzb:

ie: mythtv is almost a set of applications as opposed to a single one

[00:48:02]

jolaren:

Thanks for the clarifications

[00:48:05]

mzb:

or a "complete solution" as opposed to an application

[00:48:36]

mzb:

I suspect the devs have a better|different interpretation, but ^^ works for me

jolaren: for occassional use on a desktop, kaffeine et al might suite some, mythtv is a dedicated media centre, designed to be used on purpose built machines connected to TVs, projectors etc, it's distributed architecture means that you can record with one box and watch on any TV in the house with multiple frontends etc

[00:49:26]

hachi:

crap, need new firmware

[00:49:29]

hachi:

hate this game

[00:49:35]

jolaren:

I have my box connected to a projector

[00:49:44]

jolaren:

I tested Kaffeine because I can't get all my channels to work

[00:50:01]

mzb:

ie: I don't reckon Kaffeine would could do this: http://www.users.on.net/~marcusbrutus/mythtv/ . . . loungetv.jpg

[00:50:12]

jolaren:

and I love Mythv for several reasons, I just wish I wouldn't have choosen a dvb-t subscribtion

[00:50:19]

mzb:

(and be completely controlled with a wii-remote;)

[00:50:25]

jolaren:

Because from what I've understand you don't need modules and cams etc to view dvb-c

[00:50:43]

mzb:

I have 4x dvb-t

[00:50:49]

mzb:

(.tas.au)

[00:50:50]

wagnerrp:

think of it this way.... mythtv is an appliance, kaffeine is an application

[00:51:03]

wagnerrp:

jolaren: you generally do need CAMs to record DVB-C

[00:51:05]

jolaren:

Do you have encrypted channels in australia?

[00:51:13]

mzb:

not on FTA

[00:51:25]

gbee:

mythtv also a feature set that no other media players can match (not even going to try and list them all)

[00:51:27]

mzb:

there are on DVB-S

[00:51:31]

jolaren:

I'm just stoked about all the hassle

wondered where it came from ;)

[00:52:09]

jolaren:

I mean as it is now I'm so annoyed.

[00:52:16]

wagnerrp:

i mean ours used to look identical to that

[00:52:19]

jolaren:

I can't view the channels I pay for, such a waste.

[00:52:33]

wagnerrp:

had a different actual fireplace

[00:52:42]

mzb:

ah

[00:52:43]

wagnerrp:

but the stone like that, and the wood mantle

[00:52:47]

wagnerrp:

looked identical

[00:53:10]

and why is it prohibited to discuss teh cam module? i mean I can't watch the channels i pay for without it

[00:55:33]

wagnerrp:

you can talk about CAMs all you want

[00:55:42]

wagnerrp:

you cannot talk about softCAMs, or card sharing

[00:56:19]

wagnerrp:

as in 95% of use cases, they exist to steal television

[00:56:29]

jolaren:

Oh, I am not intressted in cardsharing. I just want to use my Boxer subscribtion with my card to make it work with my computer

gbee:

and you can't talk about softcam because we can't police who is just accessing a legitimate subscription and who isn't, if we let the former discuss it then all those doing it illegally would claim they have valid subscriptions – plus it's normally a violation of Terms and Conditions for the cable/sat provider anyway so verboten for that reason anyway

the s-mor-gas-board totally seems american given the food it typically applies to

[01:04:28]

apparently verboten does appear in the OED, making it officially part of the English language

[01:04:44]

wagnerrp:

i know a couple swedes

[01:04:55]

kormoc:

are they chefs? Bork bork brok

[01:05:03]

wagnerrp:

ill be driving to lunch, and one of them gets a call and starts talking in swedish

[01:05:43]

jolaren:

The pro's of speakin Swedish is that you understand parts of any german language

[01:05:53]

wagnerrp:

i swear it sounds like gibberish

[01:06:05]

wagnerrp:

there is no other language ive ever heard that sounds more foreign to my ear

swedes also have easy to adapt to new langauge, most swedes livin abroad handles the language in question flawlessly

well now I'm getting even more confused

highzeth: i'd care to disagree tho

[01:07:15]

wagnerrp:

which makes it even weirder when they break into swedish

[01:07:19]

gbee:

to me a lot of german sounds like English with a strong accent, you can pick up the general drift of what is being said, the spelling however is alien

[01:07:30]

hachi:

mythtv is labelling my channels as "UNKNOWN 68#1" and things like that

[01:07:37]

iamlindoro:

helps that English is Germanic

[01:07:44]

gbee: tho swedes dont have that german clingin sound in their vocabulary

NightMonkey (NightMonkey!~NightMonk@pdpc/supporter/professional/nightmonkey) has quit (Remote host closed the connection)

but my channel editor in mythweb, and the channel editor in mythtv-setup are both not showing these strings anywhere

[01:08:16]

hachi:

restart the whole system, where are these channel callsigns coming from

[01:08:16]

kormoc:

hachi: because UNKNOWN is a string you can set in mythfrontend's settings

[01:08:19]

hachi:

not the database

[01:08:28]

hachi:

where in the frontend?

[01:08:38]

gbee:

hachi: that's how it automatically labels channels which are missing a name or callsign, or both

[01:08:49]

hachi:

I've assigned both a channel and a callsigh

[01:09:00]

hachi:

it flashes the channel number in the upper left when I cahnge channels

[01:09:11]

hachi:

and the channel editor has it shown correctly all around

[01:09:19]

kormoc:

channel number has nothing to do with name or callsign

[01:09:20]

gbee:

name and callsign, two non-numeric fields

[01:09:37]

hachi:

okay, I've filled in both of them as well

[01:09:39]

hachi:

let me look again

[01:10:07]

I have an xmlid, channel number, callsign, and name

also I can't get mythtv to use this backend for recording anything

[01:11:21]

jolaren:

and so-far it BLOWS.

[01:11:21]

wagnerrp:

didnt even know that was coming out

[01:11:28]

hachi:

it just worked earlier today

[01:11:30]

jolaren:

wagnerrp: came yesterday I believe

[01:11:42]

hachi:

I can watch live tV on it, but it won't resolve anything to be on those channels

[01:11:46]

kormoc:

it came out in theaters a few months ago

[01:12:10]

since I started with mythtv I can't have it any other way

jolaren:

What options are there if you want a subscribtion without cam modules etc

I can choose from dvb-t or dvb-c

hachi:

k

[01:15:36]

hachi:

after I edit channels do I need to run mythfilldatabase?

[01:15:50]

hachi:

cause these are all channels that are already loaded (different backend records from the same source)

[01:16:42]

mzb:

mythweb would be any easy way to find out (easier to visualise)

[01:17:04]

mzb:

but yes, if you change your channels/sources you need to redo mythfilldatabase

[01:17:07]

hachi:

mythweb doesn't distinguish whether it is listing a channel/program based on one input or another though

[01:17:25]

hachi:

so I can't say... tell if 'channel 6' is working on a particular input

[01:17:33]

hachi:

only that it is working on any input

[01:17:35]

if you just change their names? no... if you change the xmltvids, yes

[01:17:41]

ahh, okay

wagnerrp: If it's a plug in the wall.. DO i need a card for that? (I mean a CI module) or something like that

jolaren: I've not seen the film, but according to imdb comments it gets a little better towards the end, even if overall it's not a great film

[01:18:19]

[01:18:22]

wagnerrp:

i couldnt say

[01:18:25]

I'm not sure I've seen the original either, but I've seen so many films that it's all a blur

the schedule isnt stored in the db, its only in the master backend's RAM

my average time shift is 99hrs, which--not coincidentally--is the max-recordable value

(for nearly every single show I record)

same

[05:23:41]

with that 99hr limit, it becomes really rather useless for a large percentage of the mythtv user population

I mean, if you don't watch the show within the same work week it's broadcast, it's not helping

that said, I haven't found enough value to the stat to actually consider making it work with a larger range of values :)

[07:56:41]

yeah you could pull the list of known frontends from the settings table – just grab unique hostnames from 'settings.hostname' ;-)

we query the frontends who have the telnet interface enabled and check those

unless you've changed the default settings, you shouldn't be seeing 2GB/minute

then I'd have to suggest it's a driver bug

gbee: the tv shows are in teh dbase yet since I have taken them off DVD to put in myth to watch.. I was using ragetvgrab to get the details of the show to put in the dbase to be able to watch them. wagnerrp turned me onto ttvdb.py

[15:48:06]

qazwsx: you're doing it all backwards

gbee: these arent movies they are tv shows.

[15:49:38]

gbee:

same deal

[15:49:41]

wagnerrp:

qazwsx: you probably want to flush all of your video content out of mythtv first

[15:49:44]

wagnerrp:

let it rescan

[15:49:53]

wagnerrp:

and let it properly parse out season and episode numbers

[15:50:08]

wagnerrp:

the current grabber format does not work properly for TV shows unless it has those values

[15:51:25]

qazwsx:

when I got into "Watch Recordngs" and hit the menu there is not scan (of any sorts).

[15:51:34]

gbee:

agh, attached the plug with difficulty to this cable before I put it in the conduit, now I've got to redo it :/

[15:51:43]

thats because 'watch recordings' is not, and never has been mythvideo

but its having problems inserting data into the new mythvideo database schema

[15:54:37]

qazwsx:

wagnerrp: the rage script is having problems getting data from tvrage.com not the insert into the dbase.. I think they changed their website (again) and broke the script

[15:54:55]

wagnerrp:

them changing their website would have made no difference

[15:54:59]

gbee:

wagnerrp: he's inserting them as recordings ... which is messed up, but what some people did before mythvideo existed

[15:55:18]

wagnerrp:

unless your script was actually scraping the website, rather than properly using the API

[15:55:28]

wagnerrp:

in which case it should have been scrapped before it was ever written

[15:55:40]

qazwsx:

wagnerrp: the url that the script uses doesnt exist anymore. it uses an url that has been moved and changed.

[15:56:43]

qazwsx:

wasnt a page scraper but when the change from http://tvrage.com/quicklook.php..... to http://sevices.tvrage.com/<new scripts>/....

[15:56:54]

wagnerrp:

ah

[15:56:57]

qazwsx:

where the <new scripts> is replaced the single one into 4 or 5

[15:57:03]

wagnerrp:

hadnt realized there was a API change

[15:57:15]

qazwsx:

instead of one script doing all of it it is broken out.

[15:57:51]

qazwsx:

yeah.. I hacked around on the script and such before coming and asking questions..

[15:59:07]

wagnerrp:

so youre trying to insert new recordings into mythtv, rather than using mythvideo?

[15:59:26]

qazwsx:

yes.

[15:59:40]

qazwsx:

why would I put tv shows in with my movies?

[16:00:03]

qazwsx:

sorry for teh dumb questions

[16:01:13]

wagnerrp:

mythvideo is supposed to be the place for all assorted non-recording video in mythtv

[16:01:28]

wagnerrp:

if you dont want them mixed in with your movies, just put them in separate folders

[16:01:40]

wagnerrp:

have a 'Movies' folder and a 'Television' folder

[16:03:10]

qazwsx:

I will look into that.

[16:05:15]

iamlindoro:

wagnerrp: FWIW, the Rage grabber *is* a scraper, so your conclusions are correct

[16:05:43]

iamlindoro:

They have since created an API, but the script doesn't use it

if the xmltv id's aint attached to their proper channels it wont show up in the client tho, will it? Sure it will show in mythweb, albeit channel less

or that

[19:48:29]

justinh:

like you've got channels in the channel table with xmltvids (and guide data shown) but no tuning info

[19:48:36]

it will still show in the client, but you'll have two of each channel, one with and one without guide data

is mythweb somehow running off a different database than mythfrontend?

[19:49:28]

jolaren:

wagnerrp: Is that even possible? Im using the stable weekly builds

[19:49:29]

gbee:

because of the retarded way we still insert channels sourced from xmltv into the database even though most people use digital and many listings sources have never included analogue tuning info anyway

[19:49:37]

highzeth:

ok, been years since I set it up, but I seem to recall those stray channels I had wrong xmltvid's in didnt show in the client

hi, i'm thinking about building a new fe/be combined mythbox. i was thinking about getting one of those ion chipsets, they seem like really worth the money! my question now: size doesn't matter that much to me, so mini-itx is absoluety not a must, i could happely go with micro atx. would you recommend paying a little bit more for a micro atx setup or go with the mini-itx one? (is ion capable enough for combined fe/be)?

i've read alot ion does perfectly play hd content as a frontend

[19:50:43]

but combined fe/be togheter with commflagging?

[19:50:44]

justinh:

if you've got channels in the xmltv config file which don't have an association by xmltvid in the channel table, mythfilldatabase will insert them into the db as blank unusable channels with good guide data

highzeth:

beeezn: more imporantly, what tuners are you planning to get?

[19:51:47]

justinh:

you don't care about size.. get a big fugly *proper* system with enough grunt to play back anything you can throw at it, and hide it :)

[19:52:15]

wagnerrp:

yeah, an ION system works fine for a frontend

[19:52:20]

wagnerrp:

but its VERY limiting for a backend

[19:52:34]

wagnerrp:

limiting in hard drives, limiting in expansion cards

[19:52:44]

beeezn:

no power consumption is not that much of a concern, i will use one dvb-c tuner for now

[19:52:49]

wagnerrp:

and if youve got content that cannot play over VDPAU for whatever reason, youre pretty well SOL

[19:52:50]

highzeth:

beeezn: if pci(-e) tuners, setup a "oldish" box with all the tuners and as justinh says, hide it. Then get a ION as a frontend. Big + on the WAF

[19:52:54]

jolaren:

btw wagnerrp, I solved my problem (or not really but kinda) I bought a antenna splitter and one end goes to the tv and one to the server so I can atleast record the free ones

[19:52:59]

justinh:

one tuner? heh. I remember when one was enough

[19:53:02]

beeezn:

yeah it is a pci card

[19:53:26]

wagnerrp:

if power concern isnt a big issue, just get a nice AMD dual core, and nvidia microatx board

[19:53:29]

beeezn:

well those ion sets are just so cheap

[19:53:37]

beeezn:

that is why i started looking at them

[19:53:40]

wagnerrp:

should run you about as much as an ION set

[19:53:41]

justinh:

beeezn: ion will be no good for commflagging etc

[19:54:10]

beeezn:

ok wagnerrp will take a look! thx!

[20:00:12]

beeezn:

hmm, mabye i'm just blind but i can't find any good micro-atx boards with solid nvidia gpu onboard (vdpau support). most of them have amd chips onboard. but getting a dedicated nvidia gpu mean more money

[20:01:32]

wagnerrp:

the amd ones are $50-$70

[20:01:37]

highzeth:

seriously consider splitting be & fe up, and get a ION as frontend. I cannot tell you how happy we are with that setup. =)

[20:01:38]

wagnerrp:

the nvidia ones are $70-$90

[20:02:14]

beeezn:

yeah but splitting means double the money :)

[20:02:20]

beeezn:

ups

[20:02:30]

highzeth:

you *will* want another tuner (or more) in the near future, would be kinda sad if you had no pci(e) slots left in on the mobo then wouldnt it?

[20:02:33]

beeezn:

wagnerrp, you mean dedicated gpus with these prices?

[20:02:38]

wagnerrp:

you dont have an old spare machine laying around?

[20:02:55]

beeezn:

well i do have an old athlon xp 2000+ around

[20:03:05]

wagnerrp:

thats plenty good for a digital tuner

[20:03:05]

highzeth:

there you go ;)

[20:03:18]

wagnerrp:

and it will probably still be more powerful than a new Atom machine

[20:03:36]

highzeth:

and Im sure its mobo got atleast 3 pci slots?

[20:03:40]

beeezn:

yeas

[20:03:42]

beeezn:

-a

[20:04:05]

beeezn:

hmm yeah maybe i can hide that old loud machine somewhere and get an ion frontend

[20:04:06]

wagnerrp:

looks like newegg currently has two nvidia boards

[20:04:15]

highzeth:

so get a acer revo 3600/3601 as a frontend, and use the xp2000 as a be and hide it away =)

[20:04:20]

wagnerrp:

one asrock for $55, and one asus for $65

[20:04:23]

but that old xp2000 machine is loud

[20:05:24]

wagnerrp:

and the Regor chips start at $53

[20:05:29]

beeezn:

need to really hide somewhere

[20:05:30]

beeezn:

^

[20:05:38]

wagnerrp:

beeezn: so like justinh said, hide it

[20:06:27]

wagnerrp:

ive got most of my machines hidden in a cold dark corner of the basement

[20:06:56]

wagnerrp:

keeps them cool, makes the basement a bit warmer, makes my office so much more bearable

[20:07:22]

highzeth:

the only thing you might wanna consider then is the PSU in the XP box, unless it has enough grunt as-is. Toss in all the hdd's you need there

[20:07:52]

justinh:

the great thing about mythtv is that you don't *need* to have it all in one box :)

[20:07:56]

beeezn:

well the psu that is in there is actually quite new and good i think, got that one from another machine

[20:08:26]

wagnerrp:

thats a 89W chip, plus maybe 30W for all the other hardware

[20:08:42]

highzeth:

sounds like you got what you need for a good BE then, how much RAM you got in it?

[20:08:43]

wagnerrp:

a 300W in there is going to run at least 5–6 hard drives before you might run into spinup issues

[20:08:55]

beeezn:

i think its a 350

[20:08:56]

wagnerrp:

anything 1GB or more is plenty for a backend

[20:09:00]

beeezn:

1gb is in there

[20:09:02]

beeezn:

right now

[20:09:03]

justinh:

plus, keeping CPUs & GPUs cool quietly is enough of an issue without adding tuner cards & HDDs to the mix

[20:09:34]

justinh:

wagnerrp: unless it's a '300W' PSU of course. Seen plenty of those fail to stay on with even 3 HDDs coming up

[20:10:05]

wagnerrp:

ok... s/300W/actual 300W with decent 12V rails/

[20:10:17]

justinh:

heh

[20:10:27]

beeezn:

man those hdds are cheap these days, haven't bought one for years, and now i get 2tb for i use to pay for 120gb

[20:10:33]

wagnerrp:

older supplies liked to dump a lot more power onto the 3.3/5V rails

[20:10:43]

justinh:

you can count the amount of *actual* W PSUs on one hand compared to the junk that comes with the majority of cases

[20:11:39]

wagnerrp:

and some of those cheap PSUs either choke or burn up when run for extended periods at even 50W below their rated power

[20:12:39]

wagnerrp:

i imagine those cheapo 1kW 'Ultra' supplies wont even get within a few hundred watts

[20:12:50]

beeezn:

i know i said power consumption is not that much of an issue, but anyhow, the xp2000 system probably sucks up way more power than an ion?

[20:13:20]

wagnerrp:

[20:13:54]

wagnerrp:

start X manually, with a basic window manager in the background, and mythfe as the primary task

[20:14:04]

wagnerrp:

the X server will shut down as soon as the primary task exits

[20:14:14]

you can do that from gdm though, using an init file

[20:14:33]

but why bother?

[20:14:36]

it used to be .xinitrc or .Xsession, but who knows

cos it's easy

maybe he wants to have other logins that he uses when not using myth?

exit gdm? or exit TO gdm?

agreed... run MythTV 0.22-fixes (or 0.21-fixes) if they have old hardware

just like Via users can't upgrade kernels--because the driver in the new kernel breaks XvMC--they won't be able to upgrade MythTV, either

so they either stick with old versions of Myth or they upgrade hardware so they can upgrade Myth

I was unable to reproduce the segfault with trunk (see http://svn.mythtv.org/trac/ticket/7951#comment:5 ). I didn't get video, but I think that's because the clip is so short.

I tried out the software deinterlacer on a machine I only bought a few months ago (meaning it was relatively modern), and the software deinterlacers still couldn't keep up.

and if your project has smart developers who have gradually rewritten the deinterlacers to be multithreaded, which we do :)

Which is not to say that all of them are multithreaded yet, btw

devinheitmueller: What deinterlacing do you get from XvMC? Doesn't XvMC just /limit/ your choice of deinterlacers to Bob only?

[23:05:48]

sphery:

(where you can also choose bob with Xv and GL and VDPAU--if you like it)

[23:06:11]

sphery:

I may be wrong, though--I don't use XvMC.

[23:06:35]

devinheitmueller:

sphery: I believe that XvMC does let you do Bob only, but I'm talking about the performance of the standard software deinterlacers, and how poorly they perform in general, and how deinterlacing is really only feasible with XvMC (via Bob deinterlacing)

[23:08:51]

sphery:

Ah. Well, in theory kernel and one field (and maybe linear blend) should be little extra effort. Bob is definitely the least effort (but I don't know about bob 2x--or if it's even different). Though, as iamlindoro mentioned, having the deinterlacing in a separate thread (for 0.23) will be a great boon for multi-core/multi-proc systems.

[23:09:35]

sphery:

I will admit that some of the best software deinterlacing will kill even a pretty powerful system (versus an iamlindoro system, which could keep up with it :)

[23:09:37]

devinheitmueller:

Yeah, without Xvmc I've definitely seen cases where the CPU is at 100%, even on modern hardware.

[23:10:02]

devinheitmueller:

... at which point I would rather have interlaced content than frame dropping.

[23:10:15]

perhaps "is a weekday" (since the frontend uses "5 weekdays" and that's what I quoted)

[23:24:44]

sphery:

kormoc: in mythfrontend, the actual words are "5 weekdays if daily" and "7 days per week if daily" and it toggles which is displayed based on the day specified for Start Date (so the user has no idea how to change it from 5/wk to 7/wk--they don't see the "other" side of the coin/the explanation for how the decision is made)

[23:24:44]

kormoc:

wow

[23:24:59]

sphery:

I don't know JS well enough to do that type of conditional display

[23:25:23]

sphery:

and, I really believe that explaining the rules is better than forcing users to randomly change dates and figure out the pattern :)

[23:25:41]

sphery:

gbee's recommended approach is good, but that's /way/ beyond me

[23:26:28]

sphery:

Of course, this doesn't explain how the find date and find time work for find daily/find weekly rules (which is the other place we encode meaning into the starttime)

[23:27:33]

sphery:

so one day we'll get someone's ticket for that... followed by my explaining the rules, then the ticket getting closed, and then the anon user saying, "If your doctor told you to find a pill once a week, would you really think that means a week starting exactly at the point when he says that..." :)
