[01:21:20] sphery: why ubuntu-server headless? Why not just Mythbuntu and either don't plug a monitor into it or don't auto-start X/mythfrontend?

[01:31:50] Wicked: i have a video collection i would like to insert into mythtv....does mythtv stream videos like it does recordings?...ie all the videos could be on the backend....and have a remote frontend watch the videos.
[01:31:59] Wicked: or do videos have to be local to the frontend?
[01:32:32] [R]: Wicked: mythvideo in 0.22 can do storage groups from the backend
[01:33:03] Wicked: ah ok. awesome. so i should mount all my videos on the backend...then setup the videos there?
[01:33:13] Wicked: ie in mythtv-setup

[01:39:43] sphery: Wicked: read this first: http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Mythvideo
[01:40:02] sphery: it says what will work (and what will stop working) if you do MythVideo Storage Groups

[01:57:16] Chris__ (Chris__!~chatzilla@www.bigjuan.net) has joined #mythtv-users
[01:58:02] Chris__: Okay, total noob question...in 9.10, does the scraper work automagically? Or do I need to run a script to grab, say, boxart?
[01:58:15] wagnerrp: for what?
[01:58:24] Chris__: box art primarily
[01:58:29] wagnerrp: what content?
[01:58:50] Chris__: Movies...mainly .avi files, some .iso, a smattering of .mp4 files
[01:59:01] iamlindoro: I really wish *someone* would explain to them that .22 themes are not compatible with .23, that they required changes, and that any theme written against .22 would be unusable with .23
[01:59:23] Chris__: (tv shows as well, but I figure if I can find out how to get movie box art going, I can use that to figure out tv shows)
[01:59:31] wagnerrp: for mythvideo content, the built in scrapers should work against any content scanned in with 0.22
[01:59:40] iamlindoro: so it's not like we arbitrarily "made" them work only with .23, the whole point was to be voting on themes to be made available with the release they coincide with
[01:59:41] wagnerrp: tv shows will only work when scanned in after 0.22
[02:00:08] wagnerrp: there also exists jamu, packaged with mythvideo, and set up as a cron job in mythbuntu
[02:00:16] wagnerrp: which runs an external scraper for metadata
[02:00:24] wagnerrp: using the same sites as the internal grabbers in mythvideo
[02:01:18] Chris__: Okay, I'll look at jamu. But if I understand right, shouldn't 9.10 (running either .22 or .23, I can't remember which) already have obtained the box art for movies that were missing it?
[02:01:45] wagnerrp: as mentioned, jamu is set up as a cron job under mythbuntu
[02:02:15] wagnerrp: 'cron job' being a job, that is run automatically on some preset interval, using the 'cron' daemon
[02:02:28] Chris__: Gotcha. Okay, I'll go play around with jamu. Aye, I know what a cron job is ;)
[02:02:33] Chris__: Thanks for the help!

[02:03:50] wagnerrp: i mean nvidia has worked fine for the past decade, ati has been workable for several years
[02:04:22] wagnerrp: even intel has opengl support, if perhaps marginal opengl performance
[02:04:42] wagnerrp: is he speaking for all the Via and PVR-350 users?
[02:07:22] iamlindoro: Those users can suck it
[02:07:24] iamlindoro: :)
[02:07:37] iamlindoro: and by suck it, I mean use .23 for as long as they like
[02:07:44] wagnerrp: well weve been saying that for as long as i can remember in here
[02:08:24] iamlindoro: but finally we actually have an opportunity to enforce that
[02:09:50] sphery: wagnerrp: re: OpenGL, ++
[02:10:50] sphery: iamlindoro: I attempted to explain that with: http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/mythtv/users/427431#427431
[02:11:09] wagnerrp: even my 9yr old laptop runs mythtv/opengl just fine
[02:11:38] wagnerrp: of course it no longer has the power to decode any of my recordings
[02:11:49] sphery: wagnerrp: yeah, but you didn't purposefully design a system that doesn't work well for MythTV... You know, like the Via EPIA users
[02:11:53] wagnerrp: but hey, i can have a pretty menu!

[02:19:22] sphery: So, Undercover Boss is pretty good--and this coming from a guy who hates reality TV.
[02:19:32] sphery: I just have to wonder how they're going to do more than 1 season of it.
[02:19:34] iamlindoro: heh, I saw the hooters episode

[02:19:46] [R]: sphery: what is it this week?
[02:19:51] iamlindoro: think I said the same in channel
[02:20:10] sphery: Because after this season, anyone who comes into work with a camera crew saying, "They're making a documentary on entry-level permissions" will be tipping off everyone at the job site.
[02:20:16] [R]: sphery: its such a load of crap though... its just a huge pr stunt...

[02:20:42] sphery: (don't know who they are, yet--haven't watched this week's)
[02:20:48] sphery: Yeah.
[02:20:57] sphery: I think the first one--Waste Management--was the best.
[02:21:24] iamlindoro: Waste Management didn't have Hooters Girls!
[02:21:52] sphery: At the end, the CEO made changes that were a) meaningful, b) helpful to the employees (and not just token gestures), c) things that may have a long-term benefit
[02:22:06] sphery: iamlindoro: you sound like the bad manager on that episode!
[02:22:16] sphery: no reindeer games... that's just wrong
[02:22:28] ** iamlindoro makes sphery eat a plate of beans without his hands to get off early **
[02:22:29] sphery: I'm really surprised that guy let them air that.
[02:22:37] sphery: I have to wonder what he got payed for it...
[02:22:56] iamlindoro: I think that episode portrayed Hooters in a pretty positive light
[02:22:57] sphery: I hate baked beans...
[02:23:02] sphery: I'll just stay and work today.
[02:23:09] dserban (dserban!~dserban@S0106001346beb5f3.ok.shawcable.net) has joined #mythtv-users
[02:23:14] sphery: Right, Hooters in a positive light.
[02:23:14] iamlindoro: suspect he could do it for free and it probably still paid off in Hooters business
[02:23:20] sphery: That particular manager guy, not so much
[02:23:28] iamlindoro: no, not that guy :)
[02:23:32] dserban: Hooters? Where?
[02:23:33] iamlindoro: though the guy should have gotten fired
[02:23:35] sphery: I think they had to pay him off to get permission to air it
[02:23:41] sphery: I agree--he should have been fired
[02:23:44] Dibblah (Dibblah!~Dibblah@cpc2-dund11-2-0-cust57.sgyl.cable.virginmedia.com) has left #mythtv-users ("Leaving.")

[02:23:57] iamlindoro: suuuuure
[02:24:05] dserban: Oh Undercover boss. Good show, dragon's den == better.
[02:24:15] sphery: though how he can ever maintain a good working environment after that I'll never know
[02:24:25] sphery: I think he'll end up quitting
[02:24:42] sphery: after the money he got paid to let them air that part runs out
[02:25:25] sphery: heh, I said, "entry-level permissions"... /me does too much with computers
[02:25:32] Beirdo: mmmm, baked beans... the musical dish
[02:25:43] iamlindoro: chmod 000!
[02:25:48] sphery: maybe that's why he let the ones who finished go home...
[02:25:51] iamlindoro: entry level that!
[02:26:09] Beirdo: hehe
[02:26:37] Beirdo: so now the person on the mailing list is asking when the fixes to nuvexport & perl bindings will be in 0.22-fixes
[02:26:49] Beirdo: ummm, I had no plans to backport this close to release
[02:27:02] iamlindoro: agree!
[02:27:07] sphery: wouldn't entry level be 111? I.e. allows entry into the directory--but without being able to read or write it
[02:27:23] dserban: I certainly don't want to beat a dead horse ... feel free to flog me instead, but is there a release imminent or is it still buggy?
[02:27:25] ** dserban cowers **
[02:27:26] sphery: Beirdo: don't backport
[02:27:33] sphery: gotta give them a reason to upgrade :)
[02:27:41] dserban: I just haven't been 'round to know :P
[02:27:43] iamlindoro: even the release will be buggy
[02:27:43] Beirdo: as soon as we DO release, there will be massive changes to nuvexport anyways
[02:27:49] iamlindoro: this is why we have -fixes branches
[02:28:08] sphery: besides, at this point, I'm recommending trunk to a lot of people
[02:28:08] iamlindoro: and it's as imminent as it was a week or two ago-- a blocker, and no immediate plans to release on a fixed date
[02:28:27] iamlindoro: though for anyone not in the UK, the blocker is irrelevant
[02:28:34] sphery: as it's more stable than 0.22-fixes--and the only reason it's not 0.23 rc1 is because someone thinks LiveTV/MHEG is important
[02:28:40] Beirdo: ship it ;)
[02:28:42] sphery: (but not enough to actually fix it)
[02:29:07] sphery: "someone" being a lot of people
[02:29:08] Beirdo: well, either someone needs to fix it... or we should RC, no?
[02:29:14] sphery: agreed
[02:29:17] sphery: I can't fix it
[02:29:18] iamlindoro: agree
[02:29:32] Beirdo: I can't test it even if I could fix it
[02:29:32] sphery: I can't even spell MHEJ
[02:29:39] sphery: exactly
[02:30:23] Beirdo: so we are waiting on janne?
[02:30:30] sphery: sure, I could have someone in the UK get a clip, then have them make it available, then try to figure out what in the world MHEG is, then try to figure out how it's implemented, then try to figure out what's broken (as opposed to what I'm not doing right), then try to fix it, but...
[02:30:48] Beirdo: yeah, exactly
[02:31:19] iamlindoro: Beirdo, yes... it is pretty definitely a ffmpeg sync issue with the TS demuxer
[02:31:25] sphery: I don't think anyone has stepped up to volunteer to fix it
[02:31:34] iamlindoro: he has mentioned that it is on his list
[02:31:38] Beirdo: someone clueful in europe who can test it should do it :)
[02:31:38] sphery: but, yeah, most are probably expecting him to because of the sync
[02:31:39] Beirdo: hehe
[02:31:42] iamlindoro: just not sure when he has time to get to that list
[02:31:51] sphery: unfortuntaely, he's very busy with some other project(s) now

[02:32:15] iamlindoro: in fairness, several of which ultimately benefit myth
[02:32:20] Beirdo: and putting in a comment "WTH is MHEG?" would be funny but...
[02:32:27] sphery: heh
[02:32:54] dserban: iamlindoro, what's the bug number (block)?
[02:32:56] iamlindoro: I wish I could travel back 10 million years ago when the Unfortunatalons roamed the earth
[02:33:02] Beirdo: #8143
[02:33:10] Beirdo: just had it open
[02:33:38] sphery: I was /very/ happy when the "don't insert a disk when you don't want to start playing it" bug became a non-blocker earlier today
[02:34:37] dserban: hah, funny, and yeah wtf is MHEG?
[02:34:41] ** dserban fires up wikipedia **
[02:34:47] iamlindoro: yeah, and was never a blocker to begin with
[02:34:47] sphery: it's interactive TV
[02:34:59] Beirdo: and why do we care? :)
[02:34:59] wagnerrp: thats almost like 'stop hitting yourself in the head if it hurts so much'
[02:35:01] sphery: so it's basically something that's only really useful in LiveTV
[02:35:07] sphery: wagnerrp: exactly
[02:35:21] Beirdo: why can't that be fixed in -fixes?
[02:35:30] dserban: wth? interactive tv with pvr? nope. next?  :P
[02:35:37] sphery: Yeah, my recommendation is to cut an RC
[02:35:39] Beirdo: or am I just talking nonsense? :)
[02:35:48] sphery: then when MHEG is fixed, commit to trunk and -fixes
[02:35:49] iamlindoro: MHEG works in recorded programs
[02:35:58] matmat (matmat!~mat@pD9FF30F8.dip.t-dialin.net) has joined #mythtv-users
[02:36:01] iamlindoro: so it being in a PVR isn't relevant
[02:36:02] sphery: but not that useful in recorded
[02:36:15] sphery: and, besides, users have to explicitly enable recording it
[02:36:17] iamlindoro: Suspect gbee would disagree
[02:36:25] Beirdo: yeah, let's interact with something I recorded a week ago
[02:36:26] Beirdo: heh
[02:36:27] iamlindoro: that said, I want to get an RC out too
[02:36:42] Beirdo: but whatever :)

[02:41:00] wagnerrp: make it so
[02:41:07] sphery: but no one is frightened by the database
[02:41:23] sphery: Hmmm... Database upgrade failed. Let me just start randomly changing the schema and the data to make it succeed.
[02:41:29] wagnerrp: yeah, theyll dive head first into that
[02:41:51] sphery: after all, I know SQL, so it's safe for me to change the database.
[02:42:40] sphery: oh, and did you know that mysqlcheck -r will fix corrupt data?
[02:43:01] Beirdo: hehe

[02:44:45] sphery: I'll have to use that
[02:45:10] Beirdo: heh
[02:45:26] Beirdo: it should just email your db to sphery for fixing

[03:29:28] bradjm: quick question – is there a good link to find compat PCI hardware that does two channel Digital and works well with mythtv?
[03:29:49] wagnerrp: digital what?
[03:30:03] sphery: http://linuxtv.org/wiki perhaps?
[03:30:39] wagnerrp: ATSC? QAM? DVB-T? -C? -S?
[03:30:41] sphery: (but I'm sure with more details, wagnerrp can give you a good head start)
[03:31:32] wagnerrp: since youre in the US, thats going to be ATSC or QAM
[03:31:39] wagnerrp: youre not hoping to capture digital cable are you?
[03:32:02] bradjm: digital cable yes, pay per view – no
[03:32:21] wagnerrp: mythtv can only record unencrypted channels
[03:32:33] bradjm: local cable company is going all digital – so I am forced to replace my realtv dvr with something I make
[03:32:35] wagnerrp: meaning youre only guaranteed to get the local 'must carry' broadcast channels
[03:32:43] bradjm: no encrypted – clear quam at best
[03:32:58] bradjm: something a standard digital tv can use without a cable box
[03:32:58] wagnerrp: since comcast is dropping analog in favor of digital through DTAs
[03:33:08] wagnerrp: you can pick those channels up with a digital tuner
[03:33:18] bradjm: yep I have comcast – so that is why I am looking
[03:33:30] wagnerrp: right up until your local franchise gets its 'privacy mode' waiver
[03:33:43] wagnerrp: at which point your back to the local broadcast channels again
[03:33:50] bradjm: the replay tv has been very good, and I have rabbit ears for local channels
[03:34:39] wagnerrp: silicondust.com maintains a list of what channels you can get over clearqam
[03:34:49] wagnerrp: searchable by zip code
[03:35:14] wagnerrp: alternatively you can try firewire capture
[03:35:21] bradjm: still working thru the buzz word list looking at hardware – so any recommendatations?
[03:35:37] wagnerrp: but again, youre limited to what streams your cable provider has not enabled copy protection on
[03:35:47] wagnerrp: or you can do analog capture off your STB
[03:36:04] wagnerrp: either standard definition through an IVTV card (PVR-150/500/1600)
[03:36:11] wagnerrp: or high definition through a HDPVR
[03:36:55] bradjm: so I should be looking at ATSC devices?
[03:37:13] wagnerrp: for broadcast tv (with an antenna)
[03:38:29] bradjm: Ok – I get better HD on broadcast TV than thru cable – they don't compress the stuffing out of it Hauppauge line, would a 1800/2250 be worth while looking at?"
[03:42:32] bradjm: well once the local cable franchise gets it's privacy mode waiver or I am forced to give up my current dvr – or mythtv one – I will bail for dish and with the price savings ugg – rent a dvr.

[03:51:06] bradjm: thanks wagnerrp for the info – it has been useful
[03:54:33] bradjm: I had hoped to find a good pci/e card after my 150 burned up in my old mythtv box I am still scratchin my head for something better
[03:55:37] wagnerrp: you can generally find old 150s and 500s on ebay for a lot cheaper than a 1600
[03:55:44] wagnerrp: but the 1600 gets you a digital tuner
[03:57:14] k-man: what happens if you try and use a 16:9 theme on a 4:3 screen? does it squash or crop or something else?
[03:57:23] bradjm: a good link to research is http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Category:Video_cap . . . apture_cards
[03:57:59] wagnerrp: a better link is the one sphery gave
[03:58:02] sphery: k-man: if you have it set to fullscren, it scales it without maintaining aspect ("squashes it")
[03:58:03] bradjm: on my tv running 16.9 on a 4:3 I get letter box – black strip above and below
[03:58:12] wagnerrp: nearly all of myth's tuner support comes from the linuxtv project
[03:58:44] sphery: k-man: though you can set size and offsets to make it letter box the 16:9 theme on your 4:3 screen
[03:58:58] k-man: sphery: ok thanks
[03:59:05] sphery: and with an appropriately-chosen X root window background color, you can make it look pretty nice
[03:59:15] k-man: just installed .22 on my new box last night, i think its using the default theme
[03:59:30] k-man: might try some of the other themes
[03:59:35] sphery: though, IMHO, Arclight (only available with current trunk--and soon 0.23) looks good squashed to 4:3
[03:59:35] bradjm: the problem is research – I used mythtv before when the only info was from the daily e-mail traffic -
[04:00:19] sphery: k-man: yeah, for 4:3 0.22 only has MythCenter (but note that MythCenter-wide is 16:9)
[04:00:20] bradjm: and I was hoping I could say cut down the cross my fingers and hope side of the issue – not much to be found in the PCI/e connectors

[04:00:57] k-man: sphery: actually, come to think of it, i don't think its using mythcenter – let me find some screenshots hang on
[04:02:17] k-man: sphery: oh, i think its using Terra
[04:02:41] k-man: and come to think of it, i noticed it was squashed – the clock/CD images were oval
[04:02:46] sphery: k-man: Terra is the default theme, but mythtv 0.22 also ships with MythCenter available as a choice
[04:02:52] sphery: it's the only 4:3 theme choice in 0.22
[04:03:04] k-man: sphery: cool, ill check that out tonight
[04:03:56] iamlindoro: s/MythCenter/some MythCenter menus and default for everything real/
[04:04:22] k-man: one day I'll get a 16:9 TV and I won't have to worry about it any more... one day
[04:07:17] sphery: k-man: I stand corrected... iamlindoro's description is /much/ better than mine.
[04:07:44] sphery: k-man: letterboxing is always an option... or, as I said, Arclight when 0.23 is released
[04:08:07] sphery: it looks pretty good in 4:3
[04:09:00] bradjm: Thanks Sphery for the info – the webpage reference is good – but harder to figure out by brand (not chip set) what is good to look at. The one I referenced is useful by brand – but not much details -

[04:11:08] wagnerrp: best is subjective, and everyone has a favority
[04:11:27] sphery: yeah, and those who buy based on that would want to blame the one who recommended :)
[04:12:23] bradjm: and the one I would like to try says – no luck – maybe sometime later ;)
[04:13:23] wagnerrp: which one is that?
[04:15:08] bradjm: the 2250 that is PCI/e format – what little I have found there are no cards with this bus conenction that will work
[04:15:51] wagnerrp: the 1250, 1850, 2250, and two of the divco cards work with PCIe just fine
[04:15:56] bradjm: just trying to find two digital recordings at the same time – I have a nice machine that has a lower end quad processor that should be able to work
[04:16:00] wagnerrp: however only the 1850 has analog support
[04:16:08] wagnerrp: and a bug prevents that from working with mythtv
[04:16:40] wagnerrp: a higher clocked dual is generally better than a lower clocked quad
[04:16:49] bradjm: # Video via PCI Express (PCIe):
[04:16:49] bradjm: * nGene devices (not supported)
[04:16:49] bradjm: * saa7162 devices (will be supported)
[04:16:49] bradjm: was the only two under PCIe
[04:17:04] wagnerrp: but any quad core processor should have plenty of power for any broadcast mpeg2 you capture
[04:17:21] bradjm: I took that as nothing out there
[04:17:39] wagnerrp: are you looking for V4L devices?
[04:17:47] wagnerrp: you dont want a V4L device
[04:17:57] wagnerrp: if you want analog, you want an IVTV device, or an HDPVR
[04:19:44] bradjm: hmm – the 2250 supports two analog / digital so it seems to be a good mixture of both worlds – I guess talking to me somewhat like a not very bight brick -
[04:19:57] wagnerrp: does not support analog under linux
[04:20:02] wagnerrp: the 1850 is the only one that does
[04:20:11] wagnerrp: and theres a bug preventing that analog support from working in mythtv
[04:20:15] bradjm: I understand that – and there might be a fix in the future for it
[04:20:42] bradjm: but it don't work now
[04:20:52] wagnerrp: to be honest, there just isnt the motivation for analog
[04:21:48] bradjm: I am not bad at C/C++ but been many years sense the last time I worked that close to the metal (chip level) for hardware devices. not worth the effort I guess
[04:21:54] wagnerrp: user want it, but the people who normally develop the drivers already have half a dozen other cards to fulfill the same purpose
[04:22:34] wagnerrp: if you are willing to work to develop the analog support, im sure the linuxtv guys would be glad to give you whatever guidance you need
[04:22:47] bradjm: well – I do have space in the computer and a quad 2.8 is not all that slow so I guess I could stuff more hardware in it and run off the motherboard's video to save room in the case
[04:23:11] wagnerrp: a quad 2.8 should be able to handle _any_ content you find
[04:23:50] wagnerrp: bluray playback generally works better with a quad, although a very high end dual could probably manage
[04:23:53] bradjm: but it' will not run Solaris – which is why I bought it – the OS does not like the nic and most of the video
[04:24:14] wagnerrp: but hdpvr playback is single threaded, and requires at least a 2.5GHz Core2, or something higher in AMD
[04:24:35] bradjm: so I have been running red hat / windows 7 on the machine trying to figure out it's next home
[04:24:37] wagnerrp: yeah, solaris doesnt have much support for multimedia stuff
[04:24:47] bradjm: na – but it gets me $$$ for work
[04:24:53] wagnerrp: you could probably run a HDHR under solaris
[04:25:00] wagnerrp: but thats probably as far as tuner support goes
[04:25:12] bradjm: and it has a killer file system called ZFS that is useful to play with
[04:25:26] wagnerrp: yeah, ive been using it for about a year and a half under freebsd
[04:25:33] wagnerrp: but its a bit more advanced under solaris
[04:25:35] bradjm: and one version of Linux can be run in a zone --
[04:26:04] bradjm: but that's work – don't want to bug ya with that stuff :)
[04:26:34] bradjm: so for PCI the 1600 seems ok and digital only the 2250 might be worth a spin
[04:27:17] bradjm: did I get it right?
[04:27:38] bradjm: my milage will depend on lots of stuff – it may work – or not depending on "stuff"
[04:30:20] bradjm: I finished up a week long class on ZFS and zones – neat features – I can't wait until they show up in Linux
[04:30:39] bradjm: makes setting up mirrors a snap

[04:54:16] DixitDominus: what's the most extreme mythtv set up?
[04:54:28] DixitDominus: in terms of number of tuners?
[04:54:37] wagnerrp: probably all of them
[04:55:07] wagnerrp: (enough tuners to record every channel simultaneously)
[04:55:30] wagnerrp: ive heard rumored that there are some small businesses set up with that
[04:55:38] DixitDominus: oO
[04:55:42] wagnerrp: and occasionally someone from one of those places in here asking about just that
[04:55:46] DixitDominus: must be an IRQ killer
[04:55:56] wagnerrp: nah, you get multiple backends
[04:56:08] wagnerrp: along with a couple dozen TB of storage

[10:36:39] Splat1: Random question, Virgin Media STB, trying to get myth to control it, got Lircd working and a working change_chan.sh. Having problems getting the channels list populated via xmltv and when I have a go at it manually it responds with the card is in use :/ (its not, its just for that STB)
[10:37:09] Splat1: Any one had a go at this ? or better yet, has a channels.conf ?
[10:38:28] justinh: huh? how would configuring the grabber respond with card in use?
[10:39:10] justinh: anyway a channels.conf would do you no good unless they had the same package as you
[10:39:34] justinh: actually, a channels.conf would be FA use to you at all
[10:39:49] justinh: maybe what you mean is a $videosourcename.xmltv
[10:41:29] justinh: and if mythtv-setup is reporting that the card is in use you've likely still got mythbackend running, which it very well warns you about when you start mythtv-setup
[10:43:31] gandalfcome (gandalfcome!~gandalfco@150.203.88.138) has joined #mythtv-users

[10:48:34] Splat1: the FE reports card in use when testing my manually added channel
[10:48:36] Splat1: the STB will just display a channel not in package message when you change to that channel anyway
[10:50:09] justinh: if it's a new card with a new channel lineup – e.g. if you already have dvb-t for freeview or whatever.. you need a new 'video source'
[10:50:43] Splat1: aye, got that far, uk_rt in use, set to grab the virgin channel line up
[10:51:11] justinh: I don't get all the source switching BS in mythfrontend
[10:51:25] justinh: another reason I don't use livetv
[10:52:21] justinh: if the channels are set up properly I don't think mythfrontend should be complaining
[10:52:23] Splat1: hehe, I got a dule tuner freeview card in fine, a dule tuner dvb-s card and switch in fine, but can I get this working :/
[10:52:33] justinh: unless it really already *is* using the card
[10:52:53] Splat1: thats the point i think Im stuck on, I dont seem to be fetching a channels list from uk_rt
[10:52:54] justinh: they speak English in what?
[10:53:29] justinh: big thing – uk_rt won't get you channel numbers
[10:53:37] justinh: no way, no how
[10:54:03] justinh: so mythtv-setup won't get channel numbers from merely configuring the grabber
[10:54:35] justinh: you'll no doubt have a whole lineup with names, guide data & all.. but no channel numbers
[10:54:55] Splat1: ok, how do I manually go about adding them in, usually I do a scan and grab them that way.
[10:56:04] justinh: you manually add them all in :-)
[10:56:16] justinh: using the channel editor, mythweb or some script or other
[10:56:29] justinh: it's fun on a stick!
[10:56:36] Splat1: hehe
[10:57:03] justinh: oh wait did I say fun? I meant HELL
[10:57:16] Splat1: had a go adding bbc 1 & 2 , when trying to select the channel I get card in use on the FE :/
[10:57:21] justinh: but hey at least you only need do it once if you do it properly
[10:57:44] justinh: make sure no tuners are actually being used then
[10:57:44] ** Splat1 removes the whole chain and starts a fresh **
[10:58:05] Splat1: its a new tuner in a slave backend, never been used before
[10:58:31] justinh: if your $videosourcename.xmltv has a load of channels defined in it, every mythfilldatabase run will just reinsert the useless channels
[10:58:46] justinh: muh, slave backend or not, all tuners are just tuners
[11:00:05] justinh: step 1. add new tuner card to mythtv-setup. step 2. create new 'video source' for said tuner & its channel lineup
[11:00:21] justinh: step 3. configure xmltv for said 'video source'
[11:00:37] justinh: step 4. associate the new video source with the new tuner card in 'input connections'
[11:01:29] justinh: and all this assumes that this is actually a completely separate card, not just the video input on your freeview tuner card
[11:01:56] Splat1: new v4l card, mpeg type, default input s-video, aye its a card all to itself
[11:02:35] justinh: I hate the whole xmltv config process
[11:02:58] justinh: taking the user through a big long list & asking (y/n/all) is a fricking pain in the nuts
[11:03:12] bjd: lol
[11:03:13] Splat1: xmltv uk_rt , setup for virgin
[11:03:14] justinh: much preferred how it used to do it
[11:03:15] bjd: i feel your pain
[11:03:31] justinh: bjd: now I DIY my own config files. much easier
[11:04:11] ** Splat1 waits for xmltv to do its thing **
[11:04:11] justinh: Splat1: yeah which when you run mythfilldatabase will insert a bunch of new channels for that video source which you can't use cos they'll have no number. see mythweb or the channel editor in mythtv-setup
[11:05:20] justinh: I need to hack on the programme finder & stuff to remove 'hidden' channels from search results, should save me having to go to daft lengths to filter out stupid channels
[11:06:01] justinh: if hidden really meant hidden there'd be no need to go with anything but the defaults for xmltv setups :)

[11:06:46] Saviq: hi all, did anyone have success in using the SkyStar S2 card? (Not HD, unfortunately)?
[11:06:46] ** bjd cringes at the thought of spending 100 quid on a dvb-s2 card **
[11:07:01] justinh: but as it is, I scan, it finds all the shopping channels & oaf stuff, which i then have to DELETE .. bah
[11:07:16] justinh: Saviq: ruh? the card is not HD. It just pulls data from the air
[11:07:49] justinh: they'd only be worthy of an 'HD' label if they did any decoding of the streams into video. Which they DO NOT
[11:08:03] Saviq: justinh: well, I only mean the model name
[11:08:06] ** Splat1 joins justinh in this **
[11:08:15] Splat1: thats a pet hate of mine as well
[11:08:35] justinh: Saviq: a DVB-S2 tuner is a DVB-S2 tuner
[11:09:12] Splat1: I have an old nova-s doing fresat hd nice and dandy :)
[11:09:14] justinh: no matter if it has 'HD' in its name or not.. other than the fact it may use a different chipset.. and then it has nothing to do with 'HD'
[11:09:34] Saviq: yeah except the S2 isn't supported by stock kernel nor through the liplianin drivers, it has some binary blob for the demuxer
[11:09:53] justinh: so don't buy it then
[11:09:58] Saviq: too late ;)
[11:10:05] justinh: so put it on ebay then
[11:10:17] justinh: take the hit & be more careful in future
[11:10:19] Saviq: will probably do
[11:11:03] Splat1: justinh, Do you think I need to bother with the channel callsign ?
[11:11:37] justinh: I don't believe in callsigns
[11:11:48] justinh: I deem them an americanization (sic) too far
[11:11:59] Saviq: so, any -S2 card I can safely bet on?
[11:12:00] justinh: but just make them the same as the channel name
[11:12:17] Saviq: no decoding needed – just 'pulling data off the air' as justinh pointed out
[11:12:20] grumpydevil: many S2 cards that behave well
[11:12:33] grumpydevil: and they are available for about Euro 50 at the moment
[11:13:04] Saviq: I was thinking the SkyStar HD/HD2 (sorry, that's just the model name ;)) or the WinTV Nova HD
[11:13:12] justinh: I wish they
[11:13:17] ** Splat1 looks on confused **
[11:13:19] justinh: they'd stop calling stuff 'WinTV'
[11:13:33] Splat1: my years old nova-s pick up s2 fine :/
[11:13:38] Splat1: picks up^
[11:13:47] justinh: Splat1: no it doesn't!
[11:13:53] justinh: Splat1: freesat is DVB-S only
[11:14:01] Splat1: ah
[11:14:06] ** Splat1 feels like a muppet **
[11:14:25] Saviq: what about multirec? no problems there?
[11:14:43] Splat1: anything worthwhile on astra's 28's S2 ?
[11:14:44] justinh: other than multirec on satellite generally being pointless in some cases...
[11:15:18] justinh: on freesat stuff, they do idiotic things like put one channel on a transponder, and lump all its regional variations on the same transponder
[11:15:26] justinh: thereby negative the advantage of multirec :D
[11:15:28] grumpydevil: TT S2–1600 has support in default kernel for S2, works well and costs less then Euro 50 at the moment
[11:15:36] justinh: s/negative/negating
[11:15:50] justinh: aye technotrend know what they're doing I hear
[11:17:13] Saviq: yeah I have an old FF card lying around somewhere, good HW
[11:17:33] Saviq: SkyStars' bitten me one time too many
[11:17:48] justinh: FF cards are funny
[11:18:43] Saviq: I saw some mods for FF cards to allow multirec, that was awesome :)
[11:19:06] justinh: meh

[12:04:17] justinh: press MENU & you should see an option to reset it!
[12:05:08] k-man: no option to reset in the menu – only save, quit without save, coarse/fine and close
[12:05:08] justinh: infact to have even succeeded in buggering up said settings you have to engage the menu.. so you must've seen it before
[12:05:27] justinh: huh? I wrote it with a 'reset' option
[12:05:34] justinh: don't tell me it's no longer there
[12:05:50] k-man: justinh: well... its not on my version....
[12:06:03] justinh: you've got to be kidding me. FFS

[12:06:52] justinh: you can reset it by running mythfrontend with --reset which should do it, but it'll reset everything to do with the GUI
[12:06:57] justinh: that sucks
[12:07:07] Splat1: < on mythbuntu
[12:07:14] justinh: it was specifically put in there to be able to reset those settings
[12:07:31] justinh: to remove that defeats virtually the whole point of the feature
[12:07:57] k-man: who removed it?
[12:07:58] justinh: since there's no other way to make the area larger once it's been resized down

[12:09:53] justinh: IS STILL THERE
[12:09:59] Jay2k1: justinh: what does that reset button do that you wrote? changing some db values?
[12:10:09] Jay2k1: i mean, is there a way to do that manually
[12:10:25] justinh: it sets the gui size & offset values to all zeros forcing mythfrontend fullscreen
[12:10:40] justinh: so it hasn't been removed
[12:10:42] k-man: justinh: where are those values stored? in the db?
[12:11:01] Jay2k1: i mean, these values have to be stored somewhere, one should be able to edit them manually
[12:11:08] justinh: NO NO NON ONO
[12:11:17] justinh: you don't go into the database & mess with settings
[12:11:25] justinh: people developed a GUI for this stuff
[12:11:31] Jay2k1: heh
[12:11:50] justinh: if you want to do everything on the mysql commandline fine. just give me the GUI
[12:12:01] ** grumpydevil is every night running a script that sets some values in the database to local default settings ... :) **
[12:12:01] justinh: and you'll be stuck with mysql commandlines :)
[12:12:29] justinh: but as with ALL mythfrontend settings, the settings are stored in the database.
[12:12:37] justinh: like where else would they be held?
[12:12:39] k-man: ok

[12:17:25] ** Splat1 kicks mythtv **
[12:21:33] k-man: ok, so which table would those settings be in?
[12:22:02] grumpydevil: check in settings :)
[12:22:54] k-man: ah yeah, looking there now thanks
[12:27:30] k-man: ah, well the plot thickens...
[12:27:49] k-man: i reset it to 0, adjusted the screen size using the corner things again, and this time it made the window too small again
[12:28:07] justinh: FWIW if you run the wizard without making any changes you should see the reset option in the menu
[12:29:01] k-man: justinh: i don't see it, but i made changes and saved them already
[12:29:13] k-man: if i go back in, make not changes, i still don't see reset

[12:29:37] k-man: no, no reset option for me
[12:29:39] k-man: let me try again
[12:29:51] justinh: m_menuPopup->AddButton(tr("Reset Changes and Quit")); is definitely in the code
[12:30:12] k-man: i only get quit, coarse fine and close menu
[12:32:12] k-man: and then i adjusted it again and it worked
[12:32:22] grumpydevil: in 0.22 on that screen wizard i get the following menu options: "Quit without saving", "coarse/fine adjustment" and "close menu"
[12:32:25] k-man: mythtv now fits correctly on my TV
[12:32:48] k-man: is it possible that vnc was interfering with it?
[12:33:10] k-man: i suspected it was so i killed vnc and tried again and as i said, it worked
[12:33:15] justinh: if you don't move either of the arrows you should see the option to reset
[12:33:51] justinh: screw that – you should always see the option
[12:34:11] k-man: justinh: don't move the arrows ever or don't move them in that session in the appearance wizard?
[12:34:21] justinh: unless a translator screwed it up
[12:34:31] k-man: using us english
[12:34:43] justinh: it should be the very first menu option when you bring the menu up
[12:34:59] k-man: anyway, i go into the setup wizard, press m for menu and there is reset option
[12:35:11] k-man: no moving arrows between entering the wizard and pressing m
[12:35:34] justinh: I've got the code in front of me. It *should* give you the reset option
[12:35:57] justinh: the code is so simple it could hardly even be a bug
[12:38:07] justinh: it's possible that the popup in the theme you use isn't showing you the option of course
[12:38:18] k-man: how can i get info about the current program on screen and keep it there?
[12:38:27] justinh: you can't keep it there
[12:38:33] justinh: it'll always timeout AFAIK
[12:38:34] k-man: justinh: ah, ill try a different theme maybe
[12:39:11] justinh: but when playing a show, the button to press to get INFO about the programme is... (wait for it).... INFO !
[12:39:15] k-man: which theme should i try? currently using mythcenter
[12:40:36] k-man: nope, don't see the reset option in Terra either
[12:40:46] justinh: then something is very very screwed up
[12:40:56] justinh: it's there in mythappearance.cpp
[12:41:18] justinh: http://svn.mythtv.org/trac/browser/trunk/myth . . . pearance.cpp
[12:41:59] k-man: also, when i set the size, it sets it incorrectly
[12:42:07] k-man: and the mythtv window ends up too small
[12:42:23] justinh: yeah well, the way it's designed you have to get it right first time
[12:42:40] justinh: this is because of the limitation I mentioned earlier
[12:42:49] k-man: right
[12:43:33] justinh: if the actual saving of settings is resulting in a size which is too small, you've got a problem somewhere else
[12:44:24] k-man: justinh: well... it could be that i went in twice to do it
[12:44:29] k-man: i thought i could adjust it
[12:44:38] k-man: and as i cant reset it could compound
[12:44:46] justinh: jees
[12:45:03] justinh: I've no idea why the reset option isn't there but as I've repeatedly said it SHOULD be there

[12:45:58] justinh: that isn't even themable
[12:46:14] justinh: so it should appear in the popup menu even if you have to scroll to see it
[12:48:01] k-man: justinh: you can say it should be there all you like – but my mythtv install seems not to be listening ;)
[12:48:05] justinh: the only variable menu option there – i.e. the only one which is dependant on things you do in the wizard is the Save & quit option
[12:48:21] justinh: if you make no changes you won't see the save & quit option
[12:49:02] justinh: unless your distro are patching it.. but I can't think why they'd even do that
[12:49:47] k-man: yeah, i doubt it but who knows... its the marillat debian multi media package
[12:50:47] justinh: it was never a perfect feature, for a few reasons bound in limitations of the UI code – but what you're saying makes it totally impotent
[12:50:48] k-man: justinh: so i reset the gui values to 0 in the db, restarted mythtv, adjusted the size accordingly, saved the settings and again, the window ended up too small
[12:51:11] justinh: something's very wrong with the DE then
[12:51:15] justinh: somehow
[12:51:19] justinh: somewhere
[12:51:35] justinh: running any stupid 3D compositor junk?
[12:51:36] k-man: thankfully, i have found if i go in then quit without saving it seems to reset it
[12:52:07] k-man: justinh: not afaik. its a new debian testing install with an ati radeon card
[12:52:21] k-man: i know, radeon is shite, but thats all i have
[12:52:38] justinh: maybe it's not liking the offsets
[12:53:50] justinh: the code hasn't been changed since 0.21, and it's been fine on everything I've run it with
[12:54:02] justinh: well not changed much in this regard
[12:54:17] justinh: the reset menu item isn't optional or dependant on anything
[12:54:28] justinh: so you should be seeing it no matter what
[12:54:32] k-man: if you go to setup/appearance/next next, you get a different ui for adjusting the window size

[13:40:06] bep_: is it possible to upscale sd tv signals with mythtv?
[13:41:13] justinh: not in any sense where a 'quality nut' would be satisfied with them
[13:42:27] justinh: SDTV can never be anything but standard def no matter what resolution it's shown at
[13:42:36] bep_: sure, it's not like real hd, but a collegue has got a hardware receiver and there's much difference with or without upscaling when watching sd content
[13:42:36] clever: my 480i recordings get upscaled to 1024x768p, then the video card downscales it to about 480i
[13:42:47] clever: then the hdtv upscales it again to full screen
[13:43:09] justinh: bep_: point being, the scaling built into many teevees is junk
[13:43:14] clever: until i switch to vga/dvi, my quality will always suck
[13:43:48] bep_: sure, the scaling into his tv is junk, but he has a seperate hd receiver and this upsclaing looks "fine"
[13:44:07] justinh: software scaling is nothing special but might be better than your TV
[13:44:10] justinh: or maybe not
[13:44:10] bep_: and I'm asking not for recordings but for live watching
[13:44:22] justinh: buy a scaler, then
[13:44:47] bep_: haven't seen something like this
[13:45:34] justinh: if you have a HDTV, why not just watch HD all the time?

I'm using the Network Recorder as the input source with a properly formatted M3U playlist and I've succesfully imported my channels. However when I try to watch them MythTV won't lock on to the channel. Works fine with VLC player. Can anybody help me?
[17:34:57] Dandy`: The log doesn't tell me anything useful, no errors.

[17:44:26] kormoc: why would it lock onto a iptv channel?
[17:45:28] sphery: kormoc: didn't you say that the issue that http://svn.mythtv.org/trac/ticket/7632 attempts to fix is due to users using some secure build thingy?
[17:45:44] Dandy`: Well that's what it says, "You should have received a channel llock by now. You can continue to wait for a signal, or..."

[17:54:43] kormoc: randomuser: so... read the driver section you skipped over?
[17:54:52] kormoc: lspci will show it, driver or driverless
[17:54:57] iamlindoro: lspci has nothing to do with the driver being installed or working

[17:55:37] devinheitmueller: randomuser: which kernel/distro are you running?
[17:55:55] sphery: after all, imagine how much faster my program will execute if I compile it specifically for my 2.8GHz quad-core processor... I mean we all know that code on a 2.8GHz quad core processor executes extremely slowly, so optimizing the code means I can avoid all those useless instructions--which will slow things down immensely.
[17:56:07] devinheitmueller: but yes, kormoc and iamlindoro are correct – just because something shows up in lspci, does not mean that there is any driver support for the card.
[17:56:09] sphery: micro-optimizations ftw!
[17:56:23] sphery: (who needs a known working build, anyway)
[17:56:31] randomuser: mythdora on 2.6.27.41–170.2.117
[17:57:13] devinheitmueller: Well, there is some driver support in that revision.
[17:57:19] kormoc: sphery: You don't get a sense of accomplishment compiling code until it doesn't work for a million times before it does
[17:57:23] randomuser: i just installed the firmware package via yum; i'd rather stick to packages rather than compilings if at all possible
[17:57:28] devinheitmueller: But you should *definitely* upgrade the drivers since there were lots of bugs that were fixed.
[17:57:37] sphery: kormoc: ah, I forgot about the non-tangible benefits...
[17:58:03] devinheitmueller: randomuser: randomuser: you're not only using packages, but you're using *really* old packages.
[17:58:34] randomuser: any reference available on user permissions and setup for myth? i want to check that before i really dig in
[17:58:37] devinheitmueller: You can either use packages from a relatively recent distro, or you can use an old distro but compile the code from source. You cannot have it both ways and expect a good result.
[17:58:58] devinheitmueller: have you looked at the dmesg output?
[17:59:30] ** sphery adds a new configure switch, --gentoo-opt, which sets random build flags 90% of the time so users don't even have to go through the trouble of choosing opts to get that sense of accomplishment **
[17:59:47] kormoc: sphery: ooh! Good optimization!
[18:01:45] randomuser: dmesg shows te firmware loading the card and setting up /dev/videoX's; later, 'failed to initialize on minor "n"'
[18:01:50] wagnerrp: since -O2 is better than -O0, and -O3 is better than -O2, i use -O47
[18:02:19] kormoc: wagnerrp: -O1337
[18:02:28] [Peter]: wagnerrp: everyone knows that 47 is one too many
[18:02:34] wagnerrp: that high? thats just madness
[18:02:41] ** kormoc crackles like a mad man **
[18:03:24] sphery: I have to say, though, that I love that the "optimizations" users were making by choosing a --arch or whatever that caused fPIC on x86_32 resulted in a significantly less efficient build due to the lack of support for referencing memory as an offset from the program counter on x86_32
[18:03:41] kormoc: yup
[18:03:59] sphery: optimization without measurement is ...
[18:04:22] justinh: what everybody strives for?
[18:04:26] sphery: heh

[18:53:09] wagnerrp: what is the name of the file youre trying to pull information for?

[18:55:10] wagnerrp: so it wouldnt have anything for those fields
[18:55:23] jolaren: Oh, then why are they included haha
[18:55:36] wagnerrp: because theyre generally populated by the grabber scripts
[18:57:54] jolaren: The grabbing information from some site thingy, is that to be installed separatly or is it included in mythvideo?
[18:58:13] wagnerrp: grabbers for themoviedb.org and thetvdb.com are included in mythtv
[18:59:41] jolaren: /usr/share/mythtv/mythvideo/scripts/tmdb.pl -D
[19:00:01] jolaren: that's what's written in the commando to find fanart
[19:02:10] wagnerrp: ah... right... dropdown list is only in trunk

[19:12:23] jolaren: wagnerrp, Still.. movies that I can find on themoviedb.com can't be found when pressing "w" in mythvideo
[19:13:08] wagnerrp: you shouldnt be able to find anything on themoviedb.com
[19:13:25] jolaren: why?
[19:13:37] wagnerrp: and if you did find the movie on themoviedb.org, but cannot pick it up with tmdb.pl
[19:13:38] jolaren: cuz its .org
[19:13:49] wagnerrp: its probably because that movie does not have an imdb number specified
[19:14:04] wagnerrp: in 0.22, mythvideo still uses the old imdb numbers, even though its now using the tmdb site
[19:14:34] sphery: or the title for your video--which is initially guessed from the filename--is wrong
[19:14:41] sphery: this happens a lot with stolen videos
[19:15:19] sphery: i.e. videos with all sorts of "only useful for file thieves looking to figure out which copy to steal" information in the filename

[19:34:19] Beirdo: so... if you record with AC3, does mythtranscode spit out all 6 channels?
[19:34:29] Beirdo: the wanker hasn't put in a ticket
[19:34:37] Beirdo: mailing list only.
[19:34:40] sphery: I think it grabs one audio stream
[19:34:48] sphery: sometimes it chooses wrong--there are tix for that
[19:34:52] Beirdo: well...
[19:35:03] jolaren: wagnerrp, you could change the metadata by pressing "I" on the movie in question, fyi
[19:35:05] Beirdo: nuvexport sees it as 6 channels (from mplayer)
[19:35:07] Beirdo: hehe

[19:49:30] Beirdo: oh it will happen... it will.
[19:49:37] justinh: but I'm darned if I'll be happy having to open a browser to change a frontend setting
[19:49:44] sphery: well, holding off on getting rid of Qt-based setup until someone gets around to web-based settings is an awful idea

[19:52:17] sphery: after all, can you make an open, standard video available /and/ lock it up with stupid DRM
[19:52:29] wagnerrp: sphery: because it can... if you dont care about having control over it once you upload it to the user

[19:52:56] wagnerrp: which is perfectly fine for most flash based sites already
[19:53:04] skd5aner: had to watch games, in low quality flash, blown up to full screen on a 52" plasma :'(
[19:53:07] Beirdo: "If you are running something better than Windows, Fox is too dumb for you"
[19:54:04] wagnerrp: i mean there are only a handful of sites that ive come across that dont leave the flash video in the browser cache
[19:54:13] iamlindoro: I like the player in development here: http://jilion.com/sublime/video
[19:54:22] iamlindoro: on the off chance that we end up going with HTML5 video playback
[19:54:37] sphery: skd5aner: What? Moonlight/Mono not compatible with the Silverlight/.NET versions/API's/frameworks that are currently in use? That's... That's...exactly what I expect to be the case forever.  :)
[19:54:39] iamlindoro: it'll be free for non-commercial use so presumably similar license to FlowPlayer
[19:54:52] skd5aner: iamlindoro: speaking of the NCAA streaming – is it feasible to integrate that somehow into MNV?
[19:55:18] iamlindoro: skd5aner: Find a free source of NCAA video with an API or ToS that permits scraping, then write a grabber

[19:56:14] Beirdo: iamlindoro: there's no reason he can't do it for a subscription-based service
[19:56:18] sphery: i.e. the people making the decision think the flash-based security implementations are good because they don't understand any of the issues

[19:57:51] Beirdo: yeah, I'm just saying, there's nothing wrong with that... as long as they still follow ToS
[19:58:01] wagnerrp: AndyCap: at least when they use RTMPe, the content never touches the hard drive
[19:58:01] skd5aner: but I think to just link to their page to view
[19:58:23] wagnerrp: and its an encrypted stream that someone else couldnt just access directly without breaking DMCA
[19:58:46] wagnerrp: im talking about all these youtube clones that download the file right to a browser cache
[19:58:54] wagnerrp: making it trivial for anyone to copy
[19:59:07] iamlindoro: skd5aner: Better get to work then, eh?
[19:59:28] sphery: AndyCap: the security of making sure only Windows users can play the video
[19:59:38] sphery: and the security of making sure the video can't be played without the annoying ads
[19:59:42] skd5aner: Well, I wasn't asking for you (or anyone really) to do it, just curious if it was feasible given the constraints
[19:59:43] skd5aner: :)
[19:59:53] sphery: and the security of making sure that it's "impossible" to keep a copy
[20:00:11] iamlindoro: skd5aner: we won't know until you try to write it and we find out ;)
[20:00:16] skd5aner: haha – fair enough
[20:01:26] skd5aner: well, let me ask it this way – if there isn't a link directly to a video, is it possible to integrate mythnetvision to display a webpage rather than trying to directly play/display the video? NOTE: I have not played with MNV or trunk yet

[20:19:30] Ezun: so when I look for a way to resolve things that's what pops up for me in the forums
[20:19:34] skd5aner: Ezun: about waht specifically?
[20:19:37] Ezun: any suggestions to improve my searches?
[20:19:38] RDV_Linux: skd5aner: The list I referred to was just my local collection of sources for MNV grabbers. I have a few unreleased grabbers for a 0.24 MNV project I am working on. Today I started the BBC iPlayer treeview and search grabbers. Just started my ground work now.
[20:19:53] justinh: Ezun: mythtv doesn't have any official forums
[20:19:54] skd5aner: Ezun: I use gossamer threads and sort by date usually
[20:20:56] RDV_Linux: justinh: I have never considered putting my list up anywhere.
[20:20:57] Ezun: ok, maybe the gossamer threads will help
[20:21:06] justinh: mythtvtalk.com has about 2 regular posters who bother replying to new threads
[20:21:17] Ezun: but I'm trying to get my remote configured and i'm running into a lot of old documentation (doesn't mean it's irrelevant
[20:21:35] justinh: lirc.org for documentation about lirc :)
[20:21:39] Ezun: The challenge I have, it's not a "standard" or MCE remote
[20:21:55] skd5aner: RDV_Linux: cool! Well, perhaps for March Madness 2011 myth users will be able to watch all 63 games streamed to their TV with help from MNV :)
[20:22:01] Ezun: justinh, Yeah I've looked there – I'm probably to green to be doing this
[20:22:13] justinh: Ezun: so you learn the buttons with irrecord & make your own
[20:22:37] Ezun: justinh – Thanks – I see that I can do that, but I"m little lost
[20:22:45] justinh: don't panic
[20:22:46] Ezun: the problem is that I have a truly universal remote
[20:22:50] RDV_Linux: skd5aner: I already wrote an NBA grabber and would like to do a sports page of at least pro sports but that is down the line.
[20:22:51] justinh: well so?
[20:22:54] Ezun: it's an RIT T2C
[20:22:59] Ezun: so you have to program everything on it
[20:23:02] skd5aner: Ezun: LIRC is a pain, but it's not impossible :)
[20:23:11] Ezun: Yeah, I trust LIRC will work
[20:23:13] Ezun: just have to get it set up
[20:23:16] justinh: Ezun: most of the config files I've seen on the net had something wrong with them anyway
[20:23:24] skd5aner: Ezun: google is your friend for LIRC, not a lot has (drastically) changed over the years with LIRC
[20:23:24] Ezun: SO :-) What is the "best" remote to use
[20:23:26] TheAsp: Ezun: it can control the universe?
[20:23:30] javatexan (javatexan!~mia@129.62.151.84) has quit (Quit: Leaving.)
[20:23:30] TheAsp: :)
[20:23:33] TheAsp: (sorry)
[20:23:44] justinh: Ezun: if you have an MCE remote receiver, try to emulate that with your remote
[20:23:45] Ezun: TheAsp – give me a way, and I can make this thing control anything
[20:23:56] skd5aner: Ezun: loaded question – the answer is whatever you can receive that has enough buttons for whaty ou want it to do
[20:24:01] Ezun: seriously, I could open and close my garage door with it (useful only when wife is trying to get in)
[20:24:14] justinh: and you need to make sure it sends codes your IR receiver works with
[20:24:21] justinh: most important, that ^^^^
[20:24:33] skd5aner: MCE remotes are popular because they generally work "out-of-the-box" and are well suited for a DVR
[20:24:40] Ezun: justinh: ok – So I'll load an MCE configuration onto my remote, and then use irrecord to record the proper commands, right?
[20:25:10] Ezun: justinh – I have the Hauppauge 2250 card with the IR cable plugged into it (the one that comes with it)
[20:25:16] justinh: Ezun: or start with a standard mce conf file (lircd.conf) then use the irw command & see if every button gives the right response
[20:25:25] Ezun: so it should work, right?
[20:25:32] justinh: no guarantees of anything
[20:25:33] Ezun: Justinh: ok
[20:25:40] justinh: depends on the receiver hardware
[20:25:57] justinh: sometimes the receiver part is done on a micro which is programmed to only work with one set of codes
[20:26:21] justinh: other times it's just a dumb port.. other times it's a micro with versatile code
[20:26:26] Ezun: what happens if it doesn't work, then what do I do to get IR codes in?
[20:26:37] Ezun: I did the LIRC using Alsa_audio
[20:26:56] justinh: learn the remote which comes with the tuner card onto your 'universal' remote
[20:26:58] Ezun: and I could hear the codes if I turned on the speakers, but couldn't get LIRC or Myth to recognize them
[20:27:26] justinh: foolproof!
[20:27:29] Ezun: justinh: and therein lies the rub – I (stupidly) saved $10 to buy the card without the remote... :-(
[20:27:56] justinh: so stop panicking & just *try* stuff
[20:28:05] justinh: worst case, you go out & buy an MCE remote kit
[20:28:32] TheAsp: Send me the remote, I'll get it working
[20:28:37] justinh: best case, you program the remote to act like an MCE remote & it'll 'just work' with a standard config file
[20:28:52] Ezun: yep
[20:28:57] Ezun: I know
[20:28:58] justinh: IIRC Hauppauge remote receivers are pretty versatile
[20:29:14] Ezun: I was working on this day and night for a while, then the wife got irritated, just need to start again.
[20:29:35] justinh: then remember that when you map stuff onto a universal remote, there's no guarantee all the buttons can be used
[20:29:44] Ezun: was hoping I could find an instant answer... :-)
[20:29:48] justinh: that was a big limitation with my OFA-6
[20:30:03] justinh: it could emulate a hauppauge remote but didn't do all the buttons
[20:30:18] Ezun: justinh: another question
[20:30:19] justinh: there's never an instant answer where lirc is involved
[20:31:07] Ezun: I can have my universal remote behave like many different remotes at once. So, would it work to have my LIRC files "receive" commands from different remotes, thus allowing me to leverage all of the buttons?
[20:31:26] justinh: possibly
[20:31:32] justinh: depends how capable the IR receiver is
[20:31:43] Ezun: justinh: I'm starting to learn that this whole endeavor was just for my "enjoyment" and the instant answer isn't always the fun one anyway
[20:31:57] justinh: and if the codes are too dissimilar you'd have to set it up as separate remotes in the lirc config
[20:32:17] justinh: meh. having to learn new stuff all the time is for people who have time
[20:32:57] purserj_ is now known as purserj
[20:33:01] Ezun: ok, will LIRC "accept" from two different remotes at the same time or would I have to change some config each time I wanted to use different functions?

[20:33:39] Ezun: so I'll stop pestering, you guys are always enormously helpful
[20:33:40] Ezun: thank you!

[20:33:47] justinh: lazy buggers
[20:33:52] Ezun: :-)
[20:34:05] Ezun: They're probably afraid of it – too many questions
[20:34:13] Ezun: from people like me, who want it to be simple
[20:34:14] skd5aner: yea – who would want to hang out there?!
[20:34:56] justinh: I got nowhere with lirc for days til I stopped trying to use the config files I found on the internet
[20:35:17] justinh: for the 10 minutes or so learning a config with irrecord can take..

[20:36:59] Ezun: yeah, couldn't get irrecord to work with audio_alsa driver
[20:37:10] Ezun: now that I have the IR receiver I'll try again.
[20:37:39] justinh: I'm amazed lirc even works with alsa in makebelieve land
[20:37:40] Ezun: I just have to pick a remote in my mythbuntu setup to start with.
[20:38:14] Ezun: it seemed like it was going to work, and i could even hear the sounds coming in and part mode2 or whatever could "see" it, but I couldn't make the next step happen.
[20:38:17] justinh: no mythtv distro in the world would ever work with my remote out of the box. I'm safe in that knowledge
[20:38:21] Ezun: so I gave up and got the reciever
[20:38:25] Ezun: but haven't done anything since
[20:38:33] Ezun: mine either
[20:38:39] Ezun: so I have to learn this darn thing.
[20:38:43] Ezun: :-\
[20:38:48] justinh: well, with ir receivers on tuner cards there's a whole new world of pain waiting for you
[20:39:00] Ezun: oh, GREAT
[20:39:04] justinh: all wrapped up in 'human interface device' hell
[20:39:04] Ezun: why do you say that?
[20:39:19] justinh: cross that bridge when you come to it. IF you do :)
[20:39:37] Ezun: I'm going to pretend like you didn't say that and assume it's going to work.
[20:39:44] justinh: ROFL
[20:39:55] Ezun: not to mention, my tuner card isn't officially supported.
[20:39:57] Ezun: by Myth
[20:40:04] justinh: yes, say hello to the Happy Little Elves while you're at it :D
[20:40:13] wagnerrp: almost no tuner cards are officially supported by myth
[20:40:15] Ezun: :-)
[20:40:30] Ezun: so do many people have the 2250?

[21:28:41] iamlindoro: part of the new channel scanner (which jacks up scan times, but produces more trustworthy results)
[21:29:27] kormoc: Sure, just decryptability implies decryption, which we don't do
[21:31:12] iamlindoro: But you can have channels which are falsely labeled as encrypted, or a user with a CAM
[21:31:26] kormoc: sure
[21:31:49] iamlindoro: so the new channel scanner has a toggle to test whether a channel is decryptable, or merely to trust the encrypted flag
[21:32:09] iamlindoro: the latter speeds up scan times considerably, AIUI
[21:32:14] kormoc: still, seems a silly word when it's more 'channel is playable'

[22:26:07] tzanger: slams the door shut and walks out of the room
[22:26:22] tzanger: after a few minutes he's calmed down and worried about what he did
[22:26:28] tzanger: cruelty to living creatures and all that
[22:26:37] tzanger: so he goes to the freezer opens the door and the bird walks out
[22:27:05] tzanger: the bird says in a very calm and polite manner "I'm terribly sorry for my previous behaviour. I promise I won't ever swear again."
[22:27:17] tzanger: "That's more like it," says the priest, and takes the bird back to the cage
[22:27:26] tzanger: "By the way," asks the parrot, "what'd the chicken do?"
[22:27:32] Beirdo: we so need a freezer in this channel sometimes
[22:27:35] Beirdo: heh

[22:40:47] sphery: now we just need to cut the branch/rc
[22:41:09] Wicked: he seems to post on the mailing lists...but im unsure if he goes on irc...and what he does by if he does go on irc
[22:41:16] Beirdo: he might be able to, Wicked. Not sure if he's on right now
[22:41:17] sphery: he's not in here now
[22:41:24] sphery: the mailing list is probably the best start
[22:41:38] Wicked: what nick does he go by?
[22:41:57] ** sphery wonders if he's allowed to say **
[22:42:02] Wicked: lol
[22:42:18] sphery: let's just say he stopped hanging out in #mythtv-users a couple years ago when he got busy
[22:42:36] Beirdo: he drops in from time to time, but not often
[22:42:41] Wicked: :(
[22:42:42] sphery: and if you send an e-mail to the users list, he'll likely see it and be able to set up a time/place to help if he has the time
[22:42:55] kormoc: and he doesn't go by the nick of kormoc or kormoc_ or even kormoc__
[22:43:20] Wicked: hmm
[22:43:42] sphery: wait, he's not kormoc

[22:49:39] sphery: thus the subject, "MythTV 0.23 – Problems with Arclight and Graphite"

[22:50:09] kormoc: well, it is iamlindoro's fault for bundling f12 and lirc with his themes after all
[22:50:33] iamlindoro: My theme is awesome, a free DVR with every purchase
[22:50:36] sphery: yeah, I heard he charged $15 for each of them, too
[22:51:20] sphery: FWIW, though, the thread is actually 2 threads--someone did a Reply to create a new thread
