[00:07:57] squish102: for time warner cable and a hdhomerun, should i be scanning us-cable, us-hrc or us-irc?
[00:08:33] sphery: depends on your cable provider, but most likely us-cable
[00:09:45] sphery: (I realize you mentioned your cable provider, but by that I meant I have no idea what your cable provider uses :)
[00:10:05] squish102: does it matter if i tell it to scan all 3?
[00:10:34] sphery: scan us-cable and if it gets your channels, you're good
[00:10:40] sphery: if not, use us-cable-hrc
[00:10:43] sphery: ...
[00:10:59] squish102: because it doesn't look like it is finding any of the clear-qam
[00:11:22] squish102: the "channel" number on the cable providers dvr is 1010

[00:50:20] npm: squish102: I too have problems w/ TimeWarnerCable and schedulesdirect ( [schedulesdirect.org #6323] )
[00:51:12] npm: basically, many digital cable channel numbers are wrong
[00:51:41] npm: e.g. KQED at 551 isn't even listed, but claims it's "E!"
[00:51:53] wagnerrp: so? those numbers are meaningless
[00:52:21] npm: so does that mean i have to correct them all by hand after doing a scan?
[00:52:21] wagnerrp: nevermind... im thinking from a digital tuner standpoint
[00:52:28] wagnerrp: if youre using a STB, theyre important
[00:52:34] npm: not using STB
[00:52:50] wagnerrp: if youre not using a STB, those numbers are meaningless
[00:53:06] npm: so what's the trick to getting the channels right?
[00:53:07] wagnerrp: all you care about is the XMLTV ID

[00:57:53] npm: so i have to follow http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/XMLTV_IDA and enter id's manually??
[00:58:17] wagnerrp: when you scan, your cableco may provide some channels names, or they may not
[00:58:32] wagnerrp: mythtv will try to automatically match up what names it can to the channels on SD
[00:58:43] wagnerrp: and everything else, you have to go into the channel editor and manually enter them
[00:59:47] styelz (styelz!~yoohoo@m0o0.mooo.com) has left #mythtv-users ("Leaving")
[01:00:01] npm: unfortunately, the channel editor locks the gui on my version of myth ( mythtv-0.22–6.fc12.x86_64 )
[01:00:11] iamlindoro: There are three channel editors
[01:00:14] iamlindoro: Use another one
[01:00:19] npm: so i have to do it in the setup
[01:00:20] iamlindoro: Mythweb, live TV, mythtv-setup
[01:00:39] iamlindoro: laternatively, use another playback profile which seems to fix it for those who have issues with the live one
[01:00:58] iamlindoro: mythweb probably being the easiest since you can do all of them in one form
[01:01:07] npm: oh, forgot about that one!
[01:01:16] npm: thx for the suggest

[02:01:15] wagnerrp: change the channel? what are you talking about?
[02:01:31] wagnerrp: you mean stop playback, and watch another recording?
[02:01:51] mag0o: hehe, this is really live tv

[02:20:17] nichos: iamlindoro: for some reason that slider doesnt even show up in my alsamixer (non gui)
[02:20:42] iamlindoro: nichos, Did you move to the second page?
[02:20:49] nichos: i read on a msg board that if it doesnt, try alsa gui

[02:21:10] nichos: same thing?
[02:21:23] iamlindoro: not exactly
[02:21:30] iamlindoro: never mind, not worth splitting hairs

[02:30:15] Beirdo: first day of work went pretty well
[02:32:19] sphery: Beirdo: yeah... not really your responsibility, but I thought you seemed to have a better plan than I did
[02:32:27] sphery: I'll keep thinking
[02:32:36] Beirdo: I will too :)
[02:32:50] Beirdo: with a bunch of us thinking, we'll come up with something usable
[02:32:57] sphery: cool
[02:33:17] sphery: even the stuff on the wiki has the issue that random people could edit it and make scripts that do bad things
[02:33:32] wagnerrp: is that really a problem?
[02:33:37] sphery: hasn't been
[02:33:38] wagnerrp: you can just revert it and ban them
[02:33:45] wagnerrp: no different from any other page
[02:33:54] sphery: right... but that presumes we catch it before someone runs the bad script :)
[02:34:02] Beirdo: I'd rather see real version control, not wiki
[02:34:08] sphery: would be nice
[02:34:17] wagnerrp: although i will agree that this is not something wikimedia was really designed for
[02:34:24] wagnerrp: mediawiki
[02:35:01] sphery: version control with some create-an-account-with-e-mail-authentication authorization involved
[02:35:08] sphery: that would be nice
[02:35:15] Beirdo: yeah
[02:35:23] Beirdo: that's almost sourceforge material
[02:35:30] Beirdo: but that's a bit overkill
[02:35:34] sphery: yeah
[02:35:58] wagnerrp: maybe something that anyone could edit, but would show up as 'unstable' until a dev confirms it?
[02:35:59] sphery: and I think sf requires people to give permissions to the repo\
[02:36:15] Beirdo: sphery: yeah
[02:36:27] sphery: wagnerrp: that might work
[02:36:42] wagnerrp: perhaps lock those pages, but allow other users to work on an unstable copy on the talk page?
[02:36:49] markl_: is anyone able to help me figure out why it takes so long for mythbackend to respond to a mythweb request? i am doing: wget http://localhost/mythweb/status
[02:37:02] markl_: the system is at like .1 load avg, and this request takes like 5 minutes
[02:37:13] sphery: is it possible with mediawiki to allow only specific users edit access to pages without setting up groups/roles for each one?
[02:37:14] wagnerrp: once a dev confirms it, they move it to the main page
[02:37:22] Beirdo: wagnerrp: that's why I say github, in a way. people can make as many forks as they want
[02:37:26] sphery: markl_: running a long-running miscellaneous status info script?
[02:37:35] sphery: and how long is "so long"
[02:37:51] sphery: Beirdo: that sounds cool
[02:38:01] sphery: forkin' cool :)
[02:38:31] Beirdo: aye
[02:38:35] markl_: i started it about 3 minutes ago with "time"
[02:38:48] markl_: i would expect status to usually come back instantly
[02:39:09] markl_: and if not, for the disk/cpu/database to show some activity
[02:40:01] markl_: real 4m0.630s
[02:40:19] sphery: anything in backend logs?
[02:41:07] markl_: 2010-04–19 00:00:39.657 MythSocket(ffffffffade00848:25): readStringList: Error, timed out after 30000 ms.
[02:41:10] markl_: QMutex::unlock: mutex lock failure:
[02:41:13] nichos: ok, 1 more newb question, when I reboot the front end won't work, unless i run mythsetup first, exit, and do the fill database. how can i automate that? when i sudo mythfilldatabase, it doesn't cure it
[02:41:19] markl_: at midnight
[02:41:21] sphery: markl_: trunk?
[02:41:32] wagnerrp: nichos: mythbuntu?
[02:41:38] nichos: yep:)
[02:41:54] sphery: don't do the filldatabase each time
[02:41:59] markl_: 0.23.0+fixes24177–0ubuntu0+mythbuntu1
[02:42:01] wagnerrp: when you run mythtv-setup on mythbuntu, it automatically stops the backend
[02:42:03] sphery: chances are you've just got a broken config.xml/mysql.txt
[02:42:08] sphery: or that...
[02:42:10] wagnerrp: whatever is going wrong, you have to restart the backend
[02:42:13] sphery: restarts mythbackend...
[02:42:18] wagnerrp: running mythtv-setup and mythfilldatabase does nothing
[02:42:27] nichos: so that's what i need to do, restart backed

[02:43:25] nichos: so you claim i can run the setup, quit it and say NO to the fill database, and it should work huh?
[02:43:32] wagnerrp: are you watching livetv, and hard reset your frontend?
[02:43:33] iamlindoro: We're all wrong sometimes, self especially
[02:43:45] markl_: i thought i was wrong once
[02:43:48] markl_: but i was wrong
[02:44:06] nichos: its right after reboot, i go to watch live
[02:44:17] nichos: then i quite frontend via the menu and launch setup

[02:45:14] wagnerrp: the backend and frontend are both on that machine?

[02:52:58] sphery: the mediation was the episode where they had to eat the huge sub right?
[02:53:00] iamlindoro: At least in the SNL movies it was done with a sarcastic wink-nudge
[02:53:16] iamlindoro: sphery, Where Casey had to apologize to Jeff and Lester over Subway
[02:53:56] wagnerrp: i didnt even know that was a subway

[03:59:45] MonkSix: ugly how?
[03:59:52] MonkSix: if you don't mind explaining..

[04:00:18] Captain_Murdoch: MonkSix, all my frontends and slave backends PXE boot.
[04:00:21] MonkSix: ahh...gotcha
[04:00:29] [R]: i just have a usb stick with extlinux and my kernel and ramdisk on it
[04:00:40] [R]: right now i just have 1 extliniux line... my long term goal is to get a splash going on that one
[04:00:51] MonkSix: rgr
[04:00:56] [R]: 1 text line from extlinux*
[04:01:36] [R]: oh... and another long term goal is to live on a cloud of gumdrops and get nouveau to play nicely with the closed source nvidia driver... but thats never gonna happen
[04:01:38] MonkSix: I've never used Myth (or any pvr/htpc setup for that matter) was reading about MythTV and it sounded interesting...
[04:01:54] MonkSix: haha...one can dream..
[04:02:34] MonkSix: Captain_Murdoch, was it very difficult to get that all working?
[04:03:30] [R]: MonkSix: mythubuntu makes it stupid simple
[04:03:51] MonkSix: ok...that was gonna be my next question...what distro are ppl using...
[04:03:58] MonkSix: mythbuntu seems really easy..
[04:04:18] Captain_Murdoch: depends on what you want to use it for. I use a single NFS root image and a custom script to let me share it between the 5–6 clients.
[04:04:32] Captain_Murdoch: yeah, better stickingwith a distro thatsupports it if you can since you're new to it.

[04:16:52] [R]: wagnerrp: ?
[04:17:35] wagnerrp: not LTS... what am i thinking of
[04:17:45] wagnerrp: TSP
[04:18:26] [R]: it seemed the same in 9.10 as it is in 10.04
[04:18:46] [R]: anyway... in myth 0.22 i could put themes in ~/.mythtv/themes and everyhting was happy, in 0.23 it doesn't like it
[04:18:57] wagnerrp: i could be wrong about that
[04:19:02] wagnerrp: but i remember someone talking about it a while back
[04:19:02] [R]: the main theme is ok, but the name shows up blank in the theme setting window... it just does not like it for the osd at all
[04:19:24] [R]: was there some kind of change in that code do yuou know?
[04:19:38] wagnerrp: not that i know of, i didnt even know you could put stuff in there

[04:22:44] [R]: i'm not using grub because its too complciated
[04:23:05] wagnerrp: generally one would claim the opposite
[04:23:22] [R]: extlinux is dead simple
[04:24:44] wagnerrp: ive only use pxelinux
[04:25:05] wagnerrp: i just figured generally you only used those if you needed to do something more complex than grub/lilo could handle
[04:25:39] markl_: mythtv thinks i have 3 encoders when i only set up one hdhr (2 tuners)
[04:25:39] wagnerrp: anyway, that family of programs uses a special compiled menu program
[04:25:53] wagnerrp: markl_: you set one of those up to have two virtual tuners
[04:26:03] [R]: wagnerrp: yeah... it'll be a fun exersize
[04:26:36] wagnerrp: i just have a cheap white text in a blue box on black background that i found... somewhere
[04:26:41] wagnerrp: maybe it came with the program
[04:26:50] [R]: i dont want a menu
[04:26:53] wagnerrp: i know ubuntu has their own custom skinned splash
[04:26:53] [R]: its silent right now
[04:26:55] [R]: but its boring
[04:26:56] [R]: i want a splash
[04:27:17] wagnerrp: the splash only shows up while the menu is on screen
[04:27:34] markl_: wagnerrp: ah you are a genius
[04:27:37] wagnerrp: or do you mean general linux fbsplash?
[04:27:41] [R]: no, before the kernel
[04:27:50] [R]: i want a splash while it's loading the kernel/ramdisk
[04:28:00] wagnerrp: i dont think it will do that
[04:28:02] [R]: or maybe i should just get a faster flash drive... mine seems absurdly slow
[04:28:12] [R]: it takes like 3 minutes to copy 8mb
[04:28:13] [R]: is that slow?
[04:28:18] wagnerrp: maybe you should just put it in standby... :P
[04:28:23] markl_: yes that is slow
[04:28:36] [R]: i can't, because the backend shuts down
[04:28:41] [R]: we've gone over this a few times
[04:28:41] [R]: :)
[04:29:14] wagnerrp: wire up a PIC with a timer to the mobo power button
[04:29:26] [R]: and have the pic send the WOL?
[04:29:34] wagnerrp: sure
[04:29:36] [R]: haha
[04:29:52] [R]: im alreayd planning on 1 pic
[04:29:55] [R]: i dont need a second one
[04:30:23] [R]: well i guess i could do it with one... but i dont have a pic that can do networking
[04:31:02] Captain_Murdoch: no 24x7 fileserver?
[04:31:13] [R]: no, just my backend which shuts down when its idle
[04:32:11] wagnerrp: make a 24x7 file server?
[04:32:15] [R]: i dont need one
[04:32:40] wagnerrp: oh, everyone needs one
[04:32:45] wagnerrp: they just dont realize it
[04:32:56] Captain_Murdoch: make a custom initrd that is very very tiny, with just a statically compiled wakelan binary and custom init script. kernel and initrd load, wakelan wakes up the backend and waits for it to come alive, then copies the initrd off the master backend and mounts it.
[04:32:58] wagnerrp: :)
[04:33:24] [R]: Captain_Murdoch: my initrd already sends the wol
[04:33:31] [R]: Captain_Murdoch: the problem was about having the comptuer go to sleep
[04:33:36] Captain_Murdoch: then why do you need a 8MB image just to WOL?
[04:33:45] [R]: its the stupid ubuntu crap
[04:33:51] [R]: they have the kitchen sink in there
[04:33:59] Captain_Murdoch: hence the word custom in my message. :)
[04:34:08] Captain_Murdoch: just wakelan and busybox needed. :))
[04:34:10] [R]: well theres nothign wrong with what i have now
[04:34:10] Captain_Murdoch: :) even
[04:34:32] [R]: although it would be3 intersting to see how fast i could make it by stripping down the ramdisk
[04:34:40] ** wagnerrp doesnt need initrds... **
[04:35:21] [R]: am i missing something? in apt, how do you install a .deb file with full deps?
[04:35:29] Captain_Murdoch: wagnerrp, neither do I. :) my shared nfsroot image works great with PXE booting.
[04:35:47] [R]: i dont do PXE because its ugly when my computer is doing it
[04:35:55] wagnerrp: Captain_Murdoch: technically i have one, its just compiled into the kernel
[04:36:46] wagnerrp: i need a bit of userland configuration that the basic kernel cant provide
[04:37:12] Beirdo: YAY
[04:37:13] Captain_Murdoch: just to get the net up?

[04:46:43] Beirdo: the yeast, etc. I forget :)
[04:46:57] Beirdo: basically, cider uses a yeast that is much like beer yeasts
[04:47:14] Beirdo: I used champagne yeast, and got something about 16% alcohol.
[04:47:40] wagnerrp: all yeast is going to get you about 16%
[04:47:53] wagnerrp: thats just where it gets before it poisons itself
[04:48:18] wagnerrp: you just have to distill/dilute it from there
[04:48:20] Beirdo: no
[04:48:33] Beirdo: most cider yeasts die way earlier
[04:48:43] Beirdo: champagne yeasts top at 21% or so

[05:14:13] wagnerrp: seems iamlindoro is getting yet more hate... http://www.mythtvtalk.com/forum/installation- . . . ml#post51585
[05:14:23] Beirdo: justdave: you take a big baggie of weed... oh wait, different hash
[05:14:37] sphery: I'm not complaining or saying we need to reopen the ticket... I'm just trying to figure it out for my own benefit.
[05:14:37] justdave: ahah, that explains the length of the hash
[05:14:39] ** iamlindoro goes to look **
[05:15:04] iamlindoro: ha
[05:15:31] sphery: heh
[05:15:36] Captain_Murdoch: sphery, I think it may cure the issue. I have no idea what this ---> artworkHost = (*(m_progLists[groupname].begin()))->hostname; <--- will evaluate to with an empty list.
[05:16:11] Captain_Murdoch: actually, where groupname is non-empty but there are no items in the list for that group.
[05:16:24] iamlindoro: wagnerrp, thank you for responding
[05:17:13] wagnerrp: iamlindoro: figured i should, considering i was the first person to not spend the time to learn fedora from scratch just explain to this user how to fix their broken libraries
[05:17:38] iamlindoro: wagnerrp, and in fairness, I did politely ask him to seek help on the users list
[05:18:10] sphery: Captain_Murdoch: yeah, but the first ones weren't in that code... they were in the line QString groupKey = QString("%1:%2").arg(storage_group).arg(hostname); (granted, before it was moved around, and technically in memcpy() called by QString functions)
[05:18:25] Captain_Murdoch: sphery, right, that hostname is the artworkHost above.
[05:18:38] Captain_Murdoch: it's passed into findArtworkFile
[05:18:42] wagnerrp: iamlindoro: there, fixed

[05:21:37] sphery: anyway, not really important as you've fixed the issue for him
[05:21:59] kormoc is now known as kormoc_afk
[05:22:02] sphery: I just wondered what was happening
[05:23:55] Captain_Murdoch: not sure. if we have a group with no recordings, then m_progLists[groupname] doesn't exist. in this case, I think we'd define an empty list, and do a .begin() on it which would return the same as .end(); when we dereference that as a ProgramInfo pointed to who knows what and get the QString hostname that that fictitious ProgramInfo is pointed to. who knows where in memory that fictitious QString hostname is looking at.
[05:27:19] sphery: makes sense
[05:27:25] wagnerrp: does it seem unlikely to anyone else that this tiny cable is rated at 14A? http://www.woot.com
[05:27:29] sphery: amazing that it would get that far, though
[05:28:11] wagnerrp: are those cigarette lighter sockets in cars even good for 14A?
[05:28:37] sphery: who wants to wait 30 whole seconds for the lighter to warm up?
[05:28:58] Captain_Murdoch: wagnerrp, yeah, usually rated 15 or 20A
[05:29:01] iamlindoro: I think my cigarette lighter is on a 15 amp fuse
[05:29:13] iamlindoro: though there might be other stuff on it
[05:29:20] wagnerrp: come on sphery, no one uses those to light cigarettes
[05:29:26] wagnerrp: thats what the last butt is for
[05:29:33] sphery: heh
[05:30:04] sphery: In newer cars, the socket often ships with a plastic dummy plug, without the heating element (i.e. without the lighter) due to declining popularity (and legality) of smoking
[05:30:10] sphery: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cigar_lighter_receptacle#Lighter
[05:30:21] sphery: is smoking illegal some places?
[05:30:24] Captain_Murdoch: 'accessory plugs'
[05:30:54] Captain_Murdoch: sphery, I think it is with kids in the car in some places.
[05:31:02] sphery: ah... that makes sense
[05:31:23] sphery: all I could think of was restaurants and public buildings--where I don't normally see people driving cars inside
[05:35:27] wagnerrp: i dont understand smoking bans in restaurants
[05:36:54] iamlindoro: wagnerrp, Particularly funny in light of the guy being upset about being responded to tersely, I just reread the ticket itself
[05:37:06] iamlindoro: No description, not even a sentence fragment
[05:37:59] sphery: _ZNK16QAbstractSpinBox16inputMethodQueryEN2Qt16InputMethodQueryE isn't clear enough to you?
[05:38:11] wagnerrp: its perfectly clear to me
[05:38:12] iamlindoro: Clear enough to tell me it was user/packager error ;)
[05:38:16] sphery: I'm sure Microsoft would understand it

[05:39:54] iamlindoro: Thing is, I really am trying hard to be explanatory and courteous when I close a ticket--- admittedly I could have been moreso there, but there wasn't much to say
[05:40:16] sphery: I really wonder aobut his "[MS] would be all over this issue" comment... Do they actually respond to user-reported bugs/issues? That's not my experience with them--well, unless the user was paying for a very expensive support contract.
[05:40:20] iamlindoro: ie, when someone submits a patch we won't take, I try to make them feel appreciated, when someone reports something invalid, I try to explainhow
[05:40:29] wagnerrp: 'broken packages' does it for me
[05:40:47] wagnerrp: if i had broken packages, i would go search for help from the person who supplied those packages
[05:40:54] wagnerrp: which was obviously mythtv developers
[05:42:37] sphery: when I buy a new Dell computer and get the video drivers for the nvidia card from Dell and they don't work properly, I go straight to nvidia. It just makes more sense that way--cut out the middle man.
[05:43:13] iamlindoro: Ha, I found another thread angry at me
[05:44:03] iamlindoro: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1348410
[05:45:57] wagnerrp: seriously, who still plays CDs
[05:46:04] sphery: I mean, if I tell nvidia, "I installed NVIDIA_MULTI-DEVICE_A08_R190091.exe from Dell's website and my video doesn't work," they should be able to figure it out, right?
[05:46:32] iamlindoro: And it's funny because I never touched severity on the ticket
[05:47:52] sphery: "MythTV is touted as the Mythical All In one solution"
[05:47:54] sphery: is it?
[05:48:01] wagnerrp: well obviously its your fault for not recognizing its a high priority problem, and upgrading it
[05:48:16] iamlindoro: Ah, so not changing the priority is where I went wrong :)
[05:48:27] wagnerrp: well it is the 'mythical convergence device', whatever that is supposed to mean
[05:49:04] iamlindoro: Definitely not a motto, though
[05:49:46] sphery: One would have thought the ability for MythTV to Play CDs was not "Minor".

[06:19:02] sphery: cool

[06:54:25] [R]: and how it was encoded

[06:54:44] wagnerrp: its a 1.6GHz single core atom
[06:55:03] wagnerrp: which means it might play broadcast 1080i, if it is of sufficiently low bitrate
[06:55:04] jst_: MPEG-TS, 12.5 Mbps.

[07:00:20] [R]: yeah but thats VBR
[07:00:23] wagnerrp: the recommended bitrate is just to run CBR and set it at whatever the maximum your hardware can support
[07:00:30] justinh: grrr. stupid manager is still going on about this 'number plate flicker' thing he wants for an ANPR demo. Yeah like we can make something to display car number plates in sequence, out of real number plates.. with no machine shop & no budget for fancy stuff like motors etc

[07:14:32] wagnerrp: justinh: awww... thats a great movie
[07:14:48] wagnerrp: its fun if you dont take it too seriously
[07:14:51] [R]: sphery: it works fine in /usr/share/mythtv/themes though
[07:14:52] AndyCap: wagnerrp: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IJhlD6q71YA ?
[07:14:52] dfletcher: plus leelu is totally hot
[07:15:19] sphery: and how does it not work in ~/.mythtv/themes ?
[07:15:20] [R]: sphery: if i have myth set to use the theme, then move it to ~/.mythtv/themes in the appearance dialog the name shows up blank, and if i scroll thru the list, the theme isn't there
[07:15:37] [R]: sphery: but it still "works"... osd themes dont work at all in there
[07:15:52] wagnerrp: AndyCap: yeah, there it is, 1:05 in
[07:15:56] AndyCap: wagnerrp: or even better http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IJhlD6q71YA#t=0m58
[07:16:07] sphery: ah, you mean, "so does anyone know why ~/.mythtv/themes doesn't work so well in myth*tv-setup* 0.23?"
[07:16:08] AndyCap: very neat youtube trick. :P
[07:16:13] sphery: that's a whole different question
[07:16:25] [R]: sphery: not setup...
[07:16:30] wagnerrp: cool
[07:16:52] sphery: [R]: er, mythfrontend settings
[07:17:12] sphery: but it's only mfe settings that doesn't work since the theme selector doesn't look there
[07:17:16] [R]: sphery: well the osd theme doenst work at all if i do the same procedure that works for the regaular theme... it just falls back to the default
[07:17:35] [R]: although to be honest, i dont know if that worked in 0.22
[07:18:07] sphery: yeah, OSD themes are handled differently and might not work in ~/.mythtv/themes
[07:18:41] [R]: ah
[07:18:57] sphery: but mythfrontend settings theme picker in 0.23 that won't look in ~/.mythtv/themes for any (UI, MENU, OSD) themes.
[07:19:14] sphery: and UI themes in ~/.mythtv/themes work fine--just not in the theme picker
[07:19:25] sphery: and the theme picker will likely be replaced with something much better for 0.24
[07:19:28] [R]: ah
[07:19:34] [R]: so i shoduln't waste my time on it?
[07:19:35] sphery: (I don't think iamlindoro has already committed that)
[07:20:00] sphery: and OSD themes will be totally different as soon as the libmythui-osd branch is merged
[07:20:27] sphery: so I'd recommend just using your $SHAREDIR/themes dir for 0.23
[07:20:39] [R]: okay, sounds fine
[07:20:40] [R]: thanks
[07:20:49] [R]: one of these days... i'm going to find a bug that i can fix though
[07:20:49] [R]: haha

[07:53:45] Tanthrix: Anything over $120 just feels arbitrarily too expensive for a drive ;-)
[07:54:07] wagnerrp: is $70 for 1TB too expensive?
[07:54:18] Tanthrix: No, that's a good price.

[07:54:32] wagnerrp: but its the same price as that $140 2TB drive
[07:54:34] Tanthrix: Arbitrarily speaking. Not price/gb speaking.
[07:55:10] wagnerrp: of course the 2TB drive will actually be cheaper, because it will fit in a smaller case, and use less energy, than 2 1TB drives
[07:55:44] sphery: and may actually use less energy than 1 1TB drive
[07:55:51] Tanthrix: Indeed. Storage drives are just like a commodity for me, though. I'm used to buying $100 a drive max. Going over that feels wrong, in the same way I don't think I could ever bring myself to buy a mouse or an IEC power cable.

[07:59:32] Tanthrix: So, anyone have experiece running cable in a modern house with 2 feet thick of blown in insulation?
[07:59:37] justinh: ah well, so much for that idea. plates mounted on a hexagonal section rotor are out of the question.. apparently the plates have to 'flick' into view quickly. people believe what they see on Mythbusters way too much
[07:59:49] justinh: Tanthrix: cable pulling fish poles ftw
[08:00:11] wagnerrp: SDLC?
[08:00:20] [R]: Tanthrix: just push it out of the way
[08:00:29] Tanthrix: justinh: Hrm. That would make things easier, but I can't imagine doing that without having to cut some pretty big access holes in the ceiling.
[08:00:31] [R]: Tanthrix: i ran speaker wires through my attic
[08:00:53] Tanthrix: 2 feet thick is a pain..this isn't 6 inches of rolled fiberglass
[08:01:17] [R]: mine was pretty deep, although maybe it wasn't 2 feet
[08:01:38] Tanthrix: It seems the only option is to swim through it...going on top would work with plywood, but smashing it down makes it lose its effectiveness
[08:01:58] Tanthrix: May have to end up going under the house...shudder
[08:02:14] justinh: make a small hole in the wall & suck the insulation out for a while?
[08:02:16] justinh: ;)
[08:02:23] Tanthrix: hehe
[08:02:40] justinh: then blow it all back in when you're done. simples!
[08:02:46] Tanthrix: This is a house I'm in the process of buying, incidentally. I wonder what manner of awfulness is hidden under that insulation
[08:03:03] justinh: there are walls 2 feet thick?
[08:03:11] Tanthrix: This is in the attic
[08:03:12] [R]: Tanthrix: make sure its not a dead body
[08:03:15] justinh: ah
[08:03:37] Tanthrix: The entire part above livable space has 2 feet thick. Not exaggerating – it really is a sight to behold. R38
[08:03:44] justinh: I need to pull new cables upstairs from the cupboard under the stairs where my 'node 0' now lives
[08:04:18] sphery: wagnerrp: don't see the reply... about the hard drive? not about the DRM/CableCard thing, right?

[08:04:51] sphery: oh, that one
[08:05:17] justinh: the existing cables – I thought I could just pull them back upstairs with the new ones attached – but no.. apparently I had the foresight to clip the cables down behind the stairs
[08:05:39] Tanthrix: hehe
[08:05:42] iamlindoro: wagnerrp, http://www.mythtvtalk.com/forum/installation- . . . ml#post51591
[08:05:42] Tanthrix: Good thinking.
[08:06:02] Tanthrix: Always futureproof. Leave pull cords – nylon string is cheap.
[08:06:27] sphery: iamlindoro: nice
[08:06:36] justinh: yeah well this time I'm gonna pull the stair backing panel off & put 2 lengths of round conduit in

[12:55:25] gbee: I managed to move my parents to linux (condition of my being their unpaid tech support) and they took to it well, OOO + Firefox and they can barely tell the difference

I know the DVB-C provider did some changes in start of April and figured that it might be the reason. I just got a DVB-C settopbox and it works! How do i debug on this? The support says that the signal levels i'm having with MythTV is fine and the channels are found fine by MythTV...

[16:24:47] wagnerrp: Antagonist: mythtv has nothing that uses a microphone, so anything you want to do with one wont conflict with anything
[16:25:40] Antagonist: I have found some mention of mythtv being combined with sphinx, a voice recognition system. Very very little details though... Mostly to do with Asterik, a telephony system that suggests its used with telephone handsets, but nothing like a room mic in your TV room. Is there technical problems or is it just not... a popular setup I guess?
[16:25:47] gbee: it's unfortunately gone downhill in the last two series, what once 'appeared' to be genuine events is now so clearly staged and scripted, and not especially funny :/

[16:28:48] trumee: is there any place i can check why mythtv configure is complaining about QtWebKit? i spent the last 4 hours rebuilding Qt with Qtwebkit and i now mythtv is crapping out with this error :(
[16:28:50] sphery: Peitolm: Without full output, I can't say for sure, but it looks like only card 2, input 2 is connected. Also, the source ID 0 stuff seems very wrong (unless it's a new code that indicates something special--but I'm pretty sure it's not).
[16:28:52] Peitolm: gbee: as far as i can see
[16:29:01] Peitolm: sourceID 0
[16:29:04] Peitolm: hrm
[16:29:04] Antagonist: aka wtf is stopping me from sitting on my couch, shouting out 'Computer, change channel to Discovery World please' and having it actually do it
[16:29:27] sphery: Peitolm: I'd guess you have an input connections misconfig and need to do the video sources (and should probably also do the capture card) portion of http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/mythtv/users/264034#264034
[16:29:43] wagnerrp: Antagonist: effort on your part
[16:29:59] sphery: it's easier to clear everything and start configuring from a known state rather than trying to find and then fix whatever problem(s) you have in your current config
[16:30:10] wagnerrp: Antagonist: nearly all users are perfectly content with an IR remote, so voice command is a very rarely used technology
[16:30:21] sphery: especially when you have some hints on how to properly configure it this time :)
[16:30:40] Antagonist: wagnerrp: I'm operating on the expectation that I cannot be the first to have considered it, so the lack of information on the subject is stunning to me.
[16:30:48] Peitolm: sphery it's odd. I think I set it up the same as the other channels that are the same on both source ID 1 and Source ID 3
[16:31:00] Peitolm: sphery: it just doesn't seem to work for Five
[16:31:13] sphery: Peitolm: well, it's not listing source ID 3 at all in that output
[16:31:22] wagnerrp: just because youre not the first to do it, doesnt mean other people to do it previously have well documented their procedure
[16:31:23] sphery: seems it's only scheduling on source 1
[16:31:32] sphery: and 0 should not exist
[16:31:51] sphery: then again, it may try schedulign on source 3 later in the trimmed stuff
[16:32:00] Peitolm: sphery let me check
[16:32:18] Peitolm: sphery: yes it does
[16:32:28] sphery: so how many sources do you have? What physical recording sources are you using?

[16:33:20] wagnerrp: Antagonist: voice recognition was a 'cool new technology' 10–15 years ago
[16:33:20] Peitolm: I have 3 in total, one of which is well, off ( it was a single use one)
[16:33:33] Peitolm: so I have 2 sources, PVR-350 and satellite
[16:33:36] sphery: Peitolm: can you pastebin: mysql -umythtv -p mythconverg -e 'select sourceid, name from videosource;'
[16:33:48] Antagonist: wagnerrp: And its only really becoming practical in recent years
[16:33:57] wagnerrp: the fact that it has gone nowhere since then indicates that it will be nothing but awkward to use until we develop proper natural language processing
[16:34:05] Peitolm: sphery: satellite should be preferred, as it's a straight MPEG2 dump
[16:34:16] wagnerrp: which wont be until around the same time as we develop AI
[16:34:42] Peitolm: | 1 | Radio Times |

[16:39:43] trumee: can somebody help me in compiling mythtv.
[16:39:47] wagnerrp: its not that we have anything against third party access to the backend and database
[16:39:51] Antagonist: Well, I'll see if I can get http://misterhouse.sourceforge.net/ working with voice, apparently it can easily send commands to MythTV
[16:39:56] pac0: how can i now what chipset uses my card?
[16:40:12] wagnerrp: the problem is that mythbox in xbmc is an ugly hack, and does some very bad things in regards to interfacing with mythtv
[16:40:26] ikevin: hi
[16:40:35] trumee: The configure command doesnt seem to find the QtWebkit headers.
[16:41:05] Peitolm: wagnerrp: it might do, but it works on my mac, mythfrontend barfs, but I'm not sure xbmc is the issue here, I thought there were using lbmyth correctly now (even if it's out of date)
[16:41:10] wagnerrp: Peitolm: mythtv has version checks in place, to ensure that clients connecting to it are up to date with current protocols, and mythbox blatently ignores those checks and connects anyway
[16:41:26] Peitolm: mythbox? not using it
[16:41:36] sphery: Peitolm: I'd suggest you do the video sources (and possibly capture card) reset... Figuring out what's misconfigured can take hours--versus minutes to clear and reconfigure everything.
[16:41:41] ikevin: i try to setup a dvb-t card on myth to get tnt hd working, so, the appliance i use is not sufficient to get it working (image still freeze), i've a server at home to manage the mysql server
[16:41:42] sphery: from the post I linked before
[16:41:57] wagnerrp: Peitolm: did someone write a tvheadend module for mythtv?
[16:42:06] wagnerrp: if not mythbox, what are you using?
[16:42:09] ikevin: can i setup the backend on the server with my dvb-t card on and getting tnt working via network?
[16:43:09] Peitolm: sphery: I know how long it took to setup the channels in the first place, (A v.long time to get the channel numbering all sorted ), I don't have the luxury of a direct connection to my cable box
[16:43:36] keith4_: if I were interested in donating money or buying some needed hardware for mythtv devs, is there any info on what's needed in the wiki?

[16:45:09] iamlindoro: wagnerrp: They use libcmyth (for their myth:// support), it's the same (fakes 8, then lies)
[16:45:54] wagnerrp: Peitolm: see iamlindoro's comment
[16:46:09] wagnerrp: Peitolm: those are the 'bad things' xbmc is doing when interfacing with mythtv
[16:46:40] Peitolm: sphery: yeah, i do, I understand why you're saying it, but with 80 odd channels and the impact it would have if i get it wrong (read Wife us Myth more more than i do)
[16:46:53] sphery: and when you fake a protocol, you're sending the wrong info/info out of order/... and hoping things just work
[16:47:14] sphery: not to mention, they probably do direct DB access (meaning they could corrupt the whole DB)
[16:47:28] iamlindoro: the funny thing is even libcmyth doesn't speak protocol 8, they speak some intermediate version
[16:47:38] iamlindoro: so if the server responded "yeah, sure, I speak 8" it would REALLY break
[16:48:59] Peitolm: sphery: but would that have an affect on the sheduling
[16:49:00] trumee: ok, if nobody seems to know about QtWebkit, will my compile run into problems if i am getting this message "Warning! QtWebkit headers not found, MythBrowser will not work."
[16:49:17] sphery: Peitolm: it's more likely your configuration is breaking scheduling
[16:49:25] trumee: I dont want to compile for 2 hours before getting an error message
[16:49:26] iamlindoro: trumee: yes, QtWebkit is required
[16:49:35] trumee: iamlindoro: oh, crap

That would allow users to get all icons back just from a restored DB. Currently channel.icon is 255 chars, so should work for most sane URI's. Would you ...
[17:38:22] sphery: ... be opposed to something like that?
[17:39:12] sphery: gbee: also, johnnyj was looking for something to work on and I suggested the channel icon downloader since I had heard a lot of devs complain about its code (and got the impression that it needed rewriting). Is that the case? Do you have any specific desires?

[20:12:45] araldit: yeah. My antenna is not as good as the sattelite dish one
[20:12:50] avivg: I have problems setting up my Leadtek DTV 1800H card – anyone has experience with this HW?
[20:13:18] wagnerrp: 'lag' implies that the signal is sent at a later time

[20:13:39] wagnerrp: is that what you mean? or are you saying you dont get good reception with your antenna (DVB-T)
[20:14:14] araldit: wagnerrp: well its not that, but it sometimes disappears for seconds.. Its not as stable as the dvb-s one

[20:14:41] araldit: wagnerrp: But its ok if everything else fails

[20:15:16] sphery: araldit: read section 12.6 of the HOWTO (actually read all of section 12 but pay particular attention to 12.6)
[20:15:29] sphery: http://www.mythtv.org/docs/mythtv-HOWTO-12.html
[20:16:01] wagnerrp: sphery: we have a 3D computer at work
[20:16:21] wagnerrp: if you make the assumption that half the world and the people at the Inquirer make that 'computer' means 'monitor'
[20:16:23] sphery: but now they're focusing on gamers/consumers
[20:16:40] sphery: I'll admit, though, that for gaming it's not as bad as for general usage (like with a TV)
[20:17:18] J-e-f-f-A: sphery: Did you read that whole article, especially the next-to-last paragraph???
[20:17:34] wagnerrp: J-e-f-f-A: its like shes right there on your lap
[20:17:37] sphery: I saw How to Train Your Dragon in RealD 3D this weekend, and the 3D was a bit flat--it added absolutely nothing to the story. It was 3D for 3D's sake.
[20:17:47] ** J-e-f-f-A laughs! **
[20:17:52] wagnerrp: sphery: what 3D isnt?
[20:18:04] sphery: yeah
[20:19:01] araldit: sphery: That howto chapter talks about scheduling. I get that, and I have done that type of priority control. That does, however, not seem to comply to live tv. As far as I have tested, anyway.
[20:19:05] sphery: the important part is that I've now seen a non-space, non-IMAX 3D movie (besides anaglyph ones) so now I actually have some basis for my opinion
[20:19:26] sphery: araldit: livetv is a whole different thing
[20:19:27] andreax1 (andreax1!~andreaz@p57B964CB.dip.t-dialin.net) has joined #mythtv-users
[20:19:39] wagnerrp: TBH, i dont even like 3D IMAX stuff
[20:19:47] wagnerrp: it just gives me a headache
[20:19:50] araldit: sphery: Yeah
[20:20:13] J-e-f-f-A: wagnerrp: Yeah, me too. Unless I sit in the BACK row...
[20:20:13] sphery: basically you need to either disable Avoid conflicts between recordings and Live TV or map a key to NEXTCARD so you can get off the bad card if you don't want to use it for LiveTV
[20:20:25] J-e-f-f-A: wagnerrp: the screen is way too big for 3D – IMHO.
[20:20:25] sphery: but priorities have /nothing/ to do with Live TV input selection
[20:20:30] wagnerrp: the omnimax stuff is so much more enveloping than anything 3D IMAX could do
[20:21:00] wagnerrp: weve got one of the few of those at the local museum
[20:21:03] sphery: JEDIDIAH__: heh, hadn't gotten that far
[20:21:05] wagnerrp: its amazing
[20:21:10] sphery: er, that was for J-e-f-f-A
[20:21:13] J-e-f-f-A: araldit: or press your "Menu" key and select a different source/tuner. ;-)

[20:21:45] wagnerrp: i would trade 3d for surround any day
[20:21:47] sphery: wagnerrp: I felt OK right after this movie, but driving away from the theater, the eye/brain strain hit
[20:22:18] avivg: What causes the "Scan Channels" to be disabled (grayed out)? I'm trying to scan analogue channels but for some reason i can't
[20:23:02] wagnerrp: 3D may allow they to have annoying things pop out of the screen at you
[20:23:10] wagnerrp: but omnimax literally puts you there
[20:23:11] J-e-f-f-A: avivg: The analog scanner is disabled/incomplete in 0.22 – if that's what you're running... It's fixed in the soon-to-be-released 0.23 I hear though...
[20:23:19] sphery: the fact that analog channel scanning doesn't work on your version of Myth
[20:23:20] wagnerrp: you 'feel' the motion of the camera
[20:24:29] J-e-f-f-A: wagnerrp: I remeber going to Disneyland in the 80's and going in their 'dome' – man, it wasn't technically 3D, but you felt like you were actually on that roller-coaster... it was un-real...
[20:24:30] avivg: J-e-f-f-A: thanks! so it never worked before? If there any other linux program that is capable of analogue scanning i can try?
[20:26:14] araldit: sphery: So if i have a channel named DR1 3 times. I give them all Channel Id 1. When I watch live tv and the display gets garbled I switch source. Is that right... There is no way to define that it should default to DVB-S. For all I know it can choose to use dvb-t and every time i watch in bad weather i shold switch input. I hate manual labour. I think this should be added to the wish list.
[20:26:44] J-e-f-f-A: avivg: It had worked in prior versions, but was being re-written [I think] when 0.22 came out, and wasn't fully functional and was disabled. It's fixed in the new version due out soon.
[20:28:00] sphery: araldit: do /not/ edit channel ID's... channel numbers and channel callsigns are editable
[20:28:08] sphery: I think you mean channel number, but just making sure
[20:28:36] araldit: sphery: Yeah sry.. Channel numbers
[20:29:36] avivg: J-e-f-f-A: Thanks

[20:30:04] sphery: basically, you can configure your system for good live tv and live tv conflicting with recordings, or for good recordings and live tv not conflicting but using the bad card... you can't have both--unless you get rid of the bad card/input/source/...
[20:30:11] sphery: araldit: ^^^
[20:30:39] J-e-f-f-A: avivg: And since Analog doesn't exist in the US anymore, it didn't get much 'priority'... ;-)
[20:30:41] sphery: where getting rid of the bad one is the best solution

[20:33:54] araldit: sphery: I see. I think the solution will have to be to move the bad source to a high number, say 1000 and mirror the channels up there. Then it will only bug me when I go beyond my 100+ list of channels ;-). My DVB-s doesn't work when my internet is down, then its only the DVB-t input which works. Thats why i cant just remove the input entirely. But thanks anyway.

[20:43:26] johnnyj: is this one still apropriate: http://www.mythtv.org/pipermail/mythtv-users/ . . . /113195.html
[20:43:42] johnnyj: wagnerrp: not if you remove the package to go with svn
[20:44:04] wagnerrp: so manually pull it out of their package and use it on your own
