dfletcher:

wagnerrp, have you thought about more advanced schema support? like perhaps installation and update callbacks?

[00:01:11]

dan__t:

just as a frontend

[00:01:16]

dfletcher:

ahh very good :)

[00:01:38]

dan__t:

I have an old dell gx370 desktop I can use as a backend while I get started heh

[00:01:47]

dan__t:

I just want to demonstrate that it actually works before I go dumping money in to it.

[00:01:53]

dfletcher:

wagnerrp, how Drupal does this is amazing: http://api.drupal.org/api/function/hook_update_N/5

[00:01:54]

dan__t:

Its been rough every time I've tried.

[00:02:06]

dfletcher:

heh

[00:02:11]

dfletcher:

I jumped in money first :P

[00:02:16]

dan__t:

I don't want to make -anything- . I just want something that works.

dan__t:

Seen any neat slim cases that look like component receivers, that look like they might actually belong around my TV?

[00:05:56]

dan__t:

Slot loading DVD, nice big LCD or something would be pretty rad

[00:06:24]

wagnerrp:

dfletcher: that looks similar to how mythtv handles schemas internally

[00:06:33]

dfletcher:

heh go figure

[00:07:42]

dfletcher:

yeah I found the mini-itx case selection on newegg a bit limiting dan__t. but heh that combo deal they offered, I couldn't refuse :)

[00:07:49]

wagnerrp:

you have a function that just loops, with 'if version == N; perform these commands; set version += 1'

[00:07:55]

dfletcher:

right

[00:08:11]

dfletcher:

hey presto, magic schema update from whatever to whatever :)

[00:08:27]

wagnerrp:

but you would have to provide the if/then statements

[00:08:42]

wagnerrp:

so all told, the only thing the bindings would provide would be a couple lines of wrapper code

[00:11:17]

dan__t:

Yea I understand.

[00:11:34]

dan__t:

Remember, though, the goal is, this box would be the only thing sitting by my TV.

[00:11:42]

wagnerrp:

dan__t: silverstone and hyper make a couple

[00:11:59]

dan__t:

I even want to use the input from the cable co's STB as a different input.

[00:12:06]

dan__t:

And stream digital cable.

[00:12:20]

dan__t:

'cause that's how I roll.

Oh speaking of rolling.... any such thing as client-side caching? Like if I wanted to save some of those family videos on this box and take it to grandma's house for the weekend? Bring some of that library with me and use it all locally?

[00:13:10]

dan__t:

I see those kids with Xboxes doing this.

[00:13:14]

dfletcher:

wagnerrp, heh well you can handle the DBSchemaVer on the lib side too though. so scripts don't worry about such details, they just declare install and update routines

[00:13:21]

dmz (dmz!~dmz@64.203.207.101.dyn-cm-pool-54.hargray.net) has quit (Quit: Ex-Chat)

[00:13:22]

wagnerrp:

one of the devs has plans for detached frontends such as that

[00:13:28]

dan__t:

That's cool.

[00:13:40]

wagnerrp:

but hes got a whole list of plans he wants to get to before that

[00:13:46]

dfletcher:

what do you mean you'd need if/else statements? for what?

[00:13:46]

dan__t:

Understood.

[00:13:58]

dfletcher:

each update generally just has ALTER TABLEs

[00:14:04]

wagnerrp:

half of those are intended to get things in place to make such a system like that easy to accomplish

[00:14:29]

gregl (gregl!~greg@cpe-69-204-191-116.nycap.res.rr.com) has joined #mythtv-users

[00:14:32]

wagnerrp:

dfletcher: right, if at schema x, perform these commands

[00:14:57]

dfletcher:

yeah so it'd just be cool if the bindings did it for me. like you decide how the numbering system works and I just use it

[00:15:58]

dfletcher:

e.g. in my script I'm reading and using the schema version several times. with help from the bindings I think it could be zero

[00:16:56]

wagnerrp:

technically youre only reading the schema version once

[00:17:42]

dfletcher:

well yeah but I mean then I have some pointless crap: if it's too new error out, code is old.. if too old, update

[00:18:25]

dfletcher:

I mean... this seems really common, anyone managing db tables the right way needs to do it

oh I see hmm just one update function? I liked Drupal's idea. def update_1002(self), def update_1003(self) ...

[00:29:43]

dfletcher:

oh heh yeah I guess it doesn't need an explicit install. it could just be the first update.

[00:29:45]

wagnerrp:

dfletcher: i _could_ do it that way i suppose

[00:29:52]

dfletcher:

syntax sugar ;)

[00:29:54]

dfletcher:

either way

[00:30:03]

wagnerrp:

but you see what i mean by there is very little duplicated code?

[00:30:16]

dfletcher:

yeah

[00:30:33]

wagnerrp:

its little more than a loop wrapper

well the whole idea though is it just makes my code a bit more legible and easy to maintain. I would assume as the bindings owner you'd want that too ;)

[00:35:12]

dfletcher:

just use the class name for schema name. the one extending SchemaUpdate

yeah, i came across something like that a couple weeks ago

the individual page works fine, and luckily the 'what links here' pages works as well, so the script script works

[01:30:56]

no, last time it was stuck about 6 months old

iamlindoro, sorry for throwing stones BTW, I didn't mean to hit MythTV :P obviously you're sensitive to that problem. well *my* problem is I don't want a mouse :P

dfletcher, MNV will invariably requier a mouse for the time being. Until/Unless we can wrap remote commands to mouse clicks, that will continue-- not that we haven't discussed doing so, but I'm the only one working on MNV internals ATM and can only do so much

sure, of sufficiently low bitrate

[02:11:11]

one of the IONs?

[02:11:15]

PeaceKeeper:

yes

[02:11:16]

wagnerrp:

will play it just fine

[02:11:23]

PeaceKeeper:

nice :)

[02:11:36]

with hardware decoding anyway

[02:11:40]

you mean VDPAU?

yes, thats the only way an Atom would have any chance

I like it a lot, nice and small. Works good as a frontend.

PeaceKeeper, I have not seen the HD-PVR for less than $210 in a very, very long time.

[02:17:45]

wagnerrp:

or drill a new hole for it

[02:18:02]

levander:

wagnerrp: Now that Comcast is turning privacy mode on, I've got to have cables that will send an IR signal to a Comcast cable box. Any quick ideas for that?

[02:18:08]

wagnerrp:

or cut out a 3.5" or 5.25" cover, and put some transparent plastic in

[02:18:21]

wagnerrp:

levander: use firewire instead

[02:18:34]

wagnerrp:

they MUST provide you with a box with active firewire

[02:18:47]

wagnerrp:

and even if you cant record off it, you can at least change the channels with it

[02:18:51]

levander:

A thought that firewire stuff was a long time ago. They're still letting you use firewire?

[02:18:58]

PeaceKeeper:

jpabq: i know :(

[02:19:10]

wagnerrp:

levander: no, they MUST let you use firewire

[02:19:26]

wagnerrp:

if they refuse to provide you with a box with an active firewire port, take it up with the FCC

[02:19:29]

levander:

I wonder how much they're charging a month for a firewire cable box?

[02:19:41]

levander:

That's prolly the catch.

[02:19:42]

wagnerrp:

the same price they charge for any other HD cable box

[02:19:59]

wagnerrp:

they try to do otherwise, and they lose their charter

iamlindoro:

$190

[02:20:19]

[02:20:25]

under $200 is not uncommon

[02:20:33]

** mag0o got his hd-pvr for a nice price :) **

[02:20:40]

wagnerrp:

and you can occasionally pick them up for ~$150 of dell sb

[02:20:44]

levander:

Yeah, an HD cable box is $13/month. That's more than I wanna pay... But, thanks for letting me know about the option.

[02:21:09]

PeaceKeeper:

13.75 shipping. pffft

[02:21:10]

iamlindoro:

mag0o, $210 / # of hours worked on the theme = hourly pay of....?

[02:21:17]

$13/mo, wow...

[02:21:27]

wagnerrp, when was the last time Dell had it on sale? I thought it had been many months.

Well, you get one for free with HD channels. But, this isn't the primary TV in the house, so this would be a second HD cable box.

jpabq:

mag0o, I got one of mine for the same price you got yours for ;-)

[02:22:00]

wagnerrp:

iamlindoro: be fair, it was shipping from hauppauge, so its the full $250 retail price

[02:22:11]

jpabq, mag0o, I got one for that price too ;)

[02:22:23]

I might just have to try OTA only and see what I miss. I just wish streaming online was easier.

[02:22:30]

wagnerrp:

oh, nevermind

[02:22:37]

wagnerrp:

seems retail price is now only $200

[02:22:48]

levander:

wagnerrp: Plus, if I can't record off it, what's the point of hooking it up to my Myth box?

[02:23:05]

wagnerrp:

jpabq: there you go, anyone selling you an HDPVR for over $200 is ripping you off

[02:23:15]

wagnerrp:

levander: record off what?

[02:23:26]

levander:

wagnerrp: A Firewire cable box.

[02:23:40]

wagnerrp:

you use firewire as a channel changer, in lieu of IR

[02:23:46]

wagnerrp:

then just use analog capture like normal

[02:24:01]

jpabq:

wagnerrp, indeed.

[02:24:10]

mag0o:

:)

[02:24:35]

levander:

wagnerrp: Hmmm, not as good as ClearQAM (with the intermediary analog step), but not bad. Not bad at all...

[02:25:14]

jpabq:

iamlindoro, I think I got a better deal than mag0o. Mine only cost me 20 to 30 hours.

[02:25:14]

levander:

wagnerrp: Thanks, I'll call Comcast and see what the cheapest I can get a Firewire cable box for.

[02:25:43]

wagnerrp:

levander: the same price as any other HD cable box

[02:25:45]

iamlindoro:

jpabq, heh... I try not to think about what mine has cost me

[02:25:49]

levander:

wagnerrp: Wait, on a cable box are they gonna do analog output for HD channels?

[02:26:00]

wagnerrp:

they MUST provide a firewire-capable cable box to you upon request at no additional charge

[02:26:03]

levander:

It's not like any TV I've seen has an analog HD input.

[02:26:21]

levander:

wagnerrp: But, MUST they provide it with analog outputs?

[02:26:23]

mag0o:

i think i got paid $0.30/hr

[02:26:36]

wagnerrp:

levander: youve never seen a TV with component inputs before? or VGA?

[02:26:47]

Beirdo:

yay. blister on foot

[02:26:47]

wagnerrp:

my samsung has both

[02:26:48]

jpabq:

levander, almost all HDTV have analog HD inputs.

[02:26:59]

Beirdo:

gotta get better dang shoes

[02:26:59]

jpabq:

levander, in addition to HDMI

[02:27:38]

levander:

Yeah okay, I'll find out what firewire boxes Comcast provides, then figure out how to hook it up to my TV now that I have the general idea. Thanks guys.

[02:28:39]

levander:

wagnerrp: Required to at no additional charge? Is that no additional charge over what you're currently paying, or no additional charge for what it would cost to get their chepest cable box, or no additional charge over what it would cost to get an HD cable box?

[02:38:25]

wagnerrp:

yes, the internal player will use VDPAU if you tell it to

[02:38:53]

wagnerrp:

no, the system load is a measure of how many actively running programs you have, and has little bearing on how much actual CPU load you have

[02:39:14]

if you want to see whether VDPAU is working, you need to check the actual CPU load

Hey, guys. Been trying for days to get MythTV to compile on Windows (I'm only interested in the front end). I emailed -users and -dev, but apparently nobody approved my messages for some reason. I wrote in trac and got scolded.

[03:16:45]

jst_:

Should I just start dual-booting or what?

[03:17:22]

approved?

[03:17:37]

iamlindoro:

You need to subscribe to the lists to send messages to them, there is no moderation done

[03:17:53]

jst_:

iamlindoro, I did that. I get the digests.

[03:18:44]

iamlindoro:

You asked for help in trac-- trac is not a support forum-- that's why your ticket got locked

[03:19:06]

iamlindoro:

You said "nobody approved your messages," but there is no approval process

[03:19:08]

jst_:

Yeah, I get that. But as far as the lists, that's strange, no?

[03:19:18]

if you are subscribed, then the messages will arrive

So 0.23 is just screwed then. :(

Works nicely here

On Windows?

[03:20:34]

Windows is really not officially suppoted

[03:20:45]

jst_:

Yeah, which brings us full circle.

[03:20:50]

iamlindoro:

It has moments of compiling and functioning, and that's about as far as any of us would say it works

[03:21:04]

jst_:

Should I just dual-boot or do you think 0.23 will compile again on Windows some day?

[03:21:09]

jst_:

Ahh, okay.

[03:21:16]

iamlindoro:

If you catch it at a time when it compiles and functions properly, that's great, but any other time, non of the Myth devs care too much about it

[03:21:26]

i havent seen any windows-compile messages on -users all day

Where could I find which revision numbers compile nicely?

.23 will invariably compile on windows-- it could be tomorrow, it could be a month from now

[03:21:51]

There's no reference for which revisions compile on windows

i am getting lots of "prebuffering pause"'s on HD content. I am pretty sure my FE's are under powered. Until I replace them with something better, is there a way to transcode the recording (lossy) so that I can view it in myth.

DRM always gets defeated.

[06:21:28]

wagnerrp:

the only way it works is something like the tivo, where they have a dedicated hardware pipeline to handle decryption, decoding, and playback of the content, so the unencrypted video never touches the underlying linux OS

[06:22:08]

the end result, if this thing does become usable by mythtv, it will only be able to use those copy freely shows that you can probably pick up over firewire anyway

gigabyte make tuners? :-O

[14:37:28]

yeah apparently it used a phillips saa7134 tuner on it

[14:37:31]

mindjuju:

quick question, i've been reading http://www.mythtv.org/docs/mythtv-HOWTO-23.html towards the bottom where it discusses the diff between hauppauge pvr models. if I can get 2 pvr150 cheaper than the pvr500, it doesn't seem like i lose any additional feature, right?

[14:37:32]

justinh:

ah well. take it back & buy one supported by linux

[14:37:38]

mindjuju:

other than the fact that i'm using a second PCI slot

[14:37:44]

justinh:

mindjuju: precisely

cr4sh: I STRONGLY recommend you stay away from framegrabber type tuners – i.e. analogue tuners without hardware encoding onboard

[14:39:00]

cr4sh:

im guessing thats what this one is

[14:39:04]

justinh:

yup

[14:39:34]

cr4sh:

oh well it was only $30

[14:39:38]

cr4sh:

no big loss

[14:39:41]

justinh:

they often don't capture audio onboard either, meaning you need a soundcard per tuner card – which makes things very complicated if you want more than one tuner

[14:39:46]

justinh:

you were ripped off :)

[14:39:55]

cr4sh:

in australian dollars..

[14:39:58]

I paid about that for my digital tuner cards, and less :)

spamassassin with some tuned scores manages to keep the amount of spam I see down to maybe 3/4 a week max, I've no idea what that's down from but since I've used the same email for years it's not going to be a small number

[16:07:44]

common names suck for work email addresses too – when I was converted to full time employee they insisted on making me work email john and not johnny – I suddenly started getting spam

[16:07:59]

vast majority goes straight to /dev/null, anything below a certain threshold goes into a spam folder as a safety net, but I can count the false positives on one hand

[16:09:51]

wagnerrp:

no automated filtering

spamassassin + greylisting cut out the vast majority of my spam. Anything spam assassin sees as spam goes into a folder that I clear out once a month

[16:11:30]

GreyFoxx:

gbee: Cool. I rarely redo that

[16:12:23]

quicksilver:

I file stuff that makes it through the filters, but is in fact spam, into a mailbox which is fed into sa-learn

[16:12:26]

quicksilver:

that definitely helps.

[16:13:20]

gbee:

anything that didn't got to /dev/null but which was flagged as spam goes into the probable folder and sa-learn is run against it daily, if the worst happens and there is a false positive then it gets moved over to another folder and it's relearnt as ham

[16:13:26]

johnnyj:

not to change the topic – but im working with mythtv-setup and tuner cards

[16:13:56]

gbee:

and like quicksilver, anything that gets past the filters entirely is manually dropped into the spam folder for sa-learn to chew on

[16:14:19]

johnnyj:

and it seems that when I'm typing in the device Video device: field the system keeps sensing that i'm changing that field and attempting to probe the device

sphery: do i need to start dev'ing with trunk?

[16:20:36]

the problem is it's inserting new garbage into the combo, and every time you type something similar to something else (including garbage), it "autoselects" the match

[16:20:46]

its so odd to see someone else editing my python pages...

you could just apply the patch to 0.23-fixes

sphery: so my last issue to figure out with this dummy tuner is that i need to be treated like MPEG for tuning and like DUMMY for setup

[16:30:08]

since he knows that far better than me (and is probably done with the message :)

i just assumed his videometadata table was borked for unknown reasons

[16:33:48]

wagnerrp:

at which point a rescan should fix it (with new hash support)

[16:34:15]

wagnerrp:

if it goes deeper and hes actually screwed up his backend, someone else can field it, im going to lunch

[16:35:57]

maybe he's using some wonderful bash script to populate the videos database

i have my HDHR in my cable closet where it connects to the switch in my telco cabinet

so there's this blue thingy attached to power, cable and a cord running into the AT&T cabinet

[17:03:38]

Did you try a directional antenna, inside, pointing south-east? It *might* work halfway decent, depending on what's in-between you and the south-east side of the building...

johnnyj:

i get 98% or higher signal on my HDHR on the TWC feed

[17:27:25]

looking back, I'd get the dual tuner if I knew it was gonna be so hassle free – from reading the mailing list you'd think channel scanning was a blight on humanity

has 0.23 another API for adding movie-metadata? my own script doesnt work anymore

[19:12:44]

Nidhoegger: yes, the mythvideo database has changed between 0.22 and 0.23

[19:12:58]

Nidhoegger:

ah okay

[19:13:04]

wagnerrp:

if you are adding your own entries into the database for 0.23, and have not updated your script to match the new format, they will be broken

[19:13:20]

wagnerrp:

thats why we implement schema checks

[19:13:21]

Nidhoegger:

the script didnt write directly in the database

[19:13:30]

Nidhoegger:

it was run by mythtv and gave the results over command line

[19:13:35]

Nidhoegger:

over cout

[19:13:44]

wagnerrp:

oh, you wrote your own grabber

[19:14:15]

wagnerrp:

see http://mythtv.org/wiki/MythVideo_Grabber_Script_Format

[19:14:50]

Nidhoegger:

thanks (sorry for my english btw)

[19:15:34]

wagnerrp:

basically, 0.23 now has a standardized and well documented metadata format, when it did not in the past

[19:16:44]

Nidhoegger:

hmmm. but i think ill rewrite my script. ive done some stuff with MySQL the last few month, so i could inject the data directly

[19:16:49]

Nidhoegger:

is there a documentation about it?

[19:17:23]

wagnerrp:

better you didnt

[19:17:24]

iamlindoro:

Please please please do not bedoing your own DB access

[19:17:44]

Nidhoegger:

why not iamlindoro?

[19:17:47]

wagnerrp:

if you must access the database directly, the python bindings abstract access away from you

[19:17:55]

wagnerrp:

and do their best to make sure you dont break things

[19:17:56]

iamlindoro:

Because it's an excellent way to demolish your DB

[19:18:03]

Nidhoegger:

or exists any API that allows me to do it?

[19:18:21]

wagnerrp:

if you want to write your own grabber, just use the above format and call it from within mythvideo

[19:18:36]

wagnerrp:

there should be no need to access the database on your own

[19:18:47]

i want to automize it so it gets called over a cronjob

Then use the python bindings

[19:20:34]

arent there any C bindings?

johnnyj : why oh why didn't i think of checking updates

[19:21:11]

cervera:

worked like a charm!

[19:21:31]

johnnyj:

glad to hear it!

[19:21:43]

cervera:

one question in mind, why aren't the updates enableds by default?

[19:22:00]

cervera:

enabled

Nidhoegger: normally JAMU is recommended for use with automated metadata grabbing

[19:23:59]

johnnyj:

cervera: i'm not an expert on how Ubuntu distro's are released and packaged – sorry

[19:24:05]

wagnerrp:

but it uses its own internal versions of the grabbers, and will not use 3rd party ones

[19:24:28]

Nidhoegger:

thats the problem

[19:24:40]

wagnerrp:

if you write a suitable grabber for mythvideo, this script will allow you to use it... http://mythtv.org/wiki/Myth_video_scan.py

[19:24:47]

Nidhoegger:

and bevore i reconfigure and reprogramm parts of jamu i can write my own grabber in a language that i know

[19:25:05]

wagnerrp:

it will use whatever grabber you define for use with movies on that host

[19:25:26]

johnnyj:

i'll bite – Nidhoegger – which language do you know?

[19:25:44]

Nidhoegger:

C, pascal, PHP

[19:26:03]

Nidhoegger:

and some other ones, but they are not of use in that case

[19:26:17]

wagnerrp:

speaking of which, i still need to update that script to handle images

[19:26:36]

wagnerrp:

it was really just something i threw together to demo a couple classes and methods in the new python bindings

[19:31:59]

dfletcher:

ah nice example. /me updates his script with some goodies from here

[19:33:52]

gbee:

there is no requirement that a mythvideo grabber script/app be written in any particular language, so long as it can be executed

[19:33:59]

gbee:

C would be fine

[19:34:19]

superdump (superdump!~rob@unaffiliated/superdump) has joined #mythtv-users

[19:34:58]

gbee:

certainly less hassle than python and perl with their legion of modules which are guaranteed never to be installed when you need them

[19:35:23]

dfletcher:

so you trade module hell for dll hell :P

[19:35:26]

wagnerrp:

perl, sure

[19:35:36]

wagnerrp:

but python comes with a fairly complete package on install

[19:35:44]

dfletcher:

heh. batteries included ;)

[19:35:58]

gbee:

wagnerrp: with ubuntu perhaps

[19:36:13]

wagnerrp:

assuming the packager hasnt done something foolish and disabled all those first party packages so you can install them separately

[19:36:41]

gbee:

dfletcher: all depends, a grabber wouldn't necessarily need many external deps and probably nothing which isn't part of the STD libs and available on every system

[19:36:43]

johnnyj:

wagnerrp java has a fairly complete install

[19:37:17]

dfletcher:

gbee, ok then why on earth would Python suddenly have more requirements than that?

[19:37:34]

Nidhoegger:

are themes written for 0.21 compatible with 0.23?

[19:37:40]

wagnerrp:

no

[19:38:01]

Nidhoegger:

:(

[19:38:06]

gbee:

but it's java ... so what points it makes up in that respect isn't enough to drag the overall score into positive numbers

[19:38:11]

Nidhoegger:

i need some 4:3 themes and seek for downloads

[19:38:56]

gbee:

dfletcher: based on my experience of the python scripts in mythtv it does, modules for all sorts of things vs standard core libs

[19:38:59]

wagnerrp:

Nidhoegger: all you get is the fairly stock MythCenter, and Childish from the recent theming contest

[19:39:31]

johnnyj:

is anyone here good with the QT string package?

[19:39:32]

Nidhoegger:

:( why arent there any other 4:3 themes?

[19:40:32]

mag0o:

b/c 4:3 tv's are a dying breed

[19:40:46]

johnnyj:

if I say QString("file:%1"),arg(otherQString); – why is my result null ?

[19:40:52]

Nidhoegger:

yeah, but not the 4:3 beamer :(

[19:40:55]

wagnerrp:

gbee: a quick check through tmdb.py and i dont see any import that are not in the standard python install

[19:40:59]

mag0o:

i only did Childish for the kids (they're normally the ones that get the hand-me-down old tv) :)

[19:41:00]

Nidhoegger:

on 0.22 i got plenty of 4:3 themes

[19:41:14]

gbee:

johnnyj: . not ,

[19:41:30]

johnnyj:

gbee: sorry it is a .

[19:41:34]

johnnyj:

and it's still not working

[19:41:45]

johnnyj:

i need to install synergy

[19:42:22]

johnnyj:

does the : in front of %1 cause trouble?

[19:42:25]

gbee:

QString foo = QString("file:%1").arg(otherString);

[19:42:29]

gbee:

foo is empty?

[19:42:30]

mag0o:

Nidhoegger: the theme documentation is pretty good if you want to give themeing a shot, you could even use Childish as a base to get started

[19:42:37]

dfletcher:

gbee, uh ok well the python bindings just work for me. haven't had a prob yet :P

[19:42:43]

gbee:

johnnyj: shouldn't cause a problem

[19:42:49]

Nidhoegger:

i am pretty poor in graphics design...:( otherwise i would try

[19:43:08]

dfletcher:

because wagnerrp did such an excellent job with them :P

[19:43:20]

gbee:

wagnerrp: can't possibly comment on individual scripts since I just don't remember which additional modules I had to install

[19:43:48]

Nidhoegger:

can i somehow convert a 4:3 theme for 0.22 for use with 0.23?

[19:43:56]

mag0o:

Nidhoegger: no graphics required, i'm making a theme now that has next to zero images

[19:44:03]

mag0o:

Nidhoegger: http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/MythUI_Theme_Development

[19:44:04]

wagnerrp:

gbee: the only two external dependencies in the python bindings currently are the MySQLdb bindings, and lxml

[19:44:37]

gbee:

looking at the list of installed packages I'd guess the following were among them – python-curl, python-feedparser, python-lxml, python-mysql

[19:44:39]

dfletcher:

that seems pretty reasonable really. I mean, it's myth, we need those things ;)

[19:44:59]

Nidhoegger:

thats too much for me mag0o, i am studying and dont have the time :( otherwise i would try

[19:45:00]

wagnerrp:

curl and feedparser may be two things RDV needs for the MNV stuff

[19:45:02]

gbee:

but that might include scripts which are no longer in trunk or the stuff I was testing for RDV_Linux e.g. the iplayer script

[19:46:54]

wagnerrp:

seems ive got pycurl in for vimeo, but didnt that get dropped?

[19:48:26]

gbee:

anyway, my point isn't to argue over whether these are required or the need for them, I was merely commenting that there is nothing wrong with a grabber written in C and that it _might_ even have an advantage or two

[19:48:35]

RDV_Linux:

wagnerrp: I got rid of feedparser a while ago but curl is used in Vimeo

[19:48:40]

wagnerrp:

no, certainly not

[19:48:55]

wagnerrp:

gbee: its all what youre comfortable with programming in

[19:49:04]

gbee:

wagnerrp: exactly

[19:49:16]

wagnerrp:

RDV_Linux: i thought vimeo got dropped a couple weeks ago though

[19:49:31]

wagnerrp:

i know one of them was

[19:50:37]

RDV_Linux:

gbee: iPlayer does not use either feedparser or curl. I use the lxml library. No vimeo did not get dropped it was joost

[19:50:38]

gbee:

btw, would one of the python devs mind going through and making a list of what's needed so it can be added to the dependancies list if they are not already there?

Defense|Twin (Defense|Twin!~jepz@d137149.adsl.hansenet.de) has quit (Remote host closed the connection)

[19:51:14]

wagnerrp:

in the bindings, the only thing needed is the mysqldb package, and that should have always been needed

[19:51:24]

wagnerrp:

trunk also requires the lxml library for the wikiscripts stuff

[19:51:42]

wagnerrp:

but that can be considered independent and optional

[19:51:54]

wagnerrp:

it wont affect the operation of the rest of the bindings if that stuff isnt functioning

[19:53:36]

RDV_Linux:

gbee: Is your request about a dependency list for all python scripts? The dependencies are at least for mine are on their wiki page.

[19:54:12]

wagnerrp:

and for now, py2.5 is considered the minimum supported

huh, i guess i did add image support to that script on the wiki

[19:58:07]

wagnerrp:

go figure

[20:02:11]

gbee:

RDV_Linux: for anything that's in trunk and therefore part of the official packages, it's not always obvious to packagers and users building from source that the need those perl/python modules and it can be a frustrating experience trying to find out why something is quietly failing

[20:03:06]

RDV_Linux:

gbee: Ok I will combine a list relevant to all my contributions. Are you the one I submit it to?

[20:03:50]

gbee:

may as well be me

[20:04:35]

RDV_Linux:

gbee: Ok in a week or so,

[20:04:47]

gbee:

no hurry

[20:04:55]

RDV_Linux:

thanks

[20:06:02]

gbee:

I'll take the opportunity to review the dependancies of the compiled apps since the list is probably out of date

stevieman: if a DVD drive isn't important, just be warned that the shine is rubbing off the ION based machines as people realise just how underpowered they really are and that you are at the mercy of the nvidia drivers

[20:16:51]

stevieman:

yah, now that you mention it DVD might be good to have.

[20:17:51]

stevieman:

ok how about this, what would you recommed CPU/memory wise for a machine to do SD video, some mame, play dvd and of course watch TV?

[20:18:07]

before the hype over ION kit, there were similar levels of hype over low power Via based machines, but a few months later there were lots of people with buyers remorse

hey in this declaration – void MPEGConfigurationGroup::probeCard(const QString &device) – what does the const and &device accomplish?

[21:40:52]

i'm having some scope issues

[21:42:45]

const means you can perform some additional optimizations as the value is to be read-only

using ubuntu 10.04 removed pulseaudio. sound is conected via spdif to av reciver in general->sound settings i have audio output to ALSA:SPDIF, speaker config 5.1 . I get no sound if I play ac3 video. If i play a non hd video i get sound. Any sugestions?

[21:43:04]

johnnyj:

but so why the &

[21:43:05]

wagnerrp:

& means youre giving it the address of that value, rather than pushing the value itself onto the stack

[21:43:50]

johnnyj:

so does this mean that device is getting passed in and can be updated within this function??

[21:44:06]

wagnerrp:

its a const, it cannot be modified

[21:47:02]

johnnyj:

oh – so this is actually a compiler trick

[21:47:14]

johnnyj:

according to http://duramecho.com/ComputerInformation/WhyHowCppConst.html

[21:47:24]

wagnerrp:

no, just the C/C++ programming language

johnnyj: &, or passing by references means that you pass the address instead of creating a copy – this is more efficient, creating a second copy means more memory and several additional steps

[21:53:41]

johnnyj:

gbee: i get that – it's the const in front of it that is confusing

[21:54:08]

johnnyj:

plus it's a VideoDevice object in the calling class and a QString here

[21:54:56]

gbee:

the const says that it can't be modified, since we're passing by reference we want to guarentee that the original remains unchanged and at the same time the compiler can do some optimisations knowing that it won't be modified

[21:55:44]

i removed the const and it complains on compile that there is no matching method

right – and I suppose the & too

gbee + bjd, I was hoping for packages but I haven't found any, I thought that might be an indication there would be issues but I'm building now and so far it seems all the dependencies are met from the backports repo

[22:09:33]

th1_:

the reason is my server infrastructure all run on debian but I've upgraded my desktops to ububtu 10.04 and they have Myth 0.23RC

[22:09:55]

I wish the Myth backend was more lightweight and separate from the frontend

huh?

maybe if you can glance at the code – http://pastebin.com/bjND9ZH3 – I'm just not following why this wont compile

th1_:

gbee, if you compare it to a webserver and a browser

[22:12:35]

th1_:

it doesn't seem like it's going to be a huge problem though because all the dependencies are already on debian from 0.22

[22:12:49]

th1_:

just have to compile from source :)

[22:13:05]

gbee:

th1_: I haven't got a clue what you are talking about, there is no UI code in the backend

[22:13:21]

gbee:

none

[22:13:37]

gbee, I'm talking building a standalone backend without QT etc.

[22:13:43]

you can't

gbee:

FFS

[22:14:09]

it's primarily an STL toolkit

mythtv-setup runs on the backend though and it requires lots of gui elements

[22:14:32]

stuarta:

yes

[22:14:39]

stuarta:

mythtv-setup != mythbackend

[22:14:40]

th1_:

and qt requires a full X libs setup to build and run even if its not *just* a UI library

[22:14:48]

gbee:

and even the bits of it that are UI related, they are hardly used by myth, frontend OR backend

[22:14:59]

th1_:

but can you run mythtv-setup on a frontend and use it to configure a backend on another machine?

[22:15:16]

stuarta:

with X forwarding over ssh, yes

[22:15:34]

th1_:

but in that case the gui binary is still running on the server and needing the X libs etc.

[22:15:39]

stuarta:

yup

if you want something different, wait for mythtv 0.26

** wagnerrp is increasingly baffled how people who have managed to set up their own ipv6 tunnel cant figure out such simple things on their own **

[23:41:28]

wagnerrp:

you type 'mythbuntu 10.04' into google, decide your feeling lucky, and its right there on the second line, and again on the third, and then twice more about a dozen lines down

[23:42:23]

janneg:

wagnerrp: maybe google was down

[23:42:47]

wagnerrp:

i guess their ipv6 tunnel wasnt working properly

the patch didn't touch any of the files just added the debian/ directory so I'm guessing it'll be fine for git upgrades
