[00:00:51] Mandingo-Dev: is it safe to pull the libmythtv-perl.install since that deb isnt used anyway
[00:03:33] Mandingo-Dev: never mind found my mistake confused libmythtv-perl and libmyth-perl
[00:05:50] Mandingo-Dev: but even so if i dont use addons i should be ok removing those correct or no ?
[00:08:07] sphery: th1_: best bet is to restore the DB backup from before the first upgrade attempt you made ... looks like you had a partial upgrade that got interrupted

[01:29:39] wagnerrp: Beirdo: the cheese steak
[01:29:42] wsuetholz: I noticed something today, and was wondering if it could be relevant....

[01:29:49] Beirdo: right
[01:29:49] adante_ is now known as adante
[01:29:52] ezzieyguywuf: ok guys. I'm on step one: partitioning my hdd. Is there a optimal partitioning setup for myth?
[01:30:04] Beirdo: not yet, I'm saving that for Saturday or tomorrow
[01:30:08] wagnerrp: 'sammich' was a term coined by a Cheers character, him between two women
[01:30:27] wagnerrp: ezzieyguywuf: do you have multiple disks?
[01:30:29] wsuetholz: BIOS reports 256M video ram, and the NV-Settings reports 512M video ram.. Could that result in LiveTV always locking up?
[01:30:33] Beirdo: heh, yeah, been a while since I watched Cheers :)
[01:31:07] wagnerrp: wsuetholz: mythtv is generally not happy with only 256MB of video memory for use with VDPAU
[01:31:25] ezzieyguywuf: wagnerrp: at tho moment, I have ONE 80 gb disk.
[01:31:31] wagnerrp: is it possible you have additional system memory being allocated to the graphics chip that the BIOS is not seeing?
[01:31:41] ezzieyguywuf: wagnerrp: after I get myth up and running, I plan on either upgrading or just adding another, huger disk.
[01:31:55] wsuetholz: well, their bios doesn't let you set it. It's based on installed ram.. And, all I had available was a 2GB memory stick
[01:32:19] wagnerrp: ezzieyguywuf: probably best to give 10–20GB for system and database, leave the rest for mythtv
[01:32:34] wagnerrp: two partitions, maybe a third if you want to give boot its own
[01:32:48] wagnerrp: wsuetholz: usually with 2GB, the video card gets 512MB
[01:33:35] ezzieyguywuf: wagnerrp: I'll be installing gentoo, I don't think it needs 20 gb
[01:34:08] ezzieyguywuf: wagnerrp: should I make a separate partition for storing video files, and should I use a particular file system, i.e. not ext?
[01:34:15] wsuetholz: well, Foxconn has resisted allowing that to be and adjustable setting in their BIOS
[01:34:58] wagnerrp: my gentoo root image currently takes some 2.1GB
[01:35:01] wsuetholz: I just purchased a 4Gig stick, we'll see if that helps. My existing Zotac ION box is running fine on 2Gig of memory.
[01:35:39] wagnerrp: thats not including 700MB for a compiled kernel tree, 200MB for a portage tree, or several GB used in temporary space during compiles
[01:35:39] wsuetholz: Is there a way to tell the NVidia card that it only has 256M of memory in xorg.conf?
[01:35:55] wagnerrp: thats for a mythtv-only install
[01:36:17] ezzieyguywuf: wagnerrp: okdie doke. what about the a separate partition for video files?
[01:36:30] Beirdo: devinheitmueller: you around?
[01:36:47] wagnerrp: ezzieyguywuf: single, separate partition for video, just give it whatever you have free
[01:36:57] wagnerrp: i wouldnt go less than 6GB for the system partition
[01:37:11] wagnerrp: this is only a trial install after all
[01:37:17] wagnerrp: better to be safe, than run out of space later
[01:37:28] th1_: yay ftw
[01:37:35] ezzieyguywuf: wagnerrp: I'm gonna give / 10 gb, I usually put /usr on its own partition with what's left, but maybe not for myth?
[01:37:36] th1_: got all my machines upgraded to rc3 now

[01:41:35] wagnerrp: ive always heard the opinion that mythbox/xbmc is bad, and shouldnt be used with mythtv, but what specifically is the reason?
[01:41:51] Beirdo: because it sucks?
[01:41:53] Beirdo: dunno
[01:42:11] ezzieyguywuf: what is mythbox?
[01:42:14] wagnerrp: it seems to actually follow the protocol checking, and provide its own fixups to maintain internal compatibility
[01:42:17] ezzieyguywuf: does myth supportt ext4?
[01:42:29] wagnerrp: no, mythtv does not support ext4
[01:42:35] ezzieyguywuf: good to know
[01:42:35] wagnerrp: it just uses whatever file system you give it
[01:43:03] wagnerrp: in the same manner, it does not support jfs, xfs, nfs, ntfs, or just about any other file system you can think of
[01:43:29] wagnerrp: it does however have a 'slow delete' fix for ext3, as that file system is horrible at deleting large files
[01:44:09] wagnerrp: can mythtv be used with ext4? certainly
[01:44:51] ezzieyguywuf: is it recommended?
[01:44:57] Beirdo: and probably with ext5 when the time comes too
[01:45:10] wagnerrp: Beirdo: only 'bad' thing i can tell that it does is forgo any form of database schema check
[01:45:21] wagnerrp: so it can trash your database
[01:45:29] wagnerrp: but it shouldnt have problems connecting to your frontend
[01:45:33] Wicked: xbmc has native built in support for mythtv
[01:45:53] wagnerrp: Wicked: no, xbmc has native built in support for the myth:// streaming protocol
[01:46:14] Wicked: ah yea. thats more specific
[01:46:22] wagnerrp: you still have to provide it menus and links to content through a third party plugin
[01:46:31] wagnerrp: and that native support IS doing bad things
[01:46:38] Wicked: and the xbmc team is currently doing *alot* of work for the unified frontend project
[01:46:39] wagnerrp: it outright ignores the protocol check
[01:47:04] ezzieyguywuf: wagnerrp: so what filesystem type do you recommend?
[01:47:07] Wicked: yea. buts its fine if your just using it to watch eps.
[01:47:14] Wicked: it wont write to the database
[01:47:26] Wicked: ezzieyguywuf, id go with ext3/4
[01:47:34] Wicked: your choice really
[01:47:42] Wicked: both have been good to me :)
[01:47:51] ezzieyguywuf: well, I was planning on using ext4. I don't want any of this "database thrashing"

[01:48:05] ** sphery can't wait until the planned database change that will completely break all semblance of compatibility with old historic versions goes in **
[01:48:34] Wicked: lol
[01:48:42] sphery: ezzieyguywuf: as long as your database data and recordings are on different filesystems, you shouldn't have any problems
[01:49:06] sphery: different spindles (hard drives) is ideal, but not mandatory
[01:49:13] Wicked: yea...even better have your os/db on a whole diff drive

[01:50:01] sphery: oh, and by, "you shouldn't have any problems," I don't mean to endorse ext4 or any other filesystem--I'm simply saying that MythTV won't care, and the only problems will be the typical problems you'd have with the chosen file system (regardless of app)
[01:50:07] gatekeeper (gatekeeper!~gatekeepe@cpe-76-180-18-183.buffalo.res.rr.com) has joined #mythtv-users
[01:50:28] ezzieyguywuf: hm. ok.
[01:50:41] ezzieyguywuf: so I should put this database thing on a separate partition, or optimally a separate drive
[01:50:56] sphery: yeah
[01:50:56] gatekeeper: hello all. is there a way to query the backend service without using telnet ?
[01:51:05] gatekeeper is now known as Geminizer
[01:52:21] wagnerrp: i would suggest not using ext3
[01:52:21] ezzieyguywuf: Geminizer: ssh?
[01:52:25] sphery: because hard drives are way too large for only a root file system, anymore, I have a recording partition on the same drive that has the database data, but I also have 2 or 3 (depending on backend) other hard drives that all get used for new recordings before the one with the DB partition
[01:52:32] wagnerrp: because of the aforementioned slow delete issue
[01:52:51] ** sphery still uses ext3 **
[01:53:12] sphery: and, besides, ext3 with 256-byte inodes in current kernels is actually quite fast at deletes
[01:53:29] sphery: though I still use slow deletes
[01:53:40] sphery: oh, and I'm not endorsing ext3, either :)
[01:53:51] wagnerrp: isnt that fairly small? isnt 4K or larger default?
[01:54:02] Wicked: my mythtv hard drive is ext3
[01:54:07] J-e-f-f-A: Geminizer: how about http://localhost:6543 ? (or the IP of your backend)
[01:54:34] sphery: wagnerrp: you're thinking of block size, not inode size
[01:54:56] wagnerrp: sphery: anyway, im only asking because ive recently been saying mythbox ignores schema AND protocol
[01:54:59] sphery: the new 256-byte inodes are 2x the size of the previous default (and, IIRC, the only allowed value)
[01:55:13] sphery: oh, don't know what mythbox is
[01:55:18] wagnerrp: but thats not the case, it only seems to ignore schema, although thats sufficient reason on its own
[01:55:24] wagnerrp: mythbox is xbmc's myth frontend
[01:55:49] Wicked: mythbox is a xbox addon
[01:55:55] wagnerrp: although looking through their code is actually somewhat interesting
[01:55:56] Geminizer: J-e-f-f-A: That's exactly what I was thinking :) But how to invoke the same commands going that route (e.g. query location, play program ...)?
[01:56:05] wagnerrp: its pure python, even the mysql libraries
[01:56:11] Wicked: there is native code in xbmc that supports the myth:// protocol
[01:56:20] sphery: Geminizer: why not telnet?
[01:56:20] Wicked: and uses cmyth lib
[01:56:22] J-e-f-f-A: Geminizer: Then nope, telnet it is.
[01:56:28] sphery: Geminizer: if not, use Python bindings
[01:56:34] J-e-f-f-A: ^^ or that.
[01:56:36] sphery: but telnet is a lot easier
[01:56:37] wagnerrp: Wicked: cmyth does not support the myth:// protocol
[01:56:39] J-e-f-f-A: ;-)
[01:56:42] wagnerrp: it can merely try to use it
[01:56:43] sphery: though python bindings won't tell you frontend stuff
[01:56:51] sphery: *TTBOMK
[01:56:59] Geminizer: the only downside I have been experiencing is that I can't establish concurrent telnet sessions
[01:57:23] wagnerrp: one of the base requirements of the myth protocol is to perform a version check, and only connect if you can speak the same
[01:57:35] wagnerrp: cmyth outright ignores the check, and connects anyway
[01:57:40] J-e-f-f-A: Geminizer: And why would you need to?
[01:57:53] wagnerrp: Geminizer: that has been fixed, i believe prior to 0.22, but certainly in 0.23
[01:58:02] Wicked: ah.
[01:58:14] Geminizer: nice... definitely good to know
[01:58:38] Wicked: ah
[01:59:01] sphery: and 0.23-fixes is well worth the upgrade
[02:00:38] Geminizer: sphery: is there a way to perform an upgrade from an existing older version of myth?
[02:00:53] sphery: are you using a distro and its packages?
[02:01:07] Geminizer: yes, knoppmyth
[02:01:11] wagnerrp: Geminizer: mythtv-setup will automatically update your schema from any recent version of mythtv
[02:01:20] wagnerrp: recent meaning anything within the last 5–6 years
[02:01:29] sphery: don't know knoppmyth's status...
[02:01:41] sphery: (do you really mean LinHES or is it really that old?)
[02:03:49] sphery: http://mysettopbox.tv/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=20876 seems to indicate they have a testing repo
[02:04:01] sphery: I /hope/ it's using 0.23-fixes and not trunk, but I can't guarantee it
[02:04:17] sphery: you should check with people who know LinHES

[02:53:56] wagnerrp: devinheitmueller: he was asking something about the Avermedia HD DVR card
[02:54:08] wagnerrp: guess he figured you were the most likely to know anything about support
[02:54:43] devinheitmueller: Yeah, I know about that card.
[02:54:53] devinheitmueller: I looked into it. It's got a TM6200.
[02:56:19] devinheitmueller: It's got a rather old PCIe bridge which is not used in any other card. Totally unsupported in Linux.
[02:56:29] Beirdo: devinheitmueller: yeah, just wondering if it's on the list of "will never work"
[02:57:00] devinheitmueller: (and given how old the chip is and the low likelihood that it will be used in anything else makes it not worth the effort)
[02:57:44] Beirdo: gotcha
[02:57:57] Beirdo: a shame though, that seems to be a potentially sweet card
[02:58:09] devinheitmueller: It's a shame they didn't use a more common/recent chip, otherwise it might be worth the effort.
[02:58:20] Beirdo: yeah
[02:58:30] devinheitmueller: It just doesn't make sense to spend several months adding support for a rare PCIe bridge that is only used in one card.
[02:58:38] Beirdo: such is life.
[02:58:41] devinheitmueller: yup

[02:59:35] Beirdo: I'll just forget it exists. Hehe
[03:00:25] wagnerrp: at $85, im going to go out on a limb and say its a framegrabber
[03:00:35] Beirdo: it does HDTV
[03:00:53] devinheitmueller: Yeah, it's just a framegrabber. It doesn't have an onboard encoder.
[03:01:16] Beirdo: so the driver for 'blows does the compression?
[03:01:18] Beirdo: buggers
[03:01:23] Beirdo: never mind then :)
[03:01:25] Beirdo: heh
[03:01:59] Beirdo: does do component in though
[03:02:05] devinheitmueller: correct.

[03:21:04] Beirdo: sure looks like it
[03:21:20] Beirdo: I would have to say yes
[03:21:23] wagnerrp: ok, because thats the exact syntax python uses
[03:21:28] dfletcher: maybe they were buying extra batteries for it. legend of zelda actually had batteries in it :P
[03:21:39] wagnerrp: i could 'eval' that, and get a dictionary back

[03:22:09] Beirdo: wagnerrp: yeah, python and json are friendly, I guess

[03:22:25] wagnerrp: erm... python code
[03:22:36] Beirdo: that wouldn't surprise me much

[03:29:20] Beirdo: any faves for multi-core processors with low power consumption?
[03:30:08] wagnerrp: apparently the 32nm i5 stuff does pretty well
[03:30:34] wagnerrp: personally, im looking at some of the low power quad/hex core AMD stuff for my next home server
[03:30:51] Beirdo: been a WHILE since I bought anything Intel (other than Atom laptop)
[03:30:55] jst_: Do you guys think it's a good idea to install Mythbuntu daily builds?
[03:31:12] wagnerrp: jst_: are they of trunk or 0.23-fixes?
[03:31:15] Beirdo: Hmm, hexacore could be cool.
[03:31:19] jst_: wagnerrp, latter.
[03:31:27] wagnerrp: then there should be no problem
[03:31:31] Beirdo: I installed a dual 8-core Xeon at work the other day.
[03:31:35] wagnerrp: 8?
[03:31:38] Beirdo: that was impressive
[03:31:44] Beirdo: yup.
[03:31:49] wagnerrp: i thought they only went up to 6
[03:32:02] wagnerrp: is that a true 8-core? or a dual package like the AMD 8 and 12 core stuff?
[03:32:04] Beirdo: well, 16 cores, but it said 2 physical devices
[03:32:12] jst_: wagnerrp, are they released only when a new revision is created? I've had them enabled in the past and only got updates maybe once every few days. I had to update twice today. I know, I know, daily builds.
[03:32:24] Beirdo: not precisely sure, but dang... 81k bogomips :)
[03:32:24] Beirdo: heh
[03:32:43] wagnerrp: jst_: 0.23-fixes is supposed to always be stable, thats the purpose of a stable branch
[03:32:52] wagnerrp: there should be no problem doing daily updates
[03:32:53] Beirdo: couldn't help but drool a bit
[03:33:00] wagnerrp: but there should be little purpose doing so either
[03:33:09] wagnerrp: as its not going to be updated very often
[03:33:14] wagnerrp: just the occasional bug fix
[03:33:24] jst_: Okay, thanks.
[03:33:31] jst_: As always.
[03:33:39] jst_: You basically live here, don't you? :)
[03:33:45] wagnerrp: nah

[03:36:15] wagnerrp: Beirdo: the 2.8GHz version is only $210

[03:40:13] wagnerrp: over $3K
[03:40:22] wagnerrp: each
[03:40:32] Beirdo: heh
[03:40:34] Beirdo: likely so
[03:40:57] Beirdo: but it was cool seeing the kernel spew about it :)

[03:43:46] wagnerrp: yeah, the 6-core Cores are 130W, not much difference
[03:44:05] wagnerrp: theres apparently at least one 45W 4-core AMD, but its pretty rare to find retail
[03:44:29] jst_: Is that 45W for the whole CPU or 45W per core?

[03:47:36] Beirdo: not surprising
[03:48:10] Beirdo: the one I found is a 905e
[03:49:08] wagnerrp: slightly faster, lot more cache
[03:49:27] wagnerrp: lot more /enabled/ cache
[03:49:33] Beirdo: yeah
[03:49:34] wagnerrp: theyre probably physically the same exact chip
[03:49:34] Beirdo: heh
[03:49:40] Beirdo: most likely
[03:49:55] Beirdo: just different bin after testing

[04:43:28] bobboau: or can I?
[04:43:30] wagnerrp: VNC, x-forwarding, ...
[04:44:11] wagnerrp: the long term plan is to move to a web-based setup, built into the backend
[04:44:17] wagnerrp: maybe by 0.25
[04:44:22] [R] ([R]!~rbox@unaffiliated/rbox) has quit (Quit: Leaving)
[04:44:34] bobboau: even if no desktop environment is installed on the backend (is makeing the assumption that the mythbuntu backend only install does not install gnome)
[04:44:59] wagnerrp: you MUST at least have the base X libraries to install the backend
[04:45:02] bobboau: web interface would be quite cool
[04:45:02] wagnerrp: it wont run without them
[04:45:22] wagnerrp: which means you can just 'ssh -Y' into the machine remotely
[04:45:27] wagnerrp: and run mythtv-setup
[04:46:12] wagnerrp: ssh will handle all the necessary forwarding for you
[04:46:40] wagnerrp: of course ssh is wholly unnecessary for internal network
[04:47:23] wagnerrp: if you know what youre doing, you could set up your local X server for network access, handle the key exchange manually, and set the DISPLAY
[04:51:37] bobboau: sweet, that got me into the config program, now my first 'real' problem, when ever I try to scan for channels it fails (very quickly)
[04:52:03] wagnerrp: what version of mythtv?
[04:52:07] dougt: wagnerrp: woot... i think I can have that HDPVR record at its max bit rate, and just have a transcoding for 1080i.
[04:52:18] bobboau: what ever is bundled with mythbuntu 10.04
[04:52:34] wagnerrp: bobboau: then you have likely set up your card wrong
[04:53:08] bobboau: this is quite possible
[04:54:30] bobboau: I have a HVR 1600, I have it set up currently as an IVTV on video0, default input is set to tuner1
[04:55:08] bobboau: I origonaly tried V4L device
[04:55:11] wagnerrp: you shouldnt be scanning a on video0
[04:55:18] wagnerrp: but youre right using IVTV

[04:55:37] wagnerrp: for analog pull your lineup from schedules direct
[04:58:51] bobboau: I'm signed up, on the trial atm, when I tell it to fetch it has a very fast progress bar and then nothing I'm assumeing it worked because it didn't say it failed

[05:15:45] bobboau: well, I can deal with that later, so to recap, I just installed mythbuntu on an old computer with a new HVR1600 in it, I have the card setup as an IVTV type on video0 useing tuner 1. source is useing schedules direct 'retrieve lineups' seems to succeed. freq table is set to us-cable, when I get to input connections is when starts to fail hard, I select video0/tuner1, tell it to do a full scan and it finds nothing, if I tell
[05:15:45] bobboau: it to fetch from listing source it does nothing
[05:16:21] wagnerrp: you dont do a channel scan at all
[05:16:46] wagnerrp: retrieve lineups in the source setup pulls a list of your lineups registered to your account
[05:16:55] wagnerrp: after which you select one to go with the source
[05:18:03] wagnerrp: only after you select a lineup will 'fetch channels from listings source' work
[05:18:39] bobboau: wait, I have done nothing at schedules direct other than register... I need to tell it what I want don't I?
[05:19:01] wagnerrp: login to your account at SD, and specify a lineup
[05:19:17] wagnerrp: then select that lineup in your source setup

[05:27:15] bobboau: is there anything other than the mythtv-frontend package (and it's dependencies) I need on the client machines?
[05:27:26] wagnerrp: no
[05:27:51] wagnerrp: you may want the additional plugins and themes, if those arent already pulled in by mythbuntu
[05:29:45] bobboau: I'll probably use a different frontend, like xbmc (I believe it supports mythtv, and works on windows), once I get the official frontend working, I honestly cant stand the myth interface
[05:30:05] dfletcher: blasphemy! ;)
[05:30:05] wagnerrp: when is the last time youve used it?
[05:30:31] wagnerrp: mythtv looks vastly different than it did 6 months ago
[05:30:39] wagnerrp: well... more like 8
[05:30:56] dfletcher: heh also if you don't like it, theme it don't complain ;)
[05:31:04] bobboau: about a month ago, when I tried (and failed) setting it up on the HTPC
[05:31:36] wagnerrp: did you not like the interface? or did you not like the base theme?
[05:31:43] wagnerrp: http://mythtv.org/wiki/Themes
[05:32:10] wagnerrp: either way, we cannot recommend you use xmbc/mythbox in here, nor will we support you if you break mythtv by doing so
[05:32:26] wagnerrp: mythbox does not perform any database schema checks
[05:32:46] wagnerrp: so there is no guarantee it will not horribly hose something
[05:33:50] bobboau: understood, if I break it after you help me getting the offical client working that's not your fault, and you can't well recomend an unoffical client in the offical help channel.
[05:35:02] wagnerrp: its more than that, we wont help you if you use an unofficial client that does not perform protocol/schema checks to ensure its running commands against the proper version
[05:35:02] bobboau: man mythfilldatabase takes a damn long time, I guess that's how I know it's working
[05:35:10] wagnerrp: mythbox at least does protocol checks
[05:36:47] bobboau: well, I'll certainly try out a few more themes, but unless they make vast changes to the interface I don't think it's going to help. incedently do you get a lot of complaints from people breaking things useing 3rd party clients?
[05:37:11] wagnerrp: occasionally, and we direct them elsewhere

[05:41:59] wagnerrp: supporting 0.24 a couple months down the line will require some significant reworking of things
[05:43:10] bobboau: well, then I guess that's a good reason to at least hold off, though I will need a client that can run well on windows, and won't strike fear into the hearts of my less technically inclined, WMC accustomed family members

[05:46:46] bobboau: it does strike me as somewhat odd that mythtv doesn't seem (from the apparent fragility of the backend) to have a robust API for alternative clients
[05:47:12] wagnerrp: it was never designed to
[05:48:07] wagnerrp: having a static API means you cant improve on things as new needs arise
[05:48:38] wagnerrp: the -fixes branches will not change from a single API, and alternate clients can target those for use
[05:50:01] bobboau: no, it just means you increment the API major version number and drop support for older versions :)
[05:50:54] wagnerrp: what do you think the protocol version is?

[06:06:25] dougt: bobboau: i wrote a patch to get OGG support in mythweb but it was denied.
[06:06:55] dougt: basically i think people are waiting until the backend manages multiple files.
[06:07:24] dougt: as it is right now, mythweb calls out to ffmpeg (or whatever) to do on-the-fly transcoding for flv.
[06:07:29] esperegu (esperegu!~quassel@145.116.15.244) has joined #mythtv-users
[06:07:37] dougt: that is one reason why you can't jump around in the flash player
[06:08:35] dougt: bobboau: the best approach would be just make a html5 webapp that uses the new python bindings on the backend.
[06:08:48] dougt: not sure if the binding has everything, but it might.
[06:09:22] dfletcher: interesting
[06:10:09] bobboau: ^agree
[06:10:22] dfletcher: I thought about theming mythweb to make it more like what I want but that sounds just really cool
[06:10:47] dougt: dfletcher: that is one way to do it... but mythweb does _ALOT_
[06:11:03] dfletcher: yeah I use the settings tools all the time
[06:11:26] dougt: really?
[06:11:29] dougt: for what?
[06:11:32] dfletcher: it's a new setup
[06:11:40] dfletcher: channel disabling etc
[06:11:48] bobboau: ok, well, my client is out of date, I guess the easiest way to fix that would be to just add the offical mythtv repo to my sources?
[06:12:00] dfletcher: but I see how all those features are needed
[06:12:14] dfletcher: oh also I was setting up events. easiser to see them in there
[06:12:21] dougt: ah.
[06:12:23] dougt: right.
[06:12:31] oobe is now known as oobe-nick-collis
[06:12:36] wagnerrp: the python bindings would give you access to the files
[06:12:37] oobe-nick-collis is now known as oobe
[06:12:50] dougt: oh.. are there ever mythtv meetups?
[06:13:06] wagnerrp: but writing a web server AND setting up on-the-fly transcoding with streaming is far from trivial
[06:13:35] dfletcher: writing a web server? can't it work with apache?
[06:13:43] dougt: well, it isn't as hard as the rest of the stuff myth does.
[06:14:28] dougt: (or at least I understand "setting up a webserver and doing on the fly transcoding" better than the rest of myth)
[06:15:39] wagnerrp: the current (distant, far off, possibly never to be implemented) plan is to expand the internal transcoding to support more than mpeg4 and nuppelvideo, expand the streaming protocol to do such real time transcoding, and set up an internal html5 webpage using the internal web server
[06:15:49] wagnerrp: at which point mythweb would basically just proxy access to it
[06:16:39] bobboau: wait myth has it's own webserver implementation? without looking into it at all I had just assumed that the mythweb interface was implemented with PHP (or something) useing a plugin
[06:17:08] dfletcher: yeah it is
[06:17:11] wagnerrp: upnp requires a web server
[06:17:14] dfletcher: it's in apache
[06:17:20] wagnerrp: no, its in C++
[06:17:24] wagnerrp: in the backend
[06:17:25] dfletcher: mythweb?
[06:17:36] wagnerrp: http://<backend ip>:6544
[06:17:40] dfletcher: oh
[06:17:49] dfletcher: oh right I've seen status from there
[06:17:51] wagnerrp: the base page gives you a status page (which is mirrored by mythweb)
[06:18:09] wagnerrp: the '/xml' page is the same thing in XML
[06:18:14] dougt: wagnerrp: i would suggest keeping that "internal html5 webpage" using the bindings so that others can hack on it independently and build stuff that is better than the internal one
[06:18:25] dougt: s/using/uses
[06:18:53] wagnerrp: and '/Myth/<other crap>' is a bunch of other pages and calls for various other features
[06:19:15] wagnerrp: much of mythtv's content is already available through that internal server
[06:19:38] wagnerrp: and if you check the mythweb music streaming code, youll find its actually capable of streaming your music from the backend, rather than requiring direct file access
[06:20:39] wagnerrp: video and recording access could easily be set up similarly
[06:21:01] wagnerrp: the flash streaming would be a bit more difficult, as you would have to set up a file pipe into ffmpeg through the perl script
[06:22:02] wagnerrp: basically, theres a whole laundry list of features which would be great for mythtv to have
[06:22:05] dougt: wagnerrp: hopefully the script could pass offsets to that process so that you can do seeking.
[06:22:23] dougt: wagnerrp: indeed... it is already pretty cool and it can get cooler.
[06:22:28] wagnerrp: and in order to do it properly, they all have to be built on top of one another sequentially
[06:22:45] wagnerrp: were still down here at the bottom
[06:22:55] dougt: wagnerrp: well... that new binding can allow alot of this to start happening now.
[06:23:05] dougt: "alot" == "some"
[06:23:34] wagnerrp: the bindings can allow users to hack together some of this functionality on their own
[06:23:57] wagnerrp: but 'properly' implies integrating this stuff into the backend

[06:24:34] bobboau: I just thought of something. the major problem with the HTML5 thing is it requires transcodeing, right? why can't the internal encodeing scheme be used? isn't most everything stored as basically an mpeg dump? can't that be streamed?
[06:24:57] wagnerrp: html5 doesnt support any particular codec
[06:25:15] wagnerrp: and the browsers themselves are divided between theora and h264
[06:25:32] wagnerrp: nothing mythtv uses would produce theora
[06:25:41] wagnerrp: and only HDPVR output and some DVB recordings would be h264
[06:25:41] bobboau: exactly, as long as the end user has the codec available it can be streamed (iirc)
[06:25:52] wagnerrp: no, the browser has to support it
[06:26:05] wagnerrp: and no one is using external APIs to do so
[06:26:10] wagnerrp: it has to be theora or h264
[06:26:41] bobboau: well what does myth typicaly store it's video as?
[06:27:03] dougt: bobboau: there is probably always going to be transcoding.
[06:27:11] wagnerrp: framegrabbers will be mjpeg or mpeg4 in a nuv, everything else will be whatever the card outputs
[06:27:36] wagnerrp: IVTV, ATSC, firewire, and some of DVB will be mpeg2 in an mpeg2ts
[06:27:49] wagnerrp: HDPVR and some of DVB will be h264 in an mpeg2ts

[07:20:11] dfletcher: heh smart, mirror the features of the core scheama system
[07:22:20] wagnerrp: its actually the core class turned inside out

[07:40:30] dfletcher: wagnerrp, is raising StopIteration a bit awkward? hmm sometimes python throws more exceptions than I'm comfortable with maybe that's just normal?
[07:41:02] wagnerrp: 'StopIteration' is the standard exception raised when exiting an iterator
[07:41:11] dfletcher: ok
[07:41:31] pho01: jb, they are zipped
[07:41:34] wagnerrp: i could rework it slightly, have you 'yield' the responses, and it would get thrown automatically

[07:48:51] dfletcher: well wagnerrp yield would sheld implementor from details and if nothing else it's terse ;)
[07:49:07] justinh: toeb: the thing about HD & digital tuners is this: HD has nothing to do with the tuner as such. If the tuner can resolve streams (i.e. DVB-T if it's a DVB-T tuner, DVB-C is it's a DVB-C tuner etc) then it'll do HD too
[07:49:23] justinh: so a dvb-c tuner doesn't HAVE to be 'HD'
[07:49:40] justinh: if it can work with your cable provider, you'll get it all, SD & HD
[07:50:45] justinh: likewise, people are selling 'HD@ DVB-T tuners. But they're no use to us in the UK because our HD is DVB-T2 – and there are no tuners available for computers for that system yet – only DVB-T2 ;-)
[07:51:41] justinh: but for your cable provider, just about any old dvb-c tuner will work – unless the cable company do something really funky with the streams
[07:52:25] wagnerrp: justinh: not quite true
[07:52:46] justinh: it all depends on the modulation the cable company uses
[07:52:58] wagnerrp: according to devinheitmuller, some older devices simply didnt have the bandwidth to handle HD content
[07:53:07] wagnerrp: they effectively were not fully DVB compliant
[07:53:18] justinh: ahh well.. that's a different kettle of fish
[07:53:40] justinh: the same applies for a lot of older DVB tuners too
[07:53:45] wagnerrp: he corrected me on that one time
[07:54:19] justinh: I'm talking in general terms. You're not likely to run into that issue with new hardware
[07:54:26] wagnerrp: true
[07:54:50] justinh: I think it mostly affected the 'fully featured' card types
[07:55:57] justinh: but yes, it's probably worth exercising caution – but generally a DVB tuner doesn't *have* to specify that it's 'HD compatible' to work with HD
[07:56:15] wagnerrp: ATSC devices all claim it anyway

[07:56:32] justinh: heh well ATSC was invented for HD so that's no big surprise
[07:57:02] wagnerrp: i was informing some user that '1080i support' was meaningless for a digital tuner
[07:57:17] wagnerrp: when i was corrected about the (crappy) old dvb cards
[07:57:45] justinh: I bet you have to go back a way to encounter problems with bandwidth on tuners though
[07:58:41] justinh: yeah a lot of earlier cards are useless for multirec for the same reason
[07:59:12] justinh: that or a lack of decent PID filtering
[08:00:05] justinh: quite pitiful when you consider the bitrates we're talking about. up to 10mbits versus under 40 mbits
[08:00:49] wagnerrp: well you know, back in the 90s, that was a lot
[08:00:58] justinh: had fun last night. got given a job of swapping an external camera on a double-decker bus
[08:01:07] justinh: *long* day
[08:02:12] justinh: the old one's mountings were held on with silicon sealant & I'd not taken a hammer & chisel along with me. Resorted to a big flat blade screwdriver & my car's jack to prise it off. lol
[08:02:27] justinh: (c) Bodgit & Scarper
[08:02:57] justinh: you'd have thought the bus garage would've had a small hammer.. but no
[08:03:32] wagnerrp: they do no maintenance there?
[08:06:05] justinh: they do, but the size of hammers they use... I could hardly lift them let alone swing one
[08:06:11] wagnerrp: heh
[08:06:52] justinh: hope nobody saw me whacking the camera mount with a car jack... most unprofessional ;-)
[08:07:29] wagnerrp: you mean tire iron?
[08:07:44] justinh: no, that was way too light
[08:07:44] wagnerrp: im trying to figure out what kind of jack you could actually manage to swing like a hammer
[08:07:49] dfletcher: what's up gordon freeman :P
[08:08:16] wagnerrp: i would think even one of those small scissor type jacks would be too heavy
[08:08:25] justinh: nah, it was just right
[08:08:32] justinh: didn't need much
[08:08:47] ** dfletcher found a pic of justinh http://www.myfreewallpapers.net/games/wallpap . . . -freeman.jpg **

[08:11:16] justinh: never used mythgame
[08:11:31] justinh: usual drill though. check directory & file permissions etc
[08:11:49] justinh: if ever something doesn't show up where you think it should, check your permissions etc first
[08:12:14] wagnerrp: mythgame has no special handling for any type of emulator
[08:12:25] wagnerrp: if the scanning is not working properly, you have misconfigured it

[08:31:56] gbee: it is
[08:33:07] toeb: so i do need usb 2.0, dvb-c + linux support
[08:35:22] gbee: yeah, USB 1 is totally unsatisfactory for DVB, or ATSC for that
[08:35:24] AndyCap: toeb: pick any 2? :)
[08:35:50] gbee: if you chose a USB tuner
[08:37:30] toeb: AndyCap: you mean any would work work with linux?
[08:37:58] AndyCap: toeb: no, either usb+dvb-c or usb+linux or linux+dvb-c.  :)
[08:38:20] AndyCap: but I seem to recall one USB DVB-C tuner with some linux support and a CI slot
[08:39:10] justinh: USB 1 is even no real use for SDTV
[08:39:31] justinh: I mean what use is a single tuner that won't let you pull a whole multiplex ? ;-)
[08:40:36] toeb: Yes I think the Sundtek MediaTV Pro would work, but this is compared to others a bit expansive and also has only a binary driver. I dont want to support that
[08:42:11] AndyCap: toeb: well, I think there was one beside the evil one. don't remember if it was terratec or pctv .

[09:30:29] drindt: i have a Pinnacle PCTV 73A myth-setup detects that this card can recording 2 channels at once is that right?
[09:32:25] justinh: possibly even more than that. you can crank up the settings to allow 5 simultaneous recordings from one tuner
[09:32:42] justinh: more if you hack the source code. I once had 10 recordings going at the same time from one tuner
[09:33:02] drindt: justinh: from same device?
[09:33:15] justinh: one tuner == same device
[09:33:15] drindt: this is only working with dvb-t right?
[09:33:19] justinh: DVB
[09:33:43] justinh: it'd work with any digital TV system where more than one channel is broadcast on the same frequency
[09:33:47] drindt: i tested it now and seems really they can record from 2 channels at same time
[09:34:39] drindt: that means i should take aware using 2 channels when i cant ensure that they run on same frequency?
[09:35:22] justinh: mythtv won't let you do that if you don't have enough real hardware tuners
[09:35:26] drindt: a test can be record from one channel and switch through all live tv channels and check after if the record is broken?
[09:36:18] drindt: i assume it doesnt matter then to higer this value? or i missunderstand you?
[09:36:35] justinh: mythtv won't let you retune to another frequency if a recording is in progress

[14:30:21] jya: but not a myth distro as such
[14:32:05] gbee: compiz are assuming that every app has been updated to include recent(ish) addition of a fullscreen window flag to X, anything based on QT3 as an example wouldn't have that support
[14:32:44] gbee: 0.22 should have be fine, but before release the fixes I added were broken again and it went unnoticed until a couple of months ago

[14:42:03] dto: using a compiz option
[14:42:26] jya: dto: if you are using ubuntu, this is in their FAQ I believe..
[14:42:44] gbee: jya: it was fixed for the _second_ time a few weeks back, the first being a year ago, but apparently it's been broken yet again or the new fix is wrong, I need to poke sphery iirc
[14:42:50] dto: i probably should have looked there first instead of mythtv,
[14:43:17] jya: gbee: I honestly wouldn't have noticed, I always disable compiz
[14:43:24] gbee: otherwise it really is a QT bug, we're correctly setting the fullscreen flag and compiz is just ignoring it
[14:43:49] jya: dto: it's more a ubuntu issue, if you were using 8.10 and above, you wouldn't have had the problem
[14:44:07] jya: just like since I use 9.04, I have the mouse cursor showing after a call to xrandr

[17:32:05] wagnerrp: johnnyj: http://xkcd.com/654
[17:32:30] sphery: wagnerrp: that would be as stupid as posting a script that's obviously designed to parse file names of stolen videos onto a Google Code account registered in your own name
[17:33:55] johnnyj: wagnerrp: ha – if I had the ingredients, i'd already be screening calls
[17:34:45] sphery: wagnerrp: the really annoying thing about the YouTube 1080p announcement is all the articles that were posted by seemingly serious people, including some actual journalists, that said it was the answer they were looking for and that now cable TV is dead--as they talked about how it saved them $100/mo on TV
[17:35:06] wagnerrp: youtube did?
[17:35:13] sphery: no, people around the 'net did
[17:35:30] sphery: http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&source . . . amp;gs_rfai=
[17:36:17] wagnerrp: well at least the journalists were mainly saying switch over to hulu
[17:36:38] sphery: true, but hulu doesn't work, either
[17:36:55] sphery: I mean, it doesn't give you what people watch on cable
[17:37:25] sphery: so it's basically the same argument as "MythTV saved me $100/mo on cable... (when I dropped cable and started using an antenna for OTA)"
[17:37:58] sphery: I'm saving $100/mo on cable by /choosing/ to forego the shows on cable. It has nothing to do with MythTV
[17:39:04] johnnyj: i dont save $$ on cable – myth is about controlling the interface and limiting the ads for me
[17:39:11] sphery: yep

[18:51:32] wagnerrp: iamlindoro: any comment on this? http://mythtv.org/pipermail/mythtv-users/2010-May/288174.html?
[18:51:46] wagnerrp: my assumption is he still just doesnt have mythvideo set up properly
[18:51:55] wagnerrp: regardless of what he says otherwise
[18:51:56] sphery: wagnerrp: I'm committing some of the patches off #8121 (windows fixes)
[18:52:50] iamlindoro: wagnerrp: That seems correct, he got metadata because MythVideo has built-in fallbacks to the defaults
[18:53:14] wagnerrp: oh, so thats only falls back on first use then?
[18:53:18] iamlindoro: wagnerrp: But if he wants it to work with your script, he needs to go into the settings at least once and ok them
[18:53:35] wagnerrp: if hes never down anything with tv shows, those wont have been set?
[18:54:06] iamlindoro: Mythvideo just falls back, it doesn't set the DB value
[18:54:15] iamlindoro: so the error from the python script is correct
[18:54:35] iamlindoro: It's designed to make MythVideo work even if the user hasn't gone and set grabber scripts
[18:55:21] wagnerrp: should the bindings be doing that?
[18:55:46] iamlindoro: Your choice, It's actually a nicety that predates my involvement, but when I added all the new grabber stuff I kept the fallback
[18:55:48] wagnerrp: i would need to figure out a way to find ${PREFIX} if i wanted to do that...
[18:56:23] wagnerrp: probably something i should have anyway
[18:56:44] iamlindoro: But the user in question should definitely go configure his grabbers regardless

[19:09:42] iamlindoro: Of course, you can always use the free version, Arcledora
[19:09:45] sphery: I Hurd about that GNU kernel once.
[19:09:56] sphery: But, yeah, FreeBSD doesn't count.
[19:10:05] wagnerrp: sphery: no, not FreeBSD
[19:10:22] wagnerrp: im talking about that strange perversion of people running the FreeBSD userland with the Linux kernel
[19:10:29] sphery: that's crazy
[19:10:35] sphery: so they /definitely/ don't count :)
[19:10:38] j-rod: iamlindoro: I thought it was icelight
[19:11:02] iamlindoro: j-rod: Don't you have to change both? CurveIllumination?
[19:11:15] iamlindoro: AngleBrightness
[19:11:15] wagnerrp: sphery: actually, i had that backwards
[19:11:18] j-rod: hm. could be.
[19:11:26] wagnerrp: theyre using the GNU userland with the FreeBSD kernel
[19:11:41] sphery: j-rod: did you hear that iamlindoro got $7M for Arclight? http://www.aviationweek.com/aw/generic/story_ . . . 02/04/02.xml
[19:11:43] j-rod: and for the record, I hate the name mythdora
[19:11:45] sphery: must be nice
[19:11:50] sphery: I only got $1M from MS
[19:12:05] j-rod: damn, I missed all the fun
[19:12:11] iamlindoro: j-rod: I hate that Mythdora is still shipping a non-standard third party mythvideo grabber and metadata updater :)
[19:12:11] wagnerrp: http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/gentoo-alt/bsd/fbsd/ , http://www.debian.org/ports/kfreebsd-gnu/
[19:12:24] iamlindoro: j-rod: Instead of something we support like Jamu :)
[19:12:26] j-rod: iamlindoro: ah, yeah, forgot about that… not my doing :)
[19:12:31] iamlindoro: heh
[19:12:34] sphery: wagnerrp: makes you wonder
[19:12:36] wagnerrp: which one is that?
[19:12:43] j-rod: mythdora has seen its last release though, I do believe
[19:12:48] iamlindoro: imdb-bulk-updater or some such
[19:12:50] iamlindoro: j-rod: oh?
[19:12:58] iamlindoro: j-rod: What's happ'nin?
[19:13:21] j-rod: neither me nor ryan have the time for keeping up with fedora these days
[19:13:37] iamlindoro: ahh
[19:13:41] j-rod: (tbh, I did approximately 0.5% of the work for the latest mythdora release, it was almost all ryan)
[19:13:53] j-rod: so once red hat enterprise linux 6 is out
[19:13:54] iamlindoro: A lot of work for one or two guys
[19:14:01] j-rod: and the clones start showing up
[19:14:15] j-rod: -> el6-based myth distro
[19:14:25] j-rod: much less work to maintain over several years
[19:14:52] iamlindoro: I see-- will get ugly when wagnerrp starts requiring python 3.0 for the bindings ;)
[19:15:03] j-rod: not really
[19:15:04] Cervera: Hi, anybody up for some troubleshooting?
[19:15:13] j-rod: there are already provisions for that in place :)
[19:15:29] Cervera: :P
[19:15:32] wagnerrp: iamlindoro: thats a long way off... the #python people still say dont bother writing for 3.0
[19:15:32] sphery: Cervera: Pull!
[19:15:37] iamlindoro: j-rod: Cool, sounds like it will weather the time better than CentOS 5, then
[19:15:44] ** sphery wonders if anyone gets the skeet shooting reference **
[19:15:45] johnnyj: wow – we were just talking about you cervera
[19:16:01] Cervera: yesterday johnnyj helped me a lot with configuring IRblaster
[19:16:14] Cervera: now the problem
[19:16:20] ** johnnyj takes a cautious bow **
[19:16:29] Cervera: i have a conf file suitable for my STB
[19:16:36] j-rod: iamlindoro: el6 has a lot more myth-relevant stuff enabled in the kernel itself than el5 does too, which definitely helps
[19:16:41] Cervera: but how do i tell lirc to use IT
[19:16:54] Cervera: you here johnnyj :P
[19:16:57] Cervera: didn't notice
[19:16:59] iamlindoro: j-rod: Cool. Need to get my one Fedora 12 box upgraded to 13 and see how it is
[19:17:16] johnnyj: cervera – story a my life – i get no respect
[19:17:23] Cervera: lol
[19:17:46] ** Cervera feels a blind **
[19:17:47] johnnyj: cervera did you edit /etc/lirc/hardware.conf ?
[19:17:58] j-rod: iamlindoro: similarly, I should probably install the latest le browne distro
[19:18:00] Cervera: well, yeah
[19:18:05] Cervera: but didn't help too much
[19:18:14] iamlindoro: j-rod: Heh
[19:18:25] iamlindoro: j-rod: It's less le browne than it was, so that's something
[19:18:27] Cervera: any place i can paste you a part of the conf file?
[19:18:35] johnnyj: use pastebin
[19:18:37] iamlindoro: j-rod: I'll give Fedora one thing, it's a much nicer color scheme :)
[19:18:37] wagnerrp: mythtv.pastebin.com
[19:19:34] iamlindoro: j-rod: And in fairness, I actually rather liked Fedora 12 (my initial confusion at some package management stuff aside)
[19:19:44] Cervera: okay, there.
[19:20:02] ** johnnyj muttering: capture cards->delete all->yadda yadda **
[19:20:05] Cervera: johnnyj: I just edited one line there
[19:20:17] Cervera: with the path of the conf file
[19:20:41] Cervera: so there's lots of garbage problably from autogenerated stuff i did before
[19:20:45] johnnyj: cervera – use http://mythtv.pastebin.com/
[19:20:59] Cervera: i did. it's posted there under my nick
[19:21:09] iamlindoro: Heh, you need to paste the link into the channel...
[19:21:22] johnnyj: mmm – re-running the mythbuntu auto generated can and will create dupes in your ~/.lircrc files
[19:21:34] j-rod: iamlindoro: yeah, noticed from screen shots that 10.04 looks much more black and orange (is it halloween?) than brown
[19:21:57] iamlindoro: j-rod: It's actually a fair amount of purple and grey, which while not ideal is better
[19:21:59] johnnyj: cervera – oh – right – just b/c it's mythtv.pastebin.com doesn't mean we're notified about it
[19:22:24] Cervera: i know:

[19:24:00] iamlindoro: er If
[19:24:16] j-rod: I do that sort of thing all the time
[19:24:33] j-rod: manually upgrade the fedora-release package to the f13 one
[19:24:39] j-rod: then yum upgrade

[19:40:41] johnnyj: TRANSMITTER_MODULES="lirc_dev lirc_mceusb"
[19:40:52] j-rod: Cervera: so basically, the entire TRANSMITTER*= stuff is extraneous bullshit that is only complicating things
[19:41:03] j-rod: there is no /dev/lirc1
[19:41:06] j-rod: only /dev/lirc0
[19:41:22] j-rod: and you only need a single lircd instance to talk to one lirc device

[19:41:36] Cervera: god bless putty, most reliable thing on my windows
[19:41:37] Cervera: :P
[19:41:42] johnnyj: mines got the 2 instances
[19:42:00] j-rod: johnnyj: for a single mceusb device?
[19:42:04] johnnyj: yep
[19:42:32] johnnyj: Bus 002 Device 002: ID 1784:0001 TopSeed Technology Corp.
[19:42:32] j-rod: the second instance is 100% superfluous
[19:42:51] Cervera: j-rod: so how is it that if i type in "irsend SEND_ONCE mceusb 1" it works?
[19:43:10] j-rod: as is REMOTE_MODULES="<anything that is auto-loaded by modprobe>"
[19:43:29] ** Cervera is a bit confused **
[19:43:45] johnnyj: cervera – TRANSMITTER_MODULES="lirc_dev lirc_mceusb"
[19:43:46] j-rod: Cervera: what do you see when you do an 'ls -l /dev/lirc*' ?
[19:43:50] johnnyj: make that change and restart
[19:43:53] johnnyj: restart lirc
[19:44:01] j-rod: johnnyj: irrelevant
[19:44:12] j-rod: lirc_mceusb2 is a mod_alias for lirc_mceusb
[19:44:23] Cervera: lemme ask a couple of Q's to get things straight first
[19:44:36] Cervera: there's the hardware: TopSeed
[19:44:39] j-rod: 1) you should only have a single /dev/lirc0 for a single mceusb device
[19:44:48] j-rod: 2) you only need one lircd instance for both send and receive
[19:44:53] Cervera: there's the module: mceusb
[19:44:58] j-rod: lirc_mceusb, yes
[19:45:17] j-rod: (though I'm in the process of rewriting it, at which point it *will* be called just mceusb...)

[19:48:12] ikevin: if i launch it from gnome, myth is behind gnome's bars
[19:48:27] wagnerrp: is this a dedicated mythfrontend?
[19:48:34] dfletcher: ikevin, install compiz config settings manager and tick the box for legacy fullscreen support
[19:48:39] j-rod: Cervera: then manually add an include directive to /etc/lirc/lircd.conf similar to what should already be there for the mceusb one
[19:48:49] wagnerrp: if so, youre better off not running gnome anyway
[19:49:05] ikevin: i don't use compiz
[19:49:08] j-rod: then everything will run through a single lircd instance, single socket, single device, etc.
[19:49:27] dfletcher: oh heh sorry that just happened to me and it was culprit
[19:49:35] ikevin: wagnerrp, yep sure, so i don't have enought hardware to have a dedicated frontend
[19:49:39] Cervera: j-rod: delete all rows starting with transmitter?
[19:49:56] dfletcher: are you sure though ikevin? ubuntu quietly installs it :P

[19:50:11] ikevin: dfletcher, it's installed so not enabled
[19:50:22] dfletcher: strange then
[19:50:26] wagnerrp: but what dfletcher said, if you are using this as a deskop otherwise, either fix or disable compiz
[19:51:19] ikevin: compiz is not enabled
[19:51:28] j-rod: hell. I really do need to install ubuntu to see how to properly handle this trainwreck

[20:04:53] j-rod: iamlindoro: should be able to simply edit /etc/yum.repos.d/atrpms*.repo files, replacing $releasever with 13 to get around it

[20:06:34] ** j-rod looks at that paste again... **
[20:07:00] iamlindoro: j-rod: Nope
[20:07:10] iamlindoro: At least, not that I recall
[20:07:42] j-rod: wacky. the box says you have atrpms packages. using either apt or smart on there too?
[20:08:06] iamlindoro: I wouldn't have known I could use apt on fedora, and I don't know what smart is in a package management context :)
[20:09:05] Cervera: j-rod: another question: how do i make sure mythtv manages to change channels?
[20:09:06] j-rod: heh. smart was connectiva's attempt at an improvement over both yum and apt. its got some interesting features, but very few people actually use it.
[20:09:09] iamlindoro: j-rod: A locate atrpms only turns up things in /var/cache/yum/
[20:09:44] j-rod: Cervera: you need a channel-change script configured in mythtv-setup for the capture device that needs you changing channels for it
[20:10:02] j-rod: there are several scripts in the wiki now, if I'm thinking clearly, but you'll have to adapt them to your specific device
[20:10:10] Cervera: i've entered the command "irsend SEND_ONCE YES" in the configuration of the backend
[20:10:19] j-rod: yeah, that won't work
[20:10:29] Cervera: hmm, thought so
[20:10:43] j-rod: channel change script gets fed basically just numbers, if I'm thinking clearly
[20:10:47] Cervera: damn, not quite user friendly yet...
[20:11:09] Cervera: i think i have one ready from somewhere...

[20:13:55] j-rod: iamlindoro: only, nevermind. I don't see xine packages from atrpms for f13 yet.

[20:17:02] darkdrgn2k: LOL would help if i pointed the blaster at the ir receiver:-P
[20:17:54] j-rod: johnnyj: so best as I can tell, stock lircd.conf contains a line "#UNCONFIGURED". That gets removed by running the gui, and it does an include of the config files referenced in {REMOTE,TRANSMITTER}_LIRCD_CONF
[20:18:14] johnnyj: that sounds accurate
[20:18:40] iamlindoro: j-rod: Ew, the LIRC client API has nothing for the blasters, huh? Sucks
[20:19:06] j-rod: the what now?
[20:19:35] iamlindoro: j-rod: The lirc client API doesn't expose IR transmitters AFAICT
[20:20:01] j-rod: ah. right. I think you're correct — and thus our need to use scripts that call irsend.
[20:20:12] iamlindoro: j-rod: Was just thinking it'd be nice to use the API if it existed... yeah
[20:20:14] iamlindoro: exactly
[20:20:26] j-rod: this is all being worked on in the upstream kernel...
[20:20:36] j-rod: making IR integrate w/the input subsystem
[20:20:36] iamlindoro: cool
[20:20:43] j-rod: we still have to sort out transmit
[20:20:47] iamlindoro: I'd be down to integrate myth with it
[20:20:58] j-rod: and I still need to do an ir-core port of lirc_dev
[20:21:16] j-rod: so as to maintain full functionality of the mceusb devices
[20:21:38] j-rod: while still having the option to use in-kernel decode w/the input layer that Just Works right out of the box w/the stock remote
[20:21:54] iamlindoro: cool
[20:21:55] j-rod: (and the mce keyboard, haven't forgotten about that jams. :)
[20:27:15] iamlindoro: j-rod: Any easy way to list which packages installed are from atrpms?
[20:28:16] j-rod: I swear there is, but I can't think of it off the top of my head
[20:29:03] j-rod: I lied
[20:29:04] j-rod: rpm -qa --qf="%{Name} %{Packager}\n"
[20:29:08] iamlindoro: yum list |grep atrpms
[20:29:11] iamlindoro: seems to work
[20:29:18] j-rod: knew there was some yum way too
[20:29:29] iamlindoro: hmm, that's wrong, though
[20:29:35] iamlindoro: that seems like all the available packages
[20:29:38] iamlindoro: so I'll do it your way :)
[20:30:04] GrahamIRC: yum list installed
[20:30:31] Cervera: j-rod: after i save a script to a file, remind my rusty brain, how so i run it? i mean it's not just "/home/tv/channelchange.script 2" is it?
[20:31:23] j-rod: iamlindoro: ah, yeah, what GrahamIRC said should work too
[20:31:45] j-rod: Cervera: yeah, that's basically it
[20:31:51] GrahamIRC: start the script with #!/bin/bash (or whatever runs the script)
[20:31:56] j-rod: scriptname <channel number>
[20:32:00] GrahamIRC: and then chmod +x

[20:34:29] Cervera: clever: that's with chmod?
[20:34:36] clever: Cervera: yep
[20:34:50] j-rod: iamlindoro: yeah, you definitely do need some build deps from outside of fedora's repos. out of curiosity, why atrpms instead of rpm fusion?
[20:34:55] Cervera: yay! i remember something from unix classes 2 years ago!
[20:35:07] clever: i never took those classes!
[20:35:08] j-rod: one of the things I like a LOT better about rpm fusion is that it tracks the fedora development tree much closer
[20:35:12] iamlindoro: j-rod: I likely wasn't well enough informed about the repos ecosystem to know better
[20:35:23] j-rod: aha.
[20:35:27] iamlindoro: j-rod: I'm not used to needing all sorts of extra repositories for my myth deps
[20:35:31] Cervera: Electrical Engineering 1'st year we had a course
[20:35:45] iamlindoro: j-rod: But now seems an opportune time to get it right w/ 13
[20:35:52] j-rod: for example, an upgrade from f12+rpmfusion to f13 works without a hitch, because rpm fusion's f13 repos are pretty much just as up-to-date as f13 itself
[20:35:54] iamlindoro: (for me to get it right, that is to say)

[21:15:46] wagnerrp: iamlindoro: hes patience also far exceeds most...
[21:15:47] sphery: yes, empty program guide means either you have no data in the DB or your input connections are misconfigured
[21:16:03] iamlindoro: wagnerrp: far exceeds my own, for sure
[21:16:25] sphery: (or, theoretically, you may have set a Channel Group with no channels and so you're looking at only that group of (no) channels, but I've never seen anyone actually manage to do that without knowing)

[21:22:43] sphery: stib: you should restore the DB backup, as I described above, then do a mythconverg_restore.pl --change_hostname --old_hostname="localhost" --new_hostname="YYYY"
[21:22:51] sphery: (and update YYYY to the right hostname for your mythbackend
[21:22:56] stib: oh thanks
[21:23:00] sphery: no, direct DB edit is bad
[21:23:10] sphery: you'll almost definitely break things as there are /many/ more tables involved
[21:23:14] sphery: that's why we have a script to do it
[21:23:14] Cervera: sphery – if I name channels as in the EPG you think it'll work?

[21:24:05] gbee: Cervera: xmltvid
[21:24:15] sphery: Cervera: I think you need to set the xmltvid for each of your channels, manually, then re-run mythfilldatabase --file
[21:24:29] sphery: use mythtv-setup or mythfrontend or MythWeb channel editor
[21:24:45] sphery: gbee is faster than me

[21:26:54] Cervera: http?
[21:26:54] sphery: from a web browser
[21:26:57] sphery: yeah, http
[21:27:06] sphery: You have to install MythWeb
[21:27:14] Cervera: okay, port? p/w? where's that configured?
[21:27:23] Cervera: (of course)

[21:31:44] Cervera: so, i'm in the web interface, but first, where can i find what are the xmltvid's i need to insert?
[21:31:56] Cervera: i mean, the xml file is huge
[21:32:07] sphery: Cervera: by reading the XML file :(
[21:32:07] Cervera: any tips?
[21:32:10] iamlindoro: sphery: not that I know off the top of my head
[21:32:25] Cervera: any keyword for using grep?
[21:33:22] Cervera: OOH OOH! ON NEED! the xml is already listed in the web interface
[21:33:29] Cervera: just c&p
[21:33:30] sphery: Cervera: http://wiki.xmltv.org/index.php/XMLTVFormat
[21:33:57] sphery: Cervera: if you're saying the xmltvid is already populated, then there's nowhere to copy it to
[21:34:22] Cervera: well, it's populated, but no channum assigned to it
[21:34:36] sphery: Cervera: but basically, the xmltvid in mythweb's channel settings page has to be identical to the id in, for example, <channel id="I10436.labs.zap2it.com">
[21:34:42] sphery: as shown at http://wiki.xmltv.org/index.php/XMLTVFormat
[21:34:58] sphery: channum/callsign/description/name/... are all irrelevant at this point
[21:35:13] sphery: you'll need to fix them eventually, but they won't affect whether things show in the UI

[23:20:05] Cervera: well, however you look at the script, it works from command line, and not from backend
[23:20:38] sphery: probably permissions, but would need to see the log to know
[23:20:40] Cervera: and no error on the logs, it seems to think it changes channel because the osd changes
[23:20:58] bollyman: I have a Sony MCE remote, "rm-mc10" (RC6), is there a way to tell if it will work with mythtv?
[23:21:05] sphery: so the script is succeeding
[23:21:05] wagnerrp: hehe... blasting 'yes yes' is only allowed to happen between 0–5am while the kids are asleep
[23:21:31] Cervera: http://mythtv.pastebin.com/mjXw3q3J
[23:21:42] sphery: Cervera: chances are you need to fill in the frequency ID in mythtv's channel editor
[23:21:47] Cervera: wagnerrp – LMAO
[23:22:09] sphery: where freqid is the identifier you use to tell the STB to tune the particular channel (generally channel number)
[23:22:25] Cervera: sphery erm – oops?
[23:22:45] sphery: so probably you need to set it to the same value you have in channum
[23:23:01] Cervera: i'll do that, thought freq was for internal tuner

[23:25:34] Cervera: uses apache, okay (don't laugh, i don't know all that)

[23:27:35] wagnerrp: oh? what is it apache2 on linux?
[23:27:43] sphery: no, I mean the ps ax
[23:27:49] sphery: you're full of BSD
[23:28:10] wagnerrp: well... uh... your full of gnu
[23:28:13] sphery: from a real ps's man page: To see every process on the system using BSD syntax:\nps ax
[23:28:41] iamlindoro: Alternately, from a real man's ps page
[23:29:02] sphery: heh, that too

[23:30:14] clever: i sometimes use 'ps -eH x'
[23:30:22] clever: the tree helps to see what ran what
[23:30:37] clever: oops, my new Qt prog is leaving defunct's
[23:31:19] sphery: clever: GUI program that runs external processes through QProcess?

[23:32:07] sphery: http://bugreports.qt.nokia.com/browse/QTBUG-5990 if you are doing things right
[23:32:11] sphery: if not, do things right :)
[23:32:13] clever: sphery: its a cli daemon running php to decode something
[23:32:13] clever: via QProcess
[23:32:30] clever: it might be something i'm doing wrong, i delete the QProcess if there is a timeout

[23:32:42] sphery: I haven't been able to repro the issue without a GUI (i.e. no event thread)
[23:32:56] clever: i do have an event loop in the main thread
[23:32:59] sphery: heh, that would be different
[23:33:35] sphery: ah, if you have an event loop, you can likely trigger that bug
[23:34:21] clever: the app does exist, it just takes longer then if (!myproc.waitForFinished(5000)) { sometimes
[23:34:39] clever: i'll just mod it to not give up

[23:36:05] clever: sphery: http://mythtv.pastebin.com/qdxCLw7J
[23:36:22] clever: qscript is great for making the app flexible without recompiling, could be very usefull in a mythtv theme
[23:36:43] dan__t: Hrm, still need to find a remote before I hit up Fry's on the way home.
[23:36:44] clever: let the script in the theme control parts of how the ui behaves
[23:36:54] sphery: there's hope of including qscript support in themes, but no one has gotten motivated
[23:37:07] sphery: has been talked about many times, though
[23:37:20] clever: ive thrown together 2 deamons using it and it has helped make them massively stable and go together alot faster
[23:37:45] clever: errors arent as fatal as in c++ and i can reload the code at run-time so i dont loose state
[23:38:08] sphery: clever: looks like you need some myproc.close() in there
[23:38:22] clever: yeah
[23:40:53] clever: what is the main class for the themes, which is only created once in the process?
[23:41:02] Cervera: good night all – 3:00 AM here
[23:41:08] clever: somewhere i could stick a QScriptEngine

[23:50:17] wagnerrp: bit pricey
[23:50:30] dan__t: Really?
[23:50:41] wagnerrp: i got my MCE remotes for ~$25
[23:50:46] dan__t: According to Google, its alright.
[23:50:54] wagnerrp: remote, plus receiver, plus one blaster
[23:50:57] dan__t: Hrm... will "any" version 2 MCE remote work? I believe that's what I got from the wiki
[23:51:13] dan__t: And I see no talk about a version 3
[23:52:32] dan__t: Ah well, maybe they'll have some more at the store. I can price match with the droid heh.
[23:52:33] wagnerrp: why NULL, why???
[23:52:40] Beirdo: NULL this
[23:52:41] dan__t: Alrighty, thanks for the tips, have a good one.

[23:53:32] wagnerrp: i really hate how you cant use standard syntax in mysql when using NULL
[23:53:53] Beirdo: heh, so don't use NULL :)
[23:54:08] sphery: but that is standard according to SQL, right?
[23:54:18] sphery: just not "the same as non-null" right?
[23:54:22] wagnerrp: Beirdo: what am i to use instead?
[23:54:44] sphery: could use the string "NULL" :)
[23:54:44] Beirdo: umm, declare the field as NOT NULL and leave em blank?
[23:54:48] Beirdo: I dunno
[23:55:03] wagnerrp: im doing manipulation of recordedmarkup

[23:55:07] Beirdo: oh
[23:55:08] sphery: still would need to use "IS NULL" or "IS NOT NULL" in queries
[23:55:09] Beirdo: heh
[23:55:11] wagnerrp: its not up to me whether that stuff is NULL
[23:55:17] Beirdo: true nuff
[23:55:34] Beirdo: sphery: nah, if the fields are defined NOT NULL, there is never a NULL in there
[23:55:36] sphery: WHERE whatever = NULL would be nice
[23:55:48] wagnerrp: s/nice/absolutely amazing/
[23:55:52] Beirdo: but messing up a database just to get around mysql being stupid...
[23:55:53] Beirdo: hehe
[23:55:57] sphery: oh, you said NOT NULL... for some reason, I read that as DEFAULT NULL
[23:56:22] wagnerrp: but no... ive got to have special handling when dealing with the setting stable for global (NULL hostname) options
[23:56:32] sphery: so speaking of mysql, thoughts on auto-repair crashed tables versus making InnoDB tables mandatory?
[23:56:36] wagnerrp: now i need special handling in the markup tables for NULL fields
[23:56:41] wagnerrp: what does that 'data' field do anyway?
[23:56:43] sphery: and are crashed tables actually impossible with InnoDB?
[23:57:05] Beirdo: doubt they are actually impossible, but I'm not the expert
[23:57:11] ** wagnerrp points sphery at kormoc **
[23:57:15] Beirdo: kormoc would be a good person to ask if he's on

[23:57:28] Beirdo: wow
[23:57:29] sphery: yeah, I wanna talk to kormoc, but ^^^
[23:57:37] sphery: he left me... :(
[23:57:40] Beirdo: you could email him
[23:57:48] sphery: I've been eating chocolate ice cream like you wouldn't believe
[23:57:49] wagnerrp: Beirdo: you could drive over and kick him onlie
[23:58:03] Beirdo: hehe
[23:58:08] Beirdo: not right now I couldn't
[23:58:10] sphery: yeah, go kick him for me
[23:58:12] Beirdo: I'm in Philly :)
[23:58:16] sphery: oh, long drive
[23:58:16] wagnerrp: so
[23:58:21] wagnerrp: that just means it will take a couple days
[23:58:23] Beirdo: so it's closer for you :)
[23:58:24] sphery: might have to wait 'til you get home
[23:58:27] sphery: heh
[23:58:30] sphery: still farther for me :)
[23:58:39] wagnerrp: i think you could make it in... 36 hours
[23:58:44] Beirdo: I dropped him a message in a chat window where he's "away"
[23:58:49] Beirdo: so... who knows
[23:59:04] Beirdo: he's been having some hell weeks at work
[23:59:16] wagnerrp: its 27 from here to reno
[23:59:24] wagnerrp: i dont know how far past reno seattle is
[23:59:32] Beirdo: a long way
[23:59:33] Beirdo: heh
