[00:20:19] wagnerrp: why do people never check the archives before posting...
[00:20:48] wagnerrp: seriously, three completely separate threads about the google tv?
[00:20:57] wagnerrp: do people think theyre the first person to have seen the device?
[00:21:41] wagnerrp: 'hey guys, look at this insider information i got from google'
[00:23:08] wagnerrp: ive got archives from this last poster all the way back to march of last year, its not like he just signed up for the mailing list to post that
[00:25:32] iamlindoro: I like the guy who "broke the news" about VP8
[00:25:39] iamlindoro: very, very vaguely

[00:26:21] iamlindoro: Someone should respond with that ;)

[00:28:03] iamlindoro: It's one of the AVCHD profiles
[00:28:21] wagnerrp: profiles are named, levels are numbered
[00:28:43] wagnerrp: unless they decided to redefine that whole system for avchd
[00:28:58] wagnerrp: i wouldnt put it past them to do so
[00:29:02] iamlindoro: Well, I understood it to mean High, Level 4.0

[00:31:32] wagnerrp: i dont think theres any reason to use more than 3.1 for DVD content, certainly not 4.0
[00:31:46] wagnerrp: arent most hardware decoders only designed for up to 4.1?
[00:32:16] iamlindoro: Well, nothing said DVD, and it was a joke ;)
[00:32:26] wagnerrp: yeah, i get it
[00:33:17] wagnerrp: well by 'dvd content', i mean anything compressed to 480p or less
[00:34:43] wagnerrp: i recommended setting up Squid to the aussie complaining that his kids kept re-watching the same youtube videos and blowing his download cap
[00:34:54] wagnerrp: although i wonder if that would technically violate ToS
[00:35:08] wagnerrp: since youre downloading the content with something other than their official flash player
[00:35:18] wagnerrp: and storing it for long term use

[01:25:06] beata: when you scan for metadata on mythvideo, how does it determine if its looking at a movie or a tv show?
[01:26:19] iamlindoro: if (Season == 0 && Episode == 0) movie = true;
[01:26:41] beata: makes sense

[01:58:55] beata: another stupid question in mythvideo i have series/season1 series/season2 if for whatever reason there is no metadata for season1, but there is metadata for season2. if im in the base mythvideo view i get no coverart for the series folder. is that correct behaviour?
[01:59:16] wagnerrp: series and seasons do not have metadata, only individual videos
[01:59:49] wagnerrp: based off a couple criteria, mythvideo will do an image hunt for images for the seasons and servers among their child videos
[01:59:59] wagnerrp: s/servers/series/
[02:00:09] beata: yea sorry i ment series/season1/files.avi have metadata
[02:00:34] wagnerrp: the parent directory will pull images from any children files
[02:00:51] beata: thats what i thought it should do
[02:01:00] wagnerrp: the grandparent directory will pull images from any grandchildren files, if the name of that directory is the same as the title of the grandchild files
[02:01:53] wagnerrp: in order for the title of a video to be properly set to work as such, it must have been scanned after upgrading to 0.22
[02:03:33] beata: so for example I have Castle with 2 subfolders season1 and season2. Season2 videos have metadata but season1 does not. At the root level when looking at Castle, i get no cover. inside the castle folder i see coverart for Season2 and nothing for season1 (as expected). But i did except for the parent Castle folder to get the Season2 cover
[02:04:26] wagnerrp: are the videos titled 'Castle' or 'Castle (2009)'?
[02:04:48] wagnerrp: note that is the title in the database, not anything related to the filename
[02:04:52] beata: i just looked in the db it is castle 2009
[02:05:14] beata: so if I renamed the folder to Castle 2009, it would work as expected
[02:05:18] beata: interesting
[02:05:29] wagnerrp: or you retitle all your videos to 'Castle'
[02:06:21] beata: inside the db right

[02:21:14] wagnerrp: but as always, take the necessary precautions when tinkering with the database
[02:21:38] wagnerrp: ive got a spider bite... or something... on the back side of my arm

[02:24:10] ThisOtherGuy: yup
[02:24:17] ** wagnerrp has never seen that before **
[02:24:22] wagnerrp: what program?
[02:24:39] ThisOtherGuy: trying to delete something via the frontend

[02:52:59] Beirdo: probably
[02:54:21] wilberfan: anyone using mythtv with debian? I'm having dependency problemos...
[02:54:33] Beirdo: in particular... the audio... it's 1/8" stereo, not RCA, right?
[02:54:48] wagnerrp: Beirdo: http://www.google.com/images?q=PVR-250
[02:55:06] Beirdo: now why the heck didn't I think of that?
[02:55:10] wagnerrp: :)
[02:55:17] Beirdo: thanks
[02:55:21] wagnerrp: the vanilla ones are 1/8", the MCE ones are RCA
[02:55:44] Beirdo: blargh
[02:55:49] wagnerrp: at least thats how it is with the 150s/1600s/1800s/etc...
[02:55:53] Beirdo: I forget which ones I have :)
[02:56:08] Beirdo: I guess I'll order cables AFTER the tuners are here... at least those cables
[02:56:30] wagnerrp: you can always pick them up for $5 at the local radio shack
[02:56:45] Beirdo: or even less from monoprice if I can wait a few days

[03:02:23] Beirdo: nah, directv receiver on one end, jack on the other ;)
[03:03:05] Beirdo: the building has distributed DirecTV, but I'm fairly sure it will only work one per jack without me buying switching gear, but even then I need 2 jacks active
[03:03:18] Beirdo: only one drop per room is the problem
[03:03:45] wagnerrp: not sure how you would have distributed dtv, unless they run their own cable headend
[03:04:05] wagnerrp: unless they really just have that much hardware mounted on the roof
[03:04:08] Beirdo: they have a massive distribution box (for MDU)
[03:04:16] Beirdo: two dishes...
[03:04:31] wagnerrp: doesnt each receiver need its own LNB?
[03:04:36] Beirdo: then switch all apartments to one or the other based on requested polarity
[03:04:38] Beirdo: no
[03:04:52] wagnerrp: you just can only capture one polarity at a time?
[03:05:02] wagnerrp: so you need one for each polarity for each satellite?
[03:05:04] Beirdo: it needs that as there's two polarities, and switching's done by DC voltage on the feed line
[03:05:18] Beirdo: you can only receive one at a time per receiver
[03:05:41] Beirdo: so at the other end of each drop, it just needs to switch that drop to a dish that's always at that polarit
[03:05:44] Beirdo: y
[03:05:54] Beirdo: I used to run a very small version of that at home ;)
[03:06:10] Beirdo: but here it distributes to like 100 or so apartments
[03:06:20] Beirdo: or maybe more, I dunno :)
[03:06:28] Beirdo: I have 3 drops in a 2BR apt

[03:07:11] Beirdo: I wanna go see the distribution room, but that will never happen, I'm sure
[03:07:56] Beirdo: so now I have to determine HOW I wanna cable it :)

[03:15:51] iamlindoro: just the one the media decided to latch on to
[03:16:05] wagnerrp: well yeah, they dont have 350k users dedicated solely to making iphones
[03:16:10] iamlindoro: Odds are fairly good most of the droid phones are made in that same factory
[03:16:19] wagnerrp: crack open your computer, and i guarantee theres at least half a dozen foxconn parts in there
[03:17:39] iamlindoro: Kind of what I was getting at
[03:17:49] iamlindoro: there's been no indication that this worker even assembled iphones

[03:22:23] Beirdo: because they are bored of oil spills

[03:23:21] wagnerrp: over 300k people housed in the dormitories of that plant, and what... 8? in the past several months?
[03:25:35] wagnerrp: heh... the US has a lower rate than Canada
[03:25:57] wagnerrp: we kill you before you get the chance to commit suicide
[03:26:34] Beirdo: well, and Canada winters are more depressing
[03:30:40] Beirdo: meh, I'll order the cables later

[03:56:09] wagnerrp: what show?
[03:56:12] beata: Seven_Days
[03:56:19] iamlindoro: Don't laugh, I'm 100% serious
[03:56:29] iamlindoro: the stuff doesn't get put up there by itself, it relies on us to do it
[03:56:35] wagnerrp: they have it... just not in english, oddly
[03:56:40] beata: yea

[03:57:39] beata: its a decent show
[04:01:13] beata: and haray for regex

[04:46:53] Beirdo: OK this looks retarded
[04:46:55] wagnerrp: only compressed in AC3 or DTS
[04:47:18] beata: when i enable either or or both, i only here loud static
[04:47:26] Beirdo: watching Fox... in HD... a commercial went to 4:3 with a letterboxed 16:9 commercial in it
[04:47:35] Beirdo: way to go
[04:48:36] Beirdo: so I had a black framed commercial
[05:03:21] beata: wagnerrp, from what i can see my av recv should support ac3 or dts
[05:04:00] [R]: Beirdo: those are the bgest
[05:04:00] Wicked: hmmm...i added a new user job.....using the mythlink.pl...is there a way to enable that user job on all rules? will be very tedious to have to enable this job for every single recording rule
[05:04:38] iamlindoro: Why not just cron it for 5 and 35 after the hour? Or assign it to the "recording started" event in the event manager?
[05:05:25] Wicked: both very good ideas which i had not thought of.....ill have to look into the even manager
[05:05:39] Wicked: would prefer that route over a external cronjob :)

[05:14:12] Beirdo: does it?
[05:14:12] wagnerrp: theres only the one storage group, 'Videos'
[05:14:53] Beirdo: mmm
[05:14:54] beata: multiple directories for Videos
[05:15:04] wagnerrp: mythweb only works with local content
[05:15:08] Beirdo: so nice to have a TV again
[05:15:19] wagnerrp: in 0.23, it will use the Videos storage group, but only for folders defined on that host
[05:16:25] beata: aye i have 2 folders defined for that group, but i have to manually create a symbolic link in mythweb/data to one of my folders defined in videos
[05:16:40] wagnerrp: yeah, i dont know why that is
[05:16:51] beata: so when I click on a video not in that folder i get a 404
[05:16:51] wagnerrp: it shouldnt be, as the code no longer needs access from those folders
[05:17:00] beata: hmm
[05:17:35] wagnerrp: the mythvideo storage group support in mythweb needs some work
[05:18:03] beata: got ya not a big deal for me anyways was just curious
[05:20:26] Wicked: ok so i added a new system even for the recording started...do i need to enable anything or will it just start doing its thing?

[08:42:46] justinh: lol
[08:42:54] achew22: :)
[08:43:15] achew22: is it possible for a theme to change based on recording state?
[08:44:19] justinh: interesting, but I don't think so
[08:44:52] justinh: some elements can change based on certain states – which is how recording/transcoding etc icons & text work
[08:44:54] achew22: are there conditionals in the theme files?
[08:45:06] [R]: blarg... i spent all that time regenerating the mkv, and myth doesn't even use the chapter name

[08:46:48] justinh: achew22: I dunno if it's documented (I'd expect it to, iamlindoro did a good number on the wiki) – but where a directory is specified for an imagetype filename mythui will use a random image from there
[08:47:21] justinh: here we go
[08:47:23] justinh: "The filename attribute can *also* be a directory name (which must end in "/"). This will select and display a random image from the directory. The directory can be relative to the theme directory or absolute path. "
[08:47:57] achew22: so you don't have to explicitly define /ThemeName/bgs/background{1,2,3,4,5}.png you can just say /ThemeName/bgs/?
[08:48:08] justinh: yes
[08:48:26] achew22: are the options/settings pages rendered through mythui?
[08:48:34] justinh: no
[08:48:43] justinh: but if there's only one image I expect it'd be more efficient to specify the whole filename
[08:48:53] achew22: are they hard coded?
[08:48:59] justinh: yeah
[08:49:14] justinh: actually plugin setting pages are mythui – well for mythui'd plugins they are anyway
[08:49:21] achew22: and there are no plans to change that?
[08:49:22] justinh: but main setup stuff isn't, and never will be
[08:49:31] justinh: plan is to move to web-based setup pages
[08:49:36] justinh: no gui needed
[08:49:37] achew22: AARGH
[08:49:58] achew22: thats what I wanted to do to contribute this summer. Write a mythUI parser that rendered the setup pages for a browser
[08:50:04] justinh: background for qt-based paged is defined in qtlook.txt
[08:50:34] achew22: is that going to be a web server written in QT?
[08:50:57] justinh: achew22: well, the main man isaac has kyboshed converting setup to mythui saying he wants it to be web-based – but so far nobody has even looked at it AFAIK
[08:51:32] justinh: achew22: there's already a web server of sorts in mythbackend
[08:51:48] justinh: that's what you see on 6544 – and also what the upnp server kinda is
[08:52:27] achew22: If I showed up with some code do you think I could get Isaac to take a look?
[08:52:36] achew22: the webserver of sorts serves the status page, right?

[08:58:15] [R]: lol
[08:58:25] achew22: Well I just wanna do something that I kind of understand and I'm WAY more comfortable with web stuff than QT
[08:58:27] justinh: I dunno, we wait for ages for something to be started then people are queuing up to work on it
[08:58:43] achew22: [R]: I'll race you.... ready... GO!
[08:59:10] [R]: achew22: the actual code that does the stuff is all C++/QT...
[08:59:30] achew22: [R]: I'm aware but at least its rendering into HTML and not into MythUI which is entirely new to me
[09:00:08] achew22: [R]: if you looked at it, do you have any idea how that code intends to deal with input cards and cross linking them?
[09:00:18] [R]: cross linking?
[09:01:20] achew22: Input source is dependent on capture cards
[09:01:50] achew22: it only looks like "General" has been put in the XML
[09:02:11] achew22: and I don't know how "Capture cards" would be put in there or would it be custom code?
[09:02:24] justinh: so? it's only gonna be doing in html what's rendered to screen in fugly boxes now
[09:03:12] achew22: agreed but the xml defines a schema and validation rules for the renderer and I don't know how those would be extended to describe the "Input sources" page
[09:03:20] justinh: get stuff out of the db, present choices as select boxes/dropdowns/checkboxes, submit changes
[09:03:52] achew22: look at http://svn.mythtv.org/trac/attachment/ticket/8262/settings.xml it only defines <config> for the "General"
[09:04:03] achew22: which is definitely interesting
[09:04:05] [R]: obviously its not everything...
[09:04:22] achew22: Yeah, I'm curious if you have any idea how you would define the cross relations in XML like that
[09:04:34] justinh: you don;t
[09:04:42] achew22: Okay
[09:04:47] achew22: so there is custom code to deal with that
[09:04:48] justinh: the qt gui stuff doesn't validate anything either

[09:05:13] achew22: doesn't it in some sense because you can't enter "pancake" in a number field?
[09:05:14] justinh: it gets lists of stuff from the db, or hard-coded lists & presents choices that way
[09:05:18] [R]: achew22: like i said... the code that actually DOES the stuff is C++/QT

[09:05:40] justinh: it could validate after input, before making changes
[09:05:48] justinh: like any form on the web
[09:06:17] justinh: but I think even html allows a few types of entty box
[09:06:23] [R]: no
[09:06:26] [R]: javascript does though
[09:06:44] achew22: [R]: yes but the output is HTML instead of some UI framework. I have taken a bunch of C++ classes and am comfortable (ish) in it. I have also taken a bunch of classes on HTML and done web dev in general. I haven't done anything ever with QT's UI stuff which is what I think of when I think of QT
[09:07:16] justinh: qt ui stuff is easy & quick. which is why it's so butt ugly
[09:07:43] justinh: blown up to 10 foot nterface size, even more ugly
[09:07:50] achew22: justinh: depends on how picky you are. If you use HTML5 (whatever that means) the <input> tag has been extended to support "email", "range", "color", "number" and a few more
[09:08:10] justinh: yeah well there you go
[09:08:15] justinh: plenty of scope
[09:08:55] justinh: anyway validation will still be done wherever. you don't seriously expect anybody to code stuff which'd allow somebody to be that retarded do you? ;)
[09:09:36] achew22: lol "Many settings pages have very little error checking. You can easily screw things up..." – from MythWeb
[09:09:42] achew22: my favorite warning ever
[09:10:13] justinh: yeah that's cos they were never intended to replace anything – hence the amount of effort that went into them & that warning
[09:10:34] achew22: I know why it is that way, it just makes me smile whenever I see it
[09:10:37] justinh: it was kind of an invitation for somebody to come along & polish it but nobody ever did

[19:07:45] wagnerrp: are you changing the hostname of your backend?

[20:34:05] wagnerrp: AndyCap: many unlicensed (illegal) players will skip those
[20:34:23] sphery: AndyCap: well since Myth only imports unencrypted DVD's... I don't see the problem
[20:34:50] wagnerrp: and AnyDVD will detect, remove, and create a newly mastered virtual DVD without them
[20:34:53] sphery: now if you've modified your MythTV/system to allow use with encrypted DVD's, that's not our problem

[21:30:22] pjcrux: hello all, have a problem when scanning channels in 0.22 on Fedora 12. After a certain channel (it's different each time) the channel says "no lock" scan stops. The card is a PVR-500 on analog cable in the US. I tried changing the broadcast setting to US-Cable but still the same result. Any ideas?
[21:31:01] sphery: pjcrux: you never scan for channels on analog capture cards in the US
[21:31:13] sphery: pjcrux: do the video sources portion of http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/mythtv/users/264034#264034
[21:31:51] sphery: NightMonkey: to fix your issues, do the video sources portion of http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/mythtv/users/264034#264034
[21:32:01] sphery: direct DB editing isn't supported
[21:32:10] sphery: and the approach shown in the post works properly
[21:34:04] pjcrux: ok thanks sphery

[21:45:13] sphery: kilmarnock: fix your init script so it properly sets the HOME environment variable
[21:45:28] sphery: kilmarnock: talk to the #mythbuntu people to see how they want to handle it with upstart
[21:45:54] kilmarnock: echo $HOME --> /root
[21:46:16] sphery: kilmarnock: the problem is that it's not set in the environment starting mythbackend--the init/upstart environment
[21:46:30] kilmarnock: I tried to do "export HOME=/root" in the init script, but it does not react to it
[21:46:46] sphery: what distro?
[21:46:48] sphery: ubuntu?
[21:46:50] kilmarnock: ubuntu
[21:47:00] sphery: talk to the folks in #mythbuntu
[21:48:55] sphery: kilmarnock: see, also the whole thread at http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/mythtv/users/431273#431273
[21:49:19] sphery: basically, though, the distro needs fixing because MythTV is working properly (and you now have a recent enough version that you get a proper error message)

[21:50:04] kilmarnock: I tried the softlink before
[21:50:13] kilmarnock: I even copied it there
[21:50:30] sphery: kilmarnock: I'm not saying that the solutions there will work--as that's using a different repo
[21:50:41] sphery: kilmarnock: I'm just saying that it discusses the issue and presents more info
[21:50:51] sphery: that might be useful when you, er, ask the folks in #mythbuntu
[21:50:56] kilmarnock: I know. But I thought its just a proggie
[21:51:00] sphery: since *buntu needs to fix their config :)
[21:51:23] kilmarnock: its not the original repo, it comes from launchpad
[21:53:38] squish102: and if it is recorded in 5.1 is there anything i need to do to mythfront end? I'm playing over hdmi

[22:48:38] sphery: lapion: this is when it locks up the UI on 2nd channel when using the frontend channel editor?
[22:48:54] lapion: thanks to mythweb ( all that time I was looking into mythnet)
[22:49:19] lapion: No that wasn't the lockup problem, rather the bounce-back problem..
[22:49:23] NightMonkey (NightMonkey!~NightMonk@pdpc/supporter/professional/nightmonkey) has quit (Ping timeout: 260 seconds)
[22:49:32] lapion: the lockup problem is solved by not using browse-mode
[22:49:34] sphery: don't remember that problem... bounce back to ?
[22:50:04] lapion: When entering live viewing mode I got bounced back to the menu
[22:50:09] sphery: oh
[22:50:30] sphery: I see... Yeah, without freq id, that would prevent proper tuning/channel change
[22:50:35] sphery: glad you got it
[22:50:48] sphery: and I'll keep that in mind for when someone else sees that issue
[22:50:51] sphery: thanks for the update
[22:53:08] lapion: do you use browse mode ? otherwhise you can check if the edit-channel-freeze problem only arises when browse is active/used ( directly from osd-menu
[22:54:33] iamlindoro: He doesn't use live Tv, so doesn't need browse mode ;)
[22:56:33] lapion: okay, thanks for your help sphery, all little bits and pieces of information got me on the right road
[22:56:53] lapion: maybe you can check iamlindoro ?

[23:00:28] sphery: I may eventually look into it, but it will be a while
[23:00:32] EvilGuru: I am looking to get myself a DVI-S/S2 card. However, there appear to be few, if any, PCI-e options. Is the Hauppauge Nova still the best PCI bet?
[23:01:52] NightMonkey: sphery: Thanks for the pointer. Should mythbackend be stopped when running mythtv-setup to delete a source?
[23:03:19] sphery: NightMonkey: yep
[23:03:45] sphery: and keep mythbackend shut down until you've finished re-adding it and reconfiguring input connections

[23:11:57] [R]: why does no one make a simple device that you plug something into and it connects to a computer via serial port and its a simple computer controlled on/off...
[23:12:45] Beirdo: go for it
[23:12:52] iamlindoro: because computers haven't had serial ports since we all wore animal skins :)
[23:13:06] [R]: than usb port
[23:13:07] [R]: whatever
[23:13:18] [R]: i know how to make one... but i'd rather just buy something
[23:13:24] iamlindoro: Think that kind of thing was just leapfrogged by wireless/X11
[23:13:27] iamlindoro: er X10
[23:13:31] [R]: but i dont need wireless
[23:13:36] [R]: and x10 is super expensive
[23:14:26] iamlindoro: Then I revert to bierdo's answer-- you asked why, those are the answers
[23:14:56] iamlindoro: tethering everything to the length of a serial cable is of limited use, and X10 matured before anyone else thought of doing it, it's undeniably more elegant, price aside
[23:15:18] [R]: theres the ecostrip... but thats expesive and i dont need a full power strip
[23:17:26] [R]: i still need to finish the code on my PIC for my ir device
[23:17:32] [R]: grr, so much time and so little to do
[23:17:37] [R]: wait strike that, reverse it
[23:17:38] [R]: :)
[23:17:41] Beirdo: hah
[23:18:11] Beirdo: anyways.. I hope to resume work on my 4-way IR box... especially now that I have 3 DirecTV receivers :)
[23:18:31] iamlindoro: kinky

[23:19:55] [R]: i'm debating the merits of getting an analog tuner... but i just dont record enough off analog channels to merit it

[23:50:04] wagnerrp: iamlindoro: ive not noticed any new backend commands to play with for the metadata stuff
[23:50:19] wagnerrp: have those not gone in yet? or did i just miss them? or is it not going to work that way?
[23:50:43] iamlindoro: wagnerrp, The one and only addition to the BE so far is actually via MythXML, not the proto
[23:51:07] wagnerrp: ah, so new mythxml commands to play with
[23:51:18] iamlindoro: http://mythbackend:6544/Myth/GetInternetSearc . . . v&Page=1
[23:51:20] wagnerrp: although thats just for the webpage hosting isnt it
[23:51:21] iamlindoro: etc.
[23:52:01] iamlindoro: Because all of MNV is XML-based, and MythXML serves it up natively, it's the logical choice to proxy all the MNV searches/etc. thgrough
