[00:00:31] achew22: that would be in mythvideo, right?
[00:01:12] wagnerrp: that particular solution, i believe would be entirely in mythvideo
[00:02:24] achew22: do you know if you can play back unencryped bluray file structures over video groups?
[00:03:06] wagnerrp: the mythvideo page says no
[00:03:17] achew22: do you think it is the same problem?
[00:03:45] sphery: it is
[00:08:52] curtlee (curtlee!~curtlee@unaffiliated/curtlee) has quit (Remote host closed the connection)
[00:09:02] achew22: this could be a double wammy solution then
[00:11:00] wagnerrp: sphery: do you remember what Grey Foxx's NBD code did?
[00:11:34] wagnerrp: oh, that only worked because he was dealing with a physical DVD player
[00:11:53] wagnerrp: so he was basically just cloning the device node on the remote machine
[00:15:05] wagnerrp: you could rig up something quick and dirty with a modified loopback device
[00:15:18] wagnerrp: but something that required a custom kernel module would never be accepted into the repository
[00:16:20] sphery: right
[00:16:53] sphery: and the Fuse system was similarly clunky--required low-level system configuration changes to enable it.
[00:17:06] wagnerrp: yeah
[00:17:22] sphery: iamlindoro's approach is the best so far, but needs finishing (which may require some effort by some video/player experts)
[00:17:43] sphery: that meaning, specifically, MythTV video/player
[00:17:52] wagnerrp: achew22: ^^^ was the third approach i mentioned
[00:17:56] stoth (stoth!~stoth@ool-18bfe0d5.dyn.optonline.net) has joined #mythtv-users
[00:18:24] wagnerrp: a specialized file transfer mode off the backend
[00:21:16] yudi1: I am following this guide to set up on ubuntu 10.04, but when I run mythtv backend setup I am not getting the "directory to hold recordings" option? I want all my recordings on external harddrive, how can I achieve this?
[00:21:32] poodyp (poodyp!~poodyp@ip68-5-35-26.oc.oc.cox.net) has joined #mythtv-users
[00:22:03] wagnerrp: yudi1: in mythtv-setup, storage groups, set the folder you want to record to in the 'Default' group
[00:24:45] yudi1: wagnerrp: can it be on a ntfs partition? or do I need one of the recommended XFS or JFS for this partition? I am setting up both backend and frontend on a laptop. so when I am home I can watch telly. My laptop internal drive is small, I do not want to fill it up.
[00:25:27] wagnerrp: if this is a permanent drive on that machine, it is recommended to use a linux-native file system
[00:26:44] yudi1: so u reckon xfs or jfs partition on external drive will be enough
[00:27:14] wagnerrp: assuming its not USB 1.1, should work fine
[00:27:25] yudi1: it runs on esata
[00:27:39] wagnerrp: laptop has an esata port?
[00:29:30] yudi1: usein a express card, I had this setup on vista Media center, worked like a charm. kept all the recordings on the external drive and even the temp buffer. I want to get the similar setup.
[00:29:47] wagnerrp: mythtv has no disk buffer
[00:30:31] yudi1: so everythin is recorded? that will chew up my drive very quickly!
[00:30:40] wagnerrp: how big is the drive?
[00:30:47] yudi1: 1tb
[00:30:54] wagnerrp: what are you recording?
[00:31:22] yudi1: telly shows, movies of the free to air tv
[00:31:48] wagnerrp: i mean... analog? digital?
[00:32:06] oneman (oneman!~oneman@99-13-251-153.lightspeed.dybhfl.sbcglobal.net) has joined #mythtv-users
[00:32:07] yudi1: digital – 2 tuners over usb
[00:32:24] wagnerrp: digital tuners... expect 150–200hrs of recordings on a 1TB drive
[00:32:50] wagnerrp: thats for HD, SD content will be much smaller than that
[00:34:29] oneman: If anyone is interested in helping alpha test the ability to control FiOS TV HD STB's over an IP network, please come to #fiostv, basic network, shell and package manager skills required. Time investment probably 3+ hours
[00:35:14] yudi1: I know, most of the shows I record, watch and delete, I have other data on the external drive, I am just tryin to figure out the best option here.
[00:36:13] wagnerrp: mythtv will auto-expire old recordings if you run out of room
[00:36:28] wagnerrp: and livetv expires within 24 hours, or when you run out of room, which ever is sooner
[00:37:45] yudi1: i am thinkin 500Gb of either xfs or Jfs on external drive and move /var/lib/mythtv/recordings to that partition. 24hrs expiry is good. thats fine. Do you think it will work
[00:37:50] sphery: oneman: oops, now I see it here :)
[00:38:06] sphery: #mythbuntu may be interested, too
[00:38:16] wagnerrp: i dont see why it wouldnt, ive only got ~900GB for recordings, and ive never run close to exceeding it

[00:45:12] JJ1 (JJ1!~jjensen@jeffjensen.dsl.visi.com) has joined #mythtv-users
[00:45:13] t0mless: I have a tv tuner card in my computer I got from a friend that is identified by windows 7 as ViXS PureTV-U 4899 (NTSC/ATSC Combo) and I'm curious how I should go about connecting it to my comcast cable to get mythtv to work.
[00:45:31] yudi1: I almost killed 1Tb in one weekend – sports, movies etc. 1Tb is not much for HDTV. I was using nouveau driver for my nvidia GPU but I read Robert Kulagowski @ mythtv installation guide that Playback of HDTV using VDPAU is recommended so I installed the restricted driver, now my lappy and external screen act funny, any window in my laptop screen extends in to external screen!!
[00:45:54] t0mless: We recently had to get this little cable box for our TV because of changes comcast has made to their cable feed
[00:46:19] t0mless: so I'm curious if I should go from the wall to my comp or from out of that box to the comp
[00:46:20] wagnerrp: VDPAU is only needed if your CPU is otherwise incapable of playing the content
[00:47:17] wagnerrp: you would need three digital tuners running non stop all weekend to fill up a 1TB drive
[00:47:36] wagnerrp: is that even supported?
[00:47:39] wagnerrp: !url tuners
[00:47:39] MythLogBot: tuners: http://www.linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/Hardwar . . . _Information
[00:48:31] wagnerrp: im guessing no

[00:50:42] nichos: hi all, im having problems with my hvr-2250. I just did a clean install ofubuntu, the firmware is loading (according to dmesg) but i can't change the dvb device number in myth
[00:50:43] yudi1: its only a C2D 1.8Ghz, mine has 2 tuners, vista supports 2 without any issues. I recorded a game for 3hrs and that went over 25 or 30GB.
[00:52:29] t0mless: so the PureTV-U 4899 is not a QAM card I'm guessing
[00:52:35] wagnerrp: ah, an aussie
[00:52:52] wagnerrp: those estimates were assuming ATSC, which physically cannot exceed around 8.7GB an hour
[00:53:00] wagnerrp: more likely 5–8GB/hr
[00:53:06] wagnerrp: DVB-T has a bit more headroom
[00:53:31] wagnerrp: and ive heard of bitrates in the mid-20s, which would be over 10GB/hr
[00:53:42] wagnerrp: t0mless: no, im saying its probably not supported under linux
[00:54:15] t0mless: What about windows?
[00:54:34] wagnerrp: wouldnt know, mythtv cannot record on windows machines
[00:54:38] wagnerrp: so the question is moot
[00:54:47] t0mless: oh really, I didn't know it couldn't record
[00:54:57] wagnerrp: mythtv is designed for linux
[00:55:16] wagnerrp: and while it has been ported to some other operating systems, namely POSIX compliant ones like the BSDs or OSX
[00:55:25] wagnerrp: the windows port is very limited
[00:55:56] t0mless: hmm
[00:56:10] wagnerrp: if youre not going to run linux, you should look elsewhere
[00:56:37] t0mless: I used to dual boot but I stopped when I upgraded to win 7
[00:56:39] wagnerrp: yudi1: a 1.8GHz C2D would have absolutely no problem on any mpeg2 content
[00:56:44] t0mless: since I hardly booted to linux
[00:56:51] wagnerrp: you may need to use VDPAU for some H264 content
[00:57:09] wagnerrp: if youre not going to dedicate hardware for mythtv, you should look elsewhere
[00:58:45] yudi1: yep an aussie, back to getting this prog runnin. First I installed mythtv and all its dependencies, clicked next, to all pop ups and did not record the password for SQL database. How can I get this?
[00:59:02] yudi1: what do you mean by dedicate hardware?
[00:59:44] wagnerrp: mythtv is designed to just sit there in the backend, and record programs according to the schedule
[00:59:54] wagnerrp: it expects that the hardware is its to do with as it pleases
[01:00:20] wagnerrp: and that its not going to have to contend with the user shutting it down manually, or booting into other operating systems, or using tuners outside of mythtv or....
[01:00:40] t0mless: what if I were to just run the backend in a VMWare box?
[01:01:00] t0mless: then use XBMC or something to play it?
[01:01:18] wagnerrp: that would only work for something like the HDHR, which myth connects to directly over the LAN
[01:01:52] t0mless: hmm
[01:01:54] t0mless: interesting
[01:02:01] t0mless: thanks for the info wagnerrp
[01:02:09] wagnerrp: not that im recommending ever running the backend in a virtual machine
[01:02:19] yudi1: oh, what will happen if it does not see the tuner or the recording directory? Vista used to just keep quiet, I want the same functionality. I looked for other alternatives, nothing interesting actually
[01:02:43] clever: the 'telnet' control protocol here has frozen up here, 'nc olddell 6546' just go nowhere
[01:02:58] wagnerrp: if mythbackend does not see a recording directory, it will ignore it and move onto the next
[01:03:09] clever: it usualy gives a small help message when i connect
[01:03:09] wagnerrp: if it cannot see any recording directories, it will record nothing
[01:04:25] yudi1: thats what I want. as long as it keeps quiet when I am away and starts working when I plug in all the cables I am happy.
[01:05:02] wagnerrp: it should handle recording directories on hotswappable media without skipping a beat

[01:05:26] wagnerrp: but i dont know how it would handle hotswappable tuners
[01:05:46] wagnerrp: maybe if you have it set to only open that device when it needs to record

[01:08:49] yudi1: thats a simple delete isn't it?
[01:09:09] clever: wagnerrp: any idea why mythfrontend would suddenly up and ignore all UI input durring playback?
[01:09:09] wagnerrp: what?
[01:10:07] yudi1: I mean the logs can be ignored. right?
[01:10:14] wagnerrp: clever: all UI and socket control? sounds like a deadlock
[01:10:28] wagnerrp: yudi1: yes, the logs can be ignored if youre not having any problems

[01:14:01] yudi1: tv is runnin.
[01:14:18] sphery: skd5aner: (Actually, though, I agree with your point--that those who just want a DVR that works are likely better served by cable-/satellite-co-provided DVRs)

[01:16:42] skd5aner: yea – I have to say, that while I understand all the drive towards simplification – anyone who's willing to run a DVR on linux is almost by definition a power user? I'm not sure how plug-and-play your audience really would expect it to be?
[01:16:43] clever: wagnerrp: i checked with xev, and its not a focus issue with the window manager, it is getting the keys

[01:19:15] sphery: skd5aner: yeah, and I think we will get the "extremely powerful, and usable, and cool, extensible, constantly evolving, and different"--but we're just going to get it with a lot less pain involved :)
[01:19:30] skd5aner: eh – I've decided to not go further down that path, I've got some opinions but I'll keep them to myself
[01:20:16] sphery: anyway, the embedded mysql helps devs at least as much (possibly far more) than it helps new users
[01:20:40] skd5aner: oh sure, I agree... sounds like a good move!
[01:20:40] sphery: so, regardless of the rest, I really think we need to go there
[01:20:59] sphery: and, a true power user can get the data using SQL if they like
[01:21:04] skd5aner: sorry, that's what I get for going down a tangent without even scrolling up to read more than a few lines of hte conversation :)
[01:21:24] skd5aner: no argument, I like the idea of embedded sql
[01:21:37] sphery: Yeah, I realize you're not arguing--I was just making a joke to start with
[01:21:59] skd5aner: hehe, I just know some people are a bit touchy on the subject
[01:22:13] skd5aner: and my opinion is worth... well, "a hill of beans" as my grandpa used to say

[01:22:53] wagnerrp: skd5aner: well i guess youll just have to use the python bindings for your manual manipulations in the future... ;)

[01:23:13] sphery: wagnerrp: heh, yeah--that's one of the non-SQL options users will have
[01:23:36] skd5aner: sphery: didn't even read any of the emails, so everything I'm talking about is completely out of context, hehe
[01:24:13] skd5aner: wagnerrp: it's pretty cool that is an option, truth be told
[01:24:38] skd5aner: wagnerrp: I'm pretty confident that is NOT an option with TWC's DVR option ;)
[01:24:44] wagnerrp: to be honest, i do use them for much of my tinkering these days
[01:24:47] sphery: "Surely I can't be the only one who uses phpmyadmin for all sorts of data management in mythtv — from managing channel lineup table changes, to changing metadata by hand, etc. I really appreciate the ability to access the mythconverg database via sql."
[01:25:01] sphery: Obviously one of those SQL experts I mentioned in my e-mail
[01:25:12] wagnerrp: manipulating a couple of objects is a lot easier than hand writing sql searches and updates
[01:25:13] skd5aner: "Excuse me, Time Warner Cable Customer Service? Yes, I'd like to know how I can leverage your python bindings to access details about my recordings?
[01:25:14] skd5aner: "
[01:25:26] sphery: one who completely groks SQL and, therefore, can never break data in the DB even though he has no clue about application data requirements
[01:26:03] skd5aner: alright, enough goofing around tonight for me, talk to you guys later
[01:26:05] sphery: and the fact that he's using phpmyadmin makes it even more clear that he's a true SQL guru
[01:26:33] wagnerrp: ive never actually installed phpmyadmin, i dont even know what exactly it does
[01:26:43] clever: one thing that should be done if you make a mysql 'shell' that taps into the embeded sql server, make it read-only by default
[01:26:52] clever: so you can query it all you want with no risk of breaking it
[01:32:15] kormoc: wagnerrp, sql kiddie level stuff, for me it's much faster to wrote UPDATE blah SET bleh WHERE blih = bloh; rather then click on the table, click on the set, click on bleh click on where click on blih, etc
[01:33:24] clever: just like your going to have to modify the sql client libs in mythfrontend to go thru the master backend, you could make a myth_mysql that acts like the normal mysql cli app
[01:34:42] wagnerrp: i suggested something like that a couple months back as a quick way to make the transition, so you could then go back through and start adding custom calls into mythproto at leisure
[01:35:43] clever: id think devs would also NEED myth_mysql to test schema updates manualy so they dont have to edit, compile, run&test, restore DB, repeat
[01:36:40] sphery: test?
[01:37:01] kormoc: sphery, return 0
[01:37:14] sphery: oh, that... How do you do that without compiling?
[01:37:31] wagnerrp: aggggh
[01:37:38] wagnerrp: still getting HDHR recording issues
[01:37:50] sphery: wagnerrp: the same ones from before?
[01:37:56] wagnerrp: yep
[01:37:59] clever: edit the schema manualy with myth_mysql and then just work on making it actualy use that schema, so you dont have to recompile (and bump the schema version) 5 times for each minor change
[01:38:00] kormoc: poke 0x0013 0x0001
[01:39:33] yudi1: how do I start the master backend manually?
[01:39:57] kormoc: mythbackend?

[01:54:41] yudi1: unable to connect to backend server
[01:55:04] yudi1: any suggestions.
[01:56:55] kormoc: run the setup program, setup up the backend and restart the backend?

[01:58:11] Rebecca: so, i have my frontend box and it's time for me to build a backend.. i might as well start with the capture devices. i want the capability to capture at least 3 DVB-T streams simultaneously.
[01:58:54] Rebecca: im just a bit daunted with the capture hardware wiki. so many choices!
[01:59:44] Rebecca: any suggestions for a cheap solution? im in a high signal area
[02:01:10] yudi1: run the setup program, setup up the backend and restart the backend?
[02:01:12] yudi1: aka, follow the documentation
[02:01:21] yudi1: does not work mate? any other suggestions
[02:02:38] kormoc: Sure does if things are setup properly

[02:04:09] wagnerrp: theres a handful of australian regulars around here, but most of the DVB users are currently sleeping in europe
[02:06:29] k-man: Rebecca: imho, get HDHomeruns, they are rock solid
[02:07:15] k-man: Rebecca: and have 2 tuners which you can do the virtual tuner thing with. i rarely find I need more than the 2 tuners, but then again i pretty much only record SBS and ABC
[02:07:36] k-man: Rebecca: which country are you in?
[02:07:42] wagnerrp: australia
[02:08:25] k-man: Rebecca: the HDHR is not cheap in upfront cost, but the long term total cost of ownership is lower imho, and it just works, for ever
[02:08:42] k-man: well.. .ever might be a bit long... but a lot longer than the PCI and usb tuners i have had in the past
[02:08:56] wagnerrp: (had to ask that when she asked.. most people are asking for ATSC advice this time of night)

[02:09:24] sphery: So, the Windows 7 commercials where they have a normal person describe how they thought up Windows 7 and they show their memory of the event and substitute a beautiful person for themselves were funny--until they started using beautiful people to say they thought of Windows 7 and they still replace them in the memory with other beautiful people
[02:09:38] sphery: ^^ might be slightly off topic
[02:10:00] wagnerrp: clearly you arent getting the hint that windows 7 makes you a beautiful person
[02:10:12] wagnerrp: only ugly people use macs
[02:10:38] sphery: oh, so now that everyone has upgraded to Win7, they've been using it long enough that they're already beautified... I see.

[02:23:17] Rebecca: wow, those HDHomeRuns arn't cheap. (and yeah, k-man did mention that). what advantage does it have over the USB HDTV turners i have heard some people use?
[02:23:41] sphery: it's not USB  :)
[02:23:59] k-man: Rebecca: i can only speak from my experience. with usb tuners, if there is any problem with the usb subsystem, you have to reboot to fix it
[02:24:01] kormoc: they're duel tuner
[02:24:15] k-man: that often happened to me with my previous usb tuner
[02:24:27] Rebecca: k-man: ahhhh, ok
[02:24:33] achew22: Rebecca: They are network addressable. They ALWAYS work. I've never had to reboot mine.
[02:24:34] sphery: dueling tuners... Ba da da dat dat dat da da...
[02:24:43] Rebecca: sphery: lol
[02:25:09] k-man: Rebecca: also i think the receiver is very good, i used to have lots of issues receiving good signal on all channels with the usb tuner and my PCI cards, it caused me constant headaches. don't have that problem with the HDHR either
[02:25:15] sphery: I agree with k-man, though--I dislike USB tuners for reliability's sake
[02:25:28] k-man: i agree with sphery
[02:25:32] sphery: that said, I've never used a USB tuner--though I have used USB other stuff

[02:26:17] k-man: Rebecca: my experience with hdhr, sit back and watch tv with my better half in peace and harmony
[02:26:58] achew22: thats not fair k-man, I had a bunch of PVR-{1,2}50's back in the day and they were so awesome.
[02:26:59] k-man: i must have also spent over $100 on parts like filters and amps trying to make the other tuners reliable
[02:27:43] k-man: achew22: i did qualify that that was my experience, i don't doubt other people have had good experiences with pci and with usb, but i have not, and i don't have the time to fiddle around and hope either
[02:28:07] ** Rebecca nods **
[02:28:29] k-man: ok, i'm getting off my "i love hdhr" horse now
[02:28:56] achew22: The issue I have with my HDHR is that it is hard to enter the channels in the first place with cable (as opposed to OTA)
[02:28:58] clever: i often found my usb harddrive enclosure would never work if it was plugged in at bootup
[02:29:00] k-man: btw, i only have one hdhr, my friend loved it so much, he bought a second one
[02:29:00] clever: id have to hard-reset it after booting before linux saw it
[02:29:19] k-man: achew22: ah, i don't do cable so i have not had that problem
[02:29:27] achew22: PITA
[02:29:43] achew22: but the scte65scan stuff makes it a lot better
[02:29:45] k-man: achew22: yeah, thats a bit sucky – why is that?
[02:30:16] achew22: you scan it one time then you go back through and enter the channels XMLTV id
[02:30:18] wagnerrp: scte65scan has nothing to do with the HDHR, nor is it at all useful in DVB countries

[02:31:00] wagnerrp: but it has nothing to do with the HDHR, it just so happens to support the HDHR
[02:31:12] achew22: true but we were talking about what I didn't like about my hdhr
[02:31:13] wagnerrp: and not the HDHR they would be using
[02:31:34] wagnerrp: your complaint has nothing to do with the HDHR, but with digital cable in north america in general
[02:31:43] k-man: hehe
[02:31:59] achew22: Very true. Digital cable is kind of sucky
[02:33:23] k-man: i'm not sure you can use the hdhr to receive cable tv here, but i could be wrong
[02:33:33] Rebecca: hmmm... very interesting info.. i admit im still tempted to buy a few usb ones simply because they might work and are cheap cheap, hehe
[02:33:36] wagnerrp: no, your HDHR is DVB-T only
[02:33:45] k-man: Rebecca: are you planning to only receive FTA tv? or you want to receive cable also?
[02:33:54] Rebecca: k-man: just FTA
[02:34:20] k-man: cable in AU is crap imho, the offering is too expensive with too little content
[02:34:48] achew22: cable sucks in America. cable sucks in AU, cable sucks in the EU lets just agree that we all hate television

[02:59:53] Beirdo: Terra is using the default
[03:00:13] Beirdo: and I extended the box at the bottom of the screen in the default to get it to fit...
[03:00:36] Beirdo: and now it's covering the flippin date bar at the bottom in Terra
[03:00:37] Beirdo: heh

[03:14:25] Beirdo: mythweather's been the bastard child locked in the basement for far too long
[03:18:04] rhollan: perhaps, but it suggests there is not a proper separation between data and presentation.
[03:18:21] Beirdo: bah
[03:18:28] rhollan: Not that that's easy to achieve as a retrofit.
[03:18:44] Beirdo: it's more like the presentation never got finished
[03:18:56] rhollan: or if a data schema changes. Then yes, all themes have to cope.
[03:19:10] Beirdo: well, there's part of that
[03:19:34] rhollan: Hey, how well do you grok ALSA?
[03:19:39] Beirdo: but the other part is incomplete theming for the plugin as not many devs used it or cared
[03:19:45] Beirdo: I don't do alsa
[03:19:47] Beirdo: :)
[03:19:54] Beirdo: others here do
[03:20:23] rhollan: Bummer, I guess it's time to read more then. I want to send default output to TWO devices: HDMI, and USB-based
[03:20:40] rhollan: So, if I am playing a CD, I don't have to have the TV on.
[03:21:23] k-man: alsa might be able to do that somehow.... or maybe pulseaudio, but i found pulseaudio was too unstable for me
[03:21:51] rhollan: I figured alsa should be configurable enough.
[03:22:23] k-man: rhollan: i know you can configure it for two programs to output via the one device, not sure if it can go the other way though
[03:23:22] rhollan: Right now, I DON'T use the mythtv box to control anything but the cable tuner: TV and preamp volume are controlled from the remote.
[03:24:02] rhollan: Since the mythtv box is between the internal and external firewalls, I didn't want it to be possible for a hacker who breaches the firewall to turn on my speakers full blast at 3:00 AM. LOL
[03:24:45] rhollan: Also, if the mythtv box dies, the TV and preamp can get source directly from the cable box (though, clearly DVD and recording playback would be down).
[03:25:09] rhollan: Usually, I route through the mythtv box but it is nice to have backups.

[06:05:18] sphery: achew22: make a normal recording rule for Futurama that is "New episodes only" (or a custom/power recording rule that's First Showings only) and give it +99 priority
[06:05:30] achew22: Okay
[06:05:56] sphery: achew22: then do a search for Futurama and find an episode that's not matched by the other rule (i.e. a rerun) and set it up as a any time on any channel rule for the title, and give it -50 priority
[06:06:03] sphery: i.e. 2 recording rules--one for each priority
[06:06:17] sphery: achew22: or, if you want to get fancy, create a Power Priority rule
[06:06:26] achew22: power priority rule?
[06:06:40] sphery: achew22: where the Power Priority allows you to adjust the priority of a match of any existing recording rule

[06:16:07] k-man: compleetly off topic but, i heard that this new 3D TV thing basically has to half the resolution of the video so they can effectively get 2 seperate images into the stream
[06:16:39] Beirdo: heh
[06:17:00] k-man: but i would have thought that there could be good compression between the two images because they are going to be very similar to each other...
[06:17:36] k-man: but maybe there is a reason they don't implement it that way? who knowS?
[06:21:07] k-man: i also heard that no manufacturers have really agreed on a way of transmitting these 3d images, so you might by a "3D" tv today and tomorrow they might all agree on a different standard and your TV won't be able to play them
[06:21:25] k-man: this info is all from the Tech Talk Radio podcast

[11:33:41] mzb: is there a way of scheduling the backend to restart?
[11:33:53] mzb: (when it's not busy, for eg)
[11:34:14] wagnerrp: not through mythtv, no
[11:34:29] wagnerrp: you could specify a system event to trigger when it goes idle
[11:34:35] mzb: I've been naughty (again) ;)
[11:34:38] wagnerrp: that removes itself from the database
[11:35:00] mzb: just realised that I had some storage groups wrong ... so I .. um ... changed them in the db
[11:35:08] ** mzb flogs himself raw **
[11:35:39] mzb: I can't run mythtv-setup because it would cause undue angst
[11:36:23] mzb: is it likely that the backend will eventually realise? :))) ... or should I do a proper restart and/or mythtv-setup?
[11:36:37] wagnerrp: dont know about that one
[11:36:44] wagnerrp: why cant you run mythtv-setup?
[11:36:57] mzb: she's recording+watching
[11:37:02] wagnerrp: so
[11:37:10] mzb: (her birthday tomorrow, so now is really not a good time;)
[11:37:34] wagnerrp: so you fix it in mythtv-setup now, and you restart the backend later
[11:38:00] mzb: err ... I thought that mythtv-setup required the backend to be stopped?
[11:38:28] wagnerrp: it requires the backend to be restarted before a number of the changes it makes will take effect
[11:38:41] wagnerrp: it will warn you if the backend is running when you start it
[11:38:56] wagnerrp: but it in no way requires the backend be stopped
[11:39:01] mzb: ah, ok ... thanks
[11:39:02] wagnerrp: ... unless youre running mythbuntu
[11:39:05] mzb: hehe
[11:39:07] mzb: no
[11:39:24] wagnerrp: which wraps mythtv-setup, and their wrapper issues the shutdown of the backend prior to it starting
[11:40:29] mzb: k
[11:40:47] mzb: done ... no changes made ... I'll keep an eye on it

[12:21:11] el_duerino: I own a dual core intel PC with somewhat 1–2 Ghz, 2G RAM and a older NVidia Device withut vdpau support
[12:21:40] wagnerrp: between 1 and 2GHz... theres a big performance range in there
[12:21:44] el_duerino: despite the fact, that HD will push one CPU around 80–100%, i think it should be possible to watch HD without stuttering
[12:22:19] el_duerino: PC is around two years old
[12:22:40] wagnerrp: so what is your processor?
[12:23:01] el_duerino: hmm, machine if off currently (no recordings running) and I am not at home
[12:23:17] el_duerino: I think it must be more like 1,5–2 GhZ
[12:23:18] wagnerrp: you dont know what the machine is?
[12:23:28] el_duerino: Not the processor speed
[12:23:33] el_duerino: (exactly)
[12:23:41] wagnerrp: but you dont know what the processor is either
[12:23:48] wagnerrp: intel has made several dual core lines
[12:24:16] el_duerino: arrr, I see; you need more detailled information, du you?
[12:24:32] wagnerrp: correct
[12:24:54] wagnerrp: theres a big difference from an old Core Duo running at 1GHz, and a Core2Duo running at 2GHz
[12:25:01] wagnerrp: considerably more than double the power
[12:25:03] el_duerino: Core2Duo
[12:25:20] wagnerrp: what is the content youre trying to decode?
[12:25:44] el_duerino: recordings from local channels (Das Erste HD, germany)
[12:25:54] wagnerrp: codec? bitrate?
[12:26:52] wagnerrp: basically, im trying to gage whether your processor should be capable of decoding the content without assistance
[12:27:11] wagnerrp: a 2GHz Core2 should be able to handle just about any HD mpeg2 you throw at it
[12:27:26] wagnerrp: 1.5GHz? youre getting a bit low for some high bitrate DVB-T content
[12:27:44] el_duerino: Well, its DVB-S2
[12:28:02] wagnerrp: if its h264, is it sliced or not?
[12:28:15] el_duerino: Sliced?
[12:28:19] wagnerrp: a 2GHz Core2 will probably handle around 10mbps per core of h264
[12:28:34] wagnerrp: if its just a single slice, it will only be able to use one core for decoding
[12:28:40] el_duerino: how can I find out these values?
[12:29:27] wagnerrp: start playback, open up `top`, press '1' to display a split view of each execution core
[12:29:43] el_duerino: ok
[12:29:48] wagnerrp: if youre running full load on one processor, and no load on the other, it is not content that can be multithreaded
[12:30:02] el_duerino: Yeah, that sounds logic
[12:30:15] el_duerino: which parameters can I toggle to improve playback? Just the deinterlacers?
[12:30:39] wagnerrp: deinterlacers should be run on a separate thread, so i doubt that would affect anything
[12:31:30] el_duerino: the only thing I realized was that playback runs a bit smoother when switch to "none" deinterlacer
[12:31:51] wagnerrp: what playback profile are you using?
[12:32:07] wagnerrp: if youre using anything but 'Slim', give that a try
[12:33:27] el_duerino: I tried several, without a difference (except switching off the deinterlacing)
[12:33:57] el_duerino: I think its currently "High"
[12:34:15] wagnerrp: what is 'High'?
[12:34:41] el_duerino: i'm not sure about ne real name; sounds like it was the opposite of your suggestion

[12:39:58] EvilGuru: el_duerino: My 2.4 Core 2 has trouble with some H.264
[12:40:21] el_duerino: ok, got the point
[12:41:47] el_duerino: I think I have to buy a new graphics card...
[12:42:04] wagnerrp: presumably your board has a PCIe slot
[12:42:15] wagnerrp: new graphics cards can be picked up pretty cheaply
[12:42:26] el_duerino: i just bought a tevii s470 PCIe
[12:42:28] wagnerrp: i think both of my 8400s were ~$30
[12:42:31] el_duerino: so its kinda full
[12:42:40] wagnerrp: replace your existing graphics card
[12:42:45] el_duerino: its onboard
[12:42:46] wagnerrp: unless its onboard graphics
[12:43:29] el_duerino: Dumb question: Are there dirrerent PCI-e Slot sizes?
[12:43:49] wagnerrp: yes, x1, x2, x4, x8, and x16
[12:43:54] el_duerino: between two PCI and one (2cm long) PCIe slot there is another one
[12:43:57] wagnerrp: x2 is fairly uncommon
[12:44:09] el_duerino: x2 is the short one?
[12:44:16] wagnerrp: and supposedly you can have x32, but ive never actually seen one
[12:44:20] wagnerrp: x1 is the short one
[12:44:38] el_duerino: which one is used by the nvidia cards?
[12:44:41] wagnerrp: there should be a notch in the center
[12:44:50] EvilGuru: Usually you will only see x1 and x16
[12:44:55] wagnerrp: forward of the notch is command connections, all PCIe slots have that same thing
[12:45:03] EvilGuru: Although electrically, for the x16, anything goes
[12:45:20] wagnerrp: behind the notch (the smaller side on an x1, larger on x16) are the data channels
[12:45:36] wagnerrp: youll have between 1–16 on a slot, and the slot will be larger or smaller accordingly
[12:45:52] wagnerrp: x1 and x16 are very common
[12:45:59] wagnerrp: x4 is somewhat common on higher end boards
[12:46:08] wagnerrp: and x8 are common on servers and workstations
[12:46:22] gigem_ (gigem_!~david@160.86.12.137) has joined #mythtv-users
[12:46:23] wagnerrp: graphics cards are usually x16
[12:46:33] el_duerino: cool, that may fit
[12:46:41] wagnerrp: but any PCIe card will use any PCIe slot that it can physically fit into
[12:47:13] el_duerino: you mean, I can also stick the DVB-S2 card in the larger slot (without a hammer)?

[16:21:33] wagnerrp: someone would need to split them out and spruce them up
[16:21:33] johnnyj: oh- yeah – i guess they would
[16:21:55] wagnerrp: thats basically how the perl bindings came into being, split off of nuvexport
[16:22:15] johnnyj: and then python just to spite me
[16:22:20] johnnyj: right? right?
[16:22:41] justinh: who in their right mind would use php for anything but web stuff?
[16:22:41] wagnerrp: i dont know why they would spite you
[16:23:14] justinh: hmm prolly the same reason they might use perl or bash script to do real jobs best left to proper code...
[16:23:23] johnnyj: justinh – my last job was a dev firm that had a php product and they used php cli everywhere
[16:23:29] justinh: heh
[16:23:34] justinh: takes all sorts
[16:24:00] wagnerrp: i can understand php cli if youre using it for background stuff on a php-based website
[16:24:15] johnnyj: they had it in the init.d scripts

[16:31:45] justinh: there's pulseaudio... and ALSA.. and it seems.. nothing inbetween
[16:32:45] justinh: wish linux audio could be a little more like ASIO.. configuring that is pretty easy

[16:33:53] justinh: heh I always thought audio was at the root of all the problems I had with xvmc

[16:34:26] dustybin: i have installed easystroke on my joggler, when i launch mythfrontend, the terminal says: gesture: left gesture: right etc, however, mythtv doesnt do anything, how can i make mythtv use gestures?
[16:35:36] iamlindoro: Myth's gesture support is not hooked up to anything
[16:35:52] iamlindoro: if you want to use some gesture support, it will need to all be third party tools that emulate keystrokes

[16:36:44] dustybin: iamlindoro: i have installed easystroke, that emulates keystrokes
[16:36:46] iamlindoro: it's just biding its time
[16:36:57] Beirdo: iamlindoro: hmmm, good point
[16:36:58] iamlindoro: dustybin: then you should configure it and get support from the easystroke people

[16:37:10] Beirdo: the HDPVR is supposed to arrive today, BTW
[16:37:28] justinh: dustybin: another loon wanting to run mythfrontend on that inadequate hardware had to resort to making a flash-based actionscript overlay for mythfrontend. Not nice
[16:37:56] Beirdo: so I planned to work from home, and then I wake up with a splitting headache... bah
[16:37:56] justinh: time that'd be better spent improving mouse/touchscreen support in mythtv IMHO
[16:38:23] dustybin: justinh: i had tv running on my joggler for 2 hours, no problems at all
[16:38:31] justinh: especially now the OSD is mythui'd

[16:40:09] Beirdo: and don't forget to make curry with the goat after. yum

[17:33:22] wagnerrp: just have a list of some 60 or so files to download

[18:06:13] DarthFrog: Oh, I realise that.
[18:06:31] DarthFrog: And the standard question, what did you change?  :-)
[18:06:38] iamlindoro: because the fact that the playback attempts to spawn a shell alone is enough to be sure that the frontend in question does not have default settings
[18:07:06] iamlindoro: as default settings are the internal player for which no shell spawning is necessary
[18:07:19] justinh: unless he's got the Israeli edition of mythbuntu with all that lovely sudo shell stuff hard-coded in :)

[19:45:16] justinh: wow that's funny. streaming works here. must've configured mythweb correctly or something
[19:45:27] PeaceKeeper: fixed :D chmod 775 /home/mythtv fixed my streaming
[19:45:57] PeaceKeeper: justinh: Sorry I was typing that the sametime you replied.
[19:46:34] PeaceKeeper: It even streams my hd-pvr recording decent
[19:47:46] justinh: well it will, but is dependent on your backend's cpu being able to transcode content fast enough
[19:48:32] justinh: I had my athlon 800 machine at a linux expo serving to 3 frontends and flash streaming a few years back. only SDTV mind
[19:50:33] justinh: that show was a laugh... well at least the social part of it.. emptying the bar of Jack Daniels. Ahh those were the days
[19:51:13] PeaceKeeper: Can i change the aspect of flowplayer to 16:9. I see I can change the width, but it still seems 4:3
[19:52:20] justinh: I just had a 16:9 show in 16:9 here
[19:52:46] PeaceKeeper: humm maybe this was not 16:9 let me try another. thx

[20:07:11] justinh: if you're in the US or canada it'll be mpeg2
[20:07:29] justinh: anywhere else it's likely to be h.264 – then you're looking at 2.4Ghz dual core
[20:07:37] justinh: as a minimum... ish

[20:21:34] sphery: i.e. go with a MythTV distro--there's absolutely no benefit to starting with a different distro (say, Ubuntu) and just adding MythTV to it (to get, what in the end turns out to be just a badly-configured Mythbuntu)

[20:29:58] justinh: meh
[20:30:01] justinh: 43 pages?!
[20:30:17] EvilGuru: Although I consider his final scores questional (same gen cards with same drivers getting different scores)
[20:30:45] wagnerrp: they are using a monitor that supports 42-bit color
[20:30:57] wagnerrp: for a card that supports 24-bit color
[20:31:06] wagnerrp: and a compressed video stream that supports 12-bit color
[20:31:25] wagnerrp: thats right folks! all of your recordings and optical media is only 12-bit
[20:31:35] EvilGuru: wagnerrp: Kind of, it does make a difference
[20:32:00] justinh: heh. CD is only 14 bit
[20:32:08] EvilGuru: As sure you've only got a 24-bit range, but how that range maps to actual colours on screen is important
[20:32:11] wagnerrp: not 16-bit?
[20:32:21] EvilGuru: justinh: CD is 16, Sony won that one, IIRC
[20:32:42] justinh: sure I read a techy paper back in the day that said it was basically 14 bit
[20:32:47] EvilGuru: sRGB and Adobe 1998 will have different mappings from a 24-bit input, so having a 14-bit LUT is important for reproduction
[20:33:22] justinh: ahh we're both right
[20:33:23] wagnerrp: huh? you can set your extents to whatever you want
[20:33:38] justinh: phillips initially used eight to fourteen modulation
[20:33:50] wagnerrp: 24-bit color make no difference to the range, only the variability within that range
[20:34:07] EvilGuru: wagnerrp: Right. But that range needs to be mapped to intensities inside the monitor
[20:34:10] wagnerrp: you can certainly get full sRGB/Adobe'98 color space out of a 24-bit output
[20:34:33] EvilGuru: So if you want a monitor to be able to reproduce sRGB/Adobe it needs to work with a range > 24-bits
[20:34:37] wagnerrp: and you can do it with 24-bit internal color handling as well
[20:34:41] EvilGuru: At least, internally
[20:34:47] wagnerrp: i dont see why
[20:34:51] justinh: EvilGuru: point being, all these 'guru' sites peddle inane amounts of BS
[20:34:59] justinh: and all to placate 'philes'

[20:37:58] EvilGuru: wagnerrp: Colour spaces map values to wavelengths. Since sRGB and Adobe are different mappings from [0,255] => wavelengths you have # wavelengths > 256 hence need to work with a range > 256 internally
[20:39:08] wagnerrp: still not understanding why
[20:39:21] wagnerrp: your colorspace or gamut is just your output range
[20:39:26] bwallen: would an nvidia ion play mpeg2 hd?
[20:39:42] wagnerrp: you could have 2-bit color, and still encompass the entire range
[20:39:43] justinh: point being, people have more interesting things to do with their lives than read 43 page 'reports' :D
[20:39:58] EvilGuru: wagnerrp: Right, but sRGB and Adobe have different physical ranges
[20:40:08] justinh: though I'd still rather do that than watch a 3 hour film
[20:40:43] wagnerrp: yes, and all you have to do is make your display capable of the extents of those ranges, and your golden
[20:40:55] wagnerrp: it makes no difference how many points you can hit within that range
[20:41:09] EvilGuru: wagnerrp: Precisely. And to support both the crystals need to have more than 256 possible states
[20:41:12] wagnerrp: thats your color resolution, and it has no bearing on your range
[20:41:22] wagnerrp: yeah... i dont see why

[20:42:04] EvilGuru: wagnerrp: The greenest green in the Adobe space is 'greener' than that in sRGB
[20:42:21] wagnerrp: uh huh, so you set that as your peak green value, and youre done
[20:42:35] EvilGuru: then you'd fail to support sRGB
[20:42:47] wagnerrp: you support more than sRGB
[20:42:57] wagnerrp: you have enveloped sRGB
[20:43:08] EvilGuru: which is bad, as that is not sRGB
[20:43:11] Beirdo: need blank cd! dangit
[20:43:17] dustybin: the frontend works on the joggler, but there are quite a few random pauses, i think thats due to overheating
[20:43:30] EvilGuru: when selecting a colour space you need to hit it perfectly for it to be meaningful
[20:43:33] ** J-e-f-f-A drops a blank cd in the mail for Bierdo. **
[20:43:34] wagnerrp: oh, so you are specifically looking for a monitor that has a button to let you flip between different exact color spaces
[20:43:40] EvilGuru: yeah
[20:43:43] Beirdo: hehe
[20:43:46] EvilGuru: most of the higher ends ones allow you to do so
[20:43:49] wagnerrp: see, now thats completely different
[20:44:04] EvilGuru: which is why internally the monitor needs to work with a 10- or 14-bit LUT
[20:45:16] wagnerrp: they actually need a look-up-table?
[20:45:35] wagnerrp: you cant just define a simple curve-fit to describe the response of the crystals?
[20:45:37] justinh: yeah so they can do all the stupid colour mangling they do
[20:46:17] EvilGuru: wagnerrp: Since it is only a few values a LUT is probably quicker/cheaper
[20:46:21] J-e-f-f-A: I'm guessing they need a LUT since the light output is probably not linear.

[20:48:30] wagnerrp: 2 seconds later, and you dont have to diddle around with the excessive bit scales

[21:17:08] wagnerrp: hmm... seems when i strip out the debug symbols, its only 43M
[21:17:23] wagnerrp: but still, thats FAR more than the 8MB for the entire system monowall gives you
[21:17:38] Beirdo: yeah
[21:18:13] wagnerrp: 8171? not heard of that model
