[07:37:04] dougt_: i just pulled the tip and am seeing "Unable to initialize plugin". could this be related to stuartm's recent change?
[07:37:29] dougt_: (basically no plugins work atm with a clean rebuilding for me)
[07:38:18] justinh: pulled the tip?
[07:38:41] cesman: sounds like mercurial talk

[07:39:10] rhollan is now known as rhollanZZZ
[07:39:26] dougt_: justinh: the most recent changeset on the main branch
[07:39:28] dougt_: 25178
[07:39:39] justinh: not trunk?
[07:40:17] dougt_: justinh: right. the trunk.
[07:40:24] dougt_: main branch is the trunk
[07:40:29] justinh: unable to initialise plugin type stuff is generally due to version incompatibilities
[07:40:36] dougt_: right
[07:40:52] dougt_: distclean, reconfigured.
[07:41:10] justinh: so.. you've done a trunk checkout of everything? built mythtv? then built then plugins after installing the last build of mythtv?
[07:41:39] justinh: mythtv with plugins from trunk goes like this: build & install mythtv. build & install mythplugins
[07:41:41] dougt_: cleanly build mythtv. installed.
[07:41:51] dougt_: cleanly build mythplugin. installed
[07:41:57] justinh: how cleanly?
[07:42:03] dougt_: then ran mythfrontend -v important
[07:42:08] justinh: sometimes things need a distclean
[07:42:10] dougt_: make distclean
[07:42:30] justinh: dunno then. this calls for someone more experienced than me :)
[07:42:41] dougt_: let me add some printfs.... bbiab
[07:43:03] justinh: unless you were just unlucky & caught trunk at a time when plugins were broken... unlikely though
[07:44:04] justinh: er.. I think mythfrontend should say what API versions it expects from plugins & whatnot
[07:44:13] justinh: should say what it expects & what it sees

[08:49:37] Graham: I have a question, is using MythTV to digitize VHS to digital format even in the correct ball park or should I use soething different? I have several hundred VHS tapes that I would like to make digital before they degrade. I would like it to be really easy so that even my mom could do it?
[08:50:55] Beirdo: it can be done, but may not necessarily be the easiest way
[08:51:35] Graham: Do you have any recommendations you can put me in?
[08:52:19] Beirdo: PVR-250/150 may be easier
[08:52:34] Beirdo: and using cat /dev/video0 > file.mpg
[08:52:41] Beirdo: but there are many ways :)
[08:52:53] Beirdo: and I'm pretty tired
[08:52:53] Beirdo: heh
[08:53:01] Graham: LOL no worries
[08:53:50] Graham: I was hoping to even get to the point where you could use the IR blaster on your VHS, so you just hit record on the PVR, it starts the tape, begins recording
[08:53:53] justinh: if you can borrow a DV camcorder which has video in – VHS > firewire... other video capture app
[08:53:57] Graham: Not sure how you would get it to stop?
[08:54:04] justinh: blah
[08:54:07] justinh: mythtv isn't for that
[08:54:13] justinh: not designed for it
[08:54:23] Graham: Yeah ok, like I said I have 600 or so VHS tapes I would like to do this to
[08:54:32] justinh: what what?!
[08:54:37] Beirdo: it can do it with the use of manual recording if you have to
[08:54:39] justinh: 600x 3 hours!
[08:54:54] Graham: Mostly old home videos, training stuff from work you can't get in DVD
[08:55:00] Beirdo: heh
[08:55:01] Beirdo: wow
[08:55:02] justinh: not to mention transcoding time. yeesh
[08:55:21] Graham: er 300 actualy I think
[08:55:26] justinh: still...
[08:55:39] Beirdo: yeah, a DV or Digi8 camcorder may still be a good idea
[08:55:46] justinh: IS a good idea
[08:55:52] justinh: least lossy
[08:55:53] Beirdo: video/audio in... firewire out
[08:56:15] AndyCap: Graham: a pvr-150 is probably the easiest solution. but depends on how much time you plan to spend on postprocessing this.
[08:56:17] Beirdo: although the codecs in use are horribly large files...
[08:56:28] justinh: I've digitized a good amount (not hundreds) of VHS tapes with a DV camcorder
[08:56:42] Beirdo: if making DVDs, PVR-x50 is not too bad, really
[08:56:56] Beirdo: just need to re-mux the MPG file and put on DVD
[08:57:09] justinh: I wouldn't trust DVD for long-term storage as far as I could throw one
[08:57:22] Beirdo: assuming you capture in DVD-compliant resolutions, that is
[08:57:31] Graham: My setup has dual PVR-150
[08:57:49] justinh: well then, press play, cat /dev/videoX > file...
[08:57:56] Graham: I am not terrably intersted in putting them on DVD, I will store them on my NAS
[08:58:06] justinh: you could set up a script to IR blast the VHS machine
[08:58:20] Beirdo: but yah, for that quantiy of video, the DV/Digi8 camcorder is still the best over all for simplicity
[08:58:30] justinh: now all you need is a robot to load the tapes for ya :D
[08:58:54] justinh: use python. import VHSloading_robot
[08:58:54] Graham: Simple is good, so I can get the secretary to change the tapes LOL
[08:59:25] justinh: mythtv is too inflexible to allow you to make an easy job of this task
[08:59:26] Graham: LOL I am sure there is a python script for that :D
[08:59:44] Graham: Write my own plugin for MythTV?
[08:59:47] justinh: well it's very flexible.. for TV..
[09:01:10] Graham: What do you all think about using VLC for playing back videos? I have a bunch of .m2ts videos off of some sort of Handy Cam from my brother that I found the internal player did not like all that much. VLC seems much quicker. The internal one was choppy campired to it
[09:02:41] superdump (superdump!~rob@unaffiliated/superdump) has joined #mythtv-users
[09:07:04] justinh: I think VLC looks like ass :)

[09:08:42] justinh: these handicam things are pointless anyway IMHO – 1080P video from a lens which is what.. 4 millimetres across? LOL
[09:08:56] Graham: He is a big time softball palyer and I found that if you are focused on home plate and then pan the camera quickly to follow a fly ball it was unacceptably choppy
[09:09:21] Graham: justinh just like point and shoot digital cameras that are 12MP
[09:09:22] Graham: ;)
[09:09:27] justinh: yeahh sounds like it's bitrate related
[09:09:42] justinh: Graham: yeah only with video :)
[09:10:06] justinh: that's why I bought a 'proper' camcorder as opposed to one of those pocket toys
[09:10:15] justinh: well that & rolling shutter artifacts
[09:10:58] justinh: whee look at that vertical line turn diagonal when I move the camera!
[09:11:00] Graham: Yeah I am a computer nerd not a video nerd LOL all greek to me.
[09:11:30] justinh: rolling shutter is a phenomenon caused by images coming from the sensor at a rate slower than the video frame rate
[09:11:43] Graham: So your CCD is crappy?
[09:12:34] justinh: heh no, those pocket cams all use CMOS
[09:12:48] Graham: Ahhhh

[13:30:38] justinh: paid-for spectrum you mean
[13:30:53] justinh: and not as big a waste as the shopping channels are :)
[13:31:12] justinh: and soon thanks to TUTV, more pay channels are on their way
[13:32:03] justinh: still no word on who will be buying the space left by analogue TV. I doubt it'll be more TV services coming
[13:32:08] EvilGuru: I still find it ironic that freeview plans to have 5 HD channels by 2013 while sky plans to have 50
[13:32:19] justinh: what's ironic about it?
[13:32:42] justinh: of everything Sky carry, more than 90% of everything watched is on freeview anyway
[13:32:56] justinh: more choice != better

[13:42:24] justinh: no it doesn't
[13:42:34] justinh: they did exactly the same with freesat
[13:42:42] justinh: and its EIT data is working
[13:42:48] ** EvilGuru seems to have misunderstood the purpose behind it **
[13:43:00] justinh: obsfurcating the EPG data
[13:43:03] justinh: that's all
[13:43:22] justinh: slightly encrypted & they only tell partners how to uncripple it
[13:43:25] EvilGuru: So does free software get any access to it (is the data encrypted?)
[13:43:55] justinh: freesat EPG data is also encrypted
[13:44:03] justinh: and works in mythtv already
[13:44:17] justinh: looks likely to be the same thing they'll do with freeview HD
[13:44:52] justinh: besides, it's not going to stop any computer recording or playing the streams
[13:45:17] justinh: it's probably only to placate copyright holders
[13:45:49] justinh: unless they were to bring in CI+ (which is unlikely cos it's way too late for that now) there's nothing they can do
[13:46:14] EvilGuru: justinh: Okay, so the encryption is worthless
[13:46:31] justinh: so the beeb were caught in the middle. do a tiddling little thing which won't really affect anybody but those looking to sell hardware but will keep copyright holders happy
[13:46:53] EvilGuru: Long live dumb meeja execs I guess
[13:47:04] justinh: the open rights group were way off the mark IMHO
[13:47:14] justinh: they generally are anyway
[13:48:18] justinh: right-minded people generally don't mind *paying* for things.. but a few of us have concerns about how people are trying to conrol how we access stuff we pay for to an unreasonable degree
[13:49:18] EvilGuru: I just take objection with the use of DRM for everything nowadays
[13:49:21] justinh: the media press and to an extent the IT press have done us a favour too by not stating the facts about the EIT scrambling – which in turn led the ORG to fly off the handle
[13:49:42] justinh: welcome to the digital future
[13:50:00] justinh: put your movie mogul evil hat on for a sec
[13:50:06] justinh: think – how can you make more money?
[13:50:24] justinh: sell people discs full of content.. and make them pay to use it every single time? OH YES!
[13:50:25] EvilGuru: By getting me to buy the same thing several times over for every device I own
[13:50:45] justinh: say to them they can only use the content when *I* say so? OH YES!

[14:08:20] lyricnz: Do you guys know of some app that can monitor the "loudness" of programs, like in a graph or something? I'm complaining to my local broadcaster about the "so loud it hurts" advertisements, and some analytical data would be useful.
[14:09:11] justinh: hmmm
[14:09:22] justinh: you'd be looking for the dynamic range of content..
[14:09:44] justinh: the ads prolly won't actually be a higher level as such
[14:09:52] lyricnz: I'm sure the peaks are probably the same, but the average/sound energy is SO much higher for advertisements, I literally have to jump on the mute
[14:10:10] lyricnz: It hurts my hearing, even if I've got the program at a level I can only just hear it
[14:10:15] justinh: they're engineered to stand out. some countries have legislation specifying how far they can go
[14:10:53] lyricnz: We do here – but I can't believe they're obeying it. It's SO much louder!
[14:10:54] lyricnz: http://www.freetv.com.au/Content_Common/pg-Lo . . . isements.seo
[14:10:55] EvilGuru: I think Dolby have something similar to replaygain but for broadcast tv
[14:11:31] EvilGuru: no idea if mythcommflag looks at the average volume for ad detection, might work
[14:11:56] justinh: lyricnz: broadcasters sometimes fail too. here we had one channel where the ads really were louder than the programme content
[14:12:04] justinh: no it doesn't
[14:12:11] lyricnz: yeah, I'd like to get some data.
[14:12:22] justinh: it's oft been discussed by people who don't understand the mechanics of sound ;)
[14:12:56] justinh: ads are often compressed/limited to the hilt.. and nowadays with budget cuts so is programming
[14:13:27] justinh: sound engineers ride the faders & let the processors deal with everything
[14:13:41] lyricnz: I call bullshit on that blaming it on technical artifacts – the advertisers are doing it deliberately, and the tv stations are letting them
[14:13:43] wagnerrp: lyricnz: why are you watching ads?

[14:14:59] justinh: shout at the broadcaster
[14:15:18] justinh: the ads are prolly at a normal level for broadcast but the programming isn't

[14:15:55] justinh: I contacted a radio station to tell them their DAB output was clipping once
[14:16:16] justinh: they were like "no it can't be it's digital" so I sent them a snippet
[14:16:25] justinh: and a BMP of the waveform :D
[14:16:55] lyricnz: What linux tools to make this kind of analysis?
[14:16:59] justinh: even Audacity would show up a massive difference like you're talking about
[14:17:08] justinh: with its Fisher Price waveform view
[14:17:40] justinh: if program content is so low you actually have to turn it up to a level where ads are properly deafening.. there's a BIG problem
[14:17:46] justinh: and it's not that the ads are too loud
[14:18:03] lyricnz: Other channels at the same time were much louder
[14:18:14] lyricnz: So I'm sure the program was quiet too
[14:18:18] justinh: ahh here we go. England game on ITV1.. I can hear the audio & the commentary is making the background audio 'pump'
[14:18:44] EvilGuru: I can remember the first time CDs started showing that artefact
[14:19:12] justinh: nah if you can hear pumping or 'breathing' it's a fault of the mastering
[14:19:12] EvilGuru: You'd hear a snare and everything else would go quiet for a couple of seconds

[15:01:08] lyricnz: I don't know how to find out low level stuff in the stream, 'cause it's not a real mpeg, right?
[15:01:17] justinh: shouldn't matter
[15:01:31] justinh: if it's a format ffmpeg can handle it'll just spit out the audio
[15:01:38] lyricnz: Yeah, I'm using nuvexport/ffmpeg to extract it as a mp3 now – just thinking that it's lossy, and might affect my data
[15:01:42] justinh: nah
[15:01:57] justinh: you're looking at absolute level going by what you said
[15:02:14] justinh: or average level at least. lossy compression won't do much to that rest assured
[15:03:28] lyricnz: Cool, ffmpeg -i filename tells me what all the streams are.

[18:36:33] hal-emmerich: Hey, how's it going everyone?
[18:38:43] hal-emmerich: Would anyone mind gaging a setup and difficulty of configuration if I list off spec's? I'm somewhat inexperienced with Linux (I was able to get a MythTV box up before with LIRC), and I'm working on a full featured MythTV box with Tv-in/out. I'm just wondering if I'm getting over my head though
[18:39:30] hal-emmerich: *guaging
[18:39:43] wagnerrp: go for it, someone may respond eventually
[18:39:52] wagnerrp: just dont paste a bunch of crap in here
[18:39:56] hal-emmerich: Right
[18:40:07] hal-emmerich: Fortunately I have more IRC Etiquette than I do Linux skills :)
[18:40:23] wagnerrp: both are frequently lacking in here
[18:40:54] hal-emmerich: Anyways. The setup is a P4 2.5 ghz box with 512 mb ddr memory and a (gasp) Ati Rage 128 All In Wonder (The 32 mb 'mortgage your house' edition when it was new)
[18:40:57] justinh: not sure a spec sheet has much bearing on how difficult stuff is to configure
[18:41:15] justinh: hal-emmerich: ouch. stop right there. the AIW card is bin fodder already :)
[18:41:16] wagnerrp: difficulty: high...
[18:41:27] wagnerrp: ... to impossible
[18:41:30] justinh: no V4L compliant drivers...
[18:41:40] justinh: so uhh... working with that in mythtv ain't going to happen
[18:41:50] wagnerrp: s/mythtv/linux/
[18:41:50] hal-emmerich: I thought it could be made to work through GATOS?
[18:42:04] justinh: maybe, but GATOS != V4L if I remember right
[18:42:27] wagnerrp: if you want to do analog capture, you would be well advised to pick up an old PVR-150 off ebay for ~$20
[18:42:33] justinh: you'll save yourself a whole month of headaches by ditcjing the AIW card. Honestly
[18:42:51] justinh: forget you have it – for both input and output
[18:42:52] RobertLaptop (RobertLaptop!~RobertLap@pool-173-69-205-54.bltmmd.fios.verizon.net) has joined #mythtv-users
[18:43:06] wagnerrp: yeah, and a cheapo AGP card for output
[18:43:17] wagnerrp: preferably nvidia
[18:43:30] hal-emmerich: Ok, well the alternative is an ATI Rage 2000Expert that I have kicking around unfortunately
[18:43:31] wagnerrp: 6200AGPs are fairly cheap to come by
[18:43:45] hal-emmerich: Which I'd think would be worse
[18:43:49] justinh: yeha tvout support on ATI cards is very patchy in places – mostly at the older end
[18:44:32] justinh: hal-emmerich: well, if you wanna do mythtv you need a couple of new cards. a tuner card and a VGA card. Sorry & all that
[18:44:52] wagnerrp: if you ever intend to do HD, you should crap the whole machine
[18:45:01] hal-emmerich: Nah, HD isn't a priority
[18:45:13] hal-emmerich: I don't have a HD TV, so why would I need HD?
[18:45:24] wagnerrp: because all the broadcasts are digital
[18:45:30] wagnerrp: and with digital, you dont get a choice
[18:45:32] justinh: you can't even do SDTV with those ATI cards :)
[18:45:41] wagnerrp: you get whatever resolution/bandwidth the broadcaster gives you
[18:45:52] justinh: not in linux.. and you'd even be lucky to get em working in windows too
[18:46:01] wagnerrp: actually... canada doesnt switch entirely for another couple years do they?
[18:46:18] hal-emmerich: Bingo
[18:46:33] hal-emmerich: We don't switch until 2012
[18:46:43] hal-emmerich: By which point I will have the finances to actually spend money on this :P
[18:46:46] justinh: the fact of the matter doesn't change. you ain't doing anything mythtv related with that hardware
[18:46:55] wagnerrp: and the world will be ending anyway, so it doesnt matter
[18:47:19] wagnerrp: go check out the bargin bins at the local computer store
[18:47:31] wagnerrp: for a video card, youre looking for anything nvidia, 5-series or newer
[18:47:45] hal-emmerich: anyways yeah, the board only has a capacity of up to AGP 4x. I know a few places I could probably get a nvidia card like that though
[18:47:49] wagnerrp: the motherboard youre using doesnt come with integrated intel graphics does it?
[18:48:01] hal-emmerich: It does, actually
[18:48:01] EvilGuru: wagnerrp: You really want 6, longer support from the nvidia-drivers
[18:48:16] justinh: they dropped 5xxx support? heh
[18:48:20] wagnerrp: EvilGuru: the 5-series are not currently supported?
[18:48:24] wagnerrp: when did that happen?
[18:48:31] EvilGuru: wagnerrp: Not by the newest drivers, IIRC
[18:48:41] justinh: guess they had to sooner or later. ATI have been known to stop supporting cards from 6 months ago ;)
[18:49:00] justinh: slight exaggeration no doubt
[18:49:09] wagnerrp: arent 8x cards backwards compatible with 4x boards?
[18:49:22] wagnerrp: i remember for some time, they used to call them 4x/8x boards
[18:49:22] EvilGuru: http://www.nvidia.com/object/IO_32667.html legacy
[18:49:23] justinh: IIRC they are
[18:49:44] justinh: it's 2x & >= 4x you can't mingle I think
[18:50:00] justinh: different voltages & whatnot IIRC

[18:50:43] wagnerrp: s/pinning/keying/
[18:51:06] justinh: anyway you're looking at laying out a little money. that AiW stuff was revolutionary in its day
[18:51:12] justinh: sometimes it even worked!
[18:51:34] wagnerrp: heh.... i scrapped one of those 5yrs ago during a computer recycling drive
[18:52:01] justinh: I held onto my AiW Pro for quite some time after I stopped trying to make it work
[18:52:41] wagnerrp: the tv-out stopped working, and it just wasnt worth keeping any longer
[18:53:04] ** EvilGuru remembers trying to do the VGA hack for an ATI card **
[18:53:15] wagnerrp: vga hack?
[18:53:20] pjcrux: hello all quick question for you. My mythtv on Fedora 12 will not start on a reboot. I have done "/sbin/chkconfig mythbackend on" and this used to work but not anymore even a "service mythbackend start" failes see this http://mythtv.pastebin.com/z8FZ2CNm any thoughts? did something change and I'm not seeing it in the wiki?
[18:53:59] wagnerrp: looks like your init script is broken
[18:54:04] justinh: pjcrux: the init/upstart script is hosed
[18:54:17] pjcrux: greaaaattt
[18:54:17] wagnerrp: upstart is an ubuntu thing
[18:54:20] justinh: how that happened is er... incredible
[18:54:28] justinh: heh really? didn't know that
[18:54:48] pjcrux: justinh: wagnerrp where is that located?
[18:55:01] justinh: so everybody else basically just uses good ole init?
[18:55:06] wagnerrp: MORE DISTROS EXIST THAN UBUNTU, JUSTINH!!!1!11!!!!one!!!
[18:55:22] hal-emmerich: ok
[18:55:23] wagnerrp: pjcrux: no idea.... dont use fedora
[18:55:31] justinh: me no idea either
[18:55:35] hal-emmerich: So Assuming I invested in a BFG GEforce 6200
[18:55:36] justinh: somewhere in /etc
[18:55:41] hal-emmerich: which is evidentally almost $80.00
[18:55:49] hal-emmerich: Is this machine worthwhile?
[18:55:52] wagnerrp: then you would have been ripped off
[18:55:53] justinh: hal-emmerich: ebay :)
[18:56:10] wagnerrp: i wouldnt pay more than $10-$15 for that card
[18:56:16] pjcrux: possibly /etc/rd.d/init.d/mythbackend ?
[18:56:17] hal-emmerich: lol
[18:56:24] hal-emmerich: But would the machine work though?
[18:56:24] pjcrux: *rc.d
[18:56:36] justinh: hal-emmerich: for SDTV, assuming you can get a 6xxx series card & something like a hauppauge pvr-150 or a pvr-500 card yeah you should be fine
[18:56:36] wagnerrp: for analog, yes
[18:56:52] wagnerrp: (assuming you got a new tuner too)
[18:56:57] justinh: the 500 version is like 2x 150 cards on one card
[18:57:11] wagnerrp: yeah, pick up a 6-series card, and a PVR-150... should run maybe $40 for the lot
[18:57:15] pjcrux: yep yep i love my PVR-500
[18:57:36] justinh: pjcrux: yeah that could be it /etc/rc.d/foo
[18:57:54] pjcrux: k thanks justinh
[18:58:29] Beirdo: Red Robin.... Yummm.
[18:58:39] justinh: pjcrux: you might be better off uninstalling mythtv with whatever passes for a 'purge' option & reinstalling.. or else see if you can find an original fedora init script for mythtv
[18:58:58] justinh: if you've not changed it yourself I'd be worried the filesystem has been corrupted or something
[18:59:34] justinh: nothing should've messed with that & it's tricky to break init scripts by accident
[19:00:50] pjcrux: was working fine till I updated
[19:01:24] pjcrux: here's the init script I'm not the greatest at this but I don't see anything wrong http://mythtv.pastebin.com/xKY0eirW
[19:01:51] pjcrux: short of running cron every minute to start the backend I'm out of all the ideas I've thought of for this
[19:02:05] wagnerrp: lin 25 is your problem
[19:02:54] wagnerrp: line 25 doesnt even make any sense
[19:03:04] wagnerrp: im surprised the script even runs
[19:03:26] pjcrux: it doesn't the only way I can bring up the backend is to run mythbackend as root
[19:03:58] wagnerrp: no, im saying bash should get to that line and barf
[19:04:03] wagnerrp: before it even tries to run mythbackend
[19:04:24] pjcrux: wagnerrp: I'm ignorant as to the reason why it barfs can you elaborate
[19:04:32] pjcrux: please
[19:04:51] wagnerrp: first, youre calling '--logfile' without actually specifying a file to log to
[19:04:59] wagnerrp: which is what mythbackend is complaining about
[19:05:17] wagnerrp: for some reason that '-user ${..}' clause got stuffed in there
[19:05:31] wagnerrp: splitting the --logfile clause in half
[19:05:41] wagnerrp: but beyond that, its an unterminated string
[19:06:08] wagnerrp: and im surprised it doesnt have problems with that spurious dollar sign at the end
[19:06:14] pjcrux: I've reinstalled multiple times (reboots inbetween each)
[19:06:31] pjcrux: how would you fix it wagnerrp ?
[19:06:33] wagnerrp: basically, your init script is borked
[19:06:40] pjcrux: great
[19:06:44] tgm4883: thats a init script from a ubuntu system?
[19:06:46] wagnerrp: you need to find someone else who uses fedora to see what theirs looks like
[19:07:04] tgm4883: ah, fedora ok then
[19:07:25] tgm4883: dont mind me, got confused reading the backlog
[19:09:12] pjcrux: alright then thanks wagnerrp
[19:09:19] pjcrux: off to the forums to make a post
[19:09:55] EvilGuru: pjcrux: Or just extract the base rpm and see what the init script looks like

[20:44:56] sphery: A friend of mine--who's always been a very Windows-y guy--says he's switching to Ubuntu, now.
[20:45:03] sphery: I'm wondering how happy he'll be.
[20:45:10] wagnerrp: thats a terrible logo
[20:45:14] Beirdo: probably pretty good
[20:45:26] sphery: (especially since he's also planning to switch his wife, and they both do things in a very Windows way)
[20:45:28] Beirdo: err, pretty happy
[20:45:37] Beirdo: hehe
[20:45:45] wagnerrp: if youre going to make something in kentucky blue, you better at least use the correct blue

[20:47:07] sphery: ah, back :)
[20:50:11] wagnerrp: sphery: you might know the answer to this
[20:50:18] wagnerrp: when using transactions with mysql
[20:50:21] sphery: don't know
[20:50:23] wagnerrp: you get one transaction per connection
[20:50:30] sphery: (saw the question in dev channel)
[20:50:41] sphery: I would /guess/ so, but I'm not willing to say it's definite.
[20:51:06] wagnerrp: ok, reworking how the database access functions in the bindings
[20:51:16] sphery: did you finish the code to convert everyone to innodb?

[20:51:40] wagnerrp: no, this is actually trying to fix some issue RDV is having with thread-safety
[20:52:01] wagnerrp: hes got multiple threads trying to hit the same connection simultaneously
[20:52:05] wagnerrp: and its breaking things
[20:52:11] Beirdo: bad boy
[20:52:30] Beirdo: he should make a mysql thread and serialize it :)
[20:52:44] wagnerrp: but my intent is to fix it in a manner that would make sense for future use of innodb
[20:52:54] Beirdo: yeah, fair enough
[20:52:56] sphery: (I'm sure you know this so feel free to ignore, but) I think transactions are not supported in MySQL with the MyISAM engine (which most users use)
[20:53:07] sphery: ah, so thinking futre...
[20:53:09] wagnerrp: of course that might all be moot if direct mysql access is going away anyway
[20:53:22] sphery: Strange that the Python connection isn't multi-statement safe...
[20:54:06] wagnerrp: even more strange that you have to spawn a 'cursor' to use it
[20:54:08] sphery: (or maybe it just does things at the connection level and that would explain why they don't make it possible to have multiple statements open at the same time in a single connection)
[20:54:17] sphery: cursor, foiled again!
[20:54:52] AndyCap: automan?
[20:54:53] wagnerrp: mysql doesnt actually support cursors, unlike other DB engines, so the bindings fake it

[20:57:09] sphery: http://mysql-python.sourceforge.net/MySQLdb.html pretty much just says, "The general upshot of this is: Don't share connections between threads. It's really not worth your effort or mine, and in the end, will probably hurt performance, since the MySQL server runs a separate thread for each connection."
[20:57:22] Beirdo: ahh, now I remember why I liked using Server install
[20:57:26] Beirdo: much smaller :)
[20:57:29] sphery: so, sounds like you need a separate connection per thread in Python

[20:58:07] hal-emmerich: If I set it up on Intel Integrated graphics, then install the Geforce 6200 tomorrow
[20:58:12] wagnerrp: sphery: im making it a separate connection per 'cursor', and expecting users wont be sharing cursors between multiple threads
[20:58:24] hal-emmerich: Will I need to reinstall? or is Linux pretty easy to install hardware on like that
[20:58:31] wagnerrp: you have a board with intel graphics?
[20:58:36] hal-emmerich: yes
[20:58:40] sphery: wagnerrp: yeah, as long as you document that requirement, I think it's a fair requirement to place upon bindings devs
[20:58:52] wagnerrp: i asked you that a couple hours ago, and got no response
[20:58:57] wagnerrp: that /should/ work fine with mythtv
[20:59:03] hal-emmerich: I did answer you >.> lol
[20:59:29] hal-emmerich: the only catch about it is theres no S-Video out on it, so I need some card for the purpose of video out
[20:59:39] sphery: and if your package manager is good, it shouldn't clutter up the file system (or break things like OpenGL support), either :)
[20:59:44] sphery: hal-emmerich: ^^^
[20:59:45] wagnerrp: [14:48] <hal-emmerich> It does, actually
[20:59:47] wagnerrp: so you did...
[21:00:04] wagnerrp: yeah, there is that problem
[21:00:33] sphery: i.e. it's not about Linux--it's about the package manager--making it easy to upgrade hardware that requires proprietary drivers
[21:00:35] hal-emmerich: and I'm probably just going to go with Mythbuntu
[21:01:32] sphery: sounds like if your Intel graphics is lacking S-Video out, you actually need 2 things...
[21:01:39] sphery: an nvidia video card and a new TV :)
[21:02:08] sphery: (where you won't use S-Video, but will use a video connection method that's not yet a member of AARP :)
[21:02:22] [R]: ROFL
[21:03:21] sphery: that was a joke--I realize that HDTV's aren't really worth the cost (even now, when the cost has dropped significantly)

[21:04:11] wagnerrp: theyve decided that the tv is staying with the hours
[21:04:14] wagnerrp: house
[21:04:24] sphery: only thing I didn't need to try before I tell people how bad it is was 3D TV :)
[21:04:46] wagnerrp: they had to tear apart their staircase to get it into the basement
[21:04:46] sphery: yeah, if I sold my house, I'd likely throw the TV in as part of the deal
[21:04:53] wagnerrp: when it leaves, its leaving in pieces
[21:05:06] sphery: but for me, more because I want to go a different way, now
[21:06:07] sphery: (but that way won't be SED because the company that wanted money from Toshiba to license it when Canon and Toshiba were working to commercialize it killed it--and all future revenue from its use)
[21:06:44] sphery: SED is dead!  :( Here's hoping NED or some other FED makes it.

[22:41:20] J-e-f-f-A: Beirdo: you have to blacklist nouveau – I did so in the grub.conf file...
[22:41:22] Beirdo: now how would I convince xorg to use it? :)
[22:41:24] Beirdo: heh
[22:42:02] J-e-f-f-A: Beirdo: I just got my system working Saturday on FC13 – that was a bit of a learning curve from FC8!!!
[22:42:22] Beirdo: If I had used Ubuntu Desktop, it would already be working
[22:42:23] ** J-e-f-f-A is lucky his keyboard survived with all the had bashing that day... **
[22:43:09] J-e-f-f-A: *head bashing even...

[22:44:22] J-e-f-f-A: Beirdo: ... and for FC13, the nvidia install didn't work, I had to google and find instructions on how to download an RPM from rpmfusion...
[22:44:35] Beirdo: ouch
[22:45:42] J-e-f-f-A: ... that was a first for me... I've been a Fedora faithful since Jarod's guide many moons ago... 2 or 3...
[22:46:05] lapion: pbp in my situation is actually picture on picture mode

[22:52:46] AndyCap: Beirdo: you need the nvidia driver, nv is just the 2d nvidia driver which got killed off recently.
[22:53:43] EvilGuru: Good riddance
[22:54:02] AndyCap: hehe
[22:54:27] Beirdo: ahhh
[22:54:39] Beirdo: and where does this driver come from, I wonder
[22:56:34] Beirdo: makes sense though
[22:56:52] J-e-f-f-A: Beirdo: download it from nvidia.com ? then you have to compile it via 'init 3' 'sh NV...', then 'init 5'...
[22:57:03] Beirdo: screw that :)
[22:57:08] Beirdo: hehe
[22:57:09] ** J-e-f-f-A laughs. **
[22:57:24] Beirdo: ubuntu has it packaged, it's just a matter of doing it right
[22:57:35] J-e-f-f-A: It's actually pretty simple... ^^ ah. cheaters! ;-)
[22:58:06] Beirdo: aahahh
[22:58:33] Beirdo: Module build for the currently running kernel was skipped since the kernel source for this kernel does not seem to be installed.
[22:58:36] Beirdo: grrr
[22:59:13] J-e-f-f-A: yum install kernel-devel ... woops, that's for Fedora. ;-)
[22:59:29] Beirdo: I shoulda known this was the issue

[23:17:21] Beirdo: but ssh in, sudo startx, and X is fine
[23:17:29] Beirdo: now what the heck got wedged
[23:17:37] Beirdo: no consoles at all
[23:23:06] Beirdo: hmmm
[23:23:11] Beirdo: mysql not working
[23:29:57] Beirdo: reboot... again :)
[23:30:29] Beirdo: muuuch better
[23:30:43] Beirdo: ripped out mysql, reinstalled it cleanly
[23:31:05] Beirdo: note to self... do not rsync /var/lib/mysql from 32bit to 64bit...
[23:31:06] Beirdo: heh

[23:51:51] Beirdo: GOD I hate Windows
[23:52:08] Beirdo: it won't let me ping in from another network
[23:52:18] Beirdo: and danged if I can find how to change it
[23:52:40] ** Beirdo becomes a monkey and flings feces at the computer **
[23:54:43] lyricnz: "ping in from another network"?
[23:54:50] Beirdo: yeah
[23:55:00] Beirdo: I can't ping 192.168.0.2 from 192.168.1.5
[23:55:05] Beirdo: and the routing is correct
[23:55:06] rhollan (rhollan!~rene@firewall.hollan.org) has joined #mythtv-users
[23:55:17] Beirdo: it's firewalling the stupid pings
[23:55:30] Beirdo: ON the windows box, not in the router

[23:57:15] Beirdo: kinda
[23:57:26] Beirdo: still wanna send stink-bombs to Redmond
[23:57:34] lyricnz: Firewalling icmp? on a windows box? Surely not.
[23:57:44] lyricnz: Are you *sure* the routing is correct?
[23:57:47] Beirdo: yes
[23:57:54] Beirdo: absolutely

[23:58:42] Beirdo: shouldn't need it
[23:59:35] Beirdo: it's Windows not knowing how to route, it seems
[23:59:43] Beirdo: sigh
[23:59:50] Beirdo: anyways, fixed it for now
[23:59:58] Beirdo: until the next time windows reboots
