[00:00:09] ComradeHaz`: Fair.
[00:00:25] ComradeHaz`: I still don't see a way to pull up a menu....
[00:00:52] wagnerrp: where are you now?
[00:00:55] ComradeHaz`: Is it on some keyboard or remote shortcut?
[00:01:17] sphery: Heh, my Edie's Fruit Bars normally have 4 each of 3 flavors. Last time I had a "mismatched" box, it had one fewer of my favorite flavor. This box has 2 extra of my favorite flavor.

[00:02:35] wagnerrp: can you do that with the remote?
[00:02:40] wagnerrp: no
[00:03:06] ComradeHaz`: Can you?!
[00:03:06] ComradeHaz`: :D
[00:03:06] ComradeHaz`: Can one?
[00:03:20] wagnerrp: i can, sure
[00:03:26] wagnerrp: because i set up my remote to allow so
[00:03:28] wagnerrp: did you?
[00:03:47] ComradeHaz`: Not yet!

[00:17:04] high-rez: Wow
[00:17:36] high-rez: My local television news station just towed the NAB line on FM Radio in electronic devices and completely distorted the facts
[00:18:14] high-rez: "Other countries have it why don't we? The battle brews to put FM radio on cell phones."  – a total lie since you can get FM radio on cell phones, but nobody enables it cause consumers don't care
[00:18:57] high-rez: But they're representing the issue as 'a battle put fm radio on cell phones' when the really is 'a battle to force manufacturers to put fm radio on cell phones'
[00:19:16] ** high-rez hits the record button this one **
[00:21:46] sphery: yeah, I love how so much useless stuff gets put into things "to help the [stupid] consumers" (i.e. DTV tuners and decoders)
[00:22:03] ** ComradeHaz` is still messing about but is starting to flal asleep **
[00:22:07] sphery: this stupid consumer wanted a TV without a tuner/decoder (basically a monitor) but couldn't buy one
[00:22:15] ComradeHaz`: Time for sleeps gents. Goodnight, and thankyou :)
[00:22:49] high-rez: Its all hand outs to the NAB.
[00:23:22] high-rez: The funny thing is, in the battle between the RIAA and the NAB – I have no idea who to root for – they're both so entirely evil.
[00:23:52] Beirdo: sphery: hehe, I think that about some of our changes to mythtv at times
[00:24:15] sphery: heh, yeah
[00:25:20] high-rez: Btw, now that I have audio configured right (i suspect it really is a bug that misconfigured audio can cause a playback hang) the frontend is working great with qt 4.7 ;)
[00:25:51] sphery: cool
[00:31:15] wagnerrp: sphery: you can get them, but they dont tend to make those in nice displays
[00:31:41] wagnerrp: the expensive panels get all the extra unneeded doo-dads like network/internet/radio/tv/...
[00:31:51] stoth (stoth!~stoth@ool-18bfe781.dyn.optonline.net) has joined #mythtv-users
[00:31:58] wagnerrp: most of Westinghouse's TVs did not have tuners
[00:32:07] wagnerrp: weve got a tunerless phillips plasma at work
[00:32:33] wagnerrp: samsung makes some expensive large format displays for lobby wall displays
[00:33:16] Beirdo: just steal one from work, then?
[00:33:18] Beirdo: cool
[00:33:29] wagnerrp: oh, its a piece of crap
[00:33:34] wagnerrp: native 1024x1024
[00:33:36] wagnerrp: whats with that?
[00:33:52] Beirdo: snicker
[00:34:31] [R]: what the hell is 1024x1024?
[00:34:37] mazda01 (mazda01!~daniel@cpe-173-89-62-76.wi.res.rr.com) has quit (Quit: Leaving)
[00:34:44] Beirdo: a resolution
[00:34:53] [R]: that some crack addict thought of?
[00:34:56] Beirdo: !trout [R] language
[00:34:56] ** MythLogBot slaps [R] with a language trout on behalf of Beirdo... **
[00:35:02] Beirdo: obviously :)
[00:35:04] wagnerrp: some old 46" phillips plasma weve got at work
[00:35:15] Beirdo: maybe that's the size of the pr0n pics the designer had
[00:35:16] [R]: tell me... do plasma tvs really have plasma in t hem
[00:35:20] [R]: or it is a marketing mimmick?
[00:35:22] [R]: gimmick*
[00:35:30] wagnerrp: yes, they have plasma
[00:35:47] wagnerrp: low temperature plasma
[00:35:51] sphery: wagnerrp: it was the FCC's requirement that by Jul 1, 2004, 50% of all new TV's 36" and larger needed integrated OTA tuners/decoders; by Jul 1, 2005, 100% of TV's 36" and larger and 50% of sets 25" to 35"; by Mar 1, 2006, 100% of all TVs 25" or larger; by Mar 1, 2007, all TVs 13" or larger
[00:35:58] sphery: this is what I did not like
[00:36:01] [R]: low temp plasma? what is that? i thought plasma was plasma cuz it was super hot
[00:36:07] high-rez: Don't they /make/ plasma – i don't think plasma exists without a gas being excited – no ?
[00:36:12] wagnerrp: sphery: 'TV' is the key word there
[00:36:16] sphery: right
[00:36:17] wagnerrp: if you dont have a tuner, its just a monitor
[00:36:28] sphery: but you can't buy a monitor of equivalent size
[00:36:38] wagnerrp: sure you can
[00:37:01] sphery: no, you could only buy commercial screens
[00:37:04] sphery: which are garbage
[00:37:11] sphery: and extremely expensive for what you get
[00:37:22] wagnerrp: like i said, before westinghouse went belly up, they sold them
[00:37:26] wagnerrp: just a year or two ago
[00:38:03] wagnerrp: of course they looked like garbage too
[00:38:09] wagnerrp: but at least they were cheap garbage
[00:38:33] high-rez: i don't mind that TVs have ATSC tuners in them... Even if its mandated. They sort of go hand in hand (and the requirement probably was to help with the DTV transition)... But requiring a cell phone with an FM tuner is just lame.
[00:38:39] sphery: on the bright side, now that the FCC mugged me and took my $500, the cost of those digital decoders has dropped--thanks to computer tech
[00:39:05] sphery: but that mandate should /never/ have existed
[00:39:21] sphery: since the vast majority of TV users /never/ uses the DTV tuner or decoder
[00:39:32] sphery: after all, we're at what, 11% OTA usage, now?
[00:39:34] wagnerrp: high-rez: when half the population has cable, which /requires/ a STB, theres not a whole lot of point to mandating tuners
[00:39:42] wagnerrp: or even buying a tv with one in it for that matter
[00:39:50] sphery: exactly
[00:40:28] sphery: so in my TV, which was an early model, approximately $500 of the cost was for the decoder (tuner was still cheap)
[00:40:49] sphery: and it's a POJ decoder that can't keep up with real-time ATSC at high bitrates
[00:40:52] high-rez: Yeah, unless its like a medical device or something safety related (airbags?), governments mandating what features products have feels so communist. Except that its at the behest of corporations so I guess its more fascist
[00:41:03] wagnerrp: wow
[00:41:49] sphery: and at the time I was shopping for a new HDTV display, I /looked/ for one that was a monitor.
[00:41:59] high-rez: sphery: I didn't bother with hdtvs until the prices got reasonable.  :) I just dealt with having a huge CRT monitor (which was doing higher resolution than todays high def tvs)
[00:42:00] sphery: I couldn't find any 68" 1080p monitors at all
[00:42:17] high-rez: Dang, thats a huge display
[00:42:20] sphery: yeah, mine wasn't reasonable price
[00:42:29] sphery: it was $4K when I got it
[00:42:36] high-rez: I think if I was going for somethiung that big I'd have to get a projector ;)
[00:42:41] sphery: now I could get a better one for way less money
[00:42:49] high-rez: (which is what I used for a very long time too)
[00:42:52] sphery: I will be replacing it with a projector
[00:42:56] [R]: how far away do you have to be from 68" for it to not suck?
[00:43:01] sphery: (but most of the reason for that is because I won't do LCD)
[00:43:18] sphery: I sit approximately 25 yards away
[00:43:18] high-rez: No likie LCD ?
[00:43:28] [R]: how far is 25 yards? isn't that a lot?
[00:43:36] mzb is now known as mzb_zz
[00:43:39] wagnerrp: 68" 1080p for me would be about 20'
[00:43:45] sphery: though sometimes the guy in that house--the one 25 lawns away--compalins
[00:43:47] mzb_zz is now known as mzb
[00:43:49] Beirdo: hehe
[00:44:12] Beirdo: you sure it's not his wife/daughter yer watching?
[00:44:17] sphery: high-rez: I love LCD--but I hate LCD for video
[00:44:26] sphery: LCD is great for computer monitors, though
[00:44:38] [R]: so hows that VDPAU painter? is it better than opengl?
[00:44:45] sphery: Beirdo: heh
[00:44:48] wagnerrp: it basically is opengl
[00:44:56] wagnerrp: the advantage is improved memory usage
[00:44:56] sphery: closed GL?
[00:45:06] wagnerrp: so you can get by with 256MB cards
[00:45:11] wagnerrp: and VDPAU decoding
[00:45:12] [R]: so thats really no diff?
[00:45:13] sphery: *in trunk
[00:46:58] high-rez: sphery: I pseronally preferred CRTs for a long time – but it seems with modern LCDs the blur isn't reall noticeable to me.
[00:47:52] sphery: yeah, they're doing tricks to fix the LCD problems, but they're not doing the best tricks, anymore
[00:48:20] Shadow__X: what do you guys think of the zotac iontx p-e as a frontend for the hd
[00:48:34] [R]: i have an ionitx b-e
[00:48:35] [R]: works like a charm
[00:48:40] Shadow__X: http://www.anandtech.com/show/3869/zotac-ioni . . . -nvidias-ion dual core celeron
[00:48:41] sphery: instead, they're using stupid tricks to try to give the same benefit, but without the brightness loss
[00:48:47] high-rez: I love my ionitx but the myth devs complain about them constantly ;)
[00:48:50] sphery: so they're inventing information to stick in between frames
[00:49:20] Shadow__X: [R]: which cpu does that one have
[00:49:32] [R]: Shadow__X: 230
[00:49:32] sphery: Shadow__X: p-e isn't the worst choice of "ION" (even if it isn't an ION)
[00:50:08] sphery: IONITX-P-E with the Celeron SU2300 – $169
[00:50:14] sphery: i.e. not an Atom
[00:50:14] Shadow__X: [R]: and i am guessing if there is errors in the recording it still defaults to go back to cpu right
[00:50:23] [R]: Shadow__X: huh?
[00:50:36] abqjp (abqjp!~abqjp@97-119-173-134.albq.qwest.net) has quit (Quit: abqjp)
[00:50:36] [R]: sphery: i thought the definition of ion was atom?
[00:50:37] high-rez: The ionitx is the one that uses the powerbrick with the dual core n330 atom. I think its magic for a frontend
[00:50:38] Shadow__X: sphery: right the chipset is ion but the nature of ion was to stick it with an atom
[00:50:49] sphery: [R]: TTBOMK, so did nvidia
[00:50:52] high-rez: I thought the definition of ION was atom+9400
[00:50:54] [R]: AHHA
[00:50:59] sphery: [R]: http://www.anandtech.com/show/3869/zotac-ioni . . . vidias-ion/1
[00:51:05] [R]: i don't really care
[00:51:07] sphery: trounced the atom, though
[00:51:12] wagnerrp: Shadow__X: if the VDPAU decoder spits out the video initially because it cannot decode it, mythtv will drop back to the software decoder
[00:51:39] wagnerrp: Shadow__X: if VDPAU fails because of errors in the stream, playback will fail outright in unpredictable ways
[00:51:54] wagnerrp: probably dropping back to the main menu
[00:51:57] Shadow__X: wagnerrp: yeah thats what i thought at times i have stream errors
[00:52:30] Shadow__X: wagnerrp: most of the time it keeps playing just makes a popping noice similiar to squelch then skips a few frames
[00:52:53] wagnerrp: error recovery has gotten significantly better
[00:52:59] wagnerrp: in the 180.x line, it was pretty horrible
[00:53:20] sphery: IMHO, buying Atom is like buying a stock car that only does 25mph, because "this race track is all down hill"
[00:54:05] sphery: buying a nice low-power-usage CPU with some headroom gives the best of both worlds--and works even on flat race tracks
[00:54:50] Shadow__X: sphery: so you suggest getting something like a 45watt amd cpu with integrated video?
[00:55:09] wagnerrp: Shadow__X: correct
[00:55:18] Shadow__X: i look at ion boards because they are cheap are lower power and use really small footprints
[00:55:21] sphery: Shadow__X: the problem with that approch would be the AMD integrated CPU is usually ATI
[00:55:30] Shadow__X: if i had the money i would prefer using a mac mini
[00:55:35] sphery: but a nice low-TDP AMD or Intel chip with integrated nvidia is grat
[00:55:44] sphery: and, yeah, something like mac mini is wonderful
[00:55:46] Shadow__X: sphery: right exactly
[00:55:54] wagnerrp: the problem is youre not going to find modern intel chips with onboard nvidia
[00:56:13] wagnerrp: ive not heard how the integrated graphics on the i5s handle the opengl painter and video renderer
[00:56:14] agr0__ (agr0__!~agr0@203-206-123-163.dyn.iinet.net.au) has joined #mythtv-users
[00:57:00] Shadow__X: yeah with the switch to nehalem intel is pushing other gpus to the way side
[00:57:01] sphery: Shadow__X: this is my latest manifesto: http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/mythtv/users/448321#448321
[00:57:21] wagnerrp: Shadow__X: which is funny, because they dropped their own GPU
[00:57:50] sphery: Shadow__X: note that I'm not recommendign the Mac Mini, but given sufficient effort, you could do a similarly-well-designed system that's atom-like power usage and real-computer-like computing power
[00:57:54] agr0_ (agr0_!~agr0@203-59-177-128.dyn.iinet.net.au) has quit (Ping timeout: 240 seconds)
[00:58:17] wagnerrp: sphery: the realist's manifesto?
[00:58:26] Shadow__X: sphery: yes i fully agree and if i had the money to spend on a mac mini for a frontned i would
[00:58:57] sphery: I thought it was AMD's buying ATI and Intel's trying to kill nvidia's ION that was pushing non-Intel graphics on Intel mobos to the wayside
[00:59:06] wagnerrp: Shadow__X: you can build a mini-itx i5 system that will do 25W idle, 60W under load, and can decode anything you want to throw at it
[00:59:37] wagnerrp: if you shut down or standby when not in use, you could get by with a few dollars of power consumed per year
[00:59:38] sphery: and ^^^ is a good approach
[00:59:45] sphery: and not likely too expensive, either
[00:59:50] Shadow__X: wagnerrp: yeah i have looked at that before as well and just use the integrated intel(shudders at the though) gpu
[01:00:26] Shadow__X: i do have to say i like the itx i5 approach as well
[01:01:19] Shadow__X: how is sleep and wake working with mythtv and the related ir receiver? i remembered reading here that people had issues with usb after resuming that required unplugging the usb device and plugging it back in
[01:01:19] sphery: I don't know the Intel-mobo scene, at all
[01:01:34] sphery: wonder how much more power a discrete graphics board uses compared to integrated
[01:01:46] nutron: bajillions of watts
[01:01:55] sphery: i.e. get a nice fanless nvidia card that's not high-power-usage....
[01:02:19] Shadow__X: i would most likely get a 9400
[01:02:26] Shadow__X: cheap and still does vdpau
[01:04:03] wagnerrp: $340 for for mini-itx board, 3.2GHz i5, 4GB of 1333
[01:04:08] wagnerrp: $40 for case
[01:04:13] wagnerrp: $40 for PSU
[01:04:17] wagnerrp: $20 for IR
[01:05:50] Shadow__X: thats not bad at all considering its an actual machine
[01:06:10] Shadow__X: i have to agree with sphery atoms are pretty anemic when it comes to being able to process
[01:06:28] wagnerrp: which as beirdo discovered, is awful when trying to compile trunk on it
[01:06:34] wagnerrp: how many hours did that end up taking?
[01:06:51] Beirdo: hehe
[01:06:58] Beirdo: 4 I think
[01:07:08] Beirdo: and thank you for reminding me... need to do it again
[01:07:08] Beirdo: hehe
[01:07:10] sphery: wow
[01:07:19] wagnerrp: i think my 5yr old opteron takes about 30 minutes from scratch
[01:07:22] Beirdo: that was a FULL compile though
[01:07:34] sphery: sounds like you could sell ccaches for that build
[01:07:37] Beirdo: machine has 1G RAM in it
[01:10:15] wagnerrp: 'today on ice road truckers, the rookie challenges the king to a race'
[01:10:25] wagnerrp: why would you /ever/ race in that environment
[01:10:48] [R]: why NOT
[01:11:32] Shadow__X: found a am3/am2+ board integrated 8200 for 52 bucks
[01:15:49] Shadow__X: wagnerrp: for a h55 build though could i even think of using the integrated gpu
[01:19:14] sphery: what's h55?
[01:19:33] wagnerrp: i5 chipset
[01:19:38] Shadow__X: intel core i3/i5 board
[01:19:47] Shadow__X: doesnt it do i3 too?
[01:20:21] wagnerrp: i dont know, they mixed and matched that entire architecture into a giant cluster-f
[01:20:55] Shadow__X: i liked the good ol c2d days myself
[01:21:35] sphery: yeah, C2D was much easier to figure out than "i".RNG()

[02:43:42] sphery: the master backend can wake and sleep slaves or itself

[02:44:08] mag0o: the acpi stuff..grr

[02:44:44] mag0o: got me
[02:46:22] sphery: ah, maybe the new thing was /sys/class/rtc/rtc0/wakealarm
[02:47:05] sphery: (and it seems that's what the wiki talks about now)
[02:47:17] [R]: my wakeup works like a charm
[02:47:20] ** [R] hugs his motherboard **
[02:47:26] Gibby: i can use 1 hdhomerun dual, to work to SD directv boxes right?
[02:47:43] [R]: Gibby: hdhomerun uses atsc or qam... dtv boxes don't output either
[02:47:46] sphery: HDHomeRun only does digital OTA and Cable
[02:47:50] ** mag0o makes fun of his motherboard **
[02:48:13] Gibby: then what does directv output via the coax from the STB
[02:48:23] nutron: asus has always been flaky :( especially with apic's and acpi tables
[02:48:24] sphery: Gibby: for DirecTV you need an analog capture device--ideally something like the Hauppauge PVR-150 for standard-def or Hauppauge HD-PVR for high-def
[02:48:42] [R]: Gibby: out the coax is super crap ntsc
[02:48:56] sphery: Gibby: and you want to use S-Video (or, at worst Composite) output from the DTV box--not the RF-modulated output (coax)
[02:49:11] sphery: (or Component if you go HDTV and HD-PVR)
[02:49:29] Gibby: right now i am just going to use 2 SD boxes until i fork out the "security deposit" and monthly rent just for the box not including the extra money for the hd channels
[02:49:43] Gibby: so S-Video is the best?
[02:50:09] sphery: for SDTV, S-Video is your best bet
[02:50:16] sphery: and the PVR-150 will capture it
[02:50:48] Gibby: hmmm ok
[02:50:57] sphery: you could get an HVR-1600, which is basically a PVR-150 + a digital tuner (for over-the-air TV broadcasts in your area), but if you're not using the digital, the PVR-150 is much cheaper
[02:51:29] sphery: though they got slapped by the FCC for selling them (since they don't have digital tuners), so Hauppauge can't sell new ones in the US, so you have to buy from ebay, generally
[02:51:40] Gibby: well i was going to use digital also, just taking steps slowly
[02:51:43] sphery: (the PVR-150's that is--they can sell teh HVR-1600, but it's much more expensive)
[02:52:08] sphery: but the HVR-1600--and the HDHR and any other digital capture--will /not/ work with DirecTV
[02:52:20] Gibby: so i would need 2 pvr-150's for 2 directv STB's?
[02:52:24] sphery: so when you go high-definition with DirectTV, your /only/ option is the Hauppauge HD-PVR
[02:52:40] sphery: right, 2 PVR-150's for 2 DirectTV STBs
[02:52:50] sphery: or you could get one PVR-500, but usually 2 PVR-150s are cheaper)
[02:53:07] totalanni: hum
[02:53:22] totalanni: any of u guys got a min? :)
[02:53:23] sphery: the HVR-1600's digital tuner is only useful with over-the-air broadcasts or unencrypted QAM cable broadcasts
[02:53:41] kormoc: totalanni, just ask

[02:54:23] totalanni: i did a basic frontend/backend setup, it found my tuner, scanned and added channels(but at the end of that it said none found, but still added them), restarted, and it says cannot connect to backend
[02:54:48] Gibby: but as said before S-video is the best option, any cards out there with 2 of those? my backend is a 2U rackmount server, soo space is limited in it
[02:55:10] sphery: PVR-500 is basically a single PCI card with 2 PVR-150s in it
[02:55:36] wagnerrp: they make low profile 150s as well
[02:55:38] sphery: but you would need an additional "connection kit" to get a 2nd S-Video input
[02:55:41] wagnerrp: or do you have a riser card?
[02:56:08] wagnerrp: the 'connection kit' is just a daughter bracket that connects to a header on the card

[02:56:24] wagnerrp: if you had no room, you could always drill a hole in your case and mount it directly to it
[02:57:10] Gibby: correct, i have a pci riser card in it now that gives it 3 pci slots, 1 is going to be used for a 4 port sata card, there is a another pci slot but almost not useful unless i cut the case a little bit
[02:57:29] Gibby: I found a pvr-500 for 48, that is cheaper than 2 pvr-150's
[02:58:42] Gibby: i can't find any of the connection kits tho
[02:58:42] i_is_cat: for $48?
[02:59:12] Gibby: yes $48 but no connection kit, i have found just a conneciton kit yet
[02:59:19] wagnerrp: i believe hauppauge will still sell you one directly
[02:59:26] wagnerrp: for a couple bucks plus shipping
[03:00:34] i_is_cat: Gibby, is this a one time thing or are there many cards?
[03:00:39] ** i_is_cat wants some **
[03:00:44] Gibby: 1 time thing
[03:00:48] i_is_cat: darn
[03:00:51] Gibby: it is used
[03:00:54] i_is_cat: meh
[03:01:19] Gibby: what about this http://www.hauppauge.com/site/products/data_usblive2.html
[03:01:22] i_is_cat: i got my pvr150 used for $60 a year and a bit ago..
[03:01:28] Gibby: it has s-video
[03:02:25] sphery: http://store.hauppauge.com/accessories2.asp?product=av_cable
[03:02:53] wagnerrp: i got my pvr-150 new for $60 in like 2006
[03:03:06] sphery: a PVR-150 is likely $20-$30 on ebay
[03:04:05] i_is_cat: ya well people want hd instead of sd so prices are dropping pretty decently..
[03:04:22] sphery: heh, thought there are some unreasonable prices on there (some asking $56 or more for a PVR-150)
[03:04:33] i_is_cat: my uncle paid around $120 brand new for the pvr150 and barely used it, i probably could've got it for cheaper but i didnt wanna feel like i was ripping him off
[03:04:44] wagnerrp: prices have been that low for a while now
[03:04:56] wagnerrp: the -150 never went for $120 new
[03:05:02] wagnerrp: retail was like $90
[03:05:02] i_is_cat: sure did
[03:05:03] Beirdo: sphery: yeah... atom add water and stir frontends...
[03:05:05] sphery: i_is_cat: definitely true--the fact that there are tons of PVR-150 auctions ending in hours with no bids and prices around $15–20 says that you should be able to get them cheap
[03:05:05] Gibby: the cheapest 150 i see now is 31
[03:05:28] i_is_cat: wagnerrp, i live in canada so prices are higher here
[03:05:32] sphery: Gibby: look also at the auction ones--not just buy it now
[03:05:35] i_is_cat: and theres nothing i can do about it
[03:06:05] Gibby: hmm so 1 pvr-500 with connection kit or 2 pvr-150's.... the 150's are probably smaller huh?
[03:06:06] Beirdo: i_is_cat: that certainly wasn't the case when I was still living in Canada
[03:06:32] i_is_cat: which? prices being higher in general? or the pvr 150 price?
[03:06:36] Gibby: lol the ones ending in a day with no bids are 29.99 for shipping
[03:06:44] sphery: Gibby: if you get low prifile, they're probably smaller, but for the not low-profile ones, maybe not
[03:06:50] Beirdo: the prices were about even between CDN$ and US$
[03:07:23] Beirdo: which actually made CDN prices about 20% lower
[03:07:29] sphery: though the low-profile ones are pretty high--looks like $80 or so for a PVR_150 LP
[03:07:40] i_is_cat: i normally dont check out us prices tbh, but whenever i mention a price of a product in here, everyone is always stating its much cheaper on us sites.
[03:08:08] Beirdo: hmph
[03:08:29] Beirdo: the alphapulse tweak gave me back about 3% CPU
[03:08:36] Beirdo: not nearly good enough
[03:09:12] Beirdo: now to use less CPU... playing back H.264
[03:10:33] sphery: Gibby: IMHO, it looks like tomorrow is the day to buy... I see 9 different auctions, 0 bids, $0.01 ending in 1d 2h and change. With an appropriate bid, it looks like you could get a couple of those for cheap (since so many will come up at the same time)
[03:10:43] sphery: though today may be the day to bid
[03:10:55] sphery: oh, and note that I'm not recommending any particular sellers on ebay...
[03:10:57] sphery: :)
[03:11:02] Gibby: sphery, the shipping is $29.99
[03:11:05] sphery: so best of luck
[03:11:14] sphery: woah... I see, now
[03:11:16] sphery: that's bad
[03:11:39] Beirdo: bend over... we're gonna ship this card
[03:12:05] Gibby: ns, i might jsut get 1 pvr-150 and get my 1 directv STB working the do the other
[03:13:29] sphery: Gibby: this would be so much easier if not for the FCC
[03:13:41] Gibby: err the FCC errr
[03:14:10] sphery: their fining Hauppauge for selling analog-only capture cards is why you can't find them new
[03:14:25] sphery: and why some people seem to think they can put an unreasonable price on them on ebay :)
[03:14:42] sphery: so how much is the HVR-1600, now, anyway?
[03:14:46] Beirdo: which is why I'm KEEPING mine :)
[03:15:00] sphery: which is the HVR model with 2x analog + 2x digital?
[03:15:07] sphery: !url tuners
[03:15:07] MythLogBot: tuners: http://www.linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/Hardwar . . . _Information
[03:15:12] wagnerrp: 2250
[03:15:16] sphery: thx
[03:15:20] Beirdo: hehe
[03:15:28] wagnerrp: yeah, thats an option
[03:15:30] ** sphery checks to see if it's working with V4L **
[03:15:34] wagnerrp: 2250 comes in low-profile
[03:15:40] wagnerrp: and works in analog and digital
[03:15:52] sphery: PCI or PCIe?
[03:15:55] wagnerrp: e
[03:16:06] Gibby: hmm i can only use pci
[03:16:11] wagnerrp: 1600 then
[03:16:15] sphery: :(
[03:16:41] Gibby: not answered about this http://www.hauppauge.com/site/products/data_usblive2.html
[03:16:58] sphery: wagnerrp: http://www.linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/ATSC_PCIe_Cards says no ntsc support? Is it available, just not in the shipping kernel?
[03:17:18] wagnerrp: possibly
[03:17:36] Beirdo: 60Hz beat of seconds?
[03:17:40] sphery: so the HVR-1600 is $80 new
[03:17:40] Beirdo: sphery: you lost me.
[03:17:40] wagnerrp: steven toth only put it together about a month ago
[03:17:53] sphery: Beirdo: heh, ignore me...
[03:17:59] wagnerrp: it may still only be in his development branch
[03:18:02] Beirdo: you needed a value > 1Hz to make sure that a second wasn't missed :)

[03:34:29] sphery: I had a 16-foot long UHF/VHF antenna in my living room for about a week while setting up to verify it would work (before spending 8hr mounting it in the attic)
[03:34:35] sphery: not recommended, though
[03:35:39] Gibby: what is not recommended?
[03:36:01] sphery: putting a 16'-long antenna in your front room
[03:36:49] Gibby: lol
[03:38:28] Gibby: geez, chosing an antenna is harder than a tuner card
[03:38:35] wagnerrp: not sure why you would need such a large antenna
[03:38:56] wagnerrp: i mean the worst youve got to contend with is a few palm trees, maybe a bridge
[03:39:20] sphery: when the HDTV was new, it was just barely enough to pick up the worst/lowest-power channels
[03:39:25] sphery: now, it's overkill

[03:39:38] Gibby: http://cgi.ebay.com/AMPLIFIED-DIGITAL-INDOOR- . . . aultDomain_0
[03:39:41] Gibby: so that would work?
[03:39:59] Gibby: I would like to mount the antenna just on top of my server rack
[03:40:05] wagnerrp: go for the 14' one
[03:40:30] wagnerrp: 16' is too much, but a 14' yagi... just right

[03:51:59] Shadow__X: start sesame
[03:52:07] wagnerrp: mythbackend
[03:52:20] totalanni: wagner: im glad your here :)
[03:52:23] wagnerrp: any startup script you may have would depend on your distro
[03:52:29] Gibby: so based out that tvfool output, what is my best antenna for inside under $40
[03:52:31] wagnerrp: mythbackend literally is the backend executable
[03:52:38] totalanni: some reason my frontend wont see the backend
[03:52:41] totalanni: and its localhost
[03:52:52] tgm4883: Timrit, it will upgrade it to 0.23.1
[03:52:56] tgm4883: so technically, yes
[03:53:02] Timrit: cool

[03:55:30] Timrit: or does that break regularly
[03:55:32] tgm4883: Timrit, yea
[03:55:38] tgm4883: it doesn't contain mythtv packages
[03:55:58] tgm4883: just stuff that the mythbuntu team writes, it's low traffic

[04:02:34] Gibby: hmm that link didn't work
[04:02:49] wagnerrp: fairly easy to piece together with $10 and a hardware store
[04:02:56] Gibby: I was thinking about this small yagi

[04:04:07] wagnerrp: i really need to figure out why copy-paste broke again
[04:04:21] totalanni: wagnerrp: for some reason, my frontend cant see my backend
[04:04:23] totalanni: same box
[04:04:35] totalanni: tried filling in its ip
[04:04:38] wagnerrp: dont bother with those tiny yagis
[04:04:38] Gibby: are versions the same?
[04:04:44] totalanni: and using 127.0.0.1
[04:04:56] Beirdo: wagnerrp: I have a tiny yagi :)
[04:04:58] Gibby: http://cgi.ebay.com/High-Gain-Outdoor-YAGI-Hi . . . aultDomain_2
[04:05:00] totalanni: and mythfilldatabase doesnt even connect
[04:05:02] wagnerrp: youll get just as good of signal from a pair of bunny ears

[04:05:04] Beirdo: it's annoying me
[04:05:11] Beirdo: wagnerrp: not true :)
[04:05:13] Gibby: Beirdo: The tiny yagi does?
[04:05:20] totalanni: Gibby: its all on one box and 1 install...so i would assume so
[04:05:21] Beirdo: UHF is better on the yagi.
[04:05:28] Beirdo: VHF on the bunny ears
[04:05:37] Gibby: totalanni: do mythbackend -v and mythfronend -v
[04:05:42] Beirdo: but yeah, it's sucking a wee bit
[04:06:02] wagnerrp: totalanni: in mythtv-setup, first page, you set both IPs to be the same, and the address of your backend?
[04:06:03] Gibby: i meant i only need a antenna for transmitters in a 20 miles radius tho
[04:06:03] Beirdo: it seems that openingy balcony door messes up reception
[04:06:16] totalanni: yes
[04:06:17] Beirdo: which sucks as I open it a lot
[04:06:20] totalanni: both ips are the same
[04:06:26] totalanni: either 127.0.0.1
[04:06:30] totalanni: or its local ip doesnt work
[04:06:31] Gibby: so a yagi like this http://cgi.ebay.com/High-Gain-Outdoor-YAGI-Hi . . . aultDomain_2
[04:06:42] wagnerrp: and after changing those, you restarted your backend?
[04:07:00] totalanni: Gibby: same version...yes...

[04:07:35] wagnerrp: totalanni: are you sure your backend is running? you can open 'top' and see it?
[04:08:00] Timrit: so i still get that error after installing that debian package on the backend. is current version 56 or 23056?
[04:08:13] wagnerrp: 59
[04:08:22] wagnerrp: -fixes is 23056
[04:08:22] Gibby: timrit: what is the output of dpkg -l mythtv-backend and dpkg -l mythtv-frontend
[04:08:38] wagnerrp: have you restarted your backend?
[04:08:41] Gibby: totalanii: ^^^ do the same
[04:08:46] totalanni: wild
[04:08:49] totalanni: i did
[04:08:49] Timrit: i just rebooted the backend
[04:08:56] Timrit: thats why i left

[04:12:26] sphery: Beirdo: yeah, saw that when you posted before
[04:12:27] Timrit: backend
[04:12:52] sphery: Beirdo: is it starting up multiple mythfrontend/mythtv-setups at the same time (on different hosts)?
[04:13:01] sphery: or any idea why it's only sometimes slow?
[04:13:17] sphery: like who might be locking the keybindings or jumppoints table?
[04:13:25] Beirdo: nope. just on one machine
[04:13:34] Beirdo: the backend's running, obviously
[04:13:36] Beirdo: but that's it
[04:13:36] sphery: myisam or innodb?
[04:13:41] Gibby: so i think i am going to order the 2nd yagi
[04:13:49] Beirdo: myisam,
[04:13:56] sphery: yeah, backend shouldn't ever touch those tables
[04:13:56] Beirdo: i haven't messed with it
[04:14:22] Gibby: do i hear any other bidders?
[04:14:37] sphery: I'm wondering if using innodb might make it not do that (i.e. row-level locking instead of table-level)
[04:14:42] sphery: but that's just a workaround, not a fix
[04:14:59] sphery: I'll likely have to consult with my mysql guru and see if he has any ideas

[04:18:02] sphery: and by "keybindings code", I mean the reset code
[04:18:03] Gibby: vanilla with cookies
[04:18:09] wagnerrp: clearly neopolitin
[04:18:14] [R]: i had the weirdest ice cream
[04:18:15] wagnerrp: everyone has to eat something they dont like
[04:18:20] sphery: vanilla with malt
[04:18:22] [R]: it was mint chocolate... but it wans't green... it was white

[04:18:56] Gibby: update the backend
[04:18:58] wagnerrp: you do realize that the green color from mint ice cream is just food coloring, right?
[04:19:04] totalanni: hum
[04:19:08] [R]: wagnerrp: yes, i know that
[04:19:15] Gibby: i like strawberry cheese cake blizzards from DQ
[04:19:16] [R]: wagnerrp: i just thought it odd that they were too cheap/lazy to do it
[04:19:18] wagnerrp: so why is white mint weird?
[04:19:19] totalanni: so the backend wont autolaunch
[04:19:21] totalanni: at boot
[04:19:27] [R]: wagnerrp: because every other one is green
[04:19:35] wagnerrp: food coloring is dirt cheap
[04:19:42] wagnerrp: they werent saving much money by leaving it out
[04:19:44] Gibby: totalanni, run the start up script manually and see why it fails
[04:19:52] [R]: then why not put it in?
[04:19:57] sphery: Gibby: peanut butter crunch blizzards from DQ--they took them off the menu, but sometimes, you can convince an employee to make one, anyway
[04:19:58] wagnerrp: why put it in?
[04:20:04] [R]: to be normal
[04:20:05] Timrit: ummmm is the most current version going to say 56 or 23056 cause i get this error in terminal: (frontend=23056,backend=56)
[04:20:10] wagnerrp: normal is white

[04:20:23] Gibby: sphery, i have to know drive 1hr for a DQ, the wife and i usually go once a month
[04:20:26] [R]: Timrit: 23056 is 23fixes, 56 is 23 not fixes
[04:20:34] totalanni: gibby: it works when i launch it in term
[04:20:51] Gibby: totalanni, what is your OS?
[04:20:55] wagnerrp: weve only got one or two DQs in the local area
[04:20:58] totalanni: mythbuntu =\
[04:21:01] wagnerrp: but this one area of town really likes UDF
[04:21:08] [R]: i have one down the street... went there. havent been in years
[04:21:09] Timrit: can i do an /exec mythbackend --version in here?
[04:21:09] wagnerrp: theyve got half a dozen in a couple square miles
[04:21:10] [R]: got a snickers blizzard
[04:21:12] [R]: it was interesting
[04:21:24] Gibby: when i lived in washington state we were about 5 min from a DQ loved it
[04:21:33] [R]: Timrit: if you want to flood the channel and piss everyone off...
[04:21:40] sphery: Timrit: [23056] is 0.23.1 and [56] is 0.23
[04:22:00] Timrit: i did the update i was told to a few minutes ago
[04:22:03] wagnerrp: ever been to a coldstone?
[04:22:11] [R]: wagnerrp: home based in arizona
[04:22:15] Gibby: timrit did you select the 0.23.1?
[04:22:19] Timrit: yes
[04:22:25] [R]: wagnerrp: i put gummy bears in mine and my friends think i'm weird
[04:22:26] sphery: wagnerrp: coldstone!
[04:22:30] totalanni: Backend works
[04:22:31] totalanni: now
[04:22:44] totalanni: but "watch TV" dumps me back to the menu screen
[04:22:47] Gibby: timrit: do and apt-get update then apt-get upgrade
[04:22:50] [R]: totalanni: what does the log say
[04:22:54] sphery: and marble slab for the coldstone experience at a slightly reduced price

[04:23:10] totalanni: about the watch tv
[04:23:15] [R]: totalanni: i highly doubt both the fron and back logs say nothing
[04:23:27] Gibby: i would take marble slab over coldstone but DQ over both
[04:23:31] tgm4883: Timrit, did you do an apt-get update and upgrade after selecting 0.23.1?
[04:23:36] totalanni: [R]: i thought u were talking about the backend not autorunning...

[04:23:42] Timrit: 404 error
[04:23:42] [R]: totalanni: huh?
[04:23:42] sphery: Gibby: yeah, I like them both, but differently--I'd never get a blizzard at coldstone
[04:23:44] totalanni: nothing
[04:23:48] Gibby: Timrit: It is down :(
[04:23:50] totalanni: where can i find the backend log?
[04:24:00] tgm4883: Timrit, do "dpkg-reconfigure mythbuntu-repos" and select PPA, not US, UK, or FR
[04:24:03] Timrit: us.autobuilds.mythbuntu.org
[04:24:10] Gibby: sphery, ditto i get and oreo shake sometimes
[04:24:10] Timrit: ok
[04:24:12] [R]: totalanni: stdout from the backend or from where you told it to log to when you started it
[04:24:22] totalanni: kk
[04:24:25] totalanni: ty
[04:24:35] Gibby: damn now i am really hungry, atleast BK now has the orea sundae shake which is close
[04:25:31] Gibby: tgm4883: what is up with the mythbuntu sites?
[04:25:32] Timrit: Gibby & tgm4883 & everyone else, thank you for helping me.

[04:26:01] totalanni: stdout on the backend said command not found
[04:26:12] tgm4883: Gibby, IDK whats up with mythbuntu.org. I think I know whats going on with the repos, but can't confirm until I can get ahold of the hosts
[04:26:14] totalanni: lemme go back to mythsetup
[04:26:16] totalanni: and tell it to log
[04:26:19] totalanni: in a dir

[04:51:05] totalanni: i select EIT?
[04:51:18] [R]: eit generally sucks...
[04:51:43] totalanni: i dont have any more cash flow atm
[04:51:48] totalanni: and i hear it costs
[04:52:00] [R]: $20
[04:52:05] totalanni: i know how much
[04:52:13] totalanni: its still tooo much atm
[04:52:24] totalanni: i just want livetv to work
[04:52:27] totalanni: then ill take it from there
[04:52:40] [R]: w/o listings myth is kinda pointless
[04:52:46] [R]: you should just use xine or like tvtime
[04:52:48] iamlindoro: and Myth is *not* the budget option
[04:52:51] iamlindoro: it's the luxury option
[04:52:59] totalanni: i understand
[04:53:10] totalanni: sorry i dont have $ to blow like u guys all at once
[04:53:19] totalanni: and have to piece it together
[04:53:23] iamlindoro: Then Myth is not for you-- no listings, Myth useless
[04:53:26] Timrit: i gladly pay 20 bucks a year for the listings
[04:53:32] totalanni: nm
[04:53:38] totalanni: clearly you didnt understand my question
[04:53:45] iamlindoro: and EIT is no guarantee
[04:53:55] iamlindoro: meaning most likely, especially if you are using cable, you will get nothing
[04:53:58] totalanni: let me rephrase it
[04:54:07] Timrit: i thought EIT only worked in Europe
[04:54:14] wagnerrp: oh, it works over here
[04:54:18] iamlindoro: no, there is some EIT, usually on antenna
[04:54:22] [R]: Timrit: there is eit in us... but you'll get like 1 hour if that
[04:54:24] wagnerrp: but we usually only get the current and next show
[04:54:24] totalanni: if i dont want to use scheduledirect at the moment, but i atleast want to get live tv up and going, and maybe pay for it with next weeks paycheck
[04:54:29] wagnerrp: and only for broadcast
[04:54:33] totalanni: would EIT be the thing to select for now?
[04:54:38] [R]: totalanni: you should just use xine or tvtime then
[04:54:43] totalanni: ...
[04:54:48] [R]: or just wait a week?
[04:54:49] iamlindoro: no, getting the free week of Schedules direct would be
[04:54:54] [R]: or that too
[04:55:00] totalanni: ty
[04:55:01] iamlindoro: then it works for the next seven days, and gets you three total weeks of listings
[04:55:02] totalanni: nm
[04:55:06] iamlindoro: enough to get you to your paycheck
[04:55:06] wagnerrp: do you want to watch live tv? or do you want a dvr?

[11:07:11] justinh: I know this much – however mythmusic turns out after the rewrite people will still complain about it without ever bothering to think of constructive ways to improve it
[11:11:24] justinh: I suspect that when it emerges there'll be different views available, just like with mythvideo – and playlist management will be somewhat improved. pretty logical assumptions knowing what mythui can do :)
[11:14:13] justinh: and if you really think about it for a while you'll realise that managing collections of thousands of music tracks via a remote control isn't what anybody would call easy. before xbmc got its different views – i.e. when it was basically just a file browser – it was a PITA too – although I'll concede that it could use .m3u playlists
[11:17:18] justinh: maybe we'll also get the ability to use storage groups for music too.. just wait & see :-)

[15:48:24] wagnerrp: the wintv framegrabber, right?
[15:48:26] totalanni: yea
[15:48:32] totalanni: what i have done so far
[15:48:41] wagnerrp: are you sure it even still works?

[15:48:49] wagnerrp: i mean have you tested it elsewhere and confirmed that?
[15:48:57] totalanni: it detects the card and was able to scan channels
[15:49:02] totalanni: but i have yet to see a picture

[15:49:29] totalanni: ok
[15:49:30] totalanni: but
[15:49:33] wagnerrp: it means the backend is not releasing the video stream to the frontend
[15:49:42] wagnerrp: so there will be errors explaining why in the backend logs
[15:49:46] totalanni: i was reading on linuxtv about the hvr-950q
[15:50:07] totalanni: and i put a xc5000?.fw file into /lib/firmware
[15:50:08] wagnerrp: the 950q is... a framegrabber
[15:50:16] wagnerrp: you have a 950q?
[15:50:23] totalanni: now its telling me all aval inputs are in use
[15:50:24] totalanni: yes
[15:50:37] totalanni: should i just take it back
[15:50:38] wagnerrp: i thought you were trying to use some wintv pci card
[15:50:48] totalanni: i went with the usb soultion
[15:50:53] totalanni: to try to virtualize first
[15:51:10] wagnerrp: ah, ignore analog on that device entirely
[15:51:18] wagnerrp: as far as mythtv is concerned, that is a digital-only tuner
[15:51:25] totalanni: what do i select for card type?
[15:51:35] totalanni: not analog v4l capture card
[15:51:36] totalanni: i take it
[15:51:40] wagnerrp: dvb
[15:51:42] totalanni: (which is what it found)
[15:51:58] wagnerrp: it didnt find a matching card type
[15:52:04] wagnerrp: v4l is just the first one in the list
[15:52:14] totalanni: i only have dvb dtv capture card
[15:52:22] totalanni: isnt that sats?
[15:52:34] wagnerrp: no, thats anything that uses the DVB API
[15:52:40] wagnerrp: which means any digital tuner in linux
[15:52:42] totalanni: ah
[15:52:58] wagnerrp: DVB-T/S/C, ATSC, US QAM, ISDB, ...
[15:53:12] wagnerrp: theyre all 'dvb' cards as far as linux is concerned
[15:53:13] totalanni: ll
[15:53:18] totalanni: kk*
[15:53:25] totalanni: i saw the sat option and got confused
[15:53:39] totalanni: lemme try that
[15:54:07] totalanni: same error now
[15:54:21] totalanni: "error: mythtv is using all inputs, but there are no active recordings"
[15:54:26] totalanni: i think im gonna roll back
[15:54:31] totalanni: and try a fresh install
[15:54:34] totalanni: with dvb
[15:54:36] totalanni: selected
[15:59:03] totalanni: if its scanning, should that mean the card is working?
[15:59:13] totalanni: generally
[15:59:21] wagnerrp: probably
[15:59:33] wagnerrp: but the error you list usually means you have not configured it in mythtv properly
[15:59:43] totalanni: it def could tell which channel had signals and which didng
[15:59:47] wagnerrp: or the device node is inaccessible to the backend
[15:59:51] totalanni: 1 thing i noticed
[16:00:01] wagnerrp: perhaps file permissions issues
[16:00:10] totalanni: during the channel scan, it would say "adding channel #"
[16:00:21] totalanni: at the end it said "no channels found"
[16:00:27] totalanni: even thou it added the ones it found
[16:00:33] totalanni: is that normal?
[16:01:27] wagnerrp: dont know
[16:01:30] wagnerrp: never scanned analog

[16:01:50] totalanni: do i have to add multi tuners
[16:02:07] totalanni: to get it to scan qam and analog?
[16:02:09] wagnerrp: yes, you can add as many tuners as you want to mythtv
[16:02:23] totalanni: no no...im talking about for the same 950q
[16:02:43] wagnerrp: yes, those two halves of the device are exposed to linux as two independent tuners
[16:02:50] totalanni: ok
[16:03:02] wagnerrp: since they are in fact not independent, you must add them to an input group, so mythtv knows not to use both at the same time
[16:03:15] totalanni: so a custom group not the default
[16:03:24] totalanni: i thought i read something about that last night as well
[16:03:34] totalanni: but it was getting late and i wanted to confirm that with ya

[16:22:08] wagnerrp: that is common
[16:22:16] wagnerrp: 3–70 is left for analog
[16:22:25] wagnerrp: and they use digital on the higher channels so it doesnt interfere
[16:22:25] totalanni: kk
[16:22:53] totalanni: "found 1 new non-conflicting ATSC channel(s)."

[16:23:59] totalanni: so
[16:24:04] totalanni: i make a new input group
[16:24:06] totalanni: correct?
[16:24:20] totalanni: cause it takes 2? one for analog and one for qam?
[16:24:24] wagnerrp: IMHO, you should just delete the V4L tuner from mythtv
[16:24:29] wagnerrp: but thats just me
[16:27:03] totalanni: ok
[16:27:07] totalanni: so i select cardtype
[16:27:12] totalanni: dvb dtv
[16:27:24] wagnerrp: youve already done that, and scanned
[16:27:28] wagnerrp: you only have the one tuner on that card
[16:27:36] totalanni: for frontend id, it is "auvitek au8522 QAM/Subtype ATSC"
[16:27:43] totalanni: how do i get the analog?
[16:27:51] totalanni: it only scanned qam
[16:27:51] wagnerrp: like i said, you shouldnt
[16:28:16] totalanni: ok, whats the next step then?
[16:28:45] wagnerrp: make sure you have a default channel set for the digital input
[16:28:50] wagnerrp: exit setup, and start the backend
[16:28:51] totalanni: got a total of 4 channels in my editor
[16:29:01] totalanni: ?
[16:29:02] wagnerrp: are you US or canada?
[16:29:04] totalanni: us
[16:29:10] wagnerrp: then you should have a lot more than 4
[16:29:11] totalanni: are you saying im not gonna get analog channels?
[16:29:23] wagnerrp: im saying with that card, you dont want to
[16:29:27] wagnerrp: you /can/, but you shouldnt
[16:29:27] totalanni: ...
[16:29:35] totalanni: then why didnt i just go for hdhr
[16:29:35] totalanni: ?
[16:29:47] totalanni: my cable co doesnt really do QAM
[16:30:08] wagnerrp: they must at the very least rebroadcast the local 'must carry' broadcast stations
[16:30:16] totalanni: all i want is channels 3–60
[16:30:30] totalanni: i just wanna dvr nick and cartoon network for the kid
[16:30:39] wagnerrp: then you want an IVTV card
[16:31:27] wagnerrp: PVR-150/500 (PCI), HVR-1600 (PCI), HVR-2250 (PCIe), PVR-USB2, HVR-1950 (USB)

[18:14:37] iamlindoro: janneg, would really like to
[18:15:22] iamlindoro: janneg, automating creation of SGs is easy, but the only question is what about people whose backends don't have the videos mounted

[18:17:43] btwe is now known as btwe_afk
[18:18:32] iamlindoro: janneg, No, it's not-- if the user has the videos only mounted on his frontends, and we create SGs and do a scan, then it clears his metadata
[18:19:13] janneg: i.e. the backend wouldn\t have access to the local dirs either
[18:19:32] iamlindoro: janneg, Many users have the files *only* mounted on their frontend
[18:19:56] iamlindoro: if we create a video SG, and the files are not local to the BE, the files are inaccessible and any scane will clear metadata

[19:00:54] wagnerrp: how recent?
[19:00:56] devinheitmuelle1: Been there, done that.
[19:00:58] iamlindoro: Those are the supported file naming schemes for television
[19:01:13] devinheitmuelle1: Ubuntu: 0.23.0+fixes24
[19:01:16] iamlindoro: did you name them according to those schemes *before* scanning them in?
[19:01:21] iamlindoro: or did you rename them after?
[19:01:25] wagnerrp: was the image url redirect stuff for thetvdb or themoviedb?
[19:01:34] iamlindoro: tmdb
[19:01:36] devinheitmuelle1: iamlindoro: if I look at the file under MythVideo, it does show that it determined the correct series, season, and episode.
[19:01:44] devinheitmuelle1: And I did do a rescan after renaming.
[19:02:00] iamlindoro: devinheitmuelle1, ok, so mythvideo has it right-- I'm not sure which files you are referring to them?
[19:02:04] tgm4883: just fyi, that looks like 0.23 RC
[19:02:13] iamlindoro: er to then
[19:02:39] tgm4883: just in case ^ matters to the issue devinheitmuelle1 is having
[19:02:42] devinheitmuelle1: Well, presumably if mythvideo knows the series, season, and episode, then it can query tmdb for all the other info (subtitle name, director, image, etc)
[19:02:51] iamlindoro: right-- did you download metadata?
[19:02:53] devinheitmuelle1: tgm4883: it's whatever is the current package in Ubuntu.
[19:02:53] matt1982_: hmm is there a log file for lircd? when I try to restart it I get a FAIL for "Starting remote control daemon"
[19:02:56] iamlindoro: ie, highlight the item, press w
[19:03:00] devinheitmuelle1: iamlindoro: is that a separate step?
[19:03:03] iamlindoro: yes
[19:03:07] iamlindoro: well, in .23 anyway
[19:03:08] devinheitmuelle1: iamlindoro: ah. Ok.
[19:03:10] iamlindoro: not in trunk
[19:03:15] devinheitmuelle1: iamlindoro: and what is that step entail?
[19:03:18] iamlindoro: in trunk the metadata is grabbed at scan time
[19:03:33] devinheitmuelle1: ok, let me try...
[19:03:43] iamlindoro: runs the grabber scripts with the DB information for title, season, and episode, returns the XML for all the metadata and locations of images, downlaods images
[19:04:05] matt1982_: sorry do I need to be registered to speak in channel?
[19:04:10] wagnerrp: no
[19:04:21] wagnerrp: we all just prefer to avoid lirc

[19:04:23] devinheitmuelle1: Yeah, working now.
[19:04:30] iamlindoro: was always working :)
[19:04:47] matt1982_: haha wagnerrp yeah know the feeling, I havent been here before so wasn't sure if I needed to be logged in
[19:04:53] devinheitmuelle1: Well, I don't have "w" mapped to my remote control.  ;-)
[19:05:15] wagnerrp: devinheitmuelle1: with a couple more keypresses, you can get to it through the 'i' (info) menu
[19:05:15] devinheitmuelle1: Hmm, looks like it got the image for the series, but not for the actual episode (even though the series does have per-episode images).
[19:05:18] iamlindoro: devinheitmuelle1, as tgm4883 mentiones, though, you are using a pre-.23 copy-- which means it does not have fixes for TMDB's (movies) redirect images-- you will want to get to current .23-fixes or .23.1
[19:05:29] devinheitmuelle1: fair enough.
[19:05:38] devinheitmuelle1: This is probably "good enough" for now.
[19:05:40] devinheitmuelle1: thanks guys.
[19:05:43] iamlindoro: devinheitmuelle1, does the screenshot dir you set exist?
[19:06:00] iamlindoro: and/or if you are hosting the videos in a storage group, did you create the screenshots SGs
[19:06:01] devinheitmuelle1: Well, presumably all this got pre-configured when I installed the mythbuntu packages.
[19:06:10] iamlindoro: That is probably too large a presumption
[19:06:12] devinheitmuelle1: I am getting the season specific image – just not the episode specific image.
[19:06:32] devinheitmuelle1: (e.g. – it is showing the "Season 7 boxset cover image")
[19:06:35] iamlindoro: presumably you mean you are getting the coverart and fanart, but not the screenshot
[19:06:40] iamlindoro: all are discrete
[19:06:52] iamlindoro: Myth downloads all of them, all are available to the themer
[19:06:52] devinheitmuelle1: Yes. This would presumably be coverart.
[19:07:00] iamlindoro: you are getting covereart
[19:07:09] iamlindoro: you are, to listen to it, not getting screenshots
[19:07:21] tgm4883: SG and SG directories are set up during a mythbuntu install
[19:07:35] iamlindoro: So it sounds as though you have not configured a screenshots SG (if your videos are SG hosted) or not created the Screenshots dir (if they are locally hosted)
[19:07:58] devinheitmuelle1: sounds like it.
[19:08:21] devinheitmuelle1: This is all local.
[19:08:51] iamlindoro: If you are using local, then you need to check your Screenshots dir (Utilities/Setup->Setup->Media Settings->Video Settings->General) and make sure it is filled in, and exists
[19:09:01] devinheitmuelle1: It' possible that the default mythbuntu theme simply doesn't render the screenshot.
[19:09:04] iamlindoro: and is writable by the FE user
[19:09:04] devinheitmuelle1: ... checking...
[19:09:10] iamlindoro: yes, it is possible
[19:09:18] iamlindoro: Arclight uses screenshots, could try switching to that
[19:09:36] iamlindoro: Arclight will use Fanart, Coverart, and screenshot (but not banners), etc.
[19:10:07] iamlindoro: if all is well, you will see something like "Lost 6x1_screenshot.png" in that dir... and that just means that your theme doesn't use screenshots
[19:10:52] devinheitmuelle1: Ah, screenshots are being populated.
[19:10:53] devinheitmuelle1: interesting.
[19:11:20] kormoc_afk is now known as kormoc
[19:12:47] devinheitmuelle1: Yeah, the correct image is in that directory, but not being rendered. Good enough. I don't have anymore time to really play with this now since I'm at work (this was a lunch hour project).
[19:13:05] iamlindoro: well, it's not that it's not being rendered, it's that your themer chose not to use it
[19:13:09] iamlindoro: if you'd like to see it, try Arclight
[19:14:50] devinheitmuelle1: fair enough.
[19:15:12] devinheitmuelle1: Admittedly I haven't played with the themes; just using whatever default came with Mythbuntu.
[19:15:33] iamlindoro: interestingly, nobody has ever complained that I disabled the ability to choose which artwork gets downloaded-- I expected major uproar :)
[19:15:54] iamlindoro: that is to say, disabled the ability to turn of screenshot downloads, fanart downloads, etc.
[19:16:02] ** tgm4883 files a complaint to iamlindoro **
[19:16:12] iamlindoro: was a long time ago :)
[19:16:23] ** tgm4883 files a retroactive complaint to iamlindoro **
[19:16:27] devinheitmuelle1: I'm happy enough – metadata was rendered, and there was "some image" shown rather than a blank screen.
[19:16:28] iamlindoro: I think it was even pre-.22
[19:16:37] ** tgm4883 files a prehistoric complaint to iamlindoro **
[19:16:40] iamlindoro: hah
[19:16:43] wagnerrp: you used to be able to select which artwork you wanted?
[19:16:54] iamlindoro: you used to be able to set a command for each artwork type
[19:17:00] wagnerrp: oh, that

[19:20:50] iamlindoro: devinheitmuelle1, it is not yet
[19:20:58] devinheitmuelle1: ok, good to know.
[19:21:08] iamlindoro: though there is a ticket that goes part of the way there, and we are trying to figure out if some form of it will be feasible for .24
[19:21:23] devinheitmuelle1: For example, if I were working on a UPnP client to browse the videos, would the metadata get rendered....
[19:21:55] wagnerrp: as it stands, the upnp server currently does not access any of the mythvideo database tables
[19:22:05] iamlindoro: yeah, all that it would give right now would be the filename
[19:22:09] devinheitmuelle1: ok.
[19:22:27] iamlindoro: we are literally in the midst of discussiong how to move mythvideo into the core, and to make the uPnP server rely on that metadata
[19:22:33] iamlindoro: and whether we can manage it for .24
[19:22:38] wagnerrp: it performs its own directory scan on content in directories listed by the VideoStartupDir, so it doesnt use storage groups either
[19:22:50] devinheitmuelle1: ah.
[19:22:54] devinheitmuelle1: Yeah, that makes sense.
[19:23:03] wagnerrp: so if you want to mess around with upnp
[19:23:13] wagnerrp: you need to define that setting on the backend hosting the upnp server
[19:23:20] iamlindoro: devinheitmuelle1, if it is *not* done for .24, it will definitely be so for .25
[19:23:29] wagnerrp: either through the database, or within mythvideo on that frontend directly

[19:23:51] devinheitmuelle1: yes.
[19:23:52] devinheitmuelle1: :-)
[19:23:55] Gibby: did I see someon working/fixing the UPNP client?
[19:23:55] iamlindoro: ha
[19:24:30] wagnerrp: Gibby: there are two people currently working on it, some plans, and a patch or two in trac
[19:24:57] Gibby: warnerrp: What about adding a transcode option to it :)
[19:25:10] wagnerrp: not at current
[19:25:23] iamlindoro: Gibby, if you've got the patches, we've got the commit access
[19:25:43] iamlindoro: devinheitmuelle1, How how is mkrufky's prognosis? Is he going to make it?
[19:25:47] Gibby: i wish i knew how to do it, but i don't think it would be hard to use ffmpeg to do it
[19:25:57] iamlindoro: Gibby, You are mistaken
[19:26:01] devinheitmuelle1: iamlindoro: if he's sick, that would be news to me.
[19:26:07] iamlindoro: everything seems easy to those who have no idea how to do it
[19:26:16] wagnerrp: Gibby: using 'ffmpeg' directly would not be the way to do it
[19:26:24] iamlindoro: devinheitmuelle1, I just wondered whether he was going to make it through his awful IRC allergy he's developed ;)
[19:26:36] devinheitmuelle1: he's just been very busy lately.
[19:26:43] Gibby: well ihave done some command line stuff with ffmpeg to transcode but i suck at scripting
[19:27:05] iamlindoro: Gibby, scripting isn't how one would do it
[19:27:28] Gibby: correct, but if you can't script you can't build
[19:27:31] wagnerrp: you would have to add new transcoding classes to mythbackend
[19:27:32] iamlindoro: one needs to write C++ code using livavcode and libavformat to accomplish the transcodes
[19:27:32] devinheitmuelle1: Transcoding is rather difficult to do when doing streaming. Ask yourself how trick controls like rewind would work.
[19:27:39] iamlindoro: I can't write a script to save my life, I'm a myth dev
[19:28:09] wagnerrp: or even seeking for that matter
[19:28:40] devinheitmuelle1: If you were prepared to do your transcoding to some predefined size as a batch process, you could probably get away with ffmpeg. But most people don't want to use up all the storage of having multiple copies of their streams.
[19:28:59] wagnerrp: devinheitmuelle1: thats actually the near term plan
[19:29:12] wagnerrp: for early in the 0.25 cycle
[19:29:28] devinheitmuelle1: wagnerrp: makes sense for the short term – you do it similar to the way commercial cutting works.
[19:29:47] iamlindoro: devinheitmuelle1, we're very shortly to begin a major DB overhaul, and part of that will be allowing one to keep many different files associated with a single recording or video record, including "profiles" of transcoded versions-- so it will mostly obviate the need for a transcoding uPnP server
[19:30:02] iamlindoro: bah, too busy writing to read
[19:30:09] Gibby: well right now i use ps3mediaserver to stream/encode to my clients
[19:30:42] Gibby: i like it b/c i can have small HD files TV about 1Gb for 1hr TV show
[19:30:42] wagnerrp: devinheitmuelle1: commercial cutting of transport streams is 'easy', literally just chopping off bits of the video
[19:30:50] wagnerrp: the problem is fixing the time codes
[19:30:57] wagnerrp: something beirdo and i are currently both struggling with

[20:56:13] GadgetWisdomGuru: Okay.
[20:56:16] wagnerrp: rather than asking your question directly
[20:56:18] iamlindoro: TTBOMK the rpmfusion ones are the ones to go with these days, not least of which because they are spec'ed by a Myth dev

[20:57:55] iamlindoro: Not sure what the thing to do is there, I'm afraid, not a fedora user
[20:58:05] iamlindoro: could package that one yourself I suppose

[20:58:11] iamlindoro: and/or just compile and isntall
[20:58:14] GadgetWisdomGuru: I guess I'll give it a shot.
[20:59:36] GadgetWisdomGuru: I just hate to have to reformat 3 separate systems to clean out the atrpms rpms.

[23:29:11] spinull: ?
[23:29:20] spinull: do tell, cause im confused now
[23:29:34] spinull: im pretty sure i purchased 5500's
[23:29:37] iamlindoro: dmesg says you have hd5500s, but fact: you *cannot* cat the video node from an HD5500 and get playable video, not without putting something like mencoder in between it and playback
[23:29:57] spinull: vlc can do screen capture right?
[23:30:05] iamlindoro: wouldn't know
[23:30:17] spinull: i think it can, i'll demonstrate
[23:30:47] wagnerrp: also, for mythtv, its best to stick with the proprietary nvidia drivers
[23:31:05] spinull: good to know, thanks
[23:31:32] spinull: first time iv turned this thing on in awhile, ( i just moved)
[23:35:23] spinull: hhmm
[23:35:46] spinull: anywho, whats with the input/output error on /dev/video0
[23:35:57] spinull: nevermind
[23:36:01] spinull: we covered that
[23:36:05] Beirdo: OK, Haribo gummy bears commercial... evil
[23:36:11] spinull: "i can't do that"
[23:37:26] iamlindoro: correct
[23:38:42] spinull: you're not crazy
[23:38:44] spinull: i am
[23:38:49] iamlindoro: correct
[23:38:50] spinull: we'll just leave it at that

[23:42:07] spinull: what can you tell me about that
[23:43:21] iamlindoro: Probably a lot more if we didn't have to play "tell me what my problem is with no information, readysetgo!"
[23:43:51] spinull: mythfrontend just closes when i try to watch livetv,
[23:44:34] iamlindoro: Minimally, you have audio misconfigured-- whether the backedn is misconfigured too would depend on the backend logs

[23:50:03] phil_42: wagnerrp: do you know someone doing the schedule ui?
[23:50:23] wagnerrp: what do you mean?
[23:51:13] phil_42: if you know who coded the schedule recordings part from the guide
[23:51:44] wagnerrp: probably stuartm
[23:51:56] wagnerrp: that all got rewritten about a year and a half ago
[23:52:08] phil_42: hm ok
[23:52:52] phil_42: as i did a lot of backend work in my past i got an idea for improving it
[23:53:08] iamlindoro: phil_42, If you have an idea that you actually want implemented, it will need to come with a patch
[23:53:09] phil_42: in many ways
[23:53:43] phil_42: well, iamlindoro, are you the maintainer?
[23:54:04] iamlindoro: I am one of several people who does UI stuff
[23:54:15] iamlindoro: we are not lacking good ideas, we are lacking good patches
[23:54:31] phil_42: the last time i did a patch it was just commted by nice idea, won't come into code, bye
[23:54:53] iamlindoro: What patch was that?
[23:55:12] phil_42: i won't do that again (although some people actually worked on the patch after me and included it)
[23:55:21] iamlindoro: what patch was that?
[23:55:36] phil_42: so patching without discussing is not my way
[23:55:43] iamlindoro: what patch was that?
[23:55:56] phil_42: fluxbox patch, not a big deal
[23:56:04] iamlindoro: what does fluxbox have to do with us?
[23:56:37] phil_42: well, let me quote you [01:53:09] <iamlindoro> phil_42, If you have an idea that you actually want implemented, it will need to come with a patch
[23:56:46] iamlindoro: yes, and that's still correct
[23:56:58] iamlindoro: If you want to talk about your idea, we can talk about it with you
[23:57:05] iamlindoro: but if you want it implemented, you will need to do it
[23:57:08] phil_42: without a discussion on peculiarities of it, i won't code a minute
[23:57:29] phil_42: without discussion no way
[23:57:51] iamlindoro: like I said, we are willing to discuss your idea with you

[23:57:59] phil_42: if i've got to deliver it straight ahead, there's much too much overhead for the part which simply was not in discussion
[23:58:02] iamlindoro: we just aren't willing to do the work for you
[23:58:15] phil_42: i know that
[23:58:21] phil_42: read again please
[23:58:25] iamlindoro: So, go ahead, let's discuss
[23:58:32] phil_42: alright
[23:58:38] iamlindoro: then if it sounds like we're open to it, you can go write the patch
