[00:01:14] NeosVortex: well I'll keep looking for it
[00:01:18] NeosVortex: a find only found one directory
[00:01:18] NeosVortex: -.-
[00:01:25] NeosVortex: with mythweb in it
[00:01:46] NeosVortex: thanks for oyur help iamlindoro
[00:01:52] iamlindoro: you are welcome
[00:02:06] NeosVortex: anyone know if hdhomerun with cablecard might potentially work with myth?
[00:02:18] iamlindoro: It already works with myth
[00:02:26] iamlindoro: HDHR engineers are myth users
[00:02:43] iamlindoro: with the obvious limitation that it will only work with copy freely channels
[00:02:51] NeosVortex: i thought the decryption wasn't going to be available for anything but windows 7
[00:02:58] NeosVortex: ah
[00:03:07] iamlindoro: You're confusing decryption and DRM
[00:03:31] iamlindoro: copy freely channels can be and often are encrypted
[00:03:49] NeosVortex: what would be an example of copy freely channels
[00:03:54] iamlindoro: copy once or copy never channels are encrypted AND have DRM flags preventing their being recorded in the clear or shared between devices
[00:03:57] NeosVortex: would USA / ESPN fall into those categories?
[00:03:57] kormoc: What is up with the sudden popularity of these devices
[00:04:11] iamlindoro: Impossible to tell you by callsign what channels will be copy freely
[00:04:16] kormoc: NeosVortex, no, your local broadcast channels might tho
[00:04:23] NeosVortex: local broadcast is no problem
[00:04:28] markk (markk!~mark@srv120.dedicated.netrino.co.uk) has quit (Ping timeout: 265 seconds)
[00:04:32] iamlindoro: especially as flags are per-show, not per channel, and because it will differ from company to company, and from town to town within the same company
[00:04:34] NeosVortex: was just hoping to get other things
[00:04:49] iamlindoro: You may be lucky enough to get everything but premium channels, you might get nothing
[00:04:52] NeosVortex: One of my friends at work had told me he was able to capture output from his samsung via firewire, is he bsing me or not?
[00:05:00] iamlindoro: you'll need to test or wait for someone to test to find out
[00:05:01] NeosVortex: *samsung stp
[00:05:07] NeosVortex: through comcast
[00:05:13] iamlindoro: firewire capture is possible, with similar sorts of limitations
[00:05:36] iamlindoro: ie, it will work and then not work from one program to the next, and differ wildly between company and market
[00:05:52] iamlindoro: You could live someplace where enarly everything is copy free, you could live somewhere where not even the locals are
[00:06:05] NeosVortex: That seems frustrating
[00:06:09] NeosVortex: luckily our local stuff is free
[00:06:23] kormoc: NeosVortex, so get a HDPVR and enjoy it all?
[00:06:39] NeosVortex: Myth is free
[00:06:46] NeosVortex: easier to justify
[00:06:48] kormoc: and the sky is blue
[00:06:58] iamlindoro: myth is free, but the hardware to run it is not
[00:06:59] kormoc: NeosVortex, the HDPVR is a capture device for myth
[00:07:16] NeosVortex: I have a hd-homerun for my capture device
[00:07:33] kormoc: and I own a car. not sure why that matters
[00:07:33] iamlindoro: and kormoc is suggesting a more capablecapture device
[00:08:04] kormoc: NeosVortex, you're talking about buying a new capture device (HDHRP) anyway, so why not buy one that will get you all your channels?
[00:08:13] NeosVortex: that's why i was asking about hd-homerun with cablecard, because wouldn't that get you all the channels?
[00:08:26] kormoc: NeosVortex, no, it won't
[00:08:27] iamlindoro: no, it will get you all the copy freely channels
[00:08:31] NeosVortex: alright
[00:08:40] NeosVortex: sorry for talking in circles still trying to get my head around all of this
[00:09:08] NeosVortex: and I've actually done a bit of reading on these topics

[00:32:35] wagnerrp: which really only has any bearing if he is using the same cable franchise
[00:38:41] Beirdo: dagnabit.
[00:38:51] Beirdo: BBC7 is no longer airing Goon Show
[00:38:57] Beirdo: or so it seems
[00:40:17] wagnerrp: mozilla plans to release versions 4–7 before the end of 2011
[00:40:20] wagnerrp: ... why?
[00:40:44] NeosVortex: wagnerrp he uses the same
[00:41:09] Beirdo: Broadcast Thu, 13 Jan 2011, 19:00 on BBC Radio 7 but not available on BBC iPlayer.
[00:41:12] Beirdo: BAH
[00:41:17] Beirdo: stupid BBC
[00:43:07] Newbuntu81: LOL. I love BBC America--Top Gear!
[00:43:08] kormoc: wagnerrp, moar numbers is betterz
[00:43:10] sphery: wagnerrp: why release verion 4.7 before the end of 2011?
[00:43:24] sphery: seems a sensible thing to do, IMHO
[00:43:53] wagnerrp: sphery: no.. theyre going to release Firefox 4, Firefox 5, Firefox 6, and Firefox 7 this year
[00:43:57] wagnerrp: not 4.7
[00:44:07] wagnerrp: four-through-seven
[00:44:14] Beirdo: seems they bloody well axed iPlayer for Radio
[00:44:15] sphery: sure that's not a typo?
[00:44:27] sphery: but, hey, when Chrome is v9...
[00:44:28] wagnerrp: https://wiki.mozilla.org/Firefox/Roadmap#Product_Roadmap
[00:44:46] Twigg: hey sphery can you check and see what your listing says is on at 7pm tonight? House or Human Target
[00:45:04] wagnerrp: Twigg: i bet his listing says neither
[00:45:16] Twigg: different timezone?
[00:45:23] ekristen (ekristen!~ekristen@pool-71-163-178-57.washdc.fios.verizon.net) has joined #mythtv-users
[00:45:27] ekristen: wagnerrp: you around?
[00:45:32] wagnerrp: yep
[00:45:35] sphery: Twigg: it says The Simpsons :)
[00:45:36] Twigg: Ohh I meant fox btw
[00:45:43] sphery: Twigg: but at 8:00 it's House: Family Practice
[00:45:56] ** sphery is neither Central, nor Mountain **
[00:45:57] Twigg: Fox just said that human target is on tonight
[00:46:02] kormoc: sphery, it's not a typo, https://wiki.mozilla.org/Firefox/Roadmap
[00:46:14] ekristen: do you have an example of how to use 0.24, seems that its behavior might be a little different then the previous versions?
[00:46:17] ** wagnerrp points kormoc at 2 minutes ago **
[00:46:25] wagnerrp: how to use 0.24....
[00:46:31] wagnerrp: youre going to have to elaborate on that one
[00:46:32] kormoc: whoops
[00:46:35] sphery: wagnerrp: he was just repeating it for emphasis
[00:46:44] sphery: and I now feel doubly-corrected!
[00:46:59] pizzledizzle (pizzledizzle!~pizdets@pool-96-250-215-244.nycmny.fios.verizon.net) has joined #mythtv-users
[00:47:01] ekristen: wagnerrp: make the db and be connection or rather instantiate it ..
[00:47:07] ekristen: let me pastebin some code
[00:47:13] wagnerrp: same way as before
[00:47:19] wagnerrp: db = MythDB(); be = MythBE()
[00:47:22] sphery: Twigg: "just said"? as in a commercial on TV?
[00:47:28] Twigg: correct
[00:48:29] ekristen: wagnerrp: hrm, line 72 of mythproto.py errors out on "self.host = self.db.settings.NULL.MasterServerIP"
[00:49:04] wagnerrp: ekristen: then somehow you have never run mythtv-setup
[00:49:16] ekristen: well I just did upgrade
[00:49:21] sphery: Twigg: well, if that's the case, TMS doesn't know about the change, yet
[00:49:32] sphery: guess you'll just have to record it and update the title/subtitle as required :)
[00:49:32] wagnerrp: even upgrading, your old settings should remain
[00:49:44] sphery: (and allow re-record if it doesn't get a House episode you want)
[00:49:49] Twigg: Or maybe fox was wrong, tongith was supposed to be the season finale I think
[00:49:50] gregL (gregL!~greg@cpe-74-76-125-87.nycap.res.rr.com) has joined #mythtv-users
[00:50:01] wagnerrp: ekristen: that line is just pulling the master backend address, which must be set in any function mythtv installation
[00:50:03] sphery: Twigg: and so will I--so thanks for the warning (I record both House and Human Target)
[00:50:22] ekristen: thats why I was a little confused ... I'll go rerun mythtv-setup
[00:50:27] wagnerrp: is it possible your config.xml is pointing at an empty database?
[00:50:31] kormoc: Twigg, fox.com says house
[00:50:33] Twigg: Thats what I figured, I knew you had about as many channels as I did and that you watched basically the same as me ;)
[00:50:36] wagnerrp: is your backend actually running?
[00:50:48] wagnerrp: without that value set, the backend should error out immediately as well
[00:50:51] ekristen: no, I am manually specifying the dbconn dict variable
[00:50:51] sphery: kormoc: https://wiki.mozilla.org/Firefox/Roadmap#How_to_ship_faster ... um, for Internet-distributed code, wouldn't that just be a matter of buying a larger-bandwidth 'net connection or providing more mirrors?
[00:50:58] Twigg: I wonder if it was the wrong commercial, since I think tonight is the house season finale
[00:51:20] ekristen: wagnerrp: mythbackend is running
[00:51:21] kormoc: sphery, oh, for sure
[00:51:33] ekristen: and I am using this python library on another machine, not on the backend itself, just fyi
[00:51:41] ekristen: but I have verified all database connections and permissions
[00:51:51] wagnerrp: ekristen: only other thing i can think of is youre forcing it to a different database than the backend is running off of
[00:52:16] kormoc: sphery, wow, "No more than 50ms delay between user action and application reaction". That's unpossible! I can always put a 200ms timer in my app!
[00:52:36] ekristen: wagnerrp: there is only a single database
[00:52:41] ekristen: I checked that out
[00:53:03] wagnerrp: log into the database that you are specifying with the 'mysql' client
[00:53:18] ekristen: done
[00:53:27] wagnerrp: and run 'select data from settings where value="MasterBackendIP" and hostname is NULL;'
[00:54:05] wagnerrp: erm
[00:54:06] ekristen: nice, its empty
[00:54:13] wagnerrp: 'select data from settings where value="MasterServerIP" and hostname is NULL;'
[00:54:36] sphery: kormoc: heh, would be nice when Trac or Github DoS my Firefox... Can't close the browser tab or window--only kill the process--before it says, "This page is running a script that's taking too long, what do you want to do?" (which normally happens about the time the script is finishing, but I don't notice it for several minutes, then I have to hit Continue, then wait a bit--even though it's been waiting minutes for me to say to let it run...)
[00:55:17] ekristen: there we go
[00:55:21] ekristen: that worked
[00:55:34] ekristen: MasterServerIP is good to go
[00:55:39] ekristen: not MasterBackendIP
[00:55:50] wagnerrp: right, MasterBackendIP is nothing
[00:55:53] kormoc: sphery, http://kb.mozillazine.org/Dom.max_script_run_time
[00:55:57] wagnerrp: its MasterServerIP and BackendServerIP
[00:56:18] wagnerrp: ekristen: and that returned a value?
[00:56:26] ekristen: the second query did
[00:56:49] sphery: kormoc: I do wonder about, "TODO: Process change suggestions (w/Shaver)" I suppose they're trying to get rid of the *nix-y air of their developers... No scraggly beards!
[00:56:50] wagnerrp: could i see the actual backtrace?
[00:57:06] ekristen: sure
[00:57:07] Newbuntu81: I'm having trouble compiling a driver. I get 2 errors (from the log). Are these known issues? And how might I fix them? Errors are: 1) 'usb_buffer_free' AND 2) 'usb_buffer_alloc
[00:57:08] ekristen: one second
[00:57:43] kormoc: Newbuntu81, your kernel is too new, you can fix them or you can downgrade your kernel
[00:57:44] ekristen: http://pastebin.ca/2044388
[00:57:46] kormoc: sphery, heh, aye
[00:58:12] sphery: kormoc: there's no way it's stopping mine after 10s... Maybe 10s of JS CPU time when the JS engine time doesn't count or something
[00:58:19] sphery: it takes /minutes/ for that popup to show
[00:58:26] kormoc: wow
[00:58:28] NeosVortex (NeosVortex!~NeosVorte@c-24-23-78-75.hsd1.mi.comcast.net) has quit ()
[00:58:35] sphery: (my max_script_run_time is set to 10s, the default)
[00:58:44] wagnerrp: minutes? i think it takes like 30 seconds for me
[00:59:20] sphery: assuming the about:config max_script_run_time is the same as dom.max_script_run_time, which doesn't appear under about:config
[00:59:30] kormoc: yeah
[00:59:31] wagnerrp: ekristen: this is 0.24?
[01:00:23] ekristen: the backend or the library?
[01:00:31] wagnerrp: python
[01:00:44] Twigg: it's house
[01:01:04] _cal_: how do I fix all these 'error opening jump program file buffer' random errors when switching to HD channels?
[01:01:23] ekristen: downloaded this tarball from github ... https://github.com/MythTV/mythtv/zipball/v0.24 ... and grabbed the bindings from there
[01:03:36] wagnerrp: yeah, that should be returning None, not erroring
[01:04:12] rushfan (rushfan!~rushfan@c-71-232-0-154.hsd1.ma.comcast.net) has quit (Ping timeout: 246 seconds)

[01:06:29] Dave123 (Dave123!~dave@cpe-74-74-222-96.rochester.res.rr.com) has quit (Quit: Leaving)
[01:06:51] kormoc is now known as kormoc_afk
[01:07:23] Newbuntu81: <kormoc> Newbuntu81, your kernel is too new, you can fix them or you can downgrade your kernel
[01:07:56] Newbuntu81: Anyone know what version I should downgrade my Mythbuntu to? 2.6.34? 2.6.31?
[01:08:18] wagnerrp: i would look to see if there are updated drivers first
[01:08:40] ekristen: what do I need to do to fix this? something in the python code or in my database?
[01:09:03] wagnerrp: if 'mysql' used with the same settings you are feeding python worked
[01:09:08] wagnerrp: then its got to be something in python
[01:09:08] sphery: I purposefully started a DoS with 6e17b4de, and it took 45s to pup up the busy script dialog
[01:09:12] wagnerrp: but reading through the python code
[01:09:25] sphery: so not as bad as I thought, but still >> 10s
[01:09:30] ekristen: alright, I'll take a look see if I can understand the flow of things
[01:09:31] wagnerrp: i cant come up with any explanation of how you could be getting that error in that place
[01:09:40] sphery: then I hit continue, and it finished within 3s
[01:09:51] sphery: (3s wall time)
[01:10:02] wagnerrp: youre calling __getattr__ to get the 'MasterServerIP'
[01:10:10] wagnerrp: which is in turn calling __getitem__
[01:10:48] wagnerrp: and that will either cache the proper value, and return it
[01:10:52] wagnerrp: or return None
[01:11:00] _cal_: oh okay it appears this "error opening jump program file buffer" ticket 9177 is a known problem so have to wait for a fix.
[01:11:55] ekristen: hrm
[01:12:16] wagnerrp: sphery: thats the change for the programinfo refactor
[01:12:17] wagnerrp: wrong one?
[01:12:43] ekristen: why is it calling NULL in the variable?
[01:12:47] ekristen: self.db.settings.NULL.MasterServerIP
[01:13:08] wagnerrp: because NULL is the value mysql uses for an empty field
[01:13:14] ekristen: ah, gotcha
[01:13:17] ekristen: fair enough
[01:13:23] wagnerrp: theres no hostname for the setting, so rather than "", its NULL
[01:13:34] wagnerrp: and None already has other meaning
[01:13:51] wagnerrp: looking at this further, its erroring on line 27 of altdict.py
[01:14:12] wagnerrp: it should never have a keyerror
[01:14:31] wagnerrp: yeah, i cant see any program flow that would cause this
[01:14:55] ekristen: yeah the code looks solid to me too, so must be a database issue?
[01:14:59] ekristen: unless ...
[01:15:16] wagnerrp: OrdDict.__getitem__ and __contains__ are never altered
[01:15:22] ekristen: I swapped out MySQLdb library for a pure python based mysql library, but I doubt that should have any affect on it
[01:15:28] ekristen: because the database connection works fine
[01:15:41] ekristen: its just when I go to instantiate the mythtv.MythBE that it fails
[01:15:44] wagnerrp: and if im calling __setitem__, it should be setting something there
[01:16:05] oobe (oobe!~thingo@unaffiliated/oobe) has quit (Read error: Connection reset by peer)
[01:16:54] oobe (oobe!~thingo@unaffiliated/oobe) has joined #mythtv-users
[01:17:01] wagnerrp: the only thing i can think of is its failing elsewhere in an unforeseen manner, that just happens to also raise a KeyError
[01:17:19] wagnerrp: could you add the line 'raise' to altdict.py:27
[01:17:30] ekristen: sure thing one second ...
[01:17:32] wagnerrp: just a blank raise to pass the error up in taht try block, rather than create a new error
[01:17:58] ekristen: raise is already on line 27
[01:18:08] wagnerrp: yeah, just insert a line 'raise'
[01:18:14] ekristen: ah sorry, misread
[01:18:21] wagnerrp: it will reraise the existing error, with the existing traceback
[01:18:27] wagnerrp: rather than generating a new one
[01:19:08] ekristen: http://pastebin.ca/2044392
[01:20:12] ekristen: yup I understand, just misread what you had typed
[01:21:15] wagnerrp: that line number is wrong
[01:21:48] ekristen: on what?
[01:21:59] wagnerrp: the last error
[01:22:06] wagnerrp: database.py:877
[01:22:38] wagnerrp: the original release https://github.com/MythTV/mythtv/blob/v0.24/m . . . /database.py
[01:22:58] ekristen: yeah I have some debug code that I was trying to figure out what was going on
[01:23:03] wagnerrp: and latest on the -fixes branch https://github.com/MythTV/mythtv/blob/fixes/0 . . . /database.py

[01:32:23] ekristen: yes
[01:32:34] ekristen: let me try something
[01:32:44] wagnerrp: double percent means when you do substitution, replace it with a single percent
[01:32:53] wagnerrp: so when you do substitution again, it gets substituted
[01:32:57] ekristen: gotcha
[01:33:10] ekristen: let me print out the query that is being executed
[01:33:23] wagnerrp: 'MythLog._setlevel("all")'
[01:34:34] wagnerrp: sphery: any idea why you wouldnt you be able to schedule something to record on HBO?
[01:34:39] wagnerrp: they move to all VOD or something?

[01:35:10] nutron: Any way known to have a recording rule show its matched results?
[01:35:16] nutron: ie. in the schedule?
[01:35:33] wagnerrp: nutron: yes... sorta
[01:35:33] nutron: I assume some sql seksi is required?
[01:35:45] nutron: wagnerrp: how?
[01:35:57] wagnerrp: the programinfo struct returned by the backend includes the recording rule set to record it
[01:36:07] wagnerrp: you can then match up that rule to the database
[01:36:32] wagnerrp: https://github.com/MythTV/mythtv/blob/master/ . . . aheap.py#L55
[01:36:35] nutron: when is it returned by the backend? or do I call a function?

[01:42:29] ekristen: wagnerrp: self._where is "hostname is NULL" and key is "MasterServerIP"

[05:48:01] sphery: basically, my plan is to just remove the recorder function and job queue function from mythbackend and have them be one or 2 other apps... all the master-backend-only stuff would be a different app (scheduler, data access, etc.), and there's be a single app that the init script starts (mythtv?) that starts the required other apps (so, if they have defined capture cards, the recorder part gets started; if they have enabled jobs on the ...
[05:48:06] sphery: ... host, the job part is started; ...)

[05:49:21] sphery: oh, and on the host designated as the master backend host, it would also start the scheduler, data acces, ... part
[05:50:08] sphery: I don't have any details on how it would decide if it should start the one-host-only "master backend" scheduler, data access, ... part
[05:50:40] sphery: initially I had planned to just keep doing it like we are now--based on the IP address specified for mbe in the database
[05:54:22] wagnerrp: i think the data access should stick with the recorder
[05:54:36] wagnerrp: unless the recorder is only going to be spawned at record time, and then close
[05:56:15] sphery: eventually, there will be only one process accessing the DB
[05:56:24] sphery: it has to be with the scheduler
[05:56:39] wagnerrp: by data access, i meant file access
[05:56:40] sphery: s/has to be/should be/
[05:56:48] sphery: oh, yeah, that's files, not data :)
[05:57:01] wagnerrp: files are data, just not the data base
[05:57:05] sphery: heh
[05:57:22] sphery: yeah, well I left out file stuff since you seem to be on top of that
[05:57:49] wagnerrp: im just writing a module to handle it, not what will provide it
[05:57:51] sphery: but we do need file access even on systems without recorders
[05:58:18] sphery: for mythvideo files, etc.
[05:58:26] wagnerrp: right, im going to use a separate file server as a test case for developing and testing this library

[06:24:17] mikey_: *how
[06:24:27] wagnerrp: it can be found in ~/.mythtv

[06:36:04] wagnerrp: probably stalled trying to update the mythmusic schema
[06:36:07] mikey_: doesn't it?
[06:36:25] wagnerrp: it backs up the database, then waits for all other users to terminate
[06:36:28] mikey_: I see, can I get it to skip the mythmusic plugin altogether?
[06:36:37] mikey_: I dont use it

[06:37:17] wagnerrp: go ahead and delete mythmovies while youre at it

[07:03:43] wagnerrp: but leave in a hook to allow handlers to decide at some later point to disconnect and run standalone
[07:04:19] wagnerrp: with the intent being it could be used for automatic failover at some point
[07:05:14] sphery: danielk wants auto failover
[07:05:25] sphery: I'm not so much a fan of the idea, though
[07:05:29] wagnerrp: my only problem with autofailover is what to do with the database
[07:05:38] sphery: yeah
[07:05:47] wagnerrp: nearly everyone locates the database on the same system as their MBE
[07:05:48] sphery: plus, who's to say that the mbe did fail
[07:05:57] sphery: maybe it's just a network issue that's temporary
[07:06:17] sphery: and the replicated db's on all hosts is a crazy plan\
[07:06:20] sphery: and way too complex
[07:06:31] sphery: especially cleaning up the aftermath
[07:06:44] sphery: now that we've failed over to a different host, how do we sync up everything after
[07:06:58] sphery: especially if 2 systems were acting as master at the same time

[07:07:48] wagnerrp: the only way i could see it happening is if you had a scheduler/database process that ran on each machine
[07:08:09] wagnerrp: when you start them up, they decide automatically who will serve as the master and do scheduler duties
[07:08:21] wagnerrp: all database calls are automatically duplicated on all running machines
[07:08:32] sphery: until the network glitch
[07:08:35] sphery: then things diverge
[07:08:48] wagnerrp: you would at least three to make it work
[07:08:51] sphery: mysql does replication, for those who choose to go for it :)
[07:09:16] wagnerrp: or rather at least three separate machines in use for mythtv

[07:09:28] wagnerrp: after the disconnect, it sees who is still alive
[07:09:35] sphery: especially if we end up going embedded db
[07:09:38] wagnerrp: if youve got more than half, you are now the live segment
[07:09:42] wagnerrp: if less... you shut down
[07:09:54] sphery: then sync differences
[07:10:03] sphery: and somehow figure out what's right/what's not
[07:10:21] wagnerrp: easier to just flush and reload
[07:10:30] wagnerrp: do it like a failed drive on a raid

[07:10:55] sphery: and so on
[07:11:17] wagnerrp: no, if you get equal to or less than half the network segment, you shut down
[07:11:28] wagnerrp: you mark your database as tainted, and terminate

[07:11:57] sphery: ah, shut down the whole backend
[07:12:39] sphery: I thought you were talking about when the network comes back, whoever had the biggest slice during the glitch kept theirs
[07:12:54] kormoc: wagnerrp, if you did mysql replication correctly, it'll interleave just fine
[07:13:07] sphery: but you're talking about shutting down when you realize you're missing the rest of the network
[07:13:26] wagnerrp: sphery: correct

[07:13:56] sphery: hey
[07:13:57] MylesMan: or wganer
[07:14:04] wagnerrp: have a short keepalive, five seconds or so
[07:14:05] kormoc: sphery, yes, assuming auto-increment with correct offsets and a valid replication loop
[07:14:19] wagnerrp: after that, send out a warning to the rest of the systems
[07:14:31] wagnerrp: like a popup on any frontends
[07:14:36] sphery: anyway, the whole plan seems very complicated, IMHO, for a DVR
[07:14:43] wagnerrp: yes, excessively complicated
[07:14:46] MylesMan: can i have it automatically change channels after i type a number w/o pushing select
[07:14:48] kormoc: sphery, as long as they only touch the stuff needed for themselves, it'll work great
[07:14:58] wagnerrp: only worthwhile if some corporate user wants to contract it in
[07:15:20] sphery: I like "simplistic failure tolerance"--i.e. each recorder keeps recording the things they were last told they would record until communication is restored
[07:15:57] jmartens (jmartens!~jmartens@109.232.42.33) has joined #mythtv-users
[07:16:01] wagnerrp: so each recorder keeps their own local copy of the upcoming recordings?

[07:17:18] wagnerrp: anyway, this is all conjecture at this point
[07:17:26] sphery: wagnerrp: they would keep a list of only the recordings they will do (each host gets a host-specific list)
[07:17:30] sphery: at most
[07:17:38] wagnerrp: i dont think any of us has a large enough system to consider a fully redundant backend

[07:25:36] sphery: wagnerrp: When I was working for a certain employer and we needed more storage for our systems, we submitted a request to the IT guys for a small server to run a large storage array. The IT guys said, "No, that server isn't powerful enough for your needs. You need an E10K. But, really, you guys need automatic failover, so you should get two E10Ks." They sent back the request with the pricing for their recommended solution (2xE10Ks). ...
[07:25:42] sphery: ... It was about 10x the cost of the system we spec'ed out--and didn't have a single HDD. Remember that the whole point of the purchase was to get storage. (This was in 1999, and the E10K was basically just released.)
[07:25:59] wagnerrp: ive heard this store before
[07:26:02] wagnerrp: story
[07:26:10] sphery: sorry
[07:26:14] sphery: forgot I mentioned it
[07:26:24] sphery: anyway, was so annoying
[07:26:30] wagnerrp: no problem
[07:26:34] wagnerrp: must have been years ago
[07:26:38] sphery: yeah
[07:26:39] wagnerrp: didnt know i heard it here
[07:26:55] sphery: ah, you mean when I mentioned it
[07:27:22] wagnerrp: yeah, i thought this was some quote from some 'it nightmare' site or something
[07:27:30] sphery: heh
[07:27:33] sphery: should be
[07:28:02] kormoc: amusing
[07:28:23] sphery: worst part is that when we refused to spend the money on them, the IT guys went to the big boss, and he made a command decision and we ended up wasting the money on them
[07:29:53] sphery: and our servers all ran custom software that would run for days, weeks, or months--all I/O bound, not CPU bound--and in the event of a failover, it would restart the process from the beginning, thereby saving the amount of time it would have taken for one of the guys running the job to be notified that it failed and to restart it.
[07:30:19] sphery: (the software not having been designed for failover)
[07:31:23] sphery: so, basically, it runs a 2-week job for a week, then server fails, then new server restarts it to run for 2 weeks--and because it's automatic failover, it finishes 2 hours faster than it would have if some guy just restarted the job on the new server after fail

[08:34:47] sphery: wow, Hitachi 2TB HDD for $59.99 after $10MIR for today's newegg shell shocker deal 3
[08:34:54] justinh: need a better camera. he doesn't like flash (hey who does these days?) but he moves so fast a lot of photos are just blurred
[08:35:03] wagnerrp: $60? they were $70 a couple hours ago
[08:35:06] justinh: never sits still for a minute, that lad

[08:35:36] sphery: wagnerrp: starting at 1:00pm PST
[08:35:44] justinh: laga: yeah I had my fill of flickr with its need to maintain a ****ing yahoo account
[08:35:47] wagnerrp: well.. they were $80+MIR, theyre now $70+MIR
[08:36:00] justinh: hmm what's my yahoo login again? and then my flickr login? ARGHH
[08:36:11] laga: justinh: so now you just need a google login? :)
[08:36:14] wagnerrp: no SSI?
[08:37:15] justinh: laga: I already use gmail, & it's all the same details
[08:37:25] laga: ah, yeah
[08:37:37] justinh: plus I back everything up to the myth box incase the cloud goes away ;-)
[08:37:43] justinh: and I back up the backup
[08:37:45] laga: i don't even have the google apps on my android phone.. not interested anymore in having my data mined :)
[08:38:06] justinh: oh I just denied them access to anything personal. you can do that
[08:38:18] wagnerrp: laga: but its being mined by someone who promised to do no evil... :P
[08:38:19] justinh: not that you can necessarily control everything apps can see
[08:38:24] laga: wagnerrp: heh
[08:38:42] justinh: & God only knows what a windows phone or iOS will do ;-)
[08:38:51] laga: justinh: i use the f-droid repo so i don't get flurry analytics and all that crap :)
[08:39:15] justinh: flurry analytics? wth is that? :-O
[08:39:50] justinh: I rooted my phone but er.. beyond that I'm not yet trusting enough to put an $IMAGE made by $SOMEGUY on my phone
[08:40:20] justinh: my home computer yes.. but my phone? hmmm
[08:40:25] laga: flurry analytics is some free tracking software. get an API key, put that in your app, add the .jar, and you can see how people use your app
[08:40:47] justinh: I'm still looking for a really good public transport planner app
[08:40:48] laga: i just use cyanogen, so that's not just some guy, but some guy who I know loves bacon
[08:41:00] ** wagnerrp eyes kormoc **
[08:41:14] justinh: all the ones I've been able to find only bother to show you where you can go from where you are – which is totally useless
[08:41:48] justinh: if I'm in town & aiming to get the last bus home I need to know how to get to the bus stop which will take me home :-)
[08:42:30] justinh: they didn't think about destinations when they made the transport system API
[08:44:06] justinh: laga: I've heard that name around a lot. I don't care too much about their meal preferences ;-)
[08:44:26] laga: justinh: _bacon_. can't be a bad person. all kidding aside:
[08:44:31] justinh: lol
[08:44:45] kormoc: Bacon?
[08:44:49] justinh: people go on & on about bacon sometimes. I mean it's nice & all but er...
[08:44:56] justinh: much ado about FA
[08:45:08] kormoc: Bacon is so tasty!
[08:45:16] Beirdo: heheh. kormoc was woken up by bacon
[08:45:26] justinh: yes, but some people mention it multiple times a day.. very shoutily
[08:45:34] justinh: I find that a bit... weird
[08:45:35] kormoc: http://www.google.com/chromeos/demolab/ <-- amusing
[08:45:38] laga: justinh: cyanogenmod is built entirely from source (minus few apps like ROMManager, and the proprietary libs for your device). so it's a bit different from some random guy fscking around with the ROM provided by the OEM and winzipping it back into shape again
[08:45:55] justinh: laga: ahh.
[08:45:55] laga: kormoc: "You need Flash Player and allow javascript to see the content of this site.. "
[08:46:08] laga: justinh: you might even built it yourself. ;)
[08:46:16] justinh: laga: that'd be my plan
[08:46:29] kormoc: laga, yeah, but amusing. You get to 'destroy' laptops
[08:46:48] laga: cyanogen and the team take google's open source release, add some awesomeness on top and ship it
[08:46:53] justinh: some of the howtos I've seen about building Android... yeesh.
[08:47:01] laga: justinh: heh.
[08:47:19] justinh: they're just not written in English, by English speaking people
[08:47:31] laga: i've been working a bit on replicant. a CM fork which aims to replace all proprietary libs (usually copied from the OEM image) with free bits. that's.. fun.
[08:47:31] justinh: muppets
[08:47:51] justinh: heh I don't care if it's open or not so long as it works
[08:48:04] laga: doesn't work as well. ;)
[08:48:25] justinh: if somebody could fix the random wifi disconnects that'd be nice
[08:48:47] justinh: phone goes to sleep, disconnects – great. phone wakes up, fails to reconnect. Bad
[08:49:09] justinh: user goes to wifi settings, sees connect failed.. does it manually.. works first time. WTH
[08:49:32] laga: building android (CM) is easy. repo init some_url && repo sync && cd new_dir && source some_other_dir/envsetup.sh && lunch your_device&& make -j4 bacon

[08:50:07] justinh: another thing about bacon.. reminds me of somebody :P
[08:51:15] justinh: er.. apply for the pilot program & get a free netbook? hmmm let me just think about that for one sec
[08:51:34] justinh: based in the US? BAH
[08:51:54] kormoc: justinh, meh. If you're not a web dev, it's a pretty useless laptop
[08:52:00] justinh: heh

[08:53:33] wagnerrp: what kind of power?
[08:53:40] kormoc: you can't even log in on it without an internet connection
[08:53:51] kormoc: wagnerrp, it's a 1.6 ghz atom with intel gfx
[08:54:25] Beirdo: perfect. Ship one to sphery :)
[08:54:44] justinh: surely hackable though ...
[08:54:54] Beirdo: Oh crap, blah
[08:54:59] justinh: but I'd be pretty sure that'd be a violation of some T&Cs
[08:55:09] kormoc: justinh, nah. Firmware is signed. If it doesn't match it'll reflash back to the signed firmware automatically
[08:55:10] Beirdo: that last track is two tracks
[08:55:27] kormoc: justinh, well, this one has a developer mode that turns that off, but the idea is to not do that
[08:55:29] laga: signed firmware.. everything lives in the cloud.. no thanks?
[08:55:42] Beirdo: I guess I'll wait for this side of the Jethro Tull LP to finish capturing.
[08:55:59] kormoc: laga, it's a internet appliance, nothing more and it's actually pretty usable with that metric in mind
[08:56:04] Beirdo: laga... you being paranoid? have a wireless mouse!
[08:56:16] Beirdo: heh, good to see old names around.
[08:56:21] kormoc: laga, the idea is you give it to your grandma and even if she gets hacked, reboot and it's all back to pristine
[08:56:41] Beirdo: I do like that concept
[08:56:46] laga: odd, especially cause google developer phones – or even later regular google phones – can be flashed w/o a problem from a computer
[08:56:52] justinh: don't like the concept of the cloud
[08:57:12] kormoc: laga, well, this is purely reference hardware with a extremely beta os, so who knows what will change before it goes live
[08:57:14] justinh: in theory it's great, but beyond that.. who owns the data & who's responsible for its upkeep?
[08:57:18] laga: well, the signed thing is cool – if you could bypass that.
[08:57:30] wagnerrp: justinh: i like the 'cloud' concept from the Windows ad... you know they one where the 'cloud' is your desktop at home, that you can pull TV shows off of
[08:57:34] laga: and i don't like the cloud either, same as justinh
[08:57:44] kormoc: justinh, the cloud is controlled by where you go
[08:57:45] justinh: see the recent flickr case ;)
[08:57:51] kormoc: justinh, go to your own local install and you own the data
[08:58:00] laga: Beirdo: good to see _you_ around :)
[08:58:00] wagnerrp: oh wait, thats not a cloud, thats just a normal client server concept that has been around since the advent of the internet
[08:58:02] wagnerrp: silly me
[08:58:12] justinh: wagnerrp: heh
[08:58:52] Beirdo: To the cloud... pfft.
[08:58:54] justinh: got myself a dropbox account a while back.. still not really used it in anger
[08:59:35] justinh: maybe I wouldn't hate this new stuff if it wasn't just used so readily as an excuse to be 'zeitgeisty'
[08:59:51] justinh: like ... wait for it .. virtualisation
[09:00:09] Beirdo: justinh: you will make a great grumpy old man in time
[09:00:17] laga: he is
[09:00:24] justinh: I HATE hype
[09:00:30] Beirdo: he's got the grumpy down :)
[09:00:31] Beirdo: hehe
[09:00:36] ** laga making backups of all his DVDs to disk.. so they can be used with mythvideo **

[09:00:51] Beirdo: I'd have to agree though, a lot of this stuff is overhyped
[09:00:56] justinh: all households do ;-)
[09:01:10] justinh: "we need storage". "CLOUD! CLOUD! CLOUD!"
[09:01:22] justinh: "we need more servers" "CLOUD! CLOUD! VIRTUAL CLOUD!"
[09:01:27] Beirdo: my boss may have bought into the stupidity that is PCI-E FLASH drives
[09:01:44] justinh: liek SHUT UP already.. do a proper analysis first
[09:01:45] Beirdo: as it's "10–100x faster"
[09:01:51] Beirdo: yeah
[09:02:02] laga: back in the day, there was webmail, and everything was.. good? now i'm mostly concerned about privacy.. i mean, my cat pictures are reasonably safe in the cloud IF i back them up locally as well
[09:02:03] wagnerrp: Beirdo: whats the problem with pcie flash drives?
[09:02:33] Beirdo: wagnerrp: for the size they need for the database server, it would be about $300k
[09:02:34] justinh: the problem with everything is that it's being sold to gullible people by consultants ;-)
[09:02:35] wagnerrp: or are you just saying people are using them for tasks completely unneeding of that kind of IOPS?
[09:02:37] Beirdo: there's #1
[09:03:01] laga: justinh: how does dropbox make money?
[09:03:02] Beirdo: #2... it just delays the inevitable if they don't fix the bloody schema
[09:03:06] justinh: laga: I dunno
[09:03:07] wagnerrp: oh, yeah... when youre talking about terabyte archive databases...
[09:03:17] Beirdo: yeah
[09:03:25] Beirdo: small scale, they are sensible
[09:03:28] wagnerrp: multi-terabyte even
[09:03:49] justinh: laga: for my own data I care about, there's er.. ssh thingy wossname I forget the name of
[09:03:51] wagnerrp: you can get a 2TB one for $10K or so
[09:03:59] Beirdo: and then some boneheaded exec said "you need this for your project too"
[09:04:10] Beirdo: ummm NO we don't, thanks
[09:04:13] laga: i had some OSM data on my SSD and sql queries were.. fast. not that fast, though, thanks to dm-crypt :/
[09:04:21] Beirdo: you go waste money on your own stuff, thans
[09:04:43] Beirdo: anyways... :)
[09:05:02] Beirdo: but tomorrow, I get to spec out 50 servers
[09:05:20] Beirdo: and keep a hairy eyeball on the installation of 4 more
[09:05:42] kormoc: Beirdo, FusionIO?
[09:05:53] Beirdo: I think I will be needing beer
[09:06:02] Beirdo: I think that was the one yeah
[09:06:21] wagnerrp: yeah... 2TB Z-Drive for $8272
[09:06:32] wagnerrp: just how big of a database are you talking?
[09:07:05] justinh: oh yeah WinSCIP :-)
[09:07:11] justinh: er WinSCP
[09:07:37] kormoc: wagnerrp, problem with fusion io is they're the king of IOPS. When a typical drive gets 100–200 IOPS, a good SSD gets 65,000–90,000 IOPS, having a card that can do 120,000 IOPS isn't /that/ much better
[09:09:02] wagnerrp: yeah, but the question then becomes size
[09:09:03] NightMonkey (NightMonkey!debian-tor@pdpc/supporter/professional/nightmonkey) has quit (Ping timeout: 240 seconds)
[09:09:19] wagnerrp: is it easier to do one card, or a bunch of SSDs in a RAID
[09:10:07] kormoc: They have some issues as well
[09:10:15] kormoc: the duo and quads show up as 2 or 4 SD devices
[09:10:32] justinh: grrr. WORK. Go away work
[09:10:32] kormoc: to get speced space you need to use DM or similar which doesn't push TRIM down
[09:10:56] laga: i thought DM can do TRIM now?
[09:11:04] laga: only dm-crypt doesn't do that AFAIR
[09:11:28] kormoc: laga, Ooh? That's new then! I shall have to research
[09:11:35] laga: kormoc: i hope i'm right :)
[09:12:08] laga: ignoring whether Mr. Beirdo needs an SSD for his database or not, SSDs are *awesome*.
[09:12:20] laga: i want to get one for my desktop, but they're also expensive :)
[09:12:36] Beirdo: yeah, they have uses
[09:12:59] Beirdo: but they do cost too much
[09:13:20] laga: it's getting better
[09:13:26] laga: top of the line will always cost a lot
[09:13:43] kormoc: laga, looks like 2.6.37 + ext4 does push discards down though DM, that's snazzy
[09:13:57] laga: kormoc: :)
[09:14:02] kormoc: Beirdo, the OCZ Z drives are Much cheaper for similar performance specs
[09:14:09] kormoc: Beirdo, and larger sizes
[09:14:15] wagnerrp: anyone have a copy of python 2.7 installed?
[09:14:19] Beirdo: good luck convincing the pinheads of that
[09:14:24] laga: wagnerrp: *raises hands*
[09:14:25] kormoc: Beirdo, and the new Sandforce 2000 controllers will do wonders in the 2.5" SSD space
[09:14:36] laga: oh, new sandforce controllers? nice.
[09:14:42] wagnerrp: laga: could you run 'import xml; print xml.__version__'
[09:14:44] justinh: I wish our webdev guy would hurry up & finish the web app version of our time/attendance system – then I can go right ahead & switch to loonix on my work desktop :D
[09:14:47] laga: i hope the 1200 controllers will be cheaper then
[09:15:01] kormoc: laga, aye, they're slated for q2 of this year (I believe)
[09:15:03] justinh: then I can have a mythtv system on my desktop & not have to rely on NX'ing to home :D
[09:15:12] laga: wagnerrp: 0.8.4
[09:15:34] kormoc: Batched discards too! 2.6.37 will be a good release for the ext4 SSD users
[09:15:40] wagnerrp: thats... completely different from what i was expecting
[09:15:59] laga: wagnerrp: that's on arch.
[09:16:11] ** justinh wonders if groups can be shown as being in playlists **
[09:17:10] justinh: infact I wonder what happens when the buttonlists for groups & recordings are inherited from the same base & it has statetypes.. do the groups show any activity... hmm
[09:17:58] wagnerrp: laga: that package looks to be like 6 yrs old
[09:18:17] wagnerrp: and abandoned
[09:18:48] laga: wagnerrp: i never use the default XML api in python, fwiw. i don't have any other boxen with python 2.7 here, sorry :/
[09:19:13] wagnerrp: yeah, but if it overwrites the integrated XML api in python... thats really bad
[09:19:20] laga: oh.
[09:19:29] laga: let me check my package manager..
[09:19:30] wagnerrp: 'xml' is an internal library in python
[09:19:49] wagnerrp: and __version__ should supply a 5-digit integer
[09:19:54] wagnerrp: somewhere in the 4xxxx range

[09:22:15] wagnerrp: im surprised it even works with py2.7
[09:22:17] laga: yeah, and i have pyxml installed.
[09:22:27] laga: so let me try removing it.
[09:22:34] wagnerrp: nah, dont worry about it
[09:22:35] laga: wagnerrp: mind you, this could all be specific to my install here
[09:22:38] wagnerrp: ill just install a copy here
[09:22:40] wagnerrp: thanks
[09:23:05] laga: does xml support xpath? i believe that was the reason i used lxml
[09:23:14] laga: or BeautifulSoup if necessary :/
[09:23:30] wagnerrp: no, and thats the reason i use lxml for the python bindings
[09:23:39] laga: heh
[09:23:48] wagnerrp: RDV uses it for his stuff too, but apparently he uses the built in xml for something still

[09:30:18] justinh: that board is already on its 5th respin. oy oy oy
[09:31:43] justinh: it's something that takes coaxial telemetry & converts it to RS485.. oh and a PoE PSU. how's that taken so many respins already? LOL
[09:32:10] Beirdo: that sounds rather... easy... conceptually
[09:32:17] justinh: it is
[09:32:37] justinh: small board a few inches across by 2 inches
[09:32:46] justinh: maybe 4x2"

[09:45:04] Beirdo: open housing.. smash with hammer... close housing.
[09:45:53] justinh: stupid designer had put a transient absorber in the ignition sensing circuit *after* an EMI reduction inductor. which was great, til there was a spike on the ignition sense wire. transorb device conducted, went low impedance.. sent godknows what current through the inductor & it went FFFT!
[09:46:24] Beirdo: hehehe
[09:46:39] justinh: the fix was (get this!) to remove the transient absorber rather than retrofit a resistor to the ign sense wire

[18:22:39] iamlindoro: I'm sure he'll be fine with it, it's just important to me that people feel ownership of their code, committer or not
[18:23:10] skd5aner: I can understand that
[18:24:41] skd5aner: but, just to play devil's advocate (not necessarily in this case, but as a generallity), how long should a known bug sit waiting for the owner to address it if there's a fix known to work? Again – just a general curiosity, not really disagreeing with your philosophy
[18:29:24] iamlindoro: JAMU is a deprecated script
[18:29:28] iamlindoro: due for removal
[18:29:40] iamlindoro: If it were in actual myth functionality, we'd fix it
[18:29:48] iamlindoro: if you'd like, I can simply remove JAMU instaead
[18:30:13] iamlindoro: and "fix known to work" is not the same as "tested by the author not to break anything else
[18:30:46] iamlindoro: Because quite frankly, neither you, nor I, nor anyone else has the level of familiarity with JAMU I consider required to confirm something as an acceptable fix
[18:30:57] iamlindoro: besides the script's author
[18:32:12] iamlindoro: Doug has a suite of tests he runs changes through to confirm there aren't any regressions-- finding something on the users list that works for two of you doesn't have the same compelling level of confidence

[18:36:54] rhollan: perhaps I just borked things up so bad that I should reinstall then.
[18:37:16] rhollan: I'm not getting cover art anymore, for one.
[18:37:31] tgm4883: !logs
[18:37:40] tgm4883: bah, wrong channel, no zinn :(
[18:38:02] wagnerrp: rhollan: what mythbuntu /has/ done is write a bunch of wrapper scripts and other utilities that automate a number of tasks for setup of mythtv
[18:38:06] wagnerrp: but that doesnt make it a fork
[18:38:11] wagnerrp: !url logs
[18:38:11] MythLogBot: logs: http://irc.mythtv.org/ircLog/channel/1
[18:38:36] tgm4883: wagnerrp, nah, I was looking for this
[18:38:37] tgm4883: Zinn> MythTV logs are stored in /var/log/mythtv/ You can use mythbuntu-log-grabber from the Applications menu to automatically post the most relevant logs to our pastebin.
[18:38:49] rhollan: do they mess with storage directories? I never got that working rigjht and just finally gave up... it's months later now and I want to clean things up... possibly start from scratch.
[18:39:03] tgm4883: rhollan, we add default ones if thats what you mean
[18:39:08] wagnerrp: the define defaults, but do not 'mess with them'
[18:39:17] tgm4883: did you have your storage directories in your home directory?
[18:40:06] rhollan: no.. but I was confused as to importing: I had ISO rips and CD rips and was not sure if importing copied them or made symlink trees and then got metadata (cover art... some of which I already had).
[18:40:59] rhollan: I don't want to re-rip one by one and let myth index stuff and do all the DB goodness it does: I want to throw a bunch of files and directories at it.
[18:41:21] tgm4883: copy the files into the right directory?
[18:41:32] tgm4883: or add a dir to the storage group?
[18:41:42] wagnerrp: just point the 'Videos' group at where ever your content is
[18:41:44] rhollan: sure, but isn't there some DB indexing that has to happen so it can find cover art?
[18:41:46] wagnerrp: name it sensibly
[18:41:50] wagnerrp: and have mythtv scan for it
[18:42:10] tgm4883: rhollan, done when you hit scan for changes I believe
[18:42:17] wagnerrp: when you scan (if you have this option set) it will automatically pull metadata and artwork for all content from themoviedb or thetvdb
[18:42:23] rhollan: Ah. I suppose I can try that.
[18:42:44] rhollan: Though, that's part of the problem: I HAVE cover art for some of the content that it didn't find (mostly CD cover art)
[18:42:55] rhollan: DVDs too
[18:44:16] tgm4883: rhollan, so follow the guidelines for folder images http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/MythVideo#Folder_Images
[18:44:21] rhollan: I remember also placing mythWeb behind an authentication mechanism, and had to change some of the scripts... which were probably changed back in an update.
[18:44:36] rhollan: So, I should probably start from scratch.
[18:44:38] tgm4883: thats for mythvideo, not sure if that applies to mythmusic too
[18:44:52] tgm4883: rhollan, mythweb authentication is enabled via MCC
[18:45:08] rhollan: Is that new (as in the past 6–7 months?)
[18:46:09] tgm4883: nope
[18:46:12] rhollan: I suppose my big question is if there is any argument from the "mythtv" gurus to avoid mythbuntu or not when I reinstall.
[18:46:29] tgm4883: I say use Mythbuntu, but i'm bias
[18:46:34] rhollan: How does MCC integrate with OpenLDAP? Can I configure queries?
[18:46:46] rhollan: Yeah, I started with Mythbuntu for the convenience.
[18:47:11] tgm4883: MCC doesn't integrate with openldap, the only authentication it adds is in apache
[18:47:16] ** rhollan stores user service authentication in an LDAP database. **
[18:47:29] rhollan: Yeah, but apache can talk to OpenLDAP
[18:47:33] tgm4883: yea you'd have to set that up custom then
[18:47:44] tgm4883: rhollan, right, the MCC setup for that isn't that complex
[18:47:59] rhollan: Right. I did that, and then had to fix some scripts... which got reverted on the next update... not surprisingly.
[18:48:29] tgm4883: You would need to open a bug for that, there was an issue with it that would reset that authenticaion, but it shouldn't anymore
[18:48:34] tgm4883: that was likely the issue you were having
[18:48:59] rhollan: Ah. I guess I should retry then. Perhaps I hacked the auth stuff in wrong when I did it
[18:49:53] rhollan: I was using apache to hand off auth via an LDAP query, but it got lost on some subsequent requests (maybe from javascript on the mythweb pages served? Don't remember any more)

[18:54:27] unixSnob (unixSnob!~unixSnob@212.117.169.230) has quit (Quit: leaving)
[18:54:38] skd5aner: hmmm, ttvdb.com still collects zap2it/SchedulesDirect ID as a field
[18:56:06] sphery: rhollan: or, put another way, mythbuntu is pretty much what you'd have if you took plain ubuntu, then reconfigured it for best MythTV operation (though you may get a few extras with mythbuntu, too)
[18:56:09] skd5aner: iamlindoro: NP, I have no issues waiting to talk with RDV when he returns – I was just curious, that's all :)
[18:56:21] sphery: rhollan: i.e. mythbuntu is MythTV on Ubuntu done right
[18:56:43] sphery: skd5aner: yeah, the TMS identifier collection is annoying
[18:57:27] rhollan: sphery: thanks... that's EXACTLY what I wanted.. .I don;'t know where I got the impression it was a 'bad' mythtv port or fork
[18:58:01] skd5aner: btw- I know JAMU is deprecated, but it's still very useful for recordings – I'm sure you've probably got something waiting in the wings though for that (if not already committed)
[18:58:12] wagnerrp: sphery: is that identifier tag copyrighted or something?
[18:58:13] sphery: as wagnerrp mentioned, you may have just confused it with Linux MCE (though whether to call that bad or not I'll leave to someone else to decide)
[18:58:32] wagnerrp: it seems like it would actually be great for pulling additional information off of ttvdb
[18:58:39] sphery: wagnerrp: pretty sure it is... they generate it directly and make sure that no 2 episodes and no 2 shows have the same
[18:58:43] wagnerrp: or is the implication that people are copying the TMS data verbatim
[18:58:43] rhollan: See, I have a media server that does double duty for the home: sinking email, ntp server, caching web server, caching DNS server, and a few other things. So, I want a "decent but not bloated" OS under myth on it. One day, I might dedicate a mythtv box.
[18:58:45] skd5aner: wagnerrp: apparently, it's proprietary and considered property of TMS
[18:58:57] skd5aner: wagnerrp: or so I've been told
[18:59:40] sphery: wagnerrp: all we need to do is use a different value... generate one internally to tmdb/ttvdb (ideally with coordination or at least different formats so no overlap), then there's no question at all whether it's usable
[18:59:42] wagnerrp: rhollan: then pick up a spare init script, run ubuntu server, install mythtv manually, and call it a day
[19:00:02] wagnerrp: sphery: there already is that ID
[19:00:12] wagnerrp: the series ID in combination with season and episode number
[19:00:13] sphery: then just get rid of the TMS one
[19:00:39] sphery: that's not a 'fact' by any stretch of the definition
[19:01:04] tgm4883: wagnerrp, i've not tested it, but I'm unsure whether the server kernel would have support for tv cards
[19:01:17] sphery: it's a unique identifier for a show that was assigned by them, so they shouldn't be collecting it
[19:01:20] wagnerrp: tgm4883: ah, didnt think of that
[19:01:37] tgm4883: I have no reason to believe it wouldn't, but it does come with a different kernel specified as "server"
[19:01:48] tgm4883: which i would think would strip out some of that stuff
[19:02:47] skd5aner: sphery, wagnerrp: it's just a field they collect, I suppose for correlation purposes to existing data sources... for example, they collect tv.com ID, IMDB ID, and TMS ID – as optional fields. Of course, the assign their own unique ID as well, but I suppose their thinking was that the metadata could be used to "link" shows based on other unique IDs
[19:03:09] skd5aner: I guess the point is, from what I've been told, they shouldn't be collecting TMS ID since it's against the TOS to do so
[19:03:34] rhollan: wagnerrp: yeah, that's what I was thinking... but if mythbuntu is "good enough" to be "ubuntu server plus all the UI stuff mythtv needs", that's good enough for me — I just got a misperception in my head.
[19:03:36] skd5aner: I think their intentions were probably innocent, but it's a matter of if they're allowed to do it or not
[19:04:06] Twiggy2cents (Twiggy2cents!~darren@66.87.6.176) has joined #mythtv-users
[19:04:47] wagnerrp: this customEvent on the protocol server is painful...
[19:04:53] rhollan: What I actually did, was install mythbuntu, THEN add all the other stuff (like Roundcube mail). Then when I saw how nice RC mail's auth system was, I wanted to use that for remote mythtv web users (as in, listen to my music at work).
[19:05:09] sphery: rhollan: IMHO, 99% of the "bloat" in a modern distro (where HDD bloat is completely ignored because it's irrelevant in these days of $60 2TB HDDs--though the following may also apply to the HDD bloat), is their choosing to run a bloated desktop environment (GNOME or KDE). So, as long as you choose to use something other than GNOME/KDE, you should be fine. IIRC, Mythbuntu uses XFCE by default, which is /much/ better than using GNOME/KDE, ...
[19:05:15] sphery: ... but if you want it even leaner, you can switch to a plain window manager (no desktop environment), like Fluxbox (about 1MB memory footprint) or even RatPoison (300kB memory footprint).
[19:05:42] wagnerrp: right, the bloat is in otherwise unused disk space
[19:05:46] tgm4883: yep, we still use XFCE
[19:05:52] wagnerrp: its not like its actually running, consuming memory or CPU
[19:06:01] Wicked: :o 60$ 2tb drives?
[19:06:12] rhollan: sphery: yeah, I thought that too... but there tend to be a bunch of other services besides the desktop: printer daemons and what not.
[19:06:16] ** Wicked wants **
[19:06:22] JEDIDIAH__: there is a lot of stuff that's started automatically in gnome that you can easily turn off. kde is probably the same.
[19:06:22] wagnerrp: Wicked: yeah, low power hitachi on newegg today

[19:06:32] Wicked: damn my unemployed status!
[19:06:48] Wicked: ive been looking to snag up ~4 drives for an array
[19:06:59] JEDIDIAH__: an ION frontend is going to be knackered by wifi before it implodes due to gnome bloat.
[19:07:01] tgm4883: $60 2TB drives! damn my married status!
[19:07:12] rhollan: damn by status as fighing a child custody suit (ex had kids truant, I have them now, she wants them back, and STATE is backing her... to get her off of welfare)
[19:07:13] tgm4883: ;)
[19:07:14] sphery: BTW, the $60 2TB deal starts in 2 hrs
[19:07:42] blizzard_: 2TB drives, damn my pr0n
[19:07:44] JEDIDIAH__: what? cheap product should be just the thing for "married status". It's the $400 drives that are a WAF problems.
[19:07:52] Wicked: hmm. sphery where is it listed/
[19:07:59] tgm4883: what i actually need is a gigabit switch that doesn't suck
[19:08:02] Wicked: i just looked under the daily deals and did not see it
[19:08:07] sphery: Wicked: http://www.newegg.com/Special/ShellShocker.aspx in 2 hrs
[19:08:10] rhollan: $60 2TB? *that drooling comes from my visions of RAID*
[19:08:11] wagnerrp: tgm4883: you and me both
[19:08:18] Wicked: thanks sphery
[19:08:20] sphery: 1PM PST through midnight PST
[19:08:43] Wicked: hmm
[19:09:06] tgm4883: wagnerrp, i've gone though 2 linksys business class ones and a dlink green one. All are pretty crap
[19:09:19] tgm4883: the linksys ones died after < 6 months
[19:09:25] Atarii (Atarii!~Atarii@unaffiliated/atarii) has joined #mythtv-users
[19:09:33] wagnerrp: yeah, i was disappointed in mine
[19:09:47] wagnerrp: lasted maybe a year before the fan burned up, the switch itself was soon to follow
[19:10:04] wagnerrp: it was an 8-port switch and one of the ports /never/ worked
[19:10:14] sphery: I need to switch my chained 8-ports for a 24-port
[19:10:24] wagnerrp: it would connect, but could never achieve more than ~4kbps
[19:10:29] rhollan: I've actually had better luck with Netgear than Stinksys
[19:10:47] wagnerrp: rhollan: ive got two netgear switches, and theyre both crap
[19:10:49] blizzard_: rhollan, i'm the other way around
[19:10:59] wagnerrp: theyve both been replaced once, one of them twice
[19:11:04] blizzard_: I prefere linksys before netcrap
[19:11:06] rhollan: I guess they both have Q/C problems
[19:11:09] wagnerrp: and then tend to get caught in broadcast loops
[19:11:10] JEDIDIAH__: I dunno. Isn't Newegg notorious for poorly packaging hard drives?
[19:11:33] sphery: JEDIDIAH__: yes, but whether that's actually a problem is the one thing that people haven't proven
[19:11:43] wagnerrp: all my network traffic stops, and i go downstairs to see the switches blinking away like mad
[19:11:46] sphery: JEDIDIAH__: I get all my HDDs from newegg and have never had a DOA
[19:11:50] rhollan: haven't had any trouble with their WNDR3300 or 802.11n bridge
[19:12:00] rhollan: *crosses fingers*
[19:12:11] sphery: I have a feeling most of the people complaining are seeing a different problem, then blaming the one thing they see
[19:12:14] wagnerrp: rhollan: we had the same exact problem on commercial 24-port netgear garbage
[19:12:22] rhollan: running 802.11 WPA2/Enterprise
[19:12:30] wagnerrp: only solution was to power them all down, and back up
[19:12:46] wagnerrp: if any were left running, it would 'infect' the rest of them on the network
[19:12:48] JEDIDIAH__: that is a common affliction everywhere. blame the most convenient victim.
[19:12:51] ** rhollan remembers that the myth box is ALSO a wireless auth radius server... using the same ldap database **
[19:12:52] sphery: JEDIDIAH__: and, FWIW, when I RMAed my Seagate 1.5TB, I used the newegg packaging from a WD Caviar Green and Seagate considered it appropriately packed
[19:12:53] tgm4883: wagnerrp, yea I have a dlink that says my xbox is connected. The xbox says no cable connected at all. dlink says the same even if I remove the cable. Have to unplug the thing to get it to reset
[19:13:10] tgm4883: I had a cheap trendnet one once that melted the plastic off of itself
[19:13:20] wagnerrp: meanwhile the linksys 24-ports we had would happily continue passing traffic without a problem
[19:13:22] skd5aner: where do screenshots get dumped when using the screenshot keybinding?
[19:13:30] skd5aner: screenshot SG?
[19:13:36] sphery: skd5aner: key binding or jump point?
[19:13:38] sphery: there are 2
[19:13:41] sphery: different places for each
[19:13:46] skd5aner: ah, well... both then?
[19:13:53] skd5aner: I was going to use Alt-S for a jump point
[19:14:08] skd5aner: but what's the difference?
[19:14:21] JEDIDIAH__: ...it might finally be time to build that backup array then.
[19:14:23] sphery: skd5aner: http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/mythtv/users/457807#457807 + http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/mythtv/ . . . 92813#392813
[19:14:59] sphery: JEDIDIAH__: the above said, I take no responsibility if you get a run of broken/damaged HDDs from newegg due to improper packaging :)
[19:15:23] ** sphery employs a little "Cover Your Chat" **
[19:15:37] skd5aner: sphery: thanks for the links
[19:15:40] ** blizzard_ employs a midget **
[19:15:59] blizzard_: naaah, thats a bad jobe
[19:16:05] ** blizzard_ employs a small guy **
[19:16:12] tgm4883: The last hard drives I got were packaged great. There is a 50/50 chance I got them from newegg, might have been amazon though
[19:16:23] sphery: blizzard employs a bunch of dwarves and elves and trolls and ogres
[19:16:38] sphery: WoW, that was a bad joke
[19:16:39] skd5aner: you should have seen the box Samsung sent my replacement RMA drive back in >:(
[19:16:57] blizzard_: already have the elves/trolls/ogres and a small army of goblins
[19:17:04] JEDIDIAH__: what's the limit going to be on that? how many drives?
[19:17:04] sphery: skd5aner: heh, Seagate finally "shipped" mine (at least they printed the label--UPS still doesn't have it, yet)
[19:17:08] wagnerrp: sealed in a ES bag or plastic case, wrapped in several layers of large size bubble packing... ive never had a problem with newegg
[19:17:26] wagnerrp: JEDIDIAH__: since its a MIR, probably one per household
[19:17:40] skd5aner: sphery: heh
[19:17:48] tgm4883: wagnerrp, still $70 for a 2TB isn't bad either
[19:17:55] skd5aner: due to the snow storms in the midwest, my 2 day shipping from Amazon took a full calendar week
[19:18:12] sphery: skd5aner: I now understand why it took you so long to get your MythTV box back up and running since you had to wait for a couple RMAs
[19:18:20] blizzard_: Question: QUAD vs Quattro LNB's.. what should I use? (two satellite positions and I want to fully utilize myth...)
[19:18:26] tgm4883: skd5aner, interesting, my 2 day shipping took only an extra day. It was over the weekend though
[19:18:36] sphery: skd5aner: hope it was Prime... otherwise, that sucks that you paid extra for it and didn't get it
[19:18:36] wagnerrp: is there a difference?
[19:18:56] JEDIDIAH__: yup. I had the same issue... saw 3 or 4 entries in the tracking page citing weather.
[19:18:58] blizzard_: wagn: yes =(
[19:18:59] skd5aner: yea, then I realized I didn't have any thermal paste, so that took another day – but actually I just gave up and went to Radio Shack and bought it because Amazon cancelled that order because apparently they were out of stock
[19:19:11] sphery: wagnerrp: maybe Quattro LNBs have more yellow?
[19:19:16] skd5aner: yea – amazon prime
[19:19:25] tgm4883: skd5aner, who doesn't have extra thermal paste just lying around?
[19:19:26] blizzard_: no, quad LNB's are more or less four LNB's in one housing
[19:19:33] skd5aner: and, I didn't really need it that fast – UPS just dropped it off 10 mins ago :)
[19:19:43] blizzard_: Quattro splits horizontal, low, high etc in four different paths...
[19:19:51] blizzard_: and requires a multiswitch
[19:20:00] blizzard_: not really sure what's the best solution for me =/
[19:20:10] sphery: tgm4883: heh, I have a ton of it, but never had any quality paste until I re-seated my XBox 360 mobo to try to prevent the RRoD (decided that's one system where good paste was worth it)
[19:20:18] JEDIDIAH__: ne1 got any direct experience with the TR5M-BP?
[19:20:22] sphery: bought some AS for it
[19:20:33] skd5aner: sphery: thanks for the details on the screenshots – I wonder if the jumppoint works with VDPAU
[19:20:43] sphery: skd5aner: think so
[19:20:52] tgm4883: sphery, yea, AS is pretty good
[19:20:59] ** rhollan wishes there were other GSM carriers besides tmobile and at&t in U.S. **
[19:21:22] sphery: LTE ftw!
[19:21:32] skd5aner: sphery: not sure if I missed it, but I didn't see where those get placed?
[19:21:33] ** tgm4883 uses sprint **
[19:21:50] sphery: seems there will be (some? more?) convergence, finally, come 4G
[19:21:52] skd5aner: sphery: you mean 3.25G? ;)
[19:22:02] rhollan: ordered phone on line.... order does not go through... buy phone retail... UPS *surprise* two days later... returns retail phone.... WTILL waiting for refund.
[19:22:09] tgm4883: oh not that argument
[19:22:22] sphery: heh, LTE will be 4G, right? but Sprint/T-Mobile/AT&T's current 4G isn't
[19:22:31] skd5aner: None have true 4G
[19:22:59] tgm4883: skd5aner, technical vs practical
[19:23:07] rhollan: perhaps, but son's Samsung Vibrant is a lot snappier than my 3G myTouch
[19:23:10] sphery: I do think that the "more G's" superbowl commercial was useful--as a "who cares about Gs"
[19:23:22] skd5aner: tgm4883: technical versus marketing ;)
[19:23:23] skd5aner: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/4G#ITU_Requireme . . . ss_standards
[19:23:29] sphery: rhollan: but the myTouch 4G is a beautiful phone--at least in the ads
[19:23:40] ** rhollan thanks himself for getting n unlimited data plan for son **
[19:24:06] rhollan: I looked at the myTouch 4G... I like the bigger Samsung screen
[19:24:10] skd5aner: 4G is a specification, that none of the 4G networks meets – but the ITU has allowed them some leeway in saying 4G to mean more like "pre-4G" or "4'th generation"
[19:24:17] rhollan: though, it's about the limit for a phone
[19:24:36] rhollan: ITU succumed to marketting pressure... boooo!
[19:24:52] skd5aner: sphery: yes, the myTouch 4G is HOT...

[19:25:30] tgm4883: skd5aner, meh, carriers went to the next available technology and as a progression, called it 4G. IIRC, the 4G specification didn't exist at the time
[19:25:31] sphery: skd5aner: heh, same here... Carly Foulkes
[19:25:32] skd5aner: I'm happy with my Droid 2
[19:25:57] skd5aner: tgm4883: 4G as a spec has existed for years ttbomk, like since 2003 at least in draft form
[19:26:03] tgm4883: so either A) the ITU should call it 5G, or B) they should abandon the #G and go somewhere else
[19:26:16] sphery: +1 on abandoning G
[19:26:19] sphery: it's meaningless
[19:26:27] skd5aner: I guess the point being is, the carriers are screwing with people's minds
[19:26:37] sphery: and who cares which generation it is... use some useful measure of quality/bandwidth/capability/...
[19:26:51] skd5aner: they see their competitors are hyping 3G phones, so what can they do... I know, push an upgrade to their network and call it 4G... IT'S BETTER!
[19:27:14] skd5aner: sphery: that's what the ITU spec is supposed to do, the carriers blew that to hell though
[19:27:16] sphery: that's the problem--it's just marketing by the numbers and it's meaningless

[19:28:43] skd5aner: regardless – I'm happy there's progress
[19:28:45] sphery: yeah, but when you're measuring something where data rates fall off from certain very small sweet spots, even those numbers are meaningless

[20:37:14] wagnerrp: i guess that means i should paste the raw text into the ticket
[20:38:09] sphery: you've played a bit with the trac stuff... any way we could make a new field on the form for: mythbackend --version or mythfrontend --version output, and then have that stored to an attachment?
[20:38:18] sphery: or is that way more hacking than it's worth?
[20:38:33] kormoc: that's a lot of work actually
[20:38:39] kormoc: the to a file part at least
[20:39:21] sphery: :(
[20:39:37] sphery: how about just stuffing it in a different DB field so it's not used in the searches?
[20:40:45] wagnerrp: easiest would be to write some form into mythweb, or the new setup server, to hook into the XMLRPC calls and create new tickets automagically
[20:41:27] wagnerrp: then it wouldnt be non-native behavior we would have to maintain, that would not be likely to be accepted upstream

(although in my experience it is usually consistent in assigning the same IPs to computers)."

[21:12:53] wagnerrp: isnt that how most of them are designed?
[21:13:02] wagnerrp: you trip a breaker to cut off mains power
[21:13:02] devinheitmueller: wagnerrp: people want to backfeed the power from their generator onto their house's circuit, so they can power the house when the power goes out.

[21:13:35] devinheitmueller: wagnerrp: I hope you're being sarcastic.
[21:13:51] clever: usualy, the cutoff panel has a metal level in place, so turning the generator breaker on forces the main breaker off
[21:13:53] wagnerrp: i realize youre only going to get 15A, which isnt going to run much
[21:13:57] clever: so it cant back feed into the grid
[21:14:05] clever: lever*
[21:14:12] wagnerrp: and if you try to do that while connected to the mains, youre going to break stuff
[21:14:28] wagnerrp: but yes, i thought thats how you hooked up small residential generators
[21:14:45] ** wagnerrp has never looked too closely at small residential generators **
[21:14:48] devinheitmueller: clever: correct. You need to wire a dedicated cutoff ahead of the panel if you're going to put power onto the house circuit.
[21:15:40] wagnerrp: i thought just about anyone with a breaker panel had one of those
[21:16:12] devinheitmueller: wagnerrp: No. You cannot do just cut the main breaker.

[23:12:12] Valen: kormoc: duh, thanks ;->
[23:12:13] StevenR: kormoc: just 6549, netstat -nltup only shows that for mythbackend
[23:12:26] StevenR: kormoc: well yes, but how do I fix that?
[23:12:58] kormoc: StevenR, pastebin the backend logs

[23:16:31] sphery: wagnerrp: so, what kind of general purpose cpu performance would you expect of the new TI OMAP 5 (with dual-core ARM Coretex A15)
[23:17:50] StevenR: kormoc: it's failing to connect to the db, claims to be using /home/mythtv/.mythtv ... should the mysql password be in plaintext in mysql.txt and config.xml ?
[23:18:20] sphery: StevenR: yes
[23:18:31] sphery: thanks for reminding me to fix it to use config.xml properly
[23:20:24] JEDIDIAH__: I wouldn't do any commflagging on the TI OMAP 5.

[23:21:18] Cydd is now known as Cyd
[23:21:24] sphery: heh
[23:22:02] sphery: just wondering where it might stack in with the other low-power-usage chips
[23:22:11] sphery: definitely not right for mythtv, yet
[23:22:40] kormoc: ooh
[23:23:04] StevenR: now I'm getting this from a remote frontend 2011-02–08 23:22:24.487 Protocol version mismatch (frontend=56,backend=23056)
[23:23:05] kormoc: so the atom in the chrome notebook doesn't have a discrete gpu. It's built into the cpu.
[23:23:34] sphery: like dual-die single package thing?
[23:23:55] kormoc: Aye
[23:24:16] sphery: intel graphics, then, I'd assume?
[23:24:19] kormoc: GMA 3150, no hardware video decoding at all
[23:24:34] sphery: heh
[23:24:42] sphery: who needs video decoding on the client, anyway
[23:24:50] sphery: we'll just do it in the cloud--like the MS commercial
[23:24:54] sphery: "To the cloud!"
[23:25:25] sphery: (FWIW, there's actually a gaming company that's doing that--rendering on the server and pumping the video back to the client.)
[23:25:30] kormoc: I'm really amused. It's a 13W power draw, steady.

[23:25:38] Shadow__X: by anychance has the spinning beachball issue been fixed on os X .24 fixes?
[23:25:49] Valen: stupid windows ads
[23:25:53] ** kormoc blinks at Shadow__X **
[23:26:09] sphery: Shadow__X: I hear if you change your wait icon to something else, like a peeling banana, you won't see the spinning beachball
[23:27:07] kormoc: ha! no hardware accelerated vertex shaders or pixel shaders, all software done
[23:27:10] sphery: OnLive being the gaming company: http://www.onlive.com/

[23:27:43] Shadow__X: there have been a few people that have the same issue that i have on os x .24 fixes. You can navigate through the menus fine but when you go to play a video your mouse turns into the spinning beach ball and when/if keyboard input is read it is over 15 secounds later, sometimes over a minute
[23:27:57] JEDIDIAH__: hey kormoc, any thoughts on how to get Snow Leopard to stop disabling the second core on my nv mini?
[23:28:10] sphery: Shadow__X: someone said it may be because the scheduler is running and the UI gets blocked
[23:28:22] kormoc: JEDIDIAH__, not offhand. never ran into that issue
[23:28:46] sphery: sounds like it may be a thermal protection thing?
[23:28:56] sphery: are you sure the HS/Fan is working properly?
[23:29:17] Shadow__X: sphery: is there something I can do?
[23:29:42] Shadow__X: JEDIDIAH__: how hot does it get before the cpu gets disabled
[23:29:46] JEDIDIAH__: fan's on full blast and the reported temp is fine.
[23:29:56] JEDIDIAH__: it starts up like that.
[23:30:17] Shadow__X: have you reset the smc perhaps?
[23:30:47] Shadow__X: or pram. It certaintly couldn't hurt
[23:31:20] JEDIDIAH__: ok. I will try that.
[23:31:27] kormoc: check for a firmware update?
[23:31:37] JEDIDIAH__: it was running hot before, but in installed a fan controller to cool it down.
[23:32:16] sphery: Shadow__X: DELETE FROM program WHERE starttime > DATE_ADD(CURDATE(), INTERVAL 1 DAY) or starttime < DATE_ADD(CURDATE(), INTERVAL -1 DAY);
[23:32:24] sphery: then try it, and see if it's much shorter time
[23:32:40] sphery: in theory the reschedule will be much faster with much less program data
[23:33:41] Shadow__X: so the scheduler could be a problem only on os x and only on the newer .24 fixes builds?

[23:37:45] Shadow__X: would that be deleting my listings data from SD?

[23:40:05] Shadow__X: ok i have no problem testing things i just want to make sure what they do
[23:40:09] sphery: at least deleting the newer than today ones is useful: DELETE FROM program WHERE starttime > DATE_ADD(CURDATE(), INTERVAL 1 DAY);
[23:40:17] sphery: might be enough to show a difference
[23:43:50] wagnerrp: sphery: i was under the impression that ARM was more efficient per clock than an Atom for integer ops
[23:44:07] wagnerrp: but woefully inadequate for anything floating point
[23:45:07] StevenR: woo. I have streamed "live" tv over the wlan :D
[23:45:45] sphery: wagnerrp: ah, interesting

[23:49:59] sphery: wagnerrp: looks like they're at least addressing FP performance: http://eda360insider.wordpress.com/2010/11/10 . . . uperstar-ip/ -> "As you can see, general-purpose performance [of the A-15] is nearly double [that of the A8] and floating-point performance is nearly 7x. (The presenter admitted that the Cortex-A8's FPU was relatively slow.)"
[23:50:18] sphery: still don't know how 7x A8 compares to Atom or similar

[23:50:49] sphery: wonder if that was with or without the NEON
[23:51:31] Newbuntu81: Does anyone know how to pull a few specific files from a .tar.bz2 file and copy them into a specific folder?
[23:51:48] sphery: Cortex-A15 NEON Media Processing Engine (MPE): The Cortex-A15 MPE provides an engine that offers both the performance and functionality of the Cortex-A15 Floating-Point Unit plus an implementation of the NEON Advanced SIMD instruction set for further acceleration of media and signal processing functions. The MPE extends the Cortex-A15 processor's floating-point unit (FPU) to provide a quad-MAC and additional 64-bit and 128-bit register ...
[23:51:54] sphery: ... set supporting a rich set of SIMD operations over 8, 16 and 32-bit integer and 32-bit Floating-Point data quantities every cycle.
[23:51:57] sphery: http://www.arm.com/products/processors/cortex-a/cortex-a15.php on spec's tab
[23:52:06] Newbuntu81: in the folder named "/usr/src/linux-source-2.6.35", is the zipped file named "linux-source-2.6.35.tar.bz2". I need to pull out all *.h and *.c files from this directory inside the .tar.gz2 folder named "/linux-source-2.6.35/drivers/media/dvb/dvb-core/". Can you do it all in one step or do you have to untar everything, then copy it? I just want those 19 files.
[23:53:07] kenni (kenni!~kenni@mythtv/developer/kenni) has quit (Read error: Operation timed out)
[23:53:17] sphery: you could easily untar just the desired directory, see man tar for details
[23:53:24] Newbuntu81: thanks
[23:54:05] sphery: you could get even fancier and use tar tf to get a table of contents, then filter out all that you don't want and use that in a pipe to a tar xf to get just what you want, but I'd say that's not worth the effort
[23:54:38] sphery: the hard part is finding what pathname to use... it's likely either linux-source-2.6.35/drivers/media/dvb/dvb-core or drivers/media/dvb/dvb-core , but you can find out using tar tf
[23:54:46] Newbuntu81: lol. ok. I'm still new...but i'm following...somehow LOL
[23:54:58] Newbuntu81: man tar it is :-)
[23:55:33] sphery: basically, just add the path you want to extract after the tar xf
