[07:48:15] Gumby: hi all. justinh suggested I use something called eit2xmltv or something along those lines a few days ago (Mar 15 00:44:09 <justinh> i.e. eit2xmltv or whatever it's called) does anyone know the exact name of it? Been looking but cant seem to find it
[07:48:43] wagnerrp: you dont want to use EITanything
[07:50:38] FabriceMG (FabriceMG!~MARTIN@217.112.59.207) has joined #mythtv-users
[07:51:09] wagnerrp: Gumby: what exactly are you trying to do?
[07:52:13] Gumby: wagnerrp: I am pointed at two satellites. The 9 day EIT only comes from one of those satellites
[07:52:17] Gumby: but is for both
[07:52:41] wagnerrp: so ignore the whole thing and use schedules direct
[07:53:08] Gumby: well, in the past that has proved to not always be correct. especially if channels get moved around
[07:53:23] Gumby: with 0.23 I could use cross source eit and that worked well
[07:53:56] Gumby: unfortunately it has been removed from 0.24
[07:54:38] Gumby: I figured I'd look into justinh's suggestion of this "eit2xml"
[07:54:52] Gumby: sorry, eit2xmltv
[07:55:14] justinh: oh you're in the states? pfft.. SD all the way then
[07:55:23] Gumby: lol
[07:55:31] wagnerrp: yeah, shaw cable, hes canadian
[07:55:42] justinh: if you can get SD, get it
[07:55:45] justinh: basically :)
[07:56:25] Gumby: I get/got it. And I've used it in the past as mentioned. But its not always accurate as sometimes satellite channels are moved around
[07:56:49] justinh: but even using an eit to xmltv script you'd still have a headache
[07:57:58] Gumby: ok
[07:58:00] Gumby: thx
[07:58:05] justinh: anyway I didn't think you lot could get much worth watching from satellite
[07:58:18] justinh: certainly not FTA anyhow
[07:58:52] wagnerrp: some network feeds, foreign language stuff, shopping, religious, nasa
[07:59:11] justinh: like I said, much worth watching
[07:59:18] wagnerrp: although having EIT data from one bird available from another
[07:59:23] wagnerrp: sounds like some sort of service
[07:59:32] wagnerrp: i didnt know anyone offered straight DVB-S over here
[07:59:40] Gumby: there's lots out there if you think it is worth looking for it
[08:00:00] Gumby: most people dont though
[08:00:17] justinh: I've looked at the lyngsat site for that & just thought MEH
[08:13:25] ** justinh wonders if anybody's had a stab at making mythcenter icons for paul yet **
[08:16:48] justinh: btw is it just me or has the move to git made reading -commits less fun?

[11:34:26] xyzabc: how do I fix fast forwad and rewind, they used to work, but a number of releases ago they changed to just skipping a certain amount of time. this is a pain in the butt
[11:36:28] xyzabc: I tried editing the lirc file and changed the left and right keys to < and >, but still no good
[11:36:29] myco: myth has both – look in the keybindings
[11:36:46] myco: aka edit keys
[11:37:08] myco: i have both configured on diff keys
[11:37:46] xyzabc: I looked at the keybindings in mythweb and FFWDSTICKY is maked to .,> and RWDSTICKY is mapped to ,,<
[11:38:50] xyzabc: do I need to restart the server if I change the key bindings
[11:38:56] justinh: huh? no
[11:39:29] xyzabc: yeah just trying to figure out why things do seem to make sense
[11:39:50] xyzabc: the lirc file in .mythtv/lircrc is used right
[11:40:26] justinh: can't remember the last time I used ffw or rew
[11:40:41] xyzabc: you use the skipping crud
[11:40:46] justinh: maybe it was on a VCR, about 8 years ago
[11:40:52] xyzabc: the keys are not even symetric
[11:41:02] justinh: not by default, no
[11:41:08] justinh: but you can set them to whatever you want
[11:41:15] xyzabc: you try to skipp a commercial and it always goes into the show, then you skip back slowing and see all the show
[11:41:25] justinh: sigh
[11:42:02] xyzabc: how do you fix them so they are symetric at least
[11:42:18] justinh: er.. in the playback profile settings IIRC
[11:43:56] CiaranG (CiaranG!~CiaranG@fsf/member/CiaranG) has joined #mythtv-users
[11:44:15] xyzabc: it seems like in the lircrc file you can map the remote to both keys or command names. is that the case and if so what is the benifit to mapping them to keys rather than directly to command names
[11:44:17] justinh: oh wait playback *groups*
[11:44:44] justinh: no you cannot map them to command names
[11:45:11] xyzabc: o.k. I guess Right is just the name of the arrow key I see
[11:45:20] xyzabc: thought I saw somethign different
[11:45:49] xyzabc: yeah how about SEEK-60
[11:45:56] justinh: eh?
[11:46:11] justinh: I dunno where you got your lircrc file
[11:46:20] xyzabc: it is an old one
[11:46:42] xyzabc: that might have been under mplayer
[11:47:09] xyzabc: yeah I guess that is mplayer stuff, but still :volume -1
[11:48:21] justinh: so, to make yer skipping symmetrical... not that it's something you *really* want to do practically
[11:48:47] justinh: utils/setup > setup > TV settings > playback groups..
[11:50:25] justinh: the default skip settings aren't symettrical for good reason
[11:50:44] ** justinh is very glad some people don't make major design decisions for mythtv ;-) **
[11:52:09] xyzabc: does not appear to be a skip time for these in that menu
[11:52:53] justinh: if you've not set up any extra playback groups you need to go into *Default*

[11:58:31] xyzabc: if I change the lircrc I assume I need to restart the frontend. Found the groups settings, maybe if I custmize it that will work quiet a bit better
[11:59:28] justinh: yeah you need to restart mythfrontend when you change anything in the lircrc file. it's only ever read once
[12:09:28] xyzabc: any idea what the repeat=3 in the lircrc file means
[12:09:38] justinh: yup
[12:09:43] justinh: I read the lirc docs

[12:36:04] xyzabc: the repeat option helps a lot
[12:36:34] justinh: unless you have a harmony remote – which helpfully limits the repeat rate itself. Boo!
[12:36:47] xyzabc: no, don't have harmony
[12:37:13] justinh: you can only turn down the inter-key delay to 100ms :-(
[12:37:25] xyzabc: where is that
[12:37:34] justinh: on the harmony remotes I mean
[12:38:02] xyzabc: I see, that stinks I have the old radioshack remote that I saw recommened somewhere it really rocks
[12:38:06] justinh: mind, any faster than that & my 515 would likely just crash faster & more often
[12:38:48] xyzabc: what do most people do for IR receiver. I am using the one on my old pvr250 which is useless except for that now
[12:39:16] justinh: I suspect the majority of people use MCE remotes & receivers
[12:39:25] justinh: or whatever junk they get with their tuner card
[12:40:26] xyzabc: yeah I guess I saved a couple bucks. i was able to map all the keys on the radio shack remote using unused portions of the frequency range for the one that came with the tuner card. worked out very well
[12:40:31] wagnerrp: i seriously dont know how you ever managed to crash your remote
[12:40:41] wagnerrp: ive never had any kind of problems like that
[12:40:44] justinh: wagnerrp: it happens
[12:40:53] xyzabc: ha
[12:41:05] justinh: and plenty people say it never happened to them too, but there are reports of harmony remotes locking up on the interwebs
[12:41:23] xyzabc: impossible
[12:41:47] wagnerrp: i mean four of them over five years, im surprised ive never seen it
[12:42:08] xyzabc: why so many
[12:42:27] justinh: I've had my remote lock up a few times in the last few months where it'll get stuck sending a button I've held down to scroll or something
[12:42:38] wagnerrp: upgrades, and they have a nasty habit of losing buttons after a few years
[12:42:42] justinh: the only way out of that is to flick a battery out & power cycle it
[12:42:46] wagnerrp: and this is for two tvs
[12:43:50] xyzabc: I have had my cheapo radioshack remote forever
[12:44:15] justinh: I'd still be using the OFA-6 if it had enough buttons
[12:44:27] justinh: or at least adequately named buttons

[12:45:26] xyzabc: yeah the button names are a bit of an issue
[12:46:03] xyzabc: but after enough program surfing you forget about it and it becomes automatic
[12:47:33] justinh: no INFO key.. no GUIDE key.. meh
[12:48:02] xyzabc: of course now that my windows pc doesn't have a parallel port for programming it I'll have to see if I can do it from my linux box through virtual machine
[12:48:18] justinh: heh JP1..
[12:48:23] xyzabc: yeah
[12:48:31] justinh: I bought a new OFA remote just for that. haven't got round to trying it out yet
[12:48:48] justinh: URC-7555 IIRC
[12:49:12] xyzabc: I almost feel like writing a native linux program to program it, but the windows excel one is hard to beat
[12:49:41] xyzabc: could write an open office version I suppose, but then what is the point

[12:50:09] wagnerrp: programming through excel? now youre sounding like a hollywood writer
[12:50:29] justinh: I thought the excel thing was only for working out codes
[12:50:43] xyzabc: the the algorithmns to generate the code block to load on the remote if I recall correctly
[12:51:10] xyzabc: yes, I always have to do it in excel to get everything perfect
[12:51:18] justinh: IIRC remotemaster should 'just work' on linux
[12:52:23] xyzabc: welll the issue is that I have to capture some remotes codes on the jp1 remote upload them and edit things. the IR receiver I have won't capture any other signals
[12:52:37] xyzabc: at least as far as I know
[12:53:13] justinh: I managed to make my OFA remote control my cable box by learning it with a homebrew serial lirc receiver & doing some translation
[12:56:07] xyzabc: well doing the programing of my jp1 remote still requires the windows apps, but if I can run it in the virtual machine that is acceptable I guess
[12:56:19] wagnerrp: not really
[12:56:52] xyzabc: how do you build the firmware code to load on it?
[12:57:40] justinh: you don't build firmware for the harmony
[12:57:41] xyzabc: haven't looked at it in a while, but there were macros etc. that needed to be configured
[12:57:44] justinh: it's all closed
[12:57:47] xyzabc: ahh you are talking harmeny I see
[12:58:00] xyzabc: can you program harmony from linux
[12:58:09] justinh: apparently, but I wouldn't want to try
[12:58:17] wagnerrp: technically you cant cant program a harmony from windows
[12:58:52] xyzabc: well how do you load on different devices that you download from their site
[12:59:08] wagnerrp: they have a web application that configures the remote and builds configuration files
[12:59:16] xyzabc: through windows
[12:59:27] wagnerrp: the 'driver' is just a bit of glue to proxy the files through to the harmony
[12:59:40] wagnerrp: and there is a third party set of drivers for linux, but ive never tried them
[13:00:08] wagnerrp: along with some styling for the web application
[13:02:27] wagnerrp: why do people make accounts places, and then never use them?
[13:02:30] xyzabc: "them mordred evil spawn of morgan lefay has the power

[14:08:01] Bop: how to detect card , channels ,and so on
[14:08:10] Bop: but for dvb-t

[14:08:45] Bop: where is that option

[16:15:33] MMlosh: skd5aner, you think so.. but you've never tried
[16:15:46] MMlosh: wagnerrp, but I'd get a lot of irrelevant messages, right?

[16:16:01] skd5aner: 1.4 and 1.5 is about as fast as it gets for me
[16:16:14] wagnerrp: so use an under-utilized verbose tag

[16:16:53] MMlosh: wagnerrp, that sounds interesting.. can you point me to some howto?
[16:17:04] skd5aner: I've probably watched 500+ episodes at 1.4, that anytime I catch it at 1.0, it's SOOOOOOO SLOW – especially the theme song
[16:17:29] MMlosh: hehe...

[16:19:22] skd5aner: If I've watched 500 episodes of a 30 min show, with commskip, that would be about 24 aired per show
[16:19:41] wagnerrp: just search for 'VERBOSE'
[16:19:53] skd5aner: at 1.4x, I'd save about 20% of the watching time, which would be about 4.8 minutes/show
[16:19:53] wagnerrp: should be plenty of examples on how to use it
[16:19:59] wagnerrp: that is... in the mythtv source code
[16:20:20] skd5aner: which is 2400 minutes over 500 shows – or, 40 hours of saved time
[16:20:37] skd5aner: yay time stretch!
[16:20:38] MMlosh: wagnerrp, thanks.. I found it... now the other end – how to show the messages?
[16:21:03] wagnerrp: you look at the logs
[16:22:12] MMlosh: ok
[16:22:24] skd5aner: Better yet – mythweb says I've recorded 975 episodes of The Colbert Report (#1 recorded show)
[16:22:58] skd5aner: That's 4680 saved minutes, or 78 hours :D

[16:26:17] MMlosh: wagnerrp, going from the debugged UI element and back to log is not practical
[16:26:37] wagnerrp: so run it in a window, with the terminal open scrolling logs in another window
[16:26:47] MMlosh: unless the log is a file.. I assumed it's in the database and I was wrong
[16:27:00] wagnerrp: or even run it remotely over ssh, and watch the logs on a whole other computer
[16:27:12] wagnerrp: the 'logs' being the stuff mythfrontend dumps to the terminal

[16:46:28] wagnerrp: IMO, there should always be at least one backend always running
[16:46:42] skd5aner: yea, my master serves as a file and web server too
[16:46:47] skd5aner: so, that's got to be 24x7

[16:47:29] skd5aner: but my frontend has an hd-pvr attached to it, and is only used for recording via the hd-pvr and as a frontend which typically is only used in the evenings for watching
[16:47:53] wagnerrp: personally, id like to see mythwelcome killed off
[16:48:02] wagnerrp: allow socket re-announcement
[16:48:06] wagnerrp: so in the main menu
[16:48:12] wagnerrp: the frontend could drop back to 'monitor'
[16:48:14] skd5aner: I ought to hook my my kill-a-watt to it for a few days and see what the power profile looks like
[16:48:19] wagnerrp: which would allow the backend to shut down

[17:57:31] wagnerrp: now, if you set PREFIX to /opt/mythtv, the bindings would be installed to /opt/mythtv/lib/python2.6/site-packages/MythTV

[18:24:31] wagnerrp: if you are streaming content through mythweb, you are streaming it unaltered
[18:24:59] wagnerrp: there are no requirements in mythweb, only requirements on the player for being capable of handling the video, and the network (or internet) capable of handling the bitrate
[18:25:00] Perdignus: Sorry, I'm having trouble getting thumnails for recorded programs as well an inability to stream and I thought it might have to do with my ffmpeg's capabilities

[18:26:03] Captain_Murdoch: so he's asking if ffmpeg saying it supports "flv" is what mythweb needs to encode to flv
[18:26:05] wagnerrp: oh, youre wondering if your currently installed version of ffmpeg meets its needs
[18:26:07] wagnerrp: right....
[18:26:25] Perdignus: correc
[18:26:33] wagnerrp: i thought you were asking if certain content you had were capable of streaming

[21:56:13] sphery: as are most on the -users list
[21:56:19] kormoc: Yeah :(
[21:56:21] sphery: but thanks for trying--you did much better than I would have
[22:04:06] sphery: best solution would be for this guy to get at least one tuner to dedicate to mythtv
[22:06:49] skd5aner: if only most cable companies didn't "rent" STBs at a monthly rate :/
[22:06:50] devinheitmueller: when it comes to scheduler heuristics, you will never make everybody happy.
[22:07:08] kormoc: sphery, okay... I got a little snippy in my reply...
[22:07:14] sphery: heh
[22:07:19] kormoc: sphery, he does have multiple tuners
[22:07:20] sphery: understandably
[22:07:30] devinheitmueller: In fact, given how few people understand how complicated the topic is, in most cases you will think it's easier than it sounds.
[22:07:44] sphery: kormoc: yeah, but he seems to want to steal them all for some periods?
[22:07:55] kormoc: sphery, not all of them, just two of the three I believe?
[22:08:14] sphery: devinheitmueller: that's /definitely/ true--and why so many people just don't get why changing the input priority doesn't tell MythTV what order to use tuners
[22:08:49] sphery: kormoc: ah, that's not too bad... if he sets up the dedicated one as the primary in mythtv (lowest input number), then it probably won't affect his scheduling all that much
[22:08:59] kormoc: I'm eagerly awaiting Simon's fixes to the scheduler optimizations I made. I mean he thinks that doubling the data mustn't take any more time to process!
[22:09:02] devinheitmueller: I suspect most people will never appreciate how complicated it is unless they take some time to try to implement their own heuristic.
[22:09:06] kormoc: sphery, exactly
[22:09:16] sphery: especially the reschedule higher priorities stuff
[22:09:22] skd5aner: is this the guy who wants to make sure his tuner attached to his STB isn't used during certain hours of the day so his family can use that STB?
[22:09:24] kormoc: yeah... that's a PITA
[22:09:29] kormoc: skd5aner, yes
[22:09:32] sphery: the frequency with which that actually hits is /very/ low in normal mythtv systems
[22:09:33] skd5aner: is it a slave backend?
[22:09:35] kormoc: well, the guy arguing isn't that guy
[22:09:40] sphery: so not really changing much
[22:09:54] kormoc: the guy arguing is claiming that the guy who wants to lock out tuners is able to write his own grabber (and intends to)
[22:10:12] skd5aner: If that tuner is the only tuner, and it's in a slave backend – just have him run some cronjob or something that turns off mythbackend between certain hours, and that tuner will never be used
[22:10:18] sphery: kormoc: I have a feeling he'll just do a delete from program where...
[22:10:24] skd5aner: and, the scheduler will compensate by rescheduling
[22:10:26] sphery: and will leave broken data in the db
[22:10:31] devinheitmueller: kormoc: Well, writing a grabber is easy to. You just have to parse some XML crap, right?
[22:10:33] devinheitmueller: :-)
[22:10:44] kormoc: sphery, that's actually what he said, aye
[22:10:46] sphery: (i.e. won't properly handle the edges

[22:11:16] skd5aner: wouldn't my scenario work?
[22:11:24] kormoc: but he wants the data for the always available tuner, so he needs to duplicate the data and then trim, and then reschedule...
[22:11:36] skd5aner: huh?
[22:11:45] skd5aner: what's the point of that?
[22:11:46] sphery: after all, when you ask for advice on the -users list and you get one reply from developers and a different reply from random users who feel compelled to hit reply and argue
[22:11:46] kormoc: skd5aner, cause he wants to optimize the recordings (he being Simon, not the parent)
[22:11:56] sphery: it makes sense to choose to follow the instructions provided by random users

[22:12:07] sphery: since, of course, they would know best how MythTV works
[22:12:18] kormoc: sphery, yeah, that's what I got snippy about...
[22:12:20] skd5aner: sphery: in all fairness, users (even random ones) can have good advice from time to time ;)
[22:12:41] kormoc: I mean, I obviously wouldn't know the scheduler or mythfilldatabase, I only helped speed it up for 0.24.
[22:12:54] skd5aner: kormoc: well, I don't get that I guess...
[22:12:55] sphery: skd5aner: they can, but in the event when their advice is at odds with developers' advice, the devs will generally say, "Ah, yeah, you're right," at some point
[22:13:07] skd5aner: kormoc: it's his requirement, I know your just re-airing it
[22:13:12] kormoc: yeah
[22:13:39] skd5aner: kormoc: but if the the tuner is unavailable, the scheduler will figure out what to do on any rule that allows more than 1 recording
[22:13:46] kormoc: skd5aner, yes
[22:14:03] sphery: skd5aner: even if it's a single record find rule
[22:14:21] sphery: (just not for time slot rules--which users shouldn't ever use except in the most dire of circumstances)
[22:14:46] kormoc: skd5aner, Simon (not the requesting user) feels it's broken, as when you have 'reschedule higher priority recordings' turned on, you'd lose some recordings you might want, and if you turn that feature off (the default) you lose out on the optimal number of recordings! This means the answer is BROKEN! BROKEN I SAY!
[22:14:48] skd5aner: I've got an HD-PVR hooked up to my SBE, if I want exclusive access to the STB hooked up to it, I could just do a "service mythbackend stop" and bam... anything that would have recorded on that tuner goes away, maybe even goes to a Different tuner (unlikely in my scenario) or gets rescheduled
[22:14:48] sphery: i.e. those tie the scheduler's hands--and /that/ will cause far more scheduling issues than locking a tuner with a script when you don't want it used
[22:15:01] skd5aner: kormoc: ahh
[22:15:13] skd5aner: sorry – I know I could probably read this all myself :)
[22:15:13] kormoc: skd5aner, via the python bindings, you can just lock the tuner and keep the slave backend running so it can serve up content/etc

[22:16:57] kormoc: yes
[22:17:12] kormoc: but it's easy enough to sleep until a specified time
[22:17:25] sphery: or event
[22:17:31] skd5aner: either way – this is all a hack
[22:17:32] sphery: or until the process is killed
[22:17:45] skd5aner: I guess, as a feature request, it's not a terrible one, but definitely more of a corner case
[22:17:51] sphery: skd5aner: yes, the /idea/ of stealing tuners from mythtv every day between certain times is a hack
[22:18:09] sphery: and if a user wants this, they should just set up recording rules that take it into account
[22:18:14] sphery: custom rules ftw!
[22:18:34] sphery: "But I don't want to have to do a custom rule for all my recordings."
[22:18:35] skd5aner: however – I could definitely see times where I would want/use a feature such as telling my HD-PVR that it needs to stop controlling my STB for a little bit (when I have guests over who are using the TV/STB) without going in and killing mythbackend
[22:19:04] skd5aner: sphery: that would be a pain, heh
[22:19:05] kormoc: skd5aner, for that just remove the source to input mapping for the tuner.
[22:19:06] sphery: "It's obviously /far/ more resource intensive. I like efficiency." (even if I don't understand the meaning of efficiency, let alone the code about which I'm making assumptions)
[22:19:27] skd5aner: kormoc: in mythtv-setup?
[22:19:32] sphery: and the capture card itself
[22:19:32] kormoc: skd5aner, yeah
[22:19:40] sphery: defined, but unconnected cards are a problem
[22:19:51] skd5aner: I mean, yea – that'd work – just not user friendly
[22:19:58] sphery: (adding a card takes all of 3 seconds, though)
[22:20:07] kormoc: sphery, I've run it before, it works well enough for a weekend of guests
[22:20:24] sphery: kormoc: yeah, it will work for a while, but the bounds of "while" aren't defined
[22:20:27] kormoc: I had to leave the card defined, as mythbackend wouldn't run without one (at the time)
[22:20:30] skd5aner: wife is telling me that I've got to get on the grill or else she's going out to eat without me... lol – later guys
