[00:53:26] Gumby: hi all, I have 4 satellites setup in mythtv and each is working great. the issue I am having is with schedules direct. Two of the satellites are getting guide data perfectly, two of the satellites are not. All of my channels are set to NOT get guide data over the air and each satellite is set to use its own source. Is there something I am missing?
[00:54:11] plotino (plotino!~miles@host190-191-dynamic.10-87-r.retail.telecomitalia.it) has joined #mythtv-users
[00:55:20] wagnerrp: id you line up the xmltvids properly?
[00:56:12] Gumby: I'm not sure/dont think so, Ive never had to do that before.
[00:56:24] Gumby: where is this done?
[00:56:27] wagnerrp: did you have to scan your channels?
[00:56:44] Gumby: I scanned them in yes
[00:57:14] wagnerrp: then you need to specify the xmltvids for each channel before you will receive guide data from schedules direct
[00:57:28] wagnerrp: you can do so in the channel editor, either in mythtv-setup, mythfrontend, or mythweb
[00:57:40] wagnerrp: or if youre using 0.25, in the web setup utility
[00:57:49] Gumby: hrm, ok. I never had to do that for the first two satellites (same provider). Perhaps it is different for the other two
[00:57:54] Twiggy2cents (Twiggy2cents!~darren@66-87-2-159.pools.spcsdns.net) has joined #mythtv-users
[00:58:09] wagnerrp: are these using DVBS cards? or STBs and analog capture?
[00:58:10] Gumby: how do I know what the xmltvid is?
[00:58:14] Gumby: dvb cards
[00:58:33] wagnerrp: go onto your schedules direct account, select a lineup, and mouse over a channel
[00:58:42] wagnerrp: the xmltvid will be visible in the popup
[00:59:54] Gumby: I see. Ok, I see the difference between two sample channels now. Indeed one has an xmltvid and the other does not. I guess it is not pulling it properly from the stream when scanning
[01:00:14] wagnerrp: iamlindoro: just a thought...
[01:00:28] wagnerrp: the jquery stuff we have for the backend setup supports drag-and-drop, right?
[01:01:00] wagnerrp: would it be possible to have a third pane in the channel editor that pulls up the attached SD lineup for that source
[01:01:14] wagnerrp: and then just drag SD channels on top of the scanned channels
[01:01:52] wagnerrp: i never did like that whole mouseover thing on schedules direct
[01:03:44] Gumby: ah, I see what went wrong
[01:04:28] Gumby: I renumbered the channels from one source (the one that is failing). According to a post I just read, you need to run mythfilldatabase once before doing this or else you wont get a match and the xmltvid wont get written to the db
[01:05:34] wagnerrp: yes, if the numbering handled out by the channel table in the transport stream matches up with what schedules direct expects, mythfilldatabase can automatically match up xmltvids

[01:09:45] Gumby: I'll give it a shot. I'll renumber my 1st two satellites and then put the 2nd two back to their original numbers. Run mythfilldatabase, and then renumber both again.
[01:10:00] Twiggy2cents: is it typical for a recording to be ~53 minutes instead of an hour, I have it set to record 0 minutes before/after.
[01:12:30] wagnerrp: what reads as 53 minutes?
[01:12:44] wagnerrp: is that what the OSD status bar is telling you?
[01:12:57] Twiggy2cents: yes
[01:13:07] wagnerrp: what version of mythtv are you running?
[01:13:19] Twiggy2cents: hang on, it might just be the ui
[01:13:22] Twiggy2cents: let me check
[01:15:48] Twiggy2cents: I have no proof now, I cleaned house and no longer have any that have this issue. I may of imagined it.
[01:16:14] wagnerrp: no it is/was a real issue
[01:16:18] wagnerrp: what version of mythtv are you running?
[01:16:24] Twiggy2cents: As far as version, 0.24-fixes
[01:16:33] Twiggy2cents: if it matters, mythbuntu BE fedora FE
[01:16:40] wagnerrp: and youre certain this has happened AFTER upgrading to 0.24?
[01:17:06] Twiggy2cents: Yes
[01:17:47] wagnerrp: there was formerly an issue where some funky encoding on digital interlaced broadcasts would be improperly measured
[01:17:52] Twiggy2cents: I havent ever missed anything so it wasnt ever a big deal
[01:17:57] wagnerrp: but that should have been fixed already
[01:18:03] wagnerrp: and it was superficial only
[01:18:21] wagnerrp: playback occurred fine, at normal speed, and the full recording existed
[01:20:18] Twiggy2cents: So if that is the case, that must be why I never missed anything
[01:21:40] Gumby: thanks for the help wagnerp. It put me in the right direction and all is looking good now

[07:20:43] scaroo: Hi everyone. I currently uses myth on a very lowend system as a media center (ie. no DVR). Thus, I am not using the backend at all and am looking for a way to avoid the "Cant connect to the backend...." error dialog. Does any of you has some tip on the regard ? Thanks !
[07:22:03] wagnerrp: run the backend

[07:26:37] scaroo: wagnerrp: the computer is very memory-constraint (256mo) and has no tuner. Myth works fine as a simple media center without the backend apart from the aformentioned dialogs. I understand frontend-only aint supported by the mythtv team, but there might be a way to tell th frontend "ok, mate, you are alone in this", right ?
[07:28:01] wagnerrp: you can rewrite mythtv/libs/libmythbase/mythcorecontext.cpp to prevent it from connecting to the master backend, and alter the relevant methods to return errors
[07:28:34] wagnerrp: mythfrontend alone will not be happy with only 256MB of memory anyway

[07:29:03] wagnerrp: and likely any machine with only 256MB of memory is going to be too ancient to be of any worth for playback
[07:29:23] kormoc: scaroo, in short, no, there isn't a way to disable that dialog
[07:29:53] kormoc: scaroo, and we're moving all the media management for videos/etc into the backend anyway, so you'll have to run it eventually if you continue to upgrade

[07:31:23] wagnerrp: yeah, im currently on a 10yr old laptop about that old
[07:31:40] wagnerrp: its good enough for standard definition mpeg2 and mpeg4
[07:31:45] wagnerrp: anything h264 is out of the question
[07:32:05] wagnerrp: and using the frontend was painful when i took the extra 128Mb chip out and tried with only the remaining 256MB
[07:32:34] wagnerrp: it would probably be enough for a 640x480 display with no artwork
[07:32:48] wagnerrp: but use as an HD display is again out of the question
[07:33:57] scaroo: wagnerrp: well, that is basically my config, light theme on a sdtv, so for now, I am fine doing archeology. But indeed when money will allow it and a superduper lcd will apear in my room, it'll be time for a hardware upgrade
[07:34:19] wagnerrp: kormoc: i would have argued that a couple days ago, saying it was in the plans to keep some form of local file access for removable storage
[07:34:51] wagnerrp: but apparently the real plan is to use a stripped down backend (fileserver only) running on the frontend for access to that content
[07:35:17] kormoc: yeah

[07:35:24] scaroo: wagnerrp, kormoc : so the backend will become a upnp server of some sort ?
[07:35:38] wagnerrp: not upnp, mythbackend
[07:35:48] kormoc: scaroo, well... it already is... but it'll be the part we use to handle media, aye
[07:35:49] wagnerrp: mythtv has its own internal protocol it uses for communication
[07:36:06] kormoc: scaroo, if you know of other media centers, it's a similar model to plex
[07:36:41] kormoc: you run a media server (backend) on boxes with content, run media consumers on devices you want to see the media on, and the two just mesh and do the right thing (tm)(r)
[07:36:47] wagnerrp: the frontends can use upnp to discover the backend, but that is the extent upnp is used internally

[07:37:27] kormoc: Beirdo, tis the goal!
[07:37:41] kormoc: Beirdo, and Mr. wagnerrp and Mr. sph-ery have been working towards it
[07:37:45] scaroo: wagnerrp: ok, nice. But dont want to be controversial, but why not make the medai handling upnp too ? That'd allow to use other frontends, being desktop applications or mediacenter
[07:38:08] kormoc: scaroo, we'll continue to expose media via UPnP, but it's limited in it's feature set
[07:38:09] wagnerrp: we do have a upnp server running in the backend that does serve content to 3rd party upnp clients
[07:38:13] wagnerrp: we just dont use it internally
[07:38:26] Beirdo: heh, we have been working that direction, yes. :) Doubt it will ever be upnp as upnp sucks in comparison to what we need
[07:38:31] wagnerrp: as our internal protocol has far greater needs than can be provided by upnp
[07:39:11] Beirdo: so now I get the fun of putting this design up onto github
[07:39:15] scaroo: allright, got it :) Thanks for your insight, guys.
[07:39:43] ** kormoc pokes the internet. Go faster! **
[07:39:57] kormoc: Why don't we have 10gigE in datacenters yet?
[07:40:41] wagnerrp: its expensive as sh**?
[07:41:04] kormoc: Yeah yeah yeah...
[07:41:19] scaroo: another (unrelated) question: is there a way to make the joystick control continue scrolling and such when keepig holding a direction ?
[07:41:50] wagnerrp: mythtv does support joystick control, but its a rather underused feature
[07:42:02] wagnerrp: i honestly dont have any clue how it is supposed to behave
[07:42:34] trumee: i want to record all the tv via the stb and thus have made it as the last video source. In FE there are two choices "Avoid conflicts between LiveTV and scheduled shows" and "Allow LiveTV to move scheduled shows". do i need to enable these?
[07:42:53] trumee: my intention is to always record using stb and i dont care too much about LiveTV
[07:43:09] kormoc: wouldn't you make it the first one if you don't use live tv then?
[07:43:26] trumee: LiveTV can take its feed from two analog tuners
[07:43:29] wagnerrp: it wouldnt matter, since no scheduler order is determined by the video source
[07:43:56] wagnerrp: (using mythtv-setup terminology)

[07:44:12] kormoc: wagnerrp, that's not entirely true. In the event of a tie, we do assign based on tuner row order (not necessarily id order)
[07:44:18] trumee: wagnerrp: i thought the last video source is used primarily for recording.
[07:44:42] wagnerrp: kormoc: tuner, not video source
[07:44:56] trumee: kormoc: i do use livetv
[07:45:00] kormoc: trumee, I think the only one who knows for sure is Mr. Dean. I think he's posted on the mailing list some pretty complete documents on it
[07:45:05] wagnerrp: 'video source' being the thing that holds the channels
[07:45:26] trumee: wagnerrp: oops, i mean the Tuner not the Video source
[07:45:28] kormoc: ahh, yes. I just misread and thought he said tuner
[07:46:27] trumee: so do i need to enable the two settings above in FE?
[07:46:53] kormoc: I wouldn't know, and I'd search the mailing list for the posts explaining it if I was you

[08:48:22] justinh: scaroo: PAL is technically 720x576 interlaced. NTSC is 720x480 interlaced – but if you're using a TV-out (i.e. svideo) it'll make no difference what you do with modelines since the tv output encoder on the VGA card will rescale it
[08:49:17] justinh: the only time it'd make any difference with a CRT TV is if you're using an analogue VGA output either directly, or converting the signal somehow
[08:50:12] scaroo: justinh: but isn't the rescaling causing data loss compared to feeding the encoder with the alread right res/refresh rate ?
[08:50:31] justinh: data loss? no
[08:50:53] justinh: possibly some quality loss, yes
[08:51:10] scaroo: yeah that's wat i meant, sorry :)
[08:51:21] justinh: but it's generally better, where a TV encoder is concerned, to feed it with as high as resolution as practicable
[08:51:59] justinh: note that anything above a given limit *will* result in detail being lost, but that's a limitation of the TV standard more than anything else
[08:53:02] justinh: and FWIW you'd be wasting your time trying to output interlaced video through X since there's no means of the driver & player software knowing which field is currently being output – meaning there's a 50–50 chance the fields are being output in the wrong order

[08:56:24] justinh: use whichever res looks best to you. Simples :-)
[08:56:55] justinh: some tv encoders are better at scaling than others – meaning different resolutions may result in different proportions of the TV screen being used

[08:58:42] justinh: YMMV. I've seen some really horrible TV outputs on video hardware – on older nvidia cards, chrontel TV encoder chips were used & they *sucked*
[09:03:18] justinh: fwiw I use 800x600 for my 16:9 PAL 32" CRT. mostly because intel don't do widescreen modes with TVout

[09:30:25] justinh: and besides, who the hell wants to PAY to watch teevees at a bitrate lower than what's already broadcast?
[09:30:59] justinh: the picture quality of the cable on-demand stuff is very, very good
[09:31:40] justinh: kormoc: how much does microwave broadband cost to install anyway? ;-)
[09:31:52] justinh: mind, I bet it's cheaper than digging up road
[09:32:22] kormoc: justinh, $100 one time install fee, $60 a month after taxes and fees for 100 mbit/100 mbit
[09:32:23] scaroo: justinh: french isps broadcast mpeg4 hd content without issue, i am pretty sure you islanders have the same quality (apart from still having monarcs you are also in 2011 :P)

[09:36:11] justinh: I could get HD on cable.. but there's no way I'm willing to pay that much for it. Same goes for satellite
[09:36:21] justinh: it's the same crap, but in high def
[09:37:22] scaroo: justinh: should cross channel (the geographical one). Here for 30e tv+adsl 100mb+phone+nice media center hw for 35e/month.
[09:37:53] justinh: I wouldn't even pay *that*
[09:38:24] justinh: 10Mbit is enough for me, I don't even use the phone line, and there's NO TV worth paying for IMHO
[09:39:24] hashbang: morning all
[09:39:26] justinh: even the pay as you go type packages are charging stupid prices like £1 per show
[09:40:09] hashbang: justinh: same here re. HD. I suspect I'll only upgrade to HD when my current SD CRT dies, and it'll mostly be for BD, consoles, and streaming stuff from MythTV
[09:40:40] justinh: I'm only gonna do streaming once I've got hardware flash plays well with, without tearing & looking gash

[09:43:54] justinh: if the UI sucked less we could probably get away with using that exclusively

[09:44:16] justinh: which is bound to happen eventually

[09:46:59] mycosys: didnt think u were allowed to talk about BT here (lol)
[09:47:10] justinh: lol
[09:47:34] justinh: that £28 p.m. has a 40GB per month usage cap. That's pretty generous. I mean, how many linux ISOs is that?
[09:49:22] justinh: 40GB == "59 movies'. says their page. iTunes movies? Que? Seems pretty vague

[10:21:57] justinh: or am I confusing multifeed with the new thing where everything just uses one coax for it all?
[10:23:16] guar: sorry I do not know. I have a antanna with three lnbs, then a diseqc 4/1 switch and then one cable going in
[10:24:13] justinh: doh I was confusing it with unicable
[10:24:55] guar: works fine with a sat reciver, under windows but not with mythtv. if I connect only one lnb and bypass the switch, I get a signal of that satelite
[10:25:11] guar: no probs ;)

Still have the problem – screen blanks after a few minutes & will not come back, only reboot solves the problem. Has anyone encountered this issue before? please help.
[13:51:49] wizworks: also, using HDMI connection for both sound and video.
[13:52:48] mycosys: mythbuntu=ubuntu+ubuntu myth packages
[13:52:51] mycosys: no difference
[13:54:10] wizworks: mycosys: I've seen a difference... used mythbuntu before this (and on 10.4) but the version of MythTV had different features. This "plain vanilla" install seems to have a newer copy of mythTV. But that still doesn't solve my problem.
[13:54:38] mycosys: `if you used ubuntu packages they are exactly the same mythtv
[13:54:42] mycosys: exactly
[13:55:04] mycosys: tho you CAN choose to have newer versions if you use the mythbuntu ppa repos
[13:55:20] wizworks: mycosys: I realize what you're saying and in theory, yes – that *should* be the case, but between the two installs – some things are different.
[13:55:23] mycosys: the only way you get 'plain vanilla' is to compile them yourself from source
[13:56:46] mycosys: did you install using mythbuntu-control-center?
[13:56:52] wizworks: the mythbuntu install also seemed a bit wonky, which is why I elected to install the regular ubuntu and try again. Only this time I cannot get the darned screen to stop blanking – very annoying. Can you please suggest a fix?
[13:57:34] mycosys: did you let mythbuntu-control-center configure and install myth for you?
[13:57:45] mycosys: i would suggest you do that
[13:57:46] wizworks: I shall check to see if that package is installed... I don't recall installing that.
[13:58:05] mycosys: that is the ONE package you should install on ubuntu to install myth
[13:58:22] mycosys: it does the rest, all the deps, the config, the lot

[14:11:25] mycosys: prolly need a vpn i think
[14:11:33] wizworks: I can open one.
[14:11:44] mycosys: would be insane for it to work otherwise
[14:12:10] mycosys: x forwarding over the net is gonna be SLOW

[14:40:13] wagnerrp: of course they are lying when they say its the manufacturer's doing

[14:43:15] wagnerrp: they are required to make multistream cards available, and set them up with any compliant cablecard compatible device
[14:43:29] wagnerrp: that was the flip side of removing the firewire requirement
[14:43:43] dmz: but it's the same thing in the end
[14:44:44] wagnerrp: meaning?
[14:45:33] dmz: well the 1394 provides the HD stream
[14:45:36] dmz: the card provides the HD stream
[14:46:05] dmz: it's accessing same info; seems silly to not require firewire but then allow the ability for a direct card interface
[14:46:06] wagnerrp: yes, it will capture the same digital stream as firewire formerly did

[14:46:33] wagnerrp: technically, that direct card interface was required around five years ago
[14:46:34] dmz: someone should update the myth wiki for firewire pulling out the fcc stuff
[14:47:16] dmz: i wrote an email to the ceo of my local cable company; i live in a small community where there is no other carrier available (one for phone/internet/tv, and only one available)
[14:47:17] wagnerrp: cable providers have been required to support cable cards for over five years, and even their own set top boxes internally carry a cablecard for decryption
[14:48:11] dmz: just had to write back :( maybe he'll be nice and still enable it but doubtful
[14:48:15] wagnerrp: the difference is that cable companies would arbitrarily not support devices they 'didnt like', evenif they were compliant devices
[14:48:35] dmz: i don't care for their support just enable it  :)
[14:48:42] wagnerrp: in addition to the fact that the cablelabs licensing restrictions meant there were only about a dozen compliant devices as of last year
[14:49:27] wagnerrp: the hdhomerun prime has effectively been production ready since last april, and their engineers have been using it with mythtv ever since
[14:49:50] wagnerrp: its been this long for them to pass cablelabs' licensing testing (they just passed a few days ago)
[14:50:10] dmz: wow
[14:50:15] dmz: how much will that card cost?
[14:50:36] wagnerrp: not a card, external network attached box
[14:50:42] wagnerrp: three tuners ~$250
[14:50:57] dmz: ah
[14:51:00] wagnerrp: but... you replace three cable box rentals with a ~$5 multistream rental
[14:51:13] wagnerrp: so it makes up for itself pretty quickly
[14:51:27] dmz: i don't have any monthly rental costs

[15:02:45] wizworks: it would connect, but I could not run the desktop or app session.
[15:02:57] wizworks: I think it may have to do with some dependency.

[15:05:22] mycosys: odd – too tired now to figure out

[15:36:20] Digdilem: normal transmission quality
[15:36:25] sphery: wagnerrp: it's semi-smart rotation. It rotates based on the filename, where the filename must match the rotateglob and can be properly sorted through an ascii-betical sort

[15:39:06] sphery: FWIW, it works properly with the default file name formats
[15:39:28] wagnerrp: sphery: i mean it just deletes them sequentially, rather than leave gaps
[15:39:53] wagnerrp: i.e. leave backups prior to schema updates, leave a backup at one week, two weeks, four weeks, etc...
[15:39:54] sphery: yeah, oldest out
[15:40:02] sphery: nothing like that

[15:44:52] justinh: heh
[15:45:13] justinh: git checkouts are much bigger downloads than svn checkouts

[15:49:19] rooter7: Seems like I should start fresh, like before.
[15:50:15] rooter7: Has to be a different directory? Can't specify a new directory with a second arg?

[15:58:17] wagnerrp: services?
[15:58:26] rooter7: Shorewall blocked it. Any way to make it use 80?
[15:58:33] sphery: list of port numbers with a "human readable service name"
[15:58:39] wagnerrp: use the https link at the top of the page?
[15:58:45] sphery: basically so apps can give/use real names versus numbers
[15:58:45] rooter7: (/etc/services)
[15:58:50] justinh: time to head home
[15:59:30] sphery: rooter7: so, yeah, use http to use port 80 and you won't have firewall issues

[16:00:03] sphery: https://github.com/MythTV/mythtv/tree/ , see the "SSH|HTTP|Git Read-Only", hit "HTTP"
[16:00:14] wagnerrp: considering its an https link, not http
[16:00:25] sphery: well, 443
[16:00:34] sphery: whatever... just not a git-specific port

[16:07:19] sphery: last "bug" (FRWOP) I filed there got ignored--don't think it even made it past moderation
[16:08:18] rooter7: WTH? after the git download it does not say what version it is. How are we supposed to know?
[16:09:17] sphery: kormoc: (that bug included references to all the past tickets that said they should allow users to disable the keyboard shortcuts on the side, and presented additional arguments for why--including firefox's accessibility.typeaheadfind.autostart and accessibility.typeaheadfind and some other reasons why a browser should, er, act like it acts on every other website in existence)
[16:09:23] sphery: they didn't seem to like it
[16:09:51] kormoc: Sadness
[16:09:59] sphery: so I continually go to a code page in github, then start typing whatever I want to find like "context" and when I hit "c" it takes me to the linked commit
[16:10:10] sphery: or when I hit an "l" it pops up a "go to line number" dialog
[16:10:16] sphery: and ... I /hate/ their website
[16:10:20] kormoc: Chrome won't do type to find because of accessibility reasons
[16:10:23] kormoc: Understandable
[16:10:28] kormoc: I wouldn't like that as well
[16:11:32] sphery: it's as bad as Apple's telling the world that instead of having a single program available on all platforms that can be used to access any information/application/service on the World Wide Web, you have to have a separate "app" for each piece of information/application/service you want to access--oh, and of course, that Apple takes 30% off the top of all app purchases
[16:11:59] sphery: the world was so nice when browsers were browsers and people used them
[16:12:11] ** sphery might be a big jaded **
[16:12:14] sphery: bit
[16:12:27] kormoc: heh.... it's still that way, they're just single use browsers now
[16:12:31] ** sid3windr never used type to find, only /typetofind ... :) **

[16:19:27] sphery: and, yeah, it just worked for me, too
[16:19:28] kormoc: tho I guess the real one is `git branch -a`
[16:23:11] rooter7: If git describe says v0.24-253-g16775c5, is the build 253-g16775c5? or 16775?
[16:25:24] kormoc: v0.24-253-g16775c5
[16:27:19] rooter7: K. Once I've cloned, how to simply update?
[16:27:32] sphery: means you're using fixes/0.24 branch, 253 changes after the 0.24 tag, and you have revision 16775c5
[16:27:36] sphery: git pull
[16:27:51] sphery: (in other words, you have 253 fixes since the 0.24 tarball)
[16:28:00] rooter7: TY.
[16:30:33] rooter7: The correct command would be? git pull -b fixes/0.24 https://github.com/MythTV/myththemes.git
[16:31:21] sphery: no, just git pull
[16:31:34] sphery: from inside the mythtv (or mythweb) directory
[16:31:45] rooter7: Ah.
[16:32:20] sphery: it already knows which repo it's following, and git pull will pull all changes from all branches (but since you're only "viewing" fixes/0.24, you'll only directly see the changes in -fixes)
[16:33:18] wagnerrp: rooter7: the correct pull would be to not do so at all
[16:33:24] wagnerrp: you should not be pulling the themes repo
[16:33:36] wagnerrp: use the theme chooser in the frontend
[16:34:19] sphery: yes, definitely
[16:34:24] rooter7: Oh. It takes care of that now?
[16:34:31] sphery: only repos you need are mythtv, mythweb, and--if desired--nuvexport
[16:34:42] wagnerrp: sphery: why do you think we get so many Mac ads on the wiki?
[16:35:06] rooter7: No extras?
[16:35:20] wagnerrp: ive never seen any spam for windows software and websites
[16:35:25] sphery: rooter7: the theme chooser allows you to select from a much larger list of themes than the 3 in myththemes repo
[16:35:32] sphery: Utilities/Setup|Setup|Theme Chooser
[16:35:33] wagnerrp: just porn, essay writing services, and Mac websites
[16:35:49] sphery: you've seen porn ads on our wiki?
[16:35:54] sphery: oh, spam...
[16:35:55] sphery: got it
[16:36:07] kormoc: it's just wagner's targeted advertising
[16:36:11] sphery: heh
[16:36:27] sphery: I think kormoc is pushing the mac spam--to try to get users to use real systems instead of Atom systems :)
[16:36:41] sphery: it definitely wouldn't be me--since I love Atom
[16:36:56] wagnerrp: no, this most recent one was for software to transcode/stream to the appletv
[16:37:07] sphery: heh, which is worse than Atom
[16:37:07] kormoc: playon?
[16:37:20] sphery: I still want to know how PlayOn hasn't been sued out of existence
[16:37:40] sphery: as it's so obviously a direct violation of ToS of many of the services it's allows access to
[16:37:45] sphery: (including Hulu)
[16:38:03] wagnerrp: no, ifunia garbage
[16:38:04] sphery: I can't wait 'til the Hulu contracts expire this year and it either goes under or goes subscription
[16:38:21] kormoc: hulu plus?
[16:39:48] rooter7: Does the extras git have anything useful?

[16:40:27] sphery: kormoc: yeah, but I mean only subscription
[16:40:59] sphery: rooter7: only if you want to modify our git hooks or trac plugins
[16:41:22] rooter7: {hehe} That's not likely...
[16:41:30] sphery: actually, some people may use the logos--but be careful, since they're meant mainly for approved stuff (like themes or whatever)
[16:41:51] sphery: could use it for creating a personal T-shirt, but not for creating a T-shirt to sell, etc.
[16:43:30] rooter7: does the make in mythtv also compile plugins?
[16:43:57] wagnerrp: if you are 'make'ing in the plugin directory
[16:44:16] rooter7: Ah.
[16:44:35] sphery: meaning you'll need to cd into mythtv/mythtv to build (and you need to install) mythtv, then you can cd into mythtv/mythplugins to build mythplugins
[16:44:43] sphery: can't build mythplugins until you have installed mythtv
[16:45:07] rooter7: Gotcha. Thx.
[16:46:21] rooter7: I wish the themes would have more channels and times on the Program Guide screen. I have a 12' screen and always have to hand modify these files...

[17:03:43] rooter7: However my compile has failed. I have the R5000 for my HTPC, and the patch is borking the compile. Need to somehow get that working first.
[17:04:44] rooter7: The R5000 is such a great device. I've used it for years with Myth, and Alan's kept it going, but now he's disconnected Dish.
[17:05:41] sphery: rooter7: it's just getting started... which theme are you using that you regularly modify?
[17:05:57] wagnerrp: well... except the device is almost certainly in violation of the terms of service of whatever subscription you are using it with
[17:06:13] wagnerrp: which is why we refuse to support it in mythtv
[17:07:07] sphery: still better than some of the "I have an unusual setup. Think R5000." users
[17:07:35] rooter7: wagnerrp: if the r5000 is a violation, so is the hdpvr. The Windows DVR software (S????) has R5000 functionality. It was political here.
[17:08:10] wagnerrp: no, the HDPVR captures the analog output of your STB
[17:08:15] wagnerrp: the r5000 /is/ the STB
[17:08:59] wagnerrp: specifically, a hacked STB that taps into the digital output of the decrypter before being sent to the decoder
[17:09:01] sphery: modified, against the tos of dish network
[17:09:08] rooter7: sphery: I like the dark themes. Currently using Mythbuntu 1.
[17:09:24] sphery: rooter7: excellent... mythbuntu is one where the dev is looking for help...  :)
[17:09:43] sphery: pretty sure, at least... he hasn't updated the page, yet
[17:10:03] rooter7: wagnerrp: I'm not going to argue this all over again. The decision was made; I lost. The windows app developers have no such concerns.
[17:10:13] sphery: feel free to contact him... that theme is currently in myththemes, but I think he also added a repo at github

[17:11:06] sphery: https://github.com/gbutters/Mythbuntu ... I need to get in touch with him and see if he wants to switch to the external repo (where he can commit--and grant commit privs to team members) or if he wants to keep it in myththemes
[17:11:49] sphery: anyway... I'll try to get in touch with him and figure it out and update the theme teams page
[17:12:46] sphery: and if he is looking for help, any user of the theme who makes modifications to it that are likely usable by most users could help out by submitting patches/pull request/whatever or, if the theme author agrees, by getting commit access

[17:17:53] sphery: political meaning that they chose to support it after some argument?
[17:18:01] sphery: was it the same argument about dish tos?
[17:18:18] rooter7: Nah, one or two were exerting their influence and denied it.
[17:18:33] sphery: but they were overruled by a majority?
[17:18:33] rooter7: King of the hill Much more prevalent then, than now.
[17:19:09] rooter7: No majority. We are admittedly few. But had active, involved development.
[17:19:44] sphery: I was trying to find the DISH TOS, but I can't find it
[17:19:56] sphery: it specifically forbids modification of equipment used to access the signal
[17:20:32] rooter7: That is a charade. Save has no such concerns, and they are a commercial entity, paying no royalties to Dish..
[17:20:38] rooter7: Sage
[17:21:59] rooter7: We are open source. The fright was unbased, particularly since a cease and decist and opportunity to cure always far precedes any sort of action. And this has -never- been done to Sage.
[17:22:18] rooter7: It was political.
[17:22:48] rooter7: I've noticed that since the politics have subsided here, development has sped up.

[17:24:21] wagnerrp: section 4 subsection G: You agree that you will not try to reverse-engineer, decompile or disassemble, nor will you tamper with or modify, and software or hardware contained within any receiver or Smart Card.'
[17:24:32] rooter7: It doesn't matter.
[17:24:33] sphery: "You agree that you will not try to reverse-engineer, decompile or disassemble, nor will you tamper with or modify, any software or hardware contained within any receiver or Smart Card. Such actions are strictly prohibited and may result in the termination of this Agreement, disconnection of your Services and/or legal action."
[17:24:50] sphery: anyway, we won't support it because we don't want to be sued
[17:25:00] sphery: because we don't have a Class C corporation protecting our homes and income
[17:25:03] rooter7: Plese see above.
[17:25:28] wagnerrp: so sage decided to take the risk, we chose not to
[17:25:42] sphery: not to mention that we actually feel that users should abide by the terms and conditions of the contracts into which they enter with programming providers
[17:25:53] wagnerrp: according to the TOS, users are not allowed to modify receivers so as to use the r5000 mod
[17:26:22] wagnerrp: if they purchase their own hardware, they can do whatever they want to it, but are still not allowed to access dish network with it
[17:26:47] rooter7: Thanks for your input. I'll give it due consideration.
[17:26:53] sphery: no need to

[17:32:09] sphery: ooh, stuarta is back and committing!
[17:35:11] sphery: wagnerrp: on the github hook, is it possible to make the Trac comments include the branch (at least when it's not master)? On http://code.mythtv.org/trac/ticket/9761 , https://github.com/MythTV/mythtv/commit/16775 . . . 664007268ca/ is in -fixes, but not master, so...
[17:35:33] sphery: could be confusing to someone reading the ticket, since github doesn't actually tell us which branch it's in
[17:35:46] sphery: only reason I noticed is because of the commit mail messages
[17:36:21] wagnerrp: you mean instead of just saying 'changeset'?
[17:36:29] sphery: well, along with changeset
[17:36:41] sphery: since github doesn't seem to indicate branch on the linked changeset page
[17:36:52] wagnerrp: sure, the information is available
[17:37:30] sphery: nice
[17:37:31] wagnerrp: of course part of the problem is stuarta keeps using 'refs' rather than 'fixes' or 'closes'
[17:37:45] sphery: yeah, I'm guessing he didn't close/fix since it's not in master
[17:37:56] wagnerrp: doesnt matter
[17:38:28] sphery: though I'd argue instead of fixing the symptom, we should fix the problem (in master)... i.e. figure out why we're trying to kill a null-ed thread and make sure we don't even try in the first place and that we always shut down the thread properly
[17:38:46] sphery: or are you saying the change/patch/code doesn't apply in master
[17:38:53] sphery: (in which case the workaround is fine)
[17:39:06] wagnerrp: oh... youre saying it was fixed in -fixes, but the problem still exists in master
[17:39:27] sphery: yeah... fixing a symptom in -fixes is fine when the code is fixed properly in master
[17:39:42] sphery: I'm assuming it also exists in master, though I haven't actually tested/seen it
[17:39:52] wagnerrp: meaning the issue hasnt been properly fixed, which is why the ticket is still open
[17:39:56] sphery: granted, I haven't seen it on -fixes, either, and I run -fixes in production
[17:40:03] sphery: yeah, I think that's why it's open

[18:39:29] sphery: wagnerrp: btw, have you taken a look at Beirdo's mythtv-logging branch? I ripped out the DB logging API, which likely means that your Python MythLog interface is broken, now.
[18:39:54] sphery: er, new-logging branch
[18:40:34] sphery: the idea behind it was to use a single logging command, that can write info to any "sink" (DB, file, stdout/err, syslog, ...)
[18:40:59] sphery: If you need a new proto or service command to do python logging, please let me know and we can get one added
[18:41:38] ** sphery says this as he looks at a python script for the first time to try to figure out how to write a mythjobqueue idle checker script **
[18:51:09] wagnerrp: sphery: to be honest, my DB logging stuff is practically disabled anyway
[18:51:38] wagnerrp: its intentionally undocumented
[18:53:39] sphery: ah, if that's the case, I guess we can take care of it after new-logging is merged into master?
[18:53:56] wagnerrp: sphery: #9672 has an example of the new branch indicato
[18:54:02] sphery: for some strange reason, writing python scripts reminds me a lot of writing logo code

[19:29:36] skd5aner: are php bindings something that are post 0.24?
[19:31:24] wagnerrp: yes, 0.25 only
[19:33:00] skd5aner: it was decoupled from mythweb right?
[19:33:24] wagnerrp: yes

[19:39:55] sphery: I for one welcome our new database overload
[19:40:20] sphery: funny that the status update--including the failure message--occurred after the stabilization
[19:41:07] sphery: that's kind of like how my cable internet provider has a web page for me to check to see if there are problems with the network before contacting them when my Internet service is down
[19:41:21] sphery: (aka, not too helpful)
[19:43:43] dewman: I think thats a little pricey for a sleeping bag....I got a sharpie and some cardboard.... ;)
[19:44:18] sphery: heh, sleeping on cardboard would be less comfy than sleeping in a real tauntaun
[19:44:45] sphery: now if you just used the cardboard as decoration on a real sleeping bag, it wouldn't be so bad...
[19:45:30] dewman: but it wouldn't require a shower afterwards.. hehe

[19:52:07] wagnerrp: postscript bindings?
[19:52:16] wagnerrp: would that be to print out recordings frame by frame?
[19:52:38] sphery: heh, allows you to access mythtv data directly from inside your postscript document
[19:53:00] sphery: so you can create a document showing the 10 most recent recordings or the upcoming recording conflicts :)

[20:00:35] sphery: wagnerrp: so for the job_queue_idle.py, if I have a job whose hostname is the current hosts, which statuses should I consider idle/not idle? https://github.com/MythTV/mythtv/blob/master/ . . . atic.py#L133
[20:01:14] sphery: I'm thinking queued, pending, starting, running, stopping are not idle... not sure about paused or retry. the rest = idle?
[20:01:28] Scopeuk-AFK is now known as Scopeuk
[20:01:35] wagnerrp: its a bitmask
[20:01:50] wagnerrp: Job.status & Job.DONE
[20:02:07] sphery: right, but need to take into account the others
[20:02:20] sphery: unless you're saying that it will always include done even if it's got errored or something
[20:02:21] wagnerrp: DONE takes into account the others
[20:02:24] sphery: ahh, ok
[20:02:39] wagnerrp: '&' is a bitwise operator
[20:03:00] wagnerrp: if (Job.status & Job.DONE): print 'the job has completed'
[20:03:09] sphery: so if one is unknown, will it eventually get to done?
[20:03:23] wagnerrp: that.... im not sure
[20:03:57] sphery: well, I'll start with the simple, and it can be extended :)
[20:04:01] sphery: start with just done
[20:04:18] sphery: any good way to automatically get the current hostname in use by mythtv?
[20:04:33] sphery: i.e. LocalHostName override or hostname, as will be used by mythjobqueue?
[20:04:34] wagnerrp: part of MythDB i believe
[20:04:36] sphery: thx
[20:04:37] wagnerrp: getHostName or something
[20:04:54] wagnerrp: it reads it from the config.xml, and otherwise uses the system hostname
[20:06:10] sphery: so if a job is queued, I'm assuming no hostname means any host can do it, and a specific hostname says only that host?
[20:13:22] wagnerrp: a job can be queued with or without a hostname
[20:13:34] wagnerrp: if there is a hostname set, only that host will pick it up
[20:13:46] wagnerrp: when a job is picked up by a specific jobqueue, the hostname gets set
[20:14:06] sphery: cool
[20:14:45] sphery: so any not done jobs with hostname = DB.gethostname() or blank hostname means we're not idle-able
[20:16:27] wagnerrp: not entirely
[20:16:40] wagnerrp: you may want to check the settings table options whether a job can be run on that host

[21:03:31] sphery: wagnerrp: got a script that does any command-line arg parsing in python? (I can just fake it with a specific check, but figured if there's a "preferred" way for python, I should use it)
[21:03:38] sphery: only arg I have is a verbosity arg
[21:03:46] sphery: (totally faked right now)
[21:04:04] wagnerrp: look at the optparse module
[21:04:09] sphery: thx
[21:04:19] wagnerrp: and the MythLog module accepts the mythtv version string
