[01:07:00] iamlindoro: Pretty sure the built in screenshot functionality pertains only to the FE
[01:07:56] lwizardl: hmm
[01:08:19] lwizardl: I am trying to take screenshots of my config screens to see if i have an error or not
[01:10:06] wagnerrp: you dont know if your frontend is not running?
[01:10:48] lwizardl: no having problems getting a working system
[01:11:13] wagnerrp: explain the problem
[01:14:29] lwizardl: screen was displaying out of view for the top bar in xfce mythbuntu. and trying to figure out which setting are the correct ones for the HVR-1600
[01:14:51] lwizardl: redoing the install now using the HD480p setting to see how that looks
[01:15:10] wagnerrp: HD480p setting?
[01:15:24] wagnerrp: the HVR-1600 has no such option
[01:15:34] lwizardl: yeah the display for the nvidia card display
[01:15:46] wagnerrp: what kind of tv do you have?
[01:15:49] tgm4883: why do you need to redo the install for that?
[01:15:51] lwizardl: i was talking about the analog v4l, mjpeg, etc
[01:16:10] tgm4883: 1) fire up nvidia settings, 2) fix it, 3) ???, 4) profit
[01:16:10] wagnerrp: the HVR-1600 is not an analog v4l or mjpeg card
[01:16:19] lwizardl: Plasma EDTV slyvania 42"

[01:17:01] lwizardl: wagnerrp, that was the reason why I was trying to do screenshots to show what my system was displaying for options
[01:17:27] wagnerrp: you want the IVTV type
[01:17:50] lwizardl: ivtv mpeg-2 said fail
[01:18:18] wagnerrp: fail?
[01:18:46] lwizardl: yeah i am not at that screen anymore so i will have to say it when i get back
[01:18:57] lwizardl: to that section
[01:23:51] iamlindoro: I am so changing all error messages to FAIL
[01:24:18] lwizardl: lol
[01:24:31] lwizardl: it was at the probed info iirc
[01:25:09] iamlindoro: You're not still using some ancient shipped-with-ubuntu version of .24, are you?
[01:25:36] lwizardl: what ever that was with the 11.04 amd64 version of mythbuntu
[01:25:41] lwizardl: so yeah i would guess so
[01:25:57] iamlindoro: Didn't we have this chat last time you were in?
[01:27:15] lwizardl: i think so
[01:27:34] lwizardl: but now I have a better tuner card then I did have
[01:28:47] lwizardl: my fresh reinstall is getting close to restarting
[01:28:56] lwizardl: its at about 85% install status
[01:30:57] iamlindoro: But the chat we had last time included the information "You can't install v4l or MPEG-2 devices properly on the version shipped with 11.04, get to current .24-fixes"

[02:09:19] skd5aner: it cracks me up when core devs still run old versions of mythtv for their prod systems...
[02:09:24] skd5aner: like 0.23
[02:10:08] skd5aner: I would think, why put all the time and effort into developing new stuff if you yourself don't plan on upgrading for an extended period of time after new releases are made
[02:10:16] wagnerrp: well they have no choice when their distro still runs kernel 2.6.18
[02:10:25] skd5aner: sure they do...
[02:10:44] skd5aner: upgrade or change distros, or compile a new kernel
[02:10:53] wagnerrp: :)
[02:11:45] skd5aner: I know I give sphery a tough time sometimes – he tends to wait until a season is over to upgrade...
[02:12:35] skd5aner: which, I sort of understand, since last fall my mobo died the first major week of the fall season premiers and was donw for 3+ weeks
[02:12:46] skd5aner: but still... ye of little faith :)
[02:13:44] lwizardl: ok system rebooted and sitting at the main desktop and yet still not displaying properly on my tv

[02:23:25] iamlindoro: skd5aner: sphery knows the current release 10x better than nearly everyone who actually runs it.
[02:25:14] skd5aner: yup, so what's the say about his hesitance to do timely upgrades? :)
[02:25:41] wagnerrp: thats because sphery is a freak of modern neuroscience
[02:25:42] iamlindoro: That he really enjoys MythTV and would rather properly plan his upgrades, as he (and I) feel everyone should
[02:25:54] wagnerrp: a human brain blended with a complete mailing list archive and commit log
[02:26:52] skd5aner: yea – his ability to pull up any given mailing list archive link is astonishing
[02:27:05] iamlindoro: That's because he's in most threads

[02:49:09] branden__: Does anyone know how well the card is supported under linux? Hauppauge 44801 WinTV-GO
[02:50:00] wagnerrp: abort! retreat! douse in lighter fluid and burn!
[02:50:26] branden__: What is a good card then?
[02:50:51] wagnerrp: anything thats not a framegrabber
[02:50:58] branden__: ???
[02:51:15] wagnerrp: the wintv go is a framegrabber
[02:51:25] wagnerrp: meaning it captures frames, and stores them in a location in shared memory
[02:51:39] wagnerrp: mythtv then has to grab those frames in real time, and compress them
[02:51:51] branden__: I have a wintv card I got for free wintv-hvr-1800
[02:52:02] wagnerrp: that will work for digital
[02:52:12] branden__: That is all I can get here.
[02:52:15] wagnerrp: however there are driver issues that prevent its use for analog in mythtv
[02:52:37] branden__: The government here killed the analog format.
[02:52:42] wagnerrp: if you only get digital, then what is the purpose of the wintv-go?
[02:52:52] branden__: I didn't know
[02:52:54] iamlindoro: branden__: Erm, aren't you in the US?
[02:52:59] branden__: yeah
[02:53:02] iamlindoro: Analog is still alive and well
[02:53:14] wagnerrp: there are low power and nighttime broadcasts in analog
[02:53:15] branden__: In some states they completely got rid of analog.
[02:53:19] wagnerrp: plus some cable providers have analog
[02:53:20] zombor (zombor!~zombor_@kohana/developer/zombor) has joined #mythtv-users
[02:53:21] iamlindoro: not to mention most cable systems
[02:53:27] wagnerrp: and you can do analog capture off cable boxes
[02:53:30] iamlindoro: branden__: no, they didn't.
[02:53:37] iamlindoro: In *no* state, in fact, is analog dead.
[02:53:46] wagnerrp: you are still allowed to operate analog under 10kW
[02:53:55] iamlindoro: And on any cable system you like
[02:54:10] branden__: I am talking over the air
[02:54:23] iamlindoro: Which is, as wagnerrp mentioned, still not 100% digital, in your state, or any other
[02:54:24] wagnerrp: yes, you can still broadcast in analog at under 10kW EIRP
[02:54:41] pizzledizzle (pizzledizzle!~pizdets@pool-98-113-194-183.nycmny.fios.verizon.net) has quit (Ping timeout: 240 seconds)
[02:54:47] branden__: 10kW does not go for.
[02:54:54] branden__: far*
[02:54:54] wagnerrp: in any case...
[02:55:01] wagnerrp: the 1800 will work for digital
[02:55:08] wagnerrp: the -go does not do digital at all
[02:55:17] branden__: good because that is all I can get here.
[02:55:36] branden__: zip code 83406
[02:55:43] branden__: if that helps
[02:56:24] branden__: When I looked it up I could only find digital channels in my zip code
[02:56:51] iamlindoro: where did you look it up?
[02:57:56] branden__: I forgot the site but let me see if I can find it in my web browser history.
[02:58:05] iamlindoro: never mind
[02:58:20] iamlindoro: anyway, the HVR-1800 will be fine for antenna reception/ATSC
[02:58:25] iamlindoro: the go will not
[02:58:41] branden__: oh
[02:58:49] iamlindoro: If you hope to capture cable, things become murkier
[02:58:53] branden__: Are there any good cheap cards out there?
[02:59:10] wagnerrp: i see three analog broadcast stations within 10 miles of that zip code
[02:59:10] iamlindoro: Why do you need a card? You just said you have an HVR-1800, and want to capture antenna signals
[02:59:13] branden__: Don't have cable
[02:59:16] wagnerrp: 12, 26, and 39
[02:59:20] iamlindoro: "<iamlindoro> anyway, the HVR-1800 will be fine for antenna reception/ATSC"
[02:59:25] iamlindoro: You said you have one... case closed
[02:59:36] wagnerrp: perhaps he wants a second?
[03:00:05] branden__: I was wondering about one that could encode mpeg4
[03:00:15] branden__: to mpeg4*
[03:00:18] wagnerrp: digital tuners dont encode anything
[03:01:03] branden__: There is a chip on mine labeled mpeg I/II encoder
[03:01:09] wagnerrp: correct, for the analog input
[03:01:16] branden__: oh
[03:01:27] branden__: So for digital I am going to have to encode it.
[03:01:33] wagnerrp: the recording you get from an ATSC tuner is already MPEG2
[03:01:38] branden__: oh ok
[03:02:08] wagnerrp: it is broadcast as MPEG2 and AC3
[03:02:14] wagnerrp: in an MPEG2TS stream
[03:03:20] branden__: I was building this package for slackware, and it is taking while
[03:03:28] branden__: was*
[03:03:41] wagnerrp: the mythtv package?
[03:03:47] branden__: For slackware
[03:03:49] wagnerrp: what CPU?
[03:04:10] iamlindoro: wagnerrp: heh: http://pastebin.com/jqnfjxz6
[03:04:15] branden__: intel p4 ht 3.06Ghz 800Mhz fsb
[03:04:56] wagnerrp: i would guess ~45 minutes to compile mythtv on that system
[03:05:37] branden__: What about on a p4 1.8Ghz 400Mhz fsb
[03:05:48] branden__: That is the next one I am building on
[03:05:56] wagnerrp: 45/3060*1800
[03:05:59] GrahamIRC (GrahamIRC!~GrahamIRC@93-97-162-128.zone5.bethere.co.uk) has quit (Quit: Leaving.)
[03:06:08] branden__: ?
[03:06:11] iamlindoro: And these speeds are moving in the wrong direction
[03:06:12] wagnerrp: ?
[03:06:29] wagnerrp: youre going to struggle with broadcast ATSC on a 1.8GHz P4
[03:06:31] iamlindoro: A 3 Ghz P4 is the *minimum* you want to received US digital broadcasts on, not the max
[03:07:13] branden__: The 3Ghz p4 is what I am using for the capture box because it accepts the pci port it needs.
[03:07:43] iamlindoro: As mentioned, the 1.8 will not keep up with what you aim to capture
[03:07:46] wagnerrp: well youre not going to be using the 1.8 for playback
[03:07:47] wagnerrp: its too slow
[03:07:56] wagnerrp: iamlindoro: whats with the times on that?
[03:08:17] iamlindoro: wagnerrp: generated from the rule vs/ the rec
[03:08:24] iamlindoro: I put it in the wrong for loop
[03:08:28] iamlindoro: but same idea
[03:08:37] branden__: I was playing h.264 on the 1.8 and it only used 20% of the cpu, the picture was nice.
[03:08:45] iamlindoro: (I dumped the function into mythmetadatalookup to test it)
[03:08:55] wagnerrp: maybe h.264 at < 1Mbps
[03:09:00] iamlindoro: "h.264" without qualifiers is meaningless
[03:09:02] branden__: gpu is
[03:09:16] wagnerrp: the GPU wont help you with h264 on that system
[03:09:20] branden__: nvidia geforce 7600Gs
[03:09:36] wagnerrp: that GPU does not do hardware accelerated decoding
[03:09:36] iamlindoro: useless
[03:10:03] branden__: Let me go get the specs ont he video.
[03:10:19] iamlindoro: The specs on whatever you played are irrelevant
[03:10:28] iamlindoro: What is relevant is what you *aim* to play won't play there
[03:11:03] branden__: profile 3
[03:11:16] branden__: 3000 kb/s
[03:11:20] branden__: on preset medium
[03:11:23] wagnerrp: there is no profile 3
[03:11:28] branden__: x264
[03:11:34] iamlindoro: nor is there a "preset medium"
[03:11:45] branden__: x264 --fullhelp
[03:11:57] wagnerrp: in h264, you have main, baseline, extended, and high profile
[03:12:00] wagnerrp: no '3'
[03:12:17] branden__: Sorry level 3
[03:12:22] iamlindoro: This tangent is still useless
[03:12:36] branden__: Let me give you the output on ffprobe
[03:12:42] iamlindoro: Since it has no bearing on the fact that ~20 Mbit ATSC wont play on that machine
[03:12:45] wagnerrp: ATSC does not use the h264 codec
[03:13:12] branden__: Not atsc
[03:13:13] wagnerrp: and that CPU will only manage around 10–12Mbps MPEG2
[03:13:24] wagnerrp: ATSC is what you want to record and play back on that machine
[03:13:27] wagnerrp: from the digital tuner card
[03:13:36] branden__: It was a backup
[03:13:49] branden__: I made.
[03:14:42] branden__: Where can I get some high definition sample videos to test?
[03:15:01] iamlindoro: By plugging in the capture card and capturing something with it

[03:15:13] iamlindoro: Nothing else will properly approximate *your* environment and encoding
[03:15:18] branden__: I thought you new I was off of that already
[03:15:32] iamlindoro: off of what?
[03:15:42] branden__: I was talking about video playback
[03:15:58] wagnerrp: yes, and were telling you your system isnt sufficiently powerful
[03:15:59] iamlindoro: Are you planning to use MythTV and capture video or not?
[03:16:12] iamlindoro: And if so, are you planning to play back that video on the 1.8 Ghz P4?
[03:16:20] iamlindoro: because if so, let's all say it together now: NO.
[03:16:43] branden__: I was doing playback on the p4
[03:16:52] branden__: 1.8
[03:16:56] iamlindoro: playback of unlike content, which is a meaningless gauge
[03:17:09] iamlindoro: you are playing back content with hilariously low bitrate
[03:17:14] branden__: I think I will clock it up to 2.4 Ghz
[03:17:23] wagnerrp: you cant just 'clock it up'
[03:17:34] iamlindoro: The content coming from the digital tuner will be > 6x the bitrate, and will likely need deinterlacing, which can add substantial further overhead
[03:17:34] branden__: In the bios I can
[03:17:57] wagnerrp: that assumes the system will actually be stable with a 35% overclock
[03:18:00] branden__: ok 3.06 Ghz machine it is

[03:18:59] branden__: I have gotten a 3.2 Ghz machine to 4.0Ghz after that it crashes
[03:19:33] wagnerrp: but whats the point? $150 will get you a brand new system that is several times faster
[03:19:55] branden__: Really where?
[03:20:08] wagnerrp: you already have a case and power supply
[03:20:17] branden__: yeah
[03:20:17] wagnerrp: if its a later model P4, you might even have DDR2 to use
[03:20:24] branden__: I do
[03:20:32] wagnerrp: an AMD board and CPU will be around $60 each
[03:20:42] branden__: continue
[03:20:52] wagnerrp: $60 for an AMD CPU will get you a 3GHz dual core Athlon II
[03:21:06] wagnerrp: in which each core would be roughly equivalent to that P4 running at 5–6GHz
[03:22:19] branden__: Even at the same bus speed?

[03:23:45] branden__: speed = spend
[03:24:14] branden__: For the 3.2Ghz one I only spent 25 dollars

[03:25:20] iamlindoro: If you spent $25 on a P4, someone owes you some money
[03:25:34] branden__: It was a few years ago
[03:25:49] branden__: For the 3.0Ghz one

[03:26:43] wagnerrp: although, did you terminate the recording early?
[03:26:57] branden__: Thanks iamlindoro
[03:27:14] iamlindoro: wagnerrp: yes
[03:27:48] wagnerrp: will the metadata class re-import those values?
[03:27:49] iamlindoro: wagnerrp: Anyhoo, now the trick is to figure out when best to write them-- at user's behest? Whenever recording?
[03:27:52] iamlindoro: yep
[03:28:02] wagnerrp: when i tried to do it last time, i was restricted to only a handful of values
[03:28:13] iamlindoro: tried to do what?
[03:28:15] wagnerrp: since there wasnt much that matched up with the items listed on the wiki

[03:28:43] iamlindoro: Well, I expanded the classes a month or so ago to add all relevant pginfo values
[03:29:12] iamlindoro: for import, anyway, so this work is just "write a converter from PgInfo to MetadataLookup" and "write the XML"
[03:29:15] wagnerrp: https://github.com/MythTV/mythtv/blob/master/ . . . heap.py#L319
[03:29:30] wagnerrp: basically what that was
[03:29:38] wagnerrp: but constrained to only have a dozen values
[03:29:47] wagnerrp: i never got around to hooking in the cast list
[03:31:24] iamlindoro: I am pretty lazy right now in that regard too... I haev all the single-line stuff hooked in, but too tired to add certification/people/etc.
[03:32:00] iamlindoro: Who the hell made this thing support so many values
[03:32:13] wagnerrp: seriously
[03:32:14] wagnerrp: :)
[03:32:47] wagnerrp: wait... i did add cast
[03:32:51] wagnerrp: ... when did i do that
[03:33:23] wagnerrp: well it was several months ago, and i havent touched it since
[03:35:39] iamlindoro: So seriously, branden is like 16, right?

[03:46:40] iamlindoro: intuition!
[03:53:53] wagnerrp: are all these new fields just single values? or did you add any maps/lists?

[05:46:09] wagnerrp: dekarl_afk: actually, its a bit different from what the /. summary purported (what a surprise)
[05:46:42] wagnerrp: his claim was that BSD (net/open/free) had no relevance on the desktop

[06:03:25] wagnerrp: is it only for USB devices, or does it support anything?
[06:04:32] dekarl_afk: USB seems to be working well (judging from the reports) but PCI is "in the works" and some have native drivers. Was about to try it but instead opted to move
[06:04:56] wagnerrp: heh
[06:05:18] wagnerrp: i was actually considering picking up an hvr-2250 some time later this year, and trying to port the driver

[06:06:37] wagnerrp: no... no no no...
[06:06:52] dekarl_afk: :D
[06:06:55] wagnerrp: we have enough trouble getting the users to not run their master backends on underpowered machines
[06:07:00] wagnerrp: we cant have other project devs doing so
[06:07:26] wagnerrp: there are pvr250 and pvrxxx ports
[06:07:30] wagnerrp: but theyre screwy and broken
[06:07:48] wagnerrp: mythtv is expecting certain ioctls that arent working
[06:08:08] dekarl_afk: I'm not thinking Pogothiny... it may be a little bit more beefy... But all I could find is on the 128mb memory range... not enough for ZFS or anything.
[06:08:23] dekarl_afk: hm, which ioctls are different?
[06:08:26] wagnerrp: so either i put effort towards fixing old busted drivers, for outdated hardware
[06:08:37] wagnerrp: or i could try to port over a new, still in production card
[06:08:52] wagnerrp: i dont recall, been months since i moved my -150s back over to my gentoo box
[06:10:00] dekarl_afk: Maybe I should just find a supported 20 buck usb dvbt dongle and just try it out. But it's the research thats taking so long :(
[06:10:53] wagnerrp: 128MB will actually do decently on a stripped down freebsd build
[06:11:12] dekarl_afk: all the nice toys are always a) cheap, b) working, c) available over here <- choose 2
[06:11:19] wagnerrp: ive got a little 256MB geode box as a firewall
[06:11:32] wagnerrp: after pf, dhcp, bind, and a couple other tools, im at around 40MB consumption
[06:11:55] wagnerrp: the rest gets slowly eaten up by BIND over the course of around two months
[06:12:13] dekarl_afk: true, I'm behind a PFsense on a WRAP (256MB, sc1100 box?) for what feels like 10 years now
[06:12:58] wagnerrp: but i wouldnt imagine even trying to run a backend on it
[06:13:06] dekarl_afk: ugh, I dumped BIND when I was still being paid for maintaining DNS.
[06:13:22] wagnerrp: even if it had more power, 256MB just isnt even enough for a proper file server
[06:13:27] wagnerrp: my RAID card has that much
[06:13:40] wagnerrp: ZFS throws a hissy fit if you give it less than 2GB
[06:13:52] wagnerrp: and they tell you you should be shooting for 2GB per TB of storage
[06:14:15] dekarl_afk: I follow the -arm/-mips talk. some of these socs sound really nice. 2–4 cores with 1.xGHz and 4GB memory some SATA Ports... just for collecting DVB signals and stuffing them on a platter, should be plenty
[06:14:42] wagnerrp: the scheduler is single threaded
[06:14:54] wagnerrp: meaning that 1.xGHz ARM isnt going to get you very far
[06:15:11] wagnerrp: a couple of tuners, and a couple weeks of data on 50+ channels
[06:15:16] wagnerrp: youre looking for some hurt
[06:15:50] dekarl_afk: the scheduler needs some love anyway... I hate it that I can't run mfbd --refresh-today while recordings are running
[06:16:14] wagnerrp: it has gotten a lot of love
[06:16:28] wagnerrp: kormoc: roughly halved the runtime at some point in the last year
[06:16:54] wagnerrp: finding matching shows is easy
[06:16:55] dekarl_afk: I use the frontend to schedule recordings for testing my xmltv guide after changes... of course on the production backend :D
[06:17:20] wagnerrp: its picking out non-duplicates, and balancing them across the tuners, that takes all the time
[06:18:10] wagnerrp: the consequence of having so many options available for recording rules

[06:21:32] dekarl_afk: someone got to write some guides on how to setup channels correctly when you get an HD and an SD copy or 5 regional variants of the same channel... it's not so obvious in DVB land with all the guides being in ATSC speak.
[06:21:32] dekarl_afk: And it is hard to find duplicates when the daily soaps run on one main channel with repeats on the main channel and 5 regional channels, all with different styles of putting the episode number/synopsis in the data. I'm trying to make this part easy by doing it centrally in the guide
[06:22:03] dekarl_afk: bbl
[06:22:19] wagnerrp: you can change the matching strategy per rule
[06:22:35] wagnerrp: but that assumes you can find something reliably matching
[06:22:50] wagnerrp: and if youre using two different grabbers, thats not likely

Now I only need a "magic record button" that will pick "find one" for movies and "record all" for series, then I'm set. (but that's not going to work with EIT because there is no movie/series

[07:35:52] Beirdo: gonna move the FreeBSD box, devel box and the GPU devel box into the office

[07:36:02] wagnerrp: yeah
[07:36:31] Beirdo: one sec
[07:36:41] wagnerrp: iogear or aten by chance?

[07:36:48] Beirdo: nope
[07:36:59] Beirdo: but likely the same manufacturer in Taiwan/China
[07:37:37] Beirdo: will hook up the ripper box as the 4th
[07:37:38] wagnerrp: well iogear stuff is rebranded aten gear
[07:38:08] wagnerrp: ive got a 4-port VGA/USB/switch switch, and a 4-port DVI/USB/audio switch
[07:38:15] wagnerrp: they both suffer the same problem with nvidia gear
[07:38:25] Beirdo: which is?
[07:38:35] wagnerrp: you cannot connect it directly to an nvidia USB controller
[07:38:38] wagnerrp: its... screwy
[07:38:48] Beirdo: that's funky
[07:38:50] wagnerrp: bursty and laggy on the order of several seconds
[07:38:59] wagnerrp: and if one is connected, it hoses the whole system
[07:39:03] wagnerrp: even if youre not actively using it
[07:39:09] Beirdo: I don't think I have any nvidia USB though, but wow
[07:39:12] wagnerrp: i had to pick up some in-line USB hubs
[07:39:23] wagnerrp: none with nvidia chipsets?
[07:39:24] Beirdo: that's lame
[07:39:29] Beirdo: all Intel
[07:39:44] wagnerrp: had no problems with intel
[07:39:50] Beirdo: every single box I have is Intel at this point
[07:40:07] Beirdo: even the freebee Dells from work :)
[07:40:27] wagnerrp: except for that ppc laptop
[07:40:47] Beirdo: well, yeah :) and the Windows netbook.
[07:40:54] Beirdo: well, I guess it's intel too.
[07:41:00] Beirdo: Atom + GMA500
[07:41:07] Beirdo: aka PUKE

[07:45:27] Beirdo: hmmm
[07:45:37] Beirdo: 3TB external WD for $119
[07:45:51] Beirdo: almost worth buying one to crack it open and toss the case
[07:46:31] derekj: yeahm but is that one drive or 2 inside?
[07:46:56] Beirdo: that'd be the question, wouldn't it?
[07:47:05] Beirdo: looks like one
[07:47:21] wagnerrp: Beirdo: youd rather have a wd green than a hitachi
[07:47:35] Beirdo: Product Dimensions: 7 x 4.6 x 1.4 inches ; 2.2 pounds
[07:47:38] derekj: $even at $120 a 3 tb issnt much of a deal compare to 2TB at $60
[07:47:46] Beirdo: why would I rather have a green?
[07:47:57] derekj: green sucks
[07:48:05] wagnerrp: because a 3TB at $119 will be one of the green drives
[07:48:11] wagnerrp: while the internal hitachi was only $107
[07:48:16] Beirdo: true
[07:48:40] derekj: hitachi 3TB for $107? where is that?
[07:48:42] Beirdo: and I'd get a decent case I could reuse.
[07:50:28] derekj: is that a coolspin or a deskstar?
[07:52:06] Beirdo: yes
[07:52:07] wagnerrp: amazon, coolspin
[07:52:22] Beirdo: Coolspin are still Deskstar
[07:52:34] derekj: no, there's a big diff
[07:52:52] derekj: coolspin are 5x00 rpm drives
[07:53:03] Beirdo: sigh
[07:53:12] Beirdo: they are "Deskstar Coolspin"
[07:53:13] derekj: deskstars are 7x00 rpm
[07:53:34] Beirdo: according to the listing.
[07:53:58] Beirdo: The Deskstar 5K3000 hard drive provides an enormous capacity up to 3TB and features innovative CoolSpin technology
[07:54:04] Beirdo: it's both.
[07:54:06] Beirdo: :)
[07:54:25] Beirdo: that's like asking if a WD drive is Caviar or Green
[07:55:44] derekj: so is coolspin green? :)
[07:56:08] derekj: cause the WD green ones suck big time
[07:56:28] Beirdo: coolspin seems to be the Hitachi version of Green
[07:57:03] wagnerrp: the reason the greens suck is because of their aggressive spindown

[07:57:33] derekj: hopefully hitachi coolspins aren't as aggressive as WD Green when it comes to sleep
[07:58:45] derekj: why want's to buy a mystery drive that desn't even state which rpm they spin at?
[07:59:11] Beirdo: what, the greens?
[07:59:16] Beirdo: 5900 or so
[07:59:18] derekj: up
[07:59:26] derekj: mystery meat
[07:59:49] Beirdo: likewise the coolspin... "variable"
[07:59:55] Beirdo: just measure with bonnie++

[08:02:35] wagnerrp: back up? no... redundancy
[08:02:41] Beirdo: I don't give a crap about trying to recover data, not going to pay some company thousands of dollars to recover

[08:03:15] Beirdo: if you don't pay, there is no recovery to be had
[08:03:47] derekj: that depends on how much fu you possess
[08:03:55] Beirdo: oh please.
[08:04:11] wagnerrp: if you possessed that much fu, you wouldnt care to recover a failing drive
[08:04:14] derekj: no please anything
[08:04:20] Beirdo: I have no data that merits me futzing with the drive to pull it off there
[08:04:27] derekj: sometimes it's just a blown diode
[08:04:29] Beirdo: that's what redundancy is for
[08:04:34] wagnerrp: you would have swapped out the drive and rebuilt the array
[08:04:35] Beirdo: and also backups
[08:05:03] Beirdo: exactly, rebuild the array, RMA the drive (or chuck it if not in warranty)
[08:05:05] wagnerrp: theres no sense spending hours of your own time trying to recover a disk
[08:05:06] Beirdo: not that hard
[08:05:22] wagnerrp: when its 5 minutes to swap a new drive into your array
[08:05:33] Beirdo: the only disks I have that aren't redundant are my mythtv data disks
[08:05:50] Beirdo: the redundancy there is known as rebroadcasting
[08:06:03] Beirdo: i.e. I'll record it again later
[08:06:06] derekj: won't argue with you there
[08:06:19] derekj: or get the dvd later
[08:06:27] Beirdo: oh, and my laptop system drives ain't redundant either
[08:06:29] derekj: whatever works
[08:06:29] Beirdo: pfft
[08:06:41] wagnerrp: mine are... :)
[08:07:02] Beirdo: I don't have space for a second drive in any of my 3 laptops
[08:07:31] wagnerrp: ive got a secondary bay that normally has a battery in it
[08:07:33] Beirdo: the trick there is to keep valuable data backed up
[08:07:47] Beirdo: ah, nice
[08:07:51] derekj: just put it on the net
[08:07:52] wagnerrp: but every so often, i boot into a iscsi image from my server
[08:07:57] Beirdo: net?!
[08:07:58] wagnerrp: and clone the boot drive over to the spare
[08:08:10] derekj: yup, linus' way
[08:08:17] Beirdo: if you mean public cloud... I'll have to mock you to death
[08:08:26] derekj: shit's never going to go awy
[08:08:35] derekj: away*
[08:08:39] wagnerrp: linus' way is to purchase rackspace in a coloc, and place a server there to back up to
[08:08:42] wagnerrp: and watch your language
[08:08:46] Beirdo: I will not now nor ever going to put things like tax data on the public cloud
[08:09:00] Beirdo: external private server, sure
[08:09:28] wagnerrp: if youre talking about storing things in your gmail account
[08:09:36] derekj: if it's encrypted well enough, why should anyone care?
[08:09:38] wagnerrp: they explicitly say they make no guarantees about data safety
[08:09:45] Beirdo: derekj: it isn't
[08:09:55] wagnerrp: what do you consider well enough?
[08:10:00] derekj: I know people who encrypt their stuff to usenet
[08:10:08] wagnerrp: thats retarded
[08:10:11] derekj: get it later
[08:10:19] Beirdo: and why would I want to entrust my private data to someone else EVER?
[08:10:54] Beirdo: stuff like source code is all publicly available on places like github
[08:11:03] Beirdo: but I do have data that's not for your eyes
[08:11:13] Beirdo: or google's or amazon's, etc
[08:11:16] wagnerrp: if you have something worth storing online
[08:11:23] wagnerrp: you have something worth paying someone to store online
[08:11:28] Beirdo: regardless of how much encryption they say is there
[08:11:34] derekj: bah, you don't make enough for me to be intersted in your tax returns

[08:14:33] Beirdo: that's his prerogative
[08:14:35] derekj: my point exactly
[08:14:37] wagnerrp: the point is, there is no reason for that information to be publicly accessible, so why would you want it to be publicly accessible
[08:14:52] Beirdo: I don't choose to do so
[08:14:53] derekj: nobody is going to care about your tax returns besides IRS

[08:15:12] Beirdo: many people care.

[08:16:34] derekj: exactly

[09:09:41] dekarl: LogBot: I found a document that talks about the relation of the various dvb identifiers to eachother, put it in the archives in case someone looks for the relation of network_id and original_network_id to service_id http://www.eutelsat.com/satellites/pdf/Diseqc . . . SAT_syst.pdf
[09:11:45] Beirdo: ?
[09:12:40] dekarl: I found it really hard to figure out how the four ids fit together... and with most open source mixing up network_id and original_network_id one will usually get the wrong answer from aunt google :(
[09:13:15] dekarl: and with lots of mythtv devs being noneuropean I can only guess at it being twice as hard (because you care for atsc first, then dvb)
[09:13:49] dekarl: fwiw, according to the schema we could do better, too :(
[09:15:14] Beirdo: patches speak volumes :)
[09:15:32] dekarl: no patches until clue...
[09:17:25] Beirdo: OK, ordering 3TB drives
[09:17:38] Beirdo: wagnerrp: I'll let ya know how it goes with those drives :)
[09:17:49] Beirdo: getting the Hitachis
[09:20:33] dekarl: Beirdo: I'm trying to wrap my head around matching xmltv channels to transmission channels while avoiding lineups. It seems to be easily possible to get perfect matches with original_network_id + service_id alone. But as everyone else is just writing lineups for every postcode it's not documented anywhere how to do it. (big companies like MS can afford that, so their MXF format goes the manpower route. But I prefer the DTRT rou
[09:21:19] dekarl: dreaming of automatic grabber setup in the mythtv web setup, and that needs a mapping somewhere

[09:35:51] Beirdo: got one of those on order for the old drives... which will be added to the freebsd fileserver
[09:37:25] derekj: I can't speak for that jbod case but my friend recently got a ams computer case
[09:37:44] derekj: he was pleasnatly surprised by the quality construction
[09:38:13] Beirdo: only needed 4 bays, but 5 bays will do
[09:38:39] derekj: they didn't cheap out on the steel and finish like other case manufacturers
[09:39:37] Beirdo: I think that box still has the PCIE slot free
[09:39:42] Beirdo: (free Dell from work)
[09:41:22] derekj: are recent dell cases more atx than the one from p4 era?
[09:41:52] derekj: the same friend who bought the ams case gave up on repurposing a dell case
[09:41:57] Beirdo: dunno
[09:42:08] Beirdo: this one is a cast-off from the P4 era
[09:42:20] Beirdo: the newer ones they were getting rid of were btx
[09:42:29] derekj: cause aside from the front panel connector, the mobo mount was not atx
[09:43:02] derekj: there was no easy way to convert it to atx
[09:43:10] derekj: his was a precision 360
[09:43:29] Beirdo: mine's 370
[09:43:36] Beirdo: so about the same
[09:43:37] derekj: oh oh
[09:43:45] Beirdo: I like the design of those boxes
[09:43:55] derekj: if you use the same mobo it'd be ok
[09:44:15] derekj: but cant go to standand atx mobo on that easily
[09:44:27] Beirdo: also have an optiplex 745 and 755, both of which are BTX cases
[09:44:47] derekj: for $15 he just took the easier way out
[09:44:54] Beirdo: and an older P4 one which is smaller, forget the model
[09:45:02] derekj: less headache
[09:45:14] Beirdo: the 745 has my 550Ti in it for GPU work
[09:45:14] derekj: smaller as n matx?
[09:45:22] derekj: in*
[09:45:25] Beirdo: mini tower
[09:45:37] Beirdo: one sec
[09:46:07] Beirdo: Optiplex 170L
[09:46:17] derekj: no experience w/ that one
[09:46:36] Beirdo: dmidecode to the rescue :)
[09:46:47] derekj: pfft
[09:47:11] Beirdo: saves walking across the room and reading the outside of the box
[09:47:38] derekj: dmidecode doesn't inventory screw positions
[09:48:26] derekj: now that'd be a trick
[09:49:22] derekj: at least dell stop using non-atx power supplies
[09:49:54] derekj: drove everyone batty with that craziness
[09:52:37] Beirdo: hehe
[09:53:01] Beirdo: yeah, my 745 got an upgrade on that account... needed the PCIE power connector

[17:06:32] tlhiv_laptop: i just install
[17:07:06] wagnerrp: i dont install
[17:07:20] wagnerrp: ive got a single shared image i use for any x86_64 machine
[17:07:38] wagnerrp: new machine, make an overlay with a couple config files, and boot
[17:07:48] wagnerrp: takes all of a few minutes
[17:08:34] tlhiv_laptop: where's the fun in that? :-)
[17:09:22] wagnerrp: i can spawn any number of frontends with almost no effort
[17:12:02] tlhiv_laptop: so i hate to keep beating this to death, but can you think of a way to start playing a video file and have it continue playing the remaining files in that directory in succession
[17:12:05] tlhiv_laptop: perhaps with a script
[17:12:23] tlhiv_laptop: but using the Myth gui to do it
[17:12:59] wagnerrp: the only such behavior is the 'play folder'
[17:14:07] tlhiv_laptop: once in there, i wonder if it's possible to "skip" to a particular "track"

[17:15:54] wagnerrp: a K8 board with AGP slot?
[17:16:09] wagnerrp: didnt know they ever made such a beast
[17:16:47] tlhiv_laptop: it was basically the first opteron workstation motherboard
[17:17:06] wagnerrp: what software do you use for pastebin?
[17:17:07] tlhiv_laptop: i got grant money for this machine in 2004, and it's still a very nice machine today
[17:17:21] tlhiv_laptop: i wrote my own pastebin, but it using ViM for the formatting
[17:18:21] tlhiv_laptop: this machine is a Tyan K8W motherboard, dual 2.4GHz opteron processors, 4GB ram, and had 1TB of storage when i built it ... of course i've "borrowed" all but one of the drives since i build the machine
[17:18:26] tlhiv_laptop: i'm down to 250GB in it ;)
[17:19:48] tlhiv_laptop: this machine is been sitting in my room turn off for over 2 years ... i'm glad to finally have a use for it
[17:20:44] wagnerrp: just wasting power IMHO
[17:20:52] tlhiv_laptop: well it wasn't turned on
[17:20:59] wagnerrp: well i mean it is now
[17:21:04] tlhiv_laptop: why?
[17:21:39] wagnerrp: a pair of old 89W CPUs and eight sticks of DDR
[17:21:47] wagnerrp: plus a workstation class motherboard
[17:21:51] wagnerrp: going to suck down a lot of power
[17:22:11] wagnerrp: probably idles beyond 200W
[17:22:17] tlhiv_laptop: perhaps
[17:22:40] wagnerrp: you could pick up a new board, dual core athlon II, and 2x2GB DDR3
[17:22:42] tlhiv_laptop: it would be nice if i could get my IR receiver to suspend and bring it out of suspend
[17:22:47] wagnerrp: for maybe $150
[17:22:55] wagnerrp: and it would idle closer to 50W
[17:23:14] wagnerrp: if its something you leave on all the time, you would make up the different in power costs within a year
[17:23:26] tlhiv_laptop: yeah
[17:23:52] tlhiv_laptop: well this is more of an experiment right now ... i would like to think it will last a while ... we'll see
[17:24:11] tlhiv_laptop: if i can get the remote controlling it appropriately, then the wife will like it and it will stay
[17:24:13] tlhiv_laptop: ;)
[17:24:26] wagnerrp: ah, so this is a test box to try out mythtv

[17:25:21] tlhiv_laptop: so far i must say that i am impressed (except for the minor annoyance of not just playing through a directory like MythMusic does)
[17:26:08] tlhiv_laptop: and there is the annoyance with MythMusic with not starting with "All My Music" instead of "All My Playlists"
[17:26:18] wagnerrp: yeah, weve got some big schema and internal structure changes coming in the next dev cycle
[17:26:32] wagnerrp: the hope is that in the process, adding playlist support will become trivial
[17:26:57] tlhiv_laptop: when i go to "Play Music", i see 3 panes
[17:27:04] tlhiv_laptop: first pane reads "playlist root"
[17:27:24] tlhiv_laptop: second pane reads "All My Music" and "All My Playlists" but defaults to "All My Playlists"
[17:27:48] tlhiv_laptop: and the third pane (since the second defaults to "All My Playlists") shows "Active Play Queue"
[17:28:15] tlhiv_laptop: I would prefer to have the second pane default to "All My Music"
[17:28:28] tlhiv_laptop: then it just reads the directories in my music folder

[21:23:41] wagnerrp: if it doesnt currently compile
[21:23:52] wagnerrp: youre probably looking at having to do a number of OS specific fixups
[21:24:02] wagnerrp: like you see in the code for freebsd and osx
[21:24:19] boringuy: well. First step is trying to get qmake. The qt4-dev-tools doesn't seem to have it.

[21:35:44] wagnerrp: i didnt, google did
[21:36:06] sphery: ah
[21:36:43] sphery: then again, you were the one I'd have assumed would be most likely to know--since you seem to have a handle on all sorts of alternative OS's
[21:36:56] boringuy: yeah. I have been using opensolaris for a long time but when Oracle bought Sun, I switched to Nexenta because the packages on OpenSolaris was a pain.
[21:37:25] sphery: yeah, and didn't the opensolaris guys basically have to give up or something?
[21:38:01] boringuy: Found qmake in libqt-dev but it's too old (4.3). So, need to download the whole qt source to see if I can just compile qmake.
[21:38:38] boringuy: Yup. They threaten to pull the plug and Oracle was like "go ahead, who cares..."
[21:38:59] sphery: :( Qt compile is always annoying... I generally leave it to run overnight. Note, also, that it generally takes many gigs of HDD space to compile (around 6GB last I tried, IIRC)
[21:39:34] boringuy: I don't need Qt to just compile the backend, right?
[21:39:58] wagnerrp: yes you do
[21:40:02] boringuy: I was hoping just to get qmake to generate the Makefiles and see if I can just compile the backend.
[21:40:13] boringuy: Ah.... That's a bomber.
[21:40:18] wagnerrp: what are you thinking qt is?
[21:40:28] boringuy: gui related?
[21:40:39] wagnerrp: no, thats just one thing qt provides
[21:40:43] wagnerrp: its not like gtk
[21:40:55] wagnerrp: rather, its a whole application framework and extension to c++
[21:41:12] boringuy: that I don't know. I always think qt is also just a graphical tool kit.
[21:41:35] wagnerrp: it also does that
[21:42:00] boringuy: Maybe I should just use older version of mythtv that will compile with 4.3? good idea?
[21:42:07] sphery: I'm still wondering how you can have an OS based on OpenSolaris and Ubuntu... Perhaps it's better if I don't know.
[21:42:23] wagnerrp: dont know if there is an older version
[21:42:24] boringuy: Disk space is not a problem. I just don't want to run into dependency hell.
[21:42:27] wagnerrp: did we ever support 4.3?
[21:42:37] wagnerrp: i through the qt4 migration in 0.22 required 4.4
[21:42:41] wagnerrp: thought
[21:43:10] wagnerrp: sphery: its like debian running the freebsd kernel
[21:43:13] sphery: that sounds about right... been too long
[21:43:31] boringuy: yes. basically it.
[21:43:32] wagnerrp: boringuy: on that note, how long have you been running nexenta?
[21:43:34] sphery: ah, wow... didn't even know debian did alternate kernels
[21:44:59] wagnerrp: yeah, they also have one based off hurd
[21:45:12] boringuy: running nexenta since Sept last year.
[21:45:40] wagnerrp: i was going to suggest you might want to try freebsd
[21:46:04] wagnerrp: its likely to get a lot more support
[21:46:11] wagnerrp: has a very functional support for zfs
[21:46:32] wagnerrp: and would probably be more like what youre used to in opensolaris, than something ubuntu based
[21:47:25] boringuy: I considered freebsd before using nexenta, the zfs in freebsd seems to be pretty old but nexenta's repo for other stuffs are pretty old.
[21:47:26] wagnerrp: plus theres at least two devs who are freebsd users
[21:48:19] wagnerrp: freebsd 8.2 runs zpool version 15
[21:48:44] wagnerrp: the developmental version 9 runs zpool version 28
[21:48:45] boringuy: I thought compiling the backend was just ./configure, remove all tuner card supports except hdhomerun ...
[21:48:59] boringuy: the qt requirement is a surprise.
[21:49:24] wagnerrp: Qt is our one absolute core requirement that you cannot do without
[21:49:30] wagnerrp: the whole of mythtv is built around qt
[21:51:25] wagnerrp: seems v28 will also be backported to version 8.3
[21:53:08] boringuy: I am at zpool version 26
[21:54:26] boringuy: well I will switch to freebsd 8.3 if that's the case. I will miss solaris zones and the admin commands ...

[22:28:34] Beirdo: ask Apple
[22:29:01] wagnerrp: boringuy: running mac software is easy
[22:29:04] wagnerrp: the problem is the UI

[22:30:20] lwizardl: what about apple?
[22:30:37] wagnerrp: theyre tasty
[22:30:38] boringuy: If they can make wine, I would think someone will try to make apple cider ...

[22:35:54] lwizardl: but where do i go for looking at installing the V4L stuff to be used on the new kernel in MythBuntu 11.04? I remember it being some type of ppa

[22:43:12] wagnerrp: bash is just a shell, or at most a programming language
[22:43:37] wagnerrp: you have to be comfortable with the system utilities and structure, which has nothing to do with bash

[23:15:16] jchance: hello.. i have been dealing with this issue involving my hdpvr and mythtv 0.24-fixes from the mythbuntu repos. I am running kubuntu 10.04 and what is happening is when the hdpvr is chosen as a tuner it comes on for a second and shuts off right as the frontend shows a TL lock. The hdpvr works flawlessly in windows and using cat /dev/videoX. I uploaded a copy of my backend log to pastebin.com here http://pastebin.com/pXf5uTYE . A
[23:15:16] jchance: ny help is appreciated and I want to thank you in advance for it.
[23:16:40] Beirdo: OMG, I can see my coffee table again

[23:20:07] wagnerrp: indeed!
[23:20:13] Beirdo: why else would 4TB not be enough? ;)
[23:24:12] lwizardl: ok now that finished installing hopefully i can get a working system :)
[23:25:05] awalls: lwizardl: back up you existin modules first.
[23:25:11] awalls: /existing/
[23:25:15] awalls: /your/
[23:26:00] awalls: What model HVR-1600 do you have, BTW?
[23:27:46] lwizardl: only thing the auction said was WinTV-HVR-1600 model ATSC/NTSC
[23:27:51] lwizardl: part number 5188–7452
[23:30:14] lwizardl: i'll look at the card after i finish these upgrades and need to reboot
[23:30:49] Beirdo: oh bugger
[23:31:17] Beirdo: I forgot.. I used the other PCIE slot... for a crappy video card
[23:31:27] awalls: No big deal. Only the latest model HVR-1600's need the latest V4L2-DVB drivers
[23:31:59] Beirdo: I'll have to see if I have some craptacular PCI video card around somewhere
[23:32:08] Beirdo: it's for console only

[23:32:51] ** awalls still has an S3 Trio32 based card in the house **
[23:32:57] lwizardl: awalls, ah ok well last install of mythbuntu when i looked at the ivtv device it said fail so I would guess i have a newer one
[23:34:06] awalls: Before you install the new drivers try: v4l2-ctl -d /dev/video0 --log-status
[23:34:19] awalls: wit the stock cx18 driver installed
[23:34:28] awalls: /with/
[23:34:51] awalls: (Assuming /dev/video0 corresponds to the HVR1600)
[23:35:02] lwizardl: i'll have to do that later if this one also fails. I already installed the new v4l. i'm now adding things using the MCC application
[23:35:14] lwizardl: yeah
[23:35:20] Beirdo: gonna have to dig through the bonepile at work and see if there are any old PCI video cards still
[23:35:22] awalls: MCC?
[23:35:24] lwizardl: I'll post what was displaying last time
[23:35:34] lwizardl: MCC = Mythbuntu Control Centre
[23:35:39] awalls: Ah
[23:36:10] lwizardl: Analog V4L /dev/video0 Hauppague HVR-1600 [cx18]
[23:36:29] lwizardl: MJPEG /dev/video0 Hauppauge HVR-1600 [cx18]
[23:36:40] lwizardl: IVTV /dev/video0 fail
[23:36:46] lwizardl: h.264 fail
[23:36:55] awalls: No. Use IVTV.
[23:37:19] lwizardl: DVB DTV /dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend0 Samsung S5H1409 QAM Subtype ATSC
[23:37:36] awalls: Yeah, that's the digital side of the card.
[23:37:43] lwizardl: USB MPEG-4 /dev/video0 Hauppauge HVR-1600 [cx18]
[23:37:53] awalls: (The HVR-1600 looks like two adapters to MythTV)
[23:38:04] awalls: Nope, use IVTV.
[23:38:08] lwizardl: yeah I was just listing off everything that mythtv was listing for options in the card config
[23:38:09] jpabq: jchance, Just guessing.... Myth will tell the HD-PVR which audio input it wants to use (S/PDIF for analog). If the HD-PVR is told to use an input that is not actually hooked up, it will refuse to start recording. Are you sure Myth is configured to use the inputs that are actually hooked up?
[23:38:23] jpabq: (S/PDIF *or* analog)
[23:38:38] awalls: Get to a command prompt and try th --log-status command I gave you earlier
[23:38:45] lwizardl: I was trying to take screenshots of them but seems that in mythbuntu it has that function disabled
[23:39:13] lwizardl: awalls, you want me to do that since this machine has the new v4l on it
[23:39:15] awalls: I suspect MCC is not happy about something the cx18 driver is returning.
[23:39:20] awalls: yeah.
[23:39:22] lwizardl: k
[23:39:26] jchance: jpabq: yep.. i was actually checking my spdif connection a second ago
[23:39:39] awalls: The cx18 driver is very much like the ivtv driver, buffer differs in small ways.
[23:39:53] awalls: /but/ not /buffer/
[23:40:46] lwizardl: awalls, ok errors and asks if i wanted a command from ivtv-utils
[23:41:24] jpabq: jchance, Looks like you were trying LiveTV. LiveTV can have issues. Does recording work?
[23:41:52] awalls: The v4l2-ctl in the ivtv-utils is old. The newer version is in v4l2-utils
[23:42:25] awalls: Do you have v4l2-ctl installed on the machine at all?
[23:43:09] awalls: Oh well. cat /dev/video0 > foo.mpg
[23:43:26] jpabq: jchance, also, I assume you only have the one V4L2 capture device? In other words, you are sure it is the HD-PVR hooked up to /dev/video0 ?
[23:43:28] jchance: jpabq: i haven't got that far checking recordings.. been trying to get live tv up and running where i never had a problem before this reinstall and move of the system its on
[23:43:28] awalls: Should capture an MPEG2 file from the HVR-1600.
[23:43:44] lwizardl: awalls, all i did was install the OS, and then grab the files, build the v4l, then did the install like the page said and restarted
[23:43:57] lwizardl: then i opened mcc and started to add a few things like log all
[23:43:59] jchance: jpabq: i can cat /dev/video0 and it works fine
[23:44:10] jpabq: jchance, Myth has always been much better at recording reliable, than it has been at doing LiveTV reliably.
[23:44:16] awalls: The HVR-1600 defaults to US broadcast channel 4, so you'll get snow if there is nothing on that channel.
[23:44:24] lwizardl: seems mcc errors on the mythmovies plugin also
[23:45:29] ** awalls has to step away **
[23:46:22] lwizardl: k
[23:46:47] jchance: jpabq: i just tried the rca connections where i hooked them up setting everything up saying it couldn't hurt and it started up and was working on them. i will try the spdif now again after checking its connections
[23:47:41] jpabq: jchance, Another thing, the HD-PVR does not like to have both the RCA and S/PDIF hooked up at the same time --- I think when that happens, it ignores the S/PDIF (but I am not sure).
[23:48:25] awalls: lwizardl: v4l2-ctl is a useful diagnostic tool so you can see if you problem is a hardware or cx18 driver problem
[23:48:30] jchance: jpabq: hahahahahahaha that could be my problem
[23:48:34] awalls: or an application program problem.
[23:48:51] awalls: You should install either ivtv-utils or v4l2-utils
[23:49:06] awalls: so you can start to narrow down the source of you problem.
[23:49:12] awalls: /your/
[23:49:26] lwizardl: k
[23:49:32] lwizardl: ok just pulled the card
[23:50:08] lwizardl: it says WinTV-HVR-1600 ATSC/NTSC 74551 LF Rev C1A3 (c)2006 Hauppauge
[23:50:21] lwizardl: part number 518–7111
[23:50:25] jchance: jpabq: that was my problem.. can i get a carlos mencia deeee deee deeeeeeee
[23:50:26] awalls: Ah, that's an older model.
[23:50:45] awalls: That one should work just fine, if the previous owner didn't break it somehow.
[23:50:49] jchance: jpabq: i had them both hooked up and thought nothing of it
[23:51:03] jpabq: jchance, good. Glad you figured it out. Feel free to update the wiki with your experience as it may help others avoid that problem.
[23:51:21] lwizardl: k
[23:52:02] lwizardl: says Conexant MPEGII A/V encoder system CX23418–22Z Z 0629 Taiwan
[23:52:06] awalls: I have one in my machine: Hauppauge model 74551, rev C1A3
[23:52:17] lwizardl: sweet
[23:53:23] awalls: You certainly shouldn't need the latest, bleeding edge drivers for it to work.
[23:53:28] jchance: jpabq: i will try to do that once i get the computer back in it's cabinet and all squared away... i was going out of my tree where no tv for like 3 weeks.. i missed burn notice's premiere because of this.. thanks again.. i wouldn't have figured it out without your help
[23:54:36] jpabq: jchance, Just tidbits of info picked up over time — glad it helped.
[23:56:33] jpabq: jchance, If you are actually going to use it with LiveTV, you *may* find that it looses audio on channel changes. I believe it is because it is resetting to it's default of AAC audio (which Myth does not support), instead of using AC3. I have a patch to fix that, which I guess I should go ahead and commit....
[23:56:36] jchance: jpabq: i am glad it did too.. i will say this though as a major positive. it seems mythtv is the only software that plays video well with the new AMD fglrx drivers tear free. vlc and mplayer both choke and get jittery
[23:58:00] jchance: jpabq: i use ac3 and haven't had it loose audio except back on 0.22 and 0.23, but that was because i had to put a pause in my firewire channel change executable
[23:58:05] awalls (awalls!~awalls@d-72-9-4-240.cpe.metrocast.net) has quit (Quit: Leaving.)
[23:58:37] lwizardl: ok I just started the machine back up
[23:59:00] jchance: jpabq: i thought mythtv supported aac, wait it does. i remember trying it out thinking it was multichannel aac instead of stereo
[23:59:20] jpabq: Myth used to, but has not for a while now.
