[00:00:01] wagnerrp: dont expect more than standard definition MPEG2 playback on that P3
[00:00:21] wagnerrp: and dont expect a whole lot in terms of HD out of that P4 and Athlon
[00:00:24] branden__: I don't use the p3 since I stole its case
[00:00:25] skd5aner: iamlindoro: oddly enough – http://www.mythtvtalk.com/how-install-zsnes-6 . . . _64-a-11823/
[00:00:42] ** StevenR runs 32bit on this laptop (makes no sense to run 64bit) **
[00:01:05] wagnerrp: the higher end models (2GHz or better Athlon, 3GHz or better P4) should manage any broadcast MPEG2 you throw at it
[00:01:14] wagnerrp: but youre not going to get much h264 or vc1
[00:01:14] branden__: I have only one computer that can run 64 bit.
[00:01:20] wagnerrp: like off an HDPVR or bluray
[00:01:37] wagnerrp: and even the MPEG2 on a bluray will give it trouble
[00:01:47] skd5aner: iamlindoro: I also haven't tried in the liast 8 months, so it could have gotten better – but I know I started playing around with it back in 2006/2007 and tried again last summer/fall and still didn't have much luck at the time
[00:01:49] ** StevenR keeps considering a little nvidia-atom thing for a mythbox for his parents **
[00:02:05] wagnerrp: StevenR: it makes no sense not to run 64-bit
[00:02:13] StevenR: (they only have a freeview stream)
[00:02:18] branden__: I have only one gig of ram on the box.
[00:02:21] iamlindoro: skd5aner: I haven't done emulation in a while-- when I get the urge, it's usually for something supported by ScummVM, which runs wonderfully on pretty much anything at this point
[00:02:43] wagnerrp: IONs are usable, but not recommended for mythtv
[00:02:44] branden__: It is said the switching point of 32 bit to 64 bit is at 2 gigs of ram.
[00:02:55] wagnerrp: and they are highly recommended against for a backend
[00:03:12] skd5aner: iamlindoro: yea, at the time I thought it was probably better to try and run independent emulators, but an "all-in-one" might be a better way to go
[00:03:21] StevenR: wagnerrp: why. Where's the benefit to me on this laptop? I'm not at the limit of 32bit RAM.
[00:03:22] wagnerrp: branden__: the switching point of 32-bit to 64-bit is because 64bit systems have been out for 8 years now
[00:03:33] wagnerrp: x64_64 is the primary development platform for linux
[00:03:44] skd5aner: iamlindoro: last time I tried, I was goofing around getting wiimotes to connect via bluetooth – which wasn't too tough, but thought it'd make for a fun way to utilize the emulators
[00:03:55] branden__: I am just saying what the gentoo people told me.
[00:03:56] wagnerrp: if youre not on the primary development platform, youre going to run into more issues than if you were
[00:04:17] wagnerrp: the gentoo people are all about eeking out every last bit of performance, damn the consequences
[00:04:20] phil____ (phil____!~quassel@chello080109010223.16.14.vie.surfer.at) has quit (Remote host closed the connection)
[00:04:30] skd5aner: iamlindoro: I get bit by the bug to toy around with gettin mythgame up and running, then I realize that I don't really play the 5–10 consoles I have laying around the house much anyway
[00:04:32] wagnerrp: and 64-bit applications will use more memory than 32-bit ones
[00:04:33] branden__: #gentoo
[00:04:52] branden__: I only have one gig of ram on this box
[00:05:19] branden__: I was told between two and up is the change over point.
[00:05:38] iamlindoro: skd5aner: I have more or less become one of the primary Stewards of MythGame, though I don't use it quite as much as I would like. It needs an overhaul in a couple of ways, and I'd like to make it somewhat more mythvideo like-- I game it metadata lookup before .24, but in the fall I will try to find time for interface improvements
[00:05:46] iamlindoro: er I gave it
[00:06:10] branden__: Is mythtv very ram intensive?
[00:06:51] skd5aner: iamlindoro: yea, I thought the metadata thing was pretty cool! It was right after .24 launched that I gave it a go because of that change
[00:06:56] iamlindoro: A big problem with it right now is the fact that the UI and the DB querying are very wrapped up together-- I'd like to break out the DB methods and the UI, then improving it will be much easier-- it needs seperate metadata, scanning, and UI classes, and they're all mashed together right now
[00:07:00] wagnerrp: branden__: anyone who says two and up doesnt know what theyre talking about
[00:07:23] wagnerrp: they say two because 32-bit systems are limited to 4GB, and there is a kernelspace/userspace split
[00:07:28] branden__: wagnerrp, I wonder if x264 encoding will be faster?
[00:07:37] wagnerrp: on windows, that default split is 2GB for each
[00:07:47] wagnerrp: on linux, its 3GB for userspace, 1GB for kernelspace
[00:07:58] branden__: ???
[00:08:14] wagnerrp: meaning for performance, the time to switch is actually somewhere past 3GB
[00:08:18] wagnerrp: maybe 3.5GB or so
[00:08:40] branden__: So should I switch is the question?
[00:08:46] skd5aner: iamlindoro: in the .24 development time, I had a few patches I started to work on, but stopped because your metadata stuff kind of surpassed what I was trying to accomplish – which was parse artwork and stuff a little easier based on matchin the name of a a game with a matching image name, etc
[00:09:11] wagnerrp: you should switch to 64-bit for stability reasons, not performance ones
[00:09:27] wagnerrp: and if youre concerned about performance between 32-bit and 64-bit, just buy a new computer
[00:09:51] branden__: Saving up for a new one.
[00:10:05] wagnerrp: how much do you think a new one will cost?
[00:10:38] branden__: Well I am also waiting for amd to release its' new bulldozer architecture.
[00:11:13] branden__: That and I can't afford much intel stuff
[00:11:47] skd5aner: so, what's the story on mythweb – sounds like kormoc and xris have kind of abandoned it for other TODOs – are they going to go into a "keep the lights on" type of maintence mode? I know I've got at least 1 ticket with patches on it for mythweb – I hope someone is willing to look at it before the next release
[00:11:59] wagnerrp: a 3GHz Athlon II, 4GB of memory, and microatx board runs for around $140
[00:12:13] branden__: How many cores?
[00:12:17] branden__: just joking
[00:12:18] wagnerrp: tack on a $25 nvidia graphics card, and you have a very nice mythtv system
[00:12:19] wagnerrp: 2
[00:12:24] branden__: Really?
[00:13:02] wagnerrp: its another $100 if you need a case, power supply, and IR sensor
[00:13:15] branden__: I should stop.
[00:13:35] wagnerrp: 2.9GHz sandybridge system will be about $30 more than the AMD guts
[00:13:47] wagnerrp: but you can forgo the nvidia graphics
[00:14:03] branden__: I have a nice nvidia card.
[00:14:08] branden__: but it is agp.
[00:14:19] branden__: geforce 7600 GS
[00:14:39] skd5aner: iamlindoro: this was the article I was refering to – http://www.zsnes.com/index.php?page=news – check out the Dec 28, 2006 entry... not sure it's really changed since then since no development on it since that time period. Maybe I'll get back into researching other good alternatives for emulators
[00:14:48] wagnerrp: you havent been able to buy a system that supported AGP for some time
[00:15:02] iamlindoro: skd5aner: I think enough of us Use Mythweb that it will maintain at least baseline functionality, even if those of us who aren't web devs have to learn a bit to keep it functioning
[00:15:09] branden__: You now understand how old my computer is then.
[00:15:19] iamlindoro: skd5aner: There's always snes9x :)
[00:16:03] skd5aner: iamlindoro: yea, for some reason I either wasn't able to get that working too or avoided it... but I've slept way too much since then to remember what was going on – I need to just start from scratch again :)
[00:16:16] iamlindoro: skd5aner: I do intend to see the Metadata Lookup stuff in Mythweb for .25, though I'd prefer it get a review by a MythWeb maintainer... my reading of it is that it's fine, but I want maintainers to have ownership of their own code, even if they're taking a break
[00:16:46] skd5aner: yea – it's always easier to review and approve than to create from scratch
[00:16:54] wagnerrp: especially for something as big as the metadata stuff
[00:17:18] hadees (hadees!~hadees@72-48-91-73.dyn.grandenetworks.net) has quit (Read error: Connection reset by peer)
[00:17:46] skd5aner: I appreciate what xris and kormoc have put into mythweb over the years – it's really a standout feature
[00:18:03] iamlindoro: Thankfully the patch isn't that complicated-- all the work happens on the API side... so hopefully if one of them can't test it they can at least rubber-stamp it
[00:18:06] branden__: Just a random question because i have not had to take a look yet, but what programming language or programming languages is mytv written in?
[00:18:07] hadees (hadees!~hadees@72-48-91-73.dyn.grandenetworks.net) has joined #mythtv-users
[00:18:09] skd5aner: the "upcomming recordings" page is well worth it alone
[00:18:26] skd5aner: way easier to understand what's scheduled than via how it's displayed in the frontend
[00:18:28] wagnerrp: C++, with QT extensions
[00:18:49] branden__: No C?
[00:18:56] skd5aner: ++
[00:19:01] wagnerrp: plus a smattering of C, ASM, Python, PHP, and a bunch of XML for the themes
[00:19:23] wagnerrp: most of the decoder libraries inherited from ffmpeg are C, with a whole lot of ASM
[00:19:39] wagnerrp: some of the other high performance stuff like audio processing is C
[00:19:45] skd5aner: branden__: http://www.ohloh.net/p/mythtv/analyses/latest
[00:19:53] wagnerrp: but the bulk of mythtv is C++
[00:21:02] branden__: Not to be rude, but I have heard you have to define a lot of stuff in asm.
[00:21:46] iamlindoro: Not only is that not rude, it doesn't even make sense
[00:22:05] wagnerrp: as mentioned, we didnt write the ASM
[00:22:10] wagnerrp: we inherited it from ffmpeg
[00:22:23] branden__: ok
[00:23:30] ThisNewGuy: iamlindoro: sorry – kids n' dinner n' stuff – working on it now  – we can't all be as fast as you :p
[00:23:40] iamlindoro: ThisNewGuy: only teasing ;)
[00:24:23] russell5 (russell5!~russell5@pool-108-20-145-169.bstnma.fios.verizon.net) has joined #mythtv-users
[00:24:54] ThisNewGuy: I know :) – I'm gonna try to get it all in one patch so as not to clutter up the ticket – the hardest part will probably be formatting the extra info (description, year) – btw I still can't find that typo
[00:25:29] iamlindoro: ThisNewGuy: FWIW the API contains code to return a file in any storage group-- could easily add artwork to the recording details page. If you were interested in that/artwork picking of lookups as a secondary project, I could add APIs to get/set the artwork map for a given inetref and season #
[00:26:42] iamlindoro: ThisNewGuy: eg BackendServerIP:6544/Content/GetFile?StorageGroup=Fanart&FileName=Archer Season 1_fanart.jpg
[00:26:56] iamlindoro: can use those URLs to display the artwork directly
[00:27:19] iamlindoro: You'd just need an API to feed in the returned inetref and season and get back the right filenames
[00:27:43] iamlindoro: Obviously that's secondary to getting the lookup working... but just in case you were interested
[00:29:09] ThisNewGuy: iamlindoro: sounds cool – that's not a big itch of mine but it might be a cool next step
[00:31:53] Shadow__X: what does exit status 230 stand for in mythtranscode as it is not listed on the wiki
[00:32:10] wagnerrp: depends, what version are you running?
[00:32:44] Shadow__X: v0.24.1-53-gb43b015
[00:32:50] Shadow__X: .24.1
[00:33:35] Shadow__X: mythtranscode is only erroring out of its always sunny episodes. http://pastebin.com/DLriP7be
[00:33:42] Shadow__X: chicago code worked fine
[00:40:58] Shadow__X: i did notice it detects the height as 1088 instead of 1080
[00:41:48] iamlindoro: That's not relevant, 1088 is normal
[00:42:19] Shadow__X: oh ok. then is it failed to decode frame position was 0?
[00:43:25] iamlindoro: Yes, it's likely running into some corruption that it can't get past, mythtranscode is not very fault tolerant
[00:45:51] Shadow__X: is it also likely that numerous its always sunny episodes have the same issues that where recorded on different days and different times?
[00:46:07] iamlindoro: From the same channel and source?
[00:46:14] Shadow__X: yes
[00:46:22] iamlindoro: then yes, it's entirely possible
[00:46:49] Shadow__X: i will try some futurama episodes then, as they are the same channel as source as well
[00:47:46] Shadow__X: or would the issue be limited to the same program?
[00:48:12] iamlindoro: impossible to know
[00:48:27] iamlindoro: I can't guess what your cable system's issue are based on mythtranscode failing on it
[00:48:45] iamlindoro: Can only tell you that mythtranscode is running into an uncorrectable decoding error
[00:48:53] Shadow__X: sorry i didnt expect that i was just wondering based on your experience

[02:25:57] k-man: I really think the themes should be made submodules in mythtv
[02:26:09] k-man: at least the themes under /mythtv/themes
[02:26:36] k-man: it is very hard in git work on a theme outside of mythtv if it is not a submodule imho
[02:27:01] k-man: and the change should be transparent I think, to most users
[02:28:24] sphery: so you're saying that working on Terra or MythCenter* is difficult because you have to download the entire repo of mythtv core and mythplugins?
[02:28:35] k-man: sphery, well – not quite
[02:29:35] k-man: but for instance, I made a fork of MythCenter so I could work on it outside of the source for mythtv – now I'd like to be able to do some comparison between my fork and the original MythCenter theme
[02:29:53] k-man: its not easy to do that now because MythCenter is not an independant repo
[02:30:27] sphery: well, my plan involves moving terra and mythcenter out of mythtv (and into myththemes or external repos somewhere) and only have default/default-wide in mythtv and it would be a full-fledged theme and the default theme
[02:30:55] sphery: only problem is we need an all-new, designed from the ground up for mythui, complete default and default-wide theme before we can
[02:31:20] k-man: it also means the chagnes I'm making are harder to merge into the original
[02:31:23] sphery: not sure if/how you could do the comparison you want, but someone else might know
[02:32:11] k-man: sphery, I know I _could_ do it using various diffs and whathave you
[02:32:58] k-man: I'm more suggesting that for little or no change in our work, and a mere git command, the themes could be made into submodules, that would make life easier for others working on th themes
[02:33:26] k-man: and also make it trivial for you to move them out of mythtv code when the time comes (trivial in terms of git, not in terms of coding :)
[02:34:03] wagnerrp: trivial now means trivial later
[02:34:03] sphery: seems sensible
[02:34:10] wagnerrp: and as far as git things go
[02:34:21] wagnerrp: i dont thing sphery and i are the right people to talk to
[02:34:26] sphery: but ^^^
[02:34:36] k-man: ok – who is?
[02:34:38] sphery: yeah, others know git/make the git decisions
[02:34:42] wagnerrp: beirdo or xris
[02:35:04] k-man: ok thanks
[02:35:35] wagnerrp: i wonder if submodule is something we could have done for mythweb and nuvexport
[02:35:39] k-man: wagnerrp, correct, it would be trivial nor or later – but it would give me benefits now if done now :)
[02:36:19] Beirdo: wagnerrp: possibly, not sure off hand... too much mpegts.c filling me head
[02:36:56] k-man: Beirdo, i'd like to request MythCenter be made a submodule in git
[02:36:59] k-man: please :)
[02:37:04] wagnerrp: arrr... not the mpegts.c, blast it all to davey jones's locker
[02:38:55] Beirdo: k-man: not right now. Not by me anyways :)
[02:39:33] Beirdo: we should look into that though
[02:40:11] wagnerrp: k-man: basically, beirdo, xris, and janne are the only ones who seem to know the internals of git well enough to do stuff like that
[02:40:21] wagnerrp: janne is busy on other projects
[02:40:25] wagnerrp: xris got a real life
[02:40:40] wagnerrp: and beirdo? seems hes drunk on video transform algorithms
[02:40:44] Beirdo: heh
[02:40:54] Beirdo: j-rod could well do too if he has time
[02:41:48] Beirdo: right now, I'm fighting with #9926, in case you were curious
[02:43:44] k-man: if I work out what needs to be done and potential impact, would that help?

[02:57:47] xris: k-man: the hope is that all of the themes get pushed off to third-party repositories owned by their maintainers.
[02:58:12] xris: then the mythtv-themes project at github basically becomes a read-only aggregation of the theme repos
[02:58:21] k-man: xris, still, it would be helpful to make it a submodule
[02:59:00] k-man: even helpful for people like me trying to work on a theme (so it could head towards being independant of mythtv)
[02:59:03] k-man: imho
[02:59:33] k-man: and once a theme is satisfactorily being maintained by an external dev, the submodule could be removed from mythtv?

[03:02:39] GWG: My HDPVR seems to be nonfunctional
[03:02:58] GWG: Is that internal cheaper version compatible yet, or do I need to buy a full HDPVR again?
[03:03:09] xris: iamlindoro: what's resizing the images?
[03:03:23] iamlindoro: GWG: The colossus is 100% different hardware, and is unlikley ever to have linux drivers
[03:03:30] GWG: Darn it.
[03:03:36] xris: the biggest blocker I've had against adding fan art to myth web is that it's too high res for web use.
[03:03:44] GWG: I can't get a cablecard, I have a malfunctioning HDPVR...
[03:03:48] iamlindoro: xris: Nothing, banners are tiny by nature, a couple K a piece
[03:04:04] xris: oh, cool. didn't know there was a banner format.
[03:04:25] xris: are there api requests for fanart now?
[03:04:40] iamlindoro: You can request any artwork type you like, for both video and recordings, through the API
[03:04:50] iamlindoro: banners, fanart, or coverart
[03:05:22] xris: nice
[03:05:38] xris: so wish I had time to redo mythweb…
[03:05:57] ** xris curses osx lion's new smart auto-spelling-fix. it is *not* myth web.... **

[03:10:34] wagnerrp: thats one busy little recorder
[03:11:09] xris: iamlindoro: you have a patch for that, or was that just a conceptt?
[03:11:40] wagnerrp: theres a ticket open for it
[03:11:43] iamlindoro: It's the real thing, but nothing I'd want committed for now (my backend IP is hardcoded into the template for the <img> tag
[03:11:46] iamlindoro: wagnerrp: nuh uh
[03:12:03] iamlindoro: wagnerrp: This is not related to that
[03:12:09] wagnerrp: oh, thats not what #9939 does?
[03:12:16] iamlindoro: no
[03:12:42] iamlindoro: #9939 uses the metadata lookup API for setting inetref/season/episode when setting up recording rules
[03:12:45] wagnerrp: stupid suse... why cant you have a normal BIND configuration like everyone else
[03:13:00] wagnerrp: cant get the reverse lookup zones working
[03:13:04] iamlindoro: This is the API I just wrote/committed to allow pulling up the artwork for a given inetref/season/type
[03:13:06] wagnerrp: and its borking pvm as a result
[03:13:07] xris: iamlindoro: yeah, you'd at least want to write something into mythweb so it can grab/cache the banner on its own
[03:13:13] xris: or it'll never work outside a firewall
[03:13:37] iamlindoro: xris: Yeah, that's true-- anyway, it was just to test the API I just added
[03:15:02] xris: looks nice, though
[03:15:21] xris: still makes me want to completely redesign that whole screen, though. heh.
[03:15:24] xris: and the recording screen.
[03:17:05] iamlindoro: It does splash it up a bit, so that's nice
[03:19:04] xris: in my mind, I want to completely reorganize it. merge tv and video into a single UI. organize by category, genre, etc..
[03:19:30] xris: we'll see what happens if my product gets picked up as an actual thing.. and I can hire a team and launch it at the end of the year...
[03:23:16] wagnerrp: seems suse's autogeneration tool is broken, fun!
[03:24:30] wagnerrp: i guess i should just have the dhcp generator write that one too

[03:49:26] iamlindoro: xris: kormoc: There, added dynamic resizing for images to the API. Now if you request a fanart/banner/screenshot/coverart, you can also specify dimensions and the BE will resize and save a resized copy for future use
[03:50:14] iamlindoro: So BackendServerIP:6544/Content/GetRecordingArtwork?Type=Fanart&Inetref=79511&a mp;Season=4&Width=500 will give you a 500 pixel wide Fanart for that inetref and season
[03:50:29] iamlindoro: (Specifically, that's a 500 pixel wide Fanart for Torchwood Season 4)
[03:50:46] hoolio (hoolio!~hoolio@eth235.tas.adsl.internode.on.net) has joined #mythtv-users
[03:51:39] iamlindoro: That particular fanart ends up being 35K
[03:55:26] xris: iamlindoro: not bad. still pretty big for dialup, but good enough for most mythtv users.
[03:55:45] xris: but I'm old school. would prefer my entire site's worth of images to take up under 100k. heh
[03:55:50] iamlindoro: xris: That's uncompressed, I'm testing 60% quality right now to see how it is
[03:56:04] xris: 60–65% is usually great for web.
[03:56:08] xris: or save as an optimized 8 bit png
[03:56:18] xris: (the open source equivalent of gif)
[03:59:19] iamlindoro: Gets the 500x281 Fanart down to 16K
[03:59:43] iamlindoro: Not too shabby, all things considered
[04:00:08] iamlindoro: If you *do* decide to incorporate all the imagery, hopefully you can let the entire site take a *bit* more than 100K ;)
[04:04:01] xris: :)
[04:04:14] xris: well, screenshots on the recording list page are already too big.  :)
[04:05:53] iamlindoro: xris: Could always hook into the API instead of mythpreviewgen so you'd get 60% JPGs
[04:06:17] xris: so as a parent, I now desire some sort of filtering on the recording page. i usually watch from the "all/recent" list, but now it has 50x more stuff in it for my kid than for me.
[04:06:39] xris: iamlindoro: I think it does for half of them.. just not the rec page.
[04:07:12] iamlindoro: xris: I was under the impression that you guys hadn't hooked any part of MythWeb into the new API
[04:08:55] xris: I remember at least playing with the preview stuff a couple years ago when dblain wrote it. I was part of the reason for it, since there was no other easy way to get different-sized screencaps
[04:09:30] iamlindoro: I referring to the services API, which is only a couple months old
[04:09:58] iamlindoro: That's where all of what I am referring to is
[04:10:45] xris: ah
[04:10:51] wagnerrp: xris, thats not old school, thats absurd
[04:10:56] xris: then no. and of course for lack of time
[04:11:25] iamlindoro: Well anyway, it's all there if you or kormoc decide to pick it up again
[04:11:56] xris: wagnerrp: for mythweb, yes.
[04:11:58] xris: not for something like http://wingmanbrewers.com/
[04:12:16] ** xris is more likely to write something in python these days, vs php **
[04:12:38] wagnerrp: its absurd even for that
[04:12:51] wagnerrp: SOME people want pinups of beer stills and cookers
[04:13:47] wagnerrp: and.... dry hopping
[04:13:49] wagnerrp: :)
[04:20:11] xris: wagnerrp: that's what gallery pages are for. but the main pages should load in a fraction of a second.
[04:20:17] xris: esp. with google penalizing sites for slow loading these days.
[04:20:25] wagnerrp: ah, right... ill agree with that
[04:20:26] xris: or for sites like that one that live on home cable connections.
[04:20:52] xris: then again, we can't make beer fast enough.. so we must be doing something right. (more likely the tasty beer than the website, though)

[05:36:58] bumblebeebat: Hi Everyone, I have some hd-pvr's and they work great. I set a system up for a friend and there system is unstable. The HD-PVR needs to be power once or twice a night. I am a big fan of the hd-pvr. It is a device that can make mythtv work with almost any source, just brilliant. I want to help contribute getting this rock solid stable. Any suggestions on where to start. The hd-pvr linux driver, tabulating info about what sources crash the box, or
[05:36:58] bumblebeebat: the myth code? Is there any a bug report for this instability?
[05:40:31] [R]: usb is flaky
[05:42:55] bumblebeebat: So it would be a chipset driver problem
[05:43:14] Beirdo: most likely
[05:43:19] Beirdo: unless it's overheating
[05:43:40] bumblebeebat: Nope, It is in a pretty cool place
[05:44:01] Beirdo: then it's likely the chipset being flaky
[05:44:19] k-man: is there a device like the hdpvr that outputs over ethernet rather than usb?
[05:44:26] Beirdo: no
[05:44:33] k-man: thats a shame
[05:44:49] k-man: maybe someone should petition silicon dust to make one
[05:45:05] Beirdo: heh
[05:45:36] bumblebeebat: Hummm, flaky usb that might be more than I can bite off,lol
[05:46:04] k-man: I use an hdhr and damn that thing is solid!
[05:46:11] bumblebeebat: might be easier to get a new board
[05:46:55] bumblebeebat: Is there anyone working on Colossus drivers.
[05:47:18] bumblebeebat: that would take the USB out of the equation.
[05:47:58] Beirdo: not that we've been made aware of
[05:51:31] bumblebeebat: OK, cool
[05:54:47] bumblebeebat: Does anyone know if a list of the flaky chipsets has been compiled.
[05:57:18] Beirdo: I'm sure google could tell you that

[08:29:07] wagnerrp: and as such, you have no control over what user runs it, or what environment it runs in
[08:29:38] Psy123: Hmmmm. So if I load gedit – there is no way to get it to pop up on screen?
[08:29:58] wagnerrp: sure there is
[08:30:13] wagnerrp: if its the same user, you set 'DISPLAY' in the environment
[08:30:32] wagnerrp: if its a different user, you have to fiddle with X authentication and set the display
[08:31:33] wagnerrp: you may have a different HOME or PATH than you expect
[08:32:19] wagnerrp: on the master backend, tasks will always be run on the master backend
[08:32:21] Psy123: my desktop user is myuser, mythtv is the user (i think) that would execute the command
[08:33:23] Psy123: "DISPLAY" in the environment?
[08:33:42] Psy123: Im a noob – can you tell?
[08:34:38] Psy123: Im used to creating a script, running it and everything happens.
[08:34:59] Psy123: What would I google to find out about the subject you are referring too?
[08:35:01] ** wagnerrp heads to bed **
[08:35:09] wagnerrp: the subject?
[08:35:18] Psy123: Display in the environment
[08:35:28] wagnerrp: you figure out what your environment is with the 'env' command
[08:35:46] Psy123: Do I put that in the script?
[08:35:46] wagnerrp: since you only have the one machine, all events on that machine will be managed by the master backend
[08:36:02] wagnerrp: meaning it will be run using whatever user and environment the mythbuntu init script gives it
[08:36:02] Psy123: Ok
[08:36:13] wagnerrp: that will be the 'mythtv' user
[08:36:22] wagnerrp: but beyond that, i dont know how the environment will be configured
[08:36:35] Psy123: very confused.
[08:36:44] wagnerrp: using bash, you update the environment using 'export COMMAND=VALUE'
[08:36:46] Psy123: But thanks. You've given me a lot to go on.
[08:37:03] wagnerrp: rather 'export VARIABLE=VALUE'
[08:37:19] wagnerrp: the 'DISPLAY' variable is used by any X11 application to determine what server it should connect to
[08:37:19] Psy123: VALUE being the environment?
[08:37:28] wagnerrp: if you run 'echo $DISPLAY'
[08:37:33] wagnerrp: you will likely see ':0.0'
[08:37:44] wagnerrp: which means server zero, screen zero, on the local machine
[08:38:05] wagnerrp: if you ssh in, you can set that variable, run 'xterm' and it will pop up on screen
[08:38:20] wagnerrp: if you are logged in as a different user than that which owns the X server
[08:38:36] wagnerrp: you will have to manipulate the X authentication
[08:38:46] wagnerrp: it may be easier if you set up ssh auto-login
[08:38:53] Psy123: Got the 0:0
[08:38:53] wagnerrp: and have your script test if its the proper user
[08:39:05] wagnerrp: if not, ssh into the local machine with the proper user and call itself
[08:39:41] Psy123: Iteself? the script?
[08:39:43] wagnerrp: with public key login, you can get around the normal password issues associated with 'su'
[08:40:18] wagnerrp: you would run something like... ssh someotheruser@localhost -c the_script_you_want_to_run.sh
[08:40:42] wagnerrp: bedtime
[08:41:09] Psy123: OH so set the System Event to "ssh someotheruser..."
[08:42:03] Psy123: hmmmm im starting to follow – basically we're forcing the script to run as a desktop user? right?

[08:43:20] Psy123: should I elaborate on exactly what im trying to achieve?
[08:44:28] Psy123: Myth has a focus bug with the tuners full message which displays if I try and watch live tv while all tuners are busy.
[08:45:08] Psy123: I created a script to run wmctrl to switch from the mythfrontend window and back to it again – causing myth to regain
[08:45:09] Psy123: focus.
[08:47:26] wagnerrp: have you submitted a but as such?
[08:47:43] Psy123: Already submitted with 2 dups
[08:47:47] wagnerrp: rather than fiddling with ssh, you can probably mess with the setuid bit to the same effect
[08:47:51] wagnerrp: s/but/bug/
[08:47:55] Psy123: nothing done about it in 2 years
[08:48:00] Psy123: very busy I know.
[08:48:33] wagnerrp: in... 8 years? ive never actually done anything with the setuid bit
[08:48:48] wagnerrp: but i believe you set it, change ownership of the file to the user you want it to run as
[08:48:51] Psy123: setuid?
[08:49:06] Psy123: sorry – im pretty avg with linux.
[08:49:11] wagnerrp: and you can change userids to that user without root priveleges
[08:50:02] Psy123: you mean to the mythtv user?
[08:50:08] wagnerrp: correct
[08:50:19] wagnerrp: Beirdo: i imagine you know how that bit works
[08:50:26] Psy123: again is that done in the script or from the system event command?
[08:50:35] wagnerrp: and i know youre up, youre fiddling around on trac... :)
[08:52:43] Psy123: wagnerrp. THanks for your help. I've got some testing and research to do.

[09:16:35] Beirdo: I don't think you can use setuid on a script, only on a true binary
[09:17:53] Psy123: The script runs fine, its the programs executed within the script which do not.
[09:18:26] Beirdo: huh?
[09:19:27] Beirdo: anyways, I need to hit the sack
[09:19:36] Psy123: OK system event runs script which runs "wmctrl -a MythTV Frontend"
[09:19:40] Beirdo: work rolls up on me pretty quick
[09:19:52] Psy123: amoung other things
[09:19:54] Beirdo: do you have a full path on that?

[12:18:48] trumee: Wiki mentions CPU-- has an option for ivtv. But i dont have that?
[12:19:23] trumee: I have two 500 cards which are being fed through composite
[12:19:44] trumee: Hauppauge 500 cards
[12:20:28] trumee: how can i take advantage of the hardware encoders?
[12:22:53] trumee: wagnerrp, suggestions?
[12:26:05] stuartm: trumee: they are used automatically
[12:26:35] stuartm: the streams you get from the cards are mpeg2, not raw images as you'd get from a framegrabber
[12:26:50] trumee: stuartm, ah good.
[12:27:24] trumee: stuartm, wiki mentions ivtv in CPU--. That is no longer the case?
[12:29:42] stuartm: that only applied to the PVR-350 which had a hardware DECODER
[12:29:47] stuartm: and that's no longer supported
[12:30:39] trumee: oh, got it thanks
[12:32:12] stuartm: which page is that?
[12:32:19] stuartm: so I can remove the reference
[12:33:39] wagnerrp: no decoder options have anything to do with encoder cards
[12:33:49] wagnerrp: trumee: where does the wiki say otherwise?
[12:33:59] trumee: www.mythtv.org/wiki/Playback_profiles
[12:34:37] trumee: it explicitly mentions PVR-350, so i understood it wrong probably

[13:00:38] trumee: wagnerrp, just ran few movies/SDTV with Vdpau Normal. seems to be ok.
[13:00:50] wagnerrp: SDTV, yes
[13:00:50] stuartm: wagnerrp: good to know
[13:00:55] wagnerrp: not HD
[13:01:31] trumee: wagnerrp, right. dont have HD content except some x264 files
[13:01:48] wagnerrp: are they interlaced h264 files?
[13:02:04] trumee: wagnerrp, how do i check that?
[13:03:31] stuartm: to be fair it's only a slight stretch for the 8300 to do Temporal deinterlacing, it can work well on most HD
[13:04:15] wagnerrp: temporal 1x or 2x?
[13:04:25] stuartm: in fact, the 8300 probably wouldn't have trouble, it's faster than the 8200 which only struggles in a handful of cases
[13:04:28] stuartm: 1x
[13:04:42] skd5aner: wagnerrp: iPhoto, at least on OSX is a gallery/management program in addition to a basic image editor
[13:05:10] skd5aner: wagnerrp: not primarily an editor
[13:05:14] stuartm: I avoid all the 2x deinterlacers, I don't see any benefit from them and it's a real push for the 8200 anyway
[13:05:40] trumee: wagnerrp, stuartm i will stick with vdpau slim to avoid trouble

[13:10:54] wagnerrp: xbmc always seems to be spilling over with devs for assorted projects
[13:11:19] wagnerrp: i wonder if their community tends to be more contributing, or if their user base is just simply that huge
[13:11:53] stuartm: trumee: are you using a TV or monitor?
[13:12:58] wagnerrp: skd5aner: it looks like iphoto's metadata is stored in XML? does that sound right?
[13:13:11] skd5aner: yes
[13:14:08] wagnerrp: crazy bastards wrote their own manual XML parser for it
[13:14:14] skd5aner: there's also an internal db if I'm not mistaken, but I think it maintains iPhoto specific stuff... similiar to how iTunes exposes some of the metadata in XML and some in a db
[13:14:21] wagnerrp: why not just use an existing xml library...
[13:18:39] skd5aner: you talking about apple or the guy who wrote the xbox plugin?
[13:18:49] wagnerrp: the xbmc plugin
[13:20:01] wagnerrp: they wrote a SAX/Pull style parser

[13:21:33] wagnerrp: the only reason i can think you would use such a thing is if memory constraints are a serious concern
[13:21:50] wagnerrp: otherwise, you just parse the whole thing into an etree
[13:21:56] wagnerrp: and peruse it at your leisure
[13:22:53] wagnerrp: but its not like they run off the XML file
[13:23:02] wagnerrp: they parse it into their own internal database
[13:24:02] foo8ar: hi all. i just installed a new backend (.24) and wanted to just copy the old recordings. the frontend shows me the recordings but are nonplayable "tfe file for this recording can not be found" anyone that knows where to look?
[13:24:32] wagnerrp: did you keep the old database?
[13:25:15] foo8ar: well i have a copy somewhere and exported/imported the recorded table
[13:25:39] wagnerrp: when you imported, did you use the settings to update the hostname to that of the new backend?
[13:26:04] foo8ar: nope looking into the table the recorded "hostname" is still the old name
[13:26:23] foo8ar: would that do the trick?
[13:26:28] wagnerrp: the backup/restore script has a utility to change the hostname from one to another
[13:29:32] skd5aner: what ever happened to janneg? http://www.ohloh.net/p/mythtv/contributors/474593934339  – just seems to have disapeared around when the clock struck midnight on new years eve
[13:30:04] wagnerrp: got caught up in other things
[13:30:27] skd5aner: such is life... just didn't know if it was something specific or kind of faded away
[13:32:16] wagnerrp: i think part of it had to do with the ffmpeg stuff
[13:32:26] wagnerrp: that happened near the beginning of the year
[13:32:35] skd5aner: what stuff was that?
[13:33:06] wagnerrp: the takeover/takeback/fork?
[13:33:19] skd5aner: ah – must have missed all of that
[13:33:53] wagnerrp: ffmpeg.org vs. libav.org
[13:35:21] wagnerrp: basically, the fork was an attempt to switch to a linux-kernel style of development
[13:35:39] wagnerrp: rather than lots of developers in a free-for-all on the source
[13:36:03] skd5aner: so, libav == ffmpeg, not necessarily just a fork?
[13:36:04] wagnerrp: you restrict it to a handful of committers, who review everything from the other developers before committing
[13:36:17] wagnerrp: no, there was a big public spat
[13:36:32] skd5aner: so, ffmpeg still exists as it's own?
[13:36:36] wagnerrp: yes
[13:36:44] wagnerrp: and libav is now a new project
[13:37:17] skd5aner: hmm, ok – their website makes it sound like they basically just restructured under a new name
[13:37:25] iamlindoro: Which is what they tried to do
[13:37:40] iamlindoro: they stole the domain and name and locked everyone else out initially, including the project lead
[13:37:46] skd5aner: ah, I see, so it didn't go over so well
[13:37:52] wagnerrp: not so much
[13:37:57] iamlindoro: Only when threatened with legal action were they forced to take on a new name
[13:38:28] iamlindoro: It is 99% about hating Michael N, the ffmpeg lead, and being spiteful, and 1% about actually wanting to reorganize
[13:39:31] skd5aner: ahh, I see the "legal threats" section on the ffmpeg site
[13:39:34] wagnerrp: heh heh...
[13:39:41] skd5aner: so, which side did janneg land on?
[13:39:58] wagnerrp: didnt he get shot in vietnam by his own troops
[13:40:15] iamlindoro: Janne is on the revolt side
[13:40:39] skd5aner: viva la revolucion!

[13:43:18] iamlindoro: ffmpeg
[13:43:18] skd5aner: and, which fork is mythtv aligning to?
[13:43:23] wagnerrp: iamlindoro: no, Mark Metcalf
[13:43:26] iamlindoro: he is, was, and always has been the ffmpeg project lead
[13:43:39] wagnerrp: bacon was one of the freshman pledges
[13:43:56] iamlindoro: wagnerrp: oh, you're right
[13:43:57] wagnerrp: well he was... after taking over from bellard anyway
[13:44:16] skd5aner: iamlindoro: I'm confused then – why does Michael N send a legal notices to ffmpeg.org about the logo if that's the one he's continued to be affiliated with? Isn't that like sending it to himself? http://www.ffmpeg.org/threat1.png
[13:44:51] iamlindoro: skd5aner: He didn't-- Mans Rullgard sent the threat to Michael
[13:45:14] skd5aner: ah, duh... I read it all wrong
[13:45:16] iamlindoro: Mans being one of the revolting revolters

[14:57:56] wagnerrp: justinh: the only thing i see there that might necessitate a fork is the move from embedded ffmpeg to shared library
[14:58:10] wagnerrp: i would expect the ffmpeg keep an internal copy for the same reason we did
[14:58:27] wagnerrp: and the people who felt the need for the fork would not listen to reason and more experienced minds

[14:58:56] justinh: yeah I read it that way too
[14:59:10] justinh: must be a fair bit of "apply my patch as it is or I walk" kinda stuff

[15:14:01] wagnerrp: i take anything before the first period in the recording filename
[15:14:20] sphery: since we'll have a 1021_20110724200000.mpg and a 1021_20110724200000.mpg.old
[15:14:30] wagnerrp: correct
[15:14:47] sphery: so it won't tell me about the .old because of the preview allowance?
[15:14:48] wagnerrp: is that bad?
[15:14:54] wagnerrp: correct
[15:15:33] sphery: the .old won't be in the db, and the user is supposed to clean it up himself

[15:18:39] Psy123: excuting script from system event...
[15:19:04] Psy123: if I run mythbackend from *myuser* script executes fine.
[15:19:22] Psy123: If i run it from *mythtv* ..script does not work.
[15:19:49] sphery: different ~/.mythtv/config.xml files?
[15:20:02] wagnerrp: no, he needs to run as the correct user
[15:20:29] wagnerrp: Psy123: shove a line at the start of the script, if not user X, ssh to localhost as user X and run command
[15:20:30] Psy123: correct wagneerp. Thought you were sleeping.
[15:20:41] wagnerrp: that was 7 hours ago
[15:20:52] Psy123: tried that.
[15:21:05] Psy123: got an error
[15:21:09] Psy123: ... BRB
[15:21:11] wagnerrp: what error?
[15:21:22] wagnerrp: did you set up public key auth so it would automatically log in?
[15:21:43] Psy123: cannot open display
[15:21:53] wagnerrp: did you set DISPLAY?
[15:22:12] sphery: and xauth
[15:22:17] Psy123: no protocol specified
[15:22:29] wagnerrp: if youre logged in as the correct user, xauth should be taken care of
[15:23:08] sphery: Psy123: that's because you don't have xauth set up for the user who's running the script
[15:23:30] sphery: ideally, though, the script wouldn't be doing any display-requiring tasks...
[15:23:32] Psy123: right... hmmmm <:)
[15:23:51] sphery: as user who's running X: xauth list
[15:24:00] Psy123: Its a display script. needs to switch to and from mythtv frontend
[15:24:11] Psy123: its a hack for a known bug.
[15:24:15] sphery: as user who's wanting to borrow X: xauth add <line from xauth list>
[15:24:19] Psy123: to regain focus.
[15:24:28] Psy123: and yes its reported and verified.
[15:25:17] sphery: easiest approach, though, is to run X as the user who runs the script
[15:25:26] Psy123: myuser – is me and mythtv is mythubuntus user who cannot run the script
[15:25:27] sphery: (which would be the user running mythbackend?)
[15:25:36] Psy123: mythtv
[15:25:49] Psy123: that user is the one with the problems
[15:26:05] sphery: but you're running X as you, right?
[15:26:31] Psy123: X? Im a noob -
[15:26:40] sphery: you can also set up sudo to allow mythtv password-less access to run the script as your user
[15:26:48] sphery: X = the GUI on your system
[15:26:50] Psy123: smaller words pls...LOL
[15:26:55] sphery: ps -efw | grep X
[15:27:04] Psy123: good advice. Done – no help
[15:27:19] Psy123: that is sudo visudo
[15:27:26] Psy123: ?
[15:27:35] sphery: actually X process itself will almost definitely be root, but xinit (or similar) would be your user
[15:27:47] Psy123: one moment. x as me ? ill find out.
[15:28:01] sphery: who logged in on the system?
[15:28:29] Psy123: Auto login
[15:28:41] Psy123: but "myuser" is me
[15:29:23] Psy123: when I kill mythbackend (run by "mythtv") and run mythbackend as "myuser" (me) it works
[15:29:50] Psy123: Xorg (if thats what you mean is run by root
[15:29:54] Psy123: )
[15:29:57] sphery: yeah, so that means myuser owns X
[15:30:34] sphery: right, Xorg = X = "actually X process itself will almost definitely be root, but xinit (or similar) would be your user"
[15:30:51] sphery: anyway, that is the problem
[15:31:05] sphery: so you can either make sure the script runs as myuser (with sudo or whatever)
[15:31:25] sphery: or you can try to set up X to allow other users by setting appropriate xauth tokens

[15:31:47] sphery: (which is challenging because they change each time you start X)

[15:32:20] Psy123: tried setuid – no luck – although probably doing it wrong
[15:32:40] sphery: you want to use sudo
[15:33:00] Psy123: OK let me explain.
[15:33:01] sphery: as in sudo -u myuser /path/to/script
[15:33:31] Psy123: hmm not tried that
[15:33:36] Psy123: one momnet.
[15:34:59] Psy123: Works, but ask me for passowrd = bad
[15:35:10] Psy123: needs to working without asking
[15:35:45] Psy123: sudo -u mythtv /opt/ssTrigger/wmctrl-mythfrontend.sh
[15:37:42] sphery: Psy123: yes, you need to configure sudo to allow the user who's running sudo to run the specific command without password
[15:38:17] Psy123: both users are set up in visudo
[15:38:48] sphery: Psy123: you need a specific line in sudoers saying, "let X user run Y script without a password"
[15:39:12] Psy123: I will post the lines
[15:39:14] Psy123: ...
[15:39:15] sphery: I'll let you figure out how to do that yourself (google + man sudo + man sudoers) or find someone else who will tell you
[15:39:20] sphery: I don't know sudo
[15:39:25] sphery: just know it can be done

[17:28:11] sphery: is it a mobile chip or something?
[17:28:19] wagnerrp: Neo
[17:28:27] wagnerrp: low power, 25W TDP
[17:29:51] sphery: heh, wow
[17:30:32] stuartm: ooh
[17:30:56] stuartm: that would make for nice backend, frontend too with vdpau
[17:31:11] sphery: heh, you can't do AMD chips with nvidia graphics, silly
[17:31:32] sphery: unless you buy a separate discrete card, which uses a lot more power than integrated

[17:32:24] sphery: (just a commentary on how unfortunate it is that integrated graphics now means no current nvidia graphics since nvidia got out of the chipset business)

[17:40:44] iamlindoro: elkin: There's a bug there, but you can't set artwork on rules without inetref
[17:40:50] iamlindoro: The bug is that it's allowing you to
[17:41:02] iamlindoro: You *must* have an inetref to use artwork
[17:41:38] elkin: iamlindoro: OK, should I post a bugreport?
[17:41:42] iamlindoro: No
[17:41:53] elkin: iamlindoro: ok
[17:42:45] elkin: iamlindoro: can a set a bogus inetref? or reset the changes I have done?
[17:42:51] iamlindoro: Meanwhile, you should remove the row that has no inetref from recordedartwork
[17:43:05] iamlindoro: elkin: yes, you can put whatever you want in inetref, it doesn't have to work at the metadata source
[17:43:14] iamlindoro: For my "cycling" rule, I set the inetref to "Cycling"

[22:58:59] jams: wagnerrp- two things 1) smolt_mythtv.py can be removed, it's no longer used. 2) sendProfile.py gives permission denied when trying to run it from the FE. works fine after changing the permissions to have executable.

[23:10:51] wagnerrp: iamlindoro: ttvdb.py already has a -t for 'only return the top rated graphics for a tv series'
[23:11:07] wagnerrp: should i disable that? make it only respond to '--toprated'?
[23:11:42] iamlindoro: wagnerrp: Remove it, IIRC we already order our returns in order of rating
[23:11:50] iamlindoro: so the option is redundant

[23:55:57] iamlindoro: I am not sure whether it will cause more or less complaints either way
[23:56:05] wagnerrp: perhaps later
