[00:02:07] wagnerrp: any suggestion on how to wipe a couple logs from buildbot?
[00:02:37] wagnerrp: namely, all the ones from the last few hours which were building with my root environment
[00:02:53] wagnerrp: i dont have permission to touch the files
[00:03:00] wagnerrp: and sudo doesnt allow 'cd'
[00:03:14] wagnerrp: buildbot will probably bitch if i change permissions
[00:03:51] wagnerrp: Beirdo: ^^^
[00:04:25] Beirdo: you'd have to go in as root to wipe them, I'd think
[00:04:41] Beirdo: sudo doesn't allow cd?!
[00:04:46] Beirdo: what in the heck?

[00:06:57] wagnerrp: http://code.mythtv.org/buildbot/builders/mast . . . t/logs/stdio
[00:07:33] wagnerrp: not a real big issue
[00:07:45] wagnerrp: and likely never to be seen again within a few hours
[00:08:03] Beirdo: not sure how to selectively delete logs off the master
[00:08:04] wagnerrp: once it flushes off the waterfall out of the last page of individual logs

[00:30:14] petethepirate: I just got a serial ir receiver for my mythtv today, and I'm having problems getting it working. Anyone know what this means, or if it has anything to do with my serial ir receiver not working? irc_serial: auto-detected active low receiver
[00:37:08] kormoc is now known as kormoc_afk
[00:40:36] k-man: petethepirate, I don't think so
[00:40:43] k-man: petethepirate, have you tried testing with irw?
[00:41:07] petethepirate: k-man: I get no response from irw.
[00:41:15] k-man: hmm...
[00:41:26] k-man: forget testing in mythtv until you get a response from irw
[00:41:43] petethepirate: Add -L /path/logname -D7 to launch lircd with logging right?
[00:41:45] k-man: there is another command – wich is more direct hang on
[00:41:58] petethepirate: Are you thinking of mode2?
[00:42:08] k-man: ah yeah
[00:42:10] k-man: thats it
[00:42:18] k-man: do you get anything using mode2?
[00:42:50] k-man: fwiw, I use a serial irc receiver at home too – but its many years since I configured it. I have no idea how I did it now
[00:42:53] petethepirate: How many lines can I paste in chat? I have 5, should that many go to pastebin?
[00:42:59] k-man: petethepirate, 1
[00:43:04] k-man: yes, pastebin
[00:43:04] wagnerrp: 2
[00:43:15] k-man: wagnerrp is more generous than me ;)
[00:43:31] wagnerrp: hey, thats what the rules say

[00:44:35] petethepirate: http://pastebin.com/HQ8Rb62q
[00:48:10] petethepirate: I keep reading I do/don't want lirc-modules-source. Do I want/need this?
[00:48:34] k-man: pastebin the output of dmesg too
[00:48:49] petethepirate: k-man all of it?
[00:48:51] k-man: petethepirate, afaik, yes you need it
[00:48:59] k-man: petethepirate, well, anything relevalt to serial and lirc
[00:49:03] k-man: relevant
[00:49:21] k-man: oh – sorry, I see you included that in tht paste
[00:49:22] k-man: sorry
[00:50:13] petethepirate: http://pastebin.com/7DMuupST – entire dmesg if needed.
[00:51:35] k-man: I think you need to get mode2 working before proceeding
[00:51:46] k-man: I'll just check what I have on my machine at home – hang on
[00:52:25] k-man: ah – my network is down at home
[00:52:27] k-man: can't check
[00:54:04] petethepirate: I'm googling the error with mode2.
[00:55:25] Beaver: I'm having an issue setting up Mythbuntu on a direcTV system using the HD PVR. After configuring the backend I get Card 1 (tpe Component) is set to star on channel Please add, which does not exist. How do I go about setting up channels the PVR itself isn't going to be doing any tuning?
[00:56:18] wagnerrp: Beaver: just download the lineup from your schedules direct account
[00:56:33] iamlindoro: The PVR *must* do tuning. You need to set up an IR blaster or other means of MythTV changing the channels on the direcTV box. Most commonly, this is by using a channel changing script that fires off the appropriate IR codes
[00:57:14] petethepirate: My paste bin posting is the #5 google search for my error.
[00:57:34] Beaver: Okay, I added schedules direct as a video source. Do I need to do that manually? Also, I have a windows MCE blaster that I plan on using for tuning.
[00:57:44] Beaver: Though I haven't even attempted to set that up yet.
[00:58:03] wagnerrp: for now, you can use '/bin/true' as your external channel changer
[00:58:13] wagnerrp: but to actually make mythtv functional, you will need to use a blaster
[00:58:43] wagnerrp: when you created a video source and pointed it at your schedules direct lineup
[00:58:50] Beaver: Correct.
[00:58:54] wagnerrp: there should have been an option to download the lineup from the listing source
[00:59:48] Beaver: I'll attempt that again, then. I saw the button but hitting enter over it didn't seem to do anything.
[01:00:13] Beaver: Will running mythfilldatabase do the same thing?
[01:00:39] wagnerrp: if everything else has been set up, yes
[01:01:25] k-man: petethepirate, any clues from google?
[01:01:29] Beaver: Okay. I'll try to set up the baster while that does that then
[01:02:06] petethepirate: k-man: working on it.

[01:03:53] k-man: petethepirate, iirc, you need to ensure the correct serial lirc module is compiled and installed. once it is installed there will be a /dev/lirc<something> device
[01:03:55] petethepirate: k-man Progress! /dev/lirc0 gives me responses from my remote.
[01:04:06] k-man: yay!
[01:04:36] k-man: and then you need to configure lircd to use /dev/lirc0 on startup
[01:04:38] petethepirate: Still no response from irw.
[01:04:49] k-man: petethepirate, but mode2 works?
[01:04:57] petethepirate: 7103 ? Ss 0:00 /usr/sbin/lircd --output=/var/run/lirc/lircd --device=/dev/lirc0
[01:05:03] petethepirate: k-man: yes mode2 works.

[01:06:27] k-man: ire?
[01:06:42] petethepirate: ire=irw
[01:07:08] k-man: petethepirate, iirc, irw connects to lircd and displays what lircd is receiving
[01:08:27] petethepirate: k-man: more progress. I added my tivoseries1 file to ircd.conf and I'm getting responses from irw.
[01:08:37] k-man: ah good
[01:09:05] petethepirate: I should now just need to get the remote programed to lira eh?

[01:24:08] k-man: myth control center? what is that?
[01:24:50] Beaver: The Mythbuntu Control Centre in the system menu of the applications bar
[01:25:33] tgm4883: Beaver, geez what resolution are you using?
[01:26:00] wagnerrp: probably an old SD TV
[01:26:24] tgm4883: wagnerrp, but.... why?
[01:26:35] wagnerrp: dont know
[01:26:36] tgm4883: why hook up an HDPVR and then use an old SD TV?
[01:26:38] Beaver: tgm4883: No, it's on a newer Lucky Goldstar.
[01:26:49] Beaver: Stand by one, I'll get the res. I have it set to auto.

[01:27:02] wagnerrp: ive heard of lucky gold...
[01:27:26] tgm4883: 1024x768 should be enough
[01:27:33] tgm4883: 800x600 is probably too small
[01:27:42] wagnerrp: huh... it was goldstar
[01:27:50] wagnerrp: i had always heard gold
[01:27:58] Beaver: It's 1920x1080
[01:28:16] tgm4883: well now that doesn't make any sense
[01:28:25] tgm4883: that should be plenty to see the MCC
[01:28:28] Beaver: Right.
[01:28:30] wagnerrp: in any case...
[01:28:45] wagnerrp: tgm, could you confirm some disparaging remarks i made a while back
[01:28:56] tgm4883: looking
[01:28:58] wagnerrp: i recall you guys are patching the mysqldb 1.2.3 check out of the bindings
[01:29:29] wagnerrp: because ubuntu decided to backport the fixes to 1.2.2, rather than push out 1.2.3
[01:29:33] wagnerrp: this was actually on the mailing list
[01:29:43] Beaver: Yeah, everything is pretty huge. Is there a zoom setting that is on by default?
[01:30:02] wagnerrp: more likely ubuntu cannot get a proper EDID block from your tv
[01:30:08] wagnerrp: so it is defaulting to something huge
[01:30:21] wagnerrp: or small, rather
[01:30:55] Beaver: Can I set it manually?
[01:31:07] tgm4883: wagnerrp, false
[01:31:14] tgm4883: Here are the patches we add http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~mythbuntu/mythtv . . . ian/patches/
[01:31:23] tgm4883: that is for -fixes (eg. 0.24)
[01:32:41] wagnerrp: this is for trunk/0.25
[01:32:45] wagnerrp: 0.24 had no such check

[01:37:44] petethepirate: Any idea why mythbuntu home center would not list home brew as an option for ir, but lira does?
[01:37:57] wagnerrp: tgm4883: actually, http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~mythbuntu-dev/my . . . n_mysqldb.py is different from upstream
[01:38:29] wagnerrp: but it outright blocks it, rather than allowing it with sufficiently modern mysqldb module

[01:40:06] tgm4883: wagnerrp, interesting, that is suppose to import from you guys
[01:40:33] tgm4883: wagnerrp, actually, that hasn't updated since Dec 2010
[01:40:47] tgm4883: I doubt it's used anymore, give me a sec and I'll verify
[01:41:17] wagnerrp: yeah, your copy is mine from prior to dec 07, 2010
[01:42:41] tgm4883: wagnerrp, sec, since the change to git it gets a little more confusing for me to find some things
[01:42:50] tgm4883: since our packaging scripts are kept on git now

[01:45:42] [R] ([R]!~rbox@unaffiliated/rbox) has joined #mythtv-users
[01:48:21] wagnerrp: well now im confused
[01:48:51] wagnerrp: the version check in configure simply checks for any mysqldb
[01:48:59] wagnerrp: but the one in the bindings checks for a specific version
[01:49:08] wagnerrp: the user passed the configure check, but failed thr runtime
[01:49:39] tgm4883: And they were running our packages?
[01:49:43] wagnerrp: which means he had a copy of mysqldb installed against python 2.7, that was not supposed to be compatible with 2.7
[01:49:46] wagnerrp: no, building from source
[01:49:51] tgm4883: ah
[01:49:57] wagnerrp: i thought i remember at some point you guys patching that runtime check out
[01:50:20] wagnerrp: because canonical had backported the fixes to the older version of mysqldb, and stuck with the older version
[01:50:27] tgm4883: not that I recall, we try to keep our patching to a minimum
[01:50:39] tgm4883: I'll ask superm1 and Daviey about it though
[01:50:45] wagnerrp: not that you had done anything improper
[01:50:54] wagnerrp: but that canonical had done something stupid, and you had to correct for it
[01:53:46] wagnerrp: im also confused as to how 0.24 works at all
[01:53:53] wagnerrp: since it outright blocks python 2.7
[01:54:18] wagnerrp: erm, nevermind
[01:54:23] wagnerrp: it blocks nothing

[01:59:11] petethepirate: Does anyone know the difference between /etc/lirc/lircd.conf and ~/.lirc/mythtv?
[02:00:03] [R]: lircd.conf is the name to code mapping
[02:00:13] [R]: the other one is the name to key mapping
[02:00:19] [R]: rather code to name*
[02:00:36] k-man: petethepirate, did you mean ~/.mythtv/lirc?
[02:00:43] petethepirate: [R]: I keep reading instructions telling me to put them in ~/.lirc/mythtv, any idea what that is?
[02:00:51] [R]: "them"?
[02:01:01] petethepirate: k-man: that would make more sense.
[02:01:18] petethepirate: them = ~/.mythtv/lirc
[02:01:23] k-man: petethepirate, yes, that is where you bind button X to mythtv key keypress Y
[02:02:23] k-man: iirc, I have linked ~/.lircrc to ~/.mythtv/lircrc as mythtv uses the later, but mplayer uses the former....
[02:02:41] k-man: you can put mplayer keys into the file also, so mplayer will work too
[02:02:46] [R]: mythtv will use ~/.lircrc also
[02:02:57] k-man: will it?
[02:03:42] [R]: yup
[02:03:50] k-man: hmm interesting
[02:04:00] k-man: not sure why I opted to put it in the mythtv directory
[02:06:56] [R]: why would you even need a link
[02:07:01] [R]: you could put hte myth stuff in one file
[02:07:03] [R]: and other stuff in another
[02:07:50] k-man: err.... so its all in one file?
[02:07:55] k-man: I dunno – it works for me

On a DirecTV w/ HD PVR system I have gotten the install configured to the point where I can get into Watch TV but it only displays a black screen with program information. I cannot open DVDs, and the current resolution at 1920x1080 windows look larger than 640x480. Can anyone help?
[02:16:07] [R]: black screen with program information?
[02:16:31] Beaver: Yes, with a progress bar underneath. Like it's playing without a video feed.

[10:47:38] justinh: oh I dunno, having seen the price of the dvb-t2 sticks
[10:47:40] stuartm: at least HDHRs always were at least that much more

[10:50:32] stuartm: we get Freeview HD in a week
[10:51:03] stuartm: but since I'm already using DVB-S2 it wouldn't give me anything I don't already have
[10:51:52] seeker: 18th April 2012 here
[10:52:29] stuartm: and when the HD versions of ITV 2–4, E4, More4 etc go FTA they will only be available on Freesat since there isn't the room on Freeview
[10:53:26] seeker: Given the bitrate they have assigned to E4 on normal freeview, I can't see the HD version being particularly watchable
[10:54:10] stuartm: aye, hardly promising

[12:21:48] stuartm: justinh: the reason they were selling those so cheap is because no-one can shift them otherwise, apparently they clogging up stock rooms all over the place
[12:21:59] stuartm: that said, for under £90 I'd have one
[12:22:16] stuartm: since that price point is reasonable, the normal price isn't IMHO

[12:35:15] Tim_____: Hey, just wondering if you can point me in the direction of some quality troubleshooting info on testing capture cards. I have 2 identical but one has mysteriously stopped working.
[12:35:15] gordian: ac3. Is this possible?
[12:35:21] justinh: and this, the dual CPU phone!
[12:36:10] justinh: Tim_____: wake card up, see if it works. job done
[12:36:48] justinh: lspci.. if it shows up.. it may still be good. unload the modules.. reload the modules.. see dmesg.. if both cards are still listed.. maybe they both still work...
[12:37:48] justinh: if they both show up under dmesg as being registered correctly & nothing else is using them and still only one seems to work.. then I'd probably say it's faulty or there's a funky driver problem you got in an update which stops 2 of the same device working properly
[12:37:50] Tim_____: Thx justin. Didn't think of unloading and reloading the modules. Old machine has charged along for a few years without so much as a peep til recently...
[12:38:15] simcop2387: gordian: my understanding is that it can only be done without doing spdif passthrough, e.g. you have to decode the stream to do it. that will be more cpu required but you may be able to do it.
[12:38:38] justinh: resampling audio isn't exactly CPU intensive

[12:56:20] EvilGuru: and there I was thinking he had Llamas
[12:56:22] hashbang: justinh: gosh, so it is. Sucks for you. It was fixable on my Hero. :-)
[12:56:54] justinh: it doesn't really bother me that the wifi is flaky
[12:57:07] justinh: it bothers me that 3G is awful though
[12:57:17] hashbang: justinh: http://code.google.com/p/mylockforandroid/dow . . . can=2&q= supposedly fixes it, according to http://code.google.com/p/mylockforandroid/dow . . . can=2&q=
[12:57:20] justinh: it's like.. dialup
[12:57:31] hashbang: justinh: I think that's Orange's 3G. Sucked on my K800i, too.
[12:57:38] justinh: I changed to giffgaff
[12:57:45] justinh: sped up a lot but it's still awful
[12:57:52] hashbang: justinh: T-Mobile's is pretty good, providing they don't bar you semi-arbitrarily from using HSDPA
[12:58:14] justinh: it doesn't help that the proxy effort is now re-encoding images
[12:58:22] justinh: the data rate isn't the problem IMHO
[12:58:38] justinh: except when it is :)
[12:58:43] hashbang: justinh: I think T-Mo still throttle HSDPA to about 1.8Mbps, but that's enough for a phone, before the CPU/IO seems to tap out.
[12:59:04] justinh: DNs resolution takes ages
[12:59:15] justinh: then the actual page loading.. jesus
[12:59:26] hashbang: justinh: GiffGaff are O2, and I keep hearing complaints about their 3G being overloaded.
[13:00:05] justinh: I'll be able to say I had a go, but it sucked. now give me a proper mobile *telephone*
[13:00:31] justinh: it's funny but the things I thought would bother me just haven't. the UI is nice, responsive & all that
[13:00:38] ** hashbang barely uses his mobile as a phone. **
[13:01:13] justinh: I use mine mostly for text. the times I use it for browsing when I'm out & about it gets so close to being kerbed you wouldn't believe
[13:01:42] justinh: what? another person leaving? Christ, that's 4 this month!
[13:01:58] hashbang: justinh: my OH's has, I think, 4x the RAM of my Hero. That helps a lot as it stops apps being killed and restarted.
[13:02:16] justinh: 3 software guys, a product manager.. oh wait there are more.. and the head of HW development. oh dear
[13:02:50] justinh: hashbang: running out of ram isn't the issue. whatever they do to webpage serving is buggering it all up
[13:03:13] justinh: I'm loathe to change networks again
[13:03:41] hashbang: justinh: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.bladewififix&hl=en
[13:03:47] justinh: like I said, UI-wise the phone is pretty snappy most of the time.. and when it's not it's generally because I left a browser open
[13:03:51] justinh: hashbang: also doesn't work

[13:04:23] justinh: but when my sister unboxed her new HTC at my house the other week.. the *dialler* was unbelievably sluggish
[13:04:35] justinh: like 500ms lag or something
[13:04:59] justinh: not what I want in a phone that costs so much dosh
[13:05:03] hashbang: justinh: yeah, sometimes my Hero is quite laggy when I'm trying to do something realtime, like accept a call.
[13:05:24] justinh: methinks Apple were onto something not allowing multitasking
[13:05:25] hashbang: justinh: I can kinda see where Apple are coming from with their "no multitasking for third-party apps" policy
[13:05:28] hashbang: *snap*
[13:06:25] justinh: I gave up on the official FB app. they made it completely unusable & now it seems they deliberately slow down API responses to other apps
[13:07:08] hashbang: justinh: can't say I've noticed that effect myself
[13:07:47] MavT (MavT!~MaverickT@dns2.arel.com.au) has quit (Ping timeout: 240 seconds)
[13:07:51] justinh: oh – and when my phone got a bit laggy last month – I uninstalled google+. Phone was back to its old self immediately
[13:08:25] justinh: all this stuff is all very well & good.. but just not good *enough*
[13:08:38] justinh: and it appears that not even paying loads of money gets you good enough
[13:09:35] hashbang: justinh: the Wildfire S is probably the first, OOTB Android device that felt release quality to me, both in terms of hardware and software.
[13:10:18] justinh: yeah but it's like £££
[13:10:39] hashbang: justinh: compared with?
[13:10:44] justinh: I set a limit of £300 or so, either to buy without SIM or in terms of contract costs for the 1st year
[13:11:14] hashbang: 15*12=180.
[13:11:32] justinh: so I set out & looked at all the sub-300 phones I could find. then I saw the orange SF & the videos of it seemed to show it wasn't laggy or sucky like some of the £200-£400 phones were
[13:12:07] justinh: I've read about people's phones *crashing* when they go to accept a call. jees if my phone did that even once I'd bin it
[13:12:19] justinh: well ok maybe twice
[13:12:31] hashbang: justinh: nope, not seen that with my Hero
[13:12:39] hashbang: justinh: that would be a showstopper
[13:12:57] justinh: hashbang: anyway, you know how much I spend on calls etc? cos I can't remember when I last topped up with a tenner
[13:12:58] hashbang: justinh: TBH, I think a lot of grief is caused by people installing crappy apps
[13:13:11] hashbang: justinh: heh, fair enough
[13:13:16] justinh: it was at least 2 months ago
[13:13:42] hashbang: justinh: I was spending £10–15 pcm on 100–150 texts with Orange PAYG, so £15 pcm for 300m/unltd txt/3GB data was a no-brainer for me.
[13:13:50] justinh: don't get me wrong, the sub hundred quids smartphone isn't all pap – certainly not compared to the £300 ones I've seen
[13:13:57] justinh: 3GB a month? hahaha
[13:14:22] hashbang: justinh: it still is 3GB, until the end of Feb, for me. :-)

[13:14:34] justinh: but it ain't no shiny shiny, mega fast bling experience like the iPhone. only problem there being Apple, iTunes etc.. oh and the expense
[13:14:45] hashbang: justinh: most data FUPs are 500MB or less.
[13:15:00] hashbang: justinh: and T-Mo don't charge if you go over, just throttle
[13:15:06] justinh: I don't go easy on data & I'm hard-rpessed to use more than 150MB
[13:15:29] hashbang: justinh: yeah, I'm usually 50–150MB/mo, but used an extra 500MB when I was in London one weekend.
[13:16:05] justinh: hell if I go over 200MB I think I might flatten the battery
[13:16:19] justinh: oh, and it makes a great £10 satnav :-)
[13:16:32] justinh: and GPS training gadget
[13:16:46] hashbang: justinh: some of that was probably my RSS reader syncing overnight whilst on a charger (too tight-fisted to pay for hotel wifi!)
[13:17:15] justinh: hotel wifi.. 'only' £10 per day
[13:18:43] hashbang: justinh: not convinced by Google Nav. Sygic seems OK, though. Tom Tom still best dashboard UI+voice, though.
[13:19:05] justinh: tomtom android app?!
[13:19:18] hashbang: nope, real hardware TomTom
[13:19:22] justinh: haha
[13:21:24] hashbang: justinh: I see even TomTom's low-end models include real-time traffic now, I guess over a private 3G connection. They must be hurting a bit, given Google Nav etc.
[13:21:57] justinh: never really seen much point in real-time traffic info
[13:22:11] justinh: there generally isn't more than one way to places I go
[13:22:28] hashbang: justinh: the RDS stuff seems pants, as it's only motorway-level in the UK
[13:22:36] justinh: rule of thumb: avoid the M6 near Brum if it's not the middle of the night
[13:22:46] hashbang: justinh: potentially handy in city centres, though

[13:25:09] justinh: I've done that a couple of times. compares to Manchester quite well, only with more courteous drivers
[13:25:22] hashbang: *facepalm*
[13:25:25] justinh: way better signage too
[13:25:35] hashbang: remind me to /never/ drive in Manc. :-)
[13:25:55] justinh: seriously. they *never* let you in
[13:26:22] hashbang: worst thing I found was traffic covering up the lane markings on the road, which meant I ended up driving along the lane separator, only to get beeped when I committed at the last minute.
[13:26:43] EvilGuru: central london is just a nightmare
[13:26:45] justinh: getting beeped? you're lucky
[13:26:54] justinh: try being followed. LOL
[13:27:27] justinh: or, as when I did a bit of exploring when I moved down to manchester... driving around at night to get the lie of the land... being followed
[13:28:51] hashbang: <blatant north-ism>I guess Londoners are too busy having jobs to go to than be bothered following people</north-ism>
[13:29:06] justinh: talk about a quick way to learn where the nearest police station is :D
[13:29:20] hashbang: assuming it wasn't plain clothes. :-)
[13:31:40] justinh: I assumed it wasn't, in a lowered car fitted with twin baked bean tin exhausts, seats rammed full of youths with peachfuzz tashes
[13:32:58] justinh: it's such a nice city really. Honest
[13:33:09] justinh: if you like paying £400 a year over the odds for your insurance
[13:35:18] hashbang: heh
[13:39:13] justinh: an agency I spoke to thought I was quite mad going for a job that involved a cut in salary til I explained it wasn't a cut
[13:39:39] justinh: sure the number was lower but I'd have to travel less far, and since I'd live in an NE or DH postcode my costs of living would be reduced
[13:40:02] justinh: not that the job actually existed but hey that's an agency thing
[13:41:30] justinh: leaving presentation I've just been to basically went "sorry this place made you feel like leaving"
[13:41:49] hashbang: bear in mind that a lot of the folks working for agencies are probably 20-somethings still living at home with little life experience
[13:41:53] justinh: people are even quitting without anything else lined up, it's that bad
[13:42:04] justinh: hashbang: bear in mind nothing. they're scum
[13:42:50] justinh: hmmmkay, since installing ubuntu on my desktop machine & printing out a test page.. I haven't needed to print anything.. and now I find I can't
[13:42:52] hashbang: justinh: one once thought that a £1–2K gross pay rise was enough to make me leave an employer with whom I had (then) £100K+ in share options.
[13:43:06] justinh: heh
[13:43:26] justinh: advertising made up posts should definitely be against the law

[13:58:46] Tim_____: Quick question – mythtv has just started refusing to use more than one card at a time... Can anyone point me in the direction of a good place to look into this?
[13:59:02] justinh: nah it's just crapping out on the jobs I send it. back to windows I go
[13:59:15] hashbang: Tim_____: mythtv-setup
[13:59:58] hashbang: Tim_____: also, have you rebooted recently? If so, your tuner cards might have juggled around. Load the modules with adapter_nr=n,m options to fix their slots
[14:00:32] Tim_____: Yeah, have been playing around with input groups.... Nothing seems to be helping. Found only one thread on mythtvtalk that made that suggestion.
[14:01:41] justinh: ignore mythtvtalk.com, FWIW
[14:02:03] justinh: lots of clueless questions. about 1 or 2 people giving answers
[14:02:09] Tim_____: I've removed the adapters from mythtv and reset them up, tried setting up a new epg feed.
[14:02:54] Tim_____: Yeah, got there via google. It's either that or Ubuntu forums from a search engine...
[14:03:26] justinh: so do both cards take the same video/signals ?
[14:03:38] justinh: both looking at the same thing? etc?
[14:03:51] Tim_____: Yep, exactly the same.
[14:04:09] justinh: and these tuners are?
[14:04:09] Tim_____: Separately they both work fine, but for some reason they don't want to play together.
[14:04:26] Tim_____: Leadtek PCI "DTV-1000 T"

[14:04:37] EvilGuru: Tim_____: Do the logs say anything of interest?
[14:04:38] justinh: so dvb-t then
[14:04:52] fendrychl (fendrychl!~fendrychl@ns1.neomezeny-hosting.cz) has left #mythtv-users ()
[14:04:55] justinh: EvilGuru: never ask the user if the logs say anything of interest. Just ask to see the log :)
[14:05:21] justinh: remember how all those plain English error messages just don't grab anybody's attention ;)
[14:05:53] Tim_____: Yes. I really haven't been able to find anything in the logs – can pastebin them if you like.
[14:05:58] EvilGuru: kids these days, when I was a young'n the first thing you'd do when something broke was check the logs
[14:06:23] justinh: Tim_____: backend log would be the only place anything pertinent would show up
[14:06:39] justinh: kids these days, they expect everything to just work (tm) when they install linux!
[14:07:37] EvilGuru: I remember when you had to recompile a kernel to get your network adapter to work
[14:07:45] EvilGuru: ...oh wait, I had to do that yesterday
[14:08:02] justinh: cue the Yorskhiremen speech from Monty Python, but with linux-isms
[14:08:21] hashbang: EvilGuru: oh yeah? I remember when I had to recompile a kernel to get my main CMD640 IDE controller to not corrupt the attached discs.
[14:08:27] mycosys: i dont understand why linux is supposed to do stuff windows never has, or it isnt as good
[14:08:54] EvilGuru: Nearly always buggy hardware
[14:09:01] mycosys: just because it has and supports so much without stuffing around like you have to in windows, they expect it will be like that with everything
[14:09:09] Tim_____: Actually, one line in the backend log 'might' be pertinent: "DTVSM(/dev/dvb/adapter1/frontend0) Error: Wrong PMT; pmt->pn(550) desired(545)"
[14:09:19] justinh: Tim_____: then you need to rescan
[14:09:24] EvilGuru: Tim_____: Last time I got that was because the transports changed
[14:09:25] mycosys: Tim_____: pastbin it
[14:09:35] EvilGuru: you do not just want to rescan, you also need to nuke the transports
[14:09:43] EvilGuru: (which rescanning doesn't do for some reason)
[14:09:50] hashbang: mycosys: I tell people to think of out-of-distro drivers, packages etc as being like being able to use Microsoft's internal private build of Windows.
[14:10:12] hashbang: mycosys: if they want JFW, buy things that are on the HCL for your chosen distro.
[14:10:21] mycosys: lol yup
[14:10:29] Tim_____: Okay EvilGuru, I literally just rescanned to no avail but nuking transports could be meaningful....
[14:10:31] mycosys: or at least do some bloody research
[14:10:50] EvilGuru: the best thing to happen to Linux is Windows XP
[14:10:58] mycosys: LOL
[14:11:11] EvilGuru: it is so nice and outdated, yet systems still have to be able to boot and run its installer
[14:11:11] mycosys: the best thing to happen to linux is the web
[14:11:25] hashbang: EvilGuru: I'd say W95; ISA hardware basically died, and memory and CPU got a hell of a lot cheaper virtually overnight.

[14:13:13] Tim_____: @EvilGuru – nube clarification – by nuking transports you mean, basically, removing video sources and input connections and starting again?
[14:13:13] mycosys: no hasbang – i mean the web – hypertext
[14:13:33] EvilGuru: Tim_____: No, in the channel scan pane there is a transports button
[14:13:46] EvilGuru: go there and just delete all of the transports that are listed
[14:14:27] mycosys: something windows was mind bogglingly bad at, and unix hadnt already cornered the market on, hashbang
[14:14:31] hashbang: mycosys: Solaris on Sun kit, and Irix on SGI kit was serving the majority of real live web pages for ages. But SGI went boom, and Sun didn't keep up and were expensive.
[14:15:17] mycosys: irix and sun and mac servers were always $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
[14:15:41] hashbang: mycosys: (initially I thought you were meaning that it took the web for Linux to be developed, though, which ignores the massive role News had in the early days)
[14:15:56] mycosys: nah – just it gave it a massive opening
[14:16:15] hashbang: mycosys: extensively used for anyone serious until 2000-ish, though.
[14:16:16] mycosys: and a bucketload of development incentive
[14:16:57] mycosys: hard for a fidonet user to neglect usenet lol
[14:17:02] hashbang: mycosys: I still find it kinda incredible that banks and stock exchanges have switched to Linux for a lot of their backend systems.
[14:17:23] mycosys: i dont
[14:17:34] mycosys: secure is the word there
[14:17:50] hashbang: from Solaris, I mean

[14:18:04] hashbang: hmmm
[14:18:08] EvilGuru: mycosys: Myth
[14:19:18] mycosys: how do you figure EvilGuru
[14:19:23] hashbang: mycosys: it's not just security, but reliability and dependability, and I've found it's very hard to get anyone to own those kinds of bugs and fix them on an increasing number of projects, these days.
[14:19:30] EvilGuru: it is near impossible to audit code
[14:19:34] clever: just look at myth, you can packet sniff the mysql name/pw if anybody uses upnp to auto-configure! :P
[14:19:52] mycosys: when there are prizes and ego at stake for finding holes – people find em
[14:20:02] EvilGuru: mycosys: they fuzz
[14:20:19] mycosys: u mean fudge?
[14:20:23] EvilGuru: no, fuzz
[14:20:26] clever: hashbang: yeah, open source does help with that, i was using the eeepc kernel module to play with the fan speeds, and discovered i could Oops the kernel by reading a 'simple' file
[14:20:39] EvilGuru: take a function, pass junk arguments to it, see if you can get it to crash
[14:20:50] clever: hashbang: turns out it wasnt checking if the return value was an error (negative) or a size (pos) and tried to index an array
[14:20:50] EvilGuru: then you know something is awry and can go and look at it
[14:21:28] hashbang: I've got bugs filed all over the shop that have been opened for years, and no-one's even looked at 'em.
[14:21:39] hashbang: and Google's web services are no better.
[14:21:59] clever: hashbang: the kernel module i mentioned is only on version 0.2, its stil pretty beta-ish
[14:22:27] hashbang: so the TL;DR is 'if you want something fixed, fix it yourself, but don't expect anyone to even acknowledge your patch, let alone incorporate it into upstream so you don't have to do it all over in 6 months time'

[14:24:47] EvilGuru: anyone know of the top of their heads what the limit on DVB tuners on a system is?
[14:25:06] EvilGuru: as I've got four but will probably add a fifth soon and can't remember if the limit is 4 or 8 by default
[14:26:11] justinh: 8 I think
[14:26:28] justinh: the limit in mythtv has been removed IIRC
[14:26:47] justinh: it used to have an arbitrary limit but that was taken out a long time ago
[14:27:19] justinh: but the more tuners you have it'll have an impact on scheduling time ;)
[14:28:22] justinh: not funny. I finally got printing to work – it does 6 of the 12 pages.. and ran out of toner
[14:30:50] EvilGuru: the plan is to get a 290e, reformat the system with a beta of mythbunuth 11.10, and get some DVB-T2
[14:30:59] EvilGuru: then if that works I can ditch the Nova-T
[14:31:44] justinh: then if that works, it won't work with any other DVB tuner anyway :P

[14:32:26] EvilGuru: I suspect it will need to be on its own source due to the extra multiplex
[14:33:29] justinh: what extra multiplex? you get 5 SD muxes & one HD, tops
[14:33:32] justinh: ;)
[14:33:49] justinh: oh and apparently they can either do T2 or T..
[14:34:06] justinh: driver is still very new
[14:34:13] Tim_____: Thanks for your help, guys. Have deleted all transports and rescanned channels but mythtv still doesn't want to utilise both cards at once. Will pastebin the end of my backend log.
[14:34:21] EvilGuru: justinh: I thought there were 6 SD?
[14:34:34] justinh: EvilGuru: there *are* 6 SD muxes before analogue is switched off
[14:34:49] Tim_____: Notable is this line, which appeared when I tried to playback tv while recording on another channel: 2011-08–24 00:32:06.798 RecBase(6:/dev/dvb/adapter1/frontend0): GetKeyframePositions(37,9223372036854775807,#0) out of 4
[14:34:53] EvilGuru: Yeah, so I guess 6 SD + 1 T2 HD
[14:34:54] justinh: then they switch analogue off & rejig you around a bit.. and ultimately cut you down to 5 SD muxes
[14:35:17] justinh: so switching analogue off isn't to provide HDTV
[14:35:27] EvilGuru: I'll be okay if it is just T2 as I've got three DVB-T tuners already
[14:35:45] justinh: if you got that impression from anywhere, it's only from the fact they put the T2 mux up at or after switchover
[14:36:14] Tim_____: http://pastebin.com/gL8qPr5E
[14:37:22] justinh: Tim_____: not enough log
[14:38:16] justinh: oh and "2011-08–24 00:32:04.275 ChannelBase(6): IsTunable(DVBInput,7) Channel is valid, but tuner is busy on different multiplex (22 != 25)" doesn't look great
[14:38:50] EvilGuru: justinh: http://www.ukfree.tv/txdetail.php?a=TQ339712 6 DVB-T, 1 DVB-T2 and PAL, at least until the switchover
[14:39:09] EvilGuru: when yeah they'll cut as down again
[14:39:11] justinh: EvilGuru: BS. after switchover FIVE SDTV muxes & one dvb-t2
[14:39:30] justinh: because in the interim one mux will be almost a carbon copy of the other :)
[14:40:38] justinh: oh.. 'local'
[14:40:41] justinh: heh I forgot about that
[14:41:04] justinh: we have 6 SDTV muxes here – I always forget because it isn't carrying anything
[14:41:27] justinh: the 6th one is run by MENMedia... and is all blank
[14:42:07] justinh: not that everywhere will be lucky enough to get a 'local' mux of course
[14:42:13] Tim_____: <Evilguru> sorry.... Went over the 500kb limit and then went too far the other way! http://pastebin.com/R5TD5fvx

[14:52:27] justinh: how much of freeview is usable? 15%?
[14:54:32] EvilGuru: ditch the +1 channels and it will be a bit better
[14:55:28] justinh: that isn't how they play though
[14:55:34] justinh: they won't get rid of anything

[15:41:34] EvilGuru: skd5aner: Would the myth protocol be extended to send queries to backends?
[15:41:48] EvilGuru: Seeker`: Junk, road wars, brainiac, reality stuff
[15:42:13] skd5aner: EvilGuru: I don't know – but the bindings would still be there
[15:42:29] skd5aner: EvilGuru: perhaps the devs will consider a "SQL" binding :)
[15:42:51] EvilGuru: I'm just wondering how frontends would find out listings etc
[15:43:04] EvilGuru: As currently I presume they make SQL queries to the DB server directly
[15:43:23] skd5aner: EvilGuru: the same way they do today? It'll still use SQL I would presume, but it will all be embedded
[15:43:34] EvilGuru: Oh, I see
[15:43:38] skd5aner: there will just be no external access to the DB
[15:43:53] EvilGuru: As long as it can be backed up that's fine with me
[15:44:06] skd5aner: the devs have been investigating using embedded mysql
[15:44:15] EvilGuru: just need to break out libeatmydata
[15:44:20] skd5aner: EvilGuru: I'm sure sphery will be on top of that (backing up)

[15:45:40] skd5aner: yea, I do too... lol
[15:45:50] EvilGuru: easier to set the xmltvid's then using the backend UI
[15:46:04] skd5aner: I have a join query I created to copy over XMLTVIDs and channel icons anytime I rescan or blow away my channels
[15:46:10] Seeker`: I use mythweb for xmltvids

[15:46:41] EvilGuru: never considered using mythweb for that

[15:52:19] hashbang: sphery: not if you have a SQL script that does it.
[15:52:20] stuartm: sphery: mythweb's channel editor doesn't work

[15:53:03] sphery: works for me... I think your PHP or apache isn't properly configured and needs more memory or larger post size allowed
[15:53:14] stuartm: it's been broken for a long time with large numbers of channels (the POST request is too large for a default php/apache config)
[15:53:16] sphery: that said, the mythweb channel editor isn't ideal
[15:53:27] sphery: stuartm: yeah, the /default/... you can change that, you know
[15:53:34] stuartm: right, but most users won't
[15:53:35] hashbang: sphery: type-type-type-click-click-click-wait-wait-wait-repeat-repeat-repeat still tiresome, though.
[15:53:39] stuartm: and won't know how to
[15:54:00] hashbang: sphery: also, if it becomes impossible to edit channels through SQL, then the tuner better JFW.
[15:54:05] sphery: hashbang: you can update every single xmltvid at once
[15:54:09] sphery: then submit once
[15:54:26] sphery: I have no clue what's going on this week, but everything I say results in people arguing with me
[15:54:32] hashbang: sphery: still got to type the xmltvids, and tab or click on the fields to make them active, though.
[15:54:38] sphery: (everything I say about mythtv, that is)
[15:54:56] hashbang: sphery: this isn't arguing. :-)
[15:54:58] dekarl: is that _uk_rt? there's scripts that will happily fill in the xmltvids for Freeview (according to that site anyway) http://parker1.co.uk/mythtv_id.php
[15:55:03] sphery: hashbang: um, how else would you input values without actually providing those values
[15:55:20] skd5aner: stuartm: but, depending on the number of channels, it might not be broken
[15:55:30] skd5aner: for me it would be, but I've updated the defaults a long time ago
[15:55:33] skd5aner: works well :)
[15:55:41] sphery: or depending on whether the packager did their job and properly configured the php/apache for the user
[15:55:52] sphery: anyway, it's not ideal
[15:56:03] sphery: eventually we'll have a real channel editor via backend http
[15:56:04] hashbang: sphery: see the script that dekarl just linked to. :-)
[15:56:18] sphery: but for now it's /much/ better than direct db editing
[15:56:19] stuartm: skd5aner: it choked even on the limited number of channels Freeview in the UK offers, so the likelihood of it being broken for new users is pretty high
[15:56:37] stuartm: you can forget about satellite etc
[15:56:42] skd5aner: sphery: I've got a query that anytime I have to rescan my digital channels, it can take data from a backup channels table and bring in the icon path, hidden, xmltvid, channum/name, etc
[15:56:51] sphery: hashbang: yeah, now all we need to do is get that type of thing officially supported by xmltv and then we can integrate that functionality into mythtv
[15:57:22] skd5aner: didn't iamlindoro create a new channel editor in the html setup stuff?
[15:57:24] sphery: which people have been talking about for years and yet there's still nothing out there but a few random scripts and nothing official
[15:57:31] skd5aner: I thought I recall seeing a lot of commits related to that
[15:57:36] sphery: skd5aner: yes, but the new html setup isn't done
[15:57:40] dekarl: can services.mythtv.org be queried for onid, sid, name, xmltvid that got submitted? (one list one time to verify some ids)
[15:57:51] sphery: that's what I meant by, "eventually we'll have a real channel editor via backend http"
[15:57:56] skd5aner: yea, just sayig – the works alreayd there :)
[15:58:31] dekarl: hmm, s/ids/ideas/ ;)
[15:58:33] stuartm: dekarl: not currently, not via a public API but the info is in the database
[15:58:34] sphery: chances are--unless someone decides to finish the hard parts that are left--the http setup will be disabled in 0.25
[15:58:46] skd5aner: gotta run
[15:59:22] dekarl: stuartm: let me put it another way. Can I get a one time export as cvs, xml or similar? count (*), group by onid, sid, name, xmltvid something like that
[15:59:26] stuartm: or is it ... maybe not, we don't store xmltvid info alongside dvb stuff, so we'd need to change that
[15:59:29] Seeker`: editing the XMLTVIDs worked for me on freeview UK channels without having to change anything with apache or php with a fresh mythbuntu install
[16:00:28] dekarl: I'd rather not go and collect channel scans from all over the dvb world to look at how unique onid:sid really is :)
[16:00:31] stuartm: dekarl: as I just noted, we store xmltvid + name and nid + tid + sid + name but not the two together
[16:01:05] dekarl: hmm, the second one would do for me, don't know if BenB has use for the first one...
[16:01:16] stuartm: dekarl: they are unique as I think it's possible to get, there are some bogus values e.g. 1:1:6 – but those are easy to ignore

[16:02:09] stuartm: dekarl: I'd have to check
[16:02:24] dekarl: basically that is what I want to see in the data set
[16:02:53] stuartm: dekarl: and remember that some submissions might be under an older name for the same serviceid/channel
[16:03:17] Seeker`: some freeview channels change names more often than people change socks
[16:03:26] stuartm: several providers also fail to get a channel a new sid when they launch in the space previously used by someone else

[16:44:10] wagnerrp: EvilGuru: (proxying mysql queries) it has been discussed in the past, and no real conclusion has been made
[16:44:59] wagnerrp: i think the general consensus is that adding queries into the protocol so that they could be used by remote clients would act as a crutch that would prevent all those methods from being converted to proper protocol commands
[16:45:35] wagnerrp: and that for stuff like plugins, we want to make mythbackend accept modules, and those modules would then offer whatever database access needs the frontend modules had

[16:52:10] wagnerrp: stuff will slowly be migrated over to the protocol, or maybe the mythxml stuff

[16:52:48] wagnerrp: probably one release will involve support for both
[16:53:16] wagnerrp: so as part of the 'schema update', mythbackend downloads the database from the server, and stores it internally

[17:44:03] Perdignus: wagnerrp: I've never created a backtrace, but I think I have debug enabled now and installed gdb
[17:44:31] Perdignus: would "gdb mythbackend" suffice?
[17:44:47] wagnerrp: if you dont already have a core dump to work off of
[17:46:32] Perdignus: I'm not sure I've got it right, I'm not seeing a report file in this --> http://pastebin.com/z2bAVwsu

[17:47:38] wagnerrp: that core file can be loaded up in gdb against the application that generated it to make the backtrace
[17:47:49] wagnerrp: otherwise, just run the application from within gdb
[17:48:01] wagnerrp: and when it segfaults, then you will have access to the information you need

[17:54:42] wagnerrp: sphery: i know we are generally adverse to inserting arbitrary files as recordings
[17:55:17] wagnerrp: but what about a program that just tries to match up recordings with whatever guide data you have on hand?
[17:55:40] wagnerrp: i think that was one of the capabilities of the former lost_recordings_inserter application
[17:56:26] sphery: I'm averse to users directly editing the db and to out-of-date, bitrotting programs
[17:57:00] sphery: i.e. the break_my_database.pl script--or was it called myth.rebuild_database.pl (as obviously, it's rebuilding a database)

[17:57:24] sphery: if you want to create a python script to insert it, feel free
[17:57:36] sphery: I will have the code in mythtv as part of the new schema
[17:57:48] wagnerrp: new schema for... 0.26?
[17:57:57] sphery: so it's whether you want to spend time writing and maintaining the script in the meantime
[17:58:05] sphery: new schema for when it's ready :)
[17:58:25] wagnerrp: are you talking about the recordedfile stuff?
[17:59:36] sphery: just doesn't make a lot of sense to do it with the current schema since the biggest problem with the bitrotting scripts was that they didn't properly insert a lot of recording-specific data that doesn't necessarily make sense if you don't have the info that mythtv has when it records it and that caused problems in the db such as what stua rtm was seeing with "MythWeb's total size is broken" and such
[18:00:00] sphery: so trying to fake the recording info doesn't make a lot of sense to me
[18:00:17] sphery: when I'd rather spend my time working on the recordedfile schema stuff, where I won't have to fake any recording info
[18:00:32] sphery: since we'll have a proper media description--for recordings and non-recordings both
[18:00:37] sphery: and, yeah, recordedfile
[18:00:42] wagnerrp: im just talking about stuff that we can find guide data for, either in program or oldprogram
[18:00:57] sphery: right
[18:01:02] sphery: but the metadata isn't the problem
[18:01:10] sphery: the problem is all the other recorded-specific data
[18:01:13] sphery: that you have to fake
[18:01:28] wagnerrp: right, its the filesize, seektable, etc...
[18:01:30] sphery: and have to keep in sync with what all parts of mythtv expect

[18:01:44] wagnerrp: along with various flags in recordedmarkup
[18:02:12] sphery: well, we have programs to regenerate seektable (and maybe markup)
[18:02:36] wagnerrp: but they do have to be called
[18:02:41] sphery: yeah
[18:02:47] wagnerrp: but now at least seektable can be run through the jobqueue
[18:02:52] sphery: and the record won't have its associated recordedprogram data
[18:03:04] sphery: and its credits, genre, etc. will be borked
[18:03:04] wagnerrp: sure it will, duplicated from the program entry
[18:03:11] sphery: there is no program entry
[18:03:16] sphery: because it was deleted after 10days
[18:03:32] wagnerrp: thats what im saying, it would only be set up to work with that stuff
[18:03:37] sphery: we have oldrecorded in some cases, but not recordedprogram
[18:03:42] wagnerrp: stuff where you were doing proper database backups, once a week or so
[18:03:48] wagnerrp: but youve lost all the recordings for that week
[18:04:32] wagnerrp: i was intending it as a utility to help those people who were following good practicies
[18:04:41] sphery: if we do it, whether we do it for recent or old recordings doesn't matter much to me
[18:05:19] wagnerrp: well the only time you would have the data you would need for recovery would be recent stuff
[18:05:37] sphery: all I care about is that it doesn't break people's databases, that people aren't directly editing the db (and manually breaking their dbs), and that the program/script is kept up to date and working until the functionality is properly placed in mythtv
[18:05:38] wagnerrp: otherwise, youre going to be asking the user what the title/subtitle/etc are interactively
[18:05:41] wagnerrp: which is just stupid
[18:05:52] sphery: well, that's what users seem to want
[18:05:56] wagnerrp: (which is what the old script did IIRC)
[18:06:30] sphery: but I can't call it stupid just because I wouldn't do it--I was explicitly told to stop doing that on the list
[18:06:43] sphery: (even though I never said such)
[18:07:12] wagnerrp: well if youre going to go through a program that would interactively ask you what each effectively randomly named file is, one by one
[18:07:20] mycosys: earthquake in virginia is felt in washington – pentagon being evacuate :S
[18:07:22] wagnerrp: youre going to have to open up each of those files to tell what they are one by one
[18:07:25] sphery: anyway, really all I care about are data integrity, no direct editing of the db, and script works as long as it's needed--meaning until we finally have the functionality in mythtv proper
[18:07:40] wagnerrp: in which case, you may as well just rename it, stuff it in mythvideo, and let the metadata stuff do its thing

[18:08:40] sphery: that's my own opinion, but it seems that I'm wrong because users want to stick it in mythtv watch recordings
[18:08:59] sphery: because they have to keep it all together and--gracious no, I can't move the rest of the series to mythvideo
[18:09:15] sphery: and the user is always right, right?
[18:09:31] sphery: sorry, I woke up on the wrong side of a thread this morning and my attitude hasn't improved at all :)

[18:12:23] mycosys: weird hey
[18:12:50] sphery: yeah, wonder if it was damaged or if they think it's unstable/prone to collapse in an earthquake/...
[18:13:12] sphery: seems they also evac'ed the capitol
[18:15:56] wagnerrp: just 25 minutes ago
[18:15:59] wagnerrp: yeah, i felt nothing
[18:19:00] mycosys: wow
[18:20:18] sphery: wagnerrp: anyway, on the script to add recordings back to the recorded table, feel free to do it, but I think users will see the "up to 10 days since recording" (or even up to 10 days since recording or if you still have a valid oldrecorded entry from having recorded the same episode in the past) as an arbitrary way of purposefully crippling the script and will ask for a return of the features of the script that I tried to remove from the ...
[18:20:24] sphery: ... wiki because it was corrupting databases (but that was put back up there "because the functionality isn't in mythtv yet")

[18:22:19] sphery: or if you want to make a current script that doesn't use the old, legacy hacks that the myth.rebuild_database.pl script used (i.e. has proper support for proper bindings (python) and getting db information and such)

[19:20:24] sphery: just saying I have no clue what their terms are like, so no idea if using it to use the netflix app on a desktop computer would be a violation

[20:06:47] JEDIDIAH__: They use more space than a DVD copy would and clearly are of inferior quality.
[20:07:09] K0rny: JEDIDIAH__, that assumes I have the dvd on hand :/
[20:07:28] JEDIDIAH__: If you do, then you can make the comparison.
[20:08:14] JEDIDIAH__: ...still, these days you are probably better off (just in terms of bother) to use more disks.
[20:08:24] K0rny: Well first things first is there a way using the job que to automatically cut commercials after the recording is say 3 days old?
[20:09:17] JEDIDIAH__: even that's probably more trouble than it's worth. lots of work for files that will be quickly deleted.
[20:09:30] K0rny: eh? I'm not deleting them
[20:09:43] justinh: oh dear
[20:09:51] justinh: well you ain't gonna be keeping everything you ever record

[20:10:21] K0rny: I like to obtain full seasons >:), I'm a tv hoarder :/
[20:10:28] K0rny: I'm only running 12 TB right now though
[20:10:52] justinh: just transcode it to 320x180 at 16Kbps then
[20:10:58] K0rny: It was worse when I cable however, which is where the majority of my collection is from
[20:10:59] JEDIDIAH__: stuff gets mutilated on TV. makes it less attractive for hoarding purposes.
[20:11:34] K0rny: I do some archiving of my favorite shows via dvd, mainly mythbusters, dirty jobs ect
[20:13:04] K0rny: Part of the reason I'm avoiding an HDprime is I think with 3 or 6 more tuners I'd have some serious space issues :/

[20:30:52] sphery: heh, yeah, that's what it's called
[20:31:16] justinh: would look fine once you run it through the CSI interpolator rescaler engine mythtv 0.26 is gonna have

[20:36:27] wagnerrp: place shifter?
[20:36:28] sphery: that's old fashioned software--possibly as a service, but not really a cloud thing
[20:36:41] justinh: wagnerrp: record in one place, watch in another via the interwebs
[20:36:41] wagnerrp: as in, record on one box, play back on another?
[20:36:56] K0rny: but adjust for network bandwidth and auto transcodes
[20:36:59] ** justinh mutters something about mythweb & flash playback **
[20:37:03] wagnerrp: mythtv can do both, although the latter is a bit crude
[20:37:44] justinh: well, sagetv went to hell didn't they?
[20:37:45] K0rny: I'm still figuring mythtv out only been using it for 2 months now, so still learning, but I will look into that

[20:38:18] wagnerrp: google is hell?
[20:38:43] justinh: great news for the people who owned Sage... less good for their customers
[20:38:50] sphery: yay, let's just take my wonderful high-definition recording at full bitrate and resolution, then transcode it on the fly (so, inefficiently allocating bandwidth) to a tiny bitrate, capable of being uploaded on my home's 1Mbps upstream link while maintaining QoS, which will mean decreasing resolution sufficiently to handle the reduced bitrate...
[20:38:51] K0rny: lol I don't mind that they got bought out, its the fact they closed show immeidately and screwed the customers
[20:39:05] sphery: and then I can watch grainy, terrible quality video somewhere else
[20:39:19] justinh: sphery: you forgot *blocky*
[20:39:19] K0rny: sphery, better then nothing if you're stuck at your parents >:)

[20:42:27] justinh: it's a face, and it's saying MEH
[20:42:42] sphery: justinh: heh, so looking up to see the actual resolution numbers for CIF, I found: http://www.securitycameraking.com/securityinf . . . -resolution/ , which says, "As you can see, the 4CIF image is much larger. It will be much easier to capture details from the 4 CIF resolution image, than from the CIF resolution image." But, if you look at the 4CIF image, it's blurry so either their Elite Series DVR ...
[20:42:49] sphery: ... is using inappropriate bitrate for it or their cam is upscaling the CIF res image to 4CIF or ???
[20:43:14] sphery: so many people who think that higher resolution always means higher quality
[20:43:24] justinh: AITCH DEE!
[20:43:28] justinh: or 'digital'
[20:43:32] sphery: yeah
[20:43:47] justinh: "in full digital quality". WTH does that mean?
[20:43:49] sphery: now, resolution in a vacuum...
[20:44:23] justinh: sphery: looking at that site, the camera is whack
[20:44:37] justinh: so it wouldn't matter what res they record at :P
[20:44:57] sphery: yeah, it seems the CIF image actually has better detail than the 4CIF
[20:45:11] justinh: as much as I hate the stuff the company I work for makes... it's unbelievably better than a lot of our competitors
[20:45:19] sphery: maybe they forgot to turn on the CSI image enhancement algo
[20:45:27] sphery: heh
[20:45:44] justinh: ahh fond memories of the smoking room at the old place & the chats with customer service techs
[20:46:01] sphery: I've never done security camera stuff, so I don't have a point of reference, but I think I'd take the CIF resolution image over the 4CIF on that page any day
[20:46:04] justinh: one guy phones up wanting to know the weight of a DVR... "and when the hard disk is full?"
[20:46:13] sphery: hehe
[20:46:20] wagnerrp: sphery: im wondering why the 4CIF image isnt four times larger than the CIF image
[20:46:55] wagnerrp: and you are right, the CIF image does look significantly crisper
[20:47:33] sphery: ahhh, the guy on who made the webpage has the browser scaling it
[20:47:36] sphery: http://www.securitycameraking.com/securityinf . . . 132511D1.BMP
[20:47:40] justinh: all the cheapo Asian boxes that flooded the market are taking (groups of) 4 SDTV cameras, putting each in a quadrant & recording that SDTV frame. to get it fullscreen on playback they zoom in. That's about CIF
[20:47:47] sphery: still not sharp, though
[20:47:58] wagnerrp: yeah, its still garbage
[20:48:10] wagnerrp: i wonder if the camera itself wasnt designed for 4CIF
[20:48:23] justinh: wonder if anybody who left the company this month is gonna shop it to the FSF
[20:48:50] sphery: yeah, almost looks like it's a CIF camera but has an option for "upscaling" to 4CIF

[20:50:41] justinh: so there's a panel in a building they can't fit 16 coaxes through.. so they covert each coax to twisted pair with a crappy balun (which doesn't isolate all the grounds)... then go through the panel & back to coax again via another balun set.. and wonder where all the video has gone because of the god-awful ground loop problem

[21:30:06] Gibby: how does one fix this: If dmesg only shows "registered new interface driver hdpvr" and no /dev/video# device has been created, you probably have a newer device than your kernel module supports.
[21:30:51] sphery: upgrade the kernel?
[21:31:05] Gibby: hmm i am on 2.6.32.44
[21:31:13] sphery: or add support for your new device if it's not supported by current kernels?
[21:31:15] Gibby: shoujld be plenty new enough
[21:31:24] Gibby: how do i add the support :?
[21:31:27] Gibby: compile?
[21:31:49] sphery: it's likely looking for some device id that's not yet listed
[21:32:01] sphery: might even be able to get support by updating usb ids?

[21:33:02] Gibby: don't have that... this in on sl6.1
[21:34:03] sphery: but if you want real answers instead of guesses, you'll likely have to give someone who actually knows HD-PVR stuff information about which specific device you have

[21:36:32] NickHu: Linux kernel hit a big 3.0 y'know
[21:36:34] NickHu: Because a specific portion of linux users wanted to be even more elitist fags

[21:37:53] NickHu: CentOS is a joke

[21:38:16] mikeishooligan: Hi OK so I seem to have made some progress, I launched mythtv-setup from mythbuntu-control-centre and it worked, mythbackend is up and running (mythweb now connects to it). However, now I can't launch mythfrontend. It seems to launch OK but the window never appears.
[21:38:24] wagnerrp: it is specifically intended to be binary compatible with rhel
[21:38:26] sphery: a joke meaning it's not *buntu or a joke meaning CentOS is provably worse than RHEL and/or Scientific Linux?
[21:38:34] wagnerrp: which is why it took them so much longer to put out than SL
[21:38:52] wagnerrp: while SL uses the same code base, it is not so stringently compiled to conform to RHEL

[22:21:15] justinh: oh WTH.. the backend deadlocked AGAIN
[22:21:58] justinh: or some part of it did
[22:22:06] justinh: it's still making log entries
[22:23:06] justinh: nothing going on on port 6544 though
[22:23:25] sphery: so, seems a couple people had the "no frontend window" problem... ICM^ was last (on Aug 10), but can't be the one I remember because I iddn't participate in that discussion.
[22:23:37] sphery: not that it's useful, now, since mikeishooligan left
[22:24:18] justinh: this time it wasn't even recording AFAICT
[22:24:46] justinh: mythweb is still (kinda) working.. but boy is it SLOW
[22:25:18] justinh: nah nothing good in the log
[22:26:34] justinh: no, that was cos it was too busy being deadlocked. it'd started recording family guy
[22:26:41] justinh: MythTaste strikes again
[22:26:51] sphery: and jrr the day after (Aug 11)
[22:27:13] justinh: oh and Wilfred was wot done it
[22:27:17] justinh: 0GB

[22:28:58] justinh: wha? how can there have been a 0GB recording & no log entry?
[22:29:09] justinh: that isn't gonna be helping anyone debug this
[22:29:28] sphery: and in both cases, it was improper DB configuration--either bad mysql.txt/config.xml or forgetting to do grants
[22:29:37] sphery: so, mikeishooligan ^^^
[22:29:53] Gibby: question... if you had 1 box... amd II x6... and 16GB of ram...dual 1G nics and you wanted the following: mythbackend with 2 pvr-150', 2 hd-pvrs and a hd dual homerun, pxe booting for frontends, and virtual servers for lab and playing around.... what would you?

[22:35:06] justinh: sphery: yeah a show was 'recorded' – i.e. I saw a 0B file in 'watch recordings' and yet there was no log entry for it
[22:35:19] justinh: something is very very broken there somehow
[22:38:25] NickHu: justinh: I get that when my recordings fail
[22:40:09] justinh: this thing really has to get nailed
[22:41:21] justinh: NickHu: you say that very matter of fact-ly
[22:42:20] justinh: I can't be doing with a DVR that sometimes doesn't record... cos what's the point?
[22:42:45] justinh: gotta try getting off these packages & see if there's something can be done
[22:43:47] justinh: oh wait... what was I doing at 10,30pm when the failed recording happened? A time search. Heavy DB access
[22:44:29] justinh: and there was another failed one at 9.43am today
[22:44:47] justinh: but the db load should've been light then.. if any load at all
[22:44:51] Seeker`: I've had a couple fail after 5–10 mins recording today
[22:45:25] justinh: maybe the mysql ubuntu is shipping just isn't up to it
[22:46:50] sphery: fwiw, I have heard users of a certain distro's mysqld tell me that actions which complete in seconds on my machine complete in many minutes on their similarly-spec'ed machine
[22:47:21] sphery: I don't have a clue how that could be since the distro seems to be using a proper my.cnf
[22:48:08] Seeker`: compilation options?
[22:48:16] justinh: a certain distro?
[22:48:21] justinh: you mean *buntu?
[22:49:09] justinh: the time search stuff was taking *ages* – way too long for what.. less than 40 channels & 14 days' worth of data
[22:49:33] Seeker`: sphery: what distro do you use?
[22:49:51] sphery: well, mine is compiled with --enable-assembler, but nothing else "fancy"
[22:50:21] sphery: it's possible that the slow operations are slow string operations and *buntu is compiling without assembly...
[22:50:33] sphery: other than that, though, mine is as plain vanilla as you can get
[22:50:45] sphery: even having a plain vanilly my.cnf from their medium example
[22:50:55] justinh: is it possible to find out what it's compiled with?

[22:55:23] Seeker`: sphery: can you put your my.cnf somewhere?

[22:56:12] justinh: Seeker`: tried a new .cnf. hasn't helped
[22:56:19] Seeker`: justinh: ah, ok
[22:56:47] sphery: Seeker`: http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~mysql/mysql-serv . . . edium.cnf.sh , but with @ variables replaced with appropriate values for my system
[22:56:51] sphery: like I said vanilla :)
[22:57:04] sphery: that's the mysql example "medium" configuration
[22:57:14] justinh: so it must be going deeper than that
[22:57:16] sphery: and, yeah, justinh tried replacing his with that one
[22:57:21] MaverickTech (MaverickTech!~MaverickT@131.203.137.143) has joined #mythtv-users
[22:57:35] justinh: presumably sphery's --enable-assembler option must fair speed things up
[22:57:46] sphery: note also that there are differences between the 5.1 and 5.5 and 5.0 versions of my-medium.cnf
[22:57:51] MavT (MavT!~MaverickT@131.203.137.143) has quit (Ping timeout: 272 seconds)
[22:57:58] justinh: but if this was a *buntu issue surely there'd be a heck of a lot more people noticing this
[22:58:04] sphery: I was trying to find if there's an easy way to check if it used assembly
[22:58:48] sphery: heh, there /should/ be, but I don't know if I'd go so far as to say there /would/ be
[22:59:02] Seeker`: justinh: download the source package seems to be the way to find it
[22:59:17] sphery: you don't miss what you've never known... if it's always been bad performance for people using the distro...
[23:00:07] Seeker`: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1189028
[23:00:49] justinh: ahh
[23:01:14] sphery: ah, yeah, that would work--see what configure args their script passes when it builds the package.
[23:01:41] sphery: I forgot all that would be in the debian dirs
[23:02:31] justinh: yeah they use assembler
[23:02:56] sphery: yeah, then nothing else in my configure line would have any effect on speed

[23:04:33] justinh: I could pop it in my dropbox I guess
[23:04:38] Seeker`: nah, don't worry about it
[23:04:41] sphery: maybe it's because they still use /var/lib dir for a data directory instead of following the FHS...  ;)
