[00:13:47] Twiggy2cents: Anybody want to buy a brand new ATI TV Wonder HD 600 PCI card? :)
[00:14:12] wagnerrp: does it work on freebsd?
[00:15:00] Twiggy2cents: http://linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/ATI/AMD_TV_Wonder_600_PCI
[00:15:05] Twiggy2cents: I would assume not
[00:15:20] notlistening: try the windows rooms ;)
[00:15:23] wagnerrp: then what good is it?!?!?
[00:15:34] Twiggy2cents: Exactly
[00:15:49] Twiggy2cents: I got anxious and though because my ati 600 USB worked that this would too
[00:15:53] Twiggy2cents: Now I need to sell it

[00:17:41] mattwj2002: hi everyone
[00:20:16] notlistening: My myth setup is soo flacky
[00:20:51] notlistening: is it possible that my homerun is not playing nicely?
[00:23:03] iamlindoro: anything is possible with only one line of log to go on
[00:23:16] iamlindoro: C:\>
[00:23:22] iamlindoro: Is it possible my C drive is full??!?!?!
[00:24:22] G: notlistening: yeah, can you provide more context
[00:24:33] kormoc: "SignalMonitor: channel change failed any ideas?" doesn't exist in our code base. I have no idea where it came from
[00:25:14] G: (fwiw, I had 3 recordings via my HDHomeRun go hay-wire the other day for no reason, but it resolved itself, and it's the first failed recordings since I set it up in April, so I'm not too worried)
[00:25:30] notlistening: G, let me build up some solid information. I am using thing mythbuntu repos should they be stable enough?
[00:25:58] G: no idea, I only use the frontend from mythbuntu
[00:26:18] notlistening: kormoc: its in your log
[00:26:33] kormoc: I doubt that
[00:26:49] iamlindoro: He's pointing out the fact that you muddled your log and your question together
[00:27:00] G: notlistening: btw, when I said context, I really meant: post more log context
[00:27:21] G: it should be from the Tuner w/ a similar actual mythtv error somewhere near
[00:27:33] G: s/should/could
[00:29:14] notlistening: G: it killed the machine so just restarting
[00:40:12] wagnerrp: jya: is jack audio still expected to work in mythtv?

[01:11:49] iamlindoro: So looks like they'll be redoing all the SFX for the Star Trek TNG Blu-rays
[01:11:57] iamlindoro: Which means the discs will cost a fortune
[01:15:51] wagnerrp: speaking of remakes... got Ico/Shadow of the Colossus in the mail
[01:16:35] iamlindoro: ooh neat
[01:16:39] iamlindoro: Let me know how it looks
[01:17:40] wagnerrp: im a bit concerned about how it will show up in the menu
[01:18:01] wagnerrp: im hoping it will just show two games on the XMB
[01:18:16] wagnerrp: rather than have some selection menu inside the game
[01:18:21] wagnerrp: (theyre on the same disc)

[01:22:23] clydefrog: Hello
[01:23:32] clydefrog: Having issues with hauppauge hdpvr and myth tv
[01:23:40] clydefrog: no signal / no lock
[01:24:07] clydefrog: tested the device with mplayer and it worked, but still nothing within mythtv

[01:25:52] clydefrog: I should also note that this is a testing machine. about 5 years old, dell dimension 2400, celeron proc and a low, low end video card. Would that prevent mythtv from working?
[01:26:05] notlistening (notlistening!~tom@94-195-105-95.zone9.bethere.co.uk) has quit (Quit: Leaving)
[01:26:08] wagnerrp: it would prevent mythtv from playing the content
[01:26:11] wagnerrp: but recording should be fine
[01:26:25] clydefrog: getting 0 byte recordings
[01:27:23] iamlindoro: Then it's a misconfiguration
[01:27:31] iamlindoro: Would need complete backend logs to know what
[01:27:46] clydefrog: one moment
[01:28:20] wagnerrp: yikes, 60GB free
[01:28:22] iamlindoro: The most common are failing to set a channel changing script, and putting something in the "preset tuner to channel" field, even though the device has no tuner
[01:28:25] wagnerrp: going to start losing recordings here soon
[01:30:40] clydefrog: i spoke with +wagnerrp last and I cleared the "preset tuner to channel" field but still having an issue. still waiting on the backend logs.
[01:31:02] clydefrog: where is the channel script defined within the setup?
[01:31:15] iamlindoro: Input connections
[01:31:24] wagnerrp: if you have no script to use currently
[01:31:29] wagnerrp: you can fake it with /bin/true
[01:33:24] clydefrog: here are the backlogs http://pastebin.com/W9Zx7bcE
[01:33:34] clydefrog: *backend logs
[01:34:14] wagnerrp: have you restarted the backend since changing the 'preset tuner' field?
[01:34:20] wagnerrp: its showing the same error as before
[01:34:39] clydefrog: yeah, shut it down last night

[01:35:32] bill6502 (bill6502!~bill@205.178.26.43) has joined #mythtv-users
[01:36:28] clydefrog: But after checking, the Preset tuner to channel field is blank.
[01:37:30] iamlindoro: Are you trying to use a video source that is shared with a digital tuner, or which used to belong to one?
[01:37:32] clydefrog: The starting channel field is set to 2, but it automatically populates when Fetching channels from listings sourc
[01:38:11] mattwj2002 (mattwj2002!~matt@wikisource/pdpc.active.mattwj2002) has left #mythtv-users ()
[01:38:41] iamlindoro: Personally, would dump the video source and start again from scratch, and you also need to make sure a valid channel change script is defined
[01:38:49] iamlindoro: if you have no channel change script, that is the first thing you should do
[01:38:58] iamlindoro: as wagnerrp mentioned, /bin/true can fake it
[01:39:21] clydefrog: No, I have the STB component out hooked up to the HDPVR's component in, no other source has been defined
[01:39:41] clydefrog: I will add /bin/true
[01:40:00] iamlindoro: It cannot function without *some* channel change script being defined
[01:40:05] iamlindoro: As documented in the HD-PVR wiki page
[01:40:15] iamlindoro: And that channel changer must return true on success
[01:41:15] clydefrog: wow, i'm so dumb. Thank you.
[01:41:22] iamlindoro: np
[01:41:24] clydefrog: it works now.
[01:41:53] ** wagnerrp loves going back through old recordings to clip out ads, only to find it in (poorly) upscaled 480i **
[01:42:02] clydefrog: utilizing IR blaster though, haven't begun that quest yet.

[01:42:23] iamlindoro: Or use firewire
[01:42:56] clydefrog: i am not sure that firewire is supported. I have Cox cable and I am reluctant to let them know what i am doing.
[01:43:09] iamlindoro: "supported" by whom?

[01:43:13] pyther (pyther!~pyther@unaffiliated/pyther) has joined #mythtv-users
[01:43:14] clydefrog: so if i needed them to remotely enable the firewire, it would be their first clue
[01:43:17] wagnerrp: up until a year ago, they had to support it
[01:43:25] iamlindoro: The FCC obliges them to provide a STB with functional firewire
[01:43:25] wagnerrp: why would they care what youre doing?
[01:43:35] wagnerrp: iamlindoro: i thought that was rescinded
[01:43:47] iamlindoro: wagnerrp: TTBOMK that's still pending/proposed
[01:44:12] iamlindoro: clydefrog: Clue that what? You're capturing the output of their box in a legal and widely-performed activity?
[01:44:14] wagnerrp: ah, i thought it was part of that cablecard accessibility mandate
[01:44:44] clydefrog: it seems silly, but yes.
[01:44:51] iamlindoro: anyway, it's quite likely that the box, while probably not supporting capture, at least supports firewire as it stands
[01:45:07] iamlindoro: clydefrog: You have nothing to hide, you're doing something that countless people do, and which is perfectly legal
[01:45:38] iamlindoro: anyway, it's extremely doubtful that you'll need to contact them at all
[01:45:41] iamlindoro: what is the STB model?
[01:45:43] clydefrog: These companies turned their backs on millions of people and with the help of the government to close the analog loophole.
[01:45:56] iamlindoro: The analog hole isn't closed
[01:45:57] clydefrog: there is still a loophole
[01:46:23] clydefrog: and i don't want it documented or closed as a result
[01:46:34] clydefrog: the loophole closed, that is
[01:46:34] iamlindoro: I think you may be working on some misinformation
[01:46:48] wagnerrp: i refuse to call that a 'loophole'
[01:46:57] iamlindoro: Analog capture is alive and well, and there's no present move whatsoever to disable it
[01:47:03] wagnerrp: a loophole is something used to get around something that is otherwise illegal
[01:47:21] wagnerrp: analog capture is simply what has been done since the advent of the VCR 30 years ago
[01:47:30] iamlindoro: In fact, with the right cable provider, capture in myth is better than it's ever been
[01:48:16] clydefrog: I know. I love that these types of things can be done. But fighting to keep it alive is a losing battle and it is only a matter of time before all STBs are HDMI only.
[01:48:22] iamlindoro: I can record every single one of the hundreds of channels I get in perfect digital quality with no external box, except for two channels that require an HD-PVR... everything perfect, everything in HD
[01:48:47] wagnerrp: you must not have a crappy CBS affiliate
[01:48:56] iamlindoro: wagnerrp: heh, no, I just have a ClearQAM tuner
[01:49:04] iamlindoro: (for that one, that is)
[01:49:28] iamlindoro: CableCard for the rest, HD-PVR for HBO and Starz... result, perfect copies of everything, near perfect copies of premiums
[01:49:48] wagnerrp: no, i mean a third of the time, my CBS recordings are either screwed up, or have tickers
[01:49:56] iamlindoro: ah, yeah, not here
[01:49:58] wagnerrp: and the rest of the time, they still have a poor quality encoder
[01:50:03] iamlindoro: But then, no CBS content intests me
[01:50:06] wagnerrp: running at exceedingly low bitrate
[01:50:14] clydefrog: You get all of that through QAM?
[01:50:26] iamlindoro: QAM and with my CableCard tuner, yes
[01:50:31] wagnerrp: either they botch the resolution change coming off their news blurb
[01:50:36] wagnerrp: or have nasty glitches
[01:50:59] wagnerrp: or any number of things that should result in the broadcast engineers being fired for repeated and gross incompetence
[01:51:08] iamlindoro: yeah, that sucks
[01:51:10] clydefrog: I bought the HDPVR soley to record in HD. I that aside from SD basic cable, everything was encrypted
[01:51:27] clydefrog: *thought that
[01:51:34] iamlindoro: clydefrog: That's what a CableCard tuner is for-- encrypted content
[01:51:49] iamlindoro: After the encryption is removed, you're left dealing with whether it's also copy protected, which is not the same thing
[01:52:01] iamlindoro: If your provider is comcast, nothing but premiums are copy protected
[01:52:08] clydefrog: And your provider has to offer cable cards, correct?
[01:52:10] iamlindoro: (in most markets, your mileage may vary)
[01:52:16] iamlindoro: yes, all providers offer cablecards
[01:52:21] wagnerrp: by law
[01:52:26] iamlindoro: by law
[01:52:52] wagnerrp: but your results as to what is marked 'copy freely', and recordable by mythtv, will vary
[01:52:57] iamlindoro: My understanding is that Cox is pretty crap copy protectionwise, though
[01:53:02] clydefrog: nice!
[01:53:10] iamlindoro: So basically you'll probably be forced to stick with the HD-PVR and a STB
[01:53:24] iamlindoro: But *I'm* happy and get everything, and I think that's what matters here
[01:53:48] iamlindoro: of course it may vary by Cox market as well, they're a fairly small provider nationally speaking
[01:53:55] wagnerrp: rhode island... is fios an option?
[01:54:06] iamlindoro: yeah, FIOS is great for CableCard if you can get that
[01:54:20] clydefrog: damn. I used to have TWC, but they were absolutely terrible and Cox is just awesome in comparison.
[01:54:34] wagnerrp: time warner IS terrible
[01:54:36] iamlindoro: TWC is by far the worst
[01:54:40] wagnerrp: theyre worthless for cablecard as well
[01:55:04] clydefrog: Well than I made the right tuner choice then.  :)
[01:55:10] ** wagnerrp fears the future, as his cableco got bought by time warner **
[01:55:26] clydefrog: *then
[01:55:32] iamlindoro: you could all move
[01:55:49] wagnerrp: i could get FIOS

[01:56:06] wagnerrp: its been up on the avenue for about a year and a half now
[01:58:53] wagnerrp: Beirdo: whatever those transcoding changes you made a while back were, they seem to be working
[01:59:07] wagnerrp: half a dozen lossless transcodes later and not a fault yet

[02:02:21] iamlindoro: I took a long break from lossless transcode since I had to use the HD-PRV for so long for any content of worth
[02:02:33] iamlindoro: but started using it again with the Prime, it's been pretty reliable
[02:03:03] iamlindoro: That said, I may have been part of the lucky few who always had fairly good luck with it

[02:03:52] wagnerrp: to be fair, my poor luck generally centered around that aforementioned CBS affiliate
[02:08:55] clydefrog: reading over the IR Blaster setup, LIRC is built in to .24, right?
[02:09:28] iamlindoro: no, lirc is not and never will be built into myth
[02:09:37] iamlindoro: lirc is its own separate daemon
[02:09:49] iamlindoro: That said, you should *really* start by trying firewire, which is far more reliable
[02:10:09] clydefrog: okay. firewire is supported out of the box?
[02:10:35] iamlindoro: Firewire still requires a channel change script, usually a compiled one-- but is many times more reliable and simple to set up
[02:10:44] wagnerrp: (in 0.24)
[02:11:02] iamlindoro: correct-- in the next version of mythtv, firewire channel change is built in for HD-PVR and other analog tuners
[02:11:43] iamlindoro: is someone ever gets around to writing the UI to set it up
[02:11:53] iamlindoro: (technically, someone already has, but it isn't quite right)
[02:13:59] mag0o: yay, now I can get my old hardware out of the closet again! http://techreport.com/discussions.x/21724
[02:15:35] wagnerrp: is that the GF520 thing?
[02:19:28] clydefrog: Okay, need a firewire card and cable. Where can i obtain a channel change script?
[02:19:49] mag0o: yeah wagnerrp
[02:19:54] wagnerrp: there are a couple applications you can find on the wiki
[02:20:14] wagnerrp: mag0o: how is this different from the PCI 8400s?
[02:20:56] mag0o: dunno, wasn't reading too much, just showing the same enthusiam the media was :)
[02:22:57] jya: wagnerrp: yes it is… It was upgraded recently too. Though I do not maintain it.
[02:23:48] wagnerrp: should the device scanner be picking it up?
[02:24:26] wagnerrp: was looking to use JACK for network audio, rather than having to patch my dev box through the audio input on my desktop

[02:41:26] iamlindoro: clydefrog: Are you referring to http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Sa4250_ch_guid ?
[02:41:42] iamlindoro: The first item is a script, the second is a compiled executable
[02:42:07] clydefrog: +iamlindoro: yes, that is where I am looking.
[02:42:29] iamlindoro: you copy the contents of the first block into a file called sa4250_ch_guid, then you chmod +x that file, then you copy the contents of the second block into a file called sa4250_ch.c and compile it using the command line in the comments of that file
[02:42:44] iamlindoro: specifically:
[02:42:45] iamlindoro: gcc -o sa4250_ch sa4250_ch.c -lrom1394 -lavc1394 -lraw1394
[02:43:04] iamlindoro: thich will require that you have installed the rom1394, avc1394, and raw1394 libs and their dev libraries

[02:43:39] wagnerrp: Beirdo: ive got some episode of nova recording to the same disk
[02:43:56] wagnerrp: im figuring i should just consider it a loss without even looking at it
[02:44:22] Beirdo: yeah, we should look at doing ionice or something at least on that
[02:44:37] wagnerrp: bsd, no ionice
[02:44:40] Beirdo: oh
[02:44:41] Beirdo: heh
[02:44:42] wagnerrp: ioprio, whatever
[02:44:55] iamlindoro: on ubuntu, that would be something like the followinglibiec61883-dev: apt-get install build-essential libraw1394-dev libavc1394-dev
[02:45:08] iamlindoro: whoops, rather:
[02:45:19] iamlindoro: apt-get install build-essential libraw1394-dev libavc1394-dev libiec61883-dev
[02:46:38] clydefrog: +iamlindoro: okay, that helps greatly. and nothing other than specifying the guid when envoking "sa4250_ch_guid" needs to be altered?
[02:46:55] iamlindoro: you don't need to change anything in the script
[02:47:19] iamlindoro: $1 means the GUID will be the first argument
[02:47:34] iamlindoro: which you can get by running the "plugreport" command, which you should have after installing those packages above
[02:47:52] iamlindoro: So, in order:
[02:48:12] iamlindoro: 1) copy the first block into a file called sa4250_ch_guid
[02:48:21] iamlindoro: 2) run: chmod +x sa4250_ch_guid
[02:48:34] iamlindoro: 3) cp sa4250_ch_guid /usr/local/bin/
[02:48:51] iamlindoro: 4) copy the second block into a file called sa4250_ch.c
[02:49:02] iamlindoro: 5) run: apt-get install build-essential libraw1394-dev libavc1394-dev libiec61883-dev
[02:49:18] iamlindoro: 6) run: gcc -o sa4250_ch sa4250_ch.c -lrom1394 -lavc1394 -lraw1394
[02:49:28] iamlindoro: assuming that succeeds without error....
[02:49:45] iamlindoro: 7) cp sa4250_ch /usr/local/bin/
[02:50:15] iamlindoro: 8) run the "plugreport" command and make note of the GUID for your cable box in the results (this assumes the STB is plugged in and detected)
[02:50:50] iamlindoro: 9) invoke the script as: /usr/local/bin/sa4250_ch_guid THEGUIDYOUJUSTMADENOTEOF 123
[02:50:58] iamlindoro: should change your STB to channel 123
[02:51:42] Technophil (Technophil!~David@203-97-234-182.cable.telstraclear.net) has joined #mythtv-users
[02:51:46] iamlindoro: if it does, you add the following as your myth channel change command: /usr/local/bin/sa4250_ch_guid THEGUIDYOUJUSTMADENOTEOF
[02:52:13] iamlindoro: (the same as above, minus the channel number, which the backend adds)
[02:52:51] clydefrog: wow, you just saved me about 20 hours of research.
[02:53:05] iamlindoro: Well, all of this presumes a lot
[02:53:07] clydefrog: thank you sir
[02:53:12] iamlindoro: a) that you are on ubuntuish
[02:53:21] iamlindoro: b) that I have the package names for the deps right
[02:53:22] clydefrog: running mythbuntu
[02:53:33] iamlindoro: c) that your STB is one of the recognized model and vendor ids
[02:53:46] iamlindoro: and probably some others that I can't think of ;)
[02:53:49] iamlindoro: but you are welcome all the same
[02:54:15] iamlindoro: Of course, in MythTV .25 you will simply set the channel changer to "Internal" and pick your STB GUID from the list, and set the model to "Cisco/SA generic"
[02:54:22] iamlindoro: and it'll work with no channel changer script
[02:54:44] clydefrog: that would be nice! any word on xbmc frontend support?
[02:55:18] iamlindoro: We don't, and won't, support third party frontends
[02:55:37] iamlindoro: It's up to those apps to provide support if they're going to write their own frontend
[02:55:52] iamlindoro: We don't actively prohibit it, but we don't provide the support either
[02:55:55] clydefrog: sorry if i stepped on some toes, i regreted hitting enter the second i did it.
[02:56:13] wagnerrp: youre not stepping on toes, its just not our application to support
[02:56:15] iamlindoro: No toes stepped on, we just don't provide support for XBMC here
[02:56:28] wagnerrp: we can help you with recording issues
[02:56:36] iamlindoro: In fact, writing a third party FE is going to be about a million times easier in .25
[02:56:42] wagnerrp: but any problems with playback are completely outside of our experience or control
[02:56:48] iamlindoro: But we still won't provide support for software we don't write
[02:57:01] iamlindoro: problems with playback in other apps, anyway

[02:57:30] wagnerrp: i dont know what youre talking about
[02:57:39] wagnerrp: i personally dont support playback issues in our own code
[02:57:41] iamlindoro: wagnerrp: Wonder if any of the usual suspects will take advantages of the Services API come .25
[02:57:55] wagnerrp: i am very much against playback issues

[02:58:52] iamlindoro: aaaaaand never mind
[03:01:11] jya: wagnerrp: if jackd is running, you will see the jack audio device appearing in the list of output
[03:01:22] jya: or so it should :)
[03:01:38] jya: you need to have compiled myth with jack support though
[03:01:59] wagnerrp: yeah, its compiled in (i think), just not showing up
[03:02:14] wagnerrp: but... at least that means if i have jack running properly on my side, mythtv will "just work"
[03:02:40] jya: well, you will need to select JACK: in the output
[03:02:46] jya: in the audio config
[03:03:27] wagnerrp: right, but its not showing up at all
[03:03:39] jya: ok, let me have a look
[03:03:56] jya: i have to say that I haven't tested trunk in a while
[03:04:04] jya: I only play with the 0.24 + audio backports
[03:04:16] jya: especially that now trunk just can't run against my 0.24 backend
[03:04:20] wagnerrp: if its any trouble to get jack running to test, dont bother
[03:04:30] wagnerrp: im currently just using the machine to edit cutlists
[03:04:35] jya: nah, I have a VMWare VM with it up and running
[03:04:38] wagnerrp: so no audio needed for now
[03:04:42] jya: just a matter of recompiling the last version
[03:04:51] jya: why not use pulse?
[03:05:22] wagnerrp: i keep claiming pulse sucks... cant make myself a heretic
[03:05:23] wagnerrp: :)
[03:05:28] jya: hahah
[03:05:40] jya: I was thinking exactly the same thing as I was writing it :)
[03:05:53] jya: pulse using the ALSA interface works okay actually
[03:06:19] jya: I never understood what they are doing differently, so their alsa pulse driver work so well, yet you use their native interface it sucks
[03:06:56] jya: the last thing that convinced me it was inherently broken, was that I tried the OSS pulse interface
[03:07:10] jya: OSS is something that has been working perfectly in myth for years
[03:07:53] jya: as soon as I use the pulse OSS interface, I see exactly the same issues I see when using the native pulse interface (white noise when pause/play, resampling other than 44.1kHz etc)
[03:09:10] jya: damn, this OS X lion is such a piece of crap… I can't do commant-tab once again.. have to reboot
[03:09:11] jya: brb
[03:11:05] iamlindoro: Lion is really rough around the edges for sure
[03:11:17] iamlindoro: And a lot of things changed completely arbitrarily
[03:11:30] jya: I can't even shutdown :)
[03:12:06] jya: the worse is log gin in. it takes about 30s between the time I enter my password, and the time something occur
[03:12:23] jya: and as I have to restart my iMac twice a day because something crashed bad
[03:12:28] iamlindoro: I managed to crash the new system registration wizard... twice
[03:12:50] jya: ah ! now command-tab works once again… go figure
[03:12:52] wagnerrp: nonsense, Macs dont crash
[03:13:05] jya: wagnerrp: you're right, it doesn't crash
[03:13:17] jya: you just can't switch application anymore
[03:13:48] jya: i have to say, the new full screen for Xcode is great. Got myself an 11" macbook air, it's actually usable
[03:13:52] ** wagnerrp goes to the kitchen to get more koolaid **
[03:14:05] jya: well, maybe I won't reboot after all
[03:15:32] wagnerrp: yeah, like i said, if its any trouble, dont bother
[03:15:56] jya: i'm curious why it wouldn't work
[03:16:13] jya: I've been away for the past 2.5 months… and got back into myth for the first time last night
[03:16:26] jya: to write what, 50 lines of code, it took me 4 hours
[03:16:29] ** wagnerrp is betting its his own system **
[03:16:37] jya: myth is sooo complicated
[03:16:55] wagnerrp: its only about a mill and a quarter lines
[03:16:59] jya: you have interactions everywhere, change one line and you break something unrelated
[03:17:05] wagnerrp: i mean what... thats two months reading?
[03:17:13] iamlindoro: jya: Hmm, I hadn't tried XCode in full screen until just now-- that is a lot better.. I had been annoyed by all the clutter
[03:17:59] jya: iamlindoro: the only thing annoying with Xcode is that you can't hide the toolbar without going into the menu, there are no keyboard shortcuts
[03:18:17] jya: and you need to learn the keyboard shortcuts, which are the most complicated things in the whole word
[03:18:29] jya: what other applications has 5 keys shortcuts
[03:18:40] jya: like command-option-shift-control-[
[03:19:40] wagnerrp: iamlindoro: the strange thing is that as garbage as CBS is, the FOX affiliate is that fantastic
[03:20:09] wagnerrp: ive have 720p recordings as low as 3GB/hr with not a bit of visible pixellation
[03:20:15] iamlindoro: wagnerrp: Nice-- we are spoiled here, the local affiliates are all tip top
[03:22:11] jya: wagnerrp: I've purchased 720P movies on iTunes ; 1.7GB on average, the give away of high compression are the dark blue and black shades
[03:22:29] jya: makes some kind of rings
[03:22:58] wagnerrp: jya: this is mpeg2, and 60fps
[03:23:23] jya: iTunes is h264, not sure of the refresh rate, pretty convinced in 60fps too
[03:23:45] wagnerrp: a movie at 60fps? not 24?
[03:23:57] wagnerrp: of course this is a show filmed at 24fps
[03:24:15] wagnerrp: and assuming their encoder has any sense, its just adding virtual padding, rather than actually duplicating the frames
[03:24:54] jya: wagnerrp: I mean what comes out of the apple TV
[03:26:16] wagnerrp: still, 1.7GB for 90+min of 720p is awfully light
[03:26:26] wagnerrp: especially considering apple likes to use CAVLC

[03:38:17] madslackin: got a question I can't find an answer to – running mythtv version .24.1, when I play a high bitrate video with mplayer in X it works fine, but if I use the internal mythtv player, it's choppy. I've tried to get mythtv to use mplayer as an alternate player, but it always fails with an error in the log that looks like it's trying to access a storage group (Videos) when I have no such SG defined, and I have the videos se
[03:39:10] wagnerrp: high bitrate video... what bitrate? what codec? what processor? what video card?

[03:40:40] madslackin: I don't know the answers to the first two questions, but I can't see why the video format is the concern when it plays fine in mplayer

[03:41:22] madslackin: is there not a way to get mplayer to work as an alternate player, or is there a particular compelling reason to stick with the internal player?
[03:41:37] wagnerrp: with storage groups, mplayer will not work in mythvideo
[03:41:48] madslackin: right, and I don't have any storage groups set up in the back end
[03:42:07] madslackin: I can't figure out why it's still attempting to read from an SG
[03:42:30] wagnerrp: you dont have any folders defined for the "Videos" storage group?
[03:42:44] wagnerrp: you only defined folders using the old settings in the frontend?
[03:42:44] madslackin: correct, there is no Videos SG at all
[03:42:49] madslackin: correct
[03:42:57] wagnerrp: in that case, you can use mplayer, but understand that is a deprecated setup
[03:43:04] wagnerrp: that will be disallowed at some point in the future
[03:43:13] wagnerrp: so better to find the cause of your problem
[03:43:34] madslackin: I can understand and respect that
[03:43:34] wagnerrp: which is likely bad settings for your content and hardware
[03:43:46] wagnerrp: so lacking the other two, what processor and graphics card?
[03:44:16] madslackin: one sec
[03:45:30] madslackin: the processor is an athlon2 x2 260 3.2ghz, the vid card is a PCI-E geforce 210 (asus en210) w/ 512mb ram
[03:47:09] wagnerrp: what playback profile are you using?
[03:47:27] wagnerrp: that system should handle anything you throw at it using VDPAU Normal, VDPAU Slim, or Slim
[03:47:41] wagnerrp: assuming youre running the proprietary nvidia drivers
[03:48:21] ** Beirdo knocks on wood **
[03:48:39] madslackin: I tried them all a few weeks ago so it's not fresh in my mind, but right now I see I'm on CPU++ (just upgraded mythtv version so perhaps it set it back to that)
[03:48:43] Beirdo: LA Dodgers winning 7–0... one inning to go
[03:48:48] madslackin: I'll try one of the vdpau versions now
[03:51:29] Beirdo: nooooo. You jerks.
[03:51:39] Beirdo: let Ted Lilly finish the bloody game!
[03:52:02] madslackin: OK, tried VDPAU Normal and it is the same as I remember now, it's substantially better than CPU++, but it gets choppy after a short time, with a bunch of the following messages in the front end log:
[03:52:06] madslackin: 2011-09–28 20:50:38.197 Player(3): Waited 100ms for video buffers AAAAAAAAAAAAfAfAL
[03:52:26] wagnerrp: yeah, you dont want to use CPU++
[03:52:33] wagnerrp: VDPAU Normal, or (non VDPAU) Slim
[03:53:23] madslackin: I noticed a HUGE different in mplayer when I installed the vdpau drivers, since they weren't installed by default, but I'm still noticing that mplayer plays the video smoothly, and mythtv/mythvideo has some choppiness
[03:54:30] madslackin: any other ideas for tweaking the mythvideo setttings?
[03:56:04] wagnerrp: the internal player is just generic mythtv settings, has nothing to do with mythvideo
[03:57:52] madslackin: I used the wrong word then — any ideas for further tweaking of mythtv?
[03:58:34] wagnerrp: if VDPAU Normal has problems with the content, try Slim
[03:59:19] madslackin: ok, will do
[04:03:07] madslackin: I have gotten it to play several videos smoothly that were super choppy before, so that's a good thing
[04:03:59] madslackin: but there are still a few that have some choppiness so I'd like to use mplayer as an alternative there; so if I have no Videos SG set up at all in the back end, and I have the videos path defined in the video player settings in mythtv, do you know why it would still be looking for the Videos SG?
[04:06:00] wagnerrp: you've checked mythtv-setup and made sure there is no Videos storage group defined?
[04:06:05] madslackin: correct
[04:06:06] wagnerrp: mythbuntu likes to set that stuff by default
[04:06:17] wagnerrp: never set it on any other machines?
[04:06:20] madslackin: yeah — I just made sure I deleted it
[04:06:25] madslackin: and I only have the one machine
[04:07:32] madslackin: hmm, what about increasing vdpaubuffersize?

[05:11:23] mattwj2002: :D
[05:11:58] mattwj2002: only problem at my current recording rate a 1.5TB hd is only good for about a week
[05:12:00] mattwj2002: :(
[05:12:17] k-man: mattwj2002, are you able to watch everything you record?
[05:12:20] wagnerrp: that doesnt sound right...
[05:12:31] mattwj2002: of course not
[05:12:36] jya: wagnerrp: found out the problem with JACK
[05:12:38] mattwj2002: I am recording a lot of stuff
[05:12:54] mattwj2002: I probably need to cut back
[05:13:09] jya: looks like configure generates a different #define for JACK now, so it is actually never compiled in
[05:13:38] mattwj2002: 180 programs, using 529 GB (5 days 21 hrs 6 mins) out of 1.3 TB (777 GB free).
[05:13:51] mattwj2002: it has been running since like Sunday
[05:14:11] wagnerrp: 180 programs recorded since sunday?
[05:14:22] mattwj2002: yes
[05:14:52] wagnerrp: thats absurd
[05:15:12] mattwj2002: like I said....
[05:15:19] mattwj2002: I probably need to cut back :)
[05:16:49] jya: wagnerrp: looking at the config.h generated by configure, I'm actually surprised any of the audio modules are included, even ALSA… '
[05:16:51] wagnerrp: jya: are you going to take care of it, or do you want me to?
[05:17:44] jya: well, first I need to find out when configure output changed… what are the name of the constant to use now.. And also, why it would have worked for some… nothing should be included right now
[05:18:01] jya: like where is USE_ALSA defined ?
[05:18:09] jya: I can't find it anywhere now
[05:19:04] jya: ah, I see… it's the generated makefile in libmyth
[05:20:32] mattwj2002: I don't know what not to record
[05:20:40] mattwj2002: I want all I have scheduled :(
[05:20:55] wagnerrp: clearly you need to buy more hard drives
[05:20:56] wagnerrp: :)
[05:21:26] mattwj2002: :D
[05:21:43] mattwj2002: if I was to buy more hard drives....
[05:21:52] mattwj2002: I would just add them as a new storage group
[05:22:05] wagnerrp: no, you add them to the existing storage group
[05:22:12] wagnerrp: and mythtv will automatically balance between them
[05:22:13] mattwj2002: and it would just start adding it on after one fills up right?
[05:22:23] mattwj2002: balance how?
[05:22:41] wagnerrp: a combination of free space percentage and IO load
[05:22:47] mattwj2002: oh okay
[05:22:55] jmartens (jmartens!~jmartens@s5597ca60.adsl.wanadoo.nl) has quit (Quit: Leaving.)
[05:23:04] wagnerrp: note that expiration is done per-disk
[05:23:12] jya: ah…. USE_JACK vs USING_JACK… such a mess in there, it's all over the place and there's no consistency in the name of the constant
[05:23:14] wagnerrp: and is completely independent from the disk scheduler
[05:23:28] mattwj2002: they are cheap!
[05:23:29] mattwj2002: :D
[05:23:36] sphery: wagnerrp: USA Today is saying "Comedy is king" and (in the print version of the article) said that 2 1/2 Men without Charlie Sheen looked like a winner. Seems like they've updated the online article to remove that statement – http://www.usatoday.com/life/television/news/ . . . n/50575418/1 . I didn't keep the print version, so can't quote it (I assumed the online version would be the same).
[05:24:04] sphery: the print version seemed to imply it's a good show--not just that it had good numbers for the first episode
[05:24:25] sphery: that said, it's USA Today, so I trust your review much more
[05:24:35] wagnerrp: the disk scheduler may decide to put a recording on another disk, even though that would result in an expired recording while there is space left on the disk
[05:24:52] wagnerrp: its just not the same show
[05:25:03] kc (kc!~Casper@unaffiliated/kc) has quit (Ping timeout: 248 seconds)
[05:25:07] wagnerrp: and so far, its considerably more stupid humor than even the original show was
[05:25:08] petefoo: where does myth influence the bitrate of my hdpvr these days? i keep changing it at the device, and it keeps chaging back
[05:25:11] sphery: I really need to do the "follow auto-expire order" disk scheduler
[05:25:33] wagnerrp: not surprising, considering ashton tends to do nothing but stupid humor
[05:25:52] sphery: (not for me, as I don't ever let mythtv disks get full enough to expire anything, but for users who don't understand the disk scheduler stuff)
[05:26:05] sphery: petefoo: recording profiles
[05:26:17] sphery: (same as it ever was)
[05:26:33] mattwj2002: wagnerrp: is it good to have all the same size disk?
[05:26:37] mattwj2002: or doesn't it matter?
[05:27:20] wagnerrp: might make the behavior of the disk scheduler slightly more predictable
[05:27:24] wagnerrp: doesnt matter outside of that
[05:27:29] mattwj2002: ok
[05:27:44] sphery: wagnerrp: yeah, that makes sense... I just hope it doesn't live long--though Ashton's alleged affair may mean he's actually turning into the next Charlie Sheen
[05:28:02] sphery: guess maybe that's "research" for the role?
[05:29:53] wagnerrp: the premise is, hes some web billionaire who has been kicked out by his wife for being too immature, and wants to kill himself
[05:30:25] wagnerrp: alan talks him out of it, buys the house, and lets alan stay there, for a 'few days, couple weeks tops' so he doesnt have to stay at evelyn's

[05:32:29] wagnerrp: passing train
[05:32:37] jya: wagnerrp: can you try something for me ? edit the file libs/libmyth/audio/audiooutput.cpp
[05:33:08] wagnerrp: sure
[05:33:25] jya: line 388, change USING_JACK for USE_JACK
[05:33:31] jya: recompile and test :)
[05:34:19] jya: I can see myth always trying to check JACK, but error with "No ports to connect to", have to find out what is wrong with my jack server config
[05:34:25] jya: haven't played with jack for a while
[05:34:27] ** wagnerrp tries to figure out how to best do that in gentoo **
[05:34:50] jya: I can push that change in master already
[05:35:14] wagnerrp: well, i just need to generate a patch, and then add an 'epatch <file>' line in the ebuild
[05:35:18] sphery: haha, a train wreck... how appropriate--probably the funniest joke in the whole series
[05:35:37] wagnerrp: sphery: i didnt say a train wreck
[05:35:54] jya: problem is also in 0.24
[05:35:58] petefoo_: sphery: why is the bitrate so buried? shouldn't it be an atribute of the hdprv itself? or is the goal to give control to the channels?
[05:36:32] wagnerrp: petefoo_: thats where it has always been
[05:36:32] petefoo_: seems like it would be in mythtv-setup
[05:36:46] sphery: to give control to the user so they can choose to record different shows at different bitrates/resolutions/...
[05:36:57] wagnerrp: mythtv-setup is generally limited to those things that need a backend restart
[05:37:06] sphery: i.e. recording profiles are separate to allow you to select recording profiles for each individual show
[05:37:14] sphery: (it's an option in the recording rule)
[05:37:16] wagnerrp: recording profiles are something that can be changed on-the-fly
[05:37:28] jya: myavtest generates -DUSING_JACK , et mythfrontend -DUSE_JACK..
[05:37:40] petefoo_: gotcha

[05:47:52] wagnerrp: jya: should i cancel the other build?
[05:48:02] sphery: dead end = ????
[05:48:04] petefoo_: mythweb is fine.
[05:48:19] petefoo_: dead end = hit key, no action

[05:48:35] jya: wagnerrp: I'm not sure :P
[05:49:38] sphery: petefoo_: not sure why it would do nothing, but I have a feeling that if it does, you should see some errors in your frontend log
[05:50:09] sphery: I can't test it--my system is a bit out of reach, now--but last I used it, it worked fine
[05:51:50] petefoo_: its one of those waf problems. probably my fault, just haven't been able to nail it down.
[05:52:14] sphery: petefoo_: if you're using master, though, make sure you're using current Arclight
[05:52:25] sphery: there were changes in master that require updated themes
[05:52:29] sphery: I know Arclight was updated
[05:52:40] sphery: you can use the Theme Chooser to download the updated version
[05:52:47] petefoo_: is there a way to force an update?
[05:53:00] petefoo_: i goto theme chooser
[05:53:20] petefoo_: assume it gets me the new ones when i resync
[05:54:43] sphery: make sure you tell it to look at downloadable themes
[05:54:54] sphery: and then select the arclight with the newer version than the one you have
[05:55:02] wagnerrp: iamlindoro: i saw those, hadnt gotten around to banning them yet
[05:55:20] wagnerrp: of course... it does mean i need to add 'dispostable.com' to the list of blocked addresses
[05:56:07] petefoo_: current arclight is 25.11 here.
[05:56:14] petefoo_: am i current?
[05:59:13] petefoo_: seems better now. as always, its not you, its me

[09:56:16] EvilGuru: card, rather
[10:01:41] justinh: what's the point, though?
[10:02:05] justinh: if your system is too old & crap to use VDPAU, you can't use VDPAU. END OF STORY
[10:03:26] EvilGuru: justinh: There are a lot of ITX type systems which would benefit
[10:03:39] EvilGuru: They often have integrated ATI/intel stuff and only PCI expansion

[10:33:26] justinh: like I said.. if your system is too old or crap :-)
[10:33:36] lyricnz: Hmm, my backend started crashing. Could be related to the fact that the northbridge fan failed about 12 months ago.... :)
[10:35:28] justinh: EvilGuru: I could always have put a PCI VDPAU card in my Epia-M10k but thankfully I had the presence of mind to get rid of it long, long ago
[10:35:55] justinh: and amazingly, got almost what I paid for it originally (SUCKER!)
[10:36:38] ** EvilGuru had a quad core itx next to him **
[10:36:43] justinh: time moves on. hardware grows obsolete. fact of life. Not "oh noes, I can't use my ZX81 to play broadcast HD in H.264"
[10:37:18] EvilGuru: although it is as a server/number cruncher as opposed to an htpc
[10:37:20] justinh: yes but PCI doesn't have enough throughput for uncompressed HD
[10:37:44] justinh: so you'd be bound to using VDPAU for everything – which as I gather is sub-optimal
[10:38:08] EvilGuru: usually the frame buffer is on the GPU
[10:40:19] justinh: no I mean you'd be locked in to doing GPU decompression forever – PCI is no good for more than >1Gb/sec
[10:40:39] EvilGuru: yeah
[10:41:03] justinh: so even just transferring uncompressed frames to the framebuffer... no way.. not 1080P
[10:41:16] EvilGuru: but that is quite painful anyway
[10:41:50] justinh: for whom?
[10:42:26] EvilGuru: in general, taking software decoded 1080p30 and playing it back that way
[10:42:37] justinh: nah
[10:43:26] justinh: we need to stop this madness of relying on HW acceleration. I've been there, and it's great when it works. But when it doesn't work you want to throw it on a fire
[10:43:49] EvilGuru: I agree there, it is a pain when it does not work
[10:44:57] justinh: it's all well & good in closed broadcast systems – i.e. somebody like Sky where everything is pretty rightly controlled
[10:45:10] justinh: rightly? tightly
[10:45:31] justinh: or not, as in the case of Freeview & Freesat HD
[10:45:38] justinh: hahahahahah
[10:45:56] EvilGuru: I think most consumer devices (phones, tablets, etc) depend on hardware decoding for virtually any kind of playbac
[10:46:05] justinh: well boo hoo :D
[10:46:25] justinh: of course they will, but expecting a tablet to deal with every media format under the sun is.. a bit much
[10:46:40] justinh: voila, raspberry_pi !
[10:51:13] justinh: oh & well done whichever retarded dolt had the idea of using molex picoblade connectors in this here product. you can't remove them without breaking the plugs & ruining the lead

[14:12:22] wagnerrp: mythtv has no support for the r5000
[14:12:33] rooter7: Irrelevant.
[14:12:42] wagnerrp: meaning this is outside code

[14:15:04] rooter7: For years I've had all of my channels with this setup, but recently Dish added the 9400's. I am not getting only about 8 of the 50 or so 9400's.
[14:15:43] rooter7: I've had this same setup for at least three years, no changes.
[14:21:12] rooter7: The TV provider's schedule and lineup, has nothing to do with the recording device.
[14:21:55] rooter7: Why are you so against the R5000? Why the hangup? Why always try to use this as a loophole?

[14:56:02] mag0o: rooter7: tried mythfilldatabase with --only-update-channels or --do-channel-updates ?
[14:56:32] rooter7: Haven't, but will thanks.
[14:57:07] mag0o: and if i recall, the higher number channels in Dish are usually mapped to a reasonably low channel number, usually in the ### format
[14:58:44] rooter7: They are, but Dish recently changed the format, so HighDef channels mirrored to a low number are no longer mirrored, and sometimes carry low-def. So I'm switching to the 9400's.
[14:58:59] mag0o: example: 9455 == HBO2HD == 301
[14:59:10] mag0o: (even in schedules direct lineup)
[14:59:27] mag0o: and both have id of 59368
[14:59:36] rooter7: Right. I have 301 in Channel Editor, but not 9455.
[14:59:46] mag0o: So, why do you need both?
[15:00:33] rooter7: Dish told me that the low channel now will carry some SD. So apparently no longer mirrored.
[15:01:15] mag0o: ah, interesting
[15:01:22] rooter7: But meh, same ID?! WTF?
[15:02:29] incorrect (incorrect!~fwest@mailgate.enecsys.com) has quit (Quit: Leaving)
[15:03:13] mag0o: although, also in schedules direct, 301 == HBO2HD && HBO2 while HBO2HD id is 59368 and HBO2 id is 10241
[15:04:55] mag0o: Are you sure the rep wasn't talking about how you have 2 channels per HD channel? I.E – I have 2 Cartoon Network channels via the STB, both on channel 176 and there is a setting in the STB to tune 176 HD over 176 SD
[15:07:59] rooter7: Not following your channel/IDs post, but I'm well familiar with the channel duplication thing, where there are two 107's, one SD & one HD.
[15:08:34] rooter7: She was definitely saying that the 95400's are HD all the time, whereas its low number HD will sometimes carry SD.
[15:08:51] rooter7: ... under a recent change.
[15:09:03] mag0o: interesting indeed
[15:09:11] rooter7: I noticed yesterday that suddently I no longer had the channel dupes.

[15:14:04] rooter7: ... and now in Channel Editor with Name sort, I only see 300's for HBO. Before I at least had the 9400 for 300 together.
[15:14:28] rooter7: Now no 9400's for HBO in name sort. But in number sort...
[15:15:14] mag0o: not sure on that
[15:15:21] rooter7: I now have the 9400's for all HBO channels! How can that be? Why wouldn't there be two entries for each HBO, one on 300's and one in 9400's?

[15:18:45] rooter7: Hiinteresting... HBO2HD 9455 is 59368 and 301 is 10241, lending credence to their new seperate status.
[15:19:24] rooter7: Up till now they've always been mirrored.

[16:21:45] DjMadness: I was actually wondering, is there any free iptv services that works along with mythtv ? (for extra channels etc) i am not speaking of anything illigle or something, but looking for the option of some more channels than are availible here
[16:23:31] wagnerrp: free? not that im aware of
[16:24:03] wagnerrp: there are various on-demand sites that you can access through mythnetvision
[16:24:07] wagnerrp: but then thats not iptv
[16:25:02] DjMadness: i seam to have issues with mythnetvision, as in its requireing a mouse (the buttons on the remote wont click on f.ex comedycentral's players)
[16:25:33] oobe (oobe!~thingo@unaffiliated/oobe) has joined #mythtv-users
[16:25:47] wagnerrp: for some sites, thats simply a requirement
[16:26:05] wagnerrp: for others, they include a an API for control
[16:26:12] context: djmadness: if there was something free that worked with mythtv it wouldn't last that long. as it'd be horded by all the myth users and the owner would quickly realize bandwidth isnt free
[16:26:14] wagnerrp: and mythtv can use that to allow control through a remote
[16:26:37] wagnerrp: i think such capability only exists with 0.25
[16:27:19] DjMadness: context: well the method could of been ie p2p etc
[16:27:50] DjMadness: p2p is a fair method imo, and a good way to save bw
[16:28:40] wagnerrp: p2p is a good way to be cheap, but a terrible way to save bandwidth
[16:29:02] DjMadness: for the server owners it is... would be the end users using most bw in the end
[16:29:38] wagnerrp: and the ISPs not designed to handle that kind of throughput
[16:29:56] wagnerrp: and the P2P protocol not designed to manage proximity
[16:30:23] DjMadness: true, but some methods could be used to prioritise the same isp and country/area etc
[16:31:03] wagnerrp: they could, but they arent
[16:32:03] DjMadness: truem i guess the best way is to use vlc and have some daemon setup to handle channel changing etc

[16:35:31] wagnerrp: DjMadness: what im getting at is that P2P is an absolutely awful mode of transmission compared to any structured approach
[16:35:46] wagnerrp: if youre talking about something live, you register a multicast address, and send it once
[16:36:17] wagnerrp: you use only whatever the bandwidth of that single instance
[16:36:29] wagnerrp: and routers on up the chain manage sending the stream to whoever wants it
[16:37:02] wagnerrp: if its not live, you rent space with some content distribution network, how has servers located all over the country
[16:37:16] wagnerrp: and individual users only pull the content from the closest server, which may be inside the ISP
[16:37:51] wagnerrp: costing a fraction of the bandwidth from the server as it would all those users pulling from each other
[16:38:35] wagnerrp: anyone who decides to use P2P as a distribution mechanism for any funded corporation needs to take a class in network infrastructure
[16:45:20] EvilGuru: wagnerrp: The BBC used P2P when they first launched iplayer, IIRC
[16:46:26] wagnerrp: someone probably slapped their engineers around a bit, and taught them a thing about network infrastructure
[16:46:38] EvilGuru: What is better on a global scale is mostly irrelevant when you do not have to pay for a CDN etc

[17:47:08] wagnerrp: total number
[17:47:27] wagnerrp: if you have more than one connection, you would be well served by an amp
[17:47:31] andreax (andreax!~andreaz@p4FC124C8.dip.t-dialin.net) has quit (Read error: Connection reset by peer)
[17:47:56] twiggy: It does have an amp. Does that mean it can handle a few or at that point it doesnt matter?
[17:48:30] wagnerrp: depends on how much amplification the amp provides
[17:48:56] wagnerrp: one split is 3db
[17:49:22] wagnerrp: so a 12db amp could service 16 devices
[17:49:31] twiggy: so with the amp that comes with a amplified indoor outdoor and 100 ft of quad shield RG6, do you think I will see any difference in signal going from 2 connections to 3?
[17:50:18] wagnerrp: again, depends on how much amplification the amp provides
[17:50:30] wagnerrp: easy way to check, remove one of the splitters and see what happens
[17:51:13] oobe (oobe!~thingo@unaffiliated/oobe) has joined #mythtv-users
[17:51:16] twiggy: looks to be 20db amp. The amp is super cheesy so I would guess that that is the max output
[17:51:32] wagnerrp: 20db is awfully high
[17:51:51] wagnerrp: the problem with an amplified antenna is that you amplify the noise just as much as the signal
[17:52:01] wagnerrp: and you can overdrive the tuner
[17:52:11] wagnerrp: too much power is just as bad as too little
[17:53:20] twiggy: well hmm. It was a radioshack omnidirectional antenna that is no longer available
[17:54:46] twiggy: well I suppose I will just go the trial and error route and make changes if I need.

[20:35:40] wagnerrp: 2.6.40?
[20:35:41] justinh: heh. mythtv started out as a bit of a toy for me.. now here I am with terabytes of storage, 3 tuners, a dedicated backend machine....
[20:36:02] laga_: .. no life...
[20:36:04] ** laga_ hides ;) **
[20:36:05] wagnerrp: whats that? you pity those file squirrels with terabytes of storage?
[20:36:24] justinh: oh and don't forget you need a pretty honking fast machine to play HD from freeview
[20:36:47] justinh: wagnerrp: ha. I still don't keep *everything* I record
[20:36:55] fwest: an atom/ion combo wouldn't be good enough?
[20:37:26] justinh: hahahaha
[20:37:34] fwest: oh really
[20:37:53] fwest: damn
[20:37:55] justinh: maybe, but I wouldn't bet my house on it being able to cope with every change the BBC makes to their streams
[20:38:30] wagnerrp: <justinh> blimmin file squirrels. they're all the same :-D
[20:38:50] fwest: oh that sucks
[20:38:57] justinh: hey, I need somewhere to put my dvd rips
[20:39:09] justinh: and my ever-expanding photo & home movie collection
[20:39:39] wagnerrp: fwest: the problem with IONs is that they require hardware decoding
[20:39:56] justinh: and the problem with Atoms is that they simply just suck
[20:40:14] iamlindoro: But aside from that they're great
[20:40:19] wagnerrp: hardware decoding is by very definition, statically defined at the time of burning
[20:40:34] dekarl: With german broadcaster pushing 4 weeks of guide down via EIT I'm wondering if I can have this small patch applied... It makes false warnings about the xmltv grabber go away :) http://code.mythtv.org/trac/ticket/9990
[20:40:36] wagnerrp: if the video is in a format the chip supports, all is good
[20:40:49] fwest: what hardware would you suggest?
[20:40:51] wagnerrp: if the video is not in a format the chip supports, all you can do is fall back to software decoding
[20:40:58] justinh: a proper modern CPU
[20:41:06] wagnerrp: and with an Atom, you barely have enough for standard definition h264 content
[20:41:21] wagnerrp: anything HD just sits there and mocks you at two frames per second
[20:41:28] justinh: e.g. dual/quad 3Ghz ish
[20:41:54] fwest: groan
[20:42:00] wagnerrp: that stuff is multi-sliced these days?
[20:42:00] justinh: a < 2Ghz core2duo can't play BBC HD
[20:42:02] fwest: i think i will just forget it
[20:42:19] justinh: wagnerrp: yeah broadcast generally is over here AFAIK
[20:42:41] wagnerrp: what bitrate?
[20:42:50] justinh: about 11Mbit/sec IIRC
[20:42:52] mag0o: i'v enever understood where people say the atom wont handle it, I've an atom frontend w/ dish network hd and ota hd, both of which play fine on it.
[20:42:52] justinh: tops
[20:43:09] justinh: mag0o: your OTA HD is mpeg2
[20:43:35] wagnerrp: well thats not bad, something around a 2.2GHz Core2 will handle that
[20:43:46] wagnerrp: much less if its multi-sliced
[20:43:57] justinh: and the BBC are kind of notorious for messing with the freeviewHD streams to the extent that even production TVs can't handle it
[20:44:18] mag0o: justinh: that i'm not sure of really, us bcast ota
[20:44:29] justinh: mag0o: OTA in the US is definitely mpeg2
[20:44:32] wagnerrp: mag0o: anything ATSC should be handled just fine by VDPAU, assuming its a clean stream with little to no errors
[20:44:49] wagnerrp: meanwhile, DishHD means HDPVR, which means VDPAU compliant material
[20:45:09] fwest: ah i get it
[20:45:30] justinh: IIRC there've been several tickets relating to BBC HD streams causing mythtv problems for both software and hardware decoding
[20:46:18] fwest: maybe i will just run boxee
[20:46:52] mag0o: correct wagnerrp, HDPVR with the Dish
[20:46:55] justinh: boxee won't help either
[20:47:12] justinh: won't get you freeviewHD
[20:47:23] justinh: or indeed much UK-based stuff
[20:48:04] fwest: oh well
[20:48:44] fwest: i was just going for content
[20:48:47] justinh: maybe they have the iPlayer now, but even the 'hd' iPlayer stuff isn't really HD
[20:48:51] fwest: oh well screw it
[20:49:54] fwest: lovefilm's streaming stuff is so low quality it hurts
[20:50:41] justinh: most streaming stuff generally is
[20:50:57] justinh: might look ok on a 32" CRT.. but likely not on a HDTV
[20:52:13] fwest: yep
[20:53:03] fwest: in terms of cpu, i could always throw one of my xeno's at it
[20:53:42] fwest: mind you, i would have to re-cable a tv aerial into the garage
[20:53:52] wagnerrp: xeno?
[20:54:13] fwest: xeon
[20:54:29] wagnerrp: capture isnt the problem, its playback
[20:54:29] dekarl: DjMadness: Free IPTV like iPad streams of NASA TV or Al Jazeera? (it's basically a MPEG TS after all, just split and wrapped in funky http bits) If you like the VLC route plus a daemon for channel changing (I use mythbackend as the daemon) I tried to document a simple way here http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/User:Dekarl/How_to . . . ke_a_Freebox extension appreciated

[20:54:56] fwest: oh
[20:54:59] wagnerrp: as opposed to recording, which is done on the backend

[21:22:02] justinh: I zapped my music-ui.xml tonight... no point even going near it til mythmusic is rewritten

[21:50:58] sharp15: justinh: ok. thanks.
[21:50:58] justinh: that's just it. HDTV tuners just take broadcast HD & allow the system to slap the streams down onto disk. very low CPU usage
[21:51:32] sharp15: justinh: so the stream leaves the card encoded how?
[21:51:39] justinh: as it arrives over the air
[21:51:47] justinh: i.e. already compressed
[21:51:53] sharp15: oh. so they just demodulate it.
[21:52:16] justinh: yeh. demodulate.. pass over the bus... then mythtv puts it onto disk
[21:52:26] sharp15: why does the pchdtv 5500 think it needs a 1.2GHz cpu for this then?
[21:52:45] sharp15: http://www.pchdtv.com/hd_5500.html
[21:53:02] justinh: because you need a CPU capable of playing the stuff
[21:53:20] justinh: not that I think a 1.2Ghz CPU could play mpeg2 HD

[21:55:54] sharp15: and there is no way to put the decoding load on something other than the cpu? specifically something that can be turned off when not in use.
[21:56:11] justinh: the decoding is only needed for playback
[21:56:33] sharp15: i understand that.
[21:56:36] justinh: and yes, you can offload it to video hardware such as on recent nvidia cards.. but you're putting all your eggs in one basket there

[22:09:01] tweek__: the UI properly redraws itself under OpenGL mode (Qt mode still sucks)
[22:09:01] sharp15: justinh: thanks for your help. this is turning into a more general hardware discussion than i intended. i'll take it somewhere more appropriate.
[22:09:16] tweek__: everything's slightly more polished
[22:10:37] justinh: in this life you have to decide what you want.. a *good* system or one which draws very little power. that's still pretty much the way
[22:10:56] justinh: that isn't to say a *good* system will always be a power hog. God no :-)
[22:14:50] sharp15: good to know. i just don't want to have to remember to bring the machine up for automatic/pre-scheduled recording duties.
[22:15:16] justinh: you don't have to remember. you can always do automagical shutdown & wakeup :-)
[22:16:56] sharp15: wouldn't know how to do that right now. i expected i need to leave the machine up and running.
[22:17:22] justinh: well, you don't. it mustn't be that hard, cos people who come here asking for help have managed it :D
[22:20:33] sharp15: and no special hardware? so we must be talking S3/S4 sleep modes?

[22:21:38] tweek__: couldn't you try something like wake-on-LAN configured with another computer in your house?
[22:22:36] justinh: yu don't need junk like that
[22:22:55] tweek__: well, on this computer, ACPI suspend on Linux doesn't even work correctly
[22:22:55] justinh: mythbackend can do a controlled shutdown after setting a wakeup time into the PC CMOS thingy
[22:23:18] sharp15: tweek__: generally i turn my machines off. this would be the only machine 'on'.
[22:23:21] tweek__: the system never is able to resume without hard-locking
[22:23:49] tweek__: on Win7 for some reason it keeps resuming occasionally while I'm asleep. maybe scheduled maintenance?
[22:23:52] sharp15: justinh: i didn't know that was possible. thanks.
[22:24:12] justinh: I thought a shutdown/wakeup was one where it could actually power off into standby & wake up (boot) at a time set into the BIOS
[22:24:27] justinh: unless I'm very much mistaken.. that's different to ACPI stuff
[22:24:44] justinh: e.g. S3 & S4 or whatever
[22:25:02] justinh: where until very recently you'd be lucky if it ever worked properly under ANY OS
[22:25:48] sharp15: tweek__: the acpi sleep modes are still buggy on linux.
[22:26:17] justinh: http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/ACPI_Wakeup
[22:26:33] sharp15: i had suspend-to-ram working consistently on Win95 back in the day. but that came preconfigured from compaq.
[22:28:16] justinh: so from that page it looks like you don't have to STR or anything daft. a proper shutdown is ok too
[22:29:15] sharp15: STR?
[22:29:52] justinh: suspend to ram
[22:29:57] tweek__: 1080p playback mostly out-of-the-box with perfect sound
[22:30:05] tweek__: honestly after all the hell I went through the first time
[22:30:30] tweek__: rebuilding and altering alpha drivers found off of mailing lists
[22:30:44] tweek__: Nvidia's driver bringing down the system every other hour
[22:31:06] justinh: hahaha. go viddypow!
[22:31:12] tweek__: being mostly unable to see the menus and such
[22:31:21] tweek__: yeah, VDPAU working flawlessly now
[22:31:29] justinh: see how VDPAU is the great panacea? :D
[22:31:51] tweek__: if I suddenly stop whining about how bad MythTV and associated kernel modules / subsystems were
[22:32:03] tweek__: I probably kernel-panicked again
[22:32:05] justinh: the answer to every possible video decoding problem? hahaha
[22:32:38] justinh: if your kernel panics, things are very very broken on your system
[22:33:26] tweek__: happened regularly a few years ago. hardware support was pretty fking flaky

[22:35:16] tweek__: stock kernel, generic drivers
[22:35:35] tweek__: free-as-in-broken drivers, anywya
[22:36:51] justinh: I think the hardware you need to be using for drivers to be pretty bleeding new must be pretty rare these days
[22:38:26] sharp15: justinh: thank you for your help.
[22:38:38] tweek__: it's not hard to walk into any given electronics store
[22:38:50] tweek__: pick up a random piece of equipment
[22:39:01] larrikin: I used to have kernel panics when I used stock kernels, so I built my own...
[22:39:04] tweek__: and generally expect that if it has any support at all in Linux
[22:39:10] tweek__: it's going to be pretty goddamned second-rate
[22:40:00] tweek__: hell, the drivers for the TV tuner this channel recommended were an unstable mess a while ago
[22:40:03] tweek__: they're fine now
[22:40:24] justinh: the drivers this channel recommended were the only ones you could get for linux
[22:40:31] styelz (styelz!~yoohoo@m0o0.mooo.com) has joined #mythtv-users
[22:40:38] tweek__: err, the tuner recommended, not the driver
[22:40:44] justinh: because they're written by people like you & me. in their spare time, generally
[22:40:58] tweek__: Hauppauge PVR-150 ATSC/NTSC hybrid
[22:41:10] justinh: pvr150 is a plain analogue card
[22:42:12] wagnerrp: so that would make the average framegrabber "garbage"?
[22:43:02] tweek__: oh, right, that was years ago and I didn't get it
[22:43:09] tweek__: the one recommended was the HVR-1600
[22:43:18] justinh: I'm going to bed
[22:43:32] tweek__: and for $100, I've managed to record and transcode a bunch of TV with it

[22:59:43] wagnerrp: ?
[22:59:51] Twiggy2cents: I am curious, do you think this would share a chipset with anything that works with linux? http://goo.gl/52NTB

[23:00:07] Twiggy2cents: I have no intentions at all of buying, just curious

[23:03:53] wagnerrp: if you do, you take your fate into your own hands
[23:04:18] Twiggy2cents: lol plus I probably wouldnt pick up much since dvb-t isnt the standard here
[23:04:33] Twiggy2cents: It was just in the related items thing and I was curious
[23:04:36] wagnerrp: besides, arent you in the states?
[23:05:09] Twiggy2cents: yep
[23:05:35] Twiggy2cents: I just get that and a REALLY strong antenna
[23:06:53] larrikin: I looked at a few brands and haven't identified it yet ..
[23:07:52] wagnerrp: does stuff in the ~100MHz band even reflect off the ionisphere?
[23:12:18] Twiggy2cents: nope that appears to be in the radio window of which can pass through
[23:12:58] Twiggy2cents: 5MHz-30GHz passes through. Anything lower reflects and anything higher gets absorbed in the atmosphere
[23:15:00] larrikin: probably adding to global warming, all that rf energy.. ;)

[23:53:19] wagnerrp: on the linux/myth machine?
[23:54:26] jya: the one where you want jack to work
[23:54:31] wagnerrp: same output for both
[23:54:40] wagnerrp: system:capture_1 and _2
[23:54:43] jya: and that is ?
[23:54:47] jya: ok.. system then
[23:54:50] wagnerrp: system:playback_1 through _8
[23:56:30] jya: I got jack running when specifying no name (requires a patch however)
[23:57:44] jya: it still plays crap, but it's just like mplayer now ...
[23:57:47] wagnerrp: seems jack_lsp segfaults when trying to run with the network backend

[23:59:02] pyther: Yes I have a ton of mysql-bin files
[23:59:20] wagnerrp: so disable it, and trash the logs
[23:59:20] pyther: so I guess the next logical question is how do I disable the logging?
