[00:13:55] taylorr (taylorr!~taylorr@unaffiliated/elmojo) has joined #mythtv-users
[00:14:23] taylorr: devinheitmueller: the only picture control that seemed different was for hue
[00:14:38] devinheitmueller: Well, that would be a good place to start.
[00:14:41] taylorr: basically under windows hue is -30 – +30
[00:14:46] devinheitmueller: The person I talked to specifically said to look at hue.
[00:14:59] taylorr: hue of 0 is 0xF
[00:15:11] devinheitmueller: I've never actually seen a screenshot of the video myself, so I couldn't say if hue was the only problem.
[00:15:30] taylorr: hue of -30 is 0x0
[00:15:40] taylorr: hue of +30 is 0x1E

[00:15:59] sphery: wagnerrp: hehe, did you clean the tmdb page, yet
[00:16:05] sphery: protect the community and all :)
[00:16:08] taylorr: so it looks like you take the abs(hue) and right shift one bit then add or subtract from 0xF (which is zero)
[00:16:25] wagnerrp: shes not listed, so no way to know who to clean
[00:16:27] ** sphery waits for devinheitmueller to say, "hue got it" **
[00:16:35] devinheitmueller: hue got it.
[00:16:37] devinheitmueller: :-)
[00:16:48] sphery: :)
[00:16:53] devinheitmueller: That should be trivial for you to tweak the Linux driver and see if it in fact works.
[00:17:08] taylorr: devinheitmueller: I'm still wondering if the older firmware honored picture controls at all
[00:17:23] devinheitmueller: Then you just need to make it conditional on the firmware revision (the driver does report the firmware rev, but I don't know if it saves it).
[00:17:43] devinheitmueller: I don't know. You would have to load the old firmware and see if they do anything.
[00:17:59] devinheitmueller: I would assume they did though. Why else would the code have been added for them.
[00:18:16] taylorr: for testing, I've modified the driver to set the picture control registers explicitly just like the windows driver
[00:18:31] taylorr: gotta wait until 9pm to test
[00:18:41] sphery: nice, taylorr ... even though I don't use HD-PVR (no cable TV), thanks for the work on this (and, as always, thanks for your work/info/help, too, devinheitmueller ). I know it will make a lot of people happy, and make HD-PVR easier for a lot of people
[00:18:47] devinheitmueller: You can just mplayer /dev/video0 and then use v4l2-ctl to change the value and see if it adjusts...
[00:18:48] sphery: seems many didn't know about the issues with the new firmware
[00:19:03] taylorr: I'm not sure I've figured it out ye
[00:19:04] taylorr: yet
[00:19:27] sphery: well, it's progress, at least--much better than if everyone just waits for someoen else to work on it
[00:19:44] taylorr: right, when I dump the picture controls with v4l-info it gives some strange values
[00:20:07] taylorr: something close to 32k – I dunno what that is all about
[00:20:30] devinheitmueller: taylorr: they might be scaling the value from 0–0xffff,
[00:20:35] taylorr: the picture controls are just byte sized registers so I don't know how v4l could report a value more than 256
[00:20:49] taylorr: that's what it seems like they are doing
[00:20:50] somethinginteres (somethinginteres!~something@ppp29D1.dsl.pacific.net.au) has joined #mythtv-users
[00:20:55] devinheitmueller: You would have to look at the code. With 8 bit registers, it's typical to span the value across two registers.
[00:21:08] devinheitmueller: (e.g. reg1 = high 8 bits, reg2 = low 8 bits)
[00:21:09] somethinginteres: re-installed mythtv from a db backup. Everything working fine, expect: I have issues getting clear reception on ABC, a channel that was previously crystal clear. Please see: http://i.imgur.com/tGXuG.jpg
[00:21:16] sphery: somethinginteres: you sure that's a good URI? I'm getting "Bad Gateway"
[00:21:42] sphery: granted, that may well be my 'net connection (the finest-quality free wireless internet money can't buy)
[00:21:55] taylorr: devinheitmueller: I'm only seeing one-byte writes in the sniff usb logs
[00:22:00] wagnerrp: works for me
[00:22:08] sphery: they're using a squid proxy, here, and doesn't seem to be set up well
[00:22:24] somethinginteres: sphery: seems to work for me. How about: http://imgur.com/tGXuG
[00:22:31] wagnerrp: must have run out of oil and started overheating
[00:22:37] sphery: I've been fighting that plus a load-balancing internet connection that uses various IPs--which makes SPA a challenge
[00:23:03] sphery: ok, first URI worked this time
[00:23:12] devinheitmueller: taylorr: sure, on the i2c bus they might be written one byte at a time.
[00:23:17] sphery: 2nd one gave me a "Imgur is over capacity!"
[00:23:33] sphery: I think it's the borked squid setup, here
[00:24:05] sphery: anyway, not sure what would cause that issue other than true signal issues?
[00:24:19] somethinginteres: sphery: well basically audio is fine I can "see" the channel but it's covered in purple lines all over it
[00:24:30] sphery: somethinginteres: have you verified that the problem is in the recording and not in playback by playing the recording on another system in another media player
[00:24:30] taylorr: devinheitmueller: so with v4l-ctl would you set a control of 128 as 0x80 or 32k
[00:24:40] sphery: (ideally one that you know works properly for playback)
[00:24:51] somethinginteres: sphery: I haven't. I will try that
[00:25:01] kormoc (kormoc!~kormoc@mythtv/developer/kormoc) has quit (Quit: kormoc)
[00:26:06] sphery: if it's playback, I'd have some guesses on things to try to fix it
[00:26:11] somethinginteres: sphery: are you aware of the default path for Records at all?
[00:26:18] devinheitmueller: taylorr: 128 = 0x80
[00:26:23] sphery: it's defined by your storage groups
[00:26:35] sphery: easiest way to see the list of all paths is to go to the Backend Status page
[00:26:48] sphery: http://<backendhostnameoripaddress>:6544/
[00:27:04] somethinginteres: sphery: thanks
[00:27:05] sphery: I think it's 6544...
[00:27:16] sphery: look at the storage area for list of dirs
[00:27:56] sphery: "Disk Usage Details", it seems
[00:28:16] somethinginteres: sphery: found it. Will test now.
[00:31:06] somethinginteres: sphery: OK it seems to be clear in Totem Media Player
[00:32:16] somethinginteres: sphery: had to use /var/lib/mythtv/livetv as I'd deleted the botched recordings last night but I assume they're identical.
[00:32:47] sphery: somethinginteres: OK, let's try going into Utilities/Setup|Setup|TV Settings|Playback, 3rd screen and changing your Playback Profile group
[00:33:06] sphery: If you have VDPAU support and nvidia proprietary drivers, choose VDPAU Slim
[00:33:09] sphery: if not, choose Slim
[00:35:33] somethinginteres: sphery: seems to fix it. Let me just check the second channel I was having issue with. FYI the Profile was set to "CPU+"
[00:36:09] sphery: yeah, CPU+ is a terrible one--but, unfortunately, due to a bug in the old setting code, ends up as the one selected by default
[00:36:42] sphery: fwiw, that bug is fixed, now--because CPU+ (and CPU-- and CPU++) was removed (starting with 0.25)
[00:36:51] sphery: i.e. will be fixed in next version
[00:38:01] sphery: anyway, glad you got it working
[00:38:37] Oleg_: my Dad asks me if this thing will work with a set-top box from a cable company: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003IPC1WE
[00:39:38] wagnerrp: if you can run mythtv on an STB?
[00:39:39] Oleg_: if it's a qam tuner, it means it will work with a set-top box from a cable company?
[00:39:45] wagnerrp: or if you can get mythtv to record from an STB?
[00:39:48] devinheitmueller: Oleg_: analog support isn't implemented under Linux.
[00:39:58] Oleg_: no, my Dad runs Windows
[00:40:12] devinheitmueller: And ClearQAM only works for unencrypted cable.
[00:40:17] wagnerrp: oh, that device...
[00:40:36] wagnerrp: cable boxes do not output ATSC or QAM
[00:40:45] wagnerrp: its just crappy standard definition analog NTSC
[00:41:29] Oleg_: so, he won't be able to watch cable channels with this thing?
[00:41:49] wagnerrp: he can connect it directly to the wall, and get the clear qam (local broadcast) channels
[00:41:56] somethinginteres: sphery: well thanks for your help. Can I ask what was causing it that was fixed by the Profile change?
[00:42:14] wagnerrp: he can connect it to the cable box and get whatever channel the box is outputting in analog, but only in windows, not mythtv/linux

[00:43:18] sphery: somethinginteres: XvMC was likely the cause--it's a very old approach to offloading some (what turns out to be a small part) of video decoding to the GPU
[00:43:40] sphery: VDPAU is the right way to do video decoding offload--but requires a new-enough nvidia card and nvidia proprietary drivers
[00:44:02] earthnative (earthnative!~nemo@ppp118-208-15-231.lns20.bne1.internode.on.net) has joined #mythtv-users
[00:44:05] Oleg_: wagnerrp, but how will he able to receive qam channels if the cable company he's subscribed to uses a set-top box?
[00:44:26] wagnerrp: Oleg_: what provider do you have?
[00:44:30] sphery: if you don't have that, Slim will give you software decode on the CPU with an efficient (but still old--20+ years old) transfer to video card for scaling
[00:44:31] Oleg_: he has cablevision
[00:45:04] wagnerrp: im just going to take a blind guess, and say everything but the local broadcast channels will be encrypted
[00:45:14] wagnerrp: he can access the local channels unencrypted with a QAM tuner

[00:45:24] jams: well look at that xig no longer sells their version of X to end users.
[00:45:39] sphery: Oleg_: see, also, http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Recording_Digital_Cable
[00:45:41] devinheitmueller: Oleg_: the problem is that more and more of the QAM channels are encrypted, requiring a cable card. If you want to do encrypted channels you need an HDHomeRun Prime or a Hauppauge DCR-2650
[00:45:45] wagnerrp: everything else will have to be decrypted and decoded by the cable box, output over analog NTSC, and captured in analog by that device
[00:46:02] somethinginteres: sphery: right. No VDPAU for me unfortunately :)
[00:46:19] sphery: hehe, well, if you have the cpu for software decode, it works fine
[00:47:06] sphery: I only switched to a vdpau-capable GPU recently (though I still use software decode because it's more forgiving than the hardware decode)
[00:47:57] somethinginteres: sphery: yeah :)

[00:48:55] wagnerrp: sort of
[00:49:09] wagnerrp: it is accessed through an internal network
[00:49:20] wagnerrp: and there is a linux version of the network libraries to access it

[00:49:42] Oleg_: but hdhomerun prime is better supported?
[00:49:56] wagnerrp: the HDHomeRun (and DCR-2650) are one of the few devices mythtv has direct support for
[00:50:04] jpabq- (jpabq-!~jpabq@174-28-167-122.albq.qwest.net) has joined #mythtv-users
[00:50:05] wagnerrp: the DCR-2650 /is/ a HDHomeRun Prime
[00:51:36] Oleg_: any encrypted and premium channel can be captured with it?
[00:52:25] wagnerrp: mythtv can only access channels marked 'copy freely' over it
[00:52:49] wagnerrp: mythtv does not (and can not) support DRM, so it is not authorized to access any content that is copy protected
[00:53:01] wagnerrp: however note that copy protection and encryption are completely independent
[00:53:19] wagnerrp: unencrypted channels can be copy protected, and encrypted channels can be accessed through the HDHR
[00:58:12] Oleg_: ok, speaking of that pinnacle usb stick, Dad will have to pay his usual monthly fee to cablevision just to access unencrypted local qam channels? well, in this case, he doesn't need it
[01:01:44] taylorr: devinheitmueller: the default picture controls for each channel at all set to 32768... even for hue
[01:02:35] dougl (dougl!~doug@S01060018f3992b5d.wp.shawcable.net) has joined #mythtv-users
[01:04:42] devinheitmueller: taylorr: are you talking about the v4l2 controls, or the underlying registers?
[01:05:05] devinheitmueller: You'll probably have to look at the underlying code and see how they are correlated. 32768 is halfway between 0–65535
[01:07:07] taylorr: devinheitmueller: I finally found v4l-ctl in ivtv-utils
[01:07:17] taylorr: looked all through the v4l packages
[01:07:48] taylorr: I'm noticing that we don't apply the picture controls that are configured for each channel
[01:08:14] taylorr: and it appears that the picture control values are exactly what it is set to in the driver
[01:08:30] taylorr: so it doesn't seem that myth is doing anything picture control wise
[01:10:02] taylorr: fyi, I'm discussing with jpabq over in #mythtv

[01:26:41] sphery: I hate round-robin-IP load-balancing of network connections... Makes it hard to connect to my Single-Packet-Authorization-protected network.
[01:26:45] taylorr: devinheitmueller: got it figured out – picture controls for 0x15 are ignored by the firmware – the reason 0x17 was busted is because the default picture control values in the driver were wrong
[01:27:14] wagnerrp: the intelligent world hates round-robin-ip load balancing of network connections
[01:28:12] sphery: I'm guessing it's just cheaper for them to get 3x cable connections rather than one slightly-better connection or something?

[03:44:01] Beirdo: ummm, because it's funky? :)
[03:44:13] wagnerrp: looks like all it did was 'git clone'
[03:44:14] Beirdo: that is part of what git pull uses, I believe
[03:44:24] Beirdo: or clone, yeah
[03:44:26] Beirdo: not sure
[03:44:43] wagnerrp: but its got each and every tag it is fetching on the command line
[03:44:45] wagnerrp: its funky
[03:44:54] wagnerrp: the command line is like 1000 characters long
[03:44:56] Beirdo: you'd have to ask the person who wrote that part of the ebuild code :)
[03:45:10] Beirdo: seems rather silly to me
[03:45:11] wagnerrp: im saying i dont think its the ebuild doing it, i think its git
[03:45:34] Beirdo: ummm, dunno about that
[03:45:49] Beirdo: try doing a git clone by hand and check ps?
[03:46:36] Beirdo: hmmmmm.
[03:46:56] Beirdo: I'm tempted to use C++ instead of C for this.
[03:46:57] Beirdo: so sad
[03:47:05] wagnerrp: what are you doing?
[03:47:27] Beirdo: architecture planning for the GPU-based commflag attempt
[03:48:03] wagnerrp: i wonder if it would be better to just manually clone this the first time, so the ebuild doesnt try to do so subsequently
[03:55:19] wagnerrp: my new argument the next time i come across a vegan... http://www.smbc-comics.com/index.php?db=comics&id=2393#comic
[03:55:43] jpabq: Beirdo, thanks!
[03:56:30] earthnative: wagnerrp: no vegan would acept the statement in panel2
[03:56:32] [R]: wagnerrp: im gonna send it to my vegan friend
[03:57:07] wagnerrp: earthnative: you mean, they deny reality and replace it with their own?
[03:57:25] earthnative: (I dated a pretty activist vegan for a while, I heard this specific argument a few times)
[03:57:53] earthnative: the vegan argument is the deliberateness of the death
[03:58:20] earthnative: you can't not kill the animals-for-meat by improving the farming practices

[03:58:56] earthnative: to think that the argument has any validity is to totally miss the point of most vegans

[04:16:11] Beirdo: oO
[04:16:30] wagnerrp: nevermind
[04:16:55] wagnerrp: ive been screwing around with my init script, and rebuilding kernels, for several hours to figure out why this one system wont connect to the network properly
[04:17:08] [R]: they can say the s word on comedy central?
[04:17:23] wagnerrp: which is baffling because it boots off PXE, and pulls the kernel itself just fine
[04:17:27] Beirdo: [R]: yes. South Park proved that
[04:17:34] [R]: im watching south park right now
[04:17:41] wagnerrp: well digging around underneath the desk, i found a disconnected ethernet cable
[04:17:50] wagnerrp: which i momentarily thought was plugged into that machine
[04:17:56] wagnerrp: and hence causing all my problems
[04:17:59] Beirdo: wagnerrp: OMG.
[04:18:01] Beirdo: hehe
[04:18:17] wagnerrp: ... and then i realized that it was booting off PXE, and grabbing the kernel just fine
[04:18:22] Beirdo: if you were a monkey, you'd be flinging poo at the computer right now
[04:18:23] wagnerrp: so that was clearly not the problem
[04:18:43] wagnerrp: the detached wire went to the computer next to it

[05:34:35] Beirdo: OK, main loop for loading the file and queuing frames will loosely be based on ffmpeg (CLI tool) mainline, I think
[05:35:19] wagnerrp: seems whatever problem i was having is resolved in 306
[05:35:25] wagnerrp: lets try the other machine...
[05:38:39] wagnerrp: no such luck
[05:39:53] wagnerrp: oh, because i had a e1000 in there for testing, and its using the wrong NIC
[05:40:30] Beirdo: that could do it

[05:47:56] Beirdo: Computers really suck at times
[05:48:11] wagnerrp: its back to doing the funky 20-second timeout
[05:48:15] wagnerrp: still not sure about that one
[05:48:48] wagnerrp: the init script starts around 5 seconds, and attempts to bring up the NIC
[05:49:07] wagnerrp: the NIC doesnt go live until 20.4 seconds
[05:49:15] Beirdo: odd
[05:49:25] wagnerrp: very consistently
[05:49:34] wagnerrp: like to a few tens of milliseconds each time
[05:49:36] Beirdo: you might wanna tcpdump capture at the server and see if there's anything odd n there
[05:49:52] wagnerrp: what good would tcpdump do?
[05:50:03] Beirdo: arps... etc
[05:50:33] wagnerrp: i mean its right around 20.4 when the forcedeth driver reports the card is active
[05:50:39] Beirdo: I dunno. can't hurt to see what's on the wire, but it may not help either
[05:50:40] Beirdo: oooooh
[05:50:45] Beirdo: that's odd
[05:52:24] wagnerrp: this system was the reason i set up the retry loop in the init script in the first place
[05:54:46] Beirdo: OK, OK. I think I might just use Qt...
[05:54:48] Beirdo: BAH
[05:55:20] Beirdo: it's either that or import my own queues... but since we are already using Qt heavily...
[05:55:49] wagnerrp: going CUDA or OpenCL?
[05:55:58] Beirdo: OpenCL, I think
[05:56:09] Beirdo: which uses CUDA on nvidia cards anyways
[05:56:27] wagnerrp: dont want to draw the ire of users complaining were a bunch of nvidia shills?
[05:56:28] wagnerrp: :)
[05:56:36] Beirdo: but that would give the most chance of using AMD or Intel later too
[05:56:38] Beirdo: hehe
[05:56:47] Beirdo: yeah that too a bit
[05:56:48] wagnerrp: intel?
[05:56:50] ** wagnerrp chuckles **

[05:57:54] wagnerrp: i know they extract the decoded frames as an opengl buffer
[05:58:04] wagnerrp: when using vdpau and vaapi
[05:58:06] Beirdo: yeah, it's not hard.
[05:58:15] wagnerrp: the way their UI is configured demands it
[05:58:16] Beirdo: cool, I'll reference them.
[05:58:37] Beirdo: yeah, it's not hard, but it's also not well documented in many places :)

[06:02:37] wagnerrp: yeah... i dont feel like waiting for the system to finish compiling all this crap
[06:02:42] wagnerrp: im going to bed too
[06:03:06] Beirdo: oh, I poisoned it enough on the weekend
[06:03:08] wagnerrp: be nice if i could one-shot the whole thing
[06:03:21] wagnerrp: ive got most of the big parts to do that written
[06:03:31] wagnerrp: but im missing a lot of tweaking and a bit of glue
[06:04:50] Beirdo: UGH
[06:04:56] Beirdo: I just had a horrid thought
[06:04:59] wagnerrp: ive got to log into the build machine, mount a bunch of iscsi and nfs paths, chroot in, generate new ebuilds to update myth, rebuild world, then shut everything down and cycle the images
[06:05:23] Beirdo: I need to use PTS for all the queuing to match up to the audio
[06:05:48] Beirdo: and frame number on the video frames to generate the commflag map in the end
[06:06:07] Beirdo: (I hope to do audio processing in the commflag runs)

[18:59:18] justinh: Oleg_: drivers often don't report signal conditions the way mythtv expects them to
[18:59:42] justinh: FWIW you should ignore whatever mythtv claims because of this

[19:00:00] justinh: then again I dunno if anybody's ever opened a ticket for it
[19:01:05] justinh: femon is about the only reliable way I know, but even then you have to know how to interpret the numbers it outputs
[19:01:31] justinh: part of the problem is that different tuners measure signal level different way, so I was once told
[19:01:49] Oleg_: this usb stick even has a trial version of mpeg-4 for recording, which is compatible with ipod and psp

[20:23:22] Oleg_: of course
[20:23:40] wagnerrp: well a lot of users seem to think running everything in VMs is a good idea
[20:23:44] Oleg_: I mean, I don't run them in virtual machines
[20:23:55] justinh: so multibooting a mythtv system? rather you than me
[20:23:57] wagnerrp: with no real clue as to what VMs actually do or dont do
[20:27:17] Oleg_: of course, I boot them physically
[20:27:19] justinh: aren't they the answer to all problems? security, stability, flexibility?
[20:27:37] justinh: still, multibooting a mythtv system? can only lead to disappointment IMHO
[20:28:15] Oleg_: if everything works fine, there should be no disappointment
[20:28:35] wagnerrp: security? any decent border security will mean your VM will only be able to be compromised by someone who knows what theyre doing
[20:28:47] wagnerrp: in which case they will likely be able to come up with a way to break out of the vm
[20:29:07] wagnerrp: stability? if the machine crashes, it crashes... whether that is a physical or virtual machine
[20:29:17] justinh: Oleg_: I mean, whoops.. I was still running the other OS when a recording was due to be started
[20:29:33] wagnerrp: sure, it wont take down everything else running on that system, but its pretty damn hard for an application to panic the kernel
[20:29:46] justinh: wagnerrp: okay so why do so many people have a misguided view about VMs?
[20:30:05] wagnerrp: flexibility? youre no more flexible than tossing around a disk image and chrooting into it
[20:30:31] justinh: all this, I already know. which is why I'm always puzzled by people clamouring to get busy with VMs at home
[20:30:46] Oleg_: in the past, I had a vm installed because I wanted to play Ubisoft chess on linux
[20:30:56] wagnerrp: justinh: because containerization is a nice ability
[20:31:11] wagnerrp: and VM solutions are the only containerization solutions that heavily advertise
[20:31:48] wagnerrp: you cant sell jails or vservers because theyre an integrated part of the free operating system
[20:31:52] Oleg_: ok, now configuring the access to mythconverg database

[23:27:12] Beirdo: I will not allow such shenanigans.
[23:27:27] wagnerrp: probably wouldnt be so bad without the bassy death metal
[23:27:31] Beirdo: the overhead lighting at work seems about 4 times brighter than it should be
[23:27:40] Beirdo: no, actually, that HELPS

[23:28:17] mattwj2002: any way I could get some help with mythexport?
[23:28:56] Beirdo: yay, another third-party exporter?
[23:28:56] wagnerrp: try #mythbuntu
[23:29:26] mattwj2002: is that a mythbuntu only thing?
[23:29:30] wagnerrp: yes
[23:29:33] mattwj2002: ok
[23:30:20] lapion: is mytharchive 3rd party as well ?
[23:30:28] wagnerrp: no
[23:30:33] wagnerrp: just largely unused
[23:30:40] Beirdo: no, that's an official plugin, but it needs some love
[23:30:51] lapion: and mytharchive can be used to import aswell ?
[23:31:03] Beirdo: not that I recall
[23:31:05] wagnerrp: mytharchive can import stuff created by mytharchive
[23:31:09] Beirdo: ahhh
[23:31:27] lapion: import into myth-recordings ?
[23:31:32] wagnerrp: i believe so
[23:31:52] wagnerrp: northern irish man jailed after failed alchemy experiment
[23:32:06] Beirdo: oh?
[23:32:19] wagnerrp: seems he piled a large amount of feces and fertilizer in his basement, on a portable heater
[23:32:30] wagnerrp: he burned down several homes
[23:32:32] Beirdo: ummm.
[23:32:47] Beirdo: making biogas in your basement... bad.
[23:32:50] wagnerrp: yes
[23:33:04] wagnerrp: he was trying to make /gold/ out of a gallon of his own feces
[23:33:08] Beirdo: memorable, but bad
[23:33:13] Beirdo: gold!?
[23:33:14] wagnerrp: not biogas, gold
[23:33:17] Beirdo: hahahaha
[23:33:22] wagnerrp: i did say alchemy
[23:33:38] lapion: but... biogas.... IS...... gold
[23:33:38] Beirdo: sorry, dude. You'll get CH4 and CO2 and some H2S
[23:34:02] Beirdo: and a rather large explosion if you're not careful :)
[23:34:17] wagnerrp: hydrogen sulfide? didnt know we had a lot of sulfur in our systems

[23:35:14] wagnerrp: it just has that s--t smell
[23:35:30] Beirdo: hehe :) I guess it all depends on what you eat
[23:35:52] Beirdo: onions have fairly high Sulphur content, IIRC
[23:36:23] Beirdo: especially raw
[23:36:44] wagnerrp: most of the time i use onions, theyre sauted
[23:36:51] Beirdo: :)
[23:36:58] Beirdo: smart move
[23:37:14] wagnerrp: everyone loves carmelization
[23:37:24] lapion: so that's why all toilets have that yelowy color
[23:37:43] Beirdo: lapion: no, that's because people are too lazy to flush
[23:37:47] Beirdo: duh ;)
[23:38:15] lapion: sulfur-gas...neon-yellow
[23:38:41] Beirdo: dude, if you have that in your toilet, you are .... hosed.
[23:39:04] lapion: just add electrodes and the toilet could light the home for a month
[23:39:38] wagnerrp: add some oxygen, and have your toilet melt through the floor
[23:39:56] Beirdo: H2SO4... not THAT bad... oh wait! :)
[23:40:35] lapion: time for beddy bye....
[23:40:51] Beirdo: at 4:40pm. :) Nice hours.
[23:40:53] Beirdo: heh

[23:41:15] wagnerrp: sulfide
[23:41:20] lapion: it's 01:41 so past 00:00
[23:41:30] wagnerrp: sulfite is H2SO3
[23:41:49] Beirdo: H2SO4 is sulfuric acid
[23:41:56] wagnerrp: which is sulfate
[23:41:59] Beirdo: yummy battery acid
[23:42:11] Beirdo: yeah, usually forms sulfates
[23:42:37] wagnerrp: no, i mean chemically... SO4 is sulfate, SO3 is sulfite
[23:42:46] wagnerrp: S is just sulfide
[23:42:58] Beirdo: S is elemental sulfur :)
[23:43:06] wagnerrp: the suffix determines the oxygenation
[23:43:12] Beirdo: yup
[23:43:12] wagnerrp: i mean when part of a molecule
[23:43:20] Beirdo: been a while, but that I do remember
[23:43:38] ** Beirdo wants to play with chemistry again sometime **

[23:53:45] lapion: found all about it on the big great wikipedia
[23:54:06] Oleg_: wagnerrp, any idea why I can't detect any channels with this tuner on linux or freebsd?
[23:54:25] wagnerrp: the tuner or the drivers are broken
[23:54:31] wagnerrp: or your antenna is too weak
[23:54:34] Oleg_: on windows, it detected channels
[23:54:47] wagnerrp: then its possibly a driver issue
[23:55:00] wagnerrp: if you cant get it working on linux, there is no point to even trying on freebsd
[23:55:33] Beirdo: I'd forgotten how much I liked this song.
[23:55:40] Beirdo: Metallica – Orion
[23:56:00] wagnerrp: was that on ride the lightning?
[23:56:10] wagnerrp: its primarily instrumental isnt it?
[23:56:16] Beirdo: Master of Puppets, and yes, instrumental
[23:56:55] wagnerrp: ah, MoP... only one year later
[23:57:27] Oleg_: ok, rebooting

[23:57:57] lapion: Oleg_, If you are using analog, forget about it you have to manually enter the frequencies, I have tried several cards with differing chipsets none of them ca scan channels under recent mythtv 23.x and 24.x, have not tried a recent 25.x though
[23:57:59] Beirdo: they had a few good songs since, but very few
[23:58:02] wagnerrp: but nooooo... it was napster that was causing their decline in sales
[23:59:01] Beirdo: "some critics have called Master of Puppets the best metal album ever recorded" – from Steve Huey of Allmusic
