[00:34:36] wagnerrp: high-rez: do you already have the hardware? or are you looking to purchase?
[00:41:13] high-rez: wagnerrp: I'm semi considering.  :)
[00:41:32] wagnerrp: if you havent purchased yet, stick with nvidia, or at least avoid amd
[00:41:37] high-rez: I'd like a nice fanless frontend (e.g. low powered) for th bedroom...
[00:41:59] high-rez: wagnerrp: AMD/ATi drivers are still that bad eh?
[00:42:28] wagnerrp: unless youre referring to some mobile 4500MHD system, youre not likely to find an intel VAAPI system that doesnt have plenty of CPU power that you dont need it
[00:42:49] high-rez: I was thinking of the fusion platform.
[00:43:10] wagnerrp: i gag as i tell you you're better off with an ION
[00:43:26] high-rez: :)
[00:45:09] high-rez: I hate that. I really like my ION system, just because it lacks moving parts. Wish there was a real competition.
[00:45:24] wagnerrp: there is, if youre using windows
[00:45:47] high-rez: It seems that the nvidia guys really came out and engaged the community. Not so much for AMD/ATi
[00:45:51] high-rez: wagnerrp: What is that?
[00:46:00] high-rez: (I'm not consdering windows, but curious to know : -)
[00:46:05] wagnerrp: because windows has good AMD graphics drivers
[00:46:20] high-rez: Ahhh, sure, and its possible to use dxva, right?
[00:46:45] wagnerrp: in general, yes
[00:46:53] wagnerrp: mythtv supports dxva, but it doesnt get much use
[00:46:56] wagnerrp: i dont know how capable it is
[00:47:17] high-rez: Yeah. I am jack's lack of interest in a windows based frontend.
[00:47:46] wagnerrp: yeah, well... just stay out of the soap business
[00:48:05] ** high-rez steals lipo fat **
[00:49:48] high-rez: I even looked into wmc, then i realized how the extender platform was implemented and lost all interest. Myth's just a superior design.
[00:52:21] high-rez: Alright. I guess I'll go home – maybe my cec adapters will be waiting for me.  :)

[02:42:25] jheizer: so that is why
[02:43:28] jheizer: not sure if that did fix it for sure, but none fromt hat rime period worked, while now they seem to mostly

[03:22:47] sphery: jheizer: based on your description, sounds like you have a seriously underpowered backend system that's unable to keep up with I/O requirements
[03:23:23] sphery: jheizer: or you're running your system with MySQL data on a file system that's using ext4 with barriers and, therefore, your mysql performance is insufficient
[03:23:40] jheizer: hmmm
[03:23:43] jheizer: ext4 yes

[03:24:21] zombor (zombor!~zombor_@kohana/developer/zombor) has quit (Remote host closed the connection)
[03:24:28] sphery: i.e. the problem is not the recording codec or the seek table or even near-real-time commercial detection, but is that your system can't keep up and then messes up recordings and data
[03:25:22] jheizer: I/O was my only guess with why after disabling the immediate commflag seemed to make things better
[03:25:26] sphery: jheizer: read posts linked in http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/mythtv/users/493259#493259
[03:25:42] jheizer: but still totally lost on why I can skip away on ym windows client but not my linux or osx
[03:26:22] jheizer: stupid ext4, why did I reinstall with you
[03:26:23] wagnerrp: windows using dxva, and possibly not using the database seek tables
[03:26:32] jheizer: ahh
[03:29:54] jheizer: barrier=0 all mounts and rebooting
[03:30:18] jheizer: guessing th eother recordings are stuck ever with this updated as since rebuild index was already failing, but can give it a try again

[05:35:52] Oleg_: what if I don't want to tune to virtual channels, but want to tune to physical channels?
[05:36:08] Oleg_: for example, the physical channel of NBC is 28
[05:36:09] wagnerrp: huh?
[05:36:17] Oleg_: at least in New York City that's how it is
[05:36:29] wagnerrp: the 'physical channel' is not something you can watch
[05:36:34] Oleg_: really?
[05:36:42] wagnerrp: its a compressed data stream
[05:37:03] wagnerrp: carrying anywhere from zero to potentially dozens of channels
[05:37:29] wagnerrp: you need a physical channel, and a program id
[05:38:20] Oleg_: but virtual channels are not real
[05:38:51] wagnerrp: i dont understand what you're getting at
[05:39:35] Oleg_: ok, it looks like I am not that knowledgeable about this stuff
[05:40:18] wagnerrp: lets take for example my local NBC station
[05:40:27] wagnerrp: it broadcasts on channel 35
[05:40:38] Oleg_: but I noticed mythtv-setup only looks for physical channels, not for virtual channels
[05:41:15] wagnerrp: inside that broadcast, there is the normal NBC video feed, and there is also the standard definition video feed they use for weather and news
[05:41:23] wagnerrp: ABC does the same thing
[05:41:43] wagnerrp: my local CBS broadcasts both CBS and CW on the same physical channel
[05:41:53] wagnerrp: my local FOX carries THIS
[05:42:15] wagnerrp: my local PBS station has half a dozen virtual channels all on that one physical channel
[05:42:57] wagnerrp: on digital cable, you have about double the amount of bandwidth per physical channel to play around with
[05:43:51] wagnerrp: so for me, both the primary feeds for NBC and CBS, plus the weather feed for NBC, and a handful of standard definition channels all come in on physical channel 104 (i think)

[05:47:12] Oleg_: but you said that CBS and CW are broadcast on the same physical channel in your area
[05:48:44] Oleg_: so, it's CBS, CW, and NBC that are broadcast on the same channel in your area?
[05:50:49] wagnerrp: no, i am recording channels rebroadcast through my cable subscription
[05:51:06] wagnerrp: the cable company is remixing those channels at their discression
[05:51:44] wagnerrp: so while CBS and CW are on the same physical channel for broadcast, they are on different physical channels for cable
[05:52:05] wagnerrp: since they exist as independent data streams within the multiplex
[05:52:06] Oleg_: oic
[05:52:31] wagnerrp: when people talk about recording multiple virtual channels within the same multiplex simultaneously
[05:52:36] wagnerrp: that is what they are talking about
[05:52:50] wagnerrp: they get multiple channels within the same physical channel
[05:53:17] wagnerrp: and since the physical channel is what is tuned, you get all the data streams (virtual channels) contained therein
[05:53:34] Oleg_: ic

[06:43:52] wagnerrp: if anything, that would be included as the subtitle

[06:45:03] wagnerrp: season 5?
[06:45:17] wagnerrp: did they restart numbering at some point?
[06:45:26] wagnerrp: i would have figured that to be in season 40something
[06:45:30] xris: sesame_street.s05e01.episode_536.m4v gets parsed as "sesame street s05e:
[06:45:48] xris: they really did have more than 100 episodes per season back in the 70s

[06:49:20] wagnerrp: yeah, the regex is choking when it finds the 'episode'

[07:54:05] dekarl: I thought you upgrade your stuff to attract the favored sex ;)
[07:57:49] dekarl: justinh, what does that mean? "for me installing a complete mythbuntu system is an hours work"
[07:57:49] dekarl: is it up to around an hour for the complete setup from scratch, or is it lots of hours?
[07:58:44] justinh: around an hour for the whole install from scratch
[07:58:54] justinh: if you know what you're doing :-)
[07:58:59] wagnerrp: with a sufficiently fast system, i could probably get an install running in under an hour
[07:59:23] justinh: especially if you have supported hardware (IR gear etc)
[07:59:47] dekarl: ok, that's my experience, too. reinstalled earlier this year to see how it (Mythbuntu) works out-of-the-box without fiddling.
[07:59:56] justinh: but if you're an awkward bugger like me, who uses a universal remote – no ready-made config file will ever do
[08:00:33] justinh: you can still mess up a mythbuntu install pretty easily though. Like if you just plough on through it blindly dismissing dialogs
[08:00:46] justinh: but that isn't mythbuntu's fault
[08:00:55] dekarl: ahh, but so will you when installing this WMC
[08:01:42] justinh: yup
[08:02:19] justinh: so what's with all this upgrading things for no reason? Do people think it'll make them better in bed – is that it?
[08:02:29] dekarl: I think so.
[08:02:44] wagnerrp: each patch gives you half an inch!
[08:02:55] dekarl: that would be cool spam :D
[08:03:04] Beirdo: hahah
[08:03:20] dekarl: The only reason for upgrades would be "see if it works and fix the bugs on the new version"
[08:04:44] dekarl: Users are funny "no, I'm not doing a channel scan, it's to risky!" and then wander off and hit "go distro upgrade"
[08:05:03] Scopeuk-AFK is now known as Scopeuk
[08:05:16] justinh: yeah because most distros are so damn unstable we're all just twitching to upgrade
[08:05:44] ** wagnerrp finds his upgrades to be a zero risk proposition **
[08:06:00] justinh: I find them an inconvenience more than anything else
[08:06:34] justinh: I dist upgrade when I replace the root HDD in my backend before it dies (hopefully *before* it dies)
[08:06:40] wagnerrp: i mean for me, reverting an upgrade is no further than a 60 second reboot
[08:06:45] dekarl: wagnerrp: but you're using freebsd :)
[08:07:00] wagnerrp: one of my backends, and all my frontends, run gentoo
[08:07:10] wagnerrp: only the master and fileserver run bsd
[08:07:37] wagnerrp: of course for the master backend, reverting is more like 15 seconds
[08:07:52] justinh: so what.. do you have multiple partitions for the revisions or something?
[08:08:05] dekarl: sounds like filesystem snapshots
[08:08:19] wagnerrp: my backend lives in a jail (like vservers)
[08:08:30] justinh: yeah but restoring a FS snapshot in 60 secs would be good going
[08:08:37] wagnerrp: sitting in its own snapshotted zfs filesystem
[08:09:18] wagnerrp: takes about a second to terminate the jail, maybe ten more to recursively roll back the filesystem, and another couple more to start the jail back up and restart the backend
[08:09:42] wagnerrp: my gentoo boxes are on iscsi disk images
[08:09:52] wagnerrp: and i keep the last three images
[08:09:54] justinh: sounds interesting. could be a good way to evaluate master periodically – even with a remote frontend if you go diskless
[08:10:22] wagnerrp: so i just select a different image from the pxelinux menu and boot into the old version
[08:10:28] dekarl: note to self, fix mythbuntu-control-center's diskless server plugin...
[08:13:08] justinh: how big is a filesystem image then?

[08:25:54] justinh: anyway, running mythbackend (note I said BACKEND not mythtv – running video playback in a VM is likely going to suck) in a VM... like installing mythbackend on any other system – but with the added complexity of having to manage VM images. If you can even call it complexity.
[08:25:56] dekarl: backend+mysql has allocated 1.2gb after a goo week with 300mb really in memory, I'd not call that a memory hog. (4 DVB cards and like 50 channels with 3–4 weeks of guide data)

[11:47:17] CiaranG: Hmm, ok, thanks. Wonder why it's not working for me then
[11:47:30] justinh: tried restarting mythfrontend?
[11:47:46] justinh: or just backing out of mythvideo completely & then going back in?
[11:47:51] CiaranG: Yeah. And tried a front end that wasn't even powered up when I added the file
[11:48:01] justinh: permissions?
[11:48:05] CiaranG: Checked
[11:48:25] CiaranG: The only difference is I called mine the name of the folder (.png) – I will try folder.png just in case the documentation is lying
[11:48:47] justinh: no it has to be called *folder* . png/gif/jpg
[11:48:52] justinh: not the name of the folder
[11:49:12] CiaranG: Oh, ha
[11:49:16] CiaranG: I can't read can I, lol
[11:49:17] justinh: the wiki article doesn't say NOT to make the file called the $FOLDERNAME but folder
[11:49:34] CiaranG: Right, it works now, thanks :)
[11:49:58] CiaranG: "As a fallback, you can place any image in the folder and it will be used" <--- that bit is clearly not true though, right?
[11:50:58] justinh: apparently not
[11:51:10] justinh: any image, so long as it's called folder.* :P
[12:04:43] justinh: LOL. "explain how to bring up the menu containing 'Scan For Changes'". Yeah. PRESS MENU. Idiot
[12:05:00] justinh: "explain how to press a button". Doofus
[12:05:24] CiaranG: Well I guess if you have a keyboard, you have to know that 'M' is Menu
[12:06:05] CiaranG: I don't have any dedicated remotes, just wireless keyboards
[12:06:13] justinh: eew
[12:06:19] CiaranG: Which is kind of stupid because they get dropped on the floor all the time and need replacing
[12:06:58] justinh: I originally thought I'd need a wireless mouse & keyboard – but without web browsing you can totally get by for *years* without
[12:07:22] CiaranG: I do use mythmote quite a lot as well

[12:11:13] CiaranG: I can't imagine what you'd use a mouse for. But none of my mythtv systems are *just* mythtv systems, so they all do have a mouse, which occasionally gets used

[15:26:28] wagnerrp: justinh: since im using all COW storage, it really doesnt take that much
[15:27:06] wagnerrp: the base image is 5GB, a 4GB JFS partition, and 1GB of swap
[15:27:47] wagnerrp: kernel source and portage scratch space are in separate images, and the portage tree is NFS mounted
[15:27:55] wagnerrp: so im only using about half that
[15:28:48] wagnerrp: each 'emerge world' eats up maybe 100–200MB of space
[15:29:38] wagnerrp: the base image is then cloned (free) for each of three systems, and a couple of config files are overlayed to differentiate each

[15:30:15] wagnerrp: so log files and theme cache
[15:30:31] jedix: hey, anyone have a good line to use to encode HD shows to mkv's? probably using h264 and some high quality audio?
[15:30:40] wagnerrp: swap never gets used, so its generally a few dozen to a few hundred MB
[15:30:51] wagnerrp: jedix: why?
[15:31:14] jedix: wagnerrp: because my recorded hd shows are about 7–8gb/hours after commercials are cut
[15:31:29] jedix: I'd like to archive a smaller version
[15:31:38] wagnerrp: until this recent hard drive scarcity due to flooding, you really didnt save that much in expense

[15:31:56] wagnerrp: when you compare the cost of storage, to the electrical cost of compressing that content
[15:32:52] jedix: well, you do back it up
[15:33:06] jedix: right?
[15:33:12] wagnerrp: ATSC is at maximum 8.7GB/hr, and clipping commercials is going to cut out at least 30% of that, so 6GB/hr
[15:33:18] wagnerrp: not 7–8
[15:33:33] wagnerrp: i archive to a RAID array, yes
[15:33:45] jedix: I only have 142G free
[15:34:09] wagnerrp: if it were a month ago, i would have told yo to buy another hard drive
[15:34:13] wagnerrp: what CPU do you have?
[15:34:33] jedix: yeah, I'll buy that.. shows are about 5–6gb, you're right
[15:34:52] jedix: Q6600
[15:35:22] wagnerrp: so, youre running a fairly old C2Q
[15:35:32] wagnerrp: meaning youre on the wrong side of the efficiency curve
[15:35:50] wagnerrp: h264 was only designed to be double the compression efficiency as mpeg2
[15:36:16] jedix: okay..
[15:36:28] wagnerrp: and differences between compressors (x264 is very good), you may be able to cut those 6GB recordings down to 2GB without significant loss
[15:36:54] jedix: I could use one of my i7–2600K to encode if that's what you are thinking
[15:37:17] wagnerrp: prices before the hard drive spike puts that at around $0.14 saved
[15:37:49] jedix: well, I mirror the data to another machine, so really I'd save 4gb x2, right?
[15:38:20] jedix: and then if you want to include the amount of power it takes to transfer it..
[15:38:26] justinh: mirror? teevee? heh
[15:38:36] wagnerrp: i would consider that just being inefficient
[15:39:42] jedix: if I could trust the commercial detection more, I'd automate it, but it seems there are still about 2 times a week where I have to edit the clippings
[15:39:55] jedix: you would consider what being inefficient?
[15:40:05] jedix: mirroring?
[15:40:09] wagnerrp: the developers themselves dont trust the commercial detection more
[15:40:29] wagnerrp: which is why you cannot automatically duplicate the skip list onto the cutlist and transcode it
[15:40:31] jedix: what do you mean `more`?
[15:40:50] wagnerrp: but an hour long recording should take 3–4 minutes to clip
[15:41:02] jedix: by hand?
[15:41:05] wagnerrp: yes
[15:41:06] justinh: yeah
[15:41:12] jedix: yeah, that sounds about right
[15:41:18] justinh: even just checking cutpoints yourself
[15:41:21] jedix: I'm sure it gets faster after you get used to it
[15:41:40] justinh: a few minutes to clip an hour show is good going
[15:41:45] wagnerrp: justinh: actually, its about that from scratch, not using the skip list as a guide
[15:41:59] justinh: depends how wrong the flagger gets it
[15:42:10] jedix: how do you import the clip list?
[15:42:12] wagnerrp: "not using the skip list as a guide"
[15:42:14] justinh: you're likely better off doing it from scratch in some cases anyway
[15:42:15] wagnerrp: 'z'
[15:42:37] jedix: I've just been pressing the e key to start editing and do it from there.
[15:42:41] jedix: I think it's e
[15:42:47] jedix: something around e on qwerty anyways
[15:42:53] jedix: w or q?
[15:42:57] wagnerrp: 'e' enters edit mode
[15:43:01] jedix: yeah
[15:43:08] wagnerrp: 'z' imports the skip list in edit mode
[15:43:11] jedix: so if you edit it, you can press z to go to the cut list?
[15:43:24] wagnerrp: skip list
[15:43:45] wagnerrp: commercial detector creates a skip list, edit mode creates a cut list
[15:43:47] jedix: right, sorry
[15:44:14] jedix: so I'd like to encode them with a good codec to compress them to save space
[15:44:24] jedix: you say x264 is better than h264?
[15:44:45] justinh: x264 *is* h.264
[15:44:57] jedix: oh
[15:45:01] wagnerrp: anyway, with good compression on that i7, youre looking at 4–5hrs for an hour long recording
[15:45:02] jedix: and what is h.263?
[15:45:05] justinh: or rather h.264 is the codec
[15:45:11] wagnerrp: the c2q would be more like 6–8hrs
[15:45:19] justinh: der.. x264 is the encoder
[15:46:14] wagnerrp: h.263 is a low-bitrate-optimized codec, rarely used for stored vidoe
[15:47:28] justinh: e.g. mobile phone video :)
[15:48:19] wagnerrp: anyway, when you consider that C2Q running full out for 6–8 hours, youre talking around 1kWh, or $0.10-$0.15 depending on your local rates
[15:48:34] wagnerrp: compared to next to nothing if you let it standby
[15:48:44] wagnerrp: or maybe a quarter of that idled with the disks spun down
[15:49:24] justinh: transcoding. it's just like virtualisation
[15:49:30] wagnerrp: the i7 fares better, more powerful, and less consumption while full out
[15:49:34] wagnerrp: so you do come out ahead
[15:49:41] wagnerrp: but not by a whole lot
[15:49:43] justinh: i.e. loads of people do it, but they don't really know why
[15:50:07] high-rez (high-rez!~gus@2001:470:e935::2) has left #mythtv-users ()
[15:50:25] jedix: local rate is 5–10c based on time of use
[15:50:28] wagnerrp: if we could use something like the elegato encoder chip, or the hardware encoder built into that i7, transcoding would be much more efficient
[15:50:38] jedix: 5.6–10.7c/kw
[15:51:18] jedix: virtualization has its place
[15:51:27] wagnerrp: if we could transcoding using graphics hardware, it would be a lot faster, and modestly more efficient depending on the quality of the code
[15:51:56] wagnerrp: (badaboom is not significantly more efficient than x264 on a CPU with comparable quality last i checked benchmarks)
[15:52:51] wagnerrp: anyway.... general opinion around here, transcode for device compatibility, not space
[15:53:14] wagnerrp: i.e. transcode for a streaming box that only does h264, or for a mobile phone, or for a laptop with limited storage
[15:53:17] wagnerrp: that sort of thing
[15:53:45] jedix: wbn to have them encoded to take on trips on the laptop
[15:54:16] wagnerrp: how big is the disk on the laptop?

[15:58:08] jedix: but I'm looking at ssd's
[15:58:29] wagnerrp: Oleg_: if you need that, i dare say youre doing something wrong
[15:58:55] jedix: oh, is there a way I can print the recording rules directly from the sql db? the big bang theory is getting recorded twice every time it airs
[15:59:10] wagnerrp: twice on the same channel?
[15:59:39] jedix: the exact same airing
[15:59:39] justinh: jedix: we strongly discourage people futzing around with the database
[15:59:43] wagnerrp: or would this be once on two copies of the same channel? (one HD and one SD)
[15:59:45] jedix: ah, okay.

[16:00:08] justinh: (on account of all the morons who manage to break stuff irrepairably)
[16:00:14] Oleg_: well, I can't mount an ext4 partition as ro or rw under freebsd. I can't mount ext4 as a network partition 'cause my network player doesn't recognize ext4 partitions
[16:00:23] wagnerrp: i mean, are they the same channel on the same source?
[16:00:35] jedix: I tried cleaning out all the rules and stuff because I just bought a sub to SD.. so we'll see if it's fixed tonight
[16:00:42] Oleg_: I guess I can still mount ext4 as a network partition under qemu
[16:00:44] jedix: yeah, I think so.
[16:00:46] justinh: Oleg_: wth difference does the FS type make on a network mount?
[16:00:50] wagnerrp: do you still have EIT enabled?
[16:00:51] Oleg_: but I don't know how to do it
[16:00:54] jedix: no
[16:00:58] jedix: I disabled EIT
[16:01:14] wagnerrp: i would double check that first
[16:01:26] wagnerrp: mixing guide data like that results in such issues
[16:01:40] wagnerrp: since the two different sources will break matching
[16:01:54] wagnerrp: EIT will not have the programid that SD provides
[16:02:05] wagnerrp: and will almost certainly use a different description
[16:02:16] wagnerrp: mythtv will view it as a different episode
[16:02:28] jedix: I was using EIT only until this week, so maybe I'll see if SD fixes this issue tonight.
[16:02:46] jedix: new ep on Thursdays!
[16:03:07] wagnerrp: WTF...
[16:03:27] wagnerrp: MSI released an iphone app to allow you to remotely overclock your motherboard and graphics cards
[16:03:58] wagnerrp: seems theres an app for retarded
[16:04:00] Oleg_: justinh, okay, I probably phrased it incorrectly. My network player probably doesn't have the interface which would enable me to mount a hard disk as a network partition
[16:04:03] jedix: Asus has something like that over bluetooth
[16:04:15] jedix: epic fail.
[16:04:59] wagnerrp: if youre actually overclocking with intent, you're not going to be dynamically adjusting things like that, since youre too close to the stability limit
[16:05:15] Oleg_: which means my only option is to use a virtual emulator if I want to mount that hard drive as a network filesystem under freebsd
[16:05:30] Oleg_: unless I have other options I am unaware of
[16:05:33] wagnerrp: if youre not overclocking with intent, then you dont need to be able to adjust it on a whim like that
[16:05:57] jedix: Oleg_: would that fuse stuff work?
[16:06:02] wagnerrp: Oleg_: it sounds like youre simply trying to make things far more difficult than they need to be
[16:06:25] Oleg_: wagnerrp, then tell me how to mount an ext4 partition under freebsd.
[16:06:30] wagnerrp: you cant
[16:06:41] Oleg_: exactly
[16:06:46] wagnerrp: if youre going to use linux, stick to linux filesystems
[16:06:53] wagnerrp: if youre going to use freebsd, stick to freebsd filesystems
[16:07:11] wagnerrp: the only things you can mix and match are probably going to be FAT, UDF, and ZFS
[16:07:38] Oleg_: jedix, let me check
[16:08:04] wagnerrp: i dont understand where your network player factors into any of this
[16:09:19] jedix: Oleg_: you could mount it as ext2 if you're not using any of the better qualities of ext4
[16:09:30] jedix: I assume this is to migrate off ext4
[16:09:58] wagnerrp: you can mount ext3 as ext2 if you forgo the journalling extensions
[16:10:04] wagnerrp: you cannot do so with ext4
[16:10:13] wagnerrp: it is not compatible in that manner
[16:10:18] Oleg_: even fuse stuff won't help?
[16:10:48] wagnerrp: only if you can find a fuse application that supports those filesystems
[16:11:08] jedix: it is if he doesn't use extents
[16:12:16] jedix: although extents are defaulted to on for quite a while when formatting..

[18:43:02] wagnerrp: then if you switch to the VDPAU Slim playback profile, you will be using the hardware decoder in your GPU for everything, and your CPU load should be around 2%

[22:24:27] lecotex: hi, can you give me hint where I can find information regarding backend requirements? I have small networked box with 2 DVB-S2 tuners and would like to check if I can add there mythbackend capability
[22:24:45] wagnerrp: this networked box is an x86 pc?
[22:25:33] lecotex: no, the box is our arm based baby (www.nessiedvb.com) but I think it not important
[22:25:47] lecotex: there is linux running already
[22:26:35] wagnerrp: short answer, no
[22:27:00] wagnerrp: short answer you would be more happy with, it depends
[22:27:14] lecotex: :)
[22:27:22] lecotex: and a bit longer answer?
[22:27:23] wagnerrp: mythtv is designed for use on x86 PCs, which means gobs of power and memory
[22:27:37] lecotex: even backend?
[22:27:44] lecotex: backend only?
[22:27:56] lecotex: i would like to provide only tuners
[22:28:29] lecotex: some similar way I'm doing on linux basis with virtual dvb adapter driver
[22:28:37] lecotex: using vtuner project
[22:29:09] wagnerrp: you could potentially run a slave backend on this box
[22:29:21] lecotex: yes, that is what I would like to do
[22:29:22] wagnerrp: you might run into memory issues, i dont know
[22:29:37] wagnerrp: as a master backend, that means youre dealing with a mysql server, and the scheduler
[22:29:51] wagnerrp: the mysql server is going to want a lot of RAM, which you dont have
[22:29:58] wagnerrp: and its going to want a lot of power, which you dont have
[22:30:12] lecotex: yes, that i understand
[22:30:16] lecotex: but ehat about slave?
[22:30:22] wagnerrp: its not sustained load, but bursty load
[22:30:24] lecotex: still I need mysql there?
[22:30:55] wagnerrp: same thing with the scheduler, you dont need to run it often, but when it does run, you have some strict time constraints it must be performed within before you run into trouble
[22:31:07] wagnerrp: for a slave backend, all its doing is receiving recording instructions from the master
[22:31:26] wagnerrp: for a digital tuner, there really is very little in the way of CPU requirements
[22:31:46] wagnerrp: if you can fit in that meager 128MB of memory, it should be fine
[22:32:11] lecotex: so slave backed is doing recordings on its own?
[22:32:12] wagnerrp: on a mythtv system, there is only one master backend and one mysql server
[22:32:34] wagnerrp: the master backend coordinates access to content from the frontends, and manages the scheduler and upnp servers
[22:32:55] wagnerrp: slave backends dont do much more than shuffle files around
[22:33:34] wagnerrp: i.e. data streams from the tuners to the disk, and from the disk to the frontends
[22:34:17] lecotex: files? I don't have there any storage, I can only send them over the net (to the master?)

[22:34:45] laga: you can probably set up an iptv recorder to record the stream
[22:34:48] laga: on the master
[22:34:51] wagnerrp: the backend must be able to store its recordings to a locally mounted disk
[22:35:06] wagnerrp: whether that disk is a physical drive, or an NFS share, it doesnt care
[22:35:10] wagnerrp: it just has to be mounted
[22:35:16] lecotex: and backend w/o recording capabilities?
[22:35:22] wagnerrp: no such purpose
[22:35:34] wagnerrp: slave backends only exist to record and serve up files
[22:36:08] wagnerrp: the master backend does that, plus the scheduler and various other duties
[22:36:10] lecotex: hmm, pity, then my box is not fit in this scenario :(
[22:36:25] wagnerrp: as a slave backend, it would probably work
[22:36:34] wagnerrp: but you still need a master backend and mysql server located elsewhere
[22:36:44] wagnerrp: as a master backend, i wouldnt bother
[22:37:00] lecotex: sure, I understand that master must be elsewhere
[22:37:50] dekarl_off_to_wo is now known as dekarl
[22:38:13] lecotex: my idea was to reuse those tuners remotely – adding them somehow (by myth slave backend or so) to the myth desktop (where master can sit)
[22:39:08] lecotex: right now I can achive that by using virtual dvb adapters

[22:42:19] lecotex: with some sort of coordination (on application level) some tuners can be use concurently by more clients (if channels come from same transponder)
[22:42:57] wagnerrp: mythtv will record multiple shows on the same physical tuner simultaneously, if they are on the same transponder
[22:43:55] wagnerrp: mythtv just puts all its available tuners into a big pool
[22:44:04] wagnerrp: when it needs one, it just pulls the top one off the list
[22:44:13] wagnerrp: it makes no preference between ones on the local machine, and remote ones
[22:44:31] lecotex: exactly I that I ment about – application can share transponder between clients, what is not case for low level adapter virtualization
[22:44:54] wagnerrp: additionally, you seem to be looking at this for live tv
[22:45:04] wagnerrp: technically in mythtv, there is no such thing as live tv
[22:45:29] wagnerrp: everything is recorded, and in 'live tv mode', the frontends are simply watching a recording with a bit of glue to change channels
[22:45:53] lecotex: oh, that I didn't know
[22:46:08] lecotex: interesting design
[22:46:18] wagnerrp: the idea is that you set up recording rules, let the scheduler do its thing, and then watch the recordings some time later at your leisure
[22:46:28] lecotex: i see
[22:46:43] wagnerrp: so 'live tv mode' doesnt get much use from the developer base
[22:47:34] dekarl: hmm, thought it might be a nice box to run mumudvb on, but with 4 DVB-S/S2 tuners and just 100mbit/s NIC that's going to be limited by the NIC
[22:47:53] wagnerrp: four? i see two
[22:48:10] lecotex: yes, only two are there :)
[22:48:36] dekarl: only two? ahh, then it might actually work... just been looking at the pictures
[22:48:47] wagnerrp: its basically the same concept as the netceiver
[22:48:53] lecotex: yes, it is
[22:49:12] lecotex: but we are trying to be as wider connected as possible
[22:49:13] wagnerrp: or a more complex version of the hdhomerun
[22:49:27] lecotex: that is why we have there few modes of working
[22:49:32] lecotex: for every tuner
[22:49:44] wagnerrp: these virtual DVB devices, do they show up as normal /dev/dvb/adapter<n> devices on the client system?
[22:49:47] lecotex: and I'm looking for additional modes around :)
[22:49:57] lecotex: yes
[22:50:08] lecotex: you can check myself
[22:50:18] wagnerrp: then they could simply be used directly by the master backend
[22:50:26] lecotex: vtuner stuff is fully open sourced
[22:50:32] wagnerrp: with no reason to run a backend instance on the box itself
[22:51:20] dekarl: lecotex: does the multicast mode stream every channel of two multiplexes or just some channels? would be enough to run in Malta methinks (they have just one FTA DVB-T mux) just point the mythtv backend to the m3u with all the multicast groups

[22:52:51] lecotex: not full, device was designed for home use, there are restricted resources (cpu mostly)
[22:53:04] jpabq_ (jpabq_!~jpabq@mythtv/developer/jpabq) has joined #mythtv-users
[22:53:22] lecotex: in multicast we get about 30Mbps per tuner
[22:54:04] dekarl: i see, was just guessing from what I read at the mumudvb site
[22:55:26] lecotex: btw we have in development DVB-T2/C variant also
[22:56:00] zombor (zombor!~zombor_@kohana/developer/zombor) has joined #mythtv-users
[22:56:13] dekarl: it's a nice box to feed the soccer world cup to a small office net or similar :) (not so many channels but potentially lots of viewer)
[22:56:27] lecotex: hehe, yes
[22:57:13] lecotex: I must say we get the idea exactly when hockey championship was held about two years ago ;)

[23:01:16] dekarl: if you have a custom protocol it's possible to implement a special recorder in the backend in principle, but that won't lift the vtuner mode restrictions and so it's of limited use i think
[23:01:48] wagnerrp: or you could implement the HDHomeRun protocol, and do away with the need for a special recorder
[23:01:59] wagnerrp: but youre still back at the same point
[23:02:09] wagnerrp: mythtv is not designed to play well with others
[23:02:29] dekarl: and I've seen mention somewhere about a device/protocol that mixes multicast properties with the clients still tuning... don't remember where that was...
[23:03:27] wagnerrp: the HDHomeRun TECH is designed for offices, and lets multiple clients access content over multicast
[23:03:49] wagnerrp: although how it handles switching between different multiplexes, im not sure
[23:03:52] dekarl: basically the client would call out to the network where one or more of your devices live and ask for a channel. and magically the client would get the stream from one of them of a "out of tuners" error.
[23:04:07] dekarl: ... or an error ...
[23:04:47] wagnerrp: im think just make all potential channels available through their own multicast address
[23:05:08] wagnerrp: if there is a free tuner, or a tuner already on that multiplex, you get the stream
[23:05:18] wagnerrp: if not, you get something on the order of a busy signal
[23:05:34] wagnerrp: maybe just an empty carrier or something
[23:05:38] dekarl: the trick was that if a device had already tuned to the mux of the requested channel it just feeds the channel from the same tuner (like our multirec) and if that's not the case it would use a free tuner
[23:05:56] dekarl: wagnerrp: sounds like a way to handle that, too
[23:06:26] dekarl: the nice thing was that you could just plug in more boxes if you run out of tuners regularly
[23:06:59] streeter (streeter!streeter@nat/redhat/x-ioibwxedvfjfksis) has quit (Quit: Leaving)
[23:07:06] wagnerrp: have the boxes negotiate between each other which acts as the source for that particular request?
[23:07:26] wagnerrp: whoever has free tuners left picks it up
[23:08:02] dekarl: yes, something like that.
[23:08:52] lecotex: ok, guys, thanks for all info regarding myth backend stuff
[23:09:25] lecotex: seems I have to stay on vtuner usage for myth users
[23:09:45] dekarl: do you provide a m3u playlist for the multicast mode?
[23:10:23] wagnerrp: well you dont _have_ to, it just wont provide any real benefit to run slave backends on it
[23:11:00] troyt (troyt!~troyt@PariahZero.broker.freenet6.net) has quit (Ping timeout: 244 seconds)
[23:11:08] lecotex: I have m3u accessible over http (webinterface)
[23:11:11] dekarl: if you can collect EIT and provide that in xmltv format in addition to a playlist like explained here, that would be cool, too http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/User:Dekarl/How_to . . . ke_a_Freebox
[23:12:30] dekarl: basically allows you to automatically connect your multicast groups to the xmltv guide channels
[23:13:55] lecotex: oh, freebox seems to be similar device in regard of streaming TS streams

[23:14:43] dekarl: yes, upstream it's (DVB-)IPTV from the free.fr ISP
[23:14:55] dekarl: but downstream it's similar
