[02:29:47] skd5aner: heh – the guy from the US who wants a 24/7 news stream internet feed has gotten responses for solutions for the UK and Austratlia, and RT (Russian Times)... gotta love the internet
[02:30:06] [R]: 24/7 news sounds so boring

[02:31:44] skd5aner: Beirdo: can you recover any of the really old fm support that used to be around?
[02:32:27] skd5aner: [R]: I guess it depends on the network and the story... I mean, a 24/7 victoria secret news network might not be too shabby
[02:33:02] skd5aner: [R]: also, joking aside, it would be nice to have something you could easily pull up if you only had OTA networks and wanted to pull up news at any given time via MythTV
[02:33:50] skd5aner: stuartm: I think the streaming stuff in mythmusic has no UI, it's just staged, and might have been based on eskil's old shoutcast code
[02:34:05] skd5aner: and wagnerrp too ^
[02:34:39] jya: for the TV icon in LiveTV, shouldn't it try to retrieve those over myth:// protocol? on my mac, they don't show and in the log I have: MythUIHelper: LoadScaleImage(/home/mythtv/.shepherd/icons/frogman_blue_7TWO)Unable to find image file
[02:34:53] jya: this is the path off the file on the backend
[02:35:12] wagnerrp: there never was any old fm support that used to be around
[02:35:15] skd5aner: jya: I could be wrong, but I don't think that was switched over to storage groups... channel icons still rely on a reachable path
[02:35:48] jya: i see… that's unfortunate...

[02:35:55] wagnerrp: mythfm was a crude hack of a plugin, based around an external utility that would play radio using the hauppauge 250 and 350 tuner cards
[02:36:26] skd5aner: wagnerrp: yea, that's what I was referring too
[02:37:38] wagnerrp: someone with a bit of knowledge of the UI and plugin APIs could rewrite it from scratch over a short weekend

[02:38:26] skd5aner: jya: I was wrong, it was added this dev cycle – https://github.com/MythTV/mythtv/commit/caee2ba
[02:38:41] skd5aner: that said, I don't know if it was fully implemented
[02:39:13] jya: well, something is amiss then… I wonder if it's my change to the tv_play.cpp that retrieve the path that broke it
[02:39:43] [R]: skd5aner: i woudlnt even watch the 1 hour/day news... defintely woudn't watch 24 hour/day news
[02:40:11] jya: ah.. looking at that change, does that mean a ChannelIcons storage group has to exist?
[02:40:14] skd5aner: not sure the point is to watch it 24/7 – just have a network where you could catch the news anytime you chose to do so, in real time
[02:40:22] skd5aner: [R]: ^
[02:40:44] jya: [R]: I like having the news channel running in the background
[02:40:58] skd5aner: me too, during the work day
[02:41:06] [R]: im one of those dang kids that doestn care about news
[02:41:09] [R]: :P
[02:41:16] skd5aner: rebelrouser!
[02:41:35] skd5aner: [R]ebel[R]ouser
[02:41:40] jya: especially if the anchor woman looks like that: http://www.google.com.au/search?q=melissa+the . . . amp;bih=1075
[02:41:41] skd5aner: ;)
[02:42:14] skd5aner: heh... does she work for a Rupert Murdoch network?
[02:42:17] [R]: jya: yeah, i'd do her
[02:42:41] skd5aner: he has a thing for blonde anchors under 30
[02:42:51] jya: not even… French journalist.. she was voted hottest new girl in the last Australia GQ
[02:42:59] Seeker`: jya: skd5aner: it is something that was being discussed today by the devs. They are aware of the problem and are looking at fixing it. I'm not sure whether they decided 0.25 or 0.26 though
[02:43:17] skd5aner: Seeker`: easy – 0.25, all the had to do was ask me
[02:43:29] jya: Seeker`: so not point raising a bug then?
[02:43:30] skd5aner: so let it be written, so let it be done
[02:43:43] Seeker`: skd5aner: :P
[02:44:03] Seeker`: jya: I'd say no, as they know how to fix it and are aware of the problem
[02:44:18] skd5aner: jya: I still am a firm beliver in filing a ticket anyway... I can't count the times where a bug discussion has come up and a dev says "oh yea" and then it never goes anywhere – at least with a ticket there's a tiny bit of accountability/reminder, etc
[02:44:22] Seeker`: I think its just a question of whether it should be added during a feature freeze
[02:44:52] jya: Seeker`: I would consider the missing icon in LiveTV a definite blocker :)
[02:45:11] skd5aner: I mean, the fact that Danielk was asking all the questions he was about being locked into a mux in livetv with multirec is a great example since he has been involved in dozens of conversations of the last 4 years about it – but still acted surprised about it when he was recently troubleshooting it
[02:45:29] Seeker`: jya: well, it isn't techinically a bug, because if you place the file in a directory on the local machine, they work
[02:46:00] skd5aner: Seeker`: if it doesn't work as intended, and SG's are now supposed to support channel icons, it's a bug (regardless if there's a workaround / legacy solution)
[02:46:03] jya: skd5aner: I made sure he had all the info for it to get fixed though… I wasn't going to let this one pass :)
[02:46:23] Seeker`: skd5aner: channel icons over storage groups for livetv hasn't been implemented yet
[02:46:47] Seeker`: its one of the things on the "to be converted" list
[02:46:59] skd5aner: I told him I'd give him all the info he could want on multiple occasions – either way, I'm just happy now so I don't want to sound like I'm whining about the past
[02:47:36] Seeker`: I think the channelicons storage group was put in for something else, but it isn't actually used by anything at the moment
[02:47:36] jya: there you go: http://code.mythtv.org/trac/ticket/10404
[02:47:38] skd5aner: Seeker`: how's your theme coming along? Plan to have it ready by release?
[02:47:51] Seeker`: skd5aner: been kinda distraced by other stuff :(
[02:48:09] skd5aner: jya: cool – if nothing else, it's a tracking ticket and an opportunity for someone to put a notch in their "closed a ticket" belt :D
[02:48:20] skd5aner: Seeker`: totally understand dude... my life is upside down right now too
[02:48:38] Seeker`: I'm not good enough at theme implementation to produce something that looks really nice either
[02:48:39] ** jya waiting for a "request without a patch" resolution **
[02:49:41] skd5aner: Seeker`: I can't remember the exact quote from Mark Zuckerberg, but it goes something like "released is better than perfect"
[02:50:08] skd5aner: Seeker`: think "incremental" improvements – get it to a place you're geneally happy, then iterate like crazy – the download manager will make that really easy for folks to get your updates
[02:50:24] Seeker`: skd5aner: I likely won't be able to get it in to a state where I'm happy to mark it as 'suitable for general consumption'

[02:50:50] skd5aner: maybe not by release :)
[02:51:01] Seeker`: the OSD and videos are sorta getting there, but I haven't touched much else
[02:51:17] ** Seeker` started writing a path tracer last week, has lost all of his time to that **
[02:52:51] Seeker`: its vaguely work related, but I'll never be given the time to do it at work, but its something I really want to do
[02:53:11] skd5aner: wouldn't we all like that
[02:53:34] ** skd5aner wishes he could get paid for his hobbies **
[02:54:57] skd5aner: off to spend some time away from my desk, g'night
[02:55:02] ertyu-m: they stop being hobbies then and you stop enjoying them
[02:55:08] Seeker`: nn
[02:55:52] Seeker`: Its the point where its "we need this polished and releaseable" that it starts to suck. The "research this, see what you can get working" is the cool part
[02:56:10] Seeker`: http://cjo20.net/cornellpath2.png <- just about working
[02:59:46] jya: allright, made a copy of the output of configure for all platforms tested by buildbot
[02:59:55] jya: let see if the new one gives the same result

[05:09:32] kisak: jya: are you around?
[05:09:43] jya: i am, but not for long
[05:09:56] kisak: it was suggested that I run something past you
[05:10:41] kisak: I run mythtv 0.25 on gentoo from 20120223, I perviously ran it from early january
[05:11:06] kisak: somewhere between the two, mythtv lost surround sound output to jack
[05:11:54] kisak: even though mythfrontend is set to 8 channel output, it outputs stereo
[05:12:51] kisak: if I go into the audio config section in mythfrontend and rescan audio devices, select jack up top, the only option I get below is stereo
[05:13:25] kisak: it currently reads "8" instead of "7.1" in hte lower field
[05:13:53] kisak: s/hte/the/
[05:14:59] [R] ([R]!~rbox@unaffiliated/rbox) has quit (Quit: Leaving)
[05:15:41] kisak: jack output is clearly not broken, since it is still putting out stereo, it just forgot that you can do surround sound to jack
[05:17:46] kisak: the only commit I found that smells related is https://github.com/MythTV/mythtv/commit/c5b6e . . . 820f8a86a0cc
[05:18:10] kisak: but I could easily be wrong
[05:19:36] kisak: argh, scratch that those last two lines

[05:56:14] skd5aner: s/your/you
[05:56:51] jya: kisak: that commit has nothing to do with your issue. It's only to prevent trying to play audio files with more than 8 channels.
[05:57:09] jya: there has been no change whatsover to jack between january and feb..
[05:58:11] jya: my guess is that you've changed something to your jack server, and now it reports not supporting 8 channels. If you post the output of starting mythfrontend with -v audio and going into the audio settings, you will see what jack reports

[05:58:49] kisak: jya: I just saw your message to me from umm ... 7 1/2 hours ago, sorry I didn't catch it before I reitterated what I'm experiencing
[05:59:08] jya: yeah, IRC is like that..
[05:59:46] kisak: jack is definately configured for 8 channel playback
[06:00:59] jya: not according to myth it isn't… myth uses jack_get_ports to report what channels is in use
[06:01:14] jya: otherwise, please send me your jack configuration file, and I have a look in more details
[06:01:24] kisak: I use qjackctl to launch jackd with my window manager, and the output channels is forced to 8
[06:01:55] jya: well, again, post the output of -v audio and going into the audio setup.
[06:02:13] kisak: okay
[06:02:17] jya: I got to run, will be back in a few hours. have shopping to do, feed the kids, bath them, put them to bed.
[06:02:30] kisak: I'll be asleep by then

[06:04:57] kisak: "JACK: is invalid or not usable." that didn't come up before
[06:05:16] jya: that would explain it too… jackd isn't responding to request
[06:06:21] jya: when you are seeing in the settings (8 vs 7.1) is simply because the settings show your existing config, and won't attempt to fix it by itself.
[06:06:37] jya: now navigate in the list of audio output device
[06:06:48] jya: and go back to the jack one
[06:06:55] jya: or do:
[06:07:04] jya: switch from the current audio device
[06:07:33] jya: press scan device (this refresh the list) and then see if jack is still showing up
[06:07:54] jya: it's important that you move from the current audio device that was selected from when to enter
[06:08:23] kisak: jack is not on the list
[06:08:40] jya: so its not running
[06:08:45] kisak: okay, at least this gives me something to chew on

[06:22:23] Scopeuk-AFK is now known as Scopeuk
[06:26:39] kisak: jya: SB should be the primary audio card, CA0106 is a secondary audio card that is left out of the jack setup, the is no hdmi connected, so that's a pipeline to nowhere, and loopback is an alsa loopback device which is 8 channels
[06:28:32] kisak: in my setup, surround sound applications like mythtv and mplayer are routed through jack, while misc. apps like firefox and pulse are routed through the loopback device
[06:31:45] kisak: if I switch the output device to null, rescan, then I can select JACK: again and stereo is the only option in the lower field
[06:34:50] kisak: the terminal reports 2012-03–04 01:31:31.163403 I Found JACK: (Use JACK default sound server. | Device supports up to 7.1) the second time around
[06:37:46] kisak: this doesn't seem to be a problem with the jack audio pipeline, just the logic that selects the amount of channels to use

[12:09:39] stuartm: aster1sk: what are you using if not mythfrontend for playback?
[12:09:46] stuartm: the problem is no deinterlacing
[12:09:58] stuartm: or a crap deinterlacer
[12:11:41] stuartm: well that's how it looks to me, but it could also be an issue with the driver or arguments used to the driver, #linuxtv guys might be able to suggest driver or hardware specific advice
[12:13:01] stuartm: aster1sk: fwiw, if you just want livetv from mythbackend without the menus, then you could use mythavtest (not exactly what it's designed for, but it works

[12:18:24] aster1sk: That screen was taken from MythTV Frontent x86 Macbook.
[12:19:01] aster1sk: I just enabled de-interlacing and it still looks pretty terrible – though I'd bet that's from the source more than anything.

[12:26:04] aster1sk: Still looks heavily interlaced.
[12:30:15] stuartm: aster1sk: no I don't I'm in the UK
[12:31:10] stuartm: aster1sk: ok, looks there's something wrong with the hardware/driver :/
[12:31:12] aster1sk: Ah ok – makes sense since most people aren't awake at this time.
[12:31:30] aster1sk: Interesting, I'll try a different version.

[12:32:19] stuartm: aster1sk: just check one thing, press MENU while watching, Video > Advanced > Video Scan – then make sure it's set to Interlaced
[12:32:47] stuartm: could be that it thinks the source is progressive for some reason
[12:33:11] aster1sk: Let's try — how to access menu using a keyboard in mythTV Frontend?
[12:33:29] aster1sk: I'll google --
[12:33:46] stuartm: aster1sk: M
[12:33:54] aster1sk: LOL makes sense
[12:35:06] stuartm: the location of that Video Scan entry might be different in 0.24, the menu layout was changed at some point but I don't know if that was before or after the 0.24 release
[12:35:58] aster1sk: Yeah so tried all three settings and extremely subtle change — progressive certainly looked the worst.
[12:37:56] stuartm: ok, so it still sounds like something is amiss with the actual capture side, could be the driver or the recording profile in mythtv, unfortunately it's been years since I've used any form of analogue capture
[12:38:42] stuartm: and that's the same for most (all?) MythTV devs who have either moved to digital only, or the HDPVR
[12:40:12] aster1sk: Here's dmesg | grep cx18

[12:40:45] aster1sk: Yeah I'd like it to look better but if I can't it's no big deal.
[12:41:10] aster1sk: And according to google this is the latest http://linuxtv.org/downloads/firmware/
[12:41:51] aster1sk: So I'm currently on 0.0.74.0 – I'll look for more recent.

[12:51:35] aster1sk: On the host with the NTSC card?

[18:46:23] wagnerrp: each time you select from the dropdown will simply attempt to find any matching hardware on your system
[18:46:38] wagnerrp: the 'v4l' type will blindly match anything it finds in /dev/video<n>
[18:46:55] wagnerrp: while the ivtv type will be more selective, and probe each device to see if it is compatible
[18:47:15] doda_: mhm, yeah v4l can be an webcam or something
[18:47:37] wagnerrp: v4l is any 'framegrabber' device, interfaced through the v4l API
[18:47:58] wagnerrp: framegrabber being something that just exposes the raw video frames in some memory buffer space
[18:48:05] wagnerrp: which mythtv must grab, and compress

When I installed it from the apt repository, I typed in the wrong mysql password and now I'm trying to reinstall the package, I get the error "Access denied", does anyone know how I can edit the password so I can reinstall the package?
[20:01:50] ** wagnerrp wonders why the SS had english accents **
[20:02:34] Scopeuk: Yammeh, ubuntu?
[20:02:37] Yammeh: Yer
[20:02:42] Scopeuk: open a terminal
[20:02:56] Yammeh: Yup
[20:02:58] Scopeuk: cd /home/mythtv/.mythtv
[20:03:10] Scopeuk: cat mysql.txt
[20:03:14] Scopeuk: password should be at the bottom
[20:03:32] Scopeuk: DBpassword=thepassword
[20:03:58] stuartm: wagnerrp: can cartoons featuring oiled muscled men in loincloths turn people gay? Personally I find that particular sight repellent, if I found myself even the least bit attracted to He-man I'd have to suspect that I was gay before I watched the series
[20:04:14] Yammeh: I set the user for mythtv to be root
[20:04:31] Scopeuk: database user or mythtv user?
[20:04:41] Yammeh: And I've tried setting the mythtv.txt user /usr/share/mythtv/mysql.txt to the correct password
[20:04:48] Yammeh: I believe the mythtv user

[20:05:32] Scopeuk: someone else is probably better equiped to walk you through that one though

[20:07:49] Yammeh: Well, I was just able to remove MythTv, so I'll try reinstalling and starting from scratch

[20:14:29] Scopeuk: Yammeh, putty + xming
[20:15:05] Scopeuk: in putty tick the forward x11 under ssh settings, has to be done before you open the connection, xming just has to be running in the tray
[20:16:42] wagnerrp: or you use 'xhost' to allow access from that host without using putty
[20:17:01] wagnerrp: or you set up proper magic cookie sharing
[20:17:05] Yammeh: Well, I've been trying to use xming
[20:17:16] Yammeh: When I enable x11 forwarding in putty
[20:17:22] Scopeuk: wagnerrp, only good if your inside the same network, although x11 forwarding is a touch worthless over the internet anyway
[20:17:24] Yammeh: What do I put in x dsplay location?
[20:17:31] Scopeuk: jsut leave it putty will do it for you
[20:17:42] Scopeuk: xming is normally 10.0 though iirc
[20:17:55] Yammeh: Ok, so xming running, opening the shh connection to putty
[20:17:57] wagnerrp: Scopeuk: works relatively well for me
[20:17:58] Scopeuk: its been a little while since i've needed it
[20:18:20] Yammeh: When I look at the event log usin putty, I get x11 forwarding refused
[20:18:25] Scopeuk: wagnerrp, perhaps more dependant on the available upload at the client end
[20:18:36] wagnerrp: most applications dont need all that much bandwidth, so its all a function of latency
[20:18:52] Scopeuk: hmm i've found alot of applications take a long long time to load
[20:19:00] wagnerrp: 20–30ms is more or less usable
[20:19:07] wagnerrp: beyond that, it gets exponentially more painful
[20:19:11] Scopeuk: but I do have pretty heavily restricted upload
[20:19:18] wagnerrp: and whatever you do, dont resize windows

[20:25:04] Scopeuk: Yammeh, http://aruljohn.com/info/x11forwarding/
[20:27:23] Yammeh: See, that's what I've been doing, when I use echo $DISPLAY, nothing is stored
[20:29:15] wagnerrp: then 'xhost <remote machine>' through the xming command terminal
[20:29:30] wagnerrp: and then 'export DISPLAY=<desktop>:0.0'

[20:29:43] Yammeh: Ok, I'll try that

[20:33:46] wagnerrp: 7.5.0.39
[20:37:14] doda_: ha, wierd, myth zooms in the video after a while
[20:38:10] wagnerrp: mythtv will automatically adjust the zoom in attempt to compensate for letter/pillarboxed content
[20:38:41] wagnerrp: i.e. analog TV will be 4:3, but if you are watching 16:9 letterboxed content on a 16:9 display, mythtv will automatically zoom to fill
[20:41:05] doda_: yeah
[20:41:16] doda_: but i can't read the subtitles :D
[20:41:36] doda_: that is frontend side right ?
[20:42:08] wagnerrp: yes, you can adjust the zoom mode through the 'm' menu
[20:42:19] wagnerrp: or i believe 'w' may be the default keybinding
[20:42:32] wagnerrp: and you should be able to disable the auto-zoom in the playback settings
[20:42:43] wagnerrp: doda_: these are "hardsubs"?
[20:43:07] wagnerrp: meaning the subtitles are cooked into the image itself, rather than being passed through the more traditional VBI data?
[20:43:29] stuartm: wagnerrp: nah, soft subs are also zoomed for some reason, and that means they can disappear off-screen
[20:43:46] wagnerrp: eew
[20:44:13] stuartm: I've noted it a few times in the past, but since I rarely have to zoom it's been low on the agenda
[20:44:34] wagnerrp: open up a ticket so you dont forget?

[22:03:57] bcgrown: where can I find a list of all the LIRC "macro" keys for mythfrontend? I mean the ones that have config = Left and stuff like that instead of specific keys
[22:04:08] bcgrown: or... uhh.. does Left just mean Left arrow?
[22:04:34] [R]: yes
[22:06:40] bcgrown: um.. nevermind then. *facepalm*
[22:11:14] bcgrown: it seems like mythfrontend doesn't take hold of new lirc settings after I stop the service and start it again. I have to actually close the frontend and re-open it. actually i may even have to restart lirc with the front end closed for it to get updated. is that intended behaviour?
[22:11:39] [R]: if you modify the lircd settings, then you need to rsetart it
[22:11:47] [R]: if you modify the myth lirc settings, you have to restart it
[22:11:53] [R]: see how that works?
[22:12:38] bcgrown: yeah but i thought the settings i was modifying were for lirc, not myth
[22:12:43] bcgrown: i guess i was wrong?
[22:12:54] [R]: well it depends on what settings you are talkinga bout
[22:12:54] bcgrown: ~./lirc/mythtv that is
[22:12:59] [R]: thats the myth settings
[22:13:01] bcgrown: ah
[22:13:04] [R]: read the log from when you start the frontend
[22:13:11] bcgrown: so i was restarting lirc for no reason haha

[22:49:00] mangus580: crazy question.... why would my pvr-500's not show up in mythtv-setup?
[22:49:17] mangus580: but yet will function on the frontend, and play video?
[22:49:28] [R]: is the backend runnign? what does "show up" mean
[22:49:30] mangus580: (they have been setup and working for a while)
[22:49:54] mangus580: when you go into the capture cards settings, and choose a device, they say 'failed to open'
[22:50:04] mangus580: backend is not running when I try this
[22:50:24] [R]: what does the backend log say
[22:50:31] mangus580: where do i find it?
[22:51:14] [R]: not backend sorry
[22:51:15] [R]: the setup log
[22:51:26] mangus580: ok – again, where do I find it :-)
[22:51:36] [R]: its the touput when you run it...

[22:52:48] mangus580: I cant get it to run from a command line, have to use a shortcut for some reason
[22:53:48] [R]: wtf...
[22:53:53] mangus580: yeah
[22:53:56] [R]: there is no difference between running it form the command line
[22:53:59] [R]: and running it form a shortcut
[22:54:17] mangus580: when I run cli, I get a GLib-GIO:ERROR, AND IT DUMPS

[23:48:43] bcgrown: non-mythtv question... why can't i "sudo echo" a value to /proc/acpi/wakeup? i just get permission denied...

[23:49:39] bcgrown: [R]: ah, did not know that. "sudo sh -c" does it
