[00:00:43] Bray90820: 0.25 is now installed
[00:00:48] Bray90820: thank you
[00:01:25] tgm4883: yw
[00:01:38] tgm4883: for some reason, you still had the 0.26 repo active
[00:01:55] Bray90820: no idea why
[00:02:11] Bray90820: if you dont mind can you also help me with a mysql error i am having
[00:02:35] tgm4883: I can try, although i'm at work attempting to install some software
[00:02:49] tgm4883: so you can ask, and I'll try to answer or wait for other people to jump in
[00:02:55] Bray90820: if you don't want to it's ok
[00:03:55] tgm4883: it's better to ask your question
[00:04:03] tgm4883: other people can't attempt to help you if you don't ask
[00:04:32] Bray90820: basically i have another computer with a front-end installed and i it can't seem to connect to my backend
[00:04:44] Bray90820: and it's saying that mysql lost connection
[00:05:24] Bray90820: and in mythtv control center mysql fails when i test connection
[00:05:27] tgm4883: Bray90820, IIRC, you are using 127.0.0.1 and/or localhost in your configuration right?
[00:06:20] Bray90820: i am using my actual IP for the backend
[00:06:55] tgm4883: Bray90820, you mean your private IP?
[00:06:57] Bray90820: if i change to 127.0.0.1 mythtv just completely freezers and i have to reastart my computer
[00:07:06] tgm4883: eg. 192.168.x.x?
[00:07:30] Bray90820: the IP of the computer with the backend on it is 192.168.1.8 and in mythtv backend i enter 192.168.1.8
[00:07:47] tgm4883: ok
[00:08:12] tgm4883: do you know your mythtv username/password?
[00:08:16] tgm4883: username should be mythtv
[00:08:23] tgm4883: password is something generated
[00:11:04] Bray90820: yes i do know that
[00:11:13] Bray90820: but actually right now i am having even a 3rd error
[00:11:33] tgm4883: ...
[00:12:26] Bray90820: when i reinstalled mythtv 0.25 i also wiped the database but now i am in an endless loop of where the front-end keeps restarting and has me configure it because it cant connect to the database

[00:14:15] Bray90820: this is how i did it
[00:14:16] Bray90820: mysql -u root -p
[00:14:18] tgm4883: Bray90820, so.... your database password probably changed then
[00:14:22] Bray90820: DROP DATABASE IF EXISTS mythconverg;
[00:14:48] Moscherkobold (Moscherkobold!Moscherkob@roath.org) has joined #mythtv-users
[00:16:14] Bray90820: so should i check the passwords aganst each other and see if tehy are the same
[00:17:18] tgm4883: Bray90820, do you even have a mythconverg database right now?
[00:17:31] Bray90820: i don't know
[00:17:48] tgm4883: Bray90820, just out of curiosity, are you just randomly entering commands that you find on the internet?
[00:18:09] Bray90820: not exactly
[00:18:28] Bray90820: what i was trying to do is reset mythtv to default settings
[00:20:27] louisdk (louisdk!~louis@5.103.130.65) has quit (Remote host closed the connection)
[00:21:40] Bray90820: but what should i do about this error
[00:21:59] tgm4883: Bray90820, you're really trying to get a scenario in which I just say start from scratch aren't you
[00:22:25] Bray90820: no
[00:22:38] tgm4883: !stab remmina
[00:22:41] Bray90820: right now i am just trying to get things working
[00:23:05] Bray90820: i want the backend to work and i want it to be able to connect to my xbmc frontend

[00:23:11] tgm4883: ok, so how about this
[00:23:39] tgm4883: Try [1] sudo dpkg-reconfigure mysql-server-5.5 (pay attention to the root password you set, you will need it later) [2] sudo dpkg-reconfigure mythtv-database [3] sudo dpkg-reconfigure mythtv-common

[00:23:48] tgm4883: thanks MythLogBot
[00:24:58] Bray90820: sorry for being such a noob
[00:25:07] Bray90820: it's really my first time with mythtv
[00:26:22] tgm4883: once you do those three things, login to mysql 'mysql -u root -p' then do 'show databases;' and see if it lists mythconverg
[00:28:16] Bray90820: host mysql server resides in
[00:28:23] Bray90820: should i leave it localhost
[00:28:36] tgm4883: yes, assuming you are doing this on the backend
[00:28:47] Bray90820: yes i am

[00:30:42] Bray90820: mythconverg is there by the way
[00:30:45] Bray90820: and i ahve to go as well

[04:41:00] Bray90820: well see my problem is i can't connect mythbox which is a mythtv frontend for xbmc
[04:41:08] Bray90820: and i think it's a probelum with my backend
[04:41:31] [R]: when you start the backend, does it give errors in the log?

[04:48:10] [R]: then sounds like the backend is fine
[04:48:27] Bray90820: alright
[04:48:36] Bray90820: then it is he xbmc addon
[04:49:25] Bray90820: do you by any chance know anything about mythbox for xbmc

[05:37:56] pierce71588: What kind of broadband would be needed for full HD content? I am running ethernet over power and am getting about 40Mbps, is that enough?
[05:40:52] pierce71588: Bandwidth**
[05:41:34] [R]: "full hd" says nothing
[05:41:50] pierce71588: Bluray quality
[05:41:51] wagnerrp: "full HD" content will run you just shy of 600Mbps
[05:41:59] wagnerrp: but X11 overhead
[05:42:10] wagnerrp: i wouldn't attempt it on anything short of gigabit
[05:44:36] pierce71588: @wagnerrp: Do you mean you wouldn't attempt bluray for anything short of a gigabit? or "full HD" ?
[05:45:10] wagnerrp: i wouldn't attempt "full hd" on anything short of gigabit
[05:45:28] wagnerrp: bluray content would be just fine on 10/100 network, but 40Mbps powerline is a bit anemic
[05:45:53] wagnerrp: bluray content will push up to 48Mbps for a single program
[05:46:04] wagnerrp: averaging closer to 30Mbps or so
[05:47:08] wagnerrp: "full hd" video, defined as 1920x1080@24 YUV will run just under 600Mbps
[05:48:01] wagnerrp: and there will be considerable X11 protocol overhead if trying to do so
[05:49:47] pierce71588: Hmm okay great. Should I be able to use iftop to see how much bandwidth I am using to see if that is my issue?
[05:50:07] wagnerrp: if you're only benchmarking 40Mbps, that will be your issue
[05:50:29] wagnerrp: your best bet is to run proper ethernet
[05:51:00] pierce71588: Hmm, ya I was kind of afraid of that, not sure if that is really possible.
[05:51:00] wagnerrp: or at the very least, get more modern PLN gear
[05:51:36] pierce71588: Well, the one that I got said it could do 200Mbps, but, most comments on all of them say they don't get close to what they claim
[05:51:49] wagnerrp: that sounds about right
[05:52:36] wagnerrp: 200Mbps is the protocol bitrate
[05:53:00] wagnerrp: which due to all kinds of error recovery and collision issues, the actual data throughput is something far far less
[05:53:10] pierce71588: Well maybe I should check and do some more research on that front.
[05:54:56] pierce71588: I also am running this as a front end: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004WO8O9Y/r . . . _o01_s00_i00 it claims that it can do HD content, but as you said, HD can mean a wide range of things. Unfortunately, I have had a hard time finding a lot of small media PCs. Do you know of any decent ones?
[05:55:29] pierce71588: A lot of information in the wiki about front ends really seems outdated unfortunately.
[05:55:34] wagnerrp: the Atom CPU can't really handle much of anything HD
[05:55:50] wagnerrp: the only way to do HD on that box is with VDPAU hardware acceleration using the nVidia graphics
[05:56:07] wagnerrp: which means you're limited to whatever the capabilities of that hardware decoder happen to be
[05:56:46] wagnerrp: you should have no trouble doing bluray, assuming that is content losslessly ripped directly off the disc
[05:59:40] pierce71588: Okay well I will do some research on VDPAU and see where I can get with that. As I said, I also am open to getting a better front end, unfortunately, I can't seem to find any in small form factor. I would build one, but again I really like the small form factors for it.
[06:03:10] pierce71588: well thanks for the help! I will take a look at what you suggested
[06:06:39] Bray90820: how would i define a hostname in my backend
[06:07:01] wagnerrp: the hostname is automatically pulled from the system environment
[06:07:10] [R] ([R]!~rbox@unaffiliated/rbox) has quit (Quit: Leaving)
[06:07:14] wagnerrp: if you want to force your own in place of the default, you can do that in your config.xml
[06:07:22] wagnerrp: with the LocalHostName parameter
[06:07:49] Bray90820: how would i find the host name
[06:08:13] wagnerrp: run `hostname` on the terminal
[06:08:13] Bray90820: hostname
[06:08:37] wagnerrp: yes, that's the name of the command
[06:08:57] Bray90820: if i type in hostname it gives me the hostname of the computer
[06:09:03] wagnerrp: correct
[06:09:16] Bray90820: how would i find the mythtv hostname
[06:09:41] wagnerrp: that is the name mythtv uses to index settings and data in the database
[06:09:50] wagnerrp: unless you specify otherwise in your config.xml
[06:10:14] Bray90820: but how would i find my mythtv hostname
[06:10:47] wagnerrp: i don't understand what you want to know
[06:10:56] wagnerrp: mythtv doesn't use hostnames, it uses IP addresses
[06:11:02] Bray90820: what my mythtv hostname is
[06:11:12] wagnerrp: the hostnames are only used as a key for database information
[06:11:23] Bray90820: well then i am very confused
[06:11:28] wagnerrp: as am i
[06:11:51] wagnerrp: think of your hostname as a profile name
[06:12:04] wagnerrp: all your settings are stored against that profile name in the database
[06:12:11] Bray90820: i am using mythbox on xbmc as a frontend for mythtv and it wants my hostname
[06:12:14] wagnerrp: including the IP addresses to be used for that profile
[06:12:40] wagnerrp: when you want to connect to a mythtv machine, you look up the IP address for that profile in the database
[06:12:51] wagnerrp: you dont need to know the hostname
[06:13:00] wagnerrp: because the database tells you all the machines that are available for access
[06:13:17] Bray90820: that would be the IP of the computer that is running the backend right?
[06:13:25] wagnerrp: what would?
[06:14:00] Bray90820: im the IP address for that profile in the database
[06:14:09] Bray90820: not i'm
[06:14:13] Bray90820: forget i'm
[06:14:14] wagnerrp: running a backend, yes
[06:14:18] Bray90820: ok
[06:14:19] wagnerrp: you can have several backends
[06:14:30] Bray90820: then why is mythbox faling to connect to mysql
[06:14:38] Bray90820: i only have 1 backend
[06:14:41] wagnerrp: that's something you would need to ask the xbmc folks
[06:14:58] wagnerrp: mysql is a completely independent entity from your backend
[06:15:17] wagnerrp: just like your frontend and backend can exist on different machines, so can your database
[06:15:43] Bray90820: yea that's what i have right now
[06:15:51] Bray90820: different machines
[06:16:27] Bray90820: what i am thinking is there is something wrong with mysql on my backend computer because in mythtv control center when i try to test the conencting of mysql it fails
[06:17:18] wagnerrp: did you configure your mysql server to listen on the network?
[06:17:38] wagnerrp: did you create remote credentials to allow remote machines to log in over the network?
[06:17:54] Bray90820: yes i did
[06:18:29] Bray90820: i used...
[06:18:29] Bray90820: sudo dpkg-reconfigure mysql-server-5.5
[06:19:35] wagnerrp: i used "vim my.cnf; /usr/local/etc/rc.d/mysql-server restart"
[06:19:56] wagnerrp: but if dpkg can do what you need, more power to you
[06:20:41] Bray90820: that's just the code they gave on earlier to use
[06:20:47] Bray90820: on here earlyer

[10:04:08] Seeker`: Both my DVB-T and DVB-S2 tuner cards stopped being able to get a lock on anything between 2am and 6pm yesterday. I've since tried all of the different dvb-related command line utilities I can find and they are unable to detect any channels at all. I know the aerial is still good as a TV in the house can still recieve DVB-T. Both cards worked perfectly up until that point.

[10:07:21] wizbit: Seeker`: try re-tuning the channels on a different multiplex
[10:07:56] wizbit: check to see if there are any problems with the transmitter, maybe engineering works
[10:09:20] Seeker`: wizbit, I've tried using tools like w_scan to tune all frequencies, and there isn't anything on any of them apparently. No reported engineering works on any of the transmitters nearby
[10:09:42] wizbit: shutdown your machine, remove the power
[10:09:54] wizbit: reboot so it puts the firmware back in fresh
[10:10:01] wizbit: a cold boot
[10:10:05] Seeker`: did that, ensured that the nova-t 500 was detected in a cold state
[10:10:51] SteveGoodey: DVB-T and DVB-S2 are different platforms, Over the air/Satellite. Seems odd both should go down at the same time!
[10:10:52] wizbit: are you sure your antena is ok
[10:11:39] Seeker`: what SteveGoodey said. Plus another TV in the house can get DVB-T ok
[10:12:21] wizbit: seems strange to have 2x dead cards
[10:12:30] wizbit: can you remove a card and test it on another pc?
[10:13:43] Seeker`: probably, but it would involve moving a PC to be closer to a socket. Havent' tried that yet as I only started looking in to the problem at about 11pm last night
[10:15:00] wizbit: maybe your pci bus has a fault
[10:15:37] wizbit: dmesg says the card is ok?
[10:15:41] Seeker`: yup
[10:15:53] wizbit: strange
[10:16:16] Seeker`: Thats what I thought. I'm completely stumped
[10:16:23] wizbit: maybe a solar flair from the sun struck down and hit your pc
[10:17:19] Seeker`: only other problem with the PC is that a drive is dying according to SMART
[10:17:47] Seeker`: but thats a storage drive which I have removed from all storage groups now
[10:20:41] wizbit: test the card on another pc if possible

[21:38:03] ViperSBT: I guess I could put all the non-media stuff on a small drive and have it image/backup itself nightly so if this happened again, it would be simply to recreate that drive and not effect anything else?

[21:39:04] wagnerrp: although they've long since been showing their age in performance
[21:39:17] wagnerrp: and i'm a bit cautious on how much longer i can expect them to reliably run

[21:40:45] ViperSBT: Thanks for the chat and thoughts Wagnerrp
[21:40:46] wagnerrp: the plan is to either replace them with a pair of SSDs, or maybe a pair of rotating drives and an SSD as cache

[21:41:14] ViperSBT: I did an SSD for my Bro-in-law.... great performance, but a little buggy sometimes...
[21:41:14] wagnerrp: my backend runs ZFS, and ZFS allows you to define an SSD as an extended disk cache
[21:41:38] wagnerrp: much like the "hybrid" drives on the market, but with a whole lot more smarts behind it
[21:41:40] FnC: afternoone all
[21:42:12] FnC: im running .26 and trying to get the remove commericals script to work as a user job... but it errors out.. not much in the backend log except an error
[21:42:22] wagnerrp: remove commercials script?
[21:42:25] FnC: when i run the same command i get the following... which looks like the error
[21:42:29] wagnerrp: mythcommflag is an application
[21:42:35] wagnerrp: as is mythtranscode
[21:42:36] FnC: wagnerrp: http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Script_-_RemoveCommercials
[21:42:55] FnC: 2013-01–12 15:37:15.955272 E No program data exists for channel 1271 at 20130111182900

[21:43:07] wagnerrp: eew... are you sure you really want to be using that?
[21:43:23] FnC: ...thought i would try it
[21:43:32] wagnerrp: it means you're blindly accepting whatever choices are made by the commercial detector, and permanently applying them to your recordings
[21:43:36] FnC: ....my main goal is hopefully to remove commecials
[21:43:51] wagnerrp: no such behavior is built in, because the developers of that commercial detector don't trust it
[21:43:54] FnC: ...yeah, but it says the script makes a backup of the original. so i thought i would see how good it is
[21:44:15] wagnerrp: why bother removing the commercials if you're just going to make a backup?
[21:44:18] FnC: i dont use the frontend so much... and would like a way to do this...
[21:44:34] FnC: thats what im saying, is that it makes a backup in case it doesnt do a good job...
[21:44:50] wagnerrp: right, and you end up with close to twice the used disk space
[21:44:52] FnC: here is my ultimate goal... and maybe you can give some better advise
[21:45:15] FnC: well.. if it doesnt work i can copy it back, if after time its doing a good job, i can delete the orignals
[21:46:30] wagnerrp: the only logging that will produce is on the terminal
[21:46:31] FnC: anyway... i have mythbackend setup with 2 hdhomeruns, and record only HD OTA... (which ive heard does a decent job autodetecting commericals this way) so i have 3 physical tuners, and 4 virtual ones (or whatever they are called) But only 7 show up and not all 8 (not sure whats up with that- but ill save that for another time)
[21:46:38] wagnerrp: and the jobqueue discards any output from the terminal
[21:46:47] wagnerrp: so if you run it through the jobqueue, there will be no logging
[21:47:07] FnC: ultimately i would like to strip commercials, and encode to mkv, and end up with files that are like 1.8–2g instead of 6g +
[21:47:34] wagnerrp: remuxing to mkv won't get you that much, maybe a few percent over MPEG2 PS
[21:48:08] wagnerrp: cutting commercials, and dropping to a PS from a TS, will cut you down from 6–7GB to around 4–4.5GB per recording
[21:48:43] wagnerrp: which is what running mythtranscode losslessly with a cutlist will do
[21:48:47] FnC: so then heres the questions, these folks that download the ones for the internet that are like 2G, how do they look so good and are still out 1080p
[21:49:29] wagnerrp: h264 is designed to run around twice the compression efficiency as MPEG2
[21:49:53] wagnerrp: in practice, with good quality settings and a good compressor, you can get maybe 3x the compression efficiency, while achieving the same quality
[21:50:10] wagnerrp: but that is compressing both from the same master copy, which you don't have access to
[21:50:17] FnC: so these are mpeg-ts whats the difference to PS?
[21:50:37] wagnerrp: since you're recompressing a recompression, best to stick closer to 2x, or as you mentioned, around 2GB, down from 4GB
[21:50:51] wagnerrp: MPEG-TS and MPEG-PS are containers, defined by the MPEG format
[21:51:16] wagnerrp: MPEG covers a whole range of audio and video compression, text, images, and packing
[21:51:30] wagnerrp: TS and PS are alternatives to mkv
[21:51:37] FnC: i thought these were were uncompressed?
[21:51:46] wagnerrp: no, not by a long shot
[21:52:17] FnC: So HD OTA is compressed?
[21:52:21] wagnerrp: uncompressed 1080i30 is around 1.1Gbps
[21:52:50] wagnerrp: no, 750Gbps
[21:52:54] wagnerrp: fudged the keypad
[21:52:59] wagnerrp: Mbps
[21:53:15] wagnerrp: by comparison, the actual video you record is going to be a mere 15Mbps or so
[21:53:29] wagnerrp: almost 50:1 compression
[21:53:51] wagnerrp: and that's on top of the existing colorspace compression, making it actually 100:1 over uncompressed RGB

[21:54:44] FnC: what is that number your saying 1.1GBPbps 750Gbps, 12MBps – like if it were a sheadsheet column header? what would that be called?
[21:54:45] wagnerrp: most commercial media is what is called YUV, where instead of having three color channels of red, green, and blue, you have one B/W channel, and a pair of color channels
[21:55:01] wagnerrp: the B/W channel comes in at full 1920x1080 resolution
[21:55:12] wagnerrp: but the two color channels are only 960x540 resolution
[21:55:21] FnC: overall bit rate?
[21:55:38] wagnerrp: so where RGB video takes 24 bits per pixel, YUV420 only takes 12
[21:56:13] wagnerrp: 1920x1080i30 RGB is 1.5Gbps, the compressed YUV is then 750Mbps

[22:04:37] FnC: for a good high qaulity archive i mean cutting commericals, getting rid of the spanish track and the text tracks... it gunna save me say 2 out of 8g and get me down to like 6 or so?
[22:04:38] wagnerrp: if the broadcasters were using h264, like you see sometimes in Europe, IPTV, or with some satellite or cable providers, those bitrates would be down around 6–8Mbps
[22:05:29] wagnerrp: you shouldn't be hitting 8GB/hr, since that would basically mean there is only the one channel on the mux
[22:05:33] wagnerrp: which is fairly rare
[22:05:46] wagnerrp: 5–7GB/hr is more common
[22:06:16] wagnerrp: figure with commercial clipping, removing extra channels, remuxing to a more efficient container, you'll cut that down by around 30–40%

[22:07:25] wagnerrp: right
[22:07:43] wagnerrp: 7GB is the high side, 6GB is much more common
[22:08:06] FnC: so still how to get that down to closer to 2 gb
[22:08:20] FnC: er less than 3 without loosing too much video quality?
[22:08:41] wagnerrp: to get down to 2GB, you'll need to recompress

[22:09:15] FnC: looks like this one is a AMD Phenom(tm) 9550 Quad-Core Processor

[22:23:53] wagnerrp: those likely have no data of significance in them to worry about
[22:24:13] FnC: ok

[22:25:20] FnC: when i look in mythweb, i see a transcode button now... but no way to tell if thats doing a lossless
[22:25:38] wagnerrp: it uses whatever the default transcode profile for that recording rule is
[22:26:16] FnC: so im probably better off scripting something to run transcodes overnight, from the command line?
[22:26:28] FnC: after ive done the cutlist by hand
[22:26:48] wagnerrp: if you want to transcode, write some script that incorporates the lossless and lossy steps all in one
[22:27:06] wagnerrp: or skip the lossless alltogether, and use a lossy transcode you can define a cutlist for
[22:27:45] FnC: benefits of doing it one way or another?
[22:28:02] wagnerrp: the first way will be easier, the second will be slightly faster by a few minutes
[22:28:21] FnC: but both same quality in the end?
[22:28:30] wagnerrp: in theory
[22:29:22] FnC: so if what i got gives me a 1 hour show but will take 4hours to transcode... is there a reasonablly priced CPU out there, that will get things way quicker??
[22:29:49] wagnerrp: anything better will require new board and new memory as well
[22:29:58] FnC: i get that...
[22:30:17] FnC: just wonder if its like a 800 $ cpu, to get me a show done in 30 mins... or something liek 200
[22:30:37] wagnerrp: for transcoding, you're better off with the old Phenom II units, or something intel
[22:31:11] wagnerrp: note that the current bulldozer chips only have one FPU for each two integer units
[22:31:20] wagnerrp: and transcoding is FPU heavy
[22:31:43] wagnerrp: so even though one might be reported as an 8-core chip, it will behave like a 4-core chip in terms of performance
[22:31:59] wagnerrp: an older 6-core STARS (phenom II) chip would do better
[22:32:50] FnC: what kind of times would i get for a 1 hour show with those
[22:33:56] wagnerrp: figure a phenom 2 will do modestly better per clock than a phenom, and an ivy bridge will do considerably better per clock
[22:34:07] wagnerrp: then just scale linearly based off clockrate and core count

[22:34:48] FnC: so ivy bridge > phenom 2 6 core > phenom quad core
[22:35:10] wagnerrp: assuming the ivy bridge part is a quad core or better
[22:35:33] wagnerrp: my 3.3GHz dual core would underperform one of the 6-core phenom 2s
[22:36:25] wagnerrp: a bulldozer will do better than a phenom 2 per clock, but figure you need to halve the advertised core count (or use the "module" count)
[22:38:17] FnC: i see... well i might have to revisit that when its time
[22:38:35] FnC: a little disapointed that its gunna take 4 hours though ;-/
[22:39:56] wagnerrp: video encoding is very much non-trivial, and very much asymmetric
[22:40:04] wagnerrp: it takes a long longer to encode than it does to decode

[23:17:33] swalberg: Hi, I'm trying to get a mceusb device working as a blaster on Mythbuntu (12.04.1). I've configured it in the control centre, it's detected by the kernel and has the mceusb module loaded, it can receive signals, but I can't get it to transmit. irsend SEND_ONCE DCT2000 ADOWN doesn't give any errors but also doesn't appear to send anything to the STB (or, if it's sent, it's not received.) I don't know where I should look next, does anyone have some
[23:17:33] swalberg: advice?

[23:18:33] swalberg: lsusb reports it as a " ID 1934:5168 Feature Integration Technology Inc. (Fintek) F71610A or F71612A Consumer Infrared Receiver/Transceiver", most of what I can find by Googling is old stuff where that USB id wasn't recognized by the kernel which is not the case here
[23:21:09] swalberg: lirc config, if it helps: https://gist.github.com/4520978
[23:28:28] FnC: So i got my cutlist now, and was gunna transcode this, but dont see anywhee to remove the second audio track
