[10:25:15] NotJimCarrey: password is correct
[10:25:19] NotJimCarrey: even went so far as to apt-get purge all mysql & mythtv
[10:39:18] stuarta: where is this from and to?
[10:39:30] NotJimCarrey: dunno if it'll cause problems later, but tired and don't care
[10:39:39] NotJimCarrey: running sid and installed libssl0.9.8_0.9.8o-4squeeze14_i386.deb
[10:39:54] NotJimCarrey: works again
[10:40:00] stuarta: ie. 1 machine with frontend & backend, etc?

[10:49:45] NotJimCarrey: yeah, several times

[10:50:06] NotJimCarrey: installing libssl0.9.8_0.9.8o-4squeeze14_i386.deb fixed it
[10:50:13] stuarta: wtf?
[10:50:36] NotJimCarrey: it worked, so meh
[10:51:07] NotJimCarrey: may run into hell if i try logging back in after reboot, but i'll worry about that then
[10:51:10] NotJimCarrey: lol
[10:51:37] NotJimCarrey: it would be an easy fix anyway
[10:52:52] NotJimCarrey: it had caused problems with xbmc as well, though i'd forgotten. i had just disabled mysql at compile
[10:59:03] NotJimCarrey: though since libssl1.0.0 & libssl0.9.8 installed their support files in seperate locations, i foresee no issues
[10:59:39] NotJimCarrey: (0.9.8 uses /usr/lib & 1.0.0 uses /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu)

[18:36:08] zero_coder: how does this rewinding of live tv works?
[18:38:26] myth-guy (myth-guy!d06b1e2d@gateway/web/freenode/ip.208.107.30.45) has joined #mythtv-users
[18:38:29] wagnerrp: the same way as any other DVR
[18:38:33] wagnerrp: you don't watch live tv
[18:38:40] wagnerrp: you record tv, and watch the recording in progress
[18:38:49] wagnerrp: there's about a two second delay
[18:39:07] zero_coder: so i can fast forward two seconds ?
[18:39:26] wagnerrp: no, you can fast forward until whatever the software considers "live"
[18:39:40] wagnerrp: which is approximately two seconds of buffer behind what is coming into the tuner
[18:40:10] zero_coder: then suppose if i pause it. the tv goes on being recorded?
[18:40:26] wagnerrp: correct
[18:40:44] zero_coder: so what and deletes once it is played?
[18:41:12] zero_coder: and deletes once it is played?*
[18:42:24] zero_coder: and about rewinding, mythtv keep buffer for the channel being played?
[18:43:49] wagnerrp: until the end of the show, at which point it starts a new buffer
[18:43:58] wagnerrp: livetv recordings occur just like scheduled recordings
[18:44:02] wagnerrp: being broken up at show boundaries
[18:44:20] wagnerrp: during a livetv session, mythtv will automatically jump from one buffer to the next as you reach then end of one
[18:44:32] zero_coder: but most of the cable providers doesnt even provide channel guide
[18:44:46] zero_coder: then it will have to use something like time slots ,right?
[18:45:02] zero_coder: like after 7.30 a new buffer
[18:45:08] wagnerrp: no, you provide guide data
[18:45:21] wagnerrp: assuming you're in north america, you download it from schedules direct
[18:45:36] zero_coder: from india
[18:45:37] zero_coder: :)
[18:45:49] wagnerrp: don't know about that. you would have to look for an xmltv grabber
[18:45:59] zero_coder: somewhere cable tv's are still in stone age
[18:46:17] zero_coder: its still PAL cable tv i suppose
[18:47:31] Scopeuk-AFK is now known as Scopeuk
[18:47:41] zero_coder: besides I want to set it up on a raspberry pi
[18:47:53] zero_coder: it doesnt have a big HDD
[18:48:05] wagnerrp: or any hard drive, for that matter
[18:48:19] wagnerrp: just a couple hundred MB of flash
[18:48:22] lautriv: EIT works fine here.
[18:48:36] zero_coder: cool
[18:48:37] wagnerrp: EIT requires digital television
[18:48:56] lautriv: wagnerrp, is there somewhere no digital one ?
[18:49:05] wagnerrp: PAL is an analog format
[18:49:44] zero_coder: yep. In india its still analog :)
[18:49:56] lautriv: since PAL is a format, it can be delivered digitally.
[18:50:07] wagnerrp: erm... no

[18:50:42] wagnerrp: i mean the encoding scheme and modulation
[18:50:45] zero_coder: PAL can be converted to digital using a tv capture card i suppose
[18:51:01] lautriv: wagnerrp, that's another part ...
[18:52:01] zero_coder: hey, does mythtv work on raspberry pi?
[18:52:05] wagnerrp: nope
[18:52:11] zero_coder: why not?
[18:52:15] wagnerrp: not enough memory, not enough CPU
[18:52:24] wagnerrp: no meaningful storage to speak of
[18:52:49] lautriv: and too less decoding caps
[18:53:01] zero_coder: there's 512 mb ram and 800 mhz
[18:53:25] wagnerrp: that 800MHz is roughly equivalent to a 200–250MHz Pentium II
[18:53:45] wagnerrp: you're nearly two orders of magnitude off a typical modern desktop
[18:53:54] wagnerrp: most units are only 256MB
[18:54:03] wagnerrp: and a good chunk of that memory is eaten up by the GPU
[18:54:14] wagnerrp: and you're still lacking any meaningful storage
[18:54:27] zero_coder: an external usb?
[18:54:38] wagnerrp: all IO is performed through a single common USB bus
[18:54:38] zombor (zombor!~zombor__@kohana/developer/zombor) has quit (Ping timeout: 240 seconds)
[18:54:49] zero_coder: or the os can be stored in 8gb card or so
[18:54:55] wagnerrp: so your storage, tuners, and network access are all pumped through a single bus rated for 480Mbps
[18:55:02] wagnerrp: which in practice isn't even going to hit half that
[18:57:34] wagnerrp: don't forget that uncompressed PAL is pushing over 100Mbps all on its own
[18:57:50] wagnerrp: so you're going to struggle even handling that alone
[18:58:00] wagnerrp: not to mention trying to compress that in real time on an RPi
[18:58:23] wagnerrp: having it as a backend is pretty much a non-starter unless you've got a hardware encoder like a PVR-USB2, or HVR-1900
[18:58:39] zero_coder: so there is nothing I can do ??
[18:58:55] zero_coder: i want to make something like Tivo with pi
[18:59:06] wagnerrp: get better hardware
[18:59:18] zero_coder: what would be the min requirement?
[18:59:27] wagnerrp: that thing is below the recommended requirements of mythtv when it was first released a decade ago
[18:59:51] zero_coder: what is the recommended requirement now?
[19:00:10] wagnerrp: probably an Atom is about the lowest you should consider
[19:00:28] zero_coder: :P
[19:00:30] wagnerrp: any Athlon X2, Core 2 or better should suffice
[19:00:31] zero_coder: thts too much
[19:00:43] zero_coder: core 2? u gotta be kiddin
[19:01:01] wagnerrp: why? those things are like seven years old

[19:07:43] Korny: I'm building a new box for my living room because honestly it sucks having a combined frontend/backend setup with grandparents around

[19:26:58] zero_coder: so a mythtv wont work on arm11 processors :P
[19:27:13] wagnerrp: sure, it will run
[19:27:17] wagnerrp: it just won't run fast enough
[19:27:34] wagnerrp: now an A9 or A15, you've got a fighting chance
[19:27:37] zero_coder: what will be the trouble?
[19:27:47] wagnerrp: but ARM6 CPUs are just very slow
[19:28:01] wagnerrp: the scheduler needs to run in a reasonable amount of time
[19:28:11] wagnerrp: you need power to compress video (if using an old analog framegrabber)
[19:28:21] wagnerrp: you need power to decompress and render video for playback
[19:28:56] zero_coder: but the tv capture card will do that , right?
[19:28:57] wagnerrp: you need memory for various things, and mythtv hasn't bothered to be very tight on memory since it's been ten years since PCs commonly came with less than a GB of memory
[19:29:15] wagnerrp: assuming you buy a more expensive card, you can find some with hardware compression
[19:29:41] Korny: zero_coder, what is your end goal?
[19:30:01] zero_coder: a pvr with pi
[19:30:14] Korny: For fun? or do you have a reason for running it on a pi?
[19:30:15] wagnerrp: with zero budget, apparently
[19:30:29] zero_coder: some business plans
[19:30:58] Korny: Because after you buy the licensing for the codex for a pi you'd be better off buying a lowend amd or intel
[19:31:01] zero_coder: like selling it
[19:31:01] wagnerrp: if you're looking to do some coding, you _could_ use an RPi as a frontend
[19:31:03] Korny: prce wise
[19:31:24] zero_coder: and let the cable providers do the back end
[19:31:30] wagnerrp: that would require writing an OpenMAX decoder for MythTV, to allow it to use the hardware decoders on the RPi, rather than software decoding
[19:31:45] wagnerrp: and considerable cleanup of memory usage if you intend to run it on the 256MB version
[19:32:12] zero_coder: nope i am using rpi b model
[19:32:15] zero_coder: 512 mb ram
[19:32:18] wagnerrp: but the backend? you're better off just getting a real machine for that. especially if you intend to do it on a cable system with a lot of channels
[19:32:31] wagnerrp: more channels and more guide data means geometrically longer scheduling runs
[19:33:10] zero_coder: yep , i want to use it on a cable system
[19:33:10] ** Korny likes his i3 for his back end, its a bit overkill but even with 6 hd's it only pulls 35–40 watts while not playing anything but recording 7 streems **
[19:34:27] kormoc: man, the RPi is *slow*. I have a model B and I can't believe how bloody glacier it is for anything database related, even with a $120 super fast SD card. It's not io bound anymore, but the memory is just slow and the cpu is woefully underpowered
[19:34:54] zero_coder: :P
[19:37:28] ** Korny wishes there was a way to access hard drives from a cell phone chipset, the newer 4 core 1.8 ghz chips could make an interesting backend if we could easly attach storage **
[19:37:53] wagnerrp: a cell phone chipset has no reason accessing hard drives
[19:38:05] wagnerrp: you're not going to stuff a SATA drive in your phone
[19:38:21] wagnerrp: now that doesn't mean you can't find ARM boards with SATA controllers and ports
[19:40:42] Korny: But you also have to look at costs, you can build a decent backend for 100 dollars or less other then disk drives
[19:41:29] zero_coder (zero_coder!~zero_code@49.203.145.209) has quit (Read error: Connection reset by peer)
[19:41:43] Korny: well maybe 120 with new parts, and if its a newer intel it will idle along at 30–40 watts total or less
[19:42:37] wagnerrp: with a newer intel, it will idle closer to 15–20W
[19:42:50] wagnerrp: the rest is inefficiencies of your power supply running so far under its designed load
[19:43:41] Korny: We've had this discussion before, but what i'm getting at is gettign a power sipping Rpi for price or energy efficiency will take a very long time to pay for itself
[19:44:02] wagnerrp: we really need to see PSU manufacturers start to sell multi-stage power supplies
[19:44:29] wagnerrp: ones that have a high power mode for heavy load, and a low power mode when the machine goes idle
[19:44:37] wagnerrp: or in standby
[19:44:39] Korny: The pico supplies aren't bad if we had a good way to get a clean 12volt
[19:45:16] wagnerrp: 12V is honestly a bit too low, requires too much amperage
[19:45:28] Korny: But thats what the pico supplies dake
[19:45:28] wagnerrp: i'd love to see some kind of household standard for 24V or 48V power
[19:45:32] Korny: *take
[19:46:04] wagnerrp: for relatively low power consumption like the PicoPSUs offer, 12V isn't bad

[19:51:06] Korny: Yes
[19:51:10] wagnerrp: tablets, phones, they're all primarily toys
[19:51:18] wagnerrp: media and library access platforms
[19:51:35] Korny: I mean will all our PC's just be all in one pieces of crap
[19:52:03] zero_coder: wagnerrp : tivo comes with a harddisk ?
[19:52:09] wagnerrp: as korny said, yes
[19:52:23] zero_coder: sorry , i just didnt see that
[19:52:49] Korny: Most cable and satellite ones do as well. Usually much smaller then consumer hard drivess

[19:53:40] zero_coder: but . tivo started like 10–15 years ago.. they wont be having a better hardware than pi back then
[19:53:55] Korny: They 480i
[19:54:19] wagnerrp: tivo started on a little MIPS CPU running at a couple dozen MHz, combined with a bunch of custom hardware to handle video processing
[19:54:19] Korny: or pal
[19:54:23] zero_coder: and now its 1080i?
[19:54:28] wagnerrp: the difference is tivo was _designed_ to run on that hardware
[19:54:38] wagnerrp: mythtv is designed to run on common x86 PCs
[19:54:40] Korny: Dedicated hardware can do amazing things
[19:54:51] Korny: Look at gaming consoles
[19:55:14] zero_coder: okie
[19:55:21] wagnerrp: when you know exactly what hardware you're going to run on, you can heavily optimize for that platform
[19:55:26] Korny: If you have every single device is always the same and the varriables are always known then its much easier to program for
[19:55:28] zombor (zombor!~zombor__@kohana/developer/zombor) has quit (Ping timeout: 260 seconds)
[19:55:31] zero_coder: i need a better hardware for backend
[19:55:41] wagnerrp: when your hardware is wide and varied, you can't optimize as well, but you open up a great deal of flexibility
[19:56:21] Korny: Backends don't NEED that much hardware, other then commercial skipping they really don't do any heavy duty tasks, some database stuff but nothing a decently modern cpu will have issues with
[19:56:36] zero_coder: but i am doing it on a pi
[19:57:15] Korny: wagnerrp, this reminds me of our round and rounds with that dude who kept breaking stuff
[19:57:18] wagnerrp: you are currently doing it on Pi? or you insist on doing it on a Pi?
[19:57:18] kormoc: it'll work, but the database will take forever, and you really need a very costly SD card to really make it semi-useful
[19:57:47] zero_coder: i am going round and round
