[18:55:32] peterbennett: stuartm: Stuart? Are you there?
[19:00:45] dekarl: rmeden: any plans to offer "out of county" lineups for SD? e.g. "everything we have about dutch cable lineup x"
[19:03:01] stuartm: peterbennett: yes, I'm here
[19:03:56] peterbennett: Regarding building without opengl-video – opengl video does not work on raspberry pi
[19:05:04] peterbennett: I am trying different build options but probably should disable vdpau, opengl-video, vaapi because these will not work.
[19:05:43] peterbennett: I suppose you would like openmax to still work correctly even if it was built with opengl-video that does not work?
[19:06:04] stuartm: right, and while it may not work, it shouldn't be necessary to disable it before an unrelated feature will work
[19:06:33] peterbennett: I also noticed it does not add OpenMAX High Quality to me any more if I delet it, so I am looking into that
[19:06:36] stuartm: the presence of opengl video paths shouldn't affect opengl rendering
[19:06:53] stuartm: so somewhere the ifdefs need tweaking
[19:06:56] peterbennett: OK I take the point. What actually happens when you do that?
[19:08:58] peterbennett: (i.e. when you run with opengl-video enabled)
[19:09:01] stuartm: when I have it enabled? Well I can't be sure that was the change which helped, but before I rebuilt with that option (+ explicit release vs profile build and SDL) enabling the threaded or opengl render had no effect, it was still using softblend
[19:09:27] peterbennett: I see
[19:09:35] stuartm: logs might have been revealing but because of limited space I wasn't running with logging enabled
[19:10:53] peterbennett: Regarding the hdmi audio, my test setup does not have hdmi, so I have to hook up to the TV in the living room or bedroom to try it out. last time I tried it there was no difficulty with hdmi audio.
[19:10:55] stuartm: if I had more time I would obviously have experimented more
[19:11:22] peterbennett: I will take my spare raspberry pi to the living room and try the hdmi again
[19:32:43] peterbennett: stuartm: if you don't disable vaapi there are compile errors, so at least that one must be disabled.
[19:34:40] stuartm: peterbennett: compiles fine here, though I probably don't have the vaapi headers installed so it defaults to disabled anyway
[19:35:00] stuartm: --enable-openmax --disable-hdpvr --disable-backend --disable-ivtv --disable-ceton --disable-dvb --disable-hdhomerun --disable-vbox --enable-opengl --disable-opengl-themepainter --compile-type=release --enable-sdl --disable-opengl-video
[19:35:07] stuartm: is what I'm using
[19:35:42] stuartm: note that --disable-backend is just a placebo, doesn't really do much :)
[19:35:53] stuartm: purely symbolic in this case
[19:36:18] stuartm: disabling the recorders also doesn't serve much purpose, a minor space saving at best
[19:36:59] peterbennett: stuartm: I am working on getting it to work with the minimum number of overrides
[19:37:00] stuartm: only ones which actually do anything useful are --enable-openmax --enable-opengl --disable-opengl-themepainter --compile-type=release --enable-sdl --disable-opengl-video
[19:37:19] stuartm: and arguably SDL isn't really needed at all
[19:37:41] peterbennett: This works: --prefix=/usr --compile-type=profile --enable-openmax --disable-vdpau --disable-opengl-video --enable-opengl --disable-opengl-themepainter --disable-vaapi
[19:38:53] stuartm: right, release build is again a minor optimisation
[19:38:56] stuartm: profile is default
[19:39:19] peterbennett: I need profile for debugging
[19:39:39] stuartm: yes, but you don't need to specify it, since we made it the default years ago
[19:40:04] stuartm: and unless a subsequent configure change has broken that it should work without
[19:40:45] peterbennett: oh – maybe the default should be release so all those folks who compile it at home don't have multi-gigbytes of extra stuff
[19:40:59] stuartm: not strictly necessary to disable vdpau/vaapi – if it doesn't build without those can you open a ticket with the build log?
[19:41:07] peterbennett: sorry megabytes
[19:41:51] peterbennett: vaapi is getting conflicting definitions
[19:41:54] stuartm: peterbennett: we made it default because we kept getting useless backtraces from people utterly dependent on packages who were unwilling to rebuild from source to add debugging symbols
[19:42:04] peterbennett: I tried to figure it out but evetually gave up
[19:42:43] stuartm: the extra binary size was outweighed by the benefit to debugging crashes
[19:42:56] peterbennett: Ok that makes sense, so I shouldn't recommend release in the wiki
[19:44:12] stuartm: release builds are something I'd only bother with for the Pi because of the constraints of the device, but it's not necessary – I just can't ever imagine trying to run gdb on the thing, so going with a release build was no loss
[19:44:46] peterbennett: gdb works just fine on Raspberry Pi
[19:45:03] peterbennett: I use it all the time
[19:45:15] stuartm: not painfully slow?
[19:45:21] peterbennett: Nope
[19:45:27] stuartm: interesting
[19:45:34] stuartm: I just assumed it would be
[19:46:02] peterbennett: You probably need a hard drive for the file systems, which I have.
[19:49:15] peterbennett: I found the stupid mistake that causes OpenMAX Hight Quality to not be added
[19:50:21] stuartm: well, time to clear the desk and start soldering this Pi Zero to a stack of components
[19:51:43] peterbennett: stuartm: What are you building?
[19:54:58] stuartm: this weekend it's a camera trap – total cost including the tools I had to buy will be more than getting one of the shelf, and I'm looking at best a 3–4 day lifespan on the LiPo battery pack vs months for a commercial version, but I'm doing it to amuse myself :)
[19:57:32] stuartm: spent £25 alone on a spiral flute step drill bit to cut the aperture in the case for the PIR sensor ...
[20:00:14] peterbennett: My hdmi test failed – frontend won't start – database schema version changed .
[20:03:34] peterbennett: stuartm: I rebuilt with minimum overrides so that opengl video is enabled and the opengl OSD is working.
[20:04:05] peterbennett: stuartm: This is what I used ./configure --prefix=/usr --compile-type=profile --disable-vaapi
[20:04:29] peterbennett: I will do some more testing and commit the fix for the opengl high quality profile
[20:04:55] dekarl: peterbennett: is our "interesting" build system the reason for missing plugins in mythtv light?
[20:05:01] stuartm: interesting, I'll have to try it again then – though since I'm building on the Pi (no cross building) and I don't have space for ccache, it takes hours to rebuild
[20:05:41] stuartm: I really should put a 16GB SD card in there instead of the measly 8GB I'm using now
[20:05:43] peterbennett: I have a plugins build for mythtv-light but I don't know the dependencies
[20:06:10] stuartm: and this might force me to fix the lack of a housekeeper for remotecache
[20:06:16] peterbennett: stuartm: You don't have a spare hard drive lying around?
[20:06:46] peterbennett: Build is really nice with a 5GB ccache
[20:07:30] peterbennett: Where can i get a list of dependencies for installing plugins?
[20:08:00] peterbennett: People compain teh plugins dont work because the package does not install the deps
[20:08:20] peterbennett: Personally I have never used the plugins
[20:08:31] dekarl: I think this is the best source for dependencies on raspbian https://github.com/MythTV/packaging/blob/mast . . . n/control.in
[20:08:49] peterbennett: Creating teh package was a very interesting experience
[20:08:57] stuartm: not a spare usb HDD drive no, they are all filled with backups etc – I might possibly have a thumb drive hiding somewhere that could be used only when building
[20:09:41] stuartm: mythmusic is the only plugin I use any more
[20:10:25] stuartm: mythnews should be tossed on the fire, if anyone wants the functionality it would be better to start again from scratch on that
[20:11:03] stuartm: mythweather can be useful, if weather reports themselves weren't mostly useless
[20:11:35] stuartm: mythzoneminder is a little niche
[20:13:14] stuartm: mythgallery is good, if you can be bothered to actually catalogue your photos and if you're the sort of person who invites friends/family over to show them the holiday snaps
[20:13:27] peterbennett: Thumb drives and SD cards can be slow.
[20:14:12] stuartm: nothing wrong with that, but personally my photos rarely see the light of day except for the very best ones which one day I will have professionally printed and use to decorate the walls of my office
[20:14:57] jheizer: Funny as I just last week used a rpi to build a networked digital photo frame
[20:15:28] jheizer: Same reason, they just sit there doing nothing getting backed up to multiple places.
[20:15:53] jheizer: I don't know if you all have used the wifi on a pi3, but it is HORRIBLE
[20:16:25] peterbennett: I think most people's friends would not be really interested in a slide show on the TV.
[20:16:30] stuartm: jheizer: works brilliantly here – I use it on my RPi frontend for streaming
[20:17:12] jheizer: I've tried every trick I could find. Disabling the power management, changing to a lower channel on the AP, etc. Still miserably bad.
[20:17:29] peterbennett: I disconnected the wifi because I have a wired connection.

[20:17:56] jheizer: I had it rotating pictures every 10 seconds and lazy loading one ahead and it couldn't keep up.
[20:18:00] stuartm: mythnetvision is all kinds of broken, mythgame is niche ... so really, what I'm saying is that it's not necessary to build all plugins :)
[20:19:21] peterbennett: stuartm: From my point of view it is not necessary to build any of them :)
[20:19:40] dekarl1: stuartm, mythnetvision needs to go the way of the phoenix and be redone with support for a central directory of available clips :)
[20:20:02] jheizer: My chromecast has replaced anything I did with any plugins.

[20:20:47] stuartm: jheizer: the shortcomings of the small antenna on the RPi might be overcome here because I'm using a beast of a wireless router
[20:20:48] dekarl1: which gallery is mythgallery? the old one, the new one or the really new one?
[20:21:14] dekarl1 is now known as dekarl
[20:21:41] stuartm: wait, what's the difference between the new one and the really new one?
[20:21:53] jheizer: stuartm, glad it does work for you. I moved mine to be line of sight in the same room and it is still meh.
[20:22:59] dekarl: ahh, the really new one is now part of core... https://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Gallery
[20:23:20] stuartm: jheizer: two rooms over, through solid iron heavy brick walls, streams HD video perfectly :/
[20:23:25] peterbennett: All I know is that I had ti include --disable-mythgallery in the plugins configure
[20:23:30] peterbennett: for 0/28
[20:23:35] stuartm: Router for reference – http://www.netgear.co.uk/home/products/networ . . . s/R7500.aspx
[20:24:13] dekarl: stuartm: from the release notes 0.28: Replacement Gallery using MythUI & storage groups Backend manages images in Storage Group and supports multiple frontends/service clients
[20:24:46] stuartm: dekarl, that's the new one, don't remember a version between that and the old one
[20:25:09] dekarl: oh, I thought there was a rewrite of mythgallery shortly before it
[20:25:12] jheizer: stuartm, grr netgear. Mine has proven to be less than stellar. I jumped on AC too soon.
[20:25:13] jheizer: http://www.netgear.com/home/products/networki . . . s/R6300.aspx
[20:25:16] stuartm: unless you count the mythui conversion of the old one
[20:25:26] stuartm: but that wasn't a complete re-write
[20:25:52] stuartm: jheizer: you seem to have bad luck with WiFi in general :)
[20:26:19] stuartm: seems it's currently using Channel 13 for 2.4Ghz
[20:26:34] jheizer: True, it works, just not very good range.
[20:26:55] stuartm: which makes sense, most routers default to US channels which leaves 13 free most of the time
[20:27:27] jheizer: Funny as 13 was not working until just recently. And some people reported massive issues on 11 but dropping to 6 helped.
[20:38:17] stuartm: 13 only works if you select the correct wireless regulatory region
[20:38:52] stuartm: ok, no soldering tonight after all, got distracted ...
