lol

[00:00:47]

mchou:

do not even use that as back up

[00:01:04]

JohnP789:

Funny that I don't see any filesystem errors emitted from that.

[00:01:34]

clever:

linux usualy doesnt give up very easily, and may retry until it recovers

[00:01:43]

mchou:

the file system doesnt figure out HW errors

[00:01:53]

clever:

where as windows will bluescreen if there are any bad sectors durring bootup

[00:02:08]

clever:

and if i mirror the disk, and leave those sectors unfixed, it boots without a problem

[00:02:24]

mchou:

that's like saying your raid is OK even if you have bad firmware on the raid controller

[00:02:26]

clever:

io error==bluescreen, missing data==no problem...

ive had similar problems when my sata controler was sharing an irq

iamlindoro, i just read what u said in response to jump points not working while deep in mythvideo and i checked key bindings they are all ok but noticed you said you could reproduce using a non listing view i use gallery by default and i tried listings and it worked ok

[00:59:10]

oobe:

also i noticed video listings wont remember my last position event though i have video tree remembers last selected position

[01:08:40]

oobe:

sphery, i sorry about this morning i took what you said the wrong way

[01:10:00]

sphery:

oobe: I wasn't offended. And I'm sure I could have found another way to say that was a pretty vague question.

[01:12:57]

its strange i upgraded yesterday so it has all my old prefences from .21 and jump points work but not from deep in a mythvideo menu

[01:16:21]

wagnerrp:

does anyone make a case that can be VESA mounted on both sides?

[01:16:56]

such that you can mount it to a monitor, and then the whole unit can be attached to a standard VESA mount

hi

[01:19:19]

cerasus:

I just upgraded to .31 and the new xc5000, freaking awsome

[01:20:20]

cerasus:

I have the following question I am running at 1000MHz, underclocked Athlon x2 that's capable of 2.6GHz

[01:21:02]

cerasus:

playing tv does'nt have a performance penalty interestingly

[01:21:10]

[R] ([R]!n=rbox@unaffiliated/rbox) has quit ("Leaving")

[01:21:15]

wagnerrp:

thats because its not underclocked

[01:21:21]

wagnerrp:

it is temporarily scaled back

[01:21:21]

Dagmar:

You're not using the ondemand powersave module, why?

[01:21:43]

wagnerrp:

as soon as you start using >80% CPU, it cranks the speed back up

[01:21:54]

wagnerrp:

so during playback, you might be running 1.8GHz

[01:23:01]

cerasus:

because hell'uv noisy although I can tweak I haven't so far. So only for compiling I max it out

[01:23:35]

mgisbers is now known as mgisbers_away

[01:24:21]

wagnerrp:

why not get a better heatsink, or a larger/slower fan?

[01:24:39]

wagnerrp:

you obviously have an aftermarket heatsink

[01:24:53]

cerasus:

my question is the following, what to look for when buying a card?

[01:25:00]

wagnerrp:

because the ones AMD has been shipping for the entire A64 line are fairly quiet

[01:25:05]

cerasus:

wagnerrp: it's on my wishlist

[01:25:06]

wagnerrp:

quiet enough youre not going to hear it over a TV

[01:26:22]

wagnerrp:

except for maybe the new 140W Phenoms, those might have an excessive, loud fan

[01:26:31]

wagnerrp:

havent tested any of those personally

[01:26:49]

squidly:

wagnerrp: from what I hear they are not that loud

[01:27:01]

squidly:

but the people using them work them as a normal desktop

[01:28:23]

cerasus:

well is quite shocking how smooth an athlon x2 at 1000MHz runs, with kde, compiz, the cube thingy, two webcams etc.

[01:28:50]

wagnerrp:

compiz and the cube thingy are run off the video card, not the CPU

[01:29:06]

wagnerrp:

and generally, mythtv does not play nice with any of that stuff

[01:29:28]

wagnerrp:

not to mention you would only ever use that stuff on a desktop, not something connected to a tv

[01:29:37]

wagnerrp:

usually on such systems, a louder fan is acceptable

[01:32:26]

cerasus:

what's a better card than a pinnacle i800 HDTV??

[01:32:32]

wagnerrp:

anyway, as to why you can play myth content with it... what specifically is the content you want to play?

[01:33:01]

cerasus:

I don't know if anything more technological is required to tune digital/analog

[01:33:07]

RyeBrye:

more importantly, why do you have two webcams and the compiz cube thingy. what kind of business are you running :O

[01:33:18]

wagnerrp:

a 1GHz A64 is going to be straining to push full bitrate ATSC

[01:33:37]

wagnerrp:

luckily youve got the extra core to do deint and other tasks

[01:33:42]

cerasus:

just messing around, I just installed 2.6.31

[01:33:51]

wagnerrp:

but youre probably close to the limit of capacity at that speed

[01:34:36]

RyeBrye:

nobody here has played around with BFS in their myth systems have they?

[01:34:44]

wagnerrp:

BtrFS?

[01:35:08]

RyeBrye:

the scheduler

[01:35:33]

wagnerrp:

anyway, like Dagmar said, you should really be using the online clocking capability, rather than doing it in the BIOS as you seem to be

[01:35:45]

RyeBrye:

yeah, ondemand is pretty good

[01:35:55]

wagnerrp:

let the processor run at the speed it wants to

[01:36:10]

wagnerrp:

and for most tasks, you will still remain at that 1GHz mark

[01:36:56]

cerasus:

mm... yes 1000MHz not good for ATSC

[01:37:04]

wagnerrp:

if you are running the stock amd heatsink, and you still think it is too loud

[01:37:15]

wagnerrp:

try going into the BIOS, and stepping the speed back

[01:37:16]

RyeBrye:

don't set explicity clock speeds in the bios – use the ondemand frequency governor like he said

[01:37:30]

wagnerrp:

most motherboard usually have the ability to use PWM to control connected fans

[01:37:44]

wagnerrp:

if not, you can always just do a quick mod to drop it to 7V

[01:38:03]

RyeBrye:

drop the fan to 7v?

[01:38:08]

wagnerrp:

takes nothing more than a molex/fan adapter, and some splicing

[01:38:28]

wagnerrp:

RyeBrye: instead of running the fan between the 12V and ground lines

[01:38:32]

cerasus:

mm.. I'll get a new bigger heatsink with a huge fan.

[01:38:33]

wagnerrp:

you run it between the 12V and 5V lines

[01:38:41]

[01:38:48]

wagnerrp:

7V, half the speed, a quarter the power

[01:38:50]

RyeBrye:

you can get one of those fan controller things too that is basically an inline resister thing

[01:39:09]

RyeBrye:

the zalman cooler I had came with one

[01:39:48]

wagnerrp:

RyeBrye: this is basically a $0.10 and 5 minute fan contoller

[01:39:53]

RyeBrye:

true

[01:39:59]

wagnerrp:

just as easily, you can drop it to 5V

[01:40:11]

wagnerrp:

although some fans can struggle to run at that low voltage

[01:40:27]

cerasus:

any pci cards better than pinnacle i800?

[01:40:28]

wagnerrp:

proper fan controllers are not a resister, but a proper PWM controller

[01:40:43]

RyeBrye:

I think this one isn't proper

[01:40:44]

wagnerrp:

that runs at a full 12V, but a duty cycle <100%

How is deinterlacing activated in Mythbuntu Jaunty?

[01:41:51]

wagnerrp:

cerasus: a digital stream is a digital stream

[01:42:09]

cerasus:

I got PWM in my bios

[01:42:15]

wagnerrp:

so long as your received strength isnt so low as to be dropping data, the quality will be exactly the same

[01:42:16]

RyeBrye:

hondo: mythtv -> settings -> playback I think somwhere in there under playback profiles, you edit a setting for a particular resolution and then on the second page there are de-interlacing settings

[01:42:22]

cerasus:

wagnerrp: meaning?

[01:42:42]

hondo:

RyeBrye, thanks

[01:43:05]

wagnerrp:

meaning for QAM, your choice of card is irrelevant (aside from linux compatibility)

[01:43:25]

RyeBrye:

hondo: the deinterlacing options depend upon what's on the previous page. (i.e. vdpau has different deinterlacers than ffmpeg )

[01:43:45]

wagnerrp:

for ATSC, there are some other factors

[01:44:07]

cerasus:

ATSC is cable?

[01:44:15]

wagnerrp:

some tuners handle low levels signals better, others are better at filtering multipath

[01:44:22]

wagnerrp:

QAM = cable, ATSC = broadcast

[01:44:59]

wagnerrp:

supposedly the xc5000 is one of the better tuners

[01:45:52]

wagnerrp:

but for the most part, trying to find the 'best quality tuner' on the internet is going to get you nothing more than a bunch of hearsay and conjecture

[01:46:22]

wagnerrp:

everyone is going to have their favorite, and hardly anyone is going to have any idea what theyre talking about

[01:47:48]

cerasus:

good then

[01:48:09]

cerasus:

I've read ivtv are supposed to be the ...

[01:48:15]

wagnerrp:

are analog

[01:48:35]

wagnerrp:

have absolutely nothing to do with the aforementioned 800i

[01:48:47]

wagnerrp:

or digital tuning in general

[01:50:09]

cerasus:

you are right though, digital stream is a digital stream. A better card would only have extra features.

[01:50:25]

wagnerrp:

no, a better card would have a better tuner

[01:50:31]

wagnerrp:

however for QAM, that doesnt matter

[01:50:47]

wagnerrp:

and for ATSC, youre going to have a tough time figuring out what is a 'better' tuner

[01:52:11]

cerasus:

umm..

[01:52:30]

wagnerrp:

because on the internets, skippy over there who took a dremel to his new PCIe graphics card so it would fit in his AGP slot considers himself a knowledgeable user

[01:54:21]

wagnerrp:

what extra features would you put on a card anyway?

[01:54:41]

Dagmar:

Cool leds

[01:54:45]

wagnerrp:

as far as mythtv is concerned, you have a digital tuner, you have an analog mpeg tuner, and you have multiple of each on one card

[01:54:46]

cerasus:

PIP, h.246 etc

[01:54:59]

wagnerrp:

not a whole lot of room for variety

[01:55:16]

there is no tuner capable of 'picture-in-picture'

[01:55:21]

cerasus:

so should I get another pinnacle 800i?

[01:55:23]

Dagmar:

Nor would there be much point

[01:55:33]

wagnerrp:

they call those 'dual tuners', and its up to the playback device to do PIP

[01:55:42]

hondo:

RyeBrye, I'm using a really old FX5200 XvMC / Bob is my old standby

[01:55:58]

wagnerrp:

similarly, i know of no tuner capable of h.264

[01:56:16]

wagnerrp:

a digital tuner with an encoder chip would just be foolish

[01:56:32]

RyeBrye:

well, not a tuner – but there are capture cards that take analog signals and turn them into h.264

[01:56:40]

wagnerrp:

and analog tuners are typically mpeg2, with the occasional mjpeg, or maybe mpeg4asp

[01:56:50]

wagnerrp:

i know of no tuner with an h.264 encoder

[01:57:00]

wagnerrp:

the HDPVR has one, but it is not a tuner card

[01:57:26]

wagnerrp:

nearly all tuners claiming that they can record to something other than mpeg2 are framegrabbers

[01:57:27]

cerasus:

that's the one I was thinking about

[01:57:45]

wagnerrp:

and their 'encoding' capability is really just a software encoder that ships with the card

[01:57:49]

RyeBrye:

you could probably glue it onto a blank PCI card and slot it in your machine if you had enough room and you could CALL the hd-pvr a card

[01:58:21]

wagnerrp:

RyeBrye: i believe iamlindoro did such a thing

wagnerrp:

hondo:

I think I'm going to blow some people's minds this weekend... I have a group of friends coming over to watch a college football game – and we are going to project it outside. They kept asking me how I was going to connect my DVR to the projector and I explained a few times how my DVR is network enabled and my laptop can effectively become another DVR – so I'll just wirelessly connect to my network and connect my laptop to the projector

[02:19:42]

RyeBrye:

The other options they suggested were to watch the game in two halves a few hours after it started by having someone record it and physically bring a DVR with it recorded somwhere else and plug it in

[02:19:48]

MarcT:

If you have an ION then you get playback pauses in VDPAU, but they are working on it.

hondo xvmc is needed on the pre 8000 cards only to offload some of the playback. But if your CPU is powerfull enough you can go without it on HD..

Anybody who keeps up with the semi-bleeding-edge mercurial repository for v4l-dvb (linuxtv.org/hg/v4l-dvb).... Beware, digital (qam/atsc) functionality at least for s5h1409 seems dead as a doornail (hvr1800 on 2.6.31–8 on ia32).

If it stays that way, yes, I'll narrow down what changeset broke it and shoot it on the mailing list....this is more of a friendly heads-up :) (e.g. if you are scratching your head pondering "why did my qam just break?"...you aren't alone :)

[02:32:12]

MarcT:

which is why you might want to consider setting up a playback profile. one that worked for me with the 5700 and my apple tv was to use xv for everything up to 720p and anything higher used xvmc

if it's thrashing during the reschedule, you might want to experiment with jacking /proc/sys/vm/swappiness up quite a lot

clever: massively truncating your program table will usually have a fairly linear effect on scheduler speed (in my experience it did, ymmv). Only keeping a few days of epg information can make a big difference.

and some image editing software i guess

myth themes are basically XML text files, and some images the xml referrs too. So a text editor and some graphics editors like laga says :)

[08:49:06]

there is no gui based myth theme designer

[08:51:14]

but isn't used with QT4?

so which part dose mythtv rely on QT?

from what ive seen in the code, most of the core bg stuff like qstring, qthread, qtcpsocket, qimage, and some other stuff

[09:03:15]

lots of it. SQL access, string handling, lots of places

yeah, i use it on a few of my daemon programs

[09:04:35]

cerasus:

will the new mythtv take advantage of plasma and the technologies in QT?

[09:06:32]

GreyFoxx:

no

[09:07:14]

GreyFoxx:

it will have a much extended theme api and use the much more powerful mythui instead of the previous gui routines (well, not all of it, but much of it)

[09:07:26]

GreyFoxx:

but it's going to need themers to write the themes to use the new theme options

i haven't used one and really couldn't figure out what one would be used for

[10:03:04]

trying to figure out if I need to do more magic inside the myth lcdproc client to disable these calls to light up stuff not present, or if I can just let LCDd reject 'em gracefully

[10:03:20]

J-e-f-f-A:

mag0o: Status display. It's great for seeing what your backend is doing without having to look at a web page, etc.

[10:03:29]

mag0o:

ah, nice

[10:04:04]

j-rod:

mag0o: it shows date/time when nothing is going on, what J-e-f-f-A said, shows feedback for a currently playing program (name, progress, etc)

[10:04:18]

mag0o:

so it sits by your favorite frontend and you get live info on whats happening. cool

[10:04:22]

j-rod:

and with this patch I'm poking at, also lights up function-specific LED

[10:04:36]

J-e-f-f-A:

mag0o: I personally think the current implementation isn't very 'pretty' for use on a frontend system, but have done some work in that area. But nothing I've done will make it into 0.22, but I'll do my best to submit patches for 0.23... ;-)

mag0o: I picked up a couple of "80e"s when CircuitCity went out of business for $60 each – I only opened one and fiddled with Windoze with it... I'll have to put them up on fleabay to recoop my losses... Since they're still retailing for higher than i paid, maybe I'll be ok...

The only way I can see that working 'well' is to do 'Automatic Volume Leveling' – that way if a commercial is detected wrong, you won't lose your audio... (But I don't watch LiveTV anyways...;-) )

detection is possible while recording

Basically your only option for "live" is a frontend-- though scheduling a recording and then immediately playing back the recording opens up some more options

ie Schedule what you want to watch "live" in mythweb, then use a uPnP player/samba mount/whatever to watch that recording

[13:29:29]

wagnerrp:

thats the same format Recordings will look for?

[13:29:30]

though there's nothing preventing you using the old one, it just won't be found *if* you reset metadata and then reload metadata

correct

[13:31:18]

iamlindoro:

re: folder.jpg, it's largely obviated now by the recursive image hunt

[13:31:28]

iamlindoro:

but it will still override the image hunt if you put one there

[13:31:59]

iamlindoro:

ie a folder w/ no folder.jpg will display the first valid artwork of each type found on items within the folder. But folder.jpg takes precedence as an "override"

[13:32:01]

wagnerrp:

yeah, thinking of just removing that code, since it will only place the same image the recursive hunt would otherwise find

[13:33:54]

wagnerrp:

looks like screen shots are named SxE, no padding

[13:34:01]

ill have to add some code for that

if there's not enough space on a storage group for even one recording, the backend will happily fill all the available space of the filesystem.

Josh__: 8400GS on sale at micro Center for $24.99 with a $5 MIR which brings it down to $19.99 ... http://www.microcenter.com/single_product_res . . . t_id=0305869

[16:21:56]

RyeBrye:

dunno. it's kind of interesting but it will probably be more expensive than just buying two motherboards and finding a crafty way to put them in the same case when you get down to it

[16:22:51]

wagnerrp:

looks like its two systems and a built in KVM switch

[16:22:59]

PeaceKeeper:

Anyone have an opion on the Zotac 230 or 330 for a new build? If I can get away with the 230 then I think I would prefer to spend the extra $ on a remote.

[16:24:13]

Josh__:

J-e-f-f-A, I'm looking at a GTX275, so my wife can dualboot the frontend for games, but that does seem like a decent VDPAU capable interim GPU. It's well priced also.

[16:24:39]

slowone:

peacekeeper i just built a zotac 230 (b-e) + 2gig ram + mce ir receiver +2gig usb stick to boot off and run mythfrontend... works great

[16:25:06]

RyeBrye:

slowone: how much did that build run?

[16:25:25]

PeaceKeeper:

slowone: awesome, thank you.

[16:25:30]

slowone:

277 includeing a $75 case

[16:25:39]

slowone:

and shipping

[16:25:41]

slowone:

all from newegg

[16:25:44]

sphery:

PeaceKeeper: or just get a nice Core 2 or Athlon 64 system that doesn't /need/ VDPAU for the less than the cost of the 230 and have a system that's not tied to VDPAU, can use VDPAU if you want, and has room to grow in the future...

[16:25:53]

AndrewNC:

oh, that hybrid board isn't a virtualizing thing, it is just two seperate systems on one mainboard PCB, they don't share PCIe slots or memory on anything

[16:26:12]

RyeBrye:

slowone: that's pretty sweet.

[16:26:16]

sphery:

but if you don't mind a system that's annoying to use today and may not be usable as myth grows...

[16:26:18]

AndrewNC:

neat I guess, but which one do you make frontend and backend?

[16:26:58]

PeaceKeeper:

+sphery: I need a small, quite frontend. You think I can get that for cheaper than a Zotac?

[16:27:04]

sphery:

AndrewNC: yeah, they're virtualizing only the case

[16:28:54]

[16:29:18]

PeaceKeeper:

Humm ok time to research more on newegg.. :) thx for the help

[16:29:30]

AndrewNC:

it is like they took the concept of a system on a PCI card (where the pci card had no slot contacts) and made it integrated!

[16:30:16]

AndrewNC:

probably originated from a joke in a meeting

[16:30:20]

wagnerrp:

looks like they use separate hard drives

[16:30:35]

wagnerrp:

dedicated connectors

[16:31:02]

AndrewNC:

two motherboards glued together with shared io panel and power supply

[16:31:26]

RyeBrye:

Yeah, I don't see that being a huge success

[16:31:38]

It'd be like having a motorcycle bolted onto a minivan

[16:31:53]

AndrewNC:

RyeBrye: hah :P

[16:32:13]

they have a shared power button

[16:32:22]

RyeBrye:

They do? that's actually kind of dumb

[16:32:26]

AndrewNC:

a curiosity for a pc museum

[16:32:28]

wagnerrp:

the power and reset buttons are connected to whichever system is currently active

[16:32:40]

does it have some kind of integrated KVM?

yes

[16:33:07]

four USB ports, audio, and two DVI-I ports are run through a KVM

ahh, deleted the contents... Didn't think of that :)

Dagmar:

sphery: I don't even know where the link to make that happen would be, but generally nuking a page's content and waiting for Google to notice does it well enough

I'm kinda suprised the page was even up there

[18:18:14]

Dagmar:

I dunno what rationale the person commenting about whether or not it violates their ToS was using

[18:18:35]

Dagmar:

"Why here, it clearly states you're not allowed to use robots or scrapers on their site... but over here, it says something entirely unrelated"

[18:18:41]

Is that the Chewbacca defense or what?

[18:18:45]

sphery:

Mind if I respell your Deleted, too?

[18:18:55]

Dagmar:

Go right ahead. It's a Strongbad reference

[18:19:11]

Dagmar:

...in case you were wondering.

[18:19:40]

Dagmar:

It's somewhat handy slang for expressing something even people as dim as Strongbad can figure out

[18:19:42]

wasn't sure, but I figured it was some reference

Is there any documentation yet on the yet-to-be released 0.22's channel scanner? I'm curious why I'm getting three types of programs from a single ATSC tuner.

J-e-f-f-A:

RyeBrye: Well that article claims we're sharing our recordings with friends and family, etc...

[18:25:29]

RyeBrye, last page – "they're just looking for a reasonable amount of flexibility to watch the same recorded program in different rooms, or on the train to work; to lend friends a TV recording the way they used to lend videotape"

[18:27:33]

Dagmar:

I'm sure after a cuppa something will come to me that I can type in there to say "ToS and Laws are shiny. You no use MythTV to break shiny even if you no like shiny."

[18:27:36]

sphery:

Dagmar: yeah, it left out the part that made the "however in another section" different--by saying it /definitely/ violates that

[18:28:00]

Dagmar:

Such statements are currently nowhere on the site that I've noticed.

[18:28:31]

which statements?

[18:28:49]

[18:34:44]

RyeBrye:

Anyone ever heard of ACAP before? http://the-acap.org/Implement-ACAP.aspx Apparently these places listed in that PDF (of known implementers to date) are cool with robots and scraping

[18:34:51]

clever:

my toasted mythconverg paritition somehow magicaly mounted itself, and is working fine

[18:35:10]

clever:

damn lvm

[18:36:48]

RyeBrye:

what's interesting is that the hosted.stats.com sports pages are "ACAP enabled" and might faciiltate doing some sports feeds with MythTV (i.e. revive that old recording extender plugin only use that as a datasource)

[18:37:38]

sphery:

where's it say that scraping is allowed?

[18:37:48]

sphery:

wouldn't it have a tag that tells whether it's allowed on each site/page?

[18:37:59]

RyeBrye:

I'm reading more to clarify

[18:38:10]

RyeBrye:

but on the footer of all their pages they have the ACAP-Enabled logo with a link to the ACAP page

[18:38:10]

[18:38:38]

RyeBrye:

Yeah, I was mostly looking for a sports score feed

[18:39:45]

sphery:

again, where's it say that they all allow robots/scraping?

[18:40:08]

sphery:

the robots stuff sounds more like it's saying they provide a better approach for search engines than robots.txt

[18:40:19]

RyeBrye:

I think it's implied by their robots.txt then

[18:40:21]

RyeBrye:

http://hosted.stats.com/robots.txt

[18:40:23]

sphery:

versus saying that "you can download/copy/use all the data on all my pages"

[18:40:54]

sphery:

yeah, so it's site-specific

[18:41:01]

sphery:

and or page-specific

[18:41:42]

RyeBrye:

right. but for the hosted.stats.com I can't find any TOS anywhere, and I see the ACAP and their ACAP seems to imply it's cool to grab basically anything on the site... the only provision I see on that site is in the footer that says "no commercial"

[18:43:48]

RyeBrye:

but it's still not very clear and I'll keep looking for some decent free sports xml feed

[18:44:04]

AndrewNC_:

isn't it a little strange that a list of sites supportive of content access is stored in a PDF?

RyeBrye:

it'd be even better if that pdf was encrpyred

[18:44:39]

though the boring parts of PDF are standardized/open

[18:44:49]

AndrewNC_:

yeah, it is like if RMS charged for a copy of the GPL and it was in a DRM format

RyeBrye: what if it 404's?

[18:51:16]

Dagmar:

...at least until the Artificials Entities For Greater Equality gets involved in the robot discrimination suit.

[18:51:28]

RyeBrye:

That's funny :)

[18:51:44]

RyeBrye:

True. if a computer is self aware does it have to obey robots.txt?

[18:51:58]

35 years from now when the suit happens, someone will find this in a Google search and say "Holy s**t"

i just noticed whilst browsing the guide that something wasnt set to record, upcoming episodes of this title shows episodes, upcoming episodes matching this rule gives nothing, but whats odd is that it has already recorded two episodes

seventoes (seventoes!n=seventoe@c-69-136-146-17.hsd1.mi.comcast.net) has joined #mythtv-users

[19:15:23]

seventoes:

im sure this question is asked a lot, but what motherboard is recommended for mythtv?

[19:16:21]

Josh__:

seventoes, that question is entirely subjective. It really depends what type of functionality you need, and how much space you want to devote.

[19:17:26]

seventoes:

i already have a mini-atx (i think) case

[19:17:33]

Josh__:

seventoes, do you (intend?) to have a backend running seperately from your frontends? or a combination FE/BE machine?

[19:17:55]

seventoes:

i intend on using my personal pc as the backend, since i usually won't be using the pc and computer at the same tim

[19:17:57]

seventoes:

time

[19:18:18]

jduggan:

sphery: is that assuming it didnt record because of conflicts/backend was shut down? its an upcoming show which isnt set to record... i want to see what the two previous recordings rule was

[19:18:58]

Josh__:

so you're looking more for a frontend-only motherboard. Typical concerns for a frontend are: Small size, quiet operation, video decoding horsepower.

[19:19:09]

sphery:

jduggan: yeah, that's for recordings in the past

[19:19:38]

jduggan:

sphery: in manage recordings->previous recordings, if i hit i it shows the 'do not record this program' like im trying to setup a new recording

[19:19:49]

jduggan:

i want to see what rules i set for that specific recording

[19:19:52]

jduggan:

is that possible?

[19:20:03]

Josh__:

Josh__, Some people have reported good results with the ASUS P5N7A-VM, which has an onboard Geforce 9300 GPU. Personally, I havent been able to get mine working properly, and went with a Gigabyte mini-ATX instead.

[19:20:15]

sphery:

jduggan: yeah, it's showing you the rule for that one--do not record saying you no longer have one that matches

jduggan: meaning you need to create a new one

[19:21:09]

jduggan:

sphery: yea, i appreciate i need a new rule, so there's no way of finding out the exact rule that was previously set?

[19:21:30]

jduggan:

it sounds to me like i selected record one showing of this title, but it actually recorded two

[19:21:37]

jduggan:

one week after the other on teh same day/time

[19:21:39]

Josh__:

seventoes, The main points I would consider are: get something compatible with the case you intend on using, and either (a) get a board+proc capable of software decoding, or (b) get a GPU capable of VDPAU. If you can do both then that would obviously be the best solution.

[19:21:45]

jduggan:

and this upcoming is also the same day/time

[19:21:53]

jduggan:

sunday 8pm

[19:21:58]

sphery:

no, if you have none that match the old show, you've deleted the rule (or Myth did automatically for a find one)

[19:22:22]

sphery:

jduggan: is it a timeslot rule?

[19:22:23]

jduggan:

ok, i guess i need to be more careful creating rules :P

[19:22:27]

sphery:

if so, they've changed the time on you

[19:22:34]

sphery:

which is why timeslot rules are just plain wrong

[19:22:38]

sphery:

in 99.9999% of cases

[19:23:18]

jduggan:

sphery: nope, i selected record at any time on any channel, as its simulcasted on HD channel also, id like to get the HD if the tuners allow

[19:23:25]

tmkt:

so looks like its going to be a pita playing this blueray disc

[19:23:38]

seventoes:

actually now that i think about it.. the backend needs to be running the mythtv software doesnt it? i wouldn't be able to run my normal OS at the same time without a vm?

[19:23:59]

seventoes:

also does mythtv perform well as a backend in a vm? :P

[19:24:22]

Josh__:

seventoes, I'm not aware of anything released that can run natively in windows. I've got no experience running mythtv in a VM.

[19:24:42]

seventoes:

i run OSX actually on my main machine

[19:25:06]

sphery:

tmkt: your options are to use a Windows app to rip it/transcode it to a non-DRM'ed version (assuming that's legal where you live) or to play it on a real Blu-Ray player

[19:25:41]

sphery:

seventoes: MythTV is just an application. You can run the mythbackend and mythfrontend applications on any "supported" OS

[19:25:43]

tmkt:

was looking into dumpHD

[19:26:05]

sphery:

(where, IMHO, GNU/Linux is the only supported OS, but some actually run it on Mac OS X or Windows)

[19:26:19]

sphery:

tmkt: most seem to use AnyDVD + Any<something>

[19:26:44]

seventoes:

sphery: cool, so i'd be able to run the backend software on my mac, and have a seperate frontend machine running the premade mythtv distro?

[19:26:46]

[19:27:39]

sphery:

seventoes: for the backend, you're much more limited because you need to have a capture card that works using V4L (which is only Linux) or an HDHR or maybe a firewire or something on Mac OS

[19:27:53]

Josh__:

seventoes, your backend OS has to support the capture cards you plan on using as well.

[19:27:59]

seventoes:

ah i see

[19:28:07]

sphery:

seventoes: best bet is probably to just make whatever machine you plan to use for the frontend running MythBuntu into a combined frontend/backend machine

[19:28:43]

seventoes:

yeah ill probably do that then

[19:29:42]

seventoes:

ill do some looking at the specs of the hardware in the case i have to see if i need to buy anything

[19:30:56]

seventoes:

what kind of power supply you think would be needed? theres a fanless one in the case but i have no idea how much power it has.. no markings at all

splurge and get a Core2 system, you won't be let down.

mobo for around $50, proc probably $80 ish.

I'll bet that mobo (and the case for that matter) isnt even ATX form factor.

I've replaced the PSU in all of my always-on systems and saw usage drops equating to savings from between $0.50/mo to $2.00/mo per computer.

bleh so research stops till i get the case :(

[19:46:20]

My house is 20-ish years old. The insulation in the walls has fallen down. My power bill last month was around $500 USD.

[19:46:26]

[19:46:55]

or a good new low-TDP Athlon 64

do you heat with electricity?

I'm in the hottest month of the year in humid FL, running 7 computers 24/7 (for about $6/mo each) and have had the air conditioning on (since February) and my power bill last month was $155

[19:52:57]

sphery:

(actually, US is probably a tax credit--that they did 1yr after I replaced my unit)

[19:53:02]

Josh__:

sphery, that would help. The real problem though is the fact that the A/C runs non-stop during the day.

[19:53:11]

sphery:

yeah, that's not good

[19:53:15]

Josh__:

slowone, about 8c / kwh

[19:53:41]

sphery:

wow... I used to have cheap $0.08/kWh electricity, but I'm closer to $0.12/kWh now

[19:53:55]

sphery:

(that's why I started paying more attention to computer power usage :)

wow i would double my powerbill if i were in florida @.@

[19:55:12]

Josh__:

sphery, I'm actually more interested in that $8000 tax credit for new homebuyers if they close before November.

[19:55:44]

sigkill_:

hey, if one wanted to take a HD recording and make it a lower bitrate (basically want to watch it on a SD only capable machine), should one transcode using mythtranscode? or do you set custom jobs and use something like mencoder/ffmpeg? please do forgive my ignorance here

[19:56:05]

sphery:

Josh__: ah, yeah, another one I missed out on due to poor timing

[19:56:08]

Josh__:

sigkill_, I belive mtd should be capable of that.

[19:56:35]

sphery:

and then I bought my new card in Dec last year, so I couldn't get the cash for clunkers

[19:56:35]

Josh__:

slowone, I'm in Houston. The low for today was 74.

[19:57:06]

sphery:

and I don't need a DTV converter box, so I didn't get one (unlike a lot of people who saw free and government and got them even though they didn't need/don't use them)

[19:57:07]

Josh__:

sphery, hah, "cash for clunkers". That promotion was not directly aimed at helping the environment :)

[19:57:17]

sigkill_:

Josh__, excellent, am i right in thinking, though, that using mythtranscode it will actually transcode the original recording so i end up with no HD and only the transcoded variant?

[19:57:17]

sphery:

so, basically, I'm missing out on basically all the government handouts

[19:57:21]

sphery:

oh, and bailouts

[19:57:33]

sphery:

didn't get any of that action, either

[19:57:39]

Josh__:

sphery, haha. You need to get yourself a sugga momma and pop out a couple welfare kids.

[19:57:46]

sphery:

heh

[19:58:22]

Josh__:

sigkill_, i'm thinking that's correct, but founded on nothing. Mabye someone that knows more about mtd has an opinion?

[19:58:47]

sphery:

don't think I'd ever get to work on Myth if I did that... Unless I took parenting advice from Clara

[19:58:56]

[19:59:00]

Josh__:

sphery, OMG

[19:59:04]

Josh__:

bwahaha

[19:59:16]

Josh__:

the "lock your kids in the kitchen" method of parenting?

[19:59:21]

sphery:

yeah

[19:59:49]

sphery:

and lie to your SO so they take the kids to your sister's wedding and you can stay home on the computer

sphery, haha, my wife and I like to point out how our friends fit with the characters in that series.

[20:00:35]

sigkill_:

Josh__, ok, thats fine for now, ultimately, what id probably like, is to transcode into lower bitrate/quality and maybe shove in mythvideo, but also take the original filename/show details and shove it in db, is there any provision for that? my user contributed scripts one can call as a user job?

[20:00:55]

sigkill_:

s/my/maybe/

[20:01:21]

Josh__:

sigkill_, if you want to do that, it might be better/easier to use mencoder.

[20:01:27]

Josh__:

and set up a job to run.

[20:01:48]

Josh__:

sigkill_, mencoder would leave the original mpeg intact.

[20:02:15]

sigkill_:

ok, got that part, the bit where it gets put in mythvideo with the same metadata is what i'm more concerned about

[20:02:42]

Josh__:

sigkill_, ooh, I havent learned how to use metadata in mythvideo yet.

[20:03:09]

marc-us:

or you could use mencoder to replace the file and myth would point to the new smaller file?

[20:03:37]

marc-us:

retaining the metadata

[20:03:57]

sigkill_:

marc-us, the file im `replacing` is recorded from a HD source, i want to keep that for my main living room HD capable tv, i want to transcode into lower bitrate so i can also play it on a SD capable only frontend

[20:04:08]

Josh__:

marc-us, he would like two copies. The HD to play in the living room, and the SD version for his bedroom, apparently.

[20:04:10]

marc-us:

Understood

[20:04:19]

sigkill_:

Josh__, got it in one

[20:04:47]

sigkill_:

im one of those weird people that have to sleep with a tv on

[20:05:09]

sigkill_:

my bedroom mythfrontend is a fanless atom box which isnt capable of HD :P

[20:05:38]

marc-us:

hmm... When I transcode I have the files placed into folders with name of the episode in the title. Flolder has show name... but date time etc and show description lost

[20:06:14]

Josh__:

I'm at the point now where I want to switch my daily system to trunk, but I'm still skeered.

[20:08:33]

marc-us:

do you use a distribution centric myth build or did you roll your own?

[20:09:05]

Josh__:

marc-us, I ran mythbackend on gentoo, and I use ubuntu for my frontends.

[20:09:11]

Josh__:

No idea why really.

[20:09:21]

marc-us:

ah interesting

[20:09:47]

marc-us:

use ubuntu on my backend and a popcorn hour for remote viewing

[20:09:52]

sigkill_:

on .19 i rolled my own and it ran fine for years, when i switched to .21 i was lazy and used mythbuntu for the backend

[20:10:09]

marc-us:

yep me lazy too

[20:10:16]

sigkill_:

all 3 frontends are debian

[20:10:58]

Josh__:

I'm not hunting for a new distro, but I'm not a dedicated distro fanboy anymore either.

[20:10:59]

marc-us:

I have only one front end that's a linux box... the others are popcorn hour and an xbox

[20:11:05]

J-e-f-f-A:

Josh__: Neat, and much more affordable too. ;-) Of the 4 phones on the page I referenced, the top 2 are bluetooth, the bottom two are full GSM phones that you just put your SIM card into...

[20:11:30]

Josh__:

J-e-f-f-A, Still funny though, but I think the novelty would wear off quickly:)

[20:11:47]

sigkill_:

i run a debian workstation in my office, the 3rd head runs a mythfrontend, my bedroom atom box is debian, i found optimising much easier than ubuntus bloated default and i stuck with the theme i guess for the living room

[20:11:51]

** J-e-f-f-A has been using Fedora on all his Myth systems for years... ;-) (Thanks to Jarod's excellent guide in the day...) **

[20:11:54]

J-e-f-f-A, check out the wired handset on thinkgeek of the same design. There's something to be said about a corded handset like that.

[20:11:56]

marc-us:

I used to use media mvp's but dropped them because they could not play xvid

[20:12:29]

Josh__:

sigkill_, I like debian. Havent taken the plunge yet.

[20:12:45]

marc-us:

interesting that you use an atom processor

[20:12:47]

Josh__:

Mabye I'll switch to debian when I put trunk on the fileserber.

[20:12:57]

marc-us:

can the small box pull HD?

[20:13:10]

marc-us, no, hence why i have to transcode my hd recordings

[20:13:13]

[20:13:23]

marc-us:

[20:13:53]

sigkill_:

i choose to use onboard video, its in a case like a dvdplayer formfactor case, i dont want to add heat, but using vdpau capable cheap card im sure its feesible

[20:14:00]

marc-us:

I have a similar issue.. Fortunately the Popcorn hour plays the hd content fine... albiet on a analog tv

[20:14:34]

marc-us:

I transcode all the kid shows. to xvid

[20:14:43]

marc-us:

the xbox plays them just fine

[20:14:53]

sigkill_:

oh, my atom board only has pci, so i guess one would have to find a vdpau capable PCI card... im not sure they exist i havent looked

marc-us:

Nvidia has served me very well

Josh__:

If a GTX275 is still in the future, I dont want to spend a lot of money on the card. So less than $50 is a plus.

[20:20:24]

sigkill_:

i think for thin/low power and HD you either need vdpau on something like zotac ion/equivalent, or look into a board and mobile cpu that can do it without offloading

my mini atx has ati but it sucks popped in an nvida

Good Evening. I am coming looking for suggestions of tuner cards that are known to work really well with the MythTV project. I current have an ADS Tech Instant HDTV Video Device PTV-382 PCI http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16815255025 and it does not work, so I am trying to find a replacement for it, that can do the same, if not more. I use Cable-TV at home, if that makes any differnce.

[21:41:39]

jamesd_:

Loki, i use kworld 115 and i'm quite hapy with it, and was pretty smooth to install and well documented

[21:41:54]

there may be some exceptions with ultra-new stuff like DVB-S2 and all, but for "normal" digital, ...

Something very strange happend this evening when I was recording 2 shows, Monk and Eureka. My schedule says both shows were supposed to air from 9pm est to 10pm. However, both shows only recorded from 9pm to 9:45pm/

[22:50:30]

J-e-f-f-A:

MarcT: it usualy only outputs that on startup

[22:57:49]

J-e-f-f-A:

MarcT: Looks that way.

[22:58:06]

J-e-f-f-A:

MarcT: But when did it restart? Did it start a 2nd recording for the remainder of the programs?

[22:58:31]

wagnerrp:

MarcT: only if you didnt compile properly

[22:58:40]

MarcT:

if thats the case, the backend crashed and restarted itself 6 times within 1 second

[22:58:50]

MarcT:

er 1 min

[22:58:51]

J-e-f-f-A:

eek!

[22:59:28]

MarcT:

so I dont think that is the case

[22:59:53]

wagnerrp:

distros are supposed to run off subversion, or otherwise manually tell mythtv what revision it is

[23:00:08]

wagnerrp:

'[exported]' is displayed when neither of these takes place

[23:00:37]

wagnerrp:

the official ebuild has a facility to perform this, but it is currently not working

I'll need to fix the ebuild then

ok

[23:02:28]

MarcT:

but still does that indicate mythbackend restarting?

[23:03:24]

MarcT:

because it happened 3 times at 8 mins into the recording, but nothing bad happened.. and then twice again at 45 mins.

[23:03:45]

MarcT:

and at 45 mins it stopped recording.

[23:04:28]

MarcT:

never mind.. found the issue.

[23:04:38]

[23:05:00]

im going to say no

This is what happened at 45 mins after 9. http://mythtv.pastebin.ca/1571466

otherwise, my backend would have restarted 4 minutes ago

[23:05:22]

MarcT:

got device errors.

[23:05:48]

J-e-f-f-A:

Loki: you have to set it up as a DVB device, not v4l

[23:06:02]

wagnerrp:

i think thats whenever it starts up a new socket handler for a new client

[23:07:46]

Loki:

J-e-f-f-A: card type? It shows up as analog V4L Capture Card

[23:13:41]

Gumby:

is there a reason (or an option) somewhere that would cause one ivtv tuner (pvr-250) to display differently than another (pvr-150)? One displays full screen and the other is sort of letterboxed

[23:14:03]

Gumby:

150 is fullscreen, 250 is letterboxed

[23:14:40]

sphery:

you can set it to widescreen

[23:15:34]

Gumby:

hrm weird. I ran mythtv-setup to check if there were any tuner options I missed and now both tuners are displaying the same

[23:15:35]

J-e-f-f-A:

Loki: delete all cards, then add it back in as a DVB card. It's a digital tuner.

[23:22:10]

J-e-f-f-A: no go

[23:22:39]

nor does it load the card when i go to watch tv

when i go to make a new card my card shows up as a analog v4l capture card on /dev/video0 and when i go to change to a dtv card it just gives me a option for slot 0

[23:33:21]

mag0o:

change the option at top (using right/left keys) to select dvb card

[23:33:27]

J-e-f-f-A:
