clever:

though id have to deal with people fast forwarding and pausing for popcorn

[00:00:23]

Dagmar:

Yeah but you can't do anything about if they _stop_ or fast forward it etc

[00:00:29]

clever:

exactly

[00:00:54]

clever:

but the way things are going, 'the international' was on twice tonight

[00:01:03]

clever:

i can just pick the better of the 5 copies:P

[00:01:54]

Dagmar:

For the time you're wasting you can go rent it from Redbox for a dollar

[00:02:02]

clever:

probly

[00:02:16]

Dagmar:

I'll be picking up Terminator: Salvation on the way home tonight. (Yes, I haven't seen it yet)

[00:02:30]

clever:

i think i saw that one in theater

[00:03:56]

wagnerrp:

Dagmar: and get a better copy to boot

[00:04:38]

clever:

yeah, these VOD streams are only 480i

With a firewire box is there any way to tell the most appropriate speed to use?

speed?

[00:07:27]

achew22:

Yes, it says ["100mbps", "200mbps", "400mbps", "800mbps"] as my options

[00:07:54]

kormoc:

whatever works?

[00:08:08]

You want the option that says "OMGFAST" if it appears.

[00:08:21]

achew22:

So there is no real advice on which one to use?

[00:08:23]

wagnerrp:

even 100mbps should be plenty fast for a single ~20mbps channel

[00:08:30]

Dagmar:

"Use the fastest one?"

[00:08:38]

Dagmar:

This isn't hard for most people, man.

[00:08:53]

wagnerrp:

firewire should autonegotiate what you want anyway

[00:08:59]

Dagmar:

It's like ethernet.

[00:09:14]

Dagmar:

Did you ask someone if you wanted to set your NIC to 10base-T or 100base-T?

[00:09:15]

achew22:

I don't know anything about firewire. For all I know the standard requires both ends to negotiate (out of band) for their broadcast speed

[00:09:37]

Dagmar:

How, pray tell, would they negotiate this out of band?

[00:09:51]

fingernet

[00:09:53]

achew22:

Manuals

[00:09:54]

Dagmar:

hehe

[00:09:58]

Dagmar:

Okay there's that

[00:10:07]

kormoc:

Manuals? I never thought that books could negotiate things

[00:10:16]

achew22:

No but they can state standards

[00:10:27]

kormoc:

they have, 100, 200, 400, and 800

[00:11:08]

achew22:

Okay, I am just trying to make a firewire device work and I'm trying everything.

[00:12:52]

Dagmar:

Generally if it does 800 there'll be a little 800. Either way, just set it to max and let it negotiate things itself

the instructions for setting up a user don't work

[00:34:04]

specifically, I can't set password for a user that doesn't exist

[00:34:29]

smcmurray:

did I miss the instruction for CREATE USER?

[R]:

what error are you geting?

[00:35:01]

Dagmar:

Which user?

[00:35:13]

** cesman assumes mythtv... **

[00:35:23]

Dagmar:

cesman: I'll wait for the answer

[00:35:48]

cesman:

smcmurray: at the very top of link, I see "sudo useradd mythtv"

[00:36:34]

I'm figuring he skipped the Installation steps part and by typing in allcaps was referring to some mysql command

[00:41:25]

smcmurray:

yeah. error creating user mythtv

[00:41:29]

sphery:

smcmurray: the mysql to create the user is just below (though that page is really outdated and kind of wrong)

[00:42:02]

sphery:

though the proper way is to use mc.sql to create the initial database

[00:42:18]

sphery:

mysql -u root -p < database/mc.sql

[00:42:24]

smcmurray:

I created the user, but can't connect using it

[00:42:37]

sphery:

(where mc.sql may be in your distro's share dir structure for myth)

[00:42:56]

Dagmar:

So go back to the start of the install instructions and start over

[00:43:09]

Dagmar:

Don't just lob in the packages and then skip straight to the post-install steps

[00:43:40]

sphery:

smcmurray: the MySQL authorization system is complex and has distinct permissions based on username, password, /and/ hostname

[00:43:47]

achew22:

My mythbox is tuning in a DCH3200 (Motorola and is claimed to be supported by myth in a lot of places). It says "Signal 100%" and has the L (I think that means lock) but it doesn't get AM (I don't remember what those stand for). When I change the channel the physical STB gets the signal properly over firewire and does change channels but I never get video. Does anyone have any ideas on ways to fix this?

[00:44:12]

sphery:

smcmurray: and allows multiple overlapping definitions, so it's likely you have one that's overriding the one you just set

[00:44:28]

Dagmar:

achew22: Yes. Call up your cable company and say "F**k you guys."

[00:44:31]

smcmurray:

sphery: right.

[00:44:47]

Dagmar:

Next, call your congressman and tell him you want an open cable standard YESTERDAY.

[00:44:57]

smcmurray:

sphery: I was hoping to see some accurate install docs that would walk me through it.

[00:44:57]

sphery:

achew22: http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Channel_tuning (for meanings)

[00:45:16]

Dagmar:

If you don't get video over firewire, try something like PBS first.

[00:45:22]

sphery:

smcmurray: the most up-to-date is http://www.mythtv.org/docs/mythtv-HOWTO.html , but it's hardly a walkthrough

[00:45:29]

Dagmar:

For every other channel, the reason is going to probably be "Your cable company is an a**hole"

[00:45:30]

sphery:

more of a "view from 30,000 feet"

[00:46:04]

waxhead:

smcmurray, trying connecting as root and then connect to the mythcoverg db

[00:46:27]

smcmurray:

Dagmar: I don't quite understand your statements above

[00:46:36]

achew22:

sphery: so L means a partial lock which means that I have 5c encryption on my box?

[00:46:50]

Dagmar:

smcmurray: That's because you're not the only person in here

[00:46:55]

smcmurray:

after lobbing in packages, why shouldn't I start with 'Post Install'?

[00:47:03]

smcmurray:

ah

[00:47:05]

Dagmar:

smcmurray: Because there's THINGS YOU MUST DO

[00:47:09]

sphery:

achew22: very likely

[00:47:20]

Dagmar:

Simply lobbing the packages into the system WILL NOT make it work

[00:47:29]

smcmurray:

Dagmar: ok. I'm trying to learn it.

[00:47:34]

Dagmar:

So, read _all_ the installation instructions and follow them

[00:47:44]

achew22:

sphery: I was under the impression FCC regulated that OTA channels had to be clear. Is that wrong?

[00:47:49]

sphery:

achew22: basically, the channel is tuned and we're getting data, but we don't understand any of it (likely because it's encrypted)

[00:47:55]

Dagmar:

achew22: That is the case yes

[00:47:56]

sphery:

not over firewire

[00:47:59]

pat_ (pat_!n=pat@203.171.82.242.static.rev.aanet.com.au) has quit (Read error: 110 (Connection timed out))

[00:48:10]

smcmurray:

Dagmar: the instructions previous to 'Post Install' deal with downloading the source and compiling

[00:48:10]

Dagmar:

This is why you can generally expect to get PBS over firewire, but little else

[00:48:17]

smcmurray:

Dagmar: I skimmed that

[00:48:44]

achew22:

Interesting you would say that because I tuned PBS in (on purpose) and that wast he channel that it didn't load on. Is Point to point or broadcast better?

[00:48:46]

Dagmar:

smcmurray: Then the thing you are reading is not the installation instructiongs. Go back to mythtv.org and look for something that _is_ installation instructions

[00:48:49]

smcmurray:

Dagmar: is there something specific I missed that would allow me to connect to mysql?

[00:49:26]

Dagmar:

smcmurray: I'm sorry, I'm not about to get in the business of hand-holding installations for peopel when I know for a fact that the documentation does tell people what steps to follow

[00:49:28]

smcmurray:

Dagmar: something before the 'create database' part in the 'Post Install' instructions?

[00:50:09]

sphery:

smcmurray: the MythTV answer is http://www.mythtv.org/docs/mythtv-HOWTO-6.html , but it's extremely undetails... the details are at http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/index.html

[00:50:15]

sphery:

(which you don't want to read)

[00:50:26]

sphery:

smcmurray: any reason you're not using a MythTV distribution and/or MythTV packages?

[00:50:40]

smcmurray:

Dagmar: it's perfectly understandable that you might lose patience with clueless people like myself

[00:50:46]

sphery:

MythBuntu does all that stuff for you, for example

[00:50:51]

smcmurray:

Dagmar: but please try to be civil

[00:50:56]

Dagmar:

No.

[00:51:28]

Dagmar:

There wasn't anything uncivil about what I said, and I will never tolerate that kind of argument being levvied at me either.

[00:51:50]

Dagmar:

I am *not* hand-holding for people who won't read directions.

[00:51:51]

Dagmar:

There is no point.

[00:51:53]

smcmurray:

sphery: thx. I'll start reading

[00:52:23]

mzb:

are any of the "normal" keys available when using mythavtest?

[00:52:34]

mzb:

I've not found any of them to work (so far)

[00:54:23]

Dagmar:

Probably the ones for "stop"

[00:54:28]

sphery:

note that mythavtest isn't an application meant for general use

[00:54:32]

mzb:

heh

[00:54:40]

mzb:

yep, I recall being told that

[00:54:42]

sphery:

it's for doing testing of the audio/video subsystem in Myth

[00:55:06]

mzb:

however, I'm trying to find a *nice* way playing my random music videos *and* have OSD

[00:55:07]

Dagmar:

It's _just_ meant to test the player. I didn't even knwo about it until you mentioned it, I thought "wtf" and Googled it up. http://www.cuymedia.com/mythtv-trunk/group__testing.html

[00:55:37]

mzb:

it's been previously suggested that I should give it a go to find out

[00:55:47]

sphery:

I'd say give MythVideo a go

[00:56:04]

mzb:

that won't do a playlist though, right?

[00:56:20]

sphery:

only through the "File to always play next"

[00:56:30]

mzb:

no thanks

[00:56:35]

mzb:

not suitable

[00:56:52]

mzb:

>1600 videos atm

[00:57:05]

sphery:

unless the video is either a MythVideo or MythTV video, you won't get OSD with mythavtest (and maybe not even then)

[00:57:12]

Dagmar:

Dude that's enough that it would be worth looking into writing something to do it

[00:57:26]

mzb:

am looking at it now (osd) ... it works over mythavtest

[00:57:28]

Dagmar:

That's a LOT of videos

[00:57:33]

mzb:

:)

[00:57:41]

mzb:

recorded, not downloaded, btw

[00:57:50]

kormoc:

I just shelled to mplayer with a random playlist and set it up to support lirc as well

[00:57:58]

mzb:

me2

[00:58:10]

mzb:

but no OSD is a little sad

[00:58:37]

kormoc:

I don't miss it personally

[00:58:56]

smcmurray:

sphery: hm. that worked peachy

[00:58:59]

smcmurray:

thx

[00:59:00]

mzb:

also means I *have* to use keychain remotes rather than the main remotes to avoid (certain people) selecting menu items while music playing

[00:59:19]

** kormoc blinks **

[00:59:41]

mzb:

maybe that's a focus issue I should address ;)

[00:59:46]

sphery:

smcmurray: great...

[00:59:53]

mzb:

err ... no hang on

[01:00:08]

sphery:

smcmurray: we should really update that page you found (to point to the proper procedure)

[01:00:09]

mzb:

it's because of the wiiremote talking through the telnet socket

[01:00:31]

mzb:

doesn't matter which is in focuse ... wiiremote will always control menu/etc

[01:00:34]

kormoc:

ahh

[01:00:42]

mzb:

s/focus

[01:00:54]

waxhead:

in video sources I can't get the channels in mythtv

[01:01:11]

sphery:

mzb: you just need to have Myth start your mplayer playlist through an EXEC action

[01:01:23]

mzb:

I have s/mplayer/mythavtest (and done a cat/while read/ instead of a playlist) and it works

[01:01:29]

waxhead:

I've run the xmltv grabber for au, but when it finishes there aren't any channels mapped to the guide data

[01:01:31]

sphery:

waxhead: where are you in the world?

[01:02:01]

[01:02:02]

waxhead:

sphery, digital

[01:02:15]

waxhead:

sphery, both maybe...

[01:02:32]

achew22:

sphery: are there any definitive tests to see if it is 5c encryption or something else

[01:02:45]

sphery:

mzb: MythTV menu EXEC

[01:02:50]

waxhead:

I'm running shepherd to get the guide data.. it has a -configure-mythtv option, but that didn't work either

[01:02:52]

sphery:

mzb: in the frontend menus

[01:02:56]

waxhead:

I've lost my channels...

[01:03:23]

mzb:

sphery, you've lost me (might be the heat;)

[01:03:27]

sphery:

waxhead: mythfilldatabase will never add channels for digital sources because the listings don't contain enough information to tune them

[01:03:35]

sphery:

waxhead: for digital, you /have/ to scan for channels

[01:03:35]

mzb:

(and a lack of beer;)

[01:03:55]

sphery:

waxhead: for analog, it's best to use the grabber to get channel info, but that may not work with all listings providers

[01:04:32]

mzb:

waxhead, http://svn.whuffy.com/wiki/Installation ... best join the mailing list

[01:05:40]

mzb:

thank you

[01:05:51]

waxhead:

sphery, ok.. when scanning it doesn't find any channels

[01:06:28]

sphery:

waxhead: make sure you can get the capture card working outside of Myth first

[01:06:36]

sphery:

test it with, i.e. dvb tools, etc.

[01:07:47]

sphery:

oh, and I don't know anything about Australian TV or Sheperd (save that your networks don't really follow the schedules), so if you can find someone else from the area, you'll likely get much better info

[01:08:21]

waxhead:

sphery, if I restore the db I have all the channels etc fine

[01:08:24]

waxhead:

this is a working system

[01:08:40]

waxhead:

the problem I'm trying overcome is the recordings aren't working

[01:08:47]

sphery:

waxhead: also, might want to see http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Australian_TV_Listings

[01:08:56]

sphery:

waxhead: why wouldn't you restore the db?

[01:09:02]

waxhead:

when I say that, it says it's recording but you can't get the file

[01:09:07]

waxhead:

and htere's no file created

[01:09:31]

waxhead:

this has been a labour the last two days.. I'm at my wits end.. so I'm going a totally clean install from scratch

[01:09:54]

waxhead:

no point having a pvr that isn't recording anything

[01:09:57]

sphery:

sounds like you need a rescan

[01:10:03]

sphery:

I'd recommend restoring your DB

[01:10:06]

sphery:

then doing a full rescan

[01:10:27]

waxhead:

rescan of what?

[01:10:30]

waxhead:

channels?

[01:10:39]

sphery:

if you have to, Delete all video sources (which will clear /all/ channel-related info, but without clearing all your settings and your old recordings and ...)

[01:10:45]

sphery:

yeah, rescan channels

[01:10:49]

waxhead:

why?

[01:10:56]

waxhead:

TV works fine

[01:10:58]

sphery:

more info on the delete all: http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/mythtv/users/264034#264034

[01:11:18]

sphery:

including the statement, "Your input connections configuration is broken. And, yes, you can still record LiveTV this way... "

[01:11:28]

sphery:

meaning that just because LiveTV works, that doesn't mean you have it configured properly

[01:11:38]

waxhead:

oh..

[01:11:42]

waxhead:

ok I'll try that...

[01:11:49]

waxhead:

honestly it's been a slog

[01:11:49]

sphery:

and it sounds like in your backed-up DB, you have everything except a proper input connections configuration

[01:12:16]

sphery:

a very common symptom of that breakage is "LiveTV works, recordings don't."

[01:12:21]

waxhead:

sphery, possible.. because this is an upgrade from 0.21 to 0.22 with a clean rebuild of mythbuntu

[01:12:35]

sphery:

make sure you do a full restore of the DB

[01:12:39]

sphery:

don't do a partial restore

[01:12:50]

waxhead:

ok.. I see what you mean.. this is the best lead to date

[01:12:54]

sphery:

http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Database_Backup_an . . . base_Restore

[01:13:16]

waxhead:

sphery, I'm getting really good at that now.. can nearly do it with out looking at anything

[01:13:24]

sphery:

heh, good

[01:13:42]

sphery:

I'm well practiced, too (after doing >1000 backups/restores of Myth DB's)

[01:14:06]

** sphery wasted far too much of his time working on DB character encoding breakage that didn't even affect him **

[01:14:39]

waxhead:

WAF is low here.. I've spent a lot of time in front of the TV trying to get it all to work

[01:15:01]

sphery:

It's definitely a hobby

[01:15:11]

waxhead:

it's a requirement here..

[01:15:19]

waxhead:

too many shows are recorded with it

[01:15:32]

sphery:

WAF increases significantly when you have a "test system" to upgrade/test things before rolling them out to the real system :)

[01:15:39]

waxhead:

ok.. db restored..

[01:15:50]

waxhead:

so delete all video sources huh?

[01:16:02]

sphery:

You can try doing a full scan first

[01:16:04]

sphery:

it may not work

[01:16:21]

sphery:

If you do a delete all video sources and then get a good scan, that will work

[01:16:28]

sphery:

"getting a good scan" being the challeng

[01:16:55]

sphery:

(especially as the new scanner is in a bit of a still-being-worked-on state)

[01:17:03]

Without the RFC to refer back to, you're just some bloke shaking a rubber chicken.

When I was first setting up my digital system, I learned the hard way that 2:30am is a terrible time to do a channel scan (at that time, many of the channels were off air because the digital channels got turned off at late night around here :)

[01:20:48]

mzb:

waxhead, yes, in the same boat here re WAF, but after >2yrs it's got easier ... both because the system is better _and_ her expectations are probably lower ;))

mzb:

sphery, thanks for the suggestion but not sure I'm capable of working EXEC(TV?) out atm (too hot) .. might look at it later

[01:32:27]

sphery:

basically, the idea is once mythfrontend starts a program using EXEC (or EXECTV), it starts ignoring all LIRC messages and keystrokes until the external program exits.

[01:32:41]

sphery:

so in the menu, use EXEC to call a script that starts your playlist

[01:32:41]

waxhead:

ok.. that's me done.. I can't get recordings to work at all....

[01:33:00]

waxhead:

sphery, thanks for the assist... I'll take another look at it later tonight...

[01:33:13]

waxhead:

TBH I'm pushing the limits with spending so much time on this...

[01:33:55]

sphery:

oh, and you don't want EXECTV. EXECTV is for running an external program /and/ "checking out" a TV capture card (so Myth won't use the capture card when your external program is)

[01:34:11]

mzb:

sphery, sounds like a nice idea. No idea where to put it (blue-abstract theme also confusing me). nm, I'll look at it when it's <30C ;)

[01:34:13]

sphery:

but--assuming your hardware and system software is working properly--the problem is in that area and until you get a good scan and associate the listings with the scanned channels, you won't get recordigns to work

I thought the action you performed to create a backup was "to back up"

[01:51:32]

sphery, I agree, thus my fixing the instances of that

"backup this file," etc.

sphery, what for a custom EXEC entry which "<type>" should I be using?

(or doesn't it matter)

sphery:

I don't know theme stuff, so I can't tell you, but I'd guess it just determines which picture is shown on the button or something

smcmurray:

shouldn't it list VOBs?

[02:06:13]

hipitihop:

is the network control of option on frontend intended for uPnP client based control of the frontend or is that something else ?

[02:06:28]

sphery:

smcmurray: maybe try a different theme?

[02:06:40]

(or several, as many of htem are just using default)

[02:06:49]

smcmurray:

k

[02:06:54]

[R]:

hipitihop: no, its meant for telnet control and/or mythweb control

[02:07:17]

smcmurray:

also, is there a way to switch between apps when myth takes over the screen?

[02:07:33]

[R]:

smcmurray: alt tab

[02:07:53]

smcmurray:

alt+tab doesn't seem to be effective

[02:08:13]

are you running a window manager?

yes

mzb: have you tried the new event system in place of your pre/post-roll stuff?

[02:09:28]

hipitihop:

[R], I see, the iphone uPnP client I'm trying to use sees the front-end as a renderer so I thought I could use it as a remote control

[02:09:31]

smcmurray:

[R]: and there are other workspaces

[02:09:44]

mzb:

not yet ... very keen to, but probably should wait until >new year (hosting party here)

[02:09:58]

[R]:

hipitihop: i think there is some myth iphone stuff

[02:11:35]

hipitihop:

[R], I'll google about ... I just bought PlugPlayer app but alas can't use it to play since myth is not transcoding via upnp and can't use it as remote either grrr

[02:12:20]

[R]:

hipitihop: if you transcode them after you record them... then it'll be in the correct format

[02:13:43]

smcmurray:

[R]: ok. I lied. it does work

[02:13:47]

hipitihop:

[R], happy to do so, do you have link handy to set that up as automatic transcoding job ?

[02:14:01]

[R]:

smcmurray: of course it does

[02:14:06]

[R]:

hipitihop: its in the wiki

[02:15:33]

hipitihop:

but someone else here said that the upnp on myth did not transcode so would the transcoded versions be made available over upnp ?

[02:16:01]

[R]:

if you replace the original file

[02:16:04]

[R]:

with the transcoded file

[02:16:50]

hipitihop:

eek, that would mean normal fontend would be forced to also use the transcoded files

the setting is for what player to use for a video.

Mythgallery can show these as well, provided that you have the video player setting set up to play that media type.

devinheitmueller:

elmojo: Ah, well in that case, EXCELLENT!

[12:01:24]

devinheitmueller:

The xc5000 is a good little tuner – very capable. Shame about the 5 second firmware load time, but that's really the au0828 having a crappy i2c implementation not the xc5000.

[12:02:37]

antgel:

i remember when i first installed 0.21, i was advised not to run trunk as the QT transition was in progress, and generally it was a mess. is trunk now... generally usable for users who have a clue, but who are not complete mythtv gurus?

[12:06:36]

elmojo:

devinheitmueller: it's amazine someone could implement a crappy i2c interface.... I know way more than I'd like to about it

[12:07:04]

devinheitmueller:

elmojo: Well, it can be surprisingly difficult if you have to accommodate i2c clock stretching.

[12:07:06]

elmojo:

probably the same person who implemented the DMA engine on some of the older VIA chipsets

[12:07:46]

devinheitmueller:

Most of the i2c masters didn't do clock stretching properly, which is why a number of the tuners have problems with the xc4000/xc5000.

[12:08:47]

elmojo:

ah, that makes more sense

[12:09:13]

devinheitmueller:

I only found the au0828 issues by using an logic analyzer.

[12:09:33]

devinheitmueller:

... and the "fix" I came up with was less than elegant.

[12:10:36]

elmojo:

did the windows driver also have the long load times?

[12:10:56]

sircolin (sircolin!n=sircolin@my83-216-68-241.mynow.co.uk) has joined #mythtv-users

[12:11:24]

devinheitmueller:

elmojo: yes. But it is less noticeable because the Windows driver keeps the tuner alive for 90 seconds after the application closes, whereas the Linux driver puts it to sleep immediately.

[12:12:02]

elmojo:

ah, I think I remember a discussion about not letting it go to sleep

[12:12:45]

devinheitmueller:

There is a modprobe option that can be enabled which does that, however it *never* puts the tuner to sleep – which is pretty much how it was before I did any work on the xc5000.

[12:13:11]

elmojo:

cool, I noticed it does get a bit warm

[12:13:14]

devinheitmueller:

The downside is that you're sucking 350ma on the USB bus, which is less than ideal for a laptop (but for a MythTV box people are less likely to care)

[12:13:49]

devinheitmueller:

It gets warm when in use, but I've got the power management to a pretty reasonable state now where it mostly powers down the various components when not in use.

[12:14:02]

elmojo:

nice

[12:14:42]

devinheitmueller:

The thermal profile when in use is pretty much identical compared to Windows.

[12:14:58]

devinheitmueller:

(in other words, it's not "unusually" warm)

"Don't Touch the shiny surface where dirt, oil and fingerprints can leave residue. Do not lick. The disc is not flavored."

is there any form of automated name mangling in samba for 'bad characters'?

[13:44:19]

at least it's got more meaning than "hd ready"

[13:44:29]

wagnerrp:

the only thing i see is for uppercase and length

[13:46:02]

looking through my recordings and finding 'T9EWG2~E' difficult to read

Why are you even seeing "6chars~X"?

sid3windr:

oh yeah

[13:48:35]

sid3windr:

it does that

[13:48:38]

wagnerrp:

the title has a ':' in it, or some other character windows doesnt like

[13:48:42]

sid3windr:

if I wget -m something

[13:48:55]

sid3windr:

all the index.html?q=a&foo=meh files become 6~1 over samba

[13:49:02]

sid3windr:

because of the ? I guess

[13:49:19]

wagnerrp:

this is a directory from mythrename, not the actual recorded files

[13:50:08]

wagnerrp:

i just figured samba would have something in there to automatically fix non-compliant characters

[13:50:11]

wagnerrp:

but i guess not

[13:50:55]

sid3windr:

nah it just borks

[13:50:55]

sid3windr:

;)

[13:51:20]

sid3windr:

it can't afterwards know if you want to write the file with the _ to the one on disk with :, or to a real file called that with a _

[13:51:25]

sid3windr:

or whatevers ;)

[13:51:53]

sid3windr:

time for mythrename --samba-compliant

[13:53:49]

wagnerrp:

looks like there is a '--replacement' for that

which automatically does it

recordings or videos?

Finswimmer:

wagnerrp: I used it for both. But now I want to import 0.21 recordings in 0.22

generally you just upgrade directly, and then the recordings are already there

did you back up the database?

backup/restore the database, and move the old files in place

Finswimmer:

no. But the database is still existing.

[14:57:35]

Dagmar:

If you still have the backup, you can actually restore it, put the files back, and the backend will take care of the rest on first start

[14:57:56]

The perl script does not exist any longer? or is it not the best way?

[14:58:08]

It's not really needed

[14:58:33]

the problem is that those files will be identified only by their channel and record date

[15:00:01]

so open up the backup file and only pull out recorded*, people and oldrecorded*

[15:01:05]

Finswimmer:

Ok. Sounds good. :) Thanks.

[15:01:55]

wagnerrp:

you will end up with issues with channels not matching up between the old recordings and the new database

[15:02:17]

wagnerrp:

its better that you wipe the whole database, and restore in full

[15:02:31]

then if you wish, wipe the settings table, and start setup from scratch

[15:04:49]

youre talking about the actual database directory

not a backup?

[15:41:34]

ive got a 2600+ that works, but runs at ~75–90% cpu with no deint

DjMadness_:

i've overclocked it to 1900Mhz, but not enough

[16:37:23]

wagnerrp:

thats hardly an overclock

[16:37:51]

DjMadness_:

true, but cant push anymore out of the board

[16:38:19]

wagnerrp:

board is only rated for 266MHz or something?

DjMadness_:

yep

[16:38:57]

mchou:

DjMadness_: you dont have many options

[16:39:09]

DjMadness_:

mchou: i am using the 185.18.36-r1 driver

[16:39:25]

wagnerrp:

maybe try dropping back to 173 or something

[16:39:40]

wagnerrp:

the newer driver revisions arent going to get you anything anyway

[16:39:40]

Dagmar:

What model card is it?

[16:39:44]

mchou:

DjMadness_: yeah, older drivers better for xvmc

[16:39:50]

wagnerrp:

nvidia has dropped xvmc support in the newer cards

[16:39:52]

DjMadness_:

Dagmar: 7800GS (agp)

[16:39:57]

DjMadness_:

ill give it a try

[16:40:11]

Dagmar:

Hmm... Did you ever do anything to "set it up" beyond just grabbing the package from nVidia and running it?

[16:40:22]

Dagmar:

...and did you compile your own MythTV binary

[16:40:30]

mchou:

DjMadness_: in fact, my memory is fuzzy atm, 169 may be even better than 173

[16:40:38]

Dagmar:

It's rather easy to screw up if you're trying to make it work that way.

[16:40:43]

DjMadness_:

Dagmar: i self compiled my mythtv... svn version

[16:40:49]

Dagmar:

It's sneaky. It requires you to do nothing special at all.

You actually *don't* need that file

[16:41:19]

Dagmar:

That's another "gotcha"

[16:41:41]

Dagmar:

Populating that can result in two things. Either A. you get it right and things work, or B. you get it wrong and things don't work.

[16:41:51]

Dagmar:

If you only have one version of the driver installed, NOT having that file can result in one thing.

[16:41:53]

Dagmar:

It works.

this has _nothing_ to do with configuration

[16:43:32]

(II) Loading extension XVideo-MotionCompensation, thats loading fine... same with (**) NVIDIA(0): Option "XvMCUsesTextures" "true" is set.

[16:52:37]

Dagmar:

Needs to be in xorg.conf

[16:52:45]

Dagmar:

Okay. Hmm...

[16:54:07]

mchou:

DjMadness_: I foresee a HW upgrade soon in your future

[16:54:09]

Dagmar:

Right, so if you were passing --disable-xvmc-opengl to configure like I do here to avoid an older myth bug that might or might not be fixed (I've not botehred to look yet) that's probably what's stopping that

[16:54:24]

It was making the OSD abysmal for awhile

I can recompile 6200ch.c but it also supplies a patch for firewiredevice.cpp and I don't know where that is

[18:12:48]

just manually patch 6200ch.c

darkfrog:

k_ross: I did, but it still says: Could not find Motorola DCT-6200 on the 1394 bus.

[18:14:54]

k_ross:

actually i made a change to my 6200ch that will completely ignore the vendor/model ID stuff, if you specify the GUID on the command line. i figure, if you're telling it the exact GUID of the device you want to control, there's no reason to check the model ID also

[18:15:10]

it solves the problem of having to patch 6200ch every time a new model comes out

michael__:

iamlindoro, how do i fix it?

[18:28:06]

iamlindoro:

and the last pastebin happened because you have another instance of mythbackend running already that's bound to the port

use or write a proper init script, and set it up properly for your distro

you dont have to be a programmer, you just should be an experienced linux user

your last pastebin fails because you are trying to run more than one instance of Mythbackend. The second cannot bind to the port and thus (predictably) fails to start

[18:30:10]

or you need to use one of those distros that holds your hand through myth

[18:30:19]

syamajala:

hm

[18:30:34]

iamlindoro:

on the init script issue, you are trying to run an init script without arguments (wrong) or a broken or improperly set up init script, or both

[18:31:20]

how do i fix it?

[18:31:36]

iamlindoro:

where did you get your init script?

[18:31:36]

[18:31:52]

so is it possible to hook up the sound for 2 video sources to 1 sound card?

If you would like to start it with an init script, you need to find an init script for your distro, install it properly, and then invoke it with the correct argument

[18:34:13]

michael__:

iamlindoro, you mean it *is* starting

[18:34:31]

michael__: No, I mean not only is it starting, but as a daemon.

demonizing used to just work

[18:55:23]

[R]:

michael__: run a frontend? no

[18:55:41]

michael__:

i'll only want a backend in the virtual box

[18:56:05]

[R]:

then it makes no differnece if its in vbox, or not, on suse or windows

[18:56:37]

iamlindoro:

Would only be possible if you have USB capture devices, and even then, you can't do it with the open source version of vBox

[18:56:58]

iamlindoro:

so if you have PCI capture devices, or only have the OSE of vBox, the answer is no, you cannot.

[18:57:09]

[R]:

well if he doesnt want to capture

[18:57:11]

[R]:

it would work fine

[18:57:12]

[R]:

:)

[18:57:32]

iamlindoro:

No, because a master backend without a capture device isn't a supported configuration.

[18:57:43]

[R]:

i've done it before

[18:57:57]

iamlindoro:

Having done it and it being a supported configuration are two seperate things

lol

[18:59:35]

Virtualbox cannot virtualize PCI devices.

[18:59:52]

hummmm any other hypervisor?

[19:00:41]

[R]:

i think xen works with pci devices?

[19:01:29]

michael__:

hummmm

[19:01:34]

devinheitmueller:

I'm not sure that *any* of them can virtualize a raw PCI device other than VMWare.

[19:01:47]

devinheitmueller:

... and I mean their Enterprise product, not their workstation product.

[19:02:31]

devinheitmueller:

With Xen, you can pass through a single device to a single VM supposedly.

[19:02:46]

devinheitmueller:

At least that's what this suggests: http://www.novell.com/communities/node/2880/a . . . tual-machine

[19:03:05]

devinheitmueller:

I wouldn't dare try it though. And if it doesn't work, don't you dare complain to linux-media!

[19:03:12]

iamlindoro:

or here

[19:03:13]

sphery:

[R]: the most important thing is that running a backend that has no capture cards is doing nothing useful. Using mythjobqueue instead would use 1/10th the resources of running the backend with no capture cards. http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/mythtv/users/347829#347829

[19:03:35]

[R]:

sphery: thats assuming the only point of the backend was to run jobs

[19:03:52]

sphery:

[R]: running a backend with no capture cards basically disables everything except the jobqueue--thus making the backend with no capture cards equivalent to mythjobqueue

[19:03:53]

devinheitmueller:

Also, backends have strong hardware latency requirements, so running a backend in a VM is pretty useless.

[19:04:11]

[R]:

sphery: a backend with no capture cards is useful for running a frontend whose only purpose is to use mythvideo

[19:04:24]

devinheitmueller:

.... meaning that you are likely to lose packets from the capture card while the VM is swapped out.

[19:04:57]

k_ross:

if all you want is mythvideo, then just run xbmc

[19:04:58]

sphery:

[R]: the /only/ difference is the master backend, but until running mythbackend without capture cards is a supported configuration, you shouldn't do that (some things won't work properly--such as space reporting/disk usage)

[19:05:23]

[R]:

k_ross: haha

[19:05:25]

sphery:

[R]: running mythfrontend without mythbackend is the supported configuration for running a frontend whose only purpose is to use mythvideo

[19:05:45]

[R]:

sphery: isn't that gonna constatnly complain that it cant' contact the backend?

well regardless... id on't run like that anymore

not constantly

hmm, first i heard of it. i just found the broadcom page describing it. it says linux support, as well as flash integration. i guess for now it's only available to oem's making netbooks and the like. it would be nice as an add-on PCI-e card

it's a pcmcia card

pumping 1080i60 across that is stretching the interconnect

it hardware decodes no?

iamlindoro:

yeah, but doesn't output

[21:40:13]

kormoc:

ahh

[21:40:15]

so it has to push it back to the video card

wagnerrp: i've been wondering, i have a creative 5.1 card laying around would i be able to use sound from multiple video sources with that?

[21:43:49]

k_ross:

32 bit? i did 24 bit

[21:44:02]

k_ross:

you multiplied by 60. that means 60p

whoops

[21:44:43]

well, how would that work re deinterlacing etc?

[21:44:44]

kormoc:

and aye, looks like it is 24 bit

[21:45:05]

wagnerrp:

kormoc: im expecting it doesnt do deint

[21:45:22]

iamlindoro:

It does have some basic deint

[21:45:23]

AndyCap:

or syncing up a 60i output mode? :P

[21:45:36]

iamlindoro:

though I think it's fairly rudimentary

[21:45:40]

wagnerrp:

and 1080p60 is 3Gbps, 375MB/s

[21:46:03]

wagnerrp:

(thats why SDI is rated for 3Gbps)

[21:46:28]

wagnerrp:

anyway... syamajala, does that card have multiple line inputs?

[21:46:37]

wagnerrp:

i believe it does if you have the live bay

[21:46:45]

wagnerrp:

but not if youre using the rear panel connectors

[21:46:59]

iamlindoro:

creative linux drivers have classically been pretty awful, but that might have improved semi-recently

[21:47:10]

wagnerrp:

however you could use the creative card and the onboard card to capture one stream each

[21:47:30]

wagnerrp:

iamlindoro: my 5.1 and audigy cards worked without much issue

[21:47:51]

syamajala:

guess i'll play with it

[21:47:54]

iamlindoro:

think it's the live that was worst

[21:47:55]

wagnerrp:

my only complaint was that some value gets muted by default

[21:48:01]

wagnerrp:

and you have to enable it for sound to output

[23:14:17]

kormoc:

hdpvr and whatever provider you want

[23:14:36]

so currently, you can only find a mini pci-e crystal hd card on the open market

[23:15:08]

[R]:

j-rod: what about the ... black... market.. haha

[23:15:13]

[R]:

is that the opposite of open?

[23:15:33]

** kormoc thinks [R] needs to read wikipedia more **

[23:15:34]

j-rod:

I have a pci-e x1 card in my possession.

[23:15:53]

j-rod:

and they'd like to do an expresscard version

[23:16:12]

j-rod:

but the only thing currently available in any large quantities is mini pci-e

[23:16:17]

[R]:

kormoc: which article?

[23:16:42]

[R]:

i don't understand how it works

[23:16:50]

[R]:

you feed the device the compressed video

[23:16:55]

[R]:

and it spits out the uncomopressed video back on the bus?

[23:17:10]

kormoc:

yes

[23:17:14]

AGreyCrane:

kormoc: hmm, thanks. I am a bit dated in what hardware to go with. I last used MythTV about 6 years ago

[23:17:15]

[R]:

and theres enough bandwidth for that?

[23:17:28]

kormoc:

evidently

[23:17:31]

[R]:

lol

[23:17:42]

[R]:

so does it come back to the program and then the program has to display it?

[23:17:45]

wagnerrp:

[R]: for anything sort of 1080p50/60

[23:17:53]

wagnerrp:

[R]: yes

[23:17:57]

basically like using a software decoder, just its hardware instead?

[23:18:00]

[23:18:08]

[23:18:31]

[R]:

i think its a great idea

[23:18:33]

wagnerrp:

mythtv would basically pull it out of one bus, and dump it into another

[23:18:47]

wagnerrp:

possibly do some deint on it

[23:18:55]

[R]:

is it "better" then vdpau?

[23:19:02]

iamlindoro:

No

[23:19:25]

j-rod:

the crystal hd hardware can do deinterlacing, yes

[23:19:53]

j-rod:

dma bitstream in, chip decodes and post-processes it, then you dma raw frames of video out

so my usb ir reciever shows up as an input device... and then i block X from using it as a keyboard and i use lirc to get the keypresses... am i weird?

[23:23:17]

j-rod:

nope, pretty common

[23:23:30]

j-rod:

lirc is more work to set up, but more flexible

[23:23:31]
