Captain_Murdoch & sphery: I am using Fluxbox 1.1 and I just backed out http://svn.mythtv.org/trac/changeset/23286 and it did fix http://svn.mythtv.org/trac/ticket/7996

[00:16:29]

brfransen:

it seems that when Qt::WindowFullScreen is set Fluxbox ignores x and y base and always uses 0,0

[00:19:43]

wagnerrp:

huh... full-screened apps in windows dont remember what monitor they were full screen on when minimized

[00:19:52]

wagnerrp:

thats awkward

[00:21:05]

sphery:

brfransen: Thanks for the report. I'm not sure what Captain_Murdoch's plan is for it, now, but I think when he fixes the issue he saw, it will fix yours, too.

Captain_Murdoch, thanks it works, though it kept offering to make directories, but failed to do so... and even after i created the directory it still complained but the backend saw the directory and listed free space

[00:27:35]

wagnerrp:

did you have write permissions?

[00:28:02]

jamesd2:

yes, i changed owndership to mythtv, and when it complained still.. i made it 777

jamesd2:

now, to add even more storage.. has anyone used iscsi with mythtv?

[00:33:53]

wagnerrp:

indirectly

[00:34:03]

wagnerrp:

my SBE and FE both boot off iscsi

[00:34:11]

wagnerrp:

but record to NFS

[00:34:47]

wagnerrp:

not much point to recording to iscsi, unless youre using some dedicated NAS system for a single backend

hipitihop:

what is the correct ubuntu way to modify the db access to allow other hosts

[00:39:57]

[R]:

there is no "ubuntu" way... the just mysql way

[00:40:22]

hipitihop:

[R], so I do this ? "mysql -u root mythconverg"

[00:40:41]

hipitihop:

I have the mythbuntu variant

[00:41:00]

fleers is now known as fleers_

[00:41:00]

[R]:

thats not going to do anything but attempt to log in to the mythconverg db with the root user w/o a password

[00:41:31]

hipitihop:

ok, just trying to fllow this http://www.mythtv.org/docs/mythtv-HOWTO-6.html#ss6.2

[00:42:48]

[R]:

mythbunut sets up the db itself

[00:42:53]

[R]:

those instructions only work if you follow the mall

[00:43:06]

[R]:

and seeing as the db is already set up... you can't follow them all

[00:43:21]

hipitihop:

[R], yes it's all setup and working ... I'm trying to allow other hosts to connect

[00:45:00]

hipitihop:

[R], in short I'm trying to setup mymote on the iphone but although I can see the backend and select the frontend it complains about disconnection so I'm guessing it wants to get to the db to get keybindings

[00:45:49]

hipitihop:

so do I need to login in as root or as the normal user

[00:46:12]

[R]:

if you dont know how to use mysql

[00:46:16]

[R]:

there is tons of documentation on how to use it

[00:47:13]

hipitihop:

I know the basics, I'm just not familiar with how mytbuntu sets up the db, rights, what user etc

[00:49:00]

[R]:

well this isn't #mythbuntu

[00:49:25]

hipitihop:

oops, my bad

wagnerrp, i have a ZFS filesever, that has 1TB of disk space.. and its simple to allocate storage via iscsi, and since nfs sucked last week when i did some simple nfs shares via solaris i figured i would give iscsi a try

[01:43:46]

hipitihop:

I'm trying to run "grant all on mythconverg.* to mythtv@"%" identified by "mythtv"; but I'm getting access denied. I simply want to allow other hosts, can I just change a config file somewhere instead ?

[01:44:12]

wagnerrp:

no, you have to send that command to give access

[01:44:25]

wagnerrp:

although you cant, because you are not logged into mysql as root

[01:45:12]

hipitihop:

aah, I'm logged in as mythtv

[01:46:25]

hipitihop:

now how do I know what root password is

[01:46:45]

wagnerrp:

the root password is whatever you set it to

[01:46:52]

jamesd2:

hipitihop, perhaps there isn't one..

[01:47:18]

hipitihop:

nope, it has one and it is the same as the default mythtv user.

ive never used that, so i have no idea what that error in that program would mean

[01:50:40]

wagnerrp:

[02:06:42]

hipitihop:

probably almost OT, but it is a mythtv control app :-)

[02:12:28]

hipitihop:

anyone her eusing mymote ?

[02:13:33]

iamlindoro:

hipitihop, Asking it every nine minutes is a great way to catch a ban

[02:16:10]

wagnerrp:

hipitihop: mymote is not an official tool, nor is it something many people in here are likely to use

[02:16:19]

wagnerrp:

youll probably have better luck on the mailing list

[02:17:09]

hipitihop:

thanks, sorry for the noise, I did not intend to offend/abuse the channel.

[02:17:22]

wagnerrp:

its just common sense

[02:17:26]

wagnerrp:

no one joined the channel

[02:17:43]

wagnerrp:

and there hasnt been enough talk (or any) for your question to roll off anyone's scrollback

[02:17:55]

iamlindoro:

as a rule, it should be a matter of hours, not minutes, before you repeat yourself

[02:18:17]

wagnerrp:

theres no point asking a second time, if youre just going to be asking the same people

[02:18:33]

wagnerrp:

youre not being ignored, theres just no one here who knows anything about that program

[02:20:14]

hipitihop:

makes sense, I did not see anyone join but then I do remember earlier someone else mentioned here that's how I got on to it.. but yes I try an be less eager for answers. Appreciate your help

besides... Colombian coffee is way overrated :)

Costa Rican is much better :)

[02:43:54]

i saw a thing on tv once about the guys in columbia who make drugs

Hi all

[03:25:32]

artus36:

anybody using vdpau here?

[03:26:24]

wagnerrp:

yes

[03:27:29]

artus36:

which graphics card do you use wagnerrp

[03:27:32]

artus36:

?

[03:27:51]

wagnerrp:

onboard 8200, 8400 pcie, 8400pci

[03:28:03]

[R]:

i have a 9400m

[03:28:11]

artus36:

I would like to buy a new card

[03:28:23]

artus36:

which one would you recommend?

[03:28:40]

[R]:

do you obsessively care about having the "best" deinterlacer?

[03:29:08]

wagnerrp:

210 or 220, depending on your answer to [R]'s question

[03:32:15]

artus36:

[R] the best is not needed but a combination that works and makes HD for me possible

[03:32:54]

[R]:

then any vdpau supported card is fine

[03:33:02]

artus36:

9500GT?

[03:33:05]

artus36:

or 9800GT?

[03:33:08]

artus36:

which is better?

[03:33:35]

wagnerrp:

9500 is sufficient

[03:33:38]

[R]:

well they are both feature set A

[03:33:38]

artus36:

ok

[03:33:39]

wagnerrp:

9800 is overkill

[03:33:43]

[R]:

so there is no "better"

[03:33:50]

wagnerrp:

arent they B?

[03:33:50]

artus36:

9500 is cheaper

[03:33:58]

[R]:

wikipedia says A

[03:33:58]

wagnerrp:

no, youre right, theyre A

[03:34:12]

wagnerrp:

only the embedded stuff, and the later 8400s were B

[03:34:51]

artus36:

then I will go for 9500

[03:34:55]

artus36:

merci :)

[03:35:06]

artus36:

passive cooling

[03:35:17]

artus36:

is 512 or 1024 better?

[03:35:36]

wagnerrp:

512 is enough

[03:35:54]

artus36:

ok

[03:36:06]

[R]:

[03:36:12]

hachi:

can channels.conf be used to input data sufficient that mythtv can then ask schedules direct what xmltv id to associate with a channel?

[03:52:40]

hachi:

without hard coding it

[03:52:57]

hachi:

like... can I put the channel number in a field somehow, and then have it get detected that far?

[03:53:42]

hachi:

channels.conf seems to want to be a call sign in the leftmost field, but mythtv doesn't use that to correlate with schedules direct as far as I can see, even though schedules direct has that table

[03:54:46]

wagnerrp:

MFD will attempt to match what shows it can, but if they do not match exactly, you will have to fill in the XMLTV IDs manually

[03:55:05]

hachi:

what does it match on though

[03:55:10]

hachi:

callsign or channel number?

[03:55:16]

wagnerrp:

callsign i believe

[03:56:03]

wagnerrp:

why arent you using the internal scanner?

[03:56:03]

hachi:

when I import channels.conf into mythtv the callsign field is still that "Channel 128#0" sort of string

[03:56:14]

hachi:

because the internal scanner is even harder to use

[03:56:24]

wagnerrp:

correct, because youre scanning digital cable

[03:56:31]

hachi:

I'm finding that 50% of the channels it detects are untunable

[03:56:40]

hachi:

and mythfrontned exits to the menu when I try to read them

[03:56:43]

wagnerrp:

which is not likely to broadcast in-band callsigns

[03:56:53]

hachi:

so then I have to go into the editor, disable one channel

[03:56:54]

hachi:

save

[03:57:05]

wagnerrp:

the 'untunable' channels are those that exist in the program table, but do not have any data

[03:57:08]

hachi:

restart the whole bloody system

[03:57:12]

wagnerrp:

generally a bunch of on demand stuff

[03:57:20]

hachi:

start up a frontend, and try to tune again

[03:57:37]

hachi:

to be honest, it takes me about 5 minutes per channel with that method

[03:57:42]

wagnerrp:

there is some form of channel editor in livetv

[03:57:48]

hachi:

or I can use mplayer to tune the channels using channels.conf

[03:57:49]

wagnerrp:

but its not of much use if you cant get into livetv

[03:57:59]

hachi:

nor can I delete channels from it

[03:58:02]

wagnerrp:

most people end up using the channel editor in mythweb

[03:58:22]

hachi:

does that one apply changes without me needing to restart my entire cluster?

[03:58:40]

wagnerrp:

depends on the changes youre making

[03:58:55]

hachi:

the ability to tune to that program

[03:58:55]

wagnerrp:

its better to mark the channels invisible, rather than delete them

[03:59:02]

hachi:

yes

[03:59:04]

wagnerrp:

because then they will just get added back on the next scan

[03:59:17]

wagnerrp:

and yes, marking them invisible takes effect immediately

[03:59:24]

hachi:

ok

[03:59:35]

hachi:

what about callsign changes and number changes and that jazz?

[03:59:45]

wagnerrp:

same thing

[03:59:54]

hachi:

what doesn't apply immediately?

[04:00:14]

wagnerrp:

dont know off hand

[04:00:22]

hachi:

k

[04:00:26]

wagnerrp:

i assume the tuning values, and the actual list of channels

[06:53:48]

barkingbee:

[06:55:12]

barkingbee:

it play fine in ubuntu using vlc

[06:55:21]

barkingbee:

but not in mythtv

[06:56:07]

hipitihop:

hmm sorry, I don't play that many video's, can you see anything in the logs ?

[06:56:44]

barkingbee:

where can i retrive the logs?

[06:57:07]

hipitihop:

logs are /var/log/mythtv/

[06:57:36]

hipitihop:

there are various logs for the different parts of mythtc e,g, backend, forntend etc

[06:58:18]

barkingbee:

no backend

[06:58:36]

barkingbee:

just frontend

[07:01:05]

hipitihop:

well if you open the fronend log and look from the bottom backwards, you should see somewhere where it tried to open your video file and if it encuntered errors then they should be listed

[07:01:39]

hipitihop:

that's about all I can help with, as I said I'm not very familair with the video playing side of things

[07:02:34]

barkingbee:

open ubuntu terminal typed /var/log/mythtv

[07:02:43]

barkingbee:

give me nothing

[07:03:07]

barkingbee:

ah well. i guess i have to wait until he back next week

and it was the right database server/host?

dashcloud:

well, the backup is from my old backend, and I restored it onto my new backend- I'm going to change the hostname now that I can

[13:07:00]

I meant the mysql command was sending the DROP to the right host...

but it likely was

as far as I know

keith4_: bad choice of playback profile group? I suggest switching to the default configuration of Slim and seeing if that works.

[13:09:20]

sphery:

dashcloud: If other files or directories remain in the database directory after MySQL removes those just listed, the database directory cannot be removed. In this case, you must remove any remaining files or directories manually and issue the DROP DATABASE statement again.

[13:09:42]

sphery:

perhaps there was something else in there (maybe even just temporary)

[13:10:04]

dashcloud:

sphery: it was a brand new install onto the machine- I can't imagine what else could've been there

[13:10:45]

might have been some file put there by the distro or whatever

trav-lap: something about your channels is broken

[14:12:23]

sphery:

could be fixed by a rescan (though if it's a new box, you'd likely get the same results re-scanning--unless you made a mistake the first time and correct it the 2nd)

[14:12:33]

sphery:

or it may just be something broken in your stream

[14:12:56]

or it could be that you're in an area where Myth doesn't properly handle the stream

I am in the US trying to use broadcast ATSC

[14:16:19]

sphery:

well, US ATSC is working, so something about your channels is broken

[14:16:31]

sphery:

how did you get your channels into Myth? You used the mythtv-setup channel scanner, right?

[14:16:39]

sphery:

if you did a channels.conf import, that's your problem

I'd recommend doing http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/mythtv/users/264034#264034

as soon as i finish writing the code for it

i really dont see the point in netbooting, i would rather have it boot from its own hd, i dont like the idea of having the os boot over the network

it draws like 100 watts or something absurd like that when its on

[15:35:57]

why have it idling and leeching power

if the server hard disk goes down, then everything goes with it

[15:37:52]

well you lose all your recordings also

[15:37:59]

[R]:

so what good does a frontend w/o a backend and w/o recodingds do

[15:38:05]

clever:

my recordings are spread over 3 drives in 2 servers

[15:38:09]

dustybin:

plus it will create more disk activity on the server disk if you netboot

[15:38:20]

clever:

wait no, 4 drives over 3 servers

[15:38:21]

dustybin:

unless you use another hd, but then thats pointless

[15:38:40]

clever:

i'm playing with the idea of booting thru RAM

[15:38:43]

dustybin:

its like running 2x OS on the same disk

[15:38:46]

dustybin:

eeek

[15:38:49]

[R]:

dustybin: no?

[15:39:00]

[R]:

dustybin: its not like a dedicated frontend is gonna be reading from the disk constantly

[15:39:09]

dustybin:

aye ok

[15:39:11]

[R]:

it loads mythfrontend and the libs into memory

[15:39:12]

and thats about it

[15:39:15]

clever:

dustybin: ive hacked together network booting that doesnt rely on NFS

[15:39:16]

ok

[15:39:28]

Hi, I am trying to use Jamu (which I used successfully before) on my svn setup. It now is giving me " Error: Jamu must be run on a MythTV backend. Local host (localhost) is not a MythTV backend."

[15:39:31]

clever:

it stores the entire OS to ram

[15:39:37]

However, localhost is my backend....

[15:39:51]

dustybin:

[R]: that sounds messy

[15:40:26]

dustybin: which part of my awesome setup is messy?

[15:41:01]

dustybin:

[R]: logging to /tmp

[15:41:01]

RDV_Linux:

smithna: I suspect that localhost is not the name in the MythTV db for your BE so it is not matching the Jamu check.

[15:41:17]

[R]:

dustybin: messy?

[15:41:28]

dustybin:

i dunno, it sounds hackish

[15:41:55]

Ok, cool — Thanks

[15:42:13]

[R]:

dustybin: regardless... netboot is rockin awesome

[15:42:42]

dustybin:

in what way? to save 5 watts of power?

[15:43:50]

[R]:

no

[15:43:57]

[R]:

its so i dont need to waste a hard drive in my frontend

[15:44:01]

[R]:

which will go mostly unused

[15:44:04]

dustybin:

netbooting is a bit like building a computer, then putting the hard disk in another room for no reason :D

[15:44:23]

[R]:

my root fs is 6.5gb

[15:44:31]

dustybin:

[R]: but it will still require a hard drive, it just uses your servers hard drive instead

[15:44:32]

clever:

dustybin: with my netboot plan i'm playing with, it copies that disk to RAM, and then runs purely stand alone

[15:44:33]

[R]:

what point is wasting the rest of the hard drive space?

[15:44:46]

[R]:

dustybin: but i have my frontend root in my backend's root partition

[15:44:51]

[R]:

so i'm not wasting anything

[15:45:04]

dustybin:

aye ok

[15:45:53]

dustybin:

its a strange feeling ssh'ing into your frontend, but the hard drive is in another box :D

[15:46:08]

dustybin:

am i in the hard drive or the box :D

[15:46:16]

clever:

i often edit the files at the server end, simpler:P

[15:46:17]

[R]:

right...

[15:46:30]

[R]:

i actually use a read-only image as the mount for my frontend

[15:46:36]

RDV_Linux:

smithna: Try adding an entry in your "/etc/hosts" file for "localhost" e.g "127.0.0.1 localhost" and see if that fixes things.

[15:46:40]

[R]:

so i can't just edit the file son the server

[15:47:50]

RDV_Linux:

smithna: The ip address must match the setting "BackendServerIP"

[15:48:01]

smithna:

Ok, will do

[15:48:08]

dustybin:

[R]: if you have more than 1 frontend, can it use the same image?

[15:48:20]

[R]:

dustybin: yes, it sets up a copy-on-write overlay

but i only have 1 frontend

any recommendations for a ATSC capture card w/ good support and preferably a hardware MPEG2 decoder?

[17:43:03]

rabies:

though not required i guess

[17:45:18]

sphery:

rabies: http://linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/Main_Page

[17:45:25]

[R]:

atsc capture cards dont have decoders

[17:45:28]

[R]:

the computer does the decoder

[17:45:34]

rabies:

okay

[17:45:54]

rabies:

sphery: recommended as in stable and has good channel detection?

[17:45:54]

sphery:

rabies: you do realize that Hardware MPEG-2 encoders are only for analog capture, though, right (i.e. if you want to do standard-def analog capture from a VCR or STB or whatever).

[17:45:55]

wagnerrp:

mythtv does not support ATSC cards, it supports the DVB API... see sphery's link for cards with DVB compliant drivers

[17:46:21]

[R]:

sphery: he siad decoder

[17:46:22]

rabies:

wait, so if im using an antenna to pick up ATSC channels i cant use mythtv?

[17:46:26]

wagnerrp:

if you actually mean hardware decoding for playback, VDPAU is your only worthwhile option

[17:46:41]

wagnerrp:

rabies: youre not listening to what i said

[17:46:45]

wagnerrp:

we dont support tuner cards

[17:46:47]

sphery:

rabies: if you want analog standard def and ATSC (digital, already-MPEG-2-encoded-by-the-broadcaster), the Hauppauge HVR-1600 is a pretty good one

[17:46:50]

wagnerrp:

we support the DVB API

[17:46:56]

sphery:

if you meant decoder, then VDPAU is the way to go

[17:47:04]

sphery:

(or CPU decoding)

[17:47:06]

wagnerrp:

sphery's link lists off cards with drivers compliant with that API

[17:47:14]

sphery:

remember that hardware is just software that cannot be changed...

[17:47:15]

wagnerrp:

if you use a card supported on that site, mythtv can use it

[17:47:21]

rabies:

"compliant" can be many things

[17:47:30]

rabies:

some cards are more compliant than others

[17:47:44]

sphery:

http://linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/ATSC_Devices lists just how compliant they are

[17:47:45]

wagnerrp:

its got nothing to do with the card

[17:47:48]

wagnerrp:

its the driver

[17:48:01]

Defense|Twin (Defense|Twin!~jepz@e177227170.adsl.alicedsl.de) has joined #mythtv-users

[17:48:03]

sphery:

basically, the cards themselves are a dime a dozen... So you just need one that has driver support

[17:48:25]

sphery:

as the ATSC capture just dumps the already-encoded MPEG-2 from the stream, there's not a lot of difference in them

[17:48:25]

rabies:

so if theres a green check, it is 100% complaint?

[17:48:25]

wagnerrp:

if the V4L-DVB project provides support for that card, mythtv can use it

[17:48:50]

sphery:

so if it works in GNU/Linux with DVB API, Myth will do just fine with it

[17:49:19]

wagnerrp:

if you want ATSC (digital broadcast), you need one with a green check for 8VSB

[17:49:23]

sphery:

wagnerrp: I think you win, again... much faster than I at saying the same thing.

[17:49:42]

sphery:

If you want cable, it's QAM

[17:49:44]

rabies:

cool, thanks guys

[17:49:53]

rabies:

guess ill just go w/ whatever is cheapest

[17:49:57]

wagnerrp:

if you want analog, youre better off getting an IVTV card

[17:50:03]

sphery:

and--save the HVR-1600--don't use any of them for NTSC

[17:50:23]

sphery:

(or, more likely, baseband input of NTSC-like signals)

[17:50:31]

rabies:

i dont think any of the channels are NTSC in my area...

[17:50:33]

sphery:

S-Video/Composite input

[17:50:44]

sphery:

right, that's why I modified it to be the baseband stuff

[17:51:12]

rabies:

is any broadcast NTSC anymore?

[17:51:35]

wagnerrp:

the only remaining use for analog is cable (like to be phased out within a couple years) or capture from a STB

[17:51:38]

sphery:

not in the US (at least other than extremely low-powered transmitters)

[17:52:05]

sphery:

so, yeah, cable and S-Video/Composite output from external tuners is all

[17:52:16]

sphery:

but some use the output of HDTV converter boxes

[17:52:20]

sphery:

or cable boxes

[17:52:46]

rabies:

i guess ill just get a WinTV-HVR-1250

[17:52:54]

wagnerrp:

works great for me

[17:53:13]

rabies:

cool

[17:53:22]

RDV_Linux: and if that does fix it (and it works with or without slow deletes after that--probably have to restart mythbackend to pick up a change to slow deletes), I can put it in.

AndyCap:

wagnerrp: so what kind of data is on hd-dvd?

RDV_Linux: and if it is just that--a bug only on slow deletes--thanks for tracking down a /very/ hard to find issue :)

[19:27:57]

wagnerrp:

mpeg2/vc1/h264 in an EVO container

[19:28:04]

RDV_Linux:

sphery: Ok will do a test and see if it works. First I need to assure that I am using the slow deletes setting.

[19:28:05]

sphery:

if we got a bug report without all the info you provided, I doubt we'd ever have found the bug

[19:28:40]

sphery:

RDV_Linux: it's "Delete files slowly" in mythtv-setup General settings (TruncateDeletesSlowly)

[19:30:02]

sphery:

RDV_Linux: hold on a second... that patch is missing a line

[19:30:04]

RDV_Linux:

sphery: np, I had a lot of issues getting MiroBridge to be resilient enough not to leave images/symlinks and records scattered around. Especially as I cannot control what a user does through the Muro GUI

[19:30:32]

RDV_Linux:

sphery: holding

[19:30:58]

sphery:

RDV_Linux: ok, refresh...

[19:31:22]

sphery:

I really have to find a way to hook up quilt refresh to send out a vim-remote request to save files :)

[19:32:03]

sphery:

refreshing a patch when you have unsaved changes in the file doesn't help

[19:33:51]

RDV_Linux:

sphery: If "TruncateDeletesSlowly" is zero that means it is off right? If that is so then I am not using delete slowly.

hey guys, any one know if there are some problems using nvidia binaries with fedora 12

but i install it from binary. try agin.. it works

the i reboot.. and it doesnt work again

sphery:

RDV_Linux: so, it's going to require a much bigger fix than I hoped

[19:59:45]

RDV_Linux:

sphery: aah. I assume that still means it is a bug?

[20:00:07]

sphery:

perhaps "unsupported feature" at this point?

[20:00:30]

sphery:

it looks like it will fail the same way for slow deletes or fast, based on the fact that it's failing early

[20:00:57]

RDV_Linux:

sphery: If it is too difficult to fix for the release I already have my MiroBridge patch ready;)

[20:02:15]

RDV_Linux:

sphery: I thought there are some "rename/export" scripts up there using symlinks. Would they be effected by this situation?

[20:02:21]

sphery:

I think the Mirobridge patch is the way to go for the release

[20:02:29]

RDV_Linux:

sphery: np

[20:03:03]

sphery:

mythrename.pl no longer allows renaming--it only does symlinks, but they're symlinks in a totally different (not-managed-or-seen-by-Myth) directory.
