[00:26:17] mzb: iirc, the 4:3 themes are pretty much being phased out. Are any of the nice(r) themes still available? (other than mythcenter)
[00:26:43] wagnerrp: theyre not being phased out
[00:26:50] mzb: ah good
[00:26:57] wagnerrp: all the old themes were scrapped, and no one has bothered to make any new 4:3 ones
[00:27:05] mzb: ok
[00:27:24] mzb: I'm having a few issues with fonts/overlap trying blue-abstract-wide on 1024/768
[00:27:41] mzb: tv for the workshop/garage so I guess it doesn't matter that much ;)
[00:28:05] [R]: 1024x768 isn't widescreen
[00:28:16] mzb: I realise that ... and that's my point
[00:28:29] mzb: I suspect that "tuning" the font sizes might help a little, but tbh, the machine probably will struggle with fanart anyway
[00:30:09] mzb: (a cheap copy of an EPIA M10K)
[00:30:29] mzb: (but with nVidia PCI graphics)
[00:31:43] ** mzb tries fonts at -30% **
[00:32:52] mzb: ooh ... animated icons on the recordings page ... very pretty
[00:34:03] mzb: hmm, font adjust doesn't appear to make any difference in the movie times
[00:35:09] mzb: hehe, but works fine for the setup screens! ;)

[00:41:41] mzb: (apart from being the _average_ of *something*) ;))
[00:44:14] mzb: ie: if it says "46 hours" is the box trying to tell me that on average I take 46hours to get around to watching that show after it's recorded?

[01:22:58] sphery: my average time shift is 99hrs, which--not coincidentally--is the max-recordable value
[01:23:12] sphery: (for nearly every single show I record)
[01:23:35] kormoc: same
[01:23:41] sphery: with that 99hr limit, it becomes really rather useless for a large percentage of the mythtv user population
[01:24:09] sphery: I mean, if you don't watch the show within the same work week it's broadcast, it's not helping
[01:24:44] sphery: that said, I haven't found enough value to the stat to actually consider making it work with a larger range of values :)
[01:24:49] kormoc: yeah, all my shows get a nice negative value
[01:25:28] kormoc: sphery: it's used in that one schedule value thing
[01:25:52] sphery: hmmm... only place I knew it was used was the watch list (which I don't use, either)
[01:26:03] sphery: I'll have to look at the scheduler's use of it
[01:26:36] kormoc: the auto priority thing
[01:26:41] sphery: oh, yeah, that
[01:26:46] sphery: I don't use that, either :)
[01:26:49] kormoc: which has a hard coded 'norm' of 48 hours
[01:27:02] kormoc: and all my shows are 99+, so they all get the full negative amount
[01:27:15] sphery: I forgot about the "telepathic priority"
[01:27:15] kormoc: which makes it fairly useless, but I wish it wasn't so :)

[01:29:40] kormoc: or auto-figured out based upon your history
[01:30:15] kormoc: I keep meaning to fix that with my auto-adjust based on recordings
[01:31:12] kormoc: I have a messy patch that for each currently recorded show, it's -1 priority, so it's more of a balancer with adjustments

[03:47:01] toeb: i'm writing a little tool to send keypresses via the telnet interface to the frontends. it would be nice to have an auto generated list of available frontends...
[03:47:43] justinh: I don't think mythbackend even needs that information, so it's not kept as far as I know

[03:55:21] kormoc: toeb: it's fairly rapid to just test connectivity, as if it's a tool, it's not always on the same network as the MBE or the like, check out mythweb's telnet remote
[03:56:41] justinh: yeah you could pull the list of known frontends from the settings table – just grab unique hostnames from 'settings.hostname' ;-)
[03:56:55] justinh: dunno how mythweb does it but that's one way
[03:57:16] justinh: holy poo. 3.3MB/sec write on that file :-(
[03:57:22] toeb: justinh: jep thats what i was thinking about too
[03:58:00] kormoc: we query the frontends who have the telnet interface enabled and check those
[03:58:04] justinh: maybe this HDD is poorly & that's what's pulling the speed down

[06:13:39] Guest88941: Id like to install myth 0.23 on karmic
[06:13:48] justinh1: here's one: there IS NO 0.23
[06:14:08] Guest88941: yes there is ......
[06:14:20] justinh1: no. latest released version is 0.22-fixes
[06:14:28] Guest88941: it comes with lucid

[06:14:44] Guest88941: I know its beta but it does work
[06:14:51] Guest88941: Its a trunk version
[06:14:55] justinh1: if anybody is calling the development version that they're incorrect
[06:14:58] justinh1: and should be shot
[06:15:21] Guest88941: I have used with lucid and it says in mythtv ver. 0.23
[06:15:40] justinh1: that's wrong. it should NOT say 0.23
[06:15:54] Guest88941: well it does....
[06:16:01] justinh1: but it shouldn't
[06:16:27] justinh1: so. install subversion, grab the build dependencies for trunk & build it yourself on karmic. job done

[10:55:35] Lizard123: justinh: I don't know if that's normal, but I think I can't afford that, so I thought there could be a way to reduce that size
[10:55:45] gbee: unless you've changed the default settings, you shouldn't be seeing 2GB/minute
[10:56:07] gbee: it's closer to 2GB/hr for most
[10:57:00] Lizard123: gbee: it really is, I've tried many times, and the result it's the same, sometimes it's 3GB for 3 min recording , default installation
[10:57:49] gbee: then I'd have to suggest it's a driver bug
[10:57:58] justinh: anyway problem is you're using a framegrabber, the least loved of all tuner card types
[10:58:26] justinh: they 'work' but that's about all they've got going for them. no real use for making recordings in any kind of nice way

[10:59:10] justinh: get a tv tuner card with onboard mpeg encoding :)
[10:59:21] justinh: or go digital :)
[10:59:23] gbee: Lizard123: which version of mythtv?
[10:59:51] gbee: might be one of those ffmpeg api changes that switches bitrate from kb to bytes or similar

[11:01:29] justinh: no guarantee, people can mess with packages themselves

[11:24:49] wagnerrp: recording at 2GB/min is just not possible

[11:48:06] gbee: qazwsx: you're doing it all backwards

[11:49:38] gbee: same deal
[11:49:41] wagnerrp: qazwsx: you probably want to flush all of your video content out of mythtv first
[11:49:44] wagnerrp: let it rescan
[11:49:53] wagnerrp: and let it properly parse out season and episode numbers
[11:50:08] wagnerrp: the current grabber format does not work properly for TV shows unless it has those values

[11:51:34] gbee: agh, attached the plug with difficulty to this cable before I put it in the conduit, now I've got to redo it :/

[11:54:37] qazwsx: wagnerrp: the rage script is having problems getting data from tvrage.com not the insert into the dbase.. I think they changed their website (again) and broke the script
[11:54:55] wagnerrp: them changing their website would have made no difference
[11:54:59] gbee: wagnerrp: he's inserting them as recordings ... which is messed up, but what some people did before mythvideo existed
[11:55:18] wagnerrp: unless your script was actually scraping the website, rather than properly using the API
[11:55:28] wagnerrp: in which case it should have been scrapped before it was ever written
[11:55:40] qazwsx: wagnerrp: the url that the script uses doesnt exist anymore. it uses an url that has been moved and changed.
[11:56:43] qazwsx: wasnt a page scraper but when the change from http://tvrage.com/quicklook.php..... to http://sevices.tvrage.com/<new scripts>/....
[11:56:54] wagnerrp: ah
[11:56:57] qazwsx: where the <new scripts> is replaced the single one into 4 or 5
[11:57:03] wagnerrp: hadnt realized there was a API change
[11:57:15] qazwsx: instead of one script doing all of it it is broken out.
[11:57:51] qazwsx: yeah.. I hacked around on the script and such before coming and asking questions..
[11:59:07] wagnerrp: so youre trying to insert new recordings into mythtv, rather than using mythvideo?
[11:59:26] qazwsx: yes.
[11:59:40] qazwsx: why would I put tv shows in with my movies?
[12:00:03] qazwsx: sorry for teh dumb questions
[12:01:13] wagnerrp: mythvideo is supposed to be the place for all assorted non-recording video in mythtv
[12:01:28] wagnerrp: if you dont want them mixed in with your movies, just put them in separate folders
[12:01:40] wagnerrp: have a 'Movies' folder and a 'Television' folder
[12:03:10] qazwsx: I will look into that.
[12:05:15] iamlindoro: wagnerrp: FWIW, the Rage grabber *is* a scraper, so your conclusions are correct
[12:05:43] iamlindoro: They have since created an API, but the script doesn't use it

[15:44:34] justinh: or the channel editor in mythfrontend..
[15:44:41] wagnerrp: using mythweb, for sufficiently few channels
[15:44:56] wagnerrp: theres a bug where it ceases to function after 100 or so channels
[15:45:19] highzeth: wagnerrp: not noticed that bug in fixes
[15:45:19] jolaren: There's like 10 channels so I will give mythweb a try
[15:45:34] wagnerrp: something to do with a HTML limitation in the number of editable fields
[15:45:44] justinh: bah, I give up trying to do battle with hdparm
[15:45:52] jolaren: wagnerrp: The listing works in mythweb
[15:45:54] jolaren: But not in the client
[15:46:15] wagnerrp: if the listings data shows up in mythweb, it will show up in the client
[15:46:17] justinh: think I might just have to bite the bullet & put the new backend online.. which'll mean upgrading.. and that means I have to get that new theme up to snuff. Double bah
[15:46:36] iamlindoro: That's the spirit
[15:46:54] jolaren: wagnerrp: but it doesnt
[15:47:02] jolaren: wagnerrp: might be utf-8 errors or something?
[15:47:09] jolaren: It says UNKNOWN (unknown)
[15:47:22] wagnerrp: it says that because there is no guide data in the database
[15:47:26] justinh: 'unknown' is the same in ascii as it is in wtf-8
[15:47:47] wagnerrp: unknown means 'nothing (i have absolutely no data)'
[15:47:56] jolaren: wagnerrp: but why does mythweb work?
[15:47:58] justinh: the only way you could have guide data in mythweb but none in mythfrontend would be if they're talking to a different database
[15:48:00] highzeth: if the xmltv id's aint attached to their proper channels it wont show up in the client tho, will it? Sure it will show in mythweb, albeit channel less
[15:48:08] justinh: or that
[15:48:29] justinh: like you've got channels in the channel table with xmltvids (and guide data shown) but no tuning info
[15:48:36] gbee: it will still show in the client, but you'll have two of each channel, one with and one without guide data
[15:49:10] wagnerrp: is mythweb somehow running off a different database than mythfrontend?
[15:49:17] justinh: if only there was some way of making xmltv config much easier
[15:49:28] jolaren: wagnerrp: Is that even possible? Im using the stable weekly builds
[15:49:29] gbee: because of the retarded way we still insert channels sourced from xmltv into the database even though most people use digital and many listings sources have never included analogue tuning info anyway
[15:49:37] highzeth: ok, been years since I set it up, but I seem to recall those stray channels I had wrong xmltvid's in didnt show in the client
[15:49:40] wagnerrp: mythtv does not have stable weekly builds
[15:49:48] wagnerrp: or unstable weekly builds
[15:49:55] wagnerrp: or release builds
[15:50:01] wagnerrp: or any other kind of builds
[15:50:05] gbee: or builds
[15:50:05] beeezn: hi, i'm thinking about building a new fe/be combined mythbox. i was thinking about getting one of those ion chipsets, they seem like really worth the money! my question now: size doesn't matter that much to me, so mini-itx is absoluety not a must, i could happely go with micro atx. would you recommend paying a little bit more for a micro atx setup or go with the mini-itx one? (is ion capable enough for combined fe/be)?
[15:50:34] beeezn: i've read alot ion does perfectly play hd content as a frontend
[15:50:43] beeezn: but combined fe/be togheter with commflagging?
[15:50:44] justinh: if you've got channels in the xmltv config file which don't have an association by xmltvid in the channel table, mythfilldatabase will insert them into the db as blank unusable channels with good guide data
[15:50:53] wagnerrp: beeezn: you dont care about size... is power consumption a huge concern?
[15:51:15] Goga777 (Goga777!~Goga777@shpd-92-101-131-54.vologda.ru) has joined #mythtv-users
[15:51:37] highzeth: beeezn: more imporantly, what tuners are you planning to get?
[15:51:47] justinh: you don't care about size.. get a big fugly *proper* system with enough grunt to play back anything you can throw at it, and hide it :)
[15:52:15] wagnerrp: yeah, an ION system works fine for a frontend
[15:52:20] wagnerrp: but its VERY limiting for a backend
[15:52:34] wagnerrp: limiting in hard drives, limiting in expansion cards
[15:52:44] beeezn: no power consumption is not that much of a concern, i will use one dvb-c tuner for now
[15:52:49] wagnerrp: and if youve got content that cannot play over VDPAU for whatever reason, youre pretty well SOL
[15:52:50] highzeth: beeezn: if pci(-e) tuners, setup a "oldish" box with all the tuners and as justinh says, hide it. Then get a ION as a frontend. Big + on the WAF
[15:52:54] jolaren: btw wagnerrp, I solved my problem (or not really but kinda) I bought a antenna splitter and one end goes to the tv and one to the server so I can atleast record the free ones
[15:52:59] justinh: one tuner? heh. I remember when one was enough
[15:53:02] beeezn: yeah it is a pci card
[15:53:26] wagnerrp: if power concern isnt a big issue, just get a nice AMD dual core, and nvidia microatx board
[15:53:29] beeezn: well those ion sets are just so cheap
[15:53:37] beeezn: that is why i started looking at them
[15:53:40] wagnerrp: should run you about as much as an ION set
[15:53:41] justinh: beeezn: ion will be no good for commflagging etc
[15:54:10] beeezn: ok wagnerrp will take a look! thx!
[16:00:12] beeezn: hmm, mabye i'm just blind but i can't find any good micro-atx boards with solid nvidia gpu onboard (vdpau support). most of them have amd chips onboard. but getting a dedicated nvidia gpu mean more money
[16:01:32] wagnerrp: the amd ones are $50-$70
[16:01:37] highzeth: seriously consider splitting be & fe up, and get a ION as frontend. I cannot tell you how happy we are with that setup. =)
[16:01:38] wagnerrp: the nvidia ones are $70-$90
[16:02:14] beeezn: yeah but splitting means double the money :)
[16:02:20] beeezn: ups
[16:02:30] highzeth: you *will* want another tuner (or more) in the near future, would be kinda sad if you had no pci(e) slots left in on the mobo then wouldnt it?
[16:02:33] beeezn: wagnerrp, you mean dedicated gpus with these prices?
[16:02:38] wagnerrp: you dont have an old spare machine laying around?
[16:02:55] beeezn: well i do have an old athlon xp 2000+ around
[16:03:05] wagnerrp: thats plenty good for a digital tuner
[16:03:05] highzeth: there you go ;)
[16:03:18] wagnerrp: and it will probably still be more powerful than a new Atom machine
[16:03:36] highzeth: and Im sure its mobo got atleast 3 pci slots?
[16:03:40] beeezn: yeas
[16:03:42] beeezn: -a
[16:04:05] beeezn: hmm yeah maybe i can hide that old loud machine somewhere and get an ion frontend
[16:04:06] wagnerrp: looks like newegg currently has two nvidia boards
[16:04:15] highzeth: so get a acer revo 3600/3601 as a frontend, and use the xp2000 as a be and hide it away =)
[16:04:20] wagnerrp: one asrock for $55, and one asus for $65

[16:05:22] beeezn: but that old xp2000 machine is loud
[16:05:24] wagnerrp: and the Regor chips start at $53
[16:05:29] beeezn: need to really hide somewhere
[16:05:30] beeezn: ^
[16:05:38] wagnerrp: beeezn: so like justinh said, hide it
[16:06:27] wagnerrp: ive got most of my machines hidden in a cold dark corner of the basement
[16:06:56] wagnerrp: keeps them cool, makes the basement a bit warmer, makes my office so much more bearable
[16:07:22] highzeth: the only thing you might wanna consider then is the PSU in the XP box, unless it has enough grunt as-is. Toss in all the hdd's you need there
[16:07:52] justinh: the great thing about mythtv is that you don't *need* to have it all in one box :)
[16:07:56] beeezn: well the psu that is in there is actually quite new and good i think, got that one from another machine
[16:08:26] wagnerrp: thats a 89W chip, plus maybe 30W for all the other hardware
[16:08:42] highzeth: sounds like you got what you need for a good BE then, how much RAM you got in it?
[16:08:43] wagnerrp: a 300W in there is going to run at least 5–6 hard drives before you might run into spinup issues
[16:08:55] beeezn: i think its a 350
[16:08:56] wagnerrp: anything 1GB or more is plenty for a backend
[16:09:00] beeezn: 1gb is in there
[16:09:02] beeezn: right now
[16:09:03] justinh: plus, keeping CPUs & GPUs cool quietly is enough of an issue without adding tuner cards & HDDs to the mix
[16:09:34] justinh: wagnerrp: unless it's a '300W' PSU of course. Seen plenty of those fail to stay on with even 3 HDDs coming up
[16:10:05] wagnerrp: ok... s/300W/actual 300W with decent 12V rails/
[16:10:17] justinh: heh
[16:10:27] beeezn: man those hdds are cheap these days, haven't bought one for years, and now i get 2tb for i use to pay for 120gb
[16:10:33] wagnerrp: older supplies liked to dump a lot more power onto the 3.3/5V rails
[16:10:43] justinh: you can count the amount of *actual* W PSUs on one hand compared to the junk that comes with the majority of cases
[16:11:39] wagnerrp: and some of those cheap PSUs either choke or burn up when run for extended periods at even 50W below their rated power
[16:12:39] wagnerrp: i imagine those cheapo 1kW 'Ultra' supplies wont even get within a few hundred watts
[16:12:50] beeezn: i know i said power consumption is not that much of an issue, but anyhow, the xp2000 system probably sucks up way more power than an ion?

[16:13:07] jolaren: Is it possible somehow to make mythtvfrontend/backend exit gdm when not in use?
[16:13:20] wagnerrp: jolaren: dont run GDM
[16:13:54] wagnerrp: start X manually, with a basic window manager in the background, and mythfe as the primary task
[16:14:04] wagnerrp: the X server will shut down as soon as the primary task exits
[16:14:14] Beirdo: you can do that from gdm though, using an init file
[16:14:33] wagnerrp: but why bother?

[16:14:48] bjd: cos it's easy

[17:31:09] ** smithna goes off to check **
[17:31:24] sphery: agreed... run MythTV 0.22-fixes (or 0.21-fixes) if they have old hardware
[17:32:00] sphery: just like Via users can't upgrade kernels--because the driver in the new kernel breaks XvMC--they won't be able to upgrade MythTV, either
[17:32:14] sphery: so they either stick with old versions of Myth or they upgrade hardware so they can upgrade Myth
[17:32:21] sphery: but that's just my opinion
[17:33:07] sphery: On the bright side, I'm not the guy who has to maintain the XvMC code :)
[17:33:07] sphery: oh, and I would actually have to upgrade hardware if they do drop Xv support

[18:39:15] gbee: XvMC has always been close to useless and with some significant disadvantages
[18:39:20] sphery: I don't know how ugly the code is, so I can't really even give any good reasoning for whether to keep it or not other than getting rid of it meaning less code.
[18:39:57] sphery: gbee: that was always my opinion, too, which is why I made the comment about removing XvMC, regardless of what happens with Xv
[18:41:46] gbee: I'm sorry for those people who made the mistake of buying Via hardware, I really am, but from what justinh said about how poorly his ran with 0.21, I'm surprised they'd even try to run 0.22 or later

[18:50:27] devinheitmueller: I tried out the software deinterlacer on a machine I only bought a few months ago (meaning it was relatively modern), and the software deinterlacers still couldn't keep up.
[18:50:41] iamlindoro: and if your project has smart developers who have gradually rewritten the deinterlacers to be multithreaded, which we do :)
[18:50:48] ** iamlindoro sends beer to mark **
[18:51:16] iamlindoro: Which is not to say that all of them are multithreaded yet, btw
[18:52:41] iamlindoro: devinheitmueller: I know that one of Mark's big tasks in rewriting video output in the OSD branch is reworking how the UI /video/deinterlacing are threaded-- I suspect if he can get it worked out to his satisfaction that we may see a substantial performance improvement

[19:04:52] devinheitmueller: idiot
[19:05:10] sphery: devinheitmueller: What deinterlacing do you get from XvMC? Doesn't XvMC just /limit/ your choice of deinterlacers to Bob only?
[19:05:48] sphery: (where you can also choose bob with Xv and GL and VDPAU--if you like it)
[19:06:11] sphery: I may be wrong, though--I don't use XvMC.
[19:06:35] devinheitmueller: sphery: I believe that XvMC does let you do Bob only, but I'm talking about the performance of the standard software deinterlacers, and how poorly they perform in general, and how deinterlacing is really only feasible with XvMC (via Bob deinterlacing)
[19:08:51] sphery: Ah. Well, in theory kernel and one field (and maybe linear blend) should be little extra effort. Bob is definitely the least effort (but I don't know about bob 2x--or if it's even different). Though, as iamlindoro mentioned, having the deinterlacing in a separate thread (for 0.23) will be a great boon for multi-core/multi-proc systems.
[19:09:35] sphery: I will admit that some of the best software deinterlacing will kill even a pretty powerful system (versus an iamlindoro system, which could keep up with it :)
[19:09:37] devinheitmueller: Yeah, without Xvmc I've definitely seen cases where the CPU is at 100%, even on modern hardware.
[19:10:02] devinheitmueller: ... at which point I would rather have interlaced content than frame dropping.
[19:10:15] iamlindoro: Another thing that helped (with H.264 anyway) recently is the ffmpeg sync, which someone benchmarked at 15% faster decoding for that material

[19:21:45] sphery: perhaps "is a weekday" (since the frontend uses "5 weekdays" and that's what I quoted)

[19:24:31] devinheitmueller: It's PAINFUL.
[19:24:44] sphery: kormoc: in mythfrontend, the actual words are "5 weekdays if daily" and "7 days per week if daily" and it toggles which is displayed based on the day specified for Start Date (so the user has no idea how to change it from 5/wk to 7/wk--they don't see the "other" side of the coin/the explanation for how the decision is made)
[19:24:44] kormoc: wow
[19:24:59] sphery: I don't know JS well enough to do that type of conditional display
[19:25:23] sphery: and, I really believe that explaining the rules is better than forcing users to randomly change dates and figure out the pattern :)
[19:25:41] sphery: gbee's recommended approach is good, but that's /way/ beyond me
[19:26:28] sphery: Of course, this doesn't explain how the find date and find time work for find daily/find weekly rules (which is the other place we encode meaning into the starttime)
[19:27:33] sphery: so one day we'll get someone's ticket for that... followed by my explaining the rules, then the ticket getting closed, and then the anon user saying, "If your doctor told you to find a pill once a week, would you really think that means a week starting exactly at the point when he says that..."  :)

[21:04:33] sphery: elmojo: The numbers I have in my notes look suspect... They show an increase from an average of 50.836kWh/mo to 76.216kWh/mo when switching from an AMD Athlon XP 1700+ to a 65W AMD Athlon II X2 240. Granted, it's all new mobo and a switch from 512MB DDR to 4GB DDR2, but the chipset should be a lot more efficient than the old. Then again, it's possible that the 1700+ wasn't the 64W TDP (Palomino) version, but a newer 49.5W or ...
[21:04:40] sphery: ... 51W TDP (Thoroughbred A/B) version...
[21:05:57] elmojo: sphery: I'm running an XP3000+ right now and see 120W at the wall
[21:06:10] sphery: actually, it's quite possible that is accurate... So, between the 1/2GB RAM to 4GB RAM and the CPU and mobo usage, it did increase by about 50%
[21:06:12] elmojo: was hoping a new AMD setup would be < 80 watts at the wall
[21:06:25] elmojo: that's terrible
[21:06:33] sphery: same HDD and PSU, mobo has CPU/RAM/single HDD and no other peripherals.
[21:06:47] sphery: but now it's a dual-core
[21:07:25] sphery: oh, and the 76.216kWh/mo (which is an average draw of 105.86W at the wall) is while running BOINC/SETI@home 24/7/52
[21:07:45] elmojo: how much does that load the CPU?
[21:08:02] kormoc: 100% for both cores
[21:08:05] sphery: the majority of the power usage savings with new CPU's is in the idle/power savings features of the newer CPU's
[21:08:09] sphery: right, 100% x 2 cores
[21:08:19] sphery: so no Cool 'n' Quiet for me :)
[21:08:26] elmojo: cool, wonder what you see at the wall while idle
[21:08:43] elmojo: sphery: why are you running that?
[21:09:07] sphery: to find the aliens
[21:09:17] sphery: I haven't run any idle tests
[21:09:37] elmojo: sphery: I've even thought about going with a Sempron
[21:09:45] kormoc: They are tricksy, those aliens, hiding behind the space dust...
[21:09:59] sphery: I can do that sometime, but it will be a while (I broke my dev box to allow me to try to reproduce the 7%/14% CPU usage issue so I can see when Qt fixed it)
[21:10:14] sphery: so concentrating on my dev box, now

[21:17:50] wagnerrp: sphery: do you know much of the perl bindings? i cant seem to find any 'DELETE_RECORDING' call in there

[21:18:25] sphery: kormoc: see, that's how it's done... my dev box was out of action for only 3 hours
[21:18:46] sphery: wagnerrp: the perl bindings only have a backend_command call
[21:19:08] wagnerrp: sounds good, thats the best i could come up with (and thats the source line i linked him to)
[21:19:34] sphery: wagnerrp: you have to actually know what command to send and what arguments and what it returns and how to parse what it returns (or to pass it to the thing that creates recordings from rows or ...)
[21:19:59] wagnerrp: sphery: i also linked him to the backend protocol documentation for the command on the wiki
[21:20:32] sphery: i.e. perl bindings are like C++ and the python bindings are like Qt
[21:20:49] sphery: better would be to convince him to use the python bindings :)
[21:21:30] wagnerrp: well for one, i linked him to semi-complete wiki documentation, the other linked him to the source on trac
[21:21:34] wagnerrp: he can choose for himself
[21:23:51] sphery: there, I tried to sell him on the python bindings

[21:57:13] wagnerrp: its been on the secondary tuner on my HDHR

[22:01:10] sphery: ahh
[22:01:16] andreax: Anyone got an idea, why mythwelcome (or better sudo) is still asking for password when the frontend should shutdown? I made the relevant entries in /etc/sudoers and from terminal the mythtv-user is able to shutdown the system. From mythwelcome not...
[22:01:40] wagnerrp: looks like im losing two recordings tonight
[22:01:53] wagnerrp: the other three fell (or will fall) onto the good tuner
[22:02:13] sphery: wow, iamlindoro will be jealous that you have 2 more LOST recordings than he does
[22:02:20] andreax: I mean from terminal it wont ask for a password, from mythwelcome i get that question....
[22:02:36] iamlindoro: har har har
[22:02:48] sphery: wagnerrp: have you tried stopping the recording in progress? Shouldn't restart if you stop it properly.
[22:02:58] sphery: then you can check that tuner out

[22:04:53] sphery: or is this the first time you've tried to configure it?
[22:05:07] wagnerrp: and there goes the other tuner.... theyve both locked
[22:05:09] andreax: sphery: Cant answer that correctly, i reinstalled the whole machine 2 days ago...
[22:05:10] sphery: (actually, could have started as early as 23518
[22:05:15] andreax: But before it was working...
[22:05:35] sphery: then it's probably your sudo config... unfortunately, I don't know sudoers
[22:05:59] sphery: I have it working in a very restricted condition, so I won't be any help
[22:06:09] sphery: might want to check with the ubuntu channel
[22:06:32] andreax: Lost all the renderers and deinterlacers a while ago, after some tries to fix this, i reinstall the whole machine...
[22:07:12] andreax: Crazy thing is i can halt and reboot the machine from the terminal. There i got no question for a password. But when mythwelcome (or frontend) try to do the same thing, it asks for a pw.
[22:07:55] sphery: different users?
[22:08:04] sphery: mythfrontend running as mythtv user or something?
[22:08:05] andreax: Nono, both mythtv.
[22:08:23] sphery: different sessions, perhaps?
[22:08:55] andreax: mythtv (user) is running mythwelcome. And i tried it from a remote terminal as the same user.
[22:09:12] andreax: I think so, the one is on xorg, the other the pure terminal.
[22:09:34] sphery: I'm not sure what it could be
[22:09:47] sphery: sorry (and good luck with it!)
