[00:01:37] kalelme: wow thx work perfect
[00:01:38] kalelme: lol
[00:01:44] kalelme: 3 days
[00:01:49] kalelme: very very thx
[00:12:08] dougt: if I have a recording named something like /var/lib/mythtv/recording/7750_20100506130000.mpg, and I create a transcoding next to this file like 7750_20100506130000.flv (or whatever), when the recording gets deleted, will it also clean up the .flv file?

[00:20:01] Captain_Murdoch: dougt, no
[00:20:48] wagnerrp: for the moment, myth will only recognize one file per recording
[00:21:06] wagnerrp: you can however write you won system event job to clean up any matching files at the time of deletion
[00:21:14] dougt: ah, that is perfect.
[00:21:23] dougt: that is the system event stuff in 0.23?
[00:22:03] Captain_Murdoch: no, multiple-files-per-recording is another feature being slowly worked on. (still in concept stages, no actual code other than a proof of concept test I did a while back)
[00:22:42] Captain_Murdoch: and even then, if Myth doesn't know about teh .flv, it wouldn't delete it. it won't delete using wildcard filenames.
[00:23:13] Captain_Murdoch: currently the only place we delete like thatis the png preview pixmaps and that's because they have different sizes in the filenames.

[01:05:55] wagnerrp: no, probably marginal on that processor

[01:15:09] wagnerrp: with all other settings remaining the same
[01:15:42] JohnQ: Gotcha
[01:16:00] JohnQ: Default settings are pretty high bitrate iirc...
[01:16:10] wagnerrp: dont know off hand
[01:16:31] wagnerrp: thats an old 939 chip, right?

[01:23:08] JohnQ: I dont think so...

[01:25:08] JohnQ: Its 3.2 Ghz
[01:25:48] JohnQ: I would have thought it would be sufficient..
[01:26:29] JohnQ: It seems to be the beefiest thing my mobo will take too.
[01:30:11] JohnQ: Oh well, I guess I'll just turn down the bitrate and see what happens.
[01:31:30] iamlindoro: or try selecting a much simpler deinterlacer
[01:31:50] iamlindoro: ie, with that processor and HD-PVR, you should almost definitely be using "Slim"
[01:31:50] JohnQ: Where's that setting live?
[01:31:55] JohnQ: Ahh
[01:31:57] JohnQ: Slim
[01:31:58] JohnQ: Kay
[01:32:05] iamlindoro: Utilities/Setup->Setup->TV Settings->Playback Settings, page 3
[01:32:44] iamlindoro: it's a good first step before changing recording profiles, anyway
[01:33:09] JohnQ: Excellent. I'll try that (It was set to CPU++)
[01:33:17] iamlindoro: yikes, definitely don't want that :)
[01:34:07] JohnQ: That seems to have fixed it.
[01:34:58] JohnQ: mythfrontend is still at "105% CPU", but no stutters...
[01:37:03] JohnQ: You are my hero.
[01:37:27] sphery: wagnerrp: I was just saying that a little vdpau would go a long way
[01:37:29] iamlindoro: enjoy ;)
[01:37:50] JohnQ: I dont think my video card supports vdpau...
[01:37:53] JohnQ: I wish it did...
[01:38:02] sphery: JohnQ: that's why I said, "GT220"
[01:38:07] sphery: i.e. get one  :)
[01:38:08] JohnQ: Ah
[01:38:28] sphery: but if what you have fulfills your needs, no worries
[01:38:33] sphery: now that you have it usable
[01:38:36] JohnQ: I think with "Slim" my problems are gone... so I think I am happy.
[01:38:50] JohnQ: But if it comes back, I will definitely consider it.
[01:39:03] JohnQ: Thanks a load everyone!

[04:12:26] Pwen: by nonfunctional I mean that when pushing enter to open the video interface, nothing happens. the same is not true for livetv, or the options menus, or listen to music etc.

[04:25:31] Pwen: wonder how I can fix that?
[04:29:41] clever: recompile/install the plugins
[04:31:28] Pwen: clever: I will try an aptitude reinstall, but I suspect this is the fault of a Mythbuntu package maintainer
[04:31:44] clever: yeah, if its a binary package then its the packagers fault

[05:57:04] dad__: have you set a cron job to get your xmltv data
[05:58:21] martin-lb: i did a manual 'mythfilldatabase' which downloaded stuff, it took a few minutes.. so I think the data is downloaded, but not mapped correct
[05:58:38] dad__: do you use a prgram to retriev xmltv data or is collected with myth (*i dont know idf it does this as I use a seperate program to collect my xml data

[08:09:09] Jay2k1: yes
[08:09:33] Jay2k1: that's what i did anyway
[08:09:44] emanuelez: then I only get a handful of channels out of the almost 3000 that the channels.conf contained
[08:09:55] Jay2k1: i went through the first 20 or so and realised it's only doublettes
[08:10:08] wagnerrp: Jay2k1: that same recording from a digital tuner would be 14–16GB
[08:10:23] Jay2k1: what you mean, digital tuner?
[08:10:31] Jay2k1: i'm talking about dvb-c all the time
[08:10:45] wagnerrp: there are tuners for dvb-c
[08:11:02] wagnerrp: even ones with CAMs usable for conditional access systems
[08:11:19] Jay2k1: yeah, i have such a card, a knc one
[08:11:26] christi_p: Hey, I've an odd problem with my mythtv sound. I want to get mythtv sound output via hdmi to my tv. Therefore I chose the setting "ALSA:hdmi" in the general settings. It works for my music but not for livetv and recordings. What am I making wrong? ;)
[08:11:37] wagnerrp: and its recordings will be larger than that of the HDPVR
[08:11:42] Jay2k1: w/o cam though, as my cable provider does not encrypt free channels
[08:12:36] Jay2k1: HDPVR? i am talking about "normal" dvb-c-channels and hd channels on dvb-c, of which there are a few here
[08:13:12] Jay2k1: so its perfectly logical that the hd material is larger than the non-hd stuff
[08:13:17] wagnerrp: oh, usually the only people asking about cutting h264 recordings are HDPVR users
[08:13:24] wagnerrp: my mistake
[08:13:56] Jay2k1: well, i only just noticed it is h.264 because i wanted to cut it, using the lossless method
[08:14:15] wagnerrp: all HD over here is mpeg2, meaning 13–18mbps, as opposed to HDPVR recordings which will be 10–13mbps
[08:14:28] Jay2k1: ah
[08:14:43] Jay2k1: well, i guess that's why they air in h.264 here ;)
[08:15:11] Jay2k1: also, the channels i am talking about are 720p
[08:15:47] wagnerrp: anyway... youve got the same problem as all the HDPVR users, as they cannot clip their recordings with mythtranscode either
[08:16:04] Jay2k1: anyway, their schedule is a bit off quite often, because they have some live shows that extend their scheduled air time often
[08:16:10] wagnerrp: this thread may be of use... http://forums.sagetv.com/forums/showthread.php?t=40885
[08:16:37] Jay2k1: so i need to add about 30 minutes post-roll, so you can imagine the final recording is way larger than it needs to be, especially if there are commercials in it
[08:17:57] christi_p: Hey, I've an odd problem with my mythtv sound. I want to get mythtv sound output via hdmi to my tv. Therefore I chose the setting "ALSA:hdmi" in the general settings. It works for my music but not for livetv and recordings. Does anyone have a hint?

[08:20:29] justinh: bah. anyone ever tried to get people who link to a site to update their links? what a mare. course if I'd been able to convince this club to go to nominet get their rightful domain back..
[08:20:31] wagnerrp: frontend setup
[08:21:28] Jay2k1: hmm, this basically says i have to move the recordings to another computer and manually cut them with some software, i thought maybe there'd be a nice way to integrate with myth... i found this thread

[08:21:57] oobe is now known as floompy
[08:22:04] Jay2k1: that guy uses ffmpeg in two steps. perhaps that method could be used in a shell script which can be run as user job
[08:22:32] Jay2k1: so i take it it's not planned to make mythtranscode capable of handling h.264?
[08:23:25] justinh: huh? course it will.. one day... all it'll take is for somebody to implement it
[08:23:30] Dibblah: The plan is that mythtranscode disappears entirely.
[08:23:33] Dibblah: Disks are cheap.
[08:23:51] wagnerrp: Dibblah: the purpose is for commercial stripping, not transcoding
[08:23:56] Dibblah: Only kidding – The plan is to internalise mythtranscode, for stuff like live playback, etc.
[08:24:07] wagnerrp: works for mpeg2 content, not h264
[08:24:16] Dibblah: Or was, last time I heard.
[08:24:29] justinh: could be a way off though. Need iiiiiiiiiiiiinput!

[08:24:46] Jay2k1: sure disks are cheap, but if you have a combined FE/BE like me, space is limited, also the more disks, the more energy / heat / noise
[08:24:58] justinh: by that I mean all contributions which aren't whining, posturing or merely *suggesting* are welcomed
[08:25:11] justinh: muh muh muh
[08:25:22] wagnerrp: Jay2k1: nah, it just means you need more space, nothing stopping you from spinning them down when not in use
[08:25:35] justinh: so by that line, small box – you logically can't afford to keep it all :D
[08:25:55] justinh: you're gonna run out of space sooner or later
[08:26:14] Jay2k1: i'll surely do :)
[08:26:20] justinh: heck even people with PB worth of storage are gonna run out eventually

[08:26:31] Jay2k1: yes.
[08:26:42] wagnerrp: no they arent
[08:26:50] justinh: but then the people with PB aren't expecting to house it all in a tiny box under the teevee
[08:26:54] Jay2k1: so the goal should be to move that point of running outta space as far as possible
[08:26:56] wagnerrp: there just isnt time to watch that much content in a lifetime at current bitrates
[08:27:29] justinh: wagnerrp: heh. as if having time to watch stuff was ever an argument against squirreling things away :P
[08:28:35] justinh: I know at least 5 habitual copyright infringers whose aim is simply to collect all they can. watching stuff doesn't seem to figure on their agenda much :-\
[08:29:41] Jay2k1: well, for me it's mainly about recording and keeping good movies which are worth watching more than once, especially as i can now record them with 5.1 sound
[08:29:59] wagnerrp: at standard 2MB/s broadcast, 1PB is some 17yrs of content

[10:00:07] Chiwauwa: I have two KNC One DVB-C capture cards. They both seem to work flawlessly ... when they are detected. From time to time only one of the cards is registered. MythTV reports a problem with tuner 2 under System info. I believe that I've seen something similar on Windows – the driver is not correctly installed. 'lspci -v' is providing the following input: http://pastebin.com/JUAwvaqE so for me it seems like both cards are detected? Anyone with similar
[10:00:08] Chiwauwa: experiences /suggestions on how to solve this. I've tried playing around with modprobe but I have limited experience with this and it did not make a difference.
[10:01:50] Chiwauwa: I know that this is not a problem with MythTV.
[10:01:51] wagnerrp: if you dont have an entry in /dev/dvb for your card, thats more an issue for #linuxtv or #your-distro to help with
[10:02:22] Chiwauwa: wagnerrp, Thanks.
[10:02:27] markl_: maybe dmesg can help?
[10:02:33] markl_: sometimes you can find interesting errors there
[10:02:37] Chiwauwa: Dmesg only present one card
[10:02:55] wagnerrp: maybe try a different slot?
[10:03:02] wagnerrp: physical slot on the motherbaord
[10:03:05] Chiwauwa: Sometimes is shows two ... that is the odd thing. Might also be an issue with the card
[10:03:32] Chiwauwa: I only have two PCI cards. Also tried to assign static IRQ in the bios but these seems to overridden by something else
[10:03:42] Chiwauwa: PCI slots
[10:04:44] Chiwauwa: I was just thinking that if lspci -v shows the card then I might be able to get it up and running when the system is up and running and detecting that only one card is present
[10:04:54] Chiwauwa: Ok, thank you for your help on this.

[10:11:39] Chiwauwa: Ive now been playing with MythTV for the last couple of weeks. I must say that I'm very impressed with it. Looked at it 5 years ago and went with the MS solution (MythTV at least for me required too many command line exercises from time to time) at that time. Then came DVB-C and the problems with DVB-C support in MS. Have then been trying out MediaPortal for 6 months but for me the releases bacame more and more unstable, so I thought why not try M
[10:11:39] Chiwauwa: ythTV again – I have no issues with a lot of configuration if the system is stable afterwards and this seems to be the case with MythTV. All three systems have theire advantages/disadvantages but I think that I will stay MythTV for now :-).

[10:23:50] wagnerrp: sphery: any opinion on #2782?
[10:24:32] wagnerrp: personally, i dont know whether thats actually a good idea
[10:25:00] wagnerrp: all it checks is CPU load, so if the load is low because youre doing a disk intensive program
[10:25:15] wagnerrp: such as moving stuff around, or commercial clipping, or rebuilding the seek table
[10:25:25] wagnerrp: adding additional jobs would be a bad thing
[10:26:04] wagnerrp: similarly, if those jobs are intentionally running at less than full speed, such as the lowest priority on the commflagger, adding additional jobs would be a bad thing
[10:28:14] wagnerrp: i only ask since im working on reimplementing the jobqueue
[10:28:28] wagnerrp: maybe add some additional database flag for a job saying it is allowed to autoscale
[10:28:50] sphery: wagnerrp: I'm actually against that--especially the implementation there. I think Captain_Murdoch had some ideas for a cleaner implementation--which is why it's a 3-yr-old, unapplied patch.

[10:43:35] wagnerrp: i was looking at that, dont know what would have changed between 0.22 and 0.23 to break that
[10:43:49] iamlindoro: I am trying to figure out what the thing on the right is
[10:43:54] iamlindoro: ninja star?
[10:44:07] iamlindoro: or just an "x" for "wrong-o"
[10:44:47] iamlindoro: I like that he associated the correct ninja turtle with the correct weapon, guy knows his TMNT
[10:45:43] johnnyj: i think that's a Zero with a slash through it – the mark of a computer nerd
[10:46:03] wagnerrp: he means the weird squiggly X on the right

[10:47:10] wagnerrp: if only there was some way to make that easier to do...
[10:47:42] johnnyj: speaking of – in the web view of trac ios there a way to NOT get the line numbers when I copy and paste?
[10:48:08] iamlindoro: wagnerrp: unterminated ()

[10:48:17] iamlindoro: cursor = db.cursor()
[10:48:28] iamlindoro: at least, knowing nothing about python that's my guess
[10:48:28] wagnerrp: johnnyj: click the plaintext link at the bottom
[10:49:41] wagnerrp: yeah, that would do it
[10:51:43] Captain_Murdoch: wagnerrp, RE: #2782, if we monitor idle time, we'll take into account I/O wait which is a little helpful. my plan was to allow the user to specify the # of jobs or let the system decide. some people may just want to let the system run full-bore during the early morning hours processing jobs.
[10:52:42] sphery: Wait a minute... mythadder.py? A python is a non-venomous snake, and, therefore, by definition is /not/ an adder. Has wagnerrp been doing genetic engineering experiments, again?

[11:02:32] sphery: Captain_Murdoch: ah, yeah, with your description, I guess that's how I'd do it. Using the same setting, with maybe a negative value for auto?

[11:04:16] Captain_Murdoch: sphery, yeah, or '0' for auto. don't remmber if I put that in my patch or not.
[11:04:36] Captain_Murdoch: iamlindoro, that's handled by Qt already. not sure if libmythui has such a feature.
[11:04:41] johnnyj: um – is an ASRock 330 an atom proc ? and if so – is that enough to run dual FE/BE on in 1080i w/o issues?
[11:05:16] sphery: Captain_Murdoch: cool... just making sure we don't get a new setting. :)
[11:05:18] j-rod: yes, the asrock boxes are dual-core atom-330 procs
[11:05:24] j-rod: 64-bit
[11:05:33] Captain_Murdoch: iamlindoro, we already do something similar for the scaling during transcoding. set the height to X and the width to auto and the aspect ratio is preserved and width calculated automatically. ditto for setting height to auto and width to X.
[11:05:58] ** j-rod has a white asrock ion 330 pro box at home now **
[11:06:10] iamlindoro: Captain_Murdoch: I was actually just referring to the UI friendliness of -1 versus "auto"  :)
[11:06:10] Captain_Murdoch: sphery, no. that's one of my issues with his patch, that it got rid of the ability to specify only X jobs max. I might only want to dedicate 1 cpu to jobs.

[11:19:56] iamlindoro: Thanks
[11:20:26] sphery: iamlindoro: yeah, might want to ref the changes to the backend status page
[11:20:40] iamlindoro: I might want to, but I might be too lazy to do so
[11:20:42] sphery: and I am planning to make those same changes available in frontend status page
[11:20:46] sphery: give me a second
[11:21:01] wagnerrp: frontend status page?
[11:21:19] wagnerrp: you mean the info center stuff?

[11:21:24] sphery: wagnerrp: yeah
[11:21:45] Captain_Murdoch: once we store the directory a file is located in, we can do some more logic on the space pages since righ tnow we'd have to search for each file to find out where it is located at.
[11:22:02] sphery: iamlindoro: I realize it's not what xris wanted, but it's at least available, now. And, eventually should be available even in mythWeb
[11:22:39] sphery: Captain_Murdoch: yeah, but we'd also have to store file system info, too, if we want to break it out
[11:23:00] sphery: i.e. which dirs are on the same file system
[11:23:05] iamlindoro: I really want to know how I manage to find new tickets every time I comb through trac
[11:23:16] iamlindoro: because I have been all up in this thing like a proctological exam
[11:23:21] iamlindoro: but still, more tickets
[11:23:26] johnnyj: iamlindoro someone is feeding them after dark
[11:23:28] wagnerrp: well to be fair, that was a FRWOP by a dev
[11:23:31] sphery: though that might happen with MythFileSystemWatcher
[11:24:19] Captain_Murdoch: sphery,we have the hostname, if we had the dir, we could easily check that against the master's copy of host:dir to fsID table.
[11:24:41] Captain_Murdoch: since all that info comes from teh master anyway.
[11:24:51] sphery: didn't know that was kept around
[11:24:53] sphery: cool, though
[11:25:00] Captain_Murdoch: not kept around, just in memory.
[11:25:22] sphery: yeah, I meant kept around in memory
[11:25:23] Captain_Murdoch: well, not in db that is. :) it's available if need be.

[11:49:59] ezzieyguywuf: does this mean that I could get a cable card for my comp and record shows off of these channels?
[11:50:12] ezzieyguywuf: and potentially capture hd streams digitally as well?
[11:50:27] wagnerrp: Captain_Murdoch: would there be any reason to not bake the jobqueue commands as soon as they enter the queue, rather than runtime?
[11:51:04] wagnerrp: im just trying to find a way to decouple the jobqueue from recordings, and thats all i can think of
[11:54:21] wagnerrp: i guess i have no choice but to leave that information around, as i have to mark that recording as in use when the job starts

[12:01:04] clever: i know my problem is in the upnp area
[12:01:34] clever: i beleive what was happening is that select/poll said the socket was ready for a read (because it was closed)
[12:01:50] johnnyj: can we add deleting the old libs to the README for the svn checkout?
[12:01:52] clever: and then when a read() returns 0 bytes, it wrongly goes back to polling it again
[12:02:05] fru: I think what happened is that either FFWD on a movie or playing an mp3 and then switching to playing a game on PS3 may have triggered
[12:02:56] clever: in my case, it was simply closing the tcp socket when the backend didnt expect it
[12:03:06] fru: like mythbackend didn't like the way the cnxn was closed
[12:03:17] fru: yeah
[12:03:19] clever: my slow CPU may have made it worse, causing timeouts on the client to make them give up and close it

[12:14:41] Captain_Murdoch: wagnerrp, you mean apply the matches when the job is put in the queue? some values might change before the job is run, so it needs to be done at runtime.

[12:35:43] sphery: shouldn't be much in the way of wires--and they could go directly through the wall to your TV
[12:35:56] sphery: as it is, with it in the same room, you have /all/ the wires in the room
[12:36:03] resno: sphery: apartments dont like holes in the walls
[12:36:06] johnnyj: resno: the Revo can be mounted to the back of the Tv or as in my case, obscured by it completely
[12:36:15] sphery: Mine are a in another room with just a direct run to the TV
[12:36:24] resno: johnnyj: is the revo "strong" enough?
[12:36:48] johnnyj: as a frontend only – sure – when properly configured with VDPAU
[12:36:51] resno: i was interested in a like a dell zino, but it seems like no one recommended it
[12:37:53] johnnyj: resno: though you will need to add a stick of ram to it – but that's pretty cheap
[12:38:24] resno: johnnyj: i was interested in the revo, and it looks nice. but i read it doesnt do hd video like hulu, etc well
[12:38:40] johnnyj: hulu != MythTv
[12:38:51] resno: yea, that i know
[12:39:31] iamlindoro: and HD flash != HD real video :)
[12:39:40] resno: its a great thing flash doesnt do vdpau
[12:40:03] resno: id get a mac mini, but i cant stomach the price tag.
[12:40:35] johnnyj: i made the mistake of adding comments to that effect on the Adobe issue tracking site and now I'm spammed every time some other person has the same idea
[12:41:05] resno: yea, thatll do it

[12:52:45] sphery: Just do a search with the name you want to use for the page

[12:54:39] sphery: wagnerrp might have some updates/recommendations for it
[12:55:20] wagnerrp: ive got no opinion on mythcal, but if you intend to update it, i can advise as to using the bindings

[12:55:27] sphery: ThisOtherGuy: Though I could have uploaded it myself, I wanted someone with more of a vested interest to do so--also someone who has verified it's working, etc.

[12:56:11] sphery: I'm going to remove the xdg-screensaver support :(
[12:56:18] johnnyj: i saw that coming
[12:56:37] sphery: Unfortunately, distros/DE's don't care to support it, so it's more trouble than benefit.
[12:56:42] johnnyj: i've been delicately disinvesting myself from it
[12:56:54] sphery: well, I still very much appreciate your doing the work

[14:18:05] sphery: thus why the mention of someone's re-trying an upgrade (that they don't know what had already been done) without restoring a pre-upgrade backup always makes me cringe
[14:18:08] wagnerrp: so its possible the 'UPDATE' calls failed after the table was altered
[14:18:17] wagnerrp: ah
[14:18:39] sphery: oh, more likely that's the other problem
[14:19:06] highzeth: hmm *scratches head* I sourced a dump of the db(.22-fixes) before upgrading the myth packages which I removed pre distro upgrades
[14:19:09] sphery: highzeth: I'd bet you restored a 0.21-fixes database onto a pre-populated 0.23-fixes database or some such
[14:19:32] sphery: i.e. the distro gave you a myth database and you restored on top of it without dropping the DB
[14:19:34] highzeth: dropped & sourced that is
[14:20:00] highzeth: negative, care to make another bet? =)
[14:20:21] sphery: Ok, guess that was a different column

[14:21:38] sphery: so, yeah, back to wagnerrp's theory
[14:22:01] sphery: or someone hacked your DB before you upgraded if you're saying there wasn't an upgrade failure
[14:22:09] sphery: or you had 2 different machines upgrading the DB at the same time
[14:22:28] sphery: which "can't" happen (meaning that I don't care to fix the cases where it can)
[14:22:34] markl_: my 0.22 to 0.23 upgrade toasted my mythtv db
[14:22:43] markl_: admittedly i was using a pre-release version
[14:22:50] joe- (joe-!~jsauer@24-113-205-221.wavecable.com) has joined #mythtv-users
[14:22:52] sphery: it still shouldn't have
[14:23:06] wagnerrp: markl_: the database should be consistent in all cases, even when using trunk
[14:23:07] sphery: maybe some plugin schema, but the TV schema should have been fine
[14:23:45] wagnerrp: unless you patched in your own schema changes separate from the official schema revisions
[14:23:54] highzeth: sphery: I did remove myth packages on all BE's, and did the distro upgrades, this is the first occurance of me pulling myth back into the MBE. Shut down any FE access while doing it
[14:23:55] Digital-Pioneer: Soooo... mythtv 0.23. The only way I've found so far to edit the menus is to edit /usr/share/mythtv/themes/defaultmenu/mainmenu.xml ... Now that's dirty, I shouldn' need to edit files in /usr to reconfigure things. Is there a better way to do this?
[14:24:23] wagnerrp: Digital-Pioneer: put the file in your ~/.mythtv directory
[14:24:54] Digital-Pioneer: wagnerrp: Yeah, not sure how exactly I'm supposed to do that... I tried making a ~/.mythtv/mainmenu.xml, no go.
[14:25:11] wagnerrp: yeah, i dont know where exactly youre supposed to put it either
[14:25:19] wagnerrp: but i do know the UI will read from there if available
[14:25:26] Digital-Pioneer: Also tried ~/.mythtv/defaultmenu/mainmenu.xml and ~/.mythtv/themes/defaultmenu/mainmenu.xml
[14:25:41] Digital-Pioneer: Yeah, Google told me that much, but that didn't help me so much. :D
[14:26:52] sphery: Digital-Pioneer: $HOME/.mythtv/default/mainmenu.xml
[14:27:02] sphery: theme name, not dir name
[14:27:21] sphery: though it may not work for menus now that we have a defaultmenu dir
[14:27:26] wagnerrp: sphery: i guess theres no way to do transactions in myisam, and writing code to revert everything would be excessively complex when you could just dump and recover the database
[14:27:40] sphery: wagnerrp: yeah, that's my feeling
[14:28:01] sphery: and generally our updates are non-transactional
[14:28:11] wagnerrp: that would be easy to accomplish with the backend schema
[14:28:16] wagnerrp: since nothing else is supposed o be running
[14:28:26] wagnerrp: you just trash the database, and load your backup
[14:28:51] wagnerrp: but i dont know how that could be run with plugins, where the backend or other frontends could possibly be running
[14:29:22] wagnerrp: i suppose you could specify to the wizard what tables and settings you want to edit
[14:29:50] wagnerrp: and have the schemaupdatewizard manage automatic partial backup and recovery
[14:31:33] Digital-Pioneer: sphery: Still not having much luck...
[14:31:46] wagnerrp: innodb is that much slower for normal operations?
[14:32:39] Digital-Pioneer: sphery: I tried ~/.mythtv/default/mainmenu.xml and ~/.mythtv/Mythbuntu/mainmenu.xml (the selected theme is Mythbuntu, and resides in /usr/share/mythtv/themes/Mythbuntu)
[14:33:42] sphery: Digital-Pioneer: it was probably broken with the move to defaultmenu
[14:34:12] Digital-Pioneer: sphery: :( Happen to be able to imagine a workaround?
[14:34:34] ** Digital-Pioneer is sick of editing configs in /usr that get lost on updates **
[14:34:53] sphery: Digital-Pioneer: so cp -a /usr/share/mythtv/themes/defaultmenu ~/.mythtv/ ; mv ~/.mythtv/{defaultmenu,Digital-Pioneer-Menu} ; then choose the new one in mythfrontend settings
[14:35:10] sphery: i.e. the defaultmenu name is th eproblem
[14:35:20] sphery: so you need a differently-named menu theme to put it in your home dir
[14:35:31] Digital-Pioneer: Will try.
[14:35:35] sphery: and thinking about it, I'd say it's not so much broken as a good idea
[14:35:49] sphery: so I'm glad it got broken that way--as defaultmenu is really meant to be a fallback
[14:35:57] Digital-Pioneer: Yeah, that looks quite sane to me.
[14:36:31] sphery: also, make sure you have http://svn.mythtv.org/trac/changeset/24036 or you'll need to make sure you have a complete menu theme

[14:42:03] Digital-Pioneer: Yea...
[14:42:51] Digital-Pioneer: So I copied defaultmenu to ~/.mythtv, renamed it, but the new name doesn't appear in the frontend's options for menu themes. :(
[14:45:54] sphery: ah, yeah, there's that... the theme selector doesn't look in those dirs...
[14:46:08] ** Digital-Pioneer laughs bitterly. :P **
[14:46:55] sphery: Choose DVR or classic or mediacentermenu and then rename the dir in ~/.mythtv to that
[14:47:11] sphery: guess you have to reuse the name of one that's there...
[14:47:26] sphery: I thought about fixing the theme selector, but decided it wasn't worth it since it's going away.

[14:50:24] christi_p: Hey all, I've quite an odd problem with hdmi sound output. I have an NVidia ION chip and want to get the sound via hdmi to the TV. That's why I chose "alsa:hdmi" in the general settings. It works fine with pure music but not at all with recordings and livetv. Does anyone have a hint what I have to do?
[14:51:50] Digital-Pioneer: sphery: Victory!!!! :D
[14:51:50] christi_p: When I'm opening a recording the terminal output says: Opening audio device 'hdmi', ch 6(2) sr 192000 (reenc 0)
[14:52:00] Digital-Pioneer: I put it in ~/.mythtv/themes/mediacentermenu
[14:52:28] christi_p: then: Opening ALSA audio device 'hdmi'. After that: Mixer unable to find control PCM2
[14:52:38] sphery: Digital-Pioneer: great... sorry for all the false steps in the process, but glad we've got it figured out. Feel free to document the process on the wiki.  :)
[14:53:05] Digital-Pioneer: sphery: I'm glad to do things correctly finally.
[14:53:42] Digital-Pioneer: Now how do you determine which package owns a given file with APT...? I'd like to fix all the xmls I screwed up and make sure everything is in ~/.mythtv now
[14:53:45] sphery: yeah, should make things much easier--and, like you, I would never let a user edit anything in /usr

[14:55:42] sphery: Digital-Pioneer: perhaps something on http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Menu_theme_development_guide

[14:58:44] sphery: johnnyj: hey, your xdg-screensaver patch was the right way--unfortunately, the distros/DE's don't get it

[15:00:21] sphery: I don't even know why a distro would install xdg-screensaver if it doesn't work with their broken screensaver
[15:00:35] johnnyj: isn't it part of xdg-utils?
[15:00:38] sphery: s/their/the user's chosen DEs/
[15:00:48] christi_p: What's really odd, too, is that sound via hdmi works with VLC, mplayer and mythmusic, but not with livetv, recordings and firefox (youtube videos)
[15:00:52] sphery: yeah, but you can choose to install/not install any script from it
[15:00:53] johnnyj: i assume there's something else in that package
[15:00:55] rah (rah!rah@myrtle.6gnip.net) has left #mythtv-users ("Ex-Chat")
[15:01:28] johnnyj: sphery: so do you just not know about this pginfo issue I'm working on ?
[15:01:37] sphery: christi_p: In that case, I don't have any ideas--other than to say make sure you're not using Pulse Audio
[15:01:41] johnnyj: or were you busy when I mentioned it?
[15:02:00] christi_p: I uninstalles pulseaudio, so this shouldn't be the problem
[15:02:17] sphery: johnnyj: I know that programinfo updates seem to be a mess right now, so I wasn't surprised, but I figured I wouldn't be much help.
[15:02:25] christi_p: Is it maybe possible to get the sound from myth to Jack and from Jack to the hdmi output?
[15:02:26] sphery: is it related to your dummy tuner config patch?
[15:02:37] johnnyj: unfortunately
[15:03:04] johnnyj: im stepping through tv_rec.cpp – I'm sure i'll find it
[15:03:24] sphery: Might be worth asking Captain M about it sometime when he's around. He wrote the dummy tuner code and he's most likely to know if there's an issue in it right now.
[15:04:32] johnnyj: well it works when you use MPEG as tuner type and have device starting with file: – so it's likely some workaround I've not discovered and modified to expect a tuner named DUMMY
[15:05:16] johnnyj: but I'll lurk around for Captain M and see, thanks

[15:07:47] christi_p: sorry for asking again: is it possible to get sound from myth to jack and from jack via hdmi to the TV?
[15:08:13] Helliana: My tv capture card went out, so i don't actually use the mythtv backend anymore but still use mythvideo and other plugins
[15:08:29] Helliana: however, i keep getting the "Could not connect to the backend server" message over and over every few seconds
[15:08:37] Helliana: is there any way to disable that message?
[15:09:04] johnnyj: Helliana – run a BE instance
[15:09:24] Helliana: johnnyj: how do i got about that?
[15:09:39] johnnyj: run the mythbackend
[15:09:52] ** sphery thinks users on the -users list are having issues understanding that if they want to use Flash in a 64-bit app, they need 64-bit Flash **
[15:10:41] Helliana: well.. i guess thats an easy enough fix
[15:11:00] sphery: Helliana: while MythTV used to support running mythfrontend without a running mythbackend, we've lost that support (and the developers who think it's important haven't noticed it, yet, so they haven't fixed it)
[15:11:10] sphery: so, yeah, run a mythbackend
[15:11:21] sphery: make sure you do the mythtv-setup to configure the backend first
[15:11:32] Wicked: hmm. do i have my terminology right...i have comcast cable..and im looking to get a tv card that can capture ota hd content(unencrypted of course)....i would want a card capable of ATSC?
[15:12:06] christi_p: sphery: you said I should check that no program uses pulseaudio. How can I check if ALSA is my default? (It should be the default since I put "ALSA:hdmi" in the settings, but I don't know how to definitely check that (I'm quite a n00b =D ))
[15:12:10] sphery: Wicked: yep, ATSC is the OTA in the US
[15:12:21] Wicked: thanks sphery. :)
[15:12:47] Helliana: sphery: thanks. Yah, i just updated and noticed the message didn't go away, use used to only display once when the frontend first loaded
[15:12:49] sphery: christi_p: you'd have to look at your ALSA configuration and your distro's underlying config. If you removed Pulse, that's probably not the issue.
[15:12:53] Helliana: no biggy though, simple fix.
[15:13:18] sphery: Helliana: yeah, if you'd like to do a patch to make it so it doesn't keep repeating, I'm sure a lot of people would be happy
[15:13:31] J-e-f-f-A: Wohoo... got one HD-PVR in, just ordered a 2nd one and a 2nd HD-HomeRun...  ;-) I'll be all set for my FiOS HD install... hehehehehe

[15:16:37] sphery: I thought it would be very helpful--even just for people playing with mythtv before deciding to set it up.
[15:17:02] Digital-Pioneer: sphery: Well, the wiki instructions were pretty reasonable, but they didn't (I think) properly stress the fact that you can't override defaultmenu, so I made some small mods to this: http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Menu_theme_develop . . . e#Setting_Up — just in case you're curious. :)
[15:17:18] sphery: though as someone whose dummy tuners aren't currently working, it would even be helpful for me :)

[15:17:52] sphery: looks good
[15:18:10] wagnerrp: Captain_Murdoch: what is the 'args' field in the jobqueue used for? i dont really see any purpose for it
[15:18:26] wagnerrp: as far as i can tell, its only used by mythtranscode to talk to itself
[15:18:55] christi_p: sphery: okay alsa is the default. the default device is hdmi. do you think an upgrade to the latest 0.24 could solve my problem?
[15:19:21] wagnerrp: there is no 0.24
[15:19:33] sphery: christi_p: I'm sure there's a way to fix it on 0.23-fixes--I just don't know that way (I don't use HDMI)
[15:19:50] sphery: You're more likely to find someone who can help on the mythtv-users mailing list
[15:20:49] christi_p: hm, okay, so I'll try to get help there... many thanks anyway!
[15:21:39] wagnerrp: are 'prebuffering pauses' actually a problem? or is that a case of us being more verbose than necessary and scaring people as a result?
[15:21:51] RyeBrye: talking about sound output? I use hdmi out and I think I have my audio out set to /dev/dsp or something but can't remember for sure
[15:22:09] christi_p: hm, one moment, I'll try that one
[15:22:12] wagnerrp: RyeBrye: you shouldnt
[15:22:21] wagnerrp: those are the old OSS outputs
[15:22:28] RyeBrye: I suppose I could check my settings table to see what it is I'm using :P
[15:22:29] wagnerrp: direct file access to the ADCs
[15:23:02] wagnerrp: 'cat' a file to them to get awful noise
[15:23:07] wagnerrp: or a wav to listen to it

[17:32:43] wagnerrp: ive considered it, and tinkered with it at home
[17:33:22] wagnerrp: these are all commodity compute nodes, not sure if we could burn it onto the ROMs
[17:33:25] AndyCap: haven't had any problems with 80MB images with tftp, but you're probably booting more than one machine at a time?
[17:33:34] wagnerrp: yeah, its the scaling issues
[17:33:43] wagnerrp: when bringing the cluster back online after a power outage
[17:33:57] wagnerrp: or to bring another rack online for increased load
[17:34:03] wagnerrp: we have to do it slowly
[17:34:04] AndyCap: wagnerrp: chainload, not replace the onboard rom

[17:35:00] mindjuju: so quick question on the proper setup, I was hoping that i could put the recording computer in the basement. It's a P4 with 1G ram and a pvr150 cap card. what i was hoping to do is have the recording computer transfer everything it records to a network drive where the rest of the family computers / etc, can pick it up and view it. at the same time though, i was hoping that the fmaily computers could interface with the recording computer and s
[17:35:04] mindjuju: is all that possible?
[17:35:08] AndyCap: wagnerrp: haha, ugly hack, use different timeouts in pxelinux config for the ip's or mac adresses.

[17:36:04] wagnerrp: AndyCap: theres no problem once its in pxelinux, it will just keep retrying until it gets the image
[17:36:14] wagnerrp: the problem is getting pxelinux in the first place
[17:36:22] AndyCap: wagnerrp: aha.
[17:36:44] wagnerrp: im assuming the load caused by all the initrd downloading means the onboard rom cant even pull pxelinux

[17:37:39] Kew: Hey, im having a problem with the "Play with trailers" option in mythvideo – it will not start :( But the "Play trailer" option is working, any clues?
[17:37:40] phamilton: make sure it's a wired network though
[17:37:49] mindjuju: so phamilton, do i need to have the full blown mythbuntu running, or is there a server install
[17:37:55] mindjuju: phamilton, it's wired
[17:37:59] wagnerrp: mindjuju: you cant either record to the P4, or otherwise put the PVR-150 in the existing home server?
[17:38:08] mindjuju: have xbmc and comps distributed throughout the house
[17:38:25] wagnerrp: AndyCap: thats my completely unbased assumption
[17:38:58] AndyCap: wagnerrp: I would try gpxelinux and use http.
[17:39:02] Kew: I have searched the web endless, with no result :(
[17:39:04] mindjuju: wagnerrp, i wanted to keep the family file server seperate from this, so to answer your qustion, i could
[17:39:28] mindjuju: i'm just reading now about xbmc and mythtv, looks like they are already connected
[17:39:31] wagnerrp: mindjuju: basically, if you have one server already, no reason to run a second (assuming the existing server runs linux)
[17:39:41] wagnerrp: xbmc and mythtv are in no way connected

[17:39:59] mindjuju: what about performance though when recording a show and playing back a show on a seperate device
[17:40:07] wagnerrp: xbmc has a plugin designed to use said protocol
[17:40:24] mindjuju: wagnerrp, sorry, let me clarify, yup, that's what i meant, they aren't connected as software, but they can be used together
[17:40:26] mindjuju: that's what i meant
[17:40:29] mindjuju: sorry for confusion
[17:40:35] Kew: I am running a mythbuntu install. Using a backend with frontends setup. So Im using Storage Groups for the trailers etc.

[17:40:54] wagnerrp: recordings with a PVR-150 are trivial, its basically a 500KB/s copy to disk
[17:41:18] Kew: Any1? :((
[17:41:26] phamilton: mindjuju: that works fine either through mythfrontend, or mythweb will stream it through .asx files, and vlc will recognize UPnP as well.. there are plenty of ways to get access to recordings
[17:41:27] wagnerrp: similarly, such a low bitrate transfer across the network is trivial for any 486 or better
[17:41:28] mindjuju: hmm, so playback and recording at same time should be no prob then
[17:41:34] wagnerrp: no, not at all
[17:41:50] wagnerrp: now if you had a framegrabber instead of an mpeg encoder, that would be different
[17:42:23] wagnerrp: mindjuju: do these machines you have scattered around the house run linux?
[17:42:55] mindjuju: fileserver is ubuntu 8.04LTS, 2 winders xp and 3 xbmc (on Xboxes)
[17:43:03] wagnerrp: eew... xbox
[17:43:18] fru: is there a plugin/cgi/module for mythweb that will drop me to a shell on the backend?
[17:43:24] wagnerrp: no one wants to run on those these days, neither mythtv nor xbmc
[17:43:32] mindjuju: they make good dual purpose, play xbox games AND watch movies
[17:43:32] wagnerrp: fru: no
[17:43:38] fru: I am using lighttpd
[17:43:43] fru: darn
[17:43:51] wagnerrp: old games and standard definition mpeg2 or mjpeg movies
[17:44:02] mindjuju: but ya, i noticed that xbmc has ported to every OS now
[17:44:13] phamilton: anyway... i've got a question of my own. Does anyone know how to tell mythtv that the IPTV signal is not MPEG2. It's MPEG4 and mythfrontend keeps crashing
[17:44:28] Kew: Anyone who can confirm if the "Play with trailers" option is working under 0.23??
[17:44:36] wagnerrp: phamilton: mythtv shouldnt care
[17:44:48] iamlindoro: Yes, play with trailers works fine, used it yesterday
[17:44:48] wagnerrp: Kew: it should work, assuming you have a trailer defined for that movie
[17:45:00] iamlindoro: He means the randomized trailer playback-- works fine
[17:45:09] phamilton: yet it keeps creating .mpg files for the recording
[17:45:13] Kew: wagnerrp: The "Play trailer" option is working, but not the "Play with trailers". :(
[17:45:22] wagnerrp: phamilton: thats because they are mpeg files
[17:46:32] Kew: I really cant get the hang of this, espac. because the "Play trailer" is working just fine...
[17:46:40] wagnerrp: phamilton: mpeg2ts is used almost everywhere you have broadcast digital video, regardless of what kind of content is muxed in
[17:47:33] wagnerrp: dvb/atsc use it, most iptv use it, dvd, hddvd, and bluray all use some variant of it
[17:48:07] wagnerrp: mp4 is rarely used outside of video downloads

[19:39:24] wagnerrp: a QAM card
[19:39:39] Wicked: maybe im wrong.
[19:39:53] Wicked: i was looking at either hdhr or the pchdtv hd5500
[19:40:04] Wicked: which i thought where qam capable cards

[20:02:26] wagnerrp: the official HDHR quicktv application would see the first tuner in use and locked, and use the second
[20:02:28] Wicked: *i had no idea how it would work
[20:02:37] wagnerrp: mythtv would just find the tuner locked, and fail to record
[20:02:43] Wicked: ah
[20:02:59] Wicked: so technically it can do what i want...just mythtv wont play nice with it
[20:03:22] wagnerrp: correct
[20:03:35] Wicked: thanks for clearing that up for me :)
[20:03:50] wagnerrp: its the same thing with using a cable box at the same time mythtv is trying to use it for analog or firewire capture

[23:02:18] sphery: psm321: you should really remove them. on the bright side, removing capture cards will not affect channels or video sources, so it's really easy to re-add them later.
[23:02:45] sphery: if you want to disable all of them, though, just start mythbackend with the --nosched argument (check --help, but I think that's it)

[23:20:28] psm321: what i really should do is go through and figure out which channels are encrypted now (its not quite all of them) and remove the others
[23:20:49] psm321: well what i really should do is cancel comcast, but i dont know if i can bring myself to do that :)

[23:23:53] wagnerrp: yes

[23:37:17] wagnerrp: comcast is run by a number of independent franchises
[23:37:21] psm321: kc: looks like it happened all at once for me. except i still have the same channels that are still in analog also on clear qam
[23:37:34] wagnerrp: each franchise has to apply for their own waiver to enable privacy mode on the DTAs
[23:38:41] psm321: wagnerrp: are you sure about that? i never heard that before
[23:38:45] kc: wagnerrp: right, they need to apply per franchise, but eventually they will all be encrypted
[23:38:53] kc: I have no doubt in that
[23:40:15] kc: psm321: re: all at once. Yea, I could get most standard def channels via clear qam. One day they encrypted all but the locals (and travel channel for some reason)

[23:52:34] Kazan: that would be epic sweet

[23:53:42] wagnerrp: cablelabs would never authorize even binary drivers for linux
[23:54:05] wagnerrp: because there is no mechanism to have a secure video transfer to the video output in linux
[23:54:35] wagnerrp: which only leaves reverse engineering
[23:55:14] wagnerrp: anyone who would actually stand to gain from such tech, also lives in a country where developing and releasing such drivers bring criminal charges
