jheizer: if you can go for a micro-atx board, you'll have oodles to choose from

[00:00:13]

jheizer:

any size board

[00:00:16]

jheizer:

can even do atx

[00:00:29]

jheizer:

was just trying to find a low power quiet option

[00:00:30]

bcgrown:

then what's the problem? there are tons that still have pci slots

[00:00:39]

jheizer:

no real problem

[00:00:46]

jheizer:

just was asking about the C7 mostly

[00:00:55]

bcgrown:

jheizer: i was looking for the same thing, but i decided i needed more horsepower and i'm glad i went with a core 2 duo

[00:01:18]

bcgrown:

but then, i am running a combined backend+frontend, and it serves up to two other frontends at the same time

[00:01:50]

jheizer:

runs great now just pxebooting

[00:02:00]

jheizer:

and the once a week maybe it records over samba to MBE

[00:02:53]

jheizer:

just getting to the point I have too much junk running and trying to down size when possible

jheizer:

like most people here I have a lot more computer than people in the house

[00:03:29]

wagnerrp:

to be completely honest... a combined fe/be you really dont want an under-performing box (VIA/Atom) and a dedicated fe, you can just put into standby so power consumption isnt a big issue

[00:04:17]

jheizer:

I really need to get standby/reuse working from remotes

[00:04:38]

jheizer:

that box uses the tuner ir so can't, but ok as it gets used alot anyway

[00:04:55]

[R]:

i need to hack together a script that lets me goto sleep AND is able to wake up my nfs server

[00:04:55]

jheizer:

just started up an old laptop fe this week

[00:04:59]

[R]:

that would be quite extreme

[00:05:04]

wagnerrp:

lets see.... right now there are seven computers online/standby, another two offline but used frequently, and another five built but rarely used

[00:05:08]

wagnerrp:

for four people

[00:05:09]

jheizer:

have to figure out if it can even resume from usb

[00:05:41]

wagnerrp:

not including game systems, pdas... make that 8 online, including my embedded firewall

[00:05:55]

jheizer:

crazy isn't it

[00:05:57]

[R]:

whatever happened to sally struthers? i loved those commericals wehn i was a kid about getting your degree by mail

[00:06:10]

[R]:

jheizer:

me – smoothwall, server, 4 myth, 2 desktops, 2 laptops, then other "optionals" like carpc

[00:06:49]

jheizer:

2 people

[00:08:04]

jheizer:

poor server is an atom330 and works its butt off, mysql, apache, netboot for 3 frontends, backups, etc at least runs off a raptor

jheizer, it would work harder if it was a frontend for hd content.... my opteron 2.4ghz dual core uses 1.25 cpus to display hd content and it has an nvidia fx1400 video card.

that 1400 isnt doing you any good

[00:11:57]

[R]:

your graphics card ain't gonna do crap if you are using software decoding

[00:11:58]

bcgrown:

jamesd_: don't know where the 1400 ranks, but my C2D uses <10% CPU for HD. GPU is an 8400GS

wagnerrp:

the FX1400 is probably somewhere between a 8500 and 8600

[00:12:44]

jheizer:

my main FE now is Athlon 64 X2 5400+ 3.1ghz with onboard 7050 graphics

[00:12:56]

jheizer:

can't say I have top with doing hdpvr yet

[00:13:12]

jamesd_:

bcgrown-away, its an older workstation class nvidia card only 128MB of ram...

[00:13:54]

wagnerrp:

skimpy for a 6-series card

jamesd_:

its on my list of things to upgrade... want something with 256MB of memory and more processing power

[00:14:26]

wagnerrp:

only 256?

[00:14:52]

wagnerrp:

256MB was the common capacity for cards of that series

[00:15:01]

jamesd_:

its not a gamer box.. looking to spend about $50-$75... tops..

[00:15:27]

wagnerrp:

my 512MB 9800GT was only $100 about a year ago

[00:15:34]

jamesd_:

just need to play 1080i tv shows...

[00:15:53]

jheizer:

OT why does AMD have to make their proc names so confusing, 64X2 vs III X2 vs X2

[00:16:04]

jheizer:

*II X2

[00:16:27]

wagnerrp:

Athlon II is their current budget line, Phenom II is their performance line

[00:16:32]

wagnerrp:

Xn is the processor count

[00:16:40]

jamesd_:

no idea just wish they would do a faster chip for the 939 socket... my $5000 sun ultra 20 needs some love

[00:16:57]

wagnerrp:

Phenom, Athlon, 64... all older discontinued brands

[00:17:11]

jheizer:

yeah, just have to pay attention and read good

[00:18:09]

jamesd_:

Dual Core AMD Opteron(tm) Processor 180

[00:18:41]

wagnerrp:

mythtv.org recently bumped up to a pair of 285s

[00:18:48]

wagnerrp:

theyre still available, if you know where to look

[00:20:30]

jamesd_:

wagnerrp, yeah i saw them, but they want an arm and a leg for them... it would be cheaper to replace the box than buy one or close too it.

[00:20:45]

wagnerrp:

same goes for memory

[00:20:49]

wagnerrp:

DDR1 is expensive

[00:22:16]

jamesd_:

i have the full 4GB of ram on board.. the box was a bonus for doing a project for Sun.

[00:24:56]

jheizer:

hmm, 45watt sempron

[00:25:07]

jheizer:

wonder how that would do with a decent vid card

[00:25:27]

wagnerrp:

they still make semprons?

[00:25:36]

jheizer:

AM3 socket

[00:25:50]

jheizer:

I was surprised as well

[00:25:53]

wagnerrp:

better off gettting a proper 45W Regor

jheizer:

[00:26:49]

npm:

wonders if http://www.igep-platform.com/index.php?option . . . mp;Itemid=55 makes a front-end

[00:27:24]

wagnerrp:

this same processor is sold in a 45W version... http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819103687

[00:27:41]

wagnerrp:

its the same physical processor, just binned separately

[00:27:58]

wagnerrp:

you should be able to undervolt it pretty low

[00:28:12]

jheizer:

was just looking at that one

[00:28:28]

wagnerrp:

or you can try to pick one up elsewhere

[00:28:37]

jamesd_:

damm hide the credit card!!!... untill i get a job

[00:28:50]

the 245e is somewhat rare, all the OEMs are gobbling them up

[R]:

wagnerrp:

oh... 3mpg at 250mph

[00:38:49]

[R]:

yeah

[00:39:02]

wagnerrp:

dont worry, youll blow the tires before you run out of gas

[00:39:14]

[R]:

they talked about how the tires are super special

[00:39:17]

[R]:

and SUPER expensive

[00:39:27]

wagnerrp:

at 1000hp, you get like 16–20mi out of those tires

[00:40:02]

[R]:

i think they said like 12 minutes or something before you run out of gas

[00:40:08]

[R]:

maybe it was 20

[00:40:14]

wagnerrp:

miles

[00:40:21]

[R]:

no, it waas minutes

[00:40:32]

wagnerrp:

so like 4–5 minutes of tire life

[00:41:59]

wagnerrp:

well regardless, its 'not much'

[00:42:03]

[R]:

lol

[00:42:56]

wagnerrp:

i like how you have to stop the car, get out, and lock the spoiler in order to hit top speed

[00:44:28]

[R]:

i need to stop being so lazy and get suspend to work on my frontend

[00:44:35]

[R]:

but in the end i wonder if i'm actually going to save a decent amount of time

[00:48:02]

jheizer:

may order this C7 board just to try anyway

[00:48:10]

jheizer:

and if it really really sucks

[00:48:19]

jheizer:

will swap it into my router box

lucas_:

just making sure

[01:03:01]

lucas_:

the v4l-dvb driver is actually part of the kernel?

[01:03:12]

wagnerrp:

yes

[01:03:23]

lucas_:

so, by grabbing the mercurial repo, and building it, I'm basically building a new, untested part of the kernel

[01:03:48]

wagnerrp:

no, by grabbing the mercurial repo and building it, you are building external kernel modules

[01:03:50]

[R]:

omg, how freakin amazing is that

[01:03:50]

lucas_:

and what I really should be doing to keep it all from conflicting / kernel-panicking with bttv and other parts, is grabbing the rest

[01:04:03]

[R]:

wagnerrp: first suspend wakes up after 3 seconds, 2nd suspend works... 3rd suspend wakes up after 3 seocnds, 4th suspend works

[01:04:16]

wagnerrp:

most of the v4l-dvb stuff is inside the main kernel release

[01:04:29]

wagnerrp:

only new support and bugfixes are in the repo

[01:05:50]

lucas_:

so, if I want to do this 'the right way', should I download the kernel source, copy new v4l-dvb changes grabbed via hg directly in, and build / install v4l-dvb?

[01:06:17]

wagnerrp:

you need a source tree and kernel config to build against

[01:06:25]

wagnerrp:

but you keep the mercurial repo separate from it

I installed 10.04 on mine, haven't had many problems.

I did have to undo a bunch of the new defaults on it though

justdave:

disable the powersave was, yes, one of them

[03:03:28]

martin_:

I just upgraded to mythbuntu 10.04 and the reusult was not too encouraging. No problem with the backend, but my livingroom frontend now has a striped image (pal tv out on an ati card) and my bedroom frontend (4g powermac with integrated screen) just outputs white noise

I had to rebuild vino from a source package.

[03:05:04]

justdave:

they built it to use the gnome keychain for the vnc server password

[03:05:18]

justdave:

which means it prompts the user for the keychain password when they log in so it can unlock it.

[03:05:32]

justdave:

of course, if nobody's there to do that, you're screwed.

[03:05:54]

justdave:

it's a compile-time option which is off by default, and they decided to enable it.

[03:06:11]

justdave:

just had to remove that option from the configure command line in the debian/rules file and rebuild it

[03:07:13]

justdave:

getting a password prompt pop up in front of mythfrontend after rebooting the machine, that you can't enter a password into with a remote, is a little annoying. :)

mythbuntu control center is an app that does install/remove of mythtv-related components in mythbuntu

[04:28:13]

2. on all analog channels audio is out of sync, for 500 msec, and I have to manually set this every time I tune

[04:28:27]

justdave:

personally, I don't think it has any settings file

[04:28:35]

everything it does is related to some other service on the box

3. extreme ghosting, at a certain moment it seems like a certain loop of video becomes sort of embedded ghosted...

[04:28:53]

it can tell what's selected by looking at the package list and seeing what's installed

lapion:

Can I have the tv-frontend active while the card will be recording from the same deivce ?

[07:10:40]

justinh:

if you watch live tv it IS recording

[07:11:06]

justinh:

that is to say, while you 'watch tv' in mythtv, it is being recorded & you are watching what is being recorded

[07:11:56]

Jay2k1:

which is cool because if you missed, let's say, an important goal while watching soccer, you can rewind

[07:11:56]

lapion:

I had it active while beign away, however I could not rewind all the way to the beginnign

[07:12:27]

lapion:

even though I even scheduled a recording..

[07:13:44]

lapion:

I had it in that mode, because for some reason mythtv will not autodetect correctly that all tv transmissions are progressive

[07:14:17]

lapion:

and because I have to set the audio delay by 500ms/or

[07:15:10]

lapion:

jamesd_,

[07:15:24]

lapion:

Jay2k1, and justinh any ideas ?

[07:15:46]

Jay2k1:

unfortunately not

[07:16:13]

Jay2k1:

i never tried to rewind livetv that far back, but neither do i have problems with progressive transmissions

[07:16:35]

lapion:

can I turn off the frontend ?

[07:17:07]

lapion:

I get flicking video if I do not set progressive

[07:18:03]

Jay2k1:

you can exit the frontend if you mean that

[07:18:57]

lapion:

Jay2k1, so only the backend will be running ?

[07:19:02]

Jay2k1:

yes

[07:19:15]

Jay2k1:

i'm using mythwelcome, that's like a status screen for a myth machine

[07:19:25]

Jay2k1:

says if it is recording, what's next to be recorded

[07:19:30]

Jay2k1:

and it has a button "start frontend"

[07:19:46]

Jay2k1:

my machine is set to auto shutdown after 60 seconds idle when the FE is not running

[07:20:44]

lapion:

thabnks, off to work..

[07:21:12]

clever:

lapion: if your having to set the audio delay to 500ms, it sounds like you might be doing something very wrong

[07:26:14]

justinh:

like using pulseaudio ;-)

[07:26:35]

** justinh wishes PA would go die in a fire **

[07:27:09]

it could also be that he isnt even routing the audio thru myth

I was wondering if there is anyway to simplfy the record choices in mythtv. I am trying to move from win 7 mc to mythtv but I am likely to achieve this with complex options

[08:03:18]

zaprat:

available for record

At it simplest I am looking for record now, record series and dont record, cancel series and cancel recording

[08:04:31]

lucas_:

I am also trying to move from win 7 mc to mythtv

[08:05:01]

lucas_:

bought a $100 card recommended by this channel only to find that the sound doesn't work and that mythtv does some very, very strange things by default

[08:05:23]

zaprat:

check the drivers

[08:05:40]

lucas_:

yeah, I already rebuilt them as per the wiki, which is basically the only documentation available

[08:06:08]

lucas_:

kernel-panicked at least twice, had to remove a bt878 card also included in the machine because the two drivers can't coexist

would they be realtek HD?

zaprat:

I have a hvr-2200 (almost) which worked out the box after I download the fw drivers

[08:08:17]

lucas_:

except no analog MPEG encoder, right? so you're kinda SOL if you want to actually watch TV provided by your cable subscription

[08:08:39]

zaprat:

Although I had to muck around with Upstart on the backend to delay the start of te he start of backend until the firmware was loaded

[08:10:15]

zaprat:

MPEG encode would be nice but I intend to steal the pvr150mce from windowhgs 7 machine as soon I gather the strength to lift if out of the cupboard

[08:11:04]

zaprat:

top shelf with 4 harddrives and solid case makes lifting a chore

[08:11:16]

lucas_:

what seems really bizarre to me besides the lack of mouse pointer, or the amazingly bad UI, or the graphics glitches that make it impossible to tell which menu item you're selecting, or any of a billion other things

[08:11:44]

lucas_:

is the way MythTV records live TV to your drive, but then forgets to clean up after you change the channel

[08:12:09]

lucas_:

that's going to fill up any drive rather quickly I'd guess

[08:13:20]

zaprat:

so If get this, if you watch tv and it saves to the buffer and then change channels the buffer files is left indefinitely

[08:13:56]

lucas_:

yeah, doesn't make any sense at all

[08:14:07]

lucas_:

I'd say it's a configuration problem but this is out-of-the-box

[08:14:30]

zaprat:

did you use a mythbuntu build?

[08:14:34]

lucas_:

anywhere you ask for support, the answer is 'well, we don't have any obligation to make our product not suck'

[08:14:59]

lucas_:

anywhere you look elsewhere on the internet, the unison is 'Linux is flawless in every way imaginable and if you disagree you're a M$ shill'

[08:15:36]

lucas_:

either way, looks like I'm out $100

[08:15:41]

I use win 7 mc and my family loves it as a media center

[08:15:52]

It will take a lot to shift them off it

but I like open source and i was checking if myth had made any improvements since I last used it. The answer is yes and no

[08:18:00]

zaprat:

the UI is better with the new themes but its still overkilll

[08:18:03]

lucas_:

it's hard to imagine this being any worse

[08:18:35]

zaprat:

dont be to hard on it. it is lot better than 12 months ago

[08:19:22]

zaprat:

this time it only took me 1 hour to get working from scratch, last time I tried about 12 months it took me 3 days

[08:20:05]

lucas_:

ha

[08:20:08]

GreyFoxx:

lucas: Myth cleans up the files after 24 hours OR if space is neededfor another recording

[08:20:10]

lucas_:

frontend hard-locked

[08:20:29]

GreyFoxx:

the interface was designed to be used with a remote, not a mouse so the mouse was never considerd. It was not intended as a "desktop app"

[08:20:38]

lucas_:

but the cap card is still displaying video to the window, so it's simply in black-and-white to indicate it's locked

[08:20:44]

GreyFoxx:

BUT as more and more is ported to mythui more and more is mouse capable

[08:21:01]

zaprat:

have you got sleep working yet. Last time I tried it was flaky, I am not sure I want to bother with it this time'

[08:21:18]

GreyFoxx:

If you can't tell what item you have selected that sounds like a theme issue (missing highlight image or something)

[08:21:40]

zaprat:

10 foot app

[08:22:11]

lucas_:

no, GreyFoxx, the window display is glitched. sometimes things will appear out of nowhere for no reason, sometimes the menu isn't redrawn properly over the video

[08:22:12]

GreyFoxx:

The "livetv" stuff doesn't sit around forever unless you manually dick around with the database

[08:22:29]

zaprat:

note myth needs 2 themes one for the gui, the other for the overlays

[08:22:31]

lucas_:

think like an awful ATI driver with most Qt windows

[08:23:00]

lucas_:

this theme is out-of-the-box, I simply grabbed the Fedora RPM off of yum via RPMFusion

[08:23:02]

zaprat:

NVIDIA man

[08:23:10]

zaprat:

for linux

[08:23:27]

GreyFoxx:

lucas: Only time I've ever seen what you describe is when I had a bad video driver version for 1 of my cards. And only on that card. "rebooting" cleared it up but a week later it would happen again. A new driver versions "fixed" it

[08:23:30]

zaprat:

ATI for windows (assuming you have chosen your driver wisely)

[08:24:34]

lucas_:

I guess I should mention I'm using an Nvidia card on this computer

[08:24:54]

zaprat:

the latest nvidia driver seems stable to me

[08:25:18]

GreyFoxx:

I haven't updated the drivers on mine in about 4 months now since I haven

[08:25:30]

GreyFoxx:

t had any reason too. I imagine there is likely a new version out now

[08:26:19]

zaprat:

I havent tried to much hd content yet so I should hold judgement of the latest driver till then

[08:26:48]

zaprat:

but SD is fined

[08:27:36]

GreyFoxx:

up until a couple months ago 99% of my content was HD. But I didn't want to keep paying the bill so I dropped my HD service . Switching to a sat service that comes with more HD channels and is half the price every month which I'll capture with an HDPVR

[08:27:41]

zaprat:

My understanding is the blue ray is not working yet, is my understanding correct

[08:27:44]

martin_ (martin_!~quassel@static-88.131.29.2.addr.tdcsong.se) has left #mythtv-users ("http://quassel-irc.org - Chat comfortably. Anywhere.")

[08:28:02]

GreyFoxx:

zap: Yes, there is no feature complete linux based bluray decryption library

[08:28:10]

GreyFoxx:

so you'd have to rip/decrypt it first

[08:28:15]

GreyFoxx:

but after that myth will play it

[08:28:39]

zaprat:

given this open source, what will DRM mean to HD content

[08:28:42]

zaprat:

on myth

[08:28:57]

GreyFoxx:

You have to be more specific with your question :)

[08:31:03]

zaprat:

Ok, my understanding that the latest blue ray h/w will enforce DRM and soon the disc will to. This enforcement will mean that unless all items in the chain are DRM compliant (including OS) the output will be slated to SD only

[08:31:50]

zaprat:

I have also heard there is discussion to disable component out and limit it to HDMI only

[08:32:45]

zaprat:

is my understanding correct?

[08:33:13]

GreyFoxx:

As long as any part of that chain is done in software then it is optional

[08:33:41]

GreyFoxx:

the "downgrading" to SD would require the bluray drive to actually decode and reencode the video which isn't gonna happenm

[08:34:11]

GreyFoxx:

Now a full on bluray player might very well do that if HDCP requirements are not satisfied.... but that's a different beast

[08:35:00]

zaprat:

I may do some more reading for interest sake wikipedia is my friend.

[08:35:02]

GreyFoxx:

and yeah in some cases in the US some prividers are looking to disable component but only on the ondemand movies and such which are still in theature and not available on disk. So far they are not planning/allowed for other content

[08:35:14]

GreyFoxx:

But even that is easily gotten around

[08:35:37]

zaprat:

I heard some comment on this entertainment 2.0 podcast

[08:36:33]

It wont effect me as wife is limiting me to SD only as she is not interested in new tv.

on the topic of myth, what is the best theme for SD 4x3 tv

dunno I use the same wide theme on everything, including my older 4x3 tv's in other rooms

[08:41:45]

I tried a few but either the text is cutoff or it only suitable for widescreen

i only have 4 keys working on irw

and currently the video doesn't look right, the sound doesn't work at all, the frontend UI is seriously messed up

[10:02:25]

[10:02:37]

lucas_:

jerky. very, very jerky

[10:02:38]

justinh:

que?

[10:02:53]

lucas_:

only about 60% of the actual video stream is shown

[10:03:02]

justinh:

oh ATI graphics

[10:03:06]

lucas_:

nope. Nvidia

[10:03:16]

justinh:

without the proper drivers installed?

[10:03:18]

lucas_:

mythfrontend has crashed at least once

[10:03:24]

iamlindoro:

Broken signal

[10:03:31]

lucas_:

Nvidia's proprietary drivers are installed, from RPMFusion via yum

[10:03:39]

lucas_:

should mention, I'm using Fedora

[10:03:46]

justinh:

ahhh. Wrong distro

[10:03:51]

lucas_:

the latest v4l drivers are in... god damnit

[10:04:00]

iamlindoro:

lucas_, channel language rules

[10:04:00]

justinh:

I mean wrong distro for me to be able to (er want to) help

[10:05:06]

iamlindoro:

You an post frontend logs to a pastebin if you like, but in all liklihood they will reveal one of two things: Damaged stream from poor signal (this is if your description is accurate) or using the incorrect playback profile (if your description is sort-of accurate)

[10:05:47]

iamlindoro:

If you are seeing only some of the video and the rest macroblocks and breaks up before showing back up, that's broken signal-- if you're seeing all of the video but it pauses a lot, that's wrong playback profile or inadequate hardware

like I said. wth is 'seriously messed up' ?

[10:06:45]

lucas_:

the edges are cut off

[10:07:14]

lucas_:

playback is otherwise smooth. some channels are in black-and-white, some channels are rather ... off, as if the channel frequency list isn't right

[10:07:24]

justinh:

ah analogue. yuck

[10:07:28]

lucas_:

audio not working at all.

[10:07:43]

justinh:

you've not read the docs about how you're meant to set up audio

[10:07:45]

lucas_:

yeah, analog. I have digital cable, most of the channels come in encrypted, some of them are in analog

[10:08:02]

iamlindoro:

What capture card is this?

[10:08:08]

lucas_:

the docs tell me to remove and install the module over and over again until the sound comes on, and oh god I wish I were kidding

Hauppauge HVR-1600

[10:08:20]

justinh:

ah

[10:08:21]

justinh:

oops

[10:08:38]

justinh:

the one where analogue capture isn't quite working yet? or is that something else?

[10:08:44]

iamlindoro:

That's the 1800

[10:08:47]

iamlindoro:

1600 is fine

[10:09:06]

iamlindoro:

Could be a combination of things, all of which are user configuration issues

[10:09:22]

iamlindoro:

no sound is either incorrect capture card setup or you just haven't configured sound properly in mythfrontend

[10:09:38]

justinh:

btw got linux working on my joggler today

[10:09:45]

iamlindoro:

blakc and white/screwy video is almost definitely having scanned for channels (bad) and/or used the wrong frequency table

I've used the service that was set up after everyone pissed off Zap2it with annoying demands

they disappeared

Not exactly

[10:11:14]

ah. successful mythbuntu install tip- find a virgin, one who owns a computer. take the HDD out of the computer & spray it with the blood of said virgin

my guess: GL before, QPainter now

[10:28:51]

lucas_:

unless you mean there's some profile setting within mythtv that I haven't found yet

[10:28:53]

justinh:

there's some secret incantation you can use to make mythtv coexist with the junk they call compiz

[10:29:15]

justinh:

just disable compiz. it's not worth giving up the gl painter in mythfrontend

[10:29:54]

clever:

lucas_: mythtv itself has a gl painter option, and if you use it at the same time as compiz, the screen just becomes totaly garbled

I asked before but no one answered – here goes again: Can anyone help me understand why the scheduler is picking a non-HD show over an HD show? It chooses the Weeds in HD at 9:30pm (correctly), but Weeds in SD at 9:00pm (incorrectly) – any idea why?

[10:54:11]

wagnerrp:

the two shows are of equal priority, so it picks the first

[10:54:36]

I don't think they are – the hd channel has a priority of 0 and the sd channel has a priority of -1

[11:25:07]

iamlindoro:

No, his sound is not broken

[11:25:14]

iamlindoro:

Again, your sound issue is a configuration issue

[11:25:35]

iamlindoro:

Either you have the capture device improperly set up, or you have not properly configured frontend sound settings

[11:25:37]

lucas_:

yeah I'm sure it is

[11:25:50]

lucas_:

what more exactly do you want me to do?

[11:26:28]

iamlindoro:

You could try playing a recording in a "known working" player on your system and see if you get audio

[11:26:28]

lucas_:

there's no sound options anywhere in mythtvsetup as I'm using ivtv capture, the bitrate is 224kbps on all platforms as advised

[11:26:43]

lucas_:

I'm not aware of any other 'known working' players

[11:26:57]

iamlindoro:

do you get audio if you play a video in mplayer?

[11:27:52]

lucas_:

how exactly would I do that? mplayer tv://4?

[11:27:59]

iamlindoro:

Not tv, a video

[11:28:08]

iamlindoro:

a regular, plain old video that you know has an audio track

[11:28:24]

lucas_:

yes, my sound system is working

[11:28:27]

iamlindoro:

If that has audio, then play use mplayer to play back a recording made in myth

[11:28:35]

iamlindoro:

If that has audio, then it's not capture card setup

[11:28:48]

iamlindoro:

And it's just that you have not properly configured audio in mythfrontend

[11:29:09]

lucas_:

I'm playing back some live TV dumped into the video directory I made. no audio

[11:29:28]

lucas_:

this was, however, recorded by mythbackend itself

[11:29:34]

iamlindoro:

Then you have a capture card misconfiguration or a driver issue

[11:29:52]

lucas_:

yeah: 'the driver's broken'

[11:30:10]

lucas_:

which is why I ask again

[11:30:11]

iamlindoro:

There are plenty of people happily using their HVR-1600's, though, so I wouldn't be so quick to blame the driver

[11:30:16]

lucas_:

is his audio working?

[11:30:20]

iamlindoro:

Yes, his audio is working

[11:30:29]

iamlindoro:

please try to maintain some courtesy

[11:30:41]

iamlindoro:

You are getting free help, you could at least make it pleasant to give it

[11:31:01]

lucas_:

'you're to blame and you're making me angry'

[11:31:29]

iamlindoro:

Yes, that's exactly the kind of attitude you should refrain from having

[11:31:57]

lucas_:

well, you started it by repeating 'YOU DIDN'T SET UP EVERYTHING RIGHT YOU NAUGHTY NAUGHTY BOY' about a hundred times

[11:32:12]

iamlindoro:

"started" what? Giving you explicit help?

[11:32:22]

lucas_:

you assume the user's a moron.

[11:32:38]

iamlindoro:

In all liklihood, you *didn't* set something up right. I've now helped you determine more accurately where the problem lies

[11:32:43]

lucas_:

that's a common theme in basically all Linux support channels, whether via IRC, message boards, mailing lists...

[11:32:50]

wagnerrp:

no, we assume this is complex stuff, and its easy to get wrong if you miss something

[11:32:52]

** jams grows tired of this bickering **

[11:33:57]

iamlindoro:

Anyway, if you feel you're better off on your own, best of luck with that

[11:34:14]

lucas_:

I don't, which is why I'm still here

[11:34:59]

iamlindoro:

Then maybe you could try being a little less confrontational?

Nobody here kidnapped you and held you at gunpoint while you purchased the card-- it's a perfectly viable capture option in myth, but ultimately we need to take responsibility for our own setups

wagnerrp, that GetVideo uses the upnpmedia table, not videometadata

yeah, it is, that's what is so frustrating

What physical connections are you using to capture video?

mcl0vin: K, good luck, hope you like it

[11:37:45]

lucas_:

just a coax cable into the analog port. no internal bridge audio cable, like the old bt878. plugged into a PCI bus

[11:37:46]

sphery:

Captain_Murdoch: will the upnpmedia table go away with your recording/video convergence patch?

[11:37:49]

Captain_Murdoch:

would be trivial to modify that to take a filename and use the SG code to find the filename and serve that up.

[11:38:08]

Captain_Murdoch:

sphery, I hope so, but haven't looked at it at all.

[11:38:12]

sphery:

cool

[11:38:35]

lucas_:

any idea why kernel module cx18_alsa is reported as in use (and therefore unremovable)? ps ax | grep myth doesn't turn up anything

[11:39:02]

mcl0vin:

iamlindoro: i really don't know what to do

[11:39:18]

iamlindoro:

mcl0vin: Well sounds like you've decided what you want to do, and we support you

[11:39:24]

highzeth:

lucas_: lsmod |grep cx18 would make more sense to find out what other module depend on it

[11:39:44]

iamlindoro:

mcl0vin: Though I suspect you hoped that making such a statement would result in us falling all over ourselves to fix things for you-- we're just not that kind of group ;)

[11:39:47]

lucas_:

no modules depend on cx18_alsa

[11:40:33]

highzeth:

modinfo cx18_alsa agree on that?

[11:41:22]

mcl0vin:

iamlindoro: no true

[11:41:31]

iamlindoro:

mcl0vin: Cool.

[11:41:38]

nope

[11:42:11]

it has dependencies to cx18, snd and snd-pcm

[11:42:12]

mcl0vin:

i am just frustrated

[11:42:15]

afet i spent my money on the card and memory and hdd

[11:43:03]

sphery:

mcl0vin: that's what happens when you choose to use a luxury DVR (MythTV) instead of going with a commercial-off-the-shelf DVR--it costs more money

[11:43:14]

highzeth:

lucas_: if it has dependencies to other modules, it 'depends' on it, ie, they are loaded and you cant remove it till they are

[11:43:21]

sphery:

and if you end up not using it, you buy both

[11:43:32]

sphery: hehehe see am not that good in linux like you

[11:44:41]

sphery:

practice makes perfect :)

[11:45:06]

lucas_:

highzeth: cx18_alsa requires snd-pcm, snd and cx18 to run, and they're loaded, and they can't be removed. nothing requires cx18_alsa, and therefore it should be removable, but it isn't because it's in use by some process

[11:45:25]

wagnerrp:

Captain_Murdoch: yeah, that would explain my problems, since i dont have VideoStartupDir set, that table is empty, so there is simply nothing to serve

[11:45:28]

mcl0vin:

sphery: Ok, and if i got stuck i will just walk away and come back later

[11:47:27]

one for responses (so the user can push certain recommendations into a proper recording rule, or into a blacklist that will never be automatically recorded)

[12:00:23]

and then the blacklist itself

[12:00:47]

wagnerrp:

would i have to specifically define what lists go on what pages?

[12:01:06]

wagnerrp:

or could i just define the lists, and let the themer decide how to break them up?

i.e. one per page for a SD theme; recommendations and blacklist (or maybe all three) on one page for a HD widescreen theme

iamlindoro:

ie have a list of responses and set the state on the blacklisted stuff to "yes" so that the themer can visually represent that that item is blacklisted

[12:10:32]

But I think I would need to have a better understanding of the workflow to be sure

wagnerrp:

i have no real workflow at the moment, as i dont know what all is possible with the UI

[12:11:38]

wagnerrp:

basically, just have an 'in' and an 'out' list

[12:12:05]

lucas_:

well, solution is to remove and reinstall the module

[12:12:28]

lucas_:

and I can't remove it, even forcibly – I get a generic errno message of 'resource temporarily unavailable'

[12:12:35]

wagnerrp:

existing rules and recordings pulled in from the system, that can be disabled by the user so theyre not used to request recommendations

[12:13:44]

gigem_ is now known as gigem

[12:14:09]

iamlindoro:

wagnerrp: Rather than thinking above and below, it sounds like a single statetype with multiple states is probably the ticket

[12:14:12]

mcl0vin:

can someone please take a look @http://pastebin.com/QVuCvTGJ and tell me if this is correct for WinTV-HVR-1600

[12:14:34]

iamlindoro:

statetype recstatus with states blacklisted, dorecord, dontrecord or something like that

[12:14:48]

wagnerrp:

right, thats how its set up in the database

[12:15:11]

iamlindoro:

yeah, so the statetype would be the visual representation of that the themer would have to work with, within a single buttonlist

[12:15:36]

iamlindoro:

So you'd have the "recording rules" buttonlist and the "results" buttonlist or whatever, with the statetypes applied to the results list

Oh wait, you never mentioned running pulseaudio and my mom wasn't exposed to radiation during the pregnancy so no psychic powers

compiz and pulseaudio are pretty standard I'd say on many distributions, would it kill them to add a little appendix saying MythTV doesn't work with em?

You mean besides the countless references to exactly those facts on the wiki and mailing list?

natanojl: Re: the MNV script guy on the users list, the player and downloader stuff is currently parsed and then mostly ignored. If someone is actually developing a script to use it, I can probably whip at the the player part of it up in a day or two

downloader stuff will be more complicated

[14:59:19]

natanojl:

iamlindoro: hm, I believe I have tried myself and got it to work

[14:59:24]

Additionally, the player stuff is untested so if he can get me a copy of the script that returns the player and playerargs values, I can test it while fleshing out the functionality

[14:59:27]

iamlindoro:

Cool

[14:59:37]

I knew I had worked on it, but hadn't written a script to test it worked

Ah, yeah, I see some stuff I need to get changed-- but it will sort-of work for .23 anyway

Anyway, since someone is actually using it, I'll make polishing it up in trunk a priority this week sometime

natanojl:

I'll keep an eye on the commits

[15:06:30]

natanojl: The obvious boo-boo I made is putting the player handling stuff in doDownloadAndPlay, it needs to be in showWebVideo so that one can just select an item

[15:07:06]

iamlindoro:

I sort of tossed that stuff togheter with no way to test it so it hasn't had the same level of reading and rereading

[15:09:33]

natanojl:

Yeah, seems reasonable since you don't actually download the file in that case

[15:10:09]

iamlindoro:

Yeah, I'll tweak it sometime this week and hopefully try to test it with his script (if it'll let me play it from here)

[15:11:27]

I guess I need to be more explicit in the pubDate docs that it's an RFC-822 date and time, since he seemed to think that it needed to be GMT

the alternative to a hackable firmware is simply regularly updating libaacs (once it is more readily available)

I don't know anybody who really uses lightscribe. Sure it's cool at first but takes way to long as well the media is $$

at least one of my burners does lightscribe, no intention of ever using it

[16:42:53]

takes longer to burn the lightscribe "label" then it does to burn the disk.

must be cheap to implement though. Just about all burners seem to have it these days

[16:43:39]

gbee:

jams: don't think I'll ever have a use for it, but compared to the next down in price which is a read-only Liteon ... well no contest, sure a combo device might have a shorter lifespan but by the time it dies the price will have dropped again to £25 and I won't have to keep two drives installed – one for Bluray, the other for burning CD/DVDs

Note that until I get the library resynced again, you just get what it considers the "main" title, which is generally just the longest

gbee:

lucas_: matter of opinion, but I don't want to be investing too much money in them from this point, I've been a late adopter in every format shift and I'm tired of throwing out stuff that I didn't buy that long ago just because I can't play it anymore or the quality is so obviously inferior to what's now available – all those tapes that could no longer be played in the car, or those VHS boxsets that took up huge amounts of space,

[17:18:51]

gbee:

had crappy picture quality and required a bulky player under the TV

[17:19:17]

iamlindoro:

natanojl: There, external players should behave a little more nicely (and more analogous to the way mythvideo works) now

guess I've never thought of DVDs as low-res, they certainly don't degrade like VHS

[17:21:03]

lucas_:

maybe my vision is just too awful to tell the difference between Blu-ray at 1080p on a 52" DLP HDTV and ... a cable feed from an analog tuner on a 19" LCD screen

[17:21:40]

gbee:

nothing particularly wrong with DVD, but for certain stuff there's no denying that HD is far superior

[17:21:43]

lucas_:

seriously hope Blu-ray gets Linux support soon anyway

[17:22:42]

gbee:

lucas_: well the difference in screen size makes a huge difference, SD TV looks pretty good on my 19" LCD but hideous on my 38" HDTV

I'm the sort of guy that plays 16-bit SNES games on a 48" rear projection big-screen TV

[17:25:00]

drindt:

how can i achieve, that after setting up a cutlist to just remove these frames in the already recorded mpg file? i dont want a reencode or shrinkdown. the reason i ask is that i proceed as its described in the docs but all what i get after hours of transcoding is an error, that he cant find the nuv file. but such file has never existed before...

[17:26:00]

iamlindoro:

You tick the "lossless" box on one of the existing transcoder profiles, then use that profile to do the transcode

[17:26:08]

iamlindoro:

this assumes that your source material is MPEG-2

[17:26:17]

gbee:

lucas_: yeah, I can't do that, I've seriously regretted going back to the old games I used to love because my memory of them is ruined, I remember them having state of the art graphics not hideously low res, blocky messes and don't get me started on what passed for gameplay ;)

[17:26:20]

iamlindoro:

If it's H.264, then the answer is, "You don't."

[17:27:01]

gbee:

yet

[17:27:20]

lucas_:

the games look differently on their native TV screens than in emulators. the pixelated text wasn't meant to be seen. that's what hq4x is for

[17:27:33]

iamlindoro:

heh, well if we're saying "yet," then the answer is "You don't... until you write the patch to add it because nobody else has/is.."

[17:28:01]

lucas_:

of course there's also the problem of the games looking and feeling dated

and I don't even have to go back that far, games from just 10 years ago bring the same disappointment, that even despite the fact that I've not really played any new games in the last 5/6? years – I started to resent how much of my time they stole

drindt:

iamlindoro: sorry my english is very bad

[17:33:36]

iamlindoro:

drindt: You need to edit recording profiles, which contain a menu item called "transcoders." You need to edit the one you wish to use as the lossless transcoders and tick the "lossless" box on the first screen

[17:33:48]

iamlindoro:

then you need to select that profile when you attempt to transcode something

For this to work, your source material *must* be MPEG-2 video codec

[17:34:29]

If you do not receive MPEG-2 video, then lossless transcode will not work, and your only option is lossy (long, quality loss) transcode.

[17:34:47]

quinten:

or is it possible to just download the grabbers somewhere, or did the format change?

Yes, it's extremely unstable owing to a rewrite of one of the base classes upon which all recording and playback is build

sokol99: recording from an HD Homerun doesn't take much in th way of resuorces since the video is already compressed so it just dumps the stream to disk

[19:42:50]

sphery:

sokol99: however, things like commercial flagging and transcoding can take a lot of CPU

sokol99: and the scheduler and--especially if you put MySQL on the same host as the master backend--the MySQL database server can take some CPU, too

[19:43:47]

sphery:

sokol99: so, basically, as long as you get a CPU and not a toy (Atom), you should be fine

[19:44:07]

sphery:

any relatively modern CPU is fine for a MythTV backend

[19:44:29]

iamlindoro:

Where CPU != Atom ;)

[19:44:32]

sphery:

(anything in the AMD Athlon 64 and above or Intel Core and better line)

[19:45:01]

sphery:

right, Atom = toy :)

[19:45:01]

sokol99:

Ok, great, thanks. I've been wondering what it would take.

[19:45:19]

sphery:

frontends take more power, though, since they have to decode and display the recordings

[19:45:46]

sphery:

and, regardless of the screen resolution, you'll still be required to decode whatever resolution video you're given in real time

[19:46:04]

sphery:

so, chances are, you'll need to decode HDTV resolution video in real time

[19:46:19]

I'm hoping to hardwire my computers at home at some point b/c I understand you'd need 802.11N for watching.

[19:46:29]

beata-:

is there a way in mythvideo to set a series id per directory instead of selecting it on per file bassis?

[19:46:34]

sphery:

you can choose to supplement the CPU power using an nvidia GPU with VDPAU support

[19:46:36]

iamlindoro:

beata-, no

[19:46:53]

iamlindoro:

Though if your files are properly named, you shouldn't ever need to set it manually at all

[19:47:16]

sphery:

sokol99: actually, I would never do MythTV with any wireless--N or whatever. You want wired ethernet for reliability.

Yes. I have a neighbor who seems to manage with N and HD Homerun but I think he's using Elgato on his Mac.

[19:48:54]

sokol99:

sphery: Thanks again for you help. Just what I needed to know. :)

[19:49:38]

beata-: since you have all the info in the DB, you can do: mysql -umythtv -p mythconverg -e "SELECT filename, title FROM videometadata ORDER BY filename;" > files.txt

[19:50:13]

sphery:

beata-: then just use any text editor (or spreadsheet) to turn it into the commands you want to use to rename

[19:50:20]

and then edit the destination names as desired.

[20:37:29]

you'll need to get the IR transmitter working or see if your STB allows serial or USB or firewire control

[20:37:46]

iamlindoro:

Captain_Murdoch, Am I right to say that plugins cannot use system events?

[20:38:21]

no, they should be able to send them.

Captain_Murdoch, I might just be trying to include the wrong thing, but it seems mythsystemevent.h isn't ending up in my include dir

[20:39:24]

That or it might just not have been added to the .pro file

but i guess thats up to the creativity of the end user

For any of the trillion reasons you might want to do so for any of the other events

so its difficult to have a global handler, but let the user override it for certain events

[20:56:33]

** Captain_Murdoch isn't quite sure of the need for the handler in python then unless you're trying to replicate the backend/frontend handling code for machines that can't run the FE or BE. **

[20:57:10]

wagnerrp:

well part of it is that, run the handling code on a machine not running anything else myth

[20:57:31]

wagnerrp:

but it also lets the user run a daemon with custom responses to events, rather than simply triggering an external command

yes

easily?

acts just like using 'open'

[22:25:46]

i'll have to read up on how to use the bindings them

[22:25:47]

you should use 'ftopen()' to open a file object, not FileTransfer directly

then*

[22:26:18]

i'm pretty sure this bug i'm looking at is completely in the backend... but a quick test with the python bindings will verify that

i still don't understand how the schema got upgraded, the backend is still .22

huh...

[22:58:00]

the socket on the backend that is opened to handle the file transfer doenst close all the way

right... dont know why it wouldnt

Captain_Murdoch: the socket on the frontend is closed fine, but the one on the backend stays in CLOSE_WAIT

(or restore the pre-upgrade backup)

[23:01:59]

[23:02:07]

its up to you to read through that list

[23:02:30]

sphery:

plut0: no, Ubuntu didn't upgrade it, you did when you ran a mythbackend non-interactively

[23:02:41]

sphery:

that is implicit permission to upgrade the DB

[23:02:52]

sphery:

and, like I said, there's a pre-upgrade backup

[23:02:54]

plut0:

sphery: i never ran the backend on my desktop

[23:03:20]

sphery:

well, I'm pretty sure that the default Ubuntu 10.04 doesn't even have mythbackend installed, so ...

[23:03:32]

plut0:

sphery: i had it installed on 9.10 before i upgraded

[23:03:35]

sphery:

(let alone have it configured with a config.xml that points to your backend)

[23:03:59]

sphery:

so when you upgraded and left it enabled for automatic startup...

[23:04:32]

sphery:

but anyway, just upgrade now (since you probably should be running 0.23-fixes, anyway--it's better than 0.22-fixes) or restore the pre-upgrade backup

[23:05:05]

plut0:

sphery: looks like its set to automatically start on bootup

[23:05:41]

yeah, and if you don't want to use it, you need to either uninstall it or disable auto startup

sounds great

yep, worked fine.

[23:24:35]

Captain_Murdoch:

just tried it. BaseName=dir/subdir/file.avi

[23:25:34]

Captain_Murdoch:

so that means that StorageGroup::FindRecordingFile("dir/subdir/file.avi") worked as well. I probably should have named that method differently when I wrote it and FindRecordingDir()

[23:25:52]

my mind was on recordings back then, not video and music.

as soon as the remote endpoint terminates

[23:36:30]

from that python shell from trunk

file=ftopen("myth://Banners@mythback/test", "w")

file.close()

and then the same thing with "r"

no

[23:37:02]

and check the netstat on the backend adn the frontend

do a 'file.backendCommand('QUERY_FILETRANSFER %s[]:[]DONE' % file._sockno)'
