| 06:42 | <poptix> | hmm |
| 06:42 | <poptix> | mythtv does look a lot better on a TV |
| 07:32 | <m0tion> | poptix: yes |
| 07:32 | <m0tion> | the tv quality is MUCH better on a TV, because you aren't able to see all the imprefections like on a monitor |
| 07:45 | <poptix> | too bad mythtv goes against the whole idea of open source, and standardized formats/protocols =-p |
| 07:46 | <nevertheless> | poptix: talking about the net stuff or about the nuppelvid stuff, too? |
| 07:46 | <poptix> | both |
| 07:46 | <poptix> | i mean, fine, so he decided to hard code a certain codec and whatnot, instead of making it easy to use other codecs |
| 07:47 | <poptix> | but the recorded shows are a bastardized version of nuppelvideo |
| 07:47 | <poptix> | which locks you into using mythtv to watch them |
| 07:47 | <nevertheless> | for the vid stuff: its an optimized video codec, it doesn't make sense to use a standard version an only get up to recording sizes of 320x.. due to the noOptimization |
| 07:47 | <nevertheless> | no, mplayer can play them too |
| 07:47 | <poptix> | mplayer can play real nuppelvideo files, i'm not sure about the version that mythtv puts out |
| 07:48 | <nevertheless> | there is a patch avail. |
| 07:49 | <poptix> | i don't see the reason for using nuppelvideo/rtjpeg in particular, or for bastardizing the nuv format |
| 07:49 | <poptix> | i can easily capture 640x480 directly to divx, or various other formats in real time |
| 07:50 | <poptix> | Chutt has my applause for making a nice program, but he didn't put any thought into making it anywhere near easy for other people to modify it, or extend it. |
| 07:51 | <nevertheless> | (including commenting ;-) |
| 07:51 | <poptix> | there's a severe lack of documentation of the actual program =p |
| 07:51 | <poptix> | yeah. |
| 07:51 | <poptix> | hell |
| 07:51 | <poptix> | i can't even exit the damned thing without a kill -TERM |
| 07:51 | <nevertheless> | why? |
| 07:51 | <poptix> | because for some reason alt+f4 isn't working |
| 07:51 | <nevertheless> | just use esc with a modifier in cvs |
| 07:52 | <nevertheless> | thats why I implemented the stuff |
| 07:52 | <poptix> | i shouldn't have to use a modifier =p |
| 07:52 | <nevertheless> | but chutt said, he doesn't need to shutdown mythtv, since Its running all the time |
| 07:52 | <nevertheless> | then set, to shutdown without modifier |
| 07:53 | <nevertheless> | are you using cvs? |
| 07:53 | <poptix> | yes |
| 07:53 | <nevertheless> | ok, then go on |
| 07:53 | <poptix> | none of this is documented |
| 07:53 | <nevertheless> | of what? |
| 07:53 | <poptix> | where is the code that you implemented? |
| 07:54 | <nevertheless> | program/mythfrontend/main.cpp mainly |
| 07:55 | <nevertheless> | just go to setup->general->twice OK -> and then System Shutdown |
| 07:57 | <poptix> | that's not very descriptive |
| 07:57 | <poptix> | ;alksjf |
| 07:57 | <nevertheless> | aehm? |
| 07:57 | <poptix> | alright, i set it to no modifier |
| 07:58 | <poptix> | that gives me nfi what key to hit, to exit |
| 07:58 | <nevertheless> | nfi? |
| 07:58 | <poptix> | 'no fucking idea' |
| 07:58 | <poptix> | alright |
| 07:58 | <nevertheless> | ok :-) |
| 07:59 | <poptix> | i had to kill it, and restart it |
| 07:59 | <poptix> | now esc will bring up the exit screen |
| 07:59 | <poptix> | sigh. |
| 07:59 | <nevertheless> | :) |
| 07:59 | <poptix> | it's hard to see what item is selected in those setup screens |
| 07:59 | <poptix> | and pressing <- or -> to cycle through items is.. less than intuitive |
| 08:00 | <nevertheless> | right, but you should be able to use it with a remote |
| 08:00 | <nevertheless> | excluding some special things |
| 08:01 | * poptix | shrugs |
| 08:01 | <poptix> | depends on what kind of remote you're using |
| 08:01 | <nevertheless> | why? |
| 08:01 | <poptix> | my remote has a tab key |
| 08:01 | <poptix> | heh. |
| 08:02 | <poptix> | generally you would tab through options |
| 08:02 | <nevertheless> | my remote has up,down,right,left,esc and ok |
| 08:02 | <poptix> | press up/down for selections |
| 08:02 | <poptix> | <enter> for checkboxes |
| 08:02 | <poptix> | anyway |
| 08:02 | <poptix> | it's not a big deal |
| 08:03 | * poptix | looks at the 3 pieces of coax feeding into his PC |
| 08:03 | <poptix> | any idea why he chose to munge up the nuv format? |
| 08:04 | <Universe> | because it hasn't been updated in forever and needed some improvements |
| 08:05 | <poptix> | such as? |
| 08:05 | <Universe> | thats what has been said... I am sure you could do a compare on the code and see what was changed... |
| 08:05 | <Universe> | I have no clue |

| 08:13 | <nevertheless> | Remote closed the connection |
| 08:14 | <poptix_> | nevertheless: fyi, it's not taking effect until mythfrontend is restarted |
| 08:16 | <nevertheless> | your right, this is supposed to be a bug in the new settings stuff using sql |
| 08:16 | <poptix_> | perhaps you should call the function that loads the settings from the database |
| 08:17 | <nevertheless> | arg |
| 08:17 | <nevertheless> | thats done on init of the menu |
| 08:17 | <poptix_> | hmm |
| 08:17 | <nevertheless> | i need to fix that |
| 08:21 | <poptix_> | honestly, I don't see why he's doing the decoding on his own at all |
| 08:21 | <poptix_> | using something like mplayer would get you a lot more flexibility |
| 08:21 | <poptix_> | (even though i really don't like mplayer =) |
| 08:23 | <nevertheless> | how would you use mplayer for LiveTV ? |
| 08:24 | <poptix_> | with pause/fast forward/rewind? |
| 08:25 | <poptix_> | create a ring buffer, tell mplayer to read it |
| 08:25 | <poptix_> | then all you have to do is dump the video/audio into the buffer |
| 08:26 | <poptix_> | you pause mplayer, and it just stops reading |
| 08:26 | <poptix_> | unpause, you're at the same place |
| 08:26 | <poptix_> | (unless you've paused it for so long that you overran the ringbuffer and it came back around to your current position) |
| 08:26 | <poptix_> | in that circumstance, mythtv just forces an unpause |
| 08:26 | <nevertheless> | I doubt that would work smooth (ok, the client/server doesn't work smooth too) |
| 08:26 | <poptix_> | (which you could just as easily make mplayer do) |
| 08:27 | <poptix_> | with my WinTV PVR-250, i've got the program grabbing the mpeg2 data, and dumping it into a 1GB mpg |
| 08:27 | <poptix_> | when it hits the end of the 1GB, it starts over at the beginning |
| 08:27 | <poptix_> | i open that with xine, and it works fine. |
| 08:28 | <poptix_> | rewind, fast forward, pause etc |
| 08:28 | <poptix_> | depending on the bitrate, it gets me about half an hour worth of pause time |
| 08:29 | <nevertheless> | so, go on in implement stuff, using the mplayer patch for nuv it should be quite easy :-) |
| 08:29 | <nevertheless> | s/in/and/ |
| 08:29 | <poptix_> | i'm not about to spend the time documenting the working of mythtv so that i can implement something that will be broken by the next cvs commit |
| 08:30 | <poptix_> | Chutt's comments lead me to believe that he would have no problem with breaking everything that he doesn't use and leaving it broken |
| 08:32 | <nevertheless> | hmmm, don't know, but what for do you really need mplayer playing the stuff? |
| 08:33 | <nevertheless> | you just don't do it for opensource's sake, are you? |
| 08:33 | <poptix_> | no |
| 08:33 | <nevertheless> | so, what would be the "pro" ? |
| 08:33 | <poptix_> | i'd like to be able to drop in various recordings in the media directory |
| 08:33 | <poptix_> | and play them with the same interface |
| 08:34 | <poptix_> | or put a DVD in the drive, and watch it, with the same interface |
| 08:34 | <nevertheless> | what about mythvideo? (i never used it) |
| 08:34 | <poptix_> | there's a million and one codecs out there, mplayer supports 999,999 of them |
| 08:34 | <nevertheless> | yeah, thats right |
| 08:35 | <nomeata> | mplayer is great, but I think it that gstreamer will outrun mplayer eventually (more flexible design) |
| 08:35 | <poptix_> | mplayer also supports v4l compatible devices |
| 08:35 | <poptix_> | which means you could watch TV without the PVR features easily |
| 08:35 | <nevertheless> | what? |
| 08:36 | <poptix_> | if you simply wanted to use PIP, or the EPG |
| 08:36 | <poptix_> | with the mythtv interface and whatnot |
| 08:36 | <poptix_> | but didn't care for the PVR features such as pause/rewind/ff etc in that particular instance |
| 08:37 | <poptix_> | mplayer can read directly from v4l interfaces, and display them (like xawtv) |
| 08:37 | <nevertheless> | hmmm, thats the main feature of mythtv, you can use the epg without mythtv, and can watch tv using xawtv, you can run it twice and have an even more flexible pip |
| 08:38 | <poptix_> | i can do that now without mythtv |
| 08:38 | <poptix_> | what i want is integration |
| 08:38 | <poptix_> | and flexibility |
| 08:39 | <nevertheless> | what do you need mythtv if you have already another way? |
| 08:39 | <poptix_> | i don't want to remember 6 different key settings for 6 different types of media when i'm trying to watch TV =p |
| 08:39 | <poptix_> | www.tvguide.com + xawtv works fine |
| 08:39 | <nevertheless> | hmmm, so why complaining here>? |
| 08:39 | <poptix_> | the improvement is putting it together in something like mythtv, and having it use a good interface |
| 08:40 | <poptix_> | along with the PVR features |

| 09:02 | * poptix_ | ponders replacing all the rtjpeg code with libmpeg2 |
| 09:08 | -!- | nevertheless [] has quit [Remote closed the connection] |
| 09:43 | <vektor> | um... |
| 09:43 | <vektor> | libmpeg2 is just a decoder. |
| 09:45 | <poptix_> | i've already got a hardware encoder. |
| 09:45 | <vektor> | Ah, ok. |
| 09:45 | <vektor> | I'm curious, which one? |
| 09:45 | <vektor> | Ah, the WinTV-PVR 250 ? |
| 09:46 | <vektor> | Do you happen to know, can it record in interlaced MPEG2 mode? |
| 09:47 | <vektor> | Were you hacking with gb/pavlov and those types on their driver? |
| 09:47 | <poptix_> | no |
| 09:47 | <poptix_> | i've got the PVR-250 |
| 09:47 | <vektor> | No to which question? |
| 09:47 | <vektor> | :) |
| 09:47 | <poptix_> | and i don't think it can record anything but interlaced video |
| 09:47 | <vektor> | I'm mostly curious about interlaced MPEG2 recording. |
| 09:47 | <vektor> | Ah, awesome. |
| 09:48 | <vektor> | So, you can get full 720x480 ? |
| 09:48 | <poptix_> | it's so easy to deinterace anyway |
| 09:48 | <vektor> | Or are you PAL so you get 720x576? |
| 09:48 | <poptix_> | yeah |
| 09:48 | <vektor> | Um... |
| 09:48 | <vektor> | Deinterlacing is not easy :) |
| 09:48 | <poptix_> | it'll do both |
| 09:48 | * vektor | == author of a realtime deinterlacer. |
| 09:48 | <vektor> | All of the linux media players don't deinterlace 'properly' for example. |
| 09:48 | <poptix_> | well, i should say there are plenty of filters out there anyway, that are easy to tie into your video display program =p |
| 09:48 | <vektor> | But anyway :) |
| 09:48 | <vektor> | uh... |
| 09:48 | <vektor> | No dude. |
| 09:49 | <poptix_> | no? |
| 09:49 | <vektor> | True deinterlacing means decoding at full rate of 59.94fps for NTSC. |
| 09:49 | <vektor> | Xine/mplayer/... they all can't do full 60fps output. |
| 09:49 | <vektor> | Arpi doesn't care about 60fps for example :) He claims he mostly watches 24fps progressive material so he doesn't care :) |
| 09:49 | <poptix_> | yes, but it looks fine to me, which is all i need at the moment |
| 09:49 | <vektor> | Oh. |
| 09:49 | <vektor> | So, which reversed drivers are you using? |
| 09:49 | <poptix_> | i'm using the reference drivers |
| 09:50 | <vektor> | The reference drivers? |
| 09:50 | <poptix_> | the only drivers i know of actually |
| 09:50 | <vektor> | I did not know that any drivers were available, but I know of two reverse engineering projects. |
| 09:50 | <poptix_> | some website that makes TV cards with the iTV chipset put the reference drivers up, even though they claim to be under an NDA |
| 09:50 | <vektor> | When did they come out? |
| 09:50 | <vektor> | Oh... Interesting. |
| 09:50 | <poptix_> | so nobody really wants to touch them |
| 09:50 | <vektor> | Yeah, I can imagine. |
| 09:50 | <poptix_> | but as i said, they're working fine for me |
| 09:51 | <vektor> | But I assume they don't provide a V4L interface :) |
| 09:51 | <poptix_> | driver loads, and you run this little app to pull the mpeg stream off the card |
| 09:51 | <vektor> | Oh, ok. |
| 09:51 | <vektor> | How do you control the tuner? |
| 09:51 | <poptix_> | the program loads a conf.ini that has all the mpeg stream settings (mpeg1 or mpeg2, bitrate, resolution, channel, etc) |
| 09:51 | <vektor> | Sure sure, but what about the tuner? |
| 09:51 | <poptix_> | the application pulling the stream off does it |
| 09:51 | <vektor> | Hmm. |
| 09:52 | <poptix_> | you can hit 'c' while it's running and change the channel |
| 09:52 | <vektor> | Have you looked at the code? |
| 09:52 | <poptix_> | yeah |
| 09:52 | <poptix_> | it's all i2c |
| 09:52 | <vektor> | Hmm. |
| 09:52 | <vektor> | How does the data get transfered? |
| 09:52 | <poptix_> | it wouldn't be terribly hard to make a v4l interface |
| 09:52 | <vektor> | Like, the MPEG2 data, where does it come from? |
| 09:52 | <vektor> | Well, I don't think you'd want to. |
| 09:52 | <poptix_> | hmm |
| 09:52 | <poptix_> | honestly, i don't know |
| 09:52 | <vektor> | Really I think that this sort of card is not served well by V4L at all. |
| 09:52 | <poptix_> | would you like the stripped down driver i have? |
| 09:52 | <vektor> | We need some other API. |
| 09:53 | <vektor> | Stripped down? |
| 09:53 | <poptix_> | i stripped out all the windows code, and the halfassed gui stuff they had in there |
| 09:53 | <vektor> | Oh no dude, keep in the Windows code. |
| 09:53 | <poptix_> | ie, it's nothing but the code that's actually used in linux |
| 09:53 | <poptix_> | (less confusing) |
| 09:53 | <vektor> | I'd appreciate it if you could send me the driver, just don't tell anyone you sent it to me. |
| 09:53 | <poptix_> | =p |
| 09:53 | <vektor> | I'm dead serious. ;) |
| 09:53 | * Soopizzle | ...conspiracy... |
| 09:53 | <poptix_> | it can be downloaded from various websites |
| 09:53 | <vektor> | Soopizzle: Loser :) |
| 09:53 | <poptix_> | i just took out the unused crap |
| 09:54 | <vektor> | poptix_: Still, IRC is nice and anonymous. |
| 09:54 | <poptix_> | fyi, the windows code doesn't even work |
| 09:54 | <vektor> | If you happen to have the .zip you downloaded, I'd appreciate it. |
| 09:54 | <poptix_> | nor does the gui player code |
| 09:54 | <vektor> | Well, my auto-accept is on. |
| 09:54 | <vektor> | So, whatever you have. |
| 09:55 | <vektor> | Putting support for this into mythtv might be difficult. For now, you'd probably want to put the whole capture app right into mythtv. |
| 09:55 | <vektor> | I guess, eh? |
| 09:55 | <poptix_> | well |
| 09:55 | <vektor> | um |
| 09:55 | <vektor> | you're behing a NAT and it's fucking the dcc. |
| 09:55 | <poptix_> | probably |
| 09:55 | <poptix_> | hold. |
| 09:56 | <vektor> | No, not probably, it is :) |
| 09:56 | <vektor> | request from 192.168.0.2 ;-) |
| 09:56 | <vektor> | That's an RFC1918 addy. |
| 09:57 | <vektor> | Do you happen to know if those drivers work with the PVR-350 ? |
| 09:57 | <poptix_> | heh |
| 09:57 | <poptix_> | my home network is very complex.. |
| 09:57 | <poptix_> | yes, they do |
| 09:57 | <vektor> | I might pick one up today then. |
| 09:57 | <poptix_> | nifty |
| 09:57 | <poptix_> | i assume you have C++ programming experience? |
| 09:57 | <vektor> | Um, yes. |
| 09:58 | <vektor> | I assume you do too. |
| 09:58 | <poptix_> | very little. |
| 09:58 | <poptix_> | i'm more of a C person =p |
| 09:58 | <vektor> | Ah ok. |
| 09:58 | <vektor> | Well all of my opensource projects are in C. |
| 09:58 | <vektor> | Erm, most anyway :) |
| 09:58 | <vektor> | Since all these free software types are so anti-C++. |
| 09:59 | <vektor> | But anyway. |
| 10:00 | <vektor> | It still sounds like it would be pretty difficult to integrate these drivers directly into mythtv. |
| 10:03 | <vektor> | Also, well, the quality loss is a bit annoying for my applications... |
| 10:03 | <vektor> | But still. :) |
| 10:03 | <poptix_> | okay, as i was saying |
| 10:04 | <poptix_> | the player application supports a few different things |
| 10:04 | <poptix_> | including a Diskless mode |
| 10:04 | <poptix_> | Diskless mode actually just creates a timeshift file |
| 10:04 | <vektor> | Argh, FutureShop doesn't seem to carry the WinTV-PVR. |
| 10:04 | <vektor> | Well whatever, if I buy it I'm writing my own player. |
| 10:05 | <poptix_> | a set size file that is written to until it hits the end, then it returns to the beginning of the file and continues to write |
| 10:05 | <poptix_> | nod |
| 10:05 | * vektor | wrote an MPEG2/DVD player app for linux. |
| 10:05 | <vektor> | Like I said, I can't stand watching 60fps content at 30fps. |
| 10:05 | <poptix_> | i've been opening that with xine, and it works fine for PVR functions =p |
| 10:05 | <vektor> | Hrm. |
| 10:05 | <poptix_> | vektor: works fine since i'm sending it out the S-Video output =p |
| 10:05 | <vektor> | uh..... |
| 10:05 | <vektor> | How are you doing that? |
| 10:06 | <vektor> | You're likely still only getting 30fps then. |
| 10:06 | <poptix_> | i've got a sigma hollywood+ em8300 |
| 10:06 | <vektor> | Ooooooh!! |
| 10:06 | <poptix_> | mpeg2 decoder |
| 10:06 | <vektor> | Well yeah, that would work wonders. |
| 10:06 | <vektor> | Since that can drive the output. |
| 10:06 | <poptix_> | nod |
| 10:06 | <vektor> | So then, if you give that an interlaced MPEG2 file, I guess it does 'the right thing'? |
| 10:06 | <poptix_> | unfortunately mythtv doesn't support any of this =p |
| 10:06 | <vektor> | Well there's a big flaw there dude. |
| 10:07 | <vektor> | And it would be the same with my app. |
| 10:07 | <poptix_> | i assume it's just decoding it, not deinterlacing it |
| 10:07 | <vektor> | How do I composite an OSD onto that?! |
| 10:07 | <vektor> | Well, yes it has control over the TV encoder so it can send the fields correctly, that's the idea anyway. |
| 10:07 | <poptix_> | actually the win tv pvr supports an osd of some sort |
| 10:07 | <vektor> | So how does that work. |
| 10:07 | <vektor> | I send an ARGB image to the driver? |
| 10:07 | <vektor> | Seems a bit odd :) |
| 10:08 | <poptix_> | not sure =p |
| 10:08 | <poptix_> | it's all in this code |
| 10:08 | <vektor> | Hrm. |
| 10:08 | <poptix_> | ETA, 11 seconds |
| 10:08 | <vektor> | So, are you going to hack this into mythtv? |
| 10:08 | <vektor> | I'm curious. |
| 10:08 | <poptix_> | i'm not skilled enough to do so. |
| 10:08 | <vektor> | I don't know how you'll handle the ep guide and OSD with your hardware decoder... |
| 10:09 | <vektor> | Like, your model isn't well suited for how mythtv works, I don't think. |
| 10:09 | <vektor> | Not that I use mythtv. :) |
| 10:09 | <poptix_> | i'd be happy to see mythtv support this pvr-250 as an input device, recording to mpeg2 on disk |
| 10:09 | <vektor> | Well, that really doesn't follow the mythtv model. |
| 10:09 | <poptix_> | the em8300 as an output device is just sugar and frills |
| 10:09 | <vektor> | Since mythtv's input is based on V4L... |
| 10:09 | <vektor> | and mythtv does pixel operations on the images. |
| 10:10 | <poptix_> | mythtv supports the mjpeg cards as well |
| 10:10 | <vektor> | Yes but they also support the V4L API. |
| 10:10 | <vektor> | So the tuner API is the same, I believe. |
| 10:10 | <poptix_> | they support a hack of the v4l api |
| 10:10 | <vektor> | Sure, but bbb is pretty good about it. |
| 10:10 | <poptix_> | from what i've read of the v4l spec, it doesn't say anything about compressed streams |
| 10:11 | <vektor> | Sure, but the nice thing about mjpeg is that there is no inter-frame compression. |
| 10:11 | <vektor> | It's all intra-frame. |
| 10:11 | <vektor> | So you can treat it as a pixel encoding type. |
| 10:11 | <vektor> | Also, you can decode it in software trivially. |
| 10:11 | <vektor> | Anyway, I'm just saying it's not a trivial thing to support. |
| 10:11 | <vektor> | So I'd figure you'd do it. |
| 10:11 | <vektor> | :) |
| 10:11 | <poptix_> | =p |
| 10:12 | <vektor> | But if you're not going to that kinda sucks. |
| 10:12 | <vektor> | Cause I know that chutt doesn't have a PVR card. |
| 10:12 | <vektor> | Nobody does, really. |
| 10:12 | <vektor> | Since it's a pain. |
| 10:12 | <poptix_> | Chutt doesn't care |
| 10:12 | <vektor> | And why should he. |
| 10:12 | <poptix_> | i offered to send him one for dev purposes |
| 10:12 | <vektor> | Yeah but they're a pain. :) |
| 10:12 | <poptix_> | he said even if he had one, he wouldn't use it |
| 10:12 | <vektor> | Yeah, it's not really worth it. |
| 10:12 | * poptix_ | thinks it is =p |
| 10:12 | <vektor> | So, then you get to support it :) |
| 10:12 | <vektor> | That's how opensource works :) |
| 10:13 | <vektor> | I mean, in my apps, my PAL support lacks alot. |
| 10:13 | <vektor> | Since, well, I'm in North America :) |
| 10:13 | <poptix_> | yeah |
| 10:13 | <vektor> | That's just how open source works :) |
| 10:13 | <poptix_> | are you on the mailing list? |
| 10:13 | <vektor> | No, I'm not. I just borrow source code from mythtv a bit. |
| 10:13 | <vektor> | So I hang out here because it's cool. |
| 10:13 | <poptix_> | they're talking about how they number channels in britain |
| 10:13 | <poptix_> | apparently it's different than here |
| 10:13 | <vektor> | Oh fuck, it's such a pain to deal with all of that. |
| 10:13 | <poptix_> | heh. |
| 10:13 | <vektor> | In tvtime we have no end of problems. |
| 10:14 | <poptix_> | ah, tvtime |
| 10:14 | <vektor> | I try to make it clean though, but man... :( |
| 10:14 | <poptix_> | good program =p |
| 10:14 | <vektor> | Thanks! |
| 10:14 | <poptix_> | i like the semi random quotes |
| 10:14 | <vektor> | 60fps output all the way :) |
| 10:14 | <poptix_> | =p |
| 10:14 | <vektor> | Heh, thanks :) |
| 10:14 | <poptix_> | nice OSD too |
| 10:14 | <vektor> | If you have any ideas for more quotes, let me know :) |
| 10:14 | <vektor> | The OSD code originally came from mythtv's OSD code. |
| 10:14 | <vektor> | I have some things to port back now. |
| 10:15 | <poptix_> | pulling coherant strings from the VBI data would be interesting =) |
| 10:15 | <vektor> | What do you mean? |
| 10:15 | <vektor> | Oh fuck, did you try cvs tvtime? |
| 10:15 | <poptix_> | not lately |
| 10:15 | <vektor> | Ugh, why do people get it from CVS. |
| 10:15 | <vektor> | CVS is _broken_. We're _developing_ it. |
| 10:16 | <vektor> | So annoying. :) |
| 10:16 | <poptix_> | i meant pulling strings from the VBI for the titlebar |
| 10:16 | <vektor> | Heh, I see :) |
| 10:16 | <poptix_> | i imagine you could get some interesting quotes |
| 10:16 | <vektor> | Yeah, we could :) |
| 10:16 | <vektor> | That's a good idea :) |
| 10:16 | <vektor> | Thanks. |
| 10:16 | <poptix_> | at first i started to wonder if that's where they came from =p |
| 10:16 | <vektor> | We have a closed caption decoder now in CVS. |
| 10:16 | <vektor> | But closed captions are very difficult to do correctly. |
| 10:17 | <vektor> | When we release I think we will be the first proper closed caption renderer for Linux. |
| 10:17 | <poptix_> | in what way? |
| 10:17 | <mdz_> | not this discussion again |
| 10:17 | <poptix_> | mdz_: ? |
| 10:17 | <vektor> | Like, closed captions have information about position on the screen, time to roll up, etc. |
| 10:17 | <vektor> | They also have multiple streams. |
| 10:17 | <poptix_> | vektor: oh, yeah |
| 10:17 | <mdz_> | the PVR card crap |
| 10:17 | <vektor> | It's not just a stream of text. |
| 10:17 | <poptix_> | mdz_: chill, we're having a good discussion |
| 10:17 | <vektor> | So, rendering it is very difficult. |
| 10:18 | <vektor> | Also, it takes a specific font, and needs some weird characters. |
| 10:18 | <mdz_> | poptix_: about mythtv? |
| 10:18 | <poptix_> | vektor: the decoders i've seen just grab the text and display it, ignoring the other information |
| 10:18 | <vektor> | I'm very much not sure how to really do it right. |
| 10:18 | <vektor> | poptix_: Yes, very bad. Leads to all sorts of crap. |
| 10:18 | <vektor> | It makes it effectively unusable. |
| 10:18 | <vektor> | Since so many stations rely on the other information. |
| 10:19 | <poptix_> | have you found any good documentation on decoding that information? |
| 10:19 | <vektor> | Well, yeah. EIA-608A/B. |
| 10:19 | <vektor> | That's the line21 data services standard. |
| 10:19 | <poptix_> | for a while i was very interested in the Guide+ data |
| 10:19 | <vektor> | Where else would you look? ;-) |
| 10:19 | <vektor> | Ah, we support XDS information now. |
| 10:19 | <vektor> | Guide+ I'm a bit weirded out by. |
| 10:19 | <poptix_> | but i couldn't find anything that documented it |
| 10:20 | <vektor> | XDS supports stuff like the name of the channel, the show name, the show length, etc. |
| 10:20 | <poptix_> | yeah |
| 10:20 | <vektor> | But it's sooo poorly implemented by stations. |
| 10:20 | <vektor> | Some stations do, some stations don't, etc. |
| 10:20 | <poptix_> | actually AT&T does a fairly good job of it |
| 10:20 | <poptix_> | as a provider, not a station |
| 10:20 | <vektor> | Like, MuchMusic would have the show name 'LIVE WITH SHANIA T' while TBS says like 'The Rosanne Show'. |
| 10:20 | <poptix_> | we've even got the nifty icons |
| 10:20 | <vektor> | Heh. |
| 10:20 | <poptix_> | heh. |
| 10:20 | <vektor> | Like, I'm really unimpressed with XDS. |
| 10:20 | <vektor> | I |
| 10:21 | <vektor> | I've found that most Canadian TVs that support XDS just leave it shut off by default. |
| 10:21 | <vektor> | If anything, channels just send the V-Chip ratings. |
| 10:21 | <poptix_> | yeah |
| 10:21 | <vektor> | So, it's not the holy grail I thought it was. |
| 10:21 | <poptix_> | i think it was kwintv |
| 10:21 | <poptix_> | that i found |
| 10:21 | <vektor> | I think I'm going to just find the manual for a Sony TV and do exactly what they do. |
| 10:21 | <vektor> | Same UI and everything. |
| 10:21 | <poptix_> | the only program that decoded that information, along with the v-chip stuff |
| 10:22 | <vektor> | I mean, that's my real goal for tvtime. Do a TV replacement that feels like a TV replacement, then improve from there. |
| 10:22 | <poptix_> | nod |
| 10:22 | <vektor> | Anyway, if you clean up the PVR driver that would be good. |
| 10:22 | <vektor> | If you do a V4L style tuner API I think that would help out. |
| 10:22 | <poptix_> | just the tuner? =P |
| 10:22 | <vektor> | It's a start. |
| 10:23 | <poptix_> | hmm, i could do that.. |
| 10:23 | <vektor> | I mean, V4L2 doesn't even address the needs of an abstract MPEG2 encoding API. |
| 10:23 | <vektor> | We need something else. |
| 10:23 | <poptix_> | have you looked at how the mjpeg cards are doing it? |
| 10:23 | <vektor> | Yes but again, mjpeg cards are only intra-frame compression. |
| 10:23 | <vektor> | So it's alot easier to deal with. |
| 10:24 | -!- | Edgan [] has quit ["Client Exiting"] |
| 10:24 | <vektor> | Anyway, good luck. Any support you can design and put into mythtv I'm sure will be appreciated by someone. |
| 10:24 | <vektor> | Although most people probably don't see much point. |
| 10:25 | <vektor> | Since it's definitely alot of complexity for little gain. |
| 10:25 | -!- | nevertheless [~neverthel@p50859488.dip.t-dialin.net] has joined #mythtv |
| 10:25 | <vektor> | (and, in the case of applications like tvtime, worse colour resolution too). |
| 10:26 | <vektor> | So, there are lots of reasons to just wait until a standard driver API, or at least a standard driver, come around. :) |
| 10:26 | <vektor> | I didn't know there was a working driver though. I think I'll own a card by the weekend. ;) |
| 10:27 | -!- | Edgan [edgan@24-205-192-137.rno-cres.charterpipeline.net] has joined #mythtv |
| 10:28 | <poptix_> | eh |
| 10:28 | <poptix_> | er |
| 10:28 | <vektor> | Makes sense? |
| 10:28 | <poptix_> | heh |
| 10:28 | <poptix_> | personally, the PVR card looks better to me |
| 10:28 | <vektor> | Why? |
| 10:29 | <vektor> | It's definitely better in a few cases. |
| 10:29 | <vektor> | 1) You own a hardware MPEG2 decoder that can output field-correct interlaced data to a TV. |
| 10:29 | <vektor> | 2) You want to store on SVCD or DVD or something. |
| 10:29 | <vektor> | But even 2) is iffy since you can get better quality using mpeg2enc modified properly I bet. |
| 10:29 | <vektor> | What other case is there? |
| 10:29 | * poptix_ | points at the sony DRU-500a in his computer that burns all DVD formats |
| 10:30 | <vektor> | Yeah, but that's about it. |
| 10:30 | <poptix_> | well, everything but -RAM, but who really uses that |
| 10:30 | <vektor> | And most people for PVR applications don't care about storing to DVD or SVCD |
| 10:30 | <poptix_> | here's the thing |
| 10:30 | <vektor> | Since a PVR is not a high quality video recorder. |
| 10:30 | <poptix_> | mythtv chirps, burps, and screws up all around |
| 10:30 | <vektor> | Huh? |
| 10:30 | <poptix_> | in my Athlon XP 2100+ |
| 10:30 | <vektor> | What do you mean by that? Now you're dissing the app? :) |
| 10:30 | <poptix_> | in/on |
| 10:30 | <vektor> | Then you're doing something wrong. |
| 10:30 | <poptix_> | the encoding |
| 10:30 | <vektor> | Or, you're misconfigued. |
| 10:30 | <poptix_> | there's not much for me to do wrong =p |
| 10:31 | <vektor> | Oh, I beg to differ :) |
| 10:31 | <poptix_> | i mean with MythTV |
| 10:31 | <vektor> | Dude, you won't believe the problems we have with tvtime performance. |
| 10:31 | <vektor> | And 90% of the time it's not tvtime's fault. |
| 10:31 | <poptix_> | you've barely got any settings to muck up |
| 10:31 | <poptix_> | tvtime has given me 0 problems |
| 10:31 | <poptix_> | worked 'out of the box' |
| 10:31 | <vektor> | True, but lots of other problems. |
| 10:31 | <vektor> | Heh. |
| 10:31 | <vektor> | Anyway, whatever. |
| 10:31 | <vektor> | Open soruce. |
| 10:31 | <vektor> | If you don't add in the feature, someone will. |
| 10:31 | <vektor> | So whatever. |
| 10:32 | <poptix_> | i don't trust Chutt not to break anything I add =p |
| 10:32 | <vektor> | Uh... |
| 10:32 | <vektor> | Then fork if necessary. |
| 10:33 | <poptix_> | i'd be interested in seeing anything you come up with in reference to the WinTV-PVR |
| 10:33 | <vektor> | Sure. |
| 10:33 | <poptix_> | fyi, you need to change a few things in it to make it work |
| 10:33 | <vektor> | But anyway, you really don't have any argument against Chutt. :) |
| 10:33 | <poptix_> | the tarball i sent |
| 10:33 | <vektor> | Ok, well, I'll figure it out whne I get the card. |
| 10:33 | <vektor> | I mostly wanted to see the driver just to understand what it's capable of. |
| 10:34 | <poptix_> | http://www.shspvr.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1378 |
| 10:34 | <poptix_> | it loads some of the i2c stuff from .txt files |
| 10:34 | <poptix_> | you'll need the correct data to do anything =p |
| 10:34 | <poptix_> | (it does that because it supports multiple chips, only one of which will be on your board) |
| 10:35 | <vektor> | Sure. |
| 10:35 | <vektor> | Anyway, good luck with your mythtv hacking. |
| 10:35 | <poptix_> | =) |
| 10:36 | <vektor> | You should probably start with something easier though. |
| 10:36 | <vektor> | Like, do a proper front-end to xine or mplayer or something to talk to the card directly, without using this other app. |
| 10:37 | <vektor> | (creating abstract APIs to the kernel/i2c driver code when necessary). |
| 10:37 | <vektor> | Good luck. |

| 12:20 | <-- Universe | has quit () |
| 12:20 | <Chutt> | poptix, are you looking at v4l2 or 1? |
| 12:21 | <poptix_> | probably 2, since it's up-and-coming |
| 12:21 | <poptix_> | what does MythTV support? |
| 12:21 | <Chutt> | just 1 for now, but i've got most of the code for 2 written already |
| 12:22 | <poptix_> | my goal is to be able to control the resolution/tuner/etc with a v4l device |
| 12:22 | <poptix_> | then i'll figure out how to transport the actual video |
| 12:23 | <Chutt> | and then have something simple to grab the encoded stream? |
| 12:23 | <Chutt> | that'd work |
| 12:24 | <poptix_> | probably a device that you can open and read the mpeg stream directly out of |
| 12:24 | <poptix_> | to hell with API's, there aren't any for this, and i'm not going to muck up v4l more to do it. |
| 12:25 | <poptix_> | consider it half-assed v4l. |
| 12:25 | * paperclip | is away: altitude |
| 12:25 | <Chutt> | that's how the mjpeg stuff works, so... |
| 12:32 | <poptix_> | of course, there won't be any applications to support it |
| 12:32 | <poptix_> | i might be able to easily modify mplayer to do it.. |
| 12:32 | <poptix_> | actually |
| 12:32 | <poptix_> | *lightbulb* |
| 12:32 | <poptix_> | that WinTV PVR-usb thing has basic support |
| 12:32 | <poptix_> | i wonder if it's mpeg |
| 12:32 | <Chutt> | it is |
| 12:33 | <Chutt> | the existing driver doesn't tune, iirc |

| 12:38 | <poptix_> | here we go |
| 12:38 | <poptix_> | a kfir based card driver that uses v4l |
| 12:39 | <poptix_> | wonderful. |
| 12:39 | * poptix_ | runs to do some stuff |
| 12:49 | <rkulagow> | chutt, i've been looking at mythfrontend and the setup program, seeing if there's any help text that can be added to mythfrontend setup, like setting up the "ESC" key for exit, and what the various modifiers do.. as far as I can see, (and this is just a quick look), mythfrontend doesn't use the setHelpText method like setup. Am I reading the code correctly? |
| 12:50 | <Chutt> | none of that help text is written |
| 12:50 | <Chutt> | it can use the setHelpText() stuff the same way |
| 12:50 | <Chutt> | a couple of the settings do |
| 12:51 | <Chutt> | i think the deinterlace one does |
| 12:52 | <Chutt> | and the prompt on exit settings |
| 12:52 | <rkulagow> | ah, ok, i see it now. grepped for the wrong stuff. |
| 12:55 | <rkulagow> | ok, so if I add "setHelpText" in the public for AllowQuitShutdown with the appropriate help text in globalsettings.cpp it'll work automagically? |
| 12:55 | <Chutt> | yup |
| 12:55 | <Chutt> | err |
| 12:55 | <Chutt> | wait |
| 12:55 | <rkulagow> | sanding by... |
| 12:55 | <mdz_> | i added help text in a couple of the frontend dialogs |
| 12:56 | <rkulagow> | "sanding". too much home improvement lately... |
| 12:56 | <Chutt> | after all the 'addSelection()' calls |
| 12:56 | <Chutt> | you just add 'setHelpText("blah blah blah");' |
| 12:56 | <Chutt> | and it'll work |
| 12:56 | <Chutt> | to use allowquitshutdown as an example |
| 12:56 | <rkulagow> | right, that's what I thought. mind if i start working on that sort of stuff? |
| 12:57 | <Chutt> | not at all =) |
| 12:57 | <Chutt> | that all needs to get done before 0.8 |
| 12:57 | <rkulagow> | ok, so in the allowquitshutdown, there's the setlabel, the 5 addselections, and then i can put in the setHelptext, correct? |
| 12:57 | <Chutt> | yup |
| 12:57 | <Chutt> | all the other settings are that way, too |
| 12:58 | <rkulagow> | ok. how many characters do i have for help text before something bad happens? |
| 12:58 | <Chutt> | i dunno =) |
| 12:58 | <mdz_> | more than I thought would fit |

| 13:04 | <rkulagow> | Chutt, do you mind ESC being the default, rather than a configurable option? Knowing how much users read docs, it might be easier to have a default that does something, rather than buried three pages deep in the mythfrontend setup... |
| 13:04 | <rkulagow> | (meaning to exit out of the program) |
| 13:04 | -!- | nevertheless is now known as ntl|afk |
| 13:05 | <Chutt> | i'd rather not have escape be the default |
| 13:05 | <rkulagow> | OK. |
| 13:05 | <Chutt> | you don't want to accidently exit out of everything on a dedicated box |
| 13:11 | <rkulagow> | hopefully this will paste in without crashing Trillian: |
| 13:11 | <rkulagow> | |
| 13:11 | <rkulagow> | class AllowQuitShutdown: public ComboBoxSetting, public GlobalSetting { |
| 13:11 | <rkulagow> | public: |
| 13:11 | <rkulagow> | AllowQuitShutdown(): |
| 13:11 | <rkulagow> | GlobalSetting("AllowQuitShutdown") { |
| 13:11 | <rkulagow> | setLabel("System shutdown"); |
| 13:12 | <rkulagow> | addSelection("No exit key", "0"); |
| 13:12 | <rkulagow> | addSelection("ESC", "1"); |
| 13:12 | <rkulagow> | addSelection("Control-ESC", "2"); |
| 13:12 | <rkulagow> | addSelection("Meta-ESC", "3"); |
| 13:12 | <rkulagow> | addSelection("Alt-ESC", "4"); |
| 13:12 | <rkulagow> | setHelpText("Mythtv is designed to run continuously. If you wish, " |

| 13:12 | <rkulagow> | "mythtv."); |
| 13:12 | <rkulagow> | }; |
| 13:12 | <rkulagow> | }; |
| 13:12 | <rkulagow> | how does that look? |
| 13:12 | <Chutt> | just fine |
| 13:12 | <rkulagow> | (i re-ordered the selections, and expanded the text a little) |
| 13:13 | <Chutt> | well |
| 13:13 | <Chutt> | if you reorder the selections, you'll have to modify the code elsewhere |
| 13:13 | <rkulagow> | i've got to check that the order doesn't impact other stuff. |
| 13:13 | <rkulagow> | (you type faster than i do) |
| 13:13 | <Chutt> | heh |
| 13:13 | <Chutt> | well |
| 13:13 | <Chutt> | actually |
| 13:14 | <Chutt> | just reorder it |
| 13:14 | <Chutt> | but keep the numbers after the text the same as before |
| 13:14 | <Chutt> | so "No exit key" would be "4" still |
| 13:14 | <Chutt> | that should work |
| 13:16 | <rkulagow> | ok, so now it looks like this: |
| 13:16 | <rkulagow> | |
| 13:16 | <rkulagow> | class AllowQuitShutdown: public ComboBoxSetting, public GlobalSetting { |
| 13:16 | <rkulagow> | public: |

| 14:44 | <Chutt> | hey |
| 14:44 | <Chutt> | how's it going? |
| 14:45 | <vektor> | Not bad. |
| 14:45 | <vektor> | How about you? |
| 14:45 | <vektor> | Happy new year. |
| 14:45 | <vektor> | BTW, european frequency tables suck ass. :) |
| 14:45 | <Chutt> | and the silly way they setup their tvs, too |
| 14:45 | <vektor> | Do you know how they setup their TVs? |
| 14:46 | <Chutt> | well, i suppose if you only get 4 channels |
| 14:46 | <vektor> | I'm thinking the best way we can attack this is to download a PDF manual for a Sony TV from europe. :) |
| 14:46 | <Chutt> | heh |
| 14:46 | <Chutt> | apparently, the tv scans for channels, and the user maps the channels it finds to a single button on the remote |
| 14:46 | <vektor> | Yeah. |
| 14:47 | <Chutt> | at least in the uk |
| 14:47 | <vektor> | There's actually a reasonable description of a possible solution in the DX8 docs. |
| 14:47 | <vektor> | Like, Microsoft of course found the same problem etc. |
| 14:47 | <vektor> | Their solution is quite silly too. |
| 14:47 | <Chutt> | someone almost finished support for that back in august or something for mythtv |
| 14:48 | <Chutt> | what'd ms do? |
| 14:48 | <vektor> | Well, they have their tuner frequencies. |
| 14:49 | <vektor> | And then if none of them work, they have a master table of all known frequencies. |
| 14:49 | <vektor> | Even ones that they've seen in 'the wild' but aren't on any lists. |
| 14:49 | <vektor> | And they just use that and scan from that. |
| 14:51 | <Chutt> | some guy said something on my mailing list about how he can't understand how we can just refer to things by channel number |
| 14:51 | <Chutt> | since there's a limited number of channels, and how can we transmit different channels on the same numbers without interference |
| 14:51 | <vektor> | Ahahahaha. |
| 14:52 | <vektor> | Yeah, um, cable rocks that way. |
| 14:52 | <nevertheless> | I had those problems too (here in germany), my solution was to change the frequencies to my needs, but thats no way for the public :-) |
| 14:52 | <vektor> | Well, the other part of the MS solution is to give two names to any channel. |
| 14:53 | <vektor> | One is the frequency name, one is the channel assigned number/name. |
| 14:53 | <Chutt> | i've got it so that you can change how the up/down channel keys select the next channel |
| 14:53 | <vektor> | It's an annoying UI problem though to figure out what the user means. |
| 14:53 | <Chutt> | so you _can_ order things strangely there |
| 14:53 | <vektor> | This is why I'm going to try and emulate a european TV UI. |
| 14:53 | <Chutt> | vektor, but you better comment your code more, or else no one can work on it |
| 14:54 | <vektor> | What do you mean? :) |
| 14:54 | <Chutt> | just being sarcastic |
| 14:54 | <vektor> | I hope you don't mean my stupid frequencies.h |
| 14:54 | <Chutt> | =) |
| 14:54 | <nevertheless> | Chutt: you talk about commenting? ;-) |
| 14:54 | <vektor> | Oh ok. :) |
| 14:54 | <Chutt> | i've gotten a couple people bitching about the lack of commenting in my source lately |
| 14:54 | <vektor> | Ahahahahaha. |
| 14:54 | <vektor> | That's hilarious :) |
| 14:55 | <vektor> | Open source => users can comment my code. ;-) |
| 14:55 | <nevertheless> | oh :-) |

| 14:59 | <poptix_> | yeah |
| 14:59 | <poptix_> | hotkey, or auto? |
| 14:59 | <poptix_> | or option |
| 14:59 | <poptix_> | (for auto) |
| 15:00 | <Chutt> | i'd want it to be a hotkey, i think |
| 15:00 | <Chutt> | but either could work.. |
| 15:00 | <poptix_> | there were 3 choices =p |
