00:07 | <fulbert> | can anyone give me a pointer with a dual 250 card setup? I keep getting "wanted to record... but current state is 4" when two conflicting programs are set to record. |
00:14 | <Chutt> | fulbert, did you set up both cards? |
00:14 | <Chutt> | you'd get that if you didn't |
00:14 | <fulbert> | yeah, |
00:14 | <fulbert> | I can watch live TV on one while the other records, |
00:14 | <fulbert> | but two recordings fail |
00:14 | <Chutt> | weird |
00:15 | <fulbert> | I do note that I can't change channel on the one card with myth direct, I have to use up/down, I can't use numberpad or the menu to change channel. |
00:15 | <fulbert> | I checked, and both are set to the tuner. |
00:15 | <fulbert> | I have the same video source configured to them, should I made a second video source for my cable system? |
00:16 | <fulbert> | when I did that, and I setup two overlapping programs, it showed them as a conflict on the one card, so I changed to both the same video source. |
00:17 | <Chutt> | no, both should be the same source |
00:17 | <fulbert> | hmm |
00:17 | <fulbert> | yeah, it's not happy. |
00:17 | <Chutt> | is the second card set to that source properly? |
00:17 | <Chutt> | hmm |
00:17 | <Chutt> | can you do a dump of the capturecard and cardinput tables? |
00:17 | <fulbert> | yeah, odd thing is that video0 is the first card, and it's the one not working. |
00:18 | <fulbert> | the new card I added later, video1 is working. |
00:18 | <fulbert> | from the db? |
00:18 | <Chutt> | yeah |
00:18 | <Chutt> | know how? |
00:18 | <fulbert> | I could muttle my way with sql, but if you have a cut and paste ;-) |
00:19 | <Chutt> | run the 'mysql' program |
00:19 | <Chutt> | 'use mythconverg;' |
00:19 | <Chutt> | 'select * from capturecard;' |
00:19 | <Chutt> | 'select * from cardinput;' |
00:20 | <fulbert> | ok |
00:20 | <Chutt> | without all the single quotes, of course = |
00:20 | <Chutt> | err, =) |
00:20 | <fulbert> | only diff is in cardinput |
00:20 | <Chutt> | paste both in here, if you don't mind |
00:21 | <fulbert> | | 1 | /dev/video0 | /dev/dsp | /dev/vbi | MPEG | Tuner 0 | 48000 | linus | NULL | NULL | |
00:21 | <fulbert> | | 2 | /dev/video1 | /dev/dsp | /dev/vbi | MPEG | Tuner 0 | 48000 | linus | NULL | NULL | |
00:21 | <fulbert> | | 2 | 2 | 1 | Tuner 0 | | NULL | N | | 4 | |
00:21 | <fulbert> | | 3 | 1 | 1 | Tuner 0 | | NULL | N | | | |
00:21 | <Chutt> | hmm |

00:23 | <fulbert> | oh, you know what... |
00:23 | <fulbert> | hehe |
00:24 | <Chutt> | hm? |
00:24 | <fulbert> | I think the two times the clock rolled over to the start of recording... I was in the liveTV module... so I had a card in use... |
00:24 | <fulbert> | hehe. |
00:24 | <fulbert> | I was looking at wall clock.. server is using NTP time set for my cable provider... |
00:24 | <fulbert> | that could be it? |
00:24 | <Chutt> | possibly |
00:24 | <fulbert> | does it warn that a record is coming up and get you out of live? |
00:25 | <Chutt> | should, yeah |
00:25 | <fulbert> | mmm |
00:25 | <Chutt> | when you set up two overlapping programs, it doesn't show them as conflicting, right? |
00:25 | <fulbert> | nope. |
00:25 | <fulbert> | i see it saying it tried to start both, but it says the second one was in "state 4" |
00:26 | <Chutt> | that's just saying that it was recording already |
00:27 | <fulbert> | I setup another overlap to start on the half hour, and I'm out of live tv now. |
00:27 | <Chutt> | allright |

00:27 | <fulbert> | can I stop it while it's recording? |

00:28 | <fulbert> | ah |
00:28 | <fulbert> | mm |

00:29 | <fulbert> | well I'll give it a try when this fails then ;-) |
00:29 | <Chutt> | ok |
00:30 | <Chutt> | blah |
00:30 | <Chutt> | i should just unsubscribe from the mailing lists |
00:30 | <fulbert> | I wish I could se the bitrate per program. my analog cable looks like poop at all rates, but the digicable looks a lot better at high rate. chan >100=8Mb/s |
00:30 | <bline> | heh |
00:32 | <fulbert> | nope, it ignored the request to record the other program. |
00:32 | <fulbert> | don't even see it try to start that one. |
00:32 | <Chutt> | are you running the backend in verbose mode? |
00:33 | <fulbert> | nope, just in the fg with no opts. |
00:33 | <Chutt> | might be worthwhile to add a -v to the command line when you restart it |
00:33 | <fulbert> | I'll stop it when it's done with this recording and setup better. |
00:34 | <fulbert> | I'm just glad I fixed the debug=127 I had in modules.conf for the ivtv... when the drive got to 1% free.. hehe |
00:34 | <Chutt> | heh |
00:34 | <Chutt> | i've done that a couple times |
00:34 | <fulbert> | 10GB of log. |
00:34 | <fulbert> | I was happy. |
00:35 | <Chutt> | bline, you're on -users, right? |
00:36 | <bline> | yeah Chutt |
00:36 | <Chutt> | was i being confrontational or anything? |
00:36 | * bline | looks |
00:36 | <Chutt> | ray's reply |
00:37 | <Chutt> | should be the most recent message |
00:39 | <bline> | there was a bit of sarcasm in your questions |
00:39 | <Chutt> | well, yeah |
00:39 | <bline> | atleast one of them |
00:40 | <bline> | sarcasm is confrontational heh |
00:40 | <Chutt> | ah well |
00:41 | <bline> | I wouldn't say it was to the level he claims it was though |
00:42 | <Chutt> | i was a little annoyed that he's implying that the docs are useless |
00:42 | <Chutt> | well, he's more than implying |
00:43 | <Chutt> | and he called your mailing list archives crummy =) |
00:43 | <bline> | perhaps you should mention that, and ask that he post in the form of patches to the docs. |
00:43 | <bline> | didn't see that part |
00:43 | <bline> | just tell him to fuck off then |
00:44 | <Chutt> | "They do have problems 'finding' the explanations, when they are scattered over 4 poorly-organized sources (an unsearchable HowTo; a mismash FAQ; a mailing list with a crummy search engine; and a few bits sprinked in the source download)." |
00:45 | <fulbert> | and the faq is down now ;-) |
00:45 | <Chutt> | yup |
00:45 | <bline> | Maybe he saw the "other" archive |
00:45 | <bline> | besides, he must be dence not to know he can use google to search it. |
00:49 | <bline> | Sounds like he wants step by step documentation |
00:49 | <Chutt> | then why would his entire set of 'how to get and install' stuff consist of a link to the tarball, and 'uncompress, make, make install' |
00:50 | <bline> | maybe he thinks its that simple heh |
00:50 | <fulbert> | are you guys working on myth docs? |
00:50 | <Chutt> | me? no |
00:51 | <Chutt> | i don't touch the docs |
00:51 | <Chutt> | someone on the mailing list was working on a 'beginner's faq' |
00:51 | <Chutt> | and asked for comments |
00:51 | <Chutt> | so i commented on it |
00:51 | <Chutt> | and he got all hostile and defensive |
00:52 | <fulbert> | ah yeah, I saw that, the thread on the faq. |
00:52 | <fulbert> | I ignored it after 2 or 3 posts though |
00:52 | <Chutt> | i'm really tempted to just unsubscribe from -users |
00:52 | <bline> | I like to see the libs interfaces documented =) |
00:52 | <fulbert> | heh, it's a lot of noise. |
00:52 | <Chutt> | bline, maybe when it stops changing |
00:52 | <fulbert> | one more "what hardware" post... |
00:53 | <bline> | I don't think it would be a Good Thing [TM] if Chutt unsubscribed to his own list |
00:55 | <fulbert> | chutt == isaac? first time in chan for me. |
00:56 | <Chutt> | yup |
00:56 | <fulbert> | ah, well, hello and thanks! |
01:02 | * bline | chimes in |
01:04 | <fulbert> | ok, now after backend reload it's recording from both sources it seems I have nuv's with the right times, and they are both growing |
01:04 | <Chutt> | cool |
01:05 | <fulbert> | now let's hope the nic holds up to two streams at 12Mb/s |
01:05 | <Chutt> | are you using the release or cvs? |
01:05 | <fulbert> | I have cvs from 24th. |
01:06 | <Chutt> | from before or after my scheduler changes? |
01:06 | <fulbert> | well, the gigE port shows 20Mb/s for a 1min ave... cool. |
01:06 | <Chutt> | if you know =) |
01:06 | <fulbert> | I converted to nfs last night to |
01:09 | <Chutt> | that whole idiosyncratic thing pissed me off, too |
01:09 | <Chutt> | guess i'm just easily annoyed =) |
01:10 | <bline> | heh |
01:11 | <bline> | Was I question too confrontational? |
01:11 | <Chutt> | hehe |
01:11 | <bline> | s/I/my/ |
01:11 | <Chutt> | do you normally have the gossamer threads bit as your sig? |
01:11 | <bline> | yeah |
01:12 | <Chutt> | it would have been if you had added that specially |
01:12 | <bline> | nope, you can check my other posts =) |

01:20 | <extremis> | Chutt: do you know anyone using an echostar 6000 receiver? |
01:20 | <Chutt> | nope |
01:20 | <tmk> | that's a fun word |
01:20 | <extremis> | I've been doing quite a bit of reading and have had little success in getting lirc to send the write signals |
01:21 | <Chutt> | tmk, this guy's writing a 'beginner's faq' and being rather insulting over the whole thing :( |
01:21 | <tmk> | :< |
01:21 | <tmk> | beginners need love, not bitterness |
01:21 | <Chutt> | now he says it's turning into a fight, and he's going to stop work on it |
01:22 | <tmk> | that's what sucks about volunteer work |
01:22 | <tmk> | everyone thinks their time is really valuable |
01:22 | <tmk> | which it is |
01:22 | <Chutt> | my time's more valuable than his =) |

01:23 | <tmk> | man the more external programs use my api |

01:23 | <bline> | saw that post by james did you? |
01:23 | <tmk> | yeah |
01:23 | <tmk> | and fixed it i might add |
01:23 | <tmk> | well in theory |
01:23 | <bline> | I think all the codec stuff should move to that,,, |
01:24 | <tmk> | which |
01:24 | <Chutt> | separate ioctls? |
01:24 | <Chutt> | well, same ioctl, different params |

01:24 | <tmk> | +k |
01:24 | <bline> | :) |
01:24 | <tmk> | nah i implemented v4l2 menu |
01:24 | <mechou> | it just amazes me how many people dont *carefully* read the docs. |
01:25 | <mechou> | they expect everything to be handed to them on a silver platter |
01:25 | <Chutt> | all the docs were written by actual users |
01:25 | <Chutt> | which is very nice |
01:25 | <Chutt> | not very much of them are developer written |
01:25 | <mechou> | and sometimes these people ought to know better... |
01:26 | <fulbert> | the install and using docs from the docs link was usefull for me, though it did leave me with questions on a pvr 250 setup. |
01:26 | <fulbert> | a week of mailing list and I was running though ;-) |
01:26 | <Chutt> | heh |
01:26 | * tmk | notes that it was an audio problem |
01:26 | <tmk> | ;) |
01:26 | <Chutt> | did the 'I'd like to use a hardware mpeg-2 encoder' section work ok? |
01:27 | <fulbert> | well, that was version 2, I had one card working for a week or so now |
01:27 | <Chutt> | that's fairly step-by-step |
01:27 | <mechou> | that's prob cause pvr250 just got integrated to mythtv around that time... |
01:27 | <fulbert> | two cards was pushing my technical abilities. |
01:27 | <fulbert> | yeah, I kinda knew I was on the edge, and didn't expect it to work at all ;-) |
01:27 | <tmk> | fulbert: i'd recommend getting latest ivtv-cvs |
01:27 | <tmk> | there's some scaling fixes |
01:27 | <tmk> | if you don't plan on capturing at full-res |
01:27 | <fulbert> | I do as of the 25th. |
01:28 | <tmk> | this is as of 10 minutes ago :) |
01:28 | <fulbert> | ah ;) |
01:28 | <Chutt> | which _really_ means as of May 16th |
01:28 | <tmk> | get it at http://ivtv.sf.net |
01:28 | <tmk> | i put tarballs on the webpage |
01:28 | * tmk | smacks sf.net |

01:48 | <bbeattie> | is there a way to force remove programs from the database if the file on disk doesnt exist? |
01:49 | <tmk> | delete * from <table> where <field>="programname" |
01:49 | <tmk> | or something |
01:50 | <mechou> | sql: remove from recorded where title="programname" and subtitle="Programsubtitle"; |
01:50 | <moegreen> | delete from <table> where field="program name" |
01:51 | <bline> | could also touch the file and use myth to remove it... |
01:51 | <bbeattie> | how do I figure out the filename to touch? |
01:51 | <bbeattie> | it's all date/program stamped, |
01:51 | <fulbert> | try to delete it and look at output from backend -v |
01:51 | <bline> | chanelid_starttime_endtime.nuv |
01:54 | <mechou> | bline, how does myth actually remove it if the file gets touched? |
01:54 | <mechou> | is there a "cleaner" thread? |
01:54 | <bline> | unlink() I would guess |
01:55 | <bline> | I'd have to dig into the code to see.. |
01:55 | <mechou> | nah, I mean high level... |
01:56 | <mechou> | I'm just not familiar w/ "trick" you're suggesting... |
01:56 | <Chutt> | the reason it's not deleting it now is because the file doesn't exist |
01:56 | <bline> | mechou: I was suggesting he delete it from the delete interface, I assumed he was refering to a movie he recorded |
01:56 | <Chutt> | if you touch it, the file'll exist, then it can be deleted from the ui |
01:58 | <mechou> | gothcha, I somehow got confused, thought he was talking about a file that already exist.... |
02:01 | <tmk> | so i've got a few minutes to code |
02:01 | <tmk> | should i fix the audio whine |

02:18 | <bbeattie> | bline it's checked, has been, maybe it's a bad mp3 or something?.. anyway, after about 1k songs, it stops listing anymore.. I'll check into it more tomorrow |

11:23 | <thor> | or behaviour |
11:24 | <Peit> | no output from runnning mythTV on the front end |

11:26 | <Chutt> | if gdb worked, i could tell you what's wrong quite easily :p |
11:26 | <Peit> | same behaviour under evolution and kde |
11:26 | <thor> | it ain't the window manager |
11:26 | <Peit> | chutt i'm sure you could, that's why i've not given up on trying to get gdb to work |

11:28 | <thor> | you're absolutely certain you don't have an old libmyth and/or libmythtv lying around that is getting used at runtime ? |
11:28 | <thor> | ie. does gdb work on other code? |

13:37 | <tmk> | since it can do DVD playback |
13:37 | <Scrye> | oh that xbox? |
13:37 | <Scrye> | thought you were asking me |
13:37 | <tmk> | hehe non |
13:37 | <tmk> | sorry |
13:38 | <Conaz> | Yes, I believe that the xbox does use the nvidia drivers |
13:38 | <Conaz> | Although I didn't check to see for sure |
13:38 | <Conaz> | I just did the standard ed's debian install, and then jumped right into installing myth |
13:39 | <Conaz> | Right now I'm hacking away at the xboxir module to get it to work with other remotes (besides the standard xbox remote) |
13:39 | <tmk> | so the dvd remote does work? |
13:39 | <tmk> | with lirc or what |
13:40 | <Conaz> | It is actually a kernel module that interfaces the usb reciever |
13:40 | <jkolb> | Did you mod your xbox or use the savegame trick? |
13:40 | <Conaz> | It just translates the IR codes into keyboard presses |
13:40 | <tmk> | i see |
13:40 | <Conaz> | I actually modded my first one with the matrix chip |
13:41 | <jkolb> | Difficult to do? |
13:41 | <Conaz> | The kernel module is hard-coded for the xbox remote codes, so taht is what I'm working on now |
13:41 | <Conaz> | The matrix chip was a bit of a pain, but I think I got a mix of 1.1 and 1.0 parts in my refurb xbox |
13:42 | <Conaz> | So there was one contact point where the existing solder which had a little depression in it |
13:42 | <Conaz> | So the contacts from the matrix mod chip didn't fully make contact |
13:42 | <Conaz> | So I had to fill that in |
13:43 | <Conaz> | Once I figured that out as my main alignment problem things went pretty good |
13:43 | <Scrye> | I dont see the point of buying an Xbox just to break it |
13:43 | <Conaz> | Of course I'm not really a skilled kernel developer, so it is taking me awhile to figure out the ir kernel module |
13:44 | <Conaz> | define break? |
13:44 | <jkolb> | The box can still be used normally after installing the modchip, can't it? |
13:44 | <Conaz> | Yup |
13:44 | <Conaz> | The kids still play games on it |
13:44 | <Scrye> | I mean people who buy it just to use it for a machine |
13:44 | <Scrye> | nothing else |
13:45 | <jkolb> | For a Celeron 733 with good TV-Out, it is a cheap box. |
13:45 | <Scrye> | you can get cheaper |
13:45 | <Scrye> | i found 2U rackmount cases with tv-in with a pvr350 built in for about 200 |
13:45 | <Conaz> | Well, I purchased it because it looks like a standard device |
13:46 | <Scrye> | s/tv-in/tvout/ |

13:47 | <jkolb> | Oh, the tv-out is through the pvr? Then you don't get your regular screen on tv-out. |

13:51 | <Chutt> | it's nice that they include a processor slow enough to not be able to decode the output of the pvr-350 |
13:52 | <Scrye> | http://205.147.44.194/store/commerce.cgi?product=SolarPC |
13:52 | <Scrye> | Just thought you guys would like to see that |
13:53 | <Chutt> | heh |
13:53 | <Scrye> | they have faster motherboards |
13:53 | <Chutt> | i know |
13:53 | <Scrye> | youve seen that before then? |
13:53 | <Chutt> | even the newest nehemiah stuff is still borderline with large mpeg files |
13:53 | <tmk> | okok |
13:53 | <tmk> | i'm working on hw decoding |
13:53 | <Chutt> | heh |
13:54 | <tmk> | Chutt: hw decoding first or msp whine |
13:54 | <Chutt> | whine :p |
13:54 | <tmk> | haah |
13:54 | <Chutt> | i really don't mind not having hw decoding |
13:54 | <tmk> | damn |
13:54 | <tmk> | ya it's more work for you |
13:54 | <Chutt> | 480x480 at a 4.5/6 works well on my m10000 |
13:54 | <Chutt> | looks good on the tv |
13:54 | <Scrye> | I have a dxr2 hardware dvd-decoder |
13:54 | <tmk> | latest cvs fixes the jittering bug FYI |
13:54 | <Chutt> | that's only in pal |
13:54 | <Chutt> | no? |
13:54 | <tmk> | dunno |
13:54 | <tmk> | perhaps |
13:55 | <tmk> | but if people complain |
13:55 | <Chutt> | never saw it here |
13:55 | <Chutt> | i just got an email about the i2c warning in the driver |
13:55 | <Chutt> | to the list |
13:55 | <tmk> | lovely |
13:55 | <jkolb> | Scrye: The cheap systems are missing at least hard drives and power adapters. |
13:58 | <Scrye> | yeah i just noticed that too |
13:59 | <jkolb> | And XBoxes are down to $180 |
13:59 | <Scrye> | Ive got so much crap around here that i dont have to buy harddrives and stuff |
13:59 | <jkolb> | Heh. |
13:59 | <tmk> | my roommates have an xbox |
13:59 | <tmk> | be cool to use that as a frontend |
13:59 | <tmk> | i'd have to buy a hackable game though :/ |
14:00 | <Scrye> | I just put together my box and the only thing i had to buy was a tvcard |
14:00 | <Scrye> | which i got paid for by someone who owed me a tv card |
14:00 | <tmk> | hehe |
14:00 | <Scrye> | tmk : rent one |
14:00 | <Conaz> | I got my refurb xbox for $149 |
14:00 | <tmk> | i can only rent it for so long |
14:00 | <Scrye> | use that online system |
14:00 | <tmk> | i'll want to use the xbox for more than a weekend |
14:00 | <Scrye> | its a one time hack |
14:00 | <tmk> | eh? |
14:00 | <tmk> | ooh |
14:01 | <tmk> | tell me more |
14:01 | <Scrye> | I dont know the full details |
14:01 | <Scrye> | but it has somthing to do with an overflow of a save game |
14:01 | <tmk> | yeah i saw some stuff bout that |
14:01 | <Scrye> | and you just have to savethe game once to the hd |
14:01 | <tmk> | didn't think it was permanant |
14:01 | <Scrye> | then when you go to reload it it roots the system |
14:01 | <tmk> | can you get back to xbox mode? |
14:01 | <Scrye> | as far as i know |
14:01 | <tmk> | thx |
14:02 | <Scrye> | I know its a one-time rental though |
14:02 | <Scrye> | after that its second hand knowlege |
14:02 | <Scrye> | knowledge |
14:03 | <jkolb> | It seems that you get an option to 'run linux' when you go to load a savegame. According to xbox-linux.sf.net. |
14:03 | <Scrye> | 007linux exploit (memory stick or swapped hard disk with the hacked savegame and the Xbox-Linux-signed bootloader XBE), and you'll get the Item "Run Linux" when loading a savegame. |
14:04 | <Scrye> | seems as though someone hacked a key too |
14:04 | <Conaz> | I wonder if you have to load the 007 savegame, or any save game |
14:04 | <tmk> | but must you have 007 always |
14:04 | <jkolb> | Or Mechassault. |
14:06 | <Conaz> | That is what I thought, which is why I purchased the mod-chip, since I want it to always boot to linux first |

14:09 | <Scrye> | How wide is an xbox? |
14:09 | <Scrye> | ugh that is a stupid question i can just look it up |
14:09 | <Conaz> | Slightly wider than 2 cdroms side by side :) |
14:13 | <Scrye> | I think that the x-box emulator needs some press |

14:37 | <just1nux1> | btw, you can play the mpeg-2 nuv files directly from the xbox if its shared through samba without running linux. xbox media player works just fine...no fancy myth menu of course. |
14:37 | <Chutt> | they're just mpeg2 files, i didn't bother to change the code that creates the file names for them |
14:37 | <Chutt> | they're not really .nuv files =) |
14:38 | <just1nux1> | yeah, i know that, but you never know if an app will be confused by an incorrect extension. |
14:38 | <Chutt> | true |
14:40 | <Scrye> | my media player wont play .nuv |
14:40 | <just1nux1> | no, not true nuv, but you can make them avi's and it'll play them |
14:41 | <Scrye> | with a reencoder? |
14:42 | <just1nux1> | not really reencoding, just pulling the video and audio out of the nuv container and dropping them into an nuv. which doesnt take much effort. |
14:42 | <just1nux1> | i mean avi |
14:44 | <just1nux1> | eventually i'll probably get linux on mine, but I've been waiting until someone else got all the kinks worked out and posted a tutorial or something. :) |
14:44 | <Scrye> | mplayer .90rc5 has built in support for nuv |
14:44 | <Scrye> | excellent. I have .90rc5 |
14:45 | <just1nux1> | i think xbox media player actually does support nuv, but (and chutt correct me if im wrong) but myth doesnt use a standard nuv. |
14:46 | <just1nux1> | so mplayer needs a patch to play them...unless something has changed recently. |
14:48 | <Scrye> | mpcodecs: NUV _en_coding support (mencoder |

14:48 | -!- | LeonIV [~leoniv@168.179.146.218] has joined #mythtv |

14:49 | <Chutt> | and yeah, i've modified things a bit |
14:49 | <Chutt> | made it more flexible, mainly |
14:49 | <Scrye> | ok.. can you tell me where this patch is? |
14:49 | <Scrye> | im googling for it all i can find is people complaining about it |
14:50 | <Chutt> | there's a link in the mythtv howto |
14:50 | <Chutt> | very first bit of the last section |

15:33 | <mechou> | Chutt, were you saying earlier that the solarPVR doesn't have enough CPU ommph to decode mpeg (w/pvr350)? What happens exactly, jittery playback & dropped frames? |
15:33 | <mechou> | oops meant w/o pvr350 |
15:34 | <mdz> | hmm, I wonder why google doesn't find the patch |
15:34 | <mdz> | "mplayer mythtv" does find the right section in the HOWTO on the first page of results though |
15:36 | <Chutt> | mechou, well, i have a nehemiah-based epia-m -- which, by all benchmarks i've seen, is about twice as fast as a previous via chips used on the epia boards |
15:36 | <Chutt> | this is a 1 ghz chip, and it's approximately as fast as a p3-500 that i have |
15:37 | <mechou> | hmm, that *is* borderline... |
15:37 | <Chutt> | and if _that_ chip is twice as fast as the older variants |
15:38 | <Chutt> | this is the first one that's been able to play back dvds with any semblance of smoothness, by all accoutns |
15:38 | <mechou> | but I thought that platform supposed to have some special (SW) mpeg decoder?.... |
15:38 | <Chutt> | there's a hardware mpeg decoder that as yet doesn't have linux drivers |
15:39 | <Chutt> | but, yeah, that would help quite a bit |
15:40 | <mechou> | and I guess via is trying to impress somelinux driver dude to erite a driver for it? |
15:40 | <Chutt> | they've got a driver |
15:40 | <Chutt> | but it's binary only, unreleased, etc |
15:41 | <mechou> | sounds like a pita |
15:41 | <Chutt> | basically |
15:41 | <Chutt> | i'd really think it'd be a better option to buy a slower celeron |
15:41 | <Chutt> | use a micro-atx board or whatnot |
15:41 | <Chutt> | would just be slightly larger, use slightly more power |
15:42 | <Chutt> | probably wouldn't be any louder, though |
15:42 | <Chutt> | when compared to a mini-itx |

20:13 | <extremis> | they behave the same way for rx |
20:13 | <extremis> | rather, either |

20:22 | -!- | poptix_ [poptix@precious.net] has joined #mythtv |
20:22 | <just1nux> | chutt: with the recording profiles, what happens if the profile is set to use HW encoding but the HW encoder isnt free at the time of the record? |
20:22 | <extremis> | well, I'm frustrated. My mthtv box is useless until it can tell my receiver to change its channels |
20:22 | <mechou> | so what dis jason miller have to say when you emailed him for advice? |
20:23 | <Chutt> | just1nux, with a pvr-250? |
20:23 | <mechou> | s/dis/did |
20:23 | <just1nux> | yeah |
20:23 | <Chutt> | just set it up for the analog card properly |
20:23 | <srl> | Chutt: These games run fine if I run them from the command line :( |
20:23 | <extremis> | mechou: I have not yet |
20:23 | <Chutt> | you don't need to set up a recording profile for the pvr card |
20:23 | <just1nux> | im thinking ahead...since you will eventually right? |
20:23 | <Chutt> | it just takes the width/height out, and discards the rest of the profile |
20:24 | <Chutt> | eventually, i'm going to have to have per-capture card profiles |
20:24 | <mechou> | any particular reason, since you've been asking #mythtv for at least the last three days... |
20:25 | <just1nux> | and no 'per recording' profile? |
20:25 | <Chutt> | you can already do per-recording stuff |
20:25 | <just1nux> | not for the pvr-250 |
20:26 | <mechou> | ext, seems to me you're in a box, maybe ought to get some expert help, if you know what I mean? |
20:26 | <Chutt> | well, you could change the resolution =) |
20:26 | <just1nux> | bah.. |
20:26 | <extremis> | mechou: yeah , I just emailed jason |
20:26 | <Chutt> | i suppose it'll have to be able to check if the recording's profile works with the card, eventually |
20:27 | <Chutt> | srl, still compiling :p |
20:27 | <srl> | Chutt: Alright :) |
20:28 | <just1nux> | ok. thats what i figured. just something i was thinking about. almost need a universal quality setting that just translates itself to whatever recording type is used. |
20:28 | <Chutt> | yeah |
20:28 | <Chutt> | maybe like 3 or 4 quality levels could get defined |
20:28 | <Chutt> | for each type of card in the system |
20:29 | -!- | choenig [] has quit [Remote closed the connection] |
20:29 | <just1nux> | that might make more sense, especially for those non-tech people who dont care what type of recording it is, jus that its high low medium quality, etc. |
20:31 | <tmk> | Chutt: you haven't implemented any of the bitrate settings yet have you? |
20:31 | <Chutt> | nope |
20:31 | <Chutt> | i don't like the big struct o options |
20:31 | <thor> | and no matter what settings you choose, someone will complain that they should be changed ;-) |
20:31 | <Chutt> | 'specially since you're still changing things around |
20:31 | <tmk> | what do you like? individual ioctls? |
20:31 | <Chutt> | yeah |
20:31 | <tmk> | you don't like v4l much then do ya |
20:31 | <Chutt> | i went over that on the ivtv list a while back, remember? =) |
20:32 | <Chutt> | eh |
20:32 | <Chutt> | most of it's fine |
20:32 | <thor> | and then if you change it so that people can set everything, others will complain it's too complicated |
20:32 | <Chutt> | and small structs that you're not going to be adding/removing stuff from is also fine |
20:32 | <tmk> | the first thing you hvae to set is a big struct |
20:32 | <thor> | ;-0 |
20:32 | <tmk> | i think the codec stuff is pretty much done |
20:32 | <tmk> | only thing that may change is the audio |
20:32 | <tmk> | but i've made that all individual ioctls |
20:33 | <Chutt> | i haven't looked at any of your recent changes |
20:33 | <tmk> | heh, cause of the audio whine? |
20:33 | <Chutt> | pretty much |
20:34 | <tmk> | ok if i fix it, are we friends again? |
20:34 | <tmk> | :P |

22:41 | <yebyen> | but they left california this morning, arrived in indiana by 12:00 |
22:41 | <yebyen> | and left indiana at 2:46 |
22:41 | <yebyen> | so who knows if they'll deliver them tomorrow instead :) *hopes* |

22:43 | <brunes> | for anyone who was listning to me4 hrs ago.. |
22:43 | <extremis> | howfully there will be no distortion |
22:43 | <brunes> | when I switched to MPEG4 the problems went away... |
22:43 | <fulbert> | well, to start, most units can display 1080i at full res, unless you are talking about maybe dlp or lcos. |
22:43 | <yebyen> | extremis: i have it on like, a 20" set... |
22:43 | <yebyen> | hehe |
22:44 | <brunes> | so... somehow must have been related to the RTJpeg coded? |

23:18 | <fulbert> | lower the bitrate? |
23:18 | <yebyen> | isn't tv 640x480? what do you gain from going higher, heh |

23:18 | <FreddieD> | i WAS going at 44.1 heh |
23:18 | <fulbert> | I still get ghosting with the 250 at lower than 720x640 |
23:18 | <FreddieD> | oh i dunno, am i just wasting CPU and disk by going higher than 640x480? |
23:19 | <yebyen> | i think so :) |
23:19 | <fulbert> | err, x480 that is |
23:19 | <FreddieD> | do you turn off DNR? |

23:25 | <fulbert> | heh, I got that too. |
23:25 | <yebyen> | FreddieD: it doesn't crash if I get to the end of the buffer, it just skips every so often |
23:25 | <fulbert> | my original backend was trying to be a ultra5, but I gave up. |
23:26 | <fulbert> | what I need is a case to keep all this cool, I could bake with the exhaust of my frontend machine. |
23:26 | <FreddieD> | heh |
23:27 | <FreddieD> | do you guys know of a good looking ATX case, one that doesnt obviously look like a computer? :P |

23:27 | <Timon> | FreddieD: She'll get over it |
23:27 | <FreddieD> | haha |
23:27 | <yebyen> | you need a mini-itx machine that's fast enough to do mpeg2 decoding :) |
23:27 | <yebyen> | hehe |
23:27 | <FreddieD> | yeah the first time she needs to tape E.R. or something :P |

23:27 | <fulbert> | http://www.newegg.com/app/viewproduct.asp?DEPA=&submit=Go&description=atc%2D620 |
23:28 | <yebyen> | then just do all of your encoding on the backend or something, it should be able to handle it with those beefy shits |
23:28 | <FreddieD> | well, i actually have a DXR3 hardware decoder, it's just that mythtv doesnt support hardware decoders yet |
23:28 | <yebyen> | oh |
23:28 | <yebyen> | that would be a nice addition, yeah |
23:28 | <yebyen> | heh |
23:28 | <yussef> | im using alsa, and sound is only outputting to the left channel, is this normal? |
23:28 | <FreddieD> | i'd be on EASY street if the DXR3 was supported.. i could run it on a damn commodore 64 i think |
23:28 | <yussef> | only to the left channel* |
23:29 | <fulbert> | maybe the source is mono? |
23:29 | <yussef> | i didnt see anywhere to change that setting |
23:29 | <yebyen> | FreddieD: it can't be that much code, :) is it supported under linux? |
23:30 | <yebyen> | FreddieD: or the decoder on the pvr-350? i'm considering building a fanless mini-itx machine with a pvr-350, if I can get the hardware decoding |
23:30 | <fulbert> | better shot of the case: http://www.coolermasterusa.com/images/products/ATC-620-GX1_L.jpg |
23:30 | <fulbert> | guy at office grabbed one, looks nice on the A/V rack. |
23:31 | <fulbert> | the white lettering comes off with goof-off we found too ;-) |
23:31 | <yussef> | fulbert: is there a mythtv option to use stereo instead of mono? |
23:31 | <fulbert> | not that I know. my cable system only provides stereo on some stations, most of the basic cable is recorded in mono I find. |
23:32 | <yussef> | ic, but the mono signal is still output from both channels right? |
23:32 | <fulbert> | when I playback I believe so, checking. |
23:32 | <fulbert> | yes. |
23:33 | <yussef> | ic |
23:33 | <FreddieD> | yebyen: yeah the DXR3 has a linux driver for it, so i'd imagine the client code wouldnt be bad at all |
23:33 | <FreddieD> | that case looks awesome |
23:33 | <yebyen> | hmm |
23:33 | <yussef> | are you using btaudio direclty? because im routing thru my onboard sound |
23:33 | <FreddieD> | too bad it's micro-atx tho |
23:33 | <yebyen> | FreddieD: is the PVR-350's built in decoder just a DXR3? |
23:34 | <FreddieD> | yebyen: i have no idea, i only have a 250 |
23:34 | <yebyen> | oh :) |
23:34 | <yebyen> | heh |
23:34 | <Captain_Murdoch> | big issue with the dxr3 is getting the OSD and menus displayed on it. displaying the mpeg2 video would be easy. |
23:35 | <fulbert> | yeah, I am going to use a micro board for my production machine I think. Intel D865GLC |
23:35 | <fulbert> | slap a celeron in it, pull my nvidia card and both the PVR250s, all should be good. |
23:36 | <FreddieD> | Captain_Murdoch: do you think it would be difficult to have everything go out the conventional video, and just route the mpeg2 to the dxr3? |
23:36 | <Ripp> | dammit, anyone else get bit by gcc-3.3 last week? I can't get 3.2.3 to compile now! |
23:38 | <Captain_Murdoch> | FreddieD: I'm not sure if the dxr3 can do overlay. haven't tried it with mine. |
23:38 | <Captain_Murdoch> | still then you have the problem with the OSD |
23:38 | <Captain_Murdoch> | maybe, maybe not. |
23:38 | <Ripp> | bah I'm in the wrong d*mn channel again :p |

23:39 | <yussef> | is there some kind of faq for mythtv? i recently setup a box, and have a set or most likely FAQ |
23:40 | <Captain_Murdoch> | FAQ info is pretty much all in the howto on the mythtv.org website |
23:40 | <yussef> | ok |
23:42 | <yebyen> | heh |
23:42 | <yebyen> | so, you don't just want dxr3 support, you want dxr3 support done right |
23:42 | <yussef> | how does transcoding work. i have tho mythencode.pl script [tho havent used it yet] does one simply use that script, or are there ways to automate that process from within mythtv? |
23:45 | <yebyen> | there are some options in latest cvs, not sure how they work though |
23:45 | <Captain_Murdoch> | mythmkmovie might be better. search the mailing list for info and a URL for that. not automated within myth though, you have to run the script whenever you want to transcode something. |
23:45 | <yebyen> | something about "automatically transcode", not sure where it would get those settings |
23:45 | <Captain_Murdoch> | yebyen: I don't think he's talking mpeg2 -> mpeg4 .nuv files. I think he wants .avi or something. |

23:45 | <yebyen> | Captain_Murdoch: oh, is that what the automated transcoding does? :) |
23:45 | -!- | froggy19 is now known as FryGuy |
23:46 | <Captain_Murdoch> | yeah, transcodes between internal myth formats (ie, mpeg2 or rtjpeg to mpeg4 .nuv) to save space |
23:47 | <yebyen> | for all of those people whose processor is fast enough to encode rtjpeg but not mpeg4? |
23:47 | <Captain_Murdoch> | for people with slow backends using rtjpeg or people wanting to convert pvr-250 or dvb mpeg2 recordings to mpeg4. |
23:47 | <yebyen> | lol, i thought rtjpeg was more cpu intensive... |
23:47 | <Captain_Murdoch> | during playback I think yes. |
23:47 | <fulbert> | or to save space. |
23:47 | <yebyen> | Captain_Murdoch: oh, now it makes sense :) |
23:47 | <yebyen> | heh |
23:50 | <srl> | yebyen: Now you are in here too? |
