| 00:41 | <FreddieD> | neat.. 640x480 decodes with about 15-20% CPU idle time with my Athlon 750 |
| 00:43 | <fulbert> | what format? |
| 00:43 | <FreddieD> | pvr-250's hardware encoding |
| 00:43 | <FreddieD> | i forget the exact term |
| 00:43 | <fulbert> | mpeg2 |
| 00:44 | <FreddieD> | it's considered normal to get a "Not enough free buffers" message at the beginning, right? |
| 00:44 | <fulbert> | I sometimes see that, but I have two cards, not sure. |
| 00:44 | <FreddieD> | ah crap, nevermind.. "message repeated 49 times" :P |
| 00:44 | <FreddieD> | it seems to get bitchy when i drop to swap space :) |
| 00:45 | <fulbert> | I get ~35% on my P3 1GHz, and ~15% on my P4 1.8 with 720x480 mpeg2 from my 250 cards. |
| 00:45 | <fulbert> | yeah, it will be unhappy when it swaps I note. I had 256MB when I first built, but moving to 512 helped a lot. |
| 00:46 | <FreddieD> | i popped in 512 earlier that definitely helped |
| 00:46 | <FreddieD> | i think every so often tho it dips still |
| 00:46 | <FreddieD> | perhaps i should just run the database on a different box |
| 00:47 | -!- | Captain_Extremis [extremis@121-17.waldenweb.com] has joined #mythtv |
| 00:47 | <fulbert> | I have 512MB in a 1GHz P3 with dual cards now, and I don't seem to have any problems. I am using another machine as the backend though. |
| 00:48 | <Scrye> | i use a thunderbird 1200 w/ 512mb sdram and a quantum 20 gig drive. |
| 00:48 | <Scrye> | the quantum is sooooooooooo loud |
| 00:48 | <Scrye> | mythtv works so much better with seagate drives |
| 00:48 | <fulbert> | the load is driven high on the machine when both cards are recording, but it's all IO based, the CPU is near idle. |
| 00:49 | <FreddieD> | yeah it's awesome to see your CPU yawn during encoding |
| 00:49 | <fulbert> | I tend to find that seagate is louder that most other drives I have, but then again, I only have a handfull of IDE drives. I've been a scsi snob for too long I guess ;) |
| 00:49 | <FreddieD> | i think i'll move the DB to the back end |
| 00:49 | <Scrye> | what size seagate |
| 00:49 | <fulbert> | yeah, it's cool also to see 2MB/s being dumped to disc. |
| 00:49 | <Scrye> | since the 60 gig seagates with liquid bearings, they are by far the quietest |
| 00:50 | <Scrye> | i got a couple 80's in another box and even with long seeks they arn't that loud |
| 00:50 | <fulbert> | I have 2 maxtor 200GB ata drives, that are rather quiet, and I have a 20GB WD drive which is very loud, all are 7200 rpm. |
| 00:50 | <fulbert> | I have a 15K rpm scsi seagate in my workstation and it's very loud. |
| 00:50 | <Scrye> | must be nice to have money |
| 00:51 | <FreddieD> | wow.. the audio was playing at 48kHz even though I had it set to 32... you ever get that before? |
| 00:51 | <fulbert> | I yeah |
| 00:51 | <fulbert> | yeah, the audio is always listed at 48 from the 250 |
| 00:51 | <fulbert> | you are seeing the output from mplayer on the frontend? |
| 00:51 | <FreddieD> | yep |
| 00:52 | <FreddieD> | after i CTRL-C'ed it i was perusing |
| 00:52 | <fulbert> | I have my settings listing 48000 now, but when it was 32000 I was still getting 48000 printed from mplayer. |
| 00:52 | <fulbert> | I don't think it matters, I think the ivtv driver only does one rate. |
| 00:52 | <fulbert> | I could be wrong, but that's how it seems to me. |
| 00:52 | <FreddieD> | ah ok, no biggie then... i was just trying to see where i could shave unnecessary CPU decoding cycles |
| 00:53 | <mechou> | extremis, you there? |
| 00:56 | <fulbert> | anyone tweaked the 250's bitrate? I changed it with test_ioct but it does not seem to change what rate is used to record with. |
| 01:03 | <FreddieD> | Not I |
| 01:03 | <FreddieD> | so a 100mB lan connection should be plenty fast enough to allow a separate server for a backend? |
| 01:04 | <fulbert> | oh yeah. |
| 01:04 | <FreddieD> | my wheels are turning right now as to how i can put my back end on a piece of crap box since the encoder is hardware-based |
| 01:04 | <FreddieD> | this app is so freakin flexible, i love it |
| 01:04 | <fulbert> | right. I just used my existing nfs server for the backend. |
| 01:05 | <FreddieD> | NFS instead of SMB? |
| 01:05 | <Scrye> | why not just use a single box |
| 01:05 | <Scrye> | my 1200 with a normal tv card works fine |
| 01:05 | <FreddieD> | Scrye: im on an athlon t-bird 750 |
| 01:05 | <fulbert> | well, near my tv, I don't have to keep all the noise from the discs. |
| 01:05 | <Scrye> | then you should be fine |
| 01:06 | <Scrye> | I was running it fine on a dual-450 |
| 01:06 | <fulbert> | for one, and second I don't need a big honking pc case to hold/cool it all. |
| 01:06 | <FreddieD> | 640x480 runs at about 10-20% CPU idle time, and 720x480 goes from 0-10.. i was trying to see if i could dump the backend elsewhere and be able to run 720x480 with no probs |
| 01:07 | <fulbert> | yeah, that's more or less what I am going to do in my final system setup. |
| 01:07 | <FreddieD> | right now on 720x480 i hemmorage frames faster than a hemopheliac at a boxing match |

| 01:08 | <fulbert> | I have tested with 720x480 dual stream, over a 100Mb/s link to a nfs server which is also doing the database/mythbackend. |
| 01:08 | <fulbert> | really? I have a P3 1GHz and don't seem to have any problems with 720x480. |
| 01:08 | <FreddieD> | out of curiousity, why do you use NFS instead of SMB? |
| 01:09 | <FreddieD> | yeah i dunno... i dropped 50 frames in about 3 minutes at 720x480 |
| 01:09 | <tmk> | it's all about i/o |
| 01:09 | <Scrye> | nfs can be tuned well to large files |
| 01:09 | <fulbert> | well, I only have one windows PC to game on, so I don't really use any SMB. |
| 01:09 | <Scrye> | nfs is inherent to unix.. nfsv3 is quite fast |
| 01:09 | <fulbert> | nfs3 with a large window size I find to be faster too. |
| 01:09 | <Chutt> | smb has a 2GB limit to files. |
| 01:10 | <fulbert> | 8k blocks over GigE hauls ass ;-) |
| 01:10 | <FreddieD> | great reasons :) |
| 01:10 | <tmk> | we'll never need more than 640k |
| 01:10 | <tmk> | err |
| 01:10 | <fulbert> | heh |
| 01:10 | <tmk> | fulbert: with jumbo frames too |
| 01:10 | <tmk> | mmm |

| 01:14 | <Scrye> | oh i see |
| 01:14 | <fulbert> | my pbx (www.asterisk.org) at the house stops them from getting my phone to actually ring, but they still call. |
| 01:14 | <Scrye> | they make you give you your phone number and email address.. |

| 01:16 | <Scrye> | I use a cheapo avermedia |

| 01:17 | <tmk> | damn |
| 01:17 | <tmk> | guess i better fix thata |
| 01:17 | <tmk> | i thought it was just chutt with the dog-like hearing |
| 01:17 | <tmk> | ;) |
| 01:17 | <bline> | do the decoder framebuffer first :) |
| 01:17 | <fulbert> | I have cvs from last night on another machine, and it's also there I just noted. |
| 01:17 | <tmk> | nah chutt asked first |
| 01:17 | <tmk> | cvs from cvs |
| 01:18 | <tmk> | or cvs from tarball |
| 01:18 | <Chutt> | i asked several months ago |
| 01:18 | <fulbert> | cvs... I actaully got in. |
| 01:18 | <tmk> | indeed |
| 01:18 | <tmk> | that qualifies as 'first' |
| 01:18 | <tmk> | does it not? |
| 01:18 | <fulbert> | looking at history, I only had to login 27 times. |

| 01:19 | -!- | tmk is now known as nowhinehere |
| 01:20 | <bline> | heh |
| 01:23 | <mechou> | fulbert, your pbx, you using hw line card? |
| 01:24 | <fulbert> | yeah, I actaully am a reseller for digium, the ones making the Wildcard units. I have a T1 linecard in use right now. |
| 01:24 | <fulbert> | I was using a single port card for a long time though. the x100p model. |
| 01:25 | <mechou> | x100p, what's the going $? |
| 01:25 | <fulbert> | very low hardware requirements, my first test system was a celeron 300/128MB. |
| 01:25 | <fulbert> | x100p is $99. |
| 01:27 | <fulbert> | it's the lowest cost reliable way to get hang-up detection. some people have had luck with ISDN TA's that are supported in linux, or voice modems, but they lack disconnect supervision. |
| 01:27 | <mechou> | so how does a pbx actually recognize a telemarketer call? (besides caller id?) |
| 01:28 | <fulbert> | well it's not so much that it recognizes them, as much as I have an IVR (auto-attendand) which automaticaly answers and makes you enter an extension. (0 for the operator rings all the house lines). |
| 01:28 | <fulbert> | I have never had a telemarketer bother to dial an extension, that filters them right out. |
| 01:29 | <mechou> | ok, gotcha. |
| 01:29 | <fulbert> | there is also a software module called the somethingzapper which will do like the telezapper unti you can purchase does, it looks for deadspace and autodialer type traits and it will play the tones to make it look like a dead line. |
| 01:30 | <fulbert> | I never use it, the IVR answering has fixed all my problems, and it's fun (press 7 to hear a goat...) |
| 01:30 | * FryGuy | presses 7 |
| 01:30 | <FreddieD> | fulbert: you said that the ivtv forces encoding to 44.1kHz regardless of what myth states, right? |
| 01:30 | * fulbert | baaaa |
| 01:30 | <mechou> | do you think the sit tones actually work against telemarketer types? I mean they upgrade their autodialers too, eight? |
| 01:31 | <mechou> | s/eight/right |
| 01:31 | <fulbert> | freddied: yeah, seems to. |
| 01:31 | <fulbert> | mechou: I think it will for sometime. |
| 01:31 | <FryGuy> | you shouldn't have to buy something to stop telemarketers from calling |
| 01:32 | <fulbert> | they want to weed out numbers that are fax machines and the like. the zapper module can play the fastbusy/fax/disconnect message, or the "tri-tone", so it's pretty configurable. |
| 01:32 | <fulbert> | I agree. |
| 01:32 | <mechou> | I just record the sit tones on my answering machine, but I still get telemarketer calls... |
| 01:33 | <FryGuy> | well i don't really get many telemarkers at home |
| 01:33 | <FryGuy> | my dad's appartment gets a whole bunch, but he lives in utah |
| 01:34 | <fulbert> | yeah, I would not trust that device solution 100% to work, that's why I went to the ivr. my state has a lot of CLECs compeating for local phone service, I was getting upto 10 calls a day just being asked to switch phone cos.. it was unreal. |
| 01:34 | <FryGuy> | we get like 2 a day asking us to change to some kind of satellite |
| 01:34 | <FryGuy> | always leave messages on the answering machine |
| 01:36 | <fulbert> | I look at the mysql dump from my pbx to see who called and didn't hit a extension, it's fun to see the caller-id info for them all. |
| 01:37 | <FryGuy> | i don't have caller id :/ |
| 01:37 | <FryGuy> | are some of them real? |
| 01:37 | <fulbert> | yeah, but you get a lot of them that are "info, marketing", "save, youmoney" and stuff like that. |
| 01:38 | <mechou> | caller id rarely work for screening telemarketers. |
| 01:38 | <fulbert> | since so many of them are using large banks of lines on PRI, they can set their own caller-id info, most leave it blank, but it's funny to see their caller-id spam sometimes |
| 01:38 | <mechou> | telemareters use "out of area" or some such non-sense... |
| 01:38 | <fulbert> | "we, saveyoumore" |
| 01:39 | <fulbert> | well that's a limit of your local phone switch not getting the info from the remote switch. |
| 01:40 | <mechou> | hmm, learn something new every day.... |
| 01:40 | <fulbert> | many rural areas have switches that don't fully pass all the caller-id stuff down the raod, depending on where you are you may get a lot of out-of-area calls. |
| 01:40 | <mechou> | you're saying my local phone switch is probably "old" |
| 01:40 | <fulbert> | likely, yes. |
| 01:41 | <FryGuy> | it's funny to see the telco play both sides though |
| 01:41 | <FryGuy> | "get caller id to know who's calling to avoid telemarketers" |
| 01:41 | <fulbert> | it's even worse with things like the "privacy" manager the telcos sell. |
| 01:41 | <mechou> | yeah, what a scam... |
| 01:41 | <FryGuy> | "heretelemarketers, have your number blanked for a fee" |
| 01:42 | <FryGuy> | "customers, show even blank numbers for a bigger fee" |
| 01:42 | <mechou> | they're playing both sides of the street. |
| 01:42 | <fulbert> | SBC (ameritech) sells PRI access lines to telemarketers that can avoid the caller-id blocked privacy manager /they/ sell. |
| 01:43 | <FryGuy> | it's ridiculous |
| 01:44 | -!- | evil_alex [~Alex@203.97.230.217] has joined #mythtv |
| 01:44 | <Scrye> | that should be illegal |
| 01:44 | <fulbert> | you would think... |
| 01:44 | <fulbert> | I work with several CLECs in the area, and half the stuff SBC does should be illegal. |
| 01:45 | <Scrye> | the ILEC here killed off all the CLECS |
| 01:45 | <FryGuy> | stupid monopolies |
| 01:45 | <Scrye> | by only hiring incompetent workers heh |
| 01:46 | <Scrye> | the switchovers would go so bad and line quality / etc theyd go back to 'ole reliable' |
| 01:46 | <fulbert> | that's the new SBC policy here, they are telling the union installers that all the CLECs are the reason they are getting pink slipped, and that if they don't "slow it down" they won't have any jobs in 6 months. |
| 01:46 | <Scrye> | heh |
| 01:47 | <Scrye> | same thing here |
| 01:47 | <fulbert> | lost ordered, bad installs, workers that don't show up, working cutting lines on the NID... all a mess. |
| 01:47 | <Scrye> | most of the CLECs here are dead |
| 01:47 | <FryGuy> | what are CLEC's? |
| 01:47 | <Scrye> | hell AT&T canada is about to be bought by the local ILEC |
| 01:47 | <FryGuy> | and ILEC |
| 01:48 | <fulbert> | the state here is keeping them alive. SBC was so bad in the state, at one point about two years ago, a residential repair was running 6 weeks average... |
| 01:48 | <Scrye> | well albertas ILEC bought BC's ILEC and now they are western canadas ILEC |
| 01:48 | <Scrye> | which is buying AT&T which is just gonna be another monopoly |
| 01:48 | <fulbert> | it was insane, I had a line out at my moms house then, it was april and they gave me a june repair date. |
| 01:48 | <Scrye> | ILEC = incumbant local exchange carrier |
| 01:48 | <Scrye> | i dont know what the C in CLEC stands for |
| 01:48 | <fulbert> | competitave |
| 01:49 | <Scrye> | ILEC means they own the lines and stuff and have to give them at a good rate to the CLECS |
| 01:49 | <fulbert> | if I could only spell ;-) |
| 01:49 | <Scrye> | its the same with dsl here :/ |
| 01:49 | <Scrye> | the ILEC (telus) sells the actual line then another 'dsl provider' plugs into that line |
| 01:49 | <fulbert> | dsl is like that everywhere. the ilec's bought a law a few years ago. |
| 01:49 | <Scrye> | which all plugs into telus' 'CLEC DSLAM' (which is a piece of poo) |
| 01:50 | <FryGuy> | bleh |
| 01:50 | <Scrye> | then if they want to switch to telus DSL its literally a plug in the CO or wherever |
| 01:50 | <mechou> | fulbert, who makes the dslam in telus' case? |
| 01:50 | <fulbert> | SBC sells the CLES dsl at a rate 2$/mo lower than SBC sells it to customers here. |
| 01:50 | <fulbert> | no clue. |
| 01:50 | <FryGuy> | it shouldn't be allowed to use a monopoly to have bad service on purpose for the customers to save the bottom line from competetors |
| 01:51 | <Scrye> | i dont know who telus uses for thier DSLAM |
| 01:51 | <FryGuy> | that's what the ISP I work for has to deal with |
| 01:51 | <fulbert> | SBC is using all kinds of dslam gear, I've seen at least 6 vendors. |
| 01:51 | <Scrye> | they use 3com CPE's |
| 01:51 | <FryGuy> | they make almost $7/mo from SBC's DSL line |
| 01:51 | <Scrye> | when i was working a telco in Maine, we used the only bay networks DSLAM to ever make it out of thier office |
| 01:52 | <FryGuy> | with that they have to pay employees and all the other overhead |
| 01:52 | <Scrye> | no not bay networks |
| 01:52 | <FryGuy> | it's ridiculous |

| 01:52 | <Scrye> | thats it |

| 01:55 | <fulbert> | my local provider, time warner, just added a selection of 5 ISPs to provide data over their cable at least. |
| 01:55 | <bigguy> | FryGuy: depends on the cable isp |
| 01:55 | <Scrye> | with the DSL you can steal other peoples ip's |
| 01:55 | <Scrye> | with cable you get a dhcp lease once and they lock on to your mac address |
| 01:55 | <FryGuy> | that's not good |
| 01:55 | <Scrye> | then it wont bridge anything but your mac |
| 01:56 | <FryGuy> | i've had my ip from cable modem for a year |
| 01:56 | <fulbert> | I'm lucky, with my contacts at the CLECs I was able to avoid all that and I have a T1 run to the house, and I'm thankfull everyday ;-). |
| 01:56 | <Scrye> | ive had 3 ip's in 4 years |
| 01:56 | <Scrye> | T1's are horribly overpriced still |
| 01:56 | <bigguy> | how much that t1 cost you, fulbert ? |
| 01:56 | <mechou> | fulbert envy.... |
| 01:56 | <Scrye> | even just local loop |
| 01:57 | <Scrye> | T1 is just 192kb full duplex |
| 01:57 | <Scrye> | my cable modem is 8mb down 1mb up |
| 01:57 | <fulbert> | I only pay the loop, I own the cisco gear at both ends, that was part of my deal with the CLEC who let me get the loop at cost, $160/mo. |
| 01:57 | <fulbert> | it's a 14mile loop. |
| 01:57 | <bigguy> | Scrye: no cable or dsl in my area |
| 01:57 | <FryGuy> | well, T1's are gauranteed.. you're paying for someone to blame if something goes wrong |
| 01:57 | <fulbert> | my cable was faster, 3mb/512k, but I'll take a /24 of my own IP space and reliable service over the speed anyday. |
| 01:58 | <fulbert> | well, and 1.5async is nice too ;-) |
| 01:58 | <FryGuy> | of course one of my friends still says the telcos are over allocating if they are charging less than $100 for megabit+ access |
| 01:58 | <mechou> | fulbert, which state do you live in? |
| 01:58 | <Scrye> | all telcos oversell |
| 01:58 | <fulbert> | michigan. |
| 01:58 | <Scrye> | its a part of business |
| 01:58 | <Scrye> | we used to oversell 8-1 |
| 01:58 | <Scrye> | which is fairly good |
| 01:59 | <FryGuy> | well to some extent |
| 01:59 | <FryGuy> | i think my isp was going at like 15:1 for dialup |
| 01:59 | <Scrye> | modem oversell? |
| 01:59 | <FryGuy> | yes |
| 01:59 | <fulbert> | we ran 20:1 dialup with business, that's tight on residential. |
| 02:00 | <Scrye> | we guarunteed no-busys so we were always overprovisioned |
| 02:00 | <Scrye> | 8:! |
| 02:00 | <Scrye> | but we owned the local loop as a telco |
| 02:00 | <Scrye> | 8-1 |
| 02:00 | <FryGuy> | well, we gaurantee no busy signals too |
| 02:00 | <FryGuy> | whenever modem usage ever got above 90% they would go put more modems in the racks |
| 02:00 | <fulbert> | we were that way with data, but that's just because we were scamming off the university of michigan bandwidth on a 100Mb connection. |
| 02:00 | <Scrye> | 1 t1 usually could serve a full as5300 with 192 modems |
| 02:00 | <FryGuy> | i would watch the usage data. it was pretty cool |
| 02:01 | <FryGuy> | customers per modem i mean, not bandwidth |
| 02:01 | <Scrye> | FryGuy rs232 modems? |
| 02:01 | <fulbert> | we had old skool, couriers and portmasters ;-) |
| 02:01 | <Scrye> | or modem bank cards? |
| 02:01 | <Scrye> | i couldn't imagine having to do PSTN modems + pm2e's |
| 02:02 | <Scrye> | that would be INSANE cabling |
| 02:02 | <fulbert> | we converted to 5200/5300's later, but then the ISP market tanked and we stopped doing dialup ;-) and the phone calls ended. |
| 02:02 | <FryGuy> | i'm not technical. they were like 8 modems per card and you could put 10 or so cards in a 3u rackmount box |
| 02:02 | <Scrye> | FryGuy sounds like an AS5200 cisco |
| 02:02 | <FryGuy> | i think it was one "wire" for the whole box |
| 02:02 | <FryGuy> | i think it was cisco |
| 02:02 | <Scrye> | or even a USR total control |
| 02:03 | <FryGuy> | wait |
| 02:03 | <Scrye> | as5200 sucked when 96 modems were in them |
| 02:03 | <FryGuy> | that might be it |
| 02:03 | <Scrye> | they couldn't handle the pps |
| 02:03 | <FryGuy> | does hiper sound right? |
| 02:03 | <Scrye> | hyper? |
| 02:03 | <fulbert> | yeah, the 5200 had to slow of a cpu. |
| 02:03 | <FryGuy> | i think it was hiper |
| 02:03 | <Scrye> | no idea |
| 02:04 | <FryGuy> | i don't know where the modem reports are anymore |
| 02:04 | <Scrye> | try /mrtg |
| 02:04 | <Scrye> | heh |
| 02:04 | <FryGuy> | well we've moved from linux and gone windows based on almost everything |
| 02:04 | <FryGuy> | much to my dismay |
| 02:04 | <FryGuy> | went to a windows radius server recently |
| 02:04 | <fulbert> | we went from sun, to linux, to out of business ;-) |
| 02:05 | <FryGuy> | hehe |
| 02:05 | <Scrye> | fulbert heh for that isp i worked for -ditto |
| 02:05 | <FryGuy> | well we're still bringing in the dough |
| 02:05 | <Scrye> | god i pity anyone that ever had to use TACAS+ |
| 02:05 | <FryGuy> | but my boss doesn't undertand anything about the way things work :/ |
| 02:06 | <Scrye> | first thing i did when i got at that ISP was move from TACAS -> radius |
| 02:06 | <Scrye> | TACACS |
| 02:06 | <FryGuy> | i helped write the sql queries for our radius server |
| 02:06 | <FryGuy> | it's really cool the way the software works |
| 02:06 | <FryGuy> | except the windows box sucks ass |
| 02:07 | <fulbert> | we were mostly a hosting setup, dialup and access was a side product. |
| 02:07 | <Scrye> | the isp i run now is all commercial broadband |
| 02:07 | <FryGuy> | the ODBC connection randly borks |
| 02:07 | <Scrye> | odbc is junk |
| 02:07 | <FryGuy> | i agree |
| 02:07 | <Scrye> | has its use but its junk |
| 02:07 | <FryGuy> | i like php's method of directly connecting |
| 02:07 | <Scrye> | pear has a odbc like interface |
| 02:07 | <FryGuy> | well I wrote my own sql wrapper |
| 02:08 | <FryGuy> | a bit of overhead, but i like how it returns a 2d array |
| 02:08 | <fulbert> | someone talked our developers into using cold fusion. that was nightmare. |
| 02:08 | <FryGuy> | instead of having to call mssql_fetch_array |
| 02:08 | <Scrye> | you mean like *sql_fetch_array_ref? |
| 02:08 | <FryGuy> | i started out on cf actually |
| 02:08 | <fulbert> | I moved them all to php or java as soon as I could. |
| 02:08 | <fulbert> | we ran cold fusion on unix. their product was a mess. |
| 02:08 | <FryGuy> | i moved over to php 2 years ago |
| 02:08 | <FryGuy> | ya on unix it was terrible |
| 02:08 | <FryGuy> | which version? |
| 02:08 | <FryGuy> | 4.5 or 5 |
| 02:09 | <fulbert> | it would run 800MB in memory, and that was in 96 or so, when 1GB was a leg or more in cost. |
| 02:09 | <fulbert> | 2.1 |
| 02:09 | <FryGuy> | on windows boxes it wasn't bad at all |
| 02:09 | <Scrye> | hah |
| 02:09 | <FryGuy> | there was 2.1 on unix? |
| 02:09 | <FryGuy> | i thought 4.5 was the first unix release |
| 02:09 | <Scrye> | we had bad bad problems with cfengine on win32 |
| 02:09 | <fulbert> | we were users from 2.1 on windows up to 4.5, was the last we ran. |
| 02:09 | <fulbert> | I think we had 3 on solaris, that was the first unix. |
| 02:09 | <fulbert> | I have the box somewhere ;-) |
| 02:09 | <FryGuy> | it would get random memory leaks sometimes though |
| 02:10 | <FryGuy> | i still use the cold fusion studio text editor at work too |
| 02:10 | <fulbert> | it was a port emulated, there were all kinds of DLL's embeded in the .so's and it was a mess under unix. |
| 02:10 | <fulbert> | the editor was cool, many of the developers loved it. |
| 02:10 | <FryGuy> | at home i use homesite |
| 02:10 | <FryGuy> | too bad it still takes a while to load |
| 02:10 | <Scrye> | php is thankfully killing cf |
| 02:11 | <FryGuy> | and there are resource problems |
| 02:11 | <FryGuy> | well my boss didn't like php because it was free |
| 02:11 | <Scrye> | im the boss. |
| 02:11 | <fulbert> | yeah, cf and java is all we used at the end, we ran cf to support older customers. |
| 02:11 | <fulbert> | php and java that is. |
| 02:12 | <Scrye> | our whole automated ISP runs on 20k lines of java and 100k of php |
| 02:12 | <FryGuy> | well, i'm not that lucky :) |
| 02:12 | <FryGuy> | we use a crappy accounting software called platypus |
| 02:12 | <Scrye> | wrote mine |
| 02:13 | <FryGuy> | and the bosses don't like the way it works, and because they want it their way or it's wrong, we had to rewrite almost everything it does |
| 02:13 | <FryGuy> | so right now, the only thing the software is doing is the charges |
| 02:13 | <FryGuy> | it's ridiculous |
| 02:14 | <Scrye> | ive only still got to write an inventory management system then im done |
| 02:14 | <fulbert> | is there an iostat type app under redhat to show current disk io? |
| 02:14 | <FryGuy> | mainly the stuff I did was the trouble ticket system, and the other coder is more intimite with platypus |
| 02:15 | <Scrye> | we have a trouble ticket system integrated with our monitoring system |
| 02:15 | <Scrye> | so tickets are automatically generated on incoming call, or monitoring system event |
| 02:15 | <Scrye> | or manual entry |
| 02:15 | <fulbert> | we used rt and a customer monitor app. |
| 02:15 | <Scrye> | i looked at rt for all of 2 minutes |
| 02:15 | <FryGuy> | heh i wish it could be used on an incoming call |
| 02:15 | <fulbert> | s/customer/custom/ |
| 02:15 | <Scrye> | what a piece of trash taht is |
| 02:16 | <FryGuy> | our phone system is archaic |
| 02:16 | <FryGuy> | it's at least 15 years old |
| 02:16 | <Scrye> | eh |
| 02:16 | <Scrye> | heh |
| 02:16 | <Scrye> | callerid -> database lookup -> ticket |
| 02:16 | <FryGuy> | no caller id |
| 02:16 | <FryGuy> | and it doesn't create any events |
| 02:17 | <FryGuy> | so there's no way to create a ticket for them |
| 02:17 | <Scrye> | one of our radios misses a packet its logged heh |
| 02:18 | <FryGuy> | the way i'd like it to work is when someone calls in it'd create a ticket for them and it'd open it on the screen, and the ability to transfer a call to someone and have the ticket move with the call |
| 02:18 | <FryGuy> | but to transfer a call it has to be paged with the line number |
| 02:18 | <FryGuy> | it's really ghetto |
| 02:19 | <Scrye> | we have an event system that pops up on the extension |
| 02:19 | <Scrye> | you click on transfer to user |
| 02:19 | <Scrye> | user gets a event saying call for you on line x |
| 02:19 | <Scrye> | we need a unix based PBX to beable to automatically transfer calls to ring extensions |

| 02:22 | <Scrye> | hey fulbert how much does a quad channel fxs card cost? |
| 02:22 | <Scrye> | digium |
| 02:23 | <fulbert> | fxs or t1? |
| 02:23 | <fulbert> | the fxs card is ~300, the T1 1499 |
| 02:24 | <fulbert> | more cost effective to get a single t1 and a channel bank. |
| 02:24 | <fulbert> | unless you only need 4-8 fxs ports. |
| 02:26 | <Scrye> | i might be getting that backwards |
| 02:26 | <Scrye> | i always mix up FXS and FXO |
| 02:26 | <Scrye> | which one provides dialtone |
| 02:26 | <fulbert> | fsx is to plug in a phone device, dialtone. |
| 02:27 | <fulbert> | fxo is to take a ports line into the system. |
| 02:27 | <fulbert> | pots. |
| 02:27 | <fulbert> | man, I'm getting tired ;) |
| 02:28 | <Scrye> | yeah so fxs then |
| 02:28 | <Scrye> | we got like 10 phones |
| 02:28 | <Scrye> | so what would we use to interface say 12 phones to 4 pots lines |
| 02:28 | <fulbert> | you would want a single t1 card, and a channel bank with 4 fxo and 12 fxs ports. |
| 02:29 | <fulbert> | you dump the extensions to the fxs ports on the channel bank, the pots lines to te fxo and then dump the t1 out of the channel bank into the t1 card in the server. |
| 02:29 | <Scrye> | whats this channel bank you talk of |
| 02:29 | <fulbert> | the t1 channels can be split in software into x and o ports, and you are all set. |
| 02:30 | <Scrye> | an external piece of hardware? |
| 02:30 | <fulbert> | yeah. |
| 02:30 | <Scrye> | ok so how much for all the equip |
| 02:30 | <Scrye> | minus server of course |
| 02:31 | <fulbert> | channel bank is an ebay item for ~300-600, or new for ~1000-1800. |
| 02:31 | <fulbert> | then the single t1 card is 450 |
| 02:32 | <fulbert> | that channel bank can be split to whatever config you need, 24 ports total. |
| 02:32 | <Scrye> | USD? |
| 02:32 | <fulbert> | yep. |
| 02:34 | <Scrye> | so how does this channel bank thing work |
| 02:34 | <-- claybo | (~claybo@adsl-63-194-90-198.dsl.snfc21.pacbell.net) has left #mythtv |
| 02:35 | <fulbert> | ? it's a inverse mux |
| 02:35 | <fulbert> | it takes ds0, 64k chans and muxes it to a full t1. |
| 02:35 | -!- | mechou [] has quit [Remote closed the connection] |
| 02:36 | <fulbert> | it will have a amp (centronic like) connector on it, and you wire that to a 66block, punch the extensions and pots lines to it, and your all set. |
| 02:36 | <Scrye> | yeah i know what an amp is |
| 02:36 | <Scrye> | where does the linux box come in for transfering lines |
| 02:37 | <fulbert> | the asterisk software is a soft switch. when you pickup a phone, it generates the dialtone, if you dial a 9 to get an outside line, it bridges you to an outside line |
| 02:37 | <fulbert> | it does all the call routing, voicemail, and has a full scriptable ivr setup. |
| 02:38 | <fulbert> | there is a perl gateway (cgi like interface, called AGI, asterisk gateway interface) and you can script from a database and all. |
| 02:38 | <Scrye> | so you couldn't use a channel bank with asterisk? |
| 02:38 | <fulbert> | no, you do use them together. the channel bank provides the lines for asterisk to use. |
| 02:39 | <tmk> | hey chutt |
| 02:39 | <Scrye> | meh i'll read the asterisk howto |
| 02:39 | <tmk> | do you set NTSC mode when you start a recording |
| 02:39 | <tmk> | or only if it's pal do you change it |
| 02:39 | <fulbert> | #asterisk on on this server also... |
| 02:40 | <Scrye> | i dont like bugging developers heh |
| 02:40 | <Scrye> | I know how annoying it is for a noob to bug a developer |
| 02:41 | <fulbert> | lots of users hang there also. |
| 02:41 | <Scrye> | im a lurker |
| 02:41 | <FryGuy> | i've got my own project that have really annoying people bug me on how to get it working :/ |
| 02:42 | <Scrye> | whats your project |
| 02:42 | <fulbert> | they sell a developers kit which will get you a pci fxo card, and a usb fxs port for $150, you can use the fxo again later too. |
| 02:43 | <FryGuy> | it's a script that can complete multiple areas in diablo 2 unassisted |
| 02:43 | <FryGuy> | nothing like mythtv or anything :p |

| 11:30 | <FreddieD> | Is there a vid card that you recommend for this thing? |
| 11:30 | <fulbert> | for tv out? |
| 11:30 | <FreddieD> | yeah |
| 11:31 | <FreddieD> | i've been told the nvidia cards have very poor linux compatability |
| 11:31 | <fulbert> | I'm using a nVidia GF4 4200 with the CX25871 chip, and it looks great. |
| 11:31 | <fulbert> | the nvidia driver really seems to work quite well when compared to other vendors poor linux drivers. |
| 11:32 | <FreddieD> | Is the on-board video card memory pretty important you think? |
| 11:32 | <fulbert> | the nvidia one has full hardware acceleration, and it has overscan control for the tvout, important to get rid of the black space at the edge of the screen. |
| 11:32 | <fulbert> | no, you will not hit a res high enough that over 32MB will matter. |
| 11:32 | <fulbert> | the card I have happens to be a 128MB version, but the 64MB version is just as good. |
| 11:32 | <FreddieD> | I was considering a GeForce MX |
| 11:33 | <fulbert> | I have a 440 MX 64MB card I have not used yet, I undestand that with the latest drivers, as long as the card is supported, the tv out should be. |
| 11:33 | <fulbert> | before the CX25871 was thought to be "the" chip to have. |
| 11:33 | <FreddieD> | hmmm |
| 11:34 | <fulbert> | I guess the CX25871 can drive 1024x768 somehow, I'm using 800x600 for svideo when I was testing. |
| 11:34 | <vektor> | fulbert: Not really very useful if you're going to TV output though. |
| 11:35 | <fulbert> | right. |
| 11:46 | <poptix> | why would you push anything >800x600 via svideo? |
| 11:46 | <poptix> | hell, i don't like above 720x480 |
| 11:47 | <fulbert> | ? I was screwing around trying to see what the best looking output I could get to my hdtv was. |
| 11:47 | <fulbert> | my tv won't sync anything more than 640x480 on it's dvi in from the pc for some reason. |
| 11:47 | <poptix> | if it's hdtv, then you need something that isn't normal format |
| 11:48 | <fulbert> | I find the svideo from my geforce looks better... which is odd. |
| 11:48 | <fulbert> | well I tried 1280x720 (720p) and others, but it will not sync. |
| 11:48 | <fulbert> | seems that most of the makers are not hip to the idea of a PC driving the display and they all assume we want to connect a laptop to give a powerpoint... |
| 11:50 | <fulbert> | I hope one day to have a tv I can drive at native 720p, that would be great. I might play with a VGA/DVI to component video converter see if I can get it to sync at 480p that way, but I'm not sure I care enough to spend more money on it. |

| 21:47 | <yussef> | anyone using a soundblaster live for audio on their myth box? |
| 21:48 | <yussef> | ive been able to get audio working with onboard via82xx, but not with an sblive, following the directions on the mythtv docs |
| 21:52 | <ahbritto> | yussef: I was, am not, but will again. |
| 21:52 | <yussef> | ic |
| 21:52 | <yussef> | any special tricks you had to do to get alsa audio working with mythtv? |
| 21:53 | <ahbritto> | I just specified: /dev/dsp |
| 21:53 | <ahbritto> | So, I did not turn on MythTV alsa support. I don't even know where the option is... |
| 21:53 | <yussef> | ah ic |
| 21:53 | <yussef> | so you're using oss, and it works fine? |
| 21:54 | <ahbritto> | I was using ALSA oss emulation, yes it worked fine. |

| 21:56 | <yussef> | what os are you running? |
| 21:56 | <ahbritto> | Gentoo |
| 21:57 | <yussef> | ic. i initially chose that for my myth box, but got frustrated because so many things seem specific to gentoo |
| 21:57 | <ahbritto> | In the long run, gentoo will be the easiest to manage and upgrade. |
| 21:58 | <yussef> | most likely :) |
| 21:58 | <yussef> | id really like to work on getting mythtv to run on the bsd's [if this hasnt been done already] |
| 21:59 | <ahbritto> | There is much talk by FreeBSD to move to gentoo's portage. |
| 22:03 | <yussef> | really? |
| 22:04 | <yussef> | cant say ive heard any of that. generally fbsd is pretty arrogant about its superiority in these matters, but im not expert on the subject |
| 22:04 | <ahbritto> | If you don't believe me, ask Jordan Hubbard. |
| 22:05 | <yussef> | not saying i dont believe you, only that i havent heard such |
| 22:05 | <yussef> | hasnt hubbard detached himself from much of the involvement with fbsd? |
| 22:06 | <ahbritto> | Gee, I thought he managed the Mac version. |
| 22:07 | <yussef> | mac osx doesnt have use the ports system does it? |
| 22:08 | <ahbritto> | yussef: This is way off topic. If you really care, try google. |
| 22:08 | <yussef> | was just about to |
