| 00:08 | <Chutt> | captain_murdoch, are you here? |
| 00:13 | <Captain_Murdoch> | just walked in |
| 00:14 | <Chutt> | someone just posted to the users list about an autoexpire issue |
| 00:14 | <Chutt> | i must've missed it before, but in your analysis from a couple weeks ago, you were wondering about the gContext->dispatch() |
| 00:14 | <Chutt> | not waiting or something? |
| 00:14 | <Captain_Murdoch> | yeah. |
| 00:14 | <Captain_Murdoch> | the sendevent vs postevent. |
| 00:14 | <Chutt> | it's not supposed to wait, it's suppose to add the message to the message queue and return |
| 00:15 | <Captain_Murdoch> | the original function was supposed to not wait. the function I called in dispatch now was supposed to wait. |
| 00:15 | <Chutt> | ah |
| 00:15 | <Captain_Murdoch> | that's sendevent vs postevent. |
| 00:15 | <Captain_Murdoch> | forget which is which. |
| 00:16 | <Captain_Murdoch> | that's why I was wondering why it wasn't waiting for the guy a couple weeks ago because everything I read said it should wait until the receiver returns. |
| 00:16 | <Chutt> | ah |
| 00:16 | <Chutt> | oh, i don't think that that's safe, anyway |
| 00:17 | <Chutt> | it looks to me like sendEvent assumes it's being called from the event loop thread |
| 00:17 | <Captain_Murdoch> | I was thinking of reworking it to only delete a max of 1 recording each time the expire code fires off (ie, once every 10 minutes or whatever the user sets). |
| 00:17 | <Chutt> | that'd work |
| 00:18 | <Captain_Murdoch> | be safer also, rather than deleting all shows in 5-10 seconds if there's a problem it will take 3-4 hours. :) |
| 00:18 | <Chutt> | heh |
| 00:18 | <Chutt> | yeah |
| 00:19 | <Chutt> | i'd change that dispatchNow to just dispatch |
| 00:19 | <Chutt> | and make it delete only that fast |
| 00:20 | -!- | hEximal [~inc@sth-dsl5010-64-83-19-104-vlan12.dsl.cavtel.net] has quit ["Leaving"] |
| 00:20 | <Captain_Murdoch> | taking a look now. I think I was talking with him about that before I lost net connection and power for a few days (though not on the same days strangely) because of the hurricane. |
| 00:22 | <Captain_Murdoch> | really can just change the inner autoexpire while loop to an if statement. so instead of looping through the list of programs it will only delete the first if need be then sleep again. |
| 00:23 | <Captain_Murdoch> | so "while not enough space free delete one program" becomes "if not enough space free delete one program" |
| 00:23 | <Chutt> | yeah |
| 00:23 | <Chutt> | you have time to do that anytime? |
| 00:23 | <Captain_Murdoch> | changing now, easy fix. might change wording on the messages printed also to make more sense with the new method. |
| 00:25 | <Chutt> | cool, thanks |
| 00:27 | <extremis> | Chutt: so I should install a minimul -stable and then apt-get upgrade or, should I point it to the -unstable directories on install? |
| 00:27 | <Chutt> | i've done it both ways |
| 00:27 | <extremis> | good, I like the idea of getting it bleeding edge on install |
| 00:28 | <extremis> | its odd it won't use anything other than ext2 for the fs type |
| 00:28 | <Chutt> | old kernel |
| 00:31 | <warlord> | hmm, I think there is a bug in the recording selection algorithm.. If a program is scheduled to record but the system thinks it's a duplicate, and then (after the program starts) you change the setting to enable recording of duplicates, then the system thinks it wants to record, but the recording never starts (and it's never removed from the "to be recorded" list). |
| 00:32 | <warlord> | So right now, even though it's 12:30am on 10/3, my myth thinks it wants to record soccer at 10:25pm on 10/2 |
| 00:32 | <Chutt> | it displays it as wanting to record that? |
| 00:32 | <warlord> | Yep |
| 00:32 | <Chutt> | the scheduler doesn't even consider stuff older than now |
| 00:32 | <Chutt> | where? |
| 00:32 | <warlord> | 6544 |
| 00:33 | <Chutt> | that's not an accurate list. |
| 00:33 | <Chutt> | check the fix conflicts screen |
| 00:33 | <Chutt> | it won't be there |
| 00:33 | <warlord> | No, it's not there.. |
| 00:34 | <Chutt> | the fix conflicts screen is what's actually being recorded |
| 00:35 | <warlord> | Ahh -- so the reason I'm being screwed is that it will never look at a program that started in the past, even if the program is currently airing. |
| 00:35 | <Chutt> | no, if it's currently airing that's fine. |
| 00:35 | <warlord> | Not if it was already marked for recording... |
| 00:36 | <Chutt> | record dups doesn't mean what you think it does, however. |
| 00:36 | <warlord> | it doesn't? |
| 00:36 | <warlord> | what does it mean, then? |
| 00:37 | <Chutt> | check out line 312 or so of scheduledrecording.cpp |
| 00:40 | <warlord> | uhh... that logic seems non-intuitive (if not completely wrong). Care to explain the reasoning behind that logic? |
| 00:40 | <Chutt> | talk to captain murdoch |
| 00:40 | <Chutt> | as that's all his code. |
| 00:40 | <warlord> | I see... |
| 00:40 | <Chutt> | there's two ways to define duplicates in here |
| 00:40 | <Chutt> | :p |
| 00:40 | <Chutt> | you're using one, he's using another |
| 00:40 | <warlord> | So basically what you're saying is there is no way to say "record this program regardless of how it compares to other programs" |
| 00:40 | <Chutt> | right. |
| 00:41 | <warlord> | Blah! |
| 00:41 | | * warlord runs around the room screaming a bit.. |
| 00:42 | <warlord> | My wife wants a "record this, dammit" flag. |
| 00:43 | <Captain_Murdoch> | the "record duplicates" code tells it to record even if the title, subtitle, and description match an entry in oldrecorded UNLESS they match an entry in the recorded table (since why record something if you've still got it hanging around from the first time you recorded it) |
| 00:43 | <warlord> | Captain_Murdoch: because sometimes I know better than the tv guide. |
| 00:44 | <warlord> | For example, there was a double-header of soccer tonight out of portland oregon. The title, subtitle, and description of both shows was exactly the same, but I WANTED it to record BOTH. |
| 00:44 | <Captain_Murdoch> | mdz was talking about more options like what you want a while back but I think he's been too busy to work on anything. things like adding a "force record this", "force don't record this", etc. |
| 00:45 | <warlord> | IMHO, a "record this once" setting should record it, regardless of what it says in the database. Isn't that what "record this once" is all about? |
| 00:45 | <Chutt> | singlerecord should still bypass all that, no? |
| 00:45 | <extremis> | bah: "Couldn't download libpam0g" |
| 00:45 | <extremis> | well can't install debian |
| 00:45 | <warlord> | Chutt: one would think, but it doesn't/ |
| 00:45 | <warlord> | the soccer programs were all defined as "record once" |
| 00:45 | <Chutt> | oh, that's right, it changed when it moved that logic into the select |
| 00:46 | <warlord> | can we change it back? |
| 00:46 | <Chutt> | no. |
| 00:46 | <warlord> | we can't fix the select to change it back? |
| 00:46 | <Chutt> | that's a different question |
| 00:46 | <Chutt> | and the proper pronoun there is 'i' |
| 00:47 | <warlord> | Hey, **i** didn't break the code... |
| 00:47 | <Chutt> | it's not broken. |
| 00:47 | <warlord> | Yes, it is. "record once" doesn't work. |
| 00:47 | <Chutt> | that's your opinion |
| 00:48 | <warlord> | Go ask 100 people on the street... Give them all the details about the situation, and I bet you $100 that 98 of them will agree with me. |
| 00:48 | <Chutt> | and until you contribute some code, i don't really care about your opinion =) |
| 00:48 | <warlord> | Are you this much of an asshole in real life? Or is this just your online persona? |
| 00:48 | <Chutt> | you've got the source, you're just as capable as anyone else of fixing it |
| 00:49 | <Chutt> | and since you care about it so much, that's good motivation for you to fix it and send in a patch |
| 00:49 | <warlord> | Honestly, I bet you could have fixed it in less time than demeaning potential developers. |
| 00:49 | <Chutt> | potential? |
| 00:49 | <Chutt> | heh |
| 00:49 | <warlord> | well, honestly, the more I deal with you here, the less I want to help you out. |
| 00:49 | <Chutt> | that's fine with me |
| 00:50 | <Chutt> | i don't owe you any time to fix what you think are problems |
| 00:50 | <Chutt> | unless you want to pay for my time |
| 00:50 | <FryGuy> | can you owe me some time to help me figure out my unix homework? :) |
| 00:51 | <Captain_Murdoch> | would be fairly easy to check the "record duplicates" flag and record anyway if it's a singlerecord item. |
| 00:51 | <warlord> | I'll keep that in mind .... You never know when the roles will be reversed. |
| 00:51 | <FryGuy> | the man for cut is worthless |
| 00:51 | <Chutt> | warlord, oh, i've already spent time fixing stuff for you that i can't reproduce, remember? :p |
| 00:51 | <warlord> | Captain_Murdoch: I did that, but it didn't start recording (I set the flag after the program started) |
| 00:52 | <Chutt> | though, i really don't know how you're still tripping that audio changed stuff |
| 00:52 | -!- | tmk [~no@12-234-205-129.client.attbi.com] has joined #mythtv |
| 00:52 | <Chutt> | tmk, try current cvs |
| 00:52 | <Captain_Murdoch> | in (Myth)TVland, a person's opinion's are about as valuable as their code contributions. (ie, the more important/better the latter, the more important/better the former). |
| 00:52 | <Chutt> | i think i fixed it |
| 00:52 | <Captain_Murdoch> | warlord, I mean in the code, not in the gui. |
| 00:52 | <tmk> | woo |
| 00:52 | <warlord> | Chutt: Honestly, I dont know either.. I've hit it once since you put in that fix, but I can't reliably reproduce it anymore. |
| 00:52 | <tmk> | which did you fix |
| 00:52 | <Captain_Murdoch> | tmk, I ordered 3 of those cards. |
| 00:52 | <Chutt> | tmk, well |
| 00:53 | <Chutt> | tmk, it looks like the GET_FRAME_ |
| 00:53 | <Chutt> | err, GET_FRAME_TIMING stuff was off still |
| 00:53 | <tmk> | still giving bogus values |
| 00:53 | <Chutt> | not bogus |
| 00:53 | <Chutt> | just wrong, until it started displaying something |
| 00:53 | <tmk> | ah |
| 00:53 | <Chutt> | but lemme know |
| 00:53 | <tmk> | so you queried it too soon |
| 00:53 | <tmk> | ok |
| 00:53 | <Chutt> | i didn't really test it extensively |
| 00:53 | <tmk> | i'll do so |
| 00:53 | <tmk> | yeah its tough |
| 00:53 | <Chutt> | seemed to work ok, though |
| 00:53 | <tmk> | did you find the framesync err msg bug too |
| 00:53 | <Chutt> | no, i couldn't reproduce that one |
| 00:54 | <Chutt> | even with it recording and stuff |
| 00:54 | <Chutt> | warlord, so in scheduledrecording.cpp, at that line i pointed out to you before |
| 00:54 | <Chutt> | just wrap where it sets the duplicate flag with a check if it's a singlerecording |
| 00:55 | <tmk> | it happens after the recording finishes |
| 00:55 | <Chutt> | i don't want to commit that without testing, and i don't have time to make sure it'll do the right thing |
| 00:55 | <warlord> | Yea, I'm looking at the schema to figure out how to determine that. |
| 00:55 | <tmk> | k |
| 00:55 | <tmk> | thanks |
| 00:55 | <tmk> | i'll try cvs |
| 00:55 | <Chutt> | warlord, shouldn't need to touch the db at all for that |
| 00:56 | <extremis> | is there a unstable repository for security.debian.org? |
| 00:56 | <Chutt> | no |
| 00:56 | <warlord> | Well, it needs to grab the record.type, no? |
| 00:56 | <Chutt> | stuff gets uploaded to unstable directly |
| 00:56 | <Chutt> | warlord, it should have it |
| 00:56 | <Chutt> | at that point |
| 00:56 | <extremis> | thats what I thought |
| 00:56 | <Chutt> | but you can generally use the testing repository |
| 00:57 | <extremis> | hrm, should I dist-upgrade first? |
| 00:57 | <Chutt> | i don't use apt to upgrade |
| 00:57 | <Chutt> | so, can't help ya there :p |
| 00:58 | <extremis> | yeah, I think I do, then I upgrade |
| 00:58 | <Chutt> | i really shouldn't inflict dselect on anyone by suggesting that |
| 00:58 | <extremis> | you really should use apt |
| 00:58 | <extremis> | its the only reason I use debian |
| 00:58 | <extremis> | :) |
| 00:58 | <extremis> | hell its great on redhat too |
| 00:58 | <extremis> | apt.freshrpms.net |
| 00:58 | <Chutt> | i use it for little things |
| 00:59 | <extremis> | ported for its l33tness |
| 00:59 | <Chutt> | but i'm used to dselect |
| 01:00 | <warlord> | Chutt: sorry, but record.type is not returned in that Select in schedulerecording.cpp. |

| 01:00 | <warlord> | take a look at lines 234-241 |
| 01:00 | <Chutt> | yeah, that's right |
| 01:00 | <Chutt> | it looks it up later for some reason |
| 01:00 | <warlord> | There is no "record.type" in that string. BUt I suppose I could add one. |
| 01:02 | <warlord> | well, that makes it hard to ignore the "duplicate" checking if 'type' isn't available. ;) |
| 01:02 | <Chutt> | could also do it later on |
| 01:02 | <Chutt> | but adding it there's probably easiest |
| 01:07 | <warlord> | what's proginfo->recording for? |
| 01:07 | <Chutt> | that stores all the recording info |
| 01:07 | <Chutt> | it's what gets filled in later |
| 01:07 | <warlord> | ?? looks like a bool? |
| 01:07 | <Chutt> | oh, nevermind |
| 01:07 | <warlord> | if (proginfo->duplicate) |
| 01:07 | <warlord> | proginfo->recording = false; |
| 01:07 | <Chutt> | wrong member |
| 01:08 | <Chutt> | yeah, that just disables it entirely |
| 01:08 | <warlord> | Ah, ok.. Default is true, then, in the constructor? |
| 01:08 | <Chutt> | yeah |
| 01:10 | <extremis> | is there a partition size limit with ext2? |
| 01:11 | <warlord> | not as far as I know. |
| 01:11 | <Chutt> | it's fairly large |
| 01:11 | <warlord> | I've got a 180G ext3 partition.. |
| 01:11 | <extremis> | I'm trying to make a 200gig partition with ext2 |
| 01:11 | <extremis> | I don't understand why unstable debian didn't upgrade this kernel |
| 01:12 | <extremis> | 2.2.20 |

| 01:21 | <Timon> | thor_: you around? |
| 01:29 | <warlord> | Chutt: looking more at this SQL, it looks like the WHERE clause is completely ignoring items "FROM record" where record.type = kSingleRecord |
| 01:30 | <warlord> | Although my SQL is extremely novice, so perhaps I'm not reading this right. |
| 01:31 | <warlord> | Or... maybe it gets covered by the inside of the WHERE where it's matching startdate, starttime, and endtime.. Which should be good enough. |
| 01:34 | <warlord> | Hmm, I can get to cvs from my laptop, but not my myth box... |

| 06:46 | <o_cee> | sfr: it's in mythweb. $show->category that is NULL returns " " (no, i haven't had time to look at the reason yet), so doing a strlen > 0 isn't enough. doing a strlen > 1 would work if we can safely assume that there aren't any categories with only 1 char. otherwise there will have to be a && != " " as well. |
| 06:48 | <sfr> | don't exactly understand that, but to rely on categories to always be > 1 character sounds wrong to me. |

| 07:18 | <atomix> | hi |
| 07:18 | <atomix> | someone out there? |
| 07:18 | <sfr> | sicher |
| 07:18 | <atomix> | sogar in deutsch? |
| 07:19 | <atomix> | habe gestern unter gentoo mythtv installiert |
| 07:19 | <sfr> | ja, but english is preferred. |
| 07:19 | <atomix> | lief auch alles ganz gut |
| 07:20 | <at07:21 | <atomix> when i switch to view tv - a black screen appears |
| 07:21 | <sfr> | did you set up your tv channels? |
| 07:21 | <atomix> | i think no - where can i set the channels? |
| 07:23 | <atomix> | mythfilldatabase don't work |
| 07:23 | <sfr> | atomix: http://www.mythtv.org/modules.php?name=MythInstall exists. you do so by running mythfilldatabase --preset and either --xawchannels or --manual |
| 07:24 | <sfr> | scratch that either or, they can be combined. |
| 07:26 | <atomix> | what it cardinput? |
| 07:27 | <o_cee> | have you run the setup program at all? |
| 07:27 | <atomix> | o_cee: yes |
| 07:27 | <sfr> | atomix how many tuners do you have? |
| 07:27 | <atomix> | one |
| 07:28 | <sfr> | then cardinput =1. it's for the case when you have 2 tuners and each one receives different channels. |
| 07:29 | <atomix> | sfr - now are channels in the mysql-table |
| 07:29 | <atomix> | can i start mythfrontend in a single smaller window? |
| 07:30 | <sfr> | atomix: change the settings in mythfrontend. |
| 07:30 | <o_cee> | use two desktops instead |
| 07:31 | <sfr> | atomix: does Murph ring a bell? :) |
| 07:31 | <atomix> | what? i don't understand - sorry |
| 07:31 | <sfr> | atomix: better so. |
| 07:32 | <sfr> | atomix: mythfrontend->Settings->Appearance 2nd screen |
| 07:36 | <atomix> | so now are channels in the database, but the screen was black to |
| 07:37 | <sfr> | did you test your sound setup with aplay? |
| 07:38 | <atomix> | xmms works |
| 07:38 | <sfr> | and look for error messages on the backend/frontend |
| 07:39 | <atomix> | what means 'running as slave backend' |
| 07:39 | <atomix> | ist this correct? |
| 07:39 | <atomix> | i have only one system |
| 07:39 | <sfr> | only if you also have a master backend |

| 09:59 | <sfr> | Captain_Murdoch_ good morning. with auto-skip commercials active, is there an option to disable it temporarily while/before watching a recording? |
| 10:00 | <Captain_Murdoch_> | sfr, no. I don't even use auto-skip. I don't trust the detection that much yet. :) |
| 10:01 | <Captain_Murdoch_> | I've considered an option like that though. or just a way to toggle it on/off without having to go into setup. |
| 10:01 | <Captain_Murdoch_> | might be a good item to put on the popup menu whenever someone gets around to working on one. |
| 10:02 | <sfr> | Captain_Murdoch_: dejavue? Chutt said the same :(. what about a switch in the watch recordings screen for now? |
| 10:04 | <sfr> | Captain_Murdoch_ you wrote that comm.-detect code, or was that someone else? |
| 10:04 | <Captain_Murdoch_> | that was me. |
| 10:04 | <Captain_Murdoch_> | I think it's good, works for me most of the time on shows I watch, but still not near 100% so I don't use auto-skip. |
| 10:05 | <sfr> | atomix: you can try to record audio (with rec for example, comes with sox) to see if that works. |
| 10:06 | <atomix> | sfr: that do not work too |

| 10:07 | <Captain_Murdoch_> | I've got logo detection working pretty well, but it can't work standalone because logos don't start/stop on the exact right times. I was planning on using the logo detection to enhance blank-frame but also give people the option of using just logo detection. |
| 10:08 | <sfr> | Captain_Murdoch_ iirc to detect blank frames you calculate the avg. brightness of a frame. is that level configurable? |
| 10:09 | <o_cee> | Captain_Murdoch: okay, cool. way cool :) |
| 10:09 | <o_cee> | will it work on "transparent" logos? |
| 10:09 | <Captain_Murdoch_> | not average brightness. it does a grid search that looks almost like an interlaced gif/png drawing but as a grid not just lines. it looks for pixels over a minimum value. |
| 10:10 | -!- | Edgan [edgan@proton.cygnusx-1.org] has joined #mythtv |
| 10:10 | <Captain_Murdoch_> | o_cee: it detects them reasonably well, but I'm still working on it. |
| 10:10 | <o_cee> | okay.. got a couple of those |
| 10:11 | <sfr> | atomix: you tested it with xawtv running an line-in unmuted? just checking. |
| 10:11 | <atomix> | xawtv with line ummuted sounds fine |
| 10:12 | <Captain_Murdoch_> | sfr: the code uses 2 thresholds. if a pixel is found over the max of the two the function returns false (ie, non-blank). if none are found above the max but some are above the lower then it does an average of the screen to see if it's just dim. if all are below the min of the two thresholds it assumes blank. |
| 10:12 | <sfr> | atomix: but can you record the tv audio using rec? |
| 10:12 | <o_cee> | i promised you to look at the logos. haven't really done it, but stations seem to use the same pattern here. usually it matches up pretty well, or they turn it on after the comercials, when there's announcements for other shows on the same station.. but that doesn't relaly matter imo |
| 10:12 | <o_cee> | i mean, stations does it the same way, but not all stations do it the same way :) |

| 10:14 | <jbwiv> | hey guys....anyone know if a 500mhz celeron is powerful enough to run a mythtvbackend? This would be using at least one PVR-250 and perhaps an additional PVR-350? |
| 10:14 | <Captain_Murdoch_> | I have it doing the detecting, just need to add code to allow using only logo detection as well as using logo detection to enhance the "all detection methods" method which currently uses blank frame and scene change info. |
| 10:15 | <o_cee> | sounds promising |
| 10:15 | <sfr> | jbwiv: with only pvr's then i'm pretty sure. but probl. not as an frontend too. |
| 10:15 | <Captain_Murdoch_> | jbwiv, should be ok for at least one pvr-250, not sure about 2. I have a Celeron 466 that I had a pvr-250 in and it worked ok except for the crappy builtin i810 video support. |
| 10:17 | <Captain_Murdoch_> | I use the 466 as my main frontend, it's slow in some things but I liked the size of the box, fits nicely with my other A/V equipment. http://www4.infi.net/~cpinkham/tmp/dsc01057.jpg |

| 10:18 | <Captain_Murdoch_> | the round thing on top is the creative cmr100 receiver. |

| 10:19 | <sfr> | Captain_Murdoch_: what's that box on the left? ;) |
| 10:19 | <atomix> | maybe the soundcard are damaged |
| 10:19 | <Captain_Murdoch_> | kvandivo: sorry I haven't got back to you on the recommendations stuff. any more improvements |
| 10:19 | <Captain_Murdoch_> | box on left is vcr, box on right is computer. the thing sitting on the top left of the computer is the IR receiver. |
| 10:19 | <o_cee> | vcr? |
| 10:19 | <Captain_Murdoch_> | yeah, see the dust on it. |
| 10:19 | <o_cee> | hehehhe |
| 10:19 | <o_cee> | :) |
| 10:20 | <sfr> | Captain_Murdoch_: vcr? ah, i remember now. :) |
| 10:20 | <Captain_Murdoch_> | that's used to transfer myth recordings to ancient spools of "tape" for giving myth recordings to relatives that forget to set their timers. |
| 10:20 | <o_cee> | tape.. hmm, had those on the C64.. never seen them since :) |
| 10:20 | <kvandivo> | i'm just being patient, CP. No real improvements at this time. My next step is to add real 'program rankings' code where the user can rank any program (whether they are recording it or not) positive or negative. oh, and i need options for autorecording recommendations, and that will require a flag in the 'record' table so that we know that something is a recommendation and can note that when it comes time to autodelete, etc. |
| 10:20 | <Captain_Murdoch_> | or so show off the fact that you can cut out commercials using detection or manual edits. |
| 10:21 | <kvandivo> | once we get real rankings, i can do the bayesian i've been wanting all along |
| 10:21 | <o_cee> | kvandivo: how does the recomendation stuff works anyway? haven't tried it |
| 10:21 | <kvandivo> | and, after that... collaborative filtering |
| 10:21 | <kvandivo> | it looks at words in all the shows you've recorded and finds matches in the upcoming shows |
| 10:22 | <kvandivo> | to greatly simplify thingns.. |
| 10:22 | <o_cee> | oh, so fully automatic.. |
| 10:22 | <o_cee> | might be neat :) |
| 10:22 | <Captain_Murdoch_> | kvandivo: I think it was working ok on my system. I think I may have found a bug in the scheduler's prunelist. the recommendations stuff was listing shows I already had set to record so I checked and "mythbackend --printsched" didn't show the episodes sometimes when they were in the future too far. I made a note to check into it |
| 10:22 | <kvandivo> | well, the determination is... you (currently) have to tell it to record them manually |
| 10:22 | <o_cee> | doesen't tivo do something like that? (me has never used a real pvr, such things doesn't exist here) |
| 10:23 | <kvandivo> | ya.. it shouldn't be doing that.. after I calculate the list, i'm getting the upcoming list of shows to record and explicitly remove them.. |

| 10:23 | <kvandivo> | ahh.. one thing I've noticed, Captain_Murdoch_ .. and I've asked about this, but haven't gotten an answer (and haven't had time to dig yet..) |
| 10:23 | <sfr> | atomix: so you have to fix the recording issue. |
| 10:24 | <kvandivo> | if myth is recording a particular episode of south park (which is notorious for showing the same episode 15 times ina week) |
| 10:24 | <atomix> | yes - i search at this moment at google |
| 10:24 | <kvandivo> | the recommendations code will sometimes suggest one of the alternate showings |
| 10:24 | <kvandivo> | (since it doesn't know that is an alternate showing of a show you've already set it to record) |
| 10:24 | <kvandivo> | understand what I mean? |
| 10:25 | <kvandivo> | i need a function that will return 'all pending recordings, as well as all alternate showings of shows that also don't need to be recorded' |
| 10:25 | <kvandivo> | is it possible that is what you are seeing when you see shows in the recommendations that you have 'already set to record'? |
| 10:26 | <Captain_Murdoch_> | kvandivo: the problem with prunelist is that it's pruning shows it shouldn't so your code recommends recording it when in actualality it is already going to record. |
| 10:27 | <Captain_Murdoch_> | could be. if you have "anytime" recordings the schedule should list all future occurances of an episode until it records the episode the first time then all should disappear. |
| 10:27 | <Captain_Murdoch_> | are you talking timeslot, weekslot or anytime/channel? |
| 10:28 | <kvandivo> | ummm... i probably have south park set to anytime... if episode A is on at 9, 9:30, and 10:00. and is going to be recorded at 9, recommendations knows that, and won't recommend the 9 showing.. however, it doesn't know that the 9:30 and 10 showings are duplicates of one that you are already recording |
| 10:29 | <kvandivo> | so they are eligible to be recommended |
| 10:31 | <kvandivo> | at least that's the behavior it seems like i've noticed. |
| 10:31 | <kvandivo> | perhaps i've been wrong all along and i've actually been seeing the bug you have noticed and have attributed it to the wrong thing. |
| 10:32 | <kvandivo> | recommend.cpp line 138 looks to me like it just grabs every pending recording and removes it.. |

| 10:35 | <kvandivo> | lately, though, Captain_Murdoch_, I've been spending my time working on stuff other than recommendations.. i've about fixed a bug with running mythfilldatabase very close to midnight (for testing, i get one shot per day, since i'm not interested in changing my computer clock just for testing) |
| 10:36 | <kvandivo> | and, i noticed last night that chutt was commenting that 6544 wasn't accurate for the list of upcoming programs, which struck me as strange since it calls the same functions to get the list as the view conflicts screen.... so, i looked into that, and have added some code to tell it to not list upcoming shows for recording if their start time < NOW(). still testing it to verify that it works right, though |
| 10:36 | <hculver> | Are others seeing the mythtv-users mailing list mail stall? I get no mail from the mailing list for a few days, and then several hundred arrive all at once, and its ok for a few days. |

| 11:51 | <kvandivo> | sfr: you said ' kvandivo: what is that bug?' what were you referring to? |
| 11:51 | <sfr> | that bug in mythfilldabase when run at 23:59 |
| 11:52 | <kvandivo> | ahh.. it has problems with the current date. the offset passed to xmltv changes meaning based on the current date. |
| 11:52 | <kvandivo> | i've added in code that captures the 'current' date and uses it through the entire 'day capture' process |
| 11:53 | <kvandivo> | this could be a tv_grab_na-only thing. |
| 11:53 | <warlord-afk> | Yea, but xmltv's captures wont deal properly. |
| 11:53 | <kvandivo> | i've handled that, war |
| 11:53 | <warlord-afk> | How? |
| 11:53 | -!- | warlord-afk is now known as warlord |
| 11:53 | <warlord> | Does it accept offset=-1? |
| 11:53 | <warlord> | (or do you just never attempt offset=1?) |
| 11:53 | <warlord> | er, 0 |
| 11:54 | <kvandivo> | basically, the code acts as it did before, but if the day changes, it tweaks the value of 'i' appropriately. |
| 11:54 | <kvandivo> | and, the current date is passed among the function calls, rather than using mysql's CURRENT_DATE, which is what was screwing things up |
| 11:55 | <warlord> | Ahh, so if you ever are trying 'i==0' across the date flip, you're screwed? |
| 11:55 | <kvandivo> | again, though.. i'm still doing some final debugging.. (didn't have any errors last night, and the data looks correct, but 'i' needs tweaked differently.. )_ |
| 11:55 | | * kvandivo mutters to himself and goes and loads filldata.cpp to see exactly what warlord is talking about. |
| 11:56 | <warlord> | While you're working on it, can you add a command-line argument for the 'default i value'? |
| 11:56 | <sfr> | got a different question: anyone in here in PAL-country which doesn't need the --preset option in mythfilldatabase? |
| 11:56 | <sfr> | or better: anyone outside the US? |
| 11:57 | <kvandivo> | warlord: i won't add two different things at once. better to submit two seperate patches for that to appease the powers that be |
| 11:57 | <warlord> | kvandivo: Fair enough.. (my request is probably easier ;) |
| 11:57 | <sfr> | warlord: that i value is which day to fetch? |
| 11:58 | <warlord> | sfr: yes. it's the "day offset" value |
| 11:59 | <kvandivo> | warlord: it actually looks like my current i tweaking -might- be using i = -1, which worked fine, btw.. but at 11:59, it did the grab_data on line 1397 for sept 3. (and then the date changed) and by the time it got to the for loop, the first time through it said that it already had data for sept 2. So, I probably still need to tweak the 'i' in that case. I hadn't looked at that code real close before trying it. |
| 11:59 | <warlord> | See line 1443 in filldata.cpp |
| 11:59 | <sfr> | warlord: i might be wrong, but then why don't you run tv_grab_na manually and just feed the xml file to mythtv? |
| 11:59 | <kvandivo> | hmmmm.. 1397 is in _my_ copy of the code.. don't know what it is in cvs.. it's the grab_data befoer the for loop that i'm talking about, though |
| 12:00 | <warlord> | sfr: that's what I'm doing now, but it would be MUCH easier if I could tell it "auto-grab offset=0" instead of offset=1, so when I run at 4am Monday it will grab Monday's data and not Tuesday's |
| 12:00 | <kvandivo> | if you are really concerned about, it, just change the 1 to a zero in your copy of the code, war |
| 12:00 | <kvandivo> | (like what i did with the 1 second vs 5 second SELECT recordChanged FROM thing.. |
| 12:01 | <warlord> | Yea, I might just do that.. |
| 12:01 | <Captain_Murdoch_> | jbwiv, the 466 is only a frontend. your 500 with a decent video card should be able to do frontend/backend because I was able to do frontend/backend/livetv on my 466 with my pvr-250. tweak the bitrates lower than the old default of 16000/8000 though. |
| 12:02 | <Chutt> | the new defaults are more sane =) |
| 12:03 | <warlord> | Hey, I liked the 16k/8k defaults ;) |
| 12:07 | <sfr> | warlord: instead of adding more command-line parameters to mythfilldatabase what about being just able to say: run /foo/ba/script with parameter '--days 14 --offset 1' and grab the xml file from /whatever/pleases/you ? b/c nobody sent a patch i guess. |
| 12:08 | <sfr> | it'd make mythfilldatabase more flexible |
| 12:08 | <warlord> | sfr: which script? I do want to limit the pounding of the zap2it servers. |
| 12:09 | <sfr> | warlord: any script that works for the user. tv_grab_na in your case. |
| 12:10 | <warlord> | I dont understand -- one can already run the script by hand and then use mythfilldatabase --file |
| 12:11 | <sfr> | yeah, so you don't need an additional command-line option :P |
| 12:11 | <warlord> | My point is that mythfilldatabase is ALWAYS going to download one day of data (and usually 2 when run once a day) -- it grabs offset 1, and then it grabs offset N (because 0 to N-1 are already in the database). I want to allow the user to CHOOSE which day is that 'first day' |
| 12:11 | <Chutt> | change the source. |
| 12:11 | <warlord> | sfr: YES, I do.. because NOW in order to do what I want I have to pull down THREE days. |
| 12:12 | <warlord> | Chutt: Well, I changed my copy of the sources to just 1 -> 0, but that's not really "the right solution" |
| 12:12 | <Chutt> | sure it is |
| 12:12 | <warlord> | It's the right solution for me.. |
| 12:12 | <Chutt> | you're the only person to ever want that changed |
| 12:12 | <warlord> | It doesn't work for people who run the fill at 11:50pm |
| 12:13 | <Chutt> | sure it does |
| 12:13 | <Chutt> | it grabs tomorrow |
| 12:13 | <warlord> | So I'm the only one who wants to update my database the day-of? |
| 12:13 | <sfr> | warlord: i don't see your point when you already run tv_grab_na manually anyway. |
| 12:13 | <Chutt> | what would be the point of updating that day when there's 10 minutes left in it? |
| 12:13 | <warlord> | sfr: I dont want to have to run tv_grab_na manually -- it's extra (unnecessary) pounding on the zap2it servers |
| 12:14 | <warlord> | Chutt: right, that's exactly why "changing it to 0" is not the right solution. |
| 12:14 | <Chutt> | keeping it at 1 is |
| 12:14 | <warlord> | Adding a --default-day option lets ME set it to 0, and let's the person running at 11:50 keep it at 1 |
| 12:14 | <Chutt> | you're the only one who wants it at 0 |
| 12:14 | <Chutt> | no one else has ever brought that up in over a year |
| 12:15 | <sfr> | warlord: why extra? don't tell me you run two cronjobs downloading data from zap2it each night. |
| 12:15 | <Chutt> | so it's just as easy for you to go in and make that one character change |
| 12:15 | <warlord> | sfr: you CLEARLY don't understand what mythfilldatabase does. |
| 12:16 | <warlord> | Chutt: just because I'm the only person being vocal about it doesn't mean nobody else wants the feature. |
| 12:16 | <Chutt> | warlord, and, nice way to completely miss the point on that 'cle266 decoder segment fault' thread |
| 12:17 | <Chutt> | unless i'm completely mistaken and you're using the cle266 hardware decoder. |
| 12:17 | <sfr> | warlord: i know b/c i told it what to do. my point is rather about mythfilldatabase being too limited in which script it can run automatically. |
| 12:18 | <sfr> | warlord: i meant what it should do in my cronjob. |
| 12:18 | <warlord> | sfr: in my cronjob I want to be able to say: |
| 12:18 | <warlord> | mythfilldatabase --update |
| 12:19 | <warlord> | (or perhaps "mythfilldatabase --update --default-day 0") |
| 12:19 | <warlord> | currently, I have to: |
| 12:19 | <Chutt> | the --update option is only meant for people in europe. |
| 12:19 | <Chutt> | since some of those grabbers don't contain all the data, and running without it can destroy user-inputted data. |
| 12:19 | <warlord> | Chutt: ok.. it didn't seem to do any harm (and the docs are less than verbose about what it does) |
| 12:20 | <warlord> | regardless, my point is that right now I need to run: |
| 12:20 | <Chutt> | --update |
| 12:20 | <Chutt> | For running non-destructive updates on the database for |
| 12:20 | <Chutt> | users in xmltv zones that do not provide channel data |
| 12:20 | <Chutt> | that's pretty clear, i think |
| 12:20 | <warlord> | mythfilldatabase; tv_grab_na <channel-set 1>; mythfilldatabase --file; tv_grab_na <channel-set 2>; mythfilldatabase --file |
| 12:21 | <warlord> | It hits the zap2it servers AT LEAST 4 times (offsets 0 and 1) but usually 6 (0, 1, and N) |
| 12:21 | <sfr> | warlord: i agree with that. but adding special command-line arguments for tv_grab_na, another one for tv_grab_XY seems wrong to me. |
| 12:21 | <warlord> | Chutt: only if you know what it means. someone else here suggested I use --update |
| 12:22 | <Chutt> | why don't you change when you run the cron job? |
| 12:22 | <Chutt> | or just change the one single character in the source and be done with this whole pointless thing? |
| 12:22 | <warlord> | you're just the center of the universe, aren't you chutt? |
| 12:22 | <thor_> | or run your clock one hour early |
| 12:22 | <Chutt> | it's open source. |
| 12:23 | <Chutt> | you _have_ the source |
| 12:23 | <Chutt> | you _can_ edit it |
| 12:23 | <Chutt> | it can't be everything to everybody. |
| 12:23 | <warlord> | yes, but making a change just for me isn't helping the community |

| 12:23 | <warlord> | how do you know? |

| 14:19 | <mikegrb> | I have one box that when it loses power to the psu from the wall the scroll/caps/num lock blink when the power comes back... but it doesn't boot back up |

| 14:26 | <krenin> | what is regular TV resolution? |
| 14:26 | <warlord> | What TV format? |
| 14:26 | <o_cee> | ntsc or pal |
| 14:26 | <krenin> | ntsc |
| 14:27 | <o_cee> | dunno then :) 720x480 i think |
| 14:27 | <warlord> | Actually, I think 640x480 |
| 14:27 | <warlord> | but I'm not 100% sure. |
| 14:27 | <krenin> | i've been recording at 320x240 with my 1 ghz duron |
| 14:27 | <sfr> | no s/t like 720x576 |
| 14:27 | <krenin> | it works ok |
| 14:28 | <o_cee> | 720x576 is pal |
| 14:28 | <sfr> | oh, |
| 14:28 | <o_cee> | MinmayIsABimbo: seems to be 2.4.20.. why? |
| 14:28 | <DogBoy> | or xvcd |
| 14:29 | <DogBoy> | you can do ntsc at 720x576 |
| 14:29 | <sfr> | google also suggests: 640x480 for ntsc. |
| 14:29 | <DogBoy> | the google oracle |
| 14:29 | <o_cee> | no more ideas? then i'll have to kill the dragon and hope he wakes up again.. |
| 14:29 | <DogBoy> | http://www.dvdrhelp.com/comparison |
| 14:29 | <Chutt> | there is no set horizontal resolution for analog video. it's, well, analog :p |
| 14:30 | <krenin> | my Duron 1 ghz can't handle 640x480 |
| 14:31 | <o_cee> | then the dragon must die. :/ please wake up |
| 14:31 | <sfr> | o_cee: be confident, the dragon is strong. |
| 14:31 | <kvandivo> | if you live in _that_ much fear that your 'dragon' isn't going to wake up o_cee, maybe it is time to buy a new 'dragon' |
| 14:31 | <DogBoy> | 480x480 for recorded shows if you have a 1 gig machine |
| 14:32 | <Captain_Murdoch_> | krenin, try 352x480 or 480x480. I use 352x480 on my Athlon 700 and it leaves me with 20% cpu free. |
| 14:32 | <sfr> | dragon XP maybe ;) |
| 14:32 | <poo> | ne1 using myth with hdtv ? |
| 14:35 | <MinmayIsABimbo> | o_cee: I saw a few posts about 2.4.21 doing that with ide-scsi |
| 14:38 | <krenin> | which should i use mpeg4 or the other |
| 14:38 | <o_cee> | aaaargh, bad superblock |
| 14:38 | <o_cee> | using ext3 |
| 14:39 | <sfr> | maybe your dragon caught a flew? |
| 14:39 | <o_cee> | seems like it |
| 14:40 | <o_cee> | MinmayIsABimbo: not using scsi |
| 14:41 | <MinmayIsABimbo> | hmm... prolly just a random kernel panic... cant really say more than that :\ |
| 14:41 | <Captain_Murdoch_> | krenin, mpeg4 |

| 14:49 | <TheWildgoose> | I just updated mythmusic cvs and I notice a problem when ripping flac files. Wondered if you could give me a few pointers... |
| 14:49 | <thor_> | ok ... don't know much about the flac code ... but there were a couple of patches recently |
| 14:49 | <TheWildgoose> | Problem is that file looks like it rips ok, the comments field looks just the same as before. However, the db scan is importing it as "unknown artist", "unknown album", etc |
| 14:49 | <TheWildgoose> | yeah, I saw that there were a few patches |
| 14:49 | <krenin> | i seem to have good luck with 352x288, i think it's what my card does actually |
| 14:49 | <TheWildgoose> | can you think how it might have been broken as described? |
| 14:50 | <thor_> | file plays ok? |
| 14:50 | <TheWildgoose> | yeah fine |
| 14:50 | <TheWildgoose> | and the "tags" look fine |
| 14:50 | <TheWildgoose> | using metaflac |
| 14:51 | <TheWildgoose> | looks like the db scan is importing wrongly |
| 14:51 | <thor_> | hmmm ... |
| 14:52 | <TheWildgoose> | I have an old copy of source hanging round. |
| 14:52 | <TheWildgoose> | going to diff to understand the recent changes, but where should I be looking? |
| 14:52 | <TheWildgoose> | (based on changes made recently...) |
| 14:52 | <thor_> | I'm just looking at some diff's to see if anything is obvious |
| 14:52 | <TheWildgoose> | My previous working version was like 3 weeks old |
| 14:52 | <thor_> | flacdecoder.cpp |
| 14:53 | <thor_> | that looks like the problem .... |
| 14:54 | <TheWildgoose> | where are you looking? |
| 14:54 | <thor_> | flacdecoder.cpp, line 577 |
| 14:55 | <TheWildgoose> | ok, I'm there |
| 14:56 | <krenin> | can mplayer play rtjpeg files? |
| 14:56 | <thor_> | try dropping in an older flacdecoder.cpp (3 weeks should be fine) and see if that solves it |
| 14:56 | <thor_> | if so, we need to have it return tags properly but not segfault on long ones. |
| 14:58 | <TheWildgoose> | hmm, yeah, I can see it has changed a lot, but I can't see obviously why it now fails... |
| 14:58 | <thor_> | bit garbly |
| 14:59 | <thor_> | unlike most patches, I didn't walk through it by hand |
| 14:59 | <TheWildgoose> | can't see why it segfaults on the old code actually? Seems to only memcopy up to 512 chars? Is it because it needs one extra char for terminator? |
| 14:59 | <thor_> | char []'s are just silly |
| 14:59 | <thor_> | :-) |
| 15:00 | <thor_> | you may have to fiddle with it a bit (some cout <<'s) .... I don't have any flacs to test on .... suppose I could create some if you don't have the time |
| 15:01 | <krenin> | how do you minimize mythtv in the gui |
| 15:01 | <sfr> | krenin: you don't. you could ask it to run in a window though. |
| 15:01 | <krenin> | oh |
| 15:01 | <krenin> | so can't switch back to my Xfce desktop? |
| 15:02 | <krenin> | ...while its recording |
| 15:02 | <sfr> | krenin: the recording is done by mythbackend. you can quit mythfrontend without fear. |
| 15:02 | <krenin> | oh ok |
| 15:02 | <krenin> | how do you quit mythfrontend? |
| 15:03 | <thor_> | how did you tell it to quit? |
| 15:03 | <thor_> | Settings |
| 15:03 | <thor_> | (that was a hint) |
| 15:04 | <krenin> | ok gotcha |

| 15:05 | <TheWildgoose> | thor Does it appear to you that this flac code is doing a case sensitive compare? |
| 15:07 | <TheWildgoose> | it appears to call getComment with lowercase, but then the flac files have comments in uppercase |
| 15:08 | <TheWildgoose> | thor ? Are you there? |
| 15:09 | <thor_> | yup, I'm just slow |
| 15:09 | <TheWildgoose> | Yep, definitely appears to be doing a case sensitive search |
| 15:09 | <TheWildgoose> | Does that look right to you? |
| 15:09 | <TheWildgoose> | How would you prefer I fix it? |
| 15:09 | <TheWildgoose> | copy to qstrings? |
| 15:10 | <TheWildgoose> | or is the strcmp fixable? |
| 15:10 | <thor_> | I'd just use QStrings, and judicous .upper() .lower() |
| 15:10 | <thor_> | but it's not my code |
| 15:10 | <TheWildgoose> | oh, sorry. Thought this was you... |
| 15:11 | <TheWildgoose> | or do you mean the update wasn't your code? |
| 15:11 | <thor_> | neither |
| 15:11 | <TheWildgoose> | Can strncmp be made to do case insensitive match? (I think not) |
| 15:11 | <TheWildgoose> | but I am very rusty on c++ these days |
| 15:11 | <thor_> | original flacdecoder has not changed much since it was first borrowed |
| 15:12 | <TheWildgoose> | Yeah, I understand |
| 15:12 | <thor_> | the method wants a QString back |
| 15:12 | <TheWildgoose> | Tagging is something that got bolted on later - yes? |
| 15:12 | <TheWildgoose> | OK, I will try something and then can I send it to you for commit? |
| 15:13 | <thor_> | I'd just convert the char* label to a QString and work from there (the trolls do strings well) |
| 15:13 | <krenin> | switched X resolution to 640x480 and it runs much smoother... |
| 15:13 | <thor_> | Tagging was always there in the decoders |
| 15:14 | <thor_> | anything you can come up with would be great .... send it to the -dev list so the guy who sent the patch can see if it breaks the thing he was fixing in the first place |
| 15:15 | <TheWildgoose> | Oh really! Hmm. I want to retag some of my files actually. I wonder if the setComment can be used to write something... Seems that I need a "clearComments" first though, otherwise it will just keep appending stuff |
| 15:15 | <TheWildgoose> | perhaps I could adjust the setComment to check for existing comments and overwrite... |
| 15:15 | <thor_> | easyTag is your friend |
| 15:15 | <TheWildgoose> | ...ie if they have the same "key=" |
| 15:15 | <TheWildgoose> | Really |
| 15:16 | <TheWildgoose> | I did try it and it didn't seem to support tagging the way we are doing it here... |
| 15:16 | <TheWildgoose> | ...for flac files that is |
| 15:16 | <thor_> | well .. it works amazingly well on oggs and mp3's, not sure about flacs |
| 15:16 | <TheWildgoose> | yeah, it claims to do flacs |
| 15:16 | <sfr> | libid3tag? |
| 15:16 | <TheWildgoose> | but it certainly doesn't seem to read the comments fields that we have set in myth |
| 15:17 | <thor_> | hey, while you're at it .... absolutely no-one would complain if you came up with a comment editing dialog =) |
| 15:19 | <TheWildgoose> | Yeah, nice to have! |
| 15:19 | <TheWildgoose> | now sorry, you are going to have to help me a bit more... |
| 15:19 | <TheWildgoose> | How do I get this: (const char *)entry->entry; |
| 15:19 | <TheWildgoose> | into a QString |
| 15:19 | <TheWildgoose> | without doing the memcpy that was being used before |
| 15:20 | <TheWildgoose> | does qstring have any fancy methods? |
| 15:21 | <thor_> | QString a_string = (const char *)entry->entry; cout << "a_string is \"" << a_string << "\"" << endl; |
| 15:21 | <TheWildgoose> | Hmm, really. So simple. Rather clever of QString though |
| 15:22 | <TheWildgoose> | So I wonder why the original author used strncpy into a char[] and then assigned to a QString? |
| 15:22 | <thor_> | QString & operator= ( const char * str ) <-- from the Qt docs |
| 15:24 | <krenin> | i bet there are a lot of people making entertainment systems around MythTV |
| 15:24 | <krenin> | better than a tivo |
| 15:24 | <TheWildgoose> | Hmm, sorry probably dumb question, but isn't char[] just the same as char* anyway? (It's been about 7 ish years...) |
| 15:24 | <thor_> | more or less .... |
| 15:25 | <TheWildgoose> | ...(I get to write a lot of Visual Basic these days... Perl in my free time...) |
| 15:25 | <thor_> | but both are to be avoided. |
| 15:25 | <TheWildgoose> | (Did you mean VB and perl... ;-) |
| 15:25 | <TheWildgoose> | *grin* |
| 15:25 | <thor_> | no, char[] and char* |
| 15:25 | <thor_> | =) |
| 15:26 | <thor_> | although seeing people "code" in VB does make me fairly nauseous |
| 15:27 | <TheWildgoose> | Yep. I'm probably one of them as well... |
| 15:27 | <TheWildgoose> | It's far too easy to "cheat" and write something nasty... |
| 15:27 | <TheWildgoose> | However, the flip side is that I have written more code on my own for a major app than many teams might manage in some other language |
| 15:28 | <TheWildgoose> | There is a health debate about .Net vs Java in our office at the mo.... |
| 15:28 | <thor_> | far too easy to think you need $500.00 worth of microsoft development infrastructure to make a compute do something for you |
| 15:28 | <TheWildgoose> | I have a hunch actually that .Net might actually be the real killer feature for linux... Just need Mono to mature |
| 15:28 | <TheWildgoose> | I think Visual Studio is more like $2000 |
| 15:29 | <TheWildgoose> | Its about \xA31200 |
| 15:29 | <thor_> | more than gcc |
| 15:29 | <TheWildgoose> | Yep |
| 15:29 | <TheWildgoose> | However, we are spending about \xA31million on a custom piece of accounting software right now |
| 15:29 | <TheWildgoose> | So 10 licences for VB don't really show up |
| 15:29 | <TheWildgoose> | And that is how most businesses think |
| 15:30 | <thor_> | working on a bit of "accounting software" myself |
| 15:30 | <TheWildgoose> | In the UK contractors earn perhaps \xA3500 per day, so if MS software makes them code the solution 2 days quicker then it pays for itself. The stuff about long term maintainability is somewhat overlooked |
| 15:30 | <TheWildgoose> | :-) |
| 15:31 | <TheWildgoose> | Yeah, was thinking about putting in a tender myself! |
| 15:31 | <TheWildgoose> | But I think that is the point. My company is quite small, 140 ish people |
| 15:31 | <TheWildgoose> | but we are spending perhaps \xA31-2m per year on IT. |
| 15:31 | <TheWildgoose> | So "fastest" is what counts (notice how I avoid saying "best") |
| 15:32 | <TheWildgoose> | Anyway, personally I am a linux fan, and most of my machines run that |
| 15:32 | <thor_> | I don't care about the financial arguments, VB generates hoards of people who write "code" but who never realize the (fairly) simple relationship between hardware, operating systems, source code, and applications. |
| 15:32 | <TheWildgoose> | I miss a few windows apps though such as Photoshop... (It's much better than the Gimp for lots of things) |
| 15:33 | <TheWildgoose> | Yep, agreed |
| 15:33 | <thor_> | 'cause their way up in some rarefied Microsoft sandbox |
| 15:33 | <TheWildgoose> | I think what many linux people miss though is that they are a) better programmers, b) more efficient given a certain task c) perhaps cheaper, d) probably cleverer.... but.... |
| 15:33 | <thor_> | connecting little coloured lines together |
| 15:34 | <TheWildgoose> | My company doesn't care about the technical solution. The boss just wants to be use the bit of software that he has just spec'd out to me.... |
| 15:34 | <TheWildgoose> | If I can write it in xxxxx then fine. But get it done by the end of the day... |
| 15:35 | <thor_> | yup |
| 15:35 | <TheWildgoose> | Also once you get on the MS bandwagon they use lots of lockin to keep you there |
| 15:35 | <TheWildgoose> | b**stards |
| 15:35 | <thor_> | yup |
| 15:35 | <thor_> | and bully for them |
| 15:35 | <TheWildgoose> | Personally I rather like a lot of MS software. I see no reason to bash it. The main thing which annoys me is the mis-use of that power |
| 15:35 | <TheWildgoose> | Anyway. Doesn't get us anywhere.... |
| 15:36 | <thor_> | nope ;-) |
| 15:36 | <TheWildgoose> | OK, going to code this up quickly |
| 15:36 | <TheWildgoose> | Friends is on.... |
| 15:36 | <thor_> | thanks |
| 15:36 | <TheWildgoose> | See ya. And thanks for pointing out this problem. Will get a fix in |
| 15:36 | <thor_> | k |
| 15:37 | <TheWildgoose> | By the way. Anyone from the UK here? I have been playing with integrating the tv_grab_uk_rt grabber. Means you can get 14 days of programs instead of 4 days |
| 15:37 | <DogBoy> | TheWildgoose, you can run photoshop on linux |
| 15:37 | <TheWildgoose> | ...slow as hell though |
| 15:37 | <TheWildgoose> | Yes, I think a few people paid some money to get the crossover office to support it? |
| 15:38 | <DogBoy> | with just wine |
| 15:38 | <TheWildgoose> | Photoshop 8 is out though, and it has some very tasty stuff...! 16 bit all the way |
| 15:38 | <TheWildgoose> | RAW importer, etc |
| 15:38 | <TheWildgoose> | very handy |

| 17:00 | <SarahEmm> | okay, i have btaudio all set up and working, but my original issue is still there, video is slow and jerky and i get constant 'delaying to next trigger' messages from mythfrontend, and some 'strange error flushing buffer' messages in mythbackend.log |
| 17:01 | <sfr> | ignore the strange error thing, that's always there. |
| 17:02 | <SarahEmm> | okay. |
| 17:02 | <SarahEmm> | any ideas where to debug this? |

| 17:05 | <SarahEmm> | i'm running 480x480 now, tried both RT-JPEG and MPEG4 |
| 17:05 | <sfr> | SarahEmm: what CPU do you have? |

| 17:07 | <SarahEmm> | dang. |
| 17:07 | <SarahEmm> | so i guess i'll try lowering it.. |
| 17:08 | <sfr> | SarahEmm: but then, it could be something else. any messages on the backend? |
| 17:09 | <sfr> | SarahEmm: and how loaded is it during encoding. |
| 17:09 | <SarahEmm> | the only message on the backend is the 'delaying to next trigger' messages |
| 17:09 | <SarahEmm> | let me check how loaded it is.. |

| 17:12 | <SarahEmm> | the only one from the backend is the strange error flushing buffer, which is aparantly normal |
| 17:14 | <Captain_Murdoch_> | sarahemm, any messages about XV on the frontend? |

| 17:14 | <SarahEmm> | nope |

| 17:15 | <SarahEmm> | hmm, is there a way to make sure it's using xv? |
| 17:17 | <sfr> | SarahEmm: there should be a message like: using XV port 55 |
| 17:17 | <sfr> | SarahEmm: or simply run 'xvinfo' on the frontend |
| 17:18 | <SarahEmm> | what am i looking for in the xvinfo output? |

| 17:30 | <TheWildgoose> | thor - hi you around still? |
| 17:31 | <TheWildgoose> | I think I understand why the old code segfaulted now |
| 17:31 | <TheWildgoose> | and also why the new code doesnt' work... |
| 17:33 | <TheWildgoose> | Anyone here any good with QString? |
| 17:34 | <sfr> | does knowing what it is count? |
| 17:38 | <kvandivo> | what more than http://doc.trolltech.com/3.2/qstring.html could you possibly want? ;) |
| 17:38 | <sfr> | working code? |
| 17:40 | <kvandivo> | ahh.. for that i would refer one to the mythtv source tree.. literally hundreds of instances of QString in action. (probably thousands) |
| 17:41 | <TheWildgoose> | kvandivo thanks |
| 17:41 | <TheWildgoose> | just serching for that |
| 17:41 | <TheWildgoose> | I have a char* string, but it isn't null terminated |
| 17:41 | <TheWildgoose> | need to be able to specify a length |
| 17:42 | <TheWildgoose> | it appears that there IS a constructor though which takes length as an arg |
| 17:42 | <TheWildgoose> | thanks |
| 17:42 | <kvandivo> | well.. if it isn't null terminated, then its not really a string, according to the standard vernacular.. a character array, I would buy.. |
| 17:42 | <TheWildgoose> | ahh, rats |
| 17:42 | <TheWildgoose> | actually looking closer, no it doesn't |
| 17:42 | <TheWildgoose> | yeah, whatever, |
| 17:43 | <TheWildgoose> | I still need to read it into a qtstring though... |
| 17:43 | <TheWildgoose> | I do agree by the way |
| 17:43 | <TheWildgoose> | Any suggestions? |
| 17:43 | <kvandivo> | do you _know_ the length? |
| 17:43 | <kvandivo> | (I would hope so) |
| 17:44 | <TheWildgoose> | yes |
| 17:44 | <TheWildgoose> | assume char* unterminated, and int length |
| 17:44 | <kvandivo> | and you can't make http://doc.trolltech.com/3.2/qstring.html#QString-5 work? |
| 17:45 | <TheWildgoose> | hmm, but do I have a qchar* ? |
| 17:45 | <TheWildgoose> | I think not...? |
| 17:47 | <kvandivo> | i suspect you could, but at any rate, if speed isn't an issue you could always allocate a char * for length+1 and add the 0 |
| 17:48 | <TheWildgoose> | i think that is best. Hang on let me try it |
| 17:49 | <kvandivo> | why in the world isn't your first string null terminated? |

| 17:57 | <TheWildgoose> | dumb question. Arrays in c++ are zero based yes? |
| 17:58 | <TheWildgoose> | ie char* p = new[123]; p[0] = something; |
| 17:58 | <sfr> | yes |
| 17:58 | <TheWildgoose> | thanks |
| 17:59 | <TheWildgoose> | I use so many prog languages these days I find it hard to declare an int sometimes.... |
| 17:59 | <sfr> | isn't it the same in any (sane) language? |
| 17:59 | <kvandivo> | cobol: DECLARE THE VARIABLE P AS A WHOLE NUMBER AND GIVE IT AN INITIAL VALUE OF 3. |
| 18:01 | <TheWildgoose> | well sql uses declare |
| 18:01 | <TheWildgoose> | vb uses dim |
| 18:01 | <TheWildgoose> | c/c++ use int blah |
| 18:01 | <TheWildgoose> | pascal uses blah int |
| 18:02 | <TheWildgoose> | perl... well perl just doesn't |
| 18:02 | <TheWildgoose> | pl/1 I'm really rusty on... |
| 18:02 | <TheWildgoose> | just syntax though. basically the same thing |
| 18:02 | <TheWildgoose> | until you get onto the logic and functional languages... Miranda/prolog, etc |
| 18:03 | <TheWildgoose> | yeah cobol is pretty verbose...! |
| 18:04 | <sfr> | that is valid COBOL? me shivers |
| 18:04 | <kvandivo> | no.. i'm sure its not that bad.. it's just amusing to make fun of it |
| 18:04 | <SarahEmm> | cobol is ridiculously verbose heh |
| 18:05 | <kvandivo> | (this said from a guy that could have made 4 times as much as he was making back around y2k if he had wanted to code in cobol) |
| 18:05 | <sfr> | heh. you didn't? |

| 18:13 | <TheWildgoose> | Durr |
| 18:13 | <TheWildgoose> | I think intel are still doing optimised compilers for c++ and cobol... |
