| 00:39 | <ByteNik> | Before I go and write anything, has anyone written a script before to automatically rotate a TV antenna before recording? |
| 00:40 | <ByteNik> | Otherwise I'll interface into the CEA web site and pull angle from North degree. |
| 00:40 | <ByteNik> | And then I'll automatically turn the dish. |
| 00:46 | <mikegrb> | sounds nice, haven't seen anything about it though |
| 00:47 | <ByteNik> | never had a need before now... I've always used cable |
| 00:47 | <ByteNik> | But I set up a UHF antenna for HDTV |
| 00:47 | <ByteNik> | Comcast's HDTV selection is horrible. |
| 00:47 | <ByteNik> | Anyway, some of my channels come from new york at 33/34 degrees, and some from South New Jersey at 324 degrees. |
| 00:48 | <ByteNik> | And a few 67 degree long island channels. |

| 03:25 | <tmk> | that's about right |
| 03:25 | <tmk> | they have to support them |

| 09:55 | <mikegrb> | pvr-250 or -350 |
| 09:56 | <tzanger> | hmm ok |
| 09:56 | <tzanger> | thanks |
| 09:57 | <tzanger> | the PVR-USB doesn't work with myth? |
| 09:57 | <tzanger> | er usb2 I guess |
| 09:59 | <tzanger> | how the hell do the DVB cards work without a CI |
| 10:01 | <mikegrb> | I dunno |
| 10:02 | <mikegrb> | usb is still out |
| 10:03 | <tzanger> | ok |
| 10:04 | <tzanger> | now iwth hardware decode + encode what kind of processor can I get away with? |
| 10:04 | <tzanger> | I assume that I don't need a BigFast<tm> proc if it's hardware assisted, right? |
| 10:04 | <tzanger> | perhaps only for audio encode |
| 10:05 | <sfr> | audio is done bye the encoder as well (it's part of the mpeg2 stream) |
| 10:05 | <tzanger> | ahh ok |
| 10:05 | <tzanger> | so are we talking P2400, P3 or still fast fast cpu? |
| 10:06 | <tzanger> | basic functions like pause tv, play/rip DVD and record scheduled shows? |
| 10:11 | <mikegrb> | sorry was reading email, seems like just under 1 ghz is even fine with those cards |
| 10:14 | <mikegrb> | getting a box to select a letter on OS kbd? |
| 10:14 | <mikegrb> | er |
| 10:18 | <tzanger> | hmm ok |
| 10:19 | <tzanger> | I might look at one of those little MicroATX VIA C3 chips then since all the hard work is offloaded... stream the data to a system with a HDD somewhere else for a quiet computer in the living room |
| 10:19 | <tzanger> | just need digital audio out |
| 10:33 | <tzanger> | I wonder what I can underclock an Athlon1100 down to to get it silent |

| 14:29 | <SarahEmm> | anyone here seen 'gap not found, can't continue' when trying to use 'irrecord' to set up a remote? |
| 14:33 | <Captain_Murdoch> | means lirc isn't detecting a signal that it can decode. I think xmode2 will show you a graph of the data the remote is receiving. search for info on that. |
| 14:34 | <SarahEmm> | yeah, mode2 i'm using now (console), it'll detect buttonpushes for like 15 seconds, then nothing more until i ctrl-C it and restart it, then ti's fine again |
| 14:34 | <SarahEmm> | a scope on the output of the IR module shows pulse trains still coming off when mode2 isn't displaying anything |
| 14:35 | <SarahEmm> | so it doesn't look to be hardware.. |
| 14:37 | <SarahEmm> | my laptop screen also evidently puts out a ton of IR, so i have to make sure the screen stays pointed away from the ir receiver when recording codes.. |

| 14:54 | <jeff_> | Hi all... I'm trying to use mythfrontend on a different PC.. I have mysql.txt setup to connect to a remote server, andI am able to connect to that server using those settings w/ mysql client. However when I start mythfrontend I get this error: Can't connect to mysql server through socket /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock |
| 14:55 | <DavidP_> | I'm looking to potentially upgrade the comp I use mythtv on (I just got a pcHDTV card and I use it as well as my PVR-250) |
| 14:55 | <DavidP_> | Anyway, Celerons are reaaally cheap now even above 2.2ghz... but how much will cache ram affect video decoding? |
| 14:56 | <Griffon26> | DavidP_: planning to do HD time-shifting? |
| 14:56 | <DavidP_> | Yah |
| 14:56 | <Griffon26> | nais |
| 14:56 | <DavidP_> | ?? |
| 14:57 | <Griffon26> | nice |

| 14:57 | <DavidP_> | I just ordered the card 10 minutes ago and I set up an antenna earlier today. |
| 14:57 | <DavidP_> | Amazingly cheap for a 75 mile UHF only |
| 14:57 | <SarahEmm> | DavidP_: i'm running a celeron 1.7 and i can do live tv w/ MPEG4 480x480 |
| 14:57 | <DavidP_> | Hmm |
| 14:58 | <DavidP_> | Oi... *beats Trillian* now why am I called DavidP_? |
| 14:58 | -!- | DavidP_ is now known as ByteNik |
| 14:58 | <ByteNik> | :P |
| 14:58 | <Griffon26> | but mpeg4 is sw encoding, so if you use hw encoded mpeg2 it's way faster, isn't it? |
| 14:58 | <SarahEmm> | yep |
| 14:58 | <ByteNik> | Yah |
| 14:58 | <SarahEmm> | i just figured i'd offer a data point |
| 14:58 | <Griffon26> | doesn't the PVR have hw mpeg2 enc? |
| 14:58 | <ByteNik> | Yes |
| 14:58 | <Griffon26> | ehh |
| 14:59 | <SarahEmm> | if i can do this on a celeron 1.7, you should be able to do any kind of single stream encode/decoding you want with hardware encode on a 2.2ghz |
| 14:59 | <ByteNik> | And of course pcHDTV is already receiving an MPEG stream off-air |
| 14:59 | <ByteNik> | So the only work is in the decoding. |
| 15:00 | <ByteNik> | I wish there was Linux support for the built-in decoder in my GeForce FX |
| 15:00 | <ByteNik> | SarahEmm: Do you have 256 kb or 128 kb of cache? |
| 15:01 | <SarahEmm> | whatever a celeron 1.7 has.. let me check |
| 15:01 | <ByteNik> | They made two. |
| 15:01 | <ByteNik> | One of them has quarter cache (128kb) and one has half cache (256kb) |
| 15:02 | <SarahEmm> | same FSB, same socket? |
| 15:02 | <ByteNik> | I believe so. |
| 15:02 | <ByteNik> | Socket 478 for both I think |
| 15:02 | <SarahEmm> | then i have no idea.. |
| 15:02 | <SarahEmm> | any way to find out in linux? |
| 15:02 | <SarahEmm> | cpuinfo says 'cache size: 8KB' which i assume is L1 |
| 15:02 | <ByteNik> | Yah |
| 15:02 | <ByteNik> | Hmm... also how much ram do you have, and is it DDR or not? |
| 15:03 | <SarahEmm> | 256MB DDR |
| 15:03 | <ByteNik> | k |
| 15:03 | <ByteNik> | Well, I might not upgrade until I receive the card and actually play with it first... Right now I have a 1ghz Celeron in my Myth computer. |
| 15:04 | <ByteNik> | I'd have to buy new RAM too. |

| 15:48 | <cmorgan> | oddly enough i changed it back manually and tried it again through the setup and it changed... |
| 15:48 | <cmorgan> | so yeah, must have been me |
| 15:48 | <Chutt> | i think matthias meyer just qualified for the dumbest person to ever post to mythtv-users |
| 15:54 | <Captain_Murdoch> | I thought that Myth came with software demultiplexing encoder tuners that would use my floppy drive to on-the-fly mpeg10 compression which would give me 2 hours of video on a 2.88Mbyte floppy. |
| 15:54 | <SarahEmm> | lol |
| 15:55 | <sfr> | only two hours? bah, windows puts 3.5 on one floppy. |
| 15:56 | <Captain_Murdoch> | I'm waiting for those 8 inch floppies to come back into style so we can fit 8 hours on one floppy. |
| 15:56 | <cmorgan> | well it works now with mythtv |
| 15:56 | <cmorgan> | no Xv support in my X server though... |
| 15:56 | <cmorgan> | so its running quite slow.. |
| 15:56 | <Chutt> | that's probably an understatement =) |
| 15:56 | <cmorgan> | what is my issue with that? |
| 15:57 | <cmorgan> | i don't have the nvidia drivers, using the builtin ones, debian unstable machine |
| 15:57 | <Chutt> | no xv means it has to do a lot more stuff, and that codepath isn't optimized at all |
| 15:57 | <Chutt> | debian has packages to help install the nvidia drivers |
| 15:57 | <cmorgan> | should i try those? |
| 15:57 | <cmorgan> | nvidia-glx-src and nvidia-kernel-src? |
| 15:58 | <Chutt> | well |
| 15:58 | <Chutt> | no |
| 15:58 | <Chutt> | since you really want to use an older version of the driver |
| 15:58 | <Chutt> | .4496 is broken |
| 15:58 | <cmorgan> | do i? |
| 15:58 | <Chutt> | you want .4363 |
| 15:58 | <cmorgan> | ahh |
| 15:58 | <cmorgan> | i can get that from their website |
| 15:58 | <Chutt> | well, it's not _broken_ |
| 15:58 | <cmorgan> | right? |
| 15:58 | <Chutt> | yeah |
| 15:58 | <Chutt> | it's easy to install |

| 20:21 | <raboof> | hi |
| 20:21 | <raboof> | do i need to install all of the 'mythtv' core stuff if I only want to use mythmusic? |
| 20:22 | <raboof> | (very cool project on the whole btw, i really should get a video capture device, new pc and television some day :)) |
| 20:24 | <SarahEmm> | yes raboof, you do |
| 20:24 | <SarahEmm> | mythmusic plugs into the main mythtv system |
| 20:24 | <SarahEmm> | mythmusic does rock, too. |
| 20:25 | <raboof> | but after i've made libmyth (or whatever it was called again) i can run mythmusic 'standalone'? |
| 20:25 | <SarahEmm> | i dunno, never tried |
| 20:26 | <SarahEmm> | why not just run the main myth and select Music? |
| 20:27 | <raboof> | well, of course i could do that ;) |
| 20:27 | <raboof> | but it seems rather pointless since i'm not going to use any of the other parts probably |
| 20:28 | <SarahEmm> | what's the standard way to submit patches? |
| 20:28 | <SarahEmm> | send it in and email to mythtv-dev? |
| 20:28 | | * SarahEmm should have her album-cover-display patch cleaned up tomorrow |
| 20:33 | <raboof> | this is pretty odd |
| 20:33 | <raboof> | i can find a debian repository with woody mythtv packages |
| 20:33 | <raboof> | but not for xmltv, on which mythtv depends |
| 20:40 | -!- | Kasperle [~lboehne@p508E8CD0.dip0.t-ipconnect.de] has quit ["Happiness ... is watching Windows reboot"] |
| 20:42 | <mrra> | xmltv is in Debian |
| 20:43 | <raboof> | not on woody i386 |
| 20:43 | <mrra> | http://packages.debian.org/cgi-bin/search_packages.pl?keywords=xmltv&searchon=names&subword=1&version=all&release=all |
| 20:43 | <mrra> | true, but it's in testing and unstable |
| 20:44 | <raboof> | i won't argue with that |
| 20:44 | <mrra> | So what's the problem then? |
| 20:44 | <raboof> | there is no problem |
| 20:44 | <raboof> | i was just saying it was odd that there were woody packages for mythtv but not for xmltv |
| 20:45 | <raboof> | or at least, that i found it odd |
| 20:45 | <mrra> | nod. I don't think it's odd. |
| 20:45 | <mrra> | I would assume people that install the woody packages use xmltv from testing. |
| 20:46 | <raboof> | i would assume it to be a better idea to backport xmltv also, can't be *that* much work after doing mythtv completely |
| 20:46 | <mrra> | Right, and to take that logic further the reason it wasn't done suggests there was a good reason not to do it. |
| 20:48 | <raboof> | anyway, it's not like i'm going to use it at all |
| 20:48 | <mrra> | it = mythtv? |
| 20:48 | <raboof> | the xmltv stuff in mythtv |
| 20:49 | <raboof> | i'll try mythtv for tv when i get a new computer and television ;) |

| 20:49 | <mrra> | nod. So, you don't have cable? |
| 20:49 | <mrra> | also, if you have a dvd player there is also a dvd plugin. |
| 20:50 | <mrra> | and mythweather rocks as well |
| 20:50 | <raboof> | i have cable, but my television doesn't have a normal 'input' and i don't have a machine to put a video capture card |
| 20:50 | <raboof> | so... :) |
| 20:50 | <SarahEmm> | hey, i don't have cable, i use Myth |
| 20:51 | <SarahEmm> | with my antenna :) |
| 20:51 | <SarahEmm> | (tho, i'm getting cable, as soon as i can convince the cable company to provide it) |
| 20:51 | <mrra> | raboof: just not enough room? |
| 20:51 | <SarahEmm> | what kind of input does it have? |
| 20:51 | <raboof> | mrra: not enough room and not enough power (500mhz celeron laptop) |
| 20:51 | <raboof> | SarahEmm: only cable |
| 20:51 | <mrra> | I'd highly recommend dropping $10-20 bucks on a hauppauge card on ebay |
| 20:52 | <SarahEmm> | ahh, well you could use a modulator raboof |
| 20:52 | <SarahEmm> | or get a new TV :) |
| 20:52 | <raboof> | this one is slowly breaking down already :) |
| 20:53 | <SarahEmm> | ahh |
| 20:53 | <raboof> | but i'm not really up to spending a lot of money at the moment |
| 20:55 | <cmorgan> | how does myth decide to use default vs. high/low quality? |
| 20:57 | <Captain_Murdoch> | default unless you select high or low. |
| 20:57 | <cmorgan> | how would i go about selecting high vs. low? |
| 20:58 | <Captain_Murdoch> | advanced recording options screen. either hit 'I' while on the regular recording option screen or turn on "always use advanced recording optiosn screen" in setup. |
| 20:58 | <Captain_Murdoch> | or you can do profiles through mythweb I think. |
| 20:58 | <SarahEmm> | raboof: ahh.. i was using it semi-usably on my Duron (my devel box, not dedicated to Myth) for awhile, and just recently dropped some money on a dedicated Myth box that runs very well, MPEG4 @ 480x480, and lots of space for video |
| 20:59 | <cmorgan> | Captain_Murdoch: ahh yes |
| 21:01 | <raboof> | hmm, looks like mythtv is too heavy on my xterm :) |
| 21:01 | <cmorgan> | Captain_Murdoch: i didn't find that menu very intuitive. while they are all definining recording settings i kept wondering about livetv vs. other ones... |
| 21:01 | <raboof> | In file kernel/qpixmap_x11.cpp, line 650: Out of memory |
| 21:02 | <Captain_Murdoch> | you mean recording profiles? not sure what docs say about it. maybe they describe it well enough for people who don't know much about myth. |
| 21:02 | <mechou> | raboof, dang, what video card are you using? |
| 21:02 | <cmorgan> | Captain_Murdoch: yeah, i found the recording profiles but what i really wanted to do was change my live tv resolution to 720x480 |
| 21:02 | <raboof> | mechou: eh, dunno, but it's an X terminal :) |
| 21:03 | <raboof> | mechou: with a whopping 16 megs of memory |
| 21:04 | <raboof> | of course i'd like more, and there are even 2 slots free on the board |
| 21:04 | <raboof> | but they require 100-pins DIMMs. no joke. |
| 21:04 | <cmorgan> | Captain_Murdoch: looking for something to hack on with myth actually... any ideas? ;-) |

| 21:20 | <Griffon26> | yeah |
| 21:20 | <cmorgan> | you should be able to ignore those |
| 21:21 | <Chutt> | try pasting the entire error. |
| 21:21 | <cmorgan> | as long as the current data is correct |
| 21:21 | <Griffon26> | I tried ignoring them, but I noticed mythtv didn't tune to a good channel |
| 21:21 | <Griffon26> | then I read that could be because of mythfilldatabase screwing things up |
| 21:21 | <cmorgan> | you may need to clear out that table in the database |
| 21:22 | <Griffon26> | Chutt: complete error is this: |
| 21:22 | <Chutt> | don't message me |
| 21:22 | <Griffon26> | I pasted in pm, bit too much for channel |
| 21:22 | <kvandivo> | that looks familiar.. did it cross midnight when you ran mythfilldatabase, and are you running CVS? |
| 21:22 | <Chutt> | no, it's not too much fot the channel. |
| 21:23 | <Griffon26> | shall I repeat in the channel then? |
| 21:23 | <kvandivo> | i was getting those before my patch |
| 21:23 | <Chutt> | no. |
| 21:23 | <Griffon26> | different channels have different policies |
| 21:23 | <Chutt> | he most likely is getting duplicate channels, or the midnight stuff. |

| 21:30 | <fulbert> | I added a second machine with a third pvr250 card to my master backend which has two 250s already, since then I have been getting "Missing: 3 in tvList" on the backend console, any ideas? |
| 21:30 | <fulbert> | oh, and the third card does not seem to be noted by the backend, 3 shows at the same time show a conflict still. |
| 21:34 | <Griffon26> | hmm, can someone give me some tips on how to debug the tuning? I haven't seen any real channels yet. |
| 21:35 | <cmorgan> | does mythbackend report any errors? |
| 21:35 | <tzanger> | fulbert: how's the 250 working for you? |
| 21:36 | <fulbert> | the two in the master have been working great. I've been using them since June. |
| 21:36 | <Griffon26> | cmorgan: nothing related to video as far as I can tell |
| 21:37 | <cmorgan> | Griffon26: any other error output? what is it not doing? |
| 21:37 | <Chutt> | fulbert, your database is out of whack |
| 21:37 | <fulbert> | ah |
| 21:37 | <Chutt> | clear out the capture card stuff and reconfigure it |
| 21:37 | <Griffon26> | it shows me the output that I used to get with xawtv when I did not tune to a channel (some noise in the upper part of the screen) |
| 21:37 | <fulbert> | ok. |
| 21:38 | <fulbert> | would that maybe also explain why my channels are all +1 now? |
| 21:38 | <Chutt> | +1? |
| 21:38 | <fulbert> | I seem to have two channel 16's now. |
| 21:38 | <Chutt> | unless you created a new channel source |
| 21:38 | <cmorgan> | Griffon26: ahh... i've never gotten xawtv to work... heh |
| 21:38 | <Chutt> | for the new card |
| 21:38 | <fulbert> | yeah, so a program on 42, is named 1043... now |
| 21:38 | <Chutt> | that's not really a problem |
| 21:38 | <Griffon26> | cmorgan: in any case it doesn't look like it's switching channels and I also can't quit it normally |
| 21:39 | <Chutt> | and, you need to be sure to run the backend on the slave machine, else it won't use the card for resolving conflicts |
| 21:39 | <Griffon26> | after trying to switch channels that is |
| 21:39 | <cmorgan> | Griffon26: ahh... and no errors from mythbackend? |
| 21:39 | <cmorgan> | Griffon26: might be worth just blowing away and recreating your database |
| 21:39 | <Chutt> | griffon26, you probably didn't set it up for PAL mode and stuff. |
| 21:40 | <Chutt> | and the proper frequency table. |
| 21:40 | <Griffon26> | Chutt: hmm, I did select PAL, maybe I selected the wrong one |
| 21:40 | <Griffon26> | cmorgan: nope, only that it cannot open the audio device |
| 21:40 | <fulbert> | chutt, when you say run the backend on the slave, you mean just a backend process, not another database and all right ? |
| 21:41 | <Chutt> | if it can't open the audio, stuff's fucked up, and it won't do anything right. |
| 21:41 | <Chutt> | fulbert, right |
| 21:41 | <cmorgan> | should it matter if the audio can't be opened? |
| 21:41 | <fulbert> | ok, thanks. |
| 21:41 | <Chutt> | yes, it should matter |
| 21:41 | <cmorgan> | why? |
| 21:41 | <Chutt> | um, what would be the point otherwise? |
| 21:42 | <cmorgan> | well why have everything go to hell just because audio isn't working? |
| 21:42 | <Chutt> | because i don't really care to spend time writing code for people who can't set up their system right |
| 21:42 | <cmorgan> | heh |
| 21:42 | <fulbert> | it looks like the two channel 16s are coming from xmltv. Seems to have started a week or so ago. I'll ignore if it's not hurting anything. |
| 21:42 | <josephk> | don't use KDE either...hehe |
| 21:47 | <josephk> | *silence* |
| 21:56 | <Griffon26> | ok, fixed the audio thing, now I'm getting a useful error |
| 22:00 | <Soopaman> | chutt, is there a way to ensure that the audio for livetv playback synchs with the video? |
| 22:01 | <Griffon26> | where should I look for the channel frequencies and how are they set? |
| 22:03 | <cmorgan> | shouldn't mythfilldatabase set those up? |
| 22:04 | <Griffon26> | but that's not the only thing it does I think... anyway, I dumped the database but I didn't see anything about frequencies |

| 23:10 | <[DJ]HaCK> | is it possible to have machine-specific settings for the frontend ie. my main frontend has enough power to play 640x480 mpeg4 with mp3 sound while fujitsu pen tablet only got a pentium 233 , and only works right with rtjpeg 320x240 and uncompressed sound , right now I have to change the live tv profile anytime I watch tv on another device |

| 23:23 | <robbie> | afternoons all |
| 23:23 | <robbie> | im about to do a port of mythtv to the Linux Terminal Server Project so I can run some diskless frontends |
| 23:24 | <robbie> | and would like to ask a few questions being we have a buildkit for ltsp now that we have built from sauce |
| 23:24 | <robbie> | anyone awake ? |
| 23:25 | <robbie> | am i correct in that i need the qt-x11-free-3.2.1.tar.bz2 tarball ? |
| 23:25 | <cmorgan> | you need qt3 devel libraries i think |
| 23:25 | <cmorgan> | so yeah, that may provide those |
| 23:26 | <robbie> | okeys |
| 23:26 | <cmorgan> | look at the software prereqs on the mythtv.org documentation page |
| 23:26 | <robbie> | i am, however its mainly for distros |
| 23:26 | <robbie> | and names packages |
| 23:26 | <robbie> | anyhoo, downloading that now |
| 23:27 | <cmorgan> | anyone know if you can do both ir input and output at the same time? control myth with a remote and have myth tell your cable box to change channels??? |
