00:13 | <mrra> | I need an IR blaster as well. |
00:14 | <mrra> | overridex: have you looked here? http://store.snapstream.com/cablepacks.html |
00:15 | <overridex> | mrra: yeah, i have a commercial ir blaster but it doesn't work with my cable box (needs a different frequency but it doesn't use the lirc_serial driver so i can't change it...) |
00:16 | <mrra> | doh |
00:17 | <mrra> | I've shown the schematics from lirc.org to some electrical friends of mine and they said it looks easy to build. |
00:26 | <overridex> | hehe yeah, now if i just knew enough for reading diagrams.... which is the reason i'm looking for more info like a howto :) |
00:41 | <dban> | does anyone know if the options passing mechanism in the filter api is operational? |

02:38 | <overridex> | hehe |
02:38 | <mithro> | i have some questions about using MythTV on the EPIA series boards |
02:39 | <mithro> | btw mythtv rocks :) |
02:39 | <mithro> | also have some questions about mythvideo |
02:41 | <mithro> | anyone around got some time/knowledge to answer them? |
02:41 | <[DJ]HaCK> | you should just ask |
02:42 | <mithro> | okay i will then :) |
02:42 | <mithro> | but no point wasting my fingers if nobody has any idea about mythvideo :) |
02:43 | <[DJ]HaCK> | I was just about to use it , probably others have already |
02:44 | | * mithro was hearing some stuff about mythvideo now support abitary files/sources for the information |
02:44 | <mithro> | i have dvd episodes (IE Stargate/Farscape/etc) rips which i would like to use in myth |
02:45 | <overridex> | mithro: yeah i was wondering about that myself, i haven't really messed with the cvs mythvideo yet |
02:45 | <mithro> | but they don't appear very well as they don't have a IMMB (?) code |
02:45 | <overridex> | but i encode a lot of the stuff i record in mythtv to xvid/ogg, but it'd be nice to keep it in mythvideo... |
02:45 | <mithro> | well - in 0.10 |

02:46 | <overridex> | ah i see |
02:47 | <mithro> | overridex: the debs for mythvideo stop at 0.10 - got 0.11 of everything else |
02:47 | <mithro> | am about to try myhtv from cvs |
02:47 | <overridex> | ah i see |
02:48 | | * mithro has an athlon 1800+ with a 80gig HD, 64mb Ram and a DVD Drive |
02:49 | <mithro> | plus a bttv compatible tuner |
02:49 | <[DJ]HaCK> | you have the backend and the frontend on the same computer ? |
02:50 | <mithro> | yeah |
02:50 | <DogBoy> | not much ram that |
02:50 | <mithro> | only got tv points in the room with the TV so seperate boxes seems overkill :) |
02:50 | <mithro> | DogBoy: it's not using any swap |
02:51 | <DogBoy> | with mythtv installed? |
02:51 | <DogBoy> | and running |
02:52 | <mithro> | yeah |
02:52 | <mithro> | (well version 0.11) |
02:52 | <DogBoy> | interesting |

02:53 | <mithro> | the mboard doesn't seem to be stable if i go to more then 64mb ram |
02:53 | <mithro> | which is really annoying |
02:53 | <mechou> | what board is it? |
02:53 | <mithro> | i suppose i did get a cheap ass PCChips one |
02:54 | <mithro> | hence why i was looking at the possibility of getting an EPIA-M board (might solve some of my sound issues as well) |
02:54 | <mechou> | let me guess, ecs k7s5a? |
02:54 | <mithro> | nope |
02:54 | <mithro> | M810 |
02:55 | <mithro> | it's stable with you have 1700+ with < 64mb ram |
02:55 | <mithro> | or less then 1.2 Ghz with any amount of ram |
02:56 | <mithro> | s/sound/fan noise |
02:56 | <mechou> | I dont think that board is supposed to support athlonXP's..... |
02:57 | <mithro> | the site says it does :) |
02:57 | <mithro> | could be just cheapo ram as well :) |
02:57 | <mechou> | surprise you can get it running with 1800+. I'm looking at the site, I don't see XP supoort.... |
02:58 | | * mithro ponders |
02:58 | <[DJ]HaCK> | pcchips/ecs both terrible board manufacturers |
02:59 | <mechou> | http://www.ecsusa.com/products/k7sem.html |
02:59 | <mechou> | aka m810.... |
02:59 | <[DJ]HaCK> | (in fact they are the same factory) |
03:00 | <mithro> | they make okay desktop POS machines |
03:00 | <mechou> | [DJ]HaCK: I agree w/you. But them board cost any from 50% to 33% of the competition.... |
03:01 | <mithro> | so anyone here using an EPIA board? the news on the website said some hardware support was being added? |
03:02 | <[DJ]HaCK> | they do work , but then do you want your POS to die in the middle of a big sale :\ that's why I only sell MSI with grade A PSU |
03:03 | -!- | tmk [~no@12-234-205-129.client.attbi.com] has quit [] |
03:03 | <[DJ]HaCK> | I have one I'm building mounting as the car computer in a friend's car , they're quite nice but I haven't tried mythtv with it |
03:03 | <mechou> | Idon't use EPIA, but Chutt has some prior experience. Say CPU might be underpowered, iirc.... |
03:03 | <[DJ]HaCK> | though they play divx dvdrip -very- well so mythtv is just as demanding so it should work just as nice |
03:04 | <[DJ]HaCK> | but you don't want to run both the backend and the frontend on a epia |
03:04 | <[DJ]HaCK> | not if you want maximum video quality .. |
03:05 | <mechou> | encoding takes more CPU.... |
03:06 | <[DJ]HaCK> | also if you have the backend recording a show and you start a demanding game , you'll cause the background recording to drop frames |
03:06 | <mithro> | what if you got a hardware encoder card? |
03:07 | <mechou> | i don't remember, iirc chutt said decoding was marginal.... |
03:07 | <mithro> | i don't use this machine for gaming or anything |
03:07 | <[DJ]HaCK> | might help , but still if there's a recording but the games stall the computer for a second (maybe while loading a level) you'll still have dropped frames |
03:08 | <mechou> | you also EPIA is a PITA to install on linux, right? |
03:08 | <mechou> | you also know EPIA is a PITA to install on linux, right? |
03:09 | <[DJ]HaCK> | it's not ! I got everything working in about an hour using gentoo |
03:09 | <mechou> | BS, you cant even d'l gentoo in 1 hour, never mind compile... |
03:10 | <[DJ]HaCK> | alsa for sound , via-rhine for network , trident for video |
03:10 | <[DJ]HaCK> | I used GRP |
03:10 | <[DJ]HaCK> | precompiled packages |
03:12 | <[DJ]HaCK> | the longest part was waiting for the cd to finish copying files to the disk , about 20 mins , then I compiled the kernel and alsa , about 30 mins , then I finished setting up mplayer ntp XF86Config and I was done |
03:12 | <mechou> | yeah, I remember now. Chutt said something to the effect EPIA M10000 didn't have enough ommph to decode video if *you didn't use on board HW for motion compensation/accelaration* |
03:14 | <mechou> | If you use HW accleation, it might be OK, but CPU only, "forgit 'bout it", as the sopranos would say.... |
03:15 | <[DJ]HaCK> | it should work if you use RTjpeg , I can decode 320x240 mpeg 4 with my P233 w/ 32mb (but no sound so far , would probably work if I used rtjpeg) the 1ghz nehemia core ought to be better than my p233 |

03:16 | <mechou> | yeah, except hw encoder (pvr250) is more than 320x240 :) |
03:17 | <mechou> | and is not rtjpeg... |
03:17 | <[DJ]HaCK> | the pvr250 won't let you encode lower than 640x480 ? :\ mmm then he should use a good ol' bttv |
03:18 | <mechou> | Try the Pundit instaed..... |
03:18 | <mechou> | more CPU and slots.... |
03:19 | <mechou> | not much more expensive than EPIA, which I don't think is quite ready for myth. |
03:19 | <Chutt> | the nehemiah-based boards work fine. |
03:19 | <Chutt> | they're just slow. |
03:20 | <Chutt> | p3-500-ish |
03:20 | <Chutt> | with crappy video drivers |
03:22 | | * mithro main problem atm is his computer is to noisy |
03:23 | <mithro> | hence the attraction to the EPIA boards |
03:24 | <Chutt> | why do you think those are quiet? |
03:24 | <Chutt> | the m10000 has a rather loud cpu fan |
03:25 | <Chutt> | the fanless ones aren't fast enough to be more than toys |
03:25 | <mithro> | doh! |
03:26 | <mechou> | mithro, is your tv sdtv or hdtv? |
03:26 | <mithro> | my card is analog tv |
03:26 | <mithro> | although I am looking into getting a digital HDTV card |
03:27 | <mechou> | put uour noisy computer in the closet and use this: http://www.hauppauge.com/html/mediamvp_datasheet.pdf |
03:27 | | * mithro has a zalman heatsink on his athlon |
03:27 | <mithro> | however the power supply is really noisy |
03:28 | <mithro> | and quite power cost more then the computer! |
03:28 | <mechou> | mithro, did you get the chance to look at my link? |
03:28 | <mithro> | looking now |
03:28 | <mechou> | $99 apparently. |
03:29 | | * mithro only paid $US230 for the whole computer |
03:30 | <mithro> | Chutt: what would you recommend doing for a quite single computer MythTV solution |
03:30 | <mechou> | well, you don't exactly get reliable operation with that comp, do you? :) |
03:31 | <mithro> | yeah :) |
03:31 | <mithro> | well the computer works fine |
03:31 | <mithro> | just as long as i don't put more ram in it :) |
03:31 | <mithro> | havn't had it crash in 45 days |
03:31 | <mithro> | (last time it died because of a black out) |
03:32 | <mechou> | xp18000 with 64MB is like putting bicycle tires on a porsche.... |
03:32 | <mechou> | xp1800+ |
03:33 | <mechou> | you go nowhere plenty fast :) |
03:34 | <[DJ]HaCK> | a friend of mine got a IN-WIN L545 case with a MSI KM4M-L + AMD 2500+ + 256DDR + 120GB + CDRW+DVD + GF4TI4200 , it's just the cutest thing and works damn fast , he's using it as all-in-one backend & frontend all purpose machine .. just great |
03:35 | <mechou> | you should be able to upgrade your mobo and memory for less than $60 new..... |
03:36 | | * mithro is in Australia |
03:36 | <mechou> | which actually might be a good alternative, but doesn't solve your noise prob.... |
03:36 | <mechou> | Are things *that* much more expensive over there?? |
03:37 | <mithro> | well some things are :) |
03:38 | <mechou> | sheesh, you're closer to Asia where all those things get made. Bribe someone who goes on a business trip to asia, bring back some goodies... |
03:39 | <mithro> | :) |
03:39 | <mithro> | every other machine i own has > 512mb ram :) |
03:40 | <mechou> | so why dont you use one of those comps instead for myth? |
03:41 | <fulbert> | chutt, that resetting the database has fixed the slave backend system now. thanks again for the pointer. |
03:42 | <mithro> | because they all do other stuff |
03:42 | <mithro> | my main computer out the back runs the evil os |
03:43 | <mithro> | my server/firewall has to be near the phone point to run the adsl modem |
03:44 | <mithro> | and my laptop is well a laptop |
03:44 | <mechou> | mithro, I think u are stuck. Downgrade the CPU or upgrade mobo. Add more memory in both cases.... |
03:45 | <[DJ]HaCK> | run the backend on your server ? |
03:46 | <mithro> | not near the TV in point |
03:47 | <mechou> | I'd rather spend US$60 rather than US$140 + case on EPIA.... |
03:47 | <[DJ]HaCK> | you could just use an extension |
03:48 | <mechou> | and neither solve your noise prob.... |
03:48 | <mithro> | halfway across the house would cause major signal loose |

03:51 | <[DJ]HaCK> | anyone doing 1 step dvd to avi conversions ? |
03:52 | <[DJ]HaCK> | I want to archive I bunch of my dvds to playback with mythvideo |
03:52 | <[DJ]HaCK> | anyone knows of a way straighforward way to do that , like put dvd in drive , press button X , wait , done |
03:53 | <fulbert> | i have been playing with that idea also but have not come up with a recipe that works yet. |
03:53 | | * mithro compiles a new kernel |
03:53 | | * mithro just realised he has over 300 gig of HD space around his network |
03:54 | <[DJ]HaCK> | I was thinking , probably mplayer/mencoder would probably be the way to go |
03:54 | <fulbert> | keep getting tripped up with the crazy codecs and packages that need 20 other packages to work. |
03:55 | <fulbert> | I also can't seem to the the myth transcode working, which i assume is part of the same problem with my load. |
03:55 | <fulbert> | i have not spent any real time digging at it yet... one day. |
03:56 | <[DJ]HaCK> | mmm I don't want to sound like another gentoo zealot but ... you should try gentoo ;) |
03:57 | <fulbert> | yeah, i should likely using anything other than rh9, but it's just been my standard for many years now. |
03:58 | | * mithro couldn't stand to go past rh 7.3 |
03:58 | <mithro> | 8.0 and 9.0 have been crud |
03:58 | <fulbert> | i read the gentoo install info when i grabbed the iso's via bittorrent a while back, and it hurt my head at first, several steps to get the right platform. |
03:59 | <fulbert> | yeah, i agree. i switched to redhat somewhere in 96 or so after being a slackware fan for many years, but i got tired of having to build boot floppy and custom driver and kernel crap for every system. |
04:01 | <[DJ]HaCK> | gentoo is a -LOT- of work for the first install but once I did like 3 in a row and now I know the install procedure by heart and it's real easy , it's just very very long to compile but with the GRP packages (prebuilt stuff) it's possible to kickstart the system and update later |
04:03 | <[DJ]HaCK> | I had been using slackware ever since I began with linux (around 1998) , but just installing gentoo I learned a lot about the inner workings of linux |

13:50 | <o_c> | search the archive, some error with that.. you can manually fix it in the database.. fixed in cvs |

13:54 | <Griffon26> | something in the starttime is different, so I can't open the recording |

14:16 | <Griffon26> | hmm, how do you save the cut points? |
14:19 | <Bishop1> | i'm confused. got the mythbox working in my office. brought it out to living room, and i still only get antenna signal. |
14:20 | <Bishop1> | coax runs from wall, into directv, then coax out from directv to pvr card. shouldn't channel 3 be whatever directv is tuned to? |
14:21 | <fulbert> | are you using the same coax? |
14:23 | <Bishop1> | two pieces. one from wall to directv. one from directv to pvr. svideo from video card to tv. |
14:24 | <fulbert> | yeah, but is it the same one you know works in the office? in other words, are you sure you are using good cable for the living room? |
14:24 | <Bishop1> | yup. |
14:25 | <fulbert> | when you moved the myth box, did you reset the tuner for the correct input? |
14:27 | <Griffon26> | do you guys know how to save cut points? |
14:27 | <fulbert> | nope, so far I have not setup the transcoder to work at all. |

14:29 | <Bishop1> | whoa. anyone know why crtl + alt + backspace hard powers off the machine instead of restarting X? |
14:29 | <fulbert> | mm, I just have it set to autoskip using the blank frame detection and it's working fine. |
14:30 | <fulbert> | there are a few programs that it has not worked for, but I've just been skipping past them with the remote. |
14:33 | <Griffon26> | just wondering what the use is of cut points if you can't do anything with 'm |
14:34 | -!- | toe [~matthew@host81-128-83-93.in-addr.btopenworld.com] has joined #mythtv |
14:34 | <fulbert> | from what I understand, the transcoder will use them to jump stuff you want to edit out, so if you want to cut credits, or a commercial it does not auto flag, you can mark, then when the transcoder runs it will jump from marker to marker. |
14:34 | <fulbert> | that's what I undertand them to be used for. |
14:36 | <Griffon26> | fulbert: yeah, but they'd have to be remembered |
14:36 | <Griffon26> | if I set them, leave edit mode and re-enter edit mode, they're gone |
14:36 | <fulbert> | ah |
14:36 | <fulbert> | yeah, not sure, like I said, I have not played with them yet. |

17:04 | <gerhard> | it says "new channel found" name = deutsche welle" etc etc. and then it "choose a ...... |
17:04 | <sfr> | gerhard: mythtv usually numbers the chanid 1000,1001,1002... for the first tuner card. |
17:05 | <gerhard> | does that mean i shall call 1000 for that channel 1001 for the next and so on |
17:06 | <sfr> | gerhard: i think so, but i haven't used mythfilldatbase to setup channels in a loong time. you can add the --preset argument to mythfilldatabase to define the order of your channels. enter chanid = 0 for channels you want to skip. |
17:07 | <sfr> | gerhard: the --preset option got added for non-use users. it's not yet documented. |

18:50 | <Captain_Murdoch> | is anyone else seeing a bug where when you delete a recording the text info at the bottom doesn't show up again until you hit up/down? |
18:51 | <kraken> | I *think* I've seen that before |
18:52 | <Captain_Murdoch> | happening most times for me, but wanted to see if others saw it so I know whether it's a qt3.0 issue I shouldn't even try tracking down. |
18:53 | <kraken> | i'll find out if it happens for me, since i need to go delete several recordings that shouldn't have been done on cartoon network :p |
18:53 | <Captain_Murdoch> | :) not sure about that error. does LiveTV change channels properly? |
18:54 | <kraken> | good question...I never watch it, so let's find out |
18:55 | <Captain_Murdoch> | me neither. I use it to test occasionally but usually watch pre-recorded stuff. |
18:56 | <kraken> | oh now THAT's new |
18:57 | <kraken> | i get pure snow |
18:58 | <Captain_Murdoch> | did you try a delete? |
18:59 | <kraken> | mythfrontend locked up when i went into the delete screen |
18:59 | <Captain_Murdoch> | probably because of trying to playback a bad file. do you have preview on? |
18:59 | <Captain_Murdoch> | I never use that either. |
18:59 | <kraken> | nope, no preview |
19:00 | <kraken> | ok, that's it |
19:00 | <kraken> | i'm going to cleanse the db and update my ivtv driver |
19:00 | <kraken> | first the ivtv driver though |
19:00 | <Captain_Murdoch> | not sure then. I never use the delete screen either, always delete from the playback screen. |
19:13 | <Captain_Murdoch> | well, I committed a 1-line fix that solved the refresh problem here. |
19:16 | <Bishop> | any hints getting this to work with svideo and directv. i can do antenna just fine |
19:18 | <Captain_Murdoch> | need a remote channel changer script for the directv box and just set your input to the svideo input when you make a new video source in the backend setup. |
19:18 | <Captain_Murdoch> | howto covers all that I think and if not the mailing list should answer any questions. |
19:18 | <Captain_Murdoch> | mailing list archive that is. |
19:21 | <Bishop> | i don;t have an irblaster yet. i tought i could just set mythtv to channel 3 and watch whatever channel directv is on |
19:30 | <Captain_Murdoch> | bishop, you can do that, just don't tell myth to change channels, or you could change channels on the receiver manually and give myth an empty channel changer script so it thinks it is changing them. |
19:30 | <Captain_Murdoch> | set myth to use svideo though not channel 3 if you're using svideo cable and not antenna cable between receiver and tv card. |
19:32 | <Bishop> | will try. also, compiling from cvs right now and getting arror on mythmusic. make[1]: *** [cdrip.o] Error 1 |

21:47 | <mchou> | has everything you need. |
21:47 | <Bishop> | i did. i have all the other options in there. it still flutters |
21:47 | <mchou> | What's the Monitor section say? |
21:48 | <mchou> | or maybe it's Display. Dont remember any more.... |
21:49 | <mchou> | and describe exactly what you mean by "flutter" |
21:50 | <Bishop> | all the lines around a box or border flicker up and sown slightly. hard to explain |
21:51 | <Bishop> | the monitor section still has some of the configs from the Monitor |
21:52 | <mchou> | You ought to have a special TV "Monitor" section.... |
21:53 | <mchou> | your colors are OK, and "desktop" size is reasonable on TV? |
21:54 | <Bishop> | colors, desktop, everything great. it just wiggles. |
21:55 | <mchou> | did you try nvtv, maybe it has to do with flicker filter. Don't really know, not familiar w/ what you describe as flutter. |
21:56 | <Bishop> | nvtv? |
21:56 | <mchou> | this only happens with horizontal lines or vertical lines? |
21:56 | <mchou> | google for nvtv. |
21:57 | <Bishop> | horizontal only (left-right) |
22:14 | <davatar> | anyone try my dnr patch yet? I'm saving 30% disk space with rtjpeg.. :) |

22:20 | <ByteNik> | What's the status of cygwin building the mythfrontend? Has anyone done it yet? |
22:32 | <davatar> | Last time I checked cygwin's x server didn't support xvideo... slooooooow.. has that changed? |
22:34 | <robertj> | couldn't someone build it straight with win qt3? |
22:34 | <Bishop> | finally got mythmusic compiled. had to use a cvs i pulled about a week ago and it went right in. current cvs fails. FYI. |
22:35 | <robertj> | just being able to watch recorded programs is good enough for me I think |
22:36 | <davatar> | somebody posted a beta directshow filter to myth-dev.. did you try that? |
22:36 | <robertj> | no, but that's what I was referring to |
22:40 | <Bishop> | any way to get track numbers in mythmusic to write 01 and 02 insteal of 1 and 2 |
