00:02 | <Octane> | ok |
00:02 | <Octane> | should i be probing snd-emu10k1 |
00:03 | <Octane> | or emu10k1 |
00:04 | <Octane> | thing is |
00:04 | <Octane> | i see nothing in the mixer |
00:04 | <Octane> | its an empty window |
00:06 | <kvandivo> | oh.. you aren't making it that far.. |
00:06 | <kvandivo> | you should be probing something with alsa- in it. the snd- stuff is what you specify in the config file |
00:07 | <kvandivo> | err.. let me rephrase that.. your module conf for alsa should have an alias that points to snd- |
00:08 | <kvandivo> | I _do_ have a module loaded that is snd- |
00:11 | <Octane> | can you tell me what sound modules you have loaded? |

01:17 | <Chutt> | can i get away with 32k in a tight loop? |
01:17 | <Chutt> | well, it'd be 128k chunks, sending 32k at a time, so i can break out of the write quicker |
01:18 | <Chutt> | instead of waiting for the full 128k to get written |
01:21 | <tmk> | yeah 32k is fine |

12:48 | <o_cee> | i'll try another thing |
12:51 | <choenig> | did you test this theme on a TV? like ppl said it may have low contrast on one |
12:51 | <Chutt> | warlord, do you have 'extra audio buffering' turned on? |
12:52 | <warlord> | Chutt: i dont know. I dont _think_ so.. |
12:52 | <warlord> | but let me check -- the machine is rebooting right now. |
12:53 | <Chutt> | i think that would cause what you describe if there wasn't an audio track |
12:53 | <warlord> | Hmm, once I insmod ivtv-fb, I can't dd an mpg to /dev/video19 |
12:53 | <Chutt> | 16 |
12:54 | <warlord> | no, 19 |
12:54 | <Chutt> | oh, nevermind |
12:54 | <Chutt> | it's not your first device =) |
12:54 | <warlord> | Nope, it's my 4th |
12:54 | <Chutt> | you have to play with the ivtvfbctl stuff |
12:54 | <Chutt> | to turn off global alpha and turn on localalpha |
12:54 | <Chutt> | for video playback to be visible |
12:54 | <warlord> | Do I have to do that everytime, or just once? |
12:54 | <Chutt> | if you're using dd, yes |
12:54 | <warlord> | (I presume Myth does that itself when it's in control?) |
12:55 | <Chutt> | well, only if you change it back so the fb can be used again |
12:55 | <Chutt> | yeah, mythtv does all that for you |
12:55 | <o_cee> | choenig: i'm only testing it on a tv. what do you mean with the contrast? |
12:56 | <warlord> | Ok. Well it's off for now. I dont think I'm going to get it all set before I have to leave for a week, so I'll probably just leave it on S/W decode until I return.. |
12:56 | <Chutt> | ivank sent in a pretty much step by step dealie on how to get it going |
12:56 | <Chutt> | it's really quite easy :p |
12:56 | <choenig> | o_cee: ok, fine, I only meant that it may look pale or dull on a TV, but if you're actually testing it on one thats fine :-) |
12:57 | <warlord> | Chutt: to -dev or -users? |
12:57 | <o_cee> | i'm still not sure about the background.. but the watermarks makes it colorful enough i htink |
12:57 | <Chutt> | users |
12:57 | <Chutt> | last night |
12:58 | <Chutt> | My first attempt at PVR-350 TV-out "howto" (very LONG) |
12:58 | <warlord> | Yea, just found it. Cool, thanks |
12:58 | <warlord> | FWIW, the output *IS* significantly better with the 350!! :) |
12:59 | <Chutt> | of course it is |
12:59 | <warlord> | LOL |
12:59 | <o_cee> | ok, check preview3b.png .. those alternatives is pretty much what i can come up with. |
12:59 | <kvandivo> | you guys are making me want to put a computer up next to my tv in the living room |
12:59 | <choenig> | o_cee: thats better :) |
12:59 | <Chutt> | warlord, the default capture res/bitrates are pretty close to broadcast, excpect on small detail |
13:00 | <josephk> | not for me...hehe |
13:00 | <Chutt> | and the occasional decoding hiccup, but that's to be expected with this level of development drivers |
13:00 | <o_cee> | not really following -users, to much shit there. but the 350, will divx playback and such be supported as well? guess that's a matter of mplayer, do they plan support? |
13:00 | <josephk> | I like to jack it up to 8/9.5 for Live |
13:00 | <o_cee> | choenig: i'll use these a while and see how they feel ;) |
13:01 | <Chutt> | josephk, depends on the quality of your tv signal, of course |
13:01 | <warlord> | Chutt: thanks. I need to reduce my settings once I get the -350 setup. I'm still set at 8/16 |
13:01 | <o_cee> | need to fix the shadow first |
13:02 | <josephk> | my signal is pretty good...good cables help |
13:02 | <josephk> | I capture at 5/6.5 and that looks ok as well |
13:03 | <josephk> | or is it 5.5/7 ...hehe |
13:04 | <josephk> | I still can't figure out why my output stops under Mandrake...I hope RH will be more helpful |

13:12 | <josephk> | I would have disconnected the machine and thrown it across the room...don't troubleshoot...lol |
13:13 | <o_cee> | bah, now the tv is occupied :/ |
13:15 | <o_cee> | what about the new logo and the background then? |
13:18 | <warlord> | too bad I can't use ivtv-fb as the vt console. |
13:19 | <Chutt> | well, once someone fixes the pallette |
13:23 | <josephk> | anyone try getting myth running under mac os x? |
13:24 | <o_cee> | anyone who's got a suggestion for another background feel free to say so.. the blue one i tried first _is_ pretty nice as well, but the blue style feels so common |
13:27 | <warlord> | Chutt: to answer your previous question: yes, I have extra audio buffering turned on. |
13:28 | <Chutt> | well, that'll kill stuff without audio being present =) |

13:29 | <warlord> | I suppose I dont need that at all with the -350, huh? |
13:29 | <Chutt> | nope |
13:31 | <warlord> | i probably dont need the deinterlace or jitter reduction either, huh? |
13:31 | <Chutt> | they'll not do anything at all =) |

13:33 | <warlord> | Hmm, EPG from LiveTV looks --- weird. |
13:33 | <Chutt> | heh |
13:33 | <Chutt> | the transparency amount is hardcoded for now |
13:34 | <warlord> | I presume there's no way to do what it was doing before? |
13:34 | <Chutt> | 'course not |
13:34 | <warlord> | *sighs* |
13:34 | <warlord> | does PIP work? |
13:34 | <Chutt> | 'course not |
13:34 | <Chutt> | though |
13:34 | <Chutt> | it _could_ conceivably be done |
13:34 | <Chutt> | take a bit more cpu, though |
13:35 | <Chutt> | and i'm not sure what sort of framerate you'd get out of it |
13:35 | <warlord> | well, I was getting full framerate before... ;) |
13:35 | <o_cee> | framerate shouldn't be that important on a small pip imo |
13:35 | <o_cee> | better than nothing :) |
13:35 | <Chutt> | it'd have to be displayed on the osd |
13:35 | <Chutt> | and i really don't have the time to spend on stuff like that |
13:36 | <o_cee> | :) |
13:37 | <o_cee> | does the transparent epg look good? |
13:37 | <warlord> | Ok, a more immediate requirement: where is the code that hardcode's the alpha during EPG? My wife can't read it with the video behind the text and just wants the video turned off. |
13:37 | <warlord> | o_cee: no, it sucks |
13:37 | <Chutt> | it's quite readable here |
13:37 | <o_cee> | hehe |
13:37 | <warlord> | Chutt: you're clearly not dyslexic |
13:37 | <warlord> | congratulation |
13:37 | <o_cee> | won't that be possible to do with normal cards as well? |
13:38 | <warlord> | Hmm, and my machine just crashed hard. |
13:38 | <josephk> | I actually like the transparency but I can see how it would be unreadable at time |
13:38 | <josephk> | s |
13:39 | <kvandivo> | my mom dropped her cpu a couple of weeks ago when she was cleaning around it. now _that_ was a hard crash |
13:39 | <josephk> | *rimshot* |
13:39 | <o_cee> | :\ |
13:40 | <kvandivo> | luckily i got one of those cheap dells a few weeks ago.. now i've just got to get back home sometime so i can install it |
13:40 | <o_cee> | i passed my math exam. i'm very very happy about that :)) |
13:40 | <warlord> | Chutt: so you failed to answer my question. Where in the code can I find the EPG alpha so I can turn off the video (what file should I look at)? |
13:41 | <josephk> | ooo...he said failed |
13:42 | <Chutt> | there's 2 pvr-350 specific files. |
13:42 | <Chutt> | you can find it your own damn self with that attitude. |
13:42 | <warlord> | Neat, I just crashed it a second time.. |
13:42 | <o_cee> | Chutt: will you make the transparent epg availible on normal cards as well? or that's a completely diferent deal? |
13:42 | <warlord> | what attitude? |
13:43 | <josephk> | o_cee: I think that was a happy little accident |
13:43 | <Chutt> | o_cee, it's completely different |
13:43 | <kvandivo> | the one where you only waited 3 minutes for a reply and used the word failed |

13:43 | <warlord> | Anyways, I dont think this is going to be stable enough for my wife while I'm away for a week.. :( |
13:43 | <Chutt> | the driver is alpha |
13:43 | <o_cee> | Chutt: allrighty. sounds like a cool idea. |
13:43 | <Chutt> | it hasn't been released. |
13:43 | <josephk> | warlord...where were you when mine was crashing every 3 hours?:) |
13:44 | <warlord> | Chutt: hey, lots of alpha stuff is still pretty good. |
13:44 | <warlord> | josephk: I dont know, but it's crashed twice in about 15 minutes, so.... |
13:44 | <Chutt> | generally, reverse engineered drivers don't qualify for that |
13:45 | <josephk> | turn down the mbps and see if it crashes as often |
13:46 | <warlord> | josephk: I'll try that when I return from my trip. But thanks for the suggestion. |
13:46 | <josephk> | warlord: what distro? |
13:46 | <warlord> | RH9 |
13:46 | <josephk> | greeeat |
13:47 | <warlord> | ?? |
13:47 | <josephk> | I'm setting up on RH9 now to see if it crashes the same as Mandrake |
13:47 | <josephk> | they |
13:47 | <josephk> | 're very similar |
13:47 | <Chutt> | i'd imagine higher bitrates would have greater chances of locking up the driver |
13:47 | <Chutt> | especially on certain motherboards |
13:48 | <Chutt> | as it's doing tons of little dmas all around, and that seems to be the sticking point for stability |
13:48 | <josephk> | on a certain motherboard of mine...via...it would lock up in a few minutes |
13:48 | <warlord> | Chutt: yea, it certainly makes sense... I just dont have the time to experiment right now. I've only got about 3 hours to play before i'm hosed and then go away. |
13:48 | <o_cee> | is the location of the weather images hardcoded? i can't put those files in a subdir? |
13:48 | | * warlord has an nforce2 |
13:48 | <josephk> | I've tried 4 motherboards though |
13:49 | <Chutt> | rest is just driver stability |
13:49 | <josephk> | the rest lock up after an hour or two |
13:49 | <Chutt> | i've never had it lock up on me, and the thing's been in production use since before 0.12 was released |
13:49 | <warlord> | I'm sure it will stabilize over time. |
13:49 | <josephk> | although I got the KT400 to go for 18 hours...I have no idea how |
13:56 | <o_cee> | ok guys, do you feel like helping me out choosing watermark images? |
13:56 | <o_cee> | take the url and browse that dir to see all files there |
13:57 | <o_cee> | there's three different images for music.. let me know wich one you like the best please. |
13:59 | <warlord> | well, at least I have all the prep-work to get the -350 set up. I'll play more when I'm going to be in town. Thanks for the help, chutt. |
14:01 | <o_cee> | https://dragon.dyndns.tv/mythtv/ |
14:03 | <josephk> | eclectic |
14:03 | <josephk> | :) |
14:03 | <steelep> | that is a sweet theme o_cee |
14:03 | <o_cee> | of course steelep :) |
14:03 | <steelep> | just include all of them and let us have some choices :) |
14:03 | <steelep> | and make some colored bgs |
14:03 | <o_cee> | i'll probably do that as well, but i need to settle for a standard one |
14:03 | <Chutt> | 2nd or 3rd |
14:03 | <josephk> | now you've got me wanting to make a theme |
14:04 | <steelep> | i'd say #3 for a deafult |
14:04 | <o_cee> | Chutt: what do you think about the idea that a theme can have multiple backgrounds easily changed? instead of making multiple themes |
14:04 | <Chutt> | everything can be easily changed |
14:04 | <Chutt> | i dunno, i've been kinda wanting to whip up a theme editor |
14:04 | <o_cee> | yeah, but i mean through the gui |
14:04 | <steelep> | I just go in and hack the xml |
14:04 | <Chutt> | but it'd be external to mythtv, probably be a normal qt app |
14:05 | <o_cee> | would be nice |
14:05 | <josephk> | o_cee...can you have a cowbell for music...hehe |
14:05 | <o_cee> | uhm :) |
14:05 | <josephk> | thats ok...I'll make a blue_oyster_cult theme |
14:06 | <o_cee> | think i'll take the third one as default. |

15:29 | <Chutt> | http://membled.com/work/apps/xmltv/#grabber_news |
15:29 | <sfr> | rooot: tv_grab_de doesn't work since September. see the xmltv website for alternatives |
15:29 | <Chutt> | good idea to, i dunno, look at the xmltv page if you have a problem with xmltv |
15:29 | <rooot> | thnx, i'll see |
15:34 | <rooot> | hm, seems that i need an alternative software to grad another feed and convert it to xmltv. :( |

15:38 | <sfr> | 'anyone here using a pcHDTV card' ;) |
15:40 | <ByteNik> | lol |
15:40 | <ByteNik> | I have it working. I'm going to write a how-to |
15:40 | <ByteNik> | It took me 74 hours of my time, plus all the hours before I decided it'd be worthwhile to time it. :P |
15:41 | <o_cee> | thor_: right. i'll see if i can fix it tomorrow morning.. it's 9:40 here now, already evening :) |
15:41 | <o_cee> | did anyone look at the gallery pictures? |
15:41 | <ByteNik> | I got the PVR-250 running and the pcHDTV. finally. :P |
15:41 | <sfr> | ByteNik: :-). the pcHDTV is featurewise like a bt878 card? except it's for HDTV? |
15:41 | <o_cee> | using camera2.png npw |
15:42 | <ByteNik> | sfr: Yah |
15:42 | <ByteNik> | sfr: It has bt878 for NTSC also tho I believe |
15:42 | <o_cee> | back to 24. |
15:42 | <ByteNik> | sfr: I haven't played with the NTSC yet... that'll be project 2 |
15:44 | <ByteNik> | Also, things not to try: Using mplayer in twm... it doesn't work. :P |
15:44 | <ByteNik> | I spent forever playing with it until I got so sick of using twm I emerged a window manager |
15:44 | <ByteNik> | Suddenly it worked |
15:45 | <ByteNik> | Other mistakes: Not plugging in the coax wire into the HDTV card |
15:45 | <sfr> | hehe |
15:45 | <ByteNik> | Installing 10 different versions of the driver at the same time and not being sure which is working. |
15:46 | <ByteNik> | My best one was when I had the drivers installed and running and I could do cat /dev/video32... but I only got back data every 2-3 seconds... and dtvsignal showed no signal |
15:46 | <ByteNik> | I wonder how hard it is to make an ebuild for Gentoo for this. |
15:47 | <sfr> | ByteNik: what type of TV do you use it with? |
15:47 | <ByteNik> | InFocus X1 DLP projector |
15:47 | <ByteNik> | 72" picture. :P |
15:47 | <kvandivo> | 9 |
15:47 | <kvandivo> | $999, i meant |
15:47 | <ByteNik> | It only does 800x600, but the next one up was $2700 or so |
15:47 | <ByteNik> | Yah |
15:48 | <ByteNik> | Also, the X1 is currently the only to do 2000:1 contrast and have a bulb life of 3000hr |
15:48 | <sfr> | how much does a replacement lamp cost you? they are pretty expensive here (germany) |
15:49 | <ByteNik> | $200 or so, I think, but realistically, I only watch a max of 2 hours a day on the projector, plus the occasional movie or two, so 3000 hours / (2 hours * 365 days) == about 4.11 years |
15:49 | <ByteNik> | In 4 years I may end up selling the projector and upgrading, or it'll be older technology with a cheaper bulb |
15:50 | <ByteNik> | And if the bulb dies within 3 years I'm covered by warantee |
15:50 | <kvandivo> | what about the dlp pitfalls that you hear about? color, color flicker, etc how does the X1 do with that? |
15:50 | <ByteNik> | I hope it dies with 2 days to go on the warantee, and then I'll have 7 free years. :P |
15:50 | <sfr> | DLP ? |
15:50 | <kvandivo> | the type of projecter that the X1 is |
15:51 | <ByteNik> | Well, color is awesome at 2000:1 contrast... much better than any LCD. Flicker isn't noticable IMO |
15:51 | <sfr> | ah, the model, not a specific technology? |
15:51 | <ByteNik> | Nnono |
15:51 | <Chutt> | dlp is a technology |
15:51 | <ByteNik> | DLP is Digital Light Processing |
15:51 | <Chutt> | spinning wheel, mirrors |
15:52 | <Chutt> | or something like that :p |
15:52 | <ByteNik> | Its a chip made by (Ti?) that has micromirrors mounted on the top |
15:52 | <ByteNik> | They can be moved digitally to increase or decrease output light. |
15:52 | <ByteNik> | A color wheel spins at framerate * 3 to show the three colors for each frame |
15:52 | <sfr> | ah, i read about that some time ago. |
15:53 | <ByteNik> | Some people have super good vision and can see a raimbow effect |
15:53 | <ByteNik> | No one so far has seen it on mine. |
15:53 | <ByteNik> | The down side is you need to get honeycomb blinds that completely block light when closed. |
15:53 | <Chutt> | i can see rainbows on the older dlps, but with the double speed ones i don't |
15:54 | <ByteNik> | A glass bead screen helps with visibility during bright times of the day but its still hard to see. |
15:54 | <Chutt> | if my basement didn't suck, i'd have a projector =) |
15:54 | <ByteNik> | Chutt: My room is less than ideal for this, but I managed to do it sucessfully (or at least we'll see once my screen comes) |
15:55 | <Chutt> | there's just no place good to put a screen and speakers |
15:55 | <ByteNik> | The only downside to my theatre is a high ceiling... the screen has to be really large or have really long suspensions |
15:55 | <ByteNik> | Pull down? |
15:55 | <ByteNik> | That's what I did. |
15:55 | <Chutt> | 7 foot ceilings, too |
15:56 | <Chutt> | i just need a new house is all =) |
15:56 | <ByteNik> | I have 8 foot... I got a very large screen (7x7). You could also put a long chain or suspension. *shrugs* |

16:57 | <farce> | why would that be illegal? |
16:58 | <o_cee> | you haven't read about the trial against the norwegian guy who broke the encryption? |
17:00 | <farce> | he's not on trial for breaking the encryption afaik |
17:01 | <farce> | perhaps distributing that info and such |
17:01 | <farce> | but you wont have that problem. |
17:01 | <o_cee> | but it's still illegal. |
17:01 | <D-side> | no, its not. |

17:04 | <kvandivo> | although they _are_ pretty tough |
17:05 | <o_cee> | just think it's strange to allow DeCSS in Myth when other decryption algos is so out of the question to implement |
17:05 | <farce> | see the issue i have with all the DeCSS bullshit is... |
17:05 | <farce> | you could still copy dvds before. |
17:05 | <farce> | and they play just fine in dvd players |
17:05 | <o_cee> | sure, but that took forever. |
17:05 | <o_cee> | and that's also illegal i guess. |
17:05 | <farce> | so it doesnt stop piracy like they claim |
17:05 | <o_cee> | of course not |
17:06 | <o_cee> | but you're missing my point |
17:06 | <farce> | it's purpose is to restrict users from doing what they want with their own things |
17:06 | <farce> | like skip bs FBI warnings/commercials etc |
17:06 | <o_cee> | yeah, i know |
17:06 | <farce> | region restrictions... |
17:06 | <o_cee> | that's more something that has to do with the dvd player |
17:06 | <warlord> | farce: except general-purpose DVD blanks have the CSS keys zero-ized, so you can't copy the on-disk keys in your copy. |
17:06 | <o_cee> | and that has nothing to do with DeCSS |
17:06 | | * kvandivo leans back and grins to himself. |
17:07 | <o_cee> | what bothers me is why DeCSS is allowed in Myth when CSA isn't. strange philosophy. |
17:08 | <warlord> | CSA? |
17:08 | <o_cee> | DVB related. |
17:08 | <warlord> | ahh |
17:11 | <D-side> | okay so, honestly. anyone think i can fit a working mythfrontend in 340mb? |
17:12 | <kvandivo> | did you realize you were asking a question before |
17:12 | | * kvandivo mutters to himself at his typos. |
17:12 | <kvandivo> | didn't realize you were asking a question before.. |
17:13 | <kvandivo> | you aren't really giving us enough info, D.. are you meaning the entire OS and everything on the microdrive, or just myth itself? |
17:13 | <D-side> | EVERYTHING. |
17:13 | <kvandivo> | how big is the knoppmyth stuff? i'd start from there, if i were you |
17:13 | <D-side> | true enough... |
17:13 | <D-side> | lets go see. afk |
17:15 | <D-side> | hm. 500mb. |

17:15 | <D-side> | i think X and Qt would be the big problems in keeping down the size.. |
17:16 | <kvandivo> | then, figure out how much extra stuff he puts on there to make it compatible with a large number of machines. obviously you don't need as much compatibility since you are building it for a single machine |
17:16 | <kvandivo> | he has stuff on there that you wouldn't need for just a frontend (mysql comes to mind.. i'm guessing he has that on there) |
17:17 | <D-side> | im half considering just making a chroot and dumping over only the required stuff. then write that to the drve. |
17:17 | <D-side> | then again, maybe i'll just shut the hell up and use knoppmyth itself anyway. |
17:17 | <D-side> | life is full of unknowns. |
17:18 | <ByteNik> | Okay, now that I got HDTV working, I have the problem that I have major lag when I decode... |
17:18 | <ByteNik> | This is on a 2.4 ghz machine tho...!? |
17:18 | <D-side> | so is it cpu usage thats causing the lag? |
17:18 | <ByteNik> | Nothing else is running... :-/ |
17:19 | <D-side> | yeah but have you verified its killing the cpu? |
17:19 | <kvandivo> | you know.. a better place to look might be the xbox live cd that someone around here made. its frontend only and would probably be closer to an example of what you would need |
17:19 | <ByteNik> | Hmm... actually, does XINE have an equivelent to -framedrop from mplayer? |
17:21 | <D-side> | i wasnt aware the xbox cd was live. figured that was an installer. |
17:21 | <kvandivo> | i think the latest rev is runnable |
17:22 | <ByteNik> | Hrmmm |
17:22 | <ByteNik> | Why does it read "SSE support available but disabled."... same for MMX and SSE2 |
17:22 | <ByteNik> | How do I enable it? |
17:23 | <kvandivo> | i believe it has to be compiled in |
17:25 | <ByteNik> | Hrmmm |
17:26 | <ByteNik> | No idea what to do now... :-/ |
17:28 | <ByteNik> | Actually its only using 12% CPU |
17:28 | <ByteNik> | I have no idea what the heck is killing it. |
17:29 | <ByteNik> | What else would be a problem. |
17:29 | <ByteNik> | I'm definitely running with XvMC |
17:31 | <ByteNik> | Hmm... actually anyone have any ideas because its not pcHDTV specifically... I can record to a file... its just certain channels which are using the highest HDTV resolutions, the comp has problems with... |
17:33 | <o_cee> | get rid of xvmc |
17:33 | <o_cee> | g'night all |
17:33 | <ByteNik> | Really? O.o |
17:36 | <ByteNik> | Wow, that helps... |
17:36 | <ByteNik> | Its not perfect... and deinterlacing now kills it |
17:36 | <ByteNik> | But what is wrong with XvMC? |

19:18 | <warlord> | isn't "nothing popping out" part of his problem? ;) |
19:21 | <thor_> | checking a few things |
19:23 | <thor_> | this is non PVR-350 output (don't have a PVR-350) ... in case that makes a difference on anyone else's system(s) |
19:25 | | * CyberKnet didn't realise that a dual PIII 733 would not be able to handle live tv =( |
19:27 | <CyberKnet> | it seems like backend and frontend are both using 99% cpu |
19:27 | <CyberKnet> | is that encode/decode threads? |
19:28 | <Octane> | anyone know why my tv's display is jittery (geforce 4 mx 440) svideo tv out? |
19:28 | <Octane> | can it be caused by the computer too close to the tv? |
19:29 | <Octane> | i tried changing the refresh rate |
19:29 | <Octane> | to 60 |
19:29 | <Octane> | that didnt do it |
19:29 | <Octane> | its jittery from post |

19:33 | <warlord> | well, this sounds like either an X issue, or a tuner issue. |
19:37 | <Octane> | again, it happens in post too |
19:37 | <Octane> | its really bad in post |
19:38 | <Octane> | well i managed to capture something :) |
19:38 | <Octane> | 5 seconds are 8 megs :D |
19:38 | <Octane> | it looks really bad |
19:38 | <Octane> | guess i gotta troubleshoot away |
19:38 | <Octane> | of course, no sound |
19:42 | <Octane> | its like |
19:42 | <Octane> | really really blury, unfocused, jittery, jumpy |
19:42 | <Octane> | and the sample mpeg i captured is really nasty looking |
19:42 | <warlord> | Well, try one thing at a time. start with a video that you know works. Get the output working. Then work on input. |
19:43 | <Octane> | right |
19:43 | <Octane> | what can i do to work on the output? |
19:43 | <warlord> | mplayer? |
19:43 | <Octane> | in post |
19:43 | <Octane> | its really bad |
19:43 | <Octane> | i dont raelly care about how it looks in post i guess |
19:43 | <CyberKnet> | doesn't the documentation say that Isaac's 733mhz machine *almost* does livetv? |
19:43 | <warlord> | what do you mean "in post"? |
19:44 | <Octane> | POST - when the computer boots up |
19:44 | <Octane> | but when i had this box hooked up through svideo to the same tv, the image on the tv was fine, even before loading the o/s |
19:44 | <warlord> | Huh? Not a phrase I've ever heard before.. |
19:44 | <Octane> | you never heard of the acronym post? |
19:44 | <CyberKnet> | warlord: when the computer checks the memory, shows the video card bios and all that stuff |
19:44 | <warlord> | How can it display an image if it's not running? |
19:44 | <CyberKnet> | right as you turn on the computer |
19:45 | <warlord> | I've never heard that called POST before. |
19:45 | <Octane> | because its mirroring the image on the monitor |
19:45 | <CyberKnet> | warlord: learn something new every day =) |
19:45 | <Octane> | yah its pretty commonly used |
19:45 | <CyberKnet> | power on self test |
19:46 | <Octane> | well anyway, when you guys boot up your machines |
19:46 | <Octane> | and the output through svideo to the tv... is it clear? |
19:46 | <warlord> | so basically the BIOS output is fine, but once control shifts to Linux the TV looks bad? |
19:46 | <Octane> | no, even bios output is messed up |
19:46 | <Octane> | linux is a LITTLE clearer but still very ugly |
19:46 | <CyberKnet> | Octane: I think they call what I run a "Scan converter" |
19:46 | <CyberKnet> | I have an Avermedia Averkey 3 |
19:46 | <Octane> | whats that CyberKnet? |
19:47 | <CyberKnet> | it converts VGA to RCA |
19:47 | <Octane> | oh, you dont use svideo? |
19:47 | <warlord> | Octane: the console text looks blurry, but it's stable. |
19:47 | <CyberKnet> | don't have that option on my tv unfortunately |
19:47 | | * warlord uses composite out, not svideo out. |
19:47 | <Octane> | any arguments for using svideo over rca? |
19:48 | <CyberKnet> | I use the one where you have a video cable, left cable and right cable. The three RCA plug thingies. |
19:48 | <Octane> | right right |
19:48 | <CyberKnet> | I don't have one of them fancy tvs =P" |
19:48 | <Octane> | jeeez CyberKnet |
19:48 | <Octane> | that avermedia thing is $150! |
19:48 | <CyberKnet> | pffft |
19:48 | <CyberKnet> | it's free! =) |
19:49 | <Octane> | huh? :D |
19:49 | <CyberKnet> | Work wasn't using it. |

19:49 | <warlord> | The -350 is REALLY cool.. |
19:49 | <Octane> | dont need the 350 |
19:50 | <CyberKnet> | which I might have to do if someone can't help me understand why a dual 733Mhz machine can't even do live tv!!! |
19:50 | <Octane> | im having a hard enough time as it is |
19:50 | <warlord> | the video output is really sharp. |
19:50 | <josephk_> | fantabulous |
19:50 | <Octane> | time to mess with the xconfig |
19:50 | <CyberKnet> | I've been thinking pretty hard about the 350 actually. So many people are saying how great the output is. |
19:50 | <warlord> | however the driver is still very alpha. it hung my machine _HARD_ twice within 15 minutes when I was playing with it earlier today. |
19:50 | <CyberKnet> | And the hardware encode/decode would really help with this old box. |
19:51 | <CyberKnet> | I would have swore the docs said Isaac had a PIII 733 that could almost do live tv |
19:51 | <warlord> | So I've neverted back to s/w decode until I come back from the IETF> |

19:52 | <CyberKnet> | hmm... I should check what codec / resolution it's recording at |
19:52 | <hadees> | is the reason it takes the channel so long to change because the card can't do it any faster (hence it is like that in media edition) or is it just because the ivtv drivers arn't as good as the windows drivers yet? |

20:22 | <thor_> | hmm |
20:22 | <CyberKnet> | not that I can find. I looked because debian uses a modutils directory |
20:22 | <CyberKnet> | I think kudzu did it |

21:18 | <thor_> | works on Oct 31, rebuilding current |
21:18 | <thor_> | something weird though ... |
21:18 | <thor_> | I made the box on the study it's own master, and the OSD came back |
21:18 | <thor_> | s/on/in |
21:46 | <Octane> | i wish i wish that i would be smart |
21:46 | <Octane> | i would have mythtv working without a heart |
21:46 | <Octane> | attack |
21:50 | <thor_> | OK, clean checkout and build, no OSD |
21:50 | <thor_> | time to start to cout'ing videooutbase.cpp |
21:51 | <warlord> | thor_: can you use date-stamps to figure out when exactly it stopped working? |
21:51 | <thor_> | well, there's not that much between the 31st and now |
21:51 | <thor_> | let me see if it's at least "trying to draw" |
21:51 | <warlord> | Ok |
21:53 | <thor_> | doing this on the dev box, single bt848 card |
21:54 | <hadees> | Are there functions in mythtv for making custom OSDs in the tv? if i wanted to add a stock ticker or somthing |
21:54 | <thor_> | hadees, you probably want to look at the caller ID stuff |
21:56 | <thor_> | well, it gets to DisplayOSD, and the *osd pointer to type OSD is not null |
21:58 | <thor_> | "OSD locking patches from Kenneth Aafloy" sounds like a likely thing to look at (?) |
21:59 | <Chutt> | that shouldn't be it |
21:59 | <thor_> | ok |
22:00 | <thor_> | this "Unknown video codec:" line worries me |
22:00 | <Chutt> | can you try a checkout from the 2nd? |
22:00 | <thor_> | yup |
22:00 | <thor_> | exact time ? |
22:00 | <thor_> | of just 2nd |
22:00 | <thor_> | or |
22:01 | <Chutt> | yeah |
22:01 | <Chutt> | some stuff went in on the first, some stuff went in on the 5th |
22:01 | <thor_> | k |
22:01 | <thor_> | so just -D 11/02/03 ... building now |
22:02 | <thor_> | (with no distclean) |
22:02 | <Chutt> | i'd do a distclean :p |
22:02 | <Chutt> | just in case |
22:02 | <thor_> | well, let me see without first |

22:21 | -!- | D-side [pfft@bgp526783bgs.ebrnsw01.nj.comcast.net] has quit [Remote closed the connection] |
22:23 | <thor_> | (building current, I'll be back in 10 mins) |
22:38 | <thor_> | OSD works when Deinterlacing is *not* selected with current |
22:40 | <thor_> | same on (now) standalone system in study (Deinterlacing On == no OSD) |
22:41 | <thor_> | which is a PVR-250 |
22:42 | -!- | mdz [~mdz@dialup-67.73.7.147.Dial1.LosAngeles1.Level3.net] has quit [Read error: 110 (Connection timed out)] |
22:58 | <Chutt> | allright |
22:59 | <Chutt> | so, it's definitely the filters =) |
22:59 | <Chutt> | in NuppelVideoPlayer.cpp, InitFilters() |
22:59 | <josephk_> | I suppose thats a new kind of filter...no OSD sounds like a cool trick...hehe |
22:59 | -!- | Edgan [edgan@proton.cygnusx-1.org] has quit ["Client exiting"] |
23:00 | <Chutt> | at the very end of the function, can you print out video_width, video_height, postfilt_width, and postfilt_height |
23:00 | <Chutt> | no idea what it could be yet, though |
23:01 | <thor_> | yup .. hang on |
23:08 | <thor_> | without deinterlacing, all are 480 |

23:08 | <thor_> | ditto with deinteralcing |
23:09 | <warlord> | Hmm, Chutt, have you ever noticed that if you start recording a program, then start watching it, at some point you stop being able to FF? It's particularly true when you're watching across the endtime. |

23:15 | <jedir0x0r> | hi guys |
23:15 | <jedir0x0r> | So like, I'm having problems wih mythgame |
23:15 | <jedir0x0r> | no games show up, and i do have some snes games |
23:16 | <jedir0x0r> | anyone here? |
23:28 | <Octane> | youre having problems with mythgame? |
23:28 | <Octane> | im having problems with linux! |
23:33 | <Chutt> | then quit bitching about it and install windows |
23:34 | <Chutt> | thor, could you comment out the filter stuff in videoout_xv.cpp, processframe? |
23:37 | <FryGuy> | chutt: can I send you a patch and you tell me if I did it right? |
23:38 | <FryGuy> | i found a problem, but I don't know what the ramifications of fixing it the way i did are |
23:38 | <thor_> | yuo |
23:38 | <thor_> | p |
23:38 | <FryGuy> | i don't know if I need to terminate the current thread (or process.. i'm not familiar with multi-threading) also |
23:39 | <Chutt> | sure |
23:39 | <thor_> | just the if and then |
23:40 | <FryGuy> | http://burntpopcorn.net/deleteme/mythtv_video0inusefix.diff |
23:41 | <FryGuy> | the problem is in the nuppelvideo::startrecording, where it will return if the video is not found, but not set recording=true, so it gets stuck in the infinite loop in tv_rec.cpp |
23:42 | -!- | nulltank [~irc@c-66-41-110-140.mn.client2.attbi.com] has joined #mythtv |
23:42 | <Chutt> | thor, yeah |
23:43 | <thor_> | yup, that "fixed" it |
23:43 | <thor_> | with or without deinterlacing, OSD works |
23:43 | <Chutt> | fryguy, that's not how to fix it properly |
23:43 | <FryGuy> | i figured. |
23:43 | <jedir0x0r> | hi guys |
23:43 | <jedir0x0r> | :D |
23:44 | <jedir0x0r> | I installed MythTV on a gentoo system... it rocks. |
23:44 | <jedir0x0r> | I'm having a prolem with mythgame however... it's not showing my roms. |
23:44 | <FryGuy> | should I let you figure out a proper way to fix it, or should I wait for you to suggest a better way? |
23:44 | <Chutt> | jedir0x0r, you just asked that. |
23:45 | <Chutt> | fryguy, just add an error condition it can test for |
23:45 | <jedir0x0r> | Chutt: yeah, sorry. |
23:45 | <FryGuy> | change the prototype on startrecording? |
23:45 | <Chutt> | no, you'd have to set a variable |
23:45 | <Chutt> | or whatnot |
23:45 | <FryGuy> | i thought about that too. |
23:46 | <FryGuy> | other than the hack to time out, is the way of aborting the rest of the stuff correct? |
23:46 | <FryGuy> | like, do I need to exit the process or something? |
23:47 | <jedir0x0r> | So nobody knows anything about mythgame? |
23:47 | <FryGuy> | somebody does |
23:47 | <FryGuy> | the guy that wrote it would I assume |
23:47 | <Chutt> | fryguy, well, no |
23:48 | <Chutt> | i'd say it'd just be better to turn those returns in startrecording into exits |
23:49 | <FryGuy> | i'm terrible at multi-threaded programming :( |

23:49 | <FryGuy> | i thought that would kill the main mythbackend process or I would've done it |
23:49 | <thor_> | Chutt, you want me to see what *frame looks like after the Filter's have returned ? |
23:49 | <Chutt> | yeah |
23:49 | <Chutt> | before and after |
23:50 | <Chutt> | fryguy, yup, it would |
23:50 | <Chutt> | but those are all fatal errors. |
23:50 | <Chutt> | so... |
23:50 | <FryGuy> | not really |
23:50 | <FryGuy> | i've got two tuners |
23:50 | <FryGuy> | so one can fail and the other will still record |
23:51 | <Chutt> | then you'd have to make it recover from those errors |
23:51 | <FryGuy> | and it's weird because it isn't really in use. I think another mythbackend process is using it at the instant it tries to open it, then it gets stuck |
23:51 | <Chutt> | and just continuing in tv_rec without doing anything isn't recovering :p |
23:51 | <Chutt> | another mythbackend process can't use it |
23:51 | <jedir0x0r> | thanks for the link |
23:52 | <FryGuy> | are you sure? |
23:52 | <Chutt> | yup |
23:52 | <FryGuy> | hmm |
23:53 | <FryGuy> | what would be the way to tell tv_rec to abort the current recording? |
23:54 | <Chutt> | i don't know right off |
23:54 | <Chutt> | if you're going to do something about it, try to figure it out |
23:54 | <Chutt> | i'm not going to write it for you |
23:54 | <FryGuy> | ok |
23:57 | <Chutt> | thor, any luck? |
23:58 | <Chutt> | i'm just going to revert the filter api patch |
23:58 | <Chutt> | unless you see something obvious |
23:58 | <thor_> | yup |
23:58 | <thor_> | heh |
23:58 | <thor_> | Above filterList->ProcessFrame(): |
23:58 | <thor_> | height = 480 |
23:58 | <thor_> | width = 480 |
23:58 | <thor_> | bpp = 12 |
23:58 | <thor_> | size = 345600 |
23:58 | <thor_> | Below filterList->ProcessFrame(): |
23:58 | <thor_> | height = 0 |
23:58 | <thor_> | width = 0 |
23:58 | <thor_> | bpp = 0 |
23:58 | <thor_> | size = 0 |
23:59 | <Chutt> | there's tons of bugs in it in NVP.cpp |
