| 00:07 | <davatar> | actually, whenever lirc_serial gets loaded after serial, but before the ups service connects to /dev/ttyS1, lirc_serial takes over, regardless of it's module options.. hrrmmph.. |

| 00:07 | <robbie__> | hey i just unsubscribed from mythtv-users (too much noise) |
| 00:07 | <robbie__> | however i have a feature request |
| 00:08 | <robbie__> | when in delete recordings you can only selete on eshow at a time |
| 00:08 | <robbie__> | however if you choose a show name on the left and hit delete have the option to delete all recordings of that show |

| 00:08 | | * robbie__ has way too many simpsons episodes |
| 00:09 | <dopez> | heh |
| 00:09 | <robbie__> | hi dopez |
| 00:09 | <dopez> | i wish i had too many simpsons eps.. |
| 00:09 | <dopez> | hi robbie__ |
| 00:09 | <robbie__> | its on atleast 10 times a week here in oz |
| 00:10 | <robbie__> | i found out why ivtv was getting unstable for me, was running not recent enough cvs of myth and there simply wasnt a driver that worked well |
| 00:10 | <dopez> | i think they are repeating it here in holland too, about 5 times a week |
| 00:10 | <robbie__> | updated and all was good again :) |
| 00:10 | <dopez> | nice :) |
| 00:11 | <robbie__> | man i just got a box ready for my dad so he could watch mash and they took it off last friday :) |
| 00:11 | <robbie__> | and replaced it with that damn riva |
| 00:11 | <dopez> | i know a way to fix the tinny audio, but i have no idea how to add it in mythtv or the itvt driver :( |
| 00:11 | <robbie__> | is the problem more myth or ivtv related ? |
| 00:11 | <dopez> | ivtv |
| 00:12 | <robbie__> | why dont you post it to the mailing lists |
| 00:12 | <dopez> | i did, but im waiting for tmk to release the new ivtv drivers (he's quite busy rewriting it) |

| 00:13 | <dopez> | and if i knew a little more c/c++ i would just hack it in mythtv or the driver |
| 00:13 | <robbie__> | it was getting depressing, couldnt work out why everything was turning to shit on my myth box |
| 00:13 | <robbie__> | so whats your fix ? |
| 00:13 | <dopez> | change the input |
| 00:13 | -!- | Captain_Murdoch_ [~cpinkham@p129.n-dcpop07.stsn.com] has joined #mythtv |

| 00:14 | <dopez> | it fixes the audio, and seems to also fix the corrupted video some have sometimes |
| 00:14 | <robbie__> | is that a proper fix for whatever the problem is or a bandaid fix ? |
| 00:14 | -!- | robbie__ is now known as robbie |
| 00:15 | <dopez> | im not sure actually |
| 00:16 | <Teflon> | the oc and firefly... worthy uses of the pvr by my wife. (good writing in both, albeit the OC isn't stellar, its entertaining and funny) |
| 00:16 | -!- | Captain_Murdoch_ [~cpinkham@p129.n-dcpop07.stsn.com] has quit [Client Quit] |
| 00:16 | <dopez> | i guess if it fixes the tinny audio and the video corruption it should be a good fix |
| 00:16 | <robbie> | true |
| 00:16 | <robbie> | i havent encountered video corruption |
| 00:17 | <dopez> | i have, but not as much as the tinny audio |
| 00:17 | <robbie> | however before zero length files and tinny audio i had occasional non audio |
| 00:17 | <Teflon> | i still occasionally get no audio |
| 00:17 | <Teflon> | vertical banding seems to be fixed though |
| 00:17 | <dopez> | i resolved the no audio with adding a standard= to the msp3400 module |
| 00:17 | <robbie> | i should try that again |
| 00:18 | <robbie> | msp3400 once=1 simple=1 standard=3 |
| 00:18 | <robbie> | should i do it like that ? |
| 00:18 | <robbie> | ive been loading it with no opotions |
| 00:18 | <dopez> | i've heard the standard option doesnt work for ntsc tho |
| 00:18 | | * robbie is pal country |
| 00:18 | <dopez> | ok |
| 00:19 | <dopez> | you might want to lose the once=1 as it might give you mono once in a while |
| 00:20 | <dopez> | (it only detects stereo or mono on channel changes with that) |
| 00:22 | <robbie> | cool, atleast my logs arent filling up with dma errors now, previous if i used those options /var filled up rather quick |
| 00:22 | <dopez> | maybe using a wrong debug option? |
| 00:23 | <robbie> | even with debug = 0 |
| 00:23 | <dopez> | odd |
| 00:23 | <robbie> | and i got many lost frames |
| 00:23 | | * dopez notices this isnt #ivtv-dev ;) |
| 00:23 | <robbie> | that was with my old cvs myth and recent ivtv |
| 00:23 | <robbie> | heh, yeah |
| 00:24 | <robbie> | well we are using myth |
| 00:24 | <dopez> | indeed |
| 00:25 | <robbie> | i had to quit the myth list, too much noise, top posting and people not starting fresh threads |
| 00:25 | <robbie> | it was too hard to follow |
| 00:25 | | * robbie is certain they wont miss him |
| 00:25 | <dopez> | i'm only subscribed to the ivtv-dev and mytht-dev list, but hardly reading the myth list |
| 00:26 | <robbie> | i like getting mail from myth-commits :) |
| 00:26 | <dopez> | i dont have too much to do tho, so its not too hard to follow the lists |
| 00:26 | <dopez> | i should subscrive to the myth-commit list indeed ;) |
| 00:27 | <robbie> | good to know when something interesting has happened |
| 00:27 | -!- | DogBoy [~john@cs2428116-149.houston.rr.com] has quit ["Leaving"] |
| 00:28 | <dopez> | yeah, especially since i've move the backend to a p3-500, it takes a while to compile mythtv on it |
| 00:28 | <dopez> | (on a p4 2.8 it was only 10 minutes orso) |
| 00:28 | <robbie> | ya, myth does take a long tim eto build |
| 00:31 | -!- | warlord is now known as warlord-afk |
| 00:33 | <dopez> | hm, good time to go afk indeed |
| 00:33 | <ChaosExiguum> | hrm... just updated my mythcvs, and now frontend freezes on playback recorded screen |
| 00:33 | <ChaosExiguum> | before it populates with data |
| 00:34 | <ChaosExiguum> | and watch live take me to a dead black screen |
| 00:34 | <robbie> | what is afk ? |
| 00:34 | <ChaosExiguum> | mythweb works fine |
| 00:34 | <ChaosExiguum> | robbie, away-from-keyboard |
| 00:34 | <robbie> | aha |
| 00:34 | <ChaosExiguum> | or komputer if you prefer :o) |
| 00:34 | <dopez> | hee |
| 00:35 | <dopez> | +h |
| 00:35 | <rcam> | HI |
| 00:35 | <dopez> | hello |
| 00:35 | <rcam> | I am so excited about installing MythTV. |
| 00:35 | <rcam> | I am downloading KnnopMyth now. |
| 00:35 | <rcam> | Taking a long time. |
| 00:37 | <rcam> | You guys like KnnopMyth? |
| 00:37 | <dopez> | i've never used knopmyth |
| 00:37 | <rcam> | o:( |
| 00:37 | <dopez> | sounds like a good idea tho |
| 00:37 | <rcam> | It seems to be a great solution. |
| 00:37 | <dopez> | (ie, no hd's spinning in the frontend) |
| 00:37 | <rcam> | ALl in one... so we know it works. |
| 00:37 | <rcam> | Plus out of the box I dont have to do much :) |
| 00:38 | <dopez> | indeed :) |
| 00:38 | <rcam> | The one thing that kills me is all my systems are high end. |
| 00:38 | <davatar> | bootable usb key frontend would be even nicer :) |
| 00:38 | <rcam> | The one I am going to put Myth on is a AMD64 3400+ |
| 00:38 | <robbie> | crikey |
| 00:38 | <rcam> | AMD just sent a bunch of them. |
| 00:38 | <dopez> | damn, thats quite a nice box ;) |
| 00:39 | <rcam> | Yeah. |
| 00:39 | <rcam> | And I have found no use for it yet :) |
| 00:39 | <rcam> | AMD64 WIndows sucks right now. |
| 00:39 | <dopez> | my fastest box is a p4 2.8, slowest is a p133 ;) |
| 00:39 | <dopez> | i dont use windows, no idea there |
| 00:39 | <rcam> | Its funny... in 32bit mode the AMD64 out performs my Intel 3.4 ghz P4 Extreame |
| 00:39 | <davatar> | mmm. 720x480+denoise3d capture :).. of course if you can afford that for a myth box, get digital/hdtv... |
| 00:40 | <dopez> | i've no doubt there, amd's are ussually faster then intels, its just that most amd chipsets suck :( (VIA/SIS/etc) |
| 00:40 | <rcam> | nForce 3 :) |
| 00:41 | <rcam> | I am thinking of a nice custom case. |
| 00:41 | <dopez> | i just hope nvidia have better memory compatiblity now :) |
| 00:41 | <dopez> | (nforce2 was pretty bad) |
| 00:41 | <rcam> | I use a Geforce FX 5950 Ultra 256 Meg for video |
| 00:41 | <rcam> | nForce 3 is nice... I have the AMD boards as well. |
| 00:42 | <rcam> | I needed to find a use for some of the extra AMD boxes. |
| 00:42 | <dopez> | still usiing a gf4ti here, and it dont hope to replace it for a few years :) |
| 00:42 | <rcam> | He. |
| 00:42 | <rcam> | I get whatever is the latest and greatest. Usually before it comes to market. |
| 00:42 | <dopez> | hm, where do i get such a job ? :) |
| 00:43 | <rcam> | I am the President and CEO of RCAM Games at Universal STudios in Orlando, FL. |
| 00:43 | <dopez> | i guess that helps ;) |
| 00:43 | <rcam> | It makes me wonder what to do with all the old crap. Like the 3Ghz Intel machines with messly Geforce FX 5900s. |
| 00:44 | <dopez> | sell it? |
| 00:44 | <rcam> | measly* ? |
| 00:44 | <rcam> | I can't. |
| 00:44 | <dopez> | give it away :) |
| 00:44 | <rcam> | I would violate our agreements. |
| 00:44 | <rcam> | I genrally give or trade things away. |
| 00:44 | <rcam> | A lot of it goes to our quality assurance guys. |
| 00:44 | -!- | DogBoy [~john@cs2428116-149.houston.rr.com] has joined #mythtv |
| 00:44 | <rcam> | And sometimes I send stuff to people... Like r00t. |
| 00:45 | <dopez> | maybe it would make a nice cluster for dvd-ripping or such |
| 00:45 | <rcam> | We have a Beuwolf cluster offsite. |
| 00:45 | <dopez> | hehe |
| 00:45 | <rcam> | I used to run one in my garage. |
| 00:45 | <rcam> | It got old... |
| 00:45 | <rcam> | I had little use for it. |
| 00:45 | <DogBoy> | I got one in my car |
| 00:45 | <rcam> | A cluster? |
| 00:46 | <DogBoy> | just kidding |
| 00:46 | <rcam> | O... |
| 00:46 | <dopez> | i could run one too, but it would only be p90-233 and k6-350-550, it would match up with one p4 2.8 |
| 00:46 | <dopez> | wouldnt even.. |
| 00:46 | <rcam> | I was thinking of putting a AMD64 in the escalade but the LCDs kinda small... 6.4 inchs on the seats. |
| 00:47 | <rcam> | Have you ever used MythTV to rip DvDs? |
| 00:47 | <dopez> | only dvd:rip |
| 00:47 | <dopez> | or mencoder |
| 00:47 | <rcam> | Why not Myth>? |
| 00:47 | <dopez> | i dont own dvd's :) |
| 00:47 | <rcam> | I see. |
| 00:48 | <rcam> | Well I wish to use it to do so... I have a rather large DvD collection. |
| 00:48 | <rcam> | I wish there was room in a Dodge Viper for an AMD64. I would tarde 100 Horsepower! |
| 00:48 | <dopez> | i do capture allot of tv-shows/movies with a pvr250 and convert it to divx/mpeg4 |
| 00:49 | <dopez> | hmm |
| 00:49 | <rcam> | Thats cool. |
| 00:49 | -!- | billytwowilly [~chris@h24-66-18-138.ed.shawcable.net] has joined #mythtv |
| 00:49 | <rcam> | I was thinking of putting together a nice skin for Myth. |
| 00:50 | <rcam> | Any ideas? I was thinking of an Aqua skin... Appleish. |
| 00:50 | <dopez> | might be nice |
| 00:50 | <rcam> | I wish I had a better idea. |
| 00:50 | <rcam> | Does the weather really affect the backround on some themes? |
| 00:50 | <billytwowilly> | rcam: Go nuts. That'd be cool. |
| 00:50 | <dopez> | im not really any good with graphics tho, or coding, or anything on that mather :) |
| 00:50 | <ChaosExiguum> | be wary of too much whiteness on tv screens looking bad |
| 00:51 | <rcam> | I am good with the graphics, never dabbled in the coding. |
| 00:51 | <billytwowilly> | you can search in the mythtv mailing list archive for ideas on skin usability issues to think about. |
| 00:51 | <davatar> | the blue skin needs work.. Everything else just seems.. gaudy.... I'm just a function of function over form. |
| 00:51 | <rcam> | I like blue. |
| 00:51 | <rcam> | :) |
| 00:51 | <dopez> | i kinda like the default theme |
| 00:51 | <davatar> | mm that made sense :) |
| 00:51 | <rcam> | Freevo looks nice. |
| 00:52 | <rcam> | No funcionality... I wish the projects would merge. |
| 00:52 | -!- | beau [~beau@adsl-66-127-113-94.dsl.scrm01.pacbell.net] has joined #mythtv |
| 00:52 | <billytwowilly> | rcam: They are almost completely different.. |
| 00:52 | <rcam> | More effort would allow for a single better solution. |
| 00:52 | <billytwowilly> | freevo is written mostly in python I think. |
| 00:52 | <rcam> | billytwowilly I know it would be a difficult thing to do... but it would make things very nice. |
| 00:52 | <rcam> | Imagine double of the development power. |
| 00:53 | <billytwowilly> | rcam: Probably not. It'd be better just to scrap one and get the developers to work on the other. |
| 00:53 | <billytwowilly> | The nice thing about a free market of ideas is that that actually happens to some degree. |
| 00:53 | <rcam> | I would like to see an offical MythTV distro. |
| 00:53 | <ChaosExiguum> | i dunno, sometimes myth seems like its growing too fast as it is |
| 00:53 | <billytwowilly> | knoppmyth |
| 00:53 | <rcam> | Yeah. |
| 00:53 | <rcam> | I know. |
| 00:53 | <rcam> | But its not offical. |
| 00:53 | <rcam> | Cesman should work with the Myth team. |
| 00:54 | <rcam> | Any direct links to skin ideas? |
| 00:54 | <rcam> | Does the weather really affect the backround in some themes? |
| 00:54 | <billytwowilly> | I think the nice thing about the GPL is that you don't need anyone to make it official. cesman idles on here and I think most/all of the developers know about it. |
| 00:54 | <ChaosExiguum> | I have never heard of the weather affecting the theme background |
| 00:55 | <billytwowilly> | I have no idea. I don't code or do the graphics. I just leech;) |
| 00:55 | <rcam> | Does the weather move in this one http://mythtv.org/modules.php?op=modload&name=My_eGallery&file=index&do=showpic&pid=20&orderby=hitsD |
| 00:55 | <billytwowilly> | rcam: Why don't you install it and check it out? |
| 00:55 | <rcam> | I am downloading the KnopMyth distro now. |
| 00:55 | <rcam> | Taking a while. |
| 00:55 | <rcam> | Had to use the torrent. |
| 00:55 | <ChaosExiguum> | ahh, no, always the same sky |
| 00:56 | <billytwowilly> | oh. what's the specs on the box you're installing it on? |
| 00:56 | <rcam> | Hmm someone on the fourms said it moved. |
| 00:56 | <rcam> | That would be cool. |
| 00:56 | <billytwowilly> | I don't think I've heard of any of the themes having moving stuff. cool and good are two different things. |
| 00:56 | <billytwowilly> | if the background moved it would distract the user from the menus and make them harder to read. |
| 00:57 | <beau> | let alone the cpu-suck |
| 00:57 | <rcam> | billytwowilly AMD 64 3400 + AND Geforce FX 5950 AND 512MB AND 80GIG AND DVD AND 2X PVR 350 |
| 00:58 | <davatar> | the menus are slow as it is, althought themes may only be a minor contributor to that, no need to help it :) |
| 00:58 | <billytwowilly> | rcam: You're going to install knoppmyth on that and not use it for anything else? |
| 00:58 | <davatar> | what does a gffx 5950 do in a mythtv box? |
| 00:58 | <rcam> | davatar, What are your specs? |
| 00:58 | <rcam> | billytwowilly, Yes. |
| 00:58 | <rcam> | davatar, Its lying around. |
| 00:58 | <ChaosExiguum> | davatar, make noise |
| 00:58 | <ChaosExiguum> | :o) |
| 00:59 | <davatar> | rcam: athlon 1300, 1.5GB ram, ~1TB gffx 5200 |
| 00:59 | <billytwowilly> | rcam: hook me up with part of your trust fund;) |
| 00:59 | <rcam> | I am going to water cool it if I am annoyed by the sound. |
| 00:59 | <knight-> | why do you have 1.5gb of ram? |
| 00:59 | <knight-> | seems like a waste |
| 00:59 | <knight-> | unless you've got a ram disk |
| 00:59 | <davatar> | ./quake announcer overkill! |
| 00:59 | <beau> | indeed. ;-) |
| 00:59 | <rcam> | billytwowilly I wont bother explaining... I have to much hardware anyway. |
| 01:00 | <billytwowilly> | rcam: I'm kind of curious;) |
| 01:00 | <davatar> | it's a hand-me-down from my old box.. I bought three 512mb dimms for $22 a piece back in that summer when ram priced hit rock bottom. |
| 01:00 | <davatar> | it's also a file server... cache=good.. otherwise I pretty much cache all necessary system files. |
| 01:00 | <rcam> | An old machine to me is a 3Ghz Intel machines with a messly Geforce FX 5900s. |
| 01:01 | <knight-> | what are uyou using to cache? |
| 01:01 | <billytwowilly> | rcam: Do you own a hardware store or something?\ |
| 01:01 | <dopez> | to me an old machine is anything that doesnt run linux ;) |
| 01:01 | <rcam> | I am the CEO of RCAM Games at UNiversal Studios in Orlando, FL. |
| 01:02 | <davatar> | knight-: well, in general..... system disk, and the raid5.. |
| 01:02 | <knight-> | davatar but how are you enabling caching? |
| 01:02 | <knight-> | rcam, what is rcam games? |
| 01:03 | <davatar> | knight-, afaik you _can't disable_ cache under linux.. type "free" |
| 01:03 | <knight-> | indeed |
| 01:03 | <billytwowilly> | rcam: Ooh, you would be a good guy to talk to about getting me a summer job at a financial institution;) |
| 01:03 | <knight-> | i thought you were doing some kind of additional caching |
| 01:03 | <billytwowilly> | I'm a second year econ student at the University of Alberta. |
| 01:05 | <rcam> | Maybe so. |
| 01:06 | <davatar> | aren't they shipping pretty much all of that overseas, except for bank tellers? :p |
| 01:06 | <rcam> | knight- Sorry missed your question... We are a commercial game dev company. |
| 01:06 | <knight-> | rcam, any titles in particular I might recognize? |
| 01:06 | <billytwowilly> | Although I'm up in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada and you probably don't like to do favors for people you meet in chat rooms;) |
| 01:06 | <rcam> | davatar Yeah actully. |
| 01:07 | <rcam> | knight- Nah. |
| 01:07 | <rcam> | Just a few little ones... Like Q3, CS, HL, and so on. |
| 01:07 | <knight-> | uhm, HL was written by Valve. |
| 01:08 | <knight-> | same with CS. |
| 01:08 | <rcam> | Yes it was... We worked as a contractor. |
| 01:08 | <knight-> | Gotcha |
| 01:08 | <knight-> | What did you guys do smpecifically |
| 01:08 | <rcam> | On CS most of the work was outsourced. |
| 01:08 | <rcam> | It varied... Basicly whatever Valve wanted... |
| 01:08 | <rcam> | In the end we did a lot of engine coding and created the first stand alone version of Counter Strike. |
| 01:09 | <knight-> | cool |
| 01:09 | <billytwowilly> | rcam: Thanks for helping me waste a significant portion of highschool;) |
| 01:09 | <rcam> | Yeah. |
| 01:10 | <rcam> | billytwowilly, We try. |
| 01:10 | <rcam> | We are working on the Phantom game console now. |
| 01:10 | <billytwowilly> | phantom game console? |
| 01:10 | <dopez> | hehe |
| 01:10 | <rcam> | www.phantom.net |
| 01:10 | <rcam> | Its sweet contrary to some of the early press. |
| 01:11 | <knight-> | rcam, arent you worried about competition with other consoles? |
| 01:11 | <rcam> | People are going to go nutts once they play it... It owns Xbox and PS2. |
| 01:11 | <rcam> | knight- Not at all. |
| 01:11 | <knight-> | Really? |
| 01:11 | <rcam> | Yes. |
| 01:11 | <knight-> | What's the initial price? |
| 01:11 | <rcam> | Street price will be $299 |
| 01:12 | <knight-> | not bad |
| 01:12 | <rcam> | There are 5 in the world right now... I have one sitting here. The Gen1 Proytostypes are about 50% bigger then the production unit, but its an awsome distro model. |
| 01:12 | <billytwowilly> | hurray, something to try out mmsclient on. |
| 01:12 | <rcam> | Everything via high speed internet. |
| 01:13 | <rcam> | Using the same protection banks use on thier harddrives. |
| 01:13 | <dopez> | hm, 'high speed' can mean anything :) |
| 01:13 | <knight-> | what kind of protection is that? |
| 01:13 | <rcam> | I mean ISDN or above. |
| 01:14 | -!- | robbie [~rob@ESS-p-144-138-94-106.mega.tmns.net.au] has quit [Read error: 104 (Connection reset by peer)] |
| 01:14 | <billytwowilly> | so you wouldn't go out and buy the games? You would pay a monthly subscription fee or something? or you mean that all the games will be networked? |
| 01:14 | <rcam> | AEM? Wrong initials but close. |
| 01:14 | <rcam> | I mean you dont go out and buy games. |
| 01:15 | <knight-> | rcam, is valve's Steam competition? or have you licensed their software? |
| 01:15 | <rcam> | Competition... But different market... |
| 01:15 | <rcam> | This is a game console. |
| 01:15 | <rcam> | Its for the living room... not computer room. |
| 01:15 | <dopez> | i doubt steam is alive in a few years (from what i've heard of ppl using it) |
| 01:15 | <rcam> | You pay a monthly fee for game demos, short movies, and betas. You pay full price for full games and movies which are downloaded. |
| 01:16 | <knight-> | Steam works great for me |
| 01:16 | <knight-> | sure beats having to manually download patches, etc |
| 01:16 | <rcam> | dopez Steam is plauged by bad code and lack of content. |
| 01:16 | <rcam> | knight- If the auto update does not screw your install its great :) |
| 01:16 | <billytwowilly> | rcam: So you don't get any actual media AND the thing uses up your monthly bandwidth allocation? |
| 01:16 | <knight-> | I get game demos, movies, betas, patches, maps, etc on Xbox Live |
| 01:17 | <rcam> | billytwowilly, Most people don't have limits. |
| 01:17 | <rcam> | knight- Remember you also pay for XBox Live. |
| 01:17 | <dopez> | from what i've heard steam is way too buggy to be taken serious |
| 01:17 | <rcam> | dopez, That is ture. |
| 01:17 | <rcam> | true* |
| 01:17 | <knight-> | and I'll also have to pay for this console wont i? |
| 01:17 | <billytwowilly> | rcam: They do, they just don't know it;) My service plan up here is supposedly unlimited, but if you do more than 30 gigs a month then they phone you. |
| 01:17 | <rcam> | Arg I just got home from the hospitial a few days ago and am still out of it. |
| 01:18 | <davatar> | "apt-get update xmltv" screwed my fedora rpmdb.. just like it did my rh9 rpmdb, before I reinstalled. anyone else experience this? |
| 01:18 | <rcam> | knight- Yes just like everything else. |
| 01:18 | <billytwowilly> | I still don't like the idea of not getting any physical media. If I buy an xbox game I can sell it and make back part of the money I invested in the title. |
| 01:18 | <knight-> | Indeed |
| 01:18 | <rcam> | billytwowilly Whats nice is you get constant seamless updates to your games. |
| 01:18 | <rcam> | Including updated content etc. |
| 01:19 | <rcam> | Of cource we all know execlusive titles are what sell consoles... So Infinium Labs and RCAM Games have that covered. |
| 01:19 | <knight-> | rcam, when does the console go into production? |
| 01:19 | <billytwowilly> | rcam: I also don't like that. It supports the mentality of getting the game to market and fixing it later. |
| 01:19 | <rcam> | It will hit the market in 2004. I cannot say an exact date. |
| 01:20 | <rcam> | billytwowilly We have a quality assurance test it must go though. |
| 01:20 | <rcam> | billytwowilly You will still get console quality games. |
| 01:20 | <rcam> | No random crashs etc like with PC games. |
| 01:20 | <dopez> | hm, that would be something new ;) |
| 01:20 | <rcam> | Yeah. |
| 01:21 | <knight-> | How do we know that'll be followed 1 year after the consoles are out? |
| 01:21 | <knight-> | :) |
| 01:21 | <dopez> | but very welcome tho, even tho i hardly play games anymore |
| 01:21 | <knight-> | investors may say "hey pull back on the testing" |
| 01:21 | <knight-> | all big business cheats to save the bottom line |
| 01:21 | <rcam> | You have faith :) Seriously you must look at the history to prove it to yourself. |
| 01:21 | <billytwowilly> | well, It'll be interesting to see how it goes. I personally don't think it will take off. for the above mentioned reasons. How big is the hard drive? |
| 01:21 | <knight-> | I think it would take off. |
| 01:22 | <rcam> | 80 - 120 - or 300 |
| 01:22 | <knight-> | Steam has been a huge success even though people think it's failed. |
| 01:22 | <rcam> | knight- You would be right. |
| 01:22 | <rcam> | :) |
| 01:22 | <knight-> | Xbox+Steam would be very powerful. |
| 01:22 | <knight-> | And that's exactly what this is. |
| 01:22 | <rcam> | Yes it is. |
| 01:23 | <rcam> | And more powerful hardware. |
| 01:23 | <knight-> | rcam, I sure hope you'll release the ability to locally proxy :) |
| 01:23 | <rcam> | O we will. |
| 01:23 | <dopez> | as long as idsoftware still releases linux clients for there games i dont care too much :) |
| 01:23 | <knight-> | i.e. if you have 2 or more consoles on the network, let them share the same cache downloads |
| 01:23 | <knight-> | rather than have to redownload streams over and over and over |
| 01:23 | <billytwowilly> | knight-: Maybe the used game community isn't as big where you are. Up here it's pretty huge. |
| 01:23 | <rcam> | knight- That would present some sequrity issues. |
| 01:24 | <knight-> | I live in the Bay Area. We're all rich and we can all afford 10 computers per household and 3 consoles. |
| 01:24 | <knight-> | rcam, why is that? |
| 01:24 | <rcam> | Hehe. |
| 01:24 | <knight-> | well i see |
| 01:24 | <knight-> | however |
| 01:24 | <rcam> | knight- People could make attempts to trick the client into accepting the wrong data. |
| 01:24 | <rcam> | Its not worth the risk. |
| 01:24 | <knight-> | there's gotta be a way to help combine traffic |
| 01:24 | <knight-> | yep |
| 01:25 | <knight-> | 3 consoles could quite possibly leech up the bandwidth on a dsl for updates |
| 01:25 | <knight-> | etc |
| 01:25 | <knight-> | you know, you could sell add on devices |
| 01:25 | <knight-> | that sit on the lan |
| 01:25 | <rcam> | How many of you have limits on your data transfer? |
| 01:26 | <knight-> | that get detected by the consoles by zeroconf/Rendevouz |
| 01:26 | <rcam> | sell add? |
| 01:26 | <rcam> | You guys are more then welcome to send me your ideas. ryan |
| 01:26 | <rcam> | ryan@rcam.ws |
| 01:27 | <rcam> | As long as you don't mind us using them. |
| 01:29 | <billytwowilly> | rcam: Have you guys done any research into broadband in the US? I'm pretty sure the situation is better up here in Canada and we have limits, although they are mentioned as "reasonable usage" in the contract we sign. |

| 01:30 | <billytwowilly> | it's around 30 gigs/month and then they call you. |
| 01:30 | <rcam> | billytwowilly I am sure IL has. |
| 01:31 | <rcam> | billytwowilly We are doing the UI, OS, hardware desgin, and SDK. |
| 01:31 | <rcam> | design* |
| 01:33 | <billytwowilly> | So you might be screwed for downloading games to the machine... My ideal console would have a dvd burner built in and the ability to buy the game on dvd, stick it in the console and then have the console copy it to the hard drive and destroy the dvd.. then you could burn it back to a dvdr and have it remove itself from the console. That way you could still sell used games and you wouldn't alienate the game rental business. |
| 01:33 | <billytwowilly> | of course, that'd be next version if you ever did it because dvd burners are too expensive right now. |
| 01:33 | <billytwowilly> | Then again I might just be crazy;) |
| 01:34 | <knight-> | rcam, I will preregister |
| 01:34 | <rcam> | Great! |
| 01:35 | <rcam> | Don't assosiate retail cost with our cost. |
| 01:35 | <rcam> | They are nothing alike for price and demand mean nothing. |
| 01:35 | <billytwowilly> | rcam: Was that directed at me? |
| 01:36 | <rcam> | Yes sir it was. |
| 01:36 | <billytwowilly> | heh, I like the specs;) everything's going to be soldered down eh? I won't be able to pull the thing open and salvage all that choice hardware??;) |
| 01:36 | <rcam> | So is this -===>* |
| 01:37 | <billytwowilly> | rcam: So you're saying that my idea is feasible? |
| 01:38 | <rcam> | In concept. |
| 01:38 | <billytwowilly> | hehehe. I'm not entirely sure what that is;) |
| 01:38 | <rcam> | But when it comes to security it does not work. |
| 01:38 | <rcam> | Dvds can be copied. |
| 01:38 | <rcam> | Look as DeCss... noone thought it would be broken. |
| 01:39 | <beau> | there without realtime communication (and even then) you have no mechanism to copy protect media |
| 01:39 | <billytwowilly> | that was what? a 40 byte key? |
| 01:39 | <knight-> | Security is really all just an illusion. |
| 01:39 | <billytwowilly> | I think lots of the linux community was expecting decss to be broken. |
| 01:40 | <billytwowilly> | It was ridiculously insecure encryption because of the US encryption export controls. |
| 01:40 | <rcam> | knight- Data must be avalible in some way... Until we have opticial computing. |
| 01:41 | <knight-> | indeed, and even then, i bet there's a hack that hasnt been designed yet |
| 01:41 | <davatar> | trying to prevent something from being copied that was invented TO BE copied... talk about backwards ideas.... |
| 01:41 | <beau> | optical computing is just another digital medium, perhaps easier to copy |
| 01:41 | <rcam> | For opticial it will be hard. Its analog :| |
| 01:41 | <billytwowilly> | Also, decss was cracked because of sloppyness on the part of one software maker. They didn't encrypt their key. |
| 01:42 | <rcam> | I just talked to the guy that cracked the CD protection... They were suing him for breaking thier encryption... All he did was hit the shift key!!! |
| 01:42 | <rcam> | He explained why it worked... But how stupid do you have to be! |
| 01:42 | <billytwowilly> | rcam: and you have everything setup and connecting to a central server right? it'd be very easy to stop copying then. You just associate a unique ID with every copy of the game that is purchased. No unique ID, or an ID that is registered to another user and your copy of the game doesn't work. |
| 01:43 | <knight-> | rcam, all it requires is a shift of thinking (for the analog hacking) |
| 01:43 | <rcam> | billytwowilly Its all over the net. |
| 01:43 | <rcam> | So yes. |
| 01:43 | <rcam> | knight- Hehe. |
| 01:43 | <knight-> | eventually, when optical computing becomes common place, we'll have already paradigm shifted from where we are today |
| 01:44 | <knight-> | thoughts of security will shift again |
| 01:44 | <rcam> | Its nice to see some activity in Myth. I would like to get invloved but have to idea what to do. |
| 01:44 | <billytwowilly> | rcam: you said you can't code right? I think a theme would be a good idea. |
| 01:45 | <billytwowilly> | Or perhaps troll the mailing list archives and add more stuff to the documentation. |
| 01:45 | <rcam> | billytwowilly MY coding skills are ok. |
| 01:45 | <rcam> | But not good enough these days to work on anything like Myth. |
| 01:45 | <billytwowilly> | rcam: How old are you out of curiousity? |
| 01:46 | <rcam> | This is the question I get most... |
| 01:46 | <billytwowilly> | heh. |
| 01:46 | <rcam> | I just did an interview with Radio Disney on this infact... |
| 01:46 | <rcam> | It freaks people out... |
| 01:46 | <rcam> | 15 |
| 01:46 | <dopez> | hehe |
| 01:46 | <billytwowilly> | heh. |
| 01:46 | <rcam> | Yeah. |
| 01:47 | <beau> | foodtv covers the most bizarre shit |
| 01:47 | <rcam> | I did Fox News International a few years back... It really scared people. |
| 01:47 | <rcam> | I never imagined that I would be running a game company at Universal by age 15. |
| 01:47 | <rcam> | But one thing led to another,. |
| 01:47 | <rcam> | At this point I don't think I feel so young. |
| 01:48 | <billytwowilly> | I call bullshit. You're not old enough to be held legally liable for any bad decisions you make. |
| 01:48 | <dopez> | hmm, at 15 i was only thinking of drugs alcohol and getting out of school :) |
| 01:48 | <knight-> | you're 15? |
| 01:48 | <rcam> | billytwowilly But my legal staff is. And my father, Rick Pamplin, the film maker is. |
| 01:48 | <rcam> | knight- Your correct. |
| 01:48 | <billytwowilly> | therefore you can't be the ceo. |
| 01:48 | <knight-> | I'm not sure how investors take you seriously. |
| 01:48 | <rcam> | billytwowilly There is no age requirement to hold a position. |
| 01:49 | <rcam> | knight- Because they meet with me... And understand that it does not matter. |
| 01:49 | <knight-> | billytwowilly, Corporations are limited liability in most cases anyways. |
| 01:49 | <bitbyte> | altho you cant enter into a contract with a minor |
| 01:49 | <rcam> | If I can do it... and I am emotionally going on 30... what is the difference? |
| 01:49 | <knight-> | The company itself is liable. |
| 01:49 | <rcam> | bitbyte, With a judges consent I can. |
| 01:49 | <rcam> | knight-, Thats correct. |
| 01:50 | <beau> | well a corp itself is, but most other business instruments do not have a "veil" |
| 01:50 | <beau> | corps are equivalent to a human entity really, it's odd but cool |
| 01:51 | <billytwowilly> | So you were leading the work on a standalone version of CS when you were ten? |
| 01:51 | <rcam> | I don't think it limits me anymore... Infact it makes people more interested. |
| 01:51 | <billytwowilly> | Come on, that isn't even believable. |
| 01:51 | <rcam> | billytwowilly, Something like that. More along the lines of 10.5 or so. |
| 01:51 | <rcam> | I did no programming... I just ran the company. My title was Independant Team Lead. |
| 01:52 | <knight-> | So, do you run the office and manage your team when you get out of school at 2:30pm? |
| 01:52 | <rcam> | I don't have school. |
| 01:52 | <dopez> | do schools end at 2:30 these days? :) |
| 01:53 | <rcam> | I am eating lunch then :) |
| 01:53 | <beau> | dopez: 7:30am til 3pm typically |
| 01:53 | <knight-> | omg |
| 01:53 | <dopez> | i'm not even awake at that time :) |
| 01:53 | <knight-> | who in their right mind would let a 10 year old manage a game development team on a major project? |
| 01:53 | <rcam> | Me ethier... I get up at about 9AM. |
| 01:53 | <billytwowilly> | right... if this was a movie this is where we would cut to a fat 42 year old guy with a beard sitting at an old computer wearing a t-shirt saying "I'm that 13 year old bukkake princess you cybered with last night" |
| 01:53 | <rcam> | dopez, Why not? |
| 01:53 | <knight-> | Did you have an extensive background in game development management before 10? |
| 01:53 | <dopez> | rcam: no life ; |
| 01:54 | <dopez> | ;) |
| 01:54 | <davatar> | school is for those who can't teach themselves, if you don't need it, better for you.. |
| 01:54 | <rcam> | knight- I started a game revirew site when I was seven... |
| 01:54 | <knight-> | billytwowilly, yeah he's the guy named "beth" in The Parlour |
| 01:54 | <rcam> | By accident really. |
| 01:54 | <rcam> | By age nine we turned it into a game development company. |
| 01:54 | <knight-> | Dood, I'd really love to support you on this, I mean after all, I was programming in basic at 8, but crap, i couldnt even type. |
| 01:55 | <rcam> | Hehe. |
| 01:55 | <dopez> | i was programming basic at 8 too |
| 01:55 | <rcam> | I started young.. And I was lonely. |
| 01:55 | <knight-> | Those were the days of hunt and peck. |
| 01:55 | <dopez> | (i loved my c64 :) |
| 01:55 | <knight-> | me too |
| 01:55 | <knight-> | my c64 was bad ass |
| 01:55 | <billytwowilly> | classic: http://ryanmpamplin.cjb.net/ |
| 01:55 | <knight-> | then i got a c128 |
| 01:55 | <rcam> | People always ask if I am like some extrodinary mind but I don't think so. Be all you can be right? |
| 01:56 | <rcam> | billytwowilly O that. |
| 01:56 | <dopez> | i've gone from a c64 to ibm xt, and on with pc's |
| 01:56 | <knight-> | my first computer was a trash 80 |
| 01:56 | <dopez> | heh, i still have a tsr80 |
| 01:56 | <knight-> | you should send me it :) |
| 01:56 | <knight-> | i miss mine |
| 01:56 | <dopez> | hehe |
| 01:57 | <dopez> | im not sure where it is, i have way too much hardware stacked up here |
| 01:57 | <rcam> | So does Myth crash much? |
| 01:58 | <knight-> | all the time |
| 01:58 | <billytwowilly> | rcam: I've never had it crash. in knoppmyth |
| 01:58 | <beau> | rcam: about once in... 30 days or so |
| 01:58 | <rcam> | Nice. |
| 01:58 | <beau> | one of the most helpful things is to feed it a clean signal |
| 01:59 | <rcam> | As in cable? |
| 01:59 | <beau> | and try to find driver base that is at a solid point.. if you follow the cvs all the time you will sacrifice stability |
| 01:59 | <rcam> | Once it works I will stick with it. |
| 02:00 | <rcam> | billytwowilly Do you have the ISO? |
| 02:00 | <beau> | cable would be ok probably, an 866Mhz modern cable for sure. I use sat which is very similar.. the reciever seems to always output something clean, even if it's black-screen while the buffer is filled or the polarity/transponder is tuned/output. |
| 02:00 | <rcam> | I am downloading it from the bit torrent and its taking forever. |
| 02:01 | <rcam> | I was thinking of getting a Direct TV satalite and a DVB card with a card slot. |
| 02:01 | <beau> | I really look forward to a 2.6 kernel and myth and ivtv built all on that platform, right now lots of stuff is pending |
| 02:01 | <billytwowilly> | do you have bit torrent setup properly to upload as well? |
| 02:01 | <rcam> | O yes. |
| 02:01 | <rcam> | Always. |
| 02:01 | <beau> | yeah directivo would be good for pure hacking fun |
| 02:02 | -!- | tmk [~no@c-24-6-225-39.client.comcast.net] has quit [] |
| 02:02 | <dopez> | 2.6 kernel and mythtv worked fine here, never tried with the ivtv drivers tho.. |
| 02:02 | <rcam> | beau Not Tivo... the DVB card replaces your Tivo. |
| 02:02 | <billytwowilly> | then I can't really help you.. hey, one way you could help mythtv out is by mirroring knoppmyth. |
| 02:02 | <beau> | yeah a dvb card would be great |
| 02:02 | <beau> | dopez: thanks for the words of encouragement. I'm building the 2.6.beta10 now |
| 02:03 | <rcam> | Is the support good for DVB? |
| 02:03 | <rcam> | 2.6.beta10 Is the last kernel Linus released. |
| 02:03 | <beau> | which aspect of it? there is only about 4 cards out there total. The only common one is the hauppague card |
| 02:03 | <dopez> | beau: if your using a bttv card i wouldnt expect any trouble, not sure about the ivtv drivers tho |
| 02:04 | <rcam> | Is it supported? Does it act as the DTV Box? |
| 02:04 | <beau> | dopez: yeah cool, so provided I can get msp3400.o and ivtv.o I should be fine |
| 02:04 | <dopez> | i'd think so |
| 02:04 | <beau> | rcam: no hands on experience, buy one and come back to let me know |
| 02:04 | <rcam> | Hah. |
| 02:04 | <beau> | I almost bought one |
| 02:04 | <rcam> | Which one should I buy? |
| 02:05 | <beau> | but the hauppauge pvr350 seemed a more solid bet since a driver project was underway |
| 02:05 | <beau> | rcam: first, find a card that has a driver and does dvb.. the first condition may not be something you can satisfy unless the dvb card can be talked to via the bttv driver |
| 02:05 | <rcam> | I guess I will just stick witht he pvr350s. |
| 02:06 | <beau> | the day I can pull down dishnetwork on a dvb card in my pc, I will be in hog heaven, even moreso if it's hdtv |
| 02:06 | <rcam> | I head that can be done now. |
| 02:06 | <rcam> | heard* |
| 02:07 | <beau> | tell me how |
| 02:07 | <rcam> | I will have to remember who I talked to. |
| 02:07 | <rcam> | I need to come up with a better idea for a Theme. |
| 02:07 | <beau> | I find it hard to get excited about a theme |
| 02:08 | -!- | latetalk [~Dan@cs2428116-149.houston.rr.com] has quit ["Client Exiting"] |
| 02:08 | <rcam> | Why is that? |
| 02:09 | <rcam> | beau ^ |
| 02:09 | <beau> | I'm just more practical in my nature.. It can look like a steaming pile of shit as long as it works solid |
| 02:09 | <rcam> | I find most of the "open" community feels that way. |
| 02:10 | <beau> | While I'd rather drive a nice sports car, if I need to get A-->B I can drive a '77 Buick Roadmaster with wood panelling too. |
| 02:10 | <rcam> | Though I like eyecandy too. |
| 02:10 | <rcam> | Hehe. |
| 02:12 | <rcam> | Why did they start Freevo with MythTV already around? |
| 02:13 | <beau> | why did bavarian motorwerks sell "cars" in the US when GM and Ford was arround?... Difference of oppinion makes the world go 'round |
| 02:14 | <rcam> | I know that... But in this case it makes little since. |
| 02:14 | <rcam> | sense* |
| 02:14 | <rcam> | I know they had there reasons... But no one seems to know them |
| 02:15 | <billytwowilly> | I think freevo was around first. |
| 02:15 | <rcam> | billytwowilly Really? Huh. |
| 02:15 | <ChaosExiguum> | its a lot more stable |
| 02:15 | <ChaosExiguum> | and mature |
| 02:15 | <rcam> | FreeVO? |
| 02:16 | <ChaosExiguum> | yea |
| 02:16 | <billytwowilly> | I heard about freevo way before I heard about mythtv. |
| 02:16 | <rcam> | Hmm... |
| 02:16 | <rcam> | But FreeVO lacks so many features. |
| 02:16 | <rcam> | Its userbase is not very big ethier. |
| 02:16 | <rcam> | You cannot even pause in freevo. |
| 02:17 | <billytwowilly> | yah, but it was a step up from openpvr, which is what I knew about previous to freevo. |
| 02:17 | <ChaosExiguum> | it also requires a lot less horsepower than myth |
| 02:18 | <rcam> | Thats nice. |
| 02:18 | <ChaosExiguum> | i think the freevo people are more looking for a media box/vcr replacement |
| 02:18 | <ChaosExiguum> | where as myth is a pvr replacement/convergence box |
| 02:21 | <ChaosExiguum> | and on that thought, good night |
| 02:23 | <rcam> | Night man. |
| 02:23 | <dopez> | nn |
| 02:24 | <billytwowilly> | night |
| 02:25 | <beau> | g'night chaosexiguum |
| 02:29 | <rcam> | So any ideas for the theme? |
| 02:30 | <dopez> | dont use bright colors :) |
| 02:30 | <beau> | how about streaming porn, skinned onto the window trimming |
| 02:30 | <dopez> | beau: that might work :) |
| 02:30 | <rcam> | Hehe. |
| 02:30 | <rcam> | I want to create something for the mainstream site. |
| 02:31 | <beau> | ok, then how about... candy apple red and chrome with leather accents? |
| 02:31 | <rcam> | Really? |

| 02:32 | <dopez> | allmost sounds like we're talking about a car :) |
| 02:32 | <beau> | call it corvette |
| 02:32 | <dopez> | indeed |
| 02:32 | <rcam> | I wash thinking Viper. |
| 02:32 | <rcam> | Blue with white stripes. |
| 02:32 | <rcam> | Maybe in various colors. |
| 02:32 | <beau> | that would be royale metalic blue and silver with cream accents |
| 02:32 | <dopez> | hmm, too viper, the blue and white |
| 02:33 | <dopez> | i'd like the mustang |
| 02:33 | <rcam> | Maybe I should do various car themes. |
| 02:33 | <beau> | and see.. this is how freevo gets support |
| 02:33 | <dopez> | hehe |
| 02:33 | <beau> | all sorts of opinions on what is "best" |
| 02:33 | <rcam> | It would be awsome if the car was where the TV is and it was slowly rotating. |
| 02:33 | <dopez> | rcam: the car themes might work |
| 02:34 | <beau> | allow me to share with you all that BLT is food of the gods.. dayam this is a tasty sammich |
| 02:34 | <beau> | you could blatently rip off Need For Speed Models |
| 02:34 | <rcam> | Haha. |
| 02:35 | <rcam> | Or just use legal ones. |
| 02:35 | <beau> | or that |
| 02:35 | <beau> | in fact all the car designs need to be licensed since they are property of the designers and manuf. |
| 02:36 | <rcam> | Yes and no... |
| 02:36 | <rcam> | I will have to check with my legal department. |
| 02:36 | <beau> | go for it |
| 02:36 | <rcam> | I think they will say as long as we don't use the names of the cars we will be ok. |
| 02:37 | <rcam> | But I like the idea of leather and smoothed bubble looking textures. |
| 02:37 | <rcam> | And Chrome. |
| 02:39 | <rcam> | I need a more clear idea. |
| 02:39 | <rcam> | I will ponder. |

| 02:46 | <dopez> | hehe, i'm not that fond of the us-way |
| 02:46 | <beau> | no, I didn't think you would be.. but I can poke fun at us too |
| 02:46 | <dopez> | (i do like the language) |
| 02:46 | <rcam> | dopez, Why is that? |
| 02:46 | <beau> | I wish I could remember *ANY* of the dutch I learned 2 years ago |
| 02:46 | <dopez> | rcam: one word, bush.. |
| 02:47 | <dopez> | beau: you dont have too, everyone in holland understands english |
| 02:47 | <beau> | dopez: yeah I spent 3 weeks there in 99 |
| 02:47 | <beau> | loved it |
| 02:47 | <rcam> | dopez No only do we have Bush running the country... But a Dick and a Colan as well. |
| 02:47 | <dopez> | holland isnt that bad tho |
| 02:47 | <dopez> | rcam: hehe |
| 02:48 | <rcam> | I like Bush. |
| 02:48 | <beau> | you'd think with Dick and Bush we could at least fuck up in style... but no. |
| 02:48 | <rcam> | Lol. |
| 02:48 | <dopez> | haha |
| 02:48 | <dopez> | i liked clinton |
| 02:48 | <dopez> | at least he gone out with style |
| 02:48 | <rcam> | lol |
| 02:48 | <beau> | clinton made our foreign policy into a shambles |
| 02:49 | <dopez> | hehe |
| 02:49 | <beau> | I don't mind that he was getting some on the side.. what politician doesn't? But it was a huge waste of time here in the US |
| 02:50 | <dopez> | well, i guess that was true, but at least he didnt start a war etc.. |
| 02:50 | <dopez> | (note, i dont know anything about it all tho) |
| 02:50 | <dopez> | and this is really not the channel to chat about it :) |
| 02:51 | <beau> | bush is a war monger to be certain, but I have lost no love for iran/iraq/saudi arabia/syria |
| 02:51 | <beau> | true.. /me clams up |

| 04:40 | <rcam> | hi |
| 04:42 | <rcam> | You know... An AMD64 bit version of MythTV would be very nice. |
| 04:44 | <rcam> | I would expect we would see an actual improvement with 64bit over 32bit versions. |
| 04:44 | <knight-> | why cant you compile it on AMD 64? |
| 04:44 | <rcam> | Hi knight- |
| 04:44 | <knight-> | hey rcam |
| 04:45 | <rcam> | knight- Myth does not have support for AMD64... You cannot just decide to compile with different headers. |
| 04:45 | <rcam> | I think its mainly because of the headers. |
| 04:45 | <rcam> | That way I can take advantage of my 64bit processors. |

| 05:22 | <Doukegata> | out of curiosity, of those that have one, how many seconds does it take to change channels with the pvr-350? |
| 05:24 | <bline> | 1.4 maybe |
| 05:25 | <Doukegata> | ok, I wasn't sure if what I was experiencing was normal or not. |
| 05:25 | <bline> | normal |
| 05:25 | <Doukegata> | do you get a little bit of green and garbage on the right side of the screen, too? |
| 05:25 | <bline> | good thing I don't watch livetv with myth |
| 05:26 | <bline> | no |
| 05:26 | <Doukegata> | hmmm. |
| 05:26 | <Doukegata> | what res do you use? |
| 05:26 | <bline> | 480x480 maybe |
| 05:26 | <bline> | do you mean recording or for the tv? |
| 05:27 | <Doukegata> | ah, I'm using 640x480 |
| 05:27 | <Doukegata> | no I mean for livetv |
| 05:27 | <Doukegata> | seems to get worse with higher resolution |
| 05:27 | <bline> | so you mean the recording resolution |
| 05:28 | <bline> | could try a different driver and or firmware |
| 05:29 | <bline> | probably search the -dev and -users mailing list |
| 05:29 | <Doukegata> | yeah, i ahven't upgraded the firmware... |
| 05:29 | <Doukegata> | oh great... I changed the res, and now I get a black screen |
| 05:29 | | * Doukegata explodes |
| 05:29 | <bline> | I'm using an older driver because it _works_ now |

| 07:29 | <rcam> | How many minutes of data are in one gig in myth? |
| 07:30 | <hadees> | What do i need to do (programing wise) to get mythtv to react to TCP/IP |
| 07:30 | <hadees> | rcam: depends on what you encode to |
| 07:31 | <rcam> | explain please? |
| 07:31 | <hadees> | well mythtv can do mpeg2 and mpeg4 |
| 07:31 | <hadees> | and the quality of each can be changed |
| 07:32 | <rcam> | Well from x to what x? |
| 07:32 | <rcam> | Between 1 hour and 10 or? |
| 07:32 | <hadees> | i get about a gig an hour i guess |
| 07:32 | <hadees> | and i consider that watchable |
| 07:33 | <hadees> | oh a gig an hour with mpeg2 |
| 07:33 | <rcam> | Good? |
| 07:33 | <hadees> | yeah real good quality |
| 07:33 | <rcam> | What input card? |
| 07:33 | <hadees> | hauppage 250, it is a hardware encoder |
| 07:33 | <rcam> | Thats right :) |
| 07:33 | <rcam> | So no lines like the pvr250 right |
| 07:34 | <rcam> | ? |
| 07:34 | <hadees> | pvr250 is a hauppage 250 |
| 07:34 | <hadees> | same card |
| 07:34 | <rcam> | O... |
| 07:34 | <hadees> | what do you mean lines? |
| 07:34 | <rcam> | I hear that it screws up. |
| 07:34 | <rcam> | Has lines on the sides |
| 07:34 | <rcam> | And such. |
| 07:35 | <hadees> | from who and where? |
| 07:35 | <rcam> | Just in here over time |
| 07:35 | <rcam> | . |
| 07:35 | <rcam> | Why... Do you beg to differ? |
| 07:35 | <hadees> | well currently it is the favorite card |
| 07:35 | <hadees> | if you have questions about it go to ivtv-dev |
| 07:35 | <rcam> | Better then the 350? |
| 07:35 | <hadees> | #ivtv-dev |
| 07:36 | <hadees> | the 350 and the 250 are the same |
| 07:36 | <rcam> | Really... hmm ok. |
| 07:36 | <hadees> | 350 can just also decode mpeg 2 |
| 07:36 | <rcam> | I see. |
| 07:36 | <hadees> | with the 250 your chip does it |
| 07:37 | <rcam> | Hardware is better.. I would imagine. |
| 07:37 | <rcam> | Right? |
| 07:38 | <hadees> | its prefrence really but i like hardware because hard drives are cheap now and my computer doesn't get really slow while recording |
| 07:38 | <rcam> | If I am running a dedicated AMD64 3400+ will I notice a slow down? |
| 07:39 | <rcam> | I might want to watch TV at the same time. |
| 07:39 | <hadees> | you need an input for each |
| 07:39 | <hadees> | so that would be two cards to watch tv and record |
| 07:39 | <rcam> | Right. |
| 07:40 | <hadees> | you probaly wouldn't but my problem was i wanted to do lots of things at once |
| 07:40 | <rcam> | I could always watch a recorded show while recording. |
| 07:40 | <rcam> | Thanks very much! I am going to go install now. |

| 08:19 | <StuartL> | :) |
| 08:19 | <Octane> | make sure you set settings through test_ioctl |
| 08:20 | <StuartL> | Make sure you set the resolution/standard before selecting the input. |
| 08:20 | <Manta|Labs> | hmm |
| 08:20 | <Manta|Labs> | whenever I set with test_ioctl |
| 08:20 | <Manta|Labs> | it doesn't work |
| 08:20 | <StuartL> | And remove/insert the modules if you want to change the resolution/input. |
| 08:20 | <StuartL> | Erm. |
| 08:20 | <StuartL> | Remove the "/input" from the latter one. |
| 08:22 | <Manta|Labs> | is there a way to use dd to display it? |
| 08:22 | <Manta|Labs> | straight to the monitor |
| 08:22 | <StuartL> | Not as far as I know. |
| 08:22 | <StuartL> | I had a complete failure getting VLC to work. |
| 08:23 | <Octane> | StuartL you mean when calling the module? |
| 08:23 | <StuartL> | Though I understand you need V4L2 to get VLC to work. |
| 08:23 | <Manta|Labs> | VLC works but it's streaming "static" |
| 08:23 | <Manta|Labs> | (i.e. as tho it wasn't tuned to anything) |
| 08:23 | <StuartL> | Ah, okee. |
| 08:23 | <Manta|Labs> | on all inputs |
| 08:23 | <Manta|Labs> | i'm not sure if it's a) videolan not selecting input properly |
| 08:23 | <StuartL> | What video standard (NTSC/PAL/Secam) are you using? |
| 08:23 | <Manta|Labs> | or b) there's genuinely no correct input |
| 08:23 | <Manta|Labs> | should be pal, I thinkl |
| 08:23 | <StuartL> | Where are you? |
| 08:24 | <Manta|Labs> | UK :) |
| 08:24 | <Manta|Labs> | but the camera could be anything :) |
| 08:24 | <StuartL> | Camera? |
| 08:24 | | * Manta|Labs goes to try and find out |
| 08:24 | <Octane> | camera? |
| 08:24 | <Manta|Labs> | we have a webcam -> s-video in |
| 08:24 | <Manta|Labs> | well, a proper camera |
| 08:24 | <Manta|Labs> | not a webcam |
| 08:24 | <Manta|Labs> | but it's a camera |
| 08:24 | <StuartL> | Get a video player, cable feed or something to try it out. |
| 08:24 | | * Manta|Labs goes to find out what input type |
| 08:24 | <StuartL> | Get the input working first. |
| 08:24 | <Manta|Labs> | that's quite hard to do :O |
| 08:25 | <StuartL> | Where did you buy the camera? |
| 08:29 | <Manta|Labs> | It's a special industrial style camera |
| 08:29 | <StuartL> | So could be anything :) |
| 08:29 | <StuartL> | Try to find another video source... |
| 08:29 | <StuartL> | Something reliable that you know what it is. |
| 08:29 | <Manta|Labs> | Panasonic WV-CSR400 Composite Video Camera |
| 08:30 | <Manta|Labs> | a problem i'm having is |
| 08:30 | <Manta|Labs> | whenever I use test_ioctl |
| 08:30 | <Manta|Labs> | the card stops sending |
| 08:31 | <Manta|Labs> | I have to modprobe -r and modprobe ivtv again |
| 08:31 | <Manta|Labs> | any ideas? :) |
| 08:34 | <StuartL> | Sounds similar to the problems I was having. |
| 08:34 | <Manta|Labs> | hmm |
| 08:34 | <Manta|Labs> | I think I hadn't set it to PAL |
| 08:34 | <Manta|Labs> | so it defaulted to NTSC? |
| 08:35 | <hadees> | is there anyway to get nuvexport to be automatic or make a queue |
| 08:35 | <hadees> | so i don't have to sit there and type each one in |

| 09:29 | <DogBoy> | rcam, I am |

| 09:30 | <Ku-less> | warlord: To what? |
| 09:30 | <warlord> | but xmltv .23 is working just fine for me. |
| 09:30 | <warlord> | Ku-less: google for that error and you'll find some web pages that describe the problem |
| 09:31 | <Ku-less> | I did google for the error. |
| 09:31 | <Ku-less> | I didn't get any hits. |
| 09:32 | <warlord> | Then you're blind. |
| 09:32 | <warlord> | it's the first hit I get |
| 09:32 | <warlord> | what did you google for? |
| 09:33 | <rcam> | Hi |
| 09:33 | <Ku-less> | The second line. |
| 09:33 | <warlord> | try the first |
| 09:34 | <Ku-less> | That returns two hits. |
| 09:34 | <warlord> | try the first 4 words |
| 09:34 | <warlord> | without the quotes |
| 09:39 | <Ku-less> | Found some links that describe the problem. |
| 09:40 | <warlord> | when I searched for "parameterless use UI deprecated" the first link was the issue. |
| 09:41 | <Ku-less> | The issue is xmltv. |

| 09:45 | <Ku-less> | The former will be a problem. |
| 09:46 | <warlord> | what version of perl? |
| 09:46 | <Ku-less> | 5.8.0-r12 5.6.1-r3 5.8.1-r2 |
| 09:47 | <warlord> | so you have three versions installed?!? |
| 09:47 | <Ku-less> | Seems so. |
| 09:48 | <warlord> | that sounds.... probelmatic |
| 09:49 | <Ku-less> | The only problem would be not having some packages not visible to certain versions. |
| 09:49 | <Ku-less> | err, scratch one not |
| 09:50 | <warlord> | but that's already the case. |
| 09:50 | <warlord> | what do you get from 'perl -v'? |
| 09:51 | <Ku-less> | "This is perl, v5.8.1 built for i686-linux ..." |

| 09:52 | <Ku-less> | How? |
| 09:52 | <warlord> | how did you install multiple versions? |
| 09:52 | <Ku-less> | emerge <some package> |

| 10:08 | <warlord> | it reduces one potential issue in the search for answers. |
| 10:08 | <warlord> | another possibility is that you have multiple versions of xmltv installed in different places. |
| 10:09 | <Ku-less> | The problem is, as a pretty obvious guess, that 5.8.1 can't see 5.8.0 packages. |
| 10:09 | <Ku-less> | xmltv has a lot of dependencies. So, the solution is to reemerge everything that's in 5.8.0 to have a copy in 5.8.1 |
| 10:10 | <Ku-less> | If that doesn't work, I'll have to remember 5.8.1 and go back to using 5.8.0. |
| 10:11 | <warlord> | sounds like a plan. |

| 13:00 | <Chutt> | not that i'm aware of |
| 13:00 | <Chutt> | ask rkulagow |
| 13:01 | <JonnyRo> | is there a way to duplicate the mythconverg recorded table on another system easily from within mysql? |
| 13:01 | <o_cee> | i will when i see him |
| 13:01 | <Chutt> | read the mysql docs |
| 13:01 | <o_cee> | just small fixes |
| 13:01 | <o_cee> | btw, there shouldn't be anything done about the appearance of the page? it's prefered to be that 'simple'? |
| 13:02 | <Chutt> | feel free to spruce it up as well |
| 13:03 | <o_cee> | cool. nothing as big as mythweb, but something minimalistic tastefull ;) |

| 14:14 | <CyberKnet> | what a debacle this whole AVerMedia M179 has become. |
| 14:16 | <bitbyte> | how so |
| 14:18 | <CyberKnet> | Did you order? |
| 14:18 | <CyberKnet> | I have the names of 16 people who ordered from the first auction who have still not received their cards. |
| 14:18 | <CyberKnet> | Just from the MythTV-Users list. |
| 14:19 | <CyberKnet> | I suspect there were more on the list who just chose not to respond. |
| 14:19 | <CyberKnet> | But I have not heard from a single person having received a card yet. |
| 14:19 | <Chutt> | oh no, they're taking a little long to ship |
| 14:19 | <Chutt> | the world's going to end! |
| 14:19 | <bitbyte> | ahhh |
| 14:19 | <CyberKnet> | bleh |
| 14:19 | <bitbyte> | from avermedia? or ebay or somthing? |
| 14:19 | <CyberKnet> | AVerMedia |
| 14:19 | <Chutt> | you're getting the cards for half their retail |
| 14:19 | <Chutt> | i don't think anyone has any reason to complain. |
| 14:20 | <bitbyte> | why half retail? some group buy? |
| 14:20 | <Chutt> | they're discontinuing the card |
| 14:20 | <CyberKnet> | Chutt: if you get a burger from McDonalds that's been sitting there for an hour, do you not complain because it costs half the price of a burger from Lonestar?? |
| 14:20 | <Chutt> | i don't eat at mcdonalds. |
| 14:20 | <Chutt> | i don't buy stuff from ebay, either. |
| 14:21 | <CyberKnet> | This is being shipped from aver direct. |
| 14:21 | <Chutt> | so? |
| 14:21 | <Chutt> | you bought it from ebay |
| 14:22 | <CyberKnet> | so? It's not like I twisted Aver's arm to get it. They agreed to sell, at set terms. And they've neglected to follow through on that. Why should it be different just because I didn't walk into a store? |
| 14:22 | <Chutt> | you didn't buy from aver. |
| 14:22 | <Chutt> | you bought from someone who works there's wife. |
| 14:22 | <bitbyte> | ahhh |
| 14:22 | <CyberKnet> | The wife was just the listing agent. The listing was on behalf of Aver |
| 14:22 | <Chutt> | how long would it take _you_ to ship out a few hundred cards if you had no consumer shipping department? |
| 14:23 | <CyberKnet> | I wager I wouldn't offer to ship them if I couldn't do it. |
| 14:23 | <Chutt> | i wager you need to learn a little patience. |
| 14:24 | <CyberKnet> | Noted. |
| 14:24 | <Chutt> | all the bitching on the mailing list was annoying, don't do it in here too. |
| 14:25 | <CyberKnet> | If you like. |
| 14:26 | <CyberKnet> | I'll make certain to respond to people individually when Grant gets back to me with the status of people's orders so that it doesn't go to the list again then. |
| 14:32 | <bitbyte> | ya, for half price, you cant gripe too hard. unless you don't get it at ALL |
| 14:33 | <CyberKnet> | anyway. we won't talk about that here any more. |
| 14:34 | <Chutt> | shoulda bought one from newegg when they were going for $35 if you really wanted one :p |
| 14:35 | <bitbyte> | hehe |
| 14:35 | <bitbyte> | neweeg ricks |
| 14:35 | <bitbyte> | ack |
| 14:35 | <bitbyte> | newegg rocks |
| 14:35 | <bitbyte> | :\ |
| 14:35 | <CyberKnet> | I very much like newegg. |
| 14:36 | <bitbyte> | indeed |
| 14:36 | <CyberKnet> | Chutt: I would have even preferred $60 from newegg to ebay. I guess I didn't look hard enough. Live and learn. |
| 14:36 | <bitbyte> | i've bought a few things off ebay, makes me nervous everytime tho |
| 14:36 | <bitbyte> | no recourse |
| 14:37 | <CyberKnet> | Yeah. This is only the second thing I have gotten, and probably the last. Zipzoomfly and Newegg are so much nicer. |
| 14:38 | <bitbyte> | zipzoomfly? never seen that one |
| 14:39 | <CyberKnet> | GoogleGear renamed. |
| 14:42 | <bitbyte> | ah |
| 14:43 | <CyberKnet> | I've had good experiences with them. |
| 14:43 | <CyberKnet> | I got a 120GB 'cuda from them. |

| 14:45 | <bitbyte> | :) |
| 14:45 | <CyberKnet> | My 120 was just under $100 |
| 14:45 | <bitbyte> | that's not gonna ecode HD |
| 14:45 | <bitbyte> | decode |
| 14:46 | <CyberKnet> | that's not going to decode [hard drive|high definition]? |
| 14:46 | <bitbyte> | HDTV |
| 14:46 | <CyberKnet> | Hmmm... I don't have hdtv anyway. just regular analog cable. |
| 14:47 | <CyberKnet> | I'm hoping it can decode the 179 mpeg2 |
| 14:47 | <CyberKnet> | but maybe it cant |
| 14:47 | <CyberKnet> | in which case, I'll get a celeron 2ghz |
| 14:47 | <bitbyte> | the pcHDTV card needs a miniimum p4 1.8ghz to decode. plus whatever you need for Myth |
| 14:47 | <bitbyte> | and other processes |
| 14:47 | <CyberKnet> | I'm going to run M179's |
| 14:48 | <CyberKnet> | equivalent to PVR-250's |
| 14:48 | <bitbyte> | my plan is for a pcHDTV card and a 350 |
| 14:48 | <CyberKnet> | that would be a nice setup. |
| 14:48 | <Chutt> | i don't think the 350 will decode hd |
| 14:48 | <CyberKnet> | I had originally planned for a 250 and a 350 |
| 14:48 | <bitbyte> | it wont |
| 14:48 | <bitbyte> | my tv out will be a vga converted signal |
| 14:49 | <CyberKnet> | that's what I run currently. |
| 14:49 | <CyberKnet> | a vga converted signal. |
| 14:49 | <bitbyte> | with component outs |
| 14:49 | <bitbyte> | so i can run 1080i |
| 14:50 | <Chutt> | then why spend the extra cash on the 350? |
| 14:51 | <bitbyte> | to be able to encode regular input |
| 14:51 | <bitbyte> | the pcHDTV is just for the HD content |
| 14:51 | <o_cee> | why not the 250 then? |
| 14:51 | <bitbyte> | perhaps |
| 14:51 | <o_cee> | perhaps? |
| 14:51 | <CyberKnet> | Chutt: Would I be correct in saying that a single PIII 733 Mhz cpu would have difficulty decoding MPEG2 and overlaying an OSD simultaneously? |
| 14:51 | <Chutt> | that's at least $50 :p |
| 14:51 | <bitbyte> | i forget what it was now, but i read something the 350 does better |
| 14:51 | <Chutt> | cyberknet, no, it should be fine |
| 14:52 | <Chutt> | as long as you don't go insane on the bitrates. |
| 14:52 | <Chutt> | and have xv support, of course |
| 14:52 | <Chutt> | bitbyte, it has a decoder/tv out, and a radio tuner. it's identical, otherwise. |
| 14:52 | <CyberKnet> | I'll have to look into the xv support. |
| 14:52 | <Chutt> | except that it's a larger card, and produces more heat. |
| 14:52 | <bitbyte> | chutt, ok, i had thought i read the encoder on the 350 was a diff chipset |
| 14:52 | <bitbyte> | and did a better job |
| 14:53 | <Chutt> | the firmware does all the encoding |
| 14:53 | <bitbyte> | ok |
| 14:53 | <Chutt> | and that's the same for both cards. |
| 14:53 | <bitbyte> | so a pcHDTV and a 250 |
| 14:53 | <bitbyte> | but the 250 is the lesser factor, since the HDTV content is what takes the most juice to playback |
| 14:54 | <Chutt> | yup |
| 14:54 | <bitbyte> | more cpu yet if you want to timeshift |
| 14:54 | <bitbyte> | thats just playback of recorded content |
| 14:54 | <bitbyte> | from what i've read |
| 14:54 | <Chutt> | why would that be? |
| 14:54 | <Chutt> | it's essentially just dumping the stream to disk, after doing some extremely minimal processing on it. |
| 14:55 | <bitbyte> | encoding, not decoding |
| 14:55 | <bitbyte> | decoding it for playback is what takes all the cpu |
| 14:55 | <bitbyte> | it's mpeg2 |
| 14:55 | <Chutt> | um |
| 14:55 | <Chutt> | i know what hd is. |
| 14:55 | <Chutt> | there's no encoding going on. |
| 14:55 | <bitbyte> | i know |
| 14:56 | <Chutt> | then what are you talking about? |
| 14:56 | <bitbyte> | i'm not talking about encoding, |
| 14:56 | <bitbyte> | playback |
| 14:56 | <bitbyte> | it's software decoding |
| 14:56 | <Chutt> | 'more cpu yet if you want to timeshift' |
| 14:56 | <bitbyte> | according to the information i've gotten form the threads and from pchdtv, you need a minimum of 1.8ghz p4 to playback |
| 14:56 | <bitbyte> | right |
| 14:57 | <bitbyte> | 1.8 to playback reocrded content only. if you want to pause live playback, it takes even more cpu |
| 14:57 | <Chutt> | since there is no encoding going on, timeshifting is identical to playback. |
| 14:57 | <bitbyte> | perhaps it's an io issue |
| 14:57 | <bitbyte> | i don't know |
| 14:57 | <bitbyte> | that's why i'm here |
| 14:57 | <bitbyte> | :) |

| 15:19 | <bitbyte> | you need to get an HD card then |
| 15:19 | <ChaosExiguum> | I was thinking 480 |
| 15:19 | <bitbyte> | they arent tht expensive anymore |
| 15:19 | <bitbyte> | the pcHDTV card does atsc |
| 15:19 | <ChaosExiguum> | I dont think the pvr350 handles higher |
| 15:20 | <bitbyte> | so are you talking about capturing at a higher resolution and downconverting to be able to playback on the 350? |
| 15:20 | <ChaosExiguum> | that would be the ideal, if its possible |
| 15:21 | <bitbyte> | transcoding that video is gonna be resource intensive i would think |
| 15:21 | <bitbyte> | why do you want to play it on the 350? |
| 15:21 | <farce> | he wants a homebrew directv pvr |
| 15:22 | <ChaosExiguum> | I dont have an hdtv, and my mythbox is a 1ghz c3 :o) |

| 15:24 | <bitbyte> | you wanna have your cake and eat it too |
| 15:24 | <ChaosExiguum> | yup |
| 15:24 | <bitbyte> | i dont think you are going to like how long it takes to transcode that video down to something your tv can play |
| 15:24 | <bitbyte> | especially with a 1ghz cpu |
| 15:24 | <bitbyte> | i transcode stuff all the time ot author dvd's with, and my 2 ghz has to go for hours as it is |
| 15:25 | <bitbyte> | yours is a celery too, so it's even slower |
| 15:25 | <ChaosExiguum> | hehe, thats why I was hoping maybe there was a hardware solution that decoded the hd signal to 480i |
| 15:25 | <bitbyte> | no |
| 15:25 | <bitbyte> | HD is streamed directly to the disk |

| 16:41 | <isaac_> | i assumed it was just due to having to stop encoding, switch channels on tuner, and begin encoding + sync again |
| 16:42 | <bitbyte> | well, it's also because it buffers |
| 16:42 | <Kuwanger> | Nah, that's just prebuffering. |
| 16:42 | <Kuwanger> | Wait until tv tuners can switch fast enough to prebuffer all channels necessary to remove the delay. :) |
| 16:42 | <Kuwanger> | Chutt: You were right. Old 5.6.1 was interfering somehow. |
| 16:43 | <bitbyte> | so if there's a 3 second buffer, you add that to the time it takes to change chans etc. i dont know that it actually uses a 3 second buffers, just an example |
| 16:43 | <isaac_> | oh, neat |
| 16:43 | <isaac_> | i didn't know it buffered |
| 16:43 | <bitbyte> | thats what i meant when i said live tv wasnt really live |
| 16:43 | <bitbyte> | it's like a 3 or 4 second delay |
| 16:44 | <isaac_> | neat :) |
| 16:44 | <Kuwanger> | Weird..it's claim version 0.5.4 :) |
| 16:44 | <isaac_> | hopefully better network hardware will stop some of the chopiness |
| 16:44 | <isaac_> | and i'll have a managed switch to play with. heh! |
| 16:44 | <bitbyte> | kuwanger, that would require huge amounts of disk space to buffer each and every channel at once |
| 16:44 | <Kuwanger> | bitbyte: Well, the other hack is to play while you're buffering. |
| 16:45 | <bitbyte> | they ar eplaying while buffering |
| 16:45 | <bitbyte> | it's a fifo buffer |
| 16:45 | <Kuwanger> | Not at the beginning. |
| 16:45 | <bitbyte> | or "spool" |
| 16:45 | <bitbyte> | heh |
| 16:46 | <Kuwanger> | Think of a history buffer. |

| 16:46 | <bitbyte> | they run a few seconds behind |
| 16:46 | <Kuwanger> | You can still be live. You'd actually be playing non-encoded video if possible. |
| 16:46 | <bitbyte> | i'm not a developer, so i dont know why they choose the delay they choose |
| 16:47 | <Kuwanger> | It's just more complicated.. |
| 16:47 | <bitbyte> | if you hav elive, then you' have to initiate e buffer when yo hit pause |
| 16:47 | -!- | Viddy [~lsk@visp194-179.visp.co.nz] has joined #mythtv |
| 16:47 | <bitbyte> | so everything you watch is recorded |
| 16:47 | <bitbyte> | to avoid that |
| 16:47 | <Kuwanger> | If you, for example, had a buffer underrun.. |
| 16:48 | <Kuwanger> | Well, the "cheap" solution is to play it live and keep a back buffer. The second you pause or rewind, you skip out of "live" mode and use the buffer solely. |
| 16:48 | <hadees> | anyone know any place i can learn about bitrate, i am trying to convert my tv shows to divx with nuvexport but the quality sucks and i don't know what values to put in to get a watchable quality |
| 16:48 | <Kuwanger> | hadees: The higher the better. :) |
| 16:49 | <Kuwanger> | hadees: What resolution you using? |
| 16:49 | <hadees> | yeah but isn't incremental otherwise it doesn't look right |
| 16:50 | <Kuwanger> | Hmm? |
| 16:51 | <hadees> | here is what i got Audio bitrate 64, Video bitrate 256, Horizontal resolution 320, Vertical resolution 240 |
| 16:51 | <Kuwanger> | 64? Wow. |
| 16:51 | <hadees> | its the default |
| 16:52 | <isaac_> | does mythbackend log anything that would be printed on the console to /var/log/mythtv/mythbackend.log? |
| 16:52 | <hadees> | i am guessing i should really use 128 |
| 16:52 | <hadees> | isaac_: not sure but it shouldn't be that hard to compare it |
| 16:52 | <Kuwanger> | Uh, audio bitrate is set by a quality slider.. |
| 16:52 | <Kuwanger> | So, how do you know the bitrate? |
| 16:53 | <Kuwanger> | I'm quite surprised a 256 bitrate works well, though. |
| 16:53 | <hadees> | no quality slider this is a command line interface |
| 16:53 | <hadees> | kuwanger: it doesn't work well thats the problem |

| 16:54 | <Kuwanger> | hadees: Hmm..don't use 256 bitrate. :) |
| 16:54 | <hadees> | i just switch windows back to the xterm i started it from |
| 16:54 | | * isaac_ food |
| 16:54 | <hadees> | should i double it? should i use 257 |

| 16:54 | <Kuwanger> | Trial and error. |
| 16:55 | <hadees> | thats going to take for ever, there has to be a guide out there |
| 16:55 | <Kuwanger> | For 320x240 on just about anything, you want an output size around 300MB/hr. |

| 17:44 | <hadees> | hehe, i was kind of hoping for a already writen perl script, i really just need advice on what a good quality is from mpeg2 |
| 17:45 | <hadees> | so if anyone uses nuvexport and has found a good mixture of quality and smallest file size... |
| 17:45 | <Ku-less> | hadees: mpeg2? I thought you were using divx. |
| 17:46 | <hadees> | i have a pvr250, so all my sources are mpeg2 i want to archive them in divx |
| 17:47 | <Ku-less> | Okay, just use half the size. :) |

| 21:08 | <Netslayer> | wow |

| 21:09 | <mikegrb> | subject from and if it is for me or wife |

| 23:01 | <isaac_> | paulc: apt-get install xmltv :D |
| 23:02 | <paulc> | It's already installed |
| 23:02 | <paulc> | so, I just re-installed to make sure |
| 23:02 | <isaac_> | that'll update it though. |
| 23:02 | <paulc> | it's already updated, but I did --reinstall just to cover |
| 23:02 | <isaac_> | heh. well. |
| 23:02 | <isaac_> | touche |
| 23:03 | <paulc> | now when I run setup in myth, which I've had working successfully before, and I go to video isources and put in my zip code, it doesn't find anything |
| 23:04 | <paulc> | I think this is a problem with the website changing format and my perl not updating the perl modules |
| 23:04 | <isaac_> | paulc: i think the modules don't really affect how xmltv parses the website |
| 23:04 | <isaac_> | but i might be wrong. |
| 23:04 | <Ku-less> | paulc: What's the error out of mythsetup? |
| 23:05 | <isaac_> | make double sure you don't have two different tv_grab_na binaries (ie updatedb && locate tv_grab_na) |
| 23:05 | <paulc> | no error, it just doesn't list any providers in the tv_grab_na_config section |
| 23:05 | <Ku-less> | paulc: Very weird. |
| 23:05 | <paulc> | ok, will do |
| 23:06 | <paulc> | If I go into CPAN and try install Video::Frequencies for example, it will end in an error. I've had this happen before but it got fixed in perl I believe |
| 23:06 | <isaac_> | why don't you use the .debs for perl modules? |
| 23:07 | <paulc> | I did |
| 23:07 | <isaac_> | oh |
| 23:07 | <isaac_> | heh |
| 23:07 | <paulc> | hold on, still doing updatedb |
| 23:08 | <paulc> | yeah, just one tv_grab |
| 23:08 | <paulc> | which package does that come in? |
| 23:08 | <isaac_> | xmltv |
| 23:08 | <isaac_> | i think xmltv may be a metapackage |
| 23:08 | <paulc> | aha xmltv-util |
| 23:09 | <isaac_> | apt-get install it :D |
| 23:09 | <paulc> | going... |
| 23:09 | <paulc> | nope...still no providers |
| 23:10 | <isaac_> | have you tried putting your zip into zap2it in a browser and seeing what it returns? |
| 23:12 | <paulc> | lots of stuff...I've had this working before. I think perl got updated somehow and now is screwing things up |
| 23:13 | -!- | Viddy [~lsk@visp194-179.visp.co.nz] has quit [Connection timed out] |
| 23:13 | <paulc> | for example, I have XMLTV within the /usr/share/perl5 directory, but I have also two perls (5.8.1 and 5.8.2) under /usr/share/perl directory. I think my machine is using the 5.8.2. Does the perl5 directory do anything? |
| 23:17 | <paulc> | I guess it does. On Debian, the Zaplistings.pm is in the libxmltv-perl |
| 23:17 | <paulc> | it looks like Zaplistings.pm has to be updated |
| 23:22 | <paulc> | Yeah, ok, there is a fix for Zaplistings available on the myth mailing archive. I applied that fix and everything seems to be ok again. Thanks. |

| 23:23 | <linagee_> | ut ohh. did xmltv break? i only have today and tomorrow in my TV database (been working fine since now) |
| 23:24 | <davatar> | I just did apt-get install xmltv on a brand new fedora install, hopelessly hosed the rpm db again. just a warning :) |

| 23:25 | <linagee_> | davatar: what i meant was, is their web scraping script in xmltv borked |
| 23:25 | <linagee_> | (it's been working fine until now. didn't upgrade anything) |
| 23:25 | <davatar> | linagee_: Well I assumed you meant the actual program... I'm battling other demons here. |

| 23:33 | <hadees> | can anyone recommend a good remote for mythtv? |
| 23:38 | <davatar> | hadees: I just got one of my old (well, just useless) vcr remotes and set it up :) |
| 23:40 | <robbie_> | the pvr350 remote isnt too bad |
| 23:44 | <hadees> | i want a remote that can do everything... |
| 23:44 | <hadees> | i really want netremote... i wish i was a better programer |
| 23:45 | <hadees> | i use the pvr250 grey remote i just feel like there arn't enough buttons and the volume buttons are also the arrows so it doesn't work so well as a myth remote |
| 23:47 | <dopez> | i like my pinnacle remote, it has allot of buttons, the bttv card itself sucks tho.. |
| 23:48 | <hadees> | you see the remote that HP has for microsoft media edition, what do you think of them? |
| 23:49 | <dopez> | never seen that i think |
