| 00:02 | mikegrb> | heh |
| 00:03 | * | billytwowilly fears he's scared kvandivo off;) |
| 00:03 | kvandivo> | no.. i'm looking.. this was 5 years ago.. |
| 00:03 | billytwowilly> | oh ok. Thanks. |
| 00:04 | billytwowilly> | hmm. a lot has changed in five years... Do you think it might just be better to buy a book? |
| 00:04 | kvandivo> | not much has changed as far as intro programming goes |
| 00:04 | kvandivo> | the basics are still thesame |
| 00:04 | billytwowilly> | ok. thanks. |
| 00:04 | billytwowilly> | I'll happily take them if you have them:) |
| 00:07 | mikegrb> | heh so would heidig |
| 00:07 | billytwowilly> | I should get back to studying for finals. If you dig up your notes and want to send them to me you can dcc them to me or email me them @ quilley@shaw.ca. |
| 00:07 | kvandivo> | i'm finding lots of other stuff.. |
| 00:07 | * | mikegrb wanders over to the myth code to find the scroll alert bug |
| 00:08 | billytwowilly> | Or if you can't find them and/or don't want to send them that's cool too. |
| 00:08 | billytwowilly> | Cheers. |
| 00:08 | heidig> | heh |
| 00:08 | kvandivo> | fortran notes, grades, gradebook programs, cheat checking programs.. |
| 00:08 | mikegrb> | heh |
| 00:08 | mikegrb> | cheat checking |
| 00:08 | billytwowilly> | cheat checking? |
| 00:08 | kvandivo> | yep... scanned their programs for similarities.. |
| 00:09 | billytwowilly> | but shouldn't they look fairly similar? There's only so many ways you can code hello world;) |
| 00:09 | kvandivo> | when i first wrote it in 95 it would run all night long on a multiprocessor machine we had down there |
| 00:09 | billytwowilly> | heh. |
| 00:09 | kvandivo> | fairly, yes, but you'd be amazed at the differences |
| 00:09 | billytwowilly> | now it can check every test written in the world in five seconds;) |
| 00:09 | kvandivo> | the students didn't know what hit them.. One time I gave the same assignment that I had given two years before |
| 00:09 | + | david_ [~lsk@203-167-191-182.dsl.clear.net.nz] joined #mythtv |

| 00:10 | billytwowilly> | expelled? |

| 00:10 | kvandivo> | na.. just a zero for that particular assignment with the knowledge to not try it again |
| 00:10 | kvandivo> | expulsion is a very difficult thing to do at a public univ |
| 00:10 | billytwowilly> | I'm not a big fan of cheaters.. I'd atleast push for fail in the course with a note on his record. |
| 00:11 | billytwowilly> | hmm. up here they hand out a copy of the university policy on plagiarism and cheating to every student every year. |
| 00:11 | kvandivo> | some were more blatant that others.. that one was amusing though, because the guy thought that i had actually went back and checked each persons paper against the 100s of other papers that had been turned in years earlier |
| 00:11 | billytwowilly> | it clearly states that you will at the very least fail the course and you will probably be expelled. |
| 00:11 | billytwowilly> | comes in handy for the administration;) |
| 00:12 | kvandivo> | ya.. we did the same thing, but in reality that is tougher that it looks |
| 00:12 | billytwowilly> | Hehehe. |
| 00:12 | billytwowilly> | that's amusing;) Probably more effective than telling him you used a program;) |
| 00:12 | kvandivo> | they thought we were complete losers that had nothing better to do with our time than spend hundreds of hours looking through their papers for similaritie |
| 00:12 | kvandivo> | they should have known that cs teachers would use technology |
| 00:13 | billytwowilly> | Heh. |
| 00:13 | kvandivo> | ahh.. fun times |
| 00:13 | billytwowilly> | It's a disease eating the heart out of America.. And to some extent Canada.. it's sad.. |
| 00:15 | Misirlou> | Wasn't a recently discovered, new element found to be a forgery? |
| 00:15 | kvandivo> | wow.. old copies of CircleMud code from back when I was admining one.. |
| 00:15 | billytwowilly> | Heh, do you have this all on floppies? |
| 00:16 | kvandivo> | tgz files |
| 00:16 | billytwowilly> | oh ok.. |
| 00:16 | billytwowilly> | That's not as bad;) |
| 00:16 | kvandivo> | no, and I should have found it by now |
| 00:17 | billytwowilly> | well, don't stress too much about it. |

| 01:47 | mdz_> | Chutt: here now |
| 01:58 | Chutt> | hey |
| 01:58 | Chutt> | d'ya think you could apply a small patch to your 0.13 debs? |
| 01:59 | Chutt> | it's linked to from the website |
| 01:59 | mdz_> | yeah, just saw it |
| 01:59 | mdz_> | when I was going back for the plugins |
| 01:59 | mdz_> | mythmusic, mythweb and mythweather 0.13 are up so far |
| 02:00 | Chutt> | great |
| 02:00 | Chutt> | thanks for building em =) |
| 02:01 | Chutt> | all the plugins, aside from mythdvd, should be pretty similar now |
| 02:01 | Chutt> | since there's no db stuff to worry about |
| 02:01 | Chutt> | and all they do is install the shared lib and maybe some image files |
| 02:02 | mdz_> | is mythdvd still a separate executable? |
| 02:02 | Chutt> | it's a shared lib and a separate exe |
| 02:02 | mdz_> | oh, mtd, right |
| 02:03 | mdz_> | I had built and uploaded 0.11 debs for it but I don't think I announced them |
| 02:03 | mdz_> | it doesn't do anything about mtd at the moment besides install it |

| 02:04 | Chutt> | 'slong as it's in the path |
| 02:04 | mdz_> | ok |
| 02:04 | mdz_> | I think my new mythweb package might be broken |
| 02:05 | Chutt> | heh |
| 02:05 | mdz_> | I wasn't really able to test it because it needs to connect to a backend now |
| 02:05 | Chutt> | yeah |
| 02:05 | mdz_> | did the config file format change again? |
| 02:05 | Chutt> | i don't think it did |
| 02:05 | Chutt> | well, when did mythweb 2 go in? |
| 02:05 | mdz_> | Eloy Paris is helping me test, and he says it was broken, but was fixed when he copied in the default conf.php |
| 02:06 | mdz_> | sometime before 0.11 |
| 02:06 | Chutt> | some small stuff may have changed |
| 02:06 | mdz_> | mythweb (0.11-1) unstable; urgency=low |
| 02:06 | mdz_> | * New upstream release |
| 02:06 | mdz_> | * Config file format changed again; changes will be lost |
| 02:06 | mdz_> | I think that was mythweb 2 |
| 02:06 | Chutt> | yeah |
| 02:07 | mdz_> | I don't know what version he was upgrading from |
| 02:08 | mdz_> | on upgrade from pre-0.11-1 it just backs up the config file and blows it away |
| 02:08 | Chutt> | heh |
| 02:09 | mdz_> | it substitutes in the db connection info anyway |
| 02:09 | mdz_> | maybe that's the part which broke |
| 02:09 | mdz_> | it doesn't exactly parse all PHP syntax to do it |
| 02:11 | mdz_> | no, that seems to work. I'll have to find out what happened with eloy's install |
| 02:12 | mdz_> | probably some new setting was added which needs a default |
| 02:12 | Chutt> | i think the date stuff may have changed |
| 02:12 | Chutt> | dunno, though |
| 02:13 | mdz_> | Warning at /usr/share/mythtv/mythweb/includes/init.php, line 73: |

| 02:17 | mdz_> | probably that |

| 02:24 | mdz_> | ok, all of the existing debs are updated to 0.13 now |
| 02:24 | mdz_> | Chutt, I think I said that if you did the automatic db upgrades I would package mythgame, no? |
| 02:24 | mdz_> | or was it mythvideo |

| 02:57 | kwenda> | i have 0.13 across the board |
| 02:57 | Teflon> | maybe your problem was fixed in cvs? |
| 02:58 | kwenda> | is there a changelog for CVS |

| 03:02 | Teflon> | lvm rocks |
| 03:02 | kwenda> | the cvs changelog doesnt mention this particualr issue |
| 03:02 | billytwowilly> | hmm. I don't like doing that just because if one dies you lose everything. |
| 03:02 | Teflon> | true. |
| 03:02 | Teflon> | but myth doesn't spool to two volumes happily yet |

| 03:08 | billytwowilly> | heh. well it's sounds like it's a problem with the backend... |
| 03:08 | billytwowilly> | maybe with the database? |
| 03:09 | billytwowilly> | why is your backend so far away? |
| 03:09 | kwenda> | its something within mythbackend - im not sure why mythweb even needs to talk to the backend; it could just ask the database |
| 03:10 | Teflon> | kwenda, it can't do that for thumbnails! |
| 03:10 | kwenda> | its colocated at an ISP i used to work for... free cable |
| 03:10 | Big_Popp1> | lol, what is the lag time kwenda? |
| 03:11 | kwenda> | Teflon, it gets the thumbnails from mythbackend? why not just generate the png files 1 min into the recording and save them statically |
| 03:11 | kwenda> | Big_Popp1, about 11ms average |
| 03:11 | Big_Popp1> | wow, that's it? |
| 03:12 | kwenda> | yeah my DSL is way more badass than it should be |
| 03:12 | Teflon> | kwenda, it saves them once on first hit to the show |
| 03:12 | billytwowilly> | hehe. I started using mythtv to cut back on my bandwidth usage;) you must do what? 10 gigs/day just in tv? |
| 03:12 | Teflon> | if mythweb isn't used, thumbnails aren't used. |
| 03:13 | Teflon> | i believe other information comes via the backend too |
| 03:13 | kwenda> | hrm, well it works half the time, so i CAN just click it again... |
| 03:13 | kwenda> | billytwowilly, http://britebox.kylewenda.com/stats/mrtg/blaster-eth0.html |
| 03:15 | billytwowilly> | interesting... |
| 03:15 | kwenda> | this one is cooler though http://britebox.kylewenda.com/stats/mrtg/blaster-stats.html |
| 03:15 | billytwowilly> | that's for the mythtv box right? |
| 03:15 | kwenda> | yeah thats the backend box |
| 03:16 | billytwowilly> | Is that just traffic to your home box from the backend? |
| 03:16 | kwenda> | no thats all traffic on the backend |
| 03:16 | billytwowilly> | My ISP would shit their pants if I averaged 479 kbits/s over the whole month.. |
| 03:16 | kwenda> | that second link is much cooler though |
| 03:16 | Teflon> | 479kbps? |
| 03:17 | Teflon> | at work i consume about 5mbps inbound to myself |
| 03:17 | billytwowilly> | Teflon: Where do you work? |
| 03:17 | Teflon> | i can't comment. |

| 03:18 | billytwowilly> | What do you do? Can you answer that? |
| 03:18 | kwenda> | my backend is at an ISP that i used to work at |
| 03:18 | kwenda> | they don't really care |
| 03:18 | Teflon> | my boss teases me constantly that i'm singlehandedly able to consume more bandwidth than all our services and staff. |
| 03:18 | kwenda> | my ISP for my DSL probably doesn't really care either... they've got a few million other customers to worry about |
| 03:18 | billytwowilly> | heh do you develop gnutela for a living or something teflon??;) |

| 03:24 | Teflon> | ahhh |
| 03:24 | Teflon> | high cpu use = higher power draw |
| 03:24 | kwenda> | yeah i didnt realize it would jump 20% like that though |
| 03:24 | Teflon> | my myth box has a pvr-250 so its cpu use is always near 0 except during playback. |
| 03:24 | kwenda> | thats almost 100 extra watts when its encoding 2 streams |

| 03:25 | Teflon> | not idle state. |
| 03:25 | Teflon> | bootup is a good test usually. |

| 03:30 | Teflon> | my xmitter is at a funny angle from the box, but works 10000% of the time compared to the one that the digicable box had to blast the vcr |
| 03:30 | kwenda> | see, since i never SEE the box, i don't think about physcial things like that |
| 03:30 | Teflon> | the tivo one used a high power ir led like the one i build does so it doesn't surprise me the tivo blaster worked as well as mine does. |
| 03:31 | Teflon> | so you watch tv remotely?! |
| 03:31 | Teflon> | how... bizzare |
| 03:31 | kwenda> | yeah |
| 03:31 | kwenda> | don't have to pay for cable that way =) |
| 03:31 | Teflon> | anyone else watch tv from it? |
| 03:31 | + | billytwowilly [~chris@h24-66-18-138.ed.shawcable.net] joined #mythtv |
| 03:31 | kwenda> | no... i guess they could |
| 03:31 | Netslayer> | fluxbox? |
| 03:31 | kwenda> | i have everything but my netblock firewalled off right now |
| 03:31 | billytwowilly> | did teflon spill the info on what he does while I was gone??;) |
| 03:32 | Teflon> | billytwowilly, i had to find a list of hostnames within a zonefile that used to be in our control but someone got out of our control. so i scanned it with a dictionary attack :) |
| 03:32 | Teflon> | found enough to reconstruct 99% of the file. |
| 03:32 | Netslayer> | what's the best Windows Manager just for mythtv? |
| 03:32 | Netslayer> | is fluxbox good? |
| 03:32 | Teflon> | no idea |
| 03:32 | Teflon> | i think i use twm |
| 03:33 | Netslayer> | ok, anyone else? |
| 03:33 | Netslayer> | twm or fluxbox |
| 03:33 | kwenda> | i use KDE just because its default and i saw no reason to change it |
| 03:33 | DogBoy> | fluxbox is a good window manager |
| 03:33 | * | Netslayer researches twm |
| 03:33 | Netslayer> | kde is a bit large for me |
| 03:33 | DogBoy> | kde is bloat city |
| 03:34 | Netslayer> | with these windows managers do u get mythtv to auto start by adding scripts to .xinitd or something |
| 03:34 | kwenda> | probably... but i dont use my frontends for anything else, and i only reboot when the power goes out |
| 03:34 | Teflon> | Netslayer, let me dig out my startup |

| 03:37 | Netslayer> | what distro u running? |
| 03:37 | Teflon> | the loops make sure mythtv and the backend keep getting restarted |
| 03:37 | Teflon> | debian |
| 03:37 | Netslayer> | sweet |
| 03:37 | Netslayer> | so if frontend dies it starts again |
| 03:37 | Teflon> | my wife uses the pvr so i dont like getting "Roy! The TV isn't working" calls. |
| 03:37 | Netslayer> | i'm thinking of making a script and bind it to a key on my remote for mythfrontend, to kill it first also |
| 03:37 | Netslayer> | heh |
| 03:37 | Teflon> | bad enough i had to teach her to ssh as root and killall mythtv |
| 03:38 | Netslayer> | i'm doing a mythtv network in my house, don't want the parents doing the same |
| 03:38 | Teflon> | lol |
| 03:38 | Teflon> | myth may be more stable by now |
| 03:38 | Teflon> | i haven't updated in a few months. |
| 03:38 | Teflon> | i can only upgrade when i'm home on one of my wife's marathon nights. |
| 03:38 | kwenda> | ohh you gave your wife your root pw? |
| 03:38 | Netslayer> | ya .12 worked for me, updated to .13 (and i did some other alsa stuff) lost the whole system.. pretty much. |
| 03:39 | Teflon> | kwenda, sure, what's she gonna do with it? |
| 03:39 | Netslayer> | heh |
| 03:39 | kwenda> | Teflon, she who play in root eventually kill tree. |
| 03:39 | Teflon> | she's got a mac, it makes her happy. |
| 03:39 | Teflon> | she likes pine |
| 03:39 | Teflon> | she doesn't like graphical mail clients. |
| 03:40 | Teflon> | she's an odd one. |
| 03:40 | Teflon> | she has 15,000 emails in her inbox |
| 03:40 | kwenda> | lol as far as flaws go i think pine is one i'd overlook... |
| 03:40 | Teflon> | she's the reason i switched back to Maildir on the server. |
| 03:41 | Teflon> | (admittedly i have 2.1GB of email on the server. |
| 03:41 | kwenda> | i've got somewhere over 30k emails in my inbox at work (exchange server) ... i just leave them there after i read them |
| 03:41 | Netslayer> | wow |
| 03:41 | Teflon> | hmmm only 256 folders? |
| 03:42 | Teflon> | find Maildir/ -type d | grep /cur | wc -l |
| 03:42 | * | Netslayer remembers outlook express..more then 2k emails would corrupt the files and freeze it |
| 03:42 | Teflon> | Netslayer, um. i had 125k once. |
| 03:42 | Netslayer> | think i had that compression thing tweaked |
| 03:42 | Teflon> | (i was postmaster for an isp, among other mailboxes, and someone spammed from us) |
| 03:42 | Netslayer> | or not tweaked |
| 03:43 | Netslayer> | i lost my whole dbx file or whatever cause of that.. or maybe it was 10k can't remember |
| 03:43 | Teflon> | i ditched OE about 4 months ago and use thunderbird |
| 03:43 | Netslayer> | huh |
| 03:43 | Netslayer> | what's a good linux graphical mail client? |
| 03:43 | Teflon> | thunderbird |
| 03:43 | Netslayer> | k |
| 03:43 | kwenda> | heh i run spamassassin | procmail and send all my spam to a file - it grows at the rate of 1gb every 39 days |
| 03:43 | Teflon> | oh, use IMAP |
| 03:44 | Teflon> | kwenda, oh, spam? sec, calculating my spam folder size |
| 03:44 | Teflon> | i use SA and filter my spam to a quarantine |
| 03:44 | Teflon> | there are 1.2gb of spam quarantined on my system currently. thats 14 days worth for all users. |
| 03:44 | Teflon> | i'm only 243m |
| 03:44 | Teflon> | nice |
| 03:45 | Netslayer> | so u have some spam filters or something to do that? |
| 03:45 | kwenda> | oh i don't quarantine them... i just run them through procmail |

| 03:47 | Teflon> | all mail on my system comes in, gets amavised, then punted to SA where if it was a virus a custom rule quarantines it. |
| 03:47 | Teflon> | kwenda, global for all users. |
| 03:47 | Teflon> | i have about 100 users. |

| 03:48 | kwenda> | i see |
| 03:48 | Teflon> | i needed to fund my need for my own server, so i had some users join me and they pay for some of the colo. |
| 03:48 | kwenda> | that pcs_mail.php just sends me a notification on my cell that i have a new mail, who its from and what the subject is |
| 03:48 | Teflon> | costs me about 40% of the monthly now, instead of 75% |
| 03:49 | Teflon> | cute kwenda |
| 03:49 | Teflon> | i get too much email to do that. |
| 03:49 | Netslayer> | cool |
| 03:49 | kwenda> | i get several hundred a day |
| 03:49 | kwenda> | but maybe 2 make it past SA |
| 03:50 | kwenda> | and if it doesnt make it past SA, i don't get notified, it just goes to a spam folder |
| 03:50 | Teflon> | severa hundred spam or legit emails? |
| 03:50 | Teflon> | i get about 350 spam/day |
| 03:51 | kwenda> | several hundred spams... 2 or 3 legit emails |

| 03:51 | kwenda> | no way id do that on my work acct |
| 03:51 | Teflon> | ah. |
| 03:51 | Teflon> | i get about 60-100 legit mails, 10-20 sneaked spam, 200-350 spam/day |
| 03:52 | Teflon> | not counting pre-sorted mail lists. |
| 03:52 | Teflon> | oops, been about 12 months since i checked one acct. |
| 03:52 | Teflon> | heh. |
| 03:52 | Teflon> | there's some more disk space back |
| 03:52 | kwenda> | whats awesome to me is SA has never yet misidentified one, in almost a year now |
| 03:52 | Teflon> | thats bizzare |
| 03:53 | kwenda> | i didnt tweak it from the default config |
| 03:53 | Teflon> | youre lucky |
| 03:53 | Teflon> | hmmm fun.. burning dvd + ripping cds |
| 03:54 | kwenda> | all i did was pipe about 1500 saved legit emails into salearn --ham and all the spam i got that month through salearn --spam .... once it learned it caught them everytime |
| 03:54 | Teflon> | i continuously teach it and yet its still not quite right |
| 03:54 | kwenda> | do you have razor support? |
| 03:55 | Teflon> | yep |
| 03:55 | Teflon> | razor, dcc, others |
| 03:55 | Teflon> | i have too much legit mail that's spammy |

| 03:59 | kwenda> | kde doesnt take weeks |
| 04:00 | kwenda> | gnome takes months |
| 04:01 | Netslayer> | any of you running gentoo? wondering what the best way to install lirc is, by emerging or manually building tar or cvs |
| 04:01 | Teflon> | kwenda, gnome and kde both suck, if you ask me |
| 04:02 | Teflon> | too many cross dependcies on too frequently changing libraries and programs that dont retian backward compatibility. |
| 04:02 | kwenda> | Netslayer, i wouldnt use a package if God told me to |
| 04:02 | kwenda> | ./configure && make && sudo make install |
| 04:02 | kwenda> | is the only way to go on my box |
| 04:02 | Teflon> | kwenda, you haven't tried freebsd ports have you? |

| 04:06 | Teflon> | ah.. p4 |
| 04:06 | Netslayer> | is that java sdk 1.4? |
| 04:06 | janek> | since then they've brought out mostly new versions of the Athlon (with more and more cache say, like the Barton), and then the Athlon-64 which is new |
| 04:06 | Teflon> | Netslayer i refer to the jdk1.4.2 for freebsd native. it uses the linux jdk to build the freebsd jdk. go figure. |
| 04:07 | Netslayer> | heh, so it's java right |
| 04:07 | Teflon> | i've got an athlon 1800 in the myth box and a 2600 in the win box. |

| 04:08 | Teflon> | 1800xp is more than sufficient for recording off a pvr-250 |
| 04:08 | Teflon> | and just barely adequate for dvd-quality playback. |

| 08:31 | engie> | The debs smell broken. Has anyone used them successfully? |
| 08:32 | janek> | is the dvb stuff working well for you? I finally got most things working fine aside from problems on a few channels that I have bad reception on plus that aspect ratio/resolution change problem |
| 08:32 | PassSeeker> | I am think about setting up a digital harddisc recorder using MythTV |
| 08:33 | nchip> | janek: dvbstream works fine, I'm just in the process of installing mythtv |
| 08:33 | PassSeeker> | does someone has one using suse linux 9.0 proffesional |
| 08:34 | janek> | PassSeeker: it shouldn't matter too much what distribution you use |
| 08:35 | PassSeeker> | witch is the best linux for mythtv? debian, knoppix, suse? I am a absolute beginner with linux |
| 08:35 | + | rkulagow [~rkulagow@12-251-64-234.client.attbi.com] joined #mythtv |
| 08:35 | janek> | nchip: good luck, it's still kinda tricky installing dvb with mythtv ;) |
| 08:35 | PassSeeker> | I found in the net that most have problems using suse |
| 08:35 | nchip> | janek: yeah, I'm noticing |
| 08:36 | janek> | PassSeeker: knoppix is probably easiest to set up with myth (there's a special myth version of knoppix), debian is nice because it can automatically update your system |
| 08:36 | janek> | but debian is a bit hard to install for someone new to linux |
| 08:37 | PassSeeker> | but isnt it worth to try to install debian? i heared that debian is much better than knoppix and knoppix is a litle bit hard to update |
| 08:37 | janek> | nchip: feel free to ask me any questions, I've been meaning to write up my experiences on installing mythtv with dvb but haven't gotten around to it yet |
| 08:38 | janek> | PassSeeker: Knoppix is based on debian anyway, if you install knoppix to your HD it should be just as easy as debian to update (from what I understand) |
| 08:38 | janek> | but, I haven't tried so I don't know for sure |
| 08:39 | PassSeeker> | the pc I will use for mythtv is currently my windows fileserver. is there a chance to do the same after having mythtv installed? |
| 08:40 | engie> | PassSeeker: You can use samba to serve files to windows PC's under linux |
| 08:40 | PassSeeker> | But the harddisk are in ntfs |
| 08:40 | PassSeeker> | Do i have to convert to fat32? |
| 08:40 | engie> | PassSeeker: Linux doesn't (properly) support writing to ntfs disks, unfortunatly |
| 08:41 | PassSeeker> | So I have to convert to fat32 |
| 08:41 | PassSeeker> | ?!? |
| 08:41 | janek> | well, linux can read ntfs, read and write to fat32 but fat32 doesn't support all the filesystem properties that linux expects |
| 08:41 | sfr> | PassSeeker: impossible then. linux has read-only support for ntfs |
| 08:41 | engie> | There are far better file systems |
| 08:41 | engie> | well, better than fat32 |
| 08:41 | janek> | better than ntfs too ;) |
| 08:41 | janek> | ntfs is a horrid filesystem |
| 08:41 | engie> | janek: Well, ntfs ain't that bad! |
| 08:42 | PassSeeker> | But how do I convert without losing my data on the hds? |
| 08:42 | engie> | Can partition magic do magic like that? |
| 08:42 | engie> | I'd wipe them and restore from backups, easier all round |
| 08:42 | PassSeeker> | And wich filesystem should I use ? |
| 08:42 | janek> | yes, partition magic should be able to convert ntfs to fat32 |
| 08:43 | janek> | but it's probably risky |
| 08:43 | engie> | janek: Can it convert to ext2? |
| 08:43 | PassSeeker> | I cant do a backup, cause thats about 240 GB |
| 08:43 | engie> | ntfs -> fat32 is fine |
| 08:43 | engie> | PassSeeker: That's a bit of a pain then :-/ |
| 08:43 | janek> | engie: I have no idea if it can convert to ext2 ;) |
| 08:44 | engie> | I'm in a similiar situation, I'm gonig to borrow a friends houge external maxtor to move my stuff onto then convert and copy back |
| 08:44 | janek> | PassSeeker: it'd probably be a good idea to do a backup of anything that's really important anyway just in case |
| 08:44 | PassSeeker> | So if I convet to fat32 linux can act as a filesever if I understand it right? |
| 08:44 | engie> | should only take about a week |
| 08:44 | engie> | PassSeeker: I don't know if linux install on fat32 properly. I'm not sure I'd like to try it to find out |
| 08:44 | janek> | PassSeeker: yes, but some things won't work quite right (like you won't be able to have a user own a file on fat32) |
| 08:44 | nchip> | 2003-12-14 15:44:19 DVB#0 WARNING - Your frequency setting (658000000) is out of range. (min/max:0/0) |
| 08:44 | janek> | no, you really don't want to install linux on fat32, but you could keep the files the fileserver is serving on fat32 |
| 08:44 | PassSeeker> | that doesnt matter, so I am the only user |
| 08:45 | engie> | PassSeeker: There is a way to install linux in a (big) file which is on a Fat32 drive |
| 08:45 | engie> | PassSeeker: Do you have a files disk and another disk you plan to put linux on |
| 08:45 | janek> | engie: true, but it's a horrible hack and not really worth it ;) |
| 08:45 | engie> | another partition even? |
| 08:45 | PassSeeker> | thats what I want to do. linux on a linux filesystem and my data on a fat32 |
| 08:45 | engie> | janek: True, true |
| 08:45 | janek> | PassSeeker: that's ok then |
| 08:45 | engie> | PassSeeker: Ahh, great |
| 08:45 | engie> | yeah, I do that here. Works great |
| 08:45 | PassSeeker> | so that would work without a problem |
| 08:46 | PassSeeker> | ? |
| 08:46 | engie> | PassSeeker: Yep. Convert the ntfs to fat32 though, otherwise you won't be able to write to it |
| 08:46 | PassSeeker> | and than I use samba? |
| 08:46 | janek> | yes |
| 08:46 | janek> | nchip: are you using dvb-t? |
| 08:46 | engie> | samba is great, faster than windows for serving to windows machines |
| 08:46 | engie> | bizarrly |
| 08:47 | PassSeeker> | I think I will try that... can I do that with that KnoppMythTv version? |
| 08:47 | engie> | The default knoppix can read fat32 |
| 08:47 | engie> | I assume that still applies in the mythtv version |
| 08:47 | engie> | I don't know if it has sama built in though |
| 08:47 | engie> | PassSeeker: Would you install knoppix to the HD or run it off a cd? |
| 08:48 | PassSeeker> | I would install on HD |
| 08:48 | nchip> | janek: yes. and it seems to work now :) |
| 08:48 | engie> | Knoppix is just a version of debian prettied up for running straight off a cd. You can install it to disk though, then you just have debian with lots of nice stuff set up for you |
| 08:48 | engie> | from then on you can treat it as a debian machine |
| 08:48 | janek> | knoppmyth does include samba |
| 08:49 | PassSeeker> | great :) :) |
| 08:49 | engie> | mythtv is built with debian in mind (sorta, I understand() |
| 08:49 | janek> | not sure if it's got an easy setup utility for samba though ;) |
| 08:49 | PassSeeker> | can I use that machine than too as my router to the internet for my windows pc? |
| 08:49 | engie> | samba's pretty easy to set up, especially if swat's running |
| 08:49 | PassSeeker> | what is swat? |
| 08:50 | engie> | linux makes a great router, as long as iptables are set up in teh knoppix kernel |
| 08:50 | engie> | I don't know if they are |
| 08:50 | sfr> | engie: not built with debian in mind, but Chutt uses Debian |
| 08:50 | nchip> | mythbackend is taking 12-14% of cpu without any frontend connected |
| 08:50 | engie> | sfr: Fair enough. I remember reading in teh docs that the base system was debian |
| 08:51 | janek> | nchip: is it recording something perhaps? it's not even showing up in top for me... |
| 08:51 | janek> | PassSeeker: one nice thing about knoppix is you can run it from CD without having to change anything on your HD, which would be a nice safe way to play around with it for a bit |
| 08:52 | PassSeeker> | One last question. I have about 6 HD in my pc. how do I find out witch is the one I would like o install knoppix/debian? |
| 08:53 | janek> | you will probably have to install the boot loader at least on the master disk of the first controller... |
| 08:53 | PassSeeker> | ok. |
| 08:53 | janek> | (or, well, somewhere that your bios expects to find a boot loader ;)) |
| 08:54 | PassSeeker> | lets say one of them is already empty and ready for linux and I know the driver letter under windows. how do I find that drive if I install debian/knoppix? |
| 08:55 | PassSeeker> | Sorry but I am an absolute beginne in linux |
| 08:55 | janek> | PassSeeker: that's kind of tricky... linux will list all the partitions it sees at bootup and you might be able to figure it out from there, also I think Knoppix sets them all up with read-only access so you should be able to tell from that what they are called under linux |
| 08:56 | janek> | linux generally calls partitions something like /dev/hda1 where a is the letter for the HD and 1 is the number of the partition |
| 08:57 | janek> | as an absolute beginner, I would recommend playing around with Knoppix a bit in the CD version before installing it to your HD |
| 08:57 | janek> | that way you can get some experience with it without risking messing anything up :) |
| 08:58 | sfr> | some say installing knoppix on hdd IS already messing up! |
| 08:58 | PassSeeker> | wouldn it be better if I have only those hds connected I realy need at that time ? |
| 08:59 | nchip> | janek: doesn't seem so.. atleast it says "not recording". |
| 09:00 | janek> | PassSeeker: Knoppix is very conservative with what it does to your HDs, by default you won't be able to write to any of your windows partitions until you explicitly tell it to allow you to |
| 09:00 | PassSeeker> | if that hd would be the first on salve controller it would be /dev/hdb2 ?!? |
| 09:00 | janek> | if you remove some HDs while you're installing and then add them back in later, the drive names could change |
| 09:01 | janek> | nchip: very odd... can you watch tv in mythtv yet? |
| 09:01 | janek> | just wondering if maybe it's stuck trying to tune a channel or something |
| 09:02 | nchip> | yes, I can watch TV fine |
| 09:03 | nchip> | I just need to find the keybindings for everything :P |
| 09:03 | PassSeeker> | ok thanks guys... will see you soon if I try to install mythtv |
| 09:03 | = | PassSeeker [PassSeeker@krsn-d9b993f9.pool.mediaWays.net] quit () |
| 09:04 | janek> | nchip: do you have a Hauppauge budget card with the remote? If so you'll want to use the patch that someone mentioned on the mailing list for that... |
| 09:06 | nchip> | I have a nova-t, no remote :/ |
| 09:07 | janek> | ok, still more or less the same card as mine |
| 09:14 | nchip> | there is no deinterlacing? |
| 09:15 | janek> | nchip: you should be able to turn on deinterlacing (unless you're using XvMC like myself) |
| 09:18 | nchip> | janek: where? :-o I didn't spot the option |
| 09:19 | janek> | one sec ;) |

| 10:12 | D-side> | engie: you're doing this on a woody box, not sid.. right? |
| 10:12 | mikegrb> | Octane: a big patch? |
| 10:12 | mikegrb> | Octane: I think he normally doesn't do it |

| 10:12 | mikegrb> | I think he said they go to /dev/null |

| 10:15 | D-side> | pahli_bar: heh. you're another one who's never actually used gentoo, right? :) |
| 10:15 | engie> | pahli_bar: Possibly a stupid question, but just to check, to go woody -> sid I only have to change my sources.list and apt-get update && apt-get upgrade... |
| 10:15 | D-side> | i get that all the time from people. then they try it. those types of comments cease, and guess what they run? :) |
| 10:15 | D-side> | engie: dist-upgrade |
| 10:15 | pahli_bar> | D-side: well i did... didn't like too much... too unstable for my liking |

| 10:17 | pahli_bar> | to each man to himself :) |
| 10:17 | D-side> | pahli_bar: hey, i'm NOT saying theres anything wrong with debian. my new philosophy is "debian on the servers, gentoo on anything that blinks, beeps, or otherwise draws attention to itself" |
| 10:18 | mikegrb> | heh |
| 10:18 | mikegrb> | I hage gentoo on a server |
| 10:18 | D-side> | Octane: what email address will it come in on? |
| 10:18 | engie> | oh well, here goes nothing. dist-upgrade - wish me luck... |
| 10:18 | D-side> | mikegrb: eh, its really the same as having freebsd on a server... kind of. :) |
| 10:18 | pahli_bar> | i have been using debian on all my desktops and no complaints |
| 10:18 | heidig> | good luck |
| 10:18 | Octane> | D-side: dan@theidiots.org |
| 10:18 | engie> | well that was a dissapointment |
| 10:19 | D-side> | pahli_bar: i used sid maybe 4 years ago on my desktop. then one day i didnt have a desktop anymore. that pissed me off, so no sid since then. |
| 10:19 | D-side> | though of course I did fit sid into a 350mb microdrive. was giong to use it in an EPIA system until i was walking around a computer show and saw a pundit. love at first sight. |
| 10:20 | nchip> | gentoo is nice if you have time/enthusiasm to follow the bleeding edge |
| 10:20 | pahli_bar> | on a side note: the benefit of using debian is that isaac does all his development on debian unstable. so you know problems with debian will be minimal |
| 10:20 | mikegrb> | gentoo isn't really bleeding edge |
| 10:20 | mikegrb> | quite stabile |
| 10:20 | mikegrb> | I had problems with debian heh |
| 10:20 | engie> | D-side: Sorry for debian question, but do I just have to apt-get dist-upgrade. I just ran that and 0 changes were made. |
| 10:21 | pahli_bar> | engie: did u do a apt-get update before that |
| 10:21 | engie> | pahli_bar: About 20 times :D |
| 10:21 | mikegrb> | heh okie |
| 10:21 | pahli_bar> | engie: what's ur src list for unstable |
| 10:21 | mikegrb> | er |
| 10:22 | D-side> | engie: in your sources.list you're using all "unstable" listings? |
| 10:22 | mikegrb> | I don't really have a use for one |
| 10:22 | mikegrb> | er |
| 10:22 | engie> | D-side, pahli_bar: I've sent those to you direct |
| 10:23 | D-side> | woody and sarge and sid, oh my! |
| 10:23 | pahli_bar> | engie: maybe the last unstable src is out of sync. copy ur testing lines and paste them with unstable replacing testing |
| 10:24 | engie> | pahli_bar: One tic |
| 10:24 | D-side> | that could have been exceedingly ugly. :) |
| 10:24 | engie> | mv /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.whoops... |
| 10:26 | c0nflict> | does anyone have any suggestions for troubleshooting mythweather data issues? |

| 10:28 | pahli_bar> | c0nflict: try pinging some remote machine by name |
| 10:29 | D-side> | hm. |
| 10:29 | D-side> | dev/dsp isnt usable. |
| 10:29 | c0nflict> | dns works |
| 10:29 | c0nflict> | apt works |
| 10:30 | c0nflict> | like I said, it retrieves the program guide data, just not rss,weather and imdb info |
| 10:30 | c0nflict> | hrm. I wonder if it has anything to do with the squid cache? |
| 10:30 | pahli_bar> | c0nflict: program guide data retrieval is done by xmltv. rest of the operations are done using qt sockets. |
| 10:31 | c0nflict> | pahli_bar maybe I am missing something then |
| 10:31 | * | c0nflict _did_ read the docs |
| 10:31 | pahli_bar> | c0nflict: lemme try and write a simple qt program for u to test |
| 10:31 | c0nflict> | pahli_bar cool |
| 10:31 | pahli_bar> | c0nflict: btw, i'm the author of mythnews |
| 10:32 | c0nflict> | excellent, can't wait to try it with data ;) |
| 10:33 | [hC]> | Anyone have any ideas? |
| 10:33 | [hC]> | I'm using hte mythtv 0.13 debs |
| 10:34 | sfr> | [hC]: it's not working at all? i got this error too, but exiting live-tv and reentering fixed it |
| 10:36 | D-side> | Unknown video codec: open: No such file or directory |
| 10:36 | D-side> | interesting. |
| 10:36 | [hC]> | sfr: well, it kills mythbackend.. i have to reload it by hand. |
| 10:36 | [hC]> | sfr: i didnt try to go into live tv, i jus went straight to the program guide in the record menu |
| 10:36 | [hC]> | I mean maybe its just a mythtv bug.. |
| 10:37 | D-side> | Octane: interesting error. |
| 10:37 | engie> | D-side: sorry! |

| 11:00 | pahli_bar> | c0nflict: its should be in ~/.mythtv/MythNews/ |
| 11:00 | c0nflict> | all 0 files |

| 11:22 | pahli_bar> | c0nflict: ok thats something. |
| 11:22 | pahli_bar> | c0nflict: means ur network is fine. try slashdot |
| 11:22 | c0nflict> | hehe, that is what I am testing |
| 11:22 | c0nflict> | ah |
| 11:23 | pahli_bar> | c0nflict: have a look at the downloaded file |
| 11:23 | c0nflict> | I wget the /. rss and cp it to ~/.mythtv/Mythnews/Slashdot and it works |

| 11:24 | c0nflict> | naw, rh9 rpms from atrpms |
| 11:25 | pahli_bar> | c0nflict: sounds like a network problem inside myth and without too much info, i have to suspect the rpms |
| 11:25 | c0nflict> | you think it is a network problem? |
| 11:25 | billytwowilly> | here's a question: Is it feasible to have mythtv play the livestream while recording the livestream and then switch over to the buffer only if the person hits pause, rewind, etc? would this give faster channel changes? |
| 11:26 | c0nflict> | let me turn squid off, that is the only thing I can think of |
| 11:27 | sfr> | billytwowilly: the frontend _always_ reads from the buffer |
| 11:28 | billytwowilly> | sfr: I know. I'm just curious if it's even possible and if it would theoretically give faster channel change time. |
| 11:29 | pahli_bar> | billytwowilly: that is a problem with all pvr solutions which do buffering. |
| 11:29 | sfr> | billytwowilly: as live-tv always is a few seconds behind on-the-air-tv, after changing channels, these few seconds need to be buffered before streamed to the frontend. with 0.13 i see some speed-up in changing channels (on a pvr350) |
| 11:29 | pahli_bar> | billytwowilly: my workaround: use always browse mode (so only osd changes) and switch if i like something |
| 11:30 | sfr> | billytwowilly: channel-changing now takes around 1-2 seconds for me |
| 11:31 | billytwowilly> | pahli_bar: I know.. I was just curious because some asshat was spouting off about how it was completely unacceptable in the knoppmyth forum. I basically told him to STFU and drop the attitude and to very nicely ask you guys to point him to the code and he can try and modify it for himself. |
| 11:31 | billytwowilly> | But that got me thinking. |
| 11:31 | billytwowilly> | pahli_bar: I use that workaround too. |
| 11:31 | sfr> | noone's forced to use mythtv :) |
| 11:31 | pahli_bar> | billytwowilly: according to myhtpc.net (windows pvr) - channel changing time of upto 10 secs is fine :) |
| 11:31 | billytwowilly> | that's the other thing I said. |
| 11:32 | billytwowilly> | he compared it the MCE and how it's instantaneous on there. |
| 11:32 | sfr> | pahli_bar: *rotfl* seriously? |
| 11:32 | billytwowilly> | So the general consensus is that wouldn't speed things up? |
| 11:36 | pahli_bar> | sfr: http://myhtpc.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=2685&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=15 |
| 11:36 | pahli_bar> | according to some discussions: snapstream - ~= 2.5 seconds |
| 11:38 | pahli_bar> | sfr: ah... here it is: http://myhtpc.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=3407 |
| 11:39 | pahli_bar> | search for: Timeshifting produces quite a lag when changing channels what is that all about? |
| 11:39 | D-side> | hm. |
| 11:39 | [hC]> | anyone here using mythtv to control a satellite box? |
| 11:39 | D-side> | for what its worth, I tried MCE once. |
| 11:39 | [hC]> | Im curious, what happens if i use like.. an IR transmitter to change channels on a box, but the channel it wanted to tune to on the satellite receiver was not available |
| 11:40 | D-side> | what a completely craptacular piece of software. |
| 11:40 | D-side> | [hC]: thats simple. dont have it tune to silly channels. |
| 11:40 | [hC]> | like lets say it lists channel 900 in the guide, but when it ry to tune to 900 on my sat, im not subscribed .. actually i could just exclude it |
| 11:40 | [hC]> | hehehe |
| 11:40 | [hC]> | duh |
| 11:40 | D-side> | right, you'd exclude it. |
| 11:40 | D-side> | pull it out of usage. |
| 11:40 | engie> | [hC]: I use an ir blaster on my cable box, works great |
| 11:41 | D-side> | i think if myth sees an invalid channel listing it ignores it |
| 11:41 | engie> | [hC]: a slightly longer delay because of the blaster prog, but never mind |
| 11:41 | [hC]> | engie: yeah.. cool. thats what im going to have to use, but oh well it should work decently |
| 11:42 | engie> | [hC]: I use http://www.redremote.co.uk/serial/index.html |
| 11:42 | engie> | [hC]: But that's especially made for UK cable boxes I think |

| 11:47 | engie> | I've got a shuttle remote control. It loads as a USB keyboard and mouse (works great under linux). Two questions: First, it has weird windows keyboard control buttons. I can use xmodmap for some, but others are key combinations (alt-enter, for example). Does anyone know how to assign that to a different letter so myth can pick it up? |
| 11:47 | engie> | Also, it has a mouse pad on it. Does anyone know how to tell x to treat "mouse going left" as a left button (direction key) press, etc? This would be much more useful in myth |

Lookning at the docs, 'Hauppage WinTV Go' and 'AverTV Desktop PVR' seem to be the two best... yes? |
| 12:13 | warlord> | I would get the Hauppauge WinTV PVR-x50.. |
| 12:13 | D-side> | the wintv go is a hunk of crap, imo. |
| 12:13 | warlord> | the onboard MPEG encoder really helps. |
| 12:14 | D-side> | and warlord is 100% correct. |
| 12:14 | Shayde> | hee hee :) 2 great opinions :) |
| 12:14 | Shayde> | oh, the 'go' is different than the pvr-x50? |
| 12:14 | D-side> | i know nothing of the avermedia product. |
| 12:14 | D-side> | Shayde: holy God yes. |
| 12:14 | Shayde> | hee *nod* okay |
| 12:14 | D-side> | the go is the budget "i'm a piece of crap but i'm cheap so buy me" model |
| 12:14 | warlord> | Shayde: yes. |
| 12:14 | Shayde> | yah, i'm going ton eed an onboard encoder, since i probably will be running this on a PIII-550 |
| 12:15 | D-side> | where are you that its snowing? |
| 12:15 | Shayde> | boston :) |
| 12:15 | Shayde> | how much is the PVR-x50, roughly? |
| 12:15 | Shayde> | last question - can i do 'remote' viewing? ie, park a pc elsewhere at home, use the tuner / encoded stuff on the pc down here in the office and view it remotely on the tv or on the pc elsewhere? |
| 12:15 | sfr> | sure |
| 12:15 | Shayde> | erm, one more. the PVR-x50 must have a tuner, right? |
| 12:15 | warlord> | of course. |
| 12:16 | Shayde> | i can just jack in the coax cable to it? |
| 12:16 | Shayde> | okay, good |
| 12:16 | Shayde> | sory, i know these are neophyte questions. :( |
| 12:16 | warlord> | Heh |
| 12:17 | warlord> | well, if you can jack the coax into your TV (without a cable box) and tune stations, then you can plug it into your pvr |
| 12:17 | D-side> | hm |
| 12:17 | Shayde> | *nodndnod* i was mostly thinking of physical connections |
| 12:17 | D-side> | would i be an idiot if i spent $150 on a pvr-250 |
| 12:17 | Shayde> | i know about the 'can a standard tuner tune the cable companies connection' issue |

| 12:24 | sfr> | Hah |
| 12:25 | D-side> | i wonder if the quality on one of these cards is better than that of say a pinnacle pctv pro |
| 12:27 | warlord> | I've not compared to a pinnacle.. |
| 12:27 | warlord> | but as I said, the onboard mpeg encoder is REALLY nice. |
| 12:27 | D-side> | absolutely |
| 12:27 | D-side> | but i think what i'm trying to get at is the quality of the tuner or the other inputs. |
| 12:28 | D-side> | i've got a pctv pro and even the composite in is just lacking in quality as compared to say a tivo or replay |
| 12:31 | Shayde> | hmm, (no, haven't left yet, was talking to the roomies :) - could Joe PC handle decoding an mpeg4 stream over the network (particularly wireless)? i'm thinking of how the roomies will access the mythtv box to view stuff - they just need access to the mpg files, right? okay, i just answered my own question. *dopeslaps self* |

| 12:32 | D-side> | b will suck ass. |
| 12:33 | Shayde> | b :( |
| 12:33 | D-side> | and no they wont be able to view the mpegs, unless you get a pvr card. |
| 12:33 | Shayde> | ohh. |
| 12:33 | D-side> | anything software encoded cant be viewed on a "regular" pc |
| 12:33 | Shayde> | doesn't hte hardware encoder generate the same files as the software encoder? |
| 12:34 | sfr> | sure it can, if it's configured as a remote frontend |
| 12:34 | Shayde> | ah... HAH! |
| 12:34 | D-side> | sfr: i'm speaking along the lines of windows boxes. |
| 12:34 | D-side> | Shayde: the roommates run linux? |
| 12:34 | Shayde> | that's mostly what we'll be doing, i think, since most likely the host (tonka) will be my desktop machien sitting here in the office. question, how can the roomies [or myself] view things remotely. |
| 12:35 | Shayde> | one is a MacOSX nut, 2 others running windows, i run a mix. |
| 12:35 | D-side> | then you'll need a pvr card to do it easily. |
| 12:35 | Shayde> | okay. |
| 12:35 | D-side> | you could always transcode them to a viewable format, but that'd take time and cpu. |
| 12:35 | sfr> | Joe PC != Windows always |
| 12:35 | Shayde> | okay. |
| 12:35 | D-side> | and i think you said P3 550 |
| 12:35 | Shayde> | good things to think about. |
| 12:35 | Shayde> | i did. |
| 12:35 | Shayde> | 'tonka' though is an athlon 1400 |
| 12:35 | D-side> | sfr: i disagree wholeheartedly |
| 12:35 | Shayde> | that'll be my test platform. |

| 13:37 | bisc67> | Hello all. |
| 13:37 | bisc67> | I have a noob question for you, why does it take so long to change channel with a PVR-250 card? Does it take more than 2 seconds with other cards? |
| 13:38 | warlord> | yes |
| 13:39 | bisc67> | What can be done about it? |
| 13:39 | warlord> | myth has to buffer enough data to start playing. |
| 13:39 | warlord> | uh, you can learn patience... |
| 13:39 | warlord> | ;) |
| 13:39 | DogBoy> | wow, 2 second eh |
| 13:40 | bisc67> | Well, unfortunately, I've been using the Scientific Atlanta PVR and I've switched to some home grown PVR solution because of this sort of problem with SA boxes. |
| 13:40 | DogBoy> | is it a problem? |
| 13:40 | bisc67> | Yes. 2 seconds to change a channel is a tad long don't you think? |
| 13:40 | ananke> | bisc67 : you mean problem with SA pvrs, right? i use SA cable box, and it has no problems switching channels |
| 13:41 | DogBoy> | if you watch a lot of live tv I could see that maybe |
| 13:41 | DogBoy> | but why watch live tv? |
| 13:41 | bisc67> | Yes, I do. This is to replace my cable box. DogBoy: It's called channel surfing :) |
| 13:41 | warlord> | DogBoy: sports... but then again you're not flipping channels.. |
| 13:41 | warlord> | bisc67: why channel surf with a pvr? |
| 13:41 | DogBoy> | exactly |
| 13:42 | DogBoy> | old habits |
| 13:42 | bisc67> | Oh come on, it's to REPLACE MY CABLE BOX. |
| 13:42 | ananke> | bisc67 : i don't think i will be able to completely replace my SA cable box: digital channels is the main obstacle. |
| 13:42 | DogBoy> | yes... and? |
| 13:42 | bisc67> | Well, I don't want a 2 second channel change. |
| 13:42 | bisc67> | So my next question, How can I assist in reducing this time? |
| 13:42 | ananke> | bisc67 : which SA model do you have? |
| 13:43 | bisc67> | SA: DVR Exploder 8000. |
| 13:43 | DogBoy> | isn't channel surfing a habit that comes out of not having a pvr? |
| 13:43 | warlord> | bisc67: send a patch.. but you'll unlikely find a good way to significantly reduce the input time. |
| 13:43 | bisc67> | Damn thing crashes all the time. |
| 13:43 | sfr> | Chutt: they are discussing channel change times AGAIN. Pleaase make them go away. |
| 13:43 | ananke> | i see. i have sa explorer 3100, and i could have not been happier. of course, it's not a pvr, but as a cable box - it rocks. very fast. |
| 13:43 | bisc67> | ananke: Digital or analog cable? |
| 13:44 | ananke> | bisc67 : both. |
| 13:44 | bisc67> | sfr: So, if everyone discusses it, you can give me the 2 second answer! |
| 13:44 | sfr> | bisc67: Here you go: 42. |
| 13:45 | ananke> | in fact, when i see say directv interface, i feel much better about my cable. the interface is sleek, fast and responsive. i guess it also depends on your provider [i have adelphia cable] |
| 13:45 | bisc67> | The sa box has this bad bug where when you type in a 3 digit channel, then it'll get the first 2 digits, wait a couple of seconds, switch channel, get the last digit and then switch channel again. |
| 13:45 | bisc67> | sfr: Ahhh! that old one. 7x6. |
| 13:45 | ananke> | bisc67 : i suggest you talk to the provider, and instead of the pvr - get any other regular cable box |
| 13:46 | bisc67> | ananke: My point exactly. I don't want the SA PVR any more. |

| 13:46 | ananke> | i think the easiest would be like i said: replace it with your cable provider |
| 13:47 | bisc67> | So, what exactly causes the delay? |

| 13:49 | warlord> | bisc67: have you read anything I've written in the past few minutes??? |
| 13:49 | sfr> | bisc67: you can replace myth live-tv mode with tvtime or xawtv |
| 13:50 | bisc67> | warlord: So what you're telling me is that the delay is caused by buffering 2 seconds worth of data to the hard drive? |
| 13:50 | bisc67> | You only need 1/30 of a second of buffered data before playing. |
| 13:50 | ananke> | i highly doubt hard drive would be used to cache live stream :) |
| 13:51 | warlord> | ananke: then you would be completely wrong. Yes, Myth caches the livetv to the disk. |
| 13:51 | Chutt> | bisc67, come back after you've looked at the source |
| 13:51 | ananke> | warlord : i guess my educated guess was completely wrong. why would you use drive for caching, instead of say ram? |
| 13:52 | warlord> | ananke: RTFS |
| 13:52 | DogBoy> | so you can rewind... |
| 13:53 | ananke> | DogBoy : i see. thanks, at least some mature answer |
| 13:53 | bisc67> | DogBoy: So, in RAM you can only read in one direction? |
| 13:53 | DogBoy> | you're stuck with how much ram you have |
| 13:53 | DogBoy> | that seems obvious |
| 13:54 | Chutt> | there's very little point in being able to pause and seek if you're limited to how much ram you have. |
| 13:54 | bisc67> | DogBoy: It's called streamed buffering. You write the end of your buffer to disk. Or, you write it directly to the disk file and leave it to the filesystem deal with caching. |
| 13:54 | DogBoy> | hehe |
| 13:55 | Chutt> | i'll be quite happy to accept a patch that speeds things up |
| 13:55 | DogBoy> | I got no problem with 2 seconds |
| 13:55 | DogBoy> | channel surfing is for people with short attention span |
| 13:56 | DogBoy> | don't use a pvr |
| 13:56 | bisc67> | DogBoy: What was that you said again? I forgot :) |
| 13:56 | Chutt> | or turn on the 'channel changes enter browse mode' option |
| 13:56 | DogBoy> | hehe |
| 13:56 | sfr> | DogBoy: sorry, what did you talk about again? |
| 13:56 | Chutt> | which, well, works rather well |
| 13:56 | ananke> | is it really that hard to answer questions regarding the design of mythtv? if you're not interested, why even bother to tell somebody to read the source? |
| 13:56 | DogBoy> | cause they get the same questions over and over |
| 13:56 | Chutt> | ananke, because it's pointless |
| 13:57 | Chutt> | why answer questions about the design for someone who has no intention of contributing code? |
| 13:57 | bisc67> | I've gotta go right now, have to put the littlun down for a nap and I'm going to have a look at the source. |
| 13:57 | ananke> | Chutt : and why would you assume so? |
| 13:57 | bisc67> | Chutt: maybe it should be added to the FAQ. |
| 13:57 | ananke> | Chutt : in fact, that kind of attidude causes less people to be interested in contributing |
| 13:57 | Chutt> | because if someone had intentions of contributing, they'd have looked at the source already |
| 13:58 | Chutt> | or asked a _specific_ question |
| 13:58 | Chutt> | or at _least_ searched the mailing list |
| 13:58 | bisc67> | If there is a quick answer, like changing a configuration parameter, then why do I need to look at the source. |
| 13:58 | ananke> | actually, i was considering contributing, but within the week i've been here, i'm loosing that interest |
| 13:58 | Chutt> | great |
| 13:59 | Chutt> | i don't need anymore half assed contributions |
| 13:59 | sfr> | Chutt: thx ;) |
| 13:59 | bisc67> | Ananke: I think is absolutely necessary to contribute because mythtv is the way to go for pvr functionality. It's a great looking product with some frustrating problems. |
| 14:00 | Chutt> | sfr, heh |
| 14:00 | * | DogBoy digs his mythtv |
| 14:00 | ananke> | bisc67 : it is nice, but if the developers don't want contributions, then what's the point |
| 14:00 | bisc67> | Cool thing about open source, is that it *IS* possible to fix the problems. |
| 14:00 | Chutt> | exactly |
| 14:00 | bisc67> | ananke: I'd have a fast pvr! |
| 14:00 | sfr> | bisc67: frustrating problems? |
| 14:01 | Chutt> | i don't want contributions where i have to hold the contributors hand through and end up writing the code for them |
| 14:01 | bisc67> | sfr: Slow channel change, ripping only the first track from a dvd, slow tv view start up. |
| 14:01 | Chutt> | bisc67, it'll rip any title |
| 14:01 | bisc67> | That's odd, I have a dvd with 12 tracks and it would only see 3. |
| 14:02 | warlord> | bisc67: the channel change and "slow startup" are the same problem -- start-time buffering. |
| 14:02 | Chutt> | yup |
| 14:02 | Chutt> | since it starts over on channel change |
| 14:02 | bisc67> | warlord: Well, how do I switch that off? I don't WANT it to stop recording what I was watching. |
| 14:03 | ananke> | Chutt : some questions would be less frequent if they were documented. you assume that everybody starts reading the source code if there is a problem. |
| 14:03 | Chutt> | ananke, because that's how i work |
| 14:03 | warlord> | bisc67: you dont. it's the way it works right now. |
| 14:03 | bisc67> | Sorry, I gotta go for now but I'd really like to see what I can do about this. |
| 14:03 | warlord> | bisc67: go read the source |
| 14:03 | warlord> | ;) |
| 14:04 | bisc67> | warlord: Well, I intend to change that if I can. |
| 14:04 | ananke> | Chutt : i think i'm like most others: i try to read the documentation/mailing lists/faqs before even looking at the code. |
| 14:04 | Chutt> | documentation's generally out of date |
| 14:04 | Chutt> | faqs are too general |
| 14:04 | Chutt> | and the channel changing time has been discussed in great detail on the mailing lists |
| 14:04 | bisc67> | A question like why is the channel change slow is a pretty general question. |
| 14:05 | ananke> | then don't be surprised that people ask these questions here. |
| 14:05 | Chutt> | ananke, are you volunteering to write source level documentation? |
| 14:05 | Chutt> | i don't have time to do that _and_ write code |
| 14:05 | ananke> | Chutt : i'm trying to determine if it's its worth contributing yet or not |
| 14:06 | Chutt> | if you have to think about it, then, no, it's not. |
| 14:06 | ananke> | again, thanks for assuming things for me. |
| 14:06 | bisc67> | Chutt: Well, looks like I may be trying to contribute then. I don't have to think about it. |
| 14:06 | Chutt> | thanks =) |
| 14:08 | warlord> | Chutt: a couple weeks ago I thought someone sent a patch to the list to deal with the avcodecs returning the same frame multiple times and winding up with the same frame buffer on the free list twice.. What happened to that patch? |
| 14:08 | Chutt> | warlord, i don't recall that at all |
| 14:08 | warlord> | Hmm... |
| 14:08 | Chutt> | do you have a link for it? |
| 14:08 | warlord> | I'll go try to look.. |
| 14:09 | warlord> | I think it was with a series of DVB patches. |
| 14:09 | Chutt> | i'm pretty sure i had most things applied that i was going to apply |
| 14:09 | Chutt> | but if it didn't have 'patch' in the subject line, i may have missed it in my recent searches |
| 14:09 | warlord> | well, it's possible you decided not to apply this one ;) |

| 14:33 | Chutt> | debian unstable |
| 14:33 | o_cee> | bisc67: gentoo |
| 14:33 | bisc67> | Mandrake didn't seem to have half the stuff needed to build. |
| 14:34 | Chutt> | well, there's mandrake packages |
| 14:34 | Chutt> | so i'd assume that everything's in there |
| 14:34 | o_cee> | i'll go try to get the 350 working instead.. i'll look into the other stuff later |
| 14:34 | Chutt> | o_cee, the strlist size should be 337 or 338 |
| 14:34 | Chutt> | btw |
| 14:35 | Chutt> | so, i dunno |
| 14:35 | warlord> | Chutt: well, the patch applied mostly cleanly to modern CVS. I'm (slowly) rebuilding and then I'll try it later when I get the chance to install it.. |

This helps to eliminate a black border from showing up around the picture on your TV. Note that overscan is only supported on GeForce4-class (or newer) video cards, but all other options should work for earlier nVidia cards. Obviously, your settings may vary slightly, depending on your card." |

| 16:58 | warlord> | the patch I was testing DID help with my other broken clip.... I was assuming this one was similarly broken, but it could just be completely trashed. |
| 17:00 | Chutt> | the corruption continues through 30MB, at least |
| 17:01 | warlord> | So is the MPEG just completely broken? |
| 17:01 | Chutt> | i think it may be |

| 18:00 | Netslayer> | u can stream away |
| 18:01 | mark> | Netslayer, one of the digital TV PCI cards i mean |
| 18:01 | Netslayer> | auh, ya as long as it's supported, it's just like a regualar capture card |
| 18:01 | Netslayer> | hook up with another myth frontend someone on the network and push play |
| 18:01 | Netslayer> | or hit livetv :-) |
| 18:02 | mark> | okay, cool |
| 18:02 | mark> | is there enough bandwidth on 802.11b to stream over that? |
| 18:03 | Netslayer> | no |
| 18:03 | Netslayer> | well depends what bitrate |
| 18:03 | Netslayer> | i'm doing 54G here with mpeg4 (setting it right now) |
| 18:04 | mark> | and theres enough on that? could always upgrade |
| 18:05 | Netslayer> | well if all your doing is hosting one frontend |
| 18:05 | mark> | yes, the plan is to be able to watch tv on my laptop :) |
| 18:05 | Netslayer> | 54G can push 15Mbps for real, that's about 2MB/s so if u use mpeg4 a good quality is around 3-4Mbytes anything higher is very good |

| 18:23 | [hC]> | yeah im using the frontend on the same box |

| 20:15 | o_cee> | but it looks promising ;) |
| 20:15 | sfr> | and it's up to it's promises? |
| 20:15 | o_cee> | tv pic looked good, the fb pic looked a bit odd.. |
| 20:15 | o_cee> | but that might also be because it needs overscan settings |
| 20:16 | sfr> | fb picture == the GUI? |
| 20:16 | o_cee> | yeah |
| 20:16 | o_cee> | and osd |

| 22:34 | mikegrb> | SuperID: I have two suggestings |
| 22:34 | mikegrb> | SuperID: read the error message on the console |
| 22:34 | mikegrb> | SuperID: read the docs |
| 22:35 | SuperID> | yes, done that |
| 22:35 | SuperID> | console reports "unknown codec"..... |
| 22:36 | SuperID> | but thats why I'm stumped because everyone, even the docs I think say that if xawtv runs fine mythtv "should" run ok too |
| 22:37 | Netslayer> | need some help, i'm working on two computers here with same everything pretty much. One has an AGP Geforce4mx440, the other a PCI. Same XF86Config, but the PCI computer gives this error in the logs while trying to startx (screen goes blank) "(WW) NVIDIA(0): Failed to verify AGP usage" any ideas? do I have to set something special for PCI? |
| 22:41 | mikegrb> | Chutt: if you catch this on scroll back I have myth/web/theme goodness for you |
| 22:41 | mikegrb> | Chutt: everything but the comments section is done |
| 22:41 | mikegrb> | s/section/display/ |
| 22:45 | SuperID> | ok a more specific question then. In the docs (http://www.mythtv.org/docs/mythtv-HOWTO-3.html#ss3.1) under vid cap device it mentions that newer cards use the cx88 driver, but then also says that you need the bttv driver too....is that true? I thougth it was one or the other |
| 22:45 | SuperID> | my card is cx88 |

| 23:49 | Netslayer> | i can't figure this out my PCI Geforce 4 mx440 with NV drivers just kills the screen at startx. I've checked the xf86config log but the last entry is "(II) NVIDIA(0): Setting mode "1024x768,1024x768"", everything before this looks normal, and the next output should be "Using the NVIDIA 2D acceleration" as I have another comp setup when i compare the logs. ?? |
