04:24 | Misirlou> | juju: Which codecs were you thinking about? |
04:25 | juju> | divx |
04:25 | shamoun> | juju, divx is not good for real time encoding |
04:25 | juju> | I mostly use the 'vcr' program, which uses the avifile lib, which supports divx |
04:26 | shamoun> | but for conversion, libav and xvid both provide superior quality, and they are both mpeg4 |
04:26 | juju> | I see. |

12:29 | sfr> | crib2: yeah |
12:30 | crib2> | cool... thanks for the help yesterday. i was able to correct the picture's vsync and hsync by using v4lctl setnorm NTSC |
12:31 | sfr> | great, and setting myth to NTSC doesn't work? odd. |
12:31 | crib2> | if you had not told me i never would have found it |
12:31 | crib2> | i believe i set myth to NTSC during the .setup or thereafter |
12:31 | crib2> | is there somewhere i can verify that setting? |
12:31 | crib2> | using v4lctl setnorm NTSC is flaky |
12:32 | crib2> | i sometimes have to call it more than once...i don't see a pattern yet. the test recordings i made from myth last night are still messed up |
12:33 | crib2> | but viewing is ok. |
12:33 | crib2> | i need to figure out how to declare it globally. actually before i asked your help yesterday i spent some time looking through the myth menus to find where to set NTSC but i couldn't find it. |
12:33 | sfr> | crib2: my setup is broken right now, but it's set with the setup progr. iirc. just find where it's being set and verify it is set to NTSC, that's all. |
12:34 | crib2> | what is an iirc? |
12:34 | crib2> | Oh wait.. |
12:34 | crib2> | it means as far as i know or something |
12:34 | sfr> | ...remember, yes |
12:35 | crib2> | do you know what file the setup program generates? |
12:35 | crib2> | so i can look at it directly? |
12:35 | sfr> | all setting are stored in the db |
12:36 | crib2> | oh, f that, i know no sql |
12:36 | crib2> | i'll just re-run it |
12:36 | crib2> | thx |
12:36 | crib2> | actually one more question though... |
12:36 | crib2> | can i put something like |
12:37 | + | [iago] [don@cluefone.com] joined #mythtv |
12:37 | crib2> | well v4lctl is not a module. basically how can i run v4lctl setnorm ntsc at startup or put setnorm NTSC in a config file for v4l or something? |
12:38 | sfr> | hm, you might be able to abuse the external channel-changing script option. |
12:38 | + | bishop [~bishop@adsl-65-43-111-206.dsl.chcgil.ameritech.net] joined #mythtv |
12:38 | crib2> | over my head...no worries |
12:39 | sfr> | it's meant to change channels on external tuners like satellite tuners using a script that sends the needed IR commands |
12:40 | crib2> | so what's wrong with your box |
12:40 | [iago]> | can anyone comment on the quality of the mythtv gentoo port? |
12:41 | sfr> | i upgraded to cvs without updating the setup programm on my master backend |
12:41 | crib2> | iago-the mythtv install docs suggest it is fine |
12:41 | crib2> | iago-but i run gentoo and i built from the tarball |
12:41 | crib2> | iago-so i would understand the underlying componentry |
12:42 | [iago]> | crib2: thanks, i'm rebuilding my home server (hopefully turn it into a myth box) and am planning on dumping debian |

14:16 | crib2> | I'm sure it will. Wealth of knowledge here. |
14:17 | crib2> | It looks like the problem just cropped up in .13. If all else fails, maybe I roll back to .12 |
14:19 | Rroet> | yes.. |
14:19 | Rroet> | but don't forget to remove the database |
14:19 | Rroet> | there have been db changes from mythtv 12 to 13 |
14:19 | crib2> | shit thanks, I would not have known to do that. |
14:20 | Rroet> | they haven't released .13 twice ;) it contained a small db error ;) |

14:27 | ShockValue> | hi everyone |
14:28 | ShockValue> | ive gotten myth up and running.. I am able to listen to my music via the SPDIF output on my soundcard |
14:28 | ShockValue> | i can also watch dvd |
14:28 | ShockValue> | with the SPDIF output.. but I can't get 5.1 sound. |
14:28 | ShockValue> | all the dvd's play with 2 channel |
14:29 | ShockValue> | i've checked the "AC3 passthrough" in myth, as well as added "-ac hwac3" line to mplayer.. but still 2 channel only |
14:29 | ShockValue> | any suggestions? |
14:29 | sfr> | ShockValue: myth doesn't play dvd's. it uses the player you told it to use, so we can't really help you. |
14:29 | ShockValue> | hrm |
14:30 | sfr> | the AC3 is for digital tv afaik. |
14:30 | ShockValue> | ah i see |
14:30 | ShockValue> | are you familiar with the mplayer command switches? all the forums ive read suggest tht -ac hwac3 should do it, but its not workin for me |
14:31 | sfr> | ShockValue: try to get 5.1 sound working with your fav. player and then use mythdvd to be sure myth really isn't messing it up. |
14:32 | ShockValue> | ok, ill mess around with mplayer some more.. supposedly it can do it. |
14:32 | Rroet> | I can't get mythtv to use more then 4 speakers here. |
14:32 | Rroet> | but that seems to be my alsa driver issue |
14:32 | ShockValue> | well, 4 is 2 more than wht i got :) |
14:32 | Rroet> | *big grin* |
14:33 | Rroet> | at least you have a stutter free image.. |
14:33 | Rroet> | that's what I'm still fighting about. |
14:33 | ShockValue> | i havent tried TV yet (dont have my card), but DVD playback is (visually) very good |

15:16 | Rroet> | little question. |
15:16 | Rroet> | where did the metadata.sql from mythmusic/mythvideo go to ? |
15:16 | sfr> | Rroet: db updates are handled automatically look for dbcheck.cpp files |
15:17 | Rroet> | sfr ? |
15:17 | Rroet> | so I just start mythfrontend and open video ? |
15:17 | Rroet> | and then it's done ? |
15:18 | Rroet> | because I can't open mythvideo in mythweb yet. .. it says things are missing in the database. |
15:18 | Rroet> | tables .. |
15:18 | sfr> | might be not all plugins are converted to do it automatically. let me check... |
15:19 | sfr> | mythvideo does it autom. so starting mythfrontend should suffice. but run mythvideo once to be sure. |
15:19 | Rroet> | mythvideo does not exist |
15:20 | sfr> | so compile/install it |
15:20 | Rroet> | ahh.. it worked |
15:20 | Rroet> | I compiled mythvideo , but it does not give me a binary called mythvideo |
15:20 | sfr> | because all plugins are built as shared libraries |
15:20 | Rroet> | now updating for mythmusic.. thnkx. |
15:21 | sfr> | Rroet: you run latest cvs? |
15:23 | Rroet> | nope. |

22:53 | Chutt> | something like /usr/lib/qt3/plugins/imageformats/ |
22:53 | Chutt> | all of my channel icon images are .jpg |
22:53 | Chutt> | oh, except 1 |
22:53 | Teflon> | i dont even get all of mine :( |
22:53 | Teflon> | does that one show? |
22:53 | Chutt> | heh |
22:53 | Chutt> | i don't know what channel it's for =) |
22:54 | Teflon> | select * from channel where icon like '%???%' :) |
22:54 | Teflon> | slinky:/usr/local/qt/plugins/imageformats# ls |
22:54 | Teflon> | libqjpeg.so libqmng.so |
22:54 | Teflon> | so jpeg and mng? interesting. |
22:54 | = | hfb [~hfb@adsl-63-201-200-77.dsl.lsan03.pacbell.net] quit ("Client exiting") |
22:54 | Teflon> | maybe i should rebuild qt |
22:54 | billytwowilly> | I wish Sony or someone would pickup mythtv for use in their PVR product. instant manpower boost. |
22:54 | josephk> | lol |
22:54 | Teflon> | and politics and they'll aim it at a specific piece of hardware. |
22:55 | Chutt> | it does |
22:55 | billytwowilly> | Chutt: If you want to work for apple, here's your chance: https://jobs.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/Employment.woa/wa/jobDescription?RequisitionID=2075781 |
22:55 | Chutt> | show up, that is |
22:55 | + | hfb [~hfb@adsl-63-201-200-77.dsl.lsan03.pacbell.net] joined #mythtv |
22:55 | Chutt> | but i don't have an image plugin for gif |
22:55 | Chutt> | hmm |
22:55 | Chutt> | maybe that's not a good test |
22:55 | Chutt> | teflon, anyway, what it's doing is falling back to trying to request images from the backend |
22:55 | Chutt> | is this a remote frontend? |
22:56 | Teflon> | local. |
22:56 | Chutt> | on the master? |
22:56 | Teflon> | yep |
22:56 | Chutt> | hmmm |
22:56 | Chutt> | i can fix it |
22:56 | Teflon> | convert em to jpg at download time? |
22:56 | Chutt> | naw |
22:57 | Teflon> | when i get around to uncommenting the channels update code in mythfrontend (when i make a flag to not update the icons ever, i'll submit the option as a patch |
22:57 | Chutt> | don't try to load from the master if it's local |
22:57 | Teflon> | that probably makes sense for a general purpose speed fix. |
22:57 | Chutt> | it might make sense to check the extension is valid |
22:58 | Chutt> | ah, could you do something for me? |
22:58 | Teflon> | sure |
22:59 | Chutt> | in programs/mythfrontend/main.cpp |
23:00 | Teflon> | yep, got it open |
23:00 | Chutt> | line 788 or so, before it starts running the menu |
23:00 | Teflon> | see it |
23:00 | Chutt> | cout << QImage::inputFormatList().join(" ") << endl; |
23:00 | Chutt> | should make it print out the valid image formats on start up |
23:00 | Chutt> | just curious to see what you have |
23:01 | Teflon> | building |
23:02 | Teflon> | BMP JPEG MNG PBM PGM PNG PPM XBM XPM |
23:02 | Chutt> | ok, cool, so that'd work too |
23:02 | Chutt> | i'll fix it to not fallback to the master if it's local, and to cull out any unsupported image formats |
23:02 | Chutt> | BMP GIF JPEG MNG PBM PGM PNG PPM XBM XPM |
23:03 | Chutt> | is mine, just for your comparison |
23:03 | Teflon> | (and if mythfilldatabase detects an unsupported format, use imagemagick, if present, to convert it to jpeg?) |
23:03 | Teflon> | wonder why i didn't get gif support ... wonder what i didn't have installed when i built qt |
23:03 | Chutt> | i won't go that far, but if someone else were to |
23:03 | Teflon> | i might, but i doubt it, a bit busy at the moment |
23:03 | Teflon> | the most i suspect i'll get done is the hack to mythfilldatabase to never modify my icons |
23:04 | Chutt> | heh |
23:04 | Teflon> | since zap2it is incomplete... |
23:04 | Teflon> | and sometimes even wrong |
23:12 | tmk> | sup chutt |
23:13 | Teflon> | i'm annoting him with trivial bugs |
23:13 | Chutt> | tmk, yo |
23:13 | Chutt> | naw, it's not trivial |
23:13 | Teflon> | minor? |
23:13 | tmk> | new ivtv out today |
23:13 | Teflon> | tmk: stable? |
23:13 | Chutt> | tmk, haven't had a chance to test it |
23:13 | Teflon> | or will it piss my wife off? |
23:14 | Chutt> | been working on my basement all day |
23:14 | Teflon> | damn purplegalaxy theme is broken. |
23:14 | tmk> | no biggie |
23:14 | tmk> | working on setting up a remote frontend in the basement perchance? |
23:14 | Teflon> | Error parsing: /usr/local/share/mythtv/themes/PurpleGalaxy/ui.xml |
23:14 | Teflon> | at line: 601 column: 17 |
23:14 | Teflon> | tag mismatch |
23:14 | Chutt> | teflon, yeah, i told the author about that |
23:14 | Chutt> | it's the spanish and catalan translations |
23:15 | Chutt> | tmk, working on setting up walls and stuff in the basement :p |
23:15 | tmk> | :) |
23:15 | Teflon> | i need a house |
23:15 | tmk> | i was just hoping you'd start using a remote setup again so the code would catch up :P |
23:15 | Teflon> | lol |
23:15 | Chutt> | tmk, hrm? |
23:16 | Chutt> | remote stuff should work fine |
23:16 | Chutt> | bruce tests all that |
23:16 | tmk> | it crashes frequently on me (master backend does at least) |
23:16 | Chutt> | huh |
23:16 | tmk> | and i don't think it's ever told the slave backend to record |
23:16 | Chutt> | might be a config problem |
23:16 | tmk> | i'm a week or two back on cvs though |
23:16 | tmk> | could be |
23:16 | Chutt> | or they aren't in sync with each other |
23:16 | tmk> | it knows about the remote backend |
23:17 | tmk> | i guess i'll read the mailing list a bit or something |
23:17 | tmk> | generally only crashes when i reboot my remote box without shutting myth down nicely |
23:17 | Chutt> | see, thing is, i'm down to two machines |
23:17 | tmk> | crashes when it reconnects |
23:17 | Teflon> | Chutt, ouch. |
23:17 | Chutt> | myth box in the living room |
23:17 | Chutt> | and my dev box |
23:17 | tmk> | hey me too :) |
23:17 | mdz> | Chutt: hardware failures, or repurposing? |
23:18 | Teflon> | i think its time to have a fundraiser for chutt |
23:18 | tmk> | i bet his wife got tired of being surrounded by computers |
23:18 | Chutt> | hardware failures, and i didn't replace things since i didn't really need them |
23:18 | Chutt> | like, one was a test frontend and an irc machine |
23:18 | Chutt> | whoopdy-do |
23:18 | Chutt> | that's 6 or 7 bucks a month off my electricity bill, and more space in my office =) |
23:19 | Teflon> | heh |
23:19 | Teflon> | i could probably turn my freebsd box into a frontend but then i'd have no bsd at home. |
23:19 | DogBoy> | what's a home without some bsd |
23:20 | Teflon> | DogBoy, a bsd-less home? |
23:20 | Teflon> | i can always get my bsd fix at work. 60-odd FreeBSD machines |
23:21 | Teflon> | hmmm ... maybe that dead laptop.. if i can convince X or XV to completely negate (invert) all colors somehow its useful again... or if i just hook up a monitor. but i dont think K6-2/333 is fast enough to play an mpeg-2 |
23:24 | Chutt> | is curtis wood in here? |
23:25 | Chutt> | i'll take that as a no |
23:25 | Chutt> | <sigh> |
23:26 | Teflon> | my LCD panel currently reads "Not Recording" and "63% Free" and then the next recording coming up. wheee. |
23:26 | Teflon> | lcdproc is neat. |
23:26 | Teflon> | and easy. |
23:26 | kvandivo> | so who's not yet ready for christmas? |
23:26 | Teflon> | me! |
23:27 | kvandivo> | i've spent the entire day wrapping presents |
23:27 | Teflon> | i cant wait to open my epson 2200 printer. |
23:27 | Teflon> | i did that yesterday. |
23:27 | rkulagow> | i'm pretty sure that comcast's "upgrade" to 3Mbps here in chicago has totally fucked my internet connection. packet loss, dns weirdness, failure to connect to google, etc. |
23:27 | Teflon> | i'm not sure where i'm going to put the printer on my desk though. |
23:27 | Teflon> | rkulagow, call and complain? |
23:27 | Chutt> | i spent half the day trying to clean up the rats nest in my breaker box |
23:28 | Teflon> | ouch. |
23:28 | kvandivo> | you running a router, rk? and, if so, are you running the latest firmware? |
23:28 | rkulagow> | yeah, i'll do that. |
23:28 | Chutt> | i want my speakeasy speed upgrade, but nooo, not until march |
23:28 | kvandivo> | been there, done that, with the breaker thing.. i'm glad to be done with the major required hoursework for a while |
23:28 | Teflon> | shit, i do have a router. forgot to put the 2nd nic into the freebsd box and make it my gateway. next weekend i guess. |
23:29 | Teflon> | and i forgot to look into the latest dvdauthor package |
23:29 | kvandivo> | i remember a while back, i started getting ssh connections being dropped all of the sudden.. come to find out, the cable company had changed _something_ and I needed a firmware upgrade on my router to make them talk nice to each other |
23:30 | Teflon> | kvandivo, is your router your cablemodem? |
23:30 | kvandivo> | na.. i've got a linksys box sitting after the cablemodem |
23:30 | Teflon> | i have a USR box, still hasn't ever had a firmware upgrade released |
23:30 | Teflon> | wish it had SNMP though |
23:30 | Teflon> | i can't MRTG my usage without it. |
23:31 | Teflon> | not unless i throw in a hub, and that would suck. |
23:31 | rkulagow> | well, it's hard to check for updated firmware when you can't get a reliable connection... |
23:31 | * | kvandivo grins evily. |
23:31 | kvandivo> | pesky little details |
23:31 | Chutt> | heh |
23:32 | Teflon> | i better go pay attention to my wife. |
23:32 | kvandivo> | sounds rough |
23:32 | Teflon> | fixing the pvr still doesn't make up for the loss of 100gb of recordings. |
23:33 | rkulagow> | i've called at&t tech support/comcast. "unplug your cable modem. is your computer connected directly to the modem? turn off any firewall software. no, we don't support hardware routers. linux? what's that?" |
23:35 | Chutt> | "Hi, I can't ping your gateway" "Here's what I want you to do. Go to start, then click on run. Type in 'command' then hit enter. Now type in 'p' 'i' 'n' 'g'." |
23:35 | Chutt> | ah, that was a fun call |
23:35 | kvandivo> | i've learned it is better to just make them think they are giving you useful instructions |
23:36 | kvandivo> | lot less explaining that way |
23:36 | Chutt> | speakeasy told me that the reason i wasn't getting email the other day was because my mailing list server wasn't set up properly |
23:36 | kvandivo> | ? |
23:36 | Chutt> | regardless of the fact that telnetting to mx01.speakeasy.net / 25 timed out |
23:36 | kvandivo> | apples and oranges come to mind |
23:37 | rkulagow> | "i'm not getting a DHCP address from your server." "we don't support DHCP". "uh, sure you do. that's how you give out addresses to computers." "sir, i'm not sure what you're talking about."... |
23:37 | Chutt> | well, i told him that my mail server logs were full of connection timed out errors to speakeasy |
23:37 | Chutt> | bad choice, since the guy zeroed in on that =) |
23:37 | kvandivo> | you supposed to be getting 3 megabit up and down, or just down, or what, rk? |
23:38 | Chutt> | it's like 3 down, 256 up |
23:38 | kvandivo> | that would rock to have that up.. but i'm guessing you mean down |
23:38 | kvandivo> | i get 128 up, and i've seen _up to_ about 5-7 megabit down.. i'm usually at about 2-3 down, however |
23:38 | rkulagow> | i read that comcast was going to go to 3Mbps down and leave the up-rate the same. chicago was supposed to switch on the 15th or so. based on when xmltv began to fail and how many days of data i have left, they did the cutover on the 15th. |
23:39 | mdz> | isn't there a bit higher level interface to LIRC than what curtis wood's patch does? |
23:39 | Teflon> | Chutt, whats speakeasy? lists? |
23:39 | Chutt> | mdz, that wouldn't matter if he did it in an external program and kept that shit out of channelbase.cpp |
23:39 | Chutt> | teflon, isp |
23:39 | Teflon> | ah |
23:39 | mdz> | it would still be a mess; isn't this what liblircclient is for? |
23:39 | Chutt> | probably |
23:39 | Chutt> | see |
23:39 | Teflon> | odd name for an isp. |
23:39 | mdz> | when I get my box back together, I'm going to do serial to the dct2000 |
23:40 | Chutt> | i was all nice and didn't say 'i can't possibly use this patch because the code sucks' |
23:40 | Chutt> | i commented on what needed to be fixed |
23:40 | mdz> | and I"m going to write a 10-line python program to replace the 1000-line C program in there right now |
23:40 | rkulagow> | i've got to translate technical crap into something the phone monkeys can understand. "i can't get to hotmail." |
23:40 | Chutt> | and he comes back 'you're not understanding me!@#!' |
23:40 | rkulagow> | chutt: obviously you're in the holiday mood. |
23:40 | Chutt> | heh |
23:41 | Teflon> | i was amazed when i called my cable company for support and they knew the answer, had my file up already, and didn't take 30 mins of hold time (immediate answer). |
23:42 | Chutt> | heh |
23:42 | Chutt> | gant pulls ahead in the download race |
23:42 | rkulagow> | i'm glad dave alden found my thinko in the mythfilldatabase status stuff. i had setup for debugging to see what i'd done wrong, and of course xmltv hasn't been working. |
23:42 | rkulagow> | (for me) |
23:43 | Chutt> | heh |
23:43 | mdz> | the 0.13 debs have seen a few hundred downloads now, and I have only gotten one "IT'S BROKEN" email, and that guy had mistyped the line in sources.list |
23:43 | mdz> | so I assume they're working fine |
23:43 | mdz> | or else all of the problematic users went back to building from source while I was away |
23:43 | Chutt> | bma's problems were just pebkac? =) |
23:44 | mdz> | I have no idea what he was smoking |
23:44 | rkulagow> | chutt: docs sync please? |
23:44 | Chutt> | rkulagow, sure |
23:44 | rkulagow> | thanks. night all. |
23:44 | Chutt> | g'nite |
23:46 | Chutt> | docs updated, they'll get recached soonish |
23:48 | mdz> | Chutt: has the plugin API changed at all since it was implemented? or would any plugin still work? |
23:49 | Chutt> | need to be recompiled |
23:49 | Chutt> | i don't recall any major changes |
23:49 | Chutt> | why? |
23:51 | mdz> | because I just noticed that the plugin packages depend on mythtv-frontend (>= 0.11-1) |
23:51 | mdz> | because I hadn't bumped that when I released the 0.13 packages |
23:51 | Chutt> | ah |
23:51 | mdz> | so I wondered if it would actually be broken |
23:51 | Chutt> | no, that won't work |
23:51 | Chutt> | libmyth's changed quite a bit |
23:52 | mdz> | I guess you would need versioned symbols for it to work |
23:52 | mdz> | then the plugin and myth would each have their own libmyth |
23:52 | Chutt> | yeah |
23:52 | mdz> | just packaged up mythnews; seems pretty simple |
23:53 | Chutt> | yup |
23:53 | mdz> | doesn't seem to work though |
23:53 | Chutt> | heh |
23:53 | mdz> | displays a two-sided dialog with no text in it |
23:53 | Chutt> | really? |
23:53 | Chutt> | hmm |
23:53 | mdz> | and says "Ready" |
23:53 | Chutt> | go to setup |
23:53 | mdz> | MythNews: Error in loading Sites from DB |
23:53 | Chutt> | need to select some rss feeds |
23:53 | mdz> | ah |
23:54 | mdz> | wow |
23:54 | mdz> | 3 pages of settings |
23:54 | Chutt> | need a better error message on screen for that |
23:54 | Chutt> | yeah, it's getting cumbersome |
23:55 | mdz> | hmm, the mythnews settings dialog seems to be done weird |
23:55 | mdz> | not as a wizard |
23:56 | mdz> | huh, now it fails in an entirely different way |
23:56 | Chutt> | what'd it do? |
23:56 | mdz> | MythNews: NewsEngine: failed to set content from xmlfile |
23:57 | mdz> | apparently this means that QDomDocument::setContent failed |
23:57 | Chutt> | heh |
23:57 | Chutt> | couldn't parse something |
23:57 | mdz> | where does it put these files? |
23:57 | mdz> | ah, ~/.mythtv |
23:57 | mdz> | heh |
23:57 | mdz> | the document is a 302 |
23:57 | Chutt> | doesn't handle it? |
23:57 | mdz> | 301 actually |
23:58 | mdz> | apparently not |
23:58 | Chutt> | the mythnews author's nick is pahli_bar |
23:58 | mdz> | mizar:[...news/mythnews-0.13/mythnews] cat ~/.mythtv/MythNews/Linux\ Weekly\ News |
