| 10:05 | <stuarta> | :) |
| 10:05 | <stuarta> | might take a while. |
| 10:06 | <gbee> | eww, why does mythtranscode want a profile number instead of a user friendly name |
| 10:08 | <gbee> | not that long, it was an 8 second sample :) |
| 10:10 | <gbee> | hey, this ain't bad - uses less space as mpeg4 than h.264, transcoding has probably deleted some datastreams which would account for that |
| 10:14 | <gbee> | 19Mb as h.264, 12Mb as Mpeg4 |
| 10:14 | <gbee> | 7Mb of data in 8 seconds of footage? that can't be right |
| 10:14 | |-| | atoulan [n=atoulan@196.218.200.202] has joined #mythtv |
| 10:15 | <stuarta> | i'd use ffmpeg to do the transcode |
| 10:15 | <stuarta> | that way you'll have full control over the bitrate etc. |
| 10:15 | <gbee> | mythtranscode worked well enough using an existing mpeg4 profile I'd setup |
| 10:16 | <gbee> | doesn't actually need to be a high quality bitrate since it's being downscaled to 1280x720 |
| 10:17 | <gbee> | the screenshots look just as good as they did against the original copy (when I was able to play it) |
| 10:19 | <stuarta> | nice :) |
| 10:22 | <gbee> | left is taken against the original, right against the transcoded version - http://miffteevee.co.uk/themes/metallurgy.html#OSDHD |
| 10:26 | <gbee> | just trying the same transcode profile on a 1.7Gb h264 sample |

| 11:15 | <jk1joel> | so do most devs keep a stable setup for daily use and a svn setup for development and testing? or do most run the svn code "in production"? |

| 11:24 | <jk1joel> | bendailey: how often does your wife complain about something breaking from one build to the next? |
| 11:25 | <GreyFoxx> | jk1joel: I think most do run svn all the time |
| 11:25 | <GreyFoxx> | I update mine weekly for the most part unless something specific goes in I want to try |
| 11:26 | <bendailey> | jk1joel: I taught her how to press up on the keyboard and then enter which reruns the startx command fixing most of the crashes she sees |
| 11:26 | <bendailey> | jk1joel: I have about 1 major complaint every month or two |
| 11:27 | <jk1joel> | crashes are one thing... what about shows not recording, or a feature being broken? |
| 11:27 | <GreyFoxx> | jk1joel: It's down to this. Nothing is guaranteed |
| 11:27 | <GreyFoxx> | neither in a release or SVN |
| 11:28 | <GreyFoxx> | but developers use svn, so buggs are likely to get fixed faster |
| 11:28 | <bendailey> | jk1joel: I have to agree with GreyFoxx YMMV but I have only had 3 or so shows not record |
| 11:29 | <GreyFoxx> | And I've had none that weren't my fault |
| 11:29 | <bendailey> | I should clarify mine have only been because of hard drive fillup and not code problems |
| 11:30 | <jk1joel> | yeah, I get it, I'm just wondering how "stable" svn is, doing frequent updates. I think I'll stick with stable for my main setup and make a test setup for svn. Of course, once I notice some new feature that I can't live without in svn, that may all change. :) |
| 11:31 | <GreyFoxx> | svn tends to be very stable |
| 11:31 | <GreyFoxx> | just gets shaky when big merges happen but those settle out within days |
| 11:31 | <GreyFoxx> | just read the -dev list and -commits and you should be ok |
| 11:32 | <jk1joel> | so if I have a patch, should I just post it to the -dev list? or is there a better place for such things? |
| 11:32 | <GreyFoxx> | post patches to trac |

| 11:59 | <justinh> | jk1joel: longest I've ran svn for was over a couple of days at LRL this year. didn't see any trouble at all |

| 12:01 | <gbee> | I've not lost a recording in recent memory, I've also not seen a crash in a long time, svn tends to be stable, but you've got to watch the commits list and avoid upgrading immediately after a major change e.g. ffmpeg resync |
| 12:01 | |-| | cyberpas2 [n=dns@63.101.55.52] has joined #MYTHTV |
| 12:01 | <justinh> | basically I think if you follow the recommendations about running SVN you'll be fine |
| 12:02 | <justinh> | when livetv was disabled for the rework, that caused a furore I seem to remember. I just laughed |
| 12:02 | <gbee> | without wanting to give the wrong impression, IMHO SVN is more stable and reliable than -fixes |
| 12:04 | <gbee> | you've just got to be prepared to update twice in a day if something does get broken in a commit, which happens from time to time (usually fixed pretty fast) |
| 12:04 | <justinh> | not that -fixes is in any way unreliable here |
| 12:04 | <justinh> | I really only ever upgrade when I want new features |
| 12:05 | <gbee> | no, fixes isn't unreliable, just that many bug fixes simply haven't made it back to -fixes from trunk |
| 12:05 | <justinh> | from my own PoV there's no feature I'm after other than multirec, but even then I can live without it |
| 12:05 | <justinh> | and that's not even in trunk yet :) |
| 12:07 | <jk1joel> | on trac, what's the difference between an enhancement and a patch? If my patch is for a proposed enhancement, which should I choose? |
| 12:07 | <justinh> | gbee: btw you planning on doing anything festive for your theme? I'm toying with an idea |
| 12:08 | <justinh> | jk1joel: a patch is just a patch. any changes to the code need to have patches attached to a ticket to be valid ;) |
| 12:08 | <justinh> | so I'd pick 'enhancement' |
| 12:09 | <jk1joel> | thanks |
| 12:15 | <gbee> | justinh: I thought I might, depends if I can come up with anything that looks good - last time I tried to make a website festive the results weren't great |

| 13:51 | <justinh> | there should be a dir called animation. all the pngs go in there |
| 13:51 | <gbee> | no, that's right, just wasn't sure |
| 13:52 | <gbee> | I assume the animation stuff is already in the xml? |
| 13:52 | <justinh> | yeah. the base.xml should be there too |
| 13:53 | <gbee> | ahh, yeah missed that |
| 13:53 | <gbee> | looks ok, maybe a little fast |
| 13:53 | <justinh> | heh |
| 13:54 | <gbee> | I can see it becoming distracting :) |
| 13:54 | <gbee> | a little smaller too?, but I like the idea |
| 13:55 | <justinh> | any slower and it shows up how rushed it was ;) |
| 13:55 | <gbee> | hehe |
| 13:55 | [~] | gbee starts to feel seasick |
| 13:56 | <justinh> | I'll do some maths & see if making the horizton chrome line highlight would be efficient with padding in to make it less of a distraction |
| 13:56 | <justinh> | one thing it highlights here is that other stuff is stopping it |
| 13:56 | <gbee> | damn, looks like we had the same idea for the programme guide icon |
| 13:56 | <justinh> | makes it jerky from time to time |
| 13:57 | <justinh> | the flipbook stuff isn't really suitable for this kind of thing.. I'm still convinced of that |
| 13:57 | <justinh> | you don't notice it on mepo |
| 13:58 | <gbee> | the animation I did uses alpha |
| 13:58 | <justinh> | I'll never be struck on alphapulse |
| 13:58 | <gbee> | justinh: runs smoothly here |
| 13:59 | <gbee> | got a decent effect with the alpha, by using it to fade in/out a tinted layer I created a flashing backlighted button |
| 14:00 | <hendrixski> | Has anybody checked out this heliocreek thing? They're doing a "friendly fork" of mythtv for some commercial thing. |
| 14:00 | <gbee> | backlighted? backlit |
| 14:00 | [~] | hendrixski isn't sure that forks are "friendly" per se |
| 14:01 | <gbee> | hendrixski: a few people took a look, they weren't impressed with the quality of the code |
| 14:02 | <hendrixski> | gbee, oh |
| 14:02 | <hendrixski> | so then it's probably like a bunch of high school kids in Egypt or somethign? |
| 14:03 | <gbee> | hendrixski: they were cutting a lot of corners instead of doing thing properly, e.g. using lots of "sudo myscript.pl" and "sudo rm file" |
| 14:03 | <hendrixski> | yikes |
| 14:03 | <hendrixski> | well, companies do that when prototyping I guess |
| 14:04 | <hendrixski> | "throw one away, you will anyhow" sort of thing |

| 14:05 | <hendrixski> | Did they at least have any good ideas (other than arabic keyboard support?) |
| 14:05 | <gbee> | I'd hope if they were just prototyping, that they wouldn't commit that code to a repository - if you do that then you are just as likely to forget it's there or decide that you can't be bothered to do it properly |
| 14:06 | <gbee> | hendrixski: that's as much as I can say, I've not looked at it myself, I'm not even interested in having a look |
| 14:06 | <hendrixski> | lol |
| 14:07 | <hendrixski> | do a lot of those kinds of things pop up? Where people branch mythtv like that? |
| 14:08 | [~] | hendrixski downloads the code to see what they were up to |
| 14:10 | <gbee> | hendrixski: not really, can only think of one another 'branch' - the one used by LinuxMCE |
| 14:11 | <hendrixski> | oh right, I remember hearing about them.... there was a lot of hype and then I never heard of it again |
| 14:11 | <janneg> | hendrixski: they submitted the arabac keyboard layout and support for right to left languages also as patches |
| 14:12 | <hendrixski> | hhhmmm... the heliocreek guys didn't take their code from SVN... they took it off of Ubuntu ... their Sourceforge SVN still has the debian/ directory, with the same patches |
| 14:12 | <gbee> | hendrixski: lots of people are impressed by linuxmce, but it's all style and no substance IMHO (style is stretching it a little) |
| 14:12 | <janneg> | couple of them are already merged |
| 14:12 | <hendrixski> | janneg, right, that's where I first read about them on the mailing lists |
| 14:12 | <janneg> | assuming both are the same |
| 14:12 | <gbee> | they are |
| 14:12 | <gbee> | some of their stuff is good - the bits they've submitted |

| 14:38 | <hendrixski> | well... I'm torn about what to do here.... some people are saying "bad code" but from what I've seen so far, it looks like great documentation |
| 14:39 | <hendrixski> | guess I gotta make a chroot and compile it to find out :-p |
| 14:43 | <justinh> | gbee: so I guess I've totally missed the point about alphapulse then.. it's not restricted to just static images? i.e. you can use it on buttons? |
| 14:44 | <justinh> | er.. I mean insofar as areas which are already in mythui |
| 14:45 | <gbee> | just restricted to imagetypes, have you got metallurgy installed? I can send you my example - though it would work with any theme I guess |
| 14:46 | <justinh> | not got a box with a recent trunk at the mo |
| 14:46 | <gbee> | could be used on menu buttons when I think about it, would just be a small change |
| 14:47 | <jams> | justinh- autoscreenshots of the settings screen is complete |
| 14:47 | <gbee> | justinh: I'll send you the images and the base.xml part, you can stick that in glass and see for yourself |
| 14:47 | <justinh> | nah I've just checked on a monitor (as opposed to over freenx) and the animation is still jumping on my athlon 2000xp.. though I don't use opengl |
| 14:47 | <justinh> | jams: wicked! |
| 14:48 | <justinh> | jams: how many shots in total then, for all the screens? |
| 14:48 | <jams> | let you know in five minutes when the current run is done. |
| 14:49 | <gnome42> | I've been debugging some pseudo recording corner case bugs and came across some buglets in that area. I've created three little patches at http://zeke.yi.org/mythtv/patches/recgroup Two good fixes and one minor cleanup. |

| 14:50 | <gbee> | just stick that section in any base.xml and put the images in the theme directory |
| 14:51 | <justinh> | doh it must only work when opengl is enabled |
| 14:51 | <gbee> | ahh, yeah ... |
| 14:51 | <gbee> | :( |
| 14:53 | <justinh> | ugh those transitions look arse |

| 14:57 | <justinh> | I like the alphapulse in that context, but I can't see myself using it |
| 14:57 | <MrGandalf> | Can someone tell me what arguments I should use for running mythfrontend under valgrind? |
| 14:57 | <jams> | according to my map, it should be 23 menu screens. |
| 14:58 | <justinh> | jams: and only mythweather & zoneminder missing? |
| 14:58 | <jams> | yeah |
| 14:58 | <justinh> | wonder where the heck I got over 150 from |
| 14:58 | <jams> | don't know |
| 14:59 | <justinh> | so long since I did that. was going to make a shot of every single screen for the wiki at one point |
| 15:00 | <justinh> | maybe I lost my place a few times & just bumped the number up to the nearest 10 |
| 15:00 | <justinh> | well time to get rid of the animation dir & revert base.xml |
| 15:01 | <gnome42> | MrGandalf: http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/mythtv/dev/300776#300776 |
| 15:01 | <MrGandalf> | thanks |
| 15:01 | <gnome42> | sure |
| 15:01 | <justinh> | what I want to do will just be a complete waste of memory FWIW |
| 15:01 | <jams> | justinh- my numbers don't include things like that are not part of the menu, like the program guide in action, or the playback window |
| 15:01 | <justinh> | jams: ahhh |
| 15:02 | <justinh> | I was taking into account all the screens |
| 15:02 | <jams> | right |
| 15:02 | <justinh> | like, 9 or whatever for mytharchive etc |
| 15:02 | <gbee> | there is a bug with alphapulse, at least it looks like a bug - set the max to anything exept 255 and it doesn't work |
| 15:02 | <jams> | so far it's pure menu and settings screen. I'm not going to fully walk the plugins only selected parts. |
| 15:02 | <justinh> | jams: that's fair enough :) |
| 15:03 | <jams> | i think just having the settings screen as a handy reference will help a bit. |
| 15:03 | <justinh> | it'll help a lot |
| 15:03 | <jams> | i know my menumap has helped be quite a bit with the project |
| 15:04 | <justinh> | even seasoned users. I was wracking my brain trying to remember how to en/disable browse mode last night. turned up in playback settings of all places |
| 15:04 | <gbee> | anyway, thinking about using that effect (at a faster speed) with the alert scroller idea I had |
| 15:04 | <MrGandalf> | hmm, same thing. Seems mythfrontend doesn't like valgrind. |

| 15:06 | <justinh> | gbee: I love the scroller idea. still yet to be convinced about alphapulse |
| 15:08 | <gbee> | justinh: I think it's just waiting for someone to come up with a very clever idea |
| 15:09 | <justinh> | once it's possible to make the alphapulse part a layer underneath another thing, then I might be interested ;) |
| 15:09 | <Chutt> | alphapulse works on any ui item, including groups as a whole. |
| 15:10 | <gbee> | just doesn't work on one image underneath another |
| 15:10 | <Chutt> | it should be passing the modified alpha value down to its children |
| 15:11 | <gbee> | but yes, I'd forgotten that alphapulse is part of uitype and not the uiimagetype, so it applies to all items |
| 15:11 | <justinh> | maybe I'll play with it some more |
| 15:12 | <justinh> | wonder where I left the tarball of my playing with the appearance gadget I started.. |
| 15:13 | <jams> | hey Chutt given any thought to the url or hosting request for mythsmolt? |
| 15:13 | <Chutt> | er |

| 15:14 | <justinh> | looks like I might have to invent a cute animated character after all :D |
| 15:46 | <gnome42> | Chutt: Hi! I wanted to confirm something with you before I go off in the wrong direction. Re: pseudoLiveTVRecording behaviour |
| 15:47 | <clever_> | can myth fetch the shows title thru EIT while recording?(to verify its on the right channel) |
| 15:48 | <stuarta> | MrGandalf: the frontend is a real bugger to valgrind |
| 15:48 | <stuarta> | if it's at all possible.. |
| 15:48 | <stuarta> | clever_: vaguely possible |
| 15:48 | <MrGandalf> | I can manage to change channels 2 or 3 times before it really boggs down |
| 15:48 | <gnome42> | Chutt: Here's the scenario: user is watching livetv. Someone schedules that particular recording to record via mythweb. |
| 15:49 | <clever_> | stuarta: how would i get myth to dump its eit data to stderr while recording? |
| 15:49 | <MrGandalf> | but the bug I'm trying to find doesn't appear while under valgrind |
| 15:49 | <clever_> | so i could see what it gets exactly |
| 15:49 | <stuarta> | clever_: however the same can be achieved by checking the PAT & PMT |
| 15:49 | <stuarta> | which we already do |
| 15:50 | <clever_> | stuarta: which probly cant be done thru a external tuner and ir blaster |
| 15:50 | <stuarta> | clever_: nope. you need access to the raw stream |
| 15:50 | <gnome42> | Chutt: what is the correct behaviour: 1. take over that existing livetv recording OR 2. start a fresh recording of that show on that recorder. ? |
| 15:50 | <MrGandalf> | stuarta: have you seen frontend instability while tuning to h264 channels? |
| 15:50 | <clever_> | stuarta: when i feed the composite out of the cable box(same as what i feed myth) into the TV i can get some general info like the show name by hitting the display button |
| 15:51 | <stuarta> | MrGandalf: i no longer have any h264 channels, but it used to have a bit more trouble locking onto them than the normal channels |
| 15:51 | <clever_> | stuarta: so something on the composite line contains the show name |
| 15:51 | <stuarta> | clever_: that'll be VBI data or equivalent |
| 15:51 | <gnome42> | Chutt: I'm going with option 2. but I wanted to confirm :) |
| 15:51 | <stuarta> | VBI != EIT |
| 15:51 | <clever_> | stuarta: ahh, then how do i get myth to show its vbi stream? |
| 15:52 | <stuarta> | that i couldn't tell you. you'll have to dig around in the source |
| 15:52 | <clever_> | k |
| 15:52 | <clever_> | i think it may also have -v vbi |
| 15:52 | <Chutt> | gnome42, err, it should do the same thing as if someone hit 'r' during the live-tv recording. |
| 15:52 | <stuarta> | clever_: that would probably help :) |
| 15:53 | <clever_> | also since i fixed vbi(it used to not work at all) ive been getting vbi erorrs randomly |
| 15:53 | <clever_> | i think they are near the splice point between 2 bits of video and the cable co cut a vbi 'sentence' in half |
| 15:53 | [~] | stuarta <- is good at EIT |
| 15:53 | <stuarta> | what the vbi errors? |
| 15:54 | <gnome42> | Chutt: ok, cool. that was my thought too. It's not always doing that (at least in multirec). Thanks again :) |
| 15:54 | <clever_> | 2007-11-26 12:30:43.813 NVR(/dev/video0) Error: Reading VBI data |
| 15:54 | <clever_> | eno: Input/output error (5) |
| 15:54 | <clever_> | allmost allways 4 of those at once |
| 15:54 | <clever_> | also once i was watching a comercial which was made up of clips from many diff shows |
| 15:54 | <clever_> | and the closed captioning of the original video bleeded thru into the comercial:P |
| 15:54 | <stuarta> | well in that case a vbi error should be expected |
| 15:55 | <clever_> | yeah |
| 15:55 | <stuarta> | since you are causing a discontinuity in the VBI stream |
| 15:55 | <clever_> | yep |
| 15:55 | <clever_> | and its actualy the cable co doing it not me |
| 15:55 | <stuarta> | naff all you can do about that then |
| 15:55 | <stuarta> | hang on. |
| 15:55 | <clever_> | i could sue the company to stop causing errors:P |
| 15:55 | <stuarta> | i thought you were splicing |
| 15:56 | <clever_> | its the splicing at the cable comppany |
| 15:56 | <clever_> | switching between show and comercial |
| 15:56 | <stuarta> | ah.. |
| 15:56 | <clever_> | and some comercials are made of 30 diff clips from shows with bits of the VBI intact |
| 15:56 | <stuarta> | the localization of commerials in the stream. |

| 16:23 | <kormoc> | you could always just have it core dump and then load the core in gdb later |

| 16:47 | <gbee> | the audio bitrate can be increased though |

| 17:03 | <stuarta> | the thing on the dish the wires connect to |
| 17:04 | <justinh> | clever_: you can't. satellite signals are way too high a frequency for satellite tuners which is why the LNB (low noise block) downconverts em |
| 17:04 | <clever_> | the wire comming down the outside wall has been cut |

| 17:05 | <justinh> | clever_: 1 quid == $2 US approx right now |

| 17:06 | <clever_> | ive got a scope that i could hook up to the line hanging down from the roof |

| 17:08 | <justinh> | clever_: aye |
| 17:08 | [~] | stuarta prescribes clever_ some bedtime reading |
| 17:08 | <clever_> | so i could just put the voltage on the line and use a cap to filter the signal out |

| 17:08 | <clever_> | ive ran several normal phones off a pile of 9v baterys before |
| 17:08 | <justinh> | you need an LC filter |

| 17:10 | <clever_> | ive taken the 'horn' part of a dish appart in the past and theres a board inside it(posibly where the LNB is) |
| 17:10 | [~] | justinh gives up |
| 17:10 | <clever_> | the casing seems to be designed as a wave guide |
| 17:10 | <stuarta> | start with that link and do some reading. it's quite an extensive topic |
| 17:10 | <clever_> | yeah the 2nd paragraph just confirmed what i just guessed:P |
| 17:11 | <clever_> | 'An LNB sits on the end of an arm and faces the parabolic reflector' |
| 17:11 | <clever_> | ive allways called the LNB the horn on the disk |
| 17:12 | <clever_> | yeah id say i still have the LNB part:) |
| 17:14 | <stuarta> | in 2 pieces |
| 17:15 | <clever_> | i think its a single output one but that doesnt realy matter if i only want to use 1 myth box on it |
| 17:17 | <stuarta> | but the polarization characteristics are important too |
| 17:17 | <stuarta> | it's quite often circular, in N.America. |
| 17:17 | <clever_> | id think the limits of the current LNB match the sat its pointed at |
| 17:17 | <stuarta> | plus dishnet is odd |
| 17:17 | <stuarta> | huh |
| 17:17 | <clever_> | aslong as i dont reaim it it should work fine(assuming the hardware at my end of the coax is fine) |
| 17:18 | <clever_> | the polarization characteristics that the LNB can do are probly the same ones needed by the sat its pointing at |
| 17:18 | <stuarta> | yup |
| 17:19 | <clever_> | would it be posible to power up the LNB and listen for its signal from a normal scope without buying any special hardware? |

| 19:03 | <jk1joel> | yeah, I'm fine with a hard-coded one or a DB-only setting... just so I don't have to constantly patch the code :) |
| 19:04 | <gbee> | others might not agree but personally I'd like to see a reduction in settings where possible |
| 19:04 | <hads> | I think it makes sense, and have DB-only settings for power users to make customising easy. |
| 19:04 | <jk1joel> | sure, I agree. I didn't know there was a way to do a DB-only settings in the config framework |

| 19:05 | <gbee> | the setup and configuration of mythtv is consistantly what we get bad press about, I'm inclined to agree with the complaints |
| 19:06 | <gbee> | DB only settings are fine |
| 19:06 | <jk1joel> | so shall I re-work it as a DB-only setting and update the ticket? |
| 19:06 | <gbee> | jk1joel: please |

| 19:07 | <gbee> | think it's time I went to bed, before my typing becomes even more erratic |
| 19:07 | <jk1joel> | thanks all for the feedback |

| 19:12 | <mzb> | Hi all, I think I've found a bug in mythburn.py ... anyone interested? |
| 19:13 | <mzb> | (see #mythtv-users) |
| 19:18 | <mzb> | line should be (afaict): |
| 19:18 | <mzb> | write("The frame rate for %s should be %s but the stream info file " |
| 19:18 | <mzb> | "report a fps of %s" % (videomode, fr, fps)) |
| 19:19 | <mzb> | (videomode param is missing) |
