| 04:52 | <stuarta> | gbee: at this rate i may have to bump justinh's theme to try metallurgy on the mini mac :) |
| 04:54 | <gbee> | I learnt from the master ;) |
| 04:54 | <stuarta> | i quite like dark themes... |
| 04:55 | [~] | Tanthrix basks in the pleasant light blue glow of MythCenter-wide |
| 04:55 | <Tanthrix> | Without a nice bright them, I'd have to keep a light on in the evenings! ;) |
| 04:56 | <stuarta> | i find the contrast between like and dark too offensive. |
| 04:56 | <stuarta> | if the lights are off, blue is tooooo bright. |
| 04:58 | <Tanthrix> | The gf and I fell asleep in the early evening the other day, and when I woke up the nearest source of light to me was my TV remote, so I turned it on. Neither of our eyes will be the same again. |
| 05:02 | <stuarta> | see, now you understand my problem |
| 05:03 | <justinh> | I wouldn't mine mythcenter-wide so much if it was spelled correctly |
| 05:03 | <justinh> | *mind |
| 05:04 | <laga> | fork it? |
| 05:04 | <justinh> | if you like dark, try glass-wide with a plain black background |
| 05:04 | <justinh> | I alos hate its icons and the menu button |
| 05:05 | <justinh> | well, not hate.. just don't like it :) |
| 05:05 | <justinh> | laga: anyway I couldn't fork any theme since my license terms aren't GPL compatible |
| 05:09 | <gbee> | I _really_ pleased with the OSD, don't think I'd change anything on it |
| 05:10 | <gbee> | rest of the theme I'm not so sure, but other people seem to like it so ... |
| 05:10 | <justinh> | glass' OSD needs some attention |
| 05:11 | <gbee> | it's been a really useful experience |
| 05:11 | <gbee> | there are still 2/3 code changes I want to make for the theme to work as intended |
| 05:17 | <justinh> | was that recent text alignment commit for listareas ? I can't remember |
| 05:18 | [~] | justinh looks |
| 05:19 | <justinh> | ah was only for listbtntype |
| 05:19 | <justinh> | I'd like to change listarea so it can be justified too |
| 05:20 | <justinh> | tried to make the recordingoptions list centre justified but it wasn't having it |

| 05:41 | <gbee> | something a little too boring about the video manager, you've got labels for everything even when it doesn't really need a label |
| 05:42 | <justinh> | glass-wide hasn't anymore :) |
| 05:42 | <justinh> | as soon as I realised they weren't compulsory, a lot of em went |
| 05:42 | <gbee> | it could take a leaf from the program info format used elsewhere in mythtv, e.g. don't label stuff and allow things like the year to be tagged onto the end of the title etc |
| 05:43 | <gbee> | justinh: I'm getting rid of some too |

| 05:45 | <gbee> | just wish I could do things like sticking the year in brackets |
| 05:47 | <justinh> | easy.. (ready for the sarcasm).. just make a leftbracket textarea and a rightbracket textarea... |
| 05:47 | <gbee> | hehe |
| 05:48 | <gbee> | the runtime, certification and year could easily be compounded into one textarea and take up a fraction of the space |
| 05:48 | <justinh> | actually that reminds me of the priorities screen. man that's a pain to theme |
| 05:49 | <stuarta> | the thing i'd implement if i had a clue how would be the scrolling text areas. |

| 05:52 | <atoulan> | hi everyone, I would like to know if there is an icon view control. From uitypes.h I see that there is a listview (UIListType) but no iconview |
| 05:53 | <justinh> | ? |

| 06:04 | <gbee> | uittypes is deprecated anyway |
| 06:05 | <gbee> | I'd stick in the gcc deprecated keyword, but I suppose people would complain about all the compile time warnings spoiling their view :( |
| 06:07 | <hads|home> | gbee: In Metallurgy alpha 6 the clock seems to overflow it's container. I've just switched TV sets and can't remember if I noticed it before. |
| 06:08 | <gbee> | hads|home: thanks, guess I need to increase the size of that then |
| 06:08 | <gbee> | fits perfectly at 16:9, but not so well at 4:3 |
| 06:09 | <hads|home> | This is on 1360x768 |
| 06:09 | <hads|home> | The date container is plenty big enough. |
| 06:09 | <stuarta> | that's an odd resolution |
| 06:10 | <hads|home> | It's what this set said it wanted in the manual. A Sony LCD |
| 06:12 | <gbee> | hmm, ok maybe I screwed up the container size changes when I was tweaking last night |
| 06:14 | <justinh> | stuarta: pretty common res for a panel, that |
| 06:14 | <gbee> | think you can get a screenshot? |
| 06:15 | <stuarta> | k |
| 06:15 | <gbee> | the container is identical in size to the background image, so if the image is large enough to contain the clock, but it appears to overflow then there is something wrong with the scaling |

| 06:17 | <gbee> | I've known all along that the font scaling doesn't work well, I was seeing this issue with 4:3 resolutions on a widescreen theme |

| 06:36 | <stuarta> | you mean you don't use 24hr time. wow! |
| 06:37 | <hads|home> | heh, I normally do on everything actually, just haven't bothered to change the setting. |
| 06:49 | <mzb> | is mytharchive dev around? (paulh?) |
| 06:49 | <justinh> | never seen him on IRC. maybe he has a life |
| 06:49 | <stuarta> | he's here more often than danielk |
| 06:50 | <mzb> | stuarta: thanks |
| 06:50 | <stuarta> | np |
| 06:51 | <mzb> | I have a lot of problems with mytharchive, and I'd like to start giving feedback + patches to the person that counts |
| 06:51 | <laga> | mzb: you'd make many people happy with that :) |
| 06:51 | <mzb> | do I have to stay up to 3am (my time) for that to happen? |
| 06:51 | <mzb> | I've submitted a tiny bugfix so far |
| 06:51 | <stuarta> | he works sporadically, so stick em in trac and he'll get around to them |
| 06:52 | <mzb> | I've burned a couple of autoplay dvd's that I'm happy with |
| 06:52 | <mzb> | BUT |
| 06:52 | <mzb> | I've just tried a compilation DVD, and although I admire the attempt ... it needs a lot more work |
| 06:52 | <stuarta> | that is an understatement |
| 06:52 | <mzb> | I'd like to help to improve |
| 06:52 | <mzb> | and |
| 06:53 | <stuarta> | the porn music used as an intro has to go |
| 06:53 | [~] | justinh laughs |
| 06:53 | <mzb> | add some parts of some things from dvd-baker |
| 06:53 | <mzb> | inc: random |
| 06:53 | <justinh> | stuarta: all production music sucks. it has to by definition |
| 06:53 | <stuarta> | well we've succeeded there then |
| 06:54 | <mzb> | I think the music, and the intro are all well and good, but completely unnecessary |
| 06:54 | <justinh> | they don't have to be there. you can make your own menu themes |
| 06:54 | <stuarta> | that's why i created that simple - autoplay theme |
| 06:54 | <justinh> | er.. disc themes |
| 06:55 | <stuarta> | no menus, no intros, just the movie + chapter marks |
| 06:55 | <mzb> | justinh: there is no way to turn off the into (or the menu music) from the gui |
| 06:55 | <stuarta> | now that would be a nice patch. |
| 06:55 | <justinh> | that's what the disc themes are for aren't they? |
| 06:55 | <stuarta> | </hint hint> |
| 06:56 | <mzb> | only further identifies mythtv as a possible target for copyright infringement (NO, I'm not getting into that ... please just accept the point and move on!) |
| 06:56 | <stuarta> | i know what you mean |
| 06:56 | <justinh> | aye I can see that |
| 06:56 | <mzb> | now ... I do have some (what I think is interesting) code for mytharchive |
| 06:57 | <mzb> | 1. random play of titles |
| 06:57 | <justinh> | so er.. make the resulting discs suck as bad as what those standalone recorders produce ;) |
| 06:57 | <mzb> | (determined by the player) |
| 06:57 | <gbee> | sure something could be done to improve the UI, last time I used it there seemed to be too many steps for one |
| 06:58 | <mzb> | 2. having an options menu, to change language, autoplay, random, etc |
| 06:58 | [~] | justinh resists the temptation to start on about that again |
| 06:58 | <gbee> | when I tried it with menu images, the quality was horrible |
| 06:58 | <mzb> | if you'd like to see what I've done already please take a look at dvd-baker |
| 06:58 | <gbee> | managled the images completely |
| 06:58 | <mzb> | the mytharchive gui is a separate issue |
| 06:59 | <justinh> | I've always thought myself lucky if it got past mythtranscode on my dvb recordings |
| 06:59 | <mzb> | (to what I'm attempting to talk about) |
| 06:59 | <justinh> | mzb: I get it. you're talking about its output |
| 06:59 | <mzb> | justinh: thanks |
| 06:59 | <mzb> | the gui can be worked out later |
| 07:00 | <gbee> | Paul does some fantastic work, I just don't always agree with the way he does the UI parts |
| 07:00 | <mzb> | (in that *other* channel ;)) |
| 07:00 | <mzb> | well ... you can see why I'm not interested in the gui section :) |
| 07:00 | <mzb> | the guts of it need some help |
| 07:00 | <justinh> | it's not so much hard to use, just a bit long-winded |
| 07:00 | <mzb> | I can't say I can fix it ... but I can certainly add some experience to it |
| 07:01 | <gbee> | mzb: sure, probably best to start there |
| 07:01 | <mzb> | so, rather than wasting my time with gui-related issues (no offence justinh), I'd prefer to talk with the MA dev |
| 07:02 | <mzb> | (or contributors) |
| 07:02 | <mzb> | NOT about the GUI ! |
| 07:02 | <gbee> | right now there are maybe three plugins that could be rolled into mythtv IMHO, the others are all lacking in quality which is a shame, but something I'd like to address |
| 07:02 | <gbee> | mzb: best to email him direct then |
| 07:03 | <mzb> | hmm |
| 07:03 | <justinh> | aye there are some where it doesn't matter how much you try to theme them they still look the same |
| 07:03 | <mzb> | mytharchive seems to have had a lot of work done on it ... shame to let it die from starvation |
| 07:04 | <gbee> | mzb: I'd agree, I think mytharchive is a valuable plugin, it just needs work |
| 07:05 | <mzb> | ok, hopefully danielk is either a logreader or somebody will let him know |
| 07:05 | <gbee> | mzb: you want paul and he never comes in here |
| 07:05 | <mzb> | hmm |
| 07:05 | <mzb> | ok |
| 07:05 | <gbee> | danielk is never in here either, but he's never worked on MythArchive |
| 07:06 | <mzb> | fair enough, thanks for the info |
| 07:06 | <justinh> | tickets never fail to get folks' attention (assuming they get assigned them) |
| 07:06 | <mzb> | that raises the barrier a little ... I'll start attempting comms when I've got more than "interest" to communicate |
| 07:07 | <mzb> | I've already submitted one re: a small syntax error |
| 07:07 | <justinh> | some people don't like IRC. Can't say I blame em one bit |
| 07:07 | <mzb> | I can understand that ... however, as I have committed to other online duties, I don't have much choice |
| 07:08 | <gbee> | personally I don't like the way MythArchive uses so many scripts to do what it does, but that's just an aesthetic objection, I prefer better integrated code e.g. using libraries rather than calling external applications |
| 07:08 | <mzb> | I can't comment much on that |
| 07:09 | <stuarta> | plus i uses python. ugh. |
| 07:09 | <stuarta> | it |
| 07:09 | <mzb> | my major objections include some of the basic logic, and the dvdauthor.xml is not fully compliant in some situations |
| 07:09 | <stuarta> | can't hurt to fix that |
| 07:10 | <mzb> | yes ... python is a new thing for me ... but I'll learn ... despite my age ;) |
| 07:10 | <justinh> | so it's not perfect :) probably has more users than er.. say mythphone |
| 07:10 | <mzb> | I'd also like to see a better range|combination of "profiles" |
| 07:11 | <mzb> | justinh: as I said ... I can see a lot of effort has gone into it ... it needs more contributors .. I'm putting my hand up |
| 07:11 | <justinh> | that's cool |
| 07:12 | <justinh> | can you make it not take 2 hours to make a one hour dvd? :D |
| 07:12 | <mzb> | I have had experience writing dvd-related apps, and if you've had a look at the features of dvd-baker, you'll see that I can suggest a few improvements at veru low cost |
| 07:12 | <mzb> | justinh: no |
| 07:13 | <mzb> | my 1st multi-video dvd took ... err ... 10hrs? (guess) |
| 07:13 | <mzb> | (previously transcoded recordings) |
| 07:14 | <justinh> | hate to think how long it takes for people who record in non-mpeg2 non-standard resolutions |
| 07:14 | <mzb> | looks like a usable DVD ... despite my inability to navigate the menu ;) (another compatibility problem) |
| 07:15 | <mzb> | justinh: I have been one of those "file squirrels" you've referred to previously ;) |
| 07:15 | <gbee> | oh yeah, the way it re-transcodes recordings even when they don't need to be bothers me |
| 07:15 | <laga> | kmediafactory uses projectx for DVB recordings. since there's already a script to wrap projectx into something mythtranscode-compliant, is there any chance of integrating that into mytharchivE? |
| 07:15 | <mzb> | I tried a DVD of 8 Stargate episodes |
| 07:15 | <justinh> | gbee: needs to redo DVB recordings to get rid of the guff in the streams though |
| 07:16 | <gbee> | justinh: I'm talking about already transcoded stuff |
| 07:16 | <justinh> | laga: mytharchive uses mythtranscode |
| 07:16 | <mzb> | gbee: I'm quite happy with a sanitisation run ... and tbh, the time it takes is not important, it's the "compliance" of the result that I'm looking for |
| 07:16 | <gbee> | I've usually transcoded anything I want to put on DVD to remove the adverts, so it doesn't really need transcoding for a second time |
| 07:16 | <laga> | justinh: yes, but it would be possible to make it use projectx as well.. |
| 07:16 | <justinh> | another dependency? |
| 07:16 | <justinh> | great |
| 07:16 | <gbee> | mzb: ok, guess that's something I'll fix myself |
| 07:17 | <mzb> | ie. dvd compliance |
| 07:17 | <mzb> | which it is not atm |
| 07:17 | <justinh> | projectx needs Sun java IIRC, not just 'any old Java (tm); |
| 07:17 | <mzb> | the time it takes to produce the result is secondary |
| 07:18 | <mzb> | I'm talking about the actual structure of mytharchive, and it's resultant dvdauthor.xml |
| 07:18 | <mzb> | not the gui, not how long it takes ... etc |
| 07:18 | <mzb> | ONLY the creation logic, and the dvd programme logic |
| 07:19 | <mzb> | both of which seem flawed to me |
| 07:19 | <gbee> | mzb: yeah I get it, I'm just throwing out some general gripes I have about mytharchive in the hope that someone will fix them (doesn't have to be you and will probably be me once I've finished a thousand other jobs) |
| 07:19 | <justinh> | AFAIK mytharchive was mostly born out of mythburn so maybe it inherited that stuff from there |
| 07:20 | <mzb> | gbee: ok ... I get it ... it's just adding fuel to the rest of the trolls trying to derail the point of the exercise! |
| 07:20 | <mzb> | ;) |
| 07:20 | <justinh> | btw who do I pay to keep mythpython unofficial? |
| 07:20 | <mzb> | Santa? |
| 07:21 | <justinh> | mzb: "rest of the trolls" ?! |
| 07:21 | <mzb> | :)) |
| 07:21 | <mzb> | want some trout to bite on :))))) |
| 07:21 | <justinh> | now who's being derogatory? |
| 07:21 | <mzb> | gee ... did you think my comment was directed at you? |
| 07:22 | <justinh> | well you obviously thought somebody was trying to derail the point of the exercise |
| 07:22 | <mzb> | yeah ... well ... that seems to happen a lot with myth-related things |
| 07:24 | <gbee> | justinh, tried my best with the video manager, not really too impressed with it though: http://miffteevee.co.uk/imagebin/metallurgy_videomanager.png |
| 07:24 | <mzb> | I guess if you're going to bite you're admitting that you're a troll ... take it as you will |
| 07:24 | <justinh> | mzb: you're an asshole |
| 07:24 | <mzb> | thankyou |
| 07:25 | <justinh> | gbee: looks fine to me, as good as the list view ever gets |
| 07:26 | <mzb> | justinh: hopefully your insecurity will diminish when you achieve your mac mini |
| 07:26 | <mzb> | time to go back to work ... rather than blabbing |
| 07:26 | <justinh> | mzb: no insecurity. you made a blatant comment, not even slightly veiled |
| 07:26 | <gbee> | "as good as it gets" sums it up, I don't use mythvideo so I'm not really sure that all that information is really necessary, it would be prettier if I could mimic the watch recordings screen and also put cover art in there |

| 08:51 | <gbee> | a few months ago, while messing around with ffmpeg I transcoded the mythtv promo vid to flashvideo, just found it again and started to think that maybe it should be on the mythtv website somewhere |
| 08:52 | <justinh> | that promo wasn't really intended for massive exposure |
| 08:53 | <laga> | heh |
| 08:53 | <laga> | "we made a promotional video. but we won't let anyone see it" |
| 08:56 | <justinh> | what I'm saying is that I don't think it's suited to that. I'd make another rather than use that |
| 08:57 | <justinh> | the ones I've made up to now were a bit rushed, too detailed in some places & not enough detail in others. needs better planning.. or even .. _planning_ ! |

| 10:13 | <justinh> | I called the whole thing off instead :) |
| 10:13 | <stuarta> | i'm still reading :) |
| 10:16 | <justinh> | it'd have to be discussed with actual developers not just people standing on soap boxes to be a worthwhile exercise I think |
| 10:16 | <gbee> | wonder how many themes I'd break if I made each plugins images install to a subfolder of the default theme, instead of sticking them all in the root there |
| 10:17 | <justinh> | all of them? |
| 10:17 | <stuarta> | given you aren't on that list it's a bit impractical |
| 10:17 | <justinh> | actually not many core themes I dont think gbee |
| 10:17 | <justinh> | 3rd party themers might get a smidge pissed though |
| 10:17 | <gbee> | probably not, since they all use the default images |
| 10:18 | <justinh> | filename things are easy to fix |
| 10:18 | <gbee> | I just don't want to clutter my themes root directory with dozens of hardcoded images |
| 10:18 | <justinh> | gbee: so why not just put them in a shared/ dir or something? |
| 10:19 | <justinh> | or put images for plugins in their own subdir in your theme dir |
| 10:19 | <gbee> | justinh: you can't move things like mv_gallery_dir_up.png because they are defined in the code, not in the theme |
| 10:19 | <justinh> | ah |
| 10:19 | <justinh> | doh forgot about those |
| 10:20 | <gbee> | or the checkbox images etc used in various places |
| 10:20 | <justinh> | maybe just go the whole hog & have em specified in the theme ? |
| 10:20 | <justinh> | the checkboxes are so I don't see why the folder images can't be too |
| 10:20 | <gbee> | when we move to mythui, sure, too much work for nothing before then |
| 10:21 | <gbee> | yeah, you are right about the checkboxes, dunno why I thought they were hardcoded |
| 10:22 | <justinh> | gbee: in the big scheme of things I think maybe just leave it all as it is. I can't see any point having different ones for mythgallery & mythvideo anyway - certainly not in the case of the gallery view images |
| 10:23 | <gbee> | neither can I ... you're right, I'll leave it alone for now and then change it as part of the mythui port - that's going to be a good excuse to clean up a lot of things |

| 10:31 | <stuarta> | ew |
| 10:32 | <justinh> | oh yeah |
| 10:32 | <gbee> | it uses the image you define as the background to scale the dialogue, instead of just using the container dimensions - so you need a custom image just to make it work |

| 11:04 | <MrGandalf> | damn, second backend crash this week.. MythSocket::writeStringList(), gotta love it. |
| 11:05 | <GreyFoxx> | I had that happen last night |
| 11:05 | <GreyFoxx> | the backend was still running and recording, even logged my frontend connection attempts, but I'd get that error on the frontend until I restarted the backend |
| 11:05 | <MrGandalf> | It by far accounts for more crashes on the backend (on my system, anyway) than anything else |
| 11:06 | <GreyFoxx> | ahhh, It hasn't caused me a crash so far, just the backend stopps replying to frontend connections |
| 11:06 | <GreyFoxx> | I've had it happen 3 times in the last couple months |
| 11:07 | <MrGandalf> | I get that on occasion. But to be honest, I can't remember the last time |
| 11:08 | <MrGandalf> | I think that happens a lot when a frontend looses connection with the backend. The backend still thinks that frontend is connected until you kill it. |
| 11:08 | <GreyFoxx> | Each time for me it's been right after several rappid starts/stops of the mythtv command from the commandline or starts/stops of the slave machine |
| 11:09 | <MrGandalf> | I've often thought that Myth could do well with a protocol rewrite. Something like the FTP protocol with responses to all commands and everything starts with a numeric code. |
| 11:10 | <GreyFoxx> | or a control channel and a data channel |
| 11:10 | <GreyFoxx> | make that "and" |
| 11:10 | <GreyFoxx> | I like numeric responses :) |
| 11:10 | <MrGandalf> | yes, that would help as well |
| 11:11 | <MrGandalf> | I wrote an app in Qt that uses a protocol like that. I rarely have any communications issues. |

| 13:06 | <gnome42> | GreyFoxx: It is a small optimization. It tries to service RingBuffer Seek() requests from the readahead buffer if possible. |
| 13:07 | <GreyFoxx> | ahhh |
| 13:07 | <gnome42> | Currently we dispose of the entire readahead buffer on Seek() requests. |

| 13:10 | <gnome42> | It doesn't make any difference in the normal playback case. However, if you are watching your show frame by frame in reverse its a big win! :)) |

| 13:11 | <MrGandalf> | I would suggest defining CHUNK as something much smaller. I have mine set to 4096 |
| 13:12 | <gnome42> | MrGandalf: Why would you want to do that? |
| 13:12 | <MrGandalf> | Also, in the threaded file writer, set TFW_MIN_WRITE_SIZE = TFW_DEF_BUF_SIZE / 128 instead of 32 |
| 13:12 | <MrGandalf> | low bandwidth channels benefit extremely from that |
| 13:13 | <MrGandalf> | the buffer still grows to but starts much lower |
| 13:13 | <MrGandalf> | really helps with DVB radio |
| 13:14 | <MrGandalf> | and much less stuttering when you first tune a channel |
| 13:14 | <MrGandalf> | not to mention MUCH faster channel changes :) |
| 13:16 | <gnome42> | hmm, I believe those problems stem from somewhere else. Would you be interested in testing a small patch? |
| 13:16 | <MrGandalf> | sure |
| 13:17 | <MrGandalf> | I've done a lot of testing by setting those low.. but I could just be hiding another problem |
| 13:17 | <GreyFoxx> | Could hide those as settings or DB based values that advanced users can tweak |
| 13:17 | <MrGandalf> | true.. my disk system is much faster than most |
| 13:18 | <MrGandalf> | does the threaded file writer have it's min write value set back on a channel change? |

| 13:19 | <MrGandalf> | k, I'll change those values back and test |
| 13:20 | <gnome42> | MrGandalf: cruise your recorded programs list (ie. hold down the up/down arrow and see how fast you can scroll the list) |
| 13:20 | <gnome42> | then do the same after the patch. |
| 13:20 | <MrGandalf> | k |
| 13:21 | <MrGandalf> | right now it's pretty fast (pre-patch), but I haven't set my values back yet.. I'll do that first |
| 13:22 | <gnome42> | Is your storage local to the frontend? I think this will be more noticeable with remote frontends. |

| 15:35 | <GreyFoxx> | Our internal get_avf_buffer calculates linesize differently that the avcodec_default_get_buffer |

| 15:35 | <GreyFoxx> | so the draw_edges_mmx tries writing past the allocated area |

| 15:37 | <GreyFoxx> | At least now I'm closer to a fix that works for all of them :) |
| 15:37 | <GreyFoxx> | just took a lot of headbanging and reading the avformat/avcodec stuff :) |
| 15:43 | <janneg> | GreyFoxx: you said earlier that the flags differ for mythtv and ffmpeg. have you tried to set the same flags as ffplay in the last if? |
| 15:44 | <GreyFoxx> | That was a redherring |

| 15:46 | <GreyFoxx> | when we set the linesize we are just taking a value coming back from GetNextVideoFrame(), but looking at the calculations done by the avformat actually padd the linesize by another 32 bytes |

| 15:46 | <GreyFoxx> | hads: yup |
| 15:46 | <GreyFoxx> | the draw_edges_mmx crash you and I have run into |
| 15:46 | <hads> | GreyFoxx: Excellent, I was trying to figure it out but it's way over my head. Nice work. |
| 15:48 | <hads> | GreyFoxx: Not sure if you saw me say the other day or if it means anything but I went through a directory of more than 50 files and all the ones that caused the crash mplayer identified as DX50 |
| 15:48 | <GreyFoxx> | there is a seperate issue with some of my mpg files and stuttery playback after the ffmpeg resync, but I'll look at those after this gets properly nailed down |
| 15:49 | <GreyFoxx> | hads oh? I'll have to check mine mplayer --identify ? |
| 15:49 | <hads> | Yeah -identify |
| 15:49 | <GreyFoxx> | ooh the one I've been using for testing shows that as well |
| 15:49 | <hads> | I use: mplayer -identify -vo null -ao null -frames 0 "${*}" 2>&1 | grep -A 13 ID_FILENAME |
| 15:49 | <GreyFoxx> | wtf... I ripped this myself, how the heck |
| 15:50 | <GreyFoxx> | cool, that will be useful |
| 15:50 | <GreyFoxx> | Actually and that means I can likely use some of my digital camera footage as I know that shows up as DX50 as well |
| 15:50 | <GreyFoxx> | I'll have to grab some off the Mac when I get home and try it |

| 15:51 | <hads> | I was trying to create a test file but everytime I chopped an avi up I couldn't reproduce it. |
| 15:52 | <GreyFoxx> | I've got at least 3 that cause it |
| 15:52 | <GreyFoxx> | Cool, at least a fix is one step closer now |
| 15:52 | <hads> | I've got loads (>30) but all too big to share |
| 15:53 | <hads> | GreyFoxx: Thanks for your work, if you need anything tested just ping me. |
| 15:53 | <GreyFoxx> | I'll likely get you to test a patch when I have one ready |
| 15:53 | <hads> | Sweet |
| 15:58 | <hads> | GreyFoxx: I saw #4061 the other day which appears to be the same thing. |
| 16:00 | <GreyFoxx> | very likely the same issue |
| 16:00 | <gbee> | noticed something I don't remember seeing before, when I exit mythvideo I'm returned to the main menu and not the Media Library menu |
| 16:01 | <GreyFoxx> | I see that if I use a jumppoint to jump to video list. When I exit I go directly to the main menu |
| 16:01 | <gbee> | only happens if I change the view mode (gallery to list) before exiting |
| 16:01 | <gbee> | not using a jumppoint, don't have one setup because I don't normally use mythvideo |
| 16:02 | <Anduin> | gbee: Not new (no ticket for it though) |
| 16:02 | <gbee> | Anduin: a bug though? |
| 16:03 | <GreyFoxx> | gbee: Ever since I picked up the MCE remote I added jumppoints for videolist and for Watchrecordings and I use them all the time. Wish I had done it on previous remotes :) |
| 16:04 | <gbee> | or maybe I should be asking whether it's worth opening a ticket, or is it one of the issues for which the fix is so complicated that it's not really a high priority? |
| 16:04 | <Anduin> | gbee: I consider it a bug (it annoys me only enough to have looked in to fixing it a few times) |
| 16:05 | <gbee> | GreyFoxx: I setup a jumpoint for Watch Recordings, although I also use a custom menu where Watch Recordings is on the first page |
| 16:05 | <gbee> | I'm' using the 'video' button on the MCE remote for that |
| 16:14 | <gbee> | hmm, what it's doing is switching screens by calling jumppoints |
| 16:16 | [~] | justinh wishes there was a non-harmony universal remote with more buttons |
| 16:16 | <gbee> | can't really attack the logic of that, since there may be a good reason for it, just doesn't seem right |
| 16:17 | <gbee> | does it have to be universal? how many buttons? |
| 16:19 | <justinh> | gbee: has to be universal. hate multi remotes.. as in more than one |
| 16:19 | <justinh> | my current OFA-6 has _almost_ enough buttons for mythtv |
| 16:20 | <gbee> | justinh: sure, only asking since you may have everything running through mythtv and have no need for more than one |
| 16:20 | <Anduin> | gbee: I'm mostly sure I tried pop = false for the jump and when it didn't work gave up until later (I don't have notes for that issue though) |
| 16:20 | <justinh> | I'm considering building an IR blaster to have mythvideo fire up my amp |
| 16:21 | <justinh> | but that still leaves the TV & cable STB |
| 16:27 | <gbee> | Anduin: ok, don't have time at the moment to look at it, but I think I'd approach it by getting rid of the jumppoint switching (assuming that is practical) |
| 16:28 | <gbee> | I've only spent 5 minutes looking at the issue so I really don't know whether what I'm proposing is sane |

| 17:06 | <janneg> | does anyone knows why most of the program table fields are non NULL? |
| 17:08 | <xris> | janneg: part of that could be me... you can't properly index NULL fields in mysql |
| 17:13 | <janneg> | qt4 tries to insert NULL if the bounded value is null. This wouldn't be bad, but it happens occasionally for empty strings too |
| 17:13 | <gbee> | justinh: remind me, which bit plugin did you say was the worst to theme? I'm losing the will to live theming mythvideo |
| 17:14 | <clever> | myth is being ported over to qt4? |
| 17:19 | <GreyFoxx> | clever: there is a branch for it |
| 17:19 | <clever> | ahh |
| 17:19 | <clever> | is it posible to link in both qt3 and 4? |
| 17:19 | <GreyFoxx> | no idea |
| 17:20 | <GreyFoxx> | I would assume no |
| 17:20 | <CDev> | janneg: I haven't had time to make any major changes to the QT4 branch. So, feel freen to do the merge. |
| 17:20 | <clever> | was thinking you could convert it 1 section at a time and let the rest fall back to qt3 |

| 17:23 | <janneg> | CDev: ok, I'll do the merge once I have solved the NULL inserts |
| 17:24 | <janneg> | clever: no, you can't link against qt3 and qt4 at the same time |
| 17:25 | <clever> | ahh |
| 17:25 | <clever> | so you have to port the whole thing over before you can even begin to test any changes:( |
| 17:26 | <janneg> | but qt4 has qt3 compatibility classes |
| 17:27 | <clever> | yeah |
| 17:27 | <clever> | and i heard of scripts to aid in porting |
| 17:27 | <clever> | but it will break some parts |
| 17:43 | <janneg> | grr, calling toUtf8() on a non null QString results in a null QByteArray |

| 17:46 | <justinh> | gbee: mytharchive, by a very very long chalk |
| 17:47 | <justinh> | mythvideo is a pleasure compared to mytharchive |
| 17:48 | <justinh> | I think what kills it for me is the sheer amount of screens |
| 17:49 | <justinh> | and the fact that when you redo a later screen in a section you have to go all the way back in to check it |
| 17:49 | <justinh> | shudderring just thinking about it actually |
| 17:51 | <justinh> | gbee: it made me realise how good it'd be to be able to just theme common widgets instead |
| 17:52 | <clever> | but then you may need to think about how the widgets fit together latter on |
| 17:52 | <justinh> | clever: not as much as you might think |
| 17:53 | <justinh> | most of the listareas for example are roughly the same size & number of rows |
| 17:54 | <justinh> | and I reckon it'd help accomplish a more uniform look & feel |
| 17:55 | <justinh> | I know it might be limiting in some ways but overall I think it'd make life easier. wasn't that one of the reasons for mythui in the 1st place? |
| 17:58 | <justinh> | it probably doesn't have to be that extreme.. I mean make theming too easy & every tom dick & harold is going to start bastardising the UI a la Winamp ;) |

| 18:08 | <gbee> | I've tried where possible to keep them uniform, mythvideo bothers me because I can't do it there - the list view screen for example would ideally look a lot like the watch recordings screen but because it uses managed tree list instead of listareas and has a strange navigation it can't be done |
| 18:09 | <gbee> | if I had the time I would switch that screen to use listareas in a similar way to watch recordings |
