| 12:00 | <gbee> | EIT is still borked |
| 12:00 | <stuarta> | not for me |
| 12:01 | <stuarta> | what you seeing? |
| 12:01 | <gbee> | not getting any passive EIT collection |
| 12:01 | <gbee> | I've got active collection disabled because it triggers a driver bug in the Nova-T 500 |
| 12:01 | <stuarta> | k |
| 12:02 | <stuarta> | it's probably disabling the passive incorrectly in this state. |
| 12:02 | <gbee> | I've not looked into it yet, could be that a recent change is conflicting with janneg's patch to disable active scanning |
| 12:02 | <stuarta> | i need to crack on and write the shared eit cache |
| 12:04 | <Chutt> | Anduin, i don't think it's necessary, i don't recall deleting an individual change for a while |
| 12:04 | <Chutt> | Anduin, the spam filter seems to be doing well in that regards |
| 12:04 | <stuarta> | Chutt: like a comment on a ticket? |
| 12:04 | <Chutt> | yes |
| 12:04 | <stuarta> | we've used that lots to remove spam |
| 12:05 | <Chutt> | recently? |
| 12:05 | <stuarta> | i'd go as far a saying it's the most commonly used way of deleting it. |
| 12:05 | <stuarta> | um, not me personally, but i've been mega busy |
| 12:05 | <Chutt> | i don't remember any spam getting through since the new spam filtering stuff went live, though |
| 12:05 | <Chutt> | that's all |
| 12:06 | <stuarta> | i think i agree |
| 12:06 | <stuarta> | i haven't seen any for ages |
| 12:06 | <Chutt> | log in to trac and check the spam logs some time |
| 12:06 | <Chutt> | it's blocking a _lot_ |
| 12:06 | <stuarta> | k |
| 12:06 | <Chutt> | so, =) |
| 12:08 | <stuarta> | so it is :) |
| 12:09 | <laga> | Chutt: it's blocking some legit stuff, too |
| 12:09 | <Chutt> | yeah, but, i don't care _that_ much :p |
| 12:12 | <Chutt> | and if people have a 'account' |
| 12:12 | <Chutt> | where they just have the email address/etc set via cookies |
| 12:12 | <gbee> | at least it seems to support some sort of bayesian learning, just marked a couple of legit comments as 'Ham' |
| 12:12 | <Chutt> | (from the preferences part) |
| 12:13 | <Chutt> | it pretty much guarantees it gets through |
| 12:13 | <Chutt> | gbee, the bayesian filter isn't enabled |
| 12:13 | <Chutt> | just the regexp (using the 'BadContent' wiki page) |
| 12:14 | <gbee> | ahh |
| 12:14 | <Chutt> | the 'external links' filter, which just starts adding negative values for each external link |
| 12:14 | <Chutt> | over 3 or so |
| 12:14 | <Chutt> | and the session filter one, which bumps up people with the cookies set |

| 14:12 | <justinh> | oof right on the edge of the overscan area :P |
| 14:12 | <justinh> | looks great though |
| 14:14 | <justinh> | you've overtaken me gbee, certainly on my current level of motivation anyway ;) |
| 14:16 | <justinh> | I dunno if I can be er.. motivated to keep maintaining all those themes to keep up with current trunk at the rate it's going |
| 14:18 | <gbee> | heh |
| 14:18 | <justinh> | I think we're soon going to be at the point where you won't be able to have backwards compatible themes at all |
| 14:18 | <justinh> | though now there's nothing to stop me running trunk at home - soon going to have the new frontend in its rightful place. |
| 14:19 | <gbee> | that point will come sooner rather than later |
| 14:19 | <justinh> | yeah at the current rate maybe by new year |
| 14:19 | <justinh> | though that might already have come actually if I think about it |
| 14:20 | <justinh> | I think mytharchive is what did it. one of the new areas isn't contextual & will appear on -fixes systems permanently |
| 14:21 | <gbee> | the more I look at the themes, the more I'd be inclined to ruthlessly cull some of the core themes and replace them with some of the newer generation, e.g. stuff from Jams, you and maybe even mepo (license restrictions allowing) |
| 14:21 | <gbee> | mytharchive made me cry |
| 14:21 | <justinh> | I'll go on record here & state I couldn't be arsed one way or the other whether any of mine go in |
| 14:22 | <justinh> | gbee: I wasn't making it up ;) |
| 14:23 | <justinh> | I know I whinge a lot but I really wasn't exaggerating about mytharchive |
| 14:23 | <gbee> | it might be too confrontational, but I won't theme mytharchive and I'll be honest why not |
| 14:24 | <justinh> | there are other reasons it needs to be looked at though, not just to save work for themers |
| 14:25 | <gbee> | whether it will force changes, I don't know, but I just don't have the time or enthusiasm to sort it out myself |
| 14:25 | <gbee> | I'd be treading all over Paul's toes even if I did and that probably wouldn't end well |
| 14:26 | <justinh> | ah politics ;) |
| 14:27 | <gbee> | in theory I could make all sorts of UI changes under the cover of the mythui port, but even porting mytharchive to mythui isn't a job I'd really want |
| 14:28 | <justinh> | it sounds like a really simple plugin but it's not really, I'm not sure how I'd have done it differently |
| 14:28 | <justinh> | but discussing how it could best go forward - a lot like the rest of mythtv - fine detail of use cases etc.. that'll take some doing |
| 14:30 | <justinh> | the kind of thing a dev conference would be really good for :P |
| 14:30 | <gbee> | like anything, it's easy to criticise |
| 14:31 | <gbee> | aye, it would really help to discuss ideas in person |
| 14:37 | <justinh> | incidentally, somebody on a mailing list brought up the subject of the scan type detection the other day. can't remember what was said about it - starting to notice recordings from channel five are flipping between interlaced & progressive when really they should always be interlaced (despite having progressive frames from time to time) :-\ |
| 14:40 | <gbee> | seems to be an increasingly common complaint, iirc there is a ticket open for it |
| 14:42 | <justinh> | I'm a few days behind reading my ML traffic |
| 14:43 | <gbee> | eww, quality of Five US seems to be going downhill, I can count the pixels |

| 14:44 | <justinh> | it's all gonna go down the toilet before long: http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/digitaltv/a80757/ofcom-viewers-want-more-freeview-channels.html |
| 14:44 | <justinh> | who the **** are they asking? |
| 14:44 | <gbee> | people who don't already have freeview |
| 14:45 | <justinh> | I think the questions should be put into context too... like "if the quality of picture was forced to degrade to make room for more channels, would you want more channels?" |
| 14:45 | <justinh> | there's always DVB-S though :) |
| 14:45 | <gbee> | it's utter bollocks, but I'm not as bothered as I was now that FreeSat is in the pipeline |
| 14:45 | <gbee> | ;) |
| 14:46 | <justinh> | yeah but then we all need quad LNBs & crap |
| 14:46 | <justinh> | the plus side is that hey maybe at least somebody will get round to writing some decent dvb-s wiki articles |
| 14:47 | <justinh> | whoah I just realised something. fitting a dish next to the computer room won't even involve going up a ladder :D step out of the window onto the kitchen extension roof |
| 14:48 | <gbee> | :D |
| 14:48 | <justinh> | easy cable run too |
| 14:48 | <stuarta> | don't even have to bolt it onto the wall |
| 14:48 | <justinh> | I'm not good on ladders above first floor floor level |
| 14:48 | <stuarta> | can just sit it on a frame |
| 14:48 | <gbee> | so, do you need multiple LNBs because the signal doesn't split too well? |
| 14:48 | <justinh> | it's not that the signal doesn't split too well as such |
| 14:48 | <stuarta> | gbee: depends |
| 14:49 | <justinh> | it's more the fact that each tuner is putting power & control signals on the wire |
| 14:49 | <stuarta> | if you want multiple STB's then the all need to be able to control the LNB |
| 14:49 | <justinh> | that's why DiSecq was invented |
| 14:49 | <stuarta> | not quite |
| 14:49 | <stuarta> | well maybe |
| 14:49 | <stuarta> | but anyway |
| 14:50 | <justinh> | one of the reasons ;) |
| 14:50 | <gbee> | ahh, hmm guess there is stuff I don't know about satellite, here I was thinking that LNBs was just passive bits of kit |
| 14:50 | <stuarta> | those "multi room" $ky LNB's are in fact a Quad LNB |
| 14:50 | <stuarta> | the basics is that there are H & V polarizations |
| 14:51 | <justinh> | one LNB output per tuner & if you have multiple birds (i.e. LNBs/dishes pointed at different sats) that's where diseqc comes in |
| 14:51 | <stuarta> | plus high and lo IF |
| 14:51 | <justinh> | plus phantom power for the LNB |
| 14:51 | <stuarta> | then to confuse you further there are quattro LNB's |
| 14:51 | <stuarta> | which need a diseq switch in front of them |
| 14:52 | <stuarta> | but can support 4,8,16 STB's |
| 14:52 | <justinh> | it got a lot more complicated since the analogue astra days when I cut my teeth with satellite stuff |
| 14:52 | <justinh> | point dish at bird. hook cable up to STB, align dish. job done |
| 14:52 | <stuarta> | the quad LNB's basically have inbuilt diseq switches so they look like a simple LNB to the STB |
| 14:52 | <justinh> | tea time :) |
| 14:53 | <stuarta> | been there done that |
| 14:53 | <gbee> | more complex than I thought, I mean the multiple dish per sat is obvious, but I thought the LNB passed down all the data and the box/card handled the rest |
| 14:54 | <stuarta> | pretty much |
| 14:54 | <stuarta> | but the STB must tell the LNB which polarization & IF to use |
| 14:54 | <gbee> | stuarta: yeah, that's the bit I didn't know |
| 14:55 | <stuarta> | so most of the stuff we were just talking about, is designed to present a single LNB to the STB |
| 14:55 | <stuarta> | apart from the setups where you point multiple LNB's at different birds |
| 14:56 | <gbee> | yeah, probably won't be as simple as I thought though to hookup some DVB-S cards with my existing dish/lnb, guess I'll work it out as I go along |
| 14:57 | <stuarta> | actually, provided it's still pointed at a bird, you should be okay |
| 14:57 | <stuarta> | anything else connected to the dish atm? |
| 14:58 | <gbee> | stuarta: no |
| 14:58 | [~] | stuarta has a sat socket on the wall and no dvb-s card... |
| 14:58 | <stuarta> | should be good then |
| 14:59 | <gbee> | I was looking at dvb-s cards starting around £20, for that price I can afford to experiment without really losing much if it doesn't work out |
| 15:06 | <stuarta> | hmmm, 30 quid + vat. |
| 15:06 | <stuarta> | wonder if that's supported. |

| 15:36 | <gbee> | any other ideas for a DVB-S tuner would be appreciated, I thought justinh had linked a cheap one the other week but I can't find it |
| 15:36 | <laga> | maybe you want to get one with a (optional) CI |
| 15:36 | <stuarta> | Dibblah: that puppy have linux drivers? |
| 15:36 | <Dibblah> | Yes. |
| 15:36 | <laga> | not sure about what CAMs you need/can use over there |
| 15:36 | <Dibblah> | Unless they've revved the board, of course. |
| 15:37 | <stuarta> | no point, none of them would be techically legal |
| 15:37 | <Dibblah> | Err... Should we shift across to -users for this discussion? |
| 15:37 | <stuarta> | no that's logged :) |
| 15:37 | <gbee> | laga: unlikely to even consider paying Sky a penny, so it's not really an issue |
| 15:37 | <stuarta> | and we are dev's discussing our hardware requirements ;-) |
| 15:38 | <gbee> | for development purposes, of course ;) |
| 15:38 | <stuarta> | :) |
| 15:38 | <Dibblah> | If you are willing to spend a bit more (and not have a CI), Skystar works really well. |
| 15:39 | <stuarta> | i'm tempted by dvb-s2, however i suspect there's bugger all driver support |
| 15:39 | <Dibblah> | True still, unfortunately. |
| 15:39 | <Dibblah> | There is some, but it's all in seperate trees. |
| 15:40 | <Dibblah> | Much like most of the DVB developers at this point. |
| 15:40 | <gbee> | might consider a more expensive card if I decide that dvb-s is worth it in my setup, but until then I'd go with the cheapest working card |
| 15:40 | <stuarta> | think i'd get a proper production setup first. |
| 15:41 | <Dibblah> | And S2 also requires Myth changes (so far unspecified). |
| 15:41 | <Dibblah> | VDR has apparently done something in a branch. |
| 15:44 | <stuarta> | looks like it comes with a remote for an extra 5.5 euro which isn't bad |
| 15:45 | <gbee> | yeah, I was just wondering if the remote worked with lirc - it's USB which is a definite plus for use with my laptop frontend |
| 15:45 | <gbee> | hmm, ?12 isn't it? or are you looking at another card? |
| 15:46 | <stuarta> | light "basic edition" vs light |
| 15:46 | <Dibblah> | The remote dongle is a serial thing. |
| 15:46 | <Dibblah> | Should be LIRC compatible. |
| 15:47 | <Dibblah> | Oh, different? |
| 15:47 | <gbee> | ahh, ok, the basic edition offers a USB remote for an extra ?12 |
| 15:47 | [~] | stuarta suspects it's a option. |
| 15:50 | <gbee> | it is |
| 15:50 | <gbee> | no pictures or description of the remote, so no idea what it's like or whether it's worth the ?12 |
| 15:52 | <janneg> | mythtv crashes the xserver on my new notebook :( |
| 15:53 | <stuarta> | thats not nice... |
| 15:53 | <janneg> | it's probably my fault since I use the newest intel driver with older xorg server and mesa |

| 16:22 | <justinh> | gbee: the one I linked was on scan |
| 16:23 | <justinh> | was about £20 |
| 16:23 | <stuarta> | ooo |
| 16:24 | <gbee> | had a look just before, couldn't find it, but then scan's site isn't the easiest to search |
| 16:24 | <janneg> | a warning regarding the technisat skystar. there is a new revision 2.7 which is not (yet?) supported |
| 16:28 | <justinh> | gbee: seems I might've made a mistook. it was the leadtek dtv1000S, which is still dvb-t |
| 16:28 | <gbee> | ahh, ok - well shows how much attention I must have been paying then |
| 16:28 | <justinh> | I think what fooled me is that there's also a dtv1000T |
| 16:30 | <gbee> | yeah |
| 16:30 | <justinh> | come to think about it, I wasn't the one who posted the link but I cooed ;) |
| 16:31 | <gbee> | ok, looks like the one Dibblah linked is the best bargin card |
| 16:31 | <justinh> | whoah nice.. gone are MS corefonts from some themes eh? :) |
| 16:32 | <gbee> | justinh: not really, just a few default files, if you want to sort out the rest, I'm sure you'll earn the eternal gratitude of newbies everywhere |
| 16:32 | <justinh> | heh ok |
| 16:33 | <justinh> | I've had a few noob moments this weekend. tried building a kernel & monged it |
| 16:33 | <gbee> | it's not really a good as it sounds, since as many people will be missing Bitstream fonts as those missing MS fonts |
| 16:34 | <justinh> | yeah but it won't be in a restricted package at least |
| 16:34 | <gbee> | but at least the bitstream fonts can be legally distributed |
| 16:34 | <gbee> | aye |
| 16:34 | <justinh> | snap! |

| 17:46 | <justinh> | damnit. shoulda bought a Sky navigator remote instead of this crap ondigital one |
| 17:54 | <gbee> | if you can live without the keyboard, then I'd pick the MCE remote over the Sky Navigator |
| 17:55 | <justinh> | I can def. live without the ugly USB box |
| 17:55 | <gbee> | cheaper than the Navigator too |
| 17:55 | <justinh> | not at £5 on ebay |
| 17:55 | <gbee> | justinh: don't have to use the IR receiver/blaster |
| 17:56 | <gbee> | can be used with any IR receiver |
| 17:56 | <gbee> | justinh: I'll admit I didn't know that the Navigator was going for that price on Ebay, used to seeing it sell for £30+ on the High Street |
| 17:57 | <justinh> | the whole point is the keyboard. don't need it all that often but great to have :) love just having one non-menu driven remote too |
| 17:58 | <justinh> | hold on a sec. If I'm not mistaken I have a bbc hd clip on the HDD of the LRL machine |
| 17:58 | <justinh> | bah I'll get it tomorrow |

| 18:00 | <justinh> | be nice if there was a remote just like my OFA-6 (programmable with geek-fu) but with more buttons |
| 18:00 | <gbee> | justinh: it's a nice clip, but IMHO just skip the Jools Holland bit and go to the BBC HD trailer section near the end, it's beautiful |
| 18:00 | <justinh> | heh. if it plays, it plays |
| 18:01 | <justinh> | still a bloody crime to replace that epia crap with something about 6 times more powerful than my desktop though |
| 18:02 | <gbee> | transcodes to what I think is MPEG-4 part 14, it plays back brilliantly on my laptop and combined with my new monitor the result looks great |
| 18:02 | <justinh> | my 2nd monitor hasn't been plugged into my deskto for about 14 days now |
| 18:03 | <justinh> | trying to think of a use I can put the epia board to when it's run its course. might need something to wedge the door open with... |
| 18:04 | <gbee> | heh, I think stuarta was angling for it |
| 18:04 | <justinh> | what for? it takes up more space than it is useful |
| 18:05 | <justinh> | to think I paid a hundred notes for that too :-\ |
| 18:05 | <justinh> | it really doesn't matter how much electricity you're saving if the show you're watching is going duh... duh.... duh... |
| 18:06 | <justinh> | save even more by switching it off! |
| 18:06 | <justinh> | oh I meant to ask something about a recent commit |
| 18:07 | <justinh> | mythgallery - I had a patch submitted from otto for blootubelite-wide - I patched blootube-wide too but do you think any others are affected too? |
| 18:09 | <gbee> | could well be other themes affected, I didn't check |
| 18:09 | <justinh> | I'll have a look when I get by dev box up again. won't be long now |
| 18:09 | <justinh> | I want to get cracking on things again. making the frontend work didn't hurt my brain enough |
| 18:10 | <gbee> | ok thanks, I could take a look too, just want to get this mythweather stuff out of the way, some pretty minor changes snowballed into something much larger :( |

| 18:16 | <Anduin> | How much will whitespace changes to video-ui.xml irritate theme folk? |
| 18:17 | <gbee> | Anduin: not at all I'd think, since it won't break any themes |
| 18:18 | <justinh> | I vote for any changes that don't make me do work :) |
| 18:18 | <Anduin> | gbee: Yeah, I've just noticed in other core themes, well that it is often very close, just wondering if people regularly diff them (even if only visually) |
| 18:18 | <Anduin> | justinh: Not work saving, just consistent indent |
| 18:19 | <justinh> | Anduin: nice indenting is still on my to-do list for all my xml files. one fine day |
| 18:19 | <gbee> | Anduin: personally I don't, but I've done one theme and I'm probably not representative of themers in general ;) |
| 18:20 | <gbee> | Anduin: I've been using the same indentation as the code on my theme, 4 space as well as seperating all widget definitions by a line |
| 18:21 | <gbee> | massive improvement to readability |
| 18:21 | <justinh> | heh. not much past splitting up ui.xml will do it for me IMHO |
| 18:21 | <Anduin> | I was going to go with four originally but three seems to be predominant in other xml files |
| 18:22 | <justinh> | Anduin: anyway, of all the stuff you'd see me object to, whitespace isn't one of them things |
| 18:22 | <Anduin> | gbee: You MythUI work is going to start after the release? |
| 18:22 | <justinh> | if that counts for anything |
| 18:23 | <gbee> | Anduin: I'll start before, but whether it get checked in or not depends on Chutt |
| 18:23 | <Anduin> | It does, I'm going to apply a patch that adds a new dialog (manual title, as much as I hate it), I'm going to make it optional for themers as well. |
| 18:23 | <justinh> | and as for the mythui porting.. full steam ahead I say, couldn't happen fast enough no matter how much gets borked in the short term |
| 18:23 | <gbee> | in theory I can convert over screens and plugins one at a time without breaking other areas |
| 18:23 | <jams> | Anduin- it's an ok with me to go ahead with the whitespace changes. |
| 18:24 | <gbee> | spacing scheme I've been following: http://pastebin.ca/810455 |
| 18:24 | <Anduin> | gbee: Do you mind somewhat low-level additions to the wiki on MythUI? |
| 18:24 | <gbee> | no |
| 18:25 | <justinh> | gbee: nice. wish I was as fastidious |
| 18:25 | <justinh> | I've considered making a script or 2 to tidy all mine up |
| 18:25 | <gbee> | justinh: kate helps, it can sort out the indentation for the whole file in a single click |
| 18:25 | <Anduin> | gbee: I'm cuddling start/end tags but the same mostly. |
| 18:25 | <justinh> | really? hahaha. |
| 18:26 | <gbee> | the spacing I do as I work through the file, helps to see where I've got up to ;) |
| 18:26 | <jams> | gbee- do you have a color scheme for kate? |
| 18:26 | <jams> | i have yet to find one that really works for me |
| 18:26 | <gbee> | jams: just using the default |
| 18:26 | <justinh> | last thing I plan to do this year is roll out a 'xmas pack' for glass-wide. no idea if it'll happen in time though |
| 18:26 | <jams> | ah thats way to bright for me |
| 18:27 | <gbee> | jams: the white background? |
| 18:27 | <jams> | yeah |
| 18:27 | <gbee> | can be a bit much, but I've got used to it |
| 18:27 | <justinh> | off to bed. g'night all |
| 18:28 | <gbee> | in the past I've spent time creating custom schemes, but I always forget to back them up and they get lost when I reinstall/upgrade, so I stopped bothering |

| 19:04 | <gbee> | Anduin: what do you think about replacing the default font in mythvideo with "Bitstream Vera Sans"? I've done it elsewhere. As Justin and I were discussing earlier, depending on a font which can be legally distributed is preferable to the MS fonts |
| 19:11 | <gbee> | DejaVu Sans, might actually make a better default, it's BVS with extra (non Latin) character support |
| 19:11 | <gbee> | thoughts? |
| 19:29 | <Anduin> | gbee: One sec, let me install bitstream-vera and look |
| 19:29 | <gbee> | Anduin: np |
| 19:29 | <Anduin> | If I read the scollback correctly, this isn't going to require everyone to install bitstream-vera (as you would then include it)? |
| 19:30 | <gbee> | Anduin: that would be desirable, although I need to read up on how to have QT look at a custom location for fonts |
| 19:32 | <gbee> | even if we don't do that though, BVS/DVS are more likely to be installed by default for most distros than MS Corefonts |
| 19:32 | <gbee> | if BVS/DVS aren't installed, then QT will attempt to find a similar looking font that _is_ available on the system, so it shouldn't fail entirely |

| 19:46 | <gbee> | just reading up on embedding fonts with QT, it's very easy and even seems to suggest there are memory/cpu time savings to be had (though I'm dubious) |
| 19:46 | <gbee> | at the very least, it should solve the problems people have had with blank menus because they didn't have fonts installed |
| 19:48 | <gbee> | or Chutt's recent problem of having the wrong type of font installed, so lacking anti-aliasing |
| 19:51 | <gbee> | aww, only applies to QT/Embedded ... so much for that idea |
