| 01:37 | <superm1> | i'm preparing the trunk related builds for hardy, and i'm seeing all these extra options for building with external libraries such as x264. Since we have a modern x264 in apt, would these be fairly beneficial you suppose? |

| 06:24 | <justinh> | I _think_ I'm kinda getting my head around this now :) |
| 06:25 | <superm1> | in videoout_ivtv.cpp, where is has_v4l2_api and has_pause_bug supposed to be defined? |
| 06:25 | <superm1> | i must be going crazy, i can't find definitions in any headers |
| 06:26 | <justinh> | you fixing pvr350 stuff? rather you than me superm1 |
| 06:26 | <superm1> | justinh, well i was just building, and then realizing there is a bunch of broken stuff |
| 06:27 | <superm1> | was it just an incomplete patch someone started to do? |
| 06:27 | <justinh> | don't remember seeing a pvr350 patch for ages |
| 06:27 | <laga> | bunch of broken stuff? |
| 06:27 | <laga> | in the trunk builds? |
| 06:27 | <superm1> | yeah |
| 06:27 | <laga> | never noticed any broken stuff. |
| 06:27 | <superm1> | sec. |
| 06:27 | <superm1> | http://paste.ubuntu.com/3989/ |
| 06:28 | <laga> | superm1: i haven't built head in a while, but it used to work pre-multirec merghe |
| 06:28 | <laga> | merge* |
| 06:28 | <superm1> | well it worked post multirec merge i thought too. |
| 06:28 | <superm1> | hm |
| 06:29 | <laga> | i never built on hardy, though |
| 06:29 | <superm1> | well when did those two calls suddenly show up? |
| 06:29 | <superm1> | lets see. |
| 06:31 | <superm1> | http://svn.mythtv.org/trac/changeset/14589/trunk/mythtv/libs/libmythtv/videoout_ivtv.cpp |
| 06:32 | <laga> | superm1: 27s from power-on to X + xfce running with aufs. |
| 06:32 | <superm1> | oooh very nice |
| 06:32 | <superm1> | aufs sounds like the way to go |
| 06:33 | <superm1> | well that commit was 4 months ago. i wonder if this is only failing on hardy (eg newer kernels) |
| 06:33 | <superm1> | well it shouldn't, since the kernel source doesn't get installed |
| 06:34 | <laga> | headers get installed, tho |
| 06:34 | <laga> | don't they? |
| 06:34 | <superm1> | i don't think so |
| 06:34 | * | laga wonders how long booting will take once HAL is enabled. anyways, OT here |
| 06:35 | <superm1> | well linux-libc-dev is installed |
| 06:35 | <superm1> | but nothing more |
| 06:35 | <laga> | and some dvb headers IIRC |
| 06:43 | <superm1> | not in any of the headers on my normal system eitehr |
| 06:43 | <superm1> | the only results google is finding point back at myth sources. |
| 06:43 | <superm1> | hmm weird. |
| 06:43 | <laga> | heh .) |
| 06:43 | <laga> | gotta run, laters |

| 10:21 | <reynaldo> | thanks for the draworder explanation, so that way you can control how ab objects hides others in its back? |
| 10:22 | <reynaldo> | (my english is far from perfect) |
| 10:22 | <reynaldo> | yeah, blackhole, sorry |
| 10:22 | <justinh> | reynaldo: if you want to hide things from time to time, use contexts |
| 10:22 | <reynaldo> | oh, thanks. |
| 10:23 | <reynaldo> | justinh: can you elavorate on how to hook a spinbox to a given ui then ? |
| 10:23 | <reynaldo> | I'd really appreciate that |
| 10:23 | <justinh> | reynaldo: they're all hard coded right now. in the source code, not xml |
| 10:24 | <gbee> | reynaldo: spinboxes are only used for settings in mythtv, settings should use the "settings wizard code" |
| 10:25 | <justinh> | you can make a container type to be able to control the position of the spin/combo box I suppose but that's messy IMHO |
| 10:25 | <reynaldo> | gbee: you mean I should call, ie, static HostCheckBox *MythControlsVolume() |
| 10:25 | <reynaldo> | from my code ? |
| 10:25 | <gbee> | something like that, yes |
| 10:26 | <justinh> | arghhh not the settings wizard code :( |
| 10:26 | <gbee> | it's nasty stuff :/ |
| 10:26 | <reynaldo> | gbee: in what way it wouldnt be like that ? |
| 10:26 | <reynaldo> | i mean, why the 'like' |
| 10:26 | <reynaldo> | :) |
| 10:27 | <reynaldo> | why can I just make a spinbox/combobox for myself ? |
| 10:27 | <gbee> | reynaldo: I don't know exactly how it should be done, because I've never done it |
| 10:27 | <reynaldo> | can/can't |
| 10:27 | <justinh> | gbee: btw thanks for the inheritance explanatin yesterday but it didn't give me much of a start in the settings wizard things. appearance settings page needs some work to accept an extra button methinks |
| 10:28 | <justinh> | they're way way WAY above my head. I kind of know what needs to be done but not how to do it |
| 10:28 | <reynaldo> | justinh: is there any reason why someone would like to use a blackhole to host/hook at spinbox in/to a theme ? |
| 10:28 | <justinh> | reynaldo: it's nasty, that's why not |
| 10:28 | <reynaldo> | ok, hard to know what's right when all you have is the sourcecode |
| 10:29 | <reynaldo> | there are several places where that approach is used in mythplugins's code |
| 10:29 | <justinh> | yeah and none of them are nice |
| 10:29 | <reynaldo> | so I should just code the spinbox and hook it to the theme using ... what ? |
| 10:29 | <reynaldo> | an example would be awesome |
| 10:29 | <reynaldo> | :-) |
| 10:30 | <justinh> | reynaldo: the xml parser can look for all kinds of area tags |
| 10:30 | <justinh> | what is it you're doing anyway, if you don't mind me asking? |
| 10:31 | <reynaldo> | I'm doing some mythplugins for a client |
| 10:31 | <justinh> | what kind of plugins? |
| 10:31 | <reynaldo> | the one I'm dealing with right now changes the lang and the tx |
| 10:31 | <reynaldo> | tz |
| 10:32 | <reynaldo> | and I do understand you dont want something like that in your code, you want to use the settings wizzard and that's perfectly ok |
| 10:32 | <justinh> | as plugins? ahem.. says the pot, about to call the kettle.. # |
| 10:32 | <reynaldo> | client does not, he wants a plugin |
| 10:33 | <reynaldo> | so Im there, I do have code in several other FOS projects and I'm starting to like mythtv aim so I might as well throw some bits here latter |
| 10:33 | <reynaldo> | right now, I just want to have this simple things done |
| 10:34 | <reynaldo> | heck, even mythtv has code from me already, grep around for 'Reynaldo H. Verdejo Pinochet' |
| 10:35 | <reynaldo> | so, justinh, do you think you can throw me an example |
| 10:35 | <reynaldo> | ? |
| 10:37 | <gbee> | the settings wizard can be used from within a plugin, it depends on the effect your client wants |
| 10:38 | <gbee> | there is actually a window already written to change the language, do you know about that? It's only displayed the first time you run mythtv but it might be useful |
| 10:38 | <reynaldo> | inmediate change of the tz and the lang for the frontend and for the account in which it is running, the latter is already taken care of |
| 10:38 | <reynaldo> | gbee: I saw it the first time, yes |
| 10:39 | <reynaldo> | I can think a zillion of other uses to this piece of 'how to put an spinbox/combobox in a ui' knowledge so I'm looking into it |
| 10:39 | <gbee> | you can add a hostComboBox etc to the page and use a 'blackhole' to determine the positioning like you originally suggested |
| 10:40 | <reynaldo> | but justinh said it was ugly, is there a better/neater way ? |
| 10:40 | <justinh> | blackhole would be the easiest, not necessarily the 'best' way IMHO |
| 10:40 | <Chutt> | there's no other way. |
| 10:41 | <reynaldo> | Hi Chutt, so thats why the approach, while ugly to mosts, is actually used in the code? |
| 10:41 | <Chutt> | apparently |
| 10:43 | <reynaldo> | humm. |
| 10:43 | <justinh> | anyway, I have a better answer to why mythappearance is a plugin. I can't integrate it myself. merry hacker maybe, but I'm not experienced or knowledgable enough |
| 10:44 | <gbee> | reynaldo: a lot of hacks and ugly approaches were used because they were quicker than making the proper changes to the UI code |
| 10:44 | <gbee> | we hopefully won't make same mistake for the new UI code |
| 10:45 | <reynaldo> | more power to you :) |
| 10:45 | <gbee> | for your purpose, writing for a client where time is a factor, then using a blackhole is the best option - were you writing the same code for inclusion in mythtv, we'd probably require it done differently |
| 10:46 | <reynaldo> | Oh, I'd actually would want to make it right to look out for future inclusion. |
| 10:46 | <reynaldo> | that would be better for my client in the long run |
| 10:47 | <justinh> | then tell them settings wizards should be built-in, not in plugins ;) |
| 10:47 | <reynaldo> | having code out of the main project's tree is a PITA |
| 10:47 | <justinh> | I can tell you from experience that's much easier said than done! |
| 10:47 | <reynaldo> | sure |
| 10:48 | <reynaldo> | problem is there is something fundamentally wrong with the settings wizzard |
| 10:48 | <justinh> | meaning? |
| 10:48 | <reynaldo> | you cant have the language choice buried down a few windows up on the road |
| 10:48 | <reynaldo> | it should be the first |
| 10:48 | <justinh> | it's presented the very first time you run mythfrontend |
| 10:48 | <reynaldo> | it should even be always there, maybe in a corner |
| 10:48 | <justinh> | ! |
| 10:49 | <reynaldo> | justinh: ever thought you might not be the one who made the first installation ? |
| 10:49 | <justinh> | how many people are going to need to change it more than once? |
| 10:49 | <reynaldo> | who knows |
| 10:49 | <gbee> | if that is the case, then creating a spinbox and the other necessary 'entry' widget for libmythui would be necessary (a lot more work than using the blackhole hack with libmyth), frankly I'm not sure you want to take that route unless your client has deep pockets and is willing to fund you to work the extra time |
| 10:50 | <reynaldo> | maybe, I'm not sure, but i do like to make things right most of the time :) |
| 10:50 | <gbee> | justinh: depends what the client want's to use it for, e.g. in a public space, an information kiosk etc, you need to change the language easily |
| 10:51 | <reynaldo> | yup, public usage is a pretty good point |
| 10:51 | <reynaldo> | justinh: what if you want to put it on a kiosk on an airport lobby ? |
| 10:51 | <justinh> | gbee: I was talking about our context.. the mythtv user at home. waste of time having a language settings box on every screen |
| 10:51 | <gbee> | reynaldo: you might consider doing it without a spinbox? Show a 'Change Language' button on the screen and then launch a new page with seperate buttons for each language |
| 10:51 | <justinh> | reynaldo: I wouldn't make it a spinbox or combo box for one thing |
| 10:52 | <reynaldo> | gbee: yup, on a corner while on every state but playing something |
| 10:52 | <reynaldo> | that would be awesome |
| 10:52 | <justinh> | the very first screen would ask you what your lanugage preference is, then present nice big buttons |
| 10:52 | <gbee> | maybe even with flags |
| 10:52 | <reynaldo> | show a little flag on the top right corner, ppl easily recognizes that |
| 10:53 | <reynaldo> | he, you stole my words |
| 10:53 | <reynaldo> | :-) |
| 10:53 | <justinh> | reynaldo: not on every menu. not for mythtv users. that'd suck. in your own code sure, yeah knock yourself oout |
| 10:53 | <reynaldo> | ? |
| 10:53 | <reynaldo> | justinh: I wont even argue that without code ;) |
| 10:54 | <justinh> | reynaldo: if every screen in mythfrontend, as it is now - had a language setting gadget on there it'd be a waste of time for 99.9% of users :) there's too much info to show onscreen at once as it is |
| 10:55 | <reynaldo> | I see your point, really, but make an effort and you will see mine too |
| 10:55 | <reynaldo> | anyway, I'm right now looking into get this done, then we can argue about its worth and form |
| 10:56 | <reynaldo> | 'client is always right' |
| 10:59 | <justinh> | how many different languages would you want to be able to choose from? |
| 10:59 | <reynaldo> | every language with an usable translation oc. |
| 10:59 | <reynaldo> | 6-7 ? |
| 10:59 | <justinh> | IMHO it'd be better to just put a button up there saying 'change lanugage' or whatever, then present the user with a grid of buttons. heck, even a couple of pages. much nicer than a spinbox |
| 11:00 | <justinh> | way easier to code too |
| 11:00 | <reynaldo> | yup, thats why the cornered flag |
| 11:01 | <justinh> | especially if the end product _is_ some kind of kiosk. mouse controls on those things are generally lame |
| 11:01 | <reynaldo> | the options were never meant to be on the same page |
| 11:01 | <reynaldo> | options/option |
| 11:02 | <reynaldo> | were/was |
| 11:02 | <reynaldo> | oh, I take that back, it was 'the options were' |
| 11:02 | <justinh> | buttons can be made easier to see than small text in a spinbox too |
| 11:02 | -!- | dekarl [n=deKarl@dslb-084-058-078-041.pools.arcor-ip.net] has joined #mythtv |
| 11:03 | <justinh> | and _anything_ looks better than qt spinboxes :) |
| 11:03 | <reynaldo> | is there any programatic way to get the translated languages list, not the entyre lang list |
| 11:03 | <justinh> | reynaldo: probably easier to make the list yourself AFAIK |
| 11:03 | <reynaldo> | I could harcode them from the main menu xml .. has that changed a lot lately ? |
| 11:03 | <justinh> | not in terms of new languages being added, no |
| 11:04 | <reynaldo> | oh, nice, I have already worked with buttons. |
| 11:04 | <justinh> | actually another thing you could do if you don't like the button idea is this: |
| 11:05 | <justinh> | listitems like those the menus use |
| 11:05 | <justinh> | again MUCH nicer than any ugly qt spinbox |
| 11:06 | <reynaldo> | I have an ongoing network configuration plugin too, maybe that would be of some use to you guys |
| 11:06 | <justinh> | and again you aren't limited to just small text |
| 11:06 | <reynaldo> | justinh: thanks for the idea |
| 11:07 | <justinh> | reynaldo: if it's just for one screen to put the tz & language settings on, 2 spinboxes would look like you'd not done much too :P |
| 11:08 | <reynaldo> | justinh: could you brief me on listbtnarea usage ? |
| 11:08 | <justinh> | not without a % cut of your fee & finding out how they work myself :P |
| 11:09 | <reynaldo> | oh, kinda see that comming |
| 11:09 | <justinh> | reynaldo: could also be listarea - or if you don't want to use mythui (technically if it's just for your client you don't need to) just use the same stuff as 'watch recodings' code does |

| 12:28 | <jarle> | I seem to have a problem related to this bug: http://svn.mythtv.org/trac/changeset/14643 Does this mean that a pre-compiled package made on a system with glx 1.4 would not work on a system with a glx version pre 1.4? |
| 12:30 | <jarle> | !seen laga |

| 12:36 | <superm1> | reynaldo, did you have some issues? |
| 12:36 | <superm1> | with our builds? |
| 12:38 | <jarle> | superm1: I do actually.... it seems to maybe be related to http://svn.mythtv.org/trac/ticket/4078 |
| 12:39 | <jarle> | superm1: I get: /usr/bin/mythfrontend.real: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/libmythtv-0.20.so.0: undefined symbol: glXGetProcAddress |
| 12:39 | <superm1> | jarle, we didn't change anything particularly in the build itself |
| 12:39 | <jarle> | superm1: Thats running latest svn build.. |
| 12:39 | <superm1> | build dependencies however could have changed if there were any updates to X |
| 12:40 | <superm1> | but looking at that, that's 4 months old |
| 12:41 | <jarle> | superm1: If I understand the error correctly it is looking for glXGetProcAddress instead of glXGetProcAddressARB as it probably should (as I'm running a legacy nvidia driver on this frontend) |
| 12:41 | <superm1> | jarle, come join us in #ubuntu-mythtv and we can sort this out in there okay, this isn't the proper area |
| 12:41 | <jarle> | superm1: on my way :) |
| 12:50 | <reynaldo> | superm1: not at all, I'd like to ask you how to proceed at deb packaging a single plugin or a few |
| 12:50 | <superm1> | reynaldo, come join in #ubuntu-mythtv-dev |
| 12:50 | <superm1> | we can discuss there |
| 12:51 | <reynaldo> | thanks |
| 12:55 | <okolsi> | hmm... reg #4536, the coloring works now but playbackbox still cannot recover from the problem |
| 12:55 | <okolsi> | frontend log shows that zero byte recording error.. |
| 12:56 | <okolsi> | I'm sure I get bad karma if I still re-open the ticket ;) |
| 13:01 | <justinh> | reynaldo: none of the SoC projects got finished. well, I think we could maybe say one was finished eventually .. the mythweather revamp |

| 13:03 | <reynaldo> | allthought it is my first decoder so it was quite an adventure |
| 13:03 | <justinh> | after today I can relate to the settings thing being much harder than it sounded |

| 13:17 | <justinh> | gbee: hate to say this but I had to give up on mythappearance today. I just can't get my head around the setup menu code |
| 13:18 | <gbee> | :/ |
| 13:18 | <justinh> | I had another crack at it, but I'm plainly missing the ability to properly follow what other code which uses setup menu buttons is doing |
| 13:19 | <gbee> | I'll take a look if I get the time, though I'm not entirely sure where I'd stick it in the order of things, maybe it deserves it's own menu entry under Setup somewhere |
| 13:19 | <justinh> | and more importantly, not able to tell how it's defined in the header |
| 13:19 | <justinh> | I have the feeling that if I'd got it to work at all it'd have been a fluke & would've needed cleaning up big style |
| 13:20 | <justinh> | that said, I've only given up on it today. i'll get some printouts & sit down with a cuppa & have a good read & make notes |
| 13:21 | <justinh> | I hate giving up, and if this beats me what chance do I stand doing all the other cool stuff I wanna do? ;) |

| 13:22 | <gbee> | just took me time to become comfortable with mythtv's code |
| 13:23 | <justinh> | it's not what I'd have called a big job til I saw the code properly. I think my method was ok, just classifying it properly in the header was what tripped me up |
| 13:25 | <justinh> | can't think of any other 'easy-ish' jobs I had on my list right now. maybe that conflict textarea. should be a doddle that one |
| 13:25 | <gbee> | need to sort out that mythui popup theme |
| 13:26 | <gbee> | maybe I'll do that tonight, take a break from what I've been doing every other night |
| 13:26 | <justinh> | I have a couple of themes I'm promised to try to get out in time for 0.21 for somebody |
| 13:26 | <gbee> | just have to decide what style we're going to settle on for the default images |
| 13:27 | <justinh> | maybe just plain with rounded corners, translucent dark. no shiny shiny |
| 13:28 | <Anduin> | So... code freeze is on the 1st? |
| 13:28 | <laga> | of february? |
| 13:28 | <justinh> | is it? |
| 13:28 | <gbee> | guess so, but that would be a shame as I wanted to get the xmltv api config stuff done for 0.21, I just got distracted with mythui :( |
| 13:28 | <Anduin> | That was one of the targets put out there, with Feb being only fixing bugs |
| 13:30 | <gbee> | still think 1st Feb is a good target for a feature freeze, mid-Feb for a possible RC release and end of Feb for the full release |
| 13:30 | <justinh> | zoiks |
| 13:31 | <justinh> | better get my arse in gear & decide which themes go byebyes & tart up the remainder to work with trunk |
| 13:31 | <justinh> | (of mine, I mean) |
| 13:31 | <gbee> | I'd like more time, but I've been advocating setting a date and then sticking to it for months, so I'd be a hypocrite if I requested a delay |
| 13:32 | <Anduin> | I'd prefer Jan 4th as the freeze (giving the weekend), if it is the 1st I'll just expand what a bug fix is. |
| 13:32 | <gbee> | works for me |
| 13:32 | <gbee> | assuming Jan=Feb |
| 13:33 | <justinh> | would a plugin still needing to be integrated be called a bug or a feature? ;) |
| 13:33 | <Anduin> | Yeah, soon is needed, sticking with Marchish for release is good. |
| 13:33 | <Anduin> | err, yes Feb (just typed the month name from the calendar) |
| 13:34 | <superm1> | good that will make for less exceptions that need to be filed with us |
| 13:34 | <superm1> | and easier to get 0.21 in hardy |
| 13:34 | <gbee> | Anduin: any features we don't get into 0.21 just enhances the case for us setting the 0.22 date earlier |
| 13:34 | <justinh> | superm1: how many downloads of blootube do you get? the 4:3 one? |

| 13:40 | <gbee> | reynaldo: with libmyth, use draworders |
| 13:40 | <justinh> | damn I was planning to revamp some default theme images too. doesn't leave much time |
| 13:40 | <gbee> | or put the image in as part of the button background, assuming that the image won't ever change |
| 13:41 | <justinh> | see what the weekend brings, wifey's away so it'll be compute compute compute :) |
| 13:41 | <gbee> | in mythui it's a lot easier |
| 13:41 | <reynaldo> | gbee: the image do changes, each time you press the button the lang and his associated flag changes, both for the button 'label' so to speak |
| 13:41 | <reynaldo> | that way i dont fill the screen with lang buttons |
| 13:41 | <gbee> | justinh: you've got a month, which I appreciate isn't _that_ long |
| 13:41 | <reynaldo> | and its more scalable, you could end up having quite some supported langs |
| 13:42 | <gbee> | reynaldo: use a seperate image on top of the button then |
| 13:42 | <reynaldo> | gbee: yup, I'm loking for the correct xml element |
| 13:42 | <justinh> | dunno what's wrong with having a button which takes you to a separate page with all the langs on but hey it's not my funeral |
| 13:42 | <reynaldo> | finding out its methods is wasy with the doxygen docs |
| 13:43 | <reynaldo> | justinh: i like this method better |
| 13:43 | <justinh> | heh fairy nuff :) |
| 13:43 | <reynaldo> | :) |
| 13:43 | <justinh> | oh man. been a fscking expensive day off today. just shy of £500 |
| 13:43 | <gbee> | ouch |
| 13:44 | <justinh> | damn car tax. damn car infact |
| 13:44 | <reynaldo> | he, I dont drive a car |
| 13:44 | <reynaldo> | saves me from that kind of suffering |
| 13:44 | <reynaldo> | :-) |
| 13:44 | * | gbee either, too damn expensive |
| 13:44 | <justinh> | service, mot, 2 new tyres, fuel filter.. then £1180 road fund duty oof |
| 13:44 | <justinh> | er £180 |
| 13:44 | -!- | greend139 [n=greend13@192.133.12.110] has quit [] |
| 13:45 | <justinh> | it's cheaper than travelling by train to work, or working locally |
| 13:45 | <justinh> | though sometimes I really do wish I only worked ina supermarket |
| 13:45 | <MrGandalf> | Can anyone confiirm "Jump to Program" from within LiveTV is broken in trunk? |
| 13:45 | <reynaldo> | justinh: but you wanting a new window instead of a button with switching labels makes me realize you might even be considering changing the car for a truck ;) |
| 13:45 | <reynaldo> | :* |
| 13:45 | <justinh> | reynaldo: just thinking the user might tire of pressing the button ;) |
| 13:46 | <justinh> | or overshoot by pressing too many times if they're in a hurry |
| 13:47 | <reynaldo> | all valid points I'm afraid |
| 13:47 | <reynaldo> | what can I say |
| 13:47 | <reynaldo> | :-) |
| 13:47 | <gbee> | yeah, depends on circumstances - trains can be expensive too, though even when I was travelling to uni by train it was still cheaper than running a car (factoring in cost of purchase, maintainance, tax, fuel, insurance, parking and fines etc) |

| 13:53 | <reynaldo> | is that right? |
| 13:53 | <reynaldo> | i mean, do myth have that many translations ? |
| 13:53 | <superm1> | gbee, with an impending upcoming freeze, sooner rather than later could you change the library versions from the current 0.20 that they're getting during builds to 0.21? A new package will have to make it through for reflecting the change (eg ./usr/lib/libmythtv-0.20.so.0.20.0 should be getting ./usr/lib/libmythtv-0.21.so.0.21.0) |

| 14:34 | <Cardoe> | aren't you guys going to gcc 4.3 |
| 14:34 | <Cardoe> | well never mind.. that won't work for you |
| 14:34 | <superm1> | 4.2.3 is the release i'm seeing us on right now |
| 14:36 | <Cardoe> | One of the flags I was wondering about was --enable-gpl |
| 14:36 | <Cardoe> | Have to see if enabling that by default helps or hurts |
| 14:36 | <superm1> | isn't it disabled? |
| 14:36 | <superm1> | via a BLOCK_QUOTE thing in configure? |
| 14:36 | <superm1> | along with a whole lot of other ffmpeg stuff that I saw yesterday |
| 14:37 | <Cardoe> | it defaults to disabled but I thought it controlled something |
| 14:37 | <Cardoe> | that whole config script is a mess |
| 14:38 | <superm1> | i was wondering why a whole lot of that new stuff with the new ffmpeg checkout was disabled |
| 14:38 | <superm1> | disabled from modification that is |
| 14:40 | <superm1> | Cardoe, are you adjusting it in your builds to re-enable the possibility of modifying that stuff? |
| 14:40 | <Cardoe> | hmm? |

| 16:56 | <gbee> | that's one of the details that can be discussed though, I'm just looking to establish some basic guidance on what we should be doing with mythui from the beginning |
| 16:57 | <gbee> | mythui offers proper mouse support, so it seems logical to implement that properly and with maximum benefits from day one |
| 16:58 | <jams> | gbee- if i wanted to add a popup in the main menu, is libmythui/mythmainwindow.cpp the correct place for such a thing? |
| 16:58 | <gbee> | for me, mouse support means touchscreens and touchscreen navigation would seem to require some way to exit from pages, therefore we need exit buttons |
| 16:59 | <gbee> | jams: use mythdialogbox and place it in myththemedmenu.cpp |
| 16:59 | <jams> | thanks |
| 16:59 | <gbee> | well ... actually, it may depend |
| 16:59 | <Chutt> | or just a defined 'right->left == back' gesture |

| 17:13 | <jams> | heh ok |
| 17:14 | <gbee> | if the popup is only to appear in the menus, then that's where you want it |
| 17:14 | <jams> | now to sort through it all |
| 17:14 | <jams> | yes i only want it shown on the menu |
| 17:15 | <gbee> | jams: should be reasonably simple, look at mythappearance for an implementation of mythdialogbox and then connect it to a keypress in MythThemedMenu::keyHandler |
| 17:17 | <gbee> | you'll need to add a customevent handler to MythThemedMenu, just like the one in MythAppearance, but you can get 90% of the way there just by copy/paste |

| 17:23 | <gbee> | I'd offer to write the patch for you, but my copy of myththemedmenu has been changed beyond recognition and diffing/reverting etc is a hassle |
| 17:23 | <jams> | i see, was looking at pre mythui for mythappearance |
| 17:24 | <gbee> | even so, if you want I'm still happy to do it |
| 17:25 | <jams> | think i'm ok for now. Who knows i might even have a patch for you =) |
| 17:28 | <gbee> | :) |
| 17:29 | <jams> | would trigger the menu via keyHandler ? |
| 17:29 | <gbee> | yup |
| 17:29 | <jams> | cool think i got everything then |
| 17:30 | <jams> | may not be useful to others, but i'm adding a "turn off" button + a few others to the menu. |
| 17:30 | <gbee> | trying to think of a clever way of allowing MythListButton to accept focus yet still return the consituent MythUIButton instead when we call GetChildAt() |
| 17:31 | <gbee> | we need it to accept focus for keyboard navigation, but for mouse support it's a lot easier if we get the actual button that's been pressed and not the list itself |
| 17:31 | <jams> | yeah i'm aware of the shutdown buttons when you try to exit myth, but I have myth configured to not allow an exit. |
| 17:33 | <gbee> | jams: I'm not arguing, sounds like a good idea to me - I don't want 'Escape' to leave the frontend, but using the existing Menu button on the remote to call up some shutdown/restart options sounds good to me |
| 17:33 | <jams> | exactly |
| 17:34 | <gbee> | so good, that I said so twice ;) |
| 17:44 | * | gbee makes GetChildAt() virtual, the simplest solution is usually the last one you think of |

| 18:09 | <reynaldo> | sphery, gbee, justinh thanks for the help |
| 18:09 | <reynaldo> | yes I'd like the code to get eventually to upstream |

| 18:10 | <reynaldo> | sphery: I think I will do the tz change and see what happens |
| 18:11 | <reynaldo> | can a backend and one of its frontends be in different timezones anyway ? |

| 18:15 | <reynaldo> | gbee: I'm not getting them from the database, these are harcoded UTF8 strings in the .cpp file |
| 18:15 | <reynaldo> | sphery: he, I found myself something to fix then :| |
| 18:15 | <gbee> | reynaldo: try using fromUTF8() - See QString in the QT docs |
| 18:16 | <gbee> | that will convert UTF8() strings to unicode |

| 18:52 | <superm1> | xris, okay so i won't have to bother packaging anything extra for it then right? |
| 18:52 | <superm1> | are there any additional dependencies that I should be adding to mythweb for it to be functional? |
| 18:52 | <xris> | I just wanted caskater4 to get the code into svn so other people could see it pre-compiled |

| 19:47 | <Chutt> | like if i go to the /tv/ dir, it remembers the last section i was in on the previous visit |
| 19:48 | <Chutt> | ie, right now it's trying to load the recorded programs list |
| 19:48 | <xris> | really? didn't know that. lol... |
| 19:48 | <Chutt> | ah |
| 19:48 | <Chutt> | hah |
| 19:48 | <xris> | would probably have to kill the code that checks |
| 19:48 | <Chutt> | ah well, i'll just bookmark /tv/listings/ instead |
| 19:49 | <Chutt> | it's just a little confusing :p |
| 19:51 | <kormoc> | huh |
| 19:52 | <kormoc> | I don't have that behaviour in mine |
| 19:53 | <kormoc> | oh wait, there it goes |
| 20:09 | <reynaldo> | any way to make a given mythconverge setting to be applied to the current session, sort of a 'reload config' action? |
| 20:11 | <sphery> | change the setting and issue a ClearCache() (name might be off). Also, mythbackend --clearcache |
| 20:12 | <sphery> | MythContext::ClearSettingsCache() |
| 20:15 | <reynaldo> | sphery: thanks a lot. |
| 20:15 | <sphery> | For doing the actual backup of the mythconverg database before schema updates, what would be the best approach? Execute mysqldump? Implement a "poor-man's" mysqldump in Myth code? (BTW, I have a handle on the locking issues, thanks to Captain_Murdoch.) |
| 20:16 | <sphery> | BACKUP TABLE is deprecated (and simply copies the binary files, anyway). mysqlhotcopy copies the binary files. IMHO, the backup should be a "portable" (across MySQL versions/installs) SQL file. |
| 20:22 | <GreyFoxx> | Maybe check out the Mysql Load Data File syntax? |
| 20:24 | <GreyFoxx> | http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/load-data.html |
| 20:24 | <GreyFoxx> | I thought there was another to output a table./content to it as well |
| 20:24 | <reynaldo> | sphery: whats the point of SetSetting(key, value) if you need to call ClearSettingsCache ? |
| 20:25 | <reynaldo> | I mean, ClearSettingsCache(key, value) |
| 20:25 | <sphery> | The SELECT ... INTO OUTFILE would have the MySQL server write out the file, so it would be written with the perms/ownership of the user running mysqld. |
| 20:25 | <reynaldo> | sounds redundant, maybe I'm just missing something? |
| 20:26 | <reynaldo> | also, it doesn't work :D, setting not only doesn't get applied but is overwritted next time I fire up mythfrontend |
| 20:30 | <sphery> | reynaldo: originally, there was no settings cache, so any updated setting was applied immediately. Someone (don't remember who) implemented a settings cache to speed up myth. Rather than make SetSetting() clear the cache every time, ClearSettingsCache() is called separately to allow you to modify multiple settings at once more efficiently or to modify settings for which the settings cache doesn't need to be reloaded. |
| 20:31 | <GreyFoxx> | Captain_Murdoch added it |
| 20:31 | <jams> | sphery- something to keep in mind loadfile requires an extra bit of setup for mysql. |
| 20:31 | <GreyFoxx> | grant file for the user? |
| 20:31 | <jams> | but it is very useful |
| 20:31 | <jams> | that and load-infile needs to be specified in my.cnf |
| 20:32 | <GreyFoxx> | ahhh ok |
| 20:32 | <GreyFoxx> | I've only rarely used it |
| 20:32 | <GreyFoxx> | musta forgot that bit |
| 20:32 | <jams> | didn't need that in 4 but 5 needs it because it was considered a security hole |
| 20:33 | <jams> | I use it for my template/profile stuff |
| 20:34 | <sphery> | reynaldo: Hmmm. it looks like SetSetting() does call ClearSettingsCache(). Don't know why it's not working for you. Perhaps a global versus host-based setting thing? |

| 20:35 | <sphery> | jams: Yeah, I figure our best bet is to write out the file as the user running mythtv so perms/ownership is OK and so there's no mysql config requirement (a backup functionality that always fails is worse than just saying there is no backup functionality :). |
| 20:36 | <jams> | good idea, just as long we make it known that extra flag might be needed. |

| 20:37 | <reynaldo_> | did I miss any answer ? |

| 20:53 | <reynaldo_> | wait, http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/MythPlugin_Architecture says i should be using SaveSetting |

| 20:56 | <reynaldo_> | only problem is .. new setting doesn't seem to get applied till next program execution |
| 20:57 | <sphery> | I thought that's what you were using to change it. SaveSettingOnHost() calls ClearSettingsCache() (and SaveSetting() calls SaveSettingOnHost()), so it should work. |
| 20:59 | <sphery> | There are definitely a lot of examples of SaveSetting being used in the code. |

| 21:46 | <reynaldo> | Ok, lang set problem solved, now into the real deal |
| 21:46 | <reynaldo> | is EIT data TZ dependant? ie, would two guys with different timezones get different data for the same channel ? |
| 21:47 | <reynaldo> | or is this data just channel dependant ? |
| 21:50 | <sphery> | listings are stored in local time, so... |
| 21:50 | <sphery> | remember my "much work" comment? |
| 21:51 | <reynaldo> | local to who? the broadcaster or the given mythtv instance ? |
| 21:51 | <reynaldo> | sphery: kinda |
| 21:51 | <jams> | sphery- so EIT contains timezone info, or is given in UTC ? |
| 21:52 | <jams> | by timezone info I mean the offset to UTC |
| 21:53 | <reynaldo> | sphery: I didn't quite get the meaning of that 'much work' comment |
| 21:53 | <reynaldo> | should sharpen my english for sarcasm I guess |
| 21:53 | <sphery> | stored using the system's local time, so using the current timezone set for the system |
| 21:53 | <reynaldo> | :-) |
| 21:54 | <reynaldo> | ok, and its this data stored in periodic burst ? |
| 21:54 | <reynaldo> | stored/updated |
| 21:55 | <sphery> | For EIT, yes, it's updated periodically, but I don't know anything of EIT (as it's not very useful here). |
| 21:56 | <reynaldo> | ok, one last one |
| 21:56 | <reynaldo> | do you know if there is a programatic way to refetch/update the EIT data? |
| 21:56 | <reynaldo> | as I'm modifiying the client's timezone |
| 21:57 | <reynaldo> | I guess EIT data will be all fskd up after the change |
| 21:57 | <reynaldo> | oh, wait .. is this data meant to be collected by the backend ? |
| 21:57 | <reynaldo> | if so .. I'm close to really-fskd-up :D |
| 21:58 | <jams> | yes it's collected by the backend |
| 21:58 | <reynaldo> | unless I change both, now I remember your comment sphery |
| 21:58 | <reynaldo> | I guess thats what's needed |
| 21:58 | <sphery> | Yes, it's collected by the backend. I don't know how (or if it's possible) to force a refresh--as I think it just does it "all the time". |

| 22:00 | <sphery> | GreyFoxx: I finally figured out the FILE grant, reset my root password so I could grant it, and did a SELECT ... INTO OUTFILE. Seems it's just a tab-delimited text file. |
| 22:02 | <sphery> | Doing backups like that would require one file per table (or some special mechanism for importing). |
| 22:02 | <sphery> | I'm leaning back toward the SQL-based INSERT statements. |
| 22:06 | <sphery> | If performance isn't too bad, I think I'll just do a loop over all tables and "SHOW CREATE TABLE ..." and "SELECT *" (converted to "INSERT INTO") to create my own mythsqldump ;) function. Though it will take longer to restore, it will be much more user-friendly for a restore, and chances are users who are in need of the backup won't be concerned about MySQL taking an hour or two (unattended) to restore the DB and get them back to a ... |
| 22:06 | <sphery> | ... working state. |
| 22:07 | <kormoc> | sphery, you can also do stuff like turning off indexes for the inserts and thus only one index build at the end |
| 22:07 | <sphery> | Yeah. I'll leave that for the advanced MySQL users, since Myth won't be doing the restores. :) |
| 22:08 | <sphery> | You wouldn't happen to have any better ideas for creating the actual backup, would you? (I happen to know your MySQL knowledge is >> mine.) |
| 22:08 | <kormoc> | the other option is to shell out to mysql dump, given you know the user/pass/host/dbname |
| 22:10 | <sphery> | Yeah. That's the other option I'm considering. |
| 22:10 | <sphery> | I'll probably test both to compare performance. |
| 22:12 | <sphery> | If the "do-it-myself" approach isn't significantly worse, I may go with that just to keep the user/pass/... headaches out of it. |
| 22:12 | <kormoc> | One thing to consider is with all these dump methods, you have the issue of referential data integrity. When you dump table y, table z gets updated to point at y, and y's record is missing |
| 22:12 | <kormoc> | It shouldn't be too bad. |
| 22:13 | <sphery> | I thought that would only be an issue with foreign keys (and I didn't think MySQL supports them)? |
| 22:13 | <sphery> | i.e. for all MySQL knows they're just a bunch of independent tables. |
| 22:13 | <kormoc> | innodb sure does support foreign keys, but I mean just pointing |
| 22:13 | <kormoc> | they are |
| 22:13 | <sphery> | so you're talking more about locking the tables to get consistent data? |
| 22:14 | <kormoc> | write-locks are the only way, but for long dumps, they don't really work too well |
| 22:14 | <kormoc> | but yeah |
| 22:14 | <kormoc> | it's just something to keep in mind. I don't really know of any (sane) ways to fix it |
| 22:15 | <sphery> | I was planning on piggy-backing on Captain_Murdoch's code he uses to "lock" the DB during DB schema upgrades. |
| 22:15 | <kormoc> | other then shutting down myself and copying the raw db files or setting up replication to a dumpable slave |

| 22:15 | <sphery> | Basically, it should keep all backends and clients from touching the DB while I'm backing it up. |
| 22:15 | <Snow-Man> | erm... |
| 22:15 | -!- | Guyfromhe [i=Guyfromh@S0106deadbeefcafe.wp.shawcable.net] has left #mythtv [] |
| 22:15 | <sphery> | (since, initially, the backup will be performed only on startup when a DB update is occurring, locking for a "long" time shouldn't be an issue) |
| 22:16 | <kormoc> | sphery, it takes my box around 1:25 to do a mysqldump, is it okay to lock for that long? |
| 22:16 | * | Snow-Man is curious what ya'll are talking about. :) |
| 22:16 | <sphery> | you mean 1 minute 25 seconds? |
| 22:16 | <kormoc> | sphery, aye |
| 22:17 | <sphery> | I figure that's fine. There won't be any recordings occurring because the system is just being brought up. |
| 22:17 | <Snow-Man> | Why would you need anything more than a read lock for a backup..? |
| 22:17 | <sphery> | and upgraded to the next DB schema version. |
| 22:17 | <Snow-Man> | And real databases have this neat feature called 'PITR'.. I think it came around in the '90s. |
| 22:17 | -!- | HReadren [n=HRearden@c-75-66-165-142.hsd1.tn.comcast.net] has joined #mythtv |
| 22:17 | <Snow-Man> | ah, doing a DB schema revision is a bit more challenging. |
| 22:18 | <Snow-Man> | Is there no update script to move from one schema to the other in the database? |
| 22:18 | <Snow-Man> | dumping it all out and then reimporting doesn't seem terribly.. efficient. |
| 22:18 | <sphery> | Eventually, I'll modify the housekeeper to allow checking whether anyone is watching TV/recordings and how much leadtime we have before any recordings and, if sufficient time exists, do an automatic backup. |
| 22:18 | <kormoc> | sphery, fair 'nuff |
| 22:18 | * | kormoc nods |
| 22:19 | <sphery> | But I at least want the pre-schema-upgrade backup code available for consideration for inclusion in 0.21 |
| 22:19 | <Snow-Man> | sphery: PITR is awesome for just handling your regular backup situations... |
| 22:19 | <sphery> | (so I'm keeping it simple to start with) |
| 22:19 | * | sphery guesses you don't mean the Pitr on Userfriendly... |
| 22:19 | <Snow-Man> | ah, no.. |
| 22:20 | <Snow-Man> | point-in-time-recovery |
| 22:20 | <kormoc> | Snow-Man, during real usage, a read lock for 1:30 while recording would kinda suck, given we're writing to the db quite often |

| 22:20 | <kormoc> | Snow-Man, sadly myisam doesn't support it, does it? |
| 22:20 | <Snow-Man> | kormoc: Why would a read lock affect writing? |
| 22:20 | <kormoc> | a read lock only allows reading |
| 22:20 | <Snow-Man> | uh, no.. |
| 22:20 | <Snow-Man> | :) |
| 22:21 | <kormoc> | "If a thread obtains a READ lock on a table, that thread (and all other threads) can only read from the table." |
| 22:21 | <kormoc> | http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/lock-tables.html |
| 22:21 | <kormoc> | welcome to the world of mysql :P |
| 22:21 | <Snow-Man> | kormoc: I doubt myisam supports it, but then, if you care about your data, mysql isn't the place to put it. :) |
| 22:21 | <kormoc> | innodb isn't that bad, and does support it (with innohotcopy/innohotbackup) |
| 22:22 | <Snow-Man> | kormoc: ah, yes, the wonderful table-locking of mysql. I thought innodb supported the things any decent DBA takes for granted? |
| 22:22 | <Snow-Man> | Doesn't it do MVCC and row-level locking? |
| 22:22 | <Snow-Man> | (innodb) |
| 22:22 | <kormoc> | Aye, it does |
| 22:22 | <Snow-Man> | so, like, why not use that? :) |
| 22:23 | <kormoc> | all I know is myth uses myisam, I don't know who or why that decision was made :) |
| 22:23 | <Snow-Man> | (not that I'm really advocating mysql.. PostgreSQL would be a much better choice, but mythtv kinda blows in that regard) |
| 22:23 | <Snow-Man> | Is there actually stuff that depends on myisam? That'd be... creepy. |
| 22:23 | <sphery> | I know some users have switched theirs to InnoDB. Is there any code in Myth that would prevent using a different storage engine? |
| 22:24 | <kormoc> | mysql has some stuff (like fulltext indexes), but I don't know if myth uses them offhand |
| 22:24 | <Snow-Man> | It's bad enough that there's all that garbage mysql syntax used. :/ |
| 22:24 | <Snow-Man> | oh, pah, there's no *good* reason for myth to be mysql-only, except that Chutt's lazy and doesn't want to put in the effort |
| 22:25 | <sphery> | I agree with the "choose one DBMS and stick with it" approach. |
| 22:25 | <Snow-Man> | And he always bitches about how myth shouldn't have a full-fledged DB behind it anyway.. :P |
| 22:25 | <Snow-Man> | sphery: For an infrastructure, perhaps, for an application, no. |
| 22:25 | <kormoc> | Snow-Man, well, everyone is lazy, given very few people bother to submit patches to fix it |
| 22:25 | <Snow-Man> | kormoc: Submitting patches isn't going to help if you don't get people to use proper syntax. |
| 22:25 | <Captain_Murdoch> | sphery: when you do the backups, you should store the start and stop times like mythfilldatabase runs, that way you know how long a backup takes and can account for that later when the housekeeper runs backups. |
| 22:26 | <sphery> | good plan... |
| 22:26 | <Snow-Man> | I actually started work on a PG-port a while ago, but there's nasty stuff scattered everywhere... :( |
| 22:26 | <Snow-Man> | Most of it w/o any particularly good reason. |
| 22:26 | <Snow-Man> | (to be written in mysql-ease as opposed to sql) |
| 22:27 | <sphery> | I was thinking of just choosing some arbitrarily huge lead time, but I can do a lead time based on previous run with engineering factor (x3 or more :). |
| 22:27 | <kormoc> | mythweb mostly runs on oracle and postgres :P |

| 22:27 | <kormoc> | there was a few small areas that was broke, but nothing to major to fix |
| 22:27 | <xris> | kormoc: not surprising |
| 22:27 | <Snow-Man> | maybe I'll take another look at myth |
| 22:27 | <Captain_Murdoch> | sphery: mainly to account for situations where people's backups take a really long time for whatever reason. |
| 22:28 | <Snow-Man> | I really need to actually get it up and running again tho, heh. |
| 22:28 | <kormoc> | sphery, Captain_Murdoch, does the housekeeping thread take into account generic system usage/idleness? |
| 22:28 | <xris> | Snow-Man: mysql does a lot of things that pg/oracle can't... I run into mysqlisms all the time at my new job, which uses pg. |
| 22:28 | <sphery> | Yeah. I'm planning to start with a backup-on-db-upgrade-only version of the patch. The housekeeper/backup job stuff will come in later. |
| 22:28 | <Captain_Murdoch> | kormoc: no |
| 22:28 | <kormoc> | say if a lot of IO is going on, the backup is going to take a lot longer |
| 22:28 | <Snow-Man> | xris: erm, like what? |
| 22:28 | <sphery> | kormoc: after the patch I have in mind, it could be made to very easily... |
| 22:29 | <Snow-Man> | xris: Accept 'feb 31st' as a valid date? |
| 22:29 | <xris> | insert ... set |
| 22:30 | <xris> | can't remember any more off hand |
| 22:30 | <xris> | brain's too fried from 10 hours of perl code cleanup |
| 22:30 | <Snow-Man> | uh, insert into blah values (1,2,3),(4,5,6),(7,8,9); works just fine in PG. |
| 22:30 | <Snow-Man> | In fact, it imports mysqldump's just fine. |
| 22:30 | <kormoc> | it's just syntax wars really |
| 22:30 | <Snow-Man> | And I think generally does it faster than mysql, heh. |
| 22:31 | <kormoc> | Snow-Man, sadly, not on my box. Postgresql is noticeably slower then mysql's inno. It's not that bad, but it's there |
| 22:31 | <Snow-Man> | of course, w/ PG you can also join against VALUES. |
| 22:31 | <kormoc> | Snow-Man, example? that's one I'm not sure if I've seen |
| 22:32 | <Snow-Man> | kormoc: I'd be curious about how you have it configured then, since it's probably wrong. :) |
| 22:32 | <sphery> | If myth ever does get multiple-DBMS support, I don't think the devs will have time to write code with all the testing they'd be doing. |
| 22:32 | <Snow-Man> | kormoc: select * from table a join (values (true),(false)) on true; |
| 22:32 | <Snow-Man> | things like that |
| 22:32 | <kormoc> | Snow-Man, it's practically just defaults, as I only really toy with postgreasql and oracle. |
| 22:32 | <kormoc> | hrm |
| 22:32 | <Snow-Man> | I actually find it really handy to have small short-cut mappings |
| 22:32 | <Snow-Man> | like: |
| 22:33 | <Snow-Man> | select a.person,b.column2 from tab1 a join (values (1,2),(2,2),(3,2)) on (a.x = b.column1); |
| 22:34 | <Snow-Man> | kormoc: see, values is a top-level command in PG. :) |
| 22:34 | <Snow-Man> | you can also just do: |
| 22:34 | <Snow-Man> | values (1,2),(3,4); |
| 22:34 | <Snow-Man> | And you'll get a 2-column, 2-row result as if you select'd something. |
| 22:35 | <kormoc> | yeah, can't have more then one column in mysql |
| 22:35 | <Snow-Man> | kormoc: The defaults for PG are menat for a 386. |
| 22:35 | <Snow-Man> | erm, meant |
| 22:35 | <kormoc> | erm, multiple rows |
| 22:35 | <Snow-Man> | I mean, seriously, they're absolutely terrible for any modern system. |
| 22:35 | <kormoc> | fair 'nuff |
| 22:35 | <Snow-Man> | It's been a definite point of frustration, heh. |
| 22:35 | <kormoc> | Yeah, I've run into issues where multiple rows would be handy |
| 22:36 | <kormoc> | I've sometimes been able to use UNION to do similar things :P |
| 22:36 | <Snow-Man> | It's not that hard to fix up the defaults, but there are people out there who seem to think they can do performance testing on a default install. |
| 22:36 | <Snow-Man> | kormoc: that's kind of fugly. :) |
| 22:36 | <kormoc> | ooh, it is, but it does work at times :P |
| 22:37 | <Snow-Man> | heh. |
| 22:37 | <kormoc> | my oracle install is dog slow too, but I know I haven't tuned that anywhere close to a good speed |
| 22:38 | <Snow-Man> | pah, oracle requires an f'in degree to tune properly anyway |
| 22:38 | <Snow-Man> | I should know, I used to do it. :/ |
| 22:39 | <sphery> | kormoc: Do you know if a mysqldump backup takes care of indices for you? |
| 22:39 | <Snow-Man> | kormoc: you should definitely bump up work_mem, maintenance_work_mem, and shared_buffers, at least. |
| 22:39 | <Snow-Man> | for PG that is |
| 22:39 | <kormoc> | sphery, with the correct flags, it will |
| 22:39 | <sphery> | i.e. if you restore from a mysqldump dump using "mysql ... < backup.sql", are indices re-created? |
| 22:39 | <kormoc> | Snow-Man, kk, I'll poke at those and see what happens |
| 22:39 | <xris> | sphery: depends on how you made the dump |
| 22:39 | * | sphery wonders if he's lost all his indices |
| 22:40 | <Snow-Man> | kormoc: also up the number of wal segments |
| 22:40 | <kormoc> | sphery, ahh, yeah, they're part of the create-table |
| 22:40 | <Snow-Man> | if you're doing alot of writing |
| 22:40 | <Snow-Man> | (it'll actually bitch in the logs if it's recycling wal files too quickly, heh) |
| 22:40 | <sphery> | ahh, yeah. I see them, now. I was looking for something separate. |
| 22:40 | <Snow-Man> | kormoc: You should also make sure you're doing vacuuming and whatnot properly if you're updating/changing your tables a bunch. |
| 22:40 | <Snow-Man> | And doing analyze's when things change in some significant way. |
| 22:41 | <kormoc> | Snow-Man, hrm, I'm not sure I have been |
| 22:41 | <Snow-Man> | kormoc: Any clue what version you're running? |
| 22:41 | <Snow-Man> | I'd recommend 8.2, of course, though 8.3 will probably be out within a week. |

| 22:42 | <sphery> | thx |
| 22:42 | <Snow-Man> | these are stupidly small. |
| 22:42 | <kormoc> | Snow-Man, 8.0.15 |
| 22:42 | <Snow-Man> | ouch. |
| 22:42 | <Snow-Man> | That's better than 7.4, but still |
| 22:43 | <kormoc> | sphery, of course some of the flags are unlikely needed (--all-databases --comments, etc) |
| 22:43 | <sphery> | Nice. You have your backup script in SVN with Trac... |
| 22:43 | <Snow-Man> | work_mem should really be at least 8M, and I'd usually recommend 16M or 32M unless you've got alot of stuff going on. |
| 22:44 | <kormoc> | sphery, heh, yeah, I'm slowly migrating all my misc stuff into SVN, it's quite useful |
| 22:44 | <Snow-Man> | maint work_mem bumped to at least 64M, unless you box only has 128M or something insane |
| 22:44 | <Captain_Murdoch> | sphery: also, when you name the backup file when you are doing it before a schema upgrade, you may want to put the current schema version in the filename. |
| 22:44 | <sphery> | I've been saying I was going to do that for almost 8 years, now. Hasn't been too high on the priority list. |
| 22:44 | <Captain_Murdoch> | or just put that in all filenames |
| 22:44 | <kormoc> | Snow-Man, 2 gigs of ram, currently around 1.1g free (cached/buffers) |
| 22:44 | <Snow-Man> | I usually bump shared_buffers to at least 80M, but you may have to adjust your max shm segments in sysctl.conf |
| 22:45 | <Snow-Man> | kormoc: Any particular reason to stick w/ 8.0? |
| 22:45 | <Snow-Man> | PG's generally very decent about upgrades and whatnot |
| 22:45 | <kormoc> | Snow-Man, other then it's what was marked stable, not at all. I can migrate to 8.1.11 to 8.2.6 with ease, but I might just wait for 8.3 |
| 22:46 | <Snow-Man> | kormoc: yea, we're on 8.2.6 atm |
| 22:46 | <sphery> | Speaking of filenames, does someone who knows something about backup systems know what the OP was talking about in http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/mythtv/users/288057#288057 ? (Search for filename to find the location) |
| 22:46 | <Snow-Man> | 8.3's got some nice stuff tho |
| 22:47 | <Captain_Murdoch> | sphery: you mean the yyyymmddhhmmss?? |
| 22:47 | <sphery> | yeah--was he saying that should be the whole name, shouldn't be in the name, or ... |
| 22:47 | <Snow-Man> | gah, gzip --best? |
| 22:48 | <kormoc> | sphery, he likely was talking about rsnapshot (or similar) |
| 22:48 | <Snow-Man> | whoever it is definitely doesn't know diddly about backups. :) |
| 22:48 | <sphery> | lol |
| 22:48 | -!- | adante [n=adante@124-171-169-8.dyn.iinet.net.au] has quit [Connection timed out] |
| 22:48 | <Snow-Man> | seriously, best is like, ok, you might squeeze out another 4 bytes, if you work at it for 3 hours |
| 22:48 | <kormoc> | it takes snapshots via hardlinks so if the file stays the same, the second snapshot uses just whatever the hardlink uses |
| 22:48 | <sphery> | Better question, what would be the desired filename format for a backup? |
| 22:48 | <xris> | kormoc: I miss rsnapshot. |
| 22:49 | <Snow-Man> | bacula is pretty phatty, ime. |
| 22:49 | <kormoc> | but if the backups rotated, everytime the snapshot would run, it would see it a different file and thus use up more space |
| 22:49 | <kormoc> | xris, use it at home? :P |
| 22:49 | <Snow-Man> | We use it a fair bit at work. |
| 22:49 | <Snow-Man> | meh, hardlink trees are cute and all, but they can get to be a hassle.. |
| 22:50 | <Captain_Murdoch> | sphery: he's saying name the filename with the timestamp of the backup. so if I do a backup right now, the file is called 20080130224835 I'm saying add the schema version to that at the end, so something like 20080130224935_1196.sql |
| 22:50 | <Snow-Man> | and they don't help if you actually *modify* the file, or if those sectors on the disk suddenly disappear |
| 22:50 | <sphery> | no words on it? |
| 22:50 | <kormoc> | it's handy to go back in time to pull things |
| 22:50 | <xris> | kormoc: well, yes. it's saved me countless times at home... just not organized enough yet at work to get it implemented. |
| 22:50 | <sphery> | mythconver_20080130224935_1196.sql , perhaps? |

| 22:50 | <Captain_Murdoch> | yeah |
| 22:50 | <kormoc> | Snow-Man, well, rsnapshots' first snapshot is always a full one, so you always do have a full backup |
| 22:50 | <sphery> | ok, I'll even spell it right, though |
| 22:51 | <Snow-Man> | kormoc: I like my backups on *tape*.. :) |
| 22:51 | * | kormoc laughs |

| 22:52 | <kormoc> | I'm more of another server on the network type of guy |
| 22:52 | <Snow-Man> | heh, disk-based backups can be nice sometimes, but then I'd want some kind of RAID on the disks too |
| 22:53 | <Snow-Man> | but they'd have to be cheap disks, etc |
| 22:53 | <Snow-Man> | All of our production stuff is running on RAID-10 arrays. :) |
| 22:53 | <kormoc> | Heh, I happen to have raid on all my home systems, so it's not that much of a problem |

| 22:53 | <Snow-Man> | yeah, I do raid-1 at home generally. |
| 22:53 | <Snow-Man> | disks don't always match up tho, so I end up w/ stuff like: |
| 22:54 | <Snow-Man> | /dev/mapper/vg1-xtra 186G 8.5G 169G 5% /data3 |
| 22:54 | <Snow-Man> | actually, that's funny |

| 23:26 | <Captain_Murdoch> | I'm looking at the patch now, just finished recompiling. |
| 23:27 | <sphery> | HReadren: Did you see http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/mythtv/users/312900#312900 (and last post on the thread)? Might be a lot quicker than doing the scheduler patch you were working. |
| 23:28 | <Captain_Murdoch> | :) I made a copy of that post in a special mailbox I keep for ideas like that. |
| 23:29 | <sphery> | Yeah. I was quite impressed. I figured Bruce would be the only one who understood custom recordings well enough to do something like that... |
| 23:30 | <sphery> | He even has it updated with the join to prevent duplicate HDTV recordings. |
| 23:31 | <sphery> | Captain_Murdoch: I do have another question on the special groups. When I created my thumbnails group while testing the patch (uncommented it for some of the tests), I noticed that its directory (from my root partition--which I don't use for recordings) in the backend status output. |
| 23:32 | <sphery> | Do you think that the status page should only show the storage info for groups given in StorageGroup::getRecordingsGroups() or should it actually break out storage for special groups separately? |
| 23:34 | <Captain_Murdoch> | we probably should rework it some once we start using groups for MythVideo, etc.. Although, maybe that just means indicating what group types are on what disks, along with adding some stats per group type at the end. 'Recordings = blah used and blahblah free, LiveTV = etc., MythVide = etc.. haven't given it much thought, but we probably need to do something so the numbers don't get confusing. |
| 23:35 | <Captain_Murdoch> | I didn't understand the thumbnails question. I think you left something out in the last sentence. |
| 23:35 | <sphery> | Yeah. I guess that's easier to tackle once George submits his MythVideo patch. |

| 23:44 | <Captain_Murdoch> | well, it would be listed on the status page, all SG dirs are listed there. That's part of what we'll need to modify that I was talking about above. I'm lookin at autoexpire.cpp now to see what he's doing there. I don't think that would be affected by any new group because it looks at the encoders and the fsID they are recording to. The status page just lists all unique filesystems. in programs/mythbackend/backendutil.cpp, B |
| 23:44 | <Captain_Murdoch> | kSpace() does its own SQL Query to get the list of dirs. Those queries should probably exclude Thumbnails, but if we modify the status page to differentiate between the different group types then it might not matter. |
| 23:46 | <sphery> | Yeah. I was pretty sure janneg had changed it that way. I just switched back to this screen and was about to type in the same conclusion on BackendQueryDiskSpace(). :) |

| 23:50 | <sphery> | I think this is the specific changeset: http://svn.mythtv.org/trac/changeset/14901 |
| 23:51 | <Captain_Murdoch> | may need to extend the FileSystemInfo class to know about the group, but I haven't given that much if any thought. might require reworking a few things. |
| 23:52 | <sphery> | Did you happen to test what happens when an existing rule is set to use the LiveTV group and you enter the editor after the patch removes LiveTV from the list? |
| 23:52 | <sphery> | If not, I can do a quick test. |
| 23:53 | <Captain_Murdoch> | no, didn't test. I think the existing value will still show up in the list. |
| 23:53 | <sphery> | OK. I'll verify that it doesn't do any damage and get back to you. |
| 23:53 | <Captain_Murdoch> | ok |
| 23:54 | <sphery> | didn't think to test that before. |
| 23:54 | <Captain_Murdoch> | I'll be around for a few longer, but not much. have a dentist appt first thing in the morning. happy happy joy joy |
| 23:55 | <sphery> | I'll either leave a "no problems" message in scrollback or a ticket for you |
| 23:56 | <sphery> | Hmmmm. wakeonlan is much less useful when the NIC on your computer fails to init during bootup... Have to go manually reboot my dev box. |
| 23:56 | <Captain_Murdoch> | did you see that ticket or posts about the patch to add a filter on the Watch Recordings screen so you can toggle on/off the display of 'Watched' programs, so you can choose to list only unwatched? do you have any ideas about how to display to the user that they are only seeing the 'unwatched' programs, not the full list? |
| 23:57 | <Captain_Murdoch> | maybe change "All Programs" to "Unwatched Programs".. hmmm... "all unwatched programs" is too long. |
| 23:58 | <sphery> | Saw the ticket, but no ideas. I kind of ignored it as I know I'm anything but a usability expert. |

| 23:59 | <Captain_Murdoch> | still not sure whether I like my toggle method or his virtual group method better. I think I prefer the cleanliness of my filter, but need a way to differentiate to the user that they're only seeing unwatched stuff. so they don't freak out when they watch something and it disappears off the list. |
