| 02:18 | <Chutt> | hey, neat, i only have 118 tickets |
| 02:21 | <stuarta> | nice work ;-) |
| 02:21 | <Chutt> | bah |
| 02:21 | <Chutt> | i'm going to be much less busy after 3gsm next week |
| 02:22 | <Anduin> | hads: I didn't actually look at it, just read the description and remembered talking about it. |
| 02:23 | <hads> | Anduin: Cool, xris and I were wondering if you had an opinion since you were the one that commited it to start with. |
| 02:26 | -!- | purserj [n=purserj@k-sit.com] has joined #mythtv |
| 02:27 | <Anduin> | hads: I like things moving in that direction, but I have no strong opinions about it. I do think I'll add to it when it makes it in (so I can make some of the other scripts work like the new ofdb.py). |
| 02:28 | <hads> | Anduin: Cool, sounds good. |
| 02:30 | <hads> | Well if it goes in before the release that would be cool since it would be in the standard python path. I understand if it's too close to release to do though. |
| 02:31 | <Anduin> | Yeah, I'll be lucky if I get what I hope in 0.21, luckily you are depending on xris :) |
| 02:31 | <hads> | :) |
| 02:31 | <xris> | I can probably get it in before release.. I just don't know python... so if anduin says it's cool, I'll put it in |
| 02:32 | <xris> | and hads, if anduin trusts your code, I'll trust you to review the other guy's stuff |
| 02:32 | <Anduin> | If I have to say it is cool it means I have to look at it... I'll just stop being lazy and do it. |
| 02:32 | -!- | jhulst [n=jhulst@unaffiliated/jhulst] has quit [Remote closed the connection] |
| 02:32 | <hads> | I think it makes sense to move it before release since it hasn't been in a release so there shouldn't be anything depending on it theoretically. |

| 02:32 | <Anduin> | Besides, I haven't seen a new official freeze date :) |
| 02:33 | <Chutt> | was waiting on the audio patch to get in |
| 02:33 | <Chutt> | but that's having issues.. |
| 02:33 | <hads> | I didn't like that guy's last patch but I've noted that in the comments. |
| 02:35 | <hads> | Anduin: Basically the guy added mythlog which has a couple of classes in it and made some minor adjustments to MythDB to take arguments. Apart from that it's just moving around of the existing stuff. |
| 02:37 | <Anduin> | Yeah, I'll look it over, nothing uses it that I can't check for the release so I'm not going to worry, probably will not get to it until the weekend (still need to get the bjm menu fix done and in) |
| 02:38 | <hads> | Anduin: Cool, well if you do get a chance to look it over at some stage that'd be sweet. Thanks. |

| 04:39 | <kormoc> | Sure, I can do that. Where/how are the time formats defined in mythfrontend? |
| 04:40 | <gbee> | two settings DateFormat and ShortDateFormat |
| 04:41 | <gbee> | and TimeFormat |
| 04:42 | <gbee> | they are in QTs time/date structure, so we need to convert them to something PHP date() can recognise |

| 04:43 | <gbee> | if it has to wait until after 0.21, then so be it but it's bugged me for a while so I thought I would ask |
| 04:44 | <kormoc> | kk, I'll poke at it and see what I can do |
| 05:04 | <Anduin> | justinh: anything special you are doing to cause the crash? |

| 08:04 | <justinh> | skamithi: wb. missed you so didn't get a chance to suggest looking at contexts in mythappearance, mythmusic et al ;) |
| 08:05 | <justinh> | skamithi: it's not the end of the world if you don't bother - it'd just be nice to see less replication of common ui stuff in xml files. it's all gonna go way with mythui anyway |
| 08:07 | <skamithi> | justinh: thx for the tip about context. also thx for finding the viewscheduled mistake. dunno how i missed that. time to fix up whatever other mess i caused with [15753]. |
| 08:10 | <justinh> | np :) |
| 08:14 | <justinh> | getting into the habit of reporting problems properly. bit of an inconvenience but worth it for everybody's benefit |

| 09:15 | <gbee> | skamithi: contexts are pretty simple, add <context>1</context> to anything in the theme that you only want to be displayed conditionally then use SetContext(1); SetContext(2); etc in the code to switch |
| 09:16 | <skamithi> | gbee: thx. |
| 09:17 | <gbee> | alternate areas are also handy for what you are doing - e.g. in the Watch Recordings screen, when you have the preview image disabled the text uses the full width of the screen |
| 09:18 | <justinh> | oh _that_ is what they're for! |
| 09:18 | <justinh> | take it you have to look in the code to find that one out |
| 09:19 | <gbee> | the description textarea etc is defined with two positioning/areas, and you can switch between them using textarea->UseAlternateArea(); (might have the method name wrong) |
| 09:19 | <justinh> | I've known about altarea for yonks just never realised what it was for |
| 09:19 | <gbee> | means that you only need define the textarea once in the theme, but it gets used for both cases |
| 09:20 | <justinh> | why did that other inclusion in ui.xml need to replicate the whole of a window again? |
| 09:20 | <justinh> | the last one... |
| 09:21 | <justinh> | can't remember which it was now - chose to ignore it IIRC |
| 09:22 | <gbee> | skamithi: playbackbox might be a good example of using contexts and alternate areas to re-use parts of a theme with slightly different layouts - that window is used by both "Watch Recordings" and "Delete Recordings" with differences handled by contexts and altareas |
| 09:23 | <justinh> | I think there was a new OSD menu item to watch recordings which jumped to a new area in ui.xml which to me looked just like a line for line copy of an existing one |
| 09:25 | <skamithi> | gbee: thx. so i'm supposed to use contexts and alternate areas, then the playback-video "window" defined in ui.xml is wrong ? and needs to also be changed and merged into the "playback" window and the use of contexts and alternate areas should be done there as well ? |
| 09:25 | <justinh> | skamithi: yeah that was the one I was thinking of |
| 09:25 | <justinh> | not absolutely, but it'd be 'nice' :) |
| 09:26 | <gbee> | skamithi: preferably, it makes theming much easier if common layouts aren't duplicated |
| 09:26 | -!- | Cardoe [n=Cardoe@gentoo/developer/Cardoe] has joined #mythtv |
| 09:26 | * | gbee left the playback-video window out of metallurgy because it was too much hassle |
| 09:27 | <justinh> | I _think_ I left them out. I intended to, anyway |
| 09:27 | <justinh> | never had a problem report about it for sure |
| 09:29 | <gbee> | seems to be an issue with the alsa muting patch, since it went in I've been finding PCM getting muted when I start playback |
| 09:30 | <justinh> | come to think about it, 2 or 3 (or even 4) areas in ui.xml could be merged into one. |
| 09:31 | <gbee> | justinh: there are plenty of other examples and I'd venture to say that merging them before mythui wouldn't be a complete waste of time, it would make the move to mythui easier |
| 09:31 | <justinh> | I was about to suggest that :) |
| 09:31 | <justinh> | nice little exercise for somebody not quite very experienced in the code.. |

| 11:59 | <hendrixski> | :-/ I've been debugging with print statements, and I want to grow a pair and start using a debugger to check for values of while mythtv is running. Would Valgrind be too much to start with, or would gdb be good enough? Is either easier? |
| 11:59 | <stuarta> | valgrind is for tracking memory faults |
| 12:00 | <stuarta> | gdb is what you want |
| 12:00 | <justinh> | print/VERBOSE serves my needs nicely :) |
| 12:00 | <stuarta> | me too |
| 12:01 | <GreyFoxx> | I use gdb, and kbdg (gui frontend to gdb). But the vasty majority I use print statements :) |
| 12:01 | <stuarta> | don't think i've needed to go as deep as gdb and stepping through code |
| 12:01 | <stuarta> | main problem is myth is quite realtime |
| 12:01 | <hendrixski> | stuarta, ah, yeah I couldn't quite figure out whether or not valgrind does that from reading their page |
| 12:01 | <GreyFoxx> | Stepping through is how I've found some of the bugs I've run into, but print statements are usually enough |
| 12:01 | <stuarta> | GreyFoxx: kgdb better than ddd? |
| 12:01 | <hendrixski> | so from googling, I understand, what I'm looking to do is called "step through" in places where I set a "breakpoint" right? |
| 12:02 | <stuarta> | which is quite frankly a bit crap |
| 12:02 | <GreyFoxx> | stuart never tried ddd honestly |
| 12:02 | <GreyFoxx> | kbdg is pretty good really |
| 12:02 | <stuarta> | old school X program |
| 12:02 | <stuarta> | ie. in the style of old sun xwindows programs |

| 12:02 | <GreyFoxx> | hehe |
| 12:03 | <hendrixski> | GreyFoxx, there are gnome frontends too right? should be easy enough to figure out... are there any manuals on stepping through code that you would recommend... specifically anything on stepping through mythtv? |
| 12:03 | * | stuarta guesses ggdb |
| 12:04 | <stuarta> | stepping through stuff in a debugger is a generic operation |
| 12:04 | <GreyFoxx> | hendrixski: No idea if there are any gnome ones really :) |
| 12:04 | <stuarta> | you just can't do it on realtime code |
| 12:04 | <GreyFoxx> | I don't really use gnhome or KDE, I've just used kdbg as I saw it one freshmeat.net years ago and have used it since :) |
| 12:04 | <hendrixski> | ah, Ok |
| 12:05 | <GreyFoxx> | gnome/kde are too bloating and slow for my uses |
| 12:05 | <hendrixski> | stuarta, oh... so I'm working myself up over nothing.. this should be easy to learn? |
| 12:05 | <GreyFoxx> | in kdbg stepping is as simple as hitting "f8" |
| 12:05 | <Vaelys> | xmonad 4ever |
| 12:05 | <Vaelys> | 10k or less |
| 12:05 | <GreyFoxx> | hehe or f10 to step over a function |
| 12:05 | <stuarta> | yeah it's fairly simple |
| 12:06 | <stuarta> | suggest trying it on your own 10 line C program first to get the hang of it |
| 12:06 | <hendrixski> | stuarta, heh, yeah before diving into the 1093844910219848 line mythtv program with a an unfamiliar tool |

| 13:59 | <danielk22> | in qt4 you could fix this by making a deep copy within createTempFile before using ascii() but in qt3 deep copies themselves are not thread safe so they must be done before a string is used in other threads. |

| 14:10 | <gbee> | odd ... are we pulling in any other mythtv libs except those in /usr/(local/)lib/ at runtime? Seeing some weird behaviour with two different versions of the libraries installed, despite them having different version numbers |
| 14:11 | <MrGandalf> | gbee: the first defined in the ld cache should be the one used. ldd should show you that |
| 14:12 | <janneg> | gbee: depends on ld, LD_LIBRARY_PATH, LD_PRELOAD and probably something more |
| 14:12 | <MrGandalf> | or if you have LD_PRELOAD env defined. |
| 14:12 | <gbee> | MrGandalf: well that would explain it, annoying though - what's the point of versioning the libs if that's just ignored? |
| 14:12 | <MrGandalf> | it links against the base .so. That should be symlinked to the version you want to use. |

| 14:14 | <MrGandalf> | but myth doesn't increment the lib version except on releases |
| 14:14 | <gbee> | but that's the point, how is libmythupnp-0.21.so.0.21.0 the same as libmythupnp-0.20.so.0.20.0 etc |
| 14:14 | <MrGandalf> | it shouldn't be |
| 14:15 | <MrGandalf> | it should want one or the other. |
| 14:15 | <gbee> | exactly, but I'm still seeing weird problems - weird because they are symbol errors which I'd expect but instability and fonts etc disappearing |
| 14:16 | <gbee> | I can't see another cause, when I re-install one version or the other it's fixed - although both installs use the same prefix, they have different config/share directories |
| 14:16 | <gbee> | so that just leaves the headers and libs which might cause problems |
| 14:17 | * | gbee shrugs |

| 16:35 | <trisooma> | hads: can you post your new version of mythvideo class (related to #4600); I couldn't find them in your latest diffs? |
| 16:37 | <hads> | trisooma: Sorry, forgot to svn add the new file, I'll upload a new diff now. |
| 16:37 | <sphery> | Chutt: do you want to allow running backends (or mythtv-setup) when the schemaver of the active db > the backend's schemaver (i.e. old schemaver slave backend)? Just warn/exit for those, too? |
| 16:38 | <trisooma> | hads: great thanks, i'll try to conform to current standards (these were unknown to me) - but practice makes perfect |
| 16:40 | <hads> | trisooma: Done :) |
| 16:40 | <sphery> | jams: Nice. Do you think a line feed would look better (version line is cutting it very close). I.e. Myth version:\n0.21.20080114-1\n\nMythTV Revision:\nUnknown. Would also allow using "MythTV" for both. |
| 16:40 | <sphery> | jams: Might also want to check with gbee that you're using the "right" version number string. |
| 16:41 | <gbee> | jams, sphery: heh, I was just about to say something about that ;) |
| 16:42 | <gbee> | typo in 'revision' |
| 16:43 | <jams> | http://paste.bigbudden.com/view.php?id=14403 |
| 16:43 | <jams> | thats the code i'm using |
| 16:43 | <trisooma> | hads: is ik ok if i remove the args parameter from mythdb completely, and let mythdb access sys.argv by itself.... this way devs don't have to pass around args? |
| 16:44 | <trisooma> | hads: this way overriding (using cmd parameters) can always be done? |
| 16:44 | <hads> | trisooma: Sure, makes more sense to me. |
| 16:44 | <jams> | the fact it's "Unknown" is just this machine, for whatever reason it always says that. |
| 16:46 | <hads> | trisooma: Base it off my last patch if possible. |
| 16:47 | <jams> | sphery- i used the same source for the version number as the status box. |
| 16:48 | <trisooma> | hads: consider it done ! |
| 16:48 | <trisooma> | hads: im learning mythtv standards as i go along (comments are fully understood) |
| 16:49 | <gbee> | jams: using svn export on the code? Anyway, thanks for pointing out that I need to fix the status box |
| 16:49 | <jams> | gbee- heh |
| 16:49 | <jams> | gbee- the unknown happens when i make the package. |
| 16:50 | <hads> | trisooma: Cool. In my comment on your last patch I was more referring to Python standards (docstrings rather than # comments). |
| 16:50 | <jams> | so um what should be the source for the version number? |
| 16:50 | <gbee> | the binary version (lib version) is basically useless as an indicator of version, or at least less useful than svn revision+branch |
| 16:50 | <gbee> | mythfrontend --version |
| 16:50 | <gbee> | (with trunk) |
| 16:51 | <jams> | oh i agree, just didn't want to rock the boat and have multiple version strings reported. |
| 16:51 | <jams> | so revision and branch? |
| 16:51 | <gbee> | jams: preferably |
| 16:51 | <jams> | i would love to report the whole thing, but it's not going to fit. |

| 16:52 | <gbee> | jams: might want to create a new window for that reason, though it's not as straightfoward as using MythDialogBox unfortunately |
| 16:52 | <trisooma> | hads: i got that.. |
| 16:52 | <jams> | gbee- could try, but i think it would look strange. |
| 16:53 | <trisooma> | hads: By: ..... seems quite ridiculous actually, since svn keeps tracks of that stuff |
| 16:54 | <trisooma> | hads: will focus on functionality now, since a base has been established |
| 16:56 | <hads> | trisooma: Sweet :) Anduin mentioned that he will try to take a look over the weekend so hopefully it will be commited at some stage then it will be easier to create diffs for added functionality. |
| 16:56 | <hads> | trisooma: BTW I have a couple of methods relating to storage groups here which I'll post after it's commited in case you are working on the same thing. |
| 16:58 | <trisooma> | hads: great im looking at the perl bindings to see if i can try to get the same functionality (i'll skip storage group related stuff if i find any) |

| 17:26 | <sphery> | Yeah. I remember a huge discussion (that I only peripherally watched) about why it had to be done the way it's done, so I don't know if that was considered back then... |
| 17:26 | <jams> | GreyFoxx- very true. |
| 17:26 | <sphery> | GreyFoxx: He has a real one, but main-popup4.png was a "special" one for me. |
| 17:30 | <jams> | changed the name of file to /etc/os_myth_release, think that makes more sense for the special distro line. |
| 17:32 | <sphery> | Looks like the --version discussion was in http://svn.mythtv.org/trac/ticket/885 , http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/mythtv/dev/175945#175945 , and http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/mythtv/dev/174212#174212 |
| 17:32 | <sphery> | jams: would something under /usr/{,local/}share/mythtv be better than /etc? |
| 17:33 | <jams> | i was thinking that at first, but then thought it's more distro then myth related. |
| 17:33 | <jams> | honestly i could care less where it ends up. |
| 17:37 | <gbee> | Cardoe, superm1 etc have some method of getting the correct information into their packages, dunno what it is though |
| 17:37 | <sphery> | Hmmm. If there is no .svn directory ..., svnversion says "exported." If no svnversion binary, the version will be Unknown. |
| 17:38 | <sphery> | Looks like just modifying the "echo Unknown" in version.pro to cat some file (possibly truncating after so many bytes) might work... |

| 17:44 | <gbee> | it's a shame that svn doesn't have some method for updating a version string when you svn up |
| 17:45 | <stuarta> | should have something equivalent to CVS's $Id$ tag |
| 17:46 | <stuarta> | #define VERSION "$Id$" |
| 17:46 | <jams> | strange, when i issue a svnversion inside the pkgbuild process it has the right number |
| 17:46 | <gbee> | stuarta: it does, but that only versions a particular file, in other words you'd have to modify version.pro with every commit to update the version string in it |
| 17:47 | <stuarta> | hmmm |
| 17:48 | <gbee> | what svn really needs is the ability to set a rule - "update version.pro on every checkout/update" |

| 18:14 | <janneg> | the eit validation patch is bad, it should either rejected earlier (before it's completely parsed) or later not DVB EIT specific |
| 18:14 | <superm1> | sphery, i'd expect so, but you can check likely from his ebuild |
| 18:16 | <janneg> | stuarta: yeah, I think so too. sadly it's over one year I first started implemening it |

| 18:16 | <stuarta> | yeah, i remember us designing the thing |

| 18:21 | <jams> | superm1- thats done right after the configure? |
| 18:21 | <gbee> | what about knoppmyth/mythdora? I think mythbuntu uses the packages, but I'm not sure about those two |
| 18:21 | <superm1> | before configure jams |
| 18:21 | <gbee> | guess I could ask Cecil |
| 18:23 | <sphery> | I wonder if I can use quilt to get a diff that changes code around a section that's changed by another uncommitted patch (i.e. so a dev can apply the the new patch after the "old" patch is committed). |
| 18:23 | <jams> | superm1- thanks, that sed line doesn't appear to match anything but i will keep looking at it. |
| 18:24 | <sphery> | Isn't mythdora just ATrpms? |
| 18:24 | <gbee> | sphery: dunno, that's why I asked |

| 18:29 | <superm1> | gbee, well if there is anything else you guys would like to see, standard compilation options etc |
| 18:29 | <jams> | right now knoppmyth uses checkinstall for packages, so perhaps the version info is retained. |

| 19:06 | <stuarta> | heh, quilt is great :) |
| 19:06 | <gbee> | should have made learning quilt my new years resolution, I've been promising myself I would take a look for nearly two years |

| 19:07 | <justinh> | yeah I'm secretly working to make the core themes suck even more to make all the 3rd party ones own them even more ;) |
| 19:07 | <gbee> | no, I lied, seems I did install it at least |
| 19:07 | <sphery> | I've been promising I'd take a look for almost 4 years, now, so you'll get to it in 2 more, gbee . |
| 19:08 | <justinh> | quilt has got to be the most apt name for a program I've ever heard of |
| 19:08 | <sphery> | Makes finding info on it hard, though. Who knew that people making blankets are so up on technology. |
| 19:08 | <justinh> | gbee: those button graphics are on the list. problem is finding ones which sit with every theme. that said it'd not be that much e-fart to make em for all themes |
| 19:09 | <sphery> | gbee: Here's the doc I'm using. Seems nice: http://www.suse.de/~agruen/quilt.pdf |

| 19:14 | <justinh> | seen as I'm revamping core images I might as well do em all |
| 19:14 | <gbee> | which doesn't mean that your efforts are unappreciated, maybe once you've finished it will be more popular |

| 19:17 | <justinh> | minus the pixelation :P |
| 19:17 | <gbee> | actually, in most cases it's the lack of care with alignments than spoils the themes - look at the "Not Recording" and the distance from the left edge compared to the right |

| 19:45 | <sphery> | xris: BTW, did you see http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/mythtv/users/312953#312953 ? The load_file_info() in the Perl bindings seems to be failing on DVB radio recordings. I had him attach mplayer's -identify output and will eventually look into fixing the regex, but it won't be until after 0.21 (in case you want to fix it before release instead of in -fixes). |
| 19:46 | <xris> | sphery: that's why I've been begging to get that info into the db. |
| 19:46 | <xris> | fails on some non-english mplayers, and on different versions of mplayer, etc. |
| 19:48 | <sphery> | Yeah. I want it in just because running 5 mythrename.pl --link commands per half hour on 400 recordings won't work with the mplayer -identify on each. :) (I've disabled it on my local copy and just set a default extension of .mpg) |
| 19:49 | <sphery> | As I get farther along on my DB backup work, the recordefile (plus some other nice related stuff) gets higher on my priority list. :) |
| 19:49 | <xris> | wow, didn't know that it still did that. thought it pulled the type off of the existing extension |
| 19:50 | <sphery> | No. The filetype_hack patch in the thread is what I used to disable it. |
| 19:50 | <xris> | but yeah.. it shouldn't be hard to pull that info at the same time that the seek table is being built. |
| 19:51 | <xris> | type, resolution, aspect ratio, etc. |
| 19:51 | <sphery> | Yep. The most challenging part is figuring which part is the part with the "main" resolution, aspect ratio, etc. |
| 19:52 | <xris> | I figure it's safe enough to assume that wherever the pixmap came from is good enough |

| 19:55 | <sphery> | Definitely not bad for a first implementation (especially since the pixmap is no longer allowed to be pulled from within a commercial break, as identified by mythcommflag). |
| 19:55 | <sphery> | that would make it "right" for most recordings for a large percentage of users. |
| 19:56 | <janneg> | xris: shouldn't the non-english be fixable by LC_ALL="POSIX" LANG="" mplayer ... |
| 19:59 | <sphery> | xris: Looks like load_file_info() gets the filetype from the extension, but then calls _mpeg_info(). Might be worth splitting out the filetype part (which is all mythrename needs) from the MPEG info part. |

| 20:10 | <sphery> | (I know I submitted several--and still feel guilty about some of them. :) |

| 21:25 | <justinh> | MrGandalf: wouldn't make for smaller theme footprints if they're still rendered in to memory :P |
| 21:25 | <justinh> | nor would it if said SVGs contained bitmaps anyway |

| 22:00 | <Captain_Murdoch> | ok. I'm going to take a look at the db backup patch now. |
| 22:01 | <sphery> | OK. I have a follow-on (3-liner). It enables DB backup on master backend only on every startup. Since it happens before the master begins accepting connections from clients, it can't interfere with recordings/transcoding/flagging/playback. |
| 22:02 | * | Captain_Murdoch wonders what this guy was thinking when he decided to hook the jobqueue in with MSqlQuery |
| 22:03 | <sphery> | Backup takes less than a minute on my system (the start and end time that go in the DB are the same), so I think it would be good to have a backup on master backend every startup. (Can't really do shutdown as we don't handle that and if we did, we might not have time to backup when killed at shutdown.) |
| 22:03 | <Captain_Murdoch> | sphery: it could mess up a slave recording if the master is restarted while a slave recording is in progress. |
| 22:03 | <sphery> | I wondered the same, but I figured it must be so far over my head that only you would understand. Guess that's not the case. |
| 22:04 | <Captain_Murdoch> | I dont' want to wait too long before I knock his idea down. :| |
| 22:04 | <sphery> | OK. I'll keep it in my local tree. Guess "real" backups will have to wait 'til I finish the JobConstraints stuff. |
| 22:05 | <sphery> | Unfortunately 3 weeks of travel starting Monday means it won't likely be before 0.21. |
| 22:06 | <sphery> | Was hoping the master-backend startup patch would be a good way to get a reasonable frequency of backups even without JobConstraints |
| 22:09 | <Captain_Murdoch> | you could just add a setting to allow the user to give a time to run a DB backup. Have it turned off by default. It's no worse than people running cron jobs doing backups if you give the user a choice as to what time to run it. |
| 22:10 | <sphery> | OK. That will be the pre-0.21 version. Maybe if that's there, JobConstraints will be a loose definition of a fix or maybe 0.22 will come more quickly than 0.21 did. :) |
| 22:11 | <sphery> | Assuming #4613 is usable enough that it can be accepted before 0.21. |
| 22:11 | <Captain_Murdoch> | did you consider compressing the backup file also? |
| 22:12 | <Captain_Murdoch> | backups aren't large, but mine is 249 MB uncompressed. |
| 22:12 | <Captain_Murdoch> | a few of those = 1 hour of video storage. |
| 22:12 | <sphery> | I figured I'd let an external script do that. Since it would take a large amount of CPU resources and a lot of time (compared to the backup, itself), I thought it might be better to leave it uncompressed. |
| 22:13 | <sphery> | We're also relying on the external script for rotation/archiving, so... |
| 22:13 | <sphery> | I can add compression if you like, though. (Currently timing a bzip...) |
| 22:14 | <Captain_Murdoch> | may be quicker on modern cpus since it won't have to write as much out to disk. |
| 22:14 | <Captain_Murdoch> | my backups compressed are only 22 MB |
| 22:19 | <Captain_Murdoch> | might go for speed and use gzip instead. |
| 22:21 | <Captain_Murdoch> | do you get the DB upgrade prompt when you run mythbackend? I don't recall ever getting that when running from the command line. |
| 22:22 | <sphery> | TTBOMK, you will if you run mythbackend in an interactive shell. |
| 22:22 | <sphery> | Since virtually no one does, the log message may not be the most appropriate (kind of a, well, I would have if you let me.) |
| 22:23 | <sphery> | Most people start it through init scripts and or over an SSH session, so it won't display the upgrade prompt. |
| 22:24 | <sphery> | Wow. Only 40s to compress my 37MB (dev system) backup to 4MB on an XP 1700+. My XP 2400+ (production master) takes 3min (CPU) and 4min 20sec (real) to compress my 181MB backup to 26MB (with one recording in progress). |
| 22:24 | <sphery> | (Wonder how much it messed up the recording in progress... :) |
| 22:24 | <Captain_Murdoch> | those times are including the DB backup itself? |
| 22:25 | <sphery> | No that's just compressing an existing backup. |
| 22:25 | <sphery> | If we do compress it, I think I'd want the compression to happen after the fact in its own thread so it doesnt, i.e. delay startup. Could also be niced, too. |
| 22:25 | <sphery> | Perhaps a housekeeping job... ;) |
| 22:26 | <Captain_Murdoch> | gzip will be much faster. my P4 2.6Ghz only took 12.5s to compress my 249MB backup file down to 22MB. |
| 22:26 | <jams> | i get that prompt when running mythbackend from my init scripts. |
| 22:26 | <jams> | well I did get the prompt, I now apply a patch to remove that annoying thing. |
| 22:26 | <Captain_Murdoch> | bzip2 is still running.. that took 7m 22s. :( I might want to retest those I guess. :| |
| 22:26 | <Captain_Murdoch> | .bz2 was only 14.5MB though. |
| 22:27 | <Captain_Murdoch> | another gzip in same exact 12.5s time. |
| 22:27 | <sphery> | gzip takes 12.5 seconds? |
| 22:27 | <Captain_Murdoch> | yeah |
| 22:27 | <sphery> | that seems grossly different... |
| 22:27 | <Captain_Murdoch> | bzip2 is slow as molasis, that's one of the tradeoffs of using it. |
| 22:27 | <Captain_Murdoch> | running again. |
| 22:28 | <Captain_Murdoch> | bzip2 again |
| 22:29 | <Captain_Murdoch> | probably not good that dbutil links back to libmythtv, things should only go the other way around I think, so if this goes in, the SG move should go in also. |
| 22:30 | <sphery> | That's what I was thinking (especially with Nigel pulling his hair out over existing circular dependencies), so that's why I did the patch to move SG. |
| 22:30 | <sphery> | I could use my just-learned quilt knowledge to genererate a patch that could be applied after the SG move... |
| 22:31 | <Captain_Murdoch> | SG move is easy, I'll look at that first. |
| 22:32 | <kormoc> | Captain_Murdoch, sphery, core 2 duo 1.6ghz, 9 0mb, gzip compress 7.3s 23M, decompress 1.4s bzip2 29.6s 17M, decompress 7.3s |
| 22:32 | <kormoc> | *90 mb source file |
| 22:33 | <Captain_Murdoch> | so bzip2 is 4x slower. |
| 22:33 | <sphery> | Captain_Murdoch: BTW, I chose to use VB_FILE as a means of outputting the exact command being executed for the DB backup. It was the closest fit, but might be a bit of a stretch but I didn't think it warranted a new VB_* |
| 22:33 | <kormoc> | Captain_Murdoch, and around 33% better |
| 22:34 | <sphery> | Well, I got 31s to take my 181MB backup to 31MB with gzip. I'd be willing to do that inline. |
| 22:34 | <Captain_Murdoch> | yeah, same here. not worth the time for the disk savings. worth it to compress if we have multiple DB backups around. |
| 22:34 | <Captain_Murdoch> | bzip2 == not worth the time for disk savings. |
| 22:35 | <GreyFoxx> | Hmmm anyone ever notice that you can't clear a DVD bookmark ? |
| 22:35 | <sphery> | Is it a DVD-/ROM/? ;) |
| 22:36 | <sphery> | My 31s backup was really only 12 CPU seconds... |

| 22:36 | <GreyFoxx> | We had my Family guy disks in tonight and I hit enter accidentaly and got the normal "Position Saved" .... I hit it again and it just said Position saved again |
| 22:36 | <Captain_Murdoch> | bzip2 finished again on my system, 7m21s again. so bzip2 is much slower than 4x on this P4. |
| 22:36 | <GreyFoxx> | tried several times :) |

| 22:45 | <Captain_Murdoch> | :) |
| 22:45 | <sphery> | If so, probably just because I didn't really change storagegroup.{h,cpp}. Though, IIRC, all of the libmyth code leaves out "libmyth/" for the includes of other libmyth stuff. |

| 22:46 | <Captain_Murdoch> | no biggie, I was just curious if there was a specific reason. I'm going to make them look like the other includes for consistency |
| 22:47 | <sphery> | Oh. I had seen the comment in the .pro that said you can use either, and since most of the code I saw left out the "libmyth/", I did, too. |
| 22:47 | <sphery> | That's a good plan. Sorry for the extra work. |
| 22:48 | <Captain_Murdoch> | no work, just looking it over before applying. I usually compare the original user diff vs my dev tree diff vs my pristine svn tree diff to make sure I didn't slip in any debugging cerr, VERBOSE, etc. lines or other patches I'm working on. |

| 22:53 | <GreyFoxx> | yup |
| 22:53 | <Captain_Murdoch> | there is a GetDVDBookmark in NVP::GetBookmark, so it doesn't need the other one. |
| 22:56 | <Captain_Murdoch> | sphery: re how to find the right files, I can't think of much off the top of my head right now. if it's someone doing something malicious they could get around most anything, so a simple check of the --help text or --version could be good enough. if you don't get the right response, print a message and don't try backing up. |

| 23:04 | <sphery> | Captain_Murdoch: "right response" meaning more than a check of the exit status code? |
| 23:06 | <sphery> | BTW, an inline mysqldump | gzip took the same 30s (real) of just compressing, but a 5-second longer 17.5s (CPU), so I think it's good. |
| 23:06 | <Captain_Murdoch> | might be good enough I would think if it's discernable (ie, not 0). a shell script could ignore your args and return 0 by default |
| 23:07 | <sphery> | it's 0... :) |
| 23:08 | <sphery> | I'm thinking the --help output or the --version stuff would both be hard to identify--especially with version differences. |
| 23:08 | <Captain_Murdoch> | could just check standard locations. how do we check for wget in datadirect.cpp? |
| 23:08 | <sphery> | I think we just use it... :) |
| 23:09 | <Captain_Murdoch> | if not in /bin or /usr/bin then don't use??? could add another dir to check if some weird distro uses another for mysqldump |
| 23:09 | <kormoc> | I feel that if someone wrote a script called the exact same name as a binary, they mean to overrule it, else it should be binary.sh or the like |
| 23:09 | <kormoc> | that said, I often wonder about the sanity of a lot of people these days... |
| 23:10 | <sphery> | yeah, we're not checking validity of wget or gzip in datadirect |
| 23:10 | <sphery> | we don't even check for existence... |
| 23:10 | <sphery> | perhaps this should become a new patch that adds some util methods... |
| 23:10 | <Captain_Murdoch> | I'm thinking more malicious, like a fake gzip in ~/bin/ |
| 23:11 | <sphery> | I was just trying to avoid failing a backup because gzip isn't in the PATH. :) |
| 23:11 | <Captain_Murdoch> | yeah |
| 23:11 | <sphery> | yeah to the separate patch? |
| 23:12 | <Captain_Murdoch> | if (QFile::exists("/bin/gzip")) then gzipcmd = "/bin/zip" else if (QFile::exists("/usr/bin/gzip")) then gzipcmd = "/usr/bin/gzip" else VERBOSE(ERRORMSG) |
| 23:12 | <Captain_Murdoch> | (without any typos or syntax errors of course). :) |
| 23:13 | <sphery> | That works. If we really need to check in other places, I'll move the stuff to a reusable location. |
| 23:13 | <Captain_Murdoch> | "yeah" to failing if stuff isn't in the path. like we've tried to do with preview gen calling mythbackend, jobqueue calling mythtranscode, mythcommflag, etc. |
| 23:14 | <Captain_Murdoch> | commiting the SG move. |
| 23:14 | <sphery> | Cool. I have a patch for backups post move. It will have the gzip check in it soon. |
| 23:17 | <sphery> | Now I'm glad I made extension an optional argument to CreateBackupFilename. :) |
| 23:19 | * | Captain_Murdoch doesn't like the way that svn "kept" the history when he did a "svn move". it shows the move, but doesn't show all revisions in the new revision log. |
| 23:19 | <sphery> | Yeah. On trac you have to toggle the stop on move or whatever... |
| 23:20 | <sphery> | probably possible with the command-line client, too. |
| 23:20 | <Captain_Murdoch> | thanks, didn't notice that radio button. :) |
| 23:23 | <Captain_Murdoch> | reynaldo: that guy with the GUIDE issue. I wasn't sure if he meant both items were fixed or just the one that Brad linked to. |
| 23:23 | <Captain_Murdoch> | stupid tab completion.... |
| 23:23 | <Captain_Murdoch> | reynaldo == "RE:". was xchat written for windows. I know I put a : after the RE and it still replaced that with "reynaldo:" |
| 23:24 | * | Captain_Murdoch tests again since has already woken reynaldo up. |
| 23:24 | <Captain_Murdoch> | reynaldo: this is a test |
| 23:24 | <Captain_Murdoch> | yep, did it again. |
| 23:24 | <Captain_Murdoch> | wasn't even tab completion, just xchat trying to be smarter than me. |
| 23:26 | <reynaldo> | Captain_Murdoch: :* |
| 23:26 | <Captain_Murdoch> | some moron the -users list asking for someone to mail him a DVD copy of the superbowl in HD. |

| 23:26 | <Captain_Murdoch> | reynaldo: you can go back to sleep :) sorry for the disturbance. |
| 23:26 | <reynaldo> | na, I'm trying to make this plugins build out tree |
| 23:26 | <reynaldo> | didnt care about it before |
| 23:26 | <reynaldo> | :) |
| 23:27 | <sphery> | Not bad... Only compile issue was a missing #include <qfile.h>. I usually don't get it that close on first try. |
| 23:27 | <reynaldo> | besides, I like this chan kind of noise :-) |
| 23:27 | <sphery> | d'oh. Will take a while to test. Have to make distclean |
| 23:28 | <AnotherNick> | Is there an issue with mythtv 0.20.2 that claims tuners are "unavailable" when they are actually free? |
| 23:28 | <sphery> | thank Samba for ccache... |
| 23:29 | <Captain_Murdoch> | yeah. |
| 23:29 | <sphery> | AnotherNick: Might be that it's not free (i.e. got stuck in LiveTV). Most likely need to restart mythbackend. |
| 23:29 | -!- | gnome42 [n=gnome42@76-10-151-103.dsl.teksavvy.com] has quit [Remote closed the connection] |
| 23:29 | <AnotherNick> | sphery, this is the first run after a reboot. |
| 23:30 | <AnotherNick> | sphery, I can kill mythbackend and view the tuner with mplayer /dev/video0, without any problems. Also, lsof /dev/video0 doesn't show anything using the device |
| 23:30 | <sphery> | AnotherNick: Trunk/soon 0.21 are better at detecting client dropouts during LiveTV.., Anyway, come to -users for more. |

| 23:55 | <sphery> | Wonder how many will get linking issues because they didn't do a make distclean after #4588... |
| 23:56 | <Captain_Murdoch> | should have mentioned that in my commit log. |
| 23:56 | <Captain_Murdoch> | then again, I didn't do a distclean. |
| 23:56 | <Captain_Murdoch> | I did a configure since the .pro files were modified, but then I just did a make using distcc and ccache. |
| 23:56 | <sphery> | I just sent a message to the -dev list. Interesting that you didn't have to. I always did. |
| 23:57 | <sphery> | I tried qmake, but didn't do a configure. Might be the difference. |
| 23:57 | <Captain_Murdoch> | from the root dir, it would relink all the programs because of the vers.cpp or whatever file, so that may be why it worked. |
| 23:58 | <Captain_Murdoch> | they had to be recompiled anyway because of the header change, so any programs using storagegroups.h were recompiled and relinked. |
