| 09:46 | <Balachmar> | ok, thanks. Someone just tried to convince me otherwise in lastfm irc |
| 09:47 | <j-rod> | ok, spec happy now |
| 09:47 | <GreyFoxx> | Balachmar: That person is confused :) |
| 09:47 | <Balachmar> | GreyFoxx: As am I :) |
| 09:49 | <GreyFoxx> | What are you confused about? Or do you mean in general ?:) |
| 09:51 | <Balachmar> | Well... I don't really want to appear too stupid... But I am still not sure on how to use a md5 function which is in mythtv already... |
| 09:52 | <GreyFoxx> | which one? I think amove the livemedia and libav* stuff there are a couple |
| 09:52 | <GreyFoxx> | among I mean |
| 09:52 | <Balachmar> | in libavutil |
| 09:53 | <GreyFoxx> | Are you just trying to get the md5sum of a string or something? |
| 09:54 | <Balachmar> | yes, that is me :) |
| 09:54 | <Balachmar> | (that also explains why I would love qt4, cause it is in there) |

| 10:08 | <Dibblah> | look in md5.c - The commented out test section. |
| 10:09 | <Dibblah> | janneg: You're sure they're not stripped, then? |
| 10:11 | <Balachmar> | Dibblah: I am developing against a svn build |
| 10:11 | <stuarta> | doesn't mean they aren't stripped |
| 10:11 | <stuarta> | --build-type=debug |
| 10:12 | <Dibblah> | I _really_ would recommend --build-type=profile, rather than debug. |
| 10:12 | <Dibblah> | But am not sure how current that recommendation is :) |
| 10:12 | <anykey_> | gbee: a few weeks ago you mentioned a way to make the menü "horizontal", as in the buttons will float off the screen if you go to the left or to the right. How is this achievable in a theme? |
| 10:12 | <Balachmar> | janneg: md5 is in there I can see stuff like: @av_md5_init^@a |
| 10:12 | <Dibblah> | Balachmar: Seriously - The md5 stuff is documented in md5.c... |
| 10:13 | <Balachmar> | Dibblah: sorry I was just answering janneg |
| 10:14 | <janneg> | Dibblah: less displays symbols from elf tables in a stripped so |
| 10:14 | <Balachmar> | Dibblah: I assume you mean the md5 in avutils |
| 10:15 | <janneg> | I use almost always debug unless when I plan to use valgrind |
| 10:16 | <gbee> | anykey_: it's part of mythui, so only applies to mythcontrols and the screen settings |
| 10:16 | <Dibblah> | Balachmar: Yes. |
| 10:16 | <Balachmar> | OK, so I didn't know that I needed to build it differntly to be able to use the libraries... |
| 10:16 | <Dibblah> | As I said above, look at the commented out test section. |
| 10:16 | <Dibblah> | No, you don't. |
| 10:16 | <Dibblah> | That's just how to use the functions. |

| 10:17 | <anykey_> | gbee: no menüs yet? |
| 10:18 | <gbee> | anykey_: main menus? you can do horizontal there but it doesn't work very well - they aren't using mythui (not natively anyway) |
| 10:20 | <anykey_> | gbee: yeah, I know the current way to do horizontal menus, but that's not what I'm searching for |
| 10:20 | <gbee> | ok, not possible until 0.22 then |
| 10:21 | <anykey_> | ok |
| 10:21 | <anykey_> | bad luck then |
| 10:22 | <gbee> | already written the code changes, but I need to redo that work and it definately won't be in 0.21, maybe a month from now in trunk .. |
| 10:23 | <anykey_> | yeah, no problem to use trunk here ;) |
| 10:23 | <anykey_> | I don't expect anything to go into 0.21 from now on anyway |

| 10:32 | <Balachmar> | Dibblah: I am still confused. I an sorry if I seem so dumb, but in the md5 file the only thing I see under test commented out are 2 lines one include and one undef. |

| 11:03 | <janneg> | j-rod: the problem is that fedora changes the faad2 header without indication of doing so |
| 11:03 | <j-rod> | janneg: ah, ok, guess I need to go back and look at the butchery the faad2 package is doing... :) |
| 11:04 | -!- | jmk [n=jmk@64.73.34.172] has joined #mythtv |
| 11:05 | <janneg> | they change ints and longs to int32_t, ... |
| 11:07 | <janneg> | those changes are pretty common, gentoo has them too. but on fedora it's hard to detect the change with the preprocessor |
| 11:09 | <gbee> | really? Seems like a pretty dumb thing to do, if they have issues with faad2 why not fix it upstream rather than shipping a version of a shared library that won't work with unmodified applications? |
| 11:12 | <gbee> | the sooner ffmpeg supports native aac decoding the better ... |
| 11:12 | <janneg> | the unmodified version might has problems on 64bit systems |
| 11:12 | <j-rod> | janneg: looks like in faad 2.6.1, livna doesn't do any munging anymore |
| 11:13 | <gbee> | janneg: possibly, that's what the fixes would suggest, but that doesn't answer the question of why they weren't submitted upstream |
| 11:13 | * | gbee goes to look at what mandriva do with their 64bit packages |
| 11:14 | <j-rod> | gbee: might have been fixed in 2.6.1. :) |
| 11:14 | <j-rod> | (or 'somewhere between 2.0 and 2.6.1') |
| 11:14 | <j-rod> | apparently, there were redistribution issues w/the license for quite a while |
| 11:14 | <gbee> | j-rod: ahh, didn't catch that you were running an older version :) |
| 11:14 | <j-rod> | I'm not. |
| 11:15 | <j-rod> | at least, not anymore |
| 11:15 | <j-rod> | but the build still fails to enable aac |
| 11:16 | <gbee> | ok, the problem that janneg mentioned affected older versions :) |
| 11:17 | <gbee> | j-rod: I guess the next step is to look at the test configure uses, I assume it's configure which is listing faad disabled? |

| 11:47 | <stuarta> | j-rod: even doing that i couldn't convince it to be used on my debian box |
| 11:48 | <stuarta> | gave up in the end as i don't really need aac |

| 12:11 | <j-rod> | I wanted to call it "Evil Kryptonian General", since it was based on FC6, which was called Zod |
| 12:11 | <j-rod> | laga: could be... ;) still need to check that out myself, but I've had shit for time for even Fedora-based mythtv fun |
| 12:12 | <j-rod> | (beyond working on getting everything building properly on rawhide) |
| 12:12 | <laga> | j-rod: i've meant to check out knoppmyth and mythdora for ages but time is a rare commodity these days :) |

| 12:12 | <j-rod> | yep, I know all to well |
| 12:13 | <j-rod> | apparently, dennis has done a ton of work for mythdora 5, but I haven't looked at that at all either |
| 12:14 | <laga> | j-rod: does mythdora have support for diskless clients OOTB? |
| 12:15 | <j-rod> | not exactly |
| 12:15 | <j-rod> | like, there's no "set up diskless client" button |
| 12:16 | <laga> | i'm working on something like that for mythbuntu, that's why i'm wondering |
| 12:25 | <j-rod> | ah, cool |
| 12:25 | <j-rod> | janneg/gbee: so apparently, libmp4ff is supposed to be internal to faad2, not a public API... |
| 12:26 | <j-rod> | and we really ought to be using libmp4v2 instead |

| 12:29 | <j-rod> | gbee: worksforme |
| 12:30 | <gbee> | but if janneg or someone else wants to look at fixing it prior to 0.21, then that's just fine - I just don't have the time |

| 13:09 | <gbee> | phatmonkey: unlikely to join in SoC after the last experience - waste of time |
| 13:10 | <phatmonkey> | what a shame! I certainly wouldn't be a waste of time... |
| 13:10 | <phatmonkey> | what happened last time? |
| 13:11 | <stuarta> | not much |
| 13:12 | <gbee> | phatmonkey: of ~10 projects only ~2 were completed, students just weren't really disciplined enough to work without constant supervision |
| 13:12 | <phatmonkey> | what happens to those students then? do they just not get paid? |
| 13:12 | <gbee> | and when I say that 2 were completed, it depends on your definition of completed whether you believe that is true |
| 13:12 | <phatmonkey> | the cash at the end seems discipline enough! |
| 13:12 | <phatmonkey> | yeah |
| 13:14 | <gbee> | phatmonkey: about a third didn't even make their halfway payment point before dropping out the rest collected that payment before failing to finish |
| 13:14 | <gbee> | I'm hazy on the figures, it was a couple of years ago now |
| 13:15 | <gbee> | we've all been students, so I think the pattern was pretty recognisable - most of them left the work until the last couple of weeks and that just wasn't enough time to produce anything |
| 13:16 | <phatmonkey> | yeah |
| 13:16 | <phatmonkey> | it's a shame really, I'd love to work for mythtv over the summer |
| 13:17 | <phatmonkey> | but working for a gsoc project instead seems more enticing |
| 13:17 | <gbee> | I think a lot of applicants viewed it as a paid holiday, rather than full/part-time work |
| 13:17 | <phatmonkey> | yes |
| 13:17 | <phatmonkey> | it all appears a little informal |
| 13:19 | <gbee> | I think we'd do SoC again if we could guarentee that the applicants would actually work, the devs don't have time to babysit them - we'd get more done if devs spent that time working on MythTV instead |
| 13:21 | <gbee> | if you get a good project, then SoC isn't a bad way to earn money and learn something as a student |
| 13:22 | <phatmonkey> | well, if mythtv applied, I'd certainly apply for something with mythtv |

| 13:35 | <gbee> | phatmonkey: http://code.google.com/soc/2006/mythtv/about.html << There were 9/10 starting projects, those were the only ones still going at the end, of those only the middle three were considered complete and just one made it into mythtv |
| 13:35 | <phatmonkey> | crikey |
| 13:36 | <phatmonkey> | gbee: I suppose it depends a lot of whether you get the right people, maybe other projects have had more luck? |
| 13:37 | <gbee> | even those which were 'complete', the students were just rewarded for putting in time and effort, none of them was really finished so that they could be used without work from the mentoring devs |
| 13:37 | <gbee> | phatmonkey: we had over 100 applicants and the vetting/interview process was pretty thorough, maybe the right questions weren't asked ... |
| 13:39 | <gbee> | I think the really big projects have had some success, but they naturally attracted the best applicants - everyone wants to work on apache etc |
| 13:39 | <phatmonkey> | gbee: it'd be interesting to hear how other projects found it. if everybody had the same experience as you did, I doubt google would still be doing the scheme! |
| 13:39 | <phatmonkey> | yeah, that's true |
| 13:39 | <gbee> | bbl, food |
| 13:40 | <phatmonkey> | you can turn doing all the students can't you? maybe it's worth applying and only picking a student if they are particularly outstanding and promising... |

| 13:56 | <phatmonkey> | mythtv desperately needs a new site |
| 13:57 | <phatmonkey> | even if you didn't do the SoC, I'd be willing give a helping hand |
| 13:58 | <kormoc> | New layout is all done, it's just waiting on content being written (descriptions of mythplugins and the like) afaik |
| 14:00 | <phatmonkey> | oh I see |
| 14:00 | <phatmonkey> | one thing that really annoys me are the two wikis - mediawiki and trac |
| 14:00 | <kormoc> | That said, mythweb can use more ajax loving. I've been using 'cheat' methods to get it do be basic ajax stuff. It should all be rewritten correctly one of these days. |
| 14:01 | <phatmonkey> | it'd be ok if one was for development, and one for user stuff, but that isn't the case |
| 14:01 | <phatmonkey> | kormoc: how do you mean "cheat" methods? |
| 14:02 | <kormoc> | Rather then using a minimal script to pull content, uses the master one and thus the ajax calls take a full startup load hit rather then a short one |
| 14:02 | <phatmonkey> | ah right |
| 14:04 | <kormoc> | Also the JS really needs to be re-written a bit to be more standardly encapsulated rather then a huge pile of global stuff everywhere |
| 14:05 | <phatmonkey> | http://newmyth.forevermore.net/ |
| 14:05 | <phatmonkey> | is that the new site you were talking about? |
| 14:07 | <xris> | kormoc: speaking of which, check out the mouseover in mythweb video for a "newly imported" video with no data |
| 14:07 | <xris> | phatmonkey: that's a mockup for the potential new mythtv.org website |
| 14:07 | <phatmonkey> | xris: do you know who's working on it? |
| 14:08 | <xris> | me |
| 14:08 | <xris> | only not so much of the "working" lately |
| 14:08 | <xris> | gbee has been doing some of the art for me |
| 14:09 | <xris> | why do you ask? |
| 14:09 | <phatmonkey> | need help? |
| 14:10 | <xris> | can always use help... art, specifically, content second. |
| 14:10 | <xris> | most of the code is done. |
| 14:10 | <phatmonkey> | I am an experienced python/django developer, experienced with XHTML/CSS |
| 14:10 | <phatmonkey> | ok |
| 14:10 | <xris> | it's all php |
| 14:11 | <xris> | the html/css stuff needs help, but the majority of that help is art-related... |
| 14:11 | <phatmonkey> | ok |
| 14:11 | <xris> | getting nice corners for things, etc. |
| 14:11 | <xris> | I have some files from gbee that I haven't put into place yet.. stuff for schedules direct and mythweb (and non-computer life) has taken priority over the last many weeks, thogh |

| 14:12 | <phatmonkey> | have you tried django or rails before? php really is.... awful |
| 14:12 | <phatmonkey> | not trying to controversial or anything ;) |
| 14:12 | <kormoc> | Php can actually be really clean and tasteful when done right |
| 14:12 | <xris> | php's fast and relatively lightweight. I also know it a LOT better than ruby/python |
| 14:12 | <kormoc> | it's just most people don't or can't do it right |
| 14:12 | <gbee> | I love php |
| 14:13 | <kormoc> | Also, deploying rails apps is a major pain in the ass that I'd rather not go though again in my life |
| 14:13 | <xris> | if I want extra-lightweight/speedy, I'd use perl. :) |
| 14:13 | <stuarta> | i can't stand ruby |
| 14:13 | <gbee> | oo php especially |
| 14:13 | <phatmonkey> | yes, but python tends to be clean and tasteful all the time |
| 14:13 | <phatmonkey> | yeah, ruby's awful |
| 14:13 | <stuarta> | or python for that matter |
| 14:13 | <xris> | phatmonkey: python lacks { } which drives me nuts |
| 14:13 | <gbee> | phatmonkey: just the things you produce with python which aren't tasteful ;) |
| 14:14 | <xris> | I don't "see" whitespace indentation as a good enough separator when reading code, so it makes things harder for me to read. |
| 14:14 | <phatmonkey> | after using php, perl and python all for large projects, python really stands out |
| 14:14 | <xris> | phatmonkey: I've heard nothing but good about python.. I just don't like it for myself. :) |
| 14:14 | <kormoc> | Did you use OO with your php? |
| 14:14 | <gbee> | python isn't _that_ bad, but the syntax isn't really my cup of tea |
| 14:14 | <xris> | php 5 + oo is pretty slick when done properly. |
| 14:15 | <gbee> | I'm more comfortable with languages which mirror C, e.g. Perl and PHP |
| 14:15 | <phatmonkey> | kormoc: yes, but it wasn't really OOP with php 4! |
| 14:15 | <kormoc> | phatmonkey, ahh, yeah, php 5 is so much better, and it's what we're using for mythweb-trunk now |
| 14:16 | <xris> | and the new mythtv.org. though I've tried to keep that stuff extremely lightweight. no database, ettc. |
| 14:16 | <phatmonkey> | I agree, good code can be done with it, but you have to agree things like the lack of namespaces is such a hindrence |
| 14:16 | <Daviey> | chaps.. http://daviey.mooo.com/out.ogg |
| 14:17 | <kormoc> | It's really proving not to be if you design around the lack of the feature to start with |
| 14:17 | <gbee> | the other benefit of perl/php is wide support, you might find webhosts or customers who have python on their servers, but generally you limit your choice |

| 14:18 | * | _gunni_ is wondering that this is the first php/python/perl discussion without flame ... really nice surprise |
| 14:18 | <gbee> | and for compiled python, it breaks your scripts every time you upgrade |
| 14:19 | <gbee> | but like I said, I don't hate python, I just don't personally like it |
| 14:19 | -!- | stuarta [n=stuarta@unaffiliated/stuarta] has joined #mythtv |
| 14:19 | <xris> | _gunni_: I think if you have mature people talking (esp. developers with a wide range of language experience), such conversations tend to stay with the factual rather than the emotional. |
| 14:19 | <xris> | i.e. I don't like python "for me", but will happily admit that it's a really cool language. |
| 14:20 | <Daviey> | guys, did you see the video ^? |
| 14:20 | <Daviey> | Idea for >0.21 |
| 14:20 | <xris> | on the other hand, I *hate* perl... but it's my favorite language for just about any task except smallish web projects. |
| 14:20 | <_gunni_> | xris: Yes i know, but often in forums after short time it gets flame, so i am positive surprised :) I like PHP,too because of the same reasons than gbee |
| 14:22 | <xris> | I dislike php because its developer community is "non enterprisy" meaning that they don't like to push bugfixes back to earlier versions that corporations are stuck using.. the language itself is great, with a few caveats that are easily worked around. |
| 14:22 | <gbee> | I'm not entirely comfortable with the idea of python plugins - the rationale for it is that python is 'easier' than c++, but that same argument counts against it, if you lower the difficultly then it's normal for the average quality to decrease as well, the last thing mythtv needs is more low quality plugins |
| 14:23 | <Cardoe> | xris: I actually had some patches and such for some LDAP issues I found in PHP since we use Kerberos + LDAP at my office |
| 14:23 | <Cardoe> | xris: the response was "here's commit access, fix them yourself" |
| 14:23 | <kormoc> | Cardoe, I might have some patches to toss your way then... |
| 14:24 | <gbee> | Cardoe: and did you? :) |
| 14:24 | <Cardoe> | I've tried to conform to their phpt testing framework and write up a full series of tests for the LDAP module |
| 14:24 | <Cardoe> | gbee: I did. I've even gone through the bug reports and fixed up all of the outstanding bugs that I could based on the info users provided. |
| 14:25 | <Cardoe> | gbee: part of the problem is if a ticket is inactive for 2 weeks, they close it |
| 14:25 | <Cardoe> | but then it can only be reopened by the user |
| 14:25 | <Cardoe> | and if you post a comment on the bug, the reporter doesn't get an e-mail unless it's opened |

| 14:26 | <Cardoe> | laga: maybe. lemme peek |
| 14:26 | <gbee> | btw, the issue of namespaces was raised in connection with PHP, IMHO that's a non-issue if you are talking about true OO php with php5, everything should belong to a class and so namespaces are irrelevant unless you are talking about huge projects |
| 14:27 | <laga> | Cardoe: at the end of the line, it should read ?> |
| 14:27 | <Cardoe> | laga: wow. I can't believe i missed that |
| 14:28 | <Cardoe> | thank you |
| 14:28 | <laga> | Cardoe: took me like half an hour :) |
| 14:29 | <laga> | Cardoe: i'd like to put that snippet into my mythbuntu-diskless package. i've modified it to make HAL (and networkmanager) ignore network devices |
| 14:29 | <kormoc> | Cardoe, namespace still has fun when you have multiple inheritance, so typically have to go with static methods or the like to be absolutely sure |
| 14:30 | <Cardoe> | kormoc: yeah |
| 14:30 | <Cardoe> | like you said though, namespaces are useless except in big projects |
| 14:31 | <Cardoe> | namespaces are abused sometimes |
| 14:31 | <kormoc> | Yeah, as is everything I'd suspect |
| 14:31 | <Cardoe> | true |
| 14:33 | <Cardoe> | is --enable-opengl-video safe for everyone to have compiled? |
| 14:34 | <danielk22> | no |
| 14:34 | <Cardoe> | I assume there's some info on it in the 0.21 docs? |
| 14:34 | <danielk22> | it causes segfaults when switching between XVideo & OpenGL rendering |
| 14:34 | <Cardoe> | danielk22: how about --enable-xvmc-opengl |
| 14:35 | <danielk22> | enable-xvmc-opengl creates binaries that will only work with nvidia XvMC, I don't know how stable it is otherwise. |
| 14:36 | <Cardoe> | how about if we're linking to XvMCW |
| 14:37 | <danielk22> | XvMCW doesn't support xvmc-opengl, it's missing a function or two |
| 14:37 | <danielk22> | otherwise I would have used it... |
| 14:37 | <Cardoe> | are they nvidia specific functions or part of the spec? |
| 14:37 | <gbee> | janneg: this time I'm sure, the patch hasn't helped here - no passive EIT collection occurs |
| 14:37 | <danielk22> | nvidia specific |
| 14:37 | <Cardoe> | well I guess there is no spec.. |
| 14:38 | <Cardoe> | this will improve hopefully when vaapi is out and used |
| 14:38 | <danielk22> | I think it was proposed at or about the time when XFree86 was falling apart, and then nVidia abandoned XvMC support, so... |
| 14:39 | <Cardoe> | danielk22: well they're supporting it up to GeForce 7 |
| 14:39 | <danielk22> | It's supported so long as it kinda keeps working, they aren't fixing bugs or anything like that... |
| 14:39 | <danielk22> | Or implementing it on new HW. |
| 14:39 | <Cardoe> | danielk22: I assume Via's chrome stuff requires --enable-xvmc-pro |
| 14:40 | <Cardoe> | it won't work if via XvMCW as well? |
| 14:40 | <danielk22> | Only the new chips require enable-xvmc-pro |
| 14:40 | <danielk22> | I dunno, that might work with XvMCW. |
| 14:41 | <Cardoe> | ok for example.. this is how we're building |
| 14:42 | <danielk22> | VLD is also not in the XvMC spec so it may not work with XvMCW.. but then again the VIA chips are the only ones where you might actually want to use XvMC... |
| 14:42 | <Cardoe> | I think I tried it once on nvidia and it was screwy |
| 14:42 | <danielk22> | Yeah, they don't allocate enough memory for XvMC.. so it doesn't really work... |
| 14:44 | <Cardoe> | configure --prefix=/usr --mandir=/usr/share/man --libdir=lib64 --disable-audio-jack --disable-dbox2 --disable-hdhomerun --disable-altivec --disable-audio-arts --enable-lirc --disable-joystick-menu --enable-dvb --dvb-path=/usr/include --enable-opengl-vsync --enable-firewire --disable-iptv --enable-xrandr --enable-xv --disable-directfb --enable-x11 --enable-gpl |
| 14:45 | <Cardoe> | --enable-mmx --with-bindings-perl,python --compile-type=profile --cpu=athlon64 --disable-distcc |
| 14:45 | <Cardoe> | that's my box by default |
| 14:45 | <stuarta> | heh, i just said gbee was fixing passive scanning and danielk22 just said i was :) |
| 14:45 | <Cardoe> | fairly close to the Gentoo defaults for amd64 |
| 14:46 | <Cardoe> | Should we aim for defaulting to OpenGL rendering or XVideo render? |

| 14:46 | <danielk22> | XVideo, OpenGL rendering is _sloooooow_ |
| 14:47 | <Cardoe> | so do I want to allow --enable-opengl-video as an obscure option? |
| 14:47 | <gbee> | am I looking at the passive EIT problem? I kinda hoped someone else might have some ideas, I'm less familiar with the EIT code than either stuarta, janneg or danielk22 :) |
| 14:47 | <danielk22> | yeah |
| 14:47 | <Cardoe> | since users have the opengl USE flag enabled by default |
| 14:47 | <Cardoe> | if I hooked it to that flag, it would use that by default |
| 14:48 | <danielk22> | It shouldn't trigger on the "opengl" use flag but should be something that people can enable if they want to live on the edge.. |
| 14:48 | <Cardoe> | danielk22: familiar with Gentoo and use flags? |
| 14:49 | <danielk22> | yep |
| 14:49 | <stuarta> | gbee: who knows, you seem to be chief tester :) |
| 14:49 | <Cardoe> | ok |
| 14:49 | <stuarta> | i've naff all time |
| 14:49 | <stuarta> | and every time i've tested it, it seemed to work |
| 14:50 | <Cardoe> | danielk22: so for via, I'll want to keep this.. use xvmc && use video_cards_via && myconf="${myconf} --enable-xvmc-pro" |
| 14:50 | <danielk22> | cardoe: yeah that makes sense |
| 14:50 | <Cardoe> | so I wanna do something similiar for nvidia & xvmc-opengl? |
| 14:50 | <gbee> | well I'm going to keep looking at it, but I can only spend a few minutes on it at a time, so progress could be slow |
| 14:50 | <Cardoe> | or steer clear of xvmc & nvidia |
| 14:51 | <danielk22> | cardoe: I'd steer clear of it for nvidia |
| 14:52 | <gbee> | stuarta: should be easier to determine if you disable active scanning (new option in mythtv-setup, under recording options for each card) |
| 14:52 | <Cardoe> | danielk22: do we want to steer clear of xvmc for intel as well? |
| 14:53 | <gbee> | I do appreciate the lack of time, I'm just obliged to find the issue because I can't use active scanning without driver lockups |
| 14:53 | <stuarta> | gbee: part of my problem is the thing is in use recording during my testing time |
| 14:53 | <danielk22> | I dunno, I don't think XvMC works with intel chips at the moment... but those drivers are being worked on, so this may have changed.. |
| 14:54 | <gbee> | stuarta: ditto :( |
| 14:54 | <Cardoe> | danielk22: well if we do --enable-xvmc --xvmc-lib=XvMCW, it won't hurt right? unless the user enables something using XvMC in mythfrontend? |
| 14:54 | <danielk22> | AFAIK: VIA is the only chipset where you need and want XvMC.. |
| 14:55 | <danielk22> | Cardoe: yes, it won't be enabled by default even if compiled in. |
| 14:55 | <Cardoe> | ok |
| 14:55 | * | stuarta goes to cook some tea. |
| 14:55 | <danielk22> | And regular XvMC shouldn't be unstable, just slow.. |
| 14:55 | <Cardoe> | I'm just trying to get this all right... less bug reports you guys get from Gentoo people doing the wrong thing.. better I feel. |
| 14:55 | <danielk22> | and studdery |
| 14:56 | <Cardoe> | oh the other question I had |
| 14:56 | <gbee> | ugh, I really need that option to avoid recording showings with sign language - scheduler decided to record a repeat of last weeks showing with sign language instead of the new showing this week :( |
| 14:56 | <Cardoe> | contrib/channel_changers |
| 14:56 | <Cardoe> | there's 2 tarballs in there |
| 14:57 | <Cardoe> | can we keep them in svn not tar'd up? |
| 14:58 | <Cardoe> | I was actually thinking of writing up some makefiles for the contrib directory |
| 14:59 | <Cardoe> | dunno how you guys feel about that. |
| 15:00 | <kormoc> | I'm gonna be adding another c app to contrib, but I don't think they should make or install by default |
| 15:00 | <Cardoe> | no not like that. |
| 15:01 | <Cardoe> | make -f Makefile.sa3250ch |
| 15:01 | <Cardoe> | make -f Makefile.red_eye |
| 15:01 | <kormoc> | Can't they just be in subfolders and thus just make will work? |
| 15:01 | <kormoc> | Make it easier for the enduser that way I'd wager |
| 15:01 | <Cardoe> | the other idea would be to re-order the stuff like that yes. |
| 15:02 | <Cardoe> | problem is I'd need someone with commit access to work with me |
| 15:02 | <Cardoe> | because providing a patch would be.. well.. ungainly |
| 15:03 | <kormoc> | I can work with ya, assuming no one objects to the restructure |
| 15:03 | <Cardoe> | oh. does anyone use the udev script stuff? |
| 15:04 | <Cardoe> | because if that's the recommended way to go.. that might be good to be moved into the main pkg |
| 15:04 | <Cardoe> | since udev is the default thing for every distro now days |
| 15:06 | <danielk22> | The udev script allows for better automounting behaviour, but I haven't tested it lately. Nigel did a lot of work on automounting since then... |
| 15:09 | <Cardoe> | I actually kicked an idea around for adding D-Bus support to mythfrontend |
| 15:09 | <danielk22> | As for restructure of contrib and build scripts, this has been talked about, but no one has found the time. I think it would be appreciated.. Also in libs/libmythtv/hdhomerun there is a Makefile + binary that are not compiled or installed normally, it's really something which should be a contrib binary. (It allows you to setup the hdhomerun ir receiver, upgrade firmware, etc.) |
| 15:09 | <Cardoe> | and in that using HAL for the media detection |
| 15:09 | <Cardoe> | in addition to that providing the network control interface via D-Bus |
| 15:10 | <kormoc> | danielk22, kk, I'll take on the restructure |
| 15:10 | <Cardoe> | I have some idea patches.. they don't work at all I doubt they work against trunk for that |
| 15:11 | <Cardoe> | dunno how you guys feel about D-Bus |
| 15:11 | <kormoc> | As long as it's not required, I don't care. I just don't have dbus installed or running on any of my boxes |
| 15:11 | <kormoc> | or hal for that matter |
| 15:14 | <danielk22> | I had HAL running once on a new system, it consumed incredible amounts of CPU, it took a while just to get a VT switch to work so I could kill the process. |
| 15:15 | <Cardoe> | danielk22: sounds strange but ok |
| 15:15 | <gbee> | couple of years ago I had a bad experience with HAL, chewed up memory/cpu - caused me a lot of grief |
| 15:15 | <Cardoe> | Don't worry. you won't find me as a HAL lover |
| 15:16 | <Cardoe> | But, a lot of the media detection is a duplication of what they've got |
| 15:16 | <gbee> | been better since |
| 15:16 | <danielk22> | We need it anyway for other OS's & Linux systems without HAL.. |
| 15:16 | <gbee> | Cardoe: potentially what we've got can be platform independant though |
| 15:16 | <gbee> | snap |
| 15:17 | <Cardoe> | HAL is platform independent |
| 15:17 | <Cardoe> | save for Windows |
| 15:17 | <kormoc> | gbee, ooh, btw, Mythweather is creating tables with the engine forced as innodb. Not sure if we should be doing that |
| 15:18 | <kormoc> | Win32 is becoming a viable platform these days |
| 15:18 | <Cardoe> | Qt4 natively supports D-Bus |
| 15:18 | <Cardoe> | and future versions will actually integrate the HAL / D-Bus api calls |
| 15:19 | <gbee> | kormoc: yeah I noticed, can't do much about it at the moment, it's using foreign keys for deletion/updates so it's not simply a case of changing the engine to MyISAM |
| 15:19 | <kormoc> | what bout the win32 side of things? They just won't work or have fallbacks? |
| 15:19 | <kormoc> | gbee, hrm... None of the keys are marked foreign when I looked, but I only glanced at it |
| 15:19 | <Cardoe> | kormoc: afaik, there is a project to provide the similiar or same D-Bus calls on Windows. |
| 15:20 | <gbee> | Cardoe: at that time it might make more sense, since QT will do the abstraction that the media monitor currently handles |
| 15:20 | <kormoc> | I really need to head to work... |
| 15:20 | <Cardoe> | kormoc: we're talking very future Qt releases here |
| 15:20 | <Cardoe> | 4.5 specifically |
| 15:20 | <Cardoe> | or whatever it'll be called |
| 15:21 | <Chutt> | i dislike that qt4 is built on glib. |
| 15:21 | <kormoc> | Well, given Trolltech was bought out, who knows what will happen between now and a 4.5 or 5 release |
| 15:21 | <gbee> | kormoc: http://pastebin.ca/917963 |
| 15:21 | -!- | cattelan [n=cattelan@12.155.21.102] has joined #mythtv |
| 15:21 | <Cardoe> | Chutt: it's not built on it, it can simply share the main loop |
| 15:21 | <Chutt> | Cardoe, right, dependency, though |
| 15:22 | <Cardoe> | you can remove the depend |
| 15:22 | <Cardoe> | --disable-glib |
| 15:22 | <kormoc> | gbee, Hrm, yeah. Yours is using them all right. |
| 15:22 | <Chutt> | yeah, custom build, though |
| 15:22 | <Cardoe> | not a custom build here... |
| 15:22 | <Chutt> | :p |
| 15:22 | <Cardoe> | speak to you distro ;) |
| 15:22 | <Chutt> | i use a distro with packages and stuff =) |
| 15:23 | <Cardoe> | Chutt: my distro uses binary packages as well. |
| 15:23 | <kormoc> | I have packages too, they just take awhile to build tis all :P |
| 15:23 | <Chutt> | Cardoe, i had thought of just porting the fe/be communication to dbus once we switched to qt4, though |
| 15:23 | <danielk22> | before we get into distro wars let me just state: emacs > vi :) |
| 15:23 | <phatmonkey> | some thoughts on the website... these sites have caught my eye: http://www.adiumx.com/ http://www.djangoproject.com/ - simple, to the point, very good use of trac indeed in both instances. I do like the idea of a blog instead of news |
| 15:23 | <gnome42> | hahaha! :) |
| 15:24 | <gbee> | lmao |
| 15:24 | * | kormoc gets out the vi bible and starts thumping heads |
| 15:24 | <Chutt> | assuming it worked on windows/etc |
| 15:24 | <Cardoe> | Chutt: interesting |
| 15:24 | <Cardoe> | Chutt: have to test how quick D-Bus is first though |
| 15:24 | <Chutt> | right |
| 15:25 | <kormoc> | phatmonkey, Personally, I find django's website to be rather... cluttered and very busy |
| 15:25 | * | xris wants an hdhomerun now... time to start saving. |
| 15:25 | <phatmonkey> | xris: was it you doing the site? |
| 15:25 | <xris> | mythtv.org? yeah |
| 15:25 | <gbee> | phatmonkey: prefer news personally, so long as it's updated regularly you get the facts without having to wade through someone elses life story and commentary |
| 15:26 | <Cardoe> | Chutt: but you're right about glib.. it's an all or nothing thing.. they don't have it as a module. |
| 15:26 | <phatmonkey> | have you considered some sort of easy way for new users to get started with mythtv? maybe some sort of step by step... do you have a computer? do you have an operating system installed? what operating system? |
| 15:26 | <Chutt> | Cardoe, i just have an unreasonable hate of g* =) |
| 15:26 | * | kormoc blinks |
| 15:26 | <phatmonkey> | mythtv probably isn't ready for idiot users yet (think the ubuntu download page), but it might be worth thinking about |
| 15:26 | <kormoc> | phatmonkey, that seems overly hand holding... not really the audience we cater to |
| 15:27 | <phatmonkey> | it might be worth linking to companies which provide ready to go boxes and distros like mythbuntu, depending on what they want |
| 15:27 | <xris> | phatmonkey: the "mythtv in detail" should cover the "all of what mythtv does" and "screenshots"... but there are plenty of howto pages out there for mythtv, which will definitely get linked from the new website. |
| 15:27 | <kormoc> | We already link to distos and the like in the wiki |
| 15:27 | <phatmonkey> | xris: ok |
| 15:27 | <xris> | kormoc: distro downloads will go on the new website, too. |
| 15:27 | <phatmonkey> | kormoc: it's hard to find and confusing for new users though |
| 15:28 | <phatmonkey> | kormoc: you have to wade through a lot of bollocks on the wiki to get to any substance |
| 15:28 | <xris> | phatmonkey: that's part of the reason for the new website |
| 15:28 | <kormoc> | I donno, most users have a distro picked out before they find out about myth imho |
| 15:28 | <xris> | (though the main reason is to get off of phpnuke so we don't get hacked again) |
| 15:28 | <GreyFoxx> | Do we have a simple "flush all video frames" function somewhere I'm just not seeing? |
| 15:30 | <gbee> | GreyFoxx: yeah |
| 15:30 | <GreyFoxx> | SeekReset seems to still decode/process them all |
| 15:30 | <phatmonkey> | xris: yeah, phpnuke is rather naff |
| 15:30 | <phatmonkey> | I know it's radical, but what about a single wiki? |
| 15:30 | <gbee> | NuppelVideoPlayer::DiscardVideoFrames |
| 15:30 | <phatmonkey> | http://trac.adiumx.com/ is fantastic - straight to the point |
| 15:31 | <GreyFoxx> | gbee: Is t here a similar flushing for audio or would that even be needed? |
| 15:32 | <gbee> | GreyFoxx: from avfd you'd probably want VideoOutput::DiscardFrames(bool) |
| 15:32 | <phatmonkey> | that's even used for the content pages, linked from the front page - http://www.adiumx.com/ |
| 15:33 | <gbee> | GreyFoxx: there is something similar, but I'll have to check, give me a second |
| 15:34 | <kormoc> | phatmonkey, trac's wiki doesn't really handle much content very well (it's search is too ingrained with the rest of trac) |
| 15:34 | <kormoc> | nor does it scale to many hits very well and we don't have static caching in place |
| 15:34 | <GreyFoxx> | gbee: main reason I ask is that I'm playing an mkv with audio disabled, (just like the preview window) and after a DoFastForward, it calls SeekReset which then loops through discarding frames. and in this case It's dropping 800 or so frames and appears to be decoding them before discarding them |
| 15:35 | -!- | kormoc [n=kormoc@unaffiliated/kormoc] has quit [] |
| 15:37 | <phatmonkey> | maybe it's worth making better use of the wiki then. there could be a clear split between user docs on mediawiki and developer docs on trac, both of which would share the same design with the rest of the site. nothing complex, but similar to what adium have done with keeping the headers on trac |
| 15:38 | <xris> | phatmonkey: the wiki is a user thing.. separate from the "official documentation" |
| 15:39 | <xris> | which is separate from the dev docs, too |
| 15:40 | <gbee> | GreyFoxx: not an expert on the AVF code, I can't say for certain that DiscardFrames() is what you'd want to use in that situation but it will probably work |
| 15:40 | <gbee> | AudioOutput::Reset() will clear the audio buffer |
| 15:41 | <xris> | phatmonkey: the "support overview" page on the new website will hopefully clarify all of that sort of stuff |
| 15:41 | <phatmonkey> | xris: yeah |
| 15:41 | <xris> | GreyFoxx: did you ever get your mp4 video playback fix committed? |
| 15:42 | -!- | cattelan [n=cattelan@12.155.21.102] has quit ["This computer has gone to sleep"] |
| 15:43 | <gbee> | I just needed to check that's how we flushed it for video stuff, it's what we use in mythmusic after seeking but there may have been a preferred method for NVP |
| 15:43 | <phatmonkey> | xris: it's a matter of taste, but I must protest against the fixed headers and footers. there's a reason nobody does it - it uses up valuable screen space! |
| 15:43 | <phatmonkey> | and is rather unexpected |
| 15:43 | <xris> | phatmonkey: not that much space used. |
| 15:44 | <phatmonkey> | xris: I will agree with you if you find a large site that does it! |
| 15:44 | <xris> | I'd love to get rid of the footer, but can't get rid of the copyright stuff. |
| 15:44 | <xris> | phatmonkey: big site != "does things the right way" |
| 15:45 | <laga> | xris: true. if you've ever been to intel.com.. |
| 15:45 | <phatmonkey> | make the footer stick the bottom then |
| 15:45 | <phatmonkey> | as a user, I barely ever need to read the footer content |
| 15:45 | <phatmonkey> | it's barmy |
| 15:45 | <xris> | phatmonkey: show me a css way to get it to stick to the bottom with minimal page content and I will |
| 15:45 | <mattwire> | anyone else unable to access the svn server at the moment? |
| 15:45 | <hads> | mattwire: Yeah, I can't get to mythtv.org either. |
| 15:46 | <xris> | would rather have it fixed to the bottom of the window than displayed halfway up the page if there isn't much content on the screen |
| 15:46 | <mattwire> | seems to be getting 300ms pings |
| 15:46 | <mattwire> | but no http responses |
| 15:46 | <phatmonkey> | xris: I strongly disagree! |
| 15:46 | <hads> | apache probably exploded |
| 15:46 | <xris> | phatmonkey: that's the wonderful thing about opinions. :) |
| 15:46 | <phatmonkey> | I would hope you wouldn't have many pages with not much content... |
| 15:47 | <xris> | phatmonkey: it's about consistency, not quantity |
| 15:47 | <phatmonkey> | xris: opinions are opinions, but you are going against all possible conventions |
| 15:47 | <xris> | hads: yeah, I can't seem to ssh into the server itself, either. not a good sign |
| 15:47 | <hads> | Ug |
| 15:47 | <xris> | phatmonkey: site is only about 10% done. |
| 15:47 | <GreyFoxx> | xris: yes, it's in there. But seeking is a little clitchy which is what I'm looking at now |
| 15:48 | <xris> | GreyFoxx: better than the segfault I get now. |
| 15:48 | <GreyFoxx> | yeah :) |
| 15:48 | <GreyFoxx> | It plays, and you can pause just don't seek |
| 15:48 | <phatmonkey> | xris: fair enough :) |
| 15:48 | <GreyFoxx> | I have seeking almost working no with mp4 and mkv's.... I can taste it |
| 15:48 | <xris> | phatmonkey: that's why I want an art person. |
| 15:48 | <GreyFoxx> | now I mean |
| 15:48 | <xris> | GreyFoxx: I'll have to recompile when svn comes back |
| 15:49 | <phatmonkey> | xris: yeah, I'm not an arty person at all I'm afraid |
| 15:49 | <phatmonkey> | xris: have you considered something web 2.0-ey like http://www.getmiro.com/ |
| 15:49 | <xris> | phatmonkey: yeah, it's rather unfortunate that the FOSS community seems to lack art/UI people the most |
| 15:49 | <GreyFoxx> | I have acouple upnp fixes to put in in the next day too |
| 15:49 | <GreyFoxx> | I just need to test them at home with music and recordings |
| 15:50 | <phatmonkey> | gorgeous site, but I'm not sure if mythtv needs something so mainstream |
| 15:50 | <xris> | phatmonkey: considered.. but I'm not about to code it. |
| 15:50 | <danielk22> | hey is mythtv.org down? |
| 15:50 | <phatmonkey> | but then again, with the windows version on the horizon, maybe something like that is needed |
| 15:50 | <phatmonkey> | danielk22: I was wondering that |
| 15:50 | <xris> | phatmonkey: there are some of the mockups that were submitted when I asked for them.. but then no one came forward to actually put in the work: http://forevermore.net/mythtv/mockups/ |
| 15:50 | <xris> | danielk22: seems to be. I can't even get to the server. |
| 15:50 | <danielk22> | drat! |
| 15:51 | <phatmonkey> | ok, before the new site... better server ;) |
| 15:51 | <xris> | wait, there it is now |
| 15:51 | <hads> | Yup |
| 15:51 | <xris> | load is 12 |
| 15:52 | <xris> | restarting apache |
| 15:52 | <xris> | load is 17 |
| 15:52 | <phatmonkey> | meltdown... |
| 15:52 | <xris> | something's hitting trac pretty hard |
| 15:53 | <phatmonkey> | dos? |
| 15:53 | <danielk22> | svn.mythtv.org still not responding here.. |
| 15:53 | <danielk22> | nevermind... just real slow... |
| 15:53 | <gbee> | xris: it's been having problems for the last two/three weeks? Whatever it is, it isn't a one off |
| 15:54 | <gbee> | maybe the access logs might shed some light |
| 15:54 | <Cardoe> | Chutt said it was something with the apache configs |
| 15:54 | <gbee> | Cardoe: yeah, but that was fixed I thought - and I believe it was the trac config |
| 15:54 | <xris> | restarting apache on svn, too |
| 15:54 | <xris> | (trac) |
| 15:55 | <dekarl> | Oh, you're talking website stuff, mind to take a look at http://svn.mythtv.org/trac/ticket/4749 ? |
| 15:56 | <xris> | ok, svn seems to work better for me now. |
| 15:56 | <xris> | load is back to 4 and dropping |
| 15:56 | <phatmonkey> | dekarl: yeah, wiki.mythtv.org/Main_Page would be nice |
| 15:56 | <phatmonkey> | xris: what do the access logs say? |
| 15:58 | <xris> | no time to look |
| 15:59 | <phatmonkey> | it might worth getting cvs.mythtv.org to redirect to svn.mythtv.org |
| 15:59 | <phatmonkey> | that always confuses me |
| 16:00 | <ma9mwah> | when i compile trunk it optimises it against the processor type i've got. what do the precompiled version do? and do the processor specific compiles make much difference? |
| 16:02 | <danielk22> | ma9mwah, wrong IRC channel.. |
| 16:02 | -!- | aevil [n=aevil@ip-78-94-247-12.reserved.ish.de] has joined #mythtv |

| 16:07 | <xris> | not to mention that mythtv doesn't offer a precompiled version. heh |
| 16:09 | <phatmonkey> | on that note, mythtv really needs some precompiled OS X versions on mythtv.org |
| 16:09 | <phatmonkey> | sorry to sit here providing critisism - a couple of years sitting around watching things is all pouring out! |
| 16:10 | <phatmonkey> | put me to work, I'm willing to assist with website stuff in particular |
| 16:12 | <dekarl> | phatmonkey: release builds and maybe nightly build for the major platforms would be nice, I like the openttd.org way of providing them easily |
| 16:13 | <laga> | nightly builds for the major platforms? hum |
| 16:13 | <phatmonkey> | dekarl: the builds for linux distributions seems to be pretty solid (package management solves that), but OS X builds for myth are really sporadic |
| 16:13 | <phatmonkey> | I don't really know which builds to trust |
| 16:13 | <laga> | currently, not even packaging scripts are allowed/supposed to live on svn.mythtv.org |
| 16:14 | <phatmonkey> | for example, I current use http://www.macvana.com/mythtv/ for nightly OS X builds, but I don't have a clue if it's actually trustworthy |
| 16:14 | <dekarl> | I can't find that much references to any package builds on the homepage... |
| 16:14 | <dekarl> | I'd love to help out with that (been there, done that) but I have no idea about availible resources or debian/ubunto packaging |
| 16:15 | <phatmonkey> | mythbuntu, debian multimedia |
| 16:15 | <phatmonkey> | it's out there, it's just not referenced from mythtv.org |
| 16:17 | <xris> | phatmonkey: I can't even get it to compile in leopard, or I might consider it. |
| 16:17 | <phatmonkey> | http://www.videolan.org/vlc/ - I quite like the way they've done their downloads on the front page |
| 16:17 | <dekarl> | well, debian-multimedia moved from trunk to fixes some time ago... So no joy with nightlies |
| 16:17 | <phatmonkey> | news really needn't live on the front page, at the very most a little box showing the latest news item |
| 16:18 | <phatmonkey> | xris: it might be worth finding out how all those unofficial sites do their builds |
| 16:18 | <phatmonkey> | get their scripts and whatnot |
| 16:18 | -!- | TelnetManta [n=benwilli@72.159.132.4] has quit ["Ex-Chat"] |
| 16:19 | <phatmonkey> | xris: I can have a shot at organising it if you want? |
| 16:19 | <laga> | dekarl: mythbuntu package scripts ought to work on debian as well. |
| 16:19 | <xris> | not much of a script needed. my problem's lib related.. |
| 16:20 | <dekarl> | laga: great, you don't happen to run nightly builds? |
| 16:20 | <phatmonkey> | xris: I wonder how machavana do their nightly builds |
| 16:20 | <laga> | dekarl: weekly builds |
| 16:21 | <phatmonkey> | laga: do you do those weekly builds? |
| 16:21 | <dekarl> | laga: nice, where can I sign up? :) |
| 16:21 | <laga> | phatmonkey: depends. i'm the guy who basically kicked off the effort. |
| 16:22 | <laga> | dekarl: https://code.launchpad.net/~mythbuntu/mythbuntu/mythbuntu-weekly-build |
| 16:22 | <phatmonkey> | laga: well, it's just switched to 0.21 fixes instead of trunk. is it going to stay that way? |
| 16:22 | <laga> | dekarl: this script will generate source packages for mythtv and mythplugins. |
| 16:22 | <dekarl> | laga: thanks, looks ubuntuish to me though |
| 16:22 | <phatmonkey> | at least the update I did today was from the fixes branch |
| 16:22 | <laga> | phatmonkey: it'll probably move back to trunk once 0.21 is released. |
| 16:23 | <laga> | phatmonkey: trunk and fixes are about the same at the moment. |
| 16:23 | <laga> | dekarl: you probably had 10s to take a look. |

| 16:23 | * | j-rod has his own "make me an rpm, dammit" script pulling from 0.21-fixes atm too |
| 16:24 | <phatmonkey> | laga: yeah. I suppose if I switch to the hardy repos once 0.21 is released, it should just upgrade seamlessly shouldn't it |
| 16:24 | <phatmonkey> | or I could stick with the weeklys and live on the edge |
| 16:25 | <phatmonkey> | xris: how do official OS X builds sound? |
| 16:25 | <laga> | i'll probably stick with 0.21 so i dunno who'll update the packaging scripts. |
| 16:25 | <phatmonkey> | presumably a similar thing can be done with the windows version once that's usable |
| 16:26 | <dekarl> | laga: indeed, was just guessing from the url that I won't find a debian package repo there. Looks like it's the build scripts |
| 16:26 | <xris> | phatmonkey: I'd love to see them. but won't happen until after .21 gets released... |
| 16:26 | <xris> | but it's just a file to upload, so that's no big deal. |
| 16:27 | <j-rod> | xris: *cough* licensing... |
| 16:27 | <xris> | my problem, like I said, is that it doesn't actually compile in leopard. |
| 16:27 | <xris> | j-rod: licensing? |
| 16:27 | <j-rod> | there's a reason there aren't any binary packages for Linux on mythtv.org... |
| 16:27 | <laga> | dekarl: it's a script which makes source packages. not sure if it's currently making theme packages. it used to, but superm1 probably disabled it. no big deal to add it back, but i'm somewhat out of spin these days |
| 16:27 | <phatmonkey> | xris: what about daily builds? or do you think that's something worth keeping unofficial |
| 16:27 | <xris> | oh... mp3, etc... |
| 16:27 | <xris> | j-rod: thanks for the sanity. |
| 16:27 | <j-rod> | np :) |
| 16:27 | <xris> | phatmonkey: think about what j-rod just said. |
| 16:28 | <laga> | dekarl: https://code.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-mythtv/mythtv/mythtv-fixes <- for example, this is the debian/ directory for mythtv |
| 16:28 | <j-rod> | oh, finally got my stupid os x box behaving again, will be getting back to trying to build a working package soonish |
| 16:28 | <xris> | j-rod: btw, I put an ohci 1.1 firewire card into my mythbox this weekend... so now I can finally upgrade to f-8 if I want. |
| 16:28 | <xris> | cool. let me know if you can figure out how to get around that libGL path thing I have. |
| 16:28 | <phatmonkey> | isn't mythtv gpl? |
| 16:28 | <xris> | I can't even seem to manually override it |
| 16:28 | <j-rod> | xris: 'cept I think pulling from a cable box still not workie |
| 16:28 | <xris> | phatmonkey: yes it is, and that's the problem. mp3 is not. |
| 16:29 | <phatmonkey> | ah. |
| 16:29 | <xris> | nor are a lot of the mpeg routines, etc. |
| 16:29 | <j-rod> | phatmonkey: its a patent issue, not a license issue, sorry |
| 16:29 | <phatmonkey> | http://www.videolan.org/vlc/ - how do they do it? |
| 16:29 | <j-rod> | they aren't in the US |
| 16:29 | <phatmonkey> | as a random example i had in my clipboard! |
| 16:30 | <danielk22> | mpeg1 is almost out of patents by now isn't it? I thought Nokia brought that argument up for why not to use OGG.. |
| 16:30 | <gbee> | phatmonkey: just look at Elisa - selling themselves as the next great media player, but you have to pay extra before you can play mpeg files |
| 16:30 | <phatmonkey> | so say, I hosted some "official"-ish builds from here in the UK, which were linked to from your site as "official"-ish, that would be ok? |
| 16:30 | <danielk22> | not that there aren't lots of bonehead patents out there.. |
| 16:30 | <j-rod> | phatmonkey: possibly. |
| 16:30 | <xris> | phatmonkey: mythtv itself is still in the US. you'd have to ask Isaac how he feels about that. |
| 16:31 | <gbee> | phatmonkey: doesn't really get around the patent issues I suspect, there will be regional versions of the patent submission |
| 16:31 | <phatmonkey> | I don't like having to get OS X builds from some slightly dodgy looking site |
| 16:32 | <xris> | j-rod: cable box stuff still broken in rawhide? thought you guys fixed that. lack of a recent fedora box is preventing me from keeping my packages up to date for f-9 release. I tried to install the f9 alpha in vmware but it breaks vmware. heh |
| 16:32 | <dekarl> | laga: thanks, looks like one can find a good base for package building there. If someone is setting up nightlies I can lend a hand. |
| 16:32 | <phatmonkey> | have any of the patent owners actually ever made a move? sounds like one of those things which OSS packages just break regardless |
| 16:32 | <j-rod> | xris: there's an off chance it actually works with an ohci 1.1 controller, haven't actually tried it... |
| 16:32 | <xris> | ah |
| 16:32 | <j-rod> | xris: been mostly working on firewire storage stuff lately, still need to get back to firewire video... |
| 16:32 | <xris> | I'll upgrade to f-9 when it comes out... |
| 16:33 | <gbee> | phatmonkey: can you afford to be the first person they do sue? |
| 16:33 | <j-rod> | I have a spec that is building everything just fine on f9 now, fwiw |
| 16:33 | <laga> | dekarl: if you run into trouble with those scripts, there's a mailing list (see www.mythbuntu.org ) |
| 16:34 | <xris> | j-rod: slick. can you email it to me? |
| 16:34 | <xris> | I was speaking of my "official" fedora packages, but mythtv works, too. :) |
| 16:34 | <xris> | something in the latest gcc upgrade rebuild broke all of the packages I maintain.. but I don't have a new enough fedora to test/recompile them on my own. |
| 16:35 | <j-rod> | xris: oh, heh |
| 16:35 | <phatmonkey> | gbee: well they would cease and desist first wouldn't they? I'd probably cease and desist pretty quickly! |
| 16:35 | <j-rod> | xris: yum install mock. :) |
| 16:35 | <j-rod> | mock -r fedora-devel-<arch> package |
| 16:36 | <j-rod> | I had to patch up a bunch of my own packages |
| 16:36 | <j-rod> | and mythtv. :) |
| 16:36 | <j-rod> | (mostly trivial header includes) |
| 16:36 | <phatmonkey> | surely there's some way to do what the ubuntu gstreamer apps do - just not use mp3 unless it's been specifically installed |
| 16:36 | <dekarl> | laga: for the moment I'm into other things (not enough time to learn Linux packaging from scratch) just offering a helping hand should someone think about setting up some cruisecontrol vm cluster or something |
| 16:36 | <j-rod> | xris: http://devel.wilsonet.com/junk/mythtv.spec |
| 16:36 | <laga> | dekarl: PPAs are fine for weekly builds :) (launchpad's personal package archive = PPA) |
| 16:37 | <gbee> | phatmonkey: dunno what the law is on the issue, but I don't think they are required to be polite - they might be more likely to do that because entering litigation is expensive but distros etc can't really afford to take that chance |
| 16:37 | <phatmonkey> | I wonder where the ubuntu mp3 libraries are hosted. I know there are all sorts of warnings before you enable it to make sure it's legal in your country - maybe it's the usage not the hosting which is the problem |
| 16:37 | <phatmonkey> | yeah |
| 16:38 | <xris> | j-rod: th |
| 16:38 | <xris> | thx |
| 16:38 | <phatmonkey> | it seems silly not to distribute binaries for a reason most open source projects seem to just disregard |
| 16:39 | <j-rod> | phatmonkey: there are some very very grey areas... but ubuntu hq is nowhere near the US, so they can play it a bit fast and loose vs. other distros w/hq in the US |
| 16:39 | <phatmonkey> | j-rod: yeah, I understand |
| 16:40 | <j-rod> | while most of us in the US think the patent stuff is bullshit, we like not having to worry about potentially losing our shirts... |
| 16:41 | <j-rod> | xris: fyi, mythmusic aac support won't build w/the latest livna faad2 |
| 16:41 | <j-rod> | axel patches his, but its a bit unsavory, since its building against a library that is apparently supposed to be private to faad2 |
| 16:42 | <xris> | j-rod: yeah, I know. it hasn't in ages. I'm more concerned about mp4 video playback. heh |
| 16:42 | <phatmonkey> | xris: what do you think of using wiki.mythtv.org/Main_Page instead of mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/Main_Page? |
| 16:42 | <j-rod> | I built a hacked up faad2 locally and used that, so I do have support enabled in my own local build |
| 16:42 | <j-rod> | not that I actually use mythmusic, mind you |
| 16:44 | <phatmonkey> | I really know very little about OS X development, but how do OS X apps play mp3? |
| 16:44 | <phatmonkey> | surely there are some libraries on OS X already that can be linked to? |
| 16:45 | <j-rod> | Apple licenses the mp3 codec |
| 16:46 | <j-rod> | in theory, someone could possibly code things up for an os x build to use quicktime for everything, but that'd be a big effort, and would make the os x code a lot different than the linux code |
| 16:49 | <dekarl> | In practice one might as well port the whole of MythTV to GStreamer, doesn't sound like a lot more work... (but still a whole lot of work that nobody wants to do) |
| 16:50 | <laga> | dekarl: how does that solve any problems? |
| 16:50 | <laga> | dekarl: you mean it'd be possible to use "free" codecs? |
| 16:51 | <dekarl> | laga: no, but the codecs would not be linked into mythtv itself. |
| 16:52 | <xris> | phatmonkey: I don't have control of that server |
| 16:53 | <xris> | I think it's a holdover from bad vhost setup on the machine that used to host the wiki |
| 16:54 | <dekarl> | xris: so the dns entry still points to the old wiki host? |
| 16:57 | <xris> | dekarl: no. just that no one has gone in and cleaned up the apache config |
| 16:58 | <dekarl> | xris: i see, was confused by the "no control" statement |
| 16:59 | <xris> | dekarl: Snow-Man runs the servers. I just help out |
| 16:59 | <xris> | I try to limit my day to day help to resetting apache when it freaks out |
| 17:00 | <dekarl> | can you assign #4749 to him? |
| 17:00 | <xris> | huh? |
| 17:01 | <xris> | trac is for code stuff |
| 17:01 | <xris> | I don't think he checks trac |
| 17:01 | <dekarl> | where do we collect infrastructure issues then? |
| 17:01 | <xris> | but he'll see this conversation |
