| 09:46 | <Cardoe> | well I took the plunge last night and upgraded my 0.20.x to 0.21 |
| 09:46 | <Cardoe> | everything went smooth |
| 09:46 | <Cardoe> | font size changed to something smaller |
| 09:47 | <Cardoe> | and the sound is out but I'm thinking something got muted (I was trying to test it while the fiancee is telling me it's time for bed) |
| 10:00 | <janneg> | Cardoe: I've fixed -mtune vs -mcpu in trunk, I'll merge it to 0-21-fixes tomorrow |
| 10:02 | <sphery> | Cardoe: Font size changed because Myth now normalizes font sizes appropriately and no longer depends on a 100x100DPI X setup. Before, your X wasn't at 100x100DPI. |

| 10:22 | <superm1> | sphery, interesting. so maybe the workaround in our gdm-cdd.conf can be ditched then |
| 10:31 | <Cardoe> | superm1: you guys use gdm to login? |
| 10:31 | <superm1> | yeah |
| 10:31 | <Cardoe> | why? |
| 10:32 | <superm1> | because then existing ubuntu setups can easily switch |
| 10:32 | <superm1> | and because it works well and is themeable |
| 10:32 | <superm1> | has a failsafe mode if people need it |
| 10:32 | <laga> | because it's so sweet when people complain that "gdm is not needed on a appliance" |
| 10:32 | <Cardoe> | gtk+ and such is a pretty heavy depend |
| 10:33 | <superm1> | well our control centre is already gtk+ |
| 10:33 | <superm1> | and so is xfce |
| 10:33 | <laga> | Cardoe: mythbuntu uses xfce4 etc, which also uses gtk |
| 10:33 | <superm1> | so it's not like most of it won't already come from that |

| 10:35 | <sphery> | superm1: Should be possible to get rid of it. The only requirement is that the aspect ratio must be properly specified (but the DPI can be anything, so long as it's proportional to the "real" value). This also means that Myth 0.21 should work better for users with 16:10 displays or for users without square pixels. |
| 10:35 | <Cardoe> | sphery: Any fix for the issue that the config windows span off the edge of the screen? |
| 10:35 | <superm1> | sphery, i'll do some experimentation on my tv and see how other applications that normally run look too then |
| 10:36 | <Cardoe> | but playback and media library etc are fine |
| 10:36 | <Cardoe> | just the setup windows |
| 10:36 | <sphery> | Cardoe: That one requires modification of the setup stuff. Should get fixed when setup moves to mythui (post 0.21 ;). |
| 10:37 | <Cardoe> | I've heard that before. |
| 10:37 | <Cardoe> | Since like 0.16 ;) |
| 10:37 | <sphery> | IIRC, there are some issues with 800x600 or smaller displays. I plan to look into that this week and post some patches if required (I think those are only in the frontend settings). The mythtv-setup stuff is just trying to cram too much on one page, so with overscan, etc., it doesn't always fit. |
| 10:38 | <Cardoe> | this is a 720p widescreen LCD TV |
| 10:38 | <sphery> | Are you underscanning the signal to compensate for the TV's overscan? |
| 10:38 | <Cardoe> | no |
| 10:39 | <sphery> | Otherwise, it's probably just drawing, i.e. Back/Next/Finish buttons outside the visible area. |
| 10:39 | <Cardoe> | if it is, it's something myth did on it's own |
| 10:39 | <Cardoe> | the back/next/finish are mostly visible |
| 10:39 | <sphery> | We didn't build in a safe-action area or anything in mythtv-setup. |
| 10:39 | <Cardoe> | the issue are the checkboxes on the left hand side |
| 10:39 | <Cardoe> | they're way off the edge |
| 10:39 | <Cardoe> | so no idea if something is checked or no |
| 10:39 | <Cardoe> | t |
| 10:39 | <superm1> | i've seen that happen too in VM installs |
| 10:40 | * | laga too on his 720x576 TV |

| 10:40 | <sphery> | I'll watch for it when looking over the settings/mythtv-seutp stuff. Wild guess... Could it be something to do with the QT theme? Did you try changing QT themes (in Myth's settings). |
| 10:41 | -!- | onixian [n=xian@host-84-223-96-241.cust-adsl.tiscali.it] has joined #mythtv |
| 10:42 | <Cardoe> | i.e. Desktop, Windows, etc? |
| 10:44 | <Cardoe> | because that entry field has been blank for as long as I can remember |
| 10:44 | <sphery> | Sounds right. It's the setting called "Qt Style". I'm using platinum (seems most visible). |
| 10:44 | <Cardoe> | don't think I have a platinum choice but I'll double check during lunch (about 2 hrs from now) |
| 10:46 | <sphery> | Hmmm. Noticed on my backend (never configured as a frontend), it defaults to blank. Looking at the code to see what that does. |

| 10:51 | <sphery> | Cardoe: Seems that blank causes Myth to use whatever QT's default style (on the system) is. I forgot the name of the program you use to set the style for QT, but you could use that to set a system-wide default. |

| 11:52 | <Cardoe> | sphery: you realize I remember when 0.17 was suppose to be a release where the only changes were to mythui |
| 11:53 | <Chutt> | =) |
| 11:53 | <briand> | i just woke up from a coma -- is 0.21 out now? |
| 11:54 | <GreyFoxx> | within the next few days/week |
| 11:54 | <Cardoe> | sphery: but I've also been saying since like 0.12 that I really need to find some more time to dedicate to MythTV stuffs |
| 11:55 | <briand> | tnx, GreyFoxx ... |
| 11:55 | <briand> | I've been consumed playing with my new internet tablet (n800). |
| 11:56 | <briand> | and, despite all my b*tch*ng about uPnP in the past, I was quite amazed to see my mythtv box show up under the "Shared Media" folder in the file manager.. and let me stream video or audio to the n800. |
| 11:56 | <beavis_> | Active tickets: |
| 11:56 | <beavis_> | 71 |
| 12:01 | <GreyFoxx> | briand: heh |
| 12:02 | <GreyFoxx> | Assuming noone complains I'm gonna commit a change to allow seeking in mkv/mov/mp4 files which shouldn't affect playback of anything else |
| 12:03 | <GreyFoxx> | The "hack" as I prefer to call it rather than fix only comes into play in situations where we had seeking failues before anyway |
| 12:03 | <GreyFoxx> | http://www.phaze.org/mythtv/seekfix.diff for anyone who wants to try it on recent svn |
| 12:06 | <gbee> | Cardoe: of course nothing is guarenteed when it comes to MythTV, with few devs and even little time it's suprising the work which does get done, but I've set my heart on eliminating as much old ui code as I can for 0.22 |

| 12:09 | <gbee> | tempted to close #4828 simply because the code isn't going to exist in 0.22 (hopefully) |
| 12:13 | <Deek> | looking fwd to 0.21, just ran into the "mythtranscode dies on discontinuity" bug |

| 13:02 | <Deek> | hmm, would it theoretically be possible for a myth .nuv to contain an a52 (or some other 6+-channel) stream? |

| 13:10 | <gbee> | Deek: for what purpose? |
| 13:12 | <Deek> | 6-channel HDTV recordings lose 4 of them on transcode to .nuv |
| 13:15 | <gbee> | just to be clear, why are you transcoding them? To remove commercials or to reduce their size? |
| 13:15 | <Deek> | both. |
| 13:16 | -!- | robthebob [n=rn114@robthebob.plus.com] has joined #mythtv |
| 13:17 | <Deek> | To just get rid of commercials, I could do an autodetect xcode -- but I'd also like to convert 1080-30i to 720p-24 |
| 13:18 | <gbee> | yeah, which is what I was wondering really - ok :) |
| 13:18 | <gbee> | fwiw I don't really know anything of the NUV container but in theory I don't see why it should have a problem |
| 13:18 | <Deek> | (while keeping it as a recording instead of a video) |
| 13:19 | <gbee> | although maybe at some point we might switch containers to something that is more universally recognised (not my department since I don't use NUV at all) |

| 13:23 | <sphery> | Deek: I think Captain_Murdoch has started working on the idea of allowing the transcoder to transcode to any ffmpeg-supported format (for CODEC's, at least, but I know he's planning to allow some other container formats, too). |
| 13:24 | <Deek> | nice |
| 13:39 | <sphery> | Looks like #4787 is invalid. We have code (since r12151--initial SG commit) that checks if a storage group directory is writable (at libs/libmyth/storagegroup.cpp +277 ) and it still works (shows an error upon exiting mythtv-setup and asks if the user wants to fix it). Sent an e-mail to the -dev list (BCC'ed reported)--I think he ran mythtv-setup and mythbackend as different users. |

| 14:16 | <gbee> | anyone know if we keep track of the display aspect as determined from displaysize in a global method or as a setting? |
| 14:20 | <gbee> | Chutt: are we sticking to MyISAM or is there a chance that we could migrate to another more capable engine, such as InnoDB? or even a mix of types? |
| 14:21 | * | MrGandalf votes for a mix |
| 14:22 | <sphery> | I know a lot of users have converted their systems to use InnoDB (and possibly others). |
| 14:23 | <MrGandalf> | You're talking about in the CREATE, not converting existing I hope |
| 14:25 | <sphery> | If we put it in the CREATE, we'll probably have problems from users whose MySQL is compiled without InnoDB support (as in the ticket gbee must be looking at) unless we say that MySQL 5.x with InnoDB storage is a requirement for Myth. |
| 14:25 | <MrGandalf> | And why the push for InnoDB? |
| 14:26 | <gbee> | MrGandalf: if we are to use things like foreign keys then we'd had to convert tables to innodb |
| 14:26 | <MrGandalf> | I see |
| 14:26 | <MrGandalf> | just easier to manage MyISAM (from a single table restoration perspective) |
| 14:26 | <gbee> | and it's not that I'm especially pushing for it, even though I like the idea, I'm really just trying to decide whether it's a good use of my time to convert mythweather to use MyISAM instead |
| 14:27 | <stuarta> | however InnoDB should give us protection from things like the corruption of the seektable |
| 14:27 | <MrGandalf> | the seektable gets corrupt? I wasn't aware of that |
| 14:27 | <gbee> | yeah, InnoDB has a lot going in it's favour |
| 14:27 | <MrGandalf> | could explain some things |
| 14:27 | <sphery> | And row-level locking... |
| 14:28 | <MrGandalf> | ah |
| 14:28 | <stuarta> | MrGandalf: normally pops up in -users as "I can't seek" |
| 14:28 | <stuarta> | generally cause they've crashed their database sometime |
| 14:28 | <MrGandalf> | stuarta: get the same issues at times.. tend to ignore them though or rebuild |
| 14:28 | <Deek> | or in logs as "error deleting seektable" |
| 14:29 | <sphery> | Though MyISAM is supposed to be faster (barring locking issues due to table-level locks), so for those whose systems are already on the verge of MySQL collapse... |
| 14:29 | <stuarta> | hey i've got a few recordings atm that give me grief since i crashed my db |
| 14:29 | <stuarta> | commflag --rebuild doesn't work for them, tho transcode --buildindex seems to |
| 14:30 | <gbee> | for me, the main reason for switching to InnoDB would be foreign key contraints - which might not be entirely necessary for MythTV since orphaned records aren't a huge problem but it's still useful enough that it's worth consideration |
| 14:31 | <gbee> | sphery: that's why I'd use a mix - MyISAM for those tables where fast queries are a must-have and InnoDB where data integrity is more important |
| 14:32 | <sphery> | I'm happy either way. I don't have any of the DB performance issues that people on -users list seem to (even with MySQL defaults). :) |
| 14:32 | -!- | gezb [n=g@62-30-157-182.cable.ubr11.azte.blueyonder.co.uk] has joined #mythtv |
| 14:32 | <gbee> | but I think we'd get more mileage from a review of queries and optimisations than keeping MyISAM over InnoDB |
| 14:33 | <gbee> | MyISAM _is_ faster, but not in a way which would have a major impact on performance of a MythTV system IMHO |
| 14:33 | <sphery> | Yeah. And modifying those queries to take advantage of MySQL 5 features (and possibly even storage-engine features), would probably help a lot, too. |
| 14:33 | <gbee> | aye |
| 14:34 | <MrGandalf> | anything to speed up EIT I'm in favor of.. |
| 14:34 | <gbee> | there was a ticket just today pointing out an indexing fault which caused slowdowns (not confirmed it yet) |
| 14:34 | <sphery> | Though going to the embedded DB makes it a lot easier to dictate configuration... :) |
| 14:35 | <gbee> | sphery: aye, just more work overall even if it's the preferred long term goal |
| 14:37 | <gbee> | right now I'm having to be realistic about what I'm able to do in the next few weeks/months, so I'm ditching tickets so that I can concentrate on the tasks I'm most interested in seeing completed for 0.22 |
| 14:37 | <MrGandalf> | gbee: you have a ticket number? |
| 14:38 | <MrGandalf> | #4820 looks very interesting |
| 14:39 | <gbee> | MrGandalf: sorry, wasn't a ticket after all but a post to the -dev list "Index on programrating table on system column - why?" |
| 14:40 | <MrGandalf> | thanks |
| 14:40 | <gbee> | #4820, at least the last post to that ticket looks related to the changes that danielk22 decided to revert |
| 14:42 | <sphery> | gbee: Right. I also saw a conversation in -users that's almost definitely related. http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/mythtv/users/320070#320070 |
| 14:42 | <sphery> | I'm starting to think danielk22 may be planning to modify the code rather than a revert (since it hasn't been reverted, yet). |
| 14:43 | <gbee> | dunno, think it should be reverted until a better fix is ready since so many people are starting to use trunk in the run up to 0.21 |
| 14:44 | <sphery> | I considered reverting it in my personal tree, but haven't (and haven't had issues, yet). |
| 14:45 | <gbee> | neither have I, but I might revert it just to be safe |
| 14:47 | <gbee> | wouldn't mind if "record in this timeslot" was more flexible and recorded any showing that was within an hour or two |
| 14:56 | <sphery> | Interesting... In mythtv-setup, when loading the video source configuration info (takes a while to find SD lineups), the main menu screen is partially visible. The first time, only the clock part of it is, then after, all of it except the part covered by a little dialog ("Fetching lineups from Schedules Direct..."). |
| 14:56 | <sphery> | Probably not worth "fixing." |
| 15:03 | <Cardoe> | so is MythAppearance gone for 0.21? |
| 15:03 | <Cardoe> | that's in trunk for 0.22? |
| 15:03 | <GreyFoxx> | Merged into the main app, so yeah |
| 15:03 | <Cardoe> | so it's not a plugin at all then |
| 15:03 | <GreyFoxx> | not anymore |
| 15:03 | <Cardoe> | thanks |
| 15:04 | <sphery> | It's under "Screen Setup Wizards" in Utilities/Settings|Setup |
| 15:07 | <sphery> | Nice. I don't see any locations in mythtv-setup or mythfrontend settings where the screen doesn't fit in 800x600. Guess someone fixed the broken areas in the last couple of months. |
| 15:08 | <sphery> | Though, Cardoe, we still draw the Cancel/Back/Next buttons and some of the text (mainly headings) right up to the edge of the window (which might be overscanned offscreen). |
| 15:09 | <Cardoe> | sphery: my issue are the checkboxes |

| 15:28 | <hads> | It's more of a dark grey/green. |
| 15:28 | <sphery> | Did you try clearing your cache/forced refresh? Sounds like your CSS needs reloaded. (Mine's still dark blueish) |

| 15:56 | <stuarta> | unless filed under "Alpha Features" |
| 15:58 | <gbee> | is there any benefit to getting the display aspect once on startup (MythXGetPixelAspectRatio etc) then storing it in the database/settings cache? |
| 15:59 | <stuarta> | is it not kept in the gContext? |
| 15:59 | <Cardoe> | sphery: is there any documentation on the streaming? |
| 15:59 | <gbee> | nope, not as far as I can tell |
| 15:59 | <Cardoe> | i.e. can I pass parameter X to change the transcode on the fly parameters? |
| 15:59 | <xris> | Cardoe: you can enable it in the settings, but it's off by default |
| 16:00 | <sphery> | Cardoe: README talks a bit about streaming (but not the Flash stuff). And, README is now available through the web server. :) |
| 16:01 | <sphery> | http://mythwebhost/README |
| 16:03 | <Cardoe> | sphery: mentions nothing about tweaking the resulting stream |
| 16:03 | <Cardoe> | sphery: looked at it already |
| 16:07 | <Cardoe> | sphery: basically can I pass command line options to ffmpeg is what I'm curious about |
| 16:07 | <MrGandalf> | gbee: haven't seem MythXGetPixelAspectRatio in my db.. on that topic, which aspect ratio setting is the preferred in Myth? There seem to be several. |
| 16:08 | <MrGandalf> | s/seem/seen/ |
| 16:08 | <sphery> | Cardoe: Don't think so (unless kormoc recently added something for that). I think you have to edit the ffmpeg command line in the PHP source directly. |
| 16:08 | <gbee> | MrGandalf: no idea which is the 'correct' or preferred one |
| 16:09 | <gbee> | looks like we indirectly do store the physical display dimensions in mythcontextprivate, but I'm still looking into that |
| 16:10 | <gbee> | the XineramaDisplayAspect stuff is only used if we are using Xinerama because it's apparently not possible to query the physical display dimensions directly from X in that scenerio |
| 16:11 | <MrGandalf> | I just notice that was the only one set in my db. |
| 16:12 | <MrGandalf> | maybe AspectOverride |
| 16:12 | <MrGandalf> | I need to play around a bit.. hard to do that from work. |
| 16:17 | <gbee> | DisplayRes provides a method to get the display aspect, but that code path doesn't account for Xinerama setups, videout_xv calls on the methods in util_xv directly |
| 16:17 | <gbee> | so I'm not quite sure which is the 'correct' method I should use if I implement a GetDisplayAspect method in mythcontext |
| 16:17 | <Cardoe> | sphery: Gentoo doesn't install the README file into the web root by default. |
| 16:17 | <gbee> | danielk22: any thoughts? |
| 16:18 | <Cardoe> | sphery: Its a bit of a security issue since the current mythweb setup only allows for protecting the mythweb files and not the README |
| 16:18 | <xris> | huh? |

| 16:19 | <gbee> | I'd probably move the xinerama logic from videooutput_xv into DisplayResXV and provide a method in mythcontext to get the display aspect which can then be used whereever it is required |
| 16:19 | <Cardoe> | xris: the auth is inside a <Files> section |
| 16:19 | <xris> | what does it matter if the README is exposed, though? |
| 16:19 | <MrGandalf> | gbee: good idea |
| 16:20 | <Cardoe> | xris: if a directory is suppose to be protected, nothing inside of it should return a 200 |
| 16:20 | <Cardoe> | especially not a file that says "this is what I'm running and the exact version that I'm running!" |
| 16:20 | <gbee> | MrGandalf: only coincidental that I'm thinking about this, but I need something similar to create a proper fix for #4704 |
| 16:21 | <xris> | Cardoe: or you could just tweak the defaults (which you're doing already if you're turning auth on) to cover the whole directory. |
| 16:21 | <xris> | mythweb specifically allows certain stuff without auth so that streaming video is more likely to work |
| 16:22 | <eharris_> | Captain_Murdoch: Hmm, unfortunately, your additions for |

| 16:22 | <xris> | Cardoe: mythweb doesn't have *any* auth by default |

| 16:31 | <gbee> | is no-one maintaining libdvdnav anymore? half of his tickets have been addressing problems in that library which really should have gone upstream |
| 16:32 | <eharris_> | sphery: since .21 isn't released yet, most people aren't running it. And since .21 doesn't seem to have backwards compatible protocol, means I'll probably have to hack around it manually. |
| 16:32 | <Cardoe> | gbee: wasn't there a fork? |
| 16:32 | <Chutt> | Anduin, #4361? |
| 16:32 | <gbee> | Dibblah: I strongly suspect that |
| 16:32 | <sphery> | eharris_: Or wait a short bit... |
| 16:32 | <Cardoe> | eharris_: which distro are you on? |
| 16:32 | <eharris_> | Cardoe: I've been on knoppmyth for a long time. |
| 16:32 | <gbee> | Cardoe: dunno, which is why I asked - our version of dvdnav is modified but not massively |
| 16:32 | <Cardoe> | eharris_: grab one of their betas |
| 16:33 | <Anduin> | Chutt: Yeah, still needs one more checkin |
| 16:33 | <Chutt> | Anduin, ok |
| 16:33 | <Chutt> | just going through.. |
| 16:33 | <janneg> | mplayer forked libdvdnav, original upstream is dead |
| 16:33 | <Anduin> | Chutt: Should be closed today |
| 16:34 | <sphery> | I think that the "Qt Style" StyleSetting's use of "" as the default style ( programs/mythfrontend/globalsettings.cpp +2846 , label="Desktop Style" and value="") is broken. |
| 16:34 | <eharris_> | Cardoe: I'd be happy to upgrade my frontends to a beta, but I don't trust a beta for the backends. At least not yet. |
| 16:34 | <sphery> | It results in writing the translated label to the DB since ComboBoxSetting::addSelection() (via SelectSetting::addSelection()) copies label to value if value.isEmpty(), rather than using a check for QString::null, as in SelectManagedListItem::addSelection(), for example. |
| 16:34 | <eharris_> | and since the stuff I need to do is on backend, I'm stuck. |
| 16:34 | <sphery> | eharris_: all or nothing, anyway (can't do only frontends) |
| 16:35 | <eharris_> | sphery: yeah. Too bad. |
| 16:35 | <stuarta> | it's better than 0.20 was |
| 16:35 | <Cardoe> | I'm going to agree with sphery here about the broken-ness |
| 16:35 | <eharris_> | be really nice if more attention was paid to backwards compatibility. |
| 16:35 | <Cardoe> | sphery: like I said, I'll confirm it tonight |
| 16:36 | <gbee> | eharris_: if we had a team of 100 ... |
| 16:36 | <Cardoe> | sphery: using qtconfig.. I don't see "Desktop Style" as a valid choice. |
| 16:36 | <eharris_> | gbee: Oh, I'm not complaining, just wishing. |
| 16:36 | <gbee> | eharris_: I've been running trunk for two years on a production machine, except for one little blip in current trunk caused by a hurried fix it's been more stable than any other version |
| 16:37 | <sphery> | So, if I write a patch to fix the StyleSetting default (i.e. to something like "UseSystemDefaultDesktopStyle" for the value), is it OK to ignore cleaning up the DB (i.e. trying to replace the translated string in the DB)? |
| 16:37 | <sphery> | Just let users change it through the Appearance settings... |
| 16:38 | <eharris_> | gbee: well, maybe I'll grab another disk and attempt an upgrade some night this week. Has the protocol been locked yet for the upcoming .21 release? |
| 16:39 | <Cardoe> | sphery: ~/.qt/qtrc is where style= resides |
| 16:39 | <gbee> | eharris_: yes, unless a fix demands a protocol bump |
| 16:39 | <Cardoe> | sphery: leaving it blank does weird things |
| 16:40 | <Cardoe> | sphery: "Desktop Style" does the same weird things |
| 16:40 | <Cardoe> | CDE, Motif, MotifPlus, Platinum, SGI, Windows are valid |
| 16:40 | <Cardoe> | and it appears if you have kdebase installed, Plastik is valid too |
| 16:41 | <Cardoe> | gbee: didn't xine fork libdvdnav? |
| 16:42 | <Cardoe> | gbee: and mplayer as well.. I think they have their own forks.. |
| 16:43 | <eharris_> | Cardoe: I'm having trouble locating a source for a knoppmyth beta. Do you happen to know where that is? |
| 16:43 | <janneg> | Cardoe: and so did we |
| 16:44 | <Cardoe> | janneg: right but gbee was saying the tickets should be submitted upstream but I'm saying upstream is dead.. it depends who's fork you want to follow.. |
| 16:44 | <sphery> | We have code that checks for "" and does not call qApp->setStyle(style) to allow the user to use the system-defined default (i.e. from ~/.qt/qtrc or wherever), but style will /only/ be "" if there is no value "Style" in the DB--which won't happen with the way we currently set default values for missing "important" stuff and with the broken StyleSetting. |
| 16:46 | <gbee> | Cardoe: I said they should be submitted upstream if it was still maintained, which apparently it isn't |

| 16:59 | <gbee> | Chutt: I've been told by three/four different people that 4350 is fixed but I'm not sure I believe it, I'm not aware of any changes which could explain why it's no longer reproducable |
| 17:00 | <gbee> | I've been meaning to test it myself and maybe I'll get around to that tomorrow |
| 17:00 | <Chutt> | i'd like to release friday night. |
| 17:01 | <gbee> | works for me, I've a light workload at the moment and will give over a couple of afternoons this week to closing my remaining 0.21 tickets |
| 17:02 | <sphery> | I was affected by the 100% CPU thing. I have 3 hours 'til my next recording, so I'll test it out. |
| 17:02 | <gbee> | I'll take a look to see what else I might help with |
| 17:03 | <sphery> | Definitely no problems if you have existing previews (the locale fix fixed that) |
| 17:03 | <Cardoe> | what version of mjpegtools do you guys use with mytharchive? |
| 17:03 | -!- | splat1 is now known as splAt1 |
| 17:04 | <Cardoe> | superm1: ping |
| 17:04 | <gbee> | the patch attached to #4350 fixes the 100% CPU but may break other things - the fix is CDev's and his comments in the code explain the reservations with the approach |

| 17:22 | <Cardoe> | sphery: so it appears it hangs if the frontend encounters a backend with a different protocol.. |
| 17:23 | <Cardoe> | maybe a popup could show on the frontend saying that? |
| 17:23 | -!- | splAt1 is now known as splat1 |
| 17:23 | <sphery> | It should exit the frontend |
| 17:23 | <sphery> | (should means how it was designed to work) |
| 17:24 | <Cardoe> | which isn't too terribly informative... |
| 17:24 | <sphery> | It logs a message, which may not be visible to the user, so a dialog would probably be good, but it shouldn't hang (just looking for verification). |
| 17:24 | <Cardoe> | it appears it did exit |
| 17:24 | <sphery> | OK. |
| 17:25 | <Cardoe> | it just hung for a bit with just a background |
| 17:25 | <Cardoe> | before it did finally exit |
| 17:25 | <sphery> | I'll look into doing a patch that shows a dialog. |
| 17:26 | <sphery> | We actually have dialogs with the backend and mythtv-setup (because of the UPnP autodetection stuff), but since the frontend is not allowed to upgrade the DB, anymore, we just exited there. |
| 17:29 | <sphery> | gbee: Well, it took forever, but my 2 backends were able to completely regenerate the previews for my 436 shows after an rm /path/to/recordings*/*.png and CPU's are back to 99.9% setiathome. |
| 17:30 | <gbee> | weird |
| 17:31 | <sphery> | Yeah. Probably is one of those hidden issues CDev was talking about, but it's no longer triggered for some reason. |

| 17:32 | <Chutt> | sphery, it _was_ happening before to you? |
| 17:32 | <gbee> | I hate closing issues when I cannot explain why they are fixed, but I'm not going to complain too much, one less headache |
| 17:32 | <Chutt> | i'd like to get all the major+ issues closed out |
| 17:33 | <sphery> | Chutt: Yeah. I locked up my system several times, so I had been commenting out the part of MythWeb that gets the thumbnails. I don't need to now. |
| 17:33 | <gbee> | there were some upnp related changesets which I didn't pay much attention too, possible that one of those touched the right area |
| 17:33 | <gbee> | s/too/to/ |
| 17:34 | <gbee> | sphery: can you try just deleting the mythweb cache but not the originals? |
| 17:34 | <xris> | I'm fine considering that one fixed, though like gbee, I'm curious to know *why* it's fixed, so we can prevent it from happening again |
| 17:34 | <xris> | gbee: I tried both ways |
| 17:35 | <xris> | wiped cache, regenerated fine.. wiped cache AND server thumbs, and regenerated fine |
| 17:35 | <sphery> | BTW, I never noticed mythbackend hitting 100% while generating the previews (even though my backends are Athlon XP 2000+ class) and all my recordings are HDTV). |
| 17:35 | <Chutt> | i'm getting lots of 'a script has konqueror to freeze' messages when using mythweb |

| 17:37 | <MrGandalf> | damn, db update 1210 is a killer |
| 17:38 | <Chutt> | yay, the recorded programs screen _does_ work. |
| 17:39 | <sphery> | Whew. Glad it worked for you since you moved up the schedule for your testing after my test results. :) |
| 17:39 | <Chutt> | it's still generating |

| 17:40 | <Chutt> | still has the bug where if you move the mouse while clicking on autoexpire, you lose control of the mouse cursor, though |
| 17:41 | <Chutt> | xris, that's fixed as well |
| 17:41 | <MrGandalf> | janneg: I thought of that.. trouble it, it takes like 24 hours or more to fill it again |
| 17:41 | <MrGandalf> | ah well, got nothing better to do anyway |
| 17:41 | <xris> | mouse cursor? |
| 17:42 | <Chutt> | xris, it becomes unclickable on other things |
| 17:42 | <sphery> | xris: It doesn't regenerate ever time on my system, either (used to, though). |
| 17:42 | <Chutt> | busy cursor sticks around, doesn't go away unless i alt-f4 the window |

| 17:44 | <janneg> | gbee: adding properties to program and recordedprogram |
| 17:45 | <gbee> | ahh |
| 17:46 | <gbee> | ok thanks, I knew it was the one Janne made, I just couldn't remember the details |

| 17:56 | <janneg> | MrGandalf: iirc db update 1211 was cheap compared to 1210 |
| 17:57 | <MrGandalf> | maybe, but it still takes a bit :) still on the first alter of 1211 6 minutes in |
| 18:00 | <Cardoe> | MrGandalf: so is the upgrade failing from 0.20.x to 0.21? |
| 18:00 | <janneg> | wtf? is your program table fragmented. I remember correctly if I say your program table has one million entries? |

| 18:30 | <gbee> | any thoughts/comments on this patch? http://pastebin.ca/927007 |
| 18:35 | <sphery> | gbee: Regarding your preview pixmap scaling code ( programs/mythbackend/mythxml.cpp +795). When you save it, you're using the default filesystem permissions (as defined by the user's umask). We used to do that with the preview generator, but some users couldn't be bothered to set their environment appropriately when running NFS with different uid's on different hosts or with different users running mythbackend/mythfrontend, so ... |
| 18:35 | <sphery> | ... danielk22 added a chmod(filename.ascii(), 0666). Think that's a good idea for scaled previews, too? |
| 18:36 | <gbee> | sure, sounds reasonable |
| 18:36 | <sphery> | OK. Thanks. |
| 18:36 | -!- | joobie [n=joobie@joobie.org] has joined #mythtv |
| 18:38 | <gbee> | they should only be accessed by the backend though, so I don't see it being a problem if we don't set global read perms? |
| 18:39 | <gbee> | I was thinking that we might move that scaling logic in the preview generator at some po |
| 18:39 | <gbee> | int |
| 18:43 | <gbee> | that might sacrifice the speed gain we get from just scaling on the spot because you've got the overhead of loading up the preview gen |
| 18:44 | <sphery> | Though do we always verify that only the backend that recorded the show makes/scales the preview? I was thinking in some configurations a different backend may touch it. If so, then if uid's don't match, the user may have issues (i.e. especially with restrictive umasks, like 0066). |
| 18:44 | <sphery> | Regardless, having all previews with the same filesystem permissions "looks" right. :) |

| 19:17 | <gnome42> | Chutt wins handily by a length!! In the: "I can file those tickets faster than you can submit'em race" :)) |
| 19:17 | <MrGandalf> | a few days back someone said that if yadif or greedyhdeint was used, deinterlacing was always turned since those two can distinguish between the two on it's own. |
| 19:19 | <danielk22> | sphery: the chmod is only needed because ppl don't set up their permissions correctly.. it's really "not right" but it prevents a lot of complaints about the preview generator not working.. |
| 19:20 | <danielk22> | sphery: "don't set up their permissions correctly" ".. or set their group id's or user id's to a consistent state across machines sharing an NFS file system.." |
| 19:22 | <gbee> | I take it there are no problems with the implementation of the patch? I'm not too sure whether GetDisplayAspect returns anything useful for OSX but I guess Nigel will supply a fix if it doesn't |
| 19:22 | <sphery> | danielk22: Right. But, we have a workaround for them on previews created by the preview generator, I thought we should have the same for (XML-requested) previews created by scaling the preview-generator-created previews. |
| 19:23 | <danielk22> | sphere: yeah we should.. but maybe this should be abstracted into a util file "make_file_readable" that can at some point not open this security hole on systems that are configured correctly :) |
| 19:23 | <MrGandalf> | but I'm not seeing that |
| 19:24 | <danielk22> | gbee: I think the call actually works on OSX, but we don't use it for scaling the video.. |
| 19:25 | <sphery> | I should stop recommending symmetry fixes that duplicate problems in existing code as it always ends up creating a lot more work than the one-liner patches I envision. :) |
| 19:25 | <sphery> | Any ideas on how to determine if the system is configured correctly? |
| 19:25 | <danielk22> | hehe |
| 19:25 | <gbee> | danielk22: ok, that's fine then - I was thinking that the method I'm added could be reused in videooutput_xv but I'm adding it mainly so that preview images are scaled correctly for non-square pixel displays |
| 19:27 | <MrGandalf> | sphery: sorta like the QDeepCopy thing in mythevent? :) I had no idea that one would be so... challenging. |
| 19:27 | <sphery> | MrGandalf: Yeah. And that one has caught the attention of several unsuspecting users... |
| 19:28 | <gbee> | never given much thought to the process, but how are slave recordings handled anyway? Does the frontend connect directly to the backend that made the recording or does everything flow through the master backend? Or do recordings have to be in a common shared directory? |
| 19:28 | <MrGandalf> | it's a simple fix though. As Daniel said, add a usleep() ;) |
| 19:28 | <danielk22> | gbee: have you looked at MythGetPixelAspectRatio() in util.h ? |
| 19:28 | <kormoc> | gbee, I think the FE connects directly to the slave BE |
| 19:29 | <gbee> | danielk22: yeah, that's where I started - it was a toss up between using that directly and re-using the instance of DisplayRes which we already created in MythContext |
| 19:30 | <sphery> | gbee: MasterBackendOverride allows the master to stream and delete files if available "locally" even if created by other backends. |
| 19:30 | <gbee> | DisplayRes indirectly gets the aspect ratio from a call MythGetDisplayDimensions() |
| 19:30 | <MrGandalf> | but only for recordings, not LiveTV |
| 19:31 | <sphery> | I have separate storage on my 2 systems with no shares, so in that case each file is always handled by the backend that recorded the show. |
| 19:31 | <danielk22> | gbee: DisplayRes is probably more accurate though, if Xinerama is enabled, it's still aware of the Aspect Ratio right? |
| 19:32 | <danielk22> | hmm, maybe not.. I don't think it's Xinerama aware.. |
| 19:33 | <gbee> | I would guess that DisplayRes returns the 'wrong' aspect ratio in cases where Xinerama is enabled, it's not special cased for xinerama (yet), which is why the patch checks if xinerama is enabled and looks at XineramaDisplayAspect |
| 19:33 | <gbee> | the xinerama check might be better placed in DisplayResX |
| 19:33 | <gbee> | I'll move it |
| 19:33 | <danielk22> | Hmm, it also looks like DisplayRes::Initialize() is only called when Video Mode switching is enabled.. so it's prolly not safe to use otherwise.. |
| 19:36 | <gbee> | danielk22: I moved Initialize out of there - http://pastebin.ca/927007 |
| 19:37 | <gbee> | hmm, should have looked at Initialize() I guess ... |
| 19:41 | <gbee> | yeah, not too sure if it is going to be safe if those resolution settings don't exist |
| 19:43 | <gbee> | maybe I'll just keep it simple and use MythGetPixelAspectRatio() for now, fixes the bug for X users at least and is unlikely to cause new issues in 0.21 |
| 19:44 | <danielk22> | yeah, I think that is the only fix which is 0.21 safe.. |
| 19:44 | <Chutt> | danielk22, those mythevent changes going to be backed out? |
| 19:44 | <danielk22> | yep |
| 19:45 | <danielk22> | they didn't fix the problem and cause additional stability problems for others.. |
| 19:45 | <Chutt> | i want to release on friday, i think |
| 19:45 | <Chutt> | ok |
| 19:45 | <danielk22> | k, i should have some time this week... |

| 20:05 | <gbee> | or anything in between |
| 20:05 | <xris> | heh |
| 20:05 | <xris> | trying to nuvexport some top gear episodes and drop off the top/bottom bars. 4:3 and 16:9 are definitely wrong |
| 20:05 | <gbee> | actual pixel aspect is 5:4 |
| 20:05 | <xris> | I wonder if ffmpeg will even accept 5:4 or something like that |
| 20:06 | <gbee> | 720x576 |
| 20:06 | <xris> | gbee: my source is 528x480 in 4:3 |
| 20:06 | <xris> | I then have to crop 9% or so from top/bottom to get rid of black |
| 20:06 | <xris> | I should just give up on mp4 files and use avi with its nice square pixels |
| 20:07 | <xris> | you tell mp4 to use 1:1 aspect and it gives you a square recording. heh |
| 20:07 | <gbee> | yeah, will have been changed for NTSC (fewer lines) |
| 20:08 | <gbee> | originals are broadcast in 16:9 here, most modern material is fully widescreen |
| 20:09 | <xris> | yeah. bbc america just annoying, then |
| 20:10 | <xris> | dunno why they don't just give it the full 16:9 stretch, then. |
| 20:10 | <gbee> | am I right in believing that widescreen over there means HD? |
| 20:10 | <xris> | oh well. I'll try 14:9 and see if that works. |
| 20:10 | <xris> | in the US? doesn't mean HD, but a lot of people think it does. |
| 20:10 | <xris> | and for TV, most stuff *actually* broadcast in widescreen is HD. |
| 20:11 | <xris> | most dvds are widescreen, and not hd |
| 20:11 | <gbee> | ok, clears that one up then :) |
| 20:14 | <gbee> | we've been receiving widescreen broadcasts via analogue for years and now SD digital too, analogue widescreen TVs are pretty much the norm, at least for main room sets |
| 20:16 | <gbee> | little confusing that people were saying that widescreen over there only appeared with HD because the US tends to be ahead of everyone else in the west when it comes to the introduction of new tech |
| 20:17 | <gbee> | plus I would have sworn I'd seen widescreen TVs in films ;) |
| 20:20 | <Chutt> | gbee, we don't have the equivalent of the 'widescreen' flag you guys have for SD |
| 20:20 | <Chutt> | so everything that's broadcast as widescreen is letterboxed |

| 22:01 | <CDev> | I never had the problem listed, so that was going to be the extent of my testing as well. (I may have tried my dsm-520). |

| 22:51 | <userlame> | hi, i've had a mythtv install for about a week now and i'm running into a problem; my schedule shows up two channels off...it was fine at first, and after a couple mythfilldatabases earlier it went back to normal for a day or so |
| 22:51 | <userlame> | any ideas? |
| 22:56 | <hads> | userlame: Check the topic. |
