| 19:40 | <paperclip> | so.. can i easily export stuff to (s)vcd ? |
| 19:40 | <mdz_> | paperclip: ask Antw |
| 19:40 | <Namapoos> | in the works |
| 19:40 | <paperclip> | oh.. |
| 19:41 | <paperclip> | anyone put this on a mini-ITX system? |
| 19:42 | <paperclip> | or have a web browser working? |
| 19:45 | <Namapoos> | not yet |
| 19:45 | <Namapoos> | outside of me |
| 19:45 | <paperclip> | Namapoos: you have one? |
| 19:45 | <Namapoos> | but i don't have a true minitx |
| 19:45 | <Namapoos> | and no capture device on that machine |
| 19:45 | <Namapoos> | my gctp |
| 19:45 | <paperclip> | oh.. |
| 19:45 | <paperclip> | =) |
| 19:46 | <paperclip> | miniitx has tv out.. |
| 19:46 | <paperclip> | there might even be xv support.. |
| 19:46 | <Namapoos> | my gctp has vga out... |
| 19:46 | <Namapoos> | heheh |
| 19:46 | <paperclip> | wooh |
| 19:46 | <paperclip> | touch screen tv would be nice.. |
| 19:46 | <Namapoos> | not really |
| 19:46 | <paperclip> | hah |
| 19:47 | <Namapoos> | it would be like having one of those old school tv's |
| 19:47 | <paperclip> | you could zoom in =) |
| 19:47 | <Namapoos> | where you have to get up to change the channel |
| 19:47 | <paperclip> | push on something.. zoom |
| 19:47 | <Namapoos> | heheheh |
| 19:47 | <Namapoos> | you could do the same with a remote |
| 19:47 | <paperclip> | yeah.. well.. it's got better uses.. |
| 19:47 | <Namapoos> | with one of the mouse things in ut |
| 19:47 | <Namapoos> | heheheh |
| 19:48 | <paperclip> | the apex/daewoo dvd players have a nice zoom |
| 19:48 | <Namapoos> | never tried |
| 19:50 | <paperclip> | well.. apparently the next gen mini-itx will have the nforce chipset.. |
| 19:50 | <paperclip> | dunno if that's good or bad.. nvidia and all.. |
| 19:51 | <paperclip> | anyway.. the case i have for mine is big enough for a laptop dvd/cdrw and a 3.5" drive.. |
| 19:51 | <paperclip> | it'd be a sweet set top box.. |
| 19:53 | <Namapoos> | nice |
| 19:53 | <Namapoos> | i think my case will have to be custom |
| 19:53 | <Namapoos> | and i heard of those nforce2 minitix's |
| 19:53 | <Namapoos> | i am just concerned about the video card options |
| 19:53 | <paperclip> | look at mini-itx.org |
| 19:54 | <paperclip> | what do you mean videocard options? |
| 19:54 | <Namapoos> | wow |
| 19:54 | <Namapoos> | that new case is sweet |
| 19:54 | <Namapoos> | ie i want a 9700 |
| 19:54 | <paperclip> | there are some sick projects there.. |
| 19:54 | <Namapoos> | in my next machine |
| 19:54 | <Namapoos> | yeah, i was checking it out earlier this week, thinking of modding my gctp |
| 19:54 | <paperclip> | i want an all in wonder.. |
| 19:55 | <Namapoos> | to make it look like one of those imac lamps |

| 20:30 | <mdz_> | Chutt: wow, somebody on the mailing list upgraded from MythTV 6 to MythTV 7 |
| 20:30 | <mdz_> | Chutt: have you been hiding these new releases from the rest of us? |
| 20:30 | <paperclip> | i just saw that mythtv 7 was on the website.. |
| 20:30 | <paperclip> | first time i looked even.. |
| 20:33 | <mdz_> | paperclip: no, you didn't... |
| 20:33 | <mdz_> | there is no mythtv 7 |
| 20:34 | <paperclip> | 0.7 |
| 20:34 | <paperclip> | http://www.mythtv.org/#download |
| 20:35 | <Universe> | yeah... its 0.7 |
| 20:35 | <Universe> | its was released like last weekend or the weekend before that |
| 20:35 | <paperclip> | nov 9th |
| 20:36 | <mdz_> | 0.7 != 7 |
| 20:36 | <Universe> | so it was a joke |
| 20:36 | <Universe> | hahaha... |
| 20:36 | <paperclip> | minor technicality.. |
| 20:37 | <Universe> | he was joking... as in someone on the mailing list got version 7 when versoin 1 hasn't even been released |
| 20:37 | <paperclip> | i get it.. |
| 20:37 | <Universe> | ok... just wanted to make sure :-P |
| 20:37 | <paperclip> | er.. i should say.. i understand that it was supposed to be funny.. =) |
| 20:38 | <Universe> | heh... |
| 20:38 | <paperclip> | anyway.. i just discovered this project today.. looks pretty nice.. |
| 20:38 | <paperclip> | i'd been looking at freevo.. but this looks even more featureful |
| 20:39 | <paperclip> | and maybe even more extensible.. |
| 20:39 | <Universe> | freevo, as far as I know, doesn't even have a 'live tv' feature yet |
| 20:39 | <paperclip> | i don't think so.. |
| 20:39 | <Soopaman> | nope |
| 20:40 | <Soopaman> | and the biggest thing that freevo doesn't have, is chutt's magnetic personality ;) |
| 20:40 | <paperclip> | which is why i'm myth looks so cool.. |

| 21:18 | <mdz_> | Chutt: please don't tell me that mythmusic requires libvorbis from unstable |
| 21:18 | * paperclip | is back (gone 00:38:08) |
| 21:21 | <mdz_> | Chutt: aarrgghh |
| 21:27 | <Chutt> | isn't 1.0 in testing? |
| 21:28 | <mdz_> | yeah, it's in testing, but not woody |
| 21:29 | <mdz_> | 1.0rc3 is in woody, though...I'm surprised the API changed between rc3 and 1.0 final |
| 21:29 | <mdz_> | I guess I'm only going to support mythmusic post-woody, then |
| 21:29 | <mdz_> | I'm not going to backport flac, ogg and vorbis |
| 21:29 | <Chutt> | heh |
| 21:29 | <Chutt> | yeah |
| 21:29 | <mdz_> | woody users will have mythtv at least |
| 21:30 | <mdz_> | that only required building xmltv for woody, which isn't in unstable yet anyway |
| 21:30 | <Chutt> | and they can always upgrade |
| 21:30 | <mdz_> | there are enough non-mythtv-related questions on the mailing list already...we don't need "help me fix my broken unstable system" |
| 21:31 | <Chutt> | heh |
| 21:31 | <Chutt> | i got bit by an unstable bug today =) |
| 21:32 | <Chutt> | libstdc++ name typo, or whatnot |
| 21:32 | <mdz_> | yep, bit me too |
| 21:32 | <Universe> | lol.. |
| 21:34 | <mdz_> | I have a mythmusic package which builds on unstable, but my STB runs testing and other stuff woody |
| 21:34 | <mdz_> | so I can't use it yet |
| 21:38 | <mdz_> | yay, it works on testing |
| 21:39 | <mdz_> | and works with the woody mythtv package |
| 21:43 | <mdz_> | deb http://dijkstra.csh.rit.edu:8088/~mdz/debian sarge mythtv |
| 21:44 | <mdz_> | has mythmusic now |
| 21:51 | <mdz_> | Chutt: do you think it makes more sense to ask the user where the music is, or set things up to point to a directory owned by mythmusic, and have the user symlink in their music? |
| 21:52 | <mdz_> | I see problems with both approaches |
| 21:52 | <Chutt> | hrm |
| 21:52 | <Chutt> | dunno |
| 21:52 | <mdz_> | I guess I'll just ask |
| 21:53 | <Chutt> | that'd be the easiest way |
| 21:53 | <Chutt> | also ask which cd device to use, etc |
| 21:53 | <mdz_> | people will have to work out any permissions issues on their own, though |
| 21:53 | <Chutt> | right |
| 21:53 | <mdz_> | asking for the CD device seems unnecessary; /dev/cdrom is a more than reasonable default |
| 21:55 | <mdz_> | is TemporarySpace where CD audio data is spooled while it's encoded? |
| 21:55 | <mdz_> | if so, /tmp may not be such a good choice |
| 21:55 | <mdz_> | I don't know about most folks, but I run tmpfs just about everywhere now |
| 21:58 | <-- Universe | has quit () |
| 22:06 | <Chutt> | yeah |
| 22:06 | <Chutt> | want to default that to /var/tmp/ or something? |
| 22:06 | <mdz_> | /var/tmp sounds good |
| 22:07 | <mdz_> | I'm not going to patch it, though. you can change the default in a future release if you want |
| 22:07 | <Chutt> | sorry if i'm being sporadic, i'm watching the docs on the new LoTR dvd |
| 22:07 | <mdz_> | no problem |
| 22:08 | <mdz_> | it's not holding me up or anything; i'm just bringing up things that I run into as I go |
| 22:10 | <vektor> | Chutt: i heard the new LoTR DVD kicks total fucking ass |
| 22:10 | <vektor> | Chutt: are these rumors true? |
| 22:10 | <mdz_> | mythmusic 0.7-2 up at the same place, now with debconf asking for the music directory |
| 22:11 | <mdz_> | on to mythweb |
| 22:11 | <Chutt> | vektor, haven't watched the movie at all yet =) |
| 22:12 | <Chutt> | vektor, just going through the first extras disc |
| 22:12 | <vektor> | lucky |
| 22:12 | <vektor> | i'm going to buy it soon |
| 22:12 | <Chutt> | $30 at amazon, including shipping |
| 22:12 | <Chutt> | well, usd |
| 22:12 | <vektor> | blah i have better sources |
| 22:12 | <Chutt> | mdz, i'll put a note on the website if you want =) |
| 22:13 | <mdz_> | I need to update my README.html first |
| 22:13 | <Chutt> | ok, just say when |
| 22:18 | <mdz_> | do mythmusic and mythweb read the mythtv settings.txt to find the database? |
| 22:19 | <mdz_> | I assume they must |
| 22:19 | <mdz_> | I guess that means that nobody runs them on a separate machine from mythtv itself |
| 22:19 | <mdz_> | so they're both going to depend on mythtv for now, because they need the database setup and such |
| 22:19 | <mdz_> | maybe one day they can be split up |
| 22:21 | <paperclip> | mdz_: look for that in v7.0 |

| 22:33 | <mdz_> | paperclip: as much as you can afford to give it |
| 22:33 | <mdz_> | paperclip: the more RAM you have for disk buffers, the happier you will be with mythtv |
| 22:33 | <mdz_> | I have 512M in mine |
| 22:33 | <Soopaman> | or atleast the hex i need to push so that my machine suspends properly |
| 22:33 | <paperclip> | i'll be giving it a go.. |
| 22:34 | <paperclip> | what's a good pci capture card? |

| 22:37 | <mdz_> | ah, mythweb has its own config file. hmm. |
| 22:38 | <mdz_> | I guess I can swipe the values from the mythtv config and autogenerate it |
| 22:38 | <Soopaman> | mdz, yeah, i can get it to suspend properly |
| 22:39 | <Soopaman> | but sending 3 (or is it 4) deep freexzes the machine, but it won't wake up |
| 22:39 | <Soopaman> | my biggest concern is changing the led |

| 22:40 | <whatsit> | could someone tell me the source line for the deb packages? |

| 22:41 | <mdz_> | Soopaman: (most of the modes don't work and just hang) |
| 22:41 | <mdz_> | but I have it to the point where I can hit the power button and it shuts down cleanly and turns itself off |

| 23:26 | <mdz_> | Chutt: it brings up the channel guide OK, but the search blows up |
| 23:26 | <mdz_> | so obviously it can talk to the database |
| 23:26 | <mdz_> | but something else is wrong |
| 23:26 | <mdz_> | whatsit: apt-get update and try again |
| 23:26 | <whatsit> | mdz_: ok |
| 23:27 | <Chutt> | search might not work |
| 23:27 | <Chutt> | hrm |
| 23:27 | <mdz_> | Chutt: I pasted the error I got a little bit ago |
| 23:27 | <mdz_> | Chutt: I'm not much for PHP, but it looks like the query is not returning a result set |
| 23:28 | <mdz_> | it does a query, and calls mysql_num_rows on the result it gets back |
| 23:29 | <whatsit> | mdz_: okay... that seemed to solve the user problem, but now when I run su --shell=/bin/bash - mythtv mythtv-setup |
| 23:29 | <brtb> | hdparm -c1 -d1 -u1 -m8 -Xudma4 /dev/hda |
| 23:29 | <whatsit> | I get the error "cannot open db" |
| 23:30 | <brtb> | but be careful |
| 23:30 | <mdz_> | whatsit: did you get any errors during installation this time? |
| 23:30 | <mdz_> | it doesn't correctly abort installation on all errors yet |
| 23:30 | <whatsit> | mdz_: nope |
| 23:31 | <mdz_> | whatsit: did you use the default username and password? |
| 23:31 | <whatsit> | brtb: thanks |
| 23:31 | <mdz_> | whatsit: does your mysql server work? |
| 23:31 | <whatsit> | mdz_: yeah, the server works |
| 23:32 | <mdz_> | whatsit: try mysql -u<user> -p<password> -h <hostname> <dbname> and see if that works |
| 23:33 | <whatsit> | unknown database 'mythtv' |
| 23:33 | <whatsit> | i'll try mysql |
| 23:33 | <whatsit> | using database mysql works |
| 23:33 | <mdz_> | are you _sure_ there were no errors? |
| 23:34 | <mdz_> | nothing like this: |
| 23:34 | <mdz_> | DBD::mysql::db do failed: Access denied for user |
| 23:34 | <whatsit> | nope... nothing like that |
| 23:34 | <mdz_> | are you sure you specified the mysql root password correctly? |
| 23:34 | <mdz_> | did you call the database 'mythtv'? the default is 'mythconverg' |
| 23:34 | <mdz_> | try that |
| 23:34 | <whatsit> | I got some strange "Time stamp is in the future" warning, but that's it |
| 23:34 | <mdz_> | your clock is probably wrong |
| 23:35 | <whatsit> | okay mythconverg worked |
| 23:35 | <mdz_> | so what's in /etc/mythtv/mysql.txt? |
| 23:35 | <mdz_> | mythtv, or mythconverg? |
| 23:35 | <whatsit> | mythconverg worked |
| 23:36 | <mdz_> | but what is in /etc/mythtv/mysql.txt? |
| 23:36 | <whatsit> | mythconverg is the database name |
| 23:36 | <whatsit> | localhost is the host |
| 23:37 | <mdz_> | BUT WHAT IS IN /ETC/MYTHTV/MYSQL.TXT? |
| 23:37 | <mdz_> | so you have this line: str DBName=mythconverg |
| 23:37 | <whatsit> | yes |
| 23:37 | <whatsit> | DBPassword= |
| 23:37 | <whatsit> | DBUserName=mythtv |
| 23:37 | <mdz_> | the password is empty? |
| 23:38 | <whatsit> | yep |
| 23:38 | <mdz_> | did you use an empty password when you connected with mysql -u... -p... ? |
| 23:38 | <whatsit> | I used -uroot -ptherootmysqlpass |
| 23:38 | <mdz_> | I've never tried it with a blank password |
| 23:38 | <mdz_> | arrrggghhhhh |
| 23:38 | <whatsit> | sorry dude... I don't mean to frustrate you |
| 23:38 | <mdz_> | do mysql -umythtv -h localhost mythconverg |
| 23:39 | <mdz_> | I meant to use the same username and password that you set up for mythtv |
| 23:39 | <whatsit> | ic |
| 23:39 | <mdz_> | so does that work? |
| 23:39 | <whatsit> | nope |
| 23:39 | <whatsit> | access denied |
| 23:40 | <mdz_> | I've never tried it with a blank password |
| 23:40 | <whatsit> | when was mythtv's database password suppose to be set? |
| 23:40 | <mdz_> | so let's try it with a password |
| 23:40 | <mdz_> | it asks at install time...at least, it does if your priority allows it |
| 23:40 | <mdz_> | did it ask you a question "What password should MythTV use to access its database?" |
| 23:40 | <whatsit> | the setup script only asked for the administrator account info |
| 23:40 | <mdz_> | ok |
| 23:40 | <whatsit> | no it didn't |
| 23:41 | <mdz_> | ok, do this: |
| 23:41 | <mdz_> | dpkg-reconfigure -plow mythtv |
| 23:41 | <mdz_> | it will ask you all of the questions |
| 23:41 | <mdz_> | enter a password for the mythtv user when it asks for one |
| 23:41 | <whatsit> | ok |
| 23:42 | <mdz_> | if it doesn't work with a blank password for some reason, I may have to generate one |
| 23:43 | <whatsit> | I didn't use a blank password now that it asked me for one. |
| 23:43 | <mdz_> | ok |
| 23:43 | <whatsit> | mythtv-setup seems to be working now |
| 23:43 | <mdz_> | great |
| 23:43 | <mdz_> | so the problem is that it doesn't like a blank password for whatever reason |
| 23:43 | <mdz_> | that should be easy enough to fix |
| 23:43 | <mdz_> | thanks |
| 23:44 | <whatsit> | no, thank you |
| 23:44 | <whatsit> | thanks for your patients |
| 23:44 | <whatsit> | patience... |
| 23:44 | <whatsit> | or something like that :) |
| 23:45 | <mdz_> | I will fix that in my next version |
| 23:48 | <whatsit> | mdz_: again, thanks for all your help... if there is anything I can do for you I'd be happy to |
| 23:50 | <whatsit> | bye. |
