| 00:31 | <DigDug_> | Is there a way to set fine tuning in MythTV? |
| 00:31 | <Chutt> | yup |
| 00:31 | <DigDug_> | Where is it? |
| 00:31 | <Chutt> | well, not through the UI yet |
| 00:32 | <Chutt> | there's a finetuning value in the channel table |
| 00:32 | <Chutt> | uses the same scale as xawtv finetuning |
| 00:32 | <DigDug_> | The channel table in the DB? |
| 00:32 | <Chutt> | yup |
| 00:34 | <Chutt> | you ok with that change i requested in your patch? |
| 00:34 | <DigDug_> | Yeah, that fine. |
| 00:35 | <DigDug_> | Makes sense. |
| 00:35 | <DigDug_> | Need a MoveResize anyway. |
| 00:35 | <Chutt> | cool |
| 00:35 | <Chutt> | heh |
| 00:36 | <DigDug_> | ahso! finetune! I suppose to could edit filldatabase to set the finetune for now. |
| 00:36 | <Chutt> | manual mode in filldatabase prompts for finetuning values |
| 00:36 | <DigDug_> | Its odd that I would have to finetune though. |
| 00:37 | <Chutt> | is it just a little bit? |
| 00:37 | <DigDug_> | -240kHz or so |
| 00:37 | <Chutt> | sure you're using the right tuner number when you load the modules? |
| 00:37 | <DigDug_> | well, more like -200 |
| 00:38 | <DigDug_> | I tried 2 and 17. Those are the only Phillips NTSC |
| 00:38 | <Chutt> | strange |
| 00:40 | <DigDug_> | BTW, how can I address the current MythTV window from irxevent? My focus might be on my desktop. Is there a common window name that I can address that will at least send the message to all windows? |
| 00:40 | <Chutt> | 'CurrentWindow' in the .lircrc |
| 00:40 | <DigDug_> | thats the window with focus. |
| 00:40 | <Chutt> | well, just sends to the current focus |
| 00:41 | <Chutt> | can't send it to all windows, though, since it just creates new windows on top of old ones for each screen |
| 00:44 | <TheAsp> | grr |
| 00:45 | <TheAsp> | joy2key is evil. |
| 00:49 | <DigDug_> | Interesting. If you have a bunch of windows with the same name, irxevent sends the message to the "windowname" that is highest. That works! Now, if all the MythTV window names are the same, I am set. |
| 00:49 | <Chutt> | they should all be |
| 00:49 | <Chutt> | aside from maybe the video output |
| 00:51 | <DigDug_> | yeah, output seems to be called MythTV. |
| 00:51 | <DigDug_> | others are "mythfrontend" |
| 00:51 | <Chutt> | ah |
| 00:51 | <DigDug_> | I'll fix that too :0 |
| 00:51 | <Chutt> | sure |
| 00:52 | <DigDug_> | also, I noticed that the Dialog for adding/editing profiles doesn't obey my geometry settings. Or it doesn't get them. |
| 00:52 | <Chutt> | yeah, those are separate still |
| 00:53 | <Chutt> | there was a problem with them using the base dialog class |
| 00:53 | <DigDug_> | It appears in screen 0. |
| 00:53 | <DigDug_> | Oh ok |
| 00:56 | <DigDug_> | Are there any other windows like that that youcan think of? |
| 00:56 | <Chutt> | nope |
| 00:56 | <Chutt> | everything else is using the MythDialog class |
| 00:57 | <Chutt> | well, in mythtv |
| 00:57 | <Chutt> | the other programs aren't yet |
| 00:57 | <Chutt> | but i'm in the process of changing them over to it right now |
| 01:06 | <DigDug_> | Is it ok to call the XvOutput window "mythfrontend"? |
| 01:06 | <Chutt> | well |
| 01:07 | <Chutt> | it'll only get called that if it's run from the frontend, of course |
| 01:07 | <Chutt> | the rest of the windows, that is |
| 01:09 | <DigDug_> | The XvOutput name is hardcoded. |
| 01:10 | <DigDug_> | Oh, you mean its only called "mythfrondend" because it was run from a programmed called "mythfrontend?" |
| 01:10 | <Chutt> | yup |
| 01:10 | <Chutt> | that's how qt creates windows |
| 01:10 | <Chutt> | unless you override it |
| 01:10 | <DigDug_> | mythfrondend is the only program I am going to need to address with a remote, correct? |
| 01:10 | <Chutt> | well, no |
| 01:11 | <Chutt> | unless you don't run any of the other programs |
| 01:11 | <DigDug_> | Oh, mythgame, mythweb, etc.. |
| 01:11 | <Chutt> | right, they'll get different names |
| 01:11 | <DigDug_> | Hmmm |
| 01:12 | -!- | TheAsp [] has quit [Remote closed the connection] |
| 01:14 | <DigDug_> | Too bad I can't change the "mode" of my remote to send different commands. Like universal remote has "VCR" "TV" "DVD" |
| 01:14 | <DigDug_> | etc |
| 01:14 | <DigDug_> | r rather, different sets of commands. |
| 01:15 | <DigDug_> | would it be reasonable to pick a single name for all mythtv windows? |
| 01:15 | <DigDug_> | override the name that Qt gives it? |
| 01:15 | <Chutt> | i dunno |
| 01:15 | <Chutt> | maybe |
| 01:16 | <Chutt> | can't you do myth* in the lircrc, though? |

| 01:24 | <DigDug_> | Would you mind if I changed MyDialog to set the window name to "MythTV" or something like that? |
| 01:25 | <Chutt> | sure, that'd be fine |

| 11:38 | <knight_> | heh |
| 11:39 | <liscio> | knight_: if you want to try and debug the situation you're coming across. You might want to look around the code for any Raise() calls (can't remember the function names) or something similar that might be called to shuffle windows around and make sure they get sent to the foreground... |
| 11:39 | <DigDug_> | Speaking for focus and whatnot, i just figured out a way to control mythtv with a remote when it doesn't have focus. |
| 11:39 | <liscio> | I don't know enough about the implementation (or QT) to be more helpful though. :( |
| 11:39 | <liscio> | DigDug: with messages, right? |
| 11:40 | <DigDug_> | Well, you can send irxevent's to WindowName. If you make all your windows named "MythTV" they get the event no matter where the focus is. |
| 11:40 | <liscio> | DigDug: schweet. |
| 11:41 | <DigDug_> | The example .lircrc uses "CurrentWindow" Just replace that with "MythTV" and run mythfrontend with -name MythTV |
| 11:41 | <liscio> | That's a useful tidbit... |

| 12:23 | <Chutt> | hum. |
| 12:23 | <liscio> | Now I get ya... |
| 12:23 | <Chutt> | newegg needs to get with the times and stop using packaging peanuts |
| 12:24 | <liscio> | yeah. far too many people still use those. :( |
| 12:27 | <DigDug_> | Chutt: it occured to me that I can't move the overscan code out of ::Show. It depends on the image width and height which are passed to Show. |
| 12:28 | <Chutt> | those are passed to Init() as well |
| 12:28 | <Chutt> | and can't change |
| 12:29 | <DigDug_> | Thats odd. If they are known by the object, why pass it to show? |
| 12:29 | <Chutt> | legacy |
| 12:29 | <liscio> | Thankfully my supplier is pretty good about shipping. They use old boxes and spare cardboard in place of peanuts. |
| 12:29 | <DigDug_> | Ok, i'll carry on then :) |
| 12:30 | <Chutt> | heh |
| 12:30 | <Chutt> | it's just old code =) |
| 12:37 | <DigDug_> | clear |
| 12:37 | <DigDug_> | oops |
| 12:38 | <mdz> | Chutt: have you ever had to return anything to newegg? |
| 12:38 | <Chutt> | nope |
| 12:38 | <Chutt> | i bought all my mythtv computer from them |
| 12:39 | <Chutt> | and this is most of the parts for a new computer for my parents |
| 12:39 | <DigDug_> | Chutt: so I found a better way to name the mythfrontend windows... with -name MythTV on the commandline. Now I can just send irxevents to that name. |
| 12:39 | <Chutt> | ah, cool |
| 12:40 | <Chutt> | mdz, i'm sure returning stuff to them wouldn't nearly be as nice as buying from them =) |
| 12:41 | <Chutt> | but, i ordered all this crap on friday |
| 12:41 | <Chutt> | shipping was free except for the case, and i got it all today =) |
| 12:41 | <mdz> | just curious if they were good about returns |
| 12:41 | <mdz> | I bought my video card from them, no complaints |
| 12:41 | <Chutt> | i'm trying to decide if i should test out this cpu before next week |

| 12:50 | <mdz> | that's an understatement |
| 12:51 | <DigDug_> | Hey, is it normal for the CPU fan to slow down when the CPU is under load? That seems odd. ITs very slight, but I can hear it. |
| 12:52 | <Chutt> | to slow down? |
| 12:52 | <DigDug_> | yea |
| 12:52 | <Chutt> | it should speed up, if anything |
| 12:52 | <Chutt> | unless your powersupply's not providing enough juice? =) |
| 12:52 | <DigDug_> | Thats what worries me :) |
| 12:52 | <knight_> | Chutt, what's involved in integrating other realtime codecs? |
| 12:53 | <Chutt> | the cpu fan on the mythtv.org box is annoying |
| 12:53 | <Chutt> | i can always tell when someone's doing a cvs checkout, for instance |
| 12:53 | <knight_> | Chutt, I'm very serious about wanting mpeg1/mpeg2 to improve the quality of real time captures |
| 12:53 | <Chutt> | knight, not much |
| 12:53 | <Chutt> | err, why? |
| 12:53 | <DigDug_> | Its handy though, it (the fan speed change) lets me know when a background compile is done :) |
| 12:53 | <Chutt> | just bump the quality high |
| 12:53 | <knight_> | Higher performance, better quality. I can always schedule encoding jobs to compress it down with mpeg4, etc |
| 12:53 | <Chutt> | or even just use huffyuv |
| 12:54 | <knight_> | My PIII 1ghz doesnt like anything higher than 480x480 |
| 12:54 | <knight_> | and it's not archival quality imho |
| 12:54 | <Chutt> | i had trouble finding a realtime mpeg2 encoder |
| 12:54 | <knight_> | I'd be fine with mpeg1 |
| 12:55 | <Chutt> | if rtjpeg doesn't work at 640x480 for you, then i don't think any of the mpeg1 encoders will |
| 12:55 | <knight_> | I actually havent tried rtjpeg yet. |
| 12:55 | <Chutt> | rtjpeg at a quality of 255 is pretty damn good quality |
| 12:55 | <Chutt> | huge files, though |
| 12:55 | <Chutt> | but it's really light weight |
| 12:55 | <Chutt> | in terms of cpu usage |
| 12:56 | <knight_> | what codec is it technically? rtjpeg? |
| 12:56 | <knight_> | MJPEG? |
| 12:56 | <Chutt> | yeah, it's a modified mjpeg codec |
| 12:56 | <knight_> | does it follow mjpeg spec? |
| 12:56 | <Chutt> | nope |
| 12:56 | <liscio> | I wonder if mp2 is any crisper than mp4, really... |
| 12:56 | <knight_> | so i'd need custom encoding tools that specifically support rtjpeg to convert them |
| 12:56 | <Chutt> | you could also use libavcodec's mjpeg codec, too |
| 12:57 | <knight_> | ahh yeah, mjpeg is fine with me |
| 12:57 | <knight_> | one of my cards actually does hardware mjpeg |
| 12:57 | <Chutt> | just bump the bitrate out high, and it works rather well |
| 12:57 | <knight_> | speaking of which. is there a performance increase in the live encoding from hardware MJPEG -> mpeg4? |
| 12:57 | <knight_> | versus standard capture -> mpeg4 |
| 12:57 | <Chutt> | ah, wouldn't you have to decode the hardware encoded mjpeg first? |
| 12:58 | <liscio> | :) |
| 12:58 | <knight_> | Chutt, how can I specify the mjpeg codec? |
| 12:58 | -!- | Universe [~Yeah@pwc2-hs-nk.bbnplanet.com] has joined #mythtv |
| 12:58 | <Chutt> | in the settings file |
| 12:58 | <Chutt> | you can't with cvs right now |
| 12:58 | <knight_> | thats what i thought |
| 12:58 | <knight_> | I understood it was just mpeg4 and rtjpeg |
| 12:58 | <Chutt> | it just needs the UI updated for it |
| 12:58 | <Chutt> | nope |
| 12:58 | <Chutt> | anything in libavcodec should work |
| 12:58 | <knight_> | oh ok great |
| 12:59 | <knight_> | well, on windows, i use to capture hardware mjpeg with my DC10+ using pinnacle's software, then re-encode it over to avi |
| 12:59 | <liscio> | yeah...and mpeg does weird things, just so you know before playing with it. |
| 13:00 | <knight_> | mjpeg -> avi seemed a lot faster than a standard capture |
| 13:00 | <Chutt> | the mpeg1 encoder? |
| 13:00 | <Chutt> | yeah |
| 13:00 | <liscio> | yeah |
| 13:00 | <liscio> | it's ugly. :) |
| 13:00 | <Chutt> | heh |
| 13:00 | <knight_> | yeah no i'm happy with mjpeg |
| 13:00 | <liscio> | lots of bad blocks on-screen. Really funny. |
| 13:00 | <Chutt> | there's probably something i have to change to set it up right |
| 13:00 | <liscio> | mjpeg's great, but I think the space usage of mpeg4 is just fantastic. :) |
| 13:01 | <liscio> | The raw audio's the only space issue I'm having right now. :) |
| 13:01 | <knight_> | oh btw, the last two cvs versions i've played with (with the frontend backend split), i'm getting segment faults for mythfrontend |
| 13:01 | <knight_> | when i choose watch tv |
| 13:01 | <Chutt> | try with current cvs |
| 13:01 | <Chutt> | should be working |
| 13:01 | <knight_> | indeed i have |
| 13:01 | <knight_> | about an hour ago |

| 13:01 | <knight_> | yeah |
| 13:01 | <Universe> | it works for me knight_.. |
| 13:01 | <Chutt> | ah well, works for me |
| 13:01 | <knight_> | odd |
| 13:01 | <Chutt> | i'd need a backtrace to go any further |
| 13:02 | <Universe> | Chutt... I had some bad ram in that computer... |
| 13:02 | <Chutt> | heh |
| 13:02 | <Chutt> | well, least it wasn't the harddrive |

| 13:02 | <Universe> | aye... I would have cried |
| 13:02 | <Chutt> | just recompiling for debugging and run it in gdb |
| 13:03 | <knight_> | liscio, indeed mjpeg is great, and mpeg4 is wonderful. but mpeg4 in realtime on my machine is unrealistic =[ |
| 13:03 | <liscio> | yeah. that's an unfortunate thing. :P |
| 13:03 | <knight_> | liscio, atleast for the quality i'd be happy with |
| 13:03 | <liscio> | yeah. understood. 480/480 is my low-end... |
| 13:03 | <knight_> | yeah |
| 13:03 | <Chutt> | heh, ya really just need about 500 more Mhz =) |
| 13:04 | <liscio> | ...or so :) |
| 13:05 | <liscio> | Chutt: I think I'll be able to build an ir receiver right into the case for my mythbox. Unfortunately not too many mobos are putting com2 headers on-board anymore so there'll have to be some dongle action going on in the back of the case. |

| 13:16 | <liscio> | so is the general consensus that irda is garbage for ir remote use? |
| 13:16 | <knight> | yep |
| 13:18 | <liscio> | damn. that would have been a super-simple way to integrate remote functionality. |
| 13:19 | <knight> | i think lircd is pretty simple still |
| 13:19 | <knight> | and i think it might be nice to integrate it with the lircd socket |
| 13:19 | <knight> | instead of using irxevent |
| 13:20 | <liscio> | I mean hardware-wise, in my box... |
| 13:20 | <liscio> | :) |
| 13:20 | <knight> | oh |
| 13:20 | <knight> | :) |
| 13:20 | <liscio> | I wonder why it's bad...Like, is it just the standard receiver that ships with most mainboards/receivers? |
| 13:21 | <knight> | well, i could be wrong, but from what i understood, those onboard ir receivers use the IrDA protocol and there's no way to get raw ir input |
| 13:28 | <liscio> | anyone here build a homebrew receiver with little stress? :) |
| 13:29 | <knight> | i have an irman |
| 13:29 | <knight> | think i bought it for like $35 a year ago |
| 13:29 | <knight> | it works great |
| 13:30 | <liscio> | me too. i am looking for something I can do cheaply and integrate into mythboxes in the future... |
| 13:30 | <knight> | ahh |
| 13:30 | <Universe> | you can make your own |
| 13:30 | <knight> | yeah i'm sure it wouldnt be hard |
| 13:30 | <knight> | probably a couple resistors and an ir led |
| 13:30 | <Universe> | there are instructions on lirc.org |
| 13:31 | <liscio> | apparently the ir part is the toughest to come by though... |

| 13:31 | <liscio> | shipping's the only bitch, I guess. |
| 13:31 | <knight> | not really |

| 15:37 | <Hohlraum> | i dunno.. i was reading on avsforum (think i might have even seen that mentioned on the mythtv site once) that some company had just opensourced their specs on a HDTV card that accepted multiple input formats |

| 15:43 | <reallybored> | i'm sure it will be pretty hard and prolly beyond me |

| 15:44 | <Chutt2> | digdug, i'll get that patch applied when i get back home tomorrow |
| 15:45 | <bigguy> | Chutt2: oh forgot to ask you yesterday. You know where bma and snow-man are hanging out at now on irc? |
| 15:45 | <Universe> | Chutt2? |
| 15:47 | <reallybored> | well it looks like from that thread it's possible to control the cable box I have through the serial connection now the journey starts as to getting my hands on the API :) |
| 15:48 | -!- | paperclip [] has quit [Remote closed the connection] |
| 15:49 | -!- | The_TiK [] has quit [Read error: 104 (Connection reset by peer)] |
| 15:52 | <reallybored> | mmm looking at the cables specs it just seems to be a normal rs232 connection without the handshake pins connected |
| 15:52 | <liscio> | hmm...I think maybe some work should go into mythgame to get transgaming stuff going. GTA3 on my mythtv box would be schweet. :) |
| 15:53 | <Universe> | lol |
| 15:53 | <Chutt2> | that's what a ps2 is for |
| 15:53 | <liscio> | Chutt2: trying to help with the cost justification s'more. :) |
| 15:53 | <Chutt2> | bigguy, 'sec |
| 15:55 | <reallybored> | http://www.broadq.com/qcasttuner/ thats not all the PS2 can do for ya ? |
| 15:55 | <reallybored> | use it as your play back box :) |
| 15:55 | <liscio> | but...but...I'm trying to justify the cost of *my* box. :) |
| 15:58 | -!- | paperclip [~joe@ip68-11-30-173.no.no.cox.net] has joined #mythtv |
| 16:04 | <liscio> | hmm...and running games at 640x480 on a GF2MX isn't so bad either... :) |
| 16:06 | <bigguy> | hmm |
| 16:06 | <liscio> | Thankfully I own a copy of max payne to check it out with... :) |
| 16:08 | <bigguy> | I might just buy me a sheet of tinted mirrored plexi and make my own front panel |
| 16:08 | <bigguy> | won't be as nice as having someone else do it in anodized aluminum but won't cost me as much |
| 16:09 | <liscio> | bigguy: that's a good idea. I'd be curious to see how that turns out... |
| 16:09 | <bigguy> | only cut outs I need really are for the slim dvd, power, reset, vfd, and fan |
| 16:11 | <bigguy> | liscio: well I originally was gonna use the front panel designer program and have front panel express make it for me but its easier for me to lay it out on paper/cardboard than try and use their program |
| 16:12 | <liscio> | front panel designer?? :) |
| 16:12 | <bigguy> | sec |
| 16:12 | <bigguy> | http://www.frontpanelexpress.com/ |
| 16:13 | <bigguy> | its a windows cad like program |
| 16:13 | <bigguy> | you pick what you want and the order program will give you a price quote |
| 16:14 | <liscio> | oh. i see. how do they know what case you're working with? |
| 16:14 | <bigguy> | they don't |
| 16:14 | <bigguy> | you have to enter your own demensions |
| 16:14 | <liscio> | so it's all up to you...that's kinda dangerous. :) |
| 16:14 | <bigguy> | like mine is 6x16.5 |

| 16:14 | <bigguy> | liscio: I've seen their work tho on some forums |
| 16:15 | <bigguy> | obviously some people can work with it |
| 16:15 | <liscio> | yeah. neat that such a service exists. |
| 16:15 | <bigguy> | I just don't have measureing tools that I trust enough to lay it out in the program |
| 16:16 | <liscio> | yeah. understandable. |
| 16:16 | <bigguy> | I have a router and a Black and Decker RTX so it shouldn't be that hard to do what I want |
| 16:17 | <liscio> | yeah. I live in a condo, so my general purpose dremel has to do for stuff like that. :) |
| 16:18 | <bigguy> | heh you can use other tools in a condo just be sure and set the area up with masking tape/news paper before hand |
| 16:18 | <liscio> | :) |
| 16:18 | <liscio> | ay, there's the rub... :) |
| 16:18 | <bigguy> | painting in a bathroom with exhaust fan is fun |
| 16:18 | <liscio> | :) |
| 16:19 | <liscio> | hmm...I've never used wine before. I am worried that it might be a pain to run/install games... |
| 16:19 | <bigguy> | hmm I haven't used it in a while but it wasn't that hard from what I remember |
| 16:20 | <bigguy> | I used the winex stuff way back also |
| 16:20 | <Universe> | liscio.. its fun getting the game to run sometimes |
| 16:20 | <liscio> | so stuff just runs from the command-line? |
| 16:20 | <Universe> | aye... |
| 16:21 | <Universe> | but you have to have X running also |
| 16:21 | <bigguy> | hmm |
| 16:21 | <liscio> | yeah... |
| 16:21 | <bigguy> | wonder if this printer works great in linux http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?sku=l40-1150%20p&SRCCODE=WEM395C |
| 16:21 | <bigguy> | not a bad price |
| 16:21 | <bigguy> | and looks nice |
| 16:22 | <Universe> | Lexmarks dont do well in linux |
| 16:22 | <bigguy> | hmm |
| 16:22 | <Universe> | I can't get my cheapo Z11 to work |
| 16:22 | <Universe> | even tho there are drivers for it |
| 16:22 | <bigguy> | hmm |
| 16:23 | <bigguy> | I had a couple of lexmarks setup for friends and they worked |
| 16:23 | <bigguy> | z22 and z25 I think were the models |
| 16:25 | <bigguy> | hmm seems it does work with linux |
| 16:25 | <bigguy> | not bad then |
| 16:25 | <bigguy> | sleek and sexy |
| 16:25 | <bigguy> | ;) |
| 16:27 | <bigguy> | another plus. They take paypal |

| 16:28 | <Universe> | hehe |
| 16:35 | <Hohlraum> | paypal is fine if you don't mind never getting your $$ back if you get screwed by the vendor.. paypal has horrible dispute resolution .. your CC company will most always take the side of the consumer |
| 16:37 | <Universe> | very true.. |
| 16:37 | <Universe> | consumer right until proven otherwise |
| 16:38 | <liscio> | so to install an app, you just run 'setup' for that particular app?? |
| 16:38 | <liscio> | (in wine) |
| 16:39 | <Universe> | wine setup.exe |
| 16:39 | <Universe> | or whatever |
| 16:39 | * liscio | gets giddy |
| 16:39 | <Universe> | make sure you configured your wine virtual drive, etc.. |
| 16:40 | <Chutt2> | why do people send crap to the mailing list that just isn't true? |
| 16:40 | <Chutt2> | they're _trying_ to help, but they're just making things worse |

| 16:41 | <Universe> | because they want you to make your program idiot proof. |
| 16:41 | <bigguy> | Chutt2: Henk? |
| 16:41 | <Chutt2> | no, the guy that just said that someone errors with his tuner card are from alsa |
| 16:41 | <mdz> | liscio: don't get giddy so fast | <
