| 00:00 | <_shad> | stupid ferrert |
| 00:00 | <_shad> | thx |
| 00:00 | <PeteCool> | dammit mythfrontend doesn't want to see mythbackend is started |
| 00:01 | <PeteCool> | the script starts, mythbackend is there (ps ax), and then mythfrontend says it can't connect |
| 00:02 | <PeteCool> | 10 seconds before I did it manually and it worked |

| 00:02 | <mdz> | Justin_: are you going to be using the packages? |
| 00:03 | <mdz> | they need more testing |
| 00:03 | <PeteCool> | can it be related to the VIDIO error? |

| 00:08 | <PeteCool> | this doesn't make any sense |
| 00:08 | <PeteCool> | or maybe it does |
| 00:08 | <_inman> | ? |
| 00:09 | <PeteCool> | I changed the mythbox's hostname |
| 00:09 | <PeteCool> | can this f**k up myth like that? |
| 00:09 | <_inman> | yep. |
| 00:09 | <_inman> | there are a couple tables that use it. |
| 00:10 | <_inman> | update settings set hostname = 'newhostname' where hostname = 'oldhostname'; |
| 00:10 | <_inman> | ditto for capturecard, IIRC. check on that and the cardinput table. |
| 00:12 | <mdz> | that guy said that mythfrontend hung with no error message, and then proceeded to paste the error message |
| 00:12 | <PeteCool> | the thing is it works fine from an xterm, but not from a shell script (which runs the same commands) |
| 00:12 | * _inman | smirks. |
| 00:12 | <PeteCool> | I did that? |
| 00:12 | <PeteCool> | hrm |
| 00:13 | <mdz> | dunno, was that you? |
| 00:13 | <PeteCool> | I hope not |
| 00:19 | <PeteCool> | niiiiice, alsa just doesn't want to do anything anymore |
| 00:20 | <PeteCool> | just what I needed |
| 00:31 | <mdz> | oops, broke mythbackend |
| 00:31 | <PeteCool> | what broke? cvs? |
| 00:32 | <PeteCool> | or your local copy? |
| 00:32 | <mdz> | both |
| 00:32 | <Captain_Murdoch> | mdz, did that break stdout messages? |
| 00:32 | <mdz> | and shad's |
| 00:32 | <PeteCool> | that's why it isn't working now for me? |
| 00:32 | <PeteCool> | or something unrelated |
| 00:32 | <mdz> | depends on whether you updated in like the past 15 minutes |
| 00:32 | <mdz> | Captain_Murdoch: shouldn't have, why? |
| 00:33 | <PeteCool> | yep, that matches |
| 00:33 | <PeteCool> | tell me when it's fixes please |
| 00:33 | <Captain_Murdoch> | just curious since your commit message said close all filehandles I wasn't sure if the backend still printed messages. |
| 00:35 | <Captain_Murdoch> | nevermind, I just looked at the code, shoulda done that first. :) |

| 00:44 | <mdz> | _shad: no problem |

| 00:44 | <_shad> | Good to know |
| 00:45 | <_shad> | I just want to have it stable for a couple of weeks to get used to it :P |
| 00:45 | <_shad> | I haven't had a chance to really play with it and watch recorded shows, since I keep trying to stay current with cvs |
| 00:49 | <PeteCool> | this is the first time cvs bites me |
| 00:55 | <PeteCool> | so I don't see how staying current with cvs prevents watching recorded shows :) |
| 01:00 | <PeteCool> | setup doesn't seem to see my sound devices |
| 01:09 | <mdz> | are you sure they exist? |
| 01:09 | <mdz> | ls -l /dev/dsp* |
| 01:09 | <mdz> | did you load the oss compat modules? |
| 01:10 | <PeteCool> | yeah |
| 01:10 | <PeteCool> | still get the VIDIO errors even if sound plays fine |
| 01:12 | <mdz> | the VIDIO errors have to do with your capture card |
| 01:13 | <mdz> | the contrast setting |
| 01:13 | <mdz> | like Chutt said earlier |
| 01:13 | <mdz> | or brightness |
| 01:16 | <PeteCool> | I don't see how this can happen |
| 01:16 | <PeteCool> | I didn't try to change them |
| 01:16 | <mdz> | check your db |
| 01:17 | <mdz> | select contrast, brightness, colour from channel |
| 01:17 | <mdz> | try changing them if they're weird |
| 01:17 | <mdz> | I'm going to bed |
| 01:27 | <PeteCool> | how would I set a field to NULL (and not just a stupid "NULL") |
| 01:33 | <PeteCool> | I reverted every hostname change I did and still nothing works but one previous recording (the others are "file missing") |

| 01:46 | <PeteCool> | I can't even define a new caputre card!!!!!!!! |
| 01:46 | <bigguy> | billytwowilly: it's not in 0.8 |

| 12:15 | <moegreen> | Hi Chutt! |
| 12:18 | <nziarek> | hey Moe - where do you get the "codes" for the weather types? are they in the HTML somewhere, or are they your invention? |
| 12:20 | <moegreen> | nziarek: they are embedded in the page that returns the actual weather. This isn't the page that you see when you go to msnbc.com (goto http://www.msnbc.com/m/chnk/d/weather_d_src.asp?acid=16801 to see the raw data --- why? |
| 12:22 | <nziarek> | moegreen: I went through www.weather.com's graphics in excel (since they are just numerically ordered) and saw that they only had like 40-45 graphics, many the same. I was just trying to see if there was a way to create all of the graphics so there could be no more unknowns... |
| 12:23 | <nziarek> | man, how did you ever find that page? |
| 12:24 | <moegreen> | nziarek: Yeah, I haven't found an easy way to get all the types - looking at the weathertypes.dat file you can see there seems to be a lot missing, but I think there just may be gaps in there |
| 12:25 | <nziarek> | oh well :) just trying to do my part, you know. i don't know if you were around, but I re-did the graphics. Someone complained about jaggies. |
| 12:28 | <moegreen> | I did see the new graphics, but I didn't see the complaints. My MythTV -user/-dev mailbox had ~700 emails |
| 12:29 | <nziarek> | they complained on IRC...and I know. I left for one weekend and came back to 500 emails. |
| 12:37 | <Chutt> | moegreen, mdz doesn't like your gzipped accid file or whatever it is =) |
| 12:50 | <moegreen> | Chutt: would he rather it be ungzipped? Or does he not like the idea of it? |
| 12:51 | <Chutt> | i think he'd rather have it uncompressed, yeah |
| 12:54 | <moegreen> | Chutt: I don't know if you saw, but before I left I had put up some screenshots of the playback window using other themes http://untzuntz.com/mythtv/testing/ |
| 12:54 | <Chutt> | yeah |
| 12:54 | <Chutt> | saw those =) |
| 12:55 | <Chutt> | think you said you thought that the shadow is too heavy, and i agree |
| 12:56 | <nziarek> | Re: the red highlight bar, any chance that can be changed to a graphic? |
| 12:57 | <moegreen> | yeah, that shouldn't be a problem |
| 12:58 | <moegreen> | Chutt: I was thinking for the scrolling, for it start at the very top, scroll to the middle - then the entire list will scroll with the bar in the middle, until it reaches the end at which point the scroller bar will goto the bottom of the list - comments? |
| 12:59 | <Chutt> | that makes sense, sure |
| 12:59 | <Chutt> | for the titles on the left, could you make em left justified instead of centered? |
| 12:59 | <mdz_> | moegreen: actually what bothered me was that it was gunzipped during a make clean (and then not even deleted) :-) |
| 13:00 | <moegreen> | mdz: oh, ok...didn't notice that |
| 13:00 | <moegreen> | Chutt: I'll do that and see what it looks like |
| 13:03 | <mdz_> | moegreen: really, I think it would be fine to have it uncompressed |
| 13:04 | <moegreen> | mdz: I'll probably go ahead and have it be uncompressed |
| 13:15 | <mdz_> | moegreen: it'll take up less space in the repository too |
| 13:15 | <mdz_> | over time |
| 13:17 | <Chutt> | hmm |
| 13:17 | <Chutt> | that's weird |
| 13:18 | <Chutt> | Few Showers doesn't show up with an image |
| 13:18 | <nziarek> | is it a #88? |
| 13:18 | <Chutt> | 21, i think |
| 13:18 | <Chutt> | i haven't updated since the release |
| 13:18 | <Chutt> | if you just added 88 |
| 13:18 | <Chutt> | wonder if that's something i broke when i updated the images =) |
| 13:19 | <nziarek> | i hacne't noticed, but in Milwaukee, its still 12 degrees :) |
| 13:19 | <mdz_> | so nice here today |
| 13:19 | <Chutt> | 68 out today |
| 13:20 | <Chutt> | blah |
| 13:20 | <Chutt> | i didn't install the new image names |
| 13:20 | <Chutt> | wait, yes i did |
| 13:20 | <Chutt> | it's just *.png |
| 13:21 | <Chutt> | i just never did a make distclean at the top level =) |
| 13:31 | <nziarek> | moegreen: when do you think the new theming will make it into CVS? I'd like to see how easy it is to theme... |

| 16:25 | <yebyen> | some of them are listed as "Frank Herbert's Children of Dune" |
| 16:25 | <yebyen> | some are just "Children of Dune" |
| 16:36 | <yebyen> | what would be best to increase the speed of the database... processor, more ram, giant raid array? :) |
| 16:36 | <yebyen> | it really bogs down in the conflict resolution screen |
| 16:38 | <Chutt> | that's pure cpu speed |
| 16:39 | <Chutt> | doing all the conflict resolution and stuff |
| 16:39 | <yebyen> | ok |
| 16:39 | <yebyen> | i've been thinking of building a dedicated mythbox |
| 16:39 | <yebyen> | with more power |
| 16:39 | <yebyen> | and two tv cards |
| 16:45 | <rkulagow> | chutt: was any of the mute code used around the channel change function to get rid of the static issues that some people report on the ML? |
| 16:46 | <Chutt> | it's there |
| 16:46 | <Chutt> | but the thing to do is mute the tuner |
| 16:46 | <Chutt> | not the output |
| 16:46 | <rkulagow> | ok, you mean the hardware mute on the tuner card, right? |
| 16:46 | <Chutt> | yup |
| 16:47 | <rkulagow> | i think i remember looking at that stuff in zapping when i first started looking at sound |

| 18:41 | <PeteCool> | is current cvs working? |
| 18:41 | <Chutt> | yes. |
| 18:42 | <Chutt> | mdz, you have a zaurus, right? |
| 18:43 | <PeteCool> | rkulagow: could you add a note in the docs not to change hostnames when myth is working? (or maybe I missed it) |
| 18:44 | <Chutt> | if you change hostnames, you need to update the hostname everywhere in the db. |
| 18:45 | <PeteCool> | eaxtly |
| 18:45 | <Chutt> | what's needed to note about that? |
| 18:45 | <PeteCool> | and in the recordings, this updates one of the date fields to current time |
| 18:45 | <PeteCool> | which loses the recordings |
| 18:45 | <Chutt> | err, not if you do the update properly. |
| 18:46 | <PeteCool> | update table set hostname = 'newone' where hostname = 'oldone' ? |
| 18:46 | <Chutt> | which, quite obviously, doesn't work for the recorded table |
| 18:47 | <Chutt> | since it stores dates as timestamps |
| 18:47 | <PeteCool> | how should I have done it then? |
| 18:49 | <_shad> | hmm. works if I add my user to the mythtv group |
| 18:49 | <Chutt> | you need to set the starttime field at the same time. |

| 18:53 | <yebyen> | yeah? |
| 18:53 | <Chutt> | i think |
| 18:53 | <Chutt> | i could be wrong, though =) |
| 18:53 | <Chutt> | don't pay _that_ much attention |

| 18:56 | <Chutt> | nothing, really |
| 18:56 | <yebyen> | 730m/740v... the math is kinda low for a CS major at CMU or MIT |

| 18:57 | <yebyen> | HEH |
| 18:57 | <mdz_> | Chutt: yes, I have a zaurus |
| 18:57 | <Chutt> | mdz, just ordered one |
| 18:57 | <mdz_> | Chutt: 5600? |
| 18:58 | <mdz_> | or one of the crazy japanese ones? |
| 18:58 | <Chutt> | naw, the 5500 for $178 shipped from hsn.com |
| 18:58 | <Chutt> | couldn't really pass that up as a toy |
| 18:58 | <mdz_> | that's what I have |
| 18:58 | <Chutt> | figure it might be fun to make it a remote control |
| 18:58 | <mdz_> | _shad: did you run setup and all that? |
| 18:58 | <mdz_> | _shad: and did you configure mythtv-frontend with the right IP and port when you installed it? |
| 18:59 | <_shad> | yep |
| 18:59 | <_shad> | gotta relogon on another machine |

| 19:00 | <yebyen> | fucking waitlist |
| 19:01 | <_shad> | mdz: ya, and added myself to the mythtv group, I ran mythfrontend fine, but it would freeze with mythtv |
| 19:01 | <yebyen> | "OK, you've waited all this time for an answer, so here it is... |
| 19:01 | <yebyen> | wait some more!" |
| 19:01 | <Chutt> | yebyen, should've applied for early admission, you would've known a lot sooner |
| 19:02 | <mdz_> | _shad: going to need some more information |
| 19:02 | <yebyen> | Chutt: but the thing of it is, i really don't know anything more than I knew a week ago |
| 19:02 | <mdz_> | than "it doesn't go" :-) |
| 19:02 | <mdz_> | I'm running the packages on my mythtv box now, so I know they work |
| 19:02 | <_shad> | I know |
| 19:02 | <_shad> | heh |
| 19:02 | <_shad> | nothing in the log file |
| 19:02 | <mdz_> | and I set up a remote frontend on my desktop using the packages as well |
| 19:02 | <yebyen> | Chutt: they've grabbed people from the wait list before... it's conceivable that in a month and a half, they'll call me up and say "Want to go to MIT?" |
| 19:02 | <_shad> | I'm gonna try on this box, Steph is using the other one right now |
| 19:03 | <Chutt> | yebyen, right, and it's more likely you won't hear anything from them |
| 19:03 | <yebyen> | and i'll say "WTF BITCH, AAAAH!!!" |
| 19:03 | <yebyen> | heh |
| 19:03 | <Chutt> | go someplace cheaper and less stressful :p |
| 19:03 | <yebyen> | i thrive on that stress |
| 19:05 | <_shad> | how do I change the default prompt level for debian? |
| 19:06 | <mdz_> | dpkg-reconfigure debconf |
| 19:06 | <_shad> | thx |
| 19:06 | <yebyen> | i would've probably felt better if they sent me a letter, typed all in caps, saying: |
| 19:07 | <yebyen> | "YUO FUCKING MORON! WTF DID YOU APPLY TO MIT? GO TO CLOWN COLLEGE ISNTEAD!!" |
| 19:07 | <Chutt> | right |
| 19:07 | <Chutt> | got a postcard instead? |
| 19:07 | <yebyen> | get a laugh out of me |
| 19:07 | <yebyen> | heh |
| 19:07 | <yebyen> | i got a letter with a postcard |
| 19:07 | <Chutt> | yeah, something like that |
| 19:07 | <Chutt> | it's been awhile since i got waitlisted :p |
| 19:08 | <yebyen> | heh |
| 19:18 | <_shad> | :) |
| 19:18 | <_shad> | I thought you were too smart to get waitlisted chutt |
| 19:35 | <_shad> | wow. this works |
| 19:35 | <_shad> | rock on |

| 20:26 | <Captain_Murdoch> | ok. may later tonight. |
| 20:26 | <Captain_Murdoch> | looking at Liam's logo detection stuff now and trying to think of ways to integrate his code into the post-record commercial detection stuff. |
| 20:27 | <mdz> | _shad: got it working? |
| 20:33 | <Captain_Murdoch> | Chutt, only took about 15 lines of code to get tv_play.cpp to read the file directly if it exists locally rather than streaming from the backend when it detects a myth:// url. |
| 20:34 | <Captain_Murdoch> | now I can debug changes to mythfrontend and just read the file from the nfs server rather than from the main/master/remote backend. |

| 20:47 | <mdz> | _shad_: yep |
| 20:49 | <_shad_> | question |
| 20:49 | <_shad_> | I'm using kde |
| 20:49 | <_shad_> | and in mythfrontend, in tv menu |
| 20:50 | <_shad_> | if I select schedule recording, schedule conflicts, or setup, I don't see the kicker panel |
| 20:50 | <_shad_> | but for watchtv, delete or watch recordings I do |
| 20:51 | <_shad_> | obviously I don't want to see the panel :) |
| 20:52 | <_shad_> | but, everything works perfectly, great job |
| 20:52 | <_shad_> | just needed to do a reinstall on this box |

| 22:16 | <PeteCool> | If I want channel names to be different (WFFF -> FOX) where would I change that? In the channels table? |
| 22:17 | <PeteCool> | or in xmltv? |
| 22:18 | <PeteCool> | I submitted a story about 0.8 to slashdot, and they rejected it... I don't see why, maybe an anti-pvr guy rated it :) |
| 22:25 | <Captain_Murdoch> | MythTV has been mentioned on there at least once a week it seems like for the past month or two either directly or indirectly. |
| 22:29 | <PeteCool> | I did change the channel names when I first set up myth, but don't remember which column I changed |
| 22:29 | <PeteCool> | I don't want to break anything again |
| 22:34 | <PeteCool> | actually that would be "break everything" :( |

| 22:37 | <Chutt> | captain_murdoch, your non-xv mode is causing problems on the list =) |
| 22:37 | <Chutt> | at least, i assume that's what that guy's issue with X taking massive amounts of cpu is |
| 22:40 | <_shad> | Chutt: Have you played with much x86 assembler? |
| 22:48 | <Captain_Murdoch> | ok, I'll go read it. |
| 22:57 | <Captain_Murdoch> | Chutt, which list is that. My cablemodem provider decided to change my IP on me so I missed a little mail and am looking through the web interface |
| 22:59 | <Captain_Murdoch> | I modifed the code to use the yuv scaling functions within libavcodec but it didn't seem to speed up any on my box. I need to do some more testing now that I have myth setup on my main workstation as well as my "production" server. :) |
| 22:59 | <Chutt> | users, close to the most recent posting |
| 23:00 | <Captain_Murdoch> | ok, thanks |
| 23:00 | <Chutt> | "Locks up and Slow Performance" |
| 23:00 | <Chutt> | he's got other problems, too, but =) |
| 23:01 | <Captain_Murdoch> | replying now, mail just came through. |
| 23:02 | <Chutt> | you agree with that diagnosis? |
| 23:05 | <Captain_Murdoch> | yeah, I asked if he had the drivers installed and asked if he saw the "non-Xv mode" message from mythfrontend. |
| 23:05 | <Chutt> | that's the only thing i can think of that'd make the frontend/x use that much cpu, at least |
| 23:06 | <Captain_Murdoch> | yeah, frontend doing scaling & conversion and then passing all that data (even with Xshm) to the X server. I had hoped for a bigger speed difference with Xshm but I guess scaling and color conversion far outweighs the time spent copying the data. |
| 23:06 | <Chutt> | yeah |
| 23:07 | <Chutt> | the big speedup with xv, aside from free scaling and colorspace conversion, is the fact that it's rendering the video directly to the allocated video buffers |
| 23:07 | <Captain_Murdoch> | I commited the patch earlier to read the file directly if it exists even if the pathname is a myth:// url. small mod to tv_play.cpp. nice being able to playback stuff and not even hitting the backend server at all since my storage is across nfs on a different server. |
| 23:07 | <Chutt> | and so it's not copying around huge chunks of video all the time |
| 23:08 | <Chutt> | yeah, i saw |
| 23:08 | <Chutt> | didn't look at the change yet, but, that's cool. |
| 23:08 | <Chutt> | how's it getting the rest of the path? |
| 23:09 | <Captain_Murdoch> | it uses RecordFilePrefix from the db. if different servers use different directories then the file won't exist in RecordFilePrefix |
| 23:09 | <Captain_Murdoch> | if all servers use the same directory (/usr2/vcr/mythv/recordings in my case) then frontends can read directly from the nfs server. |
| 23:10 | <Captain_Murdoch> | I don't see any reason that multiple frontends can't use the same recording directory since they'll have different filenames. |
| 23:14 | <Captain_Murdoch> | frontends/backends that is... :) I type too much. |
| 23:14 | <Chutt> | yeah, that should work |
| 23:18 | <Captain_Murdoch> | I was promoting MythTV in the Yahoo! "Linux,FreeBSD, Solaris" chat room earlier. I wrote a GTK+ chat program called Gyach that allows *nix users to chat in Yahoo!'s rooms. Working under Linux, *BSD, Mac OS/X, Solaris, and even Win32 using cygwin so far. |
| 23:18 | <Captain_Murdoch> | had one guy go download it I think. |
| 23:19 | <Captain_Murdoch> | "it" meaning MythTV. :) |
| 23:31 | <PeteCool> | I have weird errors with the Mplayer0.90rc4 nuv patch... |
| 23:31 | <PeteCool> | it plays ofr a fraction of a second then complains about bad resolution |
| 23:32 | <PeteCool> | ends with a crash |
| 23:33 | <Captain_Murdoch> | never use the patch myself. |
| 23:35 | <PeteCool> | the small part I see has a very bad aspect ratio too |
| 23:35 | <PeteCool> | and it's the same for each video output plugin I tried |
| 23:35 | <PeteCool> | Captain_Murdoch: I borked my records database, or else I wouldn't be using it either :) |
| 23:36 | <Captain_Murdoch> | use the script in the contrib directory to rebuild the database |
| 23:36 | <Captain_Murdoch> | it will reinsert records into the recorded table. |
