| 00:05 | <thor_> | myth has crossed a threshold of popularity, HTML mail on the user list ! |
| 00:13 | <Chutt> | thor, i'm not sure if i like the multiple playlists being 'active' thing |
| 00:13 | <Chutt> | it seems kind of redundant to have that |
| 00:13 | <thor_> | say again |
| 00:13 | <Chutt> | you've got the playlist being listed twice in the tree |
| 00:13 | <Chutt> | once in the top tree, with the tracks and stuff |
| 00:14 | <thor_> | not necessarily |
| 00:14 | <Chutt> | and once down below in the 'select and edit playlists' |
| 00:14 | <thor_> | if you're playlists (below) have dependencies (other playlists), then they disappear from above |
| 00:15 | <thor_> | if there were only one below, how would you change "active" |
| 00:15 | <Chutt> | you don't change active |
| 00:15 | <Chutt> | active is always the same |
| 00:15 | <Chutt> | what you have as 'default' |
| 00:16 | <Chutt> | if you want to play a playlist, it gets added to that |
| 00:16 | <thor_> | ok, but you still need the list below, because the list above is dependent on lists within lists |
| 00:17 | <Chutt> | can't just grey out what you'd make disappear? |
| 00:17 | <thor_> | uhm ... sure ... why not |
| 00:17 | <thor_> | :-) |
| 00:18 | <Chutt> | i'm just not liking having the lists in two places =) |
| 00:18 | <thor_> | But then you only have check boxes, which means you need another key to do popups |
| 00:18 | <Chutt> | that's fine, i'd like to have another key to do popups |
| 00:19 | <thor_> | And I tried like hell to keep everyting to arrows, ESC and Space |
| 00:19 | <Chutt> | to delete a playlist, you have to make it active, then select it again to get the popup |
| 00:19 | <Chutt> | rather just have a dedicated info button |
| 00:20 | <Chutt> | that shows the popup |
| 00:21 | <thor_> | OK ... "i" key? Is that the binding for EPG? |
| 00:21 | <Chutt> | yup |
| 00:21 | <Chutt> | hmm |
| 00:21 | <Chutt> | if you can't select other playlists as 'active' |
| 00:21 | <thor_> | ... |
| 00:21 | <Chutt> | is the inifinite recursive problem still there? |
| 00:22 | <thor_> | well, you want to be able to copy "default" to "new playlist" |
| 00:23 | <thor_> | you then make a new one that includes "new playlist" |
| 00:23 | <thor_> | then you can't go back into new playlist and refernce that "new one" (last one) |
| 00:23 | <thor_> | or .... infinite recursion |
| 00:24 | * Ndiin | waits impatiently for the "Select Music" menu option to work.. |
| 00:25 | <thor_> | It works, this is more of a debate about aesthetics and UI ;-) |
| 00:25 | <Ndiin> | Should it be taking long the first time, with your patch, thor? |
| 00:25 | <Chutt> | heh |
| 00:25 | <Chutt> | thor, this works rather well, though =) |
| 00:25 | <thor_> | Ndiin, hope note |
| 00:26 | <thor_> | hop not |
| 00:26 | <thor_> | hope not |
| 00:26 | <Ndiin> | hmm, then its locked |
| 00:26 | <Chutt> | you're not sorting the in-ram tracks, though, are you? |
| 00:26 | <Ndiin> | It is on about 13gb of mp3s.. |
| 00:26 | <Chutt> | so it may have a bunch of work to do to turn it into a tree |
| 00:27 | <thor_> | Not yet, but there are all kinds of comments to myself in the code such as "SPEED THIS UP", should be presorted |
| 00:27 | <Ndiin> | if my cpu weren't already pegged, this would be pegging it.. |
| 00:27 | <thor_> | Ndiin, did you run mythmusic, or ./mythmusic |
| 00:27 | <Chutt> | thor, basically, i think that if you moved the 'select and edit playlists' for the non-default playlist functionality up into the 'Playlists' bit |
| 00:28 | <Ndiin> | mythmusic |
| 00:28 | <Chutt> | then made 'Select and Edit Playlists' basically just be the 'Default' tree item |
| 00:28 | <Chutt> | that should work fairly well |
| 00:28 | <thor_> | As I claimed :-), it works, it's just a question of tweaking the tree |
| 00:28 | <Chutt> | yeah |
| 00:29 | <Chutt> | so things would only be listed once =) |
| 00:29 | <thor_> | Ndiin, after patch, then make install? |
| 00:29 | <Chutt> | maybe move the playlists bit outside of the 'All Music' tree |
| 00:29 | <Chutt> | to be a separate top level item |
| 00:29 | <Ndiin> | correct thor. |
| 00:29 | <Ndiin> | I like the startup progress dialog btw, nice touch ;) |
| 00:30 | <thor_> | Ndiin, after make install, did you re-edit /usr/local/share/myth/mythmusic-settings.txt? |
| 00:30 | <Chutt> | thor, i'll steal the playlists icon from freeamp and check that into cvs =) |
| 00:30 | <Ndiin> | I use a package system that didnt overwrite it, thor. |
| 00:30 | <Ndiin> | TreeLevels=directory, though. |
| 00:31 | <thor_> | Chutt, ... crap ... how do we change order |
| 00:31 | <Chutt> | same way you are now |
| 00:31 | <thor_> | Ndiin, hang on |
| 00:31 | <Chutt> | the playlists above can list things like the current stuff does in 'select and edit' |
| 00:31 | <thor_> | as well as subplaylists? |
| 00:32 | <Chutt> | well, i'd assume they'd just list: Playlist <blah> like now |
| 00:32 | <thor_> | OK, at playlist top level (above) you get tracks (you can move) or playlists (like now) you can move |
| 00:34 | <Chutt> | yup |
| 00:34 | <thor_> | Ndiin, TreeLevels stuff is probably wildly broken. Anything you can do to let me know where it's hanging would be good |
| 00:34 | <Ndiin> | Just about to take a peek. |
| 00:36 | <thor_> | Chutt, I think this will work ... but I had a pretty stiff gin and tonic after I posted the patch, so who knows? |
| 00:36 | <Chutt> | heh |
| 00:37 | <thor_> | My only point of reluctance is the extra key binding, but that's not really an issue |
| 00:38 | <Ndiin> | Just to make sure it was "directory" causing the problem, I swapped it.. works fine with "artist album track", etc. |
| 00:38 | <thor_> | Ndiin, code you want to look at is in databasebox.cpp, just above a call to recurseDivinely() in fillLists() |
| 00:39 | <Ndiin> | Cheers |
| 00:41 | <thor_> | Chutt, do you have a policy on Qt version (see dev)? |
| 00:42 | <Chutt> | i'd like things to work with 3.0 |
| 00:42 | <thor_> | Yeah, plus it's in libmyth ... hang on, I'm checking old Qt docs |
| 00:43 | <Chutt> | even though 3.1 came out back in november |
| 00:46 | <Chutt> | there |
| 00:46 | <Chutt> | just checked in a decent enough playlist icon |
| 00:46 | <Chutt> | matches the rest of the tree icons |
| 00:46 | <Chutt> | at least |
| 00:48 | <thor_> | Chutt, Qt thing fixed |
| 00:48 | <Chutt> | thanks |
| 00:49 | <thor_> | Will use the new icon, now all I need is a decent UP/DOWN one |
| 00:49 | <Chutt> | heh |
| 00:49 | <Chutt> | sorry, don't have one for that =) |
| 00:49 | <thor_> | I'll find a kde arrow somewhere and twist it around |
| 01:00 | <Ndiin> | thor_: ok, its infinite looping through the subdirectory loops.. |
| 01:01 | <Ndiin> | the actual for loop is repeating infinately |
| 01:03 | <thor_> | Ndiin, it's way past my bedtime ... can you send me an e-mail (mythtv@lamedomainname.com) or post to dev? |
| 01:03 | <Ndiin> | Scratch that. its the while loop that parents that, heh |
| 01:03 | <Ndiin> | yeah, ill do some more research |
| 01:03 | <thor_> | thanks |
| 01:15 | <Ndiin> | Its a one liner btw... you missed a search_pool.remove(iter); in pullMetadataFromPool() |

| 15:22 | <zap30> | Hi all is there anybody here who might be able to help me setting up mythtv ? |
| 15:22 | <Ndiin> | the documentation is quite robust. |
| 15:23 | <zap30> | yeah I know, but I am new to linux and have been trying for 3 days on Mandrake 9.0 & RH 8.0 |
| 15:26 | <zap30> | I am currently stuck on 4.1 in Mandrake I cannot create the correct path & don't know why ? |
| 15:27 | <Soopaman> | zap30, install debian |
| 15:27 | <Soopaman> | and grab the mythtv packages |
| 15:27 | <bigguy> | Soopaman: debian may not be that easy for him being a linux newbie |
| 15:28 | <bigguy> | mandrake should be about the easiest for newbies |
| 15:28 | <bigguy> | anyway bbl |
| 15:28 | <Soopaman> | hardware detection yes |
| 15:30 | <-- thor_ | (~thor@208.185.11.34) has left #mythtv |
| 15:59 | <zap30> | can anyone suggest anything for me ? |
| 16:00 | <Chutt> | sure, we magically know what your problem is. |
| 16:03 | <Soopaman> | heheh |
| 16:04 | <Soopaman> | zap30, i would seriously suggest going the debian route |
| 16:04 | <Chutt> | that's a silly suggestion |
| 16:04 | <Chutt> | it works perfectly well on other dists |
| 16:07 | <Soopaman> | heheh |
| 16:07 | <Soopaman> | are there pre-made packages |
| 16:07 | <Soopaman> | for those other dists? |
| 16:07 | <Chutt> | yup. |
| 16:08 | <Soopaman> | dummyfied packages? |
| 16:08 | <Chutt> | as far as i know |
| 16:08 | <Soopaman> | oh, then get off your ass and read the faq zap30 |
| 16:08 | <Soopaman> | i thought only debian had the pre-built packages |
| 16:49 | <mdz> | there are 0.8 RPMs as of yesterday or so |
| 16:49 | <mdz> | I don't think they automatically set up the database or anything fancy like that (yet), but that stuff is well documented anyway |
| 16:50 | <mdz> | the Debian packages are mostly aimed at Debian users; I wouldn't suggest that a new Linux user switch to Debian just to use the packages |
| 16:50 | <mdz> | any benefit they would get from the packages would be offset by having to learn Debian |
| 16:50 | <bigguy> | I agree |
| 16:52 | <zap30> | I came here as a last resort as I just can't seem to work out where I am going wrong. I have spent the last few days trawling the net for info. |
| 16:52 | <Chutt> | you haven't said what's wrong |
| 16:52 | <Chutt> | if you want help, do so |
| 16:52 | <Chutt> | otherwise, you're just wasting people's time |
| 16:54 | <zap30> | as I said earlier I cannot set the correct path as the instructions say in chapter 4.1 |
| 16:54 | <Chutt> | the instructions in part 4.1 tell you exactly what to type in. |
| 16:54 | <Chutt> | saying that you can't set it gives absolutely no indication of what you're doing wrong. |
| 16:56 | <zap30> | thats what I have done I type cd /etc/profile.d but it returns me to # prompt |
| 16:56 | <Chutt> | err, and what's wrong with that? |
| 16:57 | <zap30> | ok it looks like in the instruction you should not get a # prompt |
| 16:57 | <Chutt> | if you're really this new to linux |
| 16:57 | <Chutt> | you shouldn't be using this stuff at all. |
| 16:58 | <merf> | zap30: it's probably because you're logged in as root or something |
| 16:58 | <merf> | the prompt doesn't really matter |
| 16:58 | <merf> | (well, it does, but not right now) |
| 16:59 | <zap30> | however if I continue I and set the path as per the instructions and come out of shell when I go back in and type set the path shown is not correct |
| 16:59 | <zap30> | not logged in as root |
| 17:02 | <zap30> | I am also just trying to learn ! got to start somewhere |
| 17:03 | <mdz> | zap30: start with the basics. mythtv is a difficult application right now. |
| 17:04 | <merf> | zap30: once you make the mythtv.sh file, you need to logout and log back in |
| 17:05 | <merf> | after you chmod a+x it, too |
| 17:08 | <zap30> | merf this is exactly what I have done |
| 17:09 | <Chutt> | then figure out yourself why it's not working |
| 17:09 | <Chutt> | you need to learn how to use linux |
| 17:09 | <merf> | Chutt: and this is how he's gonna |
| 17:09 | <Chutt> | by asking questions in an irc channel? |
| 17:09 | <merf> | zap30: type the two 'export' lines in your shell |
| 17:09 | <Chutt> | hardly |
| 17:10 | <merf> | Chutt: how'd you learn? |
| 17:10 | <Chutt> | by figuring things out on my own? |
| 17:10 | <merf> | zap30: that'll set those variables, but they won't be set in any other shell |
| 17:10 | <merf> | you never asked any questions? |
| 17:10 | <bigguy> | Chutt: as did alot of people |
| 17:10 | <Chutt> | not really, no |
| 17:10 | <bigguy> | merf: I didn't |
| 17:11 | <Chutt> | there's plenty of resources out there |
| 17:11 | <merf> | i dunno |
| 17:11 | <merf> | Chutt: agreed |
| 17:11 | <merf> | there's definitely the answer to any question if you take time to look |
| 17:11 | <merf> | but i'm lazy as hell, and if i can get a quick answer off some irc nerd, then i will :D |
| 17:11 | <Chutt> | by doing that, you're saying that your time is more important than mine |
| 17:12 | <Chutt> | and that's not the case :p |
| 17:12 | <merf> | not really |
| 17:12 | <merf> | i'm saying 'you know, so tell me' |
| 17:12 | <merf> | and if you don't have time to or don't want to, then don't |
| 17:12 | <merf> | :D |
| 17:12 | <merf> | but don't hassle me if i ask a lame question |
| 17:12 | <merf> | everyone was a newb once |
| 17:12 | <merf> | </lameness> |
| 17:12 | <merf> | anyways, i'm going now |

| 17:20 | -!- | setre [~jussi@h166n2fls31o879.telia.com] has joined #mythtv |
| 17:21 | <setre> | Is there anyway possible that I could write a driver for a tuner/bttv card to make the tuner switch fast enough to be able to watch/capture two channels at the same time? |
| 17:22 | <Chutt> | nope |
| 17:22 | <bigguy> | erm |
| 17:22 | <setre> | why not? |
| 17:22 | <Chutt> | switch channels in xawtv |
| 17:22 | <Chutt> | that's how fast you can switch channels in the driver |
| 17:23 | <Chutt> | the hardware is not capable of doing that fast enough. |
| 17:23 | <setre> | I wonder why the h/w is that slow |
| 17:24 | <setre> | does anyone now of cards with fast tuners? |
| 17:24 | <Chutt> | buy another card. |
| 17:24 | <Ndiin> | if nothing else, the audio would cut out. |
| 17:24 | <setre> | Chutt: It should be possible to do this with one fast card |
| 17:24 | <Ndiin> | the video isnt necessarily the problem |
| 17:24 | <Chutt> | no, it shouldn't |
| 17:24 | <Chutt> | why wouldn't you want two cards? |
| 17:25 | <setre> | Chutt: why not? (~25 fps)x2 just isn't that fast |
| 17:25 | <Chutt> | just being cheap? |
| 17:26 | <Chutt> | how fast can you change channels on a regular tv? |
| 17:26 | <setre> | Chutt: it's more that I find the idea interesting |
| 17:27 | <setre> | Chutt: regular tv's are oldschool |
| 17:27 | <Chutt> | yeah, whatever |
| 17:28 | <Chutt> | it takes a nonzero amount of time for the tuner to lock into the channel |
| 17:28 | <setre> | Chutt: perhaps I need to build a new tuner then |
| 17:28 | <Chutt> | unless you're willing to sacrifice frame rate |
| 17:28 | <setre> | I am not |
| 17:29 | <Chutt> | then how can you grab two frames from two different sources that are being transmitted at the exact same time with one tuner? |
| 17:29 | <Ndiin> | you can't, the best you could possibly achieve is halved framerate. |
| 17:29 | <Chutt> | exactly |
| 17:29 | <Chutt> | and you won't even get that |
| 17:29 | <setre> | ok, you guys are right. |
| 17:30 | <setre> | but I think, a bit between half and full framerate should be possible still |
| 17:30 | <Chutt> | half would be the maximium |
| 17:30 | <Chutt> | if you could switch in absolutely 0 time |
| 17:30 | <Ndiin> | theres no backbuffer for the frames.. |
| 17:30 | <Chutt> | but that's not possible |
| 17:30 | <Ndiin> | once transmitted, you cant get the frame back |
| 17:30 | <setre> | they are on different channels, hence have different bandwidth, and different transfer time |
| 17:36 | <setre> | anyway, to whoever contributed to mythtv, I just want to say thanks, and great work! it is neat indeed! |

| 18:43 | <Chutt> | i don't remember seeing any major bugs that would necessitate a new release in the very short term |
| 18:44 | <Chutt> | so why is it even an issue? |
| 18:47 | <thor_> | Chutt, just to be sure ... you want only the (implicitly) active playlist active (ie. move things up/down) in the bottom tree, correct? |

| 18:48 | <Chutt> | yeah |

| 18:50 | <thor_> | It's **much** cleaner, but I worry slightly that some users will never realize they can save "Current" as something else (mystery key press). Code later tonight. |

| 18:50 | <moegreen> | that whole area is now done w/ drawText methods |
| 18:50 | <Chutt> | so the bottom's being drawn now, not using qlabels? |
| 18:50 | <moegreen> | right |
| 18:50 | <Chutt> | make it configurable how much, problem solved =) |

| 20:10 | -!- | mythtv is now known as rkulagow__ |
| 20:21 | <rkulagow__> | woot! got that new dell server today, about 2 weeks ahead of schedule. it's most excellent. i was worried that it was going to be big and noisy, but it's no bigger than any of my mid tower boxes, and it's actually _quieter_ than my regular piii/733 |
| 20:22 | <moegreen> | nice...is this a purchase for MythTV? |
| 20:23 | <rkulagow__> | pretty much. first box i've got with decent CPU; 2.4Ghz should be enough for at least two tuners. |

| 21:00 | <JonnyRo> | hello |
| 21:13 | <moegreen> | hello |
| 21:14 | <JonnyRo> | hows it going? |
| 21:14 | <JonnyRo> | I was curious if anyone has been able to get mythtv to compile on cygwin |
| 21:15 | <JonnyRo> | My wife wants to watch video from my linux mythbox on her windows pc |
| 21:15 | <JonnyRo> | she only cares about mythfrontend |
| 21:16 | <JonnyRo> | Someday soon I hope to get her to switch over to Linux |
| 21:18 | <moegreen> | I think some people have tried with no success...there are others that are interested in that functionality (the viewing via Windows) |
| 21:20 | <-- JonnyRo | (~jonny@89.34.33.65.cfl.rr.com) has left #mythtv |
| 21:21 | <moegreen> | ok...thanks for stopping by |

| 21:47 | <Ndiin> | Not the awnser he wanted, I suppose. |
| 21:49 | <moegreen> | heh, true |
| 21:50 | <Ndiin> | Almost time to try this new nwn linux client.. |
| 21:51 | <Chutt> | if that had come out last summer, i would be intersted in it |
| 21:52 | <Chutt> | nwn was fun for awhile, but... |
| 21:52 | <Ndiin> | yeah, my sentiments are similar. |
| 21:52 | <Ndiin> | But, I always play a game at least twice. |
| 21:52 | <Chutt> | i don't have time for that =) |
| 21:52 | <Ndiin> | I barely do anymore, heh |
| 21:53 | <Chutt> | just a few more days until the new zelda |
| 21:53 | <Chutt> | and i've still got another game to finish before then, if i can |
| 21:53 | <Ndiin> | hehe |
| 21:55 | <moegreen> | Chutt: I've got the playbackbox resizing to the gui, and I got the video working |
| 21:55 | <moegreen> | I think all I need to do is some coding to show the "amount of space available" bar |
| 21:55 | <Chutt> | cool |
| 21:56 | <moegreen> | do you want to take a quick look at the code and see if you see anything you'd like changed? |
| 21:56 | <Chutt> | sure |
| 21:56 | <moegreen> | alright, I'll package it up w/ the graphics and email it to you |
| 21:56 | <Chutt> | cool =) |
| 21:56 | <Chutt> | i'm thinking of working on the osd, next |
| 21:57 | <Chutt> | make it more flexible and stuff |
| 21:58 | <Soopaman> | how is slackware as a dist? |
| 21:58 | <Ndiin> | Slackware used to be a good do-it-yourselfer, a few steps up from LFS.. dunno how it is now though |
| 22:00 | <Justin_> | Soopaman: ever use debian? |
| 22:01 | <moegreen> | Chutt: it should default to the transparent pics, use PlayBoxTransparency = 0 to see the solids |
| 22:01 | <Chutt> | ok |
| 22:01 | <Ndiin> | I use gentoo myself.. I like the ease of patching packages, etc. *shrug* |
| 22:05 | <Chutt> | bit of program title leaking over =) |
| 22:05 | <moegreen> | which part? |
| 22:06 | <Chutt> | into the next box |
| 22:06 | <moegreen> | one of the smaller titles? |
| 22:07 | <Chutt> | one of the longer |
| 22:07 | <Chutt> | just like part of a character |
| 22:07 | <moegreen> | right longer, but the smaller font titles on the left hand side? |
| 22:07 | <Chutt> | yeah |
| 22:08 | <Chutt> | cool, the non transparent stuff is definately fast enough |
| 22:08 | <moegreen> | I might have mis-copied the value to the ints I just added |
| 22:08 | <Soopaman> | Justin_, yeah i learnt linux on debian, the only thing i am against are the old ass kernels they insist on using |
| 22:08 | <Soopaman> | that and i could never get my self compiled kernels to init on it |
| 22:08 | <moegreen> | yeah, that stuff is pretty quick - well really quick if you don't have the video on |
| 22:08 | <Justin_> | Soopaman: uh well then 3 things |
| 22:08 | <Justin_> | 1, debian does not come with old kernels |
| 22:08 | <Chutt> | do static preview pixmaps work? |
| 22:09 | <moegreen> | yeah, they should |
| 22:09 | <Justin_> | 2, if your kernels didn't work, you had no business compiling them |
| 22:09 | <Chutt> | not working here |
| 22:09 | <Chutt> | but, that could be something else |
| 22:09 | <moegreen> | unless I broke them :) |
| 22:09 | <moegreen> | let me check |
| 22:09 | <Justin_> | and 3, slackware is debian with all the good stuff removed, so it you didnt like debian, your not going to like slackware |
| 22:09 | <Soopaman> | heh ok |
| 22:09 | <moegreen> | and it would be that I broke them |
| 22:11 | <moegreen> | oh, hehe, tmp.drawPixmap((int)(600*wmult), (int)(400*hmult), temp); should be 40, not 400 |
| 22:11 | <Chutt> | it doesn't deal well with programs without a subtitle |
| 22:11 | <moegreen> | I changed that because I thought it was a typ-o before :) |
| 22:11 | <moegreen> | I have it that way by design (you mean the info moving up) |
| 22:11 | <moegreen> | but it can change |
| 22:11 | <Chutt> | well, it's blank |
| 22:11 | <Chutt> | =) |
| 22:12 | <Justin_> | shouldnt the 600 be 60 then? |
| 22:12 | <Chutt> | nope |
| 22:12 | <moegreen> | Justin_: no the 600 refers to the length across the entire screen |
| 22:12 | <Justin_> | oh:) |
| 22:12 | <moegreen> | the 40 is the amount down from the top of that particular box |
| 22:13 | <Justin_> | ah:) |
| 22:14 | <Chutt> | wait |
| 22:14 | <Chutt> | hmm |
| 22:14 | <Chutt> | i restarted, and it wasn't blank anymore |
| 22:14 | <Chutt> | was filled with the title |
| 22:14 | <Chutt> | but before, it wasn't showing anything |
| 22:15 | -!- | m0tion [] has quit [Read error: 54 (Connection reset by peer)] |
| 22:15 | <Chutt> | weird |
| 22:16 | <moegreen> | hmmm... |
| 22:16 | <Chutt> | it shows the title until i select with it |
| 22:16 | <Chutt> | other thing is, preview pixmaps still aren't working =) |
| 22:17 | <moegreen> | yeah, i forgot I actually put the video in it's own Rect so it wouldn't keep updating the info |
| 22:17 | <Chutt> | all in all, though, very cool =) |
| 22:19 | <moegreen> | well ... it's close :) |
| 22:19 | <Chutt> | yup |
| 22:19 | <Chutt> | how are you going to handle the progress bar? |
| 22:19 | <Chutt> | draw your own, or embed a qt widget? |
| 22:20 | <moegreen> | I'm not sure ... I was thinking maybe another png that would just be cut off at the right length |
| 22:20 | <moegreen> | I think that would give the most flexibility |
| 22:20 | <moegreen> | then the other thing I need to do is let the Rect()'s sizes be define so the layout can change some |
| 22:21 | <moegreen> | if desired |
| 22:21 | <moegreen> | but deleting and playing works |
| 22:21 | <Chutt> | xml, probably |
| 22:21 | <Chutt> | would be easiest |
| 22:21 | <moegreen> | yeah, there are a lot of options |
| 22:21 | <Chutt> | fit in with the existing theme stuff |
| 22:22 | <moegreen> | I guess I can keep all these settings in here, then if the theme designer can change just one or two things if he/she wants to |
| 22:26 | <moegreen> | Chutt: what was the problem w/ programs with not subtitle? I have it so the Airdate:/Channel:/etc move up to fill in it's place - this lets the description be 3 lines |
| 22:26 | <moegreen> | err with no subtitle |
| 22:31 | <Chutt> | in the top listings |
| 22:31 | <Chutt> | if it's on the preview pixmap |
| 22:31 | <Chutt> | it'll show the title in place of the subtitle at first |
| 22:31 | <Chutt> | then clear it out when the item is selected |
| 22:31 | <Chutt> | and show an empty subtitle instead |
| 22:35 | <moegreen> | hmm...I'm still not following. I'll look into it |
| 22:36 | <Chutt> | well, the subtitle originally wasn't shown, the channel/airdate moved up |
| 22:36 | <Chutt> | but after it was selected in the program list |
| 22:36 | <Chutt> | there was a line with |
| 22:36 | <Chutt> | " " |
| 22:36 | <Chutt> | on it |
| 22:37 | <moegreen> | odd...I've got the preview pixmaps working again |
| 22:44 | <Chutt> | To test the performance of my computer, I ran some totally unrelated software! |
| 22:51 | <Ndiin> | Isn't that how most people do it, Chutt? ;) |
| 23:13 | <poptix> | Chutt: my bogomips are bigger than your bogomips. |
| 23:15 | <bigguy> | poptix: that's not what my calculations show |
| 23:15 | <bigguy> | ;) |
| 23:15 | <bigguy> | and the satalite imagery backs me up |
| 23:15 | <bigguy> | ;) |
| 23:16 | <poptix> | damn. |
| 23:17 | <bigguy> | <hick>that'll learn you.</hick> |
| 23:19 | <poptix> | i found someone interested in adding mpeg[1/2] support to mythtv |

| 23:36 | <Chutt> | i'm just ignoring it |
| 23:36 | <bigguy> | eh |
| 23:36 | <Chutt> | other than making random comments in here |
| 23:36 | <bigguy> | heh even |
| 23:36 | <bigguy> | I log but it's still hard trying to go back and read stuff |
| 23:38 | <bigguy> | oh finally someone says something about the politeness of html email |
| 23:45 | <poptix> | Chutt: yes |
| 23:45 | <poptix> | Chutt: this guy writes kernel drivers for a living |
| 23:46 | <poptix> | thats another reason i'm not willing to even bother wrapping my brain around it, i _know_ i can't do it right =p |
