superm1coax input12:24
majoridiotweird stuff12:24
superm1the really weird thing -12:25
majoridiotdefinitely has problem with the white blalance colorspace.12:25
superm1it was fixed perfectly by unplugging a webcam12:25
superm1the webcam was /dev/video012:25
superm1and ivtv was /dev/video012:25
superm1and ivtv was /dev/video`112:25
superm1and ivtv was /dev/video112:25
superm1third times a charm :)12:25
superm1he unplugged the webcam, rebooted - ivtv got /dev/video0 and things worked fine12:25
majoridiotso the webcam driver is buggy12:25
superm1spitting garbage all over the rest of v4l devices though?12:26
superm1that seemed a bit odd to me12:26
majoridiotunless it's some sort of ivtv quirk on that particular hardware12:27
majoridioti've never had any problems with ivtv running at /dev/video1 or /dev/video212:27
superm1he was very excited though that things were up and running.  he said feisty was by far the easiest myth install ever following the help.ubuntu.com/community/MythTV guides12:27
superm1yea me either12:27
majoridiotwho was this?12:28
superm1bramblewhalen or whalenster12:28
superm1he goes by both12:28
majoridiotah. k.  not familiar.12:29
superm1i've spoke with him on and off for some time12:29
majoridiotXenocide was doing a fresh feisty  install yesterday and was quite pleased as well12:29
superm1ah wonderful12:29
superm1I think i saw chad pop in here at some point to (i was only at my comp about 3 minutes yesterday -  enough time to see the irc channel list)12:30
majoridiothe was in later last night12:30
majoridiotcomcast is hosing him on firewire... we discussed it a bit.12:31
superm1oh no?12:31
superm1i thought 5C was abolished12:31
superm1with comcast12:31
majoridiotwell, i don't think the problem is 5C, but i'm not sure12:31
superm1well of course they always give everyone the runaround with regard to *getting* the box12:32
superm1you pointed him at the fcc docs i assume?12:32
majoridiotanyway, nothing but OTA will go out over firewire and that's against the law.12:32
superm1well not true.12:32
majoridioti pointed him at the statutes12:32
superm1i never got anything but analog and OTA over firewire in rochester last year after time warner locked down my firewire box12:32
superm1and i pushed and pushed and got nowhere12:33
majoridiotyou pushed in the wrong places ;)12:33
majoridiotlol12:33
superm1well there is a technicality to your statement12:33
superm1if nothing but OTA goes out thru firewire period, then thats against the law12:34
majoridiotwithout a special determination, the must allow for timeshifting and reording of non pay-per view and it is hardware neutral12:34
majoridiotexept with repect to the internet and cable modems12:34
superm1now if everything but OTA doesn't go out in unecyrypted format, thats legal - as long as its available with the proper encryption12:34
majoridiotnope.12:34
majoridiotsec12:34
superm1then how are they gettign away with 5C everywhere in the country - this makes no sense to me then.....12:35
majoridiot (1) Commercial audiovisual content shall not be encoded so as to prevent or limit copying thereof except as follows:12:35
majoridiot(i) To prevent or limit copying of video-on-demand or pay-per-view transmissions, subject to the requirements of paragraph (b)(2) of this section; and12:35
majoridiot(ii) To prevent or limit copying, other than first generation of copies, of pay television transmissions, non-premium subscription television, and free conditional access delivery transmissions; and12:35
majoridiot(2) With respect to any commercial audiovisual content delivered or transmitted in form of a video-on-demand or pay-per-view transmission, a covered entity shall not encode such content so as to prevent a covered product, without further authorization, from pausing such content up to 90 minutes from initial transmission by the covered entity (e.g., frame-by-frame, minute-by-minute, megabyte by megabyte).12:35
superm1what is this taken from?12:36
majoridiotif it's not PPV, a pay service like HBO, ETC. or VOD, they can't legally restrict firewire transmissions.12:36
majoridiottitle 47 of the code of federal regulations12:37
majoridiot 76.190412:37
majoridiot(i do this kinda shit for a living ;)  )12:37
superm1okay, so tell me why does 5C exist then on everything across the country12:37
superm1i mean i would think there would have been dozens of lawsuits regarding this already12:37
majoridiotit doesn't *everywhere* and on *everything*12:37
majoridioti have nothing on mine that is 5C except pay channels12:38
superm1okay *reword*.  why does it exist on so many cable company's content12:38
superm1because every cable company i've had now12:38
majoridiotand i have not checked to see if i paid for them if they would go over firewire12:38
superm1i've had 3 different cable providers now12:38
majoridiotbecause 99% of the people have no clue what 5C is, and the ones that do don't know the law12:38
majoridiotthe cable companies will do it until they are forced not to.12:39
superm1okay then this begs the question - who are the right people to push regarding this.12:39
majoridiotsenators, congressmen and the FCC12:39
majoridiotFCC first- it is their duty to enforce tat law12:40
majoridiotor explain why they are not12:40
superm1did you have to in order to get your local cable company to get 5C off?12:40
superm1or were you just fortunate enough to begin12:40
majoridiotwhich requires they also show a special determination and where it was published.12:40
majoridiotit was dodgy at first, so i called...12:41
gardengnomesuperm1: hey, you wanted to talk to me a few days ago?12:41
superm1gardengnome, yes but i dont recall why12:41
superm1gardengnome, probably nothing too important12:41
majoridiotinisisted on being passed up the line to supervisors and their supervisors...12:41
gardengnomesuperm1: heh, k12:41
superm1majoridiot, i did the same thing.12:41
majoridiotmade it clear i knew the law, explained what i was doing, explained it was *no different* that hooking up a pvr12:41
majoridiotand it went away within a week12:41
superm1but i eventually hit a field engineer  who gave me a straight answer that it wasnt their decision12:42
superm1that it was content provider's decisions12:42
superm1that they were in control of what content had 5C turned on12:42
majoridiotno... it is the FCCs decision.12:42
superm1are you sure?12:42
majoridiotabsolutely.12:42
majoridiotthat is what the FCC does12:42
majoridiotthey make and enforce12:42
majoridiotthe cable companies MUST comply12:43
superm1well if not for the fact that i will only be living in the same place for 4 months at a time for the next 8 months, I'd go and push my next two cable companies12:43
majoridiotthe only reason they aren't is because their content providers pushed them into a corner and not enough people have complained to make a difference.12:43
superm1do you think this is why comcast is pulling it around the country then?12:43
superm1because enough people did complain?12:43
majoridiotyes and no12:43
majoridiotit's subterfuge12:44
majoridiotyes they are pulling 5C12:44
majoridiotbut they are also changing a broadcast flag that breaks firewire12:44
superm1wha?12:44
majoridiotwhich i *think* is what chad's prob is.12:44
superm1so on the channels that should be working - his box's diag screen is indeed saying 5C=0?12:45
majoridiotthe CCI flag12:45
superm1but for some other reason, they arent working12:45
majoridiotdunno if that is wht his box is reporting or not12:45
superm1CCI flag is part of the mpeg stream?12:46
majoridiotyes12:46
majoridiotCCI is the copy flag12:46
majoridiotso a lot of firmware is being updated to broadcast in the clear- no 5C12:47
superm1i didnt realize that there was anything in addition to 5C.  i thought this definition of "copy once, copy never, etc" was part of the 5C spec12:47
majoridiotbut also with a CCI flax of 0x01 or 0x02, etc12:47
majoridiotwhich breaks fireiwre12:47

superm1?12:49
majoridiotwell, here's a screenshot of a non-5C with a CCI of 0x02 that breaks fw: http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/attachment.php?attachmentid=7881612:50
superm1can u dcc it12:51

tgm4883Hey whats the command to add a line to /etc/modules without having to open it and such.01:15
tgm4883something like "echo "dvb_cx88"01:15
majoridiotsudo sh -c "echo "cx88_dvb" >> /etc/modules"01:16
gardengnomei'd guess it's "...01:16
gardengnomethanks majoridiot :)01:16
majoridiot;)01:16
tgm4883thanks01:18
tgm4883i was looking all over for that01:18
majoridiotoddly enough, it's in the guide.01:18
majoridiothttps://help.ubuntu.com/community/MythTV_Feisty_hardware_list01:18
tgm4883Is that page new, i dont remember seeing it before01:19
tgm4883I could be blind though01:20
tgm4883wouldn't be the first time01:20
majoridiotit's been there for awhile01:20
tgm4883im blind then01:20
tgm4883sign me up for coke bottle glasses and bingo01:20
tgm4883no offence to those who love pepsi01:21
majoridiotor cribbage01:21
tgm4883or cribbage :)01:21
majoridiotsuperm1: well, i just got around to checking and the reason that half of my HD channels are corrupted is that the 0x02 CCI has been set.04:02
superm1oh no?04:02
=== majoridiot will be calling insight cable tomorrow and demanding reparations
superm1when did these corrupted channels begin to come in corrupted?04:02
majoridiotrecent past. hard to tell.04:03
majoridiotbut certainly since start of the year04:03
superm1so you really think you will be able to get them to set CCI to 0x00 by a simple call?04:03
majoridiotin this case THEY HAVE TO- they are all OTA HD channels04:03
majoridiotincluding a PBS LMMFAO04:03
superm1oh snap.04:03
majoridiotyup.04:03
majoridiotmy guess, is a tech got itchy when locking down the HDNet channels04:04
majoridiotor something at the head got messed.04:04
superm1it'll be nice if thats all it was04:04
majoridiotin any event, they will be fixing this. ;)04:04
superm1depending on how badly my roomate and i want to get digital cable this summer at our next place, i'll see if i need to get some tips from you...04:05
majoridiotwhat since would it make for them to select 4 or 5 ota HD channels to lock down with 0x02 and leave everything else wide open?04:05
majoridiot(sense)04:05
superm1otherwise my Air2PC HD5000 will handle any non encrypted QAM channels at least for me (which is most of what i watch anyhow)04:05
majoridiotnice04:05
superm1well i hope they dont lock down more by your call though04:06
superm1as in oh we meant to lock it all04:06
superm1and you just reminded us04:06
majoridiotnon-encrypted as in non-5C or is it ok with 0x02 CCI?04:06
superm1on encrypted as in i dont need a digital cable box for them04:06
majoridiotah04:07
superm1typically its just the OTA channels being rebroadcasted and other people who use on demand channels04:07
majoridiotwell, the way i look at it... insight is in the process of merging with comcast (ew)... and if they want that merger to go through smoothly, then they must pass franchising, etc.04:08
majoridiotthe city holds the local franchise04:09
majoridioti'm not planning for war, tho.  insight has been very good to deal with.04:09
majoridioti think i will call and report a problem, get a tech here, explain and have him call the right guy.04:10
majoridiotthat seemed the best route when the phone geeks couldn't suss out what i meant by a "ground-loop" prob i was fighting on my broadband connection.04:11
superm1how do you get a tech though?04:19
superm1rather than a regularcustomer service rep04:19
majoridiotjust report a problem they can't handle.04:19
superm1yea thats the same thing i had to do to climb the chain of support04:19
superm1still got me nowhere though :)04:19
superm1the only time i made real progress was my going in in person04:20
majoridiotactually, i don't feel like being home between non and six...04:21
majoridioti'll start by asking for a supervisor04:21
superm1non and six?04:21
majoridiotthat usually gets their attention04:21
majoridiotnoon04:21
superm1oh04:21
superm1noon and six - thats when you have to normally call?04:21
majoridioti meant for a tech to come04:22
superm1oh04:22
majoridiotthey give you that "block" of sit around and wait on us time.04:22
superm1makes more sense04:22
=== majoridiot recalls kramer on seinfeld
superm1yea04:22
majoridioti'll start it as a "problem"04:23
majoridioti.e. why is it that...?04:23
majoridiotand see what they say.04:23
superm1what bugs me more than anything - the first thing that they tend to make you do is switch out the box04:23
majoridiot(it may escalate into a complaint from there) LOL04:23
majoridiotyeah... that's usually resolution step one.04:24
majoridiotlike calling dsl repair and the first thing they make you do is recycle the power to the modem and router, even though you have repeatedly.04:24
superm1yes exactly04:25
superm1when i eventually had a supervisor's email, i captured the diag screen on my ivtv card04:25
superm1showing what a 5c channel loooked like04:25
superm1and he still made me switch the box first04:25
superm1such stupid shit04:26
majoridiotprotocol04:26
majoridiotcya04:26
superm1leavin?04:26
majoridiotsorry... no.04:26
majoridiotCover Your Ass04:26
superm1ah04:26
superm1yes04:26
majoridiotso at the next performance review, he can show he played by the rules04:26
majoridioteven when he didn't have to04:27
majoridiotok... brings up a good question...04:27
majoridioton a 5C channel...04:27
majoridiotif you take the output from the stb into a 150, does it cap ok or does macrovision get it?04:28
superm1captures fine04:29
majoridioti thought it would04:29
majoridiotbut have learned not to assume04:29
superm1never had macrovision troubles04:29
majoridiotsome has happened to firewire in feisty04:29
majoridiotsomething04:29
majoridiottakes longer to establish a good connection and lags occasionally...04:30
superm1thats odd?04:30
majoridiotwas waiting to dig into it...04:31
majoridioti notived that libiec61883-dev didn't come with, as it did with edgy04:31
majoridiotthought maybe there would be an update04:31
superm1didnt come with?04:32
superm1you mean no feisty version04:32
majoridiotcorrect04:32
majoridiotit was packaged with feisty04:32
superm1well no new upstream version would mean no new version for feisty04:32
majoridioter04:32
majoridiotedgy04:32
superm1should have told me sooner though if there was one04:32
superm1coulda packaged it04:33
majoridiotdidn't realize it until yesterday04:33
superm1ah04:33
majoridiotwas having a priming problem and couldn't do a "plugreport"04:33
majoridiot(note: priming problems will always occur when the STB is powered off)04:34
superm1well if there is a new upstream version, i can help you package it04:34
superm1in the next coming weeks04:35
majoridiotgreat.  ty.04:35
superm1can be your first package and all :)04:35
superm1are you going to run for ubuntu membership later this year too?04:35
superm1and try to get an @ubuntu.com address and all04:35
majoridiotnever considered it, honestly04:36
majoridiota good idea04:36
superm1at least look into it.  you've been putting in lots of work here04:39
superm1it is great to get recognized for it04:39
superm1i'm not sure if i will be able to be a sponsor, but if so i'd be glad to04:40
majoridiotappreciated04:40
majoridiotis there a regular cycle for applications or just whenever?04:40
superm1i dont remember off hand how it worked04:42
superm1i think its every community council meeting04:42
superm1so there is a regular cycle to it04:42
superm1there is a page on wiki.ubuntu.com about it04:42
superm1https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NewDevelopersAndMaintainers04:49
superm1that talks a bit about it04:49
majoridiotah... ty.  got distracted.04:49

majoridiotwell there just a *little* more to it than that05:00
majoridiotunless it has some KILLER AI05:00
superm1well man bzr for the rest05:01
superm1teaches how to checkout05:01
majoridiothehe yeah05:01
superm1here is the address you would check out from: http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-mythtv/mythtv/ubuntu05:02
majoridiotexcellent... i'm bookmarking it.05:03
superm1well its not a browsable address afaik05:05
majoridiotno05:05
superm1its just the argument you use for checking out the first time05:05
superm1and for pushing05:05
majoridiotbut i know where i put it :)05:05
majoridioti'll see if i can't get at it tomorrow05:06
superm1well no rush - i wont be able to do much with it myself up until finals now05:06
superm1so another couple of weeks05:06
superm1until i can do any real contributions05:06
majoridiotit will take me another couple of weeks to come up to speed on the basics ;)05:06
superm1:)05:07
majoridiotgive me a chance to poke around and see if i can figure out how things kinda work05:07
superm1you can give the live disk build script a run too05:08
superm1i havent ran it for a while05:08
majoridiotgreat05:09
superm1actually there are a few new changes that will be required to it anyhow05:10
superm1due to the new packages05:10
superm1with the wrapper scripts and such05:11

[g2] Have you guys heard about LinuxMCE at all ?11:39
majoridiotnot a lot, no.11:40
majoridiotsomething specific you need?11:40
=== superm1 [n=superm1@ubuntu/member/superm1] has joined #ubuntu-mythtv
superm1majoridiot, hey12:08
superm1just sent you mail12:08
superm1i should learn to sign into IRC *before* responding to your emails12:08
superm1haha12:08
majoridiothaha12:08
[g2] majoridiot, are you familiar with LinuxMCE at all ?12:09
majoridiotg2: not a lot.  what do you need?12:09
superm1[g2] , it uses components from several open source projects, afaik mr home, xine, mythtv12:10
superm1[g2] , its basically Pluto Home (www.plutohome.com) repackaged for debian12:11
superm1for most people its overkill, but a really neat idea12:11
[g2] hmmmm where to begin ....12:12
superm1[g2] , are you just looking to setup a PVR?12:12
superm1or you do want to go all this home automation stuff12:12
[g2] I've got my own embedded linux company12:12
superm1right12:13
[g2] so I've been doing XScale/ARM embedded linux for the last several years12:13
superm1right12:13
[g2] Ubuntu has been the basis for my development system as I had OpenEmbedded layered on top of it12:14
[g2] The last 6 months or so I've been playing with pvr/media streaming and running the latest feisty stuff for the last few months12:14
[g2] I tried the latest myth-install and had the same issues a s guy in here had12:15
superm1you had issues?12:15
superm1what sort12:15
[g2] superm1, yes I did12:15
superm1and with the latest packages?12:15
[g2] I'd guess about 3-4 weeks ago12:15
superm1lots has changed in the last 5 days :)12:16
[g2] things have been a little blur has I've have an appletv that's hacked12:16
majoridiotlots has changed :)12:16
superm1[g2] , you put ubuntu on the appletv?12:16
[g2] my plan it to get a (ubuntu based) myth-tv front-end on the appletv12:16
superm1oh sweet12:16
[g2] ppl are running gentoo right now12:16
majoridiotshould be doable.12:17
[g2] there's an issue with the efi loader12:17
[g2] so a bastard mach-0 wrapper needs to be created to boot an embedded linux kernel12:17
superm1so as of now do you have it booting ubuntu yet?12:17
[g2] superm1, not yet12:18
superm1[g2] , isnt there a native mac build of mythtv though?12:18
superm1shouldnt that run right out of the box?12:18
[g2] superm1, the appletv runs a modifiied Leparod 10.4.712:18
[g2] and while I've played with the Apple stuff, I'm really a hardcore Linux guy12:19
superm1yea i hear ya there12:19
[g2] there are quite a lot (a dozen or two) really talented Mac hackers really tearing up the Mac side12:20
superm1well [g2]  what issues were you running across on our packages a few weeks ago12:20
[g2] but really all those most are just one apple flash away from naught12:20
superm1i can let you know if those problems have absolved12:20
[g2] superm1 somebody was walking a guy through a lot (I think all) the problems I was having12:21
[g2] in here12:21
[g2] I saw it in the logs12:21
superm1do you know what day?12:21
superm1oh actually i think they have been purged from last month already12:21
[g2] superm1, is ubuntulog  purging files on my box ? :)12:22
superm1hehe12:22
superm1good point12:22
superm1well particularly were they mysql related problems?12:22
superm1with passwords12:22
superm1and permissions and such12:22
[g2] yeah12:23
superm1okay.  thats exactly what my patches this last week took care of12:23
superm1as long as you clean up the mess sputtered around from the old ones (apt-get remove --purge mythtv-common mysql-server, rm ~/.mythtv rm /etc/mythtv and delete mythconverg database) you should be fine12:23
[g2] superm1, Ok I'll be happy to try a re-install and test and report any issue12:25
[g2] issues12:25
superm1very good :)12:25
[g2] superm1, are you around for the next couple hours ?12:27
superm1actually only for about 20 min more12:27
superm1i've got work this evening12:27
superm1i'll check back in later tonite though12:27
=== majoridiot will be around
superm1around 10 or 11ish12:27
superm1central12:27
superm1majoridiot, is more than capable of helping though :)12:27
superm1and will point you in the direction of feisty guides that he authored and such too...12:28
[g2] so super... I'm very impressed with many of the ubuntu devs and ubuntu in general12:28
