[01:42] <superm1> hey majoridiot has mythweather been broke for you?
[01:43] <superm1> as in not updating whatsoever?
[01:43] <majoridiot> i haven't installed it yet
[01:43] <superm1> i was just prepping my laptop for my presentation tomorrow on mythtv to my class
[01:43] <superm1> and realized that it wasnt updating
[01:43] <majoridiot> hm.
[01:44] <majoridiot> i'm getting ready to eat... but i can test it in a bit
[01:44] <superm1> k
[01:44] <majoridiot> i'll holla within the hour
[01:44] <superm1> i'm so nervous in case something else goes wrong tomorrow morning :)
[01:44] <majoridiot> hehe... presentations.
[01:45] <majoridiot> biab
[01:45] <rcludw> I practiced things 10 times, only to have it fail when it counted.
[01:47] <rcludw> It _never_ fails.
[01:49] <superm1> rcludw, i'm gonna make a keynote just in case my live demo does decide to take a dump
[01:49] <superm1> rcludw, but i've practiced roughly 15 times from start to finish with all aspects i was gonna talk about and such
[01:49] <rcludw> So you're over due.
[01:49] <rcludw> ;)
[01:50] <superm1> hehe
[01:50] <rcludw> Seriously though, the law of averages always catches up to you.
[01:51] <superm1> i'll keep that in mind.  i really hope that it all works tomorrow though.  its quite a hack the way I through things together
[01:52] <majoridiot> superm1: the radar data updates but the res of the info does not
[01:52] <majoridiot> i shoulda put this in a long time ago LOL
[01:52] <superm1> majoridiot, from what i've read on the mailing list, looks to be spread out cross the countr
[01:52] <superm1> not just us in the midwest
[01:52] <superm1> s/through/threw
[01:53] <majoridiot> superm1: is the info server configurable?
[01:53] <superm1> not afaik
[01:53] <superm1> i think its because the guide source changed the site layout
[01:53] <superm1> and its no longer parsable
[01:53] <majoridiot> hm.  as soon as the pizza rolls finish and i have a munch, i'll look into it a little if you want
[01:54] <rcludw> Where does the guide data come from?
[01:54] <superm1> k majoridiot
[01:54] <superm1> rcludw, i thought weather channel
[01:54] <superm1> rcludw, not positive though
[01:54] <superm1> there are no fixes committed to trunk even for it
[01:55] <rcludw> huh... I usually try to get my data from weather.gov
[01:55] <rcludw> (if possible)
[01:56] <superm1> well the only reason i think its weather channel is because thats the radar that it gets
[01:56] <superm1> so i assumed data was the same place
[01:56] <superm1> wunderground is what i usually use though
[01:57] <rcludw> I kinda like getting it from the source....
[01:58] <rcludw> NOAA added the nifty SRV data on their site as well.
[01:58] <superm1> SRV data?
[01:58] <rcludw> The Storm Relative Velocity data....
[01:58] <rcludw> Used for pinpointing tornadoes in a storm.
[01:59] <superm1> ah
[02:00] <superm1> supermario@portablemario:~/Software/source/mythplugins/mythplugins-0.20-svn20070122/mythweather/mythweather$ grep http * | grep QString | grep DataURL
[02:00] <superm1> weather.cpp:    QString weatherDataURL = "http://www.msnbc.com/m/chnk/d/weather_d_src.asp?acid=" + locale;
[02:00] <superm1> looks like msnbc is the source then
[02:00] <rcludw> That should be a configuration string....
[02:00] <superm1> would be a matter of learning to parse other sites for data then
[02:01] <superm1> rcludw, i'm sure that a patch like that would be very welcomed upstream
[02:01] <superm1> especially considering msnbc is broken
[02:01] <rcludw> True, but if you had 4 or so sites, you could pick another one.
[02:03] <rcludw> And why did they use c++?
[02:04] <superm1> most of myth is written that way
[02:05] <rcludw> It seems like perl or python would be a better choice for frequently changing data processing.
[02:09] <rcludw> I've got my own troubles.... lol...
[02:09] <rcludw> I can't get mythtv-backend to actually record anything.
[02:14] <rcludw> http://www.weather.gov/forecasts/xml/#XML_contents
[02:15] <rcludw> If you know a lat/long you can get hourly predictions for the next 7 days.
[03:36] <majoridiot> superm1: is this weather bug critical?
[03:36] <superm1> too late to fix.
[03:36] <superm1> no fixes on the lits about it either
[03:37] <superm1> or on svn for that matter
[03:45] <superm1> majoridiot, worth mentioning that its broke ATM if your doing that wiki page though
[03:45] <superm1> and maybe linking to the mailing list discussion
[03:45] <majoridiot> yeah very broke
[03:46] <majoridiot> i just didn't know if you needed it for tomorrow...
[03:47] <superm1> oh no rush
[03:47] <superm1> i dont expect a huge influx of people saying feisty broke my mythweather!
[03:47] <superm1> wtf
[03:47] <superm1> or anything
[03:47] <superm1> edgy folk broke too
[03:47] <superm1> from this
[03:48] <majoridiot> edgy folk?
[03:48] <majoridiot> nm
[03:48] <majoridiot> read back
[03:48] <majoridiot> lol.
[03:48] <majoridiot> didn't know if you were going to try and fix it or not
[03:49] <superm1> if there is no patch by the time my finals are done, i might look into making one
[03:49] <superm1> but i expect one by then
[04:27] <majoridiot> nice fix for the imdb.pl breakage just posted...
[04:28] <majoridiot> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=366415&goto=newpost
[04:49] <superm1> wait...
[04:49] <superm1> its broke AGAIN
[04:50] <superm1> we just fixed it!
[04:50] <superm1> those bastards
[04:50] <majoridiot> according to a subsequent post, the fix is in svn
[04:50] <majoridiot> but yes, it ws broke
[04:51] <majoridiot> i noticed when i redid the backend and dropped the database.  the director info was not working.
[04:51] <majoridiot> still isn't fixed to suit my tastes... i'm seeing if i can decypher a fix.
[04:56] <superm1> well we'll fix in post feisty packages then
[04:57] <majoridiot> doesn't this have mismatched quotes?
[04:57] <majoridiot> $director = parseBetween($director, "/\">", "<");
[05:00] <superm1> no
[05:00] <superm1> that looks right
[05:00] <superm1> oh wia
[05:00] <superm1> tno
[05:00] <superm1> that is mismatched
[05:00] <majoridiot> plus, i don't know anything about perl...
[05:00] <majoridiot> but i think it should be:
[05:00] <majoridiot> $director = parseBetween($director, ">", "<");
[05:01] <majoridiot> anyway.
[05:01] <superm1> thats what i think
[05:01] <majoridiot> lol
[05:02] <majoridiot> well... it was broken in the version before as well
[05:02] <majoridiot> (not broken, it functions... but it is wrong)
[05:27] <superm1> why does it function?
[05:27] <superm1> that doesnt make sense..
[05:27] <superm1> is there an ending quote a few lines later or something
[05:27] <majoridiot> it's part of that imdb.pl script
[05:27] <majoridiot> it didn't look right when i looked at it
[05:28] <majoridiot> i'm picking at it trying to get it to retrieve multiple directors instead of "unknown"
[05:28] <majoridiot> and saw that.
[05:29] <superm1> well you should submit a patch back up to svn.mythtv.org then
[05:29] <superm1> after you straighten this out :)
[05:29] <majoridiot> i'm trying to figure out perl atm. LOL
[05:30] <majoridiot> i've got the change i want... i just need to figure out how to get them joined correctly.
[06:15] <superm1> majoridiot, hows bzr and packaging stuff comin
[06:16] <majoridiot> it got bzr in and pulled down the myth package...
[06:17] <majoridiot> got the packaging guide printed and will start pouring over it tomorrow
[06:17] <majoridiot> been too distracted today to focus... and i need to focus on that
[06:18] <superm1> no rush :) feisty's out in two days, so that means time  to releax
[06:18] <majoridiot> i need to learn
[06:18] <majoridiot> :)
[06:46] <majoridiot> superm1: i'll be damned.  i fixed it.
[06:46] <majoridiot> :)
[06:46] <superm1> nice job dude
[06:47] <superm1> submit it on a bug at svn.mythtv.org
[06:47] <majoridiot> well... it works from command line.  lemme see how it behaves with the frontend.
[06:55] <majoridiot> superm1: well, imdb.pl will now correctly pull the first two directors instead of showing "unknown" if there are multiple
[06:55] <superm1> awesome
[06:55] <superm1> i'm sure that patch will have no trouble getting in either
[06:55] <majoridiot> but i need to figure out how to change the layout of the video manager now... :)
[06:56] <majoridiot> need to move the display around a bit, as multi directors run over the runtime display
[06:56] <majoridiot> but it looks GREAT in the gallery view of the video library
[06:56] <superm1> was it possibly designed to just get one director?
[06:56] <superm1> for that reason
[06:57] <majoridiot> mayhaps... but i think there is room to move it around
[06:57] <majoridiot> actually...
[06:58] <majoridiot> just bump "year" down to the second row with imdb num, browsable and parental level and move runtime over a bit.  etc.
[07:00] <superm1> majoridiot, dont play too much here :0
[07:01] <majoridiot> oops
[07:02] <superm1> gallery looks great
[07:02] <superm1> but that other one is meh
[07:02] <majoridiot> yeah
[07:03] <majoridiot> yes... it is messy
[07:03] <majoridiot> but i think it can be fixed, no?
[07:04] <superm1> i dunno...
[07:04] <superm1> i'm gonna head to bed though
[07:04] <majoridiot> enjoy!
