| Daviey | superm1: anybody can make a factoid | 12:32 |
| Daviey | just needs approval from ubuntu-ops | 12:33 |
| superm1 | oh so it doesn't even need to be Seveas? | 12:33 |
| Daviey | yep | 12:33 |
| Daviey | IIRC you just need to type: ub0tu: mythbuntu is xyz | 12:34 |
| Daviey | (chang the nick back) :) | 12:34 |
| superm1 | okay i msged it to ubotu | 12:35 |
| superm1 | we'll see if she learns it | 12:35 |
| Daviey | did he say, i'll remember that? | 12:36 |
| superm1 | she said she'll as #ubuntu-ops | 12:36 |
| superm1 | to ack it | 12:36 |
| Daviey | 15:35 < ubotu> In ubotu, superm1 said: mythbuntu is An Ubuntu derivative centered upon setting up a standalone MythTV box. See http://www.mythbuntu.org for more information | 12:36 |
| kruuli | yay \o/ its fucking working! | 12:36 |
| Daviey | superm1: approved! | 12:37 |
| superm1 | 15:35.... how are you 2 hours behind me Daviey ? | 12:37 |
| Daviey | !mythbuntu | 12:37 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about mythbuntu - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi | 12:37 |
| superm1 | !mythbuntu | 12:37 |
| superm1 | its 17:35 on my clock | 12:37 |
| Daviey | superm1: I'm working from a warped timezone | 12:38 |
| superm1 | ah that makes sense | 12:38 |
| superm1 | to get more time to finish the metas before tomorrow :) | 12:38 |
| Daviey | yep! | 12:38 |
| Daviey | That's california time | 12:38 |
| superm1 | good idea | 12:38 |
| Daviey | Ah.. seems ubotu is broken :( | 12:39 |

| ubotu | mythbuntu is an Ubuntu derivative centered upon setting up a standalone MythTV system. See: http://www.mythbuntu.org for more information | 12:42 |
| superm1 | there we go | 12:42 |
| Daviey | !mythbuntu | 12:42 |
| Daviey | too fast | 12:43 |
| Daviey | seems there is a bug with the caps.. :SX | 12:44 |

| ubotu | mythbuntu is an Ubuntu derivative centered upon setting up a standalone MythTV system. See: http://www.mythbuntu.org for more information | 12:44 |

| Daviey | ^ Cap :) | 12:47 |
| superm1 | Daviey, who are you talking to about that? | 12:47 |
| Daviey | #ubuntu-ops | 12:47 |
| superm1 | your not in it according to whois though? | 12:47 |
| Daviey | you're whois is borked | 12:48 |
| Daviey | if i whois myself it shows | 12:48 |
| superm1 | weird | 12:48 |
| Daviey | channels : #mythtv-users #ubuntu-kernel ##kernel #ubuntu-fridge #ubuntu-devel #ubuntu-ops #ubuntu-mythtv #ubuntu-uk | 12:48 |
| superm1 | * [Daviey] (i=daviey@ubuntu/member/daviey): Dave Walker | 12:49 |
| superm1 | * [Daviey] #ubuntu-devel #ubuntu-mythtv | 12:49 |

| superm1 | * [superm1] #ubuntu-chicago #ubuntu-devel #ubuntu-motu #ubuntu-mythtv | 12:49 |
| superm1 | is that the same thing you see? | 12:49 |
| Daviey | Ahh. It is only show the channels we share existance in | 12:49 |
| Daviey | superm1: you = channels : #ubuntu-chicago #ubuntu-devel #ubuntu-motu #ubuntu-mythtv | 12:50 |
| Daviey | I must have switched on hiding or something | 12:50 |
| superm1 | no that can't be it | 12:50 |
| superm1 | because look at this | 12:50 |
| superm1 | * [rogue780] (n=rogue780@c-68-55-176-33.hsd1.md.comcast.net): shawn haggard | 12:50 |

| superm1 | oh | 12:50 |
| Daviey | I think there is a account option to hide you | 12:50 |
| superm1 | you swtiched on hiding | 12:50 |
| superm1 | not me | 12:50 |
| Daviey | yeah | 12:51 |
| Daviey | Didn't actually know it did that.. how odd | 12:51 |
| superm1 | don't see such an option for xchat | 12:52 |
| superm1 | irssi must have it though then huh | 12:52 |
| Daviey | naa it's a /msg nickserv option | 12:52 |
| Daviey | try whoising me now | 12:55 |
| superm1 | same thing | 12:55 |
| kruuli | just wanna say thank you guys for helping me with this .. know ive been a pain in the ass sometimes but now my htpc is up and running and everything is working :D | 12:56 |
| superm1 | glad everything is working kruuli :) | 12:56 |
| kruuli | thanks mate! | 12:56 |
| kruuli | but ive got to say | 12:56 |
| kruuli | if someone asks me if they should install a linux htpc and they never even touched linux befor ..ill say NO! | 12:57 |
| kruuli | :p | 12:57 |
| superm1 | well kruuli the goal of mythbuntu here in the end will be so that people who aren't very experienced can set a machine up | 12:57 |
| kruuli | yeah i think it will be great :) | 12:58 |
| superm1 | so if you can compile a list of things you ran into that need to be fixed, it can definitely help the process | 12:58 |
| kruuli | bc now when i got it running it rocks! love the mythweb! | 12:58 |
| kruuli | i will do that! | 12:58 |
| superm1 | or things that documentation is non existant | 12:58 |
| superm1 | or needs updating | 12:58 |
| superm1 | anything like that | 12:58 |
| kruuli | yeah ill sit down tomorrow and go thru it | 12:59 |
| superm1 | those of us using these things and working on them on a day to day basis don't catch such things | 12:59 |
| superm1 | awesome | 12:59 |
| kruuli | btw .. did you ever get to test you new shine nvidia stuff? | 12:59 |
| superm1 | yes | 12:59 |
| superm1 | and it works on the tv's i've tried with | 12:59 |
| kruuli | hehe can understand that .. didnt know what sudo was when i started : | 12:59 |
| superm1 | but my friend said it drove his monitor to way to high of a resolution | 12:59 |
| kruuli | great! | 12:59 |
| superm1 | so i'll have to see what the input is after next alpha | 01:00 |
| kruuli | did you say "whine"? | 01:00 |
| kruuli | ^^ | 01:00 |
| superm1 | i did? | 01:00 |
| kruuli | nah .. meant to your friend who were complaining about the res :> | 01:02 |
| kruuli | if that was your answer | 01:02 |
| superm1 | haha. | 01:02 |
| superm1 | i told him that i'll think about it | 01:02 |
| kruuli | hehe | 01:03 |
| kruuli | found out some stuff about xbmcmythtv btw | 01:03 |
| kruuli | it sucks at Live Tv | 01:03 |
| kruuli | not even working atm | 01:03 |
| kruuli | how fast is the channel changing on a mythfrontend? | 01:04 |
| superm1 | depends on the tuner | 01:04 |
| kruuli | any experince with the pvr 150? | 01:07 |
| kruuli | cuz in xbmcmythtv it takes like 10-15 sec to start it | 01:07 |
| Daviey | Takes me around 5 secs to change livetc channel | 01:08 |
| kruuli | ah k | 01:08 |
| kruuli | and xbmc prolly takes 5 sec to cache the file | 01:08 |
| superm1 | when i tune an analogue station, it takes 1-2 seconds | 01:13 |
| superm1 | for digital stations if its on the same mplex, its <1 second | 01:13 |
| superm1 | if its a different mplex, its 8>time>5 seconds | 01:14 |
| Daviey | same multiplex still takes me 5-7 secs | 01:15 |
| superm1 | but i never notice any of the times though | 01:15 |
| superm1 | because i dont watch live :) | 01:15 |
| Daviey | me neither | 01:16 |
| Daviey | but the misses watches music channels on livetv | 01:16 |
| rogue780 | superm1, what's that? | 01:16 |
| Daviey | sometimes i'll put livetv on for the daughters cartoons | 01:16 |
| superm1 | rogue780, you were used as an example | 01:16 |
| superm1 | dont worry :) | 01:16 |
| rogue780 | 'tis ok. I'm used to being used ;) | 01:17 |
| === Daviey likes to see an exaple made of rogue780 | ||
| Daviey | hopefullt others will learn not to be naughty | 01:17 |
| Daviey | :) | 01:17 |
| rogue780 | good news everyone...I defeated someone at supreme commander | 01:17 |
| rogue780 | 'twas quite a battle...but in the end he who held the largest gun won | 01:18 |
| superm1 | keescook, don't worry about the gtk theme later this week, i got themuso to re-ack and upload it | 01:18 |
| rogue780 | is there a way to have myth reenter previously recorded shows into the database when the database was lost and all you have is the drive that stores videos? | 01:19 |
| superm1 | rogue780, yes | 01:21 |
| superm1 | but its not fun | 01:21 |
| superm1 | there is a script in the contrib directory (/usr/share/doc/mythtv-backend/contrib i think) | 01:22 |
| Daviey | yeah, you'll need to manually type the name etc of the shows | 01:22 |
| superm1 | imo its not worth it | 01:22 |
| superm1 | watch what you need through mythvideo | 01:22 |
| Daviey | unless you can grab a backlisting from somebody | 01:23 |
| superm1 | and then delete it | 01:23 |
| rogue780 | seems to me, now call me crazy, that as myth records and deletes it should maintain a file...like /videos/.showmetadata that can be read in the event of a crash | 01:23 |
| superm1 | rogue780, which packages are you using? | 01:24 |
| superm1 | feisty? | 01:24 |
| superm1 | there are database backups made | 01:24 |
| rogue780 | I seem to mess up my server a lot...I should know better, but I just can't help myself from messin' with stuff | 01:24 |
| superm1 | automatically | 01:24 |
| rogue780 | superm1, right....is there a way to define where the backups are stored? | 01:24 |
| superm1 | atm they go to /var/backups i think | 01:24 |
| superm1 | dont remember off hand | 01:24 |
| superm1 | its somewhere in /var | 01:25 |
| superm1 | and yes that can be customized | 01:25 |
| Daviey | rogue780: you can export an sql file for each recording.. that could be made to be a cron job with some hacking. Then it would store a .sql file for each recoridng | 01:25 |
| superm1 | but if you have a DB backup, you can just restore that | 01:25 |
| superm1 | and hopefully get a lot of them back | 01:26 |
| rogue780 | that would be cool if I could customize it...'cause it's useless as ::random noun:: on a ::other random noun:: if it's on the same drive that dies | 01:26 |
| superm1 | easily | 01:26 |
| rogue780 | I used to have a cron job that backed up the entire mythconverg database...but I lost it | 01:26 |
| Daviey | rogue780: myth.rebuilddatabase.pl | 01:26 |
| === superm1 adjusts the picture he has in his head for how mythbuntu control centre will work to include this functionality | ||

| Daviey | /whois $NICK | 01:27 |
| rogue780 | sweetness | 01:28 |
| rogue780 | well I think I'm gonna buy a new car | 01:28 |
| superm1 | DaveMorris, i told you that mythtv-setup is moved to before reboot right | 01:29 |
| superm1 | so the docs could reflect that | 01:29 |
| rogue780 | my clutch just died...and so I'm gonna fix it and get a new (used) one before more things start breaking :) | 01:29 |
| kruuli | english word for a tv picture jumping all over the place? | 01:30 |
| kruuli | choppy picture? | 01:30 |

| anodesni | Does anyone know how to solve it | 03:29 |
| DaveMorris | xdtv, whats that? | 03:29 |
| anodesni | that's a tv application | 03:29 |
| anodesni | to watch and record tv | 03:29 |
| DaveMorris | ok, and your trying to play them back with mythtv? | 03:29 |
| anodesni | no | 03:30 |
| anodesni | I thougth you guys know how to solve this problem | 03:30 |
| anodesni | And the #ubuntu channel is too busy | 03:30 |
| DaveMorris | I personally don't, I've never used the software | 03:30 |

| DaveMorris | so I connect over gprs on my mobile, up to the net and back down again | 06:31 |
| DaveMorris | sounds expensive | 06:31 |
| Daviey | superm1: where are the 'devscripts' for the meta's? | 06:33 |
| Daviey | Doh! | 06:33 |

| Daviey | imbrandon: dugg :) | 07:59 |
| kruuli | elo | 07:59 |
| kruuli | any tip to reduce flickering | 07:59 |
| Daviey | what sort of flickering? | 08:00 |
| kruuli | well the picture is in 2 layers sometime | 08:03 |
| kruuli | distorted | 08:03 |
| kruuli | and very jumpy | 08:03 |
| Daviey | I'm not certain what you mean; but maybe de-interlacing might help | 08:03 |
| kruuli | i should add that as a filter? | 08:04 |
| Daviey | yeah | 08:04 |
| kruuli | thanks daviey | 08:04 |
| Daviey | what processor does our fe have? | 08:05 |
| Daviey | does *your fe.. | 08:06 |
| kruuli | ive got the EPIA-M card | 08:07 |
| kruuli | VIA C3/ VIA Eden EBGA processor | 08:07 |
| kruuli | 933mhz | 08:08 |
| Daviey | I think you want to use 'Bob' then | 08:14 |
| rogue780 | kruuli, what kind of output are you using? | 08:17 |
| kruuli | none | 08:17 |
| kruuli | streaming to my xbox | 08:18 |
| rogue780 | oh | 08:18 |
| kruuli | using xbmcmythtv | 08:18 |
| Daviey | oh, that changes everything then :) | 08:18 |
| kruuli | it does? :o | 08:18 |
| kruuli | ^^ | 08:18 |
| Daviey | I thought this was problems on a myth based system | 08:18 |
| Daviey | I know nothing about xbmcmythtv | 08:19 |
| kruuli | its a mythbased problem | 08:19 |
| Daviey | One thing i would expect is the hardware is limiting you. It's only a dinky processor | 08:19 |
| kruuli | my recordings are not working | 08:19 |
| kruuli | the cpu got a workload for like 10% when recording | 08:19 |
| Daviey | when you're watching a programme; try 'top' to see what the usage is | 08:19 |
| kruuli | im talking about recordings :) | 08:19 |
| Daviey | (on the xbox frontend) | 08:19 |
| rogue780 | kruuli, can you view the recordings on another system? and is it HD or SD? | 08:19 |
| kruuli | not hd | 08:20 |
| kruuli | im recording them on my pc .. streams thru the network to my xmbcmythtv | 08:20 |
| Daviey | VIA Backend ---> XBox Frontend - right? | 08:20 |
| kruuli | yeah | 08:20 |
| kruuli | and im not talking live tv | 08:20 |
| kruuli | only rec | 08:20 |
| Daviey | See what the 'top' is when watching.. | 08:20 |
| rogue780 | then the xb should be able to handle the video as far as processor is concerned | 08:20 |
| kruuli | i wasnt watching anything when this was recorded | 08:21 |
| Daviey | worth ruling out first imo | 08:21 |
| kruuli | its the recording it self thats broken | 08:21 |
| Daviey | So on your VIA system, it also looks naff? | 08:21 |
| kruuli | yes | 08:22 |
| rogue780 | kruuli, what kind of input cards are you using? and are they correct as far as PAL/NTSC is concerned? | 08:23 |
| kruuli | rogue780 using the pvr 150 thats it and everything is set to PAL | 08:23 |
| Daviey | good signal? | 08:24 |
| kruuli | yes | 08:24 |
| rogue780 | is the frequency setting in mythtv-setup right? | 08:24 |
| kruuli | using a gold layer Supra cable | 08:24 |
| kruuli | yes the picture is as good as it gets when using a analog source | 08:25 |
| rogue780 | can you try the cards in a different system? | 08:26 |
| kruuli | its more interlacing on specific channels .. on some there are none | 08:26 |
| kruuli | rogue780 yeah can try the 150 on this computer | 08:26 |
| rogue780 | have you tried turning on deinterlace? or trying a different interlace scheme? | 08:26 |
| kruuli | but do you think the card itself is broken? | 08:27 |
| kruuli | no i have not | 08:27 |
| kruuli | will try that now | 08:27 |
| kruuli | added de-interlacing to the videofilter option in mythweb | 08:29 |
| kruuli | all i need to do to try it? | 08:29 |
| kruuli | the workload is below 5% when recording | 08:30 |
| rogue780 | try that. also if that doesn't work then in the setup menu of mythtv on your frontend under the tv playback options there is also a deinterlace option | 08:30 |
| kruuli | ok | 08:30 |
| rogue780 | not sure if it is there with xbmcmythtv, but it should be | 08:30 |
| kruuli | xbmcmythtv is just a mplayer with the information that the backend gives out | 08:31 |
| rogue780 | ah | 08:31 |
| rogue780 | well see if that deinterlace option in mythweb helps | 08:31 |
| kruuli | it takes the info from the mysql db and grabber thats it .. uses SMB to stream the file | 08:31 |
| kruuli | yeah recording as we speak :D | 08:32 |
| rogue780 | 'cause that's probably the problem..you're playing interlaced video on a progressive scan display | 08:32 |
| kruuli | hum ok | 08:32 |
| kruuli | why is it using interlaced? | 08:32 |
| rogue780 | television signals are interlaced, and normal televisions interpret interlaced signals...it used to be more efficient back in the day. as technology progressed the standard was not updated for SDTV | 08:33 |
| kruuli | ah ok | 08:33 |
| rogue780 | so the signal is sent as two signals (AFAIK) and the tv puts it back together with the CRT | 08:34 |
| kruuli | so normaly my tv takes care of the "problem" on the fly :> | 08:34 |
| rogue780 | right | 08:34 |
| kruuli | but my tv supports both standards .. should it not adjust? | 08:34 |
| rogue780 | what kind of input are you using into the tv? | 08:35 |
| kruuli | xbox | 08:35 |
| kruuli | scart | 08:35 |
| kruuli | ah but the problem is the 150 card right? its recording in progressive on a interlaced signal? | 08:35 |
| laga | no. | 08:36 |
| rogue780 | right. scart signals aren't normally interlaced...so the tv doesn't know it's interlaced | 08:36 |
| laga | rogue780: scart signals are normally interlaced. | 08:36 |
| laga | it's just composite/s-vhs/RGB. | 08:36 |
| rogue780 | laga, really? I thought they were progressive | 08:36 |
| rogue780 | my bad. | 08:36 |
| laga | the problem would be the tv-out encoder in the xbox, IMHO | 08:36 |
| laga | the tv-out encoder takes a progressive signal and outputs an interlaced one. if they timing/fields of the input video don't exactly match what the tv-out encoder is going to output, you will get artefacts | 08:37 |
| laga | s/they/the/ | 08:38 |
| laga | at least that's how i understand it :) | 08:38 |
| kruuli | laga i can RW my chip between NTSC and PAL | 08:39 |
| kruuli | wich one is to prefer? | 08:40 |
| kruuli | my tv supports both aswell | 08:40 |
| kruuli | chip on the xbox that is | 08:40 |
| laga | always get as close as possible to the input signal | 08:40 |
| laga | eg your recordings | 08:40 |
| kruuli | PAL it is then | 08:42 |
| kruuli | update | 08:57 |
| kruuli | de-interlacing filter made it alot better | 08:57 |
| Daviey | woooo | 08:57 |
| kruuli | but im still experincing some artifacts | 08:57 |
| kruuli | its worse during the commercials for some reason | 08:58 |
| kruuli | should i try | 08:58 |
| kruuli | settings-> tv -> playback enable deinterlace and select kernel-deinterlacer | 08:58 |
| kruuli | that? | 08:58 |
| kruuli | think my system will be up for it? the workload is about 8% when recording and watching | 08:59 |
| kruuli | hum wait a minute | 08:59 |
| kruuli | thats a setting in the mythtv frontend right? | 08:59 |
| kruuli | im not even using that :o | 08:59 |
