[05:43] <superm1_> OpenMediaSupport, I recored a little of Live Earth myself - weighed in at 11.5 gigs for 2 hrs
[05:46] <OpenMediaSupport>  59G Jul  8 15:46 4921_20070707194700.mpg
[05:47] <OpenMediaSupport> 19 Hrs in SD
[05:47] <OpenMediaSupport> Well nearly 20 hours
[01:27] <torkel> does anybody have any idea how to make subtitles work with the Internal videoplayer? mythfrontend -v playback says it loads the .srt file, but nothing is shown
[01:27] <torkel> using mplayer it works, and when viewing the video outside myth using xine it also works
[01:30] <laga> torkel: hit "t"
[01:39] <torkel> laga: thanks, that seemed to do it.
[01:39] <laga> :)
[02:37] <OpenMediaSupport> superm1_:  You around?
[02:39] <OpenMediaSupport> Hmmm probably playing games ;)
[02:40] <laga> probably asleep :)
[02:41] <OpenMediaSupport> Yeah.. Just been watching some of my 67Gb of Live Earth footage. Great stress test having a single 22hr program
[02:41] <laga> nice :)
[02:41] <OpenMediaSupport> Hell yeah.. SD (here in NZ) but good bitrate.
[02:42] <OpenMediaSupport> Wide screen anamorphic DVB-S
[02:43] <OpenMediaSupport> Linkin Park's Set in Japan was awesome. Still haven't reached the end of tha AU/JP stuff yet as we were out last night
[02:43] <laga> nifty
[02:44] <OpenMediaSupport> is it worth the fight ;)
[02:45] <laga> i hope so. i want a nice xmltv grabber ;)
[02:45] <OpenMediaSupport> Ah for DE?
[02:45] <laga> jop
[02:45] <laga> s/jop/yep/

[03:58] <superm1_> OpenMediaSupport, i'm here
[03:58] <superm1_> just woke up
[03:58] <laga> heh
[03:58] <laga> he's just gone to bed
[03:58] <laga> morning superm1_
[03:58] <superm1_> morning laga
[03:59] <laga> i don't drink caffeine either.
[03:59] <superm1_> give it up for health reasons?
[04:00] <laga> kinda. i decided i don't need it.
[04:00] <superm1_> ah
[04:00] <laga> gave up on soda as well
[04:00] <superm1_> i started on giving up soda some 7 or 8 years ago
[04:01] <superm1_> then gave up caffeine all together a year or two ago
[04:01] <laga> i did it.. a few months ago
[04:01] <superm1_> its a bit of rough transition eh?
[04:01] <laga> when i had my finals, i was way too nervous.
[04:01] <laga> heh
[04:02] <laga> yup
[04:02] <laga> especially because a lot of caffeine *can* feel good.
[04:02] <superm1_> well i make *one exception to the rule
[04:02] <superm1_> when you mix in hard liquor
[04:02] <superm1_> but thats rare enough that it is insignificant
[04:03] <laga> yup
[04:03] <laga> or beer and soda
[04:03] <laga> (yes, it's rather popular in germany)
[04:03] <superm1_> mixed together?
[04:03] <superm1_> or just drank together
[04:03] <laga> mixed together
[04:03] <laga> http://www.cc-lautertal.de/ccNews/upload/2_8085169974_mixery_gr.jpg
[04:04] <laga> stuff like mixery is rather popular
[04:04] <superm1_> interesting
[04:06] <laga> i could send ya some if you wanted me to ;)
[04:06] <superm1_> well i'll make a point of it to try some when i make it out towards that side of the water
[04:07] <superm1_> is it popular only in germany?
[04:07] <superm1_> or across other countries near by too
[04:07] <laga> i don't know.
[04:07] <laga> you'll find out :)
[04:08] <superm1_> hopefully some time next year i'll sort out my passport and do some sort of EU trip right after school is finished but before I start a full time job
[04:08] <superm1_> so i'll see
[04:25] <laga> :)
[04:25] <laga> i'll go enjoy my happy meal now...
[04:41] <superm1> laga, okay the mythweb is all cleaned up.  revno 16 of the branch in -fixes is functional and works as expected
[04:42] <superm1> laga, are you a kde or gnome user?  (as a gnome user i just discovered a very nice graphical merging tool)
[07:12] <MrBarby> hi
[07:13] <MrBarby> i have a problem with my myth install - whenever i try and change channel using the programme guide, it goes back to live tv but doesn't change the channel.  It works in browse mode, and will sometime change to a radio channel but will not change off it.  Any ideas?
[07:18] <superm1> hi MrBarby
[07:18] <superm1> are you using an external channel changer?
[07:18] <MrBarby> no
[07:18] <MrBarby> internal pci dvb-t tuner
[07:18] <MrBarby> i'm in the uk
[07:18] <superm1> okay check out /var/log/mythtv/mythbackend.log then
[07:18] <superm1> as you try to change channels
[07:18] <superm1> see if it is having any difficulties there
[07:19] <MrBarby> anything in particular i should be looking out for?
[07:19] <MrBarby> i've had a look previously and nothing has stood out
[07:19] <MrBarby> i'll have another check
[07:20] <MrBarby> i get Preview Error: Previewer file '/var/lib/mythtv/recording
[07:20] <MrBarby> s/1501_20070708143110.mpg' is not valid.
[07:20] <MrBarby> is that related?

[07:22] <MrBarby> that's the only other thing that looks bad
[07:22] <MrBarby> Parser not found for Codec Id: 94212
[07:23] <MrBarby> i don't think that last one happened at the same time as a channel change though
[07:23] <MrBarby> and i can change to these channels fine if i use browse mode when watching live tv
[07:24] <MrBarby> thanks for trying to help btw
[07:51] <superm1> sorry stepped out for a moment
[07:51] <superm1> depending on when that previewer error came up
[07:51] <superm1> that could be it
[07:51] <superm1> is there anything at the end of dmesg that matches the same time this was happening?
[07:52] <superm1> and if you schedule a recording, does the recording not change stations as well?
[08:44] <MrBarby> heh, just been out as well
[08:44] <MrBarby> last time I tried to change channel nothing was loggod
[08:45] <MrBarby> so i doubt it was that error :(
[09:17] <williammanda> hey guys
[09:18] <williammanda> i have two problems.....

[09:38] <racerscl2000> Greetings everyone...
[09:41] <racerscl2000> I was wondering if anyone on here has any problems configuring MythTV Backend on Feisty? Mine istalled the packages and everything but the MySQL tables don't seem to all be there. For example I start up mythtv-setup and after going through the configuration and I do a mythfilldatabase, it says the table mythconverg.videosource table does not exist. Any ideas why?
[09:42] <racerscl2000> Been strugling with just trying to get the darn thing up now for a week... any help at this point would be most graciously aprreciated.
[09:46] <racerscl2000> Could anyone help out on this?
[09:47] <williammanda> I can't help...sorry
[09:49] <racerscl2000> Is there anyone here that had a similar problem when trying to run mythfilldatabase?
[09:53] <MrBarby> i'm no expert... but have you changed any of the ip settings in the various config bits?
[09:53] <MrBarby> i got mythtv set up on feisty just fine
[09:53] <MrBarby> apart from my channel changing issues :(
[09:54] <williammanda> here is the output when watching SDTV....

[09:54] <williammanda> sure sorry
[09:55] <superm1> williammanda, you will want to try adding UseEvents "True"
[09:55] <superm1> to your xorg.conf
[09:55] <MrBarby> have you set the gui and tv to have different sizes?
[09:55] <superm1> and also turning off the vsync settings in nvidia-settings
[09:55] <superm1> As for your deinterlacer: set it to bob
[09:56] <superm1> racerscl2000, are you still here?
[09:56] <superm1> i can give you a hand too if you want
[09:56] <racerscl2000> Oh that would be great!
[09:56] <superm1> MrBarby, can you change settings outside of myth?
[09:56] <superm1> racerscl2000, you might have hit some database corruption
[09:56] <superm1> i've seen it happen a few times
[09:56] <superm1> easiest way to reset the database
[09:57] <racerscl2000> I think so because the database called mythconverg is quite small (few tables).
[09:57] <superm1> sudo apt-get remove --purge mythtv-database mysql-server-5.0 && sudo apt-get install mysql-server-5.0 myth
[09:57] <superm1> and tell it to drop the database when given the option
[09:57] <superm1> and then just reinstall the meta package you originally chose
[09:57] <superm1> 'mythtv' or mythtv-backend-master
[09:58] <superm1> or similar
[09:58] <racerscl2000> OK cool... I am doing that now...
[09:58] <superm1> k :)
[09:58] <superm1> MrBarby, i mean like can you change stations outside of myth
[10:00] <MrBarby> i haven't tried
[10:01] <MrBarby> since i can change stations inside myth if i use up and down
[10:01] <MrBarby> just not through the program guide
[10:01] <MrBarby> how would you change stations outside of myth?
[10:01] <superm1> oh i didnt realize you could change via up and down
[10:02] <superm1> okay, and you have browse mode enabled?
[10:02] <MrBarby> yeah
[10:02] <superm1> well that's particularly odd then..
[10:03] <MrBarby> yeah
[10:03] <MrBarby> i've tried enableing the select to change channel in the guide thing
[10:03] <MrBarby> but it has no effect
[10:03] <superm1> you might want to direct this at #mythtv-users then or the mailing list
[10:04] <MrBarby> i've also tried the version of myth in the feisty repositiories and the mythbuntu ones
[10:04] <MrBarby> where's #mythtv-users?
[10:04] <MrBarby> i've sent a mail to the list already
[10:05] <superm1> just type in your IRC client: "/join #mythtv-users"
[10:05] <superm1> (without the quotes)
[10:06] <superm1> yea the version on the mythbuntu repositories was just built yesterday, so its a brand new checkout
[10:07] <MrBarby> cool, thanks
[10:08] <racerscl2000> superm1- Thanks a lot... I think that did it.
[10:08] <superm1> great racerscl2000 :)
[10:08] <racerscl2000> I am able to see the objects now after configuring them...
[10:08] <racerscl2000> Like the video source and the vcc.
[10:08] <superm1> yea i'm not sure really why the db corruption happens to some people - but it does
[10:08] <racerscl2000> Weird...
[10:09] <superm1> i've only had happen to me once ever in a virtual machine, and could never reproduce it
[10:09] <racerscl2000> Oh one more thing... doe zap2it still work?
[10:09] <superm1> yes
[10:09] <superm1> up through september
[10:09] <racerscl2000> Ok that was what I thought.
[10:09] <racerscl2000> Coolness.
[10:10] <racerscl2000> I am using an Avermedia card and it might not work... bt878 chipset.
[10:10] <racerscl2000> Having issues with picture since last night using xawtv
[10:10] <superm1> yick... framegrabber cards
[10:11] <racerscl2000> Yeah I was going to purchase 2 cards... PVR-150 and pc-HDTV5500
[10:11] <superm1> good choices
[10:11] <racerscl2000> May do that after I configure Myth.
[10:11] <racerscl2000> Does it take long for zap2it to grab information?
[10:12] <superm1> the first time yes
[10:12] <superm1> 5-15 min
[10:12] <racerscl2000> Ok cool.
[10:13] <racerscl2000> Then I am on track... Thanks a huge bunch!
[10:13] <racerscl2000> Your information is very much appreciated.
[10:16] <superm1> not a problem :)
[10:52] <OpenMediaSupport> Morning
[10:52] <superm1> hi OpenMediaSupport
[10:52] <OpenMediaSupport> superm1: How can you work in IT and not drink Caffine ;)
[10:53] <OpenMediaSupport> Well my stress test worked fine. Got 67Gb of Live Earth, Widescreen SD anamorphic off DVB-S
[10:53] <superm1> i gave it up years ago back when i used to run cross country and track, and kept the habit.  if not for x-country/track though i have a feeling i'd be awfully hooked on it still
[10:53] <superm1> wow that's a lot of Live Earth :)
[10:54] <superm1> they ran it for how many hours by you guys?
[10:54] <OpenMediaSupport> 22hrs. By the time I allowed for slack I got close to 22.5 hrs
[10:55] <superm1> wow they must have aired a lot more of it for you then me
[10:55] <superm1> i got one or two songs from most bands
[10:55] <OpenMediaSupport> Basically C4 here in NZ carried  the full international feed, so we started from Sydney+Tokyo and then worked around the globe
[10:58] <superm1> that's awesome
[10:58] <superm1> i wish they did it that way for us too
[10:58] <superm1> so you caught all of linkin park's show then in tokyo?
[10:58] <OpenMediaSupport> Think we got 6 tracks
[10:58] <superm1> yea we had one :(
[10:58] <OpenMediaSupport> I was watching that last night.
[10:59] <OpenMediaSupport> Can you play PAL DVD?
[10:59] <superm1> I don't see why i wouldnt be able to?
[10:59] <superm1> it would just be off a little bit on my tv
[10:59] <OpenMediaSupport> I'll see what I can do
[10:59] <superm1> oh you mean like bring it with to ULive?
[11:00] <OpenMediaSupport> If I have time to author it. I doubt it at this point though. Still trying to work out which bits I want to keep.
[11:00] <superm1> oh just bring the file in native format :)
[11:00] <superm1> i'd watch it on myth anyway :S
[11:00] <OpenMediaSupport> All 67Gb ;)
[11:00] <superm1> haha
[11:04] <superm1> so was this 67gb your first recording using mythbuntu then?
[11:04] <superm1> or was it on a normal myPVR boxen
[11:07] <OpenMediaSupport> Normal myPVR build. I wasn't taking any chances with this one.
[11:11] <superm1> ah
[11:11] <superm1> OpenMediaSupport, what remotes do you guys use in your builds?
[11:11] <superm1> i'm working on lirc stuff today
[11:40] <superm1> whoops.  lost my wifi there.  OpenMediaSupport did you respond?
[11:43] <OpenMediaSupport> http://openmedia.co.nz/openmedia/content/view/27/58/
[11:44] <OpenMediaSupport> normal mce2 compliant remotes usually, Although I also have some that work with serial lirc
[11:44] <superm1> okay
[11:44] <superm1> well my plan at this point is to have a few supported via installer
[11:44] <superm1> that are mceusb mceusb2
[11:44] <superm1> hauppauge
[11:44] <OpenMediaSupport> By adding the additional key bindings we can make all of the hotkeys on the remote work.
[11:44] <superm1> and then add as people have other ones they want supported
[11:45] <OpenMediaSupport> eg Ctrl+Alt+T jumps to Live TV.
[11:45] <OpenMediaSupport> Ctrl+Alt+V = Videos
[11:45] <OpenMediaSupport> I tried to bring up that we need some standards on the Myth mailing list, but no one seemed to be interested.
[11:46] <superm1> what is the default bind key for that sort of thing?
[11:46] <superm1> (are there any by default)
[11:46] <OpenMediaSupport> There aren't any
[11:46] <superm1> ah okay
[11:46] <superm1> i've never touched those keys on my mceusb2 remote, so wasnt sure :)
[11:47] <OpenMediaSupport> When we first released they wern't mapped and customers were constantly complaining about the "dead" keys
[11:47] <superm1> so in one of your postinst scripts, you bind those keys via a few SQL commands i'd imagine?
[11:47] <OpenMediaSupport> Yup
[11:48] <OpenMediaSupport> Gotta bale. I have a meeting in town. Catch you later
[11:49] <superm1> k cya
[12:06] <williammanda> back.....
[12:06] <williammanda> found out my cpu was dusty...lol
[12:06] <williammanda> cleaned out the dust and the usage went down
[12:06] <superm1> thats good :)
[12:06] <williammanda> :)
[12:07] <williammanda> still need help with lirc though
[12:07] <williammanda> 2007-07-08 18:05:32.665 Using the Qt painter
[12:07] <williammanda> mythtv: could not connect to socket
[12:07] <williammanda> mythtv: Connection refused
[12:07] <williammanda> lirc_init failed for mythtv, see preceding messages
[12:07] <superm1> is lircd running?
[12:07] <williammanda> this is what is on the frontend
[12:07] <williammanda> yes lircd is running
[12:08] <superm1> is it running after the frontend tries to connect then?
[12:08] <williammanda> let me see
[12:12] <williammanda> k
[12:13] <williammanda> it wasn't running before mythtv...
[12:13] <superm1> :)
[12:13] <williammanda> now lircd is running then mythtv
[12:13] <superm1> and then is it running after mythtv tries to connect to it?
[12:13] <williammanda> i don't get that message now but .....
[12:15] <williammanda> the remote still isn't working in myth
[12:15] <williammanda> but i do get responses on irw
[12:15] <williammanda> root@C2D:/home/william# /etc/init.d/lirc restart

[12:15] <superm1> okay then do you have a ~/.lircrc
[12:15] <superm1> and a ~/.mythtv/lircrc
[12:16] <superm1> (look closely at those dots)
[12:16] <williammanda> yes...both
[12:16] <superm1> you will want to check your syntax in ~/.mythtv/lircrc
[12:16] <superm1> and make sure everything looks good
[12:16] <superm1> you can do this using ircat
[12:16] <williammanda> ircat?
[12:17] <superm1> ircat diagnoses a broken .lircrc file
[12:17] <superm1> similar to how irw diagnoses a lircd.conf
[12:17] <superm1> likely you'll use a command like this
[12:17] <superm1> $ircat -c ~/.mythtv/lircrc mythtv
[12:26] <williammanda> myth keeps sqwacking about the blank lines in between each command......
[12:26] <williammanda> strange...this file worked fine before
[12:26] <superm1> well so ircat is telling you whats wrong :)
[12:27] <williammanda> haven't tried that yet
