rhpot1991superm1: still getting: 2008-02-16 22:02:48.855 NVP: prebuffering pause03:03
superm1no you're not03:03
rhpot1991heh, if only it was that easy03:04
superm1try changing the deinterlacing settings03:04
superm1they are very different on 0.2103:04
rhpot1991strange, you think that could effect remote recordings and not local ones?03:04
superm1well depending on how close on the gap you are bandwidth wise03:05
superm1maybe?03:05
superm1at very worst it doesnt hurt to mess with it a little bit03:05
superm1and xperiment03:05
rhpot1991hmmm, any idea where they are located at now, can't seem to find any options under playback03:07
superm1yeah they're still there03:11
superm1same place as before03:11
superm1just pick the option for the resolution you are working with03:11
superm1you can change a lot of other stuff there too03:12
superm1that would affect it03:12
rhpot1991you lie, it used to be on the first page of playback03:12
rhpot1991ah here it is03:13
rhpot1991this screen confuses me03:13
rhpot1991whats the purpose of this multi rez stuff now03:17
rhpot1991use one for SD one for HD?03:17
rhpot1991by default its listing 5, and my recordings can fall under any of those03:18
rhpot1991s/5/3/03:19
tgm4883_laptopkeescook, ping03:19
rhpot1991forced XvMC and its even skippier03:20
rhpot1991tgm4883_laptop: are you off your roof yet?03:20
tgm4883_laptopyes03:21
rhpot1991I'd be afraid of losing my laptop doing something like that03:21
tgm4883_laptopeh, it's only like a 40 foot drop03:22
tgm4883_laptopjust dont drop the laptop03:22
darthanubisI can't seem to find mediabunt's hardy repo03:25
darthanubisI'm compiling ffmpeg now03:25
superm1darthanubis, turn it on in mcc03:25
superm1it does it all for you...03:25
darthanubishmm03:25
darthanubisthought I did that03:26
* darthanubis checking03:26
rhpot1991superm1: deinterlacing isn't helping at all, I've tried 3/4 of them and they all do the same03:26
rhpot1991nfs share fixed it originally, so it shouldn't be a bandwidth issue03:27
superm1you can change if it plays from the backend or nfs03:28
superm1on that page too03:28
rhpot1991"always stream from backend"?03:28
darthanubisyes ffmpeg is checked as enable03:28
superm1rhpot1991, yeah you can change that03:28
rhpot1991"always stream recordings from backend" doesn't do what you think03:29
darthanubishowever that did not prevent it from failing to transcode to xvid, from nuvexport from cli03:29
superm1darthanubis, so then you have an ffmpeg from medibuntu?03:29
rhpot1991thats if you have recordings locally and on the other backend03:29
rhpot1991then it will get them from there instead of locally03:29
superm1rhpot1991, you sure?03:29
superm1why would someone have such a thing setup03:29
rhpot1991reading the description03:29
darthanubisnot sure where it was from, unless it was left over from the gutsy upgrade, which did have ffmpeg from mediabuntu, cvs 3.0 version03:29
rhpot1991"enable this setting if you want mythtv to always stream files from a remote backend instead of directly reading a recording file if it is accessible locally"03:29
superm1apt-cache policy ffmpeg03:29
superm1rhpot1991, but that ignores nfs03:30
superm1whether its considered "locally"03:30
rhpot1991thats off by default03:30
darthanubisInstalled: 3:0.cvs20070307-5ubuntu603:30
superm1hmm03:30
rhpot1991turning it in would say hey ignore this nfs share (which I currently don't have) and get them from the backend instead03:30
superm1darthanubis,      3:0.cvs20070307-5ubuntu4+medibuntu3 003:30
superm1is the medibuntu latest one03:31
darthanubishmph03:31
rhpot1991superm1: gonna go watch a recording in the living room, I'll be back in about 40 mins, can mess more then03:31
superm1darthanubis, so it looks like the medibuntu guys dont have it updated03:31
superm1darthanubis, you can go into apt and force the lower versin03:31
darthanubisI wonder which lower version I'd end up with?03:32
darthanubisdoubt the mediaubuntu one, if I don't have those repos?03:32
superm1put the repo in03:32
superm1and then you will be able to03:33
darthanubisI'd feel dirty having gutsy repos in my hardy03:33
superm1no put the hardy medibuntu in03:33
superm1that's the one mcc activates03:33
darthanubisI can't find that repo03:33
darthanubiswhen I tried, i got a 404 error03:34
superm1hm?03:34
superm1well let me see which one i have03:34
superm1deb http://packages.medibuntu.org/ hardy free non-free03:34
darthanubisyeah, mcc did no such thing for me03:34
superm1odd..03:35
darthanubiswell downgraded to the mediabuntu ffmpeg, now ubuntu wants to update it , but it should work, I locked the version03:39
superm1i'm not sure who the medibuntu guys are, but maybe want to ask them to update it to be a later version than the hardy verison03:41
superm1so you dont run through having to lock it03:41
darthanubisk03:43

frank23I have downloaded a x264 video 1920x1080 that is choppy because the cpu can't keep up. I have a AMD Athlon64 3200+ Any ideas how to get better performance? I tried mplayer and xine and get the same result.03:56
darthanubisI got the one I built from source transcoding now04:25
darthanubissweet04:25
darthanubislooks like it may be slower than mencoder04:26
darthanubisthis is all so fascinating04:26
darthanubisI need more processors now04:27
rhpot1991superm1: any other bright ideas?04:28
npurcifuli have a question about the hdhomerun, if i wanted to hook it directly to my computer i would need a crossover cable right04:28

superm1keescook, i think he had something to ask regarding us-tx04:51
superm1but i dont know what04:51
tgm4883_laptopkeescook, us-tx is your mirror right?04:52
* keescook check my server04:52
keescookyeah04:52
keescookthings look okay at a first-glance04:52
tgm4883_laptopit's not in the database, so what is the bandwidth limits on it so we can re add it04:52
keescookah!  My monthly bandwidth limit is 1TB04:53
keescookor rather, 1000 GB/mon04:53
tgm4883_laptopk04:53
tgm4883_laptopsuperm1, want to add that?  Or should i risk fubaring the db up04:55
superm1tgm4883_laptop, just do it through the web interface04:56
superm1shouldnt have too much trouble messing things up there04:56
tgm4883_laptopyea i'm looking at it in the drupal db module, but can't see any add functions04:56
superm1well if you can't do it via the web if, then you'll have to do it cmd line - remember i dont have access :)04:57
superm1but i'm pretty sure you can do it in the webif04:57
superm1adding a row etc04:57
* tgm4883_laptop doesn't have web server access either04:57
superm1no i mean right in the db module04:57
tgm4883_laptopah, i can do a query04:58
superm1yeah there you go04:59
darthanubisany of you guys bother with the -rt kernel?05:12

Gringo_My hauppage PVR-150 remote is a bit unresponsive, so i did 'irw' on the command line and I noticed that sometimes a keypress gets registered twice, sometimes once. I'm guessing it's related to the unresponsive keys/missed keys that I'm experiencing in the frontend. lircd.conf documentation doesn't appear to be very good. Any ideas?17:34
darthanubisit just seems to be that way17:44
darthanubisI have the same card/remote17:44
Gringo_darthanubis: really? damn, that sucks17:49
Gringo_have you ever tried it in windows?17:50
darthanubisnever17:50
Gringo_i haven't... if it has the same problem on windows, it's probably a hardware issue17:50
darthanubisI'm thinking it isa hw issue17:50
darthanubisjust a crappy remote17:50
darthanubisbut it stillgets the job done in myth17:51
darthanubisdepends on how you podition your ir recieveer, and type of batteries used17:51
darthanubisand ambient light condidtions17:51
darthanubis;)17:51
Gringo_oh, so it improves if you turn the lights off?17:51
Gringo_i'll try that ;)17:52
Gringo_nah, still misses the occasional key17:52
Gringo_have you tried any other remotes with Lirc?17:53
darthanubisToday we are introducing second Mythbuntu 8.04 alpha image.17:54
darthanubisno17:54
darthanubisChanges from alpha 1: Rudimentary transmitter selection support is available for all devices but the PVR-150; include support for lircrc files that are generated to ease the editting process; include support for lircd.conf files to organize lircd.conf; DKMS support;17:55
darthanubishttp://distrowatch.com/?newsid=0475417:55
Gringo_cool17:56
Gringo_so Lirc has been improved, except when you've got a PVR150 :D doh17:57
tarvidinstalled mythtv and I am stick with no video source17:58

tarvidno particular urge to install xfce17:59
tarviddo I have a choice?18:00
darthanubisyes18:02
darthanubisthere is always choice18:02
darthanubisyou have to add a video source, see the mythtv wiki18:02
darthanubisschedules direct18:02
Gringo_darthanubis: is it possible to use mythbuntu without keyboard/mouse?18:03
Gringo_because i still need a keyboard to shut down the pc, for example....18:03
darthanubisyes18:03
darthanubisI use only my remote once I start the frontend18:03
darthanubislook up info onthe mythwelcome screen18:04
Gringo_okay18:04
darthanubisyou can setup power up and shutdown options in the backend, then you the remotes power button18:04
darthanubisI don't like that, as my BE is my desktop18:05
Gringo_backend and frontend is the same PC here, i use mythbuntu as a hard disk recorder in the living room18:05
