[02:54] <sceo1> Hey all - I bought a subscription to Pandora, and got the "Desktop App" (it's an AIR app).  I added it successfully to my "media library" menu, but when it starts it's "underneath" my mythfrontend.  I tried devil's pie to try and get it to focus and stay on top of other windows, but it's still underneath.  I can keep fiddling with devil's pie if that's my best option, but didn't know if anyone knew a better solution more readily.
[15:02] <Essobi> Morning.
[15:25] <gbee> how frequently are new 0.21-fixes packages made available and which repo carries the latest?
[15:46] <wombo> Normally weekly on a Friday
[15:46] <wombo> I normally use the PPA, the others used to have occasional hiccups
[15:47] <wombo> gbee; /\
[15:48] <gbee> wombo: ok thanks, using what's in the official repo right now but it's nearly 6 months old
[15:48] <wombo> ahh
[15:49] <wombo> I have found there weekly trunks to be pretty good, I use that now for my production with the graphite these
[15:49] <wombo> these = theme
[15:50] <gbee> looking for -fixes for the production frontend, trunk gets built from source
[15:52] <gbee> I'd still be building -fixes from source but I figured since I've switched that machine to mythbuntu I might as well save myself the effort, it's not as though I need to test patches against 0.21 anymore
[15:52] <wombo> yeah
[15:53] <wombo> I actually built my trunk dev system with the mythbuntu packages
[15:53] <wombo> then removed it
[15:54] <wombo> as all I was modifying was the mythweb bits
[15:54] <wombo> but nothing has been accepted and work got busy so I lost my enthusiasm.
[15:55] <gbee> everyone is just too busy
[15:55] <wombo> yeah thought so
[16:05] <gbee> plus things are always quieter in the spring/summer months, as long as the sun is shining who wants to be stuck behind a monitor in their spare time?
[16:06] <wombo> But its winter here :)
[16:06] <wombo> Look at this article http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=NzM2OA
[16:07] <wombo> maybe in the .23 release
[16:07] <wombo> it should be easier than VDPAU as alot of the supporting infrastructure is there now
[16:07] <gbee> vast majority of developers and contributors are in the Northern hemisphere ;)
[16:08] <gbee> wombo: depends if VA-API exposes everything we want to use in VDPAU, it didn't the last time Isaac looked
[16:09] <wombo> Yeah I saw the stats for the website last night and it was sqewed towards the US massively. Alot more that I expected
[16:09] <wombo> I was actually thinking XvBA, but it looks like the same person has been involved in both XvBA and VA-API
[16:11] <wombo> ahh I see
[16:13] <gbee> VA-API wraps VDPAU, XvBA and Intels stuff, but that's meaningless if it doesn't expose the features we really want to use in vdpau/XvBA, so supporting VA-API might be worthwhile for Intel but whether it saves us supporting multiple APIs is still in question
[16:13] <wombo> ahh ok
[16:14] <wombo> so until it exposes all the required functionality through the one common API set it is of no use other than for intel cards
[16:19] <gbee> aye
[16:20] <gbee> depends if ATi release the specs for XvBA, right now the person who has seen them is the VA-API dev, so we might be stuck with va-api for XvBA
[16:22] <wombo> hope not
[16:22] <wombo> is VA-API open source?
[21:57] <tmetro> Running mythtv-frontend 0.21.0+fixes20789-0ubuntu0+mythbuntu3 on an Ubuntu 9.04 desktop, and I'm seeing an intermittent problem with the front-end becoming unresponsive after selecting "Watch Recording" (presumably attempting to load the show data). I saw this a few weeks ago, but it seemed to go away after the next weekly update. It came back recently and for the past few weeks and has been consistently doing this since. Nothing particularly interes
[23:35] <Seeker`> I keep on getting ac-tex errors from the frontend
[23:35] <Seeker`> any ideas?
[23:49] <Seeker`> the sound going to my AV receiver also keeps on cutting out
[23:49] <Seeker`> it is unbelieveably annoying
