[00:29] <Xenocide> Hey guys, I have a scientific atlanta 4250hdc hooked up via firewire, I am getting an error of "partial lock" when I go to view live tv
[00:31] <Xenocide> anyone??'
[00:55] <Xenocide> no one can help?
[01:04] <mindoms> Xenocide: maybe try at #mythtv-users
[02:07] <Xenocide> anyone familir with mythchanger??
[02:53] <Xenocide> anyone familiar with IR blaster setups?
[03:09] <Cyber-Dogg> howdy
[03:10] <Cyber-Dogg> I was curious if anyone had any info on why when I'm running mythbuntu, mythtv and xorg are both consuming a TON of processor
[03:41] <rhpot1991> !mysql
[03:41] <Zinn> If you are having problems connecting to your mysql database, you can perform the following to reconfigure it: 1. sudo dpkg-reconfigure mysql-server-5.0 (pay attention to the root password you set, you will need it for the next step) 2. sudo dpkg-reconfigure mythtv-database 3. sudo dpkg-reconfigure mythtv-common
[04:33] <foxbuntu> Cyber-Dogg, nvidia video card?
[04:33] <Cyber-Dogg> yes
[04:33] <Cyber-Dogg> 8200 on board
[04:33] <Cyber-Dogg> I tried to the use events
[04:33] <Cyber-Dogg> I've tried the modeline
[04:34] <Cyber-Dogg> I'm being told in mythtv-users to try mythtv trunk so I can use vdpau
[04:34] <Cyber-Dogg> thouths?
[04:34] <foxbuntu> Cyber-Dogg, you need to have useevents enabled and vsync disabled
[04:35] <foxbuntu> and enabling UseEvents will require a restart of xorg
[04:37] <foxbuntu> this is the line you have in your xorg.conf correct?
[04:37] <foxbuntu> Option         "UseEvents" "True"
[04:37] <Cyber-Dogg> yes
[04:37] <foxbuntu> k
[04:37] <Cyber-Dogg> well option "useevents" "1"
[04:37] <foxbuntu> disable vsync options in nvidia-settings
[04:37] <foxbuntu> its a bool value
[04:37] <Cyber-Dogg> ok, I didn't do that yet
[04:37] <foxbuntu> it has to be True
[04:37] <foxbuntu> not 1
[04:38] <Cyber-Dogg> ok... mythbuntu defaulted it to 1
[04:38] <foxbuntu> from where?
[04:38] <Cyber-Dogg> from where?
[04:38] <Cyber-Dogg> I don't know what you mean
[04:38] <Cyber-Dogg> i installed mythbuntu... it was setup that way :-)
[04:38] <foxbuntu> I dont think we modify that
[04:38] <foxbuntu> hrm
[04:39] <foxbuntu> I wonder where that setting came from
[04:39] <foxbuntu> its a bug though
[04:39] <foxbuntu> guess I should look into that :)
[04:40] <Cyber-Dogg> ok...
[04:40] <Cyber-Dogg> so let me change that
[04:40] <Cyber-Dogg> where is the vsynv option?
[04:40] <Cyber-Dogg> I know in nvidia-settings
[04:40] <Cyber-Dogg> but which page
[04:41] <Cyber-Dogg> I ask because I'm not seeing it
[04:42] <Cyber-Dogg> is it sync to vblank?
[04:43] <foxbuntu> yea
[04:43] <Cyber-Dogg> BTW... the nologo option is defaulted to a 1 as well
[04:43] <Cyber-Dogg> isn't that bool?
[04:44] <Cyber-Dogg> ok, I changed them both
[04:44] <Cyber-Dogg> how do I just restart x without a full reboot?
[04:45] <Cyber-Dogg> not sure how to in ubuntu
[04:46] <foxbuntu> Cyber-Dogg, I just asked our expert and they changed the driver I think, its not required to be bool anymore
[04:46] <Cyber-Dogg> ok
[04:46] <foxbuntu> Cyber-Dogg, anyhow to answer your question: sudo /etc/init,d/gdm restart
[04:46] <foxbuntu> Cyber-Dogg, anyhow to answer your question: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart
[04:46] <foxbuntu> . not ,
[04:47] <Cyber-Dogg> k
[04:47] <Cyber-Dogg> I'm a gentoo guy... :-)
[04:48] <Cyber-Dogg> but I couldn't get the sound to work in gentoo with X
[04:49] <Cyber-Dogg> and I built this box to be a mythbox... so I don't care what it runs in
[04:49] <foxbuntu> Cyber-Dogg, I was a gentoo guy a looooooong time ago
[04:49] <Cyber-Dogg> I just want it to work... and ubuntu does that very well
[04:49] <foxbuntu> that it does
[04:49] <Cyber-Dogg> so are you a dev?
[04:49] <Cyber-Dogg> for mythbuntu I mean
[04:50] <foxbuntu> yes
[04:50] <foxbuntu> one of the core
[04:50] <foxbuntu> been with the project since inception
[04:51] <Cyber-Dogg> well thank you for your work :D
[04:51] <foxbuntu> thanks
[04:51] <Cyber-Dogg> ok, back up
[04:51] <Cyber-Dogg> checking top now
[04:52] <Cyber-Dogg> xorg looks better < 10% now
[04:52] <Cyber-Dogg> mythfrontend.real though is still at like 50%
[04:52] <Cyber-Dogg> does that seem reasonable?
[05:00] <Cyber-Dogg> I don't know what it's responsible for :-)
[20:40] <sebrock> is MythExport even remotely working?
[20:46] <sebrock> omg the bugs in this
[21:02] <superm1> rhpot1991, ^
[21:02] <superm1> sebrock, what's wrong?
[21:03] <rhpot1991> sebrock: what issues you having?
[21:13] <sebrock> nah I fixed it.
[21:13] <sebrock> rhpot1991, I had a really bad day. Don't take it personal :)
[21:13] <rhpot1991> sebrock: well if its a bug let me know and I can fix it up
[21:13] <rhpot1991> sebrock: no problem, it has its fair share of duct tape fixes going on
[21:13] <sebrock> rhpot1991, however if there is one thing lacking it is proper documentation.
[21:14] <rhpot1991> sebrock: wiki is where I try to do it, I fail at english and relating words quite often though
[21:14] <rhpot1991> sebrock: if you have any good ideas I'm all ears
[21:14] <sebrock> the ubuntu community page says very little and never goes into the important details. I still don't understand the differance of full and on-the-go
[21:15] <sebrock> also the integration with mythimport should be more seamless
[21:16] <rhpot1991> you mean on-the-go, full vs lightweight right?
[21:17] <rhpot1991> the idea here is that you are using mythexport on your master backend
[21:17] <rhpot1991> and mythimport on a detached backend, that you say take with you in a boat
[21:18] <sebrock> I've got the separate frontend/backend
[21:18] <sebrock> I might have stumbled on a bug now... wait I will investigate
[21:18] <rhpot1991> so you use mythexport to prepare your files and copy them over to the detached backend, and use mythimport to bring them in, for this you would use the full featured version
[21:18] <sebrock> Ok, I would only like to use it to automatically transfer to my Iphone on sync
[21:18] <sebrock> ie iTunes feed
[21:19] <rhpot1991> then you can do a lightweight on-the-go export, which will just give you a bunch of video files and an xml file that you can open with firefox or whatever you want
[21:19] <rhpot1991> sebrock: you don't want on-the-go then
[21:19] <rhpot1991> just do an export, and use the rss feed
[21:19] <rhpot1991> register it as a podcast in itunes, and itunes will automagically pull them down for you
[21:19] <sebrock> yes, I have a user job added to mythweb ow
[21:19] <sebrock> It did work once, now it stopped
[21:19] <sebrock> I will check
[21:19] <rhpot1991> if you use http://localhost/mythexport
[21:20] <rhpot1991> it will create the user job for you from there
[21:20] <sebrock> 0	7889	jobqueue	5	0	2009-08-27 22:19:58	server	Job "" Finished	Finished "" for "Family guy" recorded from channel 1011 at Wed Aug 26 20:30:00 2009.
[21:20] <sebrock> 1	7888	jobqueue	5	0	2009-08-27 22:19:58	server	Job "" Started	Started "" for "Family guy" recorded from channel 1011 at Wed Aug 26 20:30:00 2009
[21:20] <sebrock> It's all done that
[21:20] <rhpot1991> well the job in your backend will run and be done
[21:21] <sebrock> it isnt
[21:21] <sebrock> Look, first time it worked
[21:21] <rhpot1991> all that does is create an export job for the the mythexport-daemon
[21:21] <sebrock> then I go to File maintenance and delete the exportet file
[21:21] <sebrock> I changed the configuration to a higher bitrate
[21:22] <sebrock> If I update job or file maintenace the files are back
[21:22] <sebrock> deleted on disk though
[21:23] <rhpot1991> ok so you exported one, and it worked, but then you deleted and the file is gone from disk but the rssfeed/etc still thinks it exists?
[21:24] <sebrock> yes, If I press Delete it deletes from exported list and from RSS. I update the page and they are back
[21:24] <rhpot1991> update=refresh?
[21:24] <sebrock> yes reload
[21:25] <rhpot1991> hit ctrl+shift+r while on the page
[21:26] <sebrock> Im on a mac, I restarted the daemon and now it's permanently gone
[21:26] <sebrock> I will redo the whole process
[21:26] <rhpot1991> ok, venturing something went wrong then and the daemon died or got hung
[21:26] <rhpot1991> look at /var/log/mythtv/mythexport.log (I think thats the location)
[21:26] <rhpot1991> look for hints, if there isn't much good in there we can turn on debugging
[21:27] <sebrock> another thing is, which char encoding is used for metadata? Swedish characters are not working
[21:28] <rhpot1991> metadata in where, the .mp4 file thats exported?
[21:28] <sebrock> yes
[21:28] <rhpot1991> well I pull that data right from your mythconverg db, and feed it to atomicparsley
[21:28] <rhpot1991> so if there is an issue there its gonna be with AP
[21:28] <sebrock> In iTunes swedish/nordic characters are displayed wrong. Its correct in browser though
[21:29] <sebrock> and in DB
[21:29] <rhpot1991> prob an issue with atomic parsley then
[21:29] <rhpot1991> you can 1. submit a bug to that project
[21:30] <rhpot1991> 2. let me know if you have any bright ideas for dealing with it
[21:30] <sebrock> I'll check it out.
[21:31] <sebrock> btw, adding a job from mythweb... will that be listed in mythexport?
[21:31] <rhpot1991> sebrock: when naming a config in mythexport don't use spaces
[21:31] <sebrock> I simply named it iPhone
[21:31] <rhpot1991> sebrock: yes it should pull the names from the db, so hopefully you don't overwrite anything usefull
[21:32] <sebrock> it should be listed in mythexport?
[21:32] <sebrock> user job is: mythexport_addjob starttime=%STARTTIME% chanid=%CHANID% config=iPhone
[21:33] <rhpot1991> well mythexport will list the name of the 4 available user jobs
[21:33] <rhpot1991> and you choose which slot you want to use
[21:33] <rhpot1991> not sure we are on the same page here
[21:34] <sebrock> No I mean when a user job is running
[21:34] <rhpot1991> I'm talking about whats listed on http://localhost/mythexport/userjob.cgi
[21:34] <rhpot1991> oh, no
[21:34] <rhpot1991> 2 different queues
[21:34] <sebrock> alright
[21:34] <rhpot1991> so if you look on your backend, or in mythweb you can see mythtv's queue
[21:34] <sebrock> I think the metadata ecoding comes from ffmpeg?
[21:34] <sebrock> the -description flag
[21:35] <sebrock> no you are right its atomicparsley
[21:35] <rhpot1991> ya
[21:35] <rhpot1991> you can do a test if the -description flag works better, that can be an option
[21:36] <sebrock> do you know if its possible to change charset with AtomicParlsey?
[21:36] <rhpot1991> never looked into it sorry
[21:40] <rhpot1991> hmmm some of these screen shots are out of date
[22:03] <sebrock> rhpot1991, the name of the file created also lacks swedish chars
[22:04] <sebrock> shown as an underscore
[22:04] <rhpot1991> sebrock: ohhhh interesting
[22:04] <sebrock> atomicparsley should use unicode-8... strange
[22:04] <rhpot1991> wonder if my perl regex is stripping it out
[22:04] <sebrock> conversion must go wrong somewhere
[22:04] <sebrock> sounds like it
[22:07] <rhpot1991> # replace non-word characters in title with underscores
[22:07] <rhpot1991> my $title_old = $title;
[22:07] <rhpot1991> $title =~ s/\W+/_/g;
[22:08] <sebrock> so we swedes use non-word chars :P
[22:09] <sebrock> also get this before every export: August 27 22:51:45 server /usr/bin/mythexport-daemon[32039]: ERROR: cannot remove /var/Files/500GB/recordings/mythexport/TV6-Family_guy-Del_67_s_song_5-20090826203000.mp4.tmp. at line 535 in /usr/bin/mythexport-daemon
[22:10] <rhpot1991> sebrock: is that a dual pass, or h264?
[22:11] <sebrock> mpeg4
[22:12] <rhpot1991> is it leaving random .tmp files behind?
[22:13] <sebrock> no not at all
[22:13] <sebrock> just the mp4 file
[22:13] <sebrock> no biggie, just log output
[22:14] <sebrock> Quality is awful though
[22:14] <rhpot1991> what settings are you using?
[22:15] <rhpot1991> and what kinda ipod
[22:15] <sebrock> I have an iphone which has 480x320
[22:16] <sebrock> so I mage a custom config
[22:16] <rhpot1991> what bitrates?
[22:16] <sebrock> 1500
[22:16] <rhpot1991> did you put a kb after that?
[22:16] <sebrock> mm no
[22:16] <rhpot1991> do that
[22:16] <rhpot1991> for the audio and video
[22:16] <rhpot1991> otherwise its just 1500b
[22:16] <rhpot1991> which is terrible :)
[22:17] <rhpot1991> I do 600kb for normal and 1200kb for high
[22:17] <rhpot1991> and you should be able to just use the ipod config, but in the end its all just a bunch of ffmpeg options
[22:18] <sebrock> I see now
[22:18] <sebrock> you fix the regexp?
[22:19] <rhpot1991> sebrock: not really sure what the fix is at this point
[22:19] <rhpot1991> I could just not regex it, but then itunes gets mad about some chars
[22:20] <rhpot1991> and it was a whole readability thing
[22:20] <sebrock> I'm talking about the filename now not metadata
[22:20] <rhpot1991> I could do something like use mythrename on them, I'll have to think about it
[22:20] <rhpot1991> well the regex is prob the source of both issues I think
[22:20] <sebrock> Yes, that one works
[22:21] <sebrock> According to AtomicParlsey they use unicode-8
[22:21] <rhpot1991> which should work
[22:21] <sebrock> so it *should* work
[22:21] <rhpot1991> \w matches [a-zA-Z0-9]
[22:21] <sebrock> Don't know why really. Some conversion
[22:21] <rhpot1991> which is the issue
[22:21] <rhpot1991> so \W means anything not in those
[22:21] <rhpot1991> hence your chars
[22:21] <sebrock> right
[22:22] <sebrock> oh wait, you still on the filename now?
[22:22] <sebrock> that last part was meant for metadata
[22:25] <rhpot1991> well the same issue is effecting both I believe
[22:26] <rhpot1991> you can test it if you want, go find anywhere it does s/\W+\ and replace that with s/\s+\
[22:26] <rhpot1991> will just replace whitespace instead
[22:26] <rhpot1991> would help if I could type
[22:26] <rhpot1991> replace this: s/\W+/
[22:26] <rhpot1991> with this: s/\s+/
[22:27] <rhpot1991> do you get these characters in your callsigns at all?
[22:27] <rhpot1991> (channelnames)
[22:28] <rhpot1991> heading home, will be a delay till I respond
[22:29] <Xenocide> Hey guys, anyone able to help me with mythchanger, or another script to get channel changing working on my 4250HDC?
[22:49] <superm1> way back when i had hacked some support into one of the firewire scripts but it was hacky so i never submitted it upstream
[22:49] <Xenocide> Hey mario hows it going man
[22:49] <superm1> i'd check with the current upstream stuff in the contrib/ directory on svn.mythtv.org to see if it has support these days for the 4250hdc
[22:49] <superm1> hey what's up dude
[22:49] <Xenocide> think your daily builds have it???
[22:49] <Xenocide> er weekly
[22:49] <Xenocide> i had to use mythprime to even get the box going
[22:50] <superm1> well the contrib directory doesn't get built i dont think
[22:50] <superm1> it's usually a small little c file that's pretty straightforward to compile
[22:50] <superm1> gcc -o blah blah.c etc
[22:50] <Xenocide> hm, i tried majoridiots newest build of his script and i can't get it to work, ill check there though
[22:50] <Xenocide> yea i gotcha
[22:50] <Xenocide> how does the IR blsater work in mythbuntu, i tried going that route ,but after i enabled it in the setup didn't know what to do with it
[22:50] <Xenocide> is that easier, or just try to get it going over firewire?
[22:51] <superm1> firewire is easier/more reliable etc
[22:51] <superm1> i ditched TWC anyway myself though
[22:51] <Xenocide> i have no other option
[22:51] <Xenocide> how do i get this off svn.mythtv.org
[22:52] <Xenocide> trying to find the contrib stuff
[22:53] <superm1> http://svn.mythtv.org/trac/browser/trunk/mythtv/contrib
[22:53] <superm1> look in there
[22:53] <Xenocide> ah i see channel changers
[22:53] <Xenocide> none for mine, but a few other scientific atlantica boxes, I will try them, Thanks
[22:53] <superm1> good luck :)
[22:54] <Xenocide> this is actually the same one i found on ubuntuforums
[22:54] <Xenocide> didn't work for me :(
[22:57] <rhpot1991> sebrock: was thinking on the way home, does it put underscores in place for both the meta data and files names, or just the file names?
[22:57] <superm1> Xenocide, look on the mythtv-users ML for stuff about that box
[22:58] <superm1> if you dont find things, i can try to see if i still have the old HD that had my hacked sa4250ch binary
[22:58] <superm1> it's so disgusting. i can't believe it worked for me for 15 months
[23:00] <sebrock> rhpot1991, underscores is only for filenames. In iTunes (on a mac) metadata is shown as this: "baserad på en klassisk tv-serie, då hans katolska far kommer på besök." Yeah you see where there should be swedish chars
[23:00] <sebrock> but that last one is atomicparsleys fault
[23:01] <rhpot1991> sebrock: and those normally work on itunes right?
[23:02] <sebrock> Yes. Stuff from the Itunes store show with correct formatting
[23:03] <rhpot1991> sebrock: ok, lets do this, I'm kinda busy trying to finish something for the feature freeze, so next week I'll get a test build up on my PPA for you to try out, see if we can't fix those at all
[23:03] <rhpot1991> atomicparsley error might be out of my reach, but I'll have a look and see if there is an update or anything that might help
[23:04] <sebrock> sure thing, I'm going to bed now anyways
[23:04] <rhpot1991> ok sounds good, ping me next week so I don't forget about you
[23:04] <sebrock> MMmmm, I will look into the atomicparsley stuff and maybe file a bug if it's possible
[23:05] <rhpot1991> let me know if you find anything there
[23:05] <sebrock> And you do me... I have a terrible memory sometimes
[23:05] <rhpot1991> heh, ok sounds good
[23:05] <sebrock> sure gnite
[23:05] <rhpot1991> night
