foxbuntusender, it can be done with transcoding as well, however mythexport is a better way of handling your need00:00
foxbuntusender, I dont know the specifics on how to configure it, but you can try to catch rhpot1991 when he is around, he can help you with it00:00
senderfoxbuntu: sounds good, i'll look into it00:01
senderanysuggestions in how to configure export to convert to divx or similar? :)00:01
foxbuntusender, no sorry.00:02
senderfoxbuntu: thanx so much01:37
senderit's starting to work for me01:38
sendercan't find a way to set a specific user job to always run and cancel the commercial detection and transcoding...01:44
senderrhpot1991 can i ask you a question about mythexport?01:54
senderrhpot1991: i'm getting the ERROR: AtomicParsley ... FAILED at line 555 in /usr/bin/mythexport-daemon error...01:57
_Speedy2kI would like to know if someone here have any info on how -to make vaapi work on mythbuntu ?? I have a FitPC2 here with a this CPU:Intel Atom Z530 1.6GHz and this video card:Intel GMA500 graphics acceleration02:32
_Speedy2kFull hardware video acceleration of H.264, MPEG2, VC1, and WMV902:32
_Speedy2ki would like to know if it is possible to make it work good with mythbuntu ?02:33
rhpot1991sender: odds are your ffmpeg line is failing, enable debugging and run the ffmpeg line by hand to see whast going on?03:06
senderrhpot1991: the basic: ffmpeg -i <input> -ab 160 -b 1200 <outpt> runs ok03:09
senderthat's what i have under custom03:09
rhpot1991sender: pastebin some logs03:09
rhpot1991whats your output format, perhaps its something that AP doesn't like, I have a bug on that03:09

senderbackend log just tells job started - finished03:13
rhpot1991sender: ya that is how it works, that creates an entry in the db and then the daemon picks it up and runs with it03:15
rhpot1991well I see one issues, you have extension=avi or something in your config?03:15
senderyes03:15
sendercorrect03:15
rhpot1991need a . in there, so .avi, your files don't have any dots in them: /var/lib/mythtv/mythexport/NGC-World_s_most_dangerous_drug--20100126233900avi03:15
senderi'm trying to convert mpeg2 to divx/xvid03:15
* rhpot1991 checks his config03:15
senderah, nice catch03:16
rhpot1991run this: nice -n19 ffmpeg -i /var/lib/mythtv/recordings/1020_20100126233900.mpg -ab 160 -b 1200 '/var/lib/mythtv/mythexport/NGC-World_s_most_dangerous_drug--20100126233900.avi03:16
rhpot1991nd let it finish03:16
rhpot1991claims its failing (without the dot), lets see what happens if we fix that if there is another issue or whatnot03:17
rhpot1991sender: will prob take a little bit so let it run  and see what happens03:17
rhpot1991if that completes ok, then fix the dot in your config, then restart mythexport (sudo /etc/init.d/mythexport restart), and try it again03:18
senderah now it's running, great03:18
sendera restar is needed after a config change?03:18
senderrhpot1991: can you help me out with a config that gives me reasonable xvid or divx, while keeping width and height the same as original (settings in export seems to require hardcoded w/h)?03:21
rhpot1991sender: if you run ffmpeg -i <file> it should tell you the information on it03:23
rhpot1991currently there is no way to avoid specifying the size, this comes from the project developing around mobile devices03:24
senderok understandable, and if don't specify width and height, like in the command w'r using now?03:25
LonEaglehmm, hulu desktop wants 2 gigs of ram?03:26
senderrhpot1991: http://pastebin.com/m23733c4c03:26
Zinn[pastebin.com] pastebin - collaborative debugging tool03:26
senderrhpot1991: there seems to be no output file03:27
rhpot1991sender: I'm not sure what happens, it might assume 003:29
rhpot1991check with ffmpeg on that one03:29
senderok, thanx, running with -b 0 now03:30
rhpot1991you could use what the source has just to see what happens: 544x57603:30
senderrhpot1991: ok great, there is output now03:34
senderlooks quite bad03:35
senderw/h are the same03:35
senderah and no sound03:35
senderit's a step, now to tweak this into something reasonable..03:36
rhpot1991no sound, prob because you don't have an -ac (audio codec) in here03:38
rhpot1991sender: let me recommend something like this as a good starting base: -y -acodec libfaac -ab 192kb -vcodec xvid -b 600kb -mbd 2 -flags +4mv+aic -trellis 2 -cmp 2 -subcmp 2 -s 240x320 -aspect 4:303:39
senderrhpot1991: thanx!03:40
senderah, i miss something03:41
senderUnknown encoder 'xvid'03:41
senderah changing this with libxvid it seems to work03:44
rhpot1991ya sorry03:51
rhpot1991made that up :)03:51
puffHi... I have a mythbuntu box.  Currently I have it set to use the LCd screen instead of the s-video out, because I lugged it up from my Tv room to work on it.03:54
puffI now have it working and happy and I want to get it b ack to u sing the s-video out.  However, I cannot find my  notes from when I changed it to use the LCd.03:54
senderrhpot1991: :)04:05

senderis there sth like libmp3 i should use?04:05
LonEagleanyone in here use hulu desktop?04:30
LonEaglei'm trying to decide if it has a limitless appetite for cpu or whether i could upgrade out of this 99% cpu usage.04:31
rhpot1991LonEagle: I tried it and it sucked04:36

lieuwehi, i'm trying to set up mythtv for use with my zolid hybrid tv tuner card, but when i select live-tv it goes to 'please wait' for a few secs and then goes back to the main screen, i'm a bit of a linux newb, so you might need to explain some things to me...17:10
lieuweoh, fyi the manufacturer of the tuner doesn't seem to have a website, and the box doesn't tell me much either(but hey, twas only €10)17:14

tgm4883thats what I am seeing17:41
lieuwetgm4883: eh, not on purpose, but i'm a bit stumped on how to enter the chanel frewuencys, so that might be the problem...17:46
tgm4883lieuwe, where are you located?17:46
lieuwetgm4883: netherlands, alkmaar17:46
tgm4883hmm17:46
tgm4883I'm not sure then, I haven't scanned for channels in a long time17:47
lieuwetgm4883: scanning doesn't work but i have a list of channels, lemme just find the linky17:47
lieuwetgm4883: http://service.upc.nl/frequentie-overzicht-radio-tv-Alkmaar/ it's in dutch, it's name chanel frequency for the left col, the right is radio...17:48

tgm4883yes17:49
lieuwetgm4883: ah, ok, that makes sense, anyhow, i only tried entering the frequency, as 11- doesn't sound like something it could find...17:50
tgm4883well it looks like it is trying to tune to channel 216 rather than 1117:50
tgm4883I'm not sure how to set that up, you could check the installation guide, wait here for someone with that knowledge, or ask in #mythtv-users17:51
lieuwetgm4883: it said i could enter the channel in khz, so i did, i'll just try 1117:51
lieuwenope, i'll just hop over to #mythtv-users then17:55
