[00:00] <foxbuntu> sender, it can be done with transcoding as well, however mythexport is a better way of handling your need
[00:00] <foxbuntu> sender, 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 it
[00:01] <sender> foxbuntu: sounds good, i'll look into it
[00:01] <sender> anysuggestions in how to configure export to convert to divx or similar? :)
[00:02] <foxbuntu> sender, no sorry.
[01:37] <sender> foxbuntu: thanx so much
[01:38] <sender> it's starting to work for me
[01:44] <sender> can't find a way to set a specific user job to always run and cancel the commercial detection and transcoding...
[01:54] <sender> rhpot1991 can i ask you a question about mythexport?
[01:57] <sender> rhpot1991: i'm getting the ERROR: AtomicParsley ... FAILED at line 555 in /usr/bin/mythexport-daemon error...
[02:32] <_Speedy2k> I 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 acceleration
[02:32] <_Speedy2k> Full hardware video acceleration of H.264, MPEG2, VC1, and WMV9
[02:33] <_Speedy2k> i would like to know if it is possible to make it work good with mythbuntu ?
[03:06] <rhpot1991> sender: odds are your ffmpeg line is failing, enable debugging and run the ffmpeg line by hand to see whast going on?
[03:09] <sender> rhpot1991: the basic: ffmpeg -i <input> -ab 160 -b 1200 <outpt> runs ok
[03:09] <sender> that's what i have under custom
[03:09] <rhpot1991> sender: pastebin some logs
[03:09] <rhpot1991> whats your output format, perhaps its something that AP doesn't like, I have a bug on that
[03:13] <sender> rhpot1991: http://pastebin.com/d6534629a
[03:13] <Zinn> [pastebin.com] pastebin - collaborative debugging tool
[03:13] <sender> backend log just tells job started - finished
[03:15] <rhpot1991> sender: ya that is how it works, that creates an entry in the db and then the daemon picks it up and runs with it
[03:15] <rhpot1991> well I see one issues, you have extension=avi or something in your config?
[03:15] <sender> yes
[03:15] <sender> correct
[03:15] <rhpot1991> need a . in there, so .avi, your files don't have any dots in them: /var/lib/mythtv/mythexport/NGC-World_s_most_dangerous_drug--20100126233900avi
[03:15] <sender> i'm trying to convert mpeg2 to divx/xvid
[03:15]  * rhpot1991 checks his config
[03:16] <sender> ah, nice catch
[03:16] <rhpot1991> run 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.avi
[03:16] <rhpot1991> nd let it finish
[03:17] <rhpot1991> claims its failing (without the dot), lets see what happens if we fix that if there is another issue or whatnot
[03:17] <rhpot1991> sender: will prob take a little bit so let it run  and see what happens
[03:18] <rhpot1991> if that completes ok, then fix the dot in your config, then restart mythexport (sudo /etc/init.d/mythexport restart), and try it again
[03:18] <sender> ah now it's running, great
[03:18] <sender> a restar is needed after a config change?
[03:21] <sender> rhpot1991: 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)?
[03:23] <rhpot1991> sender: if you run ffmpeg -i <file> it should tell you the information on it
[03:24] <rhpot1991> currently there is no way to avoid specifying the size, this comes from the project developing around mobile devices
[03:25] <sender> ok understandable, and if don't specify width and height, like in the command w'r using now?
[03:26] <LonEagle> hmm, hulu desktop wants 2 gigs of ram?
[03:26] <sender> rhpot1991: http://pastebin.com/m23733c4c
[03:26] <Zinn> [pastebin.com] pastebin - collaborative debugging tool
[03:27] <sender> rhpot1991: there seems to be no output file
[03:29] <rhpot1991> sender: I'm not sure what happens, it might assume 0
[03:29] <rhpot1991> check with ffmpeg on that one
[03:30] <sender> ok, thanx, running with -b 0 now
[03:30] <rhpot1991> you could use what the source has just to see what happens: 544x576
[03:34] <sender> rhpot1991: ok great, there is output now
[03:35] <sender> looks quite bad
[03:35] <sender> w/h are the same
[03:35] <sender> ah and no sound
[03:36] <sender> it's a step, now to tweak this into something reasonable..
[03:38] <rhpot1991> no sound, prob because you don't have an -ac (audio codec) in here
[03:39] <rhpot1991> sender: 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 4:3
[03:40] <sender> rhpot1991: thanx!
[03:41] <sender> ah, i miss something
[03:41] <sender> Unknown encoder 'xvid'
[03:44] <sender> ah changing this with libxvid it seems to work
[03:51] <rhpot1991> ya sorry
[03:51] <rhpot1991> made that up :)
[03:54] <puff> Hi... 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] <puff> I 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.
[04:05] <sender> rhpot1991: :)
[04:05] <sender> do you have more ideas? no audio on this one aswell :S
[04:05] <sender> is there sth like libmp3 i should use?
[04:30] <LonEagle> anyone in here use hulu desktop?
[04:31] <LonEagle> i'm trying to decide if it has a limitless appetite for cpu or whether i could upgrade out of this 99% cpu usage.
[04:36] <rhpot1991> LonEagle: I tried it and it sucked
[04:37] <rhpot1991> on a athlon x2 5000+
[04:37] <rhpot1991> I know other people who think its ok though
[05:12] <LonEagle> wonder if it would be any better if i ran hulu in vmware
[05:51] <LonEagle> anyone use myth as an upscaling dvd player?
[06:40] <noaXess> good morning..
[06:40] <noaXess> i can't install mythtv-status.. i get this: mythtv-status: Depends: libmyth-perl but it is not going to be installed
[06:41] <noaXess> then if i try install libmyth-perl i get: libmyth-perl: Depends: libmythtv-perl but it is not going to be installed
[06:41] <noaXess> and then if i try install libmythtv-perl: libmythtv-perl is already the newest version.
[06:51] <LonEagle> did you try it with synaptic?
[08:12] <noaXess> LonEagle: no, it's a kubuntu-desktop.. and i'm remote.. can try kpackagekit
[08:28] <LonEagle> were you doing apt-something?
[08:39] <noaXess> LonEagle: over ssh
[12:55] <ahhughes-myth> just installed chrome using the syn pkg mgr. No idea where it puts the launch icon's. :/
[12:55] <ahhughes-myth> which chrome does nothing either.
[12:56] <ahhughes-myth> so I don't think this is on my $path either.
[13:00] <ahhughes-myth> argh it;s called google-chrome... and it crashes haaahaha
[14:22] <rhpot1991> noaXess: you need to enable the testing ppa
[14:22] <rhpot1991> then sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
[17:10] <lieuwe> hi, 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...
[17:14] <lieuwe> oh, 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)

[17:40] <tgm4883> lieuwe, do you really have a channel 216 set up?
[17:40] <tgm4883> 2010-01-28 18:32:47.661 Channel(/dev/video0) Error: GetCurrentChannelNum(216.00): Failed to find Channel

[17:41] <tgm4883> thats what I am seeing
[17:46] <lieuwe> tgm4883: 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] <tgm4883> lieuwe, where are you located?
[17:46] <lieuwe> tgm4883: netherlands, alkmaar
[17:46] <tgm4883> hmm
[17:47] <tgm4883> I'm not sure then, I haven't scanned for channels in a long time
[17:47] <lieuwe> tgm4883: scanning doesn't work but i have a list of channels, lemme just find the linky
[17:48] <lieuwe> tgm4883: 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...

[17:49] <lieuwe> is zinn a bot?
[17:49] <tgm4883> yes
[17:50] <lieuwe> tgm4883: ah, ok, that makes sense, anyhow, i only tried entering the frequency, as 11- doesn't sound like something it could find...
[17:50] <tgm4883> well it looks like it is trying to tune to channel 216 rather than 11
[17:51] <tgm4883> I'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-users
[17:51] <lieuwe> tgm4883: it said i could enter the channel in khz, so i did, i'll just try 11
[17:55] <lieuwe> nope, i'll just hop over to #mythtv-users then
