[00:03] <tgm4883> how do you determine it is 15% faster?
[00:03] <mrand> release notes?
[00:03] <edomeda> I didn't, myth notes say so. :)
[00:04] <tgm4883> hmm
[00:04] <edomeda> http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Release_Notes_-_0.23
[00:04] <Zinn> [www.mythtv.org] Release Notes - 0.23 - MythTV
[00:04] <tgm4883> not exactly sure what that means
[00:04] <tgm4883> 15% less CPU?
[00:05] <mrand> I would assume so
[00:05] <edomeda> yeah, offloading decoding to hardware decoders and/or better code requires less CPU time
[00:05] <mrand> Or it can process 15% more fps
[00:05] <tgm4883> mrand, decoding, not encoding. Thats why i'm confuxed
[00:07] <edomeda> I haven't checked, but don't some purevideo chips support h264 decoding on the GPU?
[00:09] <edomeda> I'm pretty sure my eeebox ion supports VDPAU, as the mythtv site says another board with atom/ion does.
[00:12] <mrand> google seems to confirm your eee supports VDPAU.
[00:13] <edomeda> yeah, like I said, I spent a few days trying to beat it for cost, space, and power consumption.
[00:14] <edomeda> that said, I've not tested it yet, so maybe there will be something I missed
[00:16] <mrand> edomeda: if I didn't want a HD, or a smaller HD, would there be a better box (with VDPAU + HDMI out)?
[00:16] <mrand> (in your searching)
[00:17] <edomeda> nah, the problem is VDPAU is only on newer nvidia cards, so 9400+ (maybe one or two 8800 IIRC)
[00:18] <edomeda> there are some asus boxes that wouldn't be bad
[00:18] <tgm4883> how did the acer revo compare in your serach?
[00:19] <edomeda> It's the same as the eeebox, spec wise.  But the few reviews I read didn't seem like it was a good as the eeebox

[00:20] <edomeda> dual core atoms with ion is really the best atm
[00:21] <edomeda> from what I've seen, the atom 330 + ion can do two 1080p streams at once
[00:21] <edomeda> and using only 40watts of power (max) is killer.  The box would pay for itself in a matter of months over a typical 350w desktop
[00:22] <mrand> 350 watt?  wow.  My rig is only 120 Watts under medium load.  90 Watts sitting with mythfrontend idle
[00:23] <mrand> (measured).  People tend to grossly overestimate power consumption now-a-days.... and the power supply vendors thank you for it.
[00:23] <mrand> Even still, your point is valid.
[00:23] <edomeda> sure, I just said typical 350w psu
[00:23] <tgm4883> mrand, what did you measure that with?
[00:24] <mrand> I went to my local library and checked out a Kill-A-Watt.
[00:24] <edomeda> but, keep in mind that most PSU are rated at 50-80% capacity, so their rating usually 75-85% means that a 350w PSU running at idle will consume more power then a 150w psu
[00:24] <mrand> Or you can buy them for not very much.  They are on sale regularly.
[00:24] <tgm4883> yea i've been meaning to pick one up
[00:25] <mrand> edomeda: huh?
[00:25] <tgm4883> do libraries usually have them?
[00:25] <mrand> I was surprised to see mine did
[00:25] <mrand> I don't know if most do or not.
[00:25] <mrand> edomeda: oh, I'm sorry, I misread what you said.
[00:25] <edomeda> ok, so if your psu is 350w, that's max rating.  Your computer usually runs at 100-150ws
[00:26] <edomeda> the lower it uses, the more in-efficient the psu is at the conversion
[00:26] <mrand> edomeda: exactly correct
[00:26] <edomeda> I need to test my eeebox for actual usage, I'd not be surprised to see 15 watts idle
[00:27] <tgm4883> mine heats my house. I have cpuburn running on each core 24x7
[00:27] <mrand> lol.  I leave some of my computers on in the office to help heat it in the winter time.
[00:30] <tgm4883> home time
[00:31] <edomeda> well I think the eeebox is really what sealed the deal for me.  It can do it all for a FE, and is the smallest box with best energy usage.
[01:01] <AngryBurrito> Having difficulty getting Mythbuntu 9.10 show my HVR-1250 capture card. Can someone help?
[19:34] <spiffydudex> Hello, I have setup mythbuntu and so far all is working. I have a problem where when I view liveTV the video is mirrored split down the middle of the screen. I installed TVtime and it shows the video properly. Can anyone point me in the right direction to correct this. I am using an Nvidia ION N330 with Happauge 950q
[19:41] <tgm4883> spiffydudex, split left to right, or split top to bottom?
[19:41] <spiffydudex> left to right
[19:44] <tgm4883> spiffydudex, what are you using for your deinterlacer?
[19:45] <spiffydudex> VPDAU, I have used CPU++ and Normal as well, but they both have the same effect
[19:45] <tgm4883> thats not the deinterlacer
[19:45] <spiffydudex> ah, well that may be the problem.
[19:46] <tgm4883> sec

[19:46] <tgm4883> spiffydudex, ^^
[19:48] <rhpot1991> spiffydudex: with the ion platform you should be fine to run the vdpau normal playback profile
[19:49] <rhpot1991> there are some additional tweaks to xorg you can make on the vdpau wiki page
[19:49] <spiffydudex> yeah, that is what I originally had it set to.
[19:49] <rhpot1991> !vdpau | spiffydudex
[19:49] <Zinn> spiffydudex: http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/VDPAU
[19:49] <rhpot1991> it should also help to update to our auto builds and get the latest nvidia driver from there
[19:51] <spiffydudex> Ok, I'm just using the stable build 0.22.
[19:52] <tgm4883> spiffydudex, if you haven't enabled auto-builds, then no you are not
[19:52] <tgm4883> you would be using an RC
[19:52] <spiffydudex> its the one that came with the 9.10 mythbuntu release.
[19:52] <tgm4883> case in point
[19:52] <spiffydudex> ok lol
[19:52] <tgm4883> 9.10 shipped with a RC
[19:53] <spiffydudex> ah that would explain alot then
[19:53] <tgm4883> even if it didn't I would recommend auto-builds
[19:54] <mrand> spiffydudex: mythtv undergoes pretty rapid development, so bug fixes are frequent, even on "stable" versions... hence the recommendation to enable auto-builds.
[19:54] <tgm4883> what mrand said
[19:55] <spiffydudex> yeah, I'm looking at how to set that up now
[19:55] <tgm4883> !auto% | spiffydudex
[19:55] <Zinn> spiffydudex: Auto builds contain more recent bug fixes than the normal Ubuntu repository contains.  It is available for the latest released MythTV (0.23) on Karmic and Lucid, as well as unstable trunk on Lucid.  See http://www.mythbuntu.org/auto-builds for more info.
[19:55] <mrand> It's also available for older revisions (0.22) on 9.10/karmic
[19:56] <tgm4883> yea someone should fix that
[19:57] <spiffydudex> Thanks alot guys, with some luck I'll have this thing running by tonight.
[19:57] <tgm4883> you want to take care of that mrand? I'm trying to eat lunch and release a beta here
[19:57] <mrand> k
[22:04] <Whyvas> What's the best way to batch update movie posters on mythbuntu 9.10?
[22:04] <Whyvas> Jamu doesn't seem to work for me
[22:04] <Whyvas> says it can't find any videos
[22:06] <tgm4883> Whyvas, are you using storage groups?
[23:21] <Whyvas> tgm4883, I'll take a look
