| nickbp | hi, mythbuntu 10.04 has decided to ignore the spdif/digital out on my onboard audio (snd-hda-intel on some realtek chip), how can i disable the analog audio? | 00:12 |
|---|---|---|
| nickbp | digital is now being ignored across vlc/mplayer/mythtv, so im thinking alsa decided to do something obnoxious | 00:12 |
| nickbp | good thing im not on pulseaudio thatd probably just make the problem worse | 00:15 |
| nickbp | i was able to fix mplayer with "ao=alsa:device=iec958", but this still leaves mythtv channels, flash, etc | 00:21 |
| nickbp | which all seem to agree with alsa's crotchety opinion that digital out should be ignored | 00:27 |
| Shadow__X | nickbp: setup also to use that tuner | 00:28 |
| Shadow__X | output* | 00:29 |
| nickbp | Shadow__X: setup what? | 01:31 |
| Shadow__X | nickbp: the sound | 01:34 |
| Shadow__X | you know its not using the right output so you can either set it per app or you can just set it up correct | 01:34 |
| Shadow__X | in the top bar there is a volume slider right click it and do properties | 01:35 |
| Shadow__X | and you can change it | 01:35 |

| qwebirc90768 | have download | 02:23 |
| qwebirc90768 | anybody | 02:23 |
| gregl | are you saying you lost something you downloaded or you are looking for the recordings? | 02:24 |
| rileyp | anyone home today | 03:04 |
| rileyp | I need some help with mythexport | 03:04 |
| rileyp | Would anyone be so kind | 03:05 |
| rhpot1991 | rileyp: whats the problem? | 03:36 |
| Fudge | is there any cli tooks to setup myth backend | 03:40 |
| Fudge | tools | 03:40 |
| nickbp | Shadow__X: is this in xfce? | 03:43 |
| Shadow__X | nickbp: yes | 03:45 |
| rileyp | mythweb is really slow to respond andmythexport gives me a 404 error | 03:45 |
| rileyp | http://pastebin.com/QiDAw8ze this is my apache2 errror log | 03:46 |
| rileyp | I flushed privildges yesterday. | 03:47 |
| qwebirc88296 | hello | 03:51 |
| qwebirc88296 | i did a fresh | 03:51 |
| qwebirc88296 | install of mythbuntu | 03:51 |
| qwebirc88296 | audio files working fine | 03:51 |
| qwebirc88296 | thru myth | 03:51 |
| qwebirc88296 | but cant open or see avi files | 03:52 |
| qwebirc88296 | any ideas | 03:52 |
| Shadow__X | qwebirc88296: for starters lets try and keep it to just a few lines next would be did you tell mythtv where to find your media | 03:52 |
| qwebirc88296 | i installed boxee on same machine | 03:52 |
| qwebirc88296 | yep | 03:53 |
| qwebirc88296 | boxee is working just fine | 03:53 |
| Shadow__X | http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Storage_Groups#Storage_directories | 03:53 |
| Zinn | [www.mythtv.org] User Manual:MythTV structure - MythTV | 03:53 |
| qwebirc88296 | it was an avi file | 03:54 |
| Shadow__X | ok did you use the mythbuntu control center and install the codecs | 03:54 |
| qwebirc88296 | yep | 03:55 |
| qwebirc88296 | after i tried first | 03:55 |
| qwebirc88296 | i had to go into myth and write internal for avi | 03:55 |
| Shadow__X | or perhaps say use default | 03:56 |
| Shadow__X | also make sure it says Internal | 03:56 |
| qwebirc88296 | the other codecs had listed internal | 03:56 |
| qwebirc88296 | i could give default a try | 03:56 |
| qwebirc88296 | any other thoughts as to what it could be | 03:56 |
| qwebirc88296 | could it be this bit about a storage directory | 03:58 |
| qwebirc88296 | in the manual it says it must have a directory in the storage group | 03:58 |
| qwebirc88296 | i haven't et anything up mannually yet for that | 03:59 |
| len_ | Is anyone here using mirobridge? | 03:59 |
| qwebirc88296 | just trying to use the box for standalone video player | 03:59 |
| len_ | mythbuntu control center sets up miro to save videos to /root/.miro | 03:59 |
| len_ | The recordings show up in mythtv in the media library | 04:00 |
| len_ | just like that are supposed to | 04:00 |
| len_ | but they don't play because of permission problems | 04:01 |
| len_ | mythbuntu runs under a user account | 04:01 |
| len_ | why does the mythbuntu control centre configure the miro account to root? | 04:02 |
| tgm4883 | len_, I used to use it, but I don't have a /root/.miro dir. I have a /home/thomas/.miro directory | 04:02 |
| len_ | If I install miro one its own it creates a user directory | 04:02 |
| len_ | But when I config in mythbuntu control center | 04:03 |
| tgm4883 | well you have to have miro installed in order to mirobridge to work | 04:03 |
| len_ | it creates a it's own root version | 04:03 |
| len_ | miro is installed and working | 04:03 |
| len_ | but putting recordings in /root | 04:03 |
| tgm4883 | len_, 10.04 or 9.10? | 04:03 |
| len_ | 10.04 | 04:03 |
| tgm4883 | sec | 04:04 |
| tgm4883 | len_, how did you start the control centre? | 04:05 |
| len_ | with the control center icon | 04:05 |
| Shadow__X | qwebirc88296: if you plan to use the box as a standalone video player without recording videos mythtv isnt the best option | 04:06 |
| len_ | I'm not. I'm using it for everything | 04:06 |
| * tgm4883 points out that Shadow__X wasn't talking to len_ | 04:07 | |
| len_ | And it does it is doing it just like I want it. miro downloads get intregrated right with the rest. just don't a have permission to actually view | 04:07 |
| len_ | Ah, OK :) | 04:07 |
| qwebirc88296 | what is the best option | 04:07 |
| Shadow__X | len_: i was talking to qwebirc88296 and if you plan to record tv then by all means use mythtv i know i do | 04:07 |
| qwebirc88296 | just for a player | 04:08 |
| Shadow__X | qwebirc88296: you can just install ubuntu and boxee and just be done | 04:08 |
| qwebirc88296 | yeah | 04:08 |
| Shadow__X | mythtv has much more overhead because it is designed to be structured around recording tv and is a client/server model | 04:08 |
| Shadow__X | which you dont need | 04:08 |
| qwebirc88296 | i was reading and alot of people say the playback through myth is the best | 04:08 |
| tgm4883 | hmm | 04:09 |
| tgm4883 | what package is mirobridge part of? | 04:09 |
| qwebirc88296 | your thoughts | 04:09 |
| len_ | I'm scratching my head on this one. Miro run stand-alone uses a regular user account, but mythbuntu control centre sets up it's own separte root copy. | 04:09 |
| Shadow__X | qwebirc88296: sure playback is good but if all your doing is goign to be playing videos out of a folder install vanilla ubuntu install boxee set that up and boom done | 04:10 |
| tgm4883 | len_, i've pinged the developer on it. I've got a 9.10 backend, which is working right here | 04:10 |
| qwebirc88296 | yeah its easy but which is the best performer for 1080 | 04:10 |
| len_ | Thanks | 04:11 |
| Shadow__X | qwebirc88296: well if your cpu can handle it anything | 04:11 |
| qwebirc88296 | this is a setup for my room but i am going to be getting that new asus ion for the main room and thats where I am not sure | 04:12 |
| qwebirc88296 | 1.6 ghz dual its a little iffy on the performance side but is supposed to kick out 1080p | 04:13 |
| tgm4883 | qwebirc88296, you probably want XBMC/Boxee | 04:13 |
| tgm4883 | although I kind of hate boxee | 04:13 |
| qwebirc88296 | yeah | 04:13 |
| qwebirc88296 | i have read so many great things on myth | 04:13 |
| qwebirc88296 | i just did the install today | 04:14 |
| qwebirc88296 | I don't know much but really wanted to learn more | 04:14 |
| Shadow__X | qwebirc88296: yeah mythtv is great but if you just plan to watch videos then its overkill | 04:14 |
| Shadow__X | and not in a goodway | 04:14 |
| len_ | It works fine btw. It creates links to the /root/.miro recordings, and the miro recordings show up in the media library just like they should--they just don't play because of permissions. | 04:14 |
| qwebirc88296 | hm | 04:15 |
| qwebirc88296 | for now i have the boxee on the mythbuntu box that install of ubuntu on mythbuntu is really light | 04:16 |
| Shadow__X | ok | 04:17 |
| Shadow__X | but not compared to an xubuntu install | 04:17 |
| Shadow__X | because mythtv needs more libs | 04:17 |
| Shadow__X | and has dependencies | 04:17 |
| Shadow__X | like mysql and myth frontend backend | 04:17 |
| qwebirc88296 | the boxee still needs a 9.1 distro | 04:17 |
| Shadow__X | its upto 10.04 now | 04:18 |
| qwebirc88296 | oh i see | 04:18 |
| qwebirc88296 | nice | 04:18 |
| qwebirc88296 | which would be stronger for streaming internet tv | 04:18 |
| qwebirc88296 | myth or boxee | 04:19 |
| Shadow__X | boxee imo would be easier for someone that wants point and click | 04:19 |
| Shadow__X | i love mythtv but its geared more towards people who want to get their hands dirty | 04:19 |
| qwebirc88296 | i see well i am up for the challenge with myth just figured i would ask some q's this evening | 04:20 |
| Shadow__X | right i am sure you can get it to work but for your situation boxee would be easier | 04:20 |
| Shadow__X | but yeah if you want to learn thats good too | 04:20 |
| qwebirc88296 | its weird that the audio loaded and played but the video got jammed | 04:20 |
| Shadow__X | for vdpau(gpu offloading) you need a recent nvidia card | 04:21 |
| Shadow__X | it could have internal errors | 04:21 |
| Shadow__X | try another video | 04:21 |
| qwebirc88296 | well it didnt even load up as playable in the library | 04:21 |
| qwebirc88296 | it showed no files present when in myth | 04:21 |
| Shadow__X | i am not sure i havnt had those issues | 04:21 |
| qwebirc88296 | even though its sitting in the video file for the library | 04:22 |
| Shadow__X | are you using mythvideo? | 04:22 |
| qwebirc88296 | yep | 04:22 |
| Shadow__X | and did you hit m for menu and scanned for changes | 04:22 |
| qwebirc88296 | nope did not do that | 04:22 |
| Shadow__X | because i have files and they play fine | 04:22 |
| Shadow__X | reading through some of the documentation would help | 04:22 |
| qwebirc88296 | yeah | 04:23 |
| Shadow__X | i am not trying to discourage you from using mythtv just pointing out there are easier ways if all you want to do is watch videos instead of recording | 04:23 |
| qwebirc88296 | nobody seemed to be having this issue | 04:23 |
| qwebirc88296 | i hear u shadow | 04:23 |
| Shadow__X | sometimes issues happen | 04:24 |
| qwebirc88296 | thats linux | 04:24 |
| qwebirc88296 | frustrating this early to be having what appears on the surface to be a very basic issue | 04:24 |
| qwebirc88296 | thanks for the help | 04:25 |
| qwebirc88296 | i gotta run | 04:25 |
| innatech | qwebirc88296 -- if you keep after this, try invoking mythfrontend from an xterm so you can see what it's complaining about. | 04:50 |
| DaveMorris | I'm trying to use nuvexport to transcode some recordings however it is failing :( Running it on Ubuntu Karmic. I think I've identified the problem, which is that mythtranscode is running at 0 FPS I'm running the command on my frontend, which has got the recordings mounted in the same location (they both exist on /recordings) as the backend, via NTFS. Any ideas as to what I'm doing wrong, or have wrongly configured? | 10:16 |
| DaveMorris | NFS :) | 10:18 |
| DaveMorris | further debugging shows the process is running at around 1 fps | 11:32 |
| DaveMorris | if I do it separately with the commands I get from --debug | 11:32 |
| innatech_athome | DaveMorris: this is a wild guess, but check the CPU usage settings for transcoding jobs? | 12:56 |
| DaveMorris | where is that set? I checked it whilst it was running and it was at around 2% | 12:57 |
| innatech_athome | I don't recall the menu layouts that clearly. On the backend, it's in General Settings, I think. Not sure if there's an independent setting on the frontend. | 12:58 |
| DaveMorris | ok, I'll have a poke around the menus when I make it home | 12:58 |
| innatech_athome | good luck! | 12:58 |
| rileyp | anyone using mythexport on lucid | 13:44 |
| rhpot1991 | rileyp: yes, whats up? | 15:04 |
| rileyp | rhpot1991, are you there | 15:11 |
| rhpot1991 | rileyp: yes, please ask your question | 15:14 |
| rileyp | ah I m having trouble opening the rss page | 15:16 |
| rileyp | actually the std page /192.168.1.10/mythexport | 15:16 |

| rileyp | thats it | 15:30 |
| rhpot1991 | rileyp: run this: sudo a2ensite mythexport.conf | 15:30 |
| rileyp | I just installed mythweb again will that break anything? | 15:32 |
| rileyp | a2ensite mythexport.conf | 15:32 |
| rileyp | opps wrong window | 15:32 |
| rhpot1991 | rileyp: no, it shouldn't | 15:33 |
| rileyp | /etc/apache2/sites-available# | 15:33 |
| rileyp | http://192.168.1.10/mythexport/ thats correct or do I need some capitals | 15:35 |
| rileyp | Its abded a mythweb to sites available and it works | 15:36 |
| rhpot1991 | reinstalling mythweb did that | 15:36 |
| rhpot1991 | most likely | 15:37 |
| rhpot1991 | shouldn't need caps | 15:37 |
| rileyp | yes and the mythweb page loads | 15:37 |
| rhpot1991 | mythexport working? | 15:37 |
| rileyp | no page not load | 15:37 |
| rhpot1991 | did you run the commands that I said? | 15:37 |
| rileyp | ite mythexport.conf already enabled | 15:38 |
| rhpot1991 | is it in sites-enabled now? | 15:39 |
| rileyp | http://192.168.1.10/mythexport/ does not load still | 15:39 |
| rileyp | rhpot1991, attempting a reinstall of mythexport from synaptic...done | 15:42 |
| rileyp | rhpot1991, still not loading | 15:42 |
| rhpot1991 | rileyp: it would help if you answered my questions instead of running off and doing other things, but whatever | 15:43 |
| rileyp | I did answer your q | 15:43 |
| rhpot1991 | <rhpot1991> is it in sites-enabled now? | 15:44 |
| rileyp | and i did use your script | 15:44 |
| rileyp | Stopping MythExport Daemon: mythexport No /usr/bin/perl found running; none killed. | 15:45 |
| rileyp | yes | 15:46 |
| rileyp | http://pastebin.com/tfyrp7zc apache2 problem perhaps? | 15:47 |
| rhpot1991 | thats normal | 15:47 |
| rileyp | ah ok thats good to know | 15:48 |
| rhpot1991 | and if your daemon wasn't started it wouldn't be able to stop it, so you can ignore that too | 15:48 |
| rhpot1991 | if its in sites-enabled all you should need to do is restart apache, which I told you to do above after you enabled the site | 15:48 |
| rileyp | ok | 15:48 |
| rileyp | /etc/init.s/apche2 restart? | 15:49 |
| rhpot1991 | yes | 15:50 |
| rileyp | still no go | 15:52 |
| rileyp | is ther soemthing I need to config before mythexport can start I thought all the config was done via webpage | 15:54 |
| rhpot1991 | rileyp: yes, but the web should just work | 15:54 |
| rhpot1991 | its sin sites-enabled now? | 15:54 |
| rileyp | well it did a week ago | 15:54 |
| rileyp | yes it is and sites available | 15:55 |
| rhpot1991 | and what have you done since then? | 15:55 |
| rhpot1991 | lets try this | 15:55 |
| rileyp | I installed tomcat6 and mythpodcaster | 15:55 |
| rhpot1991 | sudo a2dissite mythexport.conf | 15:55 |
| rhpot1991 | sudo a2ensite mythexport.conf | 15:55 |
| rhpot1991 | sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart | 15:55 |
| rileyp | Could not reliably determine the server's fully qualified domain name | 15:56 |
| rileyp | sing 127.0.1.1 for ServerName | 15:57 |
| rileyp | is that normal | 15:57 |
| rileyp | still not loading | 15:57 |
| rileyp | i disabled and renabled mythexport and restarted apache | 15:58 |
| rhpot1991 | yes, thats the same warning as before | 15:59 |
| rileyp | http://192.168.1.10/mythexport/ is the page Im attempting to load | 15:59 |
| rhpot1991 | rileyp: still 404? | 15:59 |
| rileyp | no its 500 internal server error | 15:59 |
| rhpot1991 | woulda been nice to know when it changed from 404 to 500... | 16:00 |
| rileyp | should I paste /var.log/apache2/error.log | 16:00 |
| rhpot1991 | yes | 16:00 |
| rileyp | http://pastebin.com/XZcGxbg6 | 16:02 |
| rhpot1991 | rileyp: odds are your /etc/mythtv/mysql.txt or config.xml files have the wrong password in them | 16:03 |
| rileyp | mythweb works and mythfrontends work but yes perhaps | 16:04 |
| rileyp | Ill lokk | 16:04 |
| rileyp | db password is mythtv and it still got the auro generated one in config.xml | 16:05 |
| rhpot1991 | well they connect differently | 16:05 |
| rhpot1991 | it will be reading config.xml for that | 16:06 |
| rileyp | loads! | 16:06 |
| rileyp | thnask you now can a sk a few simple questions as Iv enver used it before | 16:07 |
| rhpot1991 | rileyp: sure | 16:07 |
| rileyp | I never would of worked that one out you are a gem! | 16:07 |
| rileyp | Now will I be able to select download items to download on my ipod | 16:08 |
| rhpot1991 | rileyp: if you set everything up then you should be able to just point itunes (or whatever you are using) at the rss feed | 16:08 |
| rhpot1991 | hopefully itunes is happy about the mp3 audio, if not you will need to enable medibuntu and switch out libmp3 for libfaac, should all be on the wiki | 16:09 |
| rileyp | Ok so my ipod will down load them via its wireless network ability | 16:09 |
| rhpot1991 | rileyp: ipod touch with built in wireless? | 16:10 |
| rileyp | I choos to transcode item via mythtv i sthat correct | 16:10 |
| rileyp | yes that correct | 16:10 |
| rhpot1991 | might be able to do that, I've always uses software to do it on my computer | 16:10 |
| rhpot1991 | I gave up on ipods when mine broke, so I haven't bothered much with them in the past few releases | 16:11 |
| rhpot1991 | in mythweb or mythfrontend you can execute the user job on a recording, it will then show up in the rss feed once its done encoding | 16:11 |
| rileyp | to execute the user job its a select and click thing | 16:12 |
| rhpot1991 | rileyp: you can tell it to run a user job on specific recordings when you set them up too | 16:13 |
| rhpot1991 | so say you record a sports show every day, you can have that automagically encode when its done recording | 16:13 |
| rileyp | And you can slect when transcoding is done so it does not interfere with recording etc | 16:14 |
| rileyp | via myth user jobs of course | 16:15 |
| rhpot1991 | rileyp: well you can do them whenever you want, but if you set them to happen automagically it happens when the recording is done | 16:16 |
| rhpot1991 | its run with nice -19 so it should never cause issues with hogging cpu | 16:16 |
| rileyp | I read recently that ffmpeg command line parameter had changed and it was causing grief with mythwexport | 16:18 |
| rileyp | am I mistaken? | 16:18 |
| rhpot1991 | it does all the time | 16:18 |
| rileyp | does mythexport use ffmpeg? | 16:18 |
| rhpot1991 | yes | 16:18 |
| rhpot1991 | every release I have headaches with flags changing | 16:19 |
| rhpot1991 | like what I was mentioning with mp3 above | 16:19 |
| rhpot1991 | ipods prefer aac, but we don't have aac in ffmpeg any longer | 16:19 |

| rileyp | haha beat ya | 16:20 |
| rileyp | I did plan C medibuntu | 16:21 |
| rileyp | thanks anyway zim can you offer up some settings for me as I have no idea | 16:21 |
| rhpot1991 | zinn is just telling you the title of the page you pasted | 16:22 |
| Zinn | Hi rhpot1991, something I can help you with today? I am a bot, use !help to see what I can do. | 16:22 |
| rhpot1991 | B. Install the unstripped or extra libraries | 16:22 |
| rhpot1991 | mythexport does that | 16:22 |
| rhpot1991 | C is what I said you could do | 16:22 |
| rhpot1991 | I do not recommend A at all | 16:22 |
| rileyp | I did C 4 hours ago should I do B | 16:22 |
| rileyp | Ah ok zin the bot tricky | 16:23 |
| rileyp | Ok so if I just installed mythexport it would break C? | 16:24 |
| rhpot1991 | rileyp: no, but you will need to change the ffmpeg line to use aac instead | 16:26 |
| rhpot1991 | it should all be on the wiki | 16:26 |
| rileyp | ok thnaks so should I stay with C? | 16:26 |
| rhpot1991 | rileyp: or you could get a mediaplayer that doesn't hate freedom :) | 16:26 |
| rileyp | It was a birthday present 6 days ago I have a company phone so thast wasnt going to happen | 16:27 |
| rhpot1991 | rileyp: C should help you with ipods | 16:28 |
| rileyp | ok so Ill stick with C is ther anything else I need to install as thats all I have apart from what mythbuntu gives and | 16:31 |
| LuYu | i need help configuring X for a TV | 18:16 |
| LuYu | ive got an old sony trinitron | 18:16 |
| LuYu | and the svideo output | 18:16 |
| LuYu | is really ugly | 18:16 |
| LuYu | now that xrandr pretty much stomps xorg, | 18:17 |
| LuYu | xorg.conf | 18:17 |
| LuYu | life has become difficult | 18:17 |
| LuYu | plus, TV specs dont include resolution | 18:18 |
| LuYu | the screen is pretty much square, so im guessing a resolution like 800x800 would work | 18:18 |
| LuYu | but i have no idea how to do video timings or anything like that | 18:19 |
| DaveMorris1 | Hi, I see that nuvexport got dropped for lucid, I assume there is a better tool for archiving off our recordings. So what is the preferred way now? | 21:59 |
| rhpot1991 | DaveMorris1: we stopped packaging it because no one was maintaining it and it was constantly out of sync and unusable | 22:03 |
| DaveMorris1 | yeah I guessed it was something like that, but what is the supported way of archiving off recordings? | 22:03 |
| rhpot1991 | DaveMorris1: use mytharchive? | 22:04 |
| rhpot1991 | or build nuvexport from source | 22:04 |
| rhpot1991 | or make your own user job | 22:04 |
| DaveMorris1 | it appears to make them into DVDs, I wanna keep them as files on my fileserver | 22:04 |
| rhpot1991 | you could use mythexport too, but it includes a lot of things you don't care about | 22:05 |
| DaveMorris1 | currently looking at mythexport, which may do the job | 22:05 |
| rhpot1991 | DaveMorris1: you can transcode right from myth, cut the commercials and transcode | 22:05 |
| rhpot1991 | wont give you the choices nuvexport gave you though | 22:05 |
| DaveMorris1 | ok, I'm looking at http://www.mythbuntu.org/wiki/MythExport and it says there is a webinterface for it | 22:06 |
| DaveMorris1 | but what is the url ??? | 22:06 |
| DaveMorris1 | using find, I've got it :) | 22:06 |
| rhpot1991 | DaveMorris1: after you install its http://localhost/mythexport | 22:07 |
| DaveMorris1 | the formatting apears wrong on that page, let me see if my account is still valid | 22:07 |
| rhpot1991 | ya it is | 22:07 |
| rhpot1991 | prob from us pulling it from the old wiki | 22:07 |
| rhpot1991 | DaveMorris1: so whatever the ip of your backend is, add mythexport onto that | 22:07 |
| rhpot1991 | DaveMorris1: fair warning you are going to need to mess with ffmpeg with this until you get something you like | 22:08 |
| rhpot1991 | pretty much all of my pre-sets are for mobile devices | 22:08 |
| DaveMorris1 | also if it runs on the backend I don't think I wanna do that. My backend is a little under spec | 22:08 |
| rhpot1991 | DaveMorris1: you can trick it with NFS shares | 22:09 |
| rhpot1991 | so run it on a different box and just have the location look the same | 22:09 |
| DaveMorris1 | hmmm, I think I'll also take a look at http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Mythnuv2mkv | 22:10 |
| Zinn | [www.mythtv.org] Mythnuv2mkv - MythTV | 22:10 |
| rhpot1991 | mkv is nice I must say | 22:12 |
| rhpot1991 | I plan on making it less of a hastle dealing with ffmpeg in upcoming releases | 22:13 |
| DaveMorris1 | from a users point of view, it just needs adding into to mytharchive, to archive them off to a folder as *.avi | 22:17 |
| DaveMorris1 | the selecting of the files, encoder selection etc is all there | 22:18 |
| DaveMorris1 | although nuvexport appeared to make it easy, however it isn't transcoding the files for me on karmic, and since it's dropped from lucid, not much point in using it | 22:19 |
| rhpot1991 | DaveMorris1: problem is that ffmpeg loses sync with programs | 22:22 |
| rhpot1991 | flags change every release | 22:22 |
| rhpot1991 | so unless you have someone keeping up on it, we have a nuvexport that doesn't match the ffmpeg and you just can't use it then | 22:22 |
| rhpot1991 | then users start building ffmpeg from source and all hell breaks lose | 22:23 |
| Zinn | rhpot1991: Please watch your language. | 22:23 |
| rhpot1991 | quiet zinn | 22:23 |
| Zinn | Hi rhpot1991, something I can help you with today? I am a bot, use !help to see what I can do. | 22:23 |
| DaveMorris1 | yeah, I know ffmpeg is a pig | 22:23 |
| DaveMorris1 | which is why I don't wanna start rolling my own | 22:23 |
| rhpot1991 | DaveMorris1: I'd try building nuvexport from source and running ffmpeg with medibuntu enabled | 22:24 |
| rhpot1991 | if you want to maintain it we can get it back in | 22:25 |
| rhpot1991 | or if you want to come up with a good mythexport solution that fits your needs I can build it into that as well | 22:25 |
| DaveMorris1 | unfortunately I don't really have the time to maintain it | 22:25 |
| DaveMorris1 | what will happen is I'll find time to package it up once, then not have time in the future | 22:27 |
| rhpot1991 | DaveMorris1: prob best to talk to superm1, as far as I'm concerned our main issue is not with making the package but making sure it works each release | 22:28 |
| rhpot1991 | ideally you should just be able to get the old source for the package and update the upstream source | 22:28 |
| DaveMorris1 | yeah, which I can't commit my time to | 22:28 |
| rhpot1991 | I say ideally, because I've never touched it so I have no idea what its doing | 22:28 |
| superm1 | if we could get upstream to put it into mythplugins or something else we regularly build it would be so much easier | 22:28 |
| superm1 | keeping it on it's own branch just makes it too tedious to have to update each time | 22:29 |
| rhpot1991 | superm1: ffmpeg sync is a bigger issue IMO | 22:29 |
| rhpot1991 | having a package that doesn't work with ubuntu's ffmpeg causes more headaches than its worth | 22:29 |
| superm1 | ah | 22:29 |
| rhpot1991 | trust me I know :) | 22:30 |
| rhpot1991 | I should look into some automated testing for that | 22:31 |
