[00:12] <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
[00:15] <nickbp> good thing im not on pulseaudio thatd probably just make the problem worse
[00:21] <nickbp> i was able to fix mplayer with "ao=alsa:device=iec958", but this still leaves mythtv channels, flash, etc
[00:27] <nickbp> which all seem to agree with alsa's crotchety opinion that digital out should be ignored
[00:28] <Shadow__X> nickbp: setup also to use that tuner
[00:29] <Shadow__X> output*
[01:31] <nickbp> Shadow__X: setup what?
[01:34] <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
[01:35] <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
[02:22] <qwebirc90768> hello
[02:22] <qwebirc90768> need some basic help
[02:22] <qwebirc90768> just did a mythbuntu install
[02:22] <qwebirc90768> everything is fine
[02:23] <qwebirc90768> just trying to figure out where i put the video files I already
[02:23] <qwebirc90768> have download
[02:23] <qwebirc90768> anybody
[02:24] <gregl> are you saying you lost something you downloaded or you are looking for the recordings?
[03:04] <rileyp> anyone home today
[03:04] <rileyp> I need some help with mythexport
[03:05] <rileyp> Would anyone be so kind
[03:36] <rhpot1991> rileyp: whats the problem?
[03:40] <Fudge> is there any  cli tooks to setup myth backend
[03:40] <Fudge> tools
[03:43] <nickbp> Shadow__X: is this in xfce?
[03:45] <Shadow__X> nickbp: yes
[03:45] <rileyp> mythweb is really slow to respond andmythexport gives me a 404 error
[03:46] <rileyp> http://pastebin.com/QiDAw8ze this is my apache2 errror log
[03:47] <rileyp> I flushed privildges yesterday.
[03:51] <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
[03:52] <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
[03:53] <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
[03:54] <qwebirc88296> it was an avi file
[03:54] <Shadow__X> ok did you use the mythbuntu control center and install the codecs
[03:55] <qwebirc88296> yep
[03:55] <qwebirc88296> after i tried first
[03:55] <qwebirc88296> i had to go into myth and write internal for avi
[03:56] <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
[03:58] <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
[03:59] <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
[04:00] <len_> The recordings show up in mythtv in the media library
[04:00] <len_> just like that are supposed to
[04:01] <len_> but they don't play because of permission problems
[04:01] <len_> mythbuntu runs under a user account
[04:02] <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
[04:03] <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
[04:04] <tgm4883> sec
[04:05] <tgm4883> len_, how did you start the control centre?
[04:05] <len_> with the control center icon
[04:06] <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
[04:07]  * 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
[04:08] <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
[04:09] <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.
[04:10] <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
[04:11] <len_> Thanks
[04:11] <Shadow__X> qwebirc88296: well if your cpu can handle it anything
[04:12] <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
[04:13] <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
[04:14] <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.
[04:15] <qwebirc88296> hm
[04:16] <qwebirc88296> for now i have the boxee on the mythbuntu box that install of ubuntu on mythbuntu is really light
[04:17] <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
[04:18] <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
[04:19] <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
[04:20] <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
[04:21] <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
[04:22] <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
[04:23] <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
[04:24] <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
[04:25] <qwebirc88296> thanks for the help
[04:25] <qwebirc88296> i gotta run
[04:50] <innatech> qwebirc88296 -- if you keep after this, try invoking mythfrontend from an xterm so you can see what it's complaining about.
[10:16] <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?
[10:18] <DaveMorris> NFS :)
[11:32] <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
[12:56] <innatech_athome> DaveMorris: this is a wild guess, but check the CPU usage settings for transcoding jobs?
[12:57] <DaveMorris> where is that set?  I checked it whilst it was running and it was at around 2%
[12:58] <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!
[13:44] <rileyp> anyone using mythexport on lucid
[15:04] <rhpot1991> rileyp: yes, whats up?
[15:11] <rileyp> rhpot1991,  are you there
[15:14] <rhpot1991> rileyp: yes, please ask your question
[15:16] <rileyp> ah I m having trouble opening the rss page
[15:16] <rileyp> actually the std page /192.168.1.10/mythexport
[15:16] <rhpot1991> rileyp: what kind of trouble

[15:30] <rhpot1991> rileyp: run this: sudo a2ensite mythexport.conf
[15:32] <rileyp> I just installed mythweb again will that break anything?
[15:32] <rileyp> a2ensite mythexport.conf
[15:32] <rileyp> opps wrong window
[15:33] <rhpot1991> rileyp: no, it shouldn't
[15:33] <rileyp> /etc/apache2/sites-available#
[15:35] <rileyp> http://192.168.1.10/mythexport/ thats correct  or do I need some capitals
[15:36] <rileyp> Its abded a mythweb  to sites available and it works
[15:36] <rhpot1991> reinstalling mythweb did that
[15:37] <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?
[15:38] <rileyp> ite mythexport.conf already enabled
[15:39] <rhpot1991> is it in sites-enabled now?
[15:39] <rileyp> http://192.168.1.10/mythexport/ does not load still
[15:42] <rileyp> rhpot1991,      attempting a reinstall of mythexport from synaptic...done
[15:42] <rileyp> rhpot1991,   still not loading
[15:43] <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
 is it in sites-enabled now?
[15:44] <rileyp> and i did use your script
[15:45] <rileyp> Stopping MythExport Daemon: mythexport  No /usr/bin/perl found running; none killed.
[15:46] <rileyp> yes
[15:47] <rileyp> http://pastebin.com/tfyrp7zc   apache2 problem perhaps?
[15:47] <rhpot1991> thats normal
[15:48] <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
[15:49] <rileyp> /etc/init.s/apche2 restart?
[15:50] <rhpot1991> yes
[15:52] <rileyp> still no go
[15:54] <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
[15:55] <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
[15:56] <rileyp> Could not reliably determine the server's fully qualified domain name
[15:57] <rileyp> sing 127.0.1.1 for ServerName
[15:57] <rileyp> is that normal
[15:57] <rileyp> still not loading
[15:58] <rileyp> i disabled and renabled mythexport and restarted apache
[15:59] <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
[16:00] <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
[16:02] <rileyp> http://pastebin.com/XZcGxbg6
[16:03] <rhpot1991> rileyp: odds are your /etc/mythtv/mysql.txt or config.xml files have the wrong password in them
[16:04] <rileyp> mythweb works and mythfrontends work but yes perhaps
[16:04] <rileyp> Ill lokk
[16:05] <rileyp> db password is mythtv and it still got the auro generated one in config.xml
[16:05] <rhpot1991> well they connect differently
[16:06] <rhpot1991> it will be reading config.xml for that
[16:06] <rileyp> loads!
[16:07] <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!
[16:08] <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
[16:09] <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
[16:10] <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
[16:11] <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
[16:12] <rileyp> to execute the user job its a select and click thing
[16:13] <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
[16:14] <rileyp> And you can slect when transcoding is done so it does not interfere with recording etc
[16:15] <rileyp> via myth user jobs of course
[16:16] <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
[16:18] <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
[16:19] <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

[16:20] <rileyp> haha beat ya
[16:21] <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
[16:22] <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
[16:23] <rileyp> Ah ok zin the bot tricky
[16:24] <rileyp> Ok so if I just installed mythexport it would break C?
[16:26] <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 :)
[16:27] <rileyp> It was a birthday present 6 days ago I have a company phone so thast wasnt going to happen
[16:28] <rhpot1991> rileyp: C should help you with ipods
[16:31] <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
[18:16] <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
[18:17] <LuYu> now that xrandr pretty much stomps xorg,
[18:17] <LuYu> xorg.conf
[18:17] <LuYu> life has become difficult
[18:18] <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
[18:19] <LuYu> but i have no idea how to do video timings or anything like that
[21:59] <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?
[22:03] <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?
[22:04] <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
[22:05] <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
[22:06] <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 :)
[22:07] <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
[22:08] <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
[22:09] <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
[22:10] <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
[22:12] <rhpot1991> mkv is nice I must say
[22:13] <rhpot1991> I plan on making it less of a hastle dealing with ffmpeg in upcoming releases
[22:17] <DaveMorris1> from a users point of view, it just needs adding into to mytharchive, to archive them off to a folder as *.avi
[22:18] <DaveMorris1> the selecting of the files, encoder selection etc is all there
[22:19] <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
[22:22] <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
[22:23] <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
[22:24] <rhpot1991> DaveMorris1: I'd try building nuvexport from source and running ffmpeg with medibuntu enabled
[22:25] <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
[22:27] <DaveMorris1> what will happen is I'll find time to package it up once, then not have time in the future
[22:28] <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
[22:29] <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
[22:30] <rhpot1991> trust me I know :)
[22:31] <rhpot1991> I should look into some automated testing for that
