[05:10] <momelod> greetings
[05:11] <momelod> having a hell of a time getting alsa to play 5.1 to my receiver.
[05:11] <Zinn> momelod: Please watch your language.
[05:34] <rhpot1991> momelod: enabled passthrough, set your speaker configuration to 5.1 and not stereo?
[05:35] <rhpot1991> have content with 5.1 in it?
[06:08] <momelod> rhpot1991, how to i enable passthrough

[12:24] <Zinn> I am alive.

[12:24] <Zinn> I am an IRC bot written in perl, but my code is not yet released.  I am named after Howard Zinn, you can learn more about him here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Howard_Zinn
[12:27] <robin48gx> what does heartbeat actually do ?
[12:28] <patdk-lap> just what it says, it beats a heart
[12:28] <patdk-lap> and checks for a pulse
[12:28] <patdk-lap> if none found, it attempts to make corrective measures
[12:39] <robin48gx> would pacemaker ward of a DDOS ?
[17:00] <baggar11> anyone familiar with s/pdif? seems that from a cold startup, can't play anything to my reciever, if I "only" reboot, I then can. what's the deal?
[17:09] <rhpot1991> baggar11: make sure its not muted in alsamixer?
[17:12] <baggar11> rhpot1991: it's not, the odd thing is the reboot fixes it
[17:12] <baggar11> rhpot1991: nothing else that I do does anything, except the reboot
[17:17] <rhpot1991> baggar11: has it always done this?
[17:18] <rhpot1991> I had something similar before and it turned out to be something really obvious, but I can't recall what now
[17:55] <momelod> greetings channel
[17:56] <momelod> im trying to compile from src but im not clear what libs/devel packages i need to enable vdpau and opengl
[17:57] <momelod> i did an apt-get source of mythtv-0.24.0+fixes.20101213.cfd7b78 to grab the source code.  basically im trying to test patch that hasn't reached the repos yet..
[18:05] <rhpot1991> momelod: why are you compiling from source?
[18:05] <rhpot1991> and you enable passthrough on the frontend, setup > general > 4th page
[18:07] <momelod> hi rhpot1991, once of the developers asked me to try a patch
[18:08] <momelod> i did enable passthrough but still had only 2ch audio
[18:08] <momelod> apparently the developer believes it is because alsa recognizes my soundcard as a usb device which does not support some type of caching
[18:09] <momelod> so the patch hardcodes a different caching method

[18:17] <momelod> does anyone have a list of the required libs for compiling vdpau?
[18:40] <gregL> momelod, libvdpau1 libvdpau-dev
[18:43] <momelod> thank you
[18:46] <baggar11> I'm seeing a reference to restart "/etc/init.d/alsa-utils" to get s/pdif to work, does 10.04 have that even?
[18:49] <baggar11> I don't have a frontend accessible right now to check...
[19:08] <momelod> baggar11, the only alsa related init script i see is /etc/init.d/alsa-mixer-save
[19:09] <momelod> i do have alsa-utils installed tho
[19:10] <baggar11> momelod: thanks
[19:10] <baggar11> momelod: know anyway to restart sound?
[19:27] <momelod> by passthrough u are referring to the option "separate digital output device" correct?
[19:35] <baggar11> passing through to a receiver
[19:42] <momelod> baggar11, where is that option exactly?
[19:46] <baggar11> settings --> general if I remember right
[19:47] <baggar11> 3rd or 4th screen in, I'm not at a frontend to tell you for sure though
[19:59] <momelod> i dont see "passthrough" on that screen, but under advanced audio options i do see "separate digital output device"
[20:09] <baggar11> momelod: I think it was renamed in 0.23, it was named passthrough on 0.22 though
[20:13] <momelod> i think im sol, it must be my receiver
[20:13] <momelod> i need a cheap receiver that can take my single hdmi-out from the pc into the reciever, decode the audio and send the video to the tv.
[20:13] <momelod> any recomendations?
[20:15] <rhpot1991> onkyo 608
[20:15] <rhpot1991> assuming by cheap you mean cheapest good model
[20:15] <rhpot1991> and not uter crap
[20:16] <momelod> i mean cheap as in $200 lol
[20:16] <rhpot1991> eh, its worth the extra $150
[20:17] <momelod> where u seeing it for $350? im seeing it for around $600
[20:18] <rhpot1991> should be 370 or so

[20:21] <rhpot1991> momelod: doesn't do video upconverting I don't think
[20:21]  * rhpot1991 looks for a way to compare
[20:26] <momelod> rhpot1991, in the specs it says video upconversion=1080p

[21:26] <rhpot1991> you can compare there
[21:30] <rhpot1991> momelod: serius radio and thx support seem to be the 2 big differences
[22:01] <tgm4883> rhpot1991, superm1 http://www.humblebundle.com/
[22:01] <tgm4883> in case you wanted in on the humble indie bundle 2
[22:02] <rhpot1991> 2 is out?
[22:02] <superm1> meh that's not angry birds
[22:02] <superm1> all i play these days is angry birds
[22:05] <rhpot1991> eh I'll buy just to support the cause
[22:05] <rhpot1991> I forget what I gave for the first
[22:06] <rhpot1991> seems they are getting hit hard the links to the game sites are timing out
[22:11]  * rhpot1991 buys
[22:54] <Homefront_Office> Looking for a nice board & Processor for a upgrade to my media cent... Thoughts please... I all ready dumped  my budget on 6-sat drives vidieo cards and etc.. and this thing is slugish :(
[22:56] <baggar11> Homefront_Office: what is your budget?
[22:57] <Homefront_Office> baggar11,      0.000 LOL will be starting a flamer with the wife 350.00 this will be in my living room so not to nosy
[23:00] <baggar11> Homefront_Office: hehe, well I just grabbed a gigabyte ga-p55-usb3 with core i7 870 and 8GB ram. you could probably grab a slower processor and less memory and fit into 350$ though.
[23:01] <Homefront_Office> Baggar this is running backend and frontends switching between 3 tv's
[23:02] <Homefront_Office> baggar11, No I like your set up LOL that will get me hiting that 1800 mark lol
[23:03] <baggar11> Homefront_Office: I only paid 600$ for all that, also included a new case and power supply. :)
[23:08] <Homefront_Office> baggar11, nice job! I got 900 in side,  6 2-TB - Movies-Miusic / 1 -TB for os and pohto's / 2 - HDhomerun (4 tunner cards) 7.1 suround 6 -HDMI outputs
[23:09] <Homefront_Office> and a big OOPS ON THE HART of the system
[23:12] <baggar11> sounds nice
[23:13] <baggar11> I'm actually not even using that system for a frontend either, it's my backend storage server with a virtual machine of mythtv-backend on it
[23:13] <baggar11> only have 2 frontends right now
[23:15] <Homefront_Office> I have mine running 3 frontends in one box with good remotes
[23:16] <Homefront_Office> 2 frontends are in vm
[23:16] <Homefront_Office> thats Y I think Im going for the I7 chip and 4Gram
[23:17] <Homefront_Office> Im just ordering the parts and she will get them when ups shows up LOL
[23:18] <Homefront_Office> M-Xmas gift to me OOps hunny You Were no to see them...
[23:20] <baggar11> not bad, the i7 chip smokes
[23:20] <baggar11> hyperthreading on it is much improved from the old p4 days too
[23:22] <Homefront_Office> sweet thanks
[23:23] <rhpot1991> Homefront_Office: why are you running frontends in VMs?
[23:23] <rhpot1991> thats prob why its running badly
[23:23] <rhpot1991> the most common setup for what it sounds like you want to do, would be to do a powerful computer for your master backend/frontend
[23:24] <rhpot1991> then use lower power boxes elsewhere, like an nvidia ion
[23:24] <rhpot1991> !frontend | Homefront_Office
[23:24] <Zinn> Homefront_Office: Ion Boxes make a great frontend.  http://www.baablogic.net/drupal/node/2
[23:30] <Homefront_Office> rhpot1991, 1 reason I dumped my cash into storage and and HDMI cards not thinking this out or asking question in here.. and the other reason is I have no boxes in bedrooms and lingrooms once everthing is up... Nice and clean!
[23:31] <Homefront_Office> livingrooms
[23:33] <rhpot1991> Homefront_Office: look at that link, ion boxes are pretty tiny
[23:33] <rhpot1991> I'm not sure if you can really offload video to multiple GPUs so having more than one card in a system may be a waste
[23:34] <Homefront_Office> Zinn, nice link but I dont have anything or place them on or in...  We all have flat screens on the walls
[23:34] <Zinn> Hi Homefront_Office, something I can help you with today?  I am a bot, use !help to see what I can do.
[23:34] <rhpot1991> no room behind the tv?
[23:34] <Homefront_Office> LOL on me
[23:34] <Homefront_Office> I will have to look!
[23:35] <rhpot1991> most ion boxes you can mount to the back of the tv
[23:35] <Homefront_Office> sweet that would be nice...
[23:35] <baggar11> Homefront_Office: do you plan on doing a multi-head setup with those multiple cards?
[23:35] <Homefront_Office> Yes
[23:36] <Homefront_Office> no
[23:36] <Homefront_Office> read steve
[23:38] <Homefront_Office> 2 cards are pvr -150 using the tv outs
[23:38] <rhpot1991> pvr-150 doesn't have tv out
[23:38] <rhpot1991> 350 does
[23:38] <baggar11> sounds like a pain to setup, you should document your setup process
[23:39] <Homefront_Office> ok oops 350 then
[23:39] <rhpot1991> I thought that 350 output support was dropped
[23:39] <rhpot1991> superm1: mrand tgm4883 verify this ^
[23:39] <tgm4883> that sounds about right
[23:40] <tgm4883> in MythTV I think
[23:40] <tgm4883> http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/hauppauge_PVR-350#Doesn.27t
[23:40] <Zinn> [www.mythtv.org] Hauppauge PVR-350 - MythTV
[23:40] <tgm4883> yea says it doesn't work
[23:40] <Homefront_Office> rhpot1991, my vm are running XBMC and the livingroom is running Myth
[23:41] <rhpot1991> tgm4883: thought so
[23:41] <rhpot1991> Homefront_Office: where did you even find pvr-350s anymore
[23:41] <rhpot1991> I thought they were extinct
[23:42] <tgm4883> Warning: The Hauppauge PVR-350 mpeg2 hardware decoder (playback) is no longer supported since version 0.23 ( see http://svn.mythtv.org/trac/changeset/22845 ). With MythTV 0.23 and later, the ivtv Xorg/Xv driver is required for TV output using this card.
[23:42] <tgm4883> from that page
[23:42] <Homefront_Office> rhpot1991, tgm4883 I have had them cards for yrs just never used them so that y im running them in vm under winshit and XBMC with the main frontend running Myth
[23:44] <Homefront_Office> I only took me a mo. of nights and weekeds to get this stuff working but I did and Now can say it will work lol this way anyhow lol
[23:46] <Homefront_Office> but you need loots of power to support this setup... I would not recommend this to any one... I started it and was going to find a way witch I did... :)
[23:53] <Homefront_Office> good night all heading home
