[00:11] nevermind I figured it out [10:14] ok, I was having some problems with metadata been produced for mythvideo. I have Life on Mars recorded and transcoded, however metadata been pulled down for it is for the US version. I've created an nfo file in the directory containing the videos, which has in it (as per http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/FillMythMetadata.pl#NFO_Files) however it doesn't seem to be used [10:14] [www.mythtv.org] FillMythMetadata.pl - MythTV [10:47] discovered the problem and filled a bug for it. #707903 [10:47] bug #707903 [10:47] Bug 707903 in mythplugins (Ubuntu) "Example series name overrides enabled by default in jamu.conf" [Undecided, New] http://www.launchpad.net/bugs/707903 [17:30] hey folks i'm trying find a video card that has s-video out to connect to a regular old tv...that hopefully it won't require too much tweaking [17:39] uW: I'd search with google using "s-video OR svideo", or on ebay. Also, Newegg has a power search that you can use: http://www.newegg.com/Product/PowerSearch.aspx?N=100007709&IsNodeId=1&SubCategory=48&GASearch=3 [17:39] [www.newegg.com] Newegg.com - Computer Parts, PC Components, Laptop Computers, LED LCD TV, Digital Cameras and more! [17:41] thanks mrand!!! ..i was wondering because i remember ati drivers had issues in linux.. [17:43] and i was searching the forums for working hardware configs, but the last mention of svideo in that thread was from 2009 so i was wondering if newer cards would be easier to setup [17:48] uW: Despite AMD promising last year (or was it the year before?) about better drivers, I've not heard anyone bragging on them, so yeah, I'd lean towards the newest Nvidia you can find. I saw a few that had DVI output, which can be used witha converter cable to drive an HDMI tv, so it could be somewhat future proof. But I wouldn't spend extra for that. [17:51] nice.. [17:51] uW: looks like there are some s-video cards that even support VDPAU (hardware offload/decode). You can find the VDPAU list on the mythtv wiki. [17:53] i didn't even know about VDPAU [18:45] s-video thats crazyness [18:46] could prob find some vdpau capable pci card to use [19:06] rhpot1991: there are 20 moderately recent Nvidia cards, and a few quite new ones (including a GTS 250 and a 260) with PCIe and s-video. If they'd been available back when I built my system, that's what I would have gotten (since I had standard def). [19:40] yeah..i knw s-video is nutz but i haven't been really compelled to upgrade my tv..
