hot_wheelzhow do u setup automatically skip commercials?03:11
hot_wheelzrunning Mythbuntu 10.1003:11
tgm4883hot_wheelz, it's a frontend setting03:12
tgm4883well03:12
tgm4883actually it's set in a couple places03:12
tgm4883you tell the backend whether you want it to automatically flag commercials03:12
tgm4883are you programs already being automatically flagged?03:12
hot_wheelznot sure...don't think so...i thought i selected automatically skip commercials though03:14
hot_wheelzhow can i check03:14
tgm4883in watch recordings, there is an icon for comm flagged programs03:15
hot_wheelzhang on03:16
hot_wheelztgm4883 a litle flag right?03:17
tgm4883hot_wheelz, it depends on the theme03:17
tgm4883which theme are you using03:17
hot_wheelzmythbuntu03:18
tgm4883yea it's a little grey flag then03:18
tgm4883iirc, or a little cylinder if it's currently commflagging03:18
hot_wheelznope don't see it03:18
tgm4883sec03:18
hot_wheelzok03:19
tgm4883so on your backend, in mythtv-setup, in General03:19
tgm48838th screen03:20
tgm4883"Allow commercial-detection jobs"03:20
tgm4883make sure that is checked03:20
hot_wheelzok then03:20
tgm4883that will tell the backend to automatically run the commflag job on the show03:21
hot_wheelzthats all03:21
tgm4883one more place03:21
tgm4883you have to tell the frontend to automatically skip commercials03:21
tgm4883settings > setup > tv playback > playback03:23
tgm48838th screen03:23
tgm4883thats in the frontend03:23
tgm4883set "Automatically skip commercials" to whichever setting you want03:23
hot_wheelzok brb03:24
hot_wheelzok done so how do i run it on somthing that was alraedy recorded select from watch recording or somthing03:31
tgm4883err, from memory, you hit M on the recording in watch recordings and there should be an option to runn comm flagging job03:32
hot_wheelzok03:32
hot_wheelzthen just let it run03:33
squidlyI'm running mythbuntu 10.10 with fixes. I keep having xscreensaver pop on when I'm watching tv. how can I fix that? I started when I updated from myth 0.23 to myth 0.2403:33
tgm4883hot_wheelz, yep03:34
tgm4883it will take a while depending on your backend speed03:34
tgm4883squidly, are you sure it's xscreensaver?03:35
tgm4883and not either gnome-screensaver or dpms?03:35
hot_wheelztgm4883 thanks mate03:36
tgm4883hot_wheelz, welcome03:36
squidlytgm4883: yea I removed gnome-screensaver03:36
tgm4883squidly, I haven't seen that issue in a long time03:36
squidlyhmm it could be something wierd the03:36
squidlythen*03:37
tgm4883I don't recall what the issue/fix was03:37
hot_wheelzonce done the cylinder will change to a flag?03:37
tgm4883IIRC, I turned it off completely03:37
tgm4883hot_wheelz, yep03:37
hot_wheelzok03:37
squidlyI also am seeing a lot more memory use as well. The box has 1G installed and 256 is taken by the video card (ugg) and now it seems to be swapping quit a bit03:37
tgm4883squidly, memory usage is usually theme dependent03:38
tgm4883some themes take more than others03:38
Patrickdk256 taken by the video card?03:38
tgm4883what theme are you using?03:38
squidlymythbuntu theme03:38
tgm4883yea thats a higher one, what else are you doing on the box?03:38
squidlynfs mounts03:39
squidlya deamon I wrote to control my tv.03:39

squidlyyea.. makes me wonder if something is broken or mis-configured03:44
Patrickdklooks like libvdpau03:45
tgm4883thats from my frontend only zotac03:45

Patrickdk00007f472d825000 1001436K rw---    [ anon ]03:46
squidlyhmm I wonder..03:46
Patrickdk1 gig allocated :(03:46
squidlyyea..03:46
squidlyits a built in video card. I've had issues with anything HD pixilating on it..03:46
tgm4883what video card?03:47
Patrickdkwell, I doubt you have enough streams on your gpu03:47
squidlythe video card is a Nvidia 820003:47
Patrickdkoh, that isn't really going work03:47
tgm4883does that even support vdpau?03:47
squidlyyea it does03:47
squidlyhttp://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131318 that is the mobo03:48
Zinn[www.newegg.com] Newegg.com - ASUS M3N78-VM AM2+/AM2 NVIDIA GeForce 8200 HDMI Micro ATX AMD Motherboard03:48
tgm4883oh onboard03:48
squidlyyea.. This is part of my cute little frontend..03:48
squidlyI got that because I wanted the HDMI out03:49
tgm4883I wonder what type of memory usage the frontend has right after starting it03:49
squidlytgm4883: minimal03:50
Patrickdkmythtv says you need atleast a 840003:50
Patrickdkand not a memory sharing 840003:50
tgm4883squidly, what deinterlacer are you using?03:50
Patrickdkso only 8400's with their own ram03:50
squidlyon the frontend Vdapu Slim profile03:51
tgm4883Patrickdk, wiki says 8200 onboard03:51
Patrickdkhttp://www.mythtv.org/wiki/VDPAU03:51
Zinn[www.mythtv.org] VDPAU - MythTV03:51
Patrickdkhmm, I don't see it03:51
Patrickdkoh way down there03:51
tgm4883it's in the second section03:51
tgm4883Feat B section03:51
Patrickdkand it's a B chip :(03:51
tgm4883yea it's iffy03:51
tgm4883(1) GPUs with this note may not support H.264 streams with the following widths: 49, 54, 59, 64, 113, 118, 123, 128 macroblocks (769-784, 849-864, 929-944, 1009-1024, 1793-1808, 1873-1888, 1953-1968, 2033-2048 pixels).03:51
squidlyit worked for the most part with most things.03:52
squidlyjust a couple of HD movies pixilated on 0.2303:52
tgm4883squidly, what deinterlacer?03:52
* Patrickdk doesn't bother much with vdpau, mainly cause of the lack of subtitle support in myth03:53
mycosyssquidly use as fast a deinterlacing as possible, or none03:53
squidlytgm4883: let me get that really quick03:53
mycosys8200 is plenty to decode, but wont handle the high end de-interlacers03:54
mycosysis the same chip as the second gen 840003:54
squidlymycosys: okies. yea it was using advanced, with the secondary temporta.03:55
Patrickdkyay?03:56
Patrickdkyay :)03:56
tgm4883according to the wiki, thats not going to work03:56
mycosysi woudl go with none03:56
tgm4883you need to go down to at least bob2x03:56
tgm4883i'd test with none though03:56
squidlyyea I will try that out.03:57
squidlytest with none.. see how that works.03:57
mycosysare you iin a 50Hz or 60Hz country?03:57
squidlynow where is my spare keykoad03:57
squidlymycosys: ?? 60 or 60hz?03:57
squidly50 or 60hz? how can I check that03:57
mycosyspal ir ntsc03:57
mycosys*or03:57

squidlybecause sitting ilde here it just eats up more04:21
hot_wheelztgm488304:51
tgm4883yep04:51
hot_wheelzthe show still has some commericals can u train it?04:52
mrandhot_wheelz: nope.  It does the best it can.04:53
mrandIf you want, you can manually cut them out with the cutlist editor04:53
mrandIt doesn't take long, but it is a manual process04:54
hot_wheelzmrand where is it located?04:55
mrandhot_wheelz: I don't remember the keyboard short cut - you'll have to look it up.  z maybe?04:55
hot_wheelzmrand so goto watch recordings and hit z04:57
mrandIf z is the right key.  Or maybe it is 'e'.  You'll have to look at the keyboard short cuts04:59
hot_wheelzit is z05:07
hot_wheelzmrand so what screen do i run z from then05:09
hot_wheelztgm4883 do u know05:17
tgm4883hot_wheelz, I think thats when you are watching the recording05:19
tgm4883pause and hit Z05:19
mycosyshot_wheels - i recommend not using commercial auto skip05:20
mycosysjust set a button for skip on ur remote05:20
mycosysand set it to show on the osd when a commercial comes05:20
mycosysthen if it shows a commercial that is in a sane place and a sane length - skip it05:21
* tgm4883 uses autoskip, it works ~95% of the time05:22
mrandmycosys: I agree.  It does an amazing job, but it still makes enough mistakes that most people would prefer to hit a button.  Of course, you could take the attitude that since it gets it right the majority of the time, you should let it autoskip, and when it doesn't, skip back.05:22
hot_wheelzso how do i get the cutlist to appaer from what menu05:24
hot_wheelzwhen do i press z?05:26
hot_wheelzanyone05:49
