[03:11] how do u setup automatically skip commercials? [03:11] running Mythbuntu 10.10 [03:12] hot_wheelz, it's a frontend setting [03:12] well [03:12] actually it's set in a couple places [03:12] you tell the backend whether you want it to automatically flag commercials [03:12] are you programs already being automatically flagged? [03:14] not sure...don't think so...i thought i selected automatically skip commercials though [03:14] how can i check [03:15] in watch recordings, there is an icon for comm flagged programs [03:16] hang on [03:17] tgm4883 a litle flag right? [03:17] hot_wheelz, it depends on the theme [03:17] which theme are you using [03:18] mythbuntu [03:18] yea it's a little grey flag then [03:18] iirc, or a little cylinder if it's currently commflagging [03:18] nope don't see it [03:18] sec [03:19] ok [03:19] so on your backend, in mythtv-setup, in General [03:20] 8th screen [03:20] "Allow commercial-detection jobs" [03:20] make sure that is checked [03:20] ok then [03:21] that will tell the backend to automatically run the commflag job on the show [03:21] thats all [03:21] one more place [03:21] you have to tell the frontend to automatically skip commercials [03:23] settings > setup > tv playback > playback [03:23] 8th screen [03:23] thats in the frontend [03:23] set "Automatically skip commercials" to whichever setting you want [03:24] ok brb [03:31] ok done so how do i run it on somthing that was alraedy recorded select from watch recording or somthing [03:32] err, from memory, you hit M on the recording in watch recordings and there should be an option to runn comm flagging job [03:32] ok [03:33] then just let it run [03:33] I'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 0.24 [03:34] hot_wheelz, yep [03:34] it will take a while depending on your backend speed [03:35] squidly, are you sure it's xscreensaver? [03:35] and not either gnome-screensaver or dpms? [03:36] tgm4883 thanks mate [03:36] hot_wheelz, welcome [03:36] tgm4883: yea I removed gnome-screensaver [03:36] squidly, I haven't seen that issue in a long time [03:36] hmm it could be something wierd the [03:37] then* [03:37] I don't recall what the issue/fix was [03:37] once done the cylinder will change to a flag? [03:37] IIRC, I turned it off completely [03:37] hot_wheelz, yep [03:37] ok [03:37] I 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 bit [03:38] squidly, memory usage is usually theme dependent [03:38] some themes take more than others [03:38] 256 taken by the video card? [03:38] what theme are you using? [03:38] mythbuntu theme [03:38] yea thats a higher one, what else are you doing on the box? [03:39] nfs mounts [03:39] a deamon I wrote to control my tv. [03:39] anything else that would use ram though? [03:39] nope [03:39] pastebin "free -m" [03:39] !pastebin [03:39] when pasting more than 5 lines of data please use http://mythbuntu.pastebin.com so you don't flood the channel. Then please post the link in the channel. [03:40] what is a lot of memory usage? [03:40] tgm4883: craig 1938 11.7 71.7 1928492 547008 ?

Sl Feb18 170:04 /usr/bin/mythfrontend.real --logfile /var/log/mythtv/mythfrontend.log [03:44] yea.. makes me wonder if something is broken or mis-configured [03:45] looks like libvdpau [03:45] thats from my frontend only zotac [03:45] which is using about 960MB [03:46] 00007f472d825000 1001436K rw--- [ anon ] [03:46] hmm I wonder.. [03:46] 1 gig allocated :( [03:46] yea.. [03:46] its a built in video card. I've had issues with anything HD pixilating on it.. [03:47] what video card? [03:47] well, I doubt you have enough streams on your gpu [03:47] the video card is a Nvidia 8200 [03:47] oh, that isn't really going work [03:47] does that even support vdpau? [03:47] yea it does [03:48] http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131318 that is the mobo [03:48] [www.newegg.com] Newegg.com - ASUS M3N78-VM AM2+/AM2 NVIDIA GeForce 8200 HDMI Micro ATX AMD Motherboard [03:48] oh onboard [03:48] yea.. This is part of my cute little frontend.. [03:49] I got that because I wanted the HDMI out [03:49] I wonder what type of memory usage the frontend has right after starting it [03:50] tgm4883: minimal [03:50] mythtv says you need atleast a 8400 [03:50] and not a memory sharing 8400 [03:50] squidly, what deinterlacer are you using? [03:50] so only 8400's with their own ram [03:51] on the frontend Vdapu Slim profile [03:51] Patrickdk, wiki says 8200 onboard [03:51] http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/VDPAU [03:51] [www.mythtv.org] VDPAU - MythTV [03:51] hmm, I don't see it [03:51] oh way down there [03:51] it's in the second section [03:51] Feat B section [03:51] and it's a B chip :( [03:51] yea it's iffy [03:51] (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). [03:52] it worked for the most part with most things. [03:52] just a couple of HD movies pixilated on 0.23 [03:52] squidly, what deinterlacer? [03:53] * Patrickdk doesn't bother much with vdpau, mainly cause of the lack of subtitle support in myth [03:53] squidly use as fast a deinterlacing as possible, or none [03:53] tgm4883: let me get that really quick [03:54] 8200 is plenty to decode, but wont handle the high end de-interlacers [03:54] is the same chip as the second gen 8400 [03:55] mycosys: okies. yea it was using advanced, with the secondary temporta. [03:56] yay? [03:56] yay :) [03:56] according to the wiki, thats not going to work [03:56] i woudl go with none [03:56] you need to go down to at least bob2x [03:56] i'd test with none though [03:57] yea I will try that out. [03:57] test with none.. see how that works. [03:57] are you iin a 50Hz or 60Hz country? [03:57] now where is my spare keykoad [03:57] mycosys: ?? 60 or 60hz? [03:57] 50 or 60hz? how can I check that [03:57] pal ir ntsc [03:57] *or [03:58] actually - simpler to ask what country [03:58] US [03:58] bugger [03:58] so IIRC PAL [03:58] NTSC [03:58] lol [03:58] US is NTSC [03:58] you kinda need postprocessing for movies [03:58] see if it bothers you [03:59] oh lol. I pull of a DirecTV system, I dont need HD for life tv.. [03:59] I will try the slim profile then [03:59] nah [03:59] edit the profile ur using [03:59] * tgm4883 wonders what this live tv thing is :) [03:59] lol tgm4883 [03:59] oh wow.. um.. no nvidia module loaded! [03:59] that would be a problesm! [04:00] it would indeed [04:00] run hardware drivers from the settings menu [04:00] you need the proprietary nvidia drivers [04:00] settings menu of mythbuntu that is [04:00] yea I know. I'm installing them via cli right now (faster for me) [04:01] remenbered having to add repos [04:01] might have been another linux [04:01] almost all my video hardware is nvidia [04:01] mine too [04:01] in fact all of it - only other is my fiancee's lappy [04:02] mythserver is running a blob dled direct from nv because the distro didnt suppport my gt210 at the time [04:02] ahh.. [04:03] yea.. my wifes lappy runs the intel video chipset [04:03] ew [04:03] she only uses it for surfing and IM [04:03] fiancee has an ati, but she doesnt do lin [04:03] !ff [04:03] Feature Freeze for 11.04 is on Feb 12, 2011 [04:04] Zinn you liar [04:04] Hi tgm4883, something I can help you with today? I am a bot, use !help to see what I can do. [04:04] as soon as I can get my wife's windows docs backed up I will be fixineg her box to linux [04:04] why? [04:04] my desky and lappy are doze primarily [04:05] I'm 98% linux [04:05] * tgm4883 runs 100% linux in his house [04:05] there is bugger all you cant do with just 1 lin box in the house [04:05] teaching my kids linux as well. It's free [04:05] linux is that far superioir you only need one [04:05] mycosys: lol [04:05] its tru [04:06] yea I know. I run linux at work and as home. I only use doze for games [04:07] ahh there we go now it's got nvidia in there [04:07] let me reset the deinterlacing and see how that works [04:07] also got rid of the old libvdapu verisons [04:08] i need pro/engineer (they dumped lin) and acrobat pro and mathematica - i need bloody win boxes [04:09] irony is my amd 5200+ is as quick at doin most stuff under doze as my 1366 system is under w7 [04:09] if i need lin on the go the lappy dual boots === rhpot1991 is now known as rhpot1992 === rhpot1992 is now known as rhpot1991 [04:11] also need to compile to doze for uni (going from technician to engineer) [04:11] back [04:11] getting anywhere? [04:12] yep [04:12] changed to bob and fallback of none [04:12] btw - recommend deluge - is lovely on my mythserver lol [04:12] that fixed the pixilation for me [04:12] sweet! [04:12] yep.. LOTR would pixilate a lot for me [04:12] now it does not [04:12] :) [04:12] deluge the torrent client? [04:13] I use rtorrent [04:13] yup - deluge has a separate daemon and client [04:13] and a web if [04:13] client can run on a remote machine [04:13] nice. I like rtorrent and a webcute rutorrent [04:13] it something I was able to teach my wife how to use :D [04:13] and it runs on my server so no issues there.. [04:13] i love having a remote gtk client [04:14] lol [04:15] still eating up 61% ram.. [04:15] the frontend or whole system? [04:16] frontend [04:16] while decoding? [04:16] nope [04:16] right now it's idle [04:16] :O [04:17] which version? [04:18] 2:0.24.0+fixes.20110219.dca8767-0ubuntu0mythbuntu2 0 [04:19] still libvdpau [04:21] I wonder if it's a memory leak in it [04:21] because sitting ilde here it just eats up more [04:51] tgm4883 [04:51] yep [04:52] the show still has some commericals can u train it? [04:53] hot_wheelz: nope. It does the best it can. [04:53] If you want, you can manually cut them out with the cutlist editor [04:54] It doesn't take long, but it is a manual process [04:55] mrand where is it located? [04:55] hot_wheelz: I don't remember the keyboard short cut - you'll have to look it up. z maybe? [04:57] mrand so goto watch recordings and hit z [04:59] If z is the right key. Or maybe it is 'e'. You'll have to look at the keyboard short cuts [05:07] it is z [05:09] mrand so what screen do i run z from then [05:17] tgm4883 do u know [05:19] hot_wheelz, I think thats when you are watching the recording [05:19] pause and hit Z [05:20] hot_wheels - i recommend not using commercial auto skip [05:20] just set a button for skip on ur remote [05:20] and set it to show on the osd when a commercial comes [05:21] then if it shows a commercial that is in a sane place and a sane length - skip it [05:22] * tgm4883 uses autoskip, it works ~95% of the time [05:22] mycosys: 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. [05:24] so how do i get the cutlist to appaer from what menu [05:26] when do i press z? [05:49] anyone === chqadmin is now known as BuggyDE [23:43] wc
