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

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