| Ankhwatcher | I'd like my myth-frontend to sleep or hibernate instead of shutting down when I choose close and shut down in mythtv. | 12:33 |
| Ankhwatcher | Does anyone know how to do this? | 12:34 |
| dekarl | is that a dedicated frontend without backend? | 12:38 |
| Ankhwatcher | yes | 12:42 |
| Ankhwatcher | the backend is running somewhere else | 12:42 |
| Ankhwatcher | this computer only works as a frontend and does nothing else. | 12:42 |
| dekarl | There's something similar on the wiki http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Putting_mythfrontend_to_sleep | 12:44 |
| Zinn | [www.mythtv.org] Putting mythfrontend to sleep - MythTV | 12:44 |
| Ankhwatcher | dekarl: cool | 13:04 |
| Ankhwatcher | my myth-backend seems to be badly out of sync with bbc broadcast times | 13:04 |
| Ankhwatcher | it keeps cutting of the end of all the recordings. | 13:05 |
| dekarl | so just use a higher default value for minutes to record over the endtime. (I take it you have the correct time set on your backend) | 13:08 |
| dekarl | I use 5 minutes hard plus 5 minutes soft padding for all recordings. usually using ~2 minutes pre would have been enough, but I need up to 45 minutes post (due to the program times being off by a lot at night) | 13:10 |
| patdk-lap | heh, I never had an issue with that | 13:13 |
| patdk-lap | normally they all sync up exactly with ntp | 13:14 |
| dekarl | patdk-lap: lucky you | 13:25 |
| Ankhwatcher | dekarl: where would I change those settings? | 14:02 |
| dekarl | hmm, I changed it via mythweb (RecordOverTime and RecordPreRoll) but that's only one way to do it and only half the settings | 14:08 |
| dekarl | (the value is the time in seconds, soo RecordPreRoll of 300 is start 5 minutes early) | 14:09 |
| dekarl | and hard padding (defaults for your recording rules, existing rules must be manually adjusted) is at DefaultEndOffset and DefaultStartOffset, it's the time in minutes | 14:11 |
| dekarl | both are global settings | 14:11 |
| Ankhwatcher | dekarl: ah mythweb would be convienent I'll do it there. | 14:18 |
| Ankhwatcher | My DefaultEndOffset is set to 5 minutes | 14:29 |
| Ankhwatcher | My TimeOffset is set to auto, would that affect this? | 14:30 |
| dekarl | don't think so. But I have no idea what all these TimeOffsets are good for. IMHO they shoudl die | 14:35 |
| Ankhwatcher | it's a shame the recorder can't pull the clock from the signal and record at it's pace | 14:36 |
| dekarl | why? Is that time any better? | 14:37 |
| Ankhwatcher | well if it records at a time in-sync with what it is recording then it will record at the right time | 14:37 |
| Ankhwatcher | but they probably don't have a time signal. | 14:37 |
| dekarl | IIRC every DVB mux must carry the time, but that doenst help with data that's just wrong | 14:38 |
| Ankhwatcher | iirc? | 14:39 |
| dekarl | if i remember correctly. Try dvbsnoop on PID 70 | 14:39 |
| Ankhwatcher | in immediate remote control? | 14:39 |
| dekarl | well, you are looking for the TDT and TOT tables, whatever PID they go ;) | 14:40 |
| dekarl | and you should have a PTS clock, might be interesting to look at that and see if it's any good | 14:40 |
| dekarl | the tables are per Multiplex/Transport, the PTS should be per program (IIRC :) | 14:41 |
| Ankhwatcher | my two linux boxes are showing about the same time, this windows computer is 30 seconds faster | 14:41 |
| Ankhwatcher | Yes! I got that sleep function working | 14:45 |
| Ankhwatcher | I had to do it slightly differently then the guide | 14:45 |
| Ankhwatcher | Now I have yet-another new question: | 14:49 |
| Ankhwatcher | when I watch HD through this frontend the video works fine but the sound stutters | 14:49 |
| Ankhwatcher | it doesn't happen when I watch recorded hd, just streaming | 14:50 |
| Ankhwatcher | I've tried changing the playback profile to slim, but that didn't help | 14:51 |
| Ankhwatcher | any ideas? | 14:51 |
| dekarl | What mythtv version are you running? I vaguely remember something about bbc hd stutter lately... (need to look it up) | 14:58 |
| dekarl | http://code.mythtv.org/trac/ticket/10079 <- BBC HD audio when switching between 5.1 and 2.0 | 14:59 |
| dekarl | that's with livetv? does pausing and unpausing change it? (quoting from a ticket) but it's best to avoid LiveTV anyway :) | 15:02 |
| Ankhwatcher | Not sure about pausing and unpausing | 15:11 |
| Ankhwatcher | will try that | 15:11 |
| Ankhwatcher | and what kind of talk is "it's best to avoid LiveTV anyway", where is your can-do linux spirit? | 15:12 |
| dekarl | it's the "the developers don't use it, so it's likely to be less polished then recordings. patches appreciated" spirit | 15:14 |
| dekarl | I prefer to stay in "known working well" land :) | 15:15 |
| tgm4883 | I'll agree with that, I can't remember the last time I watched Live TV at home | 15:36 |
| Ankhwatcher | well pausing and playing the buffered stream instead didn't help unfortunately. | 15:37 |
| dekarl | Ankhwatcher: then it's likely not http://code.mythtv.org/trac/ticket/6922 | 15:44 |
| Ankhwatcher | Doesn't look like it, no. The video plays perfectly smoothly | 15:54 |
