[05:02] <bb_bat_> seem to be having some bootup issues after upgrading to 11.10, when booting up, it repeatedly flashes the Nvidia slash
[12:33] <Ankhwatcher> I'd like my myth-frontend to sleep or hibernate instead of shutting down when I choose close and shut down in mythtv.
[12:34] <Ankhwatcher> Does anyone know how to do this?
[12:38] <dekarl> is that a dedicated frontend without backend?
[12:42] <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.
[12:44] <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
[13:04] <Ankhwatcher> dekarl: cool
[13:04] <Ankhwatcher> my myth-backend seems to be badly out of sync with bbc broadcast times
[13:05] <Ankhwatcher> it keeps cutting of the end of all the recordings.
[13:08] <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)
[13:10] <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)
[13:13] <patdk-lap> heh, I never had an issue with that
[13:14] <patdk-lap> normally they all sync up exactly with ntp
[13:25] <dekarl> patdk-lap: lucky you
[14:02] <Ankhwatcher> dekarl: where would I change those settings?
[14:08] <dekarl> hmm, I changed it via mythweb (RecordOverTime and RecordPreRoll) but that's only one way to do it and only half the settings
[14:09] <dekarl> (the value is the time in seconds, soo RecordPreRoll of 300 is start 5 minutes early)
[14:11] <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
[14:18] <Ankhwatcher> dekarl: ah mythweb would be convienent I'll do it there.
[14:29] <Ankhwatcher> My DefaultEndOffset is set to 5 minutes
[14:30] <Ankhwatcher> My TimeOffset is set to auto, would that affect this?
[14:35] <dekarl> don't think so. But I have no idea what all these TimeOffsets are good for. IMHO they shoudl die
[14:36] <Ankhwatcher> it's a shame the recorder can't pull the clock from the signal and record at it's pace
[14:37] <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.
[14:38] <dekarl> IIRC every DVB mux must carry the time, but that doenst help with data that's just wrong
[14:39] <Ankhwatcher> iirc?
[14:39] <dekarl> if i remember correctly. Try dvbsnoop on PID 70
[14:39] <Ankhwatcher> in immediate remote control?
[14:40] <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
[14:41] <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
[14:45] <Ankhwatcher> Yes! I got that sleep function working
[14:45] <Ankhwatcher> I had to do it slightly differently then the guide
[14:49] <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
[14:50] <Ankhwatcher> it doesn't happen when I watch recorded hd, just streaming
[14:51] <Ankhwatcher> I've tried changing the playback profile to slim, but that didn't help
[14:51] <Ankhwatcher> any ideas?
[14:58] <dekarl> What mythtv version are you running? I vaguely remember something about bbc hd stutter lately... (need to look it up)
[14:59] <dekarl> http://code.mythtv.org/trac/ticket/10079 <- BBC HD audio when switching between 5.1 and 2.0
[15:02] <dekarl> that's with livetv? does pausing and unpausing change it? (quoting from a ticket) but it's best to avoid LiveTV anyway :)
[15:11] <Ankhwatcher> Not sure about pausing and unpausing
[15:11] <Ankhwatcher> will try that
[15:12] <Ankhwatcher> and what kind of talk is "it's best to avoid LiveTV anyway", where is your can-do linux spirit?
[15:14] <dekarl> it's the "the developers don't use it, so it's likely to be less polished then recordings. patches appreciated" spirit
[15:15] <dekarl> I prefer to stay in "known working well" land :)
[15:36] <tgm4883> I'll agree with that, I can't remember the last time I watched Live TV at home
[15:37] <Ankhwatcher> well pausing and playing the buffered stream instead didn't help unfortunately.
[15:44] <dekarl> Ankhwatcher: then it's likely not http://code.mythtv.org/trac/ticket/6922
[15:54] <Ankhwatcher> Doesn't look like it, no. The video plays perfectly smoothly
