[00:10] Did mythbuntu got all the feature of mythtv, I need to record 4 channel 24h/24 7day a week on my main server, and I have 6 Windows client over the network who need to acces to the video [00:11] did it fits my need ? [00:11] x409, these 4 channels, are they security cameras? [00:11] (or other types of cameras) [00:11] no, tv [00:12] x409, I suppose you could use it for that, although I'm not 100% sure the point that you are trying to do [00:12] there may be a much simpiler way to do it [00:12] maybe VLC+streaming? [00:13] this is for radio station [00:13] I need to record tv channel [00:13] and the day after, they need to extract audio from the video to be play on air [00:13] but, they need the video to know where is the good quote [00:14] why do you need to record 4 streams for 24 hours [00:14] to record all the local news channel [00:15] I will buy 4 tv tuner, this is not a problem, like Hauppauge PVR-150 [00:16] and i don't need a good resolution, something like 340x340 is OK [00:16] the only thing i need is a full audio, no skipping frame [00:18] x409, you have 1 radio station? [00:18] yes, in fact 2 [00:19] are you just putting the raw audio feed onto the radio? [00:20] the client listend the video, and record the audio with Adobe Audition and put it in the radio system [00:22] x409, IMO, this sounds convoluted. But I suppose you could create 4 manual schedules to record 24 hours of stream and run it each day [00:23] tgm4883, did you get to try out the latest version of the app? [00:24] dmfrey, I tried it a bit, but I haven't tested it too much [00:24] much faster interface [00:24] tgm4883, ok [00:24] IIRC, there are some things that still don't work too well until everything gets loaded [00:24] dmfrey, IIRC, going into recorded programs, works, but if you try to drill down you have to wait a bunch [00:25] tgm4883, so there is no build in option in mythtv to record one channel 24 hours by day, 7 day a week ? [00:25] ok [00:25] but it at least tells you it is downloading and to try back in a bit, right? [00:25] x409, it would be a manual schedule. But again, that isn't a very good use for a DVR [00:25] dmfrey, yea [00:26] ok, good [00:26] the thing people were complaining about was that you couldn't do anything while all the data was downloading [00:26] yea, which is bad [00:27] now you can at least do some things, but I'm wondering if there isn't a better way to do that. Honestly I haven't looked at the code though (and haven't written java since college) [00:27] it used to download, parse and load the db [00:27] Providing a fast enough backend is present, I don't see why this can't fly [00:28] now it just downloads and stores the json in the external storage cache [00:28] how much data are we exactly downloading on startup? [00:28] then loads the json into an internal cache for use while using the screens [00:29] they load into the cache really fast, then subsequent hits in the cache are almost instantaneous [00:29] right now, it loads everything [00:29] as the day changes, it will load the next days program guide [00:30] the upcoming only gets updated once a day, based on the last modified timestamp of the json file in the fs [00:30] the recorded programs gets updated after the last modified date on the recorded json is an hour old [00:31] you can always refresh manually the upcoming and recorded [00:31] it was asked to let you set the number of days of program guide you want to download [00:31] so will probably add that to the preferences [00:32] rather than download everything, would it be terrible to request it when needed? [00:32] well, a smaller amount [00:33] but, i agree, a fast enough backend should produce the data fast, but, what I have been finding, is that it takes a bit longer time to generate the data and transfer it over the wire [00:33] could do that, or just move the loading of the program guide to program guide screen, the recorded to the recording screen, etc. [00:33] also limit the days to download [00:34] my thought behind this way was to make it as much like a frontend as possible [00:35] once .26 is out, will be able to take advantage of etag to check if the network resource changed or not [00:35] as well as gzip compression [00:35] dmfrey, IMO, it might be better to only grab X hours of the guide. Keep that as minimal as possible. And work with upstream to flesh out the API [00:36] so when searching upcoming recordings or for a new schedule, it queries the backend for just that data [00:38] i will have to look into it [00:39] dmfrey, ok, just installed it on my wife's S3 [00:39] luckily the recorded and upcoming are really quick [00:39] cool, not sure if I heard of anyone running it on one of them [00:40] I'm in that state where I can't see any of my episodes [00:40] I can see the shows, but can't drill down [00:40] oh, and it hangs while it downloads banners [00:40] yeah, shouldn't take too long, right? [00:41] well that banner part doesn't. maybe 10 seconds [00:41] which is kinda a long time [00:41] but it's a bit weird to wait this long for episode info [00:42] I also have an enhancement request that will really help out first installs [00:42] you want that in a bug report or here? [00:43] oh there's some oddity too [00:43] you can tell me about it, but it should go on github [00:43] i can add it [00:43] ok [00:44] if I click on Home, and I don't have a home configured (or even if it can't reach it) it should automatically kick off a scan and add a found backend [00:44] i think with the banners, I will kick off a download and the next time you come into it display them then [00:44] that should speed up the interface [00:44] oh, that's a good idea [00:45] so while this "please try again later" thing is progress. I'm still seeing it almost 10 minutes after opening this [00:46] with no indication that anything is actually happening [00:47] banners in landscape mode look funny because they don't span the width of the screen [00:48] dmfrey, so if you plan on keeping the downloading of everything, you need some sort of progress bar [00:48] ok [00:49] at this point, I have no idea whats going on and might have uninstalled this by now [00:49] it's kinda unresponsive, but I'll wait until it's finished loading everything to see if that is causing it [00:51] i wonder if it just didn't update local cache [00:51] it is probably done with recordings and upcoming [00:51] dmfrey, oh, it at least tells me that it was retreiving recording rules [00:53] if you can grab when the guide data ends, then you should make it so I can't progress past that point [00:54] i think it tells me that it's loading right nwo [00:54] also, I can't swipe left past midnight [00:55] i was thinking about that...that ViewPager would have 288 fragments in it then, if you download all 12 days of data available to the guide [00:55] either way, so I can't swipe to the next/previious day [00:56] there are buttons for next and previous day at the top of each page [00:56] dmfrey, yea I know there are buttons, but it's intuitive for me to just swipe to the right if it's 11:30PM [00:57] swipe to the right should just load next day [00:57] *If it would take me to 12:00 AM [00:57] not always :) [00:57] 20 minutes later, still can't watch recordings :/ [00:58] can you look int /mnt/sdcard/Android/org.mytht/cache/programs on the fs? [00:59] hmm, maybe [00:59] is there a minimal files I can get to just use adb to get there? [00:59] otherwise I'll need to download something on the phone [01:00] astro should be able to do it [01:01] wait, it just loaded it [01:01] otherwise, you could do just the android sdk [01:01] it might be because I hit the refresh button a few minutes ago [01:01] don't need eclipse to do that, although the make a view that makes it easy [01:05] the two folders in the cache dir are program and programGuide [01:06] yes [01:07] oops, i said programs above [01:08] there is a bunch of things in the program folder [01:09] ok, so the cache isn't updating, so the files downloaded, but the cache wasn't notified [01:09] well it is now I think [01:10] I believe I have full functionality in the app now [01:10] although it's still sluggish [01:12] dmfrey, also, it would be nice if I could do something with the recordings other than watch them [01:12] such as delete/get info, etc [01:12] we are getting there [01:12] :) [01:13] i actually want, when you click on it, to go to a details view, then you can play, delete, etc. [01:13] see all the artwork [01:13] that kind of stuff [01:14] dmfrey, are you keeping aspect ratio on the banners? [01:14] IDK if it's just me, but they look odd on my nexus 7 [01:15] the latest code has that fixed [01:15] they were too large for some displays at native resolution [01:15] also, should probably do something to check resolution and do h/w based on that [01:15] I think i'm on 9/22 [01:16] although the about screen doesn't tell me ;) [01:16] yeah, there is code out there in git that fixed that [01:17] also, added all the dashboard artwork, and changed name of the app to MythTV Android Frontend [01:17] code is going to be moving to a MythTV Clients organization under MythTV [01:17] heh [01:17] I just saw the attempt at widescreen tablet support :) [01:18] gives me this very thin list of show titles on the right [01:18] yeah, that was a problem [01:19] i reverted all that back since some people had some issues with it [01:19] dmfrey, just a thought, rather than the previous/next dual pane approach, what if you threw up the coverart on the left pane [01:19] it would be skinnier leaving more space for show info [01:20] which brings me to.. Adding season/episode if available to the episodes [01:21] could you mock that up and send it to me? [01:21] what do you mean? [01:21] heh [01:21] which part [01:21] the left pane, or right pane [01:21] your idea of what the two panes together should look like [01:22] what do you mean about the "Adding season/episode if available to the episodes"? [01:22] sec [01:24] dmfrey, so I'm going to try to explain this rather than mock it up as it's kinda done [01:25] ok [01:25] so when listing episodes, list them as "Title - SXXEXX" [01:25] and possibly sort them by season/episode [01:25] currently they are just listed by episode title [01:25] it is currently set to sort them by season/episode [01:25] awesome [01:25] however, i am finding that the services api is not always populating it [01:26] so that is blank [01:26] dmfrey, well it might not always be available? [01:26] right [01:26] so blank is fine if that is the case [01:26] as for the other pane [01:26] do you happen to use a current mythbuntu pane? [01:26] mythbuntu theme? [01:29] no, i currently have the steppe theme installed [01:29] oh, wait, i know what you mean [01:31] that would be really nice for a tablet [01:31] yea [01:32] i struggle with some of the ui stuff, but I will see if Tom can produce a view for tablets that resembles that [01:33] awesome [01:33] keep up the good work. I'll keep testing when you need me to :) [01:36] thanks, and please post your ideas to the github [01:36] issues list [01:36] these were great [01:36] i added the notifications while we were talking [01:37] :) [01:37] so next release will have them [03:01] dmfrey: mxplayer is streaming fine on my n7 [03:01] kinda choppy though [03:02] that's good [03:03] i wonder why it is choppy [03:03] just added notifications to the download services [03:03] kinda reminds me of how it skips in the native player [03:04] testing some now [03:04] so people will know they are doing something [03:04] hmm, sure it is using mx player? [03:04] upping to 720p seems better [03:04] still a little blocky though [03:05] did you take the code out that makes it automagically go back to the recording screen? [03:05] mine is welcoming me back to a white screen now [03:05] and I have to hit an extra back [03:05] yeah, while back [03:05] we might e able to put that back in now [03:05] never got to the bottom of why that broke your phone? [03:06] no [03:06] that might have been the internal player [03:06] feel free to add that back in there [03:06] i will try it out [03:06] test it [03:06] on this phone [03:07] hmmm native player looks about the same on here now [03:08] new icons are looking nice too btw [03:09] yeah, i really like them [03:09] is the interface fast? [03:10] besides the initial load of recordings I haven't had to wait [03:11] hmmm didn't like it when I bumped the video bitrate for internal player [03:14] dmfrey: can the recording rules save yet? [03:14] I'm guessing no? [03:14] no [03:14] can only make active or inactive [03:14] tom is still working on that interface [03:15] i can't quite seem to get the ui layout stuff to line up just right [03:15] I see some text overlap [03:15] where at? [03:15] recording rules [03:15] here I'll email [03:17] in your gmail [03:17] ah, see that, thanks [03:17] that on the nexus? [03:17] on n7 [03:18] ok, thanks [03:18] I don't have latest on my gn don't think [03:18] I'll push it on there tomorrow and verify [03:18] ok [03:18] be sure to pull so you get the new stuff i did tonight [03:18] dmfrey: I think we are ready for the market in a beta capacity [03:19] interface and playback are both working well currently [03:20] just sent you one more, notice the really large row [03:20] i think so too [03:20] hmm, i wonder why that is doing that [03:20] not sure [03:21] all my other upcomings are fine [03:21] long text? [03:21] loosk like it pushed the other stuff off screen [03:21] maybe it tried to roll them or somethingt [03:23] dmfrey: looks like channels in the guide are sorted by tuner or source first before channel number [03:23] my locals are showing up before my cable card ones [03:23] by design? [03:26] couldn't sort by number [03:26] since they usually have a _ in them [05:10] Hi guys, I need help with setting up a tv tuner could anyone be of assistance? === zcutlip_ is now known as zcutlip [23:16] Hello, I'm having basically this problem: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mythtv/+bug/1005224 and was wondering if there's any news or known workarounds? There was a fair amount of discussion of it on the list in the april/may timeframe but not as much recently [23:16] [bugs.launchpad.net] Bug #1005224 “Video frame buffering failed too many times” : Bugs : “mythtv” package : Ubuntu [23:18] Weirdly it only affects one of my 2 HD-PVRs, only live tv, and regardless whether the other is in use. [23:18] both HD-PVRs have been updated to the latest firmware. 0x1e, I believe [23:19] I'm running Mythbuntu 12.04 and and tracking Mythbuntu's 0.25-fixes [23:55] oh, that issue is easy to fix :) [23:56] just rewring a few seconds [23:56] rewind
