len-dtzequence, holstein idjc for internet casting... where in the menu should it end up? Right now it is in networking.05:24
Lump|AFKthat can vary with the os len-dt 05:28
len-dtit is a mixer more than anything with playlisting and netcasting added to it. It can do local podcast or DJing though there may be better SW for that... on the other hand it is not so picky as MIxxx about video drivers05:28
Lump|AFKlook in internet on some05:28
len-dtLump|AFK, I am just thinking about where in our menu it should be.05:29
Lump|AFKand i am hereish at best05:29
Lump|AFKwell if my 2 cents is worth anything05:29
Lump|AFKaudio05:29
Lump|AFKthat is where i think most would look for it05:29
len-dtIt is certainly an audio application05:29
Lump|AFKsome builds like mint maybe multimedia05:29
len-dtWe have audio production.05:30
Lump|AFKmight be a good thought to add streaming to the production list05:30
Lump|AFKand list stuff for it there05:30
Lump|AFKthough production certainly makes sense05:31
Lump|AFKand i am thinking on the fly while doing a few more installs on the other machine05:31
len-dtWe could have a sub menu of audio production for DJing stuff in general.05:31
Lump|AFKfor what it is worth, Tango puts it under Internet as well05:32
Lump|AFKthat makes even more sense len05:32
Lump|AFKsince it really is a blend of internet and production05:32
len-dtAnything that uses the Deb packages probably would.05:32
* Lump|AFK likes deb05:33
Lump|AFKbut deb don't seem to like idjc on my most recent attempt05:33
Lump|AFKbut, to be fair, i didn't even try and tweak it05:33
len-dtThe desktop file it came with says: Categories=GNOME;Network;05:34
=== Lump|AFK is now known as Lump|hereish
Lump|hereishi dunno05:34
Lump|hereishtechnically correct05:34
Lump|hereishin the sense that the internet is a network05:34
len-dtYa, but I had to go looking for it :) I expected it to be in some audio menu.05:35
Lump|hereishbut most end users would likely, imho, be thinking lan or wan only05:35
Lump|hereishyeah, i agree05:35
Lump|hereishi look in audio first for it05:35
Lump|hereishthen internet05:35
len-dtNetwork ends up in the Internet menu.05:35
Lump|hereisha "streaming" option might be the best comprimise05:36
Lump|hereishthen others could add video stuff to it as well05:36
Lump|hereishbut i am not sure how that menu stuff auto sets05:37
Lump|hereishi am a total noob to dev stuff05:38
Lump|hereishi just hack stuff as i need05:38
len-dtYa, we are trying for the best compromise of stock, where people would look for it and setting the distro specific stuff a little apart.05:38
Lump|hereishand am thankful there are rooms like this05:38
Lump|hereishwell that in mind, maybe we should think about adding streaming in internet and not audio05:39
len-dtMost of the menu we have now is mine and zequence work. Based on what was there when we used gnome for a desktop.05:39
Lump|hereishthink about the life streamers05:39
Lump|hereishthe video folks and such05:39
Lump|hereishthey may more likely look in internet05:39
Lump|hereishnot audio05:39
Lump|hereishoediv05:40
Lump|hereishdrat05:40
len-dtI can put it in both if it really needs to be05:40
Lump|hereishi am on the fence on putting stuff in both05:40
Lump|hereishi like it05:40
Lump|hereishbut i dunno how other feel about it05:40
len-dtMost of us too.05:40
Lump|hereishbrb05:41
Lump|hereishi don't mind the recundancy05:41
Lump|hereishbut05:42
Lump|hereishmy BA is in psychology05:42
Lump|hereishand we could invite memory interference with it and make it less pleasent for the user05:42
Lump|hereishfollow?05:42
Lump|hereishand i am assuming the goal would be to make it better for the end user05:43
len-dtIf it is confusing where it is, then it should be moved... if it is expected where it is then it should stay... is what we try for.05:43
Lump|hereishwith that in mind, i still think Internet/streaming may have some merit05:44
Lump|hereishbut what you would need is user feedback on it05:44
len-dtIf we were to leave the menu stock, then the multimedia menu would have so much stuff in it nothing could be found.05:44
Lump|hereishfor myself that seems the most logical05:44
Lump|hereishi know, i have felt that way in past versions05:44
len-dtAnyway I won't change it tonight.05:45
Lump|hereishntl, it is, in how the production happens05:45
Lump|hereishinternet first05:45
Lump|hereishbut still audio05:46
* Lump|hereish hates this keyboard05:46
Lump|hereishi think it is a remnant from a 28605:46
len-dtThis one is for sure, I buoght if for use with a 286 MB05:47
Lump|hereishi am installing 11.04 on the dual core atm05:47
Lump|hereishso i have no synergy05:47
Lump|hereishthis keyboard is pretty close to a typewriter05:48
len-dtNot that it matters, but what do you use it for?05:48
len-dt(synergy)05:48
Lump|hereishI run the single core for irc and use synergy to have only one keyboard and trackball05:48
len-dtI know what it does, but how does that help with casting?05:48
Lump|hereishwell, i don't have very new machines05:48
Lump|hereishso spreading the chat load to an older machine, and email and other such stuff helps05:49
Lump|hereishi let the older machine handle chat and less critical stuff05:49
Lump|hereishi use the newer, lol, 1999 machine handle the casting and such05:49
len-dtMine is new then it is only 8 or 9 years old!05:50
Lump|hereishi run the lates mint xfce on the single core05:50
Lump|hereishbrb05:51
len-dtI have a 98 or 99 laptop with a minimal system, but my kids want to play games with it... only 256 meg on the P36605:52
len-dtWhen I off load stuff like that I normally either do ssh -Y or ssh in a terminal.05:53
Lump|hereishback with synergy running05:55
Lump|hereishlen, more or less, it lets me have 4 monitors with one keyboard and mouse, in my case a trackball05:56
len-dtAh, you use the monitors connected to the four boxes.05:56
Lump|hereishno two boxes with nvidia dual heads on each05:57
Lump|hereishbut the same end result05:57
len-dtOK, but the idea still makes sense that way.05:57
Lump|hereishexactly05:57
len-dtI was thinking only one monitor.05:58
Lump|hereishand synergy was one of the reasons for the upgrade05:58
Lump|hereishthe new mint needs the beta05:58
Lump|hereishthe 10.04 studio did not care for synergy much05:58
Lump|hereishwould crash on shift alt or ctrl05:58
len-dtOn your casting rig do you use voip?05:58
Lump|hereishnot atm05:59
Lump|hereishi have used skype in the past but teamspeak is more better gooder since i host it on my server05:59
Lump|hereishatm i use a third PC, either my net book or my GF lappy and just patch it via my old mixer05:59
Lump|hereishwhich is why i would like pulse to work06:00
Lump|hereishts default is pulse06:00
len-dtSo netspeak is the only non-jack app then06:00
len-dtPulse should work.06:00
Lump|hereishteamspeak, and i am not sure if it non-jack only06:01
len-dt I have used it sort of the same06:01
Lump|hereishfrom what i read, "in theory" it should06:01
len-dtI configure the pulse-jack bridge _not_ to autoconnect06:01
Lump|hereishbut, this last build is the first time i tried it in years06:01
Lump|hereishyeah, that is what i always did in the past06:02
Lump|hereishare you familar with the ultimate desktop series?06:02
len-dtThen I set up the connections manually .06:02
Lump|hereishi haven't tried that06:02
len-dtThe auto connect on mine tries to connect to 10 i/os06:02
Lump|hereishlost me with 10 i/os06:03
len-dtIt is a real mess.06:04
Lump|hereishbut, in the past, i used to exorcise pulse on studio and tango06:04
len-dtI have a D66 which is 6 inputs /outputs, but the chip is able to have 12 in and 10 out06:04
Lump|hereishnice06:05
Lump|hereishi still use a sblive06:05
Lump|hereishbut i want to get a better card, more likely, external in the future06:05
len-dtOk, I have found I have to start jack first.06:06
len-dtIf jack is started as jackd the pulse bridge doesn't start.06:07
Lump|hereishalways start jack first06:07
Lump|hereisher I always....06:07
Lump|hereishand not always true06:07
len-dtmy version of idjc will start jack if it is not already running.06:07
Lump|hereishmy issue started when pulse started to enter into the mix06:07
Lump|hereishand i always start jack first06:08
Lump|hereishholstein's suggestion on the misc tab helped06:08
Lump|hereishbut i never start idjc with out jack starting first06:09
Lump|hereishi learned, just like you, the same years ago06:09
Lump|hereishi don't think any of them will len06:09
len-dtYa, thing is the pulse jack bridge takes a lot of CPU. 06:09
Lump|hereishi don't recall any version of idjc starting jack on the user's behalf06:10
len-dtIf jack is running 10% CPU, adding pulse to the mix makes it go up to 30%06:10
Lump|hereishtru dat06:10
Lump|hereishand cpu is one of my limitations06:10
len-dtCPU use varies with latency06:11
Lump|hereishthat too i get06:11
Lump|hereishbut one of the advantages of being stuck with hardware for years it that you know what to set where with in the limitation06:12
Lump|hereishtbh honest and fair, my desire for the bridge may likely be a pipe dream06:12
Lump|hereishbut i stil want to explore it06:12
len-dtwith jack/pulse and idjc running I am at about 20%06:12
Lump|hereishi wish i could say anything close to that06:13
Lump|hereishwith jack, meter bridge, irc (for bot report to channel) and idjc, I do at least 60%06:14
Lump|hereishthen again, i don't fret 100% so long as low latency is running06:14
Lump|hereishmy browser may feeze but the stream usually just keeps going06:14
Lump|hereishnever really an issue unless graphics get laggy06:15
Lump|hereishand that usually does not happen with 128 kbps mp3s06:15
Lump|hereishit can happen when i am on the mic06:15
Lump|hereishbut i just improv and talk more06:15
len-dtI'm now at 30%06:15
len-dtI have audacious running and feeding the voip input to idjc06:16
* Lump|hereish is envious06:17
len-dtI am probably not streaming though as I have yet to set it up.06:17
Lump|hereishi will talk to you about that aspect more shortly after christmas06:18
Lump|hereishi don't wanna mess anything my tech guy set up06:18
Lump|hereishbut06:18
Lump|hereishi can set you up with a stream channel to connect to for test purposes06:18
Lump|hereishi have ten with centanova cast06:19
Lump|hereishshort of your actual pc06:19
len-dtOk, but I will set up a server here first to make sure I know what I am about :)06:19
Lump|hereishit would give you the same exact envirionment i have06:19
Lump|hereishoh sweat it not len06:19
Lump|hereishmy tech guy is awesome06:20
Lump|hereishever hear of Google+ canopy?06:20
Lump|hereishoops06:21
Lump|hereishhangout canopy would be the right term06:21
* Lump|hereish don't do hangouts, his PC turns into Linda Blaire06:21
len-dtNope.06:21
Lump|hereishwell, more or less, one of his gigs is working for google06:22
Lump|hereishwell enough to have interaction with the chief software engineer06:22
Lump|hereishwhich can be taken a number of ways06:22
Lump|hereishthe same engineer actually hailed me a few times06:23
Lump|hereishwhich indicates that they are nothing more than really kewl folks06:23
Lump|hereishall in all, brian is awesome06:23
Lump|hereishand i can get you a stream channel06:23
Lump|hereishi just don'e wanna do it and mess up anything he already has set up06:24
Lump|hereishoh noes.. here it goes again06:24
len-dtGlad it works, I will probably by the time you are ready tried it on my server and be ready for your's06:24
Lump|hereishmy dog is sleeep yelping06:24
Lump|hereishhe never, never barks or growls06:25
Lump|hereishexcept in his sleep and howls06:25
len-dtGotta wonder what he is dreaming about...06:25
Lump|hereishis it within the network rules here to allow one to invite you to another network and channel?06:26
Lump|hereishhe was abused06:26
Lump|hereishhe was a stray06:26
Lump|hereishand currently an 80 pound puppy06:26
Lump|hereishi estimate he is about 10 months old, pit/lab mix06:27
Lump|hereishi figure we found him at about 5-7 months old06:27
Lump|hereishother than him not knowing just how big he is, he is a darn good dog06:28
len-dtHmm, I get xruns when the player switches song06:30
len-dtnothing I can hear, but Jack shows it.06:30
Lump|hereishis telling you the latency?06:31
Lump|hereishI don't get them usually but...06:32
len-dt128 frames... about 6ms06:32
Lump|hereishI try and encode everything i stream at the same exact rates06:32
Lump|hereishand i toss them in a final music folder06:32
Lump|hereishyour xruns /may/ be idjc dealing with different rates06:33
len-dtI'm pretty sure these are all 44.1k but I could be wrong as these are all a mix.06:33
Lump|hereishtoss three or four in the queue that you know are exatly the same and then do three that are all diff and see06:33
len-dtIt could be I am trnascoding everything to 48k or something I didn't check.06:33
len-dtIt seems to be right at the end of the fadeout.06:35
* Lump|hereish tries to rethink just how much 6ms is06:35
Lump|hereishyeah, the fadeout, that is something i have actually been tempted to talk to the developer about06:36
Lump|hereishthat whole 5s, 10s or none crossfader more specifically06:36
Lump|hereishthat would be a nice thing to change regarding idjc06:37
Lump|hereishoff topic granted06:37
len-dtEven fading to no next tune.06:37
Lump|hereishhmm06:38
Lump|hereishthat might actually make sense though06:38
Lump|hereishcorrect me if my reasoning is wrong06:38
Lump|hereishI am a PC06:38
Lump|hereishyou give me a track that is encoded at YY rate06:39
Lump|hereishand the next one is encoded at XX06:39
Lump|hereishso, on the fade, do i not have two rates to process and then send at, possibly, a different raat06:39
Lump|hereisher rate06:39
Lump|hereishin that sense, even if fading to 0006:40
Lump|hereishit would still be different06:40
Lump|hereishor am i way off here06:40
Lump|hereishand i do have to sleep soon06:41
len-dtAudio rate is always locked to 44.1 k because jack is locked to my preamp which is 44.1k06:42
len-dtSo the player decodes the MP3 to raw audio and then the mixed audio goes to the streamer than encodes to whatever the stream is06:43
Lump|hereishkk06:43
Lump|hereishbut what happens on the fade if they are originally different rates06:44
Lump|hereishand i am talking without a player but in idjc queue06:44
len-dtThe idjc que is a player. I get the xrun at change even with no fade.06:45
Lump|hereishkk06:45
len-dtI have the second player turned off now.06:45
len-dtWhen the other player was playing as voip there was no xrun when that changed tune.06:46
len-dtJust to bug me there was no xrun that time06:47
Lump|hereishi dunno for sure06:47
Lump|hereishtoo tired06:48
Lump|hereishneed to sleep and i will be back tomorrow06:48
len-dtYa hard to know. I should shut it down and try slightly higher latency06:48
Lump|hereishoh and you get my reply emai?06:48
len-dtI saw one.06:49
Lump|hereishabuse my digo06:49
len-dtYa thats it06:49
Lump|hereisher diigo06:49
len-dtLooked at it a bit.06:50
len-dtI should go though My YF would like me to spend time there :)06:50
Lump|hereishntl, shortly after the holiday most likely, i am pretty sure certain I can get you a stream to test with06:51
len-dtOk, catch you whenever.06:51
Lump|hereishwhat is my "YF"06:51
Lump|hereishand are other chat network links allowed here06:52
len-dtYf = wife06:53
len-dtIf they make sense I guess.06:53
Lump|hereishlol06:54
Lump|hereishkk06:54
Lump|hereishtalk to you again soon06:54
Lump|hereishnini06:54
len-dtGood night06:54
=== Lump|hereish is now known as Lump|AFK
scott-worklen-dt: sorry, i've been supa busy with family, work, kids. haven't tested out nautilus or thunar. do you still desire someone to look at it?21:29
scott-worki can tell you that i have had trouble with nautilus for at least one full cycle if not two.21:29
scott-workit would seem that i would search for something, it would not find it, i would tell it to search again, and _then_ nautilus would find it21:30
scott-worktaking what you said previous about nautilus only looking in one particular directory (can't remember if it was the /home or the current directory), this makes sense in some ways21:30
scott-worki am presuming then when i tell it to search again, i was telling it to search the entire computer then21:31
len-dtscott-work, the nautilus in question is the "files" version in 13.04. It is quite different than 12.10 and 12.04.21:52
scott-workah, okay. i have a xubuntu 13.04 and a ubuntu studio 13,04 install. do want to me check on either of those and also check catfish on xubuntu 13.04?21:54
len-dtscott-work, sure. xubuntu has thunar (well so do we) and when I tried catfish on xubuntu it has the same problem as on US. I think you have 64bit though so that would be good.21:57
scott-workyes, i have the 64 bit.21:58
scott-workis catfish using "files" as well?21:58
Lump|AFKlucky dog you21:58
Lump|AFKand heyas21:58
* Lump|AFK wants a 64 bit 21:58
len-dtThere is already a bug report on catfish I put in.21:58
len-dtcatfish is a separate program all together.21:58
len-dtit has it's own interface.21:59
scott-workokay, wasn't sure if "files" was the backend they were both using21:59
Lump|AFKisn't catfish just a gui for find and locate?21:59
len-dtscott-work, zequence  the way to have the file manager open with root permitions is to create a *.desktop file that does so. It can be made so it will work with either nautilus or thunar.22:00
len-dtLump|AFK, yes it is, but the new nautilus seems to have lost it's search function so we are looking to replace it.22:01
len-dtWe went from thunar to nautilus because thunar was less stable (seems fixed now) and nautilus had search.22:01
* Lump|AFK would just open up a terminal22:02
Lump|AFKbut i see where you are going22:02
Lump|AFKhey, ever think of adding easy tag to the build?22:02
len-dtnautilus now seems way dumbed down and is missing some features as well as having a new GUI to learn.22:02
len-dtIn ubuntu as a whole, the focus is on user experience and so we try to have a gui for anything the "normal" user might want to do.  :)22:04
Lump|AFKI am not too familar with thunar but i like the fact that you can add commands to it22:04
Lump|AFKand open as root22:04
Lump|AFKMint uses it22:04
len-dtI was unable to find open as root.22:04
len-dtubuntustudio actually has thunar as well22:05
Lump|AFKi believe you need to add it or enable it22:05
Lump|AFKit is there on right click in mint22:05
len-dtI think as I said above it is just a *.desktop file needed to make it work on any file manager.22:05
Lump|AFKnot sure if i added it or that is the way the mint distro came22:05
Lump|AFKbbiaf, gotta check on the bread22:06
len-dtI have seen it before, so I know it comes default in some distros. used to be in KDE (at least when I used Slackware)22:06
* Lump|AFK reinstalled 10.04 studio today22:16
Lump|AFKand guess what22:16
Lump|AFKabsolutely no issue hijacking the stream whatsoever22:16
Lump|AFKhmmm22:17
Lump|AFKmust not be on the server end eh?22:17
Lump|AFKi will double check on a few other distros but i hooke up just fine first attempt22:17
len-dtIt may be a newer version of idjc?22:17
Lump|AFK0.8.1 22:18
Lump|AFKwhich i think is the same as the one in the latest build22:18
Lump|AFKnvrm22:18
Lump|AFKi am wrong22:18
Lump|AFKit is much older actually22:18
Lump|AFKcurrent build comes with 0.8.722:19
Lump|AFKnewsest idjc is 0.8.8 but i could not make it on the newest build22:19
len-dtYa I was about to say that22:19
Lump|AFKi actually like the old interface better22:19
len-dtzequence, the way to make an open as root... is to duplicate exo-file-manager.desktop to root-fileman.desktop and change the exec line from exo-open --launch FileManager %u to gksudo "exo-open --launch FileManager %u"22:21
* len-dt just did and it does work.22:22
len-dtLump|AFK, I have never seen the old interface so I don't know.22:22
Lump|AFKit is not much different than the current except that prefrences, server and jingles are buttons and not a drop down22:25
len-dtzequence, the first time it is run it asks which application it should use... as root doesn't have this set up.22:26
Lump|AFKbut i use server (now output) and preferences a lot 22:26
Lump|AFKso i like buttons and not a roll down22:26
len-dtLump|AFK, the new one (we don't have) has tabs.22:26
Lump|AFKi am going to try and install that one soon22:29
Lump|AFKgoing to get with my nick again... bbiaf22:32
Lump|AFK0.8.4 connects as well in tango studio, again right out of the box, no tweaks cept settings23:20
* Lump|AFK is now officially clueless23:41
Lump|AFKeverything works now23:41
Lump|AFKevery version, every os23:42
Lump|AFKand, technically, i didn't /fix/ anything23:42
len-1304\0/23:42
Lump|AFKwell debian don't work but i never really tried to set that up fully23:43
Lump|AFKmost likely missing a dependancy23:43
Lump|AFKbut len, i have no clue what was /fixed/23:43
len-1304There have been updates in the last two days in 12.0423:44
Lump|AFKi didn't change a setting on the two builds i was trying to get to work on friday23:44
Lump|AFKgo figure23:44
* len-1304 is going to eat.23:44
* Lump|AFK is going to check on bread and the fire23:44
* Lump|AFK will be back later and maybe actually here then...heh23:44
