[18:00]

chreekat: np. hope you find it.

[18:02]

<[g2]>

is xmms in the latest production build ?

[18:22]

<MattJ>

[g2]: I believe so

[18:23]

<Orion-Uk>

Mattj: have a blank 80gig hd here.. gonna try that!...just waiting for firmware to go back to 3.33-1.73-02.814

[18:24]

<MattJ>

Orion-Uk: k

[18:29]

<Orion-Uk>

MattJ: ok....had 73.1gig free on this one... still same problem!....also, (sometimes) sound out of sync... codec issue? (not that i would really know!) just guessing.

[18:34]

<MattJ>

How out of sync?

[18:34]

<MattJ>

Sometimes when I'm watching I get the feeling it is out of sync, but by <1s or so

[18:35]

<Orion-Uk>

half of to a second (sometimes up to second and a half)!

[18:35]

<MattJ>

So barely noticeable unless you study people's lips closely

[18:35]

<Orion-Uk>

well tbh i notice it quite a bit..its kinda like watching a dubed kung fu film ;-)

[18:36]

<MattJ>

:D

[18:36]

<Orion-Uk>

am just reading the post on Important news for osd users about the GUI change atm

[18:36]

<Orion-Uk>

lol

[18:36]

<Orion-Uk>

you had this prob?

[18:37]

<MattJ>

With the audio sync?

[18:37]

<Orion-Uk>

yah

[18:37]

<MattJ>

I think I might, sometimes

[18:38]

<MattJ>

Certainly not on all videos, but occasionally I spot one

[18:39]

<Orion-Uk>

mmm... only had my OSD 4 days so its all new to me, am still checking out all the features. had posted a problem on forum about my network lights..they was not comming on when i got it out of the nox...

[18:39]

<Orion-Uk>

...But..

[18:41]

<Orion-Uk>

after alot of messing around with my hub...then switching to a router to get lights working and reconnecting hub again...the lights came on and the OSD finally had network. spoke to greyback but the situation resolved its self after me connecting to router (no internet) then back to BT Hub only!

[18:41]

<Orion-Uk>

so its been a testing time getting this up and running! lol

[18:41]

<MattJ>

Heh

[18:42]

<MattJ>

Things mostly just worked for me :)

[18:42]

<MattJ>

Had issues at the start, because the IR emitter didn't like to learn my VCR remote yet

[18:42]

<Orion-Uk>

all i gotta do now is work out why outta sync at times and why recording stops (once again, sometimes!)..

[18:42]

<MattJ>

I'll file a bug for it

[18:43]

<MattJ>

(if there isn't one already)

[18:43]

<Orion-Uk>

cool

[18:43]

<Orion-Uk>

as i said am new to it and not confident enuff to know if its just me doing a hommer simpson or its a bug!..lol

[18:44]

<MattJ>

No, I have had the problem, and mcr said he had too

[18:44]

<Orion-Uk>

I also thought it my be part of my setup causing it so im checking my xp/vista and ubuntu systems for performance errors and network errors!

[18:45]

<MattJ>

How often does it happen to you?

[18:45]

<MattJ>

For me it seems something like a 50/50 chance that a recording will cut short, by how long seems random

[18:45]

<Orion-Uk>

have you read the importants news post yet? free CF card sounds gr8t...am still reading through.... the new QT GUI sound great :)

[18:45]

<Orion-Uk>

which problem?

[18:46]

<MattJ>

Yep, I'm writing a program for the new GUI :)

[18:46]

<MattJ>

But I haven't seen it in action yet

[18:46]

<MattJ>

The problem with recordings cutting short

[18:46]

<Orion-Uk>

yah i would more say 60% fail 40% luck ..lol

[18:47]

<Orion-Uk>

it does seem to settle down after a few hours of trying ;-/ lol

[18:47]

hi all

[18:47]

<Orion-Uk>

will press record now n see what happens!

[18:47]

<Orion-Uk>

hi JoeBorn...welcome :)

[18:48]

Orion-Uk: thanks.

[18:48]

<MattJ>

Hi JoeBorn :)

[18:48]

<Orion-Uk>

lol...just noticed the date on the post i was talking about...nov 2007..lol

[18:49]

<MattJ>

Orion-Uk: Let me know, and I'll file the bug :)

[18:49]

<MattJ>

and let me know what firmware version it is

[18:49]

hi JoeBorn !

[18:49]

how's china?

[18:50]

not too bad. had the office party on Sat night.

[18:50]

www.flickr.com

[18:51]

<Orion-Uk>

k. i know nothing about programing... well firmwares i have tried are: 3.33-1.73-03.810 (with old youtube server info) & 3.33-1.73-02.814 (current version)

[18:52]

JoeBorn, what restaurant is that?

[18:52]

I don't remember the name actually, I'd never been there before.

[18:53]

very nice.

[19:11]

<Orion-Uk>

MattJ: seems to have settled again! been recording since we last "spoke" and is still going..lol... its kinda like one of those trips when you book an appointent with the doc but by the time they get to see you , you feel fine again and you feel like they think you was maiking it up and wasting thier time..lol

[19:12]

<Orion-Uk>

dunno what playback will be like!...will see l8trz ;-)

[19:12]

<MattJ>

Orion-Uk: Ok, let me know if you have it again

[19:12]

<MattJ>

Meanwhile I'll try and discover any kind of a pattern in mine

[19:13]

<MattJ>

btw, was it you who asked about being able to browse the OSD from the PC?

[19:14]

<Orion-Uk>

will keep you updated... yah thats right... after that i saw a post by CRWEB about someting he has put together, BUT you need a certain firmware and i was not confident enuff to try it as i was unsure what effect a later upgrade may have!

[19:15]

<MattJ>

The FTP server?

[19:15]

<Orion-Uk>

think so, was a few days ago i read it and i have a goldfish memory ;-> lol

[19:16]

<MattJ>

Same here :)

[19:16]

<Orion-Uk>

will find the link if you want it?

[19:16]

<MattJ>

Sure

[19:16]

<Orion-Uk>

ok.. 1 sec

[19:16]

<MattJ>

I was just going to say that it is possible to browse and download via the web interface

[19:17]

<MattJ>

It is the samba server I will be uploading this week (so you can view the OSD's shares in your file manager)

[19:17]

<Orion-Uk>

wiki.neurostechnology.com think its this one..lol

[19:17]

<Orion-Uk>

yah sounds about right.

[19:18]

<MattJ>

Hmm

[19:18]

<MattJ>

Never seen that post before

[19:19]

<Orion-Uk>

or wiki.neurostechnology.com or open.neurostechnology.com

[19:20]

<MattJ>

The latter is the one I thought you meant

[19:20]

<MattJ>

I don't recommend you try the one that requires reflashing the firmware... it's very old

[19:21]

<Orion-Uk>

k... i rearly get time to fully read stuff as my wife shares my study and constantly talks to me while im reading..i give up in then end...rotflmao!

[19:21]

<MattJ>

lol

[19:21]

<Orion-Uk>

hence im up at 1:21am and shes in bed..lol

[19:22]

<Orion-Uk>

do you have access to your osd hd from win or linux?

[19:23]

<MattJ>

I use the web interface... I can access it from anywhere

[19:23]

<MattJ>

But I use Linux primarily

[19:23]

<Orion-Uk>

ok...sorry for being lazy and not reading the links i just gave you, but is it easy to set up...as a fairly noob..lol

[19:24]

<Orion-Uk>

what disto?

[19:24]

<MattJ>

Ubuntu

[19:24]

<Orion-Uk>

7:10

[19:24]

<Orion-Uk>

?

[19:24]

<MattJ>

Yup

[19:24]

<Orion-Uk>

k

[19:25]

<Orion-Uk>

have that on my other system...just learning it tbh... but the whole thing died when i tried to install beryl.. xserver config error oslt... as i dont know much about linx i decided to go forthe typical "windows user way" of formatting and starting again!..lol

[19:26]

<MattJ>

lol

[19:26]

<MattJ>

Don't install Beryl on 7.10

[19:26]

<Orion-Uk>

i will get there..some day! :-/

[19:26]

<Orion-Uk>

lol

[19:26]

<MattJ>

It has desktop effects already

[19:26]

<MattJ>

Just go to System->Preferences->Appearance

[19:26]

<MattJ>

It lets you configure it

[19:26]

<Orion-Uk>

have tried knoppix fedora opensuse...settled with ubuntu :)

[19:27]

<MattJ>

Ubuntu is the only one that doesn't give me a headache :)

[19:27]

<Orion-Uk>

lol..found out, only after i formatted..rotflmao...oh well, we live n learn..shame its a lil too late for some ppl..lol

[19:27]

<MattJ>

I constantly get told by my Linux-using friends that I can't be a real programmer if I use Ubuntu o_O

[19:28]

<Orion-Uk>

same here tbh... i did like the ease of use... just could not get the xp thinker out of me when learning a new OS..lol

[19:28]

<Orion-Uk>

lol

[19:28]

<Orion-Uk>

so what do REAL programers use? fedora?

[19:28]

<Orion-Uk>

oslt

[19:29]

<MattJ>

Just repeat to yourself "No need to reboot, no need to reformat, no need to reboot, no need to reformat, no need..."

[19:29]

<Orion-Uk>

rotflmao....yah..its kinda like reprograming urself!..lol

[19:29]

<MattJ>

REAL programmers use gentoo, ArchLinux, or something else compile-everything-yourself-based

[19:29]

<MattJ>

Apparently :P

[19:29]

<Orion-Uk>

but ...am deff going back to Ubuntu in the morning...

[19:30]

<MattJ>

I don't blame you... :)

[19:30]

<Orion-Uk>

what really confused me was compiling tbh.. :/

[19:30]

<Orion-Uk>

but i was starting to get places.

[19:30]

<MattJ>

You rarely need to compile anything in Ubuntu

[19:31]

<Orion-Uk>

deff saw a positive need for a linux system compared to xp sys... there is some great opensource apps n stuff out there.. was a bit confusing learning blender after ms 3d apps..lol

[19:32]

<Orion-Uk>

guess...i just like puttining myself out and streaching my knowledge..lol

[19:32]

<Orion-Uk>

you program 4 a living then?

[19:34]

<MattJ>

Orion-Uk: Yeah, kind of

[19:34]

<MattJ>

Working on websites for people

[19:34]

<MattJ>

Not my idea of real programming, but people pay for it :)

[19:34]

<Orion-Uk>

;-)

[19:35]

<MattJ>

and it gives me the flexibility to hack at the same time :)

[19:36]

<Orion-Uk>

i do what i can where i can, from 3d stuff to pc repair and whatever!... dont really have a set area..just help where i can and say no can do if i cant.. mainly been doing pc call outs from home over past few yrs though..

[19:48]

<MattJ>

I posted yesterday about installing the web interface here: groups.google.co.uk

[19:48]

<Orion-Uk>

this confirms it 4 me... am gonna setup ubuntu and try this later 2day...may come 2 u for advice if it ok?

[19:48]

<MattJ>

and:

[19:49]

<MattJ>

here: groups.google.co.uk

[19:49]

<MattJ>

Orion-Uk: Sure

[19:49]

<MattJ>

I won't be around tomorrow morning/afternoon, but maybe in the evening

[19:49]

<MattJ>

I'm guessing you are also from the UK? :)

[19:50]

<Orion-Uk>

how to i copy these links to my browser... clicking on them dont do anything! am new to irc aswell..lol...

[19:50]

<Orion-Uk>

[19:50]

<Orion-Uk>

if i try selecting the txt ..it wont allow me

[19:50]

<MattJ>

Hmm

[19:51]

<MattJ>

What client are you using?

[19:51]

<Orion-Uk>

mIRC (demo)

[19:51]

<MattJ>

Odd

[19:51]

<MattJ>

Never tried mIRC

[19:51]

<Orion-Uk>

v6

[19:51]

<MattJ>

I saw it, and didn't like it :)

[19:51]

<Orion-Uk>

[19:51]

<MattJ>

So I used Miranda

[19:52]

<Orion-Uk>

From the Midlands, UK

[19:54]

<Orion-Uk>

<Orion-Uk>

[19:55]

<MattJ>

k

[20:00]

<Orion-Uk>

[20:01]

<MattJ>

Ok, give me a poke if you need help :)

[20:01]

<Orion-Uk>

anyways... i am normally around.

[20:01]

<MattJ>

If only MattJ100 is here, it means I'm out

[20:01]

<Orion-Uk>

ok...

[20:01]

<MattJ>

MattJ100 is my spy �_�

[20:02]

<Orion-Uk>

what was that irc app u use... not too keen on mIRC (is yours free?)

[20:02]

<Orion-Uk>

lol

[20:02]

<MattJ>

Miranda IM <miranda-im.org

[20:02]

<MattJ>

Free, and open-source

[20:02]

<Orion-Uk>

ty..

[20:02]

<MattJ>

and some of my patches are in it :)

[20:02]

<Orion-Uk>

lets just take a look..brb

[20:02]

<MattJ>

but for the Jabber plugin

[20:03]

<Orion-Uk>

installing now..

[20:04]

<MattJ>

k

[20:04]

<MattJ>

The first thing to do is go to Options->Plugins, and untick all the protocols you don't want (MSN, Yahoo, etc.)

[20:05]

<MattJ>

Possibly leave Jabber selected, and get yourself a Jabber account :)

[20:06]

<Orion-Uk>

asking me to add contacts.. dont have icq (not had for yrs..lol)

[20:06]

<MattJ>

Cancel those... :)

[20:06]

<Orion-Uk>

k

[20:07]

<MattJ>

IRC pops up maybe

[20:07]

<MattJ>

Otherwise, go to the menu and you should see it there

[20:07]

<MattJ>

I was an active member of the community, but now I haven't used Miranda for over a year (it doesn't work on Linux :( )

[20:08]

<MattJ>

Well, it does, but in WINE.. and that's not nice (enough for me)

[20:09]

<Orion-Uk>

irc quick connect does nothing!

[20:09]

<Orion-Uk>

tried to type irc.freenode.net... no luck!

[20:11]

<MattJ>

Hmm

[20:11]

<MattJ>

Did you specify a nickname, other than the one you are using now?

[20:12]

<Orion-Uk>

ok...done nick, entered network & server name but internet address field empty?

[20:13]

<MattJ>

irc.freenode.net

[20:13]

<Orion-Uk>

says please complete all fields... what do i put in internet address?

[20:13]

<MattJ>

irc.freenode.net

[20:13]

<Orion-Uk>

lol

[20:13]

<MattJ>

I think the "Server name" is there to confuse you :)

[20:13]

<MattJ>

I think you put something like "Freenode" there

[20:14]

<Orion-Uk>

wont let me enter data?

[20:15]

<MattJ>

It won't?

[20:15]

<MattJ>

Hmm, I can try installing it here if you like

[20:15]

<MattJ>

Just a sec.

[20:16]

<Orion-Uk>

ok... quick connect box opens, server name is irc.freenode.org:#neuros internet address is irc.freenode.org i hit connect...nothing?

[20:16]

<Orion-Uk>

k

[20:17]

i imagine you should leaove off the :#neuros

[20:19]

<Orion-Uk>

it adds it automatically.... think im connected but have no friends to test it(setup)...lol (how sad do i sound)

[20:20]

<Orion-Uk>

ok, can switch from online to away so must be connected.. just dont have a chat room setup
