nettingsaggraef, rgareus: ok, both cams survive after 8 hours of constant streaming. sinks are still up, too.07:47
nettingsbut a/v are about 10s out of sync...07:50
nettingsrgareus, funny: the dv dump to disk is in sync. the stream isn't. so it happens in the encoding chain...07:59

nettingslooks like with both cams running at 16bit audio rather than 12, the sync problem is at least less obvious.... still seems to be good after 5 minutes.09:14
rgareus'morning09:39
rgareusgreat news  in general09:39
rgareusnettings: what is the complete encoder command?09:40
rgareusmaybe the encoder drops some idendical video-frames (the audio will be early)09:41
nettingsrgareus, morning.09:41
nettingsdvsink-command -h localhost -p 5675 -- \09:42
nettings  ffmpeg -f dv -i - -s 360x288 -b:v 180k -b:a 48k -f webm -avoid_negative_ts 1 - \09:42
nettings  | icefwd -f webm lacstreamer.stackingdwarves.net09:42
rgareusor the video encoder is not fast enough...09:42
nettingscould be. i've seen one cpu maxed occasionally. but then it should just drop video frames, no?09:43
rgareusthat could explain the A/V sync09:43
rgareusnettings: did you disable the CPU freq scaling?09:43
nettingsno. didn't work on this box.09:45
nettingscpufreqd runs, but cpufreqd-set complains about no socket found...09:47
rgareushow about ffmpeg2theora  ? did you abandon that ?09:49
rgareusthe encoder commandline looks good09:49
nettingsfor now,  yes.09:50
rgareusso it's either a bug in ffmpeg  or  CPU spike09:50
rgareus(or both)09:50
nettingsaw shit. firewire stack gets so confused after a camera went to standby, it needs rebooting. no busreset helps, and firewire-ohci can't be unloaded, either.09:50
rgareuswe didn't have that before.09:51
nettingsrgareus, but isn't there a "hard frame drop" option for the encoder somewhere?09:51
nettingsrgareus, the manpages i have don't seem to correspond to the ffmpeg used... :(09:51
rgareusnettings: use the built-in documentation09:52
rgareusffmpeg --help full   # or something   or google it09:52
nettingsah yes, thanks.09:53
nettingsrgareus, still, that's only a command reference. quite terse...09:53
rgareusnettings: how long does it take before the A/C sync becomes noticable?09:56
rgareusnettings: can you offline encode a short dump from disk using the same command?09:57
rgareuscat dump.dv | ffmpeg -f dv -i - -s 360x288 -b:v 180k -b:a 48k -f webm -avoid_negative_ts 1 - > dump.webm09:57
rgareusand check that the file is OK.09:57
nettingsrgareus, not now, need to catch a train...09:58
rgareusL09:58
rgareusK09:58
nettingsthere are dv dumps in /local/09:59
nettingsfwiw.09:59
rgareusfound them10:00
rgareusweird locale10:00
rgareusls -l prints 17.03.2015  as date. that look soooo wrong10:01
nettingsnot my machine... manjaro linux. nice if you know how to use it :)10:01
nettingsi dont :(10:01
rgareusa couple of our scripts may fall over10:01
rgareusanyway i'll check a short one lac15-17-08-56-03.dv 49MB10:02
rgareuscatch your train. I'll talk to you later10:03
nettingsguess i got it.10:10
nettingsneeds an audio source attached first, to pin the sample rate. cams are not reliable.10:10
rgareuswhat ? the train or the error?10:10
nettingserror.10:10
nettingstrain, not sure :)10:10
nettingstalk later?10:10
rgareusyes10:10

nettingsaaaah. umts on the train sucks soo bad.11:43
* nettings wonders about the doppler shift of a 1.8ghz carrier at 300 km/h... should be negligible, no?11:45
rgareusnettings: E/M wave?   c is constant. always fixed. There's no such thing as doppler11:55
rgareuswell, you do get a red-shift.11:56
rgareusbut really. speed of light is orders of magntitude faster than your train11:57
AndreeeCZ_what train is that :-O11:59
rgareusthe earth itself has a much higher speed12:00
rgareusnettings: the problem is likley the train's repeater.  the train moves to cell-phone cells too fast. So they tunnel all traffic via some custom line.d12:03

drobillaOh, boo hoo, the internet on your 300km/h train isn't ideal :P15:57
rgareusdrobilla: did you arrange travel already?16:06
rgareusdrobilla: will you be around in time for the pre-conference drinks (wed night)?16:07
*** muldjord has quit IRC16:08
drobillargareus: No... I'm stuck waiting on schedule info from my advisor... and balking at trying to figure out a meandering patth home... :/16:12
drobillaI really don't feel like planning right now, I might just arrive and leave for the conf16:12
drobillargareus: Wasn't planning on coming early, but I can see if a flight works out16:12
rgareusdrobilla: since the conference starts thursday morning. arriving late on wed does make sense,  doesn't it?16:13
drobillargareus: oh, right.   Yeah, I should be in Wed at some point16:14
rgareusI don't know if albert already sent out an email, but there'll be a pre-conference drink/dinner starting 8pm ... on Wed16:15
rgareussame place where the sound-night will be (on campus)16:15
rgareusthe bar's called "the Baron"16:16
rgareusaggraef: can we update the "on campus" part at http://lac.linuxaudio.org/2015/travel ?16:18
LAbotTitle: LAC 2015: Travel & Stay [Linux Audio Conference] (at lac.linuxaudio.org)16:18
rgareusaggraef: unless I'm missing something the Baron is not included there, nor explicitly shown on the JGU campus map16:19
rgareusopen-street-maps however knows about it.16:20
drobillaThere's a link to the site which has the address16:22
rgareus18 degC  summer has arrived.16:44
falktxwhere is that?16:46
*** wargreen has quit IRC16:51
drobillaWe had a +8 tease the other week, then -14 again, as it usually goes16:55
drobilla-2 now, but in spring around here, that's pretty much t-shirt weather :)16:55
falktx-14 ?16:57
falktxis that C or F ?16:57
nettingsfalktx: with canadians, it's probably °R :-P17:04
*** wargreen has joined #lac201517:04
drobillaWe use sensible units like the rest of the world except 'merka, thank you very much :P17:05
falktxso -14 C? that is indeed cool17:05
* drobilla uses the googles to see what -14F would be17:06
drobilla-25C.  That would be unusual in March17:07
rgareusnettings: I checked with   cat | ffmpeg > out.webm   # but only the short file so far. that's in sync.17:40
rgareusnettings: on the upside the lac-title tool still works.17:42
rgareushttp://robin.linuxaudio.org/tmp/lac15_test.webm17:42
rgareuspretty static. I'll have to think up an anmimation sequence.17:43
rgareusthe CCRMA & Stanford logos lend themselves a lot better for animation17:49
rgareuswe need some small movement. that helps a lot to see the stream is rolling even if in standby.17:50

drobillargareus: Well, tues. happens to be the cheapest time to leave anyway, though arrival wed. 7am, so whether I'm still awake or vaguely coherent by dinner is very much in question :)20:54

aggraefrgareus: I'm currently busy with proceedings and various other things, will have a look asap.23:14
aggraefrgareus: But I'm not sure that they have rooms for the general public at all, they are not a hotel.23:16
aggraefrgareus: And we already booked all rooms there that we could get for our guests.23:17
aggraefrgareus: oops, sorry, I just noticed that you were talking about the Baron, not the B. Wischmann house23:25
aggraefrgareus: yeah, i'll look into that if I find the time23:26
aggraefrgareus: in any case, we are preparing a map which will be in the printed info for participlants, with all the venues including the Baron clearly marked23:27
drobillaSpeaking of logistics, how irresponsible is it to show up at the Frankfurt airport without plans and assume some kind of train will get me to Mainz in relatively short order?23:36

aggraefdrobilla: shouldn't be a big problem, at least during the day23:49
aggraefdrobilla: you can check the schedule here (in English): http://www.bahn.de/p_en/view/index.shtml23:50
LAbotTitle: bahn.de - Your online travel booking tool (at www.bahn.de)23:50
drobillaaggraef: OK, thanks23:52
* drobilla is trying to eliminate things to be stressed out about :)23:52
aggraefdrobilla: look for trains going from "Frankfurt(M) Flughafen Fernbf" to "Mainz Hbf"23:53
aggraefdrobilla: there are fast trains (ICE), but they're expensive23:53
aggraefdrobilla: and slow but cheap ones (S-Bahn)23:53
aggraefdrobilla: np, you're welcome. and don't stress out -- at least not before I do ;-)23:54
drobillaaggraef: I doubt the slowest trains you have are as slow as the only ones we do :)23:55
drobillaI'm a PhD student, being maximally stressed out is essentially my job.  Just attempting to keep the dread of having to plan trips and deal with unfamiliar circumstances and so on from pushing that well into the realm of even less sustainable.23:59
* drobilla votes May next time, please23:59
