| ChinnoDog | Is there any way to watch Netflix streaming video without a virtual machine running Windows? | 01:37 |
|---|---|---|
| BeckySanderlin_x | I dont netflix. so i cant help you | 01:38 |
| mikedep334 | ChinnoDog, sadly I doubt moonlight can work on the netflix website | 01:38 |
| mikedep334 | maybe if boxee found a way in their linux distro | 01:38 |
| mikedep334 | you could replicate it | 01:38 |

| BeckySanderlin_x | ChinnoDog, what type of movies do you netflix? | 01:39 |
| mikedep334 | hmm, moonlight can't do it because it doesn't support DRM | 01:39 |
| ChinnoDog | BeckySanderlin_x: all sorts. The library is pretty big. When my xbox was set up I watched movies on it frequently | 01:54 |
| ChinnoDog | mikedep334: So, VM only? :-( | 01:54 |
| BeckySanderlin_x | hmm | 01:55 |
| mikedep334 | ChinnoDog, maybe boxee box's variant of ubuntu has something | 01:55 |
| pleia2 | ChinnoDog: I'm just waiting for Chrome to support netflix | 01:56 |
| pleia2 | (there are rumors of a netflix version for html5 in chrome) | 01:57 |
| ChinnoDog | I saw the rumor but I want to watch TV now, not in the unforseen future | 01:57 |
| ChinnoDog | Ok, forgive my ignorance.. what exactly is boxee? | 01:57 |
| pleia2 | I watch netflix on my phone | 01:57 |
| pleia2 | and my tv | 01:58 |
| pleia2 | both of which run linux kernels, which makes me kind of sad that it doesn't work on my desktop :) | 01:58 |
| ChinnoDog | Where do you get the streaming Netflix app? | 01:58 |
| ChinnoDog | (for your phone) | 01:58 |
| pleia2 | android store | 01:58 |
| pleia2 | market | 01:58 |
| pleia2 | whatever it is | 01:58 |
| pleia2 | just searched for netflix | 01:58 |
| ChinnoDog | I searched for "netflix" but there aren't any official apps, and the rest look like queue managers | 01:58 |
| pleia2 | came out last month | 01:58 |
| pleia2 | https://market.android.com/details?id=com.netflix.mediaclient&hl=en | 01:59 |
| pleia2 | what version of android does your phone run? | 02:00 |
| ChinnoDog | Not compatible with my phone :0 | 02:00 |
| pleia2 | aw | 02:00 |
| ChinnoDog | It runs 2.3 now | 02:00 |
| ChinnoDog | Anyway, back to watching it on my Ubuntu desktop... Boxee? What is it? | 02:01 |
| ChinnoDog | PennBot: boxee? | 02:01 |
| PennBot | Wish I knew! | 02:01 |
| pleia2 | http://www.boxee.tv/ | 02:02 |
| PennBot | Title: Boxee - Watch Movies, TV Shows and clips from the Internet on your TV. (at www.boxee.tv) | 02:02 |
| pleia2 | it's a device | 02:02 |
| pleia2 | you can buy them, or make them with hardware you buy | 02:02 |
| ChinnoDog | I'm reading that. But, there is also a pic of a phone with the boxee logo on it | 02:02 |
| ChinnoDog | I could build an ultra low footprint Windows VM for watching Netflix but that seems silly | 02:05 |
| ChinnoDog | oh. Well, my monitor has a VGA cable on it. I could just be lazy and plug the VGA cable into my laptop and play movies from there | 02:06 |
| ChinnoDog | lazy++ | 02:07 |
| ChinnoDog | That will be good for now. | 02:07 |
| ChinnoDog | need food | 02:10 |

| teddy-dbear | that's better | 02:14 |
| ChinnoDog | I have that too but it isn't dinner | 02:16 |
| teddy-dbear | it is for me! :-D | 02:17 |
| InHisName | Not dinner time anymore | 10:37 |
| rmg51 | almost breakfast time | 10:39 |
| JonathanD | Morning. | 11:00 |
| InHisName | Now, its breakfast time, JonathanD has said Morning. | 11:16 |
| JonathanD | :) | 11:16 |
| rmg51 | morning JonathanD | 11:23 |
| rmg51 | breakfast time | 11:23 |
| JonathanD | morning rmg51 | 11:23 |

| waltman | JonathanD: I need to catch a 7:37 AM train tomorrow morning :( | 12:47 |
| waltman | Amazingly, according to Septa's schedule, they actually run trains at that hour! | 12:50 |
| jthan | Morning everyone | 12:53 |
| JonathanD | waltman: heh :) | 12:59 |
| waltman | JonathanD: I mean, who knew? | 13:07 |
| InHisName | Breakfast DONE ! and it is still such a fine morning, been outside yet to yenjoy? | 13:39 |
| n2diy | I prefer to get my hard drives curbside, the're free. | 14:03 |
| andrew | wootoff | 14:09 |
| n2diy | Looks interesting, thanks. | 14:14 |
| JonathanD | I should get that TV. WOuld make an ok monitor :) | 14:14 |
| n2diy | I haven't hooked up a computer to a TV since my Commodore 64 days, what would you need to use that TV as a monitor? | 14:21 |
| JonathanD | n2diy: why not? | 14:52 |
| JonathanD | LCD TVs make perfectly acceptable monitors. | 14:52 |
| InHisName | Hmmmm, 60" monitor ! | 14:55 |
| andrew | 108" or bust | 14:56 |
| n2diy | JonathanD, because I haven't owned a TV since 2001. What would you need to hook up a TV to a computer now a days? | 15:25 |
| JonathanD | n2diy: they aren't just TVs anymore. | 15:25 |
| JonathanD | It's not like the old days, where you did some sort of conversion to RCA or Svid | 15:26 |
| JonathanD | n2diy: The connection is over VGA. It's a "real monitor" | 15:26 |
| n2diy | JonathanD, so, the TV would have an VGA connector on it, or SVGA? | 15:27 |
| JonathanD | 15 pin SVGA. | 15:29 |
| JonathanD | You can then use it at it's native resolution (or any other supported res) as a normal monitor. | 15:30 |
| n2diy | JonathanD, Is that a D connector, or the round, yellow PS2 style connector? | 15:31 |
| JonathanD | n2diy: thats the blue D connector. | 15:31 |
| JonathanD | same as any monitor. | 15:31 |
| JonathanD | The other you are thinking of is svideo, which is much lower quality output. | 15:32 |
| n2diy | JonathanD, This is a cool, I'll have to look into it, I'm setting up a computer for my landlord, and he has bad eyesight, so I'm sure he'd rather use is TV than any monitor. | 15:33 |
| n2diy | is/his | 15:33 |
| JonathanD | if the TV is suitable, it may work for you. | 15:43 |
| rhpot1991 | pleia2: thanks for the help the other day | 16:25 |
| pleia2 | sure thing | 16:26 |
| waltman | pleia2: Did you see that the Philadelphia Zoo has BABY VAMPIRE BATS? | 16:34 |

| pleia2 | I did! | 16:36 |
| pleia2 | so cute :) | 16:36 |
| waltman | tiny little fangs! | 16:36 |
| pleia2 | for drinking blood! | 16:36 |
| pleia2 | (and momma bat milk) | 16:36 |
| waltman | It's been too long since I've been to the zoo :( | 16:37 |
| waltman | This time of year I see the Zoo Balloon every morning on my way in on the train | 16:38 |
| pleia2 | it's a good zoo, they put in a new big cats exhibit a few years ago that's quite nice | 16:42 |
| pleia2 | no more elephants though :( | 16:42 |
| waltman | :( | 16:43 |
| pleia2 | sf zoo doesn't have elephants anymore either, have to go to oakland for them | 16:43 |
| pleia2 | turns out they don't do very well in small enclosures, so zoos which are keeping their elephants have had to invest a lot in upgrading their homes | 16:44 |
| waltman | Wow, not only two baseball teams, but two zoos, too? | 16:44 |
| pleia2 | yeah! | 16:45 |
| pleia2 | I haven't been to the oakland zoo yet | 16:45 |
| pleia2 | but I am going to an A's game tomorrow evening :) | 16:45 |
| waltman | Yay! | 16:45 |
| waltman | (even if it is just the Royals...) | 16:47 |
| pleia2 | the best A's game I went to was when they were playing the mariners :) | 17:01 |
| pleia2 | before Ken Griffey, Jr retired! | 17:02 |
