bobweaversweet got a comment on youtube channel that says "Man I cannot wait"    for Ubuntu tv that is00:36
h00kwoo02:42
cob-olpis there any forum or mailing list where I could find help concerning ubuntu tv installation06:08
mhall119cob-olp1: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-tv has a mailinglist12:50
cob-olp1I know, but it is rather for ideas only12:51
mhall119it's for any kind of discussion12:52
mhall119same as this IRC channel12:52
cob-olp1there is not a lot of discussion here :)12:53
cob-olp1but I will try there if it is as you wrote12:54
cob-olp1hope to get some help12:54
mhall119cob-olp1: it's still early in the USA, and I think our British friends are still on Holiday due to the Queen still being alive and all12:55
bobweavercob-olp1,  what is up I can help12:55
* bobweaver is Ubuntu TV expert 12:56
cob-olp1I have still the same problem with ubuntu tv on my panda12:56
bobweaverpanda12:56
bobweavererr12:56
cob-olp1there are only tutorials for pc12:56
bobweavercob-olp1,  how close can you get12:56
bobweavercan I ssh in ?12:56
cob-olp1directly to my panda?12:57
bobweaveryes12:57
bobweaverthe machine/board that is hosting Ubuntu TV12:57
cob-olp1hmm, I suppose that I have only to redirect port on my gateway12:58
bobweavercool or if you have teamviewer we could have a meeting12:58
bobweaverso I can only view and not touch12:58
bobweaverothers can also then join in and we will have are 1st ever Ubuntu TV session12:59
cob-olp1shh should not be a problem, but starting from Monday12:59
cob-olp1I have to leave quite soon12:59
bobweaveryes history 1st plz12:59
cob-olp1and I am out till Monday12:59
ogra_cob-olp1, iirc öinaro did the panda port, i would ask there12:59
bobweavercob-olp1,  I am -0400 UTC12:59
ogra_err #linaro12:59
bobweaverI will be out from 13:00 too about 16:0013:00
bobweaverogra_,  idea is also great13:00
cob-olp1I am UTC+213:00
ogra_also you need to make sure to have all the codecs for the SoC before ubuntu-tv can work13:00
ogra_TI didnt provide these for the 12.04 oanda builds13:01
cob-olp1and this may be my problem13:01
ogra_*panda13:01
cob-olp1now I am trying on linaro 11.1013:01
ogra_i know they plan to release them in their arm PPA together with a 3.4 kernel though, probably ask in #pandaboard about the "when" :)13:02
cob-olp1when you say that they will release them, what does this mean?13:03
cob-olp1that they will be integrated into linaro?13:03
cob-olp1or this still has to be done manualy13:03
cob-olp1at one of the steps I do this "sudo apt-get install libegl1-sgx-omap4-dev libgles2-sgx-omap4-dev"13:04
ogra_that gives you the 3D GLES drivers ... not related to codecs13:04
cob-olp1and this " sudo apt-get install ubuntu-omap4-extras-multimedia"13:04
cob-olp1so I suppose that these may be the codecs?13:05
ogra_well, related as in, the codecs *use* this driver ... but the codecs themselves arent available13:05
ogra_ubuntu-omap4-extras-multimedia is actually the meta to install the codecs ... but if these arent there its just a no-op13:05
ogra_though for 11.10 there should be codec packages13:06
ogra_so i guess your best bet is #linaro ... ask rsalveti, i think he rolled the tv stuff for arm13:06
cob-olp1I know that rsalveti managed to run ubuntu tv on 11.1013:06
cob-olp1:)13:06
cob-olp1I can not catch him13:07
ogra_he is in brazil, be patient :)13:07
ogra_probably not up yet (and there was linaro connect in hongkong ... he is likely still heavily jetlagged)13:08
cob-olp1I am trying since some weeks, but maybe not hard enough13:08
ogra_well, last week was connect ... its unlikely to catch people during conferences :)13:09
cob-olp1I did not want to disturb him, he is bussy probably13:09
ogra_pfft ... he gets paid to be busy :)13:09
cob-olp1I do not pay him to help me :)13:10
ogra_indeed13:10
cob-olp1maybe I have to?13:10
ogra_you could try ... start with me though :P13:10
ogra_j/k indeed13:10
cob-olp1j/k?13:10
ogra_just kidding13:11
cob-olp1ahh13:11
cob-olp1however, if it is ok for you, bobweaver or anyone, of course I can give you ssh access13:12
cob-olp1if you want to try directly13:12
cob-olp1and if ssh works on panda13:13
ogra_sure it does13:14
cob-olp1ok, so it should not be a problem13:14
cob-olp1but unfortunately from Monday13:15
cob-olp1sorry, even Tuesday :(13:15
ogra_well, i bet you reach ricardo until then13:15
cob-olp1ricardo?13:17
ogra_rsalveti ...13:17
* rsalveti reading backlog13:18
ogra_haha13:18
ogra_see, i told you :)13:18
* rsalveti mostly dead, due jet lag 13:18
rsalveti:-)13:18
cob-olp1:)13:18
ogra_:)13:18
rsalveti11 hours difference, crazy13:18
rsalvetithere's a branch to make ubuntu tv to work based on precise13:19
rsalvetiso you don't need to remove the old stuff, but then you don't have hw decode support yet13:19
rsalvetiti got busy by another internal project so they are still behind the schedule to make the components available at the ppa13:19
rsalvetithe best way to try it out would be to get linaro 12.02 (based on oneiric)13:19
rsalvetiand then compile ubuntu tv there, so you can actually use it with hw decode13:20
rsalvetiI really need to create a ppa for this, so people can easily try it out, would be way easier13:20
rsalvetifor precise there's also another change that needs to be done, as it's seems the video meta-data is kind of hardcoded at the branch13:20
ogra_well, we should just get it into the archive :)13:21
ogra_so people dont need PPAs and whatnot13:21
rsalvetiogra_: problem is that I believe it's still breaking unity-2d compatibility13:21
ogra_yeah, likely13:21
rsalvetias it's using the unity-2d code-base still13:21
cob-olp1so the 12.02 is the last with hardware decode?13:21
ogra_well, it has to be ported to 3D anyway13:21
rsalveticob-olp1: yup13:21
rsalvetiogra_: yeah, that should be the one to get into the archive13:21
rsalvetibut I don't know when that port will start13:22
cob-olp1but in fact I have problems with building13:22
rsalveticob-olp1: yup, probably because of the latest unity-2d version used at linaro 12.0213:22
cob-olp1yes13:22
ogra_i think dropping 2d completely wont happen for 12.1013:22
cob-olp1version 513:22
rsalvetiyou'd need to either get the branch compatible with precise, or downgrade unity-2d to the version available at oneiric's archive13:22
ogra_so thats likely a 13.04 task13:22
rsalvetiogra_: yeah =\13:22
cob-olp1so that is why I tried 11.1013:23
cob-olp1but newer releases work much better13:23
cob-olp1however, I suppose that in 11.10 there is still unity 413:24
rsalveticob-olp1: yeah13:24
rsalveticob-olp1: https://code.launchpad.net/~saviq/ubuntutv/precise_merge13:24
rsalvetiI believe this should build fine on 12.02, let me also flash the 12.02 image to give it a try here13:24
Saviqrsalveti, this builds fine, yes, but is not finished13:25
Saviqi.e. it doesn't look/work as it's supposed to13:25
rsalvetiSaviq: hm, ok, what are the issues still?13:25
Saviqrsalveti, there's a bunch, the behavior isn't like it's supposed to be (i.e. dash hides and such)13:26
rsalvetiSaviq: oh, ok13:27
Saviqand the video.lens from 12.04 "conflicts" with our dummy one13:27
rsalvetiSaviq: which branch are you using to demo ubuntu-tv on top of 12.04?13:27
bobweaverrsalveti,  the only thing that I can see is the video lens acting up13:27
Saviqrsalveti, we're not, at all, since we're switching to Nux we don't have time to finish the porting work13:27
Saviqif someone wants to pick up that branch, be my guest, we, unfortunately, have a lot on our hands right now :/13:28
bobweaverSaviq,  there is a workaround for the lens issue thou but you have to re-write cmake files and also depends list ect13:28
bobweaverwould be better is it was made into a scope then attached to the reg video lens13:29
bobweaverIMHO13:29
bobweaversorry about caps :/13:29
rsalvetiSaviq: I remember at uds people demonstrated ubuntu tv on top of precise13:30
rsalvetiand isn't the same demo that they are showing this week at computex?13:30
bobweaverSaviq,  what did you do to make mouse changes in latest branch ?13:30
rsalvetior is it also based on oneiric?13:30
Saviqrsalveti, dunno, had nothing to do with it, sure it was 12.04?13:31
Saviqbobweaver, I enabled mouse interaction, mouse highlights, implemented mouse support for sliders13:32
bobweaverSaviq,  this branch  ? can I get a diff ?13:32
Saviqbobweaver, everything's on LP13:32
bobweaverI know I am lazy and do not want to search thou code13:32
Saviqbobweaver, what exactly do you want?13:32
bobweaverwell I can just purpose to merge you branch and it will get diff file13:33
bobweavercorrect ?13:33
rsalvetiSaviq: hm, could be then that it was still on top of oneiric13:34
bobweaverThat way I can track what you are doing13:34
Saviqbobweaver, you can just go `bzr diff -r959..973` while on the plus_mouse branch13:35
Saviqor use qlog from qbzr and friends13:36
bobweaverSaviq,  every time why not just track it's progress  ?13:36
Saviqalthough following every commit separately will make it easier to grok what's going on13:36
Saviqbobweaver, http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~saviq/ubuntutv/plus_mouse/changes13:36
bobweaverso that I can merge with my branch : )13:36
Saviqyou can merge away, shouldn't be much conflicts13:37
bobweaversweet I am going to know throw it up13:37
bobweaverbad choice of words ^^13:38
cob-olp1what are other panda specific requirements? libegl1-sgx-omap4-dev libgles2-sgx-omap4-dev ubuntu-omap4-extras-multimedia gtstreamer13:39
bobweavercrap I did it wrong13:39
cob-olp1something else?13:39
bobweaverSaviq,  This is a lot if not all QT work. are we or do we have a goal line set to make the switch to NUX ?13:43
bobweaver13.0413:43
Saviqbobweaver, we're not aligned to Ubuntu cycles right now, but yes, the work to switch to Nux is ongoing13:44
bobweavercool thanks so Maybe I should also do some more QT  work as I stoped for a bit because of this whole NUX thingy13:45
bobweaverI do not see why we do not make a real good QT model then move to 3d/nux and have both13:45
Saviqbobweaver, same reason why unity-2d is being dropped - maintaining two is just too much13:46
Saviqwithout apparent gains13:46
bobweaverreal good =  mythtv tie in with tgm4883  scope modified to also pull in other data aka take the place of epg data13:47
cob-olp1nux is something like qt?13:48
bobweaverthis means droping all the xbmc stuff also because we would be able to pull in other data like having Ubuntu One sell data(tv guide ) and also sell movies13:49
bobweavernux is a C++ lib kinda it is a "Drawing " way that intergrates with gtk real well13:50
bobweaverit is in 3 parts13:50
bobweaverlike widget stuff kinda13:50
cob-olp1you mean like making widgets tool?13:51
cob-olp1library is a better word maybe13:52
bobweaverkinda like how it uses layers13:52
bobweaverbobweaver> nux is a C++ lib kinda13:52
cob-olp1I will read about it13:53
bobweaverI have been learning it slowly from here http://unity.ubuntu.com/getinvolved/development/unity/  and other places13:53
cob-olp1is it something like: you have to learn it to make apps for unity-3d or in fact ubuntu-tv?13:54
bobweaverwell there is a lot more to it then that13:54
cob-olp1ok13:55
bobweaverto have the full port or whatever you want to call it. I think the more that I read that it is going to be a lot easier to just make a whole Ubuntutv Unity set13:55
mhall119cob-olp1: ubuntu-tv is going to be built on unity-3d13:56
cob-olp1and now it is built on unity-2d?13:56
bobweaverUnity-2d is QT13:56
mhall119cob-olp1: yes,the CES demo was builton unity 2d and Qt13:56
cob-olp1that is why you are talking about switch13:56
cob-olp1from qt to nux13:57
mhall119exactly13:57
bobweaveryup13:57
cob-olp1today I tried xbmc13:57
cob-olp1looks great13:57
bobweaverit is nice but if you try a nice version of mythbuntu you will see that there is more options but the code is almost the same13:58
bobweaverbut there is plugin for myth that makes it so we can call are framework aka QT NUX whatever13:58
bobweavernot really a plug in but .. would make things kinda easy in the end14:00
bobweaverIMHO I would love to see some flow charts on the table14:00
cob-olp1you mean that mysh can be used as a framework?14:01
bobweaverwell that is yet another thing a database14:01
bobweaverwhat to use to get info faster and should there be sql db or use something else ect14:02
bobweaverI am all for a database thou . Is that what you are talking about ?14:02
cob-olp1are you talking about epg?14:03
cob-olp1sorry, if I write something stupid14:04
bobweaveryea to replace the epg data that is fake right now it wouuld be real nice to make it call to database (myth) and then use there menu but mod it14:04
bobweavermenu|tv guide14:05
bobweaverbut there is a catch14:05
bobweaverthe data that is used well good data in the states you pay for14:05
bobweaverlike 8 usd a year or something small. I say tie that into Ubuntu One and make money !14:05
cob-olp1why epg can not be taken from satellite directly?14:06
cob-olp1*canot14:07
bobweaverwhat satellite ?14:07
cob-olp1not directly14:07
bobweaverwhat rovider14:07
bobweaverprovider14:07
cob-olp1epg is not scrambled I think14:07
bobweaverand then the menu14:08
bobweaverthat is in place is fake but one could add channels easy but that is Hard code work14:08
bobweaverhard coding *14:08
cob-olp1but I do not know if it can be used even thou14:08
cob-olp1I mean to make some database that will be updated from satellite14:09
bobweaverit was a taped 24 hr block14:09
bobweaverI think at all the convention's14:09
cob-olp1and then it will behave as a source for users14:09
SaviqEPG over-the-air is very often very low quality14:09
Saviqe.g. it's the same entry for every single showing of a tv series14:09
Saviqno episode number, no season number, no description, no nothing14:10
Saviqjust title and description of the series14:10
cob-olp1good point14:10
Saviqso we must plan to support external EPG data like Schedules Direct provides14:10
Saviq(not for Europe yet)14:10
cob-olp1in company that I work for in fact we have external epg source14:10
bobweaverWhat about the States ?14:10
Saviqbobweaver, they only have 24hrs of data14:11
SaviqEurope usually has a week, but low quality14:11
bobweaverenable eit scramble14:11
Saviqhence Schedules Direct http://www.schedulesdirect.org/14:12
bobweaverYes ^^ tie that into Ubuntu One14:12
Saviqbobweaver, there's not much EIT so there's not much to scramble14:12
cob-olp1scramble present/following?14:12
Saviqcob-olp1, why would you?14:13
Saviqcob-olp1, that's a great way to convince people to get that channel14:13
cob-olp1I would not scramble it14:13
cob-olp1this is my point too14:13
Saviqso no, EIT isn't scrambled14:13
SaviqI don't even think DVB spec supports that14:13
Saviqonly elementary streams can be scrambled, IIRC14:14
Saviqso video, audio, teletext, subtitles etc.14:14
cob-olp1unfortunately I have to go :(. Thank you all for your interest. I will be back on Tuesday and then my panda is up to you if you only can and want14:14
Saviqcheers14:14
cob-olp1thanks, bye14:15
bobweaverSaviq,  do you think that Schedules Direct would partner with Canonical ?14:15
Saviqbobweaver, sure, if we have clients for them, why not14:20
SaviqI could imagine SD client to be an app available for TV in Software Center14:21
bobweaverI think a little thing in Ubuntu One store would be great or softwarecenter14:21
Saviqwe would have to support subscriptions-type payments, though14:21
Saviqsomething that's not yet there, AFAIK14:22
bobweaveryea I have been thinking about that for a couple of days and how to make something happen. I think that I must think on this a couple more days14:22
Saviqthere's a lot of thinking involved, indeed ;)14:23
bobweaverSaviq,  I am going to try to make some nice flow charts in the next couple of days maybe we can use them to kinda come together on some things :)14:23
tgm4883bobweaver, outside the US and canada, people use XMLTV to get EPG data into MythTV14:23
tgm4883which isn't as nice, but still data14:24
Saviqwell, that only depends on the quality of the xmltv data14:24
Saviqdoesn't SD use XMLTV as well?14:24
tgm4883Saviq, no, SD gets it's data from TMS14:24
tgm4883which is why it's a pay service14:24
Saviq"from" is a different matter to "how it is delivered"14:24
tgm4883ah14:25
Saviqxmltv is just a transport layer14:25
tgm4883I don't think SD uses XMLTV14:25
Saviqmaybe you mean the mythtv grabbers?14:25
Saviqthat scrape data off websites14:25
* tgm4883 shrugs14:25
tgm4883http://wiki.xmltv.org/index.php/Main_Page14:25
Saviqregardless, SD could use XMLTV just as well (I would be interested to know what they use, and why)14:26
tgm4883I'm in the US, so I haven't paid much attention to the XMLTV stuff14:26
Saviqtgm4883, ok, so I meant XMLTV in the xml part, not the grabbers part14:26
tgm4883ah14:26
tgm4883then yes, I think mythtv grabs XML from SD14:26
tgm4883http://www.schedulesdirect.org/14:26
Saviqyeah that's what I thought14:27
tgm4883unofficially/unsupported, there is a project that will grab data from windows MCE servers14:27
tgm4883Probably a violation of ToS14:27
Saviqprobably, just as all the grabbers14:28
tgm4883except SD :)14:28
Saviqs/grabbers/scrapers/14:28
tgm4883yea14:28
tgm4883Although I try not to enforce US law outside of the US14:28
Saviqwell, I don't think ToS's are territorial...14:30
tgm4883Saviq, is there a plan for EPG data in Ubuntu?14:30
tgm4883Saviq, probably14:30
Saviqtgm4883, not a plan yet, no14:31
* tgm4883 is not a lawyer14:31
tgm4883Saviq, Ideally it would tie into U1, but I'd hope that there were some alternatives available as well (such as filling EPG via the mythtv plugin)14:31
* bobweaver needs a Ubuntu sales shirt http://imagebin.org/21535714:43
