| tgm4883 | jhodapp_, nice. Planet Ubuntu? | 13:02 |
| jhodapp_ | not yet, but mhall119 might be able to help with that | 13:02 |
| jhodapp_ | go ahead and blog/post to Facebook, whatever about it | 13:02 |
| tgm4883 | ok | 13:02 |
| jhodapp_ | I hope we can get some good Grilo contributions from the community | 13:03 |
| tgm4883 | jhodapp_, Adding your feed to planet ubuntu isn't too difficult. Would probably take 5 minutes if you have the time | 13:03 |
| tgm4883 | https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PlanetUbuntu#Adding_Your_Feed | 13:04 |
| jhodapp_ | tgm4883: oh nice, I didn't know one could do that themself | 13:04 |
| tgm4883 | yep | 13:04 |
| tgm4883 | just adding a few lines to a bzr branch | 13:04 |
| jhodapp_ | tgm4883: thanks | 13:05 |
| tgm4883 | thank you | 13:06 |
| tgm4883 | jhodapp_, ah, you are in as a separate screen name :/ | 13:41 |
| jhodapp_ | tgm4883: yeah, I'm in twice…I'm on my laptop right now watching my new puppy | 13:42 |
| DooitzeCompaq | when is their an alpha version by means of a USB-image released? | 14:49 |
| jhodapp | DooitzeCompaq: unknown as of yet | 14:51 |
| DooitzeCompaq | is their any source available? | 14:51 |
| jhodapp | yeah, check out www.ubuntu.com/tv and look for the contributor section | 14:51 |
| jhodapp | but it's the demo source | 14:52 |
| DooitzeCompaq | no problem, i was just curious | 14:52 |
| jhodapp | DooitzeCompaq: in many ways this project is still in the design phase | 14:53 |
| DooitzeCompaq | i think it has a future i think | 14:53 |
| jhodapp | that's good, I'm glad you think so | 14:54 |
| DooitzeCompaq | in the video the platform looks really cool! | 14:54 |
| jhodapp | thanks! | 14:54 |
| jhodapp | and we are still learning how to engage and utilize the community of developers well for this project | 14:54 |
| DooitzeCompaq | okay, you can get me as promoter :) | 14:55 |
| jhodapp | please do, we just released a first blog post on a weekly status: http://www.doadjustyourset.com/ | 14:56 |
| jhodapp | feel free to help spread that around | 14:56 |
| DooitzeCompaq | it is still in Unity 2d right? | 14:58 |
| jhodapp | yes, but being ported to 3D | 14:59 |
| DooitzeCompaq | so that would make it even cooler? | 15:00 |
| tgm4883 | I don't think that would make it any cooler, just because it's unity 3D doesn't mean it's going to pop out at you if you use 3D glasses | 15:11 |
| DooitzeCompaq | thats what I meant | 15:16 |
| DooitzeCompaq | but what if you want watch 3D movies with Ubuntu TV tgm4883? | 15:19 |
| tgm4883 | DooitzeCompaq, that should be fine I would think. Ubuntu TV would just send the 3D signal to the TV, which would need to be able to display the signal | 15:20 |
| DonkeyHotei | modern 3d screens do not need absolutely require the glasses | 15:21 |
| tgm4883 | DonkeyHotei, true | 15:21 |
| DonkeyHotei | they are two superimposed lcd or led screens with an offset in between | 15:21 |
| tgm4883 | DonkeyHotei, still requires a 3D tv though | 15:22 |
| DonkeyHotei | yes | 15:22 |
| DooitzeCompaq | So it also would be a perfect platform for games (tv+console in one) | 15:23 |
| DonkeyHotei | at uds, ubuntu tv was portrayed as being integrated into new tv's, so they could be 3d screens, or not | 15:23 |
| DonkeyHotei | personally, i'd like to see it on existing tv's, though | 15:23 |
| tgm4883 | as would I | 15:23 |
| DonkeyHotei | they have android set-top boxes now, so why not ubuntu | 15:24 |
| DooitzeCompaq | indeed, on a set-top box | 15:24 |
| tgm4883 | I'd rather see it as an installable image | 15:24 |
| DonkeyHotei | installable onto a settop box, yes | 15:24 |
| DonkeyHotei | and android one | 15:25 |
| DonkeyHotei | *an android | 15:25 |
| tgm4883 | installable on a box that I can build | 15:25 |
| DonkeyHotei | that is passé | 15:25 |
| DonkeyHotei | people don't do that anymore | 15:25 |
| tgm4883 | DonkeyHotei, don't build boxes? | 15:25 |
| DonkeyHotei | people don't build htpc's | 15:26 |
| tgm4883 | DonkeyHotei, do you have stats somewhere? | 15:26 |
| tgm4883 | some sort of reference? | 15:26 |
| DonkeyHotei | i could find it, but i don't see any real point | 15:27 |
| tgm4883 | DonkeyHotei, so.... Should I just tell all the people using Mythbuntu that they are doing it wrong? | 15:27 |
| DonkeyHotei | i'd rather not engage in http://xkcd.com/386 atm | 15:27 |
| tgm4883 | so you're a troll then | 15:28 |
| DooitzeCompaq | can I quickly distrub | 15:28 |
| DooitzeCompaq | disturb | 15:28 |
| DonkeyHotei | DooitzeCompaq: please do | 15:28 |
| DooitzeCompaq | I don't see internet browsing on http://pad.ubuntu-uk.org/UbuntuTV | 15:28 |
| DooitzeCompaq | I think that should be one of the high priorities | 15:29 |
| tgm4883 | DonkeyHotei, you're wrong, but so are many other people so whatever | 15:29 |
| tgm4883 | DooitzeCompaq, I don't think it's a high priority thing | 15:29 |
| bilboed | the priority is reliably being able to watch TV | 15:29 |
| bilboed | (I kid you not) | 15:29 |
| tgm4883 | at least not a core feature | 15:30 |
| DooitzeCompaq | but medium priority then | 15:30 |
| DooitzeCompaq | because in common smartTVs van browse | 15:30 |
| DooitzeCompaq | can | 15:30 |
| DonkeyHotei | web can easily be an afterthought, because it's supposed to _be_ a tv | 15:30 |
| tgm4883 | DooitzeCompaq, perhaps through a plugin | 15:30 |
| DooitzeCompaq | okay | 15:30 |
| tgm4883 | DonkeyHotei, in any case, if you ever do want to discuss that I would be happy to | 15:33 |
| DonkeyHotei | currently awaiting shipping of an android settop from china, which i hope will run ubuntu tv in the future | 15:34 |
| DooitzeCompaq | What libraries do I need to build it? tgm4883 jhodapp | 15:52 |
| DooitzeCompaq | ? | 16:02 |
| jhodapp | DooitzeCompaq: check out this page: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuTV/Contributing | 16:06 |
| DooitzeCompaq | thanks | 16:07 |
| jhodapp | np | 16:08 |
| colleen | my boyfriend wants a capture card for his bday, I don't know which one is linux. What would you suggest? I want a good one but can't afford anything too expensive. What would be the best one? | 19:48 |
| tgm4883 | colleen, looks like you are in the USA | 19:49 |
| tgm4883 | would this be for OTA, cable, or satellite? | 19:49 |
| colleen | I don't know anything about it. | 19:50 |
| colleen | yes, I am in the states | 19:50 |
| tgm4883 | that makes things a bit more difficult | 19:50 |
| tgm4883 | Best guess, is a digital card | 19:50 |
| tgm4883 | what type of budget are you looking at? | 19:51 |
| colleen | 50 to a 100 | 19:51 |
| tgm4883 | let me take a look | 19:51 |
| tgm4883 | colleen, do you know how old his computer is? | 19:53 |
| tgm4883 | or what kind of computer? | 19:53 |
| colleen | It's a Dell inspiron 53 OS | 19:55 |
| colleen | Thanks for your help :) | 19:55 |
| tgm4883 | colleen, ok, so like I said, it's a bit difficult without some specifics, but this would most likely work http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16815116037 | 19:57 |
| tgm4883 | The 530s is a slim machine, and that link comes with a low profile bracket so he could use it with that | 19:57 |
| tgm4883 | I'm 90% sure that will work for him, but it's probably safer to just get a newegg gift card | 19:58 |
| tgm4883 | https://secure.newegg.com/GiftCard/EntryScreen.aspx | 19:59 |
| colleen | Great! Thanks so much, tgm4883 | 21:00 |
| tgm4883 | yw | 21:14 |
