[13:02] <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
[13:03] <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
[13:04] <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
[13:05] <jhodapp_> tgm4883: thanks
[13:06] <tgm4883> thank you
[13:41] <tgm4883> jhodapp_, ah, you are in as a separate screen name :/
[13:42] <jhodapp_> tgm4883: yeah, I'm in twice…I'm on my laptop right now watching my new puppy
[14:49] <DooitzeCompaq> when is their an alpha version by means of a USB-image released?
[14:51] <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
[14:52] <jhodapp> but it's the demo source
[14:52] <DooitzeCompaq> no problem, i was just curious
[14:53] <jhodapp> DooitzeCompaq: in many ways this project is still in the design phase
[14:53] <DooitzeCompaq> i think it has a future i think
[14:54] <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
[14:55] <DooitzeCompaq> okay, you can get me as promoter :)
[14:56] <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
[14:58] <DooitzeCompaq> it is still in Unity 2d right?
[14:59] <jhodapp> yes, but being ported to 3D
[15:00] <DooitzeCompaq> so that would make it even cooler?
[15:11] <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
[15:16] <DooitzeCompaq> thats what I meant
[15:19] <DooitzeCompaq> but what if you want watch 3D movies with Ubuntu TV tgm4883?
[15:20] <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
[15:21] <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
[15:22] <tgm4883> DonkeyHotei, still requires a 3D tv though
[15:22] <DonkeyHotei> yes
[15:23] <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
[15:24] <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
[15:25] <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?
[15:26] <DonkeyHotei> people don't build htpc's
[15:26] <tgm4883> DonkeyHotei, do you have stats somewhere?
[15:26] <tgm4883> some sort of reference?
[15:27] <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
[15:28] <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
[15:29] <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)
[15:30] <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
[15:33] <tgm4883> DonkeyHotei, in any case, if you ever do want to discuss that I would be happy to
[15:34] <DonkeyHotei> currently awaiting shipping of an android settop from china, which i hope will run ubuntu tv in the future
[15:52] <DooitzeCompaq> What libraries do I need to build it? tgm4883 jhodapp
[16:02] <DooitzeCompaq> ?
[16:06] <jhodapp> DooitzeCompaq: check out this page: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuTV/Contributing
[16:07] <DooitzeCompaq> thanks
[16:08] <jhodapp> np
[19:48] <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?
[19:49] <tgm4883> colleen, looks like you are in the USA
[19:49] <tgm4883> would this be for OTA, cable, or satellite?
[19:50] <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
[19:51] <tgm4883> what type of budget are you looking at?
[19:51] <colleen> 50 to a 100
[19:51] <tgm4883> let me take a look
[19:53] <tgm4883> colleen, do you know how old his computer is?
[19:53] <tgm4883> or what kind of computer?
[19:55] <colleen> It's a Dell inspiron 53 OS
[19:55] <colleen> Thanks for your help :)
[19:57] <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
[19:58] <tgm4883> I'm 90% sure that will work for him, but it's probably safer to just get a newegg gift card
[19:59] <tgm4883> https://secure.newegg.com/GiftCard/EntryScreen.aspx
[21:00] <colleen> Great! Thanks so much, tgm4883
