[13:02] not yet, but mhall119 might be able to help with that [13:02] go ahead and blog/post to Facebook, whatever about it [13:02] ok [13:03] I hope we can get some good Grilo contributions from the community [13:03] jhodapp_, Adding your feed to planet ubuntu isn't too difficult. Would probably take 5 minutes if you have the time [13:04] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PlanetUbuntu#Adding_Your_Feed [13:04] tgm4883: oh nice, I didn't know one could do that themself [13:04] yep [13:04] just adding a few lines to a bzr branch [13:05] tgm4883: thanks [13:06] thank you [13:41] jhodapp_, ah, you are in as a separate screen name :/ [13:42] tgm4883: yeah, I'm in twice…I'm on my laptop right now watching my new puppy [14:49] when is their an alpha version by means of a USB-image released? [14:51] DooitzeCompaq: unknown as of yet [14:51] is their any source available? [14:51] yeah, check out www.ubuntu.com/tv and look for the contributor section [14:52] but it's the demo source [14:52] no problem, i was just curious [14:53] DooitzeCompaq: in many ways this project is still in the design phase [14:53] i think it has a future i think [14:54] that's good, I'm glad you think so [14:54] in the video the platform looks really cool! [14:54] thanks! [14:54] and we are still learning how to engage and utilize the community of developers well for this project [14:55] okay, you can get me as promoter :) [14:56] please do, we just released a first blog post on a weekly status: http://www.doadjustyourset.com/ [14:56] feel free to help spread that around [14:58] it is still in Unity 2d right? [14:59] yes, but being ported to 3D [15:00] so that would make it even cooler? [15:11] 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] thats what I meant [15:19] but what if you want watch 3D movies with Ubuntu TV tgm4883? [15:20] 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] modern 3d screens do not need absolutely require the glasses [15:21] DonkeyHotei, true [15:21] they are two superimposed lcd or led screens with an offset in between [15:22] DonkeyHotei, still requires a 3D tv though [15:22] yes [15:23] So it also would be a perfect platform for games (tv+console in one) [15:23] at uds, ubuntu tv was portrayed as being integrated into new tv's, so they could be 3d screens, or not [15:23] personally, i'd like to see it on existing tv's, though [15:23] as would I [15:24] they have android set-top boxes now, so why not ubuntu [15:24] indeed, on a set-top box [15:24] I'd rather see it as an installable image [15:24] installable onto a settop box, yes [15:25] and android one [15:25] *an android [15:25] installable on a box that I can build [15:25] that is passé [15:25] people don't do that anymore [15:25] DonkeyHotei, don't build boxes? [15:26] people don't build htpc's [15:26] DonkeyHotei, do you have stats somewhere? [15:26] some sort of reference? [15:27] i could find it, but i don't see any real point [15:27] DonkeyHotei, so.... Should I just tell all the people using Mythbuntu that they are doing it wrong? [15:27] i'd rather not engage in http://xkcd.com/386 atm [15:28] so you're a troll then [15:28] can I quickly distrub [15:28] disturb [15:28] DooitzeCompaq: please do [15:28] I don't see internet browsing on http://pad.ubuntu-uk.org/UbuntuTV [15:29] I think that should be one of the high priorities [15:29] DonkeyHotei, you're wrong, but so are many other people so whatever [15:29] DooitzeCompaq, I don't think it's a high priority thing [15:29] the priority is reliably being able to watch TV [15:29] (I kid you not) [15:30] at least not a core feature [15:30] but medium priority then [15:30] because in common smartTVs van browse [15:30] can [15:30] web can easily be an afterthought, because it's supposed to _be_ a tv [15:30] DooitzeCompaq, perhaps through a plugin [15:30] okay [15:33] DonkeyHotei, in any case, if you ever do want to discuss that I would be happy to [15:34] currently awaiting shipping of an android settop from china, which i hope will run ubuntu tv in the future [15:52] What libraries do I need to build it? tgm4883 jhodapp [16:02] ? [16:06] DooitzeCompaq: check out this page: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuTV/Contributing [16:07] thanks [16:08] np [19:48] 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] colleen, looks like you are in the USA [19:49] would this be for OTA, cable, or satellite? [19:50] I don't know anything about it. [19:50] yes, I am in the states [19:50] that makes things a bit more difficult [19:50] Best guess, is a digital card [19:51] what type of budget are you looking at? [19:51] 50 to a 100 [19:51] let me take a look [19:53] colleen, do you know how old his computer is? [19:53] or what kind of computer? [19:55] It's a Dell inspiron 53 OS [19:55] Thanks for your help :) [19:57] 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] The 530s is a slim machine, and that link comes with a low profile bracket so he could use it with that [19:58] I'm 90% sure that will work for him, but it's probably safer to just get a newegg gift card [19:59] https://secure.newegg.com/GiftCard/EntryScreen.aspx [21:00] Great! Thanks so much, tgm4883 [21:14] yw === popey_ is now known as popey
