jhodapp_bobweaver, I've experimented with Nux14:14
jhodapp_I wouldn't say that I "know" Nux14:14
smartboyhwBuilding the code now:)14:14
jhodapp_I got help from the person who originally created Nux, he's a Canonical employee14:14
smartboyhwjhoadapp_: Wow14:14
bobweavertvjust from learning the unity.dev.com ? or RE14:15
bobweavertvjhodapp,  ^^14:15

bobweavertver spelling14:16
jhodapp_from the header files for Nux14:16
smartboyhwOh14:16
jhodapp_the source is quite readable14:16
jhodapp_bobweavertv, btw if you want to ask some questions of Jay (the original author of Nux), he's on #ubuntu-unity on freenode (irc name jaytaoko)14:17
bobweavertvyeah but things like NUX:: draw how to know if you need :: or :; or syntax stuff like that14:17
jhodapp_those types of question I asked Jay for help14:17
bobweavertvthansk I have offered a free laptop there to anyone that can really teach me NUX14:17
jhodapp_bobweavertv: he's the man, though he's a busy man so you'll need some patience with him14:18
bobweavertvthanks for the tip jhodapp  that is what I am looking for ! I figure that there has to be some sorta blog or something that I have missed14:18

bobweaver<< is a expert on the Unity 2d14:28
smartboyhwI used the instructions there in https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuTV/Contributing to set form-factor key14:29
smartboyhwThe terminal said "No such key 'form-factor'"14:29
bobweaverok lets see you home dir please14:29
bobweaverls ~ | pastebinit14:29
smartboyhwhttp://paste.ubuntu.com/116452714:30

smartboyhwThanks bobweavertv14:32
bobweavertvnp14:33
bobweavertvyeah you are setting it from where your pwd is at14:33
bobweavertvall that matters about that is that you are using the xml data that is there in ~/ubuntu-tv/data/14:34
smartboyhwTHanks14:37
smartboyhwActually, how do I know if I'm running Unity-2d or unity?14:38
bobweavertvuse ps aux14:40
bobweavertvps aux | grep [u]nity14:41
smartboyhwYes, I got it running!!!14:41
jhodapp_smartboyhw, also, if you don't have any drop shadows, it's unity-2d14:42
smartboyhwOK, anyway successfully compiled the source code, got it running!!!!14:42
bobweavertvsmartboyhw,  now install qtcreator and do it again using the tools that qt creator provides14:42
smartboyhwWait, how do I close it?14:43
bobweavertvI still do not know why there is terminal commands on that page Oo or -opengl as it is called in the code14:43
bobweavertvchange back to the terminal and press ctrl+c smartboyhw14:43
smartboyhwOK, then sudo apt-get install qtcreator?14:44
bobweavertvthat would be correct14:44
smartboyhwThanks14:44
bobweavertvafter installed open it and go to file-->open project    then go to ~/ubuntu-tv/  and pick the CMakeList.txt file14:45
smartboyhwWait, I haven't finished install14:46
smartboyhwbobweavertv: Followed the instructions, then?14:47
bobweavertvwhat do you see ?14:47
bobweavertvshould be asking where you want to build14:48
smartboyhwI see a cmake wizard14:48
bobweavertvgood14:48
smartboyhwIt doesn't allow me to change dir14:48
smartboyhwSo only next14:48

bobweavertvdont forget to put that unity standalone is kinda working :P19:48
tgm4883bobweavertv, does this link work for you https://myapps.developer.ubuntu.com/dev/apps/1416/19:52
tgm4883IDK if that is only good for me or not19:53
bobweavertvgood stuff ^^19:53
tgm4883ok19:54
bobweavertvtgm4883,  congrats on getting it passed19:56
tgm4883bobweavertv, getting what passed?19:57
tgm4883the app is still pending review19:58
bobweavertvoh sorry then good luck19:58
bobweavertvHow to get frustrated >> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZgqusPUCl9k&feature=plcp21:53
tgm4883bobweavertv, ping22:35
bobweavertvyo22:36
tgm4883bobweavertv, did you ever send me the changes to the dbus path you had to make on the mythtv scope?22:38
bobweavertvno that was just for the old ubuntu-tv22:39
tgm4883ok22:39
bobweavertvi will install to 12.10 and add to virtual unity22:39
bobweavertvI finaly got it going22:39
tgm4883looks like it might need changed for 12.10 as well22:39
bobweavertvah22:39
bobweavertvthanks22:39
bobweavertvyeah what a $%^&*( it was to get this standalone to run in a sandbox env22:40
bobweavertvI should have Unity 3d looking liker and acting like unity 2d tv in a weeks time '22:41
bobweavertvtgm4883,  if you are adding previews it is all under /unity-core/moviepreview.cpp would be one23:04
bobweavertvbut looks like allt eh code is under shared or core23:05
bobweavertvnothing that fancy under dash23:05
tgm4883bobweavertv, haven't looked at that yet, still getting the scope to show up under videos in 12.1023:06
bobweavertvcool when you get that far give me a ping and I will help test and also help make preview23:06
bobweavertvif you like that is23:06
bobweavertvtgm4883, you know that you do not have to install Unity 3d on to machine in order to use ?23:11
bobweavertvhttp://imagebin.org/22577023:11
bobweavertvbut fair warning it is a pain23:11
bobweavertvbut tgm4883  inthorey if you are using the lens "video" and your scope is just attaching then it should 100% work with previews allready at least that is how I am reading the code for this angle23:14
tgm4883bobweavertv, well it's got to know what to show though23:15
bobweavertvif it shows in dash then it shows in pannel23:15
bobweavertvsorry previews23:15
bobweavertvmeaning that it uses the icons that are already in place23:16
bobweavertvlike if you are using backend for gathering metadata and is shows picture for unity dash then it will also show in preview23:17
bobweavertvbackend = myth23:17
tgm4883bobweavertv, the issue is I haven't touched the scope in so long, I don't recall how to get it attached to the lens23:17
tgm4883which seems to be something that has changed23:17
bobweavertvI see that there is a fail safe like if not this try this23:17
bobweavertvin the daemon23:18
* tgm4883 goes back to reading docs23:18
bobweavertvthe first couple of lines23:18
bobweavertvof the scope23:18
bobweavertvright after class Daemon23:18
tgm4883[Scope]23:18
tgm4883DBusName=net.launchpad.scope.mythtv23:18
tgm4883DBusPath=/net/launchpad/scope/mythtv23:18
bobweavertvcorrect23:18
bobweavertvthen in scope.scope23:18
tgm4883that is in mythtv.scope23:19
tgm4883in /usr/share/unity/lenses/video/23:19
bobweavertvthe uinty reads auto then23:19
bobweavertvbecause it is in the unity file hyracry23:19
bobweavertvmaening because scope is in videos folder lens knows to scan there23:20
tgm4883right23:20
tgm4883which is what I expect23:20
tgm4883but it's still not showing up as a source in the videos lens23:20
bobweavertvhuh killed the lens and restarted >23:20
bobweavertv?*23:20
tgm4883hmm, not the lens23:20
bobweavertvyeah you have to kill the video lens23:21
bobweavertvthen you can start it again from23:21
tgm4883is there a way to do that without logging out and in?23:21
tgm4883IIRC there didn't use to be23:21
bobweavertv /usr/lib/unity-lens-video23:21
bobweavertvyeah23:21
bobweavertvunity --replace23:21
bobweavertvbut you do not need to do that23:22
bobweavertvyou can kill lens and scope say ps aux | grep unity-lens-video    then kill the pid23:22
bobweavertvthen go to the /usr/lib/unity-lens-video then run ./unity-lens-video-daemon23:23
bobweavertvbecause you killed and did not open lens you can restart like that23:23
bobweavertvthat way you acan also debug the video lens for when it connects to the scope23:23
tgm4883bobweavertv, Progress!23:29
tgm4883I had switched the dbus path, but had forgotten about the .scope file, then I switched the scope file, but didn't restart the video lens23:30
tgm4883now, all is working again23:30
bobweavertvsweet23:30
bobweavertvsessions file also I take it ?23:30
tgm4883nah, just the scope and .scope file23:31
tgm4883then restarted, because I did the unity --replace thing and my netbook didn't like that so much23:32
bobweavertvyeah that can happen there are 2 thing to do when I am writing lens and scopes make sure that lens is running in terminal so I can debug the crap out of it and the other is to do just what you did with dbus23:34
bobweavertvbut I cryed to david callie until he told me his secrets23:35
tgm4883yea that dude is pretty talented23:36
bobweavertvmaybe when you get chance you can help me out with a myth troubles that I am having will not connect to backend host says the hostname is wrong I have tried ip and also FQDN23:36
bobweavertvbrb session restart23:37
bobweavertver exit code 130 time to play the mythtv frontend pop up game :)23:41
tgm4883heh23:42
tgm4883bobweavertv, have you had a working remote frontend before?23:45
tgm4883bobweavertv, can you pastebin /etc/mysql/conf.d/mythtv.cnf23:46
bobweavertvI have not before23:48
bobweavertvsure from backend correct I take it23:48
tgm4883yea23:49
bobweavertvI take it that I have to bind the ip ?23:49
bobweavertvpaste.ubuntu.com/116536323:50
tgm4883bobweavertv, uncomment that23:50
tgm4883then restart mysql and the backend23:50
tgm4883uncomment line 223:51
bobweavertvshould I add my ip (it is not static) or just un-comment ?23:51
bobweavertvthanks tgm488323:51
tgm4883just uncomment23:52
tgm4883although you shouldn't use a non-static IP address on a mythtv backend23:52
tgm4883(unless you are using a reserved DHCP IP address)23:52
bobweavertvcool I will set something up23:53
bobweavertvbut I restarted the services23:53
tgm4883ok it should work now then23:55
bobweavertvyup23:57
bobweavertvhaving troubles connecting to the back end but I am going to re-install frontend23:57
bobweavertvthanks a ton tgm488323:57
tgm4883bobweavertv, you probably have to go into mythtv-setup and set the IP address of the backend to the actual IP23:59
bobweavertvbrb23:59
