| jussi | can someone give me a quick update on where we are with ubuntu tv? | 13:16 |
|---|---|---|
| popey | jussi, http://www.doadjustyourset.com/ is the best place to see the project status | 13:55 |
| jussi | thanks popey. | 14:18 |
| jussi | popey: is there a nightly ppa somewhere? I saw it mentioned in regard to ISO's in the task list (with your name on it... | 14:32 |
| popey | not yet | 14:32 |
| jussi | ok - when is it estimated it will come? and I jut have to compile in the meantime? or? | 14:32 |
| mhall119 | jussi: bobweave is still working on the Nux port, having some issues getting local Unity dev environment setup | 15:35 |
| jussi | mhall119: argh, ok. Frstrating. How useable is the old unity2d stuff? | 16:40 |
| mhall119 | jussi: it's demo-able, but it's only a demo | 16:43 |
| jussi | right. | 16:43 |
| mhall119 | bobweaver has made it very easy to install the demo code from a PPA though | 16:44 |
| mhall119 | but, it's not ready for livingroom use yet, if that's what you were after | 16:44 |
| jussi | mhall119: also, the actual "tv" part - is it done, part done or just "demo" ? | 16:44 |
| jussi | mhall119: yeah, Im after the living room bit :D | 16:44 |
| mhall119 | jussi: it's all just "demo" | 16:44 |
| mhall119 | jussi: I'm sure they'd welcome some help :) | 16:44 |
| tgm4883 | i'd recommend mythtv | 16:44 |
| mhall119 | course you would :P | 16:45 |
| jussi | mhall119: you remember my coding skills... right? :P | 16:45 |
| tgm4883 | mhall119, being that for the DVR portion of Ubuntu TV, the only integrated backend will be MythTV, I think it's a good recommendation ;) | 16:45 |
| mhall119 | me too | 16:50 |
| jussi | hrm, last time I tried mythtv it was a total mess to setup... | 16:57 |
| jussi | very frustrating | 16:57 |
| tgm4883 | jussi, when was that? | 16:57 |
| cm-t | mhall119: that's good news :) | 16:57 |
| cm-t | (g+ ) | 16:58 |
| jussi | tgm4883: about a year ago | 16:58 |
| tgm4883 | what country are you in? | 16:58 |
| jussi | finland | 16:58 |
| tgm4883 | hmm | 16:58 |
| jussi | tgm4883: at least with mythbuntu it needed frontends and backends and all sorts or weirdness. | 16:58 |
| tgm4883 | jussi, well that is true | 16:59 |
| tgm4883 | you do need a frontend and a backend | 16:59 |
| tgm4883 | although they can reside on the same machine | 16:59 |
| jussi | hrrm | 16:59 |
| tgm4883 | I see that as a good thing, not a bad one | 16:59 |
| tgm4883 | you don't agree? | 16:59 |
| jussi | tgm4883: if its painful to setup, then thats an issue | 17:01 |
| tgm4883 | jussi, I disagree that it is painful to setup, but I'm not aware of the issues you were facing | 17:01 |
| tgm4883 | if it was a hardware support issue, documentation, etc | 17:01 |
| jussi | tgm4883: it may be just that I dont understand how it all works, or I missed a step. I shall try again | 17:02 |
| jussi | tgm4883: is it easier just to grab a install to ubuntu, or better to grab the mythbuntu disc install? | 17:02 |
| tgm4883 | jussi, the reason for the frontend/backend (client/server) setup, is so you can have a single mythtv server for recording, then have multiple frontends around your house feeding off the same server | 17:03 |
| jussi | tgm4883: yeah, I get that. However, in my 57m2 house, only one is needed.... ;) | 17:04 |
| tgm4883 | jussi, either is just fine. If you do a Ubuntu install, I'd recommend grabbing mythbuntu-control-centre and configuring with that. You'll probably want to install XFCE though, as there is issues with Compiz and MythTV | 17:04 |
| tgm4883 | (or just do a Mythbuntu install) | 17:04 |
| jussi | tgm4883: yeah, the machine in question already has kubuntu on it. hence my question :) | 17:05 |
