brobostigongood morning everyone,10:28
popeyyo10:33
brobostigonmorning popey10:34
bigcalm_laptopGood morning peeps :)10:35
brobostigonmorning bigcalm_laptop10:35
bigcalm_laptopHi brobostigon10:36
brobostigonok, lets say. i used get-iplayer, to download something to my rpi, how would you stream that from there to another machine on the same network, whith the rpi being headless ?10:43
gordsmbfs? ssh+ftp?10:44
diploI have a similar setup, albeit a microserver and yeah as gord says I stick it in a samba share10:45
diploand point xbmc in my case to said samba share10:45
TheOpenSourcererbrobostigon: dlna, rygel?10:46
gordis what i do, i've also used a upnp setup in the past too, which worked well and something i want to explore in the future but xbmc was a bit buggy with it at the time10:46
brobostigontwo questions, will it download the whole file before playback? and how can i get it to do that without having to download said file wholly or partially first ?10:46
TheOpenSourcererdlna/upnp I think is a proper streaming service.10:46
TheOpenSourcererIt works on my TV from my home server.10:47
brobostigonok, let me make notes, and research those possibilities.10:47
gordit won't download the whole file before playback, unless your video player is beyond terrible10:47
TheOpenSourcererIf you are using a Pi though you probably don't want to do real-time encoding ;-)10:47
* bigcalm_laptop pokes gord10:48
brobostigongord: ok, i just remeber some attempts at this before. doing that,10:48
* bigcalm_laptop pokes mrevell10:48
gordonly thing i have seen download the whole file before playback is a sftp filesystem extension for windows that would download the files to a temporary directory before letting the thing open it10:48
* gord is poked10:48
mrevellAH, hey bigcalm_laptop. I got back late from a meet-up in Manchester last night so I'm still at home. Are you all there?10:48
brobostigongord: ah,10:49
bigcalm_laptopmrevell: davmor2 and myself are here10:50
bigcalm_laptopmrevell: you're welcome to join us10:50
brobostigonTheOpenSourcerer: good point, yes.10:51
davmor2mrevell: yeah come you can tell us all about your new job and the globe trotting that you are doing :)10:51
mrevellheh :)10:52
=== Hornet- is now known as Hornet
brobostigonminidlna seems a good candidate, for what i am looking for.11:18
bigcalm_laptopIs that the mysql drop in replacement?11:19
bigcalm_laptopOh, maybe not. I think I'm still a little tired today11:19
SuperMattno, you're thinking of maria11:20
SuperMattthe only thing that's stopping me from dropping postgres on unsuspecting asses over here is bloody wordpress11:21
SuperMattthough I guess if I can prove that wordpress works fine with maria, then I might be able to convince the devs to make the switch11:24
bigcalm_laptopSuperMatt: drizzle is another drop in replacement for mysql11:33
SuperMattconsidering that fedora 19 may go maria (if it ever gets out of the door), and it's being developed by formers mysql devs, maria might be the better option11:34
SuperMatthah, silly me11:45
SuperMattthe maria db wikipedia page says wordpress is "officially supported"11:45
SuperMattI'm just going to have a look around to see where I can find that "official" confirmation11:45
SuperMattbrilliant, zend support it too, so I could move everything across the maria 1011:47
SuperMattor just keep maria for wordpress and use postgres for everything else11:47
hooverShould be ok to use maria as it's a drop-in binary replacement for mysql11:56
SuperMattwell, currently it is ;)12:13
SuperMattI don't imagine that if maria and mysql were no longer compatible that wordpress would stop working12:13
SuperMattit's not like wordpress sites need to worry about transactions, etc12:13
brobostigonwhat the best format for videos to be in, so that dlna can playback and stream them properly ?12:34
brobostigonbtw, i got minidlna up and running properly, :)12:35
popeyi dont think dnla cares12:35
popeythe client might12:35
brobostigonhmm, get-iplayer and minidlna end, it is a .flv12:35
popeyh264 seems to be the codec of choice which plays on most things12:35
popeyflv is the container12:36
brobostigonok.12:36
popeywhat's inside it?12:36
popeyget_iplayer usually converts .flv to .mp4 when it finishes iirc12:36
brobostigonhow do i find out from cli ?12:36
popeymplayer will tell you12:36
Azelphurdoesn't iplayer serve mp4 as it's high quality option?12:37
brobostigonit didnt convert it to mp4 for some reason.12:37
popeydo you have libav/ffmpeg installed?12:37
popeyif not it wont12:37
gordmost things that can play h264 can also play flv though12:37
brobostigonpopey: ah, ok. let me try again then.12:37
popeySelected video codec: [ffh264] vfm: ffmpeg (FFmpeg H.264)12:38
popeySelected audio codec: [ffac3] afm: ffmpeg (FFmpeg AC-3)12:38
popeyfor example is what you might get from mplayer12:38
brobostigoni have installed ffmpeg now, so will try and pull a different video off iplayer, and see whats happens.12:39
popeyor just manually convert one you already have12:40
popeyi think get_iplayer just changes the container, not the internal codecs12:41
brobostigoni will have to do that yes.12:41
brobostigonah.12:41
popeywhat are you playing them with?12:41
popeyi.e. what frontend?12:41
brobostigonmediahouse on my nexus7. is the first client i tried.12:41
einonmgord: watch out though, flv is a container, whereas h.264 is a video codec, so there is quite a difference12:42
popeyhttps://www.theyetee.com/12:44
popeyoops12:44
brobostigonspoton popey , ffmpeg was the problem.12:45
popeycool12:45
brobostigonWOOP12:48
brobostigonit is working really quite well. i am impressed.13:06
knightwisehey popey brobostigon13:18
brobostigonhey knightwise13:19
knightwisehmm.. i'm using the nxfree nomachine client / server13:27
knightwisebut it doesnt seem to like unity very much :(13:27
brobostigoni wonder, if there is an risk of the rpi overheating and burning,? hmmm,13:28
knightwiseis there still an lts supported version without unity (with standard gnome ?)13:34
knightwiseor has that also gone the way of the dodo ?13:34
brobostigonstandard gnome is there is the repos, and i beleieve there is a gnome-ubuntu remix.13:35
knightwisestandard gnome  ? but thats gnome 3 ..right ?13:36
brobostigonyes.13:37
knightwisehmm.. dunno if the Nomachine client likes that any better13:41
diploknightwise: xfce ?13:42
knightwisesure ,b ut then you need to hack some preferences into the nxclient and i've tried several things.13:46
BigRedSI'm after an XMPP client that supports a few different accounts being configured, but lets me treat them separately, anyone know of any?13:49
BigRedSso (easy) different statuses/messages for each, ideally separate contact lists. I'm thinking basically Pidgin's interface but tabbed...13:49
knightwiseBigRedS: Centerim ?13:54
BigRedSknightwise: oooh, perhaps. Hadn't considered text-mode.13:55
BigRedSthansk!13:55
BigRedShaha, you can judge software's maintenance activity by which woman is in the photo in the background of the screenshot...13:56
knightwiseah , i got it14:00
awilkinsBigRedS, Are we saying the maintenance is inversely proportional to how attractive the screenshot people are?14:00
knightwiseneed to specify what desktop the nomachine client should launch14:00
knightwiseworks nog14:00
knightwisenow14:00
awilkinsBigRedS, ie ; super hot - obv. rubbish software being covered up by glitz?14:00
knightwisewhow14:07
knightwiseremote desktop with NXclient (running XFCE on the far end) is FAST !14:07
BigRedSawilkins: haha, nah just which woman is in the background. Though I'm not sure who it would be now...14:08
knightwisewhat screenshot are you referring to ?14:09
BigRedShttp://www.centerim.org/index.php/File:Centerim-screenshot.png14:10
awilkinsAn old shot of Alysson Hannigan14:10
awilkinsFrom this we can infer the software is maintained by people who liked Buffy the Vampire Slayer14:11
knightwiseaah the allison hannigan wallpaper ?14:12
* knightwise had big time nerd crush on her14:12
knightwiseand i still think she's hot14:12
knightwisehad her on my wallpaper for a long time.14:12
knightwiseCurrently boasting artwork from "the mad shipyards" (google to find out)14:12
awilkinsShe gets hotter as time goes on, if anything14:12
knightwiseindeed14:13
knightwisedo i like her in ginger more then in dark brown14:13
awilkinsHer turn in "How I Met Your Mother" is nothing short of inspired14:13
dwatkinsGillian Anderson is awesome14:13
knightwisegillian anderson ?14:13
awilkinsX-Files Scully14:13
dwatkinsyeah awilkins14:13
knightwiseoh Skully14:13
awilkinsI had the issue of FHM that was trading for £10 a copy on ebay14:13
dwatkinsKarin Gillian isn't bad either, can you detect a theme?14:13
knightwiseyeah .. she's like the big sis everybody wanted as a kid14:13
awilkinsThe one with Gillian Anderson in her underwear14:14

knightwisesooo pretty14:14
knightwisecool :) Lxde remote desktop is lightning fast :)14:21
SuperMattI would love if someone in canonical worked on a proper rdp contender for linux14:22
BigRedSssh -x14:22
* BigRedS doesn't use rdp14:22
SuperMattI know we have x-forwarding, but it's not the same as having a whole desktop running quite fast14:22
SuperMattand I mean faster than vnc too14:22
SuperMattI had to work from home on monday and vnc was painful14:23
dwatkinsNX and VNC are fine for what I need14:23
AlanBellSuperMatt: I suspect someone will do something with wayland14:28
AlanBellhttp://wayland.freedesktop.org/faq.html#heading_toc_j_814:29
knightwiseSuperMatt: you need to connect to a windows machine ?14:29
knightwiseI am currently using NXFree , but thats not realy an 'remote desktop' client14:30
knightwisemore of a terminal server one14:30
knightwiseha : )14:32
knightwiseused NXfree to connect to a virtual machine i'm running at home14:32
knightwisevirtual machine is also running with another user logged in14:33
knightwiseusing vnc to connect to the other X session of that user :)14:33
dwatkinsI often use NX to remote control my machine at home, especially as it has less port restrictions than the office network14:34
SuperMattknightwise: no, not connecting to windows.14:36
SuperMattRDP just seems to do remote displays way better than vnc14:36
SuperMattxfordwarding is nice for the odd app or two, but it can't replace being able to access your hole desktop14:36
awilkinsI think there's an RDP server for Linux somewhere, when I mention it here people link it14:40
awilkinshttp://www.xrdp.org/14:40
* SuperMatt nods14:40
SuperMattI've never managed to get that to load unity though14:40
SuperMattcould just be me14:41
knightwiseSuperMatt: i know you'll swear at me but .. teamviewer isn't so bad14:41
SuperMattmaybe I should just try xrdp when I get home14:43

andrewebdevI've just finished setting up for myself a new pc, and I'm wondering if it's possible to just copy my private ssh key to the new computer, from my old laptop, or should I generate a new one?16:01
brobostigonanother question, what controls inside dlna, the quality of playback on the client ? is it directly the source video quality?16:01
popeyandrewebdev: is your old laptop being decommissioned?16:02
solarcloud_3srcnAlanBell: Well, at least the #channel is going, at last, today .. thanx everyone.16:02
andrewebdevpopey, I am planning to still use it16:03
popeyif so, I'd copy ~/.ssh over, if not, and you're keeping both machines, I'd create a new one16:03
andrewebdevok thx16:03
popeyso if you lose one machine (or it gets stolen or compromised) you can remove that one key from remote machines and keep the safe one16:03
andrewebdevah i see that makes sense yes16:03
einonm1brobostigon: I'm not sure if dlna dlna adaptive streaming16:03
andrewebdevta :)16:03
einonm1...dlna has adaptive streaming16:03
brobostigoneinonm1: so it adjusts to the client ?16:04
einonm1to the link speed, if it is present. As I said, I'm not sure if DLNA does that.16:04
brobostigoneinonm1: ok, thank you,16:05
einonm1basically, it first tests if it can shove the best quality stream down the pipe - if it can't it tries the next best etc.16:05
brobostigonah, i see.16:05
einonm1but you need either multiple streams of different quality, or (like on blu-ray) a codec that can cope with adaptive bitrates16:05
brobostigongood point,16:06
popeybrobostigon: what client are you using?16:08
brobostigonpopey: mediahouse on android 4.2.116:09

solarcloud_3srcnI remember a lot of this :: https://dl.dropbox.com/u/55128914/Lubuntu%20docs/Half%20Life%20Loading%20Bar.PNG23:21
directhexsolarcloud_3srcn, then you're a youngun. there was no bar like that in pre-steam half-life23:23
directhexremember, this is a game from 199823:23
solarcloud_3srcnmmmmphf .... '98 tech .. What's the big deal about then ??23:24
cambrianExplosioHi everyone, is anyone using Ubuntu on a Macbook here?23:25
solarcloud_3srcnnot me ..23:25
directhexwell, there was no steam. half-life came instead with "sierra utilities". which had a minor bug whereby it would delete all your files when you uninstalled it23:26
directhexhalf-life patch day was hell. a 45-meg patch on 28.8k dialup was lame23:26
solarcloud_3srcnSounds familiar.23:26
solarcloud_3srcnmmmmhpf .... '98 tech .. What's the big deal about *today* ,then ??23:31
directhexsolarcloud_3srcn, well, it's been ported to linux and osx, and released within the last hour23:33
directhexpart of why that's interesting is a) steam for mac came out years ago, yet never saw ports of hl1-based games, and b) the rather messy history of the unreleased osx port23:34
