[13:27] <smartboyhw> jhodapp, how is Ubuntu TV these days?
[13:27] <jhodapp> smartboyhw, I'm not working on it still, focusing on Ubuntu Touch media
[13:27] <smartboyhw> jhodapp, :O I thought you are working on it...
[13:27] <jhodapp> smartboyhw, so I don't think there's been any progress
[13:28] <smartboyhw> oh:(
[13:29] <smartboyhw> jhodapp, where's the source code?
[13:29] <jhodapp> same place as it's always been :)
[13:29] <jhodapp> take a look at ubuntu.com/tv
[13:30] <smartboyhw> jhodapp, but I thought that was the one with Unity 2D:O
[13:30] <smartboyhw> To download, compile and run the code, you will need Ubuntu 11.10 and a working OpenGL driver, preferably with synchronisation to VBlank enabled.
[13:30] <smartboyhw> :O
[13:30] <jhodapp> yes it is
[13:30] <jhodapp> that was the latest status of Ubuntu TV
[13:30] <smartboyhw> jhodapp, you DO realize that Ubuntu 11.10 is unsupported right...
[13:31] <smartboyhw> Sigh, without bobweaver the whole thing is not progressing
[13:31] <jhodapp> smartboyhw, yes but again, I'm not working on it :)
[13:32] <jhodapp> smartboyhw, but you bring up a good point about updating the web page to at least reflect a more current status of the project and where it might go some day
[13:32] <smartboyhw> jhodapp, yeah, if not I will be confused.
[13:32] <smartboyhw> At least, don't mention 11.10 :P
[13:33] <jhodapp> well except that's still accurate, and it hasn't been tested on anything newer with any kind of certainty
[13:33] <smartboyhw> jhodapp, well you certainly can't test it in Ubuntu 12.10 or latter (since they run newer Unity)
[13:34] <jhodapp> right
[13:36] <smartboyhw> jhodapp, I do suppose the whole thing need to be done is to port it to Unity 8 right?
[13:36] <jhodapp> smartboyhw, correct
[13:37] <smartboyhw> Whoa
[13:37] <smartboyhw> Unity 6 (or 5) -> 8...
[13:37] <smartboyhw> ...
[13:37] <jhodapp> Unity doesn't stand still :)
[13:38] <smartboyhw> But the TV code did...
[13:42] <smartboyhw> jhodapp, how difficult would it be if I'm to port the WHOLE code?
[13:43] <jhodapp> not exactly sure, but my guess is fairly challenging
[13:43] <smartboyhw> jhodapp, OK...
[13:44] <jhodapp> smartboyhw, talk to tgm4883 and bobweaver, see where they left off
[13:45] <smartboyhw> jhodapp, I don't even know will bobweaver jump up again
[13:47] <jhodapp> he's involved on the phone project doing some apps and such
[13:47] <jhodapp> he's still interested in the ecosystem
[13:47] <smartboyhw> jhodapp, that's better:)
[13:48] <jhodapp> smartboyhw, my hope is we revive the project after the phone releases and is a big success, but that's no guarantee
[13:48] <smartboyhw> jhodapp, wow, that will need to wait for at least 1-2 more years...
[13:56] <ogra_> smartboyhw, huh ? why would it take a year ? we are just building a whole phone OS in 6 months ... TV will just be a lens on top of that
[13:57] <ogra_> and doing any work on TV would be wasted until we have a stable platform for it
[13:57] <ogra_> (which ubuntu touch will be)
[13:57] <jhodapp> exactly
[13:57] <jhodapp> smartboyhw, so once the phone OS is released, we have a very good base
[13:59] <smartboyhw> jhodapp, ogra_ ah
[13:59] <jhodapp> smartboyhw, but until that time, phone is the focus
[14:03] <tgm4883> which is good, because I'm sure we don't want to keep reinventing the wheel as we've done 3 times in the past
[14:03]  * tgm4883 goes to work
[14:04] <jhodapp> tgm4883, indeed
