| [01:41] | <parkerhiggins_> | anybody out there right now? |
| [01:42] | <parkerhiggins_> | joeborn, you around? |
| [01:47] | <allyourrejects> | i am.. "around" |
| [01:48] | <parkerhiggins_> | hey allyourrejects, i was wondering if there's a tutorial somewhere for streaming media from my pc to my osd? (my pc, incidentally, is a mac.) [also, i apologize if you aren't the person to be asking, but hey, you're around.] |
| [01:49] | <allyourrejects> | I do not know of any tutorials. |
| [01:50] | <allyourrejects> | what you would need to do is enable windows file sharing for your mac |
| [01:50] | <allyourrejects> | or download some soft of UPnP media server |
| [01:50] | <parkerhiggins_> | ah. i think i know how to do that. |
| [01:50] | <allyourrejects> | then the OSD can access these (*sometimes*) |
| [01:50] | <allyourrejects> | OSX has a bug where it will not broad cast its windows share data, so it cannot be detected by osd |
| [01:51] | <parkerhiggins_> | oh. that's a bummer. |
| [01:51] | <allyourrejects> | its a sometimes deal |
| [01:51] | <allyourrejects> | maybe you could find OSX info on how to enable broad cast :) |
| [02:43] | <allyourrejects> | parkerhiggins_: greyback on the OSD forums has setup some soft of OSX guide |
| [02:43] | <allyourrejects> | err, some sort |
| [02:44] | <allyourrejects> | parkerhiggins_: he visits in here sometimes too. usually in about +6 hours or so |
| [09:10] | <emotehman> | nerochiaro: let me know when you are there. I have one more question this morning. |
| [10:07] | <JohnDesigner> | JoeBorn: so you weren't kidding about the saimese cat connector, huh. |
| [12:21] | <MattJ> | Wow |
| [12:21] | <MattJ> | The BBC are *not* liked right now :) |
| [12:21] | <MattJ> | news.bbc.co.uk |
| [12:26] | <gremlin[it]> | good evening ! |
| [12:33] | <JoeyBorn> | MattJ: how's it going? |
| [12:34] | <MattJ> | JoeyBorn: Ok thanks :) |
| [12:34] | <MattJ> | You? |
| [12:35] | <JoeyBorn> | not bad, just reading that article. |
| [12:35] | <MattJ> | People are citing competition laws |
| [12:35] | <MattJ> | ie. the fact that the BBC is locking out non-Apple devices |
| [12:37] | <JoeyBorn> | life will sure be a lot better when content folks figure out some new business models, I hope for everyone's sake that happens sooner rather than later. |
| [12:38] | <MattJ> | Me too |
| [12:38] | <wallace> | Hello |
| [12:39] | <wallace> | there some have in mind to make like a pay-per-view module? |
| [12:47] | <JohnDesigner> | crweb: how do I get the Chinese font(s) to display in AZ? |
| [12:50] | <JohnDesigner> | crweb: I tried Regional>language, spun to one of the Chinese settings, saved. nothing happend. rebooted. no change. |
| [12:51] | <JohnDesigner> | AZ y.37 |
| [14:27] | <nerochiaro> | JohnDesigner: i'm not sure they are in yet |
| [14:27] | <JohnDesigner> | nerochiaro: okay, thanks |
| [14:27] | <nerochiaro> | JohnDesigner: try asking Jimmy or Tom |
| [14:27] | <JohnDesigner> | nerochiaro: yep, request is pending there |
| [14:28] | <nerochiaro> | emotehman: ping |
| [14:28] | <JohnDesigner> | nerochiaro: no hurry really |
| [14:35] | <JohnDesigner> | anyone running Torfu? Press the record button twice and see what happens please. |
| [14:35] | <MattJ> | JohnDesigner: It doesn't OK the box |
| [14:35] | <MattJ> | If that's what you mean :) |
| [14:36] | <JohnDesigner> | you need to OK the "recording settings confirmation" message? |
| [14:36] | <MattJ> | Yes, with Enter |
| [14:36] | <JohnDesigner> | when that message appears, pressing Rec key again does not start recording? |
| [14:36] | <MattJ> | It used to, I am pretty sure |
| [14:37] | <MattJ> | But no, I noticed it last week |
| [14:37] | <MattJ> | It doesn't now |
| [14:37] | <JohnDesigner> | MattJ: gah. |
| [14:37] | <JohnDesigner> | I'm ready to throw in the towel on the whole damned thing. |
| [14:38] | <JohnDesigner> | Trouble with the recording settings confirmation is that it is not really aimed at Geeks, but those are the only folks chiming in on the subject. |
| [14:38] | <JohnDesigner> | only folks that will too. |
| [14:39] | <MattJ> | I don't like the confirmation (I chimed in last time the issue came up) |
| [14:39] | <JohnDesigner> | did you disable it. |
| [14:39] | <JohnDesigner> | ? |
| [14:39] | <MattJ> | I did |
| [14:40] | <MattJ> | Settings were lost when I upgraded some time ago, so it is on now |
| [14:40] | <JohnDesigner> | MattJ: do you typically use only one recording settings and location combo? |
| [14:40] | <MattJ> | Always |
| [14:41] | <JohnDesigner> | ya, then its going to be useless to you. |
| [14:41] | <MattJ> | The OSD took over from my VCR |
| [14:41] | <MattJ> | and my VCR recorded instantly when I pressed record :) |
| [14:41] | <MattJ> | Pressing Record twice was a nice compromise |
| [14:41] | <MattJ> | I just kept pressing it until I saw the red light |
| [14:41] | <JohnDesigner> | right, but your vcr *always* records to the same thing. |
| [14:41] | <MattJ> | So does my OSD |
| [14:42] | <MattJ> | But I understand not everyone's does |
| [14:42] | <JohnDesigner> | what if you had an SDcard *and* Usb attached |
| [14:42] | <MattJ> | Part of the annoyance in the screen is that 90% of the time I press record without seeing the OSD's output on the TV screen |
| [14:42] | <MattJ> | *part of the annoyance in the confirmation |
| [14:43] | <JohnDesigner> | well, in general I am tired of explaining why it is there to those it was not meant to appease (disable it if not liked) |
| [14:44] | <MattJ> | You don't have to explain it to me :) |
| [14:44] | <JohnDesigner> | MattJ: and I know that you are not asking for an explanation |
| [14:44] | <JohnDesigner> | heh, I type slow, sorry |
| [14:44] | <MattJ> | Disabling it and/or Record == Enter is fine for me |
| [14:45] | <JohnDesigner> | ya, not having Record=Enter really kills any leg I have to stand on in the issue. |
| [14:50] | <JohnDesigner> | beginning to be not worth fighting about it since I seem to be an army of one on the topic. |
| [14:50] | <MattJ> | JohnDesigner: You are fighting on behalf of the masses of innocent users who have SD, CF, USB and network shares to record to on their OSD |
| [14:52] | <JohnDesigner> | MattJ: I find the confirmation useful. Actually, the much hailed Tivo works the same way. |
| [14:52] | * MattJ never saw or hailed a Tivo | |
| [14:52] | <JohnDesigner> | hehe |
| [14:53] | <JohnDesigner> | Tivo is not why I designed the behavior, but it does give some credibility to the notion. |
| [15:18] | <tarbo> | i hailed a tivo once, but it already had a passenger |
| [16:51] | * JohnDesigner adds a rimshot for tarbo ..badunk Ching. | |
| [22:55] | <allyourrejects> | nerochiaro: my install from trunk just failed just like Hostile's |
| [22:58] | <allyourrejects> | card gets mounted on hda1 instead of /media/ext |
| [23:02] | <allyourrejects> | agh, svn conflicted and didn't tell me :( bit by my own bug |
| [23:46] | <Hostile> | aha! |
| [23:46] | <MP0> | hmm, last time I tried a build from svn, it kept rebooting. I'm trying to do a clean rebuild. |
