I would like to give an idea I had for software (maybe a script). Where would be the best place for this on this site or elsewhere on the Internet? The idea is some software that will grab and put into a list all the streams available on various Internet TV sites such as URL.... I think such software could be very helpful for various open source software like XBMC Element HTPC and others. There are thousands of channels available on that site alone.
I have looked at several Podcast retrieving applications. However, none I have found so far do anything good with the Podcast information.
Almost every podcast contains tags that could be populated into metadata tags, it would seem, fairly easily. Having a podcast grabber that did so would certainly simplify using them on my iPod.
i constantly find myself opening and closing terminals (which, in turn, i lose output on the terminal window and what not..). i use the terminal screenlet app and i really enjoy that, but sometimes find it cumbersome to have to constantly minimize the current window to go to my desktop with the built in terminal screenlet. i had an idea for a panel applet that will do the following: it will act like the drawer applet, but when you click the button, a terminal window will un-roll and pop up with the past output from previous commands/work. you then can click the button again and have it roll back into the panel to wait for the next use, etc. has anything like this been done already for terminals? also, if not for terminals, has anything like this been done for any application? i ask because if i can get the previous source code, it will be much easier to modify it for terminal usage. (im a grad student and don't have much time to devote to a completely new formulation of code haha).
The panel is not expanded and the autohide buttons are not checked. As you can see I've set the background to transparent and removed the shadow via ccsm. The only thing that doesn't look nice are the "grabbers" to move the panel arround. Can they be modified to be transparent too? Maybe editing the theme?
I cannot set the panel to expand because I use a dock which would be partly covered by the panel.
I have a few AWS instances (linux micro, fedora-like) that occasionally (4x every 24hours) trip a CloudWatch monitor for CPU utilization. alarm => 85% at 5 minute slices.
The problem with this is that we're unsure WHAT is causing it. I have an idea to poll cpu usage every 5 mins and if there's a spike (eg, => 85%) then dump some process table stuff exposing the offenders.
It seem like a good idea to leave the computer along when it is updating. Because if for some reason I still using the computer, it might interrupt the updating process.(e.g. update manager freeze, or corrupt some file) I remember I run into this problem quite a few times back in FC6, but did not have problem on F10 and F11(merging from preview?) until the day before yesterday. I was tried to downloading a relative large file updating system and running 2 folding at home in the terminal at the same time (ram usage at the time was around 300+/512). Then disaster strike. The hard drive spin like crazy with large cpu I/O pending(or wait time?). The problem reoccur during the boot up and login after the update.
And this is the message continue recorded in the (F11) log: Oct 17 11:52:22 localhost kernel: ata1.00: exception Emask 0x0 SAct 0x0 SErr 0x0 action 0x0 Oct 17 11:52:22 localhost kernel: ata1.00: BMDMA stat 0x24 Oct 17 11:52:22 localhost kernel: ata1.00: cmd c8/00:08:22:9c:57/00:00:00:00:00/e6 tag 0 dma 4096 in Oct 17 11:52:22 localhost kernel: res 51/40:07:23:9c:57/00:00:00:00:00/e6 Emask 0x9 (media error) Oct 17 11:52:22 localhost kernel: ata1.00: status: { DRDY ERR } Oct 17 11:52:22 localhost kernel: ata1.00: error: { UNC } Oct 17 11:52:22 localhost kernel: ata1.00: configured for UDMA/100 Oct 17 11:52:22 localhost kernel: ata1: EH complete
I saw this message in F10 before, and had been told it might have something to do with the kernel. But I suspect the problem is source from corrupted file rather than kernel this time around, since back then the problem will go away after a successful file system check. Unfortunately, it does not work this time. So I have no choice to reinstall the system. Therefore, I am thinking if it is really a bad ideal to let the computer muti-tasking during the update? Because it may rise the possibility of update failure or system files corruption. I really do not like LVM, is there a way to get around it? The installer from live usb does not allow me to customize partition during the installing....
I am wondering if I set the /home/user/.evolution folder to synchronise with ubuntu one on my eee, and then when I update the desktop remove the /.evolution folder and replace it with the one synchronised with ubuntu one would all my setting and messages be copied as well or not? And no I can use Imap as I use that dreaded thing known as hotmail! My desktop is running 8.04 but is due an upgrade soon so I can test my idea out!
Recently I have working on an older robot that I got which happens to have an onboard computer (Versalogic VSBC-8) on which I was able to install Lenny on. This system also has a Imagenation PCX200 frame grabber installed on it as well. The problem I am having is that no matter which software I use in Lenny, webcam,etc,etc I either get an error that the device is in use or I get a blank screen, The camera that is hooked up to it works fine as I had tested it on another pc. I also verified that the permissions were set correctly for the device in /dev
I have been googling for any kind of information on how to get this working with Lenny without much luck, before I had installed Lenny it had an old version of Redhat 8 installed on it, unfortunately the hard drive died and it was replaced, hence lenny.
I've been trying to get my Hauppauge USB Live 2 video grabber to work under Ubuntu 10.04. I have installed the drivers, and using TVTime I get a perfect picture - but no sound, and also I can't record with it. I have found a guide on how to get it with sound using MythTV, but it seems I fail at setting it up. It tells me it couldn't find the backend server, but it's running in my terminal.
I have to run "pppd call idea" command from root shell every time to connect to internet from mobile. Now I want a script so that I just run it to connect. Something like :
#!/bin/sh echo "password" --stdin | su - pppd call idea
But its showing error that "standard in must be a tty". Why is this. Using CentOS 5.5
I've been waiting for nVidia for too long or any genius for me to get things working about my ASUS N53JF and this Optimus tech on it.My brother has a FULL HD 1080P waiting for me Is there a way I could get HDMI through his tv without paying for another laptop or nettop or media player.I saved the original HD image with Windows 7 that came with it but oh my. i don't want to come back to Windows.I've been in Ubuntu since Lucid Lynx (that was on my Sony VAIO VGN-AW120D, now waiting to be repared - no money for the reparation broke).
I thought that I would insert the Windows 7 HD image each time I go visit my brother but do any of you have other solutions .. workaround? I mean stable solution, i've heard that Optimus is no where near what Windows 7 can do with this technology Optimus workaround idea for playing through HDMI.
I am interested in the following problem: given a string (pattern) find a regexp which match this pattern. I will need this for a developing of an idea 'pattern based filtration'.
It seems I might be having an issue that's a non-issue. I am not able to stream/ connect to a stream using vlc.I've looked at a few walk-throughs; I follow the steps and as often as not I get no error messages but cannot connect to a stream.
I've been trying to get my server running 9.10 to stream video over http through VLC [URL], but am using port 8080 for tomcat. Is there any other way to stream or change the port that VLC uses?
With the new pricing plans and streaming service I am strongly considering upgrading my U1 account.
1. Is there a way (or will there be) to stream from U1 to an Ubuntu desktop? For instance, I have an Ubuntu desktop/media server that I utilize as a media hub for my home. It has more storage than I'll ever use. The main PC I use however is a HP netbook with a much smaller hard drive. I'd like to sync all of my music from the media server to U1 so that I can access my entire collection via my Android phone. I'd like to be able to do the same with the netbook but if I sync it to U1 it quickly fills the hard drive. Is there a solution for this?
2. I doesn't appear that the U1 Mobile comes with additional space, is that true? (seems a little steep for just streaming while limiting you to 2gb)
I have XP and Ubuntu on my computer, and the only thing that keeps me using Windows is that I need to view streaming WMV videos for school. I use windows media player for this almost every day, and I also use the play speed settings to speed up the videos to 1.5x.
I tried watching the videos in Ubuntu using VLC, but I keep having trouble navigating through the video, and even pausing and restarting doesn't seem to work right. Is there a program that will do this reliably, or is there a way to get WMP running in ubuntu? I would love to get rid of windows, but all of my lectures are streamed solely in WMV, and I would need to get this working.
We have remote offices and we'd like all announcements in one office to stream to the other offices, to play on the speakers connected to VLC machines there. We can stream audio with VLC when working with a file, but how would we stream all audio produced by a single machine?
Ideally this would stream anything coming in from AUX/Line-In jack, as well as any other sound that the computer would make. I'd prefer to use cvlc (CLI version) rather than the GUI VLC, but whatever I can get would be good.We can run either Debian 5.0.x Lenny with 0.8.6.h-4+lenny2, or Debian 6.0.x Squeeze with 1.1.3-1squeeze2
Is there any way to check if a url points to a streaming video file or not programmatically. For example with this url : [URL].. I should get TRUE and with the url : [URL]..should return FALSE.
Program in any language will be okay but it ll be good if its Perl or PHP or Python or JAVA, JavaScript or SHELL script. I am working on LINUX. (note: i m not going to check with .....'s just for example's sake i ve used .....
I need to stream a webpage to my application and i tried something like this but i get segmentation faults. Is there any example in c and/or gtk that i can peek on.
i have a PC (debian wheezy) in my LAN that serves as dlna server, especially for my TV. it runs minidlna from the repository and the system is nice.i have a stream that comes from the Internet and i can see it in URl... i can see that stream to my PC or to my mobile through a browser or VLC.is it possible to get that stream in DLNA to serve it in my LAN for devices that cannot see it directly, such as my TV?
For some reason while Cheese will take photos with my webcam there's no photo stream and it doesn't save photos to my /home/jonquil/Pictures/Webcam directory. Does anyone know of a way to fix this, or is there another application I can use to take photos?
This plays fine in VLC, and there's a "Record" button there but I'm never prompted to save the recording anywhere. I wandered through preferences but didn't see any default capture directory fields.Where/how do I capture the stream for playback later? The docs that I've stumbled across so far are pretty outdated (but I'm still googling).
Under 11.3 32bit I could play my favorite station with vlc, but not with any other audio player. Under 11.4 32bit it stops playing after about a minute without any error reporting. Sometimes it starts up again, speeded up, then stops. Here's how I invoke it from the command line...
There is an udp video stream accessible only on the local network, but I need to access it outside of the network. I have Linux machine (multiple actually) with root access.There is a small utility that makes the stream accessible on the local machine on port 1234.
./ping -h streamserver -p 1234
If I run it I can access the stream using vlc or mplayer.
mplayer udp://@:1234 vlc udp://@:1234
Now, I'm trying to create a port foward from my remote machine and access the port, but it is failing.
I've used VLC for years, in both windows and linux. In windows streaming, you can select "NONE" for a Video Input, and just stream audio. This is not the case for Ubuntu's version.What can I do to stream just audio in VLC?
