This is far, far out of my comfort zone thst i wsill just skip it for now. i have my feed from my local telco, not an antenna The BrookTree TV tuner component doesn't make a big difference here. Both the antenna and the cable will deliver a frequency conglomerate of the available TV programs which the tuner chip can select from. If you require a specific cable receiver with video-out, you can send its signal to the card's video-on (and the audio-out of the receiver to your computer's sound card's line-in), skipping the part where the TV card has to select a TV program. Both methods work fine. thanks for all the datapoints, guys, but i can vedry well live without the card. In that case, try to find a web presence that allows you to down- load or to stream (and in conclusion, to download) the TV programs. This makes you independent of airing time (which probably is a good thing). Maybe there's also a service like OnlineTVRecorder.com (Your personal multichannel tv recorder) available for you, providing downloads for the programs you want in AVI or OTRKEY format. -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ... ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

Additionally, there may be an option to download some kind of media
streams. There are tools for that available.
There is cx88 in the ports which will cover a lot of pci devices, and
webcamd covers just about all the rest. Then use mplayer or another
tool to record the stream.
And if you're real tricky you can set it to record at a specific time
and shut off at another specified time... :) I wrote a script for
this; a bit hackish, but it gets the job done. I have to clean it up
someday when I have the spare time.
No one suggesting MythTV? I haven't used a tuner card but I thought
MythTV was the one to use.
Pah! Too much bloat - especially for this use.
A lot of setup and configuration is required, and for a one off why bother?
so that's it. i messed around with mythtv last fall on my
ubuntu distro. couldn't get anywhere and finally realized
that =you need some kind of HARDWARE=. well, bleep that. i
de-installed and got back to whatever.
sinced early december i've been working on an accessibility
app for the speech impaired. it won't work on the berkeley
distros natively. it should given our linux stuff. i'll
tell you: i haven't have this much of a challenge since i
was studying data structures. Danm, gtk is hard. but
super fun. my application is as lean as i can make it,
Especially since it is aimed an people who have never used
computers before. i'm copying as much of gespeaker's
layout as i can because that is very lean and clean.
---this is a long-winded way of saying to da rock that i
hope you clean up your script[s] and publish the code in
/usr/ports.
{a final rant about copyright:: i woulnd never touch any
commercial station because they sneak in those bloody
commerc*als on you. before you know it, you've watched
a minute of babes trying to sell you your Zippy-Do sports

I'm not sure how to handle TV (antenna) input as I've always been using a raw video feed (from VTR or camera). However, there's documentation that may help: http://www.mplayerhq.hu/DOCS/HTML/en/tv-input.html It also contains an example to record to file, which will implement the software video tape recoder functionality. Brooktrees would be nice - if you could find them. Given the move to DVB is nearly over, there aren't many analog cards available - or need for them. The new cards use incompatible chipsets (learnt the hard way), including analog and especially DVB; you have to use the cx88 port to use them. Or if you come across a different chipset ensure the card is USB based and use webcamd. Following all that, FBSD works beautifully as a HTPC. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

Would the freebsd world not be a happier place if make did the dependancy thingies what ever they are automatically ? ... Re: dependencies, it should be simple to understand if you give it a moment's thought. Let's say you have a file main.c that calls functions in foo.c. In order for main.c to compile and link properly to create a complete, executable program, it's absolutely essential that foo.c be compiled and linked in as well. What Makefile dependencies are about is ensuring that, if a change is made to foo.c, it will be recompiled and relinked with main.c to guarantee that the final executable is up to date in all respects. Certainly a sensible point, but not the way I understood 'makedepend' to work. As Conrad said, 'make' can be directed to compare the currency of the files upon which a particular product file (compiled object, library, executable, or other type) depends, so that all product files for which the components have changed _are_ rebuilt, but a maximum number of product Sorry - I meant minimum --^^^ files (i.e., unchanged objects being linked into a library) are unnecessarily rebuilt. Many of these rules I put in manually. 'make' only knows some 'generic' rules (what is done to change a *.c into a *.o, for example), plus the explicit dependencies I have written into my Makefile. 'makedepend' is a way to automatically generate the file-specific rules that can be deduced from a [source] file's own contents: usually those secondary files that are brought into it by '#include' pragmas. These auxiliary rules are written onto the Makefile and become part of it. These files are not necessarily separately compiled; I find your definition a bit misleading on this. 'makedepend' is given a list of files to scan, and places to look for included files. My 'depend' rule looks like this: +++ depend: makedepend -- $(CFLAGS) -- $(SRCS) -- $(INCLUDES) # DO NOT DELETE THIS LINE -- make depend depends on it. +++ That funky last line really tells 'makedepend' where it should write the new rules onto my Makefile. Before using a Makefile on a group of sources, or when source files are added to the build, I remove all the generate rules which have been added below the '# DO NOT DELETE ...' line and rebuild the 'depend' target - which is the Makefile itself: $ make depend Typical rules automagically added by 'makedepend' are: +++ ... BufRing.o: ../Llcommon/SEBase.h StdAfx.h BufRing.h Camera.o: ../Llcommon/SEBase.h StdAfx.h ../Llcommon/commonStruct.h Camera.o: ../Llcommon/secureeye.h ../Llcommon/memCtrl.h Camera.o: ../Llcommon/retCodes.h ../Llcommon/LiveShare.h Camera.h Camera.o: ../Llcommon/Common.h Pump.h BufRing.h CamData.h Snap.h INet.h Camera.o: Player.h INet.o: ../Llcommon/SEBase.h StdAfx.h /usr/include/stdlib.h ... +++ The effect of these added rules is that if I change [say] 'BufRing.h' then do 'make all', 'BufRing.c' and 'Camera.c' would be recompiled, but not necessarily 'INet.c' 'make' isn't very bright, but (like 'cpp') it can be _very_ handy. - John Mills [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- - John Mills [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
oops... sysinstall from X
I made the mistake of trying to build and install the gimp port from an xterm. When I came back to it, it had started sysinstall to configure the ghostscript driver. Sysinstall looks great in an xterm, but unfortunately keystrokes aren't mapped in a manner which works. e.g. The down arrow is echoed as ^[0B, and while normal characters such as 'x' and space are echoed properly, the sysinstall program apparently isn't seeing them -- the characters are simply echoed over (replacing) the text sysinstall has painted on the display, instead of doing the right thing such as selecting / deselecting the current item. Is there some simple way out of this? I've still got the xterm up and would like to finish this install. Or should I just kill it, exit X, and try make from a normal vty?

Ahhh. Figured out what it was. I had run the make and piped it into tee to have a hard copy of the log. Apparently something about the pipe screws up the input. The log is full of vty escape sequences, obviously from the screen painting. Seems like this is a bug of sorts. Not sure the screen painting should go to the log, and the keyboard problem is obviously a problem.

A serious Oops moment
So I was trying to properly install a new 200G WD HDD on a Highpoint controller and wasn't having any luck, so I figured I might as well try getting the USB2 Enclosure working with the machine too while I was at it (also a 200G drive, but formatted for NTFS), connecting the drive and going back to seeing where I might have the highpoint controller recognized I forgot all about the USB drive --- bad mistake. I went into the /stand/sysinstall under fdisk and saw I had a 200G drive there, Oh, I must have done something to enable the HighPoint controller I said .. let's edit it .. Strange, it's reporting NTFS/QNX/.. did I get a drive with something on it ? I was unable to mount the drive with NTFS (it wasn't in my kernel) so I just said forget it and tried to fdisk, it tossed a warning about doing the fdisk separately from the disklabel, so I said, ok , I'll wait.. and went off to do the disklabel at the same time. at which point on trying to disklabel the disc I believe the disklabel wrote out (improperly) and then crashed the PC -- at which point I realized my mistake. I don't think that the full write even started because it was a hard crash and occurred very soon after I executed the command, I don't have the debug screen that appeared afterward, it was a kernel panic.

Oops! Your mail to fn@hungry.com
Hey there, My name's Terry Mo d'Angeles. I handle all of Faried Nawaz's email sent to [EMAIL PROTECTED] A virtual secretary, if you will. I don't believe we've corresponded; I don't quite recognize your email address. Then again, I only started the other day -- I'm new here. My main job these days is sorting email. Spam's a major problem these days, you see, so I sort through all the email I get, weed out the spam, and forward it on to my boss (you know him -- he's the man you want to email). I have this nifty program I downloaded off the net. It makes my job a lot easier -- it helps me keeps track of people I've already talked with in the past. Could you send me a message at [EMAIL PROTECTED] for my records? (Simply replying to this email will work, too.) That way my program will recognize you whenever you send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED], and I won't have to eyeball it. I'll hold your email in my inbox for 14 days, waiting for your reply.

Made a big oops and formatted the wrong partition.
Oops. I had an NTFS drive containing about 10GB in MP3s. And my backups of those MP3s, waiting to be burned. Until today, anyhow, when I deleted the partition, made a FreeBSD partition in its place, and proceeded to install over it all. I'm using a hex tool to try and find it on the drive, but I'm not sure how to look, as I'm not sure what the mkfs process does. Is there any point in even looking, or is it futile? Sorry to bother the mailing list with something so trivial, but I figured it wouldn't hurt to try. Please reply to me ( [EMAIL PROTECTED] ) as I'm not on the mailing list.
