Re: [mythtv-users] Help Developing MythWeb
actually, in the case of xfree86, that wasn't the bsd license. that was the MIT X license.the bsd license dropped its advertising clause a lng time ago...but to be safe you'd have to check the exact text they use for that project. the most modern version of the bsd license is compatible with the GPL.here's a suggestion for mythweb:frontend profile management.i think it would be a lot nicer if the frontends had remote settings manipulation...you set up...say...2 profiles of frontend settings for 4 frontends...you do that on mythweb. then on the frontends, all you need is a remote that you can hit 1 or 2 on...so the frontend knows to request config profile 1 or 2.why would this be useful?for one, if you have multiple frontends on the same type of hardware ( e.g. you bought three PCs / Mac Minis / etc at the same time for frontend work), it would be the only way to clone the settings to all of them as far as i know.for another, it would allow you to set up the frontend settings before you set up the frontend...meaning you might never even *need* to buy a keyboard for a frontend, let alone bring one into your living room. (hell...i think mythtv-setup shouldn't exist as an app...make it a webpage...move some of the options into a config webserver hard-linked into the backend...move others into a backend profile set up via mythweb, like the frontend profile idea) On 1/25/06, Chris Petersen [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Really, I have no idea about how all the licensing works.Any flash/actionscript gurus care to recreate something like musicplayer?Ah, if it's flash-based, it's probably fine.The issue with BSD is that it requires attribution, and the GPL explicitly forbids clauses that require you to do anything to the codeother than keep it GPL.-Chris___mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.orghttp://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users

Re: [mythtv-users] DViCO Fusion HDTV 5 Lite status?
i have a fusionhdtv 5 lite too...here are my thoughts. on #2, yes. #3, no...those channel numbers have no logical mapping to what you'll find with myth...comcast sends a special channel-you-see in listings and on your digital box - physical channel mapping table down via a proprietary means. mythtv will find the physical channels but probably not the mapping table.you can tune through whatever myth finds and pray that you can figure out what it is...but invariably a decent portion of it will be encrypted (or maybe even all, depending where you are). also, for one thing, i had to change part of the driver to get myth to work with mine...apparently the driver developer hardcoded the driver to always return a signal level of 0...so myth never wanted to tune in on the card. comcast doesn't put much program data out (where i am, anyway). one QAM channel carrying hidef local tv looks like there's epg data compliant with SCTE standard #54, but myth doesn't seem to know that spec. nothing else seems to have data.

Re: [mythtv-users] Re: Commercial Flagging, what are the best
The ratings that come with the XMLTV data...are they usually accurate? I have a crazy dream of somehow using *something* in the tv datastream to catch overtime FOX games and *not* record them automatically.(I have Myth set up to grab Simpsons @ 8, but I have a whole half hour on the back end as a buffer in case of OT games) I know I'm probably talking out of my @$$ here, but if ratings came with the XMLTV feed, would it be possible for Myth to watch the ratings and only record when the rating info changed to whatever the program was supposed to be rated? My guess is that live football is rating-less, but once the Simpsons came on, there'd be a ratingand that could be a signal to *save* the buffer to disk (in my case, I have no qualms about giving Myth 0.75 to 1.5 GB of RAM if need be for something like this). I envision something like this: @ 8 PM, Myth starts buffering video rating info to RAM for 2-3 min...if it doesn't see a rating that matches what XMLTV says it should, it starts dropping the oldest portion of that 2-3 min buffer. If it does see the rating match, it drops everything up to that point and starts spooling the mess to disk. It then records for the original length of time, regardless of whether or not that crosses a boundary (e.g. it records 8:15-8:45 and ignores whatever is *supposed* to be on at 8:30).
