Great, and since you're a veep not the president how well do you think
the president  will take it when he finds out you were attempting to
troll a mailing list for illegal software.  How do you think alll
those big copyright holders are going to feel when they find that
you've been violating the DMCA?

Seriously, how DID you get you job?  You've got about as much sense as
turnip.  Not only are you alienating the very people who could help
you, you're doing so in such a manner as to leave a VERY public record
of it with your company name attached to it.

I think there are a bunch of people on this list just going around
trying to pick a fight.  What the hell.

This list has been useful to me in the past.  Specifically, Donavan,
you've given me good advice here before, but the other people in this
thread just seem to be picking a fight, and it baffles me as to why.

When I first read the initial post, I thought.  Xine, thats what this
guy needs.  Of course, the first response here said that, so I just
went along about my business.  I had no idea that he was referring to
DeCSS, but others apparently did, so good for them.

Anthony, why did you bother to even respond?  I barely have enough
time to answer perteinent questions on the list for which I have some
input, let alone taking the time to flame people.  And while you may
want people like Richard off of this list, I'm absolutely sure your
actions will prevent a number of other people who read this list from
posting their questions for fear of not wording it right or getting
flamed.  Their questions might be something you have an actual answer
to, but we will never know, since they'll be afraid to post.

No, Donavan is right.  Using DeCSS on encrypted DVDs is a violation of
the DMCA.  Its just that I don't care.  The DMCA is a bad law and I
will not obey it where it confilcts with my fair use rights.  Now, you
are correct that no one has yet challenged the DMCA in court regarding
its encroachment on my fair use rights to view DVDs that I own, so we
don't that yet.

Of course Issac would note that DeCSS is not any part of Myth and is
not assoicate d with Myth in any way.

 Anthony, why did you bother to even respond?  I barely have enough
 time to answer perteinent questions on the list for which I have some
 input.

Because of his credentials of course. I mean..  I have to respond...
right ;) I responded because I thought the guy had a technical problem
playing DVDs and I asked him for more information. I honestly wasn't
trying to be rude at _all_.( tough love baby ) Hell, I even threw an
Office Space joke in there. I get a little upset that people include
credentials in their sigs. Sometimes my beliefs that we should all
be presented as equals on the list, and earn respect _here_ gets the
best of me. If that part seemed rude... well, delete your sig then.
Issac, I think no credentials in sigs would be a great policy for the
list. Really just clutters things up because most people _still_ top
post!

The best guess I had was that he wanted DVD menu support because of
him saying.. just like I do with my Denon DVD player. However, I
sometimes find that prodding for more information is more productive
then guessing. In this case I was absolutely right. My guess wasn't
even in the ball park, because the information provided was completely
and utterly misleading.

 let alone taking the time to flame people.

If _that_ was a flame we all need to lighten up a bit. If we can't
joke and make light of our human flaws and quirks, and harass each
other about them... we're all in serious trouble. So everyone.. stop
being so freaking serious. Especially you Power Trip Dick ( i get
that one free because you called me an idiot!! )

So lets get back to MythTV already.

How did the Xine suggestion work out for you?

Hey Everyone - 

I know that there 'appears' to be issues around watching DVD's
(actual, physical DVDs) under MythTV,  but I cannot seem to put my
finger on the resolution.

I know I need some typs of decoder or codec to allow MPlayer (and
hench Myth) the ability to watch DVDs just like I do with my Denon DVD
player.

Can someone point me in the right direction for the best solution.

My don't you use Xine instead of mplayer?  It has support for DVD
menus which is sweet.  It also is a lot easier to configure for AC3 or
any sort of audio out.  I just tell it to use PassThrough for all my
audio and it gets thrown out in AC3 for DVDs and PCM for everything
else.  Just make sure your asound.conf (or .asound) is correct.  I had
inadvertantly commented out a line and mplayer worked fine, but Xine
wouldn't pass out audio.  It's all working swizzle now.

  At the rate you are going, I can't see why anyone on this list would

  you the information we all need to help you out.. but he's absolutely
  right, you're question really didn't give us any information to go off
  of.  The majority of people who use Myth to play DVDs have absolutely
  NO issues and the information on how to accomplish that is abundant on
  the e-mail lists, in the documentation, in user write-ups, and in
  google.  If you want people to help you out, don't come on a mailing
  list and start calling people idiots.  You'll see how quickly these
  idiots come to ignore you.  Politeness gets you a long way, acting
  the way you do only makes you look like the fool.
 
  Also, I now know from your signature that if I ever had to do business

   Anthony -
  
   Don't worry - you don't sound like a jerk, you sound like an idiot.
  
   The reason (which you missed) around the appears is the legal issue
   of playing DVDs under Linux and the codec and decoder issues
   surronding these things.
  
   As quick a wit as you are at striking out, I am surprised that you missed 
   that.
  
   Thaks for nothing and please don't bother responding to any of my
   posts in the future.
  
   Thanks

That's such an executive response. I can almost hear Lumbergh's voice
in the text. There 'appears' to be issues with your.. umm, TPS
reports. All jokes aside.. Do you seriously think anyone could
possibly hope to do anymore then guess at solutions with the mannor in
which you've stated your problem? I don't want to sound like a jerk,
but given the credentials at the bottom of your email, you should know
how to properly form a technical question.
   
Answer these, and the minds on this list will surely solve all your
problems very quickly.
   
How is your myth installed, and what version? ( rpms or compiled )
What did you do to setup DVD playing in myth?
What happens when you play a DVD in myth?
What do you expect to happen when you play a DVD in myth?
   
 I know I need some typs of decoder or codec to allow MPlayer (and
 hench Myth) the ability to watch DVDs just like I do with my Denon DVD
 player.

 Can someone point me in the right direction for the best solution.

Re: [mythtv-users] Watching regular DVD's on MythTV

2005-03-30 Thread Jim Oltman
It's really easy to start a flame war when you sound like a complete
jackass then try to blame others for your faults.  A marine would
never do that.  You would think that with a CCNA (big whoop, my 15 yr
old cousin is a CCNA) you would better understand Linux and the GNU
license!!  Either way, you are not worth the time anymore.  I have
done what I set out to do, prove you wrong.  You still haven't proven
to me and EVERYONE ELSE IN THIS THREAD that you aren't a complete
douch.  Lata bitch tits!

 Your right Jim,
 
 This just keep getting better and better by the minute.
 Its rather interesting that a flame war can be started in a few short e-mails.
 
 You called me a dumb f**k..? Just to set the record straight -  former
 US Marine, CCNA, CSE, MCP, F5SE, CFI, CFII, COMM ASMEL, Rotor, FAA
 Accident Prevention Counselor, Current President of two school boards,
 president of my flying club, self employed for the last 16 years and a
 millionaire - all by 37. As far as blowing my boss - notice the part
 about being self employed..? While I am good at many things, self
 fellatio is not one of them.
 
 If thats a dumb f**k - I gladly accept that title.
 
 :-)
 
 Geeze I love the internet !!

  Alright buddy.  Let's break down your original email.
 
   I know that there 'appears' to be issues around watching DVD's
   (actual, physical DVDs) under MythTV,  but I cannot seem to put my

  Let's see, issues around watching DVDs...No mention of legality there.
   Sounds more like you couldn't figure out MythDVD
 
   I know I need some typs of decoder or codec to allow MPlayer (and
   hench Myth) the ability to watch DVDs just like I do with my 
   Denon DVD
   player.
  *
  If you actually read the lists, you would know that MPLAYER supports
  PLAYING DVDs up to the menu and that Xine will do what you want (play
  ACTUAL DVDS IN LINUX).  When you say decoder or codec you make NO
  MENTION OF LEGALITY ISSUES.  Damn, this is getting more difficult by
  the minute!
 
  
   Can someone point me in the right direction for the best solution.
 
  Why don't you crawl back to your crappy ISP and blow your boss because
  that is the ONLY way you are gonna keep your job.  Dumb fuck.  How
  about NOT flaming considerate people just because you can't word your
  questions corrrectly.
