| 00:45.55 | AntiXpucT | but if i try to using "on screen" Ctrl button in X terminal - kb layout switchin normally... |
| 00:47.07 | AntiXpucT | btw, Fn key don't "stick" now :(( |
| 00:47.39 | villager | friggin' yay... strace won't help much, it's a private ioctl which is just used to encapsulates a command passed to a binary driver blob |
| 00:48.35 | cehteh | villager: somehow i expected that :P |
| 00:48.47 | cehteh | well you can dump the ioctl |
| 00:49.15 | cehteh | -- or get a big bat |
| 00:49.36 | villager | not easily I suspect... the ioctl points to a structure which contains an embedded pointer to the real request |
| 00:50.02 | cehteh | yeah thats pita |
| 00:52.55 | villager | maybe I'll just have to give in and use the gstreamer plugin that interfaces with the proprietary module |
| 00:53.07 | cehteh | for what? |
| 00:53.16 | villager | to adjust the white balance and stuff? |

| 00:53.51 | villager | well, it's for my hobby project... CyborgEye |
| 00:54.21 | cehteh | prolly a good idea to use gstreamer for that, every firmware update may change the ioctl |
| 00:55.14 | villager | the regular v4l2src gstreamer plugin on the pc didn't offer nearly as much control over the camera as direct v4l2 did |

| 02:27.30 | LinuxCode | also, Intel "apparently" switched to rpm |
| 02:27.45 | LinuxCode | a few months before that announcement |
| 02:27.47 | LinuxCode | hehe |
| 02:27.52 | LinuxCode | all a tad....weird |
| 02:27.54 | cehteh | Hydroxide: not checks, rather hardcode the things which where meant to be dynamically upgradeable |
| 02:28.01 | LinuxCode | I bet some accountants came up with the idea |
| 02:28.06 | LinuxCode | "lets safe money" |
| 02:28.15 | Hydroxide | LinuxCode: right - intel was using deb before, and they switched to rpm to get a feature that deb also supports even if debian isn't currently using it the way they want |
| 02:28.33 | LinuxCode | well, Im not complaining |
| 02:28.35 | LinuxCode | ;-p |
| 02:29.02 | cehteh | i think this merger isnt bad ... but how nokia treats the community is, even dedicated community managers dont get proper response and care |
| 02:29.10 | LinuxCode | but would be nice to know what will happen, before I spend £500 for a brick |
| 02:29.18 | LinuxCode | or rather potential brick |
| 02:29.36 | Hydroxide | well, I'm not complaining about the RPM decision primarily because it would serve no useful purpose to do so, and it really is a minor detail assuming they were already going to stop using debian as upstream. |
| 02:29.43 | cehteh | well i spend the money because the device is open enough not to end as a brick |
| 02:29.54 | Hydroxide | cehteh: yes, agreed |
| 02:29.55 | cehteh | but still left with a bad taste |
| 02:30.07 | LinuxCode | cehteh, N900... open ? |
| 02:30.15 | LinuxCode | gps chips, phone stuff... |
| 02:30.22 | LinuxCode | is that accessible from mer ? |
| 02:30.23 | cehteh | open enough ... i didnt say its completely open |
| 02:30.27 | LinuxCode | k |
| 02:30.31 | jaem_n900 | cehteh, agreed - and many phones are worse for support, no? |
| 02:30.33 | LinuxCode | see, thats what bugs me |
| 02:30.33 | Hydroxide | LinuxCode: vastly more so than any other full-featured (i.e. not neo frerunner) mobile phone out there |

| 02:31.53 | luke-jr | cehteh: I decided that with N810, more or less |
| 02:32.06 | LinuxCode | luke-jr, well, if mainstream linux dev get interested enough |
| 02:32.07 | cehteh | the n810 was less open than the n900 is |

| 02:32.48 | LinuxCode | etc.. |
| 02:33.00 | LinuxCode | cehteh, less open ? really ? |
| 02:33.02 | luke-jr | LinuxCode: IMO, they should make devices, provide BSD-licensed reference drivers or specs, then market it to software developers who add software and sell the final product to end users |
| 02:33.21 | LinuxCode | luke-jr, interesting concept |
| 02:33.30 | cehteh | the n810 kernel was tainted iirc (i dont own one) |
| 02:33.32 | GeneralAntilles | LinuxCode, yes, the N810 and Diablo are significantly less open than the N900 and Fremantle. |
| 02:33.36 | LinuxCode | but.... then we end up with Vodafone OS |
| 02:33.37 | luke-jr | LinuxCode: N810 was probably 25-30% open |
| 02:33.39 | LinuxCode | etc.. |
| 02:34.00 | LinuxCode | GeneralAntilles, well thats good news at least |
| 02:34.08 | luke-jr | well, depends I suppose |
| 02:34.20 | luke-jr | N900 is probably more closed overall, but the closed stuff no longer runs on the main system CPU |

| 02:36.33 | luke-jr | anyhow, N900 (and all smartphones) have two CPUs; Nokia moved a good portion of the closed software from the main one to the phone one |

| 04:43.04 | crashanddie | well, they were going all over freenode, so I just disabled unregistered users |
| 04:43.26 | erikOH | I am not sure, here is the right place. I am currently writing a GTK application in C that should run on both debian and maemo-which-one-is-one-the-n810-again |
| 04:43.34 | crashanddie | diablo |
| 04:43.43 | crashanddie | if it happens in the future, you might want to create an account with freenode, it's fast, easy and free, and most channels are implementing the ban on unregistered users |

| 04:44.50 | erikOH | I am trying to draw something gnuplot-like in a window |
| 04:45.07 | erikOH | I am currently using a GtkImage with GdkImage as a backend |
| 04:45.22 | erikOH | But I am unable to draw text to this Image. |
| 04:45.43 | erikOH | In fact, I am unable to get a valid GdkDrawable from the GdkImage |
| 04:46.38 | erikOH | does someone have an idea of what I might be doing wrong ? |
| 04:46.40 | crashanddie | erikOH: I don't it's possible tbh |
| 04:47.24 | crashanddie | erikOH: you might want to ask in #gtk as they know the subsystem more precisely (I would recommend getting your app to work on debian first, and then modify it to work with maemo) |
| 04:48.06 | crashanddie | or, you could attempt using liqbase. It's a very high-speed low-level library. It doesn't provide nice windows like Gtk, but it has some fun features if you want to go bare-metal |
| 04:48.25 | erikOH | I am trying to make it work on debian first but chechking periodically everything is fine on diablo because I don't want to have to redo everything :) |
| 04:49.47 | erikOH | I'll go ask on #gtk, they will probably have a better insight |

| 06:58.53 | lucent | so hi people, I'm trying to use qtirreco and I have some trouble identifying whether it is sending IR codes or not |
| 06:59.18 | lucent | additionally, the device I want to send IR codes to is not in the LIRC DB |
| 06:59.39 | lucent | I've purchased an USB-UIRT and used irrecord on a laptop system to record the commands |
| 07:00.10 | lucent | I guess these are "raw" commands. Is there some discussion avenue for me to ask questions about the IR hardware and LIRC on N900? |
| 07:03.31 | Stskeeps | headdesks at tmo |
| 07:04.00 | lucent | Stskeeps: sounds like an extreme version of faceplam. |
| 07:05.33 | Stskeeps | it is people going absolutely balistic over not having info about maemo6 or meego on n900 |
| 07:05.57 | Stskeeps | while not understanding that they are still going to get the apps from this |
| 07:06.52 | lucent | that meego announcement was a load of FAIL. |

| 07:22.40 | RST38h | Also, I asked at #meego who will supply the baseline end-user apps and got ignored by the Intel guy, twice |
| 07:23.09 | Stskeeps | i think that's 'typical' differentitation |
| 07:23.12 | RST38h | Stskeeps: It is not the OBS but the Moblin itself being basically an Atom-specific distro. |
| 07:23.18 | Stskeeps | right |
| 07:23.41 | lucent | wow |
| 07:23.54 | RST38h | With Intel having zero interest in porting it to something else, I guess |

| 07:24.14 | lucent | I just grabbed my N900 by it's Nokia CP-321 case, and managed to move the case in such a way as to fling the N900 out of the case flying across my room |
| 07:24.17 | lucent | :x |
| 07:24.20 | Stskeeps | so i think i have a hint about where it'll come from. |
| 07:24.37 | RST38h | lucent: coool! so how far did it fly? |
| 07:24.49 | lucent | RST38h: wasn't running n900fly at the time |
| 07:24.55 | lucent | approximately 4 meters |
| 07:25.00 | lucent | it survived. |
| 07:25.03 | lucent | I think? |

| 07:25.33 | lucent | I'm swearing up a storm here at my clumsy actions |
| 07:25.51 | lucent | you know what I'm really confused about the state of IR on N900 |
| 07:26.06 | RST38h | What is there to be confused about? |
| 07:26.08 | Stskeeps | lucent: i think people need to write something saner than irreco |
| 07:26.14 | lucent | uh, yeah |
| 07:26.20 | RST38h | The old gtk irreco does not work any more. |
| 07:26.30 | lucent | not at all? |
| 07:26.32 | RST38h | The new qt irreco kinda works but is so buggy that you do not wanna use it |
| 07:26.33 | ptl | does anyone know how do I use N900's console? |
| 07:26.37 | RST38h | lirc works |
| 07:26.44 | *** join/#maemo sge (~username@62.240.71.4) |
| 07:26.46 | lucent | I just used irrecord on USB-UIRT from a laptop to record a remote, and generate a config file |
| 07:26.52 | lucent | I used that config file on my N900 with qtirreco |
| 07:26.54 | RST38h | So, the easiest solution would be to write a python app that talks to Lirc |
| 07:26.55 | ptl | I mean n900 serial connection |
| 07:26.58 | lucent | no response from the intended device |
| 07:27.13 | Stskeeps | ptl: you need a special connection to the pads below the battery |
| 07:27.17 | Stskeeps | which ones, i don't know |
| 07:27.18 | lucent | ptl: serial connection? I don't know of any wired breakout, you'd want like a bluesmirf or other bluetooth |
| 07:27.47 | lucent | unless you really, really, really need a serial console as Stskeeps describes |
| 07:28.11 | lucent | Stskeeps: also I can't find a solid answer about whether the N900 IR is transmit-only in hardware |
| 07:28.16 | ptl | it is as Stskeeps describes, I want to know what kind of special connection is that |
| 07:28.25 | jacekowski | lucent: it can't be |
| 07:28.35 | ptl | why it can't be? |
| 07:28.44 | ptl | in the forums everybody said it is |
| 07:28.50 | jacekowski | that's what most IR protocols require as far as i know |
| 07:29.09 | lucent | and so I'm still looking for concrete answer about this ;) |
| 07:29.12 | jacekowski | when you send something over IR it can detect that something is recieving it |
| 07:29.24 | jacekowski | or that it's just transmiting into the air |
| 07:29.35 | ptl | it's if IRDA |
| 07:29.39 | ptl | but it's not IRDA-compatible |
| 07:29.40 | RST38h | really how |
| 07:29.45 | ptl | it's consumer IR, CIR |
| 07:29.59 | Stskeeps | lucent: i think it's only transmit only, afaik |
| 07:30.17 | lucent | well, it's speculation |
| 07:30.24 | lucent | I value your opinion of course |
| 07:30.35 | lucent | okay so I'm pointing my N900 with qtirreco loaded, pointed this at a web cam |
| 07:30.46 | lucent | I don't see any action in the webcam output |
| 07:30.48 | lucent | no blinky thing |
| 07:31.19 | lucent | either webcam has a fancy IR filter or it's just not happening |
| 07:32.10 | RST38h | fancy filter. |
| 07:32.18 | jacekowski | silicon is transparent to IR |
| 07:32.32 | lucent | huh? |
| 07:32.34 | jacekowski | and there as special addons to it to make it even detect it |
| 07:32.53 | jacekowski | but pure silicon as such is ideally transparent for IR light |
| 07:33.13 | lucent | not the N900's webcam mind you I'm using Logitech 9000 Pro on a laptop |
| 07:33.24 | jacekowski | that's why nobody is doing thermal cams with silicn based sensor |
| 07:33.51 | jacekowski | lucent: it's same silicon |
| 07:34.01 | jacekowski | lucent: try it on known working remote |
| 07:34.13 | lucent | jacekowski: unfortunately I don't own a remote control, heh |
| 07:34.25 | lucent | I will try with my camera phone which I know shows infrared on its cam |
| 07:34.52 | lucent | ya it's dark |
| 07:34.55 | lucent | no blinky light |
| 07:35.20 | lucent | need to debug this somehow |
| 07:35.47 | flux | jacekowski, hm, are you saying n900's webcam cannot see IR? because it can. |

| 07:36.47 | jacekowski | i meant that in general cameras are less sensitive to IR than to any other colours |
| 07:37.12 | flux | that may be correct, but usually you don't point a camera towards lights |
| 07:37.23 | jacekowski | that's because silicon is transparent to ir |
| 07:37.36 | flux | rather towards surfaces that reflect light. but in this case he's pointing the camera directly at an IR light source. |
| 07:37.36 | lucent | fact is that most webcam / camera sensors are sensitive to IR, and there is an IR-block filter because of this |
| 07:37.50 | jacekowski | lucent: only to near ir |
| 07:37.57 | lucent | you got me there |
| 07:38.02 | lucent | near-IR like in remote controls |
| 07:38.09 | lucent | not IR like in thermal imaging cameras |
| 07:38.10 | jacekowski | yes |
| 07:38.31 | lucent | for my purposes I'm in error to call this IR |
| 07:38.47 | jacekowski | i've read article about a bloke claiming that he can see ir |
| 07:38.59 | lucent | *facepalm* |
| 07:39.00 | flux | what is the area of light between IR and visible light called? |
| 07:39.02 | jacekowski | but there was no source |
| 07:39.20 | lucent | flux: usually referenced "near-Infrared" |
| 07:39.35 | lucent | NIR or just "IR" if you're some dumb skunk like myself? |
| 07:40.04 | lucent | anyhow I don't see output from my N900 which would explain why the television isn't doing anything when I point 'n shoot |
| 07:40.27 | jacekowski | it's broken |
| 07:41.31 | flux | mine works (irreco) |
| 07:41.46 | flux | so it's not an pr-related problem :) |
| 07:41.57 | lucent | flux: I'd like to quiz you some more on that ;) |
| 07:42.15 | lucent | flux: are you using irreco? qtirreco? which release of Maemo? |
| 07:42.18 | lucent | it's N900 right? |
| 07:42.25 | flux | irreco, pr1.1.1, n900 |
| 07:42.42 | flux | lucent, do you have lircd running? |
| 07:42.50 | lucent | mine says Nokia N900 / Maemo 5 / Version 3.2010.02-8.002 |
| 07:43.00 | lucent | flux: lircd runs when qtirreco is active |
| 07:43.06 | lucent | otherwise it is not running |
| 07:43.34 | flux | mine is running always |
| 07:43.56 | flux | actually, scratch that |
| 07:43.58 | flux | it's not :-) |
| 07:44.16 | flux | I just remember that I had started it manually when debugging it when setting it up |
| 07:45.22 | flux | hm, mine actually says '1.2009.44-1' still. it may be related to the fact that I've done all upgrades with apt.. |
| 07:45.32 | lucent | debugging huh, what commands can you use to send output? |
| 07:45.41 | flux | iirc irsend |

| 07:46.14 | lucent | that's okay I can manpage once I know where to look :) |
| 07:46.48 | flux | my real problem when setting that up was that I had a broken remote configuration file there |
| 07:46.57 | flux | lirc wouldn't even start. but apparently yours does, so that's not it. |
| 07:48.20 | lucent | "irsend -a localhost 8765 -d /dev/lirc0" .... |

| 07:51.10 | lucent | oh yeah interesting |
| 07:51.34 | lucent | so I'm looking more into how qtirreco starts lircd because I need to know what the name of the remote config is to use irsend with it |
| 07:51.53 | lucent | also I am drinking another glass of Havens Velvet wine |
| 07:52.00 | lucent | anticipates success |
| 07:55.15 | lucent | flux: qtirreco is just failing hard I think, (irsend -a localhost:8765 LIST "" "") has no output |
| 07:55.33 | lucent | flux: do you have your N900 handy? if you would be so kind to run that command as appropriate with your configuration |
| 07:55.51 | lucent | does it output a list of remote info when you do: irsend LIST "" "" |
| 07:57.59 | flux | it does |
| 07:58.09 | lucent | okay thanks a heap mate |
| 07:58.10 | flux | apparently for each command |
| 07:58.22 | lucent | mine outputs nothing meaning that qtirreco is failing hard |
| 07:58.30 | flux | hm |
| 07:58.34 | lucent | :) |
| 07:58.53 | flux | shouldn't irsend work regardless of how qtirreco is failing or not? |
| 07:59.12 | flux | irsend being part of lircd |
| 07:59.38 | flux | in other words, you need to have irsend working before qtirreco can work |
| 08:00.01 | lucent | flux: qtirreco is responsible for starting lircd in my observation here |
| 08:00.28 | lucent | so if qtirreco is not starting lircd with the right configurations, it won't have the remotes defined, nothing can be referenced when you go to send a command |
| 08:00.36 | lucent | just the working hypothesis |
| 08:00.45 | flux | lucent, what happens when you /etc/init.d/lirc start as root? |
| 08:00.55 | lucent | flux: do I dare try it? |
| 08:01.01 | lucent | looks squeamish |
| 08:01.21 | lucent | don't give me any of your "SURE WHAT COULD GO WRONG AS ROOT?" nonsense! |

| 18:06.01 | Markus23 | isnt there also a plan to have Maemo 5 MeeGo compatible? |
| 18:06.12 | w00t_ | Markus23: 'compatible' is a funny word |
| 18:06.13 | GAN900 | mgedmin, for app devs and users it shouldn't matter |
| 18:06.18 | w00t_ | Markus23: 'compatible' in what respect? |
| 18:06.24 | javispedro | Maemo 5 is as compatible with MeeGo as MeeGo 1.0 will be compatible with the real MeeGo ;) |
| 18:06.35 | GAN900 | mgedmin, and those two are the most likely groups to become confused. |
| 18:06.38 | Markus23 | mgedmin: of course, with the lsb-* packages it is lsb compatible, except of the package manager of course :-) |
| 18:07.09 | Markus23 | w00t_: I suppose it means that the apps will run without problems on the plattform? |
| 18:07.32 | w00t_ | Markus23: in which case, if they're qt, and don't rely on maemo5-specific bits, they'll work |

| 18:37.41 | midas | cehteh: nobody here has or a n900(you cant get them :P) or a xpress music |

| 18:38.06 | cehteh | you are in .nl ... hey i will be in utrecht on 1. may .. want to wait? :) |
| 18:38.10 | ShadowJK | DocScrutinizer, actually that sounds consistent with the description in the service manual, sort of |
| 18:38.15 | DocScrutinizer | midas: can you switch off the cycling system by long powerbutton press (while charger hooked up), maybe pressing button before it even starts to cycle? |
| 18:38.25 | midas | cehteh: nah :P |
| 18:38.39 | midas | DocScrutinizer: gonna try |
| 18:38.47 | cehteh | just keep the button pressed ... |
| 18:39.08 | ShadowJK | DocScrutinizer, iirc it says that the hw can charge a too low battery, and will automatically power on the N900 when sufficient charge is reached for booting... but of course, if the OS is hosed then it just cycles :D |
| 18:39.24 | DocScrutinizer | and *use wallcharger* NOT host PC for charging! |
| 18:39.27 | cehteh | yes something like that |
| 18:39.57 | cehteh | so wallcharger and as soon it cycles plug in usb cable with a armed flasher |
| 18:40.19 | midas | oh its armed |

| 21:00.59 | youam | okay, so the way to go would be to just never look at it again and push openstreetmap... |

| 21:03.45 | midas | i have a n71 and a n900, the n900 isnt charging because it f*cked. the n900 battery sortof fits the e71 |

| 21:04.09 | midas | the e71 batt is a li-polymer battery, the n900 a li-ion |
| 21:04.31 | midas | will it explode and burn my house down if i charge it with my e71? :P |
| 21:04.53 | youam | probably, yes |
| 21:05.04 | ShadowJK | midas, I would say it's safe if you don't make it a habbit |
| 21:05.14 | midas | wiki says they are the same |
| 21:05.31 | midas | ShadowJK: i only need it half full so i can flash the n900 |
| 21:05.39 | ShadowJK | Yeah that's fine |
| 21:05.40 | youam | li-ion batteries need a complex and intelligent controller which your li-polymer dev won't have |
| 21:05.45 | lcuk | midas, i'd be pretty concerned about explosions, but the bigger problem, how do you get hold of the battery without it turning to gold? |
| 21:05.53 | timeless_mbp | maher: yeah, don't expect 2tb to work either :) |
| 21:06.08 | midas | lcuk: i have special gloves for that |
| 21:06.18 | ShadowJK | youam, Li-Polymer is no safer than Li-Ion |
| 21:06.20 | lcuk | dont the gloves turn to gold? |
| 21:06.23 | ShadowJK | probably the opposite is true. |
| 21:06.32 | midas | they are golden on the inside already |
| 21:06.42 | lcuk | clever |

| 21:07.37 | lcuk | there are very sensible reasons not to |
| 21:07.59 | ali1234 | do it |
| 21:08.18 | ali1234 | they wouldn't make it the right size for E71 if it was going to explode |

| 21:09.30 | lcuk | yeah |
| 21:10.05 | ali1234 | btw, lithium batteries usually have the charging protection circuit inside the battery |
| 21:10.13 | tybollt | Because of the denser packaging without intercell spacing between cylindrical cells and the lack of metal casing, the energy density of Li-poly batteries is over 20% higher than that of a classic Li-ion battery. |

So on an _empty_ battery it's reaonably safe to use an old 3mm barreljack Nokia charger that says something like 600mA@4.8V and simply connect + to plus and - to minus on the battery |
| 23:19.21 | DocScrutinizer | **for max 15minutes, under close surveillance** |
| 23:19.28 | cehteh | .. just dont do that for 12 hours and leave the house |
| 23:19.31 | cehteh | :) |
| 23:19.38 | DocScrutinizer | yep, exactly |
| 23:19.56 | cehteh | thats exactly what i wanted to say with '2 wires' |
| 23:20.17 | cehteh | well i wonder what happens when you reverse polarity :P |
| 23:20.41 | satmd | then you short the line and your charger shortcuts |
| 23:20.44 | satmd | guesses |
| 23:21.08 | cehteh | maybe batteries have protection diodes |
| 23:21.18 | DocScrutinizer | muhaha |
| 23:21.18 | cehteh | really dont know |
| 23:21.31 | cehteh | well it would cost 3 cent ... forget it :) |
| 23:21.53 | DocScrutinizer | cehteh: it's impossible |
| 23:22.39 | DocScrutinizer | cehteh: protect the battery from discharging? o.O |
| 23:23.08 | DocScrutinizer | sure you *can* do this :-P |
| 23:23.12 | cehteh | uhm .. parallel to the battery in reverse direction, blowing the fuse .. but yes wont work either |
| 23:23.30 | ShadowJK | There are protection circuits that go on the top of 18500 cells that protect against overdischarge too :) |
| 23:24.04 | cehteh | or .. might work *thinking* |
| 23:24.07 | DocScrutinizer | smart bats always have such protective circuit |
| 23:24.41 | cehteh | smart batts have a triac or mosfet and only turn power on when properly handshaked |
| 23:24.53 | ShadowJK | Yeah but the guy who came up with the idea of taking a 18500 cell and putting that circuit on top and shrinkwrapping it was a genius :D |
| 23:24.54 | DocScrutinizer | nah |
| 23:25.47 | DocScrutinizer | they have mosfet, but it's not enebled by handshake usually |
| 23:27.10 | DocScrutinizer | bbl |

| 23:31.19 | autoguy | Justus: Any progress on the video streaming? |
| 23:34.04 | lcuk | ponders peeling back the layers of gtk just for the hell of it |
| 23:34.57 | Arif_ | wants an update to worldtv99 |
| 23:35.51 | Justus | besides that I'm so royally pi**ed off right now I'm seriously considering eating my own keyboard, no |
| 23:36.12 | Arif_ | doesn't sound very tasteful |
| 23:37.11 | autoguy | Definately distasteful to eat your keyboard |
| 23:37.27 | Arif_ | you wouldn't be able to type anymore either! |
| 23:37.53 | Justus | there is so much crap lying around it's hard to distinguish the useful page hits from the total crap |
| 23:37.56 | lcuk | his mummy told him to eat all his p's |
| 23:38.30 | lcuk | Justus, whats up |
| 23:38.39 | Justus | there are about 50k results for broadcasting to N900, and not one of them seems to actually be about broadcasting TO the N900 |
| 23:38.50 | Justus | all are about broadcasting FROM to N900 to QiK |
| 23:38.54 | Arif_ | have you tried installing Orb :p |
| 23:39.12 | Arif_ | or any UPnP server for that matter |
| 23:39.20 | Justus | if you heard the noise |
| 23:39.23 | Justus | that was my head |
| 23:39.27 | Justus | banging against the table |
| 23:39.29 | Justus | repeatedly |
| 23:39.35 | Arif_ | lol |
| 23:39.45 | lcuk | just do it again, i had my music on |
| 23:39.50 | Arif_ | hell even Windows Craptastic Player does it |
| 23:39.55 | lcuk | ill tell you if i can hear it |
| 23:40.10 | Arif_ | oh DVBViewer does it too if you bought that....:P |
| 23:40.36 | Arif_ | mobile TV wherever you are \o/ |
| 23:42.36 | Justus | you know, the really bad thing about this is, that I actually had this all preplanned |

| 23:43.41 | Arif_ | so...you're installing orb? |
| 23:43.53 | Justus | right now |
| 23:44.13 | Justus | iirc the n900 media player should work with it, right? |
| 23:44.32 | Arif_ | yes |

| 23:44.44 | Arif_ | when connected to WLAN |
| 23:44.54 | Justus | does it work with adhoc wlan connections? |

| 23:48.07 | Arif_ | z0mg |
| 23:48.08 | Arif_ | RLY? |
| 23:48.11 | Justus | no really? I thought a netbook could decode 1080p videos on the fly ^^ |
| 23:48.21 | Arif_ | meh |
| 23:48.28 | Arif_ | my PC uses %50 CPU when streaming my tv card |
| 23:48.30 | Arif_ | :p |
| 23:48.47 | LuciusMare_n900 | adds his to the local "Did yaa know dat?" |
| 23:48.59 | Arif_ | x) |
| 23:49.32 | Arif_ | I'm really loving this mini playlist when tapping the album art :P |
| 23:49.35 | Justus | I found the idea of streaming via VLC/rtsp to the N900 slightly more appealing, but after all upnp is designed for exactly this |
| 23:49.57 | shamus | has not tuched upnp |
| 23:50.14 | Arif_ | I use VLC for live TV streaming ... |
| 23:50.23 | Arif_ | because I have no choice :P |
| 23:50.32 | tybollt | me? I use pr0n for live streaming |
| 23:50.33 | Justus | hm |
| 23:50.35 | LuciusMare | And, i forgot my n900 to component cable at home - is there a chance that i can make one with common household objects? |
| 23:50.37 | tybollt | oh wait |
| 23:50.38 | Justus | I couldn't get a vlc stream up |
| 23:50.52 | Justus | that actually made up for 75% of my annoyance |
| 23:51.00 | Arif_ | apart from the VERY long buffer time in KMPlayer it plays fine |
| 23:51.02 | tybollt | Justus: how could you not? Hell it's as easy as it gets |
| 23:51.15 | tybollt | setting up vlc streams is a matter of GUI + click click click |
| 23:51.16 | Arif_ | and the speakers being craptastic |
| 23:51.18 | Justus | I find ways to complicate everything ;) |
| 23:51.41 | Arif_ | gives Justus the task of porting Meego to the N900 :P |
| 23:51.46 | shamus | what gets complicated is networking |
| 23:52.09 | midas | oh i really missed my n900 |
| 23:52.34 | Arif_ | you did? |
| 23:52.50 | midas | yes |
| 23:53.01 | midas | i fixed her :p |
| 23:53.19 | LinuxCode | her ? |
| 23:53.22 | Arif_ | that sounds more interesting than the N900... |
| 23:53.23 | LinuxCode | ...it! |
| 23:53.34 | Arif_ | or midas has weird fantasies o.O |
| 23:53.37 | Justus | tybollt: well I want a on demand stream, and couldn't get it running, after that I'd have settled for ANY stream, but I honestly don't know what to put into the adress field ;) |
| 23:53.41 | midas | hahha :P |
| 23:53.48 | autoguy | my precious... |
| 23:54.32 | autoguy | Justus: so no luck so far? |
| 23:54.40 | Arif_ | demands the next Nxxx phone has usable speakers... |
| 23:54.54 | autoguy | To be honest I've tried it between *computers* and given up in frustration |
| 23:55.04 | autoguy | VLC is advanced but hard |
| 23:55.16 | Justus | atm I'm setting up ORB |
| 23:55.23 | Arif_ | I have a frontend for VLC that does everything :D |
| 23:55.58 | autoguy | Arif_: frontend running on a pc? |
| 23:56.02 | Arif_ | yes |
| 23:56.07 | autoguy | linux? |
| 23:56.08 | Arif_ | web ui for DVBViewer :P |
| 23:56.33 | Arif_ | hmm |
| 23:56.35 | Arif_ | I remembered |
| 23:56.40 | Arif_ | you can also use Winamp Remote :O |
| 23:56.47 | autoguy | And that's the encoding/sending side, not the receiving? Just trying to understand your setup |
| 23:56.52 | Justus | YAY |
| 23:56.55 | Justus | it works |
| 23:56.59 | Arif_ | Yes |
| 23:57.04 | Justus | Arif_: you're my savior |
| 23:57.12 | Arif_ | you select a channel+codec+stream method |
| 23:57.23 | Arif_ | and then start it in KMPlayer :P |
| 23:57.28 | Arif_ | Justus, yay :P |
| 23:57.37 | Arif_ | now you can watch pr0n in the whole house! |
| 23:58.53 | cehteh | Arif_: a subwoover pluginable into the headphone jack would already suffice |
| 23:59.00 | Justus | well SG:A in the whole house |
| 23:59.07 | Justus | but the general direction was right ;) |
| 23:59.26 | Arif_ | ew |
| 23:59.28 | Arif_ | stargate |
| 23:59.29 | Justus | for some folks out there SG:A and pr0n don't have that much of a difference ^^ |
| 23:59.31 | autoguy | Hold on I'm not following. (maybe cause I'm trying to follow #meego too). What's the setup now Justus? Orb on a PC, then what player in the N900? |
| 23:59.39 | Justus | standard player |
