Absolutely, since (if this insanity really happens) it means that
projects like VDR are effectively dead in the water :(

I find it hard to believe that TV networks will be happy with
invalidating every piece of DVB hardware sold to date (and selling now),
but it will all come down to how much pressure MPAA and friends can
bring to bear on them.

Re: [vdr] VDR: Mantis bug tracking and a forum

Perhaps using Launchpad would be an idea then? It can be taught about
projects and products, so you could have a vdr project with various
products registered underneath it (ie vdr and all the components), then
bugs can all be tracked in one place and easily moved from the vdr
product to another component.

It's kinda a shame that so much work goes into the VDR community, but
it's spread around the place and hard to keep track of. Hosting code
branches on Launchpad (or at least mirroring them there), keeping bugs
there and so on, would be very useful, imho.

Are we saying that the Hauppauge USB dual tuner ones work? That would
seriously make my day!

Is the hard-wired USB device the same as they sell separately?
(WinTV-Nova-TD)

I'm prepared to suffer a bit of weirdness while the drivers improve if I
can free up a valuable PCI slot in my HTPC!

I've used a PC connected to a 40" Bravia via DVI and it was pretty damn
good. If you sat far enough away you could use it comfortably as a
monitor. Up close and the contrast on text would probably melt your
retinas ;)

Not sure how much they differ, but I'm rebuilding packages from
www.e-tobi.net and they seem to build ok.
I'd guess that something about edgy's toolchain has changed enough that
the packages won't build on dapper, or they're just broken atm ;)

[vdr] Recordings sorting

2006-09-20 Thread Chris Jones
Hi

Inspired by the channel sorting thread, I'm wondering if there's any way
to have vdr sort recordings by date rather than name? I would think that
would be a more obvious default, but even if not, I would like to use it
:)

Cheers,
