Here is a multi-directory random picture viewer script that I stole from some other poster a long time ago and modified a bit. Negatives are no rotation or zoom control. #!/bin/sh #random jpeg slideshow PATH=$PATH:"/usr/local/bin" #define the root dir you want, all subdirs will be include...

1.5b2 is looking great Endless!

I don't know if it was you or my upgrade of slimserver that made gapless flac playback work!

Yay!!

I was kind of hoping that I could at least use MythRoku to view some of the other info that's exposed by Mtyh, like weather and news stories.

MythRoku doesn't implement anything but view recordings.

I think mythroku freaks out if there isn't at least one recording on the backend..

I doubt it will make any difference but if you're still interested you will need to either buy or make a cross over cable to connect the roku directly to your pc. Then you will need to run a dhcp server on your pc or set the roku to a static ip on the same subnet as the interface you plugged it into...

April Fools!!!!!


Sorry.. couldn't resist...

You must be doing something wrong, HD playback has been flawless for me.

Sounds interesting! I'd try it out.

The Roku store now says that the PhotoBridge is out of stock until "summer, 2006"!

I like how they are getting more specific. Soon it will say available sometime in the 21'st century.

I use streamdvd on my linux box.

You can also tell it to only extract certain video an...

The kuro HG is available for $179 at least until tomorrow. The standard Kuro is $109.

The internal linkstation HG from Buffalo showed promise with the gigabit ethernet and the beefier memory, but nfs-kernel doesn't work, and the user space nfs has terrible performance, much worse than even samba. I'm running the Kuro HG box with Fedora Core 4 on it! Works great. I can run some bench...

I wrote that script originally. The important parts of the script are these lines: JPEGPATH=/mnt/smb/nfs/nas1/Photoshow #after these files are created, you can edit them to remove dirs JPEGDIRS=/mnt/smb/nfs/nas1/Photoshow/jpegdirs.txt JPEGLIST=/mnt/smb/nfs/nas1/Photoshow/jpeglist.txt You will need t...

the patch is if your interested n hacking/compiling mythroku yourself. The mythroku.app file is what you probably want.

I did try it this morning.. I got static. But I'm not sure if I'm encoding my flac correctly. (maybe I should try the new wav codec) Flac asks me for all kinds of params since its a "raw" file I'm encoding and not a wav. I tried these params: --sign=signed --channels=2 --endian=big --bps=16 --sample...
