|
|
The tool is called "FreetuxTV" channels player.
On an Ubuntu-box, the installation is as follows:
Open a terminal:
| Code: |
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:freetuxtv/freetuxtv
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install freetuxtv |
Lean back and wait for the tool to be installed.
When you start the tool for the first time, you are presented with a choice of channel-groups to add to your new "TV". Click on each group you want and then on the "add" button.
Watch/record away.
The choice of channels is still a bit limited but then the version number of the tool is at ~0.5 and hope dies last  _________________ ...focussing beyond infinity... |

Will it work up n vm ware? _________________ Most important to an understanding of Rule 34 is that it is NEVER breakable. Whatever it is, there will always be porn of it somewhere. This is underscored by Rule 35 stating that, if porn cannot be found of it, it must be created. |

I don't know. It uses the VLC routines, so the pathetic Flash-implementation for Linux is not the bottle neck. On my relatively ancient box, the tool uses below 5% CPU-load and not too much memory, so I don't see, why it shouldn't run on vmware or virtualbox or anything. OTOH if you run Windows as your main OS, there are surely comparable tools native to that. _________________ ...focussing beyond infinity... |

Nice.
I wonder if I could get it to compile on OS X...  _________________ For all your underwater gardening and advance sports results prediction needs. |
