| + | =====Attributes===== | ||
| + | The pursuit of this goal will allow me to achieve an awesome tv media thing that is super cool and lets me watch what i want yo. | ||
| + | |||
| + | =====Procedure===== | ||
| + | I begin with a fresh install of xubuntu. Unfortunately it is a dated version, so i must step my game up with a simple update | ||
| + | |||
| + | <cli> | ||
| + | swag~$ sudo apt-get update ; sudo apt-get upgrade | ||
| + | </ | ||
| + | |||
| + | from there, I have all the updated packages and repo' | ||
| + | |||
| + | I want to watch Trailer Park Boys. So first things first, lets grab them from my samba server. I don't have samba installed so i use a quick little program from the suite openssh. | ||
| + | |||
| + | <cli> | ||
| + | swag~# scp satan@homeserver: | ||
| + | </ | ||
| + | |||
| + | now with the little apendage to mplayer, I can watch my sode in full screen | ||
| + | |||
| + | <cli> | ||
| + | swag~# mplayer Trailerparkboyssode.avi -fs | ||
| + | </ | ||
| + | |||
| + | Now, I am currently watching the mentalist. My mother bought me these DVD's, but there was a problem: DVD right projection jargen. I don't haz time for this so I must act fast! mplayer has almost no support for copyright projection files, so for this i will use vlc instead. It has a vast library system (arg matie) with the capabilities to allow me to haz tv noaw. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Unfortunately after researching a lil, I realized that the library i needed (libdvdcss) does not come installed with vlc. I tried the source but I cannot make heads or tails of this. So I must find another way. AAAaaaaand I found it. | ||
| + | <cli> | ||
| + | swag~# sudo / | ||
| + | </ | ||
| + | |||
| + | This installs all the prerequisite packages needed to haz tv noaw. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Viola, The Mentalist. | ||
| + | |||
| + | |||
| + | oh hey, something else to add: power-settings and changing them so the display doesn' | ||
| + | |||
| + | =====Reflection===== | ||
| + | This was great and I had a lot of fun doing it. I love watching TV. | ||
