+======Project: Television4me======
+I needed a media player for my television, so that I may DVDS, movies downloaded, or other various forms of media on the go.
+=====Objectives=====
+I am going to plug in riften( upstairs desktop PC ) directly into my television ( DVI to HDMI ) and then use command line arguments to allow myself to direct flow of my television.

+=====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
+</cli>
+from there, I have all the updated packages and repo's. Now I can begin my special TV time.
+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:Trailerparkboyssode.avi .
+</cli>
+now with the little apendage to mplayer, I can watch my sode in full screen
+<cli>
+swag~# mplayer Trailerparkboyssode.avi -fs
+</cli>
+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 /usr/share/doc/libdvdread4/install-css.sh
+</cli>
+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't dim 10 minutes into ma shows.
+=====Reflection=====
+This was great and I had a lot of fun doing it. I love watching TV.
