Okay, now I've done the sensible thing and put Rails into the vendor folder - after a couple of weeks of no site.
That should stop any further problems occuring thanks to my hosting company upgrading (as they should) to the latest version.
Mind you, the latest version includes the capacity to Freeze to a specific version, which should stop this sort of thing happening again.

Found a nice little project that transcodes MythTV .nuv files to iPod video and provides them as a subscribable podcast feed.
Unfortunately it relies on the xvid support in the latest version of ffmpeg (only available through CVS), that doesn't want to compile on my FC3 machine. Will post if and when I get it working.

Right, the card is installed but not tuning yet. I think I might need an extra signal booster or perhaps a higher gain ariel.
The drivers took a bit of sorting out, as Fedora Core 3 doesn't automatically create the DVB devices.
The only problem so far was a conflict with the nVidia drivers which caused the display to hang. To solve this I swapped the card for an ATI Radeon 7000 from another box.

I've ordered a DVB card. It's the Hauppauge WinTV-Nova-t PCI. Hopefully I'll be able to set it up on Linux and integrate it with the MythTV setup.
It'll hopefully allow me to record MPEG2 streams without recompressing, as well as allow me to record two things at once in MythTV.
I'll post my progress with this card as I try to get it to work.

Much as I love MythTV, it's web interface for anything other than TV recordings leaves a little to be desired.
So, I'm considering writing an interface to MythMusic in Ruby-on-Rails.
It should be ajax enabled so that you can do iTunes style search constraining and it should have a decent artist/album/song type browser.
I think I'll add this to the end of the project list after Mad Margaret's e-commerce.
If anyone else thinks this is a good idea, reply to this post.

Well, the start of October seems like the right time to start a proper blog. A bit late for the term-start, but it's been a fair few years since I had a decent length summer holiday anyway.
I've had a news/diary section on klaws.org for a while, but I just never quite got around to updating it. Hopefully being able to edit on line will help.
What's this all going to be about then? Current projects include...
So, glad you could make the grand opening. Hang around for a while, and help yourself to a cocktail and some canapés.
God bless this blog and all who sail in her!
