[edit] Stuff about the OSD
These are my old projects on the Neuros OSD. Contact me if you need clarifications/modifications about them
Future plans I had for the OSD, but no longer have time to implement them:
- Use google calendar as scheduling method.
- Do "instant recordings" by sending an email to the OSD.
So that was "the good old OSD days".
[edit] Experiments with the Link
I started to take a look at the Link, to see if I really need it (I already have 2 AppleTV...)
I've gone the VM way to test it:
- I downloaded the new 1.2 Link image, that I put on a usb stick
- In vmware, I created a new VM of 8 gigs
- I booted the vm with a linux cd (ubuntu)
- Once booted, I put the usb stick in my computer, and shared it to the VM
- I've done a dd if=/dev/sdb of=sda of the Link image
- Once finished, I rebooted the VM. Voila, Link OS in a vm.
- I installed vm tools.
- After that, I used the vmdk disk in virtualbox to make a virtualbox vm (I don't have vmware at home)
- I booted the virtualbox VM on my mac. Ready to test the link!
Next step, installing a vnc server to control it with my ipod touch
- Start up the vm. Hit alt-f9 to minimize firefox
- In applications, start Terminal
- sudo apt-get install x11vnc
- x11vnc -passwd blabla
- On my ipod touch, I bought the application Controlpad
- I configured my Link in control pad, connected, et voila!
