Linux and Hauppauge Radio Tuner for Radio VCR?
by Leo Mauler 27 Mar '08

27 Mar '08

A friend of mine recently upgraded her TV tuner, and gave me her two older TV Tuners. Her oldest TV Tuner was one of the Hauppauge WinTV models which came with an FM Tuner. I was wondering if anyone has seen a "Radio VCR" project for Linux using an internal FM Tuner card. I am excited about the prospect of being able to schedule radio recordings, especially as an FM Tuner should surely be able to be changed internally to record from different stations automatically. I've done some scheduled recordings before but it was always through Line-In and an external radio set to one station only. I'd like to be able to set up a system to record different radio shows off different radio stations, much like a VCR can record off several different TV stations. I was especially interested in the use of the "btaudio" driver to permit sound coming into the TV/FM Tuner Card to be transmitted directly over the PCI bus, instead of having to run it through the Line-In on the sound card. The card is fully supported under Linux, FM Tuner included, but all the Linux radio projects I've found through LinuxTV.org seem to be "listening-only", as opposed to a "Radio VCR". http://linuxtv.org/v4lwiki/index.php/Radio_Listening_Applications (TinyURL: http://tinyurl.com/yp5dwj) Gnomeradio has the option of recording, but you have to be there to push the "Record" button, and still there to shut off the recording, making it rather useless. http://www.wh-hms.uni-ulm.de/~mfcn/gnomeradio/ I've found an old "Linux Gazette" article from 2003, which used ecasound, lame, and cron to schedule radio programming, but his equipment choice was an external programmable USB radio, as opposed to an internal FM Tuner. http://linuxgazette.net/issue94/yan-fa.html ____________________________________________________________________________________ Never miss a thing.

MS Developer Event

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Perhaps a bit OT, but is anyone else going to the developer track of the MS event tomorrow? I'll be making one of my now in-frequent (it's amazing what twins will do to your free time!) trips to KC to exchange an afternoon of boredom for Microsoft 'freebies' (primarily a license for the latest Visual Studio), and would appreciate anyone of similar bent (ie: mostly non-microsoft, but forced to work with them occasionally) to pass the time with. Maybe we can even coordinate on heckling the speakers! :) - -- Charles Steinkuehler charles(a)steinkuehler.net -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.7 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFH6ElhLywbqEHdNFwRAjnzAKCtK2rbAo58JcbVXnLfAPo//ejhPACfQExN 0a/MUjSoLjvUS0y6f8Rd7Ck= =yWgw -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

Please pardon me for a statement of the obvious... where do the almighty and linux get into the same forum? If I wanted to get into some kind of theological/spiritual debate it certainly would not be here! Linux, please, and save the rants on religion for some other web forum.

Moratorium on moderation/censorship/general whines.-give it up for lent eh?
by Oren Beck 23 Mar '08

23 Mar '08

At the risk of Unleashing more Dogma by a careless religious reference. ALL the Whines about altering the ways we post to the existing list. ALL the attempts at thinly disguised power grabbing. ALL the insincere clamor to Just Change Things to Some Other Way. Let's give it up for lent eh? After all- one IS to my understanding to sacrifice their deepest joy for lent. And it frankly seems as if trolling,flaming and general moaning has become some folk's all consuming joyous passion! My appearing Snarky is actually a bit more to prove a point. If you feel *MY* little screed to be not proper conduct here? Then we have established the concept of f improper conduct. . Which should be then held as such by ALL. Or do we now consider any conduct at all desirable with no regard to it's impact? I'd hoped to NOT have to say this- but kiddies- either we learn from the admittedly bad examples shown here by others before me- and choose constrictive content -as in? Posting content from now on of rational constructive value.to set a new higher standard. . Failing that you can just quit this Linux stuff and play Grand Theft Auto's "Maximum Splatter" skinned version -- Oren Beck 816.729.3645

That's pretty straight forward. If your wife goes out to buy a car, asks your opinion which you do not give to her and she buys something you hate, you really can't say anything because she asked your opinion, your ignored her request and bought the car. She made the decision that it was something she wanted because you didn't provide any input. If she had asked your input and you said you hated it and she bought the car anyway, then you can say something about it. Same with voting on an issue. If you choose not to vote and a decision is made based on voting that you decided not to participate in then you can not complain about the outcome of the decision that was voted on which you decided to be ignorant (the act or process of ignoring.) > > -- > Joe Brouhard > jbrouhard(a)gmail.com >

<rare rant> Luke, Leo, etc. Ya'll have each other's e-mail addresses. Why don't you use your _"OWN"_ bandwith to continue the (off)topic of your choice??? Oren set a "trick-bag for trolls" and you two are the worst offenders who've fallen not only _into_ that bag, but _through_ its _BOTTOM!!!!!_ You proved the person who stated that there are always some who will NOT moderate themselves and need it done for them!!! SAD in DEED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yes, I believe that there is such a thing as abusive moderation. I've been a victim of it in other forums/chat areas. However, in the case of this particular place where an off-topic discussion has already caused all kinds of trouble one would rationally think that ya'll would get the POINT. <> Take it elsewhere, eh??? Other than this __religious zealotry__ that's been perpetuated here, you (Luke, Leo, etc.) have ON topic knowlege that is of *great* importance and of use by others. I would really hate to see the type of "moderation" that was suggested to be implimented simply because a MINORITY would NOT _*GET*_ the _*CLUE*_!!!!! Implementing such a policy would only serve as an obstacle of innovation almost to the point of snuffing it out! Are you so myopic that you can't see this????? Therefore, I suggest that after an off-topic discussion has gone on long or heated enough to make people weary of it to the point that they gently, or not so gently, try to persuade that topic to be changed back on-topic or dropped (out of here, at least) then _SIMPLY_ use your OWN e-mail addresses (since thar ARE clearly visible and even provide LINKS) to continue your off-topic discussion so that the rest of us can ENJOY and/or learn from the ON topic posts. Luke, Leo, etc. are you getting the _CLUE_ here????????? And Oren an/or whoever, no more __trolling__ on off-topic discussions, please? This thing had died until Oren relit the fuse with the comment about Lent. ;) Oren you knew what you were doing when you set that trap and you got the results you were after. Sad, sad, sad!!! </rare rant> Live life to have the _freedom_ to be *responsible*. --------------------------------- Never miss a thing. Make Yahoo your homepage.
