Hi Tom, Thanks for the tip, I just added it to my setup. :)
I can't think of anything great right off the top of my head, but I really like the idea of a tip exchange. Anybody else think "Tips and Tricks" would be a good category for the wiki? -Seth .------[ Tom Van den Bon wrote (Mon, Dec 01, 2003 at 12:20:29AM +0200) ]------ | | Hi Guys, | | I very much like my cartoons everyday and I thought it would be a | perfect thing to have my cartoons brought to my tv everyday without any | hassles. Seeing as I have a working freevo system up and running on my | tv I decided that this would be the perfect view method. I used the | program dailystrips (http://dailystrips.sourceforge.net/) to get my | favourite cartoons eveyday and put it in a folder which I setup as a | picture folder on my freevo. | | Here is how you do it : | | 1. Create your own cartoons folder : mkdir /pictures/cartoons | 2. Edit your local_conf.py to point to your picture folder : | | DIR_IMAGES = [ ('Cartoons', '/pictures/cartoons'), ... ] | | 3. After you have installed dailycartoons use dailycartoons -list to get | a list of all available cartoons. | | 4. Create a script called getcartoons containing the following : | | # -- start of script | #!/bin/sh | # get my fav cartoons | dailystrips --local -stripdir -save -basedir /pictures/cartoons \ | dilbert garfield thefifthwave | # -- end of script | | and put a link to it in your cron.daily | | Works like a charm for me. Dailystrips will put all the cartoons in | their own respective directory and you can navigate it via the freevo | interface. Keep in mind that if you are using your freevo system with a | tv then it does make reading some of the cartoons (if the text is small) | to read, but I think there is a zooming capability for your pics in | freevo ? | | Anybody else have some cool freevo tips they would like to share ? | | Tom | | | | ------------------------------------------------------- | This SF.net email is sponsored by: SF.net Giveback Program. | Does SourceForge.net help you be more productive?
