Re: [Sugar-devel] Community XO software builds

Hi Tony not sure if this is helpful, but the Python script youtube-dl ( http://rg3.github.io/youtube-dl/) is very useful for downloading vids from YouTube (curent/playlist/batch), and offers options such as --age-limit, --max-filesize, --rate-limit, --max-quality, and in particular --format worstv

Re: [Sugar-devel] Community XO software builds

It would be helpful to have more specifics. The problem with videos on the XO-1 is the speed of the processor and the bit-rate of the videos. As with all Linux distributions, the codecs are available for installation by the user. The process for doing this for the XO has been documented many t

Re: [Sugar-devel] Community XO software builds

The obvious counterargument would be that a deployment might want to deploy your XO-Next (whatever it is) alongside existing XO laptops, allowing all of them to have the same configuration. There's plenty of blame to go around in terms of re-inventing the wheel and lack of communication. There si

I will try to answer some questions. But my last two points will only raise new ones. 1. There are a few purposes for the community build. The first is that for a while, all the OLPC builds announced seemed to be private ones available upon request. It therefore was necessary to see i

Re: [Sugar-devel] More details on brightness control in Sugar

Hi Martin, Using the sugar-backlight-helper with a polkit file to change the brightness file sounds like a very good idea. That would significantly reduce the complexity of the change. Please feel free to make the changes and send through a patch. I will try and fix up the iconography issues.
