Saw a cool use of the copious number of CCTV cameras being pointed at UK citizens and felt I had to share.
Unable to afford a proper camera crew and equipment, The Get Out Clause, an unsigned band from the city, decided to make use of the cameras seen all over British streets. With an estimated 13 million CCTV cameras in Britain, suitable locations were not hard to come by. They set up their equipment, drum kit and all, in eighty locations around Manchester \u2013 including on a bus \u2013 and proceeded to play to the cameras.
My boy Liam has been working real hard getting his music career off the ground and I am very happy to post a link to his first video clip “Until You Fall” which is fresh off the press and now up on youtube.
MythTV uses xine to play media files it has no clue about, generally this is xine (although I think I’ve seen it use mplayer occasionally). Out of the box xine doesn’t play real media files so some fiddling was in order to get that working.
First I downloaded the mplayer codecs from mplayerHQ. I grabbed the linux x86 binaries and unzipped them to /usr/lib/win32
I then went into my xine config file for the mythtv user (/home/mythtv/.xine/config) and uncommented the following line, making sure that it pointed to the same directory that I created in the previous step.
