TV-Out, KDE and Xine

Friday, February 24th, 2006

If, like me, you happen to be using an NVidia based graphics adapter with TV-Out, you might find useful the following instructions to configure it, adding a KDE service menu to watch your movies on the TV with a single click.

Three steps are necessary:

  1. Configure your X server, creating a TV dedicated layout. We’ll later start X using this setup.
  2. Create a script to start X, running xine with the file we want.
  3. Create a .desktop file which inokes this script for the MIME types video/*.

Amarok’s cover fetcher.

Saturday, February 5th, 2005

Doesn’t Amarok’s cover fetcher work on the latest SuSE’s 9.2 build? Here I’m talking about Amarok 1.2beta3, the audio player for KDE.

Having wondered for a while what was wrong, and just in case somebody happens to experience this very same problem, I’ll say here for the record that there is no bug (at least here).

Simply choose a locale setting inside Amarok’s Cover Manager (you’ll find a drop down list at the top of the window) and everything will work.

Anyone should work, but if you find that some of your covers were not fetched, you can try on a different locale (i.e. server). I got lots of covers from the german server which were not on the british one.

By the way, lots of covers are not well matched. And I mean lots. It’s funny (or rather disgusting) to see “Chill Out XXX” while listening to Brahms…
