@jrg - my guess is so it can look-up timezones on relatively limited ip address info, or set regulatory domains on wireless cards <-- in response to the geoip question
I wish to extend our family tree, but I don't know how many people will be accepting of it. If you're wondering why it is a family tree of all things - it's because I see Ask Ubuntu (and Ubuntu itself) as one, humongous family! :D
@iSeth o/ Sadly, I'm not on 13.04. I am back on 12.04. You didn't hear what happened to my happy computer, did you?
It had a harddrive failure. I have to ship it back to Dell and tell them to check the graphics card and CD/DVD drive also. Nice specs, poorly constructed.
@FEichinger I'm seriously considering it. If @AbrahamVanHelpsing wants to be a boy and if I have no requests from him - let's just say I'll do a little editing.
any vlc ninjas in the crowd? looking to use the telnet vlc vod interface. bind the rtsp server to 0.0.0.0, but only bind the telnet interface to 127.0.0.1. must use firewall or is there some command-line option i don't know about?
@iSeth to audio cd is a no-go. iirc they have minimum sample rates for cd-audio. if you want it as data, just remux the audio file to a better codec and/or lower sample rate
@iSeth on that one it's probably simple to just split it every 90 minutes or something. i don't think the people that are capable of making said modifications to the FOSS tools are either a) willing to dump the time for a minor feature, b) think it's really worth the effort for that particular feature, or c) both
how about a shell script that gets bitrate and splits based on that? but vbr would break it. probably why it's not implemented. constant recalculation or number fudging for all the good (vbr) codecs
