A Personal Tale of Medical Ethics Etc
Indeed. In all honesty I think my mum is not far off the care home stage. I think that being able to make a cuppa seems quite a good gauge of ability, and thankfully she can still safely do that for herself. My sister used to work as a carer and so I'm willing to follow her advice about when the...- Oatcake

A Personal Tale of Medical Ethics Etc
So you'd rather that you never see your own friends again after going into a care home? Not for me. EDIT: ideally I'd rather see my old freinds, AND have new friends available- Oatcake

A Personal Tale of Medical Ethics Etc
I completely understand if you don't want to challenge this potential "fraud". But "J"'s money could be used to keep her in her own home, with some extra paid care provided by a care provider company (my mum is still in her own home with regular, paid, visits from a care agency). This seems like...- Oatcake

New feature request: bookmarks into the cut recording
OK - so in other words if the box crashes then a DLNA scan does not take place when the Humax is turned back on? I have not investigated this scenario. EDIT - but it does not affect the accuracy of my original statement. Turning the Humax off and on DOES produce a DLNA sweep at some point!- Oatcake

New feature request: bookmarks into the cut recording
One suggestion is to have a new log file "bookmarks_history.log" or similar. It could contain a single line for each recording that has been bookmarked by the WebIf/ ad detection etc. The format for the file could be single lines like this:- hmt +setbookmarks=XXX file.hmt ...then the user can...- Oatcake

New feature request: bookmarks into the cut recording
I timed the sweep by:- Create a recording that isn't indexed (one easy way to do this is by renaming a recording via the WebIf file browser) Trigger the sweep In the WebIf file browser repeatedly hit the "refresh" (browser button) while viewing the un-indexed file. The little green "indexed"...- Oatcake

A Personal Tale of Medical Ethics Etc
I can sympathise. My dad died from vascular dementia approx 5 years ago. And now my mum has dementia plus Alzheimer's. In the more advanced stages the person that you used to know is effectively "just gone" but the body remains. VERY sad indeed. I am a joint deputy (with my sister) via the OPG...- Oatcake

New feature request: bookmarks into the cut recording
I have an observation about disappearing bookmarks (ones that are set by the custom software). This particular issue isn't caused by file locking. Sorry if this is already known. If you are watching programme A, and then decide to change its bookmarks via the custom software, then pressing...- Oatcake

Changing a Recording's Date and Time settings
What an amazing insight! I for one would not respond to any change requests (to a non-essential utility) that are submitted with sarcasm. Please respect the people who contribute to this project for free.- Oatcake

Has development stopped? Is it possible to get hold of the source code and build instructions?
That's not strictly accurate, see this post. This experiment has not been "moulded" into a package yet. (There's a lot of work involved to make it flexible/ useful. So I don't know if it will ever reach release stage.)- Oatcake

Dedup series.info file from a Wikipedia episode list
The following perl script can be used to generate a series.info file from a Wikipedia style series list. This is the procedure I follow:- select and copy the section of text from the Wikipedia series list starting with the "Series <X>" title that is immediately before the episode list and down...- Oatcake

Humble feature request
A different approach to removing old Simpsons programmes might be to use the "dedup" package. With the following "series.info" it will rename your programmes to S01-01, S01-02 up to S31-22. Then you can just sort the programme list alphabetically and easily select all the "S01-" episodes and...- Oatcake

Amusing Items
Last night I was amused by a programme title that I came across while browsing the Humax guide (on the TV):- Killer women with pie Do these ruthless women lure their poor victims with the offer of a tasty pie?

Scraping TV text
Just a quick post to say that af123 and some other trusted developers have the "core code" now. I think it'll probably take a few days (at least) before they can plug it into their own framework, test, and then make generally available. At that point then the real work will begin - writing...- Oatcake

Scraping TV text
TBH I'm not comfortable about going that public with it, unless the other packages that use LD_PRELOAD to redirect "humaxtv" calls ( ir, redring, etc) are also open source. And if they are open source, then it would make sense to have this utility housed in the same place.- Oatcake
