I'd have to install it to see if my TV would even pick it up. If I have time this weekend.
Oh, yeah, baby, it's snakalicious in here.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Hey. New board.
Maybe TVMobili? Not free, but looks flexible and may be worth it for you.

I'd be happy to answer questions. MacOS and iOS development is a lot of fun.

I'll give TVMobili a try this weekend, Gris, thanks.
I have a Lytro question.
Now, it's not just that you don't need to focus anymore, and it takes care of that for you after the fact. But what I'm not sure about is that I'm used to sometimes exercising precise control over the depth of field of my photographs. And I know (well, not with the DSLR's preview anymore, sadly), how much I'm gonna get, from where. How can I tell with the Lytro camera how deep I will be getting?

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Presumably, you can set that in post, too.

I haven't seen that in any of the articles or documentation yet, though. I was wondering if anyone had read anything I hadn't. It just says fixed aperture and bob's yer uncle. And the examples of the "live" pictures weren't much help. You click, and the ranges of depths of field across photos vary so much I can't tell how the photographer would be predicting them.

If everything is in focus and everything is out of focus, you can make the DOF as wide or narrow as you want, I'm guessing.

I guess the apps have more control than what I've seen so far. I mean, that I'm getting the somewhat parsed product.
TVMobili installed like a dream, but my TV can't see it as a DLNA server. I will look into this tomorrow and see if it does serve content to Samsung TVs. It doesn't seem to serve to the WebOS pad so far, but that's the only mobile device I've yet tried.

Okay, I fiddled with Windows Firewall, and TVMobili is now visible.
I really need to work out what makes files playable and what doesn't, so I can either address it on the ripping/download side (limited freedom there), or find a tool that allows me to plug in codecs for transcoding. So far, just playing with this product and my tablet, and things look good, better than the other Windows servers, but this is all so damned *random*.
I mean, when I look at battlestar_galactica.1x10.the_hand_of_god.ws_pdtv_xvid-fov.[BT].avi and battlestar_galactica.1x09.secrets_and_lies.ws_pdtv_xvid-fov.[BT].avi, the former streams just fine to my tablet, and the latter doesn't. When I open them in VLC, it says they both have the same MPEG-4 codec, the same 640x368 resolution, the same frame rate 0f 25fps. I can't work out what the other differences might be, and how to address them.
Does anyone know?

Huh. That's really baffling.
