| [00:01:31] | knightr: | stuartm, good night and thank you! (and BTW thank you for reminding me that because a word is already used in MythTV it's not necessarily a word earlier today... :) ) |
| [00:04:45] | jpabq: | Gawd! Theming (or testing a theme against) mytharchive sucks. |
| [00:07:37] | stuartm: | jpabq: heh, everyone has said that |
| [00:07:59] | knightr: | jpabq, my fellow French language translation team member got back to me, he prefers to avoid the word I suggested since it's a neologism but he suggested other words we could use to shorten the sentence instead (I wondered if he noticed we already used the word he prefers not to use though... :) ) |
| [00:08:16] | stuartm: | I just ignore it when I create a theme, helps that I don't use it so I've no real incentive to work on it |
| [00:08:42] | knightr: | Is MythArchive that bad (I've never used it)? |
| [00:08:55] | jpabq: | stuartm, I have not used it since it was first added. I was trying to make my theme as complete as possible, though. |
| [00:09:46] | jpabq: | knightr, from a theme point of view it is the worst. How many different subtle ways can you define what is essentially the same window — and make the themer theme each and every one of those variations. |
| [00:09:48] | stuartm: | knightr: lots of screens, complicated and crowded UI |
| [00:10:10] | stuartm: | it could be so much simpler than it is |
| [00:11:52] | knightr: | LOL... Does it work OK though? |
| [00:12:11] | knightr: | jpabq, does that mean you will theme MythZoneminder as well? :) |
| [00:12:30] | knightr: | (does anybody actually theme MythZoneminder?) |
| [00:12:32] | jpabq: | knightr, Not as far as I can tell. In trying to test my theme, I have repeated tried to test creation of an archive, and not been successful. |
| [00:12:55] | jpabq: | knightr, I would, if I knew how. I have not clue how to make MythZoneminder work. |
| [00:13:10] | jpabq: | s/not/no/ |
| [00:13:20] | jpabq: | Same with mythgame |
| [00:13:26] | knightr: | jpabq, I think you need an install of ZoneMinder to make it work... |
| [00:14:24] | stuartm: | jpabq: mythgame is lousy but very simple, it's not much different to mythnews |
| [00:14:35] | knightr: | MythGame I have used in the past and it's not that bad to make it work, Zoneminder I tried to play a little with it but had problems... |
| [00:15:01] | stuartm: | lousy because it's unmaintained and lacks any sort of polish |
| [00:16:34] | jpabq: | Doesn't mythgame require "roms". Where do you get those? |
| [00:17:20] | knightr: | jpabq, you don't need roms, you can make it run emulators like scummvm without too much work.. |
| [00:17:34] | stuartm: | jpabq: you don't actually need them, you can create a few empty files with the right extension – touch Pacman.rom (or whatever extensions it looks for) |
| [00:17:43] | knightr: | (though IIRC you have to trick it into thinking there's are ROM files...) |
| [00:18:41] | knightr: | s/'s// |
| [00:18:45] | jpabq: | Okay. I may give theming mythgame a go, just to be more complete. I don't think I will bother with zoneminder. |
| [00:31:29] | knightr: | jpabq, you appear to have modify quite a few things in that area, is the issue reported in this ticket still present: http://code.mythtv.org/trac/ticket/9295 ? |
| [00:34:40] | jpabq: | knightr, I completely re-wrote that part of the code a few months ago (to enable multi-line text edits). Cutdown is done with a completely different algorithm now. As fare as the stretch/shrink part of that ticket goes, I can look at it, but not going to happen for 0.25 |
| [00:43:21] | knightr: | jpabq, ah, though so (that it was at least partially adressed), that was the ticket I was referring to earlier by the way... The code there surely no longer applies but the stretch/shrink idea, if it looks OK, could help both themers and translators alike (but yes, you're rigjht now is not the time to address this...) |
| [00:44:22] | knightr: | s/modify/modified (I'm not doing translatiion work tonight that's for sure, the thing would be full of typos.. :) ) |
| [00:45:47] | jpabq: | knightr, :-) Yeah, I am about to call it a night myself. I think I will go read a book. |
| [00:47:21] | jpabq: | knightr, do you want me to email you an updated Steppes? I am still finding places that need tweaked, but it is getting pretty good. |
| [00:47:57] | knightr: | jpabq, Good night and thank you! If you have modifications to your theme you want me to test let me know... I could probably test MythGame as well if you theme it as my MythGame install is probably still working (or it wouldn't need much work to make it work..) |
| [00:49:09] | knightr: | jpabq, LOL... We had the same idea... :-) |

| [00:50:58] | jpabq: | knightr, I will send out a new tar here pretty soon. Thanks for helping me perfect it! Good night. |
| [00:51:49] | knightr: | jpabq, No problem and thank you! Good night! |
