Comment on MythTweet – Twitter MythTV recordings by Ed

Hi,

Wow, I had no idea that they will be deprecating basic authentication! I will get some kind of solution to this when I have time – and I have several other things that tweet that I’ll need to change. So answer to 1 is no!

2) Not sure to be honest – I’ve never looked at getting events out of MythTV. However, it would be trivial to knock up a script that is called when you press a button on your remote (via irexec), which queries the currently watched program (same way as this script works) and tweets it.

3) Dale Lane has done this – can’t say I’ve tried it, but worth looking at – http://dalelane.co.uk/blog/?p=1284

Thanks,
Ed

So i just came across this and had a few questions

1) Will this stop working when twitter switches over to OAuth?

2) Is there a way to only send tweets when I select an OSD option?
ie. I am watching a show and press some on screen or menu option that says “tweet this show”

3) Have you found (or made) a plugin to go the other way, and have a twitter ticker on the bottom of the screen?

Comment on Wild Camping and Night Photography by Torchlight by Ed

Thank you very much! The framing could have been better, but given I was resting the camera above a stream without a tripod, it would have been too hard to fix!

Wild camping was very satisfying – was my first proper trip, and in some ways, I’m glad I did it alone – more satisfying, and easier to find out what you’re capable of doing!

Good luck!

Great photos .. I love the waterfall one, I’ve seen a lot of long exposure photos of rivers but can’t recall a night shot like yours.

I’m also interested in wild camping and hope to do some this summer, not sure I’m ready for solo trips of that size just yet But well done on ya.

@Manu91
Ah, sorry – more escaping needed. Fixed now.

I’m also relatively new to C – it’s horrible – oh for Java

hello,
thanks for that, you have corrected 1 line, but the other two are same :
the lines with “for” instruction on “void itob” and “void setHEDevice”
thanks from a newbee in “C” !

@Manu91
Sorry about that – HTML escaping went wrong. Code is corrected. FYI, it mostly came from http://www.arduino.cc/playground/Code/HomeEasy

Good luck getting your code to work!

Hello,
I Have a problem when I was trying your code, In fact your 3 last for are not complet… :
“for (int i=0; i ”
I have completed it with a code found on the arduino site but, I don’t know if my add is good, cause when I used a HE307 interrupt, the code received and put in the good line don’t work… after upload, the light don’t do anythink…
Can You update your code please ?

Oh, very nice stuff Ed – hopefully this will help me avoid/be aware of the jams on the few occasions that I do venture out in meatspace
