Thanx for the torrent, and the howto's.....much apreciated.
and i have the same question as [Please register to see this link. ]. I also want to use it as a media center, and i wonder if it can cope with 720p and 1080i files.
How do you make the GUI look like this [Please register to see this link. ]=
That is KDE environment. I use it all the time. Alls you need to do is update your ydl with the right Repos and update the yum extender, it may take a while but after the update process... ur set, I cannot remember the exact update process... I might have just clicked on add/remove software in GNOME then installed KDE... anyone
WOOT!!! just installed ydl6.0 with no problems (thanx for the torrent link)....... and that for a total linux noob. I only had a slight problem with the resolution, but thanx to the terrasoft forum i got that sorted out. Today, my logitech mediaboard (wireless with build in touchpad) comes in, so that will make life a bit easier. I'm a bit dissapointed that Gnash doesnt do youtube, but i've heard some rumors that it will soon.
Now for the follow-up... installing the mediaplayers. 2 questions about those:
- can i watch 720p mkv movies with vlc or another mediaplayer?
- can i stream stage6 movies? (divx webplayer)
next thing i'll do is share the files on my mac. already found some info on that: [Please register to see this link. ]
So no significant cpu speedups over Fedora 7 except a faster startup? And still issues with the screen sizing? I suspected that. It sounds like only the linux newbs are impressed with this, newbs aren't very informative. Also the glib 2.5 reported for this is 1 or 2 versions below what's current, so I suspect there would still be software compatibility problems the ydl 5 is famous for. I'm using this mainly for game emulators including sdlmame which i'm hoping for better cpu support for, apparently this ydl offers no such improvement. I also put alot of time into upgrading fedora 7 and the theme is nicer while ydl took so long with this release. Not having wireless isn't an issue for me either because I use analog wired controllers. Thanks for the info, oobuk and ykpaiha, that will save me the trouble and I'm sticking to Fedora 7.
