PSAutolock 0.0.2 for N900

PSAutolock has been updated to 0.0.2 version: autostart at device startup is now implemented.

InternetRadioWidget 0.2.0 for N900

Widget to start a chosen streaming radio with a push.
 InternetRadioWidget can read from a list txt file located in /home/user/MyDocs/.documents to fast switch radio url. Multiple istances and settings are supported to have several stations available: you can even listen to more than one at once.
  Log of title metadata can be saved and is located in /home/user/MyDocs/.documents aswell. Also, widget can show hildon banners when title metadata changes.
  When the button is pressed and its state is put to active, maemo touchscreen sound is disabled till button is pressed again or widget removed (with the normal exit, if process is killed than touchscreen sound must be enabled manually from xterminal with the command "maemo-xinput-sounds").
  There is the option to use a custom image, check /opt/internetradiowidget/custom if interested. Widget opacity can be set and a custom label text can be shown if desidered.

TodoListWidget version 0.0.2

New version for TodoListWidget. It is a bit cooler from an aesthetic point of view.

TodoListWidget for N900 released

I have created an homescreen widget to manage todos. Usually I get a txt file since opening calendar app, than switching to todos, creating a new todo and so on it's a too long operation, so I tried QtMobility Organizer module and prepared a widget with which you can monitor todos, like setting a todo as done, deleting one or even creating a new one within few seconds.

It requires qt4-homescreen-loader and libqtm-11-organizer packages. If you need to use the context menu (long tap on todos) CSSU is needed to be able to disable homescreen editing.

PSAutolock 0.0.1 for N900 released.

From an idea of Davide Ferrari (Iscio), I have coded an app to auto lock touchscreen when proximity sensor is closed. A safetime can be set to avoid accidental locks and app can autounlock aswell if chosen.

Package is made of two binaries, the background one and the gui launcher: autostart at device startup is not done yet, that's why greyed.

Streaming DVB-T from VLC to N900

I will explain how to stream TV within a W-Lan to watch it on N900.

To do it a DVB-T dongle is a must and VideoLan is needed to stream over the network.
First of all, be sure the correct drivers are installed: if you have Windows Seven there may be some troubles getting the drivers accepted; if this doesn't happen, press F8 at OS start up and select the option to include unsigned drivers.

On my home network Laptop, which act as the server, has 192.168.1.16 as ip, while the N900 ip is 192.168.1.7.
On pc, open VideoLan (I'm using version 1.1.9) and click on media>transmission. Click on 4th tab (Acquisition device) and select "DVD DirectShow. Pick DBV-T as device, type the right frequence and pick the right bandwith gap.
Click on "stream", than on "next" and add a "MS-WMSP (MMSH)" destination. Leave the ip as it is (0.0.0.0) and change the port to 1234 (any free port is fine).
Pick "activate transcoding", and select "Video - H.264 + AAC (MP4) as profile. Click on the small icon to edit the profile. Choose MPEG-TS as Encapsulation, H-264 as video driver with 700kb/s bitrate, 20 fps and 0.25resize and 320as width. Pick MPEG 4 Audio as audio codec with a 64kb/s as bitrate, 2 channels and 44100 champ freq. Click on "save" and than "stream".

Streaming will start, click on "Playback" > "Program" and select the wanted channel.
On N900, open x-terminal and give the following command: "mplayer mms://192.168.1.16:1234" and happy watching!
