blue proximity is an application that is used to detect a Bluetooth device's distance and according to it, it can lock your computer or unlock it.

Using the same technology one could incorporate it when they have large LCD/LED TV's (40"+), the closer you get to the TV, or the further you are away from it, it enlarges font size for ease of viewing.

Use a keybinding such as windows key+plus/minus or windows key+scroll to zoom fonts and other items(icons, etc).

In my home I use the TV Guardian to filter profanity from tv and movies. I plan to build a Mythbuntu box and I want to replace the TV Guardian. I would like to see a software implementation of the hardware in the TV Guardian. It would monitor the closed caption signal for a list of profanity. When it sees profanity coming it mutes the audio, deletes out the profanity from the caption, displays the closed caption for that moment. Then it turns off the caption and un-mutes the audio. Software may not be as fast as hardware so it may need to buffer the signal. I would like to see this work for tv and movies/DVDs. I would also like to be able to edit the list of profanity myself. Maybe even have multiple lists for different depths of filtering.

Create a folder with symlinks to the recordings like this:

Dirty Jobs - Discovery Channel Sun 28 feb 2010 07:00 ->1001_20100228065000.mpg

This way I can instantly see what shows have been recorded.


Best regards,
Cedric

Not everybody wants the same format for the filenames. Therefore it would be nice to have some kind for format string using variables.

There could be the following variables:
SHOWNAME
CHANNEL
DATE
TIME

Then this could be the formatstring:
$SHOWNAME - $CHANNEL $DATE $TIME

And this the resulting symlink:
Dirty Jobs - Discovery Channel Sun 28 feb 2010 07:00

Investigate the Netflix APIs and the possibility of integration with MythTV.
Netflix offers the API's to developers for the purpose of expanding the functionality of their system.

This can easily be accomplished by changing the program that is started from mythfrontend to mythwelcome in the default settings. I have already done this on my system. I figure everyone should get this benefit.

Mythwelcome could probably also stand some improvements as well.

Add an option to the recording rules menu, giving the ability to set a rule to sleep for a given period of time..

If possible maybe add a function that will allow one to set sleep to shutdown pc or exit frontend to mythwelcome where it can be configured to shutdown.

It would be nice to control the skype functions within Mythbuntu.

Its annoying that linux skype doesn't have shortcut keys. Makes it hard to get working with a remote.

I've written a little script using the skype api that supports answer and hang up of calls if you are interested. I don't use skype a whole lot so its not tested that well but should do the trick.

http://core-inertia.com/skype_pickup.py

To use run skype and go to options / notifications / advanced then set incomming call ringing to run this script eg. python skype_pickup.py

Then when you get a call the script suspends mythtv and you get a nice standard ok/cancel box. If you have enter and escape keys bound on your remote you can use these to accept or reject the call.

Probably best to run it from the command line first to make sure its working ok. You also need to install these additional ubuntu packages:
python-wxgtk
python-skype
skype
wmctrl

This could be implemented a number of ways, however I think the simplest would be creating a commandline method for starting a mythgallery slideshow, and then using the existing screensaver subsystems to initialize it.

I wouldn't be surprised if this could be implemented in a indirect way without modifying anything upstream, and could be added as part of the mythbuntu control center.
