user contributed movie scene selection, or, past clearplay

I envision having a system where users can contribute their own EDL’s, or filters, for DVD’s.  These filters tell you when to stop, when to start, when to continue but muted. 

Then to use them you right click a menu associated with the DVD in the drive, and select from the available filters for that DVD.

There is a central repository for it that provides for auto downloading of all filters, and auto downloading of filters related to a DVD when it is first inserted.

The filters can also do more than just mute or skip–they can jump from one spot to another [ex: inserting outtakes, with and without choosing sections of the screen of said outtakes to insert], insert outside media into the middle of playing it [ex: sounds to play over profanity, user contributed soundtracks/voice overs, etc.]

ssh port forwarding for git

Here’s how I did it

ssh name@host -L9418:github.com:9418

then
git clone git://github.com/oneclick/rubyinstaller.git

becomes

git clone git://localhost/oneclick/rubyinstaller.git

This way overcomes those nasty 9418 blocking firewalls, and allows you to download it using straight git protocol, not git over http http://betterlogic.com/roger/?p=825 which doesn’t currently work with github http://support.github.com/discussions/repos/25-using-http-to-access-github-repos

I think meant “turn off your virus scanners and firewalls they are interfering somehow” — seems more like a bug to me, though…not sure.

“you need an updated version of MSYS” — follow this trail:

odyssey weirdness

if odyssey refuses to restart wireless after once having it “plugged in” to wired, this for me said “using wired connection” and meant “disable all the adapters except wireless in your network connections.” [in reality the adapters for virtualbox or andlinux were "acting" as well connected wired connections, confusing odyssey--but the fact that there is no override is...disconcerting.]
