| - | During a social gathering at work, one of our HR people switched to Spanish and told us how it was that she spoke the language. Though I understood her well enough, I found myself sputtering when I wanted to reply. It was then that I remembered that the last time I even spoke Spanish was more than 30 years ago. So I decided I have to brush up a bit. When the internet went mainstream here, I used to listen to radio from other countries, but I suppose we have moved on from there too. I decided to give TV a go. Whilst most of my friends just get all the streams added via Android, I decided to use my laptop. I supposed there would be free streaming somewhere, but it would be nice to have it in one place. Enter FreeTuxTV. To be honest, I have not sat down and watched TV in years, maybe more than 10, so it felt like a completely new feeling. (I have a friend, bless his heart, who would give me all the highlights – what to watch, etc. - and fill my external hard drive with said chart toppers.) | + | **During a social gathering at work, one of our HR people switched to Spanish and told us how it was that she spoke the language.

| - | As you can see from this image (top), I have a floating VLC player over the application. I suppose you want to watch full-screen when you watch TV. On their Github page, the image looks a little different, with the viewport embedded in the program. The issue with that is, once maximised, you struggle to make it small again. Even the mighty esc-key is no match for the will of VLC to own your screen. | + | As you can see from this image (top), I have a floating VLC player over the application.

| + | Pour mon essai, je l’ai installé sur Ubuntu standard et je ne l’ai pas essayé sur Kubuntu, Xubuntu, etc., mais, dans la version principale, le bouton « play » lance VLC. Je suis réservé à ce propos, parce que je voulais un tout-en-un, comme QMPlay2. | ||
| + | |||

| - | The awesome part is that you can record live TV, or, in our case, streamed TV. You simply hit the record button and off you go. This is where the floating VLC window sort of gets in the way. I suppose there are keys to record, but a newbie to the program will try to record from the red record button. On the positive side, you can choose the time-frame you would like to record, should you be making supper when your favourite show is on. | + | Comme vous pouvez le voir, je pense, je lance le programme via la ligne de commande. Ce faisant, je n’essaie pas d’être un je-sais-tout, je veux voir tout simplement si une chaîne se lancera ou pas. Voyez-vous, si vous utilisez le lanceur, parfois vous ne savez pas si une chaîne est en tamponnage ou si elle ne va pas du tout se lancer. Avec la ligne de commande, vous pouvez voir tout de suite si la chaîne est trouvée ou pas. | 
| - | I apologise for having so many images, but one gets to grips much better once you see something. | + | Ce qui ne veut pas dire que le lanceur n’est pas totalement mignon. | 
| - | I would like to see more channels in the future, maybe add those that require usernames and passwords, and let the user decide. It comes equipped with a proxy setup, allowing you to watch movies and series on retarded channels that geoblock you. | + | Comme c’est le cas d’autres téléviseurs, vous devrez mettre à jour la base de données du téléviseur de temps en temps. (Bon, il met la radio à jour aussi, mais vous savez ce que je veux dire, non ?) | 
| - | The github page mentions that it supports Tvheadend, but you can access that only via recordings. ( I suppose it does make sense, as Tvheadend is a DVR, but it does connect directly to cable etc.) | + | Avant d’essayer de regarder la télé ou d’écouter la radio, je suggère que votre première action soit de faire une telle mise à jour. Cela peut prendre du temps, mais ça vaut le coup d' |

| + | La partie géniale est que vous pouvez enregistrer la télé Live ou le flux, comme dans notre cas. Il suffit d’appuyer sur le bouton Record et c’est parti. C’est ici que la fenêtre flottante de VLC est un peu gênante. Je suppose qu’il y a une touche au clavier pour enregistrer, | ||
| + | Je vous prie de m’excuser pour le grand nombre d’images, mais on a une meilleure compréhension une fois qu’on voit quelque chose.  | ||
| + | J’aimerais voir plus de chaînes à l’avenir, avec, peut-être, l’ajout de celles où un nom d’utilisateur et un mot de passe sont nécessaires et laisser l’utilisateur prendre la décision. Le logiciel est équipé d’une configuration de proxy, ce qui vous permet de regarder des films ou des séries sur des chaînes attardées qui vous bloquent selon votre emplacement. | ||

You see they expect you to add a group. Maybe I’m too ‘old n crusty’, or maybe it could be a bit more user friendly when trying to import a web channel. Either way, it would also be greatly appreciated if someone could have a private list we could just import, like with Kodi. *wink-wink, nudge-nudge. ** | ||
| + | La page github mentionne qu’il prend en charge Tvheadend, mais vous ne pouvez y accéder que via des enregistrements. (Je suppose que c'est logique, car Tvheadend est un DVR, mais il connecte directement au câble, etc.) | ||
