Mediathek – TV-Programme downloaden

Sunday, November 29th, 2009

Mit Hilfe des wunderbaren Java-Programms Mediathek lassen sich Sendungen aus diversen TV-Mediatheken (ARD, ZDF, Arte, 3Sat, MDR, Schweizer Fernsehen) einfach downloaden und abonnieren. Aktuell ist die Version 1.4.1. Es empfiehlt sich, die Variante mit Bibliotheken (Mediathek_mit_libs_1.4.1.zip) runterzuladen und zu entpacken. Danach in das Verzeichnis wechseln, in welches man entpackt hat und Mediathek mit

java -jar Mediathek.jar

starten.

Funktionsweise und Bedienung werden in der Anleitung ausführlich erläutert.

Add repositories the karmic way

Monday, November 2nd, 2009

As of Karmic Koala Ubuntu introduces a new and simplified way to add repositories. From the command line you would just add

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:xorg-edgers/ppa

to register for example the Xorg-Edgers repository with APT and acquire the public key if required in one step.

I usually make use of a couple of third party repositories like Medibuntu, Xorg-Edgers, SMPlayer and XBMC SVN. Beeing a heavy user of Guake terminal this is just a very convenient and fast way to work with repositories.
