When do packages move from [community] to [extra]?
I notice azureus has 74 votes, while the next lowest package (skype) has 50. Is there a hard and set or not-so-hard and set rule for when packages are moved from [community] to [extra]? In the short history of AUR, have any packages been promoted to [extra]? (I'm guessing not because azureus has been highest for as long as I can remember).
Come to think of it, have mechanisms been put in place to demote packages from [extra] to [community] if they aren't popular enough?
I don't want to be seen as a trouble maker, I'm just curious. ;-) Having said that, I understand this is probably a flamewar waiting to happen and I am so thankful I am not moderator of this board. 8-)

Yes, rxvt-unicode went from community to extra.
But that wasn't based on having X number of votes..
Agree. It was promoted because neri was interested in maintaining it. It had 20+ votes, IIRC.

When I play movies from Netflix via Apple TV, the picture quality is like a color movie from 1960. When I play Netflix on the computer or Iphone, I have no quality problem. Also, the movie plays for 4 minutes, then freezes and download for another 5 minutes before continuing. The signal strenght on Apple TV show 3 boxes out of five. I have the Apple TV set up about 30 feet from my Airport, separated with drywall walls and on hardwood floor. I tried to find the answer of my problem on the Apple troubleshooting site without success. Finally, I am trying to download an updated software for my Apple TV and Apple TV tells me there 4 hours left to the download; is that normal?
I did the SPEEDTEST, and my download is 25Mbs. My connection should not be the problem. I use Shaw cable with HIGH SPEED INTERNET. If I watch it on my computer or Iphone, the picture quality is excellent. The problem is the communication between my Airport and my Apple TV. At the store, the guaranteed me there would be no problem anywhere in the house. As I mentionned earlier, the signal has to travel between walls and floor. I get only 3 boxes out of five for signal strenght. I moved my AppleTV 3 feet from my Airport and I donèt have anymore problems; image quality or download speed. But of course, I do not want my AppleTV beside my computer. The reason I bought it is to be able to watch Netflix and my computer content on my TV in the family room. That was the whole purpose, but the AppleTV does not work well at that distance. I may as well bring it back to the store and continue to rent BD dvds.

When streaming a movie from an imac to apple tv, is there a way of putting the imac display off? I find it a waste having the screen on in another room. Any advice?
No problem.
This is a user forum so you are not addressing Apple. There's nothing to fix, that's how home-sharing works. There would be no way for the ATV to recognize your library and display content if the computer is in sleep mode.
You can always airplay from an IOS device or use icloud if you don't wish to keep the computer on. -

When i import movies from my iPhoto app to my iMovie app does it make a copy (thereby using double the hard disk space) or does it link to my iPhoto app? The reason i ask is i want to archive all my videos from iPhoto/iMovie. Do i need to archive the movies in iPhoto AND iMovie? HELP!
Hi - I'm having the same problem with freeing up space on the HD. If I can't free space if I'm using any part of the clip, how can I split up the clips so that I can discard the part I won't use? This is crazy! I have only 4 GB of free space left!
Also, I've tried to transfer the project file to my external HD but I keep getting an error saying I can't transfer it. I've been told this is because I don't have enough space on the HD for the transfer. I tried a similar transfer with another computer with plenty of HD space but the same error occurred. Is there a way to break up the project file into small pieces for the transfer (I'm thinking the whole movie file is just too big)?
Thanks for any info! -

I have a similar issue with my Home Sharing. Everything plays just fine on my Apple TV except when I try to play a movie using Home Sharing. If I choose the same show or movie from the Purchased section of iTunes it works just fine but nothing ever loads for me on Home Sharing.
Not the exact same issue, but very similar. Good luck, I'm hoping to learn something here too! -

When I purchase movies from Itunes I am unable to view them. But when I rent a movie it is viewable. Why is this?
Heres what I don't like about VLC, but at least the files are viewable...somewhat.
1. You can't flip the image 90degrees, needs to have a rotate feature for sure. This needs to have keyboard shortcut so vids can be rotated easily as one may have shot video horizontally and vertically in the same take.
2. Opens file to a very large window, most of it off the screen, it should REMEMBER what you resized it to, so the next time a video is played you don't have to drag the window back on the screen so you can get to the resizing handle in the lower corner.
3. Doesn't buffer while playing, so the movies are extremely erractic, starting and stopping every 3 seconds, highly annoying.
OK so maybe my PC is too slow, its a dual processor 486 Hyperrthread 2.8G but I only have 2Gigs of memory, however, bettery than 50% of the memory is still available while playing a vid (memory is checked every 4 seconds with a program), but I have 90-100% CPU useage going on while playing.
Maybe I should think about a new computer. -
Yes I bought it and it wouldent play off my iPhone , so I bought it off my iPad 2 and lost it during a sync episode so I bought it twice and never sew it . It so hard to talk to some one when you rent movies from iTunes they get the money fast but if you have any trouble it's a series of things befor you get any real help that *****
iTunes support would be the only way i'm afraid.

Does anyone know why when streaming a movie from my iMac the screen on my tele goes grey but I still get audio. It only happens when using the DVD application on the mac. iPhoto streams fine.
You are prevented from Airplay mirroring certain things like DVD content as the material is usually protected so you get a checkerboard type display. I think there is a theoretical risk that the Airplay stream could be intercepted and the protected video copied, albeitin lower quality.
Apple may be being cautious or are required to do so with the DVD player app by movie studios/licensing authorities. It makes no sense to the average consumer who is just trying to send their purchased DVD to the TV via the computer and AppleTV.
Playback in something like VLC should work - not tried it myself but others have commented it doesn't have the restriction. -

I have ATV2 and the correct version of ITunes yet when watching a movie from ITunes, ATV2 will drop it mid way through and then will claim home sharing is not activated in ITunes. Can anyone offer advice please?
yepp, I have done numerous tests today, skipped router and hard wired betwenn PC and appletv3. same problem.
same network, but from my laptop, works like a charm.. so its not reproducable on all machines.
this seems to be a itunes/bonjour problem, not ATV3 problem. -

Well, I even can't find any developer-website for hwinfo. Even at SuSE there are no information about it (but they have been the prior developers). Does somebody know a developers mail-adress or any other information about the hwinfo-project?
One more thing, every entry for hwinfo13.48 in google links to the Archlinux-AUR. It seems like there does no official hwinfo 13.48 exist (but in AUR). Possibly the available version in UNSUPPORTED is inofficial oder faked version-nr?
for all other people start a new thread about such things in the appropriate forum section.
@champus:
use as url: http://download.opensuse.org/distributi … /suse/src/
you can find the hwinfo src rpm there, which you should use as source.
in the build part of the PKGBUILD extract the rpm with rpmextract.sh, which gives you the source tarball. From there I think you can figure out what to do next.
