I saw a post on here not so long ago where someone had got their OS to load up a media player and start playing Japanese stuff on load up, and I was wondering how one would go about it. I'm currently running Ubuntu 9.10, having recently migrated from Vista... any ideas?

Might want to take a look at this python script I made: http://github.com/bombpersons/MYOT

You could run the program to run at login, and it will automatically play content like a TV channel. You can control when everything plays in the file schedule_settings.py.

For example, you can set a certain show(s) to play on a certain day at a certain time. Or set only new episodes to show at a certain time of day.

I use my computer alarm clock to play an MP3 with Korean on it which wakes me up in the morning. This usually gets me going from the get-go. Most freeware computer alarm clocks will do, but you could probably seek one out that will let you set multiple alarms at the same time every day, with different MP3s.

How do you even open that kind of file? Does it have a GUI? (Sorry for the inconvenience, but I know nothing about other forms of coding besides the introduction to C++ that I am currently taking right now at school).

Yeah, I think I'll need to write a README or something. It doesn't have a gui, but it's very easy to set up.

A *.py file is a python source file. If you know any python it will easy to set up, but if you read the schedule_settings.py file, you could probably figure it out.

Once you've set up the files settings.py and schedule_settings.py, copy them into the myot folder. Then run the MYOT.py file with python.

If that was confusing don't worry, I'll write a more comprehensive usage guide and put with the rest of the files at git hub.

So I'm assuming I need some sort of python software to run the py files, correct? Because all of those files in that folder can't be opened by anything I currently have.

Yes, you should probably install the python runtime for your system. see http://python.org/download/

Is there anything else I need besides the runtime? I tried to open the settings and schedule files and all they did was flash on the screen and disappeared.

Theres a little more to it than that. I'll add a guide to the wiki.

I put a little info at:

I still need to format it properly and still add a bit more info, but at the moment I gotta get some sleep =(
