Ubuntu TV has been revealed by Canonical earlier today. The interface is made of same underlying tech that powers Ubuntu desktop. Using dash, lenses, scopes, universal search bar etc. a pretty neat interface has been created.
sudo apt-get install bzr bzr-builddeb debhelper dh-translations cmake pkg-config libqt4-dev libqt4-opengl-dev libglib2.0-dev libwnck-3-dev libpango1.0-dev libqtgconf-dev libdconf-qt-dev libqtbamf-dev libqtdee-dev libdbusmenu-qt-dev libx11-dev libindicator3-dev libgtk-3-dev libutouch-geis-dev libstartup-notification0-dev libunity-core-4.0-dev libnux-1.0-dev libxi-dev cdbs dh-autoreconf libdeclarative-multimedia libqt4-declarative-shaders dconf-tools ffmpeg gnome-common
Browse the source code by running the command below:
bzr branch lp:ubuntutv
bzr branch lp:~s-team/ubuntutv/unity-lens-video
Run commands below to make deb packages out of the code. It will take some time.
cd ~/ubuntutv
bzr builddeb -- -uc -us
cd ~/unity-lens-video
bzr builddeb -- -uc -us
Install all the newly created deb packages from your home folder
cd ~/
sudo dpkg -i --force-all *.deb
Set the Unity 2D form factor to TV by running the command below:
GSETTINGS_SCHEMA_DIR=ubuntu-tv/data gsettings set com.canonical.Unity2d form-factor tv
If you’re running unity-2d, you need to kill unity-2d-panel, unity-2d-places, unity-2d-launcher, unity-2d-spread (twice):
$ killall unity-2d-{panel,places,launcher,spread} && killall unity-2d-{panel,places,launcher,spread}
If you’re running unity, replace compiz with metacity:
$ metacity --replace &
Run Ubuntu TV
Try at your own risk..!!!
Note: Don't try it on your own system. Do it on virtualbox because installing Ubuntu TV will break your existing Unity2D packages.
