    I'm sure the talented engineers at Vudu can fix this even quicker than I can pick up a new coffee table.

      Re: Official VUDU Labs Support and Discussion Thread

      My only feedback about VUDU Labs from a customer standpoint so far is this seems like a great direction to take, thank you. This has the potential to increase the Vudu powered-on time in our households. Feels very Tivo-like and that's a compliment.

      Hey, you left out PHP, .NET and hundreds more Amen to standardization, but we both know that will never happen.

      I've been reading up on Lua, it's interesting to note how Lua is described (emphasis mine):

      One of Lua's design goals is simplicity. Most languages are large, meaning that they have many sophisticated features built-in. Examples are C, C++, Python, Lisp, ML. A very few languages are small. Examples are Forth and Lua. Lua aims to provide a small range of atomic features which are truly essential, and from which many other sophisticated features can be constructed if desired. Examples of sophisticated features which can be added to Lua from within the language include modules, object orientation, and now exceptions and threads which can be implemented via coroutines in Lua 5.
      I wonder if Rails proponents would describe Rails similarly?

        I wrote my first Pascal compiler with Pascal. After you learn how to do that then you can easily see that Lua was probably written with Cobol.

          Re: Official VUDU Labs Support and Discussion Thread

          I ordered my Vudu box a few days ago. I assume that is on its way, so pardon my ignorance... this is my first post in the Vudu forum. If this is the wrong topic for this thread please point me to in the right direction.

          Can I assume that Vudu Labs (RIA addition) will eventually allow end users to stream media from a local server?

          I use a Squeezebox to listen to music streamed locally from my home media server (Squeezeserver) and remotely from the Squeezenetwork. This setup gives me a lot of flexibility. If one of the stream sources is down, for whatever reason, I can always switch to the other and continue listening to music. I understand that the videos can be downloaded and played from the Vudu box, but what about if I want to access my pictures via Vudu Labs? I'd hate to be stuck without access to my pictures for prolonged periods of time because of an outtage in the Vudu services side.

          Funny, the Squeezebox developers are also using Lua on the Squeezeplay client. Maybe in the future someone can write a plugin for the Vudu box to stream music from the Squeezeserver that'd play while watching a pictures show or as background sound for one of these new Vudu games.

            I saw an interview with the Rails developers...they were kind of arrogant about Rails having all the functions a developer would ever need.

                Because RIA was announced so recently, we haven't been told all the details yet, but you raise some interesting points, especially about running multiple Labs apps at once or, say, Lab App + regular VUDU software (e.g. listening to music while browsing for movies).

                  You create a small sub-set of Pascal commands with binary code to create "basic" functions. Then you build on top of that to create a super set of Pascal functions that call your core set of Pascal functions. So binary is involed if you want to create everything from scratch. But fortunately, I was provided with the core functions to build on. It was a fun project. Better than cross-word puzzles with vodka.

                        They say that's the one reason we evolved and we dogs didn't!

                            so with the open platfom will that be an opening for someone to make an app to stream movies from a computer or other source? Also I would love to see free TV channels on demand for TV shows that people actually watch I.E. CSI, House, etc... CBS, ABC, NBC, Fox??

                              There are actually a few shows that people watch that Vudu has already:

                              Sarah Connor Chronicles, The Closer, Shark, ER, and a few others. That said, the TV lineup is horribly lacking in general.

                              But yes, I can imagine that Vudu Labs will one day allow streaming from different sites and so forth. Right now, CBS has put some full episodes of shows up on YouTube. They are hard to find but there's some Star Trek and McGyver episodes for sure.
